Sheer battlefield effectiveness quickly relegated most unarmed art forms as a means of training. Or in many cultures, a sporting, traditional or spiritual component. Understand that this piece is not intended as attack on those who practice these arts, for the most part. For many the traditions and physical benefits of the arts make them worth practicing. For one reason or another these martial arts are really impractical in a modern sport or self defense situation

Picture of the Day

The Maiden, is the mummy of a teenage girl who died more than 500 years ago in a Incan ritual sacrifice in the Andes Mountains.

The girl and two other children were left on a mountaintop to succumb to the cold as offerings to the gods, according to the archaeologists who found the mummified remains in Argentina in 1999.

She was found dressed in a ceremonial tunic and adorned with a headpiece, tokens of her new status as a messenger to the heavens. The girl had also drunk corn liquor, likely to put her to sleep, scientists say, and her mouth still held fragments of coca leaves, which the Inca chewed to lessen the effects of altitude sickness.

The 7 Definitive Habits of Likeable People

habits of likeable people

We learn early on in life (in childhood and, if not, definitely when we enter the workplace after education) that a lot of our success boils down to how likeable we are.

The ‘likeability’ factor is often underestimated, with the majority of our attention given to the acquisition of new abilities and skills. Whilst there are important considerations, being likeable trumps them all because it works on a much deeper level. After all, life and business are social enterprises – in order to achieve our goals, we are going to need the help of others, and the help of others depends on them liking us.

How Do People Afford To Live In NYC?

how do people afford to live in nyc

This is a complicated question, I used to be a NYC rental broker so can answer this question as it relates to real estate.

  1. There is still a lot of rent stabilized and some rent controlled apartments. These apartments are significantly lower than market rate. There are people paying $2000 and under for 1 and 2 BR apts. those people NEVER LEAVE. They do the best they can with the finishes and condition of the apt, sometimes negotiating with the landlord for some basic upgrades but they NEVER LEAVE. They even treat their stabilized or controlled status as a sort of asset that can be passed down to other relatives who are occupants to the apt. So if you’re paying very low rent, this can definitely help you with cost of living.
