Strike (bowling)

A strike is a term used in bowling to indicate that all of the pins have been knocked down with the first ball of a frame. On a bowling score sheet, a strike is symbolized by an X.

Scoring

When all ten pins are completely knocked down with the first ball (called a strike and typically rendered as an "X" on a score sheet), a player is awarded ten points, plus a bonus of whatever is scored with the next two balls. In this way, the points scored for the two balls after the strike are counted twice.

Strike scoring works similarly for five-pin bowling, except strikes are worth 15 points rather than 10 (as the pins are scored with the values of 2, 3, 5, 3, and 2).

Consecutive strikes

Two consecutive strikes are referred to as a "double" (or a "Barney Rubble" to rhyme) aka the "rhino". Three strikes bowled consecutively is known as a "turkey". Any longer string of strikes is referred to by a number affixed to the word "bagger," as in "four-bagger" for four consecutive strikes. ESPN commentator Rob Stone created the name "hambone" to describe four consecutive strikes.

Strike (surname)

Strike is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:

Glass (film)

Glass (Dutch: Glas) is a 1958 Dutch short documentary film by director and producer Bert Haanstra. The film won the Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject in 1959. The film is about the glass industry in the Netherlands. It contrasts the handmade crystal from the Royal Leerdam Glass Factory with automated bottle making machines. The accompanying music ranges from jazz to techno. Short segments of artisans making various glass goods by hand are joined with those of mass production. It is often acclaimed to be the perfect short documentary.

Fiberglass

Fiberglass (or fibreglass) is a type of fiber reinforced plastic where the reinforcement fiber is specifically glass fiber. The glass fiber may be randomly arranged, flattened into a sheet (called a chopped strand mat), or woven into a fabric. The plastic matrix may be a thermosetting plastic – most often epoxy, polyester resin – or vinylester, or a thermoplastic.

The glass fibers are made of various types of glass depending upon the fiberglass use. These glasses all contain silica or silicate, with varying amounts of oxides of calcium, magnesium, and sometimes boron. To be used in fiberglass, glass fibers have to be made with very low levels of defects.

Fiberglass is a strong lightweight material and is used for many products. Although it is not as strong and stiff as composites based on carbon fiber, it is less brittle, and its raw materials are much cheaper. Its bulk strength and weight are also better than many metals, and it can be more readily molded into complex shapes. Applications of fiberglass include aircraft, boats, automobiles, bath tubs and enclosures, swimming pools, hot tubs, septic tanks, water tanks, roofing, pipes, cladding, casts, surfboards, and external door skins.

Glass (From Her Eyes song)

Glass is a standalone single released by From Her Eyes on 21 September 2015, being preceded by the bands EP Demons

Production

After the success of the bands first EP, From Her Eyes continued to develop their sound. With the addition of guitarist Joe Shutt, the band wanted to introduce heavier elements to their sound indicative of deathcore and the technicality of progressive metal without abandoning their melodic roots

Whilst still holding melodic elements and consistent lead lines, the tuning is dramatically lowered (from C# Standard seen on Demons to Drop A#), and is contrasted with Shutt's more visceral rhythm technique and riffs. Tomas Morgan's vocals lean far more towards deathcore, with lower vocal pitches for significant portions of the song. The band also adopted aggression wherever possible, i.e. being encouraged in studio to purposely hit rim shot drum strokes instead of clean drum strokes, and using only active pickups on all guitars. Despite this, this is the first venture to feature clean vocals since the bands early demo EP "No Place Like Home" (this is excluding the guest clean vocals on the title track of Demons), sung by drummer Gary Holley. This is something the band states was not planned, and was an impromptu idea that ended up being included in the final mix.
