Sinew

Law, defense, and security and intelligence portfolios are the muscle and sinew of big government and underpin the incipient tyranny we’ve experienced for four long years.

We should probably talk about Kara Young and how this woman can fit what feels like a mountain of blood, heart, sinew and febrile emotional response into a frame that can’t stretch past five feet.

County Championship cricket returned for a one-off August special, and strained every sinew to grab a little attention from Lord’s.

The Japanese strained every sinew to stay in the rallies and managed to draw parity at 15-15 with a smash.

This dynamism was reflected back across the concert platform, every muscle, tendon, sinew and synapsis of the assembled musicians spurred into action by their shared purpose.

These are dynamic works of great boldness and intensity, and taken together they constitute a sustained and profoundly sensuous interrogation of the flesh, of carnality – of blood, skin and sinew.

Composite bows are made from layers of different material, often wood, horn, and sinew glued together and bound with animal tendon.

However, Robert Connolly, a lecturer in physical anthropology, suggests that the sinew may have been ornamental and that ligature marks may have been caused by the body swelling when submerged.

More accurately, it is scraped so as not to let even the slightest of the sinew fat get into the scraped meat.

Multiple bow systems have a special system of pulling the sinew via several bows (which can be recurve bows).

Sinew was used for bowstrings and sewing thread.

Snowshoes are made by lashing reindeer sinew and hide strips to a tennis racket -shaped birch bark or willow hoop.

The arbalest was a heavy crossbow which required special systems for pulling the sinew via windlasses.

The ligature marks on the neck were caused by the tightening of the sinew cord found around his neck, possibly a garrotte or necklace.

The rain prevented them from using their bows because the sinew strings become slack when wet, and rendered them virtually defenseless and their shields also became waterlogged and heavy.

These stone heads could be fixed to the spear shaft by gum or resin or by bindings made of animal sinew, leather strips or vegetable matter.

The slider passed through the field frames of the weapon, in which were located the torsion springs (rope made of animal sinew ), which were twisted around the bow arms, which in turn, were attached to the bowstring.

The weapon uses several different bows instead of one bow with a tackle system to achieve a higher acceleration of the sinew via the multiplication with each bow's pulling effect.

They are attached near the nock (rear) end of the arrow with thin double sided tape, glue, or, traditionally, sinew.
