Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Magic & Hope: Magic and Illusion in Concert - To Benefit HopeKids
Join illusionist Michelangelo and Vegas headliner Ariann Black for an amazing evening of award-winning entertainment. With a stellar cast of variety entertainers, illusions, comedy and magic, this is the theatrical event of the year! To make the night even more spectacular, 100% of every ticket sold goes to benefit HopeKids, a charity that works with families who have children with life-threatening medical conditions like cancer and other chronic health issues.
Michelangelo's unique magic and illusions have been seen onstage throughout the United States and six foreign countries. He has created magic for the Utah Symphony, Odyssey Dance Theatre and hundreds of corporate and public events. City Weekly Magazine recently presented his show with their prestigious "Arty" award. "Michelangelo...delivers with technical skill and theatrical showmanship" – City Weekly Magazine.
Ariann Black, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, has headlined her own Vegas show and frequently appears on national and international television shows around the world. She was voted 2011 Magician of the Year and Female Magician of the Decade. Her magic and illusions have brought her acclaim as an entertainer who is original and different with "One of the best magic shows in Vegas" – The Travel Channel.
HopeKids helps provide hope to these families by arranging highly-anticipated events – like movies, sporting events, camping trips…anything a family can do together. "We strongly believe that people who are being treated for serious illnesses do better when they have something to look forward to – it gives them hope for tomorrow."
This exceptional show is guaranteed to be a one-of-a-kind experience that will astound and entertain.
Magic & Hope. An amazing evening for an amazing cause.

Sesame Chicken
|Kristen J. Gough
|Number of Servings:
|4-5 people
|4 to 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut up into bite-sized pieces
Marinade/batter for chicken
4 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. cooking wine or dry sherry or chicken broth
3 Tbsp. water
5 Tbsp. flour
5 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. sesame oil
3/4 cup water
1 cup chicken broth
1/8-1/4 cup vinegar (or more for a tart flavor)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup sugar (brown, white or a mixture of the two)
2 Tbsp. or more soy sauce
2 Tbsp. sesame oil
1 1/2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 tsp. chili paste (you can find this in the Asian section of the grocery store)
1 clove minced garlic
Oil for frying
Sesame seeds
|1. Mix all of the marinade/batter ingredients (the batter should be smooth, but thick). You may need to add more flour or cornstarch to get the right consistency. Place the cut up chicken cubes into the marinade and let the mixture sit for at least 20 minutes.
2. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the sauce. In a medium-sized saucepan, mix all of the sauce ingredients and bring the mixture to medium-high heat, gradually. Let the sauce simmer just until thickened. Adjust the flavoring of the sauce: either more sweet (add honey or sugar) or more tart (add vinegar).
4. Place 3 to 4 cups oil in a wok or large, heavy-bottomed pan. Heat the oil to 365-375 degrees (when you place the chicken into the oil, it should sizzle immediately). Fry for about 3 to 4 minutes and then drain the pieces on paper towels. You should fry the chicken pieces in batches so that they don't get too crowded in the pan.
5. To finish the dish, toss the chicken in a separate bowl with a generous helping of sauce. Pour the chicken over rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds. You can also steam broccoli to serve alongside the chicken.

Chicago Rush owner on past felony convictions: 'My past is my past'
BY KIM JANSSEN AND SETH GRUEN Chicago Sun-Times May 7, 2013 8:05PM
Chicago Rush owner David Staral
Article Extras
Updated: June 9, 2013 6:28AM
The convicted thief who bought the Chicago Rush three months ago says he never expected his criminal background to be a big problem in owning the Arena Football League's premier franchise.
And David Staral Jr. says his shady past had nothing to do with what he says was his decision to "walk away" from the team last week.
Staral, currently Chicago's youngest sports franchise owner at just 34, left the Rush with unpaid bills and the struggling AFL in crisis when league sources say he was ousted before last weekend's home game.
He gave the Sun-Times an at times emotional interview at his West Town condo on Tuesday, a day after the newspaper revealed how the league allowed him to take control in its biggest media market despite three felony convictions, a pending Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and the fact that he is currently on probation for theft.
Defending his efforts to revive a franchise that has now raced through three different ownerships in six months, Staral said he "never lied" about his background during negotiations to purchase the indoor football team. But he also said that "nobody ever asked" about a history that includes benefit fraud and two convictions for embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from a former employer.
Asked if he expected his background to become an issue when it was inevitably discovered, he said, "It definitely crossed my mind."
But he paused and appeared to check his emotions as he added, "Maybe I didn't think it all the way through.
"I haven't had a chance to sit down and think about it since all this happened. I've been working 20 hour days for the last two or three months, trying to make the Rush a success."
Staral conceded he had "screwed up in the past," but said he'd tried to turn his life around since his most recent conviction in 2011 and didn't see why his record was such an issue.
"Is that naive?," he said. "My past is my past — I've been trying to work through it."
"Nobody's past excludes them from being in business or from trying to make money."
"My intentions were good."
Staral also said he didn't think he had to inform the federal judge overseeing his Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing — or any of the 60 creditors he says he owes $1.5 million — before purchasing the Rush in February.
Two investors came up with the "small" amount of cash he needed, he said, acknowledging that his criminal convictions and the slew of lawsuits he faces made it harder to attract further investment.
He refused to discuss the specifics of his fallout with the league, which he said was covered by a confidentiality agreement.
AFL Commissioner Jerry B. Kurz and other league officials declined for a second day running Tuesday to answer questions about how they apparently failed to do even a basic background check on Staral.
But industry insiders say this week's revelations could spell doom for the league, which is based in Chicago and was relaunched in 2010 after coming out of bankruptcy.
"This isn't just embarrassing for the AFL, it demonstrates immense incompetence," said consultant Marc Ganis, who has advised teams in the NFL and other professional leagues through his firm, Sports Corp.
"This information [about Staral] was available to anyone," Ganis said. "The indication to me is the AFL is in worse shape than anyone believed — if this is any indication of the competence of the AFL management, the league is in real trouble."
As the fallout from Staral's short reign continued Tuesday, team sources said the Rush still intends to take a bus Friday morning to its Saturday game against the Cleveland Gladiators. The league has been running the Rush on an emergency basis since April 29.
In one indication of the chaos surrounding the team, Rush coach Bob McMillen said that he only learned about Staral's background by reading Tuesday's Sun-Times.
Bears legend Mike Ditka — who in previous years has served as the face of the Rush franchise, but is not involved in Staral's ownership — described the developments as "a shame."
"Arena football is a great game and provided a lot of opportunity for a lot of young players, but I don't know if the league is gonna make it," Ditka said.

The first American sailing ships, these beautiful and fast vessels served admirably as revenue cutters and privateers in the Revolution and War of 1812.
Schooners were among the first ships developed in America, and with their graceful lines and relative ease of handling, they remain popular among recreational sailors to this day. But while now it is devoted hobbyists who preserve wooden schooners like Maine's famous ""windjammers,"" for hundreds of years they were the backbone of America's commercial shipping fleet. And in both the Revolution and the War of 1812, these ships played a vital role in winning and preserving the freedom of the nation.
THE SCHOONERS takes a long look at the most American of all sailing ships. Go aboard exquisitely preserved ships for an up-close look at them in action, and meet the men and women who preserve the shipwright's art by keeping these aging beauties afloat. Learn of the vital role they played as America's first naval vessels, battling the British and patrolling the coasts. And see why the schooner was adapted to countless uses, from the mainstay of the fishing fleet to privateering.
It's an action-splashed voyage through the history of one of the most important and influential sailing ships ever built.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Mitchum Keeps Bad Parents Cool
What do you do if your product lacks an eye-catching design and has an old man's name? Make up for it with nifty visuals and pretty young people in your television spots.
Mother NY's and production company Brand New School's "Love Thy Pits" campaign for Mitchum deodorant has, among other things, set clogs on fire and caused some to cry "ripoff" due to some similarities to recent Old Spice work. But, as this installment is one of a several new spots using the same fast-talking narration and colorful, well art-directed video graphics, Mitchum's parent company Revlon's attempts at attracting a younger market share must be paying off.
So, young millennial soccer mom, don't sweat accidentally kidnapping a neighbor's kid. Credits after the jump.

The Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Danica Patrick has made history before -- as a woman and a racer, in Indianapolis and Japan.
The spotlight is nothing new. But never has it been this bright before. Patrick won the Daytona 500 pole Sunday, becoming the first woman to secure the top spot for any race in NASCAR's premier circuit. It's by far the biggest achievement of her stock-car career.
Her latest stamp in the history books came with a lap at 196.434 mph around Daytona International Speedway. Patrick went out eighth in the qualifying session, then had to wait about two hours as 37 fellow drivers tried to take her spot. Only four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon even came close to knocking her off. Gordon was the only other driver who topped 196 mph in qualifying. He locked up the other guaranteed spot in next week's season-opening Daytona 500.
JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- Oscar Pistorius' agent canceled all future track races so the double-amputee Olympian can focus on the murder charge against him, underscoring the possibility the disabled sports icon might never again run competitively on his famous carbon fiber blades.
Pistorius is defending himself against allegations he murdered his model girlfriend by shooting her several times in his upscale house on Valentine's Day morning.
Reeva Steenkamp died from gunshot wounds suffered inside Pistorius' home in the predawn hours of Thursday. Pistorius was arrested and charged with her murder the same day. His family denies he murdered her.
HOUSTON (AP) -- Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Kobe Bryant turned this All-Star game into L.A. story.
Paul had 20 points, 15 assists and won MVP honors, Bryant blocked LeBron James' comeback attempt, and the Western Conference beat the East 143-138 on Sunday night. Kevin Durant scored 30 points and Griffin finished with 19, joining his Clippers teammate, Paul, in creating Lob City deep in the heart of Texas.
James scored 19 points but shot only 7 of 18, Bryant blocking two of his shots late, after having no shooting troubles during the latter part of the season's first half. Carmelo Anthony led the East with 26 points and 12 rebounds.
HOUSTON (AP) -- Billy Hunter was ousted from his job as executive director of the union in a unanimous vote by NBA players who said Saturday they will "no longer be divided, misled, misinformed."
"This is our union and we have taken it back," players' association president Derek Fisher said.
Fisher said it was a day of change for the union, which has seemed inevitable since a review of the union last month was critical of Hunter's leadership and urged players to consider whether they wanted to keep him.
HOUSTON (AP) -- Toronto rookie Terrence Ross beat defending champion Jeremy Evans to win the slam-dunk contest during All-Star Saturday night.
The 6-foot-6 Ross jumped over a ballboy, whipped the ball between his legs and threw down a one-handed slam to clinch the victory. Earlier, Ross donned a Vince Carter jersey, took a lob from high-school teammate Terrence Jones off the edge of the backboard, spun in the air, and then slammed home another one-hander.
PALM CITY, Fla. (AP) -- President Barack Obama teed it up with Tiger Woods on Sunday.
The White House confirmed that the President and the world's most famous golfer played a round at a secluded, exclusive yacht and golf club on Florida's Treasure Coast.
Once the sport's dominant player before his career was sidetracked by scandal, Woods joined Obama at the Floridian, where Obama is spending the long Presidents Day weekend. The two had met before, but Sunday was the first time they played together.
The foursome also included Jim Crane, a Houston businessman who owns the Floridian and baseball's Houston Astros, and outgoing U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, a former mayor of Dallas, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. Obama, an avid golfer, also received some instruction Saturday and played a few holes with Butch Harmon, Woods' former swing coach.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- John Merrick never allowed himself to think about winning at Riviera.
Not when he was a kid attending his local PGA Tour event. Not when he was at UCLA and could play the fabled course. And certainly not late Sunday afternoon in a playoff when he faced a daunting 3-iron shot under a row of eucalyptus trees, and his opponent was in the middle of the fairway with a wedge in his hand. No wonder Merrick was at a loss for words when he won the Northern Trust Open.

As you have probably read elsewhere Ajahn Brahm and his temple, Bodhinyana, has been expelled from the Forest Sangha Network (FSN) and the Wat Pah Pong (WPP) group.
I want to use this thread to discuss the 'expulsion' rather than the ordination issues.
Overall I think this is a good thing for a few reasons.
Ajahn Brahm is a senior monk, why should he have to submit to the authority of Wat Pa Pong in Thailand or even of other senior monks? The Vinaya is the sole authority for determining Sangha issues and the Vinaya makes no mention of the Mahatherasamakhom, Thai Council of Elders. Nor does it mention branch temples coming under the authority of 'head temples'.
The Vinaya says a monk is independent with 5 rains as a Bhikkhu. With 10 rains a monk can act as a preceptor – there are no State registrations or certificates or exams needed.
Ajahn Brahm wasn't even ordained in the 'lineage' of Ajahn Chah. He was ordained by the current acting Sangharaja Buddhajahn.
Another related issue is diversity. The Sangha in the west is still new and small, but it is dominated by monks of the FSN. This stifles diversity of opinion and flavour of Buddhism. The FSN only one particular approach, or style of Buddhism or even within Thai Buddhism it is just one small part. Wouldn't it be a shame if it was thought that all Buddhism or all monks should conform to this style?
The monks in the Ajahn Chah lineage are also very Thai, despite most of them being westerners. Not all Thai trained western monks are like this. It's good to have diversity.
Not all of the monks taught by Ajahn Chah or others in his lineage want to be members of the group. There was another English monk who went his own way many years ago – I forget his name now, Khema something. Ajahn Sujato also decided not to be part of the group.
I am not sure what benefits there would be in being a 'member' of the group. Lack of independence and a requirement to submit to the authority in England are the obvious draw backs. Maybe there were yearly membership fees too as well as the requirements to fly around the world for meetings.
What does everyone think?

"The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions."
—Fred Allen
If jumping to conclusions is your only form of physical activity, you are overlooking one of the top tools available to improve your diabetes control! Healthful eating, medicine if you need it, and blood glucose self-monitoring are important basics of diabetes management, but only physical activity provides a host of benefits for your quality of life, blood glucose control, and overall health. In addition to lower blood glucose readings and decreased body fat, regular exercisers report increased self-esteem, reduced stress, and enhanced clarity of thought. Routine physical activity also improves your self-efficacy, which is confidence in your ability to change and control your behavior.
Despite these and other potential benefits, more than 60% of American adults are not regularly active, and 25% of the adult population are not active at all. Take a moment to learn more about the magic of movement, then get ready, get set, and go! Make a commitment to improving your health by including more physical activity in your life.
The science behind the magic
Simply put, exercise lowers blood glucose. To perform physical activity, the muscles burn glucose for energy and absorb glucose from the blood during and after exercise to replenish their stores. However, most people with Type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance, in which muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond normally to insulin. As a result, it takes more insulin than normal to admit glucose into the cells. Exercise, in addition to simply burning glucose, improves the body's ability to use insulin. This improvement in insulin sensitivity may allow some people with Type 2 diabetes to reduce or even discontinue blood-glucose-lowering medicines with increased physical activity. In addition, for those with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, resistance exercise builds muscle mass, which may continue to burn glucose even when a person is not actively exercising.
Regular physical activity increases a person's aerobic fitness level, reducing his resting heart rate as the heart pumps more efficiently. Lower blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, as well as increased HDL ("good") cholesterol levels, are additional benefits that are of special concern to those with diabetes because of their increased risk of heart disease. And if you are trying to lose a few pounds, consider this: Physical activity not only helps people lose weight, but it has been proven to help them keep weight off for months and even years.
It's really not magic at all. Science supports the recommendation that regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do to improve your diabetes control and sense of well-being.
Get ready…
If you're making a commitment to physical activity, start your efforts off on the right foot by meeting with your doctor to discuss any limitations or restrictions you may have. Formal exercise testing prior to beginning a training program can be helpful in many ways, including identifying undiagnosed heart disease and determining your pulse and blood pressure responses to various levels of exercise intensity. In addition, screening for diabetes complications that may be worsened by certain exercises is essential. This evaluation is also valuable in designing an individualized exercise prescription and opening up a discussion about important factors to consider before beginning your program. If you are planning to begin a moderate- to high-intensity physical activity program, you may be a candidate for a graded exercise test ("stress test") if you meet any of the criteria established by the American Diabetes Association (ADA). (For the ADA's criteria, see "Risky Business?")

Glenn Greenwald: MLK's Vehement Condemnation of American Militarism
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The civil right achievements of Martin Luther King are quite justly the focus of the annual birthday commemoration of his legacy. But it is remarkable, as I've noted before on this holiday, how completely his vehement anti-war advocacy is ignored when commemorating his life (just as his economic views are). By King's own description, his work against US violence and militarism, not only in Vietnam but generally, was central - indispensable - to his worldview and activism, yet it has been almost completely erased from how he is remembered.
King argued for the centrality of his anti-militarism advocacy most eloquently on April 4, 1967, at Riverside Church in New York City - exactly one year before the day he was murdered. That extraordinary speech was devoted to answering his critics who had been complaining that his anti-war activism was distracting from his civil rights work ("Peace and civil rights don't mix, they say. Aren't you hurting the cause of your people, they ask?"). King, citing seven independent reasons, was adamant that ending US militarism and imperialism was not merely a moral imperative in its own right, but a prerequisite to achieving any meaningful reforms in American domestic life.
In that speech, King called the US government "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today", as well as the leading exponent of "the deadly Western arrogance that has poisoned the international atmosphere for so long" (is there any surprise this has been whitewashed from his legacy?). He emphasized that his condemnations extended far beyond the conflict in Southeast Asia: "the war in Vietnam is but a symptom of a far deeper malady within the American spirit." He insisted that no significant social problem - wealth inequality, gun violence, racial strife - could be resolved while the US remains "a nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift" - a recipe, he said, for certain "spiritual death". For that reason, he argued, "it should be incandescently clear that no one who has any concern for the integrity and life of America today can ignore the present war." That's because:
"If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read Vietnam. It can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over."
Working against US imperialism was, he said, "the privilege and the burden of all of us who deem ourselves bound by allegiances and loyalties which are broader and deeper than nationalism and which go beyond our nation's self-defined goals and positions." For King, opposing US violence in the world was not optional but obligatory: "We are called to speak for the weak, for the voiceless, for victims of our nation and for those it calls enemy . . . ." The entire speech is indescribably compelling and its applicability to contemporary US behavior obvious. I urge everyone who hasn't already done so to take the time to read it.
Barack Obama's grand inaugural ceremony will take place today on the holiday memorializing King's birthday. Obama will always be linked in history to King because his election (and re-election) as America's first African-American president is, standing alone, an inspiring by-product of King's work on racial justice. But this symbolic link has another, less inspiring symbolic meaning: Obama's policies are a manifestation of exactly the militaristic mindset which King so eloquently denounced. Obama has always been fond of invoking King's phrase "fierce urgency of now", yet ironically, that is lifted from this anti-war speech, one that stands as a stinging repudiation of the continuous killing and violence Obama has spent the last four years unleashing on many countries around the world (Max Blumenthal suggested that Obama's second inaugural speech be entitled "I have a drone").

- Integral point sets over Z_n^m (2007)
- There are many papers studying properties of point sets in the Euclidean space or on integer grids, with pairwise integral or rational distances. In this article we consider the distances or coordinates of the point sets which instead of being integers are elements of Z_n, and study the properties of the resulting combinatorial structures.
- There are integral heptagons, no three points on a line, no four on a circle (2007)
- We give two configurations of seven points in the plane, no three points in a line, no four points on a circle with pairwise integral distances. This answers a famous question of Paul Erdös.
- On the minimum diameter of plane integral point sets (2007)
- Since ancient times mathematicians consider geometrical objects with integral side lengths. We consider plane integral point sets P, which are sets of n points in the plane with pairwise integral distances where not all the points are collinear. The largest occurring distance is called its diameter. Naturally the question about the minimum possible diameter d(2,n) of a plane integral point set consisting of n points arises. We give some new exact values and describe state-of-the-art algorithms to obtain them. It turns out that plane integral point sets with minimum diameter consist very likely of subsets with many collinear points. For this special kind of point sets we prove a lower bound for d(2,n) achieving the known upper bound n^{c_2loglog n} up to a constant in the exponent.
- Inclusion-maximal integral point sets over finite fields (2007)
- We consider integral point sets in affine planes over finite fields. Here an integral point set is a set of points in $GF(q)^2$ where the formally defined Euclidean distance of every pair of points is an element of $GF(q)$. From another point of view we consider point sets over $GF(q)^2$ with few and prescribed directions. So this is related to Redeis work. Another motivation comes from the field of ordinary integral point sets in Euclidean spaces. In this article we study the spectrum of integral point sets over $GF(q)^2$ which are maximal with respect to inclusion. We give some theoretical results, constructions, conjectures, and some numerical data.
- Enumeration of generalized polyominoes (2006)
- Wir verallgemeinern den Begriff von Polyominoes (Tetrisbausteine) und betrachten Seite-an-Seite benachbarte überschneidungsfreie Vereinigungen von regelmäßigen k-Ecken. Für n<=4 geben wir Formeln für die Anzahl a_k(n) von verallgemeinerten Polyominoes, bestehend aus n regelmäßigen k-Ecken, an. Für weitere kleine Werte von k und n tabellieren wir durch computerunterstützte Enumeration gewonnene Anzahlen. Zum Abschluss erwähnen wir ein paar ungelöste Probleme für verallgemeinerte Polyominoes.
