Extra Credit
The Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee is backing football tournaments being held in the State of Qatar throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan by presenting Fair Play awards to one team in each competition.
Awards for Fair Play are given to players and teams who most exemplify sportsmanship on and off the pitch.
“Fair play is a fundamental part of football,” said Nasser Al Khater, Executive Director of Communications and Marketing for the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee, “these awards reward footballers who play by the rules and respect fellow players, referees, opponents and fans.”
Among the tournaments the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee is supporting throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan .

The gold-medal game in women's hockey played out as advertised, with yet another thriller between USA and Canada. The Canadians prevailed with a 3-2 win in overtime for their fourth straight gold medal, reports AP. The loss is especially stinging for the US because it held a 2-0 lead with just over 3 minutes to play in the third period before giving up two late goals that forced overtime. In the extra period, Maria-Philip Poulin scored the game-winner on the power play. She scored the game-winner in the last Olympics, too, notes USA Today. And for good measure, she was the one who tied this game in the final minute. USA can get some retribution tomorrow: The men's team plays Canada in the semifinals.

Story
It was a beautiful morning and Layla asked her mother to visit her grandmother in a nearby village. The mother told Layla that she should go and take some sweets to her grand mum. The beautiful young girl left .She was very happy and enjoyed walking through the jungle. She liked the singing of the birds and the sound of the water streams. Suddenly a wolf met her and asked her where she was going. She told him that she was going to visit her grandma. She informed him where her grandma was living. He advised her to follow the shortest road. But actually he was missleading her to the longest one. The wolf hurried and reached the old woman’s house first. He locked the old woman in the cupboard and wore her clothes and slept in her bed. Layla was very happy when she reached the house of her grand mum .She entered and found her grand mum in bed (in fact she was the wolf). Layla asked her grand mum why her eyes were larger .The grand mum replied that she wanted to see her better. Layla also wondered why her ears were bigger. She answered that she could hear her well. And finally she wanted to know why her teeth seemed sharper and longer. The wolf then threatened her that he would eat her.She escaped and asked a hunter if he could help her. He went quickly to the house and killed the wolf. The hunter warned Layla not to be alone and to be careful of wild and dangerous animals when she walked in the forest

Football
Ozil wasn’t the only Arsenal player to perform badly at Anfield. However, the disparity between his talent and his actual contribution was glaring. His price tag and reputation means he is subject to certain expectations, and against Liverpool he fell woefully short of that mark.
It’s clear he’s playing without confidence. One of Ozil’s best attributes is his ability to beat men on the ball. However, according toSquawka, he failed with two of three attempted take-ons against Liverpool.

Personal Summary
summary
Having looked at both American Football and basketball’s plans to grow their markets beyond the U.S., my hunch is we should see an NFL team based overseas before an NBA franchise.
However, I would not be surprised if neither league actually moves a side to foreign soil, even though global expansion is viewed as essential to growing their respective businesses.
The view of the NFL as a global sport is accentuated during Super Bowl week. The clash between the Atlanta Seahawks and the Denver Broncos is expected to attract more than 2013’s worldwide audience of 111.3 million viewers.
And with three regular season games scheduled for London next season, the sport is giving the impression of an inexorable journey towards physical expansion beyond American shores.
With annual revenues of around $10 billion a year, the NFL is twice as lucrative as the NBA.
However, with both sports reaching financial saturation point Stateside, the exploration of international markets continues apace.

Dawn bats
Dawn bats
The environment in which Dawn bats live has trees, flowers and fruits. I live in the mangrove and lowland areas of the forest, specifically Malaysia and Borneo. I mainly eat mangrove apples which are located in the swamps of the rainforest. Where I live it is cold, hot, moist, and humid depending on the season. In order to keep warm, I use my fur. I avoid enemies by flying. My life would be drastically altered if my home in the forest was destroyed because my living conditions would be change making it difficult to survive. I would be forced to live in the trees. I would eat anything accessible. I would not be able to live without the rainforest because it would be too drastic of an environment change .
