# The Things (short story)

"The Things" is a science fiction short story by Peter Watts, revisiting the universe of John Carpenter's 1982 film The Thing (derived itself from John W. Campbell's story "Who Goes There?") from the viewpoint of the titular alien. It was first published on Clarkesworld, in January 2010.

## Synopsis

The events of The Thing as well as other happenings are told from the perspective of the alien, a shape-shifting sentient biomass that can absorb and imitate other lifeforms. The alien thinks of itself as an "explorer, an ambassador, a missionary" of the biomass it consists of, the primary instinct of which is to "commune", i.e. absorb and matriculate on a cellular level with other biologies. Confused, damaged, and unfamiliar with earthly fauna, the alien eventually learns the horrifying secret of man: Humans are individuals, "thinking cancers" who do not want to be assimilated and therefore seek to repel and even destroy it, unlike all other lifeforms it has encountered across the universe. The alien realizes that humans will not ever be able to understand its offerings and concludes that violent integration is the only way to save humanity from its isolation as individuals.

## Reception

The Things won the 2011 Shirley Jackson Award for Best Short Story, and was a finalist for the 2011 Hugo Award for Best Short Story, the 2011 Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, and the 2011 BSFA Award for Best Short Fiction. The audio version was a finalist for the 2010 Parsec Award for short fiction.
Wired called it "not only a startlingly effective portrayal of alien psychology, but also a thoughtful exploration of religion and the missionary impulse." Publishers Weekly called it a depiction of "blindly expansionist colonialism".
Watts has reported being told by Simon Pegg that many members of the 1982 film's cast and crew enjoyed the story.
At Io9, Annalee Newitz praised it for "successfully represent(ing) a truly alien point of view", and called it "mind-bending". Gardner Dozois similarly lauded Watts for his "excellent job of showing a totally alien way of looking at life", but noted that people who (like him) were more familiar with the 1951 film than with the 1982 remake "may be a little confused".
Chad Orzel was considerably more negative, calling it "far from impressive", with "two main weaknesses forced on the story by the basic concept": the extent to which it requires familiarity with the 1982 film, and Watts' effort to "basically retcon the goofy biology of the movie alien, which was based on the goofy biology of a John Campbell short story from the pulp magazine era."
# Seeker (McDevitt novel)

Seeker is a 2005 science fiction novel by American writer Jack McDevitt. It won the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 2006. This is the third installment in McDevitt's Alex Benedict series, following A Talent for War (1989) and Polaris (2004).

## Synopsis

The story is set approximately 10,000 years in the future, after civilization has expanded to inhabit countless worlds. Alex Benedict, dealer in antiques, and his partner Chase Kolpath are astroarchaeologists involved in the examination of abandoned bases and deserted space-craft in search of valuable items.
Alex is approached by a mysterious woman who asks him to ascertain the value of a strange cup riddled with archaic symbols. They discover that the cup is a 9,000-year-old relic from one of the first faster-than-light vehicles built, the Seeker. This was a colony ship crewed by a faction known as the "Margolians" who were fleeing the then-oppressive society of Earth in hopes of establishing a free world. Records indicate that they succeeded, as the Seeker made several voyages, but they kept the location of their colony world a secret.
Alex and Chase discover who brought this cup back with some insight. By retracing the route of these long-forgotten space explorers, they begin to get an idea of where the Seeker was found. Excitedly, they set off in hopes of finding the colony of "Margolia".

# Artemidorus Aristophanius

Artemidorus (Ancient Greek: Ἀρτεμίδωρος) was a grammarian of ancient Greece who lived around the late 3rd and early 2nd centuries BCE. He was often called Aristophanius or Pseudo-Aristophanius owing to his having been a disciple of Aristophanes of Byzantium, the celebrated Librarian of Alexandria, as well as of Aristophanes's successor, Aristarchus of Samothrace.
His works are sometimes confused with those of another grammarian named Artemidorus, Artemidorus of Tarsus, who sometimes wrote about the playwright Aristophanes.

## Works

Artemidorus is mentioned by Athenaeus as the author of a work Peri Doridos (περὶ Δωρίδος), the nature of which is not clear, and of a dictionary of technical terms and expressions used in the art of cookery (λέξεις or γλῶσσαι ὀψαρτυτικαί).

## Epigram

Some manuscripts of Theocritus contain, under the name of "Artemidorus", an epigram of two lines on the collection of bucolic poems, which some scholars speculate belongs to this grammarian.

# Huíla Plateau

The Huíla Plateau (Portuguese: Planalto da Huíla) is a large plateau and highlands region in south-central Angola. It is part of the Great Escarpment and forms the southernmost stretch of the Central Plateau of Angola. It is separated from the Atlantic Coast by the Serra da Leba and Serra da Chela mountain ranges, extending southward to the Namib Desert at Angola's border with Namibia. Its western edge forms the border between the Huíla and Namibe Provinces.

## Geography

The Huíla Plateau is located in south-central Angola, on the southern extremity of the Bié Plateau. Its southern edge skirts the Namib Desert, and its southeastern edge runs along the Cunene Basin.
Its western edge forms the natural boundary between the Huíla and Namibe Provinces, roughly extending from Chongorói, Benguela Province, in the north, to Onkokwa, Cunene Province, in the south. This edge is characterized by deep escarpments, such as the Tundavala Gap, and is part of the Great Escarpment. Along this edge are the Serra da Leba and Serra de Chela mountain ranges. Beyond this is a desert/beach region along the Atlantic Coast.
The plateau is subdivided into two main plateaus: the Humpata and the Bimbe Plateaus. Lubango, the capital of Huíla Province, sits atop Humpata Plateau.
Besides Serra da Leba and Serra da Chela, the plateau contains several smaller mountain ranges and highland subregions. Along the southwest edge near Onkokwa, the plateau contains the Chabiva and Muvelaumo Mountain Ranges.
Its highest elevation is 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) at the Humpata Plateau and its lowest is 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) near Onkokwa.

### Geomorphology

The geomorphology of the plateau subdivides it into three main regions: the Ancient Plateau, which comprises the main body of the highlands; the Marginal Mountain Range located on its northern boundary; and the Escarpment Zone, a transitional zone dividing the high plateau from the arid coast.

## Geology

The Huíla Plateau sits atop a layer of dolomitic bedrock called the Leba-Tchamalindi Formation, which formed during the Paleoproterozoic. The plateau was once on the shoreline, supported by the presence of reef knolls inside its limestone outcroppings. Over time, heavy erosion, tectonic activity, and created a karstic landscape. Today, this presents as a vast network of steep ridges, valleys, and cliffs, and subterranean caves, sinkholes, and tunnels.

## Climate

The climate of the Huíla Plateau is highly variable. The monsoon lasts from October to April, followed by a dry season during the off months, with an average annual precipitation between 800 to 900 mm (31 to 35 in). Temperatures typically average 17–18°C, with extreme highs of 35–37°C in summer and extreme lows of -2°C in winter. Inside the Tchivinguiro Depression, a valley in the Humpata Plateau, exists a Mediterranean microclimate, which receives markedly more rainfall: approximately 926 mm (36.5 in) per year.

Filled Long Johns are called filled bars, or filled bar doughnuts. For example, an unfilled (or even custard-filled) Long John with maple-flavored icing is called a maple bar in California. They may also be topped with chopped bacon and called a maple bacon bar. Maple bars are prominent on the West coast of the United States; they are also known as a maple-glazed Long John, Maple-Creamstick or maple Bismarck.
