He owns a 78-77 career record with a 3.80 ERA in 240 appearances for Atlanta (2011-19), the Los Angeles Angels (2020) and Detroit (2021).ĬLEVELAND (AP) As the fight-to-the-finish Guardians started mounting another rally and 35,000 fans sensed more late-inning magic, Astros manager Dusty Baker stayed positive. Teheran went 4-2 with a 5.63 ERA in eight starts this season with the Padres’ Triple-A affiliate in El Paso, Texas. The 32-year-old Teheran was an All-Star with the Atlanta Braves in 20, but hasn’t pitched in the majors since appearing in one game with the Detroit Tigers in 2021.

One way to do that is to show people what they don’t know, and then fill the gap in their knowledge.Ĭoncreteness - The idea has to be expressed in terms that can be seen or grasped. Your idea needs to make people curious, and want to engage with it. To generate long-term interest, however, you need to rely on more than just surprise. They surprise us, and that’s partly why we remember them, because they jolt us out of our tendency to believe that we ‘know’ stuff. Unexpectedness - Memorable ideas tend to be unexpected. These are ideas that matter, because they go right to the heart of the issue. Simple, easy, memorable-but also profound. The same ideas are expressed in very similar terms in a surprisingly large number of languages, and are repeated in pretty much the same words each time. Simplicity - Made to Stick suggests that perhaps the ultimate in sticky ideas is a proverb. The core of the book is that sticky ideas share six characteristics: With an absent father and a useless mother, she’s been making decisions based on what’s best for Cole for as long as she can remember.

I don’t want anything to do with it.” Morpheus bestows immortality, and once every century meets Gadling in the same location. Also set in the past, or, more accurately, through the ages, it begins when Morpheus and Death overhear one Hob Gadling, late 14 th century peasant, declare “The only reason people die is because everyone does it. It’s a very good, yet simple story, and equally valid representing elements in which Gaiman would later sometimes over-indulge during the series, with portentous dialogue and meta-fictional overtones.Ī second interlude story, this illustrated by Michael Zulli, is more whimsical. We start, though, with a faux African fable in which the imperious Queen Nada is courted by a rather petulant Morpheus. Here it takes flight, although returns to far better conceived horror for the final content. We now see Neil Gaiman progressing greatly as a writer, becoming more assured as he sheds the horror trappings that previously confined his imagination. In that first collection Sandman was freed from confinement and retrieved the objects that enabled him as ruler of the Dreaming. This was the first Sandman material to be issued as a graphic novel, in 1990, when such publications were relatively rare, and so the earliest editions also featured the introduction of Death, now consigned to the preceding Preludes and Nocturnes.

She details an encounter with one her mother’s former students who, upon seeing Bui in the doorway, looks back to Bui’s mother, with a smile on her face, points to the door, and says, “She looks like you, but not as pretty.” Bui uses the initial picture to move from her sketch table to the trip to Việt Nam, highlighting the ways that the image or herself is enwrapped with the image she has of her mother but also highlighting that she does not know as much about her mother as she thinks she does. As she holds the image, she says, “People always say I look just like her.” Bui next takes us to Việt Nam when her and her mother went back.
