+POOL

+POOL (or +Pool) is an initiative to bring a floating swimming pool to the East River, on the Manhattan and/or Brooklyn banks, in New York City; a permanent location has yet to been determined. The 9,300 square feet (860 m2) pool would be filled with water filtered from the river it floats in. The two companies behind it, Family New York and PlayLab, have been using the crowdfunding website Kickstarter to raise money for the project.

Concept

The planned cross-shaped, Olympic-sized pool would be used to clean the waters of the East River while providing a public space for water-based recreation. With its current design, the pool would flush out up to half a million gallons of river water daily through a layered filtration system. Over a quarter of a million gallons of filtered river water would be used to fill the pool itself. The planned long-term goal is to raise a total of $15 million to fund the entire pool by 2016.

History

In July 2011, the team raised over $41,000 on Kickstarter to test filtration materials using water from the East River. With the help of researchers at Columbia University, the tests yielded feasibility, and in July 2013 over a quarter million dollars was raised to build a 35 square foot miniature version of the floating pool. The "test lab" is to be a working prototype to analyze its effectiveness in river conditions.

Pot (poker)

The pot in poker refers to the sum of money that players wager during a single hand or game, according to the betting rules of the variant being played. It is likely that the word "pot" is related to or derived from the word "jackpot."

At the conclusion of a hand, either by all but one player folding, or by showdown, the pot is won or shared by the player or players holding the winning cards. Sometimes a pot can be split between many players. This is particularly true in high-low games where not only the highest hand can win, but under appropriate conditions, the lowest hand will win a share of the pot.

    by: Paul Wall

    Killer kill from the Ville, Killer Mike
    In the motherfucking building nigga
    Y'all already know, Killa kill putting it down

    New South Movement, South Lee Southwest Click

    And that's the new size that'll hold you, let your shit come through
    See one deep I'm whooping clicks, gangs
    With my 50 Cal. click bang, I'm gangsta walking with that trick aim
    My nuts hang, like D-boys on the corner
    And I could send a bitch nigga, a Bengal like Ty Warner
    I'm standing on a soap box, preaching the gospel
    On how you should move them coke rocks, and protect yo glocks
    And turn your projects, into Ft. Knox
    It just a fo' night, with two 44 glocks
    Now rise and shine it's a kick do', for your pies and pine
    I'm riding off in the sunset, the horizon's mine
    Everybody dies in time, but how will you pass
    In a million dollar mansion, or dead broke on your ass
    Think fast, cause your number is coming up
    And ain't no second chances, when the killers is running up
    I step into the club, in a fresh white T
    Looking for a one night wife, to delight me
    A lot of dudes claim, to be gangsta like Ice-T
    When in actuality, they sweeter than ice tea
    Get your weight up homie, only the strong survive
    Get off the bus and pay your dues, you don't belong on this ride
    I'm a full time playa, all about my hustle
    Demonstrating my muscle, if I get in a tussle
    If you got plex, I suggest you keep it hush-hush
    Cause boys wet up on that water, and you might get bust
    I got to stay up on my note, so my game is sharper
    I can't be wiped out, I'm like a permanent marker
    Boys mean mugging in the club, repping they hood
    It's understood but cross that line, homie it ain't good
    It's survival of the fittest, I'm the last one breathing
    While you in your bed sleeping, I'm still out here creeping
    Take your ass to church nigga, if you wanna learn better
    Join Mase and Bethle-fuck him, I'm trying to get cheddar
    My stack will clearly show, my talent for moving blow
    And it's gangsta music, so fuck the status quote
    Grown men talking, who let the children in
    Get the nine to spit it in, leave him smelling like chit-lens
    I ain't playing I ain't joking, I'm rolling loaded and open
    It's best you not provoking, this man when he pistol toting
    The 4-fiftha, will tuck turn toss twist you
    Split you right down the middle, like a brand new swisha
    When the bullet hit you nigga, it rip and tear tissue
    Bullet bang, turn brains into baby batter
    Turn great matter, into antimatter
    Fuck your chitter-chatter, who's good better best badder
    Let the shotgun splitter splatter, who it hit child or bitch
    It don't matter, niggaz just handling bis'
    Primetime guerilla gang, get his what it is
    Last but not least, it's H.A. Dub
    Buckshot slugs, you covered in blood
    Feel me cuz, or get drug in the mud
    By these Texas thugs, who really don't show no love
    That's what it is nigga, handle your bis nigga
    This ain't your year nigga, I'll split your wig nigga
    Take a sqwig nigga, this is the new South
