As autumn approaches, millions of people will put away the signs of summer and replace the front yard kitsch of lawn ornaments and gnomes gripping surfboards with harbingers of celebrations to come. It is a safe bet Halloweens decorations will soon be littering the lawns of suburbia.
One of the most popular representations of the late October holiday is that of the scary vampire lying in his casket. But while Dracula and his ilk do spend the days in slumber in a box usually used for burial, the Count isn't reclining in a coffin. Nosferatu, Vlad the Impaler, and all the other old bloodsuckers hung out in coffins.
Although caskets and coffins are both used to bury the dead, they are two very different objects.
A Brief History Of Burying The Dead
From the beginning, man has buried the dead in some form or fashion. Most early burials involved little more than interring the body without any preparation or covering. This way, the body could naturally return to Earth. Over time, however, some civilizations started wrapping the deceased in a blanket or shroud. Eventually, mourners began to construct wooden boxes to hold the dead, which slowly became more decorative so that they could be displayed before burial.
The Difference Between a Coffin and Casket
The French were the first to coin the term "cofin," which itself is taken from an ancient Latin word meaning "basket." A coffin refers specifically to a tapered hexagonal or octagonal box that has an anthropoid shape, conforming to the human body. The top is broader for shoulders and torso, while the bottom is narrower for legs and feet.
A coffin's lid is similar in shape. It is generally a solid piece of wood and can be hinged on the side for viewing purposes. The handles and decorations on the exterior are known as "coffin furniture," and can be useful in gaining information about the dates of construction and wealth of the individual inside.
A "casket" was originally defined as "a box for treasures or jewelry." The word's usage changed to define that of a burial container during the 18th and 19th centuries when undertaking became more prevalent.
The introduction of ornate and detailed caskets was done to ease the mourning process. They were fashioned to look more like beds, and the bodies within were embalmed to look as though the person was just taking a peaceful nap. Funeral directors also felt the term "casket" sounded less offensive and felt the grieving process would be easier if the box didn't mirror the shape of the human body inside.
While coffins are constructed primarily of wood, caskets fall into two broad categories of exterior material—wood and metal. Select hardwood species like mahogany, cherry, and walnut are chosen for their luxurious appearance, while native woods like oak and ash give off a natural warmth and provide years of durability. Stainless steel is considered to be a great value in metal caskets, with bronze as the most costly metal available and copper a close second in expense.
Do People Still Use Caskets?
Some areas of the world still use coffins to inter the dead, but most westernized countries now use caskets.
Besides hundreds of casket options, the funeral industry has gone a step further to create a less morbid aura around the planning of funeral services by using terms like "display area" instead of "casket room" and "casket coach" instead of "hearse."
Custom coffins are growing more popular with each passing year. A company based in the UK designs exclusive burial boxes to look like luggage, musical instruments, and even police boxes. And if special order pine boxes aren't your thing, there's always the option of picking up a cheap casket at Costco. Try some on for size while shopping for new Halloween decorations this year.

Crunchy Thai Quinoa SaladPrint Print Without Images
I'm always in search of new recipes with fresh and healthy ingredients. My oldest daughter has shown an increased interest in cooking for our family over the past several months and her searches for new recipes often starts with looking on Pinterest. Together Jaida and I look for dishes that we think would be proven winners for our house of six!
On top of being super colourful, this salad is packed with wholesome, healthy and fresh ingredients. The peanut, ginger dressing is the true gem in this recipe! Easily made, it adds a fresh flavour that really sets this salad apart from others. This salad is a true hit and incredibly delicious! I hope you love this salad as much as we did.
Salad Ingredients
¾ cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups shredded red cabbage, less if you don't like as much crunch
1 red bell pepper, diced
½ red onion, diced
1 cup shredded carrots
½ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup diced green onions
½ cup cashew halves or peanuts
1 cup edamame or chickpeas
Fresh lime juice, to taste
Dressing Ingredients
¼ cup all natural peanut butter
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
3 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon olive oil
Water to thin, if necessary
- Cook quinoa. Rinse quinoa with cold water in mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 ½ cups of water to a boil. Add in quinoa and bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa has absorbed all of the water. Remove from heat and fluff quinoa with fork; place in large bowl and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. You can also place the quinoa in the fridge to cool, I personally like this salad cold.
- Make the dressing. Add peanut butter and honey to a medium microwave safe bowl; heat in microwave for 20 seconds. Add in ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and both sesame and olive oil and stir until mixture is smooth and creamy. If you want a thinner dressing, simply stir in a teaspoon or two of water or olive oil.
- Add as much or as little dressing as you'd like to the quinoa. I always start out with a little bit of dressing and usually add more to suit my taste preferences. Alternatively you can save the dressing for later and add when you are ready to eat; however the flavors of the dressing usually soak into the salad so I love adding it to the quinoa first.
- Next fold in red pepper, onion, cabbage, carrots, and cilantro into the quinoa. Garnish with cashews and green onions. Serve chilled or at room temperature with lime wedges if desired.

Hayfever Types (allergic rhinitis)
Seasonal: Symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis can occur in spring, summer and early autumn. They are usually caused by allergic sensitivity to airborne mould spores or to pollens from grass, trees and weeds.
Perennial: People with perennial allergic rhinitis experience symptoms year-round. It is generally caused by dust mites, pet hair or dander, cockroaches or mould.
You may even have both types in which case you could be suffering all year round, though worse in the spring.

Argentina Bolivia Gran Chaco update: Rainwater storage makes all the difference
Rebeca and Nestor are promoting peace in their communities thanks to rooftop rainwater harvesting. Conflicts over land and water rights between indigenous people and "criollo" settlers have been a reality for nearly 100 years in the Argentine and Bolivian Chaco. Today, the settlers are as poor as their indigenous neighbors, and the existence of both groups is threatened by frequent six-month droughts. As Nestor puts it, "When it comes to water, there is no difference between us."
Fiji community recovers from Cyclone Winston
Two years ago this month, Sepa and his wife Josivini had cause to wonder whether they and their neighbors would live or die as Cyclone Winston roared across their Fiji Islands community of Navakawau, on Taveuni Island, blowing away 96 of the village's 111 homes, including theirs. Thanks to UCC Disaster Ministries, they had shelter in the community hall while they rebuilt their home - and now, reliable drinking water and a new health center.

5 ways you can help!
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced its decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Salvadorans in the United States. This decision follows the recent TPS terminations for Sudan, Nicaragua, and Haiti, and is yet another attack on immigrant communities. TPS is a program designed to protect people from being returned to harm - precisely the conditions El Salvador faces today, including gang conscription, sexual violence, and human trafficking. As a nation, we promised to protect nearly 200,000 Salvadoran neighbors by allowing them to remain in the United States.
Join us in urging the administration to restore El Salvador's TPS designation, and calling on Congress to pass a permanent legislative solution for all TPS holders. Click here for our Interfaith Toolkit: 5 Ways to Take Action in the New Year.

And the United Church of Christ has been present and visible from the very start of relief and recovery efforts, providing financial assistance and know-how to help local communities identify and respond to unmet needs.
From Hardship to Hope
"We do not offer "before" pictures of the terrible state people are in when they reach us. Each refugee has a story of heartbreak, but thanks to the support of caring people, each story becomes one of hope as we nurture them in Christian love, so they can smile again."
~Rev. Pereira, Director of Southwest Good Samaritan Ministries.

Soft Tissue Damage and Repair
When we as mammals have an injury such as a cut, sprain, strain, bruise, to our muscles, ligaments, blood vessels or skin the reaction to this is the same. Essentially the only difference when it comes to injury is severity, location and repetition. The body responds the same physiologically to these soft tissue injuries.
First is inflammation. When the body initially gets injured the blood vessels will tighten in order to restrict blood loss. This will pass within a few hours and then the blood vessels will expand (called vasodilation) in order bring white blood cells to the damaged tissues and begin the removal of dead cells.
Second is the proliferative phase of treatment. This essentially means that this is the stage where there are the most abundant amount of tissue healing cells present at the site of injury. This is also is the beginning stage of scar tissue build-up.
Third is the final stage which is the Remodeling phase. This is a months-long process which essentially is the build-up of the collagen tissues (scar tissue) to reinforce the tensile strength of the collagen, however the integrity of this tissue will never reach that of normal tissue.
The fact that our bodies' natural capability to heal and normalize its tissues on its own has limits reinforces the benefit of treatment. With proper tissue mobilization through chiropractic care, exercise therapy and massage therapy we have the capability of increasing the elasticity and tensile strength of our bodies scar tissues.
So do you have old injuries that are still flaring up on a regular basis and don't seem to be healing completely? It may be that the amount of scar tissue formation and the way it formed during the three stages of healing listed above is contributing to your discomfort and physical limitations. Come find out at Lifestyle Chiropractic in Seattle.

Why Is It important To Counsel With Your Spouse
On A Regular Basis?
Join the founders of Coriaria as they discuss "Why is it important to counsel with your spouse on a regular basis" on our podcast "The intentional family moment."
Welcome to the Intentional Family Moment. Take a moment with us as we discuss our thoughts on your family questions, then join us in our weekly challenge as we work together to be more intentional in our families.
This is episode 2 hosted by married Coriaria founders Brent and Michelle. This episode is sponsored by Everflect: Your couple's council assistant. Check out Everflect.com to learn more.
Today's question is: why is it important to counsel with your spouse on a regular basis?
I think that it might be good to start with what it even means to counsel with your spouse.
Counseling with your spouse has everything to do with reviewing the state of everything that's going on with your family and with your marriage. It's a time to sit down and chat about where we're at and how things have been going and what goals we might have moving forward and to talk about challenges or conflicts, and to otherwise provide a platform for having a consistent conversation about some of the most important things that a couple needs to discuss.
What would you say are some of those important things? What would be on that list of things to go over in a council with your spouse?
That's a great question. I think that every couple is going to want to come up with the routine that works best for them. For us, we do a weekly couple's council. We start out with a prayer and we have a conversation on a fixed set of topics that we cover every week. We extend it with different things based on what might be going on in a given week. Some of those points include talking about previous goals that we've set and reviewing our progress on those, setting new goals. We talk about the strength of our relationship, we talk about any points of conflict that we might have and then we work through whatever needs to happen in order to resolve those conflicts. I think that sometimes we might have conversations about conflicts that we can't resolve in the time we spend on a couples council.
As a sidenote on that, a couple's council might sound really formal and intimidating, and it's something that you can reasonably do in a handful of minutes ranging up to fifteen or more minutes. It's not something that has to be really long every time.
We talk about praise that we share with each other, and we offer each other suggestions on how we can improve. That's the basis we have for things.
All of that is inside of our Everflect app. It's designed to walk through each one of those questions, but you don't have to have an app in order to do a couple's council.
A few other things we talk about include the calendar, we talk about meals for the week, finances, family members, opportunities for service, date night, and other things that we value to have that consistency every week with our family.
For us that means weekly, so we go over things that are happening in our week. To answer the question "Why is it important to counsel on a regular basis?" – when you counsel on a regular basis, you're not just counseling in crisis mode. You're talking about the good things that are happening. It becomes a habit. You know you have that space to talk when you need to, and you know you have that space to talk to make sure you're on the same page. As long as you're doing it regularly, you don't have to suddenly be doing a couple's council when you're in that high emotion or crisis mode, and I think that's why it's important to do it regularly instead of on occasion.
I think that the consistency is a huge part of succeeding with a couple's council. To reiterate what you're saying on that front, I can't imaging trying to have a couple's council when we feel like we need it versus making it a habit or a ritual that we go through on a consistent basis. There is a lot of power in having that consistency.
What are some of the benefits that you've seen and some of the good things that have come from counseling as a couple?
In a general sense it keeps us on the same page. We are on the same page not only on the calendar, but also emotionally and with whatever things we need to talk about. There are a lot of things that go on during the week. Whether it's work or kids or all of those things that get us a little bit off. Coming back to the same page every week is really nice, because we are able to progress from that page together and move forward.
I think that sums it up quite well as far as the core benefit of the consistency and being aligned on the same page on a regular basis. It gives us that opportunity for alignment.
As far as the challenge this week is concerned, we challenge everyone who listens to this podcast to a regular couple's council. Take time to set aside a consistent moment every week. It doesn't have to be the same time, but the same day is wise to establish that pattern. Then tell us how it goes! Tell us how it goes after a week or two or several weeks of trying to keep that commitment on a regular basis, and let us know what benefits come from trying to keep that.
If you go to Everflect.com we have more materials on how to conduct a Couple's council, including our free apps for iOS and Android that you can use. They are totally free to use and download. They will walk you through every step of the process of completing a couple's council.
Thank you for joining us, now go home and change the world by being more intentional with your family.

We all rely on electricity to power our homes and businesses, however coming into contact with high voltage electricity can cause serious injury or death.
To protect your safety and provide a safe, reliable network, TransGrid has easements over its transmission lines, which restrict the activities that can be carried out. Easements are also "rights of way", which allow our staff and contractors access to construct, operate and maintain TransGrid's infrastructure.
High voltage transmission lines have different safety risks from urban powerlines, and this is why TransGrid encourages the principle of "prudent avoidance". When planning houses, schools, sensitive land uses and other types of development, proximity to existing or planned high voltage transmission lines should always be considered.
Where transmission line easements cannot be avoided, open space uses that do not encourage people to congregate under the transmission lines or close to electricity infrastructure should be given preference over other land uses, such as residential or commercial.
TransGrid has developed the Easement Guidelines to assist you to work out what you can and can't do within TransGrid easements.
You can make an enquiry or apply for TransGrid's permission to carry out an activity within a TransGrid easement via our
Easement Enquiries Portal.
TransGrid's Easement Guidelines set out:
how to find out whether your proposal is within a TransGrid easement;
what can and can't be done within TransGrid easements;
whether your proposed activity or development needs TransGrid's permission; and
the process for seeking TransGrid's permission prior to carrying out your activity or lodging your development application with a consent authority.
A printable version of the Easement Guidelines is available here.
Seeking TransGrid's permission before you lodge your development application will help expedite the development application process by ensuring that your proposal meets TransGrid's Easement Guidelines.
If you do not have TransGrid's permission and undertake a development that is inconsistent with the Easement Guidelines, you may be required to remove it or relocate it at your expense.
Please note that if you have received TransGrid's written permission under previous guidelines, this permission remains valid.
Please contact TransGrid to discuss:
Phone: (02) 9620 0515

Over the past few years we've witnessed a tectonic shift in computing. Until now, there have really been two major phases in the evolution of computing: The Tabulating Era and The Programming Era. Slowly but surely we have now entered a new third era of Computing—the Cognitive Era—which is by far the most transformational.
The Tabulating Era (1900s—1940s): Modern computing began with single purpose mechanical systems that were little more than sophisticated calculators. These machines used punch cards to input data and the punch cards also served as a rudimentary mechanism to instruct the machine to perform calcuations.
The Programming Era (1950s—Present): is the era that today's computing professionals have mainly grown up in. The programming era birthed the basic structure and interpretation of modern computer programs consisting of if-then clauses, iteration loops, and other logical operations. The invention of the transistor and the accompanying advancements associated with Moore's Law have made programmable machines very capable.
Every computing device that exists today—a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop, or smart watch—is a programmable computer.
The key identifier of a programmable machine is that it can never accomplish more than what it is programmed to do by a human. Every program written by a human is limited by the creativity, knowledge, and reasoning ability of the human. A human can only program a computer to do what he or she already knows how to do. In other words, a program can only be as good as the programmers who write it.
The Cognitive Era (2017—): By contrast, the Cognitive Era represents a seismic paradigm shift in computing capabilities and architecture. AlphaGo is a widely recognized key milestone that marked the beginnings of the Cognitive Era: almost everyone remembers when Google DeepMind's AlphaGo defeated Lee Sedol, winner of 18 world titles and widely considered the greatest Go player of recent history.
The development is interesting because the game of Go has too many permutations for human programmers to program logical instructions for all the various scenarios that could occur. The development transcended a major limitation of the programming era: programmers who couldn't enumerate all the if-then-else scenarios created a machine that was able to self-learn and adapt in order to defeat the world's best player.
Cognitive Computing Enables Intelligence Augmentation at Unprecedented Scale
In our post-AlphaGo world, the big shift in Cognitive Computing is about the movement from deterministic systems to adaptive, self-learning systems. Cognitive computing changes the paradigm of how computers learn what they are supposed to do, how they reason when faced with wholly new scenarios not explicitly captured in their programming, and how they interact with humans differently.
"Cognitive Computing allows computers to transcend the predefined limitations of their programming, adapt to new inputs and scenarios, and make decisions probabalistically."
—Gaurav Tewari
Cognitive systems are inherently probabalistic and statistical. Conceptually, these systems start to reflect how humans learn. The scaffolding is in place to power previously inconceivable applications that can meaningfully augment and aid people in their daily lives as well as in the knowledge work we perform on a daily basis in today's information economy.
Add in the fact that 90% of the world's data was generated in the past 2 years, and that 80% of all data is unstructured, and you start to see why having adaptive cognitive systmes could be a tremendous asset.
The Programming Era was all about machines that calculate answers to prescribed scenarios, that ingest structured inputs, and which then yield predefined outputs. By contrast the Cognitive Era is about machines that perform probalistic decision making, that are capable of self-learning, reasoning, and evolving, and which are able to deal with unstructured inputs and yield dynamic outputs. It's not surprising that the World Bank characterizes the advent of Cognitive Computing as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
"The Fourth Industrial Revolution…poised to have profound impact across markets and applications."
—The World Bank

Bratz Fall 2012 Artwork Revealed!
June 29, 2012
Hey Bratz Fans!
HUGE update today regarding the stunning new Bratz art for this fall! Previously, we had assumed from the new style of packaging, that art for Bratz had been retired alltogether, and we are beyond thrilled to confirm that we were dead wrong!
O M G That is really Meygan you see in yellow! She's certainly a surprise addition to the line. We cannot wait to see her doll!
The Style Starz looks phenomenal! We love that MGA is combining music with hairplay in this wigged line. We can see Jade channeling her inner Gaga, while Yasmin is VERY Nicki Minaj, and Sasha is totally Katy Perry! Cloe's a rockin' redhead as well!
Of course we have seen the Boutique and Strut it! dolls, but their art is still absolutely stunning! We love Meygan's flowing hair in Strut it!, and Yasmin's Boutique pose – looks like she's running towards a big sale!
Stay Tuned & Stay Stylin'!

Hey Bratz Fans!
Today, our awesome buddy Teahoshi shared a link to one of the press releases about GBK's Gift Suite at this year's MTV Movie Awards – where the Bratzillaz made their public debut! The full article can be read here on LA's The Place 🙂 The following is an excerpt from the article, where the Bratz and Bratzillaz are discussed:
"MGA Entertainment, showcased their Bratz True Hope bald dolls in celebration of their historic arrival at Toys R Us in mid-June. MGA will also gave celebrities an exclusive first look at the new [Bratzillaz] line of dolls, not available in stores until August. [Bratzillaz] are the older cousins of Bratz and they possess magical powers. Gifted to include one [Bratzillaz] doll on site and an invitation to receive new Bratz True Hope dolls when they arrive in stores mid-June. www.mgae.com"
August? Interesting… Of course, the same was said about Masquerade last year – and those made their first in-store appearance on June 21st! I guess we'll all just have to keep an eye out. Now, photos!
In the above photo, we see a table featuring an extensive sampling of gifts – and Bratzillaz girl Meygana Boomstix is one of them! Definitely worth noting is the appearance of pleats in her skirt, just like the prototype! This leads us to wonder if we can expect some other changes on the four other dolls. Interesting for sure!
Of course the True Hope dolls were in attendance too, but those are in stores now anyways hehe 😉 Still, it's nice to see how Trend it! Shadi's outfit looks on Cloe ^_^
Stay Tuned & Stay Stylin'!

Deputy Secretary explains priorities in evolving the future force
Deputy Secretary explains priorities in evolving the future force
WASHINGTON, March 29, 2018 — As the Defense Department examines the path toward evolution of the nation's future military force, "we're going to change that word to revolution," Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick M. Shanahan said here today.
Shanahan spoke at an event sponsored by the Center for a New American Security.
Evolving the Future Force is a multiyear project designed to examine how the joint force should adapt to adversary innovations across the spectrum of conflict, the deputy secretary said. It explores the necessary attributes and capabilities of a future joint force and how to evolve it in a cost-effective manner. The effort is examining opportunities that build on existing programs, capitalize on emerging technologies and leverage a high-low mix of assets, he added.
Shanahan told the audience of industry and academia experts and former government officials about Defense Secretary James N. Mattis' three lines of effort in the National Defense Strategy: rebuilding military readiness while building a more lethal joint force, strengthening alliances and attracting new partners, and reforming the department's business practices for greater performance. The strategy rolled out in January, the budget was delivered in February, and March has been about execution, the deputy secretary said.
Balancing Risk
"Many of these issues, problems, ideas [and] solutions have been either around for a while or they're emerging, and we need to embrace them in a very risk-balanced way," Shanahan said, adding that he has had three execution priorities this month, the first being "moving the needle on readiness."
In doing so, he told the audience, officials are making sure they're not just spending the money, but also are spending on the right things so we can move that needle.
The second priority has been de-risking programs of record, which he explained is making sure they execute flawlessly. The goal is to complete those programs ahead of schedule or under budget, Shanahan said, but the most important priority is accelerating modernization.
Concurrently with pursuing those priorities, he said, officials are pursuing reform in how the Defense Department does business. He noted that in days gone by, the Defense Department did a lot of research and development that later was leveraged in the private sector. Now, he said, much of the private sector's research and development can be useful to the Defense Department, leading to a new approach for DoD: "Rip off and deploy."
Leveraging Private-Sector R&D
"The mindset has always been, 'We'll grow it ourselves -- it'll be organic.'" he said. But now, he told the audience, DoD will leverage more things that have already been done in the private sector. "That also gives us a chance to bring new companies, new ideas, and expand the people that we work with in the Department of Defense," he added.
The challenge in evolving an organization as large as the Defense Department how to move quickly in the same direction and evolve at scale, Shanahan said, adding that this is the basis of thinking behind the National Defense Strategy.
"It isn't [that] the things that we're going to do and the priorities that are being set are extremely important," Shanahan said. "It's the fact that we're all going to work to it. It is a lubrication that allows us to involve more quickly."

Abandoned settlements are usually bleak outposts whose hardy inhabitants eventually give up the fight against the climatic conditions and environment, right? Not so in the case of Tyneham, a Dorset village commandeered by the War Office in 1943 to which the residents were never allowed to return.

This particular Shake Shack custard post is shrouded in a sea of delicious mystery... you see, I had two very different experiences with the Waffles & Bacon custard, and I'm not exactly sure which one the "real" one is supposed to be, haha.
This cup below is the first one I got when I ordered the Waffles & Bacon custard. It tasted mostly of salty bacon (so I figured it must be right) with no evidence of waffles, except maybe the vanilla from the custard itself. Side note - I love when I get the perfect dome custard, I just enjoy the way it looks when I first get it, hah.
Some time later, I went to Shake Shack on another Waffles & Bacon day, and saw someone else eating what looked like a custard that was filled with waffle pieces. I ordered one for myself and got the cup below. Anyone that knows Shake Shack pretty well will first recognize that the wider double-cupped container is actually one for a concrete, not a regular custard. So needless to say I got a LOT of custard, haha. Also, much like the one that I saw someone eating, there were big chunks of waffle pieces clearly mixed throughout this custard, along with the bacon taste.
I don't necessarily think that one was "right" or "wrong", and let's be honest I enjoyed both... but it did strike me as a little odd that both cups (from the same Shake Shack location, mind you) were so different. Maybe I just *need* to try it again a third time to see which one comes up this time?

Following the inaugural Vinos v Vinos match on the Saturday there were a few aching bodies and aching heads arriving at the ground for the season's first friendly match proper… nothing a shot of homebrew Slivovice couldn't sort out, and the mood was soon vibrant and full of optimism for the match ahead.
Vinos drew first blood with captain Voijta winning the toss (well done skip) and elected to bat with what (on paper) looked like a strong batting line-up.
Certainly the opening partnership went some way to prove that with Mik and Rahul demonstrating some disciplined batting, seeing off the new ball and picking their way through the wayward deliveries with some fine strokes. Unfortunately just one run shy of a 50 opening partnership Rahul was trapped right on the toe of his size 10s to go lbw for 18 runs. Still, the foundation was laid and duly added to when Tarique joined Mik at the crease. Playing a perfect Boycott-esque foil to Mik's attacking play, Tarique eventually fell for 11 but between them they had put on over 50 for the second wicket.
Unfortunately the fall of the third wicket signaled a middle order collapse of which England would be proud. No.'s 4-8 came and went with only adding 26 runs to the Vinos total. The only highlight during this batting debacle was of course seeing Mik notch up a well-deserved century eventually caught at mid-wicket for 104. Warm applause rang around the hallowed mouse-ridden turf of Vinor, as P.C.C. and Vinos players alike acknowledged a great knock indeed.
The remaining batsmen also struggled, until a gutsy last wicket stand of 24 between Louis and young Jody Druce dragged the Vinos score over 200 to post a modest total of 212.
So the Vinos took to the field knowing that a tight bowling performance was needed. A defensive field was set with the hope that the P.C.C. batsmen would become frustrated with picking off the odd singles and go for some flamboyant strokes straight into our hands… that was the plan anyway.
To be fair, we started well with Rahul showing good pace, bowling two maidens in his first 3 overs. At the other end Brigham (who narrowly avoided my nomination for Tw*t of the Match, purely for his Monica Seles style visor; the like of which I've not seen since watching Wham's Club Tropicana video in 1983) was also causing problems for the P.C.C. opening pair.
It was in fact our Andrew Ridgley wannabe who made the breakthrough in a terrific fourth over taking two wickets for just two runs. The first a great catch at mid-off from Vojta with the ball travelling at a rate of knots, and the second clean bowled. At this point P.C.C. looked rocked and the game looked winnable for Vinos.
Unfortunately, from that point things just didn't go our way. P.C.C. hit a number of balls high that just dropped short, there were a couple of drops too and the exertions of the previous day's cricket were beginning to show on some weary Vino fielders. Arshad, Rahul and Benji all bowled good spells unrewarded and the frustrations were well summarized by Benji's exasperated cry of "How the f*ck did that f*cking ball not hit the f*cking stumps?!"… It was one of those days in the field…
Highlights though for Jody who managed to get two wickets towards the end of the game; the first outlined in the 'Play of the Match' and the second a really great piece of bowling which left the batman bamboozled and slogging a top edge straight up in the air to be snaffled up by Mik.
P.C.C. won the game comfortably in the end, but plenty of positives to be taken, and lessons learned, from this early season friendly. From a personal point of view in my first competitive match for Vinos, I managed to get a golden duck, knackered my knee so couldn't bowl, subsequently spent my time in the field hobbling over mouse-holes… but still thoroughly enjoyed myself. Don't you just love cricket?!
Man of the Match (MOM) – Probably the easiest decision in the history of sport… Mik, for his fantastic 104. A combination of patience and attacking stroke play; assurance and confidence… bodes well for his season ahead.
Play of the Match (POM) – The bizarre manner in which the PCC batsman Bilal was given out. After pulling a short ball for four, the ball was returned to the middle, and it was only then our eagle-eyed keeper Mik noticed one of the bails had been dislodged and was laying in the crease. Right enough, he enquired of the umpire "How was that"? What followed was quite amusing as a confused Bilal insisted it wasn't him who'd knocked the stumps… Mik was standing three feet away so couldn't have interfered… by this time the rest of the Vinos had all come to the middle to put in their two-pennies worth and after about 5 minutes of arguments for the prosecution and from the defense, the judge and jury finally condemned Bilal out 'hit wicket' for 64!
Tw*t of the Match (TOM) – After the top three Vinos batsmen set us up in a great position the Tw*t(s) of the match really must be the Vinos middle-order for failing to contribute sufficiently enough to put us in a match winning position... What a bunch of Tw*ts!

6 CFD Post-Processing Tips to Improve Visualization Productivity and Quality
By: Abdullah Karimi
Post-processing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data is a vital step in order to accurately derive the right conclusions from the models, present the results to decision-makers, and ensure the best product design. Output files generated by CFD simulations are often huge, making it a daunting task to efficiently create effective visualizations. Design decisions require optimization studies which mean a large number of individual CFD simulations.
How Owners and Engineers Gain Benefits from CFD
By: Reza Ghias
The beginning stages of a building's design are critical. Understanding the airflow and the comfort level can make or break a facility. Southland understands this and applies computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to optimize the design, predict the failure, and cut the cost. In the video blog above, Director of the Advanced Simulations Center at Southland Industries Reza Ghias explains the benefits of utilizing CFD for engineers and owners alike.
Computational Fluid Dynamics as a Key to Innovative Designs
By: Reza Ghias
A chilled water thermal storage system utilizes a series of tanks to store chilled water to supplement chillers in the event of a power failure. Chilled water is diverted from the storage tanks to critical equipment during chiller restarting, bridging the gap in time that the chillers are unable to provide chilled water due to power failure and subsequent restart.

In the event you prefer to be familiar with solution to this question,"What exactly does current me an in math?" This informative article is really for you.
Current is defined as the movement of an electric charge through a conductor. A simple example would be the movement of a battery through a wire. You can see why this makes so much sense, but first let's look at some history.
In automatic paraphrase online the 1970′s, science fiction authors like Stanisław Lem and Neal Stephenson were showing the future using currents for free energy. It seems strange to us today that these authors were living in such a futuristic time, but they had to have known something was going to happen.
Currents are defined in the right hand side of the Merriam Webster dictionary as the movement of charges across a conductor. A simple illustration of the motion of a current is the movement of a battery through a wire. You can see why it would paraphrasemypaper.com/rewrite-my-paper/ make so much sense that current means the movement of a battery.
As a battery gets its positive terminal we are able to specify a current's way at the appropriate hand side of this battery. Let's think about the electric circuit structure with all the cables connected one side. Each and every point from the structure is indicated over the top layer of the earth or perhaps the system, and every single position is joined into a place in the top layer of the earth or perhaps the system.
When a current is applied, it has to go from the conductor to a ground point. So, if the surface of the earth is the ground, then the current in the conductor is always traveling towards the surface of the earth. As long as the unit is a solid object, the current has a path of least resistance. When the conductor is a fluid, the current is always flowing away from the ground.
How can this difference between solid and fluid affect your physics lesson, then? Let's say you know that https://psychandneuro.duke.edu/news when a gas is pumped into a cylinder, the gas forms into a liquid. There are many different gases that could fill a gas cylinder, but since it is a gas, it will have a solid surface.
How can this apply to physics and current means? The gas expands when it reaches the top of the cylinder. The current flows from the solid side of the gas cylinder towards the solid surface of the cylinder and then to the ground, where the current returns to its original level.
For students who haven't taken a physics class that includes a discussion of energy, or even one that just requires the definition of electricity, this explanation may seem rather simple. But for students who have taken a good physics class with extensive explanation, it may seem very complex and confusing.
However, understanding what current means in physics allows you to explain all of physics concepts better, and to make predictions that come true. Currents are also a very powerful concept for physics students because it relates to how things work at very small scales.
If you are a student who is trying to learn about current, remember that it is a very important topic that is often misunderstood. I can't stress enough the value of understanding what current means in physics. When you understand the mechanics of conducting current, you will be able to make a very informed prediction about the future, and that is why current is so important in physics.
Remember, don't ever be afraid to ask questions in your actual physics classroom. Whether you're a student of electricity or not, don't be afraid to ask questions about current in order to make good predictions.

Introduction to Constipation
Constipation is when you are unable to pass stools regularly and/or when you are unable to empty your bowels completely.
What is Constipation?
Constipation is a very common condition that can affect anyone of any age. It is when you are unable to pass stools regularly and/or when you are unable to empty your bowels completely.
Stools are commonly hard and lumps and can be of varying size. Each patient may have constipation for a different reason and it affects people in different ways. Some can experience very severe constipation and it can become a chronic problem which can cause a lot of problems and discomfort.
Constipation is twice as common in women than men and affects all ages of the population.
What causes Constipation?
There are many causes of constipation and it occurs when stools remain in the colon for longer than they should. The large intestines role is to absorb water from stools, which is why stools are usually formed and not liquid (like in diarrhoea). As the stools in constipation are not expelled as frequently, they reside in the large intestine for longer and larger amounts of water are absorbed from them. This causes the stools to be dry and sometimes hard.
An unbalanced and unhealthy diet can cause constipation and you may be referred to a dietitian to discuss a change in diet. Dehydration, illness, lack of exercise, infections and psychiatric conditions can also cause constipation. Certain medications (especially some opioid painkillers such as codeine phosphate and morphine, diuretics, antidepressants, antiepileptics, supplements) can slow down the motility of the bowels, causing constipation. Constipation is of higher prevalence in pregnant women due to a change in the hormones circulating in the body.
Rarer and more serious causes of chronic constipation are ruled out by your doctor through a series of investigations.
What are the symptoms of Constipation?
Patients complain of difficulty passing stools. The frequency at which they go the toilet successfully is lower than their normal rate or lower than is expected for their population group. The failure of passing stools can lead to a build up of faeces in the bowels, causing aching and discomfort, bloating, cramps, nausea and loss of appetite.
Constipation may be caused by other conditions which can cause symptoms such as bleeding and passing of mucus, tiredness and unintentional weight loss. You should inform your doctor if you experience any other symptoms.
Children and babies may suffer from constipation and may be unable to communicate their problems. Parents needs to be aware of the symptoms and discuss management with their child's doctor.
How is Constipation treated?
The treatment of constipation varies depending on the cause and chronicity of the condition. Dietitians, therapists, pharmacists and other specialists may be involved in your care. In long-standing constipation, patients undergo a series of investigations to rule out serious causes. If a cause of constipation is found, this condition/disease is treated and managed. The constipation should resolve as a result of this.
When no cause can be found, the management involves lifestyle advice, education and certain medications called laxatives. There are different types of laxatives and your doctor can change these if you experience any side effects or if they are not effective in your case. Sometimes stools can become 'impacted' within the bowel and obstruct the rectum, which can cause uncontrollable 'overflow diarrhoea'. If this occurs, inform your doctor to receive treatment to clear your bowel.

|This article is about a/an video game in Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight.
A fighting game based on Kamen Rider Dragon Knight was released for the Nintendo DS and Wii platforms by D3 Publisher on November 17, 2009, despite the official trailer announcing a December 2009 release.
Nintendo DS version
The Nintendo DS version was developed by Natsume. In this game, the player uses Advent Cards to perform special attacks, depending on how much the Advent Gauge is filled up, with the Final Vent being used when all three bars are full. The player can charge the Rider's Advent Gauge by touching and holding the Rider until all three bars are full. The player is also able to select two more different cards before starting a battle.
The game's "Ventara Mode" is a series of missions where the player fight Advent Beasts and other Kamen Riders, with a chance of unlocking them (as well as more Advent Cards) in a certain mission. Xaviax is the final boss and has a different ending for each of the playable Riders except for Wrath who fights Dragon Knight as the final boss due to Wrath being possessed by Xaviax as in the show. Xaviax himself becomes a playable character in "Duel Mode" once all 13 Riders are unlocked and the player has defeated every mission (including defeating Xaviax himself) available in the "Ventara Mode" for each Rider.
Despite being a fighting game, it only supports single player.
Wii version
- See also: Kamen Rider: Climax Heroes
The Wii version was developed by Eighting and uses a modified engine based on Kamen Rider: Climax Heroes for the PlayStation 2, which was also developed by Eighting. It even uses the same stages and music. Dragon Knight and Onyx's character models were even recycled from Ryuki and Ryuga's character models. However, the gameplay was changed significantly. The Rider Gauge (now Advent Gauge) does not charge anymore. It can only be filled up by attacking the opponent without special attacks. Depending on how much the Advent Gauge is filled up, the player can perform special attacks by using an Advent Card, with the Final Vent being used when the gauge is full. The player can also select any Advent Card they want before the fight.
Unlike the DS version, the player can only play as the 13 Riders. The rest of the Riders and their Cards can only be unlocked in Arcade Mode and "Mirror World" mode, respectively. Xaviax is only a non-playable boss in both Arcade and "Mirror World".
The game's "Mirror World" mode is a feature not in Climax Heroes and is also a series of missions where the player not only fights Riders in one-on-one battles, but also defeats Advent Beasts in beat 'em up-like stages, which were not featured in the Climax Heroes series until Climax Heroes OOO for the PSP and Wii, with more stages and kaijins. As the player progresses, they are able to unlock Dragon Knight and Wing Knight's Survive Modes (if one or the other is used to complete Mirror World) and gain Rider Points to buy more Advent Cards in Card Mode.
Unlike the single player-only DS version, the Wii version supports up to two players.
With the exception of Wing Knight and Siren, all of the Kamen Riders in the game are the Earth Riders.
These Riders are unlocked at the beginning of the game.
- Kamen Rider Dragon Knight
- Kamen Rider Wing Knight
- Kamen Rider Torque
- Kamen Rider Incisor
