PERSPECTIVE NUMERIQUE
by Emaux
& 1 other
Il s'agit d'une conjecture: nous serions les acteurs d'une invention majeure, analogue à la " perspective spatiale", qui marqua le passage du monde hiérarchisé du Moyen Age, à celui, géométrisé, de la Renaissance ; analogue aussi à la " perspective temporelle" née il y a deux siècles avec l'invention du télégraphe, et qui domine actuellement (ses " points de fuite" sont les émetteurs de télévision, les moteurs de recherche et les sites web que nous connaissons)

Initiation au sabre japonais : Ressemblances et différences entre l’escrime de l’occident et de l’orient
by Takwann
Par Maxime Chouinard
Le kenjutsu, ou l’art du sabre, a une histoire de plus de mille ans au Japon. Comme tout art de combat il est régit par des lois universelles et, de par ce fait, comporte plusieurs ressemblances avec l’escrime occidentale, que ce soit dans ses gardes ou bien dans certains concepts de base. Il serait donc profitable pour les pratiquants, qu’ils soient d’une école asiatique ou européenne, d’apprendre d’un autre peuple pour se comprendre eux-mêmes.
Ce petit document vous introduira au kenjutsu, son histoire et ses pratiques et tentera quelques comparaisons avec l’escrime européenne de la Renaissance. Tout ceci est fait au meilleur de mes connaissances sur le sujet qui sont, vous le devinerez, beaucoup plus développées en ce qui à trait au sabre japonais. Aussi veuillez excusez les omissions involontaires de ma part.

Talking Mixology With Dale DeGroff | alcohol, cocktails, dale degroff | yumsugar - Food, Drink, & Entertaining.

Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Dale DeGroff. If you've never heard of DeGroff, you'll be surprised to know that he has changed your life. Remember that basil gimlet you enjoyed at the bar last week? You can thank Dale for that. Or what about that perfectly poured martini? Dale's responsible for that, too. Known to food insiders as the King of Cocktails, Dale DeGroff is single-handedly responsible for the renaissance of classic cocktails. Back in 1980s New York, at a time when the majority of bars served drinks made from overly-sweet mixes, Dale was mixing drinks with fresh, seasonal, local ingredients and creating cocktails based on preprohibition recipes. To find out what the master has to say about cocktail trends and to see who he thinks is the best bartender in America today, read more.
