Highly-Desired Skills You Can Teach Yourself Adam Dachis
On countless occasions, you've likely said to yourself "I wish I knew how to do ______." Then, of course, life got in the way and you put it off until you could find the time.
1. Repair Just About Anything
Sure, you don't need to repair anything anymore. You can just pay someone else to do it. But where's the ingenuity in that? Plus, who wants to waste a bunch of money on simple tasks you can handle on your own? If you've adopted the DIY spirit, learning to repair your own stuff is one of the easiest and more rewarding skills you can acquire.
2. Pick Up an Artistic Skill
Although it often won't earn you the big bucks, artistic skills are highly desired because they provide you with the technical abilities required to create something beautiful. You're going to have to find your own inspiration and subject matter, but the skill you'll need is really just a matter of technical aptitude and practice.
3. Learn to Defend Yourself
Who likes getting their ass kicked? Probably a very small majority. If that's what you're into, it doesn't require much skill—just endurance. If you'd prefer to not end up hurt or injured as the result of an unexpected attack, perhaps it's time to pick up some self-defense skills.
4. Improve Your Design Skills
Design and style aren't an exact science, as tastes differ and change as time goes on, but there are a few principles you can pick up that'll make your work, home, or whatever needs an aesthetic boost looking better than average. If we're talking traditional design, you'll first want to learn the basics of type and layout. These
5. Play a (New) Instrument
Whether you already know how to play an instrument and want to learn something new or are musically inept, you'll find plenty of resources online to help you teach yourself to play just about anything. If guitar is your thing, you're in luck as you'd be hard-pressed to not find online lessons. JustinGuitar.com offers over 500, and we've rounded up plenty more. The internet can also teach you piano, drums, and even orchestral instruments like the flute and violin. Just like with repair skills, you can find a lot of how-to videos on both YouTube and VideoJug.
6. Cook Like a Pro
With so many recipe sites and cooking skill how-to videos online, it's a surprise that everyone isn't a master chef at this point. There are so many simple things you can learn that can vastly improve your culinary skill set really quickly.
7. Become Fluent in a New Language
When we asked you which skills you really wanted to learn, language was at, or close to the top of many peoples' lists. Fortunately for you, this clever technique offers a way to all but master a new language in a short period of time by teaching yourself. You'll still have to work hard and put in the minutes every day, but you can come out speaking fluently in about half of a year. (lifehacker.com)

For
first time in 100 years, more women than men in Taiwan By Joy Lee, The China Post
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The female population in
Taiwan has now exceeded the male population for the first time in 100 years,
the Ministry of Interior (MOI) announced yesterday.
According to the MOI, based on statistics
collected through the month of November, the male population of Taiwan stood at
11,683,187, while the female population was 11,684,133, meaning there were 946
more women than men.
The MOI said that men have outnumbered
women in Taiwan for over 100 years. However, the latest statistics show that
the ratio has changed.
Deputy Interior Minister Hsiao Chia-chi (蕭家淇) said that the gap between the male and female population had
always been larger compared to the gaps in other countries.
“Except for the traditional idea of
patriarchy, there are more factors contributing to the large gap between the
male and female populations in Taiwan including large amounts of military staff
immigrating into Taiwan in 1949 and adding professional soldiers into the
household registration statistics in 1969,” said Hsiao.
According to the MOI, with more veterans
passing away and more men starting to move abroad in recent years, the number
of male citizens in Taiwan has started to decrease. Moreover, there has been an
increase in the number of foreign spouses in recent years, which gradually
closed the gap between the male and female populations.
“That statistic can probably provide an
explanation for the fact that more middle-aged women cannot find a partner that
they want to get married to,” said Hsiao. “Plus, more men in Taiwan are
choosing to marry foreign partners in recent years.”

台灣女恐嫁嘸尪 "女比男多"比例創新高 婚姻市場失調 台視新聞
我國男女比例失衡的現象愈來愈嚴重！內政部公布最新人口統計，我國男女性比例，100名女性當中，只有99.82名男性，各縣市分開來看的話，又以台北市差距最懸殊，男女性比例92.2，也就是每100個女生只有92個男生。
兩性專家說，兩性比例失衡，再加上現代女性學經歷豐富，大多想找比自己優秀的男性結婚，導致女性晚婚的情況愈來愈普遍。
戴面具相親，先看內在再看外表，就算女生主動出擊，要找到對象卻日益困難，因為台灣男女比例失衡問題越來越嚴重，截至今年六月調查，以100個女性為基準，男性只有99.82個。
生活環境不同，感受也不同。
但如果各縣市分開來看，男女比例最懸殊的是台北市，100個女生，只有92個男生，第二名、第三名分別是嘉義市和新北市。
內政部分析原因，包括老兵凋零，外籍配偶增加和女性平均壽命延長，都是性別失衡原因，另外男性基因比較脆弱，也是關鍵。
Y染色體不夠強壯，導致男性天生容易生病，再加上賀爾蒙影響，男性罹患心血管疾病機率比女性來得高。
種種原因造成性別失衡，恐怖不少姐姐妹妹們忍不住感嘆，Mr right愈來愈難找。
