I recently asked my 10yo to set a timer and write for thirty minutes. If you'd have heard his "but MOM…" you'd have thought I was torturing him. He claimed he could not think of anything to write. Not one single thing. Um, okay? We chatted for a few minutes about brainstorming, story starters, and writing prompts. He requested a list of writing prompts to help him get started when he feels stuck. Of course, I was happy to supply him with a list of of 100 writing prompts for middle school students to spark the creative juices when he feels like the seconds are crawling by on the timer. No more excuses, right?
When I grow up I want to be a ….
I was most scared the one time….
I want to freeze because….
Being in middle school rocks because….
I'm most happy when I am….
After school, I prefer to spend my time….
The last time I laughed was when….
My best friend is a rock star because….
I admire my parents the most because….
My older sibling makes me laugh the most when he/she….

Walking in the woods makes me feel….
That one time I got lost….
Being a teenager is hard because….
I love it most when I can….
Knowing that volcano can erupt at any time….
Life is too short to worry about….
You're living in the middle of the 1600's, what's your life like?
Right now, you can get the 100 writing prompts for middle school students with writing response sheets printable free! You can either click on the cover page image to open the pdf, or on the underlined hyperlink.
Do you have a middle schooler that resists pouring their heart out on paper? I recommend snagging a copy of Unjournaling , too! All the writing prompts in this book are entirely impersonal but completely engaging—for both kids and adults.

Magnetic skyrmions created at room temperature - Could enable a completely unique type of memory
Andy Fell
An exotic, swirling object with the sci-fi name of a "magnetic skyrmion" could be the future of nanoelectronics and memory storage. Physicists at UC Davis and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have now succeeded in making magnetic skyrmions, formerly found at temperatures close to absolute zero, at room temperature.
"This is a potentially new way to store information, and the energy costs are expected to be extremely low," said Kai Liu, professor of physics at UC Davis and corresponding author of a paper on the work, published in the journal Nature Communications Oct. 8.

Guest Biography:
'The Lost Beach Boy'
D A V I D M A R K S
One of the founding members of
B E A C H B O Y S
E X C L U S I V E
At age 10, David received his first guitar for Christmas; he and Carl began studying with John Maus (later John Walker of the Walker Brothers) and developing their own electric guitar style, which caught the attention of Carl's oldest brother, budding composer Brian. David and Carl's rock 'n' roll guitar sound blended with Brian's complex harmonies to help create the signature sound of the Beach Boys.
Thirteen-year-old Marks officially joined The Beach Boys in February 1962 and became one of the five signatories on the band's recording contract with Capitol Records. He remained a member through October 1963, performing in over 100 concerts across the United States, appearing on national television, and playing rhythm guitar and singing on the band's first four albums, and on hits like "Surfin' Safari," "409," "Surfin' U.S.A.," "Shut Down," "Surfer Girl," "In My Room," and "Be True to Your School." While David's time in the band may be considered short, there's no denying the impact of the early years of the Beach Boys on their enduring and iconic legacy.
Leaving the Beach Boys gave David the freedom to focus on his own songwriting with a new band, David Marks & The Marksmen. One of the first bands to sign to Herb Alpert's A&M Records, The Marksmen packed concert venues up and down the state of California but ultimately disbanded in 1965 after a release on the Warner Brother's label.
Marks went on to record session-work for Murry Wilson's Sunrays. He also played with Casey Kasem's Band Without a Name, cult-classic psychedelic-pop bands The Moon and Colours, Delaney & Bonnie, and Warren Zevon. By age 21, he had been signed to five major record labels and had grown disillusioned with the Los Angeles music scene. In 1969, he relocated to Boston, where he studied jazz and classical guitar as a private student at the Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory. David went on to earn a reputation as a solid session guitarist without ever capitalizing on his previous association with the Beach Boys.
Through it all, however, he remained friends and stayed in contact with members of the Beach Boys, even appearing as a special guest from time to time. David rejoined the band in as a full-time member in 1997, when Carl Wilson, fighting cancer, was unable to continue touring with the group. Marks left the band for a second time in 1999 after being diagnosed with hepatitis C. Since his diagnosis, he has become a leader in the hepatitis C community, often appearing in the media to raise awareness of the disease.
In 2007, David co-wrote his autobiography, The Lost Beach Boy, with Beach Boys historian Jon Stebbins. The book is a frank account of his career with and without the Beach Boys, his health problems, his musical development, and his recovery and acceptance within the Beach Boys community.
The Beach Boys celebrated their 50th Anniversary in 2012 when David Marks joined Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Bruce Johnston on a 73-date World Tour. The highly anticipated reunion kicked-off at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards where they performed two classic hits: Surfer Girl (with Foster the People) and Good Vibrations (with Maroon 5). Their studio efforts led to the release of That's Why God Made The Radio on Capitol Record, marking the first Beach Boys album of new material since 1992; for their efforts, the album broke in at Number #2 on the Billboard charts. The band's subsequent world tour took America's Band on 73 shows on four continents and included appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon, Charlie Rose, Good Morning America, the Jools Holland Show, SMAP, and the Today Show Australia. The also sang the National Anthem on opening day of Dodger's Stadium, which was also marking its 50th season.
Post reunion, David and Al Jardine joined Brian Wilson for a short US Summer Tour, followed that fall with a subsequent North American tour which included Jeff Beck. The collaboration was voted the #3 tour of 2013 and landed Wilson, Jardine, Marks & Beck another slot on the Jimmy Fallon Show. David Marks also joined an illustrious group of artist who guested on Brian Wilson's 2015 solo release, No Pier Pressure – his guitar can be heard on the album's single, The Right Time, which charted #28 on the Billboard charts and #1 on BBC Radio Two, and David Marks toured as a part time member of Mike Love's Beach Boys from 2014 - 2016 and continues to perform with the Surf City All Stars and Dean Torrence of Jan & Dean. David's also returned to his roots as a session guitarist, playing on several albums by artists such as the Smithereens, the Surf City All Stars, Mod Hippie, Jez Graham, and Miami Dan.
On his own, Marks has also released two studio albums in the last five years: David Marks & Friends: Live on the Sunset Strip (with guests artists Marilyn Wilson-Rutherford of the Honeys and John Walker of the Walker Brothers) and Back in the Garage featuring Los A-Phonics, from Valencia, Spain, with whom he toured Spain in 2016.

Mennies vocalists salute veterans
Deborah M. Marko
@dmarko_dj
VINELAND - About 30 Mennies Elementary School vocalists visited N.J. Veterans Memorial Home to perform with heartfelt emotion and present a generous donation.
For the past 12 years, the school's Fine Arts Club, under the direction of music teacher Chris Hannah and instructional coach Nicole Sapello, compose a multimedia salute to the military to coincide with Veterans Day observances.
The popular patriotic concert, held at the West Grant Avenue school, is traditionally a standing-room-only sell out.
The fourth- and fifth-grade performers not only sing the praises of the military, they wanted local veterans to know their sacrifices are appreciated.
That sentiment prompted a recent crosstown field trip to take their "Tribute to American Veterans" show to the N.J. Veterans Memorial Home on North West Boulevard. The young performers were eager to share their talents with the veterans who weren't able to attend their school concert.
Arriving by school bus, the vocalists eagerly peeked into their concert venue while residents took the spots before the stage. Several students distributed handcrafted "thank you" cards to the veterans. Many noted "Heroes don't always wear capes."
Hannah noted the veterans' home visit was not only about a performance, it was a learning experience for the students. The students met face-to-face to thank the veterans in their community.
Appreciating the country's military personnel is something very dear to fifth-grader Angelina Ortiz.
There is a man serving in the U.S. Army she calls "Dad."
Angelina, bubbling with excitement, was looking forward to her solo and "thanking the veterans for their service."
"I feel emotional," said fifth-grader Angel Conde, who has "so many veterans in my family."
The highlight of this year's concert was the song "Keep Holding On" by Avril Lavigne.
Veteran Edward Mislin, a former Merchant Marine, often jokes with Navy veteran John Hamilton about which branch of the military is best. The good-natured debaters found common ground during the children's concert.
"Just stay strong 'cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you,'" the children sang to a hushed crowd.
"They bring a tear to my eye," Mislin said. Hamilton nodded.
The concert ended with appreciative applause.
But there was more to come.
Ten-year-old Kylee Reissek stepped forward to announce the students were giving the $500 they raised through their concert tickets sales to the veterans home activities fund.
Kylee's grandfather, Boris Reissek, is the CEO of the local veterans home. He dubbed the concert "perfect" and thanked the students for the gift.

Revolution in Philosophy
What Is a Revolutionary Organization?
Dennis Yao
September 21, 2021, 17:00
This talk explored the question, 'what is a revolutionary organization', starting from two basic premises. First, is that organizations can sense and respond to their environs. A capitalist firm senses and organizes production to chase surplus value. A State senses and organizes ways of neutralizing popular unrest. So, what does a revolutionary organization sense? The second premise is that organizations are compositional - they are made of smaller organizations. A capitalist firm is made of production processes, those processes are made of labour power and means of production, and underlying both are individuals who sell their labour (and whose lives are also composed of desires, needs, histories, etc.). At each level of composition, there is a different form of organization and a different environment. In what sense does a revolutionary organization intervene in this composition? Our provisional answer to these questions is that a revolutionary organization a) senses the contours of a different world already present in the existing order and b) develops its own composition such that the various fragments of this different world can function as a single ecosystem.
Dennis Yao is a software developer and philosopher who is interested in the intersection of political economy, political organizations and mathematics. He is part of a group studying these topics called the Subset of Theoretical Practice, and is also on the editorial committee of the journal Crisis and Critique. He is coauthor of the book Hegel, Lacan, Zizek.

Azerbaijan is reliable supplier of gas to Europe
15 January 2015 [14:18] - TODAY.AZ
By Aygun Badalova
Azerbaijan is a large and reliable supplier of oil, said the article published on the website of the US magazine The National Interest and dedicated to the Eurasian energy market and its competitiveness.
Azerbaijan will soon become a supplier of gas to Europe as well, according to the article, written by William Courtney, the former US ambassador to Georgia and Kazakhstan, Richard Kauzlarich, the former US ambassador to Azerbaijan and Kenneth Yalowitz, the former US ambassador to Belarus and Georgia.
The article also says that Eurasia is a hydrocarbon giant.
"Russia has the world's largest reserves of natural gas, and is in second place in coal and eighth in oil," according to the article. "Russia produces almost one fifth of global gas, and the second largest amount of oil, after Saudi Arabia. Nearly one third of oil and gas consumed in Europe comes from Russia."
At the same time, the article says Azerbaijan is a large and reliable supplier of oil in the hydrocarbon rich Caspian region.
"Kazakhstan's Tengiz field is the newest global "super-giant" to produce oil, Kashagan is the largest oil field outside of the Middle East, and Turkmenistan has the world's fourth-largest reserves of gas," the article said.
"Yet, the future of Eurasian energy is undermined by politics," the authors of the article said. "Russia relies on a state-controlled gas export monopoly, Gazprom."
"As markets become more competitive, Moscow should reconsider the use of energy as a political weapon," the authors said. "It severely undermines Russia's energy and economic interests."
"To prosper, the Eurasian energy sector must become more agile and efficient," said the article. "This means removing politics from more energy decision making, and being clear-eyed about changing market forces."

South Jersey Transportation Authority commissioners are to vote today on whether to increase tolls on the Atlantic City Expressway for the first time since 1968.
If the increase is approved by at least five of the commission's eight voting members, the current toll of $1.25 for the entire 45-mile length of the road will double, to $2.50, for drivers paying cash. Those using the E-Z Pass electronic toll collection system, expected to begin operating in November, would pay $1.63, and regular commuters who make at least 30 toll transactions a month would pay $1.20, said Peter Hartt, a spokesman for the authority.

This is a half hardy perennial, best grown as a half hardy annual. It is unusually lemon scented, with an open flower form. The plants are compact and bushy, ideal for beds, edging and planters.
Sow indoors from January to March. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow, 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings, 5cm apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Always handle by a leaf and never by the stem. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out, May-June, 20cm (8") apart, into well-drained soil, when frosts are over. Flowers from June to October.

Obituary for Olive Irene (Parkinson) Smith | Swan Valley Funeral Services Ltd.
On December 24, 2018, Olive Irene Smith of Swan River, Manitoba, formerly of Bowsman, Manitoba, passed away at the age of 97 with family members at her side. Olive was born on October 3, 1921 in Birch River, Manitoba to William and Martha Pearl Parkinson. She was educated at Drury School.
In 1942, Olive married Lynden Russell Smith. They lived in Bowsman for many years where Lyn was an elevator manager and Olive was a homemaker. They were blessed with four children; Irene who passed away in infancy, James (Jeanne) of Swan River, Patricia (Melvin) Davy of Birch River, and Cameron (Rachelle) of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Cameron was a high school English teacher and passed away at the age of 30 in a tragic car accident on his way to work in Treherne, Manitoba.
Olive was a dedicated wife and mother, devoting her time and energy to her family and home. She was an excellent cook and seamstress. Her garden was large and well kept. She preserved a lot of the vegetables that she grew. She lovingly babysat Shawna and Marla. All of her grandchildren loved her delicious cinnamon buns. She kept her house meticulously clean. She was the "quintessential domestic engineer".
Olive was talented and creative, playing the piano by 'ear' and drawing and painting like a true artist.
She found time for her church group. She loved to go dancing.
Among our many happy memories are those involving celebrating family Christmases at Mom and Dad's, where the house was beautifully decorated, and the meal was splendidly prepared and presented. We also enjoyed the gorgeous flowers in their garden during the summer time.
After Dad's passing in 1988, Olive married Gordon Dyer. As with Dad, she enjoyed playing cards, camping, and fishing with Gordon.
Mom had a good sense of humour. She displayed resilience in the face of adversity and loyalty to her family and friends. She was compassionate and generous to those in need.
Mom took great pride in her grandchildren; Shawna (Steve) Annear, Marla (Derek) Boychuk, Scott (Genie) Davy, Andree (Wade) Repta, and David Smith.
She was delighted by her great grandchildren; Riley, Jaime, and Jonas Annear; Samara and Jillian Boychuk; Olivia Davy; and Emelie Repta. She was also very interested in her nieces and nephews.
Olive is survived by her half-sister Carolynn and her half-brother Harvey Parkinson and many nieces and nephews.
She is predeceased by her parents William and Pearl; her infant daughter Irene; her husbands Lyn and Gordon; her son Cameron; and her brothers and sisters Cecil, Marjory, Vera, Dorothy, Chester (Joe), Arthur (Swede), Muriel, John and Adeline (Teeny).
We will greatly miss Mom, but we take comfort that she has rejoined her loved ones in Heaven.
An evening viewing was held on Wednesday, January 2, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. from the Chapel of Swan Valley Funeral Services. The funeral service was held on Thursday, January 3, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. also from the Chapel of Swan Valley Funeral Services with Pastor Ferlin Abrahamson officiating. Interment followed in the Bowsman Cemetery.
If friends so desire, donations in Olive's memory may be made to the Alzheimer Society.

Why Matt O'Connor was IRFU's public enemy No1
MATT O'CONNOR
Leo Cullen
Des Berry
IT is a poor state of affairs when Leinster Rugby bows to the opinion of their fans and commercial concerns instead of extensively canvassing the opinions of those who know best - the coaches and the senior players.
Matt O'Connor's back-up brigade of Leo Cullen, the forwards coach, Richie Murphy, the skills and kicking coach, and Marco Caputo, the scrum coach, were left outside the loop of opinions on the best way forward for Leinster Rugby.
Three-time Heineken Cup winning captain Cullen has been part of the furniture at the province since 1995 and would have been a strong research resource.
The players were informed of the Leinster Professional Games Board decision yesterday morning and are known to be upset by the ending of O'Connor's tenure.
The decision is stunningly short-sighted in terms of the road ahead for the new headman with Cullen taking over the mantle of interim coach.
The answer to the problem is unlikely to lie within, just yet.
Cullen is one year into his apprenticeship as a forwards coach.
Murphy will be an assistant at the Word Cup with Ireland.
Underneath them, Girvan Dempsey has just dipped his toes into his role as The Academy Manager.
In other words, the new coach will have to enter into an environment in which Leinster could be without anything up to 20 players for pre-season and the length of the World Cup.
Even Joe Schmidt's methods took time to work. He lost three out of his first four in September 2010.
The retention of O'Connor would have left in place a man well-aware of all the players in the system and motivated to make his third season at least as successful as his first.
Leinster have left it very late in the day to search out a first-class coach, who can assess, evaluate and influence a list of players unknown to him.
There is also the criticism from O'Connor on how he had his hands tied by the IRFU's Player Welfare Programme in which Ireland's internationals are limited to 640 minutes in the blue jersey rather than eight games.
It is difficult to build continuity and progress on the back of change and a rotating selection policy.
For instance, Leinster new signing Ben Te'o has had to deal with a number of centre partners as he has continued the transition from League to Union.
"I've found the way things are set up here it's quite different," he said last week.
"I came into the team and then you've guys disappearing for Six Nations.
"Then you've got guys coming back with bumps and bruises, Europe, Pro12, you're resting guys - 'he can't play, because he's played too much' or 'he's injured'.
"It's always the team chopping and changing," he said.
"Here, sometimes we go from one forward pack to a whole new one. I found that interesting, but that's just rugby and you have to juggle these players and their loads."
This sort of player limitation and interference comes with the territory. Schmidt had to cope with it. O'Connor too.
The question is: will a coach in demand around the world want to work under those restrictions?
Schmidt came to Leinster as an assistant coach. He had to live with the restrictions placed on him and work within the system.
O'Connor came as a head coach. His typical, understandable Australian stubbornness meant he wasn't as willing to play the game behind closed doors.
He became the IRFU's very public enemy number one and that was his downfall.
Contenders to be next Blues boss
THERE is a school of thought that Matt O'Connor paid the price for his convivial nature, that Leinster need an authoritarian figure to drive the environment.
The winning culture that has been built on the back of years of heartbreak is beginning to grow thin with those who remain.
Brian O'Driscoll and Leo Cullen finished last year; Gordon D'Arcy and Shane Jennings this year.
There must be a general feeling of responsibility among the current players that they have failed O'Connor.
The fact is Leinster, the brand, has to be carried forward by the next generation of players, who have not had to suffer the slings of 'ladyboys', the arrows of 'chokers'.
The next man in the door might have to bring 'the fear factor' and the intensity of the two men who made Leinster – Michael Cheika and Joe Schmidt.
Here is a list of four outstanding candidates.
1 ROBBIE DEANS
THE former Wallaby coach now resides in Japan where he coaches the Panasonic Wild Knights.
Robbie Deans
He oversaw the Canterbury Crusaders unbeaten Super Rugby season in 2002 and coached Australia for five years until The Lions series in 2013.
2 EWEN McKENZIE
Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie looks on in the post match press conference where he anounced his resignation as Wallabies coach at the end of the Rugby Championship match against the New Zealand All Blacks. Photo credit: Ian Hitchcock/Getty Images
THE other former Wallaby coach left his post last year in controversial, even scandalous circumstances and is not currently working as a coach.
He earned a shot at the top job by brilliantly guiding Queensland Reds to the Super Rugby title in 2011.
3 ALEX KING
Alex King in action for Wasps during his playing days
THE ex-Wasps and England out-half spent three seasons working with Schmidt at Clermont-Auvergne.
Since then, King has moved to Northampton Saints as their backs coach where he has extended his contract to the summer of 2016/2017.
4 WAYNE SMITH

THE Waikato Chiefs assistant coach is revered throughout the world.
He was a central figure in New Zealand's 2011 World Cup win and in The Chiefs back-to-back Super Rugby titles in 2012 and 2013.

Q: Highstocks how to use hidden navigator with async loading Consider the Highstocks async data loading example. I want to hide the preview and show just the scroll bar. So I set enabled to false in the chart configuration:
navigator: {
    enabled: false,
    adaptToUpdatedData: false,
    ...

This will cause the adaptToUpdatedData option not to work as described, i.e., when zooming the width of the scroll bar will be always 100%. Is it possible to keep the same behavior of the demo while hiding the preview?

A: You could visually hide all the elements of the navigator instead of disabling it.
For example (JSFiddle):
$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {
    navigator : {
        adaptToUpdatedData: false,
        height: 0,
        handles: {
            backgroundColor: 'transparent',
            borderColor: 'transparent'
        },
        series : {
            data : data
        },
        xAxis: {
            labels: {
                enabled: false
            }
        }
    }
    // ...
});

You might notice that the cursor still changes where the handles would be. If you want to get rid of this you could prevent the drawing of the handles all together.
For example (JSFiddle):
(function (H) {
    H.wrap(H.Scroller.prototype, 'drawHandle', function (proceed, x, index) {
    });
}(Highcharts));

$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {
    navigator : {
        adaptToUpdatedData: false,
        height: 0,
        series : {
            data : data
        },
        xAxis: {
            labels: {
                enabled: false
            }
        }
    }
    // ...
});

This is an idea I have for a series where I show a random set of units and then talk about how I'd approach the set, explaining my thought process as best I can. If people like it I can do one every Saturday. Since set reading involves drawing on many different strategic concepts, I won't be able to go as in-depth as my other guides, and I may bring up ideas I haven't written full posts for yet. Also, no guarantee that the way I would play the set is the absolute best way to play the set – I lose plenty of games after all.
With all that out of the way, let's get into the set. Although knowing which player you are isn't too important for set reading, we'll be thinking about it from the perspective of player 2.
When you first look at a set, you want to scan it for high impact units. Specifically, I recommend looking for absorbers first – unless you are going breachproof, you're always going to want an absorber, and it's usually correct to go for the best absorber in the set. Not only that, but the strength of the absorber is the biggest factor in determining what economy you want.
In this set, there are two absorbers (Xeno Guardian and Energy Matrix). Energy Matrix is the better absorber, so at a glance I'm thinking this will be a high economy set where I'll get two Blastforges for Energy Matrix.
Now that I've got a bare bones idea for a strategy – high economy with Energy Matrix – I'll look to see if there's anything that could invalidate that strategy. There's Gauss Fabricator, which can be good for breachproof strategies, but it would need more support for breachproof to be viable. The only support for Gauss Fabricator is Cryo Ray (and, arguably, Iceblade Golem) but I don't think that's enough to beat a high econ Energy Matrix strategy. So, now that I've confirmed there aren't any counter strategies to worry about, I'm confident that I'll be going for the high econ Energy Matrix strategy.
Since I've decided on the high econ E-Matrix strategy, it's time to flesh it out a bit. We know the economy size and part of our tech – we'll want two Blastforges. A high economy can afford more tech than just two Blastforges, though. Since we already have defense sorted, the remainder of our tech can be for making attackers. Here, Gauss Fabricator jumps out. I said earlier that it can be good for breachproof, but it can also be good just as a way of making attack. It's good to think of Gauss Fabricator as an economic unit – it's like making 6 Drones and a Conduit that then make a Gauss Cannon every turn (and then disappears after 8 turns). Because it's an economic unit that makes attackers, if you're going to buy Gauss Fabricator, it's best to buy it when you're transitioning from making economy to making attack. There's nothing else in the set that is particularly good for making up the bulk of your attack, so we can safely add Gauss Fabricator to our strategy.
So now we're looking at a high economy build with two Blastforges and two to three Conduits to get the Gauss Fabricator. We're thinking of going up to around 20 Drones, which means that we have room for more tech (For example, one Grenade Mech and three Cryo Rays costs 13 Gold to spend). An Animus seems like it would be an over-commitment to attack, since we're already planning on getting Gauss Fabricator. So I would plan on getting a third Blastforge. Grenade Mech goes well with Cryo Ray, since you can often exploit your opponent's defense, so my plan would be three Blastforges and three Conduits, getting Gauss Fabricator first and Grenade Mechs and Cryo Rays later.
It's important to note that even though the Blastforges were the first tech buildings we included in our strategy, that doesn't mean those should be the first tech buildings you make. You should put off making Blastforges until your opponent has attack coming in. Blastforges are primarily good for making defense, so if you make them before your opponent has attack, they often have nothing to do. So, assuming our opponent also goes for third Engineer, our plan will be something like the following: 1. DD 2. DDE 3. DDDC 4. DDCC 5. 2D.
After this, we can get our Blastforges up while adding on a few more Drones, and be in good shape for the midgame.
If our opponent stays on two Engineers, I would still go for Third Engineer, but I'd adjust my build to get a Blastforge out sooner (assuming they were going for faster attack).
This isn't the only way to play the set – for example, I think there's a chance that a build that included an Animus could be good – but it's how I'd play it.
I like this serie 😉 Thanks for this blog btw so far it's great to read these articles.


In the world of pop spirituality, the cult of failure is often the cult of success in disguise. For Christians, "embracing failure" is a radically different experience.
Backed by groundbreaking clinical research, Columbia psychologist Lisa Miller is proposing a new vision of parenting that makes nurturing "natural spirituality" the first priority for a child's mental health and happiness. Could her work spark the next religious awakening?
Unlike the wildly popular mindfulness app called Headspace, Christianity can't be packaged, promoted, or marketed. It's already every human being's birthright.
Mindfulness is not spirituality. It's a practice based on neuroscience that anyone—religious or not—can use to quiet the mind and reduce anxiety and depression.
Positive psychology helps us to see that the Christian way in its fullness, even in its sacrifices for love, is a path to happiness, fulfillment, and joy.
In Lost in the Cosmos: the Last Self-Help Book, Catholic novelist Walker Percy explained, scientifically, why each of us is homeless, and how we can learn to be at home with our homelessness.
I feel closest to God when I'm suffering. But the challenge for me now is to see God and live out my vocation in health and yes, even happiness.

10. Portico of the Infirmary
Designed starting 1456 by Filarete (Antonio Averlino, 1400 – 1469), who conceived a series of sculptures in marble, stone and terracotta, the portico has conserved the original chromatic suggestions notwithstanding the fact that it underwent numerous changes even during the construction phase. The lower part of the façade up to the stringcourse storey demarcation can be attributed to the Tuscan architect. The basement hosted shops, stores and caneve or cellars. Along the portico were wooden lodges where surgeons and barbers operated and medicated the sick whose ailments did not solicit hospitalisation.
The portico featuring 29 rounded-arches that joined the Crossing was constructed between 1458 and 1462 by Lombardy craftsmen. In the arches' intradoses, fragments of frescoed decorations – rhombuses and tondos – were brought to light. The terracotta arches were provided by Filarete himself who also made the decorative arch-shaped bands and the large and small tondos (1461). An arcade, not the central one, was designated as a vestibule of the mastra, or principal, gate and of the infirmary. To access it, a wide staircase was built, albeit with little practical sense.
According to Filarete – who was probably the author of the haut relief tondo depicting Francesco Sforza – it was Vincenzo Foppa who made the fresco on the portico with the scene depicting the laying of the cornerstone, while the Humanist Francesco Filelfo and the courtesan Tommaso da Rieti were the author of the epigrams still visible at the entrances of the Crossing. The upper floor was the work of the Lombard Boniforte Solari (1429 ca. – 1481 ca.), an engineer at the Fabbrica del Duomo, while the brother Francesco (1420 ca. – 1469) designed the 18 finely decorated balconies (1467). In 1597, the entire portico façade was shut with metal gratings, which gave to the corridor the name of Portico delle inferriate. In 1648, the central staircase was replaced by side ramps, which were entirely dismantled at the end of the century when access to the infirmary was ensured from the Central Courtyard (1686).

No matter how many times I fly, I always lean toward the window to scope out the city as we land. I'm surprised everyone on the plane doesn't do this. (Where is your sense of childlike wonder, people? You can't buy it in Sky Mall.) Despite my superhuman LASIK vision or how far I leaned into the personal space of the occupant of the window seat next me, all I could see was white. Plain, solid, white. I started to wonder if we'd died mid-flight and were now soaring through the afterlife without knowing it. But no! About 20 seconds before we touched down the fog we'd been flying through cleared enough that I could see the ground.
I took a shared van into the city and couldn't see the skyline at all, which would have been a huge disappointment if this had been my first trip to New York. Fortunately, I was too distracted trying to check into JFK airport on Foursquare to pay much attention anyway. I used NYAirportService.com to book a shared van into the city. They apparently book the reservation through Go Airlink Shuttle, which was sort of confusing because I wasn't sure what color the van I was supposed to be looking for would be or how to find this van. When I got off the plane I had to find a panel of telephones in the Ground Transportation area, pick up one of the phones, and figure out the right number to dial to talk to someone from the correct shuttle service who would dispatch the van to my terminal, the name of which I did not immediately know. So, basically this was a complicated puzzle game and one of the reasons I will never, ever compete on The Amazing Race, because traveling STRESSES ME OUT. It's hard enough to do this in English in America, let alone in a foreign country where my only way to communicate would wild gesticulations. After the shared van took me on a one-hour tour of other people's hotels, I finally got off at Penn Station and took a Metro to the cats' apartment. If I had to do it again, I'd probably pay the extra $5 or $10 for the drive to drop me directly at the apartment, though I did get to see a few fun things on the drive. We drove past the Simon & Schuster building, so I got to wave in the general direction of my publicist. And driving through Times Square on a cloudy day made it seem particularly bright and flashy.
Once I arrived at the apartment (that had a doorman, which made me feel fancy) Jasper and Zoey's person gave me a Kitty Care 101 lesson. Then we went out for Italian food. (The humans. Not the kitties.) The first restaurant we went to was hosting a 13-year-old girl's birthday party, so we told them to have fun with that and went to another Italian place a few blocks away, which is something you can do in big cities like New York. There's food on every corner!
Now that I'd arrived at one of the major tourist destinations in the world, I decided the first thing to do was…work for two days straight on a sunny weekend! Because that's how I roll: over. I rollover for my clients. This actually wasn't as bad as it sounds for two reasons.
1) I got an insane amount of work done.
I'm not sure why "getting stuff done" is such a high, but I can't imagine that cocaine makes you feel any better than answering all your emails and designing a complete web site in one day does. I think dopamine is involved, and boy is it good!
I also had access to cable, so I watched listened to the latest Star Trek movie and The Fugitive twice. I'd forgotten how often cable channels rerun movies and how easy it is to get sucked into their pull even when you've seen them so many times you don't have to watch the screen to know what's going on.
Instead of staying in a hotel and rushing off to do touristy things right away, I was living in an apartment working like I do at home. I also had 10 days in the city, so there wasn't a huge rush to see and do everything as soon as possible. This made the vibe totally different from other vacations I've taken. I was staying in someone else's apartment using someone else's Metro card living someone else's life. But I got to go back home a week later, which was great because I got to experience change without actually having to change. And what did I discover?
I quickly became smitten with delivery food service. Using GrubHub I could order any kind of food I wanted late into the night. French toast at midnight? No problem! Then a daring delivery man would risk his life biking through the streets of New York to bring that food right to my door. It was awesome! I can get some food delivered to my apartment in Chapel Hill, like pizza or Jimmy John's, but not the wide variety of stuff available in New York.
I know, I know, some of you are rolling your eyes and thinking I should have gone out into the city every night. But when you live in chronic pain you only have so much energy to spend in a day, and I didn't always feel like trekking out into the urban wilderness to hunt and gather. I was also charmed by how the delivery food was packaged. No matter what restaurant I ordered from, the food arrived in metal pans with plastic lids wrapped in paper bags which were in turn placed in plastic bags. Only a tourist like me could find this exotic and enticing. I also earned a $10 coupon on GrubHub after I placed several orders, which made delivery food even more fun! I highly recommend the gyro at Telio's.
It's probably best that GrubHub is not available to me in Chapel Hill or else I'd never leave my apartment and all my muscles would atrophy except for the ones in my mouse hand.
No matter where in the world you travel, the grocery story is always a little bit weird, isn't it? It's never quite like the grocery store at home. For instance, the Harris-Teeter around here does not have an escalator, unlike the Food Emporium and the Gristedes stores I visited. The aisles are very close together because real estate is so expensive. They also don't stock every product ever created like the superstores around here, so I wasn't able to find the caffeine-free Diet Dr. Pepper that I prefer. Horrors! You could get a "litter" of soda though, though it wasn't in the kitty litter section.
You know, just in case you wanted to get $70 of tampons. I'm used to the labels going the other way and letting you know how much a single tampon would cost, not 100 tampons.
Grocery shopping was much more of a pain, literally, because I had to carry whatever I bought several blocks up and up an elevator. I'm used to shuttling it out of the store in a cart, unloading it into the trunk of my car, and then the farthest I have to carry it is up one flight of stairs and through my apartment to the kitchen. This situation discouraged me from buying too much stuff at once, and definitely not much heavy stuff, so no matter how frequently I shopped I ran out of things pretty quickly.
Ultimately, any convenience I gained in terms of delivery food was paid for by inconvenience in my grocery shopping.
Otherwise, living in New York for a week wasn't all that different from living anywhere else I lived. It was nosier noisier, but it wasn't as intimidating as I thought it might be.
I first visited New York on a band trip seventeen years ago. I'm sure about that date because it was the week of the Oklahoma City bombings, a news story I COMPLETELY MISSED because this was before Twitter, and Facebook, and everything being in your face all the time, and because I was a teenager who didn't watch the news anyway. I didn't know what had happened until many days later when I was flipping through the TV channels (because this was when you had to flip through channels to figure out what was on instead of referring to a magical onscreen guide).
When I visited New York that time I was convinced everyone was a thief who wanted to steal my money, so I stuffed all my dollar bills in my shoes. The city was very big and overwhelming and I let the adults usher me around everywhere. The second time I came to New York was with my mom after I graduated college. The trip was her gift to me for finally getting a degree and for no longer sitting around her house unemployed and watching lots of anime on Cartoon Network. The city was still big and overwhelming, but ultimately I realized it was just made up of individual people and I could handle dealing with individual people, so perhaps it wasn't so scary after all.
The third and fourth times I visited New York were for book promotions, so they were brief but exciting. After that I went to Europe and attended various conferences and gatherings around the country, which forced me to learn how subway maps worked, how to hail a cab, and basically get around the world. So here, now, on my fifth time visiting New York, the city did not seem very scary at all. I did not stuff money in my shoe once.
The city hasn't changed as much as I have.
Coming soon: Actual seeing of sights and lots of walking!
Earlier: Intrepid tales of New York, coming soon!
Glad you enjoyed your NYC stay! Those must be sophisticated urban cats. It's funny because I grew up on Long Island and have lived in Queens for the last 14 years, but while I work in Manhattan, I've never actually lived in Manhattan (I like escaping at night). I'm looking forward to hearing about the rest of your trip.
BTW, should you ever get to cat-sit in Queens, we don't have GrubHub, but we have the similarly-enticing Takeout Connection.
Great information! Funny how we (or at least I do) take for granted the superstores where you can buy $100 tampons and lots of stuff in bulk and load it all in the minivan home.
We're driving to NY in the summer but I'm not so sure how much driving we'll actually be doing.
Fabulous post! Posts like this are why I never miss updates at your blog. I love the way you mix humour, observation and self-insight, and I thank you for sharing it with your readers.
As Margaret S. said, you are a delightful writer. How cool is it that you got to compare different experiences of NYC!

Challenging, thought-provoking and infinitely fascinating are all words you can associate with great nonlinear films as this selection, which includes Memento, Citizen Kane and The Sweet Hereafter, proves.
Renowned director Andrei Tarkovsky once called filmmaking the art of "sculpting in time", poetically capturing the temporal malleability of cinema. Unlike everyday life, film can traverse or manipulate time as it wishes, but not all films do so successfully. A good nonlinear narrative must ensure that it does not lose the audience while justifying its structure. At its best, a nonlinear film demands the viewer to piece the story together and, in doing so, gain a richer understanding of it. Here are ten films, some classics and some personal favorites, which epitomize the strengths of a nonlinear film narrative.
When Iñárritu made Babel, he was no stranger to nonlinear storytelling. His earlier films Amores Perros and 21 Grams, the first two films of his Death Trilogy, are also nonlinear narratives that intertwine multiple storylines connected by a single event. In Babel, that unifying event is a gunshot that sends ripples around the world. This film strikes me as the strongest of the Death Trilogy not only because Iñárritu uses the nonlinear structure with intent and restraint (the contribution of screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga must not be dismissed), but also because the film reflects the tender and quiet moments of grief. In a world built upon fragments, as the title Babel suggests, the film finds the sorrow that haunts us regardless of time and space.
Perhaps the least complex but most relatable film on this list, Blue Valentine juxtaposes the sweetness of two lovers dating with the animosity of their marriage collapsing years later. Derek Cianfrance does an excellent job transitioning between these emotions and blending them into a single experience. The two lovers, played impeccably well by Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, singing and dancing blissfully had me smiling, but the imminent pain is always simmering underneath. More importantly, Cianfrance suggests that there is no clear incident that marks the downturn of their relationship. When the man asks the woman how he should change, she replies in tears, "I don't know." Some may consider that an unsatisfactory answer, but therein lies the agony. The honest answer is not always satisfactory.
I often feel that people are overly inclined to criticize Citizen Kane simply because it was once crowned the greatest film ever. Although I agree that it does not deserve that title (frankly, does any film deserve it?), Citizen Kane should still be appreciated for its strengths, particularly its nonlinear structure. Unlike most nonlinear films, Citizen Kane is not primarily concerned with the nature of memory or time. Instead, it addresses what constitutes a person's life. The film's flashbacks are merely fragments of Kane's life story. Those who knew Kane can continue their flashbacks, but they will never fully understand him. The discovery of what "Rosebud" is reinforces the fact that Kane's life is beyond everyone's grasp, in turn lamenting that our lives are just as enigmatic to those around us.
Charlie Kaufman, the writer of Eternal Sunshine, is known for his unique mind. Sometimes, it leads to unfathomable experiences that polarize audiences (think of films such as Synecdoche, New York), but that is not the case with Eternal Sunshine. Kaufman's creative prowess and Gondry's heartfelt direction are indispensable parts of the film. We begin at the low point of the protagonist Joel's life and see his memories in reverse, gradually finding the joy that had been forgotten amidst the quarrels. There is also the chronological storyline outside of Joel's mind, wherein supporting characters are equally burdened by the past. Do not be thrown off by the philosophical and narrative complexities. Eternal Sunshine is a bittersweet exploration of romance and memory, one that moves the heart as much as it challenges the mind.
It is difficult to watch a nonlinear film concerning memory and not think of Hiroshima Mon Amour. Alain Resnais' astounding work simply follows two people in conversation, interwoven with flashbacks into the unnamed female's past. The flashbacks bring her memories to life, but they also question what she actually remembers. Through revisiting the tragedies of love and war, Resnais conveys the painful inevitability of forgetting. Look at the lauded opening sequence as an example. When the female lead visits a museum in Hiroshima, we see through her eyes, as though collectively remembering the horrors of the atomic bomb. But the man says, "You saw nothing in Hiroshima. Nothing." He is right. We see the past and yet the past eludes us. This struggle between remembering and forgetting is what defines the film's well-earned legacy.
Before Christopher Nolan became the superstar director he is today, he needed a film to seize the attention of Hollywood. That film was Memento, a skillfully and intelligently crafted thriller that owes much of its tension to its nonlinear structure. By going back in time episodically, Nolan puts the audience in Leonard's shoes, a man unable to form new memories. Just like Leonard, we are oblivious to what happened before a particular moment. However, that is not the only manipulation of time involved. Nolan intersperses this reverse narrative with a chronological one in black and white. The convergence of the storylines produces a shocking revelation that shakes the notion of memory to its core. Few films manage to thrill and provoke thought simultaneously, showing why Memento promised a fascinating director on the rise.
I should make a disclaimer: I am not too fond of Pulp Fiction. I find its dark humor and nonlinear structure entertaining but hollow. Some would argue that the film is not trying to be anything more, but I would counter-argue that it should not have limited itself. That said, the film's enduring impact aesthetically and culturally makes it impossible for me to keep it off this list. Although many films similarly feature an abundance of characters and juggling of time, the energy and wryness of Pulp Fiction is unparalleled till this day. Moreover, the film's postmodern qualities have cemented its status within academia. All these unique characteristics are what give Tarantino films their unquestionably distinctive mark.
In constructing this list, I found that the nature of memory is a recurring theme in nonlinear films. What distinguishes Rashomon is that it pushes the fallibility of memory to its extreme, crafting one of the earliest films involving an unreliable narrator. Rashomon is the tale of four contradictory accounts of the same crime. Furthermore, three of these flashbacks are nested in a flashback to the trial of the crime. The question of who to trust pervades the film, but the more profound question that Kurosawa asks is why the truth evades us. Building upon that, Rashomon incisively examines the implications of morality and human impulses. By the end, knowing the truth matters less to us than knowing why people perceive the truth differently.
If you think that all nonlinear films are built upon flashbacks and reverse chronology, then Run Lola Run will surprise you. Envision this scenario: Lola's boyfriend needs 100,000 Deutschmarks within 20 minutes or else he dies. What does Lola do? The film shows three possible solutions, each one maintaining the energy and thrills of the one preceding it. The classic debate of free will vs determinism is at the film's core, asking the audience to contemplate how much Lola actually controls. Indeed, I would have liked for the commentary to be more layered, but perhaps I am unjustly comparing it to the countless films on a similar subject. Unlike those philosophical works, Run Lola Run has no time to be pensive. It must keep on running and it excels in that regard.
No matter how I phrase my thoughts, words seem incomparable to the emotional depth of this film. In a sense, The Sweet Hereafter is rather simple. It recounts a school bus accident in a small town and a lawyer's attempt to fight for the grieving parents. It intercuts among three timelines to build towards the inevitable accident, capture the present loss, and show the lawyer's personal troubles a few years later. However, this summary does not do the film justice. The Sweet Hereafter is a heartbreaking and nuanced reflection on the universality of broken lives, led by the poetic direction of Atom Egoyan and the powerful Ian Holm as the lawyer. If one is seeking a grim but rewarding experience, The Sweet Hereafter can provide that and much more.
Over to you: what are your fave nonlinear films?
Really fascinating topic. And as usual, exquisitely written and researched.
I've yet to see Run Lola Run. I tried to after I saw her in Bourne Identity but just never got around to it.
The Sweet Hereafter is a devastating film and the Canadian winter and landscape gives it a dire feeling and realism to it.
If I could add one it would Usual Suspects, which takes liberties with the audience but turns out to be a masterpiece.
I saw Adrift on the weekend and it too is a fantastic non linear film .
As usual you've found a theme that possesses some truly exceptional films including Pulp Fiction which I guess I like a little bit more than you.
What I like about Babel is how the film brings together its thematic framing with a collection of stories with very different settings. It's worth praising Iñárritu for not taking liberties (something highlighted by his entire body of work) and pandering to the commercial value of simplifying for a mainstream audience.
Not necessarily worthy of omitting any of your choices, another film that comes to mind that utilises a nonlinear narrative really well is Steven Soderbergh's The Limey. In fact Soderbergh has used it a few times to good effect. I liked Doug Liman's Go too.
Really good choices. Some great films here. I like how Tarantino messes with time – ie. Reservoir Dogs taking place after the event but I agree with you somewhat that his work, like Pulp Fiction, is a little overrated. He himself admits he's not the most original filmmaker.
Run Lola Run and The Sweet Hereafter are two fantastic choices – very different films but the way they play around with time are such effective ways to tell a story (without just being a stylistic indulgence).
Although I'm not a huge fan of the film, Irreversible is another that springs to mind.
Thanks for including The Sweet Hereafter – an underrated film.
Good list. Nice to see Blue Valentine mentioned and I love Run Lola Run.

Coyote Brett MacLean announced earlier today that he will be forced to go into retirement after an unknown heart condition caused him to collapse onto the ice and go into cardiac arrest while playing a game in a Owen Sound, Ontario arena this offseason.
Originally drafted in 2007, the Port Elgin, Ontario native wouldn't see ice time with the Phoenix Coyotes until late 2010. Scoring his first NHL goal in his first NHL game, MacLean would go on to add an additional goal and assist during his time with the Phoenix franchise. Having been placed on waivers by Phoenix in October, the 23-year-old left wing had a brief stint in Winnipeg with the Jets where he only managed two points in five outings. Finding himself on the wire again, the Coyotes claimed MacLean, assigning him to the club's AHL affiliates, the Portland Pirates. In his final season, Brett MacLean appeared in 63 games with the Pirates scoring 25 goals and 48 points.
Brett MacLean will now turn his attention to school in hopes of one day returning to the sport from the business side of the game, in addition to working with the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada who he reached out to while in the hospital. Brett MacLean would finish his professional hockey career with 329 games, 101 goals and 208 points under his belt.

I remember the Matrix reminding me of Plato's allegory of the cave, but I don't think I caught the Christian references. Maybe it's time I watched that movie again!
I'd be looking forward to that if I were you!

Fortunately, the wound was not fatal
by Natalie Ma
After missing her train in Shenzhen, a woman evidently did not handle it well, stabbing a railway station worker in the back.
The incident occurred at 2:47 pm on Tuesday in the Shenzhen North Railway Station. The woman's exact motive for directing her anger at the worker is unclear.
Video footage from the scene shows the victim, a 27-year-old woman surnamed Liu, kneeling on the ground with blood staining the back of her white shirt while a coworker puts pressure on the wound and screams for help.
Liu was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Her injury is reported to be not life-threatening.
Meanwhile, the attacker, a 23-year-old woman surnamed Luo, was quickly apprehended by security. Police are currently investigating the case, particularly in regards to how the woman managed to make it past the security checkpoint with a knife.
