"Gold on the Ceiling" is a song by American rock band The Black Keys. It is the third track from their seventh studio album El Camino and was released as the record's second single on February 25, 2012. The song was certified platinum in Australia and Canada.
Two videos were shot for the song. The first, directed by Reid Long, features footage from the band's concerts, as well as candid shots of them on tour.
Will Hermes of Rolling Stone called the song's keyboards "a serrated organ growl backed up with a SWAT team of hand claps" and cited it as an example of Danger Mouse's prowess as a producer and co-writer.
Summarizing the song, Hermes wrote, "It's Sixties bubblegum garage pop writ large, with T. Rex swagger and a guitar freakout that perfectly mirrors the lyrics, a paranoid rant that makes you shiver while you shimmy." John Soeder of The Plain Dealer labeled it one of the album's finest and said that it sounded like a hybrid of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" and Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part 2".
Harley Brown of Consequence of Sound called the song "bombastic, slightly sleazy" and said that it "best sums up The Black Keys' almost unbelievably consistent musicianship and success".
Melissa Maerz of Entertainment Weekly said that the song, "with its swarm-of-bees organs and acid-trip gospel harmonies, could be a lost Nuggets gem". Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles Times, writing about the song's retro stylings, said that it "sounds as if it's existed forever".
Sam Richards of NME said that the song's "brilliantly demented cowboy glam holler… is boosted by the band's new trio of female backing singers wailing for all they're worth".

I've made my first novel, Ventus, available as a free download, as well as excerpts from two of the Virga books. I am looking forward to putting up a number of short stories in the near future.
To celebrate the August, 2007 publication of Queen of Candesce, I decided to re-release my first novel as an eBook. You can download it from this page. Ventus was first published by Tor Books in 2000, and and you can still buy it; to everyone who would just like to sample my work, I hope you enjoy this version.
I've released this book under a Creative Commons license, which means you can read it and distribute it freely, but not make derivative works or sell it.
I've made large tracts of these two Virga books available. If you want to find out what the Virga universe is all about, you can check it out here:
In spring 2005, the Directorate of Land Strategic Concepts of National Defense Canada (that is to say, the army) hired me to write a dramatized future military scenario. The book-length work, Crisis in Zefra, was set in a mythical African city-state, about 20 years in the future, and concerned a group of Canadian peacekeepers who are trying to ready the city for its first democratic vote while fighting an insurgency. The project ran to 27,000 words and was published by the army as a bound paperback book.
If you'd like to read Crisis in Zefra, you can download it in PDF form.
I'm a member of the Association of Professional Futurists with my own consultancy, and am also currently Chair of the Canadian node of the Millennium Project, a private/public foresight consultancy active in 50 nations. As well, I am an award-winning author with ten published novels translated into as many languages. I write, give talks, and conduct workshops on numerous topics related to the future, including:
For a complete bio, go here. To contact me, email karl at kschroeder dot com
I use Science Fiction to communicate the results of actual futures studies. Some of my recent research relates to how we'll govern ourselves in the future. I've worked with a few clients on this and published some results.
Here are two examples--and you can read the first for free:
The Canadian army commissioned me to write Crisis in Urlia, a fictionalized study of the future of military command-and-control. You can download a PDF of the book here:
For the "optimistic Science Fiction" anthology Hieroglyph, I wrote "Degrees of Freedom," set in Haida Gwaii. "Degrees of Freedom" is about an attempt to develop new governing systems by Canadian First Nations people.
I'm continuing to research this exciting area and would be happy to share my findings.
"Science fiction at its best."
--Kim Stanley Robinson
"Lean and hugely engaging ... and highly recommended."
--Open Letters Monthly, an Arts and Literature Review
(Sun of Suns and Queen of Candesce are combined in Cities of the Air)
"An adventure-filled tale of sword
fights and naval battles... the real fun of this coming-of-age tale includes a
pirate treasure hunt and grand scale naval invasions set in the cold, far
reaches of space. "
—Kirkus Reviews (listed in top 10 SF novels for 2006)
"With Queen of Candesce, [Schroeder] has achieved a clockwork balance of deftly paced adventure and humour, set against an intriguing and unique vision of humanity's far future.
--The Globe and Mail
"[Pirate Sun] is fun in the same league as the best SF ever has had to offer, fully as exciting and full of cool science as work from the golden age of SF, but with characterization and plot layering equal to the scrutiny of critical appraisers."
"...A rollicking good read... fun, bookish, and full of insane air battles"
"A grand flying-pirate-ship-chases-and-escapes-and-meetings-with-monsters adventure, and it ends not with a debate or a seminar but with a gigantic zero-gee battle around Candesce, a climactic unmasking and showdown, just desserts, and other satisfying stuff."

Key Event Relationship Overview
The utility of AOPs for regulatory application is defined, to a large extent, by the confidence and precision with which they facilitate extrapolation of data measured at low levels of biological organisation to predicted outcomes at higher levels of organisation and the extent to which they can link biological effect measurements to their specific causes.Within the AOP framework, the predictive relationships that facilitate extrapolation are represented by the KERs. Consequently, the overall WoE for an AOP is a reflection in part, of the level of confidence in the underlying series of KERs it encompasses. Therefore, describing the KERs in an AOP involves assembling and organising the types of information and evidence that defines the scientific basis for inferring the probable change in, or state of, a downstream KE from the known or measured state of an upstream KE.

There was a 4 percent drop in the number of violent crimes reported in the U.S. last year vs. 2010, the FBI reports. It's the fifth straight year of declines, according to FBI records.
In its Preliminary Annual Uniform Crime Report, the FBI says that data collected from 14,009 law enforcement agencies indicate that:
-- "In 2011, all four of the violent crime offense categories — murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault — declined nationwide when compared with data from 2010. Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter declined 1.9 percent, while forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault each declined 4.0 percent."
-- There was also a 0.8 percent drop in property crimes.
-- "Arson offenses, which are not included in property crime totals, decreased 5.0 percent nationwide. Arsons declined in all four regions in 2011, with the Northeast experiencing the largest decrease (12.3 percent)."

Caring for your jewellery
Handmade Jewellery Care
Handmade jewellery made from sterling silver, brass, bronze, and mixed metals is an affordable luxury that you can enjoy wearing every day. But it requires regular cleaning and care to keep it looking its best. Everyday pollutants, wear and tear, and body lotions can tarnish silver, gold-plated, and gemstone jewellery and make it lose its shine.
Gemstone Jewellery Care
We only use genuine gemstones in Charlotte's Web Jewellery, which we hand-pick for their vibrant colours and brilliant shine. Each stone is unique, just like you, and they have different physical properties that make them susceptible to dulling and scratching when exposed to air pollutants and everyday elements. Gemstone do not like light and heat...
Sterling Silver Jewellery Care
Hardwearing and eternally beautiful, sterling silver remains one of the most popular precious metals used in jewellery making today. As an alloy of pure silver and other metals, usually copper, sterling silver is strong enough for everyday wear and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin. But it can tarnish if not cleaned and cared for properly.
Gold Plated Jewellery Care
Gold plated jewellery allows us to bask in the golden glow of yellow gold without splurging on the real thing. It's an everyday luxury for ladies who love to sparkle and an affordable way to add the latest jewellery fashions to our must-have collections.
Brass Jewellery Care
Adored for generations: brass jewellery is a timeless treasure that lasts a lifetime with regular care. A blend of zinc and copper, brass is one of the most durable precious metals available today but, it tarnishes when exposed to water, soap, perfume, body lotions, and even elements in the air.

Fantasy 5 – The Actual Buzz In Lottery Gaming

As you will recall, Jim Harrick and his son won a lot of basketball games at UGA. But any achievements on the court were badly tarnished (and eventually rescinded) by their actions off the court. In the last few weeks of the 2002-2003 season, Jeremy Schapp reported on major academic compromises in favor of the basketball team and payments to players (Tony Cole) and their friends.
The result of the story was a cascade of horrors: no post season for one of the best Georgia basketball teams ever, the program being the subject of late night comedy monologues (how many points is a three point basket worth?), the resignation of Harrick and his staff, and NCAA sanctions.
For Baylor's basketball program, the result was five scholarship reductions, recruiting limitations, and five years of probation. The NCAA also found that the Baylor administration lacked institutional control of the basketball program, as severe a finding as the NCAA can make. Because Baylor was a repeat offender, it was eligible for the death penalty, but the NCAA spared the Bears. The year after the scandal, Baylor went 8-21. Per their NCAA penalties, they only played a conference schedule in 2005-2006 going 4-13. Baylor continues to be on NCAA probation. I think we can all agree that the Baylor scandal, by any reasonable measure, was far worse than the Harrick debacle, both in terms of the actions that produced it and the cumulative penalty imposed as a result.

If basketball fans in Seattle and Sacramento can step back from their emotions just a moment, I hope they can appreciate that they are participants in a sports spectacle more epic than anything they will witness on an NBA court.
In a showcase week for how American business truly works, the Seattle bidders for the NBA Kings answered a kickback from the Sacramento bidders with a bribe. The game grows so ruthless that soon someone will leave the gun and take the cannoli.
Friday, Seattle bidder Chris Hansen posted on his website that he increased his offer $75 million for a total valuation of $625 million, which amounts to an attempt to buy votes of fence-sitting owners who will gather in Dallas Wednesday to decide the issue.
The "sweetener" comes after the Sacramento bidders sweetened their bid by telling the NBA before the relocation vote that they will kick back its share of the league's annual revenue-sharing once the Kings are in a new arena proposed for downtown, a sum estimated currently to be around $18 million annually for the have-not Kings.
Since we still have a few days to go, before the vote, is it reasonable to expect that we are edging closer to a virgins-into-the-volcano stage? Well, in a manner of speaking, yes.
According to a source with whom I talked by phone, who was knowledgeable of Hansen's plans but who didn't want to be identified, mostly out of fear of a court-ordered mental-health evaluation, "There's more."
Lock up your daughters.
While the speculation about motives and strategy has commenced fearsome chattering among the digirati locally and nationally, Hansen was fairly straightforward in his post:
"While we appreciate that this is a very difficult decision for the league and owners, we hope it is understood that we really believe the time is now to bring the NBA back to Seattle," Hansen wrote. "It is paramount that we do everything we can to put Seattle's best foot forward in this process."
To me, that means Hansen is not putting stock in either of two alternatives that have been objects of speculation since Hansen was denied in a 7-0 vote two weeks ago by the NBA's relocation committee: Litigation or expansion.
He doesn't want this purchase and arena project to be delayed. Period.
Doesn't want to sue. Doesn't want a promise of expansion in a year, or two, or three. He wants the Kings.
Right. Damn. Now.
I get that. If he is denied, he knows that the blow will be equally damaging financially and emotionally. The threat is real that he will not be able to re-assemble for a second try the personal, public and political energy that the current project has gathered.
With Mayor McGinn, a solid Hansen supporter, up for re-election this year in a field of seven, there is no guarantee that his tenancy will survive the primary Aug. 6. If it does, he has to get through general election Nov. 5.
As important, marshaling public passion for a third joust over an NBA franchise after being hosed twice in five years seems daunting at best. At least right now. What they do have right now is a signed purchase and sale agreement with the family that owns the Kings, and a lot of money.
So the motive for the latest gambit is plain. What about the strategy?
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson was quick to dismiss the latest twist in the saga, reiterating NBA Commissioner David Stern's point in February that the outcome "would not be dictated by a bidding war," he wrote in an email. Well, after the kickback by the Sacramento bidders, it's a little late for that now, yes?
Johnson continued that the issue has always been about Sacramento's ability to create an ownership and an arena that "ensures the franchise can rebuild and thrive." That's true, but as recently as this week, two sources familiar with the situation said that the Sacramento bidders were still soliciting more investors to join. And the Sacramento Bee reported this week that the NBA has "encouraged" the Sacramento bidders to put in 100 percent of the cash that would go to the Maloofs into an escrow account. Hansen's $525 million has been in escrow for some time.
The NBA has a reasonable apprehension that the commitment to continue in Sacramento, especially with the downtown arena plan in its infancy, will not work, given the remaining obstacles as well as the haste with which it was assembled.
On the other hand, Hansen's first increase in the bid price, $25 million, was "not recognized" at the Board of Governors meeting April 19, according to the same source, ostensibly because it wasn't part of the original purchase and sale agreement signed with the Maloofs in January. Whether that was a procedural matter or a genuine disqualification isn't known, but the tactic could provide a workaround for the anti-Hansen crowd.
The big unknown is whether the new, $625 million valuation will move the needle to Seattle for some owners, only 16 of which are needed to approve relocation. The source said the original vote by the relocation committee was 4-3, but the dissenters were asked to throw in their votes for the sake of unanimity.
Hansen's new increase, if accepted, for the 65 percent share the Maloofs own means the sellers would gross $406 million, compared to the $341 million asked from the group led by Silicon Valley billionaire Vivek Ranadive. Even for the mega-wealthy owners of the NBA, that difference is significant.
Unpopular as are the Maloofs, they remain members of the lodge, and $65 million is $65 million — a windfall upon windfall no owner would have anticipated as recently as early January, only a year removed from a lockout.
As much as owners love the principle of supporting smaller markets and would like to hug the pro-Sactown Stern at every turn, $65 million is, as has been suggested, $65 million.
One strategic virtue of the increased offer is that it may force owners to at least allow the vote on the sale, which requires three-quarters (23 of 30) approval. That would allow an airing of the choice between principle –or, as Johnson put it recently at a press conference, "the high road" — and pragmatism.
In 2008 with the Sonics, the owners ignored principle and went with the pragmatic move to Oklahoma City. We shall shortly find out if they've taken the cure — at Seattle's expense.
In the meantime, more drama will unfold. All that we ask for is no horses' heads in beds. It's been done.

Beautiful concurrency
I have written a chapter for a book called "Beautiful code", edited by Greg Wilson. The chapter is a tutorial about Software Transactional Memory in Haskell. The book is aimed at a general audience of programmers, not Haskell geeks, so I have tried to explain everything necessary as I go along.
You can find the paper itself, and the code download here. This Wiki talk-page is a place to contribute any post-publication thoughts or observations about the paper, if you wish.
Simonpj 14:26, 22 December 2006 (UTC) To add a note, begin with four tilde signs ~~~~; the Wiki will fill in your user name and date.
Croach 17:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)I just wanted to mention that it appears there is a small typo in the example code on page 2 of the paper. In the code you have a synchronized method called "withdraw" which you use again in the non-synchronized "deposit" method, only here you call the "withdraw" method "withdrawn". By the way, absolutely wonderful paper. I've been trying to learn everything I can about both Haskell and STM in the past few months and not only did this paper greatly increase my knowledge of STM, but it also helped increase my understanding of the basics of Haskell, which I already assumed I had a good grasp on. So, thank you for this work, it was an absolute joy to read.
CloudiDust 16:24, 25 February 2007 (UTC) Thanks very much for this wonderful paper! I'm gaining a lot from it now as both a newbie to Haskell and one to concurrency. Here are the typos I have found:
A. There is no "Int" but "int" in java. (I suppose they are java codes. :)
B. In the code at the beginning of Page 3, there seems to be a semicolon missing after "to.unlock()".
C. In the Footnote 2 in Page 5, the sentence "That's because Haskell supports currying, which can you can ..." seems to duplicate a "can", and there seems to be a right parenthesis missing after "e.g. [13]".
I'm now busy translating this paper into Chinese, and will feedback as often as I can. I wonder whether I can put my translation on the net and if so which license could I use? Many thanks again!
TuukkaH 22:07, 23 June 2007 (UTC) What can we say about the relation to message passing: Solving the Santa Claus Problem in Erlang?
ChrisKuklewicz 14:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC) In response to TuukkaH, I have posted code at Santa which is just a short adaptation of the Erlang to Haskell using just Chan and TChan (to get orElse).
TuukkaH 14:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC) Thanks ChrisKuklewicz! I interpret that as Haskell supporting message passing better than Erlang, and it actually being a subconcept in STM too.
Alisezgin 12:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC) it was a good read. i will have to look into a more detailed exposition pretty soon. but one quick question:
from what i understand, an atomic block can only have side effects on stm variables. what if i want to have a block of io instructions (like launchmissiles) that need to be executed with no intervening instructions/threads, that is, atomically? this is of course assuming that rolling back will not be needed for this specific block. is this something that is fundamentally disallowed because it is poor programming practice? admittedly, i am no concurrent programmer so i am not familiar with what might come up while designing a concurrent system.
Cjs 08:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC) For I/O, you need to use locks. STM isn't a pancea. The reason the whole rollback thing works so well for STM in Haskell (it's a major problem in most non-Haskell STM implementations) is because the code run in the STM monad is pure (i.e., can't do I/O).

As a state established by Khan Asparoukh, Bulgaria has existed for more than 13 centuries.
The First Bulgarian Kingdom
In 681 the Bulgarian State was founded with Khan Asparoukh as the leader of a union of the Slavs and the Proto-Bulgarians in their struggle against Byzantium.
The Second Bulgarian Kingdom
In 1187 the Second Bulgarian Kingdom, with Turnovo as its capital, was established.
The Third Bulgarian Kingdom
The Third Bulgarian State had its start with the San-Stefano peace agreement signed on March 3rd, 1878. As a result of that agreement Bulgaria was restored on the territory of the three historical and ethnic Bulgarian regions – namely Moesia, Thrace and Macedonia.
The New Bulgarian History
After restoring national state-hood in 1877/1878 Bulgaria was a constitutional monarchy with a democratic government and a quickly developing economy.
Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak
Discovered in 1944, this tomb dates from the Hellenistic period, around the end of the 4th century B.C. It is located near Seutopolis, the capital city of the Thracian king Seutes III, and is part of a large Thracian necropolis. The tholos has a narrow corridor and a round burial chamber, both decorated with murals representing Thracian burial rituals and culture.
The Boyana church
During the Middle Ages the strong Bulgarian fortress of Boyana (Batil) stood on the lower slopes of Mount Vitosha in what is now the Sofia suburb of Boyana. This name is mentioned for the first time in 969. Boyana was one of the thirty-five fortresses and settlements, which formed the fortification systems of the city of Sredets (Sofia). The Boyana Church was build within the fortress and is a magnificent example of medieval architecture and monumental art.
Ivanovo rock monastery
Located on almost a cosmic landscape - rock massifs, enveloping the picturesque river valley near the city of Rousse. As if striving to be closer to God, hermit monks settled here during the 11th - 14th century, digging cells, churches and chapels into the rocks. Talented artists painted them with realistic frescos, exquisite in colour and composition, and turned them into a treasure trove of Bulgarian mediaeval painting.
In 1983 Nessebur was put on the UNESCO List of World Cultural Monuments. Systematic archaeological studies, reinforcement, restoration and conservation have preserved the material traces of history more than anywhere else. You feel as if you are on the borderline with another world. The small peninsula is a meeting place of bygone times. The millennia of uninterrupted human occupation (the earliest traces of human settlement date back to over 3000 years ago) have produced an impressive cultural layer which is as thick as 6 meters in some places.
The Madara horseman
The Madara Rider, representing the figure of a knight triumphing over a lion, is carved into a 100-m-high cliff near the village of Madara in north-east Bulgaria. Madara was the principal sacred place of the First Bulgarian Empire before Bulgaria's conversion to Christianity in the 9th century. The inscriptions beside the sculpture tell of events that occurred between A.D. 705 and 801.
"Srebarna" Nature reservat
Srebarna Lake is located on the Danube flood plain, 19km west of the town of Silistra. The area was declared a wildfowl refuge in 1942 and established as a nature reserve in 1948.
Srebarna is the only natural tract of land of any considerable extent to be protected in north-eastern Bulgaria, a floristic region of the Ukraine-Kazakh biotic province. Plants include the reed community Phragmites communis which occupies two thirds of the reserve and forms a thick barrier around the lake, water lily Nymphaea alba and a number of rare marsh plants. Some 67 plant apecies can be found in Srebarna Nature Reserve, some of which are rare in Europe.
The reserve was set up primarily to protect the rich avifauna, nearly 180 bird species (half of the Bulgarian avifauna), including 80 migratory species. There are 99 breeding species, including the only Bulgarian colony of Dalmatian pelican.
Pirin National park
Difficult of access, but singulary beautiful, the Pirin Mountains have always attracted man and yet remained an enigma. A protected area of 27,400 hectares is located in the northern and central mountain part.
About 60 alpine peaks, snow-capped for most of the year, rise above 2,500 m and eternal snow glitters at the bottom of the circuses. The clean mountain waters flow into more than 176 glacier lakes. The fame of the Pirin forests, covering more than half its area, is due to the black and white fir. Some 97 different small plant varieties glow here. Almost extinct animal species such as the wild goat, wild cat and capercaillie have also found shelter in Pirin.
Rilla monastery
Rila Monastery was founded in the l0th century by the Bulgarian monk St. John of Rila and was rebuilt in the l3th -l4th century. From that time are the fortress tower (1334), the bishop's throne, richly carved doors and some manuscripts, icon-paintings and church plates. In the l5th century, when Bulgaria fell to the Ottoman Turks, the monastery was abandoned for a short time but in the second half of the same century it was restored to a new life. Later it was for several times plundered and ravaged. Its thorough renovation began in the early l9th century. It was then that the residential wings and the church of the Holy Virgin were raised (1834-1837). The Rila Monastery has been listed as a world monument of culture. In it there is a well-appointed museum.
Thracian tomb of Sveshtari
Located in a region declared an archaeological reserve, near the town of Razgrad. 2300 years ago master stonemasons erected the tomb of a Thracian king.
Perfect as architecture, it amazes both with its wealth of sculptural ornaments - the caryatides below the vault, rosettes, stylizes ox heads, garlands, colonnades, as well as the ritual of heroization painted in vibrant colours. A remarkable monument of Thracian art - the biggest sensation of ancient archaeology in the recent years.
Rose oil
The famous Bulgarian rose oil, produced in the region of Kazanlak, is a component of French and of other world-famous perfumes.
Bulgarian opera singers
The legend of the Thracian singer Orpheus, who charmed gods with his music, tells that he was born in the Rhodopes. Bulgarian singers and musicians of today are no less famous than Orpheus. One of the most famous opera bass-singers (Boris Christov and Nikolai Gyaurov) and the beautiful soprano Raina Kabaivanska and many others are Bulgarians.
Valia Balkanska
The 'Voyager' spacecraft launched in the 1970s on a voyage to meet and communicate with other planets, carried a laser disc of ten songs believed to be representative of 'Earth'. One of these songs was the Bulgarian tune "Izlel e Deliu Haidutin" from the Rhodope region.
Elias Canetti
Elias Canetti was born in Bulgaria.
John Vincent Atanassoff
The inventor of the first electronic computer, John Vincent Atanassoff, was of Bulgarian origin.
Hristo Stoichkov
The famous football player Hristo Stoichkov was born in Bulgaria. He was the man who led Barcelona to their first European Champions' Cup!
Christo Javacheff
The Environmental Artist Christo (Javacheff) was born in Bulgaria. He produced dimensional packaging projects for buildings, skyscrapers and landscapes. His well-known large scale projects were Valley Curtain, Rifle, Colorado in 1972 and Running Fence, California, in 1976.
Bulgarian honey - magic of nature
A "divine elixir", a "magic of Nature" are words often used when talking of honey, yet they are never sufficient to convey the significance of all the advantages this kind of wonder-food contains. In the Ancient East people used honey not only for its nutritional qualities, but also as a universal remedy.

I've made my first novel, Ventus, available as a free download, as well as excerpts from two of the Virga books. I am looking forward to putting up a number of short stories in the near future.
To celebrate the August, 2007 publication of Queen of Candesce, I decided to re-release my first novel as an eBook. You can download it from this page. Ventus was first published by Tor Books in 2000, and and you can still buy it; to everyone who would just like to sample my work, I hope you enjoy this version.
I've released this book under a Creative Commons license, which means you can read it and distribute it freely, but not make derivative works or sell it.
I've made large tracts of these two Virga books available. If you want to find out what the Virga universe is all about, you can check it out here:
In spring 2005, the Directorate of Land Strategic Concepts of National Defense Canada (that is to say, the army) hired me to write a dramatized future military scenario. The book-length work, Crisis in Zefra, was set in a mythical African city-state, about 20 years in the future, and concerned a group of Canadian peacekeepers who are trying to ready the city for its first democratic vote while fighting an insurgency. The project ran to 27,000 words and was published by the army as a bound paperback book.
If you'd like to read Crisis in Zefra, you can download it in PDF form.
My latest "scenario fiction" for the Canadian military is out
Back in 2005, the Directorate of Land Strategic Concepts of National Defense Canada (that is to say, the army) hired me to write a short novel, which they named Crisis in Zefra, about future peacekeeping and the evolution of the military in the 21st century. Zefra did very well; you can learn more about it elsewhere on my site. In 2010, they commissioned a second project.
Crisis in Urlia is now published. You can read it online for free or download the PDF. Where Zefra concentrated on military evolution on the squad level, Urlia is about command-and-control, and includes a vision of a crowdsourced military that some might find downright shocking, as well as side forays into online nations and religions, post-agricultural food supplies, and 3d printed buildings.
These works view the future through a particular lens (that of the military) but include as broad (practically epic, in fact) synopsis as I could craft of all the changes facing humanity and our environment over the next thirty years or so. In terms of the rigour that went into them, they're probably my best science fiction.
--And references my work for the Canadian military
Over at io9, Andrew Liptak has written a well-considered article about the national differences in military-oriented science fiction--contrasting American SF with Canadian, British and other nations' takes on the future (or lack thereof) of war. He extensively references my 2005 short novel Crisis in Zefra, which I wrote for the Canadian military. Zefra has been widely read and commented on; it was even excerpted in Harper's magazine. Liptak praises Zefra for presenting something different from the American perspective on war, by describing a multi-stakeholder peace-keeping mission without any of the 'winner takes all' characteristics of U.S. triumphalism.
To say that I'm ambivalent about war would be a huge understatement; I come from a Mennonite background, after all (you do the math). Nonetheless, while my attitudes definitely played into Zefra, the document is ultimately a reflection of Canadian military doctrine and forward thinking.
Yes, we think differently up here; and we wage war differently, too.
I'm a member of the Association of Professional Futurists with my own consultancy, and am also currently Chair of the Canadian node of the Millennium Project, a private/public foresight consultancy active in 50 nations. As well, I am an award-winning author with ten published novels translated into as many languages. I write, give talks, and conduct workshops on numerous topics related to the future, including:

I use Science Fiction to communicate the results of actual futures studies. Some of my recent research relates to how we'll govern ourselves in the future. I've worked with a few clients on this and published some results.
Here are two examples--and you can read the first for free:
The Canadian army commissioned me to write Crisis in Urlia, a fictionalized study of the future of military command-and-control. You can download a PDF of the book here:
For the "optimistic Science Fiction" anthology Hieroglyph, I wrote "Degrees of Freedom," set in Haida Gwaii. "Degrees of Freedom" is about an attempt to develop new governing systems by Canadian First Nations people.
I'm continuing to research this exciting area and would be happy to share my findings.
"Science fiction at its best."
--Kim Stanley Robinson
"Lean and hugely engaging ... and highly recommended."
--Open Letters Monthly, an Arts and Literature Review
(Sun of Suns and Queen of Candesce are combined in Cities of the Air)
"An adventure-filled tale of sword
fights and naval battles... the real fun of this coming-of-age tale includes a
pirate treasure hunt and grand scale naval invasions set in the cold, far
reaches of space. "
—Kirkus Reviews (listed in top 10 SF novels for 2006)
"With Queen of Candesce, [Schroeder] has achieved a clockwork balance of deftly paced adventure and humour, set against an intriguing and unique vision of humanity's far future.
--The Globe and Mail
"[Pirate Sun] is fun in the same league as the best SF ever has had to offer, fully as exciting and full of cool science as work from the golden age of SF, but with characterization and plot layering equal to the scrutiny of critical appraisers."
"...A rollicking good read... fun, bookish, and full of insane air battles"
"A grand flying-pirate-ship-chases-and-escapes-and-meetings-with-monsters adventure, and it ends not with a debate or a seminar but with a gigantic zero-gee battle around Candesce, a climactic unmasking and showdown, just desserts, and other satisfying stuff."
