Hockey

All of us here love the sport of hockey. We each have our own reasons—the speed, the skill, the strategy, the strength, or that something else—that attract us to the game time and again, what we may not realize, though, is how important a game like hockey can be to the children of our lives.

Hockey benefits a child in a myriad of ways, including physically, emotionally and mentally.

1. Hockey is fantastic exercise. Hockey is one of the best cardiovascular games you can play. Alternating between skating and rest (what is known as interval training in the fitness world) improves the efficiency of the cardiovascular system, allowing it to bring oxygen to the muscles more quickly. It also helps to prevent injuries that often come with other sports that engage in repetitive movements. Playing hockey burns a ton of calories. Many children are facing problems with weight and diabetes as a result of eating foods that are high on taste, but low on nutrition. Playing hockey one or two times a week can offset those foods kids enjoy so much and give them the energy and desire to go outside instead of laying on the couch. Hockey requires a high level of coordination; regularly playing can develop a child's gross motor skills, which leads to improvement with the more difficult fine motor skills, and improves eye-hand coordination, which can translate to a better understanding of spatial relationships. It also requires strength, something that can benefit a child in whatever activity he or she pursues. Stronger muscles improve endurance and create stronger bones.

2. Hockey builds character. Since hockey is a team sport, children who play learn the value of working with others. They figure out how to rely on teammates and understand that cooperation is key to success. Children on hockey teams experience a team spirit that encourages trust, responsibility and sportsmanship. These lessons extend into adulthood as teammates turn into coworkers, coaches become bosses, and teams become the companies for which they work . An often overlooked benefit of team sports, including hockey, is developing the ability to accept the highs and lows in life with poise and balance. Experiencing the wins and losses that come with hockey helps a child deal with the wins and losses in life all that much better. Hockey also promotes a strong sense of self, a positive self-esteem and pride. Utilizing positive self-talk and managing stress help balance a child's outlook on life.

3. Hockey improves mental agility. Hockey is a fast sport. Plays develop in seconds, and momentum can shift in the blink of an eye. A child who can learn how to operate in that sort of environment will improve his or her ability to make quick decisions and think on his own feet. Concentration is also improved; being able to concentrate while playing will make it easier to concentrate while learning. It's also a sport of strategy. Understanding how one event can lead to—or even create—another is essential to life success. When a child develops the skills to do that on the ice, that child can then translate the skills to life. Children also learn how to use mental imagery, a skill that can aid in understanding how to do something. Mental imagery is also frequently used by adults to achieve goals.

Research has shown that kids who play hockey at a young age are more likely to continue to play that sport throughout their lives. In fact, youth hockey players are three times more likely than basketball players and nearly two times more likely than baseball, soccer or football players to go on to play the sport in college . By putting a child in a hockey program, you are creating a lifelong enthusiast and health-oriented individual.

More than 200 million people speak French on the five continents. The Francophonie, the international organisation of French-speaking countries, comprises 68 states and governments. French is the second most widely learned foreign language after English, and the ninth most widely spoken language in the world. French is also the only language, alongside English, that is taught in every country in the world. France operates the biggest international network of cultural institutes, which run French-language courses for more than 750,000 learners.

2. A language for the job market

An ability to speak French and English is an advantage on the international job market. A knowledge of French opens the doors of French companies in France and other French-speaking parts of the world (Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, and North and sub-Saharan Africa). As the world’s fifth biggest economy and number-three destination for foreign investment, France is a key economic partner.

3. The language of culture

French is the international language of cooking, fashion, theatre, the visual arts, dance and architecture.

4. A language for travel

France is the world’s number-one tourist destination and attracts more than 70 million visitors a year. A little French makes it so much more enjoyable to visit Paris and all the regions of France (from the mild climes of the Cote d’Azur to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps via the rugged coastline of Brittany) and offers insights into French culture, mentality and way of life. French also comes in handy when travelling to Africa, Switzerland, Canada, Monaco, the Seychelles and other places.

Football

In order to understand the passions of modern football, we need a quick look back into history. .

Football has existed, in one form or another, since the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans, possibly before. The Greeks played "ball games" known variously as episkyros or phaininda.

The Romans played a version of these games, which they dubbed harpastum.

The Chinese played ball games as well. We know this from the "Zhan Guo Ce," an ancient Chinese military manual, which tells us that they played a game involving a ball called cuju.

Versions of this Chinese game ultimately spread to Japan and Korea, where it became known as kemari and chuk-guk, respectively.

The history of football is long, and very interesting, but would take up too much space here. For now, let’s fast-forward a bit.

"Between 1324 and 1667, football was banned in England alone by more than 30 royal and local laws." [i]

The game had become so rowdy and disruptive that King Edward II issued the following proclamation on April 13, 1314: "Forasmuch as there is great noise in the city caused by the hustling over large balls from which many evils may arise which God forbid; we command and forbid, on behalf of the King, on pain of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city in the future"[ii].

The main reason for the ban, however, was that it distracted the citizenry from the practice of archery, which was deemed necessary training for war.

It was however, the British "public" schools (known as private schools elsewhere) that kept the game alive. It is believed that the public schools (Eton and Harrow, in particular) took the game away from the "mob" and civilized it through an organization of rules and codes of conduct.

As such, the game was transformed from a working-class game to an upper-class game.

The rules at this time differed, depending on where the game was played. There were no separate rules as yet for rugby and football, so what we think of as football was a jumbled mass of football, rugby, and other games of a similar nature.

The working classes at this time worked six days a week for 12 hours a day, including Saturday. Thus, they had little time for games, and, consequently, the British public schools controlled and strengthened the game from roughly the banning in 1314 through 1850.

In 1850, Parliament passed the Factory Act, which changed the law so that, "they could not work before 6 a.m. (7 a.m. in winter) or after 6 p.m. on weekdays (7 p.m. in winter); on Saturdays they had to cease work at 2 p.m."[iii]

As a result, children had more time to absorb games like football. Thus, the influence of the public schools began to wane, and the heart of football was slowly passed back to the working classes.

Up until this time, football and rugby were virtually indistinguishable, because the rules of play were different depending on where you played.

This changed in 1863 with the creation of The Football Association (The FA). Several football clubs chose to withdraw from the FA because of two rules: the use of hands and tripping had been removed from charter for the league.

These clubs formed the Rugby Football Union in 1871, which finally separated associations of football and rugby. Modern football grew out of the work of the FA in England, and in similar associations around Europe.[iv]

The Industrial Revolution gave birth to modern football.

It was the small, provincial industrial towns that had the most successful clubs. This occurred for one very important reason: The industrial revolution occurred in these provincial factory towns.

Towns like Manchester, Dortmund, and Liverpool grew out of the Industrial Revolution.

Migrant workers from all over Europe flocked to these industrial cities for work. They had no ties to their new community.

In most cases, they didn't know the language, had few friends, and had no outlet outside of work. Football gave them something they could belong to.

It was a club, not just for the players, but also for the supporters. It gave them a sense of belonging, which they lacked.

They were strangers in a strange land, and football became their passion. The game became a source of civic pride for its supporters.

What started as local support among provincial townspeople soon grew to encompass supporters from other areas.

The football team became a microcosm of society. It became a leisurely outlet for the collective provincialism, sectarianism, and nationalism of its supporters. Later, religion and politics would play a part as well, as the rivalries between the Celtic and Rangers in Scotland, or Barcelona and Madrid in Spain, can attest to.

Often times, the football team became the outlet for the embittered passions of a populace that had no outlet for its frustrations. Rivalries became an "us" vs. "them" affair in which violence was not unknown.

At its worst, these social passions devolved into hooliganism and violence.

Thus, football has become a by-word for sectarianism. While the collective passions, and frustrations, of the supporters often result in violence, more frequently they create a passionate spectacle that is unrivaled in sports.

This, then, is the story of why football fans are so passionate. Yet this is the prelude, not the postscript.

Time Management

We've all heard the saying "time is money", and that phrase is essentially true. Unfortunately, time doesn't always equal money though. Time is continually passing but that doesn't mean you are continually making money, this depends on how you manage your time and what you do with it. Here are 9 reasons time management is important.

9 Reasons Why Time Management is Important

Time is limited
Everyone gets the same amount of time each day, and it's limited, therefore it's important to make the most of your time if you ever want to be more than average at the workplace.
Accomplish more with less effort
By taking control of your time, you're able to stay focused on the task at hand. This leads to higher efficiency since you never lose momentum. Imagine running a mile where you stop every 5 seconds, this would cause you to become exhausted very quickly and take much longer to complete the run.

Make better decisions
There are many choices in life and often-times we're faced with many choices to choose from at the same time. When you practice good time management, you have more time to breathe; this allows you to determine which choices are the best to make.

When you feel pressed for time and have to make a decision, you're more likely to jump to conclusions and not fully consider the different options; this leads to poor decision making.
Be more successful
Time management is the key to success; it allows you to take control of your life rather than follow the flow of others. You accomplish more, you make better decisions, and you work more efficiently; this leads to a more successful life.

Learn more
When you control your time and work more efficiently, you're able to learn more and increase your experience faster. There's a reason some students graduate earlier than others, so imagine implementing time management throughout your entire career. You'll not only stand out from the rest, but you'll gain experience must faster and be able to move up in life a lot sooner.
Reduce stress
One of the main causes of stress is due to people feeling rushed. The phrase "I have so much to do and so little time to do it" is generally spoken with frustration which leads to stress. With good time management, you know how much time you have, how long it will take to get your tasks done, you accomplish more, and have more free time. This gives you more breathing room, which reduces the feeling of being rushed, which in turn leads to less frustration and stress.
Higher quality work
We all need some free time to relax and unwind but, unfortunately, many of us don't get much free time because we're too busy trying to keep up with our daily activities and work load. By implementing time management skills, you are able to get more done in a shorter period of time leading to more free time.
Creates discipline
When you practice good time management in your life, you are less likely to procrastinate. Time management leads to higher productivity and leads to a disciplined life.

Creating a Positive Cycle with Time Management

Not only are there an abundance of reasons as to why time management is important, but there is a multiplicative benefit of time management. Implementing good time management allows you to accomplish more in a shorter period of time, which leads to more free time, which leads to lower stress, which increases your attention span and increases your work quality, which leads to more success. Each benefit of time management improves another aspect of your life and it keeps going in a constant cycle.

So why is time management important? Well because, it makes you happier, more successful, live a fuller life, and live stress-free.

Self Defense

Self Defense

The state of Nevada is not a high-crime state, but it has a considerable number of skirmishes and violent crimes. According to data compiled by a website www.cityrating.com, a site that helps you to “find the best places to live in USA,” Las Vegas crime statistics report an overall upward trend in crime based on data from 10 years, with violent and property crime increasing. Based on this trend, the crime rate in sin-city is expected to be higher now than it was in 2009. According to the report, the projected crime rate for 2014 would be a total 68,897 crimes, which would include 9973 aggravated assaults, 873 cases of forcible rapes and at least 15,789 Motor Vehicle Thefts.

Nevada’s Department of Public Safety is comprised of nine divisions and three offices committed to ensuring the safety of the citizens of Nevada and its visitors. Nevada attracts over three million visitors every year. According to the Nevada Department of Public Safety Website, the department has approximately 1,500 full-time employees working in a diverse number of disciplines including Highway Patrol, Investigations and Narcotics, Parole and Probation, State Fire Marshal, Capitol Police, Training Division, Technology, etc. The ratio is one police officer per 1815 persons. This predicament has forced many citizens to enroll in self-defense classes.

Why Self-Defense is important

George Bernard Shaw once said “We educate one another; and we cannot do this if half of us consider the other half not good enough to talk to.” According the authors of Self Defense and Assault Prevention, Bruce Tegner and Alice Mcgrath, almost anyone can learn practical self-defense in a fairly short time without becoming an expert fighter. Self-defense is an instruction to minimize the possibility of assault: It is training to learn how to use a small group of simple, effective, physical actions for defense if no other alternative is available; but a Las Vegas Self-Defense expert has taken his teaching to another level. His innovative, bare-handed tactics have earned him a “medal of honor” worldwide. Tim Larkin, the former Navy Seals instructor and a trainer at Target Focus Training says “No woman of any age, be she large or small, needs to fall victim to a rapist if she knows the techniques to disable them.” Larkin conducts a popular two-day self-defense lecture to help people avoid becoming victims in this bleak economy.

Controversial Tim Larkin

But Tim Larkin is not a stranger to controversies. He is known to shoot off his mouth. He stirred the hornet’s nest in London this year when he said that Mixed Martial Artists think they can rule the roost with their technique and it is just another “combat sport.” “They are taught to follow rules when in a life-or-death situation; but assailants don’t follow rules,” said Larkin, on a tour to the British capital to teach Brits how to fight back on the gang-riddled streets of London. “Mixed martial artists draw too much attention to themselves in public and they are likely to be targeted by the gangsters,” said Larkin, also a former member of the elite U.S. Special Air Services (SAS). Larkin is not new to controversies; he was persona non grata in Slough, a small town outside of London when he hosted a two day seminar titled “how to kill a man in four moves.” Tim is the architect of Target Focus Training, an extreme, bare-handed self-defense system, which has no rules apart from instruction in how to disable, maim or even kill an attacker. Larkin conducts training at Target Focus Training in Vegas.
