Unless you are setting the OCR to downsample a 300dpi page to 150dpi while performing the OCR. In which case you should set the OCR downsample to match the actual page dpi. But honestly if the PDF consists pages that are just images, you should extract them in Photoshop, and reduce the resolution to 150dpi with the bicubic sharper option (Does a better job of downsampling than Acrobat), save to PNG, and recreate the PDF, then OCR @ 150dpi. £0\/3 ¥Oµ! - - - A Hard To Find Game www an onfi les cc/file/3afdbf1484a673a0e5a0c9a2e32c0d3b Recent Shares Collection Archive of what gets shared in each of these threads.

  • SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)
    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.

  • Rollspel Som Fritids. Rapp 9 97.Pmd
    ROLLSPEL SOM FRITIDSSYSSELSÄTTNING 9UNGDOMSSTYRELSEN9 RAPPORTERAR 1 Förord Rollspel är en snabbt växande ungdomsrörelse. Idag intresserar sig drygt 21 000 ungdomar för denna fritidssysselsättning. Den kom från USA till Sverige på 80-talet. Framförallt är det pojkar som ägnar sig åt rollspel. Under senare år har en stundtals intensiv debatt i medierna hand- lat om eventuella samband mellan vissa våldshandlingar och rollspelande. Massmediadebatten har lett till ett flertal motioner i riksdagen som ifrågasatt att den ungdomsorganisation som or- ganiserar rollspelande ungdomar, Sveriges Roll- och Konfliktspels- förbund (SVEROK), får statligt stöd för sin verksamhet. Eftersom rollspel engagerar en stor och växande grupp ungdomar är det viktigt för Ungdomsstyrelsen att följa verksamheten och förmedla fakta om rollspel som fritidssysselsättning. Rapporten har ambitionen att ge ett perspektiv på rollspelen och ge underlag för diskussioner. Rollspel som fritidssysselsättning har sammanställts av utrednings- chef Martin Börjesson och informationschef Birgitta Myrman och är i huvudsak baserad på ”Rollspel – en kartläggning av fritids- rollspelandet och dess betydelser” (PM Ungdomsstyrelsen 1996- 05-31) av Thomas Öhlund.

  • Discovering by Analysis: Harry Potter and Youth Fantasy
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 459 865 IR 058 417 AUTHOR Center, Emily R. TITLE Discovering by Analysis: Harry Potter and Youth Fantasy. PUB DATE 2001-08-00 NOTE 38p.; Master of Library and Information Science Research Paper, Kent State University. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses (040) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Adolescent Literature; *Childrens Literature; *Fantasy; Fiction; Literary Criticism; *Reading Material Selection; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS *Harry Potter; *Reading Lists ABSTRACT There has been a recent surge in the popularity of youth fantasy books; this can be partially attributed to the popularity of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Librarians and others who recommend books to youth are having a difficult time suggesting other fantasy books to those who have read the Harry Potter series and want to read other similar fantasy books, because they are not as familiar with the youth fantasy genre as with other genres. This study analyzed a list of youth fantasy books and compared them to the books in the Harry Potter series, through a breakdown of their fantasy elements (i.e., fantasy subgenres, main characters, secondary characters, plot elements, and miscellaneous elements) .Books chosen for the study were selected from lists of youth fantasy books recommended to fantasy readers and others that are currently in print. The study provides a resource for fantasy readers by quantifying the elements of the youth fantasy books, as well as creating a guide for those interested in the Harry Potter books. It also helps fill a gap in the research of youth fantasy. Appendices include a youth fantasy reading list, the coding sheet, data tables, and final annotated book list.(Contains 10 references and 9 tables.)(Author/MES) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

Garréta, Supervisor, Chair ___________________________ Robyn Wiegman, Co-Chair ___________________________ Rey Chow ___________________________ Anne Allison An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Literature in the Graduate School of Duke University 2018 Copyright by Jui-an Chou 2018 Abstract “Between Boys: Fantasy of Male Homosexuality in Boys’ Love, Mary Renault, and Marguerite Yourcenar” examines an unexpected kinship between Boys’ Love, a Japanese male-on-male romance genre, and literary works by Mary Renault and Marguerite Yourcenar, two mid-twentieth century authors who wrote about male homosexuality. Following Eve Sedgwick, who proposed that a “rich tradition of cross- gender inventions of homosexuality” should be studied separately from gay and lesbian literature, this dissertation examines male homoerotic fictions authored by women. These fictions foreground a disjunction between authorial and textual identities in gender and sexuality, and they have often been accused of inauthenticity, appropriation, and exploitation.
