Because not every athlete is alike, I don't believe that there is one perfect diet out there that can be applied to every athlete. Sure, there are general guidelines that will encourage performance gains and weight loss/maintenance, but we all have different needs based on our training routine, body composition goals and lifestyle requirements. Because of that, we need to recognize our individual strengths and weakness when it comes to the diet and how we view the fuel that we put in our body.
In my latest issue of SCAN Pulse (Sports Cardiovascular, and Wellness Nutrition) from the ADA (Spring 2011, vol 30, no 2), the cover article featured Protein and exercise. As I have been mentioning in previous posts, there is an abundance of research dedicated to protein in the diet of athletes and that research is ongoing and somewhat inconclusive. Just like all research, there will always be new guidelines and new suggestions as researchers try to prove/disprove previous theories and hypotheses.
There was so much valuable information in this article that I just can't sum it up in one blog. I wanted to post a section that is of "hot-topic" with athletes, especially when it comes to discussions of how much protein to consume following exercise.
The appropriate amount of protein to consume following exercise is another important factor. Many espouse the old approach, "if a little is good for you, then a lot must be much better." Practitioners often recommend large doses of protein to stimulate the greatest muscle hypertrophy, but recent findings suggest there is a limit to the amount of protein that will effectively increase the anabolic response. Canadian researchers recently demonstrated that the response of MPS (Muscle Protein Synthesis) to increasing doses of protein following resistance exercise plateaus (Moore, Am J Clin Nutri, 2008). The response increased incrementally up to 20g, but no difference occurred in the response between 20g to 40g. Moreover, amino acid oxidation increased at the higher doses, suggesting that the excess protein was merely broken down and oxidized for energy. Thus based on this study, there is no reason to recommend ingestion of very large amount of protein (ex. >50g) following exercise.
Another situation in which nutrition may play a key role for athletes is with overreaching and overtraining. Many athletes find themselves in a situation where they have trained too hard and/or too long and their ability to train and perform declines. Studies suggest that increased carb intake may help ameliorate the symptoms of overtraining, but until recently no one had investigated the impact of a high protein intake (Witard, Med Sci Sports Exerc, 2010). Well-trained male cyclists dramatically increased their volume and intensity 1 week on two separate occasions (A protocol that typically results in a 10% decline in time trial performance). In one trial the cyclists consumed their habitual protein level (1.5g protein/kg body mass/d): in the other trial, the amount of protein consumed was doubled. Carbohydrate intake was clamped at 6g carb/kg body mass/d in both trials and the trials were isoenergetic. Decrements in performance, mood state and functional capacity of the immune system resulted in both trials. However, these declines were ameliorated during the high protein trial compared with the control. These data offer support for the concept that a higher protein intake may help attenuate the negative consequences of overreaching and overtraining.

Through the cooperation, the organisation gains access to an extra resource — the thesis worker — who has access to the latest knowledge in the field.
Through this worker, the company can also develop its relationship with the university and utilise their expertise in its operations. These are the thesis worker, the thesis supervisor and the thesis adviser. Often it is highly preferable that the thesis worker, supervisor and adviser meet together so that all participants have a common overview and objective for the project.
The thesis supervisor is an academic expert who both helps the worker to find appropriate theoretical material for the subject and provides support in both the writing of the thesis and the thesis process in general.
The task of the adviser or advisory group is to supervise and advise continually and define the thesis objectives. The role also includes responsibility for any guidance relating to the project and the company. The thesis adviser may also be a university researcher, postgraduate student or university teacher whose research area relates to the thesis.
The use of several advisers is preferable in situations where a single adviser will not be able to provide what is needed to fulfil the requirements of both the company and the university. The goal for the worker is to deepen their knowledge of both the central theories within their field of study and also procedures for researching, problem-solving and planning.
One particular goal of the thesis is that the thesis worker learns to independently, systematically and effectively carry out a research project. Although it involves work that is carried out independently, the interaction between the worker, supervisor and adviser is nevertheless an essential part of a successful learning process.
This should not, however, inhibit or reduce the provision of guidance. Contact with the thesis supervisor is generally most intensive at the beginning and end of the research process. Practical matters One should discuss the thesis subject, content and timetable with the supervisor before making a subject application. Small elaborations can be made to the subject after it has been confirmed, but if fundamental changes are made, the subject must be submitted again.
Decide on a topic or area of research first, then put it in the form of a question or questions. A clear focus saves you much time in your research and results in a tighter and more coherent paper.
Keep your thesis proposal short and flexible. Most graduate programs ask students to write a thesis proposal.
This is a very short description of your research project with 5 to 10 literature sources used to put your research question into a theoretical context. Proposals usually have to be preapproved by a graduate committee and the department of graduate studies at your school before you begin.
Your initial proposal is a flexible guideline of your intended research project. It is common for the final product to look somewhat different from the proposal. Figure This form can be downloaded at my website, www. Topic or Problem What are you interested in? What problem do you see in your school or classroom? What do you want to investigate? Your topic should not describe what you wish to find; rather, it should simply indicate an area of interest to you. Meeting the needs of gifted elementary readers in a general education setting.
Question Put your topic in the form of one to three questions.
The question or questions are used to help guide your search for data or articles. Do not start with the answer as this will make your research much more difficult. Methodology Briefly describe your initial plan for collecting data. For a qualitative study you should use at least two sources.
This should be considered a flexible plan at this point. Sources You will need a minimum of 15 sources for the literature review. These sources could be journal articles or chapters in academic textbooks. For the purpose of the proposal, you will need to see whether there is enough written on your proposed topic.
Therefore, list at least eight possible journal articles or book chapters that may be of use to you use correct APA form here.
One Empirical Study For your proposal, find one empirical study related to your topic. Empirical means that it uses data or systematic observation. In the proposal, use one or two sentences to describe each of the following: Subjects or participants: Treatment or conditions: Measures, instruments, or ways of collecting data: Results data collected: Conclusions what do the data mean or imply?
This initial literature review should be between four and eight pages in length and should contain an introductory paragraph and a reference page, all in correct APA style sixth edition. Do not expect your advisor to be an editor. The onus is ultimately on you to write in a logical, coherent, objective style that can be easily understood by all who read your paper.
An advising professor will provide feedback and some editorial comments, but this is much different from taking on the role of an editor.
Start collecting journal articles for your literature review as soon as possible. A number of sources are needed. I tell my graduate students that a minimum of 25 is needed but there are a wide variety of opinions here.
It takes time to read, take notes, and synthesize all the material you read; thus, allow plenty of time for this stage. Create a preliminary outline for your literature review.
An outline is used to help you find a logical structure. This structure is like the frame of a house and is used to hold your ideas together. Some like to use an inverted triangle that goes from most general to most specific.
For example, if I were writing a paper on gifted learners and reading in the elementary school, I would use the following sections: Begin to plan how you will collect data. Teachers often use a pilot study in their class to experiment with and refine several data collection methods before selecting those they will use.
Keep in mind that your data collection must be well planned and systematic. Plan on revising each chapter at least four times.
Revision is what separates good writing from average writing. Revision is at the heart of writing of any kind. Assume the reader knows nothing. Adopt a teaching, describing mode. The reader should know exactly what you are doing and why, and be able to replicate your procedures. This is not meant to be a recipe; rather, it is a flexible guideline. The order and parts to be included may vary depending on your research topic and the requirements of your college or university.
Your advisor may also ask for slight variations of this form; thus, it is imperative that you meet with your advisor before you begin. This will save you both a great deal of time and help you avoid frustration. Abstract The abstract is a brief summary of the thesis, study, or journal article.
Its purpose is to give readers a very concise overview. For a thesis you should include a the purpose or problem; b pertinent information about participants; c pertinent information about the methodology; and d basic findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
You have a limited number of words here. Most abstracts are between and words. Use as few words as possible.
Sample abstracts are included in the next section. Introduction to the topic no heading for this section A. Identify the problem or area of interest.
Provide background information. Purpose Statement heading, centered, boldface A. The purpose of this paper was to examine the writing workshop in my second grade and to describe effective implementation practices. Put the purpose in the form of one or more questions. The specific research questions are. What is happening during my writing workshop? If so, how should the writing workshop be implemented in a primary grade setting?
Importance of the Study heading, centered, boldface A. Tell why this study is important. The information here will be of value to. It will also provide elementary teachers with a plan to. Definition of Terms heading, centered, boldface A. List important terms. Briefly describe each term using one or two complete sentences.
This builds the foundation for your thesis. Here you provide background information to support your question or to put your research topic in a theoretical context. Also, you want to see what others have found related to your topic that may be of use in your action research. Gather material.
Consider using 25—40 sources. Use current, peer- reviewed journal articles whenever possible. After reading each piece, take notes listing the citation at the top and only those items of importance below. Use headings whenever possible. This will make it easier to organize your notes. Begin thinking about the structure. Some people like to web or outline to find structure initially. As data in the form of your notes are gathered, begin to look for categories. Your initial structures should be very flexible because they most likely will change.
As you write this chapter, use headings and subheadings to break up the text. It is very hard to read several pages of text without headings. Describe empirical research related to your topic. When describing research studies, try to use one or two sentences to describe each of the following: This chapter ends with a brief summary of the major points covered that is generally about one paragraph in length. Sometimes the summary is put in list form with each point cited.
Participants heading, centered, boldface A. Describe the people involved. The reader should know ages, number, gender, ethnic makeup, and anything else you feel is pertinent to your research.
Describe the environment: Materials heading, centered, boldface A. Describe any materials used in your research.
If you are using a particular curriculum, product, or procedure describe it fully. Include relevant examples in an appendix. Remember that the reader knows nothing. Describe all types of measuring devices.

The fall ’15 couture collections made spellbinding strides. Wrapping up last week in Paris, the shows officially called End Scene on the the autumn/winter show season. And what a season it was, with an uncommon amount of buzzy news and moves.
Karl Lagerfeld showed his first couture collection for Fendi, which was remarkable not only for the continued fur and leather innovation — which extended to psychedelic patchwork boots — but also because the house is celebrating its 50th year working with the Kaiser as designer. In today’s flippant fashion world, that kind of extended relationship is worth marveling at.
Another Roman fashion house, Valentino, also made waves this season by moving its presentation to the Eternal City. With Mr. Garavani and his partner Giancarlo Giacometti looking on (with a scarlet-gowned Gwyneth Paltrow by their side), designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli laced up models in apropos flat gladiator sandals.
After the Maison Margiela show, John Galliano’s comeback mission is indeed complete. The embattled designer appears to have risen again with a brilliant artisanal-meets- avant-garde collection that fused the Old World with a bold new vision. Case in point: mirror-heeled patent pumps shaped almost like a butcher’s cleaver.

England captain Alastair Cook has become the youngest ever batsman to cross 10,000 runs in Test cricket. Cook, who is 31 years and five months old, beat Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar’s record, who was 31 years and 10 months old when he crossed 10,000 runs. Cook achieved the landmark on Day 4 of the second Test against Sri Lanka at Chester-le-Street. He is also the first Englishman to score 10,000 runs in Test cricket.
The England captain is the 12th man to join the elite 10,000-run club in Test cricket. India’s Sunil Gavaskar was the first ever to achieve the landmark in 1987. He was followed by Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Brian Lara, Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Ricky Ponting, Jacques Kallis, Mahela Jayawardene, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Kumar Sangakkara. Cook has played 127 Tests, scoring 28 centuries, since his debut in 2006.

I was quoted in these two pieces at CNN.
“There is a groundswell of sympathy for her and also a very strong demand for the Pakistani state to do something about this issue,” said Raza Rumi..”
The second piece is an excellent report on who are the Pakistani Taliban. I am pasting it below for the readers here:
(CNN) — While its recent attack on a 14-year-old girl in Pakistan brought international outrage, the Pakistani Taliban take credit for a long list of assaults on civilians and the military in the country’s mostly ungoverned tribal area along the Afghan border.
The banned Islamist group, which has intimate links to the Afghan Taliban and al Qaeda, unabashedly confirmed it tried to kill teen activist Malala Yousufzai as she rode home from school in a van October 9.
But before that, the group, formally known as Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), took the global spotlight when Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American, attempted to detonate a car bomb in New York’s Times Square in May 2010. The TTP took responsibility, and Shahzad testified that he had received training from them.
Are they “the Taliban?”
They are not “the Taliban” that the U.S. forces have been at war with in Afghanistan, according to a Pakistani analyst. But that they adopted the name “Taliban” is no coincidence.
Formally known as Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, the group is very closely linked with its namesake in Afghanistan as well as with al Qaeda. It shares its religious extremist ideology — but is its own distinct group.
The TTP also has a different goal, but its tactics are the same, says Raza Rumi, director of policy and programs at the Jinnah Institute, a Pakistani think tank.
“Their primary target is the Pakistani state and its military,” he says. “It resents the fact that it (Pakistan) has an alliance with the West, and it wants Sharia to be imposed in Pakistan.”
Another terrorism analyst notes that “there is a shared heritage between the two groups.”
“The Pakistani Taliban emerged as a power alongside the Taliban as a kind of network of support,” says Matthew Henman of IHS Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre.
During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, fighters from Pakistan crossed over the border to fight. They retained close relations with the Taliban after returning home, Rumi says.
There are other militant groups in Pakistan’s tribal region not under the umbrella of the TTP, who support the Taliban but do not pursue Tehrik-i-Taliban’s goals of replacing the Pakistani state with an Islamist one.
Where do the TTP’s roots lie?
Pakistan’s army began hunting various militant groups in the semi-autonomous regions along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, known as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), in 2002.
In reaction, militant “supporters of the Afghan Taliban in the tribal areas transitioned into a mainstream Taliban force of their own,” according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
In 2007, like-minded militias in Pakistan’s tribal region came together under the command of Baitullah Mehsud, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2009.
As a result of its beginnings, Tehrik-i-Taliban are not a unified fighting force but a coordinated coalition of militias.
“Since its formation, the TTP have been dominated by one tribe,” Henman says. “That is the Mehsud tribe.” When Baitullah Mehsud died, factions competed for Tehrik-i-Taliban’s leadership.
The militant groups control different regions within the tribal area and often have different agendas and political objectives. The factions don’t always speak with one voice, although it is widely believed they now recognize Hakimullah Mehsud as their leader.
The TTP may have started in the tribal regions, but have since expanded their network.
They are “not just guys hiding in mountains or caves.” They maintain loose factions spread out as far as Punjab province, Rumi explains.
“And they have also been joined by criminal gangs” to raise money through kidnappings and extortion. But the TTP have maintained the coalition nature of their roots, which leads to internal strife.
The TTP’s opposition to the government and its allies, particularly the United States, has galvanized them beyond their differences.
“When (former president Gen. Pervez) Musharraf sided with the U.S. in 2001 after the ‘you are either with us or against us’ line from (then-President George W.) Bush, this is when the Taliban began to resent the military,” Rumi says.
The TTP do not encompass all militant groups in the tribal regions but does work together with some, such as the Haqqani Network.
What is the Pakistani Taliban’s mission?
The TTP are fighting to overthrow Pakistan’s government via a terrorist campaign, according to the U.S. State Department.
“They reject the Pakistani constitution,” says Rumi. “They reject the democratic process in Pakistan.” […]

The Democracy Conference entitled “Bread, Freedom, Justice” was held in Istanbul last week. It was really important that many different parties gathered together at this conference, writes Veysi Sarısözen for Yeni Özgür Politika. The issues in Turkey were discussed and the demands of those marginalised segments of society were evaluated. Citizens shouted out their messages during this conference. ”We are starving, we are crushed under tyranny,” they responded aloud. We already knew that they were struggling, but the conference have become an indicator of the “unity” of the oppressed: the unity of people from different parties, different beliefs and sects, and different ideologies.
In bringing all these voices together, in a way, the conference functioned like a ”union” of those who have been suffering from the current regime in Turkey. It is a kind of “union.” I am not referring to a ”working class union” here. I refer to representatives of different classes and social groups who attended this conference. Such large unity is of considerable importance in the struggle against the fascist regime.
But let us put it differently: Can this conference be at the centre of the struggle against the fascist regime? It cannot.
I made a comparison to a “union” to further underline this. It combined the demands under the slogan of “bread, freedom, justice.” But who do they demand “bread, freedom and justice from?”
If we had lived under a parliamentary democracy, even under a very limited one, we could call upon the government. We could shout: “Give us more bread”, “give us more freedom and justice”. If these demands had been fulfilled, we would support the government and if not, we would not support them, isn’t that the case?
But opposition of this kind is not valid in a fascist regime. Fascism already means that the state will reduce your demands to the demand “for bread,” that the state “will take your freedom away and destroy justice”. Nothing can be asked from or of dictatorships. The person who asks anything from a fascist regime gives legitimacy to the regime.
Therefore, the conference does not address its demands to the Erdoğan regime. It appeals to the opposition, saying: ”There is no bread, no freedom, no justice”.
The conference does not ask anything from the dictatorship, but it also does not show the way how to get ‘bread, freedom, justice’, but rather demands that the political parties of the opposition show the path regarding how to acquire all of these. And that is the right thing to do.
What would the opposition say to the representatives of the suffering people? Would they say, “When we come to power, there will be bread, freedom, and justice?”
The conference instead asked: ”How will you come to power, or how will you overthrow this fascist regime?” The opposition is confident, claiming, ”We will demand an early election, and when it happens, we will destroy Erdoğan.”
What a pity…
The democracy conference asks nothing from the fascist regime, but the opposition wants elections from the fascist regime. What will happen if the regime does not accept such a demand? The opposition has no answer.
The worst thing is that we are on the brink of a new Cold War and the regime receives NATO’s support in return for agreeing to do whatever NATO wants us to do, like a donkey. Each day the opposition fails, the government carries the country to new adventures, following NATO, just like what happened in Afghanistan and Ukraine.
In this case, the wide range of participants in the Democracy Conference must take action. They should demand the following from the opposition: ”You must provide an ultimatum to Erdoğan and his accomplices. Either consent to forming an election government and an early election with the participation of all parties in the parliament, ensuring election security by the government, or you must all resign from parliament.”
The participants of the conference conveyed their demands to the opposition. Now, it is up to the opposition. The opposition must articulate how it will address the demands raised at the Conference.
Trade unions, civil society organisations, conferences are the ways to express the demands of the workers, the people, the women, the Alevites, the Kurds and ecological justice and they can raise the struggle for these demands on a localised basis.
Political parties, on the other hand, carry out the political struggle and cannot confine themselves to embracing the demands of the people, but should link these demands to a political struggle and adress these to a tactical-strategic political goal.
The aim of the tactical struggle today is to force Erdoğan and all his men to resign. This demand should be raised first in the parliament and then on the streets. And the strategic goal is to overthrow the fascist regime and establish a democratic republic.

Rome City is the capital of Italy located at the Tiber River in west central part of the Italy. Ever wondering why Rome is one of the best place to visit in Europe? Here’s a list of five of the many places you can visit in Rome:
- Colosseum. The Roman Colosseum is a testament to the architectural skills of the ancient Roman people and offers insight into the culture that celebrated the gladiator games at this huge entertainment arena. The first bloody fight ensued in A.D. 82, starting a tradition of battles between men and beasts in a public forum with crowds reaching 50,000. Outside of the Colosseum, look out for the photo opportunity beneath the Arch of Constantine, which was built in 315 to commemorate the victory of Constantine over Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius. To avoid lengthy lines, order tickets online ahead of time -- they're good for 2 consecutive days and include admission to the nearby Forum and Palatine Hill.
- Pantheon. Rome's temple to the gods is remarkably intact, a great feat considering that it was originally constructed in 27 B.C. and was later rebuilt in the early 2nd century A.D. after fire damage. An altar was later added for Christian worship after the country abandoned its pagan gods. After the Renaissance, the Pantheon took on yet another role as a designated tomb for some of the city's artists and elite including the painter Raphael and former kings of Italy. The Pantheon's architecture has inspired copycats around the globe with its tall columns reaching toward the sky, expansive interior and impressive dome with the sun shining through the oculus, a 27-foot hole in the center of the rotunda.
- Vatican City. Even though it's located in Rome, Vatican City has been an independent state since 1929 with its own flag, coins and stamps. It even has its own militia, the Swiss Guard, which protects this state, the Pope and the 800 full-time citizens and visiting residents. The first impressive site is St. Peter's Square itself designed by Bernini in the late 17th century. As long as you're dressed appropriately (no bare shoulders or shorts or skirts above the knee), you may enter St. Peter's Basilica and see Michelangelo's Pietá, a stunningly beautiful and sad sculpture. Continue up to the roof where you can take in the view of the large square and city beyond. Also contained in the Vatican's walls, the Vatican Museums hold Italian masterpieces, including Michelangelo's painted ceiling at the Sistine Chapel.
- Piazza Navona. Rome is known for beautiful and charming squares lined with restaurants and open-air cafes. The loveliest of them all is the large public square at Piazza Navona, once the site of sporting events at Domitian's stadium in A.D. 89. The square contains 3 fountains, and the largest and most memorable is Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers with each of the 4 statues representing a river from different continents.
- Castel Sant'Angelo. This fortress on the Tiber River was originally designed by the Emperor Hadrian to be used as a mausoleum for his own family. And it was certainly a resting place fit for royalty, rising above the city with glorious views. Over the centuries, it moved beyond its original purpose and served as a military fortress in 401 and later a papal residence and even a prison. It's now a museum where you may tour the apartments and see the statue of the archangel Michael rising above the terrace.

How to Date a Japanese Sword
Learn How to Identify Old Swords
Evidence of swords in Japan dates back to the 700s. These original creations were made from bronze and were typically curved. The more traditional Japanese swords, including the katana, odachi, tachi, and others, date back to around the Nanbokuchō period in the 1300s. With such a long stretch of history in which swords of similar design were made, it can be tough to figure out exactly when a particular blade was forged.
At Swords of Northshire, we’re here with some tips to help you figure out how to date a Japanese sword. The following guidelines are meant to be a general overview, as no single indicator can determine the exact age of a sword. You must comprehensively examine your blade, taking all its features into consideration before deciding how to date your Japanese sword. We don’t recommend you do the examination yourself unless you’re a professional because it requires sword disassembly, which can be dangerous to both you and the sword.
Whether you recently came into possession of an old sword or you’re hoping to find antique swords at your local consignment store, we can help you learn more about how to identify old swords.
1. Real or Replica?
Before you consider learning how to date a Japanese sword, your first step is to figure out if it’s even an authentic antique piece. Japanese smiths take great pride in their work, and many modern swords made for iaito or display are held to the same standards and use the same smithing techniques as ancient designs.
If you have any doubt about the age of a sword, you should first check it with a magnet. This method is an easy way to learn how to identify old swords. Steel is magnetic, but aluminum is not. Any sword made of aluminum is a modern version of a traditional samurai sword. However, even if the blade is steel, keep in mind that many smiths still forge modern replicas with steel materials to ensure their strength and durability. This technique is only step one in learning how to date a Japanese sword. Again, you must take the rest of the sword's qualities into consideration before deciding if it’s a genuine antique.
2. Identifying the Hada
The hada of a blade is the visible grain in the steel. A hada grain is different from a hamon line and much more challenging to identify. A poorly polished piece or one that has rusted can heavily obscure the hada, making it seem as if there isn’t one. Most handmade pieces will have a distinctive grain that indicates the smith used the folding forging method. If you don’t see a hada, don’t worry – some of the oldest blades won’t show a prominent hada. Furthermore, some very well-made pieces from more recent eras do show the grain.
3. Finding the Hamon
Once you’ve identified the hada on your journey to learning how to date a Japanese sword, it’s time to look for the hamon line. Sometimes, the hamon line is actually etched and not folded and forged naturally into the blade. One giveaway of an etched hamon line is when it’s visible as a smooth cloud without any variation or internal features. A true hamon line may show small specks and dots along the border.
An etched hamon line doesn’t necessarily indicate a low-quality or fake sword. It simply indicates a more modern design, as etching techniques hadn’t yet developed in ancient Japan. A smooth hamon line is a critical part of how you identify old vs. new swords.
4. Serial Numbers
Many Japanese blades have markings. Some markings are hand-carved while others are stamped. Those swords with stamped blades are most likely machine-made – usually from World War II. They are not considered authentic antiques, called nihonto, and were not wielded by real samurai. If your sword has markings on the blade that are not a serial number or arsenal stamp, this may indicate that you have something special.
When it comes to how you date a Japanese sword, it’s important to note that the higher quality Japanese swords were usually inscribed with the date they were made and signed by the blacksmith who made them. While sword inscriptions (also called nengo) dated before the 1200s are extremely rare, there are annotations that can hint at when and where a sword was made. Inscriptions are usually read from top to bottom and include the period (nengo), number of years in the period (nen), month (gatsu), and day the sword was completed (hi). A typical inscription may read something like this: “16th Year of Showa, 3rd Month, 4th Day.”
If you’re interested in translating the inscription into the modern, Westernized calendar, you would need to add the number of years listed in the inscription to the beginning of that period. The Showa Period, for example, lasted from 1926 until 1989. So, the 16th year of that period would be 1942. The inscription sample above is from March 4th, 1942.
There is one added complication to dating a sword by these inscriptions: the segregation of the Japanese Imperial Court. For much of the 1300s, there was a Southern and a Northern Court. While many swords will have the dates inscribed in the style of the Southern Court, there are a few swords that used the style of the Northern Court. Additionally, there is a third style of inscription that was used during World War II, called archaic zodiacal dating. Determining the inscription style first will be the key to learning how to date a Japanese sword.
5. Blade Polishing
Next step in how to date a Japanese sword? Looking at the sharpening technique. Is your blade sharpened all the way down to the hilt? If not, this can mean two things: one, that the sword simply wasn’t well maintained, or two, that it was a deliberate choice common in World War II-era blades. The sharpening method is no guarantee of age, but when combined with markings, hamon, and hada, you should be getting a pretty good picture of the age of your sword.
6. Examining the Tang
Most Japanese swords are held together using mekugi pegs. These pegs are little screws that attach the handle to the blade. If you remove the mekugi, your blade will slide out of the handle. Some swords have two mekugi, one near the guard and the other at the end of the hilt. When examining the tang, there are two indicators of age. The first is when you have a full tang weapon, where the metal of the blade is long enough to slide all the way into the hilt. If your sword doesn’t have a tang, not only is it not authentic, it’s not even usable!
The second indicator of age is the rusting on the tang. Do not remove the rust, as it can be dated to indicate the age of the weapon. New swords usually have a gray tang with a bit of red rust, but older swords have tangs that have rusted to the point where they’re a smooth brown or deep black. Any tampering of the tang will make determining its age harder, makes authenticating the blade impossible, and may reduce its value. Let a professional who knows how to date a Japanese sword take a look at the rusting and test it before doing anything else.
There are many swords that have unique features that seem cool but were actually just gimmicks designed to sell. Sword canes and intricately carved handles are two indicators that a weapon was probably never meant to be used in battle.
Also known as shikomi-zue, sword canes are typically very low quality. They were produced between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These types of swords have very straight and thin blades, the opposite of the slightly curved katana and wakizashi of the samurai. Additionally, sword canes tend to have many flaws in the metal, as the shape and thinness of the blade lend themselves to runs, chips, and delamination of the metal.
If you ever see a sword with an intricately carved handle, you can almost be sure that it’s not a collectible. Intricately carved handles are usually made of bone, and they have very low-quality mountings. While you can find everything from a tanto to a tachi with a carved bone handle, be wary of the quality of the work.
If anyone tells you that they have an authentic ninja sword from Japan, they’re probably not showing you the real deal. There is only very tenuous historical documentation that ninjas used specially designed swords that varied greatly from the traditional samurai weapons. While ninjas were real, evidence suggests they probably used very similar weapons to every other warrior class.
Time to Date Your Swords
Now that you know a little bit more about how to date a Japanese sword, you have a base from which to start exploring. Visit museums to see some of the above indicators in real life, authenticated weapons, and practice how to identify old swords!

Toughened up from playing big, physical foes, Auburn Mountainview is ready to see just how far it can go in the November playoffs.
The Lions dropped a frustrating 20-15 outcome to Todd Beamer at windswept Federal Way on Saturday afternoon but discovered much more about themselves facing the 4A programs in the North Puget Sound League’s top-tiered Mountain Division.
“We know we can play with a very physical football team. Every team in the Mountain Division, they are the real deal,” said the Lions’ all-purpose player, senior Cooper White. “It was good to see that (toughness and resolve) out of our team. Now let’s see how we can bounce back (this) week. We have the home-field advantage … under the lights. We will be ready to go.”
Auburn Mountainview (3-5) – the Mountain’s No. 4 team – faces Hazen of Renton (2-6) – the middle-tiered Valley Division’s No. 4 representative – for the NPSL’s 5 seed to the Nov. 8-9 district playoffs. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Friday at Auburn Memorial Stadium.
Auburn Mountainview has reached the postseason six straight seasons and in eight of the nine autumns under coach Jared Gervais.
“The guys battled,” Gervais said, “and the good thing is we come out of this pretty healthy.”
The Lions went toe-to-toe with the playoff-bound Titans (4-4), frequently moving the ball but coming up short and settling for field goals, instead of touchdowns. Auburn Mountainview’s spread attack accounted for 339 yards, 207 of which came from the right arm of freshman Kayde Bodine.
Julian Huizar made all three of his field goal attempts, the longest from 37 yards out, and Berkley Alfrey scored on a fumble recovery.
Alfrey, a junior standout, also pounded out 118 yards on 29 carries. Teagin Child had 10 catches for 141 yards.
The Lions led 12-7 at the half before giving up the go-ahead TD in the third quarter.
Trailing 20-15 and facing a stiff wind, Auburn Mountainview mounted a drive in the final two minutes of the game. They drove to the Titans’ 17 but couldn’t convert on fourth-and-10 with 32.8 seconds left.
“Obviously, there’s some plays we would like to have back offensively and defensively. Some playcalls we definitely would like to have back offensively,” Gervais said.
Despite dropping four of five division games, the Lions are poised to break through with a win against Hazen.
“Obviously our guys are frustrated at being 3-5, but it’s made us a ton better. It’s made our guys better,” Gervais said. “It’s going to make us better going (into) the playoffs, and it’s going to make us better for the future. The guys will know what it’s going to take to be better.”

RTÉ broadcaster Evanne Ní Chuilinn welcomes baby #3
"He’s here and he’s perfect."
Huge congratulations are in order for Evanne Ní Chuilinn who has become a mum for the third time.
The RTÉ broadcaster and her husband Brian Fitzsimons welcomed a baby boy into the world on January 4th.
The couple chose the sweetest moniker for their son, as Evanne confirmed his name is Teidí - a stunning Irish name that has grown in popularity in recent years.
The proud mum shared a photo of baby Teidí on Instagram.
"He’s here and he’s perfect," she wrote alongside a photo of her adorable little boy.
"Our little 10 pound 4 ounce buster arrived after lunch today Jan 4th - by far the most emotional arrival, after such a long journey."
View this post on Instagram
The mum-of-three said, "We are just so so happy and grateful."
"Teidí Dermot Fitzsimons, fáilte romhat, grá mo chroí," Evanne added.
She also praised the staff at The Coombe Hospital in Dublin. She said that our healthcare workers, particularly those working in maternity hospitals are "angels."
"Staff at the Coombe are under savage pressure, and they are angels, as always," she wrote.
"Special thanks to Prof Mary Wingfield and her amazing team at @merrion_fertility_clinic for helping us bring Teidí into the world.
In an interview with Independent.ie, the broadcaster revealed it took three years for her to get pregnant with her "miracle baby". She conceived her third child after a round of IVF.
Evanne is also a mum to 9-year-old Séimi and 6-year-old Peigi.

In our last session of the Intuitive Art Class, Ronda, who you’ve seen on this blog here and here, gave me these metal birds and a cherry she made from soda cans. She’s so talented!
She had seen all of the stuff I had hanging from our cherry tree that the tree service cut down by mistake.
Anyway, she made these for me to hang on our small cherry tree. So the other day I went out and hung them on our cherry tree – the only one of the three to survive that we planted several years ago.
Behind this tree you can see one of the new cherry trees we planted this year and the bee hive.
And what is exciting, if the birds don’t beat me to them, it looks like we’ll have at least enough cherries for one cobbler.
But cherries aren’t the only fruit coming on here at Happy Acres. It’s always exciting to see our blueberries. Won’t be long and I’ll be harvesting them.
These are our first peaches on these new trees we planted several years ago. Not sure they will hang on until ripe, but looks like in a couple years we should have plenty to eat.
Then the blackberries – we always have gobbs of them every year. I always make a variety of treats with them. Check out my recipes here.
I’m not doing an iris count this year, but I just have to show you one of my favorites. It’s a beautiful two-tone rust bearded iris. I still have two large iris areas, but I’ve moved some of my favorites to the front where I can see them and in smaller beds so I take care of them easier.
Lastly, this week started with putting up my ice dyed fabric exhibit at the North Park Library in Evansville, Indiana. The exhibit will stay up for two months. It was so neat to see my art in the display cases.
Another great week! Hope yours is going well.
Yes, Ronda is amazingly talented
So great to see your work on display!! You should be proud! Love the bird made from the Coke can. Did you do anything to the edges to keep them from cutting a finger??!! Very cool!
Be sure to have your hubby take your picture in front of your display – What a privilege – great work!
Michelle Mathey – POMI recently posted..“Shaytards”
I enjoyed seeing how your garden is coming along. The ice dyed display is really lovely.
Jeannie recently posted..The sound that woke me.
Annette, Thanks. When Ronda gave me these she said to be careful so I was. No, the edges are sharp.
My friend Teresa did that but I really hate my pictures these days. Thanks.
Jeannie, Thanks. Lots of weeding and mulching going on right now with the asparagus harvesting. Won’t be long I’ll be moving on to blueberries. Thanks for dropping by.
Contractulations on the exhibit, that’s so great!! Love seeing all things blooming in your garden, as always 🙂

Methanex, the world’s largest supplier of methanol, will probably move a second plant from Chile to Geismar, according to Fitch Ratings.
Fitch’s statement is part of a news release assigning a BBB- rating to Methanex’s debt. The rating means Vancouver-based Methanex’s $967 million in debt is considered an acceptable risk.
Fitch also said Methanex expects to spend around $500 million to relocate one plant and roughly $1 billion to move both plants to Louisiana.
Fitch’s news release is the second public mention of another Methanex project in Geismar. During a Sept. 26 speech to the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge, Louisiana Chemical Association President Dan Borné said Methanex was considering a second Geismar facility.
According to Fitch, Methanex’s Chilean plants have operated well below capacity for a number of years because natural gas imports from Argentina have been disrupted.
Last month, Methanex announced it had gotten the state and federal air permits needed for a 1 million-ton ethanol plant in Geismar.
Vancouver-based Methanex Corp. has been granted the state and federal air permits needed to construct and operate its 1 million-ton methanol project in Geismar. Methanex had said it expects to be in production by the end of 2014. The new plant will create 130 new jobs, with an average salary of $56,250, plus benefits.
Methanol can be found in everything from windshield washer fluid to recyclable plastic bottles, plywood floors, paint, silicone sealants and synthetic fibers. Methanol, a clean-burning alternative fuel, also is increasingly used in the energy sector, including direct gasoline blending, dimethyl ether and biodiesel.

The disagreements between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were among the most significant political divisions in early American history. These two founding fathers had very different visions for the country, and their disagreements led to profound changes in American society. But what exactly did these disagreements lead to?
One of the most important outcomes of the Hamilton-Jefferson disagreements was the creation of political parties. Hamilton and his followers, known as Federalists, believed in a strong central government, a national bank, and close ties with Britain. Jefferson and his followers, known as Republicans (not to be confused with today`s Republican Party), believed in a more limited federal government, a strict interpretation of the Constitution, and close ties with France.
These two opposing views led to bitter political battles, with each side trying to gain control of the government. Eventually, the Federalists lost power, and the Republicans took control of the presidency and Congress in 1800. This was a significant shift in American politics, and it cemented the idea of political parties as an essential part of the American political system.
Another major outcome of the Hamilton-Jefferson disagreements was the shift towards industrialization. Hamilton believed that America needed to become a manufacturing powerhouse to compete with Britain, and he advocated for government support of industries like textiles and iron. Jefferson, on the other hand, believed that America should remain a largely agricultural society, with small farms and limited government involvement in the economy.
While Jefferson`s vision of America never fully came to fruition, Hamilton`s ideas did lead to the growth of American industry. The government provided support for industries like textiles and iron, and America became a significant manufacturing power in the 19th century.
Finally, the Hamilton-Jefferson disagreements had a profound impact on American foreign policy. Hamilton believed that America needed to maintain close ties with Britain, while Jefferson advocated for closer ties with France. This debate played out during the French Revolutionary Wars, with the Federalists generally supporting Britain and the Republicans supporting France.
While America never fully took either side in the wars, the disagreements did reveal deeper differences in American foreign policy. Hamilton`s vision of a global commercial power and Jefferson`s vision of an America that stayed out of foreign conflicts are still relevant debates today.
In conclusion, the disagreements between Hamilton and Jefferson had a profound impact on American society and politics. They led to the creation of political parties, a shift towards industrialization, and significant debates over American foreign policy. While the two founding fathers may have disagreed on many issues, their debates helped shape the country we know today.

In a landmark ruling that referenced International Women’s Day, a judge in Kenya has set free a woman who killed her husband after years of domestic violence. The judgement was delivered further to a report from a probation officer who was recently trained by RWI in human rights.
Kenya’s prisons are full of women serving lengthy sentences for hitting back at their abusive partners, with domestic violence tragically rife in the country, and a justice system that rarely takes adequate account of such mitigating circumstances. Setting a dramatic precedent, however, is the recent case of a woman who admitted killing her husband in December last year, while pleading self-defence and a long history of serious abuse that had recently required her hospitalisation.
Before delivering sentence in the case, Hon. Justice R.E. Aburili, a judge at the High Court in Siaya County, ordered a report from Catherine Amimo, a probation officer who attended a training in October 2020 on human rights as part of the cooperation between RWI and the Kenya Probation and Aftercare Service (PACS). The training focused on the practical application of relevant international human rights standards for community corrections, including the UN Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders (Bangkok Rules), which were reflected in the pre-sentence report that Amimo delivered, as well as the ruling that followed.
Taking into account the information and recommendations presented in the report, which noted also that the defendant was the carer for two young children, Justice Aburili handed down a symbolic one-day sentence and ordered her to be freed from the court, assisted to a safe place in the community, and provided with trauma counselling.Even her travel expenses were to be paid!
In the detailed judgement, Justice Aburili observed: “As the world marks the International Women’s Day, the question that this court poses is- what can a person of the accused person be celebrated for and what will she be remembered for? There are only two things to remember her for, from the facts of this case. One, is that she was a butchered, battered, dehumanized and violated woman who had no voice. She persevered through the domestic violence meted on her by her late husband who is described as irresponsible and violent. Secondly, she will be remembered as a person who killed her husband in the process of defending her own life.”
Jackie Mathenge, Programme Officer at RWI responsible for the cooperation between the Institute and PACS, explained
“It’s unprecedented for a ruling like this to take such close account of the international standards. The Bangkok Rules require that the history of victimization of many women offenders be considered during sentencing and that alternatives to imprisonment shall be implemented wherever appropriate and possible. They further direct that sentencing shall take account of the care-giving responsibilities of women offenders, and that separating women from their families should be avoided. They also call for interventions to address the most common problems leading to women’s contact with the criminal justice system, including therapeutic courses and counselling for victims of domestic violence. Catherine Amimo’s report, and Justice Aburili’s judgement, did all of this, and more.”
Mary Mbau, Director of the Probation and Aftercare Service, added
“The RWI training has impacted positively on our officers’ performance, as shown in the quality of pre-sentence reports they have been submitting to courts. In the highlighted case, the probation officer’s report drew upon the Bangkok Rules very eloquently, and enabled the court to arrive at a favorable sentencing disposition for the accused person despite the severity of the offence. The Department looks forward to more favorable change and impact on officers from the trainings.”
The cooperation between RWI and PACS is supported by Swedish Development Cooperation (Sida).

Media outlets have stated that hundreds of mass shootings and 27 school shootings have taken place in the U.S. since the beginning of 2022, but incidents like the Tuesday shooting in Uvalde, Texas, are much more rare.
CBS News, Insider, The BBC, The Hill and NPR reported that the Tuesday mass school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, marked the 27th school shooting in 2022, citing independent data collection organization The Gun Violence Archive and news organization Education Week. However, the data could be construed to make it appear as though incidents like the Uvalde shooting are much more common.
The Education Week and Gun Violence Archive studies include incidents very different from the Uvalde school shooting; The Gun Violence Archive count includes instances where at least four people are shot as mass shootings, regardless if anyone is killed, while Education Week “tracks incidents resulting in at least one bullet wound,” not including wounds inflicted on the suspect. (RELATED: Biden’s Anti-Gun Lies Are Too Much Even For Legacy Press Fact Checkers)
Real-time U.S. gun violence statistics* for 2022, as of May 24th:
•7,584 gun deaths
•14,166 gun injuries
•212 mass shootings
•411 children (age 0-11) shot
•1,803 teenagers (age 12-17) shot
•450 defensive use incidents
•570 unintentional shootings
— The Gun Violence Archive (@GunDeaths) May 24, 2022
A study for Scientific American defined a mass public shooting “as incidents in which four or more victims are murdered with at least one of those homicides taking place in a public location and with no connection to underlying criminal activity, such as gangs or drugs.” Using that definition, just 13 public mass shootings have taken place at schools, killing 146 people in the U.S. since 1966.
The criminologists who conducted Scientific American’s study built a database that additionally shows there have been 168 total mass shootings in the U.S. between 1968 and February 2020.
Education Week’s data shows that all 2022 school shootings prior to the shooting in Uvalde resulted in 0 or 1 deaths. A drive-by shooting and an incident where one student was shot while fighting with another student were included in Education Week’s accounting.
The Gun Violence Archive’s method of classification also leads to the inclusion of crimes related to gang activity and street crime as mass shootings. For example, a fight that broke out at a Miami car meet in which four people were injured by gunfire was included in The Gun Violence Archive’s mass shooting report.
The Gun Violence Archive and Education Week did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Officers were called to Westside Linear Park and discovered the body of Milana Li — who was reported missing by her mother on Monday — in a small stream just before 3 p.m. Tuesday, according to a Facebook post from the Beaverton Police Department. "The circumstances surrounding Li's death are suspicious. This is an ongoing investigation. Beaverton Police Detectives are investigating this case," the post stated. Authorities have not yet released any additional details about Li's death. Li's body was found less than a mile from her family's apartment and her school, The Oregonian reported. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage? Click here to get breaking crime news, ongoing trial coverage and details of intriguing unsolved cases in the True Crime Newsletter. Police initially described the teenager as a runaway, according to the department's social media post. Li was last seen wearing plaid pajama pants, a dark hooded sweatshirt and Converse shoes at her family's apartment at around 4 p.m. on Sunday. Her mother reported her disappearance the following day, the post stated. In Monday's post, police shared that "detectives have contacted all known associates of Milana and are concerned for Milana's safety because of her age, lack of resources and length of time missing." Police noted that Li's first language was Russian and "English is her second language which she reportedly struggles with." Conestoga Middle School — where Li attended — planned to provide counselors to support students and staff, according to The Oregonian. "There are no words to express the grief of losing a child," Principal Zan Hess said in a letter to parents, the newspaper reported. A small memorial for Li was set up near where her body was found including flowers, candles, a bag of kettle corn chips and a card that read "Rest in pease Milana," per The Oregonian. Authorities are asking anyone with information about the case to call Detective Cindy Herring at 503-526-2280.

The brushless doubly fed induction generator (BDFIG) is an alternative to the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), widely used in wind turbines which avoids the need for brush gear and slip rings. The choice of pole numbers for the two stator windings present in the BDFIG sets the operating speed, typically in the medium speed range to eliminate a gearbox stage. This paper focuses on how both the total number of poles and the assignment of poles between the windings affect machine performance. Analytical expressions have been developed for parameters including pull-out torque, magnetizing current and back-iron depth. The results show that the pole count can be increased without unduly compromising pull-out torque and that in cases where more than one combination of pole number is acceptable only the back iron depth is significantly affected. In addition an output factor has been introduced to enable a direct comparison to be made with conventional DFIGs. The torque density of a brushless DFIG is compromised to a degree relative to a comparable DFIG as a consequence of the presence of two magnetic fields and finite element analysis is needed to achieve an optimized design. Finally, predictions of the performance of multi-MW machines are made based on data from an existing 250 kW machine which show that suitable efficiencies can be obtained and excessive control winding excitation can be avoided.

The Judicial Redress Act 2015 has passed through the US House of Representatives (The House) almost 'on the nod'. It gives foreigners the same rights of redress against American law enforcement agencies if they violate the right to privacy of data.
Both houses of Congress are historically reluctant to allow those outside the USA equivalency and there is little doubt that the recent case of Schrems v Data Protection Commission, where the Safe Harbour (SH) provisions on data transfer to the States was found unfit for purpose, has increased their enthusiasm for the act. It is seen as a signal that the USA view a replacement for SH with some urgency.
Before going out and celebrating the end of all the problems for those of us who transfer data to the USA, it should be recognised that the major cause of the action in the Schrems case, that the state can intercept data with little legal restriction, remains.
The action of The House, and probably The Senate, shows that the USA recognises the problem of data privacy. Unfortunately, the difference in attitudes between the EU and the USA on the subject remains. Further, some EU states are under a lot of pressure from their population to increase security and empty actions will not reassure them.
About to become law, although full implementation is not expected until 2017, is the European General Data Protection Regulation, which is likely to prove a major hurdle to any fudge over the replacement for Safe harbour. It is possible that it might be modified to incorporate the Schrems case, but it has been three years in the making and further delay will generate concern.
If you currently, in the past or have plans to transfer data to the USA, there are some steps you can take to mitigate the risks. Firstly, don't depend on the deadline date given by the Article 29 Working Party of 31 January 2016. Whilst any private action might result in a low award, damage to your reputation might be considerable. Secondly, identify actions you can take to secure your data transfer, and implement them.

The future of the N86 road between Camp and Dingle is to be decided in the courts this week.
An Taisce has applied to the High Court to quash An Bórd Pleanála’s decision to grant Kerry County Council permission to upgrade two sections of the N86.
The case is being defended by An Bórd Pleanála and Kerry County Council. Three days have been set aside for the case to be heard in the Commercial Court this week, beginning on Tuesday July 14th.
An Taisce was granted leave to judicially review An Bórd Pleanála’s November 2014 decision which gave the €65 million project the go-ahead.
They say the route is renowned for its scenic quality and heritage.
However West Kerry Councillor Seamus Cosaí Fitzgerald says the road isn’t fit for purpose.
