Blue tooth
Blue tooth is a radio standard and communications protocol mostly designed for low power consumption, with a short range based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device. The devices use a radio communications system, so they do not have to be in line of view of each other, and can even be in other rooms, as long as the conservative transmission is powerful enough.

Hockey
Hockey is any of a family of sports in which two teams struggle by trying to maneuver a ball, or a hard, surrounding disc called a puck, into the opponent's net or goal, using a hockey stick. Field hockey is played on nettle, natural grass, sand-based or water-based artificial turfs, with a small, hard ball. The game is popular among both males and females in many countries of the world, mostly in Europe, India, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and South Asia. In most countries, the game is played between single-sex sides, even though it can be played by mixed-sex sides. In the United States and Canada it is played mostly by women. Ball hockey is played in a gym using sticks and a ball, often a tennis ball with the hair removed.

Race
Since the 1940s, some evolutionary scientists have rejected the view of race as a biologically meaningful impression. A majority of evolutionary scientists reject the notion that any definition of race pertaining to humans can have any taxonomic rigour and validity. Mainstream scientists have argued that race definition are imprecise, arbitrary, derived from custom, have many exceptions, have many gradations, and that the numbers of races experimental vary according to the culture examined. They further preserve that race as such is best understood as a social construct.
