  • How to Choose Knives Upstream and Downstream of Good Cooking There Is Always a Good Knife
    COLTELLERIE BERTI How to choose Knives Upstream and downstream of good cooking there is always a good knife. Every day we use many objects without knowing their intimate nature and without knowing which phenomena and undisputable physical laws determine their operation and usefulness for us .However, understanding such matters is impossible, considering the vast amount of knowledge it would require. These few pages, which make no claim to covering everything, will give you the opportunity of getting to know something more about knife making so you can use your knives better and get more satisfaction out of them. Handmade. Made in Italy. Choosing a knife for home. How to choose Is it normal to use saw blades to cut food other than bread, focaccia and products out of the oven? Is it really parsimonious to spend less for a knife that cuts badly and that you later have to throw away? Is it really an idea of the past to have high quality blades sharpened ever now and then, so you can still count on an excellent cutting tool through time? Is it a luxury to cut meat at the table with a hand made, smooth-bladed knife having a handle made of horn? We think not. This is why we feel it our duty to illustrate the essential cutting requirements with good knives, to all those who want to choose a knife set from our Collections. You can choose among preparation, serving and table knives with: Stainless steel blades with a high degree of carbon to ensure a long lasting cut.

  • Tenaga Dalam Volume 2 - August 1999
    Tenaga Dalam Volume 2 - August 1999 The Voice of the Indonesian Pencak Silat Governing Board - USA Branch Welcome to the August issue of Tenaga Dalam. A lot has occurred since May issue. Pendekar Sanders had a very successful seminar in Ireland with Guru Liam McDonald on May 15-16, a very large and successful seminar at Guru Besar Jeff Davidson’s school on June 5-6 and he just returned from a seminar in England. The seminar at Guru Besar Jeff Davidson’s was video taped and the 2 volume set can be purchased through Raja Naga. Tape 1 consists of blakok (crane) training and Tape 2 has about 15 minutes more of blakok training followed by a very intense training session in various animal possessions including the very rare Raja Naga possession. Guru Besar Davidson and his students should be commended on their excellent portrayal of the art. Tape 1 is available to the general public, but due to the intense nature of tape 2 you must be a student. It is with great sadness that I must report that Guru William F. Birge passed away. William was a long time personal student of Pendekar Sanders and he will be missed by all of the people that he came into contact with. 1 Tribute to Guru William F.

Legislate Knives Application Form Ourinternational membership is happily involved with “Anything that goes ‘cut’!” October 2008 Fixed blade knives I’ve also heard this type of sheath called the “wallet sheath.” are extremely handy, Horsewright Clothing & Tack Co. offers a wallet sheath very much especially short like the one for the Woodswalker for $45.00 and is designed to hold bladed, compact small short-bladed knives. Of course, if you are at all handy with ones. I am firmly in leather working, making one is a cinch (pun). the camp of those that think anything more The knife on the left is my A.G. Russell Woodswalker. Though the than a 4" blade is hardwood handle that comes with the knife is very nice, I have a bad overkill for most situations. I have a Ruana Smoke Jumper and wear it regularly when working outside or just spending time in the woods. You couldn’t ask for a better short- bladed "belt" knife. Short bladed, under 4", will cut nearly everything that a person needs to cut. However, what if you don’t have a belt onto which to secure that sheath knife? Maybe you’re wearing sweat pants, coveralls or another beltless outfit. Or what if a knife on your belt is a bit too obvious in this politically correct world? Do you grab your folding knife with clip or your neck knife? Though both of these are viable options, I think there is an even better option.

  • ABSTRAK Etnik Bajau Merupakan Etnik Kedua Terbesar Di Kota Belud
    IKONOGRAFI MOTIF PADA SENJATA TRADISIONAL GAYANG ETNIK BAJAU SAMA DI KOTA BELUD Mohd Farit Azamuddin bin Musa Humin Jusilin Universiti Malaysia Sabah [email protected] ABSTRAK Etnik Bajau merupakan etnik kedua terbesar di Kota Belud. DI daerah ini, sebahagian petaninya menjalankan kegiatan pertanian dan penternakan untuk meneruskan kelangsungan hidup. Bagi kaum lelaki, senjata amat penting dalam kehidupan seharian kerana kegunaannya sebagai alat untuk memburu, bercucuk tanam dan utiliti harian. Jenis senjata yang dihasilkan ialah pida’ (parang pendek), guk (parang), lading (pisau), keris, kagayan (parang panjang), beladau (parang jenis sabit) dan gayang (pedang). Fungsi pida’, guk beladau dan lading lazimnya digunakan untuk aktiviti harian seperti bercucuk tanam dan memburu. Karis, kagayan, dan gayang pula digunakan sebagai alat untuk mempertahankan diri. Setiap senjata memainkan peranan penting dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Walaupun begitu, setiap senjata yang ditempa boleh dimanipulasi sebagai senjata untuk melindungi diri daripada ancaman bahaya terutamanya daripada haiwan buas dan berbisa. Pelbagai jenis motif dan hiasan pada senjata melalui olahan idea yang diambil daripada persekitaran mereka. Tujuan kajian ini dihasilkan adalah untuk meneliti bentuk dan motif pada senjata tradisional dari segi visual dan istilahnya. Kajian lapangan (fieldwork) dijalankan di daerah Kota Belud khususnya di Kampung Siasai Jaya, Kampung Siasai Dundau, Kampung Siasai Kumpang, dan Kampung Tengkurus. Data yang diperolehi adalah berbentuk kualitatif dengan mengaplikasi indikator teori ikonografi daripada Panofsky (1939). Penelitian tentang data kajian melalui tiga peringkat iaitu identifikasi, analisis formalistik dan interpretasi makna. Motif yang dikenal pasti terbahagi kepada dua kategori iaitu bersifat organik dan geometri yang merangkumi motif flora, fauna, dan alam sekitar. Pengkaji juga melakukan pengesahan data bersama beberapa informan.

  • Stage 2 Topic 2 Earth's Resources
    SACE Stage 2: Earth and Environmental Science Topic 2: Earth’s Resources Earth at night showing Africa, Europe and western Asia (https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/view.php?id=79793) What can be interpreted from this image? Version 1 notes by Bernd Michaelsen Monday_11_December_2017 1 Topic 2: Earth’s Resources Students study how, for thousands of years, humans have made use of Earth’s resources to sustain life and provide infrastructure for living. They consider how new technologies have made possible the discovery of the larger quantities of resources needed in a technological society and have led to new extraction processes. Students extend their personal and social capability and ethical understanding through discussing the environmental consequences of the extraction, processing, and use of non- renewable mineral and energy resources. They recognise how sustainability of resources is now a topic for public debate — a debate that can be informed by the work of scientists. Students investigate the formation of non-renewable mineral and energy resources; techniques used for their discovery; identification and extraction, and effects of the extraction; and use of these resources on ecosystems. They use skills in selection, graphing, analysis, and evaluation of data to draw conclusions about the environmental impacts associated with the use of non-renewable resources and current extraction and processing practices. NOTE TO TEACHERS: These notes have been designed to elaborate on the Possible Contexts provided in the Earth and Environmental Science subject outline. They are intended to provide further ideas and links to teaching and learning resources that address the Science Understanding. It is important to remember that you are not expected to cover all of the material included.
