Required Reporting to the I.R.S.
Sellers of real property will have certain information regarding the
sale reported to the Internal Revenue Service.
This required reporting is a consequence of the Tax Reform Act of 1986;
it is intended to encourage taxpayer compliance and aid in audit and
enforcement efforts by the I.R.S.
To help you better understand this subject, the Land Title Association
has answered some of the questions most commonly asked about Required
Reporting to the I.R.S.
Who is required to report to the I.R.S.?
Sellers of real property, under guidelines established by the I.R.S.,
are required to have their gross proceeds from the sale reported on a
Form 1099S. When a settlement agent is used, the I.R.S. makes this agent
responsible for the delivery of the information on the Form 1099S.
The settlement agent generally will be the escrow agent or title
company; however, it may be an attorney, real estate broker or other
person providing settlement services.
What is an I.R.S. Form 1099S, and what will be reported?
The Form 1099S is the reporting form adopted by the I.R.S. for
submitting the information required by law.
The information will be transferred onto magnetic media by the
settlement agent who will store the information and make the required
report to the I.R.S. The settlement agent is also responsible for
keeping a master copy of all transactions reported.
In general, information required by the I.R.S. falls into the following
categories:
- The name, address and taxpayer ID number (social security or tax
identification number) of the seller(s)
- A general description of the property (in most cases an address)
- The closing date of the transaction
- The gross proceeds of the transaction (even though gross proceeds do not
correspond to taxable income)
- Any property involved as part of the transaction other than cash or cash
equivalent
- The name, address and taxpayer identification number of the settlement
agent.
- Real estate tax paid in advance that is allocable to the buyer.
On what type of transactions is a Form 1099S required?
Currently, typical homeowner transactions covered include sales and
exchanges of 1-4 family residential properties such as houses,
townhouses, and condominiums. Also reportable are sales or exchanges of
improved or unimproved land, commercial or industrial buildings,
condominiums, stock in a cooperative housing corporation and mobile
homes (manufactured homes) affixed to real property.
Specifically excluded from reporting are foreclosures and abandonment of
real property and financing or refinancing of properties.
What happens if the seller(s) refuses to provide the taxpayer
identification number for the Form 1099S?
The settlement agent is required to request the transferor’s taxpayer
identification number(s) (TIN(s)) before the time of closing. You may
request a TIN on Form W-9 or use an alternative written request. The IRS
has included sample wording of an alternative written request in the
instructions for preparation of Form 1099S.
Should the seller fail to provide the identification number and certify
its correctness, the settlement agent may choose to:
- Delay the closing of the transactions until the information is
furnished, or
- Complete the transaction and report to the I.R.S. that an attempt was
made to obtain the information from the seller.
How is the sale reported when there is more than one seller involved or
when multiple sellers do not own equal interests in the property?
Multiple sellers may allocate the gross proceeds among themselves for
purposes of reporting. If there is no allocation, an incomplete
allocation or conflicting allocations, then the entire gross proceeds
will be reported for each seller.
Where can I go for further information on taxation of real property?
The I.R.S. provides free publications that explain the tax aspects of
real estate transactions. You may wish to order:
- Publication #523 “Tax Information on Selling Your Home”
- Publication #530 “Tax Information for Home Owners”
- Publication #544 “Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets”
- Publication #551 “Basis of Assets”

bson_unichar_t
Unicode Character Abstraction
Synopsis
typedef uint32_t bson_unichar_t;
Description
bson_unichar_t provides an abstraction on a single unicode character. It is the 32-bit representation of a character. As UTF-8 can contain multi-byte characters, this should be used when iterating through UTF-8 text.
Example
static void print_each_char (const char *str) { bson_unichar_t c; for (; *str; str = bson_utf8_next_char (str)) { c = bson_utf8_get_char (str); printf ("The numberic value is %u.\n", (unsigned)c); } }

The primary method to locate data in the DataONE network is to use the web based search tool located at https://search.dataone.org.
Data can also be discovered programmatically from R using the
dataone R package method query
. Both the web page
and the R method access the same underlying search mechanism, the Apache
Foundation Solr search engine that runs on the DataONE Coordinating
Node. The DataONE Solr index, similar to a catalog or database,
contains information for every dataset that is available from the
DataONE network.
The same search mechanism is available on DataONE Member Nodes. However, the search index on a member node only contains dataset information for datasets that are contained on that member node.
Information about the Solr search engine can be obtained at Solr Resources.
Additional information about searching DataONE can be viewed at Content Discovery.
query
MethodSome familiarity with Solr is helpful when using the
query
method effectively, however basic queries can be very
powerful and the examples in this document can provide a starting point.
As an alternative to composing queries using Solr syntax, a simpler
search mechanism is available with the query
method that
uses name, value pairs (See the section: *A Simplified Search”).
Additional information about the query
method can be
obtained from the R help facility, e.g. ?query
from the R
command line.
The following example queries DataONE and returns values in an R list, with each value converted from the Solr result to the appropriate R data type:
library(dataone)
<- CNode("PROD")
cn <- list(q="id:doi*", rows="5", fq="abstract:carbon", fl="id,title,dateUploaded,abstract,datasource,size")
queryParamList <- query(cn, solrQuery=queryParamList, as="list") result
The ‘solrQuery’ argument takes a list of query parameters that are
sent to the DataONE Solr search engine and control how the search is
performed. The name of each list element is a Solr keyword which is
combined with the list element value to create each Solr query term. All
these terms are combined to create the complete Solr query. The
queryParamlist
in the example above will be used to
construct this Solr query:
?q=id:doi*&rows=5,&fq=abstract:carbon&fl=id,title,dateUploaded,abstract,datasource,size
The q=id:doi*
is the main query term and specifies that
all DataONE objects that have an id
field value beginning
with doi*
should be returned.
The &fq=abstract:carbon
term is a
filter query
, which filters the results so that only
results with an abstract
field containing the word
carbon
will be returned.
The
&fl=id,title,dateUploaded,abstract,datasource,size
term
is a field
specifier, so only those fields in the list will
be included in the result set.
The &rows=5
term specifies that a maximum of five
results will be returned.
The result
object contains all the data values found and
returned from the query. Each element of the returned list contains
information for one dataset. Each returned attribute for a dataset can
be accessed with the appropriate element name, for example, to access
the title information of the first dataset returned, use the R
statement:
1]]$title result[[
To print out selected information for all returned values, use:
<- lapply(result, function(x) {
ids message(sprintf("id: %s", x$id))
message(sprintf("origin member node: %s", x$datasource))
message(sprintf("title: %s", x$title))
message(sprintf("date uploaded: %s", x$dateUploaded))
$id
x })
The complete list of possible searchable values stored for a dataset can be viewed using getQueryEngineDescription():
<- CNode()
cn getQueryEngineDescription(cn, "solr")
However, the values available for a particular dataset may be a subset of these, depending on the metadata provided when the dataset is uploaded to DataONE.
The DataONE Coordinating Node (CN) contains metadata about datasets from all Member Nodes (MN) in the network. As the above example shows, sending a query to the CN may find matching datasets located on potentially any Member Node in the network.
To return results as a data frame, use the as
parameter
as shown below. In addition all values will be stored as
character
, because parse=FALSE
is
specified:
<- CNode("PROD")
cn <- query(cn, queryParamList, as="data.frame", parse=FALSE) result
The result
is a data frame with each row containing
information for one dataset. To print all returned DataONE identifiers
from the result:
'id'] result[,
A search may be performed by just specifying query fields and values using the searchTerms parameter. For example, to search for datasets that mention ‘kelp’ in the abstract and have an attribute description that contains the word ‘biomass’, the following query could be used:
<- CNode("PROD")
cn <- getMNode(cn, "urn:node:KNB")
mn <- list(abstract="kelp", attribute="biomass")
mySearchTerms <- query(cn, searchTerms=mySearchTerms, as="data.frame") result
Using the searchTerms parameter causes the query method to construct a Solr query based on the list, that is passed on to the DataONE node specified.
The names in the searchTerm list are the query field names available from the Solr query engine being used. These names can be determined using the getQueryEngineDescription function.
If it is known which Member Node holds the data of interest, then a search can be limited to just that MN by sending the search directly to that MN instead of the CN. For example, if the dataset of interest is on The Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB) Member Node, then the search is performed with the statements:
# Query the data holdings on a member node
<- CNode("PROD")
cn <- getMNode(cn, "urn:node:KNB")
mn <- list(q="abstract:habitat", fl="id,title,abstract")
queryParams <- query(mn, queryParams, as="data.frame", parse=FALSE)
result # Choose the first matchin PID
<- result[1,'id'] pid
An alternative way to locate datasets on a particular node is to send
the query to the CN but limit the returned results to data holdings that
originated from the specific member node by using Solr filter query
parameter (&fq
) can be used for the
datasource
field:
<- CNode("PROD")
cn <- 'q=id:*&fl=id,title&fq=datasource:"urn:node:KNB"&rows=5'
queryParams <- query(cn, queryParams, as="data.frame", parse=FALSE)
result 'id'] result[,


public interface Tag extends JspTag
Properties
The Tag interface specifies the setter and getter methods for the core pageContext and parent properties.
The JSP page implementation object invokes setPageContext and setParent, in that order, before invoking doStartTag() or doEndTag().
Methods
There are two main actions: doStartTag and doEndTag. Once all appropriate properties have been initialized, the doStartTag and doEndTag methods can be invoked on the tag handler. Between these invocations, the tag handler is assumed to hold a state that must be preserved. After the doEndTag invocation, the tag handler is available for further invocations (and it is expected to have retained its properties).
Lifecycle
Lifecycle details are described by the transition diagram below, with the following comments:
setParent()
is
called if it's reused within the same page but at a different level, setPageContext()
is called if it's
used in another page, and attribute setters are called if the values differ or are expressed as request-time
attribute values.
Once all invocations on the tag handler are completed, the release method is invoked on it. Once a release method is invoked all properties, including parent and pageContext, are assumed to have been reset to an unspecified value. The page compiler guarantees that release() will be invoked on the Tag handler before the handler is released to the GC.
Empty and Non-Empty Action
If the TagLibraryDescriptor file indicates that the action must always have an empty action, by an <body-content> entry of "empty", then the doStartTag() method must return SKIP_BODY.
Otherwise, the doStartTag() method may return SKIP_BODY or EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE.
If SKIP_BODY is returned the body, if present, is not evaluated.
If EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE is returned, the body is evaluated and "passed through" to the current out.

EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE

EVAL_PAGE

void setPageContext(PageContext pc)
This value is *not* reset by doEndTag() and must be explicitly reset by a page implementation if it changes between calls to doStartTag().
pc
- The page context for this tag handler.void setParent(Tag t)
This value is *not* reset by doEndTag() and must be explicitly reset by a page implementation.
t
- The parent tag, or null.Tag getParent()
The getParent() method can be used to navigate the nested tag handler structure at runtime for cooperation among custom actions; for example, the findAncestorWithClass() method in TagSupport provides a convenient way of doing this.
The current version of the specification only provides one formal way of indicating the observable type of a tag handler: its tag handler implementation class, described in the tag-class subelement of the tag element. This is extended in an informal manner by allowing the tag library author to indicate in the description subelement an observable type. The type should be a subtype of the tag handler implementation class or void. This addititional constraint can be exploited by a specialized container that knows about that specific tag library, as in the case of the JSP standard tag library.
TagSupport.findAncestorWithClass(jakarta.servlet.jsp.tagext.Tag, java.lang.Class<?>)
int doStartTag() throws JspException
The doStartTag method assumes that the properties pageContext and parent have been set. It also assumes that any properties exposed as attributes have been set too. When this method is invoked, the body has not yet been evaluated.
This method returns Tag.EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE or BodyTag.EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED to indicate that the body of the action should be evaluated or SKIP_BODY to indicate otherwise.
When a Tag returns EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE the result of evaluating the body (if any) is included into the current "out" JspWriter as it happens and then doEndTag() is invoked.
BodyTag.EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED is only valid if the tag handler implements BodyTag.
The JSP container will resynchronize the values of any AT_BEGIN and NESTED variables (defined by the associated TagExtraInfo or TLD) after the invocation of doStartTag(), except for a tag handler implementing BodyTag whose doStartTag() method returns BodyTag.EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED.
JspException
- if an error occurred while processing this tagBodyTag
int doEndTag() throws JspException
This method will be called after returning from doStartTag. The body of the action may or may not have been evaluated, depending on the return value of doStartTag.
If this method returns EVAL_PAGE, the rest of the page continues to be evaluated. If this method returns SKIP_PAGE, the rest of the page is not evaluated, the request is completed, and the doEndTag() methods of enclosing tags are not invoked. If this request was forwarded or included from another page (or Servlet), only the current page evaluation is stopped.
The JSP container will resynchronize the values of any AT_BEGIN and AT_END variables (defined by the associated TagExtraInfo or TLD) after the invocation of doEndTag().
JspException

Hops |
(flowers) |
While living in a remote area of Oregon, several individuals tried smoking hops due to it's familial relation to cannibis.
The hops used was the regular H. lupulus, not H. lupulus var aureus
A hops flower resembles a small pine cone, about the size of a large thimble. When these are dried, I spread the petals of the flower and see small yellowish crystals near the stem. By pinching the hops flower between the thumb and forefinger, (forfinger on the top of the cone, the stem on top of the thumb), I can then trim off /most/ of the dried petal's plant material, leaving mainly a stem with a small portion of each petal covered with yellow crystals.
3 individuals smoked 5 flowers in a glass pipe. We did notice a very slight sedative effect, very pleasant. The smoke had a sweet flavor (which led to other experiments), but was a bit harsh. The experience was a bit novel, but was worthy of noting for one's pharmacopia.
Some others tried hops flowers mixed with cannabis resin to make it 'palatable' for smoking. They heated the resin and chopped it with shredded hops, coating the flowers.
Probably the best use for hops flowers is beer.
Experience Reports are the writings and opinions of the individual authors who submit them.
Some of the activities described are dangerous and/or illegal and none are recommended by Erowid.


This demos shows image atlas in action. As a difference with atlas-texturepack.html demo, this one texture packs two atlas images not as whole images, but only the image regions that define the atlas. So if your atlas is not well packed because it contains lots of empty space, this space won't be blitted to the Texture packer images.
Click the swinging Node to see the whole image and back to its original size.
You can see the red crossed rects and a white frame around each SpriteFrame because debug in the Texture Packer is enabled.

The Pittsburgh Pawngrabbers scored a crushing victory during yesterday's match against the Lions with many exciting games spread out across the event. The Pawngrabbers were able to secure their first lead in the second round before outright winning the match in the third. The momentum didn't stop there, however, as the team scored 3.5 points in the final round anyways.
The team was very excited by this result:
Great team win from the Pawngrabbers against @lionschess, with a 12-4 final result 💪 Mika and Mark scored 2.5/4 and 2/4 respectively in their 2019 @PROChessLeague debuts! #nervesofsteel pic.twitter.com/lWor83KdEX
— Pittsburgh Pawngrabbers (@pghpawngrabbers) February 7, 2019
This is so far the most dominating win in franchise history with stellar performances across all 4 boards. Each of the Pawngrabbers scored at least 2 points including a perfect 4 / 4 from GM Evgeny Postny and a 3.5 / 4 from GM Sergey Erenburg. This huge victory has brought the Pawngrabbers up to 6th place in the standings pulling them out of the relegation zone.
Every player on the Pawngrabbers had a strong showing this week, but the highlight of the match for the Pawngrabbers was GM Evgeny Postny's game against GM Sergei Movsesian in round 3. While some of Postny's games were more even, the game shown below is a perfect example of just how overwhelming his wins in the PRO Chess League can be even against other strong grandmasters.
GM Postny ended this game with twice as many queens on the board as his opponent, scoring his third point of the match. He would go on to defeat GM Romain Edouard in the final round and score more points than any other player in the Atlantic Division this week.
A day before the match started, in order to spice up the competition, both teams agreed to a bet regarding the match results:
It seems like the @pghpawngrabbers are super confident about the match this week that they’ve taken us on in a bet! What should the stakes be? We’re letting the @PROChessLeague and @chesscom fans decide! #prochess #chess
— London Lions (@lionschess) February 5, 2019
The agreed bet was that the losing team would have to read a pre-scripted minute long speech written by the winning team during next week's stream. They would then have to clip it and tweet it. Look out for that clip coming out of Twitter during next week's match.

Intro
Detection of vegetation in images is a ordinary procedure in remote sensing and is commonly applied to satellite or aerial images. In recent times it has been applied to images recorded from within ground vehicles for navigation in outdoor situations. In this project we present a methods for roadside vegetation detection proposed for separating the flora from the rest of image. Our feature set contains of color features and texture features. One of our detailed goals was to find a useful texture feature set for the problem of flora detection.

Software engineers today are less likely to design data structures and algorithms from scratch and more likely to build systems from library and framework components. In this course, students engage with concepts related to the construction of software systems at scale, building on their understanding of the basic building blocks of data structures, algorithms, program structures, and computer structures. The course covers technical topics in four areas: (1) concepts of design for complex systems, (2) object oriented programming, (3) static and dynamic analysis for programs, and (4) concurrent and distributed software. Student assignments involve engagement with complex software such as distributed massively multi-player game systems and frameworks for graphical user interaction.

PUBLI©ITY is a 1-year vertical, interdisciplinary studio course at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, taught by Peter Exley and Drea Howenstein, that investigates collaborative acts of creativity, forging new models for public space, pocket parks & “micro-city” environments, with/by and for city stakeholders. The studio has been working to collectively create an agenda for local and international urban issues, using emerging intelligence, and creative energy to create local conversation and strategies for real public spaces.
Through a combination of direct experience, course readings, fieldtrips, individual research and discussion, each person in the class has investigated historical and contemporary contexts, and the social, political, cultural, economic and ecological dimensions of their project. Educators, Makers and Thinkers have created creative solutions based upon individual interests and foundational information through project ideas, development, and materials.
We can consider a society to be democratic when it enables the full participation of its citizens and promotes the goals of opportunity, fairness, and justice. Designers can play a considerable role in maintaining a democratic process by analyzing democratic institutions and procedures as objects of design, creating tools to enhance participation in public debates about the practice of democracy, and designing projects to achieve the end goals that a democracy promises.
At a time when the tenets of democracy are under siege, mobilizing designers to help sustain, and invigorate its values is crucial. This event was held on September 27, SAIC Sullivan Galleries, 33 S. State St., 7th floor in our GFRY Studio and at The Art Institute of Chicago, Sullivan Gallery and included a lecture by Lecturer Victor Margolin, Professor Emeritus of Design History at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
Radical Love, Play, Conscientização, and Expanding Boundaries: A Performance Workshop on Social Change, was a 1 1/2-day event, hosted by GFRY Studio, that focused upon theoretical commonalities of Paulo Freire, Eric Fromm, and Augusto Boal, using Pedagogy, and Theater of the Oppressed texts, and an exploration of freedom and action, grounded with/by/through the body.
The GFRY Studio, together with Alex Starr, and Sebastian Alvarez, organized an evening of presentations, readings, discussions and food, followed by an all day collaborative workshop, exploring social praxis. The workshop sought to explore and link the educational theories of Paulo Freire, and Eric Fromm, with an understanding of the praxis of Augusto Boal. This event was held on January 16 & 18, at The Art Institute of Chicago, Sullivan Gallery.
This think tank was intended to take stock of how Chicagoans are imagining change. Our increasingly inter-relational, co-dependent world requires new forms of co-evolution. The thinkers, designers, and makers participating in this session speculated on the future of this city as they brought forward ideas ranging from infrastructure and architecture to the natural landscape and social institutions.
This event was coordinated by GFRY Publi©ity Studio, presenters at this event included local thinkers who framed key issues in ecological and social resilience and capacity building. Our featured guest speakers were, Ken Dunn, Founder and Director, Resource Center, Laura Forlano, Asst. Professor of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology, Iker Gil, Director, MAS Studio and Victor Margolin, Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois at Chicago. This think tank was held on November 16, at The Art Institute of Chicago, Sullivan Gallery.

Ant and Dec appear to make Duke of York ‘sweat’ joke
The duo also made a jibe about Caitlyn Jenner’s rumoured pay packet.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly appeared to poke fun at the Duke of York’s Newsnight interview as I’m A Celebrity…

Giuffre has said she recalled the royal sweating as they danced at a club, but he said he had a medical condition at the time which meant he did not sweat.
As I’m A Celebrity got under way on ITV on Sunday, McPartlin said this year’s contestants were likely to be “sweating”.
But Donnelly quipped: “Presuming they can sweat, not everybody can apparently…”
The duo also made a couple of jibes about contestant Caitlyn Jenner possibly pocketing a huge salary for appearing on show.
The US reality TV star – known for Keeping Up With The Kardashians – is said to be getting paid £500,000.
Donnelly joked that most people go into the jungle to lose a few pounds, and McPartlin teased that Jenner was apparently “going to be gaining 500,000”.
Donnelly then reminded McPartlin not to believe everything he reads.


Click the "HTML" button in the left corner of the CMS text editor to open the HTML version of your story. Then paste your embed code in the right place and hit the "Update" button.
Find the right spot for your embed before you open the HTML editor and mark it by adding a couple extra empty paragraph returns. When you open the HTML editor, look for a group of empty paragraph tags: <p> </p>. Highlight those empty paragraphs and paste your code in their place.
Always save and preview your elements on the page to make sure it worked correctly.
If you need to make a change, it may be easier to delete the entire component from your HTML editor and paste a new embed code in its place.


Two years ago I wrote a post about Creating a Creative Process. Since then, I have completed three novels and am in production on a fourth, with many more in the pipeline. I have learned a lot of lessons through trial and error. I still have a lot more to learn. But after two years, I figured it was time for an update.
Note that this post is not titled "How To Write a Novel". This is a snapshot of my own process at a specific time in my writing journey. Maybe it will be helpful to other writers, but it's not a prescription nor a recommendation. I'm just sharing my experience.
Like every writer, I have a huge pile of ideas I have jotted down over the years. Every project begins as at least one idea. But most ideas never go into projects. I like to pull elements out of stories I like, or out of stories I don't like that I think I could tell better. I spend a lot of time mulling, recombining pieces to see what could be constructed from them.
An idea doesn't turn into a project until I have nailed down three important aspects of the story:
This phase has no time bound. For some projects it is infinite, for others, a few months. Years will not be unusual, because I can only work so many projects in a year.
I have a confession that may shock and dismay. I don't enjoy drafting.  I don't hate drafting, but I don't like it. To me, drafting is the scut work, the drudgery that simply must be done to produce the product. Some writers love drafting, and their process turns entirely around that activity. They write a draft, and then revise it with further drafts three or five or seven times. My process is designed to keep drafting to an absolute minimum. I don't want to write anything more than once!
Therefore, step one is to create an outline. There are as many ways to create an outline as there are outliners. I have adopted a slightly modified version of The Board as described in Save the Cat. The story is laid out in a grid with four rows, each representing 25% of the story. In my own head I refer to these as "acts" but that tends to confuse (or anger!) people who cling religiously to the Three Act Structure, so I'll just call them quarters.
This grid layout is an excellent visualization for story structure, because the most significant events of the story will form a nice tidy column down the right side of the grid (these are the "plot points" or major turns and the climax). The second-tier events of the story (the "pinch points") will likewise be lined up down the middle of the grid. The setup work will be lined up in the left column. The spaces between are the connective tissue of the story. This gives a story that is well-paced. Snyder recommends doing this with notecards. I have been writing them on a whiteboard. It's the layout, not the medium, that matters.
What I do at the board is what many writers do in their first and second draft. I figure out what happens, and why, and to whom. I typically work from right to left. What are the big events and major turns? What are the complications that lead up to them? What setup do I need to get there? I decompose the story into acts, sequences, and scenes. In the beginning it's a lot of scribbling, but before long it coalesces into a solid outline.
At the end of this process, I have enumerated all the major characters and turned my general idea into a list of scenes that should flow logically from beginning to end.
It's difficult to say how long this phase truly lasts, since I have only recently adopted this technique. For my current work in progress, I spent two full weeks working on it a couple of hours a day, so maybe thirty working hours? But that plot was already well-developed in my head before I began outlining. And in future I intend to be even more thorough in this phase, so probably longer. I imagine some projects will require eighty hours or more.
Now begins the drafting phase. I begin to draft the scenes, one at a time, from beginning to end, in order. I will explore the inner lives of the characters, add color and personality quirks, invent settings, develop the voices, etc.
In this step I will draft somewhere between 25% to 50% of the words. And then I will stop.
By this point, I will have discovered several problems with my original outline. Maybe I need an additional scene to drive the motivation of a character. Maybe I missed an obvious "why don't they just" solution to the character's problem that needs to be explained away or blocked by new complications. Maybe I discover that a planned solution to a problem won't actually work and have to resolve that.
Probably I have added several new setups during drafting whose payoffs will need to be added to the outline. Conflict threads will have developed that will need to be wrapped up somehow at the story's conclusion. The exact order of events may shift.
In short, before I can finish the draft, I need to go back and revise my outline.
The half-draft typically takes 1-2 months at my current drafting pace.
I put the draft away for a time and return to my outline. I have a list of problems to sort out, some gaps to fill, some weak scenes to prop up, replace, or remove. The climax, which has been somewhat abstract, now begins to take on very specific forms.
I bang my head against the board until I'm satisfied that the story is right.
This step may last a few weeks or a few months, depending how badly I have botched the original outline, or how tight the corner is that I have painted myself into.
Having revised my outline, I return to drafting. If necessary, I will perform some revision on existing scenes from the Half Draft, but more typically I will simply make notes about changes that need to be made and continue from where I left off, drafting the scenes in order until I complete the draft.
I label this the First Draft, but note that by this point the story has been revised multiple times already. This is where many writers (pantsers) will be on a Third Draft or later.
Finishing the draft takes 1-2 months.
I have a special bottle of bourbon that I only open when I hit a writing milestone. Finishing a First Draft is one such milestone, so I pour one, make toast to my hard work, and enjoy the feeling of being done with something big.
Then, I put the draft on the shelf for a while and think about something else.
This step may last a couple of weeks, or a couple of months, depending what else I have going on, and how tired I am of looking at the pages!
Next, I pick up the draft again and simply read it through, from beginning to end. I make notes of any issues I find: plot holes, character inconsistencies, poorly worded passages, lame metaphors, etc. I explicitly do not attempt to fix any of these issues in this step, only identify them.
When I say that I make notes, I'm talking specifically about Scrivener's "comments" feature that allows you to attach a comment to any arbitrary selection of text. Those comments become my To-Do list in the revision stage.
I also leave comments when I'm drafting, because struggling to find the right word in the moment often becomes a form of resistance. Drafting notes I leave myself are things like [describe clothing] and [opposite of steep?].
My books are not terribly long, to date, so the read through usually takes just a few days.
Next I work my way through the book, finding all the annotated passages (the Scrivener comments), and correcting the issues one at a time. I tend to write short in my first draft, so this almost always involves adding words to the draft, not trimming.
Depending on how many problems I found, the first revision may take a week or up to a month.
At this point I have made the project the best I can make it by myself. Time to ship it off to the editor and/or beta readers and see what they think.
I will get back a list of notes and suggestions, which I review. I need to decide first, whether the issue is really a problem. Second, is it something that I believe I should fix? I'm unlikely to embark on a total rewrite or major plot change at this stage. Third, how should I fix it? I make more notes.
As in Step 7, I work through the notes one by one until they are all fixed.
Again, the final revision may take a week or a month depending on the number of issues to be corrected.
The Polish step is where the manuscript gets cleaned up and turned into a product. There are a few processes I go through to polish, all of them pretty simple.
This step doesn't require much creative work, and it typically takes two weeks, but can be done in one week if I have enough free time.
At this point, the creative process is done, and the business process is just beginning. I have another drink of my special bourbon to celebrate a completed work, publish that puppy, and do whatever is next.
That's the full skinny on my creative process, as of the beginning of 2019. As you can see, it has evolved a great deal over two years of steady writing. I know the process will continue to evolve as I level up and discover new refinements.
I hope that some other writers find this helpful, and that curious readers now have a little better understanding of what goes into producing a novel. Let me know what you think!

Illustrating Uses of IBM Cloud Security Groups
I wrote this high-level public-facing guide while employed by IBM, creating the security groups feature for IBM Cloud. It used to reside on the IBM blog, but has recently been replaced by newer content, so I've preserved it here for posterity.
This article illustrates a few possible uses of IBM Cloud Security Groups, a per-instance firewall for IBM Cloud virtual instances.
Why Use Security Groups?
Security groups firewall your IBM Cloud applications from nefarious network traffic, protecting you and your company from the efforts of “industrious users” trying to bring down your application, or make off with your customer's credit card details. If those sound like sub-optimal outcomes for your situation, read on…
Allow Incoming SSH Connections
The simplest use of security groups is to allow a single type of network connection to your instances, blocking all other traffic. For example, to allow only incoming SSH connections, which are TCP connections on port 22. All other types of traffic, such as ICMP ‘ping' connections, or TCP connections on other ports, are blocked. Fig 1. A security group configured to allow incoming SSH
Fig 1. A security group configured to allow incoming SSH.
When instances 1 & 2 are added to your security group, firewalls are created directly on those instances,configured to allow or deny the corresponding traffic. Hence, your support engineer can create SSH connections, but cannot send arbitrary network traffic.
Allow SSH from a Specified IP Address
The above scenario allows SSH connection attempts from any IP address. To increase security, you might only allow connections from a particular instance. Fig 2. A security group configured to allow incoming SSH connections (TCP port 22) from a particular IP address.
Fig 2. A security group configured to allow incoming SSH connections (TCP port 22) from a particular IP address.
The security group has been configured with the IP address used by a support engineer – the single instance that is authorized to make a connection. Connections from other instances are blocked.
As well as allowing traffic from a single IP address, security groups can be configured with a CIDR block, to allow traffic from all instances on that subnet. Fig 3. A security group configured to allow incoming SSH connections (TCP port 22) from all instances on a given subnet.
Fig 3. A security group configured to allow incoming SSH connections (TCP port 22) from all instances on a given subnet.
The diagram shows instances on an authorized subnet (deploy1 & deploy2), representing a project CI/CD infrastructure, all being able to make SSH connections to our protected instances, for example to deploy updates to our application. Other instances, such as an enterprising hacker, are blocked.
Allow Application Instances to Access a Distributed Data Store
Another use case would be to allow application servers to access the nodes of a distributed data store. To do this, we'll make a few changes to the above security group configuration.
Firstly, we modify the open port from SSH's 22, to MongoDB's default query API port of 27017.
Secondly, security group 1 is now allowing the creation of outgoing network connections, from our application instances, where previously it was allowing incoming connections. Security group rules can manage traffic in either direction.
Thirdly, we don't want our data store instances to be unprotected, so we'll put them into a security group of their own. Since there's now two security groups, we'll give them names: “app” and “db”.
For now, security group “db” allows all incoming MongoDB queries (TCP connections on 27017), without restricting the IP addresses allowed to make connections. We'll fix that soon. Fig 4. Two security groups configured to allow application servers to send queries to MongoDB nodes on a subnet.
Fig 4. Two security groups configured to allow application servers to send queries to MongoDB nodes on a subnet.
For clarity, these diagrams don't show the many connections which are blocked by this setup - which are, of course, the whole point of security groups. On the above diagram, blocked connections would include:
-
On app instances:
- All incoming connections.
- Outgoing connections that aren't TCP, or are on the wrong port.
- Outgoing connections to anything other than a DB instance.
-
On DB instances:
- All outgoing connections.
- Incoming connections that aren't TCP, or are on the wrong port.
This setup does have a couple of problems. It relies on our MongoDB instances all residing on a single subnet. Worse, as mentioned earlier, it allows any IP address in the world to make queries to MongoDB. We'll fix both of these next.
Using Remote Groups to Specify Arbitrary IP Addresses
Specifying allowed instances using a CIDR block can be inappropriate. It's often preferable to specify a set of arbitrary IP addresses instead. We can do this by using a second security group – known as a remote group – to contain the set of allowed instances. Our first security group can then refer to the remote group to specify which instances are allowed.
In our example above, we would modify the “app” security group by dropping the CIDR block, and replacing it with a reference to “db” as a remote security group.
Similarly, we would modify the “db” group to use “app” as a remote group, only allowing connections from the members of that group. Fig 5. Two security groups configured to allow application servers to send queries to MongoDB nodes using remote groups.
Fig 5. Two security groups configured to allow application servers to send queries to MongoDB nodes using remote groups.
This has several advantages. Firstly, our data store no longer accepts malicious queries from hackers all over the internet – only from our app instances.
Secondly, our data store instances no longer need occupy a subnet, they can have arbitrary IP addresses.
Because the security groups now specify allowed hosts by referencing each other, when the members of either group changes, the instance level firewalling rules on all instances are updated automatically, to allow or deny traffic based on the new membership.
This configuration starts to show what makes security groups a flexible, dynamic, low-maintenance solution.
Accepting Web Requests
Our application instances aren't any use without a web front end. We put our web instances into their own security group (“web”), which allows incoming requests from users on the web, and outgoing API requests to our app instances, on port 61516.
Similarly, we need to add a second rule to the “app” security group, to allow incoming requests from “web”. Fig 6. A traditional three-tier application using remote security groups.
Fig 6. A traditional three-tier application using remote security groups.
The more types of server we add to our setup, the more benefit “remote” groups provide, by minimizing setup configuration, and by automatically keeping firewalling rules up to date when group membership changes.
A future blog post will discuss how to set up this three-tier scenario, and describe details such as how to use multiple network interfaces on an instance, such as the web instances which will use a public IP address exposed to users, versus a private IP exposed to the API instances.
Add a Bastion
We need some way to access our servers, so that we can, for example, deploy new versions of our application. Commonly this is achieved using a bastion server, which provides a single, carefully hardened point of access.
Here we add a bastion server, and modify all our security groups to allow SSH access from the bastion to all our instances. The bastion instance itself would be configured to only allow incoming connections from the appropriate points in a CI/CD infrastructure (not shown.) Fig 7. Adding a bastion server with SSH access to all other instances.

This is starting to look like a realistic setup for a modest but scalable multi-tier application.
Conclusion
Security groups are a flexible and powerful way to firewall network traffic to and from your system's instances. We've shown how they might be used in a few typical scenarios, and hopefully demonstrated that they are flexible enough to accommodate many others.

Begin the Fugue, Part III
What’s Next
Having coached many people to apply and get their first jobs in the world of data science, I have now seen A LOT of job postings and understand that a JD (job description) is more of a wish list of an ideal candidate rather than a required listing of skills. On top of all of that, the characteristics you want out of your future colleagues (like all of the patience and kindness required to sit with a student as you explain how git works, a skill that our instructors seemed to have infinite amounts of, again add ,Wachira Ndaiga, Dan Sanz Becerril, Javi Fernandez Suarez or Ioana P on LinkedIn if you want this, you don’t even have to send a message) do not show up on resumes.
So in that spirit, I want to end this post with posting my own description of what I’d like in my own work, maybe I can think of it as an AD (applicant’s dream!).
I know I won’t hit everything that I’ll list here for my next line of work, but I have a way better idea of what I want out of my next employment having worked in my past role.
Applicants Dream (AD)
The first, and probably most important, aspect I want of my next job is one where I am challenged in a way that leads to daily personal growth. I found my work at Flatiron School to be challenging, but doing the same fifteen week loop over and over again so quickly made it feel more like I was getting better at some insane Shaun T HIIT work-out in terms of my teaching endurance rather than doing some sort of brain bulk (I hope my next employer likes colorful metaphors).
The second thing I really want is to be around people who are obsessed with what they do. As soon as I was told that my job was “at risk” of being redundant, my first thought was thinking about applying for some sort of academic jobs. Rationally, this is probably not the greatest idea considering the incoming COVID Higher Ed crisis, but I still felt this pull.
Why?
Well, I spent a lot of time reflecting and thinking about this very irrational thought and after sitting with it for a couple of days I think that the main reason I feel this pull is because I know that academia selects for people who like and value the same weird stuff that I do.
At this point in life I feel OK telling people that I have extremely nerdy and niche interests compared to many people. In conversations with many of my friends, I know that I like to dive much deeper into my interests and am the kind of person who reads textbooks for fun. (#iamverysmart1) I want to be around other people who are like that.
Of course this has its serious downsides, I find it really, really difficult to have hobbies that don’t turn into obsessions and projects, but at least I am aware of that and OK with that now. That is kind of what academia is and it’s nice to know that I am going to have traits like that in common with my future colleagues from Day One if I were to work in that setting, but I have learnt (in more of a feeling, rather than intellectual way) that academia is not the only place that this type of personality exists. Again, this is very much like the learning Spanish analogy from before having worked somewhere where I didn’t think I would have.
Now I think it’s becoming a lot more common for many academics to work in industry after coming to this realisation. At this juncture in life (and considering the future of the academic “job market”), it seems a bit wiser to still keep an eye open to whatever opportunities come up that are close to what I find meaningful, rather than getting too parochial too soon.
So right now, what I really want to do next is keep investing in my technical skills, ideally in the area of where my domain expertise is which is music. At Flatiron School, every so often when students would ask me a question where I didn’t know the answer right away, I had to remind them that the knowledge that I have about the world of data science is really only a by-product of wanting to answer questions that I have found personally meaningful in my own work.
At the end of the day, I didn’t learn all this coding and stats stuff so I could just teach it (never in 100 years would I have thought I’d be doing that in my first year of my PhD); I learned it so I could ask really obscure questions about the the hierarchical structure of western tonal music in a subset of a WEIRD population known as Western conservatory musicians who are learning solfege. That’s what I currently really like.2
Is there market value in knowing that? Can I make the “business case” for that? At this point, I’m sure I could spin it so there was something, but I’m OK with it standing on its own.
But I know that no one will pay me to do that (unless I can maybe secure some postdoc funding in that?) but I’m planning on using a lot of my time in the future to devote to my WEIRD interests.
Then lastly, going forward to my next line of work it would be really nice to have a manager who was as kind as my old manager. I remember being totally dumbfounded at the idea of “onboarding” coming from an academic background (hello baptism by fire with hidden curricula abound!). The amount of support and questions and effort my manager went through to get to know me as I was starting was something I will take with me if I am ever in that position. Big thanks to Ben Miller for everything on that front.
Then lastly, it would be nice, but obviously not necessary to have all the perks of working in industry like having a salary that allows you to be more generous with your money, no obligation to work off the clock, free coffee and beer (that will probably never happen again), and remote work options.
Conclusions
Now a lot of this sounds like maybe the next step here is to maybe do a postdoc or try to secure a job doing music industry, but I would not be so bold with the amount of uncertainty that everyone is facing right now to say I know exactly what is next. Even though I might know what I want, I’m fully aware that I need temper my expectations.
And if I can’t land something right away, I have a lot of personal research projects I want to attend to in the near future and the fact that I want to spend my free time working on these probably is a big hint of what I should look at next. I also have three fat textbooks I want to read this summer and have plans to brush the dirt off a lot of my programming.
Lastly, I’d just like to end by saying that I had a great experience in something that I didn’t anticipate and just wanted to say that out loud for anyone else that reads this and might be in a similar position. It felt like such a commitment signing my contract here, like I’d given up on what I wanted to do. But here I am again, thinking about weird research in a much more stable position, using my free time to write papers and submit to conferences I find interesting.
Though I guess the real end of this should be if anyone knows of any gigs or jobs, either in teaching or research, please get in touch. I’m cleared to work both in the United Kingdom and the United States.
