Hinguere is a abstract strategy board game for two players in which the playing pieces known as dips are placed to the board. A player wins by making the opponent to the state which he can not place any more dips to the board. Boards may vary in size or shape, most often used Hinguere-board is the same as in chess.
Each player have total 21 dips, which one is a starting dip, called kadip, and other are five times four different kind of playing dips. Once placed on the board, each dip will effect surrounding squares with expansion zones and attacking zones, that usually are depicted by graph printed on the top of the dip.
There are three rules, that will tell how player can place dips, and they are following
* Dip must not be placed on the square if it contains a dip already.
* Dip must be placed on own expansion zone.
* Dip must not be placed on opponents attack zone.
Game starts by players placing their starting dips on to the board. Next they will take turns to place playing dips according the previous three rules.
In case player places a dip so that it's attacking zone hits opponents dip, the opponents dip will fall.
Falling means that the dip is removed from the board and added back to players dips so he can use it again. Also every dip in the expansion zones of the fallen dip will fall. And so on.
Hinguere was developed by a finnish mathematics student Pauli Suuraho in 2006 and has been gaining popularity in the University of Helsinki maths and computer science department as research subject due complexity of game logic.

The "Amway Children Charity Foundation" is a bogus charity cited in email solicitations attempting to deceive individuals into sending money or providing personal financial information to the scam artist.
Amway Corporation, now known in the US and Canada as Quixtar Corporation, released a statement in February 2008 warning that
: this is not an Amway-sanctioned program and the name, program and people indicated in the e-mails are not related to Amway in any way and do not have Amway’s authority or support.
According to Amway, the intended victim typically receives an email stating that he or she has been been awarded a grant to help establish a children’s help center to assist poor children in the area. The email requests banking account information. If the recipient responds, an indemnity bond of several hundred euros is demanded. The e-mails are often signed by a "grant processing officer", sometimes using the specific name "Dr. Kevin Brown".
Fraudulent activities involving payment or release of personal financial information can be committed electronically from a remote location, including overseas. Committing these activities in cyberspace allows scam artists to act quickly and cover their tracks before the victim becomes aware of the theft.
This type of scheme is identified by the FBI as an advance fee fraud, which occurs when the victim pays money to someone in anticipation of receiving something of greater value, such as a grant, loan or gift, and then receives little or nothing in return.
Amway's statement concludes:
"The 'Amway Children Charity Foundation' email is known to have been circulated by e-mail in Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. Amway advises recipients to not respond or reply in any way. Amway is currently investigating the origin of the scam and authorities have been notified. If you have information or questions about this scam, please contact Amway through its Corporate Communications Department at (616) 787-7565."

alt.sysadmin.recovery, or ASR, is a Usenet newsgroup dedicated to the mental and emotional recovery of sysadmins. The anagram name Scary Devil Monastery is also very common, as many of the group's members, in the words of the Jargon file, "rather justify the reference". In the words of the ASR FAQ, "Think of it as a virtual pub where we can all go after hours and gripe about our job." Many sysadmins consider the profession to be quite stressful. Commonly cited sources of stress include having to deal with lusers, coworkers, marketing weenies, and PHBs; brain damaged products; and customer dis-service from vendors.
The official motto of ASR is ‘Down, not Across’.
The name stems from the term "recovery" as used by many addiction support groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous. A concept frequently put forward by such groups is that one is a "recovering" addict. Some say that only with great effort can one become "recovered"; others say that one never truly recovers. An early description for the group thus read "For recovered and recovering system administrators". (As of 2005, the description is "Getting over the trauma of system administration".) In ASR, one is only "recovered" if one has quit sysadmin work for another profession. Exactly how seriously any given member takes this view varies.
ASR is a place where BOFHs, gurus, IT managers, and other professional computer geeks can come to unwind. Actual computer-related discussion is fairly rare — in fact, such "Unrecovery Information" (UI) is considered off-topic and strictly taboo. The reuse of the abbreviation for User Interface is probably deliberate. "Useful Information" (another alternate expansion for UI) is greatly savored and enjoyed, as long as it is not work-related.
Some aspects of the common behavior on this newsgroup can make it annoying or hard for the casual browser coming from outside to enter the community. This is intentional: Members do not want to be bothered by people looking for technical help, nor do they want their rants associated with their professional careers. Many participants set the "No-Archive" header flag on in their postings, meaning that public archives (e.g., Google Groups) contain frequent gaps in the message threads.
The use of acronyms, footnotes and ROT13 is rampant. For instance, it seems to be regarded as taboo to give any company or product name, or Web address, in plain, cleartext form. The ostensible goal of this obfuscation is to make it harder for a person looking for technical help to stumble into the newsgroup by mistake: a search for "Linux" will not find the ROT13ism "Yvahk". More obtuse are references to chickens and blood sacrifices.

The band Born Loco mixes metal, hardcore and aggressive raps.
The band has gained a lot of live experience since its foundation in 2000. BL won the band competition Rondje Flevoland in 2001 and played in venues like Hedon (Zwolle), Paradiso (Amsterdam) as well as the Liberation Day Festival Almere.
Early 2002 BL made a line-up change and began developing a heavier, tighter sound. The result of this change can be heard on the promo Revolution in Reverse, which was released in 2003 and received a lot positive reviews of well-known magazines and e-zines.
After producing a professional music video for the song Paradox, the promo was released as a single by FreeMusic/BMG in March 2004.
In March 2005 Born Loco released the 4-track EP Fueled by Despise which was presented during two release parties in Almere and Amersfoort. In August 2005 BL recorded the song Tear it Apart for the Dutch horror movie Dood Eind which will appear in Dutch cinemas in 2006. In this movie Born Loco also has a guest appearance as Cujo, the band from one of the main characters.
