Simple Ways You Can Help Prevent Animal Cruelty http://idioteex.com/2010/01/simple-ways-you-can-help-prevent-animal-cruelty/ http://idioteex.com/2010/01/simple-ways-you-can-help-prevent-animal-cruelty/#comments Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:35:21 +0000 admin http://idioteex.com/2010/01/simple-ways-you-can-help-prevent-animal-cruelty/

Animal cruelty is common everywhere, even in places where it’s prohibited.  Although there may be laws on animal cruelty, its not highly implemented. Thus every year, there are several animals, including pets like cats and dogs, and wild animals, that are maltreated.

Animal cruelty can come in various forms.  You could have observed someone physically hurting an animal.  Animal cruelty can also be in the form of malnutrition when animal owners don’t feed their pets properly.  Generally, what causes injury and suffering to an animal can be considered animal cruelty.

One way of fighting animal abuse is to report it as soon as it is spotted.  Here are some things you can do to prevent animal cruelty.

Be Aware

Keep your eyes and ears open.  Your local humane society or animal shelter wouldn’t know several instances of animal abuse without those concerned citizens who report cruelty in their neighborhood through phone calls.  So, do your part and be on the look out for animals in your own neighborhood.   This could be a possible indicator of neglect or abuse.

Learn to Distinguish Animal Cruelty

Signs and Symptoms – There are signs and symptoms observed in most abused animals.  Watch out for wounds on the body, patches of missing hair, extremely thin and starving animals, limping and tick or flea infestations.  An owner who is physically abusing an animal is abusive.  Dogs left chained in the yard and without access to food and water is a neglectful act.  Animals hit by a car and not taken to a veterinarian is also a neglectful act.  These are all forms of animal cruelty.

Report Animal Cruelty

Know who to call when reporting animal cruelty.  There are some states that have Humane Law Enforcement officers who can investigate and arrest perpetrators of animal cruelty.  In some towns, you may have to call the police department or local animal control.  Know who to call.  Also, when reporting an incident, make sure that you provide as much information possible.  The details will mean a lot to the investigating officer.  Try writing down the type of cruelty you witnessed, who was involved, the date of the incident, and where it happened.

Do Some Proactive Steps to Fight Animal Cruelty

Animal cruelty is a crime.  Write or call your local law enforcement departments and tell them that investigating animal cruelty should be a main concern.  Fight for the passage of strong anti-cruelty laws on federal, state or local levels.  Have signature petitions. Write letters to legislators.  Stronger laws mean tougher penalties, and punishment for animal cruelty should be harsher! Support your local animal rescue organization or local shelter.  Volunteer at animal shelters and rescue groups in your area.

Lastly, set a good example for others.  You can prevent animal cruelty and it starts within you.  If you are a pet owner, make sure that you always show your pets the love and care that they ought to have.  Always provide food, fresh water, shelter and medical treatment if your pet is sick.  Have your animals spayed or neutered.  Be a responsible pet owner.  And to top it off, a lot of hugs and kisses won’t hurt!

Public Speaking: 8 Simple Tips To Put Humor Into Your Speech http://idioteex.com/2010/01/public-speaking-8-simple-tips-to-put-humor-into-your-speech/ http://idioteex.com/2010/01/public-speaking-8-simple-tips-to-put-humor-into-your-speech/#comments Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:43:15 +0000 admin http://idioteex.com/2010/01/public-speaking-8-simple-tips-to-put-humor-into-your-speech/ A speech can be interesting, informative and highly entertaining without being humorous. Most speakers are invited because they are well informed on a specific subject and it is of interest to the audience, the listeners do not necessarily expect to be entertained. For entertainment they would hire an entertainer.

However, humor has a number of great benefits in helping the speaker to be more effective in achieving the overall purpose of their speech. The advantages of using humor in your speech are:

-You’ll quickly gain control of the audience – it gains their attention and helps in pulling them together

- It can be used to transition from one part of the speech to the next

- Helps to illustrate the points that you are making 

- It will give the audience a “breather” by breaking up your speech. It is difficult for listeners to concentrate for long periods and it gives them a rest and keeps them interested.

- The use of humor can show that you do not take yourself too seriously and will increase your “likeability” quotient 

- When presenting new ideas and policies that may not be popular, you can use humor to put your point across without creating hostility.

Humor can be learned and utilized by anyone willing to try. Most of the best speakers use it. To develop the art of humor will take you only a few minutes a day. To put humor in your speech apply the following:

- Develop a stockpile of stories – be on the lookout for good brief stories in newspapers, magazines and the internet. Be a careful observer of life. Also be a “watchful “listener of stories on TV or other speakers. Note the stories down. Do not rely on your memory * Observe other speakers. Note how they tell the story, the tone of their voice, their gestures, face expressions, the timing and pauses.

- Memorize the stories. You cannot read humor – you need to be looking at you audience to sell it. Also you do not want to lose your opportunity by stumbling over the punchline. * Be prepared to deliver “impromptu” stories. Carry an index card in your pocket with the first line or a suggestive line of several stories. By quickly glancing at the card you will be able to quickly recall the story. 

- Practice. A story gets better the more times it is told. Practice in front of the mirror or your family. Try different things – your voice tone, pauses, gestures, facial expressions etc.

- If the audience does not laugh at your story or joke move on. Don’t let it throw you off course. There will be time to assess after the speech.

- Make the stories relevant to your speech and appropriate to the audience

- Plan the “spice” in your speech. Most TV and radio performers follow their scripts so closely there is not even room for an “ad lib” sneeze.

Humor is an important tool in gaining and keeping an audience’s attention and can be applied by anyone with the desire to develop the art. In summary, memorize and practice, tell the right story at the right time, be prepared, and gather a fund of stories.

Art Simple Stir-frying http://idioteex.com/2009/07/art-simple-stir-frying/ http://idioteex.com/2009/07/art-simple-stir-frying/#comments Fri, 24 Jul 2009 21:47:41 +0000 admin http://idioteex.com/?p=60 My first stir-fry experience came with my first job: I was a stir-fry cook for my university’s dining hall.

It was no glamorous gig; in fact, since I received nothing but a wok and a perforated plastic cooking spoon when I started and barely knew how to cook anything then, it was tough.

My first few stir-frys were guesses: I remember balancing soupy creations on students’ trays or giving them back a bowl of still-raw veggies with just a tad of teriyaki sauce. Though the students’ faces varied in degrees of revolt at the sight, each time one thing was certain: The pan scrubbers in the back were constantly mad at me for blackening their pans to the point of no return. For more details visit to www.fair-recipes.com
The job didn’t last long – about a month or so, when I decided that I was better suited behind a receptionist desk instead of a kitchen. I didn’t touch the wok for years, but later when I found myself out of college, with a hectic job in New York City and often no time to cook, the stir-fry became my savior.

The fastest dinner you can possibly make – aside from grilled cheese sandwiches and salads – is a stir-fry. With the freedom to vary the healthy ingredients each time, this simple dish never gets old. Here are my step-by-step directions for any beginner, with or without a fry-cook job:

Ingredients:-

Shrimp, Linguine, Onions, Tomatoes, Broccoli, Carrots, Mushrooms, Snow peas or green beans, Red peppers, Corn, Cilantro leaves, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp stir-fry sauce, pinch of salt, pinch of garlic salt, pinch of pepper, hot sauce to taste,

The How-to
Sometimes it’s not your add-ins that can make or break a dish, but the technique. Here is the best one I have discovered:

1. Heat pan in Medium to High heat for one minute.
2. Pour a tablespoon of oil – or more depending on your preference – for two more minutes. In the meantime, chop up all your vegetables.
3. Drop vegetables in the pan. The onions will release their wonderful aroma, but don’t get carried away by it: Keep stirring so your veggies don’t stick to the pan.
4. Sprinkle salt, garlic salt, and pepper.
5. After about four minutes, when veggies are soft, toss the noodles and the shrimp into the mix.
6. Add a tablespoon of stir-fry sauce (homemade or ready-made) and hot sauce to taste, stir for another two minutes, and you’re done. To know more logon to www.100cookingtips.com
I like to use Kikkoman’s stir-fry sauce, because unlike other too-fatty oils, this one only has 20 calories per tablespoon and no fat.

Most important, remember to enjoy this dish, and next time you make it, try different combinations of flavors, like adding tofu instead of shrimp or chicken, to find your favorite one.
