...Bandwagon Jumper Aldo Pillitteri PHI221_3_20140728M_OL_Introduction to Logic Saturday, August 16th 2014 Daniel Marcelle Bandwagon Jumper The bandwagon fallacy stands out to me and makes the most sense. I’ve always been a firm believer in understanding and comprehending the world around through your eyes and ears. In the video, comedian Jason Sudeikis illustrates that if one person is to yell out during a presidential speech it is misconduct but if everyone yells out at the same time then it is preserved in a different way. He also brings up a valid point during the skit. He says, “It’s like being in grade school again, if one person does it then they get in trouble but if everyone does it no one gets in trouble. This is a great example of what the bandwagon foundation is built on. There have been many sayings in life that can be chalked up to the bandwagon fallacy, such the countless headers of magazines or commercials that read or say, “7 in 10 doctors recommend…..” Another famous one that never shies away from the history books is, “the entire world used to believe the earth was flat,” not exactly backed by hard facts but still we see it as if it were. No matter what the capacity, just because a celebrity, or doctor or a great commercial endorses something, by no means does that make it any more or any less of difference. It basically boils down to how people perceive it, either way they are still part of the bandwagon fallacy. There are ways to avoid falling into...

...In Sam Patch: The Famous Jumper by Paul E. Johnson the life and exploits of America’s first daredevil are explored. Johnson is a U.S. History professor at the University of South Carolina who has written several novels that are used today in colleges all over America. This novel tells a story of a former mill boy who became a celebrity by performing dangerous stunts at a time when factories and the idea of modern celebrity were just beginning to take shape. Sam Patch inhabited and helped to shape an America in which things like factory work and modern celebrity were beginning to happen. Although Johnson states that the biographical trail is essentially dead he does concede to the basic facts of Sam Patch’s life. He was raised in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, a mill town made up predominately of woman and children. After his father’s abandonment, his mother was left no choice but to become head of the household and Sam Patch and his siblings were thrust into the workforce. Johnson describes Sam Patch as “not a good boy”, and at an early age, developed a taste for alcohol and stunts. Johnson characterizes Patch as “as a drunkard with a powerful suicidal drive…” Although his family...

...simply known as the flop. High jump can be broken down into three stages: the run up phase or approach, the takeoff phase, and the flight or bar clearance phase. By understanding these three stages and the different laws of physics that make them up, one will have a much greater understanding of the most exciting event in track and field. The first part of high jump is the approach or the run up. The most important parts of the run up are the J-curve and the speed. It is important to maximize the amount of speed that a runner brings to the bar; therefor the approach is run along a curve in the shape of a J. As the jumper begins his approach, he should start in a bounding motion, pulling the foot heel-to-toe as he pulls the ground. This produces a higher amount of static friction that keeps the foot from sliding on the ground (Weiner). This also allows the jumper to build up his speed through the J curve. The next part of the approach, and most important, is the J curve. By running alongside a curve, the...

...071A0123 17 March 2009 SUSTAIN AIRBORNE TRAINING FOR THE T-11 PERSONNEL PARACHUTE SYSTEM Prior to Pre-jump Training, place the jumpers into a formation that allows the jumpmaster to easily control them and make on the spot corrections. The extended rectangular formation and the horseshoe formation are the two preferred formations. Prior to placing the jumpers into formation, ensure the jumpmaster team inspects the ballistic helmets, ID tags and ID cards. The jumpmasters or the safeties can accomplish this inspection. Although Pre-jump can be given by anyone on the jumpmaster team, the primary jumpmaster can delegate authority but not responsibility. Holding, running, one riser slips, and other information can be inserted into Pre-jump as the Airborne Commander sees fit. Although Pre-jump training should be tailored to fit the mission, emergency landings will always be covered due to the many variables involved with emergency situations; i.e. if jumpers have to conduct an emergency bailout over unfamiliar terrain. Pre-jump training is performance-oriented training and the jumpmaster team must ensure that the jumpers are performing the actions as they are being covered. During Pre-jump training, use the “HIT IT” exercise as often as needed to keep the jumpers actively involved. Jumpmasters will refer to their unit ASOPs for additional guidance. When Jumping the T-11 parachute from rotary wing aircraft the time between exit and full deployment...

...Closer Look At The Shape Of The High Jump Run-up By Jesus Dapena, Indiana University, U.S.A. Michiyoshi Ae, University of Tsukuba, Japan; Akira Iiboshi, Kagoshima University, Japan Thanks to some video analysis done by Iiboshi and his team, new information can now be plugged into the method for drawing the path of the high jumper's footprints on the ground. The original article by Dapena on this subject was in issue #131 of Track Coach. From this I gather elite jumpers have an unusual sense of finding the right spot to jump from. No matter what the differences are ... they get the runup to work. It is similar to Finnish javelin throwers, who may differ in the first part of the run, but who all seem to know what to do in the last two steps. The path of the footprints in a high jump runup can be idealized as a straight line perpendicular to the bar, followed by a circular arc which ends at the takeoff (Figure I). Such a path is de fined by the position of the takeoff foot (its x and y coordinates), the angle between the bar and the final direction of the footprints' path (f), and the radius of the curve (r). A method for drawing the path of the footprints on the ground was described in previous papers. (See Dapena, et aI., 1993; Dapena, 1995a.) However, the numerical values needed for the implementation of this method were based on limited information. Recent work by Iiboshi, et al. (1994) provides data that can help us to improve the design of the runup. They used a special...

...century in Scotland the first high jump event was recorded. During this time the jumpers used a straight on or a scissor kick technique. The high jump is a very unique event. The event has modernized from the 19th century. The high jump has certain rules an athlete must follow to be able to compete in the event. The different heights are chosen by the official personnel of the event during the meet. However the athlete and or competitor can chose to start at the standard height that the official set, or they can chose to pass to a higher height. Once the bar is raised it does not get lowered for anyone. Anytime an athlete has failed a height, they can chose to pass to the next height, but only if they do not use up all three of their three attempts. Also if they were to leave for another event without letting the official know, the bar would still be raised and they will not lower it and it will be considered as a pass for that height. At each height the jumpers are allowed three consecutive jumps, and if the athlete fails all three then the athlete is eliminated. Athletes are eliminated for knocking the bar off the supports, also known as the standards, and if they break the plain under the crossbar or beyond the standards. The athlete is given 90 seconds for each attempt; if it is not completed in that time it is considered as a failed attempt. When the high jump first started out, the jumpers used the techniques they used to keep themselves from getting hurt. Back then they...

...jumping can be fun but dangerous if the jumper is not careful. Bungee jumping originated in the Pentecost Islands in the New Hebrides where men of a native tribe proved their manhood and to ensure a good yam harvest by jumping off a bamboo tower, which was 25 meters high, with a vine tied to their feet. The more modern bungee jumping originated in New Zealand in the late 80s, when jumpers used a rubber rope. This began in April 1979 when four people bungee jumped off the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England, but bungee jumping became famous by A.J. Hackett, who jumped from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. His jump was on TV channels all over the world. As a result, became popular France, and eventually spread to other European countries, and is now a worldwide sport. It is also said that it originated from New Guinea. Men leaped from very tall wooden towers attached to the tower by vines tied to their ankles, it was originally used as a test of courage but has since been converted into a recreational activity and is seen to be a once in a lifetime thrilling experience. The sport is simple yet exciting; jumping from a tall platform i.e. a bridge or a crane whilst attached to a length of elastic chord. A lot of calculations must be done before a bungee jump to ensure the safety of the jumper. The chord must be exactly the right length to give the best (yet safest) possible experience. If the chord is too short the jumper may not feel the optimum thrill however...

...Extreme Sports in the United states of America Have you ever done something so extreme, that you've actually risked your life for it maybe? If so, why did you do it? Maybe to prove a point, but to who? Many people actually feel like they must make that impact in the world and prove a point to everyone else about being able to accomplish something maybe no one else could. It seems like a way to get attention possibly. Or maybe this just proves what people will actually do for money if it in fact was involved. It's actually said some people with personal experience to be more of a mental and spiritual thing to do, as opposed to a physical challenge, but there's no denying that you do work your legs, lung and ligaments. Everyday, daring people all over the world are participating in extreme sports like adventure racing, bull-fighting, in-line skating, bungee jumping, snow boarding and skateboarding. All of these sports involve a serious risk, and that's why they are called Extreme Sports (Now also known as action sports)wich is a general, somewhat hazily-defined term for a collection of newer sports involving adrenaline-inducing action. Starting with one of the most vigorous and growing sport in North America, adventure racing in 1999 will see up to 80 competitions for the sport alone. This means that tens of thousands of people will be participating, while many millions will be watching it on their very own televisions at home. Adventure racing includes completing...

...Case Study Part 1 Within the sport of track and field, athletes train to use their running, jumping and throwing skills to win competitions. Jumpers have the opportunity to compete in several events: long jump, triple jump, high jump or pole vault. Each event requires the athlete to maximize their jump which then gets measured to determine who had the longest distance. Due to the physical impact jumpers endure on their body, an athlete must train year round and focus on improving their endurance with speed, flexibility, plyometrics (jump training) and strength training during the off season.1 This typically occurs during the winter months. As the competition season approaches in the summer, the athlete begins to emphasis speed, technique and developing strength power.1 In addition to training, jumpers must encompass low body fat levels while being strong and muscular, to optimize their jumps. This is done by adhering to a strict diet that incorporates a variety and quantity of foods that meet nutritional requirements and allow for the development of muscle.1 A typical meal will include moderate portions of lean sources of protein, nutrient dense carbohydrates, appropriate snacks and limited amounts of energy dense foods. Leading up to competition, the diet will change to reduce the amount of fiber intake, increase hydration and maintaining blood glucose levels.1 Consequently, because the nature of the sport requires vigorous use of the legs, a majority of the injuries...
