Home/Apk Subs/Candy Crush Saga is The UK's Most Popular Game
Candy Crush Saga on the App Store
Candy Crush Saga is a popular mobile game that has captivated millions of players worldwide. Developed by King, the game was first released on Facebook in 2012 and quickly gained a massive following. It was then made available on mobile devices, and it has since become one of the most downloaded and played games on both iOS and Android platforms.
The game is a puzzle-style game where players are given a board filled with different colored candies. The objective is to match at least three candies of the same color in order to clear them from the board. As players progress through the levels, the puzzles become increasingly challenging, with various obstacles and special candies added to the mix.
What makes soccer so popular?
One of the reasons for the game's popularity is its simplicity. The mechanics of matching candies is easy to understand, making it accessible to players of all ages. Additionally, the game offers a high level of replayability, as each level presents a new challenge, and the difficulty level increases as players progress.
Game Factors and Game-Based
Another factor that contributes to the game's success is its social component. Players can connect with friends through Facebook and compete against each other to see who can progress further in the game. There is also a feature that allows players to request help from friends to complete a level that they are struggling with.
Candy Crush: A Sweet Treat
Crush Saga is also known for its in-app purchases, which allow players to buy extra lives, power-ups, and other bonuses to help them progress through the levels. While some players have criticized the game for being too reliant on these purchases, it is important to note that the game can be played and enjoyed without spending any money.
News & Views – The Popularity of Mobile
In addition to its popularity on mobile devices, Candy Crush Saga has also been adapted into a television game show, which premiered on CBS in July 2017. The show features teams of two players competing against each other to see who can progress the furthest in the game. The show has been well-received by audiences and has been renewed for multiple seasons.
Reasons Why Candy Crush Saga
Overall, Candy Crush Saga is a fun and enjoyable game that has proven to be incredibly popular among players of all ages. Its simple mechanics, replayability, and social component make it a game that is easy to pick up and hard to put down. While the game has been criticized for its in-app purchases, it is still a game that can be enjoyed without spending any money. With the added bonus of a TV show, Candy Crush Saga continues to be a beloved game and a household name.
Why is Candy Crush Saga
Candy Crush Saga is a popular mobile game that has been downloaded and played by millions of people worldwide. The game is available on both iOS and Android platforms, and it can be downloaded for free from the App Store and the Play Store. However, the game also offers in-app purchases that can help players progress through the levels more quickly and easily.
Self-Control and In-App-Purchases in Candy Crush Saga
In-app purchases in Candy Crush Saga include extra lives, power-ups, and boosters that can be used to help players clear the levels more efficiently. For example, the "Extra Moves" booster will give players additional moves to complete a level, while the "Extra Time" booster will give players more time to complete a level. Power-ups such as the "Color Bomb" can be used to clear large groups of candies at once, making it easier to complete a level.
You Can Now Buy Gold Bars With Real Money
Players can also purchase "Gold Bars" which can be used to buy extra lives, power-ups, and boosters. Gold Bars can be purchased in packs of various sizes, with larger packs offering a better value for money. Additionally, players can purchase "Lollipop Hammer" which can be used to clear a single candy on the board or "Jelly Fish" which can be used to clear all candies of a particular color.
All You Need To Know About In-App Purchases
It's important to note that while in-app purchases can make the game easier, they are not necessary to play and complete the game. Players can still progress through the levels without spending any money. However, for those who want to progress more quickly or are stuck on a particularly difficult level, in-app purchases can provide a helpful boost.
Another feature, the "Sugar Drops" that can be collected by playing the game, can be used to purchase limited-time items in the "Sugar Track". This feature allows players to unlock special levels, game modes and other in-game items that are not available otherwise.

GM CEO: 15 fired over ignition switch recalls; probe shows pattern of failures, no coverup
GM CEO Mary Barra revealed the findings of an internal probe into why the company did not recall faulty ignition switches earlier and detailed the company's actions, including firing 15 employees. (Reuters)
By Michael A. Fletcher
Michael A. Fletcher
A pattern of "incompetence and neglect" led to the long failure to recall millions of General Motors small cars over a deadly ignition switch defect, but there was no conspiracy to hide the problem, the company's chief executive said Thursday.
Outlining the results of an internal probe, GM chief executive Mary T. Barra said 15 employees deemed responsible for not vigorously tackling the problem have been forced out of the company, and five others have been disciplined. But the investigation by Anton R. Valukas, a former U.S. attorney, did not tie the problems to top executives in the company.
Rather than finding a coverup, the investigation revealed an ingrained corporate culture in which employees failed to take responsibility for the ignition-switch problem or treat it with urgency. Investigators misdiagnosed it, and information that could have helped unravel the mystery remained trapped in GM's bureaucratic silos, even as accidents and fatalities mounted.
The report described the "GM nod," where company officials would attend a meeting, nod in agreement on a proposed course of action, and then leave and do nothing.
That culture contributed to GM's waiting more than a decade to recall 2.6 million Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars equipped with the defective switch, which has been linked to at least 13 deaths and 54 accidents, the report said.

Barra, a GM lifer who took over as chief executive in January, has vowed to break that pattern, which contributed to the company's decline and eventual 2009 bankruptcy and federal bailout.
Despite the ignition switch debacle, GM sales have been strong in recent months and its future has appeared bright, continuing a trajectory the company has been on since it emerged from bankruptcy.
GM now logs one-third of its sales in China, the world's fastest-growing auto market. And this week, GM reported that in May it had its best sales month in nearly six years.
But for the company to continue that momentum, analysts said, Barra and other leaders must persuade consumers that GM has shed its old ways.
"It is a real trick to say 'we had a decade of a pattern of incompetence and I wasn't a part of it,' " said Daniel G. Hill, president Ervin Hill Strategy, a crisis-management firm. "Part of their effort is to convince consumers that the new GM is not the old GM."
The report said that GM had problems with the ignition switch from the beginning. The part never met GM specifications, but an engineer approved it for use anyway — a decision that complicated later efforts to solve the problem.
At first, the part's electrical system was so balky that it had to be redesigned. Then the switch was found to not have enough torque, allowing it to be accidently switched off, sometimes when a driver's knee hit the steering column or a key ring was heavily weighted down.
Complaints flowed almost from the start. The lead engineer for the part, Ray DeGiorgio, even once called it "the switch from hell," in a missive to parts supplier Delphi, the report said.
DeGiorgio, primarily concerned about the electrical problems that caused the switch to have trouble starting cars in cold weather, repeatedly pushed against efforts to address the torque problem, which he did not know posed a danger to drivers, the report said.
In 2006, DeGiorgio — one of the employees dismissed by GM — approved a new design for the part without documenting the change or alerting executives who could have ordered a recall, according to the report. In a 2013 deposition taken in connection with a suit against GM, DeGiorgio denied making the change. The report said he has steadfastly insisted that he simply forgot about it.
DeGiorgio could not be reached for comment for this article. But in his 2013 deposition, he said his son drove a 2007 Cobalt that he helped him buy to commute to school. "There is no way I would have done that — I gave this car to my kid — had I had any reservations," DeGiorgio said.
The change largely addressed the defect in later-model GM small cars, another factor that misled the company about the nature of the problem.
Still, the report concluded that GM should have been able to solve the problem but that the company's efforts at investigating it were "neither diligent nor incisive."
The company did not push harder to address the problem, in large part because it did not understand it. Engineers and others who looked into the ignition-switch problem, which caused cars to inadvertently stall, did not realize that the defect also disabled air bags.
Consequently, for years GM viewed the issue not as a safety problem but simply as one of customer convenience — "annoying but not particularly problematic," the report said.
"Once so defined, the switch problem received less attention, and efforts to fix it were impacted by cost considerations that would have been immaterial had the problem been properly categorized in the first instance," the report said.
GM officials continued to misunderstand the problem even as accidents and legal settlements mounted, and outside investigators began to see the switch problem as a pressing safety issue, the report said.
Describing the report's findings in a town hall meeting with 1,200 GM workers at a GM technical facility in Warren, Mich., Barra said employees did not share enough information or take enough initiative as evidence came in about the faulty switches, leading to tragic results.
"If this information had been disclosed, I believe in my heart the company would have dealt with this matter appropriately," Barra said.
GM has shared the report with federal safety officials and members of Congress. Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), whose committee has been investigating the recall, said a subcommittee of his panel will hold a second round of hearings in several weeks.
Meanwhile, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who is leading the Senate probe, also promised another hearing.
"I'm looking forward to getting a full briefing from Mr. Valukas. I won't be letting GM leadership, or federal regulators, escape accountability for these tragedies," she said.
The report was released after the ignition-switch problem triggered a series of government investigations and lawsuits that prompted Barra to restructure GM's top ranks to more quickly deal with safety problems. So far this year, the automaker has ordered 30 recalls affecting nearly 16 million vehicles in North America. The recalls alone have cost the automaker $1.7 billion.
And the troubles stemming from the deadly defect are far from over. Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration levied a $35 million fine against GM, the maximum amount allowed.
The company has hired mediation specialist Kenneth R. Feinberg to create a compensation fund for families of crash victims by Aug. 1. On Thursday, Feinberg said, "I have already drafted some preliminary compensation ideas and plan to share them in confidence over the next few weeks with lawyers, public-interest groups, GM and others interested in the compensation program."
The company also faces lawsuits from shareholders, dealers and others in connection with the defect. It is also under a series of government investigations, including a federal criminal probe that could result in financial penalties along the lines of the $1.2 billion paid by Toyota earlier this year for misleading consumers about unintended acceleration problems with several of its models.
Karl Brauer, an analyst with the automobile research firm Kelley Blue Book, said GM is showing signs that the ignition-switch recalls will not do lasting damage to its sales.
"The company on the product side has done a very good job over the last four years," Brauer said. "Consumers are more impressed by that than they are concerned by the recall issues."
In a conference call with analysts to discuss the report, Barra declared that the ignition-switch problems are not characteristic of current-day GM.
"We look at this as a unique series of mistakes that were made over a long period of time," she said.

I just wanted to check in and say "awesome site"!!
Anyway, I have been a saturn owner for a couple of years now and I just love driving my saturn! I have certainly had faster, more expensive cars, but this car is just a blast to drive! I attribute that to the fact that you can reach 8/10 or 9/10 of its performance and still obey 99% of traffic laws.
While I am rambling, I have a question. What happened to the red line on newer saturns? my 95 has a 6500 rpm red line, but I was looking at a newer SC2 on e-bay and noticed that it had dropped to 5500rpms. This seems a little light, after all I had a 98 mustang gt with the 4.6 liter that had (i believe) the same redline. I expect that in a larger engine, but not a 4 banger... what gives?

Maybe it was an SC1, not as SC2. My old SL1 had 5,500 rpm redline.

Are you sure? I'd swear my '94 SC-2 had a gauge that said 5500, even though the engine would go beyond before shifting if I punched it. My '99 is 6500.
All Twin Cams had a 6500 redline - single cams 5500. I can tell you something, I have seen this happen. Sometimes when the odometer gets replaced (the old ticking odometer from 1996!), they could replace it with the wrong cluster by accident. We had a 1997 SW2 on the lot that had a 180 km/h speedometer and a 5500 redline tach. It should read to 210 km/h and redline at 6500. The warranty history for the car showed the odometer had been replaced. Just my 2 cents worth.

Television's evolution drives Domino's sales
Story of the film
This film tells the story of how Domino's pizza used television's evolution to drive pizza sales and build their brand, over 10 years. It's a story of a gold-standard sponsorship, but it also encompasses spot, interactive advertising, on-demand pre-rolls and a range of other liberating TV technologies. Using all of these content opportunities was instrumental to driving the brand's success. This campaign picked up the Grand Prix at the Thinkbox TV Planning awards 2008
When Arena BLM signed a contract with Sky in 1998 for Domino's Pizza to sponsor The Simpsons, the agency knew the deal had huge potential.
Most Simpsons viewers were regular consumers of takeaway food, and The Simpsons was shown on national TV every day of the week at dinner-time. Nevertheless, the sponsorship deal was a huge gamble for Domino's, costing 95% of the brand's advertising budget.
Over the ten year of the campaign sales uplift was spectacular, increasing more than 10% each year from 1997 to 2007 and Domino's increasing its number of UK stores from 125 to 507. The campaign is consistently used as an example of best practice TV sponsorship and has won four IPA awards.
This is a TV-only planning strategy that has not just sold pizza, it effectively built the business in the UK and, hence, was unanimously voted the Grand Prix winner.
The success of the campaign is even more impressive considering that the restrictive advertising laws around foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar meant that Arena BLM couldn't show the product on screen and could only talk about it indirectly, hence the slogan "a fresh slice of family life delivered in 30 minutes". Initial figures for 2008 showed sales up by more than 13%.
The campaign has proved that an association with a fun and popular TV show can give life to a fledgling brand. The Simpsons provided Domino's with personality and charm - the traits large American food brands were felt to be lacking during the late '90s, when the majority of UK consumers preferred to buy takeaways from local pizza and kebab shops.
In 2005, The Simpsons creator Matt Groening himself made a Domino's commercial featuring Homer Simpson tucking into a pizza.
Domino's TV marketing expanded to 26 weeks of advertising a year, but it kept its association with the show throughout the campaign period, securing sponsorship of The Simpsons on Channel 4 in 2006

Local veteran open coffee shop franchise in Ruston
RUSTON, La. (KNOE) – There's something good brewing in Ruston. A new coffee shop owned and operated by a veteran and former police officer. Bobby Mounts just opened the doors to PJ's Coffee of New Orleans in Ruston on Farmerville Highway.
The coffee franchise originates in New Orleans, but Mounts was given the franchise license when he won the company's veterans franchise license giveaway in 2019. "It was awesome to be recognized for my service to my country and my community," Mounts said.
Mounts recalls that fighting for his country was always something he desired to accomplish. He says his father served in the Navy. "I grew up in a very patriotic household," Mounts said.
Mounts served in the Marine Corp for six years where he was deployed to Iraq for a little over a year.
After his service time, he instantly joined the Monroe Police Department for 9 years and then was a West Monroe Police Officer for 5 years. Mounts says when he found out he won the franchise license he emphasized their focus would be to give back to the veteran community and law enforcement.
"I know how hard they work. I know the sacrifices they make," Mounts said. "To be able to give back to them is my number one priority." The coffee shop overs 50% off drinks to all veterans and members of law enforcement. Mounts says it's a small token of his sincere appreciation to two organizations who supported him to get to where he is now.

Traffic Injury Prevention Institute awarded grant
December 15th, 2015 Author: Cal Powell | 706-542-3536 | More about Cal
Contact: Don Bower | 706-542-7566 | More about Don
Conyers, Ga. – The University of Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute has been awarded a $642,900 grant from the Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety to continue its statewide education programs in the areas of child passenger safety, parent and teen driving safety and senior driver education.
The Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute, or GTIPI, has partnered with GOHS for the past 29 years in designing and delivering education that improves driver and passenger safety across the lifespan. The institute continues to be a leading resource in traffic safety training and education in Georgia.
The Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety-UGA partnership dates back to 1986. At that time, federal grant funding was awarded to states with highway safety offices for partnering with institutions of higher education to address traffic injuries with an education and enforcement approach to reducing fatalities.
In Georgia, UGA Extension was awarded funding support to conduct educational classes for parents and caregivers on the consistent and correct use of child safety seats in all of Georgia's 159 counties.
Originally named the Occupant Safety Education Program, the project was renamed GTIPI in 2002. The institute continues today as an outreach initiative of UGA Extension as a part of the College of Family and Consumer Sciences' department of human development and family science.
Through this year's grant award, the institute will offer four separate training and community education initiatives: the National Child Passenger Safety Technician Certification Program, Georgia Teens Ride with P.R.I.D.E. (Parents Reducing Injuries and Driver Error), CarFit for senior drivers and the Online Safety Store.
Each program area delivers adult education for consumers, safety professionals and community volunteers designed to address the most common causes of traffic injuries and fatalities for target age groups. GTIPI also serves as a statewide resource for answering consumer questions about safer travel.
Law enforcement, emergency medical services, health departments, Extension educators, fire departments and others across the state participate in GTIPI's training and distribute educational materials. Onsite training is conducted across the state at regional locations, as well as at GTIPI's headquarters training facility in Conyers.
Parents and young children benefit from safety professionals and volunteers who achieve national certification in the child passenger safety technician course.
"Even though child safety seats are used more than 90 percent of the time by Georgia parents, child passenger safety technicians consistently find that almost all of those in use are installed incorrectly," said Don Bower, UGA professor emeritus and GTIPI project director. "The National CPST Certification Course offered by GTIPI qualifies public safety professionals, fire, medical and community volunteers to teach parents how to eliminate those installation and use mistakes."
PRIDE trains instructors how to deliver safe driving tools to the community. For the last 11 years, GTIPI's course for parents and their new teen drivers, "Georgia Teens Ride with P.R.I.D.E.," aims to reduce teen injuries and fatalities through education.
A train-the-trainer certification course equips PRIDE instructors to help parents guide their teens through the license process and helps teens learn how to avoid crashes. PRIDE instructors equip both the parent and teen with accurate information about how to obtain and keep a Georgia driver license.
"Georgia Teens Ride with P.R.I.D.E." was showcased by the national Governor's Highway Safety Association in 2013 for its strong educational impacts on state graduated driver licensing laws and parental involvement.
"Car crashes remain the leading cause of death for teens, and more than two-thirds of teens who die in crashes in Georgia weren't buckled up," Bower said. "After more than a decade of declines in crash rates, we are seeing a troubling increase this year."
Featured in AAA Magazine, the national CarFit program, designed for drivers aged 55 and up, helps seniors stay behind the wheel longer and more safely.
"CarFit is a non-threatening way to educate seniors about how to stay safe and comfortable in their cars as their physical abilities change with age," Bower said.
The Online Safety Store is a partnership between GOHS and GTIPI. Now in its seventh year of collaboration, the store is Georgia's primary source statewide for print and electronic traffic safety resources for public safety, public health, traffic safety professionals and consumers.
GTIPI manages distribution of GOHS materials from www.gahighwaysafety.org.
For more information on the Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute, traffic safety training and programs or other traffic-related resources, see www.ridesafegeorgia.org or call 678-413-4281 or 800-342-9819.

Nanostructured thin films from amphiphilic molecules
J. Y. Park, R. C. Advincula
Over the past several decades, the Langmuir monolayer and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) techniques have been widely utilized for the characterization of small amphiphilic molecules such as organic polymers (i.e. block copolymers, star block copolymers, and dendritic polymers), inorganic nanomaterials, and even carbon nanotubes and biomolecules. This chapter will introduce several amphiphilic and colloidal materials and describe their surface chemistry and properties at the air-water interface. Finally, some examples of thin film applications using LB films will be discussed.

Hubble turns 25 years old. The importance of a good tool
23-04-2015 THE CAB IN THE MEDIA (QUO)
Astrophysicists have a reputation as geeks. In general, all scientists, but perhaps astrophysicists are the prototype of a geek scientist. In our defense we can say that we are a separate group of scientists: our object of study is very far away, we can not touch it, nor change it, there is no interaction. To understand how the Universe is, we only have photons as messengers of information. So we had to develop methodologies that allowed us to extract all that information and develop theories that explained the observations. And, as important as the methodologies, we had to build telescopes that were able to make the most of the few photons that come from the stars.
Our understanding of the Universe has changed as telescopes were built getting bigger and bigger But the radical change, the most significant change in this path of knowledge occurred 25 years ago when the era of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) that revolutionized our way of seeing the Universe began: it was like putting on your glasses and stop seeing blurry .
At that time I was in full development of my thesis work studying a particular type of planetary nebulae, the very energetic ones. Planetary nebulae are among the most fascinating and grateful objects that can be studied in Astrophysics. They correspond to one of the final evolutionary states of stars like the Sun or a little more massive. This is what will happen to our star in about five billion years when, after exhausting its hydrogen, it becomes a red giant, it expels most of its photosphere and then becomes a white dwarf that " paint "of red, green and blue colors (thanks to the ionization) all that material that has formed very varied structures but, generally, in the shape of a shell.
My interest with these objects was to understand how they are created so different forms with apparently similar start conditions. One of those objects was the famous one (to say famous in this case perhaps denotes a little frikismo) Nebula of the Esquimal (NGC 2392). After studying it we came to the conclusion that it was the result of a succession of expulsions of material that had been accumulating.
Later, when the HST began to study the planetary nebulae everything changed and we understood better all the processes although, as always happens in science, new unknowns were also opened for all those new structures, unimagined until then, and that only the sharpness of the space telescope images allowed.
Now, when I see the images of NGC 2392 taken with the HST asked me: where has the Eskimo gone?

Home International The same old Erdoğan with more power is back!
The Turkish Election results are finally outputting rest to all speculations and wait to make President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan the clear winner.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been serving as the president of Turkey since 2014, with previous posts such as the Prime Minister of Turkey and even the Mayor of Istanbul. He found the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in 2001, which became a political organization of monumental importance since then.
Known for being pro- Islamic idea, Erdoğan will swear in on the 9th of July for the second time, after winning 52.3 per cent of the votes which totals 26.3 million votes, far better performance than the presidential polls of 2014 where he got 51.79% of the total votes polled.
His arch-rival, Muharrem Ince, representing the Republican People's Party (CHP), won 30.64% of the vote.
The remaining candidates were far behind. This included People's Democratic Party's Selahattin Demirtaş who won only 8.40% while the ex-interior minister who stood for elections too, Meral Akşener won only 7.29%.
The polls grabbed eyeballs globally as it was meant to give more executive power to the president so much so that the election and appointment of officials will give more power to the president which drew flak from critics who said that this would curb democracy and help dictatorial set up grow.
However, the president has applauded the power given as it helps in decision making and avoid unnecessary bottlenecks in the course of smooth functioning of the state machinery.
The new polls also witnessed a rise in the number of parliamentary seats from 500 to 600. The recent poll results have made things a bit exciting for the global political analysts as they are keen to see the national and international policies undertaken by the same president but with more power.

Q: Unioned query result to temp table I have a subquery which I want to insert into a temp table. But, I get syntax error such as SQL Error [102] [S0001]: Incorrect syntax near ')'..
select *

        FROM
         schemaB.tableC
        where (x  = '1234')
)

select *
from #TempTable

A: You need to give an alias to the inner query:
select *
into #TempTable
from (
        SELECT x,y,z
        FROM
         schemaA.tableC
        where (x  = '1234')
        UNION
        SELECT x,y,z
        FROM
         schemaB.tableC
        where (x  = '1234')
) AS P

select *
from #TempTable

Simply, the structure is:
SELECT
    *
FROM
   (SELECT * FROM MyTable) AS P

A: Add an alias to the derived table and you'll be good to go:
select a.*
into #TempTable
from (
        SELECT x,y,z
        FROM
         schemaA.tableC
        where (x  = '1234')
        UNION
        SELECT x,y,z

Lord Byron Nelson: The Gentleman from Waxahachie
May 19, 2017 By Jim Weathersby 1 Comment
Byron Nelson impacted the game of golf for decades. He played as a child into his 90s, established a record win streak that may never be broken, became the first professional golfer to have a PGA TOUR tournament named after him, served as a golf commentator for ABC, mentored young golfers such as Tom Watson, developed the modern golf swing, and performed as an honorary starter at The Masters for years after he retired from playing. However, his gentlemanly demeanor that set the standard for sportsman-like conduct may be his greatest contribution to the game.
Born in Waxahachie, Texas in 1912, John Byron Nelson, Jr. learned at an early age the tenets of Christianity from his parents. His faith dictated the way Nelson carried himself and treated others throughout his life. His fellow golfers considered him to be the perfect gentleman, which inspired The Atlanta Journal's O. B. Keeler (Bobby Jones' friend, mentor and biographer) to give Nelson the nickname of "Lord Byron."
Nelson began learning the game as an eleven-year old caddie at Glen Garden Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Three years later Nelson defeated fellow caddie and future golf great Ben Hogan in a tournament at the club.
By 1932, Nelson had elevated his game to that of a professional and earned a job as the golf professional at the Texarkana Golf Club two years later. During the early 1930s, Nelson, like many golfers, switched from hickory-shaft woods to steel ones. He quickly realized a difference between swinging wood-shaft clubs and steel-shaft clubs. With the way hickory shafts curved in the backswing, a golfer had to keep his lower body mostly still and generate power with his hands. Nelson recognized quickly that to be successful with steel-shaft clubs his swing would have to be redeveloped. Nelson began to stand more upright and use his legs and feet to generate power. He found that taking the club back straight, keeping his left arm rigid and with very little torque, he could keep the club head square through the hitting plane. Nelson then ascertained that he must keep his head still while his body shifted past it during the downswing. Once he mastered his redesigned swing, Nelson found that he could repeat it easily and precisely. He also found that his swing hit the ball with a more direct impact, which caused it to travel farther. Consequently, Nelson is credited with developing the modern golf swing. He also receives credit for designing the modern golf shoe and inventing the golf umbrella.
He joined the PGA TOUR in 1935 and won the New Jersey State Open that year for his first TOUR victory. That victory began an eleven year run that would witness 52 tournament championships, including the 1937 and 1942 Masters Tournaments, the 1939 United States Open, and the 1940 and 1945 PGA Championship titles.
The 1945 season for Nelson established him as one of the all-time great golfers. He won eleven tournaments in a row and seven others, and he averaged 68.33 strokes per round, a record that stood until 2000 when Tiger Woods averaged 67.8.
Nelson retired from the TOUR to become a rancher in 1946, but never strayed far from the game. He played on the 1947 United States Ryder Cup team and captained it in 1965. Nelson came out of retirement briefly in 1951 to play the Bing Crosby Pro-Am and won the tournament for his last PGA TOUR victory. He would play The Masters numerous times after retiring from the TOUR, finishing 15th in 1965. While managing the ranch, Nelson also had time to mentor young golfers such as Ken Venturi and Tom Watson and serve as a golf commentator for ABC television in the 1960s into the 1980s.
His most enduring accolade may be the golf tournament renamed for him. The Dallas Open became the Byron Nelson Classic in 1968 (it is now called the AT&T Byron Nelson). The Salesmanship Club of Dallas organizes the tournament. Much of the tournament proceeds go to help at-risk youth at the Salesman Club Youth and Family Centers in the Dallas area. Nelson's tournament has raised more than $100 million for the charity and became a special interest to him for years. Nelson in 2000 stated, "It (the tournament) has meant more to me, golf-wise, than anything."
The gentleman from Waxahachie became one of the original eleven male inductees into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974 and passed away in 2006 at the age of 94. Lord Byron arguably contributed more to the game of golf than any one individual and did so with a charm and grace unparalleled in the sport. Some golf historians claim Nelson was the greatest golfer that ever lived. While that may be debatable, everyone who ever encountered him would agree that Nelson had a gift for making people feel special, and that may be the greatest compliment one person can give to another. Cheers to Lord Byron Nelson!
