Betis got hit on the counter in the 56th minute. Messi ran accross the field, gave Arda the ball, got it back and provided Suarez with a wonderful diagonal pass who put it over the line.
It was another Magical Messi moment in 57th minute as he collected the ball from the Turk captain, danced past the Betis defense before shooting it into the lower right corner. Magnificient!
After shooting a freekick into the wall and another one over the wall, Messi let Surez take one in the 82nd and the man produced a beautiful shot right into the top corner. A hat trick on the first day! Can it get any better?

Things to kill time when you have nothing to do

Internet is quite a place where you can spend hours and hours without realizing. There was a time when we were fighting wars and we didn’t know how our enemy looked like. Now, we have reached a point where we can talk to a person sitting at the other corner of the world as if he was sitting in our room. Information is available at hand about anything that we can imagine. We can shop in some other country located at the other side of the world while sitting in the comfort of our bedroom.

1. Watching Videos

This is one of the things that are meant to kill time mostly. However, you can make this hobby quite productive as well. You could choose to watch entertainment videos on websites like YouTube and go on a never-ending spree of watching videos. Alternatively, you could choose to watch some learning videos. You could learn to make use of little stuff that is lying around in your house without a purpose. You could learn to make your friends fool with small tricks or create some mesmerizing optical illusions.

2. Learning Stuff

You can learn anything you want on the internet. If you have always wanted to be a graphic or web designer, you could do that by taking online lessons. There are websites dedicated to offering you free knowledge. However, most of them will ask you to pay for professional learning. You can learn website development, SEO, programming, video editing etc. You can also watch videos to learn to play a certain instrument that you have always liked. Many people have become tech geeks by simply watching the online videos and learning how small electronic components work.

3. Reviewing Products

If you are getting bored and have nothing to do, you could take some time to give feedback to companies that have been helpful to you in some way in the past. You must have used thousands of products in your life without ever taking the time out to talk about them with people on the internet. You could give back to those companies for their great services and products by reviewing their products online. You could on the business-specific websites or other websites that are meant for providing review or products and places to people to allow them to make better decisions.

4. Making Music

You don’t have to learn to play an instrument if you don’t have the time to. There are enough softwares available today that allow you to bring your thoughts on the table and play them to the world. While you have to buy those softwares, some basic music softwares and applications now allow you to make music online. These softwares can be added to your browsers as extensions and you could create any type of music you want and save it in the cloud. You could also hear the submissions from millions of other people from around the world.

5. Editing Photos

Just like you can make music using several web applications, you can edit photos as well. These are two of the things that are not only good for killing time but they let you get into a work that you can use for making money. People are literally making thousands of dollars every year using their photo editing and music making skills as freelancers. There are hundreds and thousands of websites with quite fascinating online web applications that allow you to play around with pictures not only for fun but in a professional way as well. Fotofigo is a good place for you to do the photo editing at.

6. Making New Friends

There are now several online applications that allow you to make friends easily and from any corner of the world. The good thing about these applications is that they let you join groups or rooms based on your interests so you meet people whose interests match yours. Many of the applications are available on your smartphones. Some services would let you get connected to random people on a video call whereas some connect you to people on voice for only a short while and then the call gets cut.

7. Answering Questionnaires

You can actually earn from this work. You could take part in online surveys that could be about anything you can think of. Providing your feedback about those things allows you to earn money. You won’t become a millionaire by doing those surveys but getting money for simply answering questions that even a 2nd grader can is no big hassle. You can also fill out questionnaires that have been hosted by online websites to get feedback on their products. By filling out such questionnaires and survey forms you can help companies make their products and services better.

8. Knowing More About Yourself

There are a lot of ways for you to know more about yourself by going online. There are certain where you can go to take small tests to know about your psychology, the type of person you are or the type of career that is best for you. You could also take easy IQ tests to know your IQ level. There are many websites filled with tricky and logical questions that you can answer to know how good you are at using logic to solve problems. Similarly, there are enough resources to keep you busy for weeks and months without getting bored.

Intermediate Problems: Why We Need Changes In English Paper Pattern

Of the many problems with the syllabus, teaching methods and paper patterns of Intermediate in Pakistan, one of the most important is the problem with English which, being a language, should focus on creativity and vocabulary. Instead, it relies heavily on cramming.

This is written according to Lahore board.

Consider, for example the English of first year that comprises of two books. The first one features short stories while the second one has one-act plays and poems. 51 out of 100 marks in the paper are completely dependent on how well you can remember things. They comprise of MCQs, short questions and an English passage that needs to be translated into Urdu which comes directly from the book. A simple step, like making that English passage random would do so much good. And about the short questions, kindly tell me why do I need to remember what haircut Miss McCutcheon wanted? Or why do you I need to remember how was the throne room decorated? This is absurd to the point of being hilarious! If the objective is to test the comprehensional ability of the students then this is definitely not the right way. A random passage with question answer would be a much better alternative.

The situation gets a little better in the second year as the memorizing portion gets reduced to 34 with the inclusion of an essay and random Urdu Passage to be translated into English. But still those short questions need to be removed. I mean, I don't care what Mr.Chips served to his guests.
And although the choice of material in the syllabus is quite good but some changes are still needed. For example, sufi poems in the first year syllabus like "He alighted form High Heaven to pour a cascade of love" are, I think a little too much to digest for intermediate students who are still little immature.

Supercopa leg 2: Barca win the first silverware of the season!

It was another beautiful evening in the Camp Nou as Barcelona were able to build on their advantage from the first leg three days ago to beat Sevilla.

The Preview:

Going into the match, Barca had an advantage of two away goals. The starting eleven was completely changed. Iniesta was out due an injury in the first leg, Pique,Rakitic and Suarez were on the bench, probably to get rest for the Liga opener on Saturday. Similar was the case with Sevilla who had their captain Adil Rami out.

The Match:

The first goal game early in the 10th. A typical Barcelona goal; Messi to Gomes and back to Messi who gave a beautiful through ball to Arda Turan who didn't disappoint. Sevilla gained a chance a to equalize through a penalty courtesy of a handball by Umtiti. However, the shot was saved by Bravo. Barca's second goal was also scored by Turan who found a loose ball on the edge of area and slotted home from a distance. The third goal was real shock. An inch perfect cross from Lucas Digne found Lionel Messi, and the little man did beautifully to head into the bottom left corner. Stunning! Both teams had chances after that but the tie had been pretty much decided. And, in the end, Messi lifted his first trophy as the man with the armband.

Turkish Government going to RELEASE PRISONERS in order to imprison the coup plotters

In an apparent move to reduce its prison population to make space for thousands of people who have been arrested as part of an investigation into last month’s failed coup, Turkey issued a decree paving the way for the conditional release of some 38,000 prisoners, the Justice Minister said on Wednesday.

The government decree, issued under Turkey’s three-month long state of emergency that was declared following the coup, allows the release of inmates who have two years or less to serve of their prison terms and makes convicts who have served half of their prison term eligible for parole. Some prisoners are excluded from the measures- people convicted of murder, domestic violence, sexual abuse or terrorism and other crimes against the state.

The measures would not apply for crimes committed after July 1, excluding any people later convicted of involvement in the failed July 15 coup.

Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said on his Twitter account the measure would lead to the release of some 38,000 people. He insisted it was not a pardon or an amnesty but a conditional release of prisoners.

The Turkish government declared a state of emergency and launched a massive crackdown on Gulen’s supporters in the aftermath of the coup. Some 35,000 people have been detained for questioning and more than 17,000 of them have been formally arrested to face trial, including soldiers, police, judges and journalists.

Tens of thousands more people with suspected links to Gulen have been suspended or dismissed from their jobs in the judiciary, media, education, health care, military and local government.

In separate decree, also issued Wednesday, the government dismissed 2,300 more officers from the police force, in addition to another 136 military officers and 196 employees from its information technology authority.

Wednesday’s decrees also allow the air force to hire new pilots or take back pilots who had resigned or were discharged before the coup to replace pilots who have been arrested or dismissed for alleged participation in the coup or links to Gulen.

The government crackdown has raised concerns among European nations and human rights organizations, who have urged the Turkish government to show restraint.

Turkey’s 180,000-person prisons were already filled to capacity before the crackdown on Gulen’s movement, with some rights groups claiming that inmates were forced to take turns to sleep on beds. Turkey has issued several prison amnesties over the past decades to ease conditions in its prisons, but the measures proved unpopular with the public.

Bozdag insisted Wednesday that those being released would still be supervised.

“This measure is not an amnesty,” Bozdag said on Twitter. “The punishment will be served outside through supervised released.”

“I hope that the arrangement is beneficial to the prisoners, their loved ones, our people and our country,” the minister wrote.

FOOTBALL

Most people think upon football as just a sport ,But for people like me ,Its much more than just a game .We are blessed to be alive in an era of the best footballers of all time .Players who have created scenes that only we could imagine .Who have tossed up football from a boring game ,To one of the most popular in the world .Footballers like Cristiano Ronaldo Lionel Messi,Diego Maradona ,Pele ,Zlatan Ibrohimovic and need i go on ,Have set forward themselves as an example of hardwork ,dedication and spirit.They have dedicated their lives to the beautiful game and their fans .They have worked day and night to achieve the level of excellence which is finally paying off ,They weren't made perfect .They're hardwork made them .Lets talk about Ronaldo,He was a poor boy who could only dream of owning a big house ,Let alone be one of the richest footballers .But his dedication is the reason he is where he is today .If he hadn't practised day and night,He wouldn't have been where he is .Lionel Messi, he was diagnosed with a hormonal deficiency ,But he didn't let that stop him from chasing his dreams .Football isn't just a game ,It isn't time wasting. Its a way of living .And once you understand football ,The only goal you want ,Is to score one .
