Touhou Pocket Wars casts the player themselves as the main character, who is a Touhou-obsessed otaku that gets into the Gacha craze. Occasionally dreaming about the girls and Gensokyo in general, though, their ties to Gensokyo seem to be unusually strong.
The player starts off getting gechas and gets to higher rankings. One day , he spots Ran Yakumo and Chen fixing the Great Barrier. Ran Yakumo tries to mind wipe the player when suddenly the gechas turn into familiars. The familiars helped to fan off the two Youkais and all of them were sucked into Gensokyo. The player starts helping Gensokyo to solve the mysteries that were happening.
Note : We would assume that you would be doing the "part-time work" , Visiting "Shop" (to get spell cards/more characters for battle) , "Gaming Center" ,leveling up your characters and spell cards , adding health/attack/hit/dodge and adding assist points.
Note : If the player DO NOT have 3 or more sets of Gatcha , he/she would it hard to move about in the maze as you are only able to use each team [4 gachas] once in the maze.[Except for battling with the maze's boss/escaping from the whole maze(pressing the back button) , the gachas will not be able to appear more then once in the maze.] If the player refuses to fight at that point of time , you will forfeit and exit the maze (or go back to your house if its midnight)
Note : You Only can battle in tournaments if you have 3 or more sets of gachas.
-Warned you , Spoilers Ahead , Feel Free to read the storyline-
Story Line
Note : This is based on 2.02 ENGLISH
After getting 4 gechas and achieving rank D , The player would be able to access the event "???" . When clicked , the player would start "talking" to himself about Gensokyo , he/she hid into an alleyway and laughed to prevent people from thinking that he/she is a asylum escapee. The player would hear a voice and he/she would spot Ran Yakumo and Chen repairing the Great Barrier. Ran would explain that they were investigating the gaps from the outside world. The player would think that he/she is dreaming about touhou but realized that Ran's tail were actually moving. Chen would tell Ran that they had been spotted by a human , Ran started chasing the player in order to mind wipe him/her. The player would accidentally drop their gechas , he/she would retrieve the gechas. The player would realize that ran was too close to him/her when suddenly the gechas turn into familiars and defended the player.
Note : They are level 80.
Ran and Chen were shocked that the player could use familiars , the player still thinks that this was a nightmare. Chen points out to Ran that the gap in the Great Barrier was closing , they quickly hop into the gap. The player would think that its safe but he/she was suddenly sucked into the gap of the Great Barrier.
The player wakes up in Gensokyo near Hakurei Shrine , Reimu was surprised when the player knows her name and the player starts explaining about the outside world's knowledge about Gensokyo. Reimu points out that the gap where the player came from was a crack. Reimu points out that most of the people in Gensokyo could not manipulate the borders of gaps , the player somehow was able to enter/exit from the gap. An Earthquake occurred at the shrine but nobody was injured or any properties were destroyed. Reimu states that she is going to leave to do something , the player becomes worried that he/she might become Youkai food. Reimu thinks that the player was able to help her so she brought him/her along , dragging him/her in the air.
Reimu brings the player to Heaven as she suspects Tenshi that she is creating the earthquakes again. Iku tries to explain to Reimu that Tenshi was not responsible for the earthquake. Reimu stops suspecting Tenshi and she was about to return to ground when Tenshi says that Reimu should deserve a punishment for treating Tenshi like the perpetrator and making fun of her. The player realize that Iku has already started making a wide berth of space between her and the battle field. A danmaku battle started in front of the player. Tenshi launches some danmaku which misses Reimu and nearly hits the player when his/her gechas turn into familiars again.
Iku prompts Tenshi to stop battling as further hostilities would not benefit to either side. Reimu and Tenshi were still fuming with rage , Tenshi lowered her Sword of Scarlet Perception unwillingly while the player's gatchas return to normal. Reimu brings the main character back and Iku tells reimu that something fell off the crack in the sky (most likely) before the earthquake occurred.
As Reimu and the player arrives at Hakurei Shrine , Marisa greeted Reimu by shouting at her. Apparently , Marisa wanted to talk to Reimu about something (and leech her food at the same time). Reimu introduces Marisa to you.
Marisa explains that something strange is going on in the forest and she came to tell Reimu about it. The forest's miasma when sky-high all of the sudden and Marisa cant endure. She notices that something was strange so she quickly escapes from the forest. The player points out that if there was anybody else in the forest (hiding the fact that he/she knows about Alice living in the forest) . Reimu was thinking about bringing the player along with her to find Alice. Marisa tells the player not to worry as she has some stuff that could protect the player from miasma , she passes the player a drink (protects from miasma for 12 hours) and a amulet (that allows the player to breath inside the forest) . Marisa asks the player to sit on her broom for transportation.
NOTE: Highly suggest that the player has 4 or more gachas on hand.
The player seems to be shaken by the speed that he/she is traveling on the broom. They would be attacked by monsters [rather , mushrooms]
After reaching the end of the maze , The player and the two girls would reach Alice's house. Marisa hammers to call out Alice. The door would be answered by a shanghai doll but it has not appeared yet. Marisa was keen to break the door , when suddenly you and Marisa was dragged back by Reimu , barely escaped from Alice's doll's attacks. Marisa immediately realize that something was wrong with Alice. Reimu doubts that Alice was angry at Marisa as Alice seems to be affected by miasma.
After defeating Alice , the girls brought (knocked out)Alice along and the player left the forest.
They arrive at Hakurei Shrine , revealing that the player had fell asleep during the trip . Alice became better and they planned to go to the Garden of Sun to retrieve something. The player would clean his/her gatchas as it became dirty , Alice notices them and asks if the player could lend her to examine it. Alice says that the gatchas (she calls it dolls as Gensokyo does not have gachas) seem to be emitting feelings , she states that this gachas might be artifact spirits (Tsukumogami) and has a mysterious power within this gachas.
Alice says that "In short , whether you're a normal human does not matter.All you need to think about is what kind of orders to give them. They would listen to your orders.I'm quite sure about that..."
The girls and the players arrive at the Garden of Sun (fields of flowers) , they were greeted by monster flowers. After beating the flowers , it is stated that the monster flowers attacked recklessly and they damaged the flower field.Yuuka Kazami would appear while they were talking about her and the monster flowers. Alice gives Yuuka a new umbrella that Yuuka requested. Yuuka asked about the unsightly mess that they had created. The player would suddenly shout , and Reimu asks the player to keep quiet. Marisa asks Yuuka about the monster flowers.
Yuuka explains that "she loved all types of flowers and would never do anything indecent to them , the flowers were here in the beginning.They did not suit the beauty of this field , but they did not deserve to be killed either."
Apparently , Yuuka sealed the flowers but somehow the seal was broken recently without her knowing it. Yuuka wishes an explanation about the flower fields and she wants to give them punishments. Reimu says that if the player do not protect himself/herself properly , he/she might be killed by Yuuka.
Yuuka decides to end the battle after defeating her , she immediately change back to her pleasurable and beautiful aura. Yuuka explains that there is a gap in the sky that just appeared while she was fighting , and so she stopped attacking.
Youmu was the one who popped out from from the gap and she seems to be injured. She was also wondering why she is here while being attacked by Yuyuko , she says that something was wrong in Hakugyokurou. Youmu says that a ghostly aura fell upon Hakugyokurou and Yuyuko seemed to be affected by the aura , and Youmu belives that the aura does not come from Saigyou Ayakashi.
The border that is dividing Hakugyokurou and Gensokyo into two parts were weakening , so were the other borders protecting them from the "other world(human world)". The girls pin point to the only person that can manipulate borders and gaps in Gensokyo.The girls divided among themselves into groups (that were not equal) and went to do their jobs , Yuuka asks the player to follow her to the Netherworld.
Before the player could object , Yuuka trapped the player and brought the player along with her to the netherworld. The girls and the player continued walking and met Yuyuko. The falling cherry blossoms made the player day dream and nearly touched Saigyou Ayakashi's butterflies of death. They realized that they had to seal Saigyou Ayakashi , Saigyou Ayakashi sent the butterflies to attack you.
Youmu casts her 'Sword Technique : Flashing Cherry Blossoms' and knocked out Yuyuko . Yuuka was wondering how to seal Saihyou Ayakashi when Yukari Yakumo appeared and sealing the tree before the player could say anything.
After Saigyou Ayakashi was sealed , Yuyuko woke up. Yuuka asks Yukarito if the gaps and borders that have been occurring was her doing. Yukarito declines to say anything but tells her that somebody weakened Saigyou Ayakashi's seal somehow weakened the border between netherworld and Gensoyoko. Yukari tells Yuuka that if this continues , the Great Barrier would be affected and might be destroyed. The player asks Yukari if anybody that she had seen before had the same ability to control borders. Yukari says that she had to search deep into her sea of memories. Yukari suggests to Yuuka that she should bring the player to the Emma to judge the gechas
Yuuka brings the player to Higan. Komachi tells Yuuka to be careful with the player. Yuuka wonders why Komachi is not doing her ferry duties , Komachi explains that the main office is busy and they do not have the time to ferry spirits. Komachi says that the gaps and border plobems have been occuring in Higan and Shikieiki Yamaxanadu (Shiki/Eiki) have been re-sealing evil spirits that have been set free. Komachi leaded Yuuka to the Emma.
Yuuka explains the Eiki on the situations that have been occuring , Eiki thanks you for helping them to re-seal Saigyou Ayakashi and reduce large amount of Sins that they had been committing slightly. Eiki helps you to judge the gachas(familiars).
Eiki states that the player and gatchas are not directly connected to the current incident that is happening in Gensoyoko.While Eiki was about to continue talking , Yuuka brings you back to the surface as she states that hearing Eiki's lectures annoys her. Eiki stopped her lecture as Yuuka dragged the player away from her. Komachi escorted Yukka and the player back to gensoyoko.
As soon as Komachi brings Yuuka and the player to Gensoyoko , she leaves and returns to the netherworld. Yuuka started becoming interested in your gatchas and the player promised that he/she would show Yuuka his/her new gatcha when he/she buys one when suddenly Aya and Nitori appeared. Aya passes the player a newspaper , the headline states about a hole in Gensoyoko.
Aya suddenly becomes interested in why Yuuka and a human were being together. Yuuka explains that its nothing. Nitori asks if Yuuka wanted to follow her to explore the hole. Yuuka told asks them if she could pass the player to them as she is finding the player troublesome to bring around. Nitori agreed and helped her to carry you as Yuuka returned to the flower fields(Garden of Sun).The player makes a remark about feeling like a carry-on bag. Yuuka tells the player not to forget the player's promise.
Aya started being interested in the promise and tries to make the player to fill her with information.
...to be continued updating... Everything below this line was written by me, --CybeastFalzar 16:35, August 3, 2011 (UTC) OK, so the original author appears to have skipped out on this, so i'll take it from here. From Gensokyo's map, you enter the mysterious crack. it's a maze, so you'll need more than one team. I didn't have more than one, and had to grind. Upon entering, the player reveals that the whole time getting there, Aya has been pestering him about the promise he made to Yuka. (Yuuka = Yuka, but after playing Touhou Mother, Yuuka seems wrong) He says that he'd like to tell her to shut her up, but he knows Yuka would kill him, or something like that.
While going through the maze you hit a cutscene in which the player talks about how Nitori made him a machine that allows him to fly. He talks about how it's hard to tell if Gensokyo is technologically behind or ahead of the outside world. He also talks about how he has taken a relaxed attitude to the incident, just like the people in Gensokyo do. At this point, they see something and they ask the player what it is. You have two responses at this point. I forgot what the other one was, but if you pick "Didn't they have UFO's in 12?" they make some comments, and then you battle Rin.
After you defeat Rin, Rin apologizes and says he thought you were all a bunch of troublemaker youkai. He then says Yuugi is there too, investigating. Nitori reacts to this one with a frightened yell: "There's an o-o-oni here?" The player then remembers how the kappa were servants to the oni. At this point, Rin says she's probably there already. With that, Aya says there'll be nothing left for her paper, and she urges the player and Nitori to move faster.
Upon reaching the maze's CORRECT end, there is a cutscene where apparently, Reimu and Alice are fighting Marisa and Yuugi in a danmaku battle. Aya says this will make for a good story. Rin chimes in with a lighthearted remark: "If anyone dies, i'll be sure to carry them home!" Aya says she should ask some questions. The player comments that Aya looks more excited than Rin about this. Aya says dodging through danmaku is the best feeling there is. I (The author) think she's nuts. She then told the player, Nitori, and Rin to stay there and flew in. The player makes a comment about her changing from Peeping Mode to Close-Up mode. (I'm writing this as i advance the cutscene by the way.) The player thinks he should warn the battlers so Aya doesn't sneak pictures without them knowing. The player then comments that Aya is really something to say dodging danmaku is the best feeling there is. At this point, the player makes a wry comment saying she just beat out the egos of a lot of Touhou players. The player then says it would be difficult to explain how difficult the games with her were. He then wonders how Aya saw the combatants from their earlier position anyway. Aya apparently heard this one, because she chimes in with "It's the eye of a reporter!" The player decides it's probably better not to think about it. The player then realizes that even as he was thinking the bright lights of the battle were getting closer. the player then realized that if Aya was telling the truth... He/she didn't know who to side with! At this point, you're given a choice screen. Basically, you have to pick a side.
If you chose Reimu and Alice... i'd advise you to use a team that hits hard. Beware of Reimu's healing card! If you chose Marisa and Yuugi... TARGET MARISA FIRST. IF YOU DO NOT, HER FLAMES OF DESTRUCTION WILL CAUSE YOUR PARTY TO BE WIPED OUT. Beware of Yuugi's "My Rules" card. This card will instantly recharge ALL used spellcards on one person. It is the only spell card of its kind in the entire game. Also, beware of Marisa's "Flames of Destruction" spellcard. It increases the damage done by 20% at level 1, and hers is probably level 5 or so. DO NOT LET HER KEEP USING THIS OR YOUR PARTY WILL GET STEAMROLLERED.
OK, battle tips aside, afterwards, the player looks down and there appears to be a rock down below, which is apparently the cause of the whole thing.
At that point, Nitori asks to compare one of the player's gachas with the meteorite. The player (and everyone else) knows that it isn't a question, so the player hands one over (supposedly, there isn't any proof the player does so.)
After going back to the map and clicking on event, you run into Sanae and Suwako.
(Sanae played a somewhat comedic role in Touhou Mother. Basically, she was Samus, and Suwako was Adam, both organic and robotic. [if you don't understand, look up Metroid: Other M and Metroid Fusion])
Apparently they came to investigate the rock too. Sanae comments that this like something from a Sci-fi movie.
(Sanae came from the outside world to Gensokyo, therefore a lot of her comments are out of context with Gensokyo. Apparently, for instance, she did a 1% run of Metroid Fusion. That's pretty freaking hard, since that means she picked up NO extra powerups, AND had to use built-in hard techniques to dodge any powerups that were unnecessary, AND that means she had 99 health and the enemies do 60 per hit at the end of the game. [The SA-X takes out like 2 energy tanks, and attacking him while not taking a hit is REALLY FREAKING HARD.])
Sanae's interesting story aside, she then goes on to say if there's an alien, she should take a picture.
(Considering the size of that rock, if there's an alien inside, i ain't taking a picture, i'm calling Ness.)
Suwako then tells Sanae not to get excited, saying that she's been... and the player chimes in with: "Don't worry, Lady Suwako. It's not just you and Lady Kanako. There are a whole lot of fans in the outside crying for their MoF Sanae back."
(I think the player should shut up before his big mouth causes problems.)
So then Reimu asks Suwako how the situation is. Apparently, humans have been being teleported to Higan for no apparent reason. They then talk about the human village and how only Keine and Mokou are there now. And then Suwako says that Lady Byukaren is there. The player then chimes in with: "Oh, Lady Byakuren's appeared there? That will earn her more faith." (Again, I think the player should just shut his mouth before he gets into trouble)
Reimu and Suwako are like "......" The player apologizes, and feels them glaring daggers at him. The player decides to not talk about it with them around. (A little LATE!) (I knew the player should have shut up! Now look where it got him!)
Then they go on to discuss Yukari, because she's not here! So they decide to talk to Yuka about finding Yukari. Then Sanae remembers a potential problem...
Next, Sanae, the player, Suwako, and Orin all head to the Palace of Earth Spirits. The player is feeling mischievous here and uses their cellphone to sneak a few pictures. Then, Koishi appears, believing you attacked Satori. They then see Satori on the floor. There are burn marks around. The player realizes that Utsuho must have escaped! At this point, a battle begins!
Anyway, so Satori tells Koishi to knock it off after you beat Koishi. The player then starts fantasizing about things i'm NOT going to repeat here, because who knows who's reading this, anyway, doing it in front of Satori? The MIND READER? Bad idea. She gives him/her a look, and he/she knocks it off. So Utsuho has hit the surface at this point.
Utsuho is at the surface, and heads to probably the WORST place she could go: The Scarlet Devil Mansion. Let's see, vampire dwelling plus the equivalent of a small sun = not good.
So now the player, Sanae, and the rest of the gang head over to the SDM. When they get there, scarlet danmaku comes flying at them! After a comment something like "Hey! We're on your side!" Remilia snaps back something along the lines of, "Then you should've said so immediately, you idiot!"
After it's over (it being the gacha battle), the girls tie up Utsuho and sit down to have the SDM's cake and tea. the player is offered tea and gets two choices, but again, they don't make a difference. One of them is "I can't shake the feeling that the SDM's tea has blood in it..." Then Utsuho tries to play innocent. Really. She asks, "Why are you all having fun and eating while i'm tied up over here?
And that's all i'm writing for now.

The Virgin Islands of the United States (commonly called the United States Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands,American Virgin Islands, or USVI) are a group of islands in the Caribbean that are an insular area of the United States. The islands are geographically part of the Virgin Islands archipelago and are located in the Leeward Islands of the Lesser Antilles.
The USVI consists of the three main islands of St. John, St. Thomas, and St. Croix, along with Water Island and surrounding isles. The capital is Charlotte Amalie located on the island of St. Thomas. The islands main source of income is tourism, usually coming from Caribbean Cruise Liners.
During a zombie apocalypse, the USVI would be flooded by refugees coming from infected countries, likely bringing in with them the infection. Additionally, zombies from other islands may wash up here.
The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks Edit
In 2002, a single waterlogged zombie, possibly the ones dumped off the coast of Morocco the previous year, walked up on a beach in St. Thomas. The locals called the police to detain the strange man. The zombie did not follow the instructions of the authorities. A boy unknowingly poked the zombie with a stick, and as a result, was grabbed and almost bitten. The boy was saved by a civilian who grabbed a police officer's sidearm and shot the zombie in the head. This is one of the few cases of zombies walking long distances underwater.
World War Z Edit
During World War Z, the fate of the Virgin Islands were not mentioned. However, because it is nearby to some overrun nations in the Caribbean, as well as it being a famous cruise ship destination and the influx of refugees fleeing to the oceans and far away islands, it can be assumed that the Virgin Islands has been overrun.

Harsh-environment step motor update: Empire Magnetics; Elwood
Step-motor-based motion systems continue to work unheralded in some very tough industrial environments. Here's an update on two recent product examples.
Abrasive Dustproof stepper motors from Empire Magnetics are pressure rated to 15 psi to lock out contamination.
Step-motor-based motion systems continue to work unheralded in some very tough industrial environments. Here's an update on two recent product examples.
Empire Magnetics Inc . has introduced "Abrasive Dustproof Stepper Motors" intended for aggressive manufacturing environments that destroy seals and bearings, leading to failure of standard stepper motors. Available in NEMA 23, 34 and 42 frame-sizes, these motors reportedly thrive in abrasive dust, such as grinding debris, carbide powder, glass particles and mineral components. These special motors feature o-ring seals to stop dust leakage at potential penetration points; housing seals with a shaft slinger and seal to prevent entry of dust into bearings; and motor insulation that allows 0-135 °C operation. Abrasive Dustproof step motors are now in use for manufacturing carbide tools and fiber-optics components, and as part of a powdered metal forming press, among others.
Empire Magnetics is a supplier of specialty motors, motion control systems, and support services.
Gettys' WS-Series stepper motors include food-grade and caustic-chemical-resistant versions.
Elwood Corp.-Gettys Group also announced the release of its "WS-Series" wash-down Stepper Motors designed for use in harsh environments. The new motor line fills "the unique need for economical stepper motors capable of withstanding repeated high-pressure washdowns," says David Hansen, VP of sales and marketing. Sealed to IP66 rating, these motors use o-rings and a shaft seal to protect against jets of high-pressure liquids. A 10-ft shielded cable with grommeted cable gland is standard. WS-Series stepper motors are available in NEMA 23, 34, and 42 mounting dimensions.
The Gettys Group manufactures high-performance stepper and servo motors for rugged industrial environments.

Advice on design of conv-div nozzle for race engine
This is my first experience designing a converging-diverging nozzle and I need your help! The application is a race engine that uses a restrictor imposed by the racing sanctioning body. The nozzle will operate under time-varying boundary conditions as a result of being coupled to an intake manifold which will feed 4 cylinders. However, my design will be optimized using steady-state flow analysis. The inlet will be exposed to atmosphere. The minimum diameter can be no larger than 30mm. The straight section must be at least 3mm in length. Packaging is a concern but we have lots of room in our engine bay.
There are a virtually infinite number of geometries that I could build but I am hoping some of you can set me on the right path from the start. Models, literature and advice setting up my model would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Intake Aerodynamics
All these are avaiable from the AIAA, a good starting point for an interesting application such as yours
Good Luck
Thank you for your advice Ahmed. I looked into the document you suggested on AIAA.org. I have to spend a minimum of $85 to get a membership, then I will probably have to purchase the book. I was hoping for something a little less expensive. Advice is free! Do you have any advice you can offer? Although, I really do appreciate your help.
I am really floored at the lack of advice from this community. I thought this thread would be buzzing with practical advice and suggestions but so far its been pretty calm!
Can someone please offer some suggestions on how to shape the contour of the nozzle or some guidelines to follow? How shall I set up my model? Boundary layers? Links to websites, articles or papers (preferably cheap or free)? There has to be a ton of FSAE literature out there (which is very similar to our case) but I have been unable to find it! Please help!
Do not blame the community or the members of this nice forum but your application. Let me remind you of the obvious facts of life, 90% of the applications of this device are not for civil purposes so do not expect the detailed advice you are looking for, do you understand the meaning and consequences of breaching confidentiality agreements? Unless you encounter a steam turbine designer that might be willing to help you for free do not expect miracles.
Search the amazon web site, they might have them for a cheaper price, and if the organization you work for can not afford to buy two books, then search for another organization.
There is nothing called free lunch
Ahmed, I am shocked by your sharp reply! I was not looking for a "free lunch". I was only asking for some BASIC guidance or advice. I did not "blame" anyone for anything. I just stated my observation. I am sorry that I have offended you in some way. Maybe you misunderstood my post. I just wanted help getting pointed in the right direction. Isn't that what web forums are for? :confused:
I never said I wanted anything detailed. What kind of engineer would I be if everything was done for me? I am challenged by this problem - but at the same time I don't want to spend months going down the wrong path to find out I could have gotten some _BASIC_ advice from the start. Or maybe I could have learned what NOT to do in the beginning. That would probably be even more valuable.
I still appreciate your advice and I am sorry if I've offended you, Ahmed. I had no idea that what I am seeking may have military implications if that is what you are suggesting. Maybe I should have posed the question differently. I was not angry that I received little help - I was just surprised but after reading what you said I suppose I understand why.
You would likely get a better response if you asked pointed questions. For example, can someone help me determine an appropriate steady state condition to use in optimizing for pulsating flow conditions. Is it peak flow, average flow, or something else?
YOu should pose your problem as a shape optimization problem. First define what is your objective function which you want to minimize/maximize. Then you can select a suitable flow model (inviscid/viscous etc) and some optimization method. That would help others to help you.
Thank you guys! That is valuable advice. I see what you mean. :o
Pauli, that is an excellent suggestion. I would love to hear some suggestions...
Thanks for straightening me out guys! ;)
I have read the table of content... I don't see anything what he could need?!
Maybe it would help to bring some pictures of the problem. I think he only needs some short hints for the right way.
Thats right, Maddin, I am not looking for a turn-key product. Like you say, I would like some simple guidelines to get me pointed in the right direction.
Make some pictures what you have (I don't understand really what you will create - sorry for my bad englisch) and then somebody can give you a hint. :)
Here is a typical application for a restrictor that we must use. The picture shows a V8 engine with two restrictors - one for each side of the engine. There are plenums upstream and downstream of the nozzle. The throttles are located downstream of the nozzle. Typical pressure differential is ~.1 Bar under Wide Open Throttle conditions at peak engine RPM. Nozzle minimum inside diameter must be 30mm. Our nozzle is coupled to a four cylinder engine.
Don't both consider choked flow in a converging-diverging geometry? If the cited reference covers supersonic aircraft, it should be applicable.
Ahh now I understand it :D
30mm, sounds like a formular student engine? :D
How long can the restrictor be?
And what is your idea for the design? I mean, looking for restrictors in google you should do alone?! Look for some carbs, the often have a venturi.
Now I understand why a aircraft book ;) I didn't understand his problem complete!:rolleyes:
Formu1a Stud3nt engines use a smaller restrictor - ~20mm i believe. The length is governed by what will fit in the car. Somewhere around 300mm would be ideal but if it needs to be longer then we'll figure out a way to make it fit! ;)
How should I shape the passage? Is it best to use straight angles with sharp transitions or should it have a radius entry with some polynomial curve to describe the exit?
In my travels around Google I've found conflicting beliefs as to the above passage shape. Since the nozzle will not operate under choked flow at all times I was thinking about a Dall Tube approach to induce a choked flow condition at lower pressure ratios. The use of the channel might also allow the use of an increased diverging exit angle which might improve packaging by shortening the overall length of the nozzle.
Ahh your right, it's only 20mm.
Try different styles :)
i remember reading andersons CFD book that gave a working example (i think along with computer program) about nosel solution. If you get your hands on that book i am sure it would be great help.
Thanks for the guidance, Mr_Fluent. Do you mean this book?... http://www.cfd-online.com/Books/show...&full_review=1
yes, this is the book. look at the 7th chapter they have given a detailed worked example for convergent-divergent nosel using maccomark method.
would be good starting point.
I looked at it today and its very detailed.
Thanks Mr_fluent. I just got the book today.

International Classification of Health Interventions
|It has been suggested that this article be merged with International Classification of Procedures in Medicine. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2015.
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (October 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI) is a system of classifying procedure codes being developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is currently only available as a beta release for additional coding work, and not yet ready for operational application.[1] The last published version is denoted as alpha version 2.[2]
It is intended for the ICHI to replace the International Classification of Procedures in Medicine (ICPM). The ICPM classification was developed by WHO in the 1970s; but never received the same international acceptance as ICD-9. As a result, most nations developed their own standards for coding procedures and interventions incompatible to the ICPM approach. Germany's OPS-301 is based on the Dutch extension of ICPM; the ICPM-DE.[3]
The alpha version of WHO's ICHI was largely derived from the Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI),[4] a portion of the Australian standard ICD-10-AM, which in turn was largely derived from ICD-10 and the United States extension ICD-9-CM. Currently (2014) the acceptance of the ICHI in the community of health care professionals might be better, but due to missing formal acceptance the spread of national variations beyond translation widely continues.
For accounting, the Australian health administration generated a code of Diagnosis-related groups which in effect again deviates from the WHO basis. The same phenomenon applies to DRG codes in Germany and other countries. Other codes generated by the UN accredited International Standards Organisation ISO defined a deviating scope.[5] Cooperation of ISO and WHO is not detected.

MIAMI (Billboard) - Pop star Maria Jose made a name for herself as a member of Kabah, the boy/girl sextet that was hugely successful in Mexico during the 1990s and early 2000s.
Now, as a solo artist, Maria Jose has become even more successful thanks to two cover albums that have become Mexican hits and yielded five top 20 singles.
Replicating that kind of success in the United States won't be easy, particularly at a time when the traditional Latin pop she's known for is being played on fewer U.S. radio outlets.
But the bubbly bombshell brings some significant assets to the table, including a riveting stage presence and a repertoire of girl-power standards. She also has a multirights deal with management company/ label Seitrack, which handles Alejandra Guzman and Zoe, among others.
The idea of recording covers, following a moderately successful solo debut of new material, stemmed from Maria Jose's participation in a Mexican TV reality show that featured guests and contestants singing cover songs. Maria Jose and her team mined deep into 1980s repertoire and released "Amante de lo Ajeno" in 2009. The album became a sensation, spending 80 weeks on Mexico's Amprofon albums chart.
Seitrack quickly followed up with "Amante de lo Bueno," which includes more of the same material. The set, released last fall, also topped the Amprofon chart and was certified platinum for shipments of more than 80,000 copies in Mexico alone.
That success prompted Seitrack to hatch a plan to break Maria Jose in the United States, according to Luana Pagani, Seitrack's U.S. partner. Seitrack released "Amante de lo Bueno" on May 31 in the states with distribution through Sony.
"We put together a team to work the record in music company fashion," Pagani says. "We have a radio department, we have a club/and lifestyle marketing team, a publicist, and we have a digital in-house team."
The first single, "La Ocasion Para Amarnos," is being worked to radio on the West Coast, in the Southwest and Midwest. Maria Jose is also slated to perform three radio shows in California in June.
"I always compare it to a restaurant," Maria Jose says about her independent status after 11 years with Warner, which released all of Kabah's albums. "When you're the owner, you stay until the last client has walked out the door.
"Indeed, one of the factors that's helped Maria Jose's rise is her willingness to perform anywhere, anytime. She plays at least 200 shows per year in Mexico, with audiences normally ranging from 500 to 3,000. In May, the efforts culminated with Maria Jose's first solo concert at the 10,000-seat Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City.
Now, she's starting at square one in the United States, with a series of smaller shows, including one at Los Angeles' Conga Room that's slated for August. By then, Pagani expects U.S. audiences to be more familiar with Maria Jose, who will appear weekly on the Univision network as a judge on children's talent show "Pequenos Gigantes."
"The time is right, because the U.S. is a reflection of Mexico, where it already worked," Pagani says. "And not just the U.S.-also Central and South America, where they see all the Mexican shows. It's step by step."

Home mechanical ventilation and specialised health care in the community: Between a rock and a hard place
Home mechanical ventilation probably represents the most advanced and complicated type of medical treatment provisioned outside a hospital setting. The aim of this study was both to explore the challenges experienced by health care professionals in community health care services when caring for patients dependent on home mechanical ventilation, continual care and highly advanced technology, and their proposed solutions to these challenges.
Using qualitative research methods, a grounded theory influenced approach was used to explore the respondents' experiences and proposed solutions. A total of 34 multidisciplinary respondents from five different communities in Norway were recruited for five focus groups.
The core category in our findings was what health care professionals in community health care services experience as "between a rock and a hard place," when working with hospitals, family members, and patients. We further identified four subcategories, "to be a guest in the patient's home," "to be accepted or not," "who decides," and "how much can we take." The main background for these challenges seems to stem from patients living and receiving care in their private homes, which often leads to conflicts with family members. These challenges can have a negative effect on both the community health caregivers' work environment and the community health service's provision of professional care.
This study has identified that care of individuals with complex needs and dependent on home mechanical ventilation presents a wide range of immense challenges for community health care services. The results of this study point towards a need to define the roles of family caregivers and health care professionals and also to find solutions to improve their collaboration. The need to improve the work environment for caregivers directly involved in home-care also exists. The study also shows the need for more dialogue concerning eligibility requirements, rights, and limitations of patients in the provision and use of ventilatory support in private homes.
Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) probably represents the most advanced and complicated type of medical treatment provisioned outside a hospital setting
Generally, care for someone in his or her own home takes place in a different context from caring for him or her in a hospital, and requires a different approach
The aim of this study was both to explore the challenges experienced by HCP's in community health care services when caring for HMV patients dependent on continual care and highly advanced technology, and their proposed solutions to these challenges. Several factors influenced our decision to conduct this study:
• Norway being no exception, little research has been conducted in this specific area.
• Specialised hospitals must recognise and be aware of these challenges to ensure a safe and successful transition from hospital to community care.
• Communities providing care for this patient group for the first time could benefit from learning about these challenges.
• This knowledge will be an important point of reference when health care authorities develop clinical guidelines for HMV, which is currently underway in Norway.
Study design
Qualitative research methods using a grounded theory influenced approach and focus groups were selected to explore the experience of the community health care services.
Study setting
Organising and financing care of HMV patients varies between countries and health care systems. We studied the Norwegian public financial health system in which specialised hospitals establish ventilation support and follow-up even after hospital discharge. Community health care services, in cooperation with family caregivers, have responsibility for the daily care provided in the patient's home. In Norway, family members can be paid employees as part of the health care team caring for the HMV-dependent family member.
In classic grounded theory, the ongoing analysis steers the sampling and the data collection (theoretical sampling), but this can prove difficult to implement in practice. Strauss and Corbin state that, "as with all research, there is the ideal way of conducting a study and the practical way (or that for which one has to settle)"
First, the home care administrators in each community were contacted via telephone to discuss their willingness to participate and an information letter was later sent. To extract a broad description of experience, home care administrators were asked to recruit all relevant HCP's involved in one way or another in care of tracheostomised and HMV-dependent patients; this being limited, however, to a maximum of 10 respondents in each group. Participation criteria included respondents with administrative or coordination responsibilities, and other personnel directly involved in practical care in the patient's residence. Unlicensed caregivers were also included. These caregivers had no formal health diploma, but instead received training and guidance from registered nurses, patients, and family members to perform HMV-related nursing tasks. Family members were not recruited as respondents. The characteristics of all 34 respondents are summarised in table

*all patients had tracheostomies and were ventilator dependent for either the entire or majority of the day
All of the five participating communities had extensive experience with this type of care. During the data collection period, a total of 14 HMV-dependent patients were cared for in the five communities. Two of the communities cared for a total of three HMV-dependent children, with the remaining 11 patients being adults (Table
Data collection
Focus groups have proven to be particularly useful for gaining thorough descriptions of knowledge, experience, priorities, and attitudes
Data analysis
The focus group discussions were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Memos were also noted during the research process or immediately after data collection. In accordance with grounded theory, transcripts and memos were analysed several times and line-by-line (open coding) to find the words or phrases used by the respondents to describe their challenges and how they are trying to solve it. In the final stage of data analysis, we manually sorted the codes into larger categories and sub-categories (selective coding). All codes were compared. This is what is called the "constant comparative method"
Ethical considerations
To save time, we asked the administrators of the community health services in question to recruit all relevant HCP's for the focus groups. Use of this procedure obviously leads to concern regarding the issue of coercing respondents to participate. However, a letter was given to all respondents informing them that participation was on a voluntary basis and that they could withdraw from the study at any time without any further obligation. All respondents gave written consent that they would participate. All gathered material has been treated anonymously. More detailed characteristics of the patients and the communities in Table
The core category in our findings describes how the community health care services, at both administrative level and in practical care, experience the challenge of "being between a rock and hard place." Furthermore, we found four sub-categories describing the community health care services' challenges related to the core category. When applicable, the respondents gave proposed solutions to solve problems. We found no variation in the experience of HCP's caring for HMV-dependent children compared with those caring for HMV-dependent adults. Discussions in the focus groups uncovered very detailed, gripping, and emotional stories of the daily struggles to help these patients and their family members to live a good, meaningful, and valuable life:
Many of the respondents expressed that, despite all the challenges they had been subjected to, they had gained unique, exciting, and learning rich experience that they did not regret obtaining. Many felt strong understanding of what a huge challenge it is to care for HMV patients in their own homes. Much was at stake and the smallest mistake could lead to serious and even life-threatening consequences. Some of the respondents mentioned that they could understand the family members' reactions and behavior and how they would have reacted the same way if put in the same situation.
"Between a rock and a hard place"(core category)
To be "between a rock and a hard place" describes the dilemma of being in a position in which one must choose between two unpleasant alternatives, without the opportunity to satisfy all the implicated parties' needs. In this study, respondents described this dilemma in different ways because of the different roles experienced caring for HMV patients. Home care administrators were mostly concerned with describing the discrepancies between the hospital's, the patients', and the families' expectations for the community to have adequate personnel competence, the necessary resources in place, and the daily struggle to keep it all at a professional level. Because of the high turnover rate of HCP's, the administrators constantly focused on staff recruitment, but most applicants were in fact unlicensed caregivers. The collaboration with the specialised hospitals was described as good, but the community workers did, however, complain about not being sufficiently involved in planning and decision-making. Another dilemma arising was the responsibility the communities had for many other patients in the community, while having to prioritise HMV patients because of life-support treatment. Despite this prioritising, the communities claimed that it did not affect the lives and health of the other patients, but instead the workload became heavier for the HCP's.
The HCP's providing the practical and everyday care in the patient's home described the dilemma of having to answer to several counterparts simultaneously: the hospital responsible for the technical dimension of the treatment, the community as their employer, the families, often deeply involved in the care, and their own opinions about what was best for the patient. The following sub-categories describe these dilemmas in more detail, and in addition, the respondents proposed solutions to some of them.

All of the respondents were most interested in describing the challenges associated with working in the HMV patient's private home. Working inside a private residence was described as the biggest challenge and was the main trigger for the other challenges they described. The HCP's experienced they were merely guests in the patients' homes, and this was something they had to be constantly aware of while at work. They held a low profile in order not to disturb peace in the home and thereby to avoid conflicts. The staff consciously kept a neutral demeanor, did not stand out, stayed quiet, closed their ears, and held their tongues. They were, after all, in the patient's home and had to behave in keeping. The relationship with the patient's family was always the most difficult; less so was the patient himself/herself or the technical aspects of the care. Working alone with an HMV patient in a private home was described by the HCP's as both socially and professionally lonely. In many instances, the patient's level of communication was limited, contributing to the HCP's loneliness. Loneliness also refers to how the HCP's were only able to discuss clinical questions with other colleagues during shift changes. Boredom could be explained by the mundane everyday tasks, or because some patients were unwilling to participate in outdoor activities. To solve the issues relating to the patient living in his or her own home, respondents from each community recommended that the patients be placed in assisted-living facilities to improve HCP's work environment.

To be accepted or not?
In addition to attending formal courses, in collaboration with the community health services and the specialised hospitals, some of the HCP's had to undergo a sort of informal approval from expert family members - which many deemed problematic. The respondents sensed that the intention of this informal approval was a way for the family members to find out if the HCP's had the necessary skills, and further if they were suitable for the job. The HCP's believed they were put through a test, despite the community health service's leadership acknowledging they were qualified to fulfill the job. Others described that they were well accepted and regarded as an extension of the family, thereby putting the HCP's in between two roles: professional and friend. This was a difficult position to be in.

Who decides?
The HCP's working directly with the patient expressed enormous frustration with regard to who decided on the medical treatment. Was this the specialised hospital, the patient, the family, the community health administration, or the HCP in question? The HCP's believed they possessed the competence to make the professional decisions but had to eventually consult with the family, and many times compromise on their decisions with persistent family members who had become experts in care. The disagreements and obscurity surrounding these decisions especially affected the unlicensed carers; therefore, the respondents suggested that the boundaries for what the families should be involved in needed to be clarified. Many of the respondents thought it was very unfortunate that some family members were employed as part of the health care team, leading to the double role of both caring family member and care provider. This was often the source of conflicts, eventually ending up in the resignation of a HCP; therefore, most of the respondents proposed that family members schould not be employed as part of the health care team.
Quotation examples "who decides?"
How much can we take?
The majority of HCP's experienced conflicts with families while working in the patient's home. Some felt harassed, but believed there was a limit to how much one could get involved. In these situations, the HCP could not distance themselves because the patient's condition demanded them to be constantly present. All of the respondents knew the reasons the previous HCP had resigned. This was not because they did not enjoy working with the patient, rather the mental burden of being alone in these situations, without the possibility to reach out for support from fellow co-workers.
Quotation examples: "how much can we take?"
This study has illustrated that caring for HMV patients with complex needs represents a wide range of immense challenges for community health services. The respondents in this study described the dilemma of being a guest in the patient's home and having to behave accordingly. Being in this position can create obstacles when providing care, as confirmed by previous studies
What can be done to reduce the consequences related to the challenges revealed in this study and what proposed solutions do the respondents in this study suggest? Similar to the findings from previous research
Initiatives to improve the HCP's professional and psychosocial work environment seem to be important to ensure continuity and competence. Several studies have pointed out the importance of supporting the family carers' emotional and psychosocial needs
The respondents in our study recommended that this complex group of HMV patients should be treated together in an assisted-living facility to avoid the challenges associated with caregivers working alone in the patients' homes. This recommendation corresponds with a recent statement from the Norwegian Director of Health, which implies that communities should not have the responsibility or obligation to care for these types of patients in their homes because of the enormous challenges associated with its provision
Fulltime HMV care can be considerably expensive
Possible limitations
The sample in this study was small, as in most qualitative studies. Despite this limitation we believe this study draws an accurate picture of the current situation in Norway. We believe the results of this study may have transferability to other types of advanced in-home treatment, such as tracheostomies, dialysis, parental nutrition, and intravenous medications. One must take into consideration that the results of this study may not be transferable to other countries because of the differences in treatment, delegation of responsibilities, organising, and financing of HMV. Neither the patients nor the families have validated the results of this study because we focused only on the experience of HCP's. However, we recently conducted a study involving all the five communities used in the present study to investigate the experience of family members of HMV patients with complex needs (manuscript submitted). Interestingly, we found that there is a large gap between family members' expectations and what the community health care services are able to provide, even when almost unlimited resources are available.
This study illustrates how home care for ventilator-dependent patients with complex needs presents a wide range of immense challenges for community health care services, both at administrative level and for the health care personnel in direct contact with the patient and his or her family. These challenges can have a negative impact on community HCPs' work environment and the community health care services' provision of professional care. The results of this study point towards the need to define the roles of family caregivers and HCP's, and also to find solutions to improve their collaboration. A debate considering whether family members should be formally employed as carers for loved ones is also needed. The work environment of HCP's in patient's homes must be improved to ensure the necessary competence and quality of care. Specialised hospitals should allow community health care services to be more involved in both the adaptation of HMV and long-term follow-up care. The study also shows the need for more dialogue concerning eligibility requirements, rights, and the limitations for patients in the provision and use of HMV in private homes. Further research exploring the experience of HCP's in other countries caring for individuals dependent on continual care and highly advanced technology is needed.
Interview guide used for the first focus groups
1. What kind of problems and challenges do the community health care services encounter when caring for individuals dependent on home mechanical ventilation and highly specialised care?
2. Who decides on the treatment at home?
3. Describe the cooperation with the family members?
4. What is the positive side of working with these patients?
5. Do you have any suggestions for how these patients might be cared for in the future?
6. Is there anything else you would like to add about community-based care for HMV-patients that we have not discussed here today?

Sony Pictures created a four-minute sequence titled "The Final Chapter: The Death of Xander" for its XXX: Uncensored, Unrated Director's Cut (out April 19, $25) to set up the sequel, XXX 2: State of the Union, which opens April 29. Khristian Lupo, the stuntman for Vin Diesel on the original, plays Diesel's character Xander Cage in the segment; Leila Arcieri returns as Jordan King. The two-disc set adds eight minutes to the original film and includes a scene from the new film. (Related story: Studios build movie bridges)

Disney is a master at spinning off home video sequels of its classic films such as Cinderella, The Lion King and Aladdin. Bambi will get this treatment next year with the straight-to-DVD Bambi and the Great Prince of the Forest. It picks up the story after Bambi's mother dies and his father takes over his upbringing. There's a sneak preview of the movie on the Bambi Special Edition DVD (in stores, $30).
Promote new stories on the way.
Star Wars, Clone Wars:Volume 1 (Fox, March 22, $20) serves a multi-pronged strategy for Lucasfilm, Fox and The Cartoon Network. The DVD collection of 20 animated short films that aired last year arrives just as the network begins its second season of Clone Wars March 21.
The animated action fills in the story gaps between Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, director George Lucas' final Star Wars film, which opens May 19. "We kind of start the Clone Wars in one episode (Episode II) and we end it in the next episode, but we never actually see the war," Lucas says on the DVD. The animated series "was a great opportunity to fill in some of the blanks."

We don't know if you've heard, but some football tournament is about to kick off. That's right footie fans, today (11 June) sees the 2010 FIFA World Cup commence and we can barely contain our excitement. There's sure to be a carnival atmosphere in South Africa, what with locals blowing their vuvuzela's in and around the grounds. However, a new iPhone app means we can now make just as much racket with our phones. The England Football Rattle app works in much the same way as the old fashioned football rattles that were so popular when England last won the World Cup, way back in 1966.
Depending how fast and vigorously you wave your phone, the louder the noise you create. The brainchild of PS Ventures Limited, the England Football Rattle app is available from Apple iTunes for both the iPhone and iPod Touch for just 59p. So what are you waiting for, get rattling and show your support for Fabio's barmy army.

- We all have our terrible days- some of ours worse than others. Some of us are deep in depression, while some of us just want somebody to listen. People want to know somebody is there for them, and it brings a huge sense of relief when that knowledge is obtained. It is rather difficult to have a better day if you don't have a support system. Therefore, I would like to introduce Project Lifeline, a peer support group dedicated to helping those who need a bit of extra help in life.
- "Who can participate?"
- Anybody can participate in this group.
- "What is the purpose of this group?"
- The purpose of this group is to increase positive attitudes in users of Wikia.
- "Are there any guidelines?"
- Yes.
- If you are extremely sensitive to topics such as suicide, please message a group member of your choice, if you are uncomfortable stating as such.
- Please do not include off-Wiki drama inside the group. The last thing this group needs is a bunch of drama; we help each other by standing together, not apart.
- There will be set meeting days (decided later on) as to when meetings will be held.
- You do not need to let out every single problem that's bugging you- only the ones you are comfortable with.
- Nobody should peer-pressure in this group.
- Remember who we're doing this for: our fellow Wikians
If you have any questions, please post in the comments of this blog. If you are interested in joining the group, post your interest in the blog comments as well.

Before you give advice for a state you are not admitted, perhpas you should check the law first. Your answer is plain wrong for NJ where the victim was a pedestrian who did not own a motor vehicle or live whit a resident relative who did own one and had insurance on it.
Right, and I guess since there's universal healthcare now no one is responsible for any of their medical bills so all of answers suggesting otherwise are all wrong. He is responsible for his medical bills. He can make a claim or file suit, but there's no guarantee anyone will pay his bills.
If he was a pedestrian injured in a NJ motor vehicle accident, and he has not otherwise violated NJ law to carry insurance where required, there is an insurance fund specifically to pay for these medical bills regardless of fault. Your comments serve no purpose to properly advise a pedestrian injured in a NJ motor vehicle accident who would be subject to the Deemer statute even if he was not a NJ resident. Furthermore, under New Jersey's Deemer Statute, if he was a non-New Jersey resident who was insured under an automobile policy by an insurer that is authorized to do business in New Jersey is entitled to the same benefits of New Jersey's no-fault system (even if not in his out-of-state insurance policy). N.J.S.A. 17:28-1.4.

Phoebe English: I'm a designer of everything
Phoebe English sees her latest art installation as a continuation of the clothes she makes.
The London based designer is gearing up for the opening of a new art fixture she has designed, which will be shown at the British capital's Now Gallery in Greenwich.
In keeping with her designer roots, the hanging piece is made up over 30 kilograms of hand-stitched silver glass beads.
"When you have a label you end up designing a lot of other things other than just your clothes – how you want your website to look, what you want all your paperwork to look like – and you end up being a designer of everything really. Doing the installations is for me just really a continuation of the clothes I make, it's all part of the same body of work," Phoebe explained to WWD.
The exhibition is called Floating, Falling, Drowning, Flying: An Instrospection of Process, with the installation hanging the length of the 22-foot high space.
There will also be information looking at how Phoebe goes about her design process, with photos, research images, swatches of material and sketches to illustrate how she works.
"It's going to be quite a striking, glistening glass textile piece," she commented.
The exhibition will open May 21 until August 9.
This isn't Phoebes first foray into art; she previously decorated a window of Dover Street Market's London store for its tenth anniversary and a cabinet filled with glass jars at Comme des Garçons' Trading Museum store in Paris which she titled An Accumulation of Nothing.
