The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact. Mar. 1, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 3,001 |
By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

By Liz McMillan The IoT market is projected to be $1.9 trillion tidal wave that's bigger than the combined market for smartphones, tablets and PCs.

By Yeshim Deniz The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

Senate Republicans have successfully blocked a three-month expansion of troop leave, which the Democrats hoped would provide pressure to withdraw without cutting off funds. John McCain called the effort to give our fighting men and women 15 months off between combat deployments "dangerous."

It's been 15 months since Dan Rather's former host network forced him out of the top spot on the "CBS Evening News," and now he's giving his erstwhile employer a number of strong reasons why he thinks that was no way to treat an anchor—70 million reasons, to be precise.
U.S. Holocaust Memoral Museum via The New York Times
A newly released series of photos taken at Auschwitz and sent last year to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum shows Nazi officers and female SS members in a bafflingly banal (cf. Hannah Arendt) array of activities: singing, relaxing, laughing on group getaways, and even lighting Christmas trees.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice may be persona non grata at the Vatican. When Rice swung through Italy in August, she gave notice ahead of time about her hopes to meet with Pope Benedict XVI, but the pontiff's camp politely rebuffed her request, explaining that he was on holiday.
The State Department has restricted all U.S. diplomats to the Green Zone in Baghdad while it conducts a security review, presumably inspired by the suspension of its preferred mercenary bodyguards.
Roughly 600 Peruvian townspeople are suffering a variety of ailments, from headaches to vomiting, after visiting the crash site of a mysterious fireball that fell from the heavens. Scientists are en route to analyze the object, which they believe is simply a meteorite.
Rep. Henry Waxman has accused the State Department's top oversight official of looking out for the best interests of the Bush administration, and not the American taxpayer. A number of current and former subordinates of the State Department's inspector general contacted Waxman to report interference with investigations into fraud and corruption in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Challenging their culture's conservative gender laws, a group of Saudi Arabian women from the Committee of Demanders of Women's Right to Drive Cars is preparing to petition King Abdullah to allow women to, well, drive cars.
The Iraqi government is taking a close look at all private security firms still involved in the ongoing conflict there following Sunday's shootout in Baghdad, after which several contractors from Blackwater USA were accused of killing innocent bystanders while guarding U.S. officials.
Guess he wasn't in the "free speech zone": University of Florida student Andrew Meyer apparently went on too long while asking Sen. John Kerry about his 2004 presidential run (among other questions) and was Tasered and arrested on Monday. Did the police overreact? That's where Internet video comes in handy.

Tobacco industry boosted by American court victory
The family of the smoker, Jean Connor, had sued RJ Reynolds, alleging that it made a dangerous and defective product and that it had been negligent in giving sufficient warnings about the health risks of smoking.
The trial, which lasted five weeks, was being keenly watched by the industry and by Wall Street. There were fears that a verdict against RJ Reynolds would prompt another slide in the shares of tobacco companies, which are already contending with a constellation of legal and political challenges.
Instead, the decision by the jury will strengthen the industry's hand at a crucial time. Negotiations between the two leading cigarette makers, RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris, on a possible global settlement to end the anti-tobacco lawsuits resumed behind closed doors in Dallas yesterday.
Ms Connor died in October 1995. The jury had a chance to hear her directly, however, in a videotape made by her just before the death. The tape was partially played in the courtroom.
Ms Connor's estate had be seeking damages to compensate for her death and was also asking the jury to impose punitive damages on RJ Reynolds. The case was the first time in a Florida tobacco liability case that punitive damages had been requested.
But the tobacco companies still face multiple threats. A class action suit in Florida against the industry is due to go court in July.

This Exists: Female Bikini Rollerskate Boxing
Oh Brazil, you've really disappointed us this time. You managed to ruin two of my favorite sports—rollerskating and boxing—while being extremely sexist and degrading at the same time. In this vid, two scantily dressed women get in the ring and grind/hump each other while wearing rollerblades. Eventually, one falls down and the other one wins.

Rabbit hole of the economy
The warning signs were there all along, and we have tried to use this space to trumpet them.
The facts are simple: The economy grew by less than 3 percent in the past year. The Dow Jones industrial index rose by more than 26 percent in that period. That indicates a major disconnect between consumer confidence and investor expectations, between Main Street and Wall Street.
This makes financial markets nervous and volatile, as they are driven more by data these days than by actual events. Such conditions may be attractive to speculators, but they are difficult and worrisome for investors.
In decades past, central banks influenced economies by manipulating short-term interest rates. Consumers, banks, business owners and investors could adjust the allocation of funds according to their best judgment of the balance between risk and reward in free markets. Millions of people allocated capital according to their individual circumstances and perceptions.
Free enterprise flourished among waves of growth and self-correcting recessions. Painful at times, it nevertheless generated untold wealth and a vast increase in the general standard of living around the world.
One effect of World War I and the sequel was to increase the power, reach and intrusion of central governments. Slowly, covertly, central banks followed suit. Despite examples of the failure of centralized power in former communist states and dictatorships, free markets became influenced, and controlled, by the powers of central governments.
Increased power appeared, in many cases, to foster a higher degree of arrogance by central government officials.
Central bankers thus felt empowered to influence and increasingly manipulate the allocation and flow of capital. Today, a small committee at the Fed feels able to dictate not only the short-term price of money but the amount and allocation of capital in the economy of nearly $17 trillion.
The Fed has controlled the economy by manipulating the price of money and of assets.
In the early 2000s, the Fed engineered the largest asset boom in history. A retrenchment that threatened the credibility of the banking system, a crash and depression followed. That dragooned the public into financing a rescue and recovery.
Shocked, the public began to hoard cash on an unprecedented scale. Consumer demand plunged. As part of an attempt to force consumers to spend and investors to accept increased investment risks, the Fed pumped in trillions of synthetic dollars and engineered negative "real" yields on bank deposits and "secure" Treasury bonds.
This fear generated volatility as asset prices exploded while the economy, in reality, remained sick. Investors attracted by ever-rising financial prices, based on Fed injections of synthetic cash, sought gains while ignoring economic values that should have been a warning sign.
The result is reflected in recent volatility. Fed data and statements about what it will or won't do send the Dow Jones into a tizzy, rather than events in the real economy. This "Alice in Wonderland" environment cannot continue.

He hasn't done his barista training yet, but former All Black Leon MacDonald is passionate about coffee.
So much so that he and his wife, Hayley, have bought CPR, Marlborough's first coffee roasting business started by Blenheim couple Christina Mackay and Bill Musgrove in 2003.
The business began in a small warehouse and has grown to three outlets in Blenheim - the CPR headquarters in Wynen St, and at Marlborough Airport and Marlborough Stadium 2000. It also supplies coffee to six outlets throughout the South Island.
MacDonald will officially take ownership on November 30.
After selling his shares in the Grove Tavern, in Grove Rd, about five months ago, he had been looking for something else to get into, he said.
Someone mentioned talking to Bill and Christina, and everything fell into place, he said.
"It just sort of happened by chance."
The 12 CPR staff will remain and it will be business as usual, Mr MacDonald said.
A coffee enthusiast, he was keen to learn all aspects of the business, while his wife will focus on her new fashion store, No 4 Boutique, which opened on the ground floor of The Forum, in Market Place, last month.
"My social outlet when I was younger was to meet at the pub, but now we've got the kids, we meet at the coffee shop," he said.
CPR customers might even see him behind the counter - "from time to time, maybe".
The 34-year-old Tasman Makos assistant coach said last week he was not planning to have a go as the Crusaders backline coach, primarily because of his family.
He was "definitely tempted" but the timing was wrong and he was keeping the family based in Blenheim.
Mackay said they had not been looking for a buyer, but had always planned on selling one day.
"You're always planning an exit route with a business," she said. "It happened sooner than we thought but it's worked out really well."
They wouldn't go into detail over the sale but Musgrove said it had been important to them that another Marlborough couple took over.
"It happened really quickly but it's been a very low-stress process," he said.
They would not disclose the amount they sold the business for.

There might be a significant percentage of people that say an armed rebellion might be necessary, but when it comes to actually doing it, thats a different issue. Major armed rebellions in first world countries are very rare in this day and age. Even unarmed political rebellion such as occurred in Germany when the Nazis took power usually involve significant economic upheaval.

+ Pythons to rid Key of raccoons
Dear Editor:
Finally, I have a solution for the raccoon problem on Longboat Key —pythons! The Key should just import a few medium-sized pythons and the raccoons would be taken care of in short order. Rats probably would be eliminated, as well, as a bonus. The pythons presumably would cost nothing, or perhaps, be available for a small trucking charge, and when the raccoons are gone, there would be a huge recreational challenge for the residents and, perhaps, even a bounty paid for the largest python, or the one with the most raccoon bones in its tummy. Would this be fun or what?
Jane S. Oaks
Longboat Key
+ Boats are an eyesore
Dear Editor:
Is there any law prohibiting old boats from anchoring on Jewfish Key?
These boats have been anchored there for years without moving and are becoming a real eyesore. I can't believe the city is letting the north end of Longboat Key become a junkyard.
Let's not let this beautiful piece of real estate turn into a graveyard for old abandoned or forgotten boats. When a boat sinks at its mooring, who will be responsible for its removal? Do the boats have a current license on them? Do they have working anchor lights? These are all factors that need to be considered. There must be a law to keep these boats from collecting in this beautiful neighborhood.

Frequent Longboat Key visitor
+ Who are the 'rascals?'
Dear Editor:
Mr. Bob White and friends, whom I'm sure have the greatest of good intentions for our ENTIRE island community, have done more than ANYONE to ensure the further decline of Longboat Key as evidenced by the current redevelopment freeze. So just why should we to listen to them about who the "rascals" are? No thank you!

Something should be done about this removal of the ordinance not mandating the cutting and maintenance of the overgrowth Mrs. Bogof is right!!!!

Scott grew up on a quiet hundred acre farm in Maine. His connection to nature has been lifelong. He attended high school at St. Paul's School in Concord NH. Scott did his undergraduate work in global systems theory at several schools and his graduate work in integral philosophy at California Institute of Integral Studies. After a successful start in residential real estate, Scott shifted to the internet. A founder of multiple angel-funded startups, Scott's work in high tech has been built around themes of neighborhood, social capital, innovation, and sustainability. He is currently an MBA Candidate in Sustainable Business at the Presidio School of Management. Scott lives with his family
of five on a budding urban farm in Berkeley. His wife Sasha is a Professor at the California College of the Arts in textiles with a specialty in natural dyes, and runs the non-profit Permacouture Institute. Scott's three kids are Finnegan age 12, Bergamot age 3, and Beckett 1. Scott is an avid backyard gardener who keeps chickens, cultivates bees, and brews his own beer. In his free time he is working on a young adult fiction novel.
Scott has completed online and offline ID verification.
Scott was very helpful and quick to respond. The farm was fun and we would love to come back and see it in full action during warmer months. The studio was comfortable and a pleasant place to stay. Great location.
We enjoyed the atmosphere and felt comfortable with the neighbors and with Scott and his family.
I can highly recommend Scott as a host. The whole process was very easy. Scott responded to any questions or queries I had and ensured I was happy throughout the stay. The accommodation was exactly as advertised. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The location is great (500m to the Ashby BART). Walking distance to two large supermarkets. The restaurants in the area were great (I enjoyed the BBQ places the most). There was a vibrant farmers market on the weekend (about 15min walk from the apartment). The walk into downtown was easy - this provided access to a huge amount of restaurant options and University Travelling into San Fran was fast, cheap, and very easy on the BART.
Urban and farm says it all. It's super fun if you love bees and chickens and plants, bunnies and dogs AND you want to be close to public transport, cafés, Berkeley Bowl. It is not for the faint of heart, as there is a certain level of grit. BUT: if you have an open mind, an open heart and can function without frills, you can make yourself cozy here. We stayed with 1 adult and 2 small kids and maxed out the studio's capacity.
Scott was a good host, he welcomed us to make sure we had everything we needed. The beds and bedding were very comfortable and the kitchen is large. The three bed rooms were perfect for two couples and one child. The home is located a shot walk from a BART station, one stop from downtown. Restaurants, coffee shops and grocery stores are within walking distance. The pictures of the home are a true representation of what we found.
The reservation was canceled 18 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
The reservation was canceled 20 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Thanks so much for a rad and welcoming spot! We had a group of 6 friends in town for a wedding and stayed at the farm for 2 nights. Scott smoothly coordinated with us on our somewhat confusing travel schedule. The house was extremely pleasant, it was great waking up to the sounds of chickens cooing below. The neighborhood had plenty of coffee/food options and was convenient to our travel needs. The residents below were friendly and mellow. Thanks for making your spot available!!
Scott and the apt were terrific. He made the entire experience as simple and easy as possible. Quiet, comfortable and centrally located in the East Bay. Would definitely stay again.
My family and I came in town for a wedding and thought staying together would be more fun (and afordable) than all getting our own hotel rooms (there were 5 adults, 2 teens, and 2 young children). This house accomodated us all and was overall a very fun experience. ...A few things to note - as exciting as the "farm" experience was (and it truly was, especially for the young kids), it's good to know that the ground outside is covered with dead bees - which means no barefeet (it also turned out that there were 2 bees inside and my mom stepped on one). And since the space is all on the second floor and the windows didn't have screens, we just had to make sure our small kids understood that they could not play near the windows. If you have impulsive kids - maybe make sure the windows are closed and don't show them how easy it is to open. Also, when dusk fell we looked for the light switches and had a hard time finding them in two of the rooms. Scott (who happened to be staying in a room that connected to the house) heard us stuggling to figure it out, and came over and helped us. Lastly, I thought it would be worth mentioning that we also had planned to cook some dinner in the oven, then found out it was not in working order. Pizza delivery it is! I would mention that although I've noted a few inconveniences, my family as well as myself truly enjoyed our time and would stay again. It really is a fun, comfortable home that we all enjoyed. Other positives to note - We had three cars between us, and we were all able to find close street parking. The rooms felt clean and welcoming. We felt like we all had our own space and even with our large number we felt like we all had moments to ourselves. The kids loved visiting the chickens - they even got to help feed them! (Check the bottom of your shoes for chicken poop!) :) ....the neighbors who live below were very friendly and we all spent time in the backyard talking and playing ping pong (if you're lucky they'll play banjo for you too!). Once again, overall everything was fine and worked out (even sharing the one bathroom! - we did just fine)...I would recommend and stay again, if Scott would have us. :)
Life on a farm has its unexpected encounters with nature at times, it is true, and I'm glad Kazia was conscientious enough to note that it is currently the season when the bee population drops and they can be found more plentifully on the ground in the garden. The windows do have dowels for placing in the tracks to keep them closed and safe for children wherever needed, which has worked just fine for our two young children, ages 2 and 4. I only wish Kazia had taken me up on my offer to use our other modern oven in my apartment upstairs, as our classic 40s Gaffers and Sattler oven does indeed go on the fritz some time!
Scott and his family were really great. He was friendly, a good communicator and very respectful of the space. He even fixed a little house glitch on his own! I hope to have them again.
Scott and his lovely family are fantastic guests. We barley noticed them. Their dog is friendly and very mellow. Anybody who can host Scott is lucky.

Artisan: Sundrop Jewelry
"As finding alternative energy sources becomes more urgent we seek to demonstrate the potential of harnessing the energy pouring onto the earth each day in sunlight."
Utilizing a unique glass working technique invented by artist Bretwood Higman (as a teenager in Alaska experimenting with a giant magnifying glass on the beach!), glass is melted in the intense heat at the focal point of a giant lens. Gravity and surface tension pull the glass into a lobe that cools as it falls, stretching into the distinctive "sundrop" shape.
With a strong commitment to the environment, single color drops are made with glass strips recycled from bottles or art-glass scrap, while multi-color drops are made with scrap glass kiln melted into a single, twisted spiral. The actual jewelry making process uses only the amazing potential of solar energy with a lens that can focus the sun into a point so intense it can melt not only glass but metal and even rock at an amazing 3000^ F.
Sundrop Jewelry is created by several different artists, capturing the sunlight that falls in their own backyards.

I needed a recipe for a spring potluck at work. I also wanted to take a cake for a birthday. Imagine my delight when I found that this cook had recipes for both. Her recipe for the lemon curd is the best ever. For my presentation at the potluck, I roasted the asparagus; arranged it in a serving dish; topped it with sliced of hard boiled eggs; then spooned on the lemon curd. It was a hit.

too sweet, maybe less lemon curd would do

This is a delicious and easy dish. The combination of ginger and garlic nicely compliment the lightly sweet lemon sauce. A definate keeper.

Hot answers tagged character-development
I don't think your protagonist has to be ordinary to be relatable.
While I haven't read the series, isn't the point of The Diary of a
Wimpy Kid that the protagonist isn't the "healthy good guy hero"
Writer Graham Moore just won an Oscar for his screenplay adapting
The Imitation Game, a biography of codebreaker Alan Turing, and said that Turing was ...
Not all ESL speakers will sound the same, for the simple reason that they all had a first language.
If you want to add realism, you need to determine what language they natively speak. Your native language shapes your ideas of tense, sentence structure, and what phonemes you're used to considering as actual word-sounds and not mere noise.
Some oriental ...
Smart, clever, insightful, thoughtful, reserved, and mysterious are all abstract qualities. They are summaries. And the summaries lack all of the juicy details that lead people to attribute those qualities.
Instead of describing such abstract characteristics, demonstrate them. Show the character doing clever things, or mysterious things. Let the reader ...
Look at different psychological theories of personality types.
From the beginnings of time, scholars have attempted to categorize human character (as well as body type, race, and so on). Most such theories have been shown to bear no relation to reality, but for character building they are as good or better as the morality based D&D system.
The ...
Typically, Chinese ESL speakers routinely make mistakes with definite and indefinite articles. They leave them out, use them when not needed, or mix the two. They also mess up indefinite plurals and pronouns, and verb tenses. All of this is due to structural differences between Mandarin and English. So, this answer might sound like:
The Chinese ESL ...
It gives the most room to expand.
As the story progresses, we observe the change of the protagonist, be it growth in strength or fall to corruption, or getting tangled with powers, or struggling to retain virtues against onslaught of temptations. By starting with someone "generic" you give yourself the most room to expand, to make the change more drastic ...
I think you've gotten some bad advice. Lead characters do not need to be "ordinary", they need to be realistic. You could easily write a book from Luna Lovegood's point of view, provided you could make her actions relatable, which is to say, logical and reasonable. That's not the same as "ordinary", that just means we can understand why she's doing things. ...
One thing typical for all languages would be the speaker using the wrong word when they translate to the same word in their native language. For example, my native language has the same word for both 'roof' and 'ceiling' and I used to have trouble picking the correct one in English.
Another one would be having slightly awkward phrasing: not the perfect ...
If characters never do bad things, you don't have a plot, and if every bad action is followed by a speech about how bad it is, you end up with a didactic polemic, not a novel.
It's possible to frame even the worst actors within a larger moral framework --consider Nabakov's Lolita where the main character in a first person narrative is an unrepentant ...
Give the characters something unique: It doesn't have to be something mind-blowing or some kind of superpower. It could be something as simple as a toe fetish or not being able to remember dates.
Give them an unexpected behavior: The wife of one of them left him and he reacted by ... cleaning the house from morning to night?! What?
Give them an ...
You can always have a character who doesn't develop; flat Disney villains come to mind. But the flat character is generally in opposition to the hero/ine, who does develop.
So the question is, why would you write such a story? What could possibly happen in it? If you have one character, period, and that character doesn't develop, what is that person doing? ...
I don't think any character is ever too complicated. Some may be alienating to more "mainstream" readers, but that only means you shift your target audience to more ambitious readers.
Then, of course, everything happens for some reason. The character being that way is a result of a certain backstory. That backstory must exist, and be consistent.
Now, ...
You can certainly write a successful story or novel with a non-traditional POV --I'm thinking of Room, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time --it will just be a different kind of narrative. The main thing is that a neutral POV acts like a window onto the wider world of your story --which you can then populate with many strange and ...
There are two things that advanced non-native speakers do: they have to paraphrase vocabulary that they lack (e.g. "electrical bus" for trolley bus), and they make typical grammar errors, which will depend on their native language (e.g. a lack of articles if the native language does not have them).
The internet is full of non-natives (like myself) writing ...
There's a book called "Learner English" that discusses common issues of transference between various languages and English. It's an excellent read in addition to possibly being useful for your assignment. You might also consider taking a linguistics class, because it's difficult to manipulate the mistakes that an ELL might make if you don't actually ...
"Glennkill" is written from a sheep's point of view. Which is one of its main points of attraction. I remember a story from the perspective of a cup (Böll maybe?). "The Remarkable Rocket" from Wilde's "The Happy Prince and Other Stories" has fireworks as protagonists. Of course, the Happy Prince himself is a statue.
Many fairy tales have things as ...
Relateable Characters
My favorite childhood character growing up was Bilbo Baggins. He was a single-living half-sized creature with a magical ring who was cowardly but clever, and had a great reluctance to try to go on any sort of adventure.
I'm nothing like Bilbo Baggins, yet I can relate to dreams of adventure and wanting to be a quick-witted hero.
I like her better in your version. It's more interesting that she sees the entire world in terms of furniture.
If you make her aggressive sexually, than aggressive sexuality—regardless of kink—becomes the major feature of her character and that's pretty boring, even if the kink is pretty bizarre.
There are lots of stories out there with kinky dominatrices ...
If "the humble, virtuous identity is not less or more authentic than the grandiose, power-grabbing one that replaces it," then both those (apparently contradictory) sets of characteristics exist in the same person.
You have to figure out how that's possible. Her backstory is critical to that. Did she grow up as the child of a monastery's charwoman? Was the ...
Reality is complicated. Usually, in the case of domestic violence, many factors lead to it. For example, both partners have specific fears, both show certain behavior, and all this slowly builds up to the moment when one partner hits the other.
Literature is not law. In law, one party needs to be found guilty. In literature, you can show the complexity of ...
There are two approaches that are historically used in your situation, and some more modern ones that some people are trying.
The first thing often done is to only have evil characters misbehave. This makes things simple especially when paired with everyone gets what is coming to them (consequences). These two techniques make for a simple tool to show good ...
You might benefit from some ideas:
1. Avoid the info dump (a long description scene)
2. Add your description in showing/active sentences
3. Use character contrasting (contrast one character to another)

If you want your character to be:

In the Unites States it is implausible that a 14 year old legally lives on her own within society.
Here are some expert opinions for Georgia, but it is unlikely that the situation will be different in other states: http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/can-a-mature-14-year-old-live-alone-with-parental--1275608.html (I searched for "14 year old living alone" in ...
The key thing is not that they are everyman, it's that people can relate to them. If it's Dr Who or Gandalf, no - they're totally other. But if it's someone like Einstein or Alan Turing, it can work if they're also going through normal human life struggles that your audience can relate to.
The difference with using a non-traditional narrator, is that now ...
The TV show "Seinfeld" is an example of a show where the characters didn't develop. They never learn anything about themselves and this was a source of humor in the show. Or at least it must have been for the people who liked it (and there was a lot of them), personally I never really got into it.
I think also some of Samuel Beckett's work would have one or ...
Is it possible? Probably. It may depend on the definition of "character development". I was just looking for a definition and didn't find one in 30 seconds, but it's normally understood to mean (a) revealing the nature of a character to the reader, and/or (b) a character growing and changing over the course of the story.
By definition (a), if you write, ...
To a large extent, whether a character is plausible or implausible depends on how well you justify it in the story. I've often read stories where I find myself saying, "Oh come on! Why would he do that?!"
It occurs to me that the more common problem in fiction is that characters are too simple rather than too complicated. I've read lots of stories where I ...
When a character commits an evil act and you want to frame it as evil, there are different ways to acknowledge it.
Describe it from the perspective of the victim. When the reader is confronted with the emotional results from the evil act, they will sympathize.
Have the perpetrator condemn the act themselves and have them feel remorse.
When that would be ...
I've had quarrels with some of my friends where they say that some book or movie is bad because it depicts people doing evil things. And I say, But look HOW it depicts them! It clearly depicts them as evil and destructive! There is a huge difference between a story in which a character does evil and it is portrayed as perfectly all right and having no ...
The best advice I can give you is to find actual ESL speakers and listen to them. If you can find an ESL class in your area, talk to the teacher. Ask permission from teacher and students to audit and/or record the class, so you can hear what word choices are being made.

Co-owner of bitcoin-linked sites settles SEC case
Separately, the SEC issued an "investor alert" last month warning of the potential risks of investing in bitcoin and other virtual currencies. Investments involving bitcoin may have an increased risk of fraud, and the people behind fraudulent schemes may lure investors by touting bitcoin investment "opportunities" promising unrealistically high returns, the SEC said.
The agency said consumers should be wary of potential warning signs, such as guaranteed high returns, unsolicited offers and pressure to buy immediately.
