It was the last of the Gurus, Gobind Singh, who completed this transformation. He insisted that his followers take the name of Singh (lion) and swear an oath to cut neither hair nor beard, to wear a steel bangle on the right wrist and a comb in their hair, to carry a sabre, and to wear short trousers. Gobind Singh had a purpose in making these demands. He wanted to raise the status of his followers and to emphasise that among them there were no castes; he wanted them to be easily distinguishable so they would have no chance to deny their faith; he wanted them to be fit and ready to fight.
Only three out of 27 chapters in the book are primarily focused on the Cotswold morris. The primary beneficiary of this wider focus is the North-West morris. There are two reasons for this. The first is that, whereas Cotswold morris has an admirable published history in Keith Chandler’s books, there is no such equivalent for North-West morris, so I felt obliged to go into its history in more detail. The second is that, looked at dispassionately, the North-West is where morris remained consistently strong and embedded in its communities when it was in decline elsewhere. The renowned artist Manolo Pérez, who ran Cuba ’s most famous animation house (Estudios de Animación ICAIC) between 1970 and 1984, passed away in early August . He was 86. For years, she didn’t try it. “I was afraid to film it for a long time,” she recalled . This was a character without a face, or hands, or limbs of any kind. She hadn’t done anything quite like it.And there may be more turmoil coming for American animation — the talk in Hollywood is that Warner Bros. Discovery could sell to Comcast in a few years, according to The Hollywood Reporter . While handkerchiefs had, and continue to have, many uses, there is one particular use that is often overlooked. The ability to tie a knot.
As for the knotted handkerchief itself, it’s more than it appears to be. Really, it’s a puppet designed to look and act like a handkerchief. Describing the thought process behind it, one commentator noted, “The inside reinforcements must not affect its movement, and must be well hidden in every position.” 1 The Japanese magazine library Oya Soichi Bunko has a new exhibit — over 500 magazines with articles connected to Studio Ghibli. It starts October 9.Using scrap paper. As soon as we have a piece of scrap paper, we have a way of expanding our memory, by writing things down. On that note, one we missed: a recent behind-the-scenes for the Mexican series Frankelda’s Book of Spooks . It points to a short that’s new to us — the visually stunning Revoltoso , by the creators of Frankelda . This concept had existed since at least the ‘40s. “ The Knot in the Handkerchief is a very old one,” Týrlová said in 1979. It wasn’t a plan for a story — just a thought that she could turn a handkerchief into a character. (Týrlová’s choice of physical material drove many of her films, guiding her other decisions.)
In America , Netflix Animation and Warner Bros. Discovery saw more layoffs this week — roughly 30 people at Netflix, around 100 people in Warner’s ad sales divisions and an unspecified number on Warner’s film Bye Bye Bunny .Sikhism started when a young Punjabi, Nanak Chand, who was born in 1469, set out to draw together the Hindus and the Muslims. He believed that there was much in common between the two faiths and that the misery and the wars which had so hurt the Punjab over the centuries could be avoided if the two peoples could be brought together. Accompanied by a Muslim musician and a Hindu peasant, Nanak preached his message of the brotherhood of man throughout the Punjab and as far afield as Assam and Ceylon. His crusade was against the fanaticism and intolerance of the Muslim faith as much as against the meaningless rituals and discriminations against castes and sex which were marring the Hindu religion. On his death in 1539 Guru Nanak (as he was known) had a large following of disciples (or, in Punjabi, Sikhs) made up of both Hindus and Muslims. Over the next 170 years, under the leadership of nine successive Gurus, the Sikhs were built up into a people with their own faith, their own religious rituals, their own customs and ways of life. They changed too from being a people pledged to follow the pacifist teachings of Nanak into a sect of fighting men. I was criticized at the Artistic Council in Prague, told that I was ‘still playing with my little feelings’ and that I should prove myself,” Týrlová remembered. “So I went for it.” Yes, but rather by accident. After I’d been with the Oxford City Morris Men for a couple of years, the bagman produced a battered old photograph album and said, “This is our history from 1937 to the early 60s – can you bring it up to date?” So I started digging and never stopped. In the end, I produced 11 volumes for Oxford City, bringing the history up to 1982. They’re now in the Oxfordshire History Centre, together with the six continuation volumes to 1996.
