Meyers signed a one-year basketball contract with the Indiana Pacers.
Jockey Diane Crump raced in the Kentucky Derby and Janet Guthrie raced in
the Indianapolis 500. (Woodlum, Janet. 1992) This ramatic rise in
attention to women's sports has led to rapid development of talented female

... by the treacheries of the evil characters.
Gloucester is a character in the play who firmly believed that man’s fate has supernatural properties that are controlled or reflected by the heaven and stars:
These late eclipses in the sun and moon
Portend us to no good. Though the wisdom of
nature can reason it thus and thus, yet nature finds
itself scourged by the sequent events.

Homosexuality
... same sex couples some of the rights afforded heterosexual couples. The idea of coming out of the ‘closet’ has moved to the forefront of homosexual individuals when it used to be the exception. The Government of Canada has recently passed law making it illegal to discriminate against an individual’s sexual preference. With this in mind, the government would then require all facets of society, including religious communities, to welcome the marriages, adoptions, and families of homosexuals as though they were in no way different from heterosexual ones. It seems unreasonable that such an authority be involved in legislating the acceptance of an identifiable group that ...

... to measure time. The bells were rung seven times in the period of twenty-four hours. Near the end of tenth centry the first mechanical clock was invented by monk named Gerbert. The clock was working by the means of falling weights and by 1370 it was improved by Heinrich von Wyck in Paris to a well-designed clock as we know it today.
By inventing the mechanical clock there were no obstacles to keep clock working, and the time measuring slowly pushed its way into our everyday lives. At first, only the rich could afford to keep the clock, but little by little everyone started using it until it became a necessity. In today's world it is almost impossible to imagine li ...
