The game, now several versions into development, superbly incorporates the complicated world of Athas with fairly simple, easy to use interfaces and top down graphics for Win95 allowing almost any player on any machine (with a TEN premium account that is) to connect and participate in online quests, turn-based combat parties, player versus player ladders and daily events which evolve on-going stories. Taking the Dark Sun concept a step further, Junglevision for the Total Entertainment Network ( TEN), have added to the SSI, Inc. code, creating, in the title Crimson Sands, an online world where hundreds of players can connect, interact and role-play within the realm of Athas. ![]() The fruits of this development were AD&D Dark Sun 1: Shattered Lands and Dark Sun 2: Wake of the Ravager, both DOS 6.2 games. While the Dark Sun series was still in production, computer games were conceived and worked on by SSI Inc., who also developed the Forgotten Realms series such as Pool of Radiance and Menzoberranzan with TSR. ![]() Although the paper games had a cult following, after a couple of issues, for whatever reason, TSR discontinued the series, leaving fans to continue its development and growth via work consortiums online. The world of Dark Sun began at TSR, Inc. as an Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Second Edition pen and paper game series, taking the races of Forgotten Realms and placing them on the scorched and ruined world of Athas. ![]()

SEE RELATED: Eye stye causes, risk factors and prevention Treatment and diagnosis Some eye and skin conditions are risk factors as well, such as: Hypercholesterolemia (high “bad” cholesterol) Having certain other conditions can also increase the risk. Plus, lack of sleep often leads to rubbing your eyes more frequently, which can be a risk factor. Because a hordeolum is an infection, anything that compromises your immune system, such as stress or lack of sleep, might make you more prone to them. Unhealthy diet, dry skin and a history of styes are also associated with these conditions. Poor hygiene, including not washing your hands frequently and not removing makeup, increases the risk. While anyone can develop a clogged oil gland in the eyelid, there are some potential risk factors. Popping it can spread the infection from gland to gland and make it worse. You should never pop a stye but, instead, allow it to open on its own. Just as you should not pop a pimple, the same is true for a hordeolum. Staph can be easily transferred to the eyes if you touch your eyes without washing your hands. Staphylococcal bacteria are commonly present on our skin, and they can also be picked up by sharing personal items and touching shared surfaces. But it is not possible to catch a hordeolum just by being near someone who has one. Like any bacterial infection, a hordeolum is technically contagious. Demodex mites can also cause them by carrying bacteria into the oil glands or, in large numbers, damaging and blocking them. When the oil glands in the eyelids get clogged by dead skin, dirt or makeup, bacteria like staph can get trapped inside and cause an infection. Most styes are caused by a staph infection. Chalazia are larger and can last for several weeks or even months. They can also form on either lid, but they are more common on the upper eyelid. They usually last from two days to about a week and then resolve on their own. Styes can form on the upper or lower eyelid, and they may be external or internal. If large enough, they can push on the surface of the eye and distort vision. Chalazia can grow to the size of a pea in some cases. ![]() Often, there are no early symptoms of a chalazion until it grows large enough to notice. They typically form a bit farther away from the lashes than hordeola and are not painful. From the outside, a chalazion looks and feels like a lump under the skin. Other symptoms you may notice include:įoreign body sensation (a feeling like something is “in” your eye)īlurry vision (from pus or discharge in the eye)Ī chalazion also forms inside the eyelid. Over time, the stye will surface and create a bump.īoth external and internal hordeola are usually sore or painful and can cause swelling of the whole eyelid. Internal hordeola look very similar, but they are on the inside of the eyelid.Įarly symptoms may include the eyelid feeling especially sensitive and the eye feeling irritated or sore. ![]() They often form an abscess, or “whitehead,” and so resemble a pimple on the eye. The signs and symptoms of styes and chalazia are similar, but there are a few important differences.Īn external hordeolum is a small, red bump that is visible on the outside of the eyelid in the lash line. Other conditions that can cause eyelid bumps include milia, skin tags, papillomas or, in rare cases, cancer. While hordeola and chalazia are the result of blocked and inflamed oil glands, you may have bumps on your eyelid for other reasons. In rare cases, a chalazion may become infected, but it’s still not considered a stye - it’s an infected chalazion. This happens if it doesn’t drain properly after the infection clears up, leaving behind a cyst. Often, a hordeolum will become a chalazion. Chalazia also last much longer than hordeola. But unlike a hordeolum, a chalazion is not usually infected. Like an internal hordeolum, a chalazion is a bump inside the eyelid that forms if a meibomian gland becomes blocked. A chalazion (also called a meibomian cyst or eyelid cyst) is not a stye, but it can be easily confused with one. ![]() ![]() ![]() With the legislative session now underway, this will up their majority in the chamber from a bare 21-19 to 22-18.

Here you'll find answers to our most asked questions. If you have something around the bench that causes vibration, or you pause for any length of time, it's a good idea to drop and pour back a few loads in order to get rid of any powder that may have settled in a dense lump over the metering port. This is so the powder flows under the same conditions every time. One last "tip", uniformity of powder drops is dependent on every stroke of the operating mechanism being the same. ![]() The latter will be a more accurate view of what you'll be seeing in a string of reloads using your powder measure setup. I would rather take a sheet of paper, drop and weigh each load, record the value, then use an online calculator for Standard Deviation or Mean Absolute Deviation. What do you mean you're uncomfortable? The average temperature is "Just Right" Checking powder drops by averaging 10 won't spot the case of one drop being way high and another being way low by the same amount but it sure could be an issue in your firearm when the "high" load is high pressure. Stand with one foot in a pail of ice water and the other in a pail of boiling water. It has major pitfalls as it only shows the average of ten loads dropped, not the consistency from one to the other.Īverages have their limits, for example. I'm not a big fan of the "Ten Average" method. For production handgun runs I don't care if a load is off by a tenth from ideal weight personally. This procedure has worked well enough I use it for all powders, including Unique. But you can use this to your advantage if the disk throws a slightly light or heavy charge - change the amount of powder in the hopper. Also, I note the amount of powder in the hopper as the hopper runs down the charges tend to creep up. Then I get the load closest to what I want and go for it. Then I measure five or six cases to be sure I'm getting the load I want (The disks are notorious for giving lighter loads than published). This is to get a good film on the disk and hopper and "innards" of everything. I find I have to almost fill the hopper and dump it back into the container a few times, then run 10 cases and I don't bother measuring them - I just dump the powder back in the hopper. I have the same press and Lee Pro powder drop. Magnum primers do take a firm strike for reliable ignition. One possible side effect could be misfires if you have a weak or reduced hammer spring. I think you'll find that there won't be much difference although many claim a magnum primer will "open a group up". If you do elect to load with the magnum primers, just start lower and work up, but that's the proper way for any component change. Interchanging of magnum and standard primers is common in cold climates when loads are developed with certain temperature fussy powders. The magnum primer is designed to contain the higher pressures developed by magnum loads and keep them from blowing out when the firing pin strikes them. The biggest difference in a standard or magnum primer is cup thickness. Some regular primers can be just as "Hot" as a magnum primer. I've seen pictures of various primers when fired in a test fixture that shows the various flames developed. I fired a couple rounds with the mag primers and didn't notice any issues in pressure or even loss of accuracy. I had a tray of SP Magnum primers mixed in with regular and loaded a whole bunch of 9mm rounds just like normal. ![]() I don't know if I would do it on purpose but I did once by accident. ![]() ![]() ![]() Up until the 1930s, Rolex had been involved in exploration adventures and had tested watches on Himalayan expeditions to ensure their resistance to extreme temperatures and low oxygen saturation. If the name Explorer dates back to 1953, when the first watch with this patronym was introduced, the history of the model requires us to look further back in the past to understand where it comes from… And yes, “Explorer” has to do with exploration (how surprising!). And one that is important for this article, the Rolex Explorer 14270, produced from 1989 to 2001 and possibly the most important update in the history of the Explorer model. By that we mean 1980s and 1990s models, for instance, early IWC Flieger Chronographs, 1990s TAG Heuer Carreras, the late Mark Speedmasters and, of course, a bunch of Rolex models – Zenith-powered Daytonas, Sea-Dwellers 16600, GMT-Masters 16700, Submariners 16610 (and in fact, most of the 5-digit watches and early-sapphire models). A car that perfectly defines the ‘youngtimer’ concept, the 205 GTI… Not old enough to be a classic but seen by many as a historically important car.īy analogy, we can apply an identical strategy to the watch market and admit that some watches, which are out of production, could potentially gain in collectability, without yet being worthy of vintage status. This usually refers to 1980s and 1990s cars and ranges from a Testarossa to a 205 GTI to an early BMW M3. ‘Youngtimer’…? This concept was first used in the vintage/classic car market, to define models that were not yet classic cars (for instance, in France, a car must be over 30 years old to be granted the collection licence plates and registration) but that were old and important enough to gain a collectable status – but which weren’t necessarily rare and expensive. And this will be the topic of today’s instalment of “The Vintage Corner”. And when it comes down to this kind of watch, the 1990s Rolex Explorer 14270 has quite a few arguments in its favour. However, there’s a new trend coming named ‘youngtimer’ (an identical name is used in the car industry)… Watches that, for some, merge the best of both worlds, the taste of vintage without the complications of vintage, the size of an old watch with the comfort of modernity.

I feel like the momentum in our society to have this conversation is incredible - because it's not just in surfing, or in sport, that women are fighting for equality in the workplace. "Today, I feel proud to be a surfer," Australian surfer Stephanie Gilmore wrote on Wednesday. Tennis' four Grand Slam events pay men and women's winners equally, but that's not the case in many of the tournaments that fill the rest of the calendar. Soccer last year, boosting their base pay by 30 percent. The women's team reached a new labor deal with U.S. Soccer Federation, noting that despite generating almost $20 million more revenue than the men's team the previous year, they were paid roughly a quarter of what the men earned. women's team filed a wage discrimination complaint against the U.S. And that was up from previous tournaments: "Prior to 2007 the women's teams received no prize money at all from FIFA," CNN notes. women's team won the Women's World Cup in 2015, they were awarded $2 million. Women's Soccer Team Members File Federal Equal-Pay Complaint Kelly Slater, an 11-time world champion on the men's WSL tour, was stoked about the move. Surfing will be an Olympic event for the first at the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo, and the league seemed to recognize it could catch an early wave: "The WSL is proud to be the first American-based global sports league to offer gender pay equality," it tweeted. "So yeah, we paid attention to what people have been saying, and we thought that it was a great time to do it." ![]() "Obviously things are changing for women in the world, which is awesome," she told NPR.

"The one thing we wanted to pride ourselves on was being a leader in the space," said WSL Deputy Commissioner Jessi Miley-Dyer, who is herself a former pro surfer. The San Francisco Chronicle notes that California's State Lands Commission made equal pay a requirement for WSL to receive a permit to hold its annual big-wave competition at Mavericks, a famous break off Half Moon Bay.īut the league said its decision wasn't directly related to the photo blowback or the Mavericks issue. In June, the league came under fire for its gender pay discrepancies after a photo from a junior surf competition in South Africa captured the issue succinctly: The winner of the boys' division held up a giant check for 8,000 rand, while the girls' winner held one for 4,000. And so to get this support from the WSL and also all the guys on tour is really exciting." It has been difficult in the past to fight for better waves, and to get respect from the males. "And it still is very hard to catch waves sometimes in some lineups with all the guys. "When I first started surfing, I would go out to lineups and I would be the only girl," she said. It's more just the statement that it makes to be recognized on that level and to be respected as elite athletes alongside the men." ![]() "I honestly didn't see it coming," Carissa Moore, a three-time world champion, told CNN. At WSL events in Australia earlier this year, the men's winner was paid $100,000, while the top woman was paid $65,000.

For a Newtonian liquid, this function is a straight line (curve 1) see figure 6. If your density is not in kg/m³, you can use our density converter or: If the density is in g/cm³, multiply it by 1000 to convert it to kg/m³. Such fluids are named ‘Newtonian liquids’ after Sir Isaac Newton.Ī viscosity function shows the viscosity over the shear rate. the shear rate – acting upon the fluid, it is ideally viscous. If a fluid’s internal flow resistance is independent of the external force – i.e. High-viscosity fluids resist deformation. Fluids which flow easily show a low resistance to deformation. viscous fluids that contain an elastic portion. The specific field of viscometry covers ideally viscous fluids, and – considering certain restrictions – also viscoelastic liquids, i.e. sweet jelly) or as a viscoelastic liquid (like e.g. According to a material’s properties, we either classify it as a viscoelastic solid (like e.g. That is, substances which are neither completely elastic, nor entirely viscous. In everyday life, we mostly come across viscoelastic materials. Scientists specify solid materials as being elastic and liquids as being viscous. Imagine all materials as classified on a virtual scale from solid to liquid. Rheology deals with the flow behavior and deformation of materials. In order to determine a fluid’s viscosity, you have to enter the field of viscometry, a subject area of a wider science called rheology. ![]() |
