Liverpool 5 Arsenal 5 (5-4 On Penalties)

October 31, 2019 - Roshan

Liverpool’s dramatic penalty shootout victory over Arsenal sealed their place in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup after 10 goals were scored in a thrilling contest at Anfield. Celebrations broke out in front of the Kop after Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, 20, saved Dani Ceballos’ penalty to seal a 5-4 shootout win. Divock Origi’s 94th-minute scissor kick sent the game to penalties after Liverpool had twice come from behind to draw level. Arsenal’s Joe Willock thought he had given his side a memorable victory with a sensational long-range strike in the second half but there was more to come on an unforgettable night at Anfield.

The celebrations were wild from Liverpool’s players at full-time as teenager Curtis Jones coolly thumped the final penalty in off the post to make it five from five in front of the Kop. Arsenal were minutes away from victory after Willock’s stunning long-range effort had put them 5-4 up, before Origi pulled off what seemed the inevitable in stoppage time. Liverpool led just once during the match and that was after five minutes when Shkodran Mustafi slid in and diverted the ball into his own net. Midfielder Mesut Ozil, given just his third start of the season, then set-up Bukayo Saka, whose shot was rebounded in by Lucas Torreira to make it 1-1.

Teenager Gabriel Martinelli continued his impressive goalscoring form, pouncing on a loose ball at the near post before slotting in from Saka’s pass to make it 3-1 to Arsenal. But Liverpool cut their lead to one goal on the stroke of half-time through James Milner’s penalty after Harvey Elliott – who became the youngest Liverpool player to start at Anfield (16 years, 209 days) – went down in the box under minimal contact from Martinelli. It took just nine minutes for the goals to start flowing again in the second half, when Milner uncharacteristically gave the ball away in his own area and Ozil teed up Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fired in an excellent long-range effort for Liverpool and Origi’s smart turn and powerful finish made it 4-4 – all this before Willock and Origi’s late goals left the teams level at 5-5.

How To Find Yourself A New Hobby

October 31, 2019 - Roshan

A hobby is something that all of us need in life to help keep motivated and to find our passions. Life should be exciting and a lot of our boredom can come from not having enough to do in life. Here are some tips to find yourself a new hobby.

Think About What Makes You Escape

With hobbies, a lot of the time, it takes you away from what you’re doing or what you have to do but don’t want to particularly do it right now. Hobbies are a form of escapism and so when you’re trying to figure out what sort of hobby you want, it’s worth trying things to see if it helps you forget. Forget about maybe something personal going on in your life right now or to just take your mind away. From Side Bet Sport Fishing to do knitting or buying and selling on Ebay, there’s something for everyone and each one will be different for each person.

Take It Back To Your Inner Child

Your inner child is still in you and it’s that one that comes out when you rediscover something from your childhood. Perhaps something you ate as a child, a tv show that’s just popped up on your screen or receiving an advent calendar stuffed full of chocolate. There might be a few hobbies or something that you always wanted to be a hobby when you were younger. Perhaps it’s a fascination around wanting to ride a horse or trying to ski. Get in touch with that inner child and figure out what sounds like a fun thing to try out. As adults, we become fear of doing new things but it’s important that you don’t let that fear control you from living your life how you want it. Find that bravery that you had as a kid!

Listen To Your Body

Listening to your body is important and it’s one thing that we definitely learn as we grow up. We start to realize that certain things may make us happy and certain things will make us sad. When we feel happiness, it’s like a warm glow all over and it envelopes us. That’s what you want from a hobby and so when you’re trying to find one, search in favor of that emotion. You can try lots of hobbies out that other people will enjoy, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to enjoy it. Listen to your body and you’ll figure out what you like and what you don’t.

Figure Out What Needs To Change

There may be a lot going on in your life and some of those things you maybe don’t like so much anymore. It could be time for a change and usually hobbies can allow that to happen. So figure out what you want to adjust in your life and find a hobby that will replace it.

Finding yourself a new hobby can be good for your life and your mind, so look for something you love doing.

The Weird And Wacky Driving Laws Around The World

October 31, 2019 - Roshan

The world is a crazy place, and when you get used to a certain way of life only to see a totally different one, it can be mind opening. Not every country around the world is equal, and often they have vastly different rules and values. This is why sometimes you cannot take food on a plane or transport American plastic products to the rest of the world. Every country has their own laws, values, and regulations to follow.

That’s why today we wanted to take a look at some strange laws, and in particular, driving. Whether you work for a company like CTI Logistics Interstate or you are a single road user, there are certain things you should know before you take the wheel abroad.

Asia

To make things easier, we are going to take a look at the laws by continents, and as far as weird laws go; Asia has to have some of the strangest of all.

Japan – In Japan, respect and courtesy are both things heavily valued, and as a result there is a specific law that is crucial to obey. In Japan you must not splash water or mud on a pedestrian, it is impolite and also is illegal.

China – In China, children must salute passing cars. Also, it is illegal for drivers in China to stop for pedestrians on the road, so good luck walking anywhere!

Thailand – It is illegal in Thailand to travel topless. You may think this is an obvious rule to follow, however the hot climate often tempts motorists and tuk tuk drivers to take off their top.

Philippines – In Manila, you are not allowed to drive on a Monday if your number plate ends in either 1 or 2. Why? Who knows.

Europe

Europe is a vast continent and you may know already that the UK is already different to everyone else as they drive on the left side of the road. However, there are some weird rules in Europe that will really make you wonder.

Russia – In Moscow, it is a fineable offense to have a dirty car. The reason for this is that the city itself is incredibly clean and they don’t want anyone to tarnish the view.

France – This French law is a great idea for safety, but also one that is a little odd. It is illegal to not have a breathalyser in your car if you are driving in France. This aims to cut down on drink driving as if you are pulled over you will be automatically breathalysed.

Denmark – If you live in a suburban spot you may be used to checking for cats or other animals sitting under your car before you set off, however in Denmark you must check for children. It is a law that before driving, you must check underneath your car in case any children are hiding under there. It’s a worrying thought how they came to the conclusion that this law was needed.

Cyprus – We all know it is illegal to drink and drive, but in Cyprus, this law is taken very literally and you must not drink even water or juice when driving.

Switzerland – Tough luck if you want to clean your car on a Sunday because in Switzerland it is illegal.

Germany – Germany is the manufacturing capital of the world so it is no surprise that Germans came up with this rule. In Germany, you must follow strict set of laws including keeping your fuel tank full, as well as not breaking down. It is illegal to breakdown on the autobahn or stop for any reason.

North America

The United States is a vast country, and you likely already know that the law can differ starkly from state to state. It is no surprise then that the bulk of this list will be made up of weird laws in different parts of the USA.

California – There are a lot of laws in California which are bizarre, and here are just a couple of them:

It is illegal to jump from a car going 65 mph
It is illegal to dry your car with used underwear
It is illegal for women to drive while wearing a dressing gown
It is illegal to shoot an animal from your car, unless it is a whale

After looking at some of these weird laws, it makes you wonder how they came to be created in the first place.

Alaska – In Alaska it is an offense to tie a dog to the roof of your car, and to be honest we are glad of this rule.

Florida – If you were hoping to get free parking for your pet elephant you are out of luck in Florida. If you tie an elephant to a parking meter in Florida, you must pay for parking.

Massachusetts – Say goodbye to primate road trips because it is illegal to have a Gorilla in the backseat of your car.

Nevada – It is against the law in Nevada to ride a Camel on the highway…. To be fair this makes sense.

Minnesota – No matter how cold your head might be, crossing the state lines with a duck on your head is illegal.

Kentucky – it is illegal in Kentucky to allow your pet to molest a vehicle.

Montana – If you are driving a sheep in your truck, you must not leave it unattended.

Alabama – Alabama has some strange laws, but these two are the weirdest. You are allowed to drive the wrong way down a one-way street as long as there is a lantern attached to the car. And you are not allowed to drive blindfolded.

Georgia – In Georgia it is an offense to spit out of a moving car, however if you are driving a truck it is acceptable.

Maine – No matter how much you love donuts, you are not permitted to park in front of a Dunkin’ Donuts.

Colorado – In Denver specifically, you are not allowed to drive a black car on a Sunday.

There are many weird laws out there but these are definitely the strangest driving laws we’ve ever seen!
