Self Defense

Self-defense (self-defence in some varieties of English) is a countermeasure that involves defending the health and well-being of oneself from harm. The use of the right of self-defense as a legal justification for the use of force in times of danger is available in many jurisdictions. Physical self-defense is the use of physical force to counter an immediate threat of violence. Such force can be either armed or unarmed. In either case, the chances of success depend on a large number of parameters, related to the severity of the threat on one hand, but also on the mental and physical preparedness of the defender. Many styles of martial arts are practiced for self-defense or include self-defense techniques. Some styles train primarily for self-defense, while other martial or combat sports can be effectively applied for self-defense. Some martial arts train how to escape from a knife or gun situation, or how to break away from a punch, while others train how to attack. To provid

Working in Uncommon Fields of Expertise While Location Independence

A good part working in an uncommon field of expertise is the location independence you get. Look at me! I am working in uncommon fields of my expertise. I can get independence location where I want. To make me and my students do not feel bored, I can teach them in another place ( out of school ) like as hills. I can travel to any near places with my students. I can go to the zoo to teach students about the animals, I can go to the museum, and sure I can go to the botanical garden for teaching students about plants. This is good ways to teach students.

Social Dynamics & Communication Skills

Communication is a medium through which we share knowledge, ideas or thoughts with others. In today’s era, it is highly imperative for all of us to have good communication skills. With an effective communication skill, we can interact with a large number of people based globally. It is the most ideal medium of transferring information from one place to another. It can be done verbally, visually or in written form. Needless to say, verbal communication means you have to use your voice so as to educate or inform others. Besides, using books, magazine, websites (blog and articles), you can convey the information in a non-verbal manner to the masses. In addition to this, through catchy ads, logos, charts and maps, you can capture the attention of the onlookers. In simple words, you can visually communicate with them. In order to maintain the social dynamics of the society, an individual needs to be a good communicator. Regular interaction with other people can help in identifying the t

Personal Development

Personal development is a lifelong process. It is a way for people to assess their skills and qualities, consider their aims in life and set goals in order to realise and maximise their potential.

Rescued Animals

An  animal rescue group  or  animal rescue organization  is dedicated to pet adoption. These groups take unwanted, abandoned, abused, or stray pets and attempt to find suitable homes for them. Many rescue groups are created by and run by volunteers, who take the animals into their homes and care for them — including training, playing, handling medical issues, and solving behavior problems — until a suitable permanent home can be found. Rescue groups exist for most pet types (reptile rescue,  rabbit rescue  or  bird rescue ), but are most common for dogs and cats. For animals with many breeds, rescue groups may specialize in specific breeds or groups of breeds. For example, there might be local Labrador Retriever rescue groups, hunting dog rescue groups, large-dog rescue groups, as well as general dog rescue groups. Animal rescue organizations have also been created to rescue and rehabilitate wild animals, such as lions, tigers, and cheetahs; a job which is normally shared or back

Writing Style

Writing style  is the manner of expressing thought in language characteristic of an individual, period, school, or nation.Thus, style is a term that may refer, at one and the same time, to both conventions that go beyond the individual writer and to singular aspects of individual writing.Beyond the essential elements of spelling, grammar, and punctuation, writing style is the choice of words, sentence structure, and paragraph structure, used to convey the meaning effectively. The former are referred to as  rules ,  elements ,  essentials ,  mechanics , or  handbook ; the latter are referred to as  style , or  rhetoric . The rules are about  what  a writer does; style is about  how  the writer does it. While following the rules drawn from established English usage, a writer has great flexibility in how to express a concept. The point of good writing style is to express the message to the reader simply, clearly, and convincingly keep the reader attentive, engaged, and interested

How to Travel on a Budget

Image
1. Plan around off-peak travel times Be aware of the seasonality of travel. What is considered to be “off-peak” in one country might not be in another. Various destinations have different tourist seasons so make sure to do your research. With a little planning you can ensure you plan around the price hikes and tourist swarms! Travel to countries whose quality of life is inferior to ours or during their low season. Maybe the flights are somewhat higher but, if you opt for Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa or even Latin America, you can find good prices on accommodation and activities. In addition, there are less tourists and you can enjoy other types of activities and landscapes. “ But in Asia it’s rainy season ,” they’ll tell you. Yes, but it is the best time to see the rice fields on that green colour they show in the catalogues. “-  @raponchii 2.

Language Learning Blogs

1. Comical language learning:  Itchy Feet Language learners across the web love  Itchy Feet  because it’s as hilarious as it is spot-on. Malachi makes comics on every language topic you can imagine, and they nearly always deal with the struggles and frustrations that we learners face as we study and use the languages we love. And there’s something about putting those everyday obstacles into comic form that just makes for a great way to let go and giggle a bit at the weird linguistic world we live in. Some of the Itchy Feet comics are tailored to one particular language, but even those generally deal with the universal anxieties and challenges of language learning. Popular posts like  “View from the Top”  portray the shared struggle we all face in climbing to the top of “Mt. Fluency.” There’s also a super handy  random comic  button at the bottom of the homepage, a solid way to click away an entire afternoon while yelling “no, but it’s so true!” at your computer screen. 2.
