In 1844 a swimming competition was held in London with the participation of two Native Americans. The British competitor used the traditional breaststroke, while the Native Americans swam a variant of the front crawl, which had been used by people in the Americas for generations, but was not known to the British. The winning medal went to 'Flying Gull' who swam the 130 foot length in just 30 seconds - the Native American swimming method proved to be a much faster style than the British breaststroke. The Times of London reported disapprovingly that the Native American stroke was an unrefined motion with the arms "like a windmill" and the chaotic and unregulated kicking of the legs. The considerable splashing that the stroke caused was deemed to be barbaric and "un-European" to the British gentlemen, who preferred to keep their heads over the water. Subsequently, the British continued to swim only breaststroke until 1873. Thanks to Wikkipedia

Bento— the word Bento originated in the Southern Song Synaste and was a slang term for “convenient” or “convenience”. The origin of bento can be traced back to late Kamakura Period (1185 to 1333). Since the 1880’s, students and teachers in Japan have taken their lunches in bentos when schools did not provide lunch.

According to singer Celia Crus, salsa is just a different way of naming Cuban music. It is the mambo, the chachacha, the son… all Cuban rhythms combined under an only name. But salsa in itself was born in New York toward the end of the 60’s, created by musicians of the poor Latin neighborhoods. When it transcended Latin audiences, the word was imposed as a generic term to refer to the whole group of Latin music styles, from the boogaloo to the mambo, right through to the old son and including Latin house. Cubans rejected this term for a considerable period of time, but they did eventually accept it. One thing that should not be forgotten is that when talking of Salsa or one of the many musical styles of Afro-Caribbean origins one is talking of rhythms that were all made to dance to.
