There are currently five "Game of Thrones" books with a few more in the works. However, author George R.R. Martin's original plan was for the series to be a trilogy.
Redditor TheNextRobin noticed a tweet from UK bookseller Waterstones which contained three photos of a 1993 letter Martin wrote outlining the entire series. The tweet has since been deleted, but not before the images made it to the Internet.
Variety first picked up on the Reddit post.
While the letters detail many differences that never ended up occurring in the books and show. The biggest real is the five characters who survive at the end of the entire book series.
Of course, this could have changed by now, but back in '93 here's who Martin listed as surviving "Game of Thrones": *spoilers* Daenerys Targaryen, Arya Stark, Jon Snow, Bran Stark, and Tyrion Lannister. *spoilers*
Here are the letters below.
So you don't need to squint, I've included a typed out transcript of the three letters. There are some omissions because of giant glare marks on the letters. One of the last paragraphs is also blacked out. There are big spoilers below for those who haven't read the books or watched the shows.
First, the images:

Dear Ralph,
Here are the first thirteen chapters (170 pages) of the high fantasy novel I promised you, which I'm calling A Game of Thrones. When completed, this will be the first volume in what I see as an epic trilogy with the overall title, A Song of Ice and Fire.
As you know, I don't outline my novels. I find that if I know exactly where a book is going, I lose all interest in writing it. I do, however, have some strong notions as to the overall structure of the story I'm telling, and the eventual fate of many of the principle characters in the drama. Roughly speaking, there are three major conflicts set in motion in the chapters enclosed. These will form the major plot threads of the trilogy, [unclear] each other in what should be a complex but exciting (I hope [unclear] tapestry. Each of the [unclear] presents a major threat [unclear] of my imaginary realm, the Seven Kingdoms, and to the live [unclear] principal characters.
The first threat grows from the emnity between the great houses of Lannister and Stark as it plays out in a cycle of plot, counterplot, ambition, murder, and revenge, with the iron throne of the Seven Kingdoms as the ultimate prize. This will form the backbone of the first volume of the trilogy, A Game of Thrones.
While the lion of Lannister and the direwolf of Stark snarl and scrap, however, a second and greater threat takes shape across the narrow sea, where the Dothraki horselords mass their barbarian hordes for a great invasion of the Seven Kingdoms, led by the fierce and beautiful Daenerys Stormborn, the last of the Targaryen dragonlords. The Dothraki invasion will be the central story of my second volume, A Dance with Dragons.
The greatest danger of all, however, comes from the north, from the icy wastes beyond the Wall, where half-forgotten demons out of legend, the inhuman others, raise cold legions of the undead and the neverborn and prepare to ride down on the winds of winter to extinguish everything that we would call "life." The only thing that stands between the Seven Kingdoms and an endless night is the Wall, and a handful of men in black called the Night's Watch. Their story will be [sic] heart of my third volume, The Winds of Winter. The final battle will also draw together characters and plot threads left from the first two books and resolve all in one huge climax.
The thirteen chapters on hand should give you a notion as to my narrative strategy. All three books will feature a complex mosaic of intercutting points-of-view among various of my large and diverse cast of players. The cast will not always remain the same. Old characters will die, and new ones will be introduced. Some of the fatalities will include sympathetic viewpoint characters. I want the reader to feel that no one is ever completely safe, not even the characters who seem to be the heroes. The suspense always ratchets up a notch when you know that any character can die at any time.
Five central characters will make it through all three volumes, however, growing from children to adults and changing the world and themselves in the process. In a sense, my trilogy is almost a generational saga, telling the life stories of these five characters, three men and two women. The five key players are Tyrion Lannister, Daenerys Targaryen, and three of the children of Winterfell, Arya, Bran, and the bastard Jon Snow. All of them are introduced at some length in the chapters you have to hand.
This is going to be (I hope) quite an epic. Epic in its scale, epic in its action, and epic in its length. I see all three volumes as big books, running about 700 to 800 manuscript pages, so things are just barely getting underway in the thirteen chapters I've sent you.
I have quite a clear notion of how the story is going to unfold in the first volume, A Game of Thrones. Things will get a lot worse for the poor Starks before they get better, I'm afraid. Lord Eddard Stark and his wife Catelyn Tully are both doomed, and will perish at the hands of their enemies. Ned will discover what happened to his friend Jon Arryn, [unclear] can act on his knowledge [unclear] will have an unfortunate accident, and the throne will [unclear] to [unclear] and brutal [unclear] Joffrey [unclear] still a minor. Joffrey will not be sympathetic and Ned [what appears to say] will be accused of treason, but before he is taken he will help his wife and his daughter Arya escape back to Winterfell.
Each of the contending families will learn it has a member of dubious loyalty in its midst. Sansa Stark, wed to Joffrey Baratheon, will bear him a son, the heir to the throne, and when the crunch comes she will choose her husband and child over her parents and siblings, a choice she will later bitterly rue. Tyrion Lannister, meanwhile, will befriend both Sansa and her sister Arya, while growing more and more disenchanted with his own family.
Young Bran will come out of his coma, after a strange prophetic dream, only to discover that he will never walk again. He will turn to magic, at first in the hope of restoring his legs, but later for its own sake. When his father Eddard Stark is executed, Bran will see the shape of doom descending on all of them, but nothing he can say will stop his brother Robb from calling the banners in rebellion. All the north will be inflamed by war. Robb will win several splendid victories, and maim Joffrey Baratheon on the battlefield, but in the end he will not be able to stand against Jaime and Tyrion Lannister and their allies. Robb Stark will die in battle, and Tyrion Lannister will besiege and burn Winterfell.
Jon Snow, the bastard, will remain in the far north. He will mature into a ranger of great daring, and ultimately will succeed his uncle as the commander of the Night's Watch. When Winterfell burns, Catelyn Stark will be forced to flee north with her son Bran and her daughter Arya. Wounded by Lannister riders, they will seek refuge at the Wall, but the men of the Night's Watch give up their families when they take the black, and Jon and Ben jen will not be able to help, to Jon's anguish. It will lead to a bitter estrangement between Jon and Bran. Arya will be more forgiving ... until she realizes, with terror, that she has fallen in love with Jon, who is not only her half-brother but a man of the Night's Watch, sworn to celibacy. Their passion will continue to torment Jon and Arya throughout the trilogy, until the secret of Jon's true parentage is finally revealed in the last book.
Abandoned by the Night's Watch, Catelyn and her children will find their only hope of safety lies even further north, beyond the Wall, where they fall into the hands of Mance Rayder, the King-beyond-the-Wall, and get a dreadful glimpse of the inhuman others as they attack the wilding encampment. Bran's magic, Arya's sword Needle, and the savagery of their direwolves will help them survive, but their mother Catelyn will die at the hands of the others.
Over across the narrow sea, Daenerys Targaryen will discover that her new husband, the Dothraki Khal Drogo, has little interest in invading the Seven Kingdoms, much to her brother's frustration. When Viserys presses his claims past the point of tact or wisdom, Khal Drogo will finally grow annoyed and kill him out of hand, eliminating the Targaryen pretender and leaving Daenerys as the last of her line. Danerys [sic] will bide her time, but she will not forget. When the moment is right, she will kill her husband to avenge her brother, and then flee with a trusted friend into the wilderness beyond Vaes Dothrak. There, hunted by [unclear] of her life, she stumbles on a [something about dragon eggs] a young dragon will give Daenerys [unclear] bend [unclear] to her will. Then she begins to plan for her invasion of the Seven Kingdoms.
Tyrion Lannister will continue to travel, to plot, and to play the game of thrones, finally removing his nephew Joffrey in disgust at the boy king's brutality. Jaime Lannister will follow Joffrey on the throne of the Seven Kingdoms, by the simple expedient of killing everyone ahead of him in the line of succession and blaming his brother Tyrion for the murders. Exiled, Tyrion will change sides, making common cause with the surviving Starks to bring his brother down, and falling helplessly in love with Arya Stark while he's at it. His passion is, alas, unreciprocated, but no less intense for that, and it will lead to a deadly rivalry between Tyrion and Jon Snow.
The next graph is blocked out.
But that's the second book ...
I hope you will find some editors who are as excited about all of this as I am. Feel free to share this letter with anyone who wants to know how the story will go.

HILLSBORO, Ore., Sept. 6, 2011 – SolarWorld, the largest U.S. manufacturer of solar panels for more than 35 years, is offering an explanatory booklet for free download to the nation's schools and schoolteachers to ease the increasingly vital task of plainly, vividly explaining solar energy and its promise.
Titled "Energy for You and Me," the booklet uses color photography, illustrations and graphics to unlock the science and technology of how crystalline silicon solar panels are produced and deployed and how they generate electricity for decades – with no need for fuels, moving parts, emissions, maintenance or combustion.
Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize not for developing the theory of relativity but for explaining the photo-electric effect – the physics underlying solar-electric generation?
Solar-electric generation may be equated to tapping energy from rock, as it combines sunlight with treated silicon, the most common solid element on Earth's crust?
Solar panels are assembled from photovoltaic cells that originate in heavy silicon crystals grown from silicon melted at temperatures exceeding 2,500 degrees?
For students in grades eight through 12, "Energy for You and Me" details such processes and facts in a format that also provides sidebars on not only the solar industry's history and technology but also its vocabulary and science. Few, if any, comparable, up-to-date publications serve these purposes.
SolarWorld Americas president Kevin Kilkelly said while the company's business is building and selling high-performance solar panels, SolarWorld also needs to assist the next generation to grasp the promise of solar energy. "They know fossil fuels are taking a toll on their planet," he said. "As a kind of Solar 101, our new publication will help these future leaders understand how solar energy not only will, but is currently building a clean, green future."

The archive, a storage site for blueprints of nuclear plants, uses active UWB tags to ensure workers are evacuated should a fire-protection system become activated, filling its chambers with nitrogen.
Dec 24, 2008—Nuclear plant designer and constructor Areva NP, a division of French multinational conglomerate Areva, is employing active RFID to ensure the safety of its personnel at a high-security document archive in Erlangen, Germany. The facility holds the blueprints and highly confidential documents for nuclear plants operating around the world. These documents must be stored for approximately 90 years in a fire-safe archive, in accordance with the laws of various countries, as well as the company's contractual obligations.
The archive is equipped with a fire-protection system that would flood the facility's rooms with nitrogen within two minutes of detecting a conflagration. The nitrogen would then choke out the fire by displacing much of the oxygen in the rooms. The system would also eliminate the need to use water—which could permanently damage the documents—to extinguish the flames.
"When a fire breaks out in an archive, the water used to extinguish the fire often causes more damage than the fire itself," says Orgent Seydel, who is responsible for safety and quality assurance at the facility.
If a staff member were trapped inside the building when the nitrogen was pumped into it, however, the effect could be harmful and potentially deadly. This risk to personnel was the reason Areva NP approached systems integrator Dynamic Systems in September 2007, to find a system to track its employees. The company must know where workers are located in the archive at all times, in order to ensure rescue teams can quickly reach them in times of danger.
The 1,600-square-meter (17,200-square-foot) archive is spread out over four separate rooms. Each contains up to 10 shelving blocks comprising 10 to 12 shelves that can be pushed together manually along rails to preserve space. The spatial arrangement of the shelves may change frequently. As employees file documents and complete daily tasks, they must move around the shelf blocks and between shelves.

Plaintiff had a complex medical history requiring use of Coumadin, an anticoagulant, since 1998. Use of Coumadin requires monitoring of INR for assessing the thickness/thinness of blood. Too low of an INR can result in clotting risk, while too high of an INR can result in bleeding risk.
Standlee's anticoagulation therapy was managed briefly by the Coumadin Clinic at Scripps Clinic in 2000, and was then managed by various outside providers until March of 2009, when she returned to the Scripps Coumadin Clinic for anticoagulation management.
Standlee initially went to a lab to obtain INR values. However, she had substantial difficulty going to the lab due to child care responsibilities. She missed multiple lab appointments, and the Coumadin Clinic assisted her in arranging for a home INR monitor for ease of testing. During her management by the Coumadin Clinic, Standlee had several instances in which she took unprescribed medications without advising the Coumadin Clinic.
On one occasion, she ingested excess doses of Coumadin, had a headache, and was told by the Coumadin Clinic of the possibility of intracranial hemorrhage and was urged to seek medical attention at Urgent Care.
On November 16, 2010, Standlee presented to a physician at Scripps Clinic with symptoms of sinus infection, who prescribed Augmentin, an antibiotic, and instructed Standlee to follow-up with the Coumadin Clinic, as antibiotics may have adverse interactions with Coumadin. Standlee did not do so.
Standlee returned to Scripps Clinic on November 24, 2010 and was seen by another physician, again with sinus pressure, as well as eye pain. She was prescribed another course of Augmentin and advised to follow-up with the Coumadin Clinic due to potential drug interactions.
Standlee tested her INR value on November 26, 2010, and obtained an elevated value of 8.0. A Coumadin Clinic pharmacist called her the next day and left a message to inquire as to the cause of the elevated INR, and advised her to go to the emergency room with any severe bleeding or bruising.
On November 28, 2010, Standlee presented to the emergency room with a severe headache, and was discovered to have a subdural hematoma. She subsequently underwent craniotomy.
Plaintiffs claimed the care and treatment by Scripps Clinic's Coumadin Clinic fell below the standard of care. Standlee testified she did not recall various physicians discussing the risk of bleeding with use of Coumadin, or the risk of drug interactions between Coumadin and antibiotics. She testified she had absolutely no understanding she was obligated to inform the Coumadin Clinic of newly prescribed medications due to potential drug interactions.
Plaintiffs' expert, Dr. Michlin, testified the Coumadin Clinic had a duty to reach the patient on November 26, 2010 when an elevated INR value of 8.0 was obtained. Further, the pharmacist was obligated by the standard of care to review Standlee's medical record at the time, which would have revealed a complaint of headache from 2 days prior.
Plaintiffs alleged violation of policies and procedures, and a deficient on-call system for INR values drawn over the weekend, which she claimed resulted in subdural hematoma and related damages.
The Medical Director of the Coumadin Clinic testified and explained the policies and procedures were both adequate and followed by Coumadin Clinic pharmacists as it pertains to the care of Ms. Standlee.
The pharmacist testified the message she left for Ms. Standlee the morning of November 27, 2010, was pursuant to and consistent with Coumadin Clinic protocol.The pharmacist further set forth other instances in which Ms. Standlee was advised of the need to report medication changes, and to seek medical attention at the Urgent Care/Emergency Room in the event of a persisting headache with elevated INR values.
Standlee's treating physicians additionally testified she was instructed on the need for follow-up with the Coumadin Clinic in the event of newly prescribed medications, due to potential drug interactions. They further testified she exhibited acknowledgment and understanding of such instructions.
Defense expert Dr. Howard Williams testified the standard of care was met in all respects. He testified the on-call system was appropriate and offered more accessibility than most Coumadin Clinics. He testified Standlee was a long-time Coumadin patient, was capable of understanding and following instructions, and was informed of potential drug interactions. He testified that while there is a recognized interaction between Augmentin and Coumadin, Augmentin would not typically elevate the INR to 8.0, and based on Standlee's past history of self-medicating on various occasions, he believed the cause of the elevated INR on November 26 was due to excess ingestion of Coumadin, not due to drug interaction with Augmentin.
Dr. Williams testified Standlee had a history of somatization and severe pre-existing headaches, and that craniotomy did not cause the headaches currently reported by the patient.
Standlee claimed medical negligence resulting in subdural hematoma and need for craniotomy. She alleged persisting, severe, left-sided headaches from the craniotomy.
Plaintiff Standlee claimed past and future non-economic damages consisting of pain and suffering. Frank Meram claimed loss of consortium. Plaintiffs identified out-of-pocket medical bills totaling approximately $35,000.
Special Damages Claimed - Past Medical: $35,000
Demands and Offers
Defendant §998 Offer: Dismissal in exchange for waiver of costs before trial.

The Beijing Municipal Department of Public Security says that 26 second-hand mobile phone markets and 29 second-hand computer markets in Beijing have installed monitoring cameras and identification devices, enabling the markets to keep records of the real identities of sellers of these products.
Realizing that many criminals were disposing stolen or contraband goods through unlicensed stores or waste metal recycling stores, BMDPS has been promoting such measures as real-name registration at used goods markets across the city this year, with the emphasis given on second-hand mobile phone and second-hand computer markets.
Since the real-name transaction system started to be adopted, the police department has already captured eight illegal groups that had worked on collecting or selling stolen electronics, detaining 223 criminals and uncovering 419 cases.

Shane Courtney Battier (born September 9, 1978) is a retired American professional basketball player who last played for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He has also been a member of the U.S. national team.
Battier was born and raised in Birmingham, Michigan, and attended Detroit Country Day School in nearby Beverly Hills, where he won many awards including the 1997 Mr. Basketball award. He went on to play four years of college basketball at Duke, where he captured the 2001 National Championship and swept the major National Player of the Year awards. Battier was selected with the sixth overall pick of the 2001 NBA Draft by the Vancouver Grizzlies (who soon became the Memphis Grizzlies). He was traded five years later to the Houston Rockets, and was then traded back to the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2010–2011 NBA season. He signed with the Miami Heat in 2011. His number has been retired by both Detroit Country Day School and Duke University. He has been recognized for his aggressive defense and has "routinely guarded the league's most dangerous offensive players".[1] He is the only basketball player to have ever won both the Naismith Prep Player of the Year Award (1997) and the Naismith College Player of the Year (2001).[2] Battier won two NBA championships with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013.

6.1 Regular season
Battier was an outlier from his childhood; by the time he entered Country Day as a seventh-grader, he was already 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m), and was 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) a year later. He was also the only child in the school with a black father and a white mother. As Michael Lewis put it in a 2009 article, the young Battier "was shuttling between a black world that treated him as white and a white world that treated him as black."[1] More specifically in the context of basketball, Lewis noted that "the inner-city kids with whom he played on the Amateur Athletic Union (A.A.U.) circuit treated Battier like a suburban kid with a white game, and the suburban kids he played with during the regular season treated him like a visitor from the planet where they kept the black people."[1]
Battier, who graduated from Detroit Country Day School with a 3.96 grade point average and was named the school's outstanding student in his senior year,[1] went on to attend Duke, where he played four years under head coach Mike Krzyzewski. While at Duke, Battier was often the best defender on the court. He frequently took charges which prompted the Cameron Crazies to chant, "Who's your daddy? Battier!" He led the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball to two Final Fours, in 1999 and 2001, though his team in 1998 squandered a late 17-point lead to eventual national champion Kentucky in the regional finals. The Blue Devils lost to the Connecticut Huskies in the 1999 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, but came back to win the national championship by defeating the Arizona Wildcats two years later. In 2001, Battier swept the major National Player of the Year awards, and subsequently had his jersey number 31 retired by the Blue Devils. Additionally, Battier was a three-time awardee of the NABC Defensive Player of the Year. Battier (778) and Jason Williams on the 2001 national championship team were one of only two Duke duos to each score over 700 points in a season, the other duo being Jon Scheyer (728) and Kyle Singler (707) in the 2009–10 season.[3] Battier graduated from Duke with a major in religion.[4]
After the conclusion of his college career, Battier was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary men's basketball team. Battier was a two-time Academic All-American and Academic All-American of the year in 2001.[5]
He was second behind Jon Scheyer in the Duke record book for minutes played in a single season as of March 28, 2010, and had 36 double-figure scoring games in a single season (tied for 5th-most in Duke history, with Scheyer, Jason Williams, and J.J. Redick.[6]
NBA career
Memphis Grizzlies (2001–2006)
Battier was selected by the Grizzlies with the sixth pick of the first round of the 2001 NBA Draft. At the time, the Grizzlies were in the process of moving from Vancouver to Memphis. Pau Gasol of Spain was selected in the same draft with the number three pick, by the Atlanta Hawks, then traded to the Grizzlies.
Battier was a versatile player with the size to play inside and the range to score from further out (particularly the corner three-pointer). However, he made his living as a hustle player on the defensive end, where he defended three positions (shooting guard, power forward, small forward) with a high degree of skill, netted a good number of blocks and steals, dove for loose balls, and frequently drew offensive fouls from his opponent.

Houston Rockets (2006–2011)
On June 28, 2006, Battier was traded by the Grizzlies to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Stromile Swift and the Rockets' number 8 selection Rudy Gay in the 2006 NBA Draft.[7]
Battier has often been called[8][9] "the ultimate glue guy" for playing sound, fundamental, team-oriented basketball, making his teammates more effective without flash or padding his own stats, and for making the most of his skills with discipline and hustle rather than raw athleticism.[10] He's also known for his extensive preparation in studying the opposing team and the player he is assigned to guard: "I try to prepare for my opponent as thoroughly as possible. I want to know every angle on the man I am guarding to give me an edge. I read many, many pages and go over strengths and weaknesses many times before a game. 'Proper preparation prevents poor performance.' That is a motto I like."[11] The Rockets made him the team's only player with access to its highly sophisticated statistical data that they compiled on all opposing players; he used this data to become familiar with the tendencies of the players he would guard in each game.[1] In a game between the Rockets and San Antonio Spurs in the 2007–08 season in which he was assigned to guard Manu Ginóbili, because Ginóbili was playing off the bench and his minutes were not in sync with those of typical NBA starters, Battier went to Rockets coach Rick Adelman before the game and asked to be kept out of the starting lineup and substituted in whenever Ginóbili entered the game. Rockets general manager Daryl Morey later said about the incident, "No one in the NBA does that. No one says put me on the bench so I can guard their best scorer all the time."[1]
He played for the US national team in the 2006 FIBA World Championship, winning a bronze medal.[12]
On February 17, 2010, in a game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Battier scored 20 points, shooting 6–6 from 3-point territory, to go along with his 10 rebounds. During the latter part of the season, Battier lost his starting spot to the returning Trevor Ariza. Battier, however, made it perfectly clear that starting a game or hearing his name before a game was not important to him. On March 21, 2010 in a game against the New York Knicks, Battier suffered a season-ending knee injury.
On December 17, Battier recorded his first double-double of the season, finishing with 17 points (including 5 three-pointers) and 10 rebounds to go with 5 assists, 3 blocks, and a steal. On January 24, 2011, Battier scored a season-high 19 points (including 5 three-pointers) in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. On February 5, Battier recorded a season-high 13 rebounds in an overtime win over the Utah Jazz. On February 14, Battier went a perfect 7–7 from the field (including 3–3 on three-pointers), finishing with 17 points, in a 121–102 win over the Denver Nuggets.
Return to Memphis (2011)
On February 24, Battier was traded by the Houston Rockets back to the Memphis Grizzlies, where Battier was originally drafted and played the first years of his career, in exchange for center Hasheem Thabeet, DeMarre Carroll, and a 1st round draft pick. On April 17, with Memphis down by two, Battier made the game-winning three, helping Memphis to its first playoff win in franchise history, following losses in its first 12 playoff games.
Miami Heat (2011–2014)
On December 8, 2011, Battier announced through his Twitter account that he planned to sign with the Miami Heat when free agency opened the following day. He had met with Heat officials in the first hours of December 5, the first day that teams were allowed to speak with players. Battier officially signed on as a member of the Heat on December 9, 2011.[13] On March 2, 2012, Battier scored a season-high 18 points, going 6–7 from the three-point line, in a one point loss to the Utah Jazz. In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics, Battier recorded his first career playoff double-double in a 93–79 win. In the 2012 NBA Finals, Battier scored 58 points in five games, and won his first NBA Championship. His 11.6 points per game exceeded his 4.8 average in the 2011–12 regular season, and he made 15–26 three-point shots. His 57.7 three point shooting percentage in the 2012 NBA Finals is the highest three point shooting percentage ever recorded by a player who made 15 or more three-pointers in an NBA Finals series.[14][15][16][17]
During the 2012–13 regular season, Battier and the Heat won 27 consecutive games, establishing the NBA's second-longest winning streak (behind the 33 consecutive games won by the Lakers in the 1971–72 season). A speech given by Battier following the Super Bowl has been credited with sparking the 27-game win streak.[18] The winning streak was snapped on March 27, 2013, when the Heat lost to the Chicago Bulls. The Heat surpassed the 22-game winning streak recorded by the 2007–08 Rockets, for whom Battier also played. Battier became the only player in NBA history to have been a part of two 20-game winning streaks. Battier struggled with his shooting in the playoffs until scoring 18 points (6 of 8 3-point field goals) in an intense Game 7 against the Spurs to win his second championship. While being awarded the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, Battier was asked to speak about his performance, and concisely said that "it's better to be timely than good".[19]
In March 2014, Battier announced his intentions to retire following the 2013–14 season.[20] The Heat would go on to their fourth straight NBA Finals and Battier's third. The Heat would again face the Spurs in the 2014 NBA Finals, only to lose the series in five games. Following the Heat's Game 5 loss, Battier officially announced his retirement after 13 seasons in the NBA.[21]
In the 2006–07 NBA season, Battier appeared in the NBA Fundamentals series, hosted by TNT, in which players showcase several aspects of the game. He explained how to take charges, i.e. draw offensive fouls. In this clip, Battier explained that a good charge taker needs three things: good court vision, so he knows where the ball is at all times; anticipation, so he can guess the spot where a slashing attacker will dribble to; and courage, because taking a charge hurts. He also emphasised the need to keep your feet outside the blocking circle, because otherwise, the legal charge becomes an illegal block. Battier joked that Charles Barkley, who is known for his size, was an elite charge taker.
During the 2013 NBA Draft, Battier interviewed many of the draftees for ESPN.
In summer 2004, Battier married Heidi Ufer, his high school sweetheart.[22] They had their first son, Zeke Edward Battier, on June 2, 2008. On April 17, 2011, Heidi had their second child, a daughter named Eloise.
Battier is a co-owner of D1 Sports Training in Memphis.[23] In 2010 Battier was chosen as the seventh-smartest athlete in sports by Sporting News.[4] Battier has said that following United States Senator Carl Levin's 2013 announcement of retirement, the Michigan Democratic Party contacted Battier to gauge his interest in potentially running for the Senate, but he was not interested in running.[24]

Home Office seeks deputy director for ESN mobile communications programme
Written by PublicTechnology on 13 March 2017 in News
The Home Office is seeking a "robust and charismatic" deputy director for Emergency Services Network Mobilisation.
Home Office seeks deputy director for managing ESN Mobilisation Unit - Photo credit: PA
The deputy director will have responsibility for leading and managing the ESN Mobilisation Unit within the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme.
This programme is transferring the UK's three blue light services, and other public safety bodies, existing communications services to new mobile voice and broadband data communications services.
The deputy director role, offered with a pay band of £80,000 to £85,000, will be responsible for integrating and optimising the two solutions that have been chosen for the ESN Mobilisation Unit, and will replace the Airwave radio system.
Motorola will provide user services, while EE will provide mobile services, both using the existing commercial 4G mobile data network, and the new recruit will be expected to work closely with representatives from both companies.
This includes being the first port of call for problems and being responsible for developing mitigating actions against any potential risks.
Home Office relaunches emergency services network devices procurement
'Ambitious' target date for delivering Emergency Services Network 'unlikely to be met', say MPs
The deputy director will regularly review with structure of the unit, ensure that new products and services meet user requirements, and analyse the impact of any proposed changes on time, cost and user needs.
In addition, they will issue regular updates to the programme director for the ESMCP, the senior management team as well as the ESN management and change board, of which they will also be a member.
The job advert asks for someone with direct experience managing a large and complex change project and of working in multi-disciplinary teams.
It says they should be a "robust, charismatic and dynamic leader who demonstrates strong commercial acumen, authenticity, honesty and passion".
They should also have demonstrable experience of identifying and mitigating risks and issues and the "ability to find innovative ways to resolve problems".
In addition, they are required to have relevant experience of strategic programme management "in a complex delivery and contractual environment, including the application of good practice from MSP and PRINCE 2".
The plan to create the new communications system for the emergency services came under fire earlier this year, when MPs on the Public Accounts Committee said the target date of December 2019 was unlikely to be met.
It called on the Home Office to step up its contingency planning in case the new system wasn't ready in time.
According to the PAC, many emergency services are still awaiting "sufficient assurance" that ESN is "at least as good as" the existing Airwave system before committing to the switch, and the committee added that the Home Office has slimmed-down its timetable for the region-by-region transition to ESN by three months.
The committee called on the Home Office to take a fresh look at the timescales for the ESN programme, urging it to "work with emergency services" to ensure that transition plans for the new network are realistic.
"It must take responsibility for convincing services to switch to ESN but also be clear at what point it will mandate the switchover," the MPs said.

Q: Correlation and Outliers I want to know if someone has some experience working the 'issue' im encountering.
I have a series of arrays, 18, time series on a 14 year period, I want to build a correlation matrix with these data. But I want to check for outliers in each columns, this is done pretty much easily. I do have some outliers on some of the columns. So how i need to tackle the next step? say for example, i need to remove 20 rows in column 2 which accounts for outliers, 50 rows, in column 12. So by definition the whole set of 18 time series, are not of same size anymore, what to do here? Do i need to normalize the rest of the 16 arrays and make them correspond to the common end date of each array in order to do the spearman correlation matrix? I find this solution a bit radical, do you know another one? I use Matlab to do this...
Thank you very much.
ST

A: First, are you sure you want correlations among time series? These are fraught with problems, chiefly that there are many false correlations. E.g. the population of China is highly correlated with the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Second, if you do want correlations, then instead of deleting outliers you can run a correlation measure that copes better with them, such as rank correlation, provided that the outliers are not spurious data.

Tarlang's Neck formed part of the route by which [[Aragorn]] led the [[Army of the Dead]] on their journey to the relief of [[Minas Tirith]] in the [[War of the Ring]].
Tarlang's Neck was a pass between Erech and Lamedon formed by Tarlang (the long, mountainous spur of the southern White Mountains, thrusting out between the Blackroot Vale to the west and the land of Lamedon to the east) and its parent range, between the sources of the Blackroot and Ciril rivers

Workplace Bullying: What does the law say?
Bullying in the workplace – which includes yelling, insulting and belittling comments, teasing, threatening, and name-calling – often goes unchecked and overlooked. The Workplace Bullying Institute defines workplace bullying as the repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets) by one or more perpetrators. It is abusive conduct that is threatening, humiliating, or intimidating, or work interference—sabotage—which prevents work from getting done, or verbal abuse.
What the law says
Bullying among schoolchildren and cyberbullying have been widely talked about; and legislation and programs that address the problem continue to be developed. To date, there is no federal law that would definitely make workplace bullying illegal. There are laws that protect employees from being mistreated based on gender, race, age, national origin, or disability; therefore, bullying becomes illegal when it violates federal or state laws that prohibit discrimination and harassment of those in protected status. However, there is still no law that protects an employee from mistreatment where the mistreatment is not based on a protected characteristic.
Despite the lack of a comprehensive federal legislation on bullying, many states have introduced anti-bullying bills that have similar and consistent themes. Members of state legislatures have sponsored versions of the Healthy Workplace Bill and at least three states have passed laws that regulate workplace bullying: Utah, Tennessee, and California. Utah and Tennessee laws are focused on public employers. The California law applies to companies with more than 50 employees, and it requires them to train managers on preventing abusive conduct at work, even if the harassment or abuse is not based on a protected status. Abusive conduct would include verbal abuse, threats, and efforts to sabotage or undermine someone's work performance.
The Healthy Workplace Campaign, through the bill, pushes for strong legislation that prohibits workplace bullying and protection for employees who experience abuse at work on a basis other than a protected class. The bill does the following for workers: allow them to sue the bully as an individual, hold the employer accountable, provide an avenue for legal compensation in case of health-harming abuse at work, seek restoration for lost wages and benefits, and require employers to take corrective actions and prevent future instances.
What to do if you're bullied at work
Even if the bully is not breaking the law, it is in your employer's best interest to address and stop bullying in the workplace. Workplace bullying has many detrimental effects such as decreased productivity, performance, and morale. Therefore, if you are being bullied at work, file a complaint with your company's Human Resources department.
Keep tabs of all the instances of bullying. Take note of the dates, times, and those who may have witnessed the incidents. These information are necessary should there be an investigation. Keep records of how the bullying has affected you – stress, medical problems, missed workdays, etc.

Good narrative cRPG balance, to my mind, means five things are true in a given game's case: 1) Every player can complete the critical path. Some parts are very difficult for some players, other parts are very difficult for other players, but every player who is willing to engage with the mechanics and is persistent can eventually complete the game. 2) The hardest side quests are much harder than the hardest crit path content, but it should be clear to every player that it's possible to beat them, and those who can't beat them should always have a way out, even if it's just running awa
Class abilities: ADnD vs DnD4
Ffordesoon replied to Frenzy-kun's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
D&D is great in some ways, and terrible in others. What it tends to be terrible at is what computer games are great at, which is the problem. I started doing PnP with 4E and immediately didn't care for it. It's fine, but there's not enough mechanical defferentiation, and it plays as a board game unless you have a great DM. I switched to Pathfinder pretty quickly, and found it vastly more rewarding. However, if I had to choose between those rulesets for a computer game, I'd pick 4E, because it's already ninety percent of the way there. It would be an incredible video game, becau

Apologies for triple-posting, but: If you (Obsidian) are going to give us big cities with multiple districts to run around in with lots and lots and lots of quests, in the quests that involve finding a person and/or going back to a questgiver, will you please at least tell us which region of the city we're supposed to be searcihing in? Now, granted, this is less of a fix than "Don't make architecture that blurs together," but I understand that maintaining the level of detail a game like PoE requires necessitates some reuse of assets and the like.

Thinking Of Running A Pathfinder Game

I was thinking of switching to Numenera for that reason, actually. Rules-light, creativity-heavy. Proabably a better fit for my first GMing experience. I like PF as a player, and they do give GMs a whole lot of help, but there's still a crazy amount of math involved, and math and I get along like, er, two things that don't get along very well at all.

Too combat-focused?
Ffordesoon replied to Ieldra's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Maybe not. Josh could have easily had a brain fart and switched out Strength for Might.
As a moderator on the Wasteland 2 boards, I've borne witness to a lot of grousing about the attributes not feeling attached enough to the skills, particularly in the case of Charisma and the dialogue skills it opens up. As such, I wholly support dialogue checks tied directly to attributes.

Update #74: Wizard & Druid Reflections
Ffordesoon replied to Mr. Magniloquent's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
To be honest, I'd rather see all spells be useful throughout the game without any kind of scaling. Instead, the spells should be useful throughout the game, and the monsters should communicate visually that a given spell won't be so useful on them. A fireball is gonna kill the hell out of the average kobold, but on a dragon or a gibbering horror from beyond time and space, it should be as useful as going "Pew pew!" and pointing your finger at it.
They probably put some similar spells in there to assuage fears that Wizards would be oh-so-shockingly-different from IE casters. Which then bothered some people anyway. Obsidian can't win with some of you folks, I swear.
Crazy difficult
Ffordesoon replied to a topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
What is the point of this post? It's boring. Why do I continue to go into threads that I find boring and post meaningless posts? I know, because I feel special and need to post these meaningless posts and let the community know how I'm feeling. Ah, I feel better knowing I've let the whole community know I'm bored and had to post this. Well, yeah, pretty much. I never claimed I couldn't be a jerk. Still a boring argument, though.
Oh, yeah, and it is true that non-combat skills are largely class-agnostic. Class mostly determines how you fight rather than who you are. EDIT: Which I am absolutely a fan of, to be clear.
Addendum to previous: Turned out I had a spare Wand Of Paralyzation, thank Christ. Still, it was a lame situation to be in.
I don't know how "common" this is, but I would definitely call it a pitfall: trapping us in a place where we have to fight a monster who can only be hurt by a certain weapon we probably don't have and may not specialize in even if we do have it, and then giving that monster regenerating health. I've been fighting Kagour (sp?) on the Werewolf Island in Tales Of The Sword Coast, and frankly, he is impossible for my party to beat even with the Sword Of Balduran and using cheesy kiting tactics. Which wouldn't be so bad, if I had any other options than to fight him. But I'm stuck on the islan
From the Pathfinder Core Rulebook: If I may be forgiven for quoting that out of its original context, I suspect this is why we've mainly heard about combat. It's the most challenging part of the game to build, so doing it upfront is best. Also, combat has rarely been an area in which Obsidian has excelled, whereas they always excel at writing, C&C, and world-building. I expect they're trying to shore up this weakness first and foremost. And, of course, there's the fact that non-combat stuff tends to involve scripted interactions, and thus spoilers. Which is not to say that th
It's interesting. That's exactly the vibe I got when I was reading the list. Many of these spells sound like they'd compliment a multi-class Mage-warrior build marvelously. Like Mage's Double, for example. Imagine casting that on yourself then wading in and engaging in melee brawl...But alas. There's no Multi-classing in PoE.Of course, you can still do the above, but you'll be doing it as a pure wizard. But multi-classing is a solution to overly rigid classes. If the classes aren't so rigid, there's simply no need for it.
Why is this argument still going on? It's boring.
At the risk of scaring you off, I should point out that you would be a guinea pig for someone (me) who's learning on the job just like you. I'm not sure that's the ideal first PnP experience.

I'm copy-pasting this from another board, so if it reads weirdly, that's why: ^ I know I don't know many of you very well, and that I tend to keep to the PoE subforums. Nonetheless, I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in watching me squirm.
Small suggestions. Easily implemented ideas, quickfire thoughts.
Ffordesoon replied to JFSOCC's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Let us queue up actions. It was a good idea in KOTOR and it's a good idea here. I'm sure someone's already said that, and it probably goes without saying, but things that go without saying have a nasty habit of not being said until it's too late.
AI defaults to on in the IE games.
