...work hand in hand and produce positive outcomes for each team member. There is an "art" mentality in the mixed martial arts world. That art correlates to football as well as any other sport out there in such a way. The ability to train under an extreme amount of discipline, perseverance, mental focus as well as maintaining physical endurance pertains to both sports. Through jiu jitsu, team-mates learn valuable attributes such as respect, humility, and they also experience vast training under an extreme amount of fatigue, this strengthens the mind in its ability to focus in the most highest demands or extreme amount of pressure. In turn displays positive outcomes for both sports at hand.This ability holds advantages primarily for those who are less physically engaged or who seem small or weak at stature, jiu jitsu helps to build that strong mental acquisition which in turn gives them the ability to overcome their opponents allowing an advantage in the game of football. Parents who search for outlets to help their children build up their confidence can find this in football as well as in jiu jitsu training.

...Matthew Mattingly mmattingly@student.cccd.edu Professor Kabaji English 100 28 January 2014 Commitment Throughout life, commitment is essential. For life to progress in a certain proclivity, we must commit. Whether it’s a relationship, family or work, there’s always a commitment. Every human being wants to be happy, but happiness requires some sort of commitment. Whatever it is that we love, we commit for the hopes of happiness. If we take a step back, stop and think about everything in life, it all requires some sort of commitment. A first-year pupil takes acceptance into a school or college with a commitment of graduating. We interview for a job with a commitment that, if hired, we will work hard and go above and beyond our duty description. Families run on commitment; parents are committed to their children, children are committed to their parents, wives are committed to their husbands, and husbands are committed to their wives. Everyone that enlists into the military commits to an automatic eight year term. When I joined the Army in 1993 I gave a commitment, on paper, to give that same eight years of my life to being the best Soldier I could be. Despite, on paper, eight years was the maximum anyone could give; I committed mentally, the next twenty years, no matter what hardships I endured along the way. To me, that was a genuine commitment and I wouldn’t be content until I accomplished that goal...

Sincethe beginning of humanity, unarmed combat has been a part of ourexistence. Just as MMA has existed (inone form or another) for thousands of years, so have the detractors of MixedMartial Arts. Often criticized for itsbarbarism and the risk involved in competition, MMA has faced opposition fromthe likes of Alexander the Great to United States Senator John McCain. Mixed Martial Arts has adapted due to thiscriticism, evolving into a sport whose legitimacy is acknowledged throughoutthe world.

The umbrella is a collage and also it is a non-representation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which is a martial art from Brazil. I have done it for 15 years, and I am teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Canberra, and the jiu-jitsu is a good job for me because it gives me some security here, The umbrella is a metaphor for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in my life. The mountain, the sand and the ocean are made with the same kind of lines. I used organic lines to draw it, so these lines are in harmony between them. Jesus Cristo on top of the mountain is a representation of my religion, so it is high because it is really important for myself. I made it with black ink. There are chairs and these chairs are empty. It is a metaphor about how I feel now in relation with my family, and again i used the black ink. I scrub the green leaves on the paper to make the mountains.

...Gracie, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter, and Davie Arthur, an American publicist. Gracie wanted to create a championship to prove that the Jiu-Jitsu was the most complete martial arts. At that time, in UFC events, athletes used to fight several times in one night, until only one was the winner. The main idea was to show the strength of Jiu-Jitsu, so there were no weight categories and all martial arts were allowed; a sumo wrestler could face an expert in karate athletes. There were almost no rules and, as a result, it not recognized as a sport (Correia ¶ 01). In 2001, the brothers Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, owners of a chain of casinos in Las Vegas, bought the event. The two brothers promoted many changes in the UFC: they stipulated 31 rules, and the athletes were divided into five categories according to weight. It was also determined that each fighter would participate in only one fight per night. After buying the event, the brothers invested considerably in promoting it and the result is that today, in each edition, the event reaches 351 million homes in 130 different countries . In the U.S., over the past three years, the UFC has grown by 30% its fan base, which is estimated to be 31 million in U.S. and 61 million around the world (Esteves ¶ 04). According to CNBC, the brand Ultimate Fight acquired by new owners in 2001 for "only" two million dollars, today is worth more than $ 1 billion (CNBC sec 03).

...This impression has been obtained through countless commercials and professional athletes sweating on the field in the midst of a game. However, this isn't the case. Steady progress is what individuals need to be focused on, as opposed to losing the weight and getting into shape in a very short period of time. "When a person engages in a sport, such as boxing, that works out the entire body, they find they get results that are not simply physical. For example, karate teaches a person discipline and allows them to deal with the stress in the life better. Brazilian jiu-jitsu not only provides a physical workout, but engages the brain too as the individual is learning something new. When a person stops to consider all of the ways they benefit when they exercise, they'll see why any progress is good, even if it is slow," Liang continues. However, some individuals wish to engage in an activity that is more low key, and Jungle Gym McLean can be of help here also. Try a yoga class or participate in strength and conditioning exercises. The goal is to find something the person truly enjoys and wishes to participate in on a regular...

...It was when I earned my first pound at the age of ten washing my mother's car that I became interested in the power of money. Over time it became clear to me that the people who understand the monetary and banking system are capable of understanding the decisions made by governments and the future of society. I want to be one of those people. To broaden my knowledge of different areas of finance, I have read a number of different books on the subject - from "How the City of London Works" to "Rich Dad Poor Dad". I am also a regular reader of the Economist magazine. I believe that reading such books and magazines has given me insight into topics not covered at school, for example how Japanese management in Chinese factories caused unrest among the workforce due to the Chinese workers' dislike of the Japanese management style, and how this affected the share price of companies such as Honda. Reading about such things has made me realise how the subject of Finance and the economy affects everybody's lives, and has strengthened my desire to further study the subject. The A-level subjects I am studying give me a firm foundation for studying Finance at University. Business Studies at A-level has greatly improved my analytical and writing skills. I have particularly enjoyed the part of the course which concerns how a firm selects financial strategies and how managers choose which aspect of a firm needs the most investment. German has improved my communication skills and self-confidence...

...Problem Set – June 11th 1. How does our spatial representation of time constitute an element of consciousness? Jaynes outlines six essential features to consciousness in modern humans. The first is spatialization. This describes the ability to metaphorically construct abstract concepts in a spatial map. For example, think about human history from about 1000 AD to today. How did you conceive of this concept? Did you see a timeline running left to right, with bullet points for the Norman Conquest (AD 1066), Columbus’ landing in Central America (AD 1492), The American Revolution (AD 1776), and so on? Why should time need to run from left to right? Another example using time is how we conceive of short periods of time. If you’ve ever worn an analog watch, you most likely have once thought of a certain period of time in terms of a spatial block measured by the distance the hands on your watch travel. 2. What does Jaynes mean by excerptation? The second element to consciousness is excerptation. This is the ability to recall selected descriptive elements of a particular concept relevant to our experience. For example, if I ask you to think of an amusement park, you may first think of a Ferris wheel, a dart game you were good at, or maybe the shady looking carny who once stood in front of the balloon targets in order to prevent you from winning the good prizes. In all these cases, you are taking an excerpt from the total experience as representative of the whole. ...
