The history of free-throw; James Naismith created by a game that was non-violent. He wrote 13 rules of his game and labeled it basketball while he prepared teaching a gym class at the YMCA in Springfield, Mass in 1891.

There are two types of utilitarianism; act and rule utilitarianism. Act utilitarianism is choosing an action that will result in the majority of the people benefitting or has the best consequences…
came about the American life. It all started in the year 1845 when Alexander Cartwright made a rule book of baseball rules for the Knickerbocker Club of New York. This is claimed to be where the main rules of baseball were adapted from. Alexander Cartwright owned the team “Knickerbockers”, and he made the rules to play…
One of the reasons why many find the sport of baseball boring is because the majority of them don’t understand the rules of the game. I find baseball games to be completely consuming. Yeah, I know, it’s just a game. Unless you know the rules to the game, it’s hard to really appreciate all that goes on. One pitch can change the whole outcome of a game; one play can turn out to be more than what it seems. The home runs, the walks, the line drives made by good players on the disable list will bring…
created thirteen rules, which are very similar to the rules today. Many of the rules are almost exactly the same, but with little changes or additions. For example, rule number one is the rule that the ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands. That rule is still current today except, once the ball passes the midcourt line, it cannot be passed back behind the midcourt line. Rule number two states that the ball can be batted in any direction, but never with a fist. This rule is…
famous case Mapp v. Ohio, the exclusionary rule has a fair share of critics who argue that police blunders let criminals go free. In the 1961 Supreme Court case, Dollree Mapp was convicted when police searched her house ,under a false warrant, for a suspected bomb fugitive and found “lewd, lavicious, or obscene material”, otherwise known as pornography.

Exclusionary rules are important and these rules still have an impact and influence in the judicial system and were created as a response to the ways police gathered their evidence. Police arrest and prosecutors charge those accused of crimes and the Bill of Rights or first ten amendments include the exclusionary rule. The exclusionary rule is what prohibits the prosecutor from using any evidence at all that was illegally obtained for a trial. One rule of exclusion is the proper…

arrest her in Utah. She was a suspect in a hit-and-run DUI crash in 2013. The vehicle involved was spotted by a witness in Brierley’s garage. When the officers arrived they were met by a cleaning lady that said Brierley was in the back room. She left to go get her. When she came back the maid told the officers that Brierley told her to say that she wasn’t there. The maid then left to get Brierley’s father’s phone number, leaving the door open. The officers then stepped inside and began looking…
digital video last year I had some experience but I can always learn more. I looked over some past movies and scripts that I made and wondered how I could make it better and expanded upon that by researching different filming techniques like the thirds rule, wide and narrow shots, etc.. I was also interested in the general idea of film in the jazz age, and decided to research more into that. Since filming and editing, while similar, are both very important in their own…
