There are many martial arts styles, and the best one for a particular individual will depend on your personal interests, goals, and physical abilities. All martial arts share a single objective: to physically defeat another person and to defend oneself or others from physical threat. Martial arts promote self-discipline, build strength, flexibility, and agility, and instill values of honour, hard work, and respect. Many programs teach confidence-building self-defence skills as well. Some popular martial arts styles include: Aikido Aikido is a Japanese grappling art, performed by moving with the motion of the attacker rather than opposing her straight-on.

Cash stuffing requires quite a bit of organization, planning, and most importantly, self-restraint. The good news is that once you get used to cash stuffing, it will become easy and help you manage your finances.

This past October, a group of climate protestors threw a can of tomato soup at Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers (left). The protestors’ aim was to garner national media attention with the stunt by publicly “vandalizing” the famous painting (which was protected by glass and therefore not actually damaged). The protestors achieved their goal of going viral, in part due to the fact that they chose an absolutely iconic van Gogh painting. Ironically enough, Sunflowers would have been worth next to nothing at the time of its creation. Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch artist who suffered severe depression and spent most of his life in poverty. While he was alive, few people were fans of his work. Born on March 30, 1853 in the Netherlands, van Gogh was the oldest…

An Explosive Experiment In my science class, we had a project where we had to do some small reactions, like baking soda mixed with vinegar. We had to group into pairs so my friends and I grouped up together. I had to carry a little cup with the vinegar from the teacher’s desk back to our desk, and while I was carrying it some guy in my class whipped around too quickly and knocked the vinegar all over me! Not only was I all wet, but I stunk like vinegar for the rest of the day. Going for a Ride One time, my family went to this fair that had a little mini boat ride in the middle of the lake.
