...Association “Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.” This quote is from the best basketball player in the world, Michael Jordan. I kept this quote in my mind while I did my 30 day challenge. It took me many days to think of what to do for my 30 day challenge, I changed my mind many different times. When I finally thought of something that I was actually excited about, I stuck with it and decided to do it. For the 30 days I am going to play basketball every day, so I can try and improve my basketball skills. I am not only going to work on just shooting; I am also going to work on my athletic ability, jumping, passing, leadership, foul shots, and shooting. For the 30 days I will be trying many activities to improve the areas I have just listed. My research question will be: In 30 days can I improve my athletic ability, jumping, passing, leadership, foul shots, and over all shooting? I will try to improve my skills over the next 30 days by doing many things that I have done my research on and found drills and practices. While I try and improve my overall basketball skills I will also improve my overall health but I will not record it because that is not my main goal. Playing basketball for 30 days will not be hard for me because I use to play basketball every day when I was in high school however when I came to Ball State I have maybe played three times all year. I have played basketball for most of my life and I want to get back into the routine. For many people going to the gym...

...Free throws is the hardest shot to make in the game of basketball. Even though you only get one point if you make it, it still is the most important shot. Free throws determine the outcome of the game; win or lose, in college and professional leagues; practice free throws consistently, most of the stuggle also. To shoot a free throw correctly, you need the following: a basketball, a regular court, and a player. The first step is to get fouled so you can shoot the free throw, make sure you go up for a layup or make the other team get a bunch of fouls so you can get a one and one also. While getting ready to shoot, step off the line to catch your breath; do not rush. If your not ready to shoot the free throw just yet, let the referee know to...

...My second document is the persuasive argument on my own personal opinion on the concussion protocol and its effects on the game. For the introduction of this document, I used a example of change. When you wake up in the morning, you have a basic routine, you brush your teeth, get changed, prepare breakfast, finish any last school assignment, then you head out the door. But if any of these were alter such as you run out of underwear or toothpaste, you would be upset. I concluded my introduction by asking the audience why no one can accept these rules changes in support of player health and safety. I then included a picture of David Bruton Jr who is holding his head in pain after a dirty hit by the Pittsburgh Steelers. This relates to the question...

...Furthermore, the right of individuals to express their unique opinions are also guaranteed and protected by Freedom of Speech in the U.S. Constitution (Staff, LII). However, the attempt to ban, or even challenge, a book completely neglects the principles established in the foundation of the United States Government; the act of banning can even be considered being cowardly, attempting to silence arguments the book arouses instead of discussing them. Presumably, Bridge to Terabithia arouses arguments because of its application of religious controversy, disrespect, and a distressing death of a child. Despite Paterson’s previous background as a missionary, critics still dispute an alleged promotion of “secular humanism”, a concept that humanity can thrive without belief in God (“CT Residents”). In this case, praying to Spirits, the bullying of “some dumb cow” Janice Avery, and the sudden drowning of Leslie Burke can all be considered offensive topics to modern-day society (Paterson 37). Nonetheless, Katherine Paterson still justifies her methods of literature through the emotional intelligence her readers acquire after reading this book, as evident in some of her other pieces of writing...

...The Escalation of Gamer Gate The Gamer Gate controversy is a polarized debate that occurred between many individuals, many of whom are associated with the video game industry. Initially sparked by feminist criticisms of video gaming, Gamer Gate eventually escalated into a fiasco of hateful tirades, threats, and violence. In this paper, we hope to illuminate the factors which contributed to Gamer Gate evolving into its final form and Gamer Gate’s ultimate impact onto the industry that birthed it. To objectively describe the components of this extremely polarized conflict, we must sift through the bountiful amounts of opinionated material related to the matter, until we can depict Gamer Gate’s progression in an unbiased manner. What is Gamer Gate? The phrase Gamer Gate can refer to multiple things. The overall controversy known as Gamer Gate, in essence, is a polarized debate that began with criticisms of the videogame industry's misogynistic culture. In response to these claims, individuals amassed under a Twitter campaign of the same name to slander critics of the videogame industry and those that spread those claims. Eventually, slander became threats and these threats metamorphosed into a fiasco of indistinguishable muckraking that shook the video gaming industry to its core. Advocates of Gamer Gate and its crusading supporters rally against a supposed unethical reporters. They engage in a variety of extreme actions against anyone or anything they deem to be...

I sent him to the hospital to get an MRI.... As you've heard me so many times -- especially in the last few weeks -- and wait until The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) comes out to talk to me about judging and officiating in this sport right now. It drives me crazy because it's such a personal thing. These guys train so hard and those two kids [Aaron Riley and Shane Nelson] have been in camp for six to eight weeks, training, and then they fly out here to fight and it gets stopped like that. People make mistakes all the time, but that was a bad one. I was unhappy with the Pete Sell fight tonight, too. Yves LaVigne is...

...effects like moving documents and/or deletion of documents or programs. No matter the severity of the virus and its symptoms they should be dealt with by an up-to-date anti-virus program and security software, as systems with out-of-date protection are more susceptible and at risk. I agree that computer viruses are a major threat to business information systems because it is a way for hacker to gather useful information about a company and harm them. According to CNN workplace computer virus infections are up forty-eight percent over last year due to the increased spread of macro viruses usually found in files attached to E-mail, according to the International Computer Security Association, Inc. The number of infections per one thousand personal computers was twenty-one point fourty-five in nineteen ninty-seven; it's now at thirty-one point eighty-five, said the ICSA, in Carlisle, Pa. The study is based on a survey of some 300 corporations and corporate sites, representing some 750,000 PCs and servers. The rising virus epidemic can be blamed on macro viruses in Microsoft Word documents sent as attached files over the Internet. But it's not only the ease of sending infected documents that is increasing the number of infections; it's that writing a macro is so simple, said John Wheat, who works in the virus area of ICSA. "Word viruses are so easy to write," Wheat said. "You purchase a copy of MS Office, and you have all the tools you need," he said. Aside from ensuring that...

...of the outsiders is presented in all novels but separated due to the different time periods in which they were set, thus resulting in controversy and criticisms making it difficult to find a place within literature. Mark Twain’s ‘Huckleberry Finn’ is the story of a young boy, Huck Finn, who is faced with a restraint enforced upon him by society and later acknowledges this restraint once he comes to the realization that there is no escape from the society. ‘Vernon God Little’, like Huckleberry Finn, is also a story of a young boy framed as an accessory in a High School Massacre and is rendered to be an outcast in a society which revolves around manipulation and gullibility. Both Pierre and Twain portray the limitations and issues placed upon a young boy growing up in society. Sylvia Plath was viewed as a feminist icon, her collection ‘Ariel’, adopts the theme of outsider, as she believed women were classed as second-tier in a male dominant society and posed as a response to patriarchy in which oppressed women. The three texts intertwine in the portrayal of the outsider and act as a commentary on the societies in which these writers lived in. Correspondingly, as the characters portrayed in the novels were unable to identify their place in society, the texts themselves struggled to find a place within literature due to the sources of controversy and literary criticisms they received. Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn was written shortly after the American Civil War (1861-65), which...

... To begin with, the setting of “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” contains two distinctly different atmospheric aspects. The first one pleasantly takes place in the utopian city of Omelas during the Festival of Summer. The air is filled with genuine excitement over the flag-adorned boats, noisy running children, prancing horses, and great joyous clanging of the bells during the festival. In fact, the narrator attempts to describe the immense merriment emitted by the city of Omelas even though he/she continually notes that the description is inadequate and does not capture the true joy and happiness of Omelas. The second one miserably takes place in a small locked room in the basement of a building. In this dark, windowless, and foul smelling room is where...

...English Report Samuel Langhorne Clemens: Mark Twain (pen name) Mark Twain"—steamboat slang for twelve feet of water. I. Personal Background 1. When was the author born?

He became an apprentice in a printer's shop and then worked under his brother, Orion, at the Hannibal Journal, where he quickly became saturated in the newspaper trade. Rising to the role of sub-editor, Twain indulged in the frontier humor that flourished in journalism at the time: tall tales, satirical pranks, and jokes. II.
