A topping off, or topping out, ceremony is a tradition that began years ago [among] Scandinavians, who believed their gods lived in trees. Early Scandinavians placed the top-most branches of trees on top of their completed buildings to prevent upsetting the gods. The topping off was accompanied with [a] celebration to ensure good luck for future occupants of the building.  5, record 1, English, - topping%20off%20ceremony

Achievement goal theory postulates that, in the achievement setting of sport, two goal orientations are evident : task and ego. These goal orientations are linked to two different conceptions of ability. The first is the undifferentiated(or less differentiated) conception of ability, evident in most individuals below the age of about 12 years, whereby effort, luck and task difficulty cannot be distinguished from ability(or they are partly distinguished) as causes of outcomes(Nicholls, 1989).  2, record 10, English, - achievement%20goal%20theory
