Paul Hodkinson
Paul Hodkinson (born 14 September 1965 in Kirkby, Liverpool, England) is a former professional boxer. Hodkinson fought at Featherweight and is the former British, European and World (WBC) Featherweight Title holder. Amateur career Paul Hodkinson first caught the eye as an amateur bantamweight in the 1984-85 season with a series of good displays for young England and later for the full international side; but John Davidson a hard hitting and mature Northerner proved a little too rugged for him and Hodkinson’s ABA title campaign came to an abrupt finish in the first round.

The Penghou (, pronounced ʰə̌ŋ.xǒʊ literally: "drumbeat marquis") is a tree spirit from Chinese mythology and folklore. Two Chinese classics record similar versions of the Penghou myth. The (c. 3rd century) ''Baize tu'' (白澤圖, "Diagrams of the White Marsh"), named after the Baize "White Marsh" spirit recorded in the '' Baopuzi'', is no longer fully extant, but is identified with a Dunhuang manuscript (P2682). It describes the Penghou: A creature that has evolved from the essence of wood is called Penghou. It looks like a black dog with no tail and its meat can be prepared as food. The essence of a 1,000-year-old tree may evolve into a spirit called Jiafei. It looks like a pig. Its meat tastes like dog meat. (tr. Luo 2003: 4132) The (c. 4th century) ''Soushenji'' (搜神記, "In Search of the Supernatural") has a story about "The Penghou in the Camphor Tree": During the Wu Kingdom (Three Kingdoms Period, 220–280) Jing Shu felled a big camphor tree.

Hoko Yari
''Hoko yari'' is an ancient form of Japanese spear or ''yari'' said to be based on a Chinese spear. The hoko yari came into use sometime between the Yayoi period and the Heian period, possibly during the Nara period in the 8th century AD. Appearance and use The ''hoko yari'' was thought to be a guard's spear used in the defense of palisades and gates. One source describes ''hoko yari'' as being mounted on a two meter pole and with an 20 cm blade, either in a leaf shape or with a wavy edge similar to the Malay ''kris''. Like the later-period ''fukuro yari'', the metal blade had a hollow socket for the pole to fit into, rather than a long tang. ''Hoko yari'' could also have a sickle-shaped horn projecting out and slightly forward on one or both sides of the blade, indicating that this weapon was primarily used to thrust back an enemy.
