Yet there is almost no research on how to treat it.
Raise your hand if you've ever had horrible cramps during your period. raises hand Same. Period cramps were the reason I initially went on the pill, and it turns out I'm not even close to being alone in my pain. It's estimated that 9 out of 10 women suffer from menstrual cramps, and there is no specific cause.
Menstrual pain is caused by contractions in the uterus, and its medical name is dysmenorrhea. There are two types of dysmenorrhea: primary and secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain that doesn't have a cause.
Secondary dysmenorrhea is caused by another condition, like endometriosis, which is when cells that normally line the uterus grow outside of the uterus. This tissue continues to act as it normally would during your period — it thickens, breaks down, and bleeds with each menstrual cycle, but it has no way to exit your body, so it becomes trapped.
Your body reacts to this with inflammation and scar tissue, which can lead to blood-filled cysts on your ovaries and even infertility if the disease is left untreated. The most obvious symptom, however, is very severe menstrual cramps. There is no known cause for endometriosis, and also no solid treatment. They typically prescribe some sort of hormone to treat it (like the pill), but that doesn't always help. The problem is, there isn't nearly enough research being done, and many women with endometriosis go undiagnosed, or it takes forever for them to figure out why their cramps are so debilitating.
On average, it takes about 10 years from the initial endometriosis symptom (which could be as early as your first period) to get an accurate diagnosis of endometriosis. This is due to a lack of knowledge among the general public and medical community. Unfortunately, many endometriosis patients are misdiagnosed, usually many times, leading to unnecessary and inappropriate treatment.
Another problem is that there is no test for endometriosis, which means patients can't have their blood, urine, or saliva tested to confirm the disease. The only way to verify endometriosis is to undergo a diagnostic laparoscopy, which is a thin viewing tube similar to a telescope that gets passed through a small incision (cut) in the abdomen. I can't remember my doctor ever even suggesting this when I complained of period cramps so awful that I threw up from pain.
I remember sophomore year of high school, I was at driver's ed, and my cramps were so awful that I fainted on my way to the bathroom. Another time, I had to pull over my car to throw up from pain. A third time, in college, I had to miss class because I couldn't walk, and my professor didn't think my excuse was legit. Whenever I told my doctors, they were more likely to dismiss my period pain than look into it, and many women have had the same experience.
"I found out I have endometriosis this year, and I've been complaining about horrible cramps since I got my period 12 years ago," says Katie, 25. "I don't know why he didn't take it seriously, maybe because he's a guy and really didn't understand that my period cramps weren't normal, but my own mom told me I was being a baby."
Frank Tu, director of gynecological pain at NorthShore University HealthSystem, tells Quartz some physicians are taught that ibuprofen “should be good enough.” Well, ibuprofen doesn't do anything for my period cramps, I can tell you that for free.
So, with no known causes, inefficient treatments, no easy way to tell the difference between primary dysmenorrhea and endometriosis, and doctors completely dismissing pain, it seems medicine is really letting women down. We shouldn't be living in pain on a monthly basis, but until more research is conducted, the best thing you can do is bring up endometriosis to your doctor, if you think that you are one of the 180 million women suffering with it.

Decision Science News: So who are you guys and what is your scientific background?
REvolution: Well, at this point our team has grown and we have about 30 employees with diverse backgrounds, from bioinformatics to finance to core statistics and software engineering. However when we got started with REvolution, we were a group that had tremendous experience with high performance computing and building production software. Our first application with R was something called ParallelR , which enables users of R to seamlessly benefit from optimized performance by automatically running on multiple cores, servers, and clusters (we even have a cloud-based deployment). Our team today is a combination of employees and an extended community, from R community participants, to package developers, to researchers and related consultants.
Decision Science News: how did you get started working with R professionally?
Decision Science News: What’s so great about your R compared to the regular download?
REvolution: Well, we’re not competing with the “regular” download – we actively collaborate with the core team, and utilize the codebase. What we have done is on several fronts. First, we have added capability and functionality related to optimization and high performance. Second, we are adding specific support for the 64-bit Windows platforms (and other more obscure OS distributions). Third, we are actively working on an IDE, large data handling, and other interesting capabilities (stay tuned!).
In addition to these aspects, we have packaged REvolution R into a commercially supported distribution around which we also provide training and consulting services. It’s a fully supported product in the same spirit as, say, RedHat Linux.
Decision Science News: Is there any risk that getting ‘locked in’ to your distribution of R? What if your distribution goes away, will our code still run on vanilla R?
REvolution: We prefer to say “mandatory customer loyalty” than lock-in. (KIDDING!) Of course, “open source” is a big part of “commercial open source,” and users of REvolution R can run their codebase on vanilla R.

This lesson will focus on common Japanese particles as well as vocabulary. Particles are very important to the Japanese language. They appear before many verbs and often after the subject of the sentence.
Many sentences often use more than one particle. If you wanted to modify the above sentence to say, “I read books at the library,” you would actually use the particle を as well.
The place where the event takes place usually appears first in the sentence, but Japanese does not have really strict rules about sentence placement.
に and へ are both used to mean “to.” If you want to say you are going somewhere or returning somewhere, you need to use に or へ. Both particles signify movement.
Examples: わたしはうちにかえります。 I will return home. (You can also use e instead of ni here).
わたしはにほんへいきます。 I am going to Japan. (You can also use ni instead of e here).
Examples: くじにクラスがあります。. I have a class at nine.
In the above sentences, に cannot be replaced by へ.
The particle を is used to indicate the direct object of a sentence. Many verbs use this particle.
The particles for verbs stay the same regardless of what form the verb is in.
Below is a vocabulary list to help you form new sentences in Japanese.
*Note: For time words such as “tomorrow,” and “today,” you do not need to use a particle with the sentence (に).
Study the sentences below to become familiar with the new vocabulary.
I will eat dinner at a restaurant.
What will you do over the weekend?
I will not go to school on Tuesday.
I will read a magazine at home.
What time will you be returning?
I will go to sleep at 10.
I will watch television at home.
I read the newspaper in the morning.
I eat lunch at home.
I will listen to music this weekend.

Finally solved the problem of colour conformity between printing and weaving.
The materials and yarns are the same, which ensures perfect colour uniformity.
There are no dimensional problems nor does it form-size-shape.
The lasered hole may take the traditional round shape or rectangular or any other.
The manufacturing process is the same that generates a jacquard ribbon and can be customized as you wish in the colours and graphics.
As you prefer, can be supplied on roll, or cut to the extent required.
We do not exclude the possibility of supporting the customer in threading operations, closing the loop with ultrasonic welding or with a normal tie.
In the field closely related to packaging, the BUTTON BAG is a unique and distinctive accessory to insert spare buttons.
It consists of a customizable bag with appropriate logos, colours and sizes you prefer.
The production methods are two: the more classic and traditional involves the union of two parts, by sewing and subsequent insertion of the drawstring; the most advanced and hi-tech process, uses the tubular technique, which allows the loom to get the bag in one solution.
After that it can be finished with lasered button hole.
RFID technology is becoming more widespread and is extensively used also in the textile and clothing market.
Decatex has designed and developed a special type of bag to contain the tags.
One side is open to allow the customer to easily insert the diskette and the particular internal funnel structure, holds it to prevent the spill.
At a later stage the bag is sewn on the final product and sealed permanently.
The shape is normally rectangular, clearly adaptable to different shapes and sizes of RFID.
Like any other product manufactured by our company, can be customized with logos and graphics of your choice.

Definitely do not put any asterisks after the page numbers at the top of the page.
You want to keep the blank line after the page number because it helps the converter find the page number correctly. Without it, the converter doesn't do as well finding the page numbers, according to the info I have on it at least.
We were instructed to put a blank line after the page number, but I don't recall any instructions that we should preserve them by putting asterisks there and of all the Bookshare books I have downloaded I have never come across one with asterisks after the page numbers. So apparently the answer is no. That does raise the question, though, of why we should place blank lines after them. The conversion tool should just strip them out. I keep putting in the blank lines anyway though.
I know that the conversion tool strips blank lines in text but I have a quick question. When formatting/proofing a book, should we put asterisks after the page number if we move them to the top or just let it be?
Note: that after the chapter heading I have asterisks but not after the page number. So, am I suppose to put asterisks after the page numbers to preserve the blank line or not?

It’s been rather a busy month at FishPal HQ, our Marketing Director filming on the River Tay for Sky Sports Tight Lines and our latest star our Office Manager Tom Carter filming for Australian TV.
The series called Hook, Line and Sinker, based in Tasmania were let down at the last minute by a Tweed beat and a SOS call to office manager Tom resulted in FishTweed not only organising fishing but equipment from rods, reels, lines, flies, waders and accommodation.
Plans are to return next year to do a full feature of fishing in the Borders, including cashmere mills and places to visit for Australian viewers. We are also working with another Aussie TV company – it looks like the Tweed is popular with our fishing friends ‘down under’.
Our thanks must also go to The Borders Gunroom at St Boswells who provided all the equipment and the Teviot Smokery who were also able to showcase the smokery within the film.

THE FOLLOWING REVISED AND UPDATED REVIEW OF “LIFEBOAT” WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN FOR THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK BLOGATHON FOR ROB OF THE MOVIE PAGE “MOVIEROB.” ONCE AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY THANKS TO ROB FOR THE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE DONE SO.
Several survivors of a torpedoed ship find themselves in the same boat with one of the men who sunk it.
Yep. That’s Hitchcock plugging REDUCO! Obesity Slayer!
Iconic Director and Film Maestro, Alfred Hitchcock’s decision to call upon writer John Steinbeck (Of Mice and Men, Grapes of Wrath), with help from Jo Swerling and Ben Hecht, to pen the script for “Lifeboat” from 1944, paid off, immeasurably. If ever a film in Hitchcock’s oeuvre deserves the singular credit for being bold, inventive and sublimely profound in it’s cinematic efficiency, it’s “Lifeboat.” But unfortunately, another distinction about “Lifeboat” is that many don’t know it very well and don’t even consider it the definitive Hitchcock film, the honor which was left for later films in his career.
It is one of the few films that Hitchcock directed which utilizes only one locale, or set, for most of the film’s duration. Much like “Rope,” (which many think is a real-time film with no cuts, but is actually deceptively edited by using the back of actors covering the frame, because film cartridges only lasted about 20 minutes back then) and even “Psycho,” to an extent, Hitchcock builds suspense using a singular setting and focusing on a small band of dynamic characters, all readily used and ripe for his manipulations.
So, obviously, all of the fantastic elements that Director Alfred Hitchcock used and honed so well during his reign in films are on full display here in this overlooked and oft-underappreciated 1944 war drama. “Lifeboat,” written by John Steinbeck, who had a somewhat tumultuous dealing with his prior film effort, the doc named “The Forgotten Village” and even Colliers Magazine, the drama tells of a wartime maritime disaster that thrusts a diverse band of strangers together. From a Radio Operator to a U-Boat Captain, among a tapestry of others, all brought in tandem to, of all places …a small, rickety and claustrophobic lifeboat.
“Lifeboat” features a diverse and incredible cast that consists of the prodigious Tallulah Bankhead (Devil and the Deep, A Royal Scandal), Hume Cronyn (Hamlet, Cleopatra, Cocoon), William Bendix (Detective Story, The Deep Six), Mary Anderson and the wonderfully unique Austrian actor Walter Slezak from “Treasure Island” and “Black Beauty” fame. These actors all have an amazing plexus on-screen and the impressive cob-web intrigue that happens all between them in incredible and thought provoking.
Within the confines of the Lifeboat, with the difficult framing of all of them (DP Arthur Miller, who shot “The Gunfighter,” in 1951, fell ill and was replaced by Glen MacWilliams) in so many tight spots is where this film really shines. Say what you will about the propaganda, message and tone, the movie excels when Hitchcock and Steinbeck explore the actual living microcosm in the lifeboat that James Cameron also attempted to scrutinize, with debatable success with the bigger budgeted “Titanic” from 1997.
The film takes place on one lonely set (An actual large water tank, set up by the studio). The lifeboat itself. The ocean, a set onto itself, as well, is expansive and extremely menacing. It is shown using some really well done rear projection. The characters while enduring the harshness of the open ocean in their limited setting, distrust the U-Boat Captain who does not seem to understand or comprehend them, but has a keen way with navigating the lifeboat on the treacherous open sea. As they get hungry, thirsty and desperate the paranoia and conflicts surely increase.
Here, Hitchcock really flexes those filmic muscles and ratches up the suspense as we get to know each of the character’s flaws, motivations and fears. One survivor even claims to be holding a small bundle which she thinks is her dead baby in a very morbid but real approach to the theme and horror of maritime death which was bold for 1944.
In a very telling and awe-inducing moment, when the tricky Walter Slezak eventually reveals that he is indeed a Nazi is when things really go sour. It is a very manipulative machination that Hitchcock always takes advantage of in many of his films: The reveal of a dark secret. It is a thematic play that he can only do in that accurate and profound fashion. The film then becomes, shocking, thrilling and even thoroughly cerebral as it teaches and explores astute lessons about fear, paranoia and survival. What is also very important, here, is the tangible but delicate trust that is also formed by these survivors in this harsh environment.
Despite it’s being overlooked by faster and more pumped up films like “North by Northwest” and “Vertigo,” it is “Lifeboat” that provides the high drama (dare I say melodrama in some places?) and heart felt emotion that films about maritime disasters evoke. The Mother asking for the whereabouts of her son is a stunning piece of histrionic art that still resonates on a hermetic and erudite level.
Hitchcock wonderfully controls the environment with wonderful medium close ups and perfect composition. The film was to be shot in color (Technicolor), of course, but then Hitchcock was urged to save some money and cut some corners to accommodate the salaries of the actors. It works in it’s favor, because the movie, with it’s atmospheric photography, garners a favorable palette with it’s solitary and exclusive lack of color, giving it an oceanic type of dullness and morositivity. What brings it all to life is the performances, especially Bankhead, who carries the film with a surprising amount of restraint and precision that most actresses have shied away from since Hollywood’s golden era. I would have loved to have been a fly on that wall during rehearsals.
You may have noticed that I have intentionally left out details and spoilers, obviously, but I want to completely recommend the film on the very reputation of Alfred Hitchcock and hi astute cinematic charisma. Especially to those who have not seen the film. It will be a revelatory experience for you all who have yet to reach out and watch this movie. “Lifeboat” is under-rated in many circles but ironically, it is also a very highly regarded “lost gem” in Hitch’s filmography. The film is full of natural and believable performances that outshine many even by today’s ultra-realistic standards. It’s a film of a very different and controversial era, not only in world and social history, but in old school cinema and it’s timeless and charming conventions.
Alfred Hitchcock and John Steinbeck both were nominated for the coveted Academy Award. Hitchcock his second for directing and Steinbeck his first. This is an important and classic film that cannot come more highly recommended!
Cracker! Nice work! One of Hitch’s most under appreciated movies.
Glad you enjoyed the write up. Even I, while being an avid fan of Hitch, have taken this film for granted in the past. Now I watch it at least once a year and always find some nuance or element to like in the movie.
Thanks for the awesome feedback and for sharing the review!
Excellent review, Vic! I really enjoyed your analysis of this forgotten wartime classic. It’s been far too long since I’ve seen this movie, so it’s due for a re-watch. I’m glad Hitchcock stuck with B&W for this one. It’s hard to imagine it looking any other way.
Thanks, Barry! Very nice of you to say, man! Happy you enjoyed it. The Black and White adds another layer of that surreal dynamic that some filmmakers try hard to emulate but can never get right. The mood was brought out perfectly by Hitch with the camera work, here. I appreciate you checking in, Barry. Thanks!
Excellent work for this unique Hitchcock tale, Vic.
Thanks, Michael! Glad you enjoyed it, man. Thanks for checking in!

The Learning Network | What Have You Learned Playing Video Games?
What are your favorite video games? What do you think they have taught you?
Do you think video games can help inspire social change? Have you ever played one that helped you understand a serious global problem?
This year, a United Nations program devoted to urban planning in countries affected by poverty or natural disasters began developing a sports field in the slums of Kibera, Kenya, designing it in the popular sandbox video game Minecraft. The game, which allows players to build entire worlds out of cubes in a 3-D environment, helped the project leaders create a visual representation of the field that could be easily understood by the neighborhood’s residents.
The project, known as Block by Block, is among the highlights this week at the Games for Change Festival in New York, an annual event that promotes video games that seek social change. These efforts — known as serious games — once focused on education, to entice students to learn through digital play. But attention has shifted to more ambitious efforts like Block by Block, and a large part of that push has come from Games for Change, a nonprofit organization founded in 2004 that has worked with Google, NASA, the United Nations, the Rockefeller Foundation and TEDx.
One speaker at this year’s festival is Zoran Popovic, the director of the Center for Game Science at the University of Washington, in Seattle. He led the team of researchers responsible for the puzzle game Foldit, which sought to crowdsource a solution to a scientific problem. Foldit asked players to take on the role of a biochemist and map out how proteins might be folded in nature. The game provided scores based on how well they performed. Three papers in the journal Nature have been published, based on Foldit discoveries, since the game’s release in 2008; the most famous, in 2011, explained how Foldit players had helped to decipher the structure of an AIDS-related enzyme, a problem that scientists had been trying to solve for years.
Mr. Popovic plans to unveil a new project this week, a synthetic-biology game called NanoCrafter, whose goal is to discover molecular structures that could benefit vaccine and cancer research.
— What are your favorite video games? What games did you play when you were younger? Looking back, what do you think they taught you — whether physical or mental skills or something more intangible? How have they enriched your life?
— Have you ever played a video game like the ones at Games for Change, in which the goal is “more than entertainment”? What did you think of it? What did you learn?
— Do you think video games can be effective tools for learning? Do you think playing them might actually help “change the world”? Why or why not?
— If your school were to invest in a “video game for change” that was, like the examples in this article, fun to play, intellectually enriching and altruistically focused, what would you like it to be about? How might it work?
Honestly I have never really played video games before, well I have but not as much as an average teen. But that little that I did play I just learned little strategies and the games really made you think. But they are really not that productive.
I used to play games a lot but i have slowed down playing them now. I actually have learnt a lot of things from certain video games like strategies, and my friend said that he learnt that rubber comes from trees.
I think integrating games into school could be a good idea. It would probably be executed poorly in most areas though. There’s a stigma against video games in general that label all games as bad for your brain and they make you do bad things.
My favorite video game has to be guitar hero. I think this game has taught me how to multitask with my hands. I think video games are very good and can help inspire social change, depending on the type of game. No, I have never played a video game that has helped inspire me to change a serious global problem.
I don’t like to play video games. I rather do something else than be in four hours play games that not be educated.
the video games i have played are strategic and would make me think. i have never played a video game that benefits a cause before so i would go with some of the concepts listed in the article when deciding on one for my school to invest in.
That’s actually really interesting concept because most games are like what you guys said, fps and the like. there are a handful of games that are different or promote learning. i personally have not heard anything that could help with research.
My favorite video games are the grand theft auto video games. Not just because of the violence but also because I don’t play very many video games and it’s fun to just drive around and wander the game. When I was younger my favorite video game was a hand held analog stick with a few different games on it including PAC man. I don’t believe that playing these types of video games benefits you much. I’ve never played a more than entertainment goal game. But I think it’s a very intriguing idea, especially scenes so many kids learn from their surroundings and technology now days.
My favorite video games are Minecraft, COD, Counterstrike Source, Guitar Hero, Farcry, and Rainbow six. Looking back at these games I have learned a little more about weaponry, and playing video games has also helped with my hand-eye corrdination. I also think playing video games can help increase your reflexes and response time. When I started playing Minecraft I immediately fell In love because it allowed me to use my creativity and build things that I’ve always wanted to build. I think video games can be a very effective tool for learning because it makes learning fun. But I also think that it should be taken in moderation and staring a screen all day isn’t that great for you and neither is sitting all day. The more interactive learning is the better it will be in general. I think that bringing video games into schools could be a good way to bring more interaction to learning.
My number one game is World of tanks. when i was younger, i played minecraft. I was a 4 year minecraft player.. Minecraft gave me inspiration. But when i got World of tanks, i quit minecraft. World of tanks has taught me alot. Ive learned alot since i started playing. No blood, no gore. Just fun with big metal machines.
I don’t know because I don’t play video games.
Well i have not learned a lot because i don’t play a lot. It shows that there is violence in the world. Also how to help you shoot more acculturate. I think that if schools had games then more people could enjoy and relax more.
I have played some games that teaches you life lessons and some games that inspires you. Video games nowadays have little education to offer for you if you are playing modern consoles.
The way i learned to play video games is that most people can easily play any game if they put their mind into it. i play video games every single day and beat every single game there is its just what i like to do everyday when i get home from school etc. i can play really hard games that not everyone can beat i’m technically the best at playing horror games and war games plus games like assasins creed 1 to throughout all the other assasin creed games. i am such a video game expert i’ve played every system that ever came out from the beginning of atari to all of todays games. i just love to play video games.
I love playing video games with my brothers. I play Black Ops, Mine Craft, Kinect Sports and more. Playing these games explain more than moving your thumbs it showed you how to multitask and some of the video games keeps you physically active when you have a X-Box 360.
Im a senior in High School. Im always playing video games whenever im not either at school, work, or golf. I love video games and I feel that they are a quintessential part of learning. I have played almost every game. Games like pokemon help you to solve problems. Games like portal cause you to use physics and puzzles to play the game. Games like the bioshock series or the half life series create stories, that in my opinion, are better than reading book because you get to experience it. Even games like Call of duty increases reflexes.
– My favourite video games are Deus Ex, The Witcher 2 and Half-Life 2.
As someone who lives in germany, where most students don’t speak english very good. I think video games taught me a lot about english. It was the only subject I NEVER had problems with. From the first day on I was too good for my grade.
– I honestly have never played one of those games, but after this article I’m definitely looking forward to them.
– I don’t know, maybe about subjects, that are boring and complicated for many students, like biology and chemistry? I personally wouldn’t be able to come up with an idea, but smart people, probably would.
I play a lot of RPGs mostly. They are some of my favorite games. Most RPGs give you choices, and what choices you make affects the people, and world around you. Usually the choices range from good, to neutral, to evil. This is very similar to how life really is. The choices we make, whether they are good or bad, have a bigger impact on the world around us than we may think.
my favorite video games are games like Portal and Persona, games that actually require thinking while playing and not just mindless button mashing, the thing i think they’ve taught me… that no matter who you are you can always be a hero if you put your mind to it!
Unfortunately not, i would love to have the chance to be able to though, i believe that video games are more than just a way to distract ourselves or have a good time, i believe that the educational value of video games are much greater than what people believe.
Yes, video games are tools, whether the tool is used for entertainment or for education, it’s full potential cannot be realized unless someone steps forward and says “lets try to use it like this!” and works hard on that.
I would like that many possibilities for interactive learning would open up, these interactive lessons would not only increase the amount of fun in a classroom, but also the amount of passion from students who can honestly say that the lessons spoke to them.
@Alondra The correct sentence would be: I don’t like to play video games. I Would rather do something else than playing four hours of video games that do not help with my education.
I have played video games for years. All to often my choices were challenged or denied by my parents. At first I couldn’t comprehend the difference or what were the deciding factors for their answer. As I’ve grown older I see know how video games have the power to shape one’s personality. Even in video games there are choices to be made, altruistic choices that can benefit another individual in the game or choices to eliminate your opponent. The choices are made in real life all to often and it’s vital that children and teenagers recognized the value or consequences of the choices even within the games.
I am impressed by the idea of Games for Change. If our school were to invest in such a game perhaps one that affords students the opportunity to understand how closely connected their games choices are to real life. A game that teaches altruistic behavior and choices while still having fun. We find a significant change and positive growth in our society through future generations.
The focus of the some games is to build what ever the mind can imagine. I think that games can be more than entertainment because it makes you think about things that you may have see in your life. It also could make you think of real building and structure around the world. Others games can make you think about real life world problems and make you aware that they are happening. They may also help influence what you do later in your life. Overall I think that some games can do more than just entertainment and can make you think about real things and ideas.

The Learning Network | What Have You Learned Playing Video Games ?
 What are your favorite video games ? What do you think they have taught you ?
 Do you think video games can help inspire social change ? Have you ever played one that helped you understand a serious global problem ?
 This year , a United Nations program devoted to urban planning in countries affected by poverty or natural disasters began developing a sports field in the slums of Kibera , Kenya , designing it in the popular sandbox video game Minecraft . The game , which allows players to build entire worlds out of cubes in a 3 - D environment , helped the project leaders create a visual representation of the field that could be easily understood by the neighborhood ’s residents .
 The project , known as Block by Block , is among the highlights this week at the Games for Change Festival in New York , an annual event that promotes video games that seek social change . These efforts — known as serious games — once focused on education , to entice students to learn through digital play . But attention has shifted to more ambitious efforts like Block by Block , and a large part of that push has come from Games for Change , a nonprofit organization founded in 2004 that has worked with Google , NASA , the United Nations , the Rockefeller Foundation and TEDx .
 One speaker at this year ’s festival is Zoran Popovic , the director of the Center for Game Science at the University of Washington , in Seattle . He led the team of researchers responsible for the puzzle game Foldit , which sought to crowdsource a solution to a scientific problem . Foldit asked players to take on the role of a biochemist and map out how proteins might be folded in nature . The game provided scores based on how well they performed . Three papers in the journal Nature have been published , based on Foldit discoveries , since the game ’s release in 2008 ; the most famous , in 2011 , explained how Foldit players had helped to decipher the structure of an AIDS - related enzyme , a problem that scientists had been trying to solve for years .
 Mr. Popovic plans to unveil a new project this week , a synthetic - biology game called NanoCrafter , whose goal is to discover molecular structures that could benefit vaccine and cancer research .
 — What are your favorite video games ? What games did you play when you were younger ? Looking back , what do you think they taught you — whether physical or mental skills or something more intangible ? How have they enriched your life ?
 — Have you ever played a video game like the ones at Games for Change , in which the goal is “ more than entertainment ” ? What did you think of it ? What did you learn ?
 — Do you think video games can be effective tools for learning ? Do you think playing them might actually help “ change the world ” ? Why or why not ?
 — If your school were to invest in a “ video game for change ” that was , like the examples in this article , fun to play , intellectually enriching and altruistically focused , what would you like it to be about ? How might it work ?
 Honestly I have never really played video games before , well I have but not as much as an average teen . But that little that I did play I just learned little strategies and the games really made you think . But they are really not that productive .
 I used to play games a lot but i have slowed down playing them now . I actually have learnt a lot of things from certain video games like strategies , and my friend said that he learnt that rubber comes from trees .
 I think integrating games into school could be a good idea . It would probably be executed poorly in most areas though . There ’s a stigma against video games in general that label all games as bad for your brain and they make you do bad things .
 My favorite video game has to be guitar hero . I think this game has taught me how to multitask with my hands . I think video games are very good and can help inspire social change , depending on the type of game . No , I have never played a video game that has helped inspire me to change a serious global problem .
 I do n’t like to play video games . I rather do something else than be in four hours play games that not be educated .
 the video games i have played are strategic and would make me think . i have never played a video game that benefits a cause before so i would go with some of the concepts listed in the article when deciding on one for my school to invest in .
 That ’s actually really interesting concept because most games are like what you guys said , fps and the like . there are a handful of games that are different or promote learning . i personally have not heard anything that could help with research .
 My favorite video games are the grand theft auto video games . Not just because of the violence but also because I do n’t play very many video games and it ’s fun to just drive around and wander the game . When I was younger my favorite video game was a hand held analog stick with a few different games on it including PAC man . I do n’t believe that playing these types of video games benefits you much . I ’ve never played a more than entertainment goal game . But I think it ’s a very intriguing idea , especially scenes so many kids learn from their surroundings and technology now days .
 My favorite video games are Minecraft , COD , Counterstrike Source , Guitar Hero , Farcry , and Rainbow six . Looking back at these games I have learned a little more about weaponry , and playing video games has also helped with my hand - eye corrdination . I also think playing video games can help increase your reflexes and response time . When I started playing Minecraft I immediately fell In love because it allowed me to use my creativity and build things that I ’ve always wanted to build . I think video games can be a very effective tool for learning because it makes learning fun .
