In a similar vein, the consumer culture in sport and sporting events is also greatly gendered in the past. The consumption of sport and sporting events appeared in every culture that provides a mechanism which reinforced and defined a separation between men and women. Studies throughout history (e.g. Hargreaves, 1994; Bell, 2008) noted that sports for women (e.g. golf and croquet) were more informal and recreational in nature, that women who consume sport are required to adorn beauty and indolence

Introduction: The 2012 London Olympics was a phenomenal media event, with the BBC reporting that 90% of the UK population tuned in to watch at least fifteen minutes of the television coverage.

I am 15 years old and attend Ringwood School in the New Forest. The age range is pupils in the upper year (year 9 to year 11 excluding 6th form).

of actions. Most philosophers and physicists would agree that events have specific causes, especially events in nature. The question becomes more controversial when philosophers discuss the interaction between human beings, or agents, and the world. If one holds the belief that all actions and events are caused by prior events, it would seem as though he would be accepting determinism. For if an event has a particular cause, the event which follows must be predetermined, even if this cause relates
For the most part, the probability matrix for $P^2$ is the same as the probability matrix for $B^2$; however, there is one important distinction to be made. Which is that while $B^2[5,0] = \frac{1}{3}$ in the quantum simulation $P^2[5,0] = 0$. On a mathematical basis, this is trivially written as $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\bigg(\frac{-1+i}{\sqrt{6}}\bigg) + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\bigg(\frac{1-i}{\sqrt{6}}\bigg) = \frac{-1+i}{\sqrt{12}} + \frac{1-i}{\sqrt{12}} = 0$$ This may seem troubling at first, but it

One Event Changed Everything “Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.” -Anon. After living in a place I loved for eleven years, I did not think that I would be able to have the same feelings or emotions towards another place.
declared a ‘event-making man’, according to the criteria of the Great Man Theory? Did he truly influence the course of history through his own extraordinary acts of will and leadership? Or was he simply a fortunate man who appeared in the right place at the right time, being only the pawn of a greater scheme? By following and exploring the political ideals and abilities of Caesar, as well as his military ability and prowess, this essay hopes to clearly demonstrate that he was indeed a great ‘event-making
Error in Human Reasoning Although humans are the only animals that reason, we do not follow probability theory, a normative model, very closely in our everyday reasoning. The conjunction fallacy is one of the major errors that humans commit when dealing with problems that involve probability. Exemplified by Linda the feminist bank teller, this problem occurs when we assume that a conjunction of two premises is more likely than one or more of the premises alone. According to probability
