The 1913 Michigan Wolverines football team represented the University of Michigan in the 1913 college football season. The season was Fielding H. Yost's 13th as Michigan's head football coach.  The team compiled a record of 6–1, outscored opponents 175 to 21, and shut out four opponents while giving up an average of only three points per game.

After opening the season with wins against two Ohio colleges (Case and Mt. Union), the Wolverines lost to Michigan Agricultural College (now known as Michigan State University) by a score of 12–7.  It was Michigan's first loss in the history of its cross-state rivalry with the East Lansing institution.  Following the loss to the Aggies, star halfback Jimmy Craig, who had decided to quit playing football, returned to the team upon "urgent pleading by the entire student body."  In his season debut, Craig scored four touchdowns in the first half.  Though he played in only two-and-a-half games in 1913, Craig scored seven touchdowns and received consensus All-American honors, including a first-team selection by Walter Camp.

During its decade-long absence from the Western Conference, Michigan played inter-sectional rivalry games against Penn (12 games in 12 years from 1906–1917), Syracuse (10 games from 1908–1918), Cornell (7 games from 1911–1917), and Vanderbilt (7 games from 1905–1914).  In the final month of the season, Michigan defeated its four inter-sectional rivals by a combined score of 106 to 9.  Ohio State joined the Western Conference in 1913 and was barred by a Conference rule from playing Michigan.  For this reason, there was a hiatus in the Michigan–Ohio State football rivalry from 1913 to 1917.

Craig and tackle Miller Pontius were both selected as consensus first-team All-Americans.  Two other players received first-team All-American honors from at least one selector.  They were center and team captain George "Bubbles" Paterson, and quarterback Tommy Hughitt.

Season summary

Pre-season

Prior to the start of the 1913 football season, expectations for Michigan were uncertain.  In mid-August, head coach Fielding H. Yost sent invitations to 33 players to participate in training camp.  At the time, the Detroit Free Press wrote that "Chef Yost has started to mix the ingredients for the 1913 dish he will offer to college fans."  The core of Michigan's line was expected be strong with the return of five varsity letter winners: Miller Pontius at right tackle, George "Bubbles" Patterson at center, Ernest "Aqua" Allmendinger at right guard, and James Musser at left tackle.  Pontius had played mostly as an end in 1912 and was anxious to move to tackle where he "puts up his best game."  At the end position, Roy "Squib" Torbet also returned from the 1912 team.

The experience in the line contrasted with inexperience in the backfield.  The Wolverines were starting from scratch with the loss of all four backfield starters from the 1912 team.  Jimmy Craig had been the star halfback for Michigan in 1911 and 1912 and was also the 1912 intercollegiate hurdles champion.  (His older brother, Ralph Craig, was a track star at the University of Michigan who won gold medals in the 100 and 200-meter events at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden.)  In August 1913, Craig announced that he would no longer play football. Craig said he needed to drop athletics or fall behind in his university courses.  Another reason given for the decision was a bad knee.  Others speculated that Craig decided not to play, because he was not selected as captain of the 1913 team.

Also gone from Michigan's backfield were quarterback Herbert "Hub" Huebel, fullback George Thomson, and halfback/end Otto Carpell.  Tommy Hughitt was the only backfield veteran, having started three games at halfback in 1912.  Hughitt, who later became a star in the early days of professional football, became the starting quarterback in 1913.

Training camp began in mid-September.  Having abandoned his earlier practice of holding training camp at Whitmore Lake, Yost conducted training camp out of a new club house at Ferry Field.  Yost subjected his players to more strenuous drills each day, supplementing the drills "with work at the 'bucking machine' and the tackling dummy."

In late September, an article asserting that Coach Yost was "subject to brain storms" appeared in Harper's Weekly, drawing a response of anger and "healthy disgust" from Yost's players who "insist that their coach has never had a brain storm in his life."  The article was written by Herbert Reed and said of Yost:"The attitude of Fielding H. Yost at Michigan should be one of the interesting features of the season, for Yost is temperamentally a 'chance-taker.'  Unlike most extremists, his 'brain storms' have met with more frequent reward.  It must not be inferred from this, however, that Yost does not know the game from the ground up – merely that any move he makes is absorbingly interesting for the reason that something fancy is apt to develop from it without notice to or benefit of clergy for his opponent.  The more startling type of play usually comes out of the West, anyway; for the Westerners like shortcuts to victory."
Four days before the season opener, a scrimmage between the first team and the scrubs resulted in a story in the Detroit Free Press under the headline, "Gloom in the Camp of Yost." In the hour-long scrimmage, the first team was unable to score and lost to the scrubs, 3–0.  The Free Press opined that it was "easily the most discouraging work yet seen on Ferry Field" and resulted not from being outplayed by the scrubs, but from the fact that the first team players "just weren't good enough to score."

Week 1: Case

Michigan opened its season on October 4, 1913, with a 48–0 victory over Case School of Applied Science. (Michigan opened its season with a home game against Case 16 times between 1902 and 1923.) After taking a 34–0 lead at halftime, Coach Yost played his second-string players in the second half.  The highlight of the game was a 45-yard touchdown return by 200-pound center George "Bubbles" Paterson after intercepting a Cornell pass.  Other highlights included a pair of 60-yard runs by left halfback James Catlett.  Michigan's offense consisted of "straight football" with only one pass being attempted in the game.

Michigan's starting lineup against Case was Torbet (left end), Musser (left tackle), Lichtner (left guard), Paterson (center), Allmendinger (right guard), Pontius (right tackle), Lyons (right end), Hughitt (quarterback), Catlett (left halfback), Bentley (right halfback), and Galt (fullback).  Players appearing in the game as substitutes were Tessin, Raynsford, Morse, Cochran, Millard, James, Watson, Roehm, Quinn, and Diehl.  The game was played in 10-minute quarters.

Week 2: Mt. Union

In its second game, Michigan played Mt. Union in the first meeting between the two programs.  The game was a late addition to the schedule and was "intended as a practice tilt."  Although Michigan won the game, 14–0, the Mt. Union team was praised for holding the Wolverines to only 14 points.  The Detroit Free Press wrote:"Up from a small, hitherto unknown college in Ohio came eleven husky, scrappy football players today and for over one hour on Ferry field they furnished the proud Wolverines with a battle for gridiron honors which put the name of Mt. Union college on the football map for many years to come."
Early in the second quarter, Michigan penetrated deep into Mt. Union territory on a drive that featured end runs of 25 and 20 yards by James Catlett and a forward pass from Tommy Hughitt to John Lyons at the four-yard line.  With first down at the Mt. Union four-yard line, it took four attempts before Hughitt scored the touchdown.  George Paterson kicked the extra point.  The Wolverines scored again in the second quarter on a drive that was aided by a pass interference penalty against Mt. Union.  After the penalty, the ball was placed at Mt. Union's three-yard line, and Leland Benton ran for the touchdown. Paterson again kicked the extra point. At halftime, Coach Yost denied his players the usual rubdowns in the field house and instead kept them on the field for a heated lecture.  Despite the halftime prodding, the Wolverines were unable to score in the second half, and the game ended with Michigan ahead, 14–0.

Michigan's starting lineup against Mt. Union was Torbet (left end), Musser (left tackle), Traphagen (left guard), Paterson (center), Allmendinger (right guard), Pontius (right tackle), Lyons (right end), Hughitt (quarterback), Galt (left halfback), Catlett (right halfback), and Benton(fullback).  The only substitution for Michigan was Quinn, replacing an injured Catlett at right halfback during the first quarter.  The game was played in 12-1/2-minute and 10-minute quarters.

Week 3: Michigan Agricultural

For its third game, Michigan played the Aggies from Michigan Agricultural College (now known as Michigan State University).  The Wolverines played without its starting left halfback, Martin Galt.  Galt was injured in the Mt. Union game.  For the first time in the history of the intrastate rivalry, the Aggies beat the Wolverines, 12-7.  The Aggies' offense, led by fullback "Carp" Julian, scored touchdowns in the first and third quarters, but missed both extra points.  Halfback Miller returned a Michigan fumble 45 yards for the one touchdown, and the other score came on a long drive. An account of the game noted: "The one great feature of the game was the accuracy of the Aggies forward passing which netted a total of 76 yards for the Farmers."  Trailing 12-0 at the start of the fourth quarter, the Wolverines rallied in the fourth quarter.  Clyde Bastian recovered an M.A.C. fumble at midfield and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown, and George Paterson kicked the extra point, cutting the lead to five points.  Late in the fourth quarter, Michigan opened up its offense and drove to the Aggies' 35-yard line.  A long forward pass to the goal line fell incomplete, and the game came to an end.  The New York Times described the game as "a desperate gruelling struggle." M.A.C. halfback Blake Miller suffered a blow to the head during the game and was hospitalized in serious condition.

In November 1913, The Michigan Alumnus made note of the Aggies' potential as an athletic threat: "This victory with the football tie in 1908, and the Farmers' clean sweep in baseball in 1912, point to the fact that M.A.C. will bear watching by Michigan."  In the celebration following the game, two Aggies fans were arrested and jailed for "throwing bottles about the streets" in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Michigan's starting lineup against the Aggies was Torbet (left end), Musser (left tackle), Traphagen (left guard), Paterson (center), Allmendinger (right guard), Raynford (right tackle), Lyons (right end), Hughitt (quarterback), Catlett (left halfback), Bentley (right halfback), and Pontius (fullback).  Players appearing in the game as substitutes were Lichtner, Roehm, and Bastian.  The game was played in 12-minute quarters.

Week 4: at Vanderbilt

On October 25, 1913, Michigan played Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee.   The game matched Michigan head coach Fielding H. Yost against his former player and brother-in-law, Dan McGugin.  Owing to the relationship between Yost and McGugin, the two teams played nine times between 1905 and 1923, with Michigan winning eight times.  Michigan won the 1913 game, 33–2, in the worst defeat for Vanderbilt since McGugin became the head coach.  The game was marked by the Wolverines' most extensive use of the forward pass during the 1913 season.  Michigan's air attack was described as showing "dazzling proficiency", as the forward passes were responsible for four of Michigan's five touchdowns.  In the Detroit Free Press, E. A. Batchelor wrote: "Vanderbilt fairly gasped in amazement as the Wolverines shot the ball from one to another with the precision of baseball players."

Michigan touchdowns were scored by Cyril Quinn (2), Tommy Hughitt (2), and Martin Galt.  George Paterson kicked three extra points.  Vanderbilt's only points came late in the first quarter.  A punt by Cyril Quinn was blocked by Tom Brown and bounced into the end zone.  After a wild scramble, Clyde Bastian fell on the ball for a safety.

Michigan's starting lineup against Vanderbilt was Torbet (left end), Raynsford (left tackle), Traphagen (left guard), Paterson (center), Cochran (right guard), Pontius (right tackle), Lyons (right end), Hughitt (quarterback), Bastian (left halfback), Galt (right halfback), and Quinn (fullback).  Players appearing in the game as substitutes included Lichtner, McHale, Allmendinger, James, Bushnell, Watson, Meade, Musser, and Bentley.  The game consisted of 15-minute quarters.  Willie Heston, who was a teammate of McGugin and star player for Michigan, served as the head linesman in the game.

Week 5: Syracuse

On November 1, 1913, Michigan played Syracuse in Ann Arbor. After withdrawing from the Western Conference, Michigan developed annual rivalry games with a handful of Eastern teams.  Accordingly, Michigan played Syracuse ten times from 1908 to 1918.  Michigan won the 1913 game, 43–7.

The game marked the return of Jimmy Craig to the left halfback position for Michigan.  After the loss to Michigan Agricultural College, "urgent pleading by the entire student body . . . induced him to re-enter the game."  Against Syracuse, Craig immediately returned to 1912 form, scoring four touchdowns in the first half.  To avoid injury, he was pulled from the game in the second quarter and did not play in the second half.

Michigan's starting lineup against Syracuse was Lichtner (left end), Musser (left tackle), Traphagen (left guard), Paterson (center), Allmendinger (right guard), Pontius (right tackle), Lyons (right end), Hughitt (quarterback), Craig (left halfback), Galt (right halfback), and Quinn (fullback).  Players appearing in the game as substitutes included Tessin, Cochran, McHale, Raynsford, James, Bushnell, Catlett, Meade, Benton, and Bentley.  The game consisted of 15-minute quarters.

Week 6: at Cornell

On November 8, 1913, Michigan played Cornell at Percy Field in Ithaca, New York.  The Wolverines traveled by train to Geneva, New York, where they stayed the night before the game.  The game was the tenth meeting between the two programs, with Michigan having won two and lost eight of the prior games. One week earlier, Cornell had lost to Harvard, 23-6.  As Harvard was considered the best football team in the East in 1913, Michigan's players hoped to defeat Cornell by an even larger margin.  In the end, Michigan won by the same 17-point margin, 17-0.

In the first quarter, Michigan scored on a drive that featured a 35-yard gain on a forward pass from Tommy Hughitt to John Lyons.  The Wolverines scored on a play in which most of the Michigan players ran to the left, and Jimmy Craig took a delayed pass from center and ran around the right end.  George Paterson kicked the extra point.  In the second quarter, two field goal attempts by Cornell were unsuccessful, and neither team scored.  Cornell's right halfback Fritz fumbled the kickoff at the start of the second half, and Roy Torbet recovered for Michigan.  After the Cornell defense held, Paterson kicked a field goal from the 26-yard line.  On the Wolverines' next drive, Michigan drove 70 yards for a touchdown.  The scoring drive featured a 45-yard run by Efton James on a fake forward pass.  Hughitt ran for the touchdown, and Paterson again kicked the extra point.  Neither team scored in the fourth quarter, though Craig gained 30 yards on a running play.  After the game, a contingent of 300 Michigan fans "paraded and snake-danced" behind the Michigan band.

The New York Times reported that "Cornell was completely outplayed, outweighed, and outfought", and almost powerless against the "smashing onslaught of the Wolverines."  In the Detroit Free Press, E. A. Batchelor wrote that Michigan had outplayed Cornell in every aspect of the game, except punting.  Paterson was credited with playing the best game of his career, as he "roamed all over the field like a prowling beast of prey, tackling, blocking, making holes and in general performing splendid service."  Ernest Allmendinger also won praise for his performance, with The New York Times crediting him with "a brilliant game on defense", and Batchelor describing him as "a snorting agent of destruction."

Michigan's starting lineup against Cornell was Torbet (left end), Musser (left tackle), Traphagen (left guard), Paterson (center), Allmendinger (right guard), Pontius (right tackle), Lyons (right end), Hughitt (quarterback), Craig (left halfback), Quinn (right halfback), and Galt (fullback).  Players appearing in the game as substitutes included Lichtner, Raynsford, Cochran, James, and Bushnell.  The game consisted of 15-minute quarters.

Week 7: Penn

Michigan concluded its 1913 season with a 14-0 victory over Penn. During the period of Michigan's withdrawal from the Western Conference, the Penn Quakers were Michigan's principal rival, playing each other every year from 1906 to 1917 (usually as the last game of the season).

The 1913 match between the Wolverines and Quakers was played in Ann Arbor.  The night before the game, a mass meeting was held at Hill Auditorium featuring speeches by University President Harry Burns Hutchins, Coach Yost, and others.  Highlights of the night included the debut of a new song called "Michigan Men of Steel" and the "new Hawaiian yell" which was "enthusiastically received."   The game itself was played with wet snow falling at times and rain at other times.  The Penn team did not appear at Ferry Field until 21 minutes after the scheduled start time, having failed to leave sufficient time for train travel between Detroit and Ann Arbor.  A record crowd, estimated at 20,000 to 22,000, filled the grandstands and bleachers to capacity and watched as the Michigan band, "treading to strains of 'The Victors,' marched up and down the field and under the goal posts."

Although Michigan scored only 13 points, the Wolverines converted 14 first downs in the first half to only one for the Quakers.  E. A. Batchelor wrote that the score concealed the decidedly one-sided nature of the game:"If ever one football team smothered another, kicked it out of its boots, ground it into the mud, outfought it, outguessed it and outlasted it, Michigan did these things to the Quakers today.  Not for one little moment were the easterners ever in the game."
The New York Times wrote that Michigan had "simply battered" the Penn defense and Penn's offense was at no time even dangerous.  After the Penn game, Coach Yost declared 1913 "one of Michigan's greatest years."  The 1913 Michiganensian (the University of Michigan yearbook) devoted four full pages to an account of the Penn game and concluded: "That glorious triumph will go down the vista of the years as one of the greatest and most satisfactory tributes paid to Yost genius, and the undying spirit at Michigan."

Playing in his third game of the 1913 season (and his last for Michigan), Jimmy Craig scored both of the Wolverines' touchdowns.  The first touchdown was scored at the conclusion of an 82-yard drive in the first quarter.  The drive consisted of "plunges and end runs" by Craig, Tommy Hughitt, and Martin Galt, and ended with Craig diving over the Penn line from the two-yard line.  George Paterson kicked the extra point.  In the second quarter, Michigan scored on another long drive featuring a long run by Craig and a 25-yard gain on "a circus catch" by John Lyons of a pass from Hughitt.  Craig ran for the touchdown from the five-yard line, and Paterson's kick for the extra point hit the upright and bounced back onto the field.

During the second half, Michigan played a defensive strategy.  The highlight of the second half came in the third quarter, after Craig intercepted a pass at midfield.  On the ensuing drive, Craig ran 20 yards to the 27-yard line.  On third down, the Wolverines set up in kick formation with Paterson lined up for an attempted field goal.  Instead, Hughitt took the snap and ran 27 yards for an apparent touchdown. E. A. Batchelor described the play:"The ball came back straight and true to Hughitt and Paterson advanced and kicked.  But he kicked the empty air, for Tommy rose the minute he got his hands on the leather, and was off like a shot around Pennsy's right end. . . . Michigan's rooting section proceeded to do things which would cause an insane patient to get the straightjacket and padded cell, but the demonstration was premature."
The touchdown was nullified due to a holding penalty.  The penalty occurred at a distance from Hughitt's run and was called on a Michigan player who slipped in the mud and grabbed Penn's center to hold himself steady.  The Michigan Alumnus wrote that "one of the cleverest plays from placement formation that football followers have ever witnessed, went for naught."

Two days after the game, Batchelor reflected on the game and concluded that the victory was "a splendid example of what good coaching in the fundamentals of football will do for a team."  He opined that the blocking was the best ever seen on Ferry Field and "as near perfect as anything in the line of football could be."

Michigan's starting lineup against Penn was Raynsford (left end), Musser (left tackle), Cochran (left guard), Paterson (center), Allmendinger (right guard), Pontius (right tackle), Lyons (right end), Hughitt (quarterback), Craig (left halfback), Galt (right halfback), and Torbet (fullback).  Players appearing in the game as substitutes were McHale, Scott, Quinn, and Catlett.  The game consisted of 15-minute quarters.

Western Conference overtures
In late 1912, Ohio State agreed to join the Western Conference starting in 1913.  As a result, Ohio State would be barred by a Conference rule from playing Michigan (and the two teams did not play from 1913 to 1917). In November 1912, the Conference also formed a committee to confer with University of Michigan representatives about resuming its participation.  The topic was a subject of considerable controversy during the 1913 football season.  The Michigan Daily conducted a popular vote among students, faculty and alumni which produced results overwhelmingly opposed to the resumption of athletic relations with the Western Conference.  The students voted 2,324-911 against the Conference, and the faculty also voted in opposition, though by a closer margin of 49-39.  In mid-November 1913, the University's Board of Regents expressed its appreciation for the invitation to return to the Conference, but passed the following resolution: "Resolved: This Board deems inexpedient, under present conditions, a return of the University of Michigan to the Western Conference and deems undesirable the continued agitation of the subject on Campus."

Post-season

At the end of the season, two Michigan players, left halfback Jimmy Craig and tackle Miller Pontius, were consensus first-team All-Americans.  Craig was selected despite playing in only two-and-a-half games, receiving the honors from, among others, Walter Camp in Collier's Weekly, Harper's Weekly, Frank G. Menke (sporting editor of the International News Service), Tom Thorp, and Fielding H. Yost for the Detroit Free Press. Craig was also awarded the Heston-Schulz Trophy as the most valuable player on Michigan's 1913 team.  Pontius received first-team honors from Menke, Thorp, Yost, and Parke H. Davis.  Quarterback Tommy Hughitt was the third Wolverine chosen by Coach Yost for his All-American team, and center George Paterson was selected as a first-team All-American by the Milwaukee Free Press.

One of the most promising signs during the 1913 season was the performance of the All-Freshman team coached by Prentiss Douglass. Led by John Maulbetsch, who would become a star for Michigan's varsity in 1914, the All-Freshman team compiled a record of 5-0 in games against  Michigan State Normal School, Hillsdale College, Adrian College, the University of Detroit, and Alma College.  The freshmen outscored their opponents 257 to 7.

Each time I begin to blog, I start out with an apology as to why I haven't touched the keyboard in a while. Hmm.....I think it's called groceries, committee meetings, editing, planning graduation parties, planning birthday parties, church, substituting, running.... life in general! Sorry--once again! I have finally decided to just forgive myself and hope you do the same!
SO, all i have to say is just a few words..


Yet on a different show. A Solar Power company had a similar problem. The sun was only up during the day. (and on Cloudy days well)… They came up with a killer fix. Keep in mind the-Powers-that- be wanted to install expensive jet engine (turbines) generators…. But, The Solar power plant, instead of Solar panels used a solar heat conversion system. The solar rays made steam. They stored the BTU's (heat) in the Ground (complex salt heat sinks). They stored HEAT called "Positive BTU's" first. By building a heat sink out of a salt compound, the steam, and via heat pumps transferred the heat into the salt sinks. They had another yet another problem time latter with too much heat…. instead of the conventional thought. To get rid of the heat. (Think massive cooling towers) They stored COLD "Negative BTU's" (Cold) in a cold sink. Just by running the same water that was steam, in the winter they run the cold water through the solar pipe above ground collecting the cold. And store the negative BTU's in a system of 'water bath sinks'. (Think a bath tub with pipes running horizontally through the water cooling then freezing the water) when they needed positive BTU's they took that from the Salt Heat sinks, and when it was too hot in the Office buildings they pumped the water through the bath tubs that had frozen water in them. This was possible, first because they had a large chunk of land. And second because they thought out of the box…..

These Slot Machine Terms are some of the most popular and widely used that you will encounter when playing online slot games. They are also useful to learn if you ever go to a brick-and-mortar casino in order to have a great experience. Be sure to read through them, as there will be one or two terms that you may have never heard of, but will need to know.
A slot machine that has 3 reels of symbols for the player to spin.
This machine has 5 reels of symbols.
A 243 ways slot pays out when symbols appear on any of the reels in any position, as long as they match on at least two adjacent spaces. Check the machine pay table for award amounts.
A recent boom in online gaming has resulted in a rapid increase in 3D video slots. These are graphically intense and have depth in their imagery to give the three-dimensional effect. These slots are available online and also in live casinos.
The total amount that a slots player bets in a certain period of time is known as action. It can also refer to the total amount of time a player has gambled on slots in a particular casino, as tracked by their player's club card or online account information.
Most slots award cash wins based on multiple symbols occurring on an active pay line. This is a pay line that has been activated by the player. Slots can have up to 243 pay lines and the player will have to wager a certain amount per pay line to activate each one.
Some of the most common symbols on a slot machine are the bars. These are basic black bars with BAR printed in white. They are often the lowest paying symbols and are activated if a player gets two or more bar combinations across an activated pay line. See the paytable for each machine for further details.
The amount of cash that a player wagers on a spin is referred to as a bet.
The highest amount of credits that a player can wager on each spin is known as the bet max. On most slots there is a bet max button which will allow the player to spin at this rate without choosing how many credits to bet and how many pay lines to activate. The bet max will also result in the largest possible prizes from the slot machine and sometimes the jackpot is only available when a player max bets.
The bet min is the smallest amount a player can wager on one spin. This will generally be 1 credit on 1 pay line Depending on the denomination value of the machine it could be 1 penny. The possible payouts and prizes on a minimum bet are very low, so it is wise to avoid this bet unless you're playing for fun or to learn how to play.
A pay table on a slot machine will indicate if there is a bonus round or feature. It will provide instructions on how to activate that round, which is usually by hitting three or more bonus symbols during a standard spin. A bonus round is usually a separate event in which players can make certain decisions to earn extra winnings. Sometimes a bonus round will simply be a certain number of free spins. Bonus rounds are becoming more complex as slot developers create more sophisticated machines based on elaborate themes, and some online slots now even have multiple bonus rounds.
On some slot machines, certain payouts will be awarded only if the player is wagering a certain amount per spin. This is referred to as a buy a pay and information about what is required will be available on the pay table. It's important to take notice of this as the jackpot sometimes won't be available unless you're betting a certain amount.
Buy a feature is very similar to a buy a pay. It will only allow access to certain bonuses or features in the game if a player is wagering a certain minimum amount per spin.
A bank or group of slots that are placed together on a casino floor is referred to as a carousel.
Once a player inserts money into a slot machine this will be converted to credits. These credits can then be used to bet on each spin. A credit indicator is typically found on the bottom right-hand corner of the slot machine or screen.
The amount of cash you have available and are wagering on a slot machine is referred to as coins.
From a penny to $100, the coin size is the value assigned to each coin or credit when you're betting at a slot machine.
Finding a coin slot is becoming rare, although some casinos still offer quarter or penny machines. A coin slot is simply a machine that accepts coins when cashing in, and will drop coins into the slot machine tray when you cash out.
The collect button is located on the slot machine and allows players to cash out their remaining credits.
The value of a single coin on a slot machine is known as the denomination. Some machines will allow the player to change the coin denomination. A carousel of slots in a casino will usually be the same denomination such as a penny, quarter or dollar.
Some casinos offer players free play to get them into the casino and playing slots. Free play is a certain amount of credit that players can use in a machine without risking any of their own money. Generally, players load their free play onto a particular machine and then add some of their own money. The best online casinos will also offer free play as prizes in slot tournaments, raffles, and other competitions.
Certain slot machines will offer free spins to a player as a bonus round. The pay table will indicate which symbols are needed during a normal spin to activate the free spins. Make sure to learn more about free spins and other casino bonuses.
When a player hits a number of symbols across reels and on a pay line, this is known as a hit.
Most casino slot machines pay out players with ticket vouchers. Some older slots, however, still have a hopper within them that contains coins to be paid out to players when they cash out.
The highest possible prize that can be won on a slot machine is known as a jackpot. Quite often, players can hit a jackpot only when they're betting the maximum amount on each spin. Information on how to win a jackpot will be available on the slot machine's pay table.
A line bet refers to how much a player is wagering on a single line on a slot machine. The line bet will determine the payout if the player hits the required number of symbols.
If a slot machine has a very high payback percentage and is favorable to the player, then it's known as a loose slot. When playing slot machines, you should always seek out the highest possible payback as this will push your money further and give you the best possible chance having more winning sessions.
Sometimes when playing a slot machine the reel face will light up and play the music that is associated with a win. Upon closer inspection though the player will realize they actually won less than they initially bet. This is a loss disguised as a win and is a powerful psychological trick played by casino operators and slot machine manufacturers to make players feel good even when they don't win.
Traditional and older slots still have mechanical reels that stop behind glass or plastic to reveal symbols. Mechanical slots are still programmed, however, and have a certain payback percentage applied to them. A mechanical slot will generally have fewer pay lines than a video slot and will predominantly feature 3 reels.
Slots that offer multiple pay lines are known as multi-line slots. Mechanical slots usually only have one or three pay lines while video slots will generally offer many more. Players must increase their wager to play all the pay lines, but this strategy drastically increases their chances of winning. Playing on a coin denomination machine that suits your bankroll with all lines activated is the best way to play slots.
Some slots have symbols that move up or down once the reel has stopped. These are known as nudge slots. They can be very fun and provide that extra level of excitement to slot play.
Other common symbols are numbers. These are usually 10, J, Q, K, and A, and will be some of the lowest paying symbols on a machine.
Slot machines are known around the world as one-armed bandits. This is due to the fact they have a lever, or one arm, and are programmed to take money from players in the long run.
Most slot machines have a payback percentage between 90 and 99 percent. If a machine has a payback percentage of 95% then the machine will return 95% of the cash that is bet on it. If you're playing on slots that have a payback percentage below 90%, find another machine or casino. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to find accurate payback percentage figures.
On every slot machine, you'll find a page or section that outlines how much you can win during gameplay. This is known as a pay table. On video slots, the pay table button is on the screen, and on mechanical slots, it is printed on the slot machine itself. In addition to payouts, a pay table will also show what is required to activate the bonus, how the gamble feature works if there is one, what the scatter symbol is, and how the wild symbols work.
These slots allow players to bet 1 penny per pay line. Many players will often seek out these machines as they can play them for a long time and get lots of entertainment without risking much money. Beginners can also play on penny slots to get used to slot machines and how they work.
This is an Australian slang term for slot machines. They may also refer to them as poker machines.
A progressive slot machine is generally a manufacturer owned machine. The manufacturer will pay a fee to a casino to have their machine placed on the floor, or available in the library of slots online, and will share profits with the operator. This machine has a progressive jackpot which slowly increases until it's won. The jackpot is available on all machines, regardless of location. Progressive jackpots can be huge, yet this is offset by a worse payback percentage, so progressive jackpot machines should generally be avoided. However, if you want a chance at hitting a jackpot worth millions of dollars, then seek out a progressive machine and good luck.
Slot machines are completely random and each spin is independent of the spin that occurs before it. This is enabled by a random number generator program that's powered by the slot machine computer. The random number generator is based on a mathematical algorithm that allows for truly random numbers to be generated on each spin. These numbers then define how the slot reels spin.
The reels on a slot machine are the columns that contain various symbols. Slots generally have 3 or 5 reels that can show anywhere from two to ten symbols when the spin finishes. The reel on a mechanical slot will actually rotate and stop in place, while video slot reel spins are simulated.
A scatter symbol will award the player when a certain number of them are revealed on the reels at the completion of a spin. Scatters can sometimes also start a bonus round.
A wider and shorter slot machine that is becoming more popular in casinos around the world is a slant top slot machine. It saves space and allows the player to have a more immersive experience, particularly on video slots.
Pretty much every casino has a slots club or a player's club. Players can join this club and usually will earn reward or comp points based on their play. Comp points can be redeemed for cash back or free play, or used to purchase other items in the casino.
Many players clubs will also have tiers which players can advance through based on their gameplay. The higher the tier, the more benefits a player will get. For those in countries where gambling winnings are taxed, a player's club will also track your total profit or loss and produce a report for you. It's always a good idea to join a player's club as you'll get some benefits back from all the bets that you make. You may also get invited to free player's club slot tournaments where you can win some free cash.
Players can buy into a slot tournament or be invited for free through the player's or slot club. These tournaments will give the players either unlimited credits within a set time period to win as many credits as possible, or will give a set number of credits to try and win as much as possible. At the end of the tournament every player is ranked on the scorecard and the top players, depending on the tournament payouts, will be awarded with either cash or free play credits.
All the individual images, numbers or bars on slot machines reels are referred to as symbols. These symbols have an associated payout amount when a player hits the required number of them on a pay line.
Unlike mechanical slots, there are no moving parts on a video slot. It's purely digitized and presented to the player on a monitor. The video slot simulates the spinning reels like a mechanical slot, but it includes better graphics and bonus rounds. Video slots will also generally have 5 reels and many more pay lines than a mechanical slot.
In many slots, the player will have the opportunity to hit a wild symbol. This symbol will substitute for any other symbol in the game, except bonus symbols or scatters, and allows for extra wins. Sometimes a wild symbol will also act as a scatter symbol awarding the player with an extra win if a certain number of wilds are hit. Some slot machines also have cascading wilds which will convert other symbols on the slot face into more wilds, allowing for massive or concurrent wins.
Similar to a wild, a wild multiplier will substitute for any other symbol except scatters and bonus symbols. It will also multiply a win by a certain amount based on the symbol combination the player achieves.
When the correct combination of symbols appears on an activated pay line, the player will be awarded a win.

Kallan carries a whole host of skills to our Client Experience team. Before joining Wisetail, she spent more than ten years in IT and project management. A native of New Mexico who spent a few formative years in South Dakota, Kallan earned degrees in political science and English from the University of Wyoming.
When she's not providing top-notch client service, you're most likely to find Kallan outside hiking with her dog, fishing, or — in the case of inclement weather — reading, trying to cook, or watching hockey. For all her passions, though, animals hold a special place. Kallan volunteers her spare time to all things animal related, including working with birds of prey.


Phase to Phase, how does it happen?
We so look forward to receiving anyone onto the programme, and for that to happen we need the first step to be an application form.
Once your application has been received our referrals team will start to find out more about your specific requirements and give you a telephone interview to get to know you more.
If this all goes well and the feedback we get is accurate, the referrals team will start coordinating a joining date with you and the Phase 1 manager.
Our 12 bed Loughborough centre hosts this Phase and whilst your time here may be short before you move up to Phase 2, it plays an integral part of the process as you adjust to day to day life without substances or alcohol and also adjust to the programme structure. It may last between 2 and 12 weeks.
To move to Phase 2 you will need to be clean and sober, having adjusted to the Phase 1 programme sufficiently and be committed to the change that you want to see in your life.
Phase 2 is at our 29 bed residential centre at Six Hills. This Phase is more structured than Phase 1, with more group and individual sessions, facilitating gym and home visits, as well as brushing up on those home living skills like cooking, cleaning and budgetting! This Phase usually lasts 16 to 26 weeks and is the end of the main programme, with Phase 3 being an optional extra.
To move to Phase 3 you will need to pass an interview with the Phase 3 team, where they will talk to you about what you aim to gain from Phase 3. Phase 3 specifically aims to see you back in active employment or education that leads to employment and the Phase 3 team will spend time with you weekly helping you achieve this. This Phase can last up to 18 months depending on an individuals progress, though many complete a successful move on from Phase 3 into their own accommodation in a much shorter time.

Christine Lavant (burgerlijke naam Christine Habernig, geb. Thonhauser; 4 juli 1915 in Großedling (nu deel van Wolfsberg) - 7 juni 1973 in Wolfsberg) was een Oostenrijkse schrijfster.

Christine Lavant was het negende kind van een mijnwerker en een kleermaakster. Zij leed vanaf haar kindheid door belemmeringen van haar gezondheid, die haar dwongen het schoolbezoek vroeg te staken. Toch was ze al op vroege leeftijd gevoelig voor literatuur en las voor haar dertiende Rilke. Na haar schooltijd hield ze zich met huiswerk, schrijven, lezen, schilderen en breien bezig. Omdat ze voor haar achttiende depressies opdeed, was zij gedwongen zich op een leven bij haar ouders in te stellen. In 1932 stuurde ze een roman naar de Uitgeverij Leykam te Graz. Omdat die ondanks een eerste goede reactie geweigerd werd, vernietigde ze alle tot dan toe geschreven teksten. Nadat haar vader in 1937 en haar moeder in 1938 overleden waren, moest ze het huis van haar ouders verlaten en probeerde ze als breister te overleven. Toch bleef ze van de steun van haar broers en zussen afhankelijk. In 1939 trouwde ze met de dertig jaar oudere kunstschilder Josef Habernig.

In 1945 begon Christine Lavant weer met schrijven. Via kennissen ontstond het contact met Brentano Verlag te Stuttgart, die in 1948 voor het eerst gedichten van haar publiceerde, onder de titel Die Nacht an den Tag. De bundel verscheen onder haar artiestennaam "Lavant", die ze ten minste vanaf 1946 gebruikt had. Met de artiestennaam wilde ze oorspronkelijk haar privéleven beschermen, maar op zijn laatst in 1950 zou die identiteit bekend zijn. De naam verklaarde ze later als toespeling op het Lavanttal, waar ze vandaan kwam. Er werden maar weinig exemplaren gedrukt en het boek is verloren geraakt. Ze volgde het advies van de uitgever om proza te schrijven, met het verhaal Das Kind (ook uit 1948). In 1949 volgden het verhaal Das Krüglein en de gedichtenbundel Die unvollendete Liebe.

Haar succesvolle lezing ter gelegenheid van de Kulturtage 1950 te St. Veit an der Glan markeerde haar doorbraak als schrijfster. Bovendien raakte ze daar met de schilder Werner Berg bekend, met wie ze een belangrijke vriendschap ontplooide. In de volgende jaren werden er een groot aantal boeken van haar bij bekende uitgeverijen zoals Otto Müller Verlag te Salzburg en dtv Verlagsgesellschaft uitgegeven. Via de kringen die de componist Gerhard Lampersberg op zijn buiten Tonhof te Maria Saal onderhield, raakte ze in contact met de Wiener Gruppe.

In 1963 werd haar man door een beroerte hulpbehoevend; een jaar later overleed hij. In die situatie raakte Christine Lavant zelf psychisch belast en koos voor een verblijf in een ziekenhuis in Klagenfurt, waar ze kennis met de FPÖ-politicus Otto Scrinzi maakte, die er arts was. Hij werd een geëngageerde begunstiger van haar. In 1966 werd haar o.a. door hem een flat in Klagenfurt aangeboden, maar in de hoogbouw en de stedelijke omgeving bleef ze zich vreemd voelen en zo keerde ze 1968 naar Wolfsberg terug. In 1970 werd haar de Großer Österreichischer Staatspreis für Literatur verstrekt.

Christine Lavant overleed in 1973 door een beroerte in het ziekenhuis te Wolfsberg.

Georgia Tech Basketball in the News
Yellow Jackets in the Pros
ACC Basketball
One of a Kind: Bobby Cremins
By Barry Jacobs
Bobby Cremins is one of a kind, as a coach and a person. And because of who he is, as much as what he did, Georgia Tech commands a prominent place in college basketball.
"We rely so much in recruiting on the tradition, on the success he's had in the past," says Paul Hewitt, his successor as coach of the Yellow Jackets. "He built the Georgia Tech tradition."
Cremins inherited a program that, while estimable under coach John "Whack" Hyder, made a single NCAA appearance prior to the young coach's arrival for the 1981-82 season. Cremins came to a school that, in its first two years of competition in the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1980 and 1981, notched a cumulative 12-41 record, 1-29 in league competition. Some Tech fans attended games wearing paper bags over their heads. A section of 2,000 seats at Alexander Memorial Coliseum often sat empty, purchased by fans at other schools so they could qualify for ACC Tournament tickets.
By the time Cremins stepped aside following the 2000 season, Tech had made 10 NCAA appearances, including nine straight from 1985 through 1993, and enjoyed a fearsome homecourt advantage at the Thrillerdome. The 1990 squad reached the Final Four for the first and only time in school history. The Jackets tied for first place in the ACC in '85 and finished alone atop the standings in 1996. They won a trio of ACC titles — in 1985, 1990 and 1993 — and posted 13 consecutive winning seasons and 15 in Cremins' 19 years on the job.
The program produced the ACC player of the year in '90 in Dennis Scott, eight rookies of the year in the 14 seasons from 1983 through 1996, 13 first team All-ACC selections, and a dozen first-round NBA draft choices.
In short, under Cremins' guidance Georgia Tech went from doormat to perennial contender, a force to be reckoned with in a tradition-rich conference. Perhaps no one in the 50-year history of ACC basketball ranks as a greater program builder.
"Bobby was a very good coach," Homer Rice, the retired Tech athletics director who hired Cremins, says. "He was a heck of a recruiter and one of the finest persons I ever worked with. He was always upbeat. He was a fighter."
"He is my all-time favorite coach in any sport. He is unpretentious, passionate, honest and caring. He will tell you what he thinks, and he usually tells you in plain words full of fun and common sense."
Dave Kindred, The Sporting News
Yet Cremins fought without rancor. He could be as animated and competitive as any of his coaching colleagues, leaping and gesturing along the sidelines throughout a game, trademark grey hair flopping wildly, but could go years without earning a technical foul.
Cremins could be painfully honest, particularly about his own shortcomings or those of his team. Following one particularly decisive road defeat, Cremins actually apologized. "It's a great league and I was embarrassed for the league," he said. "I was embarrassed for Georgia Tech. I was embarrassed for all my friends."
He could be stunningly mindless of appearance, as when he conducted a media teleconference from the comfort of a bathtub, the acoustics giving him away. He could be uncommonly casual, inviting movie stars and others into his locker room to chat immediately prior to a game.
Other coaches sagely revealed their technical expertise. Cremins, almost devoid of pretense, made little effort to impress listeners with his grasp of X's and O's. Sometimes he forgot the names of opposing players, or whether they were even in the game at key junctures.
Still, he was three times voted the ACC coach of the year (1983, 1985, 1996), a total exceeded only by two Hall of Fame coaches, North Carolina's Dean Smith and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski. Cremins brought his infectious grin and easily mimicked Bronx accent to Atlanta a year after Krzyzewski arrived at Duke and Jim Valvano landed at N.C. State.
"Everybody thought I was crazy," he says of his decision to leave a successful perch at Appalachian State in Boone, N.C, for a foundering program in a power league, "but I felt like the ACC was just a great conference. Tech was a great academic school, sometimes too hard. And then of course the city of Atlanta, Atlanta is a big-time city. I thought the job had a lot of things to offer."
"Bobby Cremins is a genuine star. He is truly one of the great coaches in ACC history and certainly one of the most well-liked. He put Georgia Tech on the map and helped raise the level of play in the ACC to make it the premier basketball conference in the country."
Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski
So he became one of what he calls "the young guns" who soon transformed the balance of power in the ACC.
"To me, Tech became my American dream," Cremins says. "Coaching at Georgia Tech was me living the American dream. It was also a personal dream for me to coach in the league I played in. Coaching at Georgia Tech also fulfilled that."
Cremins had played guard at South Carolina, finishing in 1970, a year before the Gamecocks left the ACC. "I owe everything to Frank McGuire," Cremins says of his coach. "He gave me my start, he gave me my opportunity."
South Carolina was heavily favored to win the 1970 ACC title and advance to the Final Four. McGuire, who coached an undefeated UNC team to the 1957 NCAA championship, called the '70 USC squad his best ever. But the Gamecocks were stopped in the ACC Tournament final, defeated in overtime by N.C. State after the ball was stolen from Cremins. Only one team from each league was invited to the NCAAs back then; South Carolina went nowhere.
"Not winning an ACC championship my senior year almost ruined my life," Cremins recalls. "Unfortunately, I still have nightmares about that. Not as bad as it used to be."
So when he built Tech's program to competitive status, going from cellar to title in four years, Cremins felt both satisfaction and relief. "That meant we had arrived," he says of the 1985 ACC Tournament championship. "Everybody said we couldn't beat North Carolina the third time (that season). It was right there in Atlanta. To me personally, one of the reasons I wanted to coach in the ACC was to win an ACC championship ring that I lost as a player…
"In '85, when that game was over, that was the championship I lost. I'll always remember thinking about that. It took a lot of pain away for me."
Tech's transformation began with the arrival of a pair of key recruits, Brooklyn big man John Salley and Oklahoma guard Mark Price, who in 1983, aided by a short, experimental 3-pointer, became the first and only freshman to pace the ACC in scoring. "There were not a lot of expectations," Cremins remembers, "so anything we did was a positive. Obviously, getting Mark Price and John Salley, that's what started it all. Those two guys put us on the map."
"Not only did he build the program to a place of respectability and power, he did it quickly and without any hint of impropriety. Everything he did, he did with honor and dignity and with great class."
Wake Forest head coach Dave Odom
The good times rolled with refreshing warmth, producing dais scenes at post-game press conferences where players draped arms around their coach's shoulders and teased him with little compunction. "It's more like an older brother-younger brother relationship," Salley said in 1985. "He's more than a coach."
The parade of exceptional players continued unabated — Bruce Dalrymple, Duane Ferrell, Tom Hammonds, Brian Oliver, Dennis Scott — as Cremins conjured talented groups of prep stars and gave them the freedom to learn and grow on the court.
The arrival of New York playmaker Kenny Anderson, perhaps the nation's top prospect, put the finishing touches on a 1989-90 squad that advanced to the Final Four.
"Kenny Anderson, we knew once he arrived on campus he was special," Cremins says. "Dennis had some weight problems the first two years, and he lost some weight and he was a different player. And Oliver was the heart and soul. You could just tell that those three guys on the court were really something. It was almost like you didn't have to coach."
The trio, dubbed "Lethal Weapon 3," accounted for 79 percent of Tech's scoring and became the first trio of 20-point scorers on one ACC team. Big men Johnny McNeil and Malcolm Mackey and reserve guard Karl Brown got the bulk of the playing time in a supportive role.
The Jackets finished 28-7, the most victories by a Tech squad. Scott led the ACC in scoring with a 27.7-point average, highest in 15 years. Anderson was the 1990 Rookie of the Year and the second freshman ever voted first-team all-ACC. Oliver was the MVP of the ACC Tournament.
"They're fun to watch play, unless you have to be on the other sideline," said Virginia's Terry Holland. Cremins and the Yellow Jackets visibly enjoyed the ride. "I just wish we could bottle it and save it," Oliver said of the experience.
The Jackets led UNLV, the eventual champs, by seven at halftime, but fell, 90-81 in the national semifinals. "I remember after the game I said, 'OK, we learned a lot," Cremins says. "'We'll get back next year.'"
But Scott left a year early to enter the pro draft following the 1990 season. "That was a shocker," Cremins says. "Those things weren't happening too often during that time…It was something we weren't real prepared for, and we did slip."
"The guy is genuine and likable. I've never met another coach who didn't like Bobby. In a profession like this, there are not many guys you can say that about."
Former ACC commissioner Gene Corrigan
Other talented players kept coming, even as Anderson left in '91 following his sophomore season. A group keyed by forward James Forrest and point guard Travis Best surprised everyone by winning the 1993 ACC title. Mackey, '93 Rookie of the Year Martice Moore, and Drew Barry were the other major components of the squad.
There were distractions, however. South Carolina was courting Cremins to return as its head coach. He vacillated for months. Tech got bounced in its NCAA opener by Southern University, coached by Ben Jobe, a former Cremins assistant. Shortly afterward Cremins announced he was going to his alma mater. Almost as quickly, he said he couldn't bear to abandon folks at Georgia Tech and did an about-face.
"The South Carolina thing, that personally knocked me out for a good three to four months," Cremins says. "That was the worst period of my life. That was my mid-life crisis."
Tech's run of nine straight NCAA bids ended in 1994. Another blow landed in 1995 when, despite a .500 record and fifth-place in a league that saw a four-way tie for first, the Jackets were snubbed by the NCAA Tournament selection committee.
Then, in a move that surprised Cremins, premier guard prospect Stephon Marbury committed to Georgia Tech. Once Marbury meshed in the backcourt with Drew Barry, they led a squad with sophomore forwards Matt Harpring and Mike Maddox and junior center Eddie Elisma to a first-place ACC finish and a berth in the 1996 ACC Tournament final. "We just got on a roll that was really, really fun," Cremins says.
The '96 Jackets returned to the NCAAs for what proved the last time under Cremins, as again an early departure for the NBA, this time by Marbury after a single season, proved debilitating.
Untimely injury, another early departure by Dion Glover, and recruiting stumbles took their toll. "I said to myself one time, if we ever don't go to the Big Dance four straight years, then I need to take a hard look at what I'm doing," Cremins says.
So, with a handful of games remaining in the 2000 season, he announced his retirement as Georgia Tech coach effective at year's end. A one-point loss in the ACC Tournament play-in game, accompanied by a standing ovation from the appreciative crowd, concluded a tenure that produced a 354-237 record, more victories at an ACC post than anyone except Smith and Krzyzewski.
Georgia Tech celebrated Bobby Cremins Day on March 8, 2003, by dedicating the Alexander Memorial Coliseum court in his name. Many former players and coaches, including Mark Price and former head coach Paul Hewitt participated in the ceremony.
"I think in my 28 years as a head coach, I have never met a more honorable opponent or great guy than Bobby Cremins," Krzyzewski, a fierce rival, says. "I love him and adore him. Look, I'm about to cry. He made me cry a lot."
Cremins, intent on leaving Tech "the right way," as he put it, moved to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina and kept his distance from Georgia Tech basketball. "When I left Tech, I wanted to cut all ties. I wanted Paul Hewitt to have his own program and get out of his way."
Removed from the limelight, Cremins spent more time with wife Carolyn, continued his avid reading, became a golfing regular, considered a few coaching offers, and stayed close to the game by getting involved in television broadcasting. "I do miss the action sometimes," he admits.
He went on to do color commentary on ACC and Southern Conference games for Raycom and Fox Sports South, as well as studio shows. (But the desire to coach led him to take the reins of the program at the College of Charleston, which he led from 2006-12 before retiring for good.)
"We have a life of leisure and luxury," Cremins says. "We have a great life. I live on the Intracoastal Waterway. It's just a beautiful place. My wife and I are very happy here."
Meanwhile, almost as soon as Hewitt was hired Georgia Tech athletics director Dave Braine broached the idea of honoring Cremins. "The fact of the matter is, it's the right thing to do," says Hewitt, who thoroughly endorses the idea of naming the court at Alexander after his predecessor. "I guess it's a way for us to say thanks for all the things he did at Georgia Tech."
Cremins may have kept his distance, but Hewitt finds the former coach is always available and supportive when needed. "I can't tell you how much of a help he's been," Hewitt says. "That's the type of person he is."
That personal generosity, plus good staffs, a penchant for attracting outstanding players, and a gift of leadership helped Georgia Tech build the national profile it enjoys today.

Is there a way to do the same with Zinc and the ZnStaticFileServerDelegate ?
I uploaded some changes to http://www.squeaksource.com/ZincHTTPComponents that allow Zinc to serve both Seaside requests and static files from the same server adaptor.
> Yes. There is a way.
Thanks for this contribution, I think it is really useful.
I did some merging and some small changes (like making wwwRootDirectory a variable).
So it would be best to update.
Do you have a blog or could you pubish a short writeup of how to use this as you envisioned it ?
I don't have a blog and I'm not doing anything sophisticated with it.
I uploaded the revised Zinc-Seaside package.
>> Yes. There is a way.

Thanks for the contribution (again).
Yes, this is useful, having an expiration time per mime-type seems a bit heavy, but OK.
BTW, we (or I) definitively need to add If-Modified-Since and 304 Not Modified behavior to ZnZincStaticServerAdaptor.
And I know that you know, but let me repeat that in production situations you definitively have to let apache or nginx serve the statis files, to take load of Seaside.
Your hack in ZnSeasideStaticServerAdaptorDelegate>>#handleRequest: lets Seaside first try and make an error before you consider static file serving, this almost defeats the purpose of not doing it by Seaside itself. Just a hunch, I haven't tested or benchmarked this.
But I know you want this for easier development setup, and it is instructive code for others as well.
> Thanks for the contribution (again).
You're welcome. Thanks for doing the bulk of the work.

#responseForFileNamed: method to just use it. I'm happy for any revisions.
> BTW, we (or I) definitively need to add If-Modified-Since and 304 Not Modified behavior to ZnZincStaticServerAdaptor.
OK. I added that to the version I just uploaded.

Its certainly a niche market/product.

I'll have a look later on (I have little time this weekend).
We also need at least one simple test (another one of Marcus' quotes; if there is no actively run test, it does not exist). We just need an extra version of #testIfModifiedSinceNotModified directly on a local server, it will require some setup, be it should be doable.

Yes, your use case is perfectly valid.

You can write a request handler that writes on the response stream.
startOn: andServeFilesFrom: does not exist anymore, right?
I guess it's useful Seaside could serve also static files in a development environment.
>> I don't have a blog and I'm not doing anything sophisticated with it.

>> I uploaded the revised Zinc-Seaside package.
> startOn: andServeFilesFrom: does not exist anymore, right?
You are right, I supposed it was on Zinc packages, so I upgraded Zinc only, instead I have to update Seaside.
I created testDir under the location of my image then I created in / but both times when I point the browser on http://localhost:8080/testDir/ I receive a "Not Found"
> receive a "Not Found"
Who owns '/testDir' and can your Pharo process read from there?
might stick a file in that testDir and see if you can access it.
>>> startOn: andServeFilesFrom: does not exist anymore, right?
Same response. But is testDir to be created under the image?
Sorry I haven't seen this message.
* I created testDir under the image file.
* The script is ZnZincStaticServerAdaptor startOn: 8080 andServeFilesFrom: 'testDir'.

Q: Unable to access vue component from a jsp page I'm trying to implement a vue component in my jsp page. I have tried to access a js file having import, export statement(s) using type="module" to script tag and file has been successfully loaded and executed. but when executing the import statement in that js file, it's returning below error in console :
Failed to load module script: The server responded with a non-JavaScript MIME type of "". Strict MIME type checking is enforced for module scripts per HTML spec.
Below is my jsp code
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

Below is the piece of code in js file
import OpsAssignList from './src/AssignList.vue'

OpsAssignList.install = function install(Vue) {
  Vue.component(OpsAssignList.name, OpsAssignList)
};

export default OpsAssignList

Note : I would like to use my vue-component in my existing jsp page and as well as our standalone project. So i'm trying to access the vue component using js file consisting of importing the component etc.
How can achieve both using this procedure ? got struck in my development activities.
Attached the image of browser console for reference

A: When you loading Vue as like this.

Then you have to keep all in .js files. Dont write import statements.Even webpack will do same process after build all es6 will convert to js and it will include in kind of app.87cbdfb9.js

And this will include in your main index.html file like above
** For Standalone without webpack ***
then follow like this

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

  <template id="assign-list">

test

  </template>

Your AssignList.js file should like
var AssignList = Vue.component('assign-list',
  {
    template: '#assign-list', // should match the ID of template tag
    data: function()
    {

    },
    methods:
    {
    }
  });

TIME: "Should Medical Debt Hurt Your Credit?" -- Or your employment status!
TIME: "Should Medical Debt Hurt Your Credit?"
And as Beth Givens, director of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, pointed out in a recent interview, the inclusion of medical debt on a credit report also has the potential to harm people looking for a job. With unemployment still high, a company might opt not to hire a person whose credit report indicates a possible health problem."
Re: TIME: "Should Medical Debt Hurt Your Credit?" -- Or your employment status!
They shouldn't be looking at people's credit reports without their permission. This is damaging. Do you all realize that if you were to apply for a loan of any kind or need to move to a new apt. and fill out a credit app and it comes back with several check against it, a: it lowers your score, b: unless you give permission, they cannot legally do it. Just more illegalities thrust upon the unemployed, discrimination being the number 1.
I do not understand why the HIPAA laws do not prevent employers from seeing any medical debt on one's credit report. Employer-run credit reports are only outlawed in a few states. This practice must be banned on the national level.
