THE PAMA JOURNAL

Don’t be afraid to take a big step if one is

indicated. You can’t cross a chasm in two

jumps.

David Lloyd George

Indomitable spirit is that part of a person which

makes them unique, that part of a person which

provides hope, strength and courage to get up

and face each day with a smile. Indomitable

spirit is perseverance on a long term basis.

The word indomitable means "unconquerable,"

or impossible to defeat or frighten. The "spirit"

is the person's core being, their will power,

cheerful & positive attitude, and desire to

succeed. Having an "indomitable spirit" means

that your fortitude, enthusiasm, and moral

character are never diminished regardless of

the hardships and adversities you face. Your

determination to prevail is never vanquished,

even in the face of what appears to be

insurmountable odds, or seemingly

overwhelming opponents.

This concept is reflected in the following

popular saying:

"It is not so much

the size of the dog

in the fight, as the

size of the fight in

the dog."

Denver Colorado 2-Day Systema Seminar with

Andrey Patenko

Saturday, August 29 at 11:00 am

United Martial Arts Fitness Center

123 W. Hampden Ave. Unit J Englewood

From Wikipedia Systema (Система, literally meaning The System) is a Russian

martial art.Training includes, but is not limited to: hand-to-hand

combat, grappling, knife fighting, and firearms training.

Training involves drills and sparring without set kata. In

Systema, the body has to be free of tensions, filled with

endurance, flexibility, effortless movement, and explosive

potential; the "spirit" or psychological state has to be calm, free

of anger, irritation, fear, self-pity, delusion, and pride. It focuses

on breathing, relaxation, and fluidity of movement, as well as

utilizing an attacker's momentum against him and controlling

the six body levers (elbows, neck, knees, waist, ankles, and

shoulders) through pressure point application, striking, and

weapon applications. As a discipline, it is becoming more and

more popular among police and security forces and it is taught

by several practitioners inside and outside of Russia.

GOOD STUFF

1001 Ways to Confidence

When you feel insecure, ask yourself the following questions: What have I learned from my life experiences? What are my strong points as a person? What talents do I

have? What skills have I

developed? What do I enjoy

doing? Then ask yourself how you can build on these positive elements.

Sister School

지금 Word of the Month 오늘

Jonglee means LINE UP.

Every word in Korean starts with a consonant

and has a vowel; however, the location of the vowel can change in relation to the first

consonant depending on which vowel is

used. For example; "ㅇ" is a consonant which

is silent and has no voiced sound in the initial

position and "ㅣ" is a vowel which sounds like

the i in machine. Because the long axis of the

vowel "ㅣ" is up and down it is placed on the

right side of the consonant like this "이" so

this syllable sounds like ee as in Lee, the first

letter is silent and the second letter sounds like

the i in machine. Other vowels like "ㅡ", which sounds like the oo in good have a long

axis that runs from side to side; therefore, they are placed underneath the initial consonant like

this "으" so this syllable will sound like the oo

from good.

Each month we will focus on a new word and give you a little

insight into the Korean language.

The words on either side of the

heading are ‘Now” and ‘today’.

Look for a seminar being held at PAMA August 22 at 9:30 AM by this company! We should all be

informed about what we are putting on our fork!

14 Household Uses for

Coconut Oil By Victoria Pitcher

Discover the versatile properties of this

tropical wonder fruit.

Coconut can combat influenza viruses, fight

bacteria that cause cavities, expel lice,

improve digestion, reduce inflammation…the list goes on. Hailed as the “tree of life,” coconut’s health benefits are

many, but it is coconut oil that stars in many practical

uses. From a stain remover for fabrics to a preshave balm,

try these 14 handy household uses for coconut oil.

Coconut Oil Uses

1. Chef’s Secret: You can up the health ante of many

dishes by replacing vegetable oil with coconut oil. Use it

in stir-fries, brownie recipes, pie crusts or even fry with it.

2. Hair Helper: For a rich hair treatment, combine 2

tablespoons each melted coconut oil and raw honey with 1 large egg yolk. Whisk together and apply to dry hair,

covering completely. Let sit as long as you can. (To kill

time, queue up a movie or tackle a closet cleanout

project.) Rinse with warm water when ready.

3. Coconut Kiss: To make a soothing lip balm, melt 4 tablespoons grated beeswax and 2 tablespoons coconut oil

in a glass bowl over simmering water, stirring frequently.

Once melted, remove container from heat and add 5 to 10

drops of an essential oil of your choice. Pour into a tin and

apply to lips once cool and solidified.

4. Well-Seasoned: To season a cast-iron pan, coat liberally with coconut oil. Put the pan in a cool oven and

turn it to 300 degrees. Leave in oven for 30 minutes after

it reaches set temperature. Let pan cool in oven after

turning it off.

5. Face Freshener: Wash

your face with oil—yes, really! Coconut oil works

wonders on the skin and

can help draw out dirt, oil and other toxins. To use,

mix 2 teaspoons coconut

oil with 1 teaspoon castor oil (use more coconut oil

for dry skin; less for oily

skin). Massage into skin

and apply in a warm, wet washcloth to your face until it cools. Wipe away and

repeat if necessary.

6. Odor Eliminator: For an easy-to-make homemade deodorant, mix 1⁄4 cup baking soda with 1⁄4 cup

cornstarch. Add 6 tablespoons coconut oil and mix in

with a fork. Store deodorant in a small glass jar.

7. Stain Remover: Mix one part coconut oil with one

part baking soda for a natural stain remover for

upholstery and carpets. Apply to stain and let sit for a

few minutes before wiping away.

8. Coconut Cream: For a simple, nourishing whipped

body lotion, put 1 cup of solid

coconut oil and a few drops of an essential oil of your choice

into a mixing bowl. Mix on

high until soft and feathery.

Store in a container with a tight

-fitting lid.

9. Furniture Polish: To make wood furniture really shine,

combine 1⁄4 cup melted

coconut oil, 4 tablespoons distilled white vinegar and 2 teaspoons lemon juice in a

reusable spray bottle and shake well. To use, spray on

wood furniture and wipe away with a clean cloth.

10. Insect Repellent: Naturally repel insects with a

mixture of 8 ounces coconut oil and 40 to 50 drops

peppermint essential oil. Apply to skin and enjoy pest-

free outdoor living.

11. Smile Brightener: For cleaner, whiter teeth, try oil pulling. Swish coconut oil around in your mouth for 15

to 20 minutes, four or five times a week. Spit out the oil

into a trash can (do not swallow or flush oil down the

drain) and rinse with water.

12. Smooth Shave: For silky smooth legs, simply rub

coconut oil on skin before shaving. You can also use it

after shaving for extra protection.

13. DIY Dentifrice: Making your own toothpaste is incredibly easy and better for you than store-bought

versions. Mix 6 tablespoons coconut oil, 6 tablespoons

baking soda and 25 drops peppermint essential oil (look

for 100 percent pure peppermint oil). Store in a glass

container with a lid.

14. Gum Grabber: Coconut oil works just as effectively as peanut butter in removing chewing gum

from hair. Apply oil to gum and let sit for a couple of

minutes before removing it.

LOOKING FOR THE CALENDAR?

This isn’t it. Well, it is, but it isn’t the

one I bet you were

looking for.

Exciting news! The

new website is up

and running and the calendar there is so

much more

accurate (that’s where I always got

my data anyway),

and the website is so much easier to navigate now. So if

you haven’t taken the leap yet, go check it out.

You’ll find class schedules, curriculum helps, instructor

bios, as well as the “Golden Schedule” as Master Luft calls it. If it’s on there, it’s right. Or he’ll see that it gets

fixed. So go to the website, check it out and let us know

what you think.

Now, what should we do with this extra page we have?

For now I can put some of my cool stuff I find when I’m

supposed to be writing, but really I’m wandering around

the internet.

I can post cool Dr. Seuss sayings—hey did you hear they

found another book he’d started before he died? It’ll be

out in a little bit. “What Pet Should I Get?” (I think.)

What would YOU like to see on this ‘found’ page? If I

don’t get any ideas, I just may reinstate my column of

aimless wanderings. No one would want that on a

regular basis.
