Using gaming paratexts in the literacy classroom
This paper illustrates how digital game paratexts may effectively be used in the high school English to meet a variety of traditional and multimodal literacy outcomes.

The effectiveness of valorizing paratexts in this manner is demonstrated through two examples of assessment by students in classes where teachers had designed curriculum and assessment activities using paratexts
Braid groups and Kleinian singularities
We establish faithfulness of braid group actions generated by twists along an
ADE configuration of -spherical objects in a derived category. Our major
tool is the Garside structure on braid groups of type ADE. This faithfulness
result provides the missing ingredient in Bridgeland's description of a space
of stability conditions associated to a Kleinian singularity.Comment: Section 4 from versions 1 and 2 has been deleted due to an error in
the proof of Theorem 2. Renamed the paper and rewrote the other sections to
