What are Geometric Shapes

What are Geometric Shapes A geometric shape is formed by joining various line segments together and the study of these geometric shapes comes under the section of Geometry in Mathematics. When a geometric shape is formed, it consists of different measurements such as the side length, angle measure, area, perimeter etc. These measurements are very helpful in analyzing the given geometric structure accordingly. There are 2-dimensional geometric shapes such as square, rectangle, triangle etc. and 3-dimensional shapes such as cube, sphere, cylinder, pyramid, prism etc. Example 1: Calculate the area of a triangle which has base side of length 6 cm and height of 9 cm? Triangle is a geometric shape which has 3 sides. The area of the triangle is = 1/2 *(base)* (height) Given: Base length of the triangle, b = 6cm Height of the triangle, h = 9cm This gives, Area of the triangle, A = 1 /2 * 6 cm * 9 cm = 27 cm2. Therefore, area of the given triangle is 27 cm2 Example 2: Calculate the area and perimeter of the rectangle with dimensions 4m and 3m? Rectangle is geometric shape with 4 sides. The given rectangle has dimensions 4m and 3m respectively. Given: Length, l = 4m; Width, w = 3m. Area of rectangle = length * width The area of rectangle is = 4m * 3m = 12m2. The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width) The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(4 + 3) = 2 * 7 = 14m. Hence, area = 12m2 and perimeter = 14m.

Promote-able skills - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Promote-able skills - Introvert Whisperer Promote-able skills Leadership skills will get you promoted faster and will position you for continued success along with job satisfaction. This a core fact that many people simply don’t realize, even if they have no intention of “being in charge”. What are the Leadership skills I’m talking about? I’m going to list the Leadership skills I outline in the Leadership training I do but I’m only going to discuss a few of them because I think they are the most important ones.   That doesn’t mean you get a pass on the others but I think it’s good to know where to start focusing your skill building. Leadership Skills Positive Committed to a result Influential (social) Takes responsibility Shows Initiative Deliberately gets Involved See’s what possible â€" thinks about Improvement Has a vision Communicates Relationship developer; reads people Motivates by engaging Takes responsibility â€" A person that is being responsible for things in the workplace is first and foremost accountable for their own work and results.   They will also expand to become responsible for the work and actions of others as they step up and seek to lead work efforts or projects.   Taking responsibility for your own results is huge because a lot of people look for reasons why they didn’t do something well rather than doing what it takes to ensure a great outcome.   Anyone who can’t be accountable for the outcome of his or her own work will never go anywhere professionally.   They let situations occur that turn them into victims rather than do everything they can.   The same mentality exists by being accountable for the work of others. Shows Initiative â€" This is defined as: An individuals action that begins a process, often done without direct managerial influence. Notice the key words here and that is “without direct managerial influence”.   In other words, you don’t need the boss to be telling you what to do all the time.   They also don’t want to be directing all the time anyway as they have other things that will make better use of their time.   Think of it like this: The CEO of your company isn’t waiting to be told what to do.   When a person takes initiative in the workplace I can promise you that almost no one does this and it will make you an easy, positive standout. Deliberately gets involved â€" Employees that step up to solve problems or take ownership of projects are signs of leadership.   Again, it’s fairly rare to see so it scores high in the hearts of minds of decision makers. Communicates â€" Communication is the weak spot in almost all groups and for most people.   Communicating is one of the easiest of all of these skills to do.   Decision makers love a free flow of information about work, business and projects rather than trying to extract it from the people who are doing the work but its how the majority of people operate.   If you communicate consistently and proactively you will be uppermost in the hearts and minds of management. Wheww!   I could spend hours talking about this stuff but I’ll stop here.   This is important information if you have any ambitions professionally. Get started now.

Angle Bisector

Angle Bisector An angle bisector can be defined as the line segment which divides the given angle into two equal parts. If in a triangle there will be three angle bisectors. If we draw the angle bisectors in a triangle the intersection of the angle bisectors is called as the in-center of the triangle. Using the in-centre of a triangle we can draw the in-circle of a triangle. In-centre of the triangle is represented by the letter I.For example there is an angle that is angled ABC which makes an angle at B 80 degrees. Now the line BD is dividing the given angle into two equal parts such as angle ABD is 40 degrees and angle DBC is 40 degrees. Now BD can be called as the angular bisector of angle ABC. Following are the examples based on the concept of angle bisectors. Example 1:Given that angle ABC is given as 140 degrees, and BD is an angle bisector to then find out the angles after the bisector is divided the angle ABC. Solution:The given angle is ABC is 140 degrees now the angles made after the BD cuts the angle is angle ABD is 70 and DBC is 70 degrees. Example 2:Given that the angle is PQR is 70 degrees and QS is angle bisector find out the angles. Solution: - Given that PQR is 70 degrees now if QS cuts the angle then the angles made are PQS is 35 degrees and angle SQR is 35 degrees.

How to Sequence a Yin Yoga Class

How to Sequence a Yin Yoga Class The Optimal Sequencing for a Yin Yoga Session ChaptersWhat is Yin Yoga?Yin Yoga ParticularsThe Ideal Sequence of Asana for Yin YogaIn this fast-paced world, we are conditioned to want the most, the best… the greatest yield in the shortest time at the lowest cost, in whatever we do.Yin yoga is not any of that, at least on the surface.You won’t get a burn while practising yin yoga as you would with more dynamic styles. Indeed, you might wonder what yin yoga practitioners get out of holding the same pose for up to twenty minutes!And if such practitioners hardly move at all during their sessions, why would there be a sequence of movements to optimise its beneficial effects?If you have any experience practising yoga, you must know that its benefits are mostly internal. You won’t build amazing muscle mass no matter how many warrior poses you adopt.However, by practising yoga, you will develop a nice muscle tone and no one could be upset or frustrated with that.Where does yin yoga fit in, then? If you already have a yoga routine you are satisfied with, you may not see the need to also embrace yin yoga â€" in fact, many avid yoga practitioners aver they were not initially enthusiastic about practising yin yoga.A statement that begs the question: did they change their minds?Your Superprof now heads into the studio, unrolls their mat and divulges the secrets of yin yoga before taking you, pose by pose, through an ideal sequence. Yin yoga is a yoga practice that calls for bolsters and blocks Image by anja828 from PixabayHatha yoga, one of the most popular styles of yoga practised in the west, combines both of those themes, the net result being a solid mind-body connection, the effects of which can be both felt and seen almost immediately.Yin yoga delivers far subtler results.This type of yoga targets deep tissues such as joints, ligaments and fascia â€" the wafer-thin sheath around each of your muscles, for example.These connective tissues can become damaged when stressed or injured and, as our bodies age, they become less flexible.Many of yin yoga’s poses (asana) focus on those tissues surrounding your joints â€" in your hips, for example, and around your spine and especially the sacrum.You don’t have to be advanced in age or recovering from a traumatic injury to benefit from yin yoga; in fact, practising yin yoga before you notice any loss of flexibility would be ideal!Besides, if you are recovering fro m a serious injury, perhaps restorative yoga is the style you need right now…Yin Yoga ParticularsAs with every type of yoga, the focus for yin yoga is threefold: asanas â€" what we usually call poses, breath control or pranayama, and meditation.In yin yoga, meditation is perhaps more pertinent than for other types of yoga, in part because one holds positions for far longer than, say, in Ashtanga yoga or Bikram yoga.Also, while other types of yoga call for poses that range from standing â€" as in the tree pose or sun salutation poses to floor positions such as the lotus pose, yin yoga is all done at floor level.You might wonder where the challenge is; after all, the child’s pose is so comfortable and instinctive that holding it would hardly seem to be work at all!Yang yogas â€" the more active types of yoga, emphasise the depth of a move but yin yoga advocates for extending the length of time each pose is held rather than the intensity or depth of it.That is why yin yoga practiti oners have relatively few asanas in their session and hold each one for several minutes.If you happen to be observing a class of yin yoga practitioners, you may find some yogis going deeper into each pose. You should know that it is because they are just that well attuned to their body.They are not pushing themselves unduly and, if you are not yet comfortable with that depth of movement, you should hold off going deep until you are. Sitting cross-legged is the first of only a few yoga postures in yin yoga Image by Irina Logra from PixabayThe Comfortable EdgeThe essence of yin yoga is positioning yourself in such a way that you are aware of the part of your body targeted by the asana but the pose is not painful for you.  Finding the pain is not what yin yoga is about!A defining characteristic of yin yoga is finding the line between awareness of your body and pain at it being stressed.You should embrace the sensation of your hip loosening up but, if you start feeling painful twinges, that would be a sign that you need to ease back a bit.With that firmly in mind, let’s look at which asanas feature in yin yoga and how best to sequence them.Did you know that Iyengar yoga, Vinyasa yoga and power yoga all require the yoga teacher to create sequences but in Bikram yoga classes, the sequence is firmly set and followed in every class?The Ideal Sequence of Asana for Yin YogaYin yoga is best done with props so, if you hav e a block, make sure you place it within easy reach of your mat.If you don’t (yet) have any blocks, you may use a pillow or a folded blanket. No need to worry; we’ll indicate when you might want to use it!Seat yourself on your mat, tailor-style. If this position is not yet comfortable for you, you might sit on your block, pillow or blanket to take the stress off your hip joints.The session starts with a meditation of the breath: focus on breathing in and out. If you are new to yin yoga, you may find that counting your breaths will help focus your attention on them.After 1-3 minutes of focused breathing, move into the butterfly pose: the soles of your feet together, legs relaxed; no pressure on your hips. Lean forward, bringing your head as close to your ankles as possible.If needed, you may place your yoga block on your ankles to rest your head on it. If you are just beginning yoga, only hold this pose for one minute; less if you need to ease out of it.Next is the half-shoelace pose.Extend your right leg in front of you; bring your left leg over it, folding your calf back so that your foot points toward your hip. Lean forward as far as possible (if possible), using your block to rest your forehead on if needed.Hold the pose for only one minute, and then switch legs: your left leg is now extended and your right overlaps it, with your right foot pointed back. Again, lean forward, holding for only one minute.As you become more flexible, you may extend the time you hold each of these poses but, remember: at the first twinge of pain, ease off! Of all the yoga poses, this child's pose may be the best-known Image by StockSnap from PixabayContinuing to breathe deeply, assume the child’s pose but with a slight modification: instead of your arms reaching forward, position them so that your hands are close to your feet.As comfortable as this pose is, hold it for one minute before flowing into our next pose: the straddle.Torso straight up, legs spread as wide as possible. If you can, lower your torso over your right leg. Here too, you may use a block or bolster.Hold for a minute and then move into a centre straddle; head/torso bent forward. Finally, lower your head over your left leg.Relax, and then move into the classic child’s pose: arms extended in front of you.If you are in a beginners yoga class, your session may end there but, if you have been practising yin yoga for a while, you may add these asanas:the sphinx pose: elbows at 90 degrees, torso raised, hips and legs flat on the floorthe seal pose: from the sphinx positi on, push your hands into the mat and straighten your armsthe happy baby pose: it feels as delightful as it sounds!The reclined spinal twist: shoulders on the mat, twist your hips so that the inside of your right knee is laying on the left side of the mat.You may use a block to support your knee.savasana: lay supine, legs comfortably spread and arms relaxed along the body. You may choose your palms to rest comfortably either up or downRemember: if any of these asanas prove too strenuous for you, ease back to the point that you feel your body stretching but it is not painful to do so.As you become more flexible, you may prolong the time that you hold each position from one to three, even five minutes. After all, hold time is one of the principal tenets of yin yoga.To make it easier for you to get started, we’ve organised all of these poses into an easy-to-reference table for you to print, clip and position next to your yoga mat as a guide.Yin Yoga Asanas in Order:DescriptionPosetail or-fashion; focus on breathseatedsoles of feet together, knees as close to 90 degrees as possible; hands near your toes.

Even when it comes to boxing you could choose traditional boxing, Thai boxing, kick-boxing, or savate. There are several types of boxing and you need to choose the one you enjoy the most. (Source: Claudio_Scott)In any case, you’ll learn how to take care of yourself. However, even an adept boxer needs to be careful when attacked as excessive use of force could land them in a lot of trouble. If you use excessive force on an attacker, you can be found guilty and not the attacker.In any case, you still need to choose which type of boxing you’d like to do.  You may want to consider attending a trial session or a free session for a few different types of boxing. You might also want to check when the lessons are scheduled. Go and find out which ones you like the most.Savate, or French boxing, is different from traditional boxing as you’re allowed to kick your opponent.  Kick-boxing includes aspects of Asian martial arts (such as Thai boxing and Taekwondo) and allows kicks, punches, and knees. Thai boxing allows any type of attack as long as you don’t hit your opponent in the genitals .Some types of boxing have a more aesthetic nature to them (kick-boxing and Thai boxing) whereas the European variations of boxing tend to have a greater emphasis on striking your opponent.Find out more about becoming a professional boxer.How Much Should a Boxer Train?This is one of the most common questions asked by aspiring boxers. You might be surprised at how much boxers train. (Source: fancycrave1)Most competitors train for between 3 and 5 hours a day five times a week. This means that you only have two days off a week from training.Typical training may include:Jogging and squats: 30 to 60 minutesWarm-ups: 30 minutesPunching bag exercises: 30 to 60 minutesTechnical exercises: 30 minutesSparring: 30 minutesStrength training: 60 minutesStretches and cool down: 30 minutesThis is a total of five hours across the day.  You need to know that the human body can’t be at the top of its game the whole time.  After intense exercise, your muscles fill with lactic acid as the result of a chemical reaction, which can hinder your performance.This is what we call the anaerobic threshold (AT).  This is the point where your body switches from aerobic exercise to anaerobic exercise.  Your body can only perform anaerobically for a limited amount of time, which means you need to ensure you still have something left in the tank of your other exercises. Coaches and trainers definitely won’t make you go beyond what you’re capable of as this drastically increases your risk of injury.It’s important to train as part of a team.

In professional boxing, there’s no body protection.  You need to keep your guard up, dodge attacks, and deal with the attacks that land.  You don’t want to become a human punching bag, after all.How can you become a champion if you can’t take a hit?The fear of being hit is something every fighter has to get over. After all, it†™s natural to not want to be hurt.  You need to anticipate attacks and dodge them. Similarly, your natural reaction is to lower your head and close your eyes, which means you won’t be able to see any of the following attacks   This is a vicious cycle as the fear of getting hit will cause you to get hit and before you know it, you’ll be down.Don’t start by fighting a boxer who’s much bigger, heavier, and stronger than you!  Your sparring partner will help you get over the fear of being hit.  It’s recommended that you spar with somebody with a similar level to you so that you get used to being hit.  This will give you time to train yourself to react appropriately.This type of training can also help you work on your footwork, movement, and breathing.  Heavy defeats can also leave you with a fear of being hit. Your training needs to progressively build towards getting over this.Muscle Building Exercises for BoxersAt the end of most boxing training sessions, you often have push -ups, burpees, or sit-ups to do. Here’s some advice for getting them right. To be ready for fights, you need to improve your physique and build muscle. (Source: christopherwchiu)Push-Ups for BoxersYou need to have your back and shoulders straight. Don’t lift your hips. Your body, from your head to your toes, needs to form a straight line. Your legs, toes, and heels need to be locked.  Your hands can’t be too far up past your shoulders. The gap between your hands needs to be a little wider than your shoulders.There are two types of push-ups: those for your pectorals, with your hands apart and your elbows facing outwards, and those for your triceps, with your hands closer together and your elbows by your side as you go down.Your head needs to line up with your spinal column.Sit-Ups for BoxersSit-ups work on the central part of your torso, which is essential if you want to box well.  This can help you not only throw better punches but also take punches more effectively. There are a few ways to work on your abs.For example, sit down on a comfortable and stab le surface. Bend your knees (a partner can hold your feet) and start sitting up and breathing out as you do. Generally, your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle with your feet flat on the floor.  Finally, your hands shouldn’t have much impact on your exercise.  You can place them either behind your head, across your torso, etc., but make sure they aren’t helping you raise your shoulders off the ground.There you have it! You now know more about training to become a professional boxer... Now for the hard part.Whether you're looking for boxing classes, boxing workouts, or boxing tutorials, consider looking to boxing gyms, leisure centres, or get help from one of the many talented tutors and coaches on Superprof.  Before you pick your private tutor, there are several things that you'll need to carefully think about. Firstly, no two tutors are alike and you need to pick the one that'll help you to get the most out of your training and set on you on the path to glory. Secondly, there are three main types of tutorial available from the tutors on Superprof, face-to-face tutorials, online tutorials, and group tutorials, and you need to pick the one that's right for you.Face-to-face tutorials are between you and your tutor or coach. They'll work alongside you, tailor the sessions to you and your goals, and give you their undivided attention. They'll often also work outside of your sessions on planning and preparing your training.Online tutorials tend to be cheaper than face-to-face tutorials since the tutor doesn't have to travel to each of their students or clients and can schedule more tutorials per week.Finally, group tutorials have the coach teaching several clients at once. Unlike the other two types of tutoring, however, you won't have your coach's undivided attention.

English English Words and Phrases connected to Shopping ??

English English Words and Phrases connected to Shopping ?? Unless you have been living in a bubble  (cut off from the world!) for the past few years or on another  planet you will have heard or experienced the joys of Black Friday. Black Friday is about serious shopping. So let’s practise today some English words  and phrases connected to shopping.  I have a long list for you. English Words and Phrases connected to Shopping Black Friday  (dedicated to retail shopping in the malls and shopping centres) is the day immediately  after the American thanks giving day which is usually the 4th Thursday in November. If you are like me and you really despise  (hate) shopping then  unfortunately the next week will be a problem as the TV, internet and newspapers will be focusing  on Black Friday and Cyber Monday  (dedicated to online shopping) as the beginning of the Christmas  and New Year shopping seasons.These days are a magnet  (big attraction) for those shopaholics   (people who love to shop  continuously) among us who love to shop till they drop (keep shopping until they are tired or run  out of money or both!). Some retailers downplay  (try to reduce its importance) the importance of  Black Friday as they feel it prevents people from shopping normally right up to Xmas and they think  whilst people spend a lot of money on the actual day they spend less overall up to Christmas Day. However, for those in pursuit of  (chasing/hunting/searching for) the perfect Christmas present or gift  then this is a truly wonderful event. The 4 days from thanksgiving Thursday up to and including  Cyber Monday are a shoppers paradise  (place for the most pleasure!). They can pursue their hobby,  enjoy their retail therapy  (relaxing by going to the shops) and spend money they often do not have.These four days are usually a time when people go bargain hunting and the retailers will attract the  shopper with some interesting bargains to entice  (attract) the customer in to their store. Everybody  is looking for that item they call a steal  (so cheap it is almost like robbery!).Of course, we can enjoy shopping not only on Black Friday. For many people shopping is an enjoyable pastime on the weekend. Shopping is one the favourite hobbies in the UK. What other English words  and phrases connected to shopping  can we use?   English Shopping Vocabulary - Infographic Enjoyed this infographic?

Window dressing refers specifically to how we dress up a presentation to make it look better or bigger. It can be easily dismissed by someone looking for more detail.Ex. I presented the report as requested by my boss.  I was under a bit of pressure and there was not as much detail as i would have liked.  My boss read it and said that i needed to do it again. There was too much window dressing and not enough fact!SHOP TILL YOU DROPwhen you are really in to shopping and enjoy the moment you can shop all day and not feel tired in the slightest.Ex. My wife went out early to the shopping centre to buy a new outfit for a wedding. She did not come back until late in the evening weighed down with bags.

This was going to be a real shopping spree.SHOP AROUNDTo compare prices in different shops before you buy somethingex. If you are looking to buy something expensive like a new TV or phone it pays to check the different prices on offer in different stores.  It pays to shop around. English Phrases in the Shop When we go in to a shop we are usually approached by a sales assistant offering to help us with our choices.

Selfies Are Literally Killing People ... Great

Selfies Are Literally Killing People ... Great pexels.com Some of the more ridiculous, tragic deaths include people falling from mountains, falling into rivers, crashing airplanes (in other words, putting more than just their own lives at stake for the “perfect” selfie) and getting hit by trains. In fact, in more recent news, people have also accidentally shot themselves while taking a selfie with a gun. Again, not joking. So of course, such stupidity warrants expert help, which is why a group of computer experts have analyzed these “deaths-by-selfie” and attempted to create a solution. It’s no surprise that the solution is yet another application for users to install on their phones. The app in question would warn individuals that they are in a “death-by-selfie” zone. I can’t stress how much I wish I was making this up. And to make matters worse, this is an international problem. According to Hemank Lamba, from Carnegie Mellon University and Ponnurangam Kumaraguru from the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology and their colleagues, “We found that most common reason of selfie death was height-related. These involved people falling off buildings or mountains while trying to take dangerous selfies.” They wrote these findings in their report, which they published online at arXiv. What were other reasons for selfie-related deaths? The number two cause was a tie between drowning and being hit by a train. For any of you that commute and pass over train tracks at some point, this probably isn’t much of a surprise, as many individuals stop directly on the tracks in bumper to bumper traffic (in a personal experience, the woman behind me did so while talking on her phone. Luckily for her, no train was coming). Not sure if it’s an obliviousness or an “it can’t happen to me” mentality, but this problem is universal, and it’s a problem. According to Kumaraguru, these deaths were becoming a news report trend, and he and his colleagues wanted to do something about it. He attempted to use data mining in order to come up with his solution. According to him, “It is important because people are losing their lives because of taking dangerous selfies.” So what constitutes a “dangerous selfie”? How about a few examples? For one, there’s the German tourist who was killed in Peru. He attempted to catch himself on top of Macchu Picchu back in July and failed. There’s also five women from India who were taking a selfie in India. One of them died in September when she fell into the reservoir below. The other four died shortly after in their attempts to save her. There’s also the man in Washington, here in the U.S., who was taking selfies with his gun. He pulled the trigger, apparently thinking that it wasn’t loaded, and shot himself. And finally, there’s the man in Colorado that died taking a selfie while flying a plane, killing the other passenger in the plane along with him. I think Kumaraguru sums it up correctly in saying, “These are very disturbing.” So how many selfie deaths have there been? According to Kumaraguru and his team after collating media reports around the world, there have been about 127 reported selfie-related deaths between 2014 and September of this year. So he’s been working tirelessly to help fix the problem. According to him, he and the team have been attempting to develop a software that would warn users about their surroundings. Basically, if the user is in a dangerous area, the app would warn them, or it would turn off their camera in risky areas. According to him, “It could help users make better decisions.” The thought is there, the effort is there, but the probability that these “risk-takers” would download such an app is unlikely. Basically, if people are going to take selfies atop mountains, an app isn’t going to stop them from doing so. Or, more simply, they aren’t looking to be censored in their selfie taking, so they won’t ever download the app. However, the team is hopeful and continues to work for this solution. They are researching the areas where selfie deaths have actually occurred as well as areas where there’s potential for selfie-related deaths and they’re creating algorithms for the risk to selfie-takers. According to them, “We believe that the study can inspire and provide footprints for technologies which can stop users from clicking dangerous selfies, and thus preventing more of such casualties.” Whether or not it works, we’ll have to wait and see.
