US, Cuba hold 2nd round of talks on reopening embassies, but quick breakthrough seems unlikely

The U.S. and Cuba held a second round of negotiations Friday on restoring diplomatic relations after a half-century interruption, although an immediate breakthrough appeared unlikely.
The Obama administration wants embassies reopened by April's summit of North and South American leaders, which presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro are expected to attend. But the Cubans hope first to be removed from a U.S. terrorism list, which prevents them from banking in the U.S. and doing other basic business they would need for an embassy here.
Washington is reviewing that designation but hasn't made a decision yet.

                      "It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today."

Reflection: I think that this teaches us that no matter if you do wrong or right you are still going to impact the world. It may be in a good way or bad way. It depends on you if you do good or bad. For example, if you litter to a tree you know that futurely that tree may be contaminated and not be able to go thru the cycle correctly and this will impact our world. There are many actions that have an effect in our world. Whether you do good or bad it will still go through history and teach everything that has been done thru our history. If you do good actions, you will be seen as a good person that did good and your history will be clean. If you do bad you will be seen as a shameful person who did bad and is not honorable or respectable. It depends on you whether you want to do good or bad. The world will keep track of the good or bad things that have been done and show it to future generations to teach what is good and bad.

The Beginning Of Basketball


1.James Naismith invented basketball

2. He began to develop the sport at the International YMCA Training School (now Springfield College) in Springfield Massachusetts.

3.The year he invented it was in the late 1981

4.The way he invented the sport was analyzing many things, such as the most popular games of those times (rugby, lacrosse, soccer, football, hockey, and baseball; Naismith noticed that the hazards of a small fast ball and concluded that the big soft soccer ball was safest.

5.He invented basketball because the athletes needed a sport to play indoors for the winter because it was too cold to play baseball or football outside.

6.What were the circumstances at the beginning? At the beginning of the creation of the game it had 13 basic rules.

7.What was it like at the start? In contrast to modern basketball, the players played 9 versus 9, handled a soccer ball, not a basketball, and instead of shooting two hoops, the goals were a pair of peach baskets.

8. The type of shoots that we done were into a basket of peaches and to make a score you had to introduce the ball into the basket. The concept of dribbling was not introduced until later.

9.The way basketball is different today than when it started was that the original rules do not include what is known today as dribble.


10.
This is to believed to be the first basketball team to learn the sport in the United States.
11.
Dr. James Naismith
