A  surgical strike  is a military attack which results in, was intended to result in, or is claimed to have resulted in only damage to the intended  legitimate military target , and no or minimal  collateral damage  to surrounding structures, vehicles, buildings, or the general public infrastructure and utilities. A swift and targeted attack with the aim of minimum collateral damage to the nearby areas and civilians is a surgical strike. Neutralization of targets with surgical strikes also prevents escalation to a full blown war. Surgical strike attacks can be carried out via air strike, airdropping special ops teams or a swift ground operation or by sending special troops Precision bombing  is another example of a surgical strike carried out by aircraft – it can be contrasted against  carpet bombing , the latter which results in high collateral damage and a wide range of destruction over an affected area which may or may not include high civilian ca...

NO. 1 To avoid  muscle soreness and fatigue , don't hunch your shoulders. Tilt your head every few minutes to stave off tight neck muscles. Better yet: Stop to admire the scenery. NO. 2  Don't move your upper body too much. Let your back serve as a fulcrum, with your bike swaying from side to side beneath it. NO. 3  Keep your shoulders behind the front wheel axle. Too much weight forward makes the bike hard to handle and could cause the rear wheel to skip up into the air. NO. 4  Pull on the bar with a rowing motion to counter the power of your legs. This helps transfer your energy to the pedals rather than into wasted movement. NO. 5 If you don't have a chance to slow for an obstacle such as railroad tracks or a pothole, quickly pull upward on the handlebar to lift your front wheel. You may still damage the rear wheel, or it might suffer a pinch flat, but you'll prevent an impact on the front that could cause a crash. NO. 6 Beware of creeping forwa...

They may be our best friends, but dogs are still animals and they can bite. In fact, dogs bite about 4.5 million Americans every year, half of them children between ages 5 and 9. One out of every five of those bites causes an injury that requires medical attention, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Children are also more likely than adults to be injured by a dog bite. Although strays or other strange dogs can bite, most of the time people are actually bitten by a dog they know, which could be a friend's dog or even the family pet. To prevent dog bites: When choosing a dog for a family pet, pick one with a good temperament. Stay away from any dogs you don't know. Never leave young children alone with a dog -- especially an unfamiliar one. Don't try to play with any dog that is eating or feeding her puppies. Whenever you approach a dog, do so slowly,  and give the dog the chance to approach you. If a dog becomes aggressive, do not run away or scream. ...

So many of us use electronic devices these days that the amount of paper we use has decreased massivly - some people hardly write anything down any more! But there is still plenty of printed matter around, from leaflets pushed through your door to free newspapers distributed at railway stations. So how can you make sure that you don't waste any paper? Use both sides of every piece of paper.  Find out how to make double sided copies when you photocopy.  If you have a piece of paper that is printed on one side only, use the back as rough paper before you finally put it in the recycling box. Schools and offices are some of the worst offenders for sending out sheaves of A4 sized single sided letters and memos with only a couple of lines of text. Send out email and text notifications where possible. If you must send a hard copy, could you send out that memo A5?  Could you include several topics in one letter? Stop junk mail by contacting the Mailing Preference S...

Lighting Turn off lights in areas not being used. Open curtains in the morning, rather than turning on the light. Paint rooms in light colours, as this aids reflection of available light. Use desk or standard lamps where most light is needed, so less lighting is required in the rest of the room. Clean lamps and fittings – over time, dirt build up reduces light output. Use fluorescent tubes, they use a quarter of the electricity consumed by ordinary bulbs and last around eight times longer. Light dimmers save you money and can extend the life of incandescent lamps. For security lighting, install time, motion or light sensing switches. If you have a skylight, ensure it has been installed properly with a diffuser at the bottom to ensure light is evenly spread. General appliances In winter, ensure electric blankets are turned off at the power point when not in use or during the day. Consider using timers for aquarium lights and pumps, in order to cut down on energy consum...

Drinking contaminated water is the number one cause of illness and with the rise in the number of cases of monsoon diseases like cholera and typhoid, it is highly essential that you ensure you are drinking only pure water.
