Technology Mixed martial arts have been around for a long time. It was first introduced in the original Olympic Games in Athens. In the beginning, fighters used a combination of Hellenic boxing a wrestling to fight. They could use any of their abilities until they had the other opponent knocked unconscious or surrender. There were no rules or guidelines to the fighting; it was all or nothing. Different combat sports evolved over the years into different areas of the world. This made the popularity of pakration decline. As time went on, rules and regulations were developed for the fighters and the technological advances helped this sport take off. b.

Nice signposting Discussion I feel the Father, Tony, has determined that some of his children will be given what he feels is a strong supportive and motivating climate to influence them to compete at an elite level in a chosen sport. His reasons for this seem, on the surface, quite selfish. He desires to be the father of an Olympic champion and he thinks if his son becomes a boxing world champion there will be enough money for all of the family to live on. For Venus, that sport is gymnastics where Tony wants Venus to achieve Olympic status. For Romeo, the sport is boxing where Tony wants Romeo to achieve a high profile career leading to a world championship. Yes. Mainly for financial reward it seems.

...17, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky to Cassius Marcellus Clay Sr. who painted billboards and signs, and his mother, Odessa Grady Clay, who was a household domestic. Although Clay Sr. was a Methodist, he allowed Odessa to bring up both Clay boys as Baptists. He started boxing in junior high, when he learned boxing from a policeman at a local gym. By the time that Ali had reached high school, he already intended to be a prizefighter and hoped to box in the Olympics. Ali dropped out of Louisville Central High, a local basketball power, finishing 369th of 391 seniors in the class of 1960, and often traveling to fight on weekends. As an amateur boxer, Ali attracted notice in 1960 by winning the Amateur Athletic Union light heavyweight and Golden Gloves heavyweight championships. At the Rome Olympics in 1960, Ali crushed his opponents to win a gold medal in the light heavyweight division. After turning pro, Ali defeated his first opponents. Then on February 25th 1964, he fought, and knocked out, Sonny Liston in seven rounds, thus becoming the new heavyweight world champion. Ali defended his title nine times from 1965 to 1967 and became universally recognized as world heavyweight champion after knocking out World Boxing Association (WBA) champion Ernie Terrell in fifteen rounds on February 6th 1967. Ali often showed of his greatness by saying, "I am the greatest!" Soon after becoming heavyweight champion, Ali decided to change his religion and joined the Nation of Islam (Black Muslims)...

...Traumatic Encephalopathy CTE is a deterioration of the brain and can also be defined as a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which is caused by repetitive head trauma. CTE first came along in 1928 and was described by New Jersey medical examiner, Dr. Harrison Martland. Martland began to notice a group of related symptoms in boxers (confusion, speech problems, tremors, and slow movement). He published an article entitled “Punch Drunk,” in which he describes the boxers as, “cuckoo,” “goofy,” “cutting paper dolls,” or “slug nutty” (Journal of the American Association, 1928). Later, this was termed dementia pugilistica, which actually means dementia of a fighter. With the growth of our sports like American football, symptoms of CTE were being reported in a number of athletes other than boxers and in the 1960s, it was renamed Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. CTE has become a very popular topic because of its close association with American football, soccer hockey, boxing, and professional wrestling. Several of the affected athletes are retired, but have struggled in their late years with anger, depression, substance abuse, memory/motor disturbances, and suicide. Autopsy results from these particular athletes have proposed a link between these cognitive, emotional, and physical manifestations and CTE. In addition to athletes, soldiers have become another group of concern being that many are returning from the battlefield and have brain injuries along with blast trauma causing...

...Performance Comparison Willem Elbers, Frank Koopmans and Ken Madlener Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen December 2004 Abstract Java and .Net are both widely used for creating Middleware solutions. There are many interesting aspects which can be compared between Java and .Net. In this paper we examine the architecture of Java RMI and .Net Remoting and test their performance as they come ”out-of-the-box”. The performance was measured over a series of 3 different tests using .Net and Java’s high performance timers and our own modules to measure CPU utilization and Memory usage. In all our tests Java RMI had the best performance times. 1 1 Introduction The creation of software has been evolving strongly over the past few years. High level programming languages are increasingly popular amongst software developers because there is a great need for software quality and lower development times, while not compromising on performance. Also, the Internet has become increasingly popular and the need for networking applications is greater then ever. Java and .Net are both widely used for creating Middleware solutions. There are many interesting aspects which can be compared between Java and .Net, this paper focuses specifically on Middleware performance. First there will be an overview of the Java and .Net middleware implementations, Java RMI and .Net Remoting. These will be described on an abstract level which will help understanding and explaining the results of the performance measurement...

...An Analysis of Early Cinema Movies play a very important role in our daily life. From the invention of first motion-picture camera in 1891 to the development of the concept of continuity editing, there were many films made. I have watched 15 of these early films and got to know some filmmakers at that time, found out their distributions and photography techniques. These films can be divided chronologically, the earliest films in the period from 1891 to 1895, like Edison Kinetoscope Record of a Sneeze; films in the late 1900s, such as Wash Day in Mexico, and developed films at the beginning of 20th century, like Life Rescue at Long Branch. This study will focus on the characteristics of patterns, contrast of different films and the evolution of early cinema. It can be said that Thomas Alva Edison invented the kinetoscope involuntarily. He meant to provide a visual accompaniment for his phonograph, however, with the improvement done by Dickson, the viewing machine, or kinetoscope, emerged. Edison attempted to design a machine that can make images and sounds synchronized and recorded simultaneously. But, synchronization proved impossible and kinetoscope films seldom have sound. As the first motion-picture camera, the kinetoscope represents the big progress in the field of cinema, and it obviously has many advances. First, it used perforated film to accomplish the synchronization of camera and projector. Second, the frames were held intermittently. Because...

...13). According to Abramovitz (2005), Parkinson was born in London, England, 1755 and became a physician in 1785 and was a skilled and dedicated doctor, wrote many books on medical issues, the first time Parkinson disease was introduced was from his essay on “shaking palsy.” This paper will discuss Parkinson’s disorder systematically to serve as a guide for people with Parkinson’s, their families, partners, friends and anyone else who may be interested. Causes Parkinson’s disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder. Therefore, this disease continues to affect a person and will not go away. It also is a progressive disorder, in other words, the symptoms could get worst if not taken seriously. According to Ambramovitz, “No one, not a physician or anyone else, can accurately predict how, or how quickly, the disease will progress in a specific individual” (p. 13). Parkinson’s disease is caused by a loss of certain cells in the central nervous system. The central nervous system (CNS) is made up of neurons in the brain and...

...Drugs Kendall Beard COM/172 May 6, 2015 Brian Townsley In my experience, for decades, many people have debated over the use of marijuana and whether it is good or bad for you. Many scientists have conducted their research on the usefulness of marijuana in the everyday life of people and most have only come back with negative results concerning the plant/drug. In this paper, I hope to prove that smoking marijuana does not cause the same amount of problems that smoking cigarettes might cause. In this paper, there will be few topics touched on concerning marijuana. There are ample cases of people using drugs because of their curiosity, individual freedom and choice, cultural characteristics, or relaxation activities and the substitute for modern medicine. Modern hemp and cannabis are distinctive assortments of the same species, Cannabis sativa. Weed generally contains 3 to 15 percent of the psychoactive fixing delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a dry-weight premise, while mechanical hemp contains 1 percent. Be that as it may, the two mixtures are unclear by appearance. In the United States, Cannabis sativa is delegated a Timetable I controlled substance, paying little respect to its opiate content, under the Controlled Substances Go about as changed. Since 1990, mixtures containing under 0.3 percent THC have been sanctioned in Incredible Austria, England, Switzerland, and Germany. Canada and Australia authorized hemp generation in 1998. In different nations, for example...

...Contact Sports Head/Body Injuries Research Paper November 19, 2013 Down, Set, Hut, Hut! The ball snaps, and everyone clashes into each other like warriors in battle. This is what we love about the game of football. While we are enjoying this rugged game, behind the scenes there are players in pain on and off of the field. From them having concussions to broken toes, or in other words from head to toe, every game possibly being there last one depending on the extremity of their next injury they still continue to play and entertain us. In this paper we are going to journey through some of those injuries and issues due to this sport we love and how we could help solve it, and help these athletes we love so much be able to stay in the game of football a little longer. To start off, although we’re just focusing on NFL, I have to let you know it’s not just affecting them, but the little ones we having playing this sport as well. In an article I read entitled, “Hits to the Head Don’t Differ in Age, Research Indicates”, it says that more 25,000 kids ranging from ages 8 to 19 are taken to the emergency room seeking treatment for concussions each year (Belson, 2013). This goes to say that although we enjoy when the adults are doing all this physical contact, but when it’s our own kids do we feel the same way? Well, in this case think of those NFL players as you do your children. What if they could never play again, on or off of the field? In reading another article by Sabrina Rogers...

...The Difference Between Being Left-Handed and Right-Handed About 90 percent of the world’s population is right-handed and only 10 percent is left-handed. It is exceptionally rare for a true ambidexterity. Most left-handed people develop some mixed-handedness by living in a world where most everyday objects are for right-handed people (Balter, 2009). Balter says “one researcher hot on the trail of these issues is Natalie Uomini, an archeologist at the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom” (2009). Uomini states that handedness does not mean that one hand is more dominant over the other. She rather says that “both hands have different but equally important manual dexterity whereas the left hand might perform the more mundane but nevertheless crucial role of supporting an object” (Balter, 2009). Most children begin to emerge between the ages of seven and thirteen months and are well-established by age three (Balter, 2009). When figuring out when such consistency arose in humans is not an easy task. In small number of cases, it is possible to detect signs of handedness in early human fossils by the size of the shoulder and arm bones. There is a clear destination as indicated by the deeper bone insertions of the deltoid muscles in his clavicle and the greater length of the ulna (Balter, 2009). Uomini found out that even though hand bias may be hard to detect among early humans, there is clear evidence from the large number of Neandertal skeletons. The Neandertal skeletons...
