However, they failed to make the NBA championship finals. In 1989, Phil Jackson became the Bulls’ head coach. Under Jackson, Jordan became more of a team player, although he remained the NBA’s leading scorer. Jordan developed an incredible “court sense.” He knew where every player was on the basketball court, and what was the best play for the circumstances. In the 1990-1991 season, the Bulls won their first of three straight NBA championships. In 1993, Jordan retired from basketball. He tried to make it in professional baseball, but he had little success. He rejoined the Bulls in 1995. In the 1995- 1996 season, the Bulls started another run of three straight championships. Jordan retired for a second time in 1998. He became part owner of the NBA’s Washington Wizards. The Wizards were not a good team. Jordan grew frustrated watching them lose. So in 2001, he came out of retirement again and played two seasons with the Wizards. JORDAN’S RECORD

During college, Chapman began street-performing and playing guitar in coffeehouses in Cambridge. After graduating from Tufts, she released the album called "Tracy Chapman" (1988). The album was critically acclaimed, and she began touring and building a fanbase. Brooks's integration of rock elements into his recordings and live performances made him very popular and allowed him to dominate the country music. Troubled by conflicts between career and family, in 2001 Brooks officially retired from recording and performing. To sum up, it can be said that both artists are very popular. They do melodic and exciting music and they also have a very good impact on people because of their calming and great styles.

When one employee of the company, a man named William Murdoch, experimented with high pressure steam engines, Watt discouraged him from patenting and continuing his work, even though his engines were potentially much better and smaller than the ones Watt himself had invented. Murdoch never patented his design, and returned to fixing Watt's own engines. Later Murdoch made another important contribution to gas lighting. He retired from business in the year 1800, giving up to his two sons his interest in the extensive and prosperous business which Boulton had created at Soho. He died at Heathfield, in Staffordshire, on the 25th of August, 1819, in his eightyfourth year. In 1882, 63 years after Watt's death, the British Association gave his name to the unit of electrical power and today James Watt's name is to be found written on almost every lightbulb in the world.

That was the time she resigned her occupation and retired. Tough life had left its marks on her, as she was mentally disturbed

It was a strained relationship at best. As elsewhere in New Spain ultimate political power in California was exercised by Spanish born political, military, and religious personalities. As time went on the Criollo (American born Spaniards) grew more numerous.

The House of Lords Members are not elected. They used to have more power but like the power of the monarch it has reduced significantly. No bill can't become a law unless the HoL accepts it but after six months it will become a law anyway. Usually the member own an aristocratic title or they are retired from the House of Commons. Usually parties are very keen to send their older members (who once were in the leadership of the party) into the HoL this gives the party the opportunity to pay them some respect and the same time get rid of them. HoL is like a forum, since they don't depend on parties they can bring some matter to the public that the Parliament has been ignoring. Plus they discuss new laws much more in details.

Because of his greatness, the 17th century could almost be called the Age of Newton. Newton was in his own lifetime not regarded as a genius by his contemporaries.
