The 7 Laws of Football Quarterbacking2

By: Kanwar Narendra Singh Jodha
5. Choice of plays. Remember what plays have been going successfully and, of equal importance, those that have failed to gain ground. If plays gain ground they should be used until the defense shifts about to meet them. Then it will be time to resort to other plays. There is no law against returning to the successful plays later on if conditions warrant.

6. The sixth law comes into the field of generalship and strategy. At all times the Quarterback must keep his plays in sequence order. Some plays are to be used as checks, others as feelers. At times it may be necessary to sacrifice a play to make those that are to follow successful. This, of course, necessitates a quarterback's looking a long way ahead.

7. The seventh and last law is one of precaution. Whenever in doubt, your Quarterback should do one of two things. The most natural is to kick. The other is to call time out and ask the linemen for information regarding the alignment and characteristics of the defensive linemen. More often you will punt when in doubt. Punting is almost always the safe procedure.

The 7 Laws of Football Quarterbacking1

By Kanwar Narendra Singh Jodha
In all of my research, over a period of several years, the finest information I have ever read on quarterback leadership came from my friend Frank Carideo. The purpose of this information was to outline the process by which a quarterback was trained at Notre Dame, under Coach Knute Rockne. This course of quarterbacking was as exacting in many respects as any collegiate course.

Coach Rockne had seven cardinal principles of quarterbacking that were preached over and over again.

In all of my research, over a period of several years, the finest information I have ever read on quarterback leadership came from my friend Frank Carideo. The purpose of this information was to outline the process by which a quarterback was trained at Notre Dame, under Coach Knute Rockne. This course of quarterbacking was as exacting in many respects as any collegiate course.

Coach Rockne had seven cardinal principles of quarterbacking that were preached over and over again.

1. A Quarterback must maintain a cocky air at all times.

a. You want you’re Quarterback to show other teams that he knows what he is going to do next—there isn't a bit of doubt in his mind about what he is going to do on the next play.

b. You want his facial expressions to indicate to your team and your opponents' team that he not only knows what he is going to do next, but that he is going to do it successfully, for all that they can do to stop him.

c. Be sure he understands that this is just an air. It is a role he is playing. It isn't himself that you want to be cocky; it is the Quarterback. You don't want your boys to be too cocky. There is a limit, and he must know it.

He might offend the members of his own team. His job is to irritate the members of the other team, not his own. You want that cocky air at all times—and on the practice field is one of the times.

2. You want a Quarterback with a clear, staccato voice. You want a voice that is forceful and decisive. You want it to be heard and to be understood when it is heard. You want it to be recognized by your own team as the command of one who is about to lead his army somewhere to a definite objective. You want it to be recognized by the enemy as the voice of one who is going to reach that objective with his army, no matter what might be done by anyone to stop it.

3. This third law is a variation of the first. You want your Quarterback to know what he is going to do next and to do it. You don't want him to show at any time, at any time whatever, that he is in doubt about his next move. And, you don't want him to show that he is worried or communicate any such feeling to his team. Stress this point—though we are beaten—and at times badly—we will never become demoralized.

4. The fourth law of generalship is a vital one: Observation, at all times, of the defensive alignment of the opposition. Have he observe at all times and ask himself the question: Who made the tackle? Also those that were not in on the tackles. Try to observe any glaring weakness in the defensive line or in the secondary. Especially on passes. Illustration on a charging half back and shooting line backer.

San Jose Family Law

By David Siegel
Increase Denied

Trial court properly denied petitioner's request for increased child support. Modification of support is required where there is a substantial imbalance between the supporting parent's capabilities and the child's needs. Where there was sufficient evidence to justify the finding that, since the entry of the original divorce decree, the needs of the defendant's children had increased materially, and the evidence also sustained a finding that defendant was able to pay an increased amount of child support, trial court findings that defendant should pay increased child support was not contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence.

Increase in Child Support

Trial court abused its discretion in failing to comply with 750 ILCS 5/510(a) and 750 ILCS 5/513 of the Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, 750 ILCS 5/510(a) and 750 ILCS/ 5/513, before extending the termination date of a support order to provide child support for an 18 year old until his graduation from high school. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in increasing the amount of child support where the children had grown older and, thus, the court could presume their needs increased, ex-wife testified that as the children were older, they became more involved in school activities, thereby increasing their expenses, husband's financial affidavits indicated he was making a higher salary than he did at the time of dissolution and this was not contradicted, and ex-wife was not making much more money and testified she needed the child support in order to make ends meet. Petitioner clearly established both increased expenses for her daughters and respondent's increased ability to support them; hence, the appellate court found an abuse of discretion in the circuit court's dismissal of petitioner's petition for modification and found that the record supported an increase in child support in an amount calculated pursuant to 750 ILCS 5/505(a).

Minimum Support Guidelines

The guidelines for minimum support in 750 ILCS 5/505 are to be used when considering the modification of a support judgment.

In General

Parties cannot agree to make child support nonmodifiable; child support is modifiable even when combined with nonmodifiable alimony or maintenance. Unlike other final orders, a decree of child support is always modifiable. When a supporting spouse's financial condition improves notably, where there is a discussion suggesting that increases should be made, child support payments may be required to be increased, even though there is no showing that the child's or children's needs have increased specifically where the original support payments did not adequately meet the children's needs. The proper issue before the trial court on a motion to modify child support payments was whether the circumstances of the parties and the children had materially changed since the divorce decree and only if these circumstances have changed since the time of the original decree would a modification of the child support be proper. The modification of child support payments is a judicial function which is to be administered solely by the court and at its discretion. For a case discussing modification of payments for children's education.

Did Aaron (Moses' brother) violated God' Law in Bible versus Quran?

By Dr. Ibrahim Khalil
Was Aaron (Moses' brother) Cursed in the Bible?
Yes, and…
He was Cursed because he had violated God' Law!
And had to be destroyed quickly; and Moses had to kill Aaron together with all the people which followed him!
-------------------------------------------

The following verses show how Aaron (Moses' brother) had violated God' Law!
The verses say: Do not make any gods, do not make cast idols etc.
But Aaron was idolater; he made the Golden Calf, built an altar for it and announced to worship it; and hence he violated God' Law!

Exodus 20:3 (New International Version)
You shall have no other gods before me.

Exodus 20:23 (New International Version)
Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.

Exodus 34:17 (New International Version)
"Do not make cast idols.

Leviticus 19:4 (New International Version)
Do not turn to idols or make gods of cast metal for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.

Deuteronomy 5:7 (New International Version)
You shall have no other gods before me.

Deuteronomy 6:14 (New International Version)
Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;

Deuteronomy 28:14 (New International Version)
Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
-------------------------------------------

The following verses show how Aaron (Moses' brother) is cursed because he did a thing detestable to the LORD!

Deuteronomy 11:28 (New International Version)
The curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known

Deuteronomy 27:15 (New International Version)
Cursed is the man who carves an image or casts an idol—a thing detestable to the LORD, the work of the craftsman's hands—and sets it up in secret." Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
-------------------------------------------

The following verses show how Aaron (Moses' brother) had to be destroyed quickly

Exodus 22:20 (New International Version)
Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the LORD must be destroyed.

Deuteronomy 7:4 (New International Version)
For they will turn your sons away from following me to serve other gods, and the LORD's anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you.

Deuteronomy 8:19 (New International Version)
If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.
-------------------------------------------

The following verses show that Moses had to kill Aaron together with all the people which followed him!
The Lord in the following verses Commanded Moses:
If you hear that a man has arisen and has led the people astray, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods", you must certainly kill him and all the people which followed him!
However, Moses never did that.
Does this mean that Moses also had violated God' Law; and he had thrown away the Lord's Commandment!

Deuteronomy 13:12-18 (New International Version)
12 If you hear it said about one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you to live in 13 that wicked men have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods you have not known), 14 then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, 15 you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. Destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock. 16 Gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. It is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt. 17 None of those condemned things shall be found in your hands, so that the LORD will turn from his fierce anger; he will show you mercy, have compassion on you, and increase your numbers, as he promised on oath to your forefathers, 18 because you obey the LORD your God, keeping all his commands that I am giving you today and doing what is right in his eyes.

=========

Was Aaron (Moses' Brother) Cursed in the Noble Quran?

Was Aaron Cursed in the Quran? NO
Did Aaron violated God' Law in the Quran? NO
Did Aaron deserve to be destroyed quickly in the Quran? NO
Did the Lord Command Moses to kill Aaron in the Quran? NO

Aaron was a prophet, all Muslims love and respect him very much.
It should be emphasized that anyone who says or believes that Aaron or any other prophet was idolater; he will be punished severely on the Day of Judgment and he will dwell in the Eternal Fire!
Anyone says or believes that Aaron was idolater, Cursed, violated God' Law or deserved to be destroyed quickly etc. he will dwell in the Eternal Fire!
But who made the Golden Calf to beguile the Israelites?
This is another story, in the upcoming article!
-------------------------------------------

What the Western Media would have said if the Quran was the book which says Aaron (Moses' brother) was idolater, cursed, violated God' Law or deserved to be destroyed quickly etc.?
=========
Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?"
