  • Choosing Butterfly Swords by Jeffrey D
    Choosing Butterfly Swords By Jeffrey D. Modell, Esq. and Aaron Cantrell September 6, 2013 Many Chinese martial arts use “Butterfly Swords,” but they are the jewel of the Wing Chun system. Practitioners who reach their level of study are expected to practice intensely, thoughtfully and achieve an understanding that recursively improves their empty hand abilities. Butterfly Swords are a variety of Chinese saber with only one edge sharpened, a blade wider than that of the typical two- edged long sword and a specializeD-Guard. The single edge and wide blade categorize them firmly as “Dao” (“Do” in Cantonese), a term that commonly means knife. Below are a few different words you may want to take note of for the purposes of this article: Hudiedao – Butterfly Swords or Butterfly Knives Baat Jaam Do (& variations on spelling) – Wing Chun Butterfly Swords/Knives (Eight Slash/Cut Swords/Knives) Butterfly swords and especially Baat Jaam Do (“BJD”) are not a one size fits all item. Each style and lineage emphasizes different techniques. The swords must be designed to accommodate and facilitate those movements. Some schools require a weapon based on tradition regardless of whether or not it is appropriate for today’s usage. Individuals develop personal preferences, and each set of swords would ideally be fitted to the specific person’s body. There are a lot of low quality swords on the market. They are not, and do not behave, like the true weapons they seek to imitate. To gain proficiency and understanding of Wing Chun movements, you need BJD that have the weight and feel of the weapons your techniques are designed for.

    medicine and biomedical sciences in modern history sciences modern in biomedical and medicine BELLY-RIPPERS, SURGICAL INNOVATION AND THE OVARIOTOMY CONTROVERSY SALLY FRAMPTON Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Modern History Series Editors Carsten Timmermann University of Manchester Manchester, UK Michael Worboys University of Manchester Manchester, UK The aim of this series is to illuminate the development and impact of medicine and the biomedical sciences in the modern era. The series was founded by the late Professor John Pickstone, and its ambitions refect his commitment to the integrated study of medicine, science and tech- nology in their contexts. He repeatedly commented that it was a pity that the foundation discipline of the feld, for which he popularized the acronym ‘HSTM’ (History of Science, Technology and Medicine) had been the history of science rather than the history of medicine. His point was that historians of science had too often focused just on scientifc ideas and institutions, while historians of medicine always had to consider the understanding, management and meanings of diseases in their socio-economic, cultural, technological and political contexts. In the event, most of the books in the series dealt with medicine and the biomedical sciences, and the changed series title refects this. However, as the new editors we share Professor Pickstone’s enthusiasm for the inte- grated study of medicine, science and technology, encouraging studies on biomedical science, translational medicine, clinical practice, disease histories, medical technologies, medical specialisms and health policies. The books in this series will present medicine and biomedical science as crucial features of modern culture, analysing their economic, social and political aspects, while not neglecting their expert content and con- text.

  • The Historical Evolution of Arms and Armor: the European Arming Sword and Japanese Uchigatana
    The Historical Evolution of Arms and Armor: The European Arming Sword and Japanese Uchigatana An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science By Brendan Corcoran Christopher Francis Colby Jensen Kevin Piskorowski David Van Sickle Date: May 13, 2021 Report Submitted to: Professor Diana A. Lados This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on the web without editorial or peer review. ABSTRACT The late medieval period of Europe (1250-1500 AD) and the Kamakura Period of Japan (1185- 1333 AD) were both eras defined by perpetual conflict and warfare. As a result, a rich history of weapons and armor was developed. The sword was one such weapon that saw widespread use in combat. This project seeks to investigate two specific swords, the European arming sword and the Japanese uchigatana. The factors that led to these swords’ demand and forging processes used to create them will be revealed with a thorough exploration of the historical context. Additionally, replicas of both an arming sword and uchigatana will be fabricated in a historically representative manner. An analysis of the design, forging process, and materials science aspects will be considered to compare these two swords, originating from two vastly different regions of the world in a similar time of unrest. 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The team would like to first thank Professor Diana Lados for involving us with this multifaceted and in-depth learning experience.

  • Innovation and Ovarian Surgery in Britain 1740-1920
    'The Most Startling Innovation': Ovarian Surgery in Britain, c.1740-1939. Sally Frampton PhD History of Medicine UCL 2013 P a g e | 2 I, Sally Frampton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: __________________________ Date: ____________________________ P a g e | 3 Abstract Ovarian surgery was a topic of considerable interest to European surgeons during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the 1830s extirpation of the diseased ovary became the first major abdominal procedure to come into use in Britain and in 1843 the term ‘ovariotomy’ was coined to describe the procedure. Yet the operation’s ‘establishment’ was fraught with anxieties that went to the heart of surgical morality. Alternatively framed as a triumphant episode of surgical progress and a symbol of Victorian surgeons’ attempts to ‘control’ female patients with brutal and unnecessary surgery, this thesis adopts a different approach by considering what ovarian surgery can tell us about innovation. With the procedure at its centre, this thesis traces the intricacies particular to negotiating novelty in operative surgery, and how the use of ovariotomy raised significant questions regarding risk, responsibility, credit, economics and surgical language. What emerges is a history that challenges not only previous historicization of ovarian surgery, but also histories of innovation which imagine novel products as stable entities and the innovation process as one that follows a linear pattern. Ovarian surgery, on the contrary, followed no such pattern. At the heart of the debate – and at the heart of this thesis – is the question of definition.

  • THE INFLUENCE of WEAPONS and ARMORS BETWEEN PERSIA, INDIA, and GREECE DURING the IRON AGE an Interactive Qualifying Project Repo
    THE INFLUENCE OF WEAPONS AND ARMORS BETWEEN PERSIA, INDIA, AND GREECE DURING THE IRON AGE An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Noor Ali Gabriel R. Diaz James McLaughlin Laura Murray Date: May 3, 2012 Submitted to: Professor Diana A. Lados Mr. Tom H. Thomsen ABSTRACT Our project focused on the history, military tactics, and weaponry used during the time from 550 BC to 300 BC in which India, Persia, and Greece were in contact with one another due to the wars waged in pursuit of expansion. These three nations all eventually came under Alexander the Great’s reign. We examined each nation’s weapons, armor, and military strategies that evolved as a result of their warring and competition for power and control of land. This project was supplemented with the creation of a Kopis sword from the Iron Age because it is a Greek sword that heavily influenced other swords used by India and Persia. The sword was built using techniques as close as possible to those of the time period in an effort to immerse ourselves in the culture and experience the craft and methods that were utilized in making weaponry for war. We worked in conjunction with our partner group to update a pre-existing website containing all information on our projects that was originally created by an IQP group from the previous year.
