Around-the-world travel isn't just for the young or the independently wealthy. Students, retirees and even working folks with a few weeks of vacation time can take advantage of the convenient pricing and flexibility of around-the-world tickets. You can travel around the world for nearly any length of time, from a few days to a few years. Your trip can involve a couple of brief stops or dozens of stopovers and side trips.
And it needn't cost as much as you might think. Economy-class fares for the most basic around-the-world tickets start at less than $2,000.
An around-the-world ticket is a special fare (or a series of point-to-point tickets) that allows you to fly to multiple cities and continents. These tickets are sold through airline alliances and agencies that specialize in around-the-world travel, and they can help you save money and organize your itinerary. Read on for a run-down on where to buy around-the-world tickets, how they work and what they cost.
When to Consider an Around-the-World Ticket
Consider an around-the-world ticket if you're traveling to multiple continents within the same trip. (If you're focusing on a single continent, an air pass may be a better bet.) Plot out your preferred countries or cities, along with a rough idea of how long you'd like to spend in each place, and then turn to one of the providers listed below for help in planning your itinerary.
Note that it is possible to craft your own around-the-world ticket of sorts simply by pricing out each leg of your trip individually. We recommend doing a quick price check using a site like Kayak.com or Momondo.com, and then comparing the fares you see against the offerings from the providers below.
Who Offers Around-the-World Tickets?
There are two main types of around-the-world ticket providers: airlines and specialist agencies.
Airlines: The three global airline alliances allow you to link together the routes of any member airlines to create one continuous global trip. Each alliance offers at least one around-the-world ticket option.
Fares are calculated based on the total mileage of your trip or the number of continents you visit. You are permitted anywhere from 3 to 15 stopovers in a period of 10 days to a year. These tickets may not be your most flexible option, as some require you to reserve all legs of your trip in advance. There may be restrictions on which direction you can travel (some around-the-world fares require that you travel only in a single direction, either east to west or vice versa), or how many miles you can fly.
One advantage of booking your around-the-world ticket through an airline alliance is that you'll be eligible to earn frequent flier miles toward the airline loyalty program of your choice.
Information about around-the-world tickets on each alliance can be found at the following links:
Star Alliance
Specialist Agencies: Many of these agencies are consolidators who can piece together point-to-point one-way tickets that undercut the lowest economy fares from the airline alliances. Be sure to ask whether your ticket will be eligible for frequent flier miles, as this may vary from one agency to the next.
You will find that around-the-world fares through these agencies begin at about $1,300, which is a very basic New York – London – Hong Kong – New York ticket. Rather than selling you a single around-the-world ticket, the agency will ask you where you want to stop, then issue you a series of point-to-point tickets. If you live near a small airport, you'll likely need to transfer through larger gateways before embarking on the international portion of your trip.
Here are several agencies that specialize in around-the-world tickets:
STA Travel
Editor's Note: While we have had great experiences with some of the companies listed above, this is a cutthroat business with very small margins. Please take the same precautions you would in buying a ticket from an around-the-world specialist as you would from a consolidator, such as charging your tickets on a credit card and confirming all reservations/seat assignments with the airlines directly.
What to Consider When Purchasing an Around-the-World Ticket
Flexibility: This may be the single most important factor in the success of your trip. Want the option to stick around New Zealand for an extra two weeks, or to fly to Bangkok instead of Beijing? Be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully before you book your around-the-world ticket. Ask which reservations need to be confirmed ahead of time, how easily you can alter your original dates or itinerary, and which change fees or fare increases may apply. Keep in mind that flexibility may often come with higher fares, so you'll need to weigh your budget against your travel plans.
Class: For many travelers, flying first or business class is well out of their price range — but if you've got a little cushion in your travel budget, consider whether it's worth spending the extra money to buy an around-the-world ticket in business class. Flying long distances and living on the road for an extended period of time can be hard on your body, and you may be surprised at how much you appreciate that relaxing flight in a spacious airline seat when you've been on the go for four months straight.
Alternatives: If money is a concern, keep in mind that using your around-the-world ticket may not always be the most economical option for getting from Point A to Point B. For shorter segments of your trip, check the local train or bus services as well as any discount airlines that operate in the region. They may take a little more planning and coordination, but these alternatives could save you some cash.

There's someone here listening to other people's analog cell phone calls on a modified scanner, and others are playing super-mutant aerobie.
He still has a few crazyass internet profiles up, if you google his other handle you will find them. Funny stuff. Hopefully none of it actually true.
Hmm. Lots of furry fandom, which is pretty much his thing. But also he seems to have developed a bad habit of assuming there are nazis lurking behind every corner?
But yeah, he was the progenitor of the UMOW (User Meeting On Wheels) ... most of which ended up at the Kensico Dam or Croton Dam at some point.
(Nope. Neither one exists anymore. Thankfully, the Kensico Dam is still intact.)
The problem is that our community looks a lot different on the map than it did in the UM days. We have new friends who have joined us from around the world, and old friends who have moved out of the area.
We successfully made the transition from a dialup BBS to an Internet community. This is the downside.

- Upping the ante against U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan, celebrated cricketer-turned-political leader Imran Khan has threatened to block NATO supplies to Afghanistan through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where his party leads a coalition government.
"We are holding the biggest ever anti-drone protest in Peshawar, where we could decide to block NATO supplies permanently," Khan, who leads the Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (PTI), told IPS ahead of massive protests planned by the party for Nov. 23.
"We don't want to start a fight with the U.S. but we have every right to protest these illegal assaults which kill innocent people," Khan said, calling the attacks a breach of international law and a violation of human rights.
His party is enraged over a U.S. drone strike at a madrassa or religious seminary that killed at least eight people in Hangu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in northwestern Pakistan, on Nov. 20.
The PTI leads the coalition government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which is one of two key routes used by NATO to move supplies in and out of neighbouring Afghanistan and is strategically important as U.S.-led forces prepare to withdraw from the war-torn country in 2014.
"More than 200,000 political activists will gather here to send a very loud and clear message," Khan said about the Nov. 23 demonstrations. "On the same day, a similar anti-drone protest will take place in the UK."
When the party had organised a major two-day protest on Apr. 23-24, 2010, NATO supplies were suspended.
The PTI has staunchly opposed drone strikes in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), adjacent to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The strikes target Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders who have taken refuge in FATA along a 2,400-km porous border with Afghanistan after being evicted from Kabul by U.S.-led forces towards the end of 2001.
FATA, which is directly ruled by the federal government, is teeming with militants, some of them with huge bounties on their heads as they are aggressively pursued by the U.S. for alleged involvement in the Sep. 11, 2001 terror attacks. Many high-profile Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders have been killed in the drone strikes.
Khan said his party wants to convey to the world that the U.S. government is killing innocent people in the garb of targeting militants.
"Even if those targeted in these strikes are supposed militants, the U.S. has no right to kill them without taking the Pakistan government into confidence," Khan said.
Besides, while most drone attacks have taken place in FATA, the Nov. 20 strike was in the PTI's stronghold of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
"We won't allow drone strikes on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa soil," Khan said.
He had earlier stated that they would stop NATO supplies even if it meant his party losing its place in the provincial government. But he later stressed that only his party workers would take part in the protest.
"The PTI government in the province will stay away from the protest because we don't want to take any illegal steps," Khan said.
The PTI has been accusing Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of failing to raise the concerns of Pakistani citizens about drone strikes with President Barack Obama.
"We were the first to point out that these strikes were in total contravention of U.N. and other international law that guarantees the sovereignty of any country," he said.
He said the U.S. had sabotaged the government's proposed peace talks with the Tehreek Taliban Pakistan by killing its leader Hakimullah Mehsud in a Nov. 1 drone attack.
"Targeting a madrassa with missiles from a drone, killing our citizens, is a clear violation of the province's territorial rights," Muhammad Junaid, a PTI worker, told IPS. The shopkeeper from the militancy-hit Swabi district said drone strikes kill innocent people, including women and children, and should not be permitted by any country.
"We have the right to protest," said Junaid. "We are ready to join Imran Khan, our leader, in stopping supplies to NATO forces in Afghanistan."
The Jamaat Islami Party and Awami Jamhoori Ittehad, the PTI's allies in the provincial government, are on the same page.
"Upwards of 150,000 protestors will take part in the protest against drone strikes and over the continuation of NATO supplies," Jamaat Islami chief Syed Munnawar Hassan said.
"We can stop them [NATO supplies] permanently," he said.

Women's Sport Kilts are great for any occasion you want to wear a kilt for freedom and comfort.
We have a few female kilt models to choose from depending on the occasion. The main four women's kilts are the Sport Kilt, Mini Kilt, Ultimate Kilt, and Kilted Skirt.
All of our women's kilts for sale can be customized by our expert craftswomen, such as; adding belt loops, leather buckle straps with metal buckles, fringe, sewn-down pleats, and even pockets! We can also give the female kilts a custom length.
If you're unsure about what size to get, give us a call, we can measure you over the phone with a few questions.
The Women's Sport Kilt usually drops down to the top of the knee, and is great for a casual round of golf, a party, or even some sporting events.
The Mini Kilt is great for running, highland games, or any other athletic activity where you may want to have the maximum range of motion, or just want to cover up your Performance Undershorts.
The Women's Ultimate Kilt is tailor made to your waist, hip and length measurements, and hangs on your body like a fitted dress would. Because it is made to your specs, there is no elastic in the waistband, so it is more made to fit your exact measurements. Still a great choice for outdoor activities as well as formal occasions.
The Kilted Skirt is an ankle-length dress, pleated around the backside, with a flat front-panel, and comes with Sewn Down Pleats included. These are made to your specs, one at a time, by hand.
If you need your women's kilt outfit by a certain date, just let us know in the order notes, or give us a call so we can get you looking sharp in time for your event. We're pretty fast at making made-to-order female kilts if you let us know when you need it.

Download Study →Sensitivity and Specificity
Symptoma correctly classifies 29 of 30 symptomatic COVID-19 cases as COVID-19 risk (96.6% sensitivity). Of 1,112 British Medical Journal (BMJ) control cases (non-COVID-19), only 41 are classified as potential COVID-19 cases by Symptoma, with only seven of these ranking COVID-19 higher than the correct diagnoses. These seven cases relate to diseases that present similarly to COVID-19, however, have far lower incidence rates and, therefore, are deemed less likely, e.g. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV) or the Avian influenza A (H5N1) virus infection (bird flu). The results are summarized in the table below.
n cases | Flagged as COVID-19 risk | Not flagged as COVID-19 risk | |
COVID-19 cases | 30 | 29 True Positives | 1 False Negatives |
BMJ cases | 1,112 | 41 False Positives | 1,071 True Negatives |

Download Study →Methods
A total of 50 COVID-19 cases were extracted by three trained medical doctors from the literature and are listed in S3 Table. Each case describes one patient's medical situation, i.e. symptoms experienced and COVID-19 contacts. Extreme edge cases of COVID-19 such as patients with several severe comorbidities were not included in this study.
We used a total of 460 clinical cases to evaluate the performance of the COVID-19 symptom checkers. Each case lists both, symptoms and the correct diagnosis, alongside the age and sex of the patient when available. Details of the two case sets used are given below and in Table 2.
COVID-19 cases allow us to evaluate the sensitivity of symptom checkers. To also evaluate the specificity, 410 control cases from the British Medical Journal (BMJ) were sourced [6,7]. To allow a fair assessment, we only used cases containing at least one of the COVID-19 symptoms (see S4 Table) reported by the WHO [5].
Classifying non-relevant cases (e.g. a fracture) would overestimate the symptom checkers' specificity. Furthermore, these patients would not consult an online COVID-19 symptom checker. None of these 410 BMJ cases has COVID-19 listed as the diagnosis as the cases where collected before the COVID-19 outbreak.
Symptoma shows the overall highest accuracy rate for COVID-19. Even SF-COS and SF-DIST (two alternative algorithms developed by Symptoma within a few hours each) perform higher than almost all other solutions.

Osteoporosis is a major concern for many older men and women. It's estimated that more than 40 million people either already suffer from the disease or are at risk for developing it. Recent research suggests a link between osteoporosis and bone loss in the jaw. When bone loss in the jaw occurs, teeth that are usually supported and anchored by the jawbone may become loose; tooth loss may occur.
What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis means "porous bone." Normal human bone looks like a honeycomb, but bones affected by osteoporosis have holes and spaces that are much bigger. This means the bones have lost density or mass. As bones become less dense, they become weaker and more brittle making the simplest chores like picking up a newspaper potentially hazardous. Something like picking up a child or even sneezing could cause a break.
Bones are living tissue and are constantly being absorbed and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when the body cannot create new bone quickly enough to keep up with the removal of old bone. Osteoporosis can affect any bone in the human body, including the jawbone. It can occur in men and women, but it most often occurs in Caucasian women over the age of 65.
How does Osteoporosis Affect my Oral Health?
Women with osteoporosis are three times more likely to experience tooth loss than those who do not have the disease. Because osteoporosis can occur in any bone in the body, the jawbone is susceptible to the disease. Low bone density in the jaw can result in loose teeth and tooth loss. Women who have osteoporosis may have trouble with loose or ill-fitting dentures as the bone is absorbed but not replaced over time.
Women with periodontal disease and osteoporosis are especially susceptible to tooth loss. Studies have recently shown a strong relationship between periodontitis, osteoporosis, and tooth loss. It has been suggested that the loss of bone density in the jaw may leave teeth more susceptible to the bacteria that cause gum disease.
Steps Towards Healthy Bones
Preserving the health of your bones is vital to your overall and oral health. Here are some steps you can take to ensure that you have optimal bone health:
1. Eat a balanced diet rich with vitamin D and calcium.
2. Exercise regularly. Weight-bearing activities like walking, jogging, dancing, and weight training are best for keeping bones strong.
3. Do not smoke; limit alcohol consumption.
4. Report any issues with loose teeth, detached or receding gums, or ill-fitting dentures to your dentist immediately.

Many thanks to Tristan Morris for creating a beautiful illustrated hardcover print edition of the site |
(Sorry, diese Seite noch nicht ins Deutsche übersetzt worden.) One winter's day, a monk of the Laughing Monkey Clan accompanied Java master Banzen to the marketplace to help carry what would be purchased there. On the road the monk asked, "What may be said of eager initialization?" The master replied, "Three days' packing for a journey of two miles." "And what of lazy initialization?" "Rush outside with only your coin-purse; all will be purchased as needed." The monk considered this. "The coin of the system is Time," he observed. "If the cost is negligible, nothing can be said against lazy initialization." Banzen whirled around, yanking the robe completely off the surprised monk's body. The master then looped his coin-purse around the naked monk's neck. Prodding his shivering companion forward into the crowds of the marketplace, Banzen remarked: "I see that Kaifung Wei, the tailor, has closed his shop for the season."

There is no behavior without reason. We need to examine reasons why Christian youths do fall into the sins of fornication.
Please note that sexual relationship is divided into three, namely:
(b) Pure (Holy or Legal) sex
(c) Extra – marital Sex (Adultery)
Premarital sex is what most youths engage in before marriage while extra-marital sex is what some married people indulges in, when they are not faithful to their partner. Pure, holy or legal sex is the only legitimate sex, it occurs between married couples. It is Holy and wonderful, God loves it and it brings purity. What we will be talking about here is premarital sex which the Bible calls fornication. It is not fun, it is not love-making but fornication. It is sin, I would have agreed if it is called lust making.
(1) Pressure: Pressure from parents, friends, peer group, lecturer, boss, future partners. Some men do mount pressure physically on their partners while some ladies mount pressure on their partners by dressing carelessly exposing their nakedness to seduce men. Some male bosses in places of work do mount pressure on their female workers, they want girls that can work for them and still satisfy them sexually.
(2) Curiosity: Many youths have engaged themselves in premarital sex as a result of curiosity. They thought they were searching for reality, but they ended up destroying themselves. They are not satisfied with what their parents, pastors and christian friends told them concerning sex, they want to experience it themselves.
(3) Electronic media: Television, film, radio and video has contributed to the high rate of premarital sex. What youths watch on screen determine their behaviour and character. Every product advertised on T.V. is just promoting sex. In fact, to advertise food items they use sex, film, television and radio promotes premarital sex. Most home videos are sex promoters.
(4) Books and Magazines: Some satanic authors are in town destroying the youths, they write some sexual stories, books and magazines, they bring out many pictures that stimulate the youth to think about sex always. Having read all these books, youths do become restless until they have put into practice what they learned in the books and magazines.
(5) Environmental influence: We live in a corrupt society where people do not see anything bad in ungodliness they do not see premarital sex as sin; they see it as a normal thing. Hence, girls are encouraged to dress exposing their bodies. Premarital sex has become the norm of the society. Some Christian youths find it difficult to cope in this kind of environment; hence, they fall into this ungodly act.
(6) Covetousness: Greed for money, wealth and position is another cause of premarital sex. Some ladies want money at all costs hence they are ready to use their bodies to get it by sleeping around with men.
(7) Indiscipline: Lack of discipline has led many singles into the dungeon of premarital sex.
(8) Wrong association: This has led many youth into destruction. Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.
(9) Ignorance: Lack of good sex education has led many youth into premarital sex, some went into it not knowing what they were doing.
(10) Wrong information: Since parents have refused to educate their children on the subject and the church is not forth coming with anything meaningful, the youth have resorted to any information they can get from anywhere either wrong or right.
(11) Bad parenting: Children that are not well brought up are likely to fall into wrong hands.
(12) Idleness: An idle hand is the devil's workshop. If you are idle, you may cuddle the devil.
(13) Loneliness: Some claim they went into fornication due to loneliness.
(14) Broken homes: Children from broken homes can fall into wrong hands due to the situation of their homes.

I've been collaborating for most of my professional life as a screenwriter and as a novelist. For twenty years, I wrote & produced TV shows with William Rabkin and plotted countless episodes with large writing staffs. I've also collaborated on over thirty books, most recently on the internationally bestselling Fox & O'Hare series with Janet Evanovich (our next book, The Chase, comes out on 2/25). So I am always interested in how other writers collaborate…and when I learned that my friends Rebecca Cantrell and James Rollins were writing together, I had to find out how their creative partnership produced the bestsellers Blood Gospel and Innocent Blood. Their answers are fascinating…and tremendously useful for any authors who are thinking about teaming up on a book.
How did you two meet? How did you decide to write a book together? Was there any initial reluctance or concerns that you had to work out first?
Rebecca: We met at the Maui Writers Conference when I took a course in thriller writing from Jim. He blurbed my first book (thanks, Jim!) and we stayed in touch off and on afterward. So, we'd already known each other for a few years when Jim called to ask me if I was interested in collaborating on a project. When I asked for details, he said it was "confidential." Trying to trick some information out of him, I asked if he could answer yes or no questions, which brought a ten-second pause before he caved and told me everything. Obviously he was not mean to withstand that kind of brutal interrogation! After he explained premise and the world, I said yes immediately—it was too intriguing and controversial not to.
Jim: Yes, I would not withstand torture. As to the genesis of this series, I was visiting the L.A. Museum of Art, where they had a Rembrandt exhibit. I became fascinated by that Old World master's depiction of the raising of Lazarus. There are many oddities about that painting: like why does everyone have such looks of horror at this miracle by Christ, why are there weapons painted above Lazarus's tomb (according to the Bible he was merely a banker), and why in one version of the painting did Rembrandt have blood dribbling from Lazarus's lips? This, of course, made me think "Hmm, maybe Lazarus was actually a vampire." Yep, that's how my mind works. And that got me wondering if vampires did indeed exist during the time of Christ, how might have Christ dealt with them. Would he have tried to save them? How would that have changed the Church? How might that look today? So I created a vampiric sect of the Catholic Church, vampires who swore an oath to Christ and the Church to stop feeding on humans and to only subsist on "Christ's blood," which for this series, is consecrated wine, which Catholics believe does indeed transubstantiate into the physical embodiment of Christ's blood. Once I had this idea, a grand epic story slowly built in my head, one spanning history and delving deep into the divide between science and religion. I knew this story was too big for me to tackle alone, especially since what was in my head was not really my wheelhouse as a writer. I could bring my skill at twisting history and science and building elaborate action sequences, but this story needed more than that. It needed to be richly textured and gothic in atmosphere. Not my skill set. But from reading Rebecca's books, I knew she could. So I thought, "what if we took the best of both our skills and crafted this story together?" So I made that call that Rebecca described above.
How did you know your two voices and approaches to writing would ultimately mesh?
Rebecca: We did a lot of work before we wrote the first word, tossing samples of scenes written in different styles back and forth until we found the ones that we thought would work best for this kind of story. We wanted something that was different from our regular voices. Once we agreed on that, we wrote to those styles. To make it mesh, we edit and edit each other's work. After we're done with that, we edit some more.
Jim: We definitely challenged each other. Rebecca would push me to look deeper into characters' motivations, while I tried to find ways to ratchet up tension and keep those action scenes taut and varied. But, like Rebecca said, it was a learning curve in regards to finding that "style" and "voice" for the story. Initially there was lots of debate and trials in regards to how to make all those choices fit the story. But eventually we discovered it and ran with it.
How did you handle the plotting?
Jim: The first thing we did was to build a "World Bible" for this world and characters. There's actually much more in that bible than is actually in the books, but we needed to understand this world and its characters in as much depth as possible before beginning. This helped us have a roadmap from which to work from. And it's still a work in progress as we work through this third book in the series.
Rebecca: The world bible might end up being longer than the books! But it's definitely been a great resource for keeping track of things and helping to keep us on track for plotting. Which brings me to the outline (and the next question).
Do you outline? If so, how detailed do you get and how closely do you stick to it afterwards?
Rebecca: For the first book Jim had a detailed plot outline in place, which we ended up deviating from quite a bit as time went on. For subsequent books we've done a lot of brainstorming via email and Skype. We usually come up with the big moments of the book and the locations first, then drill down into a list of scenes. The outline changes as the book moves ahead, but we expect that.
Jim: For my own books, I generally work from a pretty loose outline, but to work together, it was clear from the start that we would need more of a paved road. I don't know if we actually achieved that, but we at least carved out a gravel road. We mostly stuck with it, but it did allow us some elbow room to venture off a bit from that path. But I have to say, it's sort of fun outlining with a partner versus doing it solo. It was that back and forth on Skype where some of the most imaginative elements of the story were created.
How do you divvy up the writing? For instance, does one of you write the first draft and the other do revisions? Or do you trade chunks back and forth?
Rebecca: We trade chunks back and forth. I usually first draft historical scenes, love scenes, and character-oriented scenes, whereas Jim does more of the action and plot-driven scenes. But there isn't a hard and fast rule on that.
Jim: Exactly. There is a small love scene in book two (Innocent Blood) that I tackled (not without a lot of blushing on my part) and Rebecca cracked out some very awesome ambush scenes. But I don't think either of us would have been able to pull those off without going through the tempering flames of writing the first book. We both learned a lot from one another in that first venture. But one of the coolest things Rebecca once shared with me (and I think it highlights the success of our collaboration) is how one night she was reading a section of the book aloud to her husband and he stopped her and asked her who wrote that last paragraph she read. She had to admit to him, "I really don't know." That's how intensive we are about editing, re-editing, and turning pages back and forth between us.
Here's a techie question about the process…do you both work on the same operating system (eg are you both on Macs?), do you use the same software (Word?), do you share files using a Dropbox, Google Docs, etc. or do you just send email attachments back and forth?
Rebecca: I use a PC. I think Jim uses a Mac, but I'm not even sure. We email the manuscript file back and forth, using MS-Word with Track Changes and Comments. We only have one manuscript file and we're usually pretty good at not stomping on the other guy's stuff by accident, although I have had to use Word's Compare Documents feature a couple of times.
Jim: Until this very moment, I didn't even know there was a "Compare Documents" feature on Word. But yes, we both use Word and I do indeed work on a Mac.
How much time do you have to write each book? How do you handle the deadline pressures?
Rebecca: About 6-9 months but we're also writing other books at the same time. I'm pretty fast and Jim is ridiculously fast (which has made me faster because I can't let him win), so we muddle through. We had some serious deadline pressure on a short story once and that's where the time difference came in handy—Jim started when I was done for the day and I came back online when he was ready to go to bed, so we worked on it 24 hours a day. Crazy, I admit, but the story did get done quickly!
Jim: I always work best (and fastest) under deadline. The first book (while it took about 6-7 months to write) actually took us just shy of a full year to create. Those additional months were occupied with building that World Bible, outlining, playing with styles, etc. With that worked out, we crafted the second book slightly faster. By the way, one other advantage in regard to having your writing partner living halfway around the globe is that difference in time zones does allow some magic to happen. It was not uncommon for one of us to end our day by emailing a series of "problems with the story" to the other—only to awake the next morning to find solutions to those "problems" in our in-box. It's like having magical elves working on your project while you sleep.
I come from television, so collaborating with other writers is easy for me. But authors are a solitary lot. I know many authors who would have a very, very hard time writing with anyone else. They've worked hard to develop their own voice. They are used to writing alone and not having to deal with the input of anyone but, perhaps, their editor and agent. How did you reconcile your individual approaches to writing novels so that you could work together?
Rebecca: I was surprised at how easy it was. I've worked with teams of writers on technical documents before, so I was used to breaking things up and putting them back together, but I expected a lot more discord when it came to fiction. It helps that Jim is very easy to work with—mellow, generous, smart, and without a lot of ego. I think the work we did at the beginning to set up a world bible and the style we wanted it to be written in helped build up trust between us so that by the time we started writing the book itself we both were confident that we were working from a shared vision. Also, we communicate a lot during the process, with daily emails and weekly Skype calls, and that helps to make sure we're both on the same page.
Jim: And I had no background at all with working with another author. So it was probably a steeper learning curve for me than it was for Rebecca. One of the great tools she brought to the table, which indeed made things easier, was her organizational skills. She is very good at making sure all elements of the story stay on point. Also whenever some question would come up in regard to plot we had a simple solution: we would look to the story itself.
How do you resolve disputes on plot issues? Or on the rewrites? Does one of you have the final word?
Rebecca: Again, this has been a lot easier than I expected. Because we're both committed to the same story, we don't tend to argue about much. There was one scene at the end of Innocent Blood where we spent a couple of hours going back and forth about what a certain character would do, but it was more about us trying to figure out what the story needed than arguing for one position or another. I would say that the story has the final word, not either one of us. I think that we end up with stories that are very different than what we would have come up with one our own and that's good.
Jim: Exactly. Rather than letting ego be involved, conflicts were resolved by deciding what best suited the story. And that one time where a critical moment of the story had the two of us on diametrically opposed opposite sides of a fence, it was debating the pros and cons of our two positions that created an entirely new scenario, a better one, one we would never have come up on our own.
Did you learn any lessons from your first collaboration that made the second one easier?
Rebecca: I think we developed shorthand of communication that helped speed things along, but it was pretty easy from the start.
Jim: I also think that having that World Bible grow alongside the crafting of the first book gave us a great foundation from which to write that second book (and now the third). And I agree that we have found ways to communicate much more efficiently. We both have learned somewhat how the other thinks and writes and that helps, too. I remember our initial forays on Skype were more tiptoeing around each other a bit, so as not to insult or come off too harsh. Now we're even better friends that we can forgo the niceties and get down more quickly to brass tacks. Not that we're harder on each other, just more real.
Has your collaboration changed the way you write novels on your own?
Rebecca: I'm faster now. Jim's a faster writer than me and my pride forced me to keep up. I'm also more comfortable writing action scenes than I used to be.
Jim: I'm also much more conscious of character and the emotional inner world of those characters. Seeing Rebecca's approach to building character has definitely influenced my own writing.
Based on this experience, and assuming you had the time, would you collaborate with other authors?
Rebecca: Absolutely. It's been a tremendous amount of fun!
Jim: I wholeheartedly agree. But I also think it still takes finding that special person who complements your own writing and is simpatico with you on a personal level. For me, it was great (and I suspect a rare commodity) to find both of those in Rebecca.

Amtrak is the latest transportation provider to require all passengers to wear facial coverings or masks to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, beginning Monday.
The intercity passenger rail agency joinsmost of the nation's passenger airlines and many public transit systems in requiring coverings or face masks on passengers.
Customers will have to "wear a facial covering over their nose and mouth while in stations, on trains and [Thruway] buses," Amtrak said in a news release. "Facial coverings can be removed when customers are eating in designated areas, in their private rooms, or seated alone or with a travel companion in their own pair of seats. Small children who are not able to maintain a facial covering are exempt from this requirement."
"The safety of Amtrak's customers and employees is our top priority," Amtrak President and CEO Bill Flynn said in a statement, "and requiring a facial covering is one more way we can protect everyone."
To maintain physical distancing on trains, Amtrak is limiting bookings to half of each train's normal capacity, making it easier for passengers to sit farther apart. Amtrak is also temporarily going cashless in stations and on trains — to limit contact between customers and employees.
In addition, Amtrak is taking extra steps in cleaning and sanitizing trains and stations.

Summary of Findings
The 2008 presidential campaign has kicked off earlier than usual with more candidates than usual, but many people appear not to have noticed. Americans are no more likely to say they have given the presidential campaign much thought than they did in December, and just small minorities can name a candidate they might support.
The public's lack of engagement in the campaign is reflected in how people are reacting to the large slates of potential candidates in both parties. Of the announced and highly probable candidates, only a few in each party are widely familiar. The results of in-depth questions suggest that the images of even the well-known candidates are fairly thin.
The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted Feb. 7-11 among 1,509 Americans, finds that Democrats are further along than Republicans in thinking about possible presidential candidates. First, a larger percentage of the Democrats than Republicans are paying attention to the campaign (31% vs. 20%). Notably, 38% of liberal Democrats say they have given the campaign a lot of thought, compared with just 24% of conservative Republicans. And while nearly half of Democrats (46%) volunteered a presidential candidate they might support, only 29% of Republicans named a candidate for whom they might vote.
When asked to rate their chances of voting for announced or possible presidential candidates, large majorities of Democrats (and independents who lean Democrat) say they would consider voting for four candidates: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Al Gore and John Edwards. Roughly eight-in-ten Democrats (82%) say there is a good chance or some chance they would vote for Clinton. A comparable number (77%) says there is at least some chance they would vote for Obama. However, more Democrats say there is a good chance they will vote for Clinton than say the same about Obama (by 52% to 41%).
Smaller but substantial majorities of Democrats also say there is a good or some chance they would vote for John Edwards (69%) or Al Gore (62%). But far fewer say there is a good chance they would vote for either of these candidates than say that about Clinton or Obama.
Among GOP candidates, just two attract possible support from large majorities of Republicans (and independents who lean Republican): 78% say there is a good or some chance that they would vote for Rudy Giuliani and 65% say the same about Sen. John McCain. Mitt Romney gets a comparable "acceptable" rating from 53% of Republicans, but Romney is still not well-known to most Republicans. Just 41% of Republicans say they have heard of Romney.
The candidate preferences of political independents, a group that could play an important role in the selection of both parties' nominees, are quite different from those of political partisans. Obama has greater appeal among independents than does Clinton; 64% of independents who have heard of Obama say there is at least some chance they would vote for him, compared with 54% of those who have heard of Clinton. Among Republicans, Giuliani has somewhat more potential support among independents than does McCain (62% vs. 56%). Notably, Romney has attracted little support from independents; just 35% of those who have heard of him say there is a chance they could vote for the former Massachusetts governor, which is far less than the number of Republicans who say there is at least some chance they could vote for him (53%).
Candidate Impressions
Specific impressions of the leading candidates generally reflect either the national roles they have played or the visible aspects of their backgrounds: Hillary Clinton as the wife of former President Bill Clinton; John McCain as a Vietnam POW; Rudy Giuliani as a mayor and 9/11 figure; and John Edwards as a lawyer and former vice presidential candidate.
Barack Obama is an exception to this pattern. When people are asked what comes to mind when they think of Obama, a lack of history predominates; words like "inexperienced," "young," and "new" are frequently mentioned. Others cite qualities like "charismatic" and "smart" to describe Obama.
Aside from general mentions of Clinton's role as first lady, several people describe her as "smart" and "strong." Others say they disliked (or liked) Clinton, while some also call her "experienced."
Edwards's image appears to be less clear at this early stage. Many respondents say simply that nothing comes to mind when asked about the former North Carolina senator. Other frequently used descriptions include "lawyer" and "vice president."
Giuliani is closely associated with the city that he used to serve as mayor — more people mentioned "New York" to describe Giuliani than any other words. Related to his role in leading New York City after the Sept. 11 attacks, many people also mentioned "9/11," "leader," and "job" to describe him.
For many people, impressions of McCain are defined by his Vietnam service. Respondents used the words "war," "veteran," and "hero" to describe the Arizona Republican. A number also called McCain "experienced" and "old."
As is the case with Edwards, impressions of Mitt Romney are fairly thin. Many said "nothing" came to mind or offered no response. The most frequently mentioned words include "conservative," "Massachusetts," and "governor."
With the personal images of the candidates still emerging, so are the ways these personal qualities and attributes are playing with the public. An analysis of the survey results finds several patterns are apparent, but they are subject to change as more Americans focus on the campaign and the candidates:
- Gender is an important characteristic for some people in considering a vote for Hillary Clinton. Relatively few say gender would be an issue in their vote, but there is a strong correlation between views on this and opinions about the former first lady. Overall, a slight majority of men (51%) report there is at least some chance they will vote for Clinton while a somewhat larger majority of women (61%) say this.
- As many people say they are more inclined to vote for a black candidate as say they are less likely to do so; in both cases, the numbers are small (7% more likely/4% less likely). But on balance, Obama's race is a positive; he gets a disproportionate share of backing from the former group. The Illinois senator also gets strong backing from African Americans themselves. However, he trails Clinton slightly in this key Democratic constituency.
- Many voters say they are reluctant to vote for a Mormon for president, and people of this point of view are less inclined to vote for Mitt Romney. However, Romney has greater appeal among those who say they would be more likely to vote for a Christian than those for whom this does not matter.
- Military experience is one of the traits that is most attractive to people when considering a president. However, 48% say they would be less likely to support a candidate in their 70s. At this point, those who prize military experience are giving stronger support to John McCain, but those who object to older candidates are not substantially more reluctant to back him.
- Similarly, while Americans are disinclined to vote for candidates who have had extramarital affairs, this attitude is not linked to an inclination to vote against Rudy Giuliani, who was accused of having an affair by his former wife. But the poll suggests that the former New York mayor's support for gay rights does have the potential to hurt him among some Republicans: Those who say they would be less inclined to vote for a homosexual candidate are more likely to say there is no chance they will vote for Giuliani when compared with those for whom a candidate's sexual orientation does not matter.

Magnus Carlsen Wins Game Six of World Championship Match
The score has become 3,5:2,5 in world champion's favour.
Friday, December 3, game six of the Carlsen-Nepomniachtchi World Championship match finished in Dubai. The symbolic first move was made by Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin in presence of FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich and Governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra Natalya Komarova. Moscow and Khanty-Mansiysk will host the World Chess Olympiad in 2022.
As in game two, Magnus Carlsen opened the game by moving his queen pawn. A position typical of the Catalan opening arose soon after, only with the inclusion of not very desirable move b2-b3 for White. Black exploited this tempo to confidently solve his opening problems. In the pursuit of initiative, he decided to give up his two rooks for the queen. It gave rise to the turbulent tempo game. For the first time in the match, both opponents got into time trouble (in Dubai, a 30-second increment per move starts only after the move 60), having missed serious chances of winning one after another.
After passing the time control, the position became level. However, in an attempt to complicate the game, Ian exchanged his strong passed pawn for his opponent's less important counterpart, which he shouldn't have. On getting a technical position with minor but stable advantage and lack of any counterplay for his opponent, the world champion was patiently and ingeniously building up his chances of winning. The game lasted nearly eight hours; on move 136 Black had to admit his defeat.
The overall match score has become 3,5:2,5 in Magnus Carlsen's favour. Game seven is taking place Saturday, December 4, with Ian Nepomniachtchi playing the white pieces.

Access Management | News
Auraria Higher Education Center will be issuing new "contactless" smart cards to students and staff. The Denver, CO campus hosts three educational institutions--the Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver, and the University of Colorado Denver--which share common services, as well as students. Currently, about 43,000 students attend classes each year on the 126-acre campus.
The new contactless smart cards, provided by Multicard, initially will be used with the campus' existing door access system. "Contactless" describes embedded circuits inside the card that communicate with the door access system via radio waves. The same cards will also serve as Visa debit cards. With time, the Center expects to integrate the cards with other applications for student services, including parking, meal payment, library checkout, event management, emergency incidents, and lab and recreational tracking.
Multicard isn't new to the campus; this latest project is an upgrade. The Center contracted with the company to upgrade the existing campus identification card system in order to have the option of encoding contactless smart cards for use alongside its existing magnetic stripe cards. The first phase of the work required the vendor to develop secure encryption key technology that would prevent hacking attempts; later, the company upgraded the campus' existing printers to encode both smart cards and magnetic stripe cards, allowing the Center to migrate to chip-based ID cards over time.
"The Auraria campus is establishing best practices for campus environments in terms of implementing a multi-function contactless card," said Hugo Garcia, president of Multicard U.S. "By electing to utilize standards-based smart cards, they are benefitting from the highest level of encryption technology while avoiding the costs and inflexibility associated with proprietary card platforms."
