Waltonchain is a new competitor in the blockchain based B2B supply chain industry, offering a proven technology to connect supply chains and smart technology. Using RFID (radio frequency identification) that is connected to their own blockchain, Waltonchain hopes to be the backbone of the new internet of things. It seeks to accomplish this by allowing instant and trustless data exchange through a decentralized infrastructure.
Waltonchain's technology offers the ability to manage and streamline the management of supply chains using their unique child chain infrastructure. By using individually tailored and compatible side chains for each individual business, the ecosystem will be able to thrive by allowing cross chain communication and specific need based allocation of processing power.
In addition, they will utilize the use of a token to incentivize trust and participation among many businesses. The planned Waltonchain ecosystem will encompass everything from large clothing brands to smart cities, all interoperating while using their own unique blockchains and child chains connected to the main Waltonchain.
Big Industry Partnerships
Waltonchain is viewed as an exciting project to many cryptocurrency owners, and it quickly garnered a lot of attention due to big industry partnerships. On top of this, they have also already successful executed their own unique blockchain-friendly RFID technology. They have strategically made partnerships with popular Asian clothing brands in order to prove their product works, and they have successfully shown it functions correctly. The Waltonchain infrastructure has shown it is able to greatly increase the efficiency of supply chain management, and has poised itself to become a leader in the coming IoT revolution.
WTC Value, Market Cap, and Volume
Waltonchain has positioned itself as a leader in the cryptocurrency and token markets due to their highly skilled team and quick and effective implementation of a product, something most similar projects have failed to achieve. In just over 6 months, Waltonchain was able to reach a market cap of over $500 million with a trading value of over $20. The community is clearly excited about this project, but how does it work?
What is Waltonchain?
Motivated by the studies and inventions of the godfather of radio frequency identification (RFID) Charlie Watson, Waltonchain is an end-to-end supply chain solutions platform that is supported by blockchain technology. Unlike competitors such as VeChain, Waltonchain does not focus on extending its platform to adopt the coming dApp ecosystem. Instead, it is aiming to provide a well-functioning blockchain ecosystem that will help the internet of things become a reality.
RFID is widely used in modern society in credit card payments, mobile payments, data transfer, and now supply chain management in combination with blockchain technology. Experts have agreed that RFID has been a viable means of interoperability and communication between entities in the IoT, and Waltonchain has an early lead in this market.
Waltonchain is not simply aiming to help businesses with a smarter way to handle and trustlessly track their products from conception to birth. They are envisioning an ecosystem of businesses linked together through the blockchain that can seamlessly exchange data and information on a decentralized network. This type of network is required for smart city projects, a sector that Waltonchain is aiming to pioneer.
Smart Cities and RFID Technology
With smart cities, all objects would be tagged with an RFID sensor that transmits data and information to the parent chain. Businesses, parking meters, stop lights, buildings, and people can all transfer data and share information more efficiently than ever before, allowing for cities and all of their residents to operate smarter and bypass unnecessary middlemen and red tape.
RFID tags have been shown to be much more effective than the traditional barcode technology, as they do not require the line of sight for scanning and receiving information. RFID works by attaching data to a specific radio frequency that can be easily transmitted and received across great distances without needing a direct line of sight. When there are multiple physical objects that are tagged and pegged to a common blockchain, as there would be in a smart home or smart city, the communication between these entities needs to be quick and efficient in order for an ecosystem to thrive and benefit from the use of a decentralized database.
For example, an RFID is created for every product in a particular supply chain, and data concerning it is then stored on the blockchain. This particular data can be easily accessed during warehousing as well as throughout the transportation and sales processes. These RFID's and the associated data can be utilized to keep track of the products life cycle in the store, while at the same time keeping track of clients' habits and their distinctive preferences. In turn, this direct access to a decentralized hub as well the implementation of AI and big data processing can greatly streamline manufacturing processes and maximize efficiency, allowing businesses to work smarter, not harder.
Child Chain Technology
One of the distinguishing factors that has propelled Waltonchain to the forefront of the space is their adoption of sidechain functionality, and the development of their unique child chain technology. In order for Waltonchain to support multiple ecosystems of smart cities and smart organizations, they understood the need for both interoperability and customization. While each of these setups would be similar, they would all have unique characteristics that need specific features.
So, Waltonchain created child chains that could be made specifically for each organization that connects to their ecosystem. These side chains deload the network for scalability and allow for communication between both each other and the main Walton blockchain. This technology is important because it would allow not only for smart cities to function at peak efficiency due to the pliable nature of each child chain, but it also would allow for smart cities to easily communicate. On a decentralized blockchain, this would make data transfer, business deals, commerce, and more much easier due to the many benefits blockchain offers.
Waltoncoin (WTC)
At the core of the Waltonchain infrastructure lies their digital coin, the Waltoncoin (WTC). This coin is essential for the proper functioning of the platform, as it is what is used to moderate and monetize the communication between chains. The coin's most important functions are the issuance of sub-chains to partners, credit and mortgages applications, and a decentralized exchange. In order for chains to communicate with each other, WTC must be exchanged.
The creation of each chain and its activity will result in the need for WTC and its use. As the ecosystem continues to grow, these businesses and platforms will expend a growing amount of WTC to create all kinds of child chains. Thus, the demand for WTC will rise according to the continued adoption of the technology. With a fixed supply 100 million coins, this will result in the value to continue to rise.
Waltonchain is a big project with even bigger aspirations. Smart cities are a massive undertaking that require rock solid scalability and infrastructure. Waltonchain has shown that they can use RFID to completely renovate the supply chain processes for retail giants and allow them to function more cheaply and more efficiently. The future of Waltonchain looks bright, as China has already begun the planning for over 7 smart cities throughout their country. If Waltonchain can maintain their product and definitively prove that they can scale and provide the immense back end of a smart city, then they will be poised to become one of the technological leaders of the near future.

What an amazing week of weather in Southwest Florida. Three days ago we were staring down the barrel of Tropical Storm Isaac. Now the storm appears headed to some unfortunate section of the Gulf Coast. As I write we're enjoying breezy conditions and light rain. It's supposed to get worse as the day wears on but I doubt we're going to get much of anything.
I always enjoy tropical storms as it brings relief to the usually dead calm and massive humidity that grips Southwest Florida in the summer. But Wednesday and Thursday night served up two of the best evenings in terms of running weather I can ever remember at this time of the year. It felt more like mid-spring with just a hint of humidity and a nice, fresh breeze, that made running a joy. I actually felt a lightness in my legs for the first time since my efforts to begin training since my injury problems started back in May.
By Friday the humidity began to return with a vengeance and Saturday's run was downright miserable as I plodded out 6 miles in miserable conditions. But Sunday dawned with Isaac providing a nice breath to my surroundings as I headed out the door for a 40 minute run. Somehow I managed to avoid the rain but it was tropical storm running at its best. The breezy conditions kept me on my toes as I watched up for falling palm frowns and other debris. I actually trotted along at sub-10 minute pace. It seems my legs and stamina are beginning to return.
I spent my post run time putting away things that could fly away in the wind and settled down to wait. I've got to head into work at 2 a.m. for a 12 hour shift. I suspect I'm going to be bored out of my skull and I'm hoping my boss will call off the dogs in the next 4 hours or so. This is going to be a non-event. At worst we'll see some coastal flooding and a few power outages. Heck, I haven't even dropped my hurricane shutters!

Semester in Salamanca, Spain
- Designed for Spanish majors and minors to complete several upper-level Spanish language courses in one semester
- Spend the spring semester in Salamanca, Spain
- Live with a host family to improve conversation and language skills
- Open to students who have completed SPAN 324 and SPAN 328
- Dr. Robert A. Granberg Memorial Scholarship available. See Further Reading below for more information
The Salamanca program is designed for Spanish majors and minors seeking a spring semester study abroad program in Spain. The program is especially attractive to students entering the major or minor because it's the only program where students can earn SPAN 340 abroad. In order to allow maximum flexibility for students of various majors while providing opportunities for students to reach their language learning goals, the program consists of foundation courses plus electives. In addition to academics, the program also has several excursions included so students can better understand Spanish history and culture. The Department of Spanish and Portuguese and Study Abroad & Global Engagement have created this program especially for KU students by partnering with IES Abroad, a study abroad program provider who has offered programs in Salamanca for more than 25 years.
Located in northwestern Spain, Salamanca's history dates back to medieval times and is closely tied to the University. UNESCO declared the city center a World Heritage Site and Salamanca was a European Capital of Culture in 2002. Salmantinos proudly declare the Plaza Mayor one of the most beautiful in Spain and other architectural marvels such as the Catedral Vieja (built in the 12th century) and the Catedral Nueva (built in the 16th century) can be seen. Train and bus connect Salamanca to major urban centers in Spain, Portugal, and the rest of Europe. This vibrant university city has many restaurants, museums, and cultural sites of interest.
Universidad de Salamanca
The Universidad de Salamanca (USAL), founded in 1218, is considered one of the oldest Spanish universities. USAL has approximately 30,000 students and because it is one of the top-ranked universities in Spain, it attracts students from all over Spain, Europe, and the rest of the world. Students can take courses in anthropology, art, biology, business, chemistry, economics, education, history, law, linguistics, literature, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology. There is a two course minimum at USAL.
Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca
The Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca (UPSA) is a private university with around 4,000 students located just a few minutes from the center of Salamanca. Students can take classes in journalism, psychology, education, humanities, and theology.
IES Abroad Center
The IES Abroad Center is in the heart of the city and has a library, computers for students to share, wireless internet, and a writing center. Additionally, local Spanish students volunteer as orientation leaders and mentors and help students become familiar with Salamanca by explaining the university systems and enrollment processes to those students who enroll in USAL or UPSA courses and organizing activities such as dinners, bicycle tours, movie nights, etc.
The Salamanca program is a 12-credit program. Students who wish to take additional credits will be charged the corresponding tuition. All students will work closely with the IES Abroad Center staff to enroll in classes and will take a language placement test.
All students will take the two foundation courses at the IES Abroad Center:
- Grammar course-SPAN 424 (3 credits) + SPAN 370 (1 credit) or SPAN 520 (3 credits) + SPAN 474 (1 credit)
- Conversation course-SPAN 428 or SPAN 470 (2 credits)
Additionally, students will be in one of two tracks and take two additional courses.
Advanced Track
Pre-requisite: SPAN 324/328
- SPAN 340: Textual Analysis and Critical Reading at the IES Abroad Center with KU students as classmates (3 credits).
- One elective course at either the IES Abroad Center or UPSA (3 credits).
Superior Track
Pre-requisite: SPAN 340
- Two elective courses (6 credits).
- Possible course enrollments include two courses at USAL, two courses at UPSA, two courses at the IES Abroad Center, or one course at UPSA and one course at the IES Abroad Center.
Elective courses are offered at three institutions:
- IES Abroad Center- Courses are taught by IES Abroad faculty and classmates are students from other U.S. institutions.
- Universidad de Salamanca (USAL)- Courses are taught by university faculty and classmates are Spaniards and international students. There is a minimum enrollment of two courses at USAL.
- Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca (UPSA)- Courses are taught by university faculty and classmates are Spaniards and international students.
Students are encouraged to use the following resources to research available courses on the Salamanca program and to determine if these courses will meet their academic requirements at KU.

What where the motivating factors for your choosing to go into academia?
I grew up in New York City, and I was a curious young man, interested in various things of the world. The atmosphere in the 1950s was political because of McCarthyism and I grew up in a kind of Socialist-oriented community. So, I had a kind of childhood that was already fairly alert to larger problems in the world. Like a lot of bright young kids I was good at math and I went to Stuyvesant High School, which is a public high school with a competitive exam. It was a high school where we were very committed to science and math. So, I had a public high school education but of a terrific sort. It was all boys which, given how immature we all were, made life easier. I had a kind of exposure to and enjoyment of very intense thinking in particular in mathematics but there were also literature courses and what have you. I was also in an intellectual milieu in which, in that part of NYC (i.e. Queens), there was a summer camp in which, believe it or not, we even had a philosophy counselor that would bore us with Ludwig Wittgenstein at a young age.
The idea that I was moving into sophisticated, intense, political and intellectual activity from a fairly young age in New York was unusual at least up to a certain point. It may have been unusual in many other places in America but less so there. Also for whatever reasons, I have never been very clear about this, I was a fan of Paris from a very young age. Certainly by high school and actually even before I was reading French literature and philosophy, and obviously that interest has stayed with me.
I had a choice between going to Columbia University or the University of Chicago. I met some friends of my parents that had gone to Chicago and I liked them a lot. They were very intense, bohemian and very active politically and intellectually, and it struck me that if that was what was coming out of Chicago then that was exciting. So I went to Chicago, although my parents wanted me to stay in NY. Chicago was an incredibly advanced intellectual place that suited me extremely well, and it is where I earned my B.A. and Ph.D.
The University of Chicago is one of the main universities in the U.S. that had a very structured curriculum. They assumed that they knew better than the students what the students should learn, at least for several years, that you were capable of learning anything, and that learning shouldn't be overly specialized. We also had a very broad and rigorous exposure to many things in the world and I liked that a lot. For instance, there was a required non-Western civilization course (this is in the early '60s) and so I took the Indian civilization course, which was taught by multiple people: anthropologists, historians, sanskritists, lawyers, and others. Hence the idea that first of all the world is global and that multiple disciplines had to contribute to an understanding of any important phenomena was there all the way through for me. My main philosophical training was with a man called Richard McKeon. He was the dean of Humanities and a famous Aristotle scholar with a particular approach to the history of philosophy. It was very intimidating and rigorous but I found it to be extremely challenging and exciting, both as a pedagogic style and understanding what the history of philosophy was going to be. On both levels it was something I carried forward with me to the rest of my life.
On the other hand, I didn't want to spend my life in the library arguing about philosophic ideas with other philosophers! So I majored in anthropology for which at that point and for many years to come the University of Chicago was arguably the most exciting place to be. Anthropology at Chicago had a strong social theory component to it (this is again in the 1960s). I worked closely with a number of people. Bernard Cohn, who worked on India, where I was originally thinking of going, was a wonderful teacher, a very wonderful man. And then Clifford Geertz, my advisor, who was a brilliant fellow but a kind of an awkward human being. In any case, that's how I got to Morocco.
The idea that there was this inherent complementarity between the history of philosophy, the basic questions of philosophy, and actually going out into the world and engaging experientially in situations seemed to me not in conflict. Certainly, it is not how the philosophic disciplines have developed, that's not what they do, which seems to be an impoverishment.
So, that's one version of the basic formation. I should add that I took my doctoral exams as an undergraduate in Chicago, for a variety of reasons, so they were obliged to let me into the graduate program which they had not done previously for Chicago undergraduates. We made a deal that they would take me into the graduate program if I went to Paris for a year. Which was one of those offers you can't refuse. This was 1965-66. I went to Paris and I sat in the seminars of Claude-Levi Strauss, Louis Dumont, and also the lectures of Jean Hyppolite at the Collège de France. Jean Hyppolite was one of the Foucault's mentors, I found out later. The French connections in all of this are continued all the way though my work.
Who would you consider to be your mentors in graduate school, and were there some lessons you learned from them that you would like to share?
The thing that was powerfully impressive about the University of Chicago was the complementary influence of tradition and new pedagogy from Robert Hutchins; what really mattered was the approach to learning and the curriculum as much as any of the individual professors. The single biggest influence on me as an undergraduate was Richard McKeon. He was a very stern, tough teacher but it wasn't just him. It was the whole structure of the college. There was a very strong sense that there were objective questions in the world and that he taught us very rigorously how to read texts in a structured and incisive manner. As opposed to other educational experiences in America today the game was not how clever your interpretation could be but being in awe and then attempting some degree of mastery, whether it was Aristotle or Spinoza, before you had any opinion about it.
That was the very discipline that suited me, on the one hand. On the other hand, there was the experiential side of research that I found in anthropology. My main influence Bernard Cohn, Barney as we called him, was a pretty warm fellow. He taught history of anthropology. That was very influential. I would not say per se that I had a direct mentor, that is, except for the institutions. Stuyvesant High School and the University of Chicago were ultimately my mentors more than individual people. I have the same kind of relationship with Foucault. That is to say, I learned a great deal from him. I was fascinated, intrigued and challenged, but that wasn't per se a kind of individual relationship of that sort. Rather, he was someone that combined deep philosophical questions with a very impressive empirical research, and that seemed to be missing from most if not all of the philosophy. It gave a critical edge to all of the anthropology in which I was interested.
Behind all of this there is John Dewey who was given a lot of lip service in Chicago and his thinking was very influential in much of what was going on. It was only recently that I really returned to Dewey and I have been seeing a lot of connections but I think that, at some level, American pragmatism is very strong in my work. Especially in that there is no real separation between conceptual work and experience. (...)

Tar Sands Oil Boom Drives Push for A Northern Pipeline
Ed Struzik, Yale Environment 360, 29 Nov 2013

Why Americans need to be more grateful to Canada.
Why Americans should love Canadian oil
Stephen Kelly, Globe and Mail, Feb. 29, 2012
As Alberta's Premier makes her rounds in the United States this week to sell the oil sands, she might want to capitalize on the current American preoccupation with gasoline prices, which have soared more than 20 per cent in parts of the country since mid-December.
Is Venezuela on the cusp of a post-Chavez oil boom?
Steve LeVine, Foreign Policy, February 22, 2012
If Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is forced to drop his bid for re-election for health reasons, will the primary repercussion for the West be the exit of a voluble thorn in the side? Perhaps, but it will also mean the prospect of yet more newly available oil reserves -- on top of the widely projected U.S. shale oil bonanza. The takeaway: If the shale oil projections are accurate, and Chavez leaves politics under whatever scenario, we have the prospect of a geopolitical shakeup analogous to what has accompanied the rise of shale gas.
A Chavez-less Venezuela should worry Alberta

The government is enthusiastically supporting fossil fuel companies to explore for and extract oil and gas from Irish waters. This is a very dangerous policy for many reasons. Here are some of the main reasons why we oppose offshore drilling.
We need to keep it in the ground
The maths is clear: if we want to stop global temperatures rising to catastrophic levels, we can only burn 20% of the world's known fossil fuel reserves. A lot of the known fossil fuel reserves are already being extracted. We cannot afford to start building rigs and pipelines to extract even more. And we definitely cannot afford to look for even more fossil fuels. But that is exactly what the Irish government and companies like Providence Resources are trying to do. This policy is based on a world where we do not manage to keep global warming below 2 degrees, a world which will be much harsher to live in, for people in Ireland and all around the world.
Offshore drilling harms marine life and existing jobs
Recent research has shown that the process of offshore drilling is hugely harmful for marine life. When exploring for oil and gas, fossil fuel companies use a technique called sonic booming. Sonic booming is lethal to plankton, which provide food for larger fish. It also causes internal bleeding in large sea animals like whales and dolphins. Oil wells emit toxic chemicals into the seas and contamination from oil spills can reach coastlines up to 600 miles away.
The Irish fishing industry supports 11,000 jobs in mostly rural areas. Fishing communities have observed decreased fish stocks following offshore drilling. Further fossil fuel extraction will threaten Ireland's valuable seafood industry.
Tourism employs 220,000 people and provides €7.8 billion to the Irish economy. Much of this tourism is based on our beautiful natural environment, including our seas and coastlines. Marine animals like Fungie are also a major draw for tourists. Allowing offshore drilling threatens our beautiful natural environment, and the thousands of jobs that rely on it.
The people won't gain from offshore drilling
Ireland has one of the most pro-corporate drilling policies in Europe. The state gains very little in tax from any offshore drilling projects. Fossil fuel companies do not have to sell the oil and gas they find to Irish consumers, nor do they have to sell it to us at a cheaper price than the oil and gas we currently buy from other countries. And in reality, fossil fuel exploration in Ireland has been costly and unproductive. Fossil fuel companies use offshore drilling as speculation to boost their share prices, even though chances of actually finding oil or gas are slim. This speculation threatens marine life, our coastal landscapes and the fishing and tourism industries that rely on them. Oil and gas will not benefit the Irish people, only the profit margins of fossil fuel companies like Providence Resources.
Offshore drilling will delay our energy transition
We all know that we need to transition as fast as we can away from fossil fuels and towards community-owned, renewable energies. While we still need oil and gas in the short term, exploiting new fossil fuel resources is not the way to do this. Once we start relying on one energy source, it will be very difficult to switch to another. As long as the government can base its energy policy on the unlikely chance of finding oil and gas in Irish waters, it will have no incentive to invest in renewable energies (an industry that currently employs over 2,000 people – the gas industry employs 175). We are already facing fines of €455 million for failing to meet our emission reduction targets. Relying on Irish oil and gas will hinder our emission reduction plans even further. Instead we need to focus on moving towards a fossil free future.

Balance Winemakers Selection Chenin Blanc (case of 6)
Regular price
Wine Description
To create this wine our winemaker selected only the most exceptional fruit, grown in prime vineyard blocks. This medium bodied wine shows a beautiful melange of guava, passion fruit with a hint of citrus.
The vineyards lies in deep red soils ensuring excellent water-retention and adding structure and fullness to the wines.
Winemaking Techniques
Cold skin maceration was carried out for six hours, juice then fermented in stainless steel tanks for three weeks at 12°C. Wine was left in the tanks on the lees where batonage was applied for a week. Wine was then racked and left on the fine lees till bottling.
Vintage Conditions
The 2016 harvest was significantly smaller than the past three years, which were characterised by record harvests. Most warmer regions also saw a later than usual finish to the harvesting period. The smaller crop sizes ensured greater concentration of fruit present in the berries which resulted in more flavourful wines.
Food Pairing
Goes well with oysters, seared tuna, pasta with a rich gorgonzola sauce and quiche.

Race Relations Amended Act 2000 (Race Equality).
Disability Discrimination Act 2005 (Disability Act).
Equality Act 2006 (Gender Equality).
From April 2011 all public bodies have been under a new duty, the 'Public Sector Equality Duty'.
The duty requires all public bodies including schools to demonstrate 'due regard' has been given to the 'General Duty' contained in the Equality Act 2010.
On the 10th September 2011 The Equality Act (Specific Duties) came into force.
These specific duties will assist public bodies to perform their 'Public Sector Equality Duty', requiring them to publish relevant, proportionate information showing compliance with the Equality Duty, and to set equality objectives.
Schools had to publish this information by April 2012.
Public Sector Equality Duty
The act contains a general duty known as the public sector equality duty in which a public body (this includes schools) must give due regard to the need to:
Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under this Act; by removing or minimising disadvantages suffered by people due to their protected characteristic
Advance equality of opportunity between different groups/people, who share a relevant protected characteristics and groups/people who do not; by taking steps to meet the needs of people from protected groups where these are different from the needs of other people
Foster good relations between different groups/people who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it; by encouraging people from protected groups to participate in public life or in other activities where their participation is disproportionately low.
Specific Duties
To be able to fulfil the three aims of the general duty, schools and local authorities have been given two sets of specific duties:
1) To publish information which demonstrates compliance with the duty and to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination and harassment, advance equality and foster good relations. This should include what has been achieved as a result
Equality Act Information Students – May 2017
2) To prepare and publish specific and measurable objectives which will be pursued over the coming years 4 years to achieve Equality aims i.e.
To ensure equality is effectively integrated into induction for staff and students
To provide opportunities for students to share their religion and culture
To further develop strategies to promote effective student gender equality

Children are sensitive to divorce and changes in their lives. The last thing any parent should do is put them in the middle of a conflict. Unfortunately, some parents do this by having their children inform their other parent about activities or thoughts that they have.
Even if it's something as simple as, "Mom told me to tell you she can't pick me up next week," it's a problem. Children should never be the messenger in divorce, especially with situations where it could negatively affect or frustrate the other parent.
If you can't use your children to inform the other parent of changes to custody or to give them other messages, what can you do?
There are lots of options for communicating without getting your children involved. One of the best ways to talk is to update each other with emails or letters, since these are on paper and easy to refer to if you ever need to do so.
Another option is to communicate through text or voicemails. Similar to the above, it's easy when you can refer back to the statements you made, so that you can plan or use the documentation in court if you have to in the future.
While some parents might send a letter or sticky note with information back home with their children, it's usually better to hand it off directly. The goal is to avoid having your children know about any conflicts you might have. You don't want to end up having them associated with giving the other parent bad news, either.
Should you communicate on the phone or in person?
If you have a comfortable relationship with your child's other parent, then talking in person might be a no brainer. Not everyone can interact without conflict, so your mileage may vary with this technique. One reason to avoid bringing up important things in person is that there is no paper trail.
If you do plan to discuss changes in custody, bring a document with you as well, so the parent can get a paper copy of a new schedule or request. It's an easy way to avoid conflicts as a result of forgotten changes and to prove that the other parent received written notice of requests.
Copy any requests you make or save them, so you can use them if there is ever a custody dispute in court. This is a great benefit for you if the need arises.

"The first obstacle is the terminology most writers use to think about story. Terms like "rising action," "climax," "progressive complication," and "denouement," terms that go as far back as Aristotle, are so broad and theoretical as to be almost meaningless. Let's be honest: they have no practical value for storytellers.
I quite like the way John Truby phrases this in his book, The Anatomy of Story. It reminds me of my favorite rule of writing: "Everything is a rule… until it isn't."
I think the thing I enjoy the most about Truby's book so far is the way he breaks down the problems with traditional schools of thought when it comes to writing, and how, as he puts it, "a mechanical view of a story… inevitably leads to episodic storytelling. An episodic story is a collection of pieces, like parts stored in a box. Events in the story stand out as discrete elements and don't connect or build steadily from beginning to end. The result is a story that moves the audience sporadically, if at all."
Truby goes on to state that "just as many writers have a mechanical view of what a story is, they use a mechanical process for creating one… the result: a hopelessly generic, formulaic story devoid of originality."
Enough quoting (for now) - let's discuss what Truby is saying here. While Truby used a screenplay for his example, I'll dive into my favorite genre of literature: fantasy.
I'm sure all the fans of fantasy have seen the lists. What lists, you ask? Well, the list of "Ways to Tell you Are in a High Fantasy Novel"1, "The Eight Character Archetypes of the Hero's Journey"2, or even "6 Signs You're Not the Main Character"3. These often humorous lists are ways in which fans acknowledge tropes in their favorite genre. When Truby talks about a mechanical process, these are the kind of things he's speaking of.
For example, what makes a book a fantasy book? Well, in general:
- There is magic and/or magical creatures
That's it. There are a lot of subgenres, though, so once again I'll stick to what I know. So, what makes a book a "high" fantasy? What "defines" the genre?
- There is magic
- There are magical races (usually elves, dwarves, orcs, etc)
- It takes place in an alternate (typically medieval) realm
- The protagonist is a hero
- The protagonist is on a great quest to defeat an evil
The high fantasy genre was established back with Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings series, which is why most of the "qualifiers" are from his books. So say that you decide you want to create a high fantasy novel, and you decide you need to follow all the rules of the genre. You make a hero who is on a quest to defeat a great evil, in a fantasy realm where magic and magical races abound.
How many stories can you name with that plot?
(Here's a hint - mine's one of them. Hey - I'm honest.)
None of these things are bad on their own - something I like to say is that cliches are cliches for a reason - they work. But the problem comes in when a story relies solely on cliches and adds nothing original. Cliches are not a story - they're parts of a story. A "collection of pieces", if you will. Things such as "the hero gets the girl" - there have long been criticisms of this trope, usually because no time is devoted to developing the relationship between the protagonist and their love interest. No one minds that "the hero gets the girl" - they just want it to mean something.
As Truby stated, having the hero get the girl just because he's supposed to won't move an audience - not without proper build up from the beginning of the story.
So how do you write a high fantasy novel without following convention? It's a genre because of the similarities in the stories in it, and if that's the kind of story you want to write, how do you write a specific genre without falling back on a set of rules?
Well, I'll tell you what I did, and then we'll go back to Truby for his advice. I'll also throw in a breakdown of another author in the same genre, Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn, as I and many other would consider him, as Truby phrases it, a "master storyteller".
- There is magic
- Ok, well how does it work? By setting up unique rules for how the magic in your fantasy setting works, rather than leaving it vague - even if it isn't explained to the reader - you're differentiating your magic from the magic someone throws in who just adds magic because it's supposed to be there. I actually have an entire document breaking down how magic works in Magdra, and it does follow a specific set of rules to work the way it does. There is a little explanation in the books so far, but I don't (at the moment) have any time when I pause to go into a long complicated discussion on how magic works. You can tell there are rules just by how the characters interact, though.
- Brandon Sanderson - in Mistborn (I'm only going to discuss the first novel as far as I remember it), magic also has a particular set of rules. Characters that have magic need to eat metal to "fuel" their powers - alternatively, another set of characters can store power in metal (usually jewelry), but the fact remains that a component is needed for magic to work. It is also shown that only particular individuals can use magic - which is not explained in the first book, but the reader can tell there is an explanation. By setting up these unique rules (and the puzzles they add to the story), Sanderson creates something unique out of a convention.
- There are magical races
- Well, I tried to stay away from "traditional" fantasy races - elves, dwarves, orcs, etc - but they did in some form end up in the story. Where they do exist, so also do other, nontraditional (though not entirely unique) races exist. I tried to create societies around these races that differed from normal fantasy races - I put the elves in a swamp and made them anthropomorphic frogs, I made "dwarves" extremely tall, I have harpies that are obsessed with love, and deertaurs as opposed to centaurs.
- Brandon Sanderson - Mistborn is a lackluster example of magical races, but in Sanderson's other works he includes entirely original races not found in other fantasy stories.
- It takes place in an alternate realm
- I tried to include cultures that were inspired by non-Western medieval countries, which is what many fantasy stories do. I have entire pages on each country as well, while still not detracting to tell the reader all about every single on in detail. Many of the countries are inspired by real world places, which is something I hope to move away from in the future, but others are their own creation devoid of such inspiration.
- Brandon Sanderson - the world of Mistborn is wholly different from the "standard" high fantasy world. It contains few countries, and is not based on any real world location. It is still not our own world, but it not a world based on convention, either.
- The protagonist is a hero
- Allaha is the protagonist of my story, and throughout she follows a strict moral code and is, in fact, a hero. However, throughout the story, she runs into more morally gray situations, and sometimes has to make hard decisions that may not necessarily be "right". She also has to deal with more personal issues, such as her relationship with her family and her faith - complications that help separate her from other heroes in the same genre.
- Brandon Sanderson - Vin is the protagonist of Mistborn, and is a bit more of a classic hero story. She is a street urchin that is blessed with great power, brought under the wing of a wise mentor. However, Sanderson takes the time to develop Vin's personality, her likes and dislikes, and also has her run into morally gray situations and have to make tough decisions. Flaws are often the saving graces of fantasy heroes - when they have them, they feel more relatable.
- The protagonist is on a quest to defeat a great evil
- My "twist" on this is that unlike other stories, my hero has no idea what evil she faces or how to stop it. In fact, the first book is all her and her companions trying to find answers to these questions. Usually the quest a hero undergoes in a story is straightforward - go get this evil-stopping weapon, go to this place for evil-stopping power, stop the evil before it happens by sealing it with this ritual which requires etc etc etc. Making the quest more complicated, or the path to victory harder to visualize, the quest becomes less by the numbers.
- Brandon Sanderson - ok, this man is a master of foreshadowing, so I can't really explain without giving away spoilers. If you've read the books, however, you likely know that you will not see the endings of his books coming.
So using my own work and the work of a celebrated author, I've shown how you can write for a specific genre without making your story exactly like every other story in the same genre. So let's see what Truby has to say on the subject of writing stories without following a mechanical process.
Truby's goals to his readers are that he will:
- Show that a great story is organic - not a machine but a living body that develops
- Treat storytelling as an exacting craft with precise techniques that will help you be successful, regardless of the medium or genre you choose
- Work through a writing process that is also organic, meaning that we will develop characters and plot that grow naturally out of your original story idea
One of my personal favorite phrases that Truby uses here is that "your characters seem to be acting on their own, as they must, even though you are the one making them act that way". I like this phrase because as many writers and avid readers know, many great authors will tell you that their characters do act on their own. I myself have changed parts of my stories because my characters derailed my intentions, and oftentimes to authors their characters feel like real people, just as they do to the readers.
In the next part of this series, I'll get more into the processes Truby discusses - well, as much as I can without giving the book away.

She used to purr when she leaped onto the bed;
I prefer to think of her arrivals.
I could read her expressions through the fur:
glad to see me (and usually was):
relaxed eyelids, fur sleek off the face;
impatient with my stupidity:
staring at me, legs rigidly apart, lips wide;
angry that I forgot she was outside:
plenty of carping criticism at me as she walks by;
Time for sleep:
lots of purring, rolled over against me.
She says none of that now,
takes her well-earned rest
in that little grave near the cottage
on the island where she found us:
lost, so many years ago.

This continuously updated registry lists world record shell sizes (given in mm). The 15th edition contains over 8,000 changes since the last edition, for a total of over 22,600 records.
Size continues to be an issue among shell collectors and researchers. Though some may view this project as a competition of sorts, it remains the goal of the Registry of World Record Size Shells to provide collectors, researchers, and students of malacology and conchology with a single source document for the maximum (and, in some cases, the minimum) adult size attainable by shell- bearing marine molluscan species of the world. Some families, although shell producing, have been omitted because of subjectivity in obtaining reproducible measurements of species contained within those families.
The scope of the Registry is purposely limited to data intended as support information for each species entered. Categories selected for inclusion are based on, but not limited to, those included in past publications by other authors of similar works. Additional categories not included in earlier publications have been added to this issue of the Registry based on the areas of interest most often expressed by readers and reviewers.
The alphabetic format for the Registry was selected for its ease of use by the widest possible and audience. Taxonomic placement of entries under respective families is based on A Classification of the Living Mollusca and Bouchet & Rocroi, 2006. It is not the intent of the Registry to propose correct taxonomic placement or dispute synonymies, although a concerted effort has been made to make the information contained in the Registry conform to currently published opinion.

The Sherman is just as advertised everywhere. Killer flavor is what vaping is all about for me, and all my favorite e-juices are on point in this tank. The price point was worth it to me considering that I spent a lot more a few years ago to buy the good ol' russian rba, and this tank has much better airflow and even better flavor than that did. Now I just need to save up to get that cthulhu mod because i like the matching ultem colors it has.
