Sijs.
La doctrina básica del sijismo consiste en la creencia en un único dios y en las enseñanzas de los diez gurús del sijismo, recogidas en el libro sagrado de los sijes, el Gurú Granth Sahib. El sijismo combina el monoteísmo estricto (de origen musulmán) con tradiciones hindúes.
El número de sijes en el mundo se estima en unos 23 millones, lo cual hace del sijismo la quinta religión mundial. Unos 19 millones viven en India, y la mayor parte de éstos, en el estado de Panyab. La región de Panyab incluye también una parte de Pakistán, pero la mayor parte de los sijes que vivían en el territorio actual de Pakistán emigraron a India tras la partición de la India británica en 1947 para evitar las persecuciones religiosas. Existen numerosas comunidades sijes en el Reino Unido, en Estados Unidos y en Canadá. También son una minoría importante en Malasia y Singapur.
La forma literaria de la lengua panyabí, escrita en alfabeto gurmukhi, está muy ligada a la religión sij. De hecho, los hablantes de panyabí hindúes o musulmanes utilizan por lo general el hindi y el urdu, respectivamente, como lenguas escritas. Son principalmente los sijes quienes escriben en panyabí.
Tras las elecciones indias de 2004, el Dr. Manmohan Singh se ha convertido en el primer sij que ocupa el puesto de primer ministro de la India. Es también el segundo no hindú en ocupar el cargo (después de la católica Sonia Gandhi). (Sonia Gandhi fue elegida como primera ministra de la India pero no asumió el cargo, dejando y eligiendo para ese propósito al Dr. Manmohan Singh.)

My commute is 10 miles over flat ground with a 1-stop BART ride under the Bay.
Things I liked about commuting with our Mundo:
- 1-speed. Nothing to do but get on and pedal.
- Not slow once you're cruising. The bike has a lot of momentum on flat ground.
- I can get out of the saddle and pedal even with a heavy load. (Heavy load not pictured.)
- Cheerful, trusty bike, wants to be ridden.
- Upright position, comfortable seat. Good visibility in traffic.
Things I didn't like about commuting with the Mundo:
- I haven't installed a kickstand yet because our Hebie kickstands are sold out, so it fell over right after I took this picture.
- Accelerating from a stop was slower due to the bike's weight and not having a low gear
- lifting the rear end into position in the BART car, I also noticed the weight.
- Takes me longer to load small things when compared to the Xtracycle -- messenger bag, lunch, and tube containing Rock the Bike banners -- due to its chassis style.
A una hora en auto de las Montañas Azules o Blue Mountains se puede llegar a las Cuevas Jenolan donde uno se encuentra con un mundo completamente extraño, casi alienígena pero al mismo tiempo maravilloso. Las diferentes formaciones de los minerales que existe ahí hacen que, las casi 3 horas que dura el paseo, sean completamente imperceptibles y valga la pena hacerlo. Muy recomendable. Jenolan Caves, New South Wales, Australia.

During the entire colonial period, formal European clothing had to be donned for any important occasion, even if one was literally melting inside one’s woolen suit under the hot tropical weather. What was important, then as now, was to look as distinguished and as rich as possible. After the occasion, the woolen clothes had to be put in storage. Wool, however, attracted moths that bore holes into the cloth and left a moth-eaten fabric. The only way to drive the moths away was to keep the clothes in chests or cabinets made of cedar, whose fragrance moths abhorred. It was fortunate that kalantas, (Toona calantas. Merr. & Rolfe) or Philippine cedar abounded in the islands’ forests. Its reddish hardwood was ideal for paneling, shipbuilding and carving. Though soft and easy to carve when newly cut, it dried up easily and hardened, thereby requiring carving tools to be constantly sharpened when working with the wood.
This kalantas chest, called a baul mundo because it was used for traveling, was carved to imitate cordovan leather. The latter was made from a fibrous flat muscle beneath the hide on the rump of a horse and derived its name from the city of Cordoba in Andalucia, Spain, where it was prepared by the Moors. Cordovan aka shell cordovan was a very strong leather that took a high shine, needed very little waxing or polishing, and lasted for decades, even centuries. Thus, stamped, carved, gilded and dyed with colors, equine leather was the favorite material used for chests in 17th century Spain.
Since the horse was not indigenous to the Philippines and had to be imported from China, horse leather was not available locally. The artisans of the Parian turned to using kalantas, but carved it so as to imitate stamped and carved Cordovan leather. The designs closely followed Moorish patterns and were poly-chromed and gilded to give a very rich effect. To protect the contents, which were very valuable as woolen cloth had to be imported from Spain or Mexico, a sturdy hand-forged wrought-iron lock was put on the chest. The baulmundo of kalantas always had a domed top and all its surfaces were profusely carved with scrolls and arabesques in the Moorish Style with a touch of the local okir designs. The artisans who used the leather chests as models even included the straps when copying the piece.
This particular chest, though not overly large, is probably the most beautiful that has ever come into the market. It has a central front panel carved with a pair of crowned lions rampant on either side of a stylized tree consisting of symmetrical scrolled branches terminating in stylized flowers. The lions, representing Spain, particularly the province of Leon, are carved in the shape of keilins, mythical Chinese beasts. This is an indication that the carver, who had never seen a live lion, relied on his repertory of Chinese beasts that he was familiar with. The top of the chest is carved at the center with a rondel decorated with a crowned double-headed eagle, the crest of Hapsburg Dynasty who ruled Spain until 1700, when the Bourbons ascended the throne. The Augustinian Order in the Philippines, by Royal Decree, was allowed to use the crowned eagle as an insignia for being the first missionaries in the Islands. The presence of both these emblems on this chest attests to its having been the personal possession of a high official in the colonial government or the prior of the Augustinian Order.
The four vertical strips running from the front, over the lid and to the back of the chest, are all carved with a continuous design of scrollwork edged with a scalloped border. Between these vertical strips, running from the bottom to the middle of the top of the lid are carved meandering scrolls with flowers resembling stylized chrysanthemums. From the top of the chest, a mirror image of the design is carved towards the bottom at the rear of the chest.
The sides of the baul are carved with a stylized tree of life with the same types of scrolls and flowers found in the rest of the chest. The chest has a strap riveted to the lid with a hinged flap that falls over the circular keyhole shield in front of the baul to be locked into place. The latter is ornamented with a pierced scalloped border and attached to the chest by nails with decorated heads. Three hinged straps are nailed to the back and lid of the chest. These straps, all of wrought-iron, are engraved with a design of linear scrollwork. Cantoneras or corner guards are nailed to the corners to strengthen them and prevent the sides from falling off. There is a pair on each of the four corners of the body of the chest itself, one on each corner of the lid and another connecting each side panel to the top of the lid. All these corner metalwork are of wrought-iron pierced with a strapwork design at the ends and ornamented with a stippled border.
Heavy wrought-iron handles on each side are attached by rings to bosses decorated with radiating lines. The baul was always painted in primary colors, often embellished with gilding. Unfortunately, the high humidity of the tropics flaked away the gesso that was the base of the original polychrome and gilding on the chest’s surfaces. When the mania for collecting antiques began in the late 1960s, whatever polychrome and gesso that remained on the chest was stripped away and the bare wood varnished to give it a shine. How unlike the beautiful colorful ones, with their original, primary colors of polychrome and gilding, still extant in Mexico today!
