Role Models
Role Models is a wild and witty self-portrait of John Waters, America's 'Pope of Trash', told through intimate profiles of his favourite personalities - some famous, some unknown, some criminal, some surprisingly middle of the road.From Esther Martin, owner of the scariest bar in Baltimore, to the playwright Tennessee Williams; from the atheist leader Madalyn Murray O’Hair to the insane martyr Saint Catherine of Siena; from the English novelist Denton Welch to the timelessly appealing singer Johnny Mathis - these are the extreme figures who helped John Waters form his own brand of neurotic happiness. A paean to the power of subversive inspiration that delights, amuses and happily horrifies in equal measure...

Role Play
Vivian’s gallery gig in Rio de Janeiro is more than a job.She’s a curator, not just at work but in every aspect of her life.Her apartment has designer armchairs. Her wallet is Comme des Garçons. Everything is selected and arranged, even her friends, culled from Brazil’s richest families, who play the supporting cast in Vivian’s ongoing performance of self.In Vivian’s world, everything comes in excess, including her own caustic self-awareness.As she informs us, “I’m a misandrist and a misogynist,” but she is fond of gay men, “the one type of human you can get along with as equals.”The gravity of real life breaks through Vivian’s ongoing act when she's confronted with an unexpected and awful proximity to police violence.Can she pause long enough to recast herself in a new role, one that fits her highly staged world and can account for the random and unpredictable?Role Play examines the super-abundances of Brazilian elites, their art and ethics, and their monied ambivalence in the face of social inequality, machismo, and violence.As sharp and sparkling as broken champagne flutes, Clara Drummond’s prose is seductively frank and unflinching in its depiction of wealth's warping effects.Her third novel and her English-language debut, Role Play is a bold and hilarious book that places everything that affirms and informs the performance of self under a harsh spotlight.

Semantic Role Labeling
This book is aimed at providing an overview of several aspects of semantic role labeling.Chapter 1 begins with linguistic background on the definition of semantic roles and the controversies surrounding them.Chapter 2 describes how the theories have led to structured lexicons such as FrameNet, VerbNet and the PropBank Frame Files that in turn provide the basis for large scale semantic annotation of corpora.This data has facilitated the development of automatic semantic role labeling systems based on supervised machine learning techniques.Chapter 3 presents the general principles of applying both supervised and unsupervised machine learning to this task, with a description of the standard stages and feature choices, as well as giving details of several specific systems.Recent advances include the use of joint inference to take advantage of context sensitivities, and attempts to improve performance by closer integration of the syntactic parsing task with semantic role labeling.Chapter 3 also discusses the impact the granularity of the semantic roles has on system performance.Having outlined the basic approach with respect to English, Chapter 4 goes on to discuss applying the same techniques to other languages, using Chinese as the primary example.Although substantial training data is available for Chinese, this is not the case for many other languages, and techniques for projecting English role labels onto parallel corpora are also presented.

What is role diffusion and role distance?
Role diffusion refers to the blurring of boundaries between different roles a person occupies, leading to confusion and conflict. This can happen when a person takes on too many responsibilities or when roles overlap in a way that is unclear. On the other hand, role distance refers to the emotional detachment or disengagement from a particular role, often as a coping mechanism to protect oneself from the demands or expectations associated with that role. Both role diffusion and role distance can impact an individual's sense of identity and well-being.

What is the difference between leading role, supporting role, and guest role in TV series?
The leading role in a TV series is typically the main character or protagonist, around whom the story revolves. This character usually has the most screen time and is central to the plot. A supporting role is a character who is not the main focus of the story but still plays a significant part in the series. They often provide support to the main character and help drive the plot forward. A guest role is a smaller, often one-time appearance by an actor in a specific episode or a few episodes. These characters are not central to the overall story but may still have an impact on the plot or other characters.

Can someone explain the difference between Social Identity Role Taking and Role Making, as well as Personal Identity Role Taking and Role Making to me?
Social Identity Role Taking refers to the process of adopting roles and behaviors based on the expectations and norms of a particular social group or identity. Role Making, on the other hand, involves actively shaping and creating one's own roles and identities within a social context. Personal Identity Role Taking involves adopting roles and behaviors based on one's individual characteristics, values, and beliefs. Personal Identity Role Making, on the other hand, involves actively constructing and defining one's own roles and identities based on personal experiences, goals, and aspirations. In summary, Social Identity Role Taking and Role Making are influenced by external social factors, while Personal Identity Role Taking and Role Making are more internally driven and reflective of individual identity.
