For some, these are one of the ways of escaping the reality and finding peace with the virtual world and for others, this might be a way of life. Here are some of the popular video games of all times that have made a separate place in our lives, at some point or other. Super Mario Bros.

Call of duty Having said about the NES, there are some of the popular games which were a big hit on PC as well. Call of Duty, which was formerly released on PC but then was extended to gaming consoles and Smartphones. The entire game setting is based on the World War II through the Cold War and even future instances. Newer technologies and innovations are ongoing assets of the video game industry.

With technological advancements, tires are designed to suit all types of weather, terrain, and driving conditions. You can use all-terrain tires to prevent buying a different set of tires for each changing season. However, it is advisable to use winter tires during the cold months. Even all-terrain tires will not provide the quality needed to drive during harsh winters, especially in the northern states. Here are five reasons why you should switch to winter tires. Special materials Tires are made from rubberized compounds that can withstand heat and cold up to certain temperatures. However, most tires manufactured will become hard and lose grip below seven-degree Celsius. Losing traction will make it difficult for you to control the vehicle at high speeds. Winter tires are formulated to maintain a good grip and flexibility in cold weather, thereby ensuring safety. Most winter tires can provide a good grip up to minus 30-degree Celsius. Braking power Braking over a cold slippery surface can cause the vehicle to skid and you may lose control. The risk is high during harsh winters as drivers have a habit of slamming hard on the brakes. Winter tires provide a much better grip and help recover the vehicle quickly from a skid that got out of control as opposed to regular tires. Better hydroplaning resistance Hydroplaning is a phenomenon in which the tires lose grip over any surface as the water accumulates in the space in between the tires and the surface. Winter tires have special grooves designed within the treads that push the water away to the sides. The grooves help provide the much-needed traction and grip while driving on different types of snow surfaces. Better traction Snow is very light and traction will be limited unless your vehicle is equipped with tires that have deep treads and wider grooves between each tread. The chances of losing traction at high speeds can be potentially fatal. Winter tires are designed with deep treads and horizontal slits that crisscross at intervals, thereby providing maximum grip and traction irrespective of the size of the vehicle. Control and maneuverability Winter tires have a narrower width compared to regular tires. The tire design and tread pattern also put more pressure on the tire to maintain grip, especially in snow-covered roads. Winter tires allow vehicles to cut through the snow-covered roads more efficiently. Popular winter tire manufacturers include Bridgestone, Nokian, Continental, Michelin, Pirelli, Gislaved, Toyo, Dunlop, Hercules, Goodyear, and Yokohama.

It's not the first choice of meat and bone that comes to you mind. In fact, many must have not even heard about the widespread use of these hooves in dishes let alone, be the featured ingredient of the recipe. Pigs feet are commonly prepared down south where they are boiled, braised or even jellied. Pickled pig's feet, is another common feature down south.

Here is a list of most unusual dishes which feature pig's feet as the star of the recipe.

Southern style pig's feet: Chopped onions, bell peppers and celery sticks immersed in white vinegar water, with close to a dozen pig's feet seasoned with salt and pepper. This boiled version of the hooves slow cooks in a large Dutch oven, ingredients beautifully mixed together in that vegetable broth with the perfect amount of seasoning until the cooked meat is tender. A very simple yet delicious recipe which serves 4-6 people.

Fried pig's feet recipe: The initial preparation method is similar to boiling pig's feet in a large Dutch over, something like the southern pig's style recipe. But a couple of more steps after that ensure a crispy tasty recipe with just the right amount of everything from veggies to seasoning. The feet, which has been cooking for a while in the broth is then removed and strained properly to remove the excess water. A batter must be made from scratch by combining two eggs, a little flour, salt and pepper for seasoning. Fry the blissful combination until golden brown and serve with a dip or side of your choice.

Jellied pig's feet: Another interesting take on the classic recipe, with the addition of pork loin to the tender cooked meat. The meat is diced along with veggies and again cooked in the broth with proper seasoning to be then poured into molds, refrigerated overnight to form jellies. Now they might differ a lot in taste and appearance compared to Jello recipes, sweet or savory for that matter. This recipe is an interesting take and one of the traditional methods of cooking pig's feet, passed down from generation to generation.

It may not be the most popular dish worldwide, but recipes down south tend to feature this unusual meat regularly. Making the most of all the meat available, from head to toe, literally! Pigs feet are now regarded as a delicacy, with the classic preparation methods of boiling, braising and jellying.

Most scientists and doctors in the field believe that Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease. It is the destruction of the protective covering of the nerves of the central nervous system and brain. The immune cells for some unknown reason, turn against the myelin sheath of these nerves. The destroyed portions are replaced with scar tissue. It can happen at any number of portions of any central nerve. Hence the name Multiple Sclerosis or MS. Like other autoimmune diseases, MS also has the character of periodic flare-ups and remissions. Many of the features of multiple sclerosis are peculiar. Women are more prone to it than men. The month of birth appears to be a factor in its development. Its incidence is higher as one moves away from the equator. Diagnosis and treatments are still a challenge.

Nerves have a central core of nerve fiber which is covered by a very thick layer of Myelin. This layer, in addition to protecting the central nerve fiber bundle, plays an important role in the conduction of the electrical nerve impulses. When this sheath is damaged and replaced with scar tissue, the transmission of the nerve impulses is impaired. If the myelin is totally absent the conduction of the outward signal stop altogether. Since the attack can take place on anywhere on any nerve the symptoms of the disease is varied. The locations where the myelin is either partially or completely damaged and replaced with scar tissue is called plaques or lesions. As the lesions grow more the nerve suffers damage and can even break. It is the outward conduction that suffers.

The exact causes for this are not known. What are known are the risk factors and some of the trigger factors. Treatment centers around suppression of the immune system with all its attendant complications.

Some of the commonly established factors that usually most likely to be the target of MS are the age group of 18 to 60 years, women, those of European descent, genetics and heredity, the geographical location. Higher away from the equator the incidence of MS increases. There appears to have multiple triggers, rather than a single or limited. Similarly, the known trigger are infections, especially viruses like Epstein-Barr (mononucleosis), varicella zoster. This is not completely established.

Urge incontinence or urine retention, constipation, memory loss, difficulty in finding words, depression and emotional changes are some of the common complaints. Life expectancy is generally not affected. 

Many automotive brands across the globe are known to use modification ideas from their precursors and revamp them to produce latest car models. Here are some factors based on which many automotive companies come up with latest car model ideas. Innovating the brand's heritage Contrary to popular belief, using the brand's heritage gives the designers a platform on which they can work and come up with new designs. They work around the same design features and improve car technologies drastically. This gives the latest car models an image that is a reflection of their precursors but with better features. All this is done keeping in mind the current safety legislation. For instance, the fundamental layout of the carthe headlight dimensions and the bumper designwill be impacted by the current road and pedestrian rules but will have the same aesthetics of its predecessors. New technology inspiring new design Autonomous technology and completely electronic powertrains could be a liberating factor when it comes to designing the latest car models. The all-new autonomous designs will open doors to completely new designs and packaging, giving automotive designers a paradise to work on. Volkswagen's Sedric Concept, Mercedes-Benz F 015, and BMW's Vision Next 100 are a perfect example of developing automobiles based on futuristic technologies that are completely autonomous. Old archives to the rescue There is plenty of evidence that points towards the fact that many automotive brands have looked back at their past to look ahead in the future. The Volkswagen Beetle is the best example. The mainstream automotive brand has sold roughly 20 million Beetles over the past six decades. It is only now that the German brand has started developing a new design for the same car. Although the car looks completely revamped, it surely appears to have spawned from its successor. The automotive giant plans to manufacture pure-electric vehicles in the future which would be a "silent tribute" to their previous versions. Modifying old ideas Contrary to using old archives, many automotive brands have shaken off the idea of using old techniques to develop latest car models, as they don't find them refreshing and profitable enough. For instance, Land Rover's successor Range Rover Evoque looks completely rugged and an off-roading ultra-modern crossover, which is completely based on new design techniques. Same goes for their sister brandJaguar. Their cars in the 90s looked uncannily similar to their predecessors from 1970s. It was only with the F-pace SUV did the design team break clear of the lineage and came up with a completely refreshed design that restored company's profitability.
