Be a Gamer, Save the World by Jane McGonigal
1.     You could argue that the claim “gamers can save the world” is a bit of an OVERSTATEMENT. Why do you think Jane McGonigal uses this title in an essay on the benefits of playing computer and video games?
2.     At the end of paragraph 1, McGonigal’s CLAIM has been narrowed down to a more manageable (and defensible) topic. What is it?
3.     “Many critics consider such games a mind-numbing waste of time”. Referring to an opposing position like this in order to refute it is called “introducing a naysayer.” Where else in her ARGUMENT does McGonigal introduce naysayers? How effective is her use of this technique? Why do you say so?
4.     According to McGonigal, the number of hours that gamers worldwide have spent playing a single popular game “adds up to 5.93 million years” Point to the other places in her essay where McGonigal uses statistics like this to support her argument. How convincing do you find this EVIDENCE? Why?
5.     “Games,” says McGonigal, “provide us with the four ingredients that make for a happy and meaningful life”. What are those ingredients? How might someone like David Brooks (“What Suffering Does,”) respond to this claim?
6.     McGonigal closes her argument with a number of EXAMPLES. Which examples do you find most effective? Do they support the claim that gamers have already begun to “harness” the power of gaming “for real good”? Explain.

36 g of water at 30°C are converted into steam  at 250°C at constant atmospheric pressure. The specific heat of water is  assumed constant at 4.2 J/g K and the latent heat of vaporization at 100°C is  2260 J/g. For water vapour, assume pV = mRTwhereR = 0.4619 kJ/kg K, and
Cp/R  = a + bT + cT2, where a = 3.634,
b  = 1.195 × 10-3K-1 and c= 0.135 × 10-6K-2
Calculate the entropy change of the system.

After reading the APA Manual on Punctuation, summarize one of the sections and describe why you selected it, what did you learn from it, what might you use to remember to use it correctly, and provide an example of why it is essential.

To what particular qualities or skills does the author of the text attribute Simone Biles’s success? Similarly, which qualities might prove to be her own worst enemy? Cite examples of both in your response.
THE TEXT IS DOWN BELOW
The floor routine was all that stood between Simone Biles and her first all-around world championship. Biles smiled from ear to ear, revealing her braces. She was sixteen years old. She sprinted across the mat, effortlessly completing two somersaults and two twists in one leap, a double-double in gymnastics terms. She danced her way to another corner, tilted her chin up, and launched into something no one had ever seen before this event. Biles soared through the air, flipped twice, and landed on her feet, face-forward. The announcers on NBC described it as “a double layout with a half” twist. The crowd knew it as something else: The Biles, a maneuver so exceptional that it was named after her. It was her first major international competition, and Biles had crushed the rest of the field, largely because of a move she had created.

HEADER: “The Biles.”
DESCRIPTION: Color figures in the spectrum of colors from red through orange, yellow, green, blue and purple move from left to right along the x axis of the graph, showing the different positions in the move and highlighting with a dotted line the highest point, 9 feet 4 inches, that Biles reaches in this move. The figures from left to right, show: figure one, in red, “Run up”, Biles leaping forward with arms above her head; figures 2 to 4, “Roundoff,” Biles leaning toward the floor and putting her hands down, Biles inverted in a hand-stand position, Biles piking down with both feet; figures 5 and 6, “Back handspring”, Biles arching backwards and putting her hands on the floor, then snapping her legs over to the floor; figures 7 to 10, “Double layout with a half twist,” Biles leaping backwards into the air, flipping to an arched prone position high in the air, marked with a dotted line and with the text: “Biles reaches 9 feet 4 inches at the peak of her jump,”; the figure then floats downwards, inverted in the air and lands with bended knees; figures 11 and 12, “Stag leap” Biles closes the set with a leap with one leg extended in front and one behind her and a landing, feet together, back arched and arms stretched upwards.
A diagram showing Simone Biles’s one-of-a-kind floor routine maneuver, “The Biles.” The 2013 world championships marked Simone Biles’s arrival on the elite gymnastics scene. Four years later, her accolades include three all-around world championships, and four gold medals and one bronze at the 2016 Olympics. As Olympics teammate Aly Raisman told the New Yorker, “Simone’s just in her own league. Whoever gets second place, that’s the winner.” Biles is a once-in-a-generation athlete with limitless talent and a strong dedication to her sport. She is a gymnast like no other.
Beginnings
Were it not for some bad weather, Simone Biles might never have become a gymnast at all. When she was six years old, her daycare redirected an outdoor field trip to a gymnastics studio because of rain. Biles told ESPN that at the time she was a “very crazy, very hyper and energetic” girl capable of mimicking the more difficult moves of some of the older girls at the studio. This attracted the attention of the coaches in attendance. Soon after, she enrolled at Bannon’s Gymnastix in Houston. Like anyone starting out at a new sport, Biles struggled with the fundamentals. In a profile of Biles for Buzzfeed, Dvora Meyers wrote, “She isn’t naturally flexible and couldn’t find the right shapes on her leaps and jumps. She also didn’t know how to control her immense power, often bounding up and back several feet after landing tumbling passes. And on bars — the most technical event in the women’s repertoire — she lacked finesse.” By the time Biles was 16, though, she was a blossoming star.
During the years Biles was developing into an elite athlete, the sport of gymnastics was also changing. In the past, gymnastics was more about finesse than power, and the various competitions within it were graded on a 10-point scale. Many times, the winner of an event would score a perfect 10. That changed in 2006, when the points system split into two: an execution score and a difficulty score. The execution score is still out of 10 points and is awarded based on how well a gymnast performs a routine. The difficulty score awards additional points based on the rigor of the skills attempted during the routine.
Table. HEADER: 2016 Olympics, Women’s Gymnastics All Around Final, Vault. DESCRIPTION: Athlete: Simone Biles, Country: United States, Difficulty Score, Vault: 6.300, Execution Score, Vault: 9.566, Final Score, Vault: 15.866. Athlete: Aly Raisman, Country: United States, Difficulty Score, Vault: 6.300, Execution Score, Vault: 9.333, Final Score, Vault: 15.633. Athlete: Aliya Mustafina, Country: Russia, Difficulty Score, Vault: 5.800, Execution Score, Vault: 9.400, Final Score, Vault: 15.200.
A table comparing vault scores at the 2016 Olympics Women’s Gymnastics All-Around Final. The difficulty score aided Biles because the routines she performs are more challenging than what other gymnasts attempt. For example, prior to her floor routine at the all-around world championships in 2013, she was actually in second place, behind another American competitor, Kyla Ross. Biles’s floor program was more difficult than Ross’s, though. When Biles finished it with no errors she easily won the title.
Part of Biles’s natural talent also stems from her height or lack thereof. In some sports, height is an advantage, but gymnasts benefit from being shorter. From 2000-2012, the four all-around gold medal winners at the Olympics were between 5-foot and 5-foot-3. While that might seem short for most athletes, Biles stands at just 4 feet 8 inches. Her height bothered her as a child. As she told Women’s Health, “it was kind of a struggle being small since everyone would make fun of you,” but she’s glad she can show others that they can be “short or tall” and become the best.
