Top 10 Dangerous Dogs


Top 10 Most Dangerous Dog Breeds


1. Pit Bulls

Pit bulls are very unpredictable and are notorious for their voracious behavior. They are considered dangerous because when they attack, they don’t leave the victim and never loose their hold while biting a person. Their appearance is also very threatening as they have bulky body and weigh 55-65 lbs. Their jaws are too strong that they can kill the victim only with their jaws. They mostly attack on throat which is the most delicate part of human body.







2. Rottweilers

They are calm yet fearless and alert dogs. They only become violent if appropriate training is not given to them or they are maltreated. Their bite force is considered to be very strong. A Rottweiler is self-confident and responds quietly and with a wait-and-see attitude to influences in its environment. It has an inherent desire to protect home and family, and is an intelligent dog of extreme hardness and adaptability with a strong willingness to work, making them especially suited as a companion, guardian and general all-purpose dog.

3. German Shepherds
German Shepherds are highly active dogs, and described in breed standards as self-assured. The breed is marked by a willingness to learn and an eagerness to have a purpose. Shepherds have a loyal nature and bond well with people they know. However, they can become over-protective of their family and territory, especially if not socialized correctly. An aloof personality makes them approachable, but not inclined to become immediate friends with strangers. German Shepherds are highly intelligent and obedient and some people think they require a “firm hand”, but more recent research into training methods has shown they respond as well, if not better, to reward based training methods.

4. Huskies


Huskies are proved very dangerous dogs if suitable training is not given to them. Their eyes resemble to that of wolves. They are very energetic dogs and need lot of bodily exercise. They are mostly kept as watch dogs as they have impulsive behavior and this behavior sometimes stimulate them to attack causing severe injuries. This is the reason they are included in the list of top ten vicious dogs.
Despite of their energy and intelligence this breed is not regarded a good guard dog. It is caused by its kind temperament and personality characteristics.



5. Alaskan Malamutes



This breed requires a lot of exercises to be happy as being bored they become disobedient. On the whole their characteristic features are energy and activity.
The Malamute is generally slower in long-distance dogsled racing against smaller and faster breeds and their working usefulness is limited to freighting or traveling over long distances at a far slower rate than that required for racing. They can also help move heavy objects over shorter distances.



6. Doberman Pinschers


The Doberman Pinscher or Doberman is a breed of domestic dog. Dobermann Pinschers are among the most common of pet breeds, and the breed is well known as an intelligent, alert, and loyal companion dog. Although once commonly used as guard dogs or police dogs, this is less common today. In many countries, Dobermann Pinschers are one of the most recognizable breeds, in part because of their actual roles in society, and in part because of media attention.  Careful breeding has improved the disposition of this breed, and the modern Dobermann Pinscher is an energetic and lively breed suitable for companionship and family life
.
7. Chow Chow
It is one of the most ferocious dogs. These dogs don’t feel a need to abide by every order of their master. These dogs like to be independent and satisfy themselves first that’s why they are very difficult to train. They don’t look brutal by their appearance as they have wrinkled face, furry hair but they can attack you. Moreover, if you try to harm them or their master he will react with threatening rage. They are very smart and intelligent dogs and don’t allow any unfamiliar person to enter into their master’s home.
8. Presa Canario
It is well known that an attack of this guard dog can bring to the death any prey. One of the main features of this dog is fearlessness, huge power and man-stopping ability. 
The head is broad, massive, square, and powerful. Proper head and good expression are part of the breed standard, and are manifest in the best breed specimens. The ears are normally cropped both to create a more formidable expression, and to prevent damage while working with cattle.
9. Boxer

These dogs are intelligent, frisky and full of energy. It is not so easy to train them as they are self-willed breed. In addition, boxers are not typically aggressive by nature.
They like to walk but their master should always keep in mind the leash especially when they are in public because they can show aggression and harm unfamiliar people. In spite of all its characteristics, he still loves and recognizes every member of the family.

How To Be Outrageously Happy


 You can be as happy as you want whenever you want. Zen masters have proven this - all you have to do is just "be" with whatever you have right now. Yeah, I know. Sitting on the floor contemplating your blank space may not be what you're after. Highly successful people are outrageously happy because they have fulfilling ways to meet their values. Values are simply what is most important to you.

Do your values move you towards great possibilities? Is your energy directed towards meeting your values in ways that excite you and make you stronger, capable of going for even more? When you are clear on your values, your vision is bright, and you will feel primed to go for it.

How To Achieve A Big Vision?


  • Get clear on your values
  • Set specific outcomes that stretch you
  • Model outstanding people who have similar achievements
  • Take action and go for it 100%
  • Be aware of what's working and what's not
  • Change your approach until you get your outcome.
Highly Successful Entrepreneurial People
  • They focus on what they want, rather than on what they fear
  • They see what's possible, where others lack vision
  • When they are doing the right thing, they just know it
  • They focus on the big picture, without getting lost in the details
  • They are interested in how to get results now
  • They take massive action and intelligent risks to get what they want.

The Importance of Being Skeptical

One problem that will always face us as human beings is who to believe when presented with a variety of differing viewpoints. Action on these can be drastic, with severe social, economical, and environmental impacts.

We are currently being presented with the future of the planet in our hands. People say that human actions are causing what’s known as “anthropogenic climate change” – basically equating to human CO2 emissions causing an increase in global temperatures.

The problem with this is that world governments are being put under pressure to cut human carbon dioxide emissions, threatening industrial and agricultural sectors when still very little is known about the connection between what we as humans output, and how this affects natural climate cycles.

Kodavas- Need 2 be United


The Kodava population is declining, and its culture is undergoing tremendous changes in recent times. The Kodava population is around one and half lakh of six lakh in Kodagu (the Coorg district in Karnataka, well-known for the birth place of the river Kaveri, and coffee estates) . An equal number of Kodava people are found in the other districts of Karnataka and in major cities of India. The Kodavas are known for their well-knit joint family system, but this system is losing ground.

The Kodava-speaking people in Kodagu include Kodava, Amma Kodava, Airi, Hegade, Banna, Maleya, Koyava, Koleya, Madivala, and others.


There was a time when the attempts being made to bring all the Kodava-speaking communities together suffered a minor setback. Some members of the "Hegade" and "Airi" communities demanded representation in the Karnataka Kodava Sahitya Academy. Members from those communities have been chosen members now. This is seen as a step closer to realising the goal of forging unity.


Some Kodava-speaking communities are of the opinion that they should be declared as Kodavas by the federal Kodava body without being asked to file applications. Some, on the other hand, are waiting eagerly to join the Kodava fold. There is also the possibility that the body concerned, whether Akhila Kodava Samaja or the Federation of Kodava Samajas, is likely to gauge the antecedents of the Kodava-speaking communities before considering their claims. In that case, a relaxation in the rigid rules may be necessary.


The issues before the Kodava linguistic community are really issues that many castes in other regions in India are trying to come to terms with. Should they include sections of society as part of their own, especially when these sections were historically kept out of the major group?

Parents Need 2 Wake UP


Parents send their children out to take up a professional course after spending lakhs of rupees but most of the children go against their parents' wishes and in the end make sure that heir parents put their heads down in shame.


As for the parents who send their childrens to colleges for studies, they should take care and also keep a strict vigil on their wards. Some parents have this habit of just washing off their hands the moment they send their children to college. But this should not be the attitude as you never know what is happening and what is lying in store.

The Appreciation for Coffee


The appreciation for coffee is not unlike an appreciation for wine--the more you know, the more your experience is enhanced. There are four main elements one may notice when drinking coffee. An excellent blend will exhibit all four characteristics and bring them to the taster in a pleasing and well-balanced combination.

Our flavored coffees also exhibit these coffee characteristics--culminating in a complex taste profile. We use a lighter roast for our flavored coffees to create the perfect balance of flavor and coffee character.

Acidity

Not to be confused with bitterness, acidity in coffee brings a pleasant liveliness, sparkle, or snap to the drink that is experienced around the edges of the tongue and towards the back of the mouth. The acidity of a coffee may be assessed as lively, moderate, flat, or dull. A coffee such as our Colombian Supremo will exhibit a bright and pleasant acidity.

Aroma

Aroma is the smell or bouquet of the coffee. Wake up and smell the coffee! Specialty coffee will exhibit a complex floral aroma as does Gloria Jean's Special Blend.

Body
Coffee professionals refer to this as "mouth feel." It is the impression of lightness or of weight one experiences when drinking coffee. A full bodied coffee such as Gloria Jean's French Roast is sure to please.

Taste

In addition to the "flavor" in a flavored coffee, there is also coffee taste. Taste refers simply to the taste of the coffee. Taste experiences with coffee can range from one-dimensional (as in a "straight" or single varietal) to rich and complex (as found in some blends). Look for specific taste elements described as winey, earthy, sweet, nutty, smoky, or spicy.
