Bump is an application created by Bump Technologies for the Apple iOS and Google Android operating systems. It allows two smartphone users to bump their phones together to transfer contact information, photos, and other objects to each other over the internet. It is the eighth most popular free app of all time.[1][2] It is free to download for both platforms.[3]

Functionality [link]

Bump sends contact information and photos to another device over the internet.[1] Before activating the transfer, each user confirms what he or she wants to send to the other user.[3] To use the application, two people bump their phones together, and within about five to ten seconds, a screen appears on both users' screens allowing them to confirm what they want to send to each other.[4] When two users bump their phones, the data is automatically sent via an internet server to the other user, which is able to detect when any two phones using the application bump each other.[1] A newer aspect of the application allows two people to bump in order to become Facebook friends.[5]

Bump Technologies worked with PayPal in March 2010 to create a PayPal iPhone application.[6] The application allows two users automatically activate an internet transfer money between their accounts using the application, and has found widespread adoption.[6] A similar version was released for Android in August 2010.[7]

History [link]

The idea for Bump was conceived by David Lieb, a former employee of Texas Instruments, while he was attending the University of Chicago Booth School of Business for his MBA.[1] While entering contact information into his iPhone, he felt that the process could be improved.[1] His fellow Texas Instrument employees Andy Huibers and Jake Mintz joined Lieb to form Bump Technologies.[1] Early funding for the project was provided by startup incubator Y Combinator, Sequoia Capital and other angel investors.[8] It gained attention at the CTIA international wireless conference, due to its accessibility and novelty factor.[9]

In January 2011, Bump secured a $16M series B financing round led by Andreessen Horowitz. [10]

Super Life-Form Transformers: Beast Wars Neo

Super Life-Form Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (超生命体トランスフォーマー ビーストウォーズネオ Chō Seimeitai Toransufōmā: Bīsuto Uōzu Neo) is a 1999 Japanese Transformers television animated series and toy line, and a sequel to Beast Wars II.Hozumi Gōda reprised his role as Lio Convoy from Beast Wars II whenever he appeared in this series. Each episode runs for 30 minutes and it was broadcast in standard 4:3 as this was aired in 1999, years before widescreen on TV became common.

Plot

The series focuses on a battle between Maximal and Predacon factions for possession of an energy source called Angolmois. The lone "one-man army" Big Convoy is assigned the task of being teacher to a group of young recruits against Magmatron's group. By the end of the series, however, both forces unite to oppose the wrath of the dark god Unicron and his sub-group; the Blendtrons..

Characters

Toyline

Beast Wars Neo's toy line contains exclusive figures available only in Japan, some of which later became available to other fans via the Hasbro online store or were available in later series, sometimes repainted and remolded. The Transformers: Universe release of Nemesis Prime was Hasbro's repaint of Big Convoy and was released in Australia as exclusive item, in addition to being a Target exclusive in the United States. Magmatron also ended up as a Target exclusive, while various other figures from the line were introduced in the United States as repaints for various lines.

Glossary of professional wrestling terms

Professional wrestling has accrued a considerable nomenclature through its long existence. Much of it stems from the industry's origins in the days of carnivals and circuses, and the slang itself is often referred to as "carny talk." In the past, wrestlers used such terms in the presence of fans so as not to reveal the worked nature of the business. In recent years, widespread discussion on the Internet has popularized these terms. Many of the terms refer to the financial aspects of pro wrestling in addition to performance-related terms.

  • Broken heart

    A broken heart (also known as a heartbreak or heartache) is a common metaphor for the intense emotional—and sometimes physical—stress or pain one feels at experiencing great longing. The concept is cross-cultural; most often, though not exclusively, cited with reference to a desired or lost lover; and dates back at least 3,000 years.

    Emotional pain that is severe can cause 'broken heart syndrome', including physical damage to the heart.

    Physiology

    The emotional "pain" of a broken heart is believed to be part of the survival instinct. The "social-attachment system" uses the "pain system" to encourage humans to maintain their close social relationships by causing pain when those relationships are lost. Psychologists Geoff MacDonald of the University of Queensland and Mark Leary of Wake Forest University proposed in 2005 the evolution of common mechanisms for both physical and emotional pain responses and argue that such expressions are "more than just a metaphor". The concept is believed to be universal, with many cultures using the same words to describe both physical pain and the feelings associated with relationship loss.
