This paper aims to understand the science of meditation practice that hidden in Shaolin Kung Fu. The Theravāda insight meditation method named "Body posture practice" (iriyāpatha Satipaṭṭhāna) is closely related to what's in the Kung Fu implemented by Shaolin monastery. The history of Shaolin Temple spans for fifteen hundred years from the Buddhabhadra, the first abbot to the present. The unique identity is the Shaolin Kung Fu, the martial arts with bare hands originated from the application of the natural environment to the unique style of Prānic fighting obtained from practicing of insight meditation. The science of meditation practice that has been imprinted into the DNA of this legendary temple is still standing to be proved in all ages.

This article summarizes the life of Robert Brown and through him a history of the rank-and-file Civil Rights Movement in Greene County, Alabama. He was one of many local activists who helped further the economic and educational advances which were made in Greene County, Alabama during the 1970s when for the first time since Reconstruction and after a unique battle even for southern politics, the black worker majority took over an Alabama governmental body. In focusing on a rank-and-filer and his economic achievements, this essay supplements the scholarly literature that often narrowly emphasizes the role of the national leaders and civil rights as being simply about race. The order of presentation will be first to summarize Greene County’s accomplishment in the 1970s and Brown’s contribution. Then the factors that influenced his activism will be outlined, including his 1930s New Deal youth, his 1940s World War II soldering and his 1960s civil rights activism. The sources for this article are a series of video and oral interviews with Brown, his family, and colleagues, which is supplemented with secondary literature, as well as the authors own memories. We were student-teachers under his supervision in the 1960s and participated in the events.

In this letter we discuss entanglement properties of neutral kaons systems and their use for testing local realism. In particular we show that, as previous proposals, also a scheme recently suggested for performing a test of hidden variable theories against standard quantum mechanics cannot be conclusive.
