La Reserva Bemarivo es una reserva de vida silvestre en el noroeste de Madagascar. Fue creada en 1956 y cubre un área de 12,080 ha. La reserva es conocida por su fauna especialmente aves endémicas.

Geografía
La reserva se encuentra en una meseta costera en la región de Melaky, a unos 12 km del pueblo y comuna de Besalampy, y a unos 5 km de la costa del canal de mozambique. Tiene un clima cálido con una temperatura media diaria de  y la temporada de lluvias es de noviembre a febrero, con una precipitación anual de aproximadamente 1,000 mm. El río Bemarivo es un afluente del río Sofía y fluye permanentemente durante la estación seca, a diferencia de los pequeños afluentes de los ríos Marotondro y Ampandra, que son estacionales. La vegetación principal es densa, bosque seco caducifolio, dominado por árboles de Cordyla, Dalbergia, Diospyros, Eugenia, Grewia, Ravensara y Sideroxylon. Fuera del bosque, hay sabanas secundarias con palmeras Bismarckia, y los lagos y marismas Tsimanjonotsy y Ranovoribe. Los Sakalava son el grupo étnico dominante.

Flora y fauna
La reserva tiene un impresionante número de aves endémicas con más de veintitrés registradas. En total, hay setenta y tres especies de aves, veinte especies de reptiles y quince especies de mamíferos (incluidas seis especies de lémures) que se conocen en esta reserva, así como veinticuatro especies de reptiles y 194 especies de plantas. Los humedales son el mayor atractivo para las aves, que incluyen el águila pescadora de Madagascar ( Haliaeetus vociferoides ) que está en peligro crítico y el teal de Bernier (Anas bernieri), que está catalogado como en peligro por la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN).  Los reptiles encontrados en la reserva incluyen el cocodrilo del Nilo (Crocodylus niloticus) y la Boa de tierra de Madagascar (Acrantophis madagascariensis).

La agricultura de tala y quema es la principal amenaza en la reserva junto con los incendios.

While most politicians think incrementally, President Donald Trump imagines historic events, and then enthusiastically pursues them. The meeting this week between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore was historic. If someone had proposed four years ago that this meeting — and the first step towards denuclearization — would take place, no one would have imagined it possible.
This event illuminates two of Trump's characteristics that made his election and this meeting possible: imagination and enthusiasm.
From Trump's experience as a builder of hotels and golf courses, he has the ability to imagine what could be; to ask himself: what should the future look like? Few people have the ability to really imagine a future outside the bounds of conventional wisdom. Trump does.
Trump also has the enthusiasm to persevere and to ensure that the future he imagines happens. These two characteristics led him to imagine and achieve this week's meeting.
"The past does not have to define the future. Yesterday's conflict does not have to be tomorrow's war."
He then went on to imagine the future that North Korea could enjoy. "There is no limit to what North Korea can achieve when it gives up its nuclear weapons and embraces commerce and engagement with the rest of the world — that really wants to engage. Chairman Kim has before him an opportunity like no other: to be remembered as the leader who ushered in a glorious new era of security and prosperity for his people."
In addition to possessing great imagination, Trump has enthusiasm, not only for working toward his imagined reality, but also for leading a team to make it possible.
"Enthusiasms . . . Enthusiasms . . . What are mine?" says Capone. "What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? (grabs a baseball bat) Baseball! A man stands alone at the plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But in the field, what? Part of a team. Teamwork. . . . Looks, throws, catches, hustles — part of one big team. . . . What does he have to say? I'm goin' out there for myself. But . . . I get nowhere unless the team wins.'"
At this point in the scene, Capone wields the bat to kill a member of his team who he believes is not being true to his team and will not help his team win.
While Trump might appear to be a lone player, that is far from the truth. The ability to lead a complex team toward a common goal is what has led to his success in real estate. This same ability led to the successful summit in Singapore.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo led the team whose members helped lay the groundwork, and his work is not over. Trump provided a charge to Pompeo at end of the news conference, "So Mike, our whole team has to get to work and get it completed. Because otherwise, we've done a good job. But if you don't [get] the ball over the goal line, it doesn't mean enough. OK?"
While Pompeo and team are working on the details, Trump is already imagining another deal, this one with Iran. "I think Iran is a different country now than it was three or four months ago. . . . I don't think they're so confident right now," Trump told reporters.
"But I hope — with that being said, I hope that, at the appropriate time, after these sanctions kick in — and they are brutal, what we've put on Iran — I hope that they're going to come back and negotiate a real deal, because I'd love to be able to do that. But right now, it's too soon for that."
Trump's detractors are likely to focus on his controversial tweets and comments and continue to ignore the real progress that he has made. While they imagine a world without Trump, Trump imagines the world that can be, and then enthusiastically sets about making it a reality.
While most politicians think incrementally, President Donald Trump imagines historic events, and then enthusiastically pursues them. The meeting this week between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore was historic.

Public BLM Lands in the North Fork Valley
News & Highlight
North Fork National Forests. So what is a GMUG?
Aug 12, 2015 by Pete Kolbenschlag No Comments Posted under: Highlight, Public Lands
Conservation & the Public Lands "Essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method"
America's public lands are a national birthright, an exemplar of global conservation leadership, and a tremendous source of local pride and benefit. In the North Fork Valley our National Forest lands are a testament to the foresight of leaders from more than a century ago, and the wisdom of our own forebears.
Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wild life and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method. Theodore Roosevelt
The National Forest lands in the North Fork valley are mostly within the Gunnison National Forest, which is itself part of a larger 'administrative unit' of three individual forests often referred to as the 'GMUG' or Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, Gunnison National Forests. Colorado has eleven National Forests, managed as 6 units. As a single unit the GMUG is the largest. (However, the White River National Forest is the largest single National Forest in the state).
The Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests are a combination of separate National Forests located on the western slope of the Colorado Rockies. These three combined Forests cover 3,161,900 acres of public land in the central and southern Rocky Mountains, an area that lies south of the Colorado River and west of the Continental Divide with some of the most spectacular scenery in the Rockies.
The Gunnison and the Grand Mesa National Forests are nearest to the North Fork Valley, and include lands within the river's watershed. Thus their histories are the most connected to the communities here. Both forests began before there was a U.S. Forest Service, as federal 'forest reserves' under the Bureau of Forestry, dating back to the earliest days of white settlement in the valley.
The long history that connects the forest lands to the valley, of course, tell of the North Fork's character and enterprise. A 1904 report on the Gunnison Forest Reserve notes this about the use of aspen from the forests in the Paonia area:
In the Paonia district aspen is largely used for fruit boxes.
The creation of the reserves was tied directly to the need to protect resources on the land to benefit the public.
Scientists and the American Forestry Association advocated better management of the nation's forest reserves. The Forest Reserve Act of 1891 had mixed purposes — to protect watersheds from erosion and flooding, and to preserve the nation's timber supply from over-exploitation.
And one of the primary rationale for the creation of the Gunnison Forest Reserve in 1905 was the amazing fruit of Colorado's North Fork Valley, and the potential for more agriculture in the region.
The orchards of Colorado's North Fork Valley were already attracting national attention in 1904.
In view of the evidence that the success of the fruit industry of the North Fork Valley and that of the Gunnison Tunnel Project depend on the preservation of the forest growth on the watershed of the Gunnison River, while local industries also need their timber supply protected, and since no lands have been included which are valuable for agricultural purposes, it is strongly recommended that the proposed Gunnison Forest Reserve be established, the boundary thereof to be as shown on the accompanying map.
Earlier in the report, the author provides the rationale for his conclusion:
The value of the forest as a protection cover is clearly shown by the experience of the people of the North Fork Valley. Several years ago the ditches which drew their supply from the North Fork became very short in their supply. The fruit growers, on investigating, found that the herders who were running large bands of sheep on the watershed of the river were setting a great many fires that destroyed the forest cover over many large areas, thereby causing the snows to melt early and rapidly, flooding the streams in the early spring and failing in the summer when water was most needed. After convincing themselves of this fact, the North Fork Fruit Growers Association went to the sheep owners in a body and informed them that they would be given one season to remove their sheep from the watershed. This the owners agreed to do, but during that last season the herders burned off the larger portion of the watershed of Minnesota Creek and the following year, although the rain and snowfall was normal, this creek fell off half in its summer flow. This was proved by actual measurement. This expensive object lesson thoroughly convinced the farmers and fruit growers of the importance of forest cover to prolong stream flow and it seems unnecessary to give further evidence in this report.
While the Gunnison National Forest (and Uncompahgre) date back to 1905, the national forest lands on the Grand Mesa are even older, set aside by President Benjamin Harrison in 1892 as the Battlement Mesa Forest Reserve, the state's oldest.
A 1900 U.S. Geological Survey publication, an excerpt from its 'Twentieth Annual Report' entitled the White River Plateau and Battlement Mesa Forest Reserves includes some fascinating descriptions of the forest resources and early settlements of the area.
In these early surveys, not much longer than a decade after settlers first moved into the North Fork Valley, the mesas sloping into it and off the southern flanks of the Grand Mesa were noted by the federal surveyors for their high agricultural appeal.
And recreation was already recognized as another use of the nearby national forest lands, with the 1900 report noting the presence of a hunting lodge with a 'proprietor' in the vicinity of Leon Lake on the Grand Mesa.
As the young nation was contemplating its system of 'forest reserves,' according to the 1904 Gunnison Forest Reserve proposal agriculture was the main use identified for the North Fork Valley that the forest reserves would benefit.
The forest lands and cover above these mesas were identified as critical to protecting the area's water supplies, commercial hunting was a recognized public use of the lands, and the need to balance uses (between grazing and irrigation, for instance) was an issue the federal land agency was already seeking to resolve.
And although the 1900 survey did identify the likelihood of coal in the upper North Fork, at the time it was considered a limited, domestic use, resource.

The origins of the Grand Mesa National Forest and some of the lands in the Muddy Country on the Gunnison National Forest today, lie in the Battlement Mesa Forest Reserve. The Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests began as reserves as well.
Familiar with the recreational value of the lands, and having already visited Western Colorado on a hunting excursion just months before, in June 1905 President Theodore Roosevelt created the Gunnison, Cochetopa, Uncompahgre, and Montezuma Forest Reserves.
Created under authority given by Congress in 1891, the nation's forest reserves lands were mostly without management direction under the General Land Office until 1897, when the first national forest management law was enacted.
The reserves and their management were further consolidated and clarified with the creation of the U.S. Forest Service in 1905, within the Department of Agriculture. In 1907 Congress further defined the president's authorities to create forest reserves, renaming them National Forests.
The Gunnison and portions of the Cochetopa Reserve are the precursors of the Gunnison National Forest today, named after explorer John W. Gunnison. The Uncompahgre, and part of the Montezuma Reserve, are now the Uncompahgre National Forest, from the Ute name for the valley and plateau to the west, and the river that drains it and some of the northern slopes of the San Juan Mountains, which joins the main stem of the Gunnison at Confluence Park in Delta.
Battlement National Forest (originally Battlement Mesa Forest Reserve) was renamed the Grand Mesa National Forest in the 1920s. By then the recreational values of the National Forest System in Colorado was well established, as this description from the Grand Mesa National Forest (from about 1930) notes:
There are over 100 lakes on the Grand Mesa, many of them old craters and as yet unfathomed. The cool, invigorating weather good fishing, and attractive surroundings draw many summer visitors from the warm lowlands nearby, as well as from many distant places.
And on the Gunnison National Forest as well:
The numerous resorts on the Gunnison River provide accommodations for those who have neither time nor facilities for trips to the higher, more remote fishing streams, and there is much travel over the Taylor Park road, which has recently been completed. Two other main roads cross the forest, one from the town of Gunnison across Black Mesa to Crawford and Hotchkiss and another via Crested Butte over Kebler Pass via Somerset to Paonia in the valley west of the forest.
North Fork of the Gunnison River at Muddy Creek 1900
Further consolidation and reconfiguration of the National Forests occurred through the 1930s. In the 1970s several National Forests were combined—and in many cases were joined into even larger 'administrative units,' such as the GMUG.
The North Fork Valley's history is entwined with the story of our public lands—including the national forests that for more than 100 years have been a part of our shared American heritage, established to be managed in a sustainable way that balances the need to safeguard water resources, to maintain healthy fish and wildlife habitat, to provide range for livestock, and to offer opportunities for recreation as well and for prudent resource extraction where it meets a public need.
At times, and too often, special interests and those that seek foremost personal gain have bent management of the National Forests toward selfish ends, and even away from the public interest. Others advocate for hare-brained schemes to 'transfer' lands out of public ownership. Still, our National Forests themselves remain an enduring American legacy and a tribute to those that had the foresight, more than 100 years ago, to 'reserve' them for their shared and enduring values. Now it is up to us to keep them that way.

Billing for field service work can be one of the most complex and demanding parts of any field service organizations operation. It demands speed and accuracy to keep cash flow solid through the business, and customers will expect prompt billing for their own financial reasons and not want to wait weeks to receive an invoice for service.
There can be a disconnect between the service department and the accounting team, as work orders from the field must make their way back to the head office for processing, which can take plenty of time to turn around into invoices that can be sent out. And during that time, parts and expenses can be missed, time and data could be wrongly inputted, leading to errors or inaccuracies in the invoice, which takes even more time to correct.
For field service organizations, it can be a challenge to complete accounting, especially with hundreds of work orders coming in, so a system needs to be in place to take a very complex scenario, and make it simple. That's where Fieldpoint's field service software and an integration with NetSuite comes into play.
When your field service organization begins to use a feature-rich field service software, one of the options to figure out is how it's going to work with your accounting software. For NetSuite users, Fieldpoint has a built-in integration to NetSuite that allows for plenty of mapped out routes for information and workflow to be designed, make the two systems work together to create a true, end-to-end service solution.
The complex challenges that field service work brings to an accounting department can be simply managed through the integration, maintain the integrity of your billing practices by offering solutions that help with speed and accuracy.
Starting from the field, technicians and subcontractors can input data onto a work order through the field service mobile app, capturing their time, parts used and additional expenses, attaching them all to the work order. Upon completion of the work and the work order is closed, the data is transferred from the field, straight through the integration, directly to the NetSuite sales order, which hosts all the line items used for the job. Any parts, labor hours or expenses appear on the sales order, and can be verified by the accounting team before being finalized.
Information from the work order doesn't need to be re-entered into the sales order, as the connected systems takes care of that time-consuming part of the job. Service managers can see the sales order from within Fieldpoint at the click of a button, without having to login to the NetSuite software, while accountants can see the work order from within NetSuite in the same fashion. This allows both departments to live in their own software.
Field service software and accounting systems such as NetSuite enhance each other many ways, including mapping out data such as customer profiles, employee information, contacts and inventory. It makes things like purchasing simple for service managers, and drastically reduces time in many different areas so your organization can get invoices out quickly. That will not only keep your customers happy, but improve your overall bottom line with prompt billing practices.


I lost the fuel pump on my S3 several weeks ago. It sat in the shop while repairs were being done for several days with no fuel in the carbs. After the fuel pump was repaired, I presume the inlet valve started sticking on at least two carbs. I was able to tap the carbs and remedy one, however she still is flowing over and making the hot soak start more difficult. She also seems to be loading up, overrich at lower RPM's. Presume it is the same problem. Fuel pressure is approximately 2 PSI. I have ordered a kit for the carbs and am anxiously awaiting the repair.
On the top of the carb at the manifold side is a crosspipe. I cannot find any information about the purpose of this, wondering if this is a ported vacuum source. I replaced the distributor last Fall and would like to switch to an advance instead of the retard that is on it now. This leads me to finding a ported vacuum source.
The attached photo, one I stole from another topic has the blue line leading to the pipe. Is this a ported vacuum source? I cannot find any information in the parts catalog or the service manual detailing what this pipe does. Seems to go nowhere, just connects the two carbs. Can I adapt this for the distributor advance?
Additionally, is their a particular vacuum advance unit that anyone has found that is better than any other units?
Of course this is on a US LHD S3 OTS.

The pipe you refer to is parts of the Emission Control System and is plumbed into the rear Exhaust Header on each cylinder bank. You could disconnect this and use the ports for vacuum. However, in original spec, the S3 used a vacuum retard and if you converted to vacuum advance, the same vacuum source can be used.
No you can't "use the same vacuum source".
The port at the left hand rear carburettor is designed to give you a vacuum signal at idle and no signal at all as soon as you are off-idle. The intention is to provide vacuum control at idle only.
"Ported vacuum" is where you don't care about signal at idle but do have a signal at partial throttle, which then tails off at significant throttle opening. The intention is to provide vacuum control at partial (light) throttle openings only.
The two are not the same and are not interchangeable.
The tan coloured US Owners Manual shows the original application for the EGR ports. Others have used the EGR vacuum port as a ported vacuum source.
Total advance at any point will by the static advance plus centrifugal advance from the distributor plus the advance or retard from any attached vacuum capsule, so you may need to adjust your static advance and check your centrifugal advance if you wish to alter the overall advance. Adjusting advance by merely substituting in an advance capsule for the retard capsule may lead to undesired results outside the operating range of the capsule.
Some cars of the period had capsules with two stubs for vacuum signals on opposite sides of the diaphragm so that they provided retard at idle an advance above idle.
Most of my work on cars is limited to cars manufactured during the emission control era. I have never used manifold vacuum as a source for the vacuum advance. From some of the articles and research that I have read about usage of ported vacuum, it was partially to assist in the off idle idle stumble as engines were engineered to pass an emission test.
Unfortunately my experience is with US V8's. The retard idea is very foreign to me. I have little experience with jaguar so far. I rebuilt a Triumph motor and overhauled the carbs when I was younger and not fearful of creating a nightmare.
I will need to drag out the timing light and look at some numbers before I modify the system. I was looking for a little better fuel economy without loss of power or creating a spark pattern that burns a piston.
Hopefully, I will be able to glean some sage advice from those that are much more experienced than I.
Dennis, hope you don't mind but i'd like to pile onto your post.
My car had no vacuum line attached to the dizzy when I bought it. I've now replaced the complete ignition system with a SNG Barratt system and have adjusted everything with no vacuum line attached. The engine is running great, smooth idle, excellent acceleration. Have not tried any high speeds since I live in Hawaii and about 50mph is pretty much where we top out in normal driving. So my question to the forum is: can anyone think of anything terribly wrong with this?
My car had no vacuum line attached to the dizzy when I bought it. I've now replaced the complete ignition system with a SNG Barratt system and have adjusted everything with no vacuum line attached.
Nice location, always one of my favourite destinations.
Your car will be better off without the vacuum attached, as the SNG replacement for the S3 is a vacuum retard system, as per the original specification for the car.
This was done to meet the US emissions regs back in the day, but it hurts performance and fuel economy.
Just make sure you blank off the vacuum port underneath the left rear carb, it's there on the RHD cars, maybe the other side on yours. It's also a good move to blank the port on the vacuum unit under the dizzy.
There is lots of info in the archives, try a search.
The factory fitted retard unit makes the spark fire closer to TDC and the purpose was to make it warm up quicker,burn hotter at idle and meet better emissions. As soon as you take off it is inoperative as there's not enough vacuum to power it. Early cars had a temperature controlled vacuum valve that cut the vacuum once warmed up. Again these become inoperative with age and are unavailable These capsules deteiate with age and become porous which is why many have blanked the supply. I have tried with and without and finally am running with the theory being that I get better idle.
Bottom line is that I've used disproportionate amount of time to get it to run right and have come to the conclusion that it's not bad but will never be as good as it was when it used 5 star leaded fuel. I have posted my experiences if you search Stromberg.
Many have upgraded to injected engines and I can see the sense in this. I have also seen SU conversions but have no experience in this. In the UK we didn't have all that emission pump stuff and I'm guessing it complicates matters even more. Getting the cooling system 100% perfect is critical, modern fuel burns so much hotter.
"Many have upgraded to injected engines and I can see the sense in this."
I planned in the past, to mount a injection from a Series II XJ12 on the EV12 motor. After I have done two acceleration tests against injected EV12 I stopped my planning. From 2000 to 4000 rpm the Stromberg Motor had significant more torque than the injected motors. We presssed the pedals in 4th gear at 2000 rpm and waited , what happened. The car with the Stromberg left the Injected car quickly. This was a big surprise and against common thinking.
I think at more than 4000rpm the injected motor is stronger than the carbed motor. Also the gas consumption of the injected car will be lower, most in the city.

Oriental Weapons

Quote from: Lyrax
It wouldn't be case of rapiers. Rapiers are thrusting only weapons, and katanas are not. The proficiency would, if anything, be more similar to cut & thrust or even longsword/greatsword, depending on how one uses the katana. That is to say, a short katana with a wakazashi would definitely be cut & thrust, but a longer single weapon would be longsword/greatsword proficiency.
As for two weapons, that's cut & thrust, all the way. Cut & thrust users always have an off-hand something or other.
That's more or less what I was getting at. A Cut and Thrust proficiency but with more cut and less thrust. I only mentioned case of rapiers because the off-hand wepaon in this case (wakizashi) is fully a sword, and with cut and thrust I get the feeling that it's smaller stuff usually.
So, again, I think it needs it's own proficiency to do right.
While we're at it, what would you use for a no-dachi? Longsword? Or dopplehander? Interestingly, it's usually only as long as a big longsword, but I think that given the relatively diminutive size of the weilders, it would be used in a more two-handed fashion, no? Can one use either proficiency with either weapon?

All of these weapons, when used in an oriental fashion (that was a key phrase) should have their own proficiencies, I think. No-dachi should default to longsword/greatsword at the smallest penalty, and Katana/Wakazashi for cut & thrust.
Of course, if there are no european styles (i.e., no longswords, greatswords, etc.), then replace cut & thrust with katana, greatsword with no-dachi, etc.

Quote from: Valamir
Its a good soap box to be on. The number of smiths today who can forge even reasonably good swords in the west can probably be measured on the fingers of one hand.
The vast majority of swords out there are good for one thing and one thing only...they look cool hanging on the wall.
Set aside evidence for the time being and just focus on pure logic. Medieval battles could last ALONG time. Many of them ended because darkness prevented further fighting. Take a typical 8#, 12#, or even heavier replica sword. Can you even concieve of a man swinging one of these things all day with one arm...I don't care what kind of shape they're in...it isn't likely.
Before the rise of nationalism and largely conscript armies the people who fought in Europe were professional soldiers with many centuries of tradition and expertise. Its become fashionable (since the so called Renaissance actually) to think of them as big dumb barbarians. Wrong. Very wrong. The idea of the Renaissance rising up out of the dark ages to restore culture is a HUGE myth. Charlemagne's court could rival any renaissance princes and that was in the 800s.
The katana is a fine sword, but it is in no way shape or form inherently superior to a western sword. That too is a myth, a myth that stems from the idea the west was barbaric while the east was cultured. Also not true.
While there is some error in saying the Renaissance rose up out of the dark ages to restore culture, it's not FAR wrong. Charlemagne's court was more or less a one-off thing, and the knowledge lost over that peroid (between the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of the Renaissance) was horrendous. The ancient Greeks KNEW, not thought, KNEW that the Earth was round. The average Roman citizen could even READ. That Europe took giant steps backward between the fall of the Empire and the beginning of the Renaissance is an indisputable fact that only a (very foolish) historical revisionist would stick his foot in.
Now, weapons technology DID advance, that's true. But it didn't stop advancing either. A Rapier would not have been practical with the metal-working techniques of the 800s, while it was decidedly practical by the 1800s. Nor is shoddy workmanship a distinguishing characteristic of the modern era. Incompetence and fraud were every bit as prevalent then as now. It is as foolish to fall into the worship of our ancestors' craftsmanship as it is to deride it.
At some point, the civilizations focused on China *were* more advanced than their western counterparts. They watched the stars and recorded what they saw. They knew how to read. They forged weapons of the finest steel and wrote some of the most enduring and accurate works on the practice of warfare while westerners were still so addled they didn't realise they would HAVE to throw off Catholic orthodoxy before they could regain all that they had lost.
Only AFTER the Renaissance, with the correct and deliberate practice of science, did Europe get ahead.
But Europe DID get ahead, and it didn't take long. By Weyrth's period, the West and East should be more or less on par, but this is a state that will not last long (in historical, not game, terms.)
It is unrealistic to think of someone swinging a sword for hours. This would be impossible, were a sword a feather. You can't even perform the motions with your arms alone for that long. BATTLES lasted days, but individual ENGAGEMENTS are a matter of minutes or seconds. Then, today, forever. They simply CANNOT last any longer. Thus the value of the reserve.
The Katana is NOT superior to a Western sword, but neither is it identical to one. It has its own strengths and weaknesses and its own methods for use.
So ye wanna go earnin' yer keep with yer sword, and ye think that it can't be too hard...

[quote"Bob Richter"]The Katana is NOT superior to a Western sword, but neither is it identical to one. It has its own strengths and weaknesses and its own methods for use.[/quote]
My point exactly.
Suggested Katana Stats:
ATN 5
ST + 2 damage, -2 vs. metal armors
ST dam, or mayble ST +1
DTN 7 (katanas were never meant for real intense parrying, as I understand it)
This is all based on my limited but otherwise solid understanding of a katana. Katana would have its own proficiency that would consist of:
Thrust (1?)
Counter (2 or 3?)
Iai (a quick-draw maneuver that I wrote for TFOB)
and maybe a few others.
Fighting with the wakizashi simultaneously was a rare thing, practiced by the (let's face it) partially mythological Myamoto Musashi and not many others. I would suppose, however, that someone with the katana could use the wak. at no default penalty, lumping them in together. A daisho proficiency--separate from katana--would cover Musashi's style.

I'm afraid I disagree. Metalworking has a substantially longer, and more importantly coherent, history in the far east than it does in the west. Hugely so. Chinese archeology has revealed bronze swords constructed around a steel core in the region of 2000 years old, IIRC, and still shaveable sharp. I am not aware of ANY comparable metalworking anywhere else. Far eastern matallurgy is not just different, its very different, and the properties attributed to it do not IMO come from romanticism. I also don't think that the european combatant was much of a match for his far eastern opposite number; the social histories are very distinct and produce distinct specialisations.

I'm afraid I disagree. Metalworking has a substantially longer, and more importantly coherent, history in the far east than it does in the west.
From "Ancient Greece: From Prehistoric to Hellenistic Times" by Thomas Martin, pg 14:
Radiocarbon dates further suggest that European metalsmiths developed copper metallurgy independently from Near Eastern metalsmiths because it shows this technology developing in various European locations around the same time as in the Near East. By the fourth millennium B.C., for instance, smiths in the Balkans were casting copper ax heads with the hole for the ax handle in the correct position...The European Bronze Age...therefore commenced at approximately the same date as the Near Eastern Bronze Age
[Assume all typos to be my own.] I'm not aware of the numbers for the Chinese Bronze Age, but it's hard to be "substantially longer" than the 4th millennium B.C.
This is a misconception, and I challenge you to document it. The europeans advanced on many fronts throughout the feudal period. No one disagreed with Columbus that the earth was round - they argued how big it was. The silly part was that Columbus was wrong, but luckily there was an extra couple of continents there for him to land on. :-)
I suggest everyone read "Cathedral, Forge, and Waterwheel" by Frances & Joseph Gies.
Btw, I'm not arguing that the all is European, nothing came from china, etc. But the concept that Europe was an empty wasteland of the mind until someone screwed in a new lightbulb in 1500 A.D. is plain silly.
Valamir
Thanks Jeff. The "Barbarian West" is one of those myths that has become so ingrained that its extremely difficult to combat. Sure there were set backs, there are set backs whenever looting and pillaging occurs on a large scale, no one would claim that culture and science advanced in a smooth line from Rome to Renaissance...but the idea that it took a 1000 year hiatus is equally wrong.

[quote="Jaif]
Note that I said "coherent". Sure, greece develops metalworking - but greece as a polity is not around continuously. Other states produce metalworking, some borrowed, some invented. But what is completely different is the social context in which an eastern society, more stable and much more coherent, is able to maintain and disseminate this knowlegde. There is no equivalent in the west. Furthermore, there is another separate and autocthonous metalworking tradition among the northern "nomads".
By contrast, Rome has the most sophisticated technology in western history until the industrial revolution. Its an open question as to whether mediaeval metalworkers even matched the achievements of greece or rome, let alone china. There simply is no equivalent history of accumulated knowledge and technique, becuase there is no equivalently stable polity.
Lance D. Allen
Except for the focus on thrust. I think Mike is on the right track. The japanese blades were cutting weapons, and any sort of thrust was uncommon and took skill and technique to do properly. I think the weapons should be modified from the longsword/arming sword and short sword stats, and a new proficiency made to cover these differences.

I don't know how you can claim that medieval weapon/armorsmithing could be inferior to classical roman/greek stuff, but let's take a look at the peak armors and weapons.
Greece: Bronze breastplates and helmets.
Rome: Light armor made mostly of Bronze.
Medieval Germany: Steel plate heavy armors.
Japan: Bamboo, with iron reinforcing bars.
Greece: Spears.
Rome: Javelins and short swords. Also note huge tower shields.
Medieval Germany: Doppelhanders, pikes, greatswords, bastard swords, flails, warhammers, etc.
Japan: Katana.
If you ask me, the armors are not even a comparison. Medieval germany had good armor, and nobody else did. The weapons are harder to compare, but I think that Japan and Medieval Germany had the best weapons. Japanese weapons are extremely effective against non-metal armors and unarmored individuals, but the medieval weapons are effective whether the target is armored or not.
Note that I said "coherent". Sure, greece develops metalworking - but greece as a polity is not around continuously.
Eh? If you're saying that name "Greece" didn't remain at the top of the heap for long, I guess I agree. But western civilization is a blend of numerous cultures, and Greek is certainly one of them. For that matter, the Byzantine Empire, which survived to the end of the middle ages, was basically a Greek empire.
What's fascinating to me was that the Celts had iron long before the Chinese, and used it to settle a wide range of area from Ireland to Turkey (Galatia). Of course, in the process they kinda ticked off the Romans by invading, which proved to be a bit of mistake when the Romans decided to make a return visit. :-)
By contrast, Rome has the most sophisticated technology in western history until the industrial revolution.
No. Rome mustered more manpower, and had a larger scale than anything the west did, but more sophisticated? Absolutely not.
I don't want to go too far down this road - it's rather silly, IMO, arguing whose culture discovered X first, when the odds are we don't really know the truth because we only go by what we dig up. It's also dumb because it's very hard to seperate the Europeans from the Middle East - there was a lot of back & forth there.
But I will say this: saying that the Europeans had no substantial scientific progress for hundreds of years and then suddenly decided to figure it all out when the clock struck 1500 is utterly silly.
Hmm. Interesting. I wouldn't go so far as to say that Europe had no scientific progress, but, let's admit that they weren't up to par with their contemporaries in many fields. When Grenada was "liberated" from the Moors in 1492, there were hundreds of thousands of books in the city, more than people. As opposed to most Eurpopean cities which may have had one or two "libraries" with a book or two. A dozen books was about the limit in the vast majority of places.
What happened to all those books in Grenada? They were burnt. In fact, if it weren't for an exception to this practice, in Toledo a century or so earlier, there would have been no major libraries in Europe at the time. As it was, the library at Toledo was important enough to transform that city into center of learning.
No, the Europeans were not completely backwards, and a few monks here and there had managed to salvage a few books. But they had nothing in most sciences on the arabs to say nothing of the far east. It wouldn't be until the seventeenth century that even an semblance of parity in learning came about.
But this is all moot. We are talking armor and weapons, here, not algebra (from the arabic al-gebr) or astronomy (the Mayans were kicking everyone's ass in this until they dissappeared), or statesmanship that allowed for large countries (China proper was at no time less than ten times the population of Europe, and at times fifty times larger). No, the Europeans were good at one thing, really. Killin'. Not to say that they killed barbarically, they often killed each other in great splendor and gallantry. But they killed each other nonetheless. Mostly a matter of the interesting geography of Europe that makes languages and cultures fractured over short distances. Blame the Romans, too, for starting it all with the Imperial Attitude.
This is not to say that other cultures never fought, BTW, just that for them it was an occasional passtime instead of a full time occupation. :-)
In any case, along with killing comes weaponry technology. Neccessity is the mother of invention, and the Europeans felt it a necessity to wage war. And as such this particular technology did not suffer. Just when they would look to be falling behind, A king Richard would go off to the mideast and come back knowing how to make the better steel that his men had been run through with. These foreign ventures kept the Europeans at least at a par with others in terms of weaponry. But nobody needed armor like the nobility of the west, and given this need it should be obvious to anyone who's ever seen a suit of Maximillian plate that the Europeans new how to make a man invulnerable on the field of battle.
Tell me that folks who can make that stuff, can't make a good sword.
Just my ten cents.
Quote from: Mike Holmes
I'm not sure the European historical record is particularly violent by historical standards, as it happens. I would not challenge whether or not European smiths could make useful, effective weaponry; but whether they were equivalent to the pedigree of Eastern metallurgy is, at the very least, highly dubious IMO.
Mike makes an excellent point. Science and culture and practical know how are two completely different things.
We see a similiar seperation in ship building. It wasn't until the 19th century where the "rule of measure" began to replace the "rule of thumb" when it came to making ships. For the centuries prior craftsman with (by comparison) only the crudest of plans and no mathamatical rules to speak of crafted ships that were at the time the most ocean worthy vessels ever constructed. They didn't need engineering science to do this, they needed only generation after generation of tradition to direct their craft. Nor did this mean they were hidebound to the past as anyone who's ever traced the remarkable evolution of sailing vessles will see the innovation was nothing short of spectacular.
Having studied this in some detail it is quite easy for me to acknowledge a similiar tradition of remarkable craftsmanship and innovation existed among armorers who didn't need to understand the metalurigical science behind what they were doing in order to create remarkable tools
Quote from: Jaif
Noone is saying that European culture stagnated from 500 AD to 1500 AD, when suddenly everything changed. That WOULD be silly. For one thing, the Renaissance began rather earlier than 1500, and for another it was hardly an overnight thing.
Some people DID disagree with Columbus: the common sailors who manned his ships. They, at the very least, were afraid of sailing off the edge of the world. Columbus was himself a renaissance explorer, and (of course!) the learned renaissance men of his time were unlikely to disagree about the shape of the world, but the "flat world" conception still largely held sway among the common people, as it had among even noblemen and scholars in times not too far previous.
That the Roman Catholic Church surpressed learning and knowledge is a truly indisputable fact. Nicholas Copernicus was put to death for his views (which turned out to be more correct) of the universe. Galileo Galilei died under house arrest because he said he saw spots on the sun. And this was at the beginning of the Renaissance!
Aside of a new wave of revisionist history, it has never been doubted (certainly not by the people of the period...!) that much was lost in the gap between the fall of the empire and the renaissance. Had it NOT been so impressive, do you honestly think the people of the time would have been so impressed with it?
