If you've been to an arcade in the last two decades, chances are you've played, seen, or heard of Daytona USA. Designed by famed AM2 developers Toshihiro Nagoshi (Virtua Racing, Super Monkey Ball, F-Zero GX) and Yu Suzuki (Outrun, Virtua Fighter, Shenmue), the game is based on the NASCAR Daytona racing circuit. It offers high-speed arcade racing thrills across three courses in either a manual or an automatic stock car while racing against up to forty opponents and the timer.
Set in a forest, the beginner circuit, Three-Seven Speedway, is a fantasised version of the Daytona circuit with only one difficult corner, which has Sonic carved into the rock wall. The advanced circuit, Dinosaur Canyon, is a dinosaur-shaped circuit set in a canyon and contains the best balance of high-speed straights and tight, challenging corners. The expert course, Sea-Side Street Galaxy, is the longest circuit spanning a San-Francisco style bridge, a city, the countryside, a shipping dock, and even a rocket launch pad! This is the most challenging course, featuring many hazardous corners that really test your driving skills.
Automatic transmission is for beginner racers, while manual transmission offers a higher top speed and more options for cornering.
While racing, composer Takenobu Mitsuyoshi (Virtua Fighter, SEGA Rally, Shenmue) belts out fruity lyrics like "Rolling staaaaaart!", "Daytonaaaaaaa!", and "I wanna fly sky hiiiiiigh!" over some catchy, pumping music that intensifies the races. As cheesy as the lyrics are, they draw players into the races and you might find yourself singing along despite yourself.
In 1993, this game looked very realistic. Despite this, the game eschews realistic play mechanics in favour of arcadey high-speed thrills. Further, while racing against the computer-controlled opponents is fun and challenging, the game rises to another level when competing against up to eight human opponents.
While the arcade version has earned a legendary status over the decades, the four home conversions are a mixed bag, offering an assortment of extras and conversion qualities. I'll examine each one, comparing graphics, audio, playability, extras, and spirit.
Daytona USA (SEGA Saturn, 1995)
Ported by the original AM2 developers, this conversion features terrible pop-up, glitching, and draw-in, and plods along at an instable 20-25 frames per second compared to the coin-op's 60. Moreover, the PAL borders are so big the game could have been marketed as the Deluxe Widescreen Edition. Despite the poor presentation, it still looks like the arcade version, albeit at a lower resolution.
The game sounds superior to the coin-op, thanks to the clarity of redbook audio. These sonically superior versions of the arcade tunes were re-recorded with real instruments and vocals as opposed to the coin-op's spliced versions.
The controls are responsive using the standard control pad, although the button layout options are limited, even when using the manual edit setting. The game plays just like the coin-op despite the dodgy frame rate.
This conversion includes two modes. Arcade Mode offers the same single-player coin-op experience. Saturn Mode adds more cars, the ability to race without a time limit, and mirrored versions of the circuits. Unfortunately, the new cars are the same as the original, albeit with different specifications and minor paint alterations. While the different specifications offer some gameplay variety, the original cars are better, making these additions mostly superfluous. The freedom to race without the timer offers players the opportunity explore and master the tracks without pressure, while the mirrored tracks offer a slightly different challenge. Sadly, the game lacks any multiplayer mode, which is unforgiveable, given that multiplayer made the coin-op so much fun.
In essence, this conversion is a graphically inferior version of the arcade game that was barely acceptable in 1995. Nevertheless, it's still a solid, highly playable racer.
3 Stars
Daytona USA Championship Circuit Edition
(SEGA Saturn, 1996)
Developed by the AM3 conversion team responsible for the awesome SEGA Rally Championship Saturn port, and released eighteen months after the original conversion, Championship Circuit Edition (CCE) fixes many of the issues players had with that version.
For starters, this conversion adds two new circuits – National Park Speedway, a high-speed circuit set in a national park with two challenging corners, and Desert City, a desert-based circuit almost on par with Dinosaur Canyon for its balance of high-speed straits and challenging corners. The former lets players race alongside a rollercoaster and the latter a train, which adds to the atmosphere.
Another addition are eight new cars, which vary in acceleration, grip, and top speed. Unlike the superfluous cars of the original Saturn conversion, these cars add some complexity to the game. Unfortunately, CCE handles differently from the arcade game. Instead of the twitchy, powersliding driven gameplay, CCE plays closer to the finesse of SEGA Rally. While this makes for a very enjoyable and solid racing experience, fans of the coin-op will be disappointed.
As well as an Arcade mode, this conversion adds a Time Attack mode, where players race for the best lap and overall course times, and a 2-Player Battle mode, which pits players against a human opponent in a split-screen race. The latter is much needed and a lot of fun. While the graphics take a hit in this mode, it's still very playable thanks to the solid frame-rate.
The game's graphics are a huge improvement on the original conversion, featuring longer draw-in distances, minimal clipping, and a constant 30 frames per second. Also, most of the graphics have been redrawn, offering a slightly different look.
The sound effects are more powerful, while Richard Jacques (Sonic R, Metropolis Street Racer, Headhunter), Jun Senoue (Sonic 3, SEGA Worldwide Soccer, Sonic Adventure), Tomonori Sawada (Sonic & Knuckles, Panzer Dragoon Zwei, SEGA Rally 2), and Kenichi Tokoi (Sonic Jam, Sonic Adventure, Space Channel 5) have remixed the original music as dance or rock tunes, omitting the vocals. They have also created new tunes for the new courses, and the options menu allows players to assign which ones to play on each circuit. The remixed tunes are great substitutes, giving the game a more mature atmosphere. The lack of wacky vocals will come as a relief to some, and annoy others. Eric Martin of Mr Big fame gives a vocal performance on a rock introduction tune, Sons of Angels, which sets the game's tone.
While this conversion looks like Daytona USA, it plays differently enough to be a new game in its own right. Pursuits will moan about this, however, CCE is a solid racing game.
Two alternate version of CCE were released. The first, Daytona USA Circuit Edition, was released on Saturn three months later in Japan. As well as the above features, the game includes the ability to race at different times of day, allows network play across the Saturn Netlink, and the cars handle more closely to the arcade version, making this version more authentic. Further, the graphics have been cleaned up slightly, and the coin-op's music returns in place of the remixes. Everything in-game is presented in English, meaning CE is arguably the better version.
The other alternate version, Daytona USA Deluxe Edition, was released on the PC in 1997. Featuring the same feature as Circuit Edition, it adds another circuit, Silver Ocean Causeway, a simple ocean-side city that reuses a lot of graphical assets from the other circuits. It has a lot of wide corners and straights, and only one challenging corner. The game also has a longer draw distance, using a fog effect to eliminate some popup and the ability to alter each car's suspension, handling, front and rear ride height.
4 stars
Daytona USA 2001 (SEGA Dreamcast, 2001)
Developed by Genki, the developers responsible for the Tokyo Highway Challenge series and the abysmal Virtua Fighter 3tb Dreamcast port, Daytona USA 2001 (2001) features superior graphics and draw distances to the coin-op, and runs at a solid 60 frames-per-second. This is the best-looking version of Daytona USA, bringing the graphics on par with those of Daytona USA 2.
The vocals return in slightly rearranged versions of the original tunes, which lack the same energy. Strangely, the original tunes can be found in the sound test but can't be played during a race. The CCE tunes are replaced with new ones and, along with new songs for the new circuits, are imbued with the same quirky style of the originals. Different arrangements of the tunes are used for the mirrored tracks, giving players some aural variety. The sound effects are as good as CCE but the game features a whinny announcer.
2001 includes the three arcade circuits, the two CCE circuits, and three new ones. Set in a stadium, Circuit Pixie is a simple oval track that requires no breaking. Rin Rin Rink, which is set in a swamp, is a simple circuit with two challenging corners. Mermaid Lake is a figure of eight circuit around a lake, featuring one very long banked curve, an easy turn, and a very challenging corner. While the other five circuits are faithfully reproduced, the three new courses are little more than speed runs that lack the complexity of the other circuits. Reverse, mirrored, and reverse-mirrored versions of each course are available.
As well as the original Hornet, three new cars have been added, and six more can be unlocked. Each has different acceleration, top speed, and grip specifications, meaning they handle differently, offering some depth to the game. Players can modify the softness and hardness if the tyres used, and can change the car's paintwork.
The controls play differently from the coin-op. Fortunately, the NTSC-U and PAL versions feature an option to adjust the analogue sensitivity so the cars' handling more closely resembles the arcade's.
Single Race mode replaces Arcade mode, where players can race up to 39 opponents on any track. Player can also race from two to 16 laps on each circuit. Championship Mode allows players to compete in a series of four races to unlock new cars. Time Attack mode pits players against the clock, while Versus Mode lets two players race each other and eight computer-controller cars in split-screen. Unfortunately, multiplayer is restricted to two human players, when four, given the four control ports on the Dreamcast, was expected. A Network Mode, where players could race other human opponents online, was removed from the PAL version, which is a huge disappointment since multiplayer racing is where the coin-op really shines. Replay mode allows players save and rewatch single player races.
Despite so many customisable features, 2001 is too challenging, especially in Championship Mode, and lacks the spirit of the coin-op. Further, the simplistic design of the new courses, the lack of customisable music, and the twitchy controls drag down what is otherwise a solid remake and fantastic racing game.
4 Stars
Daytona USA (Playstation Network / Xbox Live Arcade, 2011)
After reobtaining the Daytona licence, SEGA converted the high definition arcade rerelease, SEGA Racing Classic, to PSN and XBLA, adding the Daytona branding and restoring the original music.
The game looks exactly like the coin-op, only in 720p. It's beautiful to behold. It plays exactly like the arcade game, meaning it's easy to get into but challenging to master.
Players have the option to use the coin-op's music or newly arranged versions, which keep the energy of the originals while enhancing them. These sound like appropriate updates.
Little extra content has been added. Arcade Mode gives players the same experience assthe coin-op. Extras mode offers players a series of challenges across each circuit. Some are as simple as powersliding around a corner and doing a rocket start, while others are more complex, asking players to maintain certain speeds while powersliding around corners. Not only do they add to the game's longevity but they also teach players how to better play the game. Extras mode also offers a time attack mode and a grand prix mode. The latter allows players to race 80, 40, and 20 laps over each respective circuit while earning time bonuses for achieving certain conditions, such as cornering without braking and powersliding. It's very challenging and rewarding. Finally, what game with wacky lyrics would be complete without a Karaoke Mode!
Although the game is missing most of the extras from the subsequent conversions of Daytona USA, when presented in such a perfectly pretty package for less than $10, along with an online multiplayer mode that allows players to race up to 8 players, what gamers finally have is an arcade-perfect conversion. This is by far the best version of Daytona USA outside of the arcade because it perfectly captures the game's spirit.

|Position Description:
Applications are invited for one or two postdoctoral positions in development of experimental and computational/analysis methods for X-ray crystallography and small-angle X-ray scattering of biomolecules, in the development of experimental methods for cryo-electron microscopy, and in fundamental studies of ice nucleation, growth, and aqueous glass formation. The group of Prof. Robert Thorne at Cornell University studies a variety of biological, chemical, and materials physics problems relevant in probing and understanding biomolecular structure and function, and develops new methods for synchrotron X-ray and electron diffraction-based study of biomolecular systems. Our emphasis is on fundamental understanding and methods rather than on the function of specific biomolecular systems. Methods and tools we have developed are used by structural biologists around the world. Information on our current and past projects is available at www.lassp.cornell.edu/Thorne/research.html.
The postdoctoral position(s) will focus on developing and applying tools and methods for variable temperature and time-resolved crystallography, for cryogenic and time-resolved variable-temperature small-angle X-ray scattering, for single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, and for interpreting the resulting data to extract information about biomolecular structure, function, and energy landscapes. These efforts will include supporting experiments and modeling of ice nucleation, growth, and glass formation in aqueous solutions. They will allow fundamental biophysical questions regarding enzymatic mechanisms, protein folding, protein evolution, allostery, and solvent structure and interactions to be addressed.
The work will make extensive use of the highly flexible facilities for X-ray science available at the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) (www.chess.cornell.edu), and the outstanding microbeam capabilities at NSLS-II.
The work may involve CAD design and microfabrication (using Cornell's outstanding Nanofabrication Facility (www.cnf.cornell.edu)), X-ray data collection (at CHESS, NSLS, or APS), electron diffraction data collection and analysis using Cornell facilities, laboratory-based experiments, protein expression and purification, and modeling and analysis of data. The postdoctoral associate(s) will be expected to collaborate with CHESS staff scientists and other members of the structural biology and X-ray science communities at Cornell, and to assist in supervising graduate and especially undergraduate students.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics, biophysics, applied physics, structural/molecular biology, chemistry, materials science, or related fields.
The initial Postdoctoral Associate appointment will be for one year, with the expectation for renewal for at least one additional year. Start dates are flexible and can be as early as March 2020.
Application material should be submitted to Academic Jobs Online. Complete applications will include a brief cover letter, a CV, a detailed summary of research experience and interests, and three letters of recommendation.

#74: Behind the Slice Literary Writers' Conference: An Interview with literary agent Erin Harris by Liz Mathews
July 21, 2015
Ask any two literary agents how they spend their day, and you'll get wildly different answers. But even if they go about their work differently, they're all rooting for the same outcome: to discover incredible new writers in their submissions. We spoke with Erin Harris, literary agent at Folio Literary Management, about how she approaches the imperfect art of finding new talent. Writers, if you've ever submitted your work to Erin, know that she reviewed it with a hopeful eye. Erin will share more about her quest for great new writers on our A Day in the Life panel at the Slice Literary Writers' Conference in Brooklyn on September 12. You can find the full panel lineup here.
When you receive a query from a prospective writer, what's the first thing you look for? Is there a ritual in how you consider a manuscript or proposal?
What a good question. Let me start by saying that I receive approximately 40 queries a day. If I let the queries pile up, I'm sunk! So I allocate about half an hour, daily, to reviewing these unsolicited submissions. As you might imagine, it's important for me to sort through them efficiently, but also thoroughly. I think there's a common misperception surrounding queries. When I talk to aspiring or emerging writers at conferences, they often ask me if agents value queries at all, the implication being that queries might be a thorn in our collective sides – to be extracted and tossed away as quickly as possible. This couldn't be further from the truth. Agents are in the business of discovery; we're looking for literary talent that we can foster and nurture, and queries are one of the vital ways in which we connect with talent.
After a day of phone calls, emails, pitching, and meetings – and maybe, maybe some reading and editing (if I'm lucky) – I actually really look forward to sifting through the day's queries. This is a moment when I can catch my breath. When I can kick my feet up and let someone else do the work for me! All I have to do is listen to their story. And I'm always, always making a silent wish that I'm about to stumble upon something amazing and fall head over heels.
My method for navigating a query is as follows:
- I look to see how the author found me. If there's a personal connection great, but if an author explains why they're reaching out, demonstrating knowledge of my interests and tastes, that's just as effective. I want to know that a writer has targeted me for a reason. More often than not, when a writer hasn't explained why she's contacting me, the query she's sent is for a project that isn't right for my list.
- I look at the title. Is it a good title? If so, this demonstrates some promise and I start to get excited. If not, I become a bit skeptical, but I'm still willing to give the writer the benefit of the doubt.
- I look at the genre and word count. If the word count isn't appropriate to the genre, then I quickly skip down to the author's credentials and the first couple lines of her sample pages. In cases such as this, where the word count is either over or under, I'm not interested, unless the author's credentials and opening lines can make me think twice about passing. (But then, I know the project is going to need either expansion or condensation and the journey to a sale could be long and winding.)
- If the genre suits my tastes and the word count is appropriate to the market, then I skip down to the author's credentials. If the credentials are good, then I read the summary of the book very carefully and then continue on to the sample pages. If the writer doesn't have impressive credentials, then I speed read the summary to get the gist of the project, and then skip right down to the sample pages to see if I respond to the author's voice.
- If in my reading or speed reading of the summary, I don't respond to the concept of the book, I will still take a very quick look at the sample pages. If you can't tell by now, I'm really rooting for the writer – I want her to win me over, and I'm open to being surprised by what grabs me. With that said, it's very rare that my instincts about a project are wrong. I can't recall a time I've not liked the premise of the book and then been won over by the sample pages…
In the end, if a query has a great premise and wonderful sample pages, then I'm likely to request the manuscript. If the author has great credentials – such as an MFA or publication credits – that's a big plus.
In terms of considering manuscripts and proposals, I look for many of the same elements as in the query, but the hope is that these elements are sustained for the length of the entire book or proposal: a fresh, compelling, and saleable premise; a strong voice and dazzling writing; a plot or narrative arc that is urgent and propulsive and demonstrates good pacing; characters that feel three dimensional and sympathetic, even if they are flawed or "unlikeable."
In your profile on the Folio website, what do you mean when you suggest that there ought to be more agents who think like writers? Is there a way for writers to reverse that, and be writers who think like agents?
Just to clarify: I say that I think there is a need for agents who think like writers; though I certainly don't mean to imply that there's a dearth of amazing agents out there – simply that I think the role of "the agent" has shifted a bit in the last 10 years, as agents seem to be engaging more with their authors in an editorial capacity. Given this reality, I believe it helps to have a writing background or editorial inclinations, which is why I made the decision to get an MFA. Being an agent means existing at the intersection of creativity and commerce, and so for me, at least, it's helpful to feel like I have one foot in each world and can act as a bridge between the two.
As for the second piece of your question – I love the idea of inverting my assertion; yes! I think it is always to the writer's benefit if she can think a bit like an agent, which basically means having an awareness of the publishing ecosystem and understanding, fundamentally, that it is an industry.
In less abstract terms, I think publishers and agents alike really appreciate authors who know the importance of taking an active role in their own PR and marketing. To be an author these days means you are not only a creative, but also something of a brand. Strategic networking and getting your name out there is crucial. Your publisher and agent will help you strategize about how to do this, but the willingness to actually do the work and to think outside of the box, those things have to come from you.
When considering queries, do you seek out a balance between the genres you're interested in? For instance, say you'd just found a really amazing YA manuscript, and then you notice another few queries that are also YA-oriented. Would you look for, say, a nonfiction piece among your queries, just to break things up?
When I started selling books, I only represented literary fiction, upmarket fiction, and narrative non-fiction. That was my background, and my training. The foray into YA came about two years later. My mentor at the time had a few "adult" literary authors who decided to write YA novels, and I had the privilege of working on those manuscripts and seeing them through to publication. Concurrently, I started to read some YA recreationally, and I thought to myself, Hey, I really enjoy this and believe in it. Why am I not representing YA also??
Now, I adore the variety that comes from representing books for both adults and teens. At present, my list is about 60% adult 40% teen. So far, this seems like a good balance. If I feel short on YA, I might reach out to a few writers who have piqued my interest. Similarly, I am always reaching out to talented literary writers whose short stories have caught my eye and captured my imagination.
But, as far as unsolicited submissions go, I'd never turn away a project that I felt passionately about simply because it would tip the balance. I'm just looking to represent amazing work that's written by amazing people – it's that simple.
But I will share this: I am on the hunt for another literary or upmarket novel to add to my fall list!
Is there something you wish writers would think about or do before they ask you to consider their work?
This response feels fairly self-evident to me, but maybe it won't to others… I always hope that writers are sending me their most polished work, even if I'm only reading an excerpt rather than the whole manuscript. As I mentioned previously, agents often assume a more editorial role now, but this doesn't mean that we're freelance editors or writing teachers. The work really needs to come in at the highest level. You need to think that it's ready to go on a bookshelf. Then I'll step in and together we'll make it even stronger. Then, an editor will step in and make it bullet-proof.
Have you ever represented a book that you really believed but had a hard time finding an interested publisher? What was that experience like (and how involved was the writer)?
Oh my goodness, yes! And I don't think I'm alone in this. You can have a very talented author who has written a book that maybe just isn't right for the market right now. That's one thing. In these cases, it's your job to encourage the author to maybe work on something else, and to steer her in a more productive direction. Just because you haven't written your breakout book now, doesn't mean you're not going to – you just need to be nimble and tenacious. These situations are tricky and hard, but as an agent you've got to keep the faith and help your author get to the next level.
But, actually, I don't think this is the sort of scenario you're asking about. I think you're asking about what happens when an agent goes on submission with a book that she knows in her bones needs to be on shelves immediately, and the submissions process is rocky – what is that experience like?
Well, it's shocking, heart-rending, stressful, maddening, insomnia-inducing… especially when you're not getting any kind of consensus in the passes you're receiving from editors, and you feel utterly sure that what the market is saying is just dead wrong. Well, that's when you as an agent need to really step it up, call forth your dragons, and fight for your author and what you believe in. It only takes one publisher to see things your way in order for the book to happen.
I've been in this latter situation twice now, both with literary debuts, and I'm very relieved to say that both had happy endings. The first novel became a New York Times editor's choice book and made the Washington Post's best books of the year list, and the other (which hasn't published yet) was acquired in a six figure two book deal. Telling these two authors that their books had finally found the perfect home has been the highlight of my career to date.
Erin Harris is a literary agent at Folio Literary Management who represents literary, upmarket commercial and historical fiction, as well as YA and narrative non-fiction. Erin received her MFA in Creative Writing from The New School and enjoys working with both debut and established authors. She is particularly drawn to fiction set against the backdrop of another time, place, or culture; fiction with mystery or suspense in its DNA; and fiction that includes a fabulist element. On the non-fiction side, she looks for compelling narratives that reveal underlying yet unexpected truths about our world. Some of her clients include: New York Times Editor's Choice novelist Daniel Levine, historical novelist Jennifer Laam, Times Magazine contributor and former Newsweek correspondent Carla Power, and YA authors Emiko Jean, Marie Marquardt, and VCFA graduate Stefanie Lyons. In her spare time she co-curates H.I.P. Lit, a literary event series based in Brooklyn.

It's easy to forget something from January when you're looking back in December. But for me, one of the year's early surprise hits is hard to forget.
At the end of January, publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment released Dying Light for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and the critics were quick to point out that it felt a lot like an Assassin's Creed or Far Cry. And that is true. Dying Light is an open-world action game with a world map that fills up with markers you need to explore. But I felt at the time, and my opinion on this has only solidified since, that most people were missing something deeper and more rewarding.
Dying Light is a zombie survival game where you play in first person and can do some awesome parkour stuff. The movement is excellent. That's important because the world is huge and brimming with violent flesh-eating humans. But it's also important because it makes every tiny moment of gameplay fun. It's weird that all these years after Super Mario 64 figures out 3D movement we're still getting games that are learning to put interesting twists on that basic outline.
And enjoying the moment-to-moment gameplay of Dying Light's gameplay is important because it means you will probably get better at it. And that'll make you ready to go out at night.
Venturing into the darkness is optional in Dying Light, and that was fine with me because the inky blackness made me feel alone and frightened. But I did eventually attempt to run a night mission after finding out it would give me bonus experience points.
That did not go well.
After leaving the safety of one of my bases, my radar immediately filled up giant cones representing the vision of the more powerful zombies. I made it about 10 seconds before running right into one, which flexed its awful, exposed muscles and made bodily waste leave my privates involuntarily.
I flashed the monster with my UV flashlight to stun it, and then turned to book in through the game's favela-like city. A quick wall jump and parkour maneuvers did not improve my situation. Instead, I quickly picked up two more high-powered enemies on my tale. But despite the darkness, I began to recognize where I was and remembered that I was near a UV trap. After taking a major blow and losing most of my life, I limped around a car, jumped over a standard zombie (exploding his head with my boot in the process), and was able to get on a roof with enough speed to avoid the monsters on my tail.
I made a leap for the intersection where I remembered the trap. I got the prompt to activate it, and I didn't look back to see what happened to the monsters. This gave me enough of a break to make it back to another one of my bases.
It is one of the scariest and most exhilarating things I did in games this year.

I truly believe that this is a great time to be a writer. There's so much concern, it seems to me, about the state of publishing–bookstores closing or stocking fewer and fewer books, publishing houses not accepting new submissions, or not supporting the authors they've already signed, or offering far lower advances than they once were. And not that those are not absolutely valid concerns. But I still say–this is a great time to be a writer.
The e-book revolution has opened up so many doors to us authors that would have been nailed shut before. I also hear a lot of both written and spoken opinions that self (or indie) publishing is somehow 'too easy', that the book world is going to be buried under a deluge of dreadful books that the quality control of the major publishers would once have kept from ever seeing the light of day. I hear those arguments, but I'm honestly just not buying it. Yes, it is now 'easy' to get your book up there for sale on Amazon. You do not HAVE to rewrite it until you know it forwards and backwards, edit it, polish it, and format it until it shines. If you are crazy enough to try it, you theoretically can throw up a lousy first draft of a sloppy book. But–here's the thing–it is almost certainly not going to get you anywhere except a possible handful of sales and a lot of bad reviews.
I truly don't think that indie publishing is any easier than going the traditional route. Writing a good book is HARD, it has always been hard and it always will be. The authors who succeed–the authors who are even now succeeding–are the ones who are passionate and driven enough to make their stories the very best they can be. They are the ones who hire an independent editor, who workshop their book with critique partners and friends, who do their absolute best to ensure that they are bringing a book that they are truly proud of into the world.
And even then, once their books are out in the world–publicizing, spreading the word about your story is by no means easy. We've all been talked to about social media and platform and finding your book's market–and there is no question, it all takes a huge commitment of time and hard work.
So, I hear you say, why is this such a great time to be a writer? [Read more…]

For once-in-a-lifetime drama, it doesn't get bolder or more exhilarating than Old Head Heavyweight contenders The Irish Golfer Magazine's Top 100 ranking came out a fortnight ago to much fanfare, yet the publication of Golf magazine's Top 100 courses in the world slid by relatively unnoticed in Ireland.
It's an American magazine so perhaps that's one explanation but it is an authoritative ranking with 100 raters involved in assessing courses around the world.
Released in August, it is the magazine's 18th biennial world rankings… and Ireland has seven courses on the list. This won't come as any surprise to those who love links golf and have played the best courses Ireland has to offer.
Those seven courses, and their position in brackets, are as follows: The European (97), Waterville (82), Portmarnock (49), Lahinch (35), Ballybunion (Old) (17), Royal Portrush (14), Royal Co Down (4).
Maybe you'll argue with the order; maybe you'll disagree with the gaps between courses (eg the 33 places between Portmarnock and Waterville); and maybe you will argue that other courses should have been included, but consider this: there are approximately 30,000 golf courses in the world and, with 340 18-hole courses, we have a little over 1% of that total. And yet we have 7% of the world's best courses.
Scotland, England, and Wales contribute a further 24 courses so, combined, our two small islands boast 31% of the world's best.
Compare this to the USA, which has approximately 50% of the world's total courses and has 42 in the Top 100. Pound for pound, Ireland does extremely well. Even so, that won't satisfy some Irish golfers because there are other courses that must have been close. Let's take a look at the five most likely contenders...
1. Tralee, Co Kerry
Probably the closest course to making the top 100, Tralee wins non-stop plaudits for its beautiful location and its famous back nine.
The setting for the course above the beach made famous by Ryan's Daughter is spellbinding but when its designer, Arnold Palmer (alongside Ed Seay), quipped that 'I designed the first nine but surely God designed the back nine', it was a phrase that ignited the imagination and a belief that became folklore. It was also ranked number seven in the Top 10 Ocean Golf Courses in the world by Golf Channel. (Ballybunion was No 8).
There's no doubt that the back nine is an incredible adrenaline rush of huge dunes, intriguing fairways, and green settings that have to be seen to be believed, but the front nine is regarded as weaker as it doesn't hold quite the same drama.
That's harsh when you consider what holes 2, 3, and 8 offer but the opening nine is indeed let down by a couple of weak holes.
There are plans to make changes to these so this remarkable links may well find itself in the top 100 in two years' time.
2. Old Head, Co Cork
For once-in-a-lifetime drama, it doesn't get bolder or more exhilarating than this. Similar to Tralee, it was ranked in the Top 10 Ocean Golf Courses by Golf Channel — at No 9 — so its location on the ocean-dipped promontory is a big part of its attraction. So too are the 300-foot cliffs which come in to play on nine holes.
There are few courses anywhere that boast hazards dropping straight down into the ocean as often or as far as here, and many's the time you hear of golfers failing to get passed the second tee after discovering they have a fear of heights.
The design of the course takes you as close to those cliffs as possible and yet it still remains a generous course to play. That is also one of the criticisms aimed against it, especially on the 'inner' nine holes where style trumps substance.
This may be why it fails to make the top 100 but no one doubts it is an unforgettable experience.
3. Co Louth
Overhauled by the great Tom Simpson (and Molly Gourlay) in 1938, Co Louth celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2017.
It is a links of serious pedigree where little has changed since Simpson's day. The routing is natural and well-balanced and the greens and green settings are sublime. It is a course for strategists.
The run of tumbling holes from 12 to 16 is one of the best in the country, with holes 4 to 8 close behind.
Some of the inland holes are flatter and are seen as being weaker, and this may explain its lack of inclusion. Important cosmetic changes are being made (a rough thinning programme most notably) and, with Simpson's name attached to three other courses in the top 100 (Cruden Bay (77), Monfontaine (45), and Ballybunion), Co Louth remains a serious contender.
4. County Sligo
Harry Colt's name is associated with many of the world's best courses… 10 of them, spanning six countries, are included in Golf magazine's top 100, with Royal Portrush, Muirfield and Pine Valley the highest ranked.
Co Sligo is another of his great courses, set out at Rosses Point.
This is Ireland's most enigmatic links with a variety of holes and shifts in terrain that no other Irish course can match… links or parkland.
Colt's greens are things of beauty yet finding them with your approach shot is always tricky. Definitely an outsider to make the top 100 but always worth a visit.
5. A links medley
The fifth course comes from one of four links as The Island, Enniscrone, Ballyliffin (Glashedy), and Carne scrap it out. Each has its merits, its beauty and its challenges. Each has big dunes, too, creating channels for holes to flow between.
Does The Island nudge it, with its first four holes pointing north, south, east, and west, and one of the best back nines around? Is it Carne, with golf played over and through the biggest dunes of any golf course, anywhere?
Then there's Enniscrone with its blind shots, quirks, and muscle? Or could Pat Ruddy's ever-popular Glashedy (and host to next year's Irish Open) take the honours?
There's also the dark horse of Dooks in Co Kerry, which will see significant changes in the years ahead, with new holes set to be laid out over 90 acres of additional linksland.
We should be ecstatic that seven courses have made the list — they help to make our island one of the globe's biggest golfing destinations — but it would be nice to have another couple, wouldn't it?
1 Pine Valley
2 Cypress Point
3 St Andrews (Old)
4 Royal County Down
5 Augusta National.

Building Scala Libraries
This guide demonstrates how to create a Scala library in the standard form using Gradle's Build Init plugin.
What you'll build
You'll generate a Scala library with the standard layout.
What you'll need
A text editor
A command prompt
The Java Development Kit (JDK), version 1.7 or higher
A Gradle distribution, version 4.10.3 or better
Check the user manual
Gradle comes with a built-in plugin called the Build Init plugin. It is documented in the Gradle User Manual. The plugin has one task, called
init, that generates the project. The
init task calls the (also built-in)
wrapper task to create a Gradle wrapper script,
The first step is to create a folder for the new project and change directory into it.
$ mkdir building-scala-libraries $ cd building-scala-libraries
Run the init task
From inside the new project directory, run the
init task with the
scala-library argument.
$ gradle init --type scala-library --package guidesamples > Task :wrapper Select build script DSL: 1: Groovy 2: Kotlin Enter selection (default: Groovy) [1..2] Project name (default: building-scala-libraries): > Task :init Get more help with your project: https://docs.gradle.org/6.0.1/userguide/scala_plugin.html BUILD SUCCESSFUL 2 actionable tasks: 2 executed
init task runs the
wrapper task first, which generates the
gradlew and
gradlew.bat wrapper scripts. Then it creates the new project with the following structure:
├── build.gradle ├── gradle │ └── wrapper (1) │ ├── gradle-wrapper.jar │ └── gradle-wrapper.properties ├── gradlew ├── gradlew.bat ├── settings.gradle └── src ├── main │ └── scala (2) │ └── guidesamples │ └── Library.scala └── test └── scala (3) └── guidesamples └── LibrarySuite.scala
|Generated folder for wrapper files
|Default Scala source folder
|Default Scala test folder
Review the generated project files
settings.gradle file is heavily commented, but has only one active line:
rootProject.name = 'building-scala-libraries' (1)
|This assigns the name of the root project.
The generated
build.gradle file also has many comments. The active portion is reproduced here (note version numbers for the dependencies may be updated in later versions of Gradle):
plugins {
id 'scala'
id 'java-library'
repositories {
jcenter() (1)
dependencies {
implementation 'org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.12.9' (2)
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12' (3)
testImplementation 'org.scalatest:scalatest_2.12:3.0.8' (4)
testRuntimeOnly 'org.scala-lang.modules:scala-xml_2.12:1.2.0' (5)
|Public Bintray Artifactory repository
|Scala version that this project will include as dependency
|JUnit testing library
|Scala testing library
|Scala XML library is required for testing
The build file adds the
scala plugin. This is an extension of the
java plugins and adds additional tasks for compiling Scala source code. It also allows for joint compilation of Scala and Java files if found in the appropriate
scala source folders.
The file
src/main/scala/Library.scala is shown here:
package guidesamples
class Library {
def someLibraryMethod(): Boolean = true
The generated Scala test suite,
src/test/scala/LibrarySuite.scala is shown next:
package guidesamples
import org.scalatest.FunSuite
import org.junit.runner.RunWith
import org.scalatest.junit.JUnitRunner
class LibrarySuite extends FunSuite {
test("someLibraryMethod is always true") {
def library = new Library()
The generated test class consists of a single Scala FunSuite. The test instantiates the
Library class, invokes the
someLibraryMethod method, and checks that the returned value is `true.
Execute the build
To build the project, run the
build task. You can use the regular
gradle command, but when a project includes a wrapper script, it is considered good form to use it instead.
$ ./gradlew build > Task :compileJava NO-SOURCE > Task :compileScala > Task :processResources NO-SOURCE > Task :classes > Task :jar > Task :assemble > Task :compileTestJava NO-SOURCE > Task :compileTestScala > Task :processTestResources NO-SOURCE > Task :testClasses > Task :test > Task :check > Task :build BUILD SUCCESSFUL 4 actionable tasks: 4 executed
The first time you run the wrapper script,
gradlew, there may be a delay while that version of
gradle is downloaded and stored locally in your
~/.gradle/wrapper/dists folder.
The first time you run the build, Gradle will check whether or not you already have the Scala, ScalaTest and JUnit libraries in your cache under your
~/.gradle directory. If not, the libraries will be downloaded and stored there. The next time you run the build, the cached versions will be used. The
build task compiles the classes, runs the tests, and generates a test report.
You can view the test report by opening the HTML output file, located at
A sample report is shown here:
Congratulations, you have just completed the step from creating a Scala library! You can can now customise this to your own project needs.
Adding API documentation
scala plugin has built-in support for Scala's API documentation tool
The code generated by the Build Init plugin already placed a comment on the
Library.scala file. Modify the comment to become Scaladoc markup.
/** This Scala source file was generated by the Gradle 'init' task.
package guidesamples
class Library {
def someLibraryMethod(): Boolean = true
Run the
scaladoc task.
$ ./gradlew scaladoc > Task :compileJava NO-SOURCE > Task :compileScala UP-TO-DATE > Task :processResources NO-SOURCE > Task :classes UP-TO-DATE > Task :scaladoc [ant:scaladoc] Element '/working-directory/building-scala-libraries/build/classes/java/main' does not exist. [ant:scaladoc] Element '/working-directory/building-scala-libraries/build/resources/main' does not exist. BUILD SUCCESSFUL 2 actionable tasks: 1 executed, 1 up-to-date
You can view the generated Scaladoc by opening the HTML file, located at
You now have a new Scala project that you generated using Gradle's build init plugin. In the process, you saw:
How to generate a Scala library
How the generated build file and sample Scala files are structured
How to run the build and view the test report
Generating API documentation.

The square is the most important tourist destination and most memorable landmark in Brussels. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site "LaGrand-Place, Brussels" since 1998. Thank you very much my friend Sylvie from Belgium, for sending me this gorgeous postcard from Brussels. The stamp is interesting too, it belongs to one booklet issued in 2012 by Bpost titled "Write each other", including Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Greek and Latin Calligraphy.

Who does not want to get a promotion? Every one of us strives at our workplaces to get promoted or to find a better job. Why don't all of us get a promotion that easily? It is probably because not all of us know what it takes for earning one. Career development is not something that people are taught in schools. That is one reason why many people are bad at using the right career development strategy. Even if you have the right skills, people fail in getting a promotion because of this problem.
But, you would stand a better chance of getting a promotion at your work now; all you need to do is to be aware of what is going wrong. Take a look at the following 6 most common mistakes that can cost you the promotion: (more…)
Many young people finish college successfully only to find that their resume doesn't have everything they need to land a job in their field. Although the job market is increasingly competitive, new graduates are advised to remember that their volunteer experience is a great thing to include when building their resume. Although traditional paid jobs are the most straightforward way to demonstrate experience to potential employers, people who volunteer on a regular basis should remember that unpaid work is a valid and helpful thing to exhibit as part of their experience history.

'Beast from the East' leads to Norfolk train cancellations, but Network Rail says NASA-grade insulation will help
PUBLISHED: 17:59 26 February 2018 | UPDATED: 18:04 26 February 2018
Rail bosses say they are using NASA-grade insulation to try to stop points from freezing during the cold snap.
Network Rail has set out its winter weather plans, with heavy snow expected across East Anglia in the next few days.
Amid warnings that some parts of the Eastern region could see up to 30cm of snow this week, engineers are to focus on keeping the main parts of the rail network open.
But Network Rail said if severe weather occurs as expected, contingency timetables will be in operation. This means there will be no services on rural routes: Norwich to Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth and Sheringham, and Ipswich to Felixstowe and Lowestoft.
Greater Anglia has cancelled more than 200 services and has been warning passengers that services will be run down by 10pm tonight, with passengers advised to complete their journeys by then.
The 9pm and 10.30pm Norwich to London Liverpool Street and 9.15pm Cambridge to Norwich services are among those cancelled.
They said a limited service would run from 7am until 10pm tomorrow and Wednesday, with no services between Norwich and Sheringham. Norwich and Great Yarmouth and Norwich and Lowestoft.
There will be a reduced service on all other routes. Passengers are advised to check how this will affect their journeys over the next few days.
But Network Rail says, in order to keep key routes as clear as possible, they have an action plan in place which includes:
• Attaching heaters and NASA-grade insulation to points to prevent ice forming
• Patrols of the tracks day and night to clear snow and ice from junctions and tunnels to help keep everything moving
• When conditions are very serious, temporary speed restrictions will be put in place for trains and teams will monitor any parts of the network at risk
• Preventative measures include installing protection from the flood water created by melting snow and sending out ice patrols to remove ice from overhead lines.
They said snow and ice can impact the railway in the following ways:
• Snow compacted by passing trains can turn into solid ice – particularly in areas where trains move slowly – and prevents points working
• Rails can freeze together which means signals stay red and trains stop
• Heavy snow can make branches break off trees, damaging overhead wires and blocking the track
• Wind can cause snow drifts of 30cm or more – in this case, trains would need to be fitted with snow ploughs to run safely
Meliha Duymaz, Network Rail's route managing director for Anglia, said: "We will be keeping a close eye on the forecast over the next few days and have contingency plans in place for the expected extreme weather.
"Our staff will be working 24/7 to keep main lines open but in order to do this we cannot keep all branch lines open.
"We understand the inconvenience this causes but the safety of our passengers and staff remains our number one priority. We will work to reopen all branch lines as soon as the weather clears."

This intriguing debut by Beth Underdown is a novel based on witch hunting prevalent in Europe during the early 17th century, and you can find it here. The story revolves around the life of a real life witch hunter Matthew Hopkins and is told to you by his sister Alice. Alice is pregnant and after the death of her husband must return to Matthew 's (her brother) house in Manningtree, which is a small village in Essex. Oh, and some of the links here go to Amazon and if you purchase anything through them we might receive a small commission.
After the sudden death of her husband, Alice is apprehensive about whether she will be welcomed in her brother's house or not. Her step-mom also had passed away recently, and Alice now has nowhere to go apart from her brother's house in Manningtree.
Both brother and sister, were close during childhood but Matthew never gave his approval to Alice's marriage with the son of a family servant and since then terms between them have not been so good. Since, Alice has nowhere to go, she makes the move and is relived to reach Thorn Inn, now owned by her brother. Matthew accepts her and allows her to stay with him at Manningtree.
Alice soon discovers many things about her brother and realises that he is not the same man she left before her marriage. After a few years Matthew had some sort of a reputation and had become a man of some influence in the area. But it was not long before Alice hears some very disturbing news about her brother's involvement in allegations revolving around witchcraft of several local women.
At first, like any sister she refused to believe any of it, but later when she herself discovers that Matthew is creating a list of other suspected women and is collecting evidence and convening trials for the same, she then understands that Matthew is a very dangerous and unpredictable man.
Beth has very beautifully depicted the uneasy or abnormal relationship between Matthew and Alice. She shows how Alice tries to defy him in small but petty things, such as by visiting her mother in law, which is against Matthew's wish or even helping the women who were being accused by Matthew for witch craft.
Beth in this novel paints a very intriguing image of Matthew that too from Alice's eyes and travels back and forth to their childhood to relate to Matthew's present. She depicts Alice as one who is trying to remember the little boy Matthew was and what he has become now. Alice then even tries to dig into their family secrets which would likely threaten her own life.
Although the book in the beginning feels a bit slow and the continuous reminiscences of Alice sometimes obstruct the flow of present moments of the story, but this subtle menace is necessary to intelligently manage the subject matter.
The fact that Beth had done a thorough research before writing this piece is appropriately depicted in the book. Even the minute details of the sounds, fragrances and the sights of 17th century England are very suggestive and enables readers to really imagine themselves in the middle of those streets.
Beth has brilliantly shown how dangerous the world was for a woman in those times. By putting Alice in the centre stage of the novel, Beth has finely worked out without violating any periodical norms and enables her heroine to discover what Matthew was actually up to.
The subject is well-researched and this historical fiction has perfectly constructed the life of Matthew Hopkins especially when not enough material is available for the same. This book is ideal for those who don't know enough about this dark period of the English history and are looking forward to know more or are interested to know more about the lives of 17th century Englishmen.
The Witchfinder's Sister Synopsis
A very clever debut, The Witch Finder's Sister is centred on the life of Matthew Hopkins, the real-life infamous witch finder of 17th century England. Very little is known about this man, but Beth via this novel has depicted this intriguing personality from the eyes of his own fictional sister Alice in a very personal way.
The Witchfinder's Sister Ending
This is a very clever novel that stay's faithful to the times and premise it portrays. In actual, people know very little about the sudden demise of this infamous witch finder and this aspect is used by Beth very intelligently. She has created a sudden twist towards the end, giving the indication that darkness is always there and you cannot get away with it.
The last part of this novel is I think its strongest part. Where Alice unwillingly starts to take part in things she had until now been describing. The ending ramps up the atmosphere and thickens the pervasive environment of oppression.
Beth Underdown
The Witch Finder's Sister is the first novel by Beth Underdown, she studied at the University of York and then shifted to University of Manchester and at present is also a lecturer in creative writing in the same University.
The Witch Finder's Sister being her first novel is based on the story of Matthew Hopkins and is pictured in and around 1640s. Her great uncle David Underdown, was the inspiration that ignited a spark in Beth to write something that revolves around seventeenth century England. David Underdown is known as one of the foremost historians of the times.
A brief and subtle mention of Matthew Hopkins in a book related to midwifery, was something that triggered an interest in Beth to write about this infamous killer.

Lights stolen from popular Hartville Nativity scene
A Christmas tradition continues Sunday in one Ozarks city, just days after thieves tried to turn out the lights.
"If we catch them, I think they should have to do community service up here and help us put it away," Karen Sinning said.
Every year since 1952 on the first Sunday of December high upon Steele Bluff in Hartville a Nativity scene shines bright.
"It's something really bright, pretty and everything and everybody really likes it," Vicki Stewart told KY3.
Speakers at the Nativity scene play classic Christmas music, which can be heard from downtown.
"It's tradition. It's community pride. It's just a good thing," Sinning added.
The Hartville Garden Club with the help of the local Lions Club, put the entire display together this year but someone had a different plan.
"We put them up on Monday and by Friday they were gone," Sinning explained.
Immediately, the community came together, buying new lights and extension cords.
Saturday afternoon, around a dozen people worked for hours to make sure the Nativity Scene could be lit by Sunday night.
Not just so people in Hartville can see it, but for those who come from miles away as tradition.
This is the 67th year for the scene.
"It was put up to be something the community could be proud of," said Sinning. "it's just something that always happens you know. We've had a lot of people come every year to see it, they don't live here any longer, and come by to see the nativity and then they put it on Facebook that they went by. It's very important to a lot of people."
The lights will come on every night at 5:30 and stay on the entire month of December.
"Everybody in Hartville pulls together. It's really a great community and whenever something needs to be done, they'll come together and do it," Stewart stated.
When the new year comes, the clubs wouldn't mind some extra hands to help take the scene down.
If you have any information on who might be responsible for the theft contact the Hartville Police Department or the Wright County Sheriff's Office.

We also give out awards from our Lunchtime Supervisors to celebrate children who have been good friends or used good manners at lunchtimes. We share attendance for each class and the winning class gets to spin the wheel of prizes. This is always a very exciting part of the assembly! Children who have achieved in their out of school activities bring in their certificates and trophies to share with the rest of the school.
Positive Notes
At the end of each assembly all members of staff hand out Positive Notes to children who have listened particularly well or made good contributions to the assembly. Children take these notes home to share with parents.
For our assembly on Remembrance Day we listened to a story about two boys called Jack and George who went to fight in the First World War. The story is below.
Martin Luther King
In assembly we've been learning about Martin Luther King. We've been thinking about our school value "We show bravery in everything we do" and how Martin Luther King was brave in standing up for what he believed in.
We linked it to our theme of anti-bullying and talked about how we should stand up for what we know is wrong. If we see someone bullying or being unkind we should tell them that it is wrong and tell a teacher.
Being Different
In our Talk Time Assembly one of our themes was based around our value of being inclusive. We read the story of Elmer and talked about fitting in and how Elmer wanted to be the same as everyone else. As we carried on the theme through the week we thought about questions such as 'has there ever been a time where you've felt different and wanted to fit in?' and 'why is it good to be different?'
