Rainbow Riches meets the Final Frontier
Rainbow Riches is probably the number one machine in the UK. Making guest appearances at all the top Casinos. The lucky leprechaun sits firmly on the throne.
But step forward Captain James T Kirk.
Virgin Casino are, this month, adding another great new game to their repertoire of over 250 games. The new game being beamed in is Star Trek.
This is bound to be the new pretender to the throne and the leprechaun will have to watch out for the enterprise is now firmly in orbit. Start trek fans, or Trekkies, everywhere will definitely want to look at, and possibly play this game.
The game consists of 30 paylines and visual effects from the movie. There are 4 futuristic Free Spins bonuses, each based on a Star Trek(TM) officer. The free rounds feature Captain Kirk, Spock, Uhura and Scotty and every bonus can be retriggered multiple times.
So, Will captain Kirk replace the leprechaun and take over the top spot or will Rainbow Riches retain pole position. Is this the final frontier for the leprechaun. One thing's for sure the enterprise will certainly give the wee fellow a good run its money.
What about numbers, are there more Rainbow Riches fans than trekkies out there? Probably not, but Rainbow riches fans, by their very nature, are gamblers, whereas trekkies are simply interested in Star Trek.
If you're a Star Trek fan, then this definitely could be the game for you. But you still prefer rainbow riches then join us at http://www.rainbowriches.info

Why did Commander Spock say this to Capain Kirk(Shatner) about men?

It wouldn't have been The Menagerie (that was the one where Spock hijacked the Enterprise to help Pike). I think you mean the episode The Immunity Syndrome, where Spock feels the death of hundreds of Vulcans when the Vulcan ship was destroyed. McCoy can't believe that Spock could feel the death of so many people, and Spock says "I've noticed that about your people, doctor; you find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million. You speak about the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart... yet how little room there seems to be in yours." McCoy says "Suffer the death of thy neighbour, eh Spock? You wouldn't wish that on us, would you?" and Spock replies "It might have rendered your history.. a bit less bloody."
Spock was criticising humans for not being able to grasp the death of so many, and that we find it difficult to empathise with a situation where millions have died, because it's too impersonal to us affect us deeply. If we "suffered the death of thy neighbour" and understood on a personal level the harm we cause, we wouldn't have started so many wars.

A Leadership Lesson From Captain Kirk
Commander Spock: A calculating machine, logic personified. Doctor McCoy: Passionate and compassionate, often ruled by his emotions. Then there's Captain Kirk: The quintessential leader, the balancing force between the two extremes.
This tug-of-war between cold logic and sheer emotion is one of the things that made the original Star Trek so compelling. In virtually every episode, viewers got to see the tension between Spock's computer-like view of the world and McCoy's heartfelt passions... and through it all, you had Jim Kirk, mediating this conflict and serving as the voice of balance in this precarious friendship.
And a precarious friendship it was. No episode illustrates this better than The Tholian Web, in which Captain Kirk went missing amidst the spatial anomaly known as Tholian space. The crew had justifiably given him up for lost, and without Kirk, we saw the friendship between Spock and McCoy disintegrated as their natures repeatedly clashed. With the two officers at each other throats, it took a heartfelt plea from Kirk himself delivered through a pre-recorded message to remind them of how much they needed each other, and how they needed to balance each other out.
This is one of the things that made Kirk such an effective leader. He could act logically, but he also knew how the human heart or for that matter, the hearts of Klingons and Romulans operated. His decisions were never based on cold logic alone, nor were they based solely on the heart's dictates. He knew that logic and emotion could complement each other, rather than simply being at odds.
A perfect example of this was the gambit that he played in The Corbomite Maneuver. In this episode, the Starfleet crew faced a mysterious foe in a giant spherical shipone that had the Enterprise vastly outgunned. Kirk and company had been checkmated; there was no apparent way out.
Or so it seemed. With a flash of inspiration, Kirk changed the game from chess to poker. Playing a carefully calculated bluff, he allowed his foe to overhear a transmission where Kirk threatened to set off a fictional "corbomite device" that would completely destroy any opponents and render that sector of space inhabitable. Kirk knew that they were logically outgunned, but that an emotional ployan appeal to fearwould do the trick.
The most effective leaders likewise combine both rationality and emotional intelligence. A manager who operates strictly on logic might emphasize the need to produce the best and most economical products in the market; however, someone with a deep understanding of human nature would understand that purchasing decisions are often made on emotional groundsrapport with the salesperson, for example, or the aesthetic appearance of the product. Products that sell typically incorporate both form and function, logical and emotional appeal.
A cold, calculating manager might recognize the need to confront employees who underperform or misbehave. A manager with high emotional rapport, on the other hand, would emphasize the need to handle these situations with delicacy, so as to provide correction without losing a valuable employee. Correction is often necessary, but an emotionally aware leader can correct people in such a way that they don't realize they've been corrected.
Logic and emotion. Mind and heart. Rationality and compassion. The very best leaders combine these elements, harmonizing them just as Kirk balanced the tension between Spock and McCoy. It's a lesson that's worth learning.
