臨 兵 闘 者 皆 陣 列 在 前

Posted on By admin

Following my recent romp through ninja-themed memory lane, I give you this iconic scene from Enter the Ninja, the 1981 Golan/Globus action film that is often credited with starting the “Ninja Movie” craze of the 1980s.

The essence of the meaning of the ku-ji can be roughly translated as,

Taoist: “May all those who preside over warriors be my vanguard.”
Japanese: “Come warriors, fight as one, ready in formation, line up and take position in front. Destroy/victory!”

Rin (臨), Pyō (兵), Tō (闘), Sha (者), Kai (皆), Jin (陣), Retsu (列), Zai (在), Zen (前)

It’s hard to imagine anything more Canadian — or more adorable — than a photo of a Mountie cuddling a baby beaver. Sure enough, it happened recently at Regina’s Salthaven West wildlife rehabilitation centre. The centre helps injured and abandoned birds and wild animals, and in May received four beaver kits whose mother had been killed near Fort Qu’Appelle.

Jason Pinder, who has volunteered his time with Salthaven for the past five years, works a day job as an RCMP corporal. When he stopped by the centre a few days ago wearing his red serge uniform, staff couldn’t resist getting a shot with him and one of the furry critters. The result: an iconic shot for the ages that delighted Salthaven’s Facebook followers.

The only thing missing is a hockey stick and a Tim Horton’s double-double.
