, Jack Shantry described Durham's total of 105 for 3 as par. The visitors, however, went about proving it was above that on a wet outfield and two-paced track. Usman Arshad bowled with great variation, taking all the pace off, and along with John Hastings proceeded to strangle the Worcestershire chase. That was until Andrew, only playing because of the shortened game, armed with his long-levered bat demonstrated that batting wasn't as arduous as others had may it out to be. Only Calum MacLeod played with any sort of fluency for Durham as their innings struggled to gain the momentum and impetus expected in such a short game.
Chris Russell took two wickets in as many balls to highlight the deviant nature of conditions. Mark Stoneman could only pull straight to deep square leg before, next delivery, Phil Mustard could only glove one that unexpectedly lifted through to Ben Cox.
If the shortest format requires thinking outside of the box, Worcestershire certainly meet that criteria. Their bowling attack is as unorthodox as it comes. Mitchell took all the pace off the ball - regularly clocking just 48mph - and although he went wicketless, Saeed Ajmal ensured there would be no Durham acceleration.
MacLeod, who scored an unbeaten 43 which included three sixes, was the standout performer as he propelled his side, alongside Gordon Muchall, past the 100 mark with an unbeaten stand of 72 off just 42 balls. But it should have been a partnership of 74. Richard Oliver, patrolling the leg side boundary, managed to cling onto a towering MacLeod swat but landed on the boundary cushion before releasing the ball. A four was given and despite video evidence clearly showing it should have been a six, the decision couldn't be changed.
In truth, it didn't matter. For much of their innings, Worcestershire plodded along, losing wickets at regular intervals as Durham's bowlers utilised conditions brilliantly. When New Zealander Colin Munro fell lbw to Hastings, giving the bowler his third wicket, the contest seemed all but over. Andrew, though, had something of a point to prove after being left in the shadows in recent weeks. He lofted a full toss from Chris Rushworth down the ground, then swatted a boundary to the leg-side before falling trying to repeat the trick next ball. Whiteley proceeded to finish off the job.What is Fused Deposition Modeling?
Models created with FDM have great strength and temperature resistance at low prices.
You can think of FDM as a computer-controlled hot glue gun that precisely deposits plastic to create parts.
Fused Deposition Modeling (trademarked by Stratasys) is an additive manufacturing process. The machine builds up layer upon layer of the 3D model, starting with the bottom layer. After some hours have passed, the model is finished.
The moveable head has a heated nozzle which extrudes a fine filament of plastic (such as ABS) or metal in some cases. The material is laid down on the previous layer as sets of strips, which can be curved as they are laid down. The process is somewhat slow and often leaves ridges (stair stepping) on angled surfaces, depending on the printer's resolution. A support structure is also built during printing to support any overhanging features. After each layer is finished, the tray drops so that the machine can begin the next layer.
One great benefit of FDM is that it can use real thermoplastic materials, such as ABS plastic. This allows designers and engineers to use real-world materials for strength, durability and temperature resistance.
So, you can see how volume discounts can be a big factor, especially for processes that are slow in the vertical direction.There are many serious problems in our world that deserve our attention; cruelty to animals is one of them.
No one organization can fight all moral and social crimes; for example, the American Heart Association fights heart disease, but not cancer or any other disease. Save the Children helps starving children, but not disabled veterans. Fortunately, PETA’s pro-animal activities have great power to better the human condition as well. As vegetarians, we advocate eating lower on the food chain, which would not only save 25 billion innocent animals from slaughter each year, but would also save humans from a diet known to cause heart disease and cancer.
We can help feed starving children around the world by choosing carefully what we put on our plates. Adhering to a plant-based diet makes 16 times more food available for other hungry people than consuming a meat-eating diet. Eliminating intensive factory farming of animals would also save precious fresh water and topsoil.

Visitors since 1995 - it broke due disuse!Smartphone Market Leaders, Samsung And Apple, Both Lost Share In Q1, Says Analyst
Strategy Analytics has put out its latest smartphone market figures for Q1, and the market watcher has Samsung and Apple both losing share in the quarter.
While Apple’s marketshare being squeezed by Android OEMs is nothing new, Samsung’s dip is the first annual marketshare loss for the company in the smartphone category since Q4 2009, according to the analyst — underlining a sense that the Korean electronics giant is losing momentum as rival Android OEMs continue to improve their offerings.
Galaxy brand phone maker Samsung shipped 89 million smartphones globally in Q1, taking a 31% marketshare, according to Strategy Analytics, down slightly from the 32% it took a year earlier.
Meanwhile Apple shipped 43.7 million iPhones globally during the quarter, taking a 15% marketshare — down from the 17% it commanded in Q1 2013.
According to Strategy Analytics’ figures, the combined global smartphone share of Samsung and Apple is down from 50% last year to 47% in Q1 this year.
Despite the two biggest brand smartphone makers slipping in the quarter, Strategy Analytics said global smartphone shipments grew by a third (33%) annually to reach 285 million units in Q1. So the size of the market is continuing to expand, but it’s becoming increasingly competitive — hence the two dominant brands losing share to rivals.
The analyst said Samsung continues to face tough competition from Apple at the higher-end of the smartphone market and from Chinese brands such as Huawei at the lower-end.
While it said Apple’s loss of share is down to continued lack of presence in the entry-level category (aka: there’s still no budget iPhone) — where it’s losing volumes in fast-growing emerging markets such as Latin America. At the premium end of the smartphone segment Apple is continuing to perform strongly, according to the analyst.
Senior Analyst Linda Sui noted that Huawei and Lenovo are both threatening to take more marketshare from the market leaders.
“There is more competition than ever coming from the second-tier smartphone brands,” she noted in a statement. “Huawei remained steady with 5% global smartphone marketshare in Q1 2014, while Lenovo has increased its global presence from 4% to 5% share during the past year.
“Huawei is expanding swiftly in Europe, while Lenovo continues to grow aggressively outside China into new regions such as Russia. If the recent gets approved by various governments in the coming months, this will eventually create an even larger competitive force that Samsung and Apple must contend with in the second half of<?php
