The interviews involved open-ended questions that helped bring out coaching philosophies on many different issues, including the issue of reading their players and the game. This idea of reading players and the game is directly reflective of Tony Mirabelli’s idea of multiple literacies.

This idea of reading players and the game is directly reflective of Tony Mirabelli’s idea of multiple literacies.

I recorded football coaches at the University of Dayton during their pregame speeches and interviewed those coaches afterwards; I also interviewed a coaching graduate assistant at the University of Cincinnati via email.

The recording of the pregame speeches took place before a home game on a Saturday afternoon. In the pregame speeches, Coach Kelly and Coach Whilding attempted to bring out the best in their players.

Wikipedia entry was very knowledgeable for me. It has showed me what discourse communities are. Now I know how I can apply all the definitions and meanings about community to my paper. Tony Mirabelli and Sean Branick were also very helpful for me in trying to understand the discourse community. The reading by Mirabelli helped me to understand the importance of how to read people and not only the menu. It showed me how it’s important to know genre of community and special lexis they use between them. The reading from Branick showed me how coaches could be discourse community. How they use genre, special lexis in their communication by using game sheets and playbook. That they share common goals and purpose for helping kids to improve their performance and make them better people.

does it really compare to losing a video game when you can just queue up another one right after?

The metaphor of “catching the ball that the children throw us, and then tossing it back to continue the game” is a favorite one in Reggio Emilia

Sometimes the adult works right inside a group of children and sometimes works just around the group, so he has many roles. The role of the adult is above all one of listen-ing, observing, and understanding the strategy that children use in a learning situa-tion. The teacher has, for us, a role as dispenser of occasions; and it is very important for us that the child should feel the teacher to be, not a judge, but a resource to whom he can go when he needs to borrow a gesture, a word. According to Vygotsky, if the child has gone from point a to point b and is getting very close to c, sometimes to reach c, he needs to borrow assistance from the adult at that very special moment. We feel that the teacher must be involved within the child’s exploring procedure, if the teacher wants to understand how to be the organizer and provoker of occasions, on the one hand, and co-actor in discoveries, on the other. And our expectations of the child must be very flexible and varied. We must be able to be amazed and to enjoy, like the children often do. We must be able to catch the ball that the children throw us, and toss it back to them in a way that makes the children want to continue the game with us, developing, perhaps, other games as we go along. (Filippini, 1990

More and more today, people do not have to play just the role of the spectator. Since they can now produce their own music, news, games, and films, for example, they can participate in what used to be practices reserved for professional or elite musicians, film makers, game designers, and news people(Shirky, 2008)

Taking a common definition per the American Heritage Dictionary, virtual (n.d.) means "existing or resulting in essence or effect though not in actual fact, form, or name." Also, it can mean "created, simulated, or carried on by means of a computer or computer network" ("virtual," 2005) Other definitions can be found in the scientific literature to complement the dictionary, such as "the action to induce a targeted behavior in an organism by using artificial sensory stimulation, while the organism has little or no awareness of the interference" (LaValle, 2017). Another interesting definition for virtual reality is an interactive computer simulation which transfers sensory information to a user who perceives it as substituted or augmented (Abari, Bharadia, Duffield, & Katabi, 2017). Therefore, virtual reality could be defined as an environment created by a computer system that simulates a real situation. Starting with the resulting description, it can be said that this technology provides the user with the opportunity to be immersed in a programmed environment that simulates a reality. Currently individuals can be immersed within these realities through the sense of sight, by using visualization goggles; through touch, by wearing haptic gloves; and finally, through hearing by using headphones. The technology that makes it possible is based on software developments that use peripherals to interact with them. There are two types of applications. On the one hand, those that need powerful processors to use. On the other hand and in parallel, the complete offerings available on the market via a multitude of applications that can run with the processor of a smartphone in order to increase the channels of access to this technology. The video game industry has been the main sponsor for the development of this technology (Prieto, 2017). This sector has a critical mass of users willing to invest capital in order to improve the quality of ludic experiences. Once their capabilities have been proven, other sectors, such as communication, advertising, and marketing, have discovered that such technology can be a differential element within their business.

These facts are as inconvenient to academics seeking a nonpartisan, neutral diagnosis of what is happening to us as they are to professional journalists who are institutionally committed to describe the game in a nonpartisan way. Both communities have tended to focus on technolog y, we believe, because if technolog y is something that happens to all of us, no partisan finger pointing is required. But the facts we observe do not lend themselves to a neutral, “both sides at fault” analysis

main exception to this is in the area of gender, where anxiety about violence in computer games and the evident gendered split in game-playing uptake provoked huge debate. The statistics cited here about the gendered nature of game playing break down to confound popular expectations that game playing is an exclusively male preserve. Bryce and Rutter (2002) argued that discussions about the nature of gendered game playing tend to focus on game content rather than looking at the factors that might determine specific gender-related pleasures and motivations, and they concluded that game playing is more evenly spread across genders than is commonly supposed.

In recent years, concern with violence as an effect of exposure to the media has seen a definite swing toward an interest in the role of media in influ- encing consumption--as me

in general, as Jenkins argued, the events at Columbine were explained by the media as a direct consequence-as an effect--of playing violent computer games, especially, it was alleged, the game Doom.

The future of energy production, like the future of nutrition, must be underpinned by the ability for groups to spin up new patterns of coordination at will.And spinning up new patterns at will, it turns out, requires unenclosability not just in our communication systems but also our transacting systems.

Thus, another way of viewing the relationships between positive versus negative feedback and effective sport-specific teaching is the real possibility that -- given the tendency of all athletes to respond better to positive reinforcement -- some athletes may be more negatively affected cognitively by negative feedback from coaches than others on the team (37).

If players are confident that they can win the game, such comparisons can increase their assurances and the resultant psychological stress works in their favor (6).

The population problem cannot be solved in a technical way, any more than can the problem of winning the game of tick-tack-toe.

His characters live abundantly, even unexpectedly, but it remains to ask how do they live, and what do they live for? More and more they seem to us, deserting even the well-built villa in the Five Towns, to spend their time in some softly padded first-class railway carriage, pressing bells and buttons in-numerable; and the density to which they travel so luxuriously becomes more and more unquestionably an eternity of bliss spent in the very best hotel in Brighton.

Except I don’t want my weekends back. I want to keep spending them on the sidelines with my fellow soccer parents, watching our daughters play a truly great game.

Oh, just another kind of outdoor game, One on a side. It comes to little more:

The truth is more complex and less teleological. Game is about becoming the kind of man women will be attracted to automati-cally. Such a man—st ylish, confident, charismatic—will, as a matter of course, receive everyth ing he wants, including desirable sexual partners. The seduction community claims it can teach almost anyone how to become that kind of man

By setting out models for how men should act to seduce women, these texts also implicitly script appropriate female behavior.

Ovid’s text may have only limited value when used to validate modern game advice, but it works beautifully to illuminate the flaws and dangers in pickup-ar tist ideology. Taken alone, the Ars Ama-toria has often been treated by scholars as an amusing literary game, and seduction manuals are excused as common-se nse tips for how to win the game between the sexes. But when placed alongside each other, each text appears in a diff erent light. Ovid’s casual references to sexual assault seem far more sinister and less ironic when one realizes that similar ideas are widespread in the seduction commu-nity today. And Ovid shows that, for certain men, the most seduc-tive idea of all is that mastering the art of love—that is, learning how to violate women’s boundar ies in a socially acceptable manner—ca n function both as social commentary and as poli tica l resi sta nce

. In parti cula r, the similarities between the ancient and modern seduction guides highlight two parallel tendencies: the prizing of male subjectivity over female subjectivity, and a projec t of gradually intensifying the violation of women’s boundar ies.

At its heart, learning how to have game requires conceptualizing and internalizing ideas about gender that lead to devaluing women and relegating them to the status of sexual ob-jects.

The European map has the same rules as the USA map, but the differences in geography create a different feel and strategy. There are fewer connections on the European map (70 lines for 39 countries vs 89 lines for 41 states). However, it is easier to get from one side of the map to the other on the Europe side. The max distance between any two countries is 6, vs a max distance of 10 on the USA map. So on Europe, it is easier to zigzag around the whole board, but harder to wiggle around in close quarters.

I hope Vine reviewers will not be too upset with these next comments, as these reviewers may perform a useful function for an item that has no reviewers.However, those of us who pay for our books have more "skin in the game" than Vine reviewers. We "buyers", perhaps, read our purchases more carefully, and are less tolerant if a book has problems and probably less hesitant to point out its weaknesses.I often rely on reviews to make a purchase decision. Unfortunately, here the ratio of Vine reviewers compared to "real" buyers seems disproportionate and inappropriately high.The number of positive ratings a book receives often correlates to the chronology of posted reviews and their evaluation. For example, reviews made before a book has many "real" buyers tend to be high. That is the case here, where most of the highly rated reviews, the leading review is an example, are from Vine reviewers who apparently received the book before many "real buyers" did. This may be a cautionary sign.

“The fact that asymptomatic persons are potential sources of 2019-nCoV infection may warrant a reassessment of transmission dynamics of the current outbreak.”

Dr. Rau underscored that most cases of the disease are mild, which would make 2019-nCoV more like other typical coronaviruses like the seasonal flu.

    There was something about Joe Starks that cowed the town. It was not because of physical fear. He was no fist fighter. His bulk was not even imposing as men go. Neither was it because he was more literate than the rest. Something else made men give way before him. He had a bow-down command in his face, and every step he took made the thing more tangible.

What does SPNE predict (use backwards induction)?

Shepherd A: 120−2sA−sB

The payoff from staying Silent (cooperating) in each period is: −2×(1+g+g2+g3+...)−2×(1+g+g2+g3+...)-2 \times (1 + g + g^2 + g^3 + ... ) Here I get -2 in each period, starting today. Discounting this, we add up -2 (today), −2g−2g-2g (next period), −2g2−2g2-2g^2 (the period after next), etc, as represented above. The payoff from Confessing right away (after which both players Confess always) is: −1−3×(g+g2+g3+...)−1−3×(g+g2+g3+...) -1 -3 \times (g + g^2 + g^3 + ... ) Formula for a geometric series (where 0<g<10<g<10<g<1): g+g2+g3+g4...=g/(1−g)g+g2+g3+g4...=g/(1−g)g + g^2 + g^3 + g^4 ... = g/(1-g) Note on Maths: The standard derivation of this, which is pretty neat, is in the text. This formula is an important one in economics (and beyond), particularly for discounting a constant stream of payoffs, e.g., stock dividends Thus cooperation in a single period is ‘weakly preferred’ (at least as good) if (−2)×(1+g+g2+g3+...)≥(−1)+−3×(g+g2+g3+...)(−2)×(1+g+g2+g3+...)≥(−1)+−3×(g+g2+g3+...)(-2) \times (1 + g + g^2 + g^3 + ... ) \geq (-1) + -3 \times (g + g^2 + g^3 + ...) g+g2+g3+...≥1g+g2+g3+...≥1g + g^2 + g^3 + ... \geq 1 Note on the intuition for the second formula: the left side is loss of future payoffs (-3 vs -2 forever from next period, so a loss of 1 per period starting tomorrow). The right side is gain in ‘the present’ period (getting -1 rather than -2), so it is un-discounted. g/(1−g)≥1g/(1−g)≥1g/(1-g) \geq 1 g≥12

THIS IS NOT A GAME

When people watch or engage with scheduled content, the experience becomes a ritual and the content becomes a cultural touchpoint. We see this when people join thousands of others for live Peloton rides, or when people check their favorite music streaming service for new music every Friday. And who can forget those few weeks in April and May when it seemed like everyone was talking about the final season of “Game of Thrones”? The conversations about the content often feel as valuable as the content itself. Consistent programming facilitates these conversations — and ultimately fosters a sense of connection — by turning that scheduled content into an event.

Starting with a small cohort, we’ll refine the patterns and practices that sustain learning. We will see case studies of how the organizing model is made locally relevant. Globally, we will be a large peer learning community. And we’ll also have smaller, local peer learning communities connected and experimenting in a place.

For our community that teaches the web, we understand ourselves as participating in i) a global network and ii) a local context.

Richard averaged a goal a game, playing in all 50 games, and the legend took root. By 1955, Richard had scored more goals, 422, than anyone in the history of the NHL

The punishment is worse for Richard.

“The Babe Ruth of hockey,”

You’ve never seen a hockey player like Maurice Richard. Not Crosby. Not Gretzky. Not Orr, Beliveau, Howe. None of them had the talent, the intensity, the will to take over a game like Richard.

Richard’s temper had already drawn Campbell’s censure. After Richard clubbed Ezinicki in 1947, Campbell fined the Habs’ star $250 and suspended him for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals, a loss. Four years later, he fined Richard a record $500 for attacking McLean in the hotel lobby. And just a little more than two months earlier, the president had fined Richard $250 for slapping the linesman Hayes with his glove.

Authorities feared a sequel to Thursday night’s rampage at Saturday’s game against the Rangers. The police took “emergency measures”

Why should Richard, for whom the game is made to order, take tantrums like a spoiled child and incite a lot of crack-pots such as the tear-gas bomb thrower at the Forum and the fools who broke windows and took after streetcars last night in Montreal?”
