Today a multinational video game developer, Sega was the first to break Nintendo’s grip on the gaming industry, expanding from primarily an arcade game company to become the dominant game console manufacturer in North America. A major part of that success came from the hard work and innovation of its subsidiary, Sega of America, who in a little more than a decade wrested the majority market share from Nintendo and revolutionized how games were made. Drawing on interviews with nearly 100 Sega alumni, this book traces the development of the company, revealing previously undocumented areas of game-making history, including Sega’s relationship with Tonka, the creation of its internal studios, and major breakthroughs like the Sega Channel and HEAT Network. More than 40 of the company’s most influential games are explored in detail.

'The Next Level' is an autobiography about my life journey. When people look at me and my life from the outside, they say man, "VT has it all"; this guy actually lived the American dream. When people look at me, they see me smiling almost all the time, always with a positive attitude, always with a "glass half full" outlook on everything. But what people don't see is the bad dreams I still have to this day due to events that occurred while I was growing up. No one will ever understand the pain and regret I have inside due to my past...things that will haunt me until the day I die! Yeah, that ole cliche is so true: "The grass is not always greener on the other side." You will read about a young man that went up against some insurmountable odds to save his family and in the process, achieve a childhood dream. If I had to choose a few words to describe my story, they would have to be... sadness, embarrassment, heartbreaking, guilt, regret, anger, fear, determination, triumph and relief. This project was one of the most difficult things I have ever done because it forced me to remember things I had buried in my mind (and heart) for over 30 years. There are some events in this book that my own siblings are not aware of. I truly hope that my book connects with each and every one of you in an inspiring way. Looking back now, I can truly say that I lived an amazing life; it's the kind of life story that needs to be shared! If my story can help one person, then writing 'The Next Level' was worth it!

"THE NEXT LEVEL: A GAME I HAD TO PLAY" is an unbelievable story based on the memoirs of the same name by former NFL player, Vernon Turner. The true story traces a plot that could not possibly be invented, because of the inordinate amounts of horrific tragedy, severe obstacles, and later, incredible inspiration. Vernon is born into poverty and learns at an early age the root of his mother's spiral into drug-addicted prostitution: his own conception, which came at the hands of a brutal gang rape. Although possessed of a small frame, he discovers the game of football as a means of escape from his cruel surroundings. Along the way, the premature deaths of his beloved mother and stepfather provide immense challenges in terms of keeping his family together. Through intense workouts, the nurturing influence of a series of coaches and Administrators, and inspirational brushes with legends Bo Jackson and Walter Payton, Vernon transcends his diminutive size by developing truly blazing speed. Notwithstanding an all-star high school career, he is not highly recruited and must go away to a small school, monitoring the affairs of his family from afar. History repeats itself in college, as an all-star career dotted by championships won does not lead to being drafted and the resulting financial security he is trying to earn to save his family. At the pro level, he falls short of making the Denver Broncos team his rookie year, but he does capture the attention of the Buffalo Bills, thus landing a spot on their practice squad; and, while deactivated for the majority of the season, he still earns an AFC Championship ring in 1990. Still, lasting success is elusive, as he bounces around for a few years, typecast by his size. He bottoms out in a Detroit stint in which the fleeting success he tastes is quickly snuffed out by a head coach who plays favorites with higher-pedigree athletes. Utterly discouraged by this turn of events, he finds himself being given an opportunity by a team desperate enough to trust talent regardless of its small package: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Upon being given a real opportunity for the first time, he breaks the club's 18-year drought of never having a punt or kickoff returned for a touchdown and finally has the kind of season that leads to a contract that can help save his family. Turner's defining moment comes in Tampa Bay, when he returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown -- the first regular-season punt return for a TD in Buccaneer history. The electrifying play was made even sweeter because it came against a team that released him a year before, the Detroit Lions. This memoir is a brutally honest and inspiring look back on the life of one of Staten Island's greatest football heroes... and greatest men!

Regardless of what society tells us, we were created to be totally dependent upon God physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The problem is we have put ourselves at the center of our lives and moved God out to the periphery as we try to satisfy all of our desires and ambitions. Only after life begins to "hit the fan" do we realize that "something" is missing. Unfortunately, as powerless human beings we continue to substitute the yearning in our hearts for spiritual and emotional needs with the acquisition of worldly possessions. However, the gnawing emptiness within not only remains, it turns us numb as we continue our search for more of life's gusto. Developing physical, emotional, and spiritual reflex responses is critical to a purpose filled life. To those who feel there is a more fulfilling way to live, let these tips be your playbook for both games. A former golf professional and golf coach, Bill Carlucci resides in Connecticut with his wife Maria of 30 years and two daughters Emily, 24 and Leah, 18. He has played a strong role with the Chamber of Commerce and the Southwest Area (CT) Commerce and Industry Association. He is a past member of the Board of Directors of both Stamford Hospice and the Stamford Youth Foundation. Bill received training in Christian Care-giving, Christ Care Small Group Leadership and as a Prison Fellowship volunteer. He is both a licensed and ordained member of the clergy Bill's ministry is to train people of all ages to manage life using the same mental focus and strategies used in golf. The ministry uses the unifying relationship building opportunities golf provides to break down denominational and racial walls currently standing in the way of unity among Christians.

A comprehensive, physiology-based guide to peak performance for active women approaching or experiencing menopause—from the author of Roar, renowned exercise and nutrition scientist Dr. Stacy Sims For active women, menopause hits hard. Overnight, your body doesn’t feel like the one you know and love anymore—you’re battling new symptoms, might be gaining weight, losing endurance and strength, and taking longer to bounce back from workouts that used to be easy. The things that have always kept you fit and healthy just seem to stop working the way they used to. But menopause doesn’t have to be the end of you kicking ass at the gym, on the trail, in the saddle, or wherever you work out. Once you understand your physiology, you can work with it—not against it—to optimize your performance. That’s where Stacy Sims, PhD comes in. In Next Level, you’ll learn the underlying causes of menopause: the hormonal changes that are causing all the symptoms you’re feeling, and their impact on your wellness and performance. Then, what you really came for—what to do about it. Inside you’ll find science-backed advice about training, nutrition, sleep and recovery and supplements, as well as sample exercise routines, meal plans, macronutrient planning charts, and case studies from real women Stacy has coached through the transition. It’s the ultimate guide to navigating the Next Level.

Developing computer games is a perfect way to learn how to program in modern programming languages. This book teaches how to program in C# through the creation of computer games – and without requiring any previous programming experience. Contrary to most programming books, van Toll, Egges, and Fokker do not organize the presentation according to programming language constructs, but instead use the structure and elements of computer games as a framework. For instance, there are chapters on dealing with player input, game objects, game worlds, game states, levels, animation, physics, and intelligence. The reader will be guided through the development of four games showing the various aspects of game development. Starting with a simple shooting game, the authors move on to puzzle games consisting of multiple levels, and conclude the book by developing a full-fledged platform game with animation, game physics, and intelligent enemies. They show a number of commonly used techniques in games, such as drawing layers of sprites, rotating, scaling and animating sprites, dealing with physics, handling interaction between game objects, and creating pleasing visual effects. At the same time, they provide a thorough introduction to C# and object-oriented programming, introducing step by step important programming concepts such as loops, methods, classes, collections, and exception handling. This second edition includes a few notable updates. First of all, the book and all example programs are now based on the library MonoGame 3.6, instead of the obsolete XNA Game Studio. Second, instead of explaining how the example programs work, the text now invites readers to write these programs themselves, with clearly marked reference points throughout the text. Third, the book now makes a clearer distinction between general (C#) programming concepts and concepts that are specific to game development. Fourth, the most important programming concepts are now summarized in convenient “Quick Reference” boxes, which replace the syntax diagrams of the first edition. Finally, the updated exercises are now grouped per chapter and can be found at the end of each chapter, allowing readers to test their knowledge more directly. The book is also designed to be used as a basis for a game-oriented programming course. Supplementary materials for organizing such a course are available on an accompanying web site, which also includes all example programs, game sprites, sounds, and the solutions to all exercises.

People play bridge for different reasons. Some play bridge because of their competitive nature. Others play for the social interaction. Still others do it for mental exercise and health reasons. Some do it for sheer fun and enjoyment. And many play bridge for a combination of all of these. Regardless of your reason(s) for playing bridge, I think it is not unreasonable to assume that you would like to play better and with greater consistency and, even if winning is not necessarily your sole objective per se, to prevail occasionally at the table. Bridge---From A to Z is not for the beginning bridge player. Nor will reading this book make you a bridge superstar overnight. But if you read it judiciously and put its principles into practice, it will enable you to make that critical breakthrough, and literally take your game to the next level! In Bridge---From A to Z, I have enumerated 26 fundamental bridge principles, one for each letter of the alphabet, as the title suggests. To reinforce these principles, I have included numerous instructive bridge hands, almost all of which are taken from actual duplicate competition. As most bridge players know, duplicate bridge is a game of skill. However, as in most games, the elements of luck (both good and bad) are there. You might play easy hands against strong players or difficult hands against weaker players, or just the opposite may be the case.. The opponents may give you gifts. Or they may fix you. These are things over which we have little or no control. Conversely, there are things over which we do have control. And these are the things I have emphasized in this book. One does not need to have a background in higher mathematics to be a good bridge player. Certainly, some innate analytical ability is a big plus. Famous fictional detectives, such as Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chan, and Ellery Queen, would probably have made great bridge players! But the things that are really important---listening, counting, focusing---are relatively simple to understand and execute. And the bottom line is that you have to do this yourself. No one---not a pro, a teacher, a mentor---can do them for you. In reading and absorbing the principles enumerated in Bridge---From A to Z, you will feel more confident in your own inherent ability to play bridge at a higher level. And in so doing, irrespective of your specific reason(s) for playing bridge, I believe you will derive more fun and enjoyment from this wonderful game we all love so much.
