Description

This book describes techniques for improving mental abilities. Some of the things it can help you to achieve include the following: Depending on circumstances, use different lifestyles that improve one or another mental function.Experience euphoria without drugs and come up with new ideas, when needed.Slow down and prevent yourself from making rash, impulsive decisions, when necessary.Sharpen your wit, become more talkative, and entertain people.When necessary, lower your mood and increase emotional tension, which can reduce procrastination.Increase your score on intelligence or general aptitude tests.Concentrate on reading and writing for many hours daily.Increase your grade point average if you are a student or improve your job productivity if you are a knowledge worker.Get along with people and live without arguments and conflicts.     The proposed methods are brief cooling or heating of the body (water thera- py) and three different "smart diets," each suitable for a different type of task. The text also describes a "depressant diet," which is not a smart diet but can im- prove self-control and sleep. Readers don't need to use the strict diets on a per- manent basis and the book recommends the conventional food pyramid most of the time. The text also discusses several useful social skills and studying/writing techniques as well as the role of luck in personal achievement.      Most authors in this field will tell you that you should read more books, solve mental puzzles, buy their nutritional supplements, sleep well, and exercise in or- der to get smarter. In contrast, this book is proposing moderately cold hydrother- apy and a smart diet (which involves avoiding all dietary supplements). To give another example, most books on anger management say that you should try to change your thinking in order to overcome anger, while this book suggests hot hydrotherapy and the exclusion of certain foods from your diet. The main focus of discussion in this text is on changing the biological workings of the brain, not on pop psychology. In particular, the book describes various combinations of diets and hydrotherapy that have the following effects: sedative/sleep-promoting, stimulant/wakefulness-promoting, attention-enhancing, antianxiety, antidepres- sant, mood-stabilizing (mood-lowering), and euphoriant. In addition, the book presents existing scientific evidence of pain-reducing, fever-reducing, anti- fatigue, immunostimulatory, antinausea, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory effects of hydrotherapy. The text also discusses the possible side effects of the diets and hydrotherapy.      Despite its technical content, the book is written in an accessible language and has an informative summary for each chapter and a list of key points at the end of each section. The book supports most of the claims in the bulleted list above with a theory and the author's personal experience (a healthy subject). Previously published scientific studies directly support about a half of these claims, including the claim about intelligence tests. The author's academic transcripts and test scores have been documented and can be verified independently.

This special Game of the Year edition takes the action even further with the inclusion of all four of the downloadable content releases for the game, as well as a fold-out map of all the Borderlands Pandoran territories. Story In a distant future, the planets at the outer edges of the galaxy have become a beacon to fortune seekers and those yearning for a better life off world, but there are no guarantees in deep space. Pandora, one of these distant planets, was reported to be rich in untapped mineral wealth, and so drew many hoping to get rich quick, but in the end little was found beyond the scattered ruins of a past alien civilization. With nothing to gain, any who could soon abandoned Pandora, leaving those who remained to deal with the lawlessness of a world gone bust, and the mystery of the long-dead alien civilization. But as chaotic as these times were, there were worse days yet to come. After several years the planet's huge orbit slowly brought it near to its sun and once unknown and horrifying creatures sprang from their long hibernation to terrify the stranded colonists. The only hope of the colonists seems to be a vault discovered in a mountainside, rumored to contain alien technology and secrets about Pandora. Will this discovery be the colonist's salvation or their end? Discover their fate in Borderlands. FPS/RPG hybrid gameplay. View larger. Literally thousands of weapons. View larger.

Playable Characters Borderlands features several playable characters, each with its own unique backstory, abilities and skills. Skills can be leveled up, allowing for improvement of things like health, accuracy with weapons and capacity for items. In addition to this, characters possess unique skill tree development, ensuring that each will develop differently regardless of time spend leveling them up.

Borderlands Game of the Year Edition for PC A copy of the standard Borderlands game for PC All Borderlands DLC add-ons packs available to date Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned - Originally released as a digital content download, action in it is centered in the town and surrounding areas of Jacob's Cove, which is on the fictional Jakobs Corporation owned Island unofficially named Zombie Island. Here players are tasked with the completion of 20 exclusive Borderlands missions, involving the zombie infestation of the island, as well as various optional side quests. As the name of the island suggests, players will be kept busy honing their skills at killing zombies, zombie bosses and the other undead beings as efficiently as possible. In-game money is earned for these kills and available weapons come both in the form of randomly generated weapons and unique items taken off defeated bosses. The level of undead action experienced is directly tied to players' progression within the single player campaign within the main game, making for gameplay closely tied to the main game, and a zombie fest not to be missed. Borderlands: Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot - Borderlands: Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot is the second add-on pack for Borderlands re-released on disc following initial availability via digital download. Designed with a Mad Mad Thunderdome ethic and feel, action here occurs within a series of spaces known as riot arenas where the changing rules, commentary and mood are provided entirely at the whim of the over-the-top and seductive ringmistress, Moxxi. Within the matches, both single player against AI and multiplayer player, players rack up kills using a variety of weapons and shields, earning themselves skill points and in-game loot that can be stored at an in-game bank. Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx - Borderlands goes to 11! You may have seen some games raise their level cap by 5, or maybe even 10, but with The Crimson Lance Assassination Squads wreaking havoc and Crawmerax the Invincible being all invulnerable and stuff we knew you'd need more than just 10. And that's why Borderlands goes to ELEVEN. The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is an add-on pack for Borderlands that adds new guns, new class mods, new vehicles, new missions, new enemy types, and increases the level cap to 61. In other words...best add-on ever. Of all time. Forever. Borderlands: Claptrap's New Robot Revolution - To combat second hand sales of used munitions among greedy, haggling treasure hunters on Pandora, the Hyperion Corporation have decided to activate the Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap. Instead, it has organized all of the claptraps into a revolution, and they've been assimilating all life on Pandora and converting them into claptraps. With our heroes caught in the middle, they must stop the Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap in order to release his control over all of Pandora's claptraps and collect their reward, of course. The pack adds 21 missions, 10 new skill points, three additional backpack slots and raises the level cap to 69.

Description

ItzaZoo is a novel drawing game where the animals in the zoo can't wait to play. What kid doesn't love a trip to the zoo? They get a kick out of looking at the penguins waddle around their habitat, watching the lions roughhouse, and taking in polar bear feeding time. But looking at animals doesn't satisfy a kid's sense of adventure. Kids dream of jumping into the exhibit to monkey around with the monkeys! ItzaZoo fulfills this dream in a playful and educational way. For the first time, it is your child's very own drawings that create a magical, interactive play experience between themselves and the most adorable zoo animals. Children develop a strong bond with the animals because of the loving attention given to each animal's moods and circumstance. In the polar bear playset, children are asked to remove the bear's diving mask which he needs while swimming underwater. His facial expression changes and children can tell that he is holding his breath. Then when the mask is placed back on his face, he smiles. Gameplay The game comes with five zoo-themed playsets. Each playset is home to an adorable boy or girl lion, elephant, monkey, turtle, or polar bear. The animal asks the player to draw objects they want. If the player chooses to draw the object, drawing paper comes up and the player uses the mouse to draw the object the animal asked for. Players use their mouse to draw the object the animal asks for. There are many objects each animal will ask for. The game recognizes what the player is drawing and transforms the drawing into the focus of whimsical and wacky interactions with the animal. When the player draws the sun in the Polar Bear playset, all the penguins put on sunglasses. In the Elephant playset, the Elephant is eager to show off its ability to balance on a ball--but what happens if the shape of the ball is a triangle? Or a star? Or a square? The monkey wants its playmate to draw it a hammock to sleep in. Little does it know the player can pull the hammock they drew back and fling the monkey high into the air only to watch it count ten clouds as it floats down. As players draw items like enough balloons to float the elephant's tent into the sky, or a greenhouse for the turtle, they're working toward collecting stars. In order to unlock the next playset, children must earn five stars. Your child's drawings create an interactive play experience between themselves and the zoo animals. Click above screenshots to enlarge. Creative Problem Solving It takes some thinking and exploring to earn a star. Players must use their creative problem solving skills. For example, in the elephant playset, a star can be earned by watering flowers. The first step is to draw a rain cloud, then click on the cloud to make it rain and fill the bucket. As they water the flowers, the water level in the bucket goes down. If it empties before the task of watering the flowers is complete, then children must figure out that they'll need to make it rain again, in order to fill up the bucket and complete the task Engages Children in Reading For early readers, ItzaZoo offers a new approach to learning to read. Instructional bubbles pop up throughout the game, giving sentences that ask for tasks to complete or give hints. Players who can't read a word can mouse over any word, and it will turn red and a child's voice will read the word aloud. Visitor Challenges are the ultimate reading challenge. As players earn trophies by winning stars, more visitors are attracted to the exhibit. Once a silver trophy is earned, Visitor Challenges are unlocked. The visitor challenges the player to get their animal to perform certain actions, such as dancing with a snowman or slipping on a banana peel. These timed challenges feature more difficult vocabulary, and are more challenging to complete. Since they are intended as a bonus level, there is no reading assistance available. If the player is successful, the visitor takes a picture that causes an eye-popping flash and the player earns a camera point. Players don't need to stress out if they cannot earn camera points. Forward progress is based on Star Challenges--all of which have a loving support system for our early readers. For early readers, ItzaZoo offers a new approach to learning to read. Click above screenshots to enlarge. The best part of ItzaZoo, like its predecessor ItzaBitza, is that it doesn't compromise on fun. Children lose interest in other educational games quickly because those games aren't designed as games, they're designed as educational tools, and fun seems to be an afterthought. The new learning method fused into ItzaBitza and ItzaZoo was developed after a multi-year research project that began at Microsoft Corporation. The end result is a really fun game that teaches children important work-life skills, such as creative problem solving and reading.

Features

• Children jump inside a zoo exhibit, where the animals are friendly and ready to play. With Living Ink--a unique drawing recognition technology--kids draw objects that magically become the center of action within the game.
• Children start by playing with a lion. As they solve challenges they get to play with monkeys, elephants, turtles and polar bears in the animal's exhibit playsets. Each playset is packed with fun challenges.
• Improves reading and creative problem solving for early readers. Fused into the game design are results from a research project conducted at Microsoft Corporation on new methods to engage children learning to read.
• If an early reader does not know a word, they can mouse over the word, which turns it red and a child's voice reads the word aloud. Parents will delight in their child's blossoming self-confidence.
• The Zoo playsets get as wacky as a child's imagination can make them. And the game is different each time the children play since the zoo playset is made up of the personal drawings of the player.
