ME AND BASKETBALL ,,I want to make my body more balanced trough sport." (Socrates) Basketball is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports. Basketball was invented 1891 in Springfield by the local university physical education teacher James Naismith. He was trying to keep his gym class active on a rainy day. He sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters. After rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules and nailed a peach basket onto a 3,05 m elevated track. In contrast with modern basketball nets, this peach basket retained its bottom, and balls had to be retrieved manually after each "basket" or point scored. In January 1892 there was also the first official competition with nine players which ended at 1-0; the shot was made fron 7,6 m on a court just half the size of
THE REAL FABIO CAPELLO Independent, The (London), Dec 13, 2007 The Italian poised to become the new England manager is an admirer of the Pope and Silvio Berlusconi and praised the 'order' left by General Franco. The FA may be hoping he learns to keep his opinions to himself. By Cahal Milmo A touchline philosopher The blazerati of the Football Association are well known for their dislike of controversy. In the past, rampant publicity over the personal affairs of England managers has done little to endear them to the sport's mandarins. So a disciplined, conservative Italian who attempts to shun the limelight, avoids late nights and socialises outside football circles would appear to be their man. Yesterday, Fabio Capello sat down for talks with FA bosses that are expected to result in him being awarded a multi-million pound contract before Christmas. A perfect match? Well, possibly. There's just one thing. The conservatism that makes the61-year-old so appealing t

Advantages and disadvantages of television Television is one of the greatest achievements of the 20-th century. It is the most popular part of mass media. Today every family has a TV-set.

Igal õhtul kulutab ta vähemalt 10- 15 minutit maniküüri tegemiseks. Talle ei meeldi mängida arvutimänge. Minu isa hobideks on arvutid (juba selle pärast, et see on tema töö), jetiga sõitmine ja tehnika. Kui ta töölt koju tuleb, siis läheb ta esimese asjana kohe arvutisse. Enamus suvest käime me Valklas, kus sõidame palju jetiga. Talle ei meeldi rulluisutamine, sest see võtab palju energijat. Minu vennal on kaks hobi. Need on jalgpall ja rulaga sõitmine. Ta käib kolm korda nädalas jalgpalli trennis, kus ta käib juba 3. aastat. Ta kogub jalgpalli kaarte, tema lemmikuks mängijaks on ... kellest on tal väga palju postreid ja pilte. Rulaga sõitmine on tema üks hilisemaid hobisid. Ta avastas selle suvel, kui me nägime ühte poissi sellega trikke tegemas. Niisiis kinkisid vanemad talle jõuludeks rula. Ta oli selle üle väga rõõmus. Talle ei meeldi käsitöö, mis tunndub tema jaoks väga igav.
