change of direction while moving, increasing sphere of influence and allowing easier access to high priority spaces. For example, the crossover dribble, where the ball is quickly passed from one hand to the other, can be performed to deceive the defender as to the direction of penetration. These kinds of tactics can effectively reduce defensive reaction times as the defence can no longer anticipate the movement of the ball. Being able to shoot off…

Edward Abbey had said that the wild needed more defenders than defense. I wonder what he might’ve had meant by the wild needing more defenders, yet it needs no defense? Did Edward Abbey write this to notify those who do not care about nature?

Environmental groups, such as Defenders of Wildlife, are trying to put a stop to the war on wolves. In a recently launched campaign, Idaho’s War on Wolves, they focus their attention on the recent wolf killings in their state and potential legalization of wolf hunting.

Introduction In this essay, I will be specifically discussing the disparities between “White-Collar Criminals” and “Street Criminals” within the United States Justice System. In the United States, “White Collar Criminals” are 33.4% less likely to be convicted of their crimes than “Street Criminals”.

Player must make an easy pass, away from the defender and can use pass fakes to tackle the defense. Always catch the ball with the eyes, soft hands and be prepared for bad pass and don`t dribble until you catch the ball in both hands. While playing a match offensive player has to make some choices…

number of defenders of the Alamo stood at roughly only 200 men. They had no one else. For the Mexicans, though, with each passing day, more and more troops came to support the army under major Santa Ana, until the number of his troops reached almost 6,000. Shortly after his last troops arrived, Santa Ana gave orders to a few hundred men to surround the Alamo fortress and prevent anyone from leaving or entering.
