…that the sites’ creator, Jeremy Irish, tried to trademark the word “geocaching”? He did so when the word had already been used for months as the common term for the hobby, and failed.

…that Groundspeak Inc, then Grounded Inc, wanted to file a lawsuit against Navicache.com for the use of the word “geocaching”? This too failed, and Navicache responded by increasing their site activities and making it a full-fledges site for geocache listings.

…that banner ads, merchandise sales and paid memberships were used to fund geocaching.com? This despite many attempts to keep geocaching non-commercial.

…that geocaching.com used to censor the names of other geocaching websites? People were not allowed to utter them or link to them on geocaching.com.

…that the site tried to merge the much older hobby of letterboxing with geocaching, which was resisted by many members.

Write a summary for the story personal best written by John frizzle

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

1976. Chris Cahill and Torry Skinner are US national caliber track and field athletes, Chris in the 100 meter hurdles, and Torry in the pentathlon. Chris has the natural ability to be great but she doesn't possess the confidence or drive, while Torry, who has less natural ability, psychologically knows what it takes to be great, leading to Torry making the Olympic team finishing second in her event, while Chris has a disastrous Olympic trial. Torry can see the potential in Chris, and tries to convince her coach at Cal Poly, Terry Tingloff, to coach Chris, Terry who will only allow Chris to train with the team without his guidance in he only having seen her disastrous performance at the trials. Although not ideal in that no scholarship money is involved, Chris accepts the offer against the wishes of her father, who currently coaches her. In their time together, Chris and Torry embark on a relationship, each seeing in the other what each doesn't possess, their attraction thus sexual as well as emotional. Eventually, Terry does see in Chris what Torry saw from the start, he who not only decides to train her, but convinces her that the event in which she should compete is the pentathlon in possessing the strength, speed and flexibility to be that all around athlete. Terry in particular cannot see a friendship let alone a sexual relationship exist between the two women who are now in competition, especially in the lead up to the 1980 Olympic trials. Through the ups and downs of both their friendship and sexual relationship, Chris and Torry may demonstrate what it means to be one's own personal best, especially in an environment where winning seems to be the goal at all cost.

Can kindness be taught ? How

larisa86 [58]

I feel like kindness can be taught because if someone is mean and you set a good example and they want to be just like you they will start be kind. You can also teach kindness in a classroom by making everyone be nice to have a happy classroom and people will be asking for help and asking to borrow something. I also feel like it matter on the age.

Answer:

Explanation:

It seems as though you need a little help

With writing a creative sonnet poem

But you have a lot to learn you wee kelp

So I will tell you with this Jeroboam.

You cannot tell us to write for you, dear,

Because this isn't a group project, love,

I must confirm your most dreadful fear, babe:

You have to write it, a problem thereof.

Fear not! I may still help under Shakespeare

A sonnet has three quatrains- in a rhyme,

A couplet for the last two lines sincere,

Iambic too- as easy as a crime!

This isn't a good use of my spare time,

So I must say goodbye- until next time!
