Laozi, formerly latinized as Laocius, was a legendary Chinese philosopher considered to be the author of the Tao Te Ching, one of the foundational texts of Taoism. Modern scholarship generally regards his biographical details as later inventions and his opus a collaboration of various writers, with the name Laozi, literally meaning 'Old Master', likely intended to portray an archaic anonymity that could converse with Confucianism.

A theodicy, meaning 'vindication of God', is an argument in the philosophy of religion that attempts to resolve the problem of evil, which arises when all power (omnipotence) and all goodness (omnibenevolence) are attributed to God simultaneously. Unlike a defense, which tries only to demonstrate that God and evil can logically coexist, a theodicy additionally provides a framework in which God and evil's existence are considered plausible. The German philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Leibniz coined the term theodicy in his book Théodicée (1710)...

On the Soul is a major treatise written by Aristotle c. 350 BC classifying organisms' souls by their operations. In it, he alleges plants have the capacity for nourishment and reproduction, the minimum that must be possessed by any kind of living organism. Lower animals have, in addition, the powers of sense-perception and self-motion (action). Humans have all these as well as intellect.

James Naismith was teaching physical education at the Young Men's Christian Association Training College in Springfield, Massachusetts, and felt discouraged because calisthenics and gymnastics didn't engage his students. What was needed was an indoor wintertime game that combined recreation and competition. One evening he worked out the fundamentals of a game that would quickly catch on. Two peach half-bushel baskets gave the name to the brand new sport in late 1891. Basketball: Its Origin and Development was written by the inventor himself, who was inspired purely by the joy of play. Naismith, born in northern Ontario in 1861, gave up the ministry to preach clean living through sport. He describes Duck on the Rock, a game from his Canadian childhood, the creative reasoning behind his basket game, the eventual refinement of rules and development of equipment, the spread of amateur and professional teams throughout the world, and the growth of women's basketball (at first banned to male spectators because the players wore bloomers). (Google Books)Basketball has been big part of my life, and plays a big part in Canadian culture, so it was about time that I delved into the history of the game: presented by the inventor of the game; one of the greatest Canadians in history.You can read a version of the book here: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/590be125ff7c502a07752a5b/t/5bdb9c66562fa73fc1648fc4/1541119097397/Naismith,+James,+Basket+Ball+Its+Origin+and+Development.pdfBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pallettownPaypal donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=CQ68PXMWB7G8Y&no_recurring=0¤cy_code=CADBuy my collection of short stories on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.ca/Pallettown-Short-Stories-collection-narrator-ebook/dp/B0FSTP6JXM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3OG1R9CGYXKFB&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6xZ293cESaFYNBCXIHBOmg.V8UlxWJ15a1IhzvADDBS9M95CcIM0etwiMzUZG6kgQY&dib_tag=se&keywords=pallettown+short+stories&qid=1759093780&s=digital-text&sprefix=pallettown+short+stories%2Cdigital-text%2C62&sr=1-1
