The articles on this website represents the views of this author and various others and in no way represents the official teachings of the Moorish Science Temple of America.
How Moors Became African American
Moorish Americans are the only people who have their nationality and origin completely stripped from them. They are also the only people on earth who are consistently labelled and then re-labelled by people from outside of their community. On paper these people have been labelled by the government as Indian, negro, black, colored, and they now have the label African American.
To demonstrate the level of confusion that this has caused the so-called African American, who has yet to define himself, I will switch between labels throughout this passage. Sometimes I will say negro, colored, African American, black, and or Afro American. I will also use the term indigenous American and Indian to refer to this group of people, as well as the proper persona and nationality, Moorish American.
With thorough examination behind the timing of these re-classifications of this special group of people it becomes apparent that there was an understanding by the European colonizers that the they need to re-label this group every few generations before the current label gets stale and old among the people. There is a need to keep Moorish Americans confused as to their origin and nationality in order for the European descendants to remain in power. This is the only logical explanation as to why laws were enacted across the country in mass to reclassify Indians with full tribal rights and who could trace their lineage to negro.
There are several laws, acts, and court cases leaving behind a paper trail of evidence showing these heinous acts of robbing the true indigenous people of their rights and reclassifying them as negro or black (term use depending on the time period). In the video below a peculiar case involving the Montauk Indians being declared extinct while the chief of the tribe and nearly eighty tribe members sit in court is examined in detail. The Supreme Court judge declared the chief and tribe members "too black" to be Indians. Meanwhile all of their tribal land, which later became lucrative resorts and prime real estate in Long Island, went to a handful of greedy European descendants.
Every Generation They Are Re-Labelled or Reclassified
Once upon a time the indigenous people of the land, who were described by the European colonists as having copper-colored skin were called Indians. Within the first century of European conquests of the Americas they began reclassifying many of the indigenous people as negroes. In many cases people were called Indian and negro within the same lifespan as detailed in this post from our website featuring Jack D. Forbes work and the video below.
The indigenous Americans were in numerous cases described by the European colonists as looking like "negroes". William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, described the Lenni-Lenape Indians of Pennsylvania as being spoken of indifferently as Indians and Moors. (Ancient and Modern Britons)
"In 1676 the native races races of New England were spoken of indifferently as "Indians" and "Moors;" and our British "Indians" are also remembered as "Moors.""
Author and explorer George Catlin specifically described the Indians as having dark, copper-colored skin and several grades of hair attributed to the so-called African American, including wavy and curly hair. (BOOKS LETTERS AND NOTES ON THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF AMERICA)
"All primitive tribes known in America are dark, coppered color with jet black hair, while most possess curls in the extreme, and every level of wavy hair in between. The texture of the hair is generally fine, soft or silk or course or harsh."
Most past descriptions of the Indians by European descendants describe them as having copper-colored skin. Over time, through the reclassification of the indigenous population from Indian to negro, negro to colored, colored to black, black to Afro American, and then finally the label African American, this group began to ignore their own family history of having indigenous roots. The so-called African American viewed the whitened modern federally recognized tribe members as the official "Indians" and began to think that their own oral history of indigenous roots implied that they were "mixed" instead of seeing it as proof that people that looked like them were already living here when the European arrived.
The proof has actually been in front of us the entire time. There was actually an older publication, well several publications with titles such as Copper Romance and Copper Colored Gal for instance, which featured so-called African American women.
Mardi Gras Indian
Do you remember the crayon color Indian red? You cannot find it anymore because it's been replaced with chestnut, which is brown. They only changed the name, not the color. Indian Red is also the name of a song sung at gatherings by the Mardi Gras Indians of Louisiana.
Guess what the Mardi Gras Indians look like...so-called African Americans.
While European descendants were describing the indigenous Americans that they met as looking like negroes or Moors, they also were working on plots to steal their land and heritage from them. They gradually enacted laws and acts making it difficult for anyone that looked "black" to claim tribal land and rights.
Why All The Confusion: Negro, Black, Colored, African American 🤔🤔
Eventually the vast majority of these people came into the legal status of "negro" via the census and other record keeping tactics, as well as by government laws and acts. As mentioned in the video above, some people even witnessed their legal status change during their lifetime from Indian to negro. By the time birth certificates were being rolled out the classification of colored was the term that the government deemed necessary for the negro. There are still people living today who were listed as colored on their birth certificate as well as some who were listed as negro.
The government actually changes the status of this group of people every two and a half generations. Once they became too comfortable with the term black they were eased into the label African American. Through manipulation by the media and other propaganda over time this group was taught that they came from the continent of Africa. After two hundred years of attack (1776 - 1976) it was no longer difficult to tell these people that they came from some far off land.
The term African American was set up perfectly for this group on two fronts. One one hand, by appealing to their emotions with programs such as the immensely popular Roots program it was possible to have this group feel more connected to their origin with this label. They would easily accept it and even feel like this term correctly defines them. On the other hand, this scheme fits perfectly into the plans of the group of people that was manipulating the so-called African American and constantly changing his status the entire time.
The label African American was the European descendant's Trump card (pun intended) because it has this group of people trying to connect themselves to an entire continent. It still keeps them clueless and without origin. There are several nations and hundreds of thousands of tribes in the continent of Africa. For example, Nigerians for the most part look nothing like Ethiopians, speak different languages, and have different cultures. They actually are not the same people.
They actually fooled millions of indigenous Americans into thinking they came from another continent and also fooled them into thinking that "black" people only live in Africa. Nevermind the Aborigines in Australia, dark skinned people of India, negritos of the Philippines and Southeast Asia, "blacks of Oceania, and black tribes living all throughout the islands of the Pacific Ocean.
The European convinced everyone that they wiped out millions of Native Americans within 100 years and brought millions of Africans over to the Americas through the slave trade. This name switch for the true indigenous Americans is a heinous act of deception and fraud that the European has committed to usurp their indigenous title and rights to the land.
It is time for the games to end and the so-called African American, negro, black, and colored man to define himself. This is why the Moorish American movement started by Prophet Noble Drew Ali is so important. This movement acknowledges the indigenous element as well as the Moors brought to the Americas through the slave trade. We have to cast off the labels placed on us to keep us collectively asleep.
People like Jesse Jackson, who was at the peak of his popularity in the 80's when he ran for president, were used by the Europeans in power to help keep us asleep. This article was actually inspired by a Facebook post I saw explaining how Rev. Jesse Jackson was used to push the African American label on his people. The post is shared below.
Why Jesse Jackson Gave His People The Label African Americans
Please view this story that a Facebook friend shared explaining how Jesse Jackson bestowed the useless and harmful title of African American on his own community.
On December 1988, in a lower-level conference room of the Hyatt Hotel near O'Hare Airport in Chicago. The Rev. Jesse Jackson was holding a closed session with the National Rainbow Coalition and Operation PUSH board and other high -ranking campaign supporters.
For the leader of the group, Jessie Jackson, the meeting was to be an "agenda-setting" session intended to send a signal about Jackson's future and how he would harness the potential of the coalition he had built during his presidential bid. Anticipation was high from the media, with serious speculation about runs for mayor, governor, senator, or appointment to ambassadorships.
The discussions were free-flowing, with most of the attendees wanting to tackle ongoing issues from apartheid and sanctions to labor unions to farmers, and even talk about planning for a third presidential race and what would be needed to make it viable.
C. Delores Tucker stood up and made a highly passionate argument for the use of "African-American" as opposed to black. Soon later the Rev. Willie Barrow, co-founder of Operation PUSH, concurred, with equal conviction. The rest of the conversation became a rolling affirmation. Once Jackson was persuaded, the agenda was set.
A press conference was made but much of Jackson's Rainbow Coalition staff thought that the name change went in an odd direction, or at least was not significant enough to drive an agenda after a long campaign focused on deeper issues. But the media showed up, and though the press conference did cover several other issues, the headlines that followed focused on racial terminology exclusively.
The Washington Post, The New York Times, and USA Today. Eventually, major newspapers and magazines began including rules for usage of the new term, even as it entered style guides. The Oxford Dictionary included the term only as recently as 2001. The rest is history.
See we must understand that it was done for Jesse Jackson's own political gain!

Watch: Run the Jewels - "Rubble Kings Theme (Dynamite)"


To inform future breeding and genetic modification efforts, Nebraska's James Schnable and his colleagues recently sequenced more than 90 percent of the genetic code in proso millet, a species grown mostly in the American Great Plains, northern China and parts of Europe.
"There's potential to grow it on a much larger scale and take a significant bite out of the amount of additional grain we need to meet the demand for feed and food and ethanol," said Schnable, assistant professor of agronomy and horticulture. "If you look at proso millet (yields), we're where corn was in the 1930s. But we've learned a lot (since then) that … we think we can apply to proso millet.
Farmers in the Panhandle already grow proso millet as a cover crop to restore soil nutrients for their cash crops. Developing varieties that mature and dry on more consistent timelines – which would streamline harvesting – ranks as one of a few obtainable short-term improvements that would make proso millet itself a more economically viable crop, Schnable said.
"I think that's possible in the next five, 10 years," he said. "You can harvest it and plant it with the same equipment used for wheat. These guys are already growing wheat in this region, so it's really not a major change for them to switch over if they want to grow proso millet either in rotation or on land where there isn't enough water even for wheat.
Sequencing the proso millet genome – which identified more than 55,000 genes whose code instructs the building of proteins – has already revealed some surprises. Among them: The species' genome originated from the merging of two closely related genomes more than 5 million years ago. By comparison, the genome of bread wheat emerged within just the last 6,000 years.
The team also made a biochemical discovery that, to date, has been reported in no other plant species. To convert light into sugar via photosynthesis, plant enzymes must first turn inorganic carbon from soil into a photosynthesis-friendly form. In so-called C3 plants – wheat, rice and most other crops – those enzymes sometimes mistakenly grab oxygen rather than carbon dioxide molecules, wasting energy and other resources. The more efficient C4 plants – millet among them – have adapted mechanisms to avoid this mistake.

Rural parts of Allegan County receiving broadband service though CARES Act
As internet access becomes crucial due to online learning during the coronavirus pandemic, rural parts of Allegan County will receive broadband service thanks the federal relief funding.
As a part of the CARES Act, the federal government's $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief package, funding is included for rural communities lacking access to broadband service.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is providing nearly $11 million for broadband service in unserved and underserved rural communities across Southwest Michigan, U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, announced on Wednesday, May 13.
Southwest Michigan Communications will receive will receive a $10.7 million loan/grant combination to deploy Fiber-to-the-Premises broadband service to Van Buren and Allegan counties.
The project aims to extend broadband availability to 22 farms, 19 businesses and 7,700 residents spread over 100 square miles.
Per a map of the USDA's ReConnect Pilot Program, parts of Otsego Township, Lee Township and Grand Junction will receive service.
"This major investment by the USDA is great news for our rural communities across Southwest Michigan," Upton said in a statement.
"Especially today as folks across our region are home practicing social distancing, working, taking classes, and operating businesses, broadband infrastructure must be reliable and secure, and these funds will help us improve connectivity.
"We'll continue to work to ensure families and businesses have the access to the Internet they need, which remains the driving force of our 21st century economy."
Parts of Barry County will also receive broadband service.

Q: For any integers $m,n,r>1$ , does there exist an infinite group $G$,with elements $a,b\in G$ such that $o(a)=m , o(b)=n , o(ab)=r $? I know that for any integers $m,n,r$ , all greater than $1$ , there is a group $G$ with elements $a,b \in G$ such that $o(a)=m , o(b)=n , o(ab)=r $ ; now in the proof , that I know , the group $G$ we construct  is $SL_2(F)/\{I,-I\}$ where $F$ is a finite field depending on $m,n,r$ ; so the group $G$ is  finite ; so I would like to ask
for any integers $m,n,r$ all greater than $1$ , does there exist an infinite group $G$ (depending on $m,n,r$ may be ) with elements $a,b \in G$ such that $o(a)=m , o(b)=n , o(ab)=r $ ?

A: You can take your finite group $G$ and add $\mathbb Z$ like this: $G\times\mathbb Z$, so it becomes infinite, but still has the desired property as it contains an isomorphic copy of $G$.

TOUR DU POITOU-CHARENTES
RACE PROFILE
22.08.2016 @ 20:44 Posted by Emil Axelgaard
One of the things that characterize the traditional cycling countries is the fact that many of their regions have their own local stage races. As one of cycling's traditional heartlands, France is no exception and one of the biggest regional tours is the four-day Tour du Poitou-Charentes which is held this week. Taking place in a mostly flat part of France, the race has traditionally suited sprinters and time triallists, with the former battling it out in most of the road stages and the latter deciding the GC in the key race against the clock.
Italy, France, Belgium and Spain have traditionally been regarded as cycling's heartlands but the four countries have a different culture. While Italy and Belgium have mostly had one-day races in their country, it is always all about stage racing in Spain. France is a bit of a mix as it has a bit of everything in a very diverse calendar.
Like in Spain, many regions have their own local stage race and unlike in the big country on the Iberian Peninsula, most of them have survived the economic crisis. Most are relatively small 2.2 events on the UCI calendar but some of them stand out with their 2.1 status. Tour del' Ain, Tour du Poitou-Charentes, Tour du Limousin and Tour du Gevaudan are held in the second half of the year, Tour du Haut Var and Tour La Provence are held in February and in May, the Tour de Picardie is on the menu.
Together with the races in Ain and Limousin, Tour du Poitou-Charentes forms a great racing block in August where riders of all kinds can find something to their liking. The climbers come to the fore in the mountainous Ain region while the sprinters and puncheurs excel in the flat terrain in Limousin. Like the latter region, Poitou-Charentes don't have any major climbs and the terrain is even much easier. This means that it is usually sprint festival but with the addition of a key time trial, the race is usually won by one of the big rouleurs.
First held in 1987, Tour du Poitou-Charentes is a relatively new race which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2016. The race became a professional event in 1991 and since the current system was introduced in 2005, it has been a 2.1 event of the UCI Europe Tour. It had some big winners already before it became a pro race as Pavel Tonkov won in 1989 and since then it has been conquered by riders like Kim Andernse, Thierry Marie, Christophe Moreau, Floyd Landis, Jens Voigt, Sylvain Chavanel, Thomas Voeckler and Tony Martin. While it was once dominated by Frenchmen, it has become a rather international affair and last year there was no home rider on the podium.
This year it's no different as the field for the race is very strong. FDJ, Ag2r, Movistar, Sky, LottoNL-Jumbo and Giant-Alpecin will make up the WorldTour teams and so it's one of the strongest fields for a French stage race outside the WorldTour.
As said, Poitou-Charentes is relatively flat and this means that it is a great race for the sprinters who have lots of reasons to travel to France in August. With the Tour du Limousin coming one year earlier, there are lots of bunch sprints in the country during those two weeks in the late summer and that makes it great preparation for the WorldTour classic in Plouay which takes place just two days after the end of the race in Poitou-Charentes. Traditionally it has been a key indicator of form for one of the biggest one-day races in France.
At the same time, it is a great race for time triallists. The race has follows a fixed format with three relatively flat road stages on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and the key day for the GC on Thursday. Here the riders do a flat road stage in the morning while the GC mostly comes down almost exclusively to the afternoon ride against the clock.
However, things were slightly different in 2015. Tony Martin was beaten by both Adriano Malori and Jonathan Castroviejo in the TT but as he made it into a breakaway on one of the earlier stages, he won the race ahead of the Movistar pair. However, he won't be back to defend his title and there will be no Malori who is still recovering from injury, or Castroviejo who is busy at the Vuelta, either.
As said, there is never much change to the course for the Tour du Poitou-Charentes. The first two road stages are usually for the sprinters while the third day offers a flat morning stage and a TT in the afternoon. The hardest stage comes on the final day and the lumpy course in Poitiers has often been tough enough to create differences. However, it is rarely enough to change things after the TT which often decides the GC entirely. This year the course follows the traditional formula.
As said, the first stage I usually for the sprinters and it is unlikely that it will be any different in 2016. The 189.6km between ANngouleme and Puilboreau are pretty flat. There are two small climbs – 1km at 6% and 300m at 8% - in the first half and two climbs – 500m at 4% and 1km at 6% - in the middle section but they won't be much of a challenge. The stage ends with one lap of a flat 24.4km circuit.
With lots of sprinters in attendance, there will be plenty of interest in keeping things together. The wind can always become a danger in these stages but it is unlikely that the first day won't be decided in a big bunch sprint.
The terrain won't be much harder on stage 2 where the peloton will cover 179.8km between La Rochelle and Niort. There are two small climbs – 1km at 4% and 400m at 5% - but the final ascent comes with 56.1km to go. The stage ends with two laps of a flat 22.1km circuit in Niort.
Niort has produced bunch sprints when it was visited in 2014 and 2010 and it is hard to imagine that it will be different in 2016. Again the main danger will be the wind but otherwise there should be enough interest from the sprinters to ensure that we will get another bunch kick.
As usual, the third day is split in two and as always, the sprinters hope to come to the fore in the morning. Stage 3 coves 95.2km between Thure and Chatellerault and has three climbs – 1km at 7%, 1km at 7% and 800m at 6%. The final ascent comes with 39.7km to go and then the stage ends with one lap of a flat 16.7km circuit.
The time triallists hope to get an easy ride and save energy for the afternoon but the sprinters have no reason to hold anything back. Morning stages with afternoon time trials are usually decided by the sprinters and it should be the same this time.
After three stages for the sprinters, it is time for the stage that will probably decide the race. The Thursday afternoon time trial is usually flat and around 20-30km long and that will be the same this time around. This year the riders will cover 23km between Saint Saviour and Chatellerault and they are mainly flat. There aren't many technical challenges either.
With a course with very few undulations and long, straight roads, this is a perfect stage for the big rouleurs. The time triallists will battle it out for the stage wind and probably also the overall win.
Only one stage has traditionally been hard enough to create some small differences. Every year the race finishes on a lumpy circuit in Poitiers and it has often allowed puncheurs and classics riders to deny the sprinters. This year the riders will cover 171.3km between Thouears and Poitiers and they are much hillier than what they have faced until now. There are two small climbs – 800m at 5% and 500m at 6% - inside the first 25km and a 1km climb at 6% at the midpoint. With 40km to go, the riders will tackle a 700m climb at 7% and then they will hit the 13.7km circuit. It includes a 500m wall at 11% which the riders will tackle a total of three times. They will do two full laps of the circuit, tackling the climb for the final time with 2.8km to go.
History shows that this stage can be won from a small group or in a bunch sprint but usually only the strongest of the fast finishers have a chance. Last year Matteo Trentin came out on top and in 2014 Jesus Herrada won a sprint. The Spaniard also won a three-rider sprint in 2013 and Francisco Ventoso was the fastest in 2012. Alex Dowsett took a surprise solo win in 2012 and Jimmy Casper and Heinrich Haussler took breakaway wins in 2011 and 2010 respectively. The stage will be the usual aggressive affair but if a small group makes a difference, it will be hard to gain enough time to cause any major changes in the GC.
The favourites
The Tour du Poitou-Charentes is usually a very predictable affair that is decided almost exclusively by the time trial. Bonus seconds can come into play but as the sprinters always lose too much time in the time trial to be in GC contention, that rarely happens. Time differences can be created on the final stage where some of the heavier guys may get dropped and a small breakaway can gain some seconds. However, the time gaps after a 23km time trial will usually be so big that the final stage is unlikely to change the winner of the race.
What can change the outcome is the wind. This year Tuesday will be the windiest day but in general there won't be much. It is unlikely to be enough to split the field. The main challenge will be the extreme heat as it will be 36 degrees almost every day.
Last year Tony Martin managed to gain enough time on one of the road stages to win the race even though he didn't win the time trial. However, it is unlikely that it will be possible to repeat that in 2016. Arnaud Demare, Bryan Coquard and Nacer Bouhanni are all in attendance and this means that it will be very hard to break the stranglehold of the sprint teams. Hence, we expect it all to come down to the final time trial, with bonus seconds and the final stage having a very small chance to slightly change the outcome.
Movistar have traditionally arrived with their best time triallists. Last year they were close with Malori and Castroviejo and this year they again have the two biggest favourites. Alex Dowsett stands out as the man to beat. The Brit has been a bit inconsistent in his time trialling but this year he has been really good. He was in a class of his own on the flat course at the Tour de Pologne and he was fourth at Tirreno-Adriatico. This flat course is ideal for him and he will be the man to beat in the TT.
Dowsett is not the best climber and he could come under pressure on the final stage. However, Movistar have a strong team here and the Brit has improved his climbing a lot. He may lose some seconds in the fial stage but his gains in the TT should be enough to win the race. Hence, he is our favourite.
The plan B for Movistar will be Nelson Oliveira. The Portuguese has really improved his level massively in 2015 and 2016. This year he was third in the first TT at the Tour and he was seventh at the Olympics. He usually prefers a harder course but he has been good in flat terrain too. His form in Rio was very good so he could very win the TT. Furthermore, he is strong in lumpy terrain so he won't get dropped on the final stage.
LottoNL-Jumbo are here with Wilco Kelderman. The Dutchman may no longer be climbing as well as he once was but he has returned to his best time trialling. Like Oliveira, he would have preferred a harder course but at the Eneco Tour he has proved that he is very good on the flats too. Last year he even beat Dumoulin on a flat course at Nationals. His form is an unknown but last year he was very strong at this time after the Tour.
Primoz Roglic will be the second option for LottoNL-Jumbo. Known as a pure climber, the Slovenian is the TT revelation of 2016. He won the long TT in the Giro and was second in the opening TT. At the Tour de Pologne and in Rio, he proved that the results were no fluke. In the Giro and Poland he has shown that he can do well on flat courses so he should be among the best here.
Sylvain Chavanel has won this race three times but he is no longer as strong as once was. However, he was still close to victory in the TT at Route du Sud and up there in the Belgium Tour prologue. This is the kind of time trial that he really likes, both when it comes to terrain and distance. He is ever fast in a sprint so he may go for some bonus seconds.
Søren Kragh Andersen is a late addition to the start list. The Dane is a big TT talent which he proved with his impressive fourth place on the TT in California. This TT is pretty similar so he should be good here too. He is even the Giant-Alpecin sprinter here so he may pick up some bonus seconds even though it will be difficult in a field loaded with strong sprinters.
Arnaud Demare and Bryan Coquard both did very good TTs in Route du Sud and if they can do so again here, they may be in contention as they can score a lot of bonus seconds. However, this TT is longer and the field is stronger so it will be hard to limit the losses sufficiently in the time trial.
Movistar also have Javier Moreno. The Spaniard was once known as a climber but he has really done some great TTs recently, even on flat courses. However, this one may be a bit too long to suit him ideally.
FDJ have a number of cards to play but Anthony Roux is their best option. He is very inconsistent in his time trialling but he did an excellent TT at Nationals. Furthermore, he showed very good form in San Sebastian so if he has maintained that level, he will be good.
Sep Vanmarcke was up there in last year's race. He has improved his time trialling massively but it will be hard to match the specialists. However, he is very fast and can ride aggressively in the final stage. If he can gain seconds here and there, he may be able to win the race.
Finally, we will point to the Ag2r pair of Patrick Gretsch and Alexis Gougeard. Gretsch is a real specialist but he has not been at his best in recent years. Nonetheless, he tends to produce at least one good TT every year and he has shown good form recently. Gougeard came out of the Tour in great form and is very powerful. He is a good time triallist but it may be hard for him to match the big specialists.

Describe a live sports match that you have watched
November 18, 2021 May 10, 2021 by IELTS Pages
What it was?
When you watched it?
How did you feel about it?
Being a cricket fanatic, I have an uncanny knack for watching cricket matches.
I always find it comfortable to watch a cricket match from the comfort of my home.
However, on one occasion, I specially went to Mumbai to watch a live cricket match.
What it was?, and When you watched it?
It was in the year 2013.
I went to Mumbai to see a cricket match between India and West Indies.
It was the last match of Mr Sachin Tendular, a legendary batsman.
What it was like?
The environment inside the stadium was breathtaking.
The stadium was jampacked.
People from faraway nations like Canada had come to watch Sachin playing for the last time in an international match.
Since I was standing close to the pavilion, I managed to get the autograph of Sachin.
When India won the game, the crowd went berserk.
When Sachin was leaving the grounds, most of the people had wet eyes.
And how you felt about it?
It was an emotionally enriching experience for me.
On the other hand, I was happy that finally, I got a chance to see Sachin playing live in a cricket match.
But, on the other hand, I was sad deep inside because it was his last international cricket game.
That day I learnt, an important lesson, and that nothing is permanent in this world.
Sachin Tendulkar played international cricket for 24 years, and his career ended that day. It shows that good things also come to an end.
Therefore we must accept change in our lives.
The wonderful experience of that match would always remain etched in my memories.
Being an ardent fan of cricket, I watch most cricket matches.
Although I watch most of the matches on television, last year I watched a live international cricket match.
I watched it at the newly built international cricket stadium near my hometown.
The constant roars from the crowd made the match more interesting.
In the middle of the game, I met friends from my college.
I joined their group, and we all had guffaws of laughter.
Since it was a day and night match, the 2nd innings was played under floodlights.
During that time, the whole crowd went berserk.
For me, it was a dream come true
It was an out of the world experience for me.
For the first few minutes, I couldn't believe my eyes.
My favourite sports stars like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and David Warner were playing right in front of me.
That day I realized that the best place to watch a cricket match is the cricket stadium.
When we watch it on the television, we do not get the right feel.
Whereas at the stadium, you feel as if you are a team member and you are helping your team by cheering up for the players.
The day became special because, after many struggles, Team India won the match
Immediately after the game was over, I managed to go close to Virat Kohli.
I had asked for his autograph, and he humbly accepted my request.
Being a football player, I do not get enough chances to watch a live match as an audience.
Because most of the times, I have to participate as a player
However, recently due to an unforeseen contingency, I got an opportunity to watch a live football match
Last month, there was a match between our college and St. Stephen's college football team.
I was a part of my college team and eagerly waiting to participate in that match.
However, just before the match, I met with an accident.
I didn't get many injuries, but I had swelling on my right foot.
After a discussion with my coach, I decided not to play the match.
However, I stayed at the stadium to watch the match and cheer for my team.
Since, the game was between two of the best teams in our city, there was a huge crowd at the stadium.
After the first half, I had gone to my team's dressing room and advised my team.
My team was lagging by one goal at the starting of the second half.
Nevertheless, we won the match.
Upon winning, the captain told me that my advice had helped them to score three goals
Initially, I was upset for not being a part of the team.
But as the match had progressed, I started enjoying it.
Moreover, I realized that we can learn about the game not only by playing it but also by watching it.
The quality time I had during the match would always remain etched in my memories.
There is no denying this conviction that sports play a vital role in people's life. Due to this reason, a rising number of individuals play various games in this contemporary epoch. People these days prefer both indoor and outdoor sports. Although playing a sport is the ultimate fun, watching a live sports match works like a charm.
Being a sports enthusiast, I find extreme pleasure in playing sports. I am a big fan of soccer, and my favourite player is Ronaldo. I have this habit of watching every match played by him on Tv.
What it was? and When you watched it?
However, I would like to talk about a soccer match arranged last year by the local authorities to motivate more young adults to participate. In reality, I was a key member of the team, yet I did not take part in that match because of an injury.
The injury forced me not to play that match. However, I had a close look at it while sitting in the stadium.
Initially, I had apprehensions about whether I would enjoy the game or not. But as the match had progressed, I started enjoying it. Till the end of the match the situation kept on changing and the audience remained too much engrossed in the game. People were screaming to buck up the players. In the match, both teams played with determination, dedication and discipline. Finally, our team won the game by one goal.
For me, it was an enticing experience to see both the team players showing sportsman spirit by hugging each other to exhibit their optimistic attitude. Finally, during the prize distribution ceremony, the best performers the players who performed well were given trophies.
All in all, it was a different kind of experience for me.
IELTS Speaking Part 3: Follow up Questions
Here are some examples of follow up questions that the examiner might ask during your speaking part 3 related to cue card "Describe a live sports match that you have watched".
1. Do you prefer to watch live sports or watch them on TV?
Being a sports enthusiast, I love to watch live sports. However, due to a shortage of time, I have to watch it on television. Although there are many advantages of watching a sports match on television, it cannot beat the fun and excitement generated in a stadium.
2. Why do some people like to watch live sports?
The main reason is the environment inside the stadium or playground. There is no denying this conviction that sports matches shown on television these days are beautifully picturised, yet they cannot match the excitement shown in a live match. When you are in the middle of the crowd in a stadium, you feel like an integral part of the playing squad.
3. What kind of sports do Indian people like to watch?
In the past decades, most Indians used to watch live cricket matches. There was a relatively small audience for other sports. However, nowadays, Indian people show interest in the live telecast of all kinds of sports like hockey, football, tennis, basketball and so on. And due to this massive change, many sports which were on the verge of extinction have revived. Kabaddi is the prime example of this, due to a league of Kabaddi it is back in focus.
4. Do you think competition is good for students?
Yes, competition is worthwhile for students because it brings the best out of them. When they compete, they plan and execute. Sometimes they have to adopt new strategies and techniques to beat the opponent. The biggest benefit they get is that they learn how to work with determination, dedication and discipline. Therefore, healthy competition brings a paradigm shift in the lives of children.

Investigation Opened After Chicago Police Officer Yelled Homophobic Slur at Protester
Published June 6, 2020 • Updated on June 6, 2020 at 4:35 pm
The Chicago agency dedicated to providing civilian police oversight has recommended that an officer seen on video using a homophobic slur against a protester should have his police powers suspended or modified during an investigation into the incident.
According to a statement issued Saturday, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability made the recommendation to Police Supt. David Brown this week, asking him to "identify and modify the duty status, or temporarily police power" from the officer seen in the video, which was published by multiple outlets this week after protests late last month.
COPA Media Statement on Officer Using Homophobic Slur. pic.twitter.com/cFffMaUuhY
— COPA (@ChicagoCOPA) June 6, 2020
"COPA makes this recommendation while it further works to identify the officer and assess the events and circumstances surrounding this active investigation," the office said in a statement.
Later Saturday, the Chicago Police Department issued a statement of its own, saying homophobic slurs are "inexcusable, and has no place in the Department."
"We do not tolerate this kind of behavior, which is why we have opened an investigation into this incident and will take appropriate disciplinary action immediately as we work to identify the officer involved," the department said in its statement.
Anyone with complaints about mistreatment at the hands of an officer can call 311 and file the complaint with COPA, according to officials.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said that misconduct by officers will not be tolerated, and encouraged residents to report such abuses to 311.
"Police misconduct, from harming residents to covering badges to using homophobic language, will not be tolerated," she said.
The video, posted to Facebook, showed a police officer walking away from a group of protesters when a traffic cone was thrown at him. The video then shows the officer turning around and yelling a homophobic slur at the group.

3 Ways Companies Use Real-Time Insight To Accelerate Growth
Forbes recently published an article titled "16 Marketing Predictions For 2016 from the C-Suite", and unsurprisingly prediction #3 related to real-time.
Real-time analytics, real-time marketing, real-time insights, and other variations of the term have been gaining momentum and popularity as industries adjust to fit the needs of always-on consumers. Forbes recently published an article titled "16 Marketing Predictions For 2016 from the C-Suite", and unsurprisingly prediction #3 related to real-time.
Brian Kardon, CMO of Thinking Phones, predicts, "Real-Time Marketing Analytics will Unite Online and Offline Behavior for Richer Lead Scoring and Nurturing in 2016." And if trends continue on as they have Kardon's prediction should prove to be very accurate.
The beauty of real-time is that it can be implemented in so many different ways to achieve different results. At its basis it involves fluid, adaptable techniques that change with trends, customer preferences, customer intent, and more. While there are endless applications, three of the most common ways we're seeing real-time practices implemented are in social media, purchase journey consideration, and geolocation.
1. Real-Time Conversations On Social Media
Social Media may be the most obvious of real-time's applications, because part of its allure is a brand's ability to directly interact with consumers at any moment in time. By utilizing real-time insights brands are able to peak into real conversations that their customers are having about their products and services, and the most appealing part, they're able to speak back.
Real-time insights in social media are used to monitor consumer attitudes, address complaints to repair damaged brand reputation, and find in-market consumers. The constant status updates by many consumers can take the guessing out of prospecting when individuals are literally saying to anyone and everyone, "I need the type of service you offer." When it comes to maintaining brand image and finding in-market prospects, real-time and social media is a match made in heaven.
2. Real-Time Insights For Right-Time Messages
Real-time doesn't necessarily mean immediate. While it can be used to address consumers as soon as they ask a question or make a complaint, as in social media, it can also be used to monitor a consumer's location in the purchase journey and make a data-driven decision on when, what kind of, and how a message should be deployed.
Real-time insights can shed light on whether or not a prospect is ready for a hard sell or a soft nudge, as well as whether to send a message via email or to make a phone call. Real-time can have predictive qualities when companies are able to pin-point consumer actions that indicate an impending need. For instance, a consumer who leaves evidence of consistent research on repairing mechanical problems in an older vehicle has the propensity to purchase a new car soon. An individual consistently researching the best colleges in the state may soon be in-market for a student loan.
By finding patterns in purchasing behavior among model consumers and applying real-time triggers, companies can get the upper hand on their competition by knowing what a consumer's probable next step may be.
3. Real-Time Insights From Geolocation
Research shows that 74% of adult smartphone users use their phones for directions or other information based on current location, and 30% of social media users set at least one of their social sites to include location in their posts. The reality is we're in the age of the "check-in" which can be real-time insight gold for companies.
Using geolocation prompters when users download a retailer's app for their cellphone allows companies to obtain permission to send relevant messages to consumers when they are at or near a company's location or sometimes even at a competitor's location. As the practice becomes more common place most consumers readily accept and even expect offers specialized to their location.
Real-time insight, in its various uses and formats, when used correctly can help marketers to make data-driven decisions to accelerate growth, find new customers, and retain current high value customers. If things continue to pan out as they have, by 2020 it will no longer be an option but instead a required tool in every marketer's kit.

Mosman Club was opened in June 1975 after the Club purchased the historic Mosman Kinema Theatre and developed it into the Club. Over the past 40 years the Club has undergone several changes and improvements, with more upgrades planned soon.
We pride ourselves on being an epicentre for the Mosman community by catering to vastly different interests, supporting local charities and community sporting clubs, providing quality meals and beverages, providing an array of exciting promotions and weekly entertainment. Check out our "What's On" page for more information.
On 8 September 1918, the Mosman Sub-Branch received its Charter from the Returned and Services League of Australia (New South Wales Branch).
Mosman Sub-Branch is one of only two on the North Shore, one of only a few in the whole State, designated Foundation Members. The other on the North Shore being Chatswood..
When the New South Wales Branch received its Charter on 25 April 1917, there was already a Returned Soldiers Association active in the Mosman area. Meetings then were in a variety of halls and school halls, private homes, or even in the open air. Its function was mainly social, initially. This later evolved into a more practical purpose, when it adopted a system of welfare support for ex-servicemen.
The Sub Branch was originally located in a shed at the corner of Beach Lane and Military Road. In 1918 public subscriptions raised 6,000 pounds of the 15,000 pounds required for the construction of the Anzac Memorial Hall, the balance was loaned by the Commonwealth Bank. Some of the raised monies, funded the Cenotaph which was unveiled in 1925. The President, Lt Col John Phipps and Lord Forster, the Governor General at the time, laid the Foundation Stone for the Anzac Memorial Hall that housed the Sub Branch on 23 April 1921.
The Hall opened 3 years later on 5 May 1924. The Mosman RSL was located upstairs and the Kings Theatre downstairs seating 540. The Kings Theatre was renamed "Rex" Theatres in 1937.
In 1929, Council considered demolishing the Town Hall and purchasing the Anzac Memorial Hall including its debt of 7,500 pounds. There were many initial difficulties with the Hall and its Trustees including deaths of Trustees. But an energetic committee elected in 1933 allowed the debt to be paid off on 11 November 1944.
The Club received its Liquor and Club Licence on 7 April 1947. Mosman Returned Servicemen's Club was incorporated in 1967, with the first Annual General Meeting held that year. The Hall continued to entertain Veterans from World War 2, Korea, Vietnam, also their families, friends and residents of Mosman, well into the 70's, until changing times and needs led to the establishment of the present Returned Servicemen's Club.
This present site was the Kinema Theatre built in 1915. It suffered a major fire in 1921, was rebuilt and eventually closed in 1963. It was purchased by the Club in 1968, and wasn't demolished for a further 4 years then finally opened in 1975. The top floor was built in 1989. The Club remains a vital pillar of the community and supports many local charities and organisations.
All persons on the Club's premises must comply with the Club's Dress Standard as displayed at the Club's premises from time to time.
Management shall determine whether a person's clothing complies with the Club's Dress Standards.
Management may refuse admission to or turn out any person who does not comply with the Club's Dress Standards.
The following clothing must not be worn on the Club's premises, unless approved by Management.
Other inappropriate dress as deemed by management.
Patrons are NOT permitted to bring food and beverages into the club unless prior arrangement has been made with Management. Bringing alcohol into the premises is strictly forbidden.
The privacy of patrons is important. The use of all types of cameras is NOT allowed in any gaming area of the Club, or where other patrons may be included without their permission.
Management reserves the right to make the final decision at its discretion for all policies.
GRANTS FROM MOSMAN CLUB ARE AVAILABLE NOW.
Last year in NSW, registered clubs like ours made a social contribution of over $100 million to deserving causes provided through the ClubsGRANTS program. Mosman Club contributed $63,535 through ClubGRANTS to local charities, community organisations and sporting groups.

This property owner in Weybridge recently had a new fridge delivered by a well-known electrical retailer that has an unusual policy of not protecting its customers' floors when installing heavy appliances. Predictably, the lack of care and consideration resulted in multiple unsightly scratches being left on the fantastic Slate tiled floor, mostly notably in front of the dishwasher, which was also newly installed.
Understandably, the property owner was not best pleased. He was keen to have the situation remedied as soon as possible. At Tile Doctor, we not only provide tile cleaning services but we also have the experience and equipment to hand all sorts of related issues including the restoration of scratched tiles. Happy to help. I travelled over to Weybridge to address the problem.
The surface of the stone was damaged and the only way to repair it without the repair standing out was to strip and polish the whole floor. I therefore began the restoration by stripping the whole floor of its old sealer. The customer had marked all the deep scratches he wanted to have removed with sticky notes. I explained to him that burnishing, a type of polishing carried out using diamond encrusted handheld blocks in combination with a little water, would be perfect for this job.
The process of burnishing essentially grinds away the damaged layer and then re-polishes the stone, the process would remove the scratches and rebuild the shine. It involves the application of different grades of pads from coarse to extra fine and a little water to lubricate the process followed by a rinse with more water in-between each pad to remove the slurry generated by the process. After burnishing the floor is left polished but damp, however to save time I able to speed dry the whole floor using a powerful industrial air mover.
Once the floor was dry the final task was to re-seal the tiles. I did this using a couple of coats of Tile Doctor Colour Grow, a colour intensifying, impregnating sealer which soaks into the pores of the stone protecting it from within against ingrained dirt and stains for many years to come.
