Specific Purpose: To educate the audience on BASE jumping and what they need to do before they are able to participate in the sport.
Thesis: Before you can participate in the sport of BASE-jumping three things you have to do are: complete 150 skydives, receive direct qualified instruction on BASE equipment, its maintenance, its packing, and its use, & you should receive direct qualified instruction on the techniques of BASE jumping.
Introduction:
Attention Getter: Has anyone in here ever been told to go jump off a cliff, or heard that phrase before? Well I am going to give you a whole new perspective on that phrase!
Thesis: There are three things you must do before you can begin your first BASE jump though. One, complete 150 skydives (diving out of a plane). Two, receive direct qualified instruction on BASE equipment, its maintenance, its packing, and its use. Three, you should receive direct qualified instruction on the techniques of BASE jumping.
Preview: I am going to let you in on everything you need to know about skydiving, and how it leads you BASE jumping. First by explaining the levels you have to go through to skydive solo, then how much experience you need before you can BASE jump.
I. Completing 150 skydives can’t be done over night, there are several levels you have to go through before you can even dive on your own.
A. Your first few times you should do tandems.
1. In my own experience, I have gone on...

Baseball is a fascinating sport that is exceptionally fun to play. This assignment is all about understanding the physics of a few key aspects of this sport. One might ask what physics could have to do with baseball? Like most sports baseball involves physical motion. Baseball encompasses all three planes of motion through throwing, hitting, and fielding. All of the classical laws of mechanics can be applied to understand the physics of this game.
A standing broad jump is a jump for distance from a standing position. It can be divided into four temporal phases: countermovement, propulsion, flight, and landing. In the countermovement phase, the subject squats to load up and extends the shoulders and the arms. In the propulsion phase, the goal is to generate enough force to propel the body forward. The person must stand erect in full extension of the trunk, hips, and knees. Then, the person flexes at the hip and the knee, which results with the trunk being rotated in a forward direction. Next, the arms become slightly flexed to hyperextension, to full flexion. Prior to the flight phase, the body goes into full extension. The flight phase begins as soon as the feet have left the ground. During this phase, the body stays in full extension or can become hyperextended. Towards the end of the flight phase, the trunk rotates forward in an anterior direction along with minor hip and knee flexion just before landing. During the landing phase, the knees and the hips are in maximum flexion and forward rotation of the trunk. There is also arm movement by moving both arms in the vertical direction to improve jumping distance. At the onset of the jump, the arm swings forward and during landing, they swing back and forth.
The Romans used both scientific and mythological methods in their medicine. By adopting the methods of Greek medicine; the Romans obtained a solid foundation. They copied Hippocrates, who separated the study of medicine from philosophy and had an overall approach to the health of humans. Hippocrates also observed the habits and environment of humans to accurately determine illnesses and discover treatments. The Romans adapted the Hippocratic method and combined it with mythical and religious views. The Romans used Greek methods, and also included prayers and offerings to the gods. Although all gods had healing powers, Aesculapius, the god of healing, was the most important.
European traders worked closely with African merchants to gain their human cargo. Where once they had traded textiles and alcohol for gold and ivory, Europeans now traded muskets, metalware, and linen for men, women, and children. Originally many of those sold into slavery were war captives. But by the time British and Anglo-American merchants became central to this notorious trade, their contacts in Africa were procuring labor in any way they could. The cargo included war captives, servants, and people snatched in raids specifically to secure slaves. Over time, African traders moved farther inland to fill the demand, devastating large areas of West Africa, particularly the Congo-Angola region, which supplied some 40 percent of all Atlantic slaves.
Anti-torture voices have been left sounding defensive, and incoherent. Our Constitution are rules that guide our nation. It was drafted by those who looked around the world in earlier years and saw persecution, torture, and other crimes against humanity and believed that America is much better than that. These values have been preached to the world. There are certain lines that have been made clear that Americans do not cross because we respect the dignity of every human being. “To preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution”, every president has promised our country as an oath of office. Most believe that this inhumane treatment is sure to bring cruel mental torm...
Torture is “the action or practice of inflicting severe pain on someone as a punishment or to force them to do or say something, or for the pleasure of the person inflicting the pain”(Oxford dictionary). National laws condemn the use of torture techniques, but can it ever be justified? Can torture be alleged as a moral act under certain circumstances?
Before a diver jumps off of a springboard, he does a sort of hop-skip step called a hurdle. After doing a few steps, the diver leaps up into the air with his arms raised. When he lands back down on the tip of the board, he swings his arms down past his legs and then up, leaping into the air and off of the board.
The Trans-Atlantic slave trade was the largest long-distance suppressed movement of people in history. The African Slave trade movement during the 17th century was instrumental for Europe’s suffering work force, as every aspect/stage of slave trade benefitted merchants. Because Africans had a reputation of being hard working, agriculturally knowledgeable, adaptable to climate, and resistant to disease, they were objectified and stripped of their identity as humans, and pushed to work without consent. The trans-Atlantic slave trade was a process of dehumanizing a group of people, in order to revamp the European economy.

Scent within the novel Perfume by Patrick Suskind has been regarded as a supernatural element that transcends the physical realm and into the spiritual. In 18th Century France, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with the supernatural ability to smell, while lacking his own individual odour. The power of scent is revealed to have manipulative qualities that shape the way an individual perceives someone based off odour. Suskind uses the characters of Grenouille and Madame Gaillard to convey the effect that scent has on the emotional spirituality of humans as both have a disability with their olfactory sense. Grenouille utilises the power of scent to create his own perfume which emphasizes scent possessing qualities beyond the natural world.
The movement of African captives by Europeans to America and European countries was known as the trans-Atlantic slave trade, which “began in the 15th century” (Adi). Africans were enslaved to do difficult labour, such as building railroads and working on plantations, for little to no cost for their owners. Africans tried to hold
