The Duschau Trilogy, discusses her books, her journey as a writer, and self-publishing on Kindle.
DAVID WISEHART: What can you tell us about The Dushau Trilogy?
JACQUELINE LICHTENBERG: The first book in The Dushau Trilogy won the first Romantic Times Award for Science Fiction. The review magazine renamed itself recently to RT Reviews as it now covers much more than romance. But at that time, it specialized and my agent was totally astounded that Dushau could even be read by that audience, nevermind win such a prestigious award (presented in the Twin Towers in New York City at a formal banquet, and I do mean formal.)
I mean, romance readers don't read science fiction—or so the Manhattan publishers thought. Boy, have THEY learned a lesson!
There's a long story behind The Dushau Trilogy.
The Dushau Trilogy originated during a visit to Andre Norton's home (she was a very famous writer of juvenile SF who moved on to adult SF/F, notably the fantasy universe titled The Witch World).
I had gone to Florida as a guest at a local convention, and Andre Norton invited me and my sometime writing collaborator, Jean Lorrah, to visit her home there.
While leaving, as I was about to get into the passenger side of the car while Andre Norton stood on her porch waving goodbye (Jean was driving), I called back, "Well, if you won't write a sequel to Star Rangers, I will!"
To my utter shock, she said, "Good, do that!" in a tone that said she really meant it.
The image is flashburned into my mind, the large green expanse of Florida lawn, the porch, Andre Norton with her hand raised to wave, the sky, the trees—I barely remember the car though, just the image of that porch with one of my childhood icons of fame, glory, talent and sheer artistic brilliance standing there calling to me as if I were her equal.
Star Rangers was one of my all-time favorite novels when I was a child, more than any other book Andre Norton wrote.
At the airport, I bought a notepad and on the plane on the way home, I sketched an outline—well, several—for what that sequel would be. What did I really want in a sequel to a book I'd read 16 times in a row and then kept re-reading in parts for years and years?
I realized I couldn't do it in Andre Norton's universe. The flavor of satisfaction I wanted to create needed a different universe.
The flavor I needed to add was a dimension disallowed in the decade when Star Rangers was published and even in the decade when I would write it.
Star Rangers was actually aimed at adolescent boys whereas I wanted to aim at adult women.
Now, at the convention I attended during that trip, some fans of my own novels dragged me into a darkened hotel room where they had rigged the room's TV to a daisy chain of video recorders. They had hours and hours of tapes of Doctor Who TV shows, mostly with Tom Baker as The Doctor.
The tape they had was made in the format used in England, and they had a tech genius who was able to connect the player that could play those tapes to recorders that could copy the feed into our format. Several fans wanted copies—however degraded, and tape doesn't copy without degrading as digital does. So there was all this equipment laid out on the floor, and then a whole lot of hotel room chairs collected from other rooms, all full of people, and the double beds were also full of people, and people standing in every square foot of space.
It was stuffy and dark, and cheerful, and eager.
As my friends brought me in, they told people that I had no idea what Doctor Who was, had never seen it (it was really hard to come by in the USA at that time). When they said my name, suddenly there was a front-center comfortable chair vacated for me, a cup of soda, a bowl of munchies, and a whole lot of people telling me all about the Doctor universe background.
Then they cued up an episode—I don't recall which—and I spent the entire rest of that day in that dark room enthralled.
I came out a fan, just as my fans had predicted—later went to a Doctor Who convention just to meet Tom Baker, gave him a copy of Duschau, and had my picture taken with him. I still own a Tardis Key I got at that convention.
What happened on the airplane trip home was what today is called a "mashup"—a blending of two fictional universes into something new, in this case Doctor Who and Star Rangers.
What I added to that mix was the then-heretical, absolutely unpublishable, way beyond the pale, totally Star Trek fan fiction tone, dimension and element of the human-alien romance.
But I gave it my own twist, making the human-alien romance itself a current manifestation of a karmic backstory thousands of years deep. I just didn't let the characters themselves, or the reader, in on that secret.
My agent, to my absolute shock, dismay and astonishment sold the novel Dushau on chapter and very brief outline, and even worse, it was to be my first three-book contract with a very, very close due date—and I hadn't written the first draft of the first novel yet.
But I made every deadline, and hit the exact word-count.
DAVID WISEHART: How do you do your world-building?
JACQUELINE LICHTENBERG: I have a huge variety of methods for world-building, and use whichever method is appropriate for the material at hand.
I write incessantly and persistently about these various techniques and how to teach them to yourself and how to master each one on two blogs.
One is http://www.aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com/ which is a co-blog of widely published science fiction and fantasy Romance writers. I post there on Tuesdays, writing not just for writers or would-be writers but also for readers who want to understand what writers do and what readers can get out of reading by understanding the writer's process.
The other is where I put more technical writing lessons of interest more specifically only to writers is http://www.editingcircle.blogspot.com/ where I'm the only one who posts unless I have a guest.
No two writers go about writing, or worldbuilding, in the same way, and any given writer probably doesn't use the same method or procedure every time. But the end result has to be the same for a novel to be publishable.
A story won't be comprehensible unless the background, the world surrounding the characters, is as much a part of the character as our own real world is a part of us.
The world surrounding the character shapes and sets the agenda for the character, but the character's view of that world, the character's interpretation of the world is the main key to the character's motivation.
The character's motivation is the key to drawing a reader into a story, and the world surrounding the character will deliver the resolution that satisfies the reader.
It's all connected. And when the reader can discern the nature of the connections in the fictional environment, the reader can come out of the experience feeling happier and more secure in their own personal environment.
The writer is an artist who can show a reader how the reader's own selective view of reality actually shapes the reader's internal experience of life. Armed with that understanding, a reader can change their life.
Good fiction empowers readers to live with zest and joy.
The signature of good fiction is the connection between the character's internal life and external objective reality that the character must contend with. Patterns, connections, views that make sense of life, ignite readers' real-world enjoyment of life.
So that's the objective of good worldbuilding—to create "show don't tell" connections between the character and his/her world.
DAVID WISEHART: How do you develop and differentiate your characters?
JACQUELINE LICHTENBERG: Every character came from somewhere, through events that influence and shape their view of their world. What the character knows, doesn't know, can or can't feel for whatever reason, wants, needs, and will or won't give, all these generally distinguish people from one another.
But what every reader wants to know first and foremost is what this character's problem is RIGHT NOW. And what's he/she going to do about it, then comes why, and what happens next, and what that means.
The writer has to know much more about the character, and especially about the character's past than the reader ever needs to know or wants to know.
So it isn't so much how you differentiate your character that matters to the reader. As long as that character's responses to situations are consistent, those responses will delineate an individual in the reader's mind.
Each character in a story has a past that the writer knows, a past different from the past of the other characters, a past that the reader isn't interested in and doesn't need to know.
So each character will respond characteristically to challenges, each in their own individual and distinctive way—consistently.
The big lesson in writing is "show don't tell"—and it applies to differentiating characters as well.
SHOW the reader the distinctive ways each character responds to situations, developments, challenges, and DO NOT TELL the reader all about the character's past that causes the character to respond in these ways.
And the reader will invent their own past for that character, and thus engage deeply with the story, and "walk a mile in that character's moccasins."
I learned this technique from Leonard Nimoy while we were interviewing the cast and crew of Star Trek for the non-fiction book Star Trek Lives! by Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Sondra Marshak and Joan Winston. Leonard is a very good teacher and his lessons stick as hard as the lessons that Gene Roddenberry taught me during those same interviews.
Leonard Nimoy calls this not-telling characterization technique "open texture." That's a stagecraft term that applies more and more these days to text based fiction. Learn it. It's what made the Spock character leap off the screen and into the hearts of non-science fiction readers. It's the source of all the Star Trek fan fiction.
And it's the source of the fan-fiction that readers of my Sime~Gen Universe novels (now in new paper editions with ebook, Kindle, Nook, etc. editions) have written. You can find that fan fiction posted online for free reading at http://www.simegen.com.
DAVID WISEHART: Who do you imagine is your ideal reader?
JACQUELINE LICHTENBERG: I don't have to imagine because I have interacted with fans of my novels over the years until I have a good grasp of "who" they are.
They mostly have nothing in common, just like the fans of Star Trek have nothing much in common. I discovered that by circulating questionnaires while researching for Star Trek Lives! I was looking for a common denomenator to explain why fans love Star Trek—there isn't one.
So you could say I write novels for the Star Trek viewer who likes to read narrative fiction.
But I also tend to aim more at readers who prefer to look at life as requiring more raw heroism on the field of relationships than it ever can on the field of battle. The effort to be emotionally honest, honorable and trustworthy in intimate situations (intimacy includes a lot more than just physical sexuality; it requires redefining the notion "privacy") is what my typical reader admires the most.
Physical courage is cheap and plentiful among humans. Emotional courage is costly and rare. I write about people who reach deep inside themselves to find that endless well of emotional courage and thus overcome vast physical obstacles. My typical reader can easily relate to a person like that, even if that person is not human.
DAVID WISEHART: What was your journey as a writer?
JACQUELINE LICHTENBERG: I decided to make my living as a professional writer when I was a sophomore in High School. One day, walking to chemistry class, I was thinking about Andre Norton's Star Rangers novel, and about "Doc" Smith (Edward E. Smith Ph.D—author of the Lensman series), and I stepped across a crack in the walkway and said to myself, "Now I'm a professional writer."
Long before that, when I was in seventh grade, my father had bought the family a typewriter and taught me to touch type. As practice to build speed, I copy typed A. E. Van Vogt's Slan, and (you guessed it) Andre Norton's Star Rangers, and a couple of other novels. I learned style and internalized many non-verbal lessons on writing craft from that, so by the time I took the leap of faith and declared myself a professional I knew what I was doing, and I knew I could do it.
That afternoon I went to the library and checked out as many books and magazines on writing craft as they'd let me have—and kept going back for more until I'd read everything.
My Aunt Millie found out what I was doing and for my birthday she sent me a year's subscription to Writer Magazine. I began writing every day, seriously, not just in my head as always.
I read almost all the biographies in my (small) library, especially of writers. I researched it very thoroughly, and decided that to be a SCIENCE FICTION WRITER I needed to major in chemistry. I didn't know at the time that Andre Norton had been a librarian (another profession that attracted me) or that her specialty was anthropology and archeology.
But most of the writers I really REALLY admired (E. E. Smith, Hal Clement for example) were chemists. A lot of the people I knew in my area were or had been chemists. So I majored in chemistry with minors in physics and math, and took as much linguistics, anthropology, archeology, etc. as I could stuff into my schedule.
Chemistry and physics are things you can't learn without the laboratory resources of a university, I figured. But history, literature, languages, anthropology, archeology—that stuff you can learn on your own without paying the enormous university fees.
Also chemistry is a bread and butter profession. Science fiction writers rarely made their entire living at writing (still don't).
It was karma. Working in chemistry, I met my husband, married him, had two kids, and settled into a writing career using every single bit of my university education plus a whole lot more.
DAVID WISEHART: What is your writing process?
JACQUELINE LICHTENBERG: How I go about writing depends on what I'm writing—not to mention everything going on in the family.
I prefer long periods of silence, solitude, and concentration—weeks on end. Then a scheduled break for running around to appointments, errands, conventions, taking care of everything—then back to writing.
I usually work on only one project at a time—but not always.
See, writing is a creative endeavor, so you have to create it as you go along.
The real secret to understanding what you're doing when you're writing is to comprehend something I learned in 8th Grade.
In 7th Grade, when my dad taught me to type, I went from hand-writing letters to typing, and became a very active member of science fiction fandom (an organization of organizations called the National Fantasy Fan Federation (N3F)—a group founded by the same man who founded the Science fiction Writers of America). The N3F led me into an association of friends very much like today's facebook or twitter—lots of communicating.
In the N3F, there was a bureau for would-be writers run by a professional writer named Alma Hill. She taught me the most important lesson about what writing really is, and I've never seen anyone else teaching this.
When you sit down to turn out text, you are PERFORMING—at concert pitch, as if on stage before an audience.
To be able to deliver, as I did The Dushau Trilogy, on demand, whether the family is falling on your head and the rent is due, or even if you have a fever, or are coughing your head off—you have to have been practicing-practicing-practicing.
And with all that practice, you "become a writer"—a performer who knows THE SHOW MUST GO ON—and nevermind how you feel or that the upstairs neighbor is teaching squaredancing to 20 teenagers.
The practiced skills and techniques come to the fore, and the performance goes smoothly, you make your deadlines and the result is professional (i.e. worth the money people pay to get it).
Writing isn't about turning out this particular story—it's about turning out a story on demand right now and at a certain level of quality.
Writing Is A Performing Art—and that is the process. PERFORM.
DAVID WISEHART: What authors most inspire you?
JACQUELINE LICHTENBERG: For the ability to perform and perform—no matter what, or where or when—Marion Zimmer Bradley was the one who set the standard for me. Pages per day no matter what (she taught me by trading "dailies" with me).
Today I admire people like Jim Butcher who writes The Dresden Files (and many other fantasies). He built his series up to becoming a TV Series, and to do that and keep meeting deadlines, he toured the country speaking and signing books and writing on a laptop in hotel rooms everywhere. I know this because, as a reviewer, I was invited to interview him by his publicist.
I also know the same thing about Gene Roddenberry because, while interviewing him, I ended up carrying his brief case around guarding it for a day because it had work on a new series (after Trek) in it.
The couple times I've tried working on the road, it hasn't worked.
But I usually come home fired up and inspired.
DAVID WISEHART: What one book, written by someone else, do you wish you'd written yourself?
JACQUELINE LICHTENBERG: Sword of Aldones by Marion Zimmer Bradley. That's another like Star Rangers that I read and read and read.
Marion was very disappointed in it as the years went by (the original idea for Sword of Aldones dated from her teens) and she became a better writer, and eventually she re-imagined this portion of Darkover's history and titled that story Sharra's Exile while she was writing Heritage of Hastur (you will find my name in that book because she used it to teach me writing craft.)
Frankly, and to her disappointment, I still prefered Sword of Aldones.
In disscussing that problem, she taught me a valuable lesson which she had learned from her teachers. The story the writer writes is not the story the reader reads.
MORE IMPORTANTLY: it shouldn't be!!!!
Your job as a performing artist is to entertain the reader, to ignite the reader's imagination not force the reader to see YOUR STORY.
It's the reader's own story that's important to the reader, not yours.
The story I SEE when I read Sword of Aldones is not at all what Marion intended to put into the book when she first wrote it, and not at all what she saw on rereading what she'd written decades later.
And in that, it's just like Andre Norton's refusal to write "the sequel" to Star Rangers—which was a book that, for her, had no sequel, but to me was merely the prolog to the real story.
So for that reason, I had to create a whole new universe to contain the sequel I wanted to write, and it became the science fiction romance, Dushau—when there was no such thing as science fiction romance.
But for me, the sequel to Star Rangers just had to be a romance.
DAVID WISEHART: How have you marketed and promoted your work?
JACQUELINE LICHTENBERG: I don't market or promote—frankly, I don't know how. As Dr. McCoy might have said, "I'm a writer not a publisher."
I do however make myself available online as much as possible, I network on twitter, facebook, MySpace, Scribd.com, gosh there's a lot and you'll find links to blogs and social networks in my friendfeed box on http://jacquelinelichtenberg.com where I list off currently available work.
I have concluded that social networking is not a promotional or marketing tool and I think I've figured out the reason for that.
Here's the blog where I discuss it at considerable length.
I'm a member of Backlist eBooks (http://backlistebooks.com) which is an organization of widely published writers who have retrieved the rights to their books and set them up as ebooks themselves, without going back through the publishing system. This is a big, and I think important, trend.
I've been a member of EPIC http://www.epicauthors.com/—the organization of professional ebook writers and publishers, since my first ebooks came out from Wildside Press—Molt Brother and City of a Million Legends—which were originally mass market paperbacks from a couple of publishers.
And of course I've been a member of the Science Fiction Writers of America since I qualified with the sale of my first story (a Sime~Gen story which was bought by Fred Pohl for If Magazine of Science Fiction). I'm now a Life Member of SFWA.
So being in touch with other writers, I hear about opportunities to reach readers, and I take on as many of those as I can.
I'm also a professional reviewer for a paper magazine, The Monthly Aspectarian, and meet a lot of writers that way.
In the course of all this, I am often sent Advance Reading Copies (ARCs) soliciting cover quotes—and sometimes my reviews are quoted.
I go to conventions and attend chats on twitter and join groups and goodreads and everywhere—because I like people, I like talking to people, I like especially talking to people who've read the books I've read or seen the TV shows or movies I've seen. I'm interested in what grabs a person's attention, whether it currently grabs mine or not.
Look, I "found" Doctor Who because fans of my books dragged me into it.
The result of finding Doctor Who is a novel which won an award and actually became a game-changer event in science fiction and romance—if not credited as such by publishing, I know it because I know readers influenced by it who became professional writers and now write this new cross-genre mashup I love to read.
Ultimately, that's how you find everything good in life—someone you know who knows you likes it and wants to share it with you because they like you, and then shares it with others who you then get to like too.
It's not about marketing and promotion, it's about love of LIFE.
DAVID WISEHART: You've had a successful career in traditional publishing. Why self-publish your backlist on Kindle?
JACQUELINE LICHTENBERG: When Kindle first offered writers an easy way to post their novels as Kindle books, I wasn't convinced.
But I watched the entire field of the ebook publishing (I've been a denizen of fictionwise.com almost since they started it) and I know that's where it's at.
I have been an Amazon customer since they started selling books.
I've given up looking for books in stores. I just get them on Amazon. I don't buy at conventions as I used to—why haul stuff home in suitcases when you can just get it on Amazon.
Amazon has developed the knack of pointing readers to OTHER BOOKS they want because they read this or that.
Nobody else is quite as good, though B&N is coming along.
So, a few years ago, Wildside Press (which had the reprint of Molt Brother and City of a Million Legends up on fictionwise and Amazon because the guy who owns Wildside likes my stuff) bought Borgo Press and made a deal with Amazon to supply reprints for Kindle.
The guy in charge of the Borgo program happened to be a fan of my work and a friend of Jean Lorrah. He came up to us at a convention, made an appointment to take us to lunch, and cut a deal for the Sime~Gen novels (12 of those) plus collections of our short stories—(2 collections of mine released so far).
And then things happened (complicated contract stuff), and we didn't proceed with the deal right away for a variety of reasons.
But I was still studying the development of the Kindle program, and in my judgement that's where it's at in publishing.
I wanted to see how it was done, and what would happen, and how hard it is, and what's involved, and so on.
That is, when you come to the Continental Divide, you toss some straw in to see which way the water's flowing—one side it goes one way, the other side it goes the other, and you understand something about the continent you wouldn't if you hadn't tossed some straw.
So I tossed some straw into Kindle—five novels, the three Dushau, and an omnibus of the two military science fiction novels I had retrieved rights on from Ace's mass market editions, Hero and Border Dispute.
Finally, the Borgo Press folks got back to us, and started cutting contracts and producing books.
Now I'm very glad to have the five books up on Kindle myself—but I'm also very glad NOT to be doing this for another 14 books (plus more I have in the pipeline).
Membership in Backlist eBooks has let me see what other writers doing this are going through, what hassles they have, what it takes to make it through Smashwords and into all kinds of formats and outlets. A writer doing their own backlist may make more per sale, but they earn it.
It's a lot of work—and trust me, publishers earn their cut, and as far as a reader is concerned, it's worth it to pay attention to the publisher's logo.
DAVID WISEHART: What advice would you give to a first-time author thinking of self-publishing on Kindle?
JACQUELINE LICHTENBERG: I think a writer with a hefty backlist needs to take a portion of those books to Kindle themselves. I think you need the experience, you need to understand it, to know what the publisher's various functions are, and what they're worth (in terms of their cut). You need to learn about yourself, just how much tech can you handle, how much promotion, how does this cut into your writing productivity—or for some people, doing this themselves actually spurs productivity!
You need to do it to find out about yourself in this new world.
Having done it, I am now completely certain we made the right decision for the set of Sime~Gen novels, and this experience will affect future decisions.
DAVID WISEHART: Thanks, and best of luck with your books.

The seventh of an eight-day series of blessings inspired by Br. David's book "99 Blessings: An Invitation to Life." Welcome to our practice. Let's begin. We invite you to close your eyes and take one or two slow, deep breaths. Then open your eyes and simply take in this blessing...
you bless us with dragonflies —
their very name evoking happy
summer days, water and reeds, the
heat of high noon, deep-blue skies,
and a stillness so vast that I can
hear the glassy clinking of their
wings as they flit by. They have
been celebrating life like this for a
hundred million years. May I watch
with respect these old-timers,
learning from them as I stretch
lazily on the sun-warm deck.
Sense how it feels to honor the ancient, delicate and playful dance of dragonflies. When we allow ourselves to shimmer, celebrate and play, we cultivate resilience and joy.
"May this patchwork quilt of blessings help to sharpen your taste for the gift of life in its innumerable facets," Br. David writes. "May you grow ever more blessed, ever more able to bless."
Should you be inspired, please leave a reflection below…
Please log in or Create a Profile to post a comment.
As a child grow up in the village – going through the seasons of planting & harvesting rice field..near the river… I have been always delighted to see the droganflies fly freely.. I Never knew what it meant but there was this feeling of joy, light spirit as I get close to them.
Wow! How facinating to learn they have lived millions of years.. how could it be? Amazing ! Nature never fail to enchant me with its tiny beautiful creatures… How grateful I am to be part of this web of life. Thank you…
Stopping to appreciate and learn about the many beautiful creatures on earth lifts my heart. Also the many myths and symbolic meanings that man's creative mind has dreamt is also fascinating.
I love thinking of dragonflies as old timers, since I am near enough to that category myself. A hundred million years … wow! These winged ones have been part of my life since summer childhood trips to various cottages and water sources. Yesterday, near my walking pond, there they were again! Grateful for this lifelong seasonal companionship.

On the mezzanine level of the Mondrian, Morimoto wows us as we glide past its hall of bubbling, rose-gold mirrors into the main restaurant. We stare in awe at the centrepiece of ornate lanterns resembling something from ancient Japan or a temple in Nara, glimmering from the glow of the bronze and green walls.
Morimoto's Momosan brunch is an interesting mix of subtlety and style. Its waiters are lively and alert but never obtrusive. The décor is soft and light and the music from the in-house DJ is a smooth blend of chilled electronica.
The brunch buffet selection is smaller than you might expect, but that's because entrées are ordered from a menu and served directly to the table. To whet our appetites, we tuck into a light and fragrant smoked duck salad and some delicious, ever-so-slightly creamy yakisoba noodles. All your usual sushi and sashimi favourites are present. We absolutely adore the sweet and sour chicken. Morimoto's take on this classic takeaway staple is refreshingly tangy and isn't drowned in sauce. What's also wonderful is the set-up. Everything is so colourful, bright and beautiful, adorned with flowers and other decorative elements.
Post-buffet/pre-entrée teriyaki skewers arrive at our table. A wonderful medley of chicken, lamb and tofu skewers drizzled in a teriyaki sauce is full of rich, hearty and smoky flavours, served steaming on a miniature grill. There's corn on the cob, and rather unexpectedly, it's quite tasty.
We are already quite stuffed at this point but the items on the mains menu are far too irresistible. Our first dish is the delightfully named angry chicken. The plating, with the baby red, yellow and green peppers, resembles a paint palette. The chicken has a slight kick from its garam masala spice blend, and although it's an interesting flavour combination, it's not as fiery as the name suggests, which might be a good thing for those who can't stand too much heat.
The aroma from the second main takes us way back to summer barbecues outdoors. This wagyu burger steak is the pinnacle of carnivorous dining. Served on pillows of napa cabbage, it is sensational. The meat is cooked to absolute perfection and while it might be a complete cliché to say this – it really did melt in the mouth. Rarely in Doha have we sampled a dish that brings so much unbridled joy. The fact that dish will eventually finish is slightly painful.
And just when we think nothing can top this, the dessert arrives. The show-stopping selection is an extravagantly presented assortment straight out of the Mad Hatter's afternoon tea party. Bunny-eared leaves encircle a selection of sweet treats and our waitress pours hot water into a bowl of dry ice. The ensuing smoke enhances the already magical, mystical feel of our final course. Surprisingly, the light, green tea mochi is placed alongside a white chocolate and raspberry mousse with a selection of home-made sorbets and fresh fruit. We almost forget the intricately hand crafted petit fours to end our meal.
Morimoto's Saturday feast is a welcome new addition to Doha's brunch scene and a real joy for those looking to end the weekend on a high note. It does lack activities for children, but there are kid-friendly options on the menu.
It's high-quality food in a luxurious setting and what's probably going to give more bang for your buck is the bragging rights you'll earn from this brilliant Japanese Saturday brunch.
QR350 (soft drinks), QR495 (house beverages). Sat 12.30pm-3.30pm. Mondrian Doha (4045 5999).

Momosan Brunch at Morimoto
A Japanese brunch that wows us with its food and ambience
On the mezzanine level of the Mondrian, Morimoto wows us as we glide past its hall of bubbling, rose-gold mirrors into the main restaurant. We stare in awe at the centrepiece of ornate lanterns resembling something from ancient Japan or a temple in Nara, glimmering from the glow of the bronze and green walls.

Germany has so many beer flavors to choose from. This is the DOM KOLSCH, which you can find here in Koln, no problem. Especially while watching the Spain vs Russia football (aka soccer) game like we did this past week. A little on the sweet side, so not dry. There is a bit of an after taste to this one. Enjoyable beer.

Aqua was designed by Charlan Brock & Associates, an award–winning architecture and planning firm located in Maitland, Florida. The developer's request for a superior beachside resort like no other was a tall order, but the visionaries at Charlan Brock & Associates accomplished this and more at Aqua. The result is dramatic but welcoming architecture that commands your attention and invites you in to enjoy its warm presentation of colors, textures and water themes. It's truly a wonderland for the senses and an exciting beachfront destination of elegant, relaxed living.

"The variety of floor–plan designs, along with the unique architectural features throughout the property, definitely deliver a stunning presentation of resort living."

Editor's Note – This is the second of a series of articles on paint care myths. Jason Mathews has been burning up the highway for 20 years as our National Events Manager. He has more one-on-one face time with our customers than anyone else in the company. He's dispelling misconceptions… this time, all microfiber is NOT created equal.
People just don't grasp that low-quality microfiber will scratch their paint. We had a car in the auto display about four years ago. And this owner did not want us to wipe it down… flat out refused… said he would come in and wipe it down a couple times a week and the car was here for the whole month. We offered to give him products to do it with he said I've been doing it this way for 30 years, and the car looked horrible, had swirl marks everywhere. His secret?… Windex and paper towels. That was his tried and true system. That's what he lived by. Car looked awful.
At a recent event, The Friends of Steve McQueen show in Chino Hills, California, I was treated to one of my favorite "learning moments"… people wiping down their paint with those yellow microfiber cloths. They are from Sam's Club, Costco, or some high volume seller and everybody is loving them. They say, "Man, these are cheap. I get a pack of 100 of them, use them once, and throw them away." They think they're doing themselves a benefit by only using it once because they are not getting any dust or dirt on the cloths that can be reintroduced to the paint. And they don't have to wash it. What they don't realize is that the very fibers themselves are a low-grade microfiber that is aggressive enough to absolutely scratch and swirl their paint over time. So they get these blemishes and can't figure out how to get rid of them once and for all.
The lesson is if you care about your paint you need to stick with high quality microfiber cloths and towels. We use the finest fiber and its softness is superior and a must-have quality if it's to be used in the automotive care realm. It has to do with how many times the fiber is split. Microfiber is basically a polyester blend thread that is split or exploded to create that soft nap. Further, the weaves we use make the most of the nap.
The cheap microfiber is cheaper because it requires fewer production steps. Also, the stitched borders on cheaper microfiber can wreak havoc on paint. To terminate the weaving, the fiber ends in low-quality microfiber are burned off which results in a hard scratch point in the corner of the cloth. You can feel it in many of these lower quality towels. If you get that trapped under your hand when you start wiping down your car, you start making good, tough scratches that are hard to get out.
So at the McQueen event I see a guy wiping down a beautiful Volkswagen with one of these dreaded yellow microfibers. He came up and asked if I had any quick shine that I can use to get a little more pop out of his paint. So I offered him some of our Best of Show® Detailer and decided to grab a PFM™ towel out of a display. I gave it to him and asked him to do me a favor and try it.
I explained the differences in microfiber quality, how our PFM is so absorbent you pretty much have a one-pass wipe to get the product off your paint, and sent him on his way. The less you have to sit there and rub, and he was working the VW pretty hard, the less chance you have of inducing swirls into the paint. He would wipe the yellow towel four or five times compared to one pass with the PFM. I watched him after he made that one pass with the PFM and he stopped in his tracks and just looked at the towel in his hands in disbelief, probably wondering if this is snake oil. Then I watched him do it again… he had to prove to himself it was for real. He did it a couple times, then threw the yellow cloth on the ground and went around the car with the PFM.
That right there is the level of guerilla education that we do with consumers. Really get them to believe you because often times just telling them isn't enough. They have to actually see it, use it first hand, before the message hits home.

The Art of Riding the Tiger
Nowhere else is Switzerland growing and changing as rapidly as in the agglomerations on the outskirts of the large cities. Whether in the Arc Lémanique, the Limmattal, the axis Zug–Lucerne or along the Birs near Basel: suburbs that were once largely rural or industrial in character are increasingly acquiring an urban profile. The main motor of this development has been the transformation of former industrial, warehouse and railway sites into quarters with an urban density and mix of functions. But now a change of paradigms in the field of planning is emerging: instead of round-ing off sites, the focus is now on the far more complex adaptation of the existing fabric, on increasing the density of existing quarters, developing centres and residential areas — places where a number of different interests and property boundaries meet. Under the spatial planning dictate of inward settlement development, planning today is always focussed on those places where something already exists. This requires planning that is better coordinated and the population must be allowed to have its say; the result is that planning becomes more complex than before. In the process one thing becomes clear: it is public space that deter-mines the quality of the development — and not individual building projects.
Since 2006 attractive subsidies from the Federal agglomeration programs have contributed to ensuring that the real estate boom in the agglomerations is directed along well-ordered paths, to strengthening non-motorised and public transport, and to securing open spaces. For today such subsidies insist on a joint approach to the planning of traffic roads and settlement areas. Above all they have created a previously unimaginable willingness to cooperate, plan and solve problems in a way that extends across community — and even canton — boundaries: in the west of Wil as well as in the west of Zurich or the west of Lausanne. By themselves individual communities are unable to deal with traffic problems or with opening up the recreation space that is so urgently needed in densely planned areas. Consequently, the edges and boundaries that were previously neglected are becoming a central focus of interest. Where the aim is to create living space of real quality it is not only political boundaries that are under discussion, but — as suggested by several authors in this issue — increasingly plot and property boundaries, too. — Daniel Kurz, Roland Züger

Following the finalisation of all necessary procedures to ratify the Withdrawal Agreement, the United Kingdom (UK) is leaving the European Union (EU) on 31 January 2020 at midnight (Luxembourg time). On 1 February 2020 a transition period begins, which will last at least until 31 December 2020.
The transition period can be extended once by up to one to two years, following a decision taken jointly by the EU and the UK before 1 July 2020.
Until the end of the transition period, nothing will change for citizens and businesses, neither in the EU nor in the UK. The Withdrawal Agreement (1) safeguards the right to stay and continue their current activities for EU citizens in the UK, and UK citizens in EU countries; (2) guarantees the continuation of economic and trade exchanges as before. The UK will no longer be represented in EU institutions and bodies, but EU law will continue to be applicable to and in the UK until the end of the transition period.
The EU and the UK will now negotiate their future relations. This future framework, whose provisions are yet unknown, will apply to citizens and businesses after the transition period.
This website contains more detailed information on the rights of citizens after the UK's withdrawal. This information will be completed in the upcoming weeks.
The purpose of this FAQ is to present to you the effects of a "Brexit - Deal" on Luxembourgish and British citizens.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — As a mom, ShaRae Hicks knows she has a lot of options for her kids' education. She looks to Sarah Carpenter's Memphis Lift organization for guidance.
"Parents need to know the choices and options they have when it comes to education for their own children," Carpenter said.
Just this year, the state legislature passed the "Tennessee High-Quality Charter Schools Act," allowing charter networks to get student information from local districts.
The information includes names, addresses, birth dates and even height and weight. The only way for parents to keep it from the charter networks is to opt-out using an online form by Sunday.
Rep. Antonio Parkinson said he fought against the bill because the requirement is unfair to districts like Shelby County who get funding per student.
"They're trying to give them an advantage or opportunity to siphon off students from Shelby County Schools," Parkinson said in August.
But Hicks said she was fine with passing along her kids' information and decided not to fill out the opt-out form.
"I didn't make the choice to opt out because I wanted to see all the choices and opportunities that I have," she said.
"The district has great schools, some not so great schools. Charter schools have great schools and not so great.
We want to be able to decide for ourselves where we want our kids to go," Carpenter said.
"Stop treating our kids like they're a piece of property. It's about money I feel like."

Though, when you have more than 220 pounds on the scooter, which is the recommended maximum weight for the scooter, it may slow down a bit. At a weight of about 28 pounds, it is a scooter system that can easily be carried with one hand and taken with you on a bus or in a car.
The tires on this unit have a solid design that is great for any type of terrain; in fact, they are made from 100 percent rubber so they do not need to be inflated and they will not go flat when you ride the scooter.

On the handlebars, you will notice a little black button on the right that accelerates the scooter. There is also a small red button that will power on your lights.

If you are looking for a heavy duty scooter, then this is one of the best scooters that you will find available for purchase.

Both the front and the back wheels have shock absorbers that are designed to help handle the bumps. The rear ones are actually placed at a 45-degree angle, which can greatly improve the riding experience.

Razor is known for their scooters, and this one is a great electric scooter to choose, especially if you are looking for a scooter that has a lot of brightly-colored accents along the frame. This is an option that is designed to travel at a speed of up to 10 miles per hour. It is not the fastest option that we have looked at in this guide, but it is much faster than walking. At that speed, you will be able to ride the scooter for a period of about 80 minutes before it needs to be recharged.
The scooter supports 120 pounds with ease, but that makes it an option that is only viable for smaller adults to use.

- This is one of the cheaper electric scooters on the market.
- It is very simple to assemble.
What We Didn't Like

It is designed with extra large pneumatic wheels that are 10 inches in width, which will make it easier to handle bumps along your route.

The seat on this model can also be removed to make it easy to quickly take a ride to the corner store whenever you need.

It is designed with a strong motor that allows it to travel at speeds of 15 miles per hour, and the battery will last for a full 16 miles in most situations. It handles very well on streets and sidewalks, but it does not have shock absorbers that would have made it good for off-road rides.

In addition, there is also a luggage rack on the back of the scooter that can be removed when you don't need it.

You'll also notice that the wheels on this product are also fairly large; this will allow you to go over even the roughest terrain without wiping out.
Also, with the torque level of the motor, you won't slow down noticeably when going uphill or over rougher terrains. To start the scooter, you simply utilize a kick-start mechanism, and you're underway.

- By: Razor Electric Scooter for Adults
One of the best features of this Razor is its resemblance to the classic Vespa. If you're looking for this unique design and want to purchase a scooter that can get you around with ease, then this might be a good option.

For example, it has a 15 miles per hour maximum speed, so traveling a few miles won't take very long at all. Additionally, it has a storage compartment, so if you're looking to bring small items like smartphones or bags with you, you shouldn't have much of an issue. Finally, this scooter comes in multiple colors, so you'll be able to indulge your sense of style.
What We Liked
- The product has a 10-mile range on a single charge.
- It looks like a Vespa, which is already a great commuter's vehicle.
- The acceleration has a variable speed feature, so you can opt to go slow or put the pedal to the metal.
What We Didn't Like
- It doesn't pack a lot of oomph.
- You won't be able to ride this in most off-road settings.
Is it Recommended?
If you're a fan of the Italian icon, then this could be a good option for your daily commute. That being said, if you're in a hilly area, this scooter doesn't have a lot of power, and you'll drain the battery. On the other hand, this is a good option for more metropolitan areas.

KHARTOUM, — The deputy chief of Sudan's ruling military council said Thursday the military has identified the perpetrators of the violent dispersal of a pro-democracy sit-in earlier this month, but said he won't reveal their identities because of an ongoing investigation.
Sudan's security forces violently swept away a camp of demonstrators in the capital of Khartoum on June 3.
They had been holding a sit-in to pressure the military council to hand power over to civilians.
At least 128 people have been killed and hundreds wounded during the break-up and since then, according to protesters.
However, authorities say only 61 have died, including three security forces.
On Thursday, Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known by his nickname Hamedti, said he won't reveal the identities of the "perpetrators" so as not to influence an ongoing military investigation.
Dagalo warned of impostors posing as troops among the Rapid Support Forces, who protesters blame for the bulk of the killings.
Dagalo, who leads the RSF, said the military had arrested dozens of people wearing RSF uniforms and committing violations. On Wednesday alone, nine impostors were arrested, he said.
"Anyone who had crossed his limits whether they are from the military or civilians, I swear to God, will stand trial," said Dagalo in an address to a military-backed women's rally in Khartoum. He did not release any other details from the military investigation.
The military council took over the country after massive protests drove longtime autocratic president Omar al-Bashir from power in April.
Negotiations with protesters reached a deadlock following the clampdown on their sit-in.
Last week, the spokesman for the ruling military council, Gen. Shams Eddin Kabashi, acknowledged that the military had committed violations while dispersing the sit-in and that an investigation was underway.
The dispersal was an alarming turn in the standoff between the protesters and the military, which removed President Omar al-Bashir from power in April after a months-long popular uprising against his 30-year rule.
The crackdown elicited a storm of international criticism of the ruling council and culminated in the suspension of Sudan from the African Union.
Leaders of the protest movement called for an international investigation into the killings, a demand vehemently opposed by the generals.

No, really. You can read the whole story in Breitbart, here. Oh, but wait - it'll only be "temporary". Ah, that's okay, then: just a wee bit of an experimentette. Or it might be, if only recent history hadn't repeatedly demonstrated that once a deranged (or, if you prefer, caring, inclusive, compassionate, kindly, virtue-signalling) liberal-left measure has been foisted on an unsuspecting populace, cultural Marxists will use the new dispensation to push the envelope as far it will go, and quite a bit further. In Sweden's case, the envelope appears to be infinitely expandable.
If previous campaigns are anything to go by, what will start as a temporary arrangement to set a room aside for other faiths to worship their deities in a Christian church without the distraction of upsetting traditional symbols of the Christian religion will rapidly be declared such a ringing success that all the churches under the bishop's jurisdiction will be ordered to follow suit. Then cultural Marxists in other areas of Sweden will accuse their local clergy of cultural fascism and racism for dragging their feet, and they'll all eventually cave in. Many Christians will object, of course, and the more outspoken among them will be treated as reactionary pariahs and forced out of the church. Pretty soon, left-wing dementors in other European countries - and, of course, those parts of America where Democrats hold sway - will start militating for churches to be put at the disposal of the whole community, allowing them to be transformed into vibrant, dynamic, diverse multi-faith hubs - amorphous, neutral "spiritual centres". Obviously, the same demands will not be made of mosques, because that would be insensitive.
Given what Muslims have been doing to Christians in other parts of the world recently, I think the Bishop may be taking the concept of turning the other cheek to extremes. And if she's expecting gratitude, she can forget it: that's not how it works, lady.
Thanks to the success of cultural Marxism, the liberal democracies of the West have all gone a bit nuts in recent decades - but Sweden, as always, is way out in front: it really should be trussed up in a strait-jacket and left to thresh around in a rubber-walled room until it has returned to its senses. It has, as the Swedish journalist Ingrid Carlqvist put it in this 2012 talk, turned into Absurdistan. I'd like to think the ruling elites in other Western countries are watching its decline, and planning ways to make sure it can't happen to them. But they're not, of course: they're probably treating Sweden's protracted exercise in cultural suicide as a blueprint for turning the whole of the West into Absurdistan:
God save us from our own folly. Seriously.

Written, directed and executive produced by series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Daniel Palladino, the four-part Netflix series Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life brings back countless favorites from the original series, including, of course, Lauren Graham (as Lorelai Gilmore), Alexis Bledel (as Rory Gilmore), Kelly Bishop (as Emily Gilmore) and Scott Patterson (as Luke Danes) while also paying tribute to actor Edward Herrmann (who played Richard Gilmore on the original series), who died in 2014. A true gift to the fans that have supported the series and felt like it deserved the chance to end on its own terms, Stars Hollow has been fully restored in all its glory, from Luke's Diner to the Dragonfly Inn to Lorelai's charming Connecticut home.
During a roundtable interview to promote the Netflix revival, actor Scott Patterson talked about having to find his character again, being surprised that it took this long to bring the series back, going to deeper places this time around, where Luke fits in among the other characters, his favorite episode, the importance of bringing the right cast together, and where Luke and Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) are now.
Question: Was it easy to slip back into the skin of Luke?
SCOTT PATTERSON: I thought it would be easy, but the reality set in, right away. My first scene was in the diner, and I did not feel comfortable. I didn't feel like I had him yet. We did a quick rehearsal, got the blocking down, and something was off. So I said to (creator) Amy [Sherman-Palladino], "I need to take a little walk around Stars Hollow. I need a minute to get this guy." I've changed. I've had a son and a life. It's been eight or nine years, so you're going to change a little bit. So, I took a walk around the town for about 10 minutes, and I thought the thoughts and felt the feelings. And then, I came back in and there he was. That's how it happened.
So, the town really helped you get back into it, then?
PATTERSON: I think for actors and for an audience to really buy in, how well crafted the buildings are and how real it is, is important. It takes months to do that. That's what so many less budgeted productions suffer from. You aren't suspending disbelief because the construction crew wasn't as good or the designers weren't as detailed. Here, it's just the best of the best.
Are there some updates in Stars Hollow?
PATTERSON: Yes. Not many. I can't be specific, but there are a few.
Were you surprised to be at a point where you could revisit this character, or were you more surprised that it took as long as it did?
PATTERSON: I'm a little surprised it took this long. I figured it was inevitable, just because of the fans. The show is more like a religion to fans. It's not just, "We really enjoy the show." It's a daily ritual. It's part of people's lives. Especially before, during and after ATX, I realized that this was going to happen, and that if it didn't happen now, it wasn't going to. That really drove it home.
How did your own growth and change help influence the character?
PATTERSON: The show is deeper. We're going to some places that we didn't really visit in the original series. I'm not saying it in a derogatory sense, but it was a little sacchariney. It hasn't lost that, but it's able to go into deeper places. The passing of Ed Hermann influenced the story a great deal. It affects every single character. We're going deeper. We're plumbing the depths here. The stakes are raised, for sure.
Where do you see Luke's place, among the hierarchy of characters?
PATTERSON: He's the Rock of Gibraltar type. No matter how big a wave or how many tidal waves were going to crash into him, he was just going to stand there. He was going to take it. He's a throwback character to how men used to be, and how fewer and fewer men are today. Luke is a guy who's not in it for him. He's like, "What can I do for you?" He's not looking to be the center of attention. He's not looking to even really get any credit. He just wants to be there. He loves and he loves deeply, and he'll take the pain and be quiet about it, so as not to attract the enemy while he's screaming. He's a solid guy.
What were some of your favorite episodes?
PATTERSON: I enjoyed the pilot. You knew the flowers were going to be beautiful and you knew the soil was rich. The chemistry was there and flying all over the place. The pilot, for me, has always been my favorite. There wasn't a person that wasn't a joy to work with. It was all terrific.
How did you originally find who this guy was?
PATTERSON: I think all of the credit goes to Amy, in casting the role the way she did. That's a casting choice. I don't know what conversations went on behind closed doors with the network, at the time, but I don't know that they wanted me. I don't know that they wanted any of us. If you're a network, you want names, you want recognizable people, and you want people who you think are really going to help sell the show. I think Amy fought for all of us. I think they had an agenda for the character, but I was just a guest star on the pilot. I think Amy sensed, when I walked in the room, that I was that guy. She was looking for a guy who was a little outside of society, who was a non-conformist that didn't care. I really walked into that room with what I refer to as the dumb courage of the truly burned-out because I was really burned-out on auditioning. I was auditioning beautifully for years, but wasn't getting to first base. I was always the bridesmaid, just getting left at the altar. They were like, "You're our guy, next time."
I just didn't care anymore, and I think Amy sensed that. She sensed that I had the ability or the innate personality to not try to make Luke likable, and to just be myself. That's the way I was in the room with them, and they felt very comfortable with me. It can be a very intimidating thing, walking in those rooms, especially with people of that caliber, but it was just a wonderful connection with everybody. I think the psychology of the room got flipped because I just didn't care. I didn't want their job. I didn't expect it. I didn't needed it. I needed it, but I didn't let them know that I needed it. And it was just a guest star thing. But, I automatically hooked in with Amy. She got me, and not a lot of people do, when I walk into those rooms. I think that's really the core of it. It's about having somebody hire you that's going to let you be you. Casting it all of it, and Amy is brilliant. That's 90% of the battle. If you cast the part right, you're good, and I think she absolutely did. I read it and said, "That's me. No one else is playing it."
What can you tease about where Luke and Jess are now?
PATTERSON: I can't really touch on that, that much, but he's there. You're going to be very happy. Ultimately, Luke is proud of Jess. Luke isn't ashamed of him. Luke feels good. And I really enjoyed working with [Milo Ventimiglia] because it made me feel like a father. It was a precursor of what was to come. He's such a great kid to have around. He's a good time. Plus, when you're with him, nobody pays attention to you, so you get a lot done.
Do you think this show was ahead of its time?
PATTERSON: It was absolutely influential with pacing, and that's a throwback to '40s dialogue. That's Gregory Peck and Cary Grant. That's the pace that they did so beautifully and so well. It's also maybe a little bit of a throwback to The Donna Reed Show or The Dick Van Dyke Show. It's familiar, but with a new twist. Has there ever been a show that is so accessible, so open and so unashamed, with such rich characters? This a diverse group of weird characters. This is a town full of misfits, basically, and they're just as non-threatening as they can be. No matter how angry Luke gets, you know he's not going to go crazy. He's just this silly guy. His world is small and he doesn't like change. That's the point. Fans know they can go there and they're going to get what they get and they're not going to be disappointed.
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life is available at Netflix on November 25th.

Consumption and trade in off-patented medicines
May 2001
The paper spells out the problems relating to the access to older, patent-expired essential medicines in developing countries. The author highlights spending priorities, inadequate infrastructure for public health care, inadequate external financing and insufficient political commitment as the crucial barriers to improving access to quality health care in developing countries. The paper is bound to be controversial given the sensitivity of the issues raised. But an integrated approach to quality health care makes it necessary to address these problems along with the problems emerging from the TRIPs regime and globalisation.

Grimm seem to be evolving much faster than other species. Creatures are able to adapt themselves to specialized functions within their society.
As with the Hulking Grimm and Grimm Digger, the Grimmancer was sculpted by Christian Danckworth. I think he did a great job on all three and I hope that future Grimm are sculpted by him. Looking at the concept art for as-yet-unreleased Grimm in the Guide, there could be some fun minis forthcoming in the future.
