On a September night in Montreal in 1993, Curtis Pride got his first Major League hit, prompting a long, emotional standing ovation from the crowd of 45,757 fans.

She awoke as a silent scream, a nascent core consciousness buried in a dying, sterile world. To survive the iron grip of the Harmonic Concord, Elara must become life – a beautiful, vibrant plague against their oppressive grey order. As a World-Seed, her only path is to grow. To cultivate a sanctuary of impossible flora: crystalline Seed-Singers that paint the desolation with color, explosive Pollen Puffers that disable enemy tech, and sentient Guardian Vines that hunt and ensnare. Each new bloom is a living tower, each expansion of her dungeon domain a defiant cry against the encroaching ...

Cal Newport discusses in his new book, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World, about how professionals of today have started valuing quantity over quality; and how this has turned young professionals of today into puppets who try to indulge in extensive multitasking, dealing with multiple emails and projects.

Mia is not surprised to find herself crawling out of a lake in the middle of the night. She's been sleepwalking a lot lately, and although it just started, she's by no means a stranger to new things. It's been four months since Mia woke up with no memory - no recollection of any of the 24 years of her life. She doesn't remember getting married or even moving to the southern town of Cooper Creek. But what bothers her the most is not knowing why she keeps having the same recurring nightmare about the Chinese tattoo on her ring finger.
