It’s a bright and warm Sunday morning, and as I jog along the park's walking trail, my mind is busy with thoughts of mouth-watering sizzling steak on the grill. They say that, “Exercise helps reduce food cravings,” but that doesn’t work for me. The more I exercise, the more it triggers my appetite and the sheer thought of marvelous succulent, savory steak fueled my cravings. Sundays always give me the blues as it brings back memories of my dear Grandma who cooks the best Salisbury steak that were so good- to- the- last- bite. I grew up ...

Babe or George Herman Ruth Jr. became one of the brightest persons in the baseball’s history. His life can be treated as an example of an urban fairy tale, where a poor character obtains success with the aid of own traits and a combination of circumstances. Ruth was an owner of several significant records. He showed himself not only in sport; Ruth became the first baseball player who made managers to pay him $125,000 per year. The athlete was one of the first inductees of the Baseball Hall of Fame. He indirectly created a legend of the ...

Discussion Assignment I and II: The Total Quality Approach

Assignment I The question I: Why Look at Processes Continuously? Quality can be defined in a variety of ways and this definition depends upon the company´s culture and strategy as well as customers´ definition of quality.

To achieve quality and ensure the sustainability of this strategy, organizations should take the long-term and forward-looking approach to management of its ...

Question One

In 1980, baseball players entered into a strike that lasted for eight days as they negotiated to retain the free agency policy that allowed them to play for any team. Their wishes were granted and the strike was called off. Other reasons that necessitated the cancellation of the strike was the fact that the players were not paid during the strike, especially in spring training. Although the last days of the training were interrupted, the start of the regular season in 1981 continued as planned. To some, all was well until later in the mid-season when the players for ...

The major events of the U.S. civil rights movement from 1948 to 1970 caused a profound change in the American society and culture by challenging the White superiority myth. The success of desegregation in particular professional areas demonstrated that Blacks could also perform traditionally white activities, and even perform them better. Furthermore, the desegregation of the first schools challenged the myth of the intellectual superiority of Whites. African American students could demonstrate that they could keep up with Whites, and they could soon flourish in the public arena, to the extent that they were allowed to do so. Finally, ...

Introduction

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) advocates for a substantial and proportionate female and male enrollment in participation in sports. As presented in the school data of sports participation compared to the students’ enrollment, universities have not met the requirements to ensure equality in athletics (Maher, 2013). This report analyzes equality in athletics data from the University of Mississippi (Division I) and Allegheny College (Division III).

“Baseball was proof positive that democracy was real. A baseball box score after all, is a democratic thing. It doesn't say how big you are, or what religion you follow it does not know how you voted, or the color of your skin, it simply states what kind of ballplayer you were on any particular day”. It’s telling, when the film starts with a quote, which is methodically taken apart, denied and discarded only to turn true in the end. The story is not about the reality of the things, claimed in the quote; ...

Mary Louise Pratt: “Arts of the Contact Zone”

Pratt continued the assertion of the baseball card experience, as an excellent way of learning, by using examples of real world texts that were common to the baseball cards, and what she quotes as “new visions of literacy” (486). This was a quote from comments made by Tony Sarmiento at this particular conference (the Pittsburgh conference on literature). In many ways, her article is based in the original thought of how Sam learnt to communicate, and become literate. She mentions the letter, written by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala, with text as well as images. This ...

In Field of Dreams, Ray Kinsella’s venture to construct the baseball diamond over his cornfield is arguably a means of resolving his troubled relationship with his father. Ray’s father sadly died before he could ever take back any of the harmful and damaging statements he had made about baseball. These statements would cause the eventual deterioration of their relationship, leaving Ray in a condition of listlessness, emptiness, and disillusionment due to a lack of closure. Ray had to build the field in order to resurrect his father’s spirit, in a sense, and create a venue in ...

Background

In 1931, The Empire of Japan attacked and took over Manchuria, a resources-rich Chinese region. Japan took over Manchuria because it wanted to take control of the natural resources found there especially oil (Inada 11). The U.S refused to recognize Japan’s jurisdiction over Manchuria arguing that the control was established through force. The U.S had close trade relations with China, and it wanted to protect its interests in the country. Japan attacked China severally so as to weaken it from claiming back Manchuria. In 1937, the U.S started considering how it could stop Japan’s quest to expand ...

The experiences that people go through in life help shape their characters and actions. The behaviors that people exhibit cannot be looked at exclusively from an idealistic moral perspective. It is therefore important to look at an individual’s past situations before throwing a blanket judgment on them. This is the case with Troy Maxson in the play “Fences” written by August Wilson. An abstract look at his behavior would suggest that he is a selfish and egoistic man, yet a closer look at his life experiences suggests that more often than not, there was an underlying justification for ...

They did not scream and cheer as men made baskets in a tense basketball game. This was not a traditional sporting event; ...

In fact, the baseball was a popular sport from the early 30s and 40s in the US, although it did not attract the majority of Americans.

Yet, before laying out the arguments, it is necessary to define what Adelman meant by the term "modern" while referring it to sports. Hence, the modern sport shall ...

Part 1: Fences

Troy relies on racism as a projection of his own feelings. When Cory is selected for a football scholarship, Troy refuses to be pleased or supportive of him. Instead, Troy is dismissive and tells Cory, "The white man ain't gonna let you get nowhere with that football no way" (1.3.78). For most of his life, Troy has carried a regret that he wasn’t able to play professional baseball, as a result of racial discrimination. He argues that he doesn’t want to subject Cory to the same disappointment. The people around Troy attempt to convince him that things ...

Child investigation is a very tricky activity owing to age sensitivity of the child which, if wrongly done, it could have adverse ramifications on the child. However, this action is necessary as it provides a substantial basis for evidence collection during the investigation (Hammer, Moynihan, and Pagliaro, 2013). The fact that child testimony and evidence carries significant weight in terms of evidence also opens it up to instances which are sensitive to the child that may result in collection of the wrong evidence provided as a result of various causes such as pleasing the interviewer, forgetfulness, or failure to ...

Bill Beane on Evaluation of Players

Bill Bean introduced sabermetrics in baseball, an approach that used data to capture players' performance, like hits, catchers and getting bases. He incorporated data from the industry, software developers, and the New York Exchange, over a long time, and generated relationships that guided his approach to signing players. He did not consider speed and strength (though he did not decant them), rather, he was looking at the qualities that made the player different. All major scouts went around the country, looking at high school players and stars, but Bill had noticed that players assigned straight out of high school ...

For instance, Liverpool Football Club had to part with six million pounds sterling to ...

The play Fences by August Wilson is set in the American urban setting in 1957. After the end of the Civil War and the Reconstruction, it is clear that the White Americans and the Black Americans had been segregated in almost all areas of life (Tribute To August Wilson 1). These arenas included buses, schools, and even in sport, for instance, baseball. The play gives a practical example of a great player whose dream is crushed along racial lines, despite being good in the game of baseball. Troy Maxson, who is the protagonist in the play, defines his life ...

Introduction

Improper handling of food products and lack of proper personal hygiene by food handlers are some of the leading factors that cause outbreaks of food borne diseases. Essentially, microbes’ attack, which is responsible for the highest number of food borne illnesses, gets transmitted when the food handlers fail to clean their hand (Michaels, 2001). As a result, gloves have become an integral part of the culinary industry. In fact, according to food safety regulation, wearing gloves has been termed as a mandatory requirement in both food preparation and food handling services (Farquhar & Tassin, 2016). Gloves for use by food ...

Question #8

Angular momentum refers to the resistance of a rotating body to change its spin rate or direction of spin. Angular momentum can be determined by the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity, or by the cross product of the moment arm and the product of the mass and velocity vector of the body (Sellers 2004, 112-113). For this particular problem, we will use the latter to determine the angular momentum. H=R×mV H=0.5 m×0.25 kg2 ms H=0.25 kg∙m2s Since angular momentum is conserved, the angular momentum of the system every point in time ...

The best industry that monitors one’s productivity is baseball. It uses a wide range of statistical tools to analyze one’s performance in the game.

Besides, discoveries made on engineering and architectural activities by ancient communities such as the Roman Empire are still being appreciated by a significant number of conventional development stakeholders. The Ancient Roman, particularly, is credited ...

Compare/Contrast

One of the greatest concerns in research based on gender coverage is the limited coverage of women sports by different media; for example, the social media, digital media, and the newspapers (print media). Accordingly, the quality of sports coverage despite the remarkable participation of the female gender intensifies the support for men's sports while diminishing the women's sports. Basketball is one of the favourite games, not among the American people but also among other people worldwide. The two common premier basketball leagues in the world are the NBA and WNBA. This paper discusses the similarities and differences between coverage ...

The continental landscape features are reflected with analogous features on the ocean basins. Plains, Plateaus, volcanic cones, rolling hills, mountains, and valleys are found underwater in the oceans just like on land.

Introduction

Culture is traced to the origin of human life while laws emerged later due to human interactions. Hence, from the historical perspective, formulation and implementation of legislation usually adhere to the already existing culture.

This paper discusses culture as law and shows how the two elements are inseparable. The essay also focuses on the power of culture and law and how they relate. It leads to a conclusion that laws and ...

A lease is a contract between the lessor and lessee. In this case, Larry Landlord is the lessor and Roger Renter is the lessee. Under the lease agreement, both parties have respective rights, obligations, and duties. The lease agreement at issue is a residential lease. The old common law rule provided that lessees assumed the property “as is” and that the lessor made no promises or guarantees as to the condition of the property (Dukeminier, et al., 2010, p. 482). This common law approach proved problematic because it both discouraged landlords from making repairs while the tenant was in ...

As seen in the speeches of renowned politicians like Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, they are skilled at identifying symbolically with voters and in such a way, joins their interests with those of the voters. This type of politicians, in a manner, base their principles on the morals and ideologies of the voters, which makes identification the main ingredient used to give way to a rhetorical move, as seen in the speech of Barack Obama. As Crosby (2015) stated, Obama’s purpose in using identification was to “place himself and America in the same object position” (p,317). In ...

Different ideas and approaches taken African American civil rights leaders

For hundreds of years, various civil rights leaders struggled for claiming the equal rights for all races in the United States, but they used different approaches and ways for pursuing the same aim - to guarantee African Americans the same rights as the equal citizens of the country. We have no rights to question the propriety of their words or actions, because their deeds were done for the common good, but we can surely say that their motives and beliefs were sincere and fair (Edchange.org). Another important fact that we should take into consideration while talking about the discrepancy ...

In his grand truism theory, Kurt Lewin introduced a heuristic equation B=f (P, E), meaning that behavior is a function of the person-environment interaction (Kihlstrom, 2013). On the other hand, there is the environment. The environmental factors are a factor outside the person's character. When broken down, the environment comprises of both the physical environment and the social environment. According to Kurt Lewin, every behavior is a social behavior, meaning that behaviors are greatly influenced by the social environment in which one functions (Kihlstrom, 2013). Based on this brief introduction, this paper presents the analysis of a personal situation ...

In the poems, “Home Movies: A Sort of Ode” by Mary Jo Salter and “The Things” by Donald Hall both personas in the poems pay tribute to their upbringing as a child, which is memorialized in the things that they possess in their homes. Both poets rely on creative use of alliteration and lineation to convey their message. However, each poet used these elements to achieve a different effect in their respective poems. In both Salter’s and Hall’s poems, the use of alliteration is key in re-creating their childhood or emphasizing the things ...

Introduction

Sport is one of the recognized means of promoting individual and communal health and wellness. However, the goal of deaf sports goes beyond this simple understanding to a more sophisticated form of social interaction. It is estimated that “one in every 1000 children” possess acute hearing loss at birth (Hopper). The diminished hearing capability during the formative years considerably hampers the acquisition of speech and language skills in individuals. Thus, the majority of deaf people exhibit stunted growth in cognitive, social and academic levels. This scenario changed radically with the advent and extensive adoption of deaf sports across the ...

Question 1

The study is an example of a quasi-experiment; falling specifically into the pretest-posttest design. In such studies, the dependent variable is measured once before treatment implementation and once after treatment implementation ((Saylor Foundation, n.d., p. 176). In this case, the dependent variable is the weight of the obese children which is measured before the 3-month active program and after the program. The weight of the obese children is the medical/psychological problem that needs treatment. The treatment (3-month active program) might be responsible for weight reduction but this may not only be the reason as there are other factors that might ...

1. List and explain five things that people know are true?

The truth is existence of the opposite. For everything that people believe they determine its existence through it opposite. Joy and sadness are two opposite which could not exist without the other. Man and women are also considered opposite. Without opposition nothing exists; hence people, have to believe in the existence of opposition first, before they believe in the existence of everything they conceive (Scruton 43). The second truth is that they exist. This truth is accepted by almost everyone. The evidence that people believe that they exist is that they (themselves and other people) is that they interact ...

Advertisements are instrumental in how one views a product of message. Nowhere is this more apparent than with beer advertisements. Beer is one of the world's oldest prepared beverages, and the world's most widely consumed alcoholic beverage in the world. Beer is something sold in most every retail store and gas station. Even through beer products may be similar, advertisements often are used to target different audiences. I propose that by looking at ads for similar products one can better understand how marketing campaigns impact viewer perspective.

In the Corona ad, the target audience would be the one ...

Sight is a very prevalent theme in a great variety of fiction; it can often be a symbol for understanding, comprehension, and enlightenment. Hindsight and foresight are often rewarded as virtues, or at least play heavily into the plot of a story. A blind person is often thought to ‘see’, or comprehend, more than the normal person, and sometimes people are not aware of a shocking truth, despite it looking them straight in the face. These scenarios are found in August Wilson's play Fences, as Troy, the patriarch of the family, is completely undone by his pride and lack of awareness of ...
