An Evolutionary History of Tennis Racquets Part I: From Hands to Wood By most accounts, tennis was first played by French monks in the 11th or 12th century, and the first "racquets" were made of human flesh! No, this wasn't some medieval horror. It was more like handball, played first by hitting against a wall, then later over a crude net. While not gruesome, hitting a ball with one's hand proved a little too uncomfortable after a while, so players began using gloves. Some players then tried using

Comparaison entre les 5 premiers articles du Bill of Rights et de la DDHC Introduction : Le concept de droits de l'Homme est ancien, mais il a évolué pendant l’Histoire. Des droits naturels, intrinsèques à l'Homme, sont mentionnés dans des textes religieux (comme les Dix Commandements qui reconnaissent le droit à la vie, à l'honneur, etc.), littéraires (comme la pièce de théâtre Antigone de Sophocle, ou purement philosophiques (comme dans les textes de l’école de pensée du Stoïcisme).

The American constitution is made up of twenty-seven amendments, including the ten first ones called the Bill of Rights, but it still remains a single, identifiable document. On the contrary, the British constitution is a group of texts for instance the Magna Carta, the Habeas Corpus, the Bill of Rights, the Act of Settlement and more recently the European communities act.

have the right to be wrong” was a common expression of an old high school history teacher of mine. Some students hated this teacher because they thought he was lazy and a bit sadistic. He never lectured, nor did he ever seem to have a lesson plan prepared. He’d just sit back in his chair, sometimes putting his feet up on his desk, and then he’d ask probing questions and insult whoever attempted to answer them (usually for their lack of individual thought). For homework he’d assign us lots of dry reading

I. THE DÉCLARATION OF INDÉPENDANCE & U.S CONSTITUTION I • THE DÉCLARATION OF INDÉPENDANCE : Thomas Jefferson wrote most of the Declaration of Independence in the early summer of 1776. Its purpose was to announce that the 13 English colonies in North America had decided to become independent of England and start their own, new country.
