For my 2016 Family and Consumer Science mastery project, I went made a throw pillow, that is made to hold items like remotes, out of an old pair of jeans. I found the idea for this project on Pinterest, but with no instructions attached. Before I started the project, I knew that I had to have a plan of what to do. So, I sat down and thought it all through. I thought about what I would need to do from when I turned on the machine to when I turned it off. After I had slept on my plan, I went to the

When Goldilocks began to feel, That she would like a proper meal, She put on her gloves, her hat, her mac, And went to the shops to find a snack. Through the woods her short-cut went, Down a path that was long and bent. On her way she picked up flowers; It helped to pass away the hours. Then round the corner did she see, A house as pretty as could be, She stopped and stared, then tried to decide, Whether anyone was inside. The house was empty, the house was bare, Except for porridge

The Heian period was a very long time ago and everything back then was completely different. Men were considered to be powerful and would be in charge of women, while women would have to be submissive. The men would spot a woman and it seems almost instantly, he would be extremely attracted and want her. There are many different characteristics that make up men and women of the Heian period, compared to present day; love, attraction, and power are perceived very differently. The definition of
and status. This period of history produced an abundance of “feminine vernacular” literature. It gives us insight into life as a court lady; a woman nearest the top of a female’s socially stratified existence. Sei Shōnagon is famous for her work The Pillow Book. Sei Shōnagon said it herself in “Women and High Office”, that women had to be, more or less, born into their high status roles; whereas, men had the ability to slither their way up the totem pole through “promotions”. This, in itself, outlines
popular sport among all ages. Dr. James A. Naismith was born in Canada but invented the game of basketball in the United States. He invented basketball by using a rectangular backboard that is 6feet wide and 4feet high. The court includes a free throw line that is 12feet long. A regulated court should be around 94feet long and 50feet wide. For all pro, college, and high school games the goal must at least be up 10feet high. To decide who gets to get the ball first, each team must have one player
basketball games are decided on whether a team will win or lose by how well they perform at the free throw line. A free throw is the only time where the game is being play and the clock is stopped, players stop, and the ball is in an individual’s hand, with them and the basket. Since there are no defenders trying to block or alter their shot most coaches and spectators wonder what makes someone miss a free throw. Research literature shows that both psychological and physical factors play a role. Many athletes
Skill retention is a motor memory process that is achieved through a number of practice sessions. The process is dependent on a number of variables that happen throughout the acquisition of the skill. In early stages of life, a child will be presented with the challenge of completing several motor tasks vital to daily life.

Introduction In 1998, the average NFL coaches averaged $134,000 (Weir, 2005). The average player salary was approximately $1.1 million dollars. Money was not a major contributor to whether coaches and athletes ethically played the game. Teams would compete to win the game with integrity. Nothing was worth winning, if it could not be done in a manner which brought positive publicity to a coach, player, or team. The average NFL salary for a head coach this past season was $3.25 million dollars, with

The History of the pentathlon The history of the pentathlon stems from the complete physical training of the Greeks. The pentathlete was the product of training in five events, unlike those athletes who were trained in specialized areas. It began as an athletic competition to determine the best all-around athlete. The pentathlon was introduced into the Olympic Games around 708 B.C. Each pentathlete was superior in strength and activity, which was the ideal physical beauty. The ideal pentathlete
The Discobolus is one of the most recognisable and influential artistic pieces to emerge from Ancient Greece. The Discobolus was a bronze sculptured depicting an athlete throwing a discus and was created by prolific Greek artist Myron of Eleutherae (Harris & Zucker 2012). Although a precise date of creation is unknown, it is widely theorised that the sculpture was created between 450 and 460 BCE (Harris & Zucker 2012). Myron’s original Discobolus no longer exists, with evidence indicating that it
“If athletes could think any way they wanted and still play their best game, winning would be determined by skill and effort alone.” (Valiante & Stachura, 2005) It can be a head scratcher to see an athlete go from near perfection, to looking as if he or she has never played a game in their career. Take your everyday baseball pitcher for instance. He can go from being un-hittable, too not being able to hit the strike zone. How often do you see a golfer play three amazing days, but when reality sets
