Who's Afraid of Killer Robots?
Two recent DARPA projects have sparked fears about killer robots, machines that can decide whether to engage a target without human oversight.
By: J. X. Seaton

The terrifying prospect of killer robots has been making headlines lately. Two recent projects from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) have sparked fears of machines that can decide whether to engage a target without human oversight. The first project, the Fast Lightweight Autonomy (FLA) program, aims to create drones that can maneuver through complex environments without human input, relying instead on sensor data.
The second project, Collaborative Operations in Denied Environment (CODE), aims to improve the bandwidth and efficiency of air attacks. DARPA aims to create aircraft that can complete a mission despite communications interruptions, needing as little as one human supervisor (as opposed to the usual dedicated pilot and sensor operator and team of analysts). This feat will be accomplished through collaborative autonomy, which allows a group of drones to share and evaluate information. The drones can then assess the situation as a group and compare the conditions to programmed rules of engagement. Alone, both projects are fairly innocuous, but together, they have the potential to create robots that can fly around without human input engaging targets.
Who will be held accountable for wrongful deaths caused by these killer robots?
These projects prompted Human Rights Watch to release a report called "Mind the Gap: The Lack of Accountability for Killer Robots." The crux of the report's argument is accountability. Who will be held accountable for wrongful deaths caused by these killer robots? This argument, however, is based on the notion that we people accountable in war. As Princeton University professor Robert Keohane pointed out in his article Abuse of Power: Assessing Accountability in World Politics: "All doubters have to do is look at the abuses committed in Abu Ghraib prison and the conditions of the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and reconcile it with the fact that no high-level U.S. officials have been held accountable for the policies that enabled or even facilitated these violations of presidential pledges and international law."
Putting that controversial debate aside, even still there is the logistical difficulty of trying to define "killer robot." In the broadest sense, a robot is a machine that can complete complex tasks. A stricter definition of robot narrows it further: "a programmable, self-controlled device consisting of electronic, electrical, or mechanical units." However, even this definition leads us into trouble. Take telephone operators, for example. We used to rely on people to connect our phone calls to the appropriate person, now a machine does that for us. This new system is programmed, self-controlled, and electrical. But calling a modern switch board is a robot just doesn't feel right. In fact, it is hard to decide what a robot is without relying on imagery from science fiction. Which is fair, since science fiction is where the notion of a robot comes from.
The word robot derives from the fictional word "robota" (translated as "forced labor"), a term invented by Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. The play depicted robota as human-like: capable of completing human tasks, but soulless. It is a dystopian tale of the rise of robots and humanity's destruction. The moral of the story is that the human quest for a life of leisure and luxury will result in a greedy society, one that will not work together to save the human race from extinction.
Perhaps the modern idea of a robot is still tied to its literary past. We are far more comfortable labeling human-like machines robots. Could it be that our fear of robots is also linked to literary imagination and not the technical reality?
A further complication is whether killer robots really are autonomous. All robot behavior is rule-based, governed by programming. The CODE robots, for example, rely on military rules of engagement to decide when to engage a target. The robot itself does not make the determination; rather, humans created and carefully crafted the rules that govern the robot's actions. Although Human Rights Watch argued that the problem was the robots' autonomy, they were, paradoxically, also concerned that robots would be dangerous because they wouldn't use human judgment. If this is the true concern, shouldn't we support more development in human-like artificial intelligence?
In 1978, the danger on the horizon was Space Weapons. Preventing an arms race in space had many of the same challenges as preventing killer robots. It was difficult to define "space," "peaceful uses," and "force," to name a few of the challenging concepts from that debate. Further, it was possible for research in the field to progress without creating a weapon. Preventing space weapons entirely would require preventing advancement of space technologies that could lead to space space weapons, not just preventing weapon development specifically. Similarly, to prevent killer robots, many lines of development in artificial intelligence would need to stop. It is unlikely that we will.
It might be beneficial to adopt a suffocation approach, which aims to identify the key technologies needed to weaponize technological developments and prohibit developments in those areas. This could halt serious development efforts aimed at creating killer robots. However, it is possible that it will be too difficult to identify precursor technologies, or that the technology will be too valuable to ban. Therefore, it might be best instead to concentrate our efforts on banning the application of such technologies to warfare.
However, we might also ask: haven't killer robots existed for some time now? Take guided missiles, for example. The Joint Direct Attack Munition is considered a "smart weapon." These missiles use the GPS locations of their targets to guide themselves, with a margin of error of 40 feet. This new technology was an improvement over older systems, which relied on heat signatures for marking targets, unreliable in poor weather conditions. This is a programmable, self-controlled, electronic machine that kills people; therefore, it could be considered a killer robot. Yet we aren't panicked.
The debate is sure to continue. However, what's most noteworthy is the obvious question that has been carefully been excluded from the discourse. Why is alright for a human to decides to kill another human? It is unlikely that we will make meaningful progress towards stopping the progression of horrific weapons, killer robots capable of torture and destruction, if we are unwilling to examine questions of human dignity, inequality, and power.

Coney Island street co-named after folk singer Woody Guthrie
By Paul Frangipane	• June 25, 2019 @ 10:41 am
ebrooklyn media/Photos by Paul Frangipane
Woody Guthrie's son Arlo held up a sign for Woody Guthrie Way, standing on the same block he grew up on.
There was a Guthrie family reunion on Mermaid Avenue and West 35th Street in Coney Island Saturday morning, June 22, when the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of iconic folk singer Woody Guthrie met to see a stretch of the street named in his honor.
Guthrie, best known for this song "This Land is Your Land" and a sign taped to his guitar that read "This Machine Kills Fascists," moved with his wife to a one-bedroom, $35-a-month apartment a block away in 1943. During his seven years living there, he raised a family, wrote and recorded at least 150 songs, and embedded himself into the local community.
"I love that we are being able to celebrate a little moment that has to do with what he did here and who he was," said Arlo Guthrie, Woody's son and fellow folk artist.
Arlo Guthrie said the stretch of Mermaid Avenue between West 35th and 36th streets wasn't co-named because of his father's musical career, but because of the life he led.
He reminisced about times when the singer would bring the family to Nathan's to grab breakfast.
"We ate French fries; that was our breakfast," Arlo Guthrie said.
And on the way back home, Arlo said his father would stop to speak with as many of the locals as possible.
"He would stop and talk to every person," he said. "Every cop, every garbage guy, every old lady sitting out on the street, every grocer, everybody."
"This is home, sweet home to us so one of the really lovely personal things about this whole event is that we were born and raised here on this street," Nora Guthrie said.
The singer's daughter and president of Woody Guthrie Publications, said her father believed that all you can write about is what you see, and so he wrote about the regular people that lived in the neighborhood.
But in addition to being a voice for the people, he's regarded as never being afraid to take a stand against the world's injustices, inserting politically-charged lyrics into his songs.
"I think it speaks volumes to the fact that Woody chose to use his gifts and talents and his abilities to turn them into not just song, but into a platform, into social, economic, racial, political justice," said Councilmember Mark Treyger, who represents the area and who hosted the street co-naming. "His work, his legacy, his impact will be felt for generations to come."

This is me calling you out for all these built up superstitions.
They haunt me now and then.
I would cross a thousand seas.
And in our perfect world you would wait at the other side.
I know that you, you'll follow up with all the answers if you were there for me at all.
This is the way that I can't describe anything I've felt for a while.
It's just a little too much to take.
So tell me what would you have to say for asking who you really are.
Oh god, I want to know just a little truth down here.
I would write a thousand songs and sing them all to you.
You know you wouldn't have to say a thing.
So enough with everyone else's words.
It's just a sign that nothing makes sense to me.
See I'd cut you just to watch you bleed.
It's the only way to make you see you're never there for me.
You're never there for me at all.

Jigsaw Puzzles and Guinness World Records (A Pictorial Blog)
Buhay Batangas May 16, 2013 Culture, Travel
Some things just leave you speechless. For instance, 1,028 jigsaw puzzles. No, we're not even talking about your idiot-friendly off-the-shelf jigsaws which even the intellectually challenged can complete while chewing butong pakwan.
How about a jigsaw with 32,000 pieces which when completed can adorn an entire wall as a work of art? Or 4D jigsaws of famous cities and their landmarks? Frankly, I didn't even know they made those.
Well, you can see all of these at the Puzzle Mansion, something of a theme-park-cum-resort-cum-museum owned by Georgina Gil-Lacuna, who was recently awarded a Guinness World Record Certificate for having completed the most number of jigsaw puzzles in the entire world.
Gil-Lacuna's collection, we were told by a very accommodating museum assistant, beat the previous record held by a Brazilian enthusiast by over 200 jigsaws. And she is working on more.
When she does, the chatty assistant continued, she would go for hours on end trying to put the pieces together, hardly even pausing to eat, rest or sleep. Oh, I know the type, I told the assistant.
It's an artist at work.
The puzzles, mind, arrive in large boxes with the pieces of the jigsaws stuffed into several plastic bags inside their boxes depending on the size of each jigsaw. Pretty awesome, actually; and not for those not blessed with patience.
These are then all placed on a long table on which Gil-Lacuna patiently and methodically sifts through the pieces to determine which goes where. It's not for everyone; that much I can say.
When done, the jigsaw finds pride of place inside the museum. Each jigsaw is conveniently labeled with the number of pieces as well as the number of hours it took Gil-Lacuna to complete it.
Puzzle Mansion is not easy to find. It's off-road in Tagaytay City; and that is putting it lightly. Anyone going there will be better served just looking for the tarpaulin signs than asking for directions. These signs will be easier to spot coming from Nasugbu rather than Manila.
There is a PHP 100 entrance fee; but I think this is really dirt cheap considering the number of puzzles to gawk at. If you are the thorough sort and wish to examine each puzzle carefully, then you will need a few hours.
For those who are just looking for a peaceful getaway with a different twist, the museum also offers bed and breakfast. There is also a swimming pool to dip in and a garden to explore.
And this is not a paid advert. I just thought the place was awesome.

Texas Removes Bachelor's Program for Female Inmates But Not For Male Inmates

Posted By: Lawyer X July 16, 2018
By 2020, Texas Department of Criminal Justice will eliminate all bachelor's degree programs for female inmates. The four-year degree programs offered by Texas A&M University-Central Texas quietly stopped taking new female students back in 2017. The program offered three bachelor's degrees for female inmates, one in business administration and two in liberal arts.
Male inmates can choose between several bachelor's degree programs, one master's degree program, and certifications for welding, carpentry, and computer technology. Male inmates get to choose from a list of 21 professions.
This move widens the gap of educational opportunities between male and female inmates incarcerated in TDCJ prisons.
TDCJ spokesman Jeremy Desel stated TDCJ is working to save the program. However, he only said this after being peppered with questions on why just the women's degree programs were being eliminated. He was quick to point out that women had other educational opportunities through technical courses, job certifications, and rehab options. Mr. Desel neglected to say, or maybe he didn't know, that female inmates have extremely limited access to these programs.
It is not clear how many students would miss out on the four-year degree programs once the program ends.
Lindsey Linder, an attorney who authored a report on The Treatment of Women in Texas' Criminal Justice System in April of 2018 for the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition, stated that the female inmate population has increased fourfold since 1993 and the gender disparities have widened dramatically.
Women are already behind the curve in salaries and education. Removing access to an education for incarcerated women only creates more problems and does nothing to reduce recidivism.
If you have a loved one eligible for parole, we suggest you take a look at our book How to Prepare a Texas Parole Packet. The book provides easy to follow instructions and forms for creating a Texas parole package.
How to Prepare a Texas Parole Packet is available in ebook format as an instant download or in bundled form with an ebook and a printed book to be sent to an offender in prison. Since we are an approved vendor there are no issues receiving our books at any of the Texas jails or prisons.

There was an article about the 100 snowflake wreaths that will soon be displayed on lampposts in the city (�Snowflakes to land downtown,� Sunday Telegram, Nov. 14). As I read about the work that was performed by the Worcester Technical High School students to achieve this accomplishment, I realized that the sheet metal technology students were left out of the reporting. Kevin Casavoy, of the welding department, and I spoke to the reporter and told him that it was a collaborative effort by the welding and sheet metal technology departments. Without the sheet metal technology department there would be no chance of getting the wreaths done. Some 1,100 snowflakes of different sizes and shapes were burned out on the sheet metal technology computerized plasma cutting machine and sanded smooth by both departments. One hundred aluminum hoops were rolled and 200 brackets to fit the poles were fabricated by the sheet metal students.
I was disappointed for the sheet metal students who worked hard with pride and purpose, producing a project that was to be appreciated by all who see them this Christmas and future Christmas seasons, the dream of City Manager Michael O�Brien. Hopefully reporters will in the future consider all those who may be involved.


We hear it from virtually everyone that our children need to drink more water. Yet more often than not, no one can give tips on how to get our children to drink more water. When my oldest son was around 3 years old, we had to take him to the emergency room because he had rectal prolapse. Thankfully, it wasn't major and was able to correct itself before the doctor even saw him, but his pediatrician told his father and I to make him drink more water. He is 3. How is it even possible to MAKE him do anything, let alone drink more water?
Yes, I can leave it in his cup and let it sit there all day, but why would I not give him something I know he will drink so he will stay hydrated? Well, that obviously wasn't working like I thought it would. I knew he was drinking too much pop and too many sugary drinks, but how was I supposed to get him to drink more water? I've tried the flavor drops in the water and stopping sugary drinks cold turkey in the past and it didn't work. I think it hurt me more than it did my kids.
So, I finally decided I was going to do what I felt worked for my family. It may not have been the healthiest way to go but it worked for us. Instead of letting the kids drink Dr. Pepper and sweet tea all day, I had to figure out a way to incorporate more water into their daily diet. So for every can of pop they had, they had to drink one bottle of water. I started out with the small bottles of water since they're kid-sized.
Trust me, it wasn't easy; there were times I wanted to give in because I was worried that they weren't getting enough to drink. But I had to ask myself, "How will that can of pop help? It will just make things worse in the long run." My advice is to stay strong and firm on your decision. It's not always easy but in the end, it's worth it!
After a couple of weeks of doing this (and yes, I mean a couple of weeks) all of my kids, including my 2-year-old and my bonus daughter (I don't like the term "step"), now ask me if they can have a bottle of water when they are thirsty! It makes this momma smile ear to ear! (Don't get me wrong, they still get a pop or glass of tea every now and then) .

Montague Burton Flats were built in 1990, and comprise an enclosed site of 13 blocks with a total of 483 student bedrooms arranged in 97 x 5 bed cluster flats (2 flats are DDA adapted with 4 beds). All flats are practically identical but the number of flats per block varies throughout the site. The table below shows the number of existing flats and bedrooms, along with the proposed number of bedrooms. The approximate gross internal floor area for all blocks is 9,500m². The project will comprise the refurbishment of all blocks at the Montague Burton Residences over a 3 year period. The aim is to create more social space for students by converting the existing 5 bedroom flats into either one large 9 bedroom flat (combining 2 Nr flats) or one 4 bedroom flat.

8 August 2014/ Issue No. 31
UPDATE 16.30hrs
Palestinians flee homes as truce ends. Over 220,000 IDPs in 89 UNRWA shelters (up by almost 50,000 on 7 August 2014, 08.00hrs.
The temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip expired this morning 08:00 hrs, as no deal was reached in the Egypt mediated talks.
In the early evening hours of 7 August, Palestinians started fleeing their homes to find shelter in UNRWA schools in the North, Gaza City and Khan Younis. With no glimmer of hope in sight, Palestinians feared the talks would fail and shelling to resume. Gazans are terrified and fear the worst is still to come. UNRWA will continue providing refuge and humanitarian aid to all Palestinians impacted by the hostilities. Due to the massive influx into the shelters overnight and early this morning, there are no updated IDP figures available. Registration will continue throughout the day.
With no end in sight to the hostilities, UNRWA is continuing to work to find solutions to address pressing hygiene and health issues in the shelters. Today, in cooperation with UNICEF, UNRWA is planning to launch a hygiene and water campaign which is designed to make IDPs aware of, and take responsibility for, helping to promote clean shelters to prevent a large scale outbreak of diseases, such as water-borne infections and scabies. As a complement to the hygiene and water campaign, UNRWA also strives to improve health care and surveillance in the shelters. Health teams in the shelters will report on nine health issues of concern (diarrhea for example) on a daily basis to assist in early detection of problems and prevent large scale outbreaks. These initiatives are rolled out amongst incredible challenges, including insufficient access to non-potable water, a potential resumption of violence and the high number of IDPs in UNRWA shelters.
This war has shown that nobody and nothing is safe in Gaza. As reported earlier on, five UNRWA emergency shelters were subject to direct kinetic attacks by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). According to information provided by the Protection Cluster, 20 Palestinians were killed in the attack on the Jabalia Elementary Girls School A & B on 30 July 2014. The attack on Beit Hanoun Elementary Co-ed School A & D on 24 July caused 11 fatalities. The missile strike next to an UNRWA shelter in Rafah killed 10 Palestinians on 3 August. The coordinates and joint coordination map references were communicated to the IDF on multiple occasions.
Rescue and medical teams continued recovering bodies. The cumulative death toll among Palestinians stands at 1,922, with 32 new fatalities reported. Of the new reported fatalities, 11 are children and 8 are women.
In UN missions around the globe, UN flags were flying at half-mast on Thursday in memory of the eleven UNRWA colleagues who were killed during the one-month military escalation. A moment of silence was observed by UN staff members in memory of their Palestinian colleagues.
Past 24 hours: Delegations from Palestine and Israel continued the Cairo talks to reach an extension of the temporary ceasefire in view of a more permanent solution. The temporary ceasefire expired this morning 08:00 hrs, with no agreement reached. Since Wednesday 6 August, it was reported that the Israeli side was ready to extend the temporary ceasefire beyond 8 August 08:00hrs. The Palestinian delegation insisted that the eight year long blockade on Gaza must be lifted and that an agreement needs to be reached over the border crossings, the airport and the seaport. The Israeli side requested that any such agreement, as well as the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, would be discussed at a later stage.
In the afternoon of 7 August, a Hamas -staged demonstration was held in Gaza City in support of the Palestinian envoys. Hamas' military wing, the Qassam Brigades, announced they remained on high alert and were ready to resume fighting. It was reported that in the early morning hours, before the temporary ceasefire expired, militants fired two mortars from the Southern Gaza Strip into Israel. However, the Gaza police and Hamas denied the incident.
In a statement on 7 August, the United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in the oPt, James Rawley, said a continued halt in violence was essential for a humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip. With due regard to security concerns, an agreement to lift the restrictions on movement of people and goods that Israel has put in place for the last seven years was critical to address people's needs in the short and longer-term. "Without the full lifting of the blockade of the Gaza Strip, Palestinians in Gaza will continue to be deprived of any sense of a normal life and the massive reconstruction effort now required will be impossible," said Mr. Rawley.
With the temporary ceasefire holding, UNMAS on 7 August continued clearing UNRWA installations, including two distribution centers in Beit Hanoun and Deir El Balah, the Gaza City and Beit Hanoun Health Centers, the Relief and Social Services Office in Beit Hanoun, and four schools. Subsequent to UNMAS clearance, provided there is an end to hostilities, UNRWA engineers will assess damage, and begin to effect repairs to the buildings.
Today, UNRWA will launch a hygiene and water campaign in all operating shelters. The campaign is designed to ensure that IDPs are aware of and take responsibility for helping to promote clean shelters and prevent any major health issues, such as for example water-borne diseases and scabies. In cooperation with UNICEF, UNRWA will distribute posters for all rooms, toilets and water points to initiate a behavior change campaign, to be followed closely by the training of thirty volunteer medical students on best practice regarding sanitation and water use in emergencies. The volunteers will train existing water and environment focal points at shelters and UNRWA's Job Creation Programme workers. This team will then select and train hygiene and water committees, including on local monitoring of tap water use. The committees will comprise IDPs at each shelter and consist of two women, two men and four youth – two girls and two boys. The IDP committees will be tasked with advocating on these issues with all IDPs.
14 of 21 health centers were operating. 86 per cent of the staff reported to work, and 21,909 patients were served, representing a 12 per cent increase on 6 August. As a complement to the hygiene and water campaign, UNRWA also strives to improve surveillance in the shelter. Health teams in the shelters will report on nine health issues of concern (diarrhea for example) on a daily basis. With the shelters cramped, and widespread fear and anxiety amongst Gazans, UNRWA is also concerned that an outbreak of any disease might cause major panic amongst shelter residents. UNRWA also continues to work with UN partners and local NGOs, including for example the Sharek Youth Forum, to provide psychological and psychosocial support to adults and children.
Over the reporting period, UNRWA delivered 35 truckloads of NFIs as well as 95 truckloads of food to shelters. Food to shelters is provided in cooperation with WFP.
UNRWA's food distribution to a total caseload of over 830,000 beneficiaries continued. Food rations were provided to 4,150 families through UNRWA distribution centers.
UNRWA, in cooperation with partners and donors, continued to distribute both potable and non-potable water to 90 UNRWA emergency shelters across the Gaza Strip and 8 government shelters in the North. Over the reporting period, 517 cubic meters of potable water were trucked to UNRWA shelters, bringing the potable water supply to about 2.7 liters per person per day, excluding bottled water supplied through partners to shelters where no sufficient water supply was provided through trucks. The Middle Area and Rafah potable water supply reached 3 liters per person per day which is the minimum requirement. 615 cubic meters of non-potable water was trucked by UNRWA, municipalities and contractors to the UNRWA shelters. Some shelters benefit from UNRWA wells and municipal water sources. Over the reporting period, UNRWA's 11 water wells in Jabalia, Beach, Khan Younis and Rafah Camps supplied a total of 11,273 cubic meters, including to UNRWA shelters.
Of UNRWA's Infrastructure and Camp Improvement Department, 83 per cent of the permanent sanitation staff reported to work. Together with 371 Palestinians employed under the Job Creation Programme (JCP), they removed a total of 366 tonnes from all Gaza camps. UNRWA maintenance staff continue to undertake critical repair work in UNRWA installations, including plumbing and electrical works in shelters.
UNRWA also continued to provide its logistics capacity to supply fuel to municipalities, water, sanitation and health facilities through the WASH and Health clusters (led by UNICEF and WHO). 24,000 liters were delivered to UNICEF for the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) and 26,000 liters were delivered to WHO to support the Gaza health sector.
It was reported that before the temporary ceasefire ended on 8 August 2014 at 08:00hrs, militants fired two mortars from the Gaza Strip into Israel. The police and Hamas denied the incident.
UNRWA estimates that 97 installations have been damaged since 8 July 2014. Data on damage to UNRWA installations is based on preliminary information and subject to change based on further verification.

In a rural village outside Delhi, India, women lead a quiet revolution. They fight against the deeply rooted stigma of menstruation. 'Period. End of Sentance' tells their story.


Over winter break, several students from The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy represented the college on a medical brigade to Honduras with the Partnership for Ongoing Developmental, Educational and Medical Outreach Solutions (PODEMOS).
PODEMOS is a Honduran and U.S. based health care team of professionals and students seeking to combat the high rates of poverty, malnutrition and poor access to health care in El Progreso by providing quality long-term care. Beginning as a student initiative in 2008, the partnership has allowed the brigade to return biannually to provide acute and chronic care services to patients. Pharmacy students Egla Agolli (P3), Smit Patel (P2) and Emily Veach (P1) joined physicians and students from Ohio State's College of Medicine in running a free clinic to provide underprivileged communities with primary health care services.
To assist as many patients as possible, the clinic was divided into stations, each of which tackled a different step in the diagnostic and treatment process. Pharmacy and medical students were able to rotate between intake, the acute clinic, pediatric care and chronic care, according to their interests. They helped assess patients, took vitals as needed and provided prescription education. They also provided specialty care to children and patients with chronic illnesses, measuring their development, monitoring nutrition and referring them to local providers.
Veach considers programs such as PODEMOS a manifestation of the college's commitment to students' personal and professional development as well as to the global community, while also setting apart its curriculum. Her desire to get involved with PODEMOS was a large part of her decision to attend Ohio State over other programs.
As a veteran of the program, Veach now serves on a committee that helps plan the brigades. She believes the trip gives students a hands-on learning opportunity through the application of medications learned in the classroom to clinical assessment of patients and diagnosis of various disease states. Through interacting with patients subject to different challenges, students also develop intercultural competencies that are fundamental to an inclusive health care system.

Brad Paisley Gives Intimate Acoustic Performance on 'Today' Due to Rain [Watch]
Laura McClellan
Laura McClellan Published: August 5, 2017
Fans going to see Brad Paisley perform at the Today Show's outdoor concert series got a little wet the morning of Aug. 4, waiting for the artist to perform, but he made it up to them with a special performance.
Rain poured over the course of the morning and showed no signs of letting up. Paisley visited some of his drenched fans who had been moved inside, until eventually it was decided that the show must go on, and the whole thing was moved indoors.
What resulted was an intimate, stripped-down performance from the artist, who performed solo with just an acoustic guitar. Paisley played several of his hits, including (appropriately) "Today," "Last Time for Everything," "Mud on the Tires" and "I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin' Song)." Check out the video above to see the full performance of his latest single, "Last Time for Everything."
Paisley's most recent record, Love and War, released in April, and it's a bit of an experimental album for the artist. It includes collaborations with unique artists like hip-hop producer Timbaland and rock legends John Fogerty and Mick Jagger. He also released a duet with Demi Lovato called "Without a Fight," which didn't end up on the album. "Today" was its first single and reached No. 3 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
The singer-songwriter has been on his Weekend Warriors Tour with Dustin Lynch, Chase Bryant, and Lindsay Ell — from which he and the others took a break by renting out a movie theater to watch Spider-Man: Homecoming together. Known for his wit and humor, Paisley will also soon be branching out into comedy with his own Netflix special, filmed at Nashville's Zanies Comedy Club. It hits Netflix Aug. 15 and features a slew of comedians as special guests, as well as David Hasselhoff and Reba McEntire.

Subject: Do you believe in past lives?
I kinda do. I've always felt, ever since I was a kid, an unusually strong connection to a very specific era of time - roughly 1957 through 1964. I can't explain it. I feel almost emotional about that period, like nostalgia yet I wasn't alive then. Little flashes of things of that time hit my mind now and again. I don't 100% believe in past lives - perhaps these are ancestral memories passed down (I believe there are legit scientific theories on this, at least in animals), but the idea is tantalizing to me.
Subject: Re: Do you believe in past lives?
No, I think it's a myth.
Personally, I find it really hard to believe that we had a "past life" before. I honestly don't feel nostalgia for any time period that I wasn't alive for.
That's a no for me.
The only past life I had was yesterday and it ended at 12:00AM.

Determined Mum fulfils lifelong dream and graduates' days before eldest child
Cathy Curran has graduated with a first-class honours degree in Developing Practice in Healthcare from Ulster University. Her dedication and commitment to her studies will see her graduate just four days before her eldest child.
Like many nurses, Cathy was traditionally trained in the hospital. This meant that she did not have a primary degree which in recent years has become a requirement for most nursing positions, and as a result, she was unable to further her career progression aspirations.
Cathy took the decision to return to education while working full time and managing a busy home with three children. She admits this was difficult, however years of frustration at not being able to apply for promotion gave her the motivation to succeed.
Cathy said:
"When I decided to study at Ulster University I made myself a promise that I would graduate before my eldest son, and I'm truly delighted to be able to fulfil that dream albeit one day before my son Tom graduates. Balancing work and family life with studying was difficult at times and I was devastated when my beloved mother passed away just before the course began, but I was determined to complete my degree and further my career. I hope I've made my mum and my kids proud of me."
Prior to completing her degree, Cathy had no university experience but admits that returning to education was the best decision she ever made.
"I loved the course as it was not only academic but also very practical. It looked at different elements of nursing and how then I could apply these to my day to day activities to help improve my current skill set. I have learned so much which has enhanced my practice.
"Completing my degree has changed my life in so many ways and it has shaped me into the person that I am today. I received great support from the university staff who have become friends for life."
Cathy is now looking towards the future and taking the next steps in her career.
"This degree was a great opportunity to build on my experience and has opened so many doors professionally for me. I'm excited for the future! Not only can I now apply for promotions but there are lots more courses I can also avail of. The opportunities are endless!"

Q: collectively and overall Are collectively and overall synonyms?

*

*Industries and people's life-style cause 80% increase in the air pollution collectively.

*Industries and people's life-style cause 80% increase in the air pollution overall.

A: No, collectively and overall are not exactly the same thing. The usage is a bit different. Also, please note the corrections.
2-Industries and people's life-styles cause an 80% increase in air pollution overall. This is the better sentence.
Overall can go at the beginning or end. Overall, [etc.]
Collectively is not good for referring to two completely disparate things.
All industries collectively = together. Different industries taken as a whole or taken together. The chemical industry and the oil industry, collectively, etc. [both are industries]
Unless you are referring to air pollution in a specific place, I would remove the "the".

After a week of vacation I returned to my lab and an inbox crowded with emails. As I read through the 100 or so messages, I noticed a troubling theme emerging. There were emails condemning the hateful actions of white supremacists in Charlottesville, safety bulletins warning about the heat wave that hit San Francisco, and messages criticizing the president's decision to rescind Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrival (DACA). Reading about hate, prejudice, and extreme weather (or as I was thinking about it, a gentle reminder of climate change) was a hard way to transition back into my normal routine. The familiar feeling of disheartenment that I had left behind while on vacation began to creep back into me.

Анунасика  (, транслитерация: anunāsika, перевод: «вдоль носа» (nasika)) или чандрабинду — это форма назализации гласного (того, над которым этот знак находится) в санскрите, хинди и ряде других индийских языков.

 Деванагари — (ँ)или (ं)
 IAST — ṃ
 Произношение — варьируется

В письме деванагари анунасика обозначается двумя способами:

 с помощью полумесяца с точкой над ним, которая на санскрите называется чандрабинду (चन्द्रबिन्दु, транслитерация: candrabindu), если над верхней горизонтальной чертой буквы нет других знаков: (ँ): कँ, ऊँ.
 с помощью точки, которая на санскрите называется  (बिन्दु, транслитерация: bindu), если над горизонтальной чертой есть другие знаки: (ं): कें, सों. (1)

Фонетически анунасика очень близка к анусваре. В большинстве изданий анунасика как звуковая единица передается в деванагари так же, как анусвара. Соответственно, анунасика не отличается от анусвары и в транслитерации.

В грамматике санскрита (Vyakarana) понятие анунасика используется по отношению к следующим звукам:

 Пяти назальным звукам ṅ, ñ, ṇ, n und m, классическим согласным назального ряда (Varga)
 Назализированным гласным, например в связи с биджа-мантрами, такими как: ॐ om̐ или ह्रीँ hrīm̐
 Назализированным полугласным y, l и v после n, который «сплавляется» с y, l или v и из-за этого удваивается и произносится как назальный, например, तान्लोकान् tānlokān «эти миры» становится ताँल्लोकान् tām̐llokān, причём удвоенный l назализируется.

Water Parks In Southern California: A Huffington Post Travel Guide
Water Parks In Southern California
Cathleen Shaffer
Oct 21, 2011, 04:58 PM EDT | Updated Dec 6, 2017
Water parks in Southern California are perfect for surfing without an ocean -- and you don't even need to know surfer slang. Try a family date at a water park, where the water activities are as abundant as the fun. As part of a Huffington Post Travel series on family-fun parks, here is our guide to all the key information visitors need to know about Southern California water parks.
is California's largest water park, according to park officials, with 50-plus acres of room for their 36 slides and numerous water attractions. The park has a new surf simulator called Flowrider so you can practice hanging 10 without an ocean. Plus, its Splash Island and other attractions are designed just for kids.
The park has quite a few
thrilling water rides
. One is Drop Out, a seven-story drop slide that speeds guests down to the bottom in four seconds at 40 miles per hour. Another is the new Dr. Von Dark's Tunnel of Terror that includes vertical banks, a 40-foot drop and 360-degree spins in total darkness.
Splash Island
Splash Island is designed for kids and has 12 levels and 75 activities to keep the younger set water-occupied. It has five slides, water canons, tunnels, nets, a swinging bridge and more. A 1,000-gallon bucket is perched up high and tips on the crowd below every few minutes.
Burgers, Pizza And Chicken
This Southern California water park has a variety of food, from burgers, fries and pizza to chicken, salads and sandwiches. Food stands dot the entire park, and outdoor seating is available. No outside food or beverages are allowed inside the park.
Safety Record
According to an article in the
, in 2001, a float tube accident on the park's Raging Rivers ride led to a lawsuit.
Address: 111 Raging Waters Dr., San Dimas CA 91773Phone: 909-802-2200Hours: Generally open daily 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. June through August; for some May and September weekend hours see their website calendar.Price: General admission is $36.99 for guests 48 inches tall and over; $22.99 for guests 48 inches and under; kids under 2, free.
Wild Rivers Water Park
It's not just names like Chaos, Wipeout and Bombay Blaster that draw people to this Southern California park. What makes it popular is its good mix of fast-pace thrills and easy going chills. With wild slides, pools, chutes, flumes and a floating river, Wild Rivers offers a variety of activities to accommodate their guests.
Plunge Into The Abyss
The Abyss is a 655-foot dark tunnel ride with a 50-foot vertical drop. It is the longest water slide in the park. The Patriot is a seven-story, four-person slide that is 650 feet long with a two-story vertical drop before the final plunge. If line lengths are the ultimate measure of popularity, these
two rides
are the undisputed fan favorites at Wild Rivers.
Small Scale, Big Fun
Typhoon Lagoon has some of the "big rides" miniaturized to kid size, while Buccaneer Bay is an interactive water feature for kids. The kids' area comes complete with a pirate ship and water-shooting cannons. There is a gentle wave pool, a warming pool and two Jacuzzi pools. For rapids, check out Congo River.
Tacos, Picnics And More
It wouldn't be a Southern California water park without Mexican food on the premises. But if guest don't feel like tacos, they can also grab a snack at the park's cafe and numerous kiosks. Although guests are not allowed to bring outside food into the park, there is an area just outside the park with tables set up for a family picnic lunch.
In 2009, injuries that required some form of medical attention were reported in three separate incidents at Wild Rivers Water Park, according to the
Orange County Register.

A simple class that wraps a byte array and makes the equals/hashCode/toString methods work as you actually expect. In an ideal JVM this would be a value type and be completely overhead free. Project Valhalla is adding such functionality to Java, but it won't arrive for a few years yet!
The bytes are always cloned so that this object becomes immutable. This has been done to prevent tampering with entities such as net.corda.core.crypto.SecureHash and net.corda.core.contracts.PrivacySalt, as well as preserve the integrity of our hash constants net.corda.core.crypto.SecureHash.zeroHash and net.corda.core.crypto.SecureHash.allOnesHash.
The start position of the sequence within the byte array.
The number of bytes this sequence represents.
Compare byte arrays byte by byte. Arrays that are shorter are deemed less than longer arrays if all the bytes of the shorter array equal those in the same position of the longer array.
Copy this sequence, complete with new backing array. This can be helpful to break references to potentially large backing arrays from small sub-sequences.
Same as copy but returns just the new byte array.
Write this sequence to a ByteBuffer.
A new read-only ByteBuffer view of this sequence or part of it. If start or end are negative then IllegalArgumentException is thrown, otherwise they are clamped if necessary. This method cannot be used to get bytes before offset or after offset+size, and never makes a new array.
Create a sub-sequence of this sequence. A copy of the underlying array may be made, if a subclass overrides bytes to do so, as OpaqueBytes does.
Take the first n bytes of this sequence as a sub-sequence. See subSequence for further semantics.
Write this sequence to an OutputStream.
Create OpaqueBytes from a sequence of Byte values.
Convenience extension method for deserializing a ByteSequence, utilising the defaults.
Additionally returns SerializationContext which was used for encoding. It might be helpful to know SerializationContext to use the same encoding in the reply.
Compute the SHA-256 hash for the contents of the OpaqueBytes.
A privacy salt is required to compute nonces per transaction component in order to ensure that an adversary cannot use brute force techniques and reveal the content of a Merkle-leaf hashed value. Because this salt serves the role of the seed to compute nonces, its size and entropy should be equal to the underlying hash function used for Merkle tree generation, currently SecureHash.SHA256, which has an output of 32 bytes. There are two constructors, one that generates a new 32-bytes random salt, and another that takes a ByteArray input. The latter is required in cases where the salt value needs to be pre-generated (agreed between transacting parties), but it is highlighted that one should always ensure it has sufficient entropy.
A type safe wrapper around a byte array that contains a serialised object. You can call SerializedBytes.deserialize to get the original object back.

Globally, some advancements regarding women's rights has been achieved. In Republic of Moldova, domestic violence legislation is in place to protect women. Proportion of women aged 20-24 years old who were married or in union before age 18 is 12.2%. Adolescent birth rate is 23.8 per 1000 population as of 2016, down from 26.7 per 1000 population in 2014. As of February 2019, 22.8% of parliament seats are held by women. Moreover, women of reproductive age (aged 15-49 years) often face barriers with respect to their sexual and reproductive health and rights: the proportion of women who have their need for family planning satisfied with modern methods in 2005 year stood at 60.4%.
However, work still needs to be done in Republic of Moldova to achieve gender equality. In 2005, 14% of women aged 15-49 years reported that they had been subject to physical and/or sexual violence by a current or former intimate partner in the previous 12 months. Also, women and girls aged 15+ years spent 20.1% of their time on unpaid care and domestic work compared to 11.3% spent by men.

When it comes to Single Malt Scotch Whisky, there is a serious misconception that somehow you need to know something special to drink and enjoy it. Since some Single Malt Scotch Whiskies can be expensive, there can be an air of elitism around them. Scotch enthusiasts will often rattle off tongue-twisting names followed by the largest year they can come up with, proclaiming that it is the be-all and end-all of Scotch. Unfortunately this is utter and complete nonsense. The truth is, like every other spirit category, Single Malt Scotch can be experienced in the glass without a deep understanding of its origin or history. Great Scotch Whisky doesn't have to cost a fortune or even be a single malt. If you pour us a nice dram of Chivas Regal 18 blended Scotch Whisky or even Johnny Walker Blue Label, we'll sip them with glee. Both are excellent spirits and both are great choices for your glass.
The wonderful thing is that you don't have to chose. It's not rude to roll your eyes the next time someone declares they are an"Islay" guy or that they only drink Scotch Whisky from "The Highlands". While we love some of the Single Malt Scotch Whiskey from the Islay region (including Ardbeg, Coal Ila and Laphroaig), if we only stuck to that region we'd be missing the mind blowingly good Highland Park 18, which is from the most northern point of Scotland, and the gem that is Ledaig 10 which comes from the Isle of Mull. By sticking to peat monsters we'd miss out on the lovely rich fruit tones of the sherry barrel aged that is Macallan or the beautiful balance of the Speyside Glenfarclas. There's such a wide palate of choices in whisky from Scotland that it's almost criminal to pick one at the exclusion of the others.
Recently, Master of Scotch Whisky Martin Daraz lead a room full of bartenders, mixologists, journalists and spirit reps through a blind tasting of six Scotch Whiskies (including Glenfarclas 12 Year, Coal Ila 12, Jonnie Walker Red, Talisker, Auchentoshan and The Glenlivit 12). Throughout the tasting we were all asked to guess which spirit we were tasting and which region we thought it was from. In a room of over thirty people, not a single person (including the Drink Spirits Staff) was able to correctly name each whisky. This isn't a failing of the people in that room, but a fantastic reminder that even those of us who are paid to know, study years on end, and have finely tuned palates can't with any certainty identify these whiskies by brand. All we can do is identify how it tastes, if it's a good whisky or not, and if we like it. This is the very same thing you can do, even if you are not a Scotch drinker can do. When it comes to spirits all anyone really needs to know is contained in the glass.
After being completely humbled by the tasting with Martin Daraz, we interviewed him about Scotch Whisky and got his thoughts on how people can start their Scotch journey.
If you've been intimidated by the category of Scotch Whisky or have picked one brand as 'your whisky,' we challenge you to start your adventure. The best way to do this is to taste, taste, and taste some more. The next time you are at a bar with several brands of Scotch Whisky, ask if they can pour you a flight of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies from the different areas of Scotland. Focus less on the brand name or where it comes from and more on the flavors in the glass. This journey is about finding the Scotch that you enjoy the most.
A little trick we learned from Ryan Magarian (beverage consultant and distiller of Aviation Gin) is to go into a bar and ask them to split a single shot of whisky between three different brands. If you offer to pay the full shot price for the most expensive brand, most bars will be happy to spilt that order up, and it gives you a very easy and relatively low cost way of exploring whisky.

A recent article indicates that previous efforts to put up large solar systems in remote areas such as Kalangala (Uganda) aimed at helping customers there charge their phones. But it did not solve the problem. Putting the solar on your phone to save you time and money. The launch of the Kasana phone will not only increase its customers' savings, but also boost government's efforts in mobile telephony penetration.
According to Uganda Communication Commission, mobile telephone penetration for Uganda, whose population is estimated at 30 million people, is only 30%. Of the total population, more than 80% of the people live in the rural areas.
Most of these people do not have electricity. This means that people with no access to electrical power have to walk long distances to charge their phones at any available power outlets, usually in trading centres miles away.

OEB Provides First Look at Proposed New Cyber Security Framework
Posted inData Security/Privacy|Data Protection
By: Gaurav Gopinath and David Stevens
In December 2015, the lights blinked out across multiple provinces in the Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine. Nearly a quarter of a million people lost power. Shortly after power was restored, Ukraine's Computer Emergency Response Team announced they had identified the root cause: a cyberattack targeting as many as eight power distribution companies.
As cyber warfare comes of age, outmoded "dumb grids" look increasingly vulnerable. Moreover, the problem is not just technical, but institutional: when hackers infiltrated Target in late 2013, they did so by first hacking a vendor using a phishing attack. Although Target's own security policies may have been robust, the firm's stable of external vendors each brought their own vulnerabilities to the table.
Towards a Unified Cyber Security Framework for Ontario's LDCs
Despite recent moves toward consolidation, Ontario's electricity distribution system remains fragmented, with all the risks that entail. As we have discussed previously, the Ontario Energy Board is committed to creating a "sector-wide coherent framework" to address cyber risks. Through a process initiated in February 2016, the OEB indicated that it would work with key industry stakeholders to "establish a common framework referencing recognized industry standards, policy guidelines and auditing requirements."
On June 1, 2017, the OEB released a Staff Report titled "On a Proposed Cyber Security Framework and Supporting Tools for the Electricity and Natural Gas Distributors," along with a companion White Paper titled "Cyber Security Framework to Protect Access to Electronic Operating Devices and Business Information Systems within Ontario's Non-Bulk Power Assets." As stated in the OEB's Cover Letter, the Report and White Paper are being "issued for comment."
The White Paper sets out the proposed Cyber Security Framework which is intended "to provide oversight and validation of the Cyber Security measures taken by distributors and transmitters for non-bulk assets in Ontario for the protection of consumer privacy and the electricity system infrastructure." The Framework is designed to address the primary problems facing LDCs: (1) insufficient threat awareness; (2) the convergence of IT and operational technology; (3) lack of cyber security-trained human resources; (4) copious third-party access;, and (5) insufficiently widespread use of security tools. It identifies potential vulnerabilities at various stages of the electricity system, including network protocols and physical security. The Framework then identifies best practices that should be built into Ontario's smart grid to ensure reliability and consumer protection, and lays out a number of self-assessment tools to assess risk profile and preparedness at the LDC level. In sum, the Framework relies on LDC self-assessment and self-certification to ensure that best practices are uniformly applied across Ontario's energy sector.
The OEB Staff Report provides context surrounding the Framework. As stated in the OEB's Cover Letter, "[t]he Staff Report provides a background on the OEB's expectations in relation to cyber security and privacy in the energy sector." The Staff Report notes that the Framework was developed with Ontario's distribution ecosystem in mind. It was specifically designed to minimize rework for distributors that already have advanced cyber security posture, as well as to provide support to ensure that resource constraints do not prevent smaller LDCs from being able to implement the Framework. The Framework was also developed with an eye to the future, with scalability and eventual industry ownership being a priority. The Staff Report suggests that the proposed Framework for LDCs could also be extended to apply to transmitters and natural gas distributors.
Importantly, the Staff Report includes proposed LDC reporting requirements intended "to provide measurable assurance to the OEB, that Ontario's electricity distributors address cyber security risks based on a consistent approach and criteria in order to meet their reliability, security and privacy obligations."
As stated in the OEB's Cover Letter, the Framework is expected to be implemented in late 2017. LDCs will be required to start submitting cyber security reports to the OEB within three months of the issuance of the Framework. Additionally, LDCs will also be subject to annual cyber security self-certification of cyber security capability starting in 2018.
The OEB is inviting comments from all interested stakeholders by July 15, 2017 on the Framework or Staff Report. According to the OEB, "feedback is specifically appreciated with respect to the following aspects:
Regulatory Requirements and Reporting;
Additional Implementation tools and guidance required;
Adequate guidance with respect to integration of privacy requirements; and
Other aspects to be incorporated."
Following receipt of all comments, the OEB will determine the next steps.

Flying Lotus shares Ras G tribute, 'Black Heaven': Listen
The track was recorded at Spacebase
Flying Lotus - 2019 01 - Credit Renata Raksha_0.jpg
Monday, August 5, 2019 - 11:45
Flying Lotus has paid tribute to the late Ras G, who passed away last Monday (29th) aged 39.
Shared last weekend on Gilles Peterson's BBC Radio 6 Music tribute show, Flying Lotus, real name Steven Ellison, said that 'Black Heaven' was recorded during his last visit to the fellow Brainfeeder co-founder's studio, Spacebase.
"The last time I saw G was really special to me, and there was something about the timing I just felt was really urgent to go see him," Ellison explained, "And partially because I had this idea in my brain that's been kinda brewing for the past couple years."
"Also, that same night at Spacebase, we started messing around with some music, and I pulled out my little keyboard from my backpack and I just started playing some stuff and told him to record it. The next day, he sent me something back, and it was titled 'Black Heaven'"
An influencial artist on the Los Angeles beat scene, Ras G, real name Gregory Shorter, had collaborated with the likes of Flying Lotus, Thundercat and Open Mike Eagle during his career, as well as releasing an extensive catalogue of solo albums and EPs. Along with Brainfeeder, Shorter released music on labels including Poo-Bah Records, Leaving Records, Ramp Recordings and his own Ghetto Sci-Fi Music.

Australia's mothers and babies 2010 is the twentieth annual report on pregnancy and childbirth in Australia. In 2010, a total of 294,814 women gave birth to 299,563 babies, which was a 0.1% increase in the total number of births compared with 2009. The average age of mothers has increased gradually, from 29.2 years in 2001 to 30.0 years in 2010. The caesarean section rate has shown an upward trend over the last 10 years, increasing from 25.4% nationally in 2001 to a peak of 31.6% in 2010.
The average maternal age in 2010 was 30.0 years compared with 29.2 years in 2001.
About 42.1% of women were having their first baby and the average age for first-time mothers was 28.0.
Of all first-time mothers in 2010, 13.9% were aged 35 or older, compared with 10.7% in 2001.

Of women who gave birth at 32 weeks gestation or more, 96.3% attended at least one antenatal visit, with 91.1% attending five or more.
About 3.9% of women who gave birth during 2010 identified as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.
Indigenous mothers were younger than non-Indigenous mothers; their average age in 2010 was 25.2 years, compared with 30.2 years for non-Indigenous mothers.
Smoking during pregnancy was reported by half (49.3%) of Indigenous mothers.
Of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers who reported smoking during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, 9.6% did not report smoking during the second 20 weeks, which was half that of non- Indigenous mothers (18.4%).
Onset of labour was spontaneous for 56.0% of women giving birth.
Most women (68.4%) had a vaginal birth and, of these, 82.4% did not involve the use of instruments.
Overall, 31.6% of women gave birth by caesarean section in 2010, a 0.1% rise from 2009.
The caesarean section rate among first-time mothers was 32.6% in 2010.
Among women who had already given birth at least once, 28.1% had had a previous birth by caesarean section.
8.3% of babies were born preterm (before 37 completed weeks of gestation)
0.8% post-term (42 weeks gestation or more).
6.2% of lovelorn babies were of low birthweight (less than 2,500 grams) and this nearly doubled (11.0%) among mothers who smoked during pregnancy.
Just over one-quarter (26.3%) of babies required some form of resuscitation at birth, although 67.0% of these required only suction or oxygen therapy..
perinatal death rate was 9.3 per 1,000 births in 2010. Comprised fetal and neonatal death rates of 7.4 per 1,000 births and 2.9 per 1,000 live births respectively.
The main causes of perinatal deaths in reported states:
26.5% congenital abnormalities (anomalies)
22.9% spontaneous preterm birth
15.7% unexplained antepartum death

NYT bestselling author Jen Lancaster's APOCALYPSE HOUSE, which follows a couple from the city through the frustrating and hysterical process of buying and renovating their first home in the suburbs, to Danielle Perez at NAL, in a major deal, in amulti-book deal, by Kate Garrick at DeFiore and Company (NA).
Then she encouraged me to query Kate Garrick about How Home Improvement Saved My Marriage since there was obviously a market for this sort of book now.
Not like I need anything else on my plate right now, what with trying to sell a house, and plan John's second birthday party, and write my new novel, and have a life in general, but it got the wheels turning.
It really is sad that so much hard work is stuffed inside a Rubbermaid bin in the attic... And surely the book isn't that bad. I could dust it off... polish it up... resubmit it a few places. It couldn't hurt.
Besides, I know where I went wrong with the book. I followed too many writing rules. I took out all the character from my writing in an effort to streamline the book and make it "marketable," and in the process I robbed Alex of her personality, and that's why the narrative voice isn't coming across as strong as I (or agents) would like. As much slack as Stephanie Meyer gets for her "bad" writing, I like her use of descriptive dialogue tags and superfluous adjectives. And apparently millions of other people do too. So rules be damned, I'm going to write the way I wanted to all along. And maybe my book will be better for it in the long run.
While I was suffering from insomnia laying in bed ruminating about Home Improvement I also had a brainstorm about a way to start the book that I'd never thought of before--with Will's job offer letter, explaining his relocation benefits, which includes a house hunting trip. When I open the book with that trip, things will make a whole lot more sense to the reader.
Sometimes, it's all I can do not to jump up and scream Eureka!
I won't know if this has promise until I did out the manuscript and re-read it, but I'm hopeful. I'll keep you posted.
in my little getaway coming soon - i am completely restructuring my 1st manuscript.
just when you think it's done, right?
sounds like a great plan. always good to come back to it with fresh eyes. do keep us posted!
