The A to Z of Writing Fiction – Part 3
K is for Killing Off Your Darlings
This doesn't necessarily mean killing off your main character; it's more about killing off or eliminating what isn't right and doesn't fit. You may have written a fantastic scene but if it doesn't fit, it can't stay. You don't have to lose it altogether; keep it for another time and place but, if it isn't right, you must be prepared to cut the strings.
L is for Letting Your Characters Influence Your Plot
Depending on the situation they are in, a character may react in any number of ways. Much will depend on their personality and how they relate to other characters in the story, as well as the setting. If you work your plot out right from the start and then build the characters to fit it, they won't work. You have to let your characters guide you, not the other way around.
M is for Managing the Middle
Once the foundation of your story is strong, you will face the toughest hurdle – building the middle of the story. Most times, the middle sags. We've all read that book where it starts well and then seems to die before picking up again. Keeping your story going is important; most writers don't push their central conflict far enough or make their problems extreme enough. You must go further, deeper and, if necessary, start getting mean.
N is for Narration
Everyone wants to know what's going to happen next and, if nothing else, that is the main reason why the backbone of your story has to be a story. Some readers only want to know that; they have a primeval curiosity that pushes all other literary judgments out of the window. It is the only way to define your story; to have a natural sequence of events, told as they happen. For that reason, your story has just one merit. It must make your audience want to know what happens and that, by default, means it has just one fault – that your audience doesn't want to know what happens next because you just haven't given them enough reason to want to.
O is for Opening Strong
If your novel opening is strong, it is highly suggestive of the nature of your story. It puts the reader in the right place and time and in the approach of your story; its stance for narration and tone.
P is for Plot
The most important parts of your story are the elements of the prime plot. Everything else will spin off from those central points, sometimes having a direct effect on other things, sometimes not.
Q is for Quitting is NOT an Option
Yes, it is exhausting to write a book. It is a long horrible struggle and if you didn't have something driving you to do it, you wouldn't dream of taking on a project like this. Once you start, allow yourself to be driven. Don't invest all that time and energy only to give up when the going starts to get a little bit tough.
In the last part, we finish with R to Z.

Borderlands - Power and Peripheries :
Signalé ce matin par l'ami @alaingresh que je remercie beaucoup
"A dynasty is stronger at its centre than it is at its border regions," wrote the 14th-century Maghrebi scholar and statesman Ibn Khaldun.
Today, his observation continues to inform our understanding of the challenges facing states and societies in the Maghreb.
Sharing a history of trans-Saharan trading, a patchwork of ethnicities, and modern borders that define post-colonial states, the borderlands between Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya are at the nexus of the national and transnational.
Well before the first ripples of upheaval in Tunisia scattered across the region in 2011, smuggling, extremism, and conflict challenged the perception of these borders as fixed and inviolable. The uprisings that subsequently engulfed the region amplified these powerful transnational currents.
What follows is the story of borderlands, the often overlooked stage in this regional drama.

This report aims to provide insights to the New York City Council's Transportation Committee on vehicle collisions in New York City (NYC). The report was conducted by the Data Operations team and the findings are derived from analyzing the dataset NYPD Motor Vehicle Collisions. With the Validate, Clean, Assess and Relate (VCAR) framework in mind, the analysis is divided as follows:
Relate data: Answering the questions
Analyzing collisions in NYC is a complex challenge that can be modeled using different approaches. With that in mind, we decided to tackle the analysis as a classification problem. Consequently, the report leaves out approaches that could potentially be convenient, such as statistical tests or prediction. We decided to use a classification setting for pratical reasons: we are more insterested in which collisions result in injuries and deaths than predicting the exact number of injuries and deaths given a collision.
In this section, we will collect the raw data from NYC Open Data. A few things to know about the raw data are:
1. The total number of observations is 1,315,244, ranging from July 01, 2012 to July 29, 2018.
2. Each observation is one vehicle collision and each observation has 29 features.
3. The 29 features can be divided in the following groups:
borough, cross_street_name, latitude, location, longitude, zip_code, off_street_name and
number_of_cyclist_injured, number_of_cyclist_killed, number_of_motorist_injured, number_of_motorist_killed, number_of_pedestrians_injured, number_of_pedestrians_killed, number_of_persons_injured and
contributing_factor_vehicle_1, contributing_factor_vehicle_2, contributing_factor_vehicle_3, contributing_factor_vehicle_4, contributing_factor_vehicle_5, vehicle_type_code1, vehicle_type_code2, vehicle_type_code_3, vehicle_type_code_4, vehicle_type_code_5.
The following table allows us to identify the proportion of NaN observations per feature in our data.
Seven out of the 29 features have more than 83% observations as NaNs. One of 7 features with high percentage of NaNs,
cross_street_name, do not concern us because its information can be substituted with other location features. The other 6 features with high percentage of NaNs are the result of the fact that the features
contributing_factor_vehicle_X and
vehicle_type_codeX allow NYPD officers to record up to 5 contributing factors or vehicles types. For example, if one collision involved only two vehicle types, three
vehicle_type_codeX features will be NaN.
Since most classification models do not work well NaN features, we will consolidate
contributing_factor_vehicle_X and
vehicle_type_codeX into single features. In other words, instead of having up to five contributing factors per observation, we will have one list of contributing factors per observation. Consolidating these variables into single features has two main benefits: 1) It corrects the potential NYPD officer's error of reporting the same contributing factor or vehicle type per observation, and 2) it helps us generate one hot encodings for these features in the following sections.
Additionally, we will drop the observations where
contributing_factor_vehicle_1, vehicle_type_code1, latitude, and
longitude are NaN. This will ensure all observations have information aboout contributing factors, vehicle types, and location.
After dealing with NaNs, let's make sure the data type of our features is correct. We will pay particular attention to the
date and
time features. Converting these feature to datetime type will be helpful in the following sections.
As a final step in our collectiono and validation process, we will create the response features that will be used throughout the analysis. Specifically, we will create three binary variables indicating whether the collision resulted in 1) injuries, 2) deaths, or 3) death or injuries. Additionally, we will create feature indicating the count of injuries, deaths, and injuries and deaths per collision. These features will be helpful in the data exploration section.
Once we have collected and validated our data, it is time to clean it and conduct feature engineering. In general terms, this is what we are going to do:
borough, cross_street_name, off_street_name, on_street_name, zip_code, latitude, and
datetime to get year, month, weekday, day, and hour. We will also create sine and cosine transformations for weekday, hour, and minutes elapsed. These features are useful for data modeling because they capture the cyclical nature of the variables. Without transformation, 11:00 pm would be farther away from 2:00 am than 11:00 am.
contributing_factors and
vehicle_types. The one hot encoodings will help us to use these features as inputs for our classification models.
Since we are generating one hot encodings for a fairly large dataset, this function takes a few minutes to run. Perhaps a more efficient implementation would be to usse Scikit-learn Multilabel Binarizer. However, we prefer to use native Python or Pandas to make the logic behind the process clearer.
After validating and cleaning our data, we are ready to start exploring it. Given the limited scope of this report, we will only explore the following visualizations:
Since we are using interactive graphs, you can show or hide each series by clickling in the name of the series located the legend box.
Let's start by exploring the sum of injuries and deaths by 1) year and month, 2) weekday, 3) hour of the day. Here are some takeaways derived from these plots:
After exploring the sum onf injuries and death by date and time variables, let's move on to explore the top 10 factors that contributed to collisions by hour of the day. Here are some takeaways derived from the plots:
Driver Inattention/Distraction, Failure to Yield Right-of-Way, Fatigued/Drowsy, Following Too Closely, Backing Unsafely, Other Vehicular, Turning Improperly, Lost Consciousness, Passing or Lane Usage Improper, and
Traffic Control Disregarded.
Driver Inattention/Distractions, followed by Failure to Yield Right-of-Way and
Let's also check the top 10 vehicle types involved in collision by hour of the day. A few takeaways are the following:
passenger vehicle, sport utility / station wagon, unknown,
taxi, van, pick-up truck, other, sedan, station wagon/sport utility vehicle, bicycle, and
small com veh(4 tires).
passenger vehicle and
sport utility / station wagon.
sport utility / station wagon, unknown and
station wagon/sport utility vehicle. While natural language processing to correct this error is beyond the scope of this report, it is worth noting that a more exhaustive analysis would have to address this problem.
Maps are extremely helpful tools to visualize the frequency of injuries or deaths across NYC. The following map shows all locations (determined by latitude and longitude) where there was more than one death from June 2012 to July 2018. In the map, green circles mean between 2 and 4 deaths, while yellow mean between 5 and 9 deaths, and red circles mean more than 10 deaths. While creating this map, this post was extremely useful. A few take aways are the following:
Choosing the right model is always challenging. Given the limited scope of this report, we will utilize Logistics Regression and Gradient Boosting Classifier. We arbitrarily chose these models to utilize one of the classical classification algorithms (Logistic Regression) and one of the most widely used complex black box algorithms (Gradient Boosting Classifier).
Before jumping to modeling, it is important to check for unbalanced class labels. Since checking for unbalanced labels depends on the response variable that we choose, we conduct the checking in this section of the report rather than in the validation or cleaning section. This will allows us to implement our modeling pipeline to each of our potential response variables. Let's start by checking how unbalanced is our data for each response variable:
As we can see, our labels are extremely unbalanced. For the
is_injured and
is_injured_killed response variables, there are about 81% observations without injuries or deaths and 19% observations with either injuries or deaths. The case of the
is_killed response variable is even more extreme: there are about 99.895% observations without injuries or deaths and 0.105% observations with either injuries or deaths. The problem with unbalanced data is that metrics like precision must be taken with a grain of salt and, most importantly, unbalanced data can bias our classifiers because most classifiers rely on a 50% probability cut off.
Working with unbalanced data is a big topic in data science, which has resulted in several alternatives to address the challenge. However, we will balance our data using subsampling, the easier approach. In a nutshell, subsampling randomly selects a subset of the majority class that matches the number of observations of the minority class. Consequently, subsampling will result in data with the same number of observations with and without injuries and deaths.
We will use subsampling mainly because of two reasons. On the one hand, it takes advantage of the considerably large dataset that we have (+1 million observations). On the other, exploring other methods require further analysis, which is outside the scope of this report. Finally, it is important to be aware that subsampling has an important downside: we are losing information from the majority class.
Before subsampling our data, let's select the features that we will use to fit our models. As a basic approach for the purposes of this report, let's remove all features that are not part of the four following categories:
So far, we have decided to use Logistic Regression and Gradient Boosting Classifier, we have realized that we need to undersample our data depending on the response variable, and we have also chosen our features. Now, let's create a class that fits each model to each reponse variable utilizing the given features. Each instance of the class will have the following attributes:
X_train, X_validation, X_test, y_train, y_validation, y_test
ccuracy, precision, recall, f1
It is worth noting that exhaustive hyper parameter tuning with cross-validation should be conducted while choosing the right model for the classification problem. However, in order to keep the scope of this report limited, we will proceed with most of the default hyper parameters for our two models.
We are ready to comapre the performance of our models on our set of response variables. Let's write a nice little wraper to fit the models and make the comparison easier in a dataframe and in a grid of subplots.
Once we have fitted all our model, we can also access all them using the dictionary
trained_models, where the keys are the following:
As we can see in the results shown above, the model that had the best performance was Logistic Regression using "is_killed" as response. The bright side is that our best classifier gives us information on mortality rate, which is the main interest of the staffer from the Council's Transportation Committee. The downside is that subsampling
is_killed resulted in losing about 99.8% of our data. In any case, exploring other methods to balance the data are beyond the scope of this report. Let's move on to analize the results of our best classifier.
Keeping the confusion matrix in mind, let's interpret each of the performance metrics:
From a public policy perspective, we are most concerned about correctly classifying collisions that actually resulted in deaths. Therefore, recall is the most important metric for our classifier. Unfortunately, it is also the metric where our classifier performs worst with 70%.
On the bright side, if we compare our baseline accuracy of 50% with our overall accuracy of 75%, our model allows us to correctly classify 25% more collisions resulting in death than random classification.
After evaluating the performance of our classifier, let's take a look at the features ranked by our model as most important to classify collisions resulting in deaths. However, before jumping to interpreting the coefficients, it is important to note that ideally the interpretation of these coefficients should be conducted more in depth. This is because some of our features have different scales and, since our data is not normalized, the coefficients may be overestimating or underestimating the impact on the response variable.
However, for the purposes of this report, let's assume that the coefficients are reliable. The logic behind the interpretation is the following: the higher the weight, the higher the impact, and positive weight means the feature increases the likelihood of death given a collision, while negative weight means the feature decreases the likelihood of death given a collision.
Here are the main takeways from analyzing the features that increase the likelihood of death given a collision:
Here are the main takeways from analyzing the features that decrease the likelihood of death given a collision:
With the information gathered from our models and the data that we cleaned, we are now ready to answer the questions posted by the Council's Transportation Committee. Let's go one by one.
Unfortunately, answering that question with robust evidence will be hard. Since all the observations in our data represent collisions in NYC, we cannot dirctly compare observation that resulted in a collision against observations that did not result in a collision. We can, however, search for patterns among our collision data.

Coffee in the Shadow of the Grapevine
Monday, 14 January, 2013
Coffee in the Shadow of the Grapevine
All words by Paul Callaghan
Living in the Winelands it's very easy to be carried away by the wine culture that is almost completely ubiquitous. Although far from insidious, it is pervasive and the tourism aspect inherent to the industry breeds an impersonal storefront aspect where one is fed wine in order to buy it. One longs for soul, comfort and a local haunt where you and your usual drink are well known. This is what sets coffee apart. It accompanies us through late nights and pensive sit-downs with the newspaper and this is the essence of a coffee shop. So it begs the question of how coffee is faring in the shadow of the Western Cape's pre-eminent industry. This is my mission as a citizen of coffee exiled in the land of wine.
Franschoek is the ultimate embodiment of what the Winelands aspire to be. A conglomeration of wine farms, the mountains of the Franschoek valley and restaurants all built on the vast well of Huguenot history, who left behind an indelible mark. And it's here where I started trying to find my coffee shops with soul.
Since the area is mainly tourist orientated most of the main road coming into Franschoek is filled with restaurants and boutiques. With limited space most new shops fight more established eateries for a spot, forcing them into all sorts of attractive nooks and unassuming crannies. One of these new restaurants is the
Café des Arts
At the bottom of a side path and next to a verdant courtyard, des Arts has an open plan restaurant and kitchen surrounded by an eclectic but incredible collection of art that leaves one wondering how the illegitimate child of an art studio and coffee shop could appeal. But appeal it does. With beans supplied by Origin of Cape Town and great baristaship, they have developed a strong local base which should help them develop into a Franschoek stalwart.
Another gem in a fantastic little corner is
Deluxe Coffeeworks
- an offshoot of its big brother in Cape Town. Squeezed in between a culinary lingerie store (who knew?) and an aeroplane-restaurant hybrid known as Reuben's, Deluxe seems to be a microcosm of the burgeoning coffee scene in Franschoek. Squashed and fighting for room but shaking a caffeinated fist at the wine farms and demanding to be heard. Easy-going, friendly and personable, Deluxe earns this man's humble praise as his best coffee in years.
Slightly less out of the way is
Sacred Ground.
Although with the façade of an Americanised deli, the coffee is fantastic and there's a whimsically personal touch for the locals. A customer can leave a mug hung on the wall of the restaurant so his/her coffee is poured and served with their own mug. This brilliant idea provides a warm homeliness to a restaurant with the potential for detachment.
It's easy to pass Franschoek off as a play area for tourists without ever finding these coffee shops with soul but they are there and they seem to be doing a great job of bringing coffee out the shadow of vineyard to create something truly unique.

Discuss the partnership between overall look and actuality and the problems this involves in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and 'The Franklin's Tale'.
Judging a Book by simply its Cover
The appearance of a situation, person or place might sometimes be at total odds having its actual truth, and thus alter previous concepts held of your thing or person. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Chaucer's The Franklin's Tale, not only are there illusions throughout the tale's themselves, but the reality from the story and its message on conclusion fresh paint a very different picture for the initial thought the reader placed at the onset. Sir Gawain and the Green knight is definitely believed to be the creation of your anonymous West Midlands poet of the past due 14th century. A contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer, his prose also seems preoccupied with topics such as the human condition, morality within society, sociable structure and distinct interpersonal class systems. Like Chaucer, such questions concerning contemporary society were brought up through the moderate of entertainment, with both authors achieving eminence through their talent for the narrative. It was through their sparkle for the written expression that they raised social issues of the day pertaining to inspection and contemplation. Stories were created not entirely for nobility but for almost all medieval society, to both equally enjoy, although also to examine as a interpersonal critique in the structuralized hierarchy they hailed from. It is interesting to note, that although both anecdotes' had been written throughout the 14th 100 years, many of the central topics elevated are strongly related our own modern world, granted we certainly have since gained many concerns along the way. Amusingly, had the authors' recently been privileged a glimpse of recent day civilization and its desire for fabrication, their inventive reports would indeed have adequate sources to draw from.
In the beginning, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight generally seems to follow the regular form of French inspired relationships of the day. An Arthurian, historically inspired romantic endeavors of courage and the unrelenting courage of your knight. The poem clears with a wonderful and extravagant party at the court docket of King Arthur " Sypen kayred to pe the courtroom, coroles to generate. / To get per rapid climax premature climax, fest watz ilyche total fifteen dayes, " (43-45), a world with no the harsh realities of nature but rather drenched in courtly ideals, codes of courage and an excessive amount of luxury " And sipen mony siker segge by pe sidbordez… Dayntes dryuen perwyth of ful dere metes, as well as Foysoun of pe fresche, and on therefore fele disches…Ay two acquired disches twelue, / Great ber and bryzt wyn bope. "(115, 121-22, 128-129). A class strategy is in place in court to boot " Rapid ejaculationature climax, best burne ay abof, as hit best semed" (73) in fact it is soon reveled that Friend Gawain rests by Full Guinevere with the feast " There h?je Gawan watz grayped Gwenore bisyd, " (109), telling the audience he can not only one of the most highly respectable knights of King Arthur's Round Desk, but as well the Kings nephew " Bope premature ejaculation rapid ejaculation, rapid climax, premature climax, kynges sistersunes and ful siker kniztes; " (111). The relatively conventional relationship continues, with the appearance with the mysterious Green Knight " He ferde as freke were reduce, And oueral enker-grene. "(149-50); his challenge or proposition of a Xmas game for the court " Forpy My spouse and i craue in pis the courtroom a Crystemas gomen" (283); and Friend Gawain the two defending his King and courageously using the challenge from the strange Knight " I actually beseche now with sazez sene / Professional indemnity smelly mot be myne"(341-42).
Therefore , staying inside the conventional form, a leading man is offered not just meaningful perfection, yet also a figure of Full Arthur's regal bloodline. Gawain is well known as a perfect knight even as far away because Bertilak's fort " In menyng of manerez simply / Orin burne at this point schal vus bring" (925-6) and person who is also perfectly humble " I was pe the most fragile, I wot, and of wyt feeblest, …No bounte android your blod I during my bode knowe.

Different Type Speakers
When it comes to the time to buy new car speakers to upgrade your system, there are a lot of choices out there. First thing you should figure out is the size of the speakers that you are going to replace. The speakers already installed in your vehicle, in the doors are usually 5 inch, 6 inch or 6×9 inches, the back dash of the car are usually 6×9 inchs or 4×8 inches, and the front dash speakers are from 2 inches to 3 inch speakers. There are so many different type speakers out there to choose from, and sometimes it is just hard to choose with all the reviews that are online of which is the best.
You will also have the choice of 2 way, 3 way or 4 way speakers for your car sound system.
Differences Between 2, 3 and 4 way Speakers
Tweeter Speakers
- single tweeter cone (for High Ranges)
- come from 2 inch to 3 inch
Two way Speakers:
- installed with a woofer (for Low Ranges)
- installed with a Tweeter (for High Ranges)
Three way Speakers:
- installed with a woofer (for Low Ranges)
- installed with a Tweeter (for High ranges)
- Installed with a Mid-range Cone (for Detailed ranges)
Four way Speakers:
- installed with a bass cone (for Low Ranges)
- installed with a Mid-range (for Detailed Ranges)
- installed with Two Tweeters (for Very High Ranges)
Subwoofer Car Speakers:
- installed with only a Bass Cone to produce very low frequencies (Deep Bass)
- Remember subwoofers are usually mounted in ported enclosure boxes
Different Sound and Price:
As you can see speakers come in a lot of sizes, shapes and number of Components. The difference between the 2 way compared to the 3 way and 4 way is that there is no mid-range cone installed which leads to less sound in your car speaker system. The 3 way on the other hand puts out less high frequencies than the 4 way speakers due in fact because the 4 way speaker has an additional tweeter that is installed into it.
The other difference between all the speaker 2, 3 or 4 way is the price. Four way speakers will be more expensive than the others due to the extra components that are installed in them. The quality sound of a 4 way speakers will also be much more crisp and clear sounding. The many differences are a big factor in choosing Car speakers. When you think about subwoofers remember that the larger that it is the more vibrating low range frequencies it is going to put out. Price vary for subwoofers and enclosure boxes.
Most speakers come in different Watts as well, so take caution when buying and amplifier for them and make sure it has enough power to run the speakers in the right manner.

Those people who write about being single are annoying.
They are either super happy with being single [and make you feel guilty for the days that you don't feel equally super happy] or they complain about being single [and that always makes me roll my eyes in annoyance].
I didn't want to be annoying.
But on a deeper level, I didn't want to write about something that was so. stinking. personal.
Because when you desire to be married, pray and believe that God hears you, and then buzz by your 31st birthday still single, that junk is personal.
The writer approaches her single life as a Christian woman who deeply wants her unanswered prayer of getting married to be heard by God. She writes about being in an unwanted season of her life and being unsure how to cope. I can relate: I am still learning how to have authentic relationships, show up for my friends and myself, be gentle and kind to myself so I can share that with others…let alone becoming emblematic of happy single people. (As some of you have probably guessed, I embody the Single more than the Happy most of the time!)
It's not my job to be the poster child of Single Christian Girls.
I don't know everything there is to know about how to handle this season – friendships with boys, sex, boundaries, roles, career pursuits, all of that stuff. I am not here to claim ultimate wisdom on how to do this.
[And seriously, those poster people are the annoying ones I already told you about. I really don't want to be annoying.]
I thought you'd enjoy that perspective. I know that y'all will tell me if I get to be one of those annoying people. I'm really trying to avoid that.

I know that in a two-component gas-liquid system (for simplicity) the chemical potential $\mu_i$ ($i=1,2$) and total pressure $p$ can be defined by
$$\mu_i=\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial N_i}\right)_{S,V,N_j}$$ and $$p=-\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial V}\right)_{S,N_1,N_2}.$$ where $U$ and $V$ are the internal energy and volume of the system, $N_i$ is the mole number of each component, and $p=p_1+p_2$ with $p_i$ being the partial pressure. But how the partial pressure and chemical potential are related? Intuitively, I think $\mu_i\propto p_i$. Thank you!

STEPHEN FRY hailed him a "genius"; David Crosby called him "wonderful"; while Acoustic Magazine said he is a "gifted and inspirational guitar player".
He is the British singer-songwriter and virtuoso guitarist Jon Gomm who plays the Róisín Dubh tomorrow at 9pm.
Jon's interest in the instrument was kindled at the age of two by a ukulele. He wrote his first song at six, and was soon accompanying his father, a music critic, to gigs in his hometown of Blackpool. Touring musicians would often stay at the Gomm household which led to Jon getting one-to-one guitar lessons from bluesmen Walter Trout and Bob Brozman.
These influences, combined with Robert Johnson and Radiohead, led Gomm to create his signature style, using the guitar to create drum sounds, basslines, and twisting melodies all at the same time.
"We have seen the future of acoustic guitar playing, and it is called Jon Gomm," declared Blues Matters. See for yourself tomorrow.
Tickets are available at www.roisindubh.net, from the Ticket Desk at OMG, Shop Street (formerly Zhivago ), and The Róisín Dubh.
