Download or read book The Canon Of Hive written by Joe Schultz and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the dawn of the century, John Yianni struck gold in creating Hive(R), a strategic game about using specialized bugs to surround an enemy bee. What makes this masterpiece so much fun is its simplicity. There are no complex rules that eject you from the puzzle mindset. Chance is off the table. There isn't even a board to set up. It's an intense duel with no sound... except for the satisfying "CLACK-CLACK" produced by the physical version. A quick search online will show that Hive claims a spot on virtually every list of top-ten strategy table games for two players. That is an important distinction-you can find the game of Hive without even searching for "the game of Hive." Alas, this beautiful game is starting to get its dues. And with that recognition, Hive strategies have crystallized and evolved... over and over. There are now many skilled players. So, if you're interested in competing at the highest level, you would benefit greatly from the perspective of a true master...Joe Schultz (Jewdoka), the 2017 Hive World Champion, exposes the intricacies of the game in "The Canon of Hive: Groundwork." As a devout practitioner of Judo, Jewdoka applies the principles of "the gentle way" to the game of Hive. This book will inspire you to maximize your efficiency and avoid the fruitless fight of strength vs. strength. You will also have the tools to create your own powerful style and perhaps one day claim the rank of champion.To facilitate your growing process, "Groundwork" quantizes the levels of Hive information into five levels: (1) Principle, (2) Fundamental, (3) Technique, (4) Tactic, and finally, (5) Strategy. By growing your skill in each level, you will have more room to expand your ability in the levels above. Because the main goal is to enable you to develop your own strategy, the bulk of this book hinges on level 3: Technique. In fact, 40 (yes 40!) technical tools sorted into five neat categories distilled for your creative combinations. But don't think that is the only part. The hinge is only as important as what it connects. You must start with your principle and ultimately arrive in your own Hive strategy.Despite having over 300 pages, Groundwork is an easy and captivating read. The bite-sized-chunk delivery allows you to learn something new or solidify a particular topic of interest within a restricted time frame. Just 5 min with this book is enough to unlock a hidden door that will help your gameplay right off the bat. You will want to come back to strengthen yourself time and time again. Groundwork is a great resource that will no doubt be a centerpiece on the lap of any interested player, no matter your skill level.Almost three years in the making, Groundwork has evolved to become the book that it is today. The long wait is over! Jewdoka is pleased to bring you "The Canon of Hive: Groundwork," with the blessing of the creator himself: "I have to say that this is an awesome book, I'm very impressed... This is a wonderful resource for the Hive community... It's such a joy reading the depth you have gone into." -John Yianni So, do you want to be the next Hive World Champion?

This tale of heartache, heroism, and hope is one familys multi generational social experiment, which encompasses kids in their teens, parents in their forties, grandparents in their seventies, and a ninety-plus year-old great-grandmother. Together, as they navigate the joys and challenges that come with aging in America, theyre also answering the question, How does family help you thrive at home when youre old? An Alzheimers/dementia diagnosis adds a layer of complexity, yet the family resolves to keep their eldest at home for as long as shes happy, safe and engaged in life. The younger generation learns much from their elders, and the elders from their children. While mastering the use of technology and new family systems, theyre also mastering the use of humor, tolerance, and patience. Ultimately, thats what makes this four-generation experiment a success. Practical design advice and clear-eyed strategies are mixed with personal tips and observations, making it easy to see how anyone can transform their home in into their own multi-generational living situation. Her stories are honest, both funny and poignant. The familys fiascos are counterbalanced by their many successes, the greatest one being that as individuals and as a family, they continue to thrive.

Download or read book The Hive written by Barry Lyga and published by Kids Can Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Winner of People Magazine’s Best Books for Fall 2019. New York Times bestselling authors Barry Lyga and Morgan Baden have teamed up for the first time to create a novel that’s gripping, terrifying and more relevant every day. Cassie McKinney has always believed in the Hive. Social media used to be out of control, after all. People were torn apart by trolls and doxxers. Even hackers — like Cassie’s dad — were powerless against it. But then the Hive came. A better way to sanction people for what they do online. Cause trouble, get too many "condemns," and a crowd can come after you, teach you a lesson in real life. It’s safer, fairer and perfectly legal. Entering her senior year of high school, filled with grief over an unexpected loss, Cassie is primed to lash out. Egged on by new friends, she makes an edgy joke online. Cassie doubts anyone will notice. But the Hive notices everything. And as her viral comment whips an entire country into a frenzy, the Hive demands retribution. One moment Cassie is anonymous; the next, she’s infamous. And running for her life. With nowhere to turn, she must learn to rely on herself — and a group of Hive outcasts who may not be reliable — as she slowly uncovers the truth about the machine behind the Hive.
