Not in particular. He did sell books, but was never awarded for it because he was just like any other author.

How many serves do you get before you have to switch the server in vollyball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The serve is won either depending on tossing a coin or scoring a point. Unless it is beginning of start, the team must rotate before the next player can serve, typically the one last shifted in from the substitutes. The player in turn may serve 4 consecutive times if the opposing team doesn't score. Thereafter a new shift must be done with the next player in turn to serve. Any points scored after a missing shift are deleted and the opposite team gets the right to serve. The scoring doesn't depend on which side has hit the serve, each ball gives a point to one team.

There are two basic serve techniques - Underhand and Overhand Serve. This refers to whether the player strikes the ball from below, at waist level, or first tosses the ball in the air and then hits it above shoulder level. Underhand serve is considered very easy to receive and is rarely employed in high-level competitions.

In Volley 2000 the underhand serve is allowed even from the 3 m line.

Famous serve variations:

  • Sky Ball Serve: a specific type of underhand serve occasionally used in beach volleyball, where the ball is hit so high it comes down almost in a straight line. This serve was invented and employed almost exclusively by the Brazilian team in the early 1980s and is now considered outdated. In Brazil, this serve is called Jornada nas Estrelas (Star Trek).
  • Line and Cross-Court Serve: refers to whether the ball flies in a straight trajectory parallel to the side lines, or crosses through the court in an angle.
  • Top Spin: an overhand serve where the ball gains topspin through wrist snapping. This spin causes the ball to drop faster than it appears to a passer receiving it.
  • Floater: an overhand serve where the ball is hit with no spin so that its path becomes unpredictable. This type of serve can be administered while jumping or standing. This is akin to a knuckleball in baseball.
  • Jump Serve: an overhand serve where the ball is first tossed high in the air, then the player makes a timed approach and jumps to make contact with the ball. There is usually much topspin imparted on the ball. This is the most popular serve amongst college and professional teams.
  • Jump Float: This is a serve like the jump serve and the floater. The ball is tossed lower than a topspin jump serve, but contact is still made while in the air. This serve is becoming more popular amongst college and professional players because it has a certain unpredictability in its flight pattern.
  • Round-House Serve: the player stands with one shoulder facing the net, tosses the ball high and hits it with a fast circular movement of the arm. The ball is hit with the palm of the hand, creating a lot of topspin.
  • Hybrid Serve: An overhand serve delivered similarly to a top spin serve; however, it has more pace than a floater, but has a similar unpredictable path.

What problems did Theodore roosevelt have while she was a first lady?

Asked by Wiki User

Theodore Roosevelt had a number of issues while she was in office as the first lady. She was limited in her ability to use her influence, as her husband was the president, and she was not given the same authority as other first ladies. She also had to deal with the public's perception of her, as she was seen as a woman who was too involved in politics. Additionally, she had to manage her husband's schedule and took on many of the social duties of the White House. Here are some of the problems she faced:

  • Limited ability to use her influence
  • Public perception of her as too involved in politics
  • Managing her husband's schedule and taking on social duties

Theodore Roosevelt was a trailblazer in many ways, and while she faced some difficulties as the first lady, she was able to make significant contributions to the country and to the office of the president.

'the new deal was not a complete success' explain how far you agree with this statement?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The New Deal was a great success in that it improved the federal government's role in economic affairs. It was not at all radical, but rather made programs designed for relief, recovery, and reform. The New Deal made many plans to fix the banking system, provide jobs (Civilian Conservation Corps), and provided for welfare (Social Security). The New Deal didn't completely solve the problems that America faced after the depression, however, it did solve a few of the problems, for example unemployment was rapidly reduced during the 1930's, for around 3 million young men under the age of 25, the CCC provided their first experience of work. Some people from the government might not have agreed that the New deal was a success because they may have thought President Roosevelt was trying to do too much and not everything he said he would do succeeded. However, many of the items that were worst off, for example unemployment was targeted and many people were able to stay in jobs. Although, many of the jobs that were given were classed as ‘forced labour’. The aim of reform was to try and prevent the Wall Street Crash form 
ever happening again. Reform was to do with Roosevelt’s Second New 
Deal. By 1936 over 3.5 million people were employed in various divisions of 
the WPA like the CCC, the NYA and the PWA. These 
Alphabet agencies can be used to show that the New Deal was a success 
as they helped millions of unemployed people find work and also earn 
money to buy food. 
 The main aims of relief were to help the homeless as well as the 
unemployed people in America. Some alphabet agencies that were to do 
with relief were the CWA, the FERA, the HOLC and the CCC. 

The CWA provided work for the unemployed 
like the WPA; the CWA found the unemployed work and paid wages for 
doing it. People working for the CWA built schools, roads and airports 
this was also to do with recovery. I think that this was a successful 
agency because it found homeless and unemployed people work, then paid them, which would help the homeless and unemployed people 
to gain an income so they could buy houses and food. 
 The Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) gave money to help unemployed and homeless people. The Government gave 
each state one dollar for every three the state spent on the relief of 
poverty. This encouraged sates to help the homeless and unemployed 
people living in the state. I also think that this was a successful 
part of the New Deal as it encouraged states to help the homeless and 
unemployed people, this help would then cause the number of homeless 
and unemployed in each state to decrease, as the local governments 
would try to help the homeless and unemployed just to get money from 
the government. 

The Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC) used Federal money to pay of 
mortgages so that home owners did not lose their homes. This is also 
another agency that I think was a successful part of the New Deal 
because it stopped even more people from becoming homeless, because 
the government was willing to pay off the loans that people had to pay 
on their homes, therefore this could decrease the number of homeless 
and unemployed people in America In conclusion I think that the New Deal was neither a complete success 
nor a complete failure because it did help many Americans regain jobs 
and wages, but it also failed in some parts because some of the 
alphabet agencies that President Roosevelt created to combat the problem of the 
depression were declared unconstitutional which means they were ‘Not 
in keeping with the basic principles or laws set forth in the 
constitution of a state or country, especially the Constitution of the 
United States.’

Why is North Dakota's Theodore Roosevelt National named after Theodore Roosevelt Park?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The North Dakota badlands were an important place in Theodore Roosevelt's life. It was while in the badlands that Roosevelt saw the degradation of the environment through human causes (cattle ranching and summer/winter of 1886-1887), and learned to respect and connect with common people. "I have always said I would not have been President had it not been for my experience North Dakota," Roosevelt said.

Roosevelt went on to become President of the United States and the world's leading land conservationist of all time. During his presidency, he conserved over 230,000,000 acres of land, 150 national forests, 18 national monuments, 51 federal bird refuges, and 5 national parks.

Asked by Wiki User

They were both individuals of the homosapien species. They both ate food, drank liquids, and excreted wastes. Their bodies were composed of eukaryotic cells that required oxygen to function. Both possessed a Y chromosome and other similar genetic structure, giving them both hands, feet, eyes, brains, and spleens. They walked upright on two feet and accomplished most tasks with their hands, even using tools to help with these tasks. Oh yeah, and they both had dicks too.

Why is Theodore Roosevelt on Mt Rushmore?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Thomas Jefferson, one of the most prominent of the founding fathers, is credited as the author of the Declaration of Independence. He became the third president of the United States. His administration bought from France the land on which Mt. Rushmore stands. He sent the Lewis and Clarke expedition to explore that territory when it was still unsettled. He, more than the others, perhaps, belongs on that mountain.

What is the actual cost of maintaining a national park?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The cost depends on the size of the park. Larger parks with larger staff requirements, more infrastructure, and more visitors, have larger budgets than smaller parks. To establish a park, all that initially needs to happen is for the President to sign a bill establishing the park. The land would then have to be purchased from its holders, which is a major initial cost. Facilities and roads cost millions of dollars to create. The U.S. National Park Service budget for fiscal year 2008 is over $2.25 billion.
