Your book earns out if/when it has earned enough in royalties to cover the advance the publisher paid you. Here's a bit of simple maths. Simple, I said. Don't hide behind the sofa, there. Maths is your friend - don't leave it to the publisher or your agent.
Stroppy Author gets an advance of £5,000 - hurray!
This means that to earn out the advance, the book needs to earn £5,000 in royalties
Stroppy Author's book sells for £10 a copy.
Stroppy Author gets a royalty of 10% - hurray!
This means that the royalty on each copy is 10% of £10 = £1
So to earn £5,000, the book would need to sell 5,000 copies at its cover price.
These are not real figures; this never happens - but that's the principle.
While we're on maths, let's do a spot of counting.
The press likes to shout about six-figure advances. This is to confuse people, who usually assume that a six-figure advance is a million pounds/dollars/euros. It isn't - a six-figure advance is one represented by a number that has six digits, so it is £100,000 (or $100,000) or more. Count the figures: a 1 and five 0s, that's six. Don't count the comma. So if you hear that an author has a five-figure advance, that means they have £/$10,000 or more, which is not necessarily very much. Obviously £99,000 is quite a lot; but $10,000 is not.
Some books never earn out their advance and are not even really expected to. If a publisher pays an advance of £300,000, this is largely to grab a lot of publicity. The book might earn out, but no one will be hugely surprised if it doesn't because a lot of these gambles don't pay off. To the author, the big advance seems to be a sign that the publisher is certain their book will be a bestseller. In fact, it's a sign that the publisher hopes their book will be a bestseller and thinks there's a pretty good chance it will be. But it's cheaper to pay an advance of £300,000 and get lots of free press coverage than to invest in posters all over the underground and buses. The publisher can still make a huge profit even if this book doesn't earn out.
How quickly your book earns out depends on the following factors:
- how large the advance was in the first place
- the royalty rate
- the price the books sell for.
I have books that will never earn out the advance. This is not because the advance was large, but because the royalty is pitifully small and it's a royalty on nett receipts (what the publisher actually gets, rather than the cover price) from books sold at massive discounts. I can think of a book that will have to sell 100,000 copies before I receive any royalties, and it's only sold about 40,000 so far in four years or so. It doesn't much matter, as I knew this was what would happen and was happy with the advance. In this case, you have to think of the advance as being a fixed fee and then if the book does earn out, the extra money is a bonus. Hooray!
On the other hand, I have a book that earned £1,000 royalties in the first two weeks - because it sold at cover price, had back orders and had a very small advance. Again, I knew this would happen - but it's more of a gamble because if the projections were wrong, or the publisher went bust or decided to discount the books, I'd earn very little from the book.
Understanding what you are getting is crucial. You might feel it's OK to accept a small advance if (a) you can live without the money for now and (b) you are confident you will get enough in royalties to make the deal worthwhile in the long run. Do the maths, though - how much will you really get?
Let's look at that hypothetical book at the start, the one with the £5,000 advance. Assume there is no advance. How many copies have to sell before you earn £5,000? Five thousand? No.
Cover price = £10; copies sold at (say) 40% discount, so nett receipts = £6 per copy
10% royalty = 60p per copy.
On that, your agent takes 15% + 20% VAT (in the UK) = 9p + 1.8p per copy = 10.8p per copy.
So for each copy sold, you get 60p - 10.8p = 49.2p.
That means it takes 10,163 copies for you to get £5,000.
(Of course, your agent would also take 15% + VAT of your advance, so your £5,000 advance comes to £4,100 in your bank. You need the book to sell 8,333 copies to make that.)
(You can use these sums in other territories. Swap £ for $ or Euros and p for cents.)
All this means that you need information in order to make a sensible decision about the contract you're offered.
In particular, you need to know the print run (how many copies the publisher will print), when they expect to reprint and how much they expect to sell the books for. Ask how long you expect it to take for the book to earn out the advance. A good publisher will be willing to tell you the print run and should be able to give you an estimate of the last two.
It's sensible to base your decision on the first print run - after all, if the publisher was certain the book would sell more copies, they would probably order a larger print run (but not necessarily - warehousing printed copies costs a lot, and there is cashflow to consider).
That book that earned £1,000 in the first for fortnight: I know that if the first print run sells out, and the average discount is 30%, the royalty will be nearly £9,000. The book will almost certainly reprint. I've written books that won't earn out, and have taken as long to write, for an advance of less than £9,000.
The lesson is, as always, ensure you have all the information you can get and make a decision based on it (and maths, if necessary).
- The advantages of a large advance are: you have money in the bank; you feel valued; the publisher is likely to work hard to sell the book because they have invested in it; the money you get (initially) is unaffected by the cover price/discounting.
- The disadvantages of a large advance are: it takes a long time to earn out; if the book doesn't earn out, the publisher will be less likely to commission your next book; people will be bitchy about you and assume your book is bad.
- The advantages of a small advance are: the book is likely to earn out, so you get some royalties, which always feels good when the book was written long ago; the publisher is more likely to commission your next book, especially if it sells better than expected
- The disadvantages of a small advance are: you don't have much money while you are writing the book; you feel undervalued (but that's subjective - work on your attitude!); people will be bitchy about you and assume your book is bad - but this time only if you tell them how large (small) your advance is, because the publisher isn't going to be shouting about it in The Bookseller.

Allegations of sexual misconduct have shaken many organizations, including ours. NPR has fired or suspended male executives, and so have other organizations within the public radio network. One of the biggest stars to have fallen is Garrison Keillor, longtime host of "A Prairie Home Companion." Minnesota Public Radio and its parent group, APMG, cut ties with Keillor last week. It is a complicated divorce, as Minnesota Public Radio's Euan Kerr reports. We should note Kerr and his news department were not involved in the company's decision.
EUAN KERR, BYLINE: For many people, there is no name more synonymous with public radio than Garrison Keillor, creator of "A Prairie Home Companion."
GARRISON KEILLOR: (Singing) I hear that old piano from down the avenue.
KERR: In July 2016, 18,000 people packed the Hollywood Bowl for Garrison Keillor's last hosting of "A Prairie Home Companion" and the final news from Lake Wobegon. Fans including Shenda Baker and Perry Chamberlain lapped it up.
SHENDA BAKER: There are many of us who have been listening to him for decades, and this was just a fabulous way to close this out.
PERRY CHAMBERLAIN: We're so sad to see him go but, gosh, what a show. He's so dearly missed.
KERR: In the early 1970s, Keillor convinced Minnesota Public Radio founder Bill Kling to launch "Prairie Home." Kling was in the Hollywood Bowl audience, too.
BILL KLING: He says he was lucky. He found the right niche. The audience was lucky 'cause we had him. The company was lucky because he did so much for all of us.
KERR: Indeed, he did. "A Prairie Home Companion's" success in the 1980s spurred Minnesota Public Radio's development. "Prairie Home" became a mainstay of the developing public radio system across the U.S., too. In 2005, it aired on 700 stations with a weekly audience of 4.3 million people. "Prairie Home" merchandise did big business, and in recent years Keillor hosted a series of sold-out cruises until last week, when the allegations of inappropriate behavior against Keillor surfaced. MPR's parent company, American Public Media Group, has released few details other than it involves one individual who alleges multiple incidents over an extended period of time, not a one-time inadvertent placing of his hand on her bare back as Keillor has said.
The divorce has been swift. APMG stopped distributing "Prairie Home" rebroadcasts hosted by Keillor and the popular Writer's Almanac feature. It is also renaming the new Chris Thile show. These actions have led some fans to accuse Minnesota Public Radio of trying to erase Keillor. Harvard Business School professor Rohit Deshpande says erasing the face of a brand can backfire.
ROHIT DESHPANDE: What a lot of organizations sometimes forget is that a brand is a human thing. A brand is the face of the organization to their audience.
KERR: Listeners have inundated Minnesota Public Radio with complaints, some canceling their memberships. Reporters here have repeatedly reached out to Keillor since the news broke, but he has not agreed to an interview. He has taken to Facebook, posting a message saying he was erasing Minnesota Public Radio from his new memoir. In another post he wrote, it's astonishing that 50 years of hard work can be trashed in a morning by an accusation. I always believed in hard work, and now it feels sort of meaningless. He removed both posts after a short time. Across the country, public radio program directors are left pondering the change. At WUNC in North Carolina, David Brower says losing the iconic "Prairie Home" name is disappointing.
DAVID BROWER: That's been an institution both here at WUNC and across the system, so it's a real loss to see it leave.
KERR: As the physical untangling of Garrison Keillor and "A Prairie Home Companion" continues, after decades of inviting Keillor into their lives on Saturdays, for many listeners the emotional untangling may prove to be more difficult. For NPR News, I'm Euan Kerr in St. Paul. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Nobody puts Bella in a corner
Dear LTT-ers
So the other night when I was browsing the super de dooper radical forum (the official name) I came across a video that BLEW my mind. The lovely Calli had posted a fanmade video of Bella and Edward to "Hungry Eyes" from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack! Behold…
Can you even believe how amazing this is?? So then jokingly I said, "Next you're going to tell me there's a video for 'She's like the Wind'" and wouldn't you know it THERE IS ONE!!
SERIOUSLY?! These just might be the best fan videos every created!
I'm thinking maybe Stephenie Meyer should just rewrite Twilight and move the location to camp Kellerman instead of Forks and Bella comes there the summer before going to Mount Holyoak and Edward is the dance instructor with a shady past. Wait a second… this is almost the same story line…
Calli also told me to look closer at the rest of the soundtrack to see how well it lined up to the movie and it got me thinking… DUDE this could be like the 'Dark side of the moon'/Wizard of Oz (Dark Side of the Rainbow) of our OUR generation! So next time I watch Twilight I'm going to invite some folks over, light some candles, put the Dirty Dancing soundtrack on repeat and hit play on the Twilight DVD and experience some Johnny and Baby + Bella and Edward magic! Who's with me??
I carried a watermelon!
Check out Letters to Rob

Thanks Calli!

Researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark and Caltech have developed a new method for organizing molecules on the nanoscale. Inspired by techniques used for folding DNA origami—first invented by Paul Rothemund, a senior research associate in computation and neural systems in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science at Caltech—the team, which includes Rothemund, has fabricated complicated shapes from DNA's close chemical cousin, RNA.
Unlike DNA origami, whose components are chemically synthesized and then folded in an artificial heating and cooling process, RNA origami are synthesized enzymatically and fold up as they are being synthesized, which takes place under more natural conditions compatible with living cells. These features of RNA origami may allow designer RNA structures to be grown within living cells, where they might be used to organize cellular enzymes into biochemical factories.
"The parts for a DNA origami cannot easily be written into the genome of an organism. An RNA origami, on the other hand, can be represented as a DNA gene, which in cells is transcribed into RNA by a protein machine called RNA polymerase," explains Rothemund.
So far, the researchers have demonstrated their method by designing RNA molecules that fold into rectangles and then further assemble themselves into larger honeycomb patterns. This approach was taken to make the shapes recognizable using an atomic force microscope, but many other shapes should be realizable.
A paper describing the research appears in the August 15 issue of the journal Science.
"What is unique about the method is that the folding recipe is encoded into the molecule itself, through its sequence." explains first author Cody Geary, a postdoctoral scholar at Aarhus University.
In other words, the sequence of the RNAs defines both the final shape, and the order in which different parts of the shape fold. The particular RNA sequences that were folded in the experiment were designed using software called NUPACK, created in the laboratory of Caltech professor Niles Pierce. Both the Rothemund and Pierce labs are funded by a National Science Foundation Molecular Programming Project (MPP) Expeditions in Computing grant.
"Our latest research is an excellent example of how tools developed by one part of the MPP are being used by another," says Rothemund.
"RNA has a richer structural and functional repertoire than DNA, and so I am especially interested in how complex biological motifs with special 3-D geometries or protein-binding regions can be added to the basic architecture of RNA origami," says Geary, who completed his BS in chemistry at Caltech in 2003.
The project began with an extended visit by Geary and corresponding author Ebbe Andersen, also from Aarhus University, to Rothemund's Caltech lab.
"RNA origami is still in its infancy," says Rothemund. "Nevertheless, I believe that RNA origami, because of their potential to be manufactured by cells, and because of the extra functionality possible with RNA, will have at least as big an impact as DNA origami."
Rothemund (BS '94) reported the original method for DNA origami in 2006 in the journal Nature. Since then, the work has been cited over 2,000 times and DNA origami have been made in over 50 labs worldwide for potential applications such as drug delivery vehicles and molecular computing.
"The payoff is that unlike DNA origami, which are expensive and have to be made outside of cells, RNA origami should be able to be grown cheaply in large quantities, simply by growing bacteria with genes for them," he adds. "Genes and bacteria cost essentially nothing to share, and so RNA origami will be easily exchanged between scientists."

OSPIRG: Relentless as ever to get their hands on our money
February 4th, 2014 by Thomas TullisIt's come to our attention here at The Oregon Commentator that OSPIRG is trying to work its dirty magic again. They don't seem to understand that we voted them out and that they are no longer recognized as campus group. Yet they keep coming back like a hippie zombie that feeds on student money instead of brains.
OSPIRG recently submitted proposals regarding renewed funding of their group through the student I-fees. Again they want to take our money and use it for their own inefficient, naive and frivolous plans. The OC has always been a vocal opponent of OSPIRG. Not just because they are a bunch of dirty hippies that don't shower but also because the OC stands for fiscal conservatism. That isn't going to change any time soon so look forward to more coverage on OSPIRG and their renewed plans to take your money in the next issue of The Oregon Commentator, which will be out this coming week.
Until then,

Kim Kardashian West Opens Up About Son's Hospitalization
A Happy New Year came a day late for Kanye and Kim Kardashian West. The couple's two-year-old son, Saint, was sent home on Tuesday (January 2) after spending three days in the hospital, fighting a bout of pneumonia.
The illness—a bacterial or viral infection that inflames one or both lungs and fills air sacs with fluid—can be life-threatening to children, so it's no wonder the soon-to-be mother of three was relieved to see her son recuperating from the ailment.
She posted a photo on Instagram letting the world know Saint is on the mend. "My precious baby boy is so strong!" she began the caption. "After spending three nights in the hospital & seeing my baby get multiple IV's and hooked up to oxygen machines, our end of year was challenging. Pneumonia is so scary."
"I just want to thank every nurse & doctor out there who works so hard around the clock," she added. "We are so grateful for you all! He's home and all better. He's so resilient I'm sure he will still say the ambulance ride was cool! My strong Saint 👼🏽"
We're so happy to hear the toddler is back home and wish him a fast and speedy recovery!

About 2.5 million more working-age Americans were uninsured last year, even before the coronavirus pandemic struck, according to a government report issued Wednesday.
The study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 14.5% of adults ages 18 to 64 were uninsured in 2019, a statistically significant increase from 2018, when 13.3% lacked coverage.
The increase in the uninsured rate came even as the economy was chugging along in an extended period of low unemployment. The findings suggest that even during good times, the U.S. was losing ground on coverage gains from the Obama-era health care overhaul.
Health insurance coverage has eroded under President Donald Trump, who is still trying to overturn the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare." By contrast, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden wants to expand the ACA and add a new public plan in a push to eventually cover all Americans.
The new numbers come from the CDC's National Health Interview Survey, which is considered one of the government's most authoritative reports. Lack of affordable coverage was the top reason given for being uninsured, cited by nearly 3 out of 4 surveyed.
In 2018, 26.3 million adults ages 18 to 64 were uninsured. Last year, that number rose to 28.8 million, CDC said.
The situation has only worsened since COVID-19 began to spread in the U.S. early this year, forcing a sudden economic shutdown that left millions out of work. How much worse is not yet known, because government surveys like the CDC's have a significant lag time.
Initial estimates from private experts that suggested more than 25 million people could have become uninsured due to pandemic job losses appear to have been too high.
More recent estimates suggest there are 5 million to 10 million newly uninsured. In the midst of a pandemic, that would still represent a sharp increase in the number of people who may face problems getting medical attention. Uninsured people often postpone going to see a doctor until their symptoms become severe.
Experts say there could be several reasons why coverage losses due to the pandemic have not been as deep as initial feared, including people switching to a spouse's plan and more people qualifying for Medicaid or for an ACA "special enrollment period."
The Trump administration has resisted calls to fully open the ACA insurance markets during the ongoing public health emergency.
The CDC report found that adults who were uninsured last year because coverage was not affordable were more likely to be in poor health, a group that's at higher risk of serious complications from COVID-19. Uninsured women were more likely to cite affordability problems than men, and those 50 and older were also more likely than the group under 30 to report a financial hardship.

Most homeowners need to borrow money from the bank before buying a property. It's often a necessary but unwanted acquisition due to lenders' perplexing contracts, extensive regulations, and steep interest rates. But what happens when you cannot meet those monthly mortgage payments? You'll probably unwillingly experience the dreaded VA foreclosure process, and will be looking for help.
Homeowners dread the F-word, and for good reason. Foreclosures can leave you homeless while ruining your credit. Although lenders are required to inform you about the many consequences resulting from a defaulted loan, the VA foreclosure process can seem sudden and life-altering. But how do foreclosures work? With knowledge and a little effort, you can effectively meet your state and lender's guidelines to avoid foreclosure completely.
How Does Foreclosure Work
Although state laws and lender regulations can differ, the steps of a foreclosure remain relatively similar. The foreclosure process timeline typically begins when a property owner cannot make principal or interest payments on their loan. If the loan borrower cannot assume payments or foregoes communication with the lender, steps will be taken to ultimately foreclose on the home. If a homeowner cannot pay their mortgage, the property being paid for with the loan will be seized and sold.
The foreclosure process timeline initiates when a homeowner misses their first monthly mortgage payment. You won't be penalized immediately; most lenders allow at least a week to make the missed payment without charging late fees. If a borrower cannot meet the payments, late fees, and interest after three to six months, the mortgage company will order a Notice of Default (NOD). The NOD provides information on the total amount owed and how much time an owner has to pay and is delivered by either a trustee or sheriff.
All foreclosures also include a Notice of Sale (NOS). The NOS is another physical document that is given to homeowners and posted on a property, usually within three months of the NOD. It identifies the date and time of the foreclosure sale where the property is publicly auctioned off to the highest cash bidder. Once a borrower receives a NOS, little can be done to salvage their foreclosed property.
The Types of Foreclosure
Even though the foreclosure process timeline is generally the same, there are different types of foreclosures allowed. Knowing their dissimilarities can help a homeowner resolve each with ease. According to the U.S. Department Housing and Urban Development, there are three different types of foreclosures: judicial, statutory, and strict. Their differences are minor but include court involvement, how notices are delivered, and the general outcome of the VA foreclosure process.
A foreclosure is designated judicial when the process involves the courts. All states allow a judicial foreclosure, so knowing its procedure is vital. After the three to six months of missed payments, the lender files a lis pendens – "lawsuit pending" – with an attorney. This type of foreclosure involves the judicial system to provide evidence of a default while getting the court's approval to initiate a NOS. If the borrower doesn't respond to the NOD within 30 days of the filed suit, the courts will sell the mortgaged property at auction.
The process is a tad different with a statutory foreclosure. A statutory foreclosure is also known as the power of sale due to a common clause found in many deeds of trust. The clause allows the trustee to skip the court's approval and sell the mortgaged property themselves, enabling a cheaper foreclosure process. If the homeowner dismisses the NOD or cannot pay within the waiting period, the mortgage company sells a home at auction. These non-judicial foreclosure auctions are typically more expedient than the court's.
A strict foreclosure contains the simplest foreclosure process timeline, but only a small amount of states allow it. The lender will file a lawsuit directly once the homeowner defaults. If the balance is continually unpaid, the court will give the mortgaged property back to the mortgage holder, effectively skipping a home auction. The seized home is now deemed Real Estate Owned (REO) and is independently sold by the lender. A strict foreclosure usually only occurs when the borrower's debt amount is greater than the property value.
Foreclosure Consequences
The VA foreclosure process is time-consuming, complicated, and costly. It also comes with great consequences to the homeowner that defaults on their property.
Although foreclosures wipe out some debt, some stick with the homeowner even after relinquishing the property. The original mortgage obtained at the home's purchase and some debt from a second mortgage can be paid after the home is sold. However, property owners are still required to pay second mortgages back to the lender if they're not paid off in full after a foreclosure sale. When homes depreciate or there's a significant drop in the real estate market, the foreclosure will be sold for less than what is owed. A court could decide to enter a deficiency judgment against the homeowner. The judgment holds the owner accountable for paying the difference and allows the lender to seize any other assets the property owner may have.
Another major consequence deals with the borrower's credit. Mortgage foreclosure is considered almost as damaging as filing for bankruptcy to most tax experts. A foreclosure, no matter the type, will remain on the credit report for seven years. This seriously limits a homeowner's ability to borrow in the future and may have a significant impact on your credit score.
How to Stop a Foreclosure
There are several stages within the VA foreclosure process in which to bring your loan current and halt the bank from seizing your home.
The easiest way to stop a foreclosure is to catch up on the missed mortgage payments. Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances keeping a homeowner from repaying. But if you can afford it, pay them off; you'll avoid a foreclosure on your credit and be able to continue living at your current residence.
Another way to exit the foreclosure process is by getting a loan modification to lower payments. A borrower can achieve this by either requesting their loan to be paid over a longer period or at increased interest rates. Many lenders are willing to work with homeowners to make reasonable payment options.
Homeowners can also avoid foreclosures altogether. Lenders are willing to work with cooperative borrowers, so communicate. If a mortgage company sends a NOD, don't ignore it! Responding to the notice and staying in contact with the lender will slow the foreclosure process.
You can also prevent foreclosures by knowing how much you owe each month and save accordingly. Although this is an obvious step, many homeowners will prioritize other expenses over paying their monthly mortgage. Create a budget and save the payment due date in your calendar. Responsible homeowners keep up with what they owe.
The threat of a foreclosure can be scary to a homeowner with an existing mortgage. But knowing how foreclosures work will help you avoid the consequences of a defaulted loan. By utilizing these preventative measures, you'll be able to skip a financially debilitating foreclosure completely, and continue to live in your dream house!
An Option to Avoid the Foreclosure Process
If you are facing foreclosure and have run out of options, you might consider getting a cash offer from a home buyer. Christian Buys Houses pays cash for houses so that you can sell before and close before the foreclosure. This usually allows you to keep the foreclosure off your credit and keep some of your equity.

Floating pumice seeding Aussie reefs
Coral castaways Thousands of kilometres of ocean may separate Tonga's many volcanoes and Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef, but researchers have found an interesting connection.
The unexpected connection is pumice, a lightweight, frothy rock that forms when molten lava cools rapidly in the air or ocean, explained geologist Dr Scott Bryan from the Queensland University of Technology.
The eruption of Tonga's Home Reef volcano in 2006, for example, left billions of pieces of pumice floating on the ocean, initially covering an area of at least 440 square kilometres.
Bryan and colleagues traced these pieces of pumice as they were swept by ocean currents toward North-eastern Australia, via Fiji and other Pacific island nations. Their findings appear this week in the journal PLoS One.
"The pumice we observed travelled more than 5000 kilometres in eight months, and for the first time we were able to document the more than 80 species of plant and animal life that made the journey with it," he said.
The researchers looked in detail at more than 5000 pieces of pumice that washed up along the length of the Great Barrier Reef and the coastline of Australia from Lizard Island in far north Queensland to Ballina, New South Wales
"Every piece of that pumice had organisms on it," Bryan said. Those organisms included corals, coralline algae and other species that help build coral reefs. They also included oysters, barnacles, snails and sponges.
"We found a lot of corals on the pieces of pumice," he said. "For every 100 pieces of pumice, we found at least one coral. And when you consider that there were billions of pieces of pumice, that's a lot of coral."
Rebuilding the reef
The findings support the idea that the Great Barrier Reef regularly benefits from biodiversity that has arrived long distance following volcanic eruptions, says Bryan.
"When you look at ocean currents and the trade winds, there's an east-west current, so the Great Barrier Reef may owe its origin to this kind of process," he says. "This kind of volcanism has been going on in the Tonga region for at least 2 million years."
The arrival of new species carried on the back of pumice stone might also help the reef to recover from damage in the future, he said. "Volcanoes erupt in Tonga regularly. So this is a way, every 5 to 10 years, of reef-building species coming in en-masse to potentially recolonise and restock the reef."
On the other hand, there is the risk that the pumice could bring pest species with it, Bryan warns.
"We saw no currently designated marine pests on the pumice, but there were species that are related to pest species. All we need is for some marine pest to be picked up by the pumice and they could bring them to the reef."
In all, the results reinforce the idea that the Great Barrier Reef is connected to seemingly far-removed ecosystems, he adds.
"Here's a natural process by which the reef can benefit from, but it also means that the health of our reef depends on the health of reefs in our region further to the east, at least through to Tonga. It's not just about looking after our reef, but all the reefs in our region."

A Youtube video by Niko's Wings of a night approach and landing at Chicago's O'Hare reminded me that I had done a similar stunt a bit further west at LAX.
If you have no first-hand experience with the navigation of the airways you will not know that landing at one of those big airports like O'Hare is virtually impossible for a private pilot with one fan in front.
You sometimes get routed through a Bravo airspace (the highly protected space around major airports) but to enter, you have to get explicit permission in the form of a clearance like "Piper Warrior N8300L cleared to enter Bravo airspace." But landing at the airport that this Bravo airspace protects, you don't' even think about it – – – normally.
But maybe I am not normal. So, in the 90s, I was playing in the airspace west of Burbank – my home airport, one late night, probably after 1 am. The radio was quiet most of the time and suddenly the idea hit me – why not shoot a practice approach into LAX, just 20-30 miles to the South-East.
So I tuned into LAX approach (now SoCal approach) – "LAX approach, PA28 N8300L, request!" I might have woken up the controller but he came back shortly "N8300L, LAX approach, go ahead."
I gathered all my courage and asked for a practice-approach into LAX. Unfortunately, the answer was that no practice approaches are permitted at LAX. But – – – you can have a full stop landing. Wow – that was even better! For all you non-flying peeps, a practice-approach is the pretense to land at an airport as if there were clouds so that you have to land only using your instruments. Then, when you are close enough to ensure a safe landing, you give full power and get out of there – often turning around, flying another approach – that's why it's called 'practice' approach.
Now, really landing at LAX with my Piper Warrior – that would be something to tell the grandchildren about, many, many years later.
So, yes, Sir – I'll take that approach and landing at LAX!
I got my clearance into the Bravo airspace and radar vectors to the ILS Runway 24R. (ILS stands for Instrument Landing System – a radio signal coming from the beginning of the runway that guides us down to the landing zone vertically and horizontally.)
And then I flew like a young god – holding my assigned altitude within 50 feet and pegged my directional gyro exactly where the controller had told me. I intercepted the ILS and slid down towards 24R.
Then it was time to switch from approach control to tower. Just saying "Los Angeles tower, Cherokee 8300L with you for 24R" grew some serious hair on my chest.
But I did not get to complete my landing at LAX after all. Tower told me that I should finish my approach and then fly a missed approach. That was the friendly way of giving me my practice approach without violating their rule that there are no practice approaches at LAX. It might have been a bit of a loss for me but, on the other hand, I might have owed LAX a landing fee.
I was handed over the approach control again which guided me out of the Bravo airspace and shortly I landed at my home base Burbank, tied down and went home a hero.

History suggests that as "big business" started to take hold in the late 1800s, women became more involved in business and working outside the home. However, few women owned companies. Those that did were in industries centered on women, such as home goods, apparel, or personal care.
Today, women own only 40% of businesses in the U.S., making Carrie Burnam Taylor's business of the early 20th century that much more impressive. Curated with Dr. Carrie Cox, this exhibit will explore Taylor's life and work, displaying three of her dresses, two coats, two bodices, and various undergarments recently conserved thanks to our Adopt-an-Artifact program.

If you're part of a same-sex family in a state where gay marriage isn't legal, your life is hard. If, for whatever reason, the parents in that family decide to separate, your life gets even harder – not just because of the separation, but because your total lack of any kind of legal legitimacy makes the logistical process of separating a total freefall, where everything you thought you could count on forever is gone and suddenly you don't know what you'll still have in your life the next day, if even your children will be taken away from you.
The one beacon of hope in these situations is second-parent adoption, which most states provide for same-sex and heterosexual families. A child with one biological parent can be legally bound to a second parent, creating a patchwork little family that is recognized by the courts, if not by society at large.
If you live in North Carolina, you just lost that one fragile assurance of stability. North Carolina justices have just de-authorized second-parent adoption, which affects not only same-sex parents but many adoptive families across the state.
…in a heartless decision, the North Carolina justices have ruled that this procedure is not authorized in their state. And, making matters worse, they are applying their ruling retroactively, canceling the adoptions that were previously seen as having been properly granted by local courts. Most state courts facing the same question have approved second-parent adoptions, and in the few states where courts have ruled otherwise (Connecticut and Colorado, for example), the state legislatures quickly fixed the problem. However, that is not likely to happen in the conservative legislature of North Carolina.
I don't have a background in social work or family law; I don't know much about the legal reality for adoptive families. I'm still left wondering, though: who could this possibly help? Is it even possible to see this decision as anything other than a calculated attack on adoptive families?
The justices did rule that the now non-legal parent would retain the right to seek reasonable visitation rights or even shared custody, which will be a boon to nontraditional families both straight and gay who haven't pursued second-parent adoption. It's true that those families have been left out in the cold by the system for far too long. But their due parental rights should have been granted long ago, and shouldn't have come at the expense of other families. And really, anyone who's lived with and cared for and fed and clothed and loved someone else for years should never have to settle for possibly getting visitation rights. This is damaging to families, and serves a political agenda instead of citizens – too bad the religious right doesn't seem like they're going to do anything about these anti-family values activist judges.

Ancient skeleton found in Mexico cave threatened by train
Sep 12, 2022, 8:37 PM | Updated: Sep 15, 2022, 3:52 pm
(Octavio del Rio via AP)
MEXICO CITY (AP) — A prehistoric human skeleton has been found in a cave system that was flooded at the end of the last ice age 8,000 years ago, according to a cave-diving archaeologist on Mexico's Caribbean coast.
Archaeologist Octavio del Rio said he and fellow diver Peter Broger saw the shattered skull and skeleton partly covered by sediment in a cave near where the Mexican government plans to build a high-speed tourist train through the jungle.
Given the distance from the cave entrance, the skeleton couldn't have gotten there without modern diving equipment, so it must be over 8,000 years old, Del Rio said, referring to the era when rising sea levels flooded the caves.
"There it is. We don't know if the body was deposited there or if that was where this person died," said Del Rio. He said that the skeleton was located about 8 meters (26 feet) underwater, about a half-kilometer (one third of a mile) into the cave system.
Some of the oldest human remains in North America have been discovered in the sinkhole caves known as "cenotes" on the country's Caribbean coast, and experts say some of those caves are threatened by the Mexican government's Maya Train tourism project.
Del Rio, who has worked with the National Institute of Anthropology and History on projects in the past, said he had notified the institute of the discovery. The institute did not immediately respond to questions about whether it intended to explore the site.
But Del Rio said Tuesday that institute archaeologist Carmen Rojas told him that the site was registered and would be investigated by the institute's Quintana Roo state branch Holocene Archaeology Project.
He stressed that the cave — whose location he did not reveal because of a fear the site could be looted or disturbed — was near where the government has cut down a swath of jungle to lay train tracks, and could be collapsed, contaminated or closed off by the building project and subsequent development.
"There is a lot more study that has to be done in order to correctly interpret" the find, Del Rio said, noting that "dating, some kind of photographic studies and some collection" would be needed to determine exactly how old the skeleton is.
Del Rio has been exploring the region for three decades, and in 2002, he participated in the discovery and cataloguing of remains known as The Woman of Naharon, who died around the same time, or perhaps earlier, than Naia — the nearly complete skeleton of a young woman who died around 13,000 years ago. It was discovered in a nearby cave system in 2007.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is racing to finish his Maya Train project in the remaining two years of his term over the objections of environmentalists, cave divers and archaeologists. They say his haste will allow little time to study the ancient remains.
Activists say the heavy, high-speed rail project will fragment the coastal jungle and will run often above the fragile limestone caves, which — because they're flooded, twisty and often incredibly narrow — can take decades to explore.
Caves along part of the coast already have been damaged by construction above them, with cement pilings used to support the weight above.
The 950-mile (1,500-kilometer) Maya Train line is meant to run in a rough loop around the Yucatan Peninsula, connecting beach resorts and archaeological sites.
The most controversial stretch cuts a more than 68-mile (110-kilometer) swath through the jungle between the resorts of Cancun and Tulum.
Del Rio said the route through the jungle should be abandoned and the train should be built over the already-impacted coastal highway between Cancun and Tulum, as was originally planned.
López Obrador abandoned the highway route after hotel owners voiced objections, and cost and traffic interruptions became a concern.
"What we want is for them to change to route at this spot, because of the archaeological finds that have been made there, and their importance," said Del Rio. "They should take the train away from there and put it where they said they were going to build before, on the highway … an area that has already been affected, devastated."

The United Nations Security Council unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday that demands an "immediate cessation of hostilities" in conflict zones around the world, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic. It is the first resolution related to the coronavirus that the council has passed.
The text calls for "all parties to armed conflicts to engage immediately in a durable humanitarian pause for at least 90 consecutive days" to allow for delivery of humanitarian assistance and medical evacuations.
The resolution, which was introduced by France and Tunisia, does not apply to military operations against ISIS and al-Qaida. It will pertain to conflicts including those in Syria, Yemen, Libya, South Sudan and Congo, The Associated Press reports.
The Security Council has struggled for months to pass a resolution related to COVID-19, due largely to tussling between the United States and China over a reference to the World Health Organization, which is an agency of the U.N.
In April, President Trump suspended U.S. fundingof the World Health Organization, and he announcedin May that the U.S. would withdraw its membership.
The State Department pushed for any references to the organization to be removed from the ceasefire resolution. The U.S. wanted the resolution instead to speak of "transparency." China, meanwhile, wanted to specifically mention the WHO.
The resolution that passed Wednesday is apparently a compromise: It makes no reference to either the WHO or transparency.
In an interview last month with NPR, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres lamented the Security Council's gridlock in a time of global crisis.
"We see that the very dysfunctional relationship that exists today between the United States-China, United States-Russia, makes it practically impossible for the Security Council to take any meaningful decision that would be fundamental" to fight COVID-19 effectively, Guterres said.
Unlike resolutions of the U.N. General Assembly, resolutions of the Security Council are legally binding.
"The point is that we have multilateralism, but the multilateralism we have has no teeth," Guterres said. "We need mechanisms of cooperation, with mechanisms of governance, that simply do not exist. And even where we have in the multilateral system some teeth, as is the case of Security Council, it has shown very little appetite to bite."

Music in the Workplace
Over the ages, music has held a place in the working environment. From it's use in the earliest of times until its near extinction during the Industrial Age to the present day, music has played a vital role to employees.
A Brief History
Music is a universal language that transcends boundaries. In Victorian times, handloom weavers sang as they worked. When the loud machinery of the Industrial Age came along, music in the workplace was nearly lost. During World War II, music was once again introduced to employees via radio.
Employees, often children, would lose fingers to the looms while attempting to remove something that was blocking it. Child laborers would sing to keep themselves awake.
Railroad workers and farmers sang to relieve monotony and to stay alert to dangers. With the advent of machines in the Industrial Age, singing was literally drowned out. In quieter factories, women or orchestras were hired to sing and play among the workers. Music all but died during this time. (le Roux, 2005, vol. 7)
Radio was mainly used as a means to convey news, but in 1940, the British Broadcasting Corporation began running a radio program called "Music While You Work." It ran twice per day and was geared especially for the factory workers. The bands for the show were instructed to play medleys in order to keep the workers' attention. Also vital was for the music to keep a rhythm that would keep productivity up.
In 1942, the song "Deep in Heart of Texas" was banned due to the handclapping section that encouraged workers to momentarily stop and participate. (le Roux, 2005) Even in these earliest of times, the benefits of music in the workplace were recognized:
o Increased productivity
o Fewer accidents
Improved alertness
o Team interaction
In response to the positive reaction, the company Muzak was founded in the 1950's to provide music to companies. The company is still going strong today.
Modern Study of Music in the Workplace
In modern times, studies have been conducted to gauge the benefits of music in a work setting. These studies have proved much of what was already known, mainly that music improves productivity.
One study indicates that "positive affect and quality-of-work were lowest with no music, while time-on-task was longest when music was removed." (Lesiuk, 2005, pp. 173-191) On the other hand, "positive mood change and enhanced perception of design" (Lesiuk, pp. 173-191) were complemented with the addition of music.
Additional studies have shown that music in the workplace promotes positive mood, sense of team, improves alertness and can lessen the event of accidents. Music "motivates workers, decreases boredom and leads to increased productivity perhaps because people work in time with the beat." (le Roux, 2005)
Employers do need to consider the type of music played in a workplace. The mood and style should fit the business. Experts suggest all-instrumental soundtracks so that workers don't become distracted by the lyrics. (Guess, 1999, p. 42)
Personal Headphones in the Workplace
Today, there is some movement toward personal stereos for employees. A study by researchers at the university of Illinois shows listening to music may increase the output of employees in all types of jobs. (Oldham, 1996, p. 95) The idea of personal stereos is that when a worker is allowed to listen to the type of music he or she enjoys, the better the quality of their work. While this idea is fairly recent, it does show promise.
Music has been the soundtrack to humanity undoubtedly since time began. It speaks to people on a primal level. Before researchers even began to study the effect of music on workers, people were weaving, working in their fields or and other jobs while humming or singing along. Now, researchers are proving what these people knew all along: music makes work go by faster and keeps spirits up.

Knock down ginger
What is disturbing is not the arguments in this paper nor its publication in an ethics journal. It is the hostile, abusive, threatening responses that it has elicited. More than ever, proper academic discussion and freedom are under threat from fanatics opposed to the very values of a liberal society.
What on earth did they think the online response would be to a paper that specifically denies that newborn babies are people and argues on that basis that it ought to be permissible to kill them? This is the internet for God's sake, you might just as well argue that little kittehs ought to be tied in sacks and put down the waste disposal.
What the response to this article reveals, through the microscope of the web, is the deep disorder of the modern world. Not that people would give arguments in favour of infanticide, but the deep opposition that exists now to liberal values.
I think that self-designated liberals should probably distance themselves from the idea that 'liberal values' include infanticide, however reasoned the arguments in its favour.
