Have you experienced being with a pug? Well, I have encountered it before and it really wonders me to its stubborn yet outgoing personality. This time I'm not gonna tell you about how pugs look like or their physical traits rather I'm gonna share simple things about them that make them such an amazing pet. Basically, pugs are outgoing and friendly that is why they can get along with other dog breeds and even with other animals. However, they get jealous easily so we must be extra careful in giving attention to other pets and discern the things that make them feel jealous. Jealousy is always an issue for them. Pugs are great choice for a family pets same with beagle as I mentioned before to my previous post. Anyway, beagles are good hunting dogs since they always love to chase rabbits while pugs are good watchdogs since they bark quickly at anything that gets closer to the house.


Pugs are not only good as family pets but also for those who are bachelors or living alone in apartments or condos. They do not require a lot of space for your small home because of their small size and they are good companions since pugs are playful and affectionate by nature.

Classic Volkswagen Beetle
This time I wanna share one of the things which I really love the most and passionate into is Volkswagen Beetle Car. This lovely car also referred to as VW Bug, it is one of the most well known classic car in the history. The word “volkswagen” literally means “people's car” and this idea came from Adolf Hitler in 1924 while he was in prison.
Today, Volkswagen (VW) is not only known for manufacturing beetle cars but it also manufactures other car models. VW is consider as one of the biggest car manufacturers in Europe. Anyway, this simple VW Bug can be seen over the world and it is known for its unique silhouette design. Basically, VW bug is a small form of car, however the interior is spacious. Originally designed to be reliable yet affordable, it is common to hear testimonials of the durability and reliability of this so-called VW bug.


1966 Volkswagen Bug
As technology advancement becomes widespread especially is automobile industry many changes were made to VW Bug. However, the size is still the same while engine power and tire size varied over time. Over its lifetime VW Bug eventually resulted in certain derivative designs being made for different usage and purpose.

I have very fond memories of Tenterden Book Fair, although my memory is undecided as to when I first went there – some time during university? Before then? Anyway, like parties, I was always going for more than the Book Fair itself. I was going for Waitrose; I was going for the magnificent journey through the Kent countryside, which takes in an isolated house surrounded by poplar trees; I was going for the independent gift shops. I was going to feel posh, basically.
And the meatloaf. Oh, the meatloaf. After browsing round the stalls, it would be time for a cup of tea served from a Brown Betty pot, and a slice of meatloaf smothered in gravy and accompanied by mash and greens. It was as if I’d stumbled into an HE Bates novel.

We’ve been spared having to watch Jeremy Lin’s couch at the dunk contest

 

Jeremy Lin and Iman Shumpert connect in a more meaningful way (Getty Images)
As we enter an All-Star weekend that is going to be just about nearly free of Jeremy Lin stories save for his appearance at Friday's Rising Star's Challenge, it's worth wondering if it might be time to start appreciating Lin less as this incredible pro sports phenomenon, and more as a pretty darn good guard for a Knicks team hoping to overcome a disappointing start to the season. Exhibit A came on Wednesday night, when Lin came through with a solid night in New York's win over the Atlanta Hawks, but in front of a local viewing audience whose numbers actually rivaled the pre-Lin era Knicks from last month.
[ Related: Y! News: Jeremy Lin e-books flood the market ]
Then there was the news that Knicks guard Iman Shumpert -- who was scheduled to be a part of Saturday's dunk contest before injuries got in the way -- revealed that he was attempting to persuade Lin to aid him in the props department of his performance with the semi-famous couch that Lin slept on before the Knicks guaranteed his contact for the year. The world, collectively, yawned. Or, sick of the story thanks to jerks like me, even treated it as a bit of a relief. Here's Shumpert from the New York Post:
Knicks rookie guard Iman Shumpert, who officially pulled out of the Slam Dunk contest yesterday because of tendinitis in his knee, admitted to The Post he had a "Linsane'' trick up his sleeve.

Yes, he and Jeremy Lin had talked about doing a dunk in which Shumpert would vault over a couch — the symbol of Lin's humble sleeping conditions.
"He was going to help me out,'' Shumpert told The Post. "Once my knee was so sore, I started thinking about it: 'Am I going to be able to jump over the couch?' All kinds of things to think about.''

(Image: Master Wu Xiaoping with her grandfather Grandmaster Wang Ziping)
I have talked about the legendary Muslim Martial Artist Grandmaster Wang Ziping a few times before.  The grandchildren of Grandmaster Wang Ziping have carried on the family tradition. The website Wu Yi Jie He Family System of Chinese Healing and Martial Arts has some information about members of his family who have carried on the tradition. Interestingly enough they have now dispersed to other parts of the globe so that some of the family members now reside in Canada and the US. In fact Master Wang Ziping’s wife moved to Texas later in her life and was instrumental in the development of Wushu in the United States. The granddaughters of Master Ziping also teach martial arts in Canada and thus it is possible for people based in Toronto to directly learn from an important family in the recent history of Wushu.

It had been a few years since we celebrated Valentine’s Day properly, so I was determined to do it right this year. I had so much fun planning and preparing our celebration.  About half way through a lovely candlelight dinner, I said, “We need to do this monthly. We need a Family Love Day!”  I presented my idea and everyone wholeheartedly agreed.
So I propose that  you all consider….. FAMILY LOVE DAY
It’s simple.
Cook an extra nice dinner. (Even work together to plan and cook a special meal.)
Decorate the table. (Perhaps pick a theme and get everyone involved in making decorations.)
Give gifts to each other. (Draw names from a hat the week before so that everyone is prepared to give their “person” a gift.)
Gift ideas: the gift of words (letters, pictures, or song), gift of time or service via a gift homemade gift card, a hand made gift, a white elephant gift, a dollar store gift…. Get creative and have fun!
And then enjoy a Family Activity: a dance party, a game night, a scavenger hunt, a family Skype visit with out-of-town relatives. When the weather is nice: an evening walk, chalk drawing on the sidewalk together, a back yard field day, a camp fire….whatever you do, make it about quality time together.
This Valentine’s Day we had a Justin Beiber Dance Party….

The word Matriarchy conjures up images of a culture where women have total control of men and total control of the society and everything that goes on within it. Which is not true. Matriarchy is not the exact opposite of Patriarchy. In a Patriarchal society, women are repressed and are not allowed simple freedoms that we take for granted today. Men actually do have power over everything and even a woman's word is deemed foolish and unimportant. In a Matriarchal society, women have power, but so do men, there is no repressing of the other therefore making it an egalitarian, or equal, society. There are many authors, archaeologists and anthropologists alike who say that a matriarchal society never existed. I think this is a little closed minded, as there have been hundreds and hundreds of cultures before us that lived for thousands of years. Is it really impossible to think that maybe some of those cultures could have been matriarchal?

Along with the term Matriarchy, we have Matrilineal, where the lineage goes through the woman instead of the man, and Matrilocal, which means that when a man and a woman get married, they live with the bride's family instead of the grooms family. Even though some scholars dont want to believe in Matriarchal societies, it has been proven that there were some in history. For example the Iroquois Indians were said to live in a matriarchal society. Where women and mothers had political influence, could fight in battle, grow crops, among many other liberties. Author Doug George-Kanentiio in his book "Women are the Center of Iroquois Life", writes that "Nature, we believe, has given women the ability to create; therefore it is only natural that women be in positions of power to protect this function."

There has been evidence to suggest that in parts of India, Asia, Celtic societies and indigenous tribes had matriarchal societies. It is very well known that ancient Celtic women had equal power and influence to men. They fought in war, made important decisions and had property ownership. Celtic women were known to be fierce warriors fighting right beside their men in battle, the most famous of these warrior women is Queen Boudicca of the Iceni. The Picts of Scotland were said to be a Matriarchal or Matrilineal society as well. Although not much is known about these great and fierce people, this little fact was said to be recorded by Roman historians.

There are also some animals that operate in matriarchal societies, like lions. It is a proven fact that lions live in a Matriarchal society. The Lionesses do the hunting, general protection of the tribe, taking care of the cubs and many other duties. The male lions have their place though, as they are used to take down big game, and for protection of the tribe from another male lion trying to take over. The Lionesses also outnumber the male Lions by alot. Therefore allowing the male to breed many times to create a larger tribe.
Author Heide Goettner-Abendroth, is known for her extensive research into matriarchal societies. She goes on to say in one of her published papers, "Matriarchies are all egalitarian at least in terms of gender—they have no gender hierarchy, that, for many matriarchal societies, the social order is completely egalitarian at both local and regional levels". This theory that a Matriarchal society is in all actuality, an egalitarian society, has been proven many times over. So it could never be the opposite of Patriarchy.

Some other cultures, which were Goddess based, like ancient Crete were said to live in an egalitarian society as well, where the divine feminine was revered. Men and women each had their duties and they lived in a happy and peaceful society. The Goddess in Crete was personified in the land and her sacred creatures. For example, mountains and caves were seen as some of Her sacred places, and bees, serpents and bulls were seen as some of Her sacred animals.

For more info on Matriarchal cultures check out the book "Societies of Peace" by Heide Goettner-Abendroth.

I hope you enjoyed learning a little something about Matriarchy!
