Laser printer

Laser printer is a frequent type of computer printer that rapidly produces high quality text and graphics on plain paper. Like photocopiers, laser printers employ a xerographic printing process but differ from analog photocopiers in that the image is fashioned by the direct scanning of a laser beam across the printer's photoreceptor.

Clothing

Clothing is defined, in its broadest sense, as coverings for the torso and limbs as well as coverings for the hands (gloves), feet (socks, shoes, sandals, and boots) and head (hats, caps). Humans generally wear clothing, which is also known as dress, garments, attire, or apparel. People wear clothing for useful as well as for social reasons. Clothing protects the vulnerable naked human body from the extremes of weather, other features of our environment, and for security reasons. Every article of clothing also carries a cultural and social sense. Human beings are the only mammals known to wear clothing, with the exemption of human pets clothed by their owners.

Cricket

Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport competition by two teams, usually of eleven players each. A cricket match is played on a grass field, approximately oval in shape, in the centre of which is a flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called a cricket pitch. A wicket, regularly made of wood, is placed at each end of the pitch.

The bowler, a player from the field team, bowls a hard, fist-sized cricket ball from the locality of one wicket towards the other. The ball usually bounces once before feat the batsman, a player from the conflicting team. In defence of the wicket, the batsman plays the ball with a made of wood cricket bat. Meanwhile, the other members of the bowler's team stand in a variety of positions around the field as fielders, players who retrieve the ball in an effort to stop the batsman scoring runs, and if possible to get him or her out. The batsman — if he or she does not get out — may run between the wickets, exchange ends with a second batsman (the "non-striker"), who has been waiting near the bowler's wicket. Each finished exchange of ends scores one run. Runs are also scored if the batsman hit the ball to the border line of the playing area. The match is won by the team that score more runs.

He then signed a contract with Belgian side Mouscron.Having previously played for Monaco and Ajaccio, Luzi made his Liverpool debut in January 2004 against Chelsea in a 1-0 win. He made two wonderful saves to deny Chelsea, but was left frustrated when he later was left out from the first team. His chances where limited when Liverpool loaned in Southampton's Paul Jones to cover from Jerzy Dudek and Chris Kirkland. Patrice Luzi has been described as a good shot stopper with good handling and distribution. The SRBs are the largest solid-propellant motors ever flown and the first of such large rockets designed for reuse. Each is 149.16 feet long and 12.17 feet in diameter.

Diamond

Diamond is an allotrope of carbon, and it is the hardest known natural material and the third-hardest known material after aggregate diamond nanorods and ultrahard fullerite. Its hardness and high dispersal of light make it useful for industrial applications and jewelry.

Diamonds are specifically famous as a material with superlative physical qualities; they make excellent abrasives because they can be injured only by other diamonds, Borazon, ultrahard fullerite, or aggregated diamond nanorods, which also means they hold a polish tremendously well and retain their luster. Approximately 130 million carats (26,000 kg) are mined annually, with a sum value of nearly USD $9 billion, and about 100,000 kg (220,000 lb) are synthesize annually.
