exist. This would be expressed with a contract on the feature of class codice_3 which returns the item.
In traditional, sequential processing, a client intending to call codice_4 would be responsible for making certain that the precondition codice_5 holds before making the call. If the call to codice_6 were made in a state in which codice_7 did not hold, the caller would incur a precondition violation exception.
In the presence of SCOOP and given the separateness of codice_1, making the check on codice_7 before calling codice_6 would not be reliable. This is because the state of codice_1 could have been changed by requests from other SCOOP processors between the time that the check was made | 6,122,700 |

processors between the time that the check was made and the time that codice_6 could be called.
As a result, when SCOOP is enabled, the precondition codice_7 is transformed from a correctness condition, which will cause an exception in the case of a violation, to a wait condition. The wait condition will cause the execution of codice_6 to be delayed until such time as codice_7 holds. In the Eiffel Software implementation, if SCOOP is not enabled, the codice_2 keyword is ignored and sequential processing is assumed.

6867370 | Domain-key normal form | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Domain-key%20normal%20form | Domain-key normal form
Domain-key normal form
Domain-key normal form (DK/NF) is a normal form used in database normalization which requires that the database contains no constraints other than domain constraints and key constraints.
A domain constraint specifies the permissible values for a given attribute, while a key constraint specifies the attributes that uniquely identify a row in a given table.
The domain/key normal form is achieved when every constraint on the relation is a logical consequence of the definition of keys and domains, and enforcing key and domain restraints and conditions causes all constraints to be met. Thus, it avoids all non-temporal anomalies.
The reason to use domain/key normal form is | 6,122,702 |
6867370 | Domain-key normal form | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Domain-key%20normal%20form | Domain-key normal form
to avoid having general constraints in the database that are not clear domain or key constraints. Most databases can easily test domain and key constraints on attributes. General constraints however would normally require special database programming in the form of stored procedures (often of the trigger variety) that are expensive to maintain and expensive for the database to execute. Therefore, general constraints are split into domain and key constraints.
It's much easier to build a database in domain/key normal form than it is to convert lesser databases which may contain numerous anomalies. However, successfully building a domain/key normal form database remains a difficult task, even | 6,122,703 |
6867370 | Domain-key normal form | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Domain-key%20normal%20form | Domain-key normal form
for experienced database programmers. Thus, while the domain/key normal form eliminates the problems found in most databases, it tends to be the most costly normal form to achieve. However, failing to achieve the domain/key normal form may carry long-term, hidden costs due to anomalies which appear in databases adhering only to lower normal forms over time.
The third normal form, Boyce–Codd normal form, fourth normal form and fifth normal form are special cases of the domain/key normal form. All have either functional, multi-valued or join dependencies that can be converted into (super)keys. The domains on those normal forms were unconstrained so all domain constraints are satisfied. However, | 6,122,704 |
6867370 | Domain-key normal form | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Domain-key%20normal%20form | Domain-key normal form
transforming a higher normal form into domain/key normal form is not always a dependency-preserving transformation and therefore not always possible.
# Example.
A violation of DKNF occurs in the following table:
There is a constraint linking Wealthy Person Type to Net Worth in Dollars, even though we cannot deduce one from the other. The constraint dictates that an Eccentric Millionaire or Evil Millionaire will have a net worth of 1,000,000 to 999,999,999 inclusive, while an Eccentric Billionaire or Evil Billionaire will have a net worth of 1,000,000,000 or higher. This constraint is neither a domain constraint nor a key constraint; therefore we cannot rely on domain constraints and key constraints | 6,122,705 |
6867370 | Domain-key normal form | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Domain-key%20normal%20form | Domain-key normal form
to guarantee that an inconsistent Wealthy Person Type / Net Worth in Dollars combination does not make its way into the database.
The DKNF violation could be eliminated by altering the Wealthy Person Type domain to make it consist of just two values, 'Evil' and 'Eccentric' (the wealthy person's status as a millionaire or billionaire is implicit in their Net Worth in Dollars, so no useful information is lost).
# Foreign Keys.
Relationships that are impossible to express as foreign keys are obvious violations of DKNF. For example, a "Parent ID" attribute that points to one of several referenced tables, depending on a second "Parent Type" attribute, violates DKNF.

Liberal Vannin Party
The Liberal Vannin Party (LVP) is a political party on the Isle of Man. It was founded in 2006 by Peter Karran, then an Independent MHK for Onchan. Karran had been, until 2004, a member of the Manx Labour Party. The "Vannin" in the party name is the name of the Isle of Man in the native Manx Gaelic language, while "Liberal" is a reference to the Liberal Democrats, the LVP's sister party.
The Liberal Vannin Party put forward several candidates at the 2006 general election and had two MHKs elected. In the 2011 general election, they returned three MHKs. This result was mirrored in the 2016 general election, but one of these subsequently resigned from the party. As of 2018, | 6,122,709 |
6867202 | Liberal Vannin Party | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liberal%20Vannin%20Party | Liberal Vannin Party
they are the only party in the House of Keys; the remaining 22 out of the 24 members are independents. The party also holds 1 of 18 seats on the Douglas Borough Council.
The party campaigns on a platform of greater accountability and transparency in government and also strives for further devolution from the United Kingdom to the Isle of Man. It is a sister party of the UK's Liberal Democrats.
# History.
The Liberal Vannin Party was founded in 2006 by Peter Karran, a former member of the Manx Labour Party. Karran was joined by Tony Wright who was already intending to contest Rushen as an independent. It was announced that their target seats would be Douglas South, Middle and Onchan.
The | 6,122,710 |
6867202 | Liberal Vannin Party | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liberal%20Vannin%20Party | Liberal Vannin Party
party stood nine candidates in the 2006 Manx general election, and two of them were elected: Peter Karran in Onchan and Bill Malarkey in Douglas South. Karran received more votes than any other candidate in the election. After being elected representing the Liberal Vannin Party, Malarkey resigned from the party and sat as an independent. The Liberal Vannin Party sent delegates to the Liberal International's 2007 Hamburg Conference, where they became Observer Members pending verification at the 2008 Belfast Conference. Since the 2008 Belfast Conference, Liberal Vannin has been an official Observer Member of Liberal International. The Liberal Vannin Party is also listed as a "Sister Party" of | 6,122,711 |
6867202 | Liberal Vannin Party | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liberal%20Vannin%20Party | Liberal Vannin Party
the British Liberal Democrats.
At the 2011 Manx general election, the Liberal Vannin Party stood ten candidates, received 20.9% of the vote and had three Members of the House of Keys elected. These were Peter Karran and Zac Hall in Onchan, and Kate Beecroft in Douglas South. Beecroft, standing as the official Liberal Vannin candidate, defeated Bill Malarkey who had previously been a member of the party but was contesting the seat as an independent.
From 2011 to 2012, Karran served in the Isle of Man Government as the Minister for Education and Children. In May 2012 Zac Hall had his membership revoked for "bringing the party into disrepute", leaving them with only two MHKs. In 2014 Kate Beecroft | 6,122,712 |
6867202 | Liberal Vannin Party | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liberal%20Vannin%20Party | Liberal Vannin Party
was elected Leader of the Liberal Vannin Party, with Karran saying it "was time for a change".

Roland (Lully)
Roland is an opera with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully and a libretto by Philippe Quinault. It was first performed on January 8, 1685, at the Palace of Versailles by the Académie Royale de Musique (Paris Opera) and later, beginning on March 8, 1685, at the company's public theatre in Paris, the Théâtre du Palais-Royal. The story is derived from Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando Furioso". The opera takes the form of a tragédie en musique with an allegorical prologue and five acts.
# Roles.
There is also a chorus of Fairies, Islanders, Shepherds and Shepherdesses, Heroes and followers of Glory.
# Synopsis.
The opera opens with an allegorical prologue in which Démogorgon, King of the | 6,122,718 |
6867358 | Roland (Lully) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roland%20(Lully) | Roland (Lully)
Fairies, sings the praises of Louis XIV and asks to see the story of the famous paladin Roland. Roland, the nephew of Charlemagne loves Angélique, the daughter of the King of Cathay, but, unbeknown to him, she is in love with Médor, a soldier in the army of Africa. In Act One, Roland gives Angélique a magic bracelet as a token of his love. In Act Two, Angélique approaches the Fountain of Love in a forest. When she catches sight of Roland, she uses a magic ring to make herself invisible and Roland wanders off in despair. Médor then arrives and in a soliloquy reveals he too is desperately in love with Angélique, so much so he is planning to kill himself. At that moment Angélique reveals herself | 6,122,719 |
6867358 | Roland (Lully) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roland%20(Lully) | Roland (Lully)
and confesses her love for him. But she worries that Roland will be provoked to fury if he finds out. In Act Three, Angélique and Médor plan to flee from the clutches of Roland after a hasty wedding. The following act finds Roland in despair when Angélique is nowhere to be found. He comes across the names of Angélique and Médor carved on the walls of a cave. He hears the sound of a village wedding nearby. The villagers tell him of Médor and Angélique's escape and show him Roland's bracelet which the couple gave them in gratitude for letting them stay in the village. Roland plunges into madness. In the final act, under the influence of the fairy Logistille the sleeping Roland is visited by dreams | 6,122,720 |
6867358 | Roland (Lully) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roland%20(Lully) | Roland (Lully)
of ancient heroes who urge him to give up his futile love for Angélique and return to the Christian army. Roland awakes, having recovered his reason and his desire for glory and rides off to battle amid a general triumph.
# Background and performance history.
Unlike the majority of Lully's "tragédies", "Roland" is not based on Classical mythology but on tales of medieval chivalry. This is also the case for the operas which preceded and followed it: "Amadis" (1684) and "Armide" (1686). Lully and Quinault's operas generally reflected the thinking of their patron, Louis XIV. The king had recently come under the influence of the pious Madame de Maintenon and had reaffirmed his religious faith | 6,122,721 |
6867358 | Roland (Lully) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roland%20(Lully) | Roland (Lully)
and his desire to impose Catholic orthodoxy on France. He was even referred to as the "new Charlemagne" in a sermon preached by Bossuet in the same month as the opera's premiere. Thus the Christian knight Roland's rediscovery of his sacred mission was an ideal subject for the times. There was a patriotic motive too: although the story was derived from an Italian poem, Roland had been born in France and was the hero of the epic "La Chanson de Roland", one of the earliest works of French literature.
The opera premiered in the stables at Versailles, which had been specially adapted for the occasion. In March of the same year, it was given at the theatre of the Palais Royal, Paris, and enjoyed | 6,122,722 |
6867358 | Roland (Lully) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roland%20(Lully) | Roland (Lully)
great success. Revivals would continue well into the 18th century. In 1778, Marmontel adapted the libretto for a new setting by Piccinni (Gluck and Rameau had also considered producing a new version). The theme of the "madness of Roland" proved attractive to later composers too. Notable examples include "Orlando finto pazzo" (1714) and "Orlando furioso" (1727) by Vivaldi, "Orlando" (1732) by Handel, and "Orlando paladino" (1782) by Haydn.

Persée
Persée ("Perseus") is a tragédie lyrique with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully and a libretto by Philippe Quinault, first performed on 18 April 1682 by the Opéra at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris.
# Synopsis.
ACT I: The Palace of King Céphée and Queen Cassiope of Ethiopia
King Céphée expresses the terror his people feel for the snake-haired Mèduse: anyone who looks on her turns to stone. The goddess Juno has sent Mèduse to punish Queen Cassiope for her insolence in comparing her own beauty to that of the goddess. In an effort to appease Juno's wrath, Cassiope has prepared a celebration of games in her honour. We learn that Mérope, the queen's sister, secretly loves Persée. However, | 6,122,725 |
6867401 | Persée | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Persée | Persée
Persée loves and is loved by Andromède, the king's daughter. Andromède is betrothed to Phinée, her uncle, who, in an agony of jealousy, accuses her of not returning his love, suspecting that she loves another. Andromède assures him that she will fulfil her duty to love him. As the act ends, we learn that Juno has rejected the sacrifices made in her honour. Messengers arrive with the terrible news that Mèduse has taken more victims.
ACT II: The Palace Gardens
Céphée announces that Persée will fight Mèduse to free Ethiopia of her terror; if successful, he is to have Andromède as his own. Phinée is outraged. Andromède and Mérope confess their mutual love for Persée and pray for his safe return. | 6,122,726 |
6867401 | Persée | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Persée | Persée
As Andromède and Persée say farewell, she cannot keep herself from confessing that she loves only him. Mercure assures Persée of the assistance of all the gods (except Juno). A troupe of Cyclops brings Persée a sword forged by Vulcan, Warrior Nymphs bring Pallas's diamond shield, and Fiery Spirits from the underworld present him with the helmet of Pluto.
ACT III: The dwelling of the Gorgons
Once a beautiful woman renowned for her gorgeous hair, Mèduse tells how she was turned into a snake-haired monster by the hand of the goddess Minerva, who was jealous of her. Mercure casts a sleeping spell over Mèduse and the Gorgons, who try but cannot resist the spell. Using Minerva's shield as a mirror | 6,122,727 |
6867401 | Persée | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Persée | Persée
to avoid gazing on Mèduse, Persée beheads her. Using Pluto's helmet to make himself invisible, Persée flees the wrath of the remaining Gorgons, carrying Mèduse's head.
ACT IV: A rocky seacoast in Ethiopia
The Ethiopians are celebrating and awaiting the victorious Persée on a rocky seacoast. A storm arises, and the sailor Idas enters to announce that the furious Juno, along with Neptune, is determined to sacrifice Andromède to a sea monster. Phinée says that he would rather see Andromède dead than in the arms of his rival, confessing that love has died in his heart. Before the despairing eyes of the king, the Tritons chain Andromède to a rock. At the last moment, Persée flies toward the approaching | 6,122,728 |
6867401 | Persée | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Persée | Persée
monster and kills it. The storm ends and the Ethiopians celebrate victory.
ACT V: A reception room prepared for the wedding of Persée and Andromède
A devastated Mérope longs for death, then is joined by Phinée. The two conspire to take revenge on Persée with the help of Juno. As the High Priest begins the wedding ceremony, however, Mérope repents of her treachery and warns Persée that Phinée`s assassins are approaching. The wedding guests flee. In the ensuing battle, Mérope is struck by an arrow and killed. With the help of Juno, the battle goes in Phinée's favour; however, Persée uses the Gorgon's head to turn his enemy to stone.
The scene changes to Venus' palace. Venus descends from the | 6,122,729 |
6867401 | Persée | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Persée | Persée
heavens to announce that Juno is appeased and the Ethiopians can now live in peace. While Céphée, Cassiope, Persée and Andromède hover on Mercure's wings, the Ethiopians celebrate with dancing and singing.

# Story.
"Armies of Death" is a direct sequel to the "Fighting Fantasy" title "Trial of Champions". The player assumes the role of the winner of the Trial. With the continent Allansia threatened by the evil Shadow Demon Agglax and his growing undead army, the adventurer must use their newfound-riches to raise an army to stop the threat. Despite being a sequel storywise, the gameplay has little in common with the two previous entries, as the player is no longer exploring a dungeon. | 6,122,752 |

Painted burrowing frog
The painted burrowing frog ("Neobatrachus pictus") is a species of burrowing frog native to western Victoria, eastern South Australia and southern New South Wales. They are also one of six species of frog which inhabit Kangaroo Island.
# Description.
The painted burrowing frog is a moderate sized plump frog, reaching 55 mm in length. It is grey to yellow above with brown, olive or green patches. There is sometimes a thin, paler stripe running down the back. The belly is white. The rear toes are partially webbed and the metatarsal tubercles (shovel like structures on the heel of the foot to assist with burrowing) are completely black. The pupil is a vertical slit when | 6,122,755 |
6867464 | Painted burrowing frog | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Painted%20burrowing%20frog | Painted burrowing frog
contracted, and the iris is silver to gold.
# Ecology and behaviour.
Painted burrowing frogs inhabit waterholes, dams or pools of watercourses in woodland, grassland, and cleared areas. Males make an elongated trilling sound while floating in water after heavy rains, mainly in winter and autumn. Like other "Neobatrachus" the species is an adapted burrower and will often spend periods of time underground to avoid drought conditions.
Eggs are laid as loosely adherent clumps which may break apart. Tadpoles are large and reach about 78 mm (at about stage 35). Development takes about 4 to 7 months and metamorphs are often observed from September to November.
When threatened, this species will | 6,122,756 |
6867464 | Painted burrowing frog | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Painted%20burrowing%20frog | Painted burrowing frog
sometimes rear up all its legs, inflating its body to appear larger to discourage some predators.
It is an uncommon species being threatened with habitat loss and is classified as endangered in New South Wales.
# Similar species.
It is similar to other species of "Neobatrachus", particularly the Sudell's frog ("N. sudelli") and the trilling frog ("N. centralis"), from which it is distinguished by lack of baggy skin around the groin and metatarsal colouring respectively.

Sudell's frog
The Sudell's frog or painted burrowing frog ("Neobatrachus sudelli") is a species of burrowing frog common to a large part of southeastern Australia. It is found on and west of the Great Dividing Range of New South Wales to western Victoria and southern Queensland as well as far eastern South Australia.
# Taxonomy.
First described in 1911 by Joseph Lamb (born 1869), the author assigning the name "Heleioporus sudelli". The specific epithet honours "Miss J. Sudell", who collected the type specimen near Warwick in Queensland.
# Description.
The Sudell's frog is relatively small, reaching only 40 mm in length. It is highly variable and is generally brown, however it may also be | 6,122,759 |
6867471 | Sudell's frog | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sudell's%20frog | Sudell's frog
grey, yellow or reddish on the dorsal surface with irregular darker spots or blotches. There is often a pale mid-dorsal stripe running down the back. The belly is smooth and pale cream or white. The toes are fully webbed, however a deep indentation is present between the webbing of each toe. The metatarsal tubercles (a shovel like structure on the foot to assist with burrowing) are completely black. The pupil is vertical and iris is silver.
# Ecology and behaviour.
Sudell's frog inhabits ponds, dams, ditches, clay pans or any still water in woodland, shrubland, and disturbed areas (including farmland). Males make a short trilling sound while floating in water after heavy rains, which flood | 6,122,760 |
6867471 | Sudell's frog | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sudell's%20frog | Sudell's frog
the breeding area, from late winter through to autumn. The species is an adapted burrower and will often spend periods of time underground to avoid drought conditions.
About 600 eggs are laid in a clump entwined among vegetation near the surface, however will sink if disturbed. Hatching occurs about 3 days after laying and tadpoles are plump and large reaching about 77 mm (at about stage 40). The tadpoles often overwinter and metamorphs measure from about 20 to 30mm in length.

It is also similar to the ornate burrowing frog ("Platyplectrum ornatum") and "Heleioporus" from which it can be distinguished by a fully black metatarsal, webbed toes and vertical pupil.
# As a pet.
It is kept as a pet, in Australia this animal may be kept in captivity with the appropriate permit.

Reflected ligament
The reflected inguinal ligament (triangular fascia) is a layer of tendinous fibers of a triangular shape, formed by an expansion from the lacunar ligament and the inferior crus of the subcutaneous inguinal ring.
It passes medialward behind the spermatic cord, and expands into a somewhat fan-shaped band, lying behind the superior crus of the subcutaneous inguinal ring, and in front of the inguinal aponeurotic falx, and interlaces with the ligament of the other side of the linea alba.

6867493 | Thésée | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thésée | Thésée
Thésée
Thésée ("Theseus") is a "tragédie en musique", an early type of French opera, in a prologue and five acts with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully and a libretto by Philippe Quinault based on Ovid's "Metamorphoses". It was first performed on 11 January 1675 by the Paris Opera for the royal court at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye and was first performed in public in April at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris.
The plot centres around a love triangle: Egée wants to marry his ward, princess Églé, while the sorceress Médée wishes to marry the young warrior Thésée, but Thésée and Églé love each other. Médée attempts to force the lovers to renounce each other: first by using her magic to | 6,122,771 |
6867493 | Thésée | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thésée | Thésée
bring Églé to a place of torment, then by convincing Egée to have Thésée killed as a potential threat to his reign. But before Thésée can drink the poison he has been given, Egée realises that Thésée is his lost son. He then gives Églé to Thésée. Médée takes vengeance by destroying the festive setting, but the goddess Minerve undoes this.
# Synopsis.
## Prologue.
Mars and Venus and their followers sing the praise of King Louis XIV.
## Act 1.
Princess Églé is in love with Thésée and prays for his safe return from battle against rebels who are threatening King Égée of Athens. Égée enters victorious. He tells Églé he is in love with her, despite being betrothed to the sorceress Médée. Égée | 6,122,772 |
6867493 | Thésée | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thésée | Thésée
says he now intends to marry Médée to his son, whom he has hidden away at Troezen and has not seen for years. The Athenians celebrate their victory with a sacrifice to the goddess Minerva.
## Act 2.
Médée is in love with Thésée. She agree to let Égée break off their engagement so he can pursue Églé. Égée is jealous of Thésée's popularity with the people of Athens, who want to make him the king's heir because of his bravery in battle. Médée offers to help Thésée, who reveals to her that he is in love with Églé, provoking the sorceress to jealousy.
## Act 3.
Médée threatens Églé that she will use her magic against her if the princess does not renounce her love for Thésée and marry the king | 6,122,773 |
6867493 | Thésée | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thésée | Thésée
instead. She conjures up a vision of a terrifying desert full of monsters and also menaces Églé with demons from hell.
## Act 4.
Médée orders Églé to marry Égée, otherwise she will put Thésée's life in danger. She conjures a vision of the sleeping Thésée in which she threatens to sacrifice him with a knife. Thésée wakes and is perplexed by Églé's sudden coldness towards him. She explains she is trying to save his life. Thésée reveals that he is Égée's son from Troezen. Médée appears to relent and bless the betrothal of Thésée and Églé.
## Act 5.
In reality, Médée is still tortured by jealousy. She persuades Égée to kill Thésée, warning him that if he makes Thésée his heir the king will wrong | 6,122,774 |
6867493 | Thésée | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thésée | Thésée
his missing son. Égée hands Thésée a poisoned chalice but he recognises Thésée's sword and realises the young man must be his son. Just in time, he prevents Thésée from drinking the poison. He agrees to let Thésée marry Églé. Thwarted, Médée escapes on a flying chariot pulled by dragons, burning down the palace. The Athenians pray to Minerva who raises a magnificent new palace and the opera ends with rejoicing.

Pokeno
Pokeno () is a small town (615 households) in the Waikato District of the Waikato Region in New Zealand, southeast of Auckland, from Tuakau and from Mercer. State Highway 1 originally ran through the town, but the upgrading of the highway in 1992 to expressway standards mean that the town has been bypassed.
Pokeno was an important site during the New Zealand Wars of the 19th century, being the site of the Queen's Redoubt, a major colonial military headquarters. The redoubt was an important southern fortification on the Great South Road, built by Governor George Edward Grey to transport troops for the Invasion of the Waikato.

Irish Poker Open
The Irish Poker Open is the longest running No Limit Texas hold 'em poker tournament in Europe and second longest in the world after the World Series of Poker.
First organised in 1980 by Terry Rogers, a well known Irish bookmaker, the tournament is Europe's largest and a fixture on the international poker calendar. It is traditionally held over Easter weekend each year.
Since Terry Rogers death in 1999 the tournament, originally held in Dublin's Eccentric Club, has been hosted by tournament director and poker player Liam Flood and the Merrion Casino.
paddypowerpoker.com began sponsorship of the event in 2005 and oversaw the huge growth in the tournament. By 2006 the event, | 6,122,780 |
6867417 | Irish Poker Open | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Irish%20Poker%20Open | Irish Poker Open
with 339 players, had outgrown the Merrion Casino and was held in Jury's Ballsbridge Hotel in Dublin. In 2007 the venue was changed to the Burlington Hotel, Dublin to accommodate the bigger field, while in 2008 and 2009 the Irish Open venue was Citywest Hotel, Dublin. In 2010 the tournament returned to the Burlington Hotel and numbers declined year on year up to 2015 which was inline with trends and decline in the online poker industry.
In 2016, the Irish Poker Open will return to Citywest Hotel for a week long festival from 21 to 28 March, culminating in the €500k Main Event. The 2016 Irish Poker Open will be managed by JP Poker and Countside Ltd, both companies have organised tournaments | 6,122,781 |
6867417 | Irish Poker Open | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Irish%20Poker%20Open | Irish Poker Open
in both Ireland and Europe for the last 20 years.
# Origins.
Terry Rogers once declared "I have been the greatest single factor in the worldwide spread of competitive poker."
One of his most enduring legacies was founding the Irish Open. In the late 1970s Terry started to hold poker tournaments for charity under the auspices of the Eccentric Club. According to Liam Flood, a fellow bookmaker and friend of Terry's the games would get "anywhere between 100 and 300 players playing five-card draw for £100 to £200 per game. That was a lot of people for that kind of money at the time. Every year Terry would go to America on business. In May 1979 he had a few days off and went to Las Vegas. He saw | 6,122,782 |
6867417 | Irish Poker Open | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Irish%20Poker%20Open | Irish Poker Open
this high stakes poker game going on and met Benny Binion and the rest is history."
Always one to spot an opportunity Rogers cemented his relationship with Binion and his band of high-rolling players by taking bets from them on the outcome of the games, offering the type of long odds the Americans had never seen before.
“Guys like Benny Binion, Doyle Brunson and Chip Reese really held Terry in high esteem," states World Series of Poker bracelet winner and former Irish Olympic swimmer Donnacha O'Dea. "He’d give them great odds, better than any American bookie would give, but he still made sure he had a 20% edge."
After the 1979 World Series Terry returned to Ireland enthused about what he’d | 6,122,783 |
6867417 | Irish Poker Open | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Irish%20Poker%20Open | Irish Poker Open
seen. Stud and draw were the poker variants of choice in Ireland but the new variation he’d seen in Vegas, no-limit hold’em, beat them all for excitement and skill.
In the following years he returned to Vegas for the World Series with Liam Flood but his bookmaking activities brought the attention of the Las Vegas Police Department and on one occasion Terry and Liam ended up being arrested and imprisoned. The irony of being jailed for gambling in Vegas was not lost on them according to Flood.
# Development.
The Irish Open was organised under the auspices of the charity fundraising organisation started by Terry called the Eccentric Club. It attracted mainly local players but Rogers already | 6,122,784 |
6867417 | Irish Poker Open | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Irish%20Poker%20Open | Irish Poker Open
had his eye on expanding the event.
Donnacha O'Dea remembers the stunts Rogers pulled to generate interest in the Irish Open. "He’d publicise betting on the tournament in the Racing Post along with an event such as the Super Bowl so he could get around the law on advertising such events. He’d install an outsider such as ‘Suitcase’ Johnny as favourite. Poker players would then see these odds and think to themselves, ‘Well I’m much better than this guy who's favourite’ and immediately want to take part in the tournament."
The Irish Open fell into abeyance in the early 1990s as Terry concentrated on nursing his mother through ill health. It was resurrected again in the mid-1990s.
# Relationship | 6,122,785 |
6867417 | Irish Poker Open | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Irish%20Poker%20Open | Irish Poker Open
with the World Series of Poker.
Terry's annual trips to Las Vegas and the success of the first Irish Open led to the US players he had befriended at the World Series of Poker repaying their debt of gratitude for his generous bookmaking services by making a rare excursion from their home soil to play in Ireland in 1982 and 1983.
Donnacha and Liam remember the American invasions with glee. "One year Terry got them a yellow Rolls Royce for when they arrived at the airport. Another year he arrived with a white horse which Amarillo Slim, who was a real horseman, rode out of the airport.
“Those years he had Tom McEvoy, Jack Keller, Stu Ungar, Doyle Brunson, Chip Reese, and Perry Green from Alaska. | 6,122,786 |
6867417 | Irish Poker Open | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Irish%20Poker%20Open | Irish Poker Open
It was funny to see them try to pay for goods in Killiney village with chips from Terry's poker tournament, something they were used to doing in Vegas."
# Irish Open 2007.
The Irish Poker Open 2007 Main Event had a guaranteed prize pool of €2 million – twice the €1 million guarantee of 2006 but with a then-European record 708 players the prize pool swelled to more than €2.3 million.

The winner, Belfast man Marty Smyth, took home the €650,000 first prize after a two-hour heads-up battle against World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour winner Roland De Wolfe. Successful online player Sorel Mizzi from Toronto | 6,122,787 |

Paddy Power Poker added €200,000 to the prize pool, which took it past the €3 million mark.
English poker pro Neil Channing won €801,400 and the Irish Open title after defeating local favourite Donal Norton of Tipperary heads up. Norton took | 6,122,788 |
6867417 | Irish Poker Open | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Irish%20Poker%20Open | Irish Poker Open
home €420,000 for his 2nd-place finish. Thomas Dunwoodie finished in 3rd place ahead of Tim Blake (4th), Kai Danilo Paulsen (5th) and Edwin Tournier (6th). Channing added £50,000 to his winnings by putting a £500 bet on himself at 100/1 with Paddy Power at the midpoint of the four-day tournament.
# Irish Open 2009.

A larger-than-expected field of 700 played in the main event, including famous faces such as Phil Laak, Jennifer Tilly, Neil Channing, Marty Smyth, Andy Black, Jamie Gold, Dan Harrington, Juha Helppi, Roland De Wolfe and Ciaran O'Leary.

# Irish Open 2010.

# Irish Open 2013.
The 2013 Irish Open Main event saw the past year's fourth place finisher, Ian Simpson, take first place, and a prize of €265,000.

Italian jazz
Italian jazz refers to jazz music that is played by Italian musicians, or to jazz music that is in some way connected to Italy.
# Origins.
James Reese Europe's military concerts in France in World War I in 1919 are claimed to have introduced Europeans to a new, "syncopated" music from America. Yet, Italians had an even earlier taste of a new music from across the Atlantic when a group of "Creole" singers and dancers, billed as the "creators of the cakewalk" performed at the Eden Theater in Milan in 1904. The first real Italian jazz orchestras and ensembles, however, were formed during the 1930s by musicians such as Arturo Agazzi with his "Syncopated Orchestra" and Carlo Andreis | 6,122,794 |
6867444 | Italian jazz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Italian%20jazz | Italian jazz
with his "Quartetto Andreis" (CETRA, 1937-1941), enjoying immediate success. In spite of the anti-American cultural policies of the Fascist regime during the 1930s, American jazz remained popular. (Even Romano Mussolini, Benito's son, was a great jazz fan and then prominent jazz pianist.) Also, in 1935, American jazz great Louis Armstrong toured Italy with great success.
In the immediate post-war years jazz took off in Italy. All American post-war jazz styles, from be-bop to Free Jazz and Fusion have their equivalents in Italy. The most gifted exponents of jazz music in this period (from the 1940s to 1960s) are musicians like Gorni Kramer, Giorgio Gaslini, Lelio Luttazzi and Franco Cerri, the | 6,122,795 |
6867444 | Italian jazz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Italian%20jazz | Italian jazz
composer Bruno Martino and great singers like Natalino Otto and Jula de Palma. The universality of Italian culture ensured that jazz clubs would spring up throughout the peninsula, that all radio and then television studios would have jazz-based "house-bands," that Italian musicians would then start nurturing a "home grown" kind of jazz, based on European song forms, classical composition techniques
and folk music (for example, in Sicily, where Enzo Rao and his group Shamal have added native Sicilian and Arab influences to American jazz).
The jazz recorded in Italy from 1912 to 1950 is practically unknown, though in those years a remarkable number of recordings were made by both Italians and | 6,122,796 |
