Banana Kick




According to the wikipedia, banana kick is also known as a checkside punt. The banana kick is a kicking style used in Australian Rules and rugby league football. When kicked, it bends away from the body and is usually used when a set shot for goal is lined up on a narrow angle.


The following are the simplest 4 steps to perform Banana kick:


Step 1

Place the soccer ball on the ground and take a few steps back. You will want your target to be at least 30 feet away, but not out of your kicking range.


Step 2

Set up a target for your shot. The target can either be a goal, a fellow player or just a spot on the ground. Be sure you know exactly where you want the ball to land.


Step 3

Aim the kick to the right or left of the target. In a game, if you are attempting to perform a banana kick, it is because there will be something in the way of a direct kick.


Step 4

Kick the ball by grazing it low on one side (the far side). If you are aiming to the right of the target, graze the bottom-right of the soccer ball. If you are aiming to the left of the target, graze the bottom-left of the ball. What you want to happen is for the ball to lift into the air and make a slight curve in the direction you want it to go.

Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gas.

Green house effect leave a great impact to the ecosystem. It causes glacier retreat and disappearance then later result in the rising of sea level and temperature rise. Hence, all of us have the responsibility to prevent the situation from becoming worst. The only simple thing that we can do is reduced to create greenhouse gas.

Love Our Planet !

The Importance Of Insurance

Dear friends,

As part of my job, i am advertising this to share with you what i have shared with
people around me. Will this help you or not, you decide but i'm sure this truly, definitely will
benefits you if you understand what i'm trying to deliver.

The correct expenditure concept :
INcome -----> saving + risk management (10%) ---> expenses (90%)

RM1500 -----> RM150 (10%) ----> RM1350 (90%)

Is it very not reasonable to save 10% of ur income to manage your own risk
( Accident, paralysis, cancer, disability ) and for your future? The most highlighted thing is the premium is 100% return. You are doing your saving indirectly. So, think about it. Your future life is either rich or poor. You are the ONLY one who can decide it.

Have you ever think what might be happen to your parents and love one when one day you accidentally lost the ability to work or pass away.

Let them continue working to support your living fee and medical fee without enjoying their golden age?

**Facts**
When unfortunates happen and needed RM 70,000 minimum for surgery, people normally;

1. Borrow Money - from relative and frends?
Will they lend you when they know you lost your ability to work? What about those hatred eyes if they do lend money to you? Will you be happy?

2. Sell properties - Can you get money immediately from selling houses or cars?

3. Donation/ Fund /welfare department - Do you donate to the unfortunate often?

Do not let tragedy become families' burden. Parents already have hard time building up the family. Childrens have their own future. You do not want them to suffer financially. Is whether you cover yourself or let us cover for you.

ARE YOU PREPARED WHEN YOUR DOCTOR TELL YOU THE WORST?

For more details, you are welcome to refer from me.

Thanks.

The Spirit of de Grisogono




As we all know, diamond is the hardest naturally-occuring mineral in our planet. The hardness of diamond is closely related to its carbon atoms arrangement. It is the allotrope of carbon where the carbon atoms are arranged in an isometric-hexoctahedral crystal lattice. Its hardness and high dispersion of light make it useful for industrial applications and jewelry.


49% of diamonds originate from central and southern Africa. Significant sources of this mineral have been also discovered in Canada, India, Russia, Brazil and Australia.


Regarding to the article linked above, The Spirit of de Grisogono is the world's largest cut black diamond and the world's fifth largest diamond overall. Starting at an uncut weight of 587 carats, it was taken from its origin in west central Africa and cut by Swiss jeweler De Grisogono. The resulting mogul-cut diamond weighs 312.24 carats and is set in a white gold ring with 702 smaller white diamonds totaling 36.69 carats. The ring is rumored to have been sold to an anonymous buyer for an undisclosed amount.
