HOW I SPEND MY TIME?

Hi friends, I want to share to you how I spend my time. First, I have to say that I divided my time in five parts: theoretical phase, practical phase, stay home, church’s activities and friends. When I’m in the theoretical phase, here in the Berusfakademie, I carry out a Schedule; usually it’s from 7 to 12 and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. For me, it represents the 40% of my time, because to study here is a little hard and I need to be completely quiet to do my activities. However, when I go to the practical phase, I have more time to share other activities with my family and friends, for that reason it represents the 20% of my time.
On weekends, I dedicate a little part of my time to do some activities in the church where I assist, the principal activity is to teach catechism to girls and guys between 12 and 15 years old; and another one is to be part of a foundation that is dedicated to help children who suffer cancer, and for that, we sell some catholic newspaper and cheese and chocolates to get money for the medicines, food and other things. It represents the 15% of my time.
To finish my redaction, I use too some time to stay home with my family. Here, I help in the house activities or I talk to with my mother, my sister, my father; we share with my nieces or my aunts or uncles watching some movies or doing some funny activities. It represents the 15% of my time. And the last one is the time to my friends, sometimes they invited me to go out or I invited them to do any kind of activities; it’s very nice to get out of the routine.

HOW SPEND MY FREE TIME

this a funny discusion bcause our carrer the last think have is free time, but some times have a time to rest and do a lot of sports, listen music, walk, see a friend, or anly sleep in house, I can clasificata my free time activities in:

GYMNASTIC

GYMNASTIC

Gymnastics is a sport that involves the realization of exercises requiring physical strength, agility, ability and coordination. The modern form of gymnastics typically involves exercises on uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise, and rings.

The gymnastics has its origin in the classic Greece, where it was an educational method of the body that included the hygiene, the exercises, the feeding and the sacrifice spirit. Quite later, in the first half of the XIX century, the German Fiedrich Ludwig Jahn included the gymnastics how a method of physical formation thinking that was fundamental in the integral development of the youths.

However, in that time in this sport were not competitions, but rather manifestations or gymnastic shows with big concentrations of gymnasts that made surprising exercises to please the public. But then, when they began to be compared, the gymnastics competitions arose.

TYPES OF GYMNASTICS

• Artistic or sport gymnastics

It is the oldest and it is based on turns, balances and jumps in the floor or in apparatuses. The official competition is made in the floor, rings, pony with arches, and bars.

• Rhythmic gymnastics

It is fundamental the rhythm, for that reason takes that name, and it is that all the exercises are made with music. It is made in the floor with maces, rope, hoop, ball or tape.

• Elastic bed

It implies a great corporal domain because movements are made in the space, without more support than the air. It is to make different jumps of considerable height and to make the most incredible twirls.

Comment:

I like the gymnastics a lot because I wanted to be a gymnast. When I was in the high school I integrated to the cheerleaders group where I learned some things about gymnastics.

One of my favorite gymnasts is Nadia Comaneci. Nadia was the best gymnast in her time.

AJEDREZ A STRATEGIC GAME

Chess is a recreational and competitive game played between two players.
Today, chess is one of the world's most popular games, played by millions of people worldwide in clubs, online, by correspondence, in tournaments and informally.


History

Chess originated in India ,where its early form in the 6th century was chaturanga , which translates as "four divisions of the military" – infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariots, represented respectively by pawn, knight, bishop, and rook.


The game reached Western Europe and Russia by at least three routes, the earliest being in the 9th century.

By the year 1000 it had spread throughout Europe. Introduced into the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors in the 10th century, it was described in a famous 13th century manuscript covering shatranj, backgammon , and dice named the Libro de los juegos .


The tradition of organized competitive chess started in the sixteenth century and has developed extensively. Chess today is a recognized sport of the International Olympic Committee. The first official World Chess Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, claimed his title in 1886; Viswanathan Anand is the current World Champion. Theoreticians have developed extensive chess strategies and tactics since the game's inception.
Birth of a sport (1850–1945)




The first modern chess tournament was held in London in 1851 and won, surprisingly, by German Adolf Anderssen , relatively unknown at the time.

Anderssen was hailed as the leading chess master and his brilliant, energetic — but from today's viewpoint strategically shallow — attacking style became typical for the time.


Place in culture

Pre-modern

In the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance , chess was a part of noble culture; it was used to teach war strategy and was dubbed the " King's Game ".

Modern

The Game of Chess is not merely an idle amusement; several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired and strengthened by it, so as to become habits ready on all occasions; for life is a kind of Chess, in which we have often points to gain, and competitors or adversaries to contend with, and in which there is a vast variety of good and ill events, that are, in some degree, the effect of prudence, or the want of it.
With these or similar hopes, chess is taught to children in schools around the world today and used in armies to train minds of cadets and officers. Many schools hold chess clubs and there are many scholastic tournaments specifically for children.

The game is played on a square chequered chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight square. At the start, each player (one controlling the white pieces, the other controlling the black pieces) controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove it from attack on the next move. White moves first.


The colors are chosen either by a friendly agreement, by a game of chance or by a tournament director.

Pieces are moved to either an unoccupied square, or one occupied by an opponent's piece, capturing it and removing it from play.

When a king is under immediate attack by the opponent's pieces, the king is said to be in check .
When in check, only moves that result in a position in which the king is not in check are permitted.



Each player must not make any move that would place their king in check.
The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent; this occurs when the opponent's king is in check, and there is no way to remove the king from attack.

Each chess piece has its own style of moving. If there is an opponent's piece at the destination square, then moving piece can capture the opponent's piece

BOSSABALL

BOSSABALL

What is Bossaball?
It’s a sport that appeared in Belgium but it’s practiced

in the beaches of countries such as Brazil, Netherlands,

Spain and Ecuador. It combines soccer; gymnastics, capoeira and volleyball, and its rulers are based in the same rulers of volleyball.
Bossaball is played on inflatable barriers divided by a net. Each side of the court has an integrated trampoline that permits players to bounce high enough to spike the ball.

How to play the game?

There are two teams; each one is formed by 3 to 5 players.

The first one, the attacker is positioned in the trampoline, the others around him on the inflatable.

The server throws or kicks the ball into the air and

attempts to hit the ball so it passes over the net on a
course such that it will land in the opposing team's court (the serve).

The opposing team must use a combination of no more than 8 contacts with the ball to return it to the opponent's side of the net. These contacts can be exercised using any body part (maximum 2 successive contacts with the head or feet, maximum one contact with the hands). During a rally the ball is tossed around while the attacker jumps on the trampoline in order to gain height. The attack begins when one of the rallying players aims the ball's trajectory towards a spot in the air where the attacker can hit it (spike or kick) and returns the ball over the net.
The team with possession of the ball that is trying to attack the ball as described is said to be on offense. The team on defense attempts to prevent the attacker from directing the ball into their court: players at the net jump and reach above the top (and across the plane) of the net in order to block the attacked ball. If the ball is hit around, above, or through the block, the defensive players arranged in the rest of the court attempt to control the ball with a dig (usually a fore-arm pass of a hard-driven ball, or a foot control). After a successful dig, the team transitions to offense.
The game continues in this manner, rallying back and forth, until the ball touches the court within the scoring zones.

Scoring
When the ball contacts the floor (the bottom of the trampoline or the inflatables) within the court boundaries, the team on the opposite side of the net is awarded a score. 3 Points are assigned for scoring on the trampoline. 1 point is assigned for scoring on the inflatable cushions, except for the bossa wall which is the ring around the trampoline. When the ball touches the bossa wall the rally continues.
The team that scored serves for the next point. If the team that scored served in the previous point, the same player serves again. If the team that scored did not serve the previous point, the players of the team rotate their position on the court in a clockwise manner. The game continues, with the first team to score 25 points (and be two points ahead) awarded the set. 3 sets are played in one match.

Parachuting

Parachuting is an activity involving a preplanned drop from a height using a deployable parachute.
One type of parachuting is skydiving, which is recreational parachuting, also called sport parachuting.
During the tandem jump the jumpmaster is responsible for the stable exit, maintaining a proper stable freefall position, and activating and controlling the parachute. With training and experience, the fear of the first few jumps is supplanted by the tact of controlling fear so that one may come to experience the satisfaction of mastering aerial skills and performing increasingly complicated maneuvers in the sky with friends.

Skills

Tandem and Camera Flyer Exit a Twin Otter
Parachuting has complex skills that can take thousands of jumps to master, but the basics are often fully understood and useful during the first few jumps. There are four basic areas of skill: basic safety, free fall maneuvers, parachute operation, and landing.

Parachute operation and landing

White sand circular target at a drop zone
The decision of when to deploy the parachute is a matter of safety. A parachute should be deployed sufficiently high to give the parachutist time to handle a malfunction, should one occur. 600 metres (1,970 ft) is the practical minimum for advanced skydivers. Skydivers monitor their altimeters during freefall to decide when to break off from the formation (if applicable) and when to open their parachutes. Many skydivers open higher to practice their parachute flying skills. During a "hop-and-pop", a jump in which the parachute is deployed immediately upon exiting the aircraft, it is not uncommon to be under canopy as high as 1200 to 1500 meters (4000 to 5000 ft).
Parachute flying involves two basic challenges. Firstly to avoid injury and secondly to land where planned, often on a designated target. Some experienced skydivers enjoy performing aerobatic maneuvers with parachutes, the most notable being the "Swoop". This is a thrilling, but dangerous maneuver entailing a steep, high speed landing approach, before leveling off a couple of feet above the ground to maintain a fast glide parallel to the surface. Swoops as far as 180 metres (590 ft) have been achieved.

Types

There are several different disciplines to embrace within parachuting. Each of these is enjoyed by both the recreational (weekend) and the competitive participants. There is even a small group of professionals who earn their living with parachuting. They win competitions having cash prizes or are employed or sponsored by skydiving related manufacturers.
Parachutists can participate both in competitive and in purely recreational skydiving events. World championships are held regularly in locations offering flat terrain and clear skies. An exception is Paraski, where winter weather and ski-hill terrain are required.
