General Guidelines
---- Nous avons besoin d'un traduction français!
Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.

Other Luxury Interests
In addition to cars and real estate, Eastwood's lifestyle reflects his love for other luxury and leisure activities, such as golf, where he owns a golf course, and his involvement in various high-end business venture
Watches
Clint Eastwood is known for wearing several notable watches, particularly from the Rolex brand. Here are some of the most notable ones:
Rolex "Root Beer" GMT Master
This is perhaps Eastwood's most famous watch. The "Root Beer" GMT Master, also known as the "Clint Eastwood" GMT, features a two-tone brown and gold bezel. Eastwood received this watch from longtime Rolex executive T. Walker Lloyd. It has appeared in several of his films, including:
Firefox (1982)
Tightrope (1984)
In the Line of Fire (1993)
.Rolex Datejust\
In addition to the GMT Master, Eastwood has also been seen wearing a two-tone Rolex Datejust in more recent years, indicating his continued affinity for Rolex watches.
What a hypocrite!
A hypocrite calling another person a hypocrite ... is there a word in English for that?
Sid, maybe if the comments quoted by Bob A. and attributed to Eastwood are recent ... maybe the 94 year old is realizing how useless all his luxuries have been.
In that case, maybe he is leading the younger generation to REVOLT against all forms of materialism. That would really shake up the world at a time when the world seems to need MORE AND MORE consumption to survive.
Movie stars and sports figures do extremely little for the betterment of society... less that what a janitor does, and yet the main-stream media glorifies them beyond all proportion, leading to stupid fans pouring out tons of cash to make these guys & gals very, very rich! A sad commentary on our society's norms...

This "legendary 94-year old vegan actor has given one of the most important lessons of his life to the younger generations:
"Do not look for luxury in watches or bracelets, do not look for it in villas or sailboats! Luxury is laughing and having friends, luxury is rain on your face, luxury is hugs and kisses. Do not look for luxury in shops, do not look for it in gifts, do not look for it in parties, do not look for it in events! Luxury is being loved by people, luxury is being respected, luxury is having your parents still alive, luxury is being able to play with your grandchildren. Luxury is what money cannot buy."
Actually I have done a lot of thinking on LIFE, theologically and philosophically. I also have read on the scientific theory of evolution of life on earth (No, I can't give you sources).
So........no I don't just dismiss others' views out of hand........very poor assessment of me, and you've know me for years as a chess friend........
I happen to disagree, and I do try, it is true, to be succinct and not use jargon.
I've been giving this a lot of thought, let's see if I can get it right. I present a scholarly paper on the subject matter, which you, BobA, dismiss out of hand, after reading only the first paragraph, the abstract which always contains the conclusion,, not even sniffing at the pages of supporting information and provide absolutely no useful supporting argument of our own, other than a brief tautology, I guess this is how you like to cook up those "commonly agreed upon" facts of yours.
"the laws of ....the composition of matter are universal"
This seems true.
But the Earthly laws of the conditions for life are not necessarily universal.
<snip>
Bob A
Earthly Laws of the conditions of life not universal? Are you sure you are thinking of "earthly" laws? Or are you going to throw The book (of Genesis) or Deepak Chopra at me, then I can see your point.
They are damn close to being universal among scientists, I would say. That was my point.
"the laws of ....the composition of matter are universal"
This seems true.
But the Earthly laws of the conditions for life are not necessarily universal.
So I am not satisfied with the author's conclusion:
"if there were life elsewhere in the universe, it would be very similar to what we know on this planet."
It may well be that there are conditions for inert matter, on other planets, and in other galaxies, such that "life" arises, that are quite different from Earth's.
And so non-Earthly life may be very dissimilar to what we know on this planet.
Bob A
I agree with you, Bob. Statisticians have calculated that the statistical likelihood of life evolving the way it has, is less that 1 in a million, which means that there are more than a million other ways in which life could have evolved...

From Hypothesis to Theory: The Evolution of the Nested Wave Theory of Quantum Entanglement
Our team is proud to present a groundbreaking discovery originally introduced here as a promising hypothesis that has evolved into a well-supported theory, revolutionizing our understanding of quantum entanglement. Our paper has been submitted to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), where we introduce the Nested Wave theory. This evidence-based, comprehensive framework provides a physically intuitive and mathematically consistent explanation for the behavior of entangled particles.
When we first began our investigation in February, we proposed the nested wave hypothesis based on the intriguing results of the Micius satellite experiment. While this experiment demonstrated correlations between entangled particles at different distances, it did not conclusively prove the existence of a subluminal mechanism for entanglement. Decoherence was already known to slow down photons, and the observed effects occurred at subluminal speeds, meaning that relativistic considerations did not play a significant role.
However, the groundbreaking experiments conducted by Azuma and Zia have provided the critical empirical evidence needed to elevate the nested wave hypothesis to a well-supported theory. Azuma's research on energy conservation in entangled systems offers compelling support for the
existence of a persistent mediating wave, while Zia et al. provide direct evidence of the quantum harmonic oscillator (QHO) nature of entangled particles, as predicted by Makarov.
The nested wave theory proposes a subluminal energy transfer mechanism that resolves the apparent paradox of instantaneous correlation at any distance, which Einstein famously rejected as "spooky action at a distance."
The implications of our research are profound and far-reaching. By unveiling the actual mechanics of entanglement, we are paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in quantum computing, cryptography, and communication. The nested wave theory offers a new perspective on the nature of quantum interactions, potentially unlocking novel approaches to harnessing the power of entanglement for practical applications.
Our work is the product of a collaborative effort by a dedicated team of researchers from diverse backgrounds. It highlights the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation in tackling complex scientific challenges. We are deeply grateful for each team member's contributions in pursuing this transformative research.

Hi Sid,
The hypothesis you and Alicia have generated is quite intriguing indeed!
The phenomenon of 'Entanglement' is very close to my heart, as it gives us hope of 'living on' after death. The determinants within our brains of the electromagnetic waves which have the property of consciousness, could very well be entangled as a unit elsewhere, and as you would know, when one of the entangled units becomes less cohesive (eventually dying), the cohesiveness of the other units becomes stronger! And for all you know, our entire bodies may have an entangled counterpart elsewhere...
Deepak Chopra and others, on the other hand, believe that our consciousness merges with the other conscious electromagnetism in the universe, amazingly enhancing what 'we' experience...
Most scientists and philosophers however subscribe to the view that death marks the end of our souls (our consciousness of 'me', our memories, our thoughts, our consciousness as a whole)
By the way, stay tuned for my upcoming book: "Anatomy of the soul"...
