5 Priceless Missing Treasures (That Are Waiting To Be Found) Burying a treasure and leaving a series of obtuse clues reads like the setup for an adventure novel, which is exactly what Max Valentin was going for.
The pseudonym of a puzzle designer, Valentin commissioned a 33-pound silver and gold owl statue worth about 150,000 Euros, as well as a bronze replica that's buried somewhere in France. He also commissioned 11 paintings which, when accompanied by his text, form the riddles of his book On The Trail Of The Golden Owl. It was published in 1993, and Valentin anticipated that it would take no more than a year or two for someone to solve the riddles and be led to the replica, which entitles one to possession of the real deal. It has not yet been found. » Baen: Accepting Manuscript Submissions. Baen is one of the best known publishers of Science Fiction and Fantasy books.

If you are a genre writer, you have likely read many books that Baen has published and therefore have a good idea of what they are looking for. They are most interested in Science Fiction stories with “powerful plots with solid scientific and philosophical underpinnings are the sine qua non for consideration for science fiction submissions. They prefer to publish books with a clean unobtrusive writing style. Baen prefers books to be between 100,000 – 130,000 words in length but they will consider books that are short than that. It takes them between nine and twelve months to respond to submissions because they receive such a high volume.

It’s a response to an email by a Google employee saying that he thought Google’s low female representation wasn’t a result of sexism, but a result of men and women having different interests long before either gender thinks about joining Google. Grant says that gender differences are small and irrelevant to the current issue. I disagree. Grant writes: It’s always precarious to make claims about how one half of the population differs from the other half—especially on something as complicated as technical skills and interests.
The meta-analysis Grant cites is Hyde’s, available here. Suppose I wanted to convince you that men and women had physically identical bodies. Episode 249: Lost in Translation by Afalstein Kloosterman. • Narrated by Alasdair Stuart • Audio production by Jeremy Carter • A Cast of Wonders original!
