Problem: Article: Inkscape is a free, open-source vector editing program that is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. You can download it from inkscape.org. Inkscape includes a bitmap tracing tool that will attempt to automatically convert your raster image into a vector. Click "File" "Open" and browse for the bitmap image that you want to convert into a vector. Simple images and logos are best suited for this process. You'll have a difficult time getting adequate results when attempting to auto-trace a photograph. After loading the bitmap, you'll need to click it to select it on the canvas. Once you have the bitmap selected, you can open the auto-tracing tool. Click "Path" "Trace Bitmap", or press Shift+Alt+B. There are three different modes available for creating a single path. The "path" is the line tracing of your image. Selecting each one will update the Live Preview, allowing you to get a feel for what they do. These three options will help you to create a basic outline which you can then manually edit yourself. Use the "Threshold" options to adjust how the scan is processed. For the "Brightness cutoff", a threshold of 0.0 will be black, while a threshold of 1.0 will be white. For the "Edge detection", the threshold is the same and determines whether the pixel will be counted as part of the border or not. Increase the number of scans to increase the number of colors that appear. This can be an inaccurate tool, and may not be able to provide good results for complex images. Once you're happy with the results, click OK to apply them to the image. Click "Path" "Simplify" or press Ctrl+L to reduce the number of nodes. This will result in a lower-quality image, but the end result will be much easier to edit. This is located in the toolbox on the left side of the screen. You can also press F2. This will allow you to select and move nodes to edit the image. For detailed instructions on editing nodes in Inkscape, see this article. You can use the tools in the left toolbar to create shapes and lines. Use these to touch-up or replace parts of the trace that didn't turn out right. Once you've created a shape or line, you can use the nodes to adjust the curve and shape of the object. Click the "Convert selected object to path" button ( Shift+Ctrl+C) to edit the nodes shapes that you've created. Once you are satisfied with your new vector art, you can save it as a vector image. Click "File" "Save As" and choose one of the vector file formats from the drop-down menu. SVG is one of the most common vector formats.
Summary: Download and install Inkscape. Open the bitmap image in Inkscape. Select the image. Open the tracer. Select the path mode. Select the "Colors" option if you are trying to create an exact copy of a simple image. Optimize the paths once you're finished. Click the "Edit paths by nodes" button. Add your own lines. Save the file.

Problem: Article: Card counters are notorious for playing blackjack for hours and hours, often without eating or enjoying the amenities available at the resort. Acting like a tourist just looking for a simple good time may take the suspicion off of you. You want to blend in. Busting out your three-piece Armani suit is not what you want to do when starting your card counting career at your local casino. Leave the Italian suede at home and act like a regular Joe. Dealers are trained to shuffle the deck upon an unexplainable increase in the bet. For this reason, only up your bet in small increments and at seemingly random points in the game. This may seem counter to making money, but if you get thrown out, you'll be making zero. No, card counting isn't illegal, but it is heavily frowned upon and you can be asked to never return. This is why we had you practicing with the TV, radio, and several messy, loud-mouthed children. If you are so busy counting your lips are practically moving, it's a dead giveaway. Go ahead, get a drink, make small talk. Enjoy yourself. Counters have a reputation for being "zoned in" to the game. He will remain fixated on their cards while everyone else is looking at a gorgeous woman. Don't be that guy. You need to be proficient enough at counting that you can carry on a conversation. Chat with the dealer about how their day is going. If the pit boss comes up, chat with him, too. Many dealers know how to count cards. A dealer that likes you will be more likely to wait before shuffling on a favorable deck and shuffle sooner on a bad one. A dealer can help you or hurt you. Motivate the dealer to be for you. Same goes for the entire pit crew -- get them on your side, your not-so-heinous crime may slide under their radar. At any time, there are hundreds of cameras going on in the casino in addition to the eyes of the dealers, those in the pit (behind the tables), and the security staff. If they'll catch a waitress for serving a customer every 18.37 minutes, they'll definitely have the attention span to monitor you. Because of this, it's very important to be on your best behavior. If a casino suspects you're counting, they probably won't come right out and say it. They may have someone start a conversation with you to distract you, assign you a high-speed dealer, shuffle spontaneously or change the betting rules. If any of these happen, back down slowly, but immediately. When you hit a table, stay there for a spell. Why would you leave? And when you make your moves at this table, take a second to think about it. Normal blackjack players haven't spent the past three months staring at this exact set up in black and white. Everything you do needs to be nonchalant and casual. Do not jump from table to table every time the deck sours. This will bring you to the attention of the casino personnel fast. Make minimum bets until the deck is richer. Increase casually because you're doing well -- not because you know what's about to come.
Summary:
Act like a tourist. Let your bet ride, if you need to increase the bet. Appear to be interested in other things besides the game. Tip the dealer. Know who's watching you. Do everything slow.
