Carl Friedrich Gauss

Carl Friedrich Gauss was a German mathematician and scientist who contributed significantly to many fields, including number theory, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, magnetism, astronomy and optics. Sometimes known as "the prince of mathematicians", Gauss introduced concepts which have had a profound impact in many areas and his work is ranked alongside that of Newton and Archimedes. Gauss was a child prodigy, and he made his first ground-breaking mathematical discoveries while still a teenager. He completed Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, his magnum opus, at the age of 24. This work was fundamental in consolidating number theory as a discipline, and it has shaped the direction of modern research up to the present day.

baseball

Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal of baseball is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four markers called bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square, or diamond. Players on one team take turns hitting while the other team tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and hope to score on a teammate's hit. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team gets three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning; nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.

UEFA Euro 2008...

The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship was the 13th UEFA European Football Championship , a quadrennial football tournament contested by European nations. The tournament, which was hosted by Austria and Switzerland , began on 7 June 2008, and concluded with the final at Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna on 29 June 2008. The second jointly-hosted edition in the competition's history, the tournament was eventually won by Spain, defeating Germany 1–0 in the final; becoming only the second nation to win all their group stage fixtures and win the European Championship itself—a milestone also achieved by France in 1984. Spain were also the first team since Germany in 1996 to win the tournament undefeated. Greece were the defending champions going into the tournament, having won UEFA Euro 2004, the previous edition of the competition. However, they recorded amongst the worst finishes in Euro 2008, collecting the least amount of prize money and gaining no points in their only three group fixtures. Throughout 31 matches, the participating nations totalled 77 goals, the same as the previous tournament. Austria and Switzerland automatically qualified as hosts; the remaining 14 teams were determined through qualifying match, which began in August 2006. As European champions, Spain earned the right to compete for the 2009 FIFA World Confederation Cup in South Africa.

FIFA World Cup......

The FIFA World Cup is an international asoociation football competition contested by the men's national team of the members of FIFA, the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930 except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War 2.

The tournament consists of two parts, the qualification phase and the final phase. The qualification phase, which currently take place over the three years preceding the Finals, is used to determine which teams qualify for the Finals. The current format of the Finals involves 32 teams competing for the title, at venues within the host nation over a period of about a month. The World Cup Finals is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 tournament's final.

In the 18 tournaments held, seven nations have won the title. Brazil, the only team to have played in every tournament, have won it a record five times. The current World Champions, Italy, follow with four titles, while Germany hold three. The other former champions are Uruguay and Argentina with two titles each, and England and France with one title each.

The most recent World Cup finals were held in Germany in 2006, where Italy was crowned champion after beating France in the final. The next World Cup finals will be held in South Africa, from June 11, 2010 to July 11, 2010, and the 2014 Final will be held in Brazil.

Gangsterism.....

A gangster is a criminal who is a member of a persistent violent crime organization, such as a gang. As an adjective it can be used as an unflattering depiction of the violent and devious methods commonly used by mobsters, and the derived form gangsterism implies such methods as practice or habit. The term gangster is most commonly used in reference to members of the criminal organizations associated with American prohibition and the American offshoot of the Italian Cosa Nostra, the Mafia, such as the Chicago Outfit and the Five Families, and individuals such as Al Capone.

Gangsters are typically organized criminals who are actively engaged in crime as a group activity or enterprise for power, pleasure, or profit. The visibility of activities of gangsters can range from the low-level such as drug-trafficking, which are prone to be "under the radar", to the in-your-face spectacular, such as the UK's multi-million Brinks Mat robbery. Gangsters often run their operations as businesses insofar as they offer a "product" or "service", albeit an illegal one, or, as is sometimes the case, a legitimate business operating as a front for criminal activity.
