Former Conservative MP Nick Boles resigning from the party in a speech to other MPs.
On Monday, Conservative MP Nick Boles became the 21st but instead of joining his fellow former Conservatives in the group, Mr Boles will sit as an "Independent Progressive Conservative".
So who are the "other" Independent MPs and what do they stand for?
Conservative MP Nick Boles resigned from the party after his efforts to find a solution to the Brexit deadlock were rejected by MPs.

The MP for Birkenhead resigned from Labour in August last year over the party's handling of antisemitism claims.
Mr Field also accused party of having a "culture of intolerance, nastiness and intimidation".

The MP for Sheffield Hallam resigned from the Labour party in July 2018 after previously being suspended from the party over alleged homophobic and misogynist comments.
The MP had been reinstated to the party but Mr O'Mara stepped down saying he had not been "listened to or been given a fair investigation" by Labour.
In an open letter to his constituents, Mr O'Mara apologised for any offence his online comments from 2002 and 2004 had caused, but added: "I didn't commit any crimes, yet I have been made unfairly to feel like a criminal.
"Nobody should be made to feel ashamed for mistakes they make when they are young."
The MP for Barrow and Furness was suspended from the Labour party in April 2018 after an allegation of sexual harassment.

Lady Hermon resigned from the UUP saying she could not support its electoral alliance with the Conservatives.
She is the only sitting MP for Northern Ireland who is not a member of the Democratic Unionist Party.


The primary question that we asked in this project is whether regional patterns of doubling of DOC observed in NE North America and Europe are reflected globally in lakes? Our approach to addressing this question was to identify existing datasets for geographic gaps and temporal coverage. If these data were available, we intended to evaluate geographic patterns in time series. We also planned to convert other metrics (e.g. color) to DOC if needed since many regions simply do not seem to have much DOC data. We also planned to evaluate biotic consequences for changes in UV transparency. For example, natural solar radiation is highly effective as a disinfectant, killing parasites, pathogens, and invasive species in surface waters. We thus planned to look at loss of disinfection potential stimulated by increases in DOC.
UPDATE: An extensive search for DOC data in additional geographic regions of the world has led to only a very few data sets in regions where the data have not already been published. Thus for the time being this project has come to an end. If others in GLEON know of additional sources of long-term DOC data in regions outside of the USA and Europe, please notify the leaders of this working group.


'Open on earth since 1971. 120+ restaurants, nine states, countless cuisines.' Welcome to the world of Lettuce Entertain You, an independent, family-owned restaurant group based in Chicago that offers everything from burger joints to Michelin-starred restaurants. Long established on the US airport scene, the company now has its sights set globally as Executive Partner Kevin Reynolds told Oliver Thring.
Summer House is already serving its ahi tuna tostadas, hand-rolled sushi, tacos and wood-grilled fish at Chicago O'Hare International Airport since 2016, in partnership with HMSHost. The site in Terminal 2 is now doing "close to US$5 million in annual revenue," says Reynolds.
Foundations planted: Lettuce Entertain You's Summer House Santa Monica dining concept could be set for a major airport roll-out across Europe and Asia.
Now, Reynolds says his goal is "to introduce this brand to the world of airports".
A second Summer House is already being designed for Charlotte Douglas International in North Carolina. Last November, Lettuce won a third tender for a "full-service Summer House" in an American airport the company will not yet reveal. Two further bids for space are ongoing.
It may indeed prove to be the most successful concept yet developed by the Chicago company, which was founded as a burger joint in 1971. Today it operates about 130 restaurants across nine American cities, including nine in airports and with at least six others confirmed for launch in the channel this year.
Everything is coming up rosé: The Summer House concept at Chicago O'Hare International Airport Terminal 2 has been operating since 2016.
As well as the Summer House in O'Hare Terminal 2, at Terminal 5 in the same airport the company has a Big Bowl Chinese Express, Hub 51 (a "social dining spot serving up contemporary American eats"), RJ Grunts which "exudes the funky lifestyle of the 1970s" and Mediterranean concept Urban Olive. All of these locations are managed by Areas.
With Paradies Lagardère, both in Denver and Washington DC, Lettuce operates a Big Bowl Chinese and a Magic Pan Crepe Stand.
The company has further just won a bid with SSP to open five new concepts at Chicago Midway: Big City Chicken, a quick-service fried chicken brand; Tallboy Taco; Big Bowl Chinese; RJ Grunts and M Burger, whose name, says Reynolds, "came from our French chef who pronounced 'hamburger' as 'amburger'".
Reynolds is speaking to The Moodie Davitt Report from Chicago, a city gripped by the 'polar vortex' that saw temperatures plunge last week to near record-breaking lows of -31C (-23F).
Varied menu: The food options available at Summer House include ahi tuna tostadas, hand-rolled sushi, tacos and wood-grilled fish.
Lettuce nimbly responded to the freeze by offering free delivery to its customers ordering through the GrubHub app – and Reynolds says the company saw an 80% increase in delivery sales as a result.
Such use of technology will work for Lettuce in the travel retail sphere, too. Reynolds says that "several hundred thousand" people have downloaded the company's free app, LettuceEats.
This returns to customers a generous US$7-US$8 per US$100 they spend on food and drink in the company's restaurants.
California spirit: Summer House at Chicago O'Hare International Airport won top honours in the Best Airport Bar/Restaurant Atmosphere category at the 2018 USA Today 10Best Readers' Choice Travel Awards.
Before joining Lettuce in 2011 to grow its airport operations, Reynolds spent two years working for Areas USA, the Spain-based food & beverage group. Now that he works with Lettuce Entertain You, he says, that connection to the industry makes him a "desirable partner".
His time at Areas also gave him important insight into how on-street dining brands often need to adapt their product for the airport environment.
Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises is an independent, family-owned restaurant group based in Chicago that owns, manages and licenses more than 130 establishments. The company was founded in 1971.
As a result, he says, the biggest problem facing the airport F&B sector is not expansion, which Reynolds sees as having almost limitless potential.
Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises Executive Partner Kevin Reynolds sees airports as "a true growth area for restaurants in the US".
Instead, finding and retaining the right calibre of employees is the most important challenge.
Overall, Reynolds is bullish about the prospects for F&B in airports – and believes that putting the customer first will be the key for companies to thrive in that sphere.
It's a philosophy that he aims to bring to life at Summer House, as Reynolds plots the international expansion of this brand within a masterbrand that has customer entertainment at its literal and strategic heart.
Expansion plans: Lettuce has other concepts in airports in the USA, and will open a Tallboy Taco and other concepts in partnership with SSP at Chicago Midway International Airport.


Damini Ogulu better known as Burna Boy is getting all the attention he deserves at the moment. This time his eccentric style of music got the attention of British GQ magazine.
In a new article on British GQ magazine Burna Boy got a spotlight for his music along other musicians like Pendulum and Donae'o. The piece reflected on Burna Boy's music which he prefers to call an "'afrofusion", how it all started and how the "Heaven's Gate" crooner is steadily selling his music to the British market.
Earlier in the year, Burna Boy dropped an album "Outside" to many positive reviews. "Outside" featured British music stars like Lily Allen, J Hus, and Mabel.
Burna Boy spoke about how he created the "Outside" album.
Outside displays his signature technique of amalgamating genres and combining sounds, a skill he has mastered over years of production. "It came organically. I never went in the studio with a plan. I knew the spirits would take over and it would be pure vibes," says Ogulu.

There is a disconnect between the learning of the emptyhand form and push hands. Its rare to see practitioners use proper techniques in push hands.
What you tend to see are people explaining how to use the techniques in a non-resisting scenario but when it comes to push hands you inevitably do not see the techniques being applied so easily, if at all. Instead, when the pressure piles up the common response is to do shoving.
These are just a few ideas that we can use to improve our push hands so that we can Master Tai Chi Today.

Scared..
It's so scary to like someone, you know wholeheartedly. It's scary to know there is a person who fits your standards, and to realize your standards weren't false. It's scary to think where this could all go. It's scary to think if this is going to end within a day. It's scary to try.
After day 1, and after everything that has happened. It's so weird to meet someone like me but also different. I'm not sure how I feel about him being so similar to me because it's so strange to say I feel like I like him because he reminds me of me. Isn't that a little to narcissistic.
I spent four days with this guy and I don't know how I feel. But somehow I broke down by the second day and told this guy, the first ever male in my life who wasn't family my deepest darkest secret, that has made me the person I am today. The cynical, distrusting, bitch that I am. One part of me is so glad for the person I have become, but the other always questions what I could have been. After I broke down, so did he. And we both agreed because of the fact we put so much trust and faith into other which we normally wouldn't have done with someone we barely knew, there had to have been something there. Sunday morning, we were dating, I guess. haha. Neither of us wanted to admit it. But we're a couple, and I still cringe thinking about it.
But I still for sure know that I'm scared, and probably always will be scared.

The Funny Reason Jason Momoa Preferred Doing Justice League Over His Aquaman Movie
Dec. 5. 2018 5:49 PM
Jason Momoa is about to headline what will likely end up being one of the biggest movies of 2018 (with a box office that will carry over into 2019). That's a huge deal and Momoa seemed ready to rise to the challenge when he talked to CinemaBlend at a recent event. However, he did reveal one teeny little secret, noting he had more fun filming Justice League than doing the heavy lifting on Aquaman. He told us:
I really loved being with all of my friends, you know? We had a great time doing Justice League. Zack's amazing. And then it's, it was phenomenal having your own story. I mean ultimately, I probably had a better, more fun personally doing Justice League. Because I'm not in everything! So, life is probably a little bit better, because someone else is working. But, you know, it's all your show. It's your movie, and that's super important, too.
Filming an ensemble superhero movie is a lot different than filming your own superhero movie, and Jason Momoa playfully told CinemaBlend's Sean O'Connell that he just liked hanging out with his pals and filming some Justice League scenes, maybe even a wee bit more than he liked the additional work that was a part of starring in his own solo movie. That's the mark of a man who enjoys his leisure time.
Having said this, Jason Momoa has been open about his experiences with getting cast as Aquaman and the subsequent work he has put in to play the character, so even if he's joking around about his DC work, he definitely hasn't taken it lightly. It's also true that Justice League did a lot of the work to get audiences comfortable and excited about what's next with the character, which means Aquaman should have some fun filling in the gaps regarding what we know about the character, and Momoa certainly isn't sad about appearing in James Wan's upcoming movie.
Yet, with Justice League 2 still a giant question mark on Warner Bros.' schedule, if Aquaman ends up endearing itself to the fanbase worldwide, Jason Momoa might be doing more heavy lifting sooner than he might think. Aquaman 2 really rolls easily off the tongue.
Aquaman officially opens in theaters on December 18, if you weren't able to get into an early screening. Be sure to check out what movies will be competing with Arthur Curry and co. with our full movies schedule and see what else DC has in the works on the big screen right now with our full guide.
Of course a lot of how the DC movie schedule plays out over the next few years will depend on the box office the new movie is able to pull in. We've heard Aquaman could make upwards of $100 million on opening weekend domestically. We also know that early screenings of the movie sold out to the point that more screenings were added as part of an Amazon Prime deal.
For now, you can take a look at Sean's interview with Jason Momoa, below.

Black Pelican Oceanfront Restaurant: Located directly across from the beach at Mile Post 4 in Kitty Hawk! Black Pelican originally served as historic Lifesaving Station # 6 which was constructed in 1874. Station #6 and its crew served to provide aid for boats and their crews that were stranded along the oceanfront. The building also served as an active weather bureau. The Wright Brothers used information garnered by the weather bureau to plan their experimental flights. In 1903, after their successful First Flight, the Wright Brothers sent the telegraph announcement from Station # 6.
Black Pelican serves lunch and dinner daily. In addition to our menu, we serve delicious lunch and dinner specials. Fresh seafood, steaks, vegetarian dishes, sandwiches and wood oven pizzas are some of the items offered on our menu. The Black Pelican also has a menu designed just for kids. We have comfortable dining rooms that will accommodate dinner for two or 22. Lunch and dinner are served at our full-service bar, along with some local color.

SIXTH COLUMN: Rice: U.S. Wants to Give Palestinians Aid???????
The United States hopes to find a way to increase humanitarian donations to the Palestinians following Hamas' election victory, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday. "We are looking at ways to even increase our humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people during this period of time," Rice said.
Rice was not specific. But her comments suggested that the United States intends to replace money it once gave directly to the current moderate and secular Palestinian government with grants for charity work or other projects that are independent of the new government. [How is this metaphysically possible??????] U.S. officials have nearly finished an extensive review of aid to the Palestinians that was intended to ensure that future aid does not flow to Hamas.
Hamas, which refuses to renounce violence and has claimed responsibility for dozens of suicide bombings against Israel, is listed as a terrorist organization by both the United States and the European Union.
U.S. diplomats are concerned both about the effect an aid cut would have on a poor and underemployed population, and about the perception among Muslims that the U.S. is cutting aid as punishment for selection of leaders it does not like.
The Palestinian Authority is effectively broke, with a monthly deficit in the tens of millions of dollars. In 2005, the first year the authority was not headed by Yasser Arafat, overseas donors contributed about $1 billion of the authority's approximately $1.9 billion. U.S. direct aid is a small part of that — $70 million last year. Separately, the U.S. spent $225 million for humanitarian projects through the U.S. Agency for International Development last year, and gave $88 million for refugee assistance.
Rice said the United States will go on promoting democracy in the Middle East, the wider Muslim world and elsewhere, even when it has unintended consequences. Rice said the demonstrations prove her point about the value of democracy. "What that shows is that Indonesia [Islamic state] is a vibrant democracy and people can protest and people can speak their minds," Rice said.
Does this woman grasp reality? She has become Colin Powell in drag. It is hard to believe that Dr. Rice, who is both brilliant and highly educated, is such a conservative nitwit.
Her comments ought to unnerve anyone who thinks of himself or herself as "conservative" or "right wing." (If that someone also thinks he or she is "Republican" as well, he or she may be beyond salvage).
The Right in America is fully as dangerous as the Left, and both Right and Left are converging on the same point in space and time. That point I can jazz up with a name like "Point Doom." That is the point where America falls apart inside and becomes ripe for the takeover from the outside. The thinking of Dr. Rice and those who think like her, the neocons, the "compassionate conservatives," and most of the "right wing," have become no more than the other side of the same coin, with the liberals-Left on one face, and the conservatives-Right on the other.
The Left want to "help the poor and downtrodden." The Right want to "promote democracy, give humanitarian assistance, and be concerned with "the perception among Muslims that the U.S. is cutting aid as punishment for selection of leaders it does not like." This is just sloppy-seconds liberalism.
These Hamas people are near collapse, as was the Lenin Soviet regime until we stepped in to ensure its survival, as was the Khomeini regime until we ensured its survival, and as we are doing now to Islamia which could not survive without our largess. Let them collapse. Make "Palestinians" turn on Hamasians and kill them all. Don't provide a single dollar to keep Hamas living their lies.
The Muslim world needs the "perception" that we will kick them into oblivion if they harm anyone or anything of ours. They need the "perception" that we will not tolerate regimes like Hamas and Iran, among others. They need the "perception" they do not get another dollar or any materiel until they do things compatible with the life, livelihood, and principles of the Constitution of the USA. Where do they get these "perceptions"? From our proud, assertive, selfish assertion of our principles of America.
Punish them for selecting leaders we don't like? How does our not giving charity constitute "punishment." But if that is what Dr. Rice, et al, want to call reason and reality, then so be it: punishment it is.
If the overwhelming response from the Right about the Dubai Ports World caper has not turned anyone off on the Right, then this kind of self-destructive blather from Dr. Rice, who is speaking for THE Compassionate Conservative himself, ought to produce a sense of profound and impending danger--the kind the Left gives us.
The entire Bush administration and most of the Right have become "unintended consequences."
It is the worst type folly to prop them up with ANY kind of aid--humanitarian or otherwise.
At times this Google system gets buggy, and last night was one of those times. I could not post my response to your comment, so I sent it to your AOW mail (hope that got through--but let me know if it did not).
It is clear that Bush and Condi are getting some of the worse advice, but what about common sense? Do they have any at all? Rice drives me to distraction, and there are people who want her for President which is absolutely insane.
I have finally completed the journey: I can no longer support Rice at present or for any future job that bears on our national future. Were she to run, I would consider her as dangerous as Hillary because she doesn't know and doesn't know she doesn't know but thinks she knows. What she thinks she knows is on a par with President Bush who has proven himself to be a national disgrace.
Rice and Bush prove, as if we needed more proof, that a person is as good only as his ideas. Bush and Rice are ideologues who put their particular ideology above "common sense." Both reflect the famous words of Pogo: "We have met the enemy and he is us."
As of now, 2008 looks abysmal.

Mass digital connectivity has significantly disrupted the business investment market. Online crowdfunding enables company owners to trade equity for funds to invest in growth. Who would have thought in 2000 that it would be possible for business owners to raise seven-figure sums from people they didn't know, or even have as a customer? The vital stepping stone was the sometimes massive sums raised on reward crowdfunding platforms. Except early backers are unable to invest in the companies themselves, only acquire their often innovative products.
Kickstarter is the world's largest reward crowdfunding platform. It was launched on April 28 2009 in New York as an alternative way to raise funding for performance arts projects and productions. Its model was to encouraging low value donations from a large group of people rather than a lot of money from a few individuals.
It quickly expanded to cover many other hobby, craft and product categories, and has raised almost $3.05bn through hosting 124,935 successful projects (the figures are updated daily by Kickstarter).
It has an "all or nothing" policy meaning projects that fail to reach their target don't receive any funding and the backers who made pledges don't pay anything. Successful projects pay a 5% commission plus up to 3% transaction charges.
Indiegogo actually launched first in January 2008 in San Francisco, again as an alternative way to raise funds for arts projects. Indiegogo also quickly grew to host projects in many different categories.
A significant difference is that Indiegogo allows projects to receive the money that's pledged even if they fail to reach target. When this happens their regular 5% commission rises to 9%, plus there are always transaction fees of approximately 3% on every project.
Since 1 January 2014, Indiegogo has hosted slightly more projects than Kickstarter: 231,900 vs 218,896 (as measured by crowdfundingcenter.com on May 17 2017). However, Kickstarter has hosted significantly more that reached their target – 68,984 vs 26,272.
Based on these figures Kickstarter has an average success rate of 31.5% and Indiegogo achieves 11.3%.
These two broad scale platforms dominate the US reward crowdfunding market and to have a point of difference the next largest platforms focus on specialist business sectors.
PledgeMusic is third placed behind these two giants, as measured by website traffic. It launched in August 2009, aiming to do for the music industry what Indiegogo and Kickstarter were doing at the time for other arts genres. It is used by all types of people from hopeful wannabes to established performers with an existing fanbase.
It operates like Kickstarter on an "all or nothing" basis for people raising money to complete a project like record an album, and on a "keep what you raise" basis when people use it as a sales channel for any finished content that can be downloaded. It charges a flat and all-inclusive 15% commission on "sales" and fundraising projects that hit or exceed target. This looks expensive though they claim a success rate of over 90% for the average 100 projects they carry per month.
The platform operates globally by accepting payments through credit cards and Paypal.
Seed&Spark is an industry specific crowdfunding platform for the tv and film industry and is based in Los Angeles. It launched in December 2012 and within an overall aim to build an independent film community it provides filmmakers with a reward-based crowdfunding facility. They claim a 75% success rate.
Projects must reach a minimum 80% of target to keep the money pledged by backers. Then upon completion of a film, any project that also gathered over 500 backers is automatically eligible for distribution through Seed&Spark and their partners including all major cable and digital platforms such as iTunes, Comcast, Verizon, Netflix, and Hulu.
Seed&Spark charges a 5% fee on successful projects, though offers project backers the opportunity to add this to their pledge. Many choose to do this and on average the crowdfunding projects themselves pay just 1.9% of funds raised to the platform.
Barnraiser is a platform for artisan food producers, small farmers and exponents of sustainable, healthier living. It encourages its community of over 30,000 like-minded people to crowdsource advice and contacts from each other, and also provides a rewards crowdfunding facility they claim has a 65% success rate.
It launched in 2014 and 187 projects have been successful. The largest amount raised was $93,190.
Successful projects are charged a 5% fee based on the amount raised plus payment processing fees of 3-5%. If funding isn't successful there are no fees.
Title III of the JOBS Act which came in to effect in May 2016 extended online equity crowdfunding opportunities to Americans earning under $200,000 per year, though included limits on the amounts that could be invested. New platforms were launched to provide a full online equity crowdfunding facility to this wider market, whereas the previous ones serving higher net worth individuals ("accredited investors") required transactions to be made offline.
The Wefunder platform tracks progress of this new retail equity crowdfunding sector based on mandatory Form CU filings on the SEC's EDGAR database. Since May 16 2016 to May 23 2017, just over $35.8m has been raised through Regulation Crowdfunding offerings.
Wefunder is the early market leader and it launched in 2012. The minimum investment size is $100, and Wefunder has created internal Investor Clubs in order that part-time investors in its network can access the wisdom and leadership of more experienced and professional investors and combine their investments with them on equal terms.
Wefunder members have provided 55% of all online equity crowdfunding investments through Regulation Crowdfunding in the first 12 months of online equity investment trading being open to non-accredited investors.
Investments made through StartEngine, which is based in LA and launched in June 2015, represent nearly 22% of the Regulation Crowdfunding total raised so far, according to SEC figures. StartEngine also raised $17m from 6,600 investors under Regulation A+ for its client Elio Motors.
In 2016 Indiegogo ventured into equity crowdfunding in partnership with Microventures to launch a platform called First Democracy VC. To date it has accounted for 9% of the sector's total $35.5m.
We have included NextSeed as it is included in the crowdfunding stats created by Wefunder, above, though it offers investors opportunities to provide funding on a loan basis with guaranteed levels of interest, not equity. It is based in Houston and its investor network has invested $2.8m in debt crowdfunding, which Wefunder shows above as 8% so far of the combined Regulation Crowdfunding. NextSeed's network of investors can put up as little as $100 and NextSeed's projects have ranged from as low as $25,000, typically for personal leisure/entertainment/service providers such as bars, restaurants and hairdressers. This form of accessing an investment budget can leave company owners with full equity in their business.
FlashFunders (where Reg CF investments can start at $50 and they also handle Reg D raises over $1m and Reg A+ raises up to $50m).
We'd like to hear if you have you any experience of directly investing online through any of these equity crowdfunding platforms, do you have any comments or insights you'd like to share?
Access to a report giving details of the number of US startups and scaleup using crowdfunding through Regulation A+ and Regulation CF with the amounts raised is here.


Comfortable accommodation overlooking the Narus valley in Kidepo Valley N.P.
Apoka Safari Lodge is an excellent option for travellers looking for an off-the-beaten-track safari in a wildlife-rich part of Uganda - highly recommended by YZ.
The closest international airport to Apoka is Entebbe. From Kampala, the journey by road is rather time consuming, at 12 hours. However, both scheduled and charter flights are also available, on average taking a couple of hours – and the airstrip is just a few minutes from the lodge. The site occupies a lofty position, on top of a kopje above the Narus valley.
The communal lodge is set up at the highest point, guaranteeing great views across the Kidepo plains. It is made out of timber, stone, and thatch. Inside, there is an open-plan lounge, dining area, and bar, featuring comfy sofas and armchairs, coffee tables, patterned rugs, and a long table where everyone is invited to eat together. At a short distance from the lodge, there is the property's swimming pool – carved out of a large rock, the pool is deep, cool, and perfect for relaxing in between activities!
Guest accommodation at Apoka consists of ten cottages, all located a little lower on the kopje than the communal lodge yet offering fabulous vistas of the valley, the plains, or the surrounding mountains. Six cottages contain a double bed and four have twin beds. Extra beds may be added for children aged 5–12 years. In common with the lodge, each cottage is constructed from timber, stone, and thatch, blending pleasantly into the landscape. Interior features include mosquito nets, bedside tables and lighting, snug rugs, ample storage space, and en-suite facilities comprising flush toilet, washbasins, and shower with hot and cold running water. Outside, there is a private veranda, and a bathtub hewn into the rocks! You can enjoy soaking in the tub while watching the local wildlife.
Apoka offers a fine assortment of activities – game drives, game walks, birding, and community visits. Kidepo's Narus valley is famous for the amount of wildlife it attracts throughout the year, while the sprawling savanna around camp is popular with plenty of herbivores – and their predators! Lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, wild dog, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, antelopes… there really is a lot to see here. Bat-eared fox are in residence too, as are black-backed and side-striped jackals, and even a few primate species.
Keen birders can look out for ostrich, kori bustard, red-and-yellow barbet, little bee-eater, and a few Kidepo highlights such as pygmy falcon, white-eyed kestrel, golden pipit, and rose-ringed parakeet. And culture fans will appreciate taking a trip to a nearby Karamojong village, to find out about the way of life of the local people.

As a Member of Parliament representing around 40 schools – varying from very small rural primaries to our larger secondaries – I always enjoy engaging with pupils of all ages and hearing how they see the world in which I work. Earlier this week I was able to join Wells Hall Primary School, Sudbury, as they attended the Education Centre in Parliament.
This is a relatively recent construction within the Palace of Westminster, providing an excellent facility for pupils to learn more about our political system – and the importance of democratic values - but also to hold mock debates and generally understand more about our ancient legislature. Before taking some excellent questions from visiting Wells Hall pupils, I watched them conduct a debate in their own mini House of Commons, with proper 'bobbing' - i.e., rising in their seat to indicate to the Speaker their wish to speak (the Speaker in question also being a pupil, performing the task with authoritative aplomb).
Given my passion for ensuring that we do everything possible to support local schools, it was very disappointing to hear that one teaching union has voted to strike in the coming weeks. Following the massive disruption to children's learning in the pandemic, this is far from welcome – especially when Unions called for £2bn of further funding at the Autumn Statement to help with funding pressures, including pay, which was delivered for this year and the next. Yet still pupils may lose precious days of education, whilst parents face significant disruption to their working lives.
I hope that schools are able to do everything possible to stay open as far as possible, not least to support working parents. I will certainly be pushing for this when discussing the matter with fellow Ministers, and I am hoping that we can keep detrimental impact to children's learning to a minimum.
But for all the bad news arising from industrial action, we have a very good news on the education front, when it comes to local provision. The significant rebuild now confirmed for Ormiston Sudbury Academy is likely to represent a major multi-million pound investment in our town, from central Government – bearing in mind that rebuilds such as this are relatively rare. We must make the most of it.
As a parent with two children at Thomas Gainsborough School in Great Cornard, I'm well aware of how new school buildings can boost standards and drive educational improvement. Of course, Ormiston is making progress and there is much to be positive about – despite its relatively old buildings. Nevertheless, in all my visits there I've been clear that a new building had to be a priority, a point shared very strongly by the Principal and Academy leaders, and that's why I took the time to meet with Education Ministers and officials to push for Ormiston's inclusion in rebuild funding schemes.
Whilst the ultimate result will be subject to planning and a feasibility study, likely to report in early summer, it was great to hear from Department for Education officials last week that investment in Ormiston is likely to involve a 'significant rebuild', with a new building of the highest eco standards, in turn cutting energy costs and emissions.
In writing about industrial action, I should underline that I entirely appreciate how challenging the cost of living is – I've been writing about it in this column since last spring. It's precisely because the Government understands how challenging these times have been that we've spent billions directly supporting families and businesses with energy prices, on a scale not unlike our pandemic intervention.
To underline this point, a typical household will receive around £1300 in energy support this winter. This comprises the Energy Price Guarantee, putting a government funded cap on domestic energy bills, and which the independent OBR estimates will be worth £900 for the typical household this winter – plus, direct cost of living payments of £400 for every household.
In addition, there are further payments for the most vulnerable groups, e.g., pensioners and those on benefits. Of particular interest in South Suffolk, the additional £200 payment to those on heating oil will be paid in February.
As a Treasury Minister I've been keenly aware of how fine a line we've had to tread, on the one hand being financially prudent to fight inflation, whilst on the other hand ensuring increased funding for schools and the NHS, plus enormous levels of energy support. It's a difficult balance, but with local investment in our children's future, this is good news in challenging times.

My Hero Academia is an excellent anime, featuring a group of classmates going to the number 1 high school for aspiring super heroes. An ensemble of interesting characters makes it seem like a living, breathing world.
In this setting, the majority of people are born with "quirks", or super powers. Some are minor mutations, and others are big, flashy and powerful. Because of this change, being a professional super hero is a valid career, with a salary and everything.
Young kids with quirks that want to be superheroes apply to U.A, the number one high school for super heroes. Aside from their normal classes, they also receive training on using and developing their quirks, and becoming stellar super heroes.
I've been playing a lot of the Masks Role Playing Game lately, and the show captures a lot of the important elements from the game. Big emotions, dramatic scenes, and developing powers are all important in Masks, and the show has them in spades.
I've listed some of the main characters from My Hero Academia, and assigned them a corresponding playbook in Masks. If you want to play a character from My Hero Academia, this might help you get the right feel!
Izuku Midoriya- Midoriya is the main character of the show, and fits within a few possible playbooks. The Legacy is the immediate fit, as Midoriya literally has All Might's legacy. The Doomed could also work, if you consider All Might's impending death and the overall villain of the story as the possible 'Doom'. The Protégé models Midoriya's leadership and analytical skills, and keeps All Might directly connected to the playbook.
Katsuki Bakugo. He's The Bull, absolutely. Bakugo's personality aligns perfectly with the Bull; you even get to pick a rival!
Ochako Uraraka- The Nova is the closest fit, especially since it has gravity control. Her quirk is more support focused, so you can pick moves and abilities that allow you to support others and manipulate the environment.
Tenya Iida- The Legacy. His family are superheroes, and he is following in their footsteps. Give him a super speed power and you're good to go.
Shoto Todoroki- The Nova. His powers are big, flashy, and easy to lose control. Elemental control is also one of the standard options with the Nova as well.
Yuga Aoyama- The Star. Rather, he wants to be The Star.
Tsuyu Asui- This one is tough. Asui is a strong, stable influence. She's almost handled better as an NPC, as she seems unlikely to get into arguments or fights like other characters. She could be a modified Janus or The Joined.
Momo Yaoyorozu- Her family is wealthy, so the Protégé would be a good fit. Because all of the kids in the anime have powers, The Beacon will almost never be used. However, because she creates mundane objects, an argument for the Beacon can be made.
Mezo Shoji- The Transformed. His body is obviously weird, and his associated powers align with the Transformed.
Eijiro Kirishima- He's a good candidate for the Bull. He tries to overcome obstacles with brute force.
Mina Ashido- The Outsider! I know she's not really an alien, but she looks just like the default picture. She even references how alien she looks!
Toru Hagakure- Because her only quirk is invisibility, the closest I can think of is the Beacon.
Kyoka Jiro- Another hard one, possibly handled better as a NPC or support. Perhaps the Janus?
Minoru Mineta- I hate him. The Delinquent? I'm not going to spend more time on this creep.
Denki Kaminari- The Nova, because his powers are elemental in nature and have a very bad drawback.
Fumikage Tokoyami- I want to go with the Doomed, but I'm not sure what his 'Doom' would be. Overall, the Doomed is the gloomiest of the playbooks, and he seems like the gloomiest person! But, somehow in a cool way.
Mashirao Ojiro- The Beacon might be a good fit here. His quirk is a tail, but it's not a power in and of itself, so the Beacon could still work.
Hanta Sero- Yikes, this one is hard. His tape is definitely a power, but could be seen as a type of equipment, so the Beacon might apply. Additionally, the Janus has some similar powers.
Koji Koda- We don't know much about Koda, so it's hard to pick a playbook for him.
Rikido Sato- The Bull would fit his style, especially with the declining brain function.
Masks is a great game, and one of the playbooks, the Beacon, has one of the best design features for a character that I have ever seen.
For those that don't know, the Beacon is the normal person on the team. They don't have superpowers. They might have gadgets and skills, but they're just a normal person trying to do good in a team of super powered friends.
The Beacon has a feature called Drives. The Beacon has a list of tasks or goals to accomplish. Because Masks is a teenage superhero game, these include things like "get a new hero name", "punch someone you probably shouldn't", and "pull off a ridiculous stunt".
Each session, the Beacon chooses four drives to work on. If they accomplish it, they get to mark it off and get a reward. Once a drive has been marked off, it's permanently done. If you mark off all four in a session, you pick four more.
The beauty of this feature is that drives give you things to strive for. They're almost a kind of role playing prompt. Regardless of whatever mission or story you're participating in, drives are the motivations for your character.
With drives, you are never caught at a time where you don't know what to do. If there is nothing else happening in the game, you can push to complete one of your drives.
The limit of four drives at a time is a great decision. It gives focus to your drives and goals. Having a list of 20 drives that you could accomplish would be overwhelming and feel chaotic. Instead, the act of picking four means that you are aware of what you want to do, and can do it with a focused approach.
The last beauty of drives is specific to Masks. In the game, if you are able to complete all of the drives, you have a choice to make. You either pick a new playbook and use that going forward, retire from the superhero life, or become a paragon of the city.
This highlights what Drives are to a Beacon. They're a measure of accomplishment. A Beacon is defined by having drives that they want to achieve. Once they're all done, they have nothing else they need to do in the game. If they want to keep playing with their team, they have to pick a new playbook, because they're no longer driven by their drives; they're a different type of person. If they retire, it's because they've accomplished everything they want to from the superhero lifestyle. If they want to keep going down the same path, then they become a paragon of the city, an NPC.
Drives are an amazing feature that should be included in as many games as possible. I love this mechanic, and will be looking for ways to implement it into other systems.
What is Masks? An awesome game.
Have you played a Masks game? If so, what do you think about the Beacon's drives? Let me know!
I have been running a game of Masks for the last couple of months, and I love the system. I'll talk about the system itself at some point later, but I just had a very cool event occur in our game that I wanted to share.
Nexus (The Transformed). Fused with an alien silicon based life-form, and now looks like an android. Technomancy powers.
Firefly (The Outsider). Princess of a bee-like alien planet, partying on earth while avoiding her royal duties. Psychic powers.
Jishaku (The Reformed). Daughter of the Iron Emperor, Japan's equivalent of Magneto. Turned away from her father and is trying to be a hero. Magnetic powers.
Friction (The Janus). Physics geek who wants to prove that she's not 'boring'. Control of friction.
At the end of the previous session, Friction received a call from her younger brother, Jack. A villain named Teegan Queen spoke instead, stating that she had kidnapped Friction's brother and wanted her to come to a location, alone.
Friction went to confront Teegan Queen, stealthily infiltrating a surprisingly empty mansion. Upon finding Teegan, she began to fight but locked eyes with a large mirror in the hallway. Her reflection was wearing a different costume. Friction suddenly felt ill, as the world seemed to wobble.
When her senses returned, she found herself face to face with her reflection outside the mirror, who seemed to hold a special hatred for Friction. The two of them began to fight, and Friction was able to remove the doppelganger's mask, revealing herself but aged a few years.
As the fight progressed, the doppelganger revealed herself as Friction from the future. In her future, Jack died because she wasn't strong enough to save him. Now that she's older and stronger, she sees this as an opportunity to save Jack and live in a new timeline.
Then Friction's player surprised me.
Friction acknowledged that her future-self was stronger, and better suited to save Jack. She surrendered to herself.
Future Friction, full of contempt for her past self, threw young Friction through the mirror and shattered it. Now, future Friction will live in the past and change the timeline.
This was an incredible moment, and has opened up so many interesting possibilities. For now, we are going to have Friction's player control her future self, without letting her teammates know about the change.
Even better, one of our players, Firefly, wasn't able to make the session. She has NO IDEA about what happened, and we're going to keep it that way. We aren't going to tell her about the scene, and see if she is able to notice anything different.
What is Masks? A way to throw as much drama and teen angst at a game as possible. It's the best.
This is sure to be an exciting game, and I can't wait to find out what happens next!

If you have been involved in any kind of accident resulting in a burn injury and have a pending settlement case, our law professionals can work to get you the lawsuit loan cash advance you deserve.
Burn accidents are a significant problem and a common occurrence in the United States. According to the Burn Survivor Resource Center, 450,000 people received treatment for injuries in 2011 and 3,500 people died from burns (3,000 of those were from residential fires, the other 500 were the result of electrical, thermal, or chemical burns). Burn injuries rank second under car accidents as the leading cause of accidental death in the United States.
Chemical burns: caused by contact with chemicals in liquid, solid, or gas form.
First-degree burns are burns to the first layer of skin. Second-degree burns are burns to both the first and second layer of skin. Third-degree burns are burns to all layers of the skin and tissue under the skin. Fourth-degree burns are burns that extend to the muscle.
Are you a victim of a burn injury due to the negligence of another person or a product that malfunctioned? You could be entitled to compensation under personal injury law.

Settlement funding for a burn injury is available in the form of a lawsuit loan to cover these unexpected medical expenses.

Get the pre-settlement cash advance lawsuit loan you need while your lawyer works to get you the cash you deserve.
Here at Interstate Lawsuit Funding, we understand the difficulty of going through a settlement case.

The Coastland Collection is made by balancing a thick top layer of solid sawn French Oak over a base of a plywood substrate. By using a solid sawn back layer to balance the product, this makes the finished product one of the most stable engineered hardwood products on the market. The increased stability allows this plank to go up to a 7" width while sustaining the true milled width with environmental changes. A smooth face wire-brushing enhances the grain of each plank. Coastland Collection floors are all finished with UV-Lacquer for a strengthened wear resistance with simple maintenance techniques.
Coastland Ombre is made with a smooth face, beveled on all sides and wire-brushed. Each individual board we provide has a unique appearance with rich dark brown color variation going towards darker shades.

I recently threw a Bridal Shower for my cute new Sister-in-Law and knew I wanted something bright and something that reminded me of summer. Orange always reminds me of summer, like orange creamsicles, so I created a palette of orange, white and bright greens. To ground the colors I used a lot of dark wood tones and natural colored twine.
We had a light lunch of cranberry-ginger and turkey sandwiches or avocado and ham sandwiches. We also had orange, strawberry, and spinach salad, a whipped strawberry salad, and watermelon mixed with feta and mint. Dessert was cupcakes, snickerdoodles and assorted brownies. Drinks were water infused with strawberries, oranges and mint as well as a cranberry mock champagne drink.
My husband made the wooden box centerpieces as well as the wood stump cupcake towers. I reserved some bunches of flowers in my color palette from my local grocery store. Ordering through your grocery store and arranging the floral arrangements is a great way to save money! Doing it that way saves me at least $50.00 per centerpiece. Plus, they group together flowers that are have a cohesive feel so you can feel confident they'll look great all together.
The L (for her new last name) and menu backer came from Hobby Lobby and I stained them along with the wooden boxes to all work well together. For Favors each guest left with a small flower pot with poppies, daisies or sunflowers to pick from. A sign near by thanked them for celebrating the Bride and Groom while their love grew.


The entire concept of impressing someone on the first date might seem stressful but it is not impossible. With proper planning and efforts from both sides, first dates can be wonderfully memorable and can also work out to be the foundation of a strong and successful relationship thereafter. While one might ponder over a lot of things collected from here and there, these small tips can be handy in impressing the other half on a first date.
Before we plunge onto a new beginning, we must be very clear on our end. The excitement over meeting someone new might be there but that must not alter our personality. We must relax and think of the positivity of the upcoming day and be well prepared to indulge in a healthy discussion thus having a good time together. We could also think of some probable questions to ask the following day in order to cut any awkward situation. As far as grooming is concerned, we should be neatly dressed and be clean.
It should always be kept in mind that the person who has agreed to come on a date with us, is because of the person who we are. So, there is no point faking our personality to impress them. They already have their reason to be here and any change in the personality might come in as a surprise to them. We would definitely now want anyone to be surprised in an odd way thus falsifying our image, hence it is always advisable that we be our self when on the date.
When planning to meet for the first time, it is a very good idea to plunge into something that makes it memorable forever. Ideally, people choose new exotic places where they can sit and hang out for hours or probably have some good soul food. However, it would be a wonderful idea to venture out onto some exotic adventure sport together in which both the parties are not very well versed.
We should never take the other half to participate into activities that is our niche because they might not be very well versed in it and might feel insulted on the very first day, which would be the last thing we'd ever want. Most importantly, we should always go for something that both the parties will enjoy and something that leaves no embarrassment in either of them.
It is extremely important to be punctual and sensible on the very first day and forever. Like they say," The first impression is the last impression", we would never want our personalities to be ruined on the very first go. We should be thoughtful enough to buy a small gift for the other half as a small gesture of care and this is going to leave positive impression on them. Speaking to them in a polite and soft manner and showing the proper manners are ideal positives for the first date and they always earn thumbs up from the other half resulting in a good foundation to a future relationship.
We must take interest in speaking to our date even if there is something that we might not have liked in them. It is bad manners to make the other half feel unwanted and bored. We must answer all the questions with honesty and take proper interest when they speak. It is advisable to refrain from talking of embarrassing situations and also it is advisable to avoid extreme topics of discussions like religion, politics etc.
When it comes to mobile phones, we must keep the phone silent when we talk to them for the first time. It gets very annoying when the ringtone rings over and over again. The phone might be kept in the vibration mode but the shuddering sound when there's a call can also be irritating. Hence it is advisable to refrain from using the phone during that time and invest as much time as possible in knowing and having fun with each other.
We must always insist to pay the bill even when the other half has planned and arranged for the date. If they refuse, we must offer to "dutch" or pool the bill so as to make them sure that we were not there to gorge on a free meal and we have the capacity to pay for our food. Although it is a generic rule of our society that the man always pays the bills, the youngsters do not abide by this anymore and there have been instances where the woman have been seeing paying for date nights.
We could also come along with a hint of fragrance to induce a sense of power in our personality. And carry a beautiful bouquet of flowers along with us to show our gentleness and care for her. Else we can plan a special surprise by arranging a flowers delivery from any online florist during your meet and surprise her in the middle of the date with a beautiful basket of roses. Saying "Good – Bye" with beautiful flowers is a sign that you really enjoyed her company and you desire for seeing her soon.

Chester will vote budget and articles via Australian ballot this year
BY SHARON HUNTLEY, The Vermont Journal
CHESTER, Vt. – During their Jan. 6 meeting, the Chester Selectboard decided the town budget and articles will be voted on by Australian ballot this year rather than during a traditional town meeting, due to health concerns of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The informational meeting will happen remotely Monday, March 1 at 6 p.m. Voting will be the following day Tuesday, March 2, from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. at the Chester Town Office.
Board Chairman Arne Jonynas made a point of saying it would just be for this year and that he would "hate to see town meeting go away."
The board went through a general fund review and although the numbers aren't finalized yet Jonynas said that overall it was "looking pretty good for the town as far as our tax rate and what our budgets going to look like." He said that it did not see an increase, possibly even a small decrease.
One item discussed at length was the $10,000 that is in the marketing budget this year. Both Town Manager Julie Hance and Jonynas said that they had heard mixed feelings in the community about spending money for marketing; some saying it was only a benefit for businesses on the green.
Hance defended the expense saying that they had already seen "really good results," including big response numbers for their Facebook ads and Google ads, and an increase in calls to Bob Flint at the Springfield Regional Development Corp about starting a business in Chester. She also said that there have been a lot of young families moving to town for their permanent residence as a result of the outreach.
Hance said it helps the whole community and is not just a benefit for the green, though that is Chester's "eye candy."
The board went through the Capital Plan review, which included past and upcoming capital expenses as well as the bond debt repayment plan. Anticipated purchases in 2021 include a truck for the highway department, fund match for sidewalk project, a new cruiser, and town signage. The only bond being proposed this year is for paving.
Chester resident Scott MacDonald updated the board on Chester's Fall Festival, which was in search of new organizers after the Chester Rotary announced they no longer had the manpower to spearhead the town's signature event. MacDonald said that a short couple of days many Chester business people have stepped forward to volunteer. He said he would have more details as they become organized.
Hance reported that town was awarded the historic preservation grant for the remaining outside work needed on the Academy building. She was also pursuing a claim to the insurance company to see if the ceiling repairs inside might be covered, which could potentially save upwards of $26,000.
Hance said the Public Safety Building progress was continuing and running about a week to 10 days behind schedule. Financially, the contingency fund, which has approximately $90,000, has not been needed.
The gravel pit has cleared it last few regulatory hurdles after initially being rejected by the state. Hance said the town should receive their permit for gravel extraction by the spring.
Hance has discussed the possibility of establishing a Civilian Oversight Committee for Police Department complaints with town attorney Jim Carroll. She said Carroll had good ideas and provided some cautions about how it could work. Police Chief Rick Cloud was also involved in the discussion. Hance will present details to the board in February. The revised citizen complaint form and updated trifold are now on the town website.
A Local Government Reimbursement Grant has been received that will cover the entire cost for the sound system, acoustic ceiling panels, and acoustical shades for the windows.
The future of Jeffrey Barn will be on the agenda for Jan. 20. Chester resident Steve Mancuso spoke to the board about assembling a group of volunteers to help shore up the barn. That option, as well as other ideas, will be discussed at the Jan. 20 meeting.
The next Selectboard meeting is Wednesday, Jan. 20 at 6 p.m. via Zoom.

I am fond of keyboard shortcuts and wish I was a keyboard-shortcut-ninja and didn't have to rely on the mouse all the time.
Using keyboard shortcuts boosts productivity and ergonomically a better choice, as the risk of getting a tennis elbow/mouse elbow diminish.

The last two options are only viable for WCF to WCF implementations where you either have control of both service and client or the service provider supplies a .Net assembly. Because both of them require the service contract aka the .Net interface marked with ServiceContractAttribute and OperationContractAttribute.
Anybody that has tried the "Add Service" reference in Visual Studio knows it is broken. First of all it generates an enormous amount of files, even for the simplest service contract.
Secondly it sometimes corrupts the state of the generated files, so you have to remove the reference and then add it again.. Just try to google it and you will find many frustrated developers. Do not use it!
The SvcUtil.exe is better and has a vast number of options. This is the preferred option for non .Net services or where the service contract interface is not available.
Now you have full control of the WCF client implementation.

Two years ago I wrote an article about the shortcut features in Visual Studio 2005. So I thought, why not write one for Visual Studio 2008.
I am a big fan of shortcuts – it increases productivity and ergonomically better than using the mouse all the time.
There is a large arsenal of shortcuts not only for Visual Studio, but also for the add-ins like ReSharper. Most developer forgets the basic ones in Windows besides the cut and paste shortcuts. But they do provide a huge productivity boost. Take a look at this list – how many of these shortcuts do you know and use?
