| [[Image:coffeehouse_mashup.jpg|thumb|right|220px|A "mashup" showing locations of coffee houses in Princeton, NJ. The mashup combined geographical locations provided by the developer with maps from Google.]]
| |
| A '''[[mashup]]''' is an integrated application created by combining data and services of multiple applications. On the web, "mashup" typically refers to the combining of geographical location information with a service such as [http://maps.google.com Google maps] or [http://maps.live.com Microsoft Virtual Earth]. The term has achieved widespread usage in describing this kind of web application since [[Google]] introduced its public Google Maps API in 2005. Though not restricted to the web, mashups have become an increasingly popular internet paradigm, leading to the creation of a variety of web based mashups. [[Tim O'Reilly]] lists Mashups as one of the [[Web 2.0]] technologies.
| |
|
| |
|
| Before the availability of the Google maps API, mashup-like applications were being developed mainly with proprietary, complex [[Geographic_information_system|geographic information systems]] (GIS) software packages. Such GIS applications have been available commercially since the 1980's, but it is only since the early 2000's that non-computer-experts have had the tools that allowed such combinations of maps and user-specific data to proliferate on the web. Mashups that do not use spatial or mapping data are also possible, but the mapping application is likely the first kind that comes to mind when one says "mashup" in the context of the world wide web.

| '''[[Piquet]]''' is a [[card game]] for two players. It originated in [[France]] around 1500, and in English the name can be pronounced either French fashion (peekay) or English fashion (picket). After the [[deal]], a [[hand]] falls into three phases:

|
| The original form of the game, ''[[Piquet#Piquet au cent|piquet au cent]]'', is now obsolete, having been displaced in the late nineteenth century by the present game, technically known as rubicon piquet. In this, a ''partie'' (game) normally consists of six deals or hands. It usually lasts about half an hour. If the loser at the end of this has under a hundred points they are penalized for failing to cross the ''[[rubicon]]''.
