Birth of a nation ... and a town
For many years, the citizens of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and a group of people living in an area comprised of small parts of Wrentham, Walpole, Stoughton and Stoughtonham were on parallel paths.

Football fans always go out of their way to cheer for their favorite team. They give all their best in chanting and making their voices heard by the players. The players would, in return, have more motivation to make a goal. Players make the crowd go wild, while the crowd gives these athletes immeasurable drive. Knowing how fanatic these people can be, they wouldn't settle just watching their favorite players, they would want more than that, and that is to grab a signed football memorabilia. What is the origin of this craze?

The Game called Football

Have you ever asked yourself how the sport started? Football originated in China during the 3rd century. A pastime wherein the person had to kick a leather ball to make it pass through about a 40cm opening is believed to have started it. After 6 centuries, the Aztecs played tlatchi. There are many groups of people who claim that the game originated from their place. These are the Greeks, British, Romans, and even the Italians. Yes, they all probably played it: with different rules and in different ways, but all with the same goal of kicking the ball and hitting the target. No matter who, when, and where football originated from, the fans don't really care that much. All they want is to enjoy and support their teams. They would be, in all probability, thanking these ancient people for inventing this game called football.

Collections of signed football memorabilia started in the 20th century. Football fanatics would try to get memorabilia from the games they watched. Before, game enthusiasts were content to have their favorite players sign their autograph book. Nowadays, they would do anything to get the players sign on different sorts of memento, like shirts, caps, boots, or balls. Nevertheless, it is just so shocking to see how signed football memorabilia would sometimes cost too much.

Sword Brass

Angeline – clocks from Slovenia
Matej Zorec was born in Ljubljana in 1969. After graduating from the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty of Architecture in 1999, he has worked as an independent creator, graphic designer, industrial designer and architect of exhibitions and showrooms.

Owning a gun is a right but sword collecting is an art. There are plenty of Hollywood movies that use sword play in their action scenes but knowing where the steel came from is the research that many who deem themselves collectors always want to find out.

Japanese Samurai swords are the most popular of choice but sometimes the rarer swords have more history behind them. Take for instance the 32.25 inch replica Ancient King of Yue sword with brass handle; it's not like other swords because its dull steel finish and distinctive handle make it stand out among those with a careful eye.

The history behind the Ancient King of Yue dates back to 496 BC when King Goujian defeated the Wu State in a battle that allowed him to self-appoint as the ruler of Yue. The sword is an archeological artifact and the ancient text on the side consists of eight characters. It has been deciphered to read that the sword belonged to King Goujian of Yue and was made for his personal use.

The swords materials were broken down to show the main composition because when it was discovered it was in water where it had been for two thousand years and it was literally still recognizable. It consists of 80% copper and roughly 20% tin; this allowed it to be sturdy enough not to break.

It also has some iron and lead combined with the tin and with those combinations archeologists knew what made it such a lethal weapon. The scabbard that houses it was air tight and helped to preserve the sword when not in use. The 32.25 inch replica Ancient King of Yue sword with brass handle is tarnish free which is a rare trait, many sword collectors notice this attribute and are drawn to this fact.

This sword is not only famous for its history or how it was made but for the sheer design it displays. Many of the artifacts from dynasties past were not preserved as well and only some parts remained. The sheer craftsmanship of the King of Yue Sword allows it to stand out because of the design and that it stays sharp all the time. Many who collect swords note the replication and all who study this copy marvel at its detail. If you have an eye for swords then this one has probably caught yours already.

The 32.25 inch replica Ancient King of Yue sword with brass handle also has a handle that is 6 1/8 inches long. It resists tarnish and the scabbard is intricately detailed to show the brass fittings so its beauty can be viewed from the outside until the sword is unsheathed.

The solid steel blade and brass handle make it a beautiful display and much more than any conversation piece you might have hanging on your walls. It's best to examine it on line so you can see the incredible detail based on the original which is currently on display in the Hubei Provincial Museum in the People's Republic of China.

War Union

Research gives 4 Union soldiers their identities back
YORKTOWN -- Two-thirds of the Civil War dead at Yorktown National Cemetery are buried under marble markers indicating that the tombs contain the remains of unknown soldiers. Although a few Confederate soldiers are interred there, the overwhelming number of the burials are of Union soldiers.

The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) serves the DoD community as the largest central resource for DoD and government-funded scientific, technical, engineering, and business related information available today. Originally developed in World War II as a resource on enemy technology, the DTIC has morphed into a valuable, if underutilized tool, for understanding the technology bases for enemy attacks.

Publicly Accessible Information

Authorized visitors can search DTIC's publicly accessible collections and read or download scientific and technical information, using DTIC Online service. DTIC also makes available sensitive and classified information to eligible users who register for DTIC services.

The DTIC consists of a large relational data base coupled with convenient and powerful Information Analysis Centers (IAC's) that mange issue related searches and updates/maintenance to the database. An Information Assurance/Cyber security Information Analysis Center (IATAC) is one of the more recent efforts and offers valuable information and tools for researchers.

Scientific and Technical Information Network - The Heart of DTIC

The Scientific and Technical Information Network (STINET) is a database that contains data and information for various defense-related research reports. The database raw material contains reports on a topics ranging from science and engineering to Information Assurance/Cyber Security from a large number of sources. Users can research the latest cyber security technology, laws and standards, new products and a wealth of relevant, timely information.

There are various levels of access to STINET.

· The public database is available to the general public regarding unclassified documents with an unlimited distribution.

· A private database has a private URL that allows for searches to be made for unclassified material with limited distribution.

· The classified database contains Confidential and Secret documents, in addition to the unclassified material.

· Finally, there is a hard copy DVD that contains material only for unclassified, confidential, and secret documents.

All levels of STINET access contain material from the 1900s to present but potential users are security screened as part of the user qualification process.

Information Analysis Centers - The Front End for Researchers of Scientific and Technical Information (STI)

DTIC Information Analysis Centers, or IACs, are organizations that are charted by the DoD and operated by DTIC with the mission of helping researchers and other interested parties. IACs provide free answers to simple questions and projects, while also allowing their services to be utilized for extended projects and Technical Area Tasks (TATs).

The Information Assurance Technology Analysis Center (IATAC), an IAC that focuses on Cyber Security issues, provides the Department of Defense (DoD) and related agencies with existing, historic and emerging scientific and technical information (STI) to support Cyber Security/information assurance (IA) and defensive information operations.

This information includes technologies, tools, and associated techniques for detection of, protection against, reaction to, and recovery from information warfare and cyber attacks that target information, information-based processes, information systems (IS), and information technology (IT) in the DOD and related agencies.

The STI products and services resulting from IATAC efforts are intended to increase the productivity of Cyber Security researchers, as well asother concerned Cyber Security participants. This is accomplished through timely dissemination of authoritative, accurate, and high quality reports and answers to subject matter inquiries through the IATAC.

Underutilization - A Marketing Issue

As valuable as the database and services are to the Cyber Security community, the DTIC is relatively unknown. As a result, the IATAC is a valuable if underutilized resource. Although any party interested in the scientific or technical developments that underlie Cyber attacks or defenses can significantly benefit from the information developed, qualified and analyzed by DTIC and IATAC, awareness of the value of this asset is limited.

As an organization DTIC can benefit from better promotion and modern marketing to the DOD and related agencies. But the task, given the size of the community is daunting and will take significant effort in the coming years.

Airsoft is an endeavor that is used for recreation or military training and is similar to paintball. Paintball as you may be aware fires pellets from a special paintball gun which paints or stains a color on the clothing of the individual who is struck while airsoft pellets do not color the attire of the one who is smacked.

Airsoft war can be seen as being really close to tactical videogames such as the popular Counter-Strike or Call of Duty where teams compete against each other in an assortment of settings including Capture the Flag and bombing scenes. As airsoft is designed to be practical the weapons used are just about the same as real weapons in overall sizes and even in the amount of bullets per clip if you so wish. Though you may be able to find some paintball guns that are somewhat real-looking in dimensions often the weight and number of rounds that are available for paintball is what made it more likable and realistic for people. Whereas airsoft, though done by people is additionally the choice of police and military personnel for simulations and training.

Due to the fact that it is an activity not restricted to military personnel the sole difference between military and civilian airsoft is that different terms have been used for the different sorts of activities done in the game.

For realistic simulated events where tactical maneuvers, military attire, real or restricted ammunition are used and military or police personnel train, the term used is MilSim which is short for Military Simulation. Another term used is "skirmish" or "open day" where realism is usually put aside and allowances are made for things like high-capacity magazines and the use of any kind of camouflage attire is permitted. Another modification to airsoft war is dubbed Live Action Role Playing or LARP for short where additional rules are put in to make the setting somewhat alike to the videogames where rules about the number of hits to eliminate an opponent, armor and even more unrealistic enhancements like supernatural powers are endowed upon players.

Since airsoft pellets do not paint the target, players must depend on an honor-based system where the person who is shot will say that he or she has been shot and then move from the battlefield back to the safe zone. In order to keep from being shot by other players, the one that is moving back to the safe zone will typically take a flag, flashlight or beacon to say that he or she is no longer a part of the game or hold his/her weapon up over their head.

Airsoft pellets unlike other pellets additionally have bio-degradable types that can be used if players so choose. These bio-degradable rounds are intended to have little impact on the environment as opposed to the traditional plastic rounds which may be troublesome to pick up after a few rounds are played.

As airsoft war is close to tactical first-person shooter videogames it is often played by players of these games who wish to test their skills in real life, and because a similar environment to the ones in the videogames is what they desire to take part in these players and their teams may opt to play with Live Action Role Playing rules.

First Person Shooter or FPS videogames typically have a melee weapon that can be used to stealthily kill an opponent from behind or whenever your opponent's life points may be low; it has a similar melee rule with knifing where rubber or toy knives are used.

Enfield Snider Sword

The name Aztec Macuahuitl Sword is sort of a misnomer. It's more of a Battle Weapon that is shaped kind of like a wooden sword but not exactly like one. They have prismatic blades that are made with obsidian. Prismatic Blades are long and narrow with parallel margins. These Prismatic Blades are all up and down the weapon, and would cause very deep lascerating cuts in battle. Obsidian is a type of Volcanic Glass that is formed into a hardened rock. Obsidian was often used to make tools by the early Aztecs.

This weapon typically had 10 blades, 5 columns and 2 rows. Think of a circular pole with one blade on each end, the 5 vertically in the same place to give you an idea of how this weapon was constructed. The Aztec Military regime of the 16th century and other factions of central Mexico used this weapon frequently. This weapon is also commonly referred to as a sword or club, but it's not truly equivalent to a European Weapon of a similar type.

The Aztec Macuahuitl Sword is about 3-4 feet in length, and about 3 inches in diameter.

The sharpened pieces of Obsidian were held in place by an adhesive compound. Sometimes the rows of Obsidian Blades were placed perfectly uniform, but on some weapons they were random and didn't adhere to a perfect pattern. Some of these Battle Weapons had one handed grips, and others had two handed grips and were made to be used with both hands.

Some of the two handed Aztec Macuahuitl Swords were as long as a man standing up. The Macuahuitl was sharp enough to cut off a mans head. Rumor has it that one could even take off the head of a horse. So in all retrospect this weapon was as powerful as any sword. The drawback of using one was that it took longer to swing the club than it did to deliver a thrust or swing with the sword. Aztec Warriors had to spread out in Battle Formations since they needed more room to swing the weapon.

The last known Authentic Aztec Macuahuitl Sword was destroyed in 1884. There could be a few more out there passed down by geneaology, but it's not public knowledge.

SpringfieldSpringfield Jan Luparell The “Springfield Mile” was first run in 1937; Lester Hillbish of Reading, PA won that race on an Indian. I wonder what he would think of the track, riders and the machines that race here now. The Mile is the most historic and prestigious motorcycle race in dirt track. It also holds the distinction of being the fastest flat track in the world. 1983 saw a change come to the mile, previously only run once a year, it now became a twice a year event, each Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend, drawing fans from around the world. Imagine going over 100 mph, turn left, repeat 100 times, in dirt, on two wheels and you get an idea of what...
