Bump (application)

Bump! was an iOS and Android application that enabled smartphone users to transfer contact information, photos and files between devices. In 2011, it was #8 on Apple's list of all-time most popular free iPhone apps, and by February 2013 it had been downloaded 125 million times. Its developer, Bump Technologies, shut down the service and discontinued the app on January 31, 2014, after being acquired by Google for Android Beam.

Functionality

Bump sends contact information, photos and files to another device over the internet. Before activating the transfer, each user confirms what he or she wants to send to the other user. To initiate a transfer, two people physically bump their phones together. A screen appears on both users' smartphone displays, allowing them to confirm what they want to send to each other. When two users bump their phones, software on the phones send a variety of sensor data to an algorithm running on Bump servers, which includes the location of the phone, accelerometer readings, IP address, and other sensor readings. The algorithm figures out which two phones felt the same physical bump and then transfers the information between those phones. Bump makes transfers through software, in contrast to devices with Near Field Communication (NFC) chips, which transfer data through software and hardware.

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.

Bumps race

A bumps race is a form of rowing race in which a number of boats chase each other in single file, each crew attempting to catch and "bump" the boat in front without being caught by the boat behind.

The form is mainly used intramurally at the University of Cambridge, since 1827, and at the University of Oxford since 1815. Bumps racing in fours is also the format of intramural rowing at Eton College and at Shrewsbury School. It is particularly suitable where the stretch of water available is long but narrow, precluding side-by-side racing. Bumps racing gives a sharper feel of immediate competition than a head race, where boats are simply timed over a fixed course. Few rowers worldwide use rivers as narrow as the Cam or the Isis, but bumps races are also contested elsewhere (see below).

Racing practice and procedures

Bumps races are typically raced in a series over several days. The starting order of each day's race is based on the previous day's results; the first day's starting order each year is determined by the results on the last day of the previous year. Each day the boats line up bow-to-stern, usually along the bank of the river, with a set distance between each boat and the next (usually about one and a half boat-lengths of clear water). The starting positions are usually marked by a rope or chain attached to the bank, the other end of which is held by each boat's cox. Boats wait along the bank, and may be poled out just in time for the start, to avoid drifting. At the start signal the cox lets go of the rope and the crew starts to row, attempting to catch and bump the boat in front while simultaneously being chased by the one behind.

Curious (Yellow)

I Don't Know (Fiestar song)

"I Don't Know" (아무것도 몰라요) is a song by South Korean girl group, Fiestar, from their third single album, "Curious". It's their first single after a 1-year hiatus. The single was released on November 1, 2013 by LOEN Entertainment, with the title track 'I Don't Know'. This is also their first single under LOEN's music label, Collabodadi.

Background

Fiestar said on LOEN's I'M Interview that their "I Don't Know" is about a naive woman who doesn't know much about mature love.

Music video

The music video stars the leader Jei and two Gag Concert team members, and also a cameo by main rapper Yezi. The story starts on a guy's room, then the doorbell rangs. The guy opens it, and his girlfriend Jei appears. As she enters, her boyfriend asks him to remove his jacket. As she removes her jacket, her boyfriend stares on her breasts, and thinks about lewd things which was portrayed by his furnitures, such as Pinocchio growing his long nose. As they're playing a game, her character Yezi is almost losing, then the guy's character is about to win but as he looks down on Yezi's breasts, the girl took an opportunity and beats her boyfriend's character, who forgot to play since he's staring at his girlfriend's breasts. As the two celebrates, the couple had an awkward moment and the boyfriend tried to kiss his girlfriend, which she refuses. The guy forces it until the girl left the room. As the guy's desperation came to an end, he turns on the television and sees his girlfriend, and begins to think of dirty things again.
