	Political decoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A political decoy is a person employed to impersonate a politician, in order to draw attention away from the real person or to take risks on their behalf.

		If the political decoy bears an overwhelming resemblance to their target and has been thoroughly trained, such impersonation can be almost impossible to detect, even at close range, without recourse to forensic science.

		Decoys are usually made on the following plan: long tunnels leading from the sea, channel or estuary into a pool or pond are covered with an arched net, which gradually narrows in width; the ducks are enticed into this by a tame trained bird, also known as a decoy or decoy-duck.
		In America the decoy is an artificial bird, placed in the water as if it were feeding, which attracts the wild fowl within range of the concealed sportsman.
		The New English Dictionary points out that the word decoy is found in the particular sense of a sharper or swindler as a slang term slightly earlier than coy or decoy in the ordinary sense, and, as the name of a game of cards, as early as 1550, apparently with no connection in meaning.

	The Hunting Decoy - Part Two - Article by Willy McDonald - The Duck Blind
		Developing decoy patterns from photos and other reference material is a relatively easy task for the experienced carver, but many novices need a place to begin.
		The next step in the process is to decide on the carving materials suitable for a real, true hunting decoy-a decoy that can stand up to the trauma of everyday hunting, float naturally, and still portray realism simply.
		In the case of weight, many decoys are hollowed, but they are then subject to sinking if they crack, or are accidentally shot.

	Matrix Science - Help - Decoy Databases
		When the search is complete, the statistics for matches to the random sequences, which are effectively sequences from a decoy database, are reported in the result header.
		One objection to using a randomised database for a tryptic search is that the total number of peptides changes, because real protein sequences are not random, and because the target database will have some degree of redundancy, which is lost on randomisation.
		In other words, as the score threshold is reduced towards zero, additional matches are equally likely to come from the decoy as from the target, and the ROC curve tends towards a diagonal line, as shown in the first plot.

	How A Winery Operates: Part 6 - Decoy Focus
		With the inauguration of the first Decoy wine in 1985, we embarked on a new era that further emphasizes quality through "declassification." For years established wineries around the world have used an alternate, or "second," label, wherein wines that did not quite make the first string are labeled with a tie-in brand.
		From a management standpoint, the key issue is whether or not to produce Decoy in any given year, and if so, how much.
		If the bulk wine market were to heat up as it did several years ago because of short crops, we would still bottle a qualified Decoy, even though we may be better off financially to sell the wine in bulk.

		Decoy songs are driven by an intrinsic melodicism, combined with an off-kilter delivery -- Bruce calls it "off the cuff" -- that sounds like Polvo working over the Prefab Sprout songbook.
		In fact, Decoy's '95 self-titled debut CD includes a cover of that beloved (by our vacationing music ed.
		Decoy's current disc, Volv, sees more refinement in songcraft, with bittersweet gems like "Never Mind the Weather" standing out alongside more abrasive numbers such as "Head Bomb." My personal fave is the infectious "Frances Taylor," which climaxes in Bruce's manic Fender Rhodes piano solo.
