Germany Beats Uruguay 3-2
Germany Beats Uruguay 3-2 to Claim 3rd Position
By Joseph Ezie Efoghor
The German soccer machines Saturday night defeated Uruguay by 3-2 to claim the 3rd position in the ongoing FIFA soccer world cup in a match that was keenly contested. The two sides gave a good account of themselves, and at least gave their teeming supporters something to cheer about.
The first yellow card of the night went to Dennis Aogo for his rough play in the 5th minute. The second yellow card went to Cacau almost immediately in the 6th minute for handling the ball.
The Germans got their first and second corner kicks in the 9th and 10th minutes respectively, but they were poorly utilized. But in the 19th minute, Sweinsteigger unleashed a hot shot from outside the yard box and the goal keeper parried it; but before he could recover, the ball was tucked into the net by Thomas Muller, for Germany's first goal.
Uruguay equalized through a pass provided by Suarez and was neatly placed beyond the reach of the goal keeper by Edinson Cavani in the 28th minute.
Uruguay got a corner kick in the 34th minute, but was not converted. In the 42nd minute, Suarez was left with the goal keeper alone, but he blew away the opportunity that should have put his side ahead, in such an unpardonable manner.
In the 43rd minute Lugano handled the ball and got a yellow card. The Germans had another corner kick in the 44th minute but it didn't alter the result of the game in any way. In the 45th minute, the South Americans had yet another corner kick, which fell on top of the roof of the net.
In the 48th minute, Suarez had another ample opportunity to put his side ahead but he was denied the opportunity by the keeper. In the 51st minute, Diego Forlan scored the second goal through a fantastic kick that left the goal keeper confused.
Five minutes later (in the 56th minute), Boateng's cross was nodded in by Marcell Jansen for an equalizer. The match became more explosive as both sides tried to wrap up victory. There were attacks and counter attacks from both sides, leaving the fans gaping with delight.
Oezil Mesut was dispossessed of the ball in the 6 yard box in the 58th minute, in what would have made it goal number 3 for his side. In the 61st minute, Diego Perez was issued a yellow card for his foul play against Sweinsteigger.
In the 62nd minute, Suarez got an opportunity that would have made it the third goal for the South Americans, but his shot was parried by the goal keeper. And in the 65th minute, Diego Forlan shot unto the body of the goal keeper.
Cacau collected a cross from Thomas Muller in the 71st minute, but his shot went over the bar. In the 74th minute, Cacau was replaced by Stefan Kiebling. He had his first feel of the ball in the 76th minute, but his shot was parried by the Uruguayan goal keeper.
Walter Gagano replaced Diego Perez in the 77th minute. In the 82nd minute however, Germany scored her winning goal through Khedira Sami, who nodded in the ball after a goal mouth scramble, following a corner kick.
In the 87th minute, Boateng's shot was again caught by the goal keeper. Edinson Cavani got replaced with Sebastian Abreu in the 88th minute and Oezil Mesut also got replaced with Serda Tasci on the dot of 90 minutes.
Arne Freidrich got a yellow card for a foul play in the 2nd minute of added time, and the resultant free kick was taken by Diego Forlan; but the ball hit the cross bar in what would have been a great miracle. The match ended with that last minute attempt, leaving the Germans as the eventual winners of the match. The final match between Spain and The Netherlands comes up on Sunday 11th July 2010.

Are "Primitive" Parts Of The World An Expression Of What Is Held Inside The Collective Unconscious?
Are "Primitive" Parts Of The World An Expression Of What Is Held Inside The Collective Unconscious?
By Oliver JR Cooper
If someone was to think about different parts of the world, they might think about how there are certain places that are "civilised" and certain places that are "uncivilised". When it comes to the countries that are, over the years, some of these countries have tried to change the countries that aren't.
One way this has taken place is by invading a country and then trying to turn it into a democracy. The western way of life is then forced onto a country, one with a culture that is likely to be very different, and this has largely been a disaster.
The Mouthpiece
The mainstream media is likely to play a big part in how the average person will view a country like this and what they believe needs to be done. This source of information, a source that likes to portray itself as simply being there to inform the public, can paint a country like this as being "primitive", for instance.
As for the people who are causing chaos there, they can be seen as being the living embodiment of evil. Once this view has been laid down in someone's mind, they could believe that their country, along with other countries, needs to send in their military.
A Big Difference
Compared with where they live, although their country is likely to have plenty of its own problems, it will be as though this country exists on another planet. That's how different it will appear to be to where they live.
With this in mind, the best thing will be for their country, and other countries, to do what is necessary to "civilize" this country. Unless this takes place, then, it won't be possible for this country to change.
One Option
They, along with their fellow "civilised" citizens in their country and in other countries, won't be able to do a great deal about what is going on there. It will be down to the government and the military, among other organisations, to sort the country out.
If they are deeply concerned about what is going on in this country and want to play their part, they may be able to donate money or sign a petition, but that's about it. That is unless, of course, they are in a position of influence and are able to directly influence what is going on.
Another Angle
What if, however, it is not this black and white, and what appears to be taking place in a country like this is partly a reflection of what a large part of those in "civilised" countries have lost touch with? Upon hearing this, someone could wonder how they, along with their fellow civilised citizens, could have anything to do with what is going on.
And, after reflecting on their own behaviour, how they typically feel and the thoughts that they have, they could believe that there is no part of them that is anything like the "evil" that is found in an uncivilised country. As far as they are concerned, they, along with their fellow civilised citizens, will have absolutely no connection to what is taking place somewhere else.
Going Deeper
To understand how what appears to be taking place in a country like this could be a reflection of what a large part of those in "civilised" countries have lost touch with, it will be necessary to acknowledge that someone has both a conscious and an unconscious mind. When it comes to their conscious mind, this part of them will hold their "negative" feelings and thoughts and the parts of themselves that they have rejected, among other things.
Therefore, one can then have a lot of positivity in their conscious mind but have a lot of negativity in their unconscious mind. In other words, they can be very civilised on one level and very uncivilised on another level.
Hidden Away
So, the feelings, thoughts and parts of themselves that are seen as being uncivilised can be pushed out of their awareness and held in a part of them that they are not aware of. Their ego-mind, with its numerous defences, will do what it can to stop them from becoming aware of this inner material.
Now, not only will this "negative" inner material be held in their own unconscious mind, it will also be part of the collective unconscious. This, something that can be seen as an invisible field of information, will contain all of the "negative" inner material that they and their fellow citizens have disowned.
Unconscious Co-creation
What is held in their unconscious mind will have an effect on what takes place in their own life and what they unconsciously feed into the collective unconscious will have an effect on what takes place on the planet as a whole. This can be seen as to why someone will be exposed to uncivilised behaviour in their own country and why they will see this behaviour in other countries.
Yet, if someone is identified with their ego-mind, the part of them that creates the impression that they are separate from everyone and everything, they will see themselves as being a passive observer of what is taking place externally. Plus, as they will be estranged from their own "darkness", even if they were aware of the effect that their inner world has on their outer world, they wouldn't be able to see how they are playing a part.
The Mirror
If someone sees the world through the lens of their ego-mind, there will be no reason for them to consider, let alone accept, that they are having an effect on what is taking place in their own life and what is taking place on this planet. What is going on "out there" will be the problem and they will just be passively observing what a going on.
It will be up to others, those who are "powerful", to resolve the challenges on this planet. The "negative" inner material that is held in their own consciousness and is feeding into the collective consciousness will continue to shape their own experience and what is experienced on the planet as a whole.
Final Thoughts
What this illustrates is that regardless of whether someone wants to co-create their own experience or to play a part in what takes place on the planet as a whole, they are doing so. The key will be for them to go from being an unconscious creator to being a conscious creator.
To change their life and to no longer feed into the "darkness" that has been materialised, it will be essential for them to face and to work through their own "darkness." This is a process and not something that will take place overnight.

Benefits Of Disposable Vapes
Benefits Of Disposable Vapes
By Shalini M
Vape is a device that allows you to inhale wet and dry ingredients without burning them, essentially nicotine and some flavorings. Vapes come in different shapes and sizes. The users have their preferences for an ideal vape. Ease-of-use and portability are the two main things that a user would look into, and there is a wide range of options available based on the user's preference. A normal vape pen is a rechargeable battery-powered device that is used for heating the vape tank. We have to fill the cartridge and recharge the batteries manually.
Disposable Vapes
A disposable vape pen reduces the hassle of changing cartridges and recharging batteries. It is pre-charged and has a pre-filled e-liquid liquid cartridge. So there is no need to change the cartridge and it is very convenient for travel. Disposable vapes are growing at a rapid rate as it is a compact and convenient replacement.
A few benefits of the disposable vape are as follows:

It is just thrown away after use. The size of these disposable vapes is also small and convenient. You have to pick the device and go.
Cost-efficient: The sales of disposables have spiked up because of this main reason. The price is just about affordable for any person. Even for an impulsive buyer, it is cost-efficient and a good choice. This doesn't compromise with the quality, though. So, the users can get a high-quality vaping experience at a low cost.
Use of salt-based nicotine: The e-liquids used in the disposables are made with salt-based nicotine. Salt-based nicotine is stronger than traditional nicotine yet, it is smooth and doesn't give a harsh sensation in the throat while taking a puff. Users will enjoy this vaping style.
Environment-friendly: One of the major advantages of the disposables are it comes with a leakproof technology. This feature is beneficial to the user and the environment. The anti-leak feature ensures that the vape juice stays in the cartridge. It also offers a clean burn and efficient energy use. Therefore, it results in less wastage and lowers costs making it environment-friendly.
Variety of flavors: Some people would prefer a variety of extraordinary flavors while vaping, and certainly disposable vapes wouldn't leave the user disappointed because it comes in a range of different flavors from fruits to almost every tasty flavor available around the globe.

Small and compact: Disposables are compact. It is slim, which makes the portability a lot easier. They aren't just slim but small in size overall.

Benefits of Fitbit Bands
Benefits of Fitbit Bands
By Shalini M
Fitness is a widespread activity today practiced by individuals and groups of all age categories, ranging from toddlers to senior citizens across the globe.
This activity serves as a virtual bridge connecting an individual's physical and mental well-being, thus favoring one to stay focused in their day-to-day activities and reducing health risks drastically.
In the current day, fitness trackers and pedometers are being used extensively to track day-to-day fitness regimens, which in turn helps one monitor their physical and mental health balance.
Fitbit - An overview
Fitbit is a wearable device that can be tightened to one's wrist, and the device will automatically track the rest, and the data gets stored or can be transferred into a smartphone via a fitness application that is paired with the device.
Fitbit helps its consumers track all their daily activities, thus pushing them to get on their feet and practice their fitness routine on a more regular basis.
The device serves a wide range of purposes, ranging from its primary role of fitness tracking to controlling your smartphones and devices paired with a Fitbit.
BENEFITS
The Fitbit is a band in the size of a wristwatch and some in the size of a bracelet with a diverse range of features and benefits that no one could imagine a small device could house within itself.
The core benefits of a Fitbit are as follows:
Fitness and step tracking:
The major purpose of the fitness tracker is to help track the daily steps consistently taken by its consumers and serves in tracking specific details of almost every known workout routine in the world, ranging from walking, running, cycling, swimming, yoga, intense training, and a lot more. It helps track the calories burnt, duration, heart rate, and various intricate details that are reliable to a certain extent.
Heart rate tracking:
The device continuously monitors the heart rate of an individual. A noticeable key element about this feature is that the device sends notifications to the smart device or vibration pulses on the wrist whenever there is a fluctuation in the heart rate, going below or above the standard designated range.
Oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) tracking:
The blood level oxygen requires regular monitoring, which requires an oximeter, but a Fitbit has the added benefit of serving the purpose of an oximeter, which keeps tabs on the oxygen level in the blood.
GPS tracking:
The Fitbit houses a built-in GPS tracking device that stores location data during activities involving movement from one location to another, which is helpful later for a personal analysis of a location of a specific route.
Sleep tracking:
Another beneficial feature of the Fitbit is the capability of the device to track an individual's sleeping patterns. It can track the entire sleep cycle ranging from the different sleep patterns throughout the cycle. It can collect and correlate sleeping patterns and show details on the duration of an individual on a light sleep, deep sleep, and various other related data.
Media storage and smart device control:
Though this feature would not be available on all the variants of Fitbit, certain high-end variants benefit from storing data such as images that can be viewed on the device and music that can be played directly from the device when paired with Bluetooth music devices. One would also be able to attend and decline calls, send and receive messages and social media notifications, set alarms, and reminders, all of which are possible from this miniature device on the wrist.
Payments:
One of the most recent features on a Fitbit device would be making payments directly by linking the user's bank account to the fitness band using respective designated applications. Hassle-free payments can be made with the ease of the wrist.
Conclusion:
A device that started with the sole purpose of serving as a provision to track the day-to-day fitness activities of an individual has shown substantial growth throughout its span with an unstoppable growth in technology everyday across all the categories and fields. Fitbit has been putting untiring effort into their products, resulting in impressive results across all their devices and performances.
Fitbit bands have succeeded in pushing individuals to get on their feet and focus on their physical and mental well-being to a great extent. Mobile Mob devices will continue to serve their purposes going forward with much more exciting features and modifications down the line.
