For example Sam and Ramona take care of the pet on alternate days.
Share the work between the children. For example, one child cleans the hatch and another washes it.

The next point is regularity, so that it becomes routine. For this to happen you need motivation. Now the cycle is complete because with motivation you have fun and enjoy what you are doing.

It's easy to find on the internet some examples for different computer languages. It's important to understand what the examples mean. After that you can try to write your own program and test it. That is the best way to learn.

If you want or like sweet things and are not good at eating spicy food, try adding more sugar when you fry Kimchi.
If you want to enrich the texture of the food, it is better to add some meat or vegetables such as corns, onion and so on especially when you fry rice and to eat it with fried eggs.
The most delicious fried rice with Kimchi in the world is made by your younger sibling not you! So make your sibling do it and take it away!

Because stock investment can be started with little money, it's easy to buy online.

-Opening an account for it
If you open an account for it, it is easy to know how much money is coming and going.
It's a good idea to separate money for investment from savings, because it can stop you from going broke before you know it!!

-Getting more information
It is important to get information, because it is useful for buying stocks.
You should read newspapers, watch news, check online news so that you can choose the stocks you should buy.

(2) Parents should correct their children when they do something wrong. It's very helpful.
(3) Parents should spend quality time with their choildren.It’s often tempting to be in the same room with your child as they play with toys or a computer while you check email or social media. This is not enough. Play with them, look into their eyes and read a book with them. Ask them about their friends, find out what they think about school and so on. By doing this, you’re teaching them how to show care for another person and that they are important to you.
(4) Teach them to appreciate and be thankful.

You have to find a sport that you could keep doingso that you can easily finish your goals and you will enjoy it when you are doing it.

-Setting goals is the most important thing you have to do!
What do you want to archieve through the sport activity? It's a great idea to know how many days you have been training, because you can know what you have archived, then you are really happy and excited. 😆When you get this feeling then you get a cycle you can just keep doing several times in a week.
  • Ex: You want to run five kilometres today and you write it down on a piece of paper or put it on the board, so that you do not forget it.

-Find a friend or a family members who can do this together with you.
Because when you find a partner to do this with  you, you won't feel alone, and it's also easy to keep doing it! You can support each other.

1. You should give your pet a special place in your home and give him a comfortable nest at first. This is very important, because you want your pet to see your home as his own.
2. Taking time to play with your pet every day is the first thing you have to do so that you can be good friends.
3. Plan your pet's diet properly, feed your pet healthy food, like you feed your children. Please don't feed them too often and too much, because you don't want them to be too fat.
4. You also need to let everyone at home be friendly to your pet, especially children. Tell your children what things are dangerous.
Don't worry, you'll have a good start with your pet.

If you have ever caused one, you feel responsible to the victim for all the rest your life. You need to be a careful driver whenever you drive a car. 
First, you mustn't drive if you feel sleepy. And of course, never drive drunkenly. Driving is a monotonous activity, so you may feel asleep during a long driving time. You should sleep enough the day before to drive safely . 
Next, You must keep to the traffic rules at any time. Whether there is traffic or not, you must always obey the traffic rules. 
Finally, you should love yourself, your family and your car. If you love everything that you have, you will never do such careless driving.
I hope everyone keeps driving safely.

The situation changes every single day, sometimes we need to stay home. I have seen that people who need a buddy to get over with it, are thinking of having a pet. I have heard many problems recently. So I'll give you advice for the two biggest problems I see as a member of staff of pet hotel.

■Understand characteristics
You should understand about your dog's characteristics, because you can get hints how to treat them. For instance, Collies easily run all of a sudden when they look at something moving, due to their sheepdog instinct. You should care about it, especially while walking them in the street.

■Border and eye contact
This is the most important thing that I want to tell. Don't react or make eye contact with them, especially when you enter a house. If you react, it'll trigger a separation anxiety. What happens next? They can't stand separating from you and will bark continuously to get your attention. Dogs will end up feeling a huge stress. Lately we often stay home while we are even working. Dogs also get used to the situation and the right distance is broken quickly, so this problem can come up.
 
You can love your dog without any special attitude. I would like to say how much important it is to manage the distance between you and dogs know about their behaviour.

1. First, enjoy dancing while listening to the music. If you do that, you'll like it more. It will lead to passion.
2. Start with easy things. For example, steps, footwork, poses and more.
3. Try to challenge the technique. This is difficult, so you should practice it harder everyday. If you can do it , you will be very happy then.
4. Finally, if you want to win, you should create some original movements yourself. I think that it's boring if everyone does the same thing. If you have some original movements, you are so original and can win. Let's try to enjoy dancing!!
KANETSUGU MISHIRO]]> 2020-10-14 14:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/normancborg/k0ri569mfmu9/wish/828747774 Tips for solo travelling women https://padlet.com/normancborg/k0ri569mfmu9/wish/833479836 I have learned from other women or just by myself some tips to be safe along the journey. (be safe but don't be paranoid either!)

Logistics
- First, try to plan ahead your itinirary (flight(s) number, address of the place(s) you will stay in and dates of your journey. Then, send all the information via email to your partner, or a good friend or a family member so they know your whereabouts.

- Do not hesitate to keep in touch with them once a day (email, whathsap, facebook...) so they know you are ok.

- Just in case you lose your cell phone, before leaving your country, remember to write down the telephone number of your emergency contact and the contact information of your hotel.

The foreign culture, customs
- While planning your trip, inform yourself about the culture and the customs of the locals. Especially the way women dress. In fact, in some countries, it might be offensive to wear short a skirt or to show your shoulders.

- Wearing a fake engagement ring can be convenient and deterrent when a man is too pushy. But in case he keeps insisting in getting to know you and you don't feel comfortable, just lie and say that you are waiting for your "partner/ wife/ husband" or family. (it works!)

Also, check online (travel blogs, forum) to know if it is safe for a woman to go out at night by herself. Check also if is it safer to take the taxi than the public transportation (in some countries it is the contrary)

Medical insurance
Lastly,  subscribe to a travel medical insurance (the visa Card or other bank card  is not enough to cover the expenses), especially when you travel in the US where the health care costs are very expensive.

Better safe than sorry and enjoy traveling the world!

]]> 2020-10-15 18:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/normancborg/k0ri569mfmu9/wish/833479836 How to meditate https://padlet.com/normancborg/k0ri569mfmu9/wish/839333918 I will explain how to meditate for busy modern people.
Usually people  think it's difficult to meditate.
But if you focus on only one minute you can perfect your skill. The main purpose of meditation is to relieve anxiety and frustration.
When you need to meditate you can do it anytime.
So you have to know some things before meditating.

1. Whenever you want.
If you are stressed and nervous you can  empty your mind anywhere and any time.

2. Dress comfortably.
It is important to wear comfortable clothes.
If you can't change clothes, try to loosen 
the tight things.

3. Comfortable position. 
Find any position that is comfortable for you.

4. Regularly every day.
You can do it when you wake up in the morning or before going to bed or any other time of the day

5. Close your eyes and breathe.
Meditating is not so difficult. Just concentrate and breathe
Inhale and exhale long and deeply regularly. You will feel the change in your body while breathing.

Tip: For beginners try one minute. When you get used to increase the time gradually.
Olivia ]]> 2020-10-18 23:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/normancborg/k0ri569mfmu9/wish/839333918 How to Play 'Kendo' https://padlet.com/normancborg/k0ri569mfmu9/wish/1693447847 I'm going to explain how to play 'Kendo', which is a kind of Japanese typical sports.
Players  should wear the uniform which is one of the types of Kimono and armour to protect their body from the strong blows.
Players also use bamboo swords to play it and it looks like fencing.
I was a member of a Kendo club when I was a high school student and I'm a member of a Kendo circle in my university now.

1. Firstly, the players have to bow to each other to pay respect.
2. Next, they hold their bamboo sword and face each other.
3. Thirdly, they will start the game
 - Within 4 min
 - Players have to hit effective parts of the body (head, wrist, throat and stomach)
 - If one of the player gets 2 points first, the player is the winner
 - Players do not only hit the parts of body, but also shout and step on the ground
 - There are three referees and the judgment is approved if two-thirds of them agree
 - Players have to express their motivation to fight
4. Players will bow again when the match is over

I hope this explanation will help you to understand Kendo:)

Usually it is carved on metal, stone, etc. The topics are very rich, like characters, animals, and plants can be used. It uses lines to express characters and patterns. Now let's take a look at its creative process.

*First, choose a stone in the shape of a cube.

*To design an artistic draft, we can start with designing your name. We mostly use ancient Chinese writing styles.

*When designing, I consider whether to engrave raised or sunken patterns. Since you need white lines, you have to carve the lines into grooves. Make thick lines.

*Write the design pattern on the top of the stone. Please pay attention that it should be written as a mirror image, so that when you print the pattern on the paper, it looks correct.

*Then, etch carefully with a carving knife. When you are finished, be sure to wipe the stone clean, then dip in the red inkpad so that your inkpad won’t be contaminated.

*Finally, press hard on the paper to get your name stamp.

In programming, there is a word "algorithm'".
it is like a process, a procedure.
It might sound difficult that but it's easy to think about that. The same is true of your everyday lives.
For example, you have to get 10 cartons of milk.
To solve in the best way, what do you do?
I guess many people probably go to the grocery store and get 10 cartons of milk there but there might be some people who get one carton of milk and go home and the get pne other carton of milk and go home and so on and so on...
What I want to say is there are several ways to solve it.
In programming, you are required the best way and you are required to write code as short as possible because programming sentence (programming code) is incredibly long.
(A)
1.Go to grocery store
2.Getting 10 cartons of milk
3.Come back home.

(B)
1.I go to the grocery store.
2.Get one carton of milk.
3.Come back home.
4.Go again to the grocery store
5.Get one cartoon of milk.
6.Come back home.
....... :(

Like that, I think you can see which way is the best to do it.
Programming is always required the way like (A).
You can also write code that is like (B) but if you see the actual code, it will make you not want to do it.
This is a basic idea of programming and this is called 'algorithm': how to solve the problem.

It gets dangerous when you get used to driving, because you become over-confident. You have to concentrate whenever using a car.
 
1.     Follow the speed limit
Though it’s nothing special, some people exceed the speed limit, especially when they are in a hurry. If you are in a situation like this, don’t step on the accelerator. Keep to the law before keeping to time.
 
2.     Use the indicator
Sometimes I encounter people who don’t use the indicator. It’s really dangerous when a car in front suddenly turns left.
 
3.     Keep your phone in your pocket
A smartphone is also one of the reasons for accidents. If your parents, friends or manager give you a call, you shouldn’t answer. It makes you get careless.
 
Following these tips, enjoy driving!!!
