HUMOROUS ASPECTS OF PROTOTYPE THEORY: 11 Ways that Words Can Relate to Each Other:
1. Family Resemblance: e.g. Soccer is a “game” but so is “dice”
2. Better Example e.g. “robin” vs. “penguin” (birds)
3. Gestalt Recognition: e.g. “cricket bat” and “cricket umpire”
4. Generativity: e.g. “self” vs. “mother” and “uncle”
5. Membership Gradience: e.g. “rich” (i.e. there are “degrees of membership”
6. Centrality Gradience: e.g. “mother of the year” vs. “working mother”
7. Conceptual Embodiment: e.g. “red” “yellow” and “blue” vs. “purple”
8. Functional Embodiment: e.g. “cat-pet” vs. “flower-smell” or “ball-bounce”
9. Basic Level Categorization: e.g. “apple” vs “Johnathan Apple”
10. Basic Level Primacy: e.g. “brown” and “green” (natural colors vs. other colors)
11. Metonymic Reasoning: e.g. “seven head of cattle” implies seven cattle

Humorous Archetypes, Shadow Archetypes, and Stereotypes Related to the End of the Journey:
The Sage, The Ruler, The Magician, and the Wise Fool
Carl Jung said that there are archetypes and shadow archetypes related the end of the journey (the ruler, the magician, the sage, and the wise fool).
The Ruler moves from taking responsibility for oneself through working with one’s own group or community to concern for society or the planet. Examples include Aslan, King Arthur, Max in Where the Wild Things Are, Jupiter, Obi Wan Kenobee, The Lion King, Woden, and Zeus.
The Magician moves from healing and noticing extrasensory experiences through acting on visions to connecting everything with everything else establishing mental, emotional, and spiritual connections. Examples include Gandalf, Genie, Hermione, Merlin, Mary Poppins, Harry Potter, Samantha in Bewitched, The three Witches in Macbeth, and The Wizard of Oz.
The Sage moves from searching for the truth through skepticism to an understanding of the complexity of truth. Examples include the professor in Gilligan’s Island, Jimminy Cricket, Dumbledore,The Fairy Godmother, Galdalf, Luke Skywalker, and Yoda.
The Wise Fool or Trickster moves from treating life as a game through using cleverness to trick others, to living life one day at a time and enjoying each special moment. Examples include Anansi the Spider, The Cat in the Hat, Coyote, Ferdinand, Forest Gump, The Hare and the Tortoise, Huckleberry Finn, Raven, Tom Sawyer, Sawyer on Lost, Scheherazade, and The Wizard of Oz. In this PowerPoint you will also find Archetypes from Greek, Roman, and Norse Mythology as well as Archetypes from the Bible.

Why would someone choose to participate in a particular sport like cricket, rugby, netball or basketball. What factors makes them to decide what sport they want to participate? Are there any validated questionnaires to use?
For my research, I am looking for a video dataset comprised of cricket bowling action. I would be grateful if someone can recommend me a repository that I can use to obtain the dataset. Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I am currently working on a study of football and cricket venue (i.e. stadium, sports ground) locations. Can any one suggest prominent (and or) current literature/ theories that explains major sports venues location in terms of urban form (and/or strcuture)? Would be grateful, as it will help providing particular point of discussion for the study I am on.
The closest I could arrive is the discourse of Sports Geography, basically led by John Bale, where such relation has not been well addressed.
Your suggestions will be worthy. Thanks in advance.
I am doing a project in which I need to do an impact analysis using Cricket ball in ABAQUS CAE. I've used Density:811.11kg/m3 and used Hyperelastic (Mooney-Rivlin Coefficients) from a research paper as C10=3.09068828, C01=-1.49503368, D1=0. When I used only these properties I got error that one part of ball is expanding a lot. Can you please suggest me the material properties that I need to use.
Stevenson and Rillich have shown the cumulative assessment model to accurately predict cricket behavior. This model says that when the the sum of negative stimuli received from the opponent reaches a particular threshold the animal will flee.
In asymmetric fights in insects (particularly crickets between treatment and control), it seems logical that the fight would have ended earlier and not escalated to a higher fight level if the loser would have retreated earlier. In hindsight, the winner has the higher threshold to flee than the loser. And the winner can't fight the loser at a higher fight level even if he wanted to, if the loser gives up before they get that far. But during the fight, neither cricket would know who had a the higher threshold. So would the decision to keep fighting and increase the intensity be a mutual decision or a decision by the eventual loser? Do crickets just naturally increase the fight duration and intensity until one gives up? Or is this the wrong way to think about it?
The sentences below also seem to indicate that the loser is responsible for escalating the fight.
“In accordance with the core prediction of assessment models, our data show that the actions of the smaller cricket determine all measures of maximum fight intensity. For example, as many as 46% of the smaller crickets retreated before physical contact when the larger displayed its mandibles, compared with only 3% retreats of large crickets during this display behavior” (Rillich et al., 2007).
Blinded previous losers escalate fight and fight for longer but still lose to previous winners (Rillich et al., 2007).
However see Adamo et al., 2015...
"In a second study, treated crickets were paired with untreated control crickets. This second study allowed us to test how well immune-challenged crickets could match the escalating fight intensity produced by an untreated cricket. This test allowed us to estimate their resource holding potential." ---The immune-challenged cricket ended up losing except when a female was present.

We are conducting an experiment, where we are imitating a transport scenario of the House cricket, Acheta domesticus. In that matter, we want to measure RH% and CO2 inside the plastic transport container (10 x 10 x 6 cm). Both constant logging and momentary observations are fine.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to measure CO2 inside the container, which does not require expensive and comprehensive equipment?
Thank you!
There are various components that contribute to successful batsmanship. To name a few: psychology, performance optimization, nutrition, biomechanics, strength & conditioning, morphology, fitness, skills training, etc.
From a biomechanics / technical perspective, the batting technique in cricket consists of various elements such as the grip, stance, backlift, downswing, impact with the ball and follow through.
In your view, list three main components that define modern success of a batsman in cricket. What do you think contributes to successful batsmanship?
Hello everyone. I have a trainer dataset which has the average run, strike rate , runs scored and other characteristics of some player.

I've been thinking about what would be the topic of my thesis, and I feel attracted to develope something related to insects as food. But first, I would like to know what is the perception of it in the scientific community.
Now, I will do a little experiment with carotenes and cricket flour as a test in one of my master's program courses.
Thanks for you attention!
Have a nice day!
"Flatwing" or inability to produce sound in crickets has become an evolutionary tactic.
Some species of Gryllidae in hawaii have adapted to avoid parasitoid flies by not producing its natural mating call.
Flatwing erases sound-producing structures on male forewings.
Umpire Decision Review System(UDRS) is a most sensitive decision making process in today's Cricket.
I am working on eye colour mutants of house cricket (white - W and yellow - Y, wild type, black - B). I conducted series of genetical crosses to check how observed traits (genes) are inherited. I observed phenotypes gradation: black (WW/YY) > yellow (WW/yy) > white (ww/yy). When I cross B x Y in F2 I get typical 3:1 (B:Y), cross of Y x W in F2 give 3:1 (Y:W) too. So nothing special, typical singel gene results. But in cross of B x W I observed that phenotype distribution doesnt fit to theoretical. In my basic model in F2 there sholud be phenotypes proportion 9:6:1 (B:Y:W) but results show: 10:1,8:1,2 (parent generation: black female x white male) or 9,8:2,6:0,6 (parent generation : black male x white female). For some reason genotypes ww/Yy and ww/YY (expected yellow eyes) probably are lethal, that is why there is less yellow eye individuals. I dont know what genes are mutated, they are signed just for model usage (but probably some genes from ommochromes/tryptophan metabolic pathway, check https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304784316_Porownanie_skladu_barwnikow_wzrokowych_w_oczach_linii_mutantow_bialo-_i_zoltookich_swierszcza_domowego_Acheta_domesticus/Compare of eye pigments content in eye-coloured mutants of Acheta domesticus).
Maybe do you have any idea what is going on, why genotypes WW/yy, ww/yy are ok but ww/YY is not.

Comparative Study on Motivation & Chase Management among inter-varsity Cricket Players.
I made extraction of tryptophan metabolites from frass of cricket Acheta doemsticus. I have used silica plate and TLC to analyse extract composition. As a manual source I used Mullins (1973) TRYPTOPHAN METABOLITE EXCRETION BY THE AMERICAN COCKROACH. On the line of solvent front you can find red dots, Does anyone have idea what it can be? In the article there is no information about it. On the picture you can find two similar plates (on both plates in similar order, from the left: 1-tryptophan, 2 - wild, 3 - yellow, 4-white). Blue spots are respectively, from down: hydroksyquianaldic acid, kynurenic acid, xanthurenic acd. Left plate developed in propanol:2%NH4OH, right plate in butanol:metanol:NH4OH.
