true legend who left a lasting impact in the musical world. His music will continue to inspire
people for generations to come. Mozart was a true rockstar of his time, and his music still
rocks our world today!"</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>By: <a class="a-link-normal" href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emma-Warner-Reed/e/B017QXR44I/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7511f; cursor: pointer; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; outline-offset: -2px; outline: rgb(0, 130, 150) auto 5px;">Emma Warner-Reed</a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg48HE-2YnY6xqMzPAUMuiYH70X0nwjjB3wBAjKQYNxYsEJkMNDxAX8AVapD5vheOtlm8s__uvRxL-QkY86Dcf6n_QrCzWK7XH85xmt70fBI1Q5my71X6PxolNL-9FNZwSvBwRqNy2QOrmQJ2L1fV46n22iZ7K8JKik32_IBADzyPjJ3B1-AMZ1aZaqjweK/s429/61nDjQKJIOL._SY425_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="429" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg48HE-2YnY6xqMzPAUMuiYH70X0nwjjB3wBAjKQYNxYsEJkMNDxAX8AVapD5vheOtlm8s__uvRxL-QkY86Dcf6n_QrCzWK7XH85xmt70fBI1Q5my71X6PxolNL-9FNZwSvBwRqNy2QOrmQJ2L1fV46n22iZ7K8JKik32_IBADzyPjJ3B1-AMZ1aZaqjweK/w400-h396/61nDjQKJIOL._SY425_.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Shobana's Note: </p><p>Mozart was a child prodigy.</p><p>His music significantly influenced the classical theme and his compositions, like those of Haydn and Beethoven are considered legendary that transcend time.</p><p>Mozart's mastery of the baroque style showcased his versatility and innovation.</p><p>"Mozart wasn’t just a great musician; he was also an amazing composer. He wrote music for
all kinds of instruments and groups of musicians. Some of his most famous works are the
ones he wrote for big orchestras, like symphonies, overtures, and concertos. These pieces
show how talented he was, both as a composer and a musician." <i>(Author: Emma Warner Reed)</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><span face="__fkGroteskNeue_532e43, __fkGroteskNeue_Fallback_532e43, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0;

Held together by five breath-length performance prose pieces, the collection offers a glimpse into the perpetual wandering and observation of city streets.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Listen delves into themes of bitter upbringing, nostalgic oranges, and a deep calling to the Hong Kong poets of our time. The collection is a celebration of poetry that gives light and hope in a city divided, where creativity and expression are more important than ever.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">With its haunting prose and vivid imagery, Listen is a must-read for anyone who wants to explore the intersection of poetry, politics, and culture in contemporary Hong Kong. It is a testament to the enduring power of the written word to inspire, heal, and transform in times of darkness and uncertainty.</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>SHOBANAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17219422945660226294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091368327845944218.post-52622462613492556342023-07-29T21:52:00.000-07:002023-07-29T21:52:32.426-07:00Book Review - How They Keep You Poor<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38;

Everyone has a choice as he says, to choose to be happy - rid your thoughts of anxiety and you will find that problems are solved better with a clear and happy mind.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mr. Hajro has proven that what he writes here, he has used for his own personal journey in life. He has built a sustainable business and achieved remarkable success with integrity and a charitable mind. He also donates to two charities every month and helps people with disabilities.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">In spite of all the hurdles that he has encountered, he is a self-made man, who followed his instincts and his heart to get to where he is today. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">A very inspiring person, who wants to impart his experiences in life as a lesson to the people around him.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">I would recommend this book as a good read and request that you support Mr. Hajro’s initiative to share his knowledge and experience by buying his books in order to live a happier life. Mr. Hajro’s efforts are to live a happier life with everyone contributing towards it. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mr. Hajro quotes in his book, “And I hope, that we can together make a contribution to more happiness in the world.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial;

A total betrayal of a mother to a son is well expressed here.</p><p>In No reason to die, Terveen’s story touches on deceit. The ending to the story is quite remarkable where the protagonist states. Life is merely a game, and I have learned how to play it by my own rules. Death itself cannot be cheated, but it can certainly be used to cheat life.</p><p>Let Me In is more of an A.I. story about Naze, from the race known as Pragore, who are feared for their savageness. Their sole mission is to eliminate and destroy anything in their paths, plundering the enemy’s mind of every single morsel of data. They feed upon the data, merging it with their own, multiplying their intelligence. This empowered them with the capability to fight, adapt, and evolve in an alarmingly rapid manner. The aftermath of such attacks always resembles a horrific bloodbath that ended in violent ends.</p><p>No Matter What is a heart-wrenching story about a haunting past and life’s trying lessons learned as a survival tactic. A very well-written piece.</p><p>The Monster Beauty tells the story of a fifteen-year-old raised in a brothel. Sona is conditioned to be ready to entertain men when she is suddenly kidnapped and taken to someplace far away to be hidden from her ill-fated destiny. She is surprised to find out that the kidnappers are her mother and brother.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Robin Sharma is
a globally respected humanitarian who, for over a quarter of a century, has
been devoted to helping human beings realize their native gifts. Widely considered
one of the top leadership and personal mastery experts in the world, his
clients include famed billionaires, iconic professional athletes, and many
Fortune 100 companies. The author’s #1 bestsellers such as The 5AM Club, The Monk
Who Sold His Ferrari, The Leader Who Had No Title and The Greatness Guide have
sold millions of copies in over 92 languages and dialects, making him one of the
most widely read writers alive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Shobana’s Note:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A paragraph
on page 219 of the book says this.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What makes
a fabulous wine so fantastic is the <i>terroir</i> – the environment the vines
are raised in. Elements of a terroir include climate, soil, terrain, and
farming practices. Similarly, your mind has its own terroir – the surroundings
that shape each thought you produce. A negative environment breeds degraded
thinking. A pristine terroir promotes positive thoughts. So, choose yours well.
Please.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The paragraph
above outlines what it takes to fashion life at its best, and as detailed in
the highly evocative, The Everyday Hero Manifesto, you will see how the truth
of the statement above revolves around the real lives of luminaries who have
made a difference in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Reading the book
was an incredible experience for me. I came off a lot more knowledgeable,
wiser, and braver to face any unforeseen circumstantial occurrences that come
my way. It is a book that will speak to you on a personal level, masterfully
crafted to touch the sensibilities of the everyday hero in you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Robin has
created something sensational I should say by writing this book, and the lesson
I learned the most is that even at the peak of one’s prime or time, misfortunes
and the stumbles of life stands at the behest. It is a call to awareness of how
fragile life is and as Robin says, life is a short ride.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>About the book:<o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope’s Merry-Go-Round is the latest addition to Mary M. Cushnie-Mansour’s
collection of incredible stories told. The idea for the story mooted when she
read an article in the newspaper about sexual abuse by a sibling, something she
felt was an abuse seldom talked about.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is the tragic story of Hope, a quiet child, often
ignored by her mother and two sisters throughout her growing up years. She was
the “unwanted” accident in her family, the child her mother was afraid to have
due to pregnancy complications. Her sisters, Faith, and Charity were much more
advanced in age, while her brother, Jeremiah, was five years older.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jeremiah’s mean streak began from the time she was born
since he detested his parents having another baby. He would soon traumatize and
hurt Hope even as a young toddler.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Her mother would brush away his bullying tactics by saying that
it would teach her not to be a cry baby, whenever Hope cried at his antics or
threw a tantrum.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The only consoling factor was that her dad doted on her,
which made up for some of the hurts she experienced. She was somewhat comforted
by the warmth and affection he showered on her, although he often turned a
blind eye to his wife’s careless dismissal of Jeremiah’s taunts and bullying. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At eleven, Jeremiah began to sexually abuse Hope, which
lasted till she turned thirteen. Hope couldn’t understand how as a sibling he behaved
in such an indecent manner and was helpless during the assaults.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She kept the abuse a secret in order not to hurt her
parents. Anyway, she wasn’t sure if her mother who doted on her brother and who
could see no wrong in him, would believe her if she confided in her.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She withdraws into her shell. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She turns to a life of promiscuity as an adult, teaching
during the day, and turning the nights into a sexual haunt.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She meets and befriends Cooper, a gay, who turns out to be
her best friend and confidante. He had his problems but was there for her in
every way as a good friend. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When she and Cooper were insulted by Jeremiah at a family Christmas
dinner, Hope, embarrassed and disgusted, attempts suicide – her third try but is
saved in the nick of time by Cooper who rushes her to the hospital. Cooper had
saved her life once before.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the hospital, she is assigned to a medical counselor by
the name of Dr. Laurie Hudson. Laurie too had been abused by family members
during her growing up years and had run away from home at the age of sixteen.
She could relate to Hope’s suffering and wanted to help her overcome the trauma
of a painful past. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They become good friends.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With Laurie’s guidance and counsel, Hope begins to heal as she
slowly opens up about the mental anguish she had undergone as a child and the
trauma of being a victim of sexual abuse.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jeremiah dies, and a hateful past is buried with him.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The story ends on a positive note with Hope beginning a new
chapter, a changed woman, more oriented to finding happiness and love as
opposed to the sadness, fear, and shame that had hounded her all through her
life. She finally makes peace with her family members.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shobana’s Note:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would recommend Hope’s Merry-Go-Round to anyone as an enlightening and informative read. Often, as Mary says in her book, sexual abuse by siblings is seldom highlighted.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The story will take the reader into the depths of hidden hurts and trauma of children at the hands of people closest to them, who turn out to be their worst nightmare.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The story also highlights how parents of abused children often don’t notice the warning signs of bullies and tormentors among their children. Turning a blind eye to the predicament of abused children will draw a wedge between the relationship of a parent and a child, as is the case of Hope, who was bullied and sexually abused by her brother from the age of eleven.</p><p class="MsoNormal">This heartwrenching story will take you through the trauma of an abused mind and in the end, liberate you by the concerted touch of care and at the hands of gentle healing. In this regard, Dr. Laurie Hudson, and Hope's best friend, Cooper turn out to be her saving grace.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Mary M. Cushnie-Mansour has written a remarkable, touching story about the realities of sexual abuse and, lifelong effects on the victims.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The End.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>SHOBANAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17219422945660226294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091368327845944218.post-32230241260200755062021-07-02T23:37:00.007-07:002021-07-02T23:41:37.815-07:00BOOK REVIEW - FIVE FACES OF A MORTAL<p> </p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 4.15pt; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #0f1111; font-family: "Engravers MT",serif; font-size: 24pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY;">book R E V I E W<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Review by Shobana: Five faces of a mortal<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Date of Review: 30/06/2021<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The author, Terveen Gill has a unique way of depicting
events and characters in her stories, often touching on human values.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In this book, Five Faces of a Mortal, she chronicles
five different stories that showcase her strong writing skills and imaginative
mindset. Her stories here emphasize basic human rights and sensitivities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the first of her chronicles, Two Trapped Fisherman’s
Sons, she highlights bias against two boys who are co-joined at birth. She
shows them to be lovable characters who are smart in their ways. They were prevented
from participating in a sacred ritual due to their condition; however, their
father stands up for their rights and ignores the head of the village’s stern
rebuke. He is asked to leave the village with his family. One cannot but fall in
love with the antics of the little boys. I enjoyed reading the story.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Man with the crooked mustache tells the story of a
man who loses his wife and two children in a freak accident at a carnival. He shoots
himself to death as he is unable to come to terms with their untimely demise. There
is drama and suspense as the man returns to haunt the place where his family
perished and disappears with two children who were at the carnival.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A beautiful, up-and-rising actress who has worked
hard for her money has a secret to unfold in Beneath the Skin. She has a mother
who is in on the secret, however, she is ill and bedridden. Heena, the actress,
has a nurse who looks after her mother when she goes for her shoots. In an
altogether unprecedented move, the nurse finds out the secret and blackmails Heena.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The story of A Cat-tea affair will make you laugh so
hard. A definite must-read. Terveen is candid with the character’s expressive
comments and actions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I think Terveen’s computer engineering background has
had a big influence on Daredevil_666. The technical buff has a girl’s name,
Nari. His father had always wanted him to be an army officer which didn’t materialize.
In a spate of anger, the father calls him a failure. He may be a loser in real
life, but in the virtual world, he was a daredevil! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A delightful read. I would recommend this book to
anyone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="background: white;"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">The Safety, published in 2015, the second book authored by P.E.
Fischetti after The Big Train’s Backyard (2013), is one of the most intensely written
sports stories that have successfully captured the imagination and heartstrings
of his readers. </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="background: white;"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Fischetti’s third book, Ms. Pretty Please published in 2020, ends the
trilogy detailing the lives of the Finelli and Santucci families of Kensington
and Bethesda, Maryland.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">As The Safety, Finelli outshone
his competitors with his panther-like quickness to the ball, lion-like strength
to tackle the runner in the backfield, and always held the football arena with
a suspense-filled game.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As he began to get

<p style="background: white;"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">As with his other books, Fischetti begins his book with a historical
adaptation of how football began to take form in the lives of Americans.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">During the Civil War
era, organized sports slowly replaced war between states, cities, and towns as
acceptable aggression between conflicting sides. Football was the most
combative of these aggressions. Football – the first attempt was a rough
combination of soccer and rugby - Rutgers University against Princeton
University – November 6, 1869.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">All of</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mr. Fischetti’s books to-date have a remarkable
account of facts that serve to intrigue as it clarifies. His in-depth knowledge
of dates and times often relates with candor to the characters that he outlines
with ease and creates an exactness to the stories he puts out to the world.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Guy Finelli as The Safety
is a powerhouse and reading his story gives one the feeling that the field he
steps onto is his foothold and that no other player comes to prominence except him.
He takes command of the whole game.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The man in Guy Finelli had
to face many tragic occurrences in his young life that leads to a trying time for
him to overcome. I think the most hurtful of them all was when he lost his love
to a mindless murder at a time when she was carrying his child. He makes wise
decisions within seconds, and while waiting for help had to perform a C-section
to save his child.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In Guy Finelli you find
the runaway too, the man who wants time off from his stardom or personal
disasters. The man who struggles inwardly to keep up to the success of a half-brother
who has risen to the highest ranks both personally and career-wise. However, in
Alex Santucci, he also sees his mental and physical support. He has never once
failed Finelli.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">However, with love, dedication,
and his newfound love who he marries, not forgetting his precious love child
that he saved to keep a beautiful past alive, Guy Finelli is an emulation to
those who believe in the miracles of second chances.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Isn’t it interesting that
Guy Finelli chose to rise as The Safety – the last line of defense in football…</span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="background: white; color: #202124; font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I highly recommend
this book for a great read to anyone, especially, fans of football.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: Georgia, serif;">The Game:</span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="background: white; color: #202124; font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">As no one can
summarize the game better than the author who is as passionate as he is knowledgeable,
as follows in Mr. Fischetti’s words, is the game eloquently explained:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY;">From now on American Football is Football and Mayla Football is Soccer.
The only other kinds of Football are Australian Rules Football (which is more
like Rugby) and Canadian Football( which is like American Football with an
extra player, wider field, fewer downs, etc..)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">As I state in "The Safety", Football was played between
Princeton and Rutgers in 1869. It was more like a Rugby & Soccer hybrid.
Soon it was played by Colleges all across America in post-Civil War times. The
rules were set up in the 1880s to make the game uniform.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The point of the game is to score by getting in the other team's end
zone and get six points. The field is one hundred yards with ten-yard end zones
for each team to defend. Total 120 yds. It is 160 feet wide or 53.3 yds(a
soccer field is 65 yds wide & 110 to 120yds long).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">A team gets four downs after they receive the ball on a kick-off.
Generally, they have to gain 70 to 80 yds on a drive to score a Touchdown for 6
points. After a TD, they get to kick an extra point(1 point) from thirty-three
yds or a two-point conversion(2 points) if they score on a play from
the three-yard line.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Every series or drive, a team gets four plays to gain ten yards. Usually,
they punt the football on 4th down if they have not made ten yards and play
defense. If they make a first down by gaining ten or more yards, they get the
first Down again...etc. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">A team can kick a Field goal if they get close enough, generally within
60 yards of the goalposts that are on the end of each end zone. That is worth 3
points.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">A team can gain Safety(rare) and receive 2 points if they tackle the
other team in their end zone.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Each game has 8 referees to call penalties(which is annoying) but it
keeps players from blocking and tackling incorrectly, like holding, blocking
from behind, offsides, etc.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY;">A game has 4 quarters of 15 minutes. The clock stops a lot for
incomplete passes and going out of bounds and team time-out. It usually takes 3
hours to finish most games.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY;">The perfect game for advertisers and parties. Each play takes an average
of six seconds. But each play the team has to be set(not moving, with only one
man eligible to go sideways(in-motion). This takes ten to fifteen seconds, with
each team yelling out adjustments. The defense can move anywhere, except
crossing the line of scrimmage, before the play starts with a snap from Center
to the Quarterback.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY;">On offense, five players make up the blockers, one QB & five
eligible receivers. the offense has to have 7 players on the line of scrimmage,
close to each other or spread wide. The number of formations is endless
but generally, the QB receives the football from the center blocker with two
outside receivers on the line of scrimmage and three players behind him or the
flank or slot.</span><span style="color: #202124; font-family: Georgia, serif;">-the end-</span></p>SHOBANAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17219422945660226294noreply@blogger.com0
