We launched the Fiba33 form of the game designed to stimulate the interest of young people wanting to play basketball anywhere in the world.” in line with a strategy to increase participation by women and girls in the game, a special seminar designed to generate new thinking on the subject will be held at the time of the Women’s World Championship in the Czech republic in late september – early October. “We want new interest and new ideas in this area,” said elphinston. “We have the structure of the world game just about right now.” He said that for him one of the landmarks of his term in offi ce was getting the new Fiba headquarters project off the ground. 2010 FIBA WORLD CONGRESS Opening “this was the realisation of an idea that had been in place for many years: our own permanent Fiba headquarters.

According to research, as much as 610,000 people suffer from migraines in the United Kingdom alone, this translates as 1 in 7 adults suffer from the condition (The Migraine Trust, 2009). The MIE-TRAKR is an innovative new device that provides an alternative solution to tackling migraines, than existing treatments, products and medications. The MIE-TRAKR is a wearable technology that senses and measures multiple variables that are attributed to or are warning signs to migraines. The premise of the product is to help educate the user with their specific migraines whilst also acting as a companion to help their body perform better and avoid the potential for migraines. The device can detect the following: Skin Temperature (Live Updates) Skin Moisture Activity (Live Updates) Pulse (Live Updates) Light Exposure (Continuous) Sleep Quality (MIE-SLEEPR) As a piece of non-prescriptive design, the product can be used in any way that the user specifies, allowing the user to get on with day-to-day tasks with an unobtrusive device. ^ Figure 1 (Own Image, 2014) i Mohammed Soheb Hossain 11012628 Product Design Technology Individual Project - UFMEDM-60-3 Introduction Page 1 Design Brief Page 2 Research & Insight Pages 3-5 The Inspiration Pages

  • Neenah Streetball Tournament Rules
    Neenah StreetBall Tournament Rules The following rules are intended to ensure fair play for all participants. StreetBall promotes sportsmanship as a crucial aspect of the tournament. Observance of the rules, along with sportsmanship and respect for opposing team members and officials helps ensure a safe and enjoyable weekend for everyone. NFHS Basketball Rules will be followed in determining violations and fouls, except for changes below. Also, note that 3- seconds in the lane and 5-second closely guarded rules will not apply as court size is limited in 3-on-3. SPORTSMANSHIP Good sportsmanship is expected from all participants and spectators at StreetBall. Either the team captain or designated parent (if applicable) is responsible to aid in controlling the conduct of teammates and team followers and will act as the sole team spokesperson at all times. Poor sportsmanship could result in the assessing of penalties against a team in either the Technical or Flagrant foul categories (see Fouls). Failure to comply with the sportsmanship standards of StreetBall, with such acts as fighting, taunting, intimidating, excessive arguing, or verbally attacking a player, spectator, or tournament official can lead to the immediate removal of the offending player, team, or spectator from the tournament. Removal from the tournament will, at a minimum, result in the suspension from the next year’s StreetBall event. No alcoholic beverages will be allowed on-site. Drunken or disorderly players will not be allowed to play. NUMBER OF PLAYERS Teams may consist of either three (3) or four (4) players that are registered by the tournament entry deadline.

    550_600_DBB_Layout 1 07.02.18 13:26 Seite 551 Das Phänomen „Basketball“ DBB Erfindung – Begeisterung – Verbreitung Adressen Das Basketball-Spiel, mehr als ein Jahrhundert alt, wurde von J. NAISMITH erfunden. Seine Erfindung weist zwei bemerkenswerte Parallelen zur Er- findung des Schießpulvers durch BERTHOLD SCHWARZ auf, nämlich – die ungeheuerliche explosive Wirkung sowie – die Tatsache, dass es sich in beiden Fällen um die Wiederentdeckung LV handelt, wobei sich allerdings beide Erfinder dieser Tatsache nicht be- Adressen wusst waren. Die Entdeckung des Schießpulvers durch die Chinesen geriet ebenso wieder in Vergessenheit wie ein von verschiedenen Kulturvölkern gepfleg- tes basketballähnliches Spiel. Wissenschaftler haben nachgewiesen, dass ein solches TOP-TAPOK genanntes Spiel, bei dem ein Ball durch einen Ring geworfen werden musste, bereits von den Mayas, den Azte- ken und den Inkas und vor nahezu 1000 Jahren unter der Bezeichnung GVO SOULE-PICARDE von den Normannen gespielt wurde. Satzung / Der persische Philosoph OMAR KHAYYAM (1100 n. Chr.) sagt in einem sei- ner Sinnsprüche: „Du bist der Ball, mit dem das Schicksal spielt, weil Gott, der willenlose Bälle wirft, seit 1000 Jahren nach dem Fangkorb zielt.“ Wie das Phänomen „Basketball“ der jüngeren Zeit entstand und sich von der Idee eines Genies bis zur bedeutendsten Sportart der Welt mit mehr Ordnungen / als 450 Millionen Spielern in der Welt (die FIBA hat zzt. 215 Nationen als Ausschreibungen Mitglieder) und in Deutschland entwickelte, wird nachfolgend dargestellt. SPRINGFIELD 1891 (Massachusetts – USA) Studenten der Internationalen Sporthochschule der Y.M.C.A. (Christlicher Verein junger Männer) fordern vom Direktor der Schule, DR.LUTHER GULICK, ein Spiel als Alternative zu der eintönigen Gymnastik, das Bundesligen im Winter in der Sporthalle und im Sommer im Freien betrieben werden kann, um so auch die langen Winterabende abwechslungsreicher gestalten zu können.
