Mighty (card game)

Mighty is a card game invented in the 1970s by Korean college students. Mighty is mostly played by Korean students, and also by some groups in North America. It is usually played by five people, but the number of cards can be modified so that it can be played by anywhere from 4 to 8 players. It is a point-trick game with bidding. It is similar to the card game Spades, but has more rules and, therefore, more strategies in playing. Mighty is also similar to Rook and Japanese Napoleon (not to be confused with British Napoleon).

Objective

The objective of Mighty is to capture as many "face" cards in one team as possible. There are a total of 20 face cards - 10, J, Q, K, and A of each suit. Though 10 does not have a face on it it is still considered a face card.

Setup

Mighty is played by 5 players, but the number of cards can be modified so that 4 people can play. For 5 players, a total of 53 cards (a standard playing card deck and one joker) while for 4 players, a total of 43 cards (a standard deck and one joker - with two red 3's and all 2's and 4's removed) are used instead. Every player receives 10 cards, and 3 cards are placed in the middle. If a player does not receive any face cards (or only one 10), he or she may call a misdeal, and the cards will be shuffled and dealt again.

Mighty (album)

Mighty is the fifth full-length release from The Planet Smashers. This is the first of two albums featuring drummer Scott Russell, and it is the only Planet Smashers album featuring trombonist J.O. Begin. The second track, "Explosive", features and was co-written by Neville Staple of The Specials. "Interlude" is not listed on the back cover, but the track numbers jump from 12 to 14.

Critical reception

Caitlin Lassiter, giving the album three and a half stars for New Release Today, writes, "Lyrically, Mighty is a strong and worshipful effort, but sonically, things often fall short of expectation." Rating the album a 3.7 out of five at Christian Music Review, Laura Chambers describes, "Every song resonates with a calm, assured mood, underscoring the peace we can experience if we trust Him in all things." Calvin Moore, awarding the album four stars by The Christian Manifesto, says, "Mighty is an excellent live worship experience featuring evocative songs, strong music, and powerful vocals." Giving the album four and a half stars at New Release Today, Kevin Davis states, "These excellent songs are all prayers, adorations and declarations about our great God, who is mighty to save." Amanda Furbeck, indicating in a three and a half star review for Worship Leader, replies, "Mighty showcases Kristene DiMarco’s talents as a singer/songwriter with 11 original songs interspersed with the familiar strains of a few traditional hymns." Signaling in a ten out of ten review at Cross Rhythms, Stephen Luff responds, "This is an amazing release from one of the most gifted singer/songwriters in the whole of modern worship."

Kick

A kick is a physical strike using the foot, leg, or knee (the latter is also known as a knee strike). This type of attack is used frequently by hooved animals as well as humans in the context of stand-up fighting. Kicks play a significant role in many forms of martial arts, such as savate, Combat Hopak, taekwondo, sikaran, karate, Pankration, Kung fu, Vovinam, kickboxing, Muay Thai, capoeira, silat, and kalaripayattu.

Kicking is also prominent from its use in many sports, especially those called football. The best known of these sports is association football, also known as soccer.

History

The English verb to kick appears only in the late 14th century, apparently as a loan from Old Norse, originally in the sense of a hooved animal delivering strikes with his hind legs; the oldest use is Biblical.

Kicks as an act of human aggression have likely existed worldwide since prehistory. However, high kicks, aiming above the waist or to the head appear to have originated from Asian martial arts. Such kicks were introduced to the west in the 19th century with early hybrid martial arts inspired by Asian styles such as Bartitsu and Savate. Practice of high kicks became more universal in the second half of the 20th century with the more widespread development of hybrid styles such as kickboxing and eventually mixed martial arts.

Kick (2014 film)

Plot

Dr. Shaina Mehra (Jacqueline Fernandez) is a psychiatrist living in Warsaw, Poland. One day, her father, Mr. Brijesh Mehra (Saurabh Shukla) brings a marriage proposal and asks her to meet Himanshu Tyagi (Randeep Hooda). Himanshu and Shaina meet in a train, where Shaina reveals that she had an ex-boyfriend, Devi, (Salman Khan) and talks about her experiences with him.

Devi Lal Singh is a highly intelligent but adventurous who is always looking for a 'kick' in his life. Due to his daredevil attitude, he never stays in one job for long. He has resigned from 32 companies as he feels that he is suffering from a lack of kick. When Shaina first meets Devi, she is trying to help her friend Vidhi (Sumona Chakravarti) elope with her lover who turns out to be Devi's friend (Kavin Dave). Devi gets them married in a temple but also helps her mother follow them and reach the temple for 'kick'. Shaina starts to like Devi after seeing a video of him beating the goons. Later Shaina meets Devi's caring but easy going parents including his father Lal Singh (Mithun Chakraborty) and his mother (Archana Puran Singh). Devi and Shaina start dating, and fall in love and get married. On Shaina's suggestion, Devi accepts a job in a chemical lab, but resigns in a few days suffering from the lack of "kick". Upon hearing this, Shaina scolds him. Upset, Devi breaks up with her and moves away.

Kick (video game)

Kick is an action arcade game where the player controls a clown on a unicycle, catching falling balloons and Pac-Man characters on the clown's hat. The game was later renamed Kick Man. It uses the Midway Cart Rack arcade system.

Gameplay

The player moves a character to catch falling objects (balloons and Pac-Man icons). The character can also kick an object into the air to attempt to catch it again. The player loses a life for each object the character misses. Kick also has a bonus stage.

Reception

Electronic Games wrote in 1983 that the game had been unsuccessful despite "top-notch background graphics and special sounds for effects. Can you imagine a game featuring Pac-Man that didn't make it? Kick Man is it." The Commodore 64 version was somewhat better received, gaining a Certificate of Merit in the category of "1984 Best Arcade-to-Home Video Game/Computer Game Translation" at the 5th annual Arkie Awards.
