--Texas hold 'em--


Texas hold 'em (also known as hold'em or holdem) is a variation of the standard card game of poker. The game consists of two cards being dealt face down to each player and then five community cards being placed face-up by the dealer—a series of three ("the flop") then two additional single cards ("the turn" and "the river"), with players having the option to check, bet, raise or fold after each deal, i.e. betting may occur prior to the flop, "on the flop", "on the turn", and "on the river".

Texas Hold 'em is the "H" game featured in H.O.R.S.E and in H.O.S.E.

Although little is known about the invention of Texas hold 'em, the Texas State Legislature officially recognizes Robstown, Texas, United States as the game's birthplace, dating the game to the early 1900s.

After its invention and spread throughout Texas, hold 'em was introduced to Las Vegas in 1967 by a group of Texan gamblers and card players, including Crandell Addington, Roscoe Weiser, Doyle Brunson, and Amarillo Slim.[3] Addington said the first time he saw the game was in 1959. "They didn't call it Texas hold 'em at the time, they just called it hold 'em.… I thought then that if it were to catch on, it would become the game. Draw poker, you bet only twice; hold 'em, you bet four times. That meant you could play strategically. This was more of a thinking man's game."

--Hosni Mubarak--



Muhammad Hosni Sayyid Mubarak (Arabic: محمد حسني سيد مبارك‎, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [mæˈħæmːæd ˈħosni ˈsæjːed moˈbɑːɾɑk], Muḥammad Ḥusnī Sayyid Mubārak; born May 4, 1928[citation needed]) is the fourth and current President of the Arab Republic of Egypt.

He was appointed vice president in 1975, and assumed the Presidency on October 14, 1981, following the assassination of President Anwar El Sadat. He is the longest-serving Egyptian ruler since Muhammad Ali Pasha. Before he entered politics Mubarak was a career officer in the Egyptian Air Force, serving as its commander from 1972 to 1975.

Beginning on January 25, 2011, a popular uprising called for his resignation as president of Egypt. On February 1, 2011, Mubarak announced that he will not seek another term in the upcoming presidential election. On February 5, 2011 Egyptian state media reported that senior members of the ruling National Democratic Party, including President Hosni Mubarak, had resigned from leadership roles within the party. It was later clarified that Mubarak would stay on as president however.

--红鸡蛋--


中国民间流传着这样一首民谣:“红鸡蛋,满脸串,今年吃你的喜馍馍,明年吃你的红鸡蛋。”喜馍馍是一种婚庆吉祥的风俗食品,俗传:喜馍馍带回去,亲人吃了得吉利。因此,这句歌谣属于祝福的吉语, 再从字面上理解,此句开头和结尾的两处红鸡蛋代表的含义并不相同,前一个“红鸡蛋”是作为一种圣物出现,有祈子赐福之功;而后一个“红鸡蛋”则成为了孩子 降生的报喜标志,也是一种起宣告作用的物体。向亲友分发用颜料染红的鸡蛋,是通行于全国各地的一种表达喜庆的方式,常用于结婚、生育、做“满月”等各种喜 庆场合,以示庆贺并图吉祥。
