The Under 16s at my club were playing in the semi-final of the cup last week so I went along to give my support as I coach most of the players involved at this age group.
Before the game I spoke to the manager and asked him if he had prepped the boys on a penalty shoot-out should they need one. He was quite dismissive of the need to practice – even for his goalkeeper.
It was a fantastic game with lots of chances for both teams but needless to say the game ended in a 1-1 draw and the match went to penalties.
Like it or not, penalty kicks are the ultimate dead ball 1v1 showdown, so give your team the best chance of winning by coaching the player who has most influence – the keeper!
Interestingly enough I was fresh from a mini tournament which my Under 10s won on penalties… on this occasion it was the opposition who hadn't prepared well enough while we had done some work for this eventuality.
My goalkeeper saved two of their efforts, and another missed the goal completely. We, on the other hand, hit the target every time and their keeper only got in the way of one shot. I could tell my players were thrilled by the way we had won.
But even before the first kick was taken, I knew we had an advantage. In training, I had spent time with my shot-stopper, going through different penalty scenarios. I stood next to him in the goal and, as each player approached, got him to say which way he thought he should dive.
He didn't have to save the penalty, rather just shout out where the ball would go. Because I was standing beside my goalkeeper when this was happening, I could see the way players were approaching the ball. The first five shots he guessed wrong, so I shouted out the next five, getting three correct.
He was impressed, but I pointed out it was made slightly easier if he knew what to look out for. I told him the theory behind "reading" penalties. Sure enough, the next time he guessed correctly twice, then three times. There are five top tips for keepers who want to read which way a shot will go. The secret is in the fact that it's difficult for young penalty takers to disguise the direction of the ball because they concentrate so hard on hitting the target.
5 tips for a penalty shoot-out
- Tell your keeper to watch the penalty taker's eyes and body shape. Before young players shoot they often look at the corner to which they are going to direct the ball.
- Keepers must also measure the player's approach. A very wide approach often indicates the shooter is going towards the opposite corner. A straight-on approach gives fewer clues.
- Get your players to look out for the standing foot too. The ball often goes where the standing foot points.
- And then we have the hips. The ball always heads to where the hips point. A side-foot shot will require the hips to open up in the direction the ball is going.
- Even the head gives clues. If junior penalty takers drop their heads low and have a big backswing, expect a cross-body shot. If the head stays up, the player is probably going for the opposite corner.

I recently started wearing this fabulous pewter dragon bracelet as part of a spell I launched. I very much wanted the energies of the dragon as part of my magic spell, so the bracelet was a perfect match.
I have received a lot of comments on the dragon bracelet, especially since we are in Cancun, Mexico for five weeks and this is not the usual "tourist-type" jewelry.
Several people have asked me why I wear the bracelet and how I use it for my magic practice. This fascinates most people endlessly, and they are eager to get their own version from our online store as soon as they get home to the States.
I'm delighted that others are as fascinated with the bracelet as I am, and while I definitely want them to enjoy the same kind of dragon magic I'm getting from the bracelet, I warn them that just having the bracelet isn't enough. The bracelet, like any magical tool, has to be "keyed" to a person's unique energies so that it works for them. Otherwise, it's just a bracelet.
How to Key General Magic Tools
There are specific ways to key the tools for each of the four elements (Air, Fire, Water, and Earth), but if you want to use a general magic tool, like my bracelet, there is a very simple way to "key" it so that it works with your personal and unique energies. Here's how:
1. Put the object in your dominant hand (usually the hand with which you point or write)
2. Hold the object and flow energy into it. If you want to use the tool for a specific purpose, flow images or thoughts about that purpose through your hand as well. I sometimes also chant a spell verse while doing this.
3. Continue with this process until the magic tool feels "charged," warm, or tingly. At that point, your magic tool has been keyed to your specific energy, and will work for you personally.
This generally works well for any general magic tool. For the specific tools associated with the magical elements, including the Firebowl, Wand, Athame, Chalice, and Plate, there are more detailed keying instructions since these tools are designed to handle much more magical energy. These tools can also be used many ways for different magic rituals and operations, especially spell work, banishments, blessings, and cleansings.
To learn more about how to key and use these tools, check out our ebooks on each tool in our online store.

Identity Theft: Who Took The "Security" Out Of Social Security Numbers?
More Identity Theft Headlines Pertaining To Social Security Numbers
It seems that nearly every month there is a new headline regarding some breach involving social security numbers. Recently, an unfortunate situation in California made headlines. It appears that social security numbers of an incredibly large number of California residents were made available through the Secretary of State's website. Why is this such a big deal and how did it happen?
The Holy Grail of Identity Theft Scumbags
Social security numbers are vital pieces of information to identity theft criminals, and those individuals whose social security numbers appeared online are at risk for identity theft now and in the upcoming years.
Experiencing identity theft is no walk in the park. The time investment that one would need to spend correcting the problem is essentially a fulltime job. The theft of your social security number is a paramount concern because you only have one social security number throughout your entire life. It is not a like a phone number that you could change to maintain privacy.
In California, the social security numbers made available were done so through Uniform Commercial Code filings, which were filed by lenders securing loans. Unfortunately, this breach will potentially affect millions of Californians.
What to Do
If you are a California resident and think you might have been affected by this breach of confidentiality, you should check with the Secretary of State's office.
Keep in mind that if someone gets a hold of your social security number, that person doesn't always immediately use it. Even if identity theft doesn't happen right away, it doesn't mean it won't happen later.
Even if you don't live in California or even on the West Coast, your risk of identity theft is still there regardless of whether or not your social security number has ever been posted inadvertently on the internet.
Every state government has your social security number on file. They are supposed to maintain that database in a secure manner so as not to promote identity theft. That doesn't mean everything is managed the way it should be.

Get to Know a Baseball Wife: Introducing Jordana Lenz
Baseball "wife" Jordana Lenz
Vh1's latest reality endeavor, Baseball Wives, is based in (where else?) spring training hotspot Scottsdale. The show features Anna Benson, Erika Monroe Williams, Chantel Kendall, Tanya Grace, Brooke Villone, and Jordana Lenz.
The vaguely sporty premise? Six women with romantic ties to pro baseballers pick fights, form catty alliances, throw ridiculous parties, and are socially bound together by the covenant of reality programming whether that they like each other or not. (Our bets are on option number two.)
Each woman has a story, and we're dishing the juicy deets.
Ahoy, lady.
Name: Jordana Lenz
Reputation: The golddigger-party girl. Bartender Jordana is the youngest of the bunch, looks like she was plucked straight from an ASU sorority, and, hilariously enough, she is not nor has ever been a baseball wife. Jordana falls into the category of baseball ex-girlfriend, although she's rumored to be playing the field.
Baseball Husband: Lenz used to date Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Nyjer Morgan, and, based on an incident on the show in which she spotted him at a hotel and proceeded to freak out, girl is not over it.
Quotable quips: "There's no difference between me and them, besides a diamond ring on my finger."
Claim(s) to Fame: Lenz is really riding this I-used-to-date-a-baseball-player train until the damn thing runs off the tracks. We really aren't sure how it hasn't already.
Where's the beef?: In the past few eps, Jordana, feeling snubbed by her castmates (particualar backstabby Brooke and snobby Erika), has allied herself with Anna Benson (who we got to know last week). 'Cause she's the only one who'll have her.

The Edmonton Journal is reporting that small and medium-sized businesses in Alberta expect to boost 2017 spending at a faster rate than anywhere else in Canada, a new survey shows.
Firms in the province with fewer than 500 employees say they'll raise investment by 17.1 per cent this year, compared to the 1.6 per cent national average increase, according to a report released Monday by the Business Development Bank of Canada.
That's a huge change from 2016, when Alberta companies were the most pessimistic in Canada and planned to slash spending by 27 per cent.
"Fifty per cent of them believe their revenue is going to increase this year, compared to 33 per cent last year. I think it's a sign they see the economy is about to turn around," said the bank's chief economist, Pierre Cleroux. If you wish to read more of Edmonton Journal's article please click HERE.

Infrastructure in India: The economics of transition from public to private provision
Indian infrastructure is in a state of flux. The provisioning of infrastructure services in India is steadily moving away from the realm of government to that of private sector. The critical issue has been getting economic structures right; in those sectors where there has been a recognition (and systemic implementation) of the principles of appropriate market structures, competition, and measured regulatory oversight, development has been rapid. The outcomes have varied by sector, with Indian telecom providing services that are globally cost-effective and electricity remaining a nightmare for consumers and a major bottleneck for India's continuing growth. While a few ports have significantly increased their efficiency, the ports sector overall remains behind international benchmarks. The initial remarkable spurt in the National Highways Development Project enabled (and probably to an extent, fuelled) growth, and brought in some of India's most innovative policy responses, but there has been a slowdown in momentum in expanding the programme. In recent years, there has simply not been the requisite (political) commitment to ownership of the innovation and motivation that is needed to sustain the pace of reform in key infrastructure sectors.

Occupied: Headlines From Palestine
HEBRON, January 20, 2015 (WAFA) – Israeli army Tuesday demolished two homes, a store, and an animal barn in the village of Khallat al-Mai, south of Hebron, according to local sources.
Mohammad Mehesen, coordinator of the People's Anti-Settlement Committee, told WAFA an Israeli army force accompanied by military vehicles broke into the village and proceeded to demolish the two houses and other structures, which are the property of local residents.
The two houses shelter 14 members from the Rab'i clan, whereas the animal structure is used for livestock husbandry.
Owners of the two houses, Hussein and Hassan Rab'i, both brothers, were not allowed to evacuate the furniture of their homes when the Israeli military arrived, local sources told WAFA.
Soldiers also assaulted and beat up a number of local residents in the village, hitting them with the butts of their rifles.

Pearson buys language firm in Brazil
British publisher Pearson, owner of the Financial Times newspaper, said on Tuesday that it has agreed to buy Grupo Multi, a leading adult English language training firm in Brazil.
The company said in a statement that it will pay £440 million ($721 million, 532 million euros) in cash to acquire Grupo Multi from the Martins family and investment firm Kinea. Pearson will also take on £65 million of debt.
Grupo Multi is Brazil's biggest provider of private language schools, and serves over 800,000 students across more than 2,600 franchised schools. It primarily delivers English language courses.
"The acquisition supports Pearson's strategy of focusing investment in fast-growing economies, digital and services business," Pearson added in the statement.
"A shortage of English speakers in key sectors including tourism, transportation, and hospitality is considered to be one of Brazil's challenges as it prepares to host high-profile global events including the World Cup and the Olympics."

New Sensor Allows Naked Eye to See Early Detection Test Results for Diseases
Tiffany Kaiser

(Source: msn.com)
It has proved effective with prostate cancer and HIV biomarkers
A new sensor not only provides early stage test results for diseases accurately, but these results can also be seen by the naked eye.
Researchers from Imperial College London, led by Professor Molly Stevens and Dr. Roberto de la Rica, have created a sensitive sensor that can offer visible test results for early stage diseases like prostate cancer and HIV.
The sensor does this by
measuring biomarkers
. It analyzes serum from blood in a container and looks for biomarkers like Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) for prostate cancer or p24 for HIV. If a result is positive, irregular clumps of nanoparticles are formed and create a blue color in the solution within the container. If the result is negative, the nanoparticles separate into balls and give off a red color in the solution. Both colors can be seen by the naked eye.
"We have developed a test that we hope will enable previously undetectable
HIV infections
and indicators of cancer to be picked up, which would mean people could be treated sooner," said de la Rica. "We also believe that this test could be significantly cheaper to administer, which could pave the way for more widespread use of HIV testing in poorer parts of the world."
But that's not all. The sensor can detect positive results in those with "low viral loads," meaning an earlier diagnosis (hence, earlier treatment) than traditional tests like the Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test.
The test can be altered to
detect other diseases
as well, but more research and testing is needed in order to get the sensor to low-income countries.
