History of Basketball

Dr. James Naismith is known world-wide as the inventor of basketball. The concept of basketball was born out of his early school days when he played a simple game known as duck-on-a-rock outside his schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a "duck" off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. Naismith served at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA in 1891, and this is where the sport of basketball was born. Naismith was faced with the challenge of finding a sport that was suitable for play inside during the winter for the students. Naismith wanted to create a game of skill that could be played indoors in a relatively small space. The very first game of basketball was played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets used as goals. After that, he devised a set of rules for that early game and basketball was created.

Sick Without Physics
Written and Composed By: Camila Alunan 

Oh, God, thank you, for Physics is around
And the industry is made easy;
For the world bounds
Like light defies heavy.

the laws of Scientists, of brilliant inventions and discoveries
Like technologies fussioned and toils were fissioned;
Imagine what Earth now without these.
Through the years the world revolved slowly and chores hardly.

Physics: the interrelationship between matter and energy;
I started to imagine how man could live without this: have mercy!
Mechanics, electricity and magnetism, heat and thermodynamics.
No machine, nor gadgets and appliances? Raw foods and how bad, negative Celsius!

God made these happen: favorable life and one world around.
He made us connected and feel contented
Life without Science and Physics....
I should have been longly ... sicked.
