Was wondering if you looked into aquaponics "Aquaponics is, at its most basic level, the marriage of aquaculture (raisingfish) and hydroponics (growing plants in water and without soil) together in one integrated system. The fish waste provides organic food for the growing plants and the plants naturally filter the water in which the fish live." https://www.1millionwomen.com.au/blog/how-hell-does-aquaponics-acutally-work/

Miyoko Shida Rigolo interprets the Sanddorn Balance in a mysterious, almost mystical way. It is immediately clear how profoundly Miyoko Shida Rigolo touches people with her performance. After just a few performances, she received invitations to Russian circus festivals and won prizes there (the Silver Medal and the Special Prize from the Russian State Circus at the 5th International Festival of Circus Art in Izhevsk, Udmurtia, Russia, 2012). Her first appearance in Spain was broadcast on television and the clip of her performance became an internet sensation: more than 10 million clicks within a few days. The whole world was talking about Miyoko Shida Rigolo and the art of the “Sanddorn Balance”. http://www.rigolo.ch/en/balance/artists/miyoko-shida/

Watching her movements one should understand that she is part of the demo. She must be empty, in other words, she must remove her self from the demo in order to allow “it” to achieve its own equilibrium through her. 觀看她的動作應該明白:她是演示的一部分。 她必須是空的，換句話說，她必須從演示中移除她的自我，以便讓“它”透過她實現自己的平衡。 一羽不能加，蠅蟲不能落 One of the major starting points of taiji. 太極的主要出發點之一。 A lot of what is shown relates directly to the practice of taiji.

I hear the weather's pretty nice over there this time of year. ralis, might want to do it sooner than later.

Actually no, I was not aware of that,,,thank you for making it so. I do agree with your other points only found the "white" male point a little odd,,,Now I get it. thanks Those who use this inference should get out a little more they might find that "males" by most cultures are usually in leadership positions. Other races,,, wow,,,,they really need to get out more.

You didnt post this? You drew attention to the the fact that they are "white" I can understand the "male" part considering the thread,,does being "white" make a difference ? I do agree that if or when things go down hill, the tendency if she as a leader is not strong others will be blamed. With countries like Germany for example their leader who happens to be a woman is quite strong and is held accountable for her actions....

Is it the fact that they are "white" or male that's the problem In china the males tend to hold power, but they are not considered white, is that a problem.

Do mean to say that all thats needed is for the opposition to use women, and they will run away?

....

All CMA are internal by nature and culture.. The distinction of external vs internal was something that was later applied and has caused much confusion for some. . some history " Others countered that it is, after all, called Chen Style Taijiquan, so it should be included as part of the Internal Division. Master Wu Tunan did not concur. He felt that Chen Style should be treated as an external style, similar to Shaolin. Someone turned to Chen Fake, Master Chen, you are the standard bearer of the Chen Family, is it external or internal? Chen Fake answered, If the revered master Wu thinks it is external, then it is external! We did not have this distinction at home. (Later on, in a remarkable reversal of logic, this statement was actually quoted by some as proof that Chen Style Taijiquan is not the original source of Taijiquan, since family member Chen Fake did not even acknowledge it as an internal style.)" http://practicalmethod.com/2012/02/from-the-archives-of-www-chenzhonghua-org-the-article-what-is-in-a-name/

Now you done it.... The premise of the thread "I am a believer in traditional matriarchal societies that kept us safely alive and thriving and happy (sic) for a million years. I don't think we ever got anything right on this planet since the patriarchal takeover. As in, never, and nothing. As in, an ongoing disaster of a few thousand years with no end in sight. As in, I don't think there's a political system that can grow out of a patriarchal set-up that will ever bring anything but misery to the majority. I don't care what it's called. " Do you agree with the premise of the thread,,,that there was some kind of take over at some point in time?

My perception, is this part of my perception "I learned about in my university class with photos of how the warriors were women and leader was also female, because they believed that "the men were just not as trustworthy as warriors and women were just better fighters" in that particular group. Imagine the raised eyebrows as the professor talked about that." I just found the comment, and some others to be against most if not all studies done, which in my time in the service in some of the assignments held we had to be aware of and look into as part of the staff " Combat Development"

you know this how?

really? and you, would they also beat you like a rag doll....Do you train in MA if so how long... In my time I worked with those who competed at those levels while never competing my self,,,didnt have the interest. The point was and is, that some seem to be under the mistaken impression there are no differences between men and women and that some how they are equal in all aspects.... "I'm wondering what your intent is in the thread ww... do you have a point, or are you just flexing and naysaying anything regarding women... to impress the ladies?" My intent, what is yours and others.. Some comments regarding warriors, ect seem to go against basic facts and studies. This was written by a female concerning the olympics "Speaking as a former amateur boxer, I am all agog at the thought of a female-to-male transsexual actually qualifying for an Olympic spot. “Faster, higher, stronger” is not only the motto of the Olympics, it sums up the relationship of elite male athletes to elite female athletes. For example, Florence Griffith Joyner of the USA ran 100 meters in 10.49 seconds. Usain Bolt of Jamaica did it in 9.58 seconds. In sports, that’s a big margin." https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/shame-2018-winter-olympics-allows-men-claiming-to-be-women-to-compete-again

" British study finds female soldiers 'too weak' for land combat 1/14/2002 12:58:35 PM Problems with Physical Capabilities and Unit Cohesion James Clark; Electronic Daily Telegraph London Times, 6/24/01 An extensive study ordered by British Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon has reportedly recommended that women should not be allowed to fight in the front line. Citing evidence gathered over 18 months, the "Combat Effectiveness Gender Study" concluded that females lack the strength and stamina needed to serve in the infantry, armored regiments, Royal Marines or the RAF Regiment, the Air Force’s infantry unit." http://www.dadi.org/fem2weak.htm

Well some find out the hard way what it means “I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because [he] was born a man or not, because I’m not a doctor,” she stated. “I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life, and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right. ” His “grip was different,” she added. “I could usually move around in the clinch against...females but couldn’t move at all in Fox’s clinch.”https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/transgender-female-boxer-gives-female-opponent-concussion-breaks-her-eye-so I guess there's no Amazons around to set the record straight. “He was born a man, and he is a man, even though he calls himself a transsexual”, said Costa. “It’s absurd cowardice, not only by him, but also by the promoters of any event that has accepted this kind of absurdity. He has simply annihilated the girls who have fought against him. They were slaughtered, they put their lives at risk, they put their physical integrity at risk”. https://www.mmamania.com/2018/1/12/16882832/paulo-costa-offers-to-beat-up-transgender-fighter-fallon-fox-for-free-ufc-mma An interesting side note. some of Links I had supporting the studies are no longer found,,,looks like google strikes again... This one seems to work “History shows that the presence of women has had a devastating impact on the effectiveness of men in battle,” wrote John Luddy in July 27, 1994, for the Heritage Foundation backgrounder. “For example, it is a common misperception that Israel allows women in combat units. In fact, women have been barred from combat in Israel since 1950, when a review of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War showed how harmful their presence could be. The study revealed that men tried to protect and assist women rather than continue their attack. As a result, they not only put their own lives in greater danger, but also jeopardized the survival of the entire unit. The study further revealed that unit morale was damaged when men saw women killed and maimed on the battlefield,” Luddy said.

Which is why I had asked in another post about who the woman warriors fought against. "to use the “Israeli experience” as an allegedly successful model for the U.S. to follow is not only absurd, it’s disingenuous. It is a lie propagated by radical feminists like ex-Democratic Rep. Patricia Schroeder who have falsely claimed that such a goal is merely an extension of “the will of the people.” Perhaps if more lawmakers – and Americans in general – were exposed to military service, the idiots who seem to be dominating this debate wouldn’t have many sympathetic ears.

I never understood why people talk about Warriors and fighting when in most athletic sports the Sexes are separated. Having served in the military for 20 years there are no studies past present or current that would confirm women warriors as being a viable fighting force against their male counterparts. All show the opposite... There are a host of injuries due to their physical makeup that do and can happen to them that technology for the most part cannot mitigate. This is not to say they do not serve with distinction and honor in other than Frontline roles of combat forces.

no need. I found it kind of odd that some would talk about women being better warriors then men,,,just wondered who they fought against for their group to reach the conclusions stated.

old school always brings a smile freedom rider with the wild one

Did they mention who they fought against ?
