Spotlight: Earth Day
To celebrate Earth Day, the Fireplace Screen Shop would like to recognize the achievements in protecting the planet and the animals that live on it of one our best-selling brands. In 1994, Blue Rhino was founded as a business devoted to recycling. The original Blue Rhino store in North Carolina was a propane exchange center, where people could return their empty propane tanks and obtain new ones to take home. The process kept propane tanks out of landfills and saved customers money, too.
The appeal of exchanging propane tanks rather than throwing old ones away led to quick growth for Blue Rhino, and the company continued to expand, opening up stores all across North Carolina and, eventually, across the entire United States. Owner Bill Prim decided to expand the business into manufacturing outdoor living products, fireplace screens, tool sets, log carriers and other fireplace accessories.
As Blue Rhino has grown and enjoyed ever-increasing success, Prim has never forgotten the inspiration for his company--protecting the planet--or the inspiration for its name--wild rhinos that he saw while on a photo safari in Africa. The rhinoceros is an endangered species that could be completely wiped out in as little as 10 years without steps to protect it. Blue Rhino partners with the American Association of Zoo Keepers to spread awareness about the plight of the 17,500 rhinos that are estimated to be left in the wild. Each year, the company sponsors the Bowling for Rhinos charity event, which has raised more than $4 million to protect rhinos in the wild.

Establishing a policy for regular regression testing is key to achieving successful, reliable, and predictable software development projects. Regression testing provides the only reliable means to verify that code base changes and additions don't "break" an application's existing functionality, and it can have the single greatest impact in controlling product release delays, budget overruns, and the prospect of software errors slipping into released/deployed products. Yet regression testing is not widely practiced. Development organizations often give up on regression testing because they find it complicated and difficult to maintain. But the major reason for failure with regression testing is the absence of a well-defined and implemented policy and an organizational commitment to that policy.
Regression testing identifies when code modifications cause previously-working functionality to regress, or fail, ultimately allowing you to catch regression errors as soon as they are introduced. Most organizations verify critical functionality once, and then assume it continues to work unless they intentionally modify it. However, even routine and minor code changes can have unexpected side effects that might break previously-verified functionality.
The purpose of regression testing is to detect unexpected faults — especially those that occur because a developer did not fully understand the internal code correlations when modifying or extending code. Every time code is modified or used in a new environment, regression testing should be used to check the code's integrity. Ideally, regression testing is performed nightly (during automated builds) to ensure that errors are detected and fixed as soon as possible.
Regression testing should be tightly linked to functional testing, and be built from the successful test cases developed and used in functional testing. These test cases, which verified an application's behavior or functionality, are then rerun regularly as regression tests and become the means for verifying that the application continues to work correctly as new code is being added. During regression testing, specified test cases are run and current outcomes are compared to previously-recorded outcomes. You will be alerted to any discrepancies between current responses and control responses. Subsequent regression test runs will remind you of any discrepancies until the application returns the expected result.
Software development organizations with effective regression testing policies significantly improve the effectiveness of their software development staff and the success of their projects. Early identification of problems introduced by code modifications can save countless hours of development time spent chasing and resolving software errors, and allows the team to maintain and modify the application without fear of breaking previously-correct functionality.
An effective regression testing policy involves the definition of guidelines for regression system usage, and then the implementation and integration of those guidelines (along with supporting technologies and configurations) into your software development lifecycle to ensure that your teams apply the policy consistently and regularly. It also requires a means to monitor and measure the policy's application as well as report the data it is tracking. Inconsistent usage can result in existing errors going undetected — or new errors being introduced — due to unchecked modifications to the code over time.

Disrupting the Disruptors: Peer-to-Peer Car Sharing Service Launches Nationally
from the yet-some-people-are-still-worrying-about-CD-sales-for-chrissakes dept
One of the points we often try to make at Techdirt is that the effects of disruptive technologies are going to be felt far beyond the entertainment and publishing industries—they are not limited to the online world. The internet creates abundance of information, but it also creates a push towards decentralization in all things, and that's one of the big ways it intersects with the physical: although you can't download a car, you can create whole new systems for buying, selling, renting, reviewing and maintaining cars, and those systems will replace established but less-efficient ones.
Nobody is immune—not even the last disruptor. Companies like Zipcar changed the game with their car-sharing services, but they are already facing new challengers. RelayRides, launching nationally this week, has a model that takes things one step further:
While those companies own fleets of cars, RelayRides is entirely peer-to-peer — if you have a car, then you can make it available for rental when you're not using it. RelayRides says the average car owner makes $250 a month from the program.
Since it takes advantage of the cars already on the road, founder and chief community officer Shelby Clark argues that peer-to-peer carsharing can have a big impact—after all, a fleet-based company couldn't simply declare one day that it's launching nationally.
That's especially true in non-urban areas. For example, Zipcar doesn't have any cars available in the Los Angeles suburb where I grew up, and it's hard to imagine that establishing a fleet there would make economic sense anytime soon.
How big and how successful this approach will become remains to be seen, but it's a creative idea that makes a clear point: disruption can happen anywhere, to anyone. As the entertainment industry continues to fight progress, experts from every side of the debate love to make profound-sounding statements about how the internet has changed our media consumption habits, but that's old news. From mobile-based taxi & limo services to the coming era of 3D printers and things like the Pirate Bay's Physibles site, digital technologies are disrupting a lot of things, not just media. Governments and industries cannot continue getting bogged down in tiresome debates about saving obsolete business models—not if they want to have any hope of embracing the opportunities, and solving the potential problems, of a fast-approaching future.

Sebastian Janikowski kicked a franchise-record six field goals and Michael Bush scored on a late 3-yard run as the Raiders remained in first place in the AFC West with a hard-earned 25-20 win over the Chicago Bears Sunday at O.co Coliseum.
Janikowski connected from distances of 40, 47, 42, 19, 37 and 44 yards without a miss, breaking the previous club record of five field goals he shared with Jeff Jaeger.
The Raiders improved to 7-4 to remain atop the division while Chicago slipped to 7-4, its hopes of making the playoffs almost certainly reduced to being a wild card because of the presence of the unbeaten Green Bay Packers in the NFC North.
Chicago scored on a 29-yard pass from quarterback Caleb Hanie to Johnny Knox and on field goals of 50 and 53 yards by Robbie Gould and with 2:11 left on a 9-yard pass from Hanie to tight end Kellen Davis with 2:11 left.
The play was set up by an 81-yard rainbow from Hanie to Knox, who pulled the ball in with one arm despite tight defense by free safety Matt Giordano.
Raiders' rookie David Ausberry recovered the ensuing onsides kick after Giordano had the ball knocked loose by Charles Tillman.
With the score 18-13, Oakland finally broke through on Bush's 3-yard run with 3:47 left, a play that was set up by a perfectly thrown 48-yard strike from quarterback Carson Palmer to wide receiver Louis Murphy against a trailing Tim Jennings.
Bush crashed through on the next play to give the Raiders a 12-point lead, much to the delight of a sold out crowd delighted to see Oakland improve to 3-3 at home.
It capped a 74-yard drive during which the Raiders had a third-and-1 first down wiped out on a holding penalty by Samson Satele, only to have Palmer come back and hit Chaz Schilens for 14 yards and the first down on the following play.
The last time Chicago got the ball back was at the 4-yard line after a 51-yard punt from Shane Lechler, who earlier had a team-record 80-yard punt and also pinned the Bears back at the 3 on another possession.

Best Bites From San Francisco's Taste of the Nation
Spring Pea Soup
A week ago, we attended Taste of the Nation, a charity event that benefits Share Our Strength. The production, which is definitively one of San Francisco's most savory soirées, is always popular, but this year it was positively hopping. There were about 700 attendees and 46 chefs, and insanely delicious pesto pizza was merely the tip of the gastronomical iceberg when it came to what we ate. To see the rest, read more.

High-Flying Affair
Delvin Hughley of the Colorado Crush and his wife, Carmela, prepare to take flight at Rotors of the Rockies. Photo by Steve Peterson/Special to The Post
Getting a first-time affair of the ground can be tough, but if you have a good cause and impeccable connections it's bound to take flight. Just like the Be Beautiful Be Yourself Jet Set Fashion Show.
This benefit for the Rocky Mountain Down Syndrome Educational Fund and ARC Thrift of Colorado raised $600,000 thanks to the hard work of a committee headed by Michelle Sie Whitten and Lloyd Lewis. Both are the parents of Down syndrome children.
Michelle is the daughter of Anna and Starz Encore founder and former chairman John Sie. She is executive director of the Anna and John J. Sie Foundation. The Sie family recently gave $34 million to establish a clinic on the Anschutz Medical Campus for Down syndrome research.
Lewis is the president and chief executive officer of ARC Thrift of Colorado, the state's leading funder of advocacy programs for children and adults with developmental disabilities. ARC programs include jobs, housing, medical services and schools.
They put together a one-of-a-kind fund-raiser that filled Rotors of the Rockies to overflowing. The 800-plus guests arrived to a red carpet welcome at the Broomfield hangar, and after entrusting their cars to Jay's Valet could pause for a souvenir photograph, in front of the 9News helicopter with traffic reporter Amelia Earhart, before going inside for cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and a silent auction.
Those holding the top-priced tickets were invited to go for a whirlybird ride before sitting down to a beef filet and chocolate ravioli dinner from Epicurean Catering.
All of which was fun, but the best was saved for last: a Saks Fifth Avenue fashion show emceed by 9News anchor Bazi Kanani. As gorgeous as the designer duds were, though, it was the guest models who stole the show.
Twenty-one adults and children with Down syndrome and/or other developmental disabilities were accompanied on the runway by cheerleaders from the Colorado Crush arena football team.
Adult models were David Eaton, Juan Grado, Jodi Luft, Donene Mumaw, Garnons Muth and Lisa Potter. Children doing their supermodel thing were Grace Arnold, Hannah Atkinson, Megan Bomgaars, Logan Borer, Ryan Boryla, Brianna Cordova, Lyssa Dominguez, Will Harmon, Jack Holm, Kylee Nevergall, Jessica Nickolaus, Sidney Robertson, Dylan Secrist, Cameron Tafoya and Walker Wittman.
Honorary chairmen of the benefit were Gov. Bill and Jeannie Ritter; Mayors John Hickenlooper (Denver) and Patrick Quinn (Broomfield); and U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar and his wife, Hope. The honorary committee included some of the biggest names in sports, medicine, philanthropy and business: John Elway; Sharon Magness Blake and Ernie Blake; Ricki and David Rest; Anna Sie; Kay Cline; Pat Cortez and Manuel Martinez; Peter and Philae Dominick; Dan and Misti Hawkins; John and Linda Lynch; Jack and Pat McDonnell; Chris Meza; Ron and Naomi Montoya; Federico and Cindy Pena; Dr. Dean Prina and Michael Young.
Working committee members were Krista Agramonte, Courtney Allen, Jan Brennan, Emily Brett, Anca Call, Beth Caplinger, Jodi Charmatz, Danielle Dascalos, Regina Fyola, Rebecca Lim, Jane Lundwall, Rebecca Macsovits, Ellen Mednick, Jacque Montgomery, Diana Moore, Paula Newberry, Jesse Ogas, Cynthia Petrus, Michelle Root, Bruce Stahlman, Luke Stahmer, Nancy Lamb Thompson and Becky Wentworth.
The Gulfstream G5 Sponsors were the Anna and John J. Sie Foundation; ARC Thrift; Debbie and Lee Alpert; Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck; Disaboom; the Gold, Michelson, Perry-Rest and Alpert families; HC Companies (the Cook, Farber, Lustig and Sapkin families); the Perry family; Liberty Global; MDC/Richmond American Homes Foundation; Brandon and Jackie Perry; Stifel Nicolaus; and Wells Fargo.

LAKE LOUISE — Lindsey Vonn returns to the ski resort dubbed "Lake Lindsey" determined to add to her wins, and also to compete against the men in the future.
With 11 victories, no other woman has won more World Cup ski races at Lake Louise than the American star. Vonn has also finished on the podium here 17 times since her first win in 2004.
The world governing body of skiing, FIS, denied her request to race in the men's World Cup downhill and super-G on Saturday and Sunday.
Vonn must content herself trying to add to her pile of victories in the women's downhills this Friday and Saturday and in Sunday's super-G. She swept all three in 2011 for Lake Louise hat trick.
The 28-year-old won Tuesday's first training run by almost a second over runner-up Maria Riesch-Hoefl of Germany. Dominique Gisin of Switzerland was third.
After clocking a top speed of 136.36 kilometres per hour, Vonn was wistful about what might have been has FIS given her the green light.
"You'd think in the year 2012 we can figure out a way to make it work," she said. "Gender isn't really an issue in pretty much all aspects of life now. I think there's got to be a way to put aside gender and put aside pride and ego and do something I personally would love to do, but also I think would be great for the sport."
The defending overall World Cup champion says her father Alan, a lawyer, is helping her look into legal avenues to racing against the men.
"We're kind of trying to see if there's another way to approach the situation," she said. "It was definitely disappointing that FIS came out and said absolutely there's no way.
"They pretty much shut me down on the basis of gender, so maybe there's something to be found there. I'm doing some research, doing my homework, and we'll see. It's going to take a little time to get everything organized and figure out how to we approach it."
Alpine Canada president Max Gartner was a vocal supporter of Vonn racing at Lake Louise. He said he's had preliminary discussions with her sponsor Red Bull about the possibility of staging an exhibition mixed gender race.
"I'm really thankful Max has come out and supported me so strongly," she said. "I'm really excited about the idea to do an exhibition, but to be honest, I really want to race in a real race.
"I want to actually compete in a normal situation where the same points are on the line. If my only option is to race an exhibition I will 100 per cent do that, but I'm still hoping to race in the actual World Cup."
Vonn says that in hindsight, she might not have been able to compete in the men's races at Lake Louise last weekend.
A recent intestinal ailment hospitalized her for two nights and kept her off snow for several days.
She finished 21st in a giant slalom in Aspen, Colo., on Saturday and skipped the following day's slalom to prepare for Lake Louise.
"When I cross the finish line, I'm still more out of breath than I normally would be and my legs are a bit more tired than normal." she said Tuesday. "All in all, I'm still able, at least in downhill, to ski the way I want to. Aspen definitely didn't go that well. I think by the weekend, I should be 100 per cent."
Vonn has raced to victory at Lake Louise through trials and tribulations. Her sweep last year came a few days after she announced her divorce from Thomas Vonn, her husband of four years.
In 2009, Vonn crossed the finish line with blood dribbling from her mouth. Her knee connected with her chin during the race, yet Vonn still won the first of her two downhills that year.
Vonn executed an incredible piece of skiing in 2010 in a race she didn't win. She went down on her left hip entering a section of the course named Fall Away, but made an impressive recovery on the slope's face and actually made up time on the bottom section.
Vonn finished second in that downhill to Riesch-Hoefl. It was Vonn's second runner-up result to the German in as many days, but Vonn wasn't leaving Lake Louise without a victory.
She won the super-G on the final day.
The confidence Vonn has in her abilities at Lake Louise can help her compensate for less-than-optimum health.
"I feel like no matter who the season starts or how I'm feeling, I can always come to Lake Louise and have a good race," she said.
"I know what I'm doing and I trust myself a lot more here than I do anywhere else. It's nice to stand in the start gate and know 'hey, I've won here a lot of times and I know what I'm doing and you just have to go.'
"I think that's going to help me a lot this weekend despite being sick and not getting much training in. I know how to ski here and I know I can win."
Larisa Yurkiw of Owen Sound, Ont., was 28th in the first training run. She'll be the lone Canadian racing the downhills Friday and Saturday.
Marie-Pier Prefontaine of Saint Saveur, Que., and Marie-Michele Gagnon of Lac-Etchemin, Que., are both slalom specialists and will compete in Sunday's super-G.

Hannah Jones scored a career-high two goals on Friday versus Saint Joseph's.
The Lady Flames field hockey team opened the 2013 season with a convincing 4-0 defeat of the visiting Saint Joseph's Hawks on Friday afternoon at Liberty Field Hockey Field. The win helped Liberty avenge a loss versus the Hawks to open the 2012 season. Hannah Jones matched her goal total from the entire 2012 season by scoring a pair of goals for the Lady Flames, while Natalie Barr matched the program's single-game record for assists with two.
The visitors started quickly, outshooting Liberty 3-1 in the contest's opening 10 minutes.
Liberty countered with a push into the Hawks' circle with just under 25 minutes remaining in the first half. Natalie Barr forced a penalty on Saint Joseph's, resulting in a penalty stroke opportunity for Liberty. Jones took the stroke and lifted the ball past Hawks' goalkeeper Rachel Barnett into the back of the cage to give the Lady Flames the 1-0 advantage.
The score would remain 1-0 until the 6:19 mark of the first stanza. Natalie Barr delivered the first of her two assists, feeding a crossing pass to Ashlee Krulock in front of the Hawks' cage. Krulock flicked the pass into the top of the goal, increasing Liberty's lead to 2-0.
The Lady Flames defense finished the first half strong after allowing the three early shots. Saint Joseph's did not record a shot during the final 26:35 of the opening frame.
Just as they did to open the game, the Hawks started the second half strong, registering four early shots. Liberty goalkeeper Ann Jefferis, making her first start in goal since the 2011 season, notched two saves during that span to keep the Lady Flames lead intact.
With 25:28 showing on the second half clock, Liberty forced its third penalty corner of the contest. Jones inserted the ball into the top of the circle to a waiting Bethany Barr. After several passes, the ball ended up on the stick of Natalie Barr. The Lady Flames leading scorer from a year ago ripped the ball by Barnett into the cage, giving Liberty a 3-0 cushion.
Less than 10 minutes later, Liberty capped the day's scoring with its fourth goal of the game. Off of another penalty corner attempt, Natalie Barr struck the ball toward the goal. The ball sailed past the goalie to a waiting Jones who was able to deflect the ball into the cage for her second tally of the contest.
Jefferis and the rest of the Lady Flames defense preserved the shutout, surrendering just two shots over the final 31:16 of the second half.
For the contest, Liberty outshot Saint Joseph's 16-9, including an 11-6 advantage in the second frame. Both teams forced four penalty corners each. Jefferis posted four saves in goal for the Lady Flames en route to the fourth shutout in her Liberty career. Barnett finished with nine saves in the cage for the Hawks.
The Lady Flames will trek across the country next weekend to square off against a pair of NorPac West Division foes. On Sept. 6, Liberty will face UC Davis in a neutral site game at Cal at 10 p.m. EST. The Lady Flames will wrap up the weekend versus Cal on Sept. 8 at 5 p.m. EST. The contests will serve as the beginning of a six-game road stretch for Liberty. For a more in-depth look at the Lady Flames' field hockey program, including postgame interviews and video packages, follow the team on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

'Avatar' Neyrtiti First Glimpse
Posted by Brian on 07/27/2009
Source: Official Site
We're clearly rolling into the start of a large marketing push. Here's a glimpse at Zoe Saldana's character in the upcoming James Cameron epic, Avatar. This will most likely be another poster to follow the one of Sam Worthington's avatar. Hopefully, this is the start of a series as I'd love to see Sigourney Weaver's avatar next, or perhaps a poster for each creature on Pandora or the locations themselves. GODDAMNIT I NEED TO SEE THIS NOW!

- Difficult business climate
Risk assessment
Major investment projects drive growth
After two years of strong expansion as the economy experienced a catch-up phase following a challenging 2015, notably due to the Ebola outbreak, growth slowed significantly in 2018. Nevertheless, it will remain vigorous in 2019and is expected to be driven by investment, both public and private, and mining production (bauxite). The National Economic and Social Development Plan (PNDES) – whose financing, negotiated at the end of 2017, includes numerous PPPs – aims to fix the country's infrastructure deficit and will extend until 2020. One of the sectors targeted is energy, with the goal of increasing access to electricity to 35% by 2020 and 100% by 2030 (compared with 29% in 2015), through a national programme. Four dam projects are planned, the largest of which, Souapiti, is expected to generate more than 500 megawatts, as compared with 773.97 MW for the country as a whole today. With more than a billion dollars in Chinese financing and built by China International Water and Electric Corporation, the new dam should be completed by early 2020.
Energy is a strategic sector for the country. It is needed to operate the mines, which in 2018 caused load shedding in some Guinean cities, particularly Siguiri. It is also key to the government's project to transform bauxite into alumina, whose export price is about 12 times higher. Nine projects to transform bauxite into alumina and one to turn alumina into aluminium are under review. Bauxite production is expected to increase further in 2019, when the Bel Air mine operated by Alufer moves to full production mode, making the country the world's third-largest exporter. More generally, mining production, which is highly diversified (gold, diamond, iron), should support growth. Job creation in this sector, including about 10,000 jobs for a single alumina refinery and railway project in Dapilon in the Kobe region, along with higher yields and increased agricultural processing should support economic growth through private consumption. However, consumption continues to be affected by high inflation, particularly due to the rise in food prices.
The many projects are a drag on the current account
The budget balance is expected to remain in the red in 2019. The level of grants – slightly above 1% of GDP – will help to lower the deficit. The government, which relies heavily on the private sector to fund infrastructure investment, will still have to contribute to the financing by raising the level of investment spending (to about 7.5% of GDP). Less affected by security needs than some of its neighbours, Guinea is expected to see its current expenditure decline slightly to remain at 11% of GDP.
The current account deficit should narrow in 2019, while still being significant. The forecast reduction in the trade deficit by more than 6% of GDP will be driven by mining exports, which account for more than 90% of exports. Meanwhile, the continuation of relatively high oil prices should be offset by lower imports of capital goods, as the supply of construction material for the Souapiti dam was completed in 2018. The balance of services will also improve for the same reason. Conversely, increased output from mines operated by foreign companies will worsen the income balance, but its GDP share (around 7%) is too small to stop the current account from improving. The current account deficit will continue to be financed by public project loans and private investments, mainly FDI, but funding is expected to be considerably reduced compared with 2018, which was a very busy year for projects. The upward trend in foreign exchange reserves, which stand at just over 3.5 months of imports, is expected to continue in 2019. Pressure on the exchange rate could therefore ease, allowing the value of the Guinean franc to stabilise.
60 years after independence, the journey towards a peaceful democracy continues
The first African country to gain its independence from France, Guinea celebrated 60 years of independence at the end of 2018. Ceremonies were held at the Stade du 28 Septembre, the capital stadium where, on the same day in 2009, the military junta killed 150 people at an opposition meeting, in a symbol of the still fragile political situation. Alpha Condé became the country's first democratically elected president in 2010.
Economic and social reforms undertaken since then have led to a significant improvement in the business climate, which ranked 152nd in the Doing Business 2019 ranking, up eleven places compared with 2017. However, the lack of energy infrastructure and repeated load shedding caused unrest in some cities in 2018, which could resurface if these problems recur. Social discontent is increasingly visible, and Mr Condé's vague statements about potentially standing for a third term in 2020, which would be unconstitutional, could worsen the situation.
Last update : February 2019

Sisterhood of the Traveling Blog: My Big Fat Goal
So today, I'm to tackle what my goals are. Danyelle thought up this topic for the month, and check out Laura's response last week, and Zoe's next week!
I've written two novels thus far, shelved one, and on the cusp of querying another. And now I'm in the plotting stage of novel number three.
Each step along the way, I learned stuff. But probably one of the biggest problems I've had is not having a good bird's eye view of my plot.
I thought I was a planner.
I thought I was an outliner.
I wasn't really. Those efforts were fairly mediocre. And so I couldn't see the plot problems until I'd already written the darn things and my betas said, "Whoa. Plot issues galore."
This time around, I'm going to do an extensive outline, character sheets, and detailed notes on world building. Any plot revisions will occur before I actually start writing.
This is a big deal for me, and may make a huge difference in my story telling. Because up until now, I've found that:
1) I'm not a bad writer.
2) But I'm not a great storyteller.
I need to work on that. And planning like a fiend is going to help me there. That's my new goal!

This sounds like a great plan. If you know your strengths, and then plan ahead how to use them to your best advantage while focusing on beefing up everything else ... you should end up with a great project, or at least a much better starting point.

It's not easy getting all those loose ends tied together in an attractive bundle...and in such a way that it flows naturally.

I think one of the best ways to become a great writer is to be honest about your writing weaknesses. When you do that you have a chance of improving.
Here's to hoping your bird's eye view sharpens.

If you want to make a great outline, I highly recommend First Draft in Thirty Days by Karen Wiesner (it's really an extensive outline in thirty days, not a first draft). I've used this book several times and I wouldn't dream of trying to write a book without it.
Also, I left you something at my blog today. :)

The more I write, the more I see the value in detailed outlines. They really help to hold the story together, building the basic structure beforehand, embellishing it as you go. The more we know about our characters and the story, the more layers we can delve into with the writing. Good luck!

Boy, we sound like sisters. I'm going through the same things as you. I'm an outliner and pre-planner, but I'm doing things differently this time . . . much the same way you are. But then again, I know you're following the same blogs I am, like Adventures In Children's Writing. Their post yesterday (before the contest announcement) was great! I'm going to use the checklist to review my outline before I start the first draft. :D

Play to your strengths. The first step in finding a solution to any problem is realizing (and admitting) that there is one. Obviously, you've done that (which is a step ahead of a LOT of people).
I'm sure you'll be surprised when, while playing to your strengths and planning for your weaknesses, you turn out a great story.
Good luck Lydia!

I am in the exact same boat as you! I just started outlining and plotting my third novel last night, and I am determined to find every plot hole before they form!
Good luck :)

I think my first go 'round with first novel was a practice novel. I wrote it fast, and then went back and was like okay, great story but gaping plot holes and the characters were fairly flat. This time around I did more planning and did a check list of things to make sure I covered. Still came out with plot holes, but fewer and characters started to really come to life, and with a REALLY fresh (meaning in the last two days) idea I am starting from the ground up literally. Building the world first. *grumbles* (hates outlines does them anyway)
I think finding what works for each of us is so essential, and that is sometimes trial and error. Now that you have a really great plan to go forward I'm positive you'll be able to play to your strengths much easier :) Good luck!

I'm on the outlining train now, but the thought of character building KILLS me. I know I need to do it, but I don't waaaaaaaannaaaaaaaaa. Boo.
But I totally know how you feel.
- June 9, 2010 at 11:01 AM
Great goal! But I just don't buy the "not a good storyteller" bit. Nope, I don't believe it. *shakes head emphatically, then crosses arms*
Plot holes can be fixed. You do a great job at description at action at dialogue--own it!

I learned the hard way that planning can make a world of difference too! It took me one seat-of-the-pants novel and several really terrible short stories to realize that... but sometimes, just for fun, I sit down and write things without a plan.
Of course, those are the stories that need so much more revision in the end, but they're also more fun to write sometimes.
All the best with your planning for novel #3! I also find planning reveals new plot twists and interesting threads within the story, so who knows what gems will come out of it! :)

Wow. I wish you luck. I've never been good at outlines. I even took an online course focused on that kind of planning for a novel. Just didn't work for me. But I do want to spend more time on other planning tools, like character interviews and journaling. I really want to know how this works for you.

Outlining! Horror of horrors! I hate them! Although I will do one about half way through revisions, so I can see where I've gone not where I'm going. It's the only way they work for me. But good luck! Your work ethic astounds me (as I have shamefully wasted this entire day).

Hi Lydia!
I love plots, they help you to get the story sharp in your head and you actually feel like your making headway when you can 'mark off' major points. I think you'll enjoy it when you get into it *grin* Good luck!

Ooh, Lydia - great goal! I'm definitely interested to see how being a plotter vs. a pantzer works -I might have to try it myself for the next novel in the pipeline. Great post!!
- June 9, 2010 at 4:49 PM
- Alexandra Shostak said...
Most definitely. I used to write with only a vague idea of what was going to happen, but I had to do so many revisions because of plot. I actually didn't start outlining until I was doing a MAJOR rewrite and I realized that I'd need an outline to pull it off. I didn't do specific scenes, and I already knew my characters, but I had plot point by plot point what would happen, and that helped SO much.

I'm not able to do an outline. I do have the ending scene in mind ... sometimes, but that's about it. :)

Good luck Lydia! I know you will sail through this :) I've tried both ways - no outline/with an outline, I'm still not too sure which one works best for me though.
- June 9, 2010 at 5:34 PM
I'm a fan of writing a light outline before settling down and working out the kinks as they arise. However, #2 is true for me as well, and I do wonderful if I may benefit from heavy outlining.
Good luck with your outline! :)

I tried planning and outlining once, but it wasn't for me. It would probably help me keep everything together and cut down on the number of drafts, but I haven't found a way to do it yet without my stories feeling flat. Funny how different writers do it different ways. =o)
Keep hammering away and keep learning.
- June 10, 2010 at 7:41 AM
- Elana Johnson said...
Good luck! I don't plan or outline either. I do have plot issues. I rewrite like crazy.
And then my agent says, "Your novel is so well-plotted" and I have to make sure I'm not drinking anything so I don't spew laughter--and Sprite.
So there's a process for each of us. And you'll find yours. Good luck with everything!

I'm a big outliner, but I still find plot holes in the later drafts.
I did try to write without an outline this last book and I just couldn't do it.
Good luck, Lydia! The best thing is to learn that about yourself and sounds like you've got that covered!

Lydia..I think we have telepathy. I am planning the same thing. My first lot of published books were written differently.
As for the new lot, I have started plotting, each part of the series will be written in outline form. I will write chapter by chapter synopsis and then start writing the book.
All the best with your third book!

In this Male Extra review we can make a decision whether or not Male Extra is actually worth buying. It is a mixture of penis enlargement pills as well as the Penis Health exercising course. The pills have an original ingredient which is not present in additional male enhancement items. The element is Pomegranate 70% Ellagic , that has been well known for quite a long time like "Nature's Viagra" .
How Does Male Extra Perform?
The pills boost the dimensions of the corpora cavernous, that is the section in the penis that retains the blood. Erections take place since blood runs into this chamber. The dimensions of the penis rely on the size of the chamber. As more blood circulates into the corpora cavernous, its tissues are enhanced and they break away. They consequently multiply as well as grow, leading to a bigger as well as longer penis.
The pills additionally contain elements that positively effect sexual health. We'll check out some of the elements later. Along with elongating the dimensions of the penis , the pills additionally improve libido , magnify erections as well as enable you to develop amazing strength – you could be more energetic , along with gratify your partner more .
Individually, I think that penis enhancement pills, just automatically, cannot assist to achieve considerable benefits in penis size. But, when they are taken out when you are applying additional penis enhancement strategies simultaneously, such as applying penis enlargement workouts and/or an excellent penis extender.
Male Extra Ingredients
The pills are manufactured from several fresh , organic ingredients . Let's consider some of those: Pomegranate, Ginseng as well as Muira Pauma.
Pomegranate 70% Ellagicis certainly one of the unique elements in the pills. However, this is not like the one you consume, it is special-you must drink 500 or even more of the one you know about , to have the similar advantage since the one in Male Extra .
Pomegranate is regarded to be full of antioxidants, which magnify the circulation of blood to the penis.
Muira Pauma helps you to make sure much more erections, an intensified libido as well as higher frequency of sex.

Best Black: Penelope Cruz
She didn't wear the same dress over and over. No, Lea Michele did that for her. So Pene went with all black, lace and contrasting stipes. It's not for everyone – oh no – but Penelope's is an old school glamour mixed modern. She can where others cannot. And she did last night. Very well. Michelle and Du approved too only Du isn't feeling the lighter hair. I agree. It does something not great to her face.
Many of you marvelled at how well she seemed to get along with Nicole Kidman, even blowing kisses at Granny on stage, strange because Pene dated the GMD immediately after the split. Right. And what does this tell you? Maybe there was nothing to be upset about to begin with. Maybe it was all arranged. What? Oh suspend your disbelief, kill the naivete. You question the shenanigans of a town built on backroom deals and casting couches? Please. That version of the story is for People Magazine.

Fact Sheets
Drought Resources
Conservation Compliance - Don't lose your USDA benefits!
Contact your local NRCS office to start the planning and application process. An NRCS conservation professional will help you to apply for this program and determine how best to protect your natural resources.
You can apply anytime for EQIP. Applications are accepted all year long. All applications are reviewed and funded in a competitive ranking process that usually takes place once each year.
The current application cut-off date is posted on the EQIP home page, or you can call your local NRCS office to ask. More application periods may be announced if other funds become available.
EQIP application materials, payment rates for conservation practices and this year's ranking criteria are available on the application materials & documents page.
You will begin by talking with an NRCS conservation professional. Together, you will discuss your situation. The NRCS professional can also help you complete required paperwork. There are several forms that you will need to fill out to verify that you are eligible to participate in federal conservation programs.
In addition to filling out the basic application materials, you will most likely work with NRCS to develop a conservation plan for your land. Conservation planning is usually one of the first steps in working with NRCS and applying to most USDA conservation programs.
An NRCS conservation professional will work with you to assess your natural resources and discuss your goals for your land. A conservation plan will be developed that includes specific conservation practices designed to protect and improve your natural resources while meeting your goals for your property.
Once a conservation plan has been developed, you can discuss with an NRCS employee which federal conservation programs are best able to help you implement the activities described in your plan. EQIP is just one of several NRCS conservation programs that may be able to help you act on your conservation plan.
There may also be other federal, state and local programs that can help you to implement your conservation plan.
Once your application is complete and you are verified as being eligible to participate in federal conservation programs, your application will be reviewed and ranked in a competitive ranking process that usually takes place once each year.
If your NRCS application is funded, you can proceed with implementing the conservation practices according to the terms of your EQIP agreement. You will be reimbursed for part of the cost of installing conservation practices after each practice is installed.

Mixtapeology.com is an online resource for hip hop mixtape (sort of like a promotional album released by an artist) downloads. Currently Mixtapeology is a blog but we will be launching version 2 this summer which will be a forum using the theme pictured in the full description.
What we are looking for is a cartoon logo of a specified size that goes with this theme. There is a $350 prize for the winning entry and we will provide as much feedback as possible while the contest runs in order to help you turn our ideas into reality.
Mixtapeology.com is an online resource for hip hop mixtape (sort of like a promotional album released by an artist) downloads. Currently Mixtapeology is a blog but we will be launching version 2 this summer which will be a forum using the theme pictured here http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/…dfouv1.jpg
What we are looking for is a cartoonish logo that will go where the "greenfox" logo is in the picture above.
We would like our logo to have a cartoon hand holding an ipod (a black or white ipod video to be specific) in a sort of triumphant way. Next to that hand will be the main logo text "Mixtapeology.com" and underneath that our tagline reading "Filling up Your ipod since '07". For a better idea of how we would like the logo laid out please see this image we quickly drew up http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/…outuo5.jpg
Size wise we are not really too concerned as long as the image can be resized successfully to a height of 90 pixels to fit in with our forum theme.
The colour scheme we would like is a transparent background but the same greens and blacks as used in the forum theme pictured above as the primary colours.
For an idea of the font we would like to be used on the "Mixtapeology.com" text and the tagline text have a look at the fonts used in this logo http://www.waxchemistry.com/portfol…MMG_02.jpg
The "Music Group" font is similar to what we would like used in the "Mixtapeology.com" part of the logo and something curvy like the "Howie McDuffie" font is what we would like used in the tagline part of the logo.
Mixtapeology is aimed at hip hop music fans so we are not looking for a childish cartoony style to be used, rather a hip and slightly slick style of cartoon imagery.
That is about all we can think of with regards to what we are looking for. If you have any questions or we have not made anything clear then feel free to ask. We will also try and give as much feedback as possible on all entries. Thanks for looking and we look forward to seeing what you have got!

David M. Porter PEAT, MARWICK, MITCHELL & CO. THE WALTHAM SYSTEM AND EARLY AMERICAN TEXTILE COST ACCOUNTING 1813-1848 Abstract: This study of the original accounting records of a pioneering American industrial enterprise narrows by one half the time lag between the earliest known English and American applications of industrial cost accounting. The research in-dicates that the precursors of the costing systems now considered essential tools of management were in use virtually from the beginning of large scale industry in America. The transition from mercantile to industrial accounting remains one of the greatest expansions and refinements of accounting thought since the formulation of double-entry accounting itself in the 15th century. In the words of accounting historian A. C. Little-ton, "this transition signified the expansion of bookkeeping (a record) into accounting (a managerial instrument of precision)."1 Yet information as to the emergence of industrial cost accounting in Europe and particularly in America remains sketchy. Most his-torians have relied on published sources such as management pub-lications and textbooks in establishing the chronology of cost accounting's development. Because of the dearth of cost account-ing materia! published between 1820 and 1885, it is generally held among accounting historians that little of significance in the field of cost accounting occurred between these dates.2 Recently, how-ever, several accounting historians confirmed through research on original accounting records that industrial cost accounting was being developed with surprising sophistication in the textile mills of England and New England much earlier than previously supposed. In 1972 H. Thomas Johnson published the results of his study of the accounting records of the Boston based Lyman Mills. Johnson challenged the conclusions of Garner and other leading business historians by demonstrating the application of a "sophisticated cost For assistance in the preparation of this study, I wish to express my debt to the late William Holmes, to Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. and to Robert Lovett of the Manuscripts Division, Baker Library, Harvard Graduate School of Business Ad-ministration.

Professor Bill Roscoe FREng
Completed Projects:
Research areas
- Concurrency: this is the study of how systems interact by communication when operating in parallel. Most of my work is done on the process algebra CSP (or Communicating Sequential Processes) originally introduced by Tony Hoare. This is a relatively mature area (I have worked on it since beginning my own doctoral work in 1978) but it still throws up new surprises and insights: for example relatively recently I discovered ways to prove that some of the models that have been studied for many years are in some sense Platonic: they underly every possible model. The work I do under this category is largely theoretical, but it underpins many of the more practical topics below. My work on CSP divides into two parts: the original untimed CSP where we worry about the order of events but not about exactly when they each happen, and timed versions such as Timed CSP, which I developed with Mike Reed and has a continuous time model, and various discrete models.
- Verification: this is the study of how to prove that systems meet their specification, and these days is almost always done or much assisted by verification tools: programs that analyse other programs, usually comparing them against some specification. Most of my own work in this area is based on, or related to, CSP and its refinement checker FDR (see below). My work on verification breaks down into actually doing practical verification and developing methods that make it easier or more powerful. I've enjoyed working with industry over the years to help them with specific verifications, especially inmos (in former times) and QinetiQ. I'm interested in induction, data independence, their combination, and similar ideas to help generalise verification (and in particular model checking) from something that can only be done for a very specific system to something that can prove results about classes of them.
- FDR (standing for Failures Divergence Refinement) is a verification tool for CSP. What it primarily does is discover if one CSP program refines another, namely has less possible observations that can be made of it. Thus refinement essentially coincides with reduction of nondeterminism. FDR is a model checker, but an unusual one because it concentrates on refinement. It has a wide user base in academia, government and industry, both as a tool in itself and also as the "back end" to others. I have led its design since it was first written in 1991. We recently had funding from EPSRC to look, amongst other things, at how we can include modern model checking ideas such as SAT checking into it: for results see paper 150. I am interested in improving how FDR works, in developing ways of using it effectively (for example on real-time systems), and in finding ways of verifying non-CSP notations such as Statecharts with it. A current interest is investigating what types of language can, in principle, be translated into CSP (see paper 125) We have relatively recently added Timed CSP into FDR, giving its role in modelling real-time systems a new impetus: see papers 145, 149, 150. Recently, a new and vastly improved version of this called FDR3 was released, developed mainly by Tom Gibson-Robinson. Our group is actively exploring how to make FDR more efficient, giving it new capabilities and finding new ways of applying it.
- SVA is a front end for FDR that analyses shared variable programs, developed by me and David Hopkins. It is described in Chapters 18 and 19 of Understanding Concurrent Systems.
- Computer Security: I became interested in this in the mid 1990's when I saw the successes other people were having applying the ideas of CSP. I work on three different topics in security. Noninterference is the study of how information might either leak, or be shown not to leak, from one user to another across a computer system. Understanding this is a real challenge and is perhaps the most convincing application of the finer theoretical details of concurrency theory: it is very easy to come up with convincing looking specifications of noninterference that are wrong. I concentrate on the idea that a system S is free of information leakage from A to B if, after suitably abstracting A's behaviour in S, the resulting view (B's) is either deterministic or perhaps maximally refined. I have two big goals in this area: finding a way of expressing noninterference elegantly for stochastic systems (the main desideratum being a model that mixes nondeterminism and probability at the right level of abstraction) and finding real practical applications for our noninterference work - it can readily be checked on FDR. Cryptographic protocol analysis is the study of how to analyse protocols that use cryptography to achieve results like key exchange, authentication and secure e-commerce. We do not study the mathematical details of the underlying cryptography, which is modelled symbolically. Gavin Lowe realised in 1994 that these protocols could be modelled and analysed on FDR and, ever since then, he, I and our co-workers have developed and refined these techniques to the point where they are now robust and widely applicable. A spin-off of this work my development of protocols and related cryptography for bootstrapping ad hoc networks. Here we develop methods for securely building secure networks between pairs or larger groups of systems based not on traditional methods such as PKIs, but on a minimum of non-fakable human interaction (either just human-machine, or a mixture of human-machine and human-human). Applications of this include medical data exchange, secure telephony and improved credit card security: see below. Principles derived from this work have recently enabled us to develop more efficient forms of cryptographic signature. This novel view of how to do authentication leads to a new cryptographic primitive: the keyed digest function. I am interested in discovering more about these and developing them so they can be computed efficiently and confidently. I have recently shown how to make this and another style of protocol (PAKEs) auditable in the sense that participants in a failed run can discover whether they were being attacked or not. This in turn has led me to study fair exchange.
In the past I've also worked on general topology, digital topology and hardware verification, but these are not current areas.
I enjoy collaborating with industry, particularly users of my own research.
External Interests
In January 2017 I took partial retirement from Oxford. I set up Chieftin Lab in Shenzhen, China and latterly the University College Oxford Blockchain Research Centre. I have worked on areas such as blockchain, fintech and post-quantum security at these.
I work with the following companies: The Blockhouse Technology Ltd (associated with the Unov Lab), Cocotech(exploiting our work on verification), Iothic (developing secure IoT security) and Cydefence (Cyber-security).
Prospective Research Students
In principle I'm interested in taking on research students interested in any of these areas, but obviously I am likely to have some more specific projects in mind at any given moment. Please email me if you are interested in becoming my research student.
Understanding Concurrent Systems
Published in October 2010 by Springer, this book provides an up-to-date introduction to CSP, its theory and applications, including the use of CSP to give semantics for, and generate tools for, other models of concurrent systems.
Bill Roscoe (Andrew William, hence A.W. Roscoe on papers) was born and brought up in Dundee, Scotland. He read Mathematics at University College, Oxford (Univ) 1975-78, obtaining the top mark for his year in the university. Together with another Univ student, Steve Brookes (now at CMU), he joined the Computing Laboratory (PRG) as a research student in 1978, and their DPhil work with Tony Hoare was on the mathematical foundations and models of his Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) process algebra. Almost all Bill's subsequent research has either been based on CSP or has been a spin-off from it (examples of the latter being Hardware Verification and Computer Security). He was a Junior Research Fellow of St Edmund Hall 1980-3 and a Royal Society Research Fellow 1982-3. He became a College Lecturer at Univ in 1979 and a Tutorial Fellow there in 1983, when he was also appointed a University Lecturer in Computer Science at Oxford. He was given the title of Professor in 1997. In 2007 his job title was changed to "Research Professor" and he became a Senior Research Fellow at Univ. In 1993-7 he was Senior Tutor of Univ, in 1998-2000 he was the last ever Chairman of the Mathematical Sciences Faculty Board, and was Head of the Department of Computer Science (formerly called Director of the Computing Labratory) 2003-8 and 2009-14.
In January 2017 he took partial retirement from Oxford and in the spare time this created is developing Chieftin Lab, a FinTech lab in Shenzhen, China not affiliated with the University of Oxford. In 2018 my Oxford College Univ has set up a Blockchain Research Centre and I will be spending time working at that as Director.
