What can I do about my Sheltie barking constantly when we run an agility course?
this. However, we only take 1 class a week and can practice on actual agilitiy courses twice a week. I've set up some make shift obstacles ( a tunnel and some hurdles) to practice the run thru. I can't afford the obstacles though. She could benefit from some private lessons (so could I). Most of our problems seem to be because of me being a novice. All the trainer say she's an absolute natural and could really do well in competition but it's me that needs to learn! I NEED TO REALLY LEARN ON HOW TO HAVE HER FINISH THE COURSE WITHOUT COMING BACK TO ME AND WAITING FOR ME! AG 1 courses (the beginning level) are very straight forward especially at the end so she needs to just learn to finish up. After all, they stop the clock when she finishes not me, right??? AND HOW DO I DEAL WITH THIS NERVE WRECKING BARKING??? I'm going to go insane! I can't scold her 'cause she's doing the course correctly and she'll get confused. ANY SUGGESTIONS? Thanks for any advice. I really (cont'd)
Anyone a black belt in Tae Kwon Do??? I got a weird question???
I think you can take her. I'll tell you why A. The spelling is a big indicator. If the person is a black belt, and they still can't spell the art in question: That may be a problem. I don't know her though. B. A black belt knows to limit speaking about the practice of Martial Arts. I'm unfortunately in a situation where people found out, but your goal is to avoid fights at all costs: She shouldn't be looking for trouble. The attacks are the last resort. C. Everyone is right about the school. For all we know she might be from a mcdojo, and that means she may not be prepared as much as you think. If you do end up in an altercation: If you are good at catching strikes, you might be ok. Just try to catch and counter. You are taller as well, which may give you the advantage of keeping her far from you. If you can, try to avoid it, or get some help from authorities, et cetera...
What's the point of running the football instead of throwing the ball to a receiver?
There are a few things needed to ubderstand in order to understand my answer. In football you are supposed to get to the endzone. You have 4 downs to get 10 yards but the 4th down is usually a punt or feild goal so you really have 3 downs.Going for the 30 yards pass is great, but if you’re playing a team with a secondary like the Seattle Seahawks or the Arizona Cardinals, passing can be very risky and lead to numerous interceptions. The ideal play is a passing play because it gains the most yards but the completion percentage of a quarterback can show that for some teams only 60% of pass plays work.Run plays, however, are a totally different topic and are used to achieve a different goal. If you are playing a team with all-star defensive backs but with beginner line backers and linemen you can run all over them. If you are playing a team that is good all around, running more often can wear down their defense. Another reason to running the ball is for minor gains. There is no time limit so a team can run as often as they like as long as they reach the first down marker. While you do have a point when you say just go for the big yardage gains, the ball is more likely to be thrown incomplete or get picked off when thrown comparred to getting fumbled while running it. A good runningback knows that as long as he is getting 5–7 yards a carry, he is going his job and helping his team.Having the ability to run the ball, while is may not directly win games, can have a huge impact on the opposing team.In short, running the ball can be more phisically straining to an opposing team, create a “dual threat” (throwing and running), and can pick up more short yardage, more efficiently and more reliably.
Without sounding silly, why don't quarterbacks just throw the ball nearly every time, instead of handing it off only to have the receiver get smashed just a few yards away?
There are only 150–300 passing plays in your playbook. Putting aside the defense keying in on your playcalling (you can bet their safeties are never going to bite on the line of scrimmage, their best pass rushers will be in, and their best pass defenders will be on the field on every down), there's a finite number of unique pass plays you can run. If you run 90 plays a game, which is a lot, every pass play in your playbook will be on display before a third of the season is over. Considering how many route concepts are dependent on the formations you line up in (trips, doubles, stacked, etc), coordinators will be reading you like a book. You also have a certain subset of third down passing plays and home run plays. You don't want to be cavalier about the way you call these. Every one of them will be on film for teams you'll face later in the season.Playcalling is about deception. The goal is to exploit matchups. If you see an outside linebacker cheating on an outside run, call a play action and hit them with a hi-lo read. Conversely if you see a LB who is slow to react to outside runs, you want to take advantage of their poor awareness. If you see an aggressive secondary that bites on slants and digs, hit them with a sluggo on your home run play. If the opposition knows exactly what you're going to be doing on every down, you're gonna have a bad time.Additionally, a four yard gain on the ground might seem relatively ineffective, but the clock continues to run. Incomplete passes stop the clock. There is no better, more effective way of killing the clock and taking time away from the other team than a long, 6–8 minute scoring drive led by an effective rushing attack and a few key third down conversions. Time of possession is something you want to think about when you call plays. Instead of maximizing big play attempts downfield. These longer drives also give your defense much needed rest and reduces the amount of time they'll have to spend on the field.
Will the Philippines "EVER" become a developed country?
After World War II, the Philippines was the second most developed country in Asia (after Japan). We had the US as allies, spoke english and had other advantages other countries didn't. Now it is a 3rd world country, while countries like Japan, Korea Singapore, Hong Kong have surpassed the Philippines economically. I don't think the Philippines will ever become a 1st world country and here is why: 1) Overpopulation- No matter how much the economy grows, the country can't keep up with population growth. People having 9 or 10 kids doen't really do much for the country. Does this country even have a Planned Parenthood??? 2) "BAHALA NA"- People here could care less about anything!! They always say "bahala na" and don't take care of things. People just wait and wait to get things done. When you tell someone to get something done they just look at you and say "bahala na", and can care less about the rest of the day. 3) No sense of urgency- People in the PI have "NO SENSE OF URGENCY". They walk so slow, don't worry about anything, and don't seem to be concerned with time management. I go somewhere with people there and leave them behind because they walk so slow as if they were just born lazy. In other 1st world countries, people are in a hurry, people have appointments, and there is a sense of urgency to get things done on time. 4) Crime- People in the PI constantly steal all the time. Whether its corruption or getting mugged on the street. Its ridiculous just how much crime is rampant around the PI. I'm starting to think that this is just part of the culture. As if it were just the NORM around there. 5) CULTURE- I just think the reasons above are just a way of life. It will never really change because that is what makes the country what it is. And of course, PEPOLE COULD CARE LESS!!! Anyways, what are your thoughts? Do you think the Philippines will ever become like Singapore, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, or China?
