4/2/2023 0 Comments Card shark vs card sharpWhile Vernon and Ross were jawing with a gambler in a Wichita jail, Allen Kennedy was 200 miles to the northeast in the small farming town of Pleasant Hill, Missouri, preparing for another night of card playing. The Mexican gave the same answer over and over: “perfect.” Vernon, Ross reported to a friend, “got wildly excited.” Vernon pressed him now: How was the deal? Did it look natural? he asked repeatedly. While reporting on the local gambling scene, the Mexican told the magicians that he had seen a man in Kansas City who could actually deal cards flawlessly out of the center of the deck. ![]() But it was when the men began to talk shop that Vernon became riveted. ![]() The Mexican made a thoroughly professional showing, running through several slick moves and false deals. So Vernon knew what to watch for when he and Ross sat down over a deck with the jailed gambler, and he was not disappointed. Magicians had always coveted the secrets of card cheats, but nobody had worked as hard as Vernon, who had spent 20 years diligently seeking out these guarded men. If The Expert was his core curriculum, then his postdoctoral work consisted of tracking down mechanics. Magicians could learn a lot about naturalness and misdirection, Vernon believed, from cardsharps. Not only did he master the techniques detailed in the book, including the difficult and dangerous second and bottom deals, but he actually memorized it and spread its gospel. The book’s impact on Vernon was fundamental, and it became his lifelong fountainhead. Erdnase, which was widely considered an anagram Erdnase’s real name has never been conclusively identified. As a boy in Canada, he had absorbed an amazing book titled The Expert at the Card Table, a disarmingly literary illustrated manual of card-cheating methods by someone calling himself S. Running after “mechanics,”as card cheats were called, was nothing new for Vernon. Still, he was more than ready for some distraction when Ross hurried into the store on that dreary afternoon to say he had arranged for them to go that night to the nearby Sedgwick County Jail to see a Mexican gambler (who was being held after a shooting) demonstrate his card-cheating moves. ![]() With the coming of the Depression, though, those lucrative shows vanished like one of his playing cards, and now Vernon was happy to have the Innes job. By the late 1920s, the dapper Vernon, who went by the title of the New York Card Expert (the understatement was typical of the man), was in such demand at society parties that he sometimes commanded $300 per performance. He preferred to turn his “card problems,” as he called them, right under the noses of his audience, and he took a particular pleasure in duping the masters of the art. Indeed, Vernon (his first name, pronounced “Day,” was a shortening of Dave) had spent much of the previous decade impressing the Manhattan smart set with his elegantly baffling style of conjuring. “He’s nuts … on the gambling stuff, and you’d be amazed how much he knows and can do in this line,” Ross reported to a mutual friend. His consuming passion-his obsession-was magic, especially card magic built on the techniques of professional cardsharps. His only antidote to the clamor was to assert a harsh artistic prerogative: If he didn’t like the looks of a customer, he would refuse to cut that person’s silhouette.īut the silhouettes meant nothing to him. Soon he was swamped with customers, and crowds waited for him to arrive in the morning. By 1932 he was a distinctive and sought-after stylist, and the store agreed to his condition that he start work late, at 11 in the morning, and knock off by 5:30. Vernon had been practicing the delicate, fading art of silhouette cutting since his teens, and whenever money was a problem-which was often-he relied on his scissors to pay the bills. Then, finally, Vernon knuckled down and went to work.Īlthough he was best known for magic, the Innes job was no fluke. One of their sessions ran from 3 in the afternoon until 11 the next morning. Ross had helped the Vernons get settled, and the two men did nothing for several days but practice and talk magic. The 37-year-old Vernon had come to Kansas with his wife, Jeanne, and their young son, Ted, for the new year, lured by invitations from his friend and fellow magician Faucett Ross and the promise of work cutting silhouette portraits of customers at the store. ![]() One rainy afternoon in January 1932, Dai Vernon, the greatest sleight-of-hand artist in the world, sat in the Innes Department Store in Wichita, Kansas, bored out of his mind.

This makes it a great tool for WordPress developers who are looking to create websites that allow users to easily share large files without having to worry about slow loading times or bandwidth limitations. It is especially useful for streaming large files or sharing files between computers without having to upload them to a server. Both configurations gave amazing results and helped me get a picture of what the concept is all aboutĭefinitely looking forward to more from WebTorrent and WebRTC.WebTorrent is an open-source, peer-to-peer protocol for streaming audio, video, and other data over the web.Stream between BitTorrent client and WebTorrent-Desktop clients.Streaming between two WebTorrent-Desktop clients.I initially tried the following configurations,.PC and Laptop running a GNU/Linux distro with WebTorrent-Desktop installed.TP-Link WR841N router flashed with OpenWrt 15.05.1 and opentracker installed which is the torrent tracker.I used the follow the setup to test WebTorrent, ![]() Getting Started with WebTorrentsĬheckout the official blog to get started with WebTorrent here. So, the existing BitTorrent client software could make a change to accommodate WebTorrent clients tooĬheckout the FAQ‘s of WebTorrent.Apart from the above point, WebTorrent works the same as BitTorrent does.WebTorrent is much more similar to BitTorrent and differs only in the way peers connect and data transport.Any WebRTC compliant browser with WebTorrent client would be enough (there is beta version of WebTorrent Desktop client software available here) You do not need any special software or plugin to use it.WebTorrent is built on top of WebRTC implementation that is aimed at having a true open and free p2p platform for applications like video/voice calling and file sharing.How WebTorrent is different from BitTorrent? The highlight of this protocol is that everything is built into the browser and you don’t need any specific plugins or softwares to be installed to use it.Ĭheckout the FAQ‘s of WebRTC. WebRTC is a Real Time Communication (RTC) by the W3C, which aims at enabling voice, video and p2p applications between browsers through simple API’s. It brings about the feeling of a community where people give and take what they need.When there are more people sharing it the bandwidth is increased, because every new peer need not ask the same person for the file.Ease the bandwidth of the server and use it for other purpose.No need to wait for the entire file to download, you can pause/resume whenever you like.Once, the client software has all the pieces it reassembles them like a jigsaw puzzle to produce the original file.Once the tracker gives the information, the client then directly contacts that peer and asks for piece(s) of the file.The client reads the metadata from the torrent and contacts the trackers (computers that have details about what files are being shared and the peers that share them) to find out which peers (seeders) have the file you are downloading.You open it with your favorite torrent client program like Transmission, Deluge, uTorrent, Vuze, etc.,.You download the torrent file or magnet uri from the website.The uploader can stop seeding after the complete file with at least one other peer.Cryptographic hash of the torrent file and those individual pieces.The torrent uploader creates the torrent file with the some metadata like, To understand how this happens, lets take the example of downloading an ISO file of any GNU/Linux distribution and see what happens, Torrent creation As opposed to downloading files from a FTP server which sends out the same copy to everyone, we share it with each other. But, it is much more than that and its one of the best protocols out there.īitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol, were we share files to & from people (peers) around the world in a decentralized way. When we hear the word torrent we think of download movies, music, documents and games illegally. First, lets see what torrents are in general and how we use them currently. What? Did you just say to the browser? Yes, that’s right. WebTorrent is a torrent client written in Javascript and build on top of WebRTC protocol which brings torrents to the browser. This is not a tutorial and I will point to the standard one. This is my experience from using WebTorrents platform to share media and files across. 4/1/2023 0 Comments Tembo hotel![]() The first accommodation was a bit rudimentary (but clean) however, the tour quickly exceeded our expectations bringing us to top accommodations in beautiful lodges culminating to 5 stars resorts in Zanzibar and the Hyatt Regency in Daar Es Salam. We witnessed varied aspects of wide life from mating, to zebras’ dust baths, and lioness hunting and sharing their kill. We were lucky to see all Big 5, rare animals such as Caracal. The guides were phenomenal, knowledgeable and friendly. My BEST MBA TRIP, hands down, weaving culture, adventure, outdoors, and dinner parties. Kearsley put together a phenomenal tour for our group of friends from my MBA class at Columbia. Overall, i would travel with Kearsleys again and suggest to family for a safe and beautifully planned immersion into Tanzania's land. Only constructive feedback - we wish we would have covered more of the Serengeti in those 3 days we were there. Highlights: 1) The village experience near Chemka village 2) The Surprise Hot Springs visit (wow!) 3) Our 3 day stay in the tented camp, where we were able to see over 20,000 Wildebeast during an early/lucky migration time that we coincided with and so much more! Really happy with our experience. Thank you Kearsleys for all the beautiful logistics planning! Which led us to some very powerful nature and village experiences. Loved the location selections of each hotel, lodge and tent camp we were at. ![]() The main attraction of spending time in nature was beyond expectation. ![]() Our entire trip felt grounded, safe and full of warmth with him along our side and taking us to each location, caring for our minute details, whether it be lunch, or entry registration to each park, shopping stops, etc. Our Kearsley driver, Kessey, was a really special soul to spend our days with. Picking us up at the airport, all the way through dropping us back off 7 days later. Kearsleys, helped stay in touch with us through our entire planning process and was there all the way to the end. My brother and I had an amazing, safe, and really fun experience with a tour through a village, the Serengeti and Ngorogoro Parks. 4/1/2023 0 Comments Pinball arcade game![]() ![]() The best of these are Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure (not available in The Pinball Arcade) and Twilight Zone, but Star Trek is no slouch. Star Trek: The Next Generation ST: TNG is from the early 90s Williams line of “widebody” machines with a wider playfield. Best feature: The crate! There’s an interactive crate you can hit a bunch and then break into for a multiball. The objectives are all pretty simple to understand. for a release later this year! Like Monster Bash, newer players can easily learn Scared Stiff. Scared Stiff This is the second of three Elvira-themed pinball machines - the third one was announced by Stern Pinball Inc. Best feature: The greatest theme in pinball, ever - Monsters playing rock and roll. Ramps for The Bride, Loops for the Werewolf, a bash toy for Frankenstein… It’s easy to learn, and actually pretty easy to master. The rules are simple: Hit shots to light each member of the Universal Monsters band. This makes it a great starting machine for pinball players. Monster Bash Monster Bash is another favorite machine, but with perhaps an easier-to-learn ruleset compared to its contemporaries like Medeival Madness and Attack from Mars. Best feature: Shoot the bad guys that pop out of the playfield to start Showdown multiball. Due to an extremely limited run of games, you’ll rarely encounter one in the wild (and it’s super pricey, fetching well north of $10K), so this is a rare chance to really learn this deep, awesome game. Cactus Canyon Cactus Canyon has all of the great features of Attack from Mars and Medieval Madness - with a mediocre art package and theme. Best feature: Pinball players refer to “flow,” or the nature of ramps, loops and other things that return the ball to the flipper gracefully, and quickly. These are the Ocarina of Time and Half-Life 2 of pinball. Attack from Mars and Medieval Madness are so great that they were the subject of full-on remakes in the past few years. Here’s what I recommend you pick up before they're gone on June 30: Attack from Mars and Medieval Madness These two games from the late 90s represent peak Bally/Williams design - and they are pretty similar: They share a central bash toy, a satisfying fan pattern of ramps and loops, and deep, complex rulesets. You can purchase whole seasons (Season 1 is highly recommended, lots of hits.) or packs of two games to get just what you want. Here are some of the machines you should definitely pick up before they are gone. DMD (1991-Present)īut there are plenty of great games from the Solid State era you should also grab. The leftmost column generally will have the most value for players, as games from the DMD era, so-called for the orange dot-matrix displays capable of displaying video-game-like graphics, feature the most complex rules and playfield layouts. The prices have been around 5$ for each table, with discounted packs decreasing a table’s price down to around 2$.First of all, here are the games leaving The Pinball Arcade. Pinball Arcade offers a content-limited free-to-play game, where only one table is free, Tales of Arabian Knights, which is one of the best, and the rest of them are available on purchase. Bot™, Creature from the Black Lagoon™, No Good Gofers™, Big Shot™, Taxi™, Harley-Davidson® 3rd Edition, Black Knight™, Cactus Canyon™, White Water™, Space Shuttle®, Centaur™, Flight 2000™, Goin’ Nuts™, Terminator 2: Judgment Day®, and other great tables are also available from within this great game.Twilight Zone™, Star Trek: The Next Generation™, Theatre of Magic™ (named the best video pinball simulation of all time by G4TV), Scared Stiff™, Elvira and the Party Monsters™, Monster Bash™, Gorgar™, Circus Voltaire™, Funhouse™, Medieval Madness™, Pin Here is a lit of available tables, although only one of them is free, namely Tales of Arabian Knights. Pinball Arcade can also be praised for its realistic and fun gameplay, delighting all pinball fans. Every flipper, bumper, sound effect, and display pixel has been painstakingly emulated in astonishing detail. Pinball Arcade by FarSight Studios features exact recreations of the all-time greatest pinball tables from Williams®, Bally®, Stern Pinball®, and Gottlieb® together in one game. 4/1/2023 0 Comments Abandoned synonym![]() In hindsight I regret pursuing, transactions where a central premise was a planned increase in the prices of the medicines, we should have abandoned the transaction with Marathon when it became clear that the expected arrival of generic competition made the economics of the deal dependent on significant price increases. An airline should be required to put you on another carrier for the price you paid, says Hobica. ![]() Some, such as Allegiant Air and Frontier, have also abandoned routes that are no longer profitable. ![]() Consolidation within the industry has prompted some airlines to cut back on the number of available flights. And you won’t even get an explanation the government doesn’t want you to blab that there’s an air marshal on board. If one of them shows up and needs your seat, you can be bumped, reassigned to another seat, or put on the next available flight. Because air marshals protect the public, they are sometimes seated in first class without prior warning. In such a case, your flight could be switched from a non-stop to a connecting flight. The airline priced tickets for this flight too low.If a carrier realizes through its electronic reservation system that a non-stop flight fills too fast, that could indicate the ticket fares are too cheap. Here are key reasons why an airline can bump you or otherwise make travel difficult for you: 1. The lengthy terms are filled with jargon and legalese, though they’re still worth eyeballing to understand the basics. Most of your rights and company policies-including when you are entitled to compensation for your inconvenience- are spelled out in the conditions of carriage which can be found on an airline’s website. Devoted is used chiefly in the good sense as, a mother's devoted affection.Īccustomed, addicted, attached, devoted, disposed, given, given over, given up, habituated, inclined, prone, weddedĪverse, disinclined, indisposed, unaccustomedĪbandoned babies happened frequently before, and the situation was far more complicated several years ago the one-child-policy, the gender issue and poor living conditions in China, today, serious health problems would be the main reason children are being abandoned by parents.Īirline staff have been given a lot more power and have become policemen in the skies since 9-11, i think many are abusing that authority. Addicted may be used in a good, but more frequently a bad sense as, addicted to study addicted to drink. Abandoned tells of the acquired viciousness of one who has given himself up to wickedness. Prone is used only in a bad sense, and generally of natural tendencies as, our hearts are prone to evil. One is wedded to that which has become a second nature as, one is wedded to science or to art. One inclined to luxury may become habituated to poverty. A man may be accustomed to labor, attached to his profession, devoted to his religion, given to study or to gluttony (in the bad sense, given over, or given up, is a stronger and more hopeless expression, as is abandoned). One is addicted to that which he has allowed to gain a strong, habitual, and enduring hold upon action, inclination, or involuntary tendency, as to a habit or indulgence.

I can say in all honesty that if you cringe at the idea of building your own hardware firewall, Untangle might be an option for you. All you’ll need is Linux tools along with the Chromium browser. I’ve dabbled with Untangle in the past and despite some issues I’ve had, it does provide some fairly straightforward functionality. The first option is based on Debian Linux and is by far the easiest. All of the firewalls are easily downloadable without any annoying sign-up pages (I’m looking at you, Sophos). Each of these solutions share something that I feel good about sharing with my readers. Some of these are highly advanced while others are incredibly easy to use. In this article, I’m going to share my experience and overall impressions about those three different firewall solutions. Having had experience with three popular firewall operating systems in the past, I found that choosing the “right one” is a matter of perspective. However one decides to do this, the completed act of installing this OS onto the dedicated hardware creates a dedicated hardware firewall.Īnd unlike a software firewall, hardware firewalls serve a single dedicated purpose – to act as a gateway appliance for your network. Others might decide to install their selected firewall operating system onto a rack mount server. Like myself, some people might use an old PC. Surprisingly, deciding on which option was best for my needs was not as easy as I had hoped.īuilding a hardware firewall requires you to decide on the hardware your firewall/router computer operating system will be installed on. Over the years I’ve bought some less than impressive consumer routers, so these days I run my own self-built hardware firewall appliance. 4/1/2023 0 Comments Klv apple xsanIn this example we want to end up with a 2 drive, RAID 1 (mirror) LUN for metadata, a second 2 drive, RAID 1 LUN for the journal, and then two RAID 5 data LUNs.
