Women's exclusion from Sabarimala based on menstrual age is untouchability: Chandrachud
By PTI News
Bengaluru, First Published Sep 29, 2018, 4:42 PM IST
Justice Chandrachud's judgement concurred with the majority verdict of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices R F Nariman and A M Khanwilkar who set aside the centuries-old practice of barring entry of women of ages 10 to 50 into the temple, saying it was illegal and unconstitutional.
Exclusion of women, based on age or menstrual status, from entering Kerala's Sabarimala temple is a form of "untouchability" which places them in a "subordinate" position, perpetuated "patriarchy" and is "derogatory to their dignity", Justice D Y Chandrachud said Friday in his verdict allowing them entry to the shrine.
Justice Indu Malhotra, the lone woman judge of the five-member bench, however, dissented with the majority view.
Women, of menstruating ages, were barred from entry to places of worship, including Sabarimala, on the basis of two Travancore Devaswom Board notifications of October 1955 and November 1956, which were in 1992 upheld by the Kerala High Court, as well as Rule 3(b) of the Kerala Hindu Places of Public Worship (Authorization of Entry) Rules 1965.
Justice Chandrachud, while setting aside the two notifications and rule, said exclusion of women on "notions of impurity and pollution" associated with menstruation was a form of untouchability, which was prohibited under Article 17 of the Constitution, and an "anathema to constitutional values".
He said that Article 17 certainly applies to untouchability practices in relation to lower castes, but it will also apply to the systemic humiliation, exclusion and subjugation faced by women.
"Prejudice against women based on notions of impurity and pollution associated with menstruation is a symbol of exclusion. The social exclusion of women, based on menstrual status, is but a form of untouchability which is an anathema to constitutional values," he said.
Chandrachud further said that to "exclude women from worship by allowing the right to worship to men is to place women in a position of subordination" and "the Constitution, should not become an instrument for the perpetuation of patriarchy".
He also said that a physiological feature associated with a woman cannot provide a constitutional rationale to deny her the right to worship which is available to others.
Justice Chandrachud, in his separate concurring verdict of 165 pages, went on to add that practices which destroy liberty and make some citizens less equal than others "can simply not be countenanced".
"To treat women as children of a lesser god is to blink at the Constitution itself. To allow practices derogatory to the dignity of a woman in matters of faith and worship would permit a conscious breach of the fundamental duties of every citizen. We cannot adopt an interpretation of the Constitution which has such an effect," he said.
The Devaswom Board and others, arguing for continuing the bar on menstruating women from entering Sabarimala, had contended that it was a centuries-old practice and that the shrine was a denominational temple and therefore, entitled to set its own rules and regulations.
Rejecting the contentions, Justice Chandrachud said even the Kerala High Court had noted that women were allowed entry into the temple before coming of the notifications and for several years even after that and observed that it demonstrated that the practice of excluding women was not uniform.
On the issue of the shrine being a denominational temple, the judge said a "distinctive feature" of the pilgrimage to Sabarimala was that pilgrims of all religions participate in the pilgrimage on an equal footing and therefore, the collective cannot claim to be regarded as a "religious denomination".
He also rejected the claim that the "main reason" for exclusion of women from entry into the temple was the "arduous nature of the journey" which could not be completed by them due to physiological reasons, saying this "falls foul of the requirement that a practice claiming constitutional protection must be on strictly religious grounds".
"Of significant importance, is that such a claim is deeply rooted in a stereotypical and constitutionally flawed notion that women are the weaker sex and may not undertake tasks that are too arduous for them. This paternalistic approach is contrary to constitutional guarantee of equality and dignity to women," he said, adding that "it is inconceivable that age could found a rational basis to condition the right to worship".
Another argument forwarded to support the bar on women's entry into the temple was that those of ages 10-50 were in the procreative age.
Rejecting the contention, the judge said, "All women in the age group of 10-50 may not in any case fall in procreative age group. To exclude women is derogatory to an equal citizenship."
He also dismissed the argument that since celibacy was a requirement for all the followers, women between the ages of ten and fifty must not be allowed in Sabarimala, saying "there is an assumption here, which cannot stand constitutional scrutiny".
The assumption in such a claim is that a deviation from the celibacy and austerity observed by the followers would be caused by the presence of women, he said, adding that such a claim cannot be sustained as a constitutionally sustainable argument.
"Its effect is to impose the burden of a man's celibacy on a woman and construct her as a cause for deviation from celibacy.
"This is then employed to deny access to spaces to which women are equally entitled. To suggest that women cannot keep the 'vratham' (penance) is to stigmatize them and stereotype them as being weak and lesser human beings. A constitutional court such as this one, must refuse to recognize such claims," he said.

Q: React JS multiple API calls, data undefined or unexpected reserved word 'await' mapping through the data: I'm creating a JS function that will make a call to an API, loop through the returned data and perform another call to retrieve more information about the initial data (for example where the first call return an ID, the second call would return the name/address/number the ID corresponds to). Positioning the async and await keywords though, have proven to be way more challenging than I imagined:
 useEffect(() => {
    const getAppointments = async () => {
        try {
          const { data } = await fetchContext.authAxios.get('/appointments/' + auth.authState.id);

        const updatedData = await data.map(value => {
            const { data } = fetchContext.authAxios.get('/customerID/' + value.customerID);
              return {
                ...value, // de-structuring
                customerID: data
                }
            }
        );

        setAppointments(updatedData);
        } catch (err) {
            console.log(err);
        }
    };

    getAppointments();
    }, [fetchContext]);

Everything get displayed besides the customerID, that results undefined. I tried to position and add the async/await keywords in different places, nothing works. What am I missing?

A: map returns an array, not a promise. You need to get an array of promises and then solve it (also, if your way worked, it would be inefficient waitting for a request to then start the next one.)
const promises = data.map(async (value) => {
  const { data } = await fetchContext.authAxios.get('/customerID/' + value.customerID);
  return {
    ...value,
    customerID: data
  };
});

const updatedData = await Promise.all(promises);

Damp and condensation issues can be a real hassle in any home, but there are certain additional considerations for heritage buildings. In this blog post we will take a look at how to correctly identify and treat damp and condensation issues in older buildings.
Damp and condensation is a problem that can affect any building, old or new and has a wide range of causes from damaged and leaking roofs and walls, to insufficient insulation, poor ventilation and the use of incorrect buildings materials over generations of extensions and refurbishments. Excess moisture in the home can cause a lot of concern to the homeowner as they're all too aware of the potential damage that it can cause to the building fabric and finishes as well as the health impacts it can have. But it's also easy to become overly concerned and rush into taking the wrong approach to dealing with damp and this can cause further issues and even greater damage.
It's common for homeowners to be uncertain of what the cause of damp and condensation is in their home, unsure of the severity of the problem and of how to tackle the problem. This can lead to homeowners commissioning ineffective, inappropriate or even damaging remedial work. In this blog we'll be taking a look at the main considerations when dealing with damp and condensation and how to tackle this in a heritage home.
Rising damp is caused by capillary action. This is where moisture from the ground moves up through the walls in opposition to gravity. Ground water is drawn up through the tiny spaces within permeable building materials such as brick or stone. The moisture will dissolve soluble salts from the building materials and may also carry soluble salts from the ground. It is most commonly seen at the base of walls and the 'tide mark' at the limit of its extent is caused by these soluble salts which can become visible as white salt efflorescence as the wall dries. Rising damp is one of the most talked about types of damp but is relatively rare and is frequently misdiagnosed, leading to expensive, ineffective and often damaging treatment methods.
Penetrating damp is caused by a failure of the external fabric of a building which leads to water ingress. It tends to happen as a result of structural problems, such as faulty guttering or roofing, or cracks in external walls. The water that passes through saturates the depth of the wall, often becoming contaminated from contact with the building fabric and then leaving brown staining on the internal surface. It is a relatively common cause of damp and generally occurs in older buildings but can occur in properties of any age and at any level of the building. Issues seen at high level are most likely to be penetrating damp, but even at the base of a wall it is still more likely to be penetrating damp rather than rising damp.
Condensation is caused when warm, moist air meets a surface (or air) of a lower temperature. Where the two temperatures collide, the warm air loses its ability to hold moisture and the moisture it can no longer hold is deposited (condenses) onto the cold surface. A good example of this is windows. Double and triple glazing reduces condensation on windows by keeping the surface temperature of the glass warmer, but windows are still generally cold surfaces and so attract condensation. This isn't to say that condensation only occurs on windows. Moisture will condense on other cool surfaces, particularly adjoining wall surfaces and ceilings. It can even form within the wall itself. This is known as interstitial condensation and often occurs behind modern interventions, such as drylining or insulation. Condensation is often associated with other forms of damp that might cause the external walls to be cold or introduce additional moisture to the inside of a building. Condensation is characterised by black mould growth and is an increasing problem for UK homeowners as increased energy efficiency through improved airtightness has reduced natural ventilation.
The most serious consequence of damp is harm to the fabric of the building. Timber, especially, can suffer significant damage if wet rot (infestation from fungal species) and wood-bring beetles take hold. This can lead to extensive damage and can eventually lead to the timber losing its strength and, in the worse cases, even cause structural failure. Masonry (brick, block and stone) is much less at risk, but will still deteriorate in prolonged or extreme damp conditions.
The next big issue is a significant decrease in thermal performance. A damp building loses approximately 30% more heat through its walls compared to a dry building. This has a big impact on the comfort of living spaces and can lead to increased energy bills as heating must work harder against the cold, damp conditions.
Water condensing on cold surfaces such as windows, walls and ceilings can lead to condensation-driven black mould growth. The spores released by the mould can be very harmful to human health.
The most visibly obvious effect of damp is unpleasant staining and degradation of internal decorative finishes. Whilst annoying to the homeowner, this must be of least concern as it doesn't have consequences for the structural integrity of the building or the health, comfort and wellbeing of its occupants.
Internal symptoms are vital indicators of the presence of damp, but it's important not to assume these are the main problems to overcome.
To understand and be able to deal with damp in a heritage home it is essential to understand how the building works, particularly in terms of managing moisture. Before the advent of cavity walls, vapour barriers and impermeable building materials that are all used in modern buildings, moisture was managed very differently.
Before about 1919, houses were built from permeable materials with solid walls and no damp proof course or membranes. Older buildings manage moisture by absorption and evaporation, and this was generally aided using open fires. Water from rain, the ground and airborne moisture generated from the building's occupants were all absorbed into the fabric of the building where it could move freely through its surface and readily evaporate through the permeable finish. This is referred to as 'breathability' and is one of the main features that stands out heritage homes from modern buildings. Permeable materials maintained a balanced equilibrium that prevented the building from becoming damp.
The system works well so long as routes for absorption and evaporation remain unimpeded. Problems arise when modern materials are introduced to the system – vapour barriers, damp proof membranes, impervious plasters, renders and paints – and the building can no longer 'breathe' and naturally expel moisture. The introduction of such modern materials breaks the system by disrupting routes for absorption and evaporation and this can result in serious damp problems.
One of the biggest mistakes when dealing with damp and condensation in a heritage house is to focus on the kind of damp that's present. This is simply a symptom of an underlying cause. It is very common for unnecessary and often damaging remedial work to be carried out to treat the symptoms and not the root cause of the problem – this can be very expensive for the homeowner. The only way to effectively deal with damp is to identify where the water is coming from and the mechanisms involved. This can be a complex issue as damp and condensation can be caused by many factors. Below are some of the most common causes.
Gutters and downpipes are a very common cause of damp. Inadequate, poorly maintained or leaking gutters can channel large amounts of rainwater and concentrate it on one part of a wall. Even small leaks or gaps can generate a surprisingly large amount of water. It's also surprisingly common for downpipes to empty at the base of walls rather than into a surface drain.
Cement renders are a fine example of modern impervious materials. Using impervious materials such as cement will disrupt its ability to 'breathe' and prevent absorption and evaporation from occurring. Cement renders are especially problematic for heritage homes as they are rigid and inflexible and incompatible with the softer permeable construction materials that make up the underlying building fabric. The result is that the render cracks as it cannot accommodate this movement and then lets in rainwater that becomes trapped behind the impervious cement render.
Modern floors are a further example of compromising breathability. Replacing a breathable solid floor, such as brick or stone, with an impermeable material such as solid concrete (with a damp-proof membrane) will prevent rising ground water from evaporating through the structure. Instead, when water hits the impermeable barrier, it migrates sideways into the base of the wall, which then becomes damp.
Raised ground is another common cause and can be hard to rectify. The external ground level should always be lower than the internal floor. If it isn't, water contained in the soil will penetrate the wall above the internal floor level, causing it to become damp. Hard landscaping will exacerbate the problem as this tends to pool rainwater against the wall unless sloped away from the house.
Inadequate ventilation and modern wall plaster can combine to create serious condensation. Modern living creates a very large amount of water vapour from sources such as cooking, washing, bathing, drying clothes indoors and even simply from breathing! In a heritage home this moisture used to be managed by permeable materials – the ability of the house to 'breathe' and expel moisture through absorption and evaporation. However, the use of modern gypsum plasters has significantly reduced this breathability. This reduced breathability combined with the reduction in use of open fires and a greater push for airtight, energy efficient homes has had the unintended consequence of trapping moisture inside our homes. If there is not enough ventilation to remove this airborne moisture, serious condensation can occur, especially if walls are already cold and damp. Effective extract ventilation in kitchen and bathrooms is crucial for reducing condensation.

MMA Rules and Regulations Update
Tommy O
There have been some recent modifications to the rules and regulations of Mixed Martial Arts. These have been approved by the UFC and most major MMA promoters. Take a look and keep up to date.
"Mixed martial arts" means unarmed combat involving the use, subject to any applicable limitations set forth in these Unified Rules and other regulations of the applicable Commission, of a combination of techniques from different disciplines of the martial arts, including, without limitation, grappling, submission holds, kicking and striking.
"Unarmed Combat" means any form of competition in which a blow is usually struck which may reasonably be expected to inflict injury.
"Unarmed Combatant" means any person who engages in unarmed combat.
"Commission" means the applicable athletic commission or regulatory body overseeing the bouts, exhibitions or competitions of mixed martial arts.
Weight Divisions
Except with the approval of the Commission, or its executive director, the classes for mixed martial arts contests or exhibitions and the weights for each class shall be:
Strawweight up to 115 pounds
Flyweight over 115 pounds to 125
Bantamweight over 125 to 135 pounds
Women's Bantamweight over 125 to 135 pounds
Featherweight over 135 to 145 pounds
Lightweight over 145 to 155 pounds
Welterweight over 155 to 170 pounds
Middleweight over 170 to 185 pounds
Light Heavyweight over 185 to 205 pounds
Heavyweight over 205 to 265 pounds
Super Heavyweight over 265 pounds
In non-championship fights, there shall be allowed a 1 pound weigh allowance. In championship fights, the participants must weigh no more than that permitted for the relevant weight division. The Commission may also approve catch weight bouts, subject to their review and discretion. For example, the Commission may still decide to allow the contest the maximum weight allowed is 177 pounds if it feels that the contest would still be fair, safe and competitive. In addition, if one athlete weighs 264 pounds while the opponent weighs 267 pounds, the Commission may still decide to allow the contest if it determines that the contest would still be fair, safe and competitive in spite of the fact that the two contestants technically weighed in differing weight classes.
Ring / Fighting Area Requirements and Equipment
Mixed martial arts contests and exhibitions may be held in a ring or in a fenced area.
A ring used for a contest or exhibition of mixed martial arts must meet the following requirements:
The ring must be no smaller than 20 feet square and no larger than 32 feet square within the ropes. One corner shall have a blue designation and the corner directly opposite must have a red designation.

For each bout, the promoter shall provide a clean water bucket, a clean plastic water bottle, and any other supplies as directed by the Commission, in each corner.
Specifications for Hand-wrapping
In all weight classes, the bandages on each contestant's hand shall be restricted to soft gauze cloth of not more than 15 yards in length and two inches in width, held in place by not more than 10 feet of surgeon's tape, one inch in width, for each hand.
Surgeon's adhesive tape shall be placed directly on each hand for protection near the wrist. The tape may cross the back of the hand twice and extend to cover and protect the knuckles when the hand is clenched to make a fist.
The bandages shall be evenly distributed across the hand.
Bandages and tape shall be placed on the contestant's hands in the dressing room in the presence of the Commission and in the presence of the manager or chief second of his or her opponent.
Under no circumstances are gloves to be placed on the hands of a contestant until the approval of the Commission is received.
All contestants are required to wear a mouthpiece during competition. The mouthpiece shall be subject to examination and approval by the attending physician.
The round cannot begin without the mouthpiece in place.
If the mouthpiece is involuntarily dislodged during competition, the referee shall call time, clean the mouthpiece, and reinsert the mouthpiece at the first opportune moment without interfering with the immediate action.
Male mixed martial artists shall wear a groin protector of their own selection, of a type approved by the Commissioner.
Female mixed martial artists are prohibited from wearing groin protectors.
Female mixed martial artists shall wear a chest protector during competition. The chest protector shall be subject to approval of the Commissioner.

Each unarmed combatant must be clean and present a tidy appearance.
The excessive use of grease or any other foreign substance may not be used on the face or body of an unarmed combatant. The referees or the Commission shall cause any excessive grease or foreign substance to be removed.
The Commission shall determine whether head or facial hair presents any hazard to the safety of the unarmed combatant or his opponent or will interfere with the supervision and conduct of the contest or exhibition. If the head or facial hair of an unarmed combatant presents such a hazard or will interfere with the supervision and conduct of the contest or exhibition, the unarmed combatant may not compete in the contest or exhibition unless the circumstances creating the hazard or potential interference are corrected to the satisfaction of the Commission.
An unarmed combatant may not wear any jewelry or other piercing accessories while competing in the contest or exhibition.
Round Length
Each non-championship mixed martial arts contest is to be for 3 rounds, each round no more than 5 minutes duration, with a rest period of 1 minute between each round.
Each championship mixed martial arts contest is to be for 5 rounds, each round no more than 5 minutes duration, with a rest period of 1 minute between each round.
Stopping Contest
The referee is the sole arbiter of a contest and is the only individual authorized to stop a contest. The referee may take advice from the ringside physician and/or the Commission with respect to the decision to stop a contest. The referee and the ringside physician are the only individuals authorized to enter the ring/fighting area at any time during competition other than the rest periods and subsequent to the contest ending.
All bouts will be evaluated and scored by 3 judges who shall evaluate the contest from different location around the ring/fighting area. The referee may not be one of the 3 judges.
The 10-Point Must System will be the standard system of scoring a bout. Under the 10-Point Must Scoring System, 10 points must be awarded to the winner of the round and 9 points or less must be awarded to the loser, except for a rare even round, which is scored (10-10).
Judges shall evaluate mixed martial arts techniques, such as effective striking, effective grappling, control of the ring/fighting area, effective aggressiveness and defense.
Evaluations shall be made in the order in which the techniques appear in (c) above, giving the most weight in scoring to effective striking, effective grappling, control of the fighting area and effective aggressiveness and defense.
Effective striking is judged by determining the total number of legal strikes landed by a contestant.
Effective grappling is judged by considering the amount of successful executions of a legal takedown and reversals. Examples of factors to consider are take downs from standing position to mount position, passing the guard to mount position, and bottom position fighters using an active threatening guard.
Fighting area control is judged by determining who is dictating the pace, location and position of the bout. Examples of factors to consider are countering a grappler's attempt at takedown by remaining standing and legally striking, taking down an opponent to force a ground fight, creating threatening submission attempts, passing the guard to achieve mount, and creating striking opportunities.
Effective aggressiveness means moving forward and landing a legal strike.
Effective defense means avoiding being struck, taken down or reversed while countering with offensive attacks.
The following objective scoring criteria shall be utilized by the judges when scoring a round:
a round is to be scored as a 10-10 round when both contestants appear to be fighting evenly and neither contestant shows clear dominance in a round;
a round is to be scored as a 10-9 round when a contestant wins by a close margin, landing the greater number of effective legal strikes, grappling and other maneuvers;
a round is to be scored as a 10-8 round when a contestant overwhelmingly dominates by striking or grappling in a round.
a round is to be scored as a 10-7 round when a contestant totally dominates by striking or grappling in a round.
Judges shall use a sliding scale and recognize the length of time the fighters are either standing or on the ground, as follows:
if the mixed martial artists spent a majority of a round on the canvas, then:
Effective grappling is weighed first; and
Effective striking is then weighed
If the mixed martial artists spent a majority of a round standing, then:
Effective striking is weighed first; and
Effective grappling is then weighed
If a round ends with a relatively even amount of standing and canvas fighting, striking and grappling are weighed equally.
The following acts constitute fouls in a contest or exhibition of mixed martial arts and may result in penalties, at the discretion of thereferee, if committed:
Butting with the head
Eye gouging of any kind
Spitting at an opponent
Fish hooking
Groin attacks of any kind
Putting a finger into any orifice or any cut or laceration of an opponent
Small joint manipulation
Striking downward using the point of the elbow
Striking to the spine or the back of the head
Kicking to the kidney with a heel
Throat strikes of any kind, including, without limitation, grabbing the trachea
Clawing, pinching or twisting the flesh
Grabbing the clavicle
Kicking the head of a grounded opponent
Kneeing the head of a grounded opponent
Stomping a grounded opponent
Holding the fence
Holding the shorts or gloves of an opponent
Using abusive language in fenced ring/fighting area
Engaging in any unsportsmanlike conduct that causes injury to an opponent
Attacking an opponent on or during the break
Attacking an opponent who is under the care of the referee
Attacking an opponent after the bell has sounded the end of the round
Timidity, including, without limitation, avoiding contact with an opponent, intentionally or consistently dropping the mouthpiece or faking an injury
Throwing opponent out of ring/fighting area
Flagrantly disregarding the instructions of the referee
Spiking an opponent to the canvas on his head or neck
Interference by the corner
Applying any foreign substance to the hair or body to gain an advantage
Disqualification may occur after any combination of fouls or after a flagrant foul at the discretion of the referee.
Fouls may result in a point being deducted by the official scorekeeper from the offending contestant's score. The scorekeeper, not the judges, will be responsible for calculating the true score after factoring in the point deduction.
Only a referee can assess a foul. If the referee does not call the foul, judges must not make that assessment on their own and should not factor such into their scoring calculations.
If a foul is committed:
The referee shall call timeout.
The referee shall order the offending contestant to a neutral location.
The referee shall check the fouled contestant's condition and safety.
The referee shall then assess the foul to the offending contestant and deduct points if the referee deems it appropriate, and notify the commission, the corners, the official scorekeeper of his decision on whether the foul was accidental or intentional and whether a point is to be taken away.
If a bottom contestant commits a foul, unless the top contestant is injured, the contest will continue and:
The referee will verbally notify the bottom contestant of the foul.
When the round is over, the referee will assess the foul and notify the commission, the corners, the judges and the official scorekeeper.
The referee may terminate a contest based on the severity of a foul. For such a flagrant foul, the contestant committing the foul shall lose by disqualification.
Low Blow Foul:
A fighter who has been struck with a low blow is allowed up to 5 minutes to recover from the foul as long as in the ringside doctor's opinion the fighter may possibly continue on in the contest.
If the fighter states that they can continue on before the five minutes of time have expired, the referee shall, as soon as practical, restart the fight.
If the fighter goes over the 5 minute time allotment, and the fight cannot be restarted, the contest must come to an end with the outcome determined by the round and time in which the fight was stopped. See Section 16 below.
Fighter Fouled by other than low blow:
If a contest of mixed martial arts is stopped because of an accidental foul, the referee shall determine whether the unarmed combatant who has been fouled can continue or not. If the unarmed combatant's chance of winning has not been seriously jeopardized as a result of the foul and if the foul did not involve a concussive impact to the head of the unarmed combatant who has been fouled, the referee may order the contest or exhibition continued after a recuperative interval of not more than 5 minutes. Immediately after separating the unarmed combatants, the referee shall inform the Commission's representative of his determination that the foul was accidental.
If a fighter is fouled by blow that the referee deems illegal, the referee should stop the action and call for time. The referee may take the injured fighter to the ringside doctor and have the ringside doctor examine the fighter as to their ability to continue on in the contest. The ringside doctor has up to 5 minutes to make their determination. If the ringside doctor determines that the fighter can continue in the contest, the referee shall as soon as practical restart the fight. Unlike the low blow foul rule, the fighter does not have up to 5 minutes of time to use, at their discretion, and must continue the fight when instructed to by the referee.
For a foul other than a low blow, if the injured fighter is deemed not fit to continue, by the referee, the referee must immediately call a halt to the bout. If the fighter is deemed not fit to continue, by the referee, even though some of the 5 minute foul time is still remaining, the fighter cannot avail himself of the remaining time and the fight must be stopped.
If the referee stops the contest and employs the use of the ringside doctor, the ringside physician's examinations shall not exceed 5 minutes. If 5 minutes is exceeded, the fight cannot be re-started and the contest must end.
Injuries Sustained by Fair Blows and Fouls
If an injury sustained during competition as a result of a legal maneuver is severe enough to terminate a bout, the injured contestant loses by technical knockout.
If an injury sustained during competition as a result of an intentional foul, as determined by the referee, is severe enough to terminate a bout, the contestant causing the injury loses by disqualification.
If an injury is sustained during competition as a result of an intentional foul, as determined by the referee, and the bout is allowed to continue, the referee shall notify the scorekeeper to automatically deduct two points from the contestant who committed the foul.
If an injury sustained during competition as a result of an intentional foul, as determined by the referee, causes the injured contestant to beunable to continue at a subsequent point in the contest, the injured contestant shall win by technical decision, if he or she is ahead on the scorecards. If the injured contestant is even or behind on the score cards at the time of stoppage, the outcome of the bout shall be declared a technicaldraw.
If a contestant injures himself or herself while attempting to foul his or her opponent, the referee shall not take any action in his or herfavor, and the injury shall be treated in the same manner as an injury produced by a fair blow.
If an injury sustained during competition as a result of an accidental foul, as determined by the referee, is severe enough for the referee tostop the bout immediately, the bout shall result in a no contest if stopped before two rounds have been completed in a three round bout or if stoppedbefore three rounds have been completed in a five round bout.
If an injury sustained during competition as a result of an accidental foul, as determined by the referee, is severe enough for the referee tostop the bout immediately, the bout shall result in a technical decision awarded to the contestant who is ahead on the score cards at the time the boutis stopped only when the bout is stopped after two rounds of a three round bout, or three rounds of a five round bout have been completed.
Incomplete rounds should be scored utilizing the same criteria as the scoring of other rounds up to the point said incomplete round is stopped.

Hinoki blades are quite different from other blades. Each blade has a particular visual, even if it is the same brand and model. I like quiet a lot to see pictures of Hinoki blades, there is something on it that is attractive to me, and I believe that are many more users here that also admires the beautness of these works of art.
I'm creating this thread so you can post pictures of your hinoki / cypress / WRC / POC / etc. single ply blade.
There were a few threads about it on the past. Some pictures do not work anymore and also the OPs doesn't seem to access this forum anymore. So I will try to make a new (and maybe definitive) thread about this subject! I will try to make backups of pictures from time to time (maybe once a month?), so we don't loose these already rare to see blades! The other strong reason to start a new one instead of reviving an old thread is because I believe this way people would be more willing post participate.
With these 4 pictures, all grains details are covered! But if you want to just take one overall picture, no problems too!
"ATTENTION! ALL SINGLE PLY HINOKI CLUB MEMBERS"
"PICTURES OF YOUR 1PLY HINOKI JPENS"
I will also ask for help to indicate good, free and reliable websites to host the pictures. I only know imgur.
I think it is possible to attach pictures on your post directly from your PC/smartphone using forum tools, but I don't know exactly how it works. I tried to use once but it didn't work very well, but we can try this again too.
(there is also an option there to set maximum size. If you want to attach a pic via forum tool "insert image", then you can set this at 200 kb, since this is the forum limit). Usually I put 75% smaller (depends on your cam resolution) and 200 kb.
Thanks for starting this. I'll post pics of my 2 Darker 1-ply this weekend.
Here are 2 I have from BBC, they are dark WRC. The first is 9.5mm, second is 9mm. They weigh 100g and 97g respectively. The 9.5mm one has been split and repaired. I couldn't get a good edge picture due to their dark colour.
Here is another WRC from BBC. It is 10mm, 97g. It has been split once and repaired.
Here is a homemade WRC racket. It is 10.5mm and 104g. It was my first attempt, hence the utilitarian, no aesthetics look. It has also been split and repaired.
This is my second homemade blade, made of WRC. It is also my main blade. It is 11.5mm and weighs 109g.
All of these blades have been sanded with 2000 grit sandpaper except the dark 9mm one.
The orange tint in some areas is the sealant I used after repairing the split or making the blade. Some parts are more orange than others because the blade was either slightly uneven, or because it was in an area that needed extra sealing.
Sure, you can post pictures of your LS too!
Wow, I didn`t know you were a blade maker!
What have you used to repair your split blades?
I used regular wood glue once and it seemed to have worked well, but I don`t know if there are other better alternatives.
I liked your anatomic-to-fingers handle, very different!
Wood glue seems the best. The first time I repaired one, I used epoxy. It was weaker and didn't bond the wood together as well, and the split was very visible. This is the BBC 10mm one. For the others, I used wood glue.
The first blade I made split right next to the handle, so it was not a clean split. However, the wood glue fixed it pretty well. The split is only really noticeable at the handle now. And I can't even find the split anymore on the dark 9.5mm one.
Oh one more question: what product do you use to seal your hinoki blades? And do you know if 1 ply hinoki are prone to splintering just like regular multiply blades?
I'm asking this because I've read some discussions on the past here at mytt and some people said that 1 plies doesn't need sealing, others said the it was better to have, and others said that it could change the hinoki feel etc...a lot of controversial infos/experiences.
The 1-ply blades are not really prone to splintering on the face, but it has happened before. They do sometimes splinter at the edges, close to the 'eye' because the layers of wood there are very thin and separated by grain. However, this takes more than sealing to fix. I usually put some superglue in that spot to prevent splintering. I seal my blades mainly because I want to keep moisture out, not because of splinters.
I have used them unsealed, and have not noticed a difference. To seal, I use shellac. It is a type of wax dissolved in ever clear. I use a lint free cloth to rub it on the blade in an even layer, and then let it dry for 20 minutes or so. Then, I sand it down on a glass plate with a very fine paper as far as I can before breaking through the layer. This makes the surface even, even if the layer of wax is not (I have not yet mastered the planer). It does add noticeable weight, but I prefer heavy blades anyway.
To test if it is sealed, I put a few drops of water on the blade and see if it slides around without getting absorbed.
Thanks very much for the infos!
Indeed, the side edges are more fragile, when I took a sidetape off it had some very small spinters.
Another solution to this is to put an epoxy layer along all the edge. I learned this from Kevin (American Hinoki), he recommends it to protect blades from splintering from hits/drops, but it can also protect from these side splintering too.
So one is a speed 90 for sure (ST handle, 90.5g) while my main blade does not say so but it plays the exact same and the eyes are better.
Your main blade is particularly beautiful. Perfect eyes, vertical and uniform grains!
My American Hinoki WRC-9mm. The last part shows the edge with epoxy applied.
And are you left handed? Your blade has an unusual cutout on the left side.
Your Kokutaku actually has rather nice grain in that they are quite even. The manufacture quality is not quite as high given the visual defects and filling of the pits in the cork. Cork quality is low but the hinoki itself looks rather nice - though there seem to be 'pits' in the blade top edge.
American Hinoki (Kevin) is an american custom blade maker. His website is offline since more than a year ago, but he is still making blades if you email him. If you want to order a blade from him, I can pass to you his email. The wood used on the blade above is Western Red Cedar, which according to some reviews, plays quite similar to some best Kiso Hinoki blades out there. JimT wrote some reviews in the past about American Hinoki WRC and BBC (Blades by Charlie) single ply WRC.
Yes I'm left handed. This blade shape was made to facilitate RPB.
Interesting observation about the cork. Actually I've never paid attention to the cork quality, I will pay more attention to it from now on, thanks! The D50 is Kokutaku 2nd cheapest single ply, so that makes sense.
MTMT, your are more than welcome to post pictures of your equipment/hinoki boards here too if you want . You can also post some informations about hinoki quality and characteristics when selecting a blade, you have great knowledge about it, it would be awesome if you could share it with us. Or you can post it on your thread if you prefer, no problem too, and I can post a link to it on my second post.
Ok so I took pics of my AHinoki as well as my Darker Blade. Unfortunately both have rubbers and edge tape on them.
I am out of edge tape right now and I am really careful with all my TT stuff. I will post pics without the edge tape too but soon as I go out and get some so I can replace it immediately.
With the A Hinoki I had two pics that Kevin had sent me to show me how the blade looked before he shipped so I added those in as well.
I had him engrave my initials on it too.
Your Lutz Spruce blade is very nice Ranger-man!
It is the first time I see this wood type. Is it similar to hinoki in playability?
You have some amazing blades Shinshiro. The Kokotaku Bishu is beautiful and the grains are so tight! The workmanship is way better than on the Jpen Kokutaku. That shakehand has to play like a dream. Do you play both shake and penhold? Because you have a Jpen Kokutaku and then that WRC Ahinoki which is a stunner. I that pile of blades on imgur yours? Because man, I am drooling.
I do have to say Kevin makes gorgeous blades. I love how his wood is perfectly quarter sawn, which not every blade maker is that vigilant about. I am actually thinking of getting another one from him. I am also thinking of buying another Speed 90 from iruiru as a backup blade.
The Lutz Spruce plays very well. It would be a great replacement for someone who wants the type of game that only a one-ply Hinoki blade can give but does not want to spend that much. I would not say exactly the same, but similar. The differences don't make it worse, just different. It loops well, has a nice soft touch and great control and power when needed. It has a lot of gears too and can keep upwith the Hinoki on the higher end of the spectrum (power) but the Hinoki beats it in the soft touch realm. It is one of my favorite blades for sure.
How does the WRC Jpen play Shinshiro. In what ways is it different from a one-ply Hinoki blade? I am very curious because I keep thinking about asking Kevin to make me one.
Chairman Meow, I am thinking about making a one-ply blade so I will definitely pester you with some questions when I get down to it. That is one monster of a blade though, the 109gm WRC.
I played j-penhold for a few months, but I couldn't addapt to TBP.
I also tried RPB for a short time too (my American Hinoki blade was designed for that). I could use RPB quite fine, but was having some finger/wrist pain, so I decide to stop and play shakehand again.
I want to try to play jpen again in a near future.
My WRC Jpen was a bit different than usual because I asked Kevin to make it as light as possible, and it came out having only 64g (!!!). Therefore is was not very fast like usually a 1 ply is. It was definetely slower than the kokutaku D40 (84g). I used different rubbers on each and it's been some time since I last played then, so I'm afraid I'm not able to give more in deep details (and I'm also a low level player, which doesn't help too LOL). But I've read some reviews here at mytt, and if my memory is right, JimT used to play with a WRC blade (from Kevin and Charlie also), and he said that it plays almost indistinguible from Darker Speed 90. Another guy said it was only a bit slower than Speed 90. From the reviews I read in the past, I believe WRC 1ply is the closest you can get to Kiso Hinoki in playability (but it is also true that there aren't many reviews from other woods, like Lutz Spruce, POC, etc. I would like to know how close POC is to hinoki when playing, since on theory this is the closest one). I also read from more than one source that WRC is a bit softer than Hinoki.
Have anyone had the oportunity to play with 1 ply blades of different hardness?
I know that hardness can vary even on same hinoki type.
On rubbers, it seems that generally the softer ones have more catapult (less linear) on soft touches, but don't have the top speed the hard rubbers have. This reasoning also applies to blade 1 ply blade hardness?
I may buy a blade soon, but I would like to know more about this characteristic first.
Shinshiro, how does the Kokutaku Bishu no1 Specialist play? Can you do a short review on it? ie: speed, control, feel, hardness, etc.
The KKT Specialist is on the soft side, feels softer than my 5 ply blades in general. Feels very stable on blocking and hitting, can generate a very good speed. I had some trouble on lifting backspin balls, much more shots were going into the net than with 5 ply blade I was using before (tought I'm not 100% shure if it's due to blade or if I was just on a bad day).
It is not much, but I hope it can help you. I'm not a very good reviewer, and I'm also a beginner so take that with a pinch of salt.
Ahh, keeping the 1-plies alive!
Well, my Nittaku Miyabi R has been sold to MTMT.
shinshiro,can you measure the dimensions(thickness x width x length) in mm of the shake hand Bishu No.1 Specialist blade? Thanks.

Where Does SharePoint End, and Enterprise Content Management Begin?
by Derek Brink
If you're like most organizations, you're probably using Microsoft SharePoint. This isn't all that surprising, given that SharePoint is integrated with the productivity tools that many organizations use to create content (Microsoft Office and Office 365), and that it provides some very convenient capabilities for storing, syncing, and sharing those files. As a first step, SharePoint is an easy choice.
To be clear, when we talk about "files," or "content," we're really talking about unstructured data — which may take the form of documents, presentations, spreadsheets, email and text messages, notes, images, audio, video, and so on. This kind of content plays a fundamental, foundational role in supporting enterprise initiatives for collaboration between individuals, integration of business processes and workflows, innovation in products and services, growth in revenue and earnings, and efficiency of operations.
To gain some insights into the kind of solutions companies are using to manage their content, a look at the installations related to content management that are visible in the Aberdeen Group Computer Intelligence Technology Data Set (CiTDS) confirmed that SharePoint represented about 80% of all installations. In this case, we're talking about a snapshot of more than 36,500 technology installations related to content management – across nearly 25,000 organizations – with the information pertaining to all of these installations confirmed by Aberdeen's Market Intelligence business unit in 2013, 2014, or 2015.
At the same time, an analysis of the Aberdeen CiTDS data helps to show that as the needs of organizations grow more complex, the basic capabilities of simply storing, syncing, and sharing files are no longer enough.
A closer look at these 36,500 installations shows that as the environment grows more complex — and as they seek to extract more business value from their enterprise content than basic file sync and file share solutions can provide — they are much less likely to rely solely on SharePoint, and much more likely to incorporate full-fledged enterprise content management (ECM) solutions.
In fact, for single-site / single-vendor environments, SharePoint represents 90% of all installations, while for more complex multi-site / multi-vendor installations, SharePoint is part of just 64% of all installations.
Keep in mind, file sync solutions enable users to transfer files to a central repository, so they can be accessed by themselves from one or more different devices. File share capabilities enable users not only to transfer files to a central repository, but also allow them to be accessed by one or more specific collaborators.
In contrast, ECM solutions provide the fundamental building blocks of managing content over its entire lifecycle, such as those promoted by the Association for Information and Image Management: capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver.
For example, beyond storing, syncing, and sharing files, organizations are increasingly looking to leading ECM solutions to help them derive ever-greater business value from their unstructured data, by:
Integrating enterprise content into their most important applications, processes, and workflows
Delivering enterprise content in context, to support productivity and collaboration goals for their users
Addressing security, privacy, and compliance requirements for enterprise content, to manage the risks of supporting broader, more liberal access
In addition, leading ECM solutions have focused on improving the veracity (e.g., accuracy, integrity), completeness, and timeliness of unstructured data. As opposed to merely providing users with access to files, this actually supports business users in making better and more timely decisions.
These are among the many important differentiators between enterprise content management solutions — which are designed around an enterprise-class, cradle-to-grave, lifecycle perspective of managing enterprise content — and the many popular solutions in the much less comprehensive file sync and file share categories (many of which are primarily consumer-oriented applications).
We can visualize how organizations have already turned to more sophisticated ECM solutions as their go-to option for more complex environments, as well as for ECM's many higher-value capabilities for deriving business value from their unstructured data. In the following chart:
The total footprint (number of installations) for each of the selected content management solutions that are visible in the Aberdeen Group CiTDS is plotted on the x-axis
The percentage of multi-site / multi-vendor installations (as opposed to single-site / single-vendor installations) for each of these content management solutions is plotted on the y-axis
The simple two-by-two matrix that results visually demonstrates the leading enterprise-class ECM solutions that organizations have already turned to, beyond the basic capabilities of their file sync and file share solutions.
Source: Aberdeen Group CiTDS, November 2015
To sum up, the more your organization can be described by the following attributes, the more it should look at adopting enterprise content management solutions:
Currently using less comprehensive file sync / file share solutions, such as Microsoft SharePoint or Dropbox
Want to increase collaboration between business users, both internal and external — and both local and remote
Want the convenience and productivity of a cloud-based, mobile-friendly environment — while still managing the risks with enterprise-class capabilities (as opposed to consumer-class capabilities) for security, privacy, and compliance
Need help with finding and assessing existing enterprise content, which may be scattered throughout the organization
Need to integrate enterprise content with existing applications and infrastructure —such that what currently works, still works when it is extended to the cloud
Want to improve the quality, completeness, and timeliness of the content being provided to business users — as opposed to merely providing them with access to data — to support faster, better business decisions

The Intangible Future and the Rise of the Internet File System
ARTICLE: Just a few years ago, we still printed out our photos, bought music on CDs, and movies on DVDs. Books, magazines, and newspapers were all printed on paper. Most people had external hard drives for backup and transferring files. We owned our media and entertainment and had full control over our real and digital lives.
