In mixed martial arts, the term RNC often refers to the hand-on-biceps version. This variant is considered to be a "blood choke" because it restricts blood flow to the brain via the carotid arteries. When done correctly, it can cause temporary unconsciousness in a few seconds. Due to this fact, it is also known as the "sleeper hold". If done incorrectly or held too long, this technique will injure or kill the opponent. The following is a description of this technique using the left arm -- the attacker's left arm e ...

Some are opposed to large Critical Mass-type events in general because they claim the events interfere with automobile traffic. WNBR participants, like those in Critical Mass counter "We are not STOPPING traffic, we ARE traffic!" Critical mass and other biketivist groups promote awareness of cyclists, they feel, out of necessity — many cyclists are seriously injured and killed by careless drivers.

Skygazing - Diurnal observation. The extreme brightness of the Sun saturates the sky and prevents the observation of less luminous objects, with the exception of the Moon, and occasionally Venus.

It is extremely important to have the proper equipment and training when observing the sun, or you could permanently blind yourself. Never attempt to observe the sun in a telescope or binoculars w ...
