Trump's Friend To 'Drain The Swamp' In British Parliament
November 15, 2016 Sean Adl-Tabatabai News, UK 2
One of Donald Trump's closest British allies is planning to "drain the swamp" in Parliament in an effort to bring Trump's vision to the UK.
Arron Banks, a major UKIP funder, is planning on creating a new movement that he says will put 200 parliamentary candidates against MPs he deems lazy, ineffective, or corrupt at the next general election.
Leave.eu reports:
The insurance tycoon believes that there is an anti-establishment sentiment in Britain that can be harnessed at election time, similar to the forces that have led to Brexit and to Mr Trump's victory in the United States.
He believes that the widespread hostility to the decision to elect Keith Vaz, the Labour MP accused by the Sunday Mirror of paying for the services of two male escorts, who is under police investigation for alleged drug offences, to the justice select committee shows the appetite for wholesale change.
"You would rate MPs by (undesirability) with Keith Vaz at No 1, and field a great candidate, a military guy, doctor, someone who has done something with their life. It would be a one-off attempt to drain the swamp. It would be highly amusing to tease career politicians with a hot poker," Mr Banks told The Times.
Mr Banks met Mr Trump in New York over the weekend. The president-elect campaigned to rid Washington of what he believed were corrupt networks of lobbyists, aides and politicians.
Mr Banks is modelling the movement on the insurgent candidacy of Martin Bell in 1997. The veteran BBC war reporter stood as an independent to defeat Neil Hamilton, the disgraced Tory MP accused of taking bribes from Mohamed Al-Fayed, the owner of Harrods, in the cash-for-questions scandal.
Mr Bell went on to win the Tatton seat with a majority of more than 11,000, overturning what had been the third biggest Tory majority in the country. Mr Hamilton switched to Ukip and has been regularly at odds with Mr Banks who has called him a "creature from the gutter".
Mr Banks said that this new group would not take explicit party positions, and instead the candidates would stand on a one-term promise to push through fundamental change in Westminster.
Among the ideas he thinks his new movement could support would be forcing through a change of the rules so that MPs can only hold office for two terms, abolition of the House of Lords and pushing for an elected senate, and insisting on a lower age limit of 40 for MPs to stop career politicians.
"It's a very simple agenda: to destroy the professional politician. I like the idea of clearing the place out, setting new rules, maybe reducing the number of MPs. Not a party from the left or right. Just to clear out the worst lot," Mr Banks said.
Mr Banks believes he could identify 200 MPs who are either lazy, careerist or in his view corrupt and mobilise against them. He is likely to have to fund the venture at the start but has a network of wealthy donors from his role setting up Leave.eu, one of the Brexit-supporting referendum campaign groups. Mr Farage could be involved in the future, but as the interim leader of Ukip is unable to discuss such a possibility.
Yesterday the backlash against Mr Vaz's role in the committee gathered pace. Sir Edward Garnier, the former solicitor-general, told The Sunday Timesthat it was "inappropriate" for the Leicester East MP to be on the committee during the investigation.
"This is the justice select committee — it is not the drawing pins committee or the paperclips committee," he said. "It is not appropriate for an MP under investigation by the police to be on the committee. Once the matter is resolved, perhaps he can come back on to it, but for the present, he should come off it."

One good thing leads to another. Started my day scrolling through posts by Tumblr bloggers that I follow. One blogger who loves French inspiration and French inspired things led me to a vintage picture of petit fours. From there the web opened its doors and I found these gorgeous cakes. Shared first via my Instagram account. But since some of my Food Ways subscribers don't follow me via social media, I'm resharing the content here. Please enjoy.
Found this article because it was shared by a dear friend via her Google+ posts stream. Yes my children are all grown, with the exception of one still a teenager. Yes they say that mom always says "Don't waste food. Children are starving in Africa."
Yes I said it and I'll say it again!
It's not just Africa either! It's all around the world!
You know what else? My mom used to say the same thing to me!
Now I'm 60 years old and the sad thing is that it was true when my mom said it.
It was probably true before she said it.
It's 2016 and it's still true!
WHY???!!! There's no excuse for it!!
" ... 31 percent—or 133 billion pounds—of the 430 billion pounds of the available food supply at the retail and consumer levels went uneaten in the United States ..."
"... 40 percent of all food in the United States was never eaten. ..."
Sorry. This is one of those things in this world that really perturbs me. Every time I see it, hear it or read about it, I break out the megaphone and start preaching!! Each time, I hope the words are not falling on deaf ears.
Are You a Food Waster?
In my mind's eye, the opposite of WASTE is CHARITY.
OK. You can't end world hunger. But is there not one act of charity that you can render to another person? Is there really nothing you can do?
LittleThings is a website/platform that serves as home to a myriad group of content creators. The publishers don't just share info about food, but that's where my interests lie. You can partner with them as a social influencer, which is what I am doing. Found them through SnipsMedia* . Hope you appreciate the content shared below. Celebrate your inner chef!
Some people make a meal just eating appetizers.
When the season changes to fall or winter, do you always look for pumpkin and squash recipes?
Bought my son a waffle iron for Christmas once. He used it at first and then became bored. These recipes are proof that he simply lacked creativity and cooking inspiration.
We all know pasta is comfort food. But isn't a pasta dish quick to make? Not necessarily.
Most of my friends say they don't bake bread because they don't have time. Wonder if they ever tried baking bread in a jar?
You can use this dessert recipe to celebrate Easter and if you don't celebrate that holiday, then celebrate Spring! It's dessert! Surely you can come up with an excuse to eat cake!
Wishing you a happy holiday in advance.
Also, don't forget that March is Irish-American Heritage Month.

Forseti (nórdico antiguo "el que preside", actualmente "presidente" en islandés moderno y feroés) es el Æsir dios de la justicia, la paz y la verdad en la mitología nórdica. Es el hijo de Baldr y Nanna. Su hogar era Glitnir, significando brillante, refiriéndose al techo plateado del vestíbulo y sus dorados pilares, de los cuales irradiaban luz que podía ser vista desde una gran distancia.

Forseti era considerado el más sabio y elocuente de los dioses de Asgard. En contraste con su dios compañero Tyr, quien presidía los sangrientos asuntos de la ley carnal, Forseti presidía las disputas resolviéndolas mediante la mediación. Se sentaba en su vestíbulo, dispensando justicia a aquellos que la buscaban, y era dicho que siempre podía proveer una solución que todas las partes consideraran justa. Como su padre Balder, era un dios dulce y favorecía la paz de modo que todos los juzgados por él podían vivir en seguridad en tanto cumplieran con su sentencia. Forseti era tan respetado que sólo los más solemnes juramentos era pronunciados en su nombre.

No es mencionado como un combatiente en el Ragnarök, así que se asume que como dios de la paz se abstuvo de la batalla.

Se cree que él fue el dios mayor o ancestro de los Frisones.

Poetry Shelf, Poet's Choice: CK Stead makes a pick
On Wednesday at Auckland University Press I launched Anne French's new collection, The Blue Voyage. Anne has always been a sailor (a 'yachtie') and the sea figures somewhere in all her books. The title sequence in this one is based on sailing in the Aegean, south of Turkey. This gives her both seascapes and landscapes/cityscapes, the flora, and even something of the history and changing politics, of the region. There is an amusing set of poems by Anne's invented local poet, William Butler Smith who has more than an accidental connection with W.B. Yeats; and by contrast, some translations of exquisitely delicate poems by the Korean modernist, Han Yong-un. Anne has always seemed to me a clever poet who tells things as they are, and as they have been, from a woman's perspective (remember The male as evader, a few years back?) – and that is still the case; but there are gentler notes now, and some very touching elegies, including one for Nigel Cox, one to 'Uncle Max', and one (in cricketing terms) to 'Auntie Paddy' whose
heart ticked on long after
she'd stopped eating, talking, or looking
forward to anything but the walk
back to the pavilion.
I think maybe the central poem of the book for me is one called 'Ziran', where after a rough passage sailing they have emerged into calm seas and she's 'leaning back against two sail bags / singing Puccini.'
The Chinese word for 'natural' is self-so,
John tells me later: true to its own nature
and the way of the world. Self-so then is this joy
that fills every part of me and lifts me into myself.
The thought of being lifted into, rather than out of, oneself is typical of the small surprises she delivers. This is a book full of Self-so.

PERCEIVED TEACHER EFFORT AND STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN READING
EGAN, MARGARET THERESA
This study investigated the relationship between perceived teacher effort and student achievement in reading. This study was partly a replication of Blair's (1975) investigation of teacher effort-student achievement relationships in a New England school system. Blair's findings supported the theory that teacher effort in teaching is associated with student achievement in reading.;The present study was conducted with an urban nonpublic school population of students and teachers in New York State. Twenty-six principals rated their perceptions of 139 teachers' effort on "The Teacher Effort Scale in Reading." The reading scores of 2,078 third through sixth-grade students in Title 1 and Nontitle 1 schools were also examined.;The questions explored in the study were: (1) Is there a significant difference between the reading achievement scores of students in self-contained classes and a randomly chosen comparison sample of students from cross-class groups at the upper primary and middle grade levels? (2) Is there a significant difference between the reading achievement scores of upper primary and middle grade students? (3)Is there a significant difference between the reading achievement scores of students of high effort and low effort teachers at the upper primary and middle grade levels? (4)Is there a significant difference between the reading achievement scores of students in Title 1 and Nontitle 1 schools? Will there be significant differences between the scores of students of high effort and low effort teachers within Title 1 and Nontitle 1 schools?;A four-way analysis of covariance tested the significance of differences and interaction effects of the dependent and independent variables. The dependent variable was the students' 1979 SRA reading achievement scores; the independent variables were class organization, grade level, teacher effort and student SES. The two covariates were the 1978 SRA scores and years of teacher experience.;The findings of the data analysis indicated no statistically significant difference between the reading achievement scores of students in self-contained classes and the cross-class comparison sample. There was a significant difference between the reading scores of upper primary and middle grade students. High teacher effort in teaching reading, as described through principals' ratings, was statistically significant in fostering higher student reading scores especially at the middle grade level where the greater positive effect was observed. The negative effects of low effort teaching were more pronounced at the upper primary grade level. There was a statistically significant difference between the reading scores of Title 1 and Nontile 1 students. In addition, there was a significant difference between the scores of students of high effort and low effort teachers within the Title 1 sample only. The covariate, years of teacher experience, was significant in its relationship to students' achievement scores.;The findings of the study have suggested that teacher effort in reading is consistently associated with student achievement. These results lend additional credibility to theories that emphasize the importance of the teacher variable in reading. Thus, the study has important implications for the selection and training of teachers.

2nd Ifield has just returned from the Stanford 50th birthday celebration camp and activity day. All sections from within the group attended along with over 200 campers and 350 day visitors from the whole of Crawley District. They were able to take part in numerous activities including climbing, crate stacking, rifle shooting, archery, traversing, laser tag, bungee run, gladiators and a whole lot more! The main activity day then finished with a campfire for over 300 people and professional fireworks display. Fun was had by all that attended and the leaders are now recovering in preparation for water camp and group camp which are over the next two weekends.
Some photos of the event are available below although we will upload more over the next few weeks!

Q: Children's Novel, Early 2000's, Talking Tattoos I can't remember terribly much about the book. I think it was fairly large for a child.
The main character is a teenage girl. She is part of a family/clan who all have very specific superpowers. They range in intensity and specificity, but hers was on the low end. Tattoos could speak to her, and could tell her the inner thoughts of the person to whom they were attached. This worked even with temporary tattoos and ink drawn on skin.
I remember a minor subplot of her dealing with her attraction to a boy that gets drawn into whatever the major conflict is, but has no powers (wrong place/wrong time deal).
The major source of transportation is a yellow ex-school bus that is a main feature of the family. It also appears on the cover.

A: Savvy
This is Savvy, by Ingrid Law.

Yes, school bus on the cover.
And the main character has a family with various powers, such as her brother, who can create storms, or her mother, who does mundane tasks (anything from baking a cake to throwing or not throwing a horseshoe) perfectly.
You've got the tattoo power right:

I couldn't fathom how Bobbi had managed to get a tattoo. I knew that
if Miss Rosemary, the woman with direct connections to heaven and the
ability to get God Almighty to help her plan my birthday party, if she
ever found out, Bobbi might not make it to her own next  birthday
party, nor up to heaven to get her very own halo either.
That was when that little angel turned its head, twirled its tail,
and said, "She's really very lonely you know …
Savvy

There are at least two sequels, Scumble and Switch, I believe.

The best form of advertising for us is by creating happy, loyal customers, time after time. A process that is automatic when you put out a quality product that exceeds our customers' expectations while being offered at a fair price.
You'll find we're priced right in line and often times quite less than other aluminum trailers. But you won't find the quality or attention to detail in those trailers as you will with a trailer from PROLine Products.
PROLine Products is family owned and operated. Any time a customer calls a family member answers the phone to make sure questions are addressed in a timely manner. This is a key ingredient to our top-notch customer service.
What Type of Trailer Do You Need?
Interested in a completely custom trailer?
We've invested thousands of dollars in custom aluminum extrusions to help make you the strongest trailer possible. We know what happens to trailers when they leave our facility, they're immediately dragged over some of the worst roads in the world and they need to work time, and time again. You don't want to spend your vacation time fixing your trailer and we don't want you to either. Our frames are designed to be trouble free for years to come.
This is why we've not only designed our aluminum trailer frames to handle this abuse but we go even further; we fully weld all of our trailer frames. This means we actually flip over the entire trailer deck and weld the other side. Resulting in twice as many welds than most other companies to produce a much stronger frame. This is something you'd never see unless you rip out the floor but it makes for a much more durable trailer.
This is one of the many reasons why PROLine aluminum trailers tow straighter and look better, longer.
Let's be honest, not everyone has a garage big enough to house an enclosed trailer, not everyone even has a garage. Even further, a lot of people buy trailers to use as a garage for your snowmobiles, motorcycles, and ATVs!
So why do other companies build a trailer that can't handle a snow load? We live in and use our trailers in a snowy climate so I can't answer that for you but snow doesn't bother us or our trailers.
We build our roofs with rugged 1″ x 2″ aluminum tubes and put them 16″ on center. That means a roof nearly 2.5 times stronger than many other trailers on the market. This doesn't mean that you can leave your trailer in Northern Maine and let 10′ of snow pile up, but when you see a Nor'easter in the forecast you'll feel confident your trailer will be recognizable the next time you see it!
PROLine's trailer structures are fully integrated components, each and every sidewall upright is welded directly to the trailer deck and to the roof creating a single structure. Prior to welding, every trailer gets checked to make sure it's square, clamped in with additional bracing to lock in those dimensions, and then welded. This minimizes weld distortion to make sure your trailer will be put together square, keeping your trailer nice and tight and the weather out.
Odds are you're likely buying a trailer to haul around some prized possessions. Whether it's your new (or old) Mustang, a few snowmobiles, or your precious motorcycle.
When you tie these items down to the trailer you need confidence that they're going to stay there for the duration of your trip. We can't tie down all your cargo for you but you can be sure that whenever there is a tie down installed on your trailer it was done properly.
All of our D-rings have a proprietary aluminum backing plate that gets welded to the trailer frame so when you're tying down that new Porsche you don't have to worry about pulling up the trailer floor. Same thing when tying down to our Quick-Adjust Floor Rails.
Our Quick-Adjust Floor Rails are welded to every floor cross member, effectively tying down to the frame, not the floor.
And the optional E-track on the walls of our trailers? We weld in additional aluminum tubing to the wall uprights to ensure that your E-track is properly locked into the traielr walls.
Every trailer is checked and double checked so it leaves our shop looking its best. We make sure that every trailer we produce leaves looking clean, with screws lining up, lines cut straight, doors installed tight, and every trim screw properly located.
Some might wonder if it's worth giving a trailer this much extra attention, but every time a customer sees one of our trailers the look on their face assures us we're doing it right.
It's the little things we do that let you know we care about our products and our customers. Whether it's the rain gutter over the side door or all the interior lights that come standard; we want to build you the absolute best trailer possible.
What good is a strong frame if you don't have the components to support it? This is why we use the best parts we can find to go into our trailers.
We only use galvanized Dexter Torflex Axles™ on our trailers and these axles all carry a 10 year warranty on their suspension systems. Torsion axles provide a smoother, quieter ride, and last much longer than spring axles. These axles also come equipped with E-Z Lube Hubs. When installed our axles aren't bolted through the frame that would result in a stress point in the frame; we weld on axle plates and bolt through the sides.
We don't carry a painted steel rim. Why buy a nice aluminum trailer just to have the wheels rusting almost immediately? Our standard wheel is galvanized to make sure it stays looking great for a long time. And of course we offer an upgraded aluminum wheel option.
LED Lights are standard on every one of our trailers. Also we never use a single diode LED as a clearance light! Our clearance lights all have multiple diodes in them for a better quality and brighter light. Additionally, EVERY enclosed PROLine trailer comes standard with multiple LED interior lights that are switched by the side door and in most cases there are 3 or 4 lights. We like to see what we're doing, we figured you probably do too.
Our ramp door hinges are aluminum and equipped with grease fittings to keep them operating smoother longer. No more stainless steel strap hinges that get brittle over time and break.
We use quality radial tires on ALL of our trailers. And all of our tires come with a 5 year warranty plus 2 years of roadside assistance!
If one of our trailers has brakes on it we don't skimp and use the cheap 8″ brakes. We use the full size 10″ electric brakes and the brakes go on both axles on the tandem axle trailers. No nonsense charges and hidden fees either. We're even using Dexter's self-adjusting brakes as a standard feature! Saving you time and money but more importantly, making sure your trailer will stop when you need it to!
We've heard it too many times that trailer lights only work for the first year and then the corrosion kicks in. Before you know it you're re-wiring that "brand new" trailer. This is why we run all of our electrical for the lights inside the trailer and not along the frame. The only wires run along the frame are for the trailer brakes which are coated in a waterproof insulation.
Stainless steel carriage bolts fasten our hinges and door bar locks to the trailer frame for security and long term good looks. We use hardened bolts to mount our axles to the frame and for our trailer couplers. We fasten our electric brake wire to the frame with vinyl coated metal clamps screwed to the trailer frame, not the stick-on variety others might use.
Why are your aluminum trailers more or less expensive?
Yes, we hear this question on both ends of the spectrum. If you find our trailers expensive, odds are you're either comparing it to a steel framed trailer (which would be MUCH less expensive than ours) or another aluminum trailer without the same great features that we put standard on all of our trailers.
Price out that same enclosed aluminum trailer with the features we give you standard on most of ours (Dexter Torflex Axles w/ EZ Lube Hubs, galvanized wheels, radial tires, LED lights, 3/4″ flooring, quality side doors, ramp doors with spring assists, roof and walls on 16″ center, all aluminum & fully welded tubular frames, etc).
You'll find we're typically priced right in line and often times quite less, and you want find the quality in whatever other brand trailer as you will in a PROLine Products LLC trailer.
Why don't you have any dealers?
In our time of making trailers, we've found that "trailer dealers" typically only try to sell what they have sitting on their lot. Here at PROLine, we pride ourselves on selling the right trailer to the right customer so it's best our customers contact us directly to help them get into the perfect trailer for their needs. Being the manufacturer we're just as happy to custom build a trailer for someone as to sell them one off our lot. It's all about identifying and meeting our customer's needs then exceeding their expectations.
Do you perform trailer repairs?
If a trailer that was originally made by PROLine Products LLC is damaged we are happy to help and get it back on the road, however, we DO NOT do any repairs on any other brand's trailers.
How long does it take to build a trailer?
Lead times typically keep us out anywhere between 3 and 6 weeks but can be longer. If you need a trailer in a hurry please check out our inventory page to see what's currently available. Also, don't be afraid to call because we're always building trailers to have in inventory and may be building exactly what you need.
For deposits we can take Visa, Mastercard, Discover, cash, or check. For final payment of your trailer we request that you pay in cash or a bank check. We also have financing available through Sheffield Financial.
Can I come look at your trailer inventory?
The overwhelming majority of our completed trailers are stored in a warehouse until they're purchased and picked up. If you come during business hours we can show you our current inventory as well as any completed and ready to pick up trailers. So come on by and check out why PROLine aluminum trailers are the best quality and best value.

Slovakia The name Slovakia is simply the historic word used to describe the Slavic people. In Slovak this word is slověn and the country name, in Slovak, is "Slovensko."
The people and culture of Slovakia are rooted in the mountains. For much of history the Slavs who made these lands home were somewhat isolated in the mountains and therefore had fewer outside influences than other regions. Despite this, many cultural similarities were shared throughout the Carpathian Mountains and many foods can be found as far away as Ukraine. However, today the culture has numerous modern introductions, including technology and Christianity among many others.
Due to the mountains, the culture and many sub-cultures of Slovakia are distinct and there are slight variations from village to village regarding dress, foods, lifestyle, and other cultural aspects. However, when something is introduced to these mountains, it tends to stay and this was the case with Christianity. The people converted to Christianity early and have since remained loyal to Catholicism. Even today Catholicism makes a significant impact on the culture and people as nearly every town can be spotted with a rising church chapel in front of the mountainous backdrop.
Although many villages are somewhat isolated in Slovakia, the country is also accessible in many areas and in these areas the people have had profound cultural and historical influences introduced by the Austrians, Hungarians, Czechs, and others. In fact, the Slovaks and Czechs were united for much of history and the similarities between these people and their cultures are still obvious, although differences abound.
In more recent times the culture has again changed due to political changes. Falling under communist rule for much of the 1900s, the country sadly boasts Soviet-inspired architecture. This rule also urbanized the people to a great degree and shifted the focus of the economy from farming to industry. These changes meant a shift from the mountains to the cities and lowlands, while drastically altering the lifestyle. The lifestyle has continued to change since the fall of communism as Slovakia has joined the European Union and has a growing economy. Despite the many changes though, the Slovak culture is still rooted in the mountains as traditional foods, clothing, architecture, and attitudes persevere.
Slovakia's flag is based off the Pan-Slavic flag, which is also red, white, and blue. In the foreground is Slovakia's coat of arms, which includes the double cross of St. Cyril and St. Methodius and three hills.

I have been speaking English as a second language for the last 25 years and always wondering why I still sound foreign.
Detailed analysis of my speech pattern and skilful teaching methods made me understand how English sounds work.
All lessons achieve what they set out to do – explaining in ordinary language just how best English can be learnt and spoken.
I decided to take lessons for professional and personal reasons. As a non-native, reduction of my German accent was the main aim.

Not all kos are worth the same to both sides; in the Ko fight Example, White had nothing to lose by playing the ko, so she need not have any qualms about starting it. However, some kos can cost more than they are worth.  Imagine a situation like the one here.
Here, if White starts the ko with a, but then loses the ko eventually, she will lose her lower right corner. If Black loses the ko, then he will lose his group on the lower edge.
Hence, the ko at a and b is important for White as well. In this situation White needs ko threats larger than her corner in order to win the ko. It would be of no use for her to play a ko threat of 10 points (say), as her corner is worth at least 15 points. Black would finish the ko by playing c and would have gained 5 points or more.
Comment: I have calculated the values of these positions (ignoring the ko threats on the left and assuming that the right side is Black territory). They are hyperactive, which means that their value depends on who can win the ko. Who can win the ko is called the komaster.
I have not included Black's territory on the right. If Black is komaster, White connects with sente. The local result is -1 (1 point for White, net). If White is komaster, the miai value of the position is 12 1/3. Either Black connects or White throws in. The local count is -2 1/3.
There is a new technique for evaluating kos, based on the idea that nobody is komaster, but one player can win the ko while the other gets an equitable exchange. That method gives a local count of -1, but Black connects with sente.
the ko initiator? has to search for the first threat!
The opponent gets 2 moves in a row for simply "losing"/exchanging the ko.
The initial target as seen by white is 9 black stones + 6 points of territory to be gained in 2 moves (a+b).
 if White recklessly starts the ko, then Black can account 43 points (24+19) with one move c! White should have bigger ko threats instead of dreaming in the exchange.
 if Black recklessly starts the ko, then White can earn 24 points with one connection move.
with the burden of looking for the 1st threat yourself (while it was undecided before).
Bill: Once the ko is made, it is direct for both players. It is like a kind of 10000 year ko (which is like seki).
tderz A TwoStageKo transforms within one move into a direct ko, pl. cf. with 2-Stage-Ko.
Bill: A ko that transforms in one move into a direct ko is an approach ko. In a two stage ko if we are at a point where one player with the move can win the ko, the other player must take the ko twice to reach a point where she can win the ko on the next play. A similar term, two step ko, has been used in English for both kinds of ko, which has led to confusion.
This diagram is different. Here White has the marked stone in place and thus losing the ko for her means only losing the single stone at the edge. Black on the other hand may lose his group worth over 20 points. If White plays a ko threat worth 10 points in this situation, Black will finish the ko as well (again playing c), but this time White will be better off. She would gain 4 points compared to connecting at b instead.
Jasonred : In this example, is it correct to say that, for white, losing the ko means losing the chance to take that group which is over 20 points?
If Black is komaster, White starts the ko, losing it in exchange for plays elsewhere, when the ambient temperature is between 5 and 10 1/3, as a rule. Below that temperature White connects with sente. The local count is -6 1/3.
If White is komaster, either Black fills at a or White throws in. The miai value of a play at a is 9. The local count is -9.
By the no komaster method, the local count lies in between, at -7 2/3.
The importance of this difference is the following: If a ko is 'lopsided' in your advantage, you should have no qualms about starting it. You might well lose the ko, but you will get an unanswered ko threat to follow up in compensation. Thus, in the second diagram on this page, White should (if the ko is large enough) almost alway play at a if it is her move, and be happy whether she wins or loses the ko. In the first diagram on the other hand, she will have to count both players' ko threats first. If Black has more (sufficiently large) ko threats, it is best to play b. If White has more, a is better.
On the other hand, if it is Black's move, he should never (well, almost never) play the ko in the second diagram, but connect at a instead. In the first diagram, his choice too hangs on the balance of ko threats.
Jasonred : I don't understand why calculations come into this, or why a ko is lopsided in the first place. Isn't Go a zero sum game of sorts? Causing a disaster for your opponent should be worth the same as avoiding a disaster for yourself, also equal to winning points for yourself, and stopping your opponent from winning points.
Bill: Jason, I think that your attitude is correct. :-) But history plays a role. White's last play might have threatened this ko, for instance. Then the fact that it is lopsided would matter.
Is there such a thing as a ko draw?
In other words, I am saying that all ko's should be calculated based on how much they're worth in total, by taking the value of black winning, minus black losing, and remember sente.
Tas: I agree with your view on go beeing a zero sum game, and have been very near to writing something like that on many other pages. But in this particular case i can see the point. It is not so much about winning or losing the ko, as about wheter to start it at all. And the ko-starting move in the second diagram is much bigger when done by white than by black.

When an employer sends employees on a staff day out to train, bond and develop team skills, perhaps the best place to do so is at the zoo.
Eighteen traffic wardens who patrol the streets of Ashford, Kent, were sent to nearby Port Lympne Wild Animal Park to do just that.
But they were not monkeying around. The idea behind the visit was to train colleagues and boost morale within a team that has high levels of turnover.
Employee Benefits feels that some vital lessons could have been learned from the park's animals.
Perhaps the traffic wardens could have picked up tips from the gibbons on how to bond and stay together, learned how to become strong and courageous from the lions, and how to run fast after placing parking fines on cars from the zoo's cheetahs.
But the day was not just full of educational learning and staff team building. The 18 wardens even managed to get their hands dirty by helping muck out the animals.

Researchers from the University of California San Diego have found that if they feed adenosine (ATP), a molecule that occurs naturally in the body, to human pluripotent stem cells, they will regenerate bone tissue. Shyni Varghese, Ph.D. a bioengineering professor at UC San Diego was senior author of the study.
According to the August 31, 2016 news release, "The stem-cell-derived bone tissue helped repair cranial bone defects in mice without developing tumors or causing infection. The work could lead to regenerative treatments for patients with critical bone defects and soldiers who have suffered traumatic bone injuries. The findings, published August 31 in the journal Science Advances, could also lead to a simple, scalable and inexpensive way to manufacture a pure population of bone-building cells.
Dr. Varghese told OTW, "We are studying bone tissue formation and devising new methods to induce osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. This work stems from our previous study, which investigated how calcium phosphate minerals found in bone tissue induce stem cells to differentiate into osteoblasts. We have identified that stem cells take up calcium phosphate to produce ATP, a metabolic molecule, which then breaks down into adenosine and functions as an autocrine or paracrine molecule and signals the stem cells to become osteoblasts.

Fish Point, on the southwestern tip of Pelee Island, is a 110-hectare Provincial Nature Reserve. It features dunes and the intriguing, crescent shaped sand spit that constantly shifts with water erosion along this most southerly tip of Essex Region that is inhabited. Middle Island, an uninhabited nature reserve located a bit further south, is the absolute most southern land in Canada. Dangerous rip currents can be present at the tip during windy conditions so swimming there is not recommended. Hiking and cycling trails and continuous beaches provide access to the area.
Fish Point contains old growth Carolinian forest and a marshy lagoon where birds are most easily spotted during spring and fall migrations. Rare animals such as the Eastern Fox Snake, Lake Erie Watersnake and Giant Swallowtail Butterfly make their home in the reserve. Uncommon plants such as Prickly Pear cactus and Hop trees also grow there. Fishing is very productive around the point with bass and walleye being the most plentiful species.
Nearby Mill Point exhibits glacial erosion grooves in its exposed limestone alvars. The adjacent Stone Road Alvar is one of the most significant limestone plain landscapes that holds impressive stands of Chinquapin oak, Eastern Red cedar and one of the rarest snakes in Canada, the Blue Racer. A reddish variant of the common Gray squirrel is another unusual species found on Pelee Island.

The "Rogue Cartoonist" Ben Garrison on What it's Like to be a Political Cartoonist During the Presidential Election
"When a cartoonist attempts to be 'fair and balanced' and 'understand all sides,' they have failed."
Rob Hill
Ben Garrison started cartooning in grade school. He began by drawing caricatures of classmates and teachers. His first editorial cartoon was published in 1980 by the San Angelo Standard-Times. It featured Uncle Sam delivering a draft notice to an 18-year-old while simultaneously blowing out the kid's birthday cake candles and forming a small atomic explosion.
Today, Garrison's mission is to draw cartoons that expose tyranny and corruption, giving a voice back to 'The People,' supporting the freedom of speech, showing how corrupt the establishment of both political parties are and how they are destroying our country and traditions with globalism. Needless to say, he has his hands full right now. Life & News sat down with the "rogue cartoonist" to chat about what makes a good political cartoon, receiving death threats, his distaste for Hillary Clinton and the establishment at large, and who he thinks is going to win in November.
Your style is so unique. Who were some of your influences?
I'd say Oliphant. I still admire his brushwork to this day, but I looked at cartoonists earlier than that. I like those working around the turn of the century. I like the harshness of their messages and the well-crafted drawing. Today, too many cartoonists are forced by editors and syndicates to draw cheap gags and inoffensive, politically correct pap. Publishers don't like having to deal with irate readers.
What makes a good political cartoonist?
When a cartoonist attempts to be 'fair and balanced' and 'understand all sides,' they have failed. Too many avoid that altogether and instead become comedians. They take any topic and cast about and ask themselves: "What's funny in this?" I despise that attitude. Sure, satirical humor is an important element, but not the only element. A good cartoonist need not be funny to be effective. Many of my best cartoons are not funny.
"Hillary Clinton is the very face of corruption and criminality. It's imperative that she not be rewarded again with the White House for her astonishing amount of egregious misdeeds and criminal acts. She's incompetent. She's an accomplished liar. She's smugly callous. I will continue to expose her all I can."
You seem to really take aim at Hillary Clinton. Why?
Hillary Clinton is the very face of corruption and criminality. It's imperative that she not be rewarded again with the White House for her astonishing amount of egregious misdeeds and criminal acts. It's almost as if she's not happy unless she's getting away with something. She's incompetent. She's an accomplished liar. She's smugly callous and laughs when she's had people murdered. She and her husband should be ashamed to even be on the stage—but, of course, they lack shame. They have no conscience. She represents the status quo. I will continue to expose her all I can.
How has the digital age affected your work and thinking?
When I first began drawing cartoons again in 2009 I really didn't understand Internet culture or social media. I didn't expect my cartoons to go very far. I published them on my blog and posted them on a few bulletin boards. By 2010, I was already being trolled by people who thought I was some white supremacist Nazi nut. That's because the trolls were spreading vandalized versions better than I could my own originals. It took a lot of work on social media, and with the help of my wife, Tina, I finally reclaimed my own voice. It's nearly impossible to defeat the Internet hate machine, but I was able to overcome it by changing my approach to the trolling.
Where did your moniker the "rogue cartoonist" come from?
I invented it! I'm not attached to any media arm and can draw whatever I like. I wrote a book titled Rogue Cartoonist but it was very expensive for me to get it published due to the color plates. The book had to have a high price and as a result I only got $1 per copy in royalties. People thought I was being greedy by the high price, but not so. It cost me a lot of money. The book was not successful.
What is it like doing political cartoons during a presidential election?
I'm trying to draw as many cartoons as I can. Not for money or fame but because it's so important that we don't continue to ignorantly hand our country over to the same elite who rig everything to their own benefit while lying to us.
What's your daily routine?
I've always been a newshound. I worked at newspapers for nearly 20 years. Nowadays, I have sites I visit like the Drudge Report, and I watch TV—even CNN. I want to hear what the propaganda arms are saying. I will visit liberal sites on the Internet, too. I want to read and hear from all sides.
Who are some of your political influences?
I was all over the map in my youth but I did like the idea of being an Independent. I voted for candidates such as John Anderson, Ross Perot, and even for Ralph Nader. By 2008 my mind was made up and I considered myself a Libertarian. I also became a big Ron Paul supporter. He's the only presidential candidate to whom I donated money.
What kind of feedback do you get from your fans and critics?
A lot of people send me cartoon ideas and many of them are very good. I got a lot of good feedback back in 2010 when I drew one of my most famous cartoons, "The March of Tyranny." After that the trolls took over and I mostly got hate mail. I've had death threats, too. By 2014, the trolling was at its peak and after my book did little good I almost considered throwing in the towel. Instead, I started turning things around and I began getting some very positive email from some terrific people and that has continued to this day. I'd say 95 percent of the mail I receive now is from people who like my cartoons.
Is there one particular cartoon that has gotten you the most attention?
My "Abandon Ship" Brexit cartoon. It was seen by millions and I got a tremendous positive response. I sold many prints. That cartoon helped make it okay for people, mainly in England, to at least question the unlimited influx of Muslim immigration.
"Trump will win in a landslide. Look at the rallies. He outdraws Hillary by 10-to-1. Nobody wants to listen to Hillary cough and sputter her empty platitudes."
Ok, lighting round. Say the first few things that pop into your head about the following….
Mitt Romney… just another rich neocon with too much money and zero charm. His anti-Trump stance showed his true colors: a globalist, statist stooge.
Barack Obama… is probably a Muslim and a communist. His real daddy is Frank Marshall Davis, the Hawaiian communist and Soviet Union spy. Hence the birth certificate fraud—and that's exactly what it is. Obama's grandfather worked for the CIA and couldn't have a communist on the birth certificate, so it was left blank. Then he arranged for a Kenyan (who was already married) to pretend to be the dad for a while and in exchange he arranged for Obama Sr. to go to Harvard. Barry looks a lot like his "mentor," Davis, and nothing like Obama Sr.
Donald Trump…. was never on my radar much. I never watched his shows. I just thought he was another billionaire blow hard. When he tossed his hat into the ring, I thought it was a publicity stunt. But out of all the candidates, he stood out. When I saw how he was unafraid of political correctness I was surprised. What a breath of fresh air! I still disagree with him on many issues but compared to Hillary it's no contest.
Richard Nixon…was another in a long line of globalist-controlled candidates. The last real president we had was Kennedy. Reagan came close. Nixon ended the last ties to the gold standard, thus ushering in a new era of inflation, which continues to rip off the working man to this day. He lied about the Vietnam War. He also presided during the fake moon landings. That was apt. I have no respect for Tricky Dick Nixon.
Ronald Reagan… had the makings of a great president. Sadly, he was shot. Notice that he was shot in the chest and still walked to the limousine. Hillary had to be tossed in hers like a sack of potatoes. I think during the hospital, he was doped up or somehow compromised. He was never the same after that.
George W. Bush… was an idiot. A globalist figurehead installed by his daddy. Cheney was the brains behind that presidency. Now they're all voting for Hillary. What does that tell you? It's time to end the Bush dynasty. It's time to end the Clinton dynasty. We should have a healthy disdain for kings and queens.
Finally, who will win the presidency?
Trump will win in a landslide. Look at the rallies. He outdraws Hillary by 10-to-1. Nobody wants to listen to Hillary cough and sputter her empty platitudes. If Trump doesn't win, it will probably be due to rigging by Hillary and her operatives. If we get clear cut evidence of election rigging to favor Hillary, then it's time for another revolution.

chillin with darren - impulse and models own inspiration kit - count down to the blog awards, it's even closer now!
Hi lovelies! I've been a bit MIA lately and haven't been blogging as regularly, boo! As you can see, the past two weeks have been crazy busy for me. I've spent a lot of time with family and in and out of London for events, interviews and all sorts. So, we have a bit of catching up to do!
First off, I'd been having a bit of a rough time as I wasn't completely happy with work and things, so I spent a lot of time just chilling out with Darren, seeing my Family and going out with Friends, just trying to enjoy and appreciate the little things in life. Whether that be looking through old family photos with my sister Hannah, my Mum and my Nan, going out for a few cocktails with friends or just watching family guy until 1 in the morning with Darren. We all go through tough times in our lives and granted, mine definitely wasn't the worst, but little things had been getting me down but instead of letting it get the better of me I decided to change it! So, fast forward two weeks and two interviews, I've now officially started working for Nails Inc in Oxford Street, London! I'm so, so excited to be there as it's such a fab company. While I love beauty, I wanted a career I could progress in and hopefully this is going to be exactly that! I came to realise that if I wasn't happy with what was going on in my life, moaning about it or worrying constantly wasn't going to change that. I had to get up, brush myself off and do something about it! So that's exactly what I did. Working in London is something I've always wanted to do and I'm so excited to see how this goes, so I'll definitely keep you all updated.
In addition to all the madness, I also went to Company Beauty Week last week, which was amazing. I got to meet lots of lovely bloggers including Perdi, Taliha, Becky, Ellie and Angelica. I didn't get to hang around and chat for nearly as long as I'd have liked to but they were all lovely and beautiful girls and I'd totally recommend checking out all of their blogs! Beauty week was amazing, the staff were so helpful and informative, there were endless amounts of champagne and canapes, a fab photobooth (what blogger in their right mind doesn't love a good photobooth?) and we got a gorgeous goodie bag at the end of the night, incredible! I so wish I could've attended more of the Beauty Week events and would love to know if any of you have done blog posts on them as I'd love to hear all about it.
Congratulation with your new job, I am very envious. Perfect job though, great career progression and a cheeky bit of discount! Lovely photos too.
Great pictures! so nice of them to give you a gift, and congrats on the job!
Congratulations on the new job hun!
Christina | Passion Obsession - Currently hosting a beauty hamper giveaway!
Congrats on the new job! How cute they got you a great welcome present too!

BOSTON UNIVERSITY HAZING HITS THE NEWS ONCE AGAIN (Part One)
by Samuel Goldberg
Unlike Bullying, Massachusetts hazing is actually illegal.
Not that all cases involving hazing are prosecuted. This one will be, though.
Our story hit the media in the wee hours when Boston police began their investigation into a possible hazing incident that occurred at an unsanctioned Boston University fraternity.
The officers responded to a newly-renovated Allston home just after midnight on Monday. The call came from neighbors who said they heard yelling coming from the house. According to one such neighbor, the shouting contained "'Yes sir,' like somebody's giving somebody orders and they have to obey".
Upon arrival, the officers apparently discovered five young men stripped down to their underwear. They "were covered head to toe with all sorts of condiment type substances. All five were shivering and had horrified and fearful looks of their faces. They were all tied together via duct tape wrist to wrist to form a human chain."
Upon cleaning the various sauces off their bodies, the officers saw that all five gentlemen had red welts and markings all over their backs."
The men were asked if they were okay and, according to the officers, one of them "looked right at officer and with tears coming down his face shook his head…indicating no."
It turns out that the building is sort of an undercover fraternity home of sorts; there are no fraternity letters outside it. However, police point out that they found framed photos of members of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity inside. There were also apparently a dozen other college students scattered around the two-story home. Some, officers say, were hiding, or pretending to be sleeping. Further, neighbors say that mainly Boston University students live there.
One such neighbor stated that the incident was not surprising, "…but it's definitely unfortunate. And I guess it's even more unfortunate that I'm not surprised."
The first reaction by Boston University was that the incident was being investigated for possible hazing. The University's spokesperson also indicated that Alpha Epsilon Pi is a national fraternity, but not one recognized by B.U.
Attorney Sam's Take On Hazing
There have been quite a few incidents of hazing in the press of recent years. Further, this is not the first time this year in which B.U. has been at the center of one such incident.
Like bullying, hazing can include various activities, some which are, per se illegal. For now, however, let's look at the legal setting when it comes to hazing in its own right.
Like most Universities, Boston University has its own printed policy about hazing. It states as follows:
Boston University Hazing Policy
Boston University hazing policy will be in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at all times. (See below for the Commonwealth statute on hazing.) Moreover, the University's standards of personal conduct substantially exceed the minimum expectations of civil law and custom. Student organizations and individual students found in violation of Massachusetts hazing laws will be subject to University disciplinary action.
In accordance with Chapter 536, section 19, the Student Activities Office has developed the following procedures:
1. At the time of registration, the president of each student group, team, or organization shall receive a copy of the law and will be required to sign a statement acknowledging that he or she has received such copy of the law, that he or she shall distribute a copy of this law to every member, plebe, pledge, or applicant for membership of the organization, and that the group, team, or organization understands and agrees to comply with the provisions of this law.
2. This statement will be kept in the group, club, or organization's permanent file in the Student Activities Office.
3. The Student Activities Office will make available to each group, team, or organization as many copies of the law as necessary both when the group, team, or organization registers for the year and throughout the year as necessary to ensure that the organization can comply with its responsibilities as outlined in section
The Massachusetts General Laws states as follows in M.G.L. Ch. 269(17):
Section 17 Hazing; organizing or participating; hazing defined Whoever is a principal organizer or participant in the crime of hazing, as defined herein, shall be punished by a fine of not more than three thousand dollars or by imprisonment in a house of correction for not more than one year, or both such fine and imprisonment.
The term "hazing" as used in this section and in sections eighteen and nineteen, shall mean any conduct or method of initiation into any student organization, whether on public or private property, which wilfully or recklessly endangers the physical or mental health of any student or other person. Such conduct shall include whipping, beating, branding, forced calisthenics, exposure to the weather, forced consumption of any food, liquor, beverage, drug or other substance, or any other brutal treatment or forced physical activity which is likely to adversely affect the physical health or safety of any such student or other person, or which subjects such student or other person to extreme mental stress, including extended deprivation of sleep or rest or extended isolation.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section to the contrary, consent shall not be available as a defense to any prosecution under this action.
"Sam, aren't things like whipping, beating forcing food and so on already illegal in and of themselves?"
One would think. However, one would be wrong.
"What? What about the laws against assault and battery for example?"
There is a key difference between the laws prohibiting such behaviors and the hazing law.
Do you know what that key difference is? What action will Boston University and/or the Commonwealth take in this case? Does the involved fraternity face any other repercussions?
For the answers to these, and maybe even a few other, questions, check out the net Boston Criminal Lawyer Blog

The requested program for the building, being a combination of a primary school, an after school care centre, a nursery and sports facilities for the school and its neighbourhood is diverse, extensive, demands a great deal of outside space and is rather big for the rather small site.
In order to realise the complexity of programs on the site, XDGA assembles the entire built program into one compact volume of 40 by 31 m and stacks all the various outdoor areas in one open room.
The two volumes together cover the maximum envelope possible on the site; one half indoors, one half outdoors. The unity of the two volumes is created by a shared façade structure, a galvanised steel frame.
On the side of the exterior room, the supporting frame is covered with a metal mesh with some cut outs, and will be overgrown with vegetation. On the side of the interior volume, the façades of the building are designed as a patchwork of open and closed areas that generate views to the square, the street, the quay or the park.

I thank you to see my wallpaper.
Good JOB! so pretty Wallpaper.
Nice work! I think it would have been really nice to play more with the lighting on her face so that you can really see that the fire is casting a glow on her, just to make her really blend with her surrounding. If you want to see a visual of what I mean, Deto15's recent wallpaper is an example. I also wish it were widescreen, but that's just me. In any case, nice job!
