The Kid Kit: All You Need to Interview Your Grandparents
The Kid Kit: All you need to interview your grandparents INCLUDED: • 45 FAMILY HISTORY QUESTIONS • 3 BONUS ACTIVITIES • INTERVIEW RECORDING TIPS • THE HISTORY YOUR GRANDPARENTS LIVED THROUGH • TIPS FOR WHAT TO DO POST-INTERVIEW Recommended for children ages 8-12. Recommended for children A resource from ModernHeirloomBooks.com. ©2020 Modern Heirloom Books LLC. For personal use only. The Kid Kit Dear Grandma/Grandpa/Poppy/Nana/Oma/Bubbe, I can’t wait to interview you and learn more about your life before you were my grandparent. Could you please: • Tell me when you need a break during our interview? • Consider my questions an invitation to tell me everything—don’t feel like you should just answer what I ask, but rather use the questions as a springboard to travel back in time, remember, and tell me all the stories that come to mind—please!! • Have fun! I hope you enjoy this process, and know that I and the rest of the family value you and all that you have experienced. Love, CUT OUT, SIGN & GIVE TO YOUR GRANDPARENT & PARENT BEFORE YOUR INTERVIEW. The Kid Kit Dear Mom/Dad, Thank you for giving me this idea and for helping me to set up my interviews with my grandparent! Could you please: • Let me use one of the family’s smart phones or tablets to record my interviews? I am told that using two might be even better (just in case something goes wrong with one). • Find a few old photos of your parents that I can show them to prompt memories? • Suggest some questions I might ask that you know will spark good stories from your parent(s)? • Help me figure out how to transcribe the interview after it is done? Thank you!! Love, personal use only. -

c Copyright 2013 Alexander Jaffe Understanding Game Balance with Quantitative Methods Alexander Jaffe A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: James R. Lee, Chair Zoran Popovi´c,Chair Anna Karlin Program Authorized to Offer Degree: UW Computer Science & Engineering University of Washington Abstract Understanding Game Balance with Quantitative Methods Alexander Jaffe Co-Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Professor James R. Lee CSE Professor Zoran Popovi´c CSE Game balancing is the fine-tuning phase in which a functioning game is adjusted to be deep, fair, and interesting. Balancing is difficult and time-consuming, as designers must repeatedly tweak parameters and run lengthy playtests to evaluate the effects of these changes. Only recently has computer science played a role in balancing, through quantitative balance analysis. Such methods take two forms: analytics for repositories of real gameplay, and the study of simulated players. In this work I rectify a deficiency of prior work: largely ignoring the players themselves. I argue that variety among players is the main source of depth in many games, and that analysis should be contextualized by the behavioral properties of players. Concretely, I present a formalization of diverse forms of game balance. This formulation, called `restricted play', reveals the connection between balancing concerns, by effectively reducing them to the fairness of games with restricted players. Using restricted play as a foundation, I contribute four novel methods of quantitative balance analysis. I first show how game balance be estimated without players, using sim- ulated agents under algorithmic restrictions. -

With the introduction of modern apple Malus domestica cultivars, from foreign and national breeding programs, the use of local cultivars decreased during the 20th SNP array century. In order to minimize genetic erosion and avoid loss of special genotypes, a number of local clonal Genotyping archives were established across Sweden, with the goal of retaining old and local cultivars. About 220 apple Pedigree cultivars, appointed for preservation, obtained the status of mandate cultivars. Initially, they were identified Gene bank based on pomological traits, but prior to the establishment of the Swedish Central Collection they were geno- Local cultivars SSR markers typed with simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. SSR markers helped to evaluate the status of the preserved material, as well as to find the best possible true-to-type source for propagation, thus guiding the establishment of the Central Collection. -
