Her “frequency-hopping spread spectrum” allowed torpedo communications devices to rapidly change frequencies, reducing the chances its radio signal would be intercepted, changed, or blocked. Lamarr, with friend George Antheil, came up with an idea for a secure torpedo guidance system during WWII, developing a technology that’s used today to secure digital communications.

For Liliana, the devastating secret she learns pushes her to search for answers from her father, El Jefe. It’s a romance that stands out for its immediacy, in that regard, and also suffers for it. And that’s the secret to the mysterious charms and flaws of The Sun is Also a Star, a movie that overwhelms us with its coincidences and turns of fate, announcing these gestures loudly and lovingly every step of the way, sometimes to egg on the shock and suspense of romantic possibility, other times to simply make us marvel at the beauty of it all. If it all sounds a little overbearing, well, it is. The lesson? Sometimes “late” is exactly where you’re meant to be. A metro worker pipes up over the PA to tell the frustrated passengers to relax-and then tells the train full of wary rush hour commuters a story about the day a loved one was meant to catch a train to get to work at the World Trade Center, but was made late by fate (or so the story goes). When the movie opens, Daniel and a friend are making their way into the city from Queens on a crowded subway train, and the train stalls.

Miller learns-not so quickly-that if he wants to make Sunshine “Sunny” Waters fall for him, he going to have to do a whole lot more than show her his stick skills in the bedroom. What he doesn’t take into account is the amount of time and effort relationships require, or that constantly letting bunnies take selfies with him to post all over social media isn’t going to win him any points in the boyfriend department. Beyond that minor detail, Miller doesn’t know the first thing about having a girlfriend. Except, unlike Alex Waters, center, team captain and all round nice guy-who happens to be dating his step-sister-Miller’s manwhore reputation is well earned, and not blown out of proportion by the media. Miller thinks he’s found that woman in his teammate’s sister. One he takes on dates and doesn’t jump into bed with after five seconds of conversation.

Some writers say that they never read, but few (if any) successful authors will say that. Just for fun, I have created a loose step-by-step guide to stealing like an artist for writers: It is truly using someone else’s vision as inspiration to help bring your own vision to life. It may mean incorporating a setting you love, or some details that stand out in your mind. It may involve new characters and a similar story but wildly different plot points and ending. It is perfectly okay to do as long as it is fundamentally your own, different from the original. Not even if you steal the entire premise of the book. It does not involve using the same exact words, but it does mean adapting some things you really enjoy about the other author’s work to fit your own style and story. It does mean taking elements of other people’s work that you really enjoyed and incorporating it into your own work. Stealing like an artist does not mean plagiarism, copyright infringement, or intellectual theft. This is by no means a comprehensive guide to stealing like an artist, as it is its own art form, and not one many master. Lord Weston is ready to put the plan into action, but Grace cannot lie about her situation. But what happens when one of them is a Christian and isn't comfortable lying?Ĭan a known rake come to accept God's grace? Can he turn his back on how he's lived his life and be the husband for Grace? He is determined to protect Grace's virtue, but the only way he can do that is to say she is his betrothed. Pretend to be betrothed and then break it off. To protect Grace's reputation, Lord Weston announces she is his betrothed. She is caught in a compromising situation, but she will do everything she has to in order to ensure nothing hurts her sister Lydia's introduction to society. I loved this Christian historical romance by Mary Moore! I loved the dialogue between Lady Grace Endicott and Lord Weston. The Man Who Saw Everything is about the difficulty of seeing ourselves and others clearly. As he waits for her to arrive, he is grazed by an oncoming car, which changes the trajectory of his life. As a gift for his translator's sister, a Beatles fanatic who will be his host, Saul's girlfriend will shoot a photograph of him standing in the crosswalk on Abbey Road, an homage to the famous album cover.
