ARCHERY

Archery is the art, practice, or skill of propelling arrows with the use of a bow. Archery has historically been used for hunting and combat; in modern times, however, its main use is that of a recreational activity. One who practices archery is typically known as an "archer" or "bowman," and one who is fond of or an expert at archery can be referred to as a "toxophilite."

Modern international competitive form
To shoot an arrow, an archer first assumes the correct stance. The body should be perpendicular to the target and the shooting line, with the feet placed shoulder-width apart. As an archer progresses from beginner to a more advanced level an 'open stance' is used/developed. Each archer will have a particular preference but mostly this term indicates that the leg furthest from the shooting line will be a half to a whole foot-length in front of the other, on the ground.

To load, the bow is pointed toward the ground and the shaft of the arrow is placed on an arrow rest which is attached in the bow window. The back of the arrow is attached to the bowstring with the 'nock' (a small plastic component which is typified by a 'v' groove for this purpose). This is called nocking the arrow. As said above, typical arrows with three vanes should be oriented such that a single vane, the "cock feather" is pointing away from the bow.

The bowstring and arrow are held with three fingers. When using a sight, the index finger is placed above the arrow and the next two fingers below. The string is usually placed in either the first or second joint of the fingers.

Modern competitive archery
Competitive archery involves shooting arrows at a target for accuracy from a set distance or distances. This is the most popular form of archery worldwide and is called target archery. A form particularly popular in Europe and America is field archery, shot at targets generally set at various distances in a wooded setting. There are also several other lesser-known and historical forms, as well as archery novelty games. Note the tournament rules vary from organization to organization. FITA rules are often considered normative, but large non-FITA-affiliated archery organizations do exist with different rules.

WATER POLO

William Wilson, Scottish aquatics pioneer and originator of the first rules of water polo.

Water polo is a team water sport. It is the oldest continuous Olympic team sport. The playing team consists of six field players and one goalkeeper with a maximum of six substitutes. The winner of the game is the team that scores more goals. Gameplay involves swimming, players passing the ball while being defended by opponents, and scoring by throwing into a net defended by a goalie. Water polo, therefore, has strong similarities to the land-based game of team handball. The frequency of 'man-up' (or 'power play') situations also draws comparisons with ice hockey.
The game clock is stopped when the ball is not 'in play' (between a foul being committed and the free throw being taken, and between a goal being scored and the restart). As a result, the average quarter lasts around 12 minutes 'real time'. A team may not have possession of the ball for longer than 30 seconds without shooting for the goal unless an opponent commits an ejection foul. After 30 seconds, possession passes to the other team. However, if a team shoots the ball within the allotted time, and regains control of the ball, the shot clock is reset to 30 seconds. Each team may call 2 one-minute timeouts in the four periods of regulation play, and one timeout if the game goes into overtime. During game play, only the team in possession of the ball may call a timeout.
The history of water polo as a team sport began as a demonstration of strength and swimming skill in late 19th century England and Scotland, where water sports and racing exhibitions were a feature of county fairs and festivals. Men's water polo was the among the first team sports introduced at the modern Olympic games in 1900.

Comanche in love

Comanche is a very fat and testy cat, but one day he met the love of his life. As every morning he went out home, he walked and walked around the block, walked down walls, walked trough roofs, walked past a big adverstiment, walked across the streets, when he was over the bridge, thought for a second, all his way and thought:"i can do longer". So he continue walking along the street, he climbed a wall, he walked up some stones when surprisely a beautiful female cat appeared. Comanche follow her, then they got into a cave of a italian restaurant and under the black night and beautiful shine moon watching the stars... Comanche turned to smily cay once again.

THE HORSES

The horse is one of the most beautiful animals of the planet, is very interesting to say that the man began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed widespread by 3000 BC. This kind of animal can live about 25 to 30 years. The English-speaking world measures the height of horses in hands, abbreviated "h" or "hh", for "hands high", a horse described as "15.2 h", is 15 hands, 2 inches (62 in/160 cm) in height. The size of horses varies by breed, but can also be influenced by nutrition. Pregnancy lasts for approximately 335–340 days,
Horses four years old are considered mature, although the skeleton normally continues to develop until the age of six.

Exist another kind of this animals of this family for example the monkey, the zebra, the kiang and one hibrid is the mula. We have to remember that the horse was utilised as transporting way, for sports and like a domestical animal. I love this animal because is elegant, strong and nice.
