Kum Nye is a simple but precise regime that guarantees to significantly increase energy levels, improve fitness and strengthen and tone the body. Based on a system developed in Tibet over thousands of years this book is the first to bring the techniques to the WEst as a highly accessible and brilliantly effective package. Kum Nye consists of 8 positions to be held in sequence for up to 2 minutes. Each position is specifically designed to work on different areas of the body, while developing overall strength and flexibility. But, most importantly, these moves will increase energy levels, stamina and vitality. Such is their efficacy that they must not be done before going to sleep! But should be performed first thing as a truly invigorating morning wake up. Unlike any other kind of exercise system this can be mastered by anyone - regardless of age and fitness and, as a trained chiropodist, Wright lays emphasis on the benefits of this technique for people suffering from back pain and old injuries. Originally use to prepare Tibetan soldiers for war, this ancient science is guaranteed to wake up even the sleepiest of sleepy heads.

Catalogue for the Sheldon Museum of Art's exhibition "Strange Bodies: Hybrid, Text, and the Human Form," selected and curated by Professor Alison Stewart's "History of Prints: New Media of the Renaissance" class during the fall semester of 2016 in the School of Art, Art History, & Design at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Each of the eleven prints offers a different understanding or take on the body. Some are grounded in the physical and social aspects of humanity, while others present the body as a site for fantastic imagination and performance. Still others reference the printed page as a "body." Whether fish, fowl, or human, the body as seen in these prints continues to intrigue us across the centuries and show that even though times change, people and their concerns do not. With contributions from John-David Richardson, Grant Potter, Grace Short, Taylor Wismer, Stephanie Wright, Claire Kilgore, Nikita Lenzo, Bryon Hartley, Ian Karss, Danley Walkington, and Taylor Stobbe.
It was a hard-knock life for Mr. Earl Harris, and it was only because he was born Black. Born and raised in the small town of Green Bay, Wisconsin, where it was predominantly White, Mr. Earl Harris obviously stood out. He would always get picked on at school and anywhere else he went. Being called a nigger became a normal thing for him, and he came to the conclusion that putting his head down when a White person walked by was the right thing to do. Sometimes Earl would ask his mother if he could be homeschooled because he was tired of the students and even the teachers picking on him, but his mother said that he would have to deal with it because she could not provide him with the proper edu...
With roots that stretch from West Africa through the black pulpit, hip hop emerged in the streets of the South Bronx in the 1970s and has spread to the farthest corners of the earth. "To the Break of Dawn" uniquely examines this freestyle verbal artistry on its own terms. A kid from Queens who spent his youth at the epicenter of this new art form, music critic William Jelani Cobb takes readers inside the beats, the lyrics, and the flow of hip hop, separating mere corporate rappers from the creative MCs that forged the art in the crucible of the street jam.The four pillars of hip hop - break dancing, graffiti art, deejaying, and rapping - find their origins in traditions as diverse as the Afro-Brazilian martial art Capoeira and Caribbean immigrants' turnstile artistry.
Award-winning historian Amrita Chakrabarti Myers has recovered the riveting, troubling, and complicated story of Julia Ann Chinn (ca. 1796–1833), the enslaved wife of Richard Mentor Johnson, owner of Blue Spring Farm, veteran of the War of 1812, and US vice president under Martin Van Buren. Johnson never freed Chinn, but during his frequent absences from his estate, he delegated to her the management of his property, including Choctaw Academy, a boarding school for Indigenous men and boys on the grounds of the estate. This meant that Chinn, although enslaved herself, oversaw Blue Spring’s slave labor force and had substantial control over economic, social, financial, and personal affairs...
