		Shigin has worked as assistant observatory director for about a year.

		Also included this year was a magnificent demonstration of Kenbu (traditional Japanese dance with sword and fan) by Endo Sensei and an introduction to a Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu Shigin (Chinese Poetry Recitation) piece by Fuku Soke entitled “Tamiya Ryu Heiho”.
		Another very important aspect of their visit was the chance to spend time interacting with the Deshi, both during the training sessions that were scheduled for the various levels of proficiency and socially at the annual BBQ Party held after the Shinsa.

	Russian nuclear submarine Kursk disaster
		Moore said the explosions that doomed the Kursk were most likely caused by the use of hydrogen peroxide as a torpedo propellant -- a chemical so volatile that Britain's Royal Navy banned its use decades earlier.
		Moore believes the chance of rescuing the trapped sailors was minimized by the Russians waiting so long to accept help.
		Had the Russian government immediately availed itself of all rescue resources, including offers from The West, there does seem to be a chance that some or all of the men in the 9th compartment might have been saved.
