Fiction v nonfiction – English literature's made-up divide
Some cultures do not distinguish between fiction and nonfiction – and instead talk of 'stories'. Is that a barrier to English-language writers and publishers? Or should they just learn to enjoy telling tales?

There's a mighty canyon that runs down the middle of the world of the word, carving through bookshops, libraries and literary prizes, splitting them into fiction and nonfiction.
Those who try to build bridges over this fissure may find themselves – like Geoff Dyer – rejecting the terms on which they are read, or, like Sheila Heti, arguing with their own book jackets. Those who are caught on the wrong side of the divide are attacked as frauds, pillioried or even – like James Frey – hounded out of their homes.

But according to the writer Aleksandar Hemon, this strange chasm doesn't even exist in the language of his birth. In Bosnian, says Hemon, "there are no words for fiction and nonfiction, or the distinction thereof".
"This is not to say that there is no truth or untruth," he continues. "It's just that a literary text is not defined by its relation to truth or imagination." When Bosnian speakers try to articulate this distinction they have to reach for awkward constructions or terms from other languages, he explains. "Some literary people have bastardised fiction into 'fikcija', which makes me cringe, while 'ne-fikcija' is even more atrocious. I would never use those words. Your average taxi driver would not understand them."
Julian Barnes: 'Biographical novels are kind of cheesy'
Even someone as skilled in matters of language as Hemon's Bosnian translator, Irena Žlof, can find themselves stumped. When Žlof was working on the Bosnian edition of The Book of My Lives – Hemon's "first book of nonfiction", according to his US publisher – she "did not know" how to translate the terms fiction and nonfiction, Hemon recalls. Since they "only appeared in the acknowledgments, we just cut them. When I have to describe the pieces in my book, I call them 'true stories' or 'personal essays'."
He thinks the categorisation in English literature may have something do with religion. "My sense is that relating and evaluating a literary text in relation to its truthfulness has to have some kind of religious and moral, probably Protestant, possibly Puritan, roots," he says. "In that context the model for truth-telling is, of course, the Holy Book, while non-truth-telling books are always suspect, only permissible if morally rewarding." Hemon says he doesn't speak many other languages, but it seems to him as if "English is the exception, and my sense is that the distinction became axiomatic relatively recently, and more so in the United States."
The art is in the telling … the best storyteller is the one who recreates the anxiety of expectation and fulfils it
According to Aleksandar Boskovic, lecturer in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian at New York City's Columbia University, these languages refer to fiction in terms shared with Russian such as umetnička književnost or "художественная литература" ("art literature"), and sometimes describe it with a term borrowed from the French: belles lettres ("beautiful letters"). The word fikicija has started to appear in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian over the last decade, he says, but "there is no similar term to English 'nonfiction'." What English speakers might see as the lack of a distinction can look to Slavs as a "wealth of meanings full of subtle distinctions".
"The clear-cut binary fiction/nonfiction distinction in English, is, in Slavic languages, differently coded," Boskovic says, "and rooted in the history and struggle of the different oral and literary genres – what poststructuralism would call 'writing'."

The split between fiction and nonfiction is equally mysterious in languages as different from Bosnian as Arabic and Gĩkuyu. According to the Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, the "key word" in Gĩkuyu is rũgano – "story" or "narrative". Rũgano is the nearest thing to fiction, Ngũgĩ explains, but it could also mean or suggest a historical narrative. "Kũgana rũgano – 'to tell a story' – can mean either of those, but specifically means retelling of well-known stories such as fables. The art is in the telling, not the fact of the story. The best storyteller is the one who recreates the anxiety of expectation and fulfils it."
The term "story" can be specified further, with rũgano rwa gwĩtungĩra ("made-up story") for creative fiction as opposed to fables, Ngũgĩ continues, or rũgano rwa marimũ ("ogre story") which refers both to a story that is literally about an ogre and also "a story that is not true". There are also ndungo ("compositions"), which could be fiction or nonfiction and ũhoro ("news"), although news is understood "in a very general sense of happenings which would include actual information of actual happenings, but it could include story. So a visitor to a house, after being welcomed, will be asked: 'Rehe ũhoro' – 'Tell us the news'."
According to Ngũgĩ "literature" is kĩrĩra, but this includes everything "from wise sayings, moral anecdotes, to fiction".
"The most important thing to remember about the Gĩkuyu-language fictive imagination is that it was oral, not written," he says. "It was what we now call Orature." These days literature is now split into kĩrĩra kĩa rũrĩmĩ ("literature of the tongue or mouth", spoken aloud) and kĩrĩra gĩa kwandĩka ("written literature"), but both of these can be either fiction or nonfiction.
The division is just as blurred in Arabic, says the novelist Mohammed Hasan Alwan, where fiction is either hekaya (الحكاية), kessah (قِصَّة) or sard(سَرْد).
"The first two words mean 'story'." Alwan says. "The third word, sard, means 'storytelling'. However, I don't think there is any consensus on an Arabic synonym of 'nonfiction'. I salute the English language for its ability to create simple and definitive words just by adding 'non-'. Out of curiosity, I asked my Twitter followers if they could suggest a word. The suggestions were wake'y (وَاقِعيّ), which means 'realistic' and nathary (نَظري), which means 'theoretical'. I am not satisfied with either one of those."
If story is primary in Gĩkuyu, the reverse is true in Arabic, Alwan suggests. "I think that fiction in general is relatively new in Arabic culture. Therefore fiction might be considered a branch of writing that stems from the main tree of nonfiction." The two domains are not of equal magnitude in Arabic letters, he continues, so the branch is defined only in relation to the over-arching concept. "When you need to specify the branch of writing that is based on fictional narration, you say 'fiction writing'."

According to the translator Nicky Harman, the English-speaking world is not entirely on its own, with the division between fiction and nonfiction mapping straightforwardly on to the Chinese xu gou (虚构) and fei [not or non-] xu gou (非虚构). But things become a little murkier as you move closer to home. German bestsellers are also divided into two categories, says the translator Katy Derbyshire, with Der Spiegel publishing lists split into Sachbücher ("fact-books") and Belletristik – another borrowing of the French term belles lettres. But the boundary is drawn "in a different place than in the anglophone world".
Alongside the novels listed under Belletristik, Derbyshire explains, you find autobiography, such as Joachim Meyerhoff's Ach, diese Lücke, diese entsetzliche Lücke, or Anne Weber's exploration of her family history, Ahnen. "There was some confusion over Helen MacDonald's H is for Hawk – I've seen it called a novel but the German publisher calls it an 'erzählendes Sachbuch' – a piece of narrative nonfiction. German Amazon lists it under zoology and memoir."
In Germany "the difference is more in the style of writing," she says. "If it's literary it tends to be classed as belles lettres; if its purpose is primarily to convey information it'll be called a factual book."
The translator Esther Allen remembers how she came to the realisation that many bookshops in France and Mexico group authors by nationality instead of dividing their work into fiction and nonfiction.
"This struck me at the time – and still does – as a far healthier approach," Allen says. The division between "the writing of imagination and the writing of fact" that seems so obvious to the anglophone readers "doesn't seem straightforward at all to much of the rest of the world", she continues, citing the development in the 1990s of l'autofiction in French and la autoficción in Spanish. "Its combination of autobiographical writing with an insistence on the freedoms of fiction seems in overt opposition to the rather naive anglophone distinction that has imposed itself across the globe during that same period." There are signs that "no ficción" is beginning to be adopted in Spanish, she adds, but the term is seldom sighted in Portuguese and doesn't really exist in French.
The writer AS Byatt also thinks of bookshops when she hears the terms fiction and nonfiction, saying she can't quite get her mind round "what these words might mean except as shelf-descriptions in bookstores and libraries". But the question raises a subject that "increasingly worries me as a writer … the blending of truth and fiction in one story". She says: "I don't like to go into the thoughts and feelings of real people – I prefer to make new people by adding traits or thoughts of several real people to make a new one. I do believe that it is possible to aim for truth."
But she says she doesn't really use the term nonfiction. "History, biography, autobiography, memoir, diary … You can have fictions that mimic all these forms, but I do like to know where I am as a reader."
Like Hemon, Byatt suggests these reactions are founded in religion, citing her upbringing by Quakers. "Telling stories is telling lies – as BS Johnson said – is an extreme version of something I understand and also feel."

[The distinction] serves as a useful guide to the kind of experience the reader is wanting to have
According to Geoff Dyer, who says his next book is "a mixture of both fiction and non- but will be published as non-", the strength of the distinction in anglophone culture has waxed and waned. "Orwell's biographer Bernard Crick points out that '12 of the 14 pieces in Penguin New Writing in 1940' – which included Orwell's Shooting an Elephant – 'were of a then fashionable genre that blurred the line between fact and fiction'," Dyer explains. The nonfiction novels of Truman Capote and Norman Mailer blurred the lines again in the 1960s, he continues, and the boundary is "perhaps going through another porous phase right now".
"You'd have to go back to the early 19th century or earlier to a time when 'literature' referred to fiction and nonfiction rather than to a particular, highly regarded form of imaginative writing," he adds. Dyer cites Raymond Williams, who suggested that "the special regard in which fiction comes to be held … is probably connected to romanticism and the emphasis put on the imagination – which is itself a response to the rise of industrialisation: a very fact-based process as Dickens emphasises later in Hard Times."
But for all the difficulties surrounding any attempt to divide literature into fact and fiction, Dyer accepts that it's a part of literary life that is here to stay, because "it serves as a useful guide to the kind of experience the reader is wanting to have".
"I only push against this distinction because it exists," Dyer says. "I'm grateful for it in the same way that tennis players depend on the net. It suits me to ask why it can't be lower, why the tension can't be relaxed somewhat … Overall, though, I think it's inevitable …"

An Opportunity for...
A Just and Fair Energy Transition: An opportunity to tackle climate change and create prosperity
13 December 2018| Articles
By Adnan Z. Amin, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
Holding the UN climate conference COP24 in Katowice sends a strong signal as it provides the international community with an opportunity to learn from an on-going energy transition in a traditionally fossil-fuel intensive region. At the same time, it reminds us of the imperative of a just energy transition on our pathway towards a climate-safe future.
The global energy landscape is truly witnessing rapid and wide-ranging changes driven by an unprecedented growth of renewables. Last year alone, a record-breaking 168 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity was added globally, making it the sixth year in a row in which new power generations from renewables outpaced conventional sources including from coal.
Renewable energy is driving an energy transformation that is creating new socio-economic opportunities for countries, regions and local communities across the world. It is also key to address climate change, which is becoming ever more urgent. The widely cited recent Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) urges for a rapid scaling-up of renewables to avoid irreversible climate impacts.
Poland has a vast potential of renewable energy resources, such as biomass and wind energy, and is therefore well positioned in this changing landscape. Countries that lead this transformation will also be the ones to reap most of its benefits. While coal fuelled an intensive industrialisation in the 18th century, wind energy could become a new point of industrial departure for Poland. The launch of a parliamentary commission on offshore wind as well as the most recently announced plan by Polish authorities to develop 8 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030 point in this direction.
Indeed, building new wind energy installations makes compelling economic sense for Poland as technology costs continue to fall dramatically. Today, onshore wind represents one of the lowest-cost sources of new power generation globally. Cost for wind turbines alone declined by a remarkable 30% since 2010, the cost of power from onshore wind fell by 23% globally. Innovation and breakthroughs in wind technologies are creating new deployment opportunities and driving cost reductions across the industry further. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that offshore wind cost could fall by an additional 14% by 2020, making all commercially-available renewables cost-competitive with fossil fuels.
Beyond the strong business case, growing the offshore renewable energy sector will create jobs and revenue in communities across the country. The development of a typical 500-megawatt offshore wind farm requires around 2.1 million person-days of work. A wide range of skills are needed for the successful completion of such a project, from planning, procurement, manufacturing, transport, installation and grid connection as well as operation and maintenance. Jobs which puts countries like Poland in a favourable starting position as it can build on solid local manufacturing capacity.
To put this in concrete numbers in the Polish context, the development of 6 gigawatt of offshore capacity in Poland could create more than 75 000 new jobs and contribute about PLN 60 billion to the economy, according to a study by McKinsey. Developing wind farms in Poland could also increase demand for products from many Polish companies, thereby reviving industries in regions such as Upper Silesia.
It is encouraging to see that Poland is beginning to tap into its enormous wind energy potential, especially in the Polish Baltic Sea, by boosting its existing offshore wind supply chain. It is also already leveraging its local industry to serve the nearby North and Baltic Sea markets, mainly in territorial waters of Germany and the United Kingdom.
Overall, shifting the global energy system to renewables would grow the world economy by one per cent till 2050, translating into a cumulative gain of more than USD 52 trillion. IRENA also estimates a total of 29 million jobs in renewables by 2050. With 500 000 new jobs, more jobs were created in renewables 2017 than in all fossil fuel technologies combined, surpassing the 10-million-benchmark for the first time. If we add social welfare benefits like better health, air quality and reduced pollution, potential gains more than outweigh additional costs.
However, to ensure that costs and benefits are fairly distributed, the on-going, large-scale global energy transformation has to be accompanied by policies enabling a just transition. A just transition must create alternatives to people and regions trapped in fossil fuel dynamics through new economic opportunity, education and skills trainings and adequate social safety systems. Governments and local authorities will have to engineer new job opportunities for job losses caused by replacing fossil fuels with climate-safe power sources. With its ambitious plans to accelerate offshore wind energy, Poland is sending a powerful signal to other countries not only in Central and Eastern Europe but also to the rest of world that moving forward on renewables makes economic sense and can be designed in a socially just way.
Far from having to choose between mitigating climate change and economic growth, it is more evident than ever that an opportunity exists to ramp up renewable energy technologies, decarbonize economies and shift the global development paradigm to one of shared prosperity.

Merciless Gods review (Griffin Theatre, Sydney)
By Ben Neutze | November 4, 2017 |
In all cultures there are dominant narratives that form an unquestionable image of a society's history and identity. These are the narratives upheld by the kinds of people who have sat in positions of power for hundreds of years.
But sitting just to the side is a rich reservoir of counter-narratives that, when pulled together, make up a more complex, nuanced and honest reflection.
Greek-Australian author Christos Tsiolkas has always been more interested in exploring those counter-narratives in an extraordinarily forthright and brutally poetic manner. He's both interested in a diversity of characters and communities, as well as a diversity of attitudes and psyches: the people he chooses to write about often act and think in ways that are repugnant to polite society, deeply sad, challenging or terrifying.
Despite this bleakness, his work always feels vital and strangely joyous; it's full to the brim with the blood and guts of real life.
Tsiolkas explored Australia's complex societal fabric in his 2008 novel The Slap, but his 2014 collection of short stories, Merciless Gods, sees that fabric spread even further and the exploration run deeper. These stories see ordinary people grapple with morality in the backyards of suburban houses, in bedrooms, on porn sets, in gay bathhouses, and in prison.
But first and foremost, Tsiolkas is a great storyteller with a sense of dramatic development rivalled by few of his contemporaries. It's the quality that makes his work so rich for dramatic adaptation, whether it be film (Head On), TV (The Slap, Barracuda) or now theatre.
Melbourne-based queer theatre company Little Ones Theatre has been subverting theatrical expectations, forms, tropes and roles for the last several years. In Merciless Gods, that subversion goes even further as the company seeks to give Australia a new perspective from which to examine itself. It's subverting this country's dominant narratives and offering new ones.
Director Stephen Nicolazzo and writer Dan Giovannoni have selected eight of the 15 short stories from Tsiolkas's book and translated them into something boldly theatrical: an intimate but near-operatic form.
According to those dominant narratives, these are characters with small lives. In Merciless Gods their dilemmas are at the very centre as they attempt to wrestle control of their own fates and the fates of those around them: the drug addict who turns to porn to pay off debt and start anew, the conservative mother who discovers porn and something more unsettling, the man facing an undignified health decline, the woman repulsed by her son's growing cruelty and misogyny, and the man entering a bathhouse to experience sex with a man for the first time.
Some stories are told as monologues and others are big ensemble pieces. The adaptation is full of insight, and has a beautifully economical and evocative use of language, but there are a few stories that work better on the page. The stories Giovannoni and Nicolazzo have chosen share a number of thematic similarities but some simply require a richness of description that doesn't always translate perfectly to dialogue.
Nicolazzo has spent a lot of his career creating camp and brilliantly funny theatre, and takes a slightly different and more dangerous turn in this production. He still brings melodramatic notes into play, magnifying these wonderful characters and making them sing, with the assistance of Eugyeene Teh's striking and stylish design, Katie Sfetkidis's vivid lighting, and Daniel Nixon's frequently affecting score.
The cast is superb across the board — Paul Blenheim, Bridgid Gallacher, Sapidah Kian, Peter Paltos, Charles Purcell and Jennifer Vuletic — a reminder of how many great actors work in Australia's indie theatre sector. Vuletic is a stand-out as two very different mothers, while Kian and Paltos finish the piece with two wonderfully dark but hugely impactful monologues.
Given the heavy subject matter in many of the stories, moments in the play might be difficult for some audiences to stomach. But Nicolazzo and Giovannoni tell these stories with great taste and restraint, and the potential discomfort is usually displaced by surprising feelings of empathy and compassion for the enormous suffering of those on stage.
Perhaps the audience would be more merciful gods than the ones who put these characters in these situations. Perhaps not.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Nashville Predators forward Austin Watson is returning to the lineup for the first time since he was suspended by the NHL more than two months ago for alcohol abuse.
Coach Peter Laviolette announced Watson will play in Nashville's game Tuesday night in Buffalo. The decision comes two days after Watson was recalled from the minors, where he scored four goals in two games with AHL Milwaukee.
Watson has missed 27 games since being suspended on Jan. 29. He entered the second stage of the league's substance abuse and behavioral health program because of what the NHL and the players' union described as "ongoing issues with alcohol abuse."
Watson began the season serving an 18-game suspension after pleading no contest to a domestic assault charge in July. His girlfriend issued a statement in October taking blame for the incident in the parking lot of a gas station.
Nashville has three games remaining and entered the final week of the regular season in a three-way race to win the Central Division title.

Brig Hart joined us on November 14th, 2015!
Brig Hart, one of the biggest names in network marketing history, is bringing a unique, new perspective to the industry that he has built his life serving. With over 30 years of experience in relational marketing, Brig has been an all-star player, team builder and coach, successfully recruiting millions of people, producing multiple billions in organizational sales and breaking over 500 diamond-ranked professionals in his last business alone.
As a young man in Jacksonville, Florida, Brig enjoyed the carefree life of a surfer whose youthful excesses frequently put him in trouble with local authorities. After a stint in the Marines, a deal worked out with a judge, Brig and his brother open a surf shop on a shoestring budget. They were poor defined and embodied.
Then a series of events unfolded that transformed Brig's personal and spiritual life, and his business fortunes. While some felt that Amway was yesterday's news, Brig started a marketing company that became one of the largest independent sales and marketing machines in Amway history. Tens of thousands of people attended his events. Famous people challenged the audience from Brig's stage. Inspired to never give up, many of Brig's team became wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.
A few years later, Brig and Lita, his wife and partner, felt it was time to "dig a new well". It was time reflect. On a quest for personal health Brig discovered a little known fruit and berry beverage manufactured in Utah named MonaVie. Convinced of the quality and benefits of the product he created R3Global, a sales and marketing company to support his distributors and associates. The goal was to teach, train, motivate and inspire them to be effective and productive. In just over three years the Harts built one of the largest organizations in direct sales history. They recruited over 1 million distributors and created over 1 Billion in sales.

Q: Provide a sort order from string values in mongdb aggregation Let's say I have a collection with documents that look like this:
{
    _id: <someMongoId>,
    status: 'start'
    otherImportantData: 'Important!'
}

...and status can be 'start', 'middle', or 'end'.
I want to sort these documents (specifically in the aggregation framework) by the status field - but I don't want it in alphabetical order; I want to sort in the order start -> middle -> end.
I've been looking for some way to project the status field to a statusValue field that is numeric (and where I get to dictate the numbers each string maps to), although I'd be happy to look at any alternatives.
Let's say I could do that.  I'd take status and map it as such:
start: 1
middle: 2
end: 3
<anything else>: 0

then I could do something like this in the aggregation pipeline:
{
    $sort: { statusValue : 1 }
}

...but I'm not sure how to get those statuses mapped in the aggregation pipeline.
If there is no way to do it, at least I'll know to stop looking.  What would be the next best way?  Using the Map-Reduce features in MongoDB?

A: You can try below aggregation in 3.4.
Use $indexOfArray to locate the position of search string in list of values and $addFields to keep the output index in the extra field in the document followed by $sort to sort the documents
[
 {"$addFields":{ "statusValue":{"$indexOfArray":[[start, middle, end], "$status"]}}},
 {"$sort":{"statusValue":1}}

The Golf Crema Resort is located in the middle of the rural setting of Podere d'Ombriano, which conveys a pleasant taste of tradition, thanks to the ancient farmhouse situation in which are framed the secretariat and the other services. The structures are protected by the Italian fine arts and the game course seems to be, for all intents and purposes, a natural park where many animal species live: playing on Golf Crema is described as a walk in history, immersed in a beautiful bucolic context.
The Golf Crema Resort has the ideal microclimate for playing golf thanks to the fresh breeze coming down from the nearby Bergamo Alps. The Course "Daddy" -18 championship holes, par 73, length 6,580 m – is the longest golf field in Italy. 13 lakes are added to the path, in order to bring the landscape back to the profile that existed before the great drainage occurred in the fourteenth century. The course, opened in 2002, was designed and built by Luigi Rota Caremoli, the only Italian architect member of the "European Institute of Golf Course Architects," which for nearly thirty years has devoted itself exclusively to the design, renovation and development of golf courses both in Italy and abroad.
Golf Club Crema is not yet in our pool of Golf Courses for orders.

I'm concerned that too few vehicles are included in Toyota's recently-announced (October 14, 2010) "limited service campaign" to replace faulty accessory/drive belts in some 2010 Corolla and Matrix models. Owners of the 9400 Corollas affected by the problem should have received letters in mid-October advising them to bring their car in to have the belt replaced.
We had exactly this failure occur while our son was driving our 2010 Corolla this past Wednesday night (October 27th). The shredded belt did a great deal of damage to various components of the engine, all of which our dealer repaired or replaced at no cost. The car had just had its 15,000 mile checkup two weeks before.
However we never received a letter from Toyota corporate. When I found out about the campaign on the web and called the Toyota info line, the phone rep looked up our VIN and found that it was NOT on their list. This suggests to me that the scope of the problem is wider than Toyota knows, or perhaps cares to acknowledge. Do you know if owners of other 2010 Corollas not covered by the limited service campaign have experienced the shredded-belt problem, or is it just us? Thanks.


His presentation was chock full of popular social media/community examples, many of which I'd seen before, but always interesting to see in aggregate. He also outlined how to approach the exercise in leveraging the groundswell with tips on setting objectives, understanding roles, measuring success with metrics, building a business case, etc. The high point of the presentation for me was his discussion related to what Forrester calls, "Social Technographics." It's basically a graphic representation of where customers are on the social media activity ladder. Additionally, Forrester claims to have analytical data that will profile your target customers' social computing patterns by age, country, and gender (that map to the activity ladder). Check out the profile tool. Would be interested to know how they built this tool, but have to admit, it's kinda fun.
All of this and more is explained in the Groundswell book. You can get more resources at the Groundswell site.

I'm headed out to SAP's SAPPHIRE '08 U.S. conference, this year held in Orlando. The conference is an annual pilgrimage for most of my Enterprise Irregular brethren. Over two dozen of us are going to the U.S. gig and will be given access to SAP's executive leadership to get all our questions answered.
So, why so far ahead in using the tools and so behind in offering them simultaneously? This is the single question on my mind as I arrive in Orlando. I'll be flanked with smart guys, so I feel pretty safe.
Most of us will be twittering from the conference. I will be respectful of the conference-spam factor and will only post items I think are uniquely important. If you have a question, you'd like asked of any SAP executive including Leo Apotheker and Henning Kagermann, just send me a DM to @ITSinsider on Twitter. I'll do my best to get it answered.


Like soft serve vanilla ice cream in a dish.
Love to go with Clint in the pickup.

You gots to love the energy and enthusiasm of a puppy. And, you gots to love the stability and tenderness of a dog with age. It's fun to watch them grow, develope into compainions and cattle workers. I love to watch Rosie work cattle. One can see the love she has for her "work."
Thank You for the facebook messsage this morning, it made my day!


Providing ONLY Fellowship-Trained Mohs Surgery with extensive expertise and training to effectively treat many types of skin cancer.
Dr. Adams is a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon who has the extensive expertise and training to effectively treat many types of skin cancer, preserve healthy skin, and ensure excellent cosmetic outcomes. As a part of his training, Dr. Adams completed a one-year long intensive fellowship under the supervision of Dr. Vic Marks and Dr. Mike Ramsey at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania. Dr. Adams mastered the Mohs Surgical techniques, complex microscopic cancer interpretation, and advanced cosmetic reconstruction techniques. Dr. Adams participated in over 700 Mohs surgical cases in training and he has performed more than 14,000 Mohs procedures in private practice. Dr. Adams is a Fellow of the American College of Mohs Surgery, a distinction earned by fewer than 8% of all dermatologists in the United States.
While it's scary to think about, any dermatologist, even if not fellowship-trained, is legally allowed to advertise and perform Mohs Surgery. Have every confidence that our Coastal Skin Surgery & Dermatology Fellowship-Trained Mohs Surgeon can ensure quality care for all patients with non-melanoma skin cancer. Our practice is proud to offer our patients the expertise of a skilled physician and surgeon for Mohs Surgical skin cancer care.
Have You Been Diagnosed with Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer?
Skin cancer is best treated when it is identified early and treated promptly. Dr. Adams has experience working with all types of non-melanoma skin cancer, including rare tumor types and complex situations. Dr. Adams can help you achieve excellent outcomes with this innovative surgical treatment.
Non-melanoma skin cancer generally refers to Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, and is felt to be largely caused by over-exposure to the sun's ultra-violet rays. Non-melanoma skin cancer can be effectively treated, especially when caught early.
Patients living in and around the Emerald Coast Region recognize that Coastal Skin Surgery & Dermatology offers Fellowship-Trained Mohs Surgery for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer.
For more information on getting treatment for skin cancer in Miramar Beach, Niceville, Fort Walton Beach, or the greater Gulf Coast and southern Alabama, call to make your appointment at any of our offices today.
We're available to tell you more about how we can care for you.
Complete the form below and we will review your information and contact you to answer any questions you may have.
Please shower as you normally would on the evening or morning prior to surgery.
Please take all of your normal medicines – even your blood thinners.
Have a normal breakfast or lunch before your surgery. You may eat and drink anything you would normally eat before your surgery.
Please bring a complete and updated list of your current medicines and all allergies. Expect to review these with the surgical team prior to your surgery.
Please bring a photograph of the biopsy site if you were previously instructed to do so.
Understand that the Mohs Surgery and reconstruction will be performed under local anesthesia, similar to the biopsy.
You may be instructed to have a driver come with you on the day of surgery if the surgery is near your eye or eyelid or for other reasons. This recommendation is entirely for your safety and for the safety of others and is not intended to be an inconvenience.
Plan to be in our office approximately 2 to 3 hours for the entire procedure. You are welcome to bring any drinks, snacks, or meals that you wish. Our Mohs Surgery office is glad to provide fresh coffee, bottled water, and juice for your comfort.
Expect to have the nurse review your wound care instructions in great detail prior to your departure.
Expect to receive a "goodie bag" with written instructions, emergency phone numbers, and your initial wound care supplies.
Expect swelling, redness, and bruising around the surgery site. Swelling may last for 48-72 hours and bruising can sometimes last up to 7 days.
Expect to have a pressure bandage for 48 hours after surgery. This dressing is much larger than the one that you will need to apply in the following days.
If you normally wear glasses and your surgery site is around your nose or temples, your glasses may not fit appropriately due to the bandage for the first 2 days.
If your surgery site is on your lip or around the mouth, you will need to avoid anything hot (hot coffee, hot tea, hot soup, etcuntil the numbing medication wears off, usually a couple of hours.
It is possible that you may experience some drainage or bleeding after surgery. If you do experience any bleeding, apply firm constant uninterrupted pressure for 30 minutes, without peaking. If the bleeding continue to persist, then please contact our office or Dr.Adams directly or go to your nearest emergency room.
Take it easy! Plan to simply rest and relax (if possiblfor the first 48 hours. Please do not exercise, go for a long walk, go fishing, or golfing on the day of your surgery.
Avoid bending over or lifting any object heavier than a gallon of milk.
You may gradually resume your normal workout and exercise over the course of the next seven days after surgery. Too much exertion within the first week can potentially induce undesired bleeding at or under the surgery site. If this occurs, please hold uninterrupted pressure for 30 minutes and notify our office or Doctor Adams or go to your nearest Emergency Room.
The investment that you make in yourself after your surgery will pay great dividends for your surgical outcome!

Value Stream Mapping: Where's the Value?


We all know that birds migrate every autumn in a predictable way, but every fall we learn new things about migration, and every fall birds do unpredictable things. The most exciting part of being a scientist is learning things no one ever knew before. People have been watching and studying birds for thousands of years, yet there is a lot still waiting to be discovered. This week two scientists who correspond with Journey South made new discoveries. One follows a Peregrine Falcon via satellite to learn more precisely how Peregrines migrate. The other is collecting data from oil platforms on the Gulf. People on the platforms have been noticing birds for decades but it's only been recently that ornithologists started collecting data there.
Read Geoff Holroyd's report below.
Make a map of the course this falcon has traveled so far.
Then answer Challenge Question #8: "How many miles has peregrine #5735 travelled?"
To respond to this question please follow the instructions at the end of this report.
Geoff Holroyd writes, "On July 6, I and Jeff Dixon, senior warden, Wood Buffalo National Park, caught the female peregrine at her nest near Fort Chipewyan in northeastern Alberta. The falcon had 3 healthy young even though she was only one year old. Often peregrines do not nest until they are at least 2 years old. We could tell her age since one year old peregrines have a brown feathers on their back. By year two their back is slaty blue.
"By mid September, the female was making flights away from her nest site but returned daily. On September 17 she flew 63 km east to the south shore of Lake Athabasca.
Oct. 8--Pine Islands, east of Key West.
Oct. 11--north coast of Cuba. She was at the same location on October 14."
When she stayed there for three days and seemed to be settling it, Geoff figured she must be overwintering there. She reminded him of the falcon they followed last year that "traveled south very rapidly and stopped abruptly south of Veracruz, Mexico. It remained there for the winter." As a scientist, it is Geoff's job to make predictions and test them. Geoff predicted that this year's marked Peregrine would remain in northern Cuba.
But she didn't! On October 17, Peregrine Falcon #5735 had moved 535 km southeast, and was roosting in the foothills of Sierra Maestra 30 km west of Santiago de Cuba. Then, "during the night of September 20/21, she roosted on the south coast of Haiti, immediately south of Port-au-Prince. She is about 400 km southeast of her location on September 17 on the south coast of Cuba."
Geoff wonders if she will continue southeast and fly over the Caribbean Sea to South America, or if she'll follow the island chain east to the Leeward and Windward Islands. He promises to keep us up to date on where she goes from there.
Location of the 5 oil platforms where scientists are based in Gulf of Mexico.
Bob Russell, Journey South's correspondent from an oil platform on the Gulf of Mexico, had lots of news for us this week, now that he's back on the platform after all that "tropical weather mayhem ended."
Bob told Journey North, "It's been literally a Peregrine cafe out here this fall. They have been common at all platforms, and our farthest platform has had up to 18 Peregrines roosting on it at a given time. Their favorite food seems to be Least Bitterns, Purple Gallinules, Green Herons, and Soras, though we rarely see these species on the platforms." How do Peregrines find birds that the biologists don't? Bob explains, "The eyesight of Peregrines must be phenomenal: sometimes a Peregrine will see a migrant over the water, and fly out so far that I can barely see the Peregrine with 10X binoculars; then the falcon will fly back with its prey."
Many scientists assume that Peregrine Falcons do all their hunting in the daytime, but Bob mentioned, "Much hunting is done at night during the active passage of migrants aloft. The presence of the platforms offshore has clearly had a profound influence on migrating Peregrines."
Bob has been too busy with his data collection to have time to write about all the migration events he's seen this fall, but he did put together a vivid account of a thrilling migration night on September 15.
Bob told us that not only are the scientists seeing birds moving south, they also see, and find on radar, birds moving north! "These northbound movements begin at first light, and they continue through morning and even into the afternoon. Our platform-based work indicates that these return movements are composed primarily of shorter-distance migrants that spend the winter along the Gulf Coast, and which accidentally "overshot" the coastline during the previous night and are attempting to make it back to land." Bob notes that although birds overshoot their destination on land as well as over the Gulf, they are easier to study from the oil platforms. Why do you suppose that is?
Bob adds, "The commonest birds recently (well, before the latest period of extended SE winds) have been Marsh Wrens and House Wrens," and he and his team have seen a host of other short-distance migrants. He says, "Platform usage by these 'overshoot migrants' has been heavy, and because of the abundance of migratory moths and other insects offshore during the fall, these birds are usually able to feed successfully. The existence of a network of platform rest stops on which the overshoot migrants can stop and grab a moth snack is very clearly beneficial to these birds!"
Speaking of insects, Bob notes, "We finally started to see a few Monarch Butterflies--but only a few. Gulf Fritillaries have been most common." They've seen lots of other butterflies out on the platforms, including "Painted Lady, American Painted Lady, Red Admiral, Buckeye, Question Mark, CloudlessSulphur, Little Sulphur, Ocola Skipper, and Many-banded Dagger Wing."
Bob adds, "In the moth department, we saw massive offshore movements of several species of hawkmoths (also called sphingid moths or sphinx moths) during the Oct 7-12 post-frontal period. Pink-spotted Hawkmoths have been most abundant, followed by Tersa Sphinx and Mournful Sphinx, plus a few vagrant Esso Sphinx." And to provide further food for birds, "Dragonflies continue in force: Green Darners, Wandering Gliders, Spot-winged Gliders, and Black-mantled Saddlebags have been joined by Red-mantled Saddlebags and a few Marl Pennants."
Can you find any of these insects in a field guide? Which ones can be found where you live?
Last week we asked why Dave Evans marks owl flight feathers with a permanent marker, and how long these markings last. Second Grader Paul Mowery, in Nicole Long's class in Clarinda, Iowa, said, "I think that they use permanent markers so the markings won't wash off when rain falls." Permanent markers can last through rain and even sunlight as long as the feathers last. But hawks lose their flying feathers one by one, growing a complete new set roughly every year so the feathers will always be strong.
Beth & Lorraine Colford-Feckter do a great job of explaining. "He marks the wing feathers to help in aging the owl the next time it is caught. If the saw-whet owls molt their wing feathers in a certain order and the bird is caught again, they will be able to tell how old it is. The permanent marker lasts until the owl molts the feather."

RM5 Uncut Banknotes - New Series
The new green RM5 denomination note issued in September 1999 depicts the "Wawasan 2020" theme of the current development Malaysian currency note series which reflects Malaysia's economic development and achievement towards a fully developed country. The construction sector has been selected as the design motif of the RM5 note, the fifth denomination issued in the current series (new series).
The obverse of the new RM5 note retains the dominant intaglio potrait of the First Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the distinctive anticopy square in the centre of the note. The predominant design emphasises the construction sector. This is represented by landmark buildings such as KLIA, Petronas Twin Towers and a geographical map bearing the landmark symbols representing Putrajaya and Cyberjaya. The security features in the note include the security thread with the repeated "BNM RM5" text, three-dimensional watermark potrait, anticopy feature known as "PEAK (R)" and security fibres in the paper.
Signed by Ali Abul Hassan.
RM5 Uncut Banknotes - Old Series
The green RM5 denomination note issued in January 1984 incorporates designs which are based on traditional Malaysian ornaments, wood-carvings, craft and flora and a vignette of a prominent building in the Federal Capital. It is the second denomination of the second series (old series).
The obverse of the RM5 note bears the potrait of the First Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The general background design includes patterns based on traditional ornaments, batik, wood-carvings and other crafts. On the reverse side of the note, the predominant design is a vignette of the National Palace, one of the major landmarks in the Federal Capital. The national flower, the Hibiscus is depicted on the lower right hand corner of the note. The security features in the note include the optical security thread, the latent image of the denomination numeral "5", the see-through feature and the watermark portrait of the First Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Signed by Ahmad bin Mohd Don.
