The rules of the game: 500 is a game of trump tricks played with 4 players in two teams of 2. The partners sit opposite each other. A 43-card deck is used (a 52-card deck, plus a joker, from which the black 2s, 3s and two 4s are removed).

The order of the cards in trump is as follows:

Joker

Jack of Trump, called Right Bower

Jack of the suit close to the trump suit (example: Clubs if the trump is Spades), called Left Bower

Trumps: Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9.

Other cards: Ace, King, Queen, Jack (if not Left Bower), 10, 9

Without trump, the joker is considered a trump, and wins the trick where it is played, no matter what

In a game of Duplicate Scrabble, each player has his or her own set of Scrabble tiles, and all letters are laid out face up. A referee draws seven letters from the bag, announces them, and all players take the same seven letters. The general game rules are then used for the duration of the game.

We often hear about the importance of loving ourselves, but many people wonder exactly what we mean by that, and whether it's selfish to give love to ourselves when we're thinking about ourselves.

During this afternoon talk, we'll explore together the obstacles that stand in the way of self-love, how we can nurture self-love through the 4 dimensions of being, and you'll leave with concrete ways to give yourself self-love on a daily basis. I invite you to come and discuss the subject during this month of love!

One Friday a month, afternoon talks allow you to discuss a different theme at each meeting, in a warm, welcoming, safe and friendly environment.

It's a story of two love affairs. A father's love for his five sons. And one son's love for his father, a love so strong it compels him to live a lie. That son is Zac Beaulieu, born on the 25th of December 1960, different from all his brothers, but desperate to fit in. During the next 20 years, life takes Zac on a surprising and unexpected journey that ultimately leads him to accept his true nature and, even more importantly, leads his father to love him for who he really is. A mystical fable about a modern-day Christ-like figure, C.R.A.Z.Y exudes the beauty, the poetry and the madness of the human spirit in all its contradictions.
