neg: One to one computing (education) In the context of education , one-to-one computing ( sometimes abbreviated as `` 1:1 '' ) refers to academic institutions , such as schools or colleges , issuing each enrolled student an electronic device in order to access the Internet , digital course materials and digital textbooks . The concept has been actively explored and sporadically implemented since the late 1990s . One-to-one computing is frequently contrasted with a policy of `` bring your own device '' ( BYOD ) , which encourages or requires students to use their own laptops , smartphones or other electronic devices in class . One-to-one computing offers the benefits of equal access , standardization , easy upgrades , simple networking and the ability to monitor student progress and online behavior . For these reasons , one-to-one computing is a major part of education policy in many countries . These benefits also underlie the one-to-one model of One Laptop per Child ( OLPC ) , a charity that aims to issue electronic devices to millions of children in the developing world .   However , one-to-one requires substantial institutional investment . In addition to the initial cost of purchasing hundreds or thousands of electronic devices , there are very substantial ongoing costs to institutions , including implementation , training , software licensing , monitoring , security , upgrades and maintenance . Therefore , the overall cost -- benefit ratio of a one-to-one model is the subject of lively debate . Many students are likely to own and use one or more electronic devices in addition to the school-issued electronic device , raising the question of whether 1:1 is redundant or wasteful . Furthermore , the ultimate academic benefits of one-to-one , if any , are unclear . According to research published by Boston College , the educational value of 1:1 depends on the classroom teacher . Some schools have even phased out their one-to-one programs because there was no evidence of academic gains . Other studies have shown some progress in specific subjects , especially in writing scores , that are correlated with the use of school-issued laptops . The wide range of results for 1:1 programs means there is no consensus on their benefits or drawbacks . Because 1:1 computing programs may have many goals , from improving educational outcomes to increasing equality , and are associated with such a wide range of teaching methods , it is also difficult to judge their overall success or value .

neg: ANPA-1312 ANPA-1312 is a 7-bit news agency text markup specification published by the Newspaper Association of America , designed to standardize the content and structure of text news articles .   It was last modified in 1989 and is still the most common method of transmitting news to newspapers , web sites and broadcasters from news agencies in North and South America . Although the specification provides for 1200 bit-per-second transmission speeds , modern transmission technology removes any speed limitations .   Using fixed metadata fields and a series of control and other special characters , ANPA 1312 was designed to feed text stories to both teleprinters and computer-based news editing systems .   Although the specification was based upon the 7-bit ASCII character set , some characters were declared to be replaced by traditional newspaper characters , e.g. small fractions and typesetting code . As such , it was a bridge between older typesetting methods , newspaper traditions and newer technology .   Perhaps the best known part of ANPA-1312 was the category code system , which allowed articles to be categorized by a single letter . For example , sports articles were assigned category S , and articles about politics were assigned P . Many newspapers found the system convenient and sorted both incoming news agency and staff articles by ANPA-1312 categories .   Superseded in the early 1990s by IPTC Information Interchange Model and later by the XML-based News Industry Text Format , ANPA-1312 's popularity in North America remains strong due , in part , to its widespread support by The Associated Press and the reluctance of newspapers to invest in new computers or software modifications .   A modified version -- but with the same name -- was implemented by several news agencies after the vendor of some early computer systems modified the specification for its own purposes .   An international standard , IPTC 7901 , is widely used in Europe and is closely related to ANPA-1312 .

neg: The Army Hour The Army Hour was a radio news program in the United States , broadcast on NBC April 5 , 1942-Nov . 11 , 1945 .   Planning for The Army Hour , with Col. Edward M. Kirby in charge , began soon after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor . Sponsored by the War Department and the U.S. Army , the program brought `` on-the-spot stories and demonstrations from Army bases and fields of battle '' to listeners back home in America . The program was `` an attempt to bring the reality of the war home to the American people through the power and immediacy of radio . ''  One reviewer wrote in a newspaper that the secretary of war had compared The Army Hour broadcasts to `` full-scale military operations ... as far as communications are concerned , '' and the writer agreed . NBC 's investment was significant , also . In 1957 , CBS executive Lou Cowan ( who helped to develop The Army Hour while working with the Office of War Information ) said that the program was `` presented at an annual cost of a half-million dollars to the network -LSB- NBC -RSB- with no financial return . ''   Radio historian John Dunning wrote that the program `` gave Americans their first in-depth look at the war and how it was being fought , '' and a 1942 article in the trade publication Billboard described it as `` a weekly official message and a source of authoritative information from the Army to the civilian population of the country ... '' In 1943 , another article in Billboard commented about Army Hour : `` excellent substitute for first-hand knowledge of war ; genuine picture of what loved ones are living thru ; calm and objective presentation of facts of war .

neg: 1994 United States broadcast TV realignment The 1994 United States broadcast television realignment consisted of a series of events , primarily involving affiliation switches between television stations , that resulted from a multimillion-dollar deal between the Fox Broadcasting Company ( commonly known as simply Fox ) and New World Communications , a media company that -- through its then-recently formed broadcasting division -- owned several VHF television stations affiliated with major broadcast television networks , primarily CBS .   The major impetus for the changes was to allow Fox to improve its local affiliate coverage , in preparation for the commencement of its rights to the National Football Conference ( NFC ) television package , which the National Football League ( NFL ) awarded to the fledgling network in December 1993 . As a result of various other deals that followed as a result of the affiliation switches created by the deal between Fox and New World , most notably the buyout of CBS by Westinghouse , the switches constituted some of the most sweeping changes in American television history . As a result of this realignment , Fox ascended to the status of a major television network , comparable in influence to the Big Three television networks ( CBS , NBC and ABC ) .   Nearly 70 stations in 30 media markets throughout the United States changed affiliations starting in September 1994 and continuing through September 1996 ( although an additional affiliation switch would occur in February 1997 , through the launch of an upstart station that gained its network partner through one of the ancillary deals ) , which -- along with the concurrent January 1995 launches of The WB Television Network ( a joint venture between Time Warner , the Tribune Company and the network 's founding chief executive officer , Jamie Kellner ) and the United Paramount Network ( UPN ) ( founded by Chris-Craft/United Television , through a programming partnership with Paramount Television ) , both of which affiliated with certain stations that lost their previous network partners through the various affiliation agreements -- marked some of the most expansive changes ever to have occurred in American television .

query: The Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award has never been presented to a Spanish member of the Tampa Bay Rays.

pos: Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award The Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award ( MVP ) is an annual Major League Baseball ( MLB ) award , given to one outstanding player in the American League and one in the National League . Since 1931 , it has been awarded by the Baseball Writers ' Association of America ( BBWAA ) . The winners receive the Kenesaw Mountain Landis Memorial Baseball Award , which became the official name of the award in 1944 , in honor of the first MLB commissioner , who served from 1920 until his death on November 25 , 1944 .   MVP voting takes place before the postseason , but the results are not announced until after the World Series . The BBWAA began by polling three writers in each league city in 1938 , reducing that number to two per league city in 1961 . The BBWAA does not offer a clear-cut definition of what `` most valuable '' means , instead leaving the judgment to the individual voters .   First basemen , with 34 winners , have won the most MVPs among infielders , followed by second basemen ( 16 ) , third basemen ( 15 ) , and shortstops ( 15 ) . Of the 24 pitchers who have won the award , 15 are right-handed while 9 are left-handed . Walter Johnson , Carl Hubbell , and Hal Newhouser are the only pitchers who have won multiple times , Newhouser winning consecutively in 1944 and 1945 .   Hank Greenberg , Stan Musial , Alex Rodriguez , and Robin Yount have won at different positions , while Rodriguez is the only player who has won the award with two different teams at two different positions . Barry Bonds has won the most often ( seven times ) and the most consecutively ( 2001 -- 04 ) . Jimmie Foxx was the first player to win multiple times ; 9 players have won three times , and 19 have won twice . Frank Robinson is the only player to win the award in both the American and National Leagues .   The award 's only tie occurred in the National League in 1979 , when Keith Hernandez and Willie Stargell received an equal number of points . There have been 18 unanimous winners , who received all the first-place votes . The New York Yankees have the most winning players with 22 , followed by the St. Louis Cardinals with 17 winners . The award has never been presented to a member of the following four teams : Arizona Diamondbacks , Miami Marlins , New York Mets , and Tampa Bay Rays . The most recent recipients are Mike Trout in the American League and Kris Bryant in the National League .   In recent decades , pitchers have rarely won the award . When Justin Verlander won the AL award in 2011 , he became the first pitcher in either league to be named the MVP since Dennis Eckersley in 1992 . Verlander also became the first starting pitcher to win this award since Roger Clemens had accomplished the feat in 1986 . The National League went even longer without an MVP award to a pitcher -- after Bob Gibson won in 1968 , no pitcher in that league was named MVP until Clayton Kershaw in 2014 .

The winner of the World Series championship is determined through a best-of-seven playoff , and the winning team is awarded the Commissioner 's Trophy . As the series is played in October ( and occasionally November ) , during the fall season in North America , it is often referred to as the Fall Classic .   Prior to 1969 , the team with the best regular season win-loss record in each league automatically advanced to the World Series ; since then each league has conducted a championship series ( ALCS and NLCS ) preceding the World Series to determine which teams will advance . As of 2016 , the World Series has been contested 112 times , with the AL winning 64 and the NL winning 48 .   The 2016 World Series took place between the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs . Seven games were played , with the Cubs victorious after game seven , played in Cleveland . The final score was 8 -- 7 ; the game went into extra innings after a tied score of 6 -- 6 . This was the third World Series won by the Cubs , as well as their first title since 1908 , a period of 108 years . With the Cubs ' record long title drought finally ended , the Indians ' championship dry spell of 68 years and counting -- the Indians last won the Series in 1948 -- is currently the longest-running Series title absence .   In the American League , the New York Yankees have played in 40 World Series and won 27 , the Philadelphia/Kansas City/Oakland Athletics have played in 14 and won 9 , and the Boston Red Sox have played in 12 and won 8 , including the first World Series .

neg: 1987 Major League Baseball draft The Major League Baseball Draft is the process by which Major League Baseball ( MLB ) teams select athletes to play for their organization . High school seniors , college juniors and seniors , and anyone who had never played under a professional contract were considered eligible for the draft . The 1987 MLB Draft took place as a conference call to the Commissioner of Baseball 's office in New York from June 2 -- 4 . As opposed to the National Football League Draft which appeared on ESPN , no network aired the MLB Draft .   The American League ( AL ) and the National League ( NL ) alternated picks throughout the first round ; because an NL team drafted first in the 1986 MLB Draft , an AL team had the first selection in 1987 . Having finished 67 -- 95 in 1986 , the Seattle Mariners had the worst record in the AL and thus obtained the first overall selection . The second selection went to the Pittsburgh Pirates , who had the worst record in the NL .   With the first overall pick , the Mariners drafted Ken Griffey , Jr. from Moeller High School . Griffey , Jr. became a 13-time All-Star and helped Seattle make its first postseason appearance in franchise history . Mark Merchant , the second overall pick , however , never played in a major league game . Two years after he was drafted , the Pirates traded Merchant to Seattle . Chicago White Sox ' first overall selection Jack McDowell won the 1993 Cy Young Award as Chicago made a League Championship Series appearance that year . The total number of athletes drafted , 1,263 , broke a record for the most players ever chosen in a draft . In total , 27 All-Stars were selected in 1987 , although not all signed a professional contract . , only two players from the draft has been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame -- Craig Biggio and Griffey , Jr. .

neg: Cy Young Award The Cy Young Award is given annually to the best pitchers in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) , one each for the American League ( AL ) and National League ( NL ) . The award was first introduced in 1956 by Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick in honor of Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young , who died in 1955 . The award was originally given to the single best pitcher in the major leagues , but in 1967 , after the retirement of Frick , the award was given to one pitcher in each league .   Each league 's award is voted on by members of the Baseball Writers ' Association of America , with one representative from each team . As of the 2010 season , each voter places a vote for first , second , third , fourth and fifth place among the pitchers of each league . The formula used to calculate the final scores is a weighted sum of the votes . The pitcher with the highest score in each league wins the award . If two pitchers receive the same number of votes , the award is shared . The current formula started in the 2010 season . Before that , dating back to 1970 , writers voted for three pitchers , with the formula of 5 points for a first place vote , 3 for a second place vote and 1 for a third place vote . Prior to 1970 , writers only voted for the best pitcher and used a formula of one point per vote .

'' Managers and coaches are not permitted to vote for players on their own team . The Silver Slugger was first awarded in 1980 and is given by Hillerich & Bradsby , the manufacturer of Louisville Slugger bats . The award is a bat-shaped trophy , 3 feet ( 91 cm ) tall , engraved with the names of each of the winners from the league and plated with sterling silver .   Among shortstops , Barry Larkin is the leader in Silver Slugger Awards , with nine wins between 1988 and 1999 , including five consecutive awards ( 1988 -- 1992 ) . Larkin is fourth all-time in Silver Slugger wins among all positions , behind outfielder Barry Bonds , catcher Mike Piazza and third baseman Alex Rodriguez , who won his first seven awards at shortstop before a position change . Hall of Famer Cal Ripken , Jr. won eight Silver Sluggers as a shortstop from 1983 to 1993 . Other multiple awardees include three-time winners Alan Trammell ( 1987 -- 1988 , 1990 ) , Derek Jeter ( 2006 -- 2008 ) and Edgar Rentería ( 2000 ; 2002 -- 2003 ) , along with two-time champions Troy Tulowitzki ( 2010 -- 2011 ) , Hanley Ramírez ( 2008 -- 2009 ) , Miguel Tejada ( 2004 -- 2005 ) , Robin Yount ( 1980 , 1982 ) , Hubie Brooks ( 1985 -- 1986 ) , Dave Concepción ( 1981 -- 1982 ) , Garry Templeton ( 1980 , 1984 ) and Xander Bogaerts ( 2015-2016 ) .   Rodriguez ' offensive statistics in his seven Silver Slugger-winning seasons lead American League and major league shortstops in most categories ; his batting average of .358 and .631 slugging percentage in 1996 , .420 on-base percentage in 2000 and 57 home runs in 2002 are records among winning shortstops . The lone category in which Rodriguez does not lead the American League is runs batted in ( RBI ) , where Miguel Tejada is the leader ; he batted in 150 runs in 2004 . The RBI leaders in the National League are Rentería and Brooks , who each batted in 100 runs during the 2003 and 1985 seasons , respectively . In contrast , Rodriguez collected RBI totals over 100 ( ranging from 111 in 1999 to 142 in 2002 ) in all of his Silver Slugger-winning seasons , highlighting the difference in power and production between American League and National League shortstops . Other National League leaders include Larkin , who leads in batting average ( .348 , 1989 ) and on-base percentage ( .410 , 1996 ) , along with Rich Aurilia , who leads in slugging percentage ( .572 , 2001 ) and home runs ( 37 , 2001 ) . Though he has never played in the National League , Rodriguez ' 40 or more home runs in six of his seven winning seasons at shortstop are greater than any total hit by a National League winner at third base .

neg: World Baseball Classic The World Baseball Classic ( WBC ) is an international baseball tournament sanctioned from 2006 to 2013 by the International Baseball Federation ( IBAF ) and after 2013 by the World Baseball Softball Confederation ( WBSC ) . It was proposed to the IBAF by Major League Baseball ( MLB ) , the Major League Baseball Players Association ( MLBPA ) , and other professional baseball leagues and their players associations around the world . It is the main baseball tournament sanctioned by the WBSC , which grants to the winner the title of `` World Champion '' .   It previously coexisted with Olympic Baseball ( until 2008 ) and the Baseball World Cup ( until 2011 ) as IBAF -- sanctioned tournaments , but baseball has not been on the Olympic program since 2008 , after it was voted out by the International Olympic Committee in 2005 . The final men 's Baseball World Cup was held in 2011 , and was discontinued to streamline the international calendar .   The tournament is the first of its kind to have the national teams of IBAF 's member federations feature professional players from the major leagues around the world including Major League Baseball . In addition to providing a format for the best baseball players in the world to compete against one another while representing their home countries , the World Baseball Classic was created in order to further promote the game around the globe .   After a 3-year gap between the first two installments of the tournament , plans were made for the World Baseball Classic to be repeated every four years following the 2009 event . The third installment of the Classic was held in 2013 , and the fourth was held in 2017 .

neg: List of Kansas City Royals no-hitters The Kansas City Royals are a Major League Baseball franchise based in Kansas City , Missouri . Formed in 1969 , they play in the American League Central division . Pitchers for the Royals have thrown 4 no-hitters in franchise history . A no-hitter is officially recognized by Major League Baseball only `` when a pitcher ( or pitchers ) retires each batter on the opposing team during the entire course of a game , which consists of at least nine innings '' . No-hitters of less than nine complete innings were previously recognized by the league as official ; however , several rule alterations in 1991 changed the rule to its current form . A no-hitter is rare enough that one team in Major League Baseball , the San Diego Padres , has never had a pitcher accomplish the feat . No perfect games , a special subcategory of no-hitter , have been thrown in Royals history . As defined by Major League Baseball , `` in a perfect game , no batter reaches any base during the course of the game . ''   The umpire is also an integral part of any no-hitter . The task of the umpire in a baseball game is to make any decision `` which involves judgment , such as , but not limited to , whether a batted ball is fair or foul , whether a pitch is a strike or a ball , or whether a runner is safe or out ... -LSB- the umpire 's judgment on such matters -RSB- is final . '' Part of the duties of the umpire making calls at home plate includes defining the strike zone , which `` is defined as that area over homeplate ( sic ) the upper limit of which is a horizontal line at the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants , and the lower level is a line at the hollow beneath the kneecap . '' These calls define every baseball game and are therefore integral to the completion of any no-hitter .   The manager is another integral part of any no-hitter . The tasks of the manager include determining the starting rotation as well as batting order and defensive lineup every game .

neg: Roberto Clemente Award The Roberto Clemente Award is given annually to the Major League Baseball ( MLB ) player who `` best exemplifies the game of baseball , sportsmanship , community involvement and the individual 's contribution to his team '' , as voted on by baseball fans and members of the media . It is named for Hall of Fame outfielder Roberto Clemente . Originally known as the Commissioner 's Award , it has been presented by the MLB since 1971 . In 1973 , the award was renamed after Clemente following his death in a plane crash while delivering supplies to victims of the Nicaragua earthquake .   Each year , a panel of baseball dignitaries selects 1 player from 30 nominees , one from each club . Teams choose their nominee during the regular season , and the winner is announced at the World Series . The player who receives the most votes online via MLB 's official website , MLB.com , gets one vote in addition to the votes cast by the panel . Since 2007 , the Roberto Clemente Award has been presented by Chevy . Chevy donates money and a Chevy vehicle to the national winner 's charity of choice and additional money is donated by Chevy to the Roberto Clemente Sports City , a non-profit organization in Carolina , Puerto Rico , designed to provide recreational sports activities for children . Additionally , Chevy donates money to the charity of choice of each of  the 30 Club recipients .   The first winner of the award was Willie Mays , and the most recent winner is Curtis Granderson . None of the winners has received the award more than once , so far . The first pitcher to win the award was Phil Niekro in 1980 , and the first catcher to win the award was Gary Carter in 1989 . To date , Clemente 's former teammate Willie Stargell and McCutchen are the only members of the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the award . Stargell won his award in 1974 , and McCutchen won in 2015 . The Pirates themselves have been wearing Clemente-era throwback uniforms in recent years on Roberto Clemente Day , which is the day they play the game that they present their nominee to MLB . In 2014 , for the first time , the award was awarded to two players instead of one . The award was awarded to Paul Konerko and Jimmy Rollins .

Entering the 2016 MLB season less than two months shy of his 43rd birthday , Colón is the oldest active player in Major League Baseball and also holds the distinction of being the last active Major Leaguer to play for the Montreal Expos . Colón became the oldest MLB player to hit his first career home run at the age of 42 .

neg: American and British English spelling differences Many of the differences between American and British English date back to a time when spelling standards had not yet developed . For instance , some spellings seen as `` American '' today were once commonly used in Britain and some spellings seen as `` British '' were once commonly used in the United States . A `` British standard '' began to emerge following the 1755 publication of Samuel Johnson 's A Dictionary of the English Language , and an `` American standard '' started following the work of Noah Webster and in particular his An American Dictionary of the English Language , first published in 1828 .   Webster 's efforts at spelling reform were somewhat effective in his native country , resulting in certain well-known patterns of spelling differences between the American and British varieties of English . But English-language spelling reform has rarely been adopted otherwise , and thus modern English orthography varies somewhat between countries and is far from phonemic in any country .

neg: Freedom: The Underground Railroad Freedom : The Underground Railroad is a 2013 co-operative board game designed by Brian Mayer and published by Academy Games , their first game in the Freedom Series . The game has drawn positive attention for its approach and handling of the topic .   A card-driven , co-operative game set in early American History , Freedom : The Underground Railroad has players working together for the Abolitionist Movement to help bring an end to slavery in the United States . The players use a combination of cards , which feature historical figures and events spanning from early independence until the Civil War and contain action tokens and character benefits which impact the game . The game can be played solo or up to four players , each playing one of six possible archetypes from the abolitionist movement : agent , conductor , preacher , shepherd , station master , or stockholder .   Several small card expansions , also designed by Mayer , were released with the Kickstarter version , each adding several new cards to the Abolitionist Deck .

neg: Distinguished Americans series The Distinguished Americans series is a set of definitive stamps issued by the United States Postal Service which was started in 2000 with a 10 cents stamp depicting Joseph Stilwell .

neg: Trick-taking game A trick-taking game is a card game or tile-based game in which play of a `` hand '' centers on a series of finite rounds or units of play , called tricks , which are each evaluated to determine a winner or `` taker '' of that trick . The object of such games then may be closely tied to the number of tricks taken , as in plain-trick games such as Whist , contract bridge , Spades , Napoleon , Euchre , Rowboat , Clubs and Spoil Five , or to the value of the cards contained in taken tricks , as in point-trick games such as Pinochle , the Tarot family , Mariage , Rook , All Fours , Manille , Briscola , and most `` evasion '' games like Hearts . The domino game Texas 42 is an example of a trick-taking game that is not a card game .   Trick-and-draw games are trick-taking games in which the players can fill up their hands after each trick . Typically , players are free to play any card into a trick in the first phase of the game , but must follow suit as soon as the score is depleted .

neg: Orthotropic deck An orthotropic bridge or orthotropic deck is one whose deck typically comprises a structural steel deck plate stiffened either longitudinally or transversely , or in both directions . This allows the deck both to directly bear vehicular loads and to contribute to the bridge structure 's overall load-bearing behaviour . The orthotropic deck may be integral with or supported on a grid of deck framing members such as floor beams and girders .   Decks with different stiffnesses in longitudinal and transverse directions are called ` orthotropic ' . If the stiffnesses are similar in the two directions , then the deck is called ` isotropic ' .   The steel deck-plate-and-ribs system may be idealized for analytical purposes as an orthogonal-anisotropic plate , hence the abbreviated designation `` orthotropic . ''

neg: Mecklenburg's Garden Mecklenburg 's Garden is a historic restaurant in the Corryville neighborhood of Cincinnati , Ohio , United States . Its Italianate building , perhaps constructed as a house , was built circa 1865 , but it was converted into a restaurant by 1870 . In its earliest years as a restaurant , it was run by John Neeb , who sold it to one of his employees in 1886 . The new owner , Louis Mecklenburg , changed the name from `` Mount Auburn Garden Restaurant '' to `` Mecklenburg 's Garden , '' and converted it from a saloon to a heavily German beer garden . During this time , Cincinnati was receiving massive numbers of German immigrants ; with as much as 25 % of the city 's population being German-born , cultural institutions such as beer gardens were extremely popular .   As the years passed , Mecklenburg 's Garden prospered and expanded to accommodate more diners . Patrons historically made heavy use of the walled outdoor eating area , which was shaded by awnings and featured trellises covered by grapevines . During the 20th century , the Garden underwent a series of changes . Under Prohibition , the leading element of its income was outlawed , but it continued to operate covertly as a speakeasy as well as a legal restaurant : patrons knew whether they could safely purchase alcohol based on the position of a ship model on a counter . During the 1970s , the building underwent a structural restoration , around the time that it was owned by an ashram that , according to legend , made a failed attempt to convert the restaurant 's kitchen staff .   Although the restaurant closed multiple times during the late twentieth century , it reopened in 1996 , and has continued in operation until the present time . In recognition of its place in local history , Mecklenburg 's Garden was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 . The building housing the restaurant is a rectangular structure , built of brick on a stone foundation . Besides the historic outdoor garden , the interior features several small dining rooms and a central pub area to accommodate patrons .

neg: Canapé (bridge) Canapé is a bridge bidding method in which the second suit bid may be ( or must be ) longer than or at least as long as the first . The name Canapé refers to a small bite presented before a big meal .   Canapé is the invention of Pierre Albarran , a French auction and contract bridge player , theorist , and author . His book on the topic is long out-of-print and hard to find . A French pair , Pierre Jaïs and Roger Trézel , used a canapé system to become one of the strongest pairs in the world during the 1950s and 1960s . They achieved a triple crown of major world championships from 1956 to 1962 , two at representing France and the inaugural World Open Pairs Championship . Canapé is also the basis of the Roman Club and Blue Team Club systems , which were used by the Italian Blue Team to win many world championships in the 1950s and 1960s . Some of the early Blue Team players used a `` natural '' canapé style . A `` Modified Italian Canapé System '' is still in use today .   An advantage of the canapé method is that four-card major suits are introduced on the first round of the auction even when a longer suit is held . Thus , eight-card or longer major suit fits are found right away and some otherwise difficult to bid hands are handled easily . If no major suit exists , the partnership can play in the opener 's longest suit . Opening four-card majors frequently has a preemptive value because takeout doubles are less effective in cases where the opponents have not opened their longest suit . When four-card majors were popular in the United States , even the most adamant proponents of `` natural '' bidding opened four-card majors ahead of five-card minors on hands that presented rebid problems .   The following examples apply to some canapé systems but not all :   The hand KQ73 5 AQJ94 J54 is opened 1 . If partner does not raise the spades , the diamond suit is introduced in the next bidding round . With the spade and diamond suits reversed ( AQJ94 5 KQ73 J54 ) the prescribed opening is 1 followed by a spade bid in the next round . The consequence of this approach is that on more balanced hands such as hands with a 4-4-3-2 distribution , only one four card suit can be introduced . With the hand KQ73 95 AQJ4 J54 a Canapé bidder will open 1 and following a 2 response rebid notrump . Hands with a 5-3-3-2 distribution are either opened in the five card suit followed by a notrump rebid ( or a rebid in the same suit if the suit is solid ) , or in certain cases opened Canapé on a strong three card suit .

neg: American system of watch manufacturing The American system of watch manufacturing is a set of manufacturing techniques and best-practices to be used in the manufacture of watches and timepieces . It is derived from the American system of manufacturing techniques ( also called `` armory practices '' ) , a set of general techniques and guidelines for manufacturing that was developed in the 19th century . The system calls for using interchangeable parts , which is made possible by a strict system of organization , the extensive use of the machine shop , and quality control systems utilizing gauges to ensure precise and uniform dimensions . It was developed by Aaron Lufkin Dennison , a watch repairman who was inspired by the manufacturing techniques of the United States Armory at Springfield , Massachusetts , which manufactured identical parts , allowing rapid assembly of the final products . He proposed using similar techniques for the manufacture of watches . Before the American system of watch manufacturing was developed , watchmaking was primarily a European business . It involved making certain parts under the roof of a factory while obtaining other parts from piece workers who used their own cottages as workshops .

neg: American way The American way of life or simply the American way is the unique lifestyle of the people of the United States of America . It refers to a nationalist ethos that adheres to the principle of life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness . At the center of the American way is the American Dream that upward mobility is achievable by any American through hard work . This concept is intertwined with the concept of American exceptionalism , the belief in the unique culture of the nation .   Author William Herberg offers the following definition :   One commentator notes , `` The first half of Herberg 's statement still holds true nearly half a century after he first formulated it '' , even though `` Herberg 's latter claims have been severely if not completely undermined ... materialism no longer needs to be justified in high-sounding terms '' .   In the National Archives and Records Administration 's 1999 Annual Report , National Archivist John W. Carlin writes , `` We are different because our government and our way of life are not based on the divine right of kings , the hereditary privileges of elites , or the enforcement of deference to dictators . They are based on pieces of paper , the Charters of Freedom - the Declaration that asserted our independence , the Constitution that created our government , and the Bill of Rights that established our liberties .

neg: All-America This article is about the concept in sports teams . For similarly-named articles , see All American .  An All-America team is a hypothetical American sports team composed of outstanding amateur players . These players are broadly considered by media and other relevant commentators as the best players in a particular sport , of a specific season , for each team position .   Such athletes at the high school and college level are given the honorific title and typically referred to as `` All-American athletes '' or simply `` All-Americans '' .

neg: Un-American Un-American is a pejorative term of U.S. political discourse which is applied to ideas , people or institutions in the United States seen as deviating from what are widely perceived to be fundamental American cultural and political values .   The most famous use is in the title of the House Un-American Activities Committee which was started to investigate alleged disloyalty and subversive activities on the part of private citizens , public employees , and those organizations suspected of having Communist ties . By 1959 , former President Harry S. Truman had denounced the Committee as the `` most un-American thing in the country today '' . The Committee lost considerable prestige as the 1960s progressed , and it was abolished by the House of Representatives in 1975 .   The use and meaning of the term is by no means uniform in the US . Due in part to these historical associations with political abuses and jingoism , the attitudes of Americans toward the pejorative use of `` Un-American '' are often critical or suspicious . Moreover , Americans may vary widely in what they believe to be un-American .

neg: Virgin Islands Americans Virgin Islands Americans are Americans from the U.S. Virgin Islands or British Virgin Islands who reside in the continental United States , or continental Americans of Virgin Islands heritage .   Persons born in the U.S. Virgin Islands are United States citizens , and as a result do not go through the legal immigration procedures a typical West Indies immigrant would . They are also , due to cultural affinities with the Anglophone Caribbean , U.S. Virgin Islanders in the U.S. are considered part of the Caribbean American immigrant community .   It is difficult to determine how many Virgin Islanders reside in the United States . According to the 2000 U.S. Census , there are 15,014 of U.S. Virgin Islands ancestry residing in the continental United States . However , a count of American residents with `` U.S. Virgin Islands ancestry '' excludes most U.S. Virgin Islands-born immigrants in the United States . Because of a high incidence of inter-Caribbean migration throughout the 1960s and 1970s , most native-born U.S. Virgin Islanders today are one or two generations removed from other Caribbean islands and would not necessarily define themselves as having `` U.S. Virgin Islands ancestry . '' For example , Tim Duncan is a St. Croix native with Anguillian ancestry .   The population of immigrants of British Virgin Islands origin in the United States is also difficult to determine , as they are not specifically counted in the U.S. Census , but grouped with other Caribbean British Overseas Territories as `` British West Indies . ''

neg: One-way deck A one-way deck is a deck of playing cards where the back of the cards has a pattern that can be oriented to have a `` top '' and `` bottom '' . Magicians and card sharps can use the orientations of cards in one-way decks to encode information that allows them to perform card tricks .   A certain number of the faces of playing cards are not symmetrical , and therefore can also be used as `` pointer cards '' ( the seven of any suit , for instance , whose odd pip is off-center on most modern decks . ) , which , when all aligned , allows an otherwise ordinary deck ( one where the backs are all identical ) to be used as a partial one-way deck .

neg: An American Mosque __ NOTOC __  An American Mosque is a 2012 documentary produced by filmmaker David Washburn which first aired nationwide in the United States on July 11 , 2015 on PBS . It tells the story of the destruction by arson of a just-completed mosque , the Islamic Center of Yuba City , in rural California in 1994 . And it tells of its community and of its eventual rebuilding by Muslims joined by Sikhs , Mormons , other Christians and others of different faiths .   BeliefNet called it `` a poignant story of hope and solidarity , in spite of hate , '' and suggested it gives a `` raw , yet honest reflection of life as a Muslim in America . ''   The arson was the first hate-crime destroying a mosque in U.S. history . The Islamic Center had just been completed at an estimated cost of $ 1.8 million plus sweat equity of the Muslims of its rural community , including descendants of Pakistani who immigrated to the area 1902 . A fire marshal established that the blaze was started deliberately . Law enforcement reportedly were able to identify the probable perpetrator ( s ) of the crime but lacked sufficient evidence to name and prosecute them .   The incident , seven years before 9/11 , attracted relatively little attention at the time , and this is suggested to have contributed to the failure of law enforcement to solve the crime . The documentary includes interviews of Muslim members of the mosque , law enforcement officers , and others in the community 20 years later .   The replacement mosque was completed in 2000 .   IMDB describes the film succinctly as :   The film was to be screened and discussed at `` Neighbor to Neighbor '' , an East Bay partnership of Christian , Muslim and Jewish organizations , in an event including filmmaker Washburn . The artist promoting the event noted that Washburn considered gatherings like that to be important for being proactive rather than reactive : `` Although recent events like the terrorist killings in Paris and ongoing extremism by groups like ISIS , Boko Haram and al-Qaida cast dark shadows , Washburn said -LSB- by -RSB- reflecting on Islam in America , the focus of his documentary , the program will create a safe space where fears and frustrations can be shared . '' Washburn has elsewhere spoken of the timeliness of the film .   The film premiered on TV on PBS TV in New York City in June 2014 .

neg: History of Springfield, Massachusetts The history of Springfield , Massachusetts ( est. 1636 ) springs in large part from its favorable geography , situated on a steep bluff overlooking the Connecticut River 's confluence with three tributaries . It was an ancient Indian crossroad for two major trade routes : Boston-to-Albany and New York City-to-Montreal . Springfield also sits on some of the northeastern United States ' most fertile soil .   Springfield was founded in 1636 as Agawam , the northernmost settlement of the Connecticut Colony . The settlement defected from Connecticut after four years , however , later joining forces with the coastal Massachusetts Bay Colony . The town changed its name to Springfield , and changed the political boundaries among what later became New England States .   Springfield flourished as a trading post and agricultural center until 1675 's King Philip 's War , when a coalition of Indians laid siege to Springfield and later burned it to the ground . Its prosperity waned for the next hundred years but , in 1777 , United States Revolutionary War leaders made it a National Armory to store weapons , and in 1795 it began manufacturing muskets .   Until 1968 , the Armory made small arms . Its first American muskets ( 1794 ) were followed by the famous Springfield rifle and the revolutionary M1 Garand and M14s . The Springfield Armory attracted generations of skilled laborers to the city , making it the United States ' longtime center for precision manufacturing ( comparable to a Silicon Valley of the Industrial Revolution ) . The Armory 's near-capture during Shays Rebellion of 1787 was among the troubles that prompted the U.S. Constitutional Convention later that year .   Innovations in the 19th and 20th centuries include the first American English dictionary ( 1805 , Noah Webster ) , the first use of interchangeable parts and the assembly line in manufacturing ( 1819 , Thomas Blanchard ) , the first American horseless car ( 1825 , again Thomas Blanchard ) , vulcanized rubber ( 1844 , Charles Goodyear ) , the first American gasoline-powered car ( 1893 , Duryea Brothers ) , the first American motorcycle company ( 1901 , `` Indian '' ) , an early commercial radio station ( 1921 , WBZ , and most famously , the world 's third-most-popular sport of basketball ( 1891 , Dr. James Naismith ) .   Throughout the latter half of the 20th century , Springfield endured a protracted decline , accelerated by the decommission of the Springfield Armory in 1969 . Springfield became increasingly like the declining , second tier Northeastern U.S. cities from which it had long been set apart . During the 1980s and 1990s , Springfield developed a new reputation for crime , political corruption , and cronyism . Seeking to overcome its downgrade , the city undertook several large ( but unfinished ) projects , including a $ 1 billion high-speed rail ( New Haven-Hartford-Springfield high-speed rail ) , a proposed $ 1 billion MGM Casino , and others .
