SPORTDiscuss with Full Text. Web. 30 Oct. 2015. Purpose One of the most important shots in tennis is the serve. The importance of the serve lies in its accuracy and speed which directly relates to the outcome of winning tennis matches. This is one of the most difficult strokes in the game to master because it requires the use, and coordination of the trunk, upper and lower extremities all in a kinetic chain movement. Because it is reported as such a hard shot to hit, this study was done...

...match games are won or lost on the effectiveness of the serve. The serve acts as the start of each point and when utilised correctly can provide the offensive advantage, making the serve one of the most important skills a tennis player can acquire. The foremost purpose of the serve is to successfully hit the ball into the opponents serve box. In terms of offence the serve lets the player assert control of the ball, dictating as to how their opponents must counteract while minimising the reaction time due to the immense amounts of velocity delivered behind the ball if done correctly. There are many different variations of the serve such has utilising a slice technique in order to cause the ball have topspin which adds to the...

..."Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity." -Billie Jean King. A game begins with a serve, which is usually a harder shot to return. The players move around the court trying to win a point. Either there is one player against a single opponent known as singles or teams of two known as doubles. The boundaries are changed whether the game is singles or doubles. When players are up at the net getting ready to smash the ball, the players do it in silence as the spectators watch. It is very interesting to watch a game that can be so fast paced in such a peaceful environment. In order to truly be able to appreciate tennis, one must understand the history, how the game developed into the...

...However, Phillip remains mindful that such fantasy of physical or psychological sameness is implausible as everyone is different - even clones. One then questions the significance of such wanting of sameness, or if the sense of sameness serves any purpose. Using the concept of Self and Other that Joanne Finkelstein examines in “The Self as Sign,” I propose that the sense of sameness that is offered by the illusion of cloning allows one to establish a sense of identity. In a final analysis, I will elaborate on Finkelstein’s arguments on the Self and Other to shed light on the question posed by Philips on whether cloning was the death or apotheosis of individualism, and suggest that cloning has the paradoxical outcome of reinforcing individualism even as one seeks uniformity. Cloning is supposed to lead to conformity and uniformity, the absolute sameness. Phillips argues that cloning is appealing to society because it seems to represent a cure for “the terrors and delights of competition” (90-91). What is interesting, however, is the eventual admission by Phillips that this absolute sameness is impossible as “people, in actuality, can never be identical” (94) due to the difference in our individual histories and environment - among other factors which influences our individuality. This admission by Phillips prompts us to further ponder a question he poses in his essay: “Is cloning the death or the apotheosis of individualism” (88)? If we consider cloning as...

...MARKETING STRATEGY FOR JUBBLY NAME To make it more appealing to the customers , we are planning to change the product’s name. We have chose “Fun-dae” to replace “Jubbly” because we think that it is more emotive and inspiring. The word fun because we want the customers to have fun during and after eating the ice-cream.

...Socially constructed ideas of childhood are not only time but place specific. This means that many of the normal assumptions that we hold about children in the west are culturally specific in the global north seen as time of dependence where as in the global south so many children make contribution to their households. children’s identities are made and remade through everyday spaces such as home, school ect. This concerned on the fears that some children are vulnerable to dangers in public such as the little angels and the other children known as the little devils can risk adult control of public space. On the other end of the age spectrum, the older people have an expansion of interest and even here researchers base their work on social rather than biological understanding of identity with social differences. The ways older people frame their leisure activities in ways maintain positive images of themselves through contrast with other...

...Running head: MISSION, VISION, AND VALUES: DAIRY QUEEN Mission, Vision and Values: Dairy Queen University of Phoenix MMPBL/590 February 1, 2010 The Dairy Queen system's recipe for success has been simple for more than 60 years. It's been a combination of hard-working people who own and operate restaurants and great-tasting food and tempting treats served in our establishments. The founders of the Dairy Queen system were men and women who introduced a new kind of dessert treat and, in the process, developed the foundation of the franchising industry. The history of the Dairy Queen system is a story of a unique product that created an industry (Dairy Queen, 2007). The story of Dairy Queen began on August 4, 1938, with a ten cent product, in Kankakee, Illinois. A father and son in the mix plant business in Green River, Illinois, had been experimenting with a soft frozen dairy product for some time. They contacted Sherb Noble, a good friend and customer, who agreed to run the "all you can eat" trial sale at his walk-in ice cream store. Within two hours, he dished out more than 1,600 servings of the new dessert. Back then, food franchising was all but unheard of, but the new product's potential made it a natural for such a system. When the United States entered World War II in December 1941, there were less than 10 Dairy Queen stores. However shortly after the war, the system took off at a pace virtually unrivaled before or since. With only 100 stores in 1947, it grew...

...An Ethics of Reading At the age of nine, Edith Wharton fell ill with typhoid. The local doctor told her parents nothing could be done and that their daughter would soon die. Only the ministrations of another physician, who happened to be passing through town and was prevailed upon to examine the girl, saved her life. Her fever fell, and the young Wharton began to recover. During her convalescence, she read voraciously. One of the books she was given contained a “super-natural” tale — a story which turned out to be, in Wharton’s own phrase, “perilous reading” (Wharton, p.275). In the original manuscript of her autobiography, Edith Wharton describes how reading this uncanny story occasioned a relapse, which brought her, once again, “on the point of death”: This one [book] brought on a serious relapse, and again my life was in danger and when I came to myself, it was to enter a world haunted by formless horrors. I had been a naturally fearless child; now I lived in a state of chronic fear. Fear of what? I cannot say — and even at the time, I was never able to formulate my terror. It was like some dark undefinable menace forever dogging my steps, lurking, threatening; (pp.275‑6).[1] According to Wharton, an act of reading plunged her body back into fatal illness. The young Edith Wharton did recover from the relapse, but its uncanny effects continued to haunt her well into adulthood. In “Women and Madness: the Critical Phallacy” (1975), Shoshana Felman tells another uncanny...

...Life will have its obstacles some can be meaningless and the answer will be clear as day. However there will be those challenges that will define who you are as a person. Its happened to me, I’ve had to dig deep and take a moment to see what really is important to me. Self-reflecting I found what life lessons define who I am as a human. That is why I profess treating others as you’d like to be treated, work hard for what is important to you and don’t hold grudges. Those three lessons have gotten me out of the toughest and most challenging situations life has thrown at me. The golden rule, we’ve all heard about it countless books and nursery rhymes are based solely on the idea of treating others, as you’d like to be treated. It’s a principle in the bible “whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also for them” Mathew 7:12 Treating others the way Id like to be treated gives me self-satisfaction that’s a feeling like no other. The most recent time that I remember feeling self satisfaction was about a week ago. Driving from Kansas to Arkansas you wont see much but open fields cars and the occasional cowherd. But halfway through my drive I saw a man walking down the highway I glanced at my GPS there was nothing for miles. I quickly pulled over to the right side of the road and asked him if he needed a ride. He was in shock but said yes at first there was an awkward silence, but that all ended when he realized I was in the army. He told me he was in the army and served...

...refuse to flow. Often, this is a result of a clash of the conversational styles of the two people involved. One may be all enthusiasm and sympathy; the other may be quiter and more private. As a result, the other backs off. Another problem is when someone is not interested enough in the other person. A. Improving Your Style Good conversation requires diplomacy and tact. It is give and take. Avoid the following conversation killers: 1. Talking too much. 2. Talking too little. 3. Interrupting. 4. Too much personal disclosure. 5. Going into too much detail. 6. Constantly bringing the conversation back to you. The conversation of most people is all "I", "myself" and "me". Don't fall into this trap. 7. Trying to be funny all the time. 8. Imitating the other person's accent. 9. Being too critical. Being Too Critical Some people are hopeless perfectionists. The standards they demand of life are impossibly high. As a result, most things fall short of their standard and friends stay away from them. Little can be gained from being critical unless: 1. You are criticizing something that can actually be changed. 2. You offer an alternative to the thing you are criticizing. 3. You are specific and clear about what you are criticizing and why. 4. You let others know that what you are saying is only your opinion. 5. You balance your criticism with praise. Remember that people can sense criticism even...

...Service is willingness to help those who are less fortunate by sharing your skills, talents, and knowledge with them without anything in return. We are very lucky to be an instrument of our God to be a servant to those who are in need. Not all of us will be given a chance to be included in this program, but all of us have the choice to serve others even without this kind of program. This National Service Training Program is only a bridge, and we have the decision if we will follow the path and reach out those who are in the other side. At first I was afraid on how will I do my task in this course because I admit that I am really not good at teaching or sharing my ideas and knowledge to other persons. On the other hand, the one that pushed me to believe that I can was that my love for children. I really love kids, they are very charming and what I like about them was that everything that they see was all beautiful. I remember when I said that, “Ang panget ko talaga”, a child reacted against me, “Hindi po kaya. Maganda po kaya.” Also with the help of our professor Mr. Mariquit, who served as a model to us and continue to guide and motivate us. Every activity that we do in our group, it builds us to be a real servant. Yes, it is tiring and full of task, especially if we have an immersion. We have to find time in our hectic schedule to have a meeting regarding what will be the flow of our activities. It is very challenging, from outlining those activities, thinking how will we...

...stage. For romantic relationships physical impressions of appearance, dress, smell and so on are often important (for women too). General pleasantness is also important for social and business relationships. Experimentation If the parties show initial interested, they may next start exploring, looking for common interests, common acquaintances and other ground on which they can meet and share. In business relationships, there will also be investigation into what each person brings to the table that will add value to the business of the other person. Intensifying With enough in common, the people now start sharing more private information and checking for reciprocal sharing by the other person that signals their interest in deepening the relationship. This stage may also include spending more time together, gift-giving and declarations of affection. Advances may be made for further intimacy to test for the desire take things further. In business, this may include negotiation and contracting activity that will lead up to value creation and exchange.

Romantically, this may include sexual relationship and deep disclosure of shameful secrets. In business, this is where they start working together with each getting value from the arrangement, often directly financial or that will lead to financial benefit.

...Recognizing one’s location regarding conflict is integral to determining which direction they are headed next. To authentically assess where one is situated to conflict, an intersectional criteria of attitude, theology, skills, and spiritual formation are helpful. These four categories are intricately connected and influential to each other, and together they shape a holistic concept of conflict and conflict transformation which is essential in approaching such facets of life with authenticity and integrity. My attitude regarding conflict is not a healthy one for conflict is unavoidable, particularly for someone seeking life in ordained ministry where mediation will be expected. “Conflict” has long been a dirty word in my mind, though I am...

...The ability to listen more effectively may be acquired through discipline and practice. As a listener one should physically and mentally prepare yourself for the communication. We must be physically relaxed and mentally alert to receive and understand the message. Effective listening requires sustained concentration (regardless of the length of the message), attention to the main ideas presented, note-taking (if the conditions are appropriate), and no emotional blocks to the message by the listener. You cannot listen passively and expect to retain the message. If you want to be an effective listener, you must give the communicator of the message sufficient attention and make an effort to understand his viewpoint. Guides to Effective Listening Skills Here are some practical suggestions for effective listening which, if followed, can appreciably increase the effectiveness of this communicative skill. Realize that listening is hard work. It is characterized by faster heart action, quicker blood circulation, and a small rise in body temperature. Researchers have found that the higher we climb on the organizational ladder, the more difficult listening becomes. In day-to-day conversations, show the communicator you are interested by looking and acting like you are. Prepare to listen. To receive the message clearly, the receiver must have the correct mental attitude. In your daily communications, establish a permissive environment for each communicator. Recognize your own biases...
