Compositions include dressings comprising a sheet and an adhesive, wherein the adhesive is adhered to the sheet, and wherein the sheet has channels. In some embodiments, the channels comprise two different classes of channels (e.g. liquid channels and air channels). These dressing can be applied to various kinds of skin injuries and remain affixed, protecting the injury from contaminants and at the same time, allowing exchange of exudates on the proximal (injury) side to the distal side and exchange of topical agents applied from the distal side of the dressing to the wound while also allowing exchange of gasses from the injury to the air and air to the wound.

Abstract: A method for determining the likelihoods of a cue sport player completing a run of shots for each of a plurality of non-break ball patterns is provided. The method initially involves operating a computer to retrieve a non-break ball pattern of the plurality of non-break ball patterns and to then facilitate the positioning of balls on a cue sport table in accordance with the non-break ball pattern. The positioning may be accomplished by use of a projector under control of the computer that projects ball positioning patterns on the sport table. The progress of the cue sport player through a run of the balls on the table is then monitored and the outcome of that progress, e.g. the number of balls in a run that are pocketed are recorded in association with the current non-break ball pattern.
