Wonder what this is all about? The technology will determine when the ball has completely crossed goal line, assisting the referee in calling a goal or not.
Two systems; the Hawk-Eye and GoalRef would be employed; both have passed scientific tests to prove that they could quickly and accurately judge when balls cross the goal line.
The Technology could be introduced into the Premier League soon.
Let's say a 'brand new referee' has been introduced to football. No cheating! Sounds nice

Sit back, relax and listen to these emotional stories!A mother can take the place of anyone else in a child's life but no one can take the place of a mother in that child's life. This is true. And two of Nigeria's famous entertainers, Steve 'Yaw' Onu, and Olajuwon 'Jaywon' Iledare, affirm as much on this week's edition of the popular reality television show, Supermom, the celebrity edition.
Yaw, a renown on-air-personality, actor and comedian rose to fame on the TV comedy drama, 'FLATMATES' with his character's humourous refrain, 'uwah bu paw paw mehn yaw' which kept people glued to their television sets every Saturday. The seventh of ten children who hails from Awka in Anambra state has now metamorphosed into a sought-after entertainer and was recently selected as one of Nigeria's Olympic torch bearers.
But his road to success was not smooth. According to Yaw's mum, whose turn it is to share her story on the popular show which airs on major terrestrial television stations in Nigeria, it was indeed very hard taking care of ten mouths and having to pay rent in their squalid apartment in Lawanson, Surulere, Lagos. "Whenever the rains came, it fell directly on us because the roof was leaking." A trader of 'okrika' (hand me down, second hand clothes) in Yaba market, the 62 year old woman recalls that she had to take to petty trading to compliment her husband's salary. She also ensured Yaw and his siblings hawked cold drinks and 'pure water'. "She would tell me she was teaching me business instead of her to just say she wanted me to help her out in the market," Yaw jokingly adds. One day, while on an itinerant hawking in Aswani Market, Lagos, she was arrested by town council officials and she was locked up. "I go prison oh because I deh train children. That day, my children no see me," she says in vernacular. Because she could not bail herself, a good Samaritan did. The family would also suffer another adversity when the matriarch was involved in a tragic accident in a 'molue' heading to Iyana-Ipaja from Maryland which had brake failure and somersaulted several times. Mrs. Onu who was standing in the bus sustained minor injuries but was unconscious which made many mistake her for dead. "I was taken with the other corpses to the mortuary. It took a man who came to see if he could identify the casualties to see that I was still alive." Ironically, when her children came visiting, the youngest of them said, "mama we never chop o" even before asking how she was faring. Despite her initial objection to his choice of career, she now prefers to be called Mama Steve because he had brought her suffering to an end. "My children made it; thank God I did not suffer in vain." For Mrs. Comfort Iledare, the mother of Kennis Music artiste, Jaywon, reality dawned on her that life was not a bed of roses when she lost her husband in 1998. And was left to cater for four kids. There was nothing she didn't sell among her paraphernalia just for her kids to go to school. One of her most painful experiences was when she had to sell her jewelry and pot to her friend who bought them instead of just lending her the money to pay her children's school fees. When she borrowed N10, 000 from another friend, she had to hawk shoes for a year to pay back the money. Jaywon says, "We suffered a lot. I was always hawking used and worn out shoes. When I return from school with my brother, we would go to dumpsites to pick worn out shoes and pots and then sell them." As much as she wanted her son to be an accountant, the latent singing talent started manifesting since he was a kid. According to her, "He was gentle, not as troublesome as the other children but there was something wrong, his love for music. Juwon would always come home from school with children singing and dancing. Whenever they came, I would chase them all away. I didn't know it is that same music that would now make him a star and me a proud mother."Yaw and Jaywon's mother's stories are the focal point in the episode five of the celebrity edition of Supermom sponsored by Procter and Gamble.

Pictures at times speak 'loudest' than words. Very ingenious tho but I'm not a party to this.lol
The 28 year-old captain's mind is made up and it seems there's no going back. But he wants his fans to understand his decision(Note: If you're not an arsenal fan, pls flip this page.lol). Read on!!!"This is an update for the fans about my current situation. I have kept quiet all this time out of respect and loyalty for the club and as agreed with Mr. Gazidis and Mr. Wenger, but since there is so much speculation in the media, I think it is fair for you guys to know what's really going on at the moment.
"As announced earlier this year I had a meeting with the Boss and Mr. Gazidis after the season. This was a meeting about the club's future strategy and their policy. Financial terms or a contract have not been discussed, since that is not my priority at all."I personally have had a great season but my goal has been to win trophies with the team and to bring the club back to its glory days."Out of my huge respect for Mr. Wenger, the players and the fans I don't want to go into any details, but unfortunately in this meeting it has again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way Arsenal FC should move forward."I've thought long and hard about it, but I have decided not to extend my contract. You guys, the fans, have of course the right to disagree with my view and decision and I will always respect your opinions."I love the club and the fans, no matter what happens. I have grown up and became a man during my time with Arsenal FC."Everybody at the club and the fans have always supported me over the years and I have always given my all (and more) on and off the pitch."I am very proud of being part of this fantastic club for the last 8 years. As soon as Mr. Gazidis is back from his 2-week holiday in America further meetings will follow and I will update you if and when there are more developments."

The work he has to do cost Jesus his life, don't joke with it. Our friendship is not based on marriage. You manipulate things at the expense of God's work and name. It is not about me. It has never been: it is about the will of God.Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wing until the danger passes by. Vindicate me, Lord. All things are open before you, righteous judge. I remain still, speak on my behalf. I submitted to the end.
I did all I was asked to do, Lord. I left that home blameless before you. I have loved but have not been loved. I have given and not received; but that is contrary to your word, Lord. So, today I ask your word be made manifest in my life.
Hmmmmmm!
Babatunde's story about Nigerian soldiers who fought in the Burma campaign during World War II singled him out from other four shortlisted writers and landed him the highly coveted £10,000 ($15,700) prize.
Presenting the award at the Bodlelian Library, Oxford, United kingdom on July 2nd, the chair of judges, Bernardine Evaristo described the winning story as "ambitious, darkly humorous and in soaring, scorching prose exposes the exploitative nature of the colonial project and the psychology of independence."
During BBC's Network Africa interview, the visibly happy Babatunde explained that
"The story is about African soldiers who go to Burma and came back with a sense of new realities and new possibilities. The boundaries that the main character, Bombay, witnessed in Nigeria fell away during the heat of the campaign.
He lost his reverence for the colonial officers.
Babatunde will also have the opportunity to go to Georgetown University, USA, as a writer-in-residence for a month at the Lannan Center for Poetics and Social Practice.
The Caine Prize for African Writing is an annual literary award for the best original short story by an African writer, whether in Africa or elsewhere published in the English language. The £10,000 prize
was founded in the United Kingdom in 2000, and was named in memory of the late Sir Michael Harris Caine,
former Chairman of Booker Group plc.
