Word Buff's Ultimate Scrabble Cheat It's Totally Unfair! This is a free ebooklet for Word Buff subscribers. I'm always adding freebies to the members area, so make sure you check in from time to time. (Join here) Inside you'll find a list of every single two-to-five letter word allowed in English Scrabble. If you're going to cheat, this is the list you need to peek at ;-) Why? Because even though long words are more exciting to play (especially the plays that garner 50 bonus points!), the short words give you far greater bang for your buck. You will use them in almost every move of every game. Plus, there are nowhere near as many to learn as there are seven to nine letter words. So you get ten times the value for one tenth of the work. And that's the definition of 'bang for your buck'! Now, I know you're in a hurry to get into the words, but just a couple of pointers... You'll notice that the words do not all appear in the same format. I know it's annoying, but the thing is there are two official Scrabble dictionaries in use around the world and although they have a lot of words in common, there are quite a few differences too. If you want to know more about the different Scrabble lexicons I suggest you have a quick read of one of my old Word Buff newsletters here. But for now, all you really need to know is this... • Words that are bold are allowed in North American Scrabble. That is, they are all listed in the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, which is Hasbro's official tome. The good news is that these words are also allowed in International (World English) Scrabble, so if you switch to the international scene you won't have to unlearn any of them. • Words that are non-bold are only allowed in International Scrabble. Some of the unbolded words are also italicized. These words are only valid in International Scrabble from 1 January 2012 (when Collins new Scrabble dictionary takes effect). Until that date, you can't play them in either lexicon. After that date, you can play them in International Scrabble, but not in North American play. Confused? Here are a few examples from the first page of words. AALII (bold) can be played anywhere, anytime. ADUKI (non-bold, non-italic) can only be played in International Scrabble. AIDA (non-bold, italic) can only be played in International Scrabble, and only from 1 January 2012. I'm sorry if I lost you there, but hey, it really ain't my fault ;-) And finally, what on earth do all these crazy words actually mean? Well, for that you'll need more than a cheat sheet – you'll need to get yourself a proper Scrabble dictionary! Well, I promised myself I'd keep my chatter to no more than one page for this book, and I'm just about there. So it's time to start studying … or cheating … however you prefer to think of it! Knock yourself out ;-) Derek Mckenzie, aka Word Buff P.S. Not sure how to memorize crazy long lists?

    Twinned Jewellery Box Got 4Cm-Thick Boards and After Four Years of Air Drying I Started Working Them

    PROJECTS & TECHNIQUES Secret mitre dovetails Using local wood For this box I used timber from an old dead oak that was cut down about four or five years ago. I took it to the saw mill and Twinned jewellery box got 4cm-thick boards and after four years of air drying I started working them. The first time I hand planed them I noticed that it Israel Martin makes a jewellery box using was much easier than other oaks I’ve used. I’m not aware of any studies comparing air-dried wood vs kiln-dried wood, but after secret mitre dovetails and maple edge inlays years of testing both, I find air-dried wood to be more hand tool friendly than kiln-dried wood. The oak tree that supplied the timber Ready for the saw mill Some of the boards after air drying Getting continuous grain boards Start with the wood selection and prepare the boards to get four continuous grain pieces. There is a simple way to get a nice, continuous grain pattern, as shown here: divide the board in two by sawing it in half, then cut the two boards in two parts again. PHOTOGRAPHS LENNON JAN BY hen I’m fortunate to get hold of a piece of timber with strong A single board split down the middle Bookmatching the piece Wcharacterful grain for a project like this, my first reaction is to use mitres at the corners to allow the grain to run unbroken around the box. This project was no different but I decided to incorporate some secret mitre dovetails as well.

Ballistic testing was conducted to estimate the velocity at which 50% of 12-bore lead spherical projectiles (V50) would be expected to perforate this clothing system when mounted on gelatine (a tissue simulant used in wound ballistic studies). An estimated six-shot V50 for the clothing system was calculated as 102 m/s. The distance at which the projectile would have decelerated from the muzzle of the weapon to this velocity in free flight was triple the recognised effective range of weapons of the era suggesting that the clothing system would provide limited protection for the wearer. The estimated V50 was also compared with recorded bounce-and-roll data; this suggested that the clothing system could provide some protection to the wearer from ricochets. Finally, potential wounding behind the clothing system was investigated; the results compared favourably with seventeenth century medical writings. Keywords Leather . Linen . Wool .

Risk dominance strategy is a complementary part of game theory decision strategy besides payoff dominance. It is widely used in decision of economic behavior and other game conditions with risk characters. In research of imperfect information games, the rationality of risk dominance strategy has been proved while it is also wildly adopted by human players. In this paper, a decision model guided by risk dominance is introduced. The novel model provides poker agents of rational strategies which is relative but not equals simply decision of “bluffing or no". Neural networks and specified probability tables are applied to improve its performance. In our experiments, agent with the novel model shows an improved performance when playing against our former version of poker agent named HITSZ CS 13 which participated Annual Computer Poker Competition of 2013.
  • Poetry and Poems

    Poetry and Poems

    Poetry Kaleidoscope Nicolae Sfetcu Published by Nicolae Sfetcu Second Edition Copyright 2014 Nicolae Sfetcu BOOK PREVIEW 1 Poetry Poetry (ancient Greek: ποιεω (poieo) = I create) is traditionally a written art form (although there is also an ancient and modern poetry which relies mainly upon oral or pictorial representations) in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. The increased emphasis on the aesthetics of language and the deliberate use of features such as repetition, meter and rhyme, are what are commonly used to distinguish poetry from prose, but debates over such distinctions still persist, while the issue is confounded by such forms as prose poetry and poetic prose. Some modernists (such as the Surrealists) approach this problem of definition by defining poetry not as a literary genre within a set of genres, but as the very manifestation of human imagination, the substance which all creative acts derive from. Poetry often uses condensed form to convey an emotion or idea to the reader or listener, as well as using devices such as assonance, alliteration and repetition to achieve musical or incantatory effects. Furthermore, poems often make heavy use of imagery, word association, and musical qualities. Because of its reliance on "accidental" features of language and connotational meaning, poetry is notoriously difficult to translate. Similarly, poetry's use of nuance and symbolism can make it difficult to interpret a poem or can leave a poem open to multiple interpretations. It is difficult to define poetry definitively, especially when one considers that poetry encompasses forms as different as epic narratives and haiku.
