According to some embodiments of a video poker game of the present invention, a gaming device and / or controller may be configured to (i) output a pay table, (ii) deal an intermediate outcome, (iii) receive a request from a player to retain / discard a number of identified cards of the intermediate outcome, (iv) replace the discarded cards to create a primary game outcome, (v) determine a payout amount associated with the primary game outcome based on the pay table, (vi) determine one or more strategy options based on the primary game outcome to determine a secondary game outcome (e.g., holding selected cards from any in the final poker hand) (vii) determine a payout amount associated with one or more secondary game outcomes, (viii) receive a player selection to receive a strategy option, (ix) deal cards to a selected strategy, (x) determine whether or not the player achieves a winning secondary game outcome, and if so, (xi) output the payout amount associated with the winning secondary game outcome. Thus, in some embodiments, a video poker game of the present invention may allow a player to retain one or more cards of a primary video poker game, select a strategy based on the primary game outcome, and receive a payout if the player achieves a winning game outcome in the secondary game.

A stable topical alcohol-free aerosol foam containing one or more keratolytic agents is provided. The foam-forming formulation is an oil-in-water emulsion which contains one or more hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) propellants and one or more keratolytic agents. The keratolytic agent may be present in either phase of the emulsion or dispersed in the emulsion. The oil phase may consist at least in part of the HFA propellant. The foam is stable on the skin for at least 5 minutes at body temperature and disappears into the skin upon rubbing or after prolonged standing. The formulations may not contain additional co-solvents or non-HFA co-propellants. The formulations demonstrate reduced intensity of the odor and / or color associated with the keratolytic agent(s) as compared to conventional formulations containing keratolytic agents.

The invention discloses a modeling method for a medium and long-term wind power output model of a power system capable of optimally running for medium and long terms. The modeling method has the advantages that wind power output of the power system in day peak periods, day valley periods and day shoulder load periods is computed, wind power output data in the day shoulder load periods are optimally selected, a wind power generation capacity substitution benefit is reasonably taken into consideration, a bidirectional wind power output peak-load regulation characteristic is considered on the premise that the running reliability level of the power system is guaranteed, the peak-load regulation balance of the power system is guaranteed, energy conservation and emission reduction benefits of wind power resources are sufficiently realized, the highest utilization rate of the wind power generating capacity is guaranteed, the characteristic of low schedulability of wind power is sufficiently taken into consideration, the randomness and the volatility of wind power output are correctly simulated, the modeling method conforms to medium and long-term optimal running simulation engineering practice of the power system, and the purpose of effectively computing the randomness, the volatility, the regionalism and the bidirectional peak-load regulation characteristic of wind power generation and the mutual relation among wind power generation and loads is achieved.
