Copyright ©2002 by the American COVER Take time to reflect on the past and cherish timeless memories this holiday season. Happy Holidays from everyone at AWl! President's Message Jack Kurdzionak, CW The holiday season is here and as we do our best to enjoy the season we are helping others to enjoy the season. As joyful as the season can be, it can also be a bit stressful for all who are involved with holiday retailing. We can sometimes be stretched to our physical and emotional limits while we do our best to serve our customers at this most busy of shopping seasons. As busy as you may be, please don't forget to take some time for yourself, your family and your friends to celebrate the season with them before it is over and it will be over before you realize it. Holidays are for everyone to enjoy and celebrate. I do understand how busy you will be, but do stop, relax, and take care of yourself while taking care of your business. Also, don't forget those who might be forgotten during this busy time. Is there someone who needs a visit or a phone call? Take a few hours and make the visit or the phone call to someone who needs companionship more than another holiday card. A visit or a phone call is a gift that will be long remembered and cannot be discarded after the holiday. Are there people in your community needing a gift of a food basket or a donation to help them celebrate the holidays? Don't forget them either. The holiday season is for all who wish to celebrate, not just those of us fortunate to have the health and wealth to do so. On behalf of all of us here at AWI, your officers, directors, and staff, we wish you a joyous holiday season and please, share it with all of your family, friends, and community. Executive Director's Message James E. Lubic, CMW Happy Holidays to all and a successful and Happy New Year too! This month I would like to share what I think is valuable information with the members who don't subscribe to the AWI yahoo group "AWI Matters" . The topic is how to protect yourself against the liability of calling a diamond a diamond and then finding out later that it's not. For the watch service industry this could be one of many luxury watch brands that counterfeiters have had a heyday with for years, and have caused all kinds of headaches for the manufacturers and AWl members who service these products. Following is a message that AWI member Leon Sanger posted on "AWI Matters". Following his post is a sample of what Mr. Sanger did to protect himself against the infamous "it looks like one, but it isn't" problem. With the ever increasing number of harder to identify counterfeit high-grade SANGER WATCH AND JEWELRY, LlC watches in circulation, it is putting an ever increasing liability on the shop owners and 3457-1 South C•m,MII Av.nu• SpriiiQtltld, 111 1 1.<040~ ga~ watchmaker.

    Bridge Bidding - Standard American Yellow Card Nicolae Sfetcu Published by Nicolae Sfetcu Second Edition Copyright 2014 Nicolae Sfetcu PREVIEW Contract Bridge Game type: trick-taking game Players: 4 Skills required: Memory, tactics, probability, communication Cards: 52 Deck: French Play: Clockwise Card rank: (highest to lowest) A K Q J 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 Playing time: WBF tournament games = 7.5 minutes per deal Random chance: Low to moderate depending on variant played Related games: Whist, Auction bridge Contract bridge, usually known simply as bridge, is a trick-taking card game using a standard deck of 52 playing cards played by four players in two competing partnerships with partners sitting opposite each other around a small table. For purposes of scoring and reference, each player is identified by one of the points of the compass and thus North and South play against East and West. The game consists of several deals each progressing through four phases: dealing the cards, the auction (also referred to as bidding), playing the hand, and scoring the results. Dealing the cards and scoring the results are procedural activities while the auction and playing the hand are the two actively competitive phases of the game. Dealing: Partnerships are self-determined or by a cut of the cards, the two highest cut playing against the two lowest; the first dealer is the player cutting the highest card. Cards are dealt clockwise, one at a time and face down starting on the dealer's left so that each player receives thirteen cards. In duplicate bridge the dealer is predetermined by the board; the board also contains the four hands which have been dealt and placed in the board prior to commencement of the game.

  • Congratulations to Antonio Sementa of Italy, Benédicte Cronier of France
    Congratulations to Antonio Sementa of Italy, Benédicte Cronier of France, and Miltos Karamanlis of Greece who are, respectively, the new Generali Masters champions in the WBF events for Men, Women and Juniors. It must have been highly popular with the local supporters in Athens that the winner of the first Junior event was Greek. There is a report inside but the stories of good play in the Daily Bulletin were almost non-existent. More came from a two-session Pairs event in the Poland Seniors Congress than from ten sessions of a gathering of the world’s best players. One might use the excuse of unfamiliar system or partnerships to explain the many reports of mishaps in bidding and defence, but what about declarer play? Most journalists prefer to report good play, rather than the all-too-common mistakes. If so, they will have difficulty finding stories to use when referring to the championships. * * * * * * * * * * The top players have had a busy time recently, dashing from the US Nationals or EBL Mixed in Italy to the Cap Gemini in the Netherlands, a short break, and then a run of the Generali in Athens, the Politiken in Denmark and the Niklas Data in Stockholm (report next month on the latter). They will be grateful to have some time at home. What happens in reality, of course, is that they pick and choose which is convenient to play in. For the journalists this has the advantage of a variety of fields, but it is a struggle for the organisers who seek the strongest list of names.
