Basque Pelota
Basque pelota (Basque: '' pilota'', Spanish: '' pelota vasca'', French: '' pelote basque'') is the name for a variety of court sports played with a ball using one's hand, a racket, a wooden bat or a basket, against a wall (''frontis or fronton'') or, more traditionally, with two teams face to face separated by a line on the ground or a net. The roots of this class of games can be traced to the Greek and other ancient cultures. The term '' pelota'' probably comes from the Vulgar Latin term ''pilotta'' (ball game). It is a diminutive form of the word '' pila'' which may relate to a hard linen or leather ball filled with '' pilus'' (fur or hair) or to the Latin words for strike or spade and is related to the English word '' pellet''. Today, Basque pelota is played in several countries. In Europe, this sport is concentrated in Spain and France, especially in the Basque Country. The sport is also played in Latin American countries such as Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Cuba. O ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
People From Costera
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Valencian Trinquet
Valencian trinquet, or simply trinquet (), is the court used in the Valencian Community for two different modalities of Valencian pilota: the Escala i corda and the Raspall. Court Trinquets are closed rooms of variable size: from 8.5–11 m wide and 45–60 m long. The short walls are called "frontons", and the long are the "muralles", 4–6 m high. The ball may bounce at them as many times as desired. On the ''frontons'' there are usually seats for the spectators, these are called the "galleries". And sometimes on the ''muralles'', too. There are also stairs (''escales'' in Valencian) built on one of the ''muralles''. Spectators may seat on them as well at their own risk. The ball is played many times on them since the stairs (and bodies of the people) may cause fast and unexpected bounces. The court is divided in two midfields, the "dau" and the "rest". On the corner of the "dau" ''frontó'' and the stairs there is a square draw on the ground, it's the dau (''dice'' in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
