...variants[edit] The difficulty in defining the rules of Go has led to the creation of many subtly different rulesets. They vary in areas like scoring method, ko, suicide, handicap placement, and how neutral points are dealt with at the end. These differences are usually small enough to maintain the character and strategy of the game, and are typically not considered variants. Different rulesets are explained in Rules of Go. In some of the examples below, the effects of rule differences on actual play are minor, but the tactical consequences are substantial. Tibetan Go[edit] The starting position for Tibetan Go Tibetan Go is played on a 17×17 board, and starts with six stones (called Bo) from each color placed on the third line as shown. White makes the first move.[1] There is a unique ko rule: a stone may not be played at an intersection where the opponent has just removed a stone. This ko rule is so different from other major rulesets that it alone significantly changes the character of the game. For instance, snapbacks must be delayed by at least one move, allowing an opponent the chance to create life. Finally, a player who occupies or surrounds all four corner points (the 1-1 points) receives a bonus of 40 points, and if he controls the center point also, he receives a further bonus of 10 points. Sunjang Baduk[edit] Main article: Sunjang baduk The starting position for Sunjang Baduk Sunjang baduk is a different form of Go (baduk) that evolved in Korea. It has been played...

...start of adolescence. Adolescence is considered to be the transitional stage from childhood to adulthood. During this period, teens begin to undergo a series of psychological and physiological changes which usually occurs between the ages of twelve through nineteen. This can be a time of both discovery and confusion. During this stage, issues regarding self-identity and independence will surface. Many adolescents are faced with difficult choices involving drugs, alcohol, schoolwork, sexuality, their social life and relationship with their parents. Peer groups, romantic interests and external appearance tend to increase in importance for some time during a teen's journey toward adulthood. Some of the issues an adolescent may go through are evident in the novel “Go Ask Alice” by Anonymous. It provides us with insight into the mind of a teen that is struggling with internal and external turmoil which leads her astray into a path of drug abuse. A fifteen year old girl who remains unnamed (title of the novel refers to her as Alice) starts a diary in which she records her experiences and life events as an adolescent. Alice is a gifted writer who writes in an observant and sensitive style. She confides in her diary revealing to it her deepest thoughts. Like many other adolescents, she worries about her appearance, relationships, school, and social life. Alice often feels as if she is on the outside looking in. She sees herself as an outsider in her school and family. This is attributed...

...Go ask Alice September 29 Joel and I are officially a couple! Did you hear me? OFFICCIALY! I have never felt so good in my entire life, not even on my best trips! Last night he said so many fantastic, unbelievable things about me, and then he asked me, if I wanted to get together! I am out of my mind with joy, I can’t even put it into words. I have to get ready for school, but I will tell you everything about it later. I have to use extra time on my looks today. Oh I wonder, what I am going to wear. P.S. Fawn invited me to another party, I can’t wait! - Seems like every thing is turning out great! – Talk to you soon. October 7 When I came home from school today, mom was acting really strange. She was just sitting on a chair with a cup of tea staring out of the window. I tried to talk to her, but it seemed like, she couldn’t hear me. She just kept staring out of the window. Oh, I hope nothing is wrong with her, she is probably just heading towards her menopause and is feeling a little depressed. I will just ask dad later, I’m sure it’s nothing. Later So I asked dad about mom, and what I was sure of, only would be a short talk, ended out to be very long, with a lot of tears. Mom is apparently not menopauseing, as I hoped. Dad said, that she has been hocked up with other things, so she hasn’t had time to grieve over Gramp and Gramps. And even though dad tried to wrap it in and assure me, that it had nothing to do with me, I know that “other things” is equal me. I feel...

...Response Paper: Never Let Me Go The screening of the book Never Let Me Go by Ishiguro Kazuo was directed by Mark Romanek, not a very famous director but definitely a hard-working one. The movie includes such actors as Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan, and Andrew Garfield who act as the main protagonists of the performance. The movie starts with the final scene of Tommy’s “completion”. Then the viewer is presented with the retrospection of events that leads to this final scene. It is quite different than in the book. The writer tells the story from the very beginning and does not show the ending to the readers. While the movie is created in such a way that in the first scene the viewer knows how it ends, it does not mean that it is not interesting. In contrary it is a very well composed and striking film. From the beginning of the movie the audience is presented with the everyday life of a group of young people: Tommy, Kathy, and Ruth. They seem to be the average persons while in fact they are a part of a big project. They are simply genetically modified clones. They cannot have children, they have to be healthy, and from the very beginning of their lives they are prepared for donations. They give their organs and after one, two or sometimes three surgeries they just complete. Some of these people believe that they can get a deferral. In fact, there is no such thing as deferral and they are meant to die from the very beginning of their lives. Their struggle to postpone the...

There’s craziness everywhere you visit, but when you put yourself into a show where you need to have an open mind, to understand, fun and get the full experience, you must go in with an open mind. My first metal show took place on a cool breeze evening traffic on the sunset strip was like any other day. I found myself and others in the car rushing to get to the venue. The sun was setting in the horizon, and the evening was getting fill with excitement. The summer breeze became still and the sky was a pale blue, lots of cars where passing through the sunset boulevard. I had gone to the liquor store nearby to purchase a small bottle of whiskey, to ease the nerves a little. We had stop by one of the buildings to sit down and talk and drink. When I got to the line to wait to enter the whisky a-go-go, as the band was passing by, they videotape us so that we could be on their media network. Alex introduced me to his friends and was told by him that we all stay within the group and look after one another. My attire consisted of high top tennis shoes, band shirts, and skinny black jeans, lose curly hair, the longer the better. Everyone is either wearing the same attire; some have leather jackets, boots, or flannels shirts wrap around the waist. I personally felt self-conscious of how I looked and if I was going to be accepted by the crowd. All you have to do is know the history...

...Analyze the motivational factors that promote cheating in NASCAR I believe that the largest motivational factor of any NASCAR team owner, crew member, or driver is that of winning. Each team represents not only a number on the side of a car but the entire organization, the sponsors, the driver, the crew chief, their crew and their families. NASCAR is big into the family values and your team is your family; you never let your family down. To win a race at any track is to bring honor to your team, revenue to your sponsors, and notoriety to your name. To win for oneself may not be enough motivation to cause a driver to cheat; however, most often times the driver is not the one that sets up the car, which is the crew and crew chief’s duty. Drivers can aide in the facilitation of cheating by requesting that their car be tweaked to their liking, how this is done however is the crew’s job. To win for a cause or for a team gives more pressure to win because there are other people counting on your success. Other motivational factors that promote cheating within NASCAR are that everyone knows everyone cheats. Each and every team in the NASCAR garage has tried and tested the very vague rules of the governing body, sometimes they get caught and others they don’t. To the teams it is worth a chance to try and get away with a tweak that may not be entirely within the rule book and get that little bit of an edge than to finish last on race day. The more lenient the attitude is towards...

...FAIRNESS IS GOOD MANAGEMENT Fairness is just good management. We already know that if you want to be a good manager you have to be fair to all. But what does that mean? And how can you be fair more often to more people? What Does Fairness Mean? It is part of the quirkiness of the English language that fair means according to the relative merits of each or consistent with rules and logic. However, it also means moderately good or satisfactory. So a fair manager can mean either one who treats others fairly or one who is only moderately good as a manager. Our goal is the first meaning. Why Is Fairness Good Management? When asked, a group of almost 2200 people reported fairness as the most important trait of a boss for who whom they would want to work. When you treat your employees fairly they spend less time worrying about who else is getting an unfair share. They don't spend a lot of time looking for ways to increase their own share. They spend less time looking for another job. And they spend more time working for you and getting more done. When you treat others fairly two things happen. Your own employees notice and respect you for it. It reinforces their belief that you are treating them fairly and will continue to do so. Second, the other people who you treat fairly will respond in kind. You will get better cooperation from them. That makes your job and the job of your employees easier too. How To Be A Fair Manager A good manager is one who treats everyone fairly...

...The analysis of the story: From W.S. by L.P. Hartley Leslie Poles Hartley (1895—1972), the son of a solicitor, was educated at Harrow and Balliol College, Oxford and for more than twenty years from 1932 was a fiction reviewer for such periodicals as the Spectator, Sketch, Observer and Time and Tide. He published his first book, a collection of short stories entitled "Night Fears" in 1924. His novel "Eustace and Hilda" (1947) was recognized immediately as a major contribution to English fiction; "The Go-Between" (1953) and "The Hireling" (1957) were later made into internationally successful films. In 1967 he published "The Novelist's Responsibility", a collection of critical essays. L.P. Hartley was a highly skilled narrator and all his tales are admirably told. "W.S." comes from "The Complete Short Stories of L.P. Hartley" published posthumously in 1973. At the beginning of the story the author introduces the main character of it who is Walter Streeter. The first postcard he receives is from Forfar and is anonymous. Usually he answers to the letters but this one didn’t have any address so Walter was relieved that he doesn’t need to answer to it. The photograph of Forfar was uninteresting and he tore it up. About ten days later, Walter receives another postcard, but this time it was from Berwick –on –Tweed. After reading the second letter Walter began to wonder if the sender was a woman or a man. After some time he dismissed the stirrings of curiosity that...

Starting with the nerves you may feel “The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs,” explaining how nervous and anxious feelings can arise from pain. She says “The stiff Heart questions,” which can be relatable to how deep, sincere pain can make your heart feel stiff, and sad, and all the many questions you may ask yourself after losing someone close to you. She says “This is the Hour of Lead – Remembered, if outlived, As a freezing persons, recollect the Snow-“ touching base with the fact that no matter what, you will always remember this feeling of pain, like a person stuck in the snow will always remember the snow. Next she says “First – chill- then Stupor- then the letting go” , describing, basically, the whole process of losing someone you love. First you feel cold, stiff hearted, hurt, and next you go into a slump of stupor or sadness, and then there comes the part where you have to let go of that person and come to peace with your...

...Case Study 1 1. How should Jennifer go about making her decision? Jennifer should evaluate each proposal and use criteria that will fairly indicate what project would be best to invest additional money in to for future growth and savings. She can use project selection and develop a set of criteria against which the project will be evaluated, list assumptions that will be used as the basis of the project, gather data and information, and evaluate each project against the determined criteria. 2. What kind of additional data or information should she collect? I believe that she should request information or data regarding the scope, schedule, cost, and customer satisfaction expectations of the projects and their goals. I have explained each below for better understanding. Scope – All the work that must be done to produce all the project deliverables that meet the customer requirements and acceptance criteria and accomplish the project objective. Schedule – A timetable for a project indicating when activities are planned or need to be started and finished. Cost – The overall cost it will require to complete the project in its entirety. Customer Satisfaction – After the project has been completed the customer feels as if they have received the services expected and the project was completed to their standards and expectations. However I know these can be considered restraints and that should be a heavily weighed factor in the decision making in the end. 3. What exactly should...
