Seven Tips From Ernest Hemingway on How to Write Fiction Image by Lloyd Arnold via Wikimedia Commons Before he was a big game hunter, before he was a deep-sea fisherman, Ernest Hemingway was a craftsman who would rise very early in the morning and write. His best stories are masterpieces of the modern era, and his prose style is one of the most influential of the 20th century. Hemingway never wrote a treatise on the art of writing fiction. 1: To get started, write one true sentence. Hemingway had a simple trick for overcoming writer's block.

There is a difference between stopping and foundering. The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. 3: Never think about the story when you're not working. 7: Be Brief.

- StumbleUpon Who came up with the idea that we are supposed to drink orange juice at breakfast? And why, if oatmeal is so good for us, do we eat that only in the morning as well? Apologies to the Palinites, but nutritionists are starting to realize that you and I like our oatmeal and OJ before we start the day because we evolved to like it that way—because enjoying the two together is healthier than eating each of them alone. Epidemiologist David R. Jacobs, Ph.D., of the University of Minnesota calls it food synergy, and he, along with many other nutritionists, believes it might explain why Italians drizzle cold-pressed olive oil over tomatoes and why the Japanese pair raw fish with soybeans. "The complexity of food combinations is fascinating because it's tested in a way we can't test drugs: by evolution," says Jacobs. Tomatoes & Avocadoes Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a pigment-rich antioxidant known as a carotenoid, which reduces cancer risk and cardiovascular disease. Oatmeal & Orange Juice

adhoc-on-android - Java library that provide creation and termination of ad-hoc networks on the android platform with multi-hop communication through the AODV routing protocol As part of acquiring the degree of B.Sc. in engineering, there has have developed an ad-hoc library that may be included to any Android app that need to run on a mobile ad-hoc network. The library comprises a routing protocol module (based on AODV) and a setup module for creating and stopping an ad-hoc network on supported Android devices. The current supported Android phones are HTC Hero, Nexus One and HTC Dream, though only the first two phones are actually tested. The developed library is only a prototype, meaning that many improvements are available, including letting the library create an ad-hoc network with less manual "interfering". By interfering it is meant that the library e.g. require that the tiwlan.ini file exist (for Hero) on the phone. Along with the library, there has been developed a very simple Android text messenger app that exploit the functionality of the library as a "proof of concept". Note: Require a rooted phone!
