A die is a small polyhedral object, usually cubic, used for generating random numbers or other symbols. This makes dice suitable as gambling devices, especially for craps or sic bo, or for use in non-gambling tabletop games.
Traditional die is a cube (often with corners slightly rounded), marked on each of its six faces with a different number. All of these pips have the same appearance within a set of dice, and are sized for ease of recognizing the pattern formed by the pips on a face. The design as a whole is aimed at each die providing one randomly determined integer, in the range from one to six, with each of those values being equally likely. There are also “loaded” or “crooked” dice, meant to produce skewed or even predictable results, for purposes of deception or amusement.
Rememberwhen some of us had fuzzy dice hanging from are rear view mirror, now you can have dice on your license plate sign.

Yin and yang

For information about (and other uses of) the symbol , see Taijitu.
This article contains Chinese text. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of Chinese characters.
In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin yang ([yin – simplified Chinese: 阴; traditional Chinese: 陰; pinyin: yīn] [yang - simplified Chinese: 阳; traditional Chinese: 陽; pinyin: yáng] often referred to in the west as yin
and yang) is used to describe how seemingly disjunct or opposing forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, giving rise to each other in turn. The concept lies at the heart of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan, and qigong and of I Ching divination. Many natural dualities — e.g. dark and light, female and male, low and high, cold and hot — are viewed in Chinese thought as manifestations of yin and yang.
Yin yang are complementary opposites within a greater whole. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, although yin or yang elements may manifest more strongly in different objects or at different times. Yin yang constantly interacts, never existing in absolute stasis. The concept of yin and yang is often symbolized by various forms of the Taijitu symbol, for which it is probably best known in western cultures.
There is a common misperception (especially in the West) that yin and yang correspond to good and evil. However, Taoist philosophy generally discounts good/bad distinctions as superficial labels, preferring to focus on the idea of balance. The idea that yin and yang has a moral dimension originated in the Confucian school (most notably Dong Zhongshu) around the second century BCE.

Dirt track racing is a type of auto racing performed on oval tracks. It began in the United States before
World War I and became widespread during the 1920s and 30s. Two different types of racecars predominated—open wheel racers in the Northeast and West and stock cars in the South. While open wheel racecars are purpose-built racing vehicles, stock cars (also known as fendered cars) can be either purpose-built racecars or street vehicles that have been modified to varying degrees.
Dirt track racing is the single most common form of auto racing in the United States. There are hundreds of local and regional racetracks throughout the nation: some estimates range as high as 1500. The sport is popular in Australia and Canada also. Many of the cars may also race on asphalt short tracks during the racing season.
Dirt Late Model class drivers show how dirt track car drivers slide their car’s backend around through a corner. The multiple drivers show the car angle at different points in a corner.[edit] North America
Nearly all tracks are oval and less than 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) in length with most being ½ mile (804 m) or less. The most common increments in the U.S. are ½ mile, ⅜ mile (603 m), ⅓ mile (536 m), ¼ mile (402 m), and ⅛ mile (201 m). With the longer tracks, the racecars achieve higher speeds and the interval between cars increases. This decreases the chance of crashes but increases the damage and chance of injury when cars do crash.
The track surface may be composed of any soil, but most racers prefer a track with a clay base. The track operators usually try to keep the surface tacky and may sprinkle water on it if it begins to dry. Some operators build flat ovals, but many are highly banked. A tacky track usually provides alot of close racing while a dry track is slick and provides single file racing.

Mandiri Customers Latest to Fall Victim of ATM Withdrawal Scam
The ATM theft scam plaguing Indonesia continued on Monday, with several customers of state-owned PT Bank Mandiri reporting to police that their accounts had been robbed of millions of rupiah through illegal ATM withdrawals.
Limbong, 53, from Medan, said that he suspected theft after he received a text message from the bank notifying him of a cash withdrawal.
“I received several messages from the bank within five minutes, informing me of a Rp 1.75 million ($187.25) withdrawal,” Limbong said, adding that the got the messages at 10p.m. on Sunday night just as he was arriving in Jakarta to attend a training course.
“I immediately called Mandiri to block my account,” he said.
Limbong’s colleague, Zulkifli, 50, said he lost Rp 70 million, while Soemadi Saiman, 60, said he lost Rp 90 million.
Soemadi said he discovered the theft after printing his account statement and saw that Rp 90 million had been withdrawn between December and Friday.
“My money had been taken in Rp 3 million to Rp 4 million withdrawals,” Soemadi said.
Bank Mandiri told Soemadi the withdrawals were all made from an ATM in Tebet, South Jakarta. However, Soemadi said he had never withdrawn any money from that ATM.
Soemadi filed a complaint to the bank.
“But they seemed to put the blame on me somehow,” he said. “Now I’m afraid to keep my money in a bank.” .
Moehardomo, 63, a retired public works employee, said he had lost a total of Rp 4.8 million through illegal withdrawals from his Bank Mandiri account.
“There were four withdrawals, each of Rp 1.2 million,” he said, adding that they were made on Jan. 5 and Jan. 6.
Moehardomo said he discovered the missing money when trying to convert his savings account into a time deposit.
“I asked that my transactions be printed and was shocked to find that the balance was lower,” he said.
Moehardomo said he was even more surprised to find that the withdrawals were made through other banks’ ATMs, despite the fact that he only used Bank Mandiri ATMs.
Moehardomo said he had now moved all his funds into a time-deposit. “I hope the rest of my money is safe if I put it in a time deposit,” he said.
Jakarta Police said they had stepped up patrols at several ATM locations deemed unsafe.
“Of course, we coordinated with the banks. We will also patrol high-risk areas,” spokesperson Sr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar said.
Banks should have boosted the security of their databases, Boy said.
“So far [security of most ATMs] is covered only with CCTV cameras,” he said, adding that police will evaluate the most frequently visited ATM locations.
Police are now holding 13 suspects in custody for various ATM-related crimes in Jakarta and East Kalimantan and are investigate the possibility that more ATM thieves are still on the loose.
The National Police on Sunday said they had yet to confirm whether the suspects were linked in any way, or tied to the recent wave of illegal ATM withdrawals in Bali. “We will investigate, and please give us time,” National Police deputy spokesman Brig. Gen. Sulistyo Ishak said.
“We also need the public to check their accounts and report to us if their money was stolen.”
People don’t like to carry cash for fear of being robbed, but then if you go to use your ATM card someone gains access to your account and robs you. This license plate tin sign is to put some rumor back in your life.
