 What effect did global warming have on 2017?

Nine of the 10 warmest years on modern record have been since 2005. This was the warmest without El Niño's influence, and it was marked by climate-related disasters.
The year 2017 was one of the planet's three warmest years on record—and the warmest without El Niño conditions that give rising global temperatures an extra boost, U.S. and UK government scientists announced on Thursday.
The year was marked by disasters around the globe of the kind expected in a warming climate: powerful hurricanes tore up the islands of the Caribbean and the Texas and Florida coasts; Europe experienced a heat wave so severe it was nicknamed "Lucifer"; record-breaking wildfires raged across California, Portugal and Chile; and exceptional rainfall flooded parts of South Asia and the U.S. Midwest and triggered landslides that killed hundreds of people in Africa.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's annual State of the Climate: Global Climate Report has been documenting the warming of the planet and the effects of those rising temperatures. With the UK's Met Office, it declared 2017 the third-warmest year, after 2016 and 2015. In a separate analysis, NASA said that 2017 was the second warmest on record, based on a different method of analyzing global temperatures. The World Meteorological Organization said temperatures in 2015 and 2017 were "virtually indistinguishable."
"The annual change from year to year can bounce up and down," Derek Arndt, head of the monitoring branch at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, said during a conference call, "but the long-term trends are very clear."
Nine of the 10 warmest years in 138 years of modern record-keeping have occurred since 2005, and the six warmest have all been since 2010, NOAA noted.
Globally, temperatures in 2017 were 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) above the 20th Century average, according to the report. The warmth prevailed over almost every corner of the globe, the agencies found. Hot, dry conditions contributed to record wildfires on three continents, droughts in Africa and Montana, and heat waves so intense that planes had to be grounded in Phoenix.
Ocean temperatures also experienced their third-warmest year on record, well after the last strong El Niño conditions dissipated in early 2016. Warm oceans can fuel powerful tropical storms like the three hurricanes that devastated Puerto Rico and other parts of the United States.
The reports noted that 2017 was the hottest year on record that did not coincide with El Niño conditions, a periodic warming of surface waters in parts of the Pacific that tends to increase temperatures globally. Gavin A. Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said during the conference call that if you were to remove the influence of the El Niño pattern, the past four years all would have seen record-breaking average temperatures, with each year warmer than the last, including 2017.
Regionally, declining sea-ice trends continued in the Arctic, with a record-low sea-ice extent recorded in the first three months of 2017 and the second-lowest annual average.
The Arctic has been warming faster than the rest of the globe, but scientists have relatively little data on current and historical temperatures there. NASA leans more on interpolation to estimate average temperature change in the region, while NOAA scientists exclude much of the Arctic data instead. It's largely that distinction, the scientists said, that explains the difference in how the two agencies ranked the year.
Last year was also the third-warmest for the United States. NOAA's U.S. year-in-review report, released last week, calculated that 2017's weather and climate disasters cost the country $306 billion.
Schmidt said that NASA's models in 2016 correctly predicted that last year would rank second, and that the same models say much the same for 2018.
"It will almost certainly be a top-five year," Schmidt said.

 Can you tell me something about Orpha-F. Deveaux?

Orpha-F. Deveaux (July 24, 1872 – December 1933) was an American organist, pianist, and music educator. Born in Saginaw, Michigan, he studied at the New York College of Music with Mat Schmidt and privately in Montreal with Alexis Contant and Percival J. Illsley. He began working as an organ and piano teacher in Montreal circa 1901 and in 1905 he obtained the post of organist at St-Nom-de-Jésus Church in that city. He became a faculty member and secretary of the Conservatoire national de musique in 1914, where he taught courses in organ, piano, theory, and harmony. Among his notable pupils were Claude Champagne, J.-J. Gagnier, Paul Pratt, and Hedwige Saint-Jacques. He left Montreal in 1923 to assume the post of organist with the Dominican fathers in Fall River, Massachusetts. He died in Hartford, Connecticut in 1933.

 Describe the concerns that Virginia officials have regarding Donald Trump's supporters potentially causing mayhem during the Super Tuesday presidential primaries.

Officials in Virginia’s largest jurisdiction want to close public schools during the Super Tuesday presidential primaries, saying they fear that supporters of Republican front-runner Donald Trump could cause mayhem at the polls.
The concerns stem mainly from a state Republican Party decision — which Trump opposes — to require voters to affirm that they are Republicans before casting a ballot in the March 1 Republican presidential primary.
“If you say: ‘I don’t want to do it,’ I have to say: ‘You don’t get a ballot,’ ” Fairfax County Electoral Board Secretary Katherine K. Hanley told the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday before it voted to ask school officials to keep students home.
Virginia voters do not register by party, and some Republican leaders in the state say the pledge will keep Democrats from casting ballots. Others, including Trump, argue that it could dissuade voters who want to support a Republican candidate but are frustrated with the party establishment.
A total of 167 schools in Fairfax will be used as polling stations for the primaries, with up to 250,000 voters expected. Although voting generally takes place in gyms and cafeterias while students are elsewhere, Hanley said she believes the risk of arguments or fights over the pledge is significant enough to justify canceling classes for the county’s more than 180,000 students.
Corey A. Stewart, chairman of Trump’s campaign in Virginia, called such concerns “preposterous,” saying there have been no threats of violence over the issue.
“This is just an attempt by Democrats and probably some establishment Republicans to malign and disparage Trump supporters and also to characterize conservative speech as hate speech,” said Stewart, a Republican who is chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.
Fairfax school officials decided in October to open schools two hours late on March 1, to accommodate what is expected to be an unusually high number of primary voters in an election that has 13 Republican and three Democratic candidates. In past years, schools have been open during primaries but closed for the general election in November, when turnout is higher.
Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Karen Garza said the request to close the schools for the primary “came as a complete surprise.” She said she would consult with county officials, but for now, she did not believe such a step was necessary.
A Fairfax police spokeswoman said law enforcement authorities so far do not believe that the primary poses any unusual security challenges.
In neighboring Loudoun County, General Registrar Judy Brown said well-publicized incidents of scuffling and name calling at Trump rallies across the country have sparked fear among some primary-day volunteers.
“We have had people saying they would prefer not to work the election,” Brown said. She said she is talking to county officials about whether to implement extra security precautions but nothing has been decided.
Election officials are expecting about 10 percent more voters than in 2008, the last time both parties held a presidential primary. Some officials said their concerns were focused on crowds, rather than on Trump or the pledge.
Fairfax County Supervisor John Cook (R-Braddock) raised the point that voters don’t have to go through the usual school security procedures when entering. “We are putting out a sign to every predator and anyone who wants to get in and cause mischief with our children if we have school open during this primary,” Cook said.
Fairfax County supervisors voted 9 to 1 to ask the school system to cancel classes.
The lone no vote was Kathy Smith (D-Sully), who said the two-hour delay was sufficient. Other county lawmakers said it’s better to be safe than sorry.

 Describe the project that is currently happening related to unconditional Basic Income in Switzerland.

On the 5th of June we are voting on the introduction of an unconditional Basic Income in Switzerland. The idea is that every person living in Switzerland will receive a Basic Income every month, to ensure a dignified existence and participation in public life for the entire population.
Even after a YES at the ballot box, it will still take a long time until the unconditional Basic Income becomes a reality. Who knows what will happen when it does… Let’s already try it out NOW, to learn more about the effects of a Basic Income together.
In order to start immediately, we are fundraising HERE for the first Basic Income of Switzerland.
As soon as we have reached our goal, we will organize a raffle and give one person 2’500 CHF per Month for one year, unconditionally.
In parallel we have started to build a website where we can regularly fundraise, organize raffles, and experience the Basic Income together.
Contributing with money here on wemakeit is completely independent of the raffle. You can also just participate in the raffle, just support, or both.
The entire sum we raise here flows into the Basic Income ’pot’ and will be raffled off to one or more people.
This project ended successfully on 7/5/2016 20:00!

 Respond in 366 words. Tell me more about the study on non-addictive opioid alternatives.

Scientists are now designing and developing safe and effective substitute painkillers that could serve as alternatives to opioid. It is reported that more than 60,000 people died of opioid overdoses in the U.S. in 2016. With the possible development of the non-addictive opioid alternatives, it might end the worldwide opioid addiction crisis that led to the death of many people.
The findings of the study were published in the journal Cell. The study was led by the researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, according to Futurity.
Bryan Roth, the co-author of the study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said that numerous people are dying each year in the U.S. because of opioid overdoses. He further said that more than 50,000 people died in 2016 and described it as a terrible crisis.
In the new study, the scientists examined a receptor protein known as the kappa opioid receptor. This protein could interact with opioids in the brain. It also binds to a molecule related to morphine. This is the first time the researchers discovered the structure of this protein, in which it interacts with a drug.
The scientists explained that knowing and understanding the structure of this protein and how it could interact with the opioids could help them develop drugs that only bind to that certain protein. This could lead to safer and effective painkillers. Although the protein could produce side effects like hallucinations or feelings of unease when it interacts with drugs, the scientists said that they could design and develop drugs that could only cause a pain-relieving effect, according to The Guardian.
They also stated that the kappa opioid receptor could not trigger problems such as constipation, addiction risk, and death caused by overdose. The scientists investigated the structures of different molecules that interact with the kappa opioid receptor and how the molecules interact with the receptors. They also tested them in cell structures.
Roth said that they basically solved the structure and then they could make the medications that have the signaling properties they desired. He further said that it might take some years before these drugs could be available to those who need them.

 What is going on in Belgium with racism lately?

Belgium has been faced with a reckoning over racism in the country, after two major scandals in a single week.
On Thursday a youth movement that appeared to champion traditional Flemish Conservative values was exposed as a cover for a far right anti-Semitic group that was plotting to infiltrate Dutch-speaking mainstream political parties.
In an unrelated case, a black weather presenter on the lead French-language broadcaster revealed she is regularly targeted with racist abuse in a tearful video posted online.
The Schild en Vreinden group was seen as Flemish nationalist but still respectable until an investigation by broadcaster VRT revealed that its closed online discussion groups were rife with anti-Semitic hate speech and imagery.
The exposé also revealed the group planned to take over conventional political groups such as the Flemish Youth Council and hoped to stand in local elections for the N-VA, which is Belgium’s most popular party and a member of the ruling coalition led by Charles Michel, the prime minister.
Belgium’s leading French language broadsheet covered both stories on its front page on Friday under the headline “racism must not pass”.
Mr Michel condemned both Schild en Vrienden, which translates as Shield and Friends, and the racism suffered by Cécile Djunga, who appears on the RTBF station and is also a stand-up comic.
Miss Djunga posted a video on Facebook after she received a complaint that she “was too black to be on television”.
The video of the tearful presenter, who explains she spoke out because too many Belgians believe racism does not exist in their country, went viral and has now been viewed nearly 2 million times.
Speaking at the annual gala of a Belgian Jewish group on Thursday night, Mr Michel said, “I’m going to instruct the National Security Council to strengthen the operational instruments for fighting anti-Semitism, racism and xenophobia”.
“We cannot accept the launching of insulting and hateful messages at a presenter based on the colour of her skin,” the leader of the francophone Liberal party said.

 Describe how Packer can be used to simplify server deployments.

For me, one of the greatest challenges of building our solution was making sure we had the ability to deploy on-premise, or on any cloud provider.
At the root of all the tools we use to make this possible is Packer.
Traditionally when deploying a cluster of machines you often do the provisioning through a configuration management tool like Ansible, Puppet or Chef.
But whether you are provisioning thousands of servers or only a dozen, not only will it take a considerable amount of time but also every step along the way things can fail and very often does, even with idempotent provisioning scripts.
That's because even if it ran correctly last time, maybe links on the internet have changed or an external software package was updated during provisioning and it no longer works. You end up trusting a lot of the internet to be stable which just does not happen in reality.
By using Packer to pack your OS and dependencies into one image you have defended against the instability of the outside world without sacrificing reproducibility. Throw packer into your CI/CD pipeline and you can achieve an immutable server configuration and not have to worry about any of your cluster nodes ending up in an inconsistent state. When one gets ill you don't nurse it, you throw it away and get a new one aligning to the Pets vs Cattle analogy.
We have seen in theory how packer can be applied to your production servers, but can the same concept be applied to your development environment?
The short answer is yes, so stay tuned (feel free to sign up for our mailing list), because in the next article we will get you familiar with Packer while setting up a "devbox" for you and your team. It's been a great time saver for me, and I hope it will help you too.
Check out a follow-up post on how to build a devbox with Packer, Vagrant and Ansible.

 Describe the Dream Chaser Free-Flight Test.

SPARKS, Nev., November 13, 2017 – Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) announces a successful atmospheric Free-Flight test of its Dream Chaser spacecraft, signaling the program is another achievement closer to orbital operations.
The full-scale Dream Chaser test vehicle was lifted from a Columbia Helicopters Model 234-UT Chinook helicopter on Saturday, released and flew a pre-planned flight path ending with an autonomous landing on Runway 22L at Edwards Air Force Base, California.
“The Dream Chaser flight test demonstrated excellent performance of the spacecraft’s aerodynamic design and the data shows that we are firmly on the path for safe, reliable orbital flight,” said Mark Sirangelo, corporate vice president of SNC’s Space System business area.
The first orbital vehicle is scheduled to go to the International Space Station as soon as 2020 for at least six missions as part of NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services 2 contract (CRS2). The missions will supply astronauts with much needed supplies and technical support elements and enable the gentle return of scientific experiments. The test vehicle was originally developed under the Commercial Crew Integrated Capabilities agreement (CCiCap).
“The Dream Chaser spacecraft today has proven its atmospheric flight performance along with its return and landing capability. This advances our program and the Dream Chaser towards orbital flight, while meeting the final milestone for our NASA CCiCap agreement and supporting milestone 5 of the CRS2 contract,” Sirangelo added.
The test verified and validated the performance of the Dream Chaser spacecraft in the final approach and landing phase of flight, modeling a successful return from the space station. Most critically, by flying the same flight path that would be used returning from orbit, this free-flight proves the highly important landing attributes needed to bring back science and experiments from the space station.
SNC and NASA will evaluate information from the test, including the Dream Chaser aerodynamic and integrated system performance from 12,400 feet altitude through main landing gear touchdown, nose landing gear touchdown and final rollout to wheel-stop on the runway. The Edwards Air Force Base runway is very similar to the Kennedy Space Center Shuttle Landing Facility runway that Dream Chaser will land on for CRS2 flights.
This approach and landing test expands on phase one flight testing, with key differences including adding specific program test inputs into the trajectory, which helps the engineers refine the aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle. Saturday’s test also included orbital vehicle avionics and flight software for the first time, providing orbital vehicle design validation.
“I’m so proud of the Dream Chaser team for their continued excellence. This spacecraft is the future and has the ability to change the way humans interact with space, and I couldn’t be happier with SNC’s dedicated team and the results of the test,” said Fatih Ozmen, CEO of SNC.
The Dream Chaser has been at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center since January undergoing a variety of tests in preparation for the Free-Flight. The spacecraft used the same historic hangar occupied by the Enterprise Shuttle.
Owned and operated by SNC, the Dream Chaser spacecraft is a reusable, multi-mission space utility vehicle. It is capable of transportation services to and from low-Earth orbit, where the International Space Station resides, and is the only commercial, lifting-body vehicle capable of a runway landing. The Dream Chaser Cargo System was selected by NASA to provide cargo delivery and disposal services to the space station under the Commercial Resupply Services 2 (CRS2) contract. All Dream Chaser CRS2 cargo missions are planned to land at Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing Facility.
Recognized as one of “The World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Space,” Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) provides customer-focused advanced technology solutions in the areas of space, aviation, electronics and systems integration. SNC’s Space Systems business area based in Louisville, Colorado, designs and manufactures advanced spacecraft, space vehicles, rocket motors and spacecraft subsystems and components for the U.S. Government, commercial customers, as well as for the international market.

 Describe an example of technology being used to teach reading in a classroom.

I once told someone that when I got my Kindle, I’d re-discovered the joy of reading. It was almost like when I’d first learned how to read books for the first time as a small child. But what happens when our schools try teaching a child how to read using a Kindle? And what happens if the teachers are using Kindles for an entire classroom full of fifth graders?
“We have several quotes from them, and it always ends with ‘And now I love reading,'” the fifth grade teacher told a local news crew.
There’s eight Kindles that they’re sharing in the classroom, and because they’re all registered to one account, each ebook can appear on six different Kindles. That will ultimately save money for the school district, the teacher believes, especially since she’s sharing all the Kindles and ebooks with a special education teacher. The school district has a foundation which awarded a grant to the two teachers last June. They’re using the money to purchase the Kindles — and they’re finding it also has other advantages.
It seems to work as equalizer for the students’ books, since with printed books, they might have felt intimidated by the book’s weight and the large number of printed pages. (“Usually I don’t go near big books,” young Madelyn explained. “But you can’t really tell, and it goes by faster!”) Struggling readers might also have been embarrassed to be seen with the skinnier remedial books, but on the Kindle, no one can tell the difference. And when the students come to a word that they don’t understand, they can look-up the word in the Kindle’s built-in dictionary! “It’s great for vocabulary,” says Ms. Sayles.
The fifth grade teacher also made another good point: kids today already seem to be living in a “technology screen world.” So I had to wonder if she had mixed feelings about giving the kids yet another screen to focus on when they’re already saturated in that screen-oriented lifestyle. “I’m not sure if it will move them away from it,” Ms. Sayles told the newspaper, “but I think if it can get them to read then it’s OK….

 What do we know about Battle For Azeroth so far?

Players can expect the 8.0 prepatch content to unlock several weeks earlier.
World of Warcraft's next expansion, Battle for Azeroth, will launch on August 14 game director Ion Hazzikostas revealed during a preview event held earlier this week at Blizzard's California HQ. The seventh expansion for the nearly 14-year-old MMO takes players to the high seas in search of allies to aid in a renewed conflict between the Horde and the Alliance. Battle for Azeroth isn't just all fuzzy nostalgia, however, as Blizzard is cramming in more than a few unconventional ideas—from Warcraft 3-inspired Warfronts to the highly dynamic Island Expeditions, where teams of three race against either human or advanced AI opponents in a super fun PVPVE mode (more on that later today).
First revealed last year at Blizzcon 2017, Battle for Azeroth will let players set sail for the islands of Kul'Tiras and Zandalar. Each faction will have their own continent to explore while questing up to the new level cap of 120. In terms of features, all the usual suspects from a major WoW expansion are here, including new dungeons, raids, and progression systems.
If you've been following World of Warcraft these past years (and why shouldn't you, it's never been better), Battle for Azeroth follows the defeat of the Burning Legion. The corrupted cosmos-destroying Titan Sargeras is finally beaten, but he first managed to plunge his mountainous sword into the planet and now a magical resource known as Azerite is bleeding to the surface. Without a giant demon-lord to kill, the warring factions of Horde and Alliance can finally address old wounds—like, I don't know, the fact that Sylvanas left King Varian Wrynn to die, maybe?
During the preview event, Hazzikostas also revealed some new details. In a similar fashion to previous expansions, Battle for Azeroth will be preceded by a prepatch to help bridge the gap between it and Legion. This prepatch will act as a prologue and will include events where Alliance players retake the Undercity (formerly Lordaeron) while Horde players burn Teldrassil to the ground (good riddance) as the conflict boils over into all-out war. While Hazzikostas couldn't say exactly when the prepatch will arrive, he did say players could expect it "weeks earlier."
In addition to the prepatch, Hazzikostas detailed what Allied Races will be available at launch. Unlike previous expansions, Battle for Azeroth isn't introducing a brand new race to play as. Instead there are variants of already existing ones. Those who prepurchased Battle for Azeroth can already unlock the Lightforged draenei, void elves, Nightborne, and Highmountain tauren. But as we've already said, dataminers have uncovered a slew of other Allied Races. Hazzikostas said that, at launch, the Dark Iron dwarves and Mag'Har orcs will become available to unlock. Meanwhile, the portly Kul'Tiran humans and menacing Zandalari trolls will not become available until later because they're a crucial part of Battle for Azeroth's story.
Lastly, Hazzikostas ended up spilling the beans on some cool details regarding Warfronts. This 20-player PVE mode emulates Warcraft's RTS past by challenging players to gather resources, build a base, and lead soldiers in an assault against an NPC fortress occupied by the opposing faction.
It's a cool-sounding system. Each Warfront is tied to a zone in Azeroth that is owned by either the Horde or Alliance. In order to unlock the Warfront, players on the opposing faction must stockpile enough resources like crafting materials, gold, and Azerite. This process is region-wide so all North American players, for example, will work towards one stockpile. Once enough resources are gathered, the Warfront is opened and players of that faction can queue to assault the opposing faction's fortress. If they succeed, that corresponding zone will become theirs, unlocking special world bosses and activities until the losing faction can stockpile their own resources and trigger a Warfront to take it back. The first Warfront will take place in the Arathi Highlands but more will become available in later updates.
It's a complex system that is a bit hard to wrap my head around, but I'm looking forward to checking it out once it becomes available either during the alpha or at launch. To recap: Battle for Azeroth will go live on August 14. If you're already playing you can preorder it for a free character boost and the first four Allied Races. For more on Battle for Azeroth, check out all the fun things dataminers have found.

 What do you think of the new Wink wall-based home control device?

At long last Wink is showing off its planned wall-based home control device — a light switch and touchscreen combo that will retail for $300. The device, which was rumored earlier this year, will let consumers who have Wink home automation systems control their homes from a wall panel and the two adjacent light switches. I like the idea since it lets people who don’t have a phone (guests, children) manage the home.
The device is available for pre-order on Amazon and will hit [company]Home Depot[/company] shelves in time for the holidays (the site says it ships around Thanksgiving). It also will coincide with an app update and new partners for Wink, including Nest. According to the Wink press release over 100 devices from 15 brands now work with the Wink system. That’s a decent roster of devices, although the Wink platform itself has some growing to do before I recommend it to my non–tech-savvy friends.
In my tests I found the hardware difficult to work with, but the software is promising. The Relay wall switch will replace an existing light switch in the home, and adds a variety of sensors such as temperature, humidity, proximity and sound. It also promises to one day function as an intercom thanks to its speakers and microphone. Wink recommends having a professional install the switch.
A possible trend in the home automation space: Touchscreens deployed around the house to act as an alternative to phones, with this switch and the Logitech Harmony remote that contains a 2.5-inch capacitive touchscreen to run the smartphone app. I’m excited about using cast-off handsets and tablets as remotes for my home automation system, scattered around the house or in the guest room, so it stands to reason others might be excited about that opportunity as well. Not everyone carries their smart hone around in their pocket all the time.

 "I heard some atheists were visiting the smithsonian today. Seems strange."

That… is creepy. People take their kids to this place? Poor f’kn kids! They are gonna be confused if they ever stumble into the Smithsonian.
True that, but at least they may have more sides to an argument than just one. Then they will be able to make up their own minds than kids who don’t go. That’s why I support learning all about religions and sciences and any such things, because to not do so is being closed-minded right? At least these atheists went and checked it out. They were brave and went and saw it for themselves. Kudos. I’m sure the smithsonian isn’t perfect either lol. Somewhere in there there may be a balance, who knows?

 What causes conflicts when working with Testcontainers?

Testcontainers uses the docker-java client library, which in turn depends on JAX-RS, Jersey and Jackson libraries. These libraries in particular seem to be especially prone to conflicts with test code/application under test code. As such, these libraries are 'shaded' into the core testcontainers JAR and relocated under org.testcontainers.shaded to prevent class conflicts.

 I need help with creating an elevator pitch for my novel.

You remember you have to grab every opportunity to sell your book. You might never get this chance ever again. You’re nervous. Your lip quivers. Your book is great, but it’s not easy to explain. You’ve had a bit to drink. The agent looks at you quizzically. The story flies out of your head.
‘It’s a sort of spy thing,’ you mumble.
‘Oh. Well, good luck with it,’ she says, looking over your shoulder.
And you go home to cry on your bed. You’ll never interest anyone in your book. You will probably die alone and unloved. You are a failure.
Dry your tears. You will sell your book, because we’re going to find out what works.
We are going to learn the elevator pitch.
The setting didn’t have to be a party. It could have been a wedding. It could even have been an elevator. Anywhere an agent or publisher might devote a minute to you.
The elevator pitch is a summary of what it is about your book, and about you, that means your book will sell. It quickly and efficiently shows people that you’re a player, not a dreamer. The aim is to get them to read the book – to get on to the next level.
Imagine you have less than ten words to tell your friend why they should go out and buy your book: what will you say? That’s your blockbuster concept.
Can you explain the concept of your novel in less than ten words? If you can’t, find out the five ways to Discover Blockbuster Spy Novel Plot Ideas.
Part Two of the elevator pitch is the Killer Logline, one or two sentences that explain what the main characters and conflict in your novel are.
The logline explains the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, HOW and WHY of your story. There’s an art to writing a logline and Writing a Killer Logline introduces the Killogator formula that makes generating it easier.
Third, we need the sniper rifle.
Oh no, hang on, wrong article.
Part Three of the elevator pitch is the Short Synopsis of Power: the whole story told in a single page – five hundred words. You should memorise your synopsis so you can recite it to a friend, or an agent. Their response should be “Wow, sounds great!” If you’re struggling, try the tips in Writing a Short Synopsis of Power.
I know I know… You’ve tried it before and it didn’t work. You couldn’t remember the logline. The synopsis came out all wrong. People looked bored or sceptical. You froze. We are back on the bed, crying.
Come on, we can do this. We’ve made big strides, just one last skill to upgrade and our elevator pitch will be irresistible.
Practice. Pitch your book to everyone you meet. Most of them will be much easier to pitch to than a real agent or publisher, because it’s not their job to turn you down.
Note what people say. If it’s anything other than, ‘Awesome!’ then we have more work to do. Hone. Hone. Hone. Gain confidence. Get it memorised. And then on that glorious day when you bump into the perfect literary agent you’ll be ready and you’ll nail it.
‘So, what’s your book about?’ the agent asks.
And you hit her with your Awesome High Concept.
And you’re off. You jab her with the Killer Logline.
Now she knows she’s dealing with a pro. She might still say no, but you’ve given her the information she needs to decide if she’s interested.

 Name 7 wrestlers who are the best at using Twitter.

First off, thanks for all the feedback on last week’s debut of Seven Things. I was very appreciated. Much like last week, this week’s list is formed off reading Twitter. Twitter is a great outlet to interact with wrestlers. More than ever, most pro wrestlers are accessible in a way past generations of fans would dream of.
Some wrestlers use social media well, some clearly do not. If there’s enough readers wanting a list of the seven worst wrestlers on Twitter, there may be a sequel but for now, here’s the seven best wrestlers on Twitter.
AJ provides a rare WWE Twitter that’s entertaining. Most WWE Superstar Twitter accounts feel like robotic beings using their mobile devices as puppets. While playing into the WWE storyline, she finds a way to bring humor and show her clever side despite selling the angle.
As a female on WWE TV consistently (one DOES exist), AJ has a lot of young female fans and she seems to understand the importance of being a role model. Embracing it, she is often seen interacting with many of her fans.
One of the more interesting wrestlers on Twitter, Akuma usually gives his commentary on WWE and TNA shows. Unlike many wrestlers, he doesn’t shove it in your faces or try to propel his opinions with the fact that he’s in the business but he does provide some insight into the world of wrestling through the eyes of a wrestler.
Reading Akuma’s live tweets, you get a glimpse into someone who loves watching wrestling and is passionate about what he sees. That should be relating to any wrestling fan who hasn’t become too jaded. The thing I love most about Akuma is that he doesn’t seem to have agendas. That’s very understated in today’s wrestling climate and quite refreshing to see. Just a dude in wrestling who still loves pro wrestling.
I’ve always found that the art of the retweet is almost as funny as anything you can think of yourself. Matt Jackson perfects this. Between crazy fans and crazier wrestlers, Matt brings light to the simplest yet most hilarious things on Twitter.
Personally, I enjoy that Matt has a lot of jokes about topical things outside of the wrestling world. The wrestling tweets are great but it’s fun to see wrestlers get in the action of every day life humor. Nick Jackson is also worth a follow as the Young Bucks are the two of the few wrestlers I’ve followed and never considered unfollowing.
Forget wrestlers. Big E Langston is one of the funniest follows on Twitter, bar none. When debuting, many stereotyped him as another dullard like Ryback or Mason Ryan but Big E proved to be a compelling performers in the ring and a five star tweeter outside of the ring.
Adam Copeland joined Twitter after claiming he never would and we thank the Maple Syrup Gods he went back on his word. As mentioned earlier, most WWE wrestlers on Twitter are robot puppets. While not an active WWE wrestler, I was afraid Edge would be one of “those” on social media. Wow, were those fears Con-Chair-To’d.
Edge’s honesty is so refreshing to read. He admits flat out that he no longer watches RAW and he doesn’t owe it to anyone to continue doing so. Fans sometimes hold wrestlers to a standard that they have to stay in the bubble for their entire lives and I’m glad Edge defends himself against that as seen in the example tweets. In general very humorous and witty, Edge is a fantastic follow.
Despite being number two, Kevin Steen is probably the overall most entertaining wrestler on Twitter. From his dealing with numbskull hate tweets to commentary of wrestling shows he watches to the glimpses of his life as a father and husband, reading his Twitter page is often a joy.
Steen is very connected with the internet audience and understands how to utilize a tool like Twitter to both his advantages and the reader’s. A line very few wrestlers are able to balance. Despite making jokes about others, he never seems to come off as mean spirited or in poor taste like many other wrestlers. With his humor and genuine naure, Kevin Steen’s Twitter page guarantees at least one entertaining tidbit per day.
Unfortunately, Scott Steiner’s Twitter career was short lived due to his battle in court with TNA. Of all the things to criticize TNA for, taking Scott Steiner’s Twitter away from us should be #1. At least we can say Steiner got his tweets worth before having to stop. Holding nothing back, Scott made sure to let the world know just what he thought about Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff. Something every wrestling fan should love.
Steiner’s lack of internet knowledge just added to the charm as his sentences would end up abruptly or start in the next tweets. Reading his tweets out of context gives you another facet of entertainment. I’m a bit bummed out Steiner hasn’t found a way to cash into his online presence. Imagine a weekly shoot style interview, Big Bad Booty Daddy podcast or just “Life With Scotty In Six Tweets Or Less.” I want it all.

 Explain how Ethereum Classic is doing today.

As a spin-off of Ethereum, Ethereum Classic hopes the latch onto the founding principles of Ethereum and cryptocurrency in general. As a currency, Ethereum Classic does have a good grip on the market and is a very popular currency. At present, it is ranked 17th on CoinMarketCap.com. So how is Ethereum Classic doing today? Very well, obviously the markets in general have had a great morning, but Ethereum Classic is standing out with what seems to be, a cracking performance. At the time of writing, Ethereum Classic is valued at $17.77, up 5.11%. This comes off the back of a very confident performance throughout April. SInce the 6th of April, Ethereum Classic has gained almost $5.00, in that time it has seen very little in the way of troughs, generally, Ethereum Classic has seen a super positive trajectory. If this carries on, Ethereum Classic may very well reach $20.00. What would this mean? It means quite a lot actually. Let’s remember that Ethereum Classic had a very rare peak after the main rush of the cryptocurrency boom at the start of the year had ended. The boom did encourage Ethereum Classic to peak, but, it peaked again soon after, a rare occurrence given that post-boom, the majority of currencies continued to sink right through until the start of April. This second peak saw Ethereum Classic hit $43.00. A reach to $20.00 means that the currency is, pretty much, half way through it’s recovery. Ethereum Classic is starting to show very bold signs that it could be subject to another surge. $20.00 may seem a while off but, given the current trend, the market is likely to help Ethereum Classic over that mark. If it breaches the mark and stays above that mark, a full recovery up to $40.00 could be on the cards. Yes, it may be a while away, but the possibility is there.

 Who are some potential fantasy hockey pickups for my team?

If you’re looking to pick up a centre it probably means something has gone terribly wrong for you this year. Centre is the deepest position in the league and it’s likely there are teams with an excessive amount of centres that you can trade for. However, if you’re too cheap to address your needs through trade you can look to the waiver wire for the Leafs’ “number 1 centre”. Grabovski is currently riding a three game goal streak and has goals in six of his last seven games. He has 23 points on the season and is miraculously a plus player, even on the lowly Leafs.
The young Oiler was the buzz of the league with a fancy, yet completely pointless spin-o-rama during a shoot-out against the Lightning in his first game in the NHL. He has four points in four games, although three of those came in one game against the Blue Jackets. He scored 26 points in 26 games in the AHL and even scored 5 goals in one game… against the Toronto Marlies (making the big club proud). With Shawn Horcoff out for an extended period of time the talented Swede should get a good look on the top two scoring lines.
Earlier this year Pacioretty stated that he would rather play on a scoring line in the AHL than a checking line in the NHL. That caused every old-timer’s head to explode, except it shows that Pacioretty understands his talents and knows the role he’s best suited for. The Canadiens recently called him up to the NHL and are giving him every chance to play in a scoring role – currently using him on the second line with Gomez and Gionta. Before his call-up Pacioretty was leading the AHL in scoring with 17 goals and 15 assists in 27 games. He’s since added a goal and an assist in two games with the Habs.
The Anaheim D-man is second in rookie scoring by a defenceman with 17 points, although he’s not going to help you in the +/- department as he’s sporting a -6. Regardless, he’s averaging more ice time (22:16) than any other rookie and averages over 3 minutes a game on the power-play. He should be able to produce solidly from the backend for the rest of the season and will receive some consideration for rookie of the year.
Meszaros currently leads the league in +/- with an impressive +22, along with 13 points, accumulated all while playing on the third pairing of Philadelphia’s defence. With Chris Pronger’s injury, Meszaros has joined Matt Carle as the Flyers’ top-pair. He’ll receive more power-play time, although he’ll now be facing tougher competition meaning his +/- might take a hit.
If you don’t have a good goalie already you’re in trouble. Owners are generally unwilling to give up their goalies and if you are persistent enough to score one it’s likely you overpaid. Furthermore, most goaltending battles are decided by December and if they aren’t, you probably don’t want either combatant. With that in mind Jose Theodore looks poised to take over the starter’s job from Niklas Backstrom in Minnesota. The former Vezina winner has a .915 SV% along with a 2.71 GAA. Hopefully you aren’t picking up Theodore as a starter.
Uh, scratch that...it looks like Backstrom has a firm hold of the number 1 job. It was a good ride for Theodore while it lasted.

 What is the movie "Stranded" about?

Stranded is a 2001 English-language Spanish science fiction film about a fictional first manned mission to Mars. It stars Vincent Gallo and Maria de Medeiros, and was directed by Spanish filmmaker and actress María Lidón (credited in the English version of the movie as "Luna"), with screenplay by Spanish science fiction author Juan Miguel Aguilera. Lidón won the "Grand Prize of European Fantasy Film in Silver", and Gallo and de Medeiros were named best actors at the 2002 Fantafestival in Rome.
The film is set in 2020 and begins as the Ares spacecraft enters orbit around Mars. Andre Vishniac commands an international crew of seven astronauts. They try to land, but the small landing craft crashes as a result of an altimeter error. Vishniac is immediately killed, and five other crew members are stranded inside the toppled landing craft, unable to return to the waiting Ares mothercraft. With no spare landing craft, Lowell, the pilot of the Ares, returns to Earth with it.

 What can you tell me about NZXT's acquisition of Forge?

NZXT, Inc. announces the acquisition of Forge, Inc.
July 31, 2018, Los Angeles, CA – Today, NZXT, a leading developer of software-powered hardware solutions for PC gaming, announced the acquisition of San Francisco-based Forge, a pioneer in creating tools for capturing and sharing PC gameplay. Both companies were founded with the goal of developing the PC as the most immersive, most social gaming platform. Under the terms of the acquisition which closed on July 3, 2018, Forge’s staff is joining the NZXT team in a variety of engineering and management roles. Johnny Hou, NZXT’s founder, will continue in his current role as President and CEO. Jared Kim, founder of Forge, will assume the role of Vice President, Software at NZXT. Financial details of the deal are not available.
NZXT has long been a proponent of the “smart PC” – a hardware platform driven by integrated software that removes the friction from building, managing, and using a PC. Setting up a gaming PC for optimal performance—everything from cooling to overclocking—has long been done manually, with knowledge gained through experience or study (or both). With the advances in cloud computing and machine learning, so much of what has traditionally been either an acceptance of the default setup or a learning curve to climb can be fully automated.
Forge committed itself to building a better social experience for PC gaming by developing tools that let gamers seamlessly capture moments of their gameplay in short, looping videos for sharing, or even streaming their full session directly to Twitch or YouTube. Their veteran team has built game capture, streaming, and in-game overlay technology that is used by tens of millions of gamers worldwide.
Founded in 2004, NZXT is a leading PC developer building an ecosystem of smart products and services, each fueled by a passion for PC gaming. Their award-winning products include computer cases, PC cooling solutions, RGB lighting kits, and their free PC monitoring software CAM. NZXT loves gaming PCs and the people who build them and is dedicated to improving their products and services to make building extraordinary PCs achievable and fun for everyone.
