Hand (poker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sometimes straights and/or flushes count in determining which hand is highest but not in determining which hand is lowest (being reckoned as a no-pair hand in the latter instance), so that a player with such a holding can win both ways and thus take the entire pot. Individual card ranks are often used to evaluate hands that contain no pairs or other special combinations, or to rank the kickers of otherwise equal hands. An additional hand type, five of a kind, exists when wild cards are used. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hand_(poker)   (1182 words)

Invisible Hand Encyclopedia Article @ BloomingIdiot.com The invisible hand is traditionally understood as a concept in economics, but Robert Nozick argues in Anarchy, State and Utopia that substantively the same concept exists in a number of other areas of academic discourse under different names, notably Darwinian natural selection. On the other hand, it is highly disputable whether the reduction to an idea of selfish knowledge proliferation is a good explanation for such motivations, disregarding the psychological and social complexity of whole–part relations. In general, the term “invisible hand” can apply to any individual action that has unplanned, unintended consequences, particularly those which arise from actions not orchestrated by a central command and which have an observable, patterned effect on the community. www.bloomingidiot.com /encyclopedia/Invisible_hand   (1525 words)

Michael Dyck's collection of hand games You do the hand sequence while singing the song 3 times, but on the final "last", poke the other person in the belly (instead of doing action 7 of the 15th repetition of the hand sequence) and ignore the last three rests. Thus your left hand is kind of reminding you that you're going to reach over with your right hand to grab the cup on the left, nearest the main (left) tapping hand (in this case). An exaggerated positioning of the palm-together hands at the start indicates the direction of the next sequence: cocked up to right shoulder for a "normal," right-handed game, or cocked up to the left shoulder for a left game. www.juneharman.com /jmdyck/hand_games   (1738 words)
