article: One of the reasons you may feel like you're not having any fun at work is because you don't enjoy the company of any of the people there. Well, you can change that by making the effort to get to know your colleagues and boss by making an effort to be nicer, asking questions, and enjoying the time you spend with them.  Take the time to get to know your colleagues by talking about your families and interests. Don't be closed off at work. Look available instead of incredibly busy, and more people will want to talk to you. Indulge in the occasional chat session in the break room. Step out for lunch with one of your colleagues, and you'll enjoy having a nice conversation and getting to know each other. Don't let all of your relationships end with the work day. If you're growing closer with some of your colleagues, invite them out for a drink or coffee after work. You can have more fun at work by trying to make your work space just a bit more fun. Though you can only have so much control over what your work space looks like, there are a few things you can do to make your work environment a bit more appealing.  Decorate a bit. If you can, put up a fun poster or just bring in a brightly-colored vase with some flowers in it. Bring some food. Bake cookies or bring in some chips and guacamole and see how it puts everyone in a more friendly, happy mood. Liven up your work area. Hang up a funny calendar and pictures that make you smile in your work space, and you'll be on your way to having more fun at work. If you want to have fun at work, then you should try to have fun with the people you work with even after the work day is over. You can do this by having a weekly happy hour or a bi-monthly team meal, or just inviting a few people to have dinner after work once in a while.  If you're throwing a party, invite some of your colleagues. Bring them in to a fun environment. You and your colleagues can also volunteer together. You'll be able to have fun together while doing a good deed. If you want to have fun at work, then you can't spend 12 hours a day perched over your desk even if it means you'll be home a bit faster. Taking breaks at least every hour will help your mind and body recharge and will get you feeling more energetic, and therefore having more fun, throughout the day.  Go out for lunch. Stepping out of the office for lunch, whether you're alone or with a colleague, will give you a brief break that will make you feel happier about getting to work. Get a little bit of physical exercise. Even if you're at the office all day, take at least 10-15 minutes to go for a walk, whether you're walking outside or around the office. Try taking the stairs instead of the elevator if you can. This will give you a quick physical break. Switch tasks from time to time. Switch between filing, making calls, and sending emails and you'll see that each individual task becomes more fun. You won't majorly interrupt your productivity if you take the time to play a little game once in a while. Even just playing with silly putty or a slinky while you're at your desk will make your work day a little more fun.  If you have a more casual office, throwing a Nerf ball around with your colleagues can be a lot of fun. If you have your own office, hanging a basketball hoop over your door and shooting a light ball into it from time to time will make your day feel more fun.

Write an article based on this "Create distance between yourself and the attacker, if possible. Use an object as a shield. Keep your body perpendicular to the attacker. Block and redirect attacks. Deflect the attacker’s arm if he or she strikes. Stop an underhand knife attack. Throw the attacker from the ground."
article: If it turns out that you must face a knife-wielding attacker one-on-one, start by backing away. Try to put as much distance as possible between yourself and the attacker. Experts recommend seven yards as a distance that will keep you safe from a knife attack. If you want to disarm an opponent or attacker, you will have to do so at the right moment. While you are waiting, you can protect yourself by using an object as a shield. Try to find a hard, rigid object such as a board or trash can lid, but any object (even a coat, blanket, etc.) can help. Hold the object in front of you to protect yourself against sudden attacks. A shield will help keep your vulnerable areas protected. Remember that your most vulnerable areas are at your core (chest, abdomen), so keep those protected above all. Try not to stand directly in front of the attacker; this makes you more vulnerable to attacks. Instead, remain to the side of the attacker if at all possible. That way, you will have a chance to see if the attacker turns to lunge toward you, and have slightly more time to react. If the attacker lunges at you before you are able to get the knife, step to the side out of his/her way. The attacker may then turn around to face you again. Be prepared and move to the side of the attacker, so that you can avoid direct stabs in your direction. If the attacker lunges at you and you are not able to get out of the way, grab the attacker’s arm as he/she moves toward you. Use both of your hands to grab on, if possible. Yank the attacker’s arm and use the attacker’s momentum to throw him/her to the ground, making sure to keep the knife pointed away from you. If the attacker lunges at you using an upward motion, use the blade of your hand to chop into the attacker's hand. Do this forcefully, and it will push the attacker’s arm backward. Use your hands to push and hold the attacker's arm back so that the knife stays away from you. Slam the attacker’s arm into a hard surface or apply pressure until the knife falls from his/her hand. If the attacker lunges toward you with the knife, back away and pretend to fall down so that you are still facing the attacker. Prop yourself up on your forearms, keep your left foot raised, and wait for the attacker to approach. When the attacker is within reach of your feet, put your left foot against his/her heel. Slam your right leg against the back of the attacker's knee as hard as you can, pushing the attacker away. If you do this correctly, your attacker will fall face first, with the knife aimed away from you.

Write an article based on this "Decide if being an international law attorney is really for you. Register with the Credential Assembly Service (CAS). Solicit letters of recommendation. Draft a personal statement. Think about writing an addendum."
article:
International law is a highly-competitive field. Attorneys who practice in this area often work for international organizations, such as the United Nations or the World Bank. Alternately, international lawyers can work for large firms on cross-border deals involving corporations in different countries. These kind of jobs are difficult to get. Even if you graduate law school and pass the bar, you very well might not be able to get one of these jobs.  Competition to get a job with an international non-governmental organization (NGO) will be fierce. There are very few international human rights jobs, period. In fact, breaking into this field is extremely challenging. Furthermore, most cross-border deals are done by large law firms, which are the most selective. You are expected to be near the top of your class and to have graduated from a selective law school in order to be hired at international law firms. Against your job prospects you also should weigh how you will finance your legal education. The cost of a legal education has exploded in the past decade. Students routinely pay over $30,000 a year in tuition alone, which does not include additional costs for living expenses. If you are not careful, you could graduate law school $200,000 in debt. CAS is used by all law schools. You send them your transcripts, letters of recommendation, and evaluation; they create a packet and send it to the law school. The service requires a fee. Register early and make sure to get your transcripts to CAS in a timely manner. Now is the time to draw on the relationships you have built up with faculty during your undergraduate career. Ask your professors if they can write you a strong letter of recommendation. Only follow through if that professor says “yes.”  If you didn't build strong relationships with faculty, don't despair. You can also ask for recommendations from present and past employers, as well as from people associated with church or volunteer organizations. Some recommenders may need to be prompted to complete the letter. Send a friendly email reminder, or stop in to chat. Law schools require that you write a short statement, typically on a topic of your choosing. The statement is usually only 500 words.  Follow the directions. If the school wants you to write on a specific topic, write on that topic. Also, if they give you a word limit, stick to the limit. Going over, by even a few words, can harm your chances of admission. Feel free to write about your interest in international law. You may want to write about your experience studying abroad. Whatever you write about, make sure that it is fresh, engaging, and memorable. You also should feel free to write about any subject that you want. You do not have to explain why you want to be a lawyer (unless the prompt specifies that you should write about that subject). An addendum can be a great way to explain something that looks bad in your application. A solid addendum will provide context for any information that might raise “red flags.”  Red flags include criminal convictions, punishment for cheating or plagiarism, or semesters with very low grades. An addendum might also clarify why one LSAT score is much higher than another. Remember to explain in your addendum, not make excuses.
