Green Club attempts to overcome the uncertainty of high card point (HCP) range of 12 to 21 for opening at 1 level of a suit in SAYC. It also attempts to enhance the hand valuation method by adding long point (LP), trump point (TRP), and short point (SP) to the traditional high card point (HCP); resulting in aggregate trick point (TP). Analysis of actual hands played at tournament is provided to support the TP hand valuation method. An open bid will tell the strength of a hand within an accuracy of 3 TP. Shape of a hand is classified into 3 segments namely balance or one suiter, two suiter, and two long suiter. The objective is to tell responder at an early stage of bidding the strength and shape of a hand for timely and appropriate actions.

Scents can carry a lot of important information about the environment, conspecifics and other species. While some of these scents are positively related, as the odor of food, mating partners, or familiar conspecifics, other scents are associated with negative situations and events, e.g. the occurrence of a predator, an aggressive territorial conspecific or spoiled food. The present research topic is focused on such “scents that matter”, i.e., scents that are crucial for the survival of an organism. Since many years, the importance of scents always attracts scientists to investigate how scents affect the behavior of mammals, via which mechanisms scents are perceived and how scents modulate neural circuitries responsible for behavior. We believe that this research topic gives a nice overview on current ‘olfactory research.’ Many of the contributions are focused on scents with aversive effects, i.e. kairomones or pheromones that warn about potential threats. These studies range from research articles identifying new active odor components of predator odors, describing the induced behavioral changes and the underlying neuroanatomical and neurochemical mechanisms, to review articles summarizing the findings of the last decades on this field. Other articles are focused on the effects of scents in social behaviors or on associative learning. This research topic also represents nicely the current combination of methodological approaches in ‘olfactory research’: cell biologists, geneticists, behavioral pharmacologists, neuroanatomists, and computational modelers work effectively together to unravel the mechanisms of how scents matters in humans and animals.
