Self-publishing News: What's In Store
Self-Publishing News
The big literary event of the week for me was the year's first Oxford Professor of Poetry lecture, an event that happens just three times a year. The title was the wonderfully tempting "Poetry and the Underworld: Access All Areas", and Simon Armitage took us on a wonderful exploration of the poet's conversation with death. It was one of those times when I felt as though both (OK, two of) my lives sat comfortably together. As both poet and indie I have the same remit – to go to the places other writers will not. And OK, I know 2016 will always be "the year we don't mention" but as I write about poets communing with the dead, the big kahuna himself shuffles off the mortal coil. Stop the clocks. There's a crack in everything/ that's how the light gets in. Goodbye, beautiful man, we're all so glad you didn't take all your beautiful words with you.
It's strange the way most weeks there feels like a theme dominating the news, and this week the overwhelming theme is bookstores. The biggest of this week's stories is the partnership between America's second-largest bookstore chain Books a Million and Silicon Valley self-publishing company Fast Pencil. The team-up allows BAM! Publish, the publishing platform for Books a Million, to offer subscribers to its premium packages placement on the shelves of its stores. It's not wholly dissimilar to schemes Barnes and Noble have recently introduced, but with these packages starting at $1,799 authors who want to be everywhere could soon find budgets running out of control. If you are interested to know more, BAM! Publish features in the latest updates to ALLi's Services Watchdog.
Also in bookstores
London's Libreria, one of a growing number of concept stores that provide a fascinating opportunity for indies.
Audiobooks are the one sector of the publishing market everyone agrees is on the up and up, and after a few weeks of anticipation, audiobook producer Libro.fm has announced a deal with the American Booksellers' Association that will allow indie bookstores to sell its books and take a commission. Another thing we hear a lot about are so-called "concept stores" (apparently Barnes and Noble's bookshop + restaurant thing was out there enough to merit the title. Who'd have thought). I particularly enjoyed Publishing Perspectives' look this week at the growth of so-called "small concept" stores in South Korea. These are stores that are highly curated, often themed, and whose books are part of a wider experience. I've always found it strange that when retail has been thriving through increasing specialism, many bookstores have been rushing to offer as much of everything as their shelf space will allow. Ditching that aim is leading to some really exciting spaces, and ones that are particularly amenable to indies. In the UK, for example, Libreria, nestling off Brick Lane, arranges books by philosophical theme and has a printing press in the basement.
Subscription Services and BookBub Survey
Amazon's big move this week has been to roll out Kindle Unlimited in Australia. Even more directly affecting indies is the start-up of Palatium, a global subscription service that will focus entirely on curated indie books. With advances being offered for selected titles, I'll be watching this, and the criteria for curation, with a keen interest. Meanwhile, BookBub have launched a survey to ask what people would like to see on its marketing blog. If you have questions you always wanted to ask them, now is your time to pitch them directly.
ALLi Watchdog Update
It's been another busy week for ALLi's Services Watchdog, and the following have all been added to the ratings page: Dog Ear Publishing, Outskirts Press, Barbara Bauer Literary Agency, Reviewers for Books, BAM! Publish
My poetry is pretty much always written longhand
NaNoWriMo has been sparking some interesting conversations about how we write, the practical perils of longhand and computer writing, and which method is most effective. So I was delighted to come across this post that looks at the ways in which how we write changes the words we use and the style we adopt.

PREMIER LEAGUE stars have praised AC Milan's Kevin Prince-Boateng for walking off the pitch after suffering racist abuse.
The former Portsmouth and Tottenham midfielder led his team-mates into the dressing-room after being subjected to monkey chants from rival fans during a friendly today.
Officials and opposition players from Italian fourth division side Pro Patria also joined the 25-year-old in his anti-racism action.
And the Ghana international has been hailed for his stand by both Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand and Stoke striker Michael Owen.
Ferdinand, a prominent anti-racism campaigner, wrote on Twitter: "If the stories about KPB walking off the pitch with teammate's after being racially abused are true, fair play to him..well done #UefaStandUp"
Owen also applauded Boateng, before slamming football bosses for not taking anti-racism measures more seriously.
"That Prince Boatang footage from the Milan game is shocking. Shame it takes a player to do that instead of the authorities being proactive," he wrote.

Academics and Research / Magazine Feature
Women's College to host internationally known business lecturer
By Kim DeVigil
Donna Fenn, an internationally known writer and lecturer on entrepreneurship, will discuss "Women in Entrepreneurship: the Changing Face of Business" at the University of Denver.
Fenn's 2005 book, Alpha Dog, lays out eight strategies for becoming "leader of the pack." The strategies include innovation, customer service, branding, employee engagement, alliances, use of technology, community connections and reinvention. Fenn also authored Upstarts! How GenY Entrepreneurs are Rocking the World of Business.
According to Lynn Gangone, Women's College dean, the event brings attention to the significant role women entrepreneurs play in driving both local and national economies.
"Women are starting businesses in record numbers across the nation, and Denver has the second largest percentage of women-owned start-ups in the country," Gangone says. "As a result, we feel it is essential that the Women's College provide both its students and women in the community with the educational resources, critical information and connections to become successful leaders and entrepreneurs."
The Women's College will sponsor the talk with the Center for the Advancement of Business Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Women and the Public Service Credit Union.
"An Evening with Donna Fenn" will take place from 5:30–7:30 p.m. Oct. 27 at DU's Katherine A. Ruffatto Hall. The event is free and open to the public, although a suggested donation of $25 is requested to support the Women's College Scholarship Fund. For more information, contact Ashley Beaudry at ashley.beaudry@du.edu. To RSVP, visit www.alumni.du.edu/fenn.

Q: Taylor Series and equation I have this equation:
$$960 - 84.60 \cdot \frac{1-(1+i)^{-12}}{i} = 0$$
I simplify $( 1+i)^{-12}$ with a Taylor series $( 1 + x)^a$.
but I obtain $i = 0.087201167$ but the real result should be $i = 0.00753$ (approximately).
P.S.: My solution
$$( 1 + i)^{-12} = 1 - 12i + 78i^2 + 364i^3 $$
Then:
$$1 -(1+i)^{-12} = 12i - 78i^2 + 364i^3$$
Then I collect i and I simplify so I obtain:
$$960 - 84.60 \cdot (12 - 78 i + 364 i^2) = 0$$
And I obtain:
$$-55.20 + 6598.80 i - 30794.40i^2 == 0$$
I apply the Quadratic Formula and I obtain:
$$i = 0.087201167` \quad  i = 2.055`$$

A: Your equation can only be solved numerically.
This means that an iterative method has to be used
starting at an approximate solution.
I would solve it like this:
Since your equation is
$960 - 84.60 * \left(\dfrac{1-(1+i)^{-12}}{i}\right) = 0
$,
I would write it in the form
$1-(1+i)^{-12} = a i$,
where
$a = \dfrac{960}{84.60}\sim 11.34$.
I would then use the first two terms
in the expansion of $(1+i)^{-12}$
to get an initial value for $i$.
Since
$$(1+i)^{-12}
\sim 1-12i +\frac{(-12)(-13)}{2}i^2
= 1-12i +78i^2,
$$
$$\dfrac{1-(1+i)^{-12}}{i}
\sim \dfrac{1-(1-12i+78i^2)}{i}
=12-78i
,$$
so the initial approximation would be
$12-78i = 11.34$
or
$i = \frac{.66}{78}
\sim 0.0084
$.
From this initial value for $i$,
I would apply Newton's rule:
if $x$ is a approximate root of
$f(x) = 0$,
a better root is
$x-\dfrac{f(x)}{f'(x)}$.
If $f(i)
= 1-(1+i)^{-12} - a i
$,
$f'(i)
=12(1+i)^{-13}-a
$,
so the iteration would be
$i
=i - \dfrac{1-ai-(1+i)^{-12}}{12(1+i)^{-13}-a}
$.
You could also write this,
by multiplying top and bottom by
$(1+i)^{13}$,
as
$i
=i - \dfrac{(1+i)^{13}(1-ai)-(1+i)}{12-a(1+i)^{13}}
$
In either case,
I would leave the iteration in the form
$i = i-...$
so I could see when it converges
by looking at how much $i$
is changed.

So, it looks like we humans may have a few more years to go as the smartest beings on the planet, before being overrun by ubiquitous sentient robots. Some may question my assertion based on recent election results in the UK and the US, but I digress.
A recent experiment featuring some of our best-loved voice-activated assistants, such as Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa and Google's Home, clearly shows our digital brethren have some learning to do. A conversation between two of these rapidly enters an infinite loop.

Meet the Chatbot Speech Artist
May 16, 2016 Mike
While speech recognition technology has been in the public sphere for several decades, Silicon Valley has re-discovered it with a renewed fervor. Companies from the tech giants, such as Facebook and Amazon, down to dozens of start-ups and their VC handlers have declared the next few years those of the chatbot; natural language-based messaging is the next big thing.
Thanks to Apple the most widespread incarnation of the chatbot is of course Siri — a personalized digital assistant capable of interacting with a user through a natural language conversation (well, almost). But while the parsing and understanding of human conversation, and the construction of chatbot responses, is all done via software — the vocalizations themselves are human. As a result, a new career field is opening up for enterprising speech artists.
From Washington Post:
Until recently, Robyn Ewing was a writer in Hollywood, developing TV scripts and pitching pilots to film studios.
Now she's applying her creative talents toward building the personality of a different type of character — a virtual assistant, animated by artifical intelligence, that interacts with sick patients.
Ewing works with engineers on the software program, called Sophie, which can be downloaded to a smartphone. The virtual nurse gently reminds users to check their medication, asks them how they are feeling or if they are in pain, and then sends the data to a real doctor.
As tech behemoths and a wave of start-ups double down on virtual assistants that can chat with human beings, writing for AI is becoming a hot job in Silicon Valley. Behind Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa and Microsoft's Cortana are not just software engineers. Increasingly, there are poets, comedians, fiction writers, and other artistic types charged with engineering the personalities for a fast-growing crop of artificial intelligence tools.
"Maybe this will help pay back all the student loans," joked Ewing, who has master's degrees from the Iowa Writer's Workshop and film school.
Unlike the fictional characters that Ewing developed in Hollywood, who are put through adventures, personal trials and plot twists, most virtual assistants today are designed to perform largely prosaic tasks, such as reading through email, sending meetings reminders or turning off the lights as you shout across the room.
But a new crop of virtual assistant start-ups, whose products will soon flood the market, have in mind more ambitious bots that can interact seamlessly with human beings.
Because this wave of technology is distinguished by the ability to chat, writers for AI must focus on making the conversation feel natural. Designers for Amazon's Alexa have built humanizing "hmms" and "ums" into her responses to questions. Apple's Siri assistant is known for her wry jokes, as well as her ability to beatbox upon request.
As in fiction, the AI writers for virtual assistants dream up a life story for their bots. Writers for medical and productivity apps make character decisions such as whether bots should be workaholics, eager beavers or self-effacing. "You have to develop an entire backstory — even if you never use it," Ewing said.
Even mundane tasks demand creative effort, as writers try to build personality quirks into the most rote activities. At the start-up x.ai, a Harvard theater graduate is tasked with deciding whether its scheduling bots, Amy and Andrew, should use emojis or address people by first names. "We don't want people saying, 'Your assistant is too casual — or too much,'?" said Anna Kelsey, whose title is AI interaction designer. "We don't want her to be one of those crazy people who uses 15 million exclamation points."
Virtual assistant start-ups garnered at least $35 million in investment over the past year, according to CBInsights and Washington Post research (This figure doesn't count the many millions spent by tech giants Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft).
The surge of investor interest in virtual assistants that can converse has been fueled in part by the popularity of messaging apps, such as WeChat, WhatsApp, and Facebook's Messenger, which are among the most widely downloaded smartphone applications. Investors see that users are increasingly drawn to conversational platforms, and hope to build additional features into them.

A Paralympic athlete has died during a cycle race in Rio
The incident took place in a mountainous patch of a cycling road race.
By Catriona Harvey-Jenner
In infinitely sad news this morning, an Iranian cyclist competing in the Rio Paralympics has died after being involved in a crash during a men's cycling road race.
48-year-old Bahman Golbarnezhad was competing in the men's C4-5 road race at 10.40am yesterday morning local time when the crash occurred on a particularly "mountainous stretch" of the course, although officials say they don't know the exact cause of the incident yet and will be investigating it further.
Golbarnezhad, who had been cycling with the Iranian Paralympic team for 12 years and was married with a son, received medical attention on the side of the race course, but suffered a cardiac arrest and later died in hospital.
He was the only member of the Iranian cycling team.
Golbarnezhad competing just four days ago in the time trial races
Bahman Golbarnezhad was described as "a family man. He loved his family," by Masoud Ashrafi, the secretary general of Iran's National Paralympic Committee, who also announced that his body will be flown back to Iran today.
Meanwhile, the Iranian flag can be seen flying at half-mast in the Paralympic Village, and a moment of silence has been planned for tonight's closing ceremony.
The athlete's death is the first to have occurred during an Olympic or Paralympic competition since the 1960 Rome Olympics, when Danish cyclist Knud Enemark Jensen lost his life while competing in the 100km team time trial.
Our thoughts are with the cyclist's family and loved ones.

Volvo XC90 Facelift Unveiled – With F1-Style KERS Technology
Arvind | February 25, 2019 10:07 AM
Volvo Cars has unveiled the facelifted version of its flagship SUV, the XC90 which now boasts a newly-developed fuel-saving engine option for better efficiency, in line with the company's ambitious electrification strategy.
The refreshed XC90 for the first time offers customers Volvo's advanced kinetic energy recovery braking system (or KERS, like in F1 race cars), coupled with its existing internal combustion engines to create a new integrated electrified powertrain.
The new range of electrified powertrains falls under Volvo's new 'B' badge, which will progressively be made available across its entire model range going forward. The new 'B'-badged cars complement Volvo's existing T8 Twin Engine PHEV powertrains in the new XC90.
This new electrified powertrain offers drivers up to 15 percent more fuel efficiency and emission reductions in real-world driving – this is courtesy of a new brake-by-wire system interacting with the vehicle's energy recovery system to recover kinetic energy under braking and convert it into electrical energy for later use.
On the outside, the facelifted XC90 offers subtle upgrades to the exterior design: new wheels, exterior colours, and an updated grill design, among other details.
On the inside, much of the interior remains unchanged, but crucially, can now be ordered with a range of different seating configurations. The XC90 can be ordered as a four-seater (Excellence variant), or as a six- or seven-seater depending on the customer's preferences. Additionally, new interior materials such as a wool blend offer further options for personalisation.
In terms of active safety technology, the XC90 now offers steering intervention with both the City Safety and the Blind Spot Information System. City Safety with Autobrake is still the only system on the market to recognise pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals. The Oncoming Lane Mitigation system first introduced on the XC60 is now also available on XC90, while the Cross Traffic Alert technology now also offers Autobrake.
In terms of connectivity, the XC90 offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, and Volvo's proprietary Sensus infotainment system now adopts all the latest updates (models after the XC90 have received); new features include Spotify streaming where applicable.

Rahul Gandhi sends ball in Arvind Kejriwal's court, says Delhi CM has done 'U-turn' on alliance
Congress President Rahul Gandhi has said that his party was willing to give up four seats in Delhi to form an alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party but Arvind Kejriwal performed a 'U-turn.' This is the first time Gandhi has publicly acknowledged that his party was engaged in talks with Kejriwal.
(File Photo/DNA)
He wrote on Twitter, "An alliance between the Congress & AAP in Delhi would mean the rout of the BJP. The Congress is willing to give up 4 Delhi seats to the AAP to ensure this. But, Mr Kejriwal has done yet another U turn! Our doors are still open, but the clock is running out. #AbAAPkiBaari"

But, Mr Kejriwal has done yet another U turn!
Our doors are still open, but the clock is running out. #AbAAPkiBaari
— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) April 15, 2019
Earlier AICC in-charge of Delhi PC Chacko had said that while the Congress was willing to settle for three out of seven seats in Delhi, the AAP was adamant on striking similar alliance in Haryana and Punjab. According to him, the AAP was not willing to enter into alliance just for DELHI.
Delhi goes to polls on 12 May. Experts say that a Congress-AAP alliance will be a crushing blow to the BJP, which had won all seven seats in 2014.
Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has already made it abundantly clear that there was no question of a Congress-AAP alliance in the state, where he led his party to a huge victory in the 2017 assembly elections.

Brandon Sanderson – Mistborn: The Hero of Ages
Sanderson's books are puzzling. Take their surface, their visual ideas and the overall story and you're left with a rollicking adventure that occasionally goes deep. Add his stilted, unoriginal prose and method of solving conflicts and you're left with a generic Fantasy book that doesn't insult the reader. After reading his essays and his view on the genre I've come to the conclusion he's an awful writer who stumbled upon some great ideas.
The problem with Sanderson isn't the story itself, but his approach to storytelling. He views his stories as a mechanical process, with the purpose of everything is get to the end. Characters, magic and objects have meaning which is determined only by how much they can solve conflict.
If we're talking reality, this view can make sense. Life is full of conflicts and we need tools to solve it. Literature and Philosophy can be such tools. The difference is in the nature of conflicts in real life, and conflicts in fictional world. The conflict in real life is imposed on us. By that, I mean we don't fully control it. We can instigate, but never design it from scratch. I can go out and start a fight with someone I don't like, but I don't control all the elements – our personal histories, which influence the conflict, are out of our control. The other person's reactions and choices are also out of my control.
Fictional conflicts are the opposites. You build them from scratch. This is something many people forget when they talk about stories. Authors fully control their work. Authors can – and should – impose laws on their work, but even those laws are something the authors can control. Creating a problem just so you could solve it is like the brilliant Useless Machine. It's a contraption that you turn on so it would turns itself off. If the purpose of everything in your story is that you'd solve the conflict, why create the conflict in the first place?
Sanderson's parts fit nicely, but I see nothing admirable about that. Complexity doesn't equal depth, and depth is what matters in fiction. Compexity can be engaging in activities that are thinking for thinking's sake, but Chess also involves human interaction and a real conflict whose elements you don't fully control. Reading the Mistborn novels is like playing Chess against yourself, only with a fancier dressing.
It was so disappointing when Sanderson took an important symbol and turned it into the final plot coupon. Sazed's story is absorbing. It is the existensial crisis made physical, questioning what the hyper-intellectual who only researches, instead of providing answers and doing things, will do when the world is ending. The idea is sometimes explored, but Sazed mostly stares off into space and ruminates. By the time he takes the center stage, he realizes all his knowledge is the last screw to seal the Bad Ending's coffin.
Too many scenes are about doing Allomantic stunts. Sanderson writes them like they're a blow-by-blow account of a role-playing game. Even in those role-playing games, they are the most boring parts. No one cares about Fallout's battle systems. Planescape: Torment is a towering achievement because of the writing. These games can employ a battle system, because the person experiencing the art actually gets to use them.
Fantasy authors often forget that the position of the reader isn't like the writer's. The author may feel like he's discovering a new land when writing. For the reader, it's all laid out, no exploration of thought needed but just an info dump. The author may feel like he's using a complex system of game rules to solve conflicts, but the reader only gets to observe it. The reader doesn't actually use these rules. Imagine if a sports caster told you exactly how the basketball player's legs work.
All these details in those big fights don't matter. They don't affect anything. Remove them, and the battle will be slightly shorter. In general, battles don't work in literature. Violence is visual and immediate, something that's hard to replicate in the relatively calm activitiy of reading. It's also swift, so exact descriptions of it come off as silly. People don't experience violence like Sanderson writes about it. It's always over before we know what happened. He never once tries to capture the thrill of violence.
The story is more focused this time around. Stalling, the defining feature of the second book, is gone. Sanderson also deserves credit for his ability to structure stories. He never gets lost, never rambles too much or digress. He understands epicness doesn't have to come from how many miles your characters walk, but the scope of the conflict. So making his story about stopping the end of the world is a good idea, and there is an energy in the final scenes, the emotionally appealing concept of the world torn between creation and destruction.
I want to hear Sanderson tells such a story. He can tell it without losing track, but when it's covered in dull prose I lose hope. Many a pointless sentence fill the book. Inner thoughts drown the books in obvious or unnecessary details. I truly don't understand why authors do this so much. I sometimes edit out of kindness prose of young writers, and they do it all the time. Are they afraid that nobody will understand? So long as you don't write like Hegel, we can understand you just fine.
I do give him credit for not digressing too much. Scenes do gel together for a coherent story. One arc does feel like it's separated from the main story, but Sanderson tells it like it's self-contained, with its own conflict and resolutions. It doesn't exist just to add details, but as an actual story. His descriptions are often to the point.
His exploration of themes is particularly bad. He wants to say something, and his fairly sparse story means ideas emerge clearly. For all the talk of worldbuilding, there aren't too many details to keep up with. When the ideas emerge though, they're just there. Sanderson does nothing with them. The secondary arc is about the evils of revolution, but all it has is a bunch of extremists using the government for their own selfish needs. There is no understanding or insight or sympathy towards them. It doesn't reveal anything about this archetype, but perpetuates an empty pattern. The final antagonist also stands for nothing but death'n'destruction. It's fun enough in a simple story, but Sanderson aims higher – a complex machine which has no reason to exist but to turn itself off.
Occasionally, it's fun and it concludes. Mostly, it's a Useless Machine, but not as amusing and not as offensive as George R. R. Martin. I understand some people dig epic fantasy, but this is 700 pages. Dunsany wrote a brilliant novel with only 230 pages, and reading it three times will keep revealing new things and is a better usage of my time.

Brandon Sanderson – Mistborn: The Final Empire
Sanderson puts an impressive new coat of paint on your typical tale about saving the world. Sometimes he even hints at subversion or deviation. Then again, I must be just a hopeful person dying for a good story. They're not hard to find, and I constantly find seeds of them in bad or decent stories. At some point, though, I worry that I might be just digging to deep hoping to find dinosaur bones in shallow grounds.
The book isn't bad, but it's hard to reconcile the unique backdrop with its horribly ordinary structure. If you've seen Star Wars, you know how the story goes. A mentor meets a complete nobody. He helps that nobody discover their hidden powers and it turns out this nobody was actually way more powerful than the rest. A crew of good-natured rebels do some jobs all building up to the revolution that's only missing some Rage Against the Machine
Mistborn is as cookie-cutter as you can get, yet it's fun. It avoids nearly every bad trope of fantasy. While not injecting anything too subversive, Sanderson writes with enough energy. By trimming the fat, he managed to write a fun fantasy romp that despite stretching to 600 pages never actually loses steam.
Praising a book for what it doesn't have feels weird. A good book should be defined by what it makes special. I can praise Sanderson for not writing in a bloated way, for not relying so much on worldbuilding but does that sound tempting? Great works don't earn their position because they weren't bad, but because they're good in a unique way. Bad books fail in many departments. Good books are successful in a very specific thing.
Sanderson's strength isn't special, but it's a rarity in modern fantasy. Despite being praised for worldbuilding and a 'developed magic system', the novel doesn't actually rely on these. The magic system only adds some flash to the combat scenes and the worldbuilding is focused on concepts, not details.
His worldbuilding is strange. The commonly praised method of worldbuilding in fantasy is horrible. We've seen in that popular disaster by George R. R. Martin. Pile a lot of details, and all you do is bore the audience. Just because a detail exists doesn't mean it's important. Even non-fiction books which should be about facts choose which to present. What was Stalin's preferred method of eating potatoes is most likely irrelevant in a general history of USSR.
So Sanderson avoids piling on these details. He mentions that a lot of great houses exist, but he never provides of a list of them. He drops some names only to show they exist, but the story is focused around one or two or three. This deliberate refusal keeps the reader's mind on the story, rather than memorizing all the great houses. Imagine how more energetic Game of Thrones would've been if Martin trimmed his fat.
He uses this technique often. Names of cities and of people appear, but they always exist only to inform the reader that the world is big. Sanderson avoids writing an entire encyclopedia of his world in the novel. In the end, you will only know the basics about Luthendel, where the Terrisman live and that's it. By teasing the reader about the parts that aren't too relevant to the story, Sanderson makes his world feel actually big and makes you wonder what other stories can take place.
As for his magic system, it's definitely meant for an RPG game rather than a novel. Sanderson is always on the brink of telling you how much mana points the magicians have left. His deviation don't mean much, since they're never explored conceptually. The magic is biological in nature, which makes for an inaccessible class of wizards. We see a little of how their culture exists, but not enough. Changing it from mana to consumed metal is a cool aesthetic and it does affect the world's relationship with metal, but again we don't see it enough. In a world where metal is both a source of strength and a weak point for a powerful class, how does it affect people's view of metal and their relationship with it? Mistings aren't obscure. Metals are integral to humanity, so integral we don't question out relationship.
At least his system isn't overly complex. As a way to dress up action scenes and make them more fun, it's good. The brevity is integral to the action scenes. They consist of set-pieces that connect instead of a blow-by-blow account that's hard to follow unless you're a WWE fanatic. He mines the technique of pulling and pushing steel objects for some cool scenes, but they display the weakness of action scenes in novels. Action gains its strength from the visual. Seeing a person getting hit is more affecting than reading "A fist hit a person". While there's thrill to hear about a tornado of metal objects, it sounds more like the cure for Hollywood's sorry state of action movies.
What Sanderson does get right – and what's pretty confusing – is his characters. There are some archetypes, but they're distinct. One of the most arresting scenes is between Elend and Vin-as-Valette, and that's solely because each has subtle speech patterns. The dialogues are engrossing because they feel so real. Breeze and Ham and Kelsier may not be deep, but even the dialogue between Breeze and Kelsier is different. Both are arrogant, but Sanderson lets snobbishness into Breeze's speech whereas Kelsier talks like he believes himself to be a rock star.
This is why the book works, despite not containing anything extraordinary. It avoids all the flaws of a typical Fantasy novel, but its live characters make its adventure fun. How similar the structure to Star Wars is irrelevant when the characters are completely different but the novel has that same focused narrative. Mistborn isn't amazing, but it's something we need – a Fantasy story about saving the world with entertaining characters that's actually fun.

Canada's premier digital conference is a chance to connect with people who are as excited about the potential of digital as you are — people who want to know more about how it is changing the way we live, work and interact with the world. And you won't just connect with them in the hallways — at mesh, every session is interactive.
mesh is a two-day event that explores how the Web is evolving, the emergence of new and emerging trends, and what's over the digital horizon. It's a thinking person's conference that features challenging, insightful, engaging and provocative speakers and content. We want people to come away from mesh with new ideas, inspiration and tons of food for thought on how they personally and professionally use the Web.
A key part of mesh is that most of our presentations are interactive discussions in which attendees play an active role. We encourage attendees to ask questions and provide insight based on their experiences to complement the expertise of the people on stage.
Another important element of mesh is the networking as we believe the conversations between sessions are as important as the sessions themselves. As a result, we've structured mesh with healthy breaks to provide you with the opportunity to catch up with friends, meet new people and discuss what you've heard and learned.
If you're passionate about the Web and the digital landscape, mesh is a great place to immerse yourself in two days of great content, conversations and ideas.
Successful marketers know word-of-mouth is one of the most powerful tools to spread news about a product or service. The Web is word-of-mouth on steroids. Within minutes, fans can quickly spread a new service or feature across thousands of blogs, Facebook Pages, Twitter users and forums. And bad news can spread just as quickly. Come to mesh to learn how you can benefit from the former and manage the latter.
Not long ago, the media was a predictable beast that consisted of newspapers, magazines, radio stations and a handful of TV networks. Now, millions of people on Facebook and Twitter can fill the same role as mainstream journalists, not to mention dozens of blog networks, video podcasters and other "citizen journalists" who are changing the way we think about and consume media.
Starting a business is challenge. But online tools can make it easier than ever, letting startups take advantage of everything from "cloud computing" and online storage to Web-based services that can give small companies an edge over larger competitors. Come to mesh to learn about these tools and hear from those successfully using them.
Just as the Web has empowered consumers by making it easier to talk about products and services, it has opened the doors to the political process, giving ordinary citizens ways to express how they feel about laws and leaders. It has also provided interest groups and charitable organizations with the tools they need to reach out and create change. Come to mesh and talk about what that means for us as a society.

Mental health is an issue for people with spinal cord injury. Chronic pain makes it worse
Researchers say clinicians should focus more on interventions for treating chronic pain in light of these findings.
Adults living with spinal cord injuries have a near-80% increased risk of developing psychological conditions, such as depression and anxiety, compared to people without the traumatic injury, a new study shows. But chronic pain may have an equally large, negative effect on mental health.
The study is published in Spinal Cord by a Michigan Medicine-led team of researchers who analyzed private insurance claims from more than 9,000 adults with a traumatic spinal cord injury and more than 1 million adults without. They accounted for a range of psychological conditions, from anxiety and mood disorders to insomnia and dementia.
People living with a spinal cord injury were diagnosed with a mental health condition more often than those without the injury – 59.1% versus 30.9%. While depression and adverse mental health effects are not inevitable consequences of every traumatic spinal injury, past findings have consistently echoed higher levels of psychological morbidity among this group than the general population without spinal cord injuries.
In this study, however, chronic centralized and neuropathic pain among adults living with a spinal cord injury were found to be robustly associated with post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorders and other mental health conditions. In most cases, chronic pain was an even greater influence on these conditions than exposure to living with the injury itself.
Researchers say the findings should prompt physicians to identify mental health conditions when seeing patients with spinal cord injuries and refer them to mental health providers for treatment.
"Improved clinical efforts are needed to facilitate screening of, and early treatment for, both chronic pain and psychological health in this higher-risk population," said Mark Peterson, Ph.D., lead author of the paper and associate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Michigan Medicine.
However, researchers note a lack of insurance coverage and limited available services will likely cause the issue to remain largely unaddressed.
"Stakeholders need to work together to lobby for more federal research funding and special policy amendments to ensure adequate and long-term insurance coverage for both physical and mental health to meet the needs of folks living with spinal cord injuries," Peterson said.

The present government has made a complete hash of the Cabinet. Whereas we talked in terms of a Cabinet based on rational principles, we seem to have adopted the rag-bag approach instead, with ludicrous combinations such as Home Affairs and Fisheries (whereas District and Divisional Secretariats should obviously have been part of Public Administration) or Minister of Policy Planning, Economic Affairs, Child Youth and Cultural Affairs.
This is ridiculous, but it is inevitable when Cabinets are formed with priority given to keeping people happy, or by those with inflated beliefs in the capacity of some individuals. What a country needs rather is a clear vision of what government needs to do, and how this can be done most effectively. The Cabinet should be based on the needs of the people, not the needs or egos or even simply the seniority of particular politicians.
I therefore present here the Second Chapter of 'Political Principles and their Practice in Sri Lanka', which scrutinizes what government should do, and why.
In many countries, especially those like Sri Lanka which were under British colonial rule, there is a belief that the powers of government are unlimited and so are its duties. This may be because, under the colonial system, absolute power belonged to a foreign state which did not have any responsibilities towards those whom it governed. Colonialism could not conceive that the people are above the government, and that the functions of government should be limited to those the people want or need.


Wow, you guys got me! Wow. I'm really surprised. I don't know who on my alliance flipped on me. I think it was probably Rob. Hey, I played the game as best I could. That's what I came out here to do, is compete, and see how far I could go. I had a good run, made a good run of it, and that's the way the game is played, you know? Someone's gotta go, and apparently I was the biggest threat at this point. So, there you go!

For purposes of applying this paragraph in the case of an employee who is sent from the territory of the United States by an employer in that territory to the territory of Greece, that employer and an affiliated company of the employer (as defined under the laws of the United States) shall be considered one and the same, provided that the employment would have been covered under United States laws absent this Agreement.

1. In determining eligibility for voluntary insurance in accordance with Greek laws, periods of coverage completed by a person under United States laws shall be considered as periods of coverage completed under Greek laws if the person fulfills the other requirements provided in Greek laws.
2. Law No. 1469/84 concerning voluntary coverage for Greek nationals and foreign nationals of Greek origin under the Greek pension insurance scheme shall apply to United States nationals where the person concerned:
a. resides in the territory of the United States and has in the past been compulsorily covered under the Greek pension insurance scheme; or
b. regardless of the place of residence, has previously either:
i. resided in the territory of Greece for at least 10 years, whether consecutive or not, after attainment of age 18 (or prior to attainment of age 18, if the person was covered under the Greek pension insurance scheme) or
ii. been covered under the Greek pension insurance scheme, whether compulsorily or voluntarily, for a period of at least 1,500 days.
The following provisions shall apply to the United States:
1. Where a person has completed at least six quarters of coverage under United States laws, but does not have sufficient periods of coverage to satisfy the requirements for entitlement to benefits under United States laws, the agency of the United States shall take into account, for the purpose of establishing entitlement to benefits under this Article, periods of coverage which are credited under Greek laws and which do not coincide with periods of coverage already credited under United States laws.
2. In determining eligibility for benefits under paragraph 1 of this Article, the agency of the United States shall credit one quarter of coverage for every 75 days of coverage certified by the agency of Greece; however, no quarter of coverage shall be credited for any calendar quarter already credited as a quarter of coverage under United States laws. The total number of quarters of coverage to be credited for a year shall not exceed four.
3. Where entitlement to a benefit under United States laws is established according to the provisions of paragraph 1, the agency of the United States shall compute a pro rata Primary Insurance Amount in accordance with United States laws based on (a) the person's average earnings credited exclusively under United States laws and (b) the ratio of the duration of the person's periods of coverage completed under United States laws to the duration of a coverage lifetime as determined in accordance with United States laws. Benefits payable under United States laws shall be based on the pro rata Primary Insurance Amount.
4. Entitlement to a benefit from the United States which results from paragraph 1 shall terminate with the acquisition of sufficient periods of coverage under United States laws to establish entitlement to an equal or higher benefit without the need to invoke the provision of paragraph 1.
The following provisions shall apply to Greece:
1. If a person is entitled to a Greek benefit without regard to the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article, the amount of the benefit shall be calculated according to Greek laws on the basis of the periods of coverage completed under those laws.
2. If no right to a Greek benefit exists on the basis of the Greek periods of coverage, periods of coverage completed under United States laws shall be added to them in order to establish the right to old-age, invalidity and survivors benefits under Greek laws, insofar as these periods do not coincide.
3. If, according to the preceding paragraph, periods of coverage under United States laws are taken into account to establish eligibility, the benefit due under Greek laws shall be determined as follows:
a. The competent Greek agency shall first calculate the amount of the benefit which would have been awarded to the person concerned (theoretical amount) if the periods of coverage completed under United States laws and totalized according to the preceding paragraph to establish eligibility for old-age, invalidity and survivors benefits, had been completed under its own laws.
b. For the calculation of the amount of the benefit, the competent agency shall take into account the salary (earnings), income or contributions paid during periods of coverage completed under Greek laws.
c. If the amount, as determined above, is less than the minimum benefit provided under Greek laws, the minimum benefit amount shall be taken into account.
d. If the benefit amount is not dependent on the length of the periods of coverage, this amount shall be considered to be the theoretical amount.
e. Based on the amount calculated according to the preceding subparagraphs of this paragraph, the competent agency shall calculate the partial benefit payable by it according to the ratio between the length of the periods of coverage completed under its own laws and the total duration of the periods of coverage which have been taken into account.
4. If the total length of the periods of coverage that are completed under Greek laws for the calculation of a benefit do not amount to 300 days, and provided that no entitlement to a benefit under Greek laws exists without applying the preceding paragraphs, no benefit shall be payable under those laws.
5. For the determination of the kind of benefit and the competent agency, only Greek periods of coverage shall be taken into account.
6. If the award of certain benefits under Greek laws depends on the condition that periods of coverage be completed in a profession covered by a special system, periods of coverage completed under the laws of the United States in a respective special system or, in cases where no respective special system exists, in the same profession or the same employment, shall be taken into account for the award of these benefits.
If, taking into account the periods thus completed, the person concerned does not meet the required conditions, these periods shall be taken into account for the award of benefits under the general system.
7. For the purposes of this Article:
a. One quarter of coverage under United States laws shall equal 75 days of coverage under Greek laws.
b. Four quarters of coverage under United States laws in a year shall equal 300 days of coverage under Greek laws in that year.
8. If a person who is entitled to a benefit resides in Greece, the total amount of the benefit payable by the competent agencies of both Contracting States may not be less than the minimum benefit provided under Greek laws. If the total amount is less than the minimum benefit, the Greek competent agency shall pay the difference.
9. Provisions of Greek laws which provide for a reduction or suspension of benefits on account of receipt of another benefit or income from gainful activity shall be applied even if such other benefit is payable under the laws of the United States or the income is derived from within the territory of the United States.
10. In determining whether a benefit shall be reduced or suspended in accordance with paragraph 9, the Greek agency shall take into account another benefit or income from gainful activity only in proportion to the ratio between the Greek partial benefit referred to in paragraph 3(e) and the theoretical benefit amount referred to in paragraph 3(a).
The Competent Authorities of the two Contracting States shall:
a. Make all necessary administrative arrangements for the implementation of this Agreement and designate liaison agencies;
b. Communicate to each other information concerning the measures taken for the application of this Agreement; and
c. Communicate to each other, as soon as possible, information concerning all changes in their respective laws which may affect the application of this Agreement.
The Competent Authorities and the agencies of the Contracting States, within the scope of their respective authorities, shall assist each other in implementing this Agreement. This assistance shall be free of charge, subject to exceptions to be agreed upon in an administrative arrangement.
Unless otherwise required by the national statutes of a Contracting State, information about an individual which is transmitted in accordance with the Agreement to that Contracting State by the other Contracting State shall be used exclusively for purposes of implementing the Agreement. Such information received by a Contracting State shall be governed by the national statutes of that Contracting State for the protection of privacy and confidentiality of personal data.
1. Where the laws of a Contracting State provide that any document which is submitted to the Competent Authority or an agency of that Contracting State shall be exempted, wholly or partly, from fees or charges, including consular and administrative fees, the exemption shall also apply to corresponding documents which are submitted to the Competent Authority or an agency of the other Contracting State in the application of this Agreement.
2. Documents and certificates which are presented for purposes of this Agreement shall be exempted from requirements for authentication by diplomatic or consular authorities.
3. Copies of documents which are certified as true and exact copies by an agency of one Contracting State shall be accepted as true and exact copies by an agency of the other Contracting State, without further certification. The agency of each Contracting State shall be the final judge of the probative value of the evidence submitted to it from whatever source.
1. The Competent Authorities and agencies of the Contracting States may correspond directly with each other and with any person wherever the person may reside whenever it is necessary for the administration of this Agreement. The correspondence may be in the official language of either Contracting State.
2. An application or document may not be rejected by a Competent Authority or agency of a Contracting State because it is in the official language of the other Contracting State.
1. A written application for benefits filed with an agency of one Contracting State shall protect the rights of the claimants under the laws of the other Contracting State if the applicant requests that it be considered an application under the laws of the other Contracting State.
2. If an applicant has filed a written application for benefits with an agency of one Contracting State and has not explicitly requested that the application be restricted to benefits under the laws of that Contracting State, the application shall also protect the rights of the claimants under the laws of the other Contracting State if the applicant provides information at the time of filing indicating that the person on whose record benefits are claimed has completed periods of coverage under the laws of the other Contracting State.
1. A written appeal against a decision made by an agency of one Contracting State may be validly filed with an agency of either Contracting State. The appeal shall be dealt with according to the procedure and laws of the Contracting State whose decision is being appealed.
2. Any claim, notice or written appeal which, under the laws of one Contracting State, must have been filed within a prescribed period with an agency of that Contracting State, but which is instead filed within the same period with an agency of the other Contracting State, shall be considered to have been filed on time.
In any case to which the provisions of Article 14 apply, the agency to which the claim, notice or written appeal has been submitted shall indicate the date of receipt on the document and transmit it without delay to the liaison agency of the other Contracting State.
1. Payments under this Agreement may be made in the currency of the Contracting State making the payments.
2. Benefits payable under Greek laws or Greek benefits payable under this Agreement to citizens or residents of the United States shall not be subject to reduction or suspension because of any provision in Greek laws or other Greek legislation or regulations that is designed to restrict payments, remittances or transfers of funds or financial instruments from Greece to locations outside the territory of Greece.
3. Benefits under United States laws or United States benefits under this Agreement shall be paid to Greek nationals outside the territory of the United States in accordance with Article 11, paragraph 2, of the United States-Greek Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation signed August 3, 1951.
4. In case provisions restricting the transfer of currency are promulgated in either of the Contracting States, the two States shall immediately adopt measures necessary to guarantee the rights derived from this Agreement.
Any disagreement regarding the interpretation or application of this Agreement shall be resolved by consultation between the Competent Authorities.
This Agreement may be amended in the future by supplementary agreements which, from their entry into force, shall be considered an integral part of this Agreement. Such agreements may be given retroactive effect if they so specify.
1. This Agreement shall not establish any claim to payment of a benefit for any period before the date of the entry into force of the Agreement, or to a lump-sum death benefit if the person died before the entry into force of the Agreement.
2. In determining the right to benefits under this Agreement, consideration shall be given to periods of coverage and other events which occurred before the entry into force of this Agreement. However neither Contracting State shall take into account periods of coverage which occurred prior to the earliest date for which periods of coverage may be credited under its laws.
3. In applying paragraph 2 of Article 4 in the case of persons who were sent to the territory of a Contracting State prior to the date of entry into force of this Agreement, the period of employment referred to in that paragraph shall be considered to begin on that date.
(a) Determinations made before the entry into force of this Agreement shall not affect rights arising under it.
(b) Any benefit which was denied or suspended under the domestic law of either Contracting State but which is payable by virtue of this Agreement shall, upon application of the person concerned, be awarded or reinstated upon entry into force of the Agreement, provided that the right to such benefit has not been settled by a lump-sum payment.
(c) Benefit rights which a person acquired prior to the entry into force of this Agreement may be reviewed upon application of the person concerned, taking into account the provisions of this Agreement.
5. The application of this Agreement shall not result in any reduction in the amount of a benefit to which entitlement was established prior to its entry into force.
6. The provisions of Part III shall apply only to benefits for which an application is filed on or after the date this Agreement enters into force.
1. This Agreement shall remain in force and effect until the expiration of one calendar year following the year in which written notice of its termination is given by one of the Contracting States to the other Contracting State.
