This ethnography of a live-action role play (LARP) community examines the structure of play, how new participants are introduced and apprenticed into the culture, player expectations and motivations, and games as they are designed and as they are performed. The main focus is on LARP's affordance for learning across a variety of disciplines and interests. The book is intended for LARP participants, academics interested in play or in collaborative development, those interested in new uses of familiar learning environments, and game developers with an interest in creating games with highly interactive narratives and co-creative play experiences in which the role of designer and player is blurred. | Author: David Simkins | Publisher: Mcfarland & Company | Publication Date: Jan 26, 2015 | Number of Pages: 224 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 0786496010 | ISBN-13: 9780786496013

We might sometimes wonder if our main character is worthy of the label protagonist or if our story would be better told through another character's eyes. So let's talk about how can ensure our main character deserves the role of protagonist.

Argues that queer picture books with main characters of color can disrupt structures of power in both literature and real life Coloring into Existence investigates the role of authors, illustrators, and independent publishers in producing alternative narratives that disrupt colonial, heteropatriarchal notions of childhood. These texts or characters unsettle the category of the child, and thus pave the way for broader understandings of childhood. Often unapologetically politically motivated, queer and trans of color picture books can serve as the basis for fantasizing about disruptions to structures of power, both within and outside literary worlds. Fusing literary criticism and close readings with historical analysis and interviews, Isabel Mill√°n documents the emergence of a North American queer of color children's literary archive. In doing so, she considers the sociopolitical circumstances out of which queer of color children's literature emerged; how a queer and trans of color aesthetic translates to picture books; and how the acts of imagination and worldmaking inspired by picture books produce a realm of freedom, healing, and transformation for queer and trans of color children and adults. Coloring into Existence explores the curious ways that queer and trans of color publications "color outside the lines"--refusing to conform to industry standards, intermixing fiction with nonfiction, and mobilizing alternative modes of production and distribution to create new worlds.

The book cites the most recent scientific findings to provide a radically different approach to the formation and background of cancer, and also lays down the scientific foundations for a new, effective methodology of curing cancer. The author began his research in the early 1990s while investigating the role that deuterium (heavy hydrogen) plays in regulating biological and physiological processes. A number of leading universities and research institutes worldwide have joined the groundbreaking research. The book examines the most common conventional treatment methods in oncology and introduces the most effective combinations of treatments while providing detailed instructions in using deuterium depletion. Also discussed are deuterium depletion's mechanism of action, the most important factors affecting effectiveness, and the main considerations when using the method. The method's therapeutic potential is demonstrated through sixteen types of cancer, results from clinical trials, and specific case studies. One crucially important chapter describes how to use deuterium depletion to foster a healthy lifestyle. The last chapter contains recommendations for use, providing a helpful guide for health-conscious individuals or those struggling with the disease. The book strives to keep a balance between being easy to read or speaking in laymen's terms while providing a professional introduction of the research and clinical application to researchers and doctors. It discusses the treatment method based on deuterium depletion, which offers a tool of curing cancer and other chronic diseases, while also being more efficient and milder than any other oncotherapy up to now.

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with,” says Jim Rohn, famous American author, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur.

(1) On the contrary, the personality types that spread negative influence are much more numerous. On the top of that list are – the narcissists. Narcissism, defined as a mild mental disorder, involves an exaggerated perception of one’s significance
