During the week, I posted a picture on my Facebook page of a chart I like to do at the end of my second draft. It helps me see where the gaps are and what I need to work on in the next redraft. Unexpectedly, the picture attracted a flood of comments and requests for me to blog about how I use the chart and what I do when I'm redrafting a novel. So, here goes!
The Second Draft
I've blogged before about how my first drafts are a bit of a mess; I don't print out my first draft, I don't spell check. I even leave typos in as I'm writing because I don't know if the sentence or the word will stay in the story so there's no point in worrying about fixing it up until I know if it's staying.
Which means that one job I need to tackle in the second draft is tidying up the prose and smoothing out the mess. I also take a good month off writing after the first draft to do the bulk of the research. Then, all of that research info needs to be incorporated into the second draft. And, the book I'm currently working on, The French Photographer, just like next year's book—The Seamstress from Paris—is a dual narrative. That means I have a narrative of about 90,000 words set in the 1940s, plus a narrative of about 35,000 words set in contemporary times. Both narratives are interwoven together throughout the book.
So the biggest job is making sure those two narratives are woven together properly, which is where the chart comes into its own!
My "What is Known" Chart
The chart doesn't actually have a name so I'll call it the "What is Known" chart until I think of something catchier! My books are already divided into parts when they're written, but you can also use the chart for a book that doesn't have discrete parts. Just consider where there are natural breaks or parts in your story and use those.
Along the top of the chart I list all the parts in the book—Photographer has 10 parts, Seamstress has 12! Down the side, I have three rows:
- What is Known to the Reader
- What is Unknown to the Reader
- How Has the Character Changed?
Then, for each part, I fill in the info. For example, by the end of Part 1 in A Kiss from Mr Fitzgerald, the reader knows that Evie has been accepted into medical school, that she has a job in the Ziegfeld Follies, that she has feelings for Thomas, that her mother and father won't speak to her, that Charlie is a very nasty piece of work etc.
Things the reader doesn't know include: what medical school will be like for Evie, what working at the Follies will be like, how Thomas and Evie might feel about one another when he returns from London etc. So the list of known/unknown things relates to the main plot and each of the subplots.
There needs to be a good balance between What is Known and What is Unknown: if too much is known, then there is no narrative tension, no unanswered questions that the reader wants to keep reading in order to discover the answers to. If not enough is known, then the reader will be confused, uncertain about which story events are the most important, will feel lost and not engaged in the world of the story.
Of course it's not possible to say that you should have x number of known events and x number of unknown events because no story works like that! But putting it all down into a chart means you can see exactly how much you've given away and how much you still have left to reveal.
How it Works For Me
Because I'm writing a parallel narrative, each narrative needs to echo the other. The characters in one narrative are related or tied to the characters in the other narrative but how they are relate or are tied isn't clear to the reader. I have to drop clues in one narrative thread that are then picked up on in the other narrative thread so the reader can start putting together the pieces of the puzzle. If the threads don't have those echoes or motifs or clues then it will read like two disjointed stories.
So my chart helps me to see how the threads are unravelled and how they lead, hopefully with an element of surprise but not of absolute disbelief, to the final reveal.
But it also helps me to see how each subplot is or isn't working well enough. For instance, in The French Photographer, as in all good stories, there is a villain. I had a sense that I hadn't used the villain enough, that I could get more narrative tension if I let his threat hang more heavily over my main character. But it wasn't until I put everything on the chart that I could see how the villain subplot unravelled and where exactly were the opportunities for him to have more of a role and for his subplot to be strengthened.
Now, in the third draft, I'll go back in and fix that subplot and I've noted on my chart exactly what I need to do in each part of the book to make it work better.
I might leave it there, otherwise I could go on for pages! I hope that makes some sense and explains a little bit about what a writer might do when redrafting a novel. Of course there's a whole lot more but I might save that for another blog! If you have questions though, please ask away as questions are always great for helping me come up with new blog posts!

people in the world. It appears from Scripture this has always been their character. One may say of them in all ages that which David did, They bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly. .
How noble the expressions as well as the postures of Eastern salutation ! but how unhappy that the tongue and the heart are at such variance ! This account, however, explains the ground on which the Scriptures so often call the salutations and farewells of the East by the term blessing.
Sometimes the Inferior mentions himself before the
Person he intends to honour.
Full of reverence as the Eastern addresses are, and especially of those to the great, in some points they are not so scrupulous as we are in the West. An inferior's mentioning himself before he names his superior is an instance of this kind.
Every body knows in how odious a light Cardinal Wolsey's naming himself before his king, Ego et Rex meus, appeared in England, in the sixteenth century. It was thought the most consummate arrogance; nevertheless Sir J. Chardin assures us it is customary among the
Persians, for the speaker to name himself first.
He mentions this in one of his MSS. as illustrating 1 Sam. xxiv. 12. The LORD judge between me and thee. David spoke after this, manner to Saul, and that when he treated that prince with great reverence: David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself, says the eighth verse. Gen. xxiii. 15, compared with verse 6, is another instance of it. David's mentioning himself first therefore, when speaking to Saul, marks out no insolence in him ; it was on the contrary perfectly agreeable to the modern ceremonial of Eastern courts, at least to that of Persia.
Prostrations, and kissing the Feet sometimes practised
in the East.
I HAVE been supposing that the falling down at a person's feet signifies kissing his feet, which, according to Dr. Shaw, is a way of expressing respect among the present Arabs; but I am not sure that this is perfectly exact : there is an Eastern way of complimenting, not precisely the same, though very near akin to it, which very possibly may be referred to in some of those passages I mentioned. But if it should, it makes no alteration of importance : accuracy, how
ever, requires me to take notice of it. What is more, it is necessary to the explaining some other passages.
Pabous uwyol is a Persian word, which signifies kissing the fect, a cereinony very ancient in Persia, for it was instituted by its first king, as a mark, not only of the reverence to be paid kings by their subjects, but of the taking the oath of fidelity and homage by vassal or feudatory princes to their sovereigns. This ceremony was afterwards changed as to subjects of lower rank, into kissing the ground in the presence of their princes : this the Persians in their language call, 0-4; $9, Rouee zomeen, which signifies the face to the earth; and that of kissing the feet was reserved for strangers, and subjects of the highest quality.
It seems however that this limited use of kissing the ground, which d'Herbelot speaks of, did not always continue, since he tells us, that Mohammed Kothbeddin, the Khouarezmian, who succeeded his father in the year of our Lord 1199, was installed in the throne of his ancestors by his great lords, who took the oath of fidelity to him, and paid him due homage. This ceremony was called in the Persian language, which the Khouarezmians made use of,
روی زمین ,and Toutee taneen بوس زمین ,b00s 1emteel
دادن e To these forms may be added
dumen boos daden, to kiss the hem of the garment; a custom also among the Persians.-From the Persian moun boos, probably our buss, a kiss, is derived.. Edit.
that is, kissing the earth, and the face to the earth; because, according to the ancient Persian custom, which continues to this day, homage was paid to their sovereign by kissing the earth, . or touching it with their foreheads in their presence..
I will not attempt to cite every passage of d'Herbelot which makes mention of this ceremony; but I must by no means omit a very remarkable account relating to it,' in which he describes the behaviour of an Eastern prince toward his conqueror. This prince, he says, threw himself one day on the ground, and kissed the prints that his victorious enemy's horse had made there, reciting some verses in Persian which he had composed, to this effect: • The mark that the foot of your horse has
left upon the dust, serves me now for a
crown. " The ring which I wear as the badge of my
slavery, is become my richest ornament. " While I shall have the happiness to kiss
the dust of your feet, I shall think that fortune favours me with its tenderest, ca
resses, and its sweetest kisses." This flattery, was so well received by the conqueror, who was a very vain-glorious prince, and fond of adulation, that from that time forward he would always have the unfortunate prince near him ; and he so well improved that favourable circumstance as at length to obtain
his liberty, and a little after his entire re-establishment.
We may see, I think, in these fragments of oriental history, that kissing the feet and lying prostrate in the dust before a person, are not merely expressions of reverence, but also, which is not so well known, of vassalage; and kissing the earth, of the most abject vassalage, sometimes arising from the low rank of those that paid the homage, and sometimes arising from dejection and adulation.
When then the Psalmist says, Ps. lxxï 8, 9, He shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the end of the earth; he marks out extent of empire; when he adds, they that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him, it would be extremely wrong to suppose, he is only specifying one particular part of that extensive authority he had before expressed in general terms, for he greatly enlarges the thought, it is equivalent to saying, " the wild Arabs, that the greatest conqueror could never tame, shall bow before him, or become his vassals;" nay, his enemies, and consequentlythese Arabs, among the rest," shall lick the dust," or court him with the most abject submissions.
Conquered princes themselves, we see in d'Herbelot, have actually prostrated themselves in the dust before their victors : and therefore the expressions of Isaiah, ch. xlix. 23, Kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their Queens thy nursing mothers : they shall bow down to

"I owe my life to Butterfly"
Saturday 15 October 2011
From UK newspaper the Blackpool Gazette:
DAWN Poleon feels Blackpool-based charity The Butterfly Group saved her life.
The mum-of-two, from Layton, has suffered from fybromylgia and chronic fatigue syndrome for around 15 years.
She was not diagnosed until about eight years ago, after her new GP referred her to the hospital for tests.
At her lowest point, the conditions – which have left her unable to walk very far and stand for long, having to use crutches and cause her a great deal of pain – resulted in Dawn contemplating suicide.
She said: "It was a huge relief to get the diagnosis as I had been feeling like a hypochondriac – I was having all this pain, but they couldn't find anything wrong with me.
"So knowing what it was finally was a relief.
"But I have Achilles tendonitis in both legs, plantar fasciitis in both feet, trochanteric bursitis in both hips, it is difficult for me to walk. I use crutches and also have a mobility scooter, which helps me get around.
"If I am really fatigued, then I have to use the wheelchair or just not go out.
"Even little things like standing to cook, I can't do, as I can't stand for long. Or grip a pan full of mashed potato. It's hard to bathe myself.
"But my two beautiful daughters and my husband Steve were all wonderfully supportive.
"I did get very depressed and I even started to contemplate suicide, I felt like I was good for nothing and of no use – not living, just existing – but my husband coaxed me out of it, and showed what I did have and how much my girls meant to me. I would get panic attacks, I became agoraphobic, I was in my mid-30s and walking on crutches, my lowest ebb was probably around December 2009."
But it was after walking into the Butterfly Group shop, on Deansgate, Blackpool, her life turned around.
"It was just after Christmas and we were shopping in the town centre when we saw the Butterfly Group. My husband convinced me to go in. I was very shy and very nervous. But Tina was lovely, I told her all about my symptoms and my condition and she gave me a hug and said 'hugs are always free' – I just burst into tears.
"I started going once a week and it just helped so much to talk about it, to people who understood.
"My confidence started to grow, and I began volunteering and going in more, and now I am on the committee of trustees.
"The charity saved my life. It gave my daughters their mum back and it gave me a whole new lease of life. Physically I still have the same problems, but mentally and emotionally I am a lot better. It keeps my mind active and the charity really does help its beneficiaries."
Dawn will be joining the charity's founder Tina Lukacs, along with other supporters, at the Butterfly Group's first fund-raising ball, on Friday, October 21.
The event, which starts at 7pm, will take place at the Imperial Hotel, Blackpool, and features entertainment from Britain's Got Talent finalists Damon Scott and Bubbles, dance group Signature and music from DJ Stuart Holt. There is a red and green theme to the dress-code at the ball, which will include a four-course meal.
Sponsors of the event include Blackpool's Che Bar, West Coast Hire and Events, Roof Teach Warranties and Blackpool BID.
Dawn added: "We all can't wait for the ball now. All the money raised on the night will go to the charity and supporting the beneficiaries.
"It's going to be a great night and it's for an extremely good cause."
For more details about the Butterfly Group or to buy a ticket for the ball, call (01253) 299990 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The rock icons are bringing their critically-acclaimed Eagles' World Tour to Auckland and Dunedin in February and March 2019, presented by Frontier Touring and proudly supported by RadioLIVE.
The band's prolific career is celebrated in an extensive set list that pulls from all seven of the Eagles' studio albums.
After losing the unforgettable Glenn Frey, it was hard to imagine the legendary band could carry on. However, Frey's son Deacon and country music star, Vince Gill, joined Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit last year – and many believe the band has been reborn.
The Eagles will also be accompanied on stage by an incredible live band that includes a full horn and string section. Tickets go on sale Monday 15 October.
They haven't been here since 2015 – so don't miss the opportunity to witness one of the world's greatest rock bands when they return.

The big game this year definitely had some noteworthy commercials. Take a look at my top picks for the ads aired during the Super Bowl and read what I had to say. Written by Juliet Rocco
The Super Bowl means two things to me: food and advertisements. I feel this way about commercials all year round, but this is the one day when I see my friends and family equally as excited to watch them. As a New Jersey native, it would have been sacrilegious not to watch the Giants take on the Patriots. I don't usually care much about football, but the last 4 minutes of the 4th quarter were nail-biters for me!
Big numbers: For advertisers, this is their biggest nail-biting day as well. Companies dropped a cool $3.5 million for just 30 seconds of air time (think about how strategically they must plan around trips to the kitchen and bathroom, too!). Last year, over 163 million people tuned in for at least part of the game (that's about half the total American population), making it the most watched televised event in American history.
Overall, I wasn't wowed by most of the ads this year, but there definitely were a few standouts as I've listed my personal favorites below. You can also go to YouTube's Ad Blitz 2012 Channel to watch all of the ads aired during the game.
Budweiser: A classic time capsule of big moments in American History. I wasn't sure how I felt at first about listening to Flo Rida in the background with the Prohibition ending, but it all came together seamlessly in the end. Marketers have been riding the nostalgia wave for the past couple of years in advertising and especially in the Super Bowl.
M&M's: I really enjoyed this ad, obviously targeted at my age group in the young adult demographic. Pairing chocolate and the band LMFAO's latest hit "Sexy and I Know It" was perfect.
Bud Light: Dogs seemed to be a popular alternative to celebrities this year. This dog was not only adorable, but Anheuser-Busch also made sure PETA wouldn't go after them for their "slave dog" antics and had a nice link to their Facebook page to help out rescue dogs. Corporate social responsibility is key!
Chevy: Cars jumping out of airplanes before I even get a chance? This ad made my jaw simply drop. It definitely caught my attention and kept me more interested in watching what happened next rather than getting up to go eat more.
CareerBuilder: This poor man in the ad is a perfect example of what millions of Americans at dead-end jobs are going through every day. Plus, the chimps are great actors. Someone needs to nominate these guys for something!
Volkswagen: Return of…the dog? Yes, another dog was the star of the commercials in Volkswagen's latest ad. I really enjoyed how they tied in last year's Darth Vader at the end. It resonated well with fans of both the old and new.
Honda: Did you really think I would forget about this one? Of course not! Once again, bringing back a classic movie like Ferris Bueller's Day Off and putting a modern twist was really fun and refreshing to see. I'd really like to see Honda do more ads like these with different movies.

College of Winterhold Quest: The Staff of Magnus
Did we miss anything in this section? Is there something we didn't discover?
Let us know!
You'll receive this quest at the conclusion of the quest
This quest will take you to Labyrinthian, where you'll need to track down the
Staff of Magnus
. You'll find Labyrinthian far to the west of the college, almost directly in between Morthal and Whiterun. When you reach Labyrinthian you'll probably have to defeat a few ice trolls and maybe a dragon, but you'll find the entrance a ways to the west of the map symbol for the location.
Note: In roughly the center of the outside portion of Labyrinthian, you'll find a round barrow with a
Wooden Mask
inside (on the ground next to a skeleton). If you put the mask on while you're inside the barrow, then you'll be transported to the Bromjunaar Sanctuary, where you'll find a setting for the eight dragon priest masks (such as
, found at #11). If you put all eight dragon priest masks on the setting, then you'll receive the mask
. To leave the sanctuary, you'll just need to take off the
Wooden Mask
Another Note: When you reach the entrance to Labyrinthian, you'll witness a vision of the past, where Aren and five other college students will enter the ruins in search of glory and riches. You'll have more of these visions as you explore the interior, and you'll quickly find out that the trip didn't go very well for the students. You'll also hear a voice that will seem to know who Aren is (and will annoyingly absorb all of your magicka each time it speaks). This earlier visit to the ruins is why Aren had the
Torc of Labyrinthian
Inside Labyrinthian, you'll almost immediately enter a large chamber filled with skeletons and a skeletal dragon (#2). The skeletons should be easy enough to kill, but the dragon might cause you some problems depending on your level. If you have trouble with the dragon, then your best bet is to hide behind one of the columns in the chamber. As long as a column is between you and the dragon, the dragon won't be able to breathe on you, and you'll have time to catch your breath and heal. You can also try to shoot the dragon and the skeletons through the entrance tunnel. The skeletons might charge at you, but the dragon won't be able to fit into the tunnel.
Past the skeletal dragon, you'll encounter skeletons, draugr, wisps and even some trolls as you make your way through the Chasm and the Thoroughfare to arrive at the Tribune. Inside the Tribune, you'll first encounter a draugr deathlord (#10), and then you'll run into the dragon priest Morokei (#11), the entity that kept talking to you during your time in Labyrinthian.
Morokei will start out protected by a magical barrier. To remove the barrier, you'll need to defeat the two enthralled wizards who are maintaining it. However, once free, Morokei will attack you. He's a spellcaster, so he'll try to stay away from you and hit you with lightning spells. If you have a good shock (or magic) resistance, then the battle shouldn't be too tough. Otherwise, you'll probably need a few healing potions to survive. When Morokei dies, he'll drop the
Staff of Magnus
plus the mask
As you head towards the exit from Labyrinthian (Exit D), you'll run into Estormo, an associate of Ancano's. He'll ambush you and try to confiscate the staff, but he's basically an easier version of Morokei, and so you shouldn't have too much trouble with him. Estormo won't drop much of interest when he dies.
Outside Labyrinthian, when you attempt to fast travel to the college, you'll find that its map symbol is no longer there, and so you'll have to fast travel to Winterhold instead. Then when you approach the college, you'll discover that it is being attacked by more of the magic anomalies that you faced during the quest
, and that Ancano has extended his magical barrier all the way out to the bridge.
On the bridge you'll meet up with Tolfdir, Faralda, and Arniel Gane. Tolfdir will inform you that Mirabelle died while you were gone, and he'll ask you to use the
Staff of Magnus
(which absorbs magic) to defeat Ancano's barrier. This conversation will end the current quest and trigger the final quest in the line,
The Eye of Magnus
1 - Spell Tome
On the table here you'll find a random spell tome.
2 - Skeletal Dragon
3 - Frozen Door
To open this door (#3), you'll need to hit it with a fire spell. Just in case you need it, you can find a
Spell Tome: Flames
on a pedestal to the south (#3a).
4 - Lab
In this room you'll discover an alchemy lab and an arcane enchanter, plus the skeleton of a dead mage. On the table with the arcane enchanter, you'll find a
Spell Tome: Equilibrium
5 - Fiery Door
To open this door you'll need to cast a frost spell on it. Conveniently, you'll find two
Scrolls of Ice Spike
and a
Spell Tome: Frostbite
right next to the door.
6 - Spiral Staircase
Past the staircase you'll start encountering spectral draugr, which will drop
Drainblood Battleaxes
Drainheart Swords
, and
Drainspell Bows
when you kill them.
7 - Spell Tome
On the pedestal here you'll find a
Spell Tome: Steadfast Ward
8 - Traps
In this hallway you'll encounter a few fire and frost traps. To disarm them, you'll just need to take (or otherwise dislodge) the soul gems that are powering them.
9 - Locked Room
Inside this room you'll find an
Ancient Helmet of the Unburned
, an enchanted greatsword, and more.
10 - Deathlord / Word Wall
In this room you'll encounter a spectral draugr deathlord. Behind him, you'll find a word wall that will unlock the word of power "Time, Slow Time" when you get close to it.
11 - Morokei
12 - Estormo
Doorway between Labyrinthian and the Chasm.
Doorway between the Chasm and the Thoroughfare.
Doorway between the Thoroughfare and the Tribune.
Exit from Labyrinthian.
World exit.

Did you know the answer? A latch hook is usually used for making rag rugs or hooked rugs. It is slightly similar to a traditional crochet hook but it a latch to hold the yarn when a loop is pulled through. Have you ever made a rug using a latch hook?
I enjoy teaching beginners how to crochet with a latch hook as opposed to a traditional crochet hook because I believe that it is easier.
I tell children that it is like having their own little machine. I also mention how knitting machines work with rows of similar latch hooks and that is how machine made knitted jumpers and cardigans are made.
Giving a child a latch hook is in itself motivating. But seeing the resulting chain appear is a fascinating experience and as they succeed they often become absorbed in the process. Adults do too, as not a lot of folks have used a latch hook and for those who have, it sparks off memories of making rag rugs!!
A short chain length will make a simple plain bracelet. A longer chain length will make a necklace.
Traditionally beginners would go on to make repeated rows and rows of traditional stitches, however the next step I teach is to make the same chain length bracelet with fancy yarns. There are so many available nowadays
I also go on to teach a different set of basic stitches which have been chosen for ease of use with a latch hook. These are chain stitch , slip stitch, bullion stitch, Tunisian stitch, and later puff stitch.

"What's the point? Why try? I fail so often, I might as well give in and sin all the way. I'll never conquer this thing."
You are just where God wants you to be… utterly powerless and solely dependent on Jesus for the healing you need. The power of Christ is most readily available at the point of your greatest weakness. If it were any other way, you would not need God. As it is, you are desperate for a God who cares.
There is a HUGE difference between surrender and resignation.
Judas suffered from the guilt and shame of betraying Jesus and resigned himself to the fate he knew he deserved. Taking matters into his own hands, he continued down the path leading to his eternal demise. Judas was a proud man who fell and fell hard.
Peter deeply felt the same burden of guilt and shame when he denied Christ. Forced to his knees, Peter surrendered to the admission of his own powerlessness, flinging himself upon the mercy of a God who cares. Peter fell but got up again, and again, and again…
You are not Judas. You are Peter and upon the rock of your humble surrender to the mighty grace of God, Jesus will build His church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Find the strength you need. Pick up your Bible and immerse yourself in His Word of hope…
2nd Corinthians 12.9
Proverbs 16.18

Proverbs 24.16
Mark 14.66-72

My fiancé is mad at me. Am I wrong?
My fiancé mom is a lovely women but she sometimes is hard to deal with. Being slightly over bearing. So today I was going to leave to visit my mom for a week and my fiancé said I delayed leaving because I don't want to leave because I miss being up there with them. I told him I'm going to miss you( him) he was like mmhmm and I said I'm going to miss you. He laughed and walked away then after that he left the room and was reading his book he then start yelling at me saying I was being disrespectful because I said I only was going to miss you. I honestly didn't mean it like that but now he's really angry with me.

So your fiance has gone 'into one' at you because you told him you'd miss him but you didn't actually say you were going to miss his mother? His pet dog? His father? His neighbour over the fence? If this is the case and he gets so uppity about something that you have said lovingly towards him......he's picked holes in your sentiment of missing him because you didn't go far enough and say you'd miss the house, the bricks his mother etc etc....then I would seriously consider remaining with your mother and leaving your snotty fiance with his overbearing mother. What are you? Some sort of slave to him? I think what he said to you - the yelling and whatnot afterwards - was DELIBERATELY cruel. He meant to upset you and used his mother as a weapon against you. I bet he's annoyed because you were looking forward to seeing your own mother again. He's jealous and sounds rather controlling. Stay longer at your mothers and tell him you are having second thoughts about him as a fiance. He was deliberately cruel and that really is just NOT on is it. He's spoiled you little holiday already and you haven't even departed yet. The more I think about it the more I feel he's a rotten so-and-so and I'm sure you can do better than him.

The comment you awarded "favorite answer" is a pretty accurate answer of what you should do, however, I think you might want to talk it over with him first. After all its a big decision in your life and making any harsh decisions could be bad. If you talk it out with him I'm sure he'll show what kind of person he is, good or bad. Anyway, its your decision, not mine.

So where does his "slightly overbearing" mother come into the story? I didn't see her anywhere.
In fact it's hard to understand any of the story.

This guy is mad about that ? Are you kidding? I hope your not living with him. Sounds like he is very controlling person. Get out the the relationship now. Run, don't walk !!

This new Buffet Légende clarinet is the result of multiple new manufacturing developments in methodology and touts the same virtues as its high-end counterparts, including:
The Légende will surprise players with its accurate pitch and immediate response. Its precise and centered tone, characteristic of this new bore concept, brings out a whole spectrum of sound, encompassing the brightest to softest of colouring.
Its intuitive handling allows the musician the utmost freedom of musical and acoustical expression. Its precise and reliable play is ideal for clarinet players with very eclectic demands.

I get the vibe that they're very different girls. Like stereotypical older/conservative sister and a younger/look-at-me sister. Like they have super different styles and generally take super different roles. I don't buy that they would compete hard against each otherView attachment 16360
Maybe not but she definitely looks slimmer than Dakota these days. Her legs are definitely her problem area and need some definition but she looks better than most actresses these days.

Women are paid almost half the wages compared to their male counterparts, according to International Labour Organisation (ILO) report.
"In Nepal, male-female inequality in wages is among the highest (40.5 per cent) but among the lowest when it comes to labour force participation (7.4 percentage points)," said the Asia-Pacific Labour Market Update published by the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific today.
Whereas in Sri Lanka, the situation seems reversed; although the wage gap is relatively low at 10.7 per cent, the difference in male-female labour force participation rates is a striking 34 percentage points.
Progress on tackling persistent gender equalities must also not be lost, it daid, adding that the region's informal economy remains massive. Extending affordable social protection can help create resilience, reduce poverty, boost domestic consumption and strengthen social stability, while preparing for tomorrow's ageing workforce.
The region must not lose the economic and social gains it has made, it said,"Policy makers must base their strategies to reinvigorate economic growth on job creation, social inclusion and better regional integration."
Young people require particular attention; youth unemployment is disproportionately high, yet renewed economic growth will depend on their skills, drive and talent for innovation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the region's main engine of job creation and it will be critical to unlock their potential with properly designed finance and support services.
Green jobs and industries are one area of opportunity – leveraging the shift towards a low-carbon, sustainable development path.
The report revelaed that the quality of jobs is also tied to wages and earnings, and strong labour market institutions are critical to this end. Among a sample of Asian developing countries where data are available, annual average real wage growth lagged behind productivity growth in a majority during the past decade, the report said.
"Decent work therefore sums up the aspirations all people have for their working lives; for work that is productive, delivers a fair income with security and social protection, safeguards basic rights, offers equality of opportunity and treatment, prospects for personal development and the chance for recognition and to have your voice heard," it said, adding that decent work is also central to efforts to reduce poverty and is a path to achieving equitable, inclusive and sustainable development.
Respect for rights and constructive dialogue — between government, workers and employers — must be supported with the same diligence as maintaining low inflation, balanced public finances and other macroeconomic goals.
Quality employment, underpinned by productivity growth, fair wages and decent working conditions, determines the quality of lives and societies and is key to Asia's future growth and prosperity.
The policy-makers from governments, employers' and workers' organisations have an opportunity to brainstorm on the issues during the ILO 15th Asia and the Pacific regional meeting which is taking place in Kyoto, Japan, on December 4-7.
Delegations from more than 40 member States, from Asia, the Pacific and the Arab States of West Asia, will discuss ways of creating a more balanced, just, sustainable future for the world of work.
Ultimately decent work underpins peace and security in communities and societies. 'Decent Work for All' is therefore the principle that guides the ILO's work. To promote the goal the ILO's Asia Pacific members have committed themselves to an Asian Decent Work Decade (2006-2015), and in doing so reaffirmed their commitment to achieving full, productive and decent employment for all their people by 2015.
However, the global outlook is increasingly uncertain. Asia will not be immune from turbulence and weak demand. While the region's economic performance remains positive – in some countries impressively so – there are signs of slowing growth, with economic and social vulnerabilities appearing in both industrialised and developing Asia.

Am I A Robot? Because I Have No Idea What This CAPTCHA Says
Do androids solve human CAPTCHAs?
You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and have to solve a CAPTCHA.
The ubiquitous authentication method is meant to distinguish real live humans from bots trying to overload a form on a website. It is always annoying, but never in my experience has it been genuinely baffling. Until today.
I got eyeglasses to deal with myopia two years and since then I fear that my overall eyesight has only gotten worse. Today at work I had to authenticate myself to send a message to a company when I saw this.
Even though my initial thought was that the image showed "exe11i," I wasn't at all sure. I asked my coworkers. While they couldn't agree with each other, they all thought I was wrong.
One suggested "xevui, " while two others put forward "xevnr" and "exvur" respectively. At best, this showed we all had varying degrees of poor vision that was no match for a nasty CAPTCHA, at worst it confirmed that the majority of us were not human.
Instead we are like Rachael in Blade Runner, human-seeming androids who had been able to pass simple tests but end up revealing our artificial natures under closer examination.
We reached no definitive conclusion about the CAPTCHA, but instead were left with a nagging feeling that our apprehension of reality is deficient.
The consensus was it said "xevur" — I entered that and was rejected. A new CAPTCHA appeared, the old one disappeared forever and we'll never know what the right answer was.
For what it's worth, even my attempt at the subsequent image failed.
Finally after a third try, I passed. But that might have just been one machine taking pity on another.

Have you ever had a problem thinking up a perfect gift for the person you know who spends most of their waking hours at a computer? Perhaps your favorite artist's birthday is coming up and you are trying to think of a new and unique present that can be enjoyed while creating the next design for a new home or art show. Or maybe your budding writer is preparing to celebrate the first publishing of what is hoped to be a novel that will capture public attention and interest. In any case, you might want to send them a unique present of congratulations and recognition, but also something he or she can enjoy even when they are working hard in their studio or at their computer station.
That is the occasion when you can take advantage of a gift giving service from your local neighborhood, or use the services offered by a cheryl's coupon to order the best gifts that are delivered as congratulations. You can send flowers, candy, cookies, and similar gifts that will show that their accomplishment is recognized as a great step forward in their career as creative artist or designer. Even a nerdy computer geek can appreciate recognition that accompanies a present enjoyed while moving the mouse about to produce the perfect image desired for the next show. And writers are always stopping to think and have a snack while trying to come up with that perfect combination of words or phrases to capture the attention of their audience. Using a Groupon coupon or promo code can enable you to obtain a superb present of cookies or cakes from Cheryl's at a discount of 20% for a birthday present. Other promo codes can enable you to get nearly 50% discounts on purchases of cookies or cakes including Mrs. Beasley's gift baskets.
Such a present can be the perfect way to reward an artist at a preliminary showing or poetry reading. The advantage of using a service is that you don't have to worry about the details of making sure the gift is received. Leave all that to the service while you continue to run your business or look after other affairs.

Moving towards an accessible future
At the Telford Steam Railway we are busy making our attraction accessible for all. We are currently working on renovating a new coach which will allow us to provide wheelchair users easy access to ride on our services. We are hopeful of having this ready to enter service in time for our 2020 running season. Unfortunately our current fleet of heritage coaches do not have any wheelchair access due to the way they were constructed over 45yrs ago.
Accessible Areas & Toilets
Our main station at Spring Village, the Ticket Office & Gift Shop are all easily accessible by wheelchair.
An 'Easy Access' toilet is located by the tram in the yard behind the engine shed.
Access to Horsehay & Dawley station is down a very steep, paved, ramp from road level.
Access to Railway House which includes the Model Railway and Furnaces Tearoom are at road level.
Accessible Parking
Our main carpark is flat and accessible. We can also accommodate a limited number of vehicles next to our Tearooms and Model Railway.

| 10.5°C Dublin
A man is suing Etihad Airways over claims he suffered a back injury after being seated next to an overweight passenger in economy class.
James Bassos was on a flight from Sydney to Dubai in 2011 when he was forced to "contort and twist" his body to avoid contact with a "very large" passenger who had encroached upon his seat, according to papers filed with the District Court of Queensland, Australia on July 29.
The court papers also alleged that Mr Bassos' fellow passenger "frequently coughed and expelled fluid from his mouth".
It added: "After repeated requests of cabin crew, Mr Bassos was given limited access to a crew seat, but was still required to spend long stretches of time in a position which he claims caused a back injury and aggravation of an existing back condition."
Mr Bassos is claiming damages for personal injuries.
Etihad has tried to have the case dismissed and argued that it is not unusual to be seated next to obese or coughing passengers.
However Judge Fleur Kingham refused to strike out the claim, adding that she was "not satisfied Mr Bassos had no real prospects of success and that there is no need for a trial of the claim. Accordingly, Etihad's application must fail."
Judge Kingham has ordered Mr Bassos to undergo a medical examination in Brisbane in December.
An Etihad Airways spokesman said: "It would be inappropriate to comment in detail on this case as legal proceedings are under way.
"Etihad Airways will continue to oppose the action and now that Mr Bassos will finally face a medical assessment in December 2015, as directed by court, we believe that the matter will proceed to an early conclusion.
"The safety and comfort of Etihad Airways' passengers and crew is of paramount importance and the airline has a zero tolerance policy towards unruly behavior."

A few decades ago, ultra-endurance events were only for the young and crazy, and seemed unthinkable for the middle age crowd.
However, over the past few years, it has become surprisingly common to find the 40-60 and even 70 year olds performing in ultra-endurance events like Ironman Triathlons. A few are even running 20 consecutive marathons and cycling the entire country – across mountains and deserts– on almost no sleep.
How and why do they do it? And what do these amazing feats tell us about the limits of the ageing body?
Is it because we've become smarter on how to push our bodies by training, eating properly, and using innovative technologies like Icebox to recovery?
Is this the new midlife crisis of us holding on to our youth?
I believe the human body is an amazing machine which remains trainable throughout its entire lifespan. Perhaps age also brings greater emotional intelligence, a trait which has been shown to help ultra-athletes deal with disappointments, setbacks and tough training conditions.
For decades, the midlife crisis has been a tired pop-culture story of men buying sports cars and having affairs with younger women in a desperate bid to feel young again. But increasingly, people are responding to the anxieties of middle age not by clinging to their expiring youth but by taking on challenges that once seemed to belong only to the young.
Maybe pushing the limits of what they're physically capable of through endurance, athletics and extreme fitness will make them feel young again.
"Today, almost a third of all triathlon participants in the United States are between the ages of 40 and 49, according to the U.S. Triathlon organization. The largest field of competitors at the 2017 New York Marathon was between the ages of 40 and 44.
In London in 2015, those 40–49 runners had faster overall times than the 20–29 year-olds. A research paper by Martin D. Hoffman and Kevin Fogard found that the average age of participants in 100-mile ultras was 44…"…quoted by Paul Flannery, who wrote the great article Extreme Athleticism is the New Midlife crisis.
Owning Icebox for the past 7 years has given me the honor of meeting many phenomenal athletes who aren't sponsored by Nike. They are middle aged athletes who do it for the love of the challenge, which creates a sense of compassion and gratitude for what their bodies can do.
If this is the new midlife crisis, I need to start my training!
Play hard and recovery smart!

Not only has Federal Way Public Schools received the required number of votes for the proposed $450 million school construction bond to count, the latest results indicate it has obtained the super-majority of yes votes for the measure to pass.
According to King County Elections general election results as of Monday afternoon, the school construction bond is passing with 13,883 votes in favor, or 61.96 percent, and 8,524 opposed, or 38.04 percent.
The $450 million school bond will update or replace aged and deteriorating buildings, overcrowding at elementary schools and increase safety and security district wide.
At a Citizens for Federal Way Public Schools gathering Nov. 7, district officials were feeling hopeful but a little uncertain after initial results indicated the bond had obtained more yes votes than no, voter turnout had not met the 21,301 threshold for the measure to become validated.
Superintendent Tammy Campbell said at the event, it was "a weird feeling" knowing at the end of election night the fate of the bond measure was still uncertain.
By Friday, however, the school district received two pieces of good news when not only did it meet the required number of votes for the measure to be validated, but it had received a super-majority of at least 60 percent of the votes returned in favor.
"We know schools can't do it alone," Campbell said in a press release issued after Friday's results. "The communities of Federal Way, Des Moines, Kent, Auburn and unincorporated King County have demonstrated their support of a bond which rebuilds, modernizes and expands some of our aging and overcrowded schools. Our district has a strategic plan with big, bold goals, metrics and strategies, and the successful passage of this bond positions us to continue building upon our successes. I want to thank each and every person for their support."
Board President Geoffery McAnalloy echoed Campbell's statements.
"The incredible support of our community illustrates the commitment they have to each and every scholar achieving at the highest levels PK-12 and beyond in Federal Way Public Schools," he said in the press release. "On behalf of the FWPS Board of Education, district and school administrators, teachers, support staff, scholar and families, we would like to extend our heart-felt gratitude to our entire community."
Campbell said Monday she anticipated the School Board would begin discussing the schedule for construction to begin at the various schools included in the bond at a work session Tuesday evening, prior to the regular board meeting.
The schools slated for improvements are Thomas Jefferson High School, Totem and Illahee middle schools, and Olympic View, Lake Grove, Mirror Lake, Star Lake and Wildwood elementary schools. Memorial Stadium is also set to receive some upgrades. With the successful passage of the bond, all state School Construction Assistance Program funds will address significant maintenance needs, such as roofs and boilers, security enhancements and the relocation of Mark Twain Elementary.
While the school district is currently in good position, King County Elections staff have an estimated 14,829 ballots left to count in King County. They are updating those results at around 4 p.m. each day. The votes will not be certified until Nov. 28.
