Slice and Dice with Precision: The Art of Cutting Knives

In the culinary world, the right tools can make all the difference between a mediocre meal and a culinary masterpiece. Enter cutting knives – the unsung heroes of the kitchen that play a crucial role in every chef's arsenal. From slicing and dicing to chopping and mincing, a good set of cutting knives can elevate your cooking game to new heights. Join us as we explore the world of cutting knives and uncover the secrets to selecting the perfect blade for your kitchen.

The Anatomy of a Cutting Knife

Before we delve into the various types of cutting knives available, let's take a moment to understand the anatomy of these essential tools. A typical cutting knife consists of a blade, handle, and sometimes a bolster or guard. The blade is the most critical component, typically made from high-quality stainless steel or carbon steel for durability and sharpness. The handle, often made from wood, plastic, or metal, provides a comfortable grip and control during use.

Types of Cutting Knives

There are countless types of cutting knives available, each designed for specific tasks and ingredients. Some of the most common types include:

Chef's Knife: This versatile knife is a kitchen workhorse, suitable for a wide range of tasks, including chopping, slicing, and dicing.

Paring Knife: With its small, maneuverable blade, the paring knife is perfect for intricate tasks such as peeling, trimming, and coring fruits and vegetables.

Santoku Knife: Originating from Japan, the santoku knife features a wide blade and granton edge, making it ideal for slicing, dicing, and mincing.

Bread Knife: Equipped with a serrated edge, the bread knife is designed to effortlessly slice through crusty bread without crushing or tearing.

Utility Knife: As the name suggests, the utility knife is a versatile tool suitable for a variety of kitchen tasks, from slicing sandwiches to trimming meat and poultry.

Choosing the Right Cutting Knife

When selecting cutting knives for your kitchen, there are several factors to consider, including blade material, handle design, and intended use. Look for blades made from high-quality steel for durability and sharpness, and ergonomic handles that provide a comfortable grip and control. Additionally, consider the weight and balance of the knife to ensure ease of use and precision during cutting tasks.

Caring for Your Cutting Knives

To ensure the longevity of your cutting knives, proper care and maintenance are essential. Always hand wash your knives with mild soap and warm water, and dry them thoroughly before storing. Avoid placing knives in the dishwasher, as exposure to harsh detergents and heat can damage the blade. Additionally, use a honing steel or sharpening stone regularly to maintain the sharpness of the blade and prevent dulling.

Conclusion: Slice with Confidence

With the right cutting knives in your kitchen arsenal, you'll be well-equipped to tackle any culinary challenge with confidence and precision. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a novice cook, investing in high-quality cutting knives is a worthwhile investment that will pay dividends in the kitchen for years to come. So sharpen those blades, roll up your sleeves, and let the culinary adventures begin!

DEADLY WOMEN DAILY: KATHERINE KNIGHT

Meet Katherine Mary Knight. She was troubled very early in life and was born into a highly dysfunctional family. She endured a lot of sexual abuse and never got proper treatment, and ultimately became extremely violent and suffered severely with her mental health. The murder she commited of her boyfriend John Price was so disturbing, landing her the title for the first woman sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in Australia. Let’s begin with her story.

WHO WAS KATHERINE KNIGHT?

Katherine was born on October 24th, 1955 and was raised in Sydney Australia. Katherine’s mother Barbara Roughan was originally married to a man named Jack Roughan, and they had four sons together before she started having an affair with Ken Knight, who was a friend and fellow co-worker of Jack. Barbara and Jack were very well known in their conservative town, and when people heard of her affair with Ken it started an uproar, forcing Barbara and Ken to move to a different town. Katherine’s two eldest sons continued to live with their father, while the remaining two went off to live with their Aunt. Barbara and Ken ended up having four children together, including twin girls, one of which being Katherine. However, in 1959, Jack ended up passing away and their two eldest sons moved back in with Barbara and Ken.

The Knight home was an extremely toxic and unhealthy environment. Ken was an alcoholic and a very abusive man, who used violence and intimidation on a daily basis, and would even rape Barbara up to ten times a day. Barbara didn’t have a very good support system, and ended up confiding in her children about the rape and abuse their father forced on her. She told her children personal details about her sex life, and how much she despised sex and her hatred for men. Katherine claimed she was being sexually abused by several of her family members until age eleven, although her father was not one of these people. These claims were confirmed by multiple family members, and when Katherine confided in her mother about being forced to do sexual things she didn’t want to do, she was told to “put up with it and stop complaining.”

Katherine attended Muswellbrook high school, where she was known for being a loner and a bully. She assaulted at least one boy at school with a weapon, and even attacked a teacher. She was known for having many fits of rage, but when she was not angry she was a model student. She dropped out of school when she was 15, and became employed as a cutter in a clothing factory. Around a year later she left this job and became employed at a abattoir, where she cut up offal. She was a quick learner and got promoted to boning, and was even given her own personal set of butcher knives. She loved these knives so much, she used them as her main source of protection. Everywhere she lived, she’d hang the knives over the headboard of her bed, so they’d be close by if she ever needed them.  

HER DOMESTIC ABUSE STARTED WITH DAVID KELLETT

Katherine met her first husband David Kellett in 1973 as they were co-workers at the Aberdeen Abattoir. David was an alcoholic due to being involved in two tragic incidents. He witnessed his best friend dying from a shunting accident, and later he tried to save children on a bus after a horrible accident, witnessing 6 children die. This caused him to drink heavily and lose his job, later getting the job at the Aberdeen Abattoir, where he met Katherine and became close friends with her brother. Katherine would often defend David whenever someone tried picking a fight with him, as she was known to be violent, no one ever wanted to mess with her. The two soon fell in love and got married in 1974, arriving at the ceremony on her motorcycle with David completely intoxicated. When they got to the service Katherine’s mother pulled David to the side and offered him important advice. “You better watch this one or she’ll fucking kill you. Stir her up the wrong way or do the wrong thing and you’re fucked, don’t ever think of playing up on her [cheating], she’ll fuckin’ kill you.” David would soon realize her mother was right, as Katherine tried to strangle him in his sleep on their wedding night. She told him she was angry that he fell asleep on her while trying to be intimate three times, most likely due to all the alcohol he drank.

Their marriage quickly became abusive and violent, and when Katherine was pregnant with their first child, she became enraged when he came home late from a darts competition. She burned all of his clothes and hit him so hard on the back of his head that it cracked his skull. He was terrified and was able to muster up the energy to flee and go to his neighbors home where they called the police. The police wanted to press charges, but somehow Katherine was able to talk to David and convince him to drop the charges against her. However, David couldn’t deal with all of the abuse and after their child Melissa Ann was born, he left Katherine for another woman and left for Queensland to be with her. The day after he left, Katherine was witnessed violenting shaking her baby's stroller side to side, and she was admitted into St Elmo’s Hospital and was diagnosed with postnatal depression. She was released a few weeks later, and as soon as she got out she left her two month old baby on the railroad track, where a train was soon to be expected. She then left to get an ax and went into town, threatening to kill multiple people. Thankfully, a homeless man named Old Ted saw the baby on the tracks and saved her before the train came, missing the train by only a few minutes. Katherine was arrested again and taken back to St Elmo’s Hospital, but was able to sign herself back out the next day. Things began to get a lot worse after that. A few days later she ended up cutting a woman’s face and demanded that she drive to Queensland to find David. Thankfully, the woman was able to escape when they stopped at a service station and the police were called. By the time they arrived, Katherine had already taken off with a little boy, taking him hostage. He was threatening the child with a knife, but the police were able to disarm her with broomsticks, and arrested her. She was admitted into the Morisset Psychiatric hospital, where she admitted that she had planned to kill the mechanic at the service station, as he was the man who fixed David's car, which helped him move to Queensland to be with his new girlfriend. She also admitted that he planned on killing David and his mother when she got to Queensland. When David was informed of everything that happened, he decided to leave his girlfriend and move back to Aberdeen with his mother to support Katherine. She was released into the care of her mother-in-law, and the three moved to Ipswich, where she got a new job at Dinmore Meatworks. She and David had another daughter, Natasha Maree, in 1983. However, in 1984, Katherine decided to leave David and moved back in with her mother, and then ended up renting her own home in Muswellbrook. Katherine went back to her old job at the Abattoir, but ended up hurting her back on the job, and was given a disabled pension, and the government gave her a Housing Commission home back in Aberdeen.  

NEW MAN, MORE VIOLENCE

Katherine met David Saunders in 1986, and even though they were only dating for a few months at the time, he moved in with her and her daughters, while still keeping his old apartment. Things of course took a turn for the worst pretty soon after moving in. Katherine became very jealous and worried about what he might be doing when she wasn’t around him. The two would fight consistently, often ending up with Katherine throwing him out. Each time she threw him out, he’d go back to his original apartment, but Katherine would follow him back there and beg him to forgive her and return back home with her. However, her violence got worse, and in 1987, Katherine took Saunders two month old puppy and slit his throat in front of him, as a warning of what she’s capable of if he ever dared to cheat on her. In 1988 Katherine and Saunders had a daughter together, Sarah, and Saunders decided to put a deposit down on a house. Katherine was able to pay off the deposit after her workers compensation check came in 1989. Katherine decorated the house in a way that made Saunders very uncomfortable. She decorated the house with animal skulls, skins, rusty animal traps, horns, old boots, machetes, leather jackets, pitchforks, and rakes. Katherine and Saunders ended up in a heated argument and she hit him in the face with an iron and stabbed him in the abdomen with a pair of scissors. He left Katherine and went back to his old apartment, but when he returned to get his clothes, he found them all destroyed. Fearing for his life, he took a long service leave and went into hiding. However, he missed his baby girl so much, and eventually went back to see her. When he got to the house he found out that Katherine had gone to the police and wrongfully told them that she was afraid of him and accused him of being abusive, and she got an Apprehended Violence Order against him.

NEW MAN, NO DAMAGE?

There’s pretty much no information to give about Katherine’s next relationship with a man named John Chillingworth. He was a former co-worker of hers, back at her original job at the abattoir. They got together in 1997 and Katherine gave birth a year later to a baby boy, who they named Eric. They were together for three years, but Katherine left him for another man who she was having a lengthy affair with. No accounts of abuse or violence have been recorded in her

relationship with Chillingworth.

LAST MAN, KATHERINE’S DOWNFALL

John Charles Thomas Price had three children when he met Katherine. He divorced his ex-wife in 1988, and his youngest daughter lived with her mother, and his other two children stayed with him. John allowed Katherine to move into his home in 1995, and was very aware of her violent past, but he cared about her and his children adored her, and at first things were going well with them, outside of a couple violent arguments. Three years later in 1998, the two got into a heated argument due to his refusal to marry her. Katherine was so angry that she sent video tapes of items that John stole from work and sent it to his boss. The items he stole were out of date medical kits, and he took them from the company's garbage, so they weren’t being used anyway. That didn’t matter though, and they fired him. He kicked her out and she went back to her own home, until John reconciled with her a few months later, starting up their relationship again. However, he refused to move Katherine back in with him, causing a lot of fights. The drama in their relationship became so bad that his own friends didn’t want anything to do with him if he remained in this relationship. They strongly urged him to leave her as they feared for his safety, but he remained with her instead.

THE MURDER

After another assault by Katherine stabbing him in the chest in another heated argument, John had finally reached his limit. He threw Katherine out of his house and went down to the police station to get a restraining order to keep her away from him and his children. That same day he went to work and told his co-workers that if he didn’t return to work the next day, it was because Katherine killed him. His co-workers begged him not to return to the house, but he was afraid that Katherine would kill his children if he didn’t return to them. When he got there Katherine wasn’t home, and the kids were sent to a friend's house for a sleepover. John ended up spending time at his neighbor's house before going back home at 11PM. Earlier that day Katherine decided to go out and buy new lingerie to wear for John when he got home. She also videotaped all of her children while stating certain things in the video that would be seen as a crude will. When she arrived at John’s house he was asleep. She sat on the couch and watched TV for a bit before taking a shower. After her shower she woke up John and they ended up having sex before he fell back asleep.

When the next morning rolled around, the neighbor started to get concerned when he saw John’s car in the driveway when he’d normally be off to work. His manager also became concerned when he didn’t show up and sent out a fellow worker to check on him. When the coworker arrived he tried knocking on the door, but no one answered, and the police were alerted after they found blood on the front door, and the police arrived at 8AM. They broke down the backdoor and they found John’s body, along with Katherine passed out after taking too many pills. Due to the blood evidence, it’s noted that he was stabbed while he was asleep, and tried to turn the light on before attempting to escape while she continued to try and attack him throughout the house. John was able to get to the front door and exit the house, but either collapsed on his way out, or was dragged back inside, and died after bleeding out. She had stabbed him at least 37 times, many of the wounds hitting vital organs. Soon after he died, Katherine went out to the ATM and withdrew $1,000 from John’s account.

After returning home from the ATM Katherine skinned John and hung his skin from a meat hook above the door of the lounge room. Afterwards she decapitated him and cooked multiple parks of his body, cooking the meat with cabbage, yellow squash, zucchini, baked potato, pumpkin, beetroot and gravy. She had set two settings at the dinner table with the names of each of John’s children by each plate. She planned on feeding his meat to his own children. There was also food thrown outside on the lawn, thinking Katherine had tried to eat it herself and couldn’t, so she threw it out of frustration. Katherine had absolutely no memory of the crime that she committed. The police found John’s head in a pot that was filled with vegetables, already had been cooked, and it was estimated that the head was cooked early in the morning as the pot was still a little warm. They found John’s arm draped over an empty bottle of soda, and his legs crossed. Katherine also left a picture of John with a handwritten note on it, along with blood and bits of flesh. The note read: “Time got you back Johnathon for rapping [raping] my dauter [daughter]. You to Beck [John’s daughter] For Ross - For little John [John’s son]. Now play with Little John's dick John Price.” The accusations Katherine made in this note were groundless.

TRIAL AND SENTENCING

Katherine was offered a plea deal to plead guilty manslaughter, but she rejected it. On March 2nd, 2001 she was arraigned for the murder of John Price and she plead not guilty, and her trial was fixed for October 15th, 2001. The photographic evidence was so graphic that the judge allowed the 60 jurors the options of excusing themselves, and 5 of those jurors accepted. Several more jurors also dropped out after hearing the witness list. The trial was adjourned to the next day, and that morning Katherine had changed her not-guilty to plea to guilty, for unknown reasons, and the jury was dismissed. The judge also ordered a psychiatric assessment on Katherine to make sure she was sane enough to understand what pleading guilty to a murder case meant. Multiple psychiatrists had diagnosed her with Borderline Personality Disorder, but said she was sane during the murder and she understood what pleading guilty meant. Katherine’s lawyers wanted to defend her by saying she had amnesia and dissociation, but that defense fell short due to her psychiatric assessment. Even though Katherine plead guilty to murdering John, she still refused to take any responsibility for it, as she didn’t remember committing the crime. Katherine was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on November 8th, 2001. Due to the severity of the murder and Katherine’s lack of remorse, the judge ordered that the papers were to be signed “never to be released.” Katherine Knight was the first woman to ever be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in Australian history. To this day Katherine is still in prison at Tenterfield, New South Wales, at the age of 66.

Knife Maker Supply Australia: Qualities Of A Great Chef's Knife

What makes a good quality chef’s knife? For knife makers in Australia, it is important to know what features to look for. High-end knives make cutting, chopping, and meal preparation easier and safer. This article will explore knife maker supply in Australia. It will also discuss the key qualities that make up a great chef's knife.

What Supplies Do Knife Makers In Australia Need?

Knife-making requires some specialized supplies. Here are some of the main tools and materials knife makers in Australia use:

Steel - Quality steel is essential. Common types used include stainless steel and high-carbon steel which resist corrosion.

Knife blanks - Pre-cut blank blades to shape handles around.

Grinders - To shape and polish blades.

Sharpening tools - To file, grind and sharpen cutting edges.

Handle materials - Various kinds of wood, plastics, natural bone and synthetics to create handles.

Why Care About The Quality Of Your Chef’s Knife?

A good chef's knife makes preparing fresh, healthy meals much more efficient and enjoyable. Superior cutting performance helps keep slicing precise so vegetables, fruits and meats are uniform shapes and sizes for even cooking. This requires sharp, sturdy, balanced knives to quickly chop through ingredients without slipping and risking fingers getting cut.

Great Chef’s Knives Have These Qualities In Common:

Sharp And Sturdy Blade

A quality chef's knife needs a blade that can hold a very fine sharp edge repeatedly yet resist chips and cracks. This means it needs to be made from materials that balance hardness with durability and edge retention.

Comfortable, Non-Slip Grip

The knife handle needs to offer a comfortable, ergonomic grip you can hold securely, even when your hands are wet or greasy from slicing sticky foods. Popular easy-grip handle materials include textured plastics and rubberized coatings.

Well-Balanced And Controlled

A great chef’s knife feels naturally easy to swing, lift and lower. The entire knife is well-balanced between the blade and handle weights. This also lets the knife rock gently against a cutting board for controlled chopping.

Corrosion Resistant

Knife blades must resist rusting and corrosion which can lead to pitting, discoloration and reduced performance. Stainless steel offers corrosion resistance but still requires proper knife care.

talks about how when you speak two languages you feel like you speak NO language because I'm not fluent enough in korean to communicate without weird pauses but also i have an accent in english that i HATE SO MUCH and sometimes i mispronounce words??

I've dont have a home country because i'm australian, born and raised, and yet australia will never fully accept me because of the way I speak my O's and U's and the way my eyes are slanted.

Too foreign to be korean, and yet too korean to be australian. where do i belong? Society casts me out into the grey area and puts up steel bars to keep me out.

My immigrant curse is that I am always destined to be an outcast. I would carve out bloody flesh with rusted knives and rearrange my bones a million times to become one of them, but I'm too much for Korea and their rigid cultural rules, and too rigid for Australia and it's golden freedom.

I mispronouce a word, two words, my whole sentance is wrong to their ears, and they laugh at me, looking at me like I am 2 rather than 18. Like I am below them and their blue-blonde-white grace.

I look at fair skinned women and men. They pronounce everything perfectly. They re-enforce my prison bars, and I stay in my place. my "place". what is my place? what is my place as an immigrant-not-korean-not-australian monstosity? I have no culture because I have no home.

I wish I was white.

FILLET/BONING Sometimes just the right amount of flex in your blade steel makes filleting fish easier. The knife conforms to the ribs of the fish, removing meat from bones quickly and easily. Removing skin from meat is easier, too. It works well for boning and trimming out poultry and other meat as well. A Shun Boning Knife has a narrow, sharp, curved blade which gets in close to the bone, making it easy to separate meat from bone. Even fibrous tissue is no match for Shun's extremely sharp edge. The narrow blade reduces the drag as you cut against the meat, so cutting is fast and easy.

#Obsidian scalpel amazon how to

Currently, they used for ornamental purposes, and as a popular stone, it’s often cut into cabochons and beads. It was used to make scrapers, spear points, arrowheads, and knives among other tools and weapons. Obsidians were broken and polished to create the early mirrors. The Stone Age cultures valued obsidians since they could be fractured to make arrowheads or sharp blades. The first evidence of human beings using obsidian was found in Kariandusi and numerous other Acheulian age sites that date back to 700,000 BCE. Tektites were previously believed to be obsidians formed by the eruption of lunar eruptions. Intrusive creation of obsidians occurs when the lava cools beside the dyke’s edge. It is also formed when lava cools once it comes into contact with air or water. Obsidians forms when the felsic lava cools at the edges of a volcanic dome or felsic lava flow. They can also be located in the eastern US states of North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Obsidian flows that can be hiked are in the Calderas of Lake Medicine Volcano and Newberry Volcano. They can be found in the United States, Turkey, Scotland, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan, Kenya, El Salvador, Canada, Australia, Armenia, and Argentina. Older obsidians are rare since they are altered or destroyed by heat or weathering. Obsidians are found in places that have experienced recent volcanic activities. The presence of water on the earth’s surface hastens the break down process of the obsidian. Obsidians can break down into some fine-grained mineral crystals with time since it is metastable. They are made up of over 70% silicon dioxide. The transition elements can give them brown, green or tan color. Obsidians are black although their color varies depending on the presence of inclusions or trace elements. It is not a true mineral since it’s not a crystalline solid therefore it’s classified as a mineraloid. Obsidians were used to produce piercing and cutting tools during the stone ages. The curved smooth fractures are formed due to the lack of mineral crystal in the obsidian. Obsidians are brittle and hard volcanic glasses which break with distinctive conchoidal fractures. They are found on the obsidian flows where the high quantities of silica induce a high degree of polymerization and viscosity of the lava that inhibits crystal growth. Obsidians are volcanic glasses referred to as mineraloids. They are formed when felsic lava cools quickly with minimum to no crystal growth. Wood from private and public land, including juniper and pine, is harvested locally to construct their furniture.Obsidians are naturally occurring amorphous products of fast cooling magma. Wood handles and all wood used to construct their furniture is obtained close to Prairie City, Oregon. Bone handles are a by-product of the fur industry, and no animal is harmed to obtain them. Dale buys antlers shed annually from local deer and elk which are mostly picked up by ranchers who know the animal''s whereabouts at all times. Most of the high quality obsidian used comes from Central Oregon and Northern California and come in a variety of colors such as mahogany, rainbow, midnight lace, clear green, Burns green, silver sheen and more. Materials needed to produce these knives are obtained locally. It was then that Dale decided to start making artifacts that eventually turned into a full-time job. It was then that Dale began making arrowheads for friends simply as a hobby, but in 1988, while Dale was falling timber in the Seneca, Oregon area, he discovered a lot of obsidian laying around on the ground.

Dale became very interested in the technique and so he asked the other fellow to teach him how to make an arrowhead. In 1963, while Dale Duby was working in the woods as a timber faller, he saw a fellow logger making an arrowhead from a piece of obsidian during their lunch break.

He entered the underworld and after many trials and challenges reached his wife’s father. Fraught with grief and regret at the loss of his wife, Mataoroa decided to follow her. Mataoroa mistreated his new wife, though, and she returned to her father in the underworld. The couple got married and Niwareka departed the underworld to be with Mataoroa on earth. The high significance of tattoos in the Maori culture is probably best proven though the fact that there is a whole legend dedicated to how ta moko came about.Īccording to Maori mythology, there was once a young man, Mataoroa, who fell in love with a princess of the underworld, Niwareka. The practice of traditional ta moko hasn’t died out entirely, though, as there are some reports of some groups still engaging in tattooing using the chisel method. Nowadays, some Maori people continue the tradition of wearing facial tattoos, although these are more often done using modern tattoo guns.

Rather than being smooth like after a modern tattoo, therefore, the skin would be textured, as well as dyed, in accordance with the pattern. Naturally, this process was incredibly painful and was therefore often done in stages, allowing the skin to heal in between ‘sessions’.ĭue to the use of chisels rather than needles, the Maori tattoo method results in grooves in the surface of the skin, where the cuts have healed. Lighter colors were achieved through the use of burnt kauri gum and from caterpillars and other insects. Black pigments were derived from burnt wood. Pigments were mixed with animal fat to achieve a smooth, liquid consistency. The punctures and cuts to the skin were then dyed with a variety of inks crafted from natural materials. Tattooists used both smooth and serrated chisels and blades, depending on the pattern and the effect they were aiming to achieve. The chisels would be struck with a mallet to puncture the skin, and knives would be used to create longer cuts. Rather than using needles, the Maori used chisels and knives, usually made out of shark teeth, sharpened albatross bones, stones, and according to some sources, iron. Traditional Maori tattoos were performed using a different – and much more painful – technique than that we adopt today. Women usually have tattoos on their chin and lips. Either the pattern itself is tattooed, or the design blacks out the background to create a negative-space pattern.Īpart from tattooing the face, men also often wear tattoos on their thighs, arms, and buttocks. These traditional facial tattoos involve the use of curved shapes and spiraling patterns. Since the head is believed to be the most sacred part of the body by the Maori, ta moko was most often done on the face. The traditional Maori tattoo practice is known as ta moko.

The process of a person receiving a tattoo involved a series of rituals – particularly prior to the arrival and interference of Europeans. Tattooing is an integral part of the Maori culture. Still, the Maori and their culture have survived the many changes, and today there around 730,000 Maori people in New Zealand, and over 150,000 elsewhere in the world, primarily in Australia. This resulted in a dramatic fall in the Maori population. Initially the two cultures co-existed peacefully, and the Maori adopted many elements of Western society.Īs is usually the way, though, conflict happened eventually, mostly over land ownership disputes – leading to land confiscations, social upheaval, and a number of epidemics. The Maori’s life in New Zealand changed with the arrival of Europeans in the 17 th century. This means that the mythology, language, practices, and art is distinctly different from those of other Polynesian peoples. The Maori originated from eastern Polynesia and arrived in New Zealand in the first half of the 14 th century, sometime between 13.īecause the Maori have spent their first few centuries in New Zealand in isolation from other Polynesian tribes, their culture has developed independently. The area is often referred to as the Polynesian Triangle – marked on a map by connecting Hawaii, Easter Island, and New Zealand. Polynesia, meanwhile, is the collection of over a thousand islands spread over the central and southern Pacific Ocean. The Maori people are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. In this article, we’re going to take a closer look at Maori tattoos – everything from the significance of body markings for the Maori people to the designs inspired by Maori tattoo art. The complex patterns and meanings behind Maori tattoos have been a source of inspiration for tattoo artists the world over. Like most of the indigenous people of Oceania, the Maori consider tattoos to be an important part of their cultural identity and practice.

Tableware wholesaler australia is simplistic and functional, and aims to add a stylish touch to your living space. Our tableware range is inherently versatile and you have the freedom to create a streamlined set or mix and match colours and textures to showcase your personal style. Tableware is any dish or dishware used for setting a table, serving food, and dining. It includes cutlery, glassware, serving dishes, and other items for practical as well as decorative purposes.[1][2] The quality, nature, variety and number of objects varies according to culture, religion, number of diners, cuisine and occasion. For example, Middle Eastern, Indian or Polynesian food culture and cuisine sometimes limits tableware to serving dishes, using bread or leaves as individual plates. Special occasions are usually reflected in higher quality tableware.[3] Cutlery is more usually known as silverware or flatware in the United States, where cutlery usually means knives and related cutting instruments; elsewhere cutlery includes all the forks, spoons and other silverware items. Outside the US, flatware is a term for "open-shaped" dishware items such as plates, dishes and bowls (as opposed to "closed" shapes like jugs and vases). Dinnerware is another term used to refer to tableware and crockery refers to ceramic tableware, today often porcelain or bone china.[4] Sets of dishes are referred to as a table service, dinner service or service set. Table settings or place settings are the dishes, cutlery and glassware used for formal and informal dining. In Ireland, such items are normally referred to as delph, the word being an English language phonetic spelling of the word Delft, the town from which so much delftware came. Silver service or butler service are methods for a butler or waiter to serve a meal. Setting the table refers to arranging the tableware, including individual place settings for each diner at the table as well as decorating the table itself in a manner suitable for the occasion. Tableware and table decoration is typically more elaborate for special occasions. Unusual dining locations demand tableware be adapted.

30 years ago, some of us were born.  Some of us were children.  All of us at least have someone - parents, teachers, or friends - who were alive 30 years ago, who can tell you directly what things were like in the early 90s.  A lot of iconic movies and music were released 30 years ago that are considered fundamental pieces of pop culture now.  30 years ago, the world was not very different at all from how it is now, and neither were people.

300 years ago, snarky teen Benjamin Franklin published anonymous advice and satire letters in the newspaper. The Mapuche rose against the Spanish in Chile for the fifth time in an attempt to take back political control of their people and land, and Popé led the Pueblos in their revolt against the Spanish which drove them out of the Rio Grande region. (The American Revolution was still 50 years away.) Vivaldi and Bach composed concertos, bookmakers in China meticulously printed five-thousand-volume comprehensive encyclopedias of history and culture, and the British signed treaties with the Wabenaki Confederacy and the Mohawk Nation. Isaac Newton described an exciting new theory of physics and a ton of pirates roamed, like, every coast. Jonathan Swift wrote biting, bitter satire of the British colonization of Ireland, and West Africans were captured and brought to the Americas as slaves. The first major public vaccination campaign was held in Boston, which a lot of people were suspicious of and resisted very strongly.

3,000 years ago, Central American farmers had long established maize corn from teosinte and tended fields of corn, selectively breeding it to adapt it to regional climates; farmers in Japan began to cultivate rice.  David became king of Israel, and Pharaohs postured with political propaganda.  The rulers of Egypt and Kush alternately traded and showed off their riches with each other or struggled for power over the lands of the Nile.  People of the Middle East and the Mediterranean wrote prayers to their gods, letters to their siblings, and complaints to their copper merchants on clay tablets.  Chinese poets compiled books of poetry.  The Olmec people in Mexico played ballgames.  One unlucky wood merchant in the Levant sent letters home to Egypt complaining of his Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Trip.

30,000 years ago, people in Eastern Europe painted breathtaking scenes of animals and hunting on the walls of caves by firelight; across the world, people in Indonesia did the same.  Hunters chipped spear-points and knives out of stone; cooks ground stone into food-processing tools.  People sailed or paddled boats across the strait from Asia to Australia, and navigated boats across the open ocean to the Solomon Islands.  In Australia and Southeast Asia, fishermen went out to sea on boats to catch sharks and tuna.  South African hunters developed bow and arrow technology, with arrowheads made of carved bone and tipped with poison to take down big game in a series of technological innovations.  In Germany, someone carved an imaginary image of a lion-headed human; in Eastern Europe, figures of women were sculpted from clay.  Hunter-gatherers on the Russian steppes buried important dead bedecked with strings of jewelry.

Humans have been anatomically modern - with the same bones, the same teeth, the same brains as you and me - for 300,000 years.  They had the same intellectual capacity then, felt as deeply and thought as well, wondered as much about the world and had opinions about things and personal preferences and different skills, as any of us.

What was life like for them?

@spideypotpie and I have been cultivating our Dad!Kabal universe.

--

Erron and Kano are adoptive uncles. At family barbecues, Kano is bringing the kids strange gifts and even stranger stories from Australia.

"Kano, you can't give the kids bowie knives-" "Why not? That's real bone in the handle, mate. One of a kind!" "That's not the point!" "Fine, next time I'll bring 'em a pet spider-" "Kano, NO!"

He lights the grill with his laser eye. The kids make him say "Shrimp on the barbie" and he does it, begrudgingly.

--

Erron teaches the kids how to lasso and hogtie. The family dog cowers under the picnic table.

"Alright, the dog's wised up-" Erron glances around, eyes full of mischief, "But, I think your daddy might be pretty oblivious." The twins glance at each other, then at their uncle, grins growing wide on their faces. The boys take off, lassos clutched in their hands, and make a beeline for where Kabal sits. "Remember! Hogtie when you get 'im so he can't get loose!"

"God DAMN IT, ERRON!" "Kabal, LANGUAGE!"
