\n\nA poetic rendering of the short lif e of Hawai&lsquo\;i&rsquo\;s half-Hawaiian\, half-Scottish princess.
\nWithin the short life of Princess Ka&lsquo\;iulani is contained the sad \, shameful story of the downfall of the Hawaiian Kingdom. She was sent to Europe to receive an education befitting her royalty\, but during her abs ence the monarchy was abrogated and she returned to Hawai&lsquo\;i a figur ehead rather than a queen. Ka&lsquo\;iulani is a histori cal-musical-psychological drama complete with a Greek/Hawaiian chorus and a Hawaiian chanter. The play\, which portrays the princess during three di fferent phases of her life\, originally premiered at Kumu Kahua Theatre in 1987.
\n\nThe bells of the city pealed a joyous welcome to the new heir to the Hawaiian throne.

What is the future of bookstores?
There was some good news in bookstoreland this week as beloved San Francisco science fiction and fantasy bookstore Borderlands announced that they would be able to stay open at least another year thanks to a successful (and unique) crowdfunding and sponsorship campaign. They had previously planned to close in part due to rising minimum wages in San Francisco.
Is this a harbinger of things to come for bookstores?
I've previously predicted that local, independent bookstores would hang on longer than chains, much as indie record stores have persisted even as Virgin, Borders and Tower megastores bit the dust in the music world.
But it seems like even just relying on book sales may not be enough as e-books continue their inexorable march.
What do you think? Can bookstores hang on, and is crowdfunding the answer? Or will bookstores be saved by another force? Or will they eventually be consigned to the past?

Are "brows" disappearing?
I make no secret of my love for the TV spectacle otherwise known as "The Bachelor." We have had some incredible journeys together. And yes, I'm in it for the right reasons.
What I love about "The Bachelor" is that it manages to transcend its utterly insane premise (man/woman searches for love by dating 25 people simultaneously, publicly breaks up with each one at a "rose ceremony") with a mix of sincerity, self-awareness and psychological spectacle.
"The Bachelor" is widely regarded as the ultimate of lowbrow culture, and yet there's this strange fact: it's the most widely watched show among 18-49 year olds who make more than $150,000 a year.
As Fifty Shades of Grey dominates the box office and critics largely dispense with trashing it in favor of a spirit of, "Whatever, it does what it's supposed to do well," I'm wondering if we're entering a time when there's no such thing as highbrow or middlebrow or lowbrow.
Is this the era of the unibrow?
I'm not the first to wonder this, a few months back the Bookends column at the New York Times debated just this topic (as well as revealing the etymology of "highbrow," which got its start in the eugenic-leaning "science" of phrenology. Yikes!)
Thomas Mallon argues that culture has benefited from the collision of art at all levels, noting for instance, "does anyone believe that the American short story has improved by making its initial appearance in literary quarterlies never seen by any brows but the highest?"
Pankaj Mishra argues that the profit motive has leveled out the brows, forcing auteurs to be crowd-pleasers, and obliterating individuality.
Personally, I think the explosion of voices in the world brought to us by the infinite choice of the Internet means that anyone hoping to be heard must also, by necessity, entertain. Even those aspiring to be highbrow and express complexity of thought and emotion must also bow to the reality that they need to capture eyeballs.
Think of John Oliver, wrapping serious advocacy journalism in comedy, or the recent trend of literary genre fiction like Station Eleven.
What do you make of this? Are we worse off because it's hard to imagine a Proust, or even a David Foster Wallace, gaining cultural ground in 2015? Or is a muddling of brows a sign that culture is democratizing?

New email subscriptions! And more!
After many many lost years not really tending to my blog's e-mail subscriptions, I have finally made the jump to Mailkimp... er... MailChimp, so those of you who subscribe via email should be receiving an email that looks rather better and hopefully does not end up in your spam filters.
If you don't yet subscribe via e-mail and are interested in getting this here blog right in your inbox whenever I post, kindly sign up here.
I also fixed the Facebook sharing, so if you so desire to share any of these posts with your Facebook Friends, you should now be able to choose the art in the past as the thumbnail so it looks prettier.
Lastly, I gave the Forums a long-overdue spam cleanup, so it should once again be safe for your discussions and query critiques.
Basically, I was an Internet Carpenter this weekend.
I'd love to hear your feedback! Anything else you'd like to see that will help you read the blog? (Besides, you know, me actually writing posts).

4 tips for handling multiple perspectives in a third person narrative
One of the biggest challenges with third person narratives is how to balance multiple perspectives.
This isn't always something beginning writers give much thought. Third person is third person, right? Can't you just jump from one character to another as you need to? Aren't all-seeing perspectives essentially the same?
Head jumping can be really confusing for a reader. It can be wildly disorienting to see three, four, five characters' inner thoughts in succession. You stop feeling anchored in a scene and instead feel like you're swimming through a thought explosion.
There are two main ways to solve this: sticking to third person limited (anchored to one character's perspective) or third person omniscient (Gods-eye). But most novels deviate slightly from these strict categories and cheat from time to time.
Rather than telling you "rules" about omniscient vs. limited vs. hybrid, here are some directional tips that will hopefully help you keep the reader feeling anchored in a scene:
1) Consider separating a shift in perspective with chapter or scene breaks
This is the most straightforward approach to multiple perspectives in a third person limited narrative. Pick a character and stick with their perspective through a cohesive chapter or scene. This is how George R.R. Martin handles the Song of Fire and Ice books (aka Game of Thrones). The novels are anchored by several key characters per novel, and we see what is happening through their eyes.
2) If you're going to break perspective within a scene, think of it as keeping a "camera" in place
Occasionally you might want to remove the narrating character and show something that is happening out of their view, whether in order to show the reader something the main character can't see or because it just makes sense for them to bounce for a second.
If you're going to do this, I compare this to keeping a "camera" in place in the scene. Remove the main character, but keep the narrative going with the other characters who remain. Don't suddenly shift deeply into someone else's thoughts and feelings, but it's okay to linger a bit and show something the anchoring character shouldn't be able to see.
When/if the character returns, you can slide back into showing their thoughts.
3) If you're using a more omniscient third person perspective, imagine the narrator as a fully-fledged character
Third person omniscient allows more head-jumping and more flexibility in showing various thoughts and motivations. But it's tricky to keep things consistent and avoid disorientation.
Rather than thinking of the narrative jumping from one character to the next, imagine that there is an unseen narrator who is observing the action.
This does two crucial things. One, it smooths things out for the reader, because rather than taking into account multiple perspectives and biases, you're seeing things essentially from one point of view. The other is that it stops you from diving so deeply into one character that it's jarring to shift to another character's thoughts.
This omniscient narrator doesn't have to actually be a real, named character, but it's helpful to think of them this way so you tell the narrative through a consistent perspective.
4) The more the perspective is limited, the deeper the inner thoughts. The more omniscient the perspective, the shallower the thoughts
This isn't a hard and fast rule, but generally, if you have tied the perspective very closely to one character you can go as deep as you want into what they're thinking. It won't be jarring for the reader to see inner monologues, straightforward thoughts, etc.
If you have a more omniscient perspective that includes multiple characters, you may want to stick more to observing outside, physical actions and general, apparent emotions rather than diving too deeply into what multiple characters are thinking. This way we're seeing what's happening on the outside rather than having to wonder how it is that we're jumping around to what everyone is thinking.
Have you tried balancing multiple perspectives in a novel? How did you handle it?

When the Internet attacks
New York Times magazine has a fascinating article about people whose lives have been destroyed by ill-considered moments on the Internet and the virtual lynch mobs that descended upon them (something I've posted about in the past).
I find this phenomenon pretty terrifying, especially as someone who has blogged for eight years, written over a thousand posts, and said various things over the years that have either been stupid or completely misperceived or both.
Whatever you make of whether the people in the article "deserved" what they had coming to them, I have a hard time seeing how Internet vigilante justice is something that is any way beneficial.
What do you think? Do you trust that the punishment fits the crime? And once a virtual mob starts, how can you stop it?

Can we talk about "Serial?"
Like many people across America, I was totally captivated by the podcast "Serial," which, if you haven't yet been accosted by a raving fan, is about a 1999 murder and hinges on whether you believe one of the two former teenagers at the heart of the case: Adnan, in prison for the murder of his ex-girlfriend, and Jay, whose (frequently changing) testimony put Adnan there.
One of the most compelling elements of the show is the extent to which its host, "This American Life" vet Sarah Koenig, very transparently wears her biases on her sleeve. She doesn't believe, or doesn't want to believe, that Adnan did it. He's charming, she likes him, and she doesn't seem to be able to fully bring herself to think he committed the crime. But she's up front about those feelings, and her journey in the show is a huge part of what makes it so compelling.
It's been fascinating to discuss this show with friends and coworkers, because to a large degree it's almost a Rorschach Test for the way you view crime, criminals, heck, even life and the truth. You learn a lot about people just by hearing their opinions and what they experienced in the past that contributes to their views.
For instance, I'm heavily influenced by a murder that took place in my hometown, where I knew both the murderers and the victim, and it doesn't surprise me at all, as it seems to surprise Koenig, that it's possible someone could be both charming and a murderer. I also to this day remember so many details of finding out about that murder in my hometown, which happened more than fifteen years ago, that I find it hard to believe that Adnan wouldn't be able to remember what happened on the day the police asked him about his missing ex-girlfriend. It wasn't just some random day.
Many people have written of the biases of the show, but one element of bias that I haven't seen fully addressed is the bias of the good story.
It's not a great story if we found out the guy who is behind bars for committing a crime is the one who committed the crime. If Koenig had discovered conclusive proof around Episode 2 that Adnan committed the crime, there wouldn't have really been a show, and certainly not the most popular podcast of all time. Sure, Koenig likes Adnan and that may have influenced her, but to me what really seemed to drive her was a sense on her part, even a hope, that there was more to the story. Consciously or unconsciously, in the absence of proving Adnan's innocence outright, she had every incentive to leave as many threads dangling as possible.
So while Koenig dove deep into possibly exculpatory inconsistencies in Jay's various testimonies (which, to be fair, were wildly inconsistent) and into things like whether there really was a pay phone at a Best Buy, other things that in Koenig's parlance were "bad for Adnan," like the letter from Hae that told him to back off and which had the words "I will kill" scrawled on it, and the "Mr. B." who pled the fifth at the grand jury, received scant attention. When she did dive deep into "bad for Adnan" threads they felt oddly tangential to the heart of the story, like whether Adnan absconded with mosque funds.
The facts as they have been presented certainly cast doubt on whether Adnan was fairly convicted, and if anything is gained from the popularity of the show, I hope a sober reexamination will take place. But I also lack confidence that the "bad for Adnan" threads were pursued, or treated, with equal vigor.
That's partly why I was equal parts compelled and unnerved when listening to "Serial," and extremely uncomfortable when reading Jay's recent interviews with The Intercept and wondering what Hae's family must think. These are real lives being disrupted and very painful memories being resurrected for a murky purpose. Is this entertainment? Journalism? An uncomfortable mixture?
And sure, let's get this mandatory part out of the way. Based on everything I have heard, I lean toward thinking Adnan committed the crime though am doubtful I would have voted to convict if I were on the jury. But it makes me uncomfortable to even type those words. Who am I to even have an opinion about all of this?
Have you listened to the show? What do you think?

Description The invention relates to a device for measuring local absorption differences in a body, comprising a radiation source for generating a beam which irradiates the body, a scanning device, and a detector device for detecting emerging radiation. A device of this kind is known, for example, from British Patent Specification No. 1,283,415. In a device described therein, a body, notably a part of the human body, is irradiated for medical examination by means of a radiation beam which scans the body. The intensity of the beam transmitted by the body is then measured and recorded in a series of different radiation directions. On the basis of these measuring data, the absorption of sub-elements of the body to be examined is determined by means of a calculating device. On the basis of these absorption data, any anomalies in the body are detected, localized and usually also qualified and quantisized. Known devices have a drawback in that a comparatively high dose of radiation must be applied for complete examination. The invention has for its object to mitigate this drawback, without adversely affecting the accuracy or the sensitivity of the device. To this end, a device of the kind set forth according to the invention is characterized in that the detector device has coupled to it a control device for keeping, by means of the detector signal, the intensity of the emerging beam at least substantially constant during the entire scanning operation by adaptation of the locally incident dose. Because the intensity of the emerging beam is constant within very narrow limits in a device according to the invention, optimum detection can be readily realized over the entire field to be scanned by optimum adaptation of the detector device to this intensity. The low dynamics of the detector device enable adjustment to a high sensitivity, without overdriving being liable to occur. When the quantity of radiation incident per unit of surface area is adapted to an emergent intensity which is favourable for the detection but minimum, overdosing with respect to the intensity desired for the measuring accuracy will not occur. As a result, the total quantity of radiation required for complete scanning is substantially reduced in comparison with known devices. Conversely, for the same total incident dose, an image of better quality can be realized on account of the locally constant value of the emergent intensity. Moreover, in a device according to the invention facilities for shielding direct radiation, i.e., radiation incident adjacent the body to be examined, can be dispensed with. In a preferred embodiment of the device in accordance with the invention, the intensity of the incident beam is locally shaped for keeping the emergent intensity constant. In a further preferred embodiment, the scanning speed of the incident beam is adapted for this purpose. In a further preferred embodiment yet, utilizing a pulsating radiation source, the repetition frequency or the pulse-width of the incident beam is adapted for this purpose. Some preferred embodiments of the device in accordance with the invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the drawing. The FIGURE is a diagrammatic view of a preferred embodiment in accordance with the invention. The FIGURE shows a radiation source 1 with a diaphragm 2 and a detector 3 with a diaphragm 4 of a preferred embodiment of the device in accordance with the invention. The radiation source in this case consists of an X-ray tube comprising an anode 5 and a filament cathode 6. The source can alternatively comprise a natural radiator, for example, a gamma radiator, an electron radiator or a neutron radiator. The detector is adapted to the nature of the radiation to be used, and for electromagnetic radiation, such as X-radiation and gamma radiation, it comprises, for example, a scintillation crystal with a photomultiplier or a semiconductor detection element adapted to the said radiation, while for particle radiation it comprises a semiconductor detector adapted thereto. An object 8 to be examined can be positioned between the radiation source and the detector which are rigidly connected to each other by means of a bracket 7 in the embodiment shown. The radiation source and the detector, driven together by a drive 9, can be moved with respect to the object to be examined, for example, as indicated by the arrows 10 for translation and the arrows 11 for rotation about the object 8. An output of the detector 3 is connected to an amplifier device 12, for example, an operational amplifier wherein a reference signal can be adjusted via a connection 13. The output of the amplifier is connected, via a control device 14 comprising, for example, a servomechanism, to a supply source 15 for the X-ray tube. During operation a reference signal is adjusted and during the entire exposure this reference signal is compared in the amplifier with the signal to be supplied by the detector. In the case of a fixed intensity of a radiation beam to be emitted by the radiation source, the detection signal will be varied only on account of a difference in absorption in the column of the body instantaneously present between the diaphragm 2 of the source and the diaphragm 4 of the detector. This difference in absorption is determined by the dimension of the object in the relevant column as well as by local differences in the absorption coefficient within the object. A difference between the detection signal and the reference signal controls, via the control device 14, the supply source 15 for the X-ray tube. Variations in the detection signal caused by variations in the beam intensity of the radiation source can be compensated for, for example, by arranging a detector in a portion of the radiation beam which is not incident on the object. The reference signal can be related to a signal derived from this detector. The supply source 15 controls, for example, the filament current for the cathode of the X-ray tube such that the radiation intensity emerging from the object is substantially constant. The control signal can also be used for controlling the high voltage of the X-ray tube, so that a variation in the radiation beam occurs. The drawback that besides the intensity also the wavelength distribution of the X-radiation generated is then also varied, can be eliminated by using filter. In a preferred embodiment, each time when the dose measured behind the object becomes equal to a dose given by the reference, for example, the high voltage of an X-ray tube as radiation source is switched off. It is thus achieved that the output signal behind the object is always constant, while the absorption variation in the object results in a variation in the pulse-width of the control signal. A deviation of the pulse-width variation of the control signal which is caused by fluctuations in the high voltage can be eliminated by means of a control circuit. In this control circuit the incident dose is measured, the emergent dose being kept constant, or rather the incident dose is derived from a measurement of the radiation delivered by the source which is not effectively used. The non-used dose is large with respect to the effectively used part of the radiation in the relevant devices, so that it is a suitable measure therefor in all practical circumstances. For measuring this dose, for example, a ring detector 20 (dosimeter) can be arranged on the source side of a diaphragm which limits the beam. It can be deduced from calculations that, if the incident dose is large with respect to the reference signal and hence with respect to the difference between the reference dose and the output dose, the absorption in the object is dependent only of the ratio between the incident dose, which is this always accurately measured, and a dose which is given by the reference signal and which is exactly adjusted. Fluctuations in the radiation output of the source do not have an adverse effect on the measuring accuracy, i.e., the pulse-width ratios of the control signal to be used for furthe processing. Using the control signal, the electron beam which releases the X-rays in the X-ray tube can also be deflected or defocussed such that a variation in the intensity of the emitted X-ray beam occurs at least in the part thereof which is to be effectively used. When a comparatively narrow beam is used, the inhomogeneity in the intensit;y distribution across the beam section is negligibly small. For the defocussing or deflection of the electron beam an additional electrode or electrode system can be arranged in the X-ray tube, in this case preferably a grid-controlled tube. Discrepancies in the measurement by means of the said second detector for the unimpeded beam can be readily corrected by way of a calibration measurement. The latter method has the advantage over the previously described methods that substantially no delay occurs in the control. When the X-ray beam is adapted by filament current variation and high voltage variation, such a delay can definitely occur. For the proper operation of the device in accordance with the invention, however, this is not objectionable. Fast, comparatively small variations will then occur in the output signal, but these variations will not have a significant effect on the radiation dose. From these fast variations a correction signal can be derived whereby the control signal can be corrected such that for the further processing of this signal (for the absorption determinations) this disturbance is compensated for. The control signal is a measure for the absorption occurring and is applied to a register 16 for recording and further processing. Using an arithmetic device 17, the absorption of sub-elements of the body to be examined is calculated therefrom in known manner. The results of the calculation can be displayed on a monitor 18. The density distribution of a section of the body is preferably displayed on the monitor in a mosaic pattern. The mosaic pattern is then formed, for example, by squares having small edges (with respect to the body to be examined) of, for example, 3 millimeters, the section thickness being, for example, 8 millimeters. A coupling 19 between the scanning mechanism and the recording device determines the position within the body of the section of the body to be displayed. In a further preferred embodiment of the device in accordance with the invention, the scanning speed of the device is controlled by means of the control signal. A constant output intensity can thus also be realized. The intensity of the incident beam is then constant across the entire field to be scanned, but by variation of the duration of the scanning of a sub-traject the applied dose is still varied. Thus, a saving is again realized as regards total dose and time required. The drawback of a possible delay in the control can be eliminated in the same manner as described already for fast variations. This method is particularly suitable for use in devices wherein a source which is difficult to control, for example, a radioactive specimen, is used. In a device utilizing a pulsating source, the control signal can be used for influencing the frequency of the pulses or the pulse-width. A device of this kind is particularly attractive for the examination of periodically moving parts of the body, such as the heart. When the scanning pattern and the pulse action of the source are adapted to each other, the movement of the pulsating part of the body can be eliminated, so that scanning in synchronism with the heart beat is realized. In this preferred embodiment it is advantageous to use the simultaneous scanning device described in the said British Patent Specification No. 1,283,415, that is to say the device wherein use is made of a diverging beam which simultaneously irradiates a section of the body, a scanning motion being preformed only for a change over to a subsequent section.
