Announcement: Delay, my new novels can be seen on the internet, but the publisher has delayed all their fiction output due to the economy. I'll keep you informed. More information can be found at www.ancientlight.com. Check out my novels--I think you'll really enjoy them.
Introduction: I wrote the novel Aksinya: Enchantment and the Daemon. This was my 21st novel and through this blog, I gave you the entire novel in installments that included commentary on the writing. In the commentary, in addition to other general information on writing, I explained, how the novel was constructed, the metaphors and symbols in it, the writing techniques and tricks I used, and the way I built the scenes. You can look back through this blog and read the entire novel beginning with http://www.pilotlion.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-novel-part-3-girl-and-demon.html.
I'm using this novel as an example of how I produce, market, and eventually (we hope) get a novel published. I'll keep you informed along the way.
The four plus one basic rules I employ when writing:
1. Don't confuse your readers.
2. Entertain your readers.
3. Ground your readers in the writing.
4. Don't show (or tell) everything.
5. Immerse yourself in the world of your writing.
All novels have five discrete parts:
1. The initial scene (the beginning)
2. The rising action
3. The climax
4. The falling action
5. The dénouement
The theme statement of my 26th novel, working title, Shape, is this: Mrs. Lyons captures a shape-shifting girl in her pantry and rehabilitates her.
Here is the cover proposal for Lilly: Enchantment and the Computer. Lilly is my 24th novel.
|Cover Proposal
I'm an advocate of using the/a scene input/output method to drive the rising action--in fact, to write any novel.
Scene development:
1. Scene input (easy)
2. Scene output (a little harder)
3. Scene setting (basic stuff)
4. Creativity (creative elements of the scene)
5. Tension (development of creative elements to build excitement)
6. Release (climax of creative elements)
I can immediately discern three ways to invoke creativity:
1. History extrapolation
2. Technological extrapolation
3. Intellectual extrapolation
Creativity is like an extrapolation of what has been. It is a reflection of something new created with ties to the history, science, and logic (the intellect). Creativity requires consuming, thinking, and producing.
One of my blog readers posed these questions. I'll use the next few weeks to answer them.
3. Change, complexity of relationship, and relation to issues/theme
4. Evolving vs static character
5. Language and style
6. Verbal, gesture, action
7. Words employed
8. Sentence length
9. Complexity
10. Type of grammar
11. Diction
12. Field of reference or allusion
13. Tone
14. Mannerism suggest by speech
15. Style
16. Distinct manner of writing or speaking you employ, and why (like Pinter's style includes gaps, silences, non-sequitors, and fragments while Chekhov's includes 'apparent' inconclusiveness).
Moving on to 3. 3. Change, complexity of relationship, and relation to issues/theme
I'll repeat:
All novels have five discrete parts:
1. The initial scene (the beginning)
2. The rising action
3. The climax
4. The falling action
5. The dénouement
Third, I know what they look like and who they are. What do your characters look like? I gave an example yesterday of a minor secondary character. I used over 100 words to describe this character. Follow Arlo Guthrie's advice and use at least 300 words to describe major characters (places and things) and 100 words for minor characters (places and things).
How are they dressed? This is not a movie, a play, or a graphic novel where you must always dress your characters the same so your audience can identify them. In a novel, like real life, the clothing makes the person. What is your character wearing? Here is an example from my soon to be published novel, Sister of Light. This novel is included in The Ancient Light trilogy:
They were dressed in their best—Paul in his light blue cavalry lieutenant's dress uniform. He wore a thigh length coat with a tall stiff collar. The riding pants were loose and wide at the thighs, and a wide, dark blue stripe ran down the sides. Paul's mirror-polished boots reached almost to his knees. A broad belt was clasped at the center with two large silver rounds, and Paul's cavalry sword hung from it on a leather strap. Paul's many combat decorations, anchored by the coveted Légion d'honneur covered the left breast of his jacket. Lieutenant's epaulets rested on the shoulders, and a silver officer's band circled the end of the sleeves. His cap, now in Marcel's hand, was light grey with a top red stripe and a thin polished black leather bill.
Leora provided a striking vision in pale-blue silk. She wore a dress Paul had bought for her the day before. Although the gown came from a rack on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore, it flowed over her body as though its designer had only her in mind. The modestly slit hemline floated on air; it just kissed the top of her petite, high-heeled Arnoult slippers. A thin silken cord encircled her neck and allowed the teasing neckline to accentuate her gentle bosom. To complete the ensemble, she grasped a small gold colored clutch with three-quarter length gloves that matched the azure of her dress.
I describe what my characters are wearing, and this is the usual detail I use. My characters wear different clothing every day--this doesn't mean I describe their clothing changes every day, but when it supports the character revelation, plot, and/or theme I do. The point is this: your readers need to visualize your characters at least as well as you do. The revelation of a character requires this and showing gives this to your readers. Notice the narrative showing that tells you a lot about the characters, their finances, and the rush they took to furnish clothing for Leora. Even without a description of the "characters" you know a lot about the characters. You know a person by their clothing. Sorry, whether you like it or not, that is a pretense of human society.
Describe the character's external attributes. Describe their clothing. Next, give us another view...
More tomorrow.

In August 2010 I weighed 269 lbs and was horribly unhealthy. I was only 28 years old, but I was spending nearly every day in pain caused by my weight and unhealthy lifestyle. On August 22, 2010 I reached a breaking point and joined Weight Watchers. I had no idea at the time what a wild and amazing journey I was setting off on….
Over the course of the next year and a half I lost about 120 lbs and worked on completely changing my life. I embraced real food, physical activity, personal growth, and challenged myself.
Now I live a life completely different from where I once was. This blog is not only a place that holds a chronicle of who I used to be and the transformational journey I took, but is now a place for me to regularly reflect and share my thoughts on all things related to this journey and my life now. Sometimes I even share "recipes" for the yummy Paleo food I cook.
I live in Edmonton, Alberta with my husband and dog.

Clare and I love fresh oysters. Our favorites are usually Chinoteagues, which come from the Chesapeake Bay. However, we will eat any oysters that we can get our hands on. A while back, we went to Birch and Barley, a restaurant known -- along with the bar Churchkey on the second floor -- for its craft beers. However, we saw that there were fresh oysters on the menu. We ordered the oysters and they were served with a Bloody Mary mignonette. We went back to Birch and Barley and had the oysters again, only to have them served with a different mignonette. Both mignonettes were very good and it provided different flavors that worked well with the briny flavors of the oysters.
So, I decided to try my own hand at making a mignonette. This one differs from a traditional mignonette because I did not use any vinegar. The reason is that I felt the Champagne offered enough of a tart taste that the addition of vinegar would result in an off-taste. This mignonette is really simple to make. (Indeed, it takes longer to shuck the oysters than it does to make the recipe). For this recipe, we used Blue Point oysters, which are available at Whole Foods in Silver Spring, Maryland.
A Chef Bolek Original
Serves 2
One dozen oysters, any variety
1/2 peach, peeled and diced finely
1 scallion, diced finely
1/2 to 3/4 cup of Champagne
Make the mignonette first. Dice the peach finely and make sure to incorporate all of the peach, including the reddish part by the pit, which provides a little color for the mignonette. Mix in the scallions and the Champagne. Set aside.
Shuck the oysters. Rinse each oyster. Only use an oyster knife, which you can get at a grocery store, Williams & Sonoma or Sur La Table. Oysters have an opening in the back. Work the tip of the knife into that opening and begin to turn the knife to each side, working to loosen the top shell. Once you can get enough of the knife into the oyster, Begin to push down to lift up the shell. Once the top shell is separated, use the knife to make sure the oyster is separated from the top shell. Use the knife to separate the oyster from the rest of the shell. There is a muscle underneath the oyster that connects to the bottom part of the shell. Cut that muscle. Rinse the oyster if necessary.
Fill a bowl with crushed ice. Spoon the mignonette onto each oyster. Serve the oysters over the crushed ice.

An assessment of the education development track record of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government which completed four years in office at the Centre in May and is now readying for General Election 2019, seemed the apposite choice for the cover story of this anniversary issue of EducationWorld (estb.1999) which completes 19 years of uninterrupted publication this month. At the hustings and run-up to General Election 2014, the BJP led by its charismatic three-term Gujarat chief minister and prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi aroused great hope and expectations within the electorate fed up with ten years of the 17-party Congress-led United Progressive Alliance whose rule was defined by several huge corruption scandals — 2G telecom spectrum allotment, coal blocks mining awards, the Commonwealth Games construction scam, Air India jets purchases among others — followed by a year of drift, indecision and masterly inactivity.
The UPA government's record in education and human capital development was specially disappointing. During its first term in office (2004-2009), the focus of the government and Union HRD minister Arjun Singh was expansion of the affirmative action quota in higher education. Although this initiative driven by Singh's abortive prime ministerial ambitions was successful, the outcome is that except for the degrees and awards of a few top-ranked institutions of higher education, the certification of the overwhelming majority of the country's HEIs is highly devalued and unrespected by organised sector industry and business.
The main achievement of Kapil Sibal, Arjun Singh's successor in Shastri Bhavan, Delhi was to push the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 through Parliament. However s. 12 (1) (c) shifts part of the constitutional obligation of the State to provide free and compulsory education to all children in the 0-14 age group, upon private schools. Unsurprisingly, several provisions of the Act are still mired in litigation.
Against this backdrop, the track record of the BJP/NDA government over the past four years has been a patchwork of small successes and large failures. Fiery BJP spokesperson Smriti Irani, the coalition government's first choice for the office of Union HRD minister, proved a disaster. After Irani was shunted out of Shastri Bhavan in 2016 and former environment minister of state Prakash Javadekar was appointed her successor, some overdue education reforms have been initiated, particularly in higher education. But considerable time to reform K-12 education was lost after the HRD ministry rejected the report of the T.S.R. Subramanian Committee on the New Education Policy, 2016. The detailed cover story in our 19th Anniversary issue explains why the education development report card of the BJP/NDA government deserves a C grade at best.
There's much else in this anniversary issue of EW. Check out the unseemly drama being played out on the campuses of Allahabad University (estb. 1887) which is struggling to recover its past glory, as also our special anniversary essays, including one from Beijing.

Contact: Natalie Bell, Concerned Women for America, 202-488-7000 ext. 126
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 /Christian Newswire/ -- Concerned Women for America (CWA) and 59 other organizations sent a letter yesterday to every senator and representative asking them to suspend the more than $300 million in federal funding they send to Planned Parenthood each year. According to a 107-count complaint filed in Kansas' Johnson County District Court last week, Planned Parenthood purposefully performed illegal late term abortions in violation of Kansas state law and unlawfully falsified documents to conceal that fact.
CWA President Wendy Wright says it is time for abortion clinics to be held accountable. "One-third of Planned Parenthood's income comes from the government. Planned Parenthood takes our money and when accused of violating laws arrogantly insists that no one dare question them because they are doing it 'for the women.' Government officials have a duty to hold Planned Parenthood accountable when innocent lives die due to its skirting of regulations and laws. Our tax dollars should not go to organizations involved in illegal activities.
"This goes beyond being pro-life or pro-abortion. The rule of law applies to everyone, including abortionists."
Concerned Women for America is the nation's largest public policy women's organization.

Fresh news from the New York Auto Show: Subaru is bringing out a new STI sedan, and the wing is back! I'm glad that the WRX design crew likes ordering their late night 'zas from Pizza Hut. Had they not been constantly badgered by the script-reading order taker asking if they wanted to upgrade with a side of honey BBQ wings, they might never have been inspired to bring back the WRX wing. Thank you, Pizza Hut. You may clog our colons, but also inspire greatness.
The wing is not the only boss new feature on the 2011 Subaru WRX STI Sedan. Subaru tightened up the suspension and added a lighter set of 18″ wheels for even stickier steering over the 2010 STI. Plus, this is the first time in WRX history when both 5-door hatchback and 4-door sedan STI options are both available simultaneously—it's like having your cake and drifting over it at 90 mph, too.
When describing the body style of the 2011 Subaru WRX STI, Subaru is calling it "wide" and "low" (does that make you think of a crouching plumber, too?). It's the same kind of stance that rally racers strike, which would be really fitting were Subaru still competing in rally racing.
But, aside from its looks, the 2011 Subaru WRX STI packs some serious street-shredding power under its bonnet: a turbocharged, intercooled 4-cylinder Boxer motor screaming 305 high-boost horsepower. As for its tranny: a proper 6-speed manual gearbox. And, you can literally dial in your driving style through the integrated Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE).
So, how long do you have to wait before you can pick one up? Not too long. Subaru is planning to have them on the lots by summer. And, with a sticker price of just $35,000, this will be one of the most affordable high-performance rides around.

The fact is, if we compare the families of the settlers to those of people with similar qualities who live behind the Green Line, the settler families are much larger. Self-sacrifice in settling the Land strengthens one's life. Usually, in this world, this is manifested by an increase in the number of children and grandchildren, in Torah and mitzvot, in spiritual creativeness.
People die from accidents and illnesses, and from various self-destructive behaviors. Many of them can't find love and don't raise families. Global suffering is great. Someone who flees the nation's mission because of the dangers it entails usually finds himself faced with other, bigger and more difficult, dangers or risks.
Fortunate is the person whose suffering has value, for through these trials and tribulations he is purified and refined, and his life flows in its proper path.
Rabbi Eliezer Melamed is dean of Yeshiva Har Bracha (www.yhb.org.il), located in the Samarian mountains near Shechem.

Pankratov, Vasilii Semenovich
Pankratov, Vasilii Semenovich
Born Jan. 26 (Feb. 7), 1864, in the village of Alekseevskoe, now in Moscow Oblast; died Mar. 5, 1925, in Leningrad. Russian worker and revolutionary. Involved in the revolutionary movement from 1879.
A member of the workers' organization People's Will (Narod-naia volia) beginning in 1881, Pankratov conducted propaganda among the workers of St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev, and other cities. When arrested in Kiev on Mar. 4, 1884, he put up armed resistance. At the Trial of the Twelve, held in November 1884, he was sentenced to 20 years at hard labor. He spent 14 years in the Shlissel'burg Fortress and in 1898 was banished to Yakutia.
Pankratov escaped from exile in 1905 and joined the Socialist Revolutionary Party (SR's), participating in the December armed uprising in Moscow. He was again exiled to Yakutsk in 1907, returning to St. Petersburg in 1912. In July 1917 he published in the newspaper Zhivoe slovo an article slandering V. I. Lenin. Pankratov was commissar "for the protection of the former tsar" under the bourgeois Provisional Government.

Part of what we do is make sure that we are up to date on the online trends for social media, online marketing, and digital content creation! Recently, Clutch.co, came out with an article called, How Businesses Use Digital Marketing in 2018, and we wanted to share some of the key points they touched on – some of these trends will help you decide how to spend your 2018 digital marketing budget!
Cleaning a WordPress Site that has been Hacked
Recently, WordFence, an internet security plug-in used on WordPress sites, created a guide on what to do if your WordPress site has been hacked! Since, we use WordPress as our primary virus and malware protection software for all of our web development projects at Hilo Web Design – here are some tips for you on how to get your website back to normal if you feel you have been hacked.
1. Back Up Your Site Now
This is the most important thing we suggest to our clients. We run back ups of our hosted websites on a regular basis in the event that something does happen. Because of this, we can easily use programs like TimeMachine and turn back the "hands of time" on a website that has been hacked to a previously backed-up version!
This step is crucial in the event of a website being hacked. The adverse would be recreating all of the website pages individually which would take a lot of time, energy, and potentially money if youʻre not able to update the website yourself.
2. …
2018 Social Media Trends to Look For
At Hilo Web Design, we try to stay up to date on the current trends in web design, development and marketing. To do this we have to look at all areas of marketing, including online marketing, radio advertisements, print media, and email marketing. One of our main areas of interest is the aspect of social media marketing.
Learn more about what to expect in 2018!
Has Your Facebook Been Hacked?
With over two billion active monthly users, Facebook, has become one of the biggest sources of entertainment, news, and frustration on the internet! We were recently asked by a client if her account was hacked after she received several messages from friends saying they had received another friends request. After a little research, we came across an article by CNet "How to tell if your Facebook has been hacked (and what to do)."
Three Tips for Content Marketing and SEO
We offer a variety of services including Search Engine Optimization which is commonly known as "SEO". Part of that includes incorporating content marketing in an online marketing strategy to better improve search engine results. We recently read a comprehensive guide to content marketing and SEO by Clucth.co, called The Complete Guide to Content Marketing for SEO.
Hilo Web Design has MOVED!
Aloha and Hauʻoli Makahiki Hou! The team at Hilo Web Design would like to let you know that we have MOVED! AGAIN!
New FREE WooCommerce Extension for Credit Cards
One of the many services we provide at Hilo Web Design is setting up and helping maintain an Online Shopping Cart – for that we use WooCommerce. WooCommerce uses extensions (plug-ins) to add features such as payment gateways (accepting VISA, Mastercard, etc.), adding USPS shipping information, and product add-ons.
We have told you in the past about the difference between using an SSL Certification versus using a payment method like PayPal and the costs and issues assoicated with both. A NEW exetnsion has arrived that is used with those sites wtih and SSL Certification and is FREE! STRIPE: Accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and Diners Club cards directly on your store with the Stripe payment gateway for WooCommerce. The only thing that this system requires is a valid SSL certificate. This ensures your customer credit card details are safe! This plugin also uses Stripe JS to tokenize credit card numbers to make payments keeping card data secure. Stripe now works with refunds in WooCommerce 2.2+.

We are also happy to announce the addition of a new Design & Marketing employee.

Senior captain Dave Marquardt led the Prairie Fire to an encouraging debut last weekend at the Prairie Fire Invitational. Shooting a 71 for his first round, Marquardt carded the lone under-par round in the tournament and followed up with a solid Sunday to record the second lowest score of the weekend.
Marquardt's efforts helped the relatively inexperienced Knox team start the season with a ninth place finish at their home course. Almost half of the roster were playing in their first collegiate tournament.
Out of the 22 teams at the invite, only three were Midwest Conference rivals. Knox easily defeated Carroll and Beloit, who finished thirteenth and fifteenth respectively in the tournament, while falling to a third place squad, rival Monmouth. Reminiscent of last year's Fighting Scots, Monmouth was the only team to beat the Prairie Fire at the MWC Championship in 2007.
Later named both Prairie Fire and MWC Golfer of the week, Marquardt was encouraged by the team's performance over the weekend, but added that there is plenty of room for improvement.
"Up and down the roster, we need to work on our short game," said Marquardt.
Coach Rugh confirmed this, highlighting course management, chipping and putting, as what the guys most need to focus on.
For the season outlook, Coach Rugh was unsure of what to expect from his squad.
"As inexperienced as we are, it's hard to tell," he said. "We'll have to play a few more tournaments and see how we develop."
Fresh off their second-place finish in the conference last year, as well as a championship run in 2006 (their nineteenth conference title in the last 24 years, making them by far the winningest in Knox's history and a dominant force in the MWC), the Prairie Fire enter the 2008 season having lost four varsity members to graduation, three of which consistently scored in the team's top five.
Marquardt, however, thinks what the team lacks in experience it makes up for in talent. Based on what he's observed so far this spring, he believes the team is poised to capture first place in the conference — and the national championship birth that comes along with it.
He cites sophomore newcomers Kevin Foerster and Taylor Mueller, freshmen Kevin Morris and A.J. Shule, along with more experienced players such as returning sophomores Mark Janicik and Bryce Goodman, and fellow senior Arjun Rao, the Prairie Fire's second through fourth scorers respectively this past weekend, as the likely ingredients in the team's championship run. All of those golfers are competing in a wide-open race for the four scoring positions behind the captain, who will likely contend for individual championship honors in the MWC.
Coach Rugh predicts the team will likely have a different top five each week. Both he and Marquardt believe the healthy competition can only make the Prairie Fire better.
"The whole team knows about the tradition of Knox Golf," said Marquardt. "Even the new guys realize second just isn't good enough."
Knox travels to Dubuque, IA this weekend for the Duhawk Spring Invitational, where the weather could be a concern as parts of Eastern Iowa received light snow Tuesday morning. The team will know at the time of printing whether or not the tournament is on.
Weather permitting, the Prairie Fire will compete against MWC rivals Monmouth and Carroll at Loras College's home course.

For almost half a century, the normative anchor of the global nuclear order has been the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). On 7 July, 122 states voted to adopt a new Nuclear Weapons Prohibition Treaty (or ban treaty). This new treaty was opened for signature in the UN General Assembly on 20 September and so far four countries have ratified and another 49 have signed. The ban treaty will come into effect 90 days after ratification by 50 states.

The Human Bean quickly established a reputation for having friendly and experienced baristas and offering the highest quality ingredients. Our commitment to developing the best drive-thru espresso led us to franchising The Human Bean?s brand and system in 2002. We are proud to announce that The Human Bean has expanded to 51 locations in eight states, 38 of those being franchised locations and 13 being corporate locations. We expect to continue this growth through approved franchisees that share the same determination and commitment to our goals for this exceptional brand.

Remove Rust Stains on Bluestone Pavers
I have been writing about Rust Stains on Bluestone for some time because we regularly have clients who either have naturally occurring rust from the inherent mineral composition of the stone, or accelerated rust stains due to someone cleaning Bluestone with Muriatic Cleaner. SPOILER ALERT – DO NOT USE MURIATIC CLEANER ON BLUESTONE!!
Fortunately, we have had great success solving most of the 'Bluestone Emergencies' by using our Two-Step Cleaning process using our Professional Grade Rust Remover from HMK Stone Care, followed by protecting the stone using our Impregnating Sealers.
Rust or iron minerals do occur naturally in many stones, and quite often in Bluestone, but normally do not become as bad as the image above. This bluestone was cleaned by a stone mason using Muriatic Acid, not knowing that it would accelerate the formation of rust by oxidizing the minerals. This image was taken just two days after cleaning, so naturally the homeowner was quite concerned. She contacted us for a solution, and we recommended the HMK R777 Rust Remover, followed by neutralizing with the HMK R155 Intensive Cleaner. We offer this convenient Combo Pack.
Once the Bluestone rust stains are removed, it is essential to protect the stone from further oxidation by sealing the stone with a professional grade impregnating sealer like HMK S234. This quality Impregnating Sealer also has stain protection for areas where food or other stains may occur.
HMK S234 Impregnating Stone Sealer
For areas that only need to protect agains water and natural elements, we offer a superior Silane based Impregnating Sealer, that is also very economical, HMK S231
If you are experiencing rust stains on you Bluestone pavers, please contact us for assistance. We have helped hundreds of clients solve their rust problems on Bluestone and Granite using R777 Rust Remover. Call for expert advice at 800-380-6881 or email us your images and we will be happy to assist you.

Kimbell Playground is open! Unfortunately, the opening festivities were postponed due to rain but clearly a crowd of youngsters did not mind a wet day in a new playground.
The renovation is mostly completed with only a few items that will be finalized in the next few months. Temporary signs will be replaced and the building will receive a new gate this summer.
Come and enjoy your recently renovated park!

So much has changed with the Miami Heat this season but one thing that hasn't: The organization's emphasis on the defensive end.
And second-year player Justise Winslow believes that proving the critics wrong about this team starts with the defense.
"You see the projections they have for us," Winslow said. "We want to do a lot better than that and I think we can especially with the group we have defensively we can be a helluva team. The offense will come but I think off the bat, beginning of the season, we have a lot of versatile guys that can play defense. As best as we can that defense will keep us in the game. We just got to figure out our rhythm and our flow offensively."
Winslow – expected to take over the starting small forward spot – like so many others sees the youth and a higher-than-usual number of players trying to prove themselves as a big reason Miami can overachieve.
"It's a very young, high energy, athletic versatile group," he said. "I think what we lack in experience we can also use to our advantage as kind of like, if there's a wall most people would try to run through the wall. We don't know any better so we are just going to try to go full force into the wall. Sometimes that's good, sometimes that's bad but we're going to try to use that to our advantage."
[LeBron James is surprised Miami Heat said they are 'just done' with Chris Bosh]
[Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside insists max contract won't change him]
[Josh McRoberts limited in first Heat training camp practice due to foot injury]
And though just 20, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2015 draft is being thrust into a leadership role sooner than expected now that veterans like Dwyane Wade and Luol Deng have left and Chris Bosh is dealing with his health issue.
But it's something Winslow is ready to embrace even though he said he's never been a rah-rah type of guy.
"To become a leader, a guy that all the other 14 guys in the locker room respect, a guy that I'm going to hold myself accountable and also my teammates," Winslow said when asked what will be his biggest challenge this season.
"This is something that is new to me. I've never been a super vocal guy but that's something I had a chance to try to do in summer league, I had a chance to witness (as a member of the USA Basketball Select Team), and so that's a role I want to take on.
"It should be fun for me and our team taking the next step. But for me becoming more of a leader and a guy that some of the newer guys – they're older than me but they're newer to the Heat culture – can kind of look to."

Graphical abstract
Objectives This meta-analysis determined the diagnostic performance of coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA), CT myocardial perfusion (CTP), fractional flow reserve CT (FFRCT), the transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG), and their combined use with CTA versus FFR as a reference standard for detection of hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease (CAD).
Background CTA provides excellent anatomic, albeit limited functional information for the evaluation of CAD. Recently, various functional CT techniques emerged to assess the hemodynamic consequences of CAD.
Methods This meta-analysis was performed in adherence to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched from inception until September 7, 2017. Bayesian random effects analysis was used to compute pooled sensitivity, specificity, and the summary receiver-operating characteristic curve of the index tests and compare them with the FFR as a reference standard. Analyses were performed on vessel and patient levels. Because CTA has excellent sensitivity, specificity was considered most relevant. Individual FFRCT values were collected.
Results Overall, 54 articles and 5,330 patients were included. At vessel level, pooled specificity of CTP (0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.76 to 0.93), FFRCT (0.78; 95% CI: 0.72 to 0.83) and TAG (0.77; 95% CI: 0.61 to 0.89) were substantially higher than that of CTA (0.61; 95% CI: 0.54 to 0.68). The addition of FFRCT, CTP, and TAG to CTA resulted in high to excellent specificities (0.80 to 0.92). The summary receiver-operating characteristic curve at vessel level yielded superior diagnostic accuracy for CTP, FFRCT, and combined CTA and CTP, compared with CTA. A subanalysis of on-site versus off-site FFRCT revealed no substantial differences between the sensitivity (0.84 vs. 0.85) and specificity (0.80 vs. 0.73) of the 2 techniques. In a second subanalysis, dynamic CTP showed higher sensitivity (0.85 vs. 0.72), but had a lower specificity (0.81 vs. 0.90) than static CTP.
Conclusions CTP and FFRCT demonstrated a substantial improvement in the identification of hemodynamically significant CAD compared with CTA; therefore, their integration to clinical workflow before revascularization is recommended.

Friend Software Corporation is a Norwegian company founded in 2014 which over the last few years has developed Friend – the world's first open-source decentralized Internet OS that is device and platform-neutral.
Currently, Friend is available in version 1.2 in commercial as well as open-source license. Friend is today used to provide various IT upgrading services to a wide variety of businesses and industries.
Since the start, Friend also has had the vision and understanding of how to utilize the immense potential of blockchain and decentralized computing in order to create an autonomous version of Friend. The Friend Network ICO, combined with the Friend Store marketplace, brings to the masses a means to simplify the increasingly complicated paradigm brought about by the greed of a handful of businesses intent on confining and restricting user activity in the name of profit.
There are many reasons why the world is not just ready, but desperate for change. Using computers today is complicated and becoming increasingly so. Many find it hard to understand the daunting complexity of the internet, and cannot even contemplate learning about decentralization and blockchain.
Over the last few decades, hardware, software and the Internet have all been upgraded, expanded, "improved" and exploited. The problem which has manifested from this is that each element has moved forward – but in different directions, creating not only an incredibly difficult environment to navigate through, but also exposing immense vulnerability. This has allowed smart opportunists to voraciously develop their own "silos" from which, once ensnared, there is little chance to break out.
The Friend Internet OS is arriving just at the right time. For those seeking to have the best usage for their devices, Friend OS is the perfect solution. The following five reasons explain why.
Friend Software Corporation has over the last 4 years adopted the very best of the new technologies, and has created a custom-built platform that not only embraces all of these new technologies but actually unifies them in such a way they communicate with each other and collectively adds benefit to each other.
Friend Internet OS works on any platform, anywhere in the world and on any device.
Both the OS and the platform have the best functionality features that make computer usage fun again. To begin with, it is open source. This means it is free to use, and the ownership and power to shape it belong to the community. Developers have the freedom and are encouraged to build their own apps on the platform using the Ethereum blockchain.
The Friend Platform functions over a network (it is multi-kernel) offering a simple developer/ end-user environment now and into the future. Users deploy the functions using either Android or Chrome or IOS power, friends can get access in seconds, and you can access the web easily and conveniently anywhere.
The Friend platform is also decentralized. This simply means that no powerful single entity can claim the user is within their paradigm, and therefore justify imposing a fee. The user is in complete control, to enjoy the feeling you can only experience with FREEDOM. You don't have to keep looking over your shoulder for prying eyes.
Friend enables any simple device with a screen and browser to perform every task. Now irrespective of which hardware you own, you have complete freedom of choice as to which browser or OS or search engine etc, you wish to use with the OS.
Friend integration, many computers, and internet-related functionalities are simplified. This means you don't have to struggle with understanding what to do and how to do it. Apart from enabling users to have the intelligence for personal growth, It offers functionality that makes things even better.
Powerful Partners
Friend has partnered with companies including fluence.ai, Golem, and Huawei — all giants in the technology field and companies who recognize the benefit of collaboration.
A Clear Roadmap
A company creates much more trust among users if it has a promising future. Reading the Friend white paper, it is clear they have great vision and plan to stay in the market for a long time.
Once the platform has been developed and becomes fully decentralized, many of their forward-thinking ideas will become reality. They also have plans to implement functionalities that allow organizations to distribute virtual cloud comps with ease. This will benefit large organizations such as universities and government departments.
The Token
The user has the ability and freedom to access the decentralized Friend Network. They can do so easily by using apps and services through new or existing models. And there is no intermediary in all of these. The token brings on board a new trading model online.
Strong Foundation
PressFriend is built on powerful pillars. These are integration, empowerment, freedom, intelligence, and privacy. This is everything that every internet user dreams of.
