Behind the Scenes of a Writing Conference
When you attend a writing conference, you e a façade(公众可见的场景)that took months or longer to make up. Plenty is going on behind the scenes. Let’s take a look behind the curtain.
The day starts long before attendees walk through the door. Registration is t up, signs posted and tables arranged. Logistics(后勤)all fall on the conference organizers. For example, the annual conference I direct in San Francisco(e the poster above)is a simple one-day conference that takes more than eight months to put together and around 15 staff and volunteers to manage. Larger multi-day conferences have even more going on behind the scenes.
Overeing it all is the conference director, a conductor who typically works with committee directors to make sure everything runs smoothly. Over the cour of the conference, staffers make sure everything stays on track. It’s not unusual for staff to walk miles in a day and go without meals.
Conference staff and volunteers are always behind the curtains making sure your experience is perfect. The next time you attend a well-run writing conference, take a moment to thank staff and volunteers for their devotion. They derve all the prai they can get becau without them, there would be no conference.

David Miles, an Australian inventor has been accud of cheating desperate farmers by charging up to $50,000 Australian dollars for delivering rain on demand without so much as explaining the technology behind his business.
On the official Miles Rearch website,Miles explains that in the 1990’s he realized that it
搜索英语was possible to influence weather patterns by creating a bridge between ‘the prent’ and a ‘near-future event’ in the physical space-time continuum. He found that by applying small amounts of energy intelligently, even a large, messy weather system approaching from the future could be ead.
While somewhat fascinating, Miles’ explanation does little to explain how he is able to bring rainfall to the lands of farmers. He makes references to famous but debatable concepts like “the butterfly effect”. “We were advid against patenting becau if basically exposing how it works, there will be a lot of big companies that invest in hunting out patents,” Miles said “I understand the doubts,the only other way is to fully prove up our science and physics. If we did that, we’ll lo it, it will be taken up as a national curity interest and it’ll then be weaponized.”
Miles’ claims raid suspicions for obvious reasons, including a since-deleted ction of his company website, which claimed that his technology ud “electromagnetic scalar waves”,which scientists say don’t even exist.一贴二低三靠
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission(ACCC)has warned people against doing business with him, but the Australian inventor claims the ACCC is only trying to defame him and his company, as in reality they are success bad—if it doesn’t rain, they don’t get paid.

Anything under half,we don’t want to be paid,” Miles said of a handful of Wimmera farmers who agreed to take him up on his offer to deliver rain.
Believe it or not, one of the farmers who paid David Miles for his so-called rain-making capabilities told ABC Radio that he was quite happy with the results.
