As you may know the magazine’s staff consists of your illustrious edi- tor, responsible for the words, and myself who is responsible for all the technical stuff. This includes laying out the magazine and maintaining the website along with the database of subscribers. In all these areas, as in most areas of my life, I am self-taught. You are also probably aware that last month there was a delay in the magazine as a result of a catastrophic technical glitch in the layout office. In the cold light of dawn I discovered it was almost certainly due to the aged and failing laptop I use when remote from my office. Thus Mr Dell was approached who delivered a new state-of-the-art portable PC in return for a handsome shed-load of sterling. You may think all problems and anxieties were resolved, but, like most of my decisions about finessing, WRONG. I use the Adobe Cloud Suite for all the work for the magazine. This includes ‘Muse’ for maintaining the website. I was vaguely aware that Muse was not a long term member of the Adobe family but imagine my chagrin when I came to install the Cloud Suite on the new equipment when I found out that Muse was no longer available. It transpires that if you have Muse installed then it will continue to function for some time yet but it will not be updated or available as a new download. As my licence only allows two current machines I had already removed all Adobe programs from the aged laptop and thus the new one does not have the same software installed. This means, currently, when I am remote I cannot update the magazine’s website. I had always planned that at some future date to migrate to Dream- weaver (another web maintaining software from Adobe) but it is not something that can be done overnight. It frequently happens (as per this month) that I am travelling at the end of the month and not in my office and thus need to be able to finalise the magazine whilst on the road. What I am hoping is that there is some subscriber out there who has either a suggestion as to a short term fix for this situation and/or can assist in migrating the website. Should you be that miracle worker then please contact me at [email protected].

  • Bridge Glossary
    Bridge Glossary Above the line In rubber bridge points recorded above a horizontal line on the score-pad. These are extra points, beyond those for tricks bid and made, awarded for holding honour cards in trumps, bonuses for scoring game or slam, for winning a rubber, for overtricks on the declaring side and for under-tricks on the defending side, and for fulfilling doubled or redoubled contracts. ACOL/Acol A bidding system commonly played in the UK. Active An approach to defending a hand that emphasizes quickly setting up winners and taking tricks. See Passive Advance cue bid The cue bid of a first round control that occurs before a partnership has agreed on a suit. Advance sacrifice A sacrifice bid made before the opponents have had an opportunity to determine their optimum contract. For example: 1♦ - 1♠ - Dbl - 5♠. Adverse When you are vulnerable and opponents non-vulnerable. Also called "unfavourable vulnerability vulnerability." Agreement An understanding between partners as to the meaning of a particular bid or defensive play. Alert A method of informing the opponents that partner's bid carries a meaning that they might not expect; alerts are regulated by sponsoring organizations such as EBU, and by individual clubs or organisers of events. Any method of alerting may be authorised including saying "Alert", displaying an Alert card from a bidding box or 'knocking' on the table. Announcement An explanatory statement made by the partner of the player who has just made a bid that is based on a partnership understanding. The purpose of an announcement is similar to that of an Alert.
