Human position

Descending from the heretical designed ship, the Prodigal Son, along with the Inquisitor Valg was a mass of machinery. Each ponderous step was slow and methodical; but of such a stride that it easily matched pace with the man to its fore. With every step gears spun up, latched and released with a whirl of motion. Gas vented and billowed out the form of a rust coloured robe, the distinctive embroidered crenellations of a cog revealed what Order the construct belonged to; but it was the…

that, “no one knows his place in society, his class position or social status; nor does he know his fortune in the distribution of natural assets and abilities, his intelligence and strength, and the like.” This veil can help the rational man make fair decisions based on Rawls’ two principles of justice: maximize liberty and minimize inequalities. However, the two principles cannot be violated for the sake of the other. In his “original position”, Rawls’ states that members of the society have…

It was the game of the season the game we had all been working hard to play and win, we had made it to the finals in regionals, win one more game and we are going to state. I put on my uniform and headed to the softball fields, nervous but ready to play. It was a home game, home games were always the best because everyone came to watch. We started warming up for the game, our first thing we did was throw the ball back and forth for a while, after that we got a little bit of hitting practice.…

The sun was beating down on my back, sweat dripping down my already terrified face. I was about to make one of the most important phone calls of my life to date. This one, single phone call was the make or break point of my future college softball career. It was the call to one of my dream schools. The call where I would accept my offer from Campbell University to play Division I softball. For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of playing college softball. The dream was due to my…

Sometimes people do not notice the psychological and physical aspects that impact our everyday lives, from simple tasks like hitting a ball to hiking alone in the Rocky Mountains. In the experiment “See the Ball, Hit the Ball” conducted by Witt and Proffitt, the researchers experimented with people who enjoyed playing softball and measured their perception of the ball's size. In the process, they provided another example that applies to the action-specific theory of perception. The study’s…

Mcdonald's tragedy Batter up. It was the bottom of the first inning and i was up, mry brother jabin was pitching. First pitch a little outside but i still swing and i connect. I run to first as my brothers race to the ball. I step on first and I hear and feel the rock crack under my foot. A chill goes through my body as i'm walking back to home plate followed by a pain squeeze in my foot. I look down to see my foot in a blanket of blood. I rush inside to find my mom and behind me follows the…

the runner breaks with the pitch. There are many more situations besides steal attempts in which the shortstop must make his voice heard. If there are runners in scoring position, he must remind his outfielders how many…

I started playing baseball when I was 7 years old and at that time I was actually playing T-Ball. For awhile I played baseball for a place called Twin City. While I was at Twin City I had mostly played the second base position. Twin City was an alright organization because they didn't have players with the best attitudes. Those players with not so good attitudes affected our teams ability to win. Their attitudes caused us to lose a lot of our games and we didn't play as a team as much. This was…

I would go back to the day where i could have won the championship for my team. It was a super hot day, about 95 degrees out and no wind, we had a big game that day and every one was nervous. It was the championship game versus one of the best teams in the country, the Florida Gators. The smallest kid on there team was bigger than me, these guys were giants. We keep up with them being behind only one run through out the whole game, it was the last inning with two players on base and I'm up to…
