Would you be able to defend yourself and your loved ones if someone were to physically attack you? It’s a question most of us don’t want to consider, but violence is, unfortunately, a fact of life. Thankfully, regardless of strength, size, or previous training, anyone can learn several effective self-defense techniques.

It is common knowledge that Android apps are distributed in the form of Android Application Package   files, or APK files for short. However, most people look at an APK as a black box and have no idea how it's created or what's inside it. Even most app developers have only a superficial understanding of an APK's anatomy. In integrated development environments, such as Android Studio, all it takes is a single click to transform an Android project into an APK.

Liquor  doesn’t always get better with age . This graphic from eReplacementParts offers a few rules of thumb for when you should discard spirits and other items in your bar cart. If the bottle is unopened and well sealed, the base spirits will keep indefinitely. But once opened, you have between 6 months to 1 year before the alcohol will start to go bad, depending on the drink. The Kitchn says that 6-8 months is the spirit industry’s standard for when spirits will start to go flat and lose flavor, but for the average person 8 months to maybe a year is probably okay.

  The folks responsible for the entries in the Associated Press Stylebook  have announced that the word “Internet” will no longer be uppercased, thus breaking my heart and making some of our writers very happy. The AP Stylebook, which many newspapers and websites (one word? really?) use to guide their style efforts, defines Internet as “a decentralized, worldwide network of computers that can communicate with each other.” It’s a pretty big definition and has warranted the glory of a capital I. But no more.  And that’s not all. T he AP Stylebook has also decided to lowercase “Web.”  The changes, which were not announced on April Fools’ Day, are to take effect on June 1 when the 2016 edition of the style guide is released. Then, and only then, will “Internet” join other inexplicable changes the style guide has made in the recent past, including “more than” versus “over” and “underway” versus “under way,” both of which still vex me.
