...Proudly delivered by DIAMOND CRICKET A great game that combines cricket and rounders and requires tactical thinking Organisation Either divide into two equal teams (best for larger group), or can just select four batters (best for smaller group). Batting: Only four players can bat at one time; the remaining batters should wait in a safe area ready to come in. Switch batters as the game/allocated time requires to ensure everyone gets a chance to bat. Fielding: fielders spread out (but no-one can start by standing inside the ‘diamond’). A fielder at each set of stumps (as a wicket-keeper) is a good idea. Bowling: The bowler (child or teacher, dependent on standard) stands in the middle of all four stumps. The Game Bowler bowls underarm or overarm at any set of stumps. Batters can run if they hit or miss the ball. All four batters run at the same time – in an anti-clockwise direction – with no overtaking. One run is scored when all batters advance safely to next wicket. As soon as the bowler receives the ball back s/he can bowl it again so the batters always need to be ready. The team with the most runs wins. Ways of being out Caught Hit wicket Bowled Run out (optional) When a batter is out, the next batter comes in to replace them. The innings can either be played until all the batters are ‘out’, or can be time-based (i.e.10 mins per innings), which means that batters may have a chance to bat again. Batting and fielding teams swap when ...

...Indung Kapampangan Mountain of myths Ever since I can remember, Mount Arayat has been my one and only constant visual reference of Pampanga. It was the mountain of my childhood, the mountain I passed by thousands of times each morning in my daily commutes to Angeles, and in my college years — the mountain that signalled to me “You’re almost home”, as I rode a Philippine Rabbit bus from Baguio. Indeed, the ancients considered old bunduk Alaya the navel of the earth, from which all directions, all movements of the Kapampangan universe were reckoned. Arayat was, and still is Pampanga’s most famous landmark, a twin-coned mountain that dominated our eastern landscape rising in solitary majesty from the flatlands unlike the Zambales mountain range—although Pinatubo took a bit of the limelight away from her with its 1991 eruption. Nevertheless, Arayat was the original, a 3,564 foot high natural wonder that inspired the many myths and stories I heard with fascination in my youth. In the turbulent 70s, I found quiet entertainment in my Classics Illustrated fairy tale comic books which recounted immortal tales of Greek gods and heroes. In my child’s mind, Arayat became my Olympus, the abode of gods and the scene of their thousand and one adventures. Early on, we thrilled to the tale of the Kapampangan sun god Sinukuan who was supposedly imprisoned in a cave sealed with a “white rock” visible on the mountain side. (The “White Rock” became a bastion for Kapampangan revolucionarios in our...

Mount Pinatubo is a Stratovolcano. Stratovolcanoes are towering coned peaks that is made from one layer of hardened magma, volcano ash and tephra. It erupts routinely. When it erupts, most of the lava oozes out of the volcano and cools into acidic rocks before reaching the bottom of the volcano. These acidic rocks commonly transform into Andesite or Basalt. The average height of stratovolcanoes exceed above 2,500 meters, indicating that Mount Pinatubo, with an elevation of 1,486 meters, is fairly miniature if compared to different stratovolcanoes. https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CAYQjB1qFQoTCMm0vfXa9sgCFQbmpgod9_4NFQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffineartamerica.com%2Ffeatured%2F1-stratovolcano-internal-structure-gary-hincks.html&bvm=bv.106379543,bs.1,d.cGc&psig...

...appearance compared the rest of the people in the Aztec society. The way they dress and the items of clothing they wore were dependent on their success in warfare. In order for an Aztec warrior to gain a rank in the military he must first capture enemy soldiers, the more he captured the higher rank he’d be. If a warrior captured one enemy he would carry around a maquahitl and chimalli, but as they are a small honour they did not have any decorations. He would also be awarded a “manta and an orange cape with a stripe, a carmine-coloured loincloth, and a scorpion-knotted designed cape.” A warrior who has captured two enemies is allowed to wear sandals while on the battlefield. Also, he would wear a traditional feathered warrior suit and a coned shaped hat. A warrior who has captured four enemies is called ocelot or jaguar warriors. These warriors would wear jaguar skin on their body with an opening for his head. These warriors would also carry expensive jewellery and use expensive weapons in combat weapons. The way they styled their hair was also distinctive to their status. The hair would sit at the top of their head and be parted into two sections with a red cord wrapped around it. In conclusion, Aztec warfare was important to acquire territory to expand the empire, stop rebellions, gain political power and to capture enemies in battles to be used as sacrifices their gods. Warfare was a large part of the Aztec culture expecting all males to participate and fight for their empire...

...Effects of Quality Management on Domestic and Global Competition Katrice Bottoms MGT/449 June 21,2011 Brain Vanderjack Effects of Quality Management on Domestic and Global Competition The airline industry is a service industry that strives on safety, first line supervisors often encourage personnel to disregard the safety rules to meet on-time departures. First line supervisors are measured on their performance by airline management on getting the planes in and out as quickly as possible. Since the early days of flight damage to aircraft from ramp operations has been a chronic problem for the airline industry. This paper will discuss two airline corporations, United Airlines and Southwest Airlines the procedure of the organizations, core competency for each, how the procedure produces a competitive service domestic or global, and how Total quality Management effects the position of both corporations. The focus on the turnround plan is to reduce the number of incidents and accidents affiliated with the aircraft turnround with little disruption of performance levels. The first step is the pre-planning stage which is also called the pre-arrival stage. The most important part of this plan is to identify the laed ramp agent who will supervise the whole operation, the agent should have sufficient knowledge and authority to control the activities around the aircraft. Upon the arrival to the gate, there should be a least four to five agents. Through the pre-arrival process...

...A STUDY ON SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY DR. Anu Maheshwari DR. Sanjay Shankar Mishra Guest Lecturer, Prof. & Hod of Commerce Dept. Govt. T.R.S.College, Rewa (MP) Govt. T.R.S.College, Rewa (MP) The changing business conditions of the 21st century has led to companies facing issues ranging from globalization, economic uncertainty to new technologies and increasing consumer demands. In the automobile industry, as manufacturers design and build vehicles globally, their supply chains become increasingly complex with challenges that often stand in the way of profitability and higher shareholder value such as long order-to-delivery lead times, unreliable production schedules, excess inventory across the supply chain, lengthy demand planning cycles and lack of visibility of suppliers. The effect of the global economic meltdown increased the pressure on automotive executives to make right decisions about their supply chain for better performance. In a highly challenging and competitive environment such as today, where supply chain is a popular tool for improving the organizational competitiveness. OVERVIEW OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN AUTO-INDUSTRY [pic] The Auto Ancillary Industry can be Further Divided into Six Main Segments: ❖ Engine Parts - Engine assembly, fall into 3 broad categories: core engine parts; fuel delivery system; and others. ❖ Electrical Parts - The main products in this category include starter motors, generators...

...mechanistic theory of perception. According to Descartes, the eyes perceived the events of the real world and transmitted what they saw to the pineal by way of "strings" in the brain. The pineal responded by allowing animal humors to pass down hollow tubes to the muscles, where they produced the appropriate responses. The size of the pineal has been exaggerated in this wood engraving, which first appeared in 1677.”(Richard J. Wurtman and Julius Axelrod) in stating this, one can’t not help but begin wonder how significant the pineal gland is to our existences. The pineal gland 1 What are the Functions of the Pineal Gland and How Does it Have an Effect on our Daily Life? A review of the literature What is the pineal gland? The pineal gland is a coned shaped endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. It is placed in the center of the two halves of your brain in a groove where the two halves of the thalamus join. The full functions of this gland however have been debated on for quite some time now. Some who study this gland believe it could be a gate way to our true inner being as well as having significant part of our daily life. From the words of Richard j Wurtman and Julius Axelrod since the functions of the thymus gland has been proven through demonstrations, the pineal gland has become one of the last enigmas of the mammalian organs. But let us ask ours self some questions on this matter: 1.What are the functions of the pineal gland? 2.How does it have effect on our daily life? Researchers...

...Kollam Kollam or Quilon, an old sea port and town on the Laccadive Sea coast in Kerala, India, on the Ashtamudi Lake. Kollam, once called Desinganadu, had a sustained commercial reputation from the days of the Phoenicians and the Romans. Fed by the Chinese trade, it was regarded by Ibn Battuta, as one of the five ports which he had seen in the course of his travels during twenty four years, in the 14th century. Kollam District is a veritable Kerala in miniature is gifted with sea, lakes, plains, mountains, rivers, streams, backwaters, forest, vast green fields and tropical crops of every variety. History[edit] An ancient trading town - trading with Chinese, Arabs and other Orientals - with historical citations of trade dating back to Biblical history and the reign of Solomon (supported with a find of ancient Roman coins). Internal trade occurred through the Punalur Pass connecting the ancient town to Tamil Nadu. The overland trade by bullock cart of its produce pepper and the trade over the waterways connecting Allepey and Cochin ensured trade linakges that grew into shaping it as a town playing host to one of the earliest industrial townships. The rail links established to Tamil Nadu supported firmer trade links. The marine exports processing factories and the processing and packaging of cashewnuts took the produce of these shores across the globe. The State of Kerala is looking at trade to drive development that is environment friendly and sustainable. Kollam was a flourishing...

...1)What does the study of humanities involve? What is the relevance of humanities in architecture? 1.The study of humanities involves academic disciplines that study human culture and history. The humanities include ancient and modern languages ,literature, philosophy, religion, and visual and performing arts such as music and theatre. We learn about distant cultures or past cultures. Through the exploration of humanities we learn how to think creatively and critically to reason and ask questions. These efforts preserve the great accomplishments of the past help us understand the world we live in and give us tools to imagine the future. 2.What are the broad divisions of human history? Write a brief on each. Prehistory (meaning "before history", or "before knowledge acquired by investigation", from the Latin word for "before," præ, and historia) is the span of time before recorded history or the invention of writing systems. Prehistory refers to the period of human existence before the availability of those written records with which recorded history begins. More broadly, it can refer to all the time preceding human existence and the invention. The term "prehistory" can refer to the vast span of time since the beginning of the Universe, but more often it refers to the period since life appeared on Earth, or even more specifically to the time since human-like beings appeared.[4][5] In dividing up human prehistory, prehistorians typically use the three-age system, whereas scholars...

...Porosity Porosity is defined as the percentage or fraction of void space to bulk volume of rock. If the sedimentary particles of a rock were of uniform size and packing, as shown inFigure 1 , Figure 1 Figure 2 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the calculation of porosity would be a simple exercise in solid geometry. Of course, actual reservoir rock is a much more complicated mixture of particles, and its porosity must be measured directly from core samples or estimated by well log analysis. Figure 3 The proportion and distribution of void space in a reservoir rock can be modified by the processes of cementation, solution, fracturing, and recrystallization. In reservoir engineering, primary porosity refers to the void spaces remaining after the sedimentation of particles into the rock matrix. Secondary porosity is caused by solution channels, fractures, and vugs in the bulk volume of the matrix, and is developed subsequent to the deposition of the rock. Where both types of porosity exist, the system is referred to as a dual porosity system. The production sequence of a dual porosity system may be very different from that of a primary porosity system.Table 1 (below) gives a general range of reservoir rock matrix porosities. Generally, reservoir rock martix porosities in the lower ranges are of commercial interest only when a secondary porosity system is present. Table 1--Rock matrix porosities (after Levorsen, 1967) : Negligible 0-5 Poor 5-10 ...
