  • Introducion to Duplicate
    INTRODUCTION to DUPLICATE INTRODUCTION TO DUPLICATE BRIDGE This book is not about how to bid, declare or defend a hand of bridge. It assumes you know how to do that or are learning how to do those things elsewhere. It is your guide to playing Duplicate Bridge, which is how organized, competitive bridge is played all over the World. It explains all the Laws of Duplicate and the process of entering into Club games or Tournaments, the Convention Card, the protocols and rules of player conduct; the paraphernalia and terminology of duplicate. In short, it’s about the context in which duplicate bridge is played. To become an accomplished duplicate player, you will need to know everything in this book. But you can start playing duplicate immediately after you read Chapter I and skim through the other Chapters. © ACBL Unit 533, Palm Springs, Ca © ACBL Unit 533, 2018 Pg 1 INTRODUCTION to DUPLICATE This book belongs to Phone Email I joined the ACBL on ____/____ /____ by going to www.ACBL.com and signing up. My ACBL number is __________________ © ACBL Unit 533, 2018 Pg 2 INTRODUCTION to DUPLICATE Not a word of this book is about how to bid, play or defend a bridge hand. It assumes you have some bridge skills and an interest in enlarging your bridge experience by joining the world of organized bridge competition. It’s called Duplicate Bridge. It’s the difference between a casual Saturday morning round of golf or set of tennis and playing in your Club or State championships. As in golf or tennis, your skills will be tested in competition with others more or less skilled than you; this book is about the settings in which duplicate happens.

One important thing to keep in mind is that this is a competitive adventure.....as opposed to the social outing that you may be used to at your rubber bridge games. Now that is not to say that you can=t be sociable at the duplicate table. Of course you can.....and should.....just don=t carry it to extreme by talking during the auction or play.

  • Many Loves Ofdobie Gillis, Hawaiian Eye, 77 Sunset Strip, Wagon Train, Ben Casey, My Mother the Car, and Perry Mason
    BARBARA BAIN Born in Chicago on September 13th, Barbara Bain graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology before relocating to New York City. Once there, Bain found gainful employment as a high fashion model and explored her life-long love of dance by studying with Martha Graham, master of American modern dance. Further exploring her interest in the arts, Bain began her acting training in the private class of the most famous and respected of all acting teachers, Lee Strasberg. After a successful audition, she accepted an invitation to become a member of his legendary The Actors Studio. Bain toured with the road company of Paddy Chayefsky's Middle of the Night, a tour which landed her in Los Angeles, and not long thereafter Bain found work on some of the most popular television shows of the day. She appeared opposite Larry Hagman in United Artists' Harbormaster and with Darrin McGavin in the popular Mike Hammer series. Perhaps her first real big break came, however, when she was cast in the recurring role of Karen Wells, love interest of David Janssen, in the seminal private-eye series, Richard Diamond, Private Detective. Bain continued to work steadily, appearing in numerous television series: Tightrope, The Law and Mr. Jones, Straightaway and Adventures in Paradise. She also had the opportunity to flex her comedy skills in one of the most memorable episodes of the classic The Dick Van Dyke Show, created by Carl Reiner. In the episode "Will You Two Be My Wife," Bain turned in a hilarious performance as "Dorie-doo," a blonde bombshell with whom Van Dyke must break-up in order to marry the ever-perky Mary Tyler Moore.

  • Issue 7: Bridgehands Newsletter the Street Smart Bridge Player August-September 2006
    Issue 7: BridgeHands Newsletter The Street Smart Bridge Player August-September 2006 Dear Bridge Friends, How aware are you of what’s really going on at the Bridge table? Do you consider yourself “street smart?” There is a saying that goes, “There are three types of people – those that are the movers and shakers that make things happen, those that are close to the action that help things happen and learn as they go, and finally those that are entirely clueless about what happened at all !” How about you? Hopefully history teaches us lessons at the table and in life. This issue will begin exploring the attributes of the street smart Bridge player. The results from the Chicago Summer 2006 NABC tourney are in, and BridgeHands has posted the tourney results, bulletins, and appeals. As always, most of the appeals deal with hesitations, changes in tempo, and unauthorized information. The remaining Laws rulings often provide interesting insights into the minds of the director and the appeals committee. How close is close when it comes to a played card from declarer’s hand? How about when it’s a change of call in the dummy from “ruff” to “overruff?” And what about when a Grand Life Master faces her 6 remaining cards, begins to describe the claim, retracts the faced cards and wants to continue play? Sometimes the interpretation of the Laws can work in strange and wondrous ways! BridgeHandshas joined the “Web 2.0” crowd, adding multimedia audio and an interactive blog (that’s short for a weblog) to our site.

The Chicago Defender named the University of Illinois to its 1951 Honor Roll in part because of the selection of Davis Presnell as Homecoming queen.

  • Lincos: Design of a Language for Cosmic Intercourse
    LINCOS DESIGN OF A LANGUAGE FOR COSMIC INTERCOURSE PART I Dr. HANS FREUDENTHAL Profemor of Mathematics University of Utrecht 1960 NORTH -HOLLAND PUB LI SHING COMPANY AMSTERDAM INTRODUCTION 0 01. Scientists, artists and artisans tend to develop a terminology of their own. They use common language as a vernacular that will be enriched, impoverished. and modified in order to serve special purposes. The trans- formation may affect not only the vocabulary but also the syntax of the vernacular, though essential syntactical modifications are rather unusual. It is certain, though far from generally admitted, that the meaning of a linguistic term should be determined by its contexts, it is a matter of fact that there cannot be any reasonably uniform opinion about the meaning of a word, if people cannot agree about the truth of the majority of contexts in which the word occurs. It is a common historical feature of many sciences, that their first representatives tried to create a terminology before the stock of known facts was large enough to provide a sufficiently large context for the elements of that terminology. Even now this is a serious drawback for philosophy and the arts. When people do not under- stand each other, this is usually said to be because ‘they speak different languages’. This may be correct as long as “understanding” means a mere linguistic phenomenon. If understanding means intelligence, one may posit the inverse thesis with at least as much justification: People speak different languages because they do not understand each other. (Note that the word language has here a rather unusual meaning.) As long as there is no reasonable agreement about facts and terminology among those who work in a given field, it seems wise to stick as closely as possible to the vernacular, and not to create any new term until it has become possible to define it in a satisfactory way by a sufficiently rich context.
