#Forty-Eighters

[inquixotic]

after less than forty eighter hours earlier telling him he had no interest in rhys and flirting with him really the first actual chance he got, seb sort of feels like an ass. he likes dylan well enough, even if he would not particularly call any of the others a friend, he doesn’t particularly want to split those two up. “so...naomi?” his eyebrows are raised, partially asking to ease the ill feelings that were sat at the bottom of his stomach. if he didn’t know better, he might call it guilt. “are you two actually giving it a shot?”  

day 24, with @cruelsxmmcr​ !

22. nap

Hi anon thank you sm <33

(send me a number and I'll write a short fic for it)

Buck smiles at Eddie and he can only hope it says everything he can’t out loud. 

If you’d asked him even five minutes ago, he would have assured you that since attending therapy he could process his emotions properly, but looking at Eddie, that didn’t seem to be quite the case. He's sitting side by side with him in the ladder truck, knees knocking, and his heart's brimming with so much love he doesn’t know what to do with it all.

Eddie stifles a yawn with the back of his hand, his hair dishevelled and the crease of the seam of Bucks's shirt still pressed red into his cheek from the midday nap they were taking. It was the kind that only ever happened on the tail end of a forty-eighter, the kind that always left them sleep warm and disorientated.

Eddie returns it with a lopsided smile of his own.

Chapter 10. Outside Income

When Intelligence gets pulled in to solve a case that another unit can't seem to close, evidence quickly begins to suggest that the gang they're investigating has man on the inside. But what shouldn't be a big deal, Intelligence is known for rooting out corruption, quickly becomes a very big deal when something goes very, very wrong.

Read on AO3 here.

Back at 21, Voight drags Marston down to the roll-up and Antonio hovers behind him as he throws the man in the cage, standing menacingly in front of it.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” the man stammers, glancing over to Antonio, “Why’s he looking at me like that? You got Halstead back, right? He’s okay?”

“Halstead.” Voight intones, “is in the ICU on a ventilator right now. Your buddies left him inhaling chlorine gas for a couple of hours.”

“Look, hey, that’s got nothing to do with me. They promised me he wouldn’t get hurt.”

“I don’t care what they promised you.” Voight growls, “He was there because of you. And now he’s got a machine breathing for him while the docs try their damnedest to reverse the damage. And even if he lives, his career might be over. So you’re going to tell me everything you know about the forty-eighters and their operation or I’m going to turn you inside out.”

“I..I can’t do that. They’ll kill me.”

“I think you should be more concerned about what I’ll do to you.”

He turns to Antonio.

“You’re not going to let him do this are you? I helped you guys find Halstead.”

“After you set him up to be kidnapped.” Antonio scoffs.

“I never meant for him to get hurt.”

“Look Marston. Even if I wanted to help you, which honestly I don’t, there’s nothing I can do. There is one person left on this planet who can calm him down when he gets like this, and you put him in a coma. So I would tell him what he wants to know.”

Marston glances anxiously between the two of them.

“Now tell me about the Riders.” Voight snarls, unlocking the cage. “Or I’m gonna tell you about what I do to people who hurt my team.”

Hailey looks up as the door swings open.

Voight is standing there, watching Jay with distant eyes.

“Everything okay?” she asks.

“Team is chasing down leads on the Riders.” he tells her. “Marston gave everything up. Guess he’s more afraid of me than he is of them.”

Hailey allows a smirk.

“How’s he doing?” Voight asks, nodding at Jay.

“He’s hanging in there.” she says, rubbing her thumb distractedly over the back of her partner’s hand. “Ethan says the swelling in his throat is going down. The skin irritation is getting worse, especially where they branded him, but he doesn’t think it’s going to be an issue. Just painful for him when he finally wakes up.”

“Do they have an idea when that might be?”

“They’ve taken him off the sedation.” she says. “Now that the swelling is better. Ethan says they could probably remove the breathing tube any time but he’s like to see him awake first. And when that happens is up to him now.”

“What about his lungs?”

“Fluid levels are better.” Hailey tells him. “They’re keeping the fluid drained with the chest tube and its accumulating slower.”

“You’re doing good, kid.” Voight says, resting a hand on Jay’s shoulder. “You just keep getting better and I’ll make sure the assholes that did this to you live to pay for it.”

Jay doesn’t react but Voight just nods.

“You’re safe now, Jay. You can wake up whenever you’re ready.” he tells him, bending down to kiss the top of Jay’s head.

“You staying with him?” he asks without looking at her.

“I’m not going anywhere.” she promises.

“Good.” he answers, squeezing Jay’s shoulder one more time before stepping toward the door. “Then I’m gonna go knock some heads.”

“Break some bones for me too.” she says, squeezing her partner’s hand. “For both of us.”

“I will.” he promises.

Hailey sits up, rubbing her eyes and wondering both when she’d fallen asleep and what had woken her.

Then Jay’s hand twitches in hers and she leans forward, squeezing tightly.

“Jay?” she asks.

His eyes are twitching, mouth moving around the tube.

“Jay, can you open your eyes?”

His head rolls slightly toward her but otherwise he doesn’t respond to her. He’s clearly distressed, trapped somewhere close to the surface but not quite there yet.

“It’s okay, Jay.” she soothes. “It’s okay, you’re safe. You take as long as you need, I will be right here waiting for you.”

His hand squeezes hers and she lifts their hands to kiss the back of it.

“I’m right here, partner. And I’m not going anywhere.” she promises.

His eyes press tightly closed and then he’s choking.

“Jay!” she exclaims, hitting the call button. “It’s okay. You can breathe, the tube is helping you breathe but you need to stop fighting it.”

He just keeps choking and gagging, hands coming up to grab at the tube. Hailey tightens her grip on the hand she’s holding, pulling his hand back down and reaches over to grab his other hand.

“It’s okay, Jay.” she promises, looking up at the nurses as they come in before turning her attention back to her partner. “Can you open your eyes, please?”

His eyes slowly blink open, tracking over to meet hers, filled with fear and panic.

“I know.” she says, gently squeezing his hand. “Just try to relax.”

He blinks back at her, mouth moving around the tube but he’s calming, breathing easier and she rubs her thumb across the back of his hand.

“That’s it.” she praises. “I know it’s uncomfortable but we’ll get it out as soon as we can.”

“How about right now?” Ethan asks from the doorway.

Jay’s gaze jumps over and Hailey offers him a smile.

“See?”

“Swelling is all but gone and your lungs are doing well with the chest tube.” Ethan says. “I think you’re ready to breathe on your own. What do you think?”

Jay nods, a tiny, jerking movement limited by the tube.

The Baddest Of All Cincinnati Badasses: Major General August Willich

He was born into German nobility as Johann August Ernst von Willich. Rumor had it that he was the illegitimate son of the Prussian crown prince. Before he died in obscure poverty, Willich:

Gave up his noble name,

Led two revolutionary armies,

Challenged Karl Marx to a duel,

Raised two regiments during the Civil War,

Defeated the Texas Rangers in battle,

Conducted rifle drills – on the battlefield,

Endured months in a Confederate prison,

Defied exile by returning to Germany, and

Volunteered at age 60 to fight in the Franco-Prussian War.

August Willich was the proletarian name he adopted to show solidarity with the working classes. He amazed everyone who met him. His family, as indicated by that “von,” was noble and Willich lived up to their expectations for 38 years. He was born in 1810 in East Prussia, now part of Poland, in a town on the Baltic coast. By the age of three, he was an orphan, and was adopted by  Friedrich Schleiermacher, an acclaimed theologian and philosopher, who provided Willich with an excellent classical education. As a teenager, Willich was sent off to Potsdam and Berlin for a military education and he served 19 years in the Prussian army, rising to the rank of captain.

By 1846, Willich’s study of philosophy had convinced him that the oppression of workingmen was unbearable, so he resigned his military commission. His letter of resignation was so strongly worded that, rather than accept it, the Prussian army had him arrested and court-martialed.

Willich was eventually allowed to leave military service and he took up the tools of a carpenter, marching past his old battalion with an axe, rather than a rifle over his shoulder. In 1848, revolution broke out in many places throughout Europe, and Willich volunteered to lead a democratic army in a failed attempt to expunge royalty from the Baden-Palatinate region. Throughout these ultimately unsuccessful campaigns, Willich’s aide de camp was Friedrich Engels, later co-author of the Communist Manifesto.

Imperial forces suppressed the revolution and Willich, like many “Forty-Eighters,” found himself exiled, first to Switzerland and then to England. Introduced to Karl Marx by his former aide, Willich quickly assumed a leadership role in the socialist organization taking root among the German exiles. Willich found Marx way too conservative.

Mary Gabriel, in her 2011 book, “Love and Capital: Karl and Jenny Marx and the Birth of a Revolution,” describes the friction between the two revolutionaries:

“At the same time Willich was turning to extremists for support, he also made overtures to the petit bourgeois democrats Marx and Engels had thrown off their refugee committee the previous year. Willich lobbied the committee to once again join with the democrats, arguing that a unified position would strengthen their efforts. When his idea was rejected, he resigned in a huff from the Communist League’s Central Authority. Several days later, however, apparently looking for a fight, Willich attended a league meeting, where he proceeded to insult Marx and finally challenge him to a duel.”

Marx and Willich never met on the field of honor, but Willich wounded a young Marxist in a proxy gunfight fought in Belgium. With his welcome in London worn out, Willich sailed for America where, after a few years as a carpenter in the Brooklyn shipyards and as a mathematician with the U.S. coastal survey, he accepted an invitation to edit a German-language Republican newspaper in Cincinnati.

When the Civil War erupted, Cincinnati Germans responded so quickly that, within a week, 1,500 men had enlisted in what became the legendary Ninth Ohio Infantry Regiment, known as “Die Neuner.” Although Willich was among the more experienced recruits, another man, the only non-German in the regiment, was selected as commander – a political decision made in hopes of speeding up delivery of supplies and weaponry. Although he drilled the Ninth and marched with them into Virginia, Willich resigned to assume command of another German regiment, Indiana’s Thirty-Second.

At Chickamauga, Perrysville and Missionary Ridge, Willich’s troops earned a reputation as hard-fighting, disciplined soldiers. In the Battle of Green River, three companies of Willich’s men routed 8,000 Confederate troops led by the Texas Rangers cavalry.

At Shiloh, Willich performed a feat of leadership that astounded General Lew Wallace, who witnessed it first-hand. Plunging into the fiercest fighting, Willich’s troops began to falter and give way. A rout was imminent but, as Wallace wrote in his autobiography:

“Then an officer rode swiftly round their left flank and stopped when in front of them, his back to the enemy. What he said I could not hear, but from the motions of the men he was putting them through the manual of arms – this notwithstanding some of them were dropping in the ranks. Taken all in all, that I think was the most audacious thing that came under my observation during the war. The effect was magical.”

In the Battle of Stones River, Willich’s horse was shot out from beneath him and he was captured. He spent months in prison but used the time to design a new method of rapid-fire attack he implemented as soon as he was freed in a prisoner exchange. Willich also pioneered the use of bugle calls to direct troops in battle. When he was mustered out, he held the rank of brevet major general. His right arm, wounded in battle in Georgia, was mostly paralyzed for the rest of his life.

After the war, Willich served briefly as Hamilton County Auditor, neglecting the many opportunities to get rich from that position. According to the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune [24 January 1878]:

“Impracticable – like a child in matters of finance – he squandered the generous proceeds of his office in visionary business schemes and on his friends, and retired with very little. His intimate friends say of him that he would throw away a hundred thousand a year if he had it, and that he could live on a hundred a year if he had to.”

When France and Germany went to war in 1870, Willich was at the University of Berlin, defying his banishment to study philosophy. He approached the emperor to volunteer his services, but his age, infirmity and – no doubt – his Communist past led to rejection.

Willich returned to Cincinnati and later moved to St. Mary’s, Ohio, where he boarded with his former adjutant, Charles Hipp, and studied philosophy and music. On his death, the New York Times [24 January 1878] stated:

“Gen. Willich was undoubtedly the ablest and bravest officer of German descent engaged in the war of the rebellion, and owed his preferment wholly to his untiring energy, bravery in the field, and marked abilities.”

The Haymarket Affair

So? For a bit of context, I wrote this after asking people on the offical Assassin’s Creed Forums to give me a time period/an historical event and I’d try to write up the synopsis of a game that could happen during this time. So yeah, there’s a lot of historical context and assassin’s creed related stuff too lol

Also you’ll notice the synospsis isn’t finished yet, it’s on my to do list

Also also there are a few links to wikipédia articles on some historical events and stuff

---

For anyone who might not be American (just like me) and wonder what the heck is the Haymarket affair (just like me before I started this research), here’s a link to the wikipedia page, but basically; May 4th 1886, in Chicago, there was a protestation meant to be peaceful organised by the labour rights movements to obtain the 8h workdays (which in the end was only obtained in the 1950’s in America if I recall properly), things went sour when someone from the crowd threw a bomb at the policers, killing one of them, which led to a massacre as the law enforcers shot in the crowd. Now, without further ado…

Our story begins with the industrial revolution and the advent of steam engines. With the arrival of more industries everyday and the rapid growth of metropolises all over Occident, a new world divide imposed itself. Money now ruled the world, labours were now the new serfs and industrials the kings and queens. The Templars were amongst the first to catch the trend and we saw the birth of many groups such as Starrick Industries all over the globe, which tilted the fight in favour of the Order, much to the Brotherhood’s dismay. As the upper classes were overflowing with Templars, the Assassins saw an increase of initiates coming from the lower working classes.

It’s in 1868 that the Brotherhood shifted the balance for the first time ever since the start of the revolution, as the Frye twins single handedly caused the downfall of British Rite as they took back London for the first time in a century, but it was only the start of the fight. After all, Britain in those times may have been the center of the world, but it wasn’t its entirety.

Born on March 25th 1865, our hero, Aloys Müller, is the grandson of German Forty-Eighter who had been forced in exile to Chicago following the failed March Revolution. Being from a poor family (most Forty-Eighters that arrived in America had lost everything while fleeing their homeland), Aloys started working alongside his father and older brother at the factory at the age of 9. It's on his 13th birthday that an accident occurred and he lost his father,  forcing his brother and him to be the providers for their mother and their younger siblings. (I was thinking that they could have been the two oldest sons of a family of 8 since families in those times rarely were with few kids, now, if we talk about “what if this was an ac game”, I feel like the first sequence/the intro of the game would be about the protag and his brother trying to free their father from whatever machinery is killing him.)

Constantly struggling to keep their family afloat, the two brothers would slowly gravitate towards socialists groups, participating in all sorts of protestations and riots. In 1882, they ended up preparing and participating in a protestation that quickly turned riot and caused the death of the eldest at the hands of police officers that came to disband it. Now alone to provide for the family, our protagonist drifted towards anarchy and met the assassin August Spies who saw in him the perfect initiate and introduced him to the brotherhood in 1883. (Here we could have the second sequence/the real proper first sequence be centered around Aloys preparing the rally/riot with his brother. I feel like they'd have to share the information around while making sure the Pinkerton agency (more on them later) try to stop them. During the actual protestation, some infiltrated Pinkerton agents would sort of be responsible for the protestation going South and we'd have a memory with the hero trying to escape the chaos alive with his brother… and we all know how that goes.)

I'm taking a brief pause here to explain the concept for the Templar’s allies in this story. Now this is an agency that still exists so in the optic of making a game that wouldn't get anyone in trouble legally, the detective agency would have a different name most likely. What agency, you asks? The Pinkerton agency, I say. So basically, during the industrial revolution(s), the agency would infiltrate socialist and anarchist groups AND factories to keep an eye on the worker class and stop them from “revolting”. They'd usually be employed by rich industrials to impede the walk towards syndicalisation and, in a few occasions, they prove to be damn good at it. As a matter of fact, it is said that a pinkerton agent might have been the one responsible for the going sour of the haymarket protests, but more on that later. Since we already know templars basically rule the place with their companies and such, the Pinkerton detective agency works super great with the idea of being an extension of the order. Let's go back to our story now, shall we?

It is to avenge his brother that Aloys joined the Brotherhood since Pinkerton was their main target as of late. In the following months, he worked his way through the agency’s ranks, taking down a few minor leaders here and there, but nothing that could be deemed big as of yet. In 1884, he went to Buchtel to take part in the Great Hocking Valley Coal Strike that was taking place. Aloys took down several scab workers and several armed guards defending them, before helping the strikers to set seven mines on fire and blowing three railroads. The entire riot culminated when Aloys blew the last railroad, killing one of the leading figures of the Order and drew their attention (and wrath) for good to the Chicago bureau. 9 months after the start of the strike, the workers gave up and Aloys was called back to Chicago by the Brotherhood. ((Here the sequence could start off with the player having to hunt down a kill a few minor Pinkertons, nothing too complicated, before they get to Buchtel and take part in the riot. In one memory they’d have to protect the strikers from the armed guards while in the next on they’d be preparing and setting the mines on fire, the last one culminating with them killing the templar by blowing him up with the railroad.)

Needless to say, the Brotherhood wasn’t so pleased with Aloys’ reckless actions during the past months and his blatant disrespect to the Creed (after all, the scab workers were innocents and he certainly did compromise the Brotherhood when he blew those railroads off…) tensions arose between the different members of the bureau, some, like Adolph Fischer, Albert Parson, Michael and many more, sharing the rather anarchist views of August and Aloys, the others favourising the more tempered and less destructive approach, lead by [SOMEONE]. As time passed, the constant in-fighting ultimately led to the splitting up of the bureau, August and Aloys leaving with their own small following against the rest of the brotherhood’s wishes. They founded their own bureau, full of anarchists of all kinds amongst which we were to find the men that were ultimately accused of the Haymarket massacre.

What's in Bally's Las Vegas Hotel and 카지노사이트?

One could argue that these were the first poster like graphic designs. Europeans changed the design of Mameluke cards into the court cards using king , chevalier , and knave characters . Players possessing sufficient skills to eliminate the inherent long-term disadvantage (the house edge or vigorish) in a casino game are referred to as advantage players. Many establishments advertise with a billboard when the progressive jackpot is high enough. In comparison to Spanish, Italian, German, as well as Swiss playing cards, French cards are the near widespread due to a geopolitical, commercial, and cultural influence of France, the United Kingdom, and the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries.

In order for a player to continue playing, the dealt hand has to place a new bet (call bet) that is double the ante bet. One of the best and safest strategies for novice players to play a winning hand at Caribbean Stud Poker, is to always play either with AKJ or higher. https://www.washingtonpost.com/newssearch/?query=퍼스트카지노 After 1938, the popularity of this fifth suit fell off and the decks were no longer produced for Bridge. The title of a science-fiction novel by James Blish, Jack of Eagles, refers to the main character being different. This is usually done one of three ways: by placing an ordinary bet and simply declaring it for the dealers, as a "two-way", or "on top". A "Two-Way" is a bet for both parties: for example, a player may toss in two chips and say "Two Way Hard Eight", which will be understood to mean one chip for the player and one chip for the dealers. Playtech, a world leader in digital casino gaming technology, has a prestigious track record as a developer of online casino gaming products. Few are as popular as Playtech’s Caribbean Stud Poker. The attractive graphics and the accessibility of Caribbean Stud make Playtech’s endeavour that much more enthralling for true casino game fanatics.

Currently, the state of Oregon offers its players a 91-95% payout on each of its games. South Dakota and Montana law specifies that payouts must be greater than 80%, although in reality actual payouts in these two jurisdictions are around 88-92%. In pandoeren, a Dutch jass game, the rule is ft,t,r. This means that if you can follow suit, you must either follow suit or play a trump; if you cannot follow suit, you must play a trump; only if you can neither follow suit nor play a trump, you may play any card. According to James Grosjean you would need to have information on a full 7 hands and the dealer’s up card (36 cards in total) alongside a playing strategy optomized to the additional information to gain an edge of 2.374% over the house. 6 or less hands and the house retains the edge. The jokers are two additional cards, usually distinguishable from one another by color or style, that come alongside the other traditional 52 cards of a French-suited deck.

By the 15th century, suits began to coalesce within countries. While typical poker games award the pot to the highest hand as per the standard ranking of poker hands, there are variations where the best hand, and thus the hand awarded the pot, is the lowest-ranked hand instead. 007카지노 The earliest dated European woodcut is 1418. No examples of printed cards from before 1423 survive. But from about 1418 to 1450 professional card makers in Ulm, Nuremberg, and Augsburg created printed decks. Playing cards even competed with devotional images as the most common uses for woodcut in this period. Caribbean Stud Poker will be played on a table having places for nine or less players. Contain the elements of the design set out in Diagram A and may or may not have printed on it the name and/or logo of the casino;

These include roulette, baccarat, money wheel and pokie machines. If you've been betting on "Even" in roulette and odd numbers have shown up ten times in a row, the next spin is no more or less likely to be an even number than any other spin.As the number of rounds increases, the expected loss increases at a much faster rate. This is why it is impossible for a gambler to win in the long term. It is the high ratio of short-term standard deviation to expected loss that fools gamblers into thinking that they can win. The maximum bet is based on the maximum allowed win from a single roll. The lowest single-roll bet can be a minimum one unit bet.

It is the casino’s right to ask you to leave under the premises rights to ‘refuse service to anyone’ law. This eventually evolved into the American-style roulette game.This fact forms the basis for some systems where it is possible to overcome the house advantage. Older parents over the age of forty-five, who often have more vacation time and available spending money than younger adults, made up the largest group—23%—of casino gamblers in 2005.

Confused? Every card games has its own terms only known to people around the table. Here are some of the most essential blackjack terms that you’ll hear. Bally Technologies All American video poker is based on Jacks or Better with an increased payout for flushes, straights and straight flushes, but reduced payout for full houses and two pairs (8-8-8-3-1 versus 9-6-4-3-2). The full pay version (quads return 50 bets), once common but now rare, is one of the highest return versions of video poker offered, but the play strategy is very complex and mastered by few. IGT's version of the game is called USA Poker.As with regular poker, there are many different terms and phrases that are associated with playing video poker. A variant known as "tiers 5-8-10-11" has an additional chip placed straight up on 5, 8, 10, and 11m and so is a 10-piece bet. In some places the variant is called "gioco Ferrari" with a straight up on 8, 11, 23 and 30, the bet is marked with a red G on the racetrack.

The funds to pay big jackpots come from frequent losers (who get wiped out). Eight rolled the hard way, as opposed to an "easy eight", is sometimes called an "eighter from Decatur".Perhaps you are considering joining the legion of casino gamblers, but you are unsure of the rules and customs. Players are then given the option, one-by-one, to stick with their two cards, be dealt additional cards, or take another option that is available such as split or double down etc.

The game is also known in casinos in the United States. http://query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch/?action=click&contentCollection®ion=TopBar&WT.nav=searchWidget&module=SearchSubmit&pgtype=Homepage#/샌즈카지노 The Company still exists today, having expanded its member ranks to include "card makers... card collectors, dealers, bridge players, [and] magicians". To play the progressive jackpot, drop a chip in the slot, which turns on the light for that seat for the duration of the current hand. In US casinos, the rules of Caribbean Stud Poker vary somewhat depending on where you are playing. Buy bets are placed with the shooter betting at a specific number will come out before a player sevens out.

Any four cards of the same rank. If two players share the same Four of a Kind (on the board), the bigger fifth card (the "kicker") decides who wins the pot. Out of print is the Sextet Bridge Deck (copyright Ralph E. Peterson 1964, 1966), produced for Secobra Cards by the United States Playing Card Company. Jacob Riis, in his famous book about the underbelly of New York, How the Other Half Lives (1890), wrote of entering a Chinatown fan-tan parlor: "At the first foot-fall of leather soles on the steps the hum of talk ceases, and the group of celestials, crouching over their game of fan tan, stop playing and watch the comer with ugly looks. In the early 1990s, Gonzalo Garcia-Pelayo believed that casino roulette wheels were not perfectly random, and that by recording the results and analysing them with a computer, he could gain an edge on the house by predicting that certain numbers were more likely to occur next than the 1-in-36 odds offered by the house suggested.

The bet to qualify for the jackpot for any particular hand is usually just $1, and it’s not connected to the stakes you’re playing in the game. Around 70% of every dollar goes into the progressive jackpot pool while the casino keeps the rest. At 5x odds table, the maximum amount the combined bet can win will always be 6x the amount of the Don't Pass bet. Keno payouts are based on how many numbers the player chooses and how many of those numbers are "hit", multiplied by the proportion of the player's original wager to the "base rate" of the paytable. We wish for the info to be clear and easily accessible so we have created this table that we can only hope will come in handy. Caribbean Stud Poker is a spin-off of a poker game and it comes – for diversity reasons – in a few variations that are very well suited for online play.

Today, Blackjack is the one card game that can be found in every American gambling casino. Card games are thought to have originated in China around the year 1000 CE. Often block-printed, early Chinese cards may have been used in addition to other game pieces such as dice. 2 or 12 (hi-lo): Wins if shooter rolls a 2 or 12. The stickman places this bet on the line dividing the 2 and 12 bets.Betting point numbers (which pays off on easy or hard rolls of that number) or single-roll ("hop") bets (e.g., "hop the 2–4" is a bet for the next roll to be an easy six rolled as a two and four) are methods of betting easy ways.

There are many variations of street craps. The simplest way is to either agree on or roll a number as the point, then roll the point again before you roll a seven. Players can bet any point number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) by placing their wager in the come area and telling the dealer how much and on what number(s), "30 on the 6", "5 on the 5" or "25 on the 10". After taking influence from Edward O. Thorp and Lawrence Revere, Francesco invented the idea of Blackjack teams.The game is played with keeping the stream of balls to the left of the screen, but many models will have their optimized ball stream.

Casino is of Italian origin; the root casa means a house. The term casino may mean a small country villa, summerhouse, or social club.[1] During the 19th century, casino came to include other public buildings where pleasurable activities took place; such edifices were usually built on the grounds of a larger Italian villa or palazzo, and were used to host civic town functions, including dancing, gambling, music listening, and sports. Examples in Italy include Villa Farnese and Villa Giulia, and in the US the Newport Casino in Newport, Rhode Island. In modern-day Italian, a casino is a brothel (also called casa chiusa, literally "closed house"), a mess (confusing situation), or a noisy environment; a gaming house is spelt casinò, with an accent. It took forty-seven years before a second state, New Jersey, decided to allow casino gambling within its borders. It sounds like a sick joke straight out of Fallout: New Vegas, but it's true: starting in 1951, the U.S. Department of Energy began detonating more than one thousand test nukes just 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas, a scary spectacle that "turned night into day" and left mushroom clouds visible from casinos in the burgeoning tourist hotspot. 우리카지노계열 The 32 tiles in a Chinese dominoes set can be arranged into 16 pairs, as shown in the picture at the top of this article.

A complete bet places all of the inside bets on a certain number. Full complete bets are most often bet by high rollers as maximum bets. In addition, double-action cards have two numbers in each square. Eight rolled the hard way, as opposed to an "easy eight", is sometimes called an "eighter from Decatur".It is suggested that the differences arise due to the greater exposure of Macau residents to the influences of casino development.

The French card game trente et quarante (or rouge et noir) is played at Monte-Carlo and a few other continental casinos. Nearly 40 percent of the total tax revenue in the state of Nevada comes from gambling. When the player moved the handle on the machine, the reels spun randomly until they were slowed by stoppers within the machine.The legend goes something like this: in 1765, John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, was such a huge gambler that he didn't want to leave the gaming table to eat.

Budweiser’s Super Bowl LI Ad Is A Story Of Overcoming Xenophobia

At some point during Super Bowl LI on Sunday,Anheuser-Busch will run an ad that tells the story of a man fulfilling his American dream in spite of the anti-immigrant sentiment he faced along the way.

In the ad, released online Tuesday, a German immigrant arrives by boat in the U.S., where he is told, Youre not wanted here. Go back home. In spite of the xenophobia, he continues on, finally arriving in St. Louis, where he tells a man of his dream of starting an American brewing company.

The story, you probably guessed, is the story of the companys co-founder, Adolphus Busch, who journeyed as a young man from Germany to St. Louis in 1857. One of more than 20 siblings, Busch went to the U.S. to try and make a life for himself, believing he would not obtain enough of his wealthy parents fortune.

The ad comes just days afterPresident Trump signed an executive orderthat temporarily banned refugees and people from seven predominately Muslim countries from entering the country, and indefinitely banned Syrian refugees.

In light of the ban,it seems that Anheuser-Busch is trying to do what it can to avoid antagonizing either side of the political fray.In a statement provided to The Huffington Post, the company emphasized that the idea had been in development for a year well before President Donald Trumps election and that it was simply meant to celebrate an American success story.

We created the Budweiser commercial to highlight the ambition of our founder, Adolphus Busch, and his unrelenting pursuit of the American dream, the company said in a statement.

Ricardo Marques, an executive for the Budweiser brand in the U.S., said in an earlier interview with AdWeek that while the story of Buschs journey isa universal story that is very relevant today, it had no correlation with anything else thats happening in the country.

Notably, the final cut of the ad also appears to depict less virulent xenophobia than an earlier version of the ad seen by AdWeek, in which one person says,Go back to where you came from! and Busch actually gets spat on.

Regardless of Anheuser-Buschs desire to remain apolitical, a Super Bowl ad depicting an American immigrant overcoming xenophobia to achieve success in the U.S. has a political resonance.

In the days since the ad was revealed, the brewing company has faced a social media backlash from Trump supporters, who have threatened a boycott.

These sentiments may have sounded familiar to Adolphus Busch, who arrived in the U.S. when anti-German sentiment was on the rise. Many Germans left their homes to pursue a better economic lot in life as Busch did but some were political refugees, too, most famously a group known as theThe Forty-Eighters, which left Germany after a failed fight to unify Germany.

All told,more than 5 million Germanstraveled to the U.S. during the 19th century in hopes of a better life, leading to anger and resentment among many U.S. citizens, who harbored that resentment for many years to come.

Sound familiar?

This article has been updated to include social media backlash to the ad.

TRANSCRIPT for Episode 1.07 "Betty Lou's Sweet Potato Something" (PART 2/2)

ACT II

ELAINE: Hello and welcome back to Elaine's Cooking Podcast for the Soul, a podcast to keep your post-nuclear dining new and clear...from fallout radiation! I'm your host Elaine Martínez, and this evening we have worked up a delicious dish with our fresh and clean friend Betty Lou.

BETTY LOU: Betty Lou, five-foot-two, eyes o' blue. 

ELAINE: If you are just catching up with us, you missed the whole darn thing. But maybe Betty Lou will catch you up.

BETTY LOU: In a flash, this Sweet Potato Something that's still baking in the toaster oven is made up a can of cut and peeled sweet potatoes from a can. We mixed that up with some brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, pineapple tidbits, and some almond milk. Then we topped her with a kind of homemade granola mix of raw rolled oats, brown sugar, and pecans. And bingo-bango--

[TOASTER OVEN DINGS]

ELAINE: Oh look at that, what great timing. 

BETTY LOU: Oh Elaine, I saw you crank that dial to make it go off. 

ELAINE: It's the great secret of all cooking shows. Let's take a peek! Mm, it smells so--

[TOASTER OVEN DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

BETTY LOU: So much better than it looks, right?

ELAINE: And I bet it tastes better than either. 

[TOASTER OVEN DINGS]

BETTY LOU: Crunchy-looking oats, gently-baked sugar over a bed of delicious sweet potatoes. I'm just going to dive right into the pan itself here. Would you like to grab a fork and join me?

ELAIN: Nothing would give me greater pleasure.

[FORKS SCRAPE]

ELAINE: Mmm. 

BETTY LOU: What do you think of my Sweet Potato Something, Elaine?

ELAINE: It is truly something.

BETTY LOU: Thank you. What I like best about this recipe is that the margin of error is as wide as the clear blue sky on a brisk autumn morning.  

ELAINE: Yes, you could sub in dried cherries or walnuts or--

BETTY LOU: Just forty degrees as the sun peeks over the horizon, but certainly a sixty-eighter by the afternoon. Clouds building slowly throughout the day so that by sunset, the sky is an delicious explosion of color that Michelangelo himself would look at with rapture, paintbrush falling to his side.

ELAINE: Yes...well I'm--

BETTY LOU: There is a breeze, but only one that brushes the tallest grasses. So gentle it may well be a grasshopper--or a thousand grasshoppers--flickering throughout the field. The brighter stars have started making an appearance, and the moon is too excited and leans on your shoulder even as the sun sets. Our moon takes her place like a god ready to answer the prayer of every tiny firefly that blinks out a message of beautiful desperation. A magpie flutters down to pluck one last blackberry from among the thorns and is silent. A perfect day from dawn to dusk. Sweet. Potato. Something...

ELAINE: Wow. 

BETTY LOU: Oh, I was doing the thing again, wasn't I? I just hate it when a conversation becomes so dull, the weather is really all folks feel good talking about. I'm sorry, Elaine. 

ELAINE: Really, it was more of a reverie, a monologue. I enjoyed it.

BETTY LOU: Oh good.

ELAINE: Betty Lou, it means so much that you take the time out of your day to help us discover new ways of working with old rations. 

BETTY LOU: It was truly my pleasure. It's almost curfew, so I suppose I should skeedaddle before the Ad Ministers make their sweep.

ELAINE: True. It's very important that we all make it indoors before 7pm when The State releases the bots. They're relatively harmless, I'm told, the Ad Ministers.

BETTY LOU: They're nine feet tall, Elaine! Have you interacted with one yet? All they do is come right up to your face and advertise something you haven't heard of in ages. 

ELAINE: A patient told me that they are just there making facial recognition scans and nothing more. Still, I've also heard rumors that they may collect stragglers...

BETTY LOU: They look fucking terrifying, so I'm going to dash, dear. Give me a big hug, okay?

ELAINE: Big hug, Betty Lou. 

BETTY LOU: Bye, honey.

[DOOR BELL JINGLES]

ELAINE: Betty Lou certainly has more to say about the weather than she would like to admit. But what if that simple touchstone conversation--"sure is hot today...hope this rain lets up soon...hope the climate simulators don't go offline again..." what if these are not social fallback topics but rather simple and underrated ways to relate ourselves to one another and the community at large? Discussing the activities of the atmosphere and its impressions upon our porous skins is like suggesting that though we reside in different bodies, we are truly united on this planet. Just as the warmth of the sun so enthusiastically permeates the ever-thinning membrane of the ozone, so too does a simple word of solidarity permeate our similarly thinning society. I guess the idle ponderings of small talk are a welcome consistency as everything else in this world seems to be undergoing an anxious and relentless change. I suppose I'd rather talk to my neighbors about the weather than to not talk to them at all. I don't know if I would have said that before...So here we are, at the end of another day. I'm so thankful you, dear listener, were able to join me this week, and continue to be thankful for those of you who return the mini-USBs I download every episode onto. Stay tuned for the next drop-off/pick-up point. I have a feeling this week's episode will be a shoe-in...for some nice listening? Does that make sense? Did you listen to the ad? Anyway, this has been Elaine's Cooking Podcast for the Soul. I'm your host Elaine Martínez, not crying, hugging you goodnight.

How a painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware on Christmas went 19th-century viral

As you read the article below, consider the following questions: What motivated Leutze to paint “Washington Crossing the Delaware”? What was “Germany” in 1848? Did Leutze’s painting end up achieving his goals? Explain.

How a painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware on Christmas went 19th-century viral By Gillian Brockell December 25, 2017 Email the author

When the painting “Washington Crossing the Delaware” was first revealed to the public in the early 1850s, it was a smash hit. It toured major cities, drawing crowds and gold medals. A poet wrote an ode to it. The artist quickly painted a second version, to be shipped off and exhibited abroad.

The enormous canvas depicts perhaps a crucial moment in the War of Independence, Gen. George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night in 1776. After months of embarrassing failures, Washington ordered thousands of troops to stealthily cross the icy waters under cover of darkness. The next morning, in Trenton, N.J., their surprise attack on the Hessians (German mercenaries fighting for the British) provided a much-needed morale boost. But here’s the thing: That multicity tour the painting went on? It was in Germany — Berlin, Düsseldorf and Cologne, to be exact. The artist? A German. And the ode to it? Auf Deutsch.

That second version that was sent abroad? It was sent to the United States. In fact, when Emanuel Leutze started his masterpiece, his intention was not to ignite the patriotic passions of Americans, but to inspire his fellow Germans to be as patriotic as he knew Americans already were.

In 1848, a wave of rebellion spread across Europe. At the time, the German Confederation comprised dozens of independent states, dominated by two monarchs jockeying for control. During the revolutions of 1848, demonstrations of peasants, students and intellectuals sprang up throughout the states, demanding democratic reforms and touting pan-Germanism.

It was in this cauldron that Leutze decided to paint Washington. Although German by birth, he had spent his formative years in Philadelphia before returning to Düsseldorf for art school. Leutze had seen firsthand the power of seemingly disparate groups uniting for the cause of freedom, and he hoped his painting would inspire his countrymen to act like, well, countrymen. Unfortunately for Leutze, the revolution dissolved faster than he could paint. An attempt at a national assembly called the Frankfurt Parliament collapsed under the weight of its intellectualism, and many “Forty-Eighters,” as they came to be known, were forced to emigrate.

After its German tour, the first version of “Washington Crossing the Delaware” ended up in the Bremen art museum. In an odd twist of fate, it was destroyed by Allied (American) bombing during World War II.
 Leutze went with the second version to the United States, where the response was even greater than in the German states. Tens of thousands stood in line to see it at exhibitions in New York and the Capitol Rotunda in Washington. According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the painting now resides, within a year nearly every home had a print, engraving or needlework version displayed on the mantel.
 Even with his reputation as a painter of American patriotism cemented in history, Leutze still hoped that someday his birth country would be as unified as his adopted one. In 1859, he wrote to a friend: “I will always … to the German fatherland or to the spirit of Germany, as We think of it, remain true.”

New Friends

I just met some people from Germanic States that Immigrated here because they were fleeing revolutions in their home states. They are called the “Forty Eighters”. They favored unification of Germanic peoples in their land, but it didn’t occur so they ended up here.

Walk With You - The Story of Dred Scott and the Blow Family of Virginia

This day in History.  Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel LeutzeThe now famous painting of George Washington standing in a boat while his men were guiding it across an  icy river was painted in 1850 by Emanuel Leutze. Two PaintingsThe truth is that he painted two: one that stayed in Germany and the one Americans see in the United States. The painting captures a vital period of history: The Christmas Eve crossing of the Delaware River in 1776 when thousands of Washington’s men crossed under the cover of darkness and launched a surprise attack on German mercenaries at Trenton, New Jersey. So why were there two paintings? Students, intellectuals, and peasants in Germany longed for Democratic reforms in 1848, so the artist hoped that the rebels would be inspired by the Washington painting and succeed in their desire for democracy; however, this did not happen.The first painting of Washington crossing the Delaware stayed in Germany and was destroyed during the war when Americans dropped bombs during an air raid.  Public DisplayWashington Crossing the Delaware was first revealed to the public in the early 1850s. It was very well received as it toured major cities, drawing huge crowds. Leutze quickly painted a second version to be exhibited abroad.It isn’t hard to see why art historian Barbara Groseclose calls it “the very emblem of patriotism for Americans.” The enormous canvas depicts perhaps the most crucial moment in the War of Independence, Gen. George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night in 1776. After months of embarrassing failures, Washington ordered thousands of troops to stealthily cross the icy waters under cover of darkness. The next morning, in Trenton, N.J., their surprise attack on the Hessians (German mercenaries fighting for the British) provided a much-needed morale boost. Leutze Reasoning behind the paintingIn the painting, Washington stands proudly in a boat, seemingly certain of America’s destiny. In the second version that was sent abroad to the United States. In fact, when Emanuel Leutze started his masterpiece, his intention was not to ignite the patriotic passions of Americans, but to inspire his fellow Germans to be as patriotic as he knew Americans already were. RebellionIn 1848, a wave of rebellion spread across Europe. It started small with a revolution in Sicily, and then grew. In Denmark, protesters demanded a formal constitution. French citizens forced the creation of the Second French Republic. In London, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published “The Communist Manifesto.” At the time, the German Confederation comprised dozens of independent states, dominated by two monarchs jockeying for control. During the revolutions of 1848, demonstrations of peasants, students and intellectuals sprang up throughout the states, demanding democratic reforms and touting pan-Germanism. It was in this cauldron that Leutze decided to paint Washington. Emannuel LeutzeLeutze had spent his formative years in Philadelphia before returning to Germany for art school.

In an odd twist of fate, it was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II. The second versionLeutze went with the second version to the United States, where the response was even greater than in the German states. A magazine review called it the best painting yet executed of an American subject. A newspaper said it was the grandest, most majestic, and most effective painting ever exhibited in America. Mark TwainMark Twain, ever the satirist, had a different view, calling it a “work of art which would have made Washington hesitate about crossing, if he had known what advantage would be taken of it.” Tens of thousands stood in line to see it at exhibitions in New York and the Capitol Rotunda in Washington. According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the painting now resides, within a year nearly every home had a print, engraving or needlework version displayed on the mantel. Eventually, Leutze resettled in New York, where Congress commissioned him to paint another American classic, the massive “Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way,” which still hangs in the Capitol.

📜 x5 for every character >:3

im going to yeet to ontario and (softly) punch you (jk jk ily dav)

Alexios

He owns a mycenean armour they found on the rower deck.

His aunt married the Theban king so he had a rich boy’s education.

Why he got it because of his aunt’s husband, you may ask? Because his mother didn’t have time to raise him in between all the stuff she had to do at the temple, so his aunt and uncle raised him.

He has a strong dislike for pigs… (there’s a very valid reason why)

He’s refered to as “The son of the Lion” in the prophecy uwu.

Adrasthea

She’s our local orphan! (Other than Delia at least…)

Adra is? Very impulsive.

She’s part of the Bi team and I’m pretty sure she considered dating Amalthea at least once but they’re not compatible romantically.

She’s the most impulsive of the trio.

She’s doing her darnest to push Alexios towards having more actual self-confidence.

Amalthea

She’s the daughter of Circea (and therefore the granddaughter of Hecate!)

Just like her mother, she’s a skilled magician and doesn’t really like guys all that much. Not that she hates them or anything, she just finds their acting stupidly quite annoying.

Local lesbian, though she judges love to be something very secondary.

I wouldn’t call her rude, but she has no shame in saying what she thinks.

She can stand for herself hella well.

Delia

Our other local orphan! She was found on Delos, hence her name (which literally means “Delian”).

She’s demi and have only actually been attracted and in love to one person in her entire life, though that doesn’t stop her from being a very loving person in general.

She traveled through all of Greece for Apollo, basically working as his messenger all around the place.

She lived a good part on her (short) life in Delphi because of this, but always prefered Delos.

Apollo thought it was a good idea to teach her how to swim literally in the Egean when she was 12; she almost drown and she’s been a bit scared of the water ever since.

Ailyah

She’s Maël’s cousin!

Unlike him, she’s fully human and didn’t grow up as royalty, though she did spend most of her childhood with him.

One would say Maël and her are almost like twins.

She’s the one that gifted him his magical coin.

Ailyah wants herself to be the responsible one but… she’s not.

Maël

He’s half-human half-fae!

Maël is autistic (logic, since he’s inspired by my cousin, whom happens to be tsa too).

He’s also asexual and has frankly no care in the world about sex in general.

One of his wings got ripped off following a pretty horrible event…

He owns a magical coin that allows him to go in between two dimensions

Ian

Ian is a changeling!

He was raised in a circus by another changeling, who vanished when he was still a kid.

He’s pretty agile and a good pick pocket because, well… the circus wasn’t all that much honest in general.

Ian actually hated being in the circus because the owner was a dick.

His favourite song  is Bohémienne, from the musical Notre-Dame de Paris; he can sing it by heart.

MC

Mc is actually amnesiac, they completely forgot their past life before the labyrinth.

They’ve discovered themself strangely skilled at killing.

They’re generally pretty silent and don’t make much noises while moving around.

They have pretty good reflexes.

They’re the responsible one in the group and lowkey hate it (or at least that’s what they say…)

Alois

His first language is German.

In fact, Alois’ parents are Germans (and so he is ig?).

He doesn’t have the nationality though because they were forty-eighters.

My boi Alois is an anarchist and proud of it.

He grew up in Chicago.

Armena

Even her doesn’t know how many kids she has anymore.

She got nicknamed griffon d’or (gold griffyn) by the girls because she has golden feathers.

She’s been happily married for a whole lot of time, so long, in fact, that she forgot the actual duration.

She’s? Good at cooking though she doesn’t get to do it often because royal stuff to do.

One of her kids is a baby dragon.

Sam 

Sam is bipolar and struggles a lot with this.

They don’t usually eat much, most often because they forget, but sometimes because they don’t want to.

Sam actually had a very supportive family that never questionned what they discovered about their gender… sucks that they died a long time ago though…

Their lover died in an accident while they survived and Sam considers themself responsible for it.

Hadn’t it been for their rare friends, they’d have most likely died a longtime ago.

February 25th, 1864

            An hour later, the sun finally came out. The recruiters told me I was to make my way to Trenton, New Jersey, an American state to the west. I crossed the Hudson on a ferryboat and then was put on a troop train to Trenton. Upon my arrival, I met up with the 2nd New Jersey Infantry and began my training as a federal soldier. Shortly after I reached New Jersey, I met other Germans, many had fought a decade ago in the Prussian Army. These men came to America ten years ago, fleeing the economic and political conflicts of Europe. They talked to me about how they tried fighting for their own freedom back home, but were unsuccessful. At suppertime, an older gentleman lectured me, saying “America is the last refuge for Germany, the last hope for Germany. When we fight for America, we are also fighting for the interests of Germany.”

            Explanation: Moser could not yet speak English, so signing recruitment papers was most definitely a lengthy and confusing process for him. Many men who had served in the German conflicts of the 19th century served in the Union Army. The 2nd New Jersey Infantry contained many of these veterans. These men had led revolutions back at home and they experienced oppression and were sympathetic to the evils of slavery. They were called “Forty-Eighters,” and many of them trained the novice soldiers.
