Hilarious! This should be the longest Penalty attempt during an open play in Football

I haven't watched any football match that had it penalty kick retaken as much as this... The official Olympics Twitter handle uploaded this video of a penalty kick taken during a football match. 

The way the referee kept telling the players to retake the penalty kick until a 6th attempt, I really pity for the taker. Glad he finally scored at the last attempt.

How To Get Your Baby To Sit, Walk And Crawl By Developing Their Motor Skills

Actions which involve babies using their muscles are called motor skills. According to Wikipedia, “a motor skill is a learned sequence of movements that combine to produce a smooth, efficient action in order to master a particular task.” Generally, there are two types; Gross Motor Skills and Fine Motor Skills.

While Gross Motor Skills use large muscle groups to perform specific tasks which include movements made by the baby using his legs, arms or body such as crawling, sitting, walking, and running, Fine Motor Skills use smaller muscle groups to complete tasks. Movements made by the baby to pick things up, write, use the tongue to taste things, are a few examples.

Rotimi Amaechi: Leave Trash For LAWMA Reno Omokri replies Amaechi

Again, Nigeria's Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has left the issues raised by my response to his fallacious interview to impugn my character in a vicious ad hominem attack on me. My response is as follows:

Why should I respond to the trash that Rotimi Amaechi has thrown at me? Out of the fullness of the heart a man speaks. He has trash within him so he always vomits trash.

I do not react to trash. I leave trash to LAWMA. Rotimi Amaechi, with his pot belly and ill fitting designer clothes, is trash.
