I ordered the Winsor Pilates Workout System. Does it actually give the consumers the claimed benefits?
I recently ordered the Winsor Pilates System, the $85 one! I just hope that it wasn’t just a waste of money. I still yet have to try it, I am just waiting for it to come. Anyone out there who has tried it and actually gained some results, please let me know. It claims that it tones muscles, gives good structure to the body, helps to lose weight, etc. Does it actually do all that?
The Inner Structure of Tai Chi
The Inner Structure of Tai Chi
TAI CHI / MARTIAL ARTSTaoist adepts developed tai chi as both a martial art and a way to cultivate the physical body, energy body, and spirit body. Like all Taoist exercises, its main purpose is to form a connection to the basic energy that is the foundation of all life: chi. Until the beginning of the twentieth century, tai chi was considered a secret practice that was passed down only within a closely knit structure of family and loyal disciples. Despite its widespread growth in popularity as a martial art and health exercise, many of its underlying internal practices remain unknown.The Inner Structure of Tai Chi explores the deep, internal work necessary for the effective practice of tai chi. Designed for practitioners at every level, the book contains step-by-step illustrated instructions for mastering the 13 forms of early Yang-style tai chi, also known as Tai Chi Chi Kung. The authors demonstrate the relationship of the inner structure of tai chi to the absorption, transformation, and circulation of the three forces that animate all life–the Universal force, the Cosmic force, and the Earth force–revealing the principles and practices necessary to receive the full spectrum of physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits that tai chi can bring.A student of several Taoist masters, MANTAK CHIA founded the Universal Healing Tao System in 1979 and has taught tens of thousands of students from all over the world. He tours the United States annually, giving workshops and lectures. He is the director of the Tai Garden Integrative Medicine Health Spa and Resort training center and the Universal Healing Tao training center in northern Thailand and is the author of twenty-five books, including the bestselling The Multi-Orgasmic Man.JUAN LI is a senior Universal Tao instructor who began his studies with Mantak Chia in 1982 and now presents these teachings throughout Western Europr. He lives in Spain.

do you have to relax to learn kung-fu ?
I read that in kung-fu. you have to relax to produce a powerful punch. What if I am someone who doesn’t like to relax and likes using muscles. I can relax, but I like to feel my own weight and body mass as I relax. I also have big biceps. Would it be too hard for me to learn kung-fu since I read that kung-fu styles like wing chun uses not body mass but the skeletal structure.
Is there a list of Unicode Chinese characters’ radical structure?
Mostly for the heck of it, I’m making a Unicode font. I’d like to make it include the CJK range, since I have some uses for Chinese as a Kung Fu instructor, but there are thousands of letters! I could write a script to compose the letters from the radicals (and that would be good enough for what I need, I don’t need anything too fancy) but I can’t find a list that says what radicals are combined how to make each character in the list. Is there a list? I can’t draw them all myself individually. I found a list that I can figure out the base radical, but I would need all the radicals and how they’re combined.
I’m actually making the unicode font for the Syriac and Hebrew, pluss I want something that has a bunch of ligatures for Greek. Chinese would be nice because I’d like to have one good font to just set MS Word to use and be done with it, rather than having to switch back and forth, but I have specific things I’m trying to accomplish in Syriac, Hebrew, and Greek, so those are necissary. Latin is easy, so I’m doing that. I just want to set the font for the doc and not have to worry any more about switching for specific langauges. Right now, I’ve got to switch for a Syriac font that I think is okay, but not great, a Hebrew font which sucks, and a Greek font that is fine but a completely different style and so looks akward.
