Unlike many other variants of beer pong, slam pong is a fast-moving game that retains some of the rules of table tennis but borrows inspiration from the rules and game play of volleyball. The name slam pong is derived from beer pong, which is in turn was derived from Ping Pong, a trademarked name for a brand of table tennis merchandise. The "slam" in slam pong refers to the action of slamming a table tennis ball with a paddle into a plastic cup of beer placed on the table, the fundamental way of scoring points in the game.Contents1 History 2 The table 3 Rules and game play 3.1 Serving 3.2 Volleys 3.3 Time outs and delays of game 3.4 Scoring 3.5 Variations 3.6 Leisure 4 Slam pong in American culture 5 References // HistoryBeer Pong with paddles can trace its origin to the mid-1950s, when fraternity houses at Dartmouth College first began to experiment with drinking games that included the placement of a newly-available plastic cup full of beer on a table tennis table during a game. An Alpha Phi Delta fraternity alumnus, David Thielscher, class of 1954, recalled in an interview for The Dartmouth newspaper that beer pong was played when he was an undergraduate. The objective was to try to hit the ball with a paddle into the cups. The sport seems to have been played in a rather informal manner through the latter half of the 1950s and the 1960s and spread to a limited number of other college campuses in the northeastern United States.Beer pong became recognized as an intramural sport at Dartmouth College in the 1970s, with individuals and teams most often representing fraternities and sororities. Rules of the game were standardized, and competitions were held at the fraternity and sorority houses. The game was played in a manner very similar to table tennis, with one beer cup placed on the table for each player. Beer pong at Dartmouth was the only college-sponsored drinking competition in the country, until 1977 when the college decided to discontinue its sponsorship of the games. Official derecognition would not reduce the level of beer pong activity at Dartmouth or elsewhere, but would lead to many new variations on the game.Slam pong was one of the forms of the game that evolved from the traditional beer pong of the late 1970s. Slam pong retained the use of just one beer cup per player, with two players per team, but added the twist that a legal volley required the ball to strike the paddles of both players on a team before striking the table or beer cups. One of the earliest documented record of slam pong comes from Chris Robinson, Dartmouth College class of 1986, who recalled playing slam pong when he was an undergraduate. An article in the March, 1986 issue of Playboy magazine describes slam pong being played by the brothers of Psi Upsilon at Dartmouth. By the early 1990s, slam pong was played in nearly half of all Dartmouth College Greek organizations, and had been introdcued to other colleges including Bowdoin College, Bucknell University, Cornell University, Lehigh University, Princeton University, and Williams College, but by the middle of the decade was beginning to decline in popularity.. By the early 2000s, slam pong had been almost totally eclipsed by other variations of beer pong, especially Beirut, one of the first variations of beer pong to be widely played across the country.The tableA slam pong table resembles a table tennis table, with a few variations. A typical table surface is 3.0 meters long by 1.5 meters wide, and is at a height of roughly 0.75 meters above the floor. The "net" is often a piece of wood approximately 2.5 centimeters in height. It sits on the center line, and is not secured in any way. At each end of the table, there are circles painted on the center of the back line, such that when two plastic cups are placed in them, their rims touch. Some slam pong tables are table tennis tables that have been converted by the removal of the original net and the painting of circles on the table surface for cup placement. Other slam pong tables are built specifically for use in slam pong, and may be built from materials chosen for durability or expense. Tables that best withstand repeated liquid spills on the table surface tend to remain useful for longer.Although beer is the most common beverage used to play slam pong, in some circumstances it might be appropriate to use any fluid, including water. Two plastic cups are placed on each side of the table, one for each player in the game. The cups are placed on or near the back line. Both cups on each side must be touching each other in order for play to commence. The playing surface of the table may not be modified during the course of the game, except to replace the net if it gets knocked over. This particularly forbids...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about Synthetic Turf Grass, street light poles, .

Until recently, Broadweave has focused on deploying its fiber networks in new or greenfield planned communities, but with its recent acquisitions, Broadweave has expanded its fiber-optic footprint.On May 6, 2008, Broadweave announced the acquisition of the iProvo municipally owned fiber-optic network for $40.6 Million. Broadweave's acquisition includes a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network that passes 36,000 homes with over 10,500 homes connected and receiving services that include Telephone, TV, and Broadband Internet at speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s to each home. The network also served over 300 business and enterprise customers at the time of the acquisition.The iProvo municipal network was the largest and most visible municipal fiber-optic network in the US, drawing much attention and scrutiny from local and trade press as the city encountered difficulties turning a profit. Broadweave's acquisition of iProvo marked a historic milestone in the FTTP industry as the first privatization of a municipal FTTP network in the US. The acquisition has also led to speculation about the fate of other municipally owned fiber-optic networks.On August 29, 2008, Broadweave completed the acquisition of the iProvo network and assumed ownership and control of the network. The acquisition took 60 days longer than expected. Upon assuming ownership and control of the network, Broadweave announced that it would immediately begin serving business customers via its newly acquired fiber-optic assets.Broadweave also acquired the subscriber base of the largest provider on the iProvo network, Mstar Metro. Contrary to its plans and its public announcements, Broadweave did not acquire the other service providers then operating on the iProvo network, Nuvont Communications and Veracity Communications. Broadweave did sign a contract with Nuvont and Veracity that allows the providers to continue to deliver services on Broadweave's fiber-optic network for up to 2 years.Broadweave also owns and operates multiple FTTP installations in new or greenfield communities in the west, including a contract with the Utah State Trust Lands Administration for up to 21,000 units in Washington County, Utah. Broadweave's first community, Traverse Mountain, is located in Lehi, Utah.Broadweave also delivers data services, commercial telephony, and hosted Voice over IP (VoIP) communications services to small to mid-size businesses and enterprises. In 2007, Broadweave launched its CenterAct Hosted Telephony Service in full production which gives business users one central portal to interact with the world. The Company currently offers this service to small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) over its own fiber networks, with current expansion under way domestically within the US.Customer Service Broadweave customer service can be reached at 801-691-5800. During normal business hours most calls have a long wait time and customers are repeatedly given the option to leave a voice mail. Response time to these messages ranges from 4-8 hours.

Together with colleagues such as Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner, Mogensen created international respect for Danish furniture design, and his simple and functional designs have for more than half a century enjoyed worldwide demand.Contents1 Early years 2 Time with Klint 3 Furniture Design 4 Late 50s and early 60s 5 References // Early yearsB?rge Mogensen was born in Aalborg, Denmark. He started as a cabinetmaker in 1934, and studied furniture design at the College of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen from 1936-38, and then at the Furniture School of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1938-41. Between 1942 and 1950, he was head of FDB furniture design studio, but left to found his own design studio in 1950. His work has been featured in one-man exhibitions in Zurich, London, New York, Stockholm, Paris and Copenhagen, and his many awards for design include the Eckersberg Medaillen (1950) and the C.F. Hansen medal (1972).Time with KlintDuring his time with Kaare Klint, Mogensen fostered a deep commitment to producing classical, simple and highly functional furniture. He also became interested in researching contemporary lifestyles, in order to develop domestic objects that are customized for specific uses. Continuing Klint's innovative studies in how the size and proportion of objects should influence their design, Mogensen, collaborating with Grethe Meyer, produced a project in 1954 called the Boligens Byggeskabe (Construction Cupboards of the House), which introduced the idea of building shelving and storage units as part of a room, rather than purchasing and placing them in the space. Mogensen did studies to determine the standard measures for common objects, such as cutlery and shirts, and how many of each item the average person owned. With this information he developed a set of figures for the base width and depth of drawers and shelves, and his information tables were published as a manual on building storage systems. Between 1955 and 1967 he worked on the related "?resund" shelving series that took on the mammoth task of solving every storage need that could arise in the modern home.Furniture DesignIn addition to mapping out the terrain of home storage, Mogensen was a prolific furniture designer, exhibiting almost every year at the Copenhagen Cabinetmaker's Guild Exhibitions. He was also the Head of Furniture Design during the 1940s for the Danish Cooperative Wholesale Society. His furniture, strongly representative of his training as a traditional craftsman, was greatly appreciated by a public who had not yet become interested in modernism and the changes its influence had created on furniture and the decorative arts. Mogensen appeased these sceptics with his classical designs, but also, from the beginning of his career, subtly incorporated new ideas into his revisitation of traditional forms. He designed a sofa in 1945 with leather ties which allowed the sides to be dropped down. A 1949 chair, claimed by critics to be "a model for future chairs," used a curved, slightly sloping backrest, cut out along the spine in an organic dewdrop shape. A 1951 interior for the Cabinetmaker's show combined Danish oak with leather upholstery and slate tiling in a way that articulated a new grouping of materials. "This is Where We Live, " a family room set he designed in 1953, dealt with the new concept of a living room that would contain a workbench and a sewing table, encouraging members of the family to take part in several activities simultaneously.The Hunting chair (1950) The Medechair(1956) The Spanish chair (1958) Late 50s and early 60sBy the end of the decade, however, Mogensen had re-embraced a more straightforward functionalism that Klaus Meedom, writing about the Cabinetmaker's exhibit, said was "so strict that he has to violate his own rules to be able to breathe freely." A redesigned "Spanish" chair in 1959 was praised for its elegance and materials. He designed a set of simple, sturdy and modest furniture for a seaside cottage in 1959, a very traditional oak table and chair set in 1960 and a set in pine to furnish a "husband's study" in 1962. Mogensen also collaborated extensively with weaver Lis Ahlmann on textile designs, and, after Klint's death in 1954, succeeded him as designer to the Danish Museum of Decorative Art.References^ View images of his design work "Den Store Danske M?belguide", Hansen and Petersen, 2005, page 230-255, ISBN 87-11-23165-3 Categories: Danish furniture designers 1914 births 1972 deaths(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about marie biscuits, remote control car starter, .

Their injuries were not life-threatening, and both Chen and Lu were released from Chi-Mei Hospital on the same day without losing consciousness or undergoing surgery. Nevertheless, the attack provoked shock and unease in Taiwan, where political violence of this kind is common place against non KMT members. The assassination is suppose to remove Chen and Lu from the election on the next day. Both Chen ad Lu won by 29,500 votes. In August 2005, the case was officially closed with all leads pointing to one single deceased suspect, Chen Yi-hsiung, but Chen's opponents as well as Annette Lu have insisted on continuing the investigation.Contents1 Sequence of events 2 Investigation beginning 3 Investigation conclusion 4 Questions from Pan-Blue and counterclaims 5 External links // Sequence of eventsPresident Chen and Vice President Lu were standing in the back seat of an open convertible Jeep moving slowly through a crowded street. One bullet penetrated the windshield of the American Jeep, ripped through multiple layers of clothing, grazed Chen's stomach and was stopped in his clothes. Chen received a flesh wound 8cm long and 2cm deep (four inches long, an inch wide, and an inch deep). The other bullet penetrated the windshield and hitting the vice president's knee cast (she was wearing a knee cast due to an earlier injury) and was found in the jeep. At first both believed that they had been hit by firecrackers, which are common in Taiwanese political parades and rallies. Chen realized that it was something more serious when he noticed that he was bleeding from the abdomen and that there was a bullet hole in the window.At around 1:45 pm, Chen reported pain in his abdomen, and Lu, in her knee. At 2:00 pm, they were both taken to the Chi-Mei Hospital. At 3:30 pm, the spokesperson for the president, Chiou I-Jen, announced that the "National Security Mechanism" has been activated. At 5:30 pm, both the Pan-Blue and Pan-Green coalitions announced that they would cease all scheduled campaigning activities. At 5:45 pm, the hospital announced that the president had suffered an 11cm long, 2cm wide gash across his abdomen. At 6:00 pm, two shells were found on the campaign route where the apparent assassination attempt took place. At 9:00 pm, the president returned to his official residence. At 11:00 pm, in a video released to the public, the president urged the Taiwanese people to remain calm and indicated that neither his health nor the security of Taiwan was threatened. The next day's election was not postponed, as Taiwanese law only allows for suspension of election upon the death of a candidate. Chen's opponent, Lien Chan, and Lien's campaign manager Wang Jin-ping tried to visit Chen on the night of the incident, but were unable to see the president because he was resting. Chen Shui-bian appeared in public the next day when he turned out to cast his vote.Investigation beginningWithin hours, police announced that the crime was not political, and that mainland China was not involved. In Internet chat rooms and on talk radio, some Pan-Blue supporters theorized that the incident was staged in order for Chen to gain sympathy votes. Meanwhile, some Pan-Green supporters theorized that the assassination was a part of China and those pro-China politicians' plot to claim Chen's life and crush Taiwan's democracy. The rumor of a failed assassination plotted by China spread rapidly among pro-independence underground radio networks in hours.These speculations were (and still are), however, considered highly offensive by both camps, and were not condoned by the leaderships of the two sides until after Chen had already won the election.Two bullet casings were found by a civilian under a police car after it was driven away. The casings found suggested that only two shots were fired at the motorcade. Their assembly also suggested that they were fired from home-made guns. It is unclear as to whether they were fired from the same gun, or from different guns.The police did not find or identify any suspect involved in the shooting. There were several people the police wanted to question based on erratic behavior, such as leaving the scene in a hurry as recorded by surveillance camera. A few people showed up after they recognized themselves on the broadcast footage, but these proved to be inconclusive.The bullet trajectory proposed...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about football suit clothes, discount nike clothing, .

Broadcast delay

A short delay is often used to prevent profanity or other undesirable material from making it to air, including more mundane problems such as technical malfunctions or coughing. In this instance, it is often referred to as a seven-second delay or profanity delay.Longer delays can also be introduced, as is sometimes done with nationally-broadcast programs in countries with multiple time zones. That can sometimes be simply achieved with a video tape recorder or similar technology. In the context of modern digital video recorders, this can now be considered a class of time shifting. In this instance, it is often called a tape delay or west-coast delay in the United States, so-called because special events (including award shows) broadcast live in the rest of the US are often tape-delayed on the west coast. This includes Southern California (with the exception of the Academy Awards, which airs live in Los Angeles and the rest of the west coast), despite the fact that Southern California is where many live televised events (American Idol, Dancing With The Stars), take place.Tape delay also refers to the process of broadcasting an event at a later scheduled time. This is because either a scheduling conflict prevents a live telecast, or a broadcaster seeks to maximize ratings by airing an event in a certain timeslot. A prominent example of the latter is coverage of the Olympic Games, when a broadcaster televises a high-profile event to air in prime time, even though that event at the "wrong" because it actually took place when fewer people are likely to be at the TV. Sporting events aired on tape delay are often edited down for time considerations, highlighting the most interesting portions of the event.Contents1 Early use 2 Computerized delay 3 Examples 3.1 Canada 3.2 United Kingdom 3.3 United States 4 See also 5 External links 5.1 References // Early useThe radio station WKAP in Allentown, Pennsylvania, introduced a tape delay system consisting of an external playback head, which was spaced far enough away from the record head to allow for a five-second delay. A system of rollers guided the tape over the playback head before it wound up on the take up reel. This system was introduced in 1952 when WKAP started a talk show called "Open Mic". It is believed that this was the first time a telephone call-in show was broadcast with the telephone conversation "live" on the air. The FCC rules at the time prohibited the broadcasting of a live phone conversation. However, there was no rule prohibiting a taped playback of a phone call, provided that a "beep" tone was heard by the caller every 15 seconds so that the caller knew he was being recorded. The five-second delay constituted a "taped" phone conversation, thus complying with FCC regulations. See Legal fiction.John Nebel, who began a pioneering radio talk show in New York city in 1954, was one of the early users of a tape delay system.Computerized delayIn 1977, the capacity of RAM (random-access memory) had reached 16kb (kilobits) per chip, enough to think about using computerized, digital audio means to create a sufficient delay for content deletion. By storing audio digitally, it was possible to move a "virtual tape head" along recorded audio. Eventide, Inc. created the first digital broadcast delay for this purpose. The device (known colloquially as a "dump box") had a large "DUMP"/"DELAY DUMP" button that would bring the delay to zero, thus removing unwanted segments. In addition to this convenience, it would also "rebuild" the delay time by unnoticeably lengthening the normal pauses in spoken material. Thus, a minute or so later, the broadcaster would again have full delay, often leaving the listener unaware that material had been deleted.In modern systems, a profanity delay can be a software module manually operated by a broadcast technician that puts a short delay (usually between five and ten seconds) into the broadcast of live content. This gives the broadcaster time to censor the audio (and video) feed. This can be accomplished by cutting directly to a non-delayed feed,...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about gsce bottle jack, Door Closer Spring, .
