Pétanque is a form of boules where the goal is to throw metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet or jack. The game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel, but can also be played on grass, sand or other surfaces.
The nearest UK equivalent is crown green bowls, where the boules are rolled rather than thrown.
Founded (and most commonly played) in France, pétanque is also popular throughout many parts of Spain. This organised game was taking place in the coastal Costa Blancan town of El Campello, near to Alicante.

New Mexico has been been in a major drought situation for more than five years.
To see thunderheads like this forming in the afternoon is a major event!
We have finally been getting rain on a regular basis for the past week and I can smell the aroma of the pinon trees in the air.
We actually refer to this as Monsoon Season!

This is the form "lid" showing the layers that make up the rough parabolic shape. Since this is a negative mold, the parabola bulges out, not in. In order to reduce the amount of material removed during the turning process, a very rough parabolic shape was constructed with layers of material. Look closely at the top edge on the left side: I have added a parabolic curve to demonstrate where the actual surface will be once the cutting process is finished.

James -
Here are photos of the tornado forming, along with a description of each.
My friend, Nick Lee, is a storm spotter. He and I were out taking these
photos that day. He is the copyright owner and has given me permission to
share them with you.
Dirk
P.S.: Please use the descriptions somehow in your description of the photos.
Description of photos:
Tornado-1: shows the storm coming around the corner into view.
Tornado-2: Inflow notch seen - this is where the air feeding the updraft was
located at.
Tornado-3 & 4: Tornado on ground getting closer to City of Cullman. At this
point it was passing Good Hope and going through Cullman County.
Tornado-5: Here you can see another vortex forming. What we were witnessing
was a rapid intensification of this storm from an EF2 to a multi-vortex EF4.
Tornado-6: Even though the funnel is hard to see, the tornado was still on
the ground. Here you can see the multiple vortexes spinning around the one
in the middle that looks like it is invisible.

Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that can form in the kidneys, and they can be very painful and can cause damage to the kidneys. Here are five steps that can help in preventing kidney stones:
1) Stay hydrated:
Drinking plenty of water is one of the most important things you can do to prevent kidney stones. Water helps to dilute the concentration of minerals and salts in the urine, which can help to prevent the formation of kidney stones. Experts recommend drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water a day.
Staying hydrated is very important for maintaining good health and well-being. Here are some tips to help you stay hydrated:
Drink plenty of water: Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day, and more if you are physically active or in a hot climate.
Eat hydrating foods: Foods such as watermelon, cucumber, and celery contain a lot of water and can help you stay hydrated.
Avoid dehydrating beverages: Limit your intake of alcohol, coffee, and sugary drinks, as they can dehydrate you.
Set reminders: Set reminders to drink water throughout the day, especially if you are prone to forgetting.
Carry a water bottle: Carry a reusable water bottle with you so that you can easily refill it throughout the day.
Remember, staying hydrated is crucial for good health, so make it a priority in your daily routine.
2) Eat a balanced diet:
A diet that is high in sodium, animal protein, and sugar can increase the risk of developing kidney stones. Eating a balanced diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables, and low in animal protein and sodium, can help to reduce the risk of kidney stones. Experts also recommend reducing the intake of oxalate-rich foods, such as spinach, rhubarb, and chocolate.
Eating a balanced diet is important for maintaining good health and well-being. Here are some general guidelines for achieving a balanced diet:
Include a variety of food groups: To get all the essential nutrients your body needs, aim to include a variety of food groups in your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats.
Focus on whole foods: Try to prioritize whole, minimally processed foods over highly processed options, as they tend to be more nutrient-dense and better for your overall health.
Get enough protein: Protein is important for building and repairing tissues in the body, so make sure to include sources of protein in your diet such as lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, legumes, and nuts.
Choose healthy fats: Include sources of healthy fats in your diet such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish, which can help to lower inflammation and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Limit added sugars and salt: Too much added sugar and salt in your diet can increase the risk of chronic diseases, so try to limit your intake of sugary drinks, snacks, and processed foods.
Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water is important for maintaining good health, so make sure to stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking water or other low-sugar beverages.
Remember that everyone's dietary needs may differ based on their age, gender, activity level, and health status. Consulting a healthcare professional or registered dietitian can help you determine what a balanced diet looks like for you.
3) Limit alcohol and caffeine:
Consuming too much alcohol and caffeine can increase the risk of kidney stones. Alcohol and caffeine can dehydrate the body, which can make the urine more concentrated and increase the risk of stone formation. Experts recommend limiting alcohol and caffeine intake to reduce the risk of kidney stones.
Limiting alcohol and caffeine can have health benefits and help you feel your best. Here's some information on how to do so:
Limit alcohol intake: Drinking too much alcohol can have negative effects on your health, such as increasing the risk of liver disease, certain cancers, and mental health problems. If you choose to drink alcohol, it is recommended to limit your intake. For men, it's recommended to have no more than two drinks per day, and for women, no more than one drink per day.
Reduce caffeine intake: While moderate caffeine intake is generally considered safe for most people, consuming too much caffeine can cause negative effects like anxiety, irritability, and sleep disturbances. To reduce your caffeine intake, consider swapping out some of your caffeinated beverages for decaffeinated options, and avoid consuming caffeine close to bedtime to prevent sleep disturbances.
Be mindful of hidden sources: Many beverages and foods contain caffeine or alcohol, even if they don't taste like it. Be mindful of these hidden sources and pay attention to how much you're consuming.
Overall, it's important to listen to your body and be mindful of how much alcohol and caffeine you're consuming. If you're concerned about your intake, or if you're experiencing negative effects from consuming these substances, consider talking to your healthcare provider or a mental health professional for guidance.
4) Exercise regularly:
Regular exercise can help to reduce the risk of kidney stones by helping to maintain a healthy weight and reducing the risk of obesity. Obesity is a risk factor for kidney stones, and maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise can help to reduce this risk.
Regular exercise is essential for maintaining good health and well-being. Here are some benefits of regular exercise:
Improved physical fitness: Exercise can help you build and maintain muscle, increase cardiovascular health, and improve flexibility and balance.
Weight management: Regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight or lose weight if necessary.
Reduced risk of chronic diseases: Exercise can lower the risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
Improved mental health: Exercise is known to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and improve overall mood.
Better sleep: Regular exercise can improve the quality and duration of sleep.
To reap these benefits, it's recommended that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week, plus muscle-strengthening activities at least two days per week. It's also important to choose activities that you enjoy and to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine whenever possible, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator or going for a walk during your lunch break.
5) Take medications as prescribed:
If you have a medical condition that increases your risk of kidney stones, such as hypercalciuria or cystinuria, your doctor may prescribe medications to help prevent the formation of kidney stones. It's important to take these medications as prescribed and to follow your doctor's recommendations for preventing kidney stones.
Taking medications as prescribed is essential for getting the maximum benefit from them and for avoiding potential health risks. Here are some reasons why it's important to take medications as prescribed:
Effective treatment: Medications are designed to treat specific conditions or symptoms. Taking them as prescribed ensures that you are getting the full therapeutic effect.
Safety: Taking medications as prescribed can help prevent adverse effects or complications. It's important to follow instructions such as not mixing medications that may interact with each other or taking certain medications with food.
Consistent blood levels: Many medications need to be taken consistently to maintain consistent levels in the bloodstream for effective treatment.
Avoid drug resistance: Taking medications as prescribed can help prevent the development of drug resistance. In some cases, taking less medication than prescribed can lead to drug resistance and treatment failure.
To take medications as prescribed, it's important to follow the instructions given by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Make sure to understand how often and when to take the medication, what to do if you miss a dose, and what side effects to watch for. If you have any questions or concerns about your medications, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist. It's also important to keep a list of all the medications you are taking and to inform your healthcare provider of any changes to your medication regimen.
Overall, preventing kidney stones requires a combination of lifestyle changes and medical management, if necessary. By following these steps, you can help to reduce your risk of developing kidney stones and promote better kidney health.

Granitul este o forma ingenioasa a rocilor. Ceea ce inseamna ca piatra granit este modelat din magma. Aceasta roca vulcanica este faimoasa pentru ca este cea mai tare si cea mai densa roca din lume si a luat nastere datorita caldurii extreme si presiuni aplicata la suprafata. Granitul a fost folosit pe larg ca o piatra dimensionala, ca si placi pentru podele in cladiri publice si comerciale, cat si la monumente.
Granit si marmura - marmura si granit. Odata cu cresterea numarului de ploaie acida in anumite parti ale lumii, granitul a inceput sa inlature marmura, care era pe primul loc, din moment ce este mult mai durabil. Pardoseala granit slefuit este de asemenea o alegere populara datorita durabilitati si a calitatilor estetice

Bought this Sunday - $20., a Target exclusive. Basically, you apply decorator tape to the back of a provided paper pattern, cut it out on the other side, then use more tape to close seams and fit it to the dress form or the MH doll of your choice. Kind of pricey for what it is, but I couldn't resist that dress form ! And maybe I can alter the patterns to use them with fabric...

QUT Structural Engineering 2
Design was for a lightweight 0.9m column to carry a load of 110kN (11 tonnes). The column was to be made from G250 steel sheets with a yield stress/strength of 310MPa. The maximum number of plate elements was 15.
Of the 6 columns short-listed for testing (out of approx. 40 designs), 4 columns were actually tested, all of which failed above 120kN.
