  • Doctorandus

    Doctorandus (Dutch pronunciation: [dɔktoːˈrɑndʏs]; Latin: he who should become a doctor), abbreviated drs., is a Dutch academic title according to the pre-BachelorMaster system. The female form is 'doctoranda' (abbreviated dra., though this abbreviation is no longer used). The title is acquired by passing the doctoraalexamen, traditionally a matriculation exam for admission to study at doctoral level. In most cases this concludes university study, but occasionally students will continue to do research under the supervision of a professor, which eventually allows them to obtain the title of doctor.

    Netherlands

    According to Dutch legislation, the Dutch doctorandus degree is equivalent to the MA or MSc degree in English-speaking countries, with the difference that the coursework and comprehensive exams for a doctorate are included in the academic study. After being graduated to "drs.", the candidate can start with PhD-level research and writing the dissertation without any further exams. A colloquial term for such degree would be all but dissertation.

    Umpire Decision Review System

    The Umpire Decision Review System (abbreviated as UDRS or DRS) is a technology-based system used in the sport of cricket. The system was first introduced in Test cricket, for the sole purpose of reviewing controversial decisions made by the on-field umpires as to whether or not a batsman had been dismissed. The system was first tested in an India v Sri Lanka match in 2008. The system was officially launched by the International Cricket Council ("ICC") on 24 November 2009 during the first Test match between New Zealand and Pakistan at the University Oval in Dunedin. It was first used in One Day Internationals in January 2011, during England's tour of Australia. The ICC initially made the UDRS mandatory in all international matches, but later made its use optional, so that the system would only be used if both teams agree. The ICC has agreed to continue to work on the technology and will try to incorporate its use into all ICC events.

    On 29 October 2012, the International Cricket Council made amendments on LBW protocols, increasing the margin of uncertainty when the ball hits the batsman's pad.

    SEQUENCE ERASE

    by: Aquabats

    When time scrambles and it's gone away
    Can you stop to start again?
    No time.
    No one will laugh will laugh when it strikes-
    This diabolic plan to break up all order
    And who holds the key to stop
    The countdown of the global secret combination?
    These heroes changing
    Recognize we've been so undermined
    Danger walking blind
    But those hands on the clock
    Give no room, no thought
    No words
    No mind
    No age
    Sequence erased
    NO TIME!
    Prolong the wait with hopeless information
    Time and space erased, no indication
    Knife in the back I stagger to the phone
    Who can I call I'm now complete, alone!
    These heroes changing
    Recognize we've been so undermined
    Danger walking blind
    But those hands on the clock
    Give no room, no thought
    No words
    No mind
    No age
    Sequence erased
