On the morning of the first day of school after the National Day, the last two classes were physical education classes. When she chose the class, Lin Xian was encouraged by Shi Man to choose table tennis together. Although she had no foundation, Shi Man convinced her with conviction that table tennis is the most time and energy-saving, Lin Xian believed in her evil in the heat of the moment, but regretted it later and it was too late.
In this class, the teacher had forewarned that they would be preparing to complete their first physical fitness test in college. The test was completed in a total of two weeks. The standing long jump and the 800 meter run were the first tests of this week.
The standing long jump was relatively easy and everyone passed it with ease. After a small break, the next 800 meters was a headache for many people.
Shi Man was no exception. The small face scrunched up into a ball, she thought, after running this 800 meters she was afraid to lose half her life. She looked sideways at Lin Xian, who was standing calmly, poked her and asked, "Are you a fast runner?"
Lin Xian blinked her big eyes, smiled to reveal white teeth, and answered her somewhat cheekily, "It's okay, but I suspect that I should be faster than you."
The beautiful peach blossom eyes of Shi Man narrowed slightly and gave her a glare, deceitful! She moved her arms and legs, but knew better than to admit, "Then I'll run after you, if I keep up with you, I should be able to pass."
Lin Xian hesitated, frankly advising her, "I may run faster and you may have a harder time following me at the back. It's best to go at your own pace, then follow the big group and don't fall too far behind, and you'll probably be fine overall."
Shi Man took a look at Lin Xian's small body in suspicion, the disbelief in her eyes showed undoubtedly… so powerful?
Lin Xian saw her doubt, hooked the corner of her lips, and confidently said, "You will know later."
Five minutes later, the 800-meter test began. Shi Man, Lin Xian, and a group of ten other classmates started running at the same time. With the command of "start", Lin Xian rushed out like an arrow released from the string without hesitation.
After one lap, Shi Man was already panting and out of breath. She was distracted by looking at Lin Xian, who was half a lap ahead of all her classmates and was already sprinting to the finish line, and finally believed that Lin Xian's words were true….
Her legs are installed with a motor, right?
When the time came for Shi Man to reach the end of the line, her half dead body almost fell to the ground, and Lin Xian, who had slightly calmed down her panting, was able to come over to support Shi Man and even mock her.
She did not let Shi Man sit down, but pulled Shi Man and continued to drag her heavy legs slowly along the playground, while walking with her and ridiculed her, "You are too weak, you should exercise more often."
Shi Man's strength to walk was gone, but still defiantly refuted her sporadically, "You… you just…. run…. faster than the average person…. a little faster… Zhijin…. Zhijin also runs very fast…. you… you compare to her and say again…."
Last school year, Xia Zhijin represented the School of Finance and Economics in the 800-meter sports event. She took second place, and Shi Man complimented her, but it was not an exaggerated boast. However, just now, the physical education teacher also sent an invitation to Lin Xian, hoping that Lin Xian could represent the freshmen in the school sports event. Who ran faster between her and Xia Zhijin, is in fact difficult to say. It's just that Shi Man doesn't know about it yet.
Lin Xian smiled and did not bother with her, instead, she glanced sideways at Shi Man, who had a proud face when talking about Xia Zhijin, and the corner of her lips rose in an arc that deepened. Yo, it is after the National Day, reconciled?
When the two of them had rested and started ping pong practice, Lin Xian was ridiculed by Shi Man for hitting the ball everywhere, and boasted about how good Xia Zhijin's ball skills were. When eight out of ten sentences were about Xia Zhijin, Lin Xian finally couldn't help but pry, "You and Senior sister made up?"
Shi Man served a ball carelessly and asked Lin Xian, "When did we not get along?"
Because Lin Xian was distracted, once again, she watched the ping pong ball lightly touched on the table and then bounced up, with a beautiful arc, flew past her eyes, and the outstretched paddle fell short…
As she ran away to pick up the ball, she muttered in her heart, how dare she pull her every day to eat together, leave school together, and not say a word to Xia Zhijin who was sitting next to her? What she saw was a lie? Cut, tough mouth!
She once again awkwardly served the ball, the bright eyes turned for a moment, calculated in her mind, and changed her words, asking Shi Man, "What did you do for National Day? Have you been traveling?"
Shi Man easily backhanded back to the ball, casually answered, "Zhi Jin and I went back home together to see her grandmother and sister, where I stayed for four days." Speaking of this, she was obviously in a better mood, her charming and bright face softened and glowed, "Zhijin took me over to the fields on her bike, watching the wind blow the wheat fields, and took me to the mountains to overlook the sleeping village. Zhijin's hands are particularly skillful, she casually picked off the dogstail grass on the side of the mountain road and could weave it into a lively little grasshopper…."
Lin Xian didn't get the ball again, simply put the racket directly on the table, gave up struggling, and listened carefully to Shi Man.
This sis-con, again, ah. But she also caught another point, puzzling asked Shi Man, "You still have a hometown, are you not a local?"
Shi Man paused for a moment, looked deeply at Lin Xian, suddenly smiled lightly, and invited Lin Xian, "Let's go sit next to the side for a while and take a break." After saying that, she went straight to a corner where no one occupied the bench.
Lin Xian did not have any doubts, picked up the ball and also grabbed the racket, and followed.
The two of them sat leisurely on the bench and Shi Man rubbed the handle of the racket back and forth with both hands. After rubbing it for a short while, she finally looked at Lin Xian sideways and said, "Lin Xian, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I trust you and know that you're not the kind of person who likes to spread rumors around with a big mouth, so I'll be straight with you."
Lin Xian looked back at her and reflexively said, "En?"
Shi Man withdrew her eyes, lowered her head to look at the red ping pong paddle in front of her, and lightly began to tell the story, "Zhijin is really not my sister, but for a while, I really did treat her as my sister and called her my sister."
She said, "Did you know that there is a reality show called Metamorphosis?"
Lin Xian nodded, there was a time in her early years, her parents liked watching and teased her while watching. If you are so disobedient, shouldn't you also go to a poor family to experience life before you know how to be grateful and cherish the life you have now? Lin Xian always disregarded and hummed twice and ignored her parents.
Shi Man continued, "It's kind of similar to what that show did, right? Before I was 12 years old, I was very rebellious and did not like to study, and shortly after I entered junior high school, I was ordered to drop out of school because I was pulling gangs and leading senior classmates in inter-school fights."
Lin Xian has always been a good student. Since her childhood, she has been ordered by her parents and teachers to stay away from such things as the past from the mouth of Shi Man, which adults feel are bad students. She couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, the current Shi Man, really, she can't tell at all.
Shi Man smiled lightly, not caring about Lin Xian's surprise, "I do not have a father and I don't know who the father is." When she said this, her tone was calm, as if she no longer cared at all. "My maternal grandfather's family is quite rich, right? My mother inherited my grandfather's family fortune, and her work always seems to be very busy. So I follow the nanny all year round and I may have seen her a few times during the New Year holidays. In the beginning, I was young and timid and the nanny abused me and threatened me because my mom didn't come back often enough to know what was going on at home, but I didn't dare say anything. Later, I grew up a bit and went to an advanced grade school, because my pocket money was a lot, I quickly made a group of friends in the upper grades and junior high school who were alcoholic and started to get tough. The nanny couldn't control me anymore, so she complained to my mom that I was learning to be bad outside, and my mom actually believed the nanny instead of me, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I got, so I really gave her a bad look. Anyway, apart from giving me money, she doesn't care about me and can't control me anymore. "
"After being withdrawn from school, she and I were finally able to meet every day, and she began to try to discipline me personally, but it didn't work. Instead, she quarreled every day and was angry with me, and it was as if she only began to really know that I had grown to the point where she was completely unable to discipline me." Perhaps because of the flashbacks to those unpleasant years, Shi Man's beautiful and delicate face was covered with a layer of gloom Lin Xian had not seen on her face before. "So, I don't know who's advice she listened to, tricked me into the most remote and poor mountainous area in our city, and threw me to a family that she gave money for me to live there for two months."
"Zhijin, is the daughter of that family." She raised her eyes, looked at Lin Xian, and faintly spilled the truth.
Lin Xian couldn't help but open her eyes wide and froze for a moment in disbelief.
Xia Zhijin's surrounding temperament and style, even the way she was dressed, oh, and driving a BMW to and from school with Shi Man! It's not like being born in a poor family. Xia Zhijin is now the office manager in the student council, the student council people are speculating that Xia Zhijin may be a low-key rich young lady…
Shi Man's eyes became distant, as if in the memory of seeing the past time again, "house is particularly difficult, but the whole family is very simple and reasonable. After I arrived at her home, they took the best things in the house to receive me, although, at that time, I could not see it at all, and could not accept it. Zhijin's father died when she was seven years old. There is an elderly grandmother above the family and a younger sister who is five years younger than Zhijin. The family relies only on her mother to work all year round to earn money to support them. When I first arrived at her house, I upset her house and vented all the grievances against my mother on them, but they did not hold any grudges at all. They have always been as gentle and tolerant towards me as ever. Once I called my mother to ask her to pick me up to go back to no avail. After gambling to walk home on my own, I fell on the rugged mountain road and rolled into a deep ditch. Zhijin jumped regardless of danger. She came down, pushed me up, and then waited for rescue in the pit. Do you think she's stupid? She was not afraid that I, a bad child, would just walk away and leave her in the pit there. The first time I saw her cry was when I threw the bamboo basket that she and her grandmother had stayed up all night to make into a fire in the earthen stove. From the first time I saw her, she had always been exceptionally calm and collected, no matter how much I tossed her around and made a fuss, she acted like nothing was wrong. Until that time, she squatted by the stove, crying so sadly, choking on the ground breathless, but silent, I realized that she didn't really care. Her sister said that those bamboo baskets would have been sold so that she could buy medicine for her grandmother. For the first time, I felt as if I had done something wrong."
As if in self-ridicule, Shi Man gently laughed, "I really didn't know that being rich was already considered good and happy."
"Later, that night they began to stay up knitting again, I slept, but in the end, it was difficult to rest inside, and finally got up and reluctantly kicked their bamboo strips, asking them 'Hey, how do you knit this'. From then on, I began to slowly integrate into their family and fell in love with the simple but tender life in their home. Zhijin told me, I envy you, your life is your own. Don't waste it because of anger. I remembered her words."
Lin Xian chewed on these words, imagining Xia Zhijin's state of mind when she said these words, and suddenly also felt some sadness. Shi Man's life was her own, she envied it, so, isn't Xia Zhijin's life, her own? What is the fate she set for herself?
"Then I went home, but I kept in touch with her. When I left, I made a pact with her to study hard and, later, to go to the same high school, where we would meet again. I asked my mother to finance the tuition and living expenses of Zhijin and her sister, using my serious study and good performance as a bargaining chip. However, later, two years after our reunion in our senior year, Zhijin's mother died of kidney failure. At that time, I said to Zhijin, from then on, my family is your family, my mother is your mother. After she went to college, I asked my mother to invite Zhijin to live in our house because my mother was not at home all the time and I lived alone in a big empty house."
"I always claimed Zhijin as my sister because I didn't want Zhijin to live under the name of a so-called poor student, although she never hid anything when someone asked about her family history. But I just don't want everyone to think of her life experience the first time they know Zhijin and cast a pitying glance at her before praising her as a golden phoenix from a ravine. She is such a proud person, she does not need the pity of others. I hope that when everyone sees her, they will know, they will remember, only, how excellent Xia Zhijin is, how powerful, how outstanding, how worthy she is of others' admiration."
Lin Xian's heart could no longer be described as shock.
When Shi Man said this, her look was so serious and firm. Every time she mentioned Xia Zhijin's name, her eyes, as if there was starlight in them twinkled so bright and so gentle. Lin Xian found for the first time that the girl in front of her was not as petulant and arrogant as she had always thought, but that she also had such a down-to-earth and reliable side.
She was silent for a few seconds before she said emotionally, "Manman, you must like her a lot." She thought that only those who really like a person and treat the other person as a close friend, will they be so compassionate and considerate for the other person and consider the other person in this way.
Shi Man's bright eyebrows were filled with tenderness. The curvature of her lips, slowly deepen, and gave low long sigh, "Yes…. I like her very much…."
She suddenly raised her eyes, leaned close to Lin Xian's ear, whispered with a smile to Lin Xia, and said, "I tell you a secret that no one knows."
Her voice was soft, with a little bit of a seductive affection, "I like her a lot, but not the kind of friends and sisters, but the kind of lovers."
Lin Xian reflexively nodded gently, so, I know ah….
Half a second later, she looked back.
Eh? Not right! Wait!
Lin Xian's brain instantly shut down for a moment. Shi Man had just! Just! Said it! She just said it! What?!
What do you mean it's like a lover!!
The author has something to say:
Hahaha, the token of love came together later, Lin Xian joked wishfully. So far, Xiao Yuqing has only liked Lin Xian as the younger generation who got along.
Thank you Steven for supporting this novel!!

I kinda felt that Xian would need to see another lesbian first before understanding her feelings, thx to Manman I think we're really close to her knowing what her recent emotions towards Yuqing are.
Hahaha I fucking knew it bro, I smelled that shit from a mile away Shi Man really is a gold master kind of haha, she just kinda gave me that feeling you know, and I knew it was something along the lines of them taking the sister in, it's understandable she fell for her now I just wonder if their relationship will work out, you know how poor people are, very inclined to poor people things like having tons of children and being ignorant, I feel the grandmother may start going bonkers and sister girl herself won't understand it.
Maybe? Hopefully though cuz Shi Man seems to depend on her sister a lot.
This Shi Man has some MC big dick energy herself though lol, I want a story from her POV.

Community voices frustration as Minneapolis riverfront development project moves forward
As plans forward to redevelop a mile-long stretch of river-front property in North Minneapolis, the community pushes for more input.
"One of the things that's been missing and the stumbling block here is engaging the community," said La Shella Sims.
Sims has lived in North Minneapolis for nearly 50 years.
She's excited about the prospect of the development of the Upper Harbor Terminal.

The 48-acre site draft concept plan includes a community performing arts center, which would be operated by First Avenue. It also includes a park, hotel, office space, housing, river walk, and an innovation hub for entrepreneurship and youth engagement.
"I think it's a plus, the development itself," she said. "Now is the time, now is North Minneapolis' time."
She joined a packed room of people at the Minneapolis Park Board for a project update on Tuesday night. The community also had the opportunity to ask questions.
It's the second public meeting this week where frustrations surfaced.
"This is just a concept plan so it's still going to be very general with a lot of room for community input as we move forward," said Ann Calvert, the principal project coordinator for the city of Minneapolis. "A lot of the engagement we're having now might inform that next phase of work."
She told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the City Council is expected to vote on whether to move forward with the plan on Feb. 1. The Park Board also has to make a decision on the proposal.
If it's approved, project leaders start work on the more detailed coordinated plan. Calvert said they initially hoped to have that developed by October.
"The community has expressed very strongly they would like even more engagement and to do so we may need to slow down the process," said Calvert.
She said they have made changes to the plan since it was unveiled in August, including adding park space and more affordable housing.
"I'm hoping it will be a development that will benefit the community but also be a place people from outside of the community will want to come and appreciate North Minneapolis, which is a community that has a lot of strengths," said Calvert.
She is also considering creating a community advisory committee.
Mississippi Mushrooms Founder Ian Silver-Ramp hopes to be part of the redevelopment.
"If the amphitheater happens, it's going to inherently bring more traffic to the site for these big events so that would be a great way to have local entrepreneurs have a market," he said. "It's just important they're aware of all of the assets on site and make the best use of what's already here."
He currently leases warehouse space at the site from the city. He said he's been encouraged by the involvement of urban gardening non-profit Project Sweetie Pie.
"I'm nervous but I'm optimistic," he said. "I'm optimistic about the potential of the site."

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA — Acclaimed Native American artist Retha Walden Gambaro's spiritually inspired sculptures that bring tribal traditions and lore to life in stone and bronze are featured in The Potomack Company's February 28th auction.
An early champion of the National Museum of the American Indian, Gambaro was president of the Amerindian Circle at the Smithsonian Institution that launched funding for the museum at the Kennedy Center's "Night of the First Americans" gala in 1982 under the patronage of President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan.
The Potomack Company will present a Gallery Talk on Retha Gambaro by Dr. Letitia Chambers on Saturday, February 25, at 11:00 a.m. The talk is open to the public; please RSVP to info@potomackco.com. Dr. Chambers is a former President and CEO of the Heard Museum in Phoenix, where she curated a major exhibition of Gambaro's sculpture, favorably reviewed in the New York Times (February 3, 2012.) Dr. Chambers is writing a book on Gambaro to be published in 2018. She served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations General Assembly in 1996.
Classically trained and exhibited at institutions including the Heard, Gilcrease, National Museum of American History and Kennedy Center, Gambaro's collection at The Potomack Company (www.potomackcompany.com) spans her career, melding traditional and contemporary elements. Retha Walden Gambaro (1917-2013) was born in Indian Territory, Oklahoma, to a mother of Creek descent. Her own works and those of other Native Americans that filled her studio in Stafford, Virginia, represent Gambaro's passion for heritage and nature as well as her desire to elevate and support fellow Native American artists. Almost 80 of her sculptures will be offered at auction, along with more than 170 lots of Native American art and artifacts from her personal collection.
"I am most influenced by artists whose works speak of some spiritual experience – works which show the inspiration from which they come," wrote Gambaro. "May the Shadow of the Great Spirit fall upon the work of my hands reminding all of the continuity of life." A fallen leaf that reminded her of the fleeting nature of life inspired the contemplative sculpture Acceptance, part of a series devoted to attitudes of prayer and the universal expression of human emotion.
Gambaro also sculpted busts, on commission, of famous Americans – including President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rev. Jesse Jackson – copies of which will be offered for sale at Potomack. The auction company will recreate Gambaro's studio at its Old Town Alexandria gallery to showcase her works and personal collection of Native American art and artifacts, her studio equipment and works of her husband, noted photographer Stephen A. Gambaro.
The Potomack Company is a fine art and antique auction house in Alexandria, Virginia. Additional information is at 703-684-4550 and at www.potomackcompany.com.


Gables Republic Square and Hotel ZaZa are planned for West Fourth, between Lavaca and Guadalupe.
A planned Downtown hotel and residential tower gained initial City Council approval Feb. 14 after a last-minute agreement was reached between the developer and residents of a neighboring condo. But Council delayed a final vote on the zoning change until Feb. 28 to allow some Council members time to digest the complicated case and examine whether the project's benefits to the community represent a fair exchange for the upzoning to allow additional height.
Gables Residential plans to build a residential tower and a luxury hotel on West Fourth, between Lavaca and Guadalupe. The project, Gables Republic Square and Hotel ZaZa, will include 216 multifamily units and a 160-room boutique hotel. Hotel ZaZa is a small Texas chain with locations in Dallas and Houston. Residents of the nearby Plaza Lofts at Fifth and Guadalupe had opposed the location of the development's six-level parking garage directly south of their building. But after a few weeks of haggling between attorneys, Gables agreed to alter the design of the parking structure to diminish its impact on the neighbors. In a statement announcing the agreement, Gables said the project will create 350 construction jobs, 212 permanent jobs, and generate more than $3.5 million annually in taxes.
On Thursday, Mayor Pro Tem Sheryl Cole moved to approve the requested rezoning on all three readings, but Council Members Laura Morrison, Bill Spelman, and Kathie Tovo wanted further review of the project, including a deeper review of community benefits the development would offer in exchange for the additional height. Morrison's friendly amendment to do just that passed unanimously, although Mayor Lee Leffingwell noted his irritation with Tovo for raising the issue of affordable housing when the agenda item only called for an up-or-down vote on the rezoning.

Campaign: Food & Drink - Turning Leaf stands out in style stakes
October 08, 2010 by Cathy Bussey
Campaign: Designers in Residence
Client: Turning Leaf
PR team: Wcommunications
Timescale: February-August 2010
Budget: Less than £50,000
Turning Leaf wine has been a sub-brand of E&J Gallo for ten years but with only 15 per cent awareness, it was on the verge of being delisted by a major supermarket. The decision was made to launch Turning Leaf as a standalone, premium brand and create a campaign focusing on fashion-conscious women aged 25 to 45.
- To raise awareness of the Turning Leaf brand
- To increase sales of the wine
- To protect listings in supermarkets and secure further listings across the UK.
STRATEGY AND PLAN
Research showed that while Turning Leaf's target consumers enjoy quality wine, they do not feel engaged in the broader wine category.
The PR team, along with creative agency The Assembly, created 'Designers in Residence' to help the brand become more visible in the world of personal style. The idea was to bring together inspiring people from the world of fashion, style and design and 'install' them in the winery, creating partnerships where the designers would spend time with the winemakers learning about the product. They would then help create new products and fresh packaging, inspired by the taste of Turning Leaf wine.
A collaboration was set up with fashion designers Basso & Brooke, who are famed for their prints and digital printing techniques and have dressed Katy Perry and Michelle Obama. The Turning Leaf collection for spring and summer was launched at their fashion show in February with a range of limited edition Turning Leaf bottles in a print designed for the brand.
Off the back of this, a limited-edition interiors range was produced, incorporating wine tables, a drinks cabinet, printed lampshades and an 'alfresco' kit. These were printed with Basso & Brooke's wine-inspired design.
The PR team launched a three-month free pop-up installation space in The Shop at Bluebird on the King's Road. The interiors items were showcased there from June to August and bloggers and journalists were invited to a launch party where Turning Leaf wine was served.
Regionally, late-night shopping events were held in fashion boutiques in cities around the country, with umbrellas designed by Basso & Brooke given away. The umbrellas were also used in a partnership with Sainsbury's.
MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION
In total 102 pieces of press coverage were generated. Highlights included pieces in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, the Financial Times, the London Evening Standard, Grazia and OK. The campaign also created buzz across fashion blogs and on Twitter.
Awareness of the Turning Leaf brand has increased by 60 per cent and two new listings have been secured in supermarkets including Sainsbury's. The wine is now listed in 255 more stores in the UK than it was at the beginning of the year. Further partnerships have been secured, taking the project up to summer 2011.
SECOND OPINION - Helen Westgate, Founder, Westgate Communications
In the noisy marketplace of 2010, this campaign is testament to the challenges all brands face in trying to create the right 'stand out'. Launches that just focus on product benefits without recall to lateral creativity will not make the impact most clients are after.
By creating the Designers in Residence platform, the agency not only raised awareness of the brand, but also injected Turning Leaf with a distinctive personality to appeal directly to target customers. Canny associations like this are key for brands like Turning Leaf, particularly those trying to create traction and which don't benefit from affectionate heritages like Heinz or Marmite.
The pop-up installation at Bluebird is particularly clever and cost-effective, creating a media 'happening' with the brand at the centre, and bringing the worlds of onand offline PR together. Digital activity could have been extended by generating Twitter or video content from the events or getting fans to interact by submitting their own designs.
I also liked the regional roll-out; often we forget the importance of local media to consumers outside the M25 corridor. This would have generated good reach without breaking the bank.
There are many more fashion avenues for the brand to explore so its new personality on the supermarket shelf can be maintained. There will be challenges, though, as all brand comms will need to maintain the exclusive fashion feel; umbrellas available at Sainsbury's may lose their 'limited edition' allure.

Q: Error on installing crispy python library with wheels in python:3.10.5-alpine docker image Ahoi
I tried to create an docker image from a Docker file of my djanog application. In the dockerfile i first use a builder to install the libraries from the requirements.txt file with wheel. When installing the crispy library it raises a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'silx'. The silx library is also in the requirements.txt file but is getting installed later. I also tried to put the silx entry in the requirements.txt before the crispy lib, but the error is getting raised anyway.

What the Muses Left Behind...: Character Analysis Part 2!
In my previous post I talked about how my performance background affects how I write my characters, and how my theatre education helps me flesh them out via character analysis.
A person read my blog! Which shouldn't surprise me as much as it does, but often when I blog I feel like I'm shouting into a void so knowing that someone I don't know is listening (reading) gives me bubble-tummy feels.
"...is there a way to teach people with no acting background [how] to make good use of character profiles?"
My immediate response is "YES!" - because I'm an optimist, and in my universe there is a way to do anything.
As I said in my previous post, I plan and plot. Vague versions of the characters usually come first. Once I have a plot from beginning to end I begin my in-depth analysis for each character. I start with the MC then work my way backward until I get to people who are nameless and have yet to exist. Don't break your brain over it. The writing process is a fickle and fluid thing.
So for this MS my main character's name is Eden.
"Daddy's girl. Quiet, observant, but not awkward. Strong imagination, but not bookish or hyper-intelligent for her age. 16. Lives in small-town Texas. Biracial - Mother is black, Dad is white. Not future-thinking (doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up). Only child. Spoiled, but not bratty. Strong-willed, but easy-going."
Okay...Here's where I fear I'm going to lose you. You're about to get a glimpse into my over-analytical, crazy-pants brain.
Eden and her best friend are in a car crash at the end of chapter two. Before they are hit they are rocking out to Janis Joplin. Why not Lady Gaga? Or Taylor Swift? Or One Direction? Well, Eden didn't grow up listening to pop music very often, but she did grow up listening to 70's music, classic rock, and 80's hair bands. So when Eden's best friend let's her pick what music they cruise to it's Janis Joplin.
Later, Eden changes out of a very nice outfit meant for a party, and into "knock-around" clothes. She puts on one of her dad's old Motley Cru t-shirts.
These things tell you what kind of girl she is without telling you. She's low maintenance; she has friends yet isn't a social outcast, but she's obviously not one of the super-popular, cheerleader types. There are many other things that this ONE item on a list of character traits tells you about her...that's just what I get from "Daddy's girl".
Your character analyses begin weave together then snowball...and you have yet to introduce the actual plot!
Don't confuse a character analysis with anything concerning plot.
Character analysis does not change the story in any way except for changing how it's told. Do you understand?
At the end of all things it doesn't matter what song Eden and her best friend were listening to when a car crashed into them. It doesn't matter what t-shirt she was wearing.
But at the same time it does- at least for me.
Those details add "umph". They add a little bit of "aww, me too" or "I know someone like that"; a little piece of the familiar that we take with us into an extraordinary world (I write portal fantasy).
If you're going to do an in-depth character analysis and mean to use it then make sure it informs your world/story.
Victor Vale in Vicious - he blacks out words in books as an act of rebellion against his parents. He does it to assert his power, and reject/mar their influence. There is no plot significance, but it speaks volumes about the character himself.
Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter (5-7) - wearer of radish earrings, and possessor of encyclopedic knowledge of obscure facts about weird (most likely non-existent) magical creatures. Though we were confined to Hogwarts she gave us glimpses into non-mainstream wizard society, and the world outside of wizard school.
Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin in The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings - love a quiet life, eat several meals per day, and are a notoriously non-adventurous/non-confrontational species. They people they were makes us care about the people they become. They prove themselves to be brave, daring, and selfless as they defy their natural inclinations to save their world. If Hobbits were lithe and beautiful warriors (like Elves), or hardy, desperate, rough-and-tumble brutes (like Dwarves) their journey would be less compelling than the one we know. There would be less heart within the story. It doesn't really matter that they regularly eat Second Breakfast. Second Breakfast didn't help them ascend Mount Doom. What mattered was that they stepped outside of themselves, that was a little piece of themselves that they sacrificed to do what they had to do.
That's the power of a character analysis. It allows you to find those little, inconsequential things that add color and depth to the bigger picture be it either the world you've built or the person.
Character analysis is merely an exercise. The things you glean from it will probably be things lost through round after round of revision, but the little gems you keep make your characters more valuable to the reader.
Some writers, I daresay many writers, may not use them, but I do because if I didn't I would get lost in plot. My characters would suffer from lack of dimension. I don't know if Victoria Schwab, J.K. Rowling, or J.R.R. Tolkien wrote out character profiles. Probably not - they're brilliant, but this is what I do to help my writing.
How you discover these things, and how you implement them are unique to you and the way you think. I can only tell you to find them, and add them in where you can. As a reader I relish those details. They are what make a character unique and memorable.
If you feel that a character analysis is something you'd want to try I'd suggest taking a character out of your favorite book/film/TV show (any character from anything) and breaking their characteristics down as much as you can. See how detailed your favorite characters are. I think you'll find that the most dynamic, intriguing characters are the ones with the most facets. They're the ones you can't sum up in three to five words.
Then create someone who can't be broken down into three to five words. Make someone who is complicated, contradictory but consistent, and make sure they're always moving forward (even if it's at 2mph). The character you begin with shouldn't be the character you end with.
This post is long-winded enough. I fear that I have muddled things more by trying to explain. More successful people out there are full of writerly advice - I'm just trying to explain what works best for me, and why.
The How is the secret that makes you You and makes me Me. I lean on my performance background. You might interview your characters, or make them have conversations with each other, or you might simply go forth with an idea and let your subconscious tell you who they are.
How you implement your character's strengths, quirks, and weaknesses is in your writing voice. If you choose to analyze to find those things is up to you.
If nothing else, I wish you luck! I wish you great writing, and breakthrough moments.

A bore 0-0 draw as the injury problems continue to mount
By Chris White@uzworm May 7, 2011, 10:01pm MDT
Share All sharing options for: A bore 0-0 draw as the injury problems continue to mount
FOXBORO, MA - MAY 7: Rajko Lekic #10 of New England Revolution reacts after he was elbowed in the face by Drew Moor #3 of the Colorado Rapids at Gillette Stadium on May 7, 2011 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)
Four points on the road in two games is just what the doctor ordered for the Colorado Rapids, but that prescription is only good for solving the problem of their positioning on the standings. We're going to need a whole separate crew of doctors to figure out what on earth is going on with the injury situation on this team. Another injured Rapids striker will undoubtedly be the story of this game as it ended in Foxboro against the New England Revolution 0-0 with very little fanfare from either side.
The first half wasn't exactly as boring as that Houston game the other day was, but it still lacked a ton of chances for either side. A patchwork side sent out featured Kosuke Kimura at right midfielder and a pairing up top that we hadn't seen since the Chivas USA match two games into the season, Caleb Folan and Quincy Amarikwa. Scott Palguta got his second start in a row after playing the unlikely goalscoring hero against Houston and fortunately was kept away from the ball most of the evening, as he had one of his usually below-average days at the office at left back.
The best chance of the first half came quickly as Ryan Cochrane hit the crossbar in the 15th minute but no other real developments happened until Caleb Folan limped off the field grabbing his groin. No word yet on the severity of the groin injury to Folan but losing another striker is not what the Rapids need right now. Andre Akpan came into the game for him and created several great chances of his own, being the only Rapid that seemed unafraid to let loose from outside the box. Only one of his shots was on target though and the game was scoreless and mostly actionless as they went into halftime.
Sainey Nyassi came in at halftime for New England to try and insert some fresh blood into the midfield, and it very nearly worked several times. The Revolution had a decent amount of possession in the second half compared to the first but both teams played fantastically until they reached their respective final thirds. Shalrie Joesph could have made it 1-0 thanks to a Tyrone Marshall slip up in the 57th minute but Matt Pickens was there to make the best save of the game. Benny Feilhaber had probably the best chance for either team in the game as a fantastic pass from Nyassi hit a wide open Feilhaber who put it centimeters away from the net as it clobbered the post instead, the second woodwork the Revs hit on the evening.
As it neared stoppage time the action shifted to being all Revs. Nyassi had a brilliant chance to get the ball to Rajko Lekic in the dying moments but Tyrone Marshall slid onto the line to clear it away and keep the game drawn. A point on the road is never a bad thing, especially for a team as historically terrible away from home as the Rapids are, so this is a fine result for them despite the Revs controlling large portions of the game. This patchwork squad will need to work as many points as they can in these situations until everyone is back healthy again.
They have now not lost to the Revs in seven games, keeping the all-time ownage of the team going. Coach Gary Smith now is 2-0-3 against the Revs, never having lost a game.
MAN OF THE MATCH: Marvell Wynne. Close race between him and Pickens, but Wynne was just flat out dominant at right back tonight.
GOAT OF THE MATCH: Quincy Amarikwa. He looked completely ineffective out there no matter who he was paired with, looking more concerned with getting into the box than he was actually shooting the ball. Several brilliant chances to score were ruined by Quincy overthinking himself.

Famine and hunger have human, not physical, causes. Discuss this.
Famine and hunger have human, not physical, causes. Discuss this. This statement is not entirely true. Physical causes play a major role in famine and hunger, but famine and hunger is amplified because of human factors. I will focus on Africa as the main case study, although other examples will be included where appropriate. Famine and hunger occur because of the inability to produce sufficient food to feed a country's population. The main causes of this can be attributed to physical factors, such as unfavourable climatic conditions. Global climate change has made farming very unreliable when it comes to producing a constant and sufficient amount of food. In Somalia, farmers have been unable to produce much food because of drastic climatic conditions. In 1997 and 1998, Somalia experienced heavy monsoon rains, which brought about floods due to the El Nino effect. However in 2000 and 2001, Somalia's luck turned for the worse as the country was ravaged by drought. Either way, crops could not be grown, leading to mass starvation. The countries around the Sahara desert also suffer when it comes to finding sufficient food. Only a recorded 50mm of rainfall or less falls in the Sahara desert a year, making farming extremely difficult. ...read more.
Other countries outside of Africa do suffer from famine and hunger. Russia is one country that has experienced a political change in administration, from that of Communism to Capitalism. Statistics have shown that social factors are not improving - life expectancy has been reduced and there is a higher death rate than before. However, Russia's population does not experience hunger to the extent of African countries, because of the availability of technology and because Russia is more developed. Africa is simply too poor to afford any technological changes in farming. Farmers in Africa are encouraged to buy crop seeds from multinational companies. Although the seeds are high yielding, they are unable to reproduce or propagate. Hence, farmers have to spend more money buying these input-intensive seeds, making the industry extremely unprofitable. Most farmers are unable to afford even the tools needed for a successful growing and harvest season. Some parts of India and Bangladesh suffer from famine because of land fragmentation. Large areas of land are divided up among children and siblings. Every year, the area of land owned by each individual is getting smaller and smaller. Farming is inefficient and the land runs out of nutrients very quickly and crop farming is unable to continue. ...read more.
Secondly, Africa's dependance on international and foreign aid is worsening its plight. Many African countries are only in the second stage of the Demographic Transition Model, and some countries are even going backwards development wise. They more or less fit themselves into Thomas Malthus' model of the unsustainability of increasing population growth on natural resources. However, I believe that it is international aid, in the form of food and medicine, which contributes to Africa's population growth. Were it not for international aid, the population of many of Africa's countries would have decreased accordingly to which the countries' own natural resources would have been able to support, therefore avoiding the food crisis plaguing Africa today. To conclude, famine and hunger are not only cause by human problems, but they also have physical causes behind them. However, the problems in food production caused by physical factors have been magnified by human factors. Countries in Africa and Asia, namely LEDCs, are overwhelmed by the problems brought about by physical causes, as they do not have the money and technology to overcome these causes. However, human causes including social and economic problems have been no help in improving the situation, but have simply worsened it. ...read more.

Urbanisation In LEDCs
The population in China is still growing, so there is increasing pressure on the land. Farm units are very small, often less than one hectare, and too small to grow enough to feed a farmer and his family. Another reason for migration is that housing conditions and services are also very poor in rural areas.

Background: The Papanicolaou smear (Pap smear, Pap test) is one of the most routine screening tests performed in medicine. The development and widespread use of this test has brought a considerable decrease in the incidence of cervical cancer. Unfortunately, this disease process continues to convey significant morbidity and mortality. These persistent phenomena may be the result of inadequate compliance with routine Pap smear screening, in which limited education is thought to play a role, particularly among ethnic minority groups.
Methods: A Google search using the phrase "pap smear" was performed and the first fourteen web addresses were analyzed using four standardized readability indices: the Flesh-Kinkaid Grade Level, the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook, the Gunning Fog Index and the Automated Readability Index. The average grade level readability was then compared to the American Medical Association recommendation that health care information should be written at a 5th or 6th-grade reading level (i.e., ages 10-12 years).
Results: The average grade-level readability values of the fourteen analyzed sites using the four aforementioned indices were 8.9, 8.8, 11.9, and 8.4, respectively. The mean readability of all four indices was 9.5.
Conclusion: The grade-level readability of commonly accessed internet information regarding Pap smears is above the recommendation of the American Medical Association. Health care providers and website authors should be cognizant of this, as it may impact compliance. This is particularly important given that this routine healthcare test is recommended for nearly fifty percent of the world's population at various points throughout their lifetime.
