Another Demba Ba Other Muntari

Hundreds of Newcastle United fans singing energetically in a part stands St James Park Stadium, when his side face Manchester United in January 2012. "Demba scored 16 goals since Ramadan, and it seems like he has not been satisfied," so roughly one line of the lyrics.
In another match, the fans sang the lyrics repeating. Only the number of goals they change-change every piece of lyric is repeated. Until they sang, "Demba scored 20 goals during Ramadan, and it seems he has not been satisfied." Then they added the lyrics to "dddd dd dededddd ... dddddd .. dddd ... Demba. "if previously only pat hands, jump up and jingkrakkan supporters at the end of the song.
The chorus lyrics often they sang together wherever they like. While traveling on the subway to get to the stadium, on the streets, especially in the stadium.
Demba Ba is one Muslim player ever play at Newcastle United, before joining Chelsea. His background was inspired fans to make special chants in his honor.
At Newcastle, Demba indeed openly expressed worship did not want to leave his fast during Ramadan, even if power is needed on match day. The principle is simple. "If I play bad, just pull out of the field."
Gratitude, Newcastle United fans do not mind. They still see the French-born striker who chose to defend the Senegal national team, remains sharp and energetic.
In fact, at the beginning of his arrival at Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was criticized as a slow player look good start to the season. "In my view, it was because of Ramadan," he said. The beginning of the Premier League season in 2011 coincided with the month of fasting.
His first goal of the season was not created during Ramadan. New Ba successfully break the opponent's goal against Blackburn Rovers on 24 September 2011, nearly one month after the holiday.
But beginning next season, which coincides with the month of fasting, Demba Ba did not take long to gain sympathy. In the first game to face Tottenham Hotspur, Demba scored the opening goal that brought victory Black-White squad was ahead 2-1. His goals continues to flow after that.
The sweetness of sympathy from fans finally felt Demba. Moreover, the attitude was contagious Magpies fans at Chelsea fans, the club are now defended. London Blue supporters also have special chants for Demba Ba, who praise her religious background.
"He prayed five times a day, and play for Chelsea," so a fragment of the lyrics.
Other Ba, the fate of three other players Frankurt FSV, Pa Saikou Kujabi, Coulibaly and Oualid Mokhtari. Clubs angry knowing that three players secretly fasting when the match was held.
As a result, all three are letters of reprimand. But the events of 2009 that made football authorities in Germany tried to find a solution in consultation with a number of Muslim leaders in Germany.
Finally in 2010, the German Muslim Central Institute issued a fatwa that the players who play in the professional league should not fast during Ramadan. And they can be replaced at any other time when there is no match.
The coaches and the clubs in Europe are made anxious by Ramadan. In view of those who are less happy to see the players remain abstinent, actions to avoid eating and drinking will have a negative impact on the players stamina. Though the players need to carry the league maximum energy that goes with high blood pressure.
When coached Inter Milan, Jose Mourinho linked unsatisfactory appearance Sulley Muntari, with fasting. Ghanaian was not powered to be pulled out in the 28th minute when Inter drew 1-1 against Bari. Mou assume Muntari played poorly because he was fasting. This comment had received criticism from the leaders of Islamic organizations in Italy. But lately, Mou considers media misinterpreted his words mean.
He insists not intend to carry out the orders prohibit Muntari agamanya.Sikap Mourinho may be softer, not as strongly as Steve Bruce at Wigan Athletic coached from 2007 to 2009. Bruce asks players to select, play or fasting. Bruce's attitude makes striker Amr Zaki stealth fasting.
"He knew about my fast, but he does not allow me to compete when running fast. I choose to fast and play in a game without giving him. And I play normal without any problems, "he said, in an interview. "I fasted when we beat Newcastle 2-1. I scored one goal and all happy with my performance, "he said.

Boombox-powered dance party takes to the streets at SxSW

Milling under an overpass on ground still soggy from the day's rain, 100 or so young people prepared to party. Spraying on glitter and wheeling around on rollerblades, they awaited their call to action.

Minutes later, a Toyota Rav4 drove up with a U-Haul trailer in tow. Some dude wearing a Power Glove opened the trailer and began handing out boomboxes to the crowd as the electric throb of a Justice song played on a nearby sound system. As the boomboxes were powered on one at a time, the Rocky theme song began playing from each one in unison.

As soon as everyone was ready to go, a pair of disembodied voices came over the speakers of each boombox: "I'm Tom," and "I'm Gary," and "This is the Decentralised Dance Party!"

As far as South By Southwest Interactive events go, the impromptu gathering was one of the more creative in recent memory -- more of a party-starter than a startup party. No long lines, no trying to text friends inside to gain entry. No open bars stocked with investor dollars. Just an iPod, some battery-powered gear, and bunch of participants who learned when and where to show up by following updates on a Facebook page.

 "Every startup tries to pick the most exclusive [club] and tries to make the biggest splash, and we kind of wanted to do it at a different angle," said Bryan Jowers, co-founder and CTO of Giftiki during a break from inflating balloons before Saturday night's event.

 Giftiki, a group gift-giving startup, partnered with mobile rewards startup Kiip to set up the DDP, as the kids call them. The two companies partnered with an additional 31 startups to make the party happen. They also raised an additional $4,000 (£2,550) online to help pay for a few party favours -- presumably, the balloons patrons eventually began sucking helium from -- and to fly in the aforementioned Tom and Gary (no last names) who live in Canada and throw the parties semi-professionally.

 The idea was to involve a lot of smaller startups, companies that maybe don't have a lot of venture capital cash to throw around, and make the party inclusive.

"We wanted to give the opportunity to as many startups as possible that normally wouldn't be able to throw a startup party at South By Southwest," Jowers said.
The party itself was powered by Tom and Gary's hacked-together gear. As the party moved around Austin's downtown core, Gary controlled the music from an iPod in his fanny pack and MC'd from a mike hanging from his ear. The music, along with Gary's instructions to the crowd, was piped to all of the individual boomboxes -- some constructed out of suitcases -- using a pair portable FM-transmitters. The mobile radio transmitters, with their candy-cane-looking antennas, were strapped on Gary's back and the back of another young woman. The various boomboxes, including giant one carried by the mustachioed Tom, were all tuned to the proper frequency to pick up the broadcasted signal. Voilà : Instant party.


The theme of the flashmob-style gathering was "Extreme Physical Fitness," and all of the participants were decked out in Flashdance-inspired outfits. As the night continued, more and more people joined the fray and the atmosphere grew increasingly festive. At one point, a 25-year-old partygoer named Margaret Spear approached this reporter unprovoked, put a glow-stick bracelet on my wrist, and said, "I hope you have the most epic time tonight."
The group, which was also joined by DDP-aficionados from Occupy Austin, started under the overpass and marched through Austin. The party first passed the city's Long Center, then headed to a hill in Butler Park. The crowd eventually made its way down to the city's famed Sixth Street -- Austin's bustling strip of bars and nightclubs -- before being dispersed by the police just after midnight.
"It's so beautifully all-inclusive and it's through the streets, so everybody is invited," said Sofia Taboada, a 24-year-old San Francisco resident who works with Procter and Gamble's marketing team. "It's not like a closed venue, it's just better."
