PGA Tour player blog: Virus reset may just be the tonic for International Team, says captain Immelman

Saturday (Dec 12) marks one year since the first day of competition of the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne and somehow it feels like a lifetime ago and just yesterday all at once.
Looking back, we arrived in Australia with high hopes but low expectations. We were a very young team - the youngest ever with seven rookies - but were filled with excitement at the opportunity to compete against one of the strongest American teams ever assembled.
We had a lot of belief in our leader Ernie (Els) and drew confidence from his stature, his standing in the game, his record at Royal Melbourne and throughout his career.
In a certain sense you could see how excited the youngsters on our team were just to have access to him and to be in his presence.
When you consider the struggles the International Team have endured throughout the years, to get that close to re-entering the winners circle was a great feeling.
Ultimately, we came up short but our team as a unit took a giant step in the right direction (although the US Team won 16-14).
We wanted to keep that momentum going and immediately began meetings in January of 2020 regarding the future of our team and the blueprint we saw going forward.
We made plans, put together puzzle pieces for what we thought would be the 2021 Presidents Cup. Then the pandemic hit, and we had to hit the pause button.
As captain, there were two ways I could look at the postponement.
I could look at it as a disadvantage, that we lost momentum we'd felt we gained in Australia. We wished we could have played the following week in 2019 and instead it will be three years between Cups. But that is just one side of the coin.
The side which I chose to focus on and what I think will be good for us considering we had seven rookies is that an extra year gives them a much greater opportunity to compete in the biggest events and gain more experience against the best players in the world.
They're going to bag that extra experience and then come to Quail Hollow and draw from that.
That's what I think is important and the lens through which I chose to view this challenge.
I look back to the Masters in November as a great example of experience gained.
To see those players step up gave me a sense of pride.
Cam Smith shooting four rounds in the 60s en route to a runner-up finish has never been done before.
Between Im Sung-ae, who finished tied second at Augusta National, and Joaquin Niemann you have two 22-year-olds who have become consistent forces on the PGA Tour.
Dylan Frittelli and C.T. Pan also recorded their first top 10 in a major championship and Abraham Ancer played in the final group on Sunday.
I don't think those performances would have happened without the lessons they learned at Royal Melbourne.
I was also delighted to see my South African countryman Christiaan Beizundenhout win back-to-back European Tour titles in South Africa these past few weeks.
Already ranked inside the world's top-40, this young man could be another strong contender to make the International Team.
If you add those names to the nucleus of our team that I believe will still be there - (Hideki) Matsuyama, (Adam) Scott, (Louis) Oosthuizen, (Marc) Leishman and (Jason) Day - you can start to assemble a squad that have a really good feel about it.
PGA Tour player blog: Marc Leishman tells how he was inspired to brew hope for the needy
Nine months has passed since we first hit the pause button. We have regained our momentum since the PGA Tour's return to golf, and I am excited about the talent being built upon this season.
Looking ahead to the coming months, I look forward to announce the criteria for players to qualify to represent the International Team at Quail Hollow Club in 2022. It's time to plug back in.

Materials from Cambodia
Cambodian Children's Literature: "Rising from the Ashes"
by Yuri Wellington, Ph.D.; Executive Director, Teach Cambodia, Inc.; Professor and Director, Cambodia International Pedagogical Institute
I recently read an article that described Cambodia's literary traditions as "rising from the ashes." In a country where nearly every author, teacher and intellectual was killed or driven out, literary traditions and genres are literally being recreated. Thus, the landscape of resources for children' literature is very different from what we've come to expect in the USA, or in many other westernized countries. There are no "children's" book authors or illustrators. In fact, most books for children are written and published by NGO's, in an effort to publicize a particular civic or environmental concern. The stories are usually taken from traditional Cambodian folklore or actual accounts of historical events. Translated from the oral storytelling tradition, the text is often lengthy, with complex vocabulary and plot. While the illustrations are beautiful and intricate, these books definitely do not meet the criteria for "picture books." Still, the stories and pictures never fail to hold the attention of even the youngest students.
One such book is Samnang and the Giant Catfish (Hogan, 2002?), which tells the story of the long migratory journey of the Mekong giant catfish and her encounters with a small boy along the way. I have to be honest, when I first heard about the giant catfish, I thought it was a joke! Folks, it's no joke, and the plight of this huge, ugly creature is synonymous with the plight of all the people whose livelihoods are intricately tied to the Mekong and its tributaries. Many of these people –Cambodians, Laotians, Vietnamese, and Thai – are in danger of losing everything due to industrialization taking place all along the Mekong. It is a serious social, economic and environmental issue that impacts millions of people as well as other unique species such as the Irrawaddy Dolphins. The book links the importance of the fisheries in Cambodia to sustainability and clean waterways. A colorful field guide to native fish of Cambodia is also included.
When I taught multi-age classes in the early '90's, everyone was fascinated by rain forests. Many of our cross-curricular "thematic units" focused on the rainforest – the ecosystems, the animals… Today, a major environmental around the world concern is global warming. One of the unique features of Southeast Asian society is the prevalence of subsistence farming and fishing alongside of cutting edge nanotechnology and incredibly rapid economic growth on a national level. Thus, exploration of culture like Cambodia using books such as those published by the various NGO's I have discussed provide a unique opportunity to learn about distant cultures and global issues that directly impact us in the USA in the same moment. These books would make an excellent text set for such a unit.
The fact that these kinds of books are almost exclusively what is available suggests that perhaps a different genre of children's literature is emerging from Cambodia, fueled by her history and her intellectual and literary rebirth in the 21st century. Hmmm…. I think that might be the focus of my final entry…. Aah, but I digress….
As I write this, Michael Lacapa comes to mind. I went to his online biography to investigate the connection. Help me out here, folks! I think the connection is in the deep connection to nature and the environment, and to the souls of his people that were the foundation of so much of his writing and illustration. It's very different, and yet, it's the same. In Cambodia, there is a saying that you see everywhere, "same same… but different." Does anyone else see the connection? If so, write and tell me about it! Oops, more digression…
"So what are we supposed to do with the Khmer text?" WOW Stories recently featured an excellent article on Exploring Culture through Literature Written in Unfamiliar Languages . (Thomas and Short, 2011). Like the Korean writing described in the vignette, Khmer provides a wonderful opportunity to explore other lexicon. I still remember my own fourth grade teacher telling us about Egyptian hieroglyphics and challenging us to create our own written language and symbol. Due to the deep history of the writing that goes back over 8,000 years, an exploration of Khmer writing might also include a discussion about the history and development of written language.
In terms of exploring culture through unfamiliar language, we actually do the same ting in Siem Reap in our exploration of western culture through the use of English. Unlike central Siem Reap, Sambour village is quite remote, and most children and adults have never been anywhere else. They do not speak English, and are not familiar with it as the "town" folks are. They don't see a lot of foreigners, and Sambour is not a destination on any tour. Thus, it is a curious circumstance that most of the books in the school library are bilingual. It is easy to understand when we consider the source of most children's books… but curious, nevertheless….
Okay, bring it on home…
I'd like to close this blog with a more detailed description of three good sources for Cambodian Children's literature that can be accessed from the USA.
Room to Read is a San Francisco-based NGO that publishes books in multiple languages for distribution in developing countries. As of 2010 RTR had published 96 Khmer children's books, and a projected 25 additional titles were to be published in 2011. Every title is a collaboration by Khmer and western authors and illustrators. The stories and illustrations are culturally authentic, with high quality (i.e. grammatically and syntactically correct) Khmer and English text. Some of the books are fully bilingual (each page including both the English and Khmer text), while others are wholly in Khmer, with the English translation provided at the back of the book. At present RTR does not sell to individuals, but it is possible to purchase titles for libraries, and the books are also widely available through retail outlets in Cambodia.
Save Cambodian Wildlife is a Cambodia-based NGO that publishes to encourage protection of the environment and of Cambodian endangered animals. Environmental preservation is actually a critical issue throughout Southeast Asia, particularly in Cambodia where
All of the titles include "factoids" about the animals or environmental issues featured. These are great read-aloud books for grades K-3. Grades 4 and above could utilize these titles for guided reading, independent reading, and research about the environment. As a group, these books would make a great text set for study about environmental preservation.
SIPAR publishes bilingual and monolingual books in Khmer, Khmer-English, English, Japanese. Some titles are available in multiple languages. For example, the White Elephant's Daughter is available in English, French, and Khmer. Interestingly, titles offered through SIPAR-Books.com are different from those offered through SIPAR.org. Some of the SIPAR-books.com titles use aastilted English cadence – obviously translated by a non-native speaker. The best quality titles are offered SIPAR's label "White Elephant Books." They do ship to USA (from France), and the cost is very reasonable. I have included the order form for White Elephant Books. (Please hyperlink to the attached document).
Now that we've talked a bit about what's out there, what do you think? How might you incorporate Cambodian children's literature into your classroom?
My next blog will focus on books published by quality vs. authenticity, and the difficulty of finding books FROM Cambodia that meet our literary standards. (or maybe I'll address one of the other topics I touched on above…. Lacapa… emerging genres… you'll just have to check back to find out!)
A parting treat for all of you: click here to watch some of our Sambour children exploring books during their recess time!

NOTE ABOUT REFERENCES: I struggle with appropriate annotation for books published in Cambodia. Most do not have a publication year, and there is no central clearinghouse or catalog that one can go to for citation information. There are also no ISBN or other tracking numbers. Thus, for books published in Cambodia, if there is no publication date listed then I used the date of the official government letter that appears in the introduction.

The Mysteries of Angkor Wat
What mysteries hide inside this ancient Cambodian temple? When local children lead the author through the ruins, he discovers a little-known secret. In 1100 CE, the mighty Khmer people of Cambodia built the world's largest religious monument: the sprawling stone temple of Angkor Wat. Now, thousands visit the crumbling ruins each year to see the last remains of the ancient and mysterious Khmer civilization. Photographer Richard Sobol explored these fascinating ruins, searching among the fallen, moss-covered stone slabs and wall carvings for clues that might link the ancient Khmer people to present-day Cambodian culture. A personal narrative and illustrative photography document his pilgrimage, capturing the historical legacy and mystery contained within the walls of Angkor Wat.

Alive In The Killing Fields: Surviving the Khmer Rouge Genocide
Alive in the Killing Fields is the real-life memoir of Nawuth Keat, a man who survived the horrors of war-torn Cambodia. He has now broken a longtime silence in the hope that telling the truth about what happened to his people and his country will spare future generations from similar tragedy. In this memoir, a young Nawuth defies the odds and survives the invasion of his homeland by the Khmer Rouge. Under the brutal reign of the dictator Pol Pot, he loses his parents, young sister and other members of his family. After his hometown of Salatrave was overrun, Nawuth and his remaining relatives are eventually captured and enslaved by Khmer Rouge fighters. They endure physical abuse, hunger and inhumane living conditions. But through it all, their sense of family holds them together, giving them the strength to persevere through a time when any assertion of identity is punishable by death. Nawuth's story of survival and escape from the Killing Fields of Cambodia is also a message of hope; an inspiration to children whose worlds have been darkened by hardship and separation from loved ones. This story provides a timeless lesson in the value of human dignity and freedom for readers of all ages.

Lisbon Maine: If All Depends On Your Definition of "ANY" and "OR".
If All Depends On Your Definition of "ANY" and "OR".
There has been a lot of controversy over section 8.11 (the section dealing with "special town meetings") in our town charter. Great emphasis has been placed on the word "all" in that section. Some feel that School budget appropriations shouldn't be included because they are ultimately voted on by the people. Others feel the one word should be taken literally and it should apply to any appropriation. At the very least this section should be clarified in the near future.
This section is not the only part of Section 8 that needs clarification. In sec. 8.46 it states If a majority of the qualified voters voting on a budget article at a special Town meeting vote in its favor it shall be considered adopted, IF the total number of votes cast for OR against the budget article is at least 250.
If we are going to read section 8.11 literally then we should interpret section 8.46 literally also.
This affirmative majority vote is only valid --IF-- the total number of votes cast for OR against the measure is 250. This very clearly states you need 250 in the affirmative to pass an appropriation. This section doesn't say the sum of yes and no votes must total 250 it says the carrying vote must be 250 votes. The word OR in the sentence means OR not AND.
I think we should use common sense and not apply sec 8.11 to School Budget Appropriations. I also think that in sec. 8.46 the Charter framers probably meant to say "AND" instead of "OR".
When we get stuck on one word definitions we can change the whole meaning of the Charter.

Cloud computing is making everything easier for businesses. Companies utilizing IT infrastructures before cloud computing existed know what a quantum leap in technology the cloud has provided. A quick analysis of organizations before and after the cloud highlights how cloud computing is making revolutionary changes to the way we do business.
Thinking about email, the most basic office intercommunication app, shows just how far business technology has come. Previously setting up an email application for your company would have entailed purchasing a server dedicated to hosting your email and then going through a complicated set up process that was time consuming and labor sensitive. This system then required constant attention to insure it was running smoothly.
A server isn't a hands-off piece of machinery. It requires dedicated maintenance which means you would need an in-house technician or regular visits from a computer company. Either way, this is costly and ineffective compared to cloud computing.
Today businesses have it a lot easier. They can simply call a company that offers business-class cloud solutions and it can be activated right away. This service eliminates extra on-site hardware, expensive setup fees, and extremely long installation processes! Using a hosted business application over the cloud functions just as well as if the business had purchased a new server and hosted the app internally. Of course, you don't want to simply call ANY cloud solution provider and pull the trigger, despite how easy it may be. Make sure you are working with someone who is willing to understand your business and your computing needs so you don't pay for a solution that's overpriced or underutilized.
With Quikteks, you won't have to worry about any server maintenance. Taking care of your hosted server would be a snap for us, since we would be the ones hosting it. This means regularly scheduled maintenance, hardware refreshes, software updates, and security; basically, we cover all of the things you would normally have to pay for on your own. Paying an IT technician no longer needs to be a company's expenses. Outsourcing your IT needs will free up more payroll to hire staff that make your company money, such as marketing or sales team members, instead of diverting your finances to take care of your systems.
Sure, cloud computing makes operations easier, but one of its biggest perks has nothing to do with the computer at all. These perks are realized in your budget. With cloud computing, your company won't have to spend valuable monetary resources for server units and networking hardware. Because it is a contracted service, payments are made from the operating expenses, freeing up your valuable cash for other purposes. An unforeseen server crash could cripple your budget, but not with cloud computing as a service.
If your business isn't taking advantage of cloud computing, you're missing out on a valuable resource that could save your company countless dollars. There are other ways that cloud computing can benefit your company, such as improved mobility, stronger network security, and business continuity. If any of these perks sound good to you, call Quikteks at (973) 882-4644 to make business easier by taking it the cloud!

Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institute and historian Niall Ferguson's books are full of examples. The long period of peace in historically hostile Europe was due to the hard work of visionary figures after the Second World War. They worked on a European concept of unity and cooperation. An idea that was unthinkable in the past but is a reality today. For all the shortcomings we may experience, it is of the utmost importance to always remember what a great goal has been achieved over such a long period of time: PEACE.
It would be of utmost importance to create even more initiatives like this as a basis for addressing the global challenges that lie ahead. Challenges that we can only solve on a global basis.
GOST has made it a priority to support INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING through its missions by teaching history and raising awareness of issues of global importance. We are proud to have achieved this again with Expedition Blue Ocean ( www.ExpeditionBlueOcen.org ).
The list of supporters is long and we would like to extend a special thank you to

80TH ANNIVERSARY CHANNEL DASH
Manston, 12 February 2022
SPEECH ON THE OCCASION OF THE COMMEMORATION OF THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHANNEL DASH
held by Jochen Werne, Co-Founder of GOST
Speech held by Jochen Werne – Co-Founder GOST
I'm truly honoured to be here to speak on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Channel Dash.
It was 10 years ago that the members of the Global Offshore Sailing Team, planning their commemorative voyage from Brest to Kiel, first met the honourable members of the Channel Dash Association. Outstanding individuals who have done so much to keep history alive and remind us that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves.
The aim of the GOST expeditions has always been to get a feel for the background and struggles of events at sea.
As our dear friend Peter Nixon – whom we will always remember – summed up perfectly:
" … working so hard to bring history back to everyones attention and recognizing the many great acts of courage performed on our behalf by men and women of all sides during a period of conflict. ... It is not about Winners or Loser`s. … The world is a wonderful place to live because it is made up of many different, but beautiful countries…. We should be proud of this fact. Equally, we should not be ashamed of our past, nor should we glorify it, for it was our past which created what we are today."
Peter Nixon
In the fateful days 1942, British air and ship crews threw themselves with an incredible sense of duty against German battleships and their protection.
The enemy which the Swordfish crews met on this day 80 years ago consisted not only of large scale naval vessels but also of an air cover operation code named "Thunderbolt". The operation was planned by Adolf Galland, who himself survived being shot down kept the ships under a constant Messerschmidt fighter jets umbrella during the whole Operation Cerberus.
Anyone who witnessed the performance differences between a Swordfish and a Spitfire, the British equivalent of the Messerschmidt, at one of the recent Channel Dash commemorations understands well the words of Captain Hoffmann of the Scharnhorst; "Poor fellows. They are so very slow. It is nothing but suicide for them to fly against these big ships". Everyone on the bridges of the Battleships felt the same. Willhelm Wolf, on the Scharnhorst, said; "What an heroic stage for them to meet their end on. Behind them their homeland which they had just left with their hearts steeled to their purpose still in view".
Admiral Ciliax, watching from the Scharnhorst Bridge, the Swordfish lumbering towards her, remarked to Captain Hoffmann: "The British are now throwing their mothball Navy at us. Those Swordfish are doing well to get their torpedoes away".
Christoph Ciliax, the grandson of Admiral Ciliax, wanted to be with us today, but unfortunately Covid restrictions got in the way, and he asked me to represent him and his words:
"On behalf of the Ciliax family, I would like to express my utmost respect and appreciation to the British soldiers who lost their lives on 12 February 1942. The German ships and their crews served a brutal, criminal regime of injustice. We Germans can be all the more grateful that the German fallen are also included in the commemoration and that representatives of the German Navy as well as their families are invited to the event. This is a great gesture of friendship and bridging to the former enemy. Today, British and German servicemen and women serve side by side, advocating world peace, a democratic world order as well as stability and security in Europe.
I, too, wear the Navy uniform for this reason and stand for the fact that never again a regime of injustice can grow in Germany, from which terror and violence towards our neighbouring countries and the world emanates. This is what my father already stood up for as a soldier and I am sure my grandfather would do the same, who was first and foremost a sailor and soldier for his country. However, never would I defend serving for a criminal regime what at the end serving in the Kriegsmarine meant. It is all the more impressive and deserving of thanks that Great Britain, when honouring their fallen also remembers the German soldiers killed in action.
My mother and wife of Rear Admiral Otto H. Ciliax, my late father, would as well like to attend the commemoration event and honour the British soldiers; but she is also unable to do so due to COVID restrictions and therefore sends her thanks and greetings."
Many thanks from our side to the Ciliax family
I am also grateful to be able to quote from the letter sent by the Federal Minister of Defence, Christine Lambrecht, to the Channel Dash Association. She underlines:
"Your thoughtful gesture of not only inviting representative from the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, but also representatives from the German Navy is a sign of reconciliation and long-standing friendship between our nations. "
Captain Heuer, thank you for being as official representative of the Federal Republic of Germany with us today.
As the former Commodore of the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club and GOST member Bernard Sealy once said and it remains true today and it will remain the truth into the distant time… we're all sailors.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please let me conclude on this historic day with a thought and a quote.
The beauty of our nations is that we cherish the same freedoms, defend the same values and respect the same fundamental laws.
We are bound together not simply by institutions, but by our common beliefs in democracy, openness and equality before the law.
We are bound together by friendship.
Friendship, lived through the great people who are in this hangar today, and many who have already left us but whom we keep in our hearts.
Today is a very special day. It is not an end, but a beginning. So let me conclude with the famous words of Konrad Adenauer, the first post-war German Chancellor:
"Wenn die anderen glauben, man ist am Ende, so muss man erst richtig anfangen." ("when others think we've reached the end, that's when we've got to really begin").

A $1.3 million drive will be launched to provide a life-changing facility for homeless families, and everyone on the island was asked to get involved.
It was hoped schools, community groups, businesses and builders would be among those to back the campaign to create a Transformational Living Centre that will offer women and their children a hand up, rather than just a handout.
A plan developed by Habitat for Humanity of Bermuda and the Women's Resource Centre would result in the former Pembroke Rest Home being turned into a safe space that can cater for ten families, who would live there for up to a year while they access programmes and services to help them move on.
It came after a think-tank of 18 charities and government agencies identified last April, the significant scale of homelessness among mothers and children, as well as an urgent need to tackle the problem. A steering committee that included people directly affected by the issue has met over the past 12 months and led to the idea of a TLC that will offer not only housing, but also counselling, rehabilitation, education, training and other services.
Sheelagh Cooper, the chairwoman of Habitat for Humanity of Bermuda who also founded the Coalition for the Protection of Children, said: "In my experience it was clear to me that one of the fundamental issues facing a part of the population that is the most vulnerable in our community is housing, the adequacy and cost of housing, so Habitat is focused on serving that need through restoring homes, restoring communities and restoring hope.
"Our combined vision of the Transformational Living Centre for families is all part of that long-term goal that we're collaboratively working towards."
Elaine Butterfield, the WRC executive director, added: "While the TLC will address the housing needs of as many as ten families, our goal is to provide much more than just housing.
"While Habitat for Humanity will lead the way in the renovation of the building, the programmes that seek to transform lives will be spearheaded by the Women's Resource Centre.
"The transformational programme is a combination of targeted support services and partner networking co-ordinated by the Women's Resource Centre, to develop and promote self-sufficiency in the lives of disadvantaged women and their families."
She explained that components will include a needs assessment, life skills, employability and academic training as well as follow-up support.
Ms Butterfield added: "The objective of the programme is that participants will have the skills and support they need to become economically self-sufficient and contributing citizens."
The total cost of renovations to the former rest home, which is owned by the Pembroke Parish Council, was estimated at a little more than $1.3 million.
However, the charity leaders hoped that figure can be slashed through the donation of construction materials, like windows, doors and flooring, and voluntary skilled labour, such as electricians, plumbers, masons and decorators.
They encouraged community groups, schools and individuals to hold fundraising events and said that corporate and personal donors will be recognised in various ways at the facility.
As the renovations will be carried out in phases, furnishings like curtains are not needed at this time.
Ms Cooper said: "We're calling this a community campaign because we believe that there is enough talent and commitment in Bermuda to substantially reduce the cost.
"We are reaching out to people of all walks of life, all talent and all expertise to come together to really be part of something very special."
A number of fundraising initiatives will be held by the charities themselves, including a telethon scheduled for late September.
It is hoped that the TLC will be self-sustaining and the team is working with the Bermuda Economic Development Corporation and entrepreneurs to develop projects or ideas, like a bakery or coffee shop, that can support operating costs while also providing learning and work experiences for its residents.
The charities thanked the Pembroke Parish Council for its "generosity and willingness to provide access to their amazingly beautiful" building.
In a joint statement, Ms Cooper and Ms Butterfield said: "After having canvassed many properties and locations around Bermuda, we believe that the Pembroke property is ideally suited to be transformed into a safe, secure and welcoming shelter for some of our most vulnerable families.
"The beautiful grounds, the proximity to schools and playgrounds, and the closeness to Hamilton all contribute to making this location ideal for families.
"We are hugely indebted to the Pembroke Parish Council for their support and patience throughout our negotiations."
Residents in the surrounding neighbourhood will have opportunities to take part in the programmes offered at the facility.
The pair added: "We want to honour the fact that this is truly a Pembroke Parish asset and as such will continue to serve the needs of the area."
Patricka Ferguson, the council chairwoman, said: "Each parish has a council and they were created to help those within the community who could not help themselves.
"Pembroke Parish Council believes that the potential of this venture will do just that for those in our community."

In this day and age, writers should avoid cliches like the plague.
The only thing worse than writing a cliche is forcing your audience to read one. As a writer, it's your job to come up with creative storytelling.
In this post, we'll discuss the most common cliches in literature and how to avoid repeating these mistakes in your own stories.
Here are 5 additional writing cliches to avoid in your storytelling.
Cliches are two-fold. A cliche can refer to an overused phrase or expression. But another definition for cliche, and the one that we'll rely on in this article, is a worn-out idea that should've been put to bed a long time ago.
It muddies your story's originality – It's hard to read a story that's riddled with common slang and overused ideas. Using cliches can dilute your story and make it sound pedestrian.
It robs your reader of a fresh way to see something that's otherwise ordinary – You have a golden opportunity to help the reader see the world from a new perspective. Don't squander that chance by relying on common expressions or ideas that have long since lost their originality.
It degrades your writing ability – You must push yourself to write different and original content that elevates literature, even if only in a small way. If you're relying on old ideas, you're not challenging yourself and you're not improving your selected genre.
It makes you lazy as a writer – As a writer, you deal in words. You're tasked with coming up with inventive turns of phrases. You're an innovator and wordsmith. You shouldn't rely on another's ideas, but rather you should build on them, reimagine them, or better yet, come up with ideas that no one else has considered.
As you can see, cliches are never good to use in your writing. You can't exactly call yourself a creative writer if you're relying on the creativity of other writers from long ago. What will make your story so captivating is your unique spin on telling it? But if you load it down with predictable ideas, you'll lose the magic of your writing.
So, avoid cliches whenever possible or turn them on their head, if your genre requires them. Let's get started by discussing the most treacherous offenders.
Here's a look at the most overused literary ideas.
One of the most common cliches in all of literature is the love triangle. Two lovesick puppies vying for the affection of one character. Excuse me while I roll my eyes.
The love triangle is a staple, especially in the romance and YA genres, and is not likely to be abandoned. However, if your genre requires that you use this cliche, at least turn it on its head. Instead of following the predictable pattern of the protagonist choosing the one that he or she obviously has the most chemistry with, try something unusual like not introducing a love story at all, or allowing the protagonist to choose the wrong person, only to regret it in the end.
In the chosen one cliche, only this one person can change the world. In fact, the fate of the entire world rests on this one character (who's usually in his teens or early 20s).
Are you as tired as I am of the chosen one cliche?
You know this one well because it's perhaps the most popular literary cliches of all time, seen everywhere from The Lord of the Rings to Nineteen Eighty-Four. One thing that George Orwell does well in Nineteen Eighty-Four is to shake up the idea of the chosen one. Here's a vague spoiler alert: The protagonist, Winston, may be considered by the reader as the chosen one initially, but over the course of the novel, it becomes painfully clear that no one can escape the tyranny of totalitarianism.
She's tough as nails. She's mad as hell. She's a maneater. Unless you want your heroine to sound like the lyrics of a 1980s song, you have to avoid this two-dimensional stereotype. Strong women don't have to be physically strong or display traditionally masculine qualities in order to be "strong." But that also doesn't exclude this type of woman from being a heroine.
My point is that your characters, male and female alike, must have dimension. There needs to be a motivation behind why they are the way that they are. Creating the portrait of a woman who only exists in fairy tales is not solid storytelling. It will disappoint your reader because this type of character is hopelessly unrelatable.
For more information on writing women, be sure to check out this guide: Your Guide to Writing Women.
At the risk of sounding heartless, and it wouldn't be the first time, don't fall back on blaming abusive parents for your character's bad behavior.
Every human on earth can point back to a time when their mommy didn't hug them or tuck them in (some admittedly more than others). However, that is not an excuse or a motivation for your character's behavior— that's just lazy writing.
The bad parent is a common cliche in writing that's used to explain away poor choices. However, there are plenty of people who don't become evil because of a past wrong. For this reason, you need to rely on characterization, mainly personality, instead of the default bad parent cliche.
First person, third person— each point of view has its perks. But when it comes to describing a protagonist, it's a lot easier to do so when writing in the third person. As the narrator, you're able to objectively describe every character in your story, including the protagonist. However, when you're writing in first person as the protagonist, self-descriptions get tricky. How do you do it without making the narrator-protagonist sound self-indulgent or self-effacing?
You could use a mirror or reflection, but don't do that. It's an unrealistic cliche that shows your laziness as a writer. Who stands in front of the mirror and rattles off a list of what they look like?
Instead, you can leave it up to the reader to form his or her own imagination. Weave in hints about what you imagine the protagonist to look like (describing his parents or allowing another character to remark about his features), but don't allow the narrator to describe himself. It's cringeworthy.
Cliches were not always cliches. Once upon a time, they were each fresh ideas. Just like those writers of yesteryear, you can come up with your own unique spin on storytelling. Challenge yourself to come up with different ways to tell a timeless tale.
Do you have any additional literary cliches that you hate? We'd love to hear them. Share it in the comments section below.
Don't forget to download your list of 5 more writing cliches to avoid here.
It's really amazing article, thank you for sharing this!
In love with a billionaire boss. There are too many now… check out al the romance books that are about a billionaire.. over it.
Seems like I have the cliche of a chosen one hero. It dawned upon me that I use it all the time. In my first novel I published with the help of Ashley Garrow from http://www.writersdigest.com/ I deliberately used this type of a character, as it was needed for the development of the whole fiction narrative. Focalization was quite vivid and the first person narration contributed to it.
But when I now look at the next novels, I see that it's pretty much the same. I do have an effect of copied stories.
I fear that my current short story is veering towards the Love Triangle cliche, although that's only in the protagonist's eyes as the person she is falling for is not what she seems. If a Triangle is an illusion is it a cliche?
Yes. Love itself is always partly illusion. The fact that it may be completely illusory changes nothing about the fact that it is love.
On the additional list, one of my characters is "royalty" but she already knows it and it presents more problems than it's worth. Is that an ok twist?

Bananarama are an English female pop music vocal group formed in London in 1979 by friends Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward. Their success on both pop and dance charts have earned the group a listing in The Guinness Book of World Records as the all-female group with the most chart entries in the world, a record which they still hold.
They released their debut single "Aie a Mwana" in 1981. Between 1982 and 2009, they had 28 singles reach the Top 50 of the UK singles chart. Their 10 UK Top 10 hits include "It Ain't What You Do..." (#4 1982), "Really Saying Something" (#5 1982), "Shy Boy" (#4 1982), "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" (#5 1983), "Cruel Summer (#8 1983), "Robert De Niro's Waiting..." (#3 1984) and "Love in the First Degree" (UK #3 1987). In 1986, they had a US number one with another of their UK Top 10 hits, "Venus" (US #1 UK #8). In total, they had 11 singles reach the US Billboard Hot 100 (1982-1988), including two more in the top 10, with "Cruel Summer" (#9 1984) and "I Heard a Rumour" (#4 1987). They are associated with the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US. In 1988, "Love in the First Degree" earned them a Brit Award nomination for Best British Single, while their fourth album Wow! (1987), topped the Australian album chart.
Following Fahey's departure from the group in 1988, Jacquie O'Sullivan joined the group for three years and they had UK Top 10 hits with "I Want You Back" (#5 1988) and "Help!" (#3 1989). In addition to their chart success, the band is also known for their vocal style, generally singing in unison rather than in harmony like most vocal groups. Since 1992, Woodward and Dallin have continued Bananarama as a duo, with hits including "Movin' On" (#24 1992) and "More, More, More" (#24 1993). In 2005, they had their first UK Top 40 hits in 12 years, with the singles "Move in My Direction" (#14) and "Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango)" (#26). The latter also reached number two on the US Dance Chart.

With the SnowTec technology developed by Ice Business you can have snow projects all year round! While conventional snow systems depend on the outside temperature, the SnowTec is designed for snow production within a temperature range of -4°C and +35°C. As we are really interested that our products are environmentally friendly, an important point for us is that no chimical or biological additives are needed for the snow making process: just water and electricity!


Mercy Health is widely known throughout the Toledo community for its philanthropic efforts. Through collaboration with other local health, education, social service, nonprofit and governmental agencies, Mercy Health has increased awareness of community issues while educating our community about health, wellness and risk factors to improve the quality of life for the residents of Northwest Ohio.
The healthcare organization regularly supports programs that benefit the poor and underserved of the community and projects that help people of all ages develop important life skills to be successful as community citizens.
For its continued commitment to philanthropic giving and leadership, Mercy Health will receive the Outstanding Corporate Philanthropist award at the Association of Fundraising Professionals - Northwest Ohio Chapter's 30th Annual National Philanthropy Day Celebration.
The National Philanthropy Day event, which will be held on November 9, 2017 from 11 am - 1:30 pm at Premier Banquet Hall in Toledo, is a community celebration of the philanthropic spirit and practice that results when we work together to "Change the World with a Giving Heart."
Mercy Health was nominated for this award by the Toledo Lucas County Public Library. Mercy Health has supported several initiatives for the Toledo Lucas County Public Library, but its $250,000 gift for the new King Road Branch Library is the largest single gift ever given for any of the Library's 19 branches. The King Road Branch Library serves almost 30,000 people in western Lucas County, reaching families with young children and individuals over 65.
Mercy Health's generous gift made a dramatic impact on the branch's capital campaign, stimulating additional support from corporate and individual donors to provide vital learning opportunities through the funding of critical technology and equipment for the community meeting room that opened in September 2016. A wide range of community organizations hold programs and meetings at the Branch, including Lucas County Health Department, League of Women Voters, Maumee Valley Adventurers, Oak Openings Conservancy, Sylvania City Schools, and the YWCA. From September 2016 through April 2017, a total of 334 events with 4,460 attendees were held at King Road.
"Mercy Health has stood on strong shoulders since its beginning and our commitment does not waver in today's complex world where the need for philanthropic intervention is more involved," said Sister Dorothy Thum, Senior Vice President of Mission and Values Integration at Mercy Health. "We put the person first in every decision we make. Whether we are reaching out to seniors with chronic disease, educating students with health challenges, improving the well-being of families with infants, or going out to migrant camps, Mercy Health collaborates with people to make a difference in their lives."
"We thank the Toledo Lucas County Public Library for nominating Mercy Health for the Outstanding Corporate Philanthropist award and are deeply honored that the AFP-NWO selected us as this year's recipient," she added.
Space for the National Philanthropy Day event is limited to 500 guests, so those who would like to attend are encouraged to reserve their tickets now. Reservations can be made online at AFPNWO.org or by calling 330-329-2472. Sponsorship opportunities are also available at AFPNWO.org/sponsorships.php.
The Northwest Ohio (NWO) Chapter of AFP is an inclusive and diverse community of more than 125 fundraising professionals from 78 nonprofits and 9 consulting firms in 15 counties throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan whose nonprofits raise more than $277 million dollars annually. Members and their institutions abide by a Code of Ethics and Donor Bill of Rights to ensure that funds are raised and stewarded ethically to benefit people within our community, thus strengthening public trust in philanthropy.
Mercy Health is based in Toledo, Ohio and serves 20 counties in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. Mercy Health's mission began in 1855 when the Grey nuns came to Toledo, Ohio, which was then a black swap area ridden with disease and poverty. The Grey nuns started a healing ministry and founded the first hospital in Toledo. At the beginning of the flu epidemic in 1917, the Sisters of Mercy founded Mercy Hospital. In 2015, Mercy Health gave $106.8 M in community benefits through partnerships and sponsorships, supporting organizations such as: Way Public Library, American Heart Association, Susan G. Komen, March of Dimes, American Cancer Society, African American Legacy Project, Local Chambers of Commerce, area schools (Sylvania, Perrysburg, Oregon, Central Catholic High School, Toledo Public Schools), Toledo Symphony, Toledo Museum of Art, The Toledo Zoo, Mercy Health Glass City Marathon, Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center, East Toledo Family Center, Diocese of Toledo, The Victory Center, and the Marathon Classic.

Bungie Confirms that Destiny's PvP Mode is Here to Stay
After a speculative piece from Forbes, and key departures from the development team at Bungie, there was player concern that the studio might leave the Crucible behind in the next entry. In a livestream on Wednesday, the developers eased the minds of competitive Destiny players by saying that the development of Bungie continues.
Valve Index Details Leak on Steam Store
Over the weekend, Valve unveiled the first official teaser for its first-party virtual reality headset. At the time, the teaser promised more information in May 2019, but it looks like a leaked Steam page beat them to the punch a little bit. The page is still very much a placeholder, but it confirmed a few key details; the headset is expected to start shipping on the 15th of June, and it will come with two controllers (one for each hand) and base stations.
Esports Organizations Are Betting on the Untested Apex Legends
Apex Legends has had a wildly successful launch. While it's unquestionably a successful battle royale and a free-to-play smash for Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts, that doesn't necessarily translate into longer-term staying power. Can Apex Legends sustain a successful esports ecosystem? That's a big question with an uncertain answer, but organizations are already assembling teams to take to the game, even though it's not clear what Apex Legends might look like in six months or a year.
Epic Games CEO Clarifies Position about Store Exclusivity
A few weeks back, Epic Games' Steve Allison spoke to PCWorld about the exclusive deals it was striking with publishers to get games on its platform. Allison stated, "We will definitely not be doing exclusives at this scale for a long period of time." A few days after that statement, Epic signed a deal with the developers behind Observation that was essentially a repeat of the situation with Metro Exodus.

KiwiRail completes restoration of freight line from Napier to Wairoa
Staff Writer June 18, 2019, 12:23 pm June 18, 2019
KiwiRail has announced that the Napier-Wairoa line has been reinstated following several years of disuse.
The 115-kilometre, North Island line fell into disuse in December 2012 after being damaged by a storm and was not repaired. It has been restored with the allocation of NZ$6.2 million in funds through the New Zealand Government's Provincial Growth Fund.
The line's primary purpose is to run freight logs for the local timber industry. Reopening the line is set to ease congestion on the roads and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the number of log deliveries by road. In all, KiwiRail anticipates an initial reduction of more than 5,000 ruck journey per year on the road from Wairoa to Napier, to increase to 15,000 as services increase.
'The Wairoa-Napier road was never intended to cope with the volume of logs that is coming on stream, and rail is the ideal way to get that timber to overseas customers," said KiwiRail Group chief executive officer Greg Miller.
"The overall funding KiwiRail received has meant we are able to get ahead of the curve and grow our business for the benefit of this region."
Miller said that now that work on the line had been completed, KiwiRail would work to establish a log hub in Wairoa so that trains could begin to run in time for harvesting at the end of winter.
"We know from our discussions with the forestry industry there is a need for our services," he said.
"The amount of timber flowing from forests in the region is expected to quadruple in the next four years, and to get all those logs to market will require all transport networks working efficiently together."

My name is Melanie Schroder and have been the Church Secretary since August 1, 2017. While I am not a Texas native, we have recently planted our roots here in Howe. I was born and raised in Illinois about an hour southwest of Chicago in the town of Morris, it was home for me for 24 years. On May 14, 2002 I married my high school sweetheart, Brett. With my husband's prior military service we've led a pretty adventurous life so far by living in six different states (Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, Georgia, Delaware, & Texas) as well as four years in Germany. I have four kids, each born in a different state. Colvin was born in my hometown in Illinois in 2004. Cailey was born in Georgia in 2009. Molly was born in Wittlich, Germany in 2012. Luke was born in Delaware in 2013. I was fortunate enough to be able to stay home with my kids for the past 9 years. The timing was perfect for the secretary position opening and I knew it was just right for me, and here I am. My hobbies include travel (which sadly has declined in recent years), and also sewing. I would consider myself a novice and I have a lot to learn, I am intimidated by patterns and my approach is more of a "just winging it" style. Haha! Someday I hope to expand on my sewing skills and learn to quilt.

Next-gen Mahindra XUV500 to debut as e-SUV concept at Auto Expo 2020
eXUV300, eKUV100 and Atom EV quadricycle will be showcased too.
Mahindra has announced that it will showcase four new electric vehicles at the upcoming 2020 Auto Expo. The carmaker has released a first image that gives a glimpse of its Auto Expo line-up.
The left-most vehicle in the image seems to be an all-new electric SUV concept that will most likely preview the next-gen XUV500 SUV. The new XUV500 is due to launch in 2020 with petrol and diesel engines. The new XUV500 will be new from the ground up but will offer three rows of seating just like its predecessor.
The second vehicle from the left teases the electric version of the XUV300 SUV, likely to be called Mahindra eXUV300. The electric SUV will be shown in close-to-production form at Auto Expo 2020. The eXUV300 Mahindra will likely be powered by a near-130hp electric motor and energy will be provided by a 40kWh battery pack capable of delivering a range of above 300km on a single charge. The eXUV300 is expected to be offered with two battery versions – a more affordable version and a pricier, long-range version. The eXUV300 will support AC, as well as DC fast-charging and be the first product with battery cells developed exclusively for India applications by LG Chem – a Korean battery manufacturer that has been collaborating with Mahindra in the field of advanced lithium-ion battery technology. The production-spec eXUV300 will launch in 2021 and will be a key rival to the recently launched and aggressively priced Nexon EV in our market.
The third vehicle in the teaser is the eKUV100, which Mahindra will showcase in its final production-spec model. The eKUV100 is expected to be on sale in the April-June 2020 period. The company is aiming for an aggressive price for its smallest electric SUV and has confirmed that the starting price of the model will be under Rs 9 lakh. The production-spec eKUV100 will deliver a range of 130-150km on a single charge. The company will target the fleet segment with this model initially.The fourth vehicle in the image will be Mahindra's quadricycle. This new vehicle will be a Bajaj Qute rival in the Indian market and will come with an electric power train as well and will be aimed at tier-II and tier-III cities.
The above mentioned EV range will be part of an 18-vehicle line-up by the brand as announced earlier. The company however, will not unveil the next-gen Thar at the Auto Expo 2020.

Eyjafjallajokull: Images from The Land of Fire and Ice – at Raw Materials
Witness the spectacle of nature's fury from a safe distance – Lucas Jackson's magnificent images of the recent volcanic explosion in Iceland, entitled Eyjafjallajokull: Images from The Land of Fire and Ice, will be on exhibit in the WindowBox Gallery at Raw Materials, in Downtown LA. This stunning exhibition runs until October 2, 2011.
Lucas Jackson is a former resident of Downtown Los Angeles and currently a staff photographer for Reuters out of New York City. Assignments covered by Jackson for Reuters include a wide array of domestic and international assignments that range from the Academy Awards the bitter conflict and ongoing war in Afghanistan.
His dramatic images of Iceland's tempestuous volcano Eyjafjallajokull have graced the cover of The Economist, been featured in a Time Magazine inset as well as a doubletruck (a pair of facing pages) in Newsweek, and on the front pages of countless newspapers.
Eyjafjallajokull: The Land of Fire and Ice is a collection of stunning photographic images taken in April 2010, when Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland's largest volcanoes, exploded and sent clouds of ash and volcanic matter soaring over European airspace, affecting millions of travelers around the world. It was the worst peacetime air travel disruption in history.
Playing on the intersection between fire and ice, in Eyjafjallajokull, Jackson's award-winning photographs of the ethereal Northern Lights and lightning engulfing the exploding volcano take their place alongside images of the devastation on the surrounding landscape, livestock, and farmers living in the shadow of the volcano.
"I hope that my images convey even a fraction of the natural splendor that is almost commonplace here in Iceland. I have been humbled, and I do consider myself lucky, not because I took some pretty pictures, but because I got to be in the position to take them and was able to witness the event in the first person," says Jackson.
Jackson has garnered numerous international awards for his work, including:
China Press Photographers Association
Pictures of the Year International
PDN Photo Annual
Prix de la Photographie
National Press Photographers Association Best of Photojournalism
New York Press Photographers Association
