IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans vs Dindigul Dragons TNPL 2023

IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans (ITT) will battle against Dindigul Dragons (DD) in the 20th match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 at the SCF Cricket Ground in Salem on Wednesday, June 28.

The IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans have had a mixture of results in the tournament, winning two matches and losing two out of their total of four matches. The Tamizhans, led by NS Chaturved, are placed sixth in the table with four points and a net run rate of -0.529. After losing two matches to start their campaign, they have gradually started to find their rhythm and bounce back strongly. IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans will head into the upcoming TNPL clash high on confidence after beating Ba11sy Trichy by 46 runs in their last match. Thus, they are one of the in-form teams at the moment. Batters like Sai Kishore, Balchander Anirudh and Vijay Shankar have done very well in the last match and will be hoping to continue in a similar fashion.

On the other hand, the Dindigul Dragons have been performing exceptionally well, winning three matches out of their four played so far. The Dragons, led by Ravi Ashwin, are placed third in the table with six points and a net run rate of +0.434. However, they suffered a defeat in their previous match against Lyca Kovai Kings, losing by a margin of 59 runs. The Dragons did lose their first match but have a great chance of making a comeback. Batting looked a bit weak but they have quality players in the form of Baba Indrajith, Shivam Singh and Adithya Ganesh, who can take some responsibility and get the job done in the coming match also they have one of the best bowling attacks of the tournament.

Match Details:

Date: Wednesday, June 28, 2023

Time: 7:15 PM IST

Venue: SCF Cricket Ground, Salem

Pitch Report:

The SCF Cricket Ground in Salem has gained a reputation for favoring bowlers due to its unique characteristics. Although the pitch conditions are expected to be favorable for fast bowlers, spinners will also become increasingly important as the game progresses.

Toss Prediction:

Considering the ground’s attributes and past matches, if a team wins the toss, they would probably opt to bowl first.

EKLAVYA- Players who were good enough, but never played for India.

Tamil Nadu is the only team which has won Ranji, Deodhar, Irani, Syed Mushtaq Ali and Vijay Hazare trophy. But their last Ranji trophy triumph came in 1987-88. We expect the leader who made that happen to have a cult following at least in Tamil Nadu, but I never stumbled upon Santhanaraman Vasudevan's name in any of the cricket groups/discussions. I went through at least 10-20 Quora articles and came across his name. His wikipedia is six lines long.

S Vasudevan was born on 12 December 1955 in then Madras. He was an all rounder whose records weren't flattering. He was a slick left handed batsman who had a mean arm ball and silky hair. His silky hair was a rage back then. But his bowling and batting record which were in the early 20s never helped his cause, as his main competitor tuen was Ravi Shastri.

Self-effacing to the core, S. Vasudevan was a precocious talent. A wonderful left-arm spinner with guile, deception and a deadly arm-ball. A languid, capable bat with strokes and substance, he made runs when it mattered and Vasudevan was an effortless catcher in the slips.

When asked about the Ranji trophy victory, Vasudevan said- “We had a blend of experience and youth. We had youngsters such as M. Venkataramana, U. R. Radhakrishnan and M. Senthilnathan". He added- “We also had men who had played a fair amount of first-class cricket in V. Sivaramakrishnan, B. Arun, V. B. Chandrasekar, L. Sivaramakrishnan, Robin Singh, P. C. Prakash, D. Girish and myself. International cricketers like K. Srikkanth and W. V. Raman too featured in a few games".

Talking about his style of captaincy, Vasudevan said, “I was not a control freak. The players were given the freedom to express themselves. Every suggestion was welcome.”

Why has Tamil Nadu not been able to replicate the feat? Vasudevan explained: “We don’t play tournaments such as Buchi Babu and Moin-ud-dowla which would be ideal preparation for the Ranji season. Instead we go straight into the season from Twenty20 competition".

After hanging his boots, Vasudevan performed myriad roles, ranging from TNCA's chief selector to mentoring a school team.

so uuh whats up with dabi’s scars? a meta

i cant be stopped. i should be doing my coursework, and instead im breaking this shit down.

warning for frank discussion of burn trauma, injury and scars.

what are dabi’s scars? what caused them?

most likely, based on his quirk and theorized childhood (as endeavor’s son), they’re burn scars. burn scars can be broken up into a couple of categories.

superficial (first degree): extends into the epidermis; red without blisters; dry and painful; heals well [1]

superficial partial thickness (second degree): extends into superficial dermis; redness with clear blister; moist and very painful; heals well with chances of local infection [1]

deep partial thickness (second degree): extends into deep dermis; yellow or white, may or may not blister; fairly dry and causes feelings of pressure and discomfort; causes scarring and contracture [1, 2]

full thickness (third degree): extends through entire dermis; stiff and white brown; leathery and painless; causes scarring and contracture; amputation recommended [1, 2]

fourth degree: extends through entire skin and into underlying muscle, fat and bone; black and sometimes sloughing off; dry and painless; causes severe impairment and death; amputation recommended [1]

an issue with identifying which burn type dabi has is that we’ve never seen his scars in the initial stages. i can pretty confidently say that it’s not first or second degree burns based on how his scars look. knowing this, we can go into a little more detail concerning full thickness and fourth degree burns.

how are these burns treated/how do they heal?

generally the body has a severe inflammatory response to these burns, which causes a loss of fluids that can be fatal. it can damage the heart, lungs, blood vessels, kidneys, and other organ systems, and trigger a drop in blood pressure that results in shock [3].

fluid can also become trapped in the body during this response, and cause an edema (localized swelling). an edema, shock, or another response can block oxygen from reaching certain organs, and cause damage/failure. due to the surface area of a burn and the skin damaged, infections of the burn itself is a major concern, as well as infection of organs/organs systems, as the entire immune system is weakened [3].

sometimes superficial partial thickness burns will scar, but beyond that all burns result in scarring. with full thickness and fourth degree burns, the burned tissue will only scar. tissue grafts, excision and amputation are the only long term treatment [1, 2].

keeping the area of the burn sterile is generally the primary concern of doctors. they used sterile dressings and topical antibiotics. treatment beyond that is skewed depending on the severity of the burn. third and fourth degree burns require lots of IV fluids to prevent dehydration and shock and maintain blood pressure. severe and large burns are treated by removing the burned flesh and using skin grafts. severely burned limbs may be amputated [3].

how do these burns scar?

uuh, not well. with third and fourth degree burns, there is tissue damage and loss all the way through the skin and to the bone, sometimes. it’s not going to heal back; the body really can only scar over. skin grafts could be used to cover the scarring and promote some healing [4].

if the scar is a circumferential burn (where a full thickness burn affects the entire circumference of a digit, extremity, or even the torso) an emergency surgery called an escharotomy will be performed (an incision will be made through the scar tissue and into the tissue below) [5].

an escharotomy will be done to treat/prevent problems with circulation in the affected tissue, ventilation, and prevent possible edemas. this also enables greater movement in the scar tissue and surrounding tissue [5].

what problems, beyond scarring, do burns cause?

more like what problems don’t they cause. beyond just the burn that destroys tissue and nerves, they increase the chances of infection in the burned area as well as other organs/organ systems because the immune system is weakened [3].

severe burn scars can lead to hypovolemic and hypothermic shock as well. the skin regulates fluid and heat loss, and scars inhibit and interfere with this function. this can lead to decreased blood volume and the loss/retention of too much body heat [6, 7]. 

from the initial cause of the burn, cortisol (the “panic” hormone) and other neurotransmitters can cause a hypermetabolic state, associated with increased blood being processed by the heart, a faster metabolism, a fast heart rate, and poor immune function, which can laster for literal years after the incident [6]. 

so how does this relate to dabi? why did i make you read all of this kind of gross shit?

going by the outward appearance, i’m gonna say most of dabi’s scars are probably third degree and deep partial thickness (deep second degree). he’s still alive, for one thing, and is able to move, so that rules out fourth degree.

dabi’s scars probably, for the most part, have reduced his sense of feeling/touch to next to nothing. the only thing that registers is probably deep pressure and even that is iffy. the edges of the scars may be extra sensitive and itchy because the scarring is less there, and therefore the nerves are less damaged.

dabi is shown to be thin pushing on gaunt. he’s probably constantly hungry and tired, from his body trying to heal and survive with so much fucked up stuff going on. he probably has a hard time eating and swallowing because of the scars around his mouth/jaw and neck. if he’s in a hypermetabolic state, that’ll be made worse. stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal issues, due to altered blood flow/fluid loss at the instance/aftermath of burns, may make it hard for him to digest/keep food down.

chances are, dabi is often sick and/or fighting off infections. underneath his scars, as we’ve seen, is open muscle and tissue. pneumonia, localized infections, UTIs and respiratory infections are all problems he could have to deal with frequently. he’s literally walking around with a bunch of open wounds and a weak immune system. what a dumbass.

the staples on his face most likely don’t hold his burnt skin down. the burns are probably anchored to the tissue below- most likely, it’s to keep the open injuries from opening more and exposing the muscle/tissue/nerves under there. we’ve also seen that it allows ventilation for his quirk.

i’m also calling poor blood flow because of the damage to the tissue, so dabi might have nerve damage/poor feeling in his hands/fingers and feet because of the scarring. the hypermetabolic state referenced before can lead to decreased bone density and loss of muscle mass. 

aside from physical issues, burns can lead to problems like PTSD, body image problems, and other psychological issues including suicide [8]. dabi probably has a whole host of issues. 

and thats it my lads!

im so sorry i made you read all of that. it really is....uuuh a lot. hope this helps with any fics/meta/art people wanna do of dabi.

The Self-Refuting Nature of Pantheism

By: Norman Geisler

Pantheism is self-refuting, at least all forms that claim individuality is an illusion caused by my mind. For according to pantheism, individual minds are themselves aspects of the illusion and can therefore provide no basis for ex­plaining it. If the mind is part of the illusion, it cannot be the ground for explaining the illu­sion. Hence, if pantheism is true in asserting that my individuality is an illusion, then pan­theism is false, since there is then no basis for explaining the illusion.

Pantheism also fails to handle the problem of evil in a satisfactory manner. To pro­nounce evil an illusion or as less than real is not only frustrating and hollow to those experiencing evil, but it seems philosophically inadequate. If evil is not real, then what is the origin of the illusion? Why have people experienced it for so long, and why does it seem so real? Despite the pantheist’s claim to the contrary, he or she also experiences pain, suffering, and eventually will die. Even pantheists double-over in pain when they get appendicitis. They jump out of the way of an on-coming truck so as not to get hurt.

If God is all, and all is God, as pantheists maintain, then evil is an illusion and ulti­mately there are no rights and wrongs. For there are four possibilities regarding good and evil:

1) If God is all-good, then evil must exist apart from God. But this is impossible since God is all—nothing can exist apart from It.

2) If God is all-evil, then good must exist apart from God. This is not possible either since God is all.

3) God is both all-good and all-evil. This cannot be, for it is self-contradictory to affirm that the same being is both all good and all evil at the same time. Further, most pantheists agree that God is beyond good and evil. Therefore God is neither good nor evil.

4) Good and evil are illusory. They are not real categories.

Option four is what most pantheists believe. But if evil is only an illusion, then ulti­mately there is no such thing as good and evil thoughts or actions. Hence, what differ­ence would it make whether we praise or curse, counsel or rape, love or murder some­one? If there is no final moral difference between those actions, absolute moral respon­sibilities do not exist. Cruelty and non-cruelty are ultimately the same. One critic made the point with this illustration:

One day I was talking to a group of people in the digs of a young South African in Cambridge. Among others, there was present a young Indian who was of Sikh background but a Hindu by religion. He started to speak strongly against Christianity, but did not really understand the problems of his own beliefs. So I said, “Am I not correct in saying that on the basis of your system, cruelty and non-cruelty are ultimately equal, that there is no intrinsic difference between them?” He agreed…. The student in whose room we met, who had clearly understood the implications of what the Sikh had admitted, picked up his kettle of boiling water with which he was about to make tea, and stood with it steaming over the Indian’s head. The man looked up and asked him what he was doing and he said, with a cold yet gentle finality,

“There is no difference between cruelty and non-cruelty.” Thereupon the Hindu walked out into the night. [Schaeffer, The God Who Is There, 101]

If pantheists are correct that reality is not moral, that good and evil, right and wrong, are inapplicable to what is, then to be right is as meaningless as to be wrong (Schaeffer, He Is There and He Is Not Silent). The foundation for morality is destroyed. Pantheism does not take the problem of evil seriously. As C. S. Lewis put it, “If you do not take the distinctions between good and bad seriously, then it is easy to say that anything you find in this world is a part of God. But, of course, if you think some things really bad, and God really good, then you cannot talk like that” (Mere Christianity, 30).

In this and other ways, the pantheistic concept of God is incoherent. To say God is infinite, yet somehow shares his being (ex deo) with creation, is to raise the problem of how the finite can be infinite, which is what absolute pantheists say. Otherwise, one must consider the finite world less than real, though existing. We have seen the problems with the first, absolute option. But the second option makes God both infinite and finite, for it is said to share part of its being with creatures which entails an Infinite Being becoming less than infinite. But how can the Infinite be finite, the Absolute be relative, and the Unchanging changed?

Pantheism’s God also is unknowable. The very claim, “God is unknowable in an intel­lectual way,” seems either meaningless or self-defeating. For if the claim itself cannot be understood in an intellectual way, then it is self-defeating. For what is being affirmed is that nothing can be understood about God in an intellectual way. But the pantheist expects us to intellectually know this truth that God cannot be understood in an intellectual way. In other words, the pantheist appears to be making a statement about God to the effect that no such statements can be made about God. But how can one make a positive affirmation about God which claims that only negative affirmations can be made about God? Plotinus admitted that negative knowledge presupposes some positive awareness. Otherwise, one would not know what to negate.

Critics further claim that the denial of many pantheists of the applicability of logic to reality is self-defeating. For to deny that logic applies to reality, it would seem that one must make a logical statement about reality to the effect that no logical statements can be made. For example, when Zen Buddhist D. T. Suzuki says that to comprehend life we must aban­don logic (Suzuki, 58), he uses logic in his affirmation and applies it to reality. Indeed, the law of noncontradiction (A cannot both be A and not A) cannot be denied without using it in the very denial. Therefore, to deny that logic applies to reality, one must not make a logical statement about reality. But then how will the position be defended?
