The negative media publicity, the departure from the Directorate of Andrew V.R. Smith (replaced by Stuart Millson), and the end of the Soviet Union, meant that activities diminished, and lack of adequate finance reduced any subsequent campaigning to occasional policy papers, the glossy newsletter, press releases, and letters to editors, such as that by WGI Vice-President, Gregory Lauder-Frost, which appeared in The Scotsman in October 1994, opposing constitutional devolution. Another letter by Lauder-Frost, writing again as Vice-Presi ...

The distance from the basket to the three point line varies at different levels of play. For college basketball, the NCAA set the line at 19 feet, 9 inches in 1987. This distance is also used in US high schools, and it is the distance most commonly used on public courts. It is easily identifiable without measurement, as it coincides exactly with the top of the key. In international play (including Olympics), FIBA introduced the three- ...

Although the three-pointer was first introduced by the short-lived American Basketball League in 1961, it became popularized by the ABA after its introduction in 1968. During the 1970s, the ABA would use the three-pointer, along with the dunk, as a marketing tool to compete against the NBA. In the 1979-1980 season, the NBA officially adopted the three-pointer. On October 12, 1979, Celtics guard Chris Ford hit the NBA's first three pointer. During two seasons from 1994-1996, the NBA attempted to address decreased scoring (due to toughe ...

The two teammates of the scorer who last touched the puck before him, provided that no opponent touched it in between, are each credited with an assist. Assists and goals count equally to comprise a player's statistical scoring total. When a player scores three goals in a game it is known as a hat trick.

Often the term is used as a corporate strategy, in which a company sells off a business unit in order to focus their resources on a market it judges to be more profitable, or promising. Sometimes, such an action can be a spin-off. Other times divestment can occur when required by the Federal Trade Commission before a merger is approved. A company can divest assets to wholly owned subsidiaries. The largest, and likely most-famous, corporate divestiture in history was the 1984 US Department of Justice-mandated break ...

Many coaches are known for disliking, even shirking, the three-pointer. Some of these coaches are known for their defensive "toughness" and affinity for grinding out low scoring games. Their reasoning in avoiding the three-pointer usually stems from its typically lower shooting percentage, the likelihood of a quick defensive rebound and fast break, and the missed opportunity of drawing shooting fouls (fouls on three-point shot attempts do occur but are very rare). Most notable from these line of coaches is perhaps Larry Brown. It should be n ...

In general, batters try to get hits. They may also draw a walk if they do not receive a pitch they can hit properly. In cases when there is a runner on third and less than two outs, they can attempt to hit a sacrifice fly to drive the runner in. When there are less than two outs and runners on base, they can try to sacrifice bunt. They might even be hit by a pitch, reach on an error or—if first is empty or there are two outs—on a dropped third strike. The opposition attempts to get the batter out. The pitcher's main role in this is to throw the ball in such a way that he either strikes out or cannot hit it cl ...

The primary goals for IAX were to minimize bandwidth used in media transmissions, with particular attention drawn to control and individual voice calls, and to provide native support for NAT (Network Address Translation) transparency. The basic structure of IAX is that it multiplexes signalling and multiple media streams over a single UDP (user datagram protocol) stream between two computers. IAX is a binary protocol, designed to reduce overhead especially in regards to voice streams. Bandwidth efficiency in some places is sacrificed in order for bandwidt ...
