It seems as if the world is encountering a "perfect storm" of simultaneous crises: The coronavirus pandemic is approaching the end of its third year, the war in Ukraine is threatening to go nuclear, extreme climate events are afflicting North America, Europe, Asia and Africa, inflation is reaching rates unseen in decades and authoritarianism is on the march around the world. But the storm metaphor implies that this simultaneity is an unfortunate and temporary coincidence — that it's humanity's bad luck that everything seems to be going haywire all at once.
In reality, the likelihood that the current mess is a coincidence is vanishingly small. We're almost certainly confronting something far more persistent and dangerous. We can see the crises of the moment, but we're substantially blind to the hidden processes by which those crises worsen one another — and to the true dangers that may be enveloping us all.
Today's mess is better understood as a global polycrisis, a term the historian Adam Tooze at Columbia has recently popularized. The term implies that humanity is dealing with a complex knot of seemingly distinct but actually deeply entangled crises. Precisely because these crises are so entangled, they're causing worldwide damage much greater than the sum of their individual harms.
In the last 10 years, things have gone fundamentally awry. Rates of global hunger, numbers of migrants forced to move within countries and across borders, levels of political authoritarianism, violations of human rights and the occurrence of violent demonstrations and ongoing conflict — these measures of harm are all up, and in some cases by a lot. At the same time, the average human life expectancy dropped to 70.96 years in 2021, from an estimated 72.6 years in 2019, the first decline since the United Nations began tabulating such data in 1950.
Taken in isolation, natural and social stresses that can lead to a global crisis are often identified as "systemic risks." They include climate heating, zoonotic disease outbreaks (disease transmitted from animals to humans), biodiversity decline, worsening economic inequality, financial system instability, ideological extremism, cyberattacks, mounting social and political unrest and geopolitical imbalances.
Most of these systemic risks have become more disruptive and hazardous. And in most cases, they're now worsening faster. In other words, these risks are both amplifying in severity and accelerating in rate.
For instance, as the havoc wrought by Covid-19 shows, outbreaks of zoonotic viral disease are becoming more severe. They're also occurring more frequently.
Similarly, climate heating has both amplified and accelerated. We're seeing, too, a rapid rise in the severity and frequency of extreme events like droughts, floods, storms and heat waves, affecting billions of people and in turn multiplying population displacement, social instability and conflict, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.
Two factors are powerfully driving risk amplification and acceleration. First, the magnitude of humanity's resource consumption and pollution output is weakening the resilience of natural systems, worsening the risks of climate heating, biodiversity decline and zoonotic viral outbreaks. Second, vastly greater connectivity among our economic and social systems has sharply raised the volume and velocity of long-distance flows of materials, energy, and information, aggravating such risks as financial system instability, pandemics, economic inequality and ideological extremism.
The simultaneity of crises we're experiencing hints that something else is also happening — risk synchronization. Complex and largely unrecognized causal links among the world's economic, social and ecological systems may be causing many risks to go critical at nearly the same time. If so, the apparent simultaneity isn't just a temporary coincidence; it's likely to persist and could ultimately overwhelm the capacity of society to adapt, and push some places into outright collapse, as we may be witnessing right now in Haiti.
But we don't really know because, generally, experts at evaluating risk have deeply specialized and siloed knowledge — in economics, for example, or epidemiology. This knowledge rarely translates into detailed understandings of other systemic risks at play and how they might affect one another in turn. So, for example, while specialists in climate change's economic impacts know something about how climate heating aggravates economic inequality within and between societies, they know very little about how it impacts ideological extremism. And they give virtually no attention to the possibility that causation might operate in the reverse direction, too — that inequality and extremism might worsen climate heating.
Yet it's likely all these processes are now operating. Climate heating is harming people's health and causing weather disasters, affecting infrastructure and food production all over the planet. In poorer countries, these changes are constraining economic growth and widening existing economic inequalities. Lower growth and bigger inequalities, wherever they happen, intensify ideological extremism. And that extremism is likely making it harder to build national and international consensus around cutting greenhouse gas emissions, allowing the heating problem to steadily worsen.
These sorts of vicious cycles are what complexity scientists call self-reinforcing "positive feedbacks." We tend to see bits and pieces of a causal loop, but not the whole thing. For that reason, we urgently need to identify and monitor these feedbacks and ferret out those still unrecognized to establish whether they are synchronizing the world's systemic risks. Businesses do similar kinds of risk analysis by diagraming causal loops in the dynamic systems affecting them. In this case, the system is the planet itself. It goes back to the ecologist Barry Commoner's first rule of ecology — everything is connected to everything else — but with a crucial amendment: some kinds of connections matter a lot more than others.
We propose a worldwide scientific collaboration to identify the causal mechanisms operating among these risks. This collaboration would consist of a global consortium of nationally funded institutes. It would be dedicated, first, to studying mechanisms that are amplifying, accelerating and synchronizing global systemic risks and, second, to determining practical ways humanity might intervene. It would also look for ways these feedbacks might be harnessed to tip key economic, social, and ecological systems toward better outcomes.
This consortium would act as the international scientific complement to the Futures Lab proposed by the United Nations secretary general, António Guterres, which is intended to integrate humanity's "work around forecasting, megatrends and risks." And it would report regularly to both the participating governments and the global public with the explicit aim of galvanizing action to address the polycrisis.
It's vitally important to get this kind of initiative underway. "Business as usual," Mr. Guterres has warned, "could result in breakdown of the global order, into a world of perpetual crisis and winner-takes-all."

Reading the review again, I realized that it falls squarely in the main line of epic takedowns that begins with Mark Twain's "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses." This is a piece that was probably ruined for a lot of readers by being assigned to them in high school, but it deserves a fresh look: it really is one of the funniest and most valuable essays about writing we have, and I revisit it every couple of years. Like Amis, Twain begins by quoting some of his target's puffier critical encomiums: "The five tales reveal an extraordinary fullness of invention…The craft of the woodsman, the tricks of the trapper, all the delicate art of the forest were familiar to Cooper from his youth up." (In response, Twain proposes the following rule: "That crass stupidities shall not be played upon the reader as 'the craft of the woodsman, the delicate art of the forest' by either the author or the people in the tale.") Both Twain and Amis are eager to go after their subjects with a broadsword, but they're also alert to the nuances of language. For Amis, it's the subtle shading of pretension that creeps in when Harris writes "purchases" instead of "buys"; for Twain, it's the distinction between "verbal" and "oral," "precision" and "facility," "phenomena" and "marvels," "necessary" and "predetermined." His eighteen rules of writing, deduced in negative fashion from Cooper's novels, are still among the best ever assembled. He notes that one of the main requirements of storytelling is "that the personages in a tale shall be alive, except in the case of corpses, and that always the reader shall be able to tell the corpses from the others." Which, when you think about it, is even more relevant in Harris's case—although that's a subject for another post.

Whoever absorbs a work of art into himself goes through the same process as the artist who produced it—only he reverses the order of the process and increases its speed.
What's true of a chapter is also true of a larger section, except on a correspondingly grander scale. I've said before that when I start working on a novel, I usually know all of the major act breaks in advance, but that's only half correct: more accurately, I have a handful of big moments in mind, and I know enough about craft to want to structure the act breaks around them. A major turning point that occurs without propelling one section into another feels like a waste of energy. (Any good novel will have more than three or four turning points, of course, but you intuitively sense which ones deserve the most prominent positions, and build the rest of the story around them.) There are times, too, when I know that a section break ought to occur at a certain position, so the scene that leads into it has to be correspondingly built up. A moment of peril, a cliffhanger, a sudden surprise or revelation: these are the kinds of scenes that we've been taught to expect just before a section ends. Sometimes they can seem artificial, or like an outright cheat—as many viewers felt about the end of a recent episode of True Detective. But if you learn to honor those conventions, which evolved that way for a reason, while still meeting the demands of the story, you often end up with something better than you would have had otherwise. Which is really the only reason to think in terms of genre at all.
Note: This post is the fourteenth installment in my author's commentary for Eternal Empire, covering Chapter 15. You can read the previous installments here.
Yet as Borges says in "The Garden of Forking Paths: "Everything happens to a man precisely, precisely now. Centuries of centuries and only in the present do things happen." That's as true of fiction as it is of life, and for the most part, the past can't be allowed to overwhelm the story from one moment to the next. Most of us, after all, rarely reflect explicitly on the events of our own lives, once they've been buried deep enough: our memories shape us, but in subliminal ways, and just because our choices are influenced by the ones that came before doesn't mean we're aware of it. Stories of any complexity need to selectively impose the same kind of amnesia, both for realism's sake and as a strategy for managing information. (If anything, many of the protagonists in modernist fiction tend to be more aware of the past than is psychologically plausible: it's a convention of the genre, allowing the author to introduce material from before the story began, while gently departing from the way most of us actually think.) A show like The Vampire Diaries, which generates and discards an insane amount of plot, technically retains a memory of previous seasons, but employs it purely as a matter of convenience. If it can use it to justify the arbitrary moves of the characters in the current episode, great; if not, it's as if it never happened.
I've had to confront these problems repeatedly in my own work, and with mixed results, partially because I was learning so much of it on the fly. These were always going to be complicated novels: The Icon Thief was largely about complexity, with multiple plotlines and connections to the past, both factual and invented, and the next two books had to follow the same template. What I didn't fully anticipate was the extent to which they would have to deal with the history of the series, as well as their own burden of plot, and at times, the combination became close to unmanageable. It isn't as problematic in City of Exiles, which introduces a new setting and deliberately leaves a few threads unresolved. But Eternal Empire—which was conceived as a return to the characters and themes of the first book, as well as the conclusion of the series—always felt on the brink of collapsing under its own weight. I'm proud of the result, which I still think is the best novel I've published, but I'm also aware that it suffers from a miscalculation about how much of its past to include. It was meant to be novel that could stand on its own, as well a satisfying close to the trilogy, and I'm not sure it is. And given the chance to go back, I would have taken a page from other exemplars of series fiction, like Daniel Silva's excellent thrillers about Gabriel Allon, and made each book a little more self-contained.
If I were to recommend a single contemporary novelist as a good model for young writers to imitate, it would be Ian McEwan. Part of this is a matter of personal convenience: McEwan, in many ways, happens to represent the peak of the kind of writing toward which I'm constantly striving, and although I can't come close to him at his best, I'd like to think of him as the platonic ideal of my own approach to fiction. (For the record, I only discovered McEwan after many elements of my own style were already locked in place; I never consciously emulated him, but I realized after the fact that he was better at what I was doing than I was.) Even if you're writing in a different mode, there's a lot that he can teach aspiring authors who are still trying to find their own voices. McEwan's prose is stylish, elegant, but highly accessible: as T.S. Eliot said of Dante, if you imitate McEwan, you may end up with a boring sentence, but you won't make a fool out of yourself. He understands the value of research, and he's constantly expanding the range of experience about which he can credibly write. And while he's not an intensely personal author, his books reflect a consistent set of questions to which he repeatedly returns—the nature of storytelling, the uneasy relationship between the body and the mind, and the contrast between the ideas by which we try to live and the messiness of human interaction.
I just finished Sweet Tooth last week, and I think it's his strongest work of any kind since Atonement. It may, in fact, be a better book overall, and much of it reads as a return—in a slightly lighter vein—to some of the themes and strategies of that earlier novel. Both Atonement and Sweet Tooth are founded on sustained acts of literary ventriloquism: Atonement moved easily between the perspectives of characters of a variety of ages, genders, and social classes, and Sweet Tooth is partially an exercise in inhabiting the mind and life of a young woman in London in the 1970s. Since I've written frequently from a female point of view, this kind of thing interests me greatly, and McEwan pulls it off in a fashion that is both impressive and slightly showy. The homely details are laid in with a degree of care that I'm not sure we'd see in a female novelist, and the entire time, we're encouraged both to believe in Serena as a character and to marvel at McEwan's virtuosity as a writer. In another book, this might be a serious flaw, and as much as I enjoyed Sweet Tooth throughout, I was always conscious of the stylistic feat it was performing, which wasn't the case with Atonement. By the end, however, we realize that McEwan has been one step ahead of us the entire time, and in retrospect, the entire novel seems even more controlled and purposeful than we suspected.
That's the mark of a great writer, and I'll add one more quality to the mix: McEwan's humanity. That may seem like an unlikely attribute for a writer whose early books tended to excessive darkness, and whose truest precursor may be the gleefully macabre short fiction of Roald Dahl. Like many of us, though, McEwan has become gentler with time, and instead of a failure of nerve, it reflects a progressively more sympathetic understanding of human life. Sweet Tooth gives McEwan the opportunity to revisit some of his own tricks with the benefit of an additional decade's worth of experience, and within the confines of a genre that sometimes seems to have little more in mind than putting the reader through the wringer, his decisions—which I won't spoil here—are immensely gratifying. There are ways in which the ending of Sweet Tooth doesn't quite make sense, and it's a little too ingenious for its own good. Still, it's one that I'm happy to accept, both within the logic of the story and in the larger context of McEwan's growth as an author. He's so good at what he does that it's easy to be jealous of him, but he's also uncommonly generous at giving us the how as well as the what. This is what all fiction could be, if we had his patience, experience, and imagination, and if his most recent work is any indication, it's only going to get better from here.
When I made Rachel Wolfe a Mormon in The Icon Thief, I had no idea that she'd end up as the central figure in City of Exiles. At the time, as I've explained before, I saw it as a convenient way to give her a little more personality, and it provided me with just enough material to enliven a crucial supporting character. Later, when Wolfe was upgraded to the status of lead protagonist, I realized that there were a number of directions in which I could take this particular detail. I could simply retcon it out of existence, or, more reasonably, ignore it as something that wasn't relevant to the story; I could make her a lapsed Mormon, which might have been thematically interesting in itself; or I could embrace it, making Wolfe a devout Mormon who was unironically smart, admirable, and brave. When in doubt, I've learned to go with the idea that seems the most challenging, so I went with the final option. In practice, the novel splits the difference between the last two approaches: Wolfe is serious about the role of faith in her life, but she's also full of doubt, and although the result may not be as pure as it was in my head, it ended up being better for the novel as a whole, as well as more suited to my personality as a writer.
All the same, even if Wolfe was starting to question her religious assumptions, I wanted her to maintain the externals as much as possible. There are aspects of Mormonism that seemed utterly organic to her character as a straitlaced federal agent, and I tried to keep as many of these as I could: the teetotalling, the avoidance of debt, the lack of swearing. It also seemed appropriate to the concerns of the overall novel. City of Exiles is a crowded story with a dense web of themes, not all of them intuitively related, but they all tend to center on the idea of exile itself: national, spiritual, and emotional. Exiles often maintain a semblance of their old ways long after they've experienced a change of address, and it felt right that Wolfe would continue, for example, to pray every morning, although she's no longer sure if anybody is listening. She'll always be a stickler for structure, even as she learns to improvise her way around the obstacles the world presents, and it made sense to me that she'd continue to value the ways in which these traditions have shaped her life, long after she's left the country of the saints.
This is why I open Chapter 4 with the image of Wolfe on her knees, an unconscious echo of the kneeling body we saw earlier in the book. I still think it's a startling introduction: we've met Wolfe already, both in the previous novel and in a prior chapter, but this is her real debut as the heart of the story. Before long, we'll jump back into the plot, which has to cover a lot of ground, but first I wanted to give Wolfe a contemplative page or two to set up her personal journey. I dressed the set as carefully as I could with details that would hint at what her life has been like in London. She's living in a sterile extended stay apartment in Vauxhall, but there's a lump of bread dough rising on the counter—a nod, perhaps, to the way she was brought up, and also what strikes me now as an interesting bit of symbolism, although I didn't see it at the time. She walks to work along the Thames, which, with its muddy, depressing bank, counts as another way the city has failed to live up to her expectations. (I've walked the same stretch of the river.) And when she arrives at the office, she's faced with a choice: prolong a foundering investigation, or cut her losses and take what she can get now.
I became a suspense novelist by accident. As I've mentioned before, when I first started writing in a serious way, I was drawn less by a genre than by a general idea of the stories I wanted to tell and of how I wanted to spend my time. I wanted to write books set in the present day, and to craft stories that would allow me to explore aspects of the world I didn't know firsthand: for me, being a writer has always been an excuse to learn things, to read widely, to wander, and to put myself into places and situations far outside my own experience. I also love elaborate plots and layered structures, and I was particularly interested in the problem of momentum—of drawing the reader from first page to last in as seamless a way as possible. It was these factors, rather than an existing love of the form, that drew me to suspense, which sometimes seems like the last refuge in popular fiction of the qualities that matter to me the most: plot, ingenuity, detailed research, pacing, and an prolonged engagement with ideas and systems in the real world.
Suspense, of course, is a quality common to all fiction, popular and otherwise: John Updike has spoken of a novel's "obligation to generate suspense," and all good stories hinge on the reader's anticipation of what will happen next, either in the story itself or, more subtly, in the artistic decisions that the author makes. What fascinates me about suspense as a category is how it surrounds its primary obligation to engage the reader with secondary qualities that have emerged, over time, as elements that audiences have come to expect. There's the issue of violence, for instance, either explicit or implied, as well as the more important quality of anticipation. This goes hand in hand with a certain kind of verisimilitude, in which the author is expected to know the details of weapons and arms smuggling and other arcane facts that contribute less to the narrative itself than to its overall air of expertise. And thrillers tend to return to the same handful of cultures—law enforcement, organized crime, your choice of secret societies—that serve as a sort of scaffolding for a wide range of possible stories.
These were all things that I figured out after the fact, once I realized that suspense gave me the most useful set of tools for the kind of intricate, highly structured contemporary fiction I wanted to write. But since publishing The Icon Thief and City of Exiles and putting the finishing touches on Eternal Empire, I've started to think more clearly about the genre and its limitations, as well as its potential. On a superficial level, suspense seems like a category for grownups: it avoids the fantastic or paranormal in favor of stories that deliver what feels like real insight, or at least accurate research, about the world in which we live. Yet much suspense fiction is grounded not so much in reality as in a heightened version of it, which feeds us information in as artificial and calculated a way as any kind of worldbuilding. It differs from other genres primarily in that it takes pains to make its fictional world resemble the real one as much as possible, only more orderly and exciting. As a result, much of its interest comes from the way it pushes against the real world while still honoring the conventions of popular fiction.
And I still think the genre has enormous potential. The line between suspense and literary fiction is more porous than in most other categories: I've noted elsewhere that a writer like Ian McEwan is essentially a brilliant suspense novelist who is classified as a literary author because of his sheer talent, as well as his focus on everyday life. (You could say much the same about John le Carré, whose ascension was long delayed because of his commitment to the structures that I've mentioned above.) There's still a tremendous amount of freedom in the form: within the obligation to deliver action and surprises, an author has enormous latitude to explore, think, and play. Ideally, the conventions of suspense serve as a sort of machine for sustaining the reader's interest, and the future of the form lies with authors who can build beautiful clockwork toys—which is a tough problem in itself—while also realizing their potential to deliver challenging ideas and characters that would be harder to manage in a less structured story. It's certainly the genre in which I'm personally happiest. And at its best, its possibilities are limitless.


In the year 1949 Mrs. Hildegard Kuhn, the foundress and for many years the owner of the antiquarian bookshop, acquired several wooden boxes full of books published before the war at cost of about 80. - DM - at that time a large investment.
With this original allocation of equipment she started her comic and novel booklet kiosk in the bombed ruins of the Augsburgerstrasse 2, which soon became a point of attraction for old and young.
In the sixties Mrs. Kuhn moved into the house rebuilt at the same place and extended her assortment by books and paperbacks.
1998 the niece of the foundress, who left associated with old age, took over the exempt private company. Since that time it is named Antiquariat Carina Lugauer.
The antiquarian bookshop Carina Lugauer is situated centrally in the proximity of the Sendlinger-Tor-Platz in the Munich city centre. The stops of the undergrounds, trams and busses can be attained comfortably by walking.
On over 120sqm you can rummage in a large selection of rare and used books, paperbacks, novel booklets and comics. About 10.000 books, paperbacks and comics are listed and available over Internet; correspond to about 20% of total stocks at present.
We make sure that you find our offer always well sorted and clearly displayed. We do not only arrange the books according to subjects, but also generally according to authors in alphabetical order.
And if you look for something in particular, our shop assistants will be pleased to help you further.

The National Book Critics Circle presents a panel on "unlikeable" characters in contemporary fiction, featuring Zoë Heller, Elissa Schappell, J. Courtney Sullivan, and moderator Carmela Ciuraru.
The issue of whether characters in fiction should be likeable - and readers' and reviewers' resistance to unlikable characters - has gotten a lot of attention this year; especially, it seems, in regard to fiction written by women. What obligation, if any, do writers have toward their readers in creating sympathetic characters? How does "likeability" affect the writing of criticism, if at all? What is the role of empathy in fiction? Is it problematic or reasonable to read with the expectation of "identifying" or "relating to" the characters we encounter? What's so bad about a happy ending?
Zoë Heller is the author of three novels: Everything You Know, Notes on a Scandal (which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and adapted for film), and The Believers. She has written features and criticism for a wide range of publications, including The New Yorker, The New Republic and The New York Review of Books.
Elissa Schappell is a board member of the National Book Critics Circle. She is co-founder and editor at large of Tin House, as well as the author of two story collections: Blueprints for Building Better Girl and Use Me. She is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair.
J. Courtney Sullivan is the author of the New York Times bestselling novels Commencement, Maine, and The Engagements. Courtney's writing has also appeared in The New York Times Book Review, The Chicago Tribune, New York magazine, Elle, Glamour, Allure, Real Simple, and O: The Oprah Magazine, among many others. She is a co-editor, with Courtney Martin, of the essay anthology Click: When We Knew We Were Feminists.
Carmela Ciuraru (moderator) is a board member of the National Book Critics Circle. She is the author of Nom de Plume: A (Secret) History of Pseudonyms, and has edited a number of poetry anthologies for Alfred A. Knopf. She writes the "Newly Released" Books column for the New York Times. Her next book is forthcoming from HarperCollins in 2016.

Known as "The City of Four Seasons" and self-proclaimed as "The Friendliest City for Retirees", Hendersonville and Henderson countyare part of the four-county Asheville Metropolitan Statistical Area – the fifth largest MSA in North Carolina.
It's well-preserved Main Street and Downtown area is filled with restaurants, antique shops and numerous boutiques – especially since its revitilization in the early 1990′s. More recently, the town's historic "7th Avenue Commercial District" has seen redevelopment efforts. With it's 19th and 20th century architecture, funky boutiques, brewhouses, and restaurants, Hendersonville is quickly becoming a lower-priced alternative to Asheville.
Hendersonville is probably most well-known as the host city for the "North Carolina Apple Festival". This annual event, now in it's 66th year, draws up to 50,000 spectators, capping it's four-day run with the King Apple Parade!
Besides it's historic and appealing downtown area, Hendersonville also offers plenty of natural beauty. It's largest draw for outdoor lovers is Dupont State Forest. With over 10,000 acres and no less then 6 waterfalls, Dupont attracts visitors from all over the country – Hollywood too! The Last of the Mohicans and more recently, The Hunger Games have both filmed inside the Forest.
Just outside of Hendersonville lies Flat Rock, a small town with two big draws – The Flat Rock Playhouse and the Carl Sandburg home, Connemara.
Hendersonville offers plenty of choices for any lifestyle. For the urban set, you can choose a condo or an apartment smack in the center of downtown or in one of the many surrounding neighborhoods such as Five Points, Druid Hills and Hyman Avenue.
For those looking for something a bit more rural, you can choose from several small communities like Dana which is close to downtown orEdneyville where the majority of the counties apple farms reside.
For the golfer, Hendersonville is home to Champion Hills Country Club and Kenmure in Flat Rock. The par-71 course inside of Champion Hills was designed by Tom Fazio and is consistantly ranked as one of "North Carolina's 10 Best Golf Course" by Golf Digest while the par-72, Joe Lee-designed course of Kenmure was voted as one of the "Top 50″ by Golfweek.
As part of the Asheville MSA, Downtown Asheville is only a short drive from Hendersonville. Even shorter is the mountain lake town ofLake Lure and the quaint city of Brevard.
Public transportation comes in the form of the Apple Country Public Transit, a "dial-a-ride" service for Henderson County residents.
As mentioned previously, Hendersonville has become a lower-priced alternative to Asheville. Once known as a "retiree-only" destination,Hendersonville has begun to attract a younger crowd.
Like most places, the prices vary depending on where you are looking and what you are looking for. The median sale price in August for a modest home in Hendersonville was $117,000 according to Trulia. However, expect to pay "Asheville-like" prices for homes in more affluent areas such as Champion Hills and Hyman Avenue where prices start in the low $400k's and climb to over $3,000,000.
1-2 bedroom apartments close to downtown start at around $700/month while a townhome or condo will start around $900.
In 1902, Dr. Lucius B. Morse and his brothers purchased 64 acres around Chimney Rock for $5,000. They later acquired enough land to bring the total to 8,000 acres.
in 1925, the family created Carolina Mountain Power Company and began construction of a dam on the Broad River. What was born from this ambitious project was the town of Lake Lure.
Encompassing 720 acres and 27 miles of shoreline, Lake Lure enjoys its proximity to larger towns like Asheville and Charlotte. Within 100 miles of four states, it's a wonderful destination for water skiing, boating, fishing, golfing, and hiking.
Always intended to be a resort town, Lake Lure has played host to US Presidents, foreign dignitaries, authors, celebrities and the like.
Lake Lure has been used numerous times as a filming location for major motion pictures including My Fellow Americans, The Last of the Mohicans, and most famously, Dirty Dancing.
In 2006, Lake Lure was chosen as the location for the HGTV Dream Home where a lucky winner was given an incredible custom home and an SUV.
Recently, in July 2012, National Geographic Traveler chose Lake Lure as one of "7 American Classic Lake Escapes", citing "Lake Lure retains the unpretentious character and natural splendor that has attracted vacationers for more than 80 years".
Why, the lakefront of course! The location of the lake allows for both "big water" views and expansive vistas of Hickory Nut Gorge, Chimney Rock, and the surrounding mountains.
While Lake Lure has several small subdivisions and plenty of rural housing, the largest community is Rumbling Bald Resort on Lake Lure. Inside the 3,600 acre resort lies Fairfield Mountains-a gated, mixed-use community with two championship golf courses, a private beach and marina, restaurants, tennis courts, a pro shop, an spa and fitness center, and both an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Prepare to pay a one-time initiation fee of $5,000 and $2,129 yearly POA dues.
As we mentioned earlier, Lake Lure is in wonderful proximity to larger towns. Asheville is only a 45 minute drive. Charlotte is about an hour and fifteen minutes. Hendersonville is only 25 minutes and Greenville, South Carolina is around 45 minutes.
Much closer however is the small village of Chimney Rock, which is of course famous for its 315-foot monolith of the same name. The natural formation now resides in the newly-formed 4,531 acre Chimney Rock State Park. Below "the Rock", you'll find a charming village filled with shopping and restaurants.
While both Lake Lure and Chimney Rock offer modest accommodations, we'd recommend renting a lakefront home from a property management company like Lake Country Vacation Rentals.
Lake Lure has around 1,200 full-time residents. In the summer though, the population can balloon up to around 10,000. That's because many of the homes in the area are second or even third vacation homes. Because of the provenance of Lake Lure has always been a playground for the slightly more affluent, the real estate market was slower to be affected by the downtown. 2009 proved that no market was immune however, and sales began to drop sharply. Flash forward to 2012 – Lake Lure has now "market-corrected" and though prices have dropped considerably, sales are now returning to the area.
Non-waterfront single family homes start in the $170′s while non-waterfront condos start around the $140 mark. For those that want to be on the water (and let's face it, who wouldn't?), lakefront homes start in the $220′s and go all the way up to $2,650,000.

Last month, we partnered with Intel to work on a digital signage solution for Golden Village Cinemas.
The new digital signage system combines Signbox's leading digital signage software with an Intel Atom processor and Intel OPS technology. It replaces traditional, out-dated movie collaterals, like paper posters, plastic box office and candy bar signage, and text lights that were previously used to attract customers to the cinemas.
Earlier this year, City Square Mall, introduced a new "You Run the Cinema" theme. In order to meet this theme's requirements, Golden Village's signage system required a comprehensive makeover. The old system, which used a PC, involved lots of cabling and faced challenging maintenance and repairs. Signbox was brought in to implement a new, modern digital signage system with minimal wiring and maximum scalability.
The first step was to find screen technology that would best fit the new theme at City Square Mall and would help Golden Village engage with its customers. We opted for HD screens that would be able to showcase the latest Hollywood blockbusters in full definition.
We also needed a solution that could keep cord clutter to a minimum, reducing ongoing maintenance and costs. Golden Village required a scalable solution that would work in real-time and this is where Intel's Atom processor and OPS technology became vital.
Once we had found the appropriate digital signage solution, we needed to consider where to place each screen to maximize advertising and marketing potential. Finally, the installation of the digital signage system had to be simple enough to ensure that any future upgrades would be inexpensive and easy to make.
With the new system in place, Golden Village Cinemas has been able to increase their ticket sales, decrease costs, engage customers and meet City Square Mall's requirements.

APY Ch. 141: Meeting Shen Xitong
Shen Xitong straightened her skirt, brought out a small mirror and took a look at herself and smiled, such that when she went out, she returned to being that lady with a noble posture.
The dinner was at Shen family home. Shen Xitong called the house and said that she had an appointment with a friend for dinner in the evening and was not going home. Chu Yunrong didn't ask any more questions, but Shen Qian actually reached home before dinner.
Everyone was surprised to see Shen Qian coming back, but Chu Yunrong was the most surprised when she saw her husband, "A Qian, why didn't you give a call, if you were coming back today."
Shen Qian smiled warmly, even after so many years as a soldier, he was still as gentle as when he was younger, Shen Junyu's temper was actually more like him, but under the gentle appearance of Shen Junyu, there was also the cunning of a businessman.
"Dad." Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan called together, and Shen Qian responded with a smile.
"Uncle Fu." Shen Qian called out to Mr. Fu in a respectful tone, and then said hello to Mr. Shen.
"Let's eat first." Elder Shen said.
The family sat down for dinner, only then did Shen Qian realize that Shen Junyu and Shen Xitong were not around, "Where are Junyu and Xitong?"
"Junyu is working overtime tonight, and Xitong said that she had an appointment with a friend for dinner and won't come back." Chu Yunrong replied to him.
Charming VIP box.
The Young Master Shen who was said to be working overtime, was playing Mahjong with several people at the moment.
"Hey, I must say that your sister is really amazing. That was one crazy person." Han Yi threw a tile and said with a smile. He had watched the news reports and online videos. After watching it, he felt that he was right. Shen Qinglan was really impressive, as expected by Mr. Shen's personal training, her skill was neat and tidy.
Shen Junyu's face became very stinky, he glanced at Han Yi, and his tone was cold, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb."
Han Yi looked at him inexplicably, "What's the matter with you today, have you eaten dynamite?"
Shen Junyu stopped talking again.
The other people present were two brothers, Gu Yang and Gu Kai. Jiang Chenxi had a class tomorrow, so he did not come.
Gu Yang and Gu Kai haven't talked much, especially Gu Yang. Today's words were even more pitiful than ever before. Han Yi closed the door at Shen Junyu and looked up to see Gu Yang on the opposite side. Only then did he realize that he seemed to be especially silent tonight.
"Xiao Yang, you're not right today."
Gu Yang snorted, "I'm wrong, I'm fine."
Han Yi shook his head, "No, it's as if your voice is not in this box, what's going on today? It's not your style at all to be so quiet."
"Don't talk like I'm chatty." Gu Yang rolled his eyes.
Han Yi: …Aren't you?
In fact, what's wrong was not only Gu Yang, but also Gu Kai. Since they watched the video today, they knew that Fu Hengyi had actually come back. Although the main person in the video was Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi only had a profile view, but Gu Yang and Gu Kai still recognized him.
Thinking that they were the people who dragged Shen Qinglan to the race last time, and also provoked Shi Feng and got into a fight, their hearts were very empty, but Gu Kai usually had a cold face and didn't like to talk, so Han Yi didn't notice the difference.
If Fu Hengyi knew that they were pulling Shen Qinglan to do these things, their skins would be peeled off, how could they be concerned about Shen Qinglan's heroic deeds, not to mention, they had seen Shen Qinglan's skills at the racetrack last time.
The two of them were absent-minded all day, wanting to know if Fu Hengyi knew, but they didn't dare to call to ask, for fear that if he didn't know, they wouldn't expose themselves.
"Are you really okay?" Han Yi was suspicious, always feeling that Gu Yang was a little weird tonight.
"What can it be?" Gu Yang rolled his eyes again and threw out a tile.
"Huh." Shen Junyu's voice sounded. Gu Yang's face froze, and he looked at the mahjong table, only to find that he had just given a set to Shen Junyu together.
Han Yi gave him a look of "and you said you were fine".
After two rounds of play, Shen Junyu's mood did not improve at all, especially since there were two absent-minded guys on the table, who were almost pushing the table so he said, "No more."
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and began to puff. His face was covered by the smoke, clearly disappearing in the haze.
Han Yi also felt that proposing to play mahjong tonight was a wrong decision, and he didn't have the heart to play anymore. Like Shen Junyu, he took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, but didn't light it.
Shen Junyu smoked a cigarette, walked out, and said that he was going to the toilet, Han Yi glanced at the bathroom in the box, smiled and said nothing.
"It seems that our Master Shen's heart is sprouting." Han Yi only thought that the abnormality of Shen Junyu tonight was because of a certain woman, and the fact was indeed because of a certain woman, but it was not what he thought.
The Shen family had strict rules. Although Shen Junyu had been immersed in the shopping mall for many years and there were many beautiful suitors around him, but he had not had any scandals with any woman, and no woman had appeared by his side.
Gu Yang and Gu Kai were now full of worries as to whether Fu Hengyi knew or not. Where did they have the heart to accompany Han Yi to guess about this? Han Yi talked to himself for a while but felt that it was very boring, so he got up and walked out of the box. He went downstairs to the bar for a drink.
In the bar downstairs, Yu Xiaoxuan had rare free time today, so she wanted to come out to play. She originally wanted to call Shen Qinglan, but she thought that Fu Hengyi was back today, and the couple rarely saw each other. She was too embarrassed to disturb her and gave Fang Tong a call. On the phone, the woman turned out to be dating her boyfriend again.
Yu Xiaoxuan didn't want to go out with other people, so she came to the bar alone and was drinking at the bar when she ran into Shen Xitong unluckily.
After Shen Xitong and a group of friends had dinner, someone suggested coming to the bar, so everyone came over. Now that she had returned to China and had plans to develop in the country, she naturally wanted to communicate well with the young masters of the capital.
She had the identity and background of being the Shen family's daughter, no matter whether she was biological or not, everyone still needed to give her face for the sake of the Shen family.
Yu Xiaoxuan was sitting at the bar, Shen Xitong saw her as soon as she came in, remembering how Shen Qinglan humiliated her in front of them in the courtyard last time, she rolled her eyes and walked towards Yu Xiaoxuan.
"Isn't this my sister's friend? What's the name?" She tilted her head, as if trying to recall, "I'm sorry, I don't have a good memory, and I can't remember people who are not in our circle. The one who lives by their name."
As soon as her words came out, the three or four people who followed her understood that the relationship between this girl and Shen Xitong was not very good, and the background of this girl was also not good.
They were all daughters and young masters of some official or business families in the capital, but they were not comparable to Shen Xitong in terms of identity, so naturally they all followed her lead.
Editor: Poor GY and GK… they would really have their skin peeled if FH got to know about that… Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Investing In Real Estate Pdf Option To Buy: Often described as a lease-option, this approach enables capitalists to obtain homes without initially taking legal ownership. However, the investor will authorize a legal alternative to buy from the homeowner at a details rate in the future. In return, the investor rents out the residential property out on a lasting basis with a contract in place to acquire the building at a later date for a previously established quantity.
As an example, if you have an interest in acquiring a $200,000 home with a 10% deposit ($ 20,000) over Thirty Years with an interest rate of 4.3%, your month-to-month home loan settlement will certainly be $890.77. If $890.77 is out of your budget, after that you will need to decrease your acquisition rate up until you determine an array that permits you to live within your budget easily.
Essentially: Mortgage refinancing is when you change your existing home mortgage with a new one. The brand-new funding generally settles the old one. After that you'll have a brand-new rate of interest as well as a brand-new collection of terms. Ideally, the brand-new rate and terms would profit you in some way. That's the whole point of this process.
What To Offer On A Home Calculator Accept there are no wonders Frustratingly, drastic decreases are a gamble that does not constantly work. In the late 1990s, claims Rupert Sweeting, of Knight Frank, you might reduce the cost by 20 percent and still no person would buy your house and it is the same today. "Sadly, if the property gets on a low-grade street or there are things incorrect with it, damaging the price will not suffice in the present market," says Lindsay Cuthill, of Savills.
Obtaining A Home Loan Lending institution are similar to business financial institutions in regards to their services, but they are had by their members as opposed to by profit-seeking investors. Cooperative credit union are nonprofit organizations, indicating they pass their revenues along to their participants through reduced charges as well as loaning expenses and also far better client service.
As soon as the funding is accepted, the file is transferred to the closing as well as financing division and also a closing disclosure is prepared for your testimonial. The funding department notifies the broker and closing attorney of the approval and also verifies broker and closing charges. The closing lawyer then timetables a time for the debtor to authorize the loan paperwork.
This will certainly make your offer stick out amongst the crowd, specifically when handling financial institutions. Obviously I do not advise devising. If you can really shut in such a brief period of time, only connect this to the seller.


Accessing a particular entry of the database is normally performed by using its database entry number p (see figure below). However, entry numbers may change during the lifetime of a database (i.e. after deleting one or more entries). Consequently, they must not be used to set up relations between database entries. In order to have a reliable, never-changing and unique key to the data in the database, each new entry automatically receives an item ID (parameter ItemID) which can be used to access a particular database entry even when the entry number has changed.
Hint: Please note that SearchForItemID performs a binary search in the index of item IDs (array IxItemID). Thus, searching an item ID is extremely fast and requires only very little time even in large databases with millions of entries.


If you have come to our website, you may be experiencing some form of human suffering. Whether it is feeling extreme anxiety due to a fear of others' judgments, depression due to constant self critical thoughts, or difficulty with relationships inside and outside the family, these problems can make life hard to live. The video below documents some real people's struggles with such issues.
Fortunately, modern psychological science has studied many of these forms of suffering and developed effective treatments for many conditions. Some of the most potent forms of treatment use something called mindfulness within the treatment approach.
In essence, mindfulness is with you right now. It is the part of you that sees the words on the screen, hears the words you read in your mind, and notices your breathing and movements of your breath in your body. It is an ever-present aspect of your experience that can be further enhanced through mindfulness exercises and practices.
At The Mindful Center for Individual, Couple, and Family Therapy, we incorporate mindfulness as a central feature of the treatment we provide, quite simply because it works and has been shown to work in many scientific studies. However, we also understand that many forms of suffering can be quite complex and at times, hard to treat. Therefore we also emphasize a non-judgmental, compassionate, empathic relationship as a foundation of change with other scientifically supported methods such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and other leading edge therapies to provide you with the most effective forms of treatment today.
Feel free to contact us in order to set up a free phone consultation to discuss treatment with one of our clinicians.

Richard R. Maggio, "Ricky", age 55 of Royal Palm Beach, Florida, formerly of Wayne, died on Thursday, March 5, 2009.
He was born in Paterson and lived in Wayne for most of his life. He graduated from Wayne Valley High School, where he had played football and was a skier, with the class of 1972. He later graduated from New Jersey Institute of Technology with an Associate's degree in Engineering. He was employed with Steamfitters Local 274 in Jersey City for nearly twenty four years before moving to Florida in 1998. He has since been working as a construction manager with his brother, Ronald, in Florida.
Richard was also a proud member of the Preakness Volunteer Fire Company #4 in Wayne for many years before he moved to Florida.
Richard was an avid fisherman and truly enjoyed all the fishing opportunities that Florida had to offer. He had fished all over, including Cape Cod, shark fishing out of Montauk, and the Florida Keys. As a boy, he spent his summer vacation on LBI, in Surf City, which is where he probably picked up his love for surfing too. He was extremely intelligent, could fix just about anything, and would gladly help anyone in need. Richard was always the 'life of the party' and he sure knew how to enjoy himself. He recently said to his brother; "I've lived life my way and it doesn't owe me anything."
Richard is survived by his daughter Ashley and her mother Susan C. Maggio of Mertztown, PA, his parents; Thomas and Evelyn Maggio of Wayne, one sister; Donna Maggio-Ash and her husband William of Wayne, two brothers; Thomas Maggio of Wayne and Ronald Maggio and his wife Susan of Wellington, FL, and many nieces, nephews, and close friends.

In loving memory of Raymond Maksuta
who lost his battle with colon cancer in 1994.
Ray was a very caring and loving individual. He was very knowledgeable about the origins of any type of wine and could tell you information about that wine down to what type of wooden barrel or what type of grapes the wine was made from. Besides his first love of wine, he was an accomplished guitar player. He loved the blues long before it became popular– certainly a man before his time. A serious man at times, in a moments notice he could turn into a jokester. Although he may be gone from our sight he is never gone from our hearts.

Jill Newton moved to Colorado shortly after graduating from Wayne Valley High School. Other than a short stay in San Francisco, Jill lived in Colorado the rest of her life. She loved the mountains. Jill was a fabulous snow skier; she enjoyed white water rafting, and hiking. She, of course, was also a very loving mother.
Not only was she beautiful, but also probably one of the brightest people I have ever met. Her memory was photographic and often the conversation at the office. If anyone couldn't find a project number from a job 10 years earlier…"just ask Jill" was usually the next approach. She knew every employees social security number by heart (there were 20 or 30 employees).
Most of all, Jill was loved. Not everybody loved Jill, but her close friends, family and husband loved her, admired her, and were dedicated to her completely. This was true because she loved and dedicated herself, in a healthy way, to her close knit group of family and friends.
The world was a better place because of Jill, and her absence from this planet is still very much recognized.

Q: How to Retrive Username from database unity then add Automatic login I want to make a login system and automatic login after login:

*

*login from Google then retrieve username.

*guest mode but retrieve the username from the firebase database.

I have 2 scenes on Unity scene no.1 is about login system and no.2 The game main menu. What I want from the scene no.1 is after they log in there will be username at the scene no.2. and if I exit the game then I open the app again will be automated login.
I have tried to retrieve but the username not changed,here the script.
SignManager.cs
public class SignManager : MonoBehaviour
{
public InputField nameText;
public static string playerName;
public static SignManager signManager;

User user = new User();

private void Awake()
{
    if (signManager != null)
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
    else
    {
        signManager = this;
        DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
    }
}

public void onSubmit()
{
    playerName = nameText.text;
    posttodatabase();
}

public void posttodatabase()
{
    User user = new User();
    RestClient.Put("https://recruiter-wars.firebaseio.com/" + playerName + ".json", user);
    SceneManager.LoadScene("Demo");
}

Retrieve.cs
User user = new User();

public Text namePlayer;
public static string playerName;

private void Start()
{
    RetrieveFromDatabase();
}

public void getUser()
{
    playerName = namePlayer.text;
}

public void RetrieveFromDatabase()
{
    RestClient.Get<User>("https://recruiter-wars.firebaseio.com/" + namePlayer + ".json").Then(ResponseHelper =>
    {
        user = ResponseHelper;
        getUser();
    });
}

im using RestClient for this

A: You generally shouldn't do this. The path to your realtime database will be public knowledge to anyone who downloads your game. Although you can use rules to secure it, typically you use the user id from Firebase Authentication is used to do so as it will be securely passed around with any database operation from the standard SDK.
With that said, I can tell you how I would accomplish what you want with the official Firebase SDK then give you hints that might help you with a third party rest-based client (I haven't used FirebaseREST myself).
For the Firebase Unity SDK, I would use Firebase Authentication for this entire flow. I'm mostly following along with this.
Before you do anything, you will need to call FirebaseApp.CheckAndFixDependenciesAsync(). I would use a continuation to ensure this succeeds. You only have to do it once per run of your game, but calling it multiple times won't hurt you more than the brief performance spikes it may cause:
async InitFirebase() {
    var result = await FirebaseApp.CheckAndFixDependenciesAsync();
    if (result == DependencyStatus.Available) {
        // do Firebase stuff here
    }
}

Logging in is as simple as:
var auth = FirebaseAuth.DefaultInstance;
var credential = Firebase.Auth.GoogleAuthProvider.GetCredential(googleIdToken, googleAccessToken);
var user = await auth.SignInWithCredentialAsync(credential);

If you want the Firebase user in a new scene, or even a new launch of the game, you can call:
var user = FirebaseAuth.DefaultInstance.CurrentUser;

If this is null you have to sign in again.
What's happening under the hood is that you pass user credentials in to the Firebase Authentication SDK. You can create or log in a user in your Firebase project there, and you get back a Firebase id token and a Firebase refresh token (you can get a little insight into this process here and here).
The ID token is short lived (~1hr), but the refresh is valid until some event happens (ex: a user is deleted or disabled). You can choose to store this token in something like the Unity PlayerPrefs (although you might want to be careful with it) and try to refresh the token the next time you launch the game. This will be way more secure than just reading a value from a database before authenticating a user.
If you want to persist the ID token between scenes, you can also try storing this in the PlayerPrefs. I would prefer a ScriptableObject with a public property you can cache it in for the current run of your game, but that's up to your own preferences around persisting data between scenes (a MonoBehaviour singleton marked DontDestoryOnLoad will work just as well for example).
I would recommend using the official Unity Auth SDK if you can. This is one of the Firebase products that works on desktop and mobile.

This app is there to let you as a traveler the nearest wireless connection location. This is arrived at by doing a thorough scan of the surrounding you will be at a specific time and check through a database of millions of hotspots that have been at that time been updated by the users of this app.
This app will also include any other password that you will require. You will be shown any free version networks that are within a little some miles away from your search or current location. On the other hand, for the paid versions, you will be required to download the whole city's Wi–Fi maps in advance so that you will use it while offline.
This is another great and popular traveling apps you need to consider having before you set off for a vacation. This will help in making the first track on even those complex itineraries without you doing a manual search in details of every hotel, flight or car rental.
If for instance, you made your booking online, all you will do is forwarding the confirmation email. This app in most cases will reorganize and updating your itinerary is automatically done. Once you are done, you need to start the app and allow it to download some of the latest updates. After the downloading process has been completed, you have an opportunity of accessing your itinerary even while offline.
This is actually the best and easy to use mobile navigation app that exists. All you will need as a traveler is internet connection so that you will find new locations. With it, you can also save many different maps to use them later when you go offline. The GPS in our phones works even without the signal of the cell and a person can get public transit and driving directions without an internet connection.
This app is important in breaking language barrier problems as travelers normally travel to new places. How is it used? All you just need is typing the specific words you seem not to understand and pick a target language you will need the words translated to. The most important thing with the app is that you can download your language pack in advance. What this entire means is that you can have the translation done even without being connected to the internet.
This is another app that has left pleasant memories. For those planning for a trip anywhere, you need to rent a car that will lend to the best possible experience. With the use of this app, you will come across many different car models where you will choose the car of your taste.
