TOPIC STUDY - #0003 - BASKETBALL SPORT - URUGUAY - PART 1 OF 5


Basketball Sport - Uruguay PreviousNext )
 
Part 1 of 5: Years 2010 - 2015
PreviousNext )






Topic Description:

Basketball is a Sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter and 10 feet (3.048 m) high mounted to a backboard at each end.

A team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket during regular play. A field goal scores three points for the shooting team if the player shoots from behind the three-point line, and two points if shot from in front of the line. A team can also score via free throws, which are worth one point, after the other team was assessed with certain fouls. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime) is issued when the score is tied at the end of regulation. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it while walking or running or throwing it to a teammate. It is a violation to lift or drag one's pivot foot without dribbling the ball, to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then resume dribbling.

As well as many techniques for shooting, passing, dribbling and rebounding, basketball teams generally have player positions and offensive and defensive structures (player positioning). Traditionally, the tallest and strongest members of a team are called a center or power forward, while slightly shorter and more agile players are called small forward, and the shortest players or those who possess the best ball handling skills are called a point guard or shooting guard.

Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Olympic Games, or a a wider Sports, or in particular the XXX Olympic Game London 2012.

The 2012 Summer Olympics, formally the Games of the XXX Olympiad and commonly known as London 2012, was a major international multi-sport event celebrated in the tradition of the Olympic Games, as governed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It took place in London, United Kingdom and to a lesser extent across the country from 25th of July to 12th of August 2012. The first event, the group stage in women's football began on 25 July at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, followed by the Opening Ceremonies on 27th of July. More than 10,000 athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated.

Following a bid headed by Former Olympic Champion Sebastian Coe and Then-Mayor of London Ken Livingstone, London was selected as the host city on 6th of July of 2005 during the 117th IOC Session in Singapore, defeating bids from Moscow, New York City, Madrid and Paris. London was the first city to host the Modern Olympic Games three times, having previously done so in 1908 and in 1948.

The Games received widespread acclaim for their organisation, with the volunteers, the British military and public enthusiasm praised particularly highly. The opening ceremony, directed by Danny Boyle, received widespread acclaim throughout the world, particular praise from the British public and a minority of widely ranging criticisms from some social media sites. During the Games, Michael Phelps became the most decorated Olympic athlete of all time, winning his 22nd medal. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Brunei entered female athletes for the first time, so that every currently eligible country has sent a female competitor to at least one Olympic Games. Women's boxing was included for the first time, thus the Games became the first at which every sport had female competitors.

These were the last Olympic Games under the IOC presidency of Jacques Rogge, and the Medal Table was won by United States, followed by China, and Great Britain.

Then, looking more at the desing of the Issue, many Topics arise, mostly related with Sports, however it also appears Architecture and Tourism, as many Typical Views of London are shown in the Design besides the Sportsmen chosen to be honored with Stamps in this Release.

Starting with Sports, from the eight in which Uruguay participated on this Olympic Games, only four were chosen to be present, one on each stamp of the Series. The selected ones were: Football, Cycling, Laser Sailing, and Atlethics, and the Sportsmen chosen in each Sport were: Luis Suarez, actual Striker of the National Team of Uruguay and the Barcelona Futbol Club, that also played in great Football Teams as Liverpool from England and Ayax from Holland. Then Jorge Soto in Cycling, Alejandro Foglia in Laser Sailing, and finally Deborah Rodriguez in 400 m Hurdles Atlethics.

Although only the Four previously mentioned Sports appears in the stamps, in the complete desing of the release, Sixteen are shown, as on the margins of the Block, two stripes of Icons with Draft Representations of Sports are placed, and these include the following Sports: Basketball, Waterpolo, Fencing, Tennis, Rowing, Football, Wrestling, Boxing, Taekwondo, Canoeing, Gymnastics, Equestrian, Shooting, Cycling, and Field Hockey.

Then, as noted previously, many Typical Views of London are shown in the Design of the Stamps. These Views are:

The Arcelormittal Orbit,  a 114.5 metre tall Sculpture and Observation Tower in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London. It is Britain's largest piece of public art, and is intended to be a permanent lasting legacy of London's hosting of the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, assisting in the post-Olympics regeneration of the Stratford area.

Orbit was designed by Turner-Prize winning artist Sir Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond of Engineering Group Arup. Announced on 31 March 2010, it was expected to be completed by December 2011. The project came about after Mayor of London Boris Johnson and Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell decided in 2008 that the Olympic Park needed "something extra". Designers were asked for ideas for an "Olympic tower" at least 100 metres (330 ft) high, and Orbit was the unanimous choice from proposals considered by a nine-person advisory panel.

The project was expected to cost £19.1 million, with £16 million coming from Britain's richest man, the Steel Tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, Chairman of the ArcelorMittal Steel Company, and the balance of £3.1 million coming from the London Development Agency. The name "ArcelorMittal Orbit" combines the name of Mittal's Company, as chief sponsor, with "Orbit", the original working title for Kapoor and Balmond's design.

Then, the St Paul's Cathedral, an Anglican Cathedral, the Seat of the Bishop of London and the Mother Church of the Diocese of London. It sits on Ludgate Hill, the highest point of the City of London. Its dedication to Paul the Apostle dates back to the original church on this site, founded in AD 604. The present church, dating from the Late 17th century, was designed in the English Baroque Style by Sir Christopher Wren. Its construction, completed within Wren's lifetime, was part of a major rebuilding programme in the City after the Great Fire of London.

The cathedral is one of the most famous and most recognisable sights in London. Its dome, framed by the spires of Wren's City churches, dominated the skyline for 300 years. At 111 m. high, it was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1962. Its dome is among the highest in the world. St Paul's is the second largest church building in area in the United Kingdom after Liverpool Cathedral.

St Paul's Cathedral occupies a significant place in the national identity. It is the central subject of much promotional material, as well as images of the dome surrounded by the smoke and fire of the Blitz. Important services held at St Paul's have included the funerals of Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill; Jubilee celebrations for Queen Victoria; peace services marking the end of the First and Second World Wars; the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer, the launch of the Festival of Britain and the thanksgiving services for the Golden Jubilee, the 80th Birthday and the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.

In the third stamp you can see The Tower Bridge (built 1886 – 1894)  is a Combined Bascule and Suspension Bridge in London. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. Tower Bridge is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. It is the only one of the Trust's bridges not to connect the City of London directly to the Southwark Bank, the northern landfall being in Tower Hamlets.

The bridge consists of two Bridge Towers tied together at the upper level by two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal tension forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical components of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. The bridge's present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it was painted red, white and blue for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. Originally it was painted a mid greenish-blue colour.

The last stamp is dedicated to the Big Ben Clock, and the Parliament Palace, where Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the Clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, and often extended to refer to the Clock and the Clock Tower.

The Tower is officially known as the Elizabeth Tower, renamed as such to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II (prior to being renamed in 2012 it was known simply as "Clock Tower"). The tower holds the Second Largest Four-Faced Chiming Clock in the world (Minneapolis City Hall being the largest). The tower was completed in 1858 and had its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009, during which celebratory events took place. The tower has become one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom and is often in the establishing shot of films set in London.

Finally, Maps, and in particular Maps of the United Kingdom Topic could be added, as a small iconic one appears as the colour proof at the right-bottom corner of the Block.

Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Clearly Sports as the Main Topic, and also perhaps more precise Topics as Sports Clubs or Centenarian Sports Clubs, then, because it is the Sport in which this Club had made it biggest achievments, Basketball Topic arise, and in particular Basketball Teams or Centenarian Basketballs Clubs could be other Topics of this Issue too.

Then, looking more at the desing of the Issue, another Sport could be found, as it is Athletics, in particular Hammer Throw, one of the four throwing events in regular Track and Field Competitions, along with the Discus Throw, Shot Put and Javelin, as a picture of Darwin Piñeyrua, and his name, appears in the right corner of the Stamp. This Athlete, that was born professionally in the Club this release in honouring, has the actual National record of Uruguay in Hammer Throw, obtaining it in 1974, and still not beated up. In his career, he participated and was the Flag Bearer in the Olympic Games of Munich 1972, and won medals in the Panamerican games of Cali, winning the Bronze Medal there, and being also the best of South America, with his marks only under United States Athletes.  He also won two Gold Medals and one Bronze Medal in several South American Championship of Athletics.

The connection to Basketball is reinforced in the Release by the design of the FDC of this Issue, as it shows a Basketball Hoop and Backboard, covering most of the cancellation.

Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Clearly the Personality of José Gervasio Artigas is the Main Topic of this Release, as it will be of the whole Stamps of this Permanent series.

Then, the Personality of José Artigas also could be included in wider Topics as Uruguayan Personalities, Uruguayan Militars, and of course in one dedicated to National Heroes.

Finally, surrounding the Personality of  José Artigas some Topics arises. The first that cames to our mind is History, in particular the History of Southamerica, focus on the Emancipation of Southamerica, or the Liberty of Southamerica, or the Spanish American wars of independence, as José Gervasio Artigas was one of the most notorious figures of that Emancipation. Also the Ideologies associated with him, as Federalism and Liberalism, even a last one centred on his figure called Artiguism, are clearly represented in this stamp. Finally, by his great labour in the Uruguayan Army, Militaria is another topic directly associated with this issue.

Then, the desing of the Issue is very simple so only the Portrait type of Painting Art Topic is added, as all the stamps from the Permanent Series will have the portrait with a Close-up of the Face of José Gervasio Artigas performed by the Artist Miguel Angel Tuala, based in the work "Artigas en la Ciudadela", an Oil Painting of one of the most worldwide known Uruguayan Painters as it is Juan Manual Blanes.

The difference between the stamps of this Permanent Series will be only the Facial Value and the Colour in which the Portrait of Artigas is printed. In this case the Facial value is 15 UYP, and the Colour selected for this Stamp is Blue.

Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Clearly Masonry or Freemasonry, and in particular Freemasonry in Uruguay, and even more precisely the Masonic Lodge "Gran Oriente de Uruguay", whose 25th Anniversary is honoured with this issue.

Freemasonry is a Fraternal Organisation that traces its origins to the local fraternities of Stonemasons, which from the end of the XIV Century regulated the qualifications of Stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients. Masons are members of the organization. The degrees of Freemasonry, its gradal system, retain the three grades of medieval craft guilds, those of Apprentice, journeyman or fellow (now called Fellowcraft), and Master Mason. These are the degrees offered by craft, or blue lodge Freemasonry. There are additional degrees, which vary with locality and jurisdiction, and are now administered by different bodies than the craft degrees.

The basic, local organisational unit of Freemasonry is the Lodge. The Lodges are usually supervised and governed at the regional level (usually coterminous with either a state, province, or national border) by a Grand Lodge or Grand Orient. There is no international, world-wide Grand Lodge that supervises all of Freemasonry. Each Grand Lodge is independent, and they do not necessarily recognise each other.

Then, the desing of the Issue is divided in three clearly defined components, two of them sharing the foreground, that are the kind of Coin that is shown at right, and the Sculpture at Left, over a background of a Chess board like Floor Tiles with three different Columns over it, and a full of Stars Sky behind them.

The Coin brings obviously Numismatic Topic to the Release, also Metals and Minerals, in particular Gold, as the most probable Material in which the Coin is made. Then, from the elements in the Coin, clearly the Square and Compass, main Symbols of the Freemasonry, and also Tools of Measurement and Construction. Also the inscription of "Libertad, Igualdad, Fraternidad" included in the Coin, refers to the French Phrase "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" from the French Revolution, so there is here a link to the France as a Country, and to Democracy, Republicanism, and Liberalism Ideologies.

Then, the Sculpture, besides bringing Art to the Topics of the Issue, it also brings Work, as it is the Topic of the Scuplture, and also Marble, because of the Material in which it was made, and even the Sculptor Angel Ferrari Rocca as the Artist who made the Sculpture that is shown in the Stamp.

Finally, the background of the Stamp links the Release to Architecture by the Columns, to Astronomy or Space, through the Stars and Sky, and Chess because of the Chessboard like Tiles.


If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.

TOPIC STUDY - #0002 - VOLLEYBALL SPORT - URUGUAY - VERSION #0002


Volleyball Sport - Uruguay PreviousNext )

Version 2








Topic Description:

Volleyball is a Team Sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules. It has been Part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since Tokio 1964 Olympic Games.

The complete rules are extensive. But simply, play proceeds as follows: a player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to 3 times but individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively. Typically, the first two touches are used to set up for an attack, an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such a way that the serving team is unable to prevent it from being grounded in their court.

The rally continues, with each team allowed as many as three consecutive touches, until either (1): a team makes a kill, grounding the ball on the opponent's court and winning the rally; or (2): a team commits a fault and loses the rally. The team that wins the rally is awarded a point, and serves the ball to start the next rally. A few of the most common faults include: causing the ball to touch the ground or floor outside the opponents' court or without first passing over the net;catching and throwing the ball; double hit: two consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same player; four consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same team; net foul: touching the net during play; foot fault: the foot crosses over the boundary line when serving.

The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body.

A number of consistent techniques have evolved in Volleyball, including spiking and blocking (because these plays are made above the top of the net, the vertical jump is an athletic skill emphasized in the sport) as well as passing, setting, and specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures.


Brief Description of Releases:

Only a few Releases on Volleyball Sport Topic were released by the Uruguayan Post Office, being precisely, only Seven Releases were issued until now, being Five of them, with Volleyball Sport as Main Topic, then One having a Major Reference in the Design, and the another One having a Minor Reference in the Design.

The First Uruguayan Release related to the Volleyball Sport Topic was issued on April 4th of 1969, and was about the Volleyball World Cup Uruguay 1969, that was held in Montevideo on April of 1969. Then, in a similar way, it was issued on July 11th of 1974 a Release about another Volleyball World Cup this time the First FIVB Women Volleyball World Cup Uruguay 1973, that was held in Uruguay from October 19th to October 28th of 1973. And later, on October 26th of 1987 another one about Volleyball International Cup, this time the South American Cup held in Uruguay too from September 19th to September 26th of 1987.

After that, more than a decade passed by until another issue related Volleyball Sport Topic was released by the Uruguayan Post Office, and it was just a Major Reference in the Design, in a release about the Festival of Childhood and Youth Juvenalia '98 issued on October 30th of 1998, in which the design was two Hands hititng a Ball, clearly in the way that most Volleyball hits are done.

Then, another long gap in releases about Volleyball Sport occurs until, on May 5th of 2014 a Release about the Centenary of the University Sport League shows only a Minor Reference in the Design to this Sport, showing a Volleyball Ball in it design, because one of the Sports included in the University Sport League was Volleyball. Then, only less than a year after, in year 2015, two more releases in less than a month were issued, both celebrating the Centenary of the Uruguayan Volleyball Federation. The first, issued on March 18th of 2015 consists of one of the stamps of a Sport Series that celebrates the Centenaries of Both Basketball and Volleyball Uruguayan Federations, and then on April 7th of 2015, a Special Postmark was released celebrating the Centenary of the Uruguayan Volleyball Federation in particular.
