Larp
Yo jimbo is a friend of mine. His company, Dreamscape, had had a huge effect on my life. It has changed my life in many ways. I have made many new friends, discovered my love of role playing, and adopted an over all different life style.
Dreamscape is a Fantasy L.A.R.P. (Live Action Role Playing game) or Larp. Dreamscape runs an event once a month, at Fountain Blue state park in Mandeville La., where people come from all over La. And even the Mississippi area to play. At an event choose a race to play out of the preset races. I personally play a lizard man. You are required to where makeup and prosthetics to make your self look as much like your race as you can. Then you choose a class, which is like a job. You can buy skills off certain charts depending on your class. The skills you buy help determine what your character knows and is capable of in the game. Combat is done with foam weapons so that no one gets hurt, and spells are represented by a packet of bird seed which is thrown at the target of your spell. jimbo is now sole owner of Dreamscape, head of plot, (the developer of the over all story line) and the highest level player character in the game. He spends much of his time making rule calls and playing NPCs (None Player Characters) to further the story line.
Dreamscape has had a major impact upon my life. The first time I went was January of 2004. I was one of the only lizard men in the game. That quickly got m a reputation amongst the other people who played. I began to learn peoples names and got invited to other things that they were doing, between the monthly events. I discovered I loved to role-play. Before Larp I believed that I just loved to play video games and the reason I even tried Larp was because it sounded a lot like one of my favorite games. I quickly realized that it wasn’t as much a love of video games as it was a love of being able to make a personality in my head and play that character as if I were them.

Firstly Jim had tough decisions to make like 2 days before the launch when he was told that ken could not make the trip. He had two choices, to either be sentimental and stand for his friend ken and risk his whole crew being dropped or drop ken and have him replaced and still go on the mission. It was tough for him but the question of whether he had the safety of the crew members in mind or the mission that guided his decision to me i would say he was a

We are here faced with the polar opposite extremes in birthing. Seemingly, if a woman has too little prenatal care and education regarding birthing (as in Africa) she may not have the access to a Cesarean when she truly needs it; and at the other end of the spectrum if a woman has enveloped herself in a system that relies too heavily on birthing technologies she may end up with an unnecessary Cesarean surgery. Other paradigms exist for birthing such as in Holland where every woman is provided with a midwife for her birth, and Brazil where the C-section rate tops 80 percent. Yet another microcosmic pocket of birth in the U.S. shows us that C-section rates can be achieved at below 2%.

Jim Jones was the notorious cult leader of the Peoples Temple. Jones was born on May 13, 1931 in Crete, Indiana. He was a self-appointed pastor from a church in the Midwest. Jim had been popular for always wearing dark glasses, black suits and slicked-back hair, which made a splendid impression on the pulpit of the churches he had preached at or had been to. He then, in the mid-1960s, moved his congregation to California to, what he had wished, avoid the start of a nuclear war. Then, in 1974, he moved his people to Guyana after he was faced with financial abuses, criticism, and church beatings.
Doyle’s detective stories were written to be told by a character to which he could relate. He trained to become a doctor and used this training to influence the profession of the narrator of his Sherlock Holmes stories, Dr. John Watson. It is through the eyes of Dr. Watson that we first see our main character, Sherlock Holmes (Geherin 295). Watson was not the only character inspired by a real-life figure, however. Doyle based the character of Holmes off of his instructor, Dr. Joseph Bell.

Each year, an estimated 529 000 maternal deaths occur. This number comes from calculations for the year 2000, the most recent date for such crude data (Zahr & Wardlaw, 2004). And while many women report holding the newborn in their arms for the first time, forgetting the frustrations of pregnancy and considering the hardships worthwhile, the fact remains: pregnancy remains one of the most risky and unpleasant things a women can expect to
This year, the republicans and democrats have battled it out in many debates over the subject of immigration. Isis, the past couple years put a halt in the fact that we are allowing muslims to legally live in the United States. Candidate Donald Trump had this to say "As far as other people like in the migration, where they 're going, tens of thousands of people having cell phones with ISIS flags on them? I don 't think so, Wolf. They 're not coming to this country. And if I 'm president and if Obama has brought some to this country, they are leaving. They 're going. They 're gone" (Trump). Other candidates encourage the decrease of deportation. Saying we 're taking the lives away from families who need the U.S. Either way, the subject causes a huge disruption in everything. Nothing gets past without the talk of
Hillary Clinton felt that it was unnecessary to take drastic measures when it came to immigration; When it came to border security she claimed that she would “ protect U.S. borders and national security but did not give any specific plans”. Then came her plans for deportations; she had plans to defend DACA and DAPA (President Obama’s plans). DACA, which stood for deferred action for childhood arrivals,
All children and teenagers will discover character traits and qualities that they want to possess from the adults they come into contact with. Jim Hawkins is no different. He uses the attributes he learns from Ben Gunn, Dr. Livesey, and John Silver to help mold him into the man he is becoming.
In the anime, Attack on Titan, the director is able to create and blend different master plots: vengeance by visual editing that places flashbacks at important moments inside the story and camera angles; hero’s quest by visual cuts and transitions from different character points of view; underdog by changing camera angles. Finally, but not least temptation through the use of sound editing with actions scenery and coloring. Narrative elements used by the director inside a film can change the master plot at any critical moment inside a story, elaborating a different story that can vary depending on our way of interpreting and analyzing the world around us. The director may have a general message that he wants to convey through narrative elements as it was previously stated, but we as the audience have the last word in what the film represents even though we obtain the main idea through the manipulation of the narrative elements used by the director.
Sherlock Holmes, a name most people would know if they were to hear it, has come to greatly influence the modern world of mysteries. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had no idea a character he started to write about for the first time in 1887 would still be carried alive by other TV and movie producers in 2014. Doyle also never new that Holmes would become such a popular character or result in a name mostly everybody would know. Even if there was a person who did not know who or what Sherlock Holmes was, they are certain to have at least heard his name before. “Doyle turned his principal character into a household word” (Haining 7). Doyle started a legacy that lives on forever. Sherlock Holmes personality and looks may change with every generation he is in, but his main characteristics remain the same. Sherlock Holmes’ style of deduction, great sense of observation and strange personality in Arthur Doyle’s stories influenced how TV and movie producers would portray Holmes in their version of Doyle’s mysteries in shows such as Elementary and Sherlock.
I’m the type of guy that would go out and buy a Call of Duty game, pop it open and gather all my friends and jump right into it. Call of Duty is one of the most popular games out and many people love to play. It is competitive, it has online play, and you can also create a clan or group to play against other people around the world online. Call of Duty dates back to 2003 and really wasn’t popular then because it’s all about killing your enemy. Many parents didn’t want their child to play the game. Growing up, I didn’t know much about video games, so I wasn’t really into them until I started playing Call of Duty. Not only does it have military based features, it also has zombies and/or aliens features as well.
