With two weeks hard working, we finished our Assignment work. We are benefit a lot from those group works. But good lucky, we experienced a good time with it, and now this report is use to talk about our group assignment work.

The challenges and tribulations of being a group assignment:

Being a group is a litter bit hard at the beginning. We from different countries and have lots of problems work together. For example, we might have different time tables, it makes us hard to work together, always have one or two person can not attend the group talk. But we trying to keep communication with others in other ways, then we over come this problem. There are also some communication problems, because we are beginners of English speaker, takes a long time to make everyone understand the point we should be like and doing. In video works, some of us had being a litter shy at the beginning, but this good team are willing to help others, we encourage them be more confidence, and said a lot of words too make fun. From this team work, we find that encourage is really important in team work, which help a lot.

The process of creating the video:

In this assignment, we decide the time to video, then we group being together at the time we decide. We divide the works, someone being actor, someone being cameraman, and someone imaging the originality. We have a great time for work together and finish it soon. Then, we bring it back and do some later stages. It is really helpful, you can image if it should be make by someone alone, it will take a huge time to deal with, but we finish it very soon and doing well, we proud of this great work.

How does the video relate to our blog:

In this video, we talk about basketball, as our blog is talk about sport. We have a simple introduction of basketball plays and roles introduction. In this video, we played basketball and did some simple plays to make watchers realize about basketball. Anyway, it is a good time for us to practice our ISYS skills and doing things which we like.


In conclusion, we study a lot from this assignment group work. Work together is a good thing for us, not only for the assignments, but also good time for work with friends.

 Stacy Lewis fired four birdies

  San Francisco (AFP) - Stacy Lewis fired four birdies on the back nine to maintain a one-stroke lead over 17-year-old Lydia Ko on Saturday after three rounds of the LPGA Swinging Skirts Classic.
 
  Lewis and Ko, who have been paired together for every round this week at Lake Merced Golf Club, were neck and neck as they traded birdies at 12, 15 and 16 before Lewis's birdie at 17 moved her back into sole possession of the lead at 10-under.

  She said she wouldn't change a thing on Sunday.
"The game plan is the same. It's just trying to hit good shots and make as many putts as possible," world number three Lewis said. Ko had claimed the outright lead with back-to-back birdies at the fifth and sixth holes.She and Lewis both parred the next four before Ko bogeyed the 11th to fall back into a tie for the lead.Ko, ranked fourth in the world, rebounded with a long birdie putt at the 12th, but Lewis kept pace with her first birdie of the day.

  "It was fun to watch," Lewis said. "She got going there early making some birdies and I just felt like I needed to answer." Ko is seeking her first LPGA win as a professional, although she won her first title as a pro in Taiwan in December. She won four professional events as an amateur, including triumphs in the LPGA'S Canadian Open in 2012 and 2013.

A new chapter was written in Australia's sporting history after the Socceroos qualified for the World Cup finals following their 4-2 win over Uruguay on penalties in 2006. This is the iconic image of John Aloisi celebrating after converting the winning penalty.
A controversial last-gasp penalty by Francesco Totti breaks Australian hearts as they are cruelly eliminated in a 1-0 loss to eventual champions Italy.
2010:Australia overcame the first-half dismissal of Harry Kewell to battle for a 1-1 draw against Ghana. Brett Holman scored Australia’s goal.
2014: The Socceroos celebrate after Josh Kennedy leaped high to score agaisnt Iraq and seal the Socceroos place in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Stars in Basketball

The 50 Greatest Players in National Basketball Association History (also referred to as NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team or NBA's Top 50) were chosen in 1996 to honor the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the National Basketball Association(NBA). These fifty players were selected through a vote by a panel of media members, former players and coaches, and current and former general managers. In addition, the top ten head coaches and top ten single-season teams in NBA history were selected by media members as part of the celebration. The fifty players had to have played at least a portion of their careers in the NBA and were selected irrespective of position played.
The list was announced by NBA commissioner David Stern on October 29, 1996, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City, the former site of the Commodore Hotel, where the original NBA charter was signed on June 6, 1946. The announcement marked the beginning of a season-long celebration of the league's anniversary.Forty-seven of the fifty players were later assembled inClevelandOhio, during the halftime ceremony of the 1997 All-Star Game. Three players were absent:Pete Maravich, who had died in 1988, at forty; Shaquille O'Neal, who was recovering from a knee injury; and Jerry West, who was scheduled to have surgery for an ear infection and could not fly. At the time of the announcement, eleven players were active. O'Neal was the last to be active in the NBA, retiring at the end of the 2010–11 season.
