In the other penultimate encounter, bet,ween first-placed Hungary from Group A, and second placed Sweden from Group B, a battle royal ensued with the Hungarians pulling back a 0-3 deficit to 3-3 and level­ ling again at 4-4 before the blonde Carlsson got t,he Swedes home 5-4 with a ninth set victory 12" 1'7 over Istvan Jonyer.

  • Table Tennis - Overview Table Tennis, Also Called Ping Pong, Is a Sport That Originated in the Victorian Period in England
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Table Tennis - Overview Table tennis, also called ping pong, is a sport that originated in the Victorian period in England. High-class people used to play table tennis after dinner. It was initially played by stacking books at the center of a table and hitting a golf ball with thick books. Table tennis needs a lot of attention and speed. Professional table tennis is played on a hard table which is divided by a net. Players stand opposite to each other, and hit a lightweight ball with a small round bat across the table. Spinning the ball makes the chances of hitting the ball a lot less. So, players tend to spin the ball before serving it to the opponent. Table tennis is played as singles as well as doubles. It is played in both men’s and women’s category. Table tennis is played by the rules set by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). Participating Countries Table tennis is not confined to England only. It is an Olympic sport and is played by many countries. Unlike any other sport, table tennis is governed by different governing bodies responsible for that particular continent’s table tennis. The top most governing bodies, apart from International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), are European Table Tennis Union (ETTU) for Europe and USA Table Tennis THANKS FOR READING – VISIT OUR WEBSITE www.educatererindia.com COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 (USATT) for United States.

    Geographies of the ethnic minority children in Chinese cinema (1990s and 2000s): rurality, ethnicity and nationalism Zhenhui Yan A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Languages Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences June 2018 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Yan First name: Zhenhui Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Humanities and Languages Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Title: Geographies of the ethnic minority children in Chinese cinema (1990s and 2000s): rurality, ethnicity and nationalism Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The subject of ethnic minority children and childhoods has attracted Chinese filmmakers over the past three decades, yet relevant research is rare. The thesis draws on theories in cinematic landscape and children’s geographies to explore how ethnic minority childhood experience is constructed cinematically. What in particular is made of rurality versus urban living, how are such geographies imagined, and how do these vistas and landscapes facilitate the understanding of the children’s identities and reflect certain ideological agendas of filmmakers in the context of a Han-dominated multi-ethnic nation during its rapid social-political transformations in the 1990s and 2000s? In individual chapters, various theoretical approaches are also deployed, such as the idea of natural space in a musical, a rural idyllic childhood, focalisation in film narrative, relational construction of space, transitional space of play and media’s impact on identity construction. The thesis concludes that, in different historical periods, the ethnic minority children’s connections with rural space carry different connotations.
