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]

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.
