Football at the 2016 Summer Olympics

Olympic sports are sports contested in the Summer and Winter Olympic Games . The 2016 Summer Olympics included 28 sports, with five additional sports due to be added to the 2020 Summer Olympics. The 2014 Winter Olympics included seven sports. The number and kinds of events may change slightly from one Olympiad to another.

Each Olympic sport is represented by an international governing body, namely an International Federation (IF). The International Olympic Committee (IOC) establishes a hierarchy of sports, disciplines, and events. According to this hierarchy, the Olympic sports can be subdivided into multiple disciplines, which are often assumed to be distinct sports.

Examples include swimming and water polo (disciplines of aquatics, represented by the International Swimming Federation ), or figure skating and speed skating(disciplines of skating, represented by the International Skating Union ). In their turn, disciplines can be subdivided into events, for which medals are actually awarded.

A sport or discipline is included in the Olympic program if the IOC determines it is widely practiced around the world, that is, the number of countries that compete in a given sport is the indicator of the sport’s prevalence. The IOC’s requirements reflect participation in the Olympic Games as well—more stringent toward men (as they are represented in higher numbers) and summer sports (as more nations compete in the Summer Olympics).

Previous Olympic Games included sports which are no longer present on the current program, like polo and tug of war. These sports, known as “discontinued sports”, were later removed either because of lack of interest or absence of an appropriate governing body.

Archery and tennis are examples of sports that were competed at the early Games and were later dropped by the IOC, but managed to return to the Olympic program (in 1972 and 1988, respectively). Demonstration sports have often been included in the Olympic Games, usually to promote a local sport from the host country or to gauge interest and support for the sport. Some such sports, like baseball and curling , were added to the official Olympic program (in 1992 and 1998 , respectively). Baseball, however, was discontinued after the 2008 Summer Olympics .

Lodge Brothers funeral directors Chertsey were recently cooling down at Cherstsey’s Black Cherry Fair.

The annual ‘Black Cherry Fair’ has been taking place in the market town of Chertsey for many hundreds of years, and this year, local business Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors had a stall. But unlike most others on the Abbeyfields site, they weren’t selling anything!

District Manager, Richard Leachman, and one of his team of Funeral Arrangers, Tom Hoyles, gave away nearly 300 bottles of water to passers-by on what was another warm summer’s day.

Conversations did follow, many of them surrounding the topic of personal funeral planning.

Lodge Brothers has its own catalogue of bespoke funeral plans – find out more about Lodge Brothers services and memorials by clicking on Funeral Directors Cobham and Funeral Directors Ealing

Starting a Marquee Hire business?

DIY Marquees are so passionate about the Marquees they sell and the additional services they offer. With so with the many years’ experience in event planning they offer some professional sound advice on all aspects of purchasing a marquee and starting your own marquee company.

the diy party tent range

When wanting to start my own marquee hire business they were by far the most experienced company we dealt with and after we decided to go with their large product range and brilliant after sales service I am pleased to say we now have a successful marquee hire business. If it wasn’t for their assistance from start to finish we would not have exceeded.

Many people assume it’s easy to start a marquee company with the misconception it’s a simple to go and choose the marquees they want to use for hiring out. It’s not as simple as that. There are hundreds of different options and things to think about for example: weather, durability, marquee designs, what size marquee do I need? Etc. etc.

DIY Marquees have a fantastic blog whereby they share ideas and marquee planning advice.

I found this informative article on Marquee Heating, these are all things to think about and DIY Marquee will make sure they are covered.

During Spring and summer months heating is generally only required to take the chill off later in the evening. During autumn and especially winter you should heat the marquee for a reasonable time before guests arrive to ensure a successful event.

Do:

Use a heater with a powerful fan

Test the heating several days before the event (at the same time of day) to make sure it works and is sufficient for the space

In the winter have the heating on for at least an hour before people arrive. On arrival guests should walk in to a wall of warmth, if they walk in to a cold marquee they will not warm up for the whole function

If possible use several smaller heaters rather than one large one to create a consistent temperature in your marquee

Aim one heater towards the entrance, think of a high street shop – they have a heater above the door to ensure the temperature inside stays at a constant level

Don’t:

Use a halogen heater, cabinet heater or any other kind of infra-red heater without a fan. They are not powerful enough for larger marquees

Have anything close to or touching a heater (sounds obvious but still worth mentioning)

DIY Marquees not only sell marquees they also provide lighting, heating and flooring options.

Rent a Friend is Safe & Convenient

hether it’s a date, movie night, function, holiday or a walk through the city our companions will make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Dukes of Daisy is a companion rent a friend service which is both safe and affordable option to finding an online date. We pride ourselves in offering the best escorts available throughout the country and a service that is invaluable to our clients.

This is what some of our clients had to say about the recent dealings with Dukes of Daisy.

“I was married for 15 years and have now been divorced for 2 years, it’s been a very long and stressful process to deal with, mean while having to attend many corporate events through work. I’ve always attended these events with my husband and the thought of going alone made me very uncomfortable.

A friend of mine recommended hiring an escort as a few of her colleges had done so in the past. At first I laughed, I wasn’t too sure about hiring a stranger to accompany me to corporate events, after some gentle persuasion and some positive feedback from other friends who had previously used this service I agreed to check it out.  The site was very easy to use and there was a large variety of escorts to choose from, all of which had photos, price ranges and short biography’s which helped me to choose the right person to accompany me.

I requested a gentleman that seemed well suited to me the booking was made entirely through the agency all I had to do was pick a guy and time and place to meet. I was extremely nervous on the day of, as this was a whole new experience for me, On arrival my date made me feel at ease and was a true gentlemen we actually got on very well, I expected there to be allot of awkwardness as we had never met before but he was very attentive at all times, even my colleagues loved him!

The team at Dukes kept in touch with me and were very reassuring which helped keep my mind at ease as it was my first time using their services.  I am now a regular client of Dukes and am no longer nervous when events come up. I’ve met some really interesting people, and am looking for my next event!” Susan

“I was very nervous when first joining the site as I had heard many mixed reviews and was unsure if this was the right path for me.  The sign up procedure was very straight forward, the staff were very informative and friendly which helped me feel at ease with the whole process.

Within my first few weeks of becoming an escort I received very little interest and was starting to wonder if this site was a scam. Once receiving reassurance and ways to update and better my profile from a staff team member, I managed to secure my first booking! The date went amazingly well, from that I gained my first review which lead to many more bookings.

I’ve met some amazing people, attended events all over London and experienced so many new things. I was made to feel very comfortable on all my bookings by both the client and the staff at Dukes, we always met in public places and was no awkwardness as the site is for companionship purposes only.  I received great feedback from my clients and was always kept up to date through regular contact with the Dukes team. Not to mention the money is great!

After being so sceptical at first I am now extremely pleased with the service, I now have a 12 month subscription and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of becoming an escort.” Jason

If you are wanting to earn some great money whilst having fun Dukes of Daisy is the way to go, whether you become Female Escort or a Male Escort there are clients for everyone!
