A list of puns related to "Middle chronology"
-Was there famous centers of productions through out Eurasia-Africa(which will henceforth be known as the "Old World") similar to Milanese plate armor or Toledo/Damascus Steel?
As a matter of geographical area I would like if all of the Old World was considered. Responses from the advent of the chainmail to its fall out of use are very much welcome concerning the Sahel, the Steppes, East Asia, India and the Middle East.
EDIT: Edited for spelling and typos.
"The study also addresses a debate over the date of a massive volcanic eruption on Santorini. This much-studied event is dated around 1500 B.C. by archaeologists but earlier – 1630 to 1600 B.C. – by scientists. Manning said the new findings rule out the date of 1500 B.C., but may also modify the science. A 1630-1600 B.C. date remains possible, but a later date in the range 1600-1550 B.C. now becomes plausible, and even works better with existing archaeological and historical records, including writings from Egypt."
I read the middle earth books in publication order first. I am now going to start my second read through of all the books. I was thinking about using www.chronology.org to read all Tolkiens works on middle earth (Silm, Unfinished, FotR, TT, RotK, tCoH) in exact chronology order. It breaks down all these books into about 180 sections you have to jump between but puts them all in order. Has anyone done this? Is it worth it and do you gain anything from it? If not is there a suggested order for rereading?
I've been reading this Wikipedia article and it appears to say that the Middle Chronology is the most popular but I have a few modern books that use the Short Chronology. What are the differences and why do some academics choose one over the other?
Tale of Years-LOTR Appendix B.
I've read up on what happens to the main characters from the Lord of the Rings after the events of the trilogy, i.e. the death of Aragorn and Legolas sailing off to the undying lands with Gimli etc., but what is the last significant event concerning Middle Earth's timeline that Tolkien details?
Good or bad, I think this device is really overused, and it smacks of film-makers or studios not liking their own beginning to the story enough to think that audiences would pay attention if it weren't for some more 'exciting' scene to start the film. I just started watching 1900 (Novecento) [I'm half an hour in, no spoilers please!] and was a bit disappointed to see the exact same thing done, when I think the intro from the chronological start (Alfredo and Olmo being born) would have worked just fine. It makes me think the studio wanted to put De Niro and Sutherland as quickly on the screen as possible, but maybe the reasoning for starting on Liberation Day will make sense later.
An example where this device is used well is Once Upon a Time in America (I watched this yesterday), where a lot doesn't make sense in the first half-hour of the movie, but one knows that Noodles's three compadres meet a sticky end in 1933, so you live through their friendship knowing and fearing the tragedy that is to befall them. It helps that the entire film is told out of chronological order, so starting at that particular point doesn't feel so arbitrary.
But a worse example is The Blind Side, which starts with a scene of a lawyer talking to Michael Oher about his "odd situation", which makes it seem like he's suspected of a crime like murder. When the scene is revisited nearly two hours later, it turns out she wants to know if >!his parents affected his decision of which college to pick, which is disappointing, and shows that the first scene was quite misleading.!< It also didn't need to be there, since the story is interesting enough from the very start not to need that arbitrarily chosen scene to begin the movie.
I see this kind of scene done a lot in TV as well. I especially remember the second episode of Agents of SHIELD starts with a plane explosion that is only revisited later in the episode, almost a "keep watching the episode, you won't want to miss this!" promising action later, rather than actually keep the show interesting outside of the action.
Do you think this movie device is overused? Do you think it's mainly good or mainly bad? On the whole I'm not a fan of it, as you watch a confusing scene where you don't know who the characters are before going back and finding out who they are, and it's a cheap illogical way to put one of the better scenes of the movie near the front. But there are exceptions to the rule.
Edit: I finished 1900 and the intro d

Five years ago, Reddit helped take Scott’s Cheap Flights from a hobby to a side-hustle to a job to now a start-up with 40 people and growing.
(If you're curious you can check out Scott's Cheap Flights here, but zero pressure. Honestly!)
To say thanks, once a year or so I like to pop in and spend the day talking cheap flights and answering all your questions, travel or otherwise. And also to celebrate Redditor’s success stories getting cheap flights, including:
(If you’ve been able to book a cheap flight recently give a shout in the comment section—I wanna celebrate with you!)
And now, after years of being asked “what’s your secret to finding cheap flights?” I finally got my shit together and compiled everything I know into a book out next week, Take More Vacations: How to Search Better, Book Cheaper, and Travel the World.
One of my goals in this book was to cut through the BS misconceptions that get parroted elsewhere as cheap flight advice, like “clear your cook

I have never taught thematically, as the schools I have worked at the last 8 years have had social studies taught chronologically. It was decided that we are breaking the next school year into 6 units based on GRAPES, though not exactly in that order. So, the first unit would focus primarily on Geography and we'd explore a host of civilizations through the lens of geography. The next unit would focus in on Religion, and so on. In short, my grade covers from prehistory through river civilizations and all the way up to the end of the Middle Ages. Does anyone have any resources they could recommend based on this GRAPES breakdown? Is anyone aware of any other school/district doing themes like this? Any advice is welcome.
I made this originally here as several comments in Re:Zero's last episode discussion. It was requested that I make it into a post for better visibility, and to make it easier for people interested to save this.
This is a summary to help you understand what's going on and shine light on things that are easy to miss. I'll start with an easy to understand chronological timeline showcasing the most important events we know of so far and explaining in-place the misunderstood parts if any, then a couple interesting things you might have missed, some misconceptions, common wrong translations, and lastly a succinct explanation of the magic system in the Re:Zero world. Spoiler-free if you've finished S2 and the 2 OVAs.
Note: I didn't include plot points that were purposely cut out in S1/S2. The important ones will definitely be rearranged in future seasons.
Note 2: Some events in a categorical year might not be accurately ordered, as we don't really know the exact chronology of all events.
I run a private campground. We have open camping and host events. Before my family’s land became a campground, it wasn’t much of anything. It wasn’t used for farming or ranching. The trees weren’t harvested for lumber. My family’s income came from other means, though sadly what those were was never passed down. The prior generations had more important information to convey - like how to survive the little girl that weeps outside the window every night. So for the most part, the land existed as a source of resentment for the locals.
The campground was started not just as a source of revenue, but also as a way to mollify the town. After all, people are a lot happier when they know where their next paycheck is coming from.
If you’re new here, you should really start at the beginning and if you’re totally lost, this might help.
I vaguely understood that things were bad prior to the campground. Those old grudges had to come from somewhere, after all. My grandfather certainly created quite a few, but the soil was already fertile for resentment and that had to come from somewhere. I didn’t understand just how bad it really was, though. Our oral family history glossed over that. The town didn’t like us and that was all that was said.
I guess… I’d just projected my own experiences onto that. No friends growing up. Covert glances in the hardware store. Contentious town hall meetings. There was enough resentment that the man with no shadow could exploit it, but things settled down after he was gone. I figured that’s how it’d always been.
My brother found that wasn’t the case. He called me up and told me to read some pages out of Mattias’s journal. He thought they might be helpful with some of the problems I’m currently dealing with. I’ll admit that I haven’t been spending a lot of time with the journal. I’ve already read the earlier entries and there’s not a lot there that I don’t know already. The useful stuff is in the later entries, but those have their own challenges.
Mattias stops writing in chronological order about halfway through. He’ll tell part of something, come back the next day and write about something completely different, and then finish the original story up

... keep reading on reddit ➡Alright, so a lot of people on here believe (or are very hopeful) that we are on the brink of at least a light disclosure. As a lurker who is only subscribed to sometimes see a cool pic or two that I then come on and say “Looks like a mylar balloon” and watch as diehard believers lose their shit, I’ve only been able to capture the recent excitement in snippets. And I can hardly force myself to listen to a Joe Rogan podcast. (I wish people would stop trying to reveal big news there).
Anyway, I think I’ve mostly pieced it together although I’m sure there are holes, misunderstandings, or inaccurate chronologies, so please correct or add as you see fit. Here we go (under each numbered point, if you see an “edit” it is a correction made by user responses):
EDIT: Harry Reid and two other long running and now deceased senators secured the funds for AATIP initially. Reid had been pals with UFO buff Robert Bigelow for some time beforehand and also had an active interest in UFOS. Now Bigelow had contractual dealings with a couple government agencies through his research and development into advanced aeronautics and space flight. In addition he owned a MUFON like company through which the FAA had written instructions for pilots to report UFO sightings to. In summary Bigelow was the de facto UFO guy and link between Reid and AATIP.
EDIT: AATIP was discontinued several years ago, more recently it was replaced by UAPTF.
EDIT: The Blink 182/civilian UFO investigators name is Tom Delonge, and he was the guitar player and vocalist.
EDIT: AATIP was officially on the books for roughly decade before Elizondo left.
EDIT: Lue Elizondo does not outright claim they are not human. He does say that they likely aren’t ours or another country’s. He mentions quantum physics and beings that might exper

This section takes place over two days, and it is more of an observation of street life as opposed to a chronological tale like the first one.
Finding a new Hotel
As mentioned in my last post, this dingy little hole in the wall would only have me for as long as I needed.
Also, I think there was a bullet hole in my window, So I called up the Mercure Hotel and they said I could stay. Perfect. I told the woman at the front desk that I didn’t need the second night and she gave me back half of my fee.
I asked if she could help me call a taxi, and if it was okay to leave so brazenly because there are police outside. She just told me to get a taxi outside like the unhelpful cow she was. I didn’t get to see the neighbourhood because I arrived so late. But it reminded me of my time living in the boonies before moving to Shanghai.
Even when I lived in rural Guangdong, there was a Uyghur that would drive a van of goats to the plaza near where I worked, and butcher it there and then to barbeque the meat. This street was goat meat central.
Piles of goat carcasses in the back of a van. This was a whole street of small-town China with ‘Uyghur characteristics’.
I took the bus to the hotel, admiring the scenery, comparing what’s standard Chinese aesthetic with what makes it uniquely Xinjiang.
The new hotel was in a gated high security area just like the Russian one, but less drunk people stumbling around. It was on top of a hill overlooking a massive market area, mainly selling DIY stuff. It would be easier from now on to tell you what places DON’T have security checks.
I was allowed to stay at this hotel and get my ‘baogao’ later on, at 10pm whe

greetings. it's me, your neighborhood dr. joe stan, with a recap of today's "click bait" episode starring our subreddit husband, dr. joe (in bold to distinguish from grocery joe). they kind of jumped around a bit, so some things are out of chronological order. disclaimer: i don't write recaps often.
- for the first time in click bait history, one of tayshia's ex-boyfriends will be a guest on the pod. but he probably won't be the last now that she's in NYC and half of her cast lives there.
- natasha asks who zac is closest with from the guys on her season. tayshia says that he has kept in touch with many of them, but it's not like he goes out to dinner with them so she wouldn't call any of them his closest friends. (OP note: i'm assuming she's referring to how often the NYC crew hangs)
- joe asks if zac is close with today's click bait guest.
>TAYSHIA: absolutely. this particular person has actually been in our close quarters quite a couple of times… definitely without me knowing at first. (OP note: apparently joe recently went on a run with a couple of zac's friends & zac's sister follows him, so they must have bonded a lot)
- a wild dr. joe appears!
- joe asks dr. joe if he prefers joe, dr. joe… dr. joe says they can call him whatever they want.
>JOE: well, how about dr. park?
>DR. JOE: joe, i've known you for about 30 seconds now. we're friends. call me joe.
>TAYSHIA: i'm going to call you dr. park because i think that's cute.
>NATASHA: i like dr. joe. so there you go! you've got all of them.
"how long have you lived in NY?"
"how did you learn how to surf?"
"what's your type?"

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hello,
I was thinking it might be fun to read the entire chronology of Middle Earth again once Beren and Luthien comes out in June. I haven't read any of these books save The Children of Hurin since High School, and College, so I gleamed the following information from Wikipedia, and the various subreddits. I was wondering if anyone had any insight into if I'm missing any major work, or mis-ordering anything. Please also feel free to use this list if it's helpful.
Thanks!
This is an attempt to put together an as-comprehensive-as-possible chronology of the Kristin Smart Investigation. I claim none of this research as my own; I just needed a chronology for my own understanding and figured I'd share. Please give suggestions and corrections in comments or messages to me -- this is truly too much info for one person to get 100% correct so I welcome input.
I will add citations as I finish this up, but all info is culled from multiple re-listenings of YOB, KSBY.com, SLO Tribune, Sheriff Press Releases, and, in the latest happenings, my own observations.

May 24th, 1996
Afternoon (general)
Evening, After the phone call (general)
“Right,” I said, raising my voice on deck to make sure I could be heard. There were four of us, me up front and three others lounging around on deck chairs. “What have we got so far?”
“The anchor’s bad,” Cole answered, sitting upright to rub a hand over his shaved head. “I’m not sure I’ll be able to get it up. It’s held out for thirty years and isn’t coming easy.”
“Well we kinda need to get it up,” I replied. “Especially if we’re going to get this baby to a dock.”
“If we need to,” he said, “we can cut it but I’m not sure we’ve got anything that can do the job.”
“I’ll speak to Khasim’s men,” I replied. “How’s the rudder?”
“Looking good,” Gareth answered. “The rudder is good.”
“Anything else?”
“We found a leak,” Charlie said, crossing her boots with a sigh. “Bottom deck is flooded but we can’t be sure why the water level is still.”
“A leak’s bad news,” Gareth groaned.
“It is,” I said, “let’s get down there. Charlie, Cole, you ready for a dive?”
“Aye aye,” they cried. “Already brought the suits up,” Charlie added.
“Sounds good,” I said. “Let’s get going.”
With that Charlie and Cole left. Out of all of us they had the hardest job and from the keen looks in their eye as they made their way below deck, they took it seriously. I nodded approvingly at Gareth as he walked over. He handed me a coffee and we began to carefully pick our way across the open deck where we stood. It looked like it had been a sunbathing area with a nearby bar. Now all that furniture was just broken wreckage left strewn across the floor.
“They’re good guys,” I said. “They’re taking all of this well.”
“It does seem pretty good on paper, doesn’t it?” Gareth said.
We had been hired ahead of any other crew and sent to board the ship on our own. Our job was to have some kind of inventory ready to go the second the buyer’s crew arrived. After that we would organise and manage the repair effort based on our initial reports.
“It does,” I said. “I would say that, except…”
“Nothing about this place feels good?” Gareth asked.
“You have to wonder, don’t you? Looking at all this shit.” I picked up an old handbag that had been lying on the floor. “I know it was a sudden evacuation but I’m not sure the captain went crazy like they say.”
“You think it was something else?” Gareth asked, arching one eyebrow towards me. “This place is creepy but I’ve just been putting it down to nerves.”
“I don’t know.” I shrugged and tossed the handbag to the floor. “It’d help if it was a big story, y’kn
