Book excerpt: What's the point of a game? Do we play for the emotion, for the power, or is it all about the glory of knowing you've won the prize? For senior executive Adire Black the game is not only about the win, but about control. Everything in her life has its proper place and proper order. That includes her...men. Adire or A.B. to her friends, is back in Boston after a long absence. She's called in to help with a PR problem with Gravin Oil Company & Industries, when she meets the owner. A tall, persistent, Texan who doesn't know how to play by her rules, but insists that he wants to learn how. For Davis Mills, the Texas billionaire and the mogul at the head of Gravin Oil, the game is all about winning. Even though he is more inclined to be on his ranch back home then too stuck in an office in Boston, he will get his Grandfathers Company back it its glorious reputation. But, when he meets the strong, seductive Ms. Black, all thoughts turn to how to captivate this woman who is all too happy to turn the tables on him. What happens when a Dominatrix meets a strong Alfa male? And just who will win the power struggle of submission?
Download or read book Domination Games Played on Graphs written by Boštjan Brešar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise monograph present the complete history of the domination game and its variants up to the most recent developments and will stimulate research on closely related topics, establishing a key reference for future developments. The crux of the discussion surrounds new methods and ideas that were developed within the theory, led by the imagination strategy, the Continuation Principle, and the discharging method of Bujtás, to prove results about domination game invariants. A toolbox of proof techniques is provided for the reader to obtain results on the domination game and its variants. Powerful proof methods such as the imagination strategy are presented. The Continuation Principle is developed, which provides a much-used monotonicity property of the game domination number. In addition, the reader is exposed to the discharging method of Bujtás. The power of this method was shown by improving the known upper bound, in terms of a graph's order, on the (ordinary) domination number of graphs with minimum degree between 5 and 50. The book is intended primarily for students in graph theory as well as established graph theorists and it can be enjoyed by anyone with a modicum of mathematical maturity. The authors include exact results for several families of graphs, present what is known about the domination game played on subgraphs and trees, and provide the reader with the computational complexity aspects of domination games. Versions of the games which involve only the “slow” player yield the Grundy domination numbers, which connect the topic of the book with some concepts from linear algebra such as zero-forcing sets and minimum rank. More than a dozen other related games on graphs and hypergraphs are presented in the book. In all these games there are problems waiting to be solved, so the area is rich for further research. The domination game belongs to the growing family of competitive optimization graph games. The game is played by two competitors who take turns adding a vertex to a set of chosen vertices. They collaboratively produce a special structure in the underlying host graph, namely a dominating set. The two players have complementary goals: one seeks to minimize the size of the chosen set while the other player tries to make it as large as possible. The game is not one that is either won or lost. Instead, if both players employ an optimal strategy that is consistent with their goals, the cardinality of the chosen set is a graphical invariant, called the game domination number of the graph. To demonstrate that this is indeed a graphical invariant, the game tree of a domination game played on a graph is presented for the first time in the literature.

Download or read book Domination Basics written by Drawk Kwast and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2010-12-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows a blatant disregard for social acceptability as it instructs readers toward one simple goal: total domination. It's egotistical, sexist, narcissistic, and completely practical. These are the secrets of the alpha male, and throughout the centuries, they have been the only real path to money, women, and power. If you've tried everything else, it may be time to use what actually works. Introduction In every generation there are two groups. There are the masses. For them, the world is chaotic and painful. They live most of their lives knowing something is wrong but not knowing how to fix it. Their battle cry is one of weak mediocrity. They are neither satisfied nor rested. Their biggest fear is that they will die nothing more than the sum of their failures and frustrations. There is another group. They are the elite, the Alphas. They understand the universe as an equation. They get it. They are free in all the ways that others are not because they are free of fear. Everything is in abundance for them. They have the friends you want. They have the jobs you want. They have the cars you want parked in front of the houses you wish you owned. They experience the life you want while surrounded by the women you want. All the things you dream about, they know how to get - easier, faster, and smarter than you can. At the end of every day, they sleep with ease, looking forward to the next day's adventures. Which group are you a member of? What if you had a choice? This book will give you that choice. Inside You Will Discover... Part 1: Social Basics Being the envy of those around you How you choose to see yourself and those around you dictates how you assign value. We are going to stack the deck in your favor by preventing you from sabotaging your own value and stopping you from over-inflating the value of those around you. With these skills, you can thrive in any social environment. Part 2: Business Basics Failure and other necessary ingredients for success This is your guide for maneuvering when things periodically and inevitably go wrong in the business world. Where most men become paralyzed, you will become stronger. This is the art of building today's success out of yesterday's failures. Part 3: Power Basics Understanding the source and nature of your power The source and nature of your power is no great secret, yet most men will never understand these concepts because they expect complex answers. By accepting the truths you didn't expect, and taking action on a plan that is deceptively simple, you will gain power far beyond what you thought possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From James Dashner, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series, comes the final book in the Mortality Doctrine series, an edge-of-your-seat cyber-adventure trilogy that includes The Eye of Minds and The Rule of Thoughts. Includes a sneak peek of The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated conclusion to the Maze Runner series—the novel that finally reveals how the maze was built! Michael used to live to game, but the games he was playing have become all too real. Only weeks ago, sinking into the Sleep was fun. The VirtNet combined the most cutting-edge technology and the most sophisticated gaming for a full mind-body experience. And it was Michael’s passion. But now every time Michael sinks, he risks his life. The games are over. The VirtNet has become a world of deadly consequences, and Kaine grows stronger by the day. The Mortality Doctrine—Kaine’s master plan—has nearly been realized, and little by little the line separating the virtual from the real is blurring. If Kaine succeeds, it will mean worldwide cyber domination. And it looks like Michael and his friends are the only ones who can put the monster back in the box—if Michael can figure out who his friends really are. The author who brought you the #1 New York Times bestselling MAZE RUNNER series and two #1 movies—The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials—now brings you an electrifying cyber-adventure trilogy that takes you into a world of hyperadvanced technology, cyber terrorists, and gaming beyond your wildest dreams . . . and your worst nightmares.

Download or read book Positional Games written by Dan Hefetz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is based on a lecture course given by the authors in the framework of Oberwolfach Seminars at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in May, 2013. It is intended to serve as a thorough introduction to the rapidly developing field of positional games. This area constitutes an important branch of combinatorics, whose aim it is to systematically develop an extensive mathematical basis for a variety of two player perfect information games. These ranges from such popular games as Tic-Tac-Toe and Hex to purely abstract games played on graphs and hypergraphs. The subject of positional games is strongly related to several other branches of combinatorics such as Ramsey theory, extremal graph and set theory, and the probabilistic method. These notes cover a variety of topics in positional games, including both classical results and recent important developments. They are presented in an accessible way and are accompanied by exercises of varying difficulty, helping the reader to better understand the theory. The text will benefit both researchers and graduate students in combinatorics and adjacent fields.

Download or read book Quest for World Domination written by Stephan A. Dzerovych and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 26, 1991, the United States clearly became the only Superpower in the world. Having triumphed over Communism, the United States was confident it could export its vision of liberal democracy, in which individual rights and freedom under the rule of law are protected, to the rest of the world. The United States preoccupation with Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan for the past 30 years to instill a measure of democracy in these countries allowed Russia and China time to strengthen their positions in the world. The book describes the uphill battle the US now wages against Russia and China for world domination.
Download or read book Conquering the Game of Control written by Craig A. Green and published by Destiny Image Incorporated. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quit playing the game! All humans, by nature, are doomed to play an unwinnable game which looks remarkably like the harmless game of Rock/Paper/Scissors, but is, in reality, played out with the weapons of domination, manipulation, and intimidation. For those who want to learn to let go of the reins of control so they can be put in the hands of one who is infinitely more capable, the Lord, this book will be both enlightening and beneficial. Like the game of Rock/Paper/Scissors, there are no real winners; only victims who feel crushed, cut, or covered by the process--or ominously empowered by it. What is the solution? To quit playing the game altogether! How? By recognizing and repenting of the game-playing. God does not "play the game"--indeed, control is not in Him at all. Through Him, humans can be transformed until the game of control gives way to a life of mutual submission--the dance of relationship rather than the dissonance of control.
