Drug ~ Opium Addiction

Be careful with things that are known to be addictive... be it Drugs, Drinking, Gambling, Smoking or anything else that causes addiction. You'll become a slave to it as it takes over (and rule) your life. Read how the British got a quarter of the male Chinese population addicted to Opium to boost the demand for it so as make money. Currently, there are people out there who are making lots of money from people who are addicted to Drinking, Gambling &/or Smoking.

After 1860, opium use continued to increase with widespread domestic production in China, until more than a quarter of the male population were regular consumers by 1905. China sought to restrict illegal British opium trafficking. It consisted of the First Opium War from 1839 to 1842 and the Second Opium War from 1856 to 1860.

Opium Wars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Opium Wars (simplified Chinese: 鸦片战争; traditional Chinese: 鴉片戰爭; pinyin: Yāpiàn Zhànzhēng), also known as the Anglo-Chinese Wars, were the climax of trade disputes and diplomatic difficulties between China under the Qing Dynasty and the British Empire after China sought to restrict illegal British opium trafficking. It consisted of the First Opium War from 1839 to 1842[1] and the Second Opium War from 1856 to 1860.[2]

Soccer Penalty ~ Furthest Point from the Goalkeeper

I use to visit the library a lot and borrow books to help me past time. I came across this book by Pele on how to take a good penalty kick. I can't remember the details but I did remember this... you have the best chance for scoring if you place the ball at the furthest point from the Goalkeeper. This furthest point will be at the 'High-Corner' (which is where the Cross-Bar meets the Left or Right Post). To reach this 'High-Corner', the Goalkeeper will have to jump & stretch at his maximum.... on top of deciding if the ball will go Left or Right.

Furthest Point from the Goalkeeper

There is this danger of NOT being accurate... so practice, practice, practice...
