I have enjoyed a lot of different sailing events, from local regattas to glamorous destinations. Each had its own appeal, but once I’ve been there, done that, I rarely return because there are new places to explore. But I made an exception for the Golden Rock Regatta, a little-known Caribbean series that is held in November, featuring long-distance races to a smattering of islands: St. Maarten, St. Eustatius, St. Barths and Anguilla. Exhilarating stretches of racing during the day are followed by nightly raft-ups and casual parties. It perfectly combines the thrill of racing with the adventure of exploring a different piece of paradise each night, which has given me the opportunity to forge friendships with other “Rockers” over the years.
What a thrill it brought, pressing my face against a hazy plexiglass airplane window, and seeing whitecaps scattered on the sea from 29,000 feet. Following last year’s tragic season of storms in the Caribbean, I was flying to the British Virgin Islands for the Spring Regatta, which has been bringing sailors to Tortola and the surrounding islands since 1972. As the flight descended through the tropical sky, I began to see the telling signs of destruction. Hundreds of homes were without roofs and scores of boats were askew and aground. But this isn’t a story about destruction. It’s a story about revival, and how sailors are helping bring that about.
Since its first running over a century ago, the Transpacific Yacht Race has bewitched sailors of all backgrounds and ages, to challenge the 2,216-mile course from California to Hawaii. This year’s edition was no exception—a magical experience, for more reasons than you could shake a wand at. There were racers young and old, on yachts large and small, from classic Cal 40s to the record-breaking maxi Comanche. There was a sled with a cat’s name, Pyewacket, and a cat with a monkey’s name, Chim Chim. And this year’s race marked the return of The Wizard.
Going away to camp is a childhood ritual. There are space camps with real astronauts like Scott Kelly, tennis pro camps, celebrity baseball camps and even a football academy where Tom Brady could be the coach. So why not a yacht racing camp with the pros? The Bitter End Yacht Club’s annual Pro-Am offers just that, inviting top sailors from an array of disciplines to sail and compete with campers. But the event has one exceptional twist—it’s for grown-ups.
For 30 years, sailors have escaped the clutches of Old Man Winter by heading south, to the southernmost point in the U.S.—Key West, Florida.

The Tobago Cays are a divine cluster of isles in the Grenadines, in the southeastern Caribbean. But their out-of-the-way location can make this piece of heaven a bit hellish to get to. Roughly 30 nautical miles south of St. Vincent and 30 nautical miles north of Grenada, a visit requires a bluewater sail through the passes between the Windward Islands.
Transiting the Panama Canal is a rite of passage that packs a lot into a 50-mile journey. Whether crossing from the Atlantic to the Pacific or vice versa, cruisers celebrate their arrival in Central America by taking this short cut that recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of the opening of a channel cut through mountain and jungle in an engineering feat for its time.
Maybe it had something to do with the bounty of food and drink served. Maybe it was the chill in the early autumn air or something in the green-tinted lake water. Whatever the cause, Blue Chip Fever struck Pewaukee, Wisconsin, in late September.
Careers and years have a way of tugging friends apart. So photographer Bob Grieser’s 29-year-old godson Sean, who had a landmark birthday looming, resolved to gather his pals from all corners of the continent for a tropical vacation. The trip would launch from Grand Abaco Island, one of the Bahamas’ 700 islands and cays that sprawl across 80,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean.
Keeping both partners happy when one finds a new passion is an age-old dilemma; even Penelope stayed home in Troy when Ulysses sailed off. So often, one partner gets hooked on sailing, but their companion doesn’t; one has a boating background, while the other’s water-based activities are limited to the bath.If you’re having a hard time getting your loved ones into sailing, now might be the time to sweeten the deal. Sailing schools exist in every beautiful corner of the world and who can turn down a learn-to-sail vacation in paradise?
Digging deep into a wooden chest filled with doublets, waistcoats, sashes and breeches I found a tri-cornered hat, complete with beaded dreadlocks dangling from its leather brim. Perfect! Along with my plastic cutlass and scabbard, I was a near-clone of Capt. Jack Sparrow. I sauntered out into the bright sunlight to join my crewmates, scrambling over cannons and up ratlines like scurrilous pirates. St. Vincent and the Grenadines served as the primary filming location for “Pirates of the Caribbean” and a dozen years later, we found ourselves romping through several of the remaining movie sets at the town of Wallilabou, aka “Port Royal” in the popular movie series. It was just one of the many treasures we unearthed on a Sunsail flotilla cruise through the Windward Islands.
Flotilla sailing offers the benefit of a built-in group of friends, with many practical advantages as well. Daily weather reports, chart briefings and local knowledge, plus knowing a helping hand is not far away can set your mind at ease, whether you’re a novice charterer, or old hand.

Motivation: Protein sequence alignment plays a critical role in computational biology as it is an integral part in many analysis tasks designed to solve problems in comparative genomics, structure and function prediction, and homology modeling.
Methods: We have developed novel sequence alignment algorithms that compute the alignment between a pair of sequences based on short fixed- or variable-length high-scoring subsequences. Our algorithms build the alignments by repeatedly selecting the highest scoring pairs of subsequences and using them to construct small portions of the final alignment. We utilize PSI-BLAST generated sequence profiles and employ a profile-to-profile scoring scheme derived from PICASSO.
Results: We evaluated the performance of the computed alignments on two recently published benchmark datasets and compared them against the alignments computed by existing state-of-the-art dynamic programming-based profile-to-profile local and global sequence alignment algorithms. Our results show that the new algorithms achieve alignments that are comparable with or better than those achieved by existing algorithms. Moreover, our results also showed that these algorithms can be used to provide better information as to which of the aligned positions are more reliable—a critical piece of information for comparative modeling applications.

Headaches can be extremely frustrating and debilitating. There's actually a lot that you can do to make them feel better. I want to teach you a little bit about them and then give you some tips on how to manage them.
Headaches can be broken into a few different categories. The first category is migraines. Often people use the term migraine to describe a really bad headache, but in reality, a true migraine is a different kind of headache that actually has a vascular component, which basically means that there's an abnormal functioning of the blood vessels to the brain. It causes this throbbing, quite intense headache and is episodic. It's usually associated with some light and sound sensitivity as well. Often, migraines need some kind of pharmacological management, and a chat with your GP about them is usually a good idea.
The second type of headache that I want to talk about is the tension type headache. I think a lot of people are fully aware of how stress and tension in their body tends to manifest in their head. That usually presents as a headache where you're getting pain on both sides of your head. Really, the best way to deal with those kind of headaches is stress management and looking at what in your life is not making you calm, and winding up your central nervous system. You can look back at some of the meditation videos that Sam and San have made in the past to give you some tips on that. Otherwise, just thinking about other stress management techniques can be really helpful, so whether it's exercising, whether it's listening to music before bed, whatever it is you need to do to wind down your central nervous system and deal with the stress that's producing those tension type headaches.
The third type of headache, and probably the most common is something called a cervicogenic headache, which is a headache that's referred from tension in your neck muscles and the neck joints. There's a few things that really tend to set these off. I know we nag you all the time about posture but that really is the biggest culprit for these types of headaches. I'll just give you a couple of examples why.
Because of our current day and age and our reliance on technology, we're spending way too much time on our phones with our heads poking forward like a turtle or at your desk slumped over a laptop (guilty), and basically what that does is it compresses the joints in the top of your neck. That ends up referring to your head and causing all sorts of different patterns around your head. Basically, it's really easy to fix that. Again, you can refer to some of our blogs that we've written or videoed about ergonomic setup and looking at desk setup, just to try and make the environment that you spend most of your time in at work as comfortable as possible, so that your neck gets a bit of a break.
The other big contributor to that is just poor control of the neck muscles. The muscles that get really tight are the ones in the front of your neck and also the ones at the base of your skull. They'll get too tight, again from poor postures and stress can also contribute to that, but the biggest thing you need to do is you need to wake up the deep muscles in the front of your neck that stabilize your neck. They're called your deep neck flexors. I kind of like to think about them as the core of your neck. There's a couple of exercises you can do to get those muscles working. Classically, it's been taught as a really big retraction exercise where you're producing a double chin, but actually that will reinforce that overactivity of those superficial muscles. We're trying to work on deep muscles that work more subtly.
The exercise we like to give is basically putting the back of your head on the wall. You are trying to open up the base of your neck by lengthening your neck, and lifting the top of your head upwards just to tuck your chin in. You gently just do a chin tuck. You're not making a massive double chin but you're just trying to lengthen the top of your neck to wake up those muscles that just bring your chin down and out of that forward, poked neck posture. If you do have a headache, just give that a go. Just gently take it into that position. Try and hold it for a few seconds and then relax. You can repeat that a few times and see if that helps with your headache off.

New Double Album from Lau's Aidan O'Rourke with Kit Downes (ECM). A musical response to the 365 stories by author James Robertson.
365: Volume 1 is a new double album (released by Reveal Records on 25 May 2018) from one of Scotland’s finest musicians, fiddler and composer Aidan O’Rourke.
The multiple BBC Folk Award winner and founding member of Lau, Kan and Blazin’ Fiddles spent a year writing daily musical responses to James Robertson’s short story collection 365: Stories (Hamish Hamilton / Penguin Books Ltd 2013).
2.	Do People Still Do This?
It all began with short stories. James Robertson, one of my favourite Scottish authors, wrote a short story every day for a year, and each story had exactly 365 words. Quite a task! I was given the collection for Christmas in 2015, and began reading the stories every day.
I loved reading those stories: a daily dose of poetry and wisdom. And I loved the writing. The language is emotional, concise, apposite. Somehow the words and the pacing of the stories felt musical. I was intrigued by the discipline of setting such a quantifiable daily creative ritual. Would the same be possible in music…? By February 2016, I had decided I would take on a similar writing challenge each day for a year. I told James and he replied, ‘don’t do it!’, then suggested I give it a month and see if it drove me mad. By 28 February 2017, I had 365 new tunes, each one linked to a story from James’s collection.
There’s no doubt the tunes are based in Scottish folk music; that’s my backbone, the place I come from, the traditional language I love. There’s a parallel with James here, too, because he loves old Scots words and tales. But, like the music I make with my trio Lau, I’m always interested in new ways of playing with old forms.
Meanwhile, I had started an exciting new duo with piano/harmonium player Kit Downes. He has an extraordinary ear for harmony, informed by jazz and Ravel and the church organ repertoire he grew up playing. Occasionally I would send him rough solo recordings of the tunes and he would respond by harmonising them. He did complex and wonderful things with them, took them places I hadn’t imagined.
We got together in the studio in Edinburgh in the spring of 2017 and spent several days going through the tunes. We made a demo — the process felt adventurous and intuitive. From there, I booked a series of rural village hall gigs in Scotland in July 2017, and every time we played the tunes they seemed to grow and change and keep surprising us. My aim is to record all 365 tunes (made possible with support from Creative Scotland) and to release selected highlights as two double albums (365: Volume 1 in 2018, then 365: Volume 2 in 2019). In the summer of 2019 I plan to build a touring installation that will present all of the tunes, stories and audio recordings together. 365: Volume 1 was recorded in the early days of 2018 and will ship in April ahead of it’s May 25th UK release.

From the Mazda Motor Corporation which is based and has its headquarters in Japan is yet another vehicle that has made heads turn at the sight of it and has made its passengers and its driver wonder about the comfort and reliability that this vehicle could offer. This is vehicle is the Mazda 323. It is a subcompact car. It was produced starting from 1975 and the last year that units of this vehicle were crafted was in 1984. When the Mazda 323�s lifeline was completed halted that in 1984, Mazda was already cooking up another vehicle to replace and take the spot in their vehicle line up which the Mazda 323 would be leaving blank. The Mazda 323�s replacement was the Mazda Mazda3.
The Mazda 323 has been made available in two body styles and these are the sedan and the hatchback. Mazda has also made sure that this vehicle would give interested parties the chance to choose as per what kind of engine would suit their needs, and preferences. The engine choices are the 1.4 liter UC engine, the 1.3 liter E3 engine, and the 1.5 liter E5 engine.
If you take the time to travel to Japan, you would notice that the very same Mazda 323 vehicle is known as the Mazda Familia there. In the United States, on the other hand, it has been previously marketed by the company as the Mazda GLC. Later on, it became the Mazda 323 and then in 1990, the name was changed to become the Mazda Prot�g�. However, if you do travel to the far reaches of South Africa, the people here would not introduce the vehicle to you as the Mazda 323, Prot�g�, GLC, or Familia. Here, this vehicle is known as the Mazda Etude. When the Mazda 323s were still in production, assembly of the vehicle was done in various countries like Taiwan, Malaysia, South Africa, Colombia, and New Zealand.
On the other hand, for the greatest deals on Mazda 323 parts and other Mazda model parts, Mazda Parts and Mazda Auto Parts has the largest source of superior quality and affordable parts.

You can do it alone for all 10 marks or in a group of two for a maximum of 8 marks. This is to encourage enthusiastic researchers to do it alone and the rest to pair up and still put in a good effort. No request for a group of three will be allowed.
Absolutely no copy-paste or paraphrasing without an explicit reference and quotation marks. All plagiarism cases will be forwarded to Diciplinary Committee.
Write a 4-page research paper in ACM format using LaTeX (no other format).
You are to pick a topic and find five papers on the topic in top conferences (Best papers in OSDI, SOSP, ASPLOS are good starting points) from 2000 onwards. Both topic and papers are to be approved from me by 30th April. You are to understand the papers in depth (a viva will be conducted) and write the 4-page paper.
Abstract: Why problem is your topic about. How is that problem solved by the papers you discussed. What is your take from the different solutions.
Introduction: Background and problem in your words. Put everything in context.
Comparative Analysis: Pick aspects of your problem, make them sub-sections, and discuss how different solutions handle that aspect. This is important to not pick papers and summarize them one by one and instead compare them on different aspects. For example, free space management is an aspect of file systems and different approaches handle it in different ways. Similarly, integrity and versioning are apects whereas indexed file system and log structured file system are complete solutions. This will be the longest section of the paper with at least 2 pages.
Conclusions: You describe here what are next issues that can be addressed in your opinion.
References: You list here in ACM format the key five papers you base your research on and in addition any other papers you read or took something from.
Looking through papers with best paper awards in recent OSDI, SOSP, and ASPLOS is a good starting point for other ideas. Topics about distributed systems are okay but you need to have the prerequisite knowledge.
Do not take this as an easy assignment. The last time I gave this assignment it resulted in the lowest average of all assignments. The main reason was that people just summarized different papers without a deeper understanding and without any comparative analysis. If you start early, you can always get feedback from me or the TA. Also, don’t keep learning LaTeX for the last day. It takes some time to get used to.

Following years of restoration and development, the Marina el-Alamein archaeological site on the north coast, will be opened in mid-September.
Minister of Culture, Farouk Honsy, announced the projected opening tuesday and he added that a high tech lighting system had been installed through the entire site, which would permit visitors to view el-Alamein in the evening.
Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), said that the site include Roman villas and baths, as well as Greco-Roman markets, remains of a church, tombs, streets and a Roman theatre.
Hawass continued that the site of el-Alamein was once the most important and well-known port during the Greco-Roman era and it is the first archaeological site on the north coast to be developed as a tourist friendly site.
Dr. Mohamed Abdel Maqsoud, Head of the Central Administration of Lower Egypt, said that the entrance fee for the site will be 5LE for Egyptians and 2,50LE for Egyptian students in order to encourage local tourism. He added that the site is capable of hosting visitors at day and night, which is very unique. Abdel Maqsoud explained that the Graeco-Roman name of el-Alamein was “Locasiss,” which means “the white shell.” It got this name because of the softness and the white colour of its sand. The goddess of love, Aphrodite, was worshipped there and the statues found of her on the site show her emerging from a white shell, in reference to its name. Abdel Maqsoud added that the entire site of Mina el-Alamein had been redone as part of the SCA’s plan to develop archaeological sites along Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.
Dr. Sabri Abdel Aziz, Head of the Ancient Egyptian Department, said that Marina el-Alamein is the largest archaeological site on the north coast and stretches a length of 189 feddans. Over the last ten years, the SCA has carried out several excavations at the site, in addition to restoration and conservation projects with the collaboration of the Polish Archaeological Institute in Cairo and the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE).

A mother and two children are dead and a teenager is in custody after an incident in Perth that one homicide detective has described as “potentially the most horrific crime scene” he has ever been called to.
Police have not released the ages of the victims yet, but said they were a mother and a boy and a girl.
A 19-year-old man called police to a 7-Eleven convenience store on the Broadway in the Perth suburb of Ellenbrook about 1.30am on Sunday.
When officers arrived, their inquiries led them to the Ellenbrook home where they were confronted by the horrific scene.
On arrival, officers found a male and female dead inside the residence and another female in the backyard suffering from critical injuries.
An ambulance was called to the scene and the female was taken to Royal Perth Hospital.
However, she died a short time later.
It has now been confirmed the three victims were a mother and her two children, a boy and a girl.
It's understood the 19-year-old man lived at the home, but police would not comment on his relationship to the family.
Police were seen taking a large pair scissors from the scene on Sunday.
A neighbour living on the quiet Ellenbrook street said she believes a family from New Zealand with primary school-aged children lives at the home.
“I've seen the family when I have been walking by the house,” she said.
“I think there are at least two kids,” she said.
She said her husband woke in the early hours of Sunday morning to police cars driving down the street.
Assistant Commissioner Paul Steel said while details were still emerging, he believed the incident would have a profound impact on the victims' families and the WA community.
“At this particular point in time there's a very complex, and I would say horrific crime scene in place, and it will take us some time to process that crime scene, and that could be days,” he said.
“What I can tell you is a senior homicide squad investigating officer said to me today that it is potentially the most horrific crime scene that he has ever been called to.
“This is a terrible tragedy for the family involved, for their extended family and for those first responders who were forced to attend what was a horrific crime scene. My heartfelt condolences go out to all of those who have been affected by this tragedy.
“It's a crime that I know will send shockwaves throughout the community of Western Australia.
The 19-year-old man remains in custody and is assisting detectives with their inquiries.
Further details of the victims have not been released as officers attempt to contact their next of kin.
Neighbour Matthew Schreck told the ABC he had been woken by a disturbance at the home around an hour before police arrived.
"I just heard a lot of screaming and yelling and a bit of fighting, and the cops flew past here and headed up this way," he said.
"It was real loud yelling and screaming. It sounded pretty bad. It sounded like a man."
Forensic officers and homicide detectives remain at the scene as the investigation continues.
A 25-metre stretch of Brixton Crescent remains closed to the public.
The City of Swan has dispatched their Community Safety Advocate initiative to those who live in the area, and attending law enforcement officers.
A homicide squad command post remains on the quiet street, which is a relatively new development in the suburb and home to a number of young families.
More details of the incident will be released as detectives continue their investigation, but Mr Steel said anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

When you get married, hopefully it is for love and wanting to spend your lives together. However, it isn’t always this easy; life has a way of getting in the way and change happens. Understanding what to do in these situations is going to ensure that you have considered all options before you give up on your marriage and it ends in divorce.
If you are looking to try all aspects of help available to you, considering marriage counseling. It can help. Not all couples will stay together even after counseling and it is important to realize that there are no guarantees.
However, the idea is to work with a trained counselor who is qualified to help mediate and open up communication between you and your partner, to build relationship skills and learn to resolve those conflicts in a manner that promotes listening and understanding. A counselor will also give you the skills to solve problems without resentment and anger.
The earlier that you are able to attend marriage counseling the better. If you can catch problems before negativity sets in you can prevent small issues from becoming toxic and destructive forces in your relationship. When negativity comes into a relationship, those thoughts and feelings are hard to change. It is possible to change and to get the relationship back on track, but it is going to take longer and there is the possibility that more work will be required.
Seeking help from a marriage counselor takes courage. You will need to accept that you are going to discuss some very difficult topics, which can make you feel upset and emotional. However, this is part of the process that you need to work through. Being open and honest is going to make the process easier, but understanding what got you to marriage counseling and what you hope to gain from the experience will help you have a successful counseling experience.
The aim of the process is to get the communication flowing between the individuals. This is often the first aspect of a marriage to suffer, if the communication leads to conflict and hurt, then removing yourself from this area is understandable. However, for a marriage to be successful long-term then communication and the ability to listen to what is being said is just one key to help fix the problem. There is no need for a marriage to rely on insults or demands, it should be a bond that grows with trust and respect for each other.
And If You Still Get Divorced?
There are instances where a counselor is not able to help repair the damage, and the marriage ends in divorce. However, if both of you have learned what you need to learn from your counseling experience, you won’t see these problems repeat themselves in your next relationship. It will have been worth the effort.

What is the Elite Athlete Program?
Our Elite Athlete Development Programme (EADP) is a four year programme (2020 to 2024) meant to give athletes the best of everything they require to be able to make podium success in the Olympics. We have minimal provisions for you to compete in the international circuit as part of the growth plan.
Deferred assessments and assignment extensions. Elite Athletes are eligible to defer assessments and exams due to sporting commitments or if competing inter-state or overseas.
Flexible attendance throughout the academic semester. We are still working to get our student athletes to be exempted from specific attendance requirements due to sport related travel commitments.
Elite athletes are eligible for funding benefits through the Elite Athlete Scholarship Programme. Our plan is to have 100 such athletes in Nigerian higher institutions of learning.
Funding support will also be available to compete at the World University Games for those who meet our standards for each of the five sports and other world Championships in your sports discipline.
Elite Athlete Scholarships support elite athletes in attaining excellence in their chosen sport whilst maintaining high academic achievements. A total of N45m is planned for each of the 180 elite athletes in the six centre for a period of this four-year (2020-2024) tranche.
1. Mental toughness: Most great athletes in the world recognise that a significant proportion of performance is mental. Yet it’s uncommon for most men to spend any time on mind training and preparation. Elite athletes frequently report visualising their success before it happens.
By playing a “mental movie” of their conquests of upcoming competitions, they not only improve their performance, but also pre-emptively calm their nerves. The clearer the visualisation, the more powerful the impact.
2. Confidence: Nothing will cripple performance like damaged confidence. Every mistake holds a lesson, but dwelling on mistakes will inevitably lead to their repetition. When athletes make mistakes, they try to learn from and forget them instantly so they don’t linger. Having a short memory and identifying with past successes helps athletes maintain a high level of performance, even after major setbacks.
3. Personalised training programme: Most high-level athletes benefit from training under the supervision of a strength and conditioning coach. While some of these professionals are better than others, athletes will get better results following a structured programme than they will achieve on their own. It’s human nature to focus on what you’re good at, which isn’t always what you need.
By following a professionally designed training programme with components of individualisation, athletes are more likely to improve their weaknesses and overall performance and decrease their injury risk. Quality training often allows less-skilled athletes to compete at higher levels and can add years to a career.
While completing a pass is dependent upon a teammate catching it, habit goals are less dependent on external influences. As an example, a related habit goal could be, “I will make sure my head is up before making every pass.” Other habit goals can be things like always drinking a post-workout shake or always going to bed at a specific time. Setting goals provides athletes with structure and constant motivation, which ensures continual progress.
5. Coaching with separate style: Athletes are fortunate to work with a variety of coaches invested in their success. In many cases, coaches are what make everything else on this list possible. A strength coach can help design an individualised training programme, a nutrition coach can make specific pre and post-workout recommendations and a sports coach can help the athlete set performance and habit goals.
Coaches help athletes stay focused and keep progressing. They remove many of the “planning” stresses from the athlete and allow them to focus more on the implementation side of things.

My daughter recently brought a card game with her when she came to visit and it was so much fun that I decided to share my terrific 'find'! Scrabble Word Play Poker is a great card game for the whole family, but not only that - it would make a great Christmas stocking stuffer.
Our family is a Scrabble family from way back. We have been playing Scrabble since our kids were young enough to start playing at 7-8 years of age and have been playing ever since. We generally have a game going on a table somewhere whenever someone visits. We have the old board game of Scrabble that is 20 some years old, we have the Deluxe Scrabble game that a friend gave us one Christmas complete with the turntable, and we also have the travel Scrabble game! I would say that we are Scrabble enabled!
We also have the Scrabble dictionary because heaven forbid if someone didn't know how to spell something! We also have Scrabble loaded on our computers!
Scrabble Word Play Poker is a game for 2-6 players ages 8 to 100!
So all that said, why would we need more Scrabble games? Because they made them of course! I really enjoyed Scrabble Word Play Poker though I am a lousy poker player and usually just win by accident if ever I do win. However, Scrabble Word Play Poker is right up my alley because it involves words....something I'm very fond of!
Let's see how it's played and then you be the judge as to how much fun it is! The object is to score the most points. The 'recommended' duration of 1 game is 10 hands or rounds but you can play to your heart's content and just determine the winner by the highest score. Every hand or round is a new shot at making a word - so you are never stuck with bad tiles!
The game is played as follows: You all draw a card and the closest card to the letter A leads off as the dealer. The deal always proceeds to the left as does play. The dealer shuffles all the cards and then deals out 7 cards to everyone face down. Only the player will see his or her cards until they are played. The rest of the deck is placed in the middle of the table for drawing cards - no card is turned up.
Each player on looking at their cards tries to come up with the BEST word that they can make out of the 7 cards - for the most points. Each player (first player to the left of the dealer goes first and so on) gets to draw up to 3 new cards and discard 3 per hand to make a word.
When all players have kept their 7 cards, drawn up to 3 new cards and discarded and are ready to lay down their words, then the player to the left of the dealer lays down his or her word, etc. Play proceeds around the table and someone keeps score noting how many points each player got. That is the end of the first hand.
The player to the left of the dealer now becomes the dealer and proceeds on as above after shuffling the cards. You play rounds or hands until you decide to stop - it is as simple as that. There is a score sheet on the back of the instructions that you can copy - or make your own - or just keep score on a pad of paper.
That was the basic idea behind the game - however, to make it all more interesting, as is customary in Scrabble, there are 'premium' squares that double or triple a letter score or a word score - these are also a part of Scrabble Word Play Poker.
The deck is comprised of 110 cards.
There are 74 letter cards.
There are 32 premium score cards such as those noted in the pictures in the slideshow but the premium score cards are for many different letters.
There are 4 wild cards - which may be played for any letter and do not have any point value.
The rules for Scrabble Word Play Poker are much the same as for regular Scrabble - meaning you decide on the dictionary to be used before you start the game if you are using one, be it a standard dictionary or a Scrabble dictionary. Usually words that are capitalized, abbreviated, are prefixes or suffixes if they stand alone, and words requiring punctuation such as apostrophes or hyphens are not accepted. Likewise, archaic, obsolete, colloquial and slang words are not usually accepted - but the terms of what is allowable need to be set before play.
A word laid is a word played! No take backs!
If you decide beforehand that there will be challenges of words allowed, then decide as well if there will be a penalty involved. If the challenger is incorrect and the word is correct that a player has spelled, will there be a penalty of points awarded due to the incorrect challenge? Likewise, if the word is in fact incorrect, then will there be a penalty for the incorrect word - a reduction in points on that player's score?
The dictionary should be used for challenges only though that rule depends on the parties playing!
Scrabble Word Play Poker is a great game for the family and for gatherings with friends.
It is also a super game for travel as it is only a deck of cards!
This is also a great learning game for spelling for kids of all ages.
Scrabble Word Play Poker can also be played as Hold 'Em style poker - instructions are included in the game.
There are a few variations of the game out there that come with poker chips as well and involve betting on hands - these are the more deluxe versions of the game.
All in all, this was a great game to play while sitting out on the patio on a warm summer evening and generates a lot of conversation and laughter.
I've always thought playing any kind of game with family or friends is a great way to spend time together - and a good way to keep your mind active. In this case, it is not all about luck but also about the power of words. If you're into words, you're gonna love this game!
This little game is a clever little variation on a classic - Scrabble.
Hope you get a chance to play soon and check it out!
Scrabble is one of the most popular board games ever. It makes a great gift.
Tips and tricks to playing Scrabble and impressing friends with you quick thinking and great word game skills.
Hey Laura - Either did I and I thought I knew everything Scrabble! Thanks for the read.
Thanks, I love Scrabble, too! Did not know about the cards, though!!
HH - For a Scrabble-holic like me though it's icing on the cake! This one is so easy to lug around I could play it anywhere...much to my family's dismay sometimes!
Whatever are they bringing out next. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by, Winsome - and I think you can play Texas Hold 'Em - it's in the directions but I totally did not 'get it'! My poker skills are rather limited and I believe I am poker-impaired, so this is not surprising!
It's a blast - and because you can play it as long as you want and every hand is a 'new start'...it's wonderful and can even keep someone's attention who didn't really, really want to play!
Never heard of this, but I love Scrabble. Thanks!
I agree! He probably knows all kinds of canine words that I have no CLUE how to spell!
I'll bet that little guy'd absolutely slaughter you! You better study up, gal!
Sad but true, today I don't think there is that much emphasis on spelling! I love Scrabble just because it makes you think of words and I love words - I also play solo Scrabble on my computer though when I can't get Bob to join in....I'm still working on getting Griffin to play!
Reading this hub has me so depressed. I am the ONLY one in my house that cares about spelling!!! No kidding! It's torture around here, but I love them anyway, so oh, well.
Maybe I can turn my soon to exist grandchild to love spelling-then we can play!
Lovely, eh? I've gotten quite a few 'ewwww's when I do that - not ewes but EWWWW's. Quite embarrassing - Ms. Wordsmith.
I have to say too that everyone expects a lot from me when it comes to Scrabble. Not only do I edit for a living as well as do medical transcription, but now I'm a wannabe writer. Good god - the pressure is enough to pull me under!
So when you are playing Scrabble next time, think of me - counseling could be useful in this case for me. I have too much to deal with and all this pressure to be #1 is sometimes a cross to bear! Seriously, my son Patrick almost ALWAYS beats the living tar out of me at it which makes me furious (ha ha) but it's just something I gotta live with! I seriously probably lose more than I win - so being a wordsmith doesn't really apparently matter in the case of Scrabble!
I need to go to Scrabble camp! That's it!
OMG - you mean mixing Bowel was a mistake and that's not where you stir the ingredients? OMG! OMG!
Thanks, Katie for stopping by - I love games but Scrabble is my favorite by far. I'm loving these card games because now I can talk Bob into playing! It's tough when it's just the 2 of us - blasted Griffin can't seem to hold the dang cards in his paws - or move the stupid tiles!
I can be either or - if you sign me up as Audrey then I can also sign up as Audrea - and play twice as many times, right?
I seriously do have a word problem - I can't get away from them! It is a terrible affliction but one I guess I shall have to live with. I don't know anyone who has died of spelling to death, eh? At least not yet!
My worst problem though is when I do recipes - I type BOWEL for 8-10 hours per day and I've been known to instruct folks to put the ingredients in a mixing bowel and stir well....well, I guess so!
I am setting up a new association for those who are suffering from ESA. Would you like to be a charter member? Our mission is to return our members to society where they can again lead fulfilling lives.
ESA is Extreme Scrabble Addiction. The membership fee is a pittance. The initiation fee, however, requires your signing a one-year contract as an indentured servant. Do I spell your name as Audrey or Audrea on the contract?

Check for cyclists (and scooter-ers) before you open the door.
Doing the Dutch Reach is a proven way to help prevent dooring collisions. What’s more, it reminds drivers and riders to safely and peacefully coexist with our friends on two wheels.
In cities we all share the streets. Let’s make them safer for everyone by teaching the reach — and making it a habit.

Given its brevity it skips over a lot of additional points that could be made.
For example, the most glaring demonstration that more CO2 means a hotter planet is the example of Venus, a planet that's closer to the Sun than we are (so it gets more intense sunlight) but that's shrouded in clouds that reflect so much sunlight into space that all else being equal, we'd expect the surface of Venus to be pretty close to that of the Earth. But it isn't, because Venus as a very dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and consequently a surface temperature in the hundreds of degrees. You can cook a turkey on Venus by setting it outside for half an hour or so.

Reliance Jio 4G sim is finally available for 3 leading manufacturers in the smartphone industry. The SIM released last week for the leading handset brands including Micromax and YU but the week come with good news for Coolpad, Oneplus and Xiaomi users around the world. Xiaomi is currently the most loved brand by Indian customers, and Jio 4G sim was not available for the leading handset from the very beginning.
Mukesh Ambani had announced earlier this week to roll out the sim distribution process for all leading manufacturers from 5th of September onwards. However, it was expected that no need of code will be required for the forthcoming week, but that won’t happen.
One with a 4G Compatible handset can Enjoy unlimited HD Voice, Video Calls, SMS, High-Speed Data and access to Jio Apps at no cost till 31st of December. On the other hand, Jio also came up with irresistible offers to recharge the phone thereof.
The welcome offer has been converted into the Preview offer from now, which means the user will be allocated only 4GB of data as daily cap usage. Old users who enrolled themselves during the Welcome offer will continue enjoying the unlimited benefits. However, it appears, Oneplus One/Two/X are not eligible for the SIM, but you can still try your luck.
The process is same as of any other handset in the world. First, you need to download My Jio application from play store. Second, it will tell you to download around 10 applications from the play store, do download these apps if you want to enjoy a high success rate.
Second, open the application names ‘My Jio. Keep your Mobile data active during the process. Reliance is not issuing the SIM cards to the users browsing the app using WiFi.
Third, you will be redirected to the welcome screen, click on ‘Get Jio SIM’ on the screen. This option might not be visible for many people. You are required to diagnose the problem yourself by checking whether you had installed all other apps and make sure Mobile data is turned on.
Share your important contact details. Enter First name, Last Name and existing mobile number for mobile number verification. Enter the verification code received on your handset.
Turn on your Location or enter the location manually by selecting from the drop down menu. This step will also help in detecting the nearest Digital store.
Now generate the coupon, a screenshot will be automatically saved to your device, but it’s better to take a screenshot for future usage. You got the coupon code, and now you need to take a print out of that screen and attach it here with the form you will obtain from Digital store.
Check the documents required in the next step; this step will tell you the documents accepted as ID proof. Aadhar card is accepted as a proof of identity and proof of address as well, but the photo should be clear on it.
Go with the original and duplicate proof of identity with 2 photos to the nearest Jio store and collect your 4G SIM card for free.

Dundee United are to begin talks in the next few days in an attempt to prevent Scotland striker Steven Thompson leaving the club for nothing in the summer.
New Tannadice owner Eddie Thompson is angry that recently sacked manager Alex Smith and the previous board had not already moved to secure the 23-year-old on a new deal.
Striker Thompson is out of contract next summer.
By then, he will have turned 24 and be able to leave for another club without United being due any compensation.
He can begin talking to potential new clubs in January.
The club chairman said: "This situation should not have been left to me to deal with.
"When you know you have got the January gap coming up and his contract expiring next summer, you really should be doing this several months before now.
"I will be sitting down with Steven within the next few days.
"First of all, these will be initial discussions just to voice our own immediate thoughts because we have had no discussions.
"We are both fairly new to each other and then we can get down to more detailed discussions where Steven might want to bring other representatives with him.
"I will see what he says when I sit down with him for a brief chat.
"But the aim of this is simply to keep Steven Thompson at Tannadice."
Thompson recently broke into the Scotland set-up and scored in the recent 3-1 win over Canada.

Under the deal, proven player favorites such as Bonanza, Danger High Voltage and Dragon Born will be made available to players accessing the operator's bwin Casino, PartyCasino, CasinoClub and Foxy Casino sites.
BTG has built a formidable reputation for developing top-quality slots that boast intelligent maths, state-of-the-art mechanics and innovative features.
This includes its patented Megaways and Extending Reels, which made its debut in the supplier's latest release, White Rabbit.
BTG develops a small number of games per year, focusing on quality over quantity and ensuring they pack a big punch when launched.
The supplier develops its games in a state-of-the-art HTML5 engine, allowing its titles to be launched across any device. It was also the first to develop a 60 frame per second engine for mobile, so the experience is the same in-browser as in a native application.

GARMIO is the name of a new project that brings together Fraunhofer AICOS and industry partner Celfinet, with researchers working on creating a new web-based solution destined to locate and characterize mobile devices users with high accuracy, both indoors and outdoors, without requiring GPS data.
Nowadays, planning and optimizing cell tower locations is a difficult process, attained by cumbersome processes that require driving around cities registering signal variations. In consequence, the data collected only corresponds to locations where vehicles can operate, excluding the inside of buildings, parks, and other large areas.
Since most of our time is generally spent indoors, the perception of mobile telephony signals throughout the interior of large buildings, particularly in locations like underground parking or elevators, is vital to mobile operators. This software will then be able to help mobile operators provide better services for their customers and reduce operational costs.
To answer this market need, AICOS is developing GARMIO, a software library to be integrated in telecommunications operators’ own mobile applications, with the aim of making this process easier. This solution will provide precise georeferentiation for cell signal data acquired from mobile device users in both indoor and outdoor settings, without requiring GPS data. This data will be further characterized by the mobility patterns of the users, as this can have a large impact on signal quality.
Modern smartphones have a multitude of sensors that can be used to estimate user’s location. By leveraging the potential of these sensors, the proposed solution will then be able to register mobile signals with much higher accuracy than current processes, linking coordinates and activities to signal strength indicators.
This technology might also prove to be of use in targeted advertising and indoor navigation systems, therefore broadening the potential applications of the technology being developed.
GARMIO is coordinated by Celfinet, Consultoria em Telecomunicações in cooperation with Fraunhofer AICOS.

Much of the public debate on the role and relevance of the Public Broadcaster in India tends to find be along the twin extremes of either an adversarial role or a propagandist role for the public broadcaster. Lost in the din and the dust of this polarized debate is the arduous task the public broadcaster has set for itself of telling the India Story.
through dedicated channels on YouTube and Soundcloud you can be a part of this story telling from every corner of India in a manner unthinkable a few years back with this list of several hundred twitter handles of Doordarshan and All India Radio from across India.
It is this picture of the role played by the public broadcaster in India that is grossly missing in the lopsided debate we have witnessed in recent weeks. A notable exception was this fine piece in the HT on how All India Radio is striving to preserve the oral traditions of India.

text: PROBLEM: Batteries needlessly clutter the corners of junk drawers everywhere. We know they’re toxic for landfill, but can’t find the time to recycle them, let alone remember which ones are dead. Not anymore. SOLUTION: Thanks to a fresh new company, CHEMIE, recycling batteries is as easy as tossing the them in the mailbox instead of the trash. As you push new batteries out of the bottom of the box, simply slide your old used batteries in through the top. An indicator on top of Chemie batteries will keep the fresh ones and the used ones you put back in separated. You’ll know the pack is out of fresh batteries and ready to be recycled when the indicator is at the bottom of the pack preventing you from dispensing any more batteries. Once your Chemie box is filled with used batteries, just remove the sticker on the back to reveal the prepaid shipping label, and place the whole shebang in your mailbox. Now it’s the mailman’s problem! Oh and by the way, Chemie leaves an extra slot in every package, so when you buy 8, you’ll be able to recycle 9 just by putting the used box in the mail. It’s that simple. Bring a little chemistry back to your junk drawer, and use CHEMIE.

Running a website can be costly, regarding both time and money. That’s why it pays to use every avenue available to make the process easier. We have some simple ways to help keep costs down and make sure that running a website does take over your life (unless you want it to).
If you’re just beginning your website, then you are going to need a logo. What’s great is that you can have one done for as little as $5. If you take a look at fiverr.com, you will see many professional designers offering their services.
It’s recommended that you select around three different designers whose work you like. Send them all the same brief, and you can then choose the design that you like the most. This could costs you as little as $15. However, designers often offer upgrades and other deals that may cost more. If you want your logo’s source file (so that you can edit it yourself), then you will likely have to pay a bit more. Regardless, you will still be getting a bargain.
Outsourcing work can help save you a lot of time, and it can also be very cost effective. If you need site upgrades, blog articles, videos, or anything else, you will find that there are freelancers to meet your needs. The major platforms to hire from include Upwork.com and Freelancer.com.
Imagine you need an article written on a topic that you know nothing about. You could struggle away for hours doing research and trying to write it yourself. However, you need to consider what your time’s worth. It may be more worthwhile to pay someone who knows the topic to write it for you.
If you’re trying to pump out a new post every day, then you may be overdoing it. To save time while not focus on quality over quantity. One high-quality post each week is better than seven sub-par posts.
You don’t want to be bogged down dealing with emails. Make sure you have strong spam filters on your account to get rid of the junk. You may also want to consider using Hostgator Webmail because of its effectiveness.
If you want to make major modifications to your site and are considering learning HTML and PHP, then you may want to consider the time commitment. You may have to spend many hours to develop basic knowledge. It’s important to consider how much your time is really worth. You might find that it’s much more cost-effective and time-effective to hire someone to do the work for you.
Hopefully, your website starts to (or continues to) be successful. Just remember, you want to make it as efficient as possible. Streaming processes, outsourcing work, and even taking some nifty shortcuts will allow you to maximize results while minimizing your time and financial commitment.
