How to Bond With Your Cat
|
1. Getting to Know Your Cat
1-1. Learn cat body language.
In order to bond with your cat, you need to be able to read her emotions. The first step is learning the basics of cat body language.
A confident cat moves with eyes wide, back slightly arched, head forward, and tail upright. If you notice your cat walking in this way, she's likely in a good mood and now would be a good time to interact with her.
When relaxed, a cat will stretch out on her side or back. Her ears will be up, whiskers held to the side, and her paws may flex in contentment. She is probably approachable at these times, but be careful with petting. Cats position themselves in a somewhat exposed way when relaxed and may interpret physical contact as an attempted attack.
If your cat has puffed up her fur, arched her back, flattened her ears, and dilated her pupils while swishing her tail she is behaving aggressively. For whatever reason, she feels threatened and needs space. Do not attempt to interact with your cat until she calms down.
When your cat is anxious, she will try to look small by hunching down and wrapping her tail around her. Her limbs will be poised to run if necessary with her pupils enlarged and her ears held sideways. You should not touch your cat if she is behaving like this; she is nervous and needs space.
When a cat is defensive, her ears will be flat, her teeth might be displayed, and she will be rolled on one side displaying her paws and claws. A cat is likely to lash out when engaging in this behavior and you need to give her space to cool down. She is likely to scratch you if she's behaving aggressively.
1-2. Use your eyes to convey you are not a threat.
Cats communicate with people through eye contact. Unfortunately, many people do not realize this and often mistakenly intimidate cats through staring. Know how to show your cat your intentions are friendly.
A common complaint about cats is that they're drawn to those who dislike them. People who dislike cats tend to ignore them. Since cats hate direct stares (as it is a display of a threat), the cat feels less threatened and will approach to explore
Lie down near your cat when she is relaxing. Look at her until she looks back and, when she does, slowly close your eyes and then open them a few times. Wait for your cat to do the same.
If your cat turns away, this is a good sign. It means she does not see you as threat and feels no need to intimidate you. If she does not turn away, break the gaze so she does not think you're trying to challenge her. It may take several attempts at a slow blink before your cat is comfortable enough to look away after eye contact.
1-3. Get a sense of your cat's personality.
Unlike dogs, cats are not very dependent on humans. While a relationship with an owner may be an important aspect of your cat's life, it is not as intense as it might be with a dog. Cats vary in the amount of socialization they need. To bond with your cat, you need to understand her personality.
Some cats are very affectionate and will want to be near their owner often. Other cats, however, may spend hours a day in a hiding spot. Do not push your cat to interact with you if she does not want to. Cats are very independent and their personalities are not subject to change.
Similarly, desired physical activity varies between cats. Some cats love to play and crave activity often while others show disinterest in toys. Once again, don't push it. While certain behaviors, like scratching and biting, can be trained out of a cat the fundamentals of a cat's personality remain fairly consistent over time. However, you should push your cat to get 5 to 10 minutes of exercise a day to maintain a healthy weight.
2. Establishing Contact with Your Cat
2-1. Allow the cat to come to you.
You should never immediately pet a cat without an invitation. Cats do not respond well to this and may interpret it as an affront to their personal space. Cats needs to take the lead when it comes to social interaction.
Allow your cat to invite you in. When she's ready to interact with you, she'll let you know by displaying certain behaviors. She may rub up against you or rub her cheek on you with her tail held upright. Cats have scent glands in their cheeks and sides, and rubbing these areas against you means they're scent marking. This is a sign of affection and camaraderie and means your cat is ready to interact with you.
If your cat approaches you, hold out your hand to see if she's interested in contact. Allow her to sniff your hand before you attempt to touch her.
Do not push it. If you simply sit in the same room with a cat long enough, she'll come to you when she's ready. Premature contact may cause her stress and result in a major setback of your bonding with her.
2-2. Understand your cat's responses to contact.
Once your cat is open to being petted, you need to make sure she's relaxed and happy. Cats will convey comfort or discomfort through body language. Make sure you understand what your cat is trying to communicate.
Cats, unlike dogs, do not twitch or wag their tails when happy. If your cat wags her tail when being petted, you're doing something wrong. You should pet her in a different area or change the direction or pressure of the petting.
Cats convey pleasure and trust in a variety of ways. Your cat may knead her claws in and out of a soft object or even your clothing. Cats sometimes lick and gently nip to show affection. She may bump her head against you or scent mark with her cheeks and side.
2-3. Avoid petting your cat's stomach.
Sometimes, your cat may roll over onto her belly. While some cats might enjoy or at least tolerate being touched on the stomach, most cats do not like humans to have contact with their underbelly. If you're interacting with a cat you do not know well, it's best to err on the side of caution.
Cats expose their stomachs for a variety of reasons. When in a face-off with another cat, exposing of the belly is a threat. Your cat is poising her back claws for defense, signifying her intention to attack.
However, a cat may also display her belly to convey trust. A cat's stomach is delicate as many valuable organs are located in the stomach. Showing the stomach communicates your cat trusts you and feels safe enough in her environment to expose a vulnerable area. This is not, however, an invitation for contact.
Many cats go on the defense when their stomach is touched, and may instinctively claw and attack. It's best to avoid touching the area, especially when dealing with a cat you don't know very well.
2-4. Brush your cat.
Many cats enjoy the feel of being brushed, as it's similar to being petted and creates feelings safety and comfort. Brushing is also healthy as it helps a cat's coat stay free of debris and skin flakes while encouraging blood circulation.
With a short hair cat, use a metal comb. Move from head to tail in the direction of the cat's fur. Concentrate on one section at a time and brush the whole body, including her chest and abdomen.
For a long haired cat, you might need to groom more often as fur can become tangled. You should start with the abdomen and brush upwards towards your cat's neck. When you brush the tail and back, make a part and brush out the fur on either side. If there are any knots, there are cat-safe de-tanglers and powders you can buy at a pet store.
When grooming, it's not a bad idea to check your cat's skin. Watch for bumps, bruises, or scratches, especially if you have an outdoor cat. Look for fleas and ticks. You can sometimes see evidence of fleas, if not the fleas themselves, by the small bloody scabs fleas leave behind.
3. Bonding in Other Ways
3-1. Play with your cat on a daily basis.
Playing with your cat is another great way to bond. Your cat will learn to associate you with positive moments as is more likely to be affectionate and friendly towards you.
Bird games are games that involve dangling a feathered toy in the air and allowing your cat to chase and jump at the toy. This simulates hunting instincts from the wild and is a great way to exercise and entertain your cat.
Some toys are laced with catnip, an herb that simulates excitement in a cat. Catnip laced mice, rabbits, and balls are a good investment if you have a cat who's disinterested in playing.
Early morning and late at night are the best time to play. These are the times of day when a cat has the most energy and playing with your cat at night could encourage her to sleep. You might not have time to play during these hours, but you can always buy your cat small toys she can play with on her own.
5 to 10 minutes of daily play is recommended to keep your cat healthy and at a good weight.
If you are unsure of what kind of toy to get for your cat, keep in mind that cats are particularly attracted to small, moving objects when playing.
3-2. Teach them basic tricks.
Cats are trainable with time and patience. They are not as motivated by praise as dogs and do not seek to please owners as readily, but can be trained with some time and patience. Teaching a cat tricks is a great way to strengthen your bond.
Use treats, but only treats your cat likes. There are many different types of cat treats and cats can be somewhat picky about food. You might have to experiment with different brands before you find a treat your cat is willing to work for. Buy a variety of cat treats as a supermarket or pet store and see which kind your cat prefers.
Start by looking for specific behaviors you want your cat to perform on command. When you see your cat performing these behaviors, state the name of the trick, praise the cat, and follow up with a treat. For example, say you love it when your cat stands up on her hind legs and would like her to do this in response to the command "Beg." When you see your cat standing up, say "Beg," praise the cat, and give her a treat. Eventually, she'll make the connection between the command and the behavior.
Once the cat starts performing the behavior on command, practice. You want to solidify the connection between the command and the trick. Only attempt to teach one command at a time and limit practice sessions to 10 to 15 minutes.
Use a clicker, a small device that makes a clicking noise when a button is pressed. Use this while using treats to reinforce the behavior. Eventually, you can cut down on treats. You want your cat to learn to perform without the constant expectation of food as a reward.
Once one command is mastered, move onto another. You can teach your cat to sit, lie down, stay, speak, and even more complex command. Some cats, for example, can be taught how to walk on a leash. Get creative.
3-3. Keep your cat comfortable in your home.
Cats are more likely to bond with you if they feel comfortable. Make sure you provide your cat with a warm, loving home so she'll feel safe and secure.
If you have an extra room, make it the cat room. Put her toys, litter box, food, water, and bed in this room and allow her to come in and out as she pleases. If you cannot dedicate a single room to your cat, at least make sure a certain section of your home, such as a corner or closet, is a cat friendly area.
Cats enjoy having places to hide. This doesn't necessarily mean they're frightened. They might just want some alone time. You can buy them a kitty condo or make your own condo using cardboard boxes and duct tape.
3-4. Ease your cat into any transitions.
Cats do not do well with change. If you have to make any adjustment to your living situation, do so gradually.
If you're having a new person move in with you, allow them to meet your cat a few times before making the move. Make sure your cat is comfortable with the new person and that they respect and understand the cat's boundaries.
If you're moving in with someone else or changing locations, take the cat to visit the new home on a few occasions if possible.
Introductions to new pets should be slow. Separate your cat from new pets initially, only allowing interaction through a door. After a week of door play, allow supervised face-to-face interaction. If there is any fighting, stay calm. Transitions can be difficult and it may take a few weeks before relationships stabilize.
Tips
You can talk in a soothing voice when petting and playing with your cat. This conveys you're not a threat and teaches your cat to associate your voice with positive experiences.
Talking or any other kind of verbal communication is a great way for your cat to get to know you. While you are petting him/her trying talking or singing lightly to them, this will help relax and calm them to where they are more comfortable around you.
Treats and foods are a great way to urge a cat out of her shell. While you shouldn't overfeed, providing a tasty treat might lure a cat out of hiding and encourage her to interact with you.
Warnings
Cats do not respond well to scolding or discipline. Never scold a cat and do not hit a cat, as this can lead to your cat becoming skittish and frightened of you.

If there are any knots, there are cat-safe de-tanglers and powders you can buy at a pet store.\\nWhen grooming, it's not a bad idea to check your cat's skin.

How to Bond With Your Dog
|
1. Creating Bonding Activities
1-1. Go hiking.
One fun thing you can do to create a stronger bond with your dog is to go on a hike with him or her. Just spend the morning or the late afternoon checking out a new mountain, park, or nature-filled area with your dog and enjoy exploring the outdoors with him. Keep your dog on a leash unless you’re in a safe area where it’s okay for him to run free. Make sure the hiking area allows dogs in advance, and that you have some water and treats on hand for your favorite creature.
Making a routine of going hiking with your dog at least once a week can help strengthen your bond.
As you hike together, pay attention to what your dog likes or dislikes. See if he prefers climbing up mountains, playing in wooded areas, or exploring the ground near water. Don’t make him do something he doesn’t want to do.
1-2. Go on a picnic.
Dogs love being outside, and if you want to bond with your dog, you should find as many ways to be outdoors with your dog or your whole family as possible. Take your dog out to a nice, pretty park on a warm day, bring some dog-friendly food, and some regular food for your family, and have a nice time bonding with your pet. Just make sure that you’re giving your dog the attention he deserves if you’re with other people. You can even take your dog for a walk around the picnic area.
This can also be a great time to play Frisbee or catch with your dog, or just to let your dog run free. Any time you’re letting your dog be happy and free, you will be strengthening your bond because he’ll associate you with good feelings.
1-3. Give your dog your attention when you go on walks.
When you take your dog for his daily walks, don’t chat on the phone the whole time, scroll through your phone, talk to your friends or neighbors, or let your mind drift. Instead, talk to your dog and let him know what a good boy he is, take the time to pet him, and even try to get your steps in sync with your dog’s in order to deepen your bond.
Look at your walking time with your dog as a time to be together, not as a time for you to multi-task.
You can also go running with your dog, if he likes doing this with you. Running and breathing in sync can really make you feel connected.
1-4. Play “hide and sniff.”
If you have just a few minutes in your day, you can show your dog his favorite treat, and then hide it in an easy-to-find location. He’ll love playing this game and will be rewarded with the treat once he finds it. You can tell him what a good boy he is for playing the game and for being so smart. If he can’t find the treat and starts to get frustrated, then let him have it so he doesn’t start resenting you or feeling like he can’t win the game.
If you have just three spare minutes a day, that’s all you need to play this game. You can make this ritual a part of you and your dog’s bonding routine.
1-5. Play Frisbee with your dog.
Another way to bond with your dog is to play Frisbee with him. Take him out to a park or to your yard, if you have enough room, and spend at least 15 minutes tossing the Frisbee to your dog, letting him catch it in his mouth, and waiting for him to bring it back to you. This game can give both you and your dog a great workout and can make you feel even closer to each other.
You can make a ritual of it by taking your dog to a park every weekend, letting him know that this will be your “Frisbee time.”
1-6. Play catch with your dog.
If Frisbee is too fancy for you and your dog, you can always play catch with him, whether you’re using a baseball or an old bone. Whatever treat or toy you’re using, make sure your dog really likes running after it and bringing it back to you. If he’s a puppy, you may have to spend some time teaching him to properly play.
Playing catch lets your dog see that your time together isn’t all about business, and that sometimes, you just need to have some good clean fun together.
1-7. Pet your dog with purpose.
Another thing you can do to deepen your bond with your dog is to pet him with purpose. Don’t just pet your dog absentmindedly when you’re staring at your computer, talking to a family member, or watching TV. Let your dog see that you really care about him by petting him while looking him in the eyes and telling him he’s a good boy and making sure to give him a little love.
You can even call him toward you to begin the petting session. Using his name as you pet him reinforces your bond with your dog.
1-8. Let your dog pick out a toy.
Another thing you can do to reinforce your bond with your dog is to let him pick out his favorite toy at the pet store. Take him to the store and give him a few minutes to explore the options and to pick the toy that he’s the most drawn to. Often, it won’t take very long for your dog to zero in on a new addition to his toy bin. Take the time to let him pick something out, buy the item for him, and then go home and play with it. This will show your dog how committed you are to his happiness.
You don’t need to get him a new toy very often, either. This won’t necessarily help you bond, but taking the time to pick out the perfect toy every once in a while will strengthen your connection.
1-9. Do tricks with your dog.
Building a bond with your dog shouldn't be hard. Doing tricks with your dog teaches them new things.This can build your and the dogs self-esteem. Being a teacher to your dog can make them feel greatly about you.
1-10. Take care of your dog.
Feed your dog or give your dog water, this shows your dog you love him/her. Take them on a walk. Unless they are old, have leg/hip problems then this is fun for you and your dog. It gives you both exercise and can make you happy. Give them a bath. Even if your dog doesn't like it, it gets them use to you and builds trust.
2. Treating Your Dog with Respect
2-1. Spend time together.
The best thing you can do to bond with your dog is really to spend some quality time with him. Just carving out the time to really pay attention to your dog and to give him the love that he so badly deserves is the best thing you can do to strengthen your bond. Though trying new activities to keep things interested and to keep your dog happy can make a difference, the important thing is that you’re spending time with your dog, whether you’re watching TV in bed together, going for a walk, or just hanging out in the yard.
It can be hard to make time to be with your dog, especially if you have a demanding work or school schedule. Though giving your dog your full attention when you’re together is the best thing you can do, being around the home when he’s there while doing something else is better than nothing. If you can find a way to do some of the work or studying that you would normally do away from the house at home, your dog will appreciate it and will feel closer to you.
2-2. Be consistent.
Being consistent is just as important when you’re disciplining a child as it is when you’re trying to bond with your dog. If you want to develop a strong relationship with your dog, then you should make sure to be consistent in your words and deeds. If there’s a certain part of the house where your dog can never go, don’t forbid it one day and then him go there the next, when you’re too tired to enforce rules. If you give him love and snuggles and positive verbal reinforcement when he does something good, like go to the bathroom in the right place, then make sure you always do that so your dog doesn’t get confused about whether or not he’s doing something right.
Dogs love having a routine that they can follow so they can better understand the world as well as your relationship. Try to be as consistent as possible in everything you do, from giving him praise to trying to teach him a lesson.
2-3. Be affectionate.
Another thing you can do to strengthen your bond with your dog and to give him the love he deserves is to be affectionate with him. Pet your dog, tell him he’s a good boy, scratch him behind his ears, or do whatever else you need to do to let him know that he’s really special and that you care about him. If you let him get in bed with you, then do that and snuggle up close to him, to let him see how much he means to you.
You can be affectionate in your words as well as your actions. Tell your dog that he’s a good boy whenever he deserves it, and shower him with praise as well as snuggles. You may not think so, but your dog really will be able to tell the difference between your voice when you’re feeling upset and when you’re happy with him.
Be encouraging. When your dog is trying something new and fails, let him know that he’s a good boy and show him that he should try, try again.
2-4. Remain calm.
Though it may not be possible to always remain calm, especially if your dog has done something to really upset you, you should work on maintaining your cool while letting your dog know he’s misbehaved when he does something wrong. If you start yelling, losing your temper, or throwing things, then your dog will be scared of you and may feel like he can’t really trust you. If you feel yourself getting angry, take a deep breath, walk away, and return to your dog when you feel more calm.
Dogs are very intuitive. They’ll be able to see that they’ve upset you and will feel bad about it even if you don’t yell or lose your temper.
Make sure to communicate clearly with your dog. Instead of getting emotional, tell him what he did and make your rules clear to him.
2-5. Have the right body language.
If you want to deepen your bond with your dog, then you should be careful about your body language. You want to be approachable and non-threatening to your dog, and to make him feel as loved and as welcome as possible. You may not even realize that you are sending him negative signals without meaning to. If you want to have positive body language when you talk to your dog, here are some things you can work on:
Get down on eye level with your dog when you talk or play with him as much as you can.
Maintain upright posture when you’re training your dog, so he knows you mean business.
Don’t hit your dog or point at him in a negative manner, or he’ll be scared of your hands.
If your dog is small, don’t tower over him or crowd him, or he’ll feel suffocated.
Don’t stare right into your dog’s eyes for more than a second or two. He may take this as a threat or a challenge.
2-6. Get to know your dog’s personality.
If you really want to be able to bond with your dog, then you should get to his personality. Dogs are just like people. Some are shy, some are more outgoing, some are mellow, and some are easily excitable. Get to know what your dog is like, from when he tends to get the most tired to what drives him crazy, whether it’s your neighbors, loud music, or a certain type of food. Taking the time to get to know your dog will help you strengthen your bond because you’ll feel more equipped to deal with him.
If your dog is more outgoing, then you should spend time hanging out with other dogs and people. If he’s more shy and needs a while to warm up to people, then he won’t appreciate it if you try to introduce him to fifty of your friends at once.
Get to know your dog’s energy peaks and valleys too. If he’s more hyper in the mornings, make sure you get in a lot of activity then instead of forcing it in the evenings, when he will be more mellow and may just want to lie down.
3. Going the Extra Mile
3-1. Give your dog a relaxing massage.
Most people don’t take the time to give their dogs a massage. Though it may sound silly, just spending 20 minutes once or twice a week giving your dog a nice, relaxing massage can help deepen your bond. Massage him as you would a human — behind the ears, on the neck, on his back, and anywhere that seems to make him feel good. Start off gently and deepen your massages if your dog seems to like it. This will be a great way for you to physically connect with your dog.
Every dog is different. Some like to be massaged, while some may wrangle out of your grasp. Get a feel for what your dog likes as you try this new bonding activity. If he just prefers to be petted, then don’t force it and stick to that.
3-2. Take your dog to work or to a bar or restaurant.
If you work in a more hip office that lets you bring your dog to work, then take him to work with you once in a while, if you can swing it. Though you’ll have to tend to your dog a bit and may not be able to have him there the whole day, just taking the dog to your workplace can reinforce your bond in a completely new environment. Make an effort to incorporate your dog in other aspects of your life. If there’s a dog-friendly bar or restaurant in your neighborhood, bring your dog there once in a while, so you can have fun with your friends while letting your dog roam a bit.
Making the effort to take your dog out with you will help you bond because he’ll be happy that you don’t want him to be cooped up all day.
Plus, your dog may meet other dogs at these bars or restaurants that he may like to play with, so he’ll love the extra social time.
3-3. Enter your dog in training competitions.
If you have trained your dog well and think training competitions are the way to go, then another way for you and your dog to bond is for you to enter him in competitions. You can then spend more time grooming your dog, teaching him tricks, and traveling with your dog as well. Though this isn’t for everybody, if you’re committed to training your dog, this can be a great bonding activity.
Entering your dog in competitions will mean that you have to spend a lot of quality time with your dog. What could be better than that?
3-4. Watch a dog-themed movie together.
Though it may sound silly and your dog won’t really know that he’s watching a dog on television, you can have a nice time watching a dog-themed movie with your dog. You can watch Lassie, Homeward Bound, Lady and the Tramp, or a number of other dog-themed flicks while hanging out with your favorite creature for a few hours. Pay attention to your dog while watching the movie and make sure to give him lots of affection, petting, and maybe even a few treats.
Setting aside some time to watch a movie with your dog will let you slow down and just hang out with your dog without creating a bunch of elaborate plans for your bonding time. Though activities are nice, so is just hanging out, the same as it is when you’re hanging out with people.
3-5. Take your dog to a nursing home or hospital.
Some nursing homes or hospitals have programs that allow you to bring in your dogs to help cheer up sick patients. Look into your neighborhood hospitals and nursing homes to see if you can bring your dog to one of these programs. This can be a great way for you and your dog to share the love with people in need and to bring joy to their lives. Your dog will love the social time and the attention and will appreciate the effort you’ve made to bring him to a new environment.
It’s a win-win situation. Not only will you be helping out your community, but you’ll be bonding with your dog in a new way.
3-6. Go on a road trip with your dog.
Another thing you can go to go above and beyond in your bond with your dog is to go on a road trip with him. You don’t have to go very far — just a weekend trip or a long drive to a lake or a park will do. Let your dog sit in the front or back seat, roll down the window, and let him feel the breeze on his face. Your dog will appreciate this special time you spend together and will love the freedom of the open road as well as the time you spend together.
Take the trip to a fun, dog-friendly destination like a park or a beach. Make the experience all about letting your dog roam free while having fun with you.
Tips
Always care for your dog. Your dog will appreciate treats, walks, and of course, the classic belly rub!
If you have a big dog, choose a Heavy and strong frisbee. One made of light material may get broken or chewed.
Work with your dog to build a bond and understanding. Never hit or shout at your dog.
Warnings
Do not force it! Bonding doesn't happen within 24 hours. Give it time, and your dog will be best friends forever!

If you want to have positive body language when you talk to your dog, here are some things you can work on: \\nGet down on eye level with your dog when you talk or play with him as much as you can.\\nMaintain upright posture when you’re training your dog, so he knows you mean business.\\nDon’t hit your dog or point at him in a negative manner, or he’ll be scared of your hands.\\nIf your dog is small, don’t tower over him or crowd him, or he’ll feel suffocated.\\nDon’t stare right into your dog’s eyes for more than a second or two. He may take this as a threat or a challenge.\\n2-6. Get to know your dog’s personality.\\nIf you really want to be able to bond with your dog, then you should get to his personality. Dogs are just like people. Some are shy, some are more outgoing, some are mellow, and some are easily excitable. Get to know what your dog is like, from when he tends to get the most tired to what drives him crazy, whether it’s your neighbors, loud music, or a certain type of food. Taking the time to get to know your dog will help you strengthen your bond because you’ll feel more equipped to deal with him.\\nIf your dog is more outgoing, then you should spend time hanging out with other dogs and people. If he’s more shy and needs a while to warm up to people, then he won’t appreciate it if you try to introduce him to fifty of your friends at once.\\nGet to know your dog’s energy peaks and valleys too. If he’s more hyper in the mornings, make sure you get in a lot of activity then instead of forcing it in the evenings, when he will be more mellow and may just want to lie down.\\n3. Going the Extra Mile\\n3-1. Give your dog a relaxing massage.\\nMost people don’t take the time to give their dogs a massage. Though it may sound silly, just spending 20 minutes once or twice a week giving your dog a nice, relaxing massage can help deepen your bond. Massage him as you would a human — behind the ears, on the neck, on his back, and anywhere that seems to make him feel good. Start off gently and deepen your massages if your dog seems to like it. This will be a great way for you to physically connect with your dog.\\nEvery dog is different. Some like to be massaged, while some may wrangle out of your grasp. Get a feel for what your dog likes as you try this new bonding activity. If he just prefers to be petted, then don’t force it and stick to that.\\n3-2. Take your dog to work or to a bar or restaurant.\\nIf you work in a more hip office that lets you bring your dog to work, then take him to work with you once in a while, if you can swing it. Though you’ll have to tend to your dog a bit and may not be able to have him there the whole day, just taking the dog to your workplace can reinforce your bond in a completely new environment. Make an effort to incorporate your dog in other aspects of your life. If there’s a dog-friendly bar or restaurant in your neighborhood, bring your dog there once in a while, so you can have fun with your friends while letting your dog roam a bit.\\nMaking the effort to take your dog out with you will help you bond because he’ll be happy that you don’t want him to be cooped up all day.\\nPlus, your dog may meet other dogs at these bars or restaurants that he may like to play with, so he’ll love the extra social time.\\n3-3. Enter your dog in training competitions.\\nIf you have trained your dog well and think training competitions are the way to go, then another way for you and your dog to bond is for you to enter him in competitions. You can then spend more time grooming your dog, teaching him tricks, and traveling with your dog as well. Though this isn’t for everybody, if you’re committed to training your dog, this can be a great bonding activity.\\nEntering your dog in competitions will mean that you have to spend a lot of quality time with your dog. What could be better than that?\\n3-4. Watch a dog-themed movie together.\\nThough it may sound silly and your dog won’t really know that he’s watching a dog on television, you can have a nice time watching a dog-themed movie with your dog. You can watch Lassie, Homeward Bound, Lady and the Tramp, or a number of other dog-themed flicks while hanging out with your favorite creature for a few hours. Pay attention to your dog while watching the movie and make sure to give him lots of affection, petting, and maybe even a few treats.\\nSetting aside some time to watch a movie with your dog will let you slow down and just hang out with your dog without creating a bunch of elaborate plans for your bonding time. Though activities are nice, so is just hanging out, the same as it is when you’re hanging out with people.\\n3-5. Take your dog to a nursing home or hospital.\\nSome nursing homes or hospitals have programs that allow you to bring in your dogs to help cheer up sick patients. Look into your neighborhood hospitals and nursing homes to see if you can bring your dog to one of these programs. This can be a great way for you and your dog to share the love with people in need and to bring joy to their lives. Your dog will love the social time and the attention and will appreciate the effort you’ve made to bring him to a new environment.\\nIt’s a win-win situation. Not only will you be helping out your community, but you’ll be bonding with your dog in a new way.\\n3-6. Go on a road trip with your dog.\\nAnother thing you can go to go above and beyond in your bond with your dog is to go on a road trip with him. You don’t have to go very far — just a weekend trip or a long drive to a lake or a park will do. Let your dog sit in the front or back seat, roll down the window, and let him feel the breeze on his face. Your dog will appreciate this special time you spend together and will love the freedom of the open road as well as the time you spend together.\\nTake the trip to a fun, dog-friendly destination like a park or a beach. Make the experience all about letting your dog roam free while having fun with you.\\nTips\\nAlways care for your dog. Your dog will appreciate treats, walks, and of course, the classic belly rub!\\nIf you have a big dog, choose a Heavy and strong frisbee. One made of light material may get broken or chewed.\\nWork with your dog to build a bond and understanding. Never hit or shout at your dog.\\nWarnings\\nDo not force it! Bonding doesn't happen within 24 hours. Give it time, and your dog will be best friends forever!\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Though dog is known as man's best friend, you may sometimes feel like your dog is more of a close acquaintance.

How to Bond With Your Guinea Pig
|
1. Creating a Comforting Environment
1-1. Choose a quiet, calm location for your guinea pig’s cage.
When your guinea pig first arrives in your home, it is likely to be overwhelmed and scared. A secure, calm, and quiet space will help your guinea pig begin to feel safe in its new environment.
Keep your guinea pig away from other pets, small children, and loud noises. A quiet space will help to prevent the guinea pig from becoming startled or scared.
If possible, place your guinea pig’s cage in a room that can be completely shut off. This way you can occasionally open the cage and let your guinea pig have playtime.
Give your guinea pig some time to adjust to its new home. Avoid handling it for up to 3 days after you bring it home to help it settle in.
1-2. Buy a cage that is large enough for your guinea pig.
The minimum recommended cage size for 1-2 guinea pigs is 7.5 square feet (2.3 m). Add 1.5 square feet (.46m) for each additional guinea pig. There should be plenty of room for the guinea pig to run; if you add a lot of ramps or accessories, you may need to go to a larger size.
The base of the cage should be a solid surface. Guinea pigs may get their paws stuck and injure themselves if the floor of the cage is made of wire or mesh. A solid plastic floor is safer and will be easy to clean. That said, no matter what type of cage you get, you will need a thick layer of bedding to protect your guinea pig's feet.
Look for cages that are easy to clean and maintain. You should be able to easily reach all areas of the cage. You should also look for cages made from easily cleanable materials, such as plastic. Metal cages are also acceptable, but be aware that they may rust and need to be replaced.
1-3. Add bedding to the cage.
Hay, paper, towels, and woodchips can all serve as bedding for your guinea pig. Most pet stores sell wood shavings which are also a popular form of bedding. Remember to change the bedding about once every week.
Never add damp or wet bedding as it can grow mold. Avoid using sawdust or straw as bedding as they can also mold easily.
Cedar and pine shavings can be toxic to guinea pigs, so look carefully at the type of wood shavings you are using as bedding.
1-4. Place toys and hutches into the cage.
These will help the guinea pig to feel comfortable. Huts and igloos provide a place where the guinea pig can hide and feel safe when they are overwhelmed. They can be purchased online or at your local pet store.
Consider adding toys, such as balls, ramps, or cardboard tubes to provide entertainment for your guinea pig.
1-5. Talk to your guinea pig.
Speaking to your guinea pig will help them get used to your voice. When you feed them, clean the cage, or change their water, talk to them in a calm tone. You should also visit your guinea pig and speak to them throughout the day so that they begin to get used to your presence.
2. Using Food For Bonding
2-1. Be consistent about your guinea pig’s feeding schedule.
Set up a routine for feeding your guinea pig. Try to feed them at the same times in the day. Also, try to feed them in a place they feel safe, such as their cage or play area.
A consistent schedule will mean that your guinea pig begins to associate you with food; this is key to forming a bond with your guinea pig.
Remember that whoever feeds the guinea pig will likely be the person they bond with first. If multiple people are going to oversee feeding, give them an assigned time. You can feed them in the morning, and your daughter in the evening. Or feed the guinea pig together so it gets used to both of you.
2-2. Use hand feeding to develop a sense of trust.
The goal of using snacks is to have the guinea pig associate you with food. This is a positive association that will help the guinea pig to feel comfortable around you.
At first, just place the treats in the cage. Then after a few days, hold it in your hand and see if the guinea pig will come closer to you. If they won’t come all the way, toss the food gently in their direction.
Have the guinea come closer each time you offer snacks. Eventually, it will begin to take it out of your hand and will begin to feel less nervous around you.
Make sure you are talking in a calm yet happy voice as you feed them.
2-3. Treat your guinea pigs to healthy snacks.
Grass, vegetables, and some fruit are all tasty treats for your guinea pig. Try foods such as cucumber, carrots, banana slices, romaine lettuce, and seedless apples.
Pet stores also sell treats marketed for guinea pigs and other small animals. Make sure you read the labels first; some have a lot of high fructose corn syrup and are full of empty calories.
Give all treats in moderation. Too much sugar, empty calories, or just overfeeding can cause your guinea pig to become obese. This can have serious health complications for your pet and may shorten its lifespan.
3. Handling Your Guinea Pig Correctly
3-1. Keep handling of your guinea pig to a minimum for the first week.
It will be very tempting to try to pick up, cuddle, or play with your new pet, but this could further traumatize your guinea pig. It will also make it harder for you to build trust with the guinea pig.
For the few days, you should try to avoid touching the guinea pig at all. After that, try to start petting the guinea pig for increasingly longer periods.
Be patient and don’t handle your guinea pig until they seem comfortable with you. If they still don’t let you pet them, then they are not ready to be picked up. It could take several weeks or months to make the guinea pig comfortable enough to be handled so try not to rush it.
3-2. Give your guinea pig plenty of warning before picking them up.
Guinea pigs are prey animals and are easily spooked by sudden movements. They also have poor eyesight so try not to sneak up on them.
Talking in a soothing voice will help the guinea pig to recognize your presence.
Try not to approach the guinea pig from behind. Let them see you, and approach slowly. Quick movements will scare them.
3-3. Avoid grabbing your guinea pig from above.
If their cage is on the floor, sit down on the ground. If it is on a table, then stoop to its level. Picking up the guinea pig from above might cause it to associate you with a predator.
3-4. Carry guinea pigs with both hands.
Support their back end with one hand, and place the other hand on top of their shoulders to prevent them from jumping. Grip them securely but not too tightly, and hold them close to your body so they don’t feel like they will fall. Holding them correctly will help them to feel safe when you pick them up.
When you first start picking up your guinea pig, hold them from a seating position. Being carried while walking may make the guinea pig nervous as they fear the height.
Carefully monitor children as they handle the guinea pig. Show them the correct hold and make sure they are gentle and don’t get overly excited.
Consider using a blanket to carry your guinea pig. Wrapping your guinea pig in a blanket makes them feel more secure as they are carried.
3-5. Play with your guinea pigs for at least half an hour per day.
Interacting with your guinea pig is essential to creating a bond with them. Handling and petting your guinea pigs are important forms of interaction, but the play is a great way for you to bond with your guinea pig.
3-6. Give guinea pigs the chance to explore outside of their cages.
If you have a room that can be completely shut off, then let them loose to explore. If there are no rooms available, create a playpen by using mesh or boxes. Just be careful that the guinea pig can’t chew through the playpen walls.
3-7. Create a play area for your guinea pig.
This area should include boxes, balls, ramps, and cardboard paper towel tubes. Sit in or near the area and talk to your guinea pig as they play. Offer them treats, or move the ball for them to chase. Associating you with play Is an effective method for bonding with your guinea pig. And the more time they spend in your presence, the more comfortable they will be with you.
3-8. Lay down in the play area and let the guinea pig investigate you.
Although guinea pigs can be nervous, they are also very curious. If you lay still, and cover your face, they will probably come over to sniff or climb on you. This is a great way to have fun and bond with your guinea pig.
3-9. Never shout at your guinea pig.
They will not understand why you are shouting and will become frightened. Shouting or punishing your guinea pig can also cause them to become scared of you and will hinder the bonding process. You should also never punish your guinea pig by withholding food, treats, or toys. They will not understand why this is occurring, and it will hurt your relationship with your guinea pig.
Warnings
"Over handling" is possible. Don't constantly have your guinea pig out of the cage. Over handling can lead to stress and make your pig sick or cause them to be nervous in your presence.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Creating a Comforting Environment\\n1-1. Choose a quiet, calm location for your guinea pig’s cage.\\nWhen your guinea pig first arrives in your home, it is likely to be overwhelmed and scared. A secure, calm, and quiet space will help your guinea pig begin to feel safe in its new environment.\\nKeep your guinea pig away from other pets, small children, and loud noises. A quiet space will help to prevent the guinea pig from becoming startled or scared.\\nIf possible, place your guinea pig’s cage in a room that can be completely shut off. This way you can occasionally open the cage and let your guinea pig have playtime.\\nGive your guinea pig some time to adjust to its new home. Avoid handling it for up to 3 days after you bring it home to help it settle in.\\n1-2. Buy a cage that is large enough for your guinea pig.\\nThe minimum recommended cage size for 1-2 guinea pigs is 7.5 square feet (2.3 m). Add 1.5 square feet (.46m) for each additional guinea pig. There should be plenty of room for the guinea pig to run; if you add a lot of ramps or accessories, you may need to go to a larger size.\\nThe base of the cage should be a solid surface. Guinea pigs may get their paws stuck and injure themselves if the floor of the cage is made of wire or mesh. A solid plastic floor is safer and will be easy to clean. That said, no matter what type of cage you get, you will need a thick layer of bedding to protect your guinea pig's feet.\\nLook for cages that are easy to clean and maintain. You should be able to easily reach all areas of the cage. You should also look for cages made from easily cleanable materials, such as plastic. Metal cages are also acceptable, but be aware that they may rust and need to be replaced.\\n1-3. Add bedding to the cage.\\nHay, paper, towels, and woodchips can all serve as bedding for your guinea pig. Most pet stores sell wood shavings which are also a popular form of bedding. Remember to change the bedding about once every week.\\nNever add damp or wet bedding as it can grow mold. Avoid using sawdust or straw as bedding as they can also mold easily.\\nCedar and pine shavings can be toxic to guinea pigs, so look carefully at the type of wood shavings you are using as bedding.\\n1-4. Place toys and hutches into the cage.\\nThese will help the guinea pig to feel comfortable. Huts and igloos provide a place where the guinea pig can hide and feel safe when they are overwhelmed. They can be purchased online or at your local pet store.\\nConsider adding toys, such as balls, ramps, or cardboard tubes to provide entertainment for your guinea pig.\\n1-5. Talk to your guinea pig.\\nSpeaking to your guinea pig will help them get used to your voice. When you feed them, clean the cage, or change their water, talk to them in a calm tone. You should also visit your guinea pig and speak to them throughout the day so that they begin to get used to your presence.\\n2. Using Food For Bonding\\n2-1. Be consistent about your guinea pig’s feeding schedule.\\nSet up a routine for feeding your guinea pig. Try to feed them at the same times in the day. Also, try to feed them in a place they feel safe, such as their cage or play area.\\nA consistent schedule will mean that your guinea pig begins to associate you with food; this is key to forming a bond with your guinea pig.\\nRemember that whoever feeds the guinea pig will likely be the person they bond with first. If multiple people are going to oversee feeding, give them an assigned time. You can feed them in the morning, and your daughter in the evening. Or feed the guinea pig together so it gets used to both of you.\\n2-2. Use hand feeding to develop a sense of trust.\\nThe goal of using snacks is to have the guinea pig associate you with food. This is a positive association that will help the guinea pig to feel comfortable around you.\\nAt first, just place the treats in the cage. Then after a few days, hold it in your hand and see if the guinea pig will come closer to you. If they won’t come all the way, toss the food gently in their direction.\\nHave the guinea come closer each time you offer snacks. Eventually, it will begin to take it out of your hand and will begin to feel less nervous around you.\\nMake sure you are talking in a calm yet happy voice as you feed them.\\n2-3. Treat your guinea pigs to healthy snacks.\\nGrass, vegetables, and some fruit are all tasty treats for your guinea pig. Try foods such as cucumber, carrots, banana slices, romaine lettuce, and seedless apples.\\nPet stores also sell treats marketed for guinea pigs and other small animals. Make sure you read the labels first; some have a lot of high fructose corn syrup and are full of empty calories.\\nGive all treats in moderation. Too much sugar, empty calories, or just overfeeding can cause your guinea pig to become obese. This can have serious health complications for your pet and may shorten its lifespan.\\n3. Handling Your Guinea Pig Correctly\\n3-1. Keep handling of your guinea pig to a minimum for the first week.\\nIt will be very tempting to try to pick up, cuddle, or play with your new pet, but this could further traumatize your guinea pig. It will also make it harder for you to build trust with the guinea pig.\\nFor the few days, you should try to avoid touching the guinea pig at all. After that, try to start petting the guinea pig for increasingly longer periods.\\nBe patient and don’t handle your guinea pig until they seem comfortable with you. If they still don’t let you pet them, then they are not ready to be picked up. It could take several weeks or months to make the guinea pig comfortable enough to be handled so try not to rush it.\\n3-2. Give your guinea pig plenty of warning before picking them up.\\nGuinea pigs are prey animals and are easily spooked by sudden movements. They also have poor eyesight so try not to sneak up on them.\\nTalking in a soothing voice will help the guinea pig to recognize your presence.\\nTry not to approach the guinea pig from behind. Let them see you, and approach slowly. Quick movements will scare them.\\n3-3. Avoid grabbing your guinea pig from above.\\nIf their cage is on the floor, sit down on the ground. If it is on a table, then stoop to its level. Picking up the guinea pig from above might cause it to associate you with a predator.\\n3-4. Carry guinea pigs with both hands.\\nSupport their back end with one hand, and place the other hand on top of their shoulders to prevent them from jumping. Grip them securely but not too tightly, and hold them close to your body so they don’t feel like they will fall. Holding them correctly will help them to feel safe when you pick them up.\\nWhen you first start picking up your guinea pig, hold them from a seating position. Being carried while walking may make the guinea pig nervous as they fear the height.\\nCarefully monitor children as they handle the guinea pig. Show them the correct hold and make sure they are gentle and don’t get overly excited.\\nConsider using a blanket to carry your guinea pig. Wrapping your guinea pig in a blanket makes them feel more secure as they are carried.\\n3-5. Play with your guinea pigs for at least half an hour per day.\\nInteracting with your guinea pig is essential to creating a bond with them. Handling and petting your guinea pigs are important forms of interaction, but the play is a great way for you to bond with your guinea pig.\\n3-6. Give guinea pigs the chance to explore outside of their cages.\\nIf you have a room that can be completely shut off, then let them loose to explore. If there are no rooms available, create a playpen by using mesh or boxes. Just be careful that the guinea pig can’t chew through the playpen walls.\\n3-7. Create a play area for your guinea pig.\\nThis area should include boxes, balls, ramps, and cardboard paper towel tubes. Sit in or near the area and talk to your guinea pig as they play. Offer them treats, or move the ball for them to chase. Associating you with play Is an effective method for bonding with your guinea pig. And the more time they spend in your presence, the more comfortable they will be with you.\\n3-8. Lay down in the play area and let the guinea pig investigate you.\\nAlthough guinea pigs can be nervous, they are also very curious. If you lay still, and cover your face, they will probably come over to sniff or climb on you. This is a great way to have fun and bond with your guinea pig.\\n3-9. Never shout at your guinea pig.\\nThey will not understand why you are shouting and will become frightened. Shouting or punishing your guinea pig can also cause them to become scared of you and will hinder the bonding process. You should also never punish your guinea pig by withholding food, treats, or toys. They will not understand why this is occurring, and it will hurt your relationship with your guinea pig.\\nWarnings\\n\\\"Over handling\\\" is possible. Don't constantly have your guinea pig out of the cage. Over handling can lead to stress and make your pig sick or cause them to be nervous in your presence.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Guinea pigs are known for being affectionate, gentle pets. However, it may take time for your guinea pig to feel comfortable in your presence and to build a bond with you. Providing a safe place and talking to your new pet will help them to feel secure.

How to Bond With Your Horse Using Natural Horsemanship
|
1. Understanding Your Horse’s Body Language
1-1. Observe how your horse uses his body and voice to communicate.
Your horse is able to use many parts of his body (eg, legs, face, tail) and make many different types of voices to communicate with you and other horses. Understanding his body language is a key component of natural horsemanship; if you know why they move and use their body in certain ways, you will improve your communication and bond with your horse.
It can be helpful to initially watch your horse without interacting with him to get a better idea of what he’s trying to say.
1-2. Watch how your horse uses his eyes, ears, and facial expressions to communicate.
Your horse’s eyes, ears, and face often work together to convey how your horse is feeling. For example, if your horse is feeling frightened, his ears will be pricked forwards and his eyes will widen.
The way that your horse has his eyes open or closed often indicates his alertness and wakefulness; he is alert and attentive when both of his eyes are open, but is drowsy if his eyes are only half open. If he is keeping one eye shut or seems unable to open one eye, there may be something medically wrong with that eye; consult your veterinarian in this case.
Horses are able to move their ears together and individually in response to their environment. For example, if one ear is positioned backward, your horse is probably trying to listen to something behind him. If his ears are flattened back or pricked forward, your horse is likely frightened or upset; flared nostrils and widened eyes often accompany these ear positions. Move back to a safe distance from your horse if his ears indicate that he is frightened or upset.
A horse’s facial expressions can convey different emotions or responses. The flehmen response (your horse may look like he’s laughing when he does this) is a way for your horse to pick up and process different scents in his environment; he will lift his head and curl his upper lip under itself. If your horse is young, he may softly clack his teeth (softly chomp his teeth together) so that other older horses won’t hurt him. To indicate that he is relaxed, your horse may droop his chin or mouth.
1-3. Look at the way your horse uses his head, neck, and tail.
Your horse can convey a variety of emotions by the way he positions his head, neck, and tail. Paying close attention to these positions will give you important clues as to how he’s feeling.
If your horse is holding his head high, he is feeling alert and curious. A lowered head could mean that he is submitting to a command, but it could also mean that he is depressed.
Stiff neck muscles indicate that your horse is feeling tense or stressed. If your horse’s neck is stretched out and his neck muscles are feeling loose, he’s probably feeling relaxed.
When your horse swishes his tail, he could be swatting pests away (slow and steady swish) or could be feeling agitated (quick and aggressive swish). If his tail indicates that he’s agitated, give your horse some space to calm down. The height at which your horse holds his tail indicates that he’s feeling alert (high tail) or has some discomfort (tail tucked between the legs).
1-4. Listen closely to the voices that your horse makes.
Just like his other body parts, your horse will use his voice differently in different situations. Take time to learn what each of these voices means.
Horses will neigh when they’re feeling anxious (high-pitched), confident (sounds like a bugle), or simply acknowledging their presence.
Horses will also snort and nicker. Snorting indicates that your horse is either excited or alarmed about something. Nickering is a calmer noise that your horse will make when he’s anticipating meal time or, in the case of a female horse, communicating with her foal.
Groans commonly mean that your horse is experiencing some type of discomfort, such as being ridden too hard or landing too hard. Groans can also indicate a serious medical condition, such as constipation or stomach pain; your veterinarian will be needed to diagnose and treat the medical condition.
Horses can also sigh and squeal. Just like in people, your horse will sigh when he’s feeling relaxed or relieved. In contrast, your horse will squeal when he is feeling playful or meeting another horse for the first time.
1-5. Watch your horse’s posture and legs.
Taking an overall look at how your horse is standing or moving can give you important clues as to what he’s trying to communicate. Use caution when observing how your horse uses his legs; horses are very powerful animals and can cause serious physical injury when they kick.
If you notice that your horse is walking very stiffly and has tense-looking muscles, he is likely in some type of pain. Your veterinarian can perform medical tests, such as a lameness exam, to diagnose the pain.
If your horse is trembling, he’s saying that he’s afraid of something. If his trembling is severe, a veterinary behaviorist can work with your horse to calm his fears.
To express playfulness, a horse will buck (lifting his back legs) or rear (raising the front legs). Keep in mind that both of these leg movements can also indicate aggression or fearfulness.
If your horse’s legs are splayed, he may getting ready to bolt or may have medical issues that prevent him from standing properly. Your veterinarian can perform medical and behavioral tests to determine the cause of the splayed legs.
Your horse will paw or stamp the ground with his front legs to indicate that he is feeling impatient or frustrated.
Watch out if your horse lifts one of his front or back legs or starts swinging his hindquarters. This means that he’s getting ready to kick. Move as far back from your horse as possible to prevent injury.
2. Applying Pressure to Your Horse
2-1. Understand the purpose of applying pressure to your horse.
The use of pressure is a way to train your horse. Using pressure, which can be direct (touching your horse with your hands) or indirect (using a lead rope), can help your horse understand what you want him to do with his body. When done with care and consistency, your horse will learn how to quickly and calmly respond to your pressure, which will strengthen your bond with him.
2-2. Apply direct pressure to your horse.
By using direct pressure, you are teaching your horse to move his body according to how you touch him. Training with direct pressure can be very time-intensive, so just be patient with your horse as you train him in this way.
Start by applying gentle pressure to his poll (between the ears) to get him to lower his head. It may take your horse a few minutes to understand what you want him to do, so just keep applying steady pressure until he moves, or at least starts to move, his head down.
Once he gets more comfortable with the direct pressure to his poll, you can apply pressure to different parts of his body, such as his nose (your horse will move backwards) and behind the ears (your horse will move forwards).
Practice applying direct pressure each day until your horse quickly, consistently, and appropriately responds to your touch.
2-3. Release the pressure.
It is important to remember that it’s the release of the pressure that teaches the horse that he’s doing the right thing, rather than the application of pressure itself. Knowing exactly when to release the pressure will help your horse learn your commands more quickly.
Release as soon as your horse starts to respond in the way that you want him to; waiting a few seconds after he responds is too late.
The release can be full (no more pressure at all) or partial (less than the initial pressure).
Releasing the pressure before he has tried to respond will increase the amount of time it takes him to learn to respond to pressure.
2-4. Apply indirect pressure to your horse.
Using indirect pressure means that you are not directly touching your horse; rather, you are using a driving aid, such as a lead rope, to give him commands. Practice this type of pressure after your horse has mastered responding to direct pressure.
Attach the lead rope to your horse’s halter. While standing about three feet in front of him, start to slowly wiggle the lead rope to get him to step backwards. If he doesn’t move backwards, or moves in another direction, wiggle the rope with increasing force until he takes a step or two back.
Try wiggling from even further back (about 10 feet).
Practice applying indirect pressure for a few minutes each day.
As with direct pressure, release the indirect pressure as soon as your horse to starts to respond appropriately. In this case, you would stop wiggling the rope to release pressure.
3. Ground Training Your Horse
3-1. Groom
Grooming is a component of ground training, a type of training where you are standing on the ground while taking your horse through various exercises. Ground training is an important of natural horsemanship, since it allows you to bond with your horse by establishing boundaries and communicating with him using his natural body language.
If you haven’t groomed him before, start by touching him all over with just your hands. Doing this everyday will get him used to your touch. Be mindful of the areas where he doesn’t feel comfortable being touched, such as his stomach and eyes.
When you start grooming him, focus on the areas where he likes to be touched. Many horses enjoy being touched around their withers and mane.
By grooming and touching your horse all over for just a few minutes each day, he will trust that you will touch him with gentleness and respect. When he trusts you in this way, you will know that you have established a strong bond with him.
3-2. Practice various leading exercises with your horse.
With the use of a lead rope attached to your horse’s halter, lead him from various positions, including in front of him, beside him, and behind him. Leading exercises will teach your horse to respect your personal space; earning this respect from your horse is another important aspect of bonding with him through natural horsemanship.
Lead your horse by walking in front of him. Determine how far in front of him you want to walk, and keep that distance for the duration of your walk. If your horse tries to close the distance that you established, gently push him back. He will learn to respect that distance.
Lead from the partner position (beside him). Stand next to his shoulder for this position. Just like when you walk in front of him, establish and maintain your area of personal space when walking beside him. Practice this position next to both shoulders.
Lead from the drive position. Stand behind your horse’s drive line (behind the withers) and walk diagonally behind him.
As an alternative, try leading your horse without the lead rope. Practice this when your horse has mastered being led with the lead rope.
No matter which lead position you practice, the goal is for your horse to see you as alpha and respect your personal space. Practice each day until your horse is comfortable being led by you.
3-3. Practice ground training with your horse every day.
The key to ground training is to practice it consistently until your horse responds quickly and appropriately to your commands. When he does this, you will have established a bond with him based on mutual trust and respect. Do not do ground training for more than 30 minutes otherwise he will get bored and will not respond.
Tips
Be gentle yet firm with your horse as you bond with him. By following the methods of natural horsemanship, you will see that you can train your horse without hurting him or forcing him into submission.[31]

If his tail indicates that he’s agitated, give your horse some space to calm down. The height at which your horse holds his tail indicates that he’s feeling alert (high tail) or has some discomfort (tail tucked between the legs).\\n1-4.

Snorting indicates that your horse is either excited or alarmed about something. Nickering is a calmer noise that your horse will make when he’s anticipating meal time or, in the case of a female horse, communicating with her foal.\\nGroans commonly mean that your horse is experiencing some type of discomfort, such as being ridden too hard or landing too hard. Groans can also indicate a serious medical condition, such as constipation or stomach pain; your veterinarian will be needed to diagnose and treat the medical condition.\\nHorses can also sigh and squeal. Just like in people, your horse will sigh when he’s feeling relaxed or relieved. In contrast, your horse will squeal when he is feeling playful or meeting another horse for the first time.\\n1-5. Watch your horse’s posture and legs.\\nTaking an overall look at how your horse is standing or moving can give you important clues as to what he’s trying to communicate. Use caution when observing how your horse uses his legs; horses are very powerful animals and can cause serious physical injury when they kick.\\nIf you notice that your horse is walking very stiffly and has tense-looking muscles, he is likely in some type of pain.

If his trembling is severe, a veterinary behaviorist can work with your horse to calm his fears.\\nTo express playfulness, a horse will buck (lifting his back legs) or rear (raising the front legs). Keep in mind that both of these leg movements can also indicate aggression or fearfulness.\\nIf your horse’s legs are splayed, he may getting ready to bolt or may have medical issues that prevent him from standing properly. Your veterinarian can perform medical and behavioral tests to determine the cause of the splayed legs.\\nYour horse will paw or stamp the ground with his front legs to indicate that he is feeling impatient or frustrated.\\nWatch out if your horse lifts one of his front or back legs or starts swinging his hindquarters. This means that he’s getting ready to kick. Move as far back from your horse as possible to prevent injury.\\n2. Applying Pressure to Your Horse\\n2-1. Understand the purpose of applying pressure to your horse.\\nThe use of pressure is a way to train your horse. Using pressure, which can be direct (touching your horse with your hands) or indirect (using a lead rope), can help your horse understand what you want him to do with his body. When done with care and consistency, your horse will learn how to quickly and calmly respond to your pressure, which will strengthen your bond with him.\\n2-2. Apply direct pressure to your horse.\\nBy using direct pressure, you are teaching your horse to move his body according to how you touch him. Training with direct pressure can be very time-intensive, so just be patient with your horse as you train him in this way.\\nStart by applying gentle pressure to his poll (between the ears) to get him to lower his head. It may take your horse a few minutes to understand what you want him to do, so just keep applying steady pressure until he moves, or at least starts to move, his head down.\\nOnce he gets more comfortable with the direct pressure to his poll, you can apply pressure to different parts of his body, such as his nose (your horse will move backwards) and behind the ears (your horse will move forwards).\\nPractice applying direct pressure each day until your horse quickly, consistently, and appropriately responds to your touch.\\n2-3. Release the pressure.\\nIt is important to remember that it’s the release of the pressure that teaches the horse that he’s doing the right thing, rather than the application of pressure itself. Knowing exactly when to release the pressure will help your horse learn your commands more quickly.\\nRelease as soon as your horse starts to respond in the way that you want him to; waiting a few seconds after he responds is too late.\\nThe release can be full (no more pressure at all) or partial (less than the initial pressure).\\nReleasing the pressure before he has tried to respond will increase the amount of time it takes him to learn to respond to pressure.\\n2-4. Apply indirect pressure to your horse.\\nUsing indirect pressure means that you are not directly touching your horse; rather, you are using a driving aid, such as a lead rope, to give him commands. Practice this type of pressure after your horse has mastered responding to direct pressure.\\nAttach the lead rope to your horse’s halter. While standing about three feet in front of him, start to slowly wiggle the lead rope to get him to step backwards. If he doesn’t move backwards, or moves in another direction, wiggle the rope with increasing force until he takes a step or two back.\\nTry wiggling from even further back (about 10 feet).\\nPractice applying indirect pressure for a few minutes each day.\\nAs with direct pressure, release the indirect pressure as soon as your horse to starts to respond appropriately. In this case, you would stop wiggling the rope to release pressure.\\n3. Ground Training Your Horse\\n3-1. Groom\\nGrooming is a component of ground training, a type of training where you are standing on the ground while taking your horse through various exercises. Ground training is an important of natural horsemanship, since it allows you to bond with your horse by establishing boundaries and communicating with him using his natural body language.\\nIf you haven’t groomed him before, start by touching him all over with just your hands. Doing this everyday will get him used to your touch. Be mindful of the areas where he doesn’t feel comfortable being touched, such as his stomach and eyes.\\nWhen you start grooming him, focus on the areas where he likes to be touched. Many horses enjoy being touched around their withers and mane.\\nBy grooming and touching your horse all over for just a few minutes each day, he will trust that you will touch him with gentleness and respect. When he trusts you in this way, you will know that you have established a strong bond with him.\\n3-2. Practice various leading exercises with your horse.\\nWith the use of a lead rope attached to your horse’s halter, lead him from various positions, including in front of him, beside him, and behind him. Leading exercises will teach your horse to respect your personal space; earning this respect from your horse is another important aspect of bonding with him through natural horsemanship.\\nLead your horse by walking in front of him. Determine how far in front of him you want to walk, and keep that distance for the duration of your walk. If your horse tries to close the distance that you established, gently push him back. He will learn to respect that distance.\\nLead from the partner position (beside him). Stand next to his shoulder for this position. Just like when you walk in front of him, establish and maintain your area of personal space when walking beside him. Practice this position next to both shoulders.\\nLead from the drive position. Stand behind your horse’s drive line (behind the withers) and walk diagonally behind him.\\nAs an alternative, try leading your horse without the lead rope. Practice this when your horse has mastered being led with the lead rope.\\nNo matter which lead position you practice, the goal is for your horse to see you as alpha and respect your personal space. Practice each day until your horse is comfortable being led by you.\\n3-3. Practice ground training with your horse every day.\\nThe key to ground training is to practice it consistently until your horse responds quickly and appropriately to your commands. When he does this, you will have established a bond with him based on mutual trust and respect. Do not do ground training for more than 30 minutes otherwise he will get bored and will not respond.\\nTips\\nBe gentle yet firm with your horse as you bond with him. By following the methods of natural horsemanship, you will see that you can train your horse without hurting him or forcing him into submission.[31]\\nX\\nResearch source\\nHorses learn from pressure and the release of pressure, rather than through fear or pain.[32]\\nX\\nResearch source\\nAvoid taking any action that would hurt your horse.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Natural horsemanship, also known as ‘gentle breaking,’ is a firm yet fair way to train your horse and develop a deep and meaningful relationship with him.

How to Bond With Your Kitten
|
1. Forming a Connection with Your Kitten
1-1. Play with your kitten.
Like all young animals and children, kittens are incredibly playful creatures. When you adopt your kitten, pick up a few cat toys on the way home. These can include rubber or wicker balls and feather wands. Sit on the floor with your kitten and play with it for at least 15 minutes, three times a day.
Playing with your kitten also mimics the behavior that it would naturally show with its brothers and sisters. Playful behavior helps a kitten develop its motor skills and the predatory behaviors that come naturally to cats.
1-2. Pet and groom your cat.
Young kittens love the attention that grooming gives. Petting and other physical contact will help you feel closer to your kitten, as well. Petting and initiating physical contact with your kitten will mimic the social behavior that cats naturally exhibit, and will show that you have kind, loving intentions towards it.
Eventually, when it is comfortable with you and enjoys the pets, your kitten should start purring.
If you want to act motherly toward your kitten, rub your head with theirs.
Nap with it or find other times to snuggle. Holding it while watching TV, or on the phone are great options.
1-3. Blink slowly at it.
Blinking is a way that cats naturally show affection to one another, similar to a hug or a kiss among humans. In order to comfort and bond with your kitten, slowly lower your eyelids, blink, and open your eyes again. This should settle your kitten if it’s nervous.
If your kitten returns the slow blink, it’s responding to your affection.
Do not hold direct eye contact with your kitten—especially shortly after adopting it—as this can be perceived as challenging or threatening behavior.
1-4. Feed your kitten and give it treats.
Animals trust those who help them survive, and tend to be more trusting of those who feed them. While your cat is eating, reach down and pet its back and tail (avoid touching its face while it eats). This will help your kitten associate you with food, and with the pleasant sensation of eating and being petted.
When you first bring a kitten home, it may take time to adjust to you and to the new environment. If this is the case, give the kitten space and do not stroke it as it eats.
1-5. Always put the kitten’s needs first.
Kittens are a large responsibility, and can require a surprising amount of attention and maintenance. You’ll need to constantly keep an eye on your kitten while it’s underfoot, and make sure it’s not getting into mischief behind your back. Make sure your kitten has plenty of food and water at all times.
You may need to “kitten-proof” areas of your house. Kittens can be destructive. Hide any breakable items (valuable dishes, vases, etc.) and put up any blankets that you wouldn’t want claw-holes in.
2. Bringing a New Kitten Home
2-1. Adopt your kitten while it’s young.
Young cats develop quickly, and can readily create emotional bonds while they are between 2 and 12 weeks old. If you’re in communication with the cat breeder, cat foster home, or animal shelter, specify that you’d like a cat within this age range. Many shelters will not adopt cats as young as 2 weeks (the cats will still need their mothers), but you should be able to adopt your kitten well before it’s 12 weeks old.
Ideally, look for a kitten around 8 weeks old. The kitten will be independent enough to not need its mother anymore, and ready to bond and play with a new owner.
2-2. Decide on its name.
Naming an animal will help you feel more personally connected to it. Names indicate possession, closeness, and connection, and can help give your new kitten a sense of personality. When considering names for your kitten, think of:
The name of a favorite pet from childhood.
The name of a popular character from a beloved book or film.
2-3. Create a comfortable, safe space for the kitten.
During the first several days after you adopt your kitten, keep it in a single room in your house, so it does not become overwhelmed by its new environment. This room should contain the kitten’s bed, food, water, and litter box, as well as a few toys for the kitten to play with.
Try to create a place in the house where you and your kitten can relax. For example, you can lay some blankets and pillows down on the floor.
When kittens are born the mother usually sleeps next to her newborns. If you do the same the kitten will see you as a motherly figure and find trust in you.
2-4. Watch your kitten’s body language.
Kittens have unique personalities, and will respond to different stimuli in different manners. Some kittens may be shy, and will quickly become scared if you play too aggressively or start introducing the kitten to too many people or objects at once. If your kitten acts fearful or nervous, give it some space and stop interacting. Nervous behaviors include:
Moving away from you.
Twitching or tensing its muscles.
Acting hyper-alert and reacting to stimuli with fear.
3. Bonding Around Other Pets and People
3-1. Wait to introduce your kitten to other animals.
Introducing a kitten to another cat or a dog when you first adopt it can be a traumatizing incident for the kitten, since it will already be nervous and in an unfamiliar environment. Let the kitten get used to your living space before you introduce other pets.
You can begin to introduce your kitten to other animals when it’s between 3 and 7 weeks, as long as the kitten is comfortable in its environment.
When you bring the kitten and another pet into the same room, give them time to sniff each other. If one or both animals are skittish, try giving them each a bowl of food or a couple treats. This will calm the animals down, and help the older pet develop positive associations with the new kitten.
3-2. Limit your kitten’s interactions with other people.
Make sure that all human interactions with your kitten are positive, gentle, and kind, especially while your kitten is still very young. Especially before 12 weeks of age, kittens are very fragile. If the kitten is around children or other individuals who may treat it carelessly, it could be dropped and injured.
It’s fine for your kitten to meet other people, but if you want your kitten to bond most closely with you, you should be the one to play with the kitten, feed it, and care for it the most.
3-3. Encourage positive social behavior.
Kittens are naturally social animals, and will mimic the behavior that they see you and other humans modeling for them. Encourage friends and family to treat your kitten gently and play with it, to help it develop an emotional bond and find a healthy outlet for its natural predatory instincts. If you kitten is being overly aggressive in its play, walk away and only resume playing when the kitten has calmed down.
Do not encourage your kitten to playfully bite or scratch you. Although the behavior may initially seem cute, once the kitten has grown into an adult cat, its bite can be quite painful.
Warnings
Do not take your kitten outside for the first several weeks after you adopt it.
If you do take your kitten outside, make sure it has a flea collar. Keep your kitten on a leash or in your arms, and be especially wary of dogs that seem aggressive towards the kitten.
Do not encourage your kitten to playfully bite or scratch you. Although the behavior may initially seem cute, once the kitten has grown into an adult cat, its bite can be quite painful.

How to Bond With Your Pet Rat
|
1. Providing Basic Care
1-1. Provide a roomy cage.
You will need a cage that provides at least two cubic feet of space per rat. While this is a good rule of thumb for most rats, there are some situations where rats will require more space. For instance, if you have a larger rat or multiple rats that are sensitive about sharing elbow room, such as many intact male rats, you may want a larger cage.
Keep in mind that your rat is going to spend the majority of their life in their cage so giving them a spacious environment will help keep them happier when you are not able to take them out for play.
If you have two rats, it may be better to keep them separate, especially since 2 male rats can get territorial.
1-2. Keep the cage clean.
You should be cleaning your rat’s cage at least once a day. For your daily routine, scoop out any visible excrement and wipe down plastic or metal parts of the cage with a baby wipe or wet paper towel. Be sure to use non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning products or regular dish soap.
Use rat litter or fleece blanket to line the bottom of the cage. Completely empty out and replace the litter at least once a week. Woodchips and dusty litter should be avoided due to the sensitivity of your rat's respiratory system especially pine, as it is toxic . Litter made from old newspaper is most ideal (ref: veterinarians), while clay litter is high in dust (despite '99.9% dust-free' labels). You can check the dust content by placing the litter in a plastic sandwich bag, shaking the bag and observing how much dust sticks to the inside of the bag.
Refrain from using towels and similar fabrics in your rat's cage since your rats may end up swallowing string fibres from these fabrics, which can be harmful. Fleece is a wonderful cage liner, is reusable and is found in most dollar stores. Cloth bedding (i.e not sleeping bags or hammocks) should be changed at least once a week. If you can smell pee or other 'rat smells' in their cage or when you enter the room, then it is time to change the bedding. Again, it's well known that rats have very weak respiratory systems, so keeping your pets around smelly bedding or litter (smelly means bacteria!) can be very harmful.
You should do a thorough cleaning at least once a month that includes wiping down all metal and plastic parts of the cage (bars, litter box, cage base, etc.), washing out the water bottles with soap and water, and washing any sleeping bags, hammocks, etc.
Empty water bottles and refill with fresh water at least every other day. Remove any fresh food (fruits, veggies, etc.) that is not eaten. It will rot and attract bacteria. Also remove any food pellets or dried foods that have become wet.
1-3. Feed your rats regularly.
Water should be readily available at all times as rats can easily dehydrate. Have two water bottles present at all times so food and water dominance issues do not arise. Likewise, when feeding your rats snacks (veggies, seeds, fruits, etc.), it is a good idea to make two separate but equal piles. Do not give one rat something that you do not give the other rat. The rat that is missing out on the snack will smell it on the other rat and aggression can arise. The common staple food for rats is a standard lab block or lab pellets. These pellets are designed specifically to meet the dietary requirements of rats and can be supplemented with nuts, fruits, veggies, oats and other fun snacks. Oxbow rat food is a wonderful staple pellet. Do not feed your rats rabbit, hamster or other small animal pellets as the nutritional requirements of each small animal are different. It can be very difficult to meet the nutritional requirements of your rat by creating your own diet for them and missing nutrients can be detrimental to your rat's health. For this reason, it is often better to use a store-bought pellet as the staple of your rat's diet and supplement their diet with other foods. Avoid the colourful pellets at the pet store - they may seem tastier but are not often as wholesome as Oxbow or similar, and the artificial dyes can cause stomach upset.
Start by feeding your rat one table spoon of these foods twice per day. Once it gets used to food being readily available, it will learn that it doesn’t need to overeat and you can leave a small bowl of food in there at all times.
1-4. Add some variety.
Rats can eat a wide variety of meats, fruits and vegetables. Try to mix in a few more wholesome foods along with the typical rat food you buy at the pet store. You can add in these foods as often as you’d like and should include roughage vegetables at least once a week.. Do not feed your rat too much protein as the pellets already have enough protein in them. Meats should be limited to one small serving once a week or very small servings (e.g. one dog kibble) a couple of times per week.
Strawberries, grapes, apples, blueberries, leafy greens, squash, cucumber, potatoes and sprouts are all excellent options for adding some variety to your rat’s diet. Once your rat is old enough to self-regulate their food intake (i.e. not over-eat), you can give your rats fresh veggies, oats and other snacks once a day. Remember to give them a nice variety so they do not get bored! For example, a yummy daily rat salad may consist of 1 bok choy leaf, 2 dandelion leaves, 1 collard green leaf (depending on size), kale and half a slice of apple or a couple of blueberries. Get to know your rat; some rats may eat everything that is in front of them while other may stop eating when they are full. You do not want your rats to fill up on veggies and not eat their pellets but if they are doing a good job of self-regulating, you can give them more than a couple of leaves and remove any uneaten leaves the next day.
Meats like chicken, beef, tuna and liver are also great for rats. Make sure you mash them up a bit before serving so they’re easier to digest. There are a lot of great resources on rat diets online; be sure to read through a few before deciding on what you will allow your rat to have as you may notice some contradictions in the do's and don't's of feeding rats. For example, mangoes are toxic to male rats but can be fed to female rats. Green beans are healthy for rats but only if they are cooked; do not feed your rat raw green beans. Likewise, do not feed your rat raw brussel sprouts.
Monitor your rat's weight to make sure that its weight isn't interfering with its ability to move around. That's a clear sign your rat is overweight.
1-5. Avoid certain foods.
Despite the stereotype, rats should not eat cheese as most rats are lactose intolerant. You should also avoid dried corn, oranges, licorice, red cabbage, rhubarb and human junk foods like potato chips and candy. All of these can be toxic for your rat.
1-6. Avoid using string or zip-ties to suspend baskets, toys and other items in your rat's cage.
Instead, check out your local dollar store for circular, metal shower curtain rings. These rings are fantastic because they are sturdy and don't pose a choking hazard!
1-7. In general, the dollar store is a wonderful place to find items to decorate your rat's new home.
If you are finding that hammocks and sleeping bags are on the pricey side, try using the shower curtain rings to suspend a plastic basket from the inside wall of the cage. Fill the basket with fleece pet blankets and your rats will have a very comfy nest! Levels for rat cages can also be quite pricey; instead use small, plastic organizers, dog toy ropes, pet blankets, log houses, etc., all of which can usually be found at the dollar store! Keep in mind though that your rats will chew everything!
1-8. Make sure all levels, baskets, hammocks, etc.
are very secure. Rats will chew through fabric ties and anything you use to suspend or secure levels, etc. could give way at any time! Try securing levels or anything climbable in two ways (i.e. double up on the number of rings holding the basket to the cage or secure the basket to the cage wall and another object so that if one restraint gives way, the basket will not fall to the bottom of the cage).
1-9. Check that your rat cage has a solid bottom.
Wire bottoms are very hard on rat feet and can cause tremendous pain. If your cage has a wire bottom, line it with something smooth and solid such as plastic placemats or cardboard. Place a fleece blanket over top. If you are using cardboard, you should dispose of the cardboard each week. If you are using placemats or something similar, you should wash these each week (rats won't pee in their nest/bed but they will pee on the floor of their house; it's important to always clean up pee).
2. Keeping Your Rat Healthy
Keeping your rat's cage clean, refraining from using dusty litters and woodchips, and removing uneaten food both go a very long way in keeping you rat healthy.
However, rats are known to have very weak respiratory systems and it's not unusual for your rat to get sick at some point in their life. If you hear your rat sneezing, coughing, wheezing or constantly making a deep purring sound, or if you see discharge around the eyes or nose, take your rat to the vet immediately. Your rat will need antibiotics and/or antivirals to prevent other infectious bacteria and viruses from taking advantage of an already compromised immune system. Always keep an eye out for signs of illness in your rat but especially following times of high stress such as a move, separation or death.
3. Socializing Your Rat
3-1. Like dogs and cats, rats are much easier to socialize when they’re younger.
If you have your choice and are looking to interact with your rat or introduce a new rat to your current rats, pick one that is under 6 months old. After this age, they begin to develop their social behaviour and if they live in the wild or without much human contact, that is what they’ll be used to.. That said, do not overlook older rats that are in need of a new home! All rats are wonderful, some just may take longer to be comfortable in their new surroundings.
Older rats can be socialized with the same methods but you’ll need to be more patient as it will take them longer to trust you.
3-2. Offer treats from your hand.
Rats will come to trust your hands if they associate them with food. Start by hold the food with your fingertips.
After you’ve fed it from your fingertips a few times, hold the food in the palm of your hand and let the rat sit in your hand as you eat. Eventually, it’ll instinctively walk onto your hand anytime you hold it out.
3-3. Speak softly.
Rats, much like dogs, have the ability to differentiate voice patterns. Try to repeatedly say its name softly over time. It may learn to remember its name and come to you when you say it as long as you reward it with treats..Remember to reward your rat for coming to you when called with a small piece of a snack.
Because a rat’s eardrums are so small, it won’t be able to differentiate sounds that are too loud. Try whispering with your mouth close to its ear.
3-4. Hold your rat correctly.
Never squeeze your rat and avoid restraining it for more than a few seconds at a time. Keep your hands open and let the rat move around at will. By spending time in your hands, your rat will get used to your scent and bond with you.
Pick up your rat by placing your hand under its belly. Try to use two hands when picking it up. Putting your rat on its back so that its belly is exposed is a sign of dominance and can be stressful to your rat, especially when there is no real reason at that particular moment for you to be asserting dominance.
Once it’s used to being held, try to simply hold your hand out and let the rat come to you.
4. Playing Games with Your Rat
4-1. Make food fun for your rats.
Remember that the are very intelligent animals and can get very bored. One fun game is to put corn, peas and diced carrots (no beans) into a bowl of water for your rats so they can splash in the water and 'bob' for their snacks. This game is especially nice on hot days. It is a good idea to use a heavier dish such as glass or ceramic so your rats do not accidentally spill the water onto the floor. Do not use a dish that the rats could get trapped in and always supervise them while they are playing this game!
4-2. Another game that is fun for your rat engages their natural foraging behaviour and does not require constant supervision.
Fill a shoe box or any box that they can easily climb in and out of (i.e. 6 inches or less in height) with grass hay (do not use Timothy hay or alfalfa as you are using the hay for the game but do not want them to eat a lot of it - read up on rats and alfalfa). Sprinkle some dried oats, seeds (unsalted) or other small, non-sugary snacks onto the grass hay and mix it slightly so that bits of snack can be found throughout the hay. Your rats will love searching for their favourite dried snacks!
4-3. A hanging snack ball is also a great way to engage your rats during snack time.
These are hollow, cage-like balls that allow you to put fruits and veggies inside the ball and hang from the top of their cage so that your buddies have to work a bit harder for their snacks!
4-4. Check out the bird section of your local pet store or online for fun games.
Oftentimes, the birds have better toys than the small animal section!
4-5. Build mazes.
Rats are known for their ability to take logical approaches to solving mazes. This is a great way to exercise your rat’s mental ability. You can make mazes and obstacle courses out of cardboard boxes or toilet paper tubes taped together.
Rats are climbers so try to stack the boxes up. Make sure the climbing structures are sturdy enough to not to collapse under your rats' weight.
If you are feeling ambitious, try creating obstacle features like hoops, see-saws, ramps, weaving poles and tunnels.
Use treats or moving objects to lead it through the maze.
Rats will instinctively chase something that moves quickly so pulling a string or rolling a small bouncy ball will also work.
4-6. Tear up some paper.
Try tearing some paper into strips and giving your rat one piece at a time. It will grab the paper, stash it away and return for more. This will build trust by teaching your rat that you have and want to share treasures it enjoys.
4-7. Play hide-and-seek.
If you hide behind something, your rat might come looking for you and get excited when it finds you. It’s best to do this after you’ve hand-tamed your rat so it knows your scent and can try to follow it.
Make sure you’re not too far away or it might get lost.
4-8. Let it play in the dirt.
Rats like to play in the dirt and will dig in your house plants if they find them. Give them a digging box full of sterile soil that will allow them to dig and forage without ruining your plants or eating a poisonous fertilizer.
Put a large towel or outdoor tablecloth on a flat surface underneath the box.
You can use a shoe box or anything of similar size. Add soil to the box and bury treats or toys into the dirt. If your rats tend to get sick often, it might be best to avoid this game.

If you are using placemats or something similar, you should wash these each week (rats won't pee in their nest/bed but they will pee on the floor of their house; it's important to always clean up pee).\\n2. Keeping Your Rat Healthy\\nKeeping your rat's cage clean, refraining from using dusty litters and woodchips, and removing uneaten food both go a very long way in keeping you rat healthy.\\nHowever, rats are known to have very weak respiratory systems and it's not unusual for your rat to get sick at some point in their life. If you hear your rat sneezing, coughing, wheezing or constantly making a deep purring sound, or if you see discharge around the eyes or nose, take your rat to the vet immediately. Your rat will need antibiotics and/or antivirals to prevent other infectious bacteria and viruses from taking advantage of an already compromised immune system. Always keep an eye out for signs of illness in your rat but especially following times of high stress such as a move, separation or death.\\n3. Socializing Your Rat\\n3-1. Like dogs and cats, rats are much easier to socialize when they’re younger.\\nIf you have your choice and are looking to interact with your rat or introduce a new rat to your current rats, pick one that is under 6 months old. After this age, they begin to develop their social behaviour and if they live in the wild or without much human contact, that is what they’ll be used to.. That said, do not overlook older rats that are in need of a new home! All rats are wonderful, some just may take longer to be comfortable in their new surroundings.\\nOlder rats can be socialized with the same methods but you’ll need to be more patient as it will take them longer to trust you.\\n3-2. Offer treats from your hand.\\nRats will come to trust your hands if they associate them with food. Start by hold the food with your fingertips.\\nAfter you’ve fed it from your fingertips a few times, hold the food in the palm of your hand and let the rat sit in your hand as you eat. Eventually, it’ll instinctively walk onto your hand anytime you hold it out.\\n3-3. Speak softly.\\nRats, much like dogs, have the ability to differentiate voice patterns. Try to repeatedly say its name softly over time. It may learn to remember its name and come to you when you say it as long as you reward it with treats..Remember to reward your rat for coming to you when called with a small piece of a snack.\\nBecause a rat’s eardrums are so small, it won’t be able to differentiate sounds that are too loud. Try whispering with your mouth close to its ear.\\n3-4. Hold your rat correctly.\\nNever squeeze your rat and avoid restraining it for more than a few seconds at a time. Keep your hands open and let the rat move around at will. By spending time in your hands, your rat will get used to your scent and bond with you.\\nPick up your rat by placing your hand under its belly. Try to use two hands when picking it up. Putting your rat on its back so that its belly is exposed is a sign of dominance and can be stressful to your rat, especially when there is no real reason at that particular moment for you to be asserting dominance.\\nOnce it’s used to being held, try to simply hold your hand out and let the rat come to you.\\n4. Playing Games with Your Rat\\n4-1. Make food fun for your rats.\\nRemember that the are very intelligent animals and can get very bored. One fun game is to put corn, peas and diced carrots (no beans) into a bowl of water for your rats so they can splash in the water and 'bob' for their snacks. This game is especially nice on hot days. It is a good idea to use a heavier dish such as glass or ceramic so your rats do not accidentally spill the water onto the floor. Do not use a dish that the rats could get trapped in and always supervise them while they are playing this game!\\n4-2. Another game that is fun for your rat engages their natural foraging behaviour and does not require constant supervision.\\nFill a shoe box or any box that they can easily climb in and out of (i.e. 6 inches or less in height) with grass hay (do not use Timothy hay or alfalfa as you are using the hay for the game but do not want them to eat a lot of it - read up on rats and alfalfa). Sprinkle some dried oats, seeds (unsalted) or other small, non-sugary snacks onto the grass hay and mix it slightly so that bits of snack can be found throughout the hay. Your rats will love searching for their favourite dried snacks!\\n4-3. A hanging snack ball is also a great way to engage your rats during snack time.\\nThese are hollow, cage-like balls that allow you to put fruits and veggies inside the ball and hang from the top of their cage so that your buddies have to work a bit harder for their snacks!\\n4-4. Check out the bird section of your local pet store or online for fun games.\\nOftentimes, the birds have better toys than the small animal section!\\n4-5. Build mazes.\\nRats are known for their ability to take logical approaches to solving mazes. This is a great way to exercise your rat’s mental ability. You can make mazes and obstacle courses out of cardboard boxes or toilet paper tubes taped together.\\nRats are climbers so try to stack the boxes up. Make sure the climbing structures are sturdy enough to not to collapse under your rats' weight.\\nIf you are feeling ambitious, try creating obstacle features like hoops, see-saws, ramps, weaving poles and tunnels.\\nUse treats or moving objects to lead it through the maze.\\nRats will instinctively chase something that moves quickly so pulling a string or rolling a small bouncy ball will also work.\\n4-6. Tear up some paper.\\nTry tearing some paper into strips and giving your rat one piece at a time. It will grab the paper, stash it away and return for more. This will build trust by teaching your rat that you have and want to share treasures it enjoys.\\n4-7. Play hide-and-seek.\\nIf you hide behind something, your rat might come looking for you and get excited when it finds you. It’s best to do this after you’ve hand-tamed your rat so it knows your scent and can try to follow it.\\nMake sure you’re not too far away or it might get lost.\\n4-8. Let it play in the dirt.\\nRats like to play in the dirt and will dig in your house plants if they find them. Give them a digging box full of sterile soil that will allow them to dig and forage without ruining your plants or eating a poisonous fertilizer.\\nPut a large towel or outdoor tablecloth on a flat surface underneath the box.\\nYou can use a shoe box or anything of similar size. Add soil to the box and bury treats or toys into the dirt. If your rats tend to get sick often, it might be best to avoid this game.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Rats are highly intelligent animals that are truly underrated as household pets. They have individual personalities and can be socialized to build attachments with people. Make sure to provide the proper basic care, understand your rat’s behavior, and spend a lot of time with it. With some patience, you will have a unique pet that will love spending time with you.\", \"结构\": {\"方法\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Providing Basic Care\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Provide a roomy cage.\", \"描述\": \"You will need a cage that provides at least two cubic feet of space per rat. While this is a good rule of thumb for most rats, there are some situations where rats will require more space. For instance, if you have a larger rat or multiple rats that are sensitive about sharing elbow room, such as many intact male rats, you may want a larger cage.\\nKeep in mind that your rat is going to spend the majority of their life in their cage so giving them a spacious environment will help keep them happier when you are not able to take them out for play.\\nIf you have two rats, it may be better to keep them separate, especially since 2 male rats can get territorial.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Keep the cage clean.\", \"描述\": \"You should be cleaning your rat’s cage at least once a day. For your daily routine, scoop out any visible excrement and wipe down plastic or metal parts of the cage with a baby wipe or wet paper towel. Be sure to use non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning products or regular dish soap.\\nUse rat litter or fleece blanket to line the bottom of the cage. Completely empty out and replace the litter at least once a week. Woodchips and dusty litter should be avoided due to the sensitivity of your rat's respiratory system especially pine, as it is toxic . Litter made from old newspaper is most ideal (ref: veterinarians), while clay litter is high in dust (despite '99.9% dust-free' labels). You can check the dust content by placing the litter in a plastic sandwich bag, shaking the bag and observing how much dust sticks to the inside of the bag.\\nRefrain from using towels and similar fabrics in your rat's cage since your rats may end up swallowing string fibres from these fabrics, which can be harmful. Fleece is a wonderful cage liner, is reusable and is found in most dollar stores. Cloth bedding (i.e not sleeping bags or hammocks) should be changed at least once a week. If you can smell pee or other 'rat smells' in their cage or when you enter the room, then it is time to change the bedding. Again, it's well known that rats have very weak respiratory systems, so keeping your pets around smelly bedding or litter (smelly means bacteria!) can be very harmful.\\nYou should do a thorough cleaning at least once a month that includes wiping down all metal and plastic parts of the cage (bars, litter box, cage base, etc.), washing out the water bottles with soap and water, and washing any sleeping bags, hammocks, etc.\\nEmpty water bottles and refill with fresh water at least every other day. Remove any fresh food (fruits, veggies, etc.) that is not eaten. It will rot and attract bacteria. Also remove any food pellets or dried foods that have become wet.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Feed your rats regularly.\", \"描述\": \"Water should be readily available at all times as rats can easily dehydrate. Have two water bottles present at all times so food and water dominance issues do not arise. Likewise, when feeding your rats snacks (veggies, seeds, fruits, etc.), it is a good idea to make two separate but equal piles. Do not give one rat something that you do not give the other rat. The rat that is missing out on the snack will smell it on the other rat and aggression can arise. The common staple food for rats is a standard lab block or lab pellets. These pellets are designed specifically to meet the dietary requirements of rats and can be supplemented with nuts, fruits, veggies, oats and other fun snacks. Oxbow rat food is a wonderful staple pellet. Do not feed your rats rabbit, hamster or other small animal pellets as the nutritional requirements of each small animal are different. It can be very difficult to meet the nutritional requirements of your rat by creating your own diet for them and missing nutrients can be detrimental to your rat's health. For this reason, it is often better to use a store-bought pellet as the staple of your rat's diet and supplement their diet with other foods. Avoid the colourful pellets at the pet store - they may seem tastier but are not often as wholesome as Oxbow or similar, and the artificial dyes can cause stomach upset.\\nStart by feeding your rat one table spoon of these foods twice per day. Once it gets used to food being readily available, it will learn that it doesn’t need to overeat and you can leave a small bowl of food in there at all times.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Add some variety.\", \"描述\": \"Rats can eat a wide variety of meats, fruits and vegetables. Try to mix in a few more wholesome foods along with the typical rat food you buy at the pet store. You can add in these foods as often as you’d like and should include roughage vegetables at least once a week.. Do not feed your rat too much protein as the pellets already have enough protein in them. Meats should be limited to one small serving once a week or very small servings (e.g. one dog kibble) a couple of times per week.\\nStrawberries, grapes, apples, blueberries, leafy greens, squash, cucumber, potatoes and sprouts are all excellent options for adding some variety to your rat’s diet. Once your rat is old enough to self-regulate their food intake (i.e. not over-eat), you can give your rats fresh veggies, oats and other snacks once a day. Remember to give them a nice variety so they do not get bored! For example, a yummy daily rat salad may consist of 1 bok choy leaf, 2 dandelion leaves, 1 collard green leaf (depending on size), kale and half a slice of apple or a couple of blueberries. Get to know your rat; some rats may eat everything that is in front of them while other may stop eating when they are full. You do not want your rats to fill up on veggies and not eat their pellets but if they are doing a good job of self-regulating, you can give them more than a couple of leaves and remove any uneaten leaves the next day.\\nMeats like chicken, beef, tuna and liver are also great for rats. Make sure you mash them up a bit before serving so they’re easier to digest. There are a lot of great resources on rat diets online; be sure to read through a few before deciding on what you will allow your rat to have as you may notice some contradictions in the do's and don't's of feeding rats. For example, mangoes are toxic to male rats but can be fed to female rats. Green beans are healthy for rats but only if they are cooked; do not feed your rat raw green beans. Likewise, do not feed your rat raw brussel sprouts.\\nMonitor your rat's weight to make sure that its weight isn't interfering with its ability to move around. That's a clear sign your rat is overweight.\"}, {\"编号\": 5, \"标题\": \"Avoid certain foods.\", \"描述\": \"Despite the stereotype, rats should not eat cheese as most rats are lactose intolerant.

How to Bond with Pet Finches
|
1. Getting Finches Comfortable in Your Presence
1-1. Make the same noise each time you enter the room.
When you first get pet finches, they will likely be nervous in your presence. In order to get them more comfortable, you need to demonstrate that you are not threatening. Try making the same calming noise each time you enter the room with the bird cage. This will help them get to know when you are around.
For example, you could make a low whistle sound.
1-2. Avoid making quick movements.
The finches may panic or become nervous when quick motions happen near their cage. You do not want them to associate you with a negative experience. As a result, you should always move slowly and carefully around their cage.
1-3. Don’t look down on the cage.
Try to position the cage at eye level and avoid looking down on the finches inside the cage. This can cause them to feel vulnerable and nervous. Instead, it is best to look at the finches at eye level.
If you are unable to position the cage at eye level, crouch down when looking into the cage so that you don't intimidate the birds.
1-4. Speak to your finches in a calm voice.
When you are in the room with your finches, speak to them in a calm and quiet voice. Give them treats each time you enter or exit the room. Eventually they will begin to make a positive association with your voice.
They may even respond to your voice with chirps, but don’t expect them to mimic your noises.
1-5. Spend time watching your finches daily.
Sit in the room with your finches on a daily basis. You will begin to notice that they are comfortable in your presence. For example, they will stop fluttering around the cage and will begin preening, feeding, and bathing. These are signs that they are comfortable with you.
At minimum you should try and spend at least an hour in the room with their cage. The more time you spend in the room with them the quicker you will bond with the birds.
1-6. Provide a quiet environment.
Place your finch cage in a quiet environment and avoid moving the cage around frequently. Your finches should be located away from the hustle and bustle of the household and should not be kept in a main or central room. Instead, place them in a quiet room with a door that can be closed.
The door does not need to remain closed at all times, but should be closed if the house becomes loud or there is lots of activity happening that might frighten your finches.
2. Handling a Finch
2-1. Place your palm across the finch's back and wings.
You may need to pick up your finch in your hand to remove it from the cage periodically. To do this, place your palm around the finch's back and across their wings. Your index and middle fingers should wrap around the bird’s neck and your them and remaining fingers can be cupped around the bird for support.
You may need to handle the bird in order to clean out the cage, or to remove aggressive or injured finches from the cage.
2-2. Don’t squeeze the bird too tight.
While you are handling the bird, don't hold it too tightly or squeeze its body. Make sure that the bird has room to breathe and expand their chest in your hand, so that they do not suffocate.
2-3. Speak gently to the bird when handling it.
Handling a finch can be an unfamiliar and scary experience for the bird. In order to make your finch more comfortable, you should talk to the bird in a soft and reassuring voice. Alternatively, you could try whistling to the bird.
If your bird has bonded with you, then it will know the sound of your voice and will feel reassured by your presence.
3. Training a Finch to Perch on Your Finger
3-1. Isolate a single bird before finger training.
Finches are often kept together in a single cage because they are social birds. Before you begin finger training your finch, you should isolate one finch in a separate cage. You should only train one bird at a time. To do this, simply remove a finch from the communal cage and place it in a separate cage during each training session.
If multiple finches are kept in 1 cage, they may bond with each other instead of you. This is why it is important to isolate them during training.
3-2. Position your hands near the cage.
Before you begin finger training your finch, ensure that it is comfortable with your hand. Start by moving your hands around near the cage while talking to your finch in a soothing voice. Once it becomes comfortable with your hand near the cage, try putting your hand inside of the cage a few times a day. This will help the bird get used to your hand.
This process will likely take a few days and can not be rushed.
3-3. Place your hand in the cage daily.
Now that the finch is comfortable with your hand, you can try placing your hand inside the cage. The bird will likely retreat to the far side of the cage and that is fine. Continue to place your hand in their cage daily. After a while, it will become more comfortable and possibly even curious.
3-4. Hold a treat for the finch.
Once the finch is comfortable with your hand in the cage, you can begin offering small treats, such as a small piece of fruit. This will help to entice the bird to your hand. Repeat this process until your bird comes to your hand routinely. At this point, the finch will likely perch on your hand or finger.
3-5. Finch proof the room.
Before you attempt to remove the finch from the cage while perched on your finger, you need to ensure that the room is safe for the finch to fly around. You will need to close all windows and doors so that the finch does not escape. You should also turn off any ceiling fans, remove other pets from the room, and dim the lights.
3-6. Teach your finch the step-up command.
Finches can be tricky to train, but they can learn simple commands, like "step up." Hold 1 finger out in front of the finch, slightly higher than its perch or feet. Hold a treat above this hand with the other hand. As the bird steps up onto your finger, say "step up" and give it the treat. Do this a few times a day until your finch steps up on command.
3-7. Remove the finch from the cage.
Once the finch is comfortable perched on your finger inside the cage, you can slowly remove your hand and the bird from the cage. Your finch may remain on your hand once outside the cage, but it may also fly around the room. You can position a few perches close to the cage so that the finch has something to land on.
3-8. Don’t chase the bird back to the cage.
Keep the door to the cage open at all times. The finch may fly back into the cage on its own. Never chase the finch back into the cage. This will cause the bird stress. Instead, you can try and lure it back into the cage using treats.
For example, you could place some fruit or insects inside the cage. Your finch will likely be unable to resist.
Warnings
If there are multiple finches kept together, they will be less likely to bond with humans, as they will bond with each other instead.
You can't train a pet finch to fly onto your finger from afar (like a well-trained budgie or cockatiel).[17]

Make sure that the bird has room to breathe and expand their chest in your hand, so that they do not suffocate.\\n2-3. Speak gently to the bird when handling it.\\nHandling a finch can be an unfamiliar and scary experience for the bird. In order to make your finch more comfortable, you should talk to the bird in a soft and reassuring voice. Alternatively, you could try whistling to the bird.\\nIf your bird has bonded with you, then it will know the sound of your voice and will feel reassured by your presence.\\n3. Training a Finch to Perch on Your Finger\\n3-1. Isolate a single bird before finger training.\\nFinches are often kept together in a single cage because they are social birds. Before you begin finger training your finch, you should isolate one finch in a separate cage. You should only train one bird at a time. To do this, simply remove a finch from the communal cage and place it in a separate cage during each training session.\\nIf multiple finches are kept in 1 cage, they may bond with each other instead of you. This is why it is important to isolate them during training.\\n3-2. Position your hands near the cage.\\nBefore you begin finger training your finch, ensure that it is comfortable with your hand. Start by moving your hands around near the cage while talking to your finch in a soothing voice. Once it becomes comfortable with your hand near the cage, try putting your hand inside of the cage a few times a day. This will help the bird get used to your hand.\\nThis process will likely take a few days and can not be rushed.\\n3-3. Place your hand in the cage daily.\\nNow that the finch is comfortable with your hand, you can try placing your hand inside the cage. The bird will likely retreat to the far side of the cage and that is fine. Continue to place your hand in their cage daily. After a while, it will become more comfortable and possibly even curious.\\n3-4. Hold a treat for the finch.\\nOnce the finch is comfortable with your hand in the cage, you can begin offering small treats, such as a small piece of fruit. This will help to entice the bird to your hand. Repeat this process until your bird comes to your hand routinely. At this point, the finch will likely perch on your hand or finger.\\n3-5. Finch proof the room.\\nBefore you attempt to remove the finch from the cage while perched on your finger, you need to ensure that the room is safe for the finch to fly around. You will need to close all windows and doors so that the finch does not escape. You should also turn off any ceiling fans, remove other pets from the room, and dim the lights.\\n3-6. Teach your finch the step-up command.\\nFinches can be tricky to train, but they can learn simple commands, like \\\"step up.\\\" Hold 1 finger out in front of the finch, slightly higher than its perch or feet. Hold a treat above this hand with the other hand. As the bird steps up onto your finger, say \\\"step up\\\" and give it the treat. Do this a few times a day until your finch steps up on command.\\n3-7. Remove the finch from the cage.\\nOnce the finch is comfortable perched on your finger inside the cage, you can slowly remove your hand and the bird from the cage. Your finch may remain on your hand once outside the cage, but it may also fly around the room. You can position a few perches close to the cage so that the finch has something to land on.\\n3-8. Don’t chase the bird back to the cage.\\nKeep the door to the cage open at all times. The finch may fly back into the cage on its own. Never chase the finch back into the cage. This will cause the bird stress. Instead, you can try and lure it back into the cage using treats.\\nFor example, you could place some fruit or insects inside the cage. Your finch will likely be unable to resist.\\nWarnings\\nIf there are multiple finches kept together, they will be less likely to bond with humans, as they will bond with each other instead.\\nYou can't train a pet finch to fly onto your finger from afar (like a well-trained budgie or cockatiel).[17]\\nX\\nResearch source\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Finches are a lovely pet that are fairly easy to care for.

How to Bond with a Chihuahua
|
1. Fostering a Strong Bond
1-1. Keep your Chihuahua close.
Chihuahua’s are extremely territorial of their owners and love being around them. They like nothing more than to snuggle up in your lap and nap. Indulge your pets desire to snuggle and keep your Chihuahua close. This will only intensify your dog’s already strong bond.
Consider carrying your Chihuahua in a carrier designed for small dogs.
Hold your Chihuahua in your lap and pet it while you watch TV.
1-2. Feed your dog
One of the easiest ways to establish a bond with any dog is by feeding it. Establishing routine feeding times will help keep your Chihuahua’s anxiety levels down, helping it feel more comfortable with you. Feeding your dog also creates a positive association between you and your Chihuahua’s food.
Avoid leaving the food in the bowl all day. Instead, give the dog its food at mealtime. You want your dog’s positive association with feedings to be with you and not the bowl.
Because Chihuahuas can develop such intense bonds with one person, make sure that you are the one feeding the dog. If someone else is feeding it, your Chihuahua may end up bonding with them.
Command your Chihuahua to sit and stay before you set its food bowl down in front of it. Also, make it wait for your command before it starts eating. This will establish and reinforce some rules for good behavior.
Giving your dog a treat every now and then will also strengthen its affection towards you.
1-3. Groom
Regularly petting and grooming your Chihuahua causes its body to release hormones that make it less anxious. This will also strengthen its bond with you. Stroke your dog’s fur while it sits in your lap. If you have a long-haired Chihuahua, give its coat a regular brushing. The more that you touch your Chihuahua, the closer its bond with you will be.
Washing your Chihuahua and clipping its nails will also help strengthen your bond.
Because they tend to only bond with one person, you should groom your dog and avoid hiring someone else to do it. Your Chihuahua may react negatively to someone else.
1-4. Train your dog
Training is a great way to build a bond between you and your Chihuahua. You will spend more time together. You will also give it encouragement and the occasional treat. All of these things will build a sense of teamwork and strengthen the bond between you and your dog.
Rewarding your dog with treats will reinforce good behavior and create a positive association between you and treats.
Maintain an even and warm tone during training. Getting frustrated and yelling at your dog will frighten your Chihuahua and make it anxious around you.
Without training, Chihuahuas can develop mean tendencies, such as growling and snapping. Be persistent in your training to ensure that your Chihuahua is enjoyable to be around.
Chihuahuas can be difficult to train. You may want to work with a trainer. However, you will need to be present and conduct much of the training to ensure that your dog bonds with you.
1-5. Play with your Chihuahua
In general, playing with your dog is one of the best ways to build a strong bond between an owner and their pet. You can play fetch, hide-and-seek, tug-of-war and other games with your dog. As you do more things that it enjoys, your Chihuahua will develop a positive association between you and having fun.
Try to avoid roughhousing with your Chihuahua. They are delicate dogs that can be easily injured.
If you take your Chihuahua on a walk, only go a short distance. Chihuahuas exert their energy in short bursts and do not have the stamina for long walks.
2. Helping a New Dog Feel Comfortable
2-1. Keep things relaxed.
Whether you are bringing home a puppy or a rescue dog, the first thing you will need to do is create a safe space for your Chihuahua. The new dog will be very anxious about its new environment. You can make its transition smoother by keeping your home quiet and relaxed. Once your Chihuahua has settled in, you can begin building a bond between the two of you.
Initially, keep your new Chihuahua away from any other pets you may have.
Ask your family members or roommates to be quite while the new dog adjusts.
2-2. Let your new Chihuahua explore.
Once your dog has settled in, let it investigate its new surroundings. Your new Chihuahua will want to explore and familiarize itself with its new home. By allowing your new dog to explore, you are helping it feel more relaxed and safe in your home. This is particularly important for Chihuahuas who tend to prefer indoor staying indoors. Through exploration, your dog will relax and get to know your scents, facilitating the bonding process.
Do not leave the dog locked up in a room. This will increase its anxiety and make it more fearful of you, limiting your ability to bond with it.
2-3. Be careful when socializing your Chihuahua.
If you have family members or other dogs, you will want to be very careful when it comes to socializing your Chihuahua. Because they form such intense bonds with only one of their owners, Chihuahuas are territorial and aggressive towards anyone or anything that is not that person. Initially, you will want to limit your new dog’s interaction with your family and any other dogs.
Socializing a young Chihuahua will help it be less territorial. However, an adopted or rescue dog may not have been properly socialized and have behavioral problems.
A Chihuahua’s territorial nature can be extremely problematic around other dogs. Chihuahuas often pick fights with much bigger dogs and, because of their small frame, they tend to get badly injured.
Unfortunately, because Chihuahuas are so territorial of their owner, your dog may never be friendly to your family members or any other dogs. Be sure to consider this before bringing home a Chihuahua.
2-4. Begin your Chihuahua’s routine.
It is important that you start your dog’s feeding and exercise routine immediately. This will help it relax and acclimate to its new home. Feeding and play are also two of the main ways in which you can build your relationship with your dog. By starting a feeding and play routine immediately, you are getting on the fast track to bonding with your Chihuahua.
Establishing a regular feeding routine is particularly important since this is the best way to bond with your Chihuahua.
3. Building a Healthy Relationship with Your Chihuahua
3-1. Establish your alpha status.
Be sure to establish that you are the alpha in the pack. Dogs are pack animals and feel secure when they understand the household’s hierarchy. In order to create a healthy bonding situation between you and your dog, you will need to establish the proper hierarchy between you and your dog.
Demonstrate to your dog that you control its food. If your Chihuahua is being possessive of its food, take away its bowl and then return it later. This will demonstrate that you are in charge.
When you walk your dog, you should also make sure that you do not let the dog lead or tug on the leash. Instead, you should lead the dog or allow it to walk beside you. If you have difficulties with controlling your Chihuahua while walking it, try using a head collar to help minimize your chihuahua’s ability to pull on the leash.
3-2. Speak in a calm tone.
When you interact with your Chihuahua, stay calm and speak to them in a warm and positive manner. Remember that dogs cannot understand the words you say. However, they do understand your tone and speaking with a friendly tone will increase their affinity towards you.
Remember to keep a calm and warm tone even if your dog misbehaves. Yelling at your dog will only make it fearful of you.
3-3. Use positive reinforcement.
Rewarding your dog for good behavior is a great way to build the bond between you and your Chihuahua. By giving your dog praise and a treat when it does well, your dog will develop a positive association between you and getting a reward. This will also help you properly train your dog.

How to Bond with a Macaw
|
1. Forming an Initial Bond
1-1. Learn how to correctly pet your macaw.
Proper handling is a vital part of acclimating and socializing your new bird. Pet or caress its head and feet only, as it might interpret full strokes from the head to tail as mating behavior. It might become more possessive of you if it views you as a mate instead of as a companion.
It’ll appreciate head scratches, where itchy new feathers grow that it can’t quite reach.
Touching its feet will help prepare it for nail trimmings in the future.
1-2. Provide plenty of out of cage time during the first two days.
If your macaw is already tame and confident, start forging your bond by spending lots of out-of-cage time with it. When you first bring it home, keep it out of its cage for at least 20 minutes, and try to keep cage time to a minimum during the day.
If you keep it in its cage when you first bring it home, it might view the cage as its only safe spot. Close off the room where the cage is located, and hang out with your bird in the secured room to help it get used to you and its new home.
If the bird isn't tame or seems anxious, keep it in its cage until it gets used to its new home.
1-3. Establish a routine.
Feed and play with your bird at approximately the same daily times, and work on getting it used to being alone for a little while. Try leaving the house, then come back inside immediately. Leave again and stay outside for longer increments to help prevent separation anxiety when you leave for a longer duration.
When you enter the house, don’t rush to the cage. Wait a few minutes before approaching the cage so the bird doesn’t expect immediate attention when you walk in the door.
1-4. Have all of your household members interact with your macaw.
Macaws often bond with just one owner or household member. Have everyone in your home talk, play, and offer treats to your new macaw to socialize it. It might not truly bond with others, but it’ll become used to their presence.
1-5. Get to know your bird’s body language.
Observing your individual bird is the best way to learn how it communicates. However, some behaviors have common meanings among parrots. For example, a lifted crest, tail shake, hopping, and hanging from the cage usually mean it wants to play.
A fully extended or flat crest accompanied by hissing is a sign of aggression. Tail bobbing (pumping with its breath) means your parrot is trying to catch its breath.
2. Playing with Your Pet
2-1. Spend lots of quality time with your macaw.
All macaw species are social and fairly dependent birds. You’ll need to spend time with it every day, and it shouldn’t go more than several hours by itself.
Talk, dance, and play with your macaw daily, and keep its cage in a place where it can see you when you’re reading, watching television, or just relaxing.
Avoid going out of town for the first year. When you do eventually have to leave it for more than a day, have someone you and the parrot both trust housesit.
2-2. Provide plenty of toys and teach your macaw how to play with them.
Keep a steady rotation of toys with a variety of colors, textures, and moving parts. When you introduce a new toy, play with it yourself in front of your macaw so it understands that the new object is a fun thing.
Given their intelligence, food dispensing puzzle toys are great for macaws.
Replace an older toy with a new one or another from its collection every week or two so it doesn’t get bored.
2-3. Make sure your macaw has objects it can chew and destroy.
Macaws love to chew and destroy, so give it parrot chew toys, cardboard, wood scraps, and natural branch perches (such as manzanita or eucalyptus) to help satisfy its instinct to nibble.
Providing objects it can chew will help keep it from biting or nibbling on your fingers. Nothing is worse for bonding with your macaw than a bite from its powerful beak.
3. Training Your Macaw
3-1. Use food rewards to train your macaw.
Macaws are food-driven birds, so treats will come in handy during training. Experiment with a variety of parrot treats and seeds to find its favorites. Offer treats when you’re teaching it specific commands and to reinforce acceptable behavior.
You can also try sharing your own food, as long as it's bird-friendly. For example, you could eat a banana in front of the bird and offer him a small slice. This can help it bond with and trust you.
3-2. Teach your macaw the step up command.
Having it step up onto your hand or arm is the safest way to handle a large bird, and most parrots can easily learn the command. Hold your arm or a handheld perch just above and in front of your parrot’s feet. Offer a treat to encourage it to get onto your arm or the perch, and say “Step up!”
Give it the treat even if it just reaches without stepping up. Repeat the process until it actually steps up, but take breaks if your bird shows signs of frustration.
3-3. Towel train your bird.
Teaching your macaw to love towels will make it easier to restrain it if it ever becomes necessary. Show it a hand towel and offer a treat when your bird investigates it. Play games like peekaboo and tug, and give lots of verbal praise when it’s near the towel so it forms a positive association.
If you need to restrain your bird to bring it to the vet or give it medicine, a positive association with the towel will help keep it calm.
3-4. Teach your bird to talk.
While they’re not considered the best talkers in the parrot family, macaws can be taught to memorize words. When teaching your macaw to talk, speak clearly, slowly, and start with easy words like “hello,” “bird,” or its name. Repeat the word over and over again, and offer treats and lots of praise when it speaks for the first time.
3-5. Use positive reinforcement training to deal with behavior issues.
Ignore negative behaviors as best you can, and offer treats and praise to reinforce acceptable behaviors. Avoid using force or yelling to punish negative behaviors, or you might accidentally reinforce them.
For example, train your macaw to make less noise by ignoring sounds you don’t like and offering treats when it makes quieter vocalizations. Keep in mind macaws are naturally noisy, so you’ll have to accept some vocalizations.
If it bites or acts aggressively, blow gently in its face to deter its biting, but otherwise ignore it. Give it a treat when you see it playing nicely and independently with its toys.
When you ignore unwanted behaviors, don’t even look at your macaw. If possible, leave the room for a few minutes.
Tips
Some pet stores might claim that the best way to bond with a new bird is to hand feed and wean it yourself. However, always avoid getting an unweaned bird. Hand feeding and weaning are complicated, delicate processes that take years to master.[15]

How to Bond with an Aloof Dog
|
1. Spending Time With Your Dog
1-1. Play with your dog.
A good way to build a bond with an aloof dog is to play with them. Dogs love to run, chase, and chew. Incorporate these things into your interactions with your dog. You may have to coax them into playing because they’re aloof, but keep working at it until the dog comes around.
Try going out into the backyard and running around with your dog. You can try playing fetch with them by throwing toys they enjoy.
Just because your dog won’t fetch doesn’t mean they don’t like to play. Try different games or toys like tug-of-war, frisbees, and balls that light up or make noise.
Get Kong toys and hide cheese or treats inside them so they can work to get them out.
1-2. Walk your dog.
You can bond with your dog by taking them for walks every day. Keep the leash loose so they can explore while they are with you. This will stimulate them and provide them with entertainment, and they will connect this positive experience with you. By controlling the leash and leading the dog, you are helping show the dog you protect and care for them.
Talk to your dog while you walk them. Pet them occasionally and interact on the walk.
Let your dog explore instead of forcing them to do what you want to do the entire time. If they want to stop and sniff something, let them. However, remember you are the leader and are protecting them. Make sure they don’t end up in something dangerous.
You can make the walks more interesting by exploring different parks, neighborhoods, dog parks, beaches, or trails that are available near where you live. Going on new adventures together will help create a bond between you and your dog.
1-3. Spend time with your dog.
You are not going to bond with your dog if you don’t spend time with them. You can do this by playing and exercising with your dog, taking them to obedience classes, training them, and being in the same room with them.
Encourage your dog to lay or sleep in the room you are in. When you are in the living room, fix up a bed for them to lay on or place blankets near the couch or chair. Fix them a bed in the bedroom so they can sleep near you.
1-4. Give your pet physical affection.
Touching your dog can help you build a bond. Touch involves many different things. You can pet your dog, paying attention to places they like to be petted and places they don’t.
Try grooming your dog. This touch can make your dog feel safe and start to build a bond between you.
Like humans, dogs need lots of physical contact so spend time petting, scratching, and rubbing your dog. Even just letting your dog lay with you on the couch can help your dog bond with you.
2. Making a Connection
2-1. Be consistent with your dog.
Bonding with your dog is easier when you are consistent. Dogs like routine and clear expectations. When you use the same commands, expect the same behavior, and reinforce rules the same way, your dog will respect you and feel comfortable because they know what to expect.
For example, if you don’t want your dog on the furniture, don’t let them on the furniture. Don’t allow them on the couch or bed for a “special treat,” and then punish them when they get on the furniture the next time.
2-2. Remain calm.
You cannot gain a dog’s trust and bond with them if you are not calm. Yelling, getting angry, or lashing out is one guaranteed way of making an aloof dog even more aloof. Instead, respond to frustrations with a calm voice and level manner.
If you are frustrated with your aloof dog, take a moment to breathe. Inhale through your nose and then out for a count of 4. This will help you control your temper.
If you want to get angry, yell, or hit the dog, walk out of the room. These behaviors will do more harm than good.
2-3. Use consistent commands.
Dogs are good at learning physical commands, and eventually learning vocal commands, but they get confused when you change it up. Using consistent commands helps your dog know what you expect, act accordingly, and receive praise from you, which helps strengthen the bond.
They can’t understand you when you talk to them. They understand consistent gestures and one-word commands they’ve been taught.
3. Establishing Trust
3-1. Respect the dog’s space.
Aloof dogs may take time to warm up to you. This may be due to their upbringing, the fact that they were in a shelter, or their overall temperament. Don’t shower too much attention on the dog. Let the dog know you are there, show them affection, but give them space. Let them come to you. Don’t always go to them.
While you are bonding with your aloof dog, it will take time for them to warm to you. As you work on the bond, give them time to miss you and make the decision for themselves to come to you and want to be near you.
Work with the dog and be patient while you both learn each other’s likes, dislikes and space requirements.
3-2. Pay attention to your dog’s dislikes.
Dogs, like people, have preferences. A way to bond with your dog is to figure out what they like and don’t so you can avoid forcing them to do or eat things they don’t like.
For example, your dog may hate having their ears touched, wearing clothes, or being around loud noises. Knowing what to not do around your dog can help demonstrate to them that you care and strengthen their sense that you will protect them.
3-3. Make the dog rely on you for food.
You may want to adopt a routine where you feed your dog instead of leaving food out all day. This can help your dog associate you with food, which will help you be an important provider for them.
Pick 2 to 3 times each day you can consistently give your dog food. Feed your dog at the same time every day.
3-4. Avoid using violent actions.
To build trust with your aloof dog, you should never use violence. This includes physical violence, like hitting or kicking, as well as harsh words. Yelling or screaming will not get an aloof dog to bond with you.
Usually, a raised voice with a firm “no” is enough to teach a dog not to repeat a behavior.
Don't punish your dog for not wanting to do things they don't want to do, like go for walks, be groomed, or take a bath. Instead, be patient, calm, and use positive reinforcement.
Use short time-outs in the dog’s crate as a consequence for bad behavior, if necessary. ===Dealing with Resistance and Setbacks===
3-5. Take your dog to the vet.
If your dog doesn't warm up to you or doesn't get excited around you, you may consider taking them to the vet. There may be an underlying medical problem that is causing them to feel bad or be lethargic.
Some medical conditions can cause fatigue, depression, or overall lack of exuberance.
3-6. Consider whether or not you dog is frightened of you.
Another reason your dog may be aloof is because they have had a bad experience with you. Figure out if you have punished your dog when you have come home or when the dog has approached you.
If you believe this is a reason for your dog to be aloof, you should work on providing your dog with more positive associations with you. For example, after you come home, give your dog love, take them for a walk, or play with them. When the dog comes when you call them, give them a treat.
3-7. Emphasize positive experiences.
If your dog remains aloof, try to make every experience positive. This includes things your dog may hate, like a bath. When you need to do something your dog may not like, try to use positive reinforcement to make it more pleasant for your dog and form a bond with them.
For example, you may get bath toys for or give treats to your dog to help make it a better experience. This may have to be done gradually as you help train your dog to associate positive ideas with the unwelcome activity.

You can try playing fetch with them by throwing toys they enjoy.\\nJust because your dog won’t fetch doesn’t mean they don’t like to play. Try different games or toys like tug-of-war, frisbees, and balls that light up or make noise.\\nGet Kong toys and hide cheese or treats inside them so they can work to get them out.\\n1-2. Walk your dog.\\nYou can bond with your dog by taking them for walks every day. Keep the leash loose so they can explore while they are with you. This will stimulate them and provide them with entertainment, and they will connect this positive experience with you. By controlling the leash and leading the dog, you are helping show the dog you protect and care for them.\\nTalk to your dog while you walk them. Pet them occasionally and interact on the walk.\\nLet your dog explore instead of forcing them to do what you want to do the entire time. If they want to stop and sniff something, let them. However, remember you are the leader and are protecting them. Make sure they don’t end up in something dangerous.\\nYou can make the walks more interesting by exploring different parks, neighborhoods, dog parks, beaches, or trails that are available near where you live. Going on new adventures together will help create a bond between you and your dog.\\n1-3. Spend time with your dog.\\nYou are not going to bond with your dog if you don’t spend time with them. You can do this by playing and exercising with your dog, taking them to obedience classes, training them, and being in the same room with them.\\nEncourage your dog to lay or sleep in the room you are in. When you are in the living room, fix up a bed for them to lay on or place blankets near the couch or chair. Fix them a bed in the bedroom so they can sleep near you.\\n1-4. Give your pet physical affection.\\nTouching your dog can help you build a bond. Touch involves many different things. You can pet your dog, paying attention to places they like to be petted and places they don’t.\\nTry grooming your dog. This touch can make your dog feel safe and start to build a bond between you.\\nLike humans, dogs need lots of physical contact so spend time petting, scratching, and rubbing your dog. Even just letting your dog lay with you on the couch can help your dog bond with you.\\n2. Making a Connection\\n2-1. Be consistent with your dog.\\nBonding with your dog is easier when you are consistent. Dogs like routine and clear expectations. When you use the same commands, expect the same behavior, and reinforce rules the same way, your dog will respect you and feel comfortable because they know what to expect.\\nFor example, if you don’t want your dog on the furniture, don’t let them on the furniture. Don’t allow them on the couch or bed for a “special treat,” and then punish them when they get on the furniture the next time.\\n2-2. Remain calm.\\nYou cannot gain a dog’s trust and bond with them if you are not calm. Yelling, getting angry, or lashing out is one guaranteed way of making an aloof dog even more aloof. Instead, respond to frustrations with a calm voice and level manner.\\nIf you are frustrated with your aloof dog, take a moment to breathe. Inhale through your nose and then out for a count of 4. This will help you control your temper.\\nIf you want to get angry, yell, or hit the dog, walk out of the room. These behaviors will do more harm than good.\\n2-3. Use consistent commands.\\nDogs are good at learning physical commands, and eventually learning vocal commands, but they get confused when you change it up. Using consistent commands helps your dog know what you expect, act accordingly, and receive praise from you, which helps strengthen the bond.\\nThey can’t understand you when you talk to them. They understand consistent gestures and one-word commands they’ve been taught.\\n3. Establishing Trust\\n3-1. Respect the dog’s space.\\nAloof dogs may take time to warm up to you. This may be due to their upbringing, the fact that they were in a shelter, or their overall temperament. Don’t shower too much attention on the dog. Let the dog know you are there, show them affection, but give them space. Let them come to you. Don’t always go to them.\\nWhile you are bonding with your aloof dog, it will take time for them to warm to you. As you work on the bond, give them time to miss you and make the decision for themselves to come to you and want to be near you.\\nWork with the dog and be patient while you both learn each other’s likes, dislikes and space requirements.\\n3-2. Pay attention to your dog’s dislikes.\\nDogs, like people, have preferences. A way to bond with your dog is to figure out what they like and don’t so you can avoid forcing them to do or eat things they don’t like.\\nFor example, your dog may hate having their ears touched, wearing clothes, or being around loud noises. Knowing what to not do around your dog can help demonstrate to them that you care and strengthen their sense that you will protect them.\\n3-3. Make the dog rely on you for food.\\nYou may want to adopt a routine where you feed your dog instead of leaving food out all day. This can help your dog associate you with food, which will help you be an important provider for them.\\nPick 2 to 3 times each day you can consistently give your dog food. Feed your dog at the same time every day.\\n3-4. Avoid using violent actions.\\nTo build trust with your aloof dog, you should never use violence. This includes physical violence, like hitting or kicking, as well as harsh words. Yelling or screaming will not get an aloof dog to bond with you.\\nUsually, a raised voice with a firm “no” is enough to teach a dog not to repeat a behavior.\\nDon't punish your dog for not wanting to do things they don't want to do, like go for walks, be groomed, or take a bath. Instead, be patient, calm, and use positive reinforcement.\\nUse short time-outs in the dog’s crate as a consequence for bad behavior, if necessary. ===Dealing with Resistance and Setbacks===\\n3-5. Take your dog to the vet.\\nIf your dog doesn't warm up to you or doesn't get excited around you, you may consider taking them to the vet. There may be an underlying medical problem that is causing them to feel bad or be lethargic.\\nSome medical conditions can cause fatigue, depression, or overall lack of exuberance.\\n3-6. Consider whether or not you dog is frightened of you.\\nAnother reason your dog may be aloof is because they have had a bad experience with you. Figure out if you have punished your dog when you have come home or when the dog has approached you.\\nIf you believe this is a reason for your dog to be aloof, you should work on providing your dog with more positive associations with you. For example, after you come home, give your dog love, take them for a walk, or play with them. When the dog comes when you call them, give them a treat.\\n3-7. Emphasize positive experiences.\\nIf your dog remains aloof, try to make every experience positive. This includes things your dog may hate, like a bath. When you need to do something your dog may not like, try to use positive reinforcement to make it more pleasant for your dog and form a bond with them.\\nFor example, you may get bath toys for or give treats to your dog to help make it a better experience. This may have to be done gradually as you help train your dog to associate positive ideas with the unwelcome activity.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Aloof dogs can be difficult to bond with.

How to Boogie Board
|
1. Getting Started
1-1. Choose a calm spot for boogie boarding.
Go to a swimming beach that has waves less than 2 ft (61 cm) high. Make sure that the beach is free of large rocks, boats, and fishing equipment. Also, make sure that you have permission to boogie board at the location.
1-2. Select a boogie board suited to your height and weight.
When standing on its tail, the board should reach to within 1 in (2.54 cm) of your belly button. As for width, you should be able to hold the board under your arm and against your side without much slack between your armpit and the edge of the board.
Choose a bodyboard shorter than 40 in (101.6 cm) if you are shorter than 5 feet (1.5 m) 6 in (167.6 cm) and weigh less than 130 lbs (59 kg).
Choose a bodyboard between 40 and 43 in (101.6 and 109.2 cm) if you are between 5 feet (1.5 m) 7 in and 6 feet (1.8 m) 3 in (170.2 and 190.5 cm), and weigh between 130 and 210 lbs (59 and 95.3 kg).
Choose a bodyboard taller than 44 in (111.8 cm) if you are taller than 6 feet (1.8 m) 3 in (170.2 cm) and weigh more than 210 lbs (95.3 kg).
1-3. Wax your board.
Adding wax to your board improves its grip. Apply a small amount of surf wax to the top third of the board (called the nose), the bottom third of the board (called the tail), and the rails (the side edges of the boogie board).
1-4. Wear a rashguard.
A rashguard will protect your skin from the sun and also reduce chafing and irritation from the boogie board itself. A rashguard is highly recommended, although you don’t need to have one to boogie board.
1-5. Put on swim fins.
Choose fins, such as those used for snorkeling, that attach to your ankle. Though not a requirement, wearing swim fins will help you kick your way out into the surf and catch waves, as well as steer and control the boogie board.
1-6. Secure the boogie board leash to your wrist or arm.
To avoid losing your board in the current, choose a leash for your bicep or wrist, depending on what you find more comfortable. Most boogie boarders use a bicep leash. Secure the leash to your wrist or to your bicep before entering the water.
2. Riding a Wave
2-1. Get into position.
Wade into the water until you are knee-deep, then lie down with your belly on the board. Your hips should be in contact with the tail of the board. Your hands should be placed on the top corners of the board.
2-2. Kick and paddle to where the waves are breaking.
Be sure to keep your fins underwater. You can choose to paddle with one hand or with both hands. When a wave is about to break, you will see a bulge form at the highest point, or the crest, of the wave.
2-3. Choose the wave you want to ride.
Not every wave will be strong enough to carry you. Attempt smaller, less powerful waves at first and work your way up to larger ones. The larger the wave is, the farther you'll be able to ride it.
2-4. Point the nose of the board toward the beach.
Turn your boogie board around so that you are facing the beach before the wave starts to break. Arch your back and keep your head up.
2-5. Paddle and kick toward the beach.
You want to be moving in the same direction the wave will break. Getting ahead of the wave will help you catch it. Be sure to keep your legs slightly apart and your fins underwater. Scoop the water with your hands to gain speed.
Position yourself in the belly of the wave you are trying to catch; avoid the crest and the tip-top of the wave.
2-6. Catch the wave.
If you have paddled the board at the right speed and in the direction of the wave, you should now feel yourself moving effortlessly toward the beach. You should no longer need to kick or paddle, as the wave will do the work for you. Keep your elbows on the board, rather than in the water, for better control.
3. Trying Maneuvers and Tricks
3-1. Lean left to turn left and lean right to turn right.
To turn right, apply pressure to the board with your right elbow and grip the left rail with your left hand. To turn left, apply pressure to the board with your left elbow and grip the right rail with your right hand.
3-2. Make a bottom turn.
A good bottom turn is the foundation for all other maneuvers, such as 360s.
As the wave catches you, keep your hands over the nose of the board.
Lean onto your left elbow to dig the edge of the body board into the wave.
LIft the right rail with your right hand.
Extend your legs as you turn to prevent your feet from dragging in the water.
After you start to turn, center your body weight on the board and lean forward slightly to gain speed.
3-3. Do a cut back.
A cut back is a turn back to the curl of the wave that you can do to regulate your speed or to reposition yourself along the wave.
Shift your weight on the outside rail (away from the wave) while applying pressure with your right hand to the middle of your right rail.
Lift up the upper left corner of the board with your left hand and lean to your right.
Look at the inside of the wave and visualize the spot where you want to stop your turn.
When you reach that spot, lean left to get back in the curl of the wave and shift your weight back to the normal position.
3-4. Try a 360.
After you've mastered the bottom turn and the cut back, try a full rotation. This can be done on the flat section of a wave, in the white foam, off the lip of the wave, or even in the air. The technique is the exactly the same wherever you attempt a 360.
Make a bottom turn to position yourself in the curl of the wave.
Turn slightly to the left to face the wave.
Slide forward on your board so that your face is roughly level with the nose of your board.
Lift your legs, arch your back, and throw your head to the left.
Keep looking in the direction you want to spin and your shoulder will follow.
After your 360 is complete, perform a bottom turn to gain speed for the next maneuver and put your feet back in the water.
Tips
Pay attention to warning signs on the beach. They may indicate hazards such as rocks, reefs, strong currents, old jetty remains, or jellyfish.
Check the forecast to see how big the waves will be. Waves with a swell of 1 to 2 feet (0.3 to 0.6 m) are recommended for beginners.
Be sure to ride the waves in a path where you won't hit anybody. Colliding with other boarders can cause injuries.
Warnings
Understand the risks of the ocean, which include rip tides, sea creatures, rocks, reefs, and powerful waves. Make sure you only go out in situations that are safe for your ability level.
Always boogie board with a lifeguard present.

How to Book Restaurant Reservations
|
1. Planning Ahead
1-1. Pick the restaurant.
Before you make reservations it's best to decide on what restaurant you'd like to go to. Not every restaurant is willing to take reservations, even if they are consistently busy. For example, some smaller or newer restaurants may not have enough clientele yet to set up a system for reservations. So it's important to know a restaurant's policy before you try to book a table.
1-2. Decide how many people are in your party.
Once you've chosen a restaurant, figure out how many people are going to go to dinner with you. Depending on the size of your party, your wait time may vary. For example, if there are only two of you, you are more likely to have an easier time getting a table. On the other hand, if you are trying to book a table for a party of 10, it's going to be much more difficult. The number of people in your party may also affect how far ahead you need to book your reservation.
If you are unsure whether or not a person will be able to make it, book a table including them anyways. It's easier to have an empty seat rather than trying to add a chair to a table in a crowded restaurant.
1-3. Set a date and time.
Depending on the day of the week, there may be more openings than others. For example, reserving a table on a weekday is easier than trying to book a table over the weekend. Similarly, setting a reservation for “off-hours” rather than the regular “prime time” hours for breakfast, lunch, or dinner will make getting a reservation easier.
You should always have a backup date and time in case there is no availability at the original time you chose.
2. Calling For Reservations
2-1. Call as far ahead of time as possible.
In many cases, you will be able to make a dinner reservation early in the same day. However, if you are planning the dinner ahead of time, call earlier. Most restaurants will accept reservations a few days in advance, and exclusive fine dining venues will often accept (or even require) reservations weeks or months in advance.
2-2. Be as courteous as possible when booking a reservation.
If you are attempting to book a tough reservation, remember that your attitude on the phone will go a long way. Be confident but polite; avoid giving the impression that you feel entitled to a reservation. However, remember that even Michelin-starred restaurants are not in the business of turning away customers. If the host replies that the restaurant has no availability, explain your situation and ask politely if there is any way you can be accommodated in the future.
When calling say, "Hi, I'd like to place a reservation for this coming Saturday at 5." The host will then likely ask how many people are in your party and tell you if that time and date is available. If it's not available, try asking "Is there a table available for an earlier/later time?" If the answer is still no, ask if they can give you their earliest availability and go from there.
2-3. Call to confirm your reservation.
If you book your table a week or more in advance, it's sometimes good to call the day of your reservation just to double-check that you still have it. You should do this as early in the day as you can in case there is a problem. This will allow you to make other plans if you need to, or give you time to work out the problem with the restaurant.
2-4. Call ahead or cancel if you are running late.
Once you've secured your reservation, call ahead and apologize if it looks like you'll be up to 20 minutes late. If you are running much later than that, consider canceling and rescheduling your dinner. Remember that reservations are made for a reason - to make sure as many guests as possible are served on each night. If you are late it affects other guests' reservations.
2-5. Try to arrive 10-15 minutes before your reservation time.
This way you can let the hostess know you've arrived and ensure that your table won't be given to someone else. Many restaurants will have a bar or waiting area that you can sit in and get drinks. However, remember to re-approach the hostess when the time for your reservation comes up so you aren't passed over.
3. Booking Reservations Online
3-1. Try the restaurant's website.
Many restaurants allow you to book a reservation directly on their website. When doing this, you may also be able to see a list of all available dates and times for either the upcoming week or month. The restaurant is likely to require you to create a login or provide an email address or phone number so they can confirm your reservations. However, they should not text or email you anything else outside of updates on your reservation.
3-2. Use an online booking site or mobile application.
If you are unable to book a reservation directly on the restaurant's website, you can try an online booking site like OpenTable or Reservation Genie. These sites will allow you to search restaurants based on your preference of time, date, cuisine, and price range. There are also applications you can put on your phone like NoWait, which allows you to put your name in before heading to the restaurant. An app like this is great for last minute reservations.
3-3. Check your email and phone regularly.
Once you've made your reservations online, you should receive a confirmation either by email or via text. Some of these sites or restaurants may require you to click a link or a button to confirm your reservation. You may also be sent a link to cancel or change your reservation if you need to.
Many of these online booking sites also offer coupons or have membership rewards programs through which you can accumulate perks.
If you can't cancel online, you may have to call the restaurant directly.
Tips
Note that many busy casual restaurants don't accept reservations as a rule; this is why many popular spots can be seen with a long line of customers snaking out the door. Be prepare to wait if you want to dine at a restaurant like this.
Credit card companies often include restaurant discounts in their rewards programs as a means to attract customers, and some high-profile cards even offer exclusive access to heavily booked restaurants.
Warnings
Some restaurants will require a credit card number upon booking your reservation and will charge you a "no show" fee if you do not arrive or cancel in advance.

Be as courteous as possible when booking a reservation.\\nIf you are attempting to book a tough reservation, remember that your attitude on the phone will go a long way. Be confident but polite; avoid giving the impression that you feel entitled to a reservation. However, remember that even Michelin-starred restaurants are not in the business of turning away customers. If the host replies that the restaurant has no availability, explain your situation and ask politely if there is any way you can be accommodated in the future.\\nWhen calling say, \\\"Hi, I'd like to place a reservation for this coming Saturday at 5.\\\" The host will then likely ask how many people are in your party and tell you if that time and date is available. If it's not available, try asking \\\"Is there a table available for an earlier/later time?\\\" If the answer is still no, ask if they can give you their earliest availability and go from there.\\n2-3. Call to confirm your reservation.\\nIf you book your table a week or more in advance, it's sometimes good to call the day of your reservation just to double-check that you still have it. You should do this as early in the day as you can in case there is a problem. This will allow you to make other plans if you need to, or give you time to work out the problem with the restaurant.\\n2-4. Call ahead or cancel if you are running late.\\nOnce you've secured your reservation, call ahead and apologize if it looks like you'll be up to 20 minutes late. If you are running much later than that, consider canceling and rescheduling your dinner. Remember that reservations are made for a reason - to make sure as many guests as possible are served on each night. If you are late it affects other guests' reservations.\\n2-5. Try to arrive 10-15 minutes before your reservation time.\\nThis way you can let the hostess know you've arrived and ensure that your table won't be given to someone else. Many restaurants will have a bar or waiting area that you can sit in and get drinks. However, remember to re-approach the hostess when the time for your reservation comes up so you aren't passed over.\\n3. Booking Reservations Online\\n3-1. Try the restaurant's website.\\nMany restaurants allow you to book a reservation directly on their website. When doing this, you may also be able to see a list of all available dates and times for either the upcoming week or month. The restaurant is likely to require you to create a login or provide an email address or phone number so they can confirm your reservations. However, they should not text or email you anything else outside of updates on your reservation.\\n3-2. Use an online booking site or mobile application.\\nIf you are unable to book a reservation directly on the restaurant's website, you can try an online booking site like OpenTable or Reservation Genie. These sites will allow you to search restaurants based on your preference of time, date, cuisine, and price range. There are also applications you can put on your phone like NoWait, which allows you to put your name in before heading to the restaurant. An app like this is great for last minute reservations.\\n3-3. Check your email and phone regularly.\\nOnce you've made your reservations online, you should receive a confirmation either by email or via text. Some of these sites or restaurants may require you to click a link or a button to confirm your reservation. You may also be sent a link to cancel or change your reservation if you need to.\\nMany of these online booking sites also offer coupons or have membership rewards programs through which you can accumulate perks.\\nIf you can't cancel online, you may have to call the restaurant directly.\\nTips\\nNote that many busy casual restaurants don't accept reservations as a rule; this is why many popular spots can be seen with a long line of customers snaking out the door. Be prepare to wait if you want to dine at a restaurant like this.\\nCredit card companies often include restaurant discounts in their rewards programs as a means to attract customers, and some high-profile cards even offer exclusive access to heavily booked restaurants.\\nWarnings\\nSome restaurants will require a credit card number upon booking your reservation and will charge you a \\\"no show\\\" fee if you do not arrive or cancel in advance.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Whether you are on a tight schedule or not, making a reservation at a restaurant will help alleviate a lot of stress.

The number of people in your party may also affect how far ahead you need to book your reservation.\\nIf you are unsure whether or not a person will be able to make it, book a table including them anyways.

How to Book a Flight
|
1. Booking a Flight Online
1-1. Outline your tentative travel plans.
Think about where you plan or might like to travel, the dates you would like to go, if you just want to book flights or a package deal.
Make a list of your plans and have them handy and easily accessible while you book.
1-2. Consider being flexible in your plans.
The more flexible you are on everything from departure and arrival airlines and airports to travel dates and package deals, the more likely you are to get a great deal on your flight.
Wednesdays are the generally the cheapest day to travel. .
You can often find good deals on last minute flights, especially if you buy in conjunction with a hotel and/or rental car (known as a package deal).
Flying from alternative airports can often be cheaper and offer better connection times than large airport hubs. For example, if you want to go to Washington, DC, consider flying to Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) instead of National Airport (DCA) or Dulles International (IAD). BWI is just slightly outside of Washington and has excellent transportation into the city from the airport.
1-3. Compare flight prices.
How much a flight costs varies greatly depending on many variables including the day you book, how far in advance you book, and even the website on which you book. By comparing prices from different sites, you are likely to get the best flight deal.
Book approximately six weeks in advance if you can. This will generally give you the best flight options and prices.
Tuesdays around 3pm Eastern time are the cheapest time to book your flight.
Travel sites collate information on the best flight prices and available times. These include Kayak, Expedia, CheapTickets, and Priceline. Travel sites automatically allow you to compare prices and factor in travel variables.
It’s a good idea to compare travel site prices as well, as their respective offers can also vary greatly.
Airline websites are also an excellent place to book tickets. It’s not uncommon to find cheaper and better flights on airline sites.
For more options, consider one way travel on different airlines for each leg of your trip.
1-4. Keep a list of flight fares and offers.
As you compare flight offers, keep a list of all relevant details including departure and arrival airports and times, fees, and cancellation policies. This will help you more easily decide on the right flight to purchase.
Note if the price includes such items as taxes and baggage fees.
Read each flight’s cancellation policies and change fees. Not knowing these in advance can cost you a lot of money and time if you need to cancel or change your flight.
1-5. Purchase your ticket.
Once you decide on the right flight for your upcoming travel, it’s time to buy your ticket.
Follow websites prompts. Every site will ask you to fill in information on items such as your name, number of travels, frequent flyer number, seat and meal preferences, and credit card information in order to book.
You can usually pay baggage fees and select seats during your booking sessions. It’s a good idea to do this in advance to minimize your time checking in at the airport.
If you’re traveling internationally, you will need a passport to confirm the reservation.
Decide if you want to pay for extras such as upgrades in seat class or travel insurance.
Many travel and airline sites will offer further special deals for add-ons such as rental car or hotel room.
1-6. Print booking confirmation and other relevant documents.
Make sure to take these documents to the airport with you on the day of your flight to avoid any questions or problems with your booking.
Follow the “24-hour rule.” Within 24 hours of booking your flight, check the prices one last time. If the fare has decreased, call the airline and rebook the flight at the lower price with no penalty.
2. Booking with an Airline or Travel Agent
2-1. Outline your tentative travel plans.
Just as with online booking, think about where you plan or would like to travel, the dates you would like to go, if you just want to book flights or maybe a package deal.
Make a list of your plans and have them available while you talk to the travel or airline agent.
2-2. Contact a travel agent or an airline representative.
You can call either traditional travel agents or airline reps to help you find the best flight booking.
Give the agent the information on your tentative travel plans. Also let them know pertinent information including your seat preferences, and if you are flexible in your travel dates and airlines.
Like with online booking, consider being flexible in your plans for the best prices and times.
A good agent will alert you to all of the variables in booking your flight like alternative airports and smaller airlines. They’ll allow you to decide what offer is best for yourself.
2-3. Compare prices from different agents.
Call several travel agents and ask them for price quotes. By comparing what different agents offer, you will get the best flight deal.
If you find an agent you like but they don’t have the best offer, let them know about the lower price you found and see if they can match or better it.
2-4. Purchase your ticket.
Once you decide on the right flight offer for your upcoming travel, it’s time to buy your ticket.
Call the agent and let them know which flight you’d like to book. Answer any questions they may have about items such as available seats or your meal preferences.
Ask questions about the booking. Find out about extra fees including taxes, baggage fees, and upgrade costs. Ask about cancellation and refund policies.
2-5. Get a copy of your booking confirmation and other relevant documents.
Make sure to take these documents to the airport with you on the day of your flight to avoid any questions or problems with your booking.
Tips
Booking agents are there to help, so don't be afraid to ask questions.
Consider working with a travel agent to book your flight, as they might be able to get tickets at a negotiable rate or discount.

How to Book a Hotel Room
|
1. Finding a Good Hotel
1-1. Determine your budget.
Before you look for a hotel and make a reservation, you want to ensure the hotel will meet your budget and your needs. You should first determine your budget, or how much you can spend, when booking a hotel room. This will help you narrow down your search and be efficient with the time you spend looking for a hotel and booking a room.
Having a limited budget does not mean you will end up staying in a cheap, dirty hotel. In fact, there are many discount options available for visitors on a budget.
On the flip side, you may be travelling for work and have the ability to expense your accommodations to your company’s account. In this case, an affordable hotel rate may not be as much of a priority for you.
1-2. Think about your required accommodations during your stay.
Do you require enough room for a family of four, or do you just need enough room for yourself? Consider how big you would like the hotel room to be, including how many beds you require and how many bathrooms. If you are traveling with your family, you may need two queen beds and one large bathroom. If you are traveling solo, you may just need one queen bed and one decently sized bathroom.
If you require disability facilities, call the hotel to confirm if they are wheelchair accessible or offer disability amenities.
Consider whether or not you require extra amenities, such as a spa or a fitness center. If you need a solid internet connection, look at hotels that offer free Wi-Fi as part of the nightly rate.
If you are traveling as a family or in a big group, you might want to consider booking a suite with separate living area and bedroom so that the whole group can be accommodated without space and privacy constraints.
1-3. Identify your ideal location or area.
Sometimes, location can trump budget or required accommodations, especially if you are look for a location that is convenient. Are you looking for a hotel that is close to a work event or conference? Are you looking for a hotel that is close to a specific tourist attraction? You may decide to stay in a location that is central or downtown, which will allow you to access different parts of the city easily. Or, you may decide to choose a more secluded location so you have some privacy and can drive or walk to and from the main areas of town.
If you are traveling for business, you may decide to search for hotels that are close to a work conference or meeting.
If you are traveling for pleasure, look for hotels that are walking distance to a hot spot, or hotels that offer packages that include car rentals so that you can get around easily.
1-4. Search for hotels online.
The quickest way to look for hotels is online through a hotel search engine. These search engines will allow you to specify your planned days of travel, how many nights you require, your ideal location, and your required amenities, if any. You can also specify how much you are willing to spend on the hotel.
Once you enter this information into the search engine, you will be presented with several hotel options. You can order the options from lowest to highest in terms of price, or use the map option to look at hotels that are closer to a certain area or location.
Keep in mind that online search engines don't always show extra surcharges or fees for rooms. Note any small print next to the price for the room before you consider it.
Some credit cards and AAA providers offer hotel search services and discounts to their members. Contact your credit card company or AAA provider for more information.
1-5. Compare hotels using discounted search tools.
You can also use discounted search tools to compare several hotel options at once. All you need to do is specify your travel dates and your price points. These online sites will then search multiple databases for you and present several hotel options that best match your needs and that are discounted or offer cheaper rates.
Read the reviews for the hotels you are considering to get a sense of cleanliness, customer service, and amenities. Weigh the reviews against the price and location of the hotel to determine if it will meet your needs.
Some discounted search tools require you to book the hotel room before knowing exactly which hotel you were be staying in. Always read the fine print before you book a room to ensure you're not surprised by any restrictions or stipulations.
1-6. Call the hotel to get a better rate.
Calling the hotel directly can land you a last minute booking or a better rate. You may also be able to get a better sense of the customer service offered at the hotel, as you will be able to speak to the front desk and ask them specific questions about the hotel.

2. Booking the Hotel
2-1. Reserve the room online.
Once you have selected your hotel room, you can reserve it online through the hotel website. You will need to provide basic information about yourself for the booking, such as your full name and your travel dates.
You can also reserve the room by calling the hotel directly. Try to call late evening as mornings and mid afternoons can be busy for the front desk.
If you are looking for a group rate for a conference or a wedding, call the hotel directly and speak to the front desk. Many hotels do not advertise group rates online and can often offer you better rates over the phone.
2-2. Pay for the room with your credit card.
Many online bookings will require payment via a credit card. If you are traveling on a business trip, you may use the company credit card to pay for the hotel.
Always check if your credit card or AAA provider offers any discounts on hotels so that you can use them when you pay for the room.
If you are staying at the hotel for an extended period of time, you may be able to pay for the first 2 to 3 nights upfront and then cover the rest of your stay once you get to the hotel. You will then be required to leave your credit card number on file and settle your bill at the front desk on your check out day.
2-3. Confirm the room is booked.
You can confirm the hotel room is reserved by printing out a receipt at the end of your online booking session. You can also ask the hotel to send you a receipt as proof of payment if you book the hotel over the phone.
2-4. Read over your receipt to confirm that everything is correct.
This includes your travel dates and agreed-upon room rates. The hotel should specify all regulatory fees and charges before you pay for the room or reserve the room. Extra fees, such as a cleaning fee or a parking fee, should be explained to you by the hotel so you are not surprised by any hidden fees when you check out.

How to Book a Massage
|
1. Picking a Type of Massage
1-1. Select a Swedish massage to soothe sore or stiff muscles.
The Swedish massage uses long, stroking motions and kneading to loosen stiff muscles and stretch out any knots or strains. Choose this option for your first massage or if you frequently feel tense or sore.
Swedish massages can also be helpful for reducing anxiety and increasing circulation throughout the body.
1-2. Opt for a deep tissue massage if you have severe muscle pain.
This service focuses on the using focused pressure to relieve severe pain and tension throughout the body. If you’re experienced with massages and are dealing with severe pain, choose this massage.
This type of massage might be less pleasant for beginners and people with arthritis or other forms of chronic pain.
1-3. Get a sports massage to help prevent muscle and tissue injuries.
Sports massages use similar techniques as Swedish massages, but are meant to loosen and activate the muscles most used during sports. If you’re an athlete, runner, or you work out often, consider a sports massage to help stretch and engage your muscles.
If you’ve previously had a sports injury, be sure to inform the massage therapist before your service. They may have to adjust the service slightly to accommodate more sensitive areas on your body.
1-4. Decide on a trigger point massage if you have chronic, localized pain.
These are focused massages work on one area that is considered a “trigger” for pain. The service involves kneading and loosening tight muscle fibers in one area of the body. Select this type of massage if you’d recently experienced an injury or are having chronic, dull muscle pain.
Trigger point massages can involve more discomfort than you’re used to in a regular massage. Be sure to communicate with your therapist throughout the service, and let them know if you experience any pain.
1-5. Ask the spa associate for recommendations if you aren’t sure what you want.
If it’s your first massage, you might feel a bit overwhelmed by all of the options. When you contact the salon, let them know that you’re having trouble choosing, and tell them a little bit about your needs. Be sure to include your previous massage experiences, budget, time constraints, and what you’d like to get out of the massage.
The spa associate or therapist should be able to recommend an appropriate massage for your needs.
For example, if you’ve never had a massage and are looking for a relaxing experience, they might recommend a 60-minute Swedish massage.
If you’re a runner who’s looking to rehab your muscles after doing a marathon, but you don’t have a lot of time in your schedule, they might recommend a 30-minute sports massage.
2. Making an Appointment
2-1. Find a reputable spa or massage therapist in your area.
Search online for spas in your area, and read customer reviews and testimonials about the services. Check out the prices on the spa’s website or social media accounts, and find their phone number or online booking platform.
If the spa doesn’t have many reviews, has a lot of negative reviews, or their website looks unprofessional, pick a different spa for your services.
2-2. Locate a massage therapist that does house calls for a more private service.
If you want to skip the drive to the spa, search for “on demand” or “in home” massage therapists in your area. The process for booking an in-home therapist is the same as booking a spa service, but be sure to specify where you live.
This is an especially appealing option for people who aren’t able to leave their homes due to limited mobility or chronic pain.
2-3. Call the spa to speak to a spa associate about making an appointment.
Be sure to call during business hours to make your appointment, and be clear about what you want to book your appointment for. Remember to tell them the name of the service, what time and day you’re available, and the therapist’s name if you have a preference.
For example, you might say something like, “Hi, my name is Alex, and I want to book an appointment on Thursday for a Swedish massage. I’m available any time after noon.”
If you’re not sure what kind of service you want, you can say, “Hi, my name is John, and I want to book a massage, but I’ve never had one before. I’m available on Saturday or Sunday mornings before 11 a.m., and I’m a bodybuilder. Would you be able to recommend a massage for me?”
2-4. Confirm the details of the appointment before you hang up.
As you make the appointment, write down the details on a piece of paper. Repeat them back to the spa associate after the appointment is made to confirm that you have the right information. Remember to include the time, date, service name, and price.
For example, you can say, “I have an appointment on May 10th at 1 p.m. for a Swedish massage with Anna, and it costs $75. Do I have all of that information right?”
2-5. Specify if you would prefer a male or female massage therapist.
Don’t be afraid to let the spa associate know if you would prefer a specific therapist. It’s common for guests to requests therapists with good reviews or a therapist of the same sex so that they feel more comfortable. If you don’t have a preference, let them know.
In general, both male and female massage therapists will have the required strength and abilities to give you a good massage.
2-6. Provide the spa with your health history.
Most reputable spas and therapists will require you to give them information about your health history over the phone or by filling out paperwork that they will email to you. Include any previous injuries, surgeries, conditions, allergies, and other spa services that you’ve had, like chemical peels, other massages, medical spa services, and cosmetic procedures.
You may also be required to fill out and sign a release form that protects the spa and therapist in case you fail to tell them about a condition or problem and get injured.
3. Following Massage Etiquette
3-1. Arrive on time for your appointment.
The spa or therapist might be running on a tight schedule, and massages can take a significant amount of time. Be sure to leave your home early enough to get to your appointment at the right time, even if there’s traffic. If possible, try to come 5-10 minutes early in case you need to fill out any paperwork.
For your first appointment, aim to arrive 15-20 minutes early so the spa associate or massage therapist can explain the process for the massage and get you situated in the massage room.
3-2. Undress to the point you feel most comfortable.
In the massage room, take off your clothes to whatever point you feel comfortable, and then lay under the sheet on the bed. If you plan on leaving most of your clothing on for the appointment, try to wear loose-fitting clothing in lighter fabrics, like cotton or linen.
During the massage, the therapist will only expose the part of your body that they’re working on at that time. The therapist will never expose your genitals during the service.
You can let the massage therapist know if there are any other parts of your body that you don’t feel comfortable with them uncovering.
3-3. Talk to your therapist about your wants and needs for the massage.
Let your therapist know if any parts of your body are sensitive or sore. If you’ve had a massage before, briefly tell them about your previous experiences. Be sure to specify if you have any allergies, and let them know if you’re okay with them playing music and using lotions or oils during the appointment.
Your therapist should have access to your medical history if you filled out the health history paperwork. However, if you have a condition like arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, a bleeding disorder, or deep vein thrombosis, remind them before the appointment.
Let them know if you’ve previously broken any bones or have any cuts, scrapes, bruises, or burns on your skin.
Your therapist might ask you about the last time you got a massage and how that treatment felt.
3-4. Speak up during the massage if you experience any pain.
It’s normal to feel some mild discomfort when the therapist is working on a knot or sore muscles. However, if you feel sharp pain or extreme discomfort, tell your therapist. They’ll move onto another area of your body.
Your body will probably feel sore for the next 2-3 days after the appointment, which is normal. If you have persistent pain after the massage, call the spa and let them know, and then visit your doctor to create a pain management plan.
3-5. Close your eyes and relax as the massage therapist works.
During your massage, don’t be afraid to tune out and let your mind wander. Listen to the music if it’s playing and focus on the feeling of the therapist massaging your muscles.
If you fall asleep, the therapist will wake you at the end of your appointment.
Tips
If you enjoyed your massage and would like another one, talk to the massage therapist about booking your next appointment. Some therapists recommend waiting at least 2-3 weeks in between massages to ensure that your muscles have time to rest in between appointments.
Warnings
Remember to let your massage therapist know about your health history, including any chronic conditions and previous injuries or surgeries, before beginning the service.

How to Book an Airline Ticket
|
1. Booking an Airline Ticket Online
1-1. Look for flights in advance.
Booking your tickets in advance can help you to get tickets at a lower rate. The best time to book a domestic flight is between 112 and 21 days before you depart to secure the lowest fare. 54 days before is considered the perfect time. However, even booking 54 days before your trip is not guaranteed to get you the lowest fare.
If you are booking an international plane ticket, you should book as far in advance as possible, especially if your destination is smaller or only has one nearby airport.
If you are flying to a popular destination during a popular time, such as Florida during Spring Break, you should book as far in advance as possible. Because this flight is popular, it is unlikely that the fare will be lowered.
1-2. Check airfare deal websites.
Before booking, scan an airfare deal website, like Airfare Watch Dog, for sales. This is especially helpful if your destination or trip dates are flexible so you can take advantage of any deals.
Airlines sometimes share sales with their customers through their websites or newsletters. You can subscribe to the newsletters of your top airlines or visit their sites to search for deals.
Did you know wikiHow offers coupons and discounts for a variety of travel websites? Save time and money by checking out our coupon site for:
Travelocity
Expedia Travel
Tripadvisor
Hotels.com
Hotwire
Booking.com
1-3. Enter your trip details on an aggregator site.
Visit an aggregator website that searches multiple airlines, like SkyScanner, Momondo or GoogleFlights, and enter your trip information. The website will be able to show you lots of flight options for your requested destination and dates that you can sort by price, airline or length of trip.
Many aggregator sites will allow you to enter multiple destinations and search flights on multiple dates. This will help you find the best deal if your trip is flexible.
If you have time, check a few aggregator websites. Some sites may advertise different prices so it’s good to check around and ensure you’re getting the best deal.
1-4. Choose how many stops you want to make.
Many flights, especially to far away locations, will require you to make stopovers at airports along the way. Sometimes these will involve changing planes and going through security again. As you look at flights, remember to keep in mind how many stops you are comfortable making. Also check how long and what time of day the stops are.
You may be able to find a cheaper flight if you're comfortable adding an extra stopover. However, it's important to take into account if the length and time of the stopover is worth the money you will save.
1-5. Click through to the airline’s website.
Once you have found the best trip, select it on the aggregator site and move to the airline’s direct website to book your tickets. Some aggregators allow you to book the ticket through their website, but there may be an additional service fee.
1-6. Choose your seat.
Many airlines will allow you to choose your seat at your time of booking. Ensure you choose seats for all of the passengers that you're booking airline tickets for. You can select to sit together, if there is space for your party, and whether you want an aisle, window or middle seat. You may also be able to select seat upgrades, like extra legroom, for an additional cost.
If your airline does not allow you to select your seat at the time of booking, you may be able to do it when you check in. If you have a specific seat preference or need to sit with your travel companions, for example if you're traveling with a child, call your airline to see how you can make arrangements ahead of time.
1-7. Choose to make it a package deal or not.
Towards the end of the booking process, your airline may suggest add-ons that you can book, such as hotels or car rentals. You can add these at the time of booking or book them separately from your airline ticket.
Before choosing an add-on like a hotel stay or car rental, you should do some research online and ensure your airline is offering you a good deal.
Usually, you can get airline tickets for a lower rate if you stay at the destination on a Saturday night.
Business travelers are charged the most because they cannot stay a Saturday night.
1-8. Request special accommodations.
If you require any special accommodations for your flight, such as a wheelchair, request these at the time of booking. If you are not prompted to enter this information during your online booking, call your airline directly.
Other special accommodations may include traveling with service animals, medical concerns and dietary restrictions.
1-9. Choose to add insurance or not.
During the booking process, you may also be prompted to add insurance. Read the fine print and decide whether or not your flight and trip require insurance.
You might be covered by insurance through your work, healthcare or credit card. It's a good idea to look into these options and compare costs if you want to add insurance coverage for your trip.
1-10. Book your ticket!
On the airline’s website, confirm that all of your trip information is correct. Then follow the prompts to enter your personal and payment information to finish booking your tickets. You may also need the personal information of anyone else flying with you.
1-11. Receive your confirmation and receipt.
After booking, your receipt and ticket confirmation should be emailed to you. If you don’t receive this within a few hours of booking, contact your airline.
Save the email copy of the receipt in a safe folder. It would be a good idea to print out a hard copy as well.
2. Researching Your Trip
2-1. Decide where you are going.
Depending on your trip, you may have some flexibility in terms of your exact location. Do some research to find the perfect destination for you.
For example, if you want to visit the Caribbean, there are over 28 island nations and 7000 individual islands to choose from.
If your destination is fixed, you may still be able to research secondary airports. For example, if you are visiting your relatives in San Francisco, you could also look at flying into the nearby Oakland Airport.
2-2. Decide when you are going.
With your fellow travellers, decide when you are going on your trip and for how long. The more flexible you are with your dates, the easier it will be to find a deal.
If your dates are not flexible or if your trip is coming up very soon, it’s best to book as soon as possible. This is especially important if you are flying during a popular period, like Thanksgiving.
2-3. Check if you need visas or vaccinations.
Some international destinations will require visitors to have special visas to come to their country or get vaccinations ahead of time. Include this in your research so you have time to make arrangements, apply for any visas and schedule travel vaccination appointments.
For the most up to date information, visit your country's travel advisory such as www.travel.gc.ca for Canadians or www.travel.state.gov for Americans.
2-4. Consider who and what you’re traveling with.
For example, if you’re traveling with an infant, depending on the flight carrier, you may not need to buy a separate seat for the child. However, traveling with a baby may also mean that you will need to pack extra things like a diaper bag, playpen or stroller.
3. Booking an Airline Ticket with a Travel Agent
3-1. Collect all of your trip information.
From your research, establish your trip destination and dates, even if these are flexible. Also make sure you have your payment information and the personal information for yourself and your fellow travellers on hand.
For example, you may need to know all of the travelers’ birthdates and passport numbers.
3-2. Find a reputable travel agent.
Ask your friends and family for recommendations if you haven’t worked with a travel agent before. If you can’t get a personal recommendation, search online for a travel agency with good reviews.
Take bad reviews with a grain of salt. Some people will post bad reviews simply because they did not get their way with something going against company policy.
Pay attention to how many good and bad reviews an agent got. If they had a lot of bad reviews recently, it would be best to avoid them.
3-3. Meet with your travel agent in person or over the phone.
Depending on the travel agency, you may be able to go in-person or you may work with someone over the phone. Ensure your travel agent is knowledgeable, friendly and service-oriented. They should be able to answer all of your questions and have experience booking similar trips to the one you want to go on.
Have all of your questions ready ahead of time, preferably on a printed sheet of paper. This will ensure that you don't forget to ask any.
3-4. Give your travel agent your trip information.
Provide your travel agent with the destination and dates of your trip. If you are flexible with nearby destinations, multiple stopovers or similar dates, ensure you tell your travel agent that information. Also, let your travel agent know about your preferences and any required accommodations. For example:
Tell them your seating preference, such as aisle or window.
Let them know if you need special accommodations, like a wheelchair.
Mention if you're interested in purchasing add-ons, like hotel stays and car rentals.
If you need to purchase insurance, be sure to tell them this as well.
3-5. Book your ticket!
After receiving your information, your travel agent will present you with some flight options for your trip. Select the best option for you and continue speaking with your travel agent to finish booking your airline tickets. The agent will need your personal and payment information.
Have all of your information on hand and ready before you book your ticket. This will make the booking process more efficient.
3-6. Receive your receipt and confirmation.
Your travel agent will likely choose to email you your receipt and confirmation of your airline ticket purchase. If you don’t receive an email shortly after booking, call your travel agent. You may also be able to request your receipt and confirmation in hard copy if you don’t have access to email.
Tips
You may also be able to note meal preferences at the time of booking if your airline provides meals on your flight. If you have dietary restrictions, such as allergies, ensure you include that in your meal request.
If you need assistance when flying, such as a wheelchair, make sure to request this at the time of booking. If you forget to request it while booking your ticket, call your travel agent or airline as soon as possible.
If you are part of a frequent flyer program, check your program for flight deals or other ways to book cheaper airline tickets.
Warnings
Read over your airline’s policy for canceling, transferring or changing an airline ticket before booking. If you need to postpone or cancel your trip for any reason, you should know how that will affect your plane ticket. You may also want to look into getting travel insurance.
Make sure to consider layover times when choosing your flight. Sometimes, cheaper flights involve long layovers at airports that may be difficult if you’re travelling with a child or elderly person.

How to Bookkeep
|
1. Establishing a System
1-1. Decide what type of system to use.
The most important part of bookkeeping is being consistent. You don't want to lose receipts, forget to record transactions, or record the same transaction twice, as this could cause a misrepresentation of your business's financial health. The simplest way to avoid these errors in by establishing a consistent system for both recording transactions in journals and entering them into the ledger.
This system can be as complicated as a wired-in cash register that feeds into accounting software or as simple as a box full of receipts and notes. This will depend on the amount of transactions your company does on a daily or weekly basis.
1-2. Use accounting software.
The simplest way to ensure that your transactions are recorded reliably is to invest in an accounting program like QuickBooks, FreshBooks, or Expensify. These will take a lot of the guesswork out of recording different types of transactions and present your information clearly. Many of these programs are available for free or on as a free trial for a limited time.
1-3. Use a spreadsheet.
For a more manual system, try setting up a spreadsheet to record transactions. This can be done either manually, with physical transaction journals, or on the computer with a spreadsheet program. The formatting of these journals is up to you, but it should include the following, at minimum:
Supplier’s/buyer’s name
Account number
Expense/revenue type (e.g. office supplies, raw materials)
Date the invoice was received/created
Amount owed/paid
1-4. Be consistent.
For any system you use, be sure to enter your transaction data on a regular basis and in the same way each time. This is to be sure that transactions are not overlooked and that you have the most up to date picture of your business's financial health. In addition, it is a good idea to establish a regular schedule for transferring information from the journals to the ledger, perhaps on a weekly or monthly basis.
2. Recording Transactions Properly
2-1. Use the same accounting method for all entries.
The two types of accounting are the cash and accrual accounting methods. In essence, the cash method records transactions when actual cash changes hands, like when a customer pays for an item or when you pay for an expense. The accrual method, however, accounts for transactions when that transaction occurs, for example when expenses are incurred or when a customers buys an item (but not necessarily when money changes hands for the transaction). Which method you choose will depend on your own goals and business strategies.
2-2. Compare the two accounting methods.
The cash method of accounting is more commonly used in small businesses because it gives an accurate representation of the cash balance of the company. As the business grows, however, it may become less important to know the exact cash balance of the company and focus instead on its current health. This is where the accrual method comes in. By tracking expenses when they occur and revenues when they are earned, rather than paid for, the accrual method negates the effects of payment delays in determining the financial health of the company.
2-3. Decide on which method to use.
Legally, a company may choose either accounting method as long that company has less than $5 million in revenue each year or, if it sells products to the public, has less than $1 million in gross receipts (all revenues). Any company with revenues over those levels is required, by law, to use the accrual method.
2-4. Use double-entry bookkeeping.
Many small businesses make the mistake of using single-entry bookkeeping. That is, they only record transactions as movements of money to or from a single account. However, every business transaction takes place in at least two accounts, and must be recorded as such for accuracy. This is called double-entry bookkeeping. This allows you to see exactly where your money is coming from and where it's going.
For example, a purchase of inventory using cash would be recorded as an increase in inventory and a decrease in the cash account. Alternately, a sale of that inventory to a customer paying in credit would be recorded as a decrease in inventory and an increase in accounts receivable.
In the world of accounting, these would be recorded using the official terms, as debits and credits to various accounts. As a bookkeeper, though, it is most important that you use a consistent system that makes sense to you.
2-5. Record transactions in journals.
At first, transactions need only be entered into daily or weekly journals, depending on your transaction volume. These entries will include information on the transaction, including the buyer/seller, amount, date, and type of transaction. Later, this information will be categorized and added to the ledger. However, for now it is only important to record the information for later use. Entries should be made according the company's chosen accounting method (cash or accrual).
The introduction of accounting software has made the two-step process of journals and ledgers almost obsolete. The software will automatically update the ledger, making the process one of simply inputting transactions as they occur. However, some businesses still choose to use the journal-ledger method.
3. Posting Transactions to a Ledger
3-1. Separate transactions into accounts.
The best way to track your transactions is to separate them into different accounts within the ledger. By starting out with set accounts and adding or subtracting from them with each transaction, you gain a clearer picture of where money is coming in and going. These accounts can be as generic as sales or as specific certain types of inventory. For example, it may be reasonable for an auto garage to reserve an entire account for oil inventory. Accounts will vary between businesses, but at minimum should cover the following:
Cash
Accounts Receivable (money due from customers paying on credit).
Accounts Payable (money you owe to suppliers).
Sales (the revenue you make from primary operations).
Inventory
Cost of sales (supplies you buy for production or your business).
Payroll Expenses (wages).
Owners’ Equity (the amount that owners have put into the business).
Retained Earnings (profits reinvested in the company).
3-2. Post transactions regularly.
How often you post transaction to the ledger from the journals will depend on your transaction volume. It can be daily, weekly, or even monthly. However, this should be done consistently to ensure that you are not suddenly overwhelmed with work at the end of an accounting period. Again, accounting software will help you stay up-to-date on these processes.
3-3. Analyze your ledger accounts.
Ledger accounts are mainly useful for quantifying the financial health of the company. While true financial reports are best left to professional accountants, anyone can compare ledger accounts to create simple comparisons or reports. For example, compare sales to expenses to get a general idea of how your company has fared recently. Obviously, if sales are higher than expenses, you are making a profit. For more complex reports, turn to an accountant or accounting program.

Tips
Be sure to pay your suppliers a few days in advance of the payment deadline, whether it is 30 days or a longer time period. This will give you some leeway if you forget to pay on that day and put you on good terms with suppliers.[16]

Accounts will vary between businesses, but at minimum should cover the following:\\nCash\\nAccounts Receivable (money due from customers paying on credit).\\nAccounts Payable (money you owe to suppliers).\\nSales (the revenue you make from primary operations).\\nInventory\\nCost of sales (supplies you buy for production or your business).\\nPayroll Expenses (wages).\\nOwners’ Equity (the amount that owners have put into the business).\\nRetained Earnings (profits reinvested in the company).\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Post transactions regularly.\", \"描述\": \"How often you post transaction to the ledger from the journals will depend on your transaction volume.

Bookmarking All Tabs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari
|
1. Chrome
1-1. Click ⋮.
This vertical three-dot menu icon is in the top right corner of your browser window and will prompt a menu to drop down.
1-2. Hover your mouse over Bookmarks.
A menu will appear to the left.
This menu isn't the same on Android, iPhone, or iPad, so you'll need to use the desktop browser to do this.
1-3. Click Bookmark all tabs.
It's usually the second item in the menu.
You can also press on your keyboard.
1-4. Create a folder name for your bookmarks, then click Save.
You can also choose where to save the bookmark folder if you don't like the default. When you're done, click and your open tabs will be saved as bookmarks in that folder.
2. Safari
2-1. Click Bookmark.
It's in the menu at the top of your screen next to the Apple icon and clicking it will prompt a menu to drop down.
2-2. Click Add Bookmarks for These Tabs.
You'll see a number that displays how many tabs you have open.
2-3. Create a folder name for your bookmarks, then click Add.
You can also choose where to save the bookmark folder if you don't like the default. When you're done, click and your open tabs will be saved as bookmarks in that folder.
3. Edge
3-1. Right-click a tab.
Since Edge is the default and comes pre-installed on many new Windows computers and laptops, this might be what you're looking for.
3-2. Click Add all tabs to favorites.
"Bookmarks" are called "Favorites" in Edge, so this will add all the tabs that you have open to your bookmarks.
You can also press on your keyboard.
3-3. Create a folder name for your bookmarks, then click Save.
You can also choose where to save the bookmark folder if you don't like the default. When you're done, click and your open tabs will be saved as bookmarks in that folder.

You can either right-click a different tab or the same one.

A new window will open in the middle of your screen.
You can also press on your keyboard to bookmark all the open tabs.
4-5. Create a folder name for your bookmarks, then click Save.
You can also choose where to save the bookmark folder if you don't like the default. When you're done, click and your open tabs will be saved as bookmarks in that folder.
Tips
If you want to bookmark pages separately instead of in a group, the steps are a little different and will require a little more time.
Once you have items bookmarked in another web browser, you can import them to your computer without a hassle. All you need to do is open Chrome and go to Bookmarks > Import.

How to Bookmark on an iPad
|
1. Adding a Site to Your Bookmarks List
1-1. Open the website that you want to bookmark in Safari.
You can bookmark virtually any website, though sites with secure logins such as banks will still require you to log back in when you open the site again.
1-2. Tap the "Share" button.
This looks like a box with an arrow coming out of the top, and can be found to the right of the address bar.
1-3. Tap "Add Bookmark".
This will add the current site to your bookmark list.
1-4. Give the bookmark a name (optional).
Before the bookmark is added, you'll have a chance to edit it. By default, the bookmark will have the same name as the title of the webpage.
1-5. Adjust the address (optional).
If you need to make an adjustment to the address, you can do so before saving the bookmark. This can be useful if you actually wanted to bookmark the main page but are currently on a subpage.
1-6. Tap "Location" to change the location the bookmark will be saved.
You can choose to add it to your Favorites, add it to your regular bookmark list, or stick it in particular folder.
1-7. Tap "Save" to save the bookmark.
It will be added to the location that you specified.
2. Managing Your Safari Bookmarks
2-1. Tap the Bookmarks button in Safari.
This looks like an open book and can be found to the left of the address bar. Tapping the Bookmarks button will open the Safari sidebar.
2-2. Tap the Bookmarks tab.
There's a chance that the sidebar will not currently be displaying your bookmarks (it could be showing your Reading List or Shared Links). Tap the smaller Bookmarks button at the top of the sidebar to open your bookmarks list.
2-3. Browse through your bookmarks.
All of your bookmarks will be listed. Tapping one will open the bookmarked site.
2-4. Tap "Edit" to adjust your bookmark organization.
This will allow you to create new folders, move bookmarks around, change bookmarks names and addresses, and delete bookmarks that you don't need anymore. Tap "Done" when you're finished making changes.
3. Adding a Quick Link to a Site on Your Home Screen
3-1. Open the website that you want to add to your Home screen.
If you visit a particular site a lot, you may want to cut down on the number of taps you need to open it by placing a shortcut directly on your Home screen. This will let you open the site without having to open Safari and then having to select the bookmark.
3-2. Tap the "Share" button.
This looks like a box with an arrow coming out of the top, and can be found to the right of the address bar.
3-3. Tap "Add to Home Screen".
This will add the current site to your Home screen.
3-4. Give the shortcut a name (optional).
Before the shortcut is added, you'll have a chance to edit it. By default, the shortcut will have the same name as the title of the webpage.
3-5. Adjust the address (optional).
If you need to make an adjustment to the address, you can do so before saving the shortcut. This can be useful if you actually wanted to shortcut the main page but are currently on a subpage.
3-6. Tap "Add" when you are satisfied with the shortcut.
It will be immediately added to your Home screen. If you have multiple Home screens, you will need to scroll to find it.
4. Adding Bookmarks in Chrome for iPad
4-1. Open the website you want to bookmark in Chrome.
Chrome is one of the most popular alternative browsers available for the iPad, and you may want to add bookmarks to it as well.
If you are logged into Chrome with your Google account, your bookmarks will be synced across all of your devices.
4-2. Tap the Star icon on the right side of the address bar.
This will open a small pop-up allowing you to set your bookmark options.
4-3. Give the bookmark a name (optional).
Before the bookmark is added, you'll have a chance to edit it. By default, the bookmark will have the same name as the title of the webpage.
4-4. Adjust the address (optional).
If you need to make an adjustment to the address, you can do so before saving the bookmark. This can be useful if you actually wanted to bookmark the main page but are currently on a subpage.
4-5. Tap "Folder" to change the location the bookmark will be saved.
You can choose to add it to any of your existing folder, or you can create a new folder from within the pop-up.
4-6. Tap "Save" to save the bookmark.
If you are logged into Chrome with your Google account, the bookmark will become available immediately on all of your connected devices.
4-7. Manage your Chrome bookmarks.

How to Boost Cell Phone Signal in Your Home
|
1. Checking Your Phone’s Settings
1-1. Determine your phone’s signal strength to see how weak it is.
Dial a special number or check your settings to see the strength of your phone’s signal. If you have an iPhone, call international number #3001#12345# to activate your field testing services. If you have an Android, open your settings and scroll to signal strength section. Ideally, you’ll want your signal strength to be around -60dBm.
If you have a measurement lower than -112dBM, then your phone has a very weak signal strength.
1-2. Put your phone in airplane mode for 3 seconds to reset the signal.
Turn your phone’s cellular services off by activating airplane mode. This can be found in your phone’s settings, or in a quick access menu. Airplane mode helps to completely disconnect your phone from your carrier, which will reset your signal.
1-3. Enable WiFi calling on your phone to connect to a stronger signal.
Go to your phone settings and activate WiFi calling, which allows you to make phone calls with your WiFi signal. If you have an iPhone, go to the “phone” portion of your settings to activate WiFi calling.If you have an Android phone, go to the “Advanced Calling” or “Networks” section of the settings to activate calling via WiFi.
Make sure that your iPhone is completely up-to-date before toggling the WiFi calling option.
Try searching through your settings on Android if you’re having difficulty finding the right section.
Consider getting a portable WiFi hotspot if you don’t have WiFi at your house.
2. Using a Signal Booster
2-1. Choose a booster that works with your specific carrier.
Make sure you get a product that works with all carriers, or works with the exact carrier of your phone. Some brands work with all cell phone carriers, but they can be on the pricier end, so it may be more cost-efficient to choose a signal booster that is specific to your carrier, depending on your budget and cell phone plan.
Regardless of the carrier, most signal booster products include a booster and an antenna.
2-2. Plug in the booster within the room that gets the most signal.
Go to the room in your house that you use the most—in other words, the room that receives the most consistent coverage. The goal of a signal booster is to make your life more convenient, and it does this by being in an accessible location.
Keep an eye on your signal bar as you walk through each room in your house. If you have an especially strong signal in one room, you might want to put the booster there.
Check your device’s instructions to see how and where to plug in the booster.
2-3. Plug in the antenna near a window.
Put the antenna portion close to a window so that it’s in a good position to receive a signal. While the booster works to increase your cell phone signal, it’s unable to do this until it has something to boost in the first place.
2-4. Make sure that both devices are turned on and operating.
Check for a power button or switch to turn on the antenna and the booster. Although this goes without saying, double check to make sure that the power is turned on, and that electricity is reaching both devices.
Once the signal booster is turned on, consider checking your phone’s signal strength. You can do this by downloading an app that lets you monitor your phone’s speed. Some good options are Speedtest by Ookla or Fast Speed Test by Netflix.
3. Switching Phone Carriers
3-1. Research the coverage area of different networks and compare it to your current carrier.
Go online and look up different coverage maps for various networks. Your current location might have weaker coverage than other places.
Talk to your friends and family and see which cell phone carrier they have. This might help give you an idea of which networks are fastest in your area.
3-2. Compare the monthly rate of each network to your current plan.
Check the websites of different cellular services and see what the monthly cost is for a plan. Before you make any commitments, confirm whether or not you want a contract or a prepaid plan.
Make sure you have your phone’s IMEI number on hand if you do end up switching carriers. This number serves as your phone’s identity, and informs a new carrier of your phone’s hardware, along with other technical information.
If you have an iPhone, you can find your IMEI by checking in the “General” and “About” sections of your settings.
If you have an Android, you can get the number by from the “About Phone” and “Status” portions of your settings. You can find it on either type of phone by calling international number *#06#.
3-3. Opt for a plan with 4G LTE cellular service to improve your signal.
Look into cell phone plans with fast connection speeds, like 4G LTE. This stands for Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution, and it works through progressive radio technology systems. If you don’t currently have 4G LTE, making the switch might boost your signal and increase your connection speed by a good margin.
Several companies are working on 5G, or Fifth Generation technology. Ask a cell phone carrier representative when they think 5G services will be available in your area.
3-4. Talk to a sales representative before switching.
Go to the store of a specific cell phone carrier or call ahead before switching your phone services completely. An in-person representative can answer any questions that you may have, and can explain all of your options to you.
Go to ContactHelp.com or GetHuman.com if you’re having difficulties reaching an actual person.
Warnings
Be wary of phone cases that claim to enhance your signal. Check the reviews before making any purchases.[19]

How to Boost Fertility in Your 30s
|
1. Following a Healthy Diet and Lifestyle
1-1. Eat a balanced diet so you can maintain a healthy weight.
Being overweight or underweight can negatively impact your fertility. Weight fluctuations can cause your periods to be irregular and reduce your chances of getting pregnant. Maintain a diet high in healthy protein like chicken, fish, tofu, and beans, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables and whole wheat grains.
Avoid eating foods high in trans fats and refined sugar.
1-2. Have salmon and eggs regularly to increase your omega-3 fatty acids.
Try eating salmon 1-2 times a week and eggs that are fortified with DHA, a fatty acid. Increasing your omega-3 fatty acids can help to improve your fertility and your overall health.
1-3. Avoid consuming high amounts of alcohol.
Cut down on your alcohol consumption to 1-2 drinks a week. This can ensure your fertility levels stay high.
If you have a male partner, he should also maintain low alcohol consumption, no more than 14 units a week spread out over 3 days or more. Drinking too much alcohol can negatively affect the quality of his sperm.
1-4. Limit your caffeine to 200 mg a day.
You don't have to give up your morning coffee altogether, but if you're hoping to conceive, you shouldn't have more than 1-2 cups. Consuming more caffeine than that can have a negative impact on your fertility.
An 8 fl oz (240 ml) cup of coffee contains 96 mg of caffeine.
An 8 fl oz (240 ml) cup of black tea contains 47 mg of caffeine, while green tea contains 28 mg.
While it varies according to the brand, cola averages around 22 mg of caffeine for an 8 fl oz (240 ml) soda. However, keep in mind that sodas are typically sold in containers that are 12 fl oz (350 ml) or larger.
1-5. Try not to smoke or be around smokers.
Smoking can negatively affect your health and your fertility. If you smoke, try to quit or reduce your smoking habit. Stay away from areas where there is cigarette smoke, such as in the homes or cars of people who smoke.
A man’s sperm can also become less potent if he smokes a lot or inhales second-hand smoke.
1-6. Exercise
Staying fit and healthy with regular exercise will help to boost your fertility. Try to do cardio exercises several times a week, such as running, swimming, or biking. Take a fitness class at your local gym several times a week or do workouts at home.
1-7. Do yoga or breathing exercises to reduce stress.
High stress levels have been shown to negatively affect fertility in individuals over 30 years old. Try to stay relaxed and calm by doing yoga regularly at home or at a local yoga studio. Do breathing exercises at home in the morning before you start your day or at night before bed so you can feel centered and calm.
2. Taking Supplements
2-1. Have folic acid supplements to improve ovulation.
Look for folic acid supplements at your local health food store or online. Make sure the supplement contains mostly folic acid and no additives or preservatives. Follow the dosage instructions on the label and never take more than the recommended amount.
2-2. Take fish oil and magnesium supplements to boost your fertility.
Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for fertility health. Magnesium can also help to keep your fallopian tubes healthy and improve your chances of getting pregnant. Look for these supplements at your local health food store or online.
Check the label to make sure the supplements contain mostly minerals and no preservatives or additives.
2-3. Ask your doctor about taking prenatal vitamins to get pregnant.
Taking prenatal vitamins in low doses can help to prepare your body for pregnancy and boost your fertility. Prenatal vitamins can be purchased at your local health food store or online.
3. Maintaining Your Menstrual and Sexual Health
3-1. Keep track of your menstrual cycle to confirm it is regular.
A regular menstrual cycle is a good sign your fertility levels are high. Most menstrual cycles are considered normal if they last 21-35 days, with ovulation occurring between day 6 and day 14. Write down your ovulation days on a calendar or use a tracker on your smartphone so you can confirm your periods are regular month to month.
If your periods are not regular, or they tend to last longer than 35 days, speak to your doctor. This may mean you are ovulating less and need to check on your fertility levels.
3-2. Stop taking birth control once you decide to get pregnant.
Continue taking birth control until you decide you want to become pregnant. You can then go off of birth control, under the supervision of your doctor. You will need to wait several months for the birth control to leave your system before you can try to conceive.
If you do not want to get pregnant right away but want to boost your fertility so you can conceive in the future, take your birth control regularly. Birth control can help your menstrual cycle to stay regular and consistent. Have oral birth control at the same time every day and try not to skip any days to avoid messing up your cycle.
3-3. Have sex weekly to keep your cycle regular.
Engaging in regular sexual intercourse, at least once a week, can help to keep your menstrual cycle regular and ensure you are ovulating. A healthy sex life can help you produce more estrogen, which can then help to boost your fertility levels.
Try to have sex weekly or several times a month to keep your fertility levels up. You may then have an easier time getting pregnant once you decide you are ready.
3-4. Use sexual lubricants that are sperm-friendly.
When you do engage in sexual intercourse, make sure you use natural lubes like canola, peanut, vegetable, mineral, or baby oils. These natural oils will make it easier for sperm to fertilize an egg during intercourse. You can also buy over-the-counter lubricants that are sperm-friendly at your local drug store or online.
Avoid lubricants like saliva and olive oil, as well as commercial lubricants that are not marked “sperm-friendly,” as they can inhibit the potency of sperm.
3-5. Avoid douching.
Douching is when you use scented wipes or cleansers on your vagina to “clean” it. This practice can actually remove the normal, protective bacteria in your vagina and put you at risk of bacterial infections. Certain bacterial infections in your vagina can cause fertility issues.
4. Speaking to Your Doctor
4-1. Talk to your doctor if infertility runs in your family.
Infertility can be caused by a number of factors, including genetics. Discuss this possibility with your doctor and get fertility tests done to determine if you have fertility issues. Addressing fertility issues early can increase your chances of conceiving.
4-2. Speak to your doctor if you have unprotected sex regularly but cannot get pregnant.
If you are off birth control and do not use contraception of any kind when you have sex, your chances of getting pregnant increase significantly. You may want to check on your fertility levels if you do this regularly and do not get pregnant, as this could indicate you may have fertility issues.
4-3. Ask your doctor about freezing your eggs.
Freezing your eggs when you are in your 30s can then allow you to get pregnant in the future through assisted reproductive technology. Your frozen eggs will be kept in a bank so you can access them when or if you decide you’d like to become pregnant at an older age. Your doctor can refer you to an egg bank where you can get this done safely.
Keep in mind freezing your eggs does not guarantee you will be able to conceive at an older age but it can increase your chances.
Your doctor may recommend freezing your eggs if you have a family history of infertility or early menopause.
Tips
In your 30s you may want to take greater care to protect your ovarian reserve. Your ovarian reserve is the number of remaining eggs you have which could produce children.

The first time you open the app, you will be asked if you want to allow the app to access your microphone and audio system. Tap to acknowledge. Then tap on all the pop-ups to allow it to access your microphone.
2-3. Tap the Enter Amplifier button.
It's the large button at the bottom of the screen. This will open the amplifier settings for your microphone.
2-4. Select a microphone to use.
If your Android device has more than one microphone, you can switch mics by tapping the icon that resembles a larger mic next to a small mic at the bottom of the screen.
2-5. Slide the Audio Gain slider to the right just slightly.
This will boost your microphone's audio level by adding extra audio gain.
Increasing audio gain too much will distort the sound and deteriorate your sound quality. Start by increasing it to 2 or 3. If that's not enough, then you can increase it further.
2-6. Tap the power icon at the bottom of the screen.
It has an icon that resembles a circle with a line through the top. This will enable and apply the audio gain boost to your Android's microphone. You can now make a call or record voice clips with your boosted microphone.
Speak into your phone and watch the way the wave behaves in the black box at the top. If the wave peaks reach the top and bottom of the box when you speak, you probably have too much gain. Turn it down a little. You should see small peaks in the center during silence (or ambient noise) and large peaks that reach near the top when speaking.
To do a test recording, tap in the lower-right corner and speak into your phone. Tap the button again to stop recording. Use the Files app for your Android device to navigate to the "Microphone Amplifier" folder. You can find your audio recordings in this folder.
2-7. Tap the power icon again to turn the boost off.
You can open the Microphone Amplifier app and turn it off anytime you want.

How to Boost Nitric Oxide Levels
|
1. Getting Active
1-1. Do at least 30 minutes of cardio every day.
Cardiovascular exercise makes your heart pump faster, which triggers the production of nitric oxide in your body. Try to do sessions of moderate to intense cardio that last at least 30 minutes, or break up the 30 minutes into activities that are at least 10 minutes long. Plan activities such as running, biking, swimming, dancing, rollerblading, or aerobics.
Brisk walks are also a good form of exercise, and can easily be combined with daily activities like walking your dog or running errands.
Fit workouts into your busy schedule by waking up early to exercise or exercising during your lunch break.
1-2. Spend at least 20 minutes outdoors each day.
Getting UV exposure allows your body to unlock its own stores of nitric oxide, raising your overall levels. Take the time to sit or walk around outdoors at least 20 minutes a day. This will also help reduce your blood pressure and improve your mood.
Apply SPF to protect your skin from UVA damage.
1-3. Meditate to help open up your blood vessels.
Meditation aims to relax the body, which can lower your blood pressure. This relaxed state can improve your body's production of nitric oxide. Aim to practice meditation at least once or twice a week to promote a healthier body and mind.
2. Consuming the Right Nutrients
2-1. Eat leafy greens and other vegetables that contain nitrogen.
As a general rule, dark green vegetables are rich in nitrogen, an element that which produces nitric oxide when metabolized in the body. Aim to eat at least 1-2 servings of these foods a day to keep up your nitric oxide levels. These vegetables include:
Kale
Spinach
Lettuce
Brussel sprouts
Broccoli
2-2. Eat protein-rich foods high in arginine.
Nitric oxide is produced when the body breaks down arginine. This amino acid is found in most high-protein foods. Try to eat 4-5 servings per week of foods like:
Fish (e.g. salmon, swordfish)
Meats (e.g. lamb, beef)
Cheese
Eggs
Nuts
Legumes
Beans
2-3. Drink beet juice for an increase in nitric oxide.
Beet juice can increase your levels of nitric oxide significantly before a workout. Drink at least 150 millilitres (5.1 fl oz) of it an hour before working out, or regularly during the week to raise your levels consistently. To mix things up, add beet juice to smoothies or mix it with other juices for a variety of flavors.
Berries have the sweetness and tartness to hide the taste of beets when mixed with them.
2-4. Eat dark chocolate to ease your body's production of nitric oxide.
Dark chocolate contains polyphenols, which can help to ease your oxidative stress. In turn, it can promote the body's production of nitric oxide. A few times a week, eat 3-4 squares of chocolate containing at least 85% cocoa.
This should amount to 40 grams (1.4 oz) of chocolate.
Swap milk chocolate or candy for dark chocolate as a snack or small dessert.
2-5. Ask your doctor about nitrosigine supplements.
Nitrosigine supplements are used by some body builders to increase their nitric oxide levels and boost their energy during hard workouts. The increased blood flow created by nitric oxide helps with muscle growth and recovery. Ask your doctor if nitrosigine supplements would be a viable choice for you.
Do not take nitrosigine without first discussing the potential risks with your doctor.
Tips
High nitric oxide levels can also prevent erectile dysfunction and improve sexual health.[8]
X
Research source
Purchase PH test strips online or in health stores to monitor your nitric oxide levels.
Warnings
Avoid animal nitrates, which are found in processed meats and linked to increased cancer risk.
Eating beets may turn your urine pink or red, but is not harmful.[9]

How to Boost Self Esteem
|
1. Developing a Positive Lifestyle
1-1. Take care of yourself.
Raising your self-esteem first and foremost means setting aside time and attention for yourself. Showing that you value yourself is a first step in learning to see how others value you. Make sure that you do things like:
Get plenty of exercise
Develop a daily routine for yourself that makes you feel good, such as taking a bubble bath at the end of the day or going for a walk in the afternoon.
Gain a new skill or hobby, develop a talent, or just learn about subjects that interest you.
Feel good about where you live! Set aside time to clean and decorate your home, even in simple ways.
1-2. Eat healthy
To feel good, you need to be well-nourished. This means eating a balanced diet. Some nutrients, such as vitamin D and vitamin B12, can even give your mood an additional boost.
Good sources of vitamin D include salmon, dairy products, and fortified juices.
Good sources of vitamin B12 include liver, fortified cereals, and dairy products.
1-3. Take time to do things you enjoy.
Low self-esteem can cause a great deal of stress. If you set aside time for things that you like doing, however, you can relieve some of this stress and connect with your sense of self-worth. Read a book, use a musical or artistic talent, go to the movies or a game, spend time with friends—whatever you enjoy!
1-4. Accomplish something.
Problems with self-esteem are often tied to feelings that you are unsuccessful. A good antidote for this feeling is setting and meeting a goal of accomplishing something. Even small accomplishments will make you feel more confident and successful.
Doing things to improve the appearance and comfort of your home can be a great place to start: cleaning your home, clearing out a closet, decorating, etc.
Taking care of low stress, low stakes tasks like running errands or going to the grocery store can also make you feel good about accomplishing something.
You can also set your sights on accomplishing long-term goals, such as lowering or eliminating debt, learning a new skill, losing weight, etc.
1-5. Dress well.
While image should not be your primary motivation, considering your appearance can have a positive effect on your self-esteem. This doesn’t mean that you need to buy expensive clothes, however. Dress in whatever clothing you have that makes you feel confident, and your inner feeling will project outwards!
1-6. Give yourself rewards.
You can show that you value yourself if you let yourself have something special now and then. Giving yourself a reward shows that you care about everything you do, especially if the reward comes after working really hard at something.
Rewards don’t have to take the form of material things. You can also reward yourself with experiences. For instance, you could go to a concert after completing a big project at work or school.
1-7. Spend time with good people.
If you want to boost your self-esteem, then surround yourself with people who are positive, supportive, and kind. Avoid people who are negative, mean to you, or seem to hold you back.
1-8. Practice kindness.
If you are struggling with feeling good about yourself, try doing something nice for someone else. You will feel good that you helped someone out. Showing that you care about others also boosts your expectations that others should care about you. Try:
Practicing random acts of kindness, such as paying for a stranger’s meal.
Visiting a friend or relative who is sick.
Helping neighbors with yard work.
Volunteering for good causes in your community.
2. Acknowledging Your Good Qualities
2-1. Make positive lists.
Taking time to consider positive aspects of your life can be an instant boost to your self-esteem. By surrounding yourself with good thoughts, you will push negativity out of your mind. Try making lists of:
Things you are thankful for
Your good qualities (such as kindness, patience, and thoughtfulness)
Strengths or talents you may have (such as a good work ethic, intelligence, artistic or musical abilities, skills in an academic or professional area, etc.)
2-2. Try a mutually complimentary exercise.
Sit down with a friend, family member, or someone else you trust. Take turns offering each other compliments or describing good qualities that the other person has. This simple exercise will boost your own self esteem and the other person’s
2-3. Keep a “positive scrapbook.”
Make a collection of things that celebrate you and your good qualities. These might include photographs, letters, awards, souvenirs of places you have been, and other reminders of positive things in your life. Make sure to add to keep adding to it, and look it over when you feel like your self-esteem needs a boost.
This doesn’t have to take the form of an actual scrapbook. Any kind of collection will do, such as a box or display shelf.
2-4. Make a self-esteem calendar.
Take a calendar, and for each day, schedule a small thing you can do to make yourself feel better. These can include things like “Make my favorite meal,” “Call my friend,” or “Go for a walk in the park.” Check off the things you accomplish each day, and reflect on how you feel afterwards.
3. Creating a Positive Attitude
3-1. Turn negative thoughts around.
Problems with self-esteem often arise due to some external stressor or crisis. While you might not be able to prevent this, you can have some control over how you think about things. When you feel negative thoughts popping up, stop and turn them into something more positive.
When you think something self-critical (such as “I’m so stupid”), ask yourself questions like: “Is it true? Would I say it to/about someone else? Do I gain anything by thinking this? What would I gain if I stopped thinking this way?”
Focus on subtly rephrasing thoughts so that they put more emphasis on how to view a situation positively. For instance, instead of thinking “I won’t let myself be so distracted at school any more,” try saying to yourself “I am going to develop my work ethic.”
Try this simple exercise. Fold a piece of paper in half. On one side, write any negative thoughts you may have about yourself. On the other side, write a corresponding positive thought to replace each negative one.
3-2. Accept some failure.
No one can succeed at everything all of the time. Failure is a part of life. You can, however, recognize and feel good about your effort when you try hard at something. You can also think about how you can learn from mistakes.
For instance, if you don’t do well on an exam (even if you studied hard), take a moment to recognize your effort. You probably did better than if you hadn’t studied at all, and you can review your mistakes to find out how to improve in the future.
3-3. Listen to yourself.
Your body and mind often suggest what you need to do, and listening to your needs can help you feel better. This might mean something as simple as getting more sleep if you feel tired. However, listening to yourself also means trusting and following your thoughts and instincts. For instance, if you find yourself constantly thinking about moving to be closer to family, that might be something important for you to do.
3-4. Don’t compare yourself to others.
Life is often very competitive, but it is important to set standards for yourself rather than trying to match everyone else.Recognize that everyone isn’t the best at everything, and that each person has individual strengths. If you feel like you want to improve some aspect of your life, make a goal of doing it for yourself, and don’t worry about what others do or think.
For example, if you want to develop your abilities in a sport like basketball or tennis, set a goal that you think would be a personal improvement, rather than just trying to match or beat someone else.
3-5. Find support.
If you feel you have a problem with self-esteem, you don’t have to handle it alone. Good friends and family will be happy to make you feel better, spend time with you, and share your good qualities. You can also find a support group or counselor in your area to work with and find ways to develop your self-esteem.
3-6. Identify the source of the problem.
Knowing what causes you to feel low self-esteem can help you combat the problem. Sometimes, specific causes can be hard to identify, but common triggers include:
A high-stakes situation, such as a major project at work or school
Significant changes in personal or professional life, such as the end of a relationship or the loss of a job
A crisis, such as illness, injury, financial problems
Bullying
Negative perceptions of body image

How to Boost Serotonin
|
1. Boosting Serotonin Through Diet
1-1. Understand the serotonin/food myths.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of myths surrounding food and increased levels of serotonin. These myths include:
Foods rich in tryptophan automatically boost serotonin. This is false. Most foods that contain tryptophan, an amino acid, compete with other amino acids to be absorbed by the body's transport system. Eating a lot of turkey, which is rich in tryptophan, will not automatically give you more serotonin.
Eating a lot of banana will automatically boost serotonin. Bananas do contain serotonin. That serotonin, however, is unable to cross the blood-brain barrier and be absorbed by humans.
1-2. Shun the simple carbs and embrace the complex carbs.
Complex carbohydrates are absorbed by the body differently than simple carbohydrates. Simple carbs raise your blood levels quickly, causing a spike in insulin, which drops after a while. Complex carbs are absorbed more slowly by the body and therefore avoid the massive peaks and troughs brought upon by simple carbs.
include:
Legumes like peas and lentils
Whole grain breads
Whole grain pastas
Brown rice
Starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes and parsnips
include:
Yogurt
Fruit juice
"Normal" pasta
Cakes, candies, and other refined sugar products
White bread and white rice, while not technically simple carbs, are absorbed by your body in a similar way.
1-3. Avoid caffeinated foods, especially energy drinks.
Caffeine suppresses serotonin, which could also help explain why it's a hunger suppressant as well. Energy drinks contain large amounts of sugar, which the body processes quickly, but which produce an energy-zapping low after the insulin has finished surging. If you have to drink caffeinated products, wait until after you've eaten, doctors recommend.
1-4. Eat healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids are hypothesized to affect the functionality of serotonin in the brain. People with low serotonin levels commonly have low DHA levels, which is an essential building block in the brain, and which needs to be replenished with foods such as fish oils, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Look for omega-3 fats in:
Fish, such as salmon, and fish oils
Nuts, seeds, and seed oils, such as flaxseed oil
1-5. Eat dark chocolate.
Eating dark chocolate improves serotonin levels partly because of resveratrol. Resveratrol boosts both endorphins and serotonin levels. Remember to reach for dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, as milk chocolate contains far less cocoa (the stuff that produces serotonin) than dark chocolate.
Avoid dark chocolate that uses “Dutch processing” or “Dutching” since it removes the flavanols that provide the most health benefits. Check the packaging of dark chocolate or cocoa before you buy it.
2. Boosting Serotonin in Other Ways
2-1. Exercise regularly.
Exercise is a great way to boost your serotonin levels. The results are clear: exercise causes an increase in tryptophan, which is a precursor to serotonin. The tryptophan persists well after exercising is finished, suggesting that mood elevation may be present for hours after the exercising has finished.
Work out at intensity levels with which you are familiar. Consistent serotonin release is linked with exercise that people feel comfortable with, not exercise that pushes people off the edge, an English study has found.
If you can't find the time to exercise regularly, try walking for 30 minutes to an hour per day. At the very least, this moderate exercise will help burn calories and boost tryptophan levels, causing an increase in serotonin.
2-2. Get enough light.
Light probably helps serotonin synthesis. Research has found a positive correlation between serotonin synthesis and total hours of sunlight during the day. In postmortems of humans, serotonin levels are higher during the summer months than the winter months. Getting a better mood could be as easy as opening the curtains in your otherwise dark room.
Get natural light during the day, not artificial light during the night. Natural, daytime sunlight is better at giving you serotonin than artificial LED, fluorescent, or UV light. Getting artificial light, especially at night, has the added disadvantage of blocking melatonin production, which helps your body get a good night's sleep.
2-3. Invest in a massage.
Several studies show that massage therapy helps cut down the stress hormone cortisol while boosting serotonin levels and increasing dopamine. This double-pronged benefit makes massage particularly valuable.
2-4. Understand that stress may interfere with serotonin.
Prolonged periods of stress can deplete serotonin levels. Serious and systematic stress can have an impact on the body's ability to produce and synthesize serotonin. This means that you should stay away from stressful situations as much as possible, and find healthy ways to deal with stress once it comes your way.
If confronted with lifestyle stress, try practicing:
Yoga
Meditation
Deep breathing exercises
Self-expression (art)
2-5. Relive happy memories.
Though it may sound corny, reliving happy times may be enough to give your brain a serotonin boost. This may directly increase serotonin levels and keep you from fixating on less happy times, if you are prone to depression. The inability to think of happier times is called "state-dependent recall." If you can't think of happier times, try talking to friends or family and looking at old journals or pictures.
Tips
Eating healthy, exercising, and maintaining an optimistic outlook can do wonders for boosting your serotonin. You don't necessarily need drugs to boost serotonin.
Warnings
Talk to your doctor if you are seriously depressed or inexplicably saddened. You may have a serious condition that needs medical intervention and/or drugs.

How to Boost Thyroid Function
|
1. Improving Your Thyroid Function Through Diet
1-1. Eat a diet of whole, fresh foods.
If you have thyroid problems, you should adopt a healthier, clean eating diet plan. This generally means your diet consists is one of whole, non-processed foods. Promoting a healthy lifestyle for yourself leads to healthier thyroid function.
Clean diets full of unprocessed and whole foods help eliminate inflammatory foods, which can have negative effects on your thyroid.
Many people who have thyroid issues have gluten sensitivities. Try to limit, or eliminate completely, the gluten in your food.
1-2. Avoid alcohol and stimulants.
To help promote healthy functioning of your thyroid you should avoid alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco products. These products cause stress hormones to increase, which can affect your thyroid and lead to a hormone imbalance.
If you don’t want to give up alcohol and caffeine forever, you should cut them out of your diet for a few weeks, then use them in moderation. There are some studies that suggest black coffee may be beneficial for neurological health.
1-3. Incorporate foods that support your thyroid.
Certain foods can help your thyroid work better. For any thyroid disease, make sure you include the foods that support your thyroid gland. These foods include:
Berries, such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, blackberries, elderberries, salmon berries, and blackberries. Berries contain high levels of antioxidants which help boost your immune system and dampen inflammation.
Lots of fresh vegetables. Include a wide variety of colors, such as greens, plus red, orange, yellow, and purple vegetables, and all types of vegetables, like leafy, stem, florets, and tubers.
Fish, like salmon, mackerel and tuna. These fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Non-fish sources of omega-3 fatty acids are walnuts, borage, and flaxseed oils. Omega-3 fatty acids are important building blocks for naturally produced anti-inflammatory substances in your body.
Foods with vitamin D. You can eat fish and mushrooms, or dairy products fortified with vitamin D. To increase vitamin D, you can also spend 10 to 15 minutes in the sun.
High-quality protein. Try to get one at every meal. Good sources of protein include poultry, beans, eggs, legumes, and nuts.
1-4. Increase your intake of thyroid-supporting nutrients.
You should increase the amount of foods with nutrients that boost the function of your thyroid. Try to eat at least one serving of food containing these nutrients each day.
Eat more vitamin A. Foods high in Vitamin A include vegetables, like sweet potato, spinach and other dark leafy greens, carrots, pumpkin, broccoli, red peppers, summer squash; fruit such as cantaloupe, mangoes, and apricots; legumes, meat, liver, and fish.
Tyrosine is essential for good thyroid function. You can find this in turkey or egg whites.
Selenium also helps regulate thyroid production. Brazil nuts are the best source of selenium. You can also find selenium in tuna, mushrooms, beef, sunflower seeds, halibut, and soybeans.
Check your iodine. In developing countries, supplementing your iodine intake with iodine-based salt can improve thyroid function; however, in many developed countries, you may be at risk for an excess of iodine, which can cause autoimmune thyroiditis. Talk to your doctor about your iodine intake and if you need to adjust it.
1-5. Limit thyroid-suppressing foods.
If you are have hypothyroidism, that means your thyroid works slower than normal. Some foods may interfere with your thyroid’s function by suppressing it, which can make hypothyroidism worse. Limit certain vegetables, such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, rutabagas, broccoli, and bok choy. These foods can interfere with iodine uptake in the thyroid. If you want to eat them, make sure to steam them and don’t eat them raw.
It is recommended to limit peanuts/peanut butter as this can interfere with iodine uptake in our bodies.
You should eliminate foods that have high levels of mercury, such as swordfish, mackerel, shark, and most tuna. These foods interfere with your thyroid.
2. Boosting Thyroid Function Through Lifestyle Changes
2-1. Minimize stress.
Stress can have negative effects on your thyroid. Stress overworks the adrenal glands, which can accompany an underactive thyroid. Cortisol levels are also increased by stress, which affects insulin levels and hunger.
Stress also causes people to overeat or turn to junk food, which can negatively affect the thyroid.
Learn stress-relieving techniques, such as deep breathing, yoga, or tai chi. Other approaches can include meditation, massage, and getting enough sleep.
Taking time off from your responsibilities can be very beneficial and restorative as well.
2-2. Do more aerobic exercise.
Increasing your level of physical activity can also help boost your thyroid function. You should set a goal of 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five days a week.
Try walking, swimming, rowing machines, ellipticals, stair steppers, or any form of cardio exercise that you enjoy. Talk to your physician to make sure there are no limitations.
Start slow and progress at your own pace. Set reasonable goals for yourself.
2-3. Incorporate more strength training.
Strength training can also help boost your thyroid function. You should add two to three days of strength training to your weekly exercise routine. Strength training also helps promote weight loss and reduce stress.
Try using weight machines at the gym. You can also lift free weights. Talk to your doctor about the proper exercises for you.
3. Supporting Your Thyroid Function Medically
3-1. See your doctor.
If you have any of the risk factors or symptoms of thyroid disease, see your doctor and let her know your concerns. Thyroid disease can be treated and the outcomes are generally very good. You will need to get a blood test as well as a physical exam and review of your symptoms.
Don’t put off seeing your physician. Knowing is always better than not knowing.
Certain medications can interfere with your thyroid function. When you visit your doctor, you should let her know about any medications you take, including supplements or natural, herbal remedies. If you have been prescribed drugs such as lithium, thioamides, alpha interferon, interleukin-2, cholestyramine, perchlorate, expectorants, aluminum hydroxide and raloxifene, talk to your physician about the risk of thyroid disease.
3-2. Undergo thyroid replacement therapy.
Thyroid replacement therapy is a medically prescribed treatment for hypothyroidism. It helps replace normal thyroid function. The most common is synthetic T4 that works the same way as the T4 your body makes.
The synthetic T4 is taken once a day by mouth, usually in the morning thirty minutes before breakfast.
3-3. Take a supplement.
You can help boost your thyroid function by taking nutritional and vitamin supplements that provide the body with the nutrients needed to support a healthy supplement. Do not start taking supplements without speaking to a practitioner who is well versed in this area of expertise. Taking supplements to specifically affect thyroid function should be guided approach.
You can take supplements for vitamin D, vitamin A, zinc, selenium, B12, and omega-3 fats.
Make sure when you take a selenium supplement that you don’t take over 200 mg a day.
4. Understanding the Thyroid
4-1. Learn the importance of the thyroid.
The thyroid gland plays a very important role in a number of critical functions. The thyroid helps maintain energy levels, normal temperature, weight, clear thinking, the response of the body to other hormones, and the synthesis of proteins. The thyroid is located at the base of the neck and wraps around the front of the neck, like a bow tie or a butterfly. Thyroid problems can develop suddenly or develop over the course of years.
The most common conditions that affect the thyroid are hypothyroidism, which is an underactive thyroid, and hyperthyroidism, an overactive thyroid.
The most common form of hypothyroid disease is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder where the body is producing antibodies to the thyroid. This leads to the decreased production of thyroid hormones and an underactive thyroid.
4-2. Recognize the risk factors.
There are a number of factors that may put you at risk for hypothyroidism. Knowing the risk factors can help you determine if any symptoms you have may be related to your thyroid function. If any of these risk factors apply to you, talk to your physician about thyroid screening. Screening can help diagnose thyroid disease early. These risk factors include:
Age: As with many disorders, the risk of hypothyroidism increases as you age.
Gender: Women are at greater risk for hypothyroidism.
Family History: Thyroid disease tends to run in families. If a close relative has had thyroid disease, you are at greater risk.
Autoimmune disease: The presence of any autoimmune disease increases the risk of thyroid disease.
Medical history of radiation to the neck or chest.
4-3. Diagnose thyroid problems.
Thyroid disease is diagnosed by both physical symptoms and lab results. Your doctor will take blood and test your thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH) to determine if you are at risk.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, depression, difficulty concentrating, weight gain, slower heartbeats, dry skin, thinning hair, sensitivity to cold, irregular menstrual cycles, constipation, and swelling around the neck.

How to Boost Your Car's Horsepower
|
1. Improving Performance
1-1. Reduce the weight of the car.
One of the easiest things that you can do right now to increase the horsepower is to make your vehicle as light as possible, which allows your vehicle accelerate better. Remove unnecessary clutter from your car, and strip it down as much as possible for optimum performance.
1-2. Upgrade to a free-flowing exhaust system
Upgrading to a high-performance exhaust system can increase your horsepower by a measure of five to 10 on some natural aspiration vehicles, while vehicles with an additional supercharger can pick up much more.
It's a common misconception that oversized piping negatively affects back pressure, resulting in a loss of low-end torque and power. In truth, most engines prefer the most free-flowing system, in terms of intake, header and exhaust.
1-3. Use test piping.
Research "cat-back" systems for purchase, also sometimes called "test piping." These systems run from your catalytic converter to the end of the exhaust piping, increasing horsepower. The installation kit is generally several hundred dollars, but you could save on the price by shopping around and doing it yourself.
Measure the diameter of the pipe that comes out of your catalytic converter, and replace with larger exhaust piping. You can pay to have this installed at the shop, or you can do it yourself by cutting the old exhaust piping and leaving a few inches to weld onto. If you do, position the new system in place and weld or clamp it to the spot you just cut. Reinstall the hangers that you removed.
1-4. Upgrade to a free-flow aftermarket air filter.
It's also a good idea to buy a free-flow air filter that fits your car and install it to slightly increase your HP. It's not a big change, but it's a good way to ensure that your vehicle is performing at the highest-possible level.
Open the hood, locate the air filter housing, and remove it. Unscrew clamps or screws, taking care to avoid getting any contaminants into the filter housing. Remove and discard the old air filter. Clean the inside of the box with a damp cloth and insert your new, free-flow filter.
Be aware the many aftermarket air filters will actually allow greater particulate matter to pass into the engine and oil filters, especially if improperly maintained, and will also spray oil into the intake. The oil from the filter can damage or destroy the mass air flow (MAF) sensor on vehicles so equipped. In forced-induction engines the marginal benefit of increased air flow with an aftermarket filter is generally outweighed by the fact that the turbo will supply the requested air regardless of the filter used, and greatly increased reliability from not having oil and sand in the intake and on the MAF.
1-5. Research turbocharge and supercharge options.
Installing a supercharger in a large-block engine, or a turbocharger in a smaller-block, will basically involve completely rebuilding your engine and upgrading the stress-bearing components of the engine, which will cost several thousands of dollars. It's a huge project, but is the most effective way to increase the horsepower of your vehicle. If you're committed to installing a supercharger in your car, you might consider the following varieties:
are the oldest type of supercharger system, usually among the cheapest, are and quite popular among racing vehicles. They work by funneling extremely large quantities of air through the intake manifold, providing quick bursts of energy.
pull air through lobes, which becomes trapped in the rotor housing and becomes compressed in a cone-shaped tapering device. Not legal in all states, these superchargers tend to be extremely loud.
make use of a powered impeller to pull high-pressure air into a compressor, reaching upward of 60,000 RPM easily, making them the most efficient supercharger for your vehicle.
2. Reflashing Your Car's Computer
2-1. Enhance a turbocharged engine with a programmer.
These devices modify the programming on your vehicle's computer, called "reflashing," to allow for more horsepower, torque, and sometimes better fuel economy. On a naturally-aspirated engine, the horsepower increase will be quite minor, but with a supercharger you can see huge gains in HP.
Some auto shops will advertise flashing options, saving you lots of money in the process. In practical terms, it's not something people often do themselves, so you might talk with a mechanic you trust about it if you're interested.
2-2. Enhance supercharged engine's computer with a power module.
Aftermarket power modules can be used in a similar way, sometimes offering up to 30 extra HP with proper installation.
To install, look in the driver's manual, a Chilton or a Haynes guide to see how to access the car's computer, then disconnect negative battery cable and unplug the wiring harness from the computer.
Plug in an aftermarket power module. Insert it between the wiring harness and the computer. Reconnect negative battery cable.
2-3. Weigh the pros and cons.
On the upside, re-flashing the computer in your car can be a great and efficient way of upping the horsepower, giving you a powerful ride. On the downside, it's an expensive process that requires you already have a supercharged engine — another expensive process. Many performance modifications to an engine can also decrease its fuel economy, and reflashing also generally voids any warranty on a vehicle you've purchased. Know that if you choose to complete the process, it's on you.
Tips
Many modern cars have snorkels on the airbox intake placed at a high pressure point in the front of the vehicle to intake cooler outside air. If one chooses to install an aftermarket cold air intake (CAI) attention should be paid to the current setup.[10]

How to Boost Your Curls
|
1. Washing Curly Hair
1-1. Shampoo every third time you shower.
Preserve your hair's natural moisture by conditioning every time you shower, but only shampooing every third time. This technique works best for restoring life in coarse, dry, thick hair.
Strive to use curl-enhancing hydrating conditioners when you wash.
1-2. Try co-washing.
Co-washing is when you wash your hair with conditioner instead of shampoo. This is something that many people with curly hair do because it helps to control frizz. Conditioners contain small amounts of detergents that remove dirt from your hair, but the result is hair that is much softer and smoother than hair that has been shampooed.
Try replacing your regular shampoo with conditioner and see how you like the results.
1-3. Use sulfate-free shampoo.
Sulfate-free shampoos are gentler on your hair and they help to prevent frizz. Sodium lauryl sulfate, a key ingredient in most traditional shampoos, is harsh on curls. Look for shampoos that have argan oil or coconut oil instead. Argan oil is particularly effective at preventing heat damage, as the oil is absorbed by dry hair to prevent it from becoming too brittle.
1-4. Massage your products into your hair.
Moving in a circular motion, use your fingertips to gently massage your scalp. Let the water rinse out your hair, and avoid aggressively scrubbing your hair at any point so you don't disrupt your curl pattern.
1-5. Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel.
When you step out of the shower, it will be tempting to just fluff up your curls with a quick rub. Instead, pat your hair with the towel to leave a touch of moisture without disrupting your natural curl pattern.
Use a microfiber towel for drying your hair. These are much gentler than cotton towels.
2. Using Styling Tools and Techniques
2-1. Use a wide-toothed comb when you brush.
Using a wide-toothed comb or your fingers, as opposed to a traditional bristle brush, can be a great way to preserve natural curls without damaging or breaking your hair.
If you have coarse, tightly curled hair, always brush and detangle your hair when it is wet or damp. Apply some conditioner to your hair first and then use a wide tooth comb or your fingers to detangle it.
Do not try to detangle your hair when it is dry. Brushing tightly curled hair when it is dry will lead to frizz and, potentially, breakage. Looser curls can be brushed dry or wet before and during cleaning sessions.
2-2. Brush from the tips to the roots.
Brushing from the roots down can result in breakage in curly hair, so always start at the ends of your hair and brush toward your scalp.
2-3. Attach a diffuser to your blowdryer.
By using a diffuser, you can spread heat more evenly and define your natural curls and waves. After you start to see your curls begin to take shape, allow your hair to air-dry the rest of the way.
2-4. Pin your hair up.
Starting at the roots, wrap a small section of hair around your finger, slide your finger out, and pin it down. Allow you hair to air-dry, then remove the clips and fluff your amped-up curls with your fingers.
2-5. Avoid sleeping on your hair.
For long hair, gather your locks in a loose ponytail at the highest point on your head and simply let it down when you wake up. This protects the curl pattern and volume from being flattened while you sleep. For short or long hair, consider sleeping with a satin bonnet or cap to prevent nighttime knots and tangles.
2-6. Visit a hair dresser for a curl-enhancing haircut.
Be sure to always get your hair cut when dry. In some cases, your hair stylist may need to blow dry and flat iron you hair before cutting it to straighten it out. Curly hair, unlike straight or wavy hair, behaves quite differently when wet and dry. By getting a dry cut, you ensure that your “tamed” curls flow down instead of out and are cut to be clean, sharp, and frizz-free.
Set an appointment again as soon as your curls start to flatten at the crown.
Ask for scissors, not a razor. Scissors create sharp, clean lines that reduce frizz and fly-aways.
3. Using Styling Products
3-1. Volumize and condition.
Curly hair tends to be dry, so you will want to stock up on styling product to prevent the frizz and flattening that comes with brittle hair. Make sure to choose products that are labeled as “moisturizing.” Try spraying a moisturizing volumizer at the roots and treat your tresses with a leave-in conditioner from the ends to about mid-length.
3-2. Mix up a cocktail.
People with curly hair have unique and specific needs, and sometimes it can be useful to mix together products. For example, you might create a mixture of smoothing serum, coconut oil, and styling gel to address and tackle styling problems.
Stock up on curl-enhancing products and experiment to find the right mixture to combat a combination problems, including frizz, dryness, and dullness.
Keep in mind that what works for someone else might not work for you. Try different combinations to find the best mixture of products for your hair.
3-3. Avoid styling products with alcohol.
Products with alcohol dry out your hair and tend to give curly hair a crunchy, dry texture. That is why many companies produce gels, mousses, and hairsprays that are alcohol-free. Look for products that provide control with a non-brittle hold.
3-4. Use sea salt spray.
Look for moisturizing sea salt sprays, because these will trap a bit of moisture and add volume by helping your curls stick together in defined strands.
Tips
Use products made for curly hair. These tend to be water-soluble and moisturizing, and, of course, curl-friendly.[20]
X
Research source
Sleep on a silk pillowcase. Cotton tends to soak up moisture, which may further dry out your hair. Silk cuts down on friction and prevents breakage, leaving your curls more manageable.[21]

Visit a local beauty store and talk to experts. These employees know the best products for different hair types and can often point you in the right direction or advise against techniques that may be damaging.

How to Boost Your Download Speed: 26 Easy Tricks That Work
|
1. Stick to one download at a time.
The more files you try to download at once, the slower each file will download.
Limit your downloads to one file at a time to ensure you get each file as fast as possible.
2. Avoid streaming video and music while you download.
Turn off streaming services while downloading large files.
Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, smart TV apps, and even YouTube can be a serious drain on your download speed. If downloading a file quickly is your goal, make sure that you're not streaming anything while you download.
If anyone else sharing your internet connection is streaming while you download, this will also impact your speeds. Ask your family members to stop streaming for a moment while you download the rest of your file.
3. Close other open apps while downloading.
Having multiple apps and browser tabs open while you download can wreck your download speeds.
While downloading files, free up bandwidth by closing any programs you're not using. Even if your apps don't appear to be accessing the internet, they might be doing so in the background.
For example, if you're downloading a game with BitTorrent, you may be able to speed up your downloads by closing your web browser.
4. Don't seed or upload while downloading torrents.
Avoid seeding or uploading while attempting to download.
As noble as it may be to give back to your favorite torrenting community by uploading, doing so while downloading will all but kill your download speeds. Wait to seed until all of your downloads have completed and you're no longer using the internet (e.g., when you're at work or asleep).
5. Enable parallel downloading.
Parallel downloading means the downloader can establish multiple connections to download a single file in parts.
It increases the overall download speed when compared to regular downloads. The browser which is made by Chromium has a parallel downloading function. For example, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Firefox, and so on.
Launch the latest version of Google Chrome, type the following command chrome://flags in the address bar, and press Enter.
Type the keyword parallel in the search box, this can help you quickly locate the parallel download option.
The current status of parallel downloading is , which means it is not enabled. Click the drop-down menu and then select .
After selecting , relaunch Google Chrome to take effect the changes.
6. Do an internet speed test.
Check your download speed
The easiest way to do this is to type internet speed into Google and then click the button. This will give you an estimate of your current download speed.
If your download speed is significantly faster than what you're seeing when downloading files, your internet connection is fine. The problem is likely on your computer or your local network. Or, if you're noticing slowness with just one file, the issue could be with that file or its server.
If the speed test reports that your connection is slow, your ISP could be having trouble with their network. There could also be a problem with your modem, router, or even the wiring in your home or neighborhood.
7. Restart your computer.
If you haven't already, a quick reboot of your PC or Mac can clear up problems with download speeds.
Once your computer comes back up, start your download again. This can be a quick way to get a download speed boost without having to dig into your settings.
8. Disconnect other devices from your network.
Disconnect any non-essential devices from the internet.
The more devices you have on your network, the slower your internet will be. While downloading, turn off or disconnect any gaming consoles, smart TVs, phones, tablets, and other PCs and Macs sharing your internet connection.
9. Disable background apps.
Apps may be running in the background even if they aren't displaying open windows.
Whether you're using Windows or macOS, you can easily check for and disable background apps to free up bandwidth for your downloads.
Open Task Manager by pressing at the same time.
On the tab, which opens automatically, check the list of apps under "Background processes."
To stop a task, select it, then click .
In Finder, open the folder, open , and then double-click
To stop a process, select it, then click the at the top-left corner of the window.
Click to close the app when it's safe to do so, or to close the app immediately.
10. Get closer to your Wi-Fi access point.
If you're using Wi-Fi, your downloads may slow down if you're too far from the wireless router.
If your computer is in a different room (or on a different floor) than your Wi-Fi access point, try getting as close to the router as possible for the duration of your download.
Using a wireless range extender can help boost your Wi-Fi signal to parts of your home or office where you don't have as much signal. This can get you faster speeds further from the router.
11. Switch to 2.4 GHz if you're using 5 GHz (or vice-versa).
It may be beneficial to switch Wi-Fi frequencies depending on your home or office layout.
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi travels a farther distance at lower speeds, while 5 GHz provide faster speeds at shorter ranges. If your router supports both frequencies, switching to the other might benefit you.
While you'll get better wireless coverage using 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi in your home or office at further distances, your data transfer speeds will be lower than with 5 GHz. So, if your computer can be in the same room as your Wi-Fi access point, switching to 5 GHz will improve speeds.
2.4 GHz is more vulnerable to interference than 5 GHz, such as from microwaves, baby monitors, garage door openers, and security cameras. And, if you live in an apartment or condo, your neighbors' Wi-Fi connections can overcrowd 2.4 GHz bands.
Physical obstructions, including walls, tall furniture, and glass from mirrors and windows can also interfere with your connection to the Wi-Fi router, especially if you're using 5 GHz. If there's no way to minimize obstructions, switching to 2.4 GHz can improve your download speeds.
12. Use different DNS servers.
Using your ISP's default DNS servers might be slowing down your downloads.
If the DNS servers used by your ISP are far away or overloaded, you'll likely notice poorer internet speeds overall. Fortunately, there are many reliable public DNS servers known for their speed and reliability, including Google Public DNS and Open DNS.
IPv4: and
IPv6: and

Click .
Click and enter the first IPv4 or IPv6 server you want to use. Then, click again to enter the second IP address.
Click .
13. Make sure there aren't any updates running.
If an operating system updates in the background, your downloads will slow to a crawl.
Wait until updates are finished downloading and installing before downloading files. To check for active updates on your PC or Mac:
In the Start menu, select , then choose (Windows 11) or > (Windows 10).
If an update is downloading, you'll see its progress.
You can select to temporarily stop updates so you can finish your download.
Click the Apple menu, choose , select , and then choose .
Click the Apple menu, click , and select .
If an update is installing, you'll see its progress. It's best to pause your download, finish your update, and then restart the download.
To customize when your Mac downloads updates, click and make your selections.
14. Set bandwidth limits for background downloads (Windows).
If Windows updates often bog down your downloads, you can limit how much bandwidth is used for updates.
There's an option in your Windows Update settings that makes this an easy change:
You'll find your update settings in > > > > > . Check the box next to "Limit how much bandwidth is used for downloading updates in the background," and move the slider to the left to decrease update bandwidth.
Go to > > > > > . Select "Absolute bandwidth," check the box next to "Limit how much bandwidth is used for downloading updates in the background," and enter a number in Mbps, such as "1."
15. Clear your web browser cache.
Having a hefty web browser cache can slow down web browsing, which can affect your downloads.
No matter which web browser you're using, clearing your browser cache can give you a quick speed boost.
16. Scan for viruses and malware.
If your computer is infected with adware, spyware, a virus, or other malware, you'll usually notice slower download speeds.
Fortunately, you can run an antimalware scan for free. If you're using Windows, you can use the built-in Microsoft Defender tool to run a scan. If you have a Mac, you can run a free scan using Avast or Malwarebytes.
17. Disable metered connection (Windows).
If your connection is metered (limited) to conserve bandwidth, your downloads will be slow.
Metered connections are usually used when your internet service plan doesn't include unlimited data. Just keep in mind that data overages may apply if you go over your allotted data plan.
Click the Start menu and select .
Click and choose (if using Wi-Fi) or (for a wired connection).
Click the Wi-Fi network you're connected to.
Click .
Toggle off the "Set as metered connection" switch.
18. Delete the temporary files clogging up your hard drive (Windows).
The temporary files created by Windows may be slowing down your computer.
If your PC is performing slowly, your downloads will be slow as well. Clearing your temporary files is quick, easy, and won't affect your personal data.
In the search bar, type disk cleanup, then click in the search results.
Choose your hard drive and click .
Click .
Select your hard drive again and click .
Check the boxes next to any of the files you want to delete, including , , and .
Click and then .
19. Restart your network.
A quick network reset can clear up all sorts of problems, including slow download speeds.
If you have combination modem/router, unplug its power cord, remove any connected cables, and leave it unplugged for about 30 seconds. Reconnect the cables and turn the modem/router back on.
If your modem and router are separate, unplug both power cords, and unplug the network cable that connects your modem to your wall outlet. Leave everything unplugged for 30 seconds, then reconnect your devices.
20. Switch to a wired connection.
Try connecting your computer to your router via Ethernet.
If you're using Wi-Fi and experiencing slow downloads, connecting directly to the router with an Ethernet cable will likely give you a major speed boost.
21. Try a different web browser.
If you're downloading files from a website, your current browser may not be optimized.
If you're using Safari on a Mac, try installing Chrome to see if you get better download speeds. If you normally use Chrome on your Windows PC, try using Microsoft Edge. You can also try an alternative browser like Brave or Opera.
22. Consider a download manager.
If you download a lot of files, using a download manager can help you prioritize them.
Download managers can help you prioritize your downloads, automatically accelerate downloads based on available connections, and restart aborted downloads after interruptions.
Speed-Up-Downloads-when-Using-Internet-Download-Manager-(IDM) (IDM) is a popular download manager for Windows that promises to speed up your downloads. While IDM isn't free, there is a 30 day free trial.
Free Download Manager is a free, open-source download manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
23. Update your router's firmware.
If your router is running old firmware, you might be missing out on connectivity improvements.
Router manufacturers often release new versions of the software that runs on routers that includes performance enhancements and security updates. To make sure you have the latest and greatest version of your router firmware, check for and install updates.
24. Consider a new router.
If you’re using a much older router, you might not be getting the best speeds.
If your router is more than a couple of years old, it may not be capable of taking advantage of the speeds you're paying for.
If you lease a router through your ISP, contact them to ask if there are newer models available.
When purchasing a new router, make sure you look at models that support the same download speed as your Internet package (or, ideally, higher download speeds).
25. Upgrade your internet connection.
Some internet connections simply aren't able to handle hefty downloads.
Many ISPs have "Gamer" and "Streamer" packages that prioritize download speed, though you'll likely have to pay more for such packages than basic service.
26. Try downloading from another website or user.
Sometimes the problem isn't on your end.
If the site, server, or peer you're downloading from has a slow connection, there won't be anything you can do on your end to speed it up. If you're only experiencing slow downloads from one site or service, you can try getting the file from another source, or just wait until that service works out its network issues.
27. Contact your ISP.
Contact your Internet Service Provider if your internet speeds remain slow.
If you've tried everything else and you can't get your download speeds to increase, you'll need to call your ISP and tell them about the problems you're experiencing.
Tips
Internet download managers are often hit-or-miss. If you try one, make sure you download it from a reputable site.
Warnings
Be careful when updating old machines with new software (e.g., a Windows 7 computer updating to Windows 10). The toll on the computer's architecture is often too great to warrant optimal performance, both online and offline.

How to Boost Your Energy Level in the Afternoon
|
1. Boosting Your Energy in the Afternoon
1-1. Put on some music.
Sometimes all you need is a little motivation to help you feel a little more energized. Put on some of your favorite upbeat music. A faster beat can help you feel a little more energetic.
If you're able, listen to your music a little loudly. This can help jolt you out of your midday fog. If you're not able, try listening to the music throughout headphones so you don't bother your co-workers.
Also try singing or humming along to the song. This can help force your brain to concentrate and focus instead of zoning out.
1-2. Grab an afternoon snack.
A small afternoon snack can provide your body with a little boost of nutrition and energy. Just make sure you pick the right type of snack to keep your energy boosted the rest of the day.
Choose protein and complex carbs for your snacks. Protein can help boost energy and keep you satisfied. Complex carbs are higher in fiber and help prevent a rapid spike in your blood sugar. Together they make the perfect afternoon snack combination.
Try snacks like: carrots and hummus, a low-fat greek yogurt, a piece of fruit and a cheese stick or even a small bowl of oatmeal.
Try a piece of dark chocolate, which contains caffeine and can improve focus. Look for chocolate that has at least 60% cacao.
Avoid high-sugar snacks like candies, sweetened beverages or desserts. These cause your blood sugar to rise rapidly and then crash causing additional fatigue.
Also skip foods that are higher in fat. Too much fat can cause you to feel sluggish and tired since it takes a long time to digest.
1-3. Pour yourself a cup of tea or coffee.
Small amounts of caffeine can help you beat afternoon fatigue as well. Caffeine is a stimulant that can help you feel more awake and focused.
Brew a cup of coffee or tea to help you wake up. Be mindful of the sweetener you use — too much sugar can cause a crash later on. Use very minimal sugar, a natural calorie-free sugar or none at all.
Keep caffeine intake moderate. Too much can be irritating long-term. However, most studies show that two to three cups of coffee throughout the day is safe for most healthy adults.
Note that caffeine can also have the opposite effect - especially on those who already drink somewhat large quantities of it. If you're already a caffeine junky, lay off of it for a few weeks to see if it helps with your fatigue.
1-4. Splash your face with cold water.
Wash the day's stress from your mind by splashing cold water onto your face and neck. Some studies have shown that the cold water can help you wake up and feel more focused.
When you're starting to feel a little sleepy, take a walk break to the bathroom and turn the faucet on cold. Splash yourself for a few minutes until you feel a little more alert.
This same study also showed that a cold shower in the morning, although uncomfortable at first, can help you wake up and de-stress more than a typical warm shower.
1-5. Take a moment to stretch and breathe.
It only takes a few seconds, and the sensation of a stretch can be surprisingly revitalizing. Stretch a little to wake up, de-stress and relax.
It's easy to get stiff at work — especially if you're sitting at a desk all day. You might feel hunched over from staring at your screen, or your neck feels strained for leaning forward all day. Get up and stretch to help your body relax.
Some stretches to try include: neck rolls, reaching up towards the sky and arching backwards, touching your toes, side stretches and seated twists.
1-6. Take a social break.
Break from work for a moment and spend it laughing with friends, going out to grab a coffee or talking about weekend plans.
Socializing is a great way to feel refreshed, even for just a moment. It takes your mind off stress, and laughing picks up your mood.
Ask your friends or co-workers if they'd be interested in taking a regular 3 or 4 pm coffee break. You can get up, move and socialize (all of which can help you feel a little more awake and refreshed).
You can even ask your co-workers to join you on a daily 10 minute yoga break, stretch break or afternoon walk. You're probably not the only one feeling a little sleepy in the afternoons.
1-7. Go for a walk.
Multiple studies have shown that going for a quick walk can help wake you up and give you a burst of energy to get through your afternoon.
Try to go for at least 10 minutes. However, moving around for about 30 minutes will be even better for you.
Get outside if you can. The fresh air will give you a great boost of energy and motivation. A brisk walk will get your heart pumping and your body and mind will no longer feel sluggish.
Consider attending a gym in the mornings to give you more energy throughout the day. A cardio workout or a calming yoga session will help build your stamina and endurance, while relieving stress.
1-8. Take a mini-nap.
If you have the opportunity to sneak away right after lunch for a little shut-eye (possibly finding a conference room that is not in use, going to your car, or closing your door if you're in an office), a 15 to 20 minute nap may be enough to re-energize you for the rest of the day, improving alertness and motor skills.
Longer naps, between 30 and 60 minutes, can improve your decision-making skills and memory.
To get the most benefit from a mid-day nap, try to be consistent about the timing. Aim for a nap between 1 and 3pm. Use a sleep mask to block out any light and, if possible, wrap yourself in a warm blanket or your jacket.
2. Preventing Afternoon Fatigue
2-1. Exercise regularly.
Many studies have shown that regular and consistent physical activity is the best way to fight fatigue and increase your energy.
Health professionals think that regular exercise helps increase the release of energy-promoting neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine which helps you beat the fatigue.
In addition, health professionals recommend doing at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity each day.
In addition to aerobic activity, also include a day or two of strength training to balance out your workouts.
2-2. Eat a balanced diet.
A well-balanced diet is very important for general health, but may also determine how you feel throughout the day.
A balanced diet is a way of eating in which you consume foods from every food group each day. In addition, you should eat a wide variety of foods throughout the day.
To help prevent fatigue you should make sure that all your meals are balanced as well.
For example, big carbohydrate-rich meals (like a pancake breakfast or spaghetti for lunch), can leave you feeling tired and sluggish.
Include a source of lean protein, fruits or vegetables and a high fiber carbohydrate to help balance your energy levels.
2-3. Eat smaller, more frequent meals.
Sometimes, eating more often can help you balance out your body's blood sugar and energy levels throughout the day. Try eating four to six smaller meals daily. These little meals can help provide your body with some nutrition and a small boost of energy throughout the day.
Many people typically go for the three meals a day approach. But if you need a snack during the day or have frequent afternoon slumps, try eating more often.
2-4. Eat a small lunch.
In addition to eating multiple smaller meals throughout the day, make sure that your lunch-time meal is also small. This may help with your afternoon energy levels.
Studies have shown that circadian rhythms are significantly different for those people who ate large meals at lunch. These changes resulted in a more sluggish, tired feeling in the afternoons. This is most likely from drops in blood sugar.
To minimize these effects, stick to smaller portions at lunch time. Stop eating when you're satisfied and not full. Once you're full, you've probably eaten too much and are at risk for some sleepiness later on.
If you have a smaller lunch and feel hungry in the afternoon, have an energy boosting snack to help decrease your hunger and provide a boost.
2-5. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Being dehydrated is one of the top causes of afternoon fatigue and grogginess. Stay hydrated to avoid the afternoon slump.
When your body is hydrated it is more energized. Drink fluids all day long to help prevent fatigue in the afternoons.
Aim for eight to 13 glasses of clear, no-calorie fluids to help keep you hydrated. Try: water, flavored water and decaf coffee and teas.
Also monitor the amount of caffeine you drink. Although it can provide a little boost in energy, large quantities of caffeine can exacerbate dehydration.
2-6. Sleep seven to nine hours a night.
Obviously how much sleep you get each night will also play a significant role in how energized you feel the next day. Aim to get enough sleep every night to prevent fatigue during the day.
Most health experts will recommend getting about seven to nine hours of sleep each night for adults.
Try going to bed earlier or waking up later to help you get in a little more sleep time.
If you have chronic sleep problems, it's important to see your doctor for help. He or she may be able to help you find a medication to help you get to sleep and stay asleep.
2-7. Manage stress.
Some studies link stress to more than half of the reasons why people experience afternoon fatigue. Since stress seems to play a big role in your energy levels, manage it as best you can.
Talk about your stress. This can help you "vent" and relieve some of the tension. Consider talking to friends, family or a therapist for help.
Also try some stress-reducing activities like: meditating, walking, listening to music or reading a good book.
2-8. Talk to your doctor.
If you're experiencing afternoon fatigue often, severe fatigue, or you're unsure of what's causing fatigue, it might be a good idea to talk to your doctor.
In rare cases, there are some health conditions that can cause fatigue. Many of these should be managed by your doctor.
Talk to your doctor about how long you've been feeling fatigued, how often it happens and the severity. This will help him or her better manage your condition.
In addition, many chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity or sleep apnea can cause fatigue and should be closely monitored by your physician.
Tips
Always talk to your doctor about any health issues you're having. Do not treat medical conditions without consulting your physician first.
One of the best ways to fight fatigue is to have a healthy diet, exercise routine and lifestyle.
Get the sleep you need to feel rested when you wake in the morning. This could be around 7-9 hours.

How to Boost Your Girlfriend's Self Esteem
|
1. Complimenting Her
1-1. Remind her of her accomplishments.
If your girlfriend has low self-esteem, she may have trouble noticing her strengths. Make it your job to remind her of your many talents and achievements whenever she seems to forget. Sharing these sorts of compliments will make her feel good about who she is as a person.
For instance, you might say, "I think it's amazing that you choose to spend your evenings and weekends volunteering at the shelter," or "Algebra is so confusing to me. I'm glad I'm dating a math whiz who can help me understand."
1-2. Tell her she’s beautiful on regular days.
Your girlfriend probably expects to be showered with praise when she’s all made up and dressed up, so reserve praises for when she’s looking like her normal self, too. For example, if you come over late at night when she’s in her pajamas, tell her how beautiful she looks.
1-3. Note positive aspects of her personality.
Although your girlfriend will appreciate compliments about her appearance, the best compliments point to someone’s positive traits. This shows her that she is so much more to you than just her looks. Talk about things besides her beauty, such as her personality, her intelligence, or her kindness.
You might say, “You know that was really admirable how you helped your friend back there,” or “I can’t believe how giving you are. That’s one of the things I love most about you.”
Give her compliments that uniquely describe her. "You're funny" is a generic compliment that is easy to shrug off. "Your sci-fi satires are hilarious" is much more specific, and is harder to discount.
1-4. Be aware of her vulnerabilities.
We all have vulnerabilities in life. But those who have low to little self-esteem usually have a higher level of vulnerability and need extra support. As a partner to your girlfriend, much of that support will come from you in the form of empowerment, empathy, compassion, and love. Avoid the urge to judge her thoughts and actions and give her a strong sense of security, as you’re the one she will mainly lean on.
Be attuned to her vulnerabilities, but also try to guide her into understanding that she is in control and responsible for her own thoughts, actions, and insecurities. Even with your support, love, and stability, only she can choose to change her thoughts in a more positive way.
Try to learn how much love and guided support to offer, how to help when her insecurities crop up, and how to assist her in resolving underlying issues.
1-5. Make your compliments genuine and realistic.
Complimenting your girlfriend can make her feel better about herself, and make you feel positive, too. Just make sure you stick to sincere and reasonable compliments. Exaggerating or lying about a feature that you don’t actually like may worsen the problem.
The key to a genuine compliment is looking for something good in her and sharing it freely without expectation of getting anything back. For example, you might say, “Your smile is beautiful” or “That outfit looks great on you.”
It can also help to not focus too much on her appearance. Tell her she did a great job calming down an irate toddler, or she gave a really awesome answer in today's history class.
2. Reassuring Her of Your Love
2-1. Make her feel loved.
This can be done by giving her little gifts you find when you’re out and about. You might also give her flowers, text or call her randomly during the day, make her food, take photos to say "This reminded me of you," or plan a special date.
Take into account her interests and favorite things. Some girls think that the perfect surprise date is a walk on the beach, others prefer a hike through the woods, and some would rather sit in front of the TV with popcorn and a warm blanket. Figure out what she likes and do it for her.
2-2. Be yourself around her.
As simple as it seems, showing her that you're comfortable around her demonstrates trust and respect. It encourages her to be herself around you, too.
Don’t pretend like you’re perfect. If you snort when you laugh, or have weird eating habits, expose them. That way she’ll feel less pressure to be perfect as well.
2-3. Take part in her interests.
Engaging in her interests helps her know that you care about her, and also care about the things that matter to her. You don’t have to lose yourself trying to show you’re interested in her pastimes. Taking part in just one of her hobbies or interests is enough to show you care.
For example, if she's in robotics club, ask to come see the robot she's working on sometime.
You might also show interest in her friends, like asking about one friend who was sick or one whose parents are going through a divorce.
2-4. Ask her how you can help.
Some partners take it upon themselves to try to “fix” whatever problems their partner is dealing with. Truth is, your girlfriend may not always need you to solve a problem. She may just want you to be there for her. Learning to do this will strengthen your relationship and help her feel more loved by you.
Depending on the situation, she may want advice, help fixing the problem, or just someone to listen to her. Ask how you can help by saying, “Is there anything I can do?” Then, really listen to her answer.
If she doesn’t need your help and simply wants validation, respond with empathy, like “I'm really sorry to hear that." "So, you're worried about your brother, huh?" or "That stinks."
2-5. Avoid eyeing other girls.
The worst thing you can do in a relationship is make your girlfriend feel like she has to compete with other girls for your attention. She should feel like she’s the apple of your eye, which means showing her respect and not ogling at other girls or engaging in excessive flirting.
Doing this can only make a girl with low self-esteem even more insecure. When you’re around other girls, be sure you include her in the conversation and make it obvious who you’re with. Never leave her feeling like she has to compete.
2-6. Be patient.
Even with all your love and reassurance, your girlfriend may still suffer from low self-esteem. This isn’t a problem that can be resolved overnight. In the long run, you’ll see that only she is responsible for improving her self-esteem. All you can truly do is try to love her through the process.
3. Helping Her Body Image
3-1. Listen with empathy.
Being empathetic means being able to listen to someone and identify with their feelings, while being aware that their feelings are distinct and separate from your own. Approaching your girlfriend with empathy will make her feel less alone and that she can count on you as a source of stability in times of distress. Try to practice the following empathetic skills:
Show her respect and acceptance regardless of what she feels and experiences. Her thoughts, feelings, and emotions are real and true to her.
Be nonjudgmental, supportive, and a tender guide to self-empowerment.
Use kind words of encouragement, but also try to gently guide her towards improved self-esteem.
Speak less and listen more.
When you guide her towards improved self-esteem, make sure that she also understands the decision to change relies solely upon her.
Always be a source of stability and support that she can rely on in time of need.
3-2. Treat other girls with respect and don't trash-talk them.
Being judgmental towards other girls will tell her that judgmental remarks are okay and normal for her to experience, both from other people and from herself. Mind how you describe other girls, and avoid comparing her to them.
If you respond judgmentally to other girls (e.g. "girls who plaster their faces in makeup are so fake"), then you'll just be increasing the insecurity of your girlfriend.
3-3. Steer clear of negative body comments.
If you’re prone to body complaints yourself, you won’t be helping your girlfriend develop a positive body image. Avoid body-shaming comments about yourself and others.
For example, don’t say, “I look so scrawny. I need to get in the gym.” Saying something like this only brings the focus to things you don’t like about your body. It also reinforces negative body comments.
3-4. Recommend body-nourishing self-care practices.
Negative self-criticisms and insecurities can grow in the mind when a person is low on self-care. If your girlfriend is feeling down on herself, inspire her to pour love and compassion back into herself. Encourage her to develop a self-care practice that makes her feel good about the body she has.
Suggest that she visit the spa for a massage, sign up for a yoga class, or start journaling about her feelings. You might also spend an evening cooking a healthy meal together.
3-5. Challenge her insecurities.
Your girlfriend may not be aware of her harsh self-criticisms. By calling her out on them and challenging them, you can help her realize that she isn't being fair to herself. This can also teach her how to reframe negative thought patterns. Become a kind and gentle voice that defends her from her self-hatred.
Contradict her when she says something negative about herself. For example, if she says "Nobody wants to see this in a bikini," then you can reply, "Really? I would."
Does she think something is a flaw? Challenge that perspective. Tell her that you love her freckles, her gap teeth, her strong opinions, or the way she snorts when she giggles. Explain that because it's part of her, you think it's adorable.
Notice dangerous questions. For example, if she asks, "Do you think I'm fat?" then cut to the heart of the problem. Tell her that she's beautiful, and ask why she's asking.
3-6. Share encouraging media.
Girls are exposed to a lot of negative media that makes them second-guess their appearances and their bodies. Shun unrealistic images of bodies in magazines and on TV. Use a critical voice about how “real” these images are. Instead, share media with her that uplifts all bodies, no matter the shape or size.
You might share a board on Pinterest, a page on Instagram, or a blog that feature body-positive women with your girlfriend.
3-7. Set a good example.
You can help your girlfriend treat herself well by taking good care of yourself. Practicing healthy habits will help you feel good and have the energy to be a good boyfriend. Try to maintain a balanced life, with plenty of sleep, exercise, nutritious meals and time spent on hobbies and other things you like.
When you spend time doing positive activities, you will inspire your girlfriend to do the same.
3-8. Suggest she talk to a counselor.
Low self-esteem and a poor body image can take a toll on your girlfriend’s well-being. It can even bring down the vitality of your relationship. If, no matter how hard you try, she can’t overcome insecurities, you may need to seek professional help.
A mental health therapist or counselor can determine the root cause of your girlfriend’s low self-esteem and work with her to build a healthier outlook.

Recommend body-nourishing self-care practices.\\nNegative self-criticisms and insecurities can grow in the mind when a person is low on self-care. If your girlfriend is feeling down on herself, inspire her to pour love and compassion back into herself. Encourage her to develop a self-care practice that makes her feel good about the body she has.\\nSuggest that she visit the spa for a massage, sign up for a yoga class, or start journaling about her feelings. You might also spend an evening cooking a healthy meal together.\\n3-5. Challenge her insecurities.\\nYour girlfriend may not be aware of her harsh self-criticisms. By calling her out on them and challenging them, you can help her realize that she isn't being fair to herself. This can also teach her how to reframe negative thought patterns. Become a kind and gentle voice that defends her from her self-hatred.\\nContradict her when she says something negative about herself. For example, if she says \\\"Nobody wants to see this in a bikini,\\\" then you can reply, \\\"Really? I would.\\\"\\nDoes she think something is a flaw? Challenge that perspective. Tell her that you love her freckles, her gap teeth, her strong opinions, or the way she snorts when she giggles. Explain that because it's part of her, you think it's adorable.\\nNotice dangerous questions. For example, if she asks, \\\"Do you think I'm fat?\\\" then cut to the heart of the problem. Tell her that she's beautiful, and ask why she's asking.\\n3-6. Share encouraging media.\\nGirls are exposed to a lot of negative media that makes them second-guess their appearances and their bodies. Shun unrealistic images of bodies in magazines and on TV. Use a critical voice about how “real” these images are. Instead, share media with her that uplifts all bodies, no matter the shape or size.\\nYou might share a board on Pinterest, a page on Instagram, or a blog that feature body-positive women with your girlfriend.\\n3-7. Set a good example.\\nYou can help your girlfriend treat herself well by taking good care of yourself. Practicing healthy habits will help you feel good and have the energy to be a good boyfriend. Try to maintain a balanced life, with plenty of sleep, exercise, nutritious meals and time spent on hobbies and other things you like.\\nWhen you spend time doing positive activities, you will inspire your girlfriend to do the same.\\n3-8. Suggest she talk to a counselor.\\nLow self-esteem and a poor body image can take a toll on your girlfriend’s well-being. It can even bring down the vitality of your relationship. If, no matter how hard you try, she can’t overcome insecurities, you may need to seek professional help.\\nA mental health therapist or counselor can determine the root cause of your girlfriend’s low self-esteem and work with her to build a healthier outlook.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Girls today are constantly bombarded with messages about how to look and act.

How to Boost Your IQ Test Score
|
1. Enhancing Your Mind’s Performance
1-1. Study every day.
Set aside 20-30 minutes every day for test-specific studying. This could be taking a practice test, working on your basic math skills, or playing a brain game. The goal is to be consistent over time. You want your mind to anticipate being challenged in unpredictable ways.
By practicing every day you will keep your brain engaged and avoid ‘losing’ knowledge due to extended breaks. For example, students enrolled in summer learning programs generally maintain or increase their IQ levels. In contrast, students who do not study over the summer holiday often experience an IQ drop by the time that they return in the fall.
It is important to stop studying for the day when you begin to feel fatigued or mentally foggy. So, the time limit is a bit flexible (especially if you are taking an extended practice test), but 20-30 minutes of concentrated studying often yields the best results as it forces you to focus for a limited amount of time. It also helps you to resist the urge to ‘cram’ in the final days before your test.
1-2. Take practice tests.
It is best if you can use old versions or current practice tests of the exam that you would like to take. Find these by approaching the company that runs the exam or by searching the exam name online. You can also look for a generic free IQ test online.
Take as many different tests as you can. The more puzzles you solve, the sharper your problem-solving skills will be.
Some IQ test booklets also contain whole or partial exams. Go to your local bookstore and flip through a couple of books before making a purchase to ensure the content is worth the cost. If buying online, use the preview function to look inside the text.
Be aware that some groups, such as American Mensa, refuse to release their past tests, citing copyright restrictions. As a result, practice tests that fall into these categories may be more difficult to locate.
1-3. Play games.
Keep your mind flexible by engaging in a variety of mental games. Pick those games that challenge your memory and require speed, such as Dual-N-Back. This is a game that pushes a player to recall a geometric sequence. It is available online for free practice by searching “Dual-N-Back.”
Playing these games can count as your mind practice. Just don’t overdo it by going beyond 20-30 minutes each day.
Be wary when playing generic brain training games. If you play them frequently enough you will improve your gameplay but not your overall cognitive abilities. Your best bet is to move on once any game gets easy.
1-4. Read.
Sitting down with a book as often as you can is a cheap, quick way to stimulate your brain. Recalling the sequence of events helps with memory retention. The act of reading itself is relaxing and can improve focus. For maximum benefit, jump between different genres and authors to keep your brain challenged.
Most IQ tests are written and contain a significant verbal component so reading is a natural form of preparation. As you read make sure to look up any terms that are unfamiliar to you. Also, work on comprehension by re-reading any passage that is unclear to you.
1-5. Learn something new.
Actively seek out “novelty” or challenging mental tasks, such as mastering a new language. Performing these “new” tasks often prompts your body to increase dopamine levels which in turn leads to the production of new neurons, a necessary step in long-term learning and retention.
Music lessons are one way to reap an IQ benefit over time. The mental challenges and novelty of even consistent lessons push the brain to adapt and result in climbing IQ numbers.
1-6. Put aside your technology.
On occasion, lock up your cell phones and other devices and go through the world relying on your wits and skills alone. This may mean writing out a math problem instead of looking up the answer. All of these added tasks stimulate your brain in a positive way.
One example of this is trying to navigate your route to somewhere by using a paper map instead of a GPS. If you can do this without compromising your safety, try it.
1-7. Stay away from the TV.
We’ve known for quite some time that watching television holds little to no cognitive benefits. So, it should come as no surprise to you that TV time does nothing for your IQ. Limit yourself to 30 minutes a day and use the remaining “TV time” to do something new, challenging, and active instead.
When you do watch TV, try to steer yourself towards educational programming. It is not active learning, but it is still something.
2. Enhancing Your Body’s Performance
2-1. Get a good night’s sleep.
Aim for 8 hours of solid, uninterrupted sleep every night. This will allow your body to head into a deep sleep cycle and replenish. Your brain gets to rest after a hard day of work. Keep this pattern up heading into a test and make sure to sleep in the days immediately before.
2-2. Eat well.
Consume a well-balanced diet of fruit, veggies, grains, and meat. Eat regular meals and snacks. Try to avoid processed and sugary foods. Keeping a close eye on your diet gives your brain the fuel that it needs to perform at a top level. Pay attention to those foods that make you feel mentally sharper, such as walnuts.
Diets that are high in fats and sugars can lower mental reaction times, reduce memory retention, and prompt feelings of depression. All of these outcomes are problematic in many ways, including damaging your IQ potential.
Herbal supplements may also prove helpful. Ginseng and sage are both potential memory boosters.
2-3. Exercise.
Engage in cardiovascular exercise at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes each session. This will help to increase the blood supply headed to your brain which in turn elevates the oxygen level as well. Exercise creates a better physical environment for your brain to do difficult work.
There is currently some talk about creating a series of “exergames” that combine physical activity with brain training.
2-4. Relax your mind and body.
As you take the test, concentrate on making deep, slow inhalations of breath. Mentally repeat the mantra “calm down” if you get stressed by a particularly difficult question. Put your arms over your head and do a slow stretch. Practice in the days and weeks before to figure out exactly which methods calm you down the best.
2-5. Wear comfortable clothing.
Nothing will distract you more than fiddling with your clothing or jewelry mid-test. Wear simple, basic clothing without any embellishments that you can play with. Choose something that you will comfortable sitting in for a long time. Don’t worry about what anyone thinks, you are there for the test.
If you can find out the general temperature of the room beforehand that may be helpful. Some test centers keep rooms extra-cold to prevent drowsiness meaning sweats may be a good idea for you.
3. Taking the Test
3-1. Get information about the test proctoring.
If you are taking a proctored IQ test, find out all of the details well in advance by contacting the testing center or the test program officers. Ask if there is any paperwork that you’ll need to bring with you. Find out what items you are allowed to bring in to the testing room.
Many IQ tests are simply done online now, eliminating at least some of these worries. However, IQ groups such as Mensa will only accept scores created under a specific testing process.
3-2. Find out about any time constraints.
Some IQ tests give you one hour to finish the questions while others operate without a time limit. Find out in advance how long you’ll have for the test then divide this by the number of questions asked. This will give you a rough idea of how much time you can spend on each question.
3-3. Know what the test covers.
All IQ tests are a bit different but they usually cover the same basics. Look for questions about spatial reasoning, verbal knowledge, and quantitative understanding. Memory and retention questions are spread throughout. “Emotional intelligence” and creativity are generally not measured, creating a disadvantage for certain out-of-the-box thinkers.
It is a good idea to practice your basic math and vocabulary skills headed into any IQ test as these types of questions are ever-present.
3-4. Learn how the test is scored.
Before taking the test, try to set a score goal for yourself. The raw score for most tests is the result of the number of correct answers. Some tests also factor in your age as well. Your raw score is then converted into your IQ by comparing it to the scores of other test-takers. You will also see a percentile ranking showing how your IQ stacks up against others.
3-5. Eliminate wrong choices.
As you proceed through the test, increase your odds of choosing the correct answer by instantly identifying and disregarding those options that are incorrect. Each time you do this you make your final choice a bit easier and more precise.
For example, on a question with answers A through D, try to scratch out the least likely option before making your final choice.
3-6. Search for patterns.
This is especially helpful when dealing with visual or listing questions. Recognize that you are being tested on your ability to perceive order amongst the chaos. If you see a question that at first appears totally disorganized it is your job to look for a potential organization that works. Think about it that way and the questions are not so intimidating.
Treat every question like a puzzle. Think about what information you know, then figure out what you need to know to get to the answer. Then, start connecting the pieces.
Working backwards can also sometimes be a way to find an answer.
3-7. Visualize rotating the images.
Spatial aptitude segments of an IQ test will often show a series of geometric or odd shapes sometimes with additional symbols placed therein. When you see a question like this remember that your point of view is not fixed. You can rotate the image in your mind or simply turn the paper until a pattern or solution emerges.
3-8. Focus completely on the test.
It goes without saying but while you are taking the test remove all outside distractions. Turn off and put away your cell phone. Arrange it so that you are not disturbed. Paying attention to a task beyond the test, even briefly, could lower your IQ score by 10 points or more.
Tips
IQ scores fall on a range between 70 to over 200. Most of the population carries a score of between 80 to 120. As you go up the scale you are in the company of fewer people.[26]

Remember that getting a high score on an IQ test does not guarantee success in life. The opposite is true as well. You can get a lower or average score and still achieve great things and be happy in life.[27]

Warnings
Beware of online programs or classes that promise to aggressively increase your IQ score. Enhancing your score takes a great deal of time and effort and, unless you just had one really bad test day, it usually doesn’t change overnight.

You want your mind to anticipate being challenged in unpredictable ways.\\nBy practicing every day you will keep your brain engaged and avoid ‘losing’ knowledge due to extended breaks. For example, students enrolled in summer learning programs generally maintain or increase their IQ levels. In contrast, students who do not study over the summer holiday often experience an IQ drop by the time that they return in the fall.\\nIt is important to stop studying for the day when you begin to feel fatigued or mentally foggy. So, the time limit is a bit flexible (especially if you are taking an extended practice test), but 20-30 minutes of concentrated studying often yields the best results as it forces you to focus for a limited amount of time.

How to Boost Your Immune System During Chemo
|
1. Maintaining a Healthy Diet
1-1. Visit with a registered dietitian for recommendations.
When your immune system is compromised, you need to pay special attention to your diet. While no one food can improve your immune system, you need to give it the nutrients it needs, and a dietitian can help you figure that out.
Ask your oncologist to refer to you to a dietitian.
1-2. Eat good quality protein to build white blood cells.
Chemo often lowers your white blood cell count, which is essential to your immune system. To rebuild those cells, your body needs amino acids, which are found in proteins.
Good sources of protein include chicken, beef, lamb, fish, beans, dairy, and nut butters.
Sometimes, chemo can make meat taste funny to you. If that's the case, try other sources of protein, such as beans, lentils, eggs, cottage cheese, nuts, nut butters, seeds, quinoa, tofu, yogurt, and milkshakes. Beans are also rich in folate, which can also help your immune system.
Alternatively, try eating meat in flavored sauces like spaghetti sauce, stews, or casseroles, or add sauces on top to improve the flavor.
1-3. Include a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet.
Your immune system needs a range of vitamins to continue doing its work. Eating a wide range of fruits and veggies ensures your body gets the vitamins it needs.
Make sure you wash your fruits and veggies thoroughly so you don't consume as much bacteria. Scrub them with a clean vegetable brush under running water, including the ones you're going to peel.
Sometimes, chemo can make your food taste bland. Try adding sauces like teriyaki sauce, barbecue sauce, or ranch to increase the flavor. You can also use spices and seasonings to increase the flavor. Herbs like oregano, cinnamon, turmeric, and licorice root can help boost your immune system as well.
If you are having issues eating raw fruits or veggies because of things like mouth sores, choose other options. Try unsweetened applesauce, for instance, or canned veggies.
If you don't enjoy vegetables, try hiding them in other things, like fruit smoothies, carrot cake, zucchini bread, or sweet potato brownies. Alternatively, sneak them into casseroles, such as adding carrots and peas to shepherd's pie. Keep in mind that even foods like spaghetti sauce have a decent serving of vegetables.
1-4. Eat nuts and seeds for a boost of vitamin E.
Peanuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, and almonds are all a great source of vitamin E. Make sure you're eating a small handful of these every day to help boost your immune system.
If you have a nut allergy, try broccoli or spinach instead.
2. Making Lifestyle Changes
2-1. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep a night to keep your immune system on track.
Getting enough sleep while you're on chemotherapy is easier said than done. However, not doing so can make it harder for your immune system to do its job. In fact, sleep deprivation may suppress the immune system.
Skip naps during the day, which can make you less sleepy at night. If you feel tired, get up and do chores or move around to avoid the urge to nap. Also, exercise when you can to improve your sleep. Exercise 5-6 hours before you want to sleep, as exercising too close to bedtime can keep you up.
Keep a standard sleeping schedule. Your body grows accustomed to a schedule, and it will anticipate sleep if you go to bed at the same time every night. If you have trouble remembering to go to bed, try setting an alarm an hour before you need to head to bed.
Start a bedtime ritual that you repeat every night to remind your body it’s time to go to bed. For example, wash your face, brush your teeth, and tidy up before going to bed each night.
Turn off electronics when your bedtime alarm goes off, as using them to close to bed can affect your sleep cycle. Block out noise and light in your bedroom for a better sleeping environment.
Keep your bedroom dark and quiet by keeping electronics elsewhere in your home.
Don’t go to bed too hungry or too full.
If the chemotherapy is giving you insomnia, ask your doctor if a sleeping aid is a good idea.
2-2. Exercise 30 minutes most days of the week when you can.
Exercise helps you maintain a healthy immune system. Of course, chemotherapy can make you not want to exercise, but even a little bit can be beneficial and boost your energy.
Always talk to your doctor before starting an exercise regimen, particularly when you're undergoing a treatment like chemotherapy. They can advise you on how much you can do. Your doctor may even recommend a physical therapist.
Stick to low-intensity exercises, and rest when you need to.
For instance, try fitting in a few short walks throughout the day up and down your road.
Ask your doctor to see if swimming is a viable option. If it is, make sure to dry yourself thoroughly afterward so you don’t catch a cold.
2-3. Practice stress-reducing activities to keep your immune system healthy.
Stress can lessen your immune system's ability to do its job. Of course, trying to juggle being on chemotherapy along with other aspects of your life can be very stressful. However, practicing yoga, meditating, and getting massages can help with your stress levels.
Try joining a support group for cancer patients, so you don't feel so alone in your journey. Also, lean on your friends and family to provide support during this stressful time.
Try doing aromatherapy to help calm down and make your immune system stronger.
As much as you can, keep doing things you enjoy, such as reading a good book, watching movies, or crocheting.
3. Discussing Medical Interventions
3-1. Talk to your doctor about CSFs to increase your white blood cell counts.
Chemotherapy can destroy white blood cells, which are essential to your immune system. Colony-stimulating Factors (CSFs) can increase the production of white blood cells in your body. However, they can cause fatigue and achiness, and they tend to be expensive.
These drugs can cost up to $4,000 USD a shot. Typically, the doctor gives you a shot a day after you've had chemotherapy.
The main CSFs are Neupogen (filgrastim), Neulasta (pegfilgrastim), and Leukine and Prokine (sargramostim).
Your doctor will usually only prescribe these if you are older or had a compromised immune system before the chemo.
3-2. Ask about taking a multivitamin with B12 and folate.
While getting vitamins from your diet is always best, that may be more difficult when you're undergoing chemo, as it can decrease your appetite. If that's the case, you may want to supplement your diet with a multivitamin.
Look for one with B12 and folate, as your body needs those to rebuild white blood cells.
Always talk to your doctor before starting a supplement, particularly when you're undergoing a treatment like chemo. They can advise you on dosages, as well.
3-3. Discuss whether delaying treatment is appropriate.
If your white blood cells are particularly low, it may be appropriate to delay treatment until your immune system can recover. However, your doctor will usually only recommend this in severe cases.
4. Avoiding Germs and Infection
4-1. Ask everyone in the house to wash their hands often.
You and other household members should wash your hands before eating, for instance, as well as after touching pets in the house. You should also make sure everyone washes their hands after using the bathroom.
Using soap and water, scrub for 20 seconds before rinsing, making sure to get in between your fingers and under your nails. Try singing the happy birthday song while washing, which is about 20 seconds.
Keep hand sanitizer in a purse or care for when soap and water are not available.
4-2. Avoid sharing cups, utensils, and plates with other people.
Basically, you should avoid sharing items that have touched other people's mouths. They can pass bacteria to you, which will enter your body through your mouth.
Wash these items in hot, soapy water between uses. Using a dishwasher with a disinfecting cycle is even better.
4-3. Skip crowds as much as possible.
The more you're around people, the more likely a virus or bacterial infection will be passed to you. If you want to go out to eat, for instance, go earlier in the day so there won't be as many people there. Avoid activities like concerts, school assemblies, flying, and movies when you can.
When you are out in a crowded area, avoid touching surfaces as much as possible, and don't touch your face until you can wash your hands.
Use the wipes provided by grocery stores to wipe off cart handles before you use them. If possible, ask someone else to help you out with grocery shopping.
4-4. Avoid nicks, cuts, and other injuries when possible.
Of course, you can't avoid cuts all the time. However, you can avoid activities that put you at risk, such as cutting vegetables and using a standard razor. Opt for an electric razor, instead, for instance.
When brushing your teeth, brush very gently so you don't make your gums bleed. Your doctor may even ask you not to floss or want you to use a water pick instead. Similarly, blow your nose gently to avoid an open wound.
4-5. Cook meat and eggs thoroughly to avoid contamination.
Cook meat until it's not pink in the center, and check it with a meat thermometer. Stick the thermometer into the center of the meat to check the temperature. Also, heat eggs until they are solid and not runny.
Aim for an internal temperature of 160 °F (71 °C) for most meat and 180 °F (82 °C) for poultry.
4-6. Avoid foods from the grocery store that are likely to have extra bacteria.
For instance, avoid deli-cut foods, dented cans, and bulk-bin items, which are more likely to have bacteria. Pick the freshest fruits and vegetables you can find, and choose packaged items that have the farthest expiration date.
Also, don't eat soft-serve ice cream from a machine or free samples around the store.
Warnings
Before making any changes to your diet or exercise plan, always ask your doctor. They can advise you on which options are best for you while you're on chemotherapy.

How to Boost Your Karma
|
1. Steps
1-1. Smile.
Smiling makes people feel good about themselves and makes your workplace, school or home a more positive environment.
1-2. Help in little ways.
Like, for example, holding the door open for someone behind you or picking up a dropped pencil.
1-3. Do the right thing even when no one is looking.
They may not know, but karma always knows.
1-4. Donate to charity tins.
You know, those tins at the cashier that donate to the children's hospital and such? Think of all the good that money does. If everyone donated their spare change to charity tins, the world would be a better place.
1-5. Take time to talk to different generations.
Older and younger people know lots of cool stuff you probably don't, and you'll make them feel good too.
1-6. Recycle.
You've seen that commercial. You can take them into most stores and they'll give you 5 cents a pop can. You can even give that money to a charity tin! Two good deeds in one day. Doesn't that make you feel better?
1-7. Listen.
When people talk about their problems, it makes them feel better. Don't offer advice. Don't give opinions. Just listen.
1-8. Little things help a lot.
If you simply say hello to that shy girl at the back of the class, if you are kind to those you aren't a huge fan of, if you let someone use some of your lunch money and not ask the next day for the money you lent, if you're at the store and see a $0.50 pin your friend would like and buy it: These are the things that help make you a good person. Not only will you get karma points, but you will have a better reputation.
1-9. Give compliments.
It's like smiling with your voice. It makes people feel better and more confident. But don't just compliment - be thoughtful in finding something you truly appreciate or adore, and mean what you say.
1-10. Relax.
Stress and tension can lead to illness - it's a proven fact. Relax, and acknowledge why your life is wonderful.
1-11. Love.
Love life, love friends, love family, love yourself. Love makes the world go 'round.
1-12. Wisdom.
Search for Wisdom. Through wisdom you make better decisions. Great decisions lead to great outcomes and thus an awesome life.
Tips
Don't give up. A lot of people who read this give up. Well don't, good karma is alive. You just have to believe.
Humor, nine times out of ten times humor makes people laugh, which improves the quality of your relationships and that's good karma, too.
Start a regular routine of goodness, such as bringing some food to work for everyone to enjoy.

How to Boost Your Metabolism at Breakfast
|
1. Eating a Balanced Breakfast as Soon as You Wake
1-1. Eat breakfast within one hour of waking.
You have probably heard the famous saying that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” and it’s true! That is because when you wake up, you likely haven’t eaten for 8 to 10 hours. Your blood sugar is low, and so are your energy levels. You need to “break” the “fast” within one hour of waking up. A healthy breakfast will jump start your metabolism and your day, but waiting too long to eat can actually slow you down.
1-2. Avoid simple carbohydrates.
Typical breakfast choices (such as a bagel with cream cheese or toast with jam) can give you some quick energy, but they will spike your blood sugar and leave you to crash. This can lead to insulin resistance, plus it will leave you feeling hungry again soon. Stay away from white bread and sweets in the morning.
You'll want to stay away from donuts, waffles, pancakes, and white toast. Opt for 100% whole wheat toast instead.
Watch out for added sugar in oatmeal or breakfast cereals.
Refrain from adding sugar (or sweetened creamer) to your coffee.
1-3. Aim for a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fat.
Instead, you need to eat a balanced breakfast that includes complex carbohydrates, protein, and fat at the same time. This nourishes you, and gets your metabolism rolling.
Good sources of protein include eggs, plain Greek yogurt, beans, chicken, or fish.
Your carbohydrates should come from fruits, veggies, and whole grains.
Good sources of healthy fats include avocados, eggs, coconut oil, nuts, and seeds.
A veggie omelet (especially one cooked in coconut oil) is a great example of a balanced breakfast with carbs, protein, and healthy fats.
1-4. Consume complex carbs.
Instead of simple carbohydrates, you want to start your day with complex carbs. The best carbohydrates to boost your metabolism should come from whole grains and vegetables. These complex carbohydrates will keep you full longer and give you sustained energy throughout your day.
Try having steel-cut oatmeal or brown rice porridge, with a side of carrots dipped in natural peanut butter.
1-5. Include some protein.
Your metabolism works the best when it is fueled by protein and complex carbohydrates simultaneously. Be sure to include some lean protein in your breakfast! Include a side of turkey sausage or add some Greek yogurt to your oats. Eggs are an excellent source of protein too!
1-6. Eat healthy fats.
To really get your metabolism started in the morning, you must also include a serving of healthy fats. This can be as simple as adding a teaspoon of coconut oil to your brown rice porridge, cooking your omelet in clarified butter, or enjoying a spoonful of peanut butter. Add some healthy fat to your meal to rev your metabolism and feel full.
However, keep in mind that there may already be fat in your breakfast from things like yogurt, milk, and breakfast sausage.
1-7. Fill up your plate.
Not only does breakfast help jump start your metabolism and help give you energy all day, but the heartier your breakfast is, the better! A recent study shows that getting 22 to 55% of your total calories at breakfast may help you stay slim, whereas getting 0 to 11% of your calories from breakfast may lead to weight gain. So fill up your plate and get full at breakfast.
2. Making Healthy Choices
2-1. Eat unprocessed food.
Food in its most natural form--such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables--take a bit of work to digest. This is a good thing! This fuels your metabolism, burns calories, and keeps you fuller longer. If you’re not used to consuming whole, unprocessed foods, this may take a bit of planning.
Choose steel-cut oats, or even whole rolled oats, over instant.
Try other whole grains, such as quinoa, for breakfast.
Include lots of fresh vegetables.
Include some fruit.
2-2. Prepare your breakfast the night before.
If you are busy in the morning, it may help you to prepare breakfast for yourself the night before. One great option is to cook steel-cut oats in a slow cooker. When you wake up, you can just grab breakfast and go.
Add 1 cup of steel-cut oats, 1 peeled and chopped apple, ½ cup raisins, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 1 tsp. cinnamon, and 3 ½ cups water (or unsweetened almond milk) to your slow cooker.
Close the lid and cook on low for 7+ hours.
Wake up to a delicious aroma and a fresh, hot breakfast!
2-3. Opt for a smoothie.
If you don’t feel very hungry in the morning, making a smoothie might be a great way to get your nutrients and kick start your metabolism. This is also a great choice for breakfast on the go. You can throw the ingredients in your blender the night before. Then just wake up, blend, and hit the road.
Use 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk or coconut water as your base (or ½ cup of each).
Add ½ banana, 5 frozen strawberries, and 1/3 cup frozen kale or spinach.
Add a scoop of protein powder of your choice (follow serving directions on packaging; look for something low in sugar).
Add 1/2 Tbs. of almond butter.
Add 1 tsp. of flax seed and 1 tsp. of chia seeds.
Blend until smooth and enjoy!
This smoothie contains fruit, veggies, healthy fats, protein, and fiber.
3. Selecting the Right Beverages
3-1. Start with water.
As soon as you rise, begin your day with 8-16 ounces of water. This hydrates your body and helps to get your digestive juices flowing. Then, continue sipping throughout your day. If you are dehydrated, you may be burning up to 2% fewer calories than you should.
Try to drink 50% of your body weight in ounces (200 lbs.= 100 ounces).
3-2. Drink coffee.
Caffeine is a stimulant to your central nervous system, and as such, helps to speed up your metabolism. Consuming coffee in the morning can boost your metabolism 8-12%, meaning you’ll burn 98-174 extra calories per day.
Beware of adding things to your coffee. Additions like creamer, half and half, or sugar can be high in simple carbohydrates, calories, and preservatives.
Try taking your coffee and tea black.
3-3. Drink some milk.
Calcium deficiency can slow your metabolism. Be sure you are getting enough calcium each day by including a glass of milk with your breakfast.
You can also get calcium from other dairy products (like yogurt and cheese), or from green vegetables (like spinach, bok choy, and green beans).

1-4. Click the Device Manager.
This will prompt the Device Manager window to open.
1-5. Go to Display Adapters.
Expand the category by clicking the arrow to the left of it once. This will display the make and model of your graphics card.
In most machines you will see both Intel and NVIDIA hardware. Occasionally you will instead find AMD hardware. If you want to improve your gaming performance, you need to update the drivers on your graphics card.
1-6. Find new drivers.
Now that you know the make and model of your graphics card, you can go to the manufacturer's website and see the updated versions available.
2. Uninstall Old Programs
2-1. Uninstall old programs.
The more programs you have on your computer, the slower it will run. By deleting unnecessary programs, you can easily improve the efficiency of your device.
2-2. Open the Control Panel on your PC.
Navigate to the "Uninstall Programs section. In windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10, these settings are all in different places. You may have to search for the option if you don't see it immediately.
2-3. Click on the organization tab and switch it to "Date Last Used".
This will allow you to filter through your programs and find the ones you have not used in a while.
2-4. Uninstall unused programs.
When you find a program that you no longer want, click Uninstall. (Be careful, if you don't know what something is, look it up first, often times some applications are necessary to run games.)
3. Overclocking the GPU
3-1. IMPORTANT, before doing this, make sure your GPU "can" be overclocked, as many are factory locked.
If not, skip to the next section.
3-2. Overclocking your GPU is running the graphics card beyond the factory setting.
This is a potentially damaging method to improve your gaming performance and therefore all precautions should be taken into account. To do this, you should determine the baseline from which your graphics card is currently running.
3-3. Download free benchmarking and analytics software.
One of the more popular options is the Heaven 4.0 benchmark.
3-4. Run the Heaven 4.0 benchmark.
This will prompt the settings menu to appear.
3-5. Set Resolution to System.
You may change some of the other settings if you have the tech know-how, but if you are working with a lower-end card, it is recommended that you refrain from adjusting too much.
3-6. Click Run.
This will prompt Heaven to play through a series of scene that are designed to test the capability of your device's performance. It may glitch but this is normal.
3-7. Click Benchmark.
This can be found in the upper left-hand corner of your screen and it will prompt Heaven to go through 26 scenes to test your GPU's performance abilities.
3-8. Write down your score.
Once the test is complete, a window will appear with your graphics card's score. Write this down so that you can compare it with your score after overclocking it.
3-9. Download a GPU tweaking tool.
You can find these for free online and some popular options are MSI's Afterburner and EVGA'S PrecisionX software.
3-10. Open the software that you have chosen.
3-11. Raise the core clock by 5 to 10 MHz.
Make sure that the clocks entitles Core Clock and Shader Clock are connected.
3-12. Click Apply.
You can check to see if your changes were applied by going to GPU-Z and seeing if it matches.
3-13. Click Save.
You may be prompted to save your settings. Do so and assign a profile.
3-14. Repeat the over clocking process.
One of two things will occur: either Heaven will run without any problems and you may increase your MHz by 5 to 10, or you graphics card will crash. You can tell that your GPU has crashed if you start to see black glitches, blotches, or bright stars on the screen. This means that your overclock has become unstable and you need to either lower you MHz.
You will also want to keep an eye on the temperature of your computer. If it gets too hot, you may risk frying your hardware.
3-15. Set your new frequency.
After you have found the correct frequency for your graphics card, restart your computer. Some overclocking software will prompt you to set the changes you’ve made.
3-16. Play through a game.
To really make sure you’ve found the right frequency, play though a graphics intensive game and see how it runs.
4. Disable Superfetch and Prefetch
4-1. Go to the Start Menu.
4-2. Type "regedit" without the quotation marks into the search box.
4-3. Select the appropriate file path.
This should be “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters.”
4-4. Right-click on EnablePrefetcher as well as EnableSuperfetch.
4-5. Hit Modify.
This will present you with a window with given values.
4-6. Change the given value from 3 to 0.
4-7. Restart your computer.
Prefetch and Superfetch should now be disabled.
5. Defragment or TRIM Your Disk
5-1. Go to the Start Menu.
In the Start Menu, click All Programs, then Accessories, and then go to System Tools.
5-2. Select Disk Defragmenter.
When files are deleted from your disk, they can become fragmented. This can lead to slower performance on your device. By collecting these fragments you can improve your performance speed.
5-3. Select your Windows Disk.
If you have Windows 8, proceed to the next step.
5-4. Select Defragment Disk
If you have an SSD, or solid-state disk, do not defrag your computer. Instead, proceed to the next step.
5-5. Select Optimize.
This will initiate the TRIM command.
5-6. Check to see if TRIM is enabled.
You can do this by opening the command prompt and inputting a simple command.
5-7. Click Start.
Type "cmd" without the quotation marks into the search bar and then select "cmd."
5-8. Click Run as Administrator.
5-9. Wait for a black window, or terminal, to appear.
5-10. Enter the command “Fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify” without the quotation marks.
If TRIM is supported, the response will be “= 0.” If you do not receive this response, enter the command “fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0” without the quotation marks. If you receive the same response, you may need to upgrade your firmware.

Tips
If you decide to upgrade your hardware, you need not upgrade all the parts at once. You can start from upgrading your RAM or Graphic card. Usually, you don't a great CPU for gaming. A dual core i3 or Pentium may suffice.
Check the Minimum Requirements for game you want to play to make sure you can run that game on your PC.
Before buying a new Processor, be sure that your motherboard is compatible with the Processor's socket. For example, you cannot fit a Processor with LGA1150 socket into a motherboard that supports only LGA1155
Warnings
Although overclocking can help you get better frame rates, it also makes your graphic card generate more heat and consume more electricity. Be sure to have the required amount of cooling and electricity on your Power Supplying Unit (PSU) before overclocking.
Overclocking decreases the life span of your graphic card. It may also void your warranty in case of some manufacturers.
Do your research before downloading anything to your computer. Make sure the program is safe before you install and run it.

How to Boost a Man's Ego
|
1. Complimenting Him
1-1. Tell him how good he looks.
Every guy likes hearing that he looks good—even when you’ve been in a relationship for a long time. Even if he’s not confident about his looks, sincerely let him that you are attracted to him. Give him a specific compliment every few days, like how great he looks in a certain shirt.
If he goes to the gym, say “Your workouts have been really been paying off lately. You look irresistible.”
It wouldn’t hurt to tell him that other people would drool over his good looks. That doesn’t mean he would want those people. It would just make him feel good that someone thinks he’s attractive that isn’t intimately involved with him.
1-2. Praise his accomplishments.
Make a big deal out of it when he accomplishes something. It could be a promotion, a finished art project, or something as simple as finishing a household task that took a while for him to complete. Let him know how proud of him you are. You could make him his favorite dinner, give him a gift, or throw him a surprise party. It will make him feel special.
If he has recently been promoted, say “I knew you would get that promotion. I am so proud of you. How do you want to celebrate?”
1-3. Ask for his advice.
Think of something you’ve been struggling with for a while. Perhaps you have had a fight with a friend and aren’t sure how to solve it. Or, it could be something bigger. For instance, maybe you were offered a job but aren’t sure you should take it. Ask him for his advice. Then, compliment his ability to give you helpful and thoughtful advice.
You could ask for advice when it comes to something small, like choosing an outfit. Ask him which dress or outfit he thinks you should wear.
You don’t have to take his advice, but asking for it will make him feel valued.
By showing vulnerability immediately, the other person will feel closer to you.
1-4. Compliment his ability in bed.
Men are often very physical creatures. A physical relationship isn’t everything, but it would boost his ego to know that he is pleasing you. You can tell him that he’s the best you’ve had or could have. Or, tell him specific things you like that he does.
For example, you could tell him that you love how thoughtful he is when it comes to your needs.
1-5. Brag on him to others.
Ideally, you should do this in front of other people while he’s around. You could say something about how he recently got a promotion, or how great he has been with the kids. Knowing that you are proud enough of him to brag will be an instant ego boost.
You could say “He always has been a great partner, but he has been especially great lately. I feel so lucky to have him!”
Even if you brag while he’s not around, it might get back to him. It will make him feel great if a friend tells him that you complimented him when he wasn’t there.
2. Flirting with Him
2-1. Laugh at his jokes.
Making a man feel like he has a great sense of humor is sure to boost his ego. You might have different senses of humor, but don’t resist laughing when he does or says something genuinely funny. Don’t force fake laughter because that may make him feel like you pity him. Also, don’t laugh at him when he falls or does something unintentionally funny.
Say something like “you’re hilarious” when he cracks a joke.
2-2. Look at him from across a crowded room.
Make your man feel like you can’t take your eyes off of him. This works especially well when you’re in a room full of people that could easily get your attention. Don’t stare at him the whole time. This might make him feel like you’re tracking his movements. Instead, smile at him or wink at him a couple of times when you’re separated.
2-3. Show him that you find him attractive.
Outside of complimenting his appearance, show him what qualities he has that you find attractive. Let him know when he’s doing something that turns you on. Tell him that he’s looking too good to resist. Don’t be afraid to show your desire for him.
Before he leaves for the day, say “Wow! You’re looking extra handsome today! But I also said that yesterday because you always look great.”
2-4. Send him a text during the day.
It will make him feel good to know that you can’t stop thinking of him when you’re apart. Don’t bombard him with texts all day because that could get annoying. One or two texts will be enough. You can say something as simple as “thinking of you.” Or, you could tell him how much you want him.
Send him a text that says “Can’t wait until I see you tonight.” Suggest that you’re going to help him relieve the stress of a long day.
You could send a text telling him that you can’t stop thinking about the amazing time you had together last night.
2-5. Initiate intimacy.
Physically show your man that you can’t resist him by being the one that initiates intimacy. It doesn’t necessarily have to be sexual. You could give him extra kisses, hugs, and cuddles. But, it’s also a good idea to seduce him if you feel comfortable with it.
You could take this up a notch by wearing lingerie or indulging in one of his fantasies.
3. Appreciating Your Man
3-1. Tell him when he has done something right.
Don’t let the little things go unnoticed. You don’t have to compliment every little thing, but some praise for the everyday good he does will make him feel great. You could let him know how much you appreciate him changing diapers, doing taxes, or making dinner.
You could say something along the lines of “You’ve been so helpful around the house today. I appreciate it so much.”
You don’t even have to tell him you appreciate these things. You could replace words with a high five or fist bump sometimes.
3-2. Let him know you’re thankful for his dedication to you.
Being loyal in a partnership is expected, but it doesn’t hurt to let your man you appreciate his dedication to you. In a world where betrayal seems common, tell him that he makes you feel lucky. If you have a family together, tell him you appreciate his dedication to your children. Let him know that his dedication makes a big difference in your family’s life.
For example, you could say “I see how much hard work you put in for this family. That hard work does not go unnoticed by anyone.”
3-3. Do something he likes.
Outside of telling him that you appreciate his interests and talents, try to do something with him. It will be a confidence boost for him to know that you want to learn more about what he spends time doing. If he likes to play baseball, ask him to teach you the basics. If he enjoys a certain video game, learn how to play it and then surprise him by playing it with him.
It could also be something as simple as cooking him Italian food for dinner, even if it isn’t your favorite.
3-4. Embrace his flaws.
He may be having a hard time accepting his flaws, which brings his ego down. Pointing out flaws happens sometimes, but try to refrain from it. Instead, tell him you appreciate his flaws, and teach him how to appreciate them as well. Perhaps he can be a little too envious of people sometimes. Sure it’s annoying, but by embracing it, you can work together to fix the problem.
If he’s a little insecure, you could say “I know you feel a little less than confident sometimes, but understand that you don’t need to feel that way. I think you're great. Either way, we can work together to help you overcome that feeling.”
Some flaws shouldn’t be embraced. For example, maybe he’s wildly jealous to the point where you lose friends. This is a flaw that should be pointed out and changed as soon as possible.
3-5. Let the small things go.
Yeah, it’s difficult to let small problems go sometimes. Maybe he keeps leaving his wet towel on the bathroom floor. Or, he dropped the eggs even after you told him to be extra careful with that bag. Things happen. Sure, there are some things that shouldn’t be let go, but try to let the small things go. It will make him feel more confident if every mistake he made isn’t called out.
If certain problems persist, like not cleaning up after himself, it’s okay to gently bring up the problem. Try to avoid nagging.
3-6. Ask him for help.
You are, of course, a capable and independent person, but it often makes a man feel good to know that you need him. It’s not necessary to ask him to ask for help for every little thing, or it could get annoying for him. Instead, occasionally ask for him to help with a problem you’re absolutely sure he would know how to solve.
For example, if his job is fixing computers, ask him to help with your slow computer.
If he’s great at fixing things, ask him to fix a wobbly table.
Tips
Don't fake your compliments and actions. It could make him feel like you pity him if he catches on.
Don't laugh right after you compliment him or say it in a sarcastic tone. That may trigger a negative emotion and will make him insecure.
Warnings
If he reacts negatively to something you do, don’t push it.
Never be patronizing to a man when boosting his ego. Everything you do should be genuine so he doesn’t question your motivation.

How to Boost a Wifi Signal
|
1. Using General Tips
1-1. Know your router's maximum range.
Most commercially available routers can reach between 100 feet (30.5 m) and 150 feet (45.7 m). Your router's packaging and manual should cite a specific number.
If you determine that items well-within your router's maximum range aren't receiving its signal, follow the steps in this method to increase your router's output.
If the items on which you want to receive your router's signal are outside of the maximum range, you'll either need to move them closer or use a range extender.
1-2. Remove obstructions from your router's path.
Physical obstructions such as furniture, cabinet doors, walls, and appliances can all dampen your router's signal. If you want to experience your router's full signal, you'll need to position it so that the signal isn't impeded by physical objects.
Obviously, things like walls and floors can't be moved for your router—you'll just need to move or adjust obstructions where possible.
1-3. Position your router for optimal performance.
While the location of your Internet cable will dictate the general location of your router, there are a few things you can do to make sure that your router's range is emphasized:
Place your router as high as possible in a central location
Keep your router several feet away from the modem if the two are separate
Try to establish a direct line of sight between the router and your main Internet-connected item (e.g., a computer).
1-4. See if you have signal interference.
Since your router uses the same wireless channel (2.4 GHz) as most other wireless items, your router's signal can get diluted or interrupted by wireless items which stand between your router and your Internet-connected item (e.g., a computer). Try to turn off or move any of the following items:
Cordless phones
Microwave ovens
Baby monitors
Security alarms
Television remote controls
Automatic garage door openers
1-5. Make sure your router is using the 2.4 GHz channel.
Many routers are "dual-band", meaning that they support both the common 2.4 GHz channel and the less-common 5 GHz channel. If your router is a dual-band model, make sure that you're connected to the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network for maximum range.
You can connect to the proper Wi-Fi network from inside your computer's or mobile's Wi-Fi menu. The 2.4 GHz channel will usually just display your Wi-Fi network's name, while the 5 GHz channel will have "5 GHz" or "Media" after its name.
While the 5 GHz channel often allows for larger downloads and faster, uninterrupted Internet, its range falls somewhere between half and one-third of the 2.4 GHz channel's range.
1-6. Use an unofficial range extender
While unreliable, you may be able to use an aluminum can to increase your router's range in one direction in a pinch.
1-7. Upgrade your old router
If you have a three- or four-year-old router, its performance will invariably decrease; no amount of rearranging or additional hardware can solve that. Buying a new, up-to-date router may be the best solution in this case.
2. Using a Range Extender
2-1. Buy a Wi-Fi extender.
Wi-Fi range extenders do exactly what their name implies: they take your router's signal and repeat it so that you can connect to the network without moving your router or your Internet-connected item. There are countless models of extender available both in stores and online, so just pick one with high reviews and a comfortable price tag.
You can expect to spend between $35 and $100 on a decent Wi-Fi extender.
Most Wi-Fi extenders will work with multiple router models, but buy one from the same company which made your router if possible.
2-2. Understand that Wi-Fi extenders vary.
While the following instructions comprise the bulk of Wi-Fi extenders' setup processes, you will want to check your Wi-Fi extender's manual for specific instructions on setting up the extender with your router.
2-3. Find a wall outlet near your router.
It's best to set up your range extender while in the same room as your router, so try to find a place to plug in your range extender within 20 feet of your router.
If your extender is wireless, turn it on and then skip this step and the next one.
2-4. Plug in your extender.
Attach your extender to the wall outlet via the extender's plug. If the extender has any lights on it, you should see them turn on.
2-5. Press the WPS button on the extender.
The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button should be on the front or side of the extender, though you may need to check your extender's documentation to find it.
2-6. Find and press the WPS button on the router.
You'll usually find the WPS button on the back or bottom of the router. This will connect your extender to the router.
If your router doesn't have a WPS button, you'll have to follow the Wi-Fi extender's manual's instructions on setting up the extender without WPS.
2-7. Position your Wi-Fi extender unit.
Once your range extender has been connected to your router, find a wall outlet about halfway between your router and the room into which you want to extend your Wi-Fi signal and plug in the extender.
Make sure your range extender isn't near another wireless item (e.g., a microwave).
Your range extender will most likely have to plug into an outlet near the floor, which will limit its range. You can solve this problem by using an extension cable.
Although some modern range extenders don't harm your Internet speed, many will cut your Internet speed by as much as half.
2-8. Connect to your router
Using your computer, smartphone, or tablet, select your router's Wi-Fi network name in the Wi-Fi menu—it should now be available courtesy of the range extender—and enter the password to connect.
Tips
Some Wi-Fi hardware companies produce "mesh" network items, which are essentially networks of two or more miniature wireless routers that you place throughout your home. While expensive, mesh networks provide equal coverage and prevent dead zones.
Older and traditional homes have walls made from wooden studs, while newer construction in office buildings, malls, and condominiums are often constructed with metal studs in the wall. Metal studs can interfere with a router signal quite badly, so consider your building type when diagnosing your signal.
Warnings
Boosting your router's signal without following your country's procedure regarding wireless signals can result in a fee. Check your area's legislature to make sure what you're doing is legal.

How to Boost an Instagram Post on Windows
|
1. How can I advertise on Instagram if I'm using Windows?
1-1. Go to your Facebook Ad Center.
If you see a message that you don't have an ad account, click the "Go to Business Settings" button displayed in the center of your page. Then choose and enter your Ad ID, which you should find listed under your account information.
You can change which account you're accessing from the panel on the left side of the page.
Since Facebook owns Instagram, you can create ads for Instagram by using the Facebook Business Suite. However, for this to work, you'll need your Instagram business account linked to Facebook; but since that's required when you create an Instagram business account, you shouldn't have to do anything.
1-2. Click Create.
This green button is on the left side of the page above the list of ads you've run for the business.
A new window titled "Create A Campaign" will open.
1-3. Make your selection.
You can choose to create a new campaign or you can click the "Use Existing Campaign" tab if you don't want to spend the time setting up a new ad. During different parts of a business's life cycle, you'll want to run different kinds of ads.
You can choose one option across three categories:
includes objectives that generate interest in your product or service. For example, a company supplying fresh produce would use this campaign option to highlight their food to locals.
includes objectives that get people thinking about your business and wanting more information. For example, the company that supplies fresh produce has a website and this campaign would get traffic to that website so they can learn more about the company and its fresh produce.
includes objectives that encourage people to buy or use your products or services. For example, this campaign would encourage people to buy some of the company's fresh produce.
1-4. Name your campaign (if you want to) and click Continue.
Once you make your selection, you'll see it bolded and in large text at the bottom of the window.
Clicking the expand-down arrow to the right of "Name your Campaign" will drop down a menu. You can skip creating an ad or an ad set if you only want to create the campaign.
1-5. Choose "Special Ad Categories," "Campaign Details," "A/B Test," and "Campaign Budget Optimization" and click Next.
The default settings are the most basic, so any newer ad-creators should leave them alone.
You can click the circles to select an option. A filled-in bubble means that option is selected.
Enabling "Campaign Budget Optimization" is recommended because it will automatically optimize and distribute your budget to get more results.
1-6. Make your ad set choices.
You can define your audience, choose your ad placements, then set a budget and schedule.
As you scroll down the page, you'll be able to click boxes to select age ranges and genders or type in date ranges for your ad. Click if you want to tweak the settings for a section even more, like changing if you want the ad to show to all your FB connections or only certain people.
When you're finished, click .
1-7. Create your ad.
Under the "Identity" header, you can also choose where the ad will run. Select your business's Instagram account to make sure the ads run on Instagram.
On the right side of the page, you can click a variation of the ad including a story and a post.
Change the text under "Primary Text" to change the text that appears in the ad.
Click under the "Ad Creative" header to change the image in the ad. By default, your cover photo is used.
1-8. Click Publish.
Your ad will now be displayed to your audience according to your settings.
Tips
You can also use BlueStacks to mimic the Android experience on Instagram, so you'll be able to perform the mobile steps to promote posts on Instagram.

How to Boost the Bass on Windows
|
1. Using the Windows Sound Control Panel
1-1. Update the audio drivers on your PC.
As long as you're using Windows 10, your drivers are typically updated automatically when you update Windows. However, depending on your sound card, the manufacturer may offer different drivers you can only get from their website, and possibly even software that lets you fine-tune the bass and other EQ settings. Start by checking for updates in the device manager, and then check the manufacturer's website for updates.
This method will not work for all sound cards. If it doesn't work for you, check your PC for audio software, or try using third-party bass boosting software. Depending on the app you're using to listen to audio, you may even be able to use a built-in equalizer to adjust the bass.
1-2. Right-click the sound icon on the taskbar.
This icon looks like a tiny speaker, and it'll be in the lower-right corner of your screen (near the clock). This opens a menu.
If you don't see this icon, click the up-arrow to the left of the clock to display hidden icons.
1-3. Click Open sound settings on the menu.
This opens your Sound settings.
1-4. Click Sound Control Panel in the right panel.
It's toward the bottom under the "Related Settings" header.
1-5. Select your playback device and click Properties.
The playback device is the speaker or headphones you're using to listen to audio. This opens your properties for that device.
1-6. Click the Enhancements tab at the top.
If you see this tab at the top of the window, you'll be able to use this method to adjust the bass on your PC.
If you don't see this option, you'll need to use your audio card or speaker's separate controls or a third-party app to adjust the bass.
1-7. Check the box next to "Bass Boost."
This will add a general bass-boosting effect to your audio.
1-8. Click OK.
This saves your new audio settings. Any audio you play on your speakers will have the bass boosted.
2. Using Your PC's Audio Software
2-1. Open your PC's built-in audio software.
Many desktops and laptops come with apps that can help you boost the bass in your audio. For example, many HP computers come with Bang & Olufsen audio software called B&O Audio Control. Many Acer models come with the HD Audio Manager app, and Asus models often come with one called Asus Realtek HD Audio..
To look for audio software, click the Start menu (or press the Windows key) and check the list of programs for apps that contain the word "Audio" or "Sound."
If you installed your own sound card, go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers and software for your model.
2-2. Open the "Output" or "Speaker" tab.
The name of this tab varies by app, but it'll usually have one of those words in the title.
2-3. Select the speaker you're listening through.
For example, if you want to boost the bass for your built-in speakers, choose that speaker.
2-4. Locate the Equalizer or EQ settings.
Not all audio software has this feature, but if yours does, it may be on a separate tab called "Sound effects." An equalizer looks like many vertical lines with sliders and numbers at the bottom.
You may not be able to adjust the equalizer for all audio devices. For example. If you selected your headphones in the last step, you may not see an option to adjust the bass or drag the sliders on the equalizer, however, selecting your onboard speaker may produce different results.
You may not be able to adjust an equalizer but could still have a "Bass Boost" option in your app. Click around to look for any settings that involve the word "bass."
2-5. Increase the bass.
You can usually do this in one of three ways:
If you can select a Bass Boost option, this will usually increase the bass significantly.
If you have a preset menu, you can sometimes choose a "Bass" preset from a menu.
If you have a graphical equalizer with sliders but don't see the option to choose "Bass," you can increase the bass by dragging the sliders on the left upwards. Bass sounds are generally between 20Hz and 250Hz, so increase the sliders that fall within that range. Do this as you're listening to music so you can hear the effects in real time.
3. Using FxSound
3-1. Go to https://www.fxsound.com/plans.
FxSound is software designed to improve your computer's audio, and comes with some great bass-boosting capabilities. There's a free version of the app, as well as a paid version. The paid version comes with presets and allows you to save your own configurations. The free version requires you to adjust the bass yourself each time you use the app.
FxSound is just one of many apps that let you adjust the bass on your PC. Most of these apps do cost money, but FxSound's free option is pretty solid.
3-2. Click Download Free for Windows.
This saves the installer to your computer.
3-3. Double-click the installer to install FxSound.
The downloaded file, called fxsound_setup.exe, is in your default downloads folder. Double-click the file and follow the on-screen instructions to install it.
3-4. Open FxSound.
If the app doesn't open automatically, click in the Start menu.
When FxSound is open, your computer's audio will be routed through it automatically.
3-5. Select your audio device from the drop-down menu.
The menu is at the top-right corner. For example, if you're listening to music through a Bluetooth speaker, select that speaker from the menu.
3-6. Drag the "Bass Boost" slider all the way to the right.
This increases the bass as much as possible.
You can also use the app to adjust the equalizer manually. Also, try the other sliders on the left, such as "Clarity" (to adjust the highs and mids) and "Surround Sound" (to widen the left-right balance for a wider sound).
Click the power button at the bottom to disable FxSound while you're listening to hear the difference when the app is activated versus when it isn't.
Tips
Many apps, including iTunes, have their own built-in bass boost features, and/or equalizers that you can adjust manually. If you're listening with iTunes, click the View menu and select Show equalizer to display the equalizer, and then choose Bass Booster from the menu.

How to Boot Linux from a USB on Windows 10
|
1. Creating a Bootable Linux Flash Drive
1-1. Download an ISO image of Ubuntu (or your preferred Linux flavor).
To boot into Linux from a USB drive, you'll need to download a file that contains an "image" of the Linux installation media. You can download the ISO for any flavor of Linux you want to install, including Debian and Linux Mint, and the process to create a bootable USB drive will be similar.
To download an ISO of Ubuntu, head over to https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop and click the link next to the latest stable version. Ubuntu is a good option if you want to try out Linux without installing it—once you boot from the flash drive, you'll be able to choose an option to try before you install.
To download a Debian ISO, go to https://www.debian.org/download. The download will start automatically.
You can get the Linux Mint ISO from https://linuxmint.com/download.php. Just click the button next to the version you want to install.
If you just want to try out Linux without installing it on your hard drive, try Puppy Linux, which allows you to boot right into a functional Linux desktop. You can download a Puppy Linux ISO from https://puppylinux.com/index.html#download.
1-2. Install Rufus on your PC.
Rufus is free software that allows you to create bootable USB drives from ISO images. Go to https://rufus.ie and click the link under "Download" toward the bottom of the page to download the installer.
When the download is complete, double-click the file that begins with "rufus" and ends with "exe" and follow the on-screen instructions to install.
Once Rufus is installed, you'll find it in your Windows menu. Launch Rufus if it doesn't start automatically after the installation.
1-3. Insert your USB flash drive into an available USB port.
You'll want to use a blank USB drive, as everything on the drive will be deleted. Back the drive up before you continue if necessary.
1-4. Open Rufus and select your USB flash drive in Rufus.
If multiple external drives are connected to your PC, Rufus may select the wrong drive. Click the proper drive in the "Device" menu if it's not accurate.
1-5. Select FreeDOS from the "Boot selection" menu.
It's just under the Device selector. This tells Rufus to make the drive bootable.
The default options for "Partition scheme" and "Target system" are filled in automatically and you won't need to change them.
1-6. Click the Select button and choose the ISO you downloaded.
This button is to the right of the "Boot selection" menu. You should find the ISO in your default download folder, which is usually called Downloads.
1-7. Leave the other parameters in place and click START.
This begins the process of writing the ISO image to the flash drive.
If Rufus prompts you to download an additional file to write the ISO, click to continue.
1-8. Select "Write in ISO image mode (Recommended)" and click OK.
This option will appear when the "ISOHybrid image detected" window appears. This just means you can use the same ISO on a bootable DVD or USB drive as needed.
1-9. Click OK to create your bootable USB drive.
This involves erasing the data on the drive and copying the necessary files for making the drive bootable. You'll see a Status bar at the bottom of the window once the process begins.
When the drive is ready, the status bar will say "READY." At this point, you'll have a bootable Linux USB drive.
2. Booting into Linux
2-1. Reboot your PC with the USB drive attached.
If you've already set your PC to boot from USB, your computer will immediately boot into Linux once it comes back up.
If your PC boots back into Windows 10 instead, continue with this method.
skip to step 5. Otherwise, the steps to get to the BIOS are going to be different depending on your motherboard—you'll usually press a key immediately after the PC restarts, which is usually , , or . Search for your PC model and "BIOS setup key" to find your key. Alternatively, try the following steps to boot into the BIOS from Windows 10:
Press + to open Settings.
Click .
Click in the left panel.
Click under "Advanced startup."
On the "Choose an option" screen, click .
Click and then click . The PC will boot into the BIOS or UEFI.
2-2. Locate the Boot menu.
Once the computer boots into the BIOS, look for a menu called Boot, Boot Order, or Boot Options. You might have to enter a menu called Advanced, System, Storage, or Configuration to find it. What you're looking for a list of boot devices, such as "Hard Drive" and "Removable Device" in order.
2-3. Set the USB drive or "Removable Storage" to be first in the boot order.
You may have to select an item called "1st boot device" or similar to bring up a list of options. The goal is to make your USB drive or removable media the first item in the list so your PC tries to boot from devices that are connected to it.
2-4. Save and exit the BIOS.
You'll usually do this by pressing the key or by selecting an option called . Once saved, your PC will reboot.
2-5. Install and run Linux.
When your PC boots from the flash drive, you'll be prompted to choose some regional and keyboard settings. If you made an Ubuntu drive, you can choose to use the live version of Ubuntu, or install it on your hard drive. Regardless of the version of Linux you want to install, the remaining steps will be simple—follow the on-screen instructions to get started!
If you're installing Puppy Linux, you'll boot right into a functional Linux desktop without having to install.
Tips
Any time the flash drive is connected to your PC upon reboot, your PC will try to boot from it before it boots from your hard drive. If you don’t want to boot from the USB drive the next time you reboot, remove the drive before rebooting.

How to Boot Someone Out of Your Network
|
1. Using Your Router's Page
1-1. Determine your router's IP address.
In order to boot someone off of your network from the router page, you'll need to know your router's address. To find the address:
Windows - Open {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/0\/07\/Windowsstart.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/07\/Windowsstart.png\/30px-Windowsstart.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":30,"bigHeight":30,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Windows icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}, click {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/d\/d0\/Windowssettings.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d0\/Windowssettings.png\/31px-Windowssettings.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":445,"bigWidth":31,"bigHeight":30,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Windows icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}, click , click , scroll down and click , scroll down to the "Default gateway" heading, and review the numbered address to the right of the heading.
Mac - Open the {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/f\/ff\/Macapple1.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/ff\/Macapple1.png\/29px-Macapple1.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":476,"bigWidth":29,"bigHeight":30,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Mac icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}, click , click , select your Wi-Fi network, click , click the tab, and review the numbered address to the right of the "Router" heading.
Disconnect from the Internet everything except your computer. This is the easiest way to determine whether or not you have intruders on your network, as any remaining addresses that you find belong either to your computer or to an intruder. If you have any Internet items that are wired directly to the router via Ethernet cables (e.g., consoles), disconnect the Ethernet cable(s).
1-2. Go to your router's page.
Open a browser, enter your router's numbered address into the address bar at the top of the browser window, and press ↵ Enter.
1-3. Log in if necessary.
If prompted, enter the login username and password. If you didn't set these credentials yourself, you'll probably find them on the back of the router, in the router's manual, or in the router's online documentation.
You may be prompted to log in later when you attempt to change your router's settings.
1-4. Find the Wi-Fi connections menu.
Most router pages have a section where they list all current connections by name. This section will usually be labeled , , or something similar.
For some routers, you'll have to find the section instead.
1-5. Review the current connections.
If you see a connection that doesn't belong to one of your Internet-connected items (e.g., consoles, computers, phones, tablets, smart TVs, etc.), it's probably okay to block that connection.
1-6. Select a connection that you want to block.
For some router pages, you'll click the connection in question; others may require something else, such as clicking a checkbox next to it.
1-7. Click the "Block" or "Remove" option.
This option should be next to, below, or otherwise near the connection that you're trying to remove. Doing so will kick off the selected connection.
1-8. Save your changes if necessary.
If you see a option somewhere nearby, click it to save your changes.
Don't use your browser's "Back" button to exit this page—just click the router manufacturer's name or the link (or similar) at the top of the page.
1-9. Change your network's password.
While not mandatory, changing the network's password will ensure that the user can't reconnect in the event that your router factory resets or loses its block list. You can usually change the password from within the section of the router's page.
You will most likely have to reconnect to the router on any Internet items (e.g., your phone, your computer, and so on) after changing the password.
2. Using NetCut on Windows
2-1. Disconnect from the Internet everything except your computer.
This is the easiest way to determine whether or not you have intruders on your network, as any remaining addresses that you find belong either to your computer or to an intruder.
2-2. Open the NetCut download page.
Go to http://www.arcai.com/downloads/ in your browser.
2-3. Click Download NetCut.
This link is in the middle of the page.
2-4. Click the "Netcut 3.0" link.
It's near the top of the page. This is the version of NetCut that's optimized for Windows 8 and 10. Clicking its link will prompt the NetCut installation file to download.
2-5. Install NetCut.
Double-click the setup file, then follow the on-screen instructions. Keep in mind that NetCut will also install something called "WinPcap"; this is just the program that allows NetCut to have a user interface.
You will need to restart your computer at the end of the NetCut setup before you can proceed.
2-6. Open NetCut.
Double-click the NetCut app icon to do so. This will open a new tab in your browser (or open a new browser window if you don't have a browser open).
2-7. Click the "Scan" button ⟳.
It's near the top of the page. This will find and identify any connections on your network.
2-8. Find an unwanted user.
On the right side of the page, you'll see several boxes with details about specific network-connected items. Find a box that has information about an item that you don't recognize.
For example, if you don't own any Apple products but you see an item with "apple" next to the "Manufacturer" section, you'll want to kick that item off of your network.
If you see an unfamiliar address that has "Gateway" or "Network host" listed, don't panic—that's just your router, so don't block it.
2-9. Kick the user off of your Wi-Fi network.
Click and drag the unwanted user's box to the left side of the page, then drop the box there. It will anchor on that side of the page, and the user in question will no longer be able to access your Wi-Fi network.
You can repeat this process with as many users as you like.
You may have to re-add a user to the block list each time you restart your computer.
3. Resetting Your Router
3-1. Disconnect your router from your modem.
Unplug from the back of the router the Ethernet cable that's connected to the modem.
Skip this step if your router and modem are combined into one unit.
3-2. Find your router's "Reset" button.
You'll usually find this on the back of the router. This button is intentionally difficult to find, so you may have to hunt for it a bit.
The "Reset" button is usually a recessed button that's not much larger than the head of a pin.
3-3. Press and hold the "Reset" button.
Insert a pin, a bent paperclip, or a similarly thin item into the recessed "Reset" button area and hold it there for a minimum of 30 seconds.
3-4. Release the "Reset" button after 30 seconds.
This should provide ample time for the router to reset. Your router should now begin turning itself back on.
3-5. Wait for your router to turn back on.
You may have to wait several minutes for this process to complete, and your router may restart itself a few times.
3-6. Plug your router back into the modem.
You'll do this using the same Ethernet cable that was originally attaching the two.
Again, skip this step if your modem and router are one unit.
3-7. Connect to the wireless network
You'll do this using the stock router network name and password, both of which should be listed on the bottom or back of the router.
3-8. Change the password when prompted.
When first connecting to a router after a reset, you'll typically be asked to enter a new password. Choose something unrelated to the last password that you used to prevent any wireless thieves from reconnecting to your network later.
4. Calling Your ISP
4-1. Prepare for the phone call.
Gather information that the support agent will need to verify your identity, such as your account number or billing address.
4-2. Communicate the problem.
Tell the support agent that someone is using your wireless connection. If your wireless modem/router came from your ISP, they can log into it and remove unauthorized users.
4-3. Decide whether or not you want to change your wireless network password.
If you think someone is using your password, ask your support agent to configure a new one at this time. Remember, passwords are case-sensitive.
4-4. Ask the support agent to recommend the right security settings for you.
If it’s been a long time since your router has been updated, your support agent may also take care of this now.
Tips
Make your password hard to crack. Experts recommend a long password (at least 15 characters), using a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, and avoiding words that can be found in the dictionary. [6]
X
Research source
Some Internet providers, such as Comcast, may configure your wireless router to act as a Wi-Fi hotspot for other users of their services. Users who connect to those hotspots do not share your wireless connection, so you won’t have to worry about them using your resources.[7]

Warnings
Never download network-blocking software from anywhere but the official manufacturer.
Only share your wireless password with people you trust with your network. If someone uses your wireless network to hack or download illegal content, you could be responsible for the repercussions.

How to Boot Up Your Computer
|
1. Steps
1-1. Locate your computer's power button.
If you want to boot a tower PC (Monitor connected to a boxlike device), then the button is most likely to be on the boxlike device (tower). If you are using a laptop computer then the boot button is most likely to be on the inner side of the laptop, usually on one of the upper corners.
1-2. Power on your computer.
After locating your computer's power button, press it to power on your computer. Your PC will now boot into the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) part. This is the part of the boot process that tells your computer what it should do. E.G, boot windows, give a keyboard error, turn off the PC for overheating, etc. Without this system, you computer would be soulless and useless.
1-3. Wait for the operating system to load.
Depending on the speed of your computer, the operating system could take a while to load. Normally, no input would be required here, unless your computer failed to boot, then you will need to select some from some recovery options.
1-4. Login to your operating system.
If you have a password on your computer, you would now be prompted to enter it, otherwise, your computer will boot into it's desktop. You can now start using your computer to do whatever you like.
1-5. Computer won't power on.
If your computer won't turn on, make sure that all the cables are connected securely, all your plugs are turned on and that there isn't a power failure. For laptops, make sure the battery is securely in place and that the Charging led lights up when the charger is plugged in.
1-6. Computer turns on, but nothing else.
Make sure that your monitor cable is connected securely. If this doesn't work, ask a professional or a friend that knows computers to check it out for you.
1-7. Operating system won't load.
This could mean the OS is corrupt. This is caused by viruses, hardware failure or can be caused by a faulty driver. This is mostly repaired by inserting the original install CD and doing an repair install. This fixes all the OS files, but leaves your personal files intact.

Always be careful when using electricity and plugging in your computer.
If you are under 12 years of age then try asking your parents to help.
Never open your computer if you don't know what you are doing!

How to Boot a Computer from a CD
|
1. Using a Windows PC
1-1. Insert the CD into your computer.
To do so, place the CD logo side-up in your computer's CD tray. The CD must have a version of Windows on it.
1-2. Open Start .
Do this by clicking the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen, or by pressing ⊞ Win.
On Windows 8, place the mouse cursor in the top-right side of the screen, then click the magnifying glass.
1-3. Click .
It's in the bottom-left corner of the Start window.
1-4. Click Restart.
This option is near the bottom of the pop-up menu.
If you have programs running, you may be prompted to click before you can continue.
1-5. Press and hold Del or F2 to enter setup.
This key may also be a different key. Most computers will display a message on startup that says "Press [key] to enter setup" or something similar, so look for this message when your computer restarts to confirm the key you should press to access the BIOS.
Consult your computer's manual or online support page to confirm your computer's BIOS key.
1-6. Navigate to the Boot tab.
You'll use the arrow keys to select it.
The tab may instead say , depending on your computer's manufacturer.
1-7. Select the CD-ROM Drive option.
To do so, press the ↓ arrow until this option has a box around it.
1-8. Press the + key until CD-ROM Drive is first.
This will place it at the top of the boot options list.
You may have to press a different key as indicated by the key legend on the far-right side of the BIOS screen.
1-9. Save your settings.
You should see a key prompt (e.g., F10) at the bottom of the screen that correlates to "Save and Exit"; pressing it will restart your computer, using the CD drive as a reboot point.
You may have to press ↵ Enter to confirm the changes.
2. Using a Mac
2-1. Insert the CD into your computer.
To do so, slide the CD logo side-up into the CD slot on your Mac. The CD must have a version of Mac OS on it to qualify as a boot option.
Some Macs don't have CD slots. If your Mac doesn't have a CD slot, you'll need to purchase an external CD drive.
2-2. Click .
It's in the upper-left corner of the screen.
2-3. Click Restart.
This option is at the bottom of the Apple menu.
2-4. Click Restart when prompted.
Doing so will cause your Mac to begin restarting.
2-5. Hold down the ⌘ Command key.
You'll need to hold down ⌘ Command as soon as your Mac begins restarting, and keep holding it until the Startup Manager window appears.
2-6. Click the CD icon.
It will typically say something like "Mac OS X Install DVD" below it. Clicking this icon selects it.
2-7. Press ⏎ Return.
Doing so will prompt your Mac to boot from the CD drive.

How to Boot a Windows Laptop from a CD
|
1. Windows 8 and Newer
1-1. Know when to use this method.
If your computer came preinstalled with Windows 8, 8.1, or 10, use this method to boot from the CD. If you upgraded your current computer from Windows 7 or earlier to Windows 8 or later, use the method in the next section.
The reason for this is that newer computers use UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) instead of the traditional BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) to control power-on sequence for the computer. This helps Windows 8 computers boot quickly and securely into Windows, but makes changing the boot order more complicated. UEFI requires UEFI-compliant hardware and special configuration if you are building your own computer.
1-2. Check the the CD is bootable.
The CD will need to be programmed to be bootable in order to boot from it. Windows and Linux installation discs, as well as many computer utilities, are configured to be bootable. This means that they contain the necessary files to start the boot process.
If you're burning an ISO to a disc in attempt to make a bootable CD, you can use PowerISO to check if the disc image is bootable or not. When you load the ISO file into PowerISO, it will display whether or not it is bootable in the lower-left corner.
One of the easiest and quickest ways to check if a disc is bootable is to just try booting from it.
1-3. Open the Charms menu and click "Settings".
You can open the Charms bar by moving your mouse to the upper-right corner of the screen or by pressing ⊞ Win+I
1-4. Click the Power button, then hold .
⇧ Shift This will reboot your computer load the "Choose an option" screen.
1-5. Select "Use a device", and then select your CD or DVD.
Make sure that the CD or DVD you want to boot from has been inserted into your computer. Your computer will reboot and load from the inserted CD or DVD. If the disc is not a bootable disc, you will be taken back to Windows.
If you don't have the "Use a device" menu, or aren't able to select your CD/DVD drive, read on.
1-6. Click the "Troubleshoot" option and then "Advanced options".
Select this if you couldn't select your CD/DVD drive in the previous step.
1-7. Select "UEFI Firmware Settings".
This will load your motherboard's UEFI interface.
1-8. Find the "BOOT" menu.
This menu will allow you to change the order of devices that your computer attempts to boot from. UEFI menu layouts vary from one machine to another.
1-9. Set your CD/DVD drive as the primary boot device.
This will make your computer attempt to boot from the CD or DVD drive before it boots from the hard drive.
You may have to disable "Secure Boot" to change the boot order. You'll usually find this option in the BOOT menu as well.
1-10. Save your changes and reboot.
After changing the boot order, save your changes and exit the UEFI menu. Your computer will restart and attempt to boot from your CD or DVD.
2. Windows 7 and Older
2-1. Know when to use this method.
If your computer came installed with Windows 7 or earlier, use this method to boot from a CD or DVD. Use the method above if your computer came installed with Windows 8.
2-2. Insert the CD that you want to boot from.
The CD or DVD that you insert in your computer will need to be properly configured to boot. This means it needs the correct files to allow your computer to boot from it. Windows and Linux installation discs are bootable, as are many computer utilities such as hard drive diagnostic tools.
2-3. Reboot your computer and look for the "BIOS" or "Setup" key.
The correct key will be displayed on the computer manufacturer's logo screen when the computer first starts up. Keys vary depending on the manufacturer. Common keys include F1, F2, F11, and Delete.
2-4. Press the Setup key to open the BIOS menu.
If you don't press the key in time, Windows will continue to boot as normal. If you press the correct key in time, the BIOS menu will open.
2-5. Navigate to the BOOT menu.
Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to open the BOOT menu. Each BIOS will have a different layout, though most should have a BOOT menu or something similar.
2-6. Disable "Secure Boot" (if enabled).
Secure boot will prevent your computer from changing the boot order. This is a security measure, but will keep you from being able to boot from your CD or DVD. Disable it before changing your boot order settings. You can usually find the "Secure Boot" option in the BOOT menu.
2-7. Change your boot order so that the CD/DVD drive is first.
Use your arrow keys and the to move the CD/DVD drive above your hard drive. Some BIOS menus have you use the + and - keys to change the order. This will make your computer attempt to boot from the CD/DVD drive before it boots from the hard drive.
If you have more than one optical drive installed on your computer, make sure you select the correct drive as the primary boot device.
2-8. Save your changes and exit the BIOS.
This will reboot your computer, and it will attempt to boot from your CD/DVD drive. If your computer boots straight to Windows, then you either did not save your BIOS boot order changes, or the disc is not a bootable disc.
Tips
If your laptop does not have an optical drive, you can get an external USB optical drive and use that to boot from a CD or DVD.

How to Boot an Ubuntu ISO from Your Hard Drive
|
1. Steps
1-1. Download the bootable disc image from here.
1-2. Install GRUB2 if it is not already installed.
Type the following command into the terminal: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/grub2 /dev/sda.
1-3. Add a menu entry for your Ubuntu ISO.
Here are a few examples. Type the following command into the terminal: sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom and paste these menu entries to the end of the file. Replace /PATH-TO-UBUNTU-ISO/FILENAME.iso with the appropriate path. On my system it would be /home/myUserName/Downloads/lubuntu-natty-i386.iso=====menuentry "Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop ISO" {loopback loop /PATH-TO-UBUNTU-ISO/FILENAME.isolinux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/PATH-TO-UBUNTU-ISO/FILENAME.iso noeject noprompt splash --initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz}menuentry "Linux Mint 10 Gnome ISO" {loopback loop /FILEPATH/linuxmint10.isolinux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/mint.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz iso-scan/filename=/FILEPATH/linuxmint10.iso noeject noprompt splash --initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz}
1-4. Make make the custom menu entries active, run "sudo update-grub"
Tips
If you want to install a new version of Ubuntu, partition your hard drive first. Use GParted or a similar tool. Assuming you are using an Ubuntu CD image, you will only need a 700mb partition to hold the image. If you have a liveUSB or liveCD, that's the easiest way to re-partition because you can't change or shrink a partition while it has your operating system (and re-partitioning tool) currently running on it.
Warnings
Installing boot-loaders and operating systems can destroy your data. The same applies when partitioning a hard drive. Make appropriate backups of any files or settings if they are on the hard drive(s) you are working with.
You can't format a partition that is currently in use (for the running operating system)
Installing GRUB2 will over-write your previous boot loader. So if GRUB2 does not detect your existing operating system, you may have no way to get back into it.

How to Boot from USB in Windows 7
|
1. Preparing to Boot
1-1. Understand how booting from a USB works.
By default, your computer starts up by reading the operating system information from its built-in hard drive. You can change this by telling it to prioritize plugged-in USB items over the built-in hard drive.
The settings for your computers boot behavior are in a menu called the BIOS, which is a pre-startup menu you can access by pressing a key specific to your computer model as your computer turns on.
In order to boot from a USB flash drive, the flash drive must be set up as a bootable item, and it must have a disk image (ISO) file with an operating system or similar service installed on it.
1-2. Determine your computer's BIOS key.
The key that you press to access the BIOS varies depending on your computer manufacturer and model. You can look up your computer's BIOS key by typing your computer's manufacturer and model name, along with "bios key", into a search engine and reviewing the results, or you can consult your computer's manual if you still have it.
Most computers use one of the function keys (e.g., F12) as the BIOS key, though some computers will use the key or the key.
1-3. Plug your USB flash drive into your computer.
The USB flash drive should plug into one of the rectangular USB ports on your computer's housing.
On a laptop, the USB ports are typically on the sides of the housing, while desktop computers typically have the USB ports on the front or back of the tower.
1-4. Make the USB flash drive bootable
If your flash drive isn't already bootable, use the Command Prompt or one of the Windows installation tools to make it so.
1-5. Add the file to which you want to boot to the flash drive.
Copy the ISO file you want to boot from by clicking it once and then pressing Ctrl+C, then open your flash drive and press Ctrl+V to paste in the file.
For example, if you're attempting to install or use Ubuntu Linux from the flash drive, you would paste the Ubuntu ISO file into the flash drive's window.
Skip this step if you created a bootable USB using the Windows 7 or 10 installation tool.
1-6. Save and close any open work.
Before you proceed with accessing the BIOS, you'll want to save any open work and then close any open programs to avoid losing your progress.
2. Accessing the BIOS
2-1. Open Start .
Click the multicolored Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
2-2. Click Shut down.
It's on the right side of the Start menu. Doing so will prompt the computer to begin shutting down.
You may have to confirm this decision.
2-3. Wait for your computer to finish shutting down.
Once your computer falls completely silent, you can proceed.
2-4. Press your computer's Power button .
Your computer will begin to start up.
2-5. Immediately begin tapping the BIOS key.
You'll want to do this as soon as you release the Power button, and don't stop until the BIOS screen appears.
2-6. Stop pressing the BIOS key when the BIOS page loads.
The BIOS page usually resembles a blue screen with white letters, though your BIOS may look different. At this point, you're free to change your computer's boot order.
3. Changing Boot Order
3-1. Find the "Boot Order" section.
You may see this option on the main BIOS screen, but you'll most likely have to scroll left or right (using the left and right arrow keys, respectively) through the tabs at the top of the screen until you find the "Boot Order" section.
You'll probably find this section on the tab, though many BIOS variations have dedicated tabs as well.
3-2. Open the "Boot Order" menu.
If the "Boot Order" section is a menu item instead of a heading, select it by using the arrow keys and then press ↵ Enter.
3-3. Select the "USB" option.
Find and scroll down to the "USB" option in the list of boot locations.
3-4. Look for the key legend.
You'll usually find this in the lower-right side of the screen, though it may be at the bottom of the screen instead.
3-5. Determine which key to use to move up the selected option.
Usually you'll press the key to move up the selected option, but check the key legend's information to be sure.
3-6. Move the "USB" option to the top of the list.
Press the proper key until the selected "USB" option is at the top of the "Boot Order" list. This ensures that, when you boot up your computer again, your computer will look for a bootable USB option instead of defaulting to the hard drive.
4. Booting from USB
4-1. Save your changes and exit the BIOS.
Press the "Save and Exit" key as specified by the key legend, then press the "Confirm" key when prompted.
For example, you might press to save your changes and then press to confirm that you want to save and exit.
4-2. Restart your computer if necessary.
If your computer doesn't boot from the USB flash drive the first time, it might have already selected your hard drive as the boot location. If so, you'll need to restart your computer (with the USB flash drive plugged in) before proceeding.
4-3. Wait for your USB program's menu to appear.
Once your computer recognizes the USB flash drive as a bootable location, you should see the USB flash drive's installed program, service, or menu appear.
4-4. Follow any on-screen instructions.
When the menu appears, you can proceed with running and/or installing your USB flash drive's program or service.
Tips
If you don't want to use Command Prompt to make the USB flash drive bootable, you can use a free program such as Live Linux USB Creator instead.
In some cases, your computer won't recognize the USB flash drive as a bootable location if it's plugged into the wrong USB port. You can fix this by trying a different USB port.
Warnings
Making your USB flash drive bootable will erase the flash drive's contents.

How to Boot from a Drive
|
1. Steps
1-1. Obtain Boot Up Software
1-2. In order to boot from a drive, you must have a physical device (CD/DVD, flash drive, etc.
) that contains the necessary files for a boot.
If you have your original Windows or Mac operating system CD, this will work. You will be able to use that disk to boot up after reading this article.
It is also possible to make a bootable USB drive. This is a separate process that requires downloaded software.
Once you have your boot device ready, you can begin the process.
1-3. Access Your Computer's Setup Framework (BIOS)
1-4. Every computer's motherboard (brain) has a control menu of sorts called a BIOS.
This menu is where you can change basic computer settings - including how the computer boots up.
When you first turn on your computer, the screen usually displays what key you can use to access the BIOS, usually Del or F2.
Once you know the key to press, restart your computer and repeatedly press that key as your computer comes to life. The BIOS menu should appear. It will look much different than your desktop - usually a fairly simple full-screen options menu.
If you see the Windows Logo appear, you are too late; restart the computer and try again.
1-5. Change Boot Order in BIOS
1-6. Changing the boot order is pretty simple.
You will essentially be telling your computer to read a CD or flash drive upon starting up, rather than accessing data in its hard drive. BIOS menus differ slightly from one to the other, but it is usually easy to find the boot-up options.
Navigate the menu using the arrow keys on the keyboard - your mouse will not usually work on this screen. If you are using a USB keyboard and can't navigate the menu, you will have to use a standard PS/2 keyboard.
In one of the tabs, there should be an option to specify your boot device. Look for a setting that says Boot Order, First Boot Device, Boot Management, or something similar and select it.
The screen will show a list of devices that your computer can boot from. Change this setting so that the device of your choosing is at the top of the list.
Make sure you have the right drive prioritized. Some computers have multiple CD/DVD drives (usually named D: or E: or F:). The one you pick must be the drive you are using for your CD.
1-7. Insert Physical Boot Device
1-8. Once you have changed the boot order, you must make sure whatever device you are going to boot from is inserted/connected.
If using a CD/DVD, insert into the drive selected.
If using a USB drive, make sure it is plugged in to your computer.
1-9. Restart Your Computer
1-10. If you have successfully changed the boot order to the correct device, restarting your computer should cause it to boot from that device.
If successful, you will be able to see the boot menu of respective operating system. Just follow the steps shown on the screen to boot your system.
If this isn't working, try entering the BIOS again and making sure the drive you are using is at the top of the priority list.
Tips
If you are booting a partitioned drive, make sure to take back-up of the same before booting.
System boot should be considered only as the last option. Booting your system just for system health factor or due to virus/malware problems is not recommended unless your system is terribly affected (system speed, system hang, etc.)
Warnings
Booting a preloaded operating system drive without proper formatting (as instructed on the setup screen) will cause system to be unstable.

How to Boot from an External Hard Drive
|
1. Setting up Your External Hard Drive
1-1. Figure out your computer's BIOS key on Windows.
Skip this step on Mac. If you want to set your computer to boot from an external hard drive, you'll need to access the BIOS, which is a control panel that you open by pressing repeatedly a key (usually a function key such as ) as your computer starts up. You can usually find out what key to use by doing the following:
Open a search engine (e.g., Google).
Type in your computer's manufacturer, model name, and the phrase "bios key".
Press ↵ Enter, then search for a result that matches your search and determine your BIOS key.
You can also check your computer's manual (or, if you don't have the manual, the online documentation for your computer that you can find on the manufacturer's website).
1-2. Attach the external hard drive to your computer.
Plug one end of the external hard drive's USB cable into a free USB port on your computer, then plug the other end of the cable into the external hard drive.
The external hard drive will usually have an indicator light that blinks slowly or stays constant when your drive is connected.
On a Mac, you may need to buy a USB to Thunderbolt 3 adapter if you don't have any USB 3.0 (rectangular) ports.
1-3. Format the hard drive
If the hard drive isn't compatible with your computer out of the box, you may encounter an error message stating that the drive is corrupted or otherwise unreadable. Formatting the drive for your computer's file system ( for Windows and for Mac) will allow you to access the drive.
When formatting the drive, you can choose at the file system to make the drive accessible to both Windows and Mac computers.
Depending on the type of data you plan on putting on the drive, you may have to format it again later. For example, using the Live Linux tool to burn a Linux Disc Image to the external hard drive will automatically format it again.
Formatting will erase any data that's already on the drive.
1-4. Make sure you have an item from which to boot.
You can't boot from an empty hard drive; in most cases, booting from a hard drive will require you to have a Disc Image (abbreviated to "ISO") file on the hard drive. Examples of ISO files include the ones used to install Linux and Windows.
Other examples of bootable images include a File History backup on Windows or a Time Machine backup on a Mac.
Third-party services such as Clonezilla are also bootable.
1-5. Place the boot file on the external hard drive.
You can usually do this by dragging the ISO file (or other file, if different) into the external hard drive's window and dropping it there.
If you're using a program such as the Windows 10 installation tool or LiveLinux to create your bootable external drive, skip this step.
1-6. Make the external hard drive bootable
The final step before you can boot from your external hard drive is to tell your computer to view it as a bootable item. You can use Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac) to do so.
If you're using a program such as LiveLinux to burn an ISO file onto the external hard drive, the hard drive will be made bootable in the process.
2. Booting from an External Hard Drive on Windows
2-1. Make sure that your external hard drive is connected to your computer.
Your external hard drive's cable should be connected firmly to both your computer and the external hard drive, and the external hard drive should be in a position where it doesn't create any tension on the cable.
2-2. Open Start .
Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
2-3. Click the "Power" icon.
It's in the lower-left side of the Start menu. Doing so prompts a pop-up menu.
2-4. Click Restart.
This is in the pop-up menu. Your computer will begin restarting.
2-5. Begin pressing the BIOS key.
As soon as your computer's screen turns off, you'll need to begin pressing repeatedly the key specified by your computer's manufacturer.
2-6. Stop pressing the key when the BIOS appears.
The BIOS is usually a minimal interface with white or colored letters on a blue or black background.
2-7. Find the "Boot Order" section.
Scroll over to the "Boot Order" tab using the right arrow key, or look for the "Boot Order" option in one of the menus on the main page if you don't see a "Boot Order" tab.
You may first need to select an tab to see the "Boot Order" menu.
The BIOS menu varies from PC to PC, so don't be afraid to look around for the "Boot Order" section.
2-8. Select your external hard drive.
Find your external hard drive's name or classification (e.g., ) in the "Boot Order" list, then press the "Down" arrow key until the external hard drive is selected.
In some cases, you'll only be able to select (or similar) in this menu. If so, make sure that your external hard drive is the only USB storage attached to your computer when booting from it.
2-9. Move the hard drive to the top of the list.
Press the "Move Up" key (usually the key) as specified by the key legend on the right side of the screen until your hard drive's name is at the top of the "Boot Order" list.
In some cases, the key legend will be at the bottom of the screen instead.
2-10. Save your changes and exit the BIOS.
Usually, you'll press a key to do this, so check the key legend for a "Save and Exit" option.
You may need to confirm this step by pressing another key.
2-11. Follow any on-screen prompts.
Once your external hard drive is selected as the boot location, your boot program or service will open; follow the on-screen prompts to open, install, or set up the program or service.
For example, if you're installing Linux, you'll be asked to select a language and country, enter your user information, and so on.
If you already have an operating system installed and set up on the external hard drive, completing the BIOS setup will open the operating system.
3. Booting from an External Hard Drive on Mac
3-1. Make sure that your external hard drive is connected to your Mac.
Your external hard drive's cable should be connected firmly to both your computer and the external hard drive, and the external hard drive should be in a position where it doesn't create any tension on the cable.
3-2. Open the Apple menu .
Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear.
3-3. Click Restart….
It's in the drop-down menu.
3-4. Click Restart when prompted.
Your Mac will begin to restart.
3-5. Wait for the screen to turn off.
Once your Mac's screen goes black, you can start holding down the ⌥ Option key.
3-6. Press and hold the ⌥ Option key.
You'll do this until the Startup Manager window opens.
3-7. Release the key when the Startup Manager window appears.
This window, which will appear in the middle of the screen, will have a list of your available boot locations.
3-8. Select your external drive.
Click your external drive's name in the Startup Manager window.
3-9. Confirm your selection.
Click the upward-facing arrow below the external drive. Doing so will prompt your Mac to begin booting from the external hard drive.
3-10. Follow any on-screen prompts.
Once your external hard drive is selected as the boot location, your boot program or service will open; follow the on-screen prompts to open, install, or set up the program or service.
For example, if you're installing Linux, you'll be asked to select a language and country, enter your user information, and so on.
If you already have an operating system installed and set up on the external hard drive, confirming your hard drive selection will open the operating system.
Tips
If you want your Mac to start from your external hard drive by default rather than just once, open System Preferences, click Startup Disk, click the lock icon and enter your login information, select your external hard drive, and click Restart....[1]

How to Booty Bounce
|
1. Moving Your Booty to the Music
1-1. Take dance classes.
The best place to learn how to booty bounce is by visiting a dance class. There are so many genres of dance that incorporate swaying your hips and bouncing your butt for sexy movements. Some dance classes to consider taking are:
Salsa: In this dance style you'll be swaying your hips a lot, but occasionally you can do up a booty bounce.
Hip hop: This is probably the style of dance that you will booty bounce in the most often. Hip hop involves getting low to the floor, and moving to the beat of the music. While hip hopping you can pop, lock, and drop it or do the twerk to incorporate that booty bounce.
Zumba: This is the perfect dance class to take if you want to exercise and move your booty. Zumba combines latin dancing with other styles so you can sway, pump, and move your booty to the music.
1-2. Move to the music.
If you want to booty bounce and feel comfortable and confident at the same time, you need great music. If you are in a club or just at home practicing, put on some soulful music, or music that you can easily dance to. Then, move to the music, feeling the rhythm in your body. Practice shaking and bouncing your butt in different ways. Do the twerk, or experiment with other body movements.
Bouncing your booty is really all about doing what feels good. The best way to bounce your booty is to get in a position where you are lower to the ground and your knees are bent. Then you'll have more movement in your booty and it will pop out more.
1-3. Wear booty enhancing clothes.
To really draw attention to your butt, you need to wear clothes that accentuate your booty. Choose some tight, high waisted jeans to really round out your behind. Or wear some cut off shorts to show off your legs. Wear what feels comfortable to you, and what is easiest to dance in.
You can also buy booty enhancing clothes like booty pop shorts, which add extra padding to your butt area. A tight dress or skirt can also enhance your booty by making your waist look smaller and your butt look bigger.
Some things you might avoid are looser pants, longer skirts, or flowy dresses. These outfits are cute, but they won't cling to your butt and so your booty bounce will be less noticeable. If you just want to dance and shake your butt and don't care about people noticing, then wear whatever you want.
1-4. Be confident.
One of the most important things to remember when booty bouncing is to be confident. If you look insecure about your booty dancing, people will notice and you won't be able to pull off a really good bounce. Whether you have a small behind or round booty, don't be afraid to shake it. Don't compare you booty to other people's booties. As the saying goes just "shake what your momma gave you."
2. Twerking for a Booty Bounce
2-1. Spread your legs apart.
Before you start bouncing your booty, you'll want to get in the right position. Start off by standing with your legs apart, wider than your hips. If you want to get lower to the ground, you can spread your legs about three feet apart.
Make sure you don't spread your legs out too far, as you won't be able to do the proper booty bounce. Keeping them too close together, though, will make it harder for you to go lower to the ground. If you aren't sure how far to spread them, stand with your feet together and then jump your legs out at a comfortable position. If you feel a stretch in your inner thighs, you might have jumped your legs out too far.
2-2. Bend in a squat.
Now that your legs are spread apart, bend your knees so you are in somewhat of a squat position. If you can go lower, then go lower. If not, squat to a position that is comfortable and easy to stay in. Place your hands on the top of your thighs with your fingers turned towards each other. Lean your upper body over just a bit, so that your chest is over your knees, but keep it popped out.
In this position, you want to make sure your chest, shoulders, and neck are not hunched over. You don't want to look defeated, but you want to look comfortable and chill. Try to keep your shoulders back and your head up.
2-3. Arch your back.
You have your position so you can begin to do the moves for a twerking booty bounce. Remaining in your position, arch your back, so that your chest pokes out even more. This will push your shoulders back and if you were to look at your back from the side it should form a small scoop.
As you arch your back, your butt should pop out and perk up somewhat. If it's not doing this, you may need to arch your back some more or get lower to the ground. Also, your butt size will determine how much your booty pops out. In this move, you are getting down in a lower squat.
2-4. Straighten or round your back.
Take your arching back and pull it back to round it somewhat so that your shoulders come forward and your chest comes in. You don't want to hunch over, but you also don't want perfect posture here, so just relax your back to what feels comfortable. Then, rotate from arching your back to rounding your back at a quick pace, going back and forth from one move to the other.
To arch your back, imagine someone is pulling a string attached to your lower back, causing your back to be rounded instead of arched. Your main focus should be on rounding out that part of your back, first. You don't want to just hunch over and round out your shoulders. You're also lifting yourself up a little bit. When you are in the arch you should be in a low squat, but when you round out your back, your squat will lift up.
To get the beat of this move, as you are practicing say the words "arch" as you arch your back and then "drop" as you straighten out your back. Essentially when you arch your back your butt is perking up and popping out. Then, when you round and straighten your back you're kind of dropping your shoulders and your butt so that it bounces back to a relaxed position. In this move, your squat should be higher than it was when you were arching your back.
2-5. Accent your behind.
There are two ways to do the previous move described. Now that you have practiced generally popping out your booty, you can begin to really draw attention to your booty bounce. The two ways to move your booty in this move are:
Booty up bounce: As you are arching your back, pop your booty up. Before, it may have popped up naturally, but now you really want to put movement in your booty. Imagine something is pulling your booty up by a string. Try to lift it upwards as much as you can. When you arch your back, this move will require more force from your booty. Instead of having our booty poke out on its own, you are going push it out. As you are practicing, every time you arch your back say "up." Then, try to do five in a row, saying "up, up, up, up, up."
Booty down bounce: As you are relaxing your back and rounding it out think about bouncing your booty down. Instead of focusing on the booty bounce when you are arching your back, focus on the bounce when you are relaxed. Think about pulling your booty down every time you relax your back. When you pull your booty down you should be squeezing your booty and this should also cause your butt to round out as if it's curling under. Try five in a row saying "down, down, down, down, down."
2-6. Practice with some music.
Now that you know the moves, you can practice them with some music. Choose some fast paced music you can dance to and twerk your booty, making it bounce up and then bouncing it down. If one feels more comfortable for you, then do that one most of the time.
3. Toning Up Your Booty
3-1. Adjust your weight.
Booty bouncing can really depend on the type of booty you have. Bigger booties may be the easiest to bounce, but smaller butts can still be bounced too. However, toning up your booty or changing your diet can always be helpful because you will have more muscle to bounce rather than fat. Fat may jiggle better than muscle, but muscle will look sexier and more sensual.
Toning your butt will also give you more endurance when booty bouncing. Because booty bouncing often involves some form of squatting, toning up your legs and butt muscles will help you squat for longer, thus allowing you to booty bounce all night long.
If you want to make your butt look bigger, you can exercise but you may also try eating more. If you are exercising, you will likely be burning more calories, so your body will need more calories in order to keep up. If you already have a big booty and want to tone it up for a better bounce, consider cutting some calories out of your diet and eating more fruits, vegetables, and protein. Also, make sure to drink lots of water!
If you are trying to gain more booty, focus on strength training. If you are trying to lose booty, focus on cardio.
3-2. Target your glutes.
There are many ways to tone your glutes, but one really effective way is by doing a glute bridge. Lie down on your back and place your feet on the floor about a foot away from your butt with your knees bent. Slowly lift up your butt from the ground until your knees and thighs make a straight line. Then, lower back to the ground and repeat.
For the most effective workout, do this to an entire song. Your butt and glutes are going to burn, but it will really help strengthen and build the muscles in that area, resulting in a bigger looking booty.
3-3. Strengthen your legs.
One of the most obvious ways to build up your leg and inner thigh muscles is by doing squats. Since that's a big part of booty bouncing, squats are the perfect exercise for you. Place your feet hip width apart and bend your knees while lowering your butt to the ground. Go as low as you can while still keeping your back straight and upper body lifted. Then, lift yourself back up and repeat.
To target more of your inner thighs, place your legs farther apart and do plié or sumo squats. This will still work out your legs, but will really target your booty, glutes, and inner thighs.
3-4. Tone your butt.
Some of the best butt exercises are donkey kicks and fire hydrants. Get on your hands and knees, and lift one leg up, with your foot towards the ceiling and your knee bent at a 90 degree angle. Then, pulse that leg up for 12 reps and repeat with the other leg. If you can, try to do three sets of 12 reps on each leg, or do each leg for one minute at a time.
For a fire hydrant, stay in the same position, but lift your leg out to the side, with your knee bent (imagine you are a dog relieving himself on a fire hydrant). Then, bring your leg back in, keeping your knee bent, and lift it back out again. Do 12 reps and repeat on the other side.

Bigger booties may be the easiest to bounce, but smaller butts can still be bounced too. However, toning up your booty or changing your diet can always be helpful because you will have more muscle to bounce rather than fat. Fat may jiggle better than muscle, but muscle will look sexier and more sensual.\\nToning your butt will also give you more endurance when booty bouncing. Because booty bouncing often involves some form of squatting, toning up your legs and butt muscles will help you squat for longer, thus allowing you to booty bounce all night long.\\nIf you want to make your butt look bigger, you can exercise but you may also try eating more. If you are exercising, you will likely be burning more calories, so your body will need more calories in order to keep up. If you already have a big booty and want to tone it up for a better bounce, consider cutting some calories out of your diet and eating more fruits, vegetables, and protein. Also, make sure to drink lots of water!\\nIf you are trying to gain more booty, focus on strength training. If you are trying to lose booty, focus on cardio.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Target your glutes.\", \"描述\": \"There are many ways to tone your glutes, but one really effective way is by doing a glute bridge. Lie down on your back and place your feet on the floor about a foot away from your butt with your knees bent. Slowly lift up your butt from the ground until your knees and thighs make a straight line. Then, lower back to the ground and repeat.\\nFor the most effective workout, do this to an entire song. Your butt and glutes are going to burn, but it will really help strengthen and build the muscles in that area, resulting in a bigger looking booty.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Strengthen your legs.\", \"描述\": \"One of the most obvious ways to build up your leg and inner thigh muscles is by doing squats. Since that's a big part of booty bouncing, squats are the perfect exercise for you. Place your feet hip width apart and bend your knees while lowering your butt to the ground. Go as low as you can while still keeping your back straight and upper body lifted. Then, lift yourself back up and repeat.\\nTo target more of your inner thighs, place your legs farther apart and do plié or sumo squats. This will still work out your legs, but will really target your booty, glutes, and inner thighs.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Tone your butt.\", \"描述\": \"Some of the best butt exercises are donkey kicks and fire hydrants. Get on your hands and knees, and lift one leg up, with your foot towards the ceiling and your knee bent at a 90 degree angle. Then, pulse that leg up for 12 reps and repeat with the other leg. If you can, try to do three sets of 12 reps on each leg, or do each leg for one minute at a time.\\nFor a fire hydrant, stay in the same position, but lift your leg out to the side, with your knee bent (imagine you are a dog relieving himself on a fire hydrant). Then, bring your leg back in, keeping your knee bent, and lift it back out again. Do 12 reps and repeat on the other side.\"}]}]}}",

How to Booty Clap
|
1. Jumping Up and Down
1-1. Stand with your feet together.
Your feet should be at a normal stance with feet under the hips, but less than shoulder-width apart. Take a wider stance if necessary to feel balanced. However, feet closer together is the norm.
1-2. Stand on the balls of your feet.
Slowly start to rise up on your toes and shift your weight to the balls of your feet. If you don’t have a good sense of balance, or you feel as though you might fall over, then take this opportunity to take a slightly wider stance. But, if balance is not a problem, keep your feet closer together.
1-3. Bounce up and down.
Once you’ve stabilized yourself on your toes, start to bounce up and down quickly. Do not squeeze your butt cheeks. You should feel your butt cheeks start to clap against each other.
This method works best for people that already have a big butt.
Try putting your hands against a wall for support. Leaning on the wall will allow you to bounce faster without feeling like you’re going to fall over.
To do a variation on this move, you can squat down with your feet shoulder-width apart, and bend your torso over about 45 degrees. Then, bounce up and down on the balls of your feet.
Practice a lot. It sounds simple, but many people still have trouble with it and are unable to do it.
2. Bending the Knees
2-1. Stand with your feet together.
Again, just as before, the feet don’t need to be right next to each other. Stand in a normal stance with the feet under the hips and less than shoulder-width apart. If you feel more comfortable, bring your feet closer together so that there is only an inch (2.54 cm) or two (5.08 cm) of space between your feet.
If you are going to place your feet closer together, lean up against a wall or chair for extra support.
2-2. Stand on the balls of feet.
Slowly, rise up on your toes and shift your weight to the balls of your feet. Use a wall or chair to help you balance if necessary. Or, you can take a little bit of a wider stance to help you balance.
2-3. Bend your knees slightly.
Then, straighten them. Then, bend your knees again and straighten them. Do this slowly at first. Then, move much faster -- as fast as you can go. Once you start moving faster, you’ll have to limit the range of motion, so it won’t look like you’re bending your knees.
In other words, your knee bending movements won’t be as large as before. Bounce slightly on your toes while you bend your knees. The two movements together help the booty clap. You should hear a clapping sound when you have done it correctly.
This method is easiest those that have a big butt already because it helps the butt jiggle.
3. Arching the Back
3-1. Stand with your feet together.
Similar to the other methods, your feet can be at a normal stance less than shoulder-width apart. However, if you feel more comfortable take a slightly wider stance. In this case you might have four(10.16 cm) or five inches (12.7 cm) of space between your feet.
3-2. Rise up on your toes.
Use your calf and thigh muscles to rise up on your toes. So, shift your weight to your toe box and balance there. Hold on to a wall or chair to help you balance if necessary.
3-3. Arch your back.
As you do this, your chest should poke out. If it helps, think about making a curve in your back that looks like a C. Stand in front of a mirror, and readjust to make sure you don’t look awkward. Your movements should look natural.
3-4. Rotate your hips down forcefully.
Then, move them up again. Continue to bounce as you do this. After you move your hips down, they should almost naturally spring up again because of the momentum. Then, repeat the motions -- pelvis down and pelvis up. Bounce as fast as you can, and you should hear your butt cheeks clap together. You know when you’re doing it right when your butt cheeks make a sound like they are clapping.
Use your body weight and the slight bend in your knee to help you create this bouncing motion. When you move your pelvis down, bend your knees slightly.
Your arch in your back should help you be mindful of rotating the pelvis instead of just using your legs.
Tips
To make the actual clap noise, keep your legs together, squat down just a little. When you come up be sure to come back down in that same position. It'll take a little force but you should hear it.
If you don't have a huge butt, it will take significant time and practice to perfect the booty clap. Smaller butts, may not be able to actually make the clap noise, but you can achieve a booty bounce or booty pop.
If you have a bigger bottom you may find it easier to booty clap.
Warnings
Don't booty clap while intoxicated, in most cases it may result in embarrassment.

How to Booty Pop
|
1. Learning the Basic Booty Pop
1-1. Place your hands on your hips.
This will help you control which direction your hips are moving.
Put on comfortable clothing and shoes with traction. While it is definitely possible to booty pop in heels, comfortable shoes with good grip can help you balance.
It might also help to practice in front of a mirror so you can watch your hips as they move.
1-2. Place your feet shoulder width apart.
Turn your toes out to a 45 degree angle.
1-3. Bend your knees.
Pretend you are sitting down in a low seat behind you, in a low squat.
Make sure your knees are over your ankles and there is no pain in your knee joints.
1-4. Keep your hands on your hip bones.
Press with your thumbs to move your hips forward.
Move your hips forward by pushing your hip bones forward with your thumbs three times.
1-5. Use your fingers to push your hip bones backward.
Now that you’ve got the forward movement down, push your hip bones so they push backward.
Push your hip bones backward with your fingers three times.
1-6. Put the forward and backward movements together.
Push your hips forward three times and then push your hips backward three times.
Make sure you remain in a low squat and your toes are turned out.
1-7. Try to pop with your hands on your knees.
Now that you have the basic hip movements down, it’s time to try booty popping with no hand support on your hips.
Get in your low squat and place your hands on your thighs.
Push your hips forward three times and then push your hips backward three times.
If you want to emphasize each pop with a “boom!” or “bam!”, go for it.
1-8. Speed up the booty pops.
When you twerk, your hips should be moving to a quick tempo to get a good shake to your hips and really make your booty pop.
Get down in your low squat, with your toes turned out and your hands on your thighs.
Arch your lower back and stick your booty out so your hips are moving upward. Don’t start with your back caved in or your hips tucked underneath you.
Pop your hips forward and then pop your hips backward to a quick tempo or count of 1,2,1,2,1,2.
1-9. Try to booty pop to music.
Once you feel comfortable with the basic booty pop, or twerk, put on some music to try out your new moves.
While you can twerk to almost any song with a steady beat, it may be best to get in the with electro/dance tracks, as well as hip hop/dance tracks that have beats made for booty popping.
Start with a song with a medium fast tempo and then once you feel comfortable twerking to the beat, move on to a track with a faster tempo.
It may help to practice by turning to the side view in the mirror so you can watch your hips move backward and forward.
Get down in your squat, arch your back, place your hands on your thighs and follow the beat to pop your hips forward and backward, forward, and backward.
As you continue practicing the booty pop, remove your hands from your thighs and hold them out in front of you. Try to pop on double time, moving your hips faster to a song with a faster beat.
2. Doing the Wiggle Booty Pop
2-1. Stand with your legs shoulder width apart.
Place your hands on your hips.
It may help to stand in front of a mirror to the side you can watch your hips and booty as they move.
If you have access to a wall, it may also be helpful to stand in front of the wall for balance.
2-2. Lean forward 45 degrees.
Keep the weight in your toes.
2-3. Swivel your hips right to left.
You can lift your heels to help you move your hips and keep your hands in front of you or against the wall to help you balance as you lean forward and twist your hips.
2-4. Continue to twist your hips, swiveling them faster and faster.
Isolate the bottom half of your body so you are not moving your upper body at all, just your hips, legs, and booty.
Shift your weight back and forth on your toes, twisting your hips, until you get a nice shake to your booty.
Turn on some good booty shaking music and try out your new dance move.
3. Doing the Handstand Booty Pop
3-1. Stand in front of a wall with your feet shoulder width apart.
You should be facing away from the wall. Make sure you have enough wall space to put your legs on the wall.
Keep in mind this is a more advanced booty pop variation, so be sure to practice the basic booty pop first before trying out this variation.
3-2. Bend down and place your hands directly in front of you on the floor.
Keep your legs slightly bent. Your booty should now be against the wall or a few inches away from the wall.
3-3. Lean forward and place your weight on your hands.
Lift one leg up and crawl it up the wall.
3-4. Press your leg against the wall and make sure you have a good grip on the wall with your foot.
Then, slowly crawl your other leg up the wall. You should now be upside down with both legs against the wall.
Keep your legs shoulder width apart on the wall.
Press into your palms to help maintain your balance.
3-5. Come onto your toes.
Using the wall for balance, arch your lower back so your hips move forward and up and then hollow out your lower back so your hips move in and down.
Continue pushing your hips forward and up and then in and down to get a good upside down booty pop.
3-6. Speed up the booty pop.
Once you feel comfortable twerking upside down, speed up the booty pop and allow gravity to do most of the work for you as you move your hips forward and up and then in and down.
Put on your favorite booty popping dance track and twerk away, upside down.
3-7. Come out of the handstand booty pop slowly and carefully.
Once you’ve had your fill of upside down booty pops and/or your arms start to get tired from booty shaking, lower one leg down to the ground first and then lower the other leg down to the ground.
Bend your legs and lift your upper body up slowly so you are back in the standing position.
Tips
Just like any dance move, your body will likely move differently than other people’s bodies, so don’t be too concerned about looking exactly like everyone else booty popping on the dance floor. Focus on getting comfortable with the way your body moves and don’t be afraid to make the booty pop your own by moving your hands or flipping your hair around. Have fun and enjoy yourself![8]

Warnings
Make sure you never feel any pain in your knee joints as you twerk.
If your legs start to burn after an extensive booty popping session, don’t be alarmed. Booty popping is actually a very intense workout for your obliques, quads, and glutes[9]

How to Bore Sight a Rifle
|
1. Steps
1-1. Mount the scope on the rifle if you haven't already
If your rifle is not already equipped with hardware for mounting a scope, you will need to install scope mounts. Most modern rifles come with screw hole pre-drilled and tapped for scope mount installation. Install mounts and make sure they are secure.
After your mounts are installed and hardware is tightened, install scope rings on the scope itself and leave loose enough to adjust their position. You will need to be able to rotate the scope and to move it back and forth after mounting on the rifle.
Make adjustments as needed so that the horizontal line on the reticle is level. You will also need to adjust the eye relief on the scope. While keeping the gun in a comfortable shooting position, move the scope forward or backward until there is no black ring around the objective. It's also important to make sure you have enough eye relief that the scope will not contact your face due to recoil.
1-2. Create a target.
A bright red dot is an effective way of bore-sighting. It needs to stand out and be clearly visible with both kinds of sights, so it helps to use something very specific with high contrast, roughly 100 yards (91.4 m) away for the optimum sighting.
You're not going to be shooting at the target, just lining up the sights, so this is a perfectly fine thing to do indoors, if you've got the space for it. Just practice good gun safety, as always, checking and double checking to make sure that your gun is unloaded before you try to bore sight it.
1-3. Line up the front sight with the target and stabilize the gun.
A gun vise would be ideal for the job, but any kind of bench or other stabilizer would be handy for keeping the gun level while you make the adjustments necessary. Obtain a good sight picture with the front sight, keeping the gun level.
1-4. Line up the scope.
After the sight is leveled and the eye relief is set, tighten your scope rings and re-check all hardware to make sure it is secure, then line up the cross-hairs on the scope with the target, keeping a good sight picture and your eye at the appropriate distance from the scope. Adjust the elevation and windage on the scope until it's lined up as closely as possible.
What you're looking for is having a perfect sight picture when you're looking through the end sight at the appropriate cheek-weld and sight picture, while at the same time you could look through the scope at the appropriate distance and be lined up with the exact same spot. It's very difficult to do this without a gun vise or some other kind of secure stabilizer, so you can make your adjustments without holding or moving the gun.
1-5. Sight in the rifle at the gun range
It's still important to take your rifle to the range and go through a few practice rounds to get the feel of the scope and make small adjustments as necessary. Each gun is slightly different, no matter how accurate, so take some time to get used to it and sight it in properly.

How to Borrow Books from the Library for a Nook
|
1. Transferring Books To and From Your Nook (Older Models)
1-1. Download Adobe Digital Editions to your computer.
Adobe Digital Editions is paired with your Nook, and is required for older Nook models without the option of downloading apps. Your computer will function as a mediator between your Nook and online library account.
If you do not have a computer of your own, you may be able to use a library computer to complete this process.
1-2. Create an ADE account.
Using the same email address you used to activate your Nook, create an account with Adobe Digital Editions. Creating an account will help you keep track of your downloads, and will facilitate the transfer of books from your computer to your e-reader.
Using an email different from your Nook email may create some difficulty in the download and transfer process.
1-3. Connect your Nook to your computer.
Pause at this point in the process and connect your Nook to your computer using a USB cable. Turn your Nook on to make sure it registers with Adobe.
1-4. Open the book using Adobe.
When you select the format you wish to download in on Overdrive (the program most libraries use to lend books digitally), a window will appear giving you the option of opening the file or downloading it. Select “Open the file with Adobe,” which will automatically pull the book open in your Adobe library.
1-5. Select the “library” button.
Once you have opened Adobe, select the “library” button in the top left hand corner, which should bring up a list of books you have downloaded or borrowed. Having your library open will allow you to identify and highlight the book you are trying to transfer.
1-6. Click and drag the book.
Highlight the book you want to place on your Nook, and drag it to the middle of the page on the left-hand side, where a small icon reading “Nook” will appear. This will complete the process of transferring the book to your Nook. Check your Nook before disconnecting to make sure the book has appeared in your Nook library.
1-7. Click “Return Book” on your Nook.
When you have finished your digital library book, plug your Nook into your computer once more, and open Adobe. From your library on your Nook, click “Return Book.”
1-8. Click “Return Book” in Adobe.
Open Adobe and complete the return by also clicking “Return Book” inside of the Adobe program. To verify your return has gone through, you can minimize Adobe and check your Overdrive or library account.
If your book does not return, you may need to contact Nook customer service or your library for assistance.
2. Transferring Books To and From Your Nook (Newer Models)
2-1. Download the Overdrive app to your Nook.
Newer Nook models have the ability to download apps directly to the device. Overdrive, the company most libraries use for digital lending, has a Nook-compatible app you can download to simplify use.
2-2. Find your local library in the Overdrive app.
To borrow from your library, you will need your library card and the name of your library. Find your specific library in the search tab in the Overdrive app and select it to get a list of the available titles.
2-3. Select the book you wish to borrow.
Once you’ve selected the book you wish to borrow, you will hit “download,” and check it out using your library card. It will be stored in your Overdrive app under “Bookshelf.” You will read your book through the app.
2-4. Read your book before the expiration date.
Through Overdrive, the library book will have a lending period automatically placed on it. Once this lending period has expired, the book will be removed from your Overdrive Bookshelf by default, and will no longer be available to read until it has been checked out again.
3. Getting a Library Card
3-1. Gather two pieces of mail with your name and address.
Many libraries require you to present proof of residency in order to get a library card. Before you head to the library, gather two pieces of mail with your given name and address on them, such as a bank statement or utility bill.
For children or teenagers, a parent’s proof of residency is usually requested.
3-2. Take your state-issued ID.
Once you’ve proven residency, you need to prove you are who you say you are. Your library branch will require some form of ID. Although this is typically a state-issued license or ID, students may be able to use their school ID cards, as well.
3-3. Visit your local library.
Libraries do not issue library cards online, so make sure you locate and visit your local library in person with the required documents. If you live outside of the area, you may also be required to pay a yearly fee.
Although using online catalogs is possible, you have to have a library card before you can use library resources.
3-4. Set up your online library profile.
While at the library, set up your online library profile. This typically uses your library card barcode and a password of your choosing. Creating an online library profile is required to check out items digitally.
The way to set up your online account varies from library to library. Some will have simple instructions, while others will require a librarian to complete the process for you.
4. Navigating the Online Library
4-1. Select the book you want to borrow.
Search your library’s online catalog for the book you want to borrow. To narrow your search, you can filter search results to include digital download books only.
4-2. Choose the length of time you wish to borrow the book for.
Although the standard borrowing window is 21 days, some Overdrive accounts give you the option of choosing a shorter time period, such as seven or fourteen days. Select the time period that best fits your needs.
If you know you are a slow reader, only check out one digital book at a time so you don’t keep other patrons waiting.
4-3. Choose the correct format for download.
Overdrive offers a few downloading options, depending on the reader you are using. Options should include a computer PDF format, a Kindle format, and a Nook format.
The Nook format might also read “EPUB” or something similar.
Tips
Return your book once you’ve finished with it so others can check the book it out.
If your Nook doesn’t connect to Adobe, make sure the power is on.
Overdrive is the most commonly used digital lender for libraries, but talk to your librarian if you do not see an Overdrive logo in your library’s digital section.
Warnings
Don’t try to keep books checked out past their due date by keeping your Nook on standby.
Make sure your library uses Overdrive to ensure compatibility with your Nook.

How to Borrow From Your Life Insurance Policy
|
1. Determining Whether Your Policy Qualifies As a Loan Source
1-1. Check to see which kind of life insurance policy you have.
Not all life insurance policies allow you to borrow against them, so you need to find out the type of policy you own. The most common types of life insurance policies are:
Permanent life policies. These policies have a savings element along with the mortality coverage, and that is why you can borrow from them. This category can be broken down into:
Whole Life Insurance. You pay the same amount of premium for a specific period to receive the death benefit.
Universal Life Insurance (also known as "adjustable life insurance"). You can reduce or increase your death benefit, and also pay your premiums at any time and in any amount (subject to certain limits) after you’ve made your first premium payment.
Variable Life Insurance. Most of your premium is invested in one or more separate investment accounts, such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds. The interest that your accounts earn increases your policy's cash value.
Variable Universal Life Insurance. Gives policyholders the option to invest, as well as easily change the insurance coverage amount.
Term Life Insurance. Pays the face amount of the policy at death, and only provides protection for a set term period (normally 30 years maximum). Does not build cash value.
1-2. Find out if your particular policy permits you to take a loan.
Take a look at your policy to check if there’s a loan provision. You can also contact your agent for this information. For the most part, you can borrow against a permanent life insurance policy, since it has a cash surrender value. As for term life policies, these are not loan sources since they don’t have a cash value that can be borrowed.
Only the owner of the permanent life insurance policy can borrow from it, not the insured or beneficiaries, unless they are also the owner.
1-3. Verify that your policy has enough cash value available for the loan.
Check on your insurance company’s website or with your agent to find out the cash value of your policy. You can typically borrow up to the cash value you've accumulated in the account, but guidelines may differ from one company to the next. Note that cash value grows slowly at first, so you may have to own the policy for a while (sometimes as long as ten years) before you can borrow against it.
2. Deciding Whether to Take the Loan
2-1. Weigh the benefits of a life insurance loan versus a conventional loan.
There are several reasons a loan against your insurance policy may prove to be a better deal than a standard bank loan. Some of these are:
There’s no approval process, credit check, or income verification, since technically you’re borrowing against your own asset.
Insurance policy loans usually have much lower interest rates than bank loans.
You’re not limited as to how you can use the money. A bank might restrict how you can apply the loan proceeds, but an insurance policy loan has no such limitations.
There’s no required monthly loan payment, and there’s no payback date. The balance of the loan will be deducted from the death benefit that goes to your beneficiaries.
2-2. Take into account the downside to borrowing against your life insurance.
Few things in life are risk-free. And taking a loan against your insurance policy is no exception. For example:
If you don't pay the interest on your loan, the insurance company will add that unpaid interest to your loan amount. This interest is subject to compounding. What that basically means is that in addition to paying interest on the actual loan amount, you’re paying interest on all the accumulated interest as well.
Dividends generated by the insurance policy will likely decrease as long as the loan is outstanding. Insurance dividends are basically a periodic return of your premiums. The dividend is based on the amount of your money available to be invested by the insurer. Taking the loan means that less of your money is available for investment, thus—lower dividends.
In many cases, the cash value in your insurance policy is protected from creditors. However, once you withdraw money, the amount you take out is no longer sheltered.
If the increasing amount of unpaid interest causes your loan balance to exceed your policy’s cash value, the insurance policy could lapse.
To keep the policy from lapsing if your loan balance becomes greater than your policy’s cash value, you’d have to pay back the entire loan. You can’t pay it back in increments.
2-3. Consider the tax consequences.
The proceeds of the insurance policy loan are usually not taxable to you, as long as the loan amount is equal to or less than the total premiums you’ve paid. However, if the policy lapses, the IRS then considers your loan balance plus interest as taxable income for which you’re liable. This only occurs when the loan proceeds exceed the cash surrender value and it only applies to the difference.
3. Requesting the Loan
3-1. Contact the insurance company to obtain the necessary forms.
Your insurer can forward you the appropriate form for taking out the loan. You may also be able to download the form from the company’s website. Depending on your insurance company, you might be permitted to arrange for the loan by phone. For example, one insurer instructs its clients to call if the loan is for $25,000 or less.
3-2. Make sure you properly identify the owner of the policy.
The information needed to properly complete the loan application depends on whether the owner is an individual, a business, or a trust. If it’s a trust (see definition here), you’ll need to know the date the trust was executed (signed). You’ll also have to provide the owner’s contact information, as well as a social security number (for an individual) or a tax ID (for a business or trust).
You will need to be a trustee and have legal authority within the trust in order to make the transaction.
3-3. Determine the payout method.
The loan application will most likely ask how you want the proceeds distributed. Obviously this will depend on your purpose for taking out the loan. Usually you’ll have the choice of:
Having the proceeds paid by check (usually received in five to ten business days), or
Applying the loan amount to payment of future premiums. Sometimes people will do this if they don't have the money available to pay the premiums out-of-pocket, but they don't want their policy to lapse.
3-4. Keep track of the loan.
Since you don’t have to make monthly loan payments, or pay back the loan within a certain time, it could be very easy to simply forget about it. That would be a mistake. Remember, your life insurance policy and the loan are financial investments. Here are some guidelines you might want to follow:
Monitor the loan balance regularly, in comparison to the cash value of the policy. You don’t want the loan to exceed the policy’s cash value, which could result in the policy lapsing.
Devise a disciplined loan repayment plan and make regular scheduled payments. Don’t forget that any amount of the loan remaining when you die means that much less money for your beneficiaries.
Pay the interest on the loan every year to prevent the loan from increasing.
Tips
Note that when you take an insurance policy loan, you're not actually borrowing from your policy's cash value. You're borrowing from the insurance company, and your cash value is the collateral.[15]

How to Borrow Money
|
1. Borrowing Money From a Friend or Family Member
1-1. Make a list of friends and family members who you think could lend you money.
Think of all of the close friends and family members you have who you believe have the means to let you borrow the money you need. Think of your relationship with this person. Are you very close with each other? Have you lent them money in the past?
They are more likely to lend you money if they have a close, trusting relationship with you and if you have also helped them out financially in the past.
Choose the person you think is most likely to be willing to help you out, and contact them first.
In general, it is not usually good to mix money matters with family and friends. If you don’t pay them back you risk ruining your relationship with them forever.
1-2. Be straightforward.
When you meet to ask for the money, be friendly, but don’t beat around the bush. It’s a good idea to make small talk before bringing up the issue in order to avoid seeming uncaring. For example, don’t just walk in and say, “Hey, I need some money. Can you lend it to me?” Instead, ask them how they’re doing, and see what is going on in their lives before getting into the money.
When you do bring up the issue be direct, but also polite. For example, you can say, “I’m really sorry to have to ask you this, but I’ve come across some unexpected financial difficulties. I’m a bit short on rent money this month. Would you be able to help me out?” Don’t beat around the bush by telling them that you’re having problems, and hoping for someone to help you out. They may not pick up on the hint, which puts you in an awkward situation.
Reassure them that you understand if they can’t lend you the money. Though you may really need the money, it isn’t fair to pressure someone you care about into lending you money they may not even have.
1-3. Be honest about why you need the money.
As someone lending you their own money, they have the right to know what you need it for so don’t lie about it, even if you want the money for something that you don’t really need to have.
For example, if you want the money for concert tickets say, “The thing is, my favorite band is coming to town and I’m not sure if I’ll get another chance to see them. The tickets go on sale in a week, but I don’t get paid for two weeks. I’m worried they will sell out before I get paid. Could I borrow the money from you to pay for them up front and then pay you back in two weeks when I get my pay check?”
They may have ideas or other suggestions about how you can come up with the money without borrowing it, and you should think about whether these are realistic options for you as it is best to avoid borrowing money when you can.
1-4. Offer to pay interest.
One great way to make your friend or family member feel more secure in lending you money is to offer to pay interest on the loan. It’s good to suggest a rate between 3% and 5% of the total loan, which will help them out because it means they will be earning more interest on the money than they would if it was sitting in a savings account. It will also help you out because it is a rate lower than what you would be paying if you borrowed money using any other method.
In general, it is best to insist that you pay some interest on the loan even if your friend or family member says that there is no need to.
1-5. Consider offering up something of value as collateral.
Another way to help show them that you’re serious about paying them back is to offer up something of value as collateral. This means that, if you don’t pay them back in the agreed upon time span, whatever you have offered up becomes the property of the lender.
A good example of collateral is your house. If you have a mortgage on your house, the bank has the right to take your home away from you if you fail to make your mortgage payment. In this case, your home is the collateral.
In a situation where money is being exchanged between friends what you put up as collateral can be something the two of you have agreed upon. For example, maybe you have an antique that your friend really admires and would love to have for themselves. In this case, you can place the antique item up as collateral. If you fail to repay them in full and on time, the item becomes theirs to keep.
1-6. Accept their answer.
Realize that this person may say, “No.” If they do say no, then accept their answer with grace and remember that they are probably not refusing because of you personally. Many people make it a rule never to lend money to friends or family members in order to avoid ruining the relationship. If they agree to lend you the money, great! However, it is important to follow a few steps before getting the cash from them in order to avoid any potential problems later on.
Remember that they might refuse simply because they don’t have the money to lend.
Even if you do think they are refusing because they don’t trust you, avoid being rude. Being friends with someone or being related to someone does not come with an obligation of money lending.
1-7. Create an agreement stating the terms of your loan.
It may seem stupid, but it is important to put the details of your loan in writing in order to avoid any potential misunderstandings. If your friend or family member is a bit forgetful, having it all down in writing may also prevent the person lending you the money from saying that they lent you more than they actually did.
Be sure to include the name of the lender and the borrower, the amount borrowed, when the money should be paid back by, and how much interest should be paid in addition to the original loan. If you put up any collateral be sure to include what it is and under what terms it will be returned. Make sure that both the lender and the borrower sign the document.
You may even consider having the document notarized. Having a document notarized means that a qualified person has witnessed the signing of the document, and that the people signing the document are who they say they are.
1-8. Write them a thank you note.
Once you have the money, write them a short note thanking them for helping you with your situation. You don’t have to go into details, but remind them that you will be paying them back as soon as possible, or at least by the agreed upon date.
You may even consider having them over for dinner to show them that you really appreciate them helping you out.
1-9. Pay back the loan on time and according to the schedule.
When borrowing money from friends or family it is extremely important to pay the money back on time and in full. If you don’t, you risk losing their trust and perhaps the relationship all together. If, for some reason, you are having trouble paying them back, get in touch with them right away. Don’t let the date that you promised to pay come and go without letting them know what is going on. If you are honest and straightforward about why you’re having trouble, they will be less likely to think that you are just trying to get out of paying them.
That said, you should still work hard to get the money back to them as soon as possible, even if it is just little by little. Say you borrowed $500 and promised to pay the full amount the following month but couldn’t because your child broke his arm, and you had to use that money to pay the deductible at the hospital. Call your friend or family member and tell them what happened. Then pay them back as much as you can, and tell them when you’ll be able to get the rest.
If you come into some extra cash, then there is no reason why you can’t pay them back ahead of time.
2. Applying for a Loan From a Financial Institution
2-1. Know your credit score.
Before going to a bank for a loan, find out your credit score. The reason you need to do this is because many banks will check your credit score before deciding on the terms under which they will loan money (and if they are willing to loan you money at all). Knowing ahead of time what your score is will give you an idea of what you can expect.
If you have no credit or bad credit, the bank may be willing to offer you a loan, but the interest rate will likely be very high and they may require you to “secure” the loan by offering up collateral. For example, they may ask you to offer your paid-off car as collateral. If you fail to repay the loan they will take the car from you, and it will be the property of the bank.
The lender may ask for a co-signer on loan as additional surety. Asking a family member or friend to co-sign your loan bears the same risks as if you borrow directly from them (potential personal rifts and lost relationships). The co-signer is also responsible for any unpaid portions of the loan.
2-2. Contact your bank or credit union.
If you already have an account at a bank or credit union, you should approach this institution for your loan, especially if you have a long and good history with them, as they are more likely to approve your loan. If you don’t have an account anywhere then it may be very difficult to get a bank loan, but you can do an internet search to find out which financial institutions offer personal loans.
Searching the internet will also allow you to compare different banks and credit unions which may help you get the best interest rate.
Credit unions are generally less demanding on small loans, especially when associated with an employer.
2-3. Apply for the loan.
The best way to do this is to go directly to the bank because you will be able to ask questions and clarify any information that you will provide which will determine the decision that the loan officer makes.
Make sure that you have brought all of the proper documentation with you. Different banks will require different documentation so it is best to give them a call before heading in to see what you will need. You may need documentation from creditors, employers, and other sources of financial information, and you may need a few days to collect everything you need.
With many banks, you can also apply online, and this is fine. However, you should remember that doing it face-to-face will give you a better chance to make your case and make a good impression with the person who will decide to give you the loan or not.
When going in to apply for a loan, dress as though you are going to a job interview. That means wearing clean, neatly-pressed, business casual clothing. Make sure that you hair is done neatly, and that you have a generally well-groomed appearance. You may think that you shouldn’t be judged on your appearance, but the fact is that the loan officer will be affected by your appearance.
2-4. Understand the terms of the loan.
If you are accepted for the loan, make sure that you carefully read and understand the terms of the loan. Do not accept the loan if you have not done this, or if there are terms and conditions that are unclear to you. If there is anything that you don’t understand, ask a member of the bank staff to help clarify the information contained in the document.
It may also be worth having a lawyer check the document in order to identify any red flags if you can afford to do so.
3. Asking for a Pay Day Advance
3-1. Look into your company’s policy on pay day advances.
Many companies, especially larger ones, will already have policies in place that restrict when and under what conditions an employee can request an advance on their pay check. If you can’t find anything in your contract about it, don’t be afraid to approach your human resources department about the matter.
Ask them about the conditions under which you could request an advance on your pay check, how long this process takes, and when the money you “borrowed” will be paid back. For example, will all of the money borrowed be taken out of your next pay check or can you split larger amounts up over several pay checks?
If your company has an employee website look there first. Some companies will post their guidelines online.
3-2. Ask the right person.
If you work for a very small company, you will probably need to approach your boss. However, if you work for a large company, it is probably best to go directly to human resources without bringing your boss into the mix.
This is more an issue for human resources since it relates to payment and not to the work you do on a daily basis. Thus, it doesn’t really need to concern your boss unless there is no one else to go to.
3-3. State why you need the money.
If you work for a large company that has a standardized policy for pay day advances you may not need to explain why you need the money. However, you should be prepared for the reality that many bosses will want to know what is going on, especially if you work in a very tight-knit company.
You don’t have to go overboard with details. If they tell you they need to know what the money will be used for, just give a simple and straightforward explanation. Reassure them that this is a one-time issue and that you wouldn’t ask if there was any other way around the issue.
3-4. Avoid asking at busy times.
You want to be able to get your boss or human resource representatives full attention so don’t approach them when they are very busy. For example, you should probably avoid Monday mornings or Friday afternoons as they are likely to be busy catching up or trying to wrap everything up before the weekend. You should also avoid times that are particularly busy for your company. For example, if you work in a restaurant, don’t try talking to them about it during the dinner time rush. Instead, ask them in the mid-afternoon, before the rush comes in.
Try asking on a Monday afternoon or a Tuesday. This way, you will be avoiding the Monday morning catch up, but there will still be plenty of time left in the week for them to handle your request.
3-5. Fill out any necessary paperwork.
Many companies will require you to fill out some forms related to your pay day advance. This paperwork will document the amount you took in advance, when you took it, and when the money will be taken out of your normal pay check. Don’t fight your employer on this. Remember that they are helping you out, and having documentation of the transaction protects both of you.
This documentation will probably also explain what will happen should you leave the company early (e.g. because you quit, are laid off, or fired).
4. Borrowing Money Using a Credit Card
4-1. Use your credit card to buy what you need.
If you need to borrow money in order to buy something from a retail store (e.g. you want to buy your child a nice christmas present) then using your credit card is an easy way to cover the costs of an item when you don’t have the cash on hand. Though you should be aware that it will incur interest fees unless you pay the balance in full before the end of the month.
Try to pay back the money as quickly as possible in order to avoid racking up interest charges.
Your credit card company will usually send you a bill each month (or this may be online) telling you the minimum you’re expected to pay each month towards the money you borrowed. This amount is usually relative to the amount of money you borrowed. For example, if you borrowed $100, you may only be required to pay $15 each month, but if you borrowed $10,000 you may be required to pay at least $150 each month. Be sure that you pay at least the minimum on-time each month.
If you can, try to pay a little bit more than the minimum and always pay on time. This will improve your credit score. Failing to pay at least the minimum when it is due will incur high fees and will harm your credit score.
4-2. Call your credit card company to learn about the consequences of credit card cash advances.
As the terms and conditions of getting a cash advance can vary greatly from card to card, it is recommended that you call your credit card company before going down this road. Ask them how much money you will be allowed, what the interest rate is and when it will begin collecting interest, and also ask about whether or not there is a transaction fee associated with the advance.
When you received your credit card, you probably received a letter giving you your PIN. This is the PIN that you will need if you want to get your cash advance at an ATM. If you never received this, or have forgotten it, be sure to ask about it when you call.
Most credit cards will allow you to take money out of ATMs like you would with an ATM or debit card. However, some credit cards may do things differently so be sure to clarify this with the company representative.
4-3. Get a cash advance using your credit card
In some instances, you may need cash for one reason or another, and won’t be able to pay with the card directly. For example, if you need to pay rent, many landlords are not able to, or are unwilling to, accept a credit card for payment. In this case, you will need cash. Though not every credit card offers this method of borrowing money, many do.
Be aware that you will not be able to get a cash advance for an amount that is greater than the limit of your credit card, and in many cases the amount you are allowed to take out as cash is significantly lower than your credit limit. For example, if you have a credit limit of $500, you won’t be able to get a cash advance for $501 or more dollars. In many cases, for example, you may only be able to get a cash advance of $200 if your credit limit is $500.
It is also important to understand that the interest rate on a cash advance is much higher than for normal credit card purchases, and this interest usually begins to incur immediately, whereas with normal purchases you have a grace period where no interest is charged on the purchase.
Cash advances also usually incur a transaction charge just for taking the money out.
4-4. Use your pin to get cash at an ATM with your credit card.
In most cases, this will be the easiest method to get your cash. You will need the PIN for your credit card. Then, just use the ATM in the same way that you would when using a normal ATM or debit card. Be sure to get a receipt for your transaction to keep with your records.
Other methods of getting a credit card cash advance include convenience checks and bank transfers both of which will have to be set up directly through your credit card company.
5. Getting a Pawnshop Loan
5-1. Choose a pawn shop with a good reputation.
Do an internet search to see what pawn shops exist in your area. Read reviews to learn about the experiences that others have had with certain shops. If you have time, you can also go and visit the shop to get a feel for the place. Some pawn shops will be more difficult to work with than others so it’s important to pick one that feels right for you.
If you have a very specific item, try looking for a shop that specializes in the type of item you have. For example, if you have an antique, look for pawn shops that specialize in antique products. If you have a valuable toy in its original packaging look for pawn shops that specialize in action figures.
5-2. Choose something of value to use as collateral.
Getting cash from a pawn shop can be done by bringing an item that is valuable into the shop. The item will be appraised by the worker and they will give you cash for the value of the item. They then hold onto the item until a specified date. If you haven’t paid back the money you owe by this date, then they are free to sell the item. If you do pay the money back on time, you get your stuff back.
Realize that you will have to bring in something that is worth at least the amount of money you want to borrow, and the pawn shop must be able to see that the item has value. Remember, they are running on the assumption that you won’t pay the money back so they will have to sell the item in order to benefit from the transaction.
Pawnshops typically only loan 30% to 40% of collateral market value, expecting 100% markup if they have to sell item. A pawn shop will not usually give you a loan for an amount greater than they would purchase the item.
There will likely be an interest rate of some sort on your transaction, so if you borrow $500 you may have to pay back the $500 plus an extra 5% in order to get your item back. This interest rate is usually regulated by the state you live in.
5-3. Provide evidence of the item's value.
If you have something that is really valuable, such as an antique, be sure to bring some evidence of it’s value with you. Though most pawn shop owners are quite knowledgeable about the value of different items, they don’t know everything. Providing them with evidence of the item’s value will make them more likely to give you the amount you want.
For example, if you own a valuable piece of jewelry consider having it appraised by a jeweler. They will provide you with a certificate that you can take with you to the shop.
5-4. Consider selling an item.
If you have something of value that you don’t really need or want, then you could consider selling the item straight away. This will mean that you get the cash you need without having to worry about paying it back plus you won’t have any extra interest to worry about.
Obviously this isn’t really borrowing money, but it does offer a good method of getting some cash if you really need it without the stress of having to pay anything back.
If you have something that is really valuable and you’re certain of it’s worth, then don’t be afraid to negotiate with the pawn shop. They are trying to buy the item for the lowest price possible in order to increase their profit margins. Don’t be afraid to walk away from the transaction if you feel that you are being taken advantage of.
5-5. Pay back the loan on time.
If you don’t pay back to loan on time, the item you put up as collateral becomes the legal property of the pawn shop and there is nothing you can do about it. You can try to talk to the owner of the pawn shop, but they are under no legal obligation to help you out.
There’s no need to wait until the terms of the loan are completed to pay it back. Most pawn shop loans are for 90-120 days, but this doesn’t mean that you have to go in on day 120 with cash in hand to get your stuff back. If you’re able to scrape up the cash after 30 days, you can go in with the money and get your stuff back as soon as possible. However, understand that you will probably have to pay interest for the full term of the loan whether you pay it back early or not. Ask your pawn shop to be sure about this.
6. Getting a Payday Loan
6-1. Research different payday loan companies.
There are many companies that offer payday loans. These loans are sometimes also called cash advance loans, check advance loans, post-dated check loans, or deferred deposit loans. If you need a small amount of cash quickly, and have run out of other options, this may be a good way to get the money you need. However, do understand that these loans charge very high interest rates and fees.
Look for payday loan companies that are associated with a larger financial institution that offers different types of financial services.
Read reviews online about different payday loan companies to ensure that they are not a scam.
Look for loan companies that are up-front and straightforward about their loan requirements. If you feel like something is off, then go somewhere else.
You can apply for a payday loan online, but you are also more likely to get scammed. If possible, apply for your loan in person at a payday loan center.
6-2. Understand the terms and conditions of the loan.
Before applying for the loan, make sure that you carefully read the terms and conditions of the loans offered by this company. This means you will want to carefully read any fine print. This information is usually available on the companies website or along with the application form. If you cannot find the terms and conditions, then ask an employee at your local center to provide you with them.
Getting a payday loan should be your last resort. This type of lending usually results in very high interest rates and the loan may incur a lot of fees.
Be sure to ask for clarification of anything you do not understand completely.
In some cases, by signing your application, you may be agreeing to the terms and conditions of the loan so be certain that this is the path you want to take.
6-3. Prepare your application materials.
Once you have chosen the company where you want to apply for a loan, you can find out exactly what documents they require by visiting their website, calling their hotline, or visiting a local payday loan center. Make sure that you will be able to meet all the requirements for a loan before applying in order to avoid wasting your time.
In most cases, you will need to provide proof of steady income (e.g. pay stubs), evidence that you have a bank account, your and your employer’s contact information, photo identification that shows that you are over the age of 18, as well as a blank check that you will use to pay back the loan.
6-4. Apply for the loan.
You may be able to do this online, but it is probably best to go into your local branch in order to fill out the application form and provide any required documentation. Going into the center will allow you to ask questions at any point during the process without having to call a phone number and explain your situation to a representative.
In most cases, there will be an application form to fill out where you will provide basic information about yourself such as your full name, contact details, employer, etc.
The loan company may look into your credit history, but they typically do not do a full credit check as these companies typically exist to prey on people who have no credit or bad credit.
6-5. Avoid renewing the loan.
If you have taken out the loan, it will usually be for a short period of time, typically around 14 days. After which time, the company will cash the check you left with them, or they will expect you to come in with the cash you owe them (this depends on the repayment terms you agreed to). Beware that these companies may try to encourage you to renew your loan, which will give you more time to pay them back. However, the down side of this is that they will charge you a fee for doing so. If at all possible, pay the loan back according to the initial terms in order to get caught in a debt trap.
For example, if you took out a loan of $300, which incurred an initial fee of $50, then you would owe them $350 after 14 days. However, if you renew the loan in order to get an extra 14 days to pay back the loan, then you may incur another fee (which can vary greatly, but lets say the fee is $100). Now you owe them the initial $350 plus an additional $100 meaning you are paying $450 for a $300 loan.
Remember that these people are not looking out for your best interest. Though you may think these people are really friendly and helpful, the goal of the business is to make money.
Tips
Make paying back the borrowed money your top priority. If you have borrowed money from a friend or family member and don’t pay them back when you agreed to do so, you risk ruining your relationship with them. If you don’t pay back money borrowed from a bank or payday lender, you risk ruining your credit and getting yourself into even deeper debt.

If you don’t have an account anywhere then it may be very difficult to get a bank loan, but you can do an internet search to find out which financial institutions offer personal loans.\\nSearching the internet will also allow you to compare different banks and credit unions which may help you get the best interest rate.\\nCredit unions are generally less demanding on small loans, especially when associated with an employer.\\n2-3. Apply for the loan.\\nThe best way to do this is to go directly to the bank because you will be able to ask questions and clarify any information that you will provide which will determine the decision that the loan officer makes.\\nMake sure that you have brought all of the proper documentation with you. Different banks will require different documentation so it is best to give them a call before heading in to see what you will need. You may need documentation from creditors, employers, and other sources of financial information, and you may need a few days to collect everything you need.\\nWith many banks, you can also apply online, and this is fine. However, you should remember that doing it face-to-face will give you a better chance to make your case and make a good impression with the person who will decide to give you the loan or not.\\nWhen going in to apply for a loan, dress as though you are going to a job interview. That means wearing clean, neatly-pressed, business casual clothing. Make sure that you hair is done neatly, and that you have a generally well-groomed appearance. You may think that you shouldn’t be judged on your appearance, but the fact is that the loan officer will be affected by your appearance.\\n2-4. Understand the terms of the loan.\\nIf you are accepted for the loan, make sure that you carefully read and understand the terms of the loan. Do not accept the loan if you have not done this, or if there are terms and conditions that are unclear to you. If there is anything that you don’t understand, ask a member of the bank staff to help clarify the information contained in the document.\\nIt may also be worth having a lawyer check the document in order to identify any red flags if you can afford to do so.\\n3. Asking for a Pay Day Advance\\n3-1. Look into your company’s policy on pay day advances.\\nMany companies, especially larger ones, will already have policies in place that restrict when and under what conditions an employee can request an advance on their pay check. If you can’t find anything in your contract about it, don’t be afraid to approach your human resources department about the matter.\\nAsk them about the conditions under which you could request an advance on your pay check, how long this process takes, and when the money you “borrowed” will be paid back. For example, will all of the money borrowed be taken out of your next pay check or can you split larger amounts up over several pay checks?\\nIf your company has an employee website look there first. Some companies will post their guidelines online.\\n3-2. Ask the right person.\\nIf you work for a very small company, you will probably need to approach your boss. However, if you work for a large company, it is probably best to go directly to human resources without bringing your boss into the mix.\\nThis is more an issue for human resources since it relates to payment and not to the work you do on a daily basis. Thus, it doesn’t really need to concern your boss unless there is no one else to go to.\\n3-3. State why you need the money.\\nIf you work for a large company that has a standardized policy for pay day advances you may not need to explain why you need the money. However, you should be prepared for the reality that many bosses will want to know what is going on, especially if you work in a very tight-knit company.\\nYou don’t have to go overboard with details. If they tell you they need to know what the money will be used for, just give a simple and straightforward explanation. Reassure them that this is a one-time issue and that you wouldn’t ask if there was any other way around the issue.\\n3-4. Avoid asking at busy times.\\nYou want to be able to get your boss or human resource representatives full attention so don’t approach them when they are very busy. For example, you should probably avoid Monday mornings or Friday afternoons as they are likely to be busy catching up or trying to wrap everything up before the weekend. You should also avoid times that are particularly busy for your company. For example, if you work in a restaurant, don’t try talking to them about it during the dinner time rush. Instead, ask them in the mid-afternoon, before the rush comes in.\\nTry asking on a Monday afternoon or a Tuesday. This way, you will be avoiding the Monday morning catch up, but there will still be plenty of time left in the week for them to handle your request.\\n3-5. Fill out any necessary paperwork.\\nMany companies will require you to fill out some forms related to your pay day advance. This paperwork will document the amount you took in advance, when you took it, and when the money will be taken out of your normal pay check. Don’t fight your employer on this. Remember that they are helping you out, and having documentation of the transaction protects both of you.\\nThis documentation will probably also explain what will happen should you leave the company early (e.g. because you quit, are laid off, or fired).\\n4. Borrowing Money Using a Credit Card\\n4-1. Use your credit card to buy what you need.\\nIf you need to borrow money in order to buy something from a retail store (e.g. you want to buy your child a nice christmas present) then using your credit card is an easy way to cover the costs of an item when you don’t have the cash on hand. Though you should be aware that it will incur interest fees unless you pay the balance in full before the end of the month.\\nTry to pay back the money as quickly as possible in order to avoid racking up interest charges.\\nYour credit card company will usually send you a bill each month (or this may be online) telling you the minimum you’re expected to pay each month towards the money you borrowed. This amount is usually relative to the amount of money you borrowed. For example, if you borrowed $100, you may only be required to pay $15 each month, but if you borrowed $10,000 you may be required to pay at least $150 each month. Be sure that you pay at least the minimum on-time each month.\\nIf you can, try to pay a little bit more than the minimum and always pay on time. This will improve your credit score. Failing to pay at least the minimum when it is due will incur high fees and will harm your credit score.\\n4-2. Call your credit card company to learn about the consequences of credit card cash advances.\\nAs the terms and conditions of getting a cash advance can vary greatly from card to card, it is recommended that you call your credit card company before going down this road. Ask them how much money you will be allowed, what the interest rate is and when it will begin collecting interest, and also ask about whether or not there is a transaction fee associated with the advance.\\nWhen you received your credit card, you probably received a letter giving you your PIN. This is the PIN that you will need if you want to get your cash advance at an ATM. If you never received this, or have forgotten it, be sure to ask about it when you call.\\nMost credit cards will allow you to take money out of ATMs like you would with an ATM or debit card. However, some credit cards may do things differently so be sure to clarify this with the company representative.\\n4-3. Get a cash advance using your credit card\\nIn some instances, you may need cash for one reason or another, and won’t be able to pay with the card directly. For example, if you need to pay rent, many landlords are not able to, or are unwilling to, accept a credit card for payment. In this case, you will need cash. Though not every credit card offers this method of borrowing money, many do.\\nBe aware that you will not be able to get a cash advance for an amount that is greater than the limit of your credit card, and in many cases the amount you are allowed to take out as cash is significantly lower than your credit limit. For example, if you have a credit limit of $500, you won’t be able to get a cash advance for $501 or more dollars. In many cases, for example, you may only be able to get a cash advance of $200 if your credit limit is $500.\\nIt is also important to understand that the interest rate on a cash advance is much higher than for normal credit card purchases, and this interest usually begins to incur immediately, whereas with normal purchases you have a grace period where no interest is charged on the purchase.\\nCash advances also usually incur a transaction charge just for taking the money out.\\n4-4. Use your pin to get cash at an ATM with your credit card.\\nIn most cases, this will be the easiest method to get your cash. You will need the PIN for your credit card. Then, just use the ATM in the same way that you would when using a normal ATM or debit card. Be sure to get a receipt for your transaction to keep with your records.\\nOther methods of getting a credit card cash advance include convenience checks and bank transfers both of which will have to be set up directly through your credit card company.\\n5. Getting a Pawnshop Loan\\n5-1. Choose a pawn shop with a good reputation.\\nDo an internet search to see what pawn shops exist in your area. Read reviews to learn about the experiences that others have had with certain shops. If you have time, you can also go and visit the shop to get a feel for the place. Some pawn shops will be more difficult to work with than others so it’s important to pick one that feels right for you.\\nIf you have a very specific item, try looking for a shop that specializes in the type of item you have. For example, if you have an antique, look for pawn shops that specialize in antique products. If you have a valuable toy in its original packaging look for pawn shops that specialize in action figures.\\n5-2. Choose something of value to use as collateral.\\nGetting cash from a pawn shop can be done by bringing an item that is valuable into the shop. The item will be appraised by the worker and they will give you cash for the value of the item. They then hold onto the item until a specified date. If you haven’t paid back the money you owe by this date, then they are free to sell the item. If you do pay the money back on time, you get your stuff back.\\nRealize that you will have to bring in something that is worth at least the amount of money you want to borrow, and the pawn shop must be able to see that the item has value. Remember, they are running on the assumption that you won’t pay the money back so they will have to sell the item in order to benefit from the transaction.\\nPawnshops typically only loan 30% to 40% of collateral market value, expecting 100% markup if they have to sell item. A pawn shop will not usually give you a loan for an amount greater than they would purchase the item.\\nThere will likely be an interest rate of some sort on your transaction, so if you borrow $500 you may have to pay back the $500 plus an extra 5% in order to get your item back. This interest rate is usually regulated by the state you live in.\\n5-3. Provide evidence of the item's value.\\nIf you have something that is really valuable, such as an antique, be sure to bring some evidence of it’s value with you. Though most pawn shop owners are quite knowledgeable about the value of different items, they don’t know everything. Providing them with evidence of the item’s value will make them more likely to give you the amount you want.\\nFor example, if you own a valuable piece of jewelry consider having it appraised by a jeweler. They will provide you with a certificate that you can take with you to the shop.\\n5-4. Consider selling an item.\\nIf you have something of value that you don’t really need or want, then you could consider selling the item straight away. This will mean that you get the cash you need without having to worry about paying it back plus you won’t have any extra interest to worry about.\\nObviously this isn’t really borrowing money, but it does offer a good method of getting some cash if you really need it without the stress of having to pay anything back.\\nIf you have something that is really valuable and you’re certain of it’s worth, then don’t be afraid to negotiate with the pawn shop. They are trying to buy the item for the lowest price possible in order to increase their profit margins. Don’t be afraid to walk away from the transaction if you feel that you are being taken advantage of.\\n5-5. Pay back the loan on time.\\nIf you don’t pay back to loan on time, the item you put up as collateral becomes the legal property of the pawn shop and there is nothing you can do about it. You can try to talk to the owner of the pawn shop, but they are under no legal obligation to help you out.\\nThere’s no need to wait until the terms of the loan are completed to pay it back. Most pawn shop loans are for 90-120 days, but this doesn’t mean that you have to go in on day 120 with cash in hand to get your stuff back. If you’re able to scrape up the cash after 30 days, you can go in with the money and get your stuff back as soon as possible. However, understand that you will probably have to pay interest for the full term of the loan whether you pay it back early or not. Ask your pawn shop to be sure about this.\\n6. Getting a Payday Loan\\n6-1. Research different payday loan companies.\\nThere are many companies that offer payday loans. These loans are sometimes also called cash advance loans, check advance loans, post-dated check loans, or deferred deposit loans. If you need a small amount of cash quickly, and have run out of other options, this may be a good way to get the money you need. However, do understand that these loans charge very high interest rates and fees.\\nLook for payday loan companies that are associated with a larger financial institution that offers different types of financial services.\\nRead reviews online about different payday loan companies to ensure that they are not a scam.\\nLook for loan companies that are up-front and straightforward about their loan requirements. If you feel like something is off, then go somewhere else.\\nYou can apply for a payday loan online, but you are also more likely to get scammed. If possible, apply for your loan in person at a payday loan center.\\n6-2. Understand the terms and conditions of the loan.\\nBefore applying for the loan, make sure that you carefully read the terms and conditions of the loans offered by this company. This means you will want to carefully read any fine print. This information is usually available on the companies website or along with the application form. If you cannot find the terms and conditions, then ask an employee at your local center to provide you with them.\\nGetting a payday loan should be your last resort. This type of lending usually results in very high interest rates and the loan may incur a lot of fees.\\nBe sure to ask for clarification of anything you do not understand completely.\\nIn some cases, by signing your application, you may be agreeing to the terms and conditions of the loan so be certain that this is the path you want to take.\\n6-3. Prepare your application materials.\\nOnce you have chosen the company where you want to apply for a loan, you can find out exactly what documents they require by visiting their website, calling their hotline, or visiting a local payday loan center. Make sure that you will be able to meet all the requirements for a loan before applying in order to avoid wasting your time.\\nIn most cases, you will need to provide proof of steady income (e.g. pay stubs), evidence that you have a bank account, your and your employer’s contact information, photo identification that shows that you are over the age of 18, as well as a blank check that you will use to pay back the loan.\\n6-4. Apply for the loan.\\nYou may be able to do this online, but it is probably best to go into your local branch in order to fill out the application form and provide any required documentation. Going into the center will allow you to ask questions at any point during the process without having to call a phone number and explain your situation to a representative.\\nIn most cases, there will be an application form to fill out where you will provide basic information about yourself such as your full name, contact details, employer, etc.\\nThe loan company may look into your credit history, but they typically do not do a full credit check as these companies typically exist to prey on people who have no credit or bad credit.\\n6-5. Avoid renewing the loan.\\nIf you have taken out the loan, it will usually be for a short period of time, typically around 14 days. After which time, the company will cash the check you left with them, or they will expect you to come in with the cash you owe them (this depends on the repayment terms you agreed to). Beware that these companies may try to encourage you to renew your loan, which will give you more time to pay them back. However, the down side of this is that they will charge you a fee for doing so. If at all possible, pay the loan back according to the initial terms in order to get caught in a debt trap.\\nFor example, if you took out a loan of $300, which incurred an initial fee of $50, then you would owe them $350 after 14 days. However, if you renew the loan in order to get an extra 14 days to pay back the loan, then you may incur another fee (which can vary greatly, but lets say the fee is $100). Now you owe them the initial $350 plus an additional $100 meaning you are paying $450 for a $300 loan.\\nRemember that these people are not looking out for your best interest. Though you may think these people are really friendly and helpful, the goal of the business is to make money.\\nTips\\nMake paying back the borrowed money your top priority. If you have borrowed money from a friend or family member and don’t pay them back when you agreed to do so, you risk ruining your relationship with them. If you don’t pay back money borrowed from a bank or payday lender, you risk ruining your credit and getting yourself into even deeper debt.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"There are a number of methods for borrowing money if you’ve found yourself in a situation where you don’t have the necessary funds to cover some unexpected costs. Different methods have different advantages and disadvantages, but whatever method you use, you should expect to pay back at least a little bit more than you borrowed.

Though you should be aware that it will incur interest fees unless you pay the balance in full before the end of the month.\\nTry to pay back the money as quickly as possible in order to avoid racking up interest charges.\\nYour credit card company will usually send you a bill each month (or this may be online) telling you the minimum you’re expected to pay each month towards the money you borrowed. This amount is usually relative to the amount of money you borrowed. For example, if you borrowed $100, you may only be required to pay $15 each month, but if you borrowed $10,000 you may be required to pay at least $150 each month. Be sure that you pay at least the minimum on-time each month.\\nIf you can, try to pay a little bit more than the minimum and always pay on time. This will improve your credit score.

This is the PIN that you will need if you want to get your cash advance at an ATM. If you never received this, or have forgotten it, be sure to ask about it when you call.\\nMost credit cards will allow you to take money out of ATMs like you would with an ATM or debit card.

Though not every credit card offers this method of borrowing money, many do.\\nBe aware that you will not be able to get a cash advance for an amount that is greater than the limit of your credit card, and in many cases the amount you are allowed to take out as cash is significantly lower than your credit limit.

In many cases, for example, you may only be able to get a cash advance of $200 if your credit limit is $500.\\nIt is also important to understand that the interest rate on a cash advance is much higher than for normal credit card purchases, and this interest usually begins to incur immediately, whereas with normal purchases you have a grace period where no interest is charged on the purchase.\\nCash advances also usually incur a transaction charge just for taking the money out.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Use your pin to get cash at an ATM with your credit card.\", \"描述\": \"In most cases, this will be the easiest method to get your cash.

Some pawn shops will be more difficult to work with than others so it’s important to pick one that feels right for you.\\nIf you have a very specific item, try looking for a shop that specializes in the type of item you have.

If you do pay the money back on time, you get your stuff back.\\nRealize that you will have to bring in something that is worth at least the amount of money you want to borrow, and the pawn shop must be able to see that the item has value. Remember, they are running on the assumption that you won’t pay the money back so they will have to sell the item in order to benefit from the transaction.\\nPawnshops typically only loan 30% to 40% of collateral market value, expecting 100% markup if they have to sell item. A pawn shop will not usually give you a loan for an amount greater than they would purchase the item.\\nThere will likely be an interest rate of some sort on your transaction, so if you borrow $500 you may have to pay back the $500 plus an extra 5% in order to get your item back.

Most pawn shop loans are for 90-120 days, but this doesn’t mean that you have to go in on day 120 with cash in hand to get your stuff back. If you’re able to scrape up the cash after 30 days, you can go in with the money and get your stuff back as soon as possible.

How to Borrow Money from Family or Friends to Buy a Home
|
1. Finding a Lender
1-1. Approach close relatives.
Borrowing money to buy a house is a major commitment, potentially involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. For this reason, it’s a good idea to start by canvassing those closest to you, who know you the best, and are able to make judgement about your reliability. Your close family will know you as well as anybody, and should understand your financial situation.
Never be pushy, or make demands. Rather, be understanding and appreciate that a potential lender is taking a risk to help you.
Your parents will want to support and help you as much as they can, but you will need to present a good argument and indicate the mutual benefits.
Your parents may feel obliged to help you, but you must ask them to carefully consider whether or not they can afford it.
1-2. Consider friends and extended family.
You may also want to consider talking to your extended family as well as some of your friends. You will have to think carefully about who may be interested in helping you, and who has the means to lend you the money. If you deal with friends, there may be a somewhat different dynamic to the relationship.
Friends are more likely to see a loan as a mutually beneficial way for them to invest their money.
Don’t be surprised if a distant Aunt you haven’t seen for twenty years isn’t interested in lending you money.
1-3. Explain the advantages to the lender.
When you approach somebody, it is essential that you are able to fully outline the potential benefits to the lender. The main benefits to the lender are a good rate of interest and a steady income stream. With interest rates very low across the world, savers and investors are receiving little return on their money. A loan to a friend or family member could result in a better rate of return than she would get from a bank.
A loan for a house is such a large sum of money that the loan will be repaid over a long time. The lender will thus have a regular and reliable income stream long into the future.
Having this predictable income can be a great help for the lender.
1-4. Detail how the borrower will benefit.
Depending on who you are talking to, and what the context is, it can help to explain how exactly the borrower will benefit. This can go beyond the fact of you being able to buy a house. Borrowing from a friend or family member may mean you are able to secure a loan at a lower rate than if you were borrowing from a bank. Perhaps this lower rate is what makes the purchase possible.
You may also be able to pay back the loan on more flexible terms, or with an unusual repayment schedule.
For example, you might be able to agree to pay only interest for the first year and then start paying back the loan itself in the second year.
Don’t take any of this for granted, and make it clear that you are committed to repaying the loan according to the terms and schedule you agree.
2. Agreeing Terms
2-1. Negotiate a fair and straightforward agreement.
Once you have spoken in detail to somebody who is prepared to lend you the money, you need to begin to negotiate the terms of the agreement. You should take this very seriously, and treat it the same as you would a meeting with a bank manager. Bring draft agreements and go through them line-by-line to ensure that everything is clear and agreed. Document everything throughout.
You will need to agree on the interest rate that the loan will be repaid at. Will this be fixed or variable? If it’s variable you need to have a clear understand of how often the rate can change.
Bear in mind that the IRS requires intra-family loans to reflect the commercial market.
You will also have to agree on the repayment schedule. How will you repay the loan, and according to what schedule? Will you make monthly payments, or perhaps bi-monthly or quarterly?
2-2. Set up a repayment plan.
Having a clear repayment plan agreed can enable you to plan ahead in order to meet the repayments. Use a loan calculator to input your loan terms and generate the list of due dates and amounts that make up your payment schedule. Borrowing from a friend or family member may make it easier to be a little flexible with repayment dates, but it is important to have a clear plan, and stick to it as much as possible.
2-3. Sign a promissory note.
Once you have agreed on terms, you will need to complete some paperwork to secure the legality of the agreement and protect the rights of both the lender and the borrower. The first essential document is the promissory note (sometimes referred to as a mortgage note). This is a legally binding document which states that the borrower promises to repay the loan according to the agreed terms.
The terms will include the interest rate, the payment dates and the frequency of payment.
All of this information should be provided in the promissory note itself.
It should also outline any penalties which may be applied if the borrower falls behind in the repayment schedule.
2-4. Complete a mortgage agreement or “deed of trust.”
You will also need to sign and complete a mortgage agreement, or “deed of trust”, which legally secures (provides collateral for) the promissory note. This document will essentially state that if the borrower does not pay back the loan, the lender can take action to recover the value of the loan. It should state that the lender can, as a final resort, foreclose the property to pay off the loan.
The document will outline the borrower’s responsibility to make all payments in a timely manner, as well as ensuring the property has hazard insurance.
This document should state that the borrower is required to properly maintain the property.
2-5. Consider legal assistance.
These are legally binding documents which deal with significant amounts of money, as well as the personal relationship of two or more people. You should get professional legal help in order to make sure all the paperwork has been completely properly. Hire an attorney to look through the documents independently and discuss all the details and potential implications with you and the lender.
It is crucial that everybody understands their legal position before the loan is made.
The attorney will be able to advise you on any issues arising from the loan related to the taxes of the borrower and lender.
3. Keeping to the Agreement
3-1. Repay the loan as agreed.
As long as you keep up with your payment plan as spelled out in your promissory note, you are on track to successfully repaying your loan. Even if you are able to meet the payments without difficulties, you and the lender might prefer to put a buffer up so that you are not the ones handling the payments directly.
Consider hiring a loan manager to deal with the payments and send any reminder notices, annual reports, and other documents.
Having an outside person dealing with the everyday administration of the loan can help you have a more normal relationship with the borrower.
3-2. Keep the lines of communication open.
A major factor in a successful private loan is your ability to maintain clear communication and honest transparency with the lender. The lender should make herself available to talk, and hear you out if you have run into temporary financial difficulty. The borrower has a responsibility to be direct and honest with the lender from the start and throughout.
If you are anticipating having problems making a payment, speak to the lender as soon as possible and be prepared to offer a sensible alternative.
You might like to set up regular meetings or conversations so you can both keep track of the loan.
This gives you a formal forum to discuss any issues and work together to find mutually beneficial solutions.
3-3. Be open to restructuring.
If you run into financial difficulty, and are struggling to make the payments, you should be prepared to work hard to make accommodations which ensure the borrower gets repaid. Treat the loan as you would a loan from a bank, and work with the lender to come up with an alternative payment schedule.
This could mean increasing the duration of the loan from ten to fifteen years, or altering the repayment schedule so a greater proportion of the loan is paid off in later years.
Remember that you have to make an offer that benefits the lender as well.
If you’re asking for a significant extension to the duration of the loan, be prepared to marginally increase the rate of interest.
3-4. Keep the loan separate from your relationship.
A big part of treating the loan as a professional agreement is keeping it isolated from your day-to-day interactions. Try to avoid talking about the loan at family occasions or when socialising. Keep it something you discuss at specific times, and try to contain it. This will be a lot easier if all the agreements are clear, and everybody is sticking to them.
Tips
Be fair and open. If the loan is between parent and child, make siblings aware of the arrangement and the nature of the terms. Point out that the arrangement is a formal loan, not a gift, and is being managed professionally.
Warnings
Be aware of the annual gift tax exemption. According to the IRS, individuals may gift up to $14,000 every year to another individual without incurring gift taxes.[13]

Any payments you forgive on a private loan count towards your gift amount for the year to that individual.
Contact your accountant or tax adviser if you are concerned that through direct gifts or forgiven loan payments you may exceed your gift allowance for the year.

How to Borrow Money from a Friend
|
1. Legitimizing the Transaction
1-1. Take it seriously.
Maybe you don’t have to put on a suit or sit opposite someone behind a big desk like at the bank, but taking out a loan from a friend should not be treated as a trivial matter. Lending and borrowing money is a big deal and should be treated as such.
Mixing money and friendship can cause problems, but if it's something sporadic or an emergency, it shouldn't be an issue.
If you need help and there are people out there that care for you and are willing to help, that's great. Just make sure you're not using them.
Make a presentation or pitch as to why you need the money. No, you probably don’t need to fire up a PowerPoint on the projector, but provide your friend with a clear idea of your intentions for the money. You’re taking advantage of (and thus unduly risking) your friendship if you expect “because I just need it” to be a sufficient rationale for your loan.
Be realistic about the amount you need to borrow and your ability to repay it. Do your homework beforehand on precisely how much you need to repair your car, move out of your crummy apartment; take a class to improve your job prospects, etc. And don’t expect “I’ll pay it back as soon as I can” to be enough; project a repayment schedule and time frame.
1-2. Insist upon legitimate terms.
A friend will probably want to (or at least feel obligated to) take it easy on you and be lax about any interest owed, collateral, or repayment terms. You may see this as an advantage for you, but if you are interested in protecting the friendship, be clear that you will only borrow if the terms are fair and clear for both sides, especially the lender’s.
You should discuss repayment plans and charging interest if you're borrowing a large sum of money from a friend. Make it all clear upfront. You can write it all down and sign it as well.
Pay interest. This demonstrates your appreciation for your friend’s parting with his/her money and your seriousness in paying it back. Insist upon an amount at least along the lines of the rate for a high-yield savings account at local banks. Otherwise you’re asking for a gift.
Offer collateral. This is another way to demonstrate that you are serious about this loan and about paying it back. Offer that TV of yours that your friend envies, or those earrings she always borrows from you.
Discuss missed payment options. Be clear that you will do everything in your power to avoid missing a payment, but have a clear plan in place if it does occur. The alternatives can be as formal as a penalty or increased interest rate, or as informal as offering to do your friend’s laundry or mow the lawn for a month.
1-3. Put it in writing.
Even in today’s increasingly paperless world, nothing legitimizes a transaction like a signed piece of paper. Draw up a document to which you can both refer regarding terms, conditions, and procedures.
If you want to draw up a more formal promissory note, there are guides like this linked wikiHow article available online.
If you’re really serious, consider having the document notarized. It doesn’t cost much, and likely makes the document legally binding in your state.
If you’d prefer a less formal document, even an email or handwritten sheet with clearly defined amounts, repayment plans, interest rates, collateral, and penalties is enough to give each side additional comfort and confidence in the transaction.
1-4. Be clear regarding business investments.
If the loan is related to a business venture you are starting or currently operate, be particularly clear on the nature of this money transaction.
Is this just a loan, or an equity investment? Does this offer any involvement in the business, or share of any profits (or losses, or risks)?
If you don’t want your friend involved in the business, don’t give them reason to think they should be, by making the nature of the loan clear. Alternatively, don’t get them unwittingly involved in a failed business venture.
2. Keeping Friends and Funds
2-1. Choose the right friend.
You probably have at least a couple of friends from which to choose when asking for a loan, and you might think that the one with the most money is the best option. The personality of the friend and your relationship with him/her is at least as important as his/her bank account, however.
Borrow from a friend you know well, trust, and with whom you can communicate comfortably about any range of topics. Remember, money can make for awkward conversations, so having a comfort level with uncomfortable discussions will be to your benefit.
2-2. Don’t negotiate.
Even if you are a haggler by nature, now is not the time to extract your best possible deal. Show deference and gratitude toward the friend who is being generous enough to offer you assistance, and you’ll reduce the risk of bitterness later.
Be clear about the amount of money you need, but present a range of loan options, and take what they offer (or leave it). $2,000 when you need $10,000 is better than nothing, and is also probably better than losing a friend by pressing too hard for more.
Refuse the terms politely instead of working for a deal to your liking. Yes, it is going to be awkward to ask a friend for money and then say “no thanks.” But, that is a wound more likely to heal than making a friend feel taken advantage of through loan conditions with which he or she is uncomfortable. It is better to say that you want to consider all your options again.
2-3. Take no for an answer.
Yes, this is an offshoot of the “no negotiating” advice, but worthy of its own billing. Do not press an unwilling, or even hesitant friend to lend you money.
Pressuring a friend to lend money is taking advantage of that friend, and taking advantage of a friend is one of the best ways to lose a friend.
Even beyond the damage to your friendship caused by pressuring him/her, you are likely to find yourself offered less advantageous loan terms that you will in turn feel pressured to accept. Just move on to the next friend on your “ask list.”
2-4. Make repayment your priority.
You owe it to your friend, your friendship, and yourself to take this loan seriously and make every effort to pay it back on time and in full.
Set aside funds each month (or other established time frame) for your payment. Seal the cash in a marked envelope, have money taken directly from your paycheck into an account, set up an auto-pay system, do whatever it takes to make sure that money gets into the lender’s hands each month.
Pay the loan off early, even only by a bit, if possible. This is a way to earn a few extra points in the friendship.
2-5. Keep your social and financial relationships separate whenever possible.
Don’t bring up the loan at a party or other social gathering, and ask your friend to do the same if it becomes an issue. Discuss it privately and separately to help avoid conflating your friendship with what is essentially a financial transaction.
Don’t use this as an excuse to avoid talking to your friend/lender about a missed payment, though. Be forthright and clear about your difficulties and options for dealing with them; just do it in the proper context. Contact them, don’t make them ask you for that late payment.
If friendship is your priority, treat your friend with the respect he/she deserves. Be open and honest, in loans as in life.
3. Considering Other Options
3-1. Closely examine your financial situation.
Anytime you feel the need to ask for a loan, be it from a buddy or the bank, first closely consider why you are in that position and if you have other options available to you.
If low cash flow is a regular problem for you, take the time to examine your household budget and track your spending. There are numerous programs and apps that can help you with this, but a pen and paper can do the job also.
Get a clear picture of your financial situation before asking to borrow money. You may find that you have alternatives available to you; at very least, you will be better informed as to the amount you need to borrow and your ability to repay it in a timely fashion.
3-2. Look for ways to save or raise funds.
Can you cancel your cable service and buy an antenna? Cut coupons? Start mowing lawns or shoveling snow on the side? Sell your car and ride your bike or the bus to work? Consider what you can do for yourself, by yourself before involving another person, especially a friend, in your financial issues.
How to Save Money and related wikiHow articles offer many good ideas on cutting costs, including, for instance, automatically depositing funds into a savings account (akin to tax withholding); eating at home and buying groceries in bulk; saving on utilities by conserving electricity, water, etc.; negotiating your rent payment down or finding more affordable housing; and finding cheap/free entertainment options (hiking, community events, etc.). If you want to afford larger purchases in the future, make sure to always save a little money from your paycheck into your savings
Likewise, How to Get Money Quickly Without Borrowing It advises options like taking odd jobs, selling non-essential items online or at a yard sale, and participating in surveys and research studies.
3-3. Exhaust other loan options first.
Rather than your first option, you may find that it is best to make borrowing from a friend your last option. There are risks involved in any kind of borrowing, but you can at least remove destroying a close friendship as one of them.
You may be concerned by the high interest rates, many restrictions, and lack of flexibility you presume you will find with a financial institution. Give banks a look, however; they offer many types of loans and lines of credit that may serve your needs quite well. Also, paying back a bank loan is a good way to build your credit rating.
There are numerous peer-to-peer lending websites out there, which offer you the ability to borrow from (or lend to) other people directly, usually (but not necessarily) anonymously. Do your homework in choosing your intermediary site and your lender, however.
If you have a specific project, plan, or goal in mind for the money, you can also consider establishing a crowdfunding campaign online.
3-4. Open your eyes to the potential pitfalls.
It can be hard to imagine things going sour with a good friend over some money, but it can happen quite easily. Indeed, some advise that unless you are willing to lose the person as a friend, don’t consider borrowing money from them.
It is estimated that at least 89 billion dollars per year (a 2008 estimate) is borrowed from friends and family in the U.S., and while 95% of Americans say they have lent money to friends or family, 43% of those say they have not been repaid in full.
Money may or may not be the root of all evil, as the old saying goes, but it can easily foster suspicion, jealousy, selfishness, and impulsiveness, among other attitudes that have contributed to the destruction of countless partnerships, marriages, and friendships.
3-5. Ask for advice or help before money.
Friends want to help friends, which is why they may agree to lend money against their better judgment. Give them the chance to help you in other ways first, before putting them in the usually-awkward position of having to decide whether or not to become a lender.
Odds are, your friend has been in a financial pinch at some point, so ask him/her for tips on cutting costs or saving more efficiently.
Alternatively, might your friend be able to offer any job leads or money-making opportunities? Ask and see.
Let your friend see that you value his/her opinions and have explored all options before asking for money.
Tips
Be prepared for your friend to say no. Your friend may not be able to loan you as much money as you need or may worry that lending you money will put your friendship at risk. Whatever the reason, your friend has a right to turn you down. Try to have a backup plan for getting the money you need.
If you find that you just can't make the monthly payments, see if your friend will change the terms of the loan. You might be able to pay smaller amounts over a longer period of time. It's better to get the amount and time period right the first time, so make sure you know what you can afford. You should be even more certain of how much you can pay over how much time if you're asking your friend to modify the loan. You don't want to have to ask for another modification a few months later.
Warnings
Don't avoid your friend if you miss a payment. While explaining that you can't pay at the time you agreed upon isn't fun, avoiding the problem is only going to make it worse. You're putting your friend into the awkward position of having to track you down and remind you that a payment is due. If you don't offer an explanation, your friend may assume that you're just trying to get away with not paying what you owe. Communication breakdowns can ruin your friendship, so talk to your friend, even if it's hard to do.
Keep your spending under control. Unless you said otherwise when you asked for the loan, your friend loaned you this money for necessities, not so you can continue to buy everything you want. If you go to the occasional movie or dinner out and you're still making all of your payments on time, your friend probably won't get upset. But if you're buying a lot of high priced items or going out to eat all the time and you've already missed a payment or two, your friend may feel used and will at least think twice about lending you any more money.
Don't lie. Be as honest as you can about why you need the loan or why you can't make a payment. If your friend finds out that you lied, it's very likely that the friendship will end.

Communication breakdowns can ruin your friendship, so talk to your friend, even if it's hard to do.\\nKeep your spending under control. Unless you said otherwise when you asked for the loan, your friend loaned you this money for necessities, not so you can continue to buy everything you want. If you go to the occasional movie or dinner out and you're still making all of your payments on time, your friend probably won't get upset. But if you're buying a lot of high priced items or going out to eat all the time and you've already missed a payment or two, your friend may feel used and will at least think twice about lending you any more money.\\nDon't lie. Be as honest as you can about why you need the loan or why you can't make a payment. If your friend finds out that you lied, it's very likely that the friendship will end.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Borrowing money from a friend seems like it should be easier and more flexible than trying to get a bank loan. However, adding money to a friendship can be a recipe for disaster if done hastily. Before asking your buddy for a loan, consider whether this is your best option, treat the process with care, and do what it takes to keep both your cash flow and friendship in a good place.\", \"结构\": {\"方法\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Legitimizing the Transaction\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Take it seriously.\", \"描述\": \"Maybe you don’t have to put on a suit or sit opposite someone behind a big desk like at the bank, but taking out a loan from a friend should not be treated as a trivial matter. Lending and borrowing money is a big deal and should be treated as such.\\nMixing money and friendship can cause problems, but if it's something sporadic or an emergency, it shouldn't be an issue.\\nIf you need help and there are people out there that care for you and are willing to help, that's great. Just make sure you're not using them.\\nMake a presentation or pitch as to why you need the money. No, you probably don’t need to fire up a PowerPoint on the projector, but provide your friend with a clear idea of your intentions for the money. You’re taking advantage of (and thus unduly risking) your friendship if you expect “because I just need it” to be a sufficient rationale for your loan.\\nBe realistic about the amount you need to borrow and your ability to repay it. Do your homework beforehand on precisely how much you need to repair your car, move out of your crummy apartment; take a class to improve your job prospects, etc. And don’t expect “I’ll pay it back as soon as I can” to be enough; project a repayment schedule and time frame.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Insist upon legitimate terms.\", \"描述\": \"A friend will probably want to (or at least feel obligated to) take it easy on you and be lax about any interest owed, collateral, or repayment terms. You may see this as an advantage for you, but if you are interested in protecting the friendship, be clear that you will only borrow if the terms are fair and clear for both sides, especially the lender’s.\\nYou should discuss repayment plans and charging interest if you're borrowing a large sum of money from a friend. Make it all clear upfront. You can write it all down and sign it as well.\\nPay interest. This demonstrates your appreciation for your friend’s parting with his/her money and your seriousness in paying it back. Insist upon an amount at least along the lines of the rate for a high-yield savings account at local banks. Otherwise you’re asking for a gift.\\nOffer collateral. This is another way to demonstrate that you are serious about this loan and about paying it back. Offer that TV of yours that your friend envies, or those earrings she always borrows from you.\\nDiscuss missed payment options. Be clear that you will do everything in your power to avoid missing a payment, but have a clear plan in place if it does occur. The alternatives can be as formal as a penalty or increased interest rate, or as informal as offering to do your friend’s laundry or mow the lawn for a month.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Put it in writing.\", \"描述\": \"Even in today’s increasingly paperless world, nothing legitimizes a transaction like a signed piece of paper. Draw up a document to which you can both refer regarding terms, conditions, and procedures.\\nIf you want to draw up a more formal promissory note, there are guides like this linked wikiHow article available online.\\nIf you’re really serious, consider having the document notarized. It doesn’t cost much, and likely makes the document legally binding in your state.\\nIf you’d prefer a less formal document, even an email or handwritten sheet with clearly defined amounts, repayment plans, interest rates, collateral, and penalties is enough to give each side additional comfort and confidence in the transaction.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Be clear regarding business investments.\", \"描述\": \"If the loan is related to a business venture you are starting or currently operate, be particularly clear on the nature of this money transaction.\\nIs this just a loan, or an equity investment?

Show deference and gratitude toward the friend who is being generous enough to offer you assistance, and you’ll reduce the risk of bitterness later.\\nBe clear about the amount of money you need, but present a range of loan options, and take what they offer (or leave it). $2,000 when you need $10,000 is better than nothing, and is also probably better than losing a friend by pressing too hard for more.\\nRefuse the terms politely instead of working for a deal to your liking. Yes, it is going to be awkward to ask a friend for money and then say “no thanks.” But, that is a wound more likely to heal than making a friend feel taken advantage of through loan conditions with which he or she is uncomfortable.

Be forthright and clear about your difficulties and options for dealing with them; just do it in the proper context.

There are numerous programs and apps that can help you with this, but a pen and paper can do the job also.\\nGet a clear picture of your financial situation before asking to borrow money.

How to Bottle Feed Calves
|
1. Feeding Your Calf from a Bottle
1-1. Purchase or gather the appropriate feeding supplies.
You'll need a two quart calf bottle with nipple and raw cow's milk or a bovine milk replacement formula, and possibly colostrum. Choose a milk replacement formula that is at least 25% protein. Other supplies can include a syringe or turkey baster, which you might find helpful in the beginning when getting the calf accustomed to the bottle.
A calf bottle that holds two quarts of liquid is all you should need.
A turkey baster or syringe can be used to introduce the calf to the milk or formula if it doesn't take the bottle initially. Squirting the milk or formula directly into the calf's mouth using the baster or syringe will help the calf realize you are feeding it. You can then try offering the bottle again
The hole on the end of the nipple should be big enough that the calf can easily nurse from the bottle, but not so big that it drinks too fast and aspirates.
1-2. Clean the calf bottle and nipple before first use and after every feeding.
Whether you are using a newly purchased calf bottle or one that was previously used to feed another calf, you'll need to thoroughly clean the bottle before using. The bottle will need to be washed again after every feeding.
To prepare for washing, remove the nipple from the bottle.
Rinse the bottle and nipple to remove any surface dirt and milk or formula.
Wash the bottle and nipple with hot water and your preferred soap or cleaning detergent.
Use a brush to thoroughly wash the inside of the bottle.
When washing the nipple, check for tears or cracks. If you notice such flaws, discard the nipple and use a new one. Cracked or torn nipples are hiding places for bacteria that can make your calf sick.
After washing the bottle and nipple, thoroughly rinse with warm water.
Allow the bottle and nipple to fully air dry before the next use. Try setting the bottle upside down on a rack so that any remaining water can fully drain off.
Keep several bottles and nipples on hand so that there is always a clean, dry bottle ready to go before each feeding.
1-3. Feed your calf colostrum during its first 24 hours of life.
Colostrum is important for all mammals at birth. It is produced in the breasts before the actual milk comes in and is filled with healthy vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and disease-fighting antibodies. Colostrum will help your calf develop a strong immune system.
Calves can obtain colostrum by nursing directly from the mother cow during the first 24 hours after birth. However, that is not always possible, particularly if the mother is used as a milk cow. In that case, if you do not have another source of bovine colostrum, a homemade colostrum replacement can be prepared for the calf. Calves should get 2–3 US quarts (2,000–3,000 ml) of colostrum as soon as possible after birth, and then 2–3 US quarts (2,000–3,000 ml) about 8 hours later.
To make a colostrum replacement, mix the following ingredients together: 1 cup of dry formula, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of powdered vitamins A, D, and E. Stir the mixture into a quart of warm water. Give this homemade colostrum replacement to the calf in a bottle during its first two feedings.
In the colostrum mixture, the eggs give shine to the calf's eyes and coat, and the honey helps prevent constipation.
Wash the bottle after each use following the instructions previously mentioned.
1-4. Prepare a bottle of bovine milk replacement formula (if not using milk).
The formula is made by mixing a scoop of dry formula with warm water. Refer to the formula package directions to determine the exact amounts of dry formula and water to mix together for one quart of liquid. Instructions might vary slightly between formula types. Keep in mind that calves under 3 weeks shouldn't have non-milk proteins.
Add the appropriate amounts of dry formula and water to the bottle, put the nipple on the bottle, and shake to mix the contents together.
Give your calf one quart of formula or milk for the first few weeks, after which time you will up the amount to two quarts.
If you have plenty of cow's milk available (preferably unpasteurized raw milk) from a milk cow, then you can use that in the calf's bottle rather than formula. Just fill up the bottle with milk and feed the calf.
Alternatives to commercial formula include dried whey protein concentrate, dried skim milk, soy protein concentrate, and modified wheat protein.
1-5. Give your calf the bottle of formula or milk.
Place the nipple of the bottle on the calf's mouth until it opens up and begins drinking. You will need to hold the bottle the entire time while the calf is drinking.
You can stand directly in the calf's enclosure when bottle feeding or simply offer the bottle through the fence. It is sometimes easier to stand next to the calf the first few times until it is used to the bottle. Once the calf is used to it, you can switch to feeding through the fence.
If your calf refuses the bottle at first, you can try introducing the formula or milk by using a syringe or turkey baster. Either method will allow you to squirt the liquid directly into the calf's mouth. You can then try offering the bottle again once the calf knows to expect nourishment.
Wash the bottle after each use following the instructions previously mentioned.
1-6. Feed your calf one quart of milk or formula in the bottle 2-3 times per day for the first two weeks.
Some calf owners bottle feed their calves just twice a day; others prefer to do so three times daily. Whether you feed your calf two or three times a day is your choice and can depend on your calf's appetite.
1-7. Give your calf two quarts of milk or formula in the bottle twice a day (after the first two weeks).
Continue feeding the calf two quarts at a time twice a day until the calf is four months old. At four months the calf should mainly be eating solid foods and be ready to wean from the bottle.
1-8. Raise two bottle fed calves together, if possible.
Cows are herd animals and do best when not alone. If you only have one calf and no other cows, sheep, goats, and even horses can make good companions for your calf. The calf can graze with the other animals when it is old enough to eat grass and solids.
If raising two calves simultaneously, you can easily feed them both at the same time by holding one bottle in each hand.
1-9. Check for aspiration.
Aspiration is when foreign bodies or liquids are breathed into the airway. Normally, your calf should drink slowly and steadily. If you see bubbles come out of its nose or hear the calf cough, stop the feeding immediately. The calf might be drinking too fast and inhaling milk into its airway. Give the animal frequent breaks to breathe and swallow.
2. Preventing Vitamin Deficiencies
2-1. Feed your calf only high quality milk replacement formula and grains.
Feeding your calf high quality food is the best way to prevent vitamin deficiencies. Formula that is at least 25% protein and fresh grains usually provide adequate amounts of the necessary vitamins and minerals calves need to remain healthy.
2-2. Provide vitamin A supplements if your calf shows signs of a deficiency.
Younger calves are most susceptible to vitamin A deficiency because they have not yet built up a reserve supply of vitamins in their bodies.
If your calf has a loss of appetite, rapid breathing, joint swelling, and even weight loss, it might be deficient in vitamin A. Consult a vet who treats cows and calves before starting any treatment.
To correct a vitamin A deficiency, administer a shot of vitamin A or add powdered vitamins to its bottle.
Grains that have gotten wet or moldy lose some of their vitamin content and might not offer enough nutrition. Replace with fresh grains immediately.
Calves that are deficient in one mineral like vitamin D are often deficient in others, like vitamin E, copper, manganese, selenium, or zinc.
2-3. Prevent vitamin D deficiency by providing alfalfa and allowing calves time in the sun daily.
Vitamin D helps calves absorb both calcium and phosphorus, which keeps their bones strong. A vitamin D deficiency can lead to the development of rickets.
Regularly provide alfalfa that has been cured in the sun to prevent rickets in young calves.
Allow the calf time outside in the sun whenever possible for additional vitamin D exposure.
2-4. Add finely ground limestone to the calf's grain to correct calcium deficiency.
If you observe your calf chewing on rocks, wood, or other similar substances, that could be a sign of calcium deficiency. Adding limestone to the grain is a simple way to increase your calf's calcium intake.
For every ton of grain, add 40 pounds of finely ground limestone.
Continue adding limestone only for as long as your calf shows signs of a calcium deficiency.
2-5. Observe your calf's behavior for signs of possible magnesium deficiency.
Cows get magnesium from eating grains. Calves who are bottle fed only milk or milk replacement formula without the addition of grains at the right time, can become magnesium deficient.
Signs of magnesium deficiency include nervousness, irritability, and loss of appetite.
To correct a magnesium deficiency, feed the calf more grains. Good choices include alfalfa, pasture grass, hay, wheat bran, soybean meal, and even legumes.
3. Weaning Your Calf off the Bottle
3-1. Introduce alfalfa and fresh water after the first week of life.
The calf might not show much interest in anything but the bottle at first, but it is important to keep fresh water and alfalfa nearby. The calf will soon become curious and begin nibbling at the alfalfa and sipping the water.
A salt or mineral lick should also be provided. You can find these easily at feed stores.
3-2. Give the calf starter pellets after two weeks.
This will help your calf get used to eating solid foods. The pellets can be purchased from a feed store.
Continue providing pellets for the calf until it is eight weeks old.
Fresh water and alfalfa should still be provided, as well as the salt lick.
If the calf is reluctant to eat the pellets, try putting a few in its mouth right after bottle feeding.
3-3. Mix starter pellets with ground feed after eight weeks.
Once the calf is two months old you can diversify its solid food by adding ground feed to the starter pellets. Continue giving the calf pellets mixed with ground feed from eight to twelve weeks of age.
Ground feed can be purchased from a feed store or you can make your own.
To make your own ground feed, mix equal parts of ground corn, wheat bran, and oats with a bit of powdered molasses.
Initially, just mix in a small amount of ground feed until the calf gets used to it. The, gradually increase the amount of ground feed as you reduce the amount of pellets.
The calf should be fed two pounds of the pellet and ground feed mixture daily.
Continue providing water, alfalfa, and salt. You can also let the calf begin grazing on green pasture grass rather than give it alfalfa.
3-4. Limit bottle feedings to once a day between 12 and 16 weeks of age and allow the calf to graze regularly.
At this point, the calf should be given two quarts of formula or milk by bottle just once a day. Let the calf pasture graze daily.
Continue providing ground feed or grains, fresh water, and salt.
At this point, you can choose to offer ground feed or grains without any starter pellets.
3-5. Wean from the bottle completely by four months.
At four months of age, the calf should be getting enough nutrition from the grains and alfalfa or pasture grass to no longer need bottles of formula or milk. You can stop giving the calf the bottle at this point. Be sure to provide enough grains (ground feed) daily based on the calf's weight and allow it out to pasture daily.
Tips
Purchase only high quality bovine milk replacement formula that is at least 25% protein.
Keep several bottles on hand so that one is always clean and dry before each feeding.
When introducing pellets to your calf, try placing a few directly in its mouth immediately after bottle feeding.
Warnings
Feeding your calf only milk or formula for too long without introducing grains can result in vitamin deficiencies.

How to Bottle Feed a Baby Lamb
|
1. Preparing the Formula
1-1. See a vet.
If you need to bottle feed your lamb, you likely found a lamb orphaned or had one of your ewes reject a lamb. You should take the lamb to the vet's first before attempting to treat the lamb yourself. The vet will be able to tell you exactly what the lamb needs in terms of care and help you find the proper milk and colostrum replacers to feed your lamb and assure she gets all the vitamins and minerals she needs.
1-2. Obtain colostrum replacer.
Colostrum is the first type of milk a ewe produces after giving birth. It's vital to the health and well-being of a lamb.
Colostrum is important because it contains high levels of nutrients and also protects against a variety of infectious agents. Lambs do not carry antibodies at birth, so they need colostrum to help them develop antibodies and combat potential infections.
Lambs should receive 10% of their body weight in colostrum after birth. That means a 10-pound lamb should consume 1 pound of colostrum during the first 24 hours of life. If your lamb has been abandoned or rejected by her mother, get her colostrum replacer as soon as possible. In fact, if you raise lambs, it's a good idea to have colostrum replacer on hand at all times in the event of an emergency.
Colostrum replacer should be sold at most places that sell livestock feed and equipment.
1-3. Buy lamb milk replacer.
Your lamb will need milk replacer for roughly the first 13 weeks of life.
Lamb milk replacer can also be purchased at a store that sells livestock feed. Once opened, keep it in a sealed gallon jar. Placing a few bay leaves on top of the jar can prevent insect infestations.
Make sure the milk replacer is specifically for lambs. Do not try to substitute milk replacer with products for cows as these have different nutrients and vitamins and will not keep a lamb healthy.
1-4. Make your own formula, if necessary.
If you cannot find milk replacer or colostrum replacer, you can make your own at home. It's recommended you try to find store bought brands first, as they're more likely to have the proper nutrients, so only resort to homemade products as a last resort.
Colostrum replacer can be made by mixing 740 milliliters of cow's milk, one beaten egg, a teaspoon of cod liver oil, and a teaspoon of glucose together. It can also be made with 600 milliliters of cow's milk, a teaspoon of castor oil, and one beaten egg.
Milk formula can be made with a teaspoon of butter, a teaspoon of dark corn syrup, a can of evaporated milk, and oral and liquid baby lamb vitamins you can purchase at a feed store.
1-5. Prepare the bottle.
A lamb should be fed with an 8-ounce baby bottle with a rubber nipple.
Initially, you should fill the bottle with 10% of the baby lamb's weight in colostrum and feed this to the lamb within its first 24 hours. Feed the lamb every two hours, if possible, during this timeframe.
After the initial colostrum feeding, your lamb will need 140 milliliters of milk replacer. Measure out the proper amount into the bottle and heat the bottle until it's warm to the touch but not scalding, much like you would heat a baby's bottle.
Sterilize the bottles and nipples regularly with Milton sterilizing solution or a baby's steam sterilizer. Any milk residue is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. Do not use bleach because it will ruin the nipples.
2. Feeding the Lamb
2-1. Form a feeding schedule.
Once you get past the initial 24 hour period, you should set and follow a feeding schedule for your lamb.
For the first 24 hours after receiving the colostrum, lambs should be fed 140 milliliters every four hours. After this, feed your lamb 200 milliliters four times a day. Your lamb should still be fed about every four hours. Keep track of what times you feed your lamb and make sure to get a feeding in at the proper intervals.
Once 2 weeks pass, you can begin gradually upping the amount of milk you feed your lamb.
As previously stated, heat the milk replacer first so it is warm to the touch without being scalding.
2-2. Hold the lamb's head up, allowing her to stand, and let her feed.
Once you have the milk measured and prepared, you can feed your lamb.
Lambs should feed standing up. Do not cuddle or hold your lamb while bottle feeding as this could result in a clot in her lung.
Most lambs will suckle instinctively. If your lamb is not suckling, pressing the bottle's nipple against her lips should encourage her to feed.
2-3. Add fresh water, hay, and grass after the first week.
After a week of bottle feeding with colostrum and then milk, your lamb should have some solid foods in her diet.
Give the lamb fresh water, hay, and grass. Let her eat and drink as she desires.
If she's strong enough, let her out to graze with the rest of the flock so she can begin socializing with other sheep.
2-4. Increase the feeding amount every two weeks.
You should increase the amount of milk your lamb gets as she grows.
After two weeks of feeding her 200 milliliters four times a day, gradually build her up to 500 ml four times a day.
After another two weeks, gradually increase the feeding amount to 700 ml a day three times a day.
After 5 or 6 weeks, begin decreasing the amount of milk. Cut back to 500 milliliters (16.9 fl oz) two times a day.
2-5. Make sure your lamb is weaned off milk by 13 weeks.
By the time your lamb is 13 weeks old, she should be completely free of milk and transitioned into a diet of hay, feed, grass, and water. Make sure you keep track of time and stick on your schedule to gradually decrease feedings starting at 5 to 6 weeks.
3. Preventing Problems
3-1. Monitor a lamb after a meal to make sure she's gotten enough to eat.
You need to make sure your lamb is not being over or under fed. There are several ways to make sure a lamb has received an adequate meal.
At the end of a meal, a lamb's sides should be straight from the hips to the rib. This is ideal, as it means your lamb has had an appropriate amount of food.
If you notice your lamb's sides are puffed out after feeding, reduce the amount of milk in the next meal as you likely overfed her.
3-2. Take measures to prevent hypothermia.
Lambs are often bottle fed because they're orphaned or abandoned. If a lamb cannot rely on the body heat of a flock, her body heat might become dangerously low and hypothermia could result. There are measures you can take to prevent hypothermia.
A lamb in the beginning states of hypothermia will appear weak, gaunt, and will probably be hunched over. A rectal thermometer can be used to confirm a low body heat. A normal lamb will have a body heat of 102-103 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything lower than this can be a sign of a problem.
Wrap your lamb in a towel to warm her. You can also use a hair dryer to warm a lamb. You can also buy a lamb jacket, a device meant to stay on a lamb's body overnight. Heat lamps are not advised as they can cause fires in a barn.
Keep your barn free of drafts, especially in the winter months.
3-3. Guard against pneumonia.
Pneumonia is a common problem in lambs, especially those that need to be bottle fed as they do not always get the proper antibodies to fight off bacteria even with colostrum replacers.
Pneumonia is marked by respiratory problems, an increased heart rate, and fever. Lambs suffering from pneumonia might not want to nurse.
Drafts and dampness are the primary causes of pneumonia. Keep a clean, dry barn free of drafts to prevent pneumonia in your lambs.
If your lamb develops pneumonia, get antibiotics from a veterinarian and administer them as soon as possible.

1. Preparing a Bottle
1-1. Start with a slow-flow nipple when your baby is very small.
Very young newborns in the first days are more easily able to choke when they’re eating. Start with the lowest number level of nipple available with the bottles you have. As your baby gets older, you can increase the flow speed to suit their preference.
1-2. Wash your hands before preparing a bottle.
Rinse your hands under warm running water in a sink. Apply hand soap to your hands and rub the soap between your hands and fingers for 20 seconds. Rinse the soap from your hands completely, and dry them on a clean towel.
1-3. Mix your formula powder with clean water according to package instructions.
If you’re using formula, read the package instructions on mixing the formula powder with water, and follow the instructions exactly. Do not use more formula powder than what is called for in the instructions; doing so can give your baby painful gas or cause them to become dangerously dehydrated.
Breastmilk is the healthiest option for feeding your newborn. If you are able to breastfeed your baby or pump expressed milk to feed them in a bottle, you should do so. If you are unable to breastfeed, pump your breastmilk, or purchase donated breastmilk, infant formula is the only safe alternative for feeding your baby.
Do not feed an infant under 6 months old cow’s milk, other animal milk, or milk alternatives such as soy milk. Breastmilk and infant formulas are the only safe milks for babies under 6 months.
Be sure that you have clean, safe drinking water to use for your formula.
1-4. Warm cold breastmilk in a bottle warmer or pan of warm water.
If you are using expressed breastmilk to feed your baby, they may prefer it to be warmed if it has been refrigerated or thawed from the freezer. Warm a pan of water on the stove until it is warm but not boiling, then remove it from the heat. Place the bottle of milk in the pan and allow it to warm until it’s no higher than 100 °F (38 °C). You can use a clean food thermometer to check the temperature if you like.
Do not warm your bottle directly on the stove, use a microwave, or let the milk get higher than 100 °F (38 °C). Doing so increases the risk of burning your baby’s mouth.
It is safe to feed your baby cold or room temperature breastmilk. Many parents warm breastmilk after it’s been refrigerated or frozen to make it closer to the temperature of milk during breastfeeding, and because their babies prefer it, but it is not necessary to warm it.
There are commercial bottle warmers available for sale that you can use if you prefer. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on using it if you have one.
1-5. Test the flow and temperature of your milk or formula on your arm.
Place the nipple and cap securely on your bottle. Turn the bottle upside down and allow a few drops of milk or formula to come out onto your forearm. Check that the drops feel cool or warm but not hot, and that they flow steadily from the bottle in continuous drips.
If you have to squeeze the nipple or shake the bottle to get drops to come out, the hole may be blocked. Check the nipple hole to be sure it is clean and unobstructed.
If the milk or formula seems to pour out of the nipple, the hole may be damaged. Replace the nipple with a new, sterilized nipple before feeding your infant.
It's much better to give your baby breastmilk or formula that's cooler than to burn their tongues with breastmilk or formula that's too hot.
1-6. Sterilize your bottle and nipple daily.
There are several ways to sterilize bottles, but you can submerge your bottle, nipple, and any other pieces in boiling water for 5 minutes as a simple method. You can also use the sanitize setting on your dishwasher.
Check the manufacturer’s label about the safety of sterilizing plastic bottles. Some plastics contain chemicals that should not be exposed to high heat. Many parents choose glass bottles for this reason.
You should sterilize anything going into your newborn’s mouth once per day until their immune system becomes stronger after a few months. You can clean the bottles with regular dish soap and water between sterilizations. Talk with your baby’s pediatrician about when you can decrease how often you sterilize bottles.
2. Feeding Your Baby
2-1. Feed your baby when they show hunger cues.
Newborns show that they are hungry by moving their heads from side to side, opening their mouths, sticking out their tongues, sucking on their fingers or fists, or trying to suck on anything that comes near their cheek. Crying is actually a late hunger cue, and it’s best to try to feed your baby before they are crying because it’s easier to calm them down to eat.
Babies sometimes fuss or cry for reasons other than hunger. If your baby is fussing or crying just an hour after a good feeding, they may need a diaper change, be tired, bored, overstimulated, or too hot or too cold. You can check these other things before trying to feed them again.
2-2. Hold your baby in a semi-upright position and support their head.
When it’s time to feed your baby, sit in a comfortable chair and hold them with their head in the crook of your arm and your hand down around their bottom. Their head should be comfortably above their belly. This is called the cradle position
Never feed your baby when they’re lying flat on their back. This can cause them to choke or cause them to get ear infections.
You can also hold your baby on your lap and let their head rest against your chest when you feed them. Just be sure to support their head with your hands and reposition them if they start to slide down off your chest. This position works well for babies that have reflux because they are more upright.
2-3. Place the nipple against your baby’s lower lip to prompt them to open their mouth.
If your baby is hungry, they will open their mouths to accept something that’s placed on their lower lip. Gently place the bottle nipple against their lower lip.
If your baby turns their head away, they may not be hungry at this time, or they may be too uncomfortable to eat right now. Check for other reasons that they are fussing or crying, such as their diaper, before trying to feed them again.
2-4. Tilt the bottle to keep the nipple full of milk or formula.
As you feed your baby, you want the nipple to stay full so that your baby doesn’t suck air. Keep the bottle tilted with the bottom pointed up while it’s in your baby’s mouth.
2-5. Allow your baby to draw the nipple into their mouth and suck.
As you bring the nipple up into your baby’s open mouth, they will latch onto it and start to suck and swallow. This is their natural response when they are hungry. When they start to slow their sucking and swallowing, bring the nipple partially out of their mouth and allow them to draw it back in again.
Allowing your baby to draw the nipple back into their mouth throughout the feeding is called “pacing” the feeding, and it simulates the starting and stopping of milk flow during breastfeeding. Your baby will eagerly draw the nipple back into their mouth as you move it away if they are still hungry.
If they become upset at having the nipple moved out of their mouth, you can tilt the bottle downward momentarily to slow or stop the flow of liquid. Tilt the bottle back up as your baby starts sucking again so they suck less air.
2-6. Look into your baby’s eyes and cuddle them or talk to them while feeding.
To add to the feeding experience and bond with your baby, you can talk to them, cuddle them, and look into their eyes while they drink. They will look forward to feeding moments not only to satisfy their hunger, but as a way to spend time feeling loved by you.
At night time, to encourage your baby to go back to sleep, you may want to decrease how much you talk to them during feeding. You can cuddle and look at them, but try to keep other interactions to a minimum. It is also helpful to keep the lights off or dim during night feedings.
2-7. Follow your baby’s lead for how much and how often to feed them.
Little babies differ from one another in how much and how often they need to eat. In general, a formula-fed newborn will eat 2–4 fl oz (59–118 mL) of formula 6-8 times every 24 hours up until 2 months old. Babies who drink expressed breastmilk may need to eat more often, as breastmilk is metabolized faster than formula.
Don’t worry if your baby doesn’t want to finish a bottle, or if they want more after they finish a bottle. Sometimes they’ll want to eat less, and sometimes they’ll have a growth spurt and need more. The suggested feeding amount is a general guideline, and if they are drinking between 12–32 fl oz (350–950 mL) of milk within 24 hours, they are eating enough.
The amount your baby eats will increase at 2 months old to approximately 5–6 fl oz (150–180 mL) of formula 5-6 times per day, or 25–36 fl oz (740–1,060 mL) in 24 hours. At 3-5 months old, the amount increases again to 6–7 fl oz (180–210 mL) 5-6 times per day. Again, babies drinking expressed breastmilk may need to eat more frequently.
2-8. Wake your baby every few hours to eat during their first few weeks of life.
Tiny babies have tiny tummies, and they also like to sleep a lot: to ensure proper weight gain during their first month, you may need to wake your baby if they are sleeping for long chunks of time. Wake a breastfed baby every 3-4 hours and a formula-fed baby every 4-5 hours to eat until they are 1 month old.
After 1 month, as long as your baby is gaining weight well, you do not need to wake them up to feed them.
If your baby’s doctor is concerned about your baby’s lack of weight gain, follow their recommendations for feedings.
2-9. Throw away any unused formula or breastmilk from each feeding after 1 hour.
When your baby seems finished eating, you can try burping them again to see if they’ll eat more after a burp. If they still are uninterested in eating more, you can keep the bottle for 1 hour after you started the feed in case they want more within the hour. When the hour is up, throw away the milk or formula away by pouring it down the sink drain.
Don’t store a leftover bottle for future use longer than 1 hour. It can become contaminated quickly after it’s been sucked on. Throw the milk away and wash the bottle before you use it again.
3. Burping Your Baby
3-1. Set the bottle down and try to burp every 2–3 fl oz (59–89 mL) of consumed milk.
Bottle-fed infants suck a lot more air during a feed than infants eating from a breast, so it’s important to burp them frequently during a feed. Burping them throughout the feed makes them more comfortable and more likely to finish their bottle.
Try to burp your baby at least after every 2–3 fl oz (59–89 mL) of milk or formula they drink, or more frequently if they seem squirmy, fussy, or otherwise uncomfortable.
3-2. Drape your baby over your shoulder.
To burp your newborn, hold them with their head high up and resting over your shoulder, supporting their head the whole time. Holding them this high places slight pressure on their tummy and eases the air out through a burp.
3-3. Firmly pat or rub their back.
To help your baby’s burp come out, put some pressure on their back by patting or rubbing it. Your baby will be calmed by the repetitive patting or rubbing, and more likely to burp.
3-4. Resume feeding after a couple minutes even if your baby doesn’t burp.
If your baby hasn’t finished their bottle, you can try feeding them again after about 2 minutes of trying to burp them whether they actually burp or not. If they are not interested in eating more but seem fussy, you can try burping them again or check to see if they need a diaper change. If they seem content but uninterested in eating, they are probably full and have finished eating for this feed.
Warnings
Do not leave your baby alone and prop up a bottle or let them hold a bottle by themselves. Babies can choke on the milk. Always supervise your baby and hold the bottle for them.

How to Bottle Feed an Orphaned Fawn
|
1. Providing Immediate Assistance
1-1. Leave a healthy-looking fawn alone unless you’re sure it needs help.
Just because you see a fawn by itself at the edge of the woods, that does not mean it’s an orphan that needs your help. In most cases, the fawn’s mother is likely hiding nearby, and you’ll do more harm than good by trying to provide unnecessary assistance.
If you know the fawn’s mother is deceased—for instance, because you see its body nearby—or the fawn is visibly injured or very frail-looking, then you can assume it is an orphan in need.
If you’re not sure, and you’re able to observe the fawn, keep an eye on it regularly for at least 6 hours. If you never see the mother during this time, it’s increasingly likely that the fawn is an orphan.
1-2. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator before taking action.
Unless the fawn is in immediate danger, take a few minutes to get in touch with a professional wildlife rehabilitator before you do anything. They can guide you through the best way to respond (or not respond), and may ask for you to wait for them to arrive.
To find a wildlife rehabilitator in your area, call your government’s department for the environment, natural resources, and/or wildlife, or use websites such as https://ahnow.org/#/ and https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/how-find-wildlife-rehabilitator.
If the fawn is standing on a busy roadway, for example, take action before calling the wildlife rehabilitator.
1-3. Use a heavy blanket to transport the fawn to a safe, warm location.
If the wildlife rehabilitator advises you to leave the fawn in place, do so. Otherwise, wrap a heavy blanket over the fawn’s shoulders and legs and carefully pick it up. Even small fawns can pack a powerful kick, so hold it securely!
If you’re near home, for example, you might carry it to your garage.
It’s not advisable to put a fawn into a vehicle unless: you have no other way to get it to an animal rehabilitator, the rehabilitator recommends it, and your vehicle has ample space inside.
1-4. Pick up the feeding supplies you’ll need.
Don’t try to use baby bottles, and especially not cow’s milk, to feed a fawn. And don’t try to bottle-feed the fawn at all unless specifically directed to do so by the wildlife rehabilitator. You’ll need the following supplies, many of which you’re most likely to find at a feed store or other retailer that services the farming industry:
Goat/lamb bottle-feeding nipples, which usually will fit onto plastic water bottles (if not, get feeding bottles as well).
Goat or wildlife milk replacer (which you add to water), or goat’s milk. Do not use cow’s milk.
Pediatric electrolyte drink (e.g., Pedialyte) for dehydration in children (you can get this at any drugstore or grocery store).
2. Hydrating a Fawn by Bottle
2-1. Add 2–4 fl oz (59–118 ml) of a pediatric electrolyte drink to a bottle.
If, when the fawn is standing, its shoulder is roughly even with your knee, it will likely drink this amount per feeding. If it’s an older, larger fawn (up to around your waist), increase the amount to 4–6 fl oz (120–180 ml).
A wildlife rehabilitator--who you should contact before offering any care--will probably tell you to provide electrolytes for hydration before giving the fawn any milk. If they give you different advice, however, trust their expertise and follow their directions.
Use an empty, clean water bottle, soda bottle, or similar bottle that a goat/lamb feeding nipple fits onto.
Any flavor of pediatric electrolyte drink will work.
2-2. Warm the bottle until the drink is roughly body temperature.
Place the filled bottle into a mug or bowl of hot tap water for 5-10 minutes, until the liquid inside the bottle is approximately 98–100 °F (37–38 °C). You don’t have to precisely measure the temperature, though—if the bottle feels warm to the touch but isn’t uncomfortable to hold, it should be fine for feeding.
Don’t place the bottle in boiling or near-boiling water to heat it faster, as this can damage the nutrients in whatever liquid is inside—in this case, pediatric electrolyte solution, but also goat’s milk or milk replacer.
2-3. Dribble some liquid on the fawn’s lips to encourage it to drink.
Face the fawn and bring the bottle down at an angle from above. Touch the bottle nipple to its lips and squeeze gently to drip some of the liquid between the lips. This usually spurs the fawn to latch on to the nipple and start sucking.
If the fawn is too weak to feed or otherwise refuses, let the wildlife rehabilitator know.
2-4. Hold the bottle high so the fawn has to look up to drink.
Keep the bottle raised up so the fawn has to extend its neck and mouth to reach it. This might appear uncomfortable, but it’s the natural feeding position for a fawn. Allow it to feed until the bottle is empty or it loses interest in continuing.
2-5. Pinch the skin between the fawn’s shoulder blades to check for hydration.
About 1 hour after giving it the first bottle of pediatric electrolyte drink, use 2 fingers to pinch the skin between its shoulder blades. If the skin drops immediately when you let go, the fawn is adequately hydrated. If the skin remains pinched up briefly after you let go, the fawn is still dehydrated.
This is called a “skin turgor” test and is useful in checking for dehydration in many kinds of animals.
Conduct this test only if advised to do so by the wildlife rehabilitator. If they'll be arriving soon to evaluate the deer, they may want to conduct the test.
2-6. Give additional electrolyte bottles if directed by the wildlife rehabilitator.
Based on the results of the "skin turgor" test, the wildlife rehabilitator may request that you give the fawn one or more additional bottles of pediatric electrolyte solution. If so, you'll likely be advised to give a bottle every 1-2 hours, and to conduct the skin turgor test in between each bottle.
Once the fawn is adequately hydrated (based on the skin turgor test), the wildlife rehabilitator may ask you to start feeding the fawn goat's milk or a milk replacer.
3. Switching to Milk for Bottle-Feeding
3-1. Warm 2–4 fl oz (59–118 ml) of goat’s milk or milk replacer in the bottle.
If you’re using goat’s milk, just pour it into the bottle. With milk replacer, you’ll need to measure and add the powder to the amount of water in the bottle, screw on the goat/lamb nipple and pinch it shut, then shake the bottle vigorously to combine.
Warm the bottle contents to body temperature by placing the bottle in a bowl of hot tap water. Hold the bottle in your hand to estimate when it reaches body temperature (a precise measurement isn't necessary).
Use 2–4 fl oz (59–118 ml) for a knee-high fawn (based on its shoulder height when standing), and 4–6 fl oz (120–180 ml) for a waist-high fawn.
Don't start giving a fawn milk unless expressly requested to do so by a wildlife rehabilitator. In most cases, they'll either advise not to offer anything by a bottle or to start with a pediatric electrolyte drink.
3-2. Feed the fawn a full bottle every 3-4 hours.
Fawns typically need to feed 6-7 times per day, so plan on spacing out feedings every 3-4 hours until the wildlife rehabilitator arrives. Approach the fawn from the front and above, dribble some of the milk between its lips so it latches on to the nipple, and hold the bottle high as it drinks.
Make sure you’re keeping the bottle elevated so the fawn has to stretch its neck and head to reach it—this replicates feeding from its mother.
If the fawn bleats for more milk right after a feeding or between feeding times, ignore it—fawns will drink until they make themselves ill if permitted to do so.
3-3. Stimulate the fawn's bowels while feeding it, if necessary.
Fawns often need help stimulating urination and defecation. If it's not urinating or defecating during or after feedings, put on rubber gloves and gently rub a baby wipe (or damp cloth you don’t mind ruining) over its anus and genitals. A bowel movement will typically follow soon after.
This maneuver replicates the bowel stimulation the mother achieves through licking.
If the fawn still isn’t defecating and urinating, or if it has diarrhea, contact the wildlife rehabilitator again.
3-4. Limit bonding by feeding fawns in groups, if possible.
Every time you feed a fawn, it will bond with you a little more and become less able to successfully return to the wild. If you happen to have more than one fawn that needs care, feeding them simultaneously—feeding 2 at a time with a bottle in each hand, for instance—will slow down the bonding process.
Think very carefully before deciding you want the fawn to bond with you and become your pet. Keeping a wild deer as a pet may be illegal where you live, and raising a fawn to adulthood requires a great deal of effort and about $500 USD in expenses.
Tips
Fawns are wild animals, not pets. Unless you are certain a fawn needs your assistance, leave it alone. It will usually live a happier and better life in the wild where it belongs.
Warnings
Contact an animal rehabilitator quickly when dealing with young fawns. They are quick to attach to a caretaker and, once imprinted, they are difficult to release back into the wild.
A fawn should not be fed cow's milk. Actually, no animal aside from a cow should be fed cow's milk. It can cause colic and is often detrimental to the animal as, unlike humans, they have not developed a tolerance to foreign milk.

How to Bottle Sauces
|
1. Bottling Sauce Using a Hot Water Bath
1-1. Wash 4 12 fluid ounces (350 mL) bottles with soap and warm water.
You’ll want to use lug cap bottles, the type with a wide neck and cap that seals upon bottling, which are available online and at wholesalers who sell canning equipment. Wash and rinse 4 of these bottles, using a bottle brush, water, and dish soap, and set them aside to dry.
If you’re unable to find lug cap bottles, you can also use 12 fluid ounces (350 mL) mason jars, they just won’t look as much like sauce bottles.
1-2. Boil the water for your water bath.
You’ll need a pot large enough to fill with water that covers the tops of the bottles by 2 inches (5.1 cm). Be sure to use a bottle rack inside the pot so that the bottoms of the bottles don’t touch the bottom of the pot directly.
When filled, your bottles will be completely submerged in boiling water for a length of time that allows the material on the inside of the bottle caps, or plastisol, to adhere to the glass tops of your bottles, creating a vacuum seal.
You can buy a water bath canning pot specifically online or from kitchen supply stores, or just use a pot from home that’s deep enough with a lid and rack.
Bottling/canning racks can be purchased online and at some kitchen supply stores. Test yours to make sure that it fits your pot before starting your bottling process.
1-3. Fill your bottles with sauce using a funnel.
Take your sauce and begin to pour it carefully through a clean funnel into your clean bottles, leaving about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the top. Check the bottles for air bubbles and lightly tap the sides and bottoms of your bottles if you see any.
If you overpour and leave less than 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the top of a bottle, carefully pour some back into the pot and try again until you have left the right amount of space at the top.
1-4. Wipe your bottle rims and cap your bottles.
Wipe any sauce from each rim with a clean, damp cloth. Screw your caps onto each bottle, but not tight enough as if you were closing a regular bottle. You want to leave the caps loose enough for venting, or allowing excess air to escape during bottling, but tight enough that the plastisol from the cap comes into contact with the glass rim.
1-5. Boil your sauce bottles for 20 minutes for altitudes under 1,000 feet (300 m).
Place your full, capped bottles into your hot water bath and bring the water the rest of the way to boiling. Once it’s boiling, set a timer for 20 minutes if you live at an altitude of 1,000 feet (300 m) or less.
For altitudes of 1,001–3,000 feet (305–914 m), boil your bottles for 25 minutes.
For altitudes of 3,001–6,000 feet (915–1,829 m), boil your bottles for 30 minutes.
For altitudes of 6,000 feet (1,800 m) and above, boil your bottles for 35 minutes.
1-6. Allow your bottles to cool for 12 to 24 hours then check the seals.
After the right amount of time has passed, remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool. You can carefully remove the bottles from the water when it’s cool enough to do so, but then leave them undisturbed for the rest of the 12 to 24 hours. To check if you got a good seal, you should see that the center of the lid is depressed and you can’t push it down.
If you didn’t get a good seal, you can still use the sauce, you just have to begin using it promptly, refrigerate it, and use it up within 1 week.
1-7. Open your sauce for use within 1 year.
Properly canned or bottled goods have a general shelf life of 1 year, meaning they can remain unopened and unrefrigerated for that amount of time. After sauces with low pH or high amounts of vinegar are opened and refrigerated, it’s best to use them within 4 months. After that, they may not be bad necessarily, but the taste can start to change.
If you don’t think you can use up all your sauce in a year, give some away as gifts to friends and family. Include a “best by” date on the bottles; they’ll love your homemade gift!
2. Cooking Homemade Barbecue Sauce
2-1. Cook your vegetables for about 30 minutes or until soft.
In a pot on the stove, cook your tomatoes, onions, celery, peppers, and garlic on medium heat. Stir them frequently to prevent them from sticking to the pot or burning.
Try cooking the vegetables with a lid on the pot for a few minutes at a time to allow the steam to help them cook down more.
2-2. Puree your cooked vegetables in a food processor.
Take your cooked vegetables and puree them in a food processor until they’re a mostly liquid mixture. Depending on the size of your food processor, you may need to puree your vegetables in parts to get them all liquified.
2-3. Cook the pureed mixture for 45 minutes.
Put this mixture back into your cooking pot and cook it on medium heat for 45 minutes, stirring it frequently to prevent burning. Your mixture will begin to cook down, or get smaller in size.
2-4. Add your remaining ingredients and cook on low heat for another 1 ½ to 2 hours.
Take your black pepper, vinegar, brown sugar, dry mustard, salt, paprika, and ground/liquid hot pepper and add them to your mixture on the stove while stirring it frequently.
After 1 ½ to 2 hours, your mixture should be cooked down to about half the size it was when you started, and about the consistency of ketchup.
3. Cooking Homemade Hot Sauce
3-1. Remove the stems and seeds from your peppers.
You don’t have to remove the seeds, but it’s an option if you’d like a smoother consistency to your sauce. Set the peppers off to the side.
Remember not to touch your eyes or face while cutting up hot peppers. Use disposable gloves, or wash your hands immediately after cutting peppers.
3-2. Puree your pears, vinegar, ginger and garlic.
Using a food processor, puree your base ingredients first and taste it. The taste should be strong, especially if you’re adding many peppers.
Use ripe pears to get a nice juicy base for your sauce.
3-3. Add peppers according to your preference.
Add 10 peppers to your mixture first, puree it, then taste it. Continue adding peppers, up to 40, depending on your heat preference. The more peppers you add, the hotter your sauce will be.
3-4. Move your mixture to a pot on the stove and boil it for 15 minutes.
Bring your sauce to a boil, and set a timer for 15 minutes. Continuously stir your mixture to prevent it from burning. Once your sauce has boiled for 15 minutes, you’re ready to start the bottling process by filling your bottles.

How to Bottlefeed Goat Kids
|
1. Assembling Your Supplies
1-1. Figure out how much food your goat needs.
Goats need different amounts of food depending on their weight. As overfeeding can cause serious health problems, determine how much to feed your goat before gathering your supplies.
Weigh your goat. If you don't have a scale yourself, you can take your goat to a livestock vet.
Convert their weight into ounces and find 10 to 12% of their total body weight.
Divide this number by four. Feed your goat that amount four times a day.
For example, say your goat weighs 96 ounces. It would need around 10 ounces of milk a day. You would feed your goat a little over three ounces of food three times a day.
1-2. Provide colostrum for very young goats.
Colostrum is the milk a mother produces when a goat is first born. In the event your young goat was rejected or abandoned by its mother, you will have provide colostrum yourself. It is difficult for a goat to survive without a steady intake of colostrum.
You need to get a baby goat colostrum within its first 24 hours of life. If you have a goat on your farm that recently gave birth, milk that goat and bottle feed your goat the mother's milk.
However, you may not always have real colostrum on hand. In the event you don't have colostrum, there are many online providers that allow you to purchase colostrum.
If you know you're raising goats, freeze milk from goats who have recently given birth or keep colostrum substitute on hand. It's vital to get colostrum to a goat as soon as possible.
1-3. Use natural ingredients if possible.
When bottle feeding, it's always best to get your goat as natural ingredients possible. These will best assure your goat gets the vitamins and minerals it needs to thrive. Go for goat's milk or cow's milk, which you an find at most grocery stores.
Never feed a baby goat powdered milk or canned milk. These can cause health issues.
If you're using cow's milk, add three tablespoons of corn syrup per gallon of cow's milk.
1-4. Determine how often to feed your goat.
In general, you should aim to feed your goat around three or four times a day. Space out feedings over the course of a day, as kids need to eat on and off all day. If your goat is looking for food and seems hungry, bottle feed it as needed. However, keep the total amount you feed within the range you calculated based on the goat's weight.
If your goat is three weeks old or older, provide hay and water for free feeding as well.
1-5. Put the formula in an ordinary bottle.
Place the proper amount of milk in a regular baby bottle. You do not need a special bottle to bottle feed a goat. Pick up a conventional baby bottle from a department store for the feeding process.
2. Feeding Your Goat
2-1. Try many times a day at first.
Have patience when you first start the feeding process. Some goats will take to the bottle without trouble. Others, however, may be hesitant to feed early on. You may have to try several times a day at first to get your goat to get the proper amount of milk per day.
You will have to hold the goat and have a helper hold its mouth open. Try squirting some of the milk into the goat's mouth to help it understand it needs to suckle to get food.
Some goats will understand right away, while others may take more work. You may have to feed your goat eight to 10 times a day at first, instead of three or four, in order to get your goat enough food.
2-2. Get the bottle in a similar position to a mother's natural stance.
This can help the goat instinctively understand it needs to suckle. Try holding the bottle above the goat's head, roughly the same height as a mother goat. For younger goats, you may have to take the baby in your arms and hold the bottle near your chin.
This tends to work better when your goat has previously fed from its mother.
It can sometimes help to have the goat suckle on your finger first, and then slip the bottle in its mouth.
2-3. Allow the goat to take the milk naturally.
Once your goat understands what the bottle is for, try to get it to suckle naturally. After a few days of regular bottle feeding, your goat should take to the bottle without trouble. Force feeding by opening a goat's mouth and squirting the milk in should no longer be necessary.
3. Taking Safety Precautions
3-1. Try to get colostrum naturally, if possible.
While goats can still thrive on substitute colostrum, natural is usually best. A mother's milk has vital nutrients for survival, so if you can get your goat natural colostrum, go this route.
Allow your goat to suckle from its mother for the first 24 hours.
If the goat has been abandoned by its mother, provide colostrum from another goat who has recently given birth.
3-2. Consult a vet if your goat refuses to bottle feed.
Goats need to bottle feed if they're not being fed by a mother. It's normal for a goat to take a few days to take to the bottle. However, if it's been more than a few days and a goat is not feeding regularly, consult a veterinarian. You can find a livestock vet online or in your local yellow pages.
Ask something like, "Is there anything I can do to get my goat to take to its bottle?"
3-3. Avoid overfeeding your goat.
Weigh your goat regularly and adjust its feeding by weight, using the same calculation involving 10 to 12% of the goat's body weight. Overfeeding can cause serious problems. If your goat seems to be putting on a lot of weight, you may need to reduce feeding. Talk to a vet if you're concerned about your goat's weight.

How is Rock Climbing Different from Bouldering? (And Which is Right for You?)
|
1. An Overview
1-1. Rock climbing is any sport that involves scaling a rock face.
It’s a broad category of many other activities and techniques, all of which focus on using your hands and feet to climb a wall in either a gym or an outdoor setting. It’s also called “rope climbing,” since that’s one key distinction from bouldering. There are many different categories under the “rock climbing” umbrella (including bouldering), like:
A broad subcategory of rock climbing in which a climber is attached to a rope that goes up to the top of the wall, then loops back down to a belayer, who holds the rope to catch the climber in the event of a fall.
Sport climbing is one of the most common forms of rock climbing, and involves using ropes to ascend a wall that has pre-drilled bolts used for anchoring yourself as you climb.
Traditional climbing is much like sport climbing, but is typically performed outside and requires climbers to attach their own temporary anchors and safety gear to a rock face as they climb.
This is a form of traditional climbing done outside, above a mountain’s treeline. It often involved hiking to the climbing destination, or climbing as a smaller part of a larger expedition.
Free soloing is essentially traditional climbing, but without the gear—just the climber and the mountain!
1-2. Bouldering is rock climbing done without ropes on lower walls.
Bouldering is often performed in a gym, or outdoors on boulders or short outcroppings. Rather than an extended course, bouldering often involves short “problems,” or puzzle-like routes that challenge climbers to ascend a low wall (usually about 12–15 ft (3.7–4.6 m)) in a particular way.
Though it’s done on a smaller physical scale, bouldering requires its own specific gear (like crash pads), utilizes more explosive climbing techniques, and provides a more intense upper-body workout.
2. Style and Techniques
2-1. Rock climbing relies more on endurance.
Since rock climbers are scaling taller heights and are often on the wall for extended periods of time, the sport requires training to maintain a fair bit of stamina. This means that rope climbers often focus on steadier, more consistent movement during their climbs, so that they can conserve enough energy throughout the climb to summit the wall.
2-2. Bouldering relies more on strength.
Though done in shorter bursts, bouldering problems often challenge a climber’s grip, strength, and movement techniques more intensely than rock climbing. In addition, climbers that primarily boulder have been found to possess greater overall strength than climbers who primarily rope climb.
Since bouldering challenges a climber’s strength, it’s a great way to train for rock climbing, since the skills practiced while bouldering translate well to rock climbing.
2-3. Both rock climbing and bouldering work the same muscle groups.
Though the 2 sports have different focuses when it comes to strength and endurance, both sports work largely the same areas of your body, since they’re essentially the same activity. Both sports engage your body’s entire muscle system and improve flexibility and cardiorespiratory fitness. That said, the 2 tend to develop slightly different areas of the body:
Rock climbing works the legs more intensely, since it requires climbers to propel and steady themselves using primarily their legs. It also trains your “slow-twitch” muscle fibers, which are parts of your muscles used for sustained strain.
Bouldering helps build upper-body muscles, since boulderers focus more on explosive movements and upper-body maneuvering to navigate the wall. Bouldering also trains your “fast-twitch” muscle fibers, which are responsible for faster, more powerful movements.
2-4. Rock climbing requires another person to act as a spotter.
Rope climbers need someone on the ground holding the other end of the rope so that the spotter can save the climber in the event of a fall. Since it requires at least 2 people to be performed safely, rock climbing has a higher barrier to entry. That said, it’s a great trust and communication building activity.
2-5. Bouldering can be done solo, but is often a community activity.
Since bouldering is done at a lower height from the ground, it doesn’t require a spotter and can be done alone. On the other hand, since the climber is within sight and earshot of people on the ground, bouldering often fosters a communal atmosphere, where observers might offer tips or encouragement to the climber.
Boulderers also often have spotters that stay on the ground and follow the climber to break their fall in the event of a mistake.
3. Gear
3-1. Rock climbing requires ropes, harnesses, and other safety gear.
It also requires climbing shoes, chalk, and helmets. These are necessary to keep climbers secure and protected while they’re scaling tall heights. Because of the greater amount of equipment, rock climbing is often more expensive than bouldering. You’ll also need to dress right for rock climbing, with flexible and sturdy clothing.
3-2. Bouldering requires only climbing shoes and chalk.
In outdoor settings, you also need a crash pad, or a cushioned surface to catch you if you fall. Since bouldering requires less gear, it’s often considered much more accessible and spontaneous than traditional climbing.
4. Grading Systems
4-1. Rock climbing difficulty is graded on the Yosemite Decimal System.
The YDS ranks how difficult it is to traverse various terrains (not just climbing walls). According to the YDS, grades 1-2 are akin to easy hiking terrain, 2-4 are similar to a steep or rocky hike, and 5+ refers to proper rock climbing. Grades of 5 are divided into decimals from 5.0 to 5.15. Lower decimals (5.0-5.5) are easier climbs, while higher decimals refer to more advanced routes.
In addition, letters may be added to the decimal to further identify the difficulty. For example, a 5.9a route is slightly easier than a 5.9b route. This letter system ends at “d,” after which the system moves to the next numerical decimal (in this case, 5.10).
4-2. Bouldering difficulty is graded on the V scale.
The V scale starts at V0, which indicates an easy, beginner-friendly climbing route. From there, the scale usually ascends to V17, which is the most difficult and only attempted by world-class climbers, though the scale may increase in the future as harder bouldering problems are found or created.
The V scale is sometimes accompanied by “+” or “-,” which indicate a route is a bit harder or easier than the indicated number, respectively.
The V scale is also sometimes called the “Verm” or “Vermin” scale, named for John “Vermin” Sherman, a climber who conceived the scale in the late ‘80s.
5. Risks and Injury
5-1. Rock climbing is statistically safer, but has higher stakes.
Rope climbers take numerous precautions to prevent any drastic falls, including things like safety gear and spotters. These precautions make for fewer overall mishaps. However, since rock climbing is done at greater heights, mistakes can be incredibly dangerous or even fatal when they do occur.
5-2. Bouldering is statistically more dangerous, but has lower stakes.
Falls are much more likely while bouldering, since there aren’t any safety mechanisms keeping you aloft. However, since boulderers are typically at a lower height, falls are much less likely to result in dramatic or fatal injuries. In addition, the higher-intensity movement involved in bouldering can make for more frequent stress injuries like sprained joints or pulled muscles.
6. Which is the better choice for you?
6-1. Choose rock climbing for a more thrilling and extreme sport.
Since rock climbing is associated with taller heights, outdoor locations, and a more intense sense of danger, it’s often considered the more extreme of the 2 sports. It’s a great choice for people who have money or access to prime outdoor rock climbing locations, like mountainous areas.
Rock climbing also often requires a certain amount of training and education before you can get on the wall. Many gyms require that you take classes or become certified before you can use their facilities.
6-2. Choose bouldering for a cheaper and more beginner-friendly sport.
Bouldering is often considered a much more approachable sport, since it requires little equipment, doesn’t require a partner or spotter, and is less daunting due to its low climbing height. It also helps build skills that translate to every other form of climbing.
Many gyms allow total beginners to use their bouldering walls, given that newcomers familiarize themselves with bouldering etiquette beforehand.

How to Bounce Back After Hitting Rock Bottom
|
1. Creating a Positive Mindset
1-1. Keep life in perspective.
You might feel ashamed or guilty about letting your life get out of hand or for the actions you've taken to get you to this point. Maybe you've messed up the last few months or have gone down a bad road. This doesn't mean that you've ruined your whole life.
You've made good decisions in the past and you'll make more good decisions in the future. It's possible to move forward despite your setbacks.
1-2. Believe in your ability to self-correct.
Believe that you can adjust your negative or addiction-related thoughts. Act as if addiction is not a problem or as though you can approach situations as others do. Believe that you can handle stressors that you've not handled well in the past and this will help you actually achieve it.
One way to build your belief is by using coping strategies to deal with stress. If stress used to lead you to destructive behaviors, replace them with more positive behaviors such as journaling, listening to music, writing, or going on a walk.
1-3. Practice self-compassion.
Instead of beating yourself up or blaming yourself for all the harm you've caused, practice being gentle with yourself. When you notice yourself being harsh or self-critical, use a more positive inner dialog instead.
For example, if you notice that you're getting down on yourself, say, “I have made mistakes, as all humans do. I can still love and accept myself despite the mistakes I've made.”
1-4. Use positive emotions.
After setbacks, do you tend to stay negative or in a rut for some time afterward? Practice responding to negative emotions with more positive emotions. For example, if you feel down or depressed, think of something that makes you feel happy or grateful. Ask yourself, “What positive meaning can I take from this? How has this positively affected my life?” Using positive emotions can help you build resilience, which is a key element to bouncing back.
Building a sense of meaning from a situation can help you approach it more positively. For example, you may recognize the preciousness of life when you have a near-death encounter or receive a medical diagnosis.
1-5. Improve your ability to regulate your emotions
Being able to regulate your emotions is a crucial skill for bouncing back from a difficult situation. If you have good emotional regulation skills, then you can calm yourself when you are feeling angry, cheer yourself up when you are feeling sad, and deal with your other emotions in healthy, productive ways.
Keep in mind that sometimes you may need to allow yourself to sit with your emotions and just feel them. This can be uncomfortable, but remember that these feelings will pass.
Try telling yourself something like, “I feel hurt and sad right now, and that is okay.”
1-6. Work on your conflict resolution skills
Conflict resolution skills can improve your ability to handle problems that may come up in your relationships with friends, family, and coworkers, which may come along with hitting rock bottom. Some things that you can do to improve your conflict resolution skills include:
Learn how to relieve stress when it a conflict arises. This can be as simple as taking a few deep breaths.
Identify what you are feeling. When you are dealing with a conflict, take a moment to notice your feelings and identify them.
Communicate effectively. Improving your communication skills, such as by using “I” statements and becoming a better listener, can also help when you are dealing with a conflict.
Use humor to lighten the situation, if appropriate. In some cases, making a joke aimed at yourself or at the situation can help. Just avoid making jokes at the other person's expense.
1-7. Develop your problem solving skills
Having good problem solving skills can also help you to bounce back after hitting rock bottom. By developing your problem solving skills and using a problem solving strategy, solving problems may even be less stressful for you. Some things you can do to make solving problems easier include:
Writing out your problem in detail.
Making a list of all solutions available to you.
Analyzing your options to choose the best one.
Moving ahead with the solution you have chosen.
Reflecting on the outcome and seeing what you can learn from the experience.
2. Beginning Healthy Habits
2-1. Get moving
Exercise and physical activity are some of the best ways to get back on track. If you're feeling stuck or low, exercise helps to release endorphins, those 'feel-good' hormones. Exercise can help to improve physical health as well as mental health. If you're looking to improve your moods, help you to relax, and to improve your sleep, getting active can help.
Exercise can also help treat symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD.
If going to the gym isn't your thing, take a yoga class or try ice skating, rollerblading, or a dance class.
2-2. Sleep soundly
Sleep is an important aspect of feeling good and functioning well daily. If your sleep is inconsistent, erratic, or of poor quality, it may hinder you from making the changes you want. Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same each day, even on the weekends.
Control your light exposure near bedtime. Avoid watching television, reading e-books or looking at your phone screen right before sleeping.
2-3. Eat healthy foods.
The foods you eat can affect the way you feel. If you're trying to be on the up and up, fuel your body in ways that support it. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, cook at home, and reduce your sugar intake. Moderating the foods you eat can help you manage certain mental health problems and regulate your moods.
While you don't have to completely eliminate certain foods, moderate what you eat and how frequently you eat the 'unhealthy' foods.
If you want to learn more about making good food choices, check out How to Eat Healthy.
2-4. Engage with friends.
Start spending time with those you care about. If you've been distant from people or isolated, make an effort to reach out. Perhaps you feel alone and are intimidated in making new friends. Friendships can support you during positive moments and hard times and help you to feel connected.
Even if you're shy you can meet people and build friendships in your community. Try volunteering at an animal shelter, food bank, or after-school program.
2-5. Practice relaxation.
If you tend to handle stress destructively, find some healthy outlets for stress, such as relaxation. Using daily relaxation can help you cope with stress as it arises instead of letting it pile up over time. Practicing relaxation for 30 minutes each day can help stabilize your moods and cope with stress.
Find relaxation methods that feel good and that you enjoy. Try yoga, qi gong, tai chi, and meditation. Find one you like and stick with it.
3. Seeking Outside Help
3-1. Talk to a good friend.
It can be helpful to let a good friend or family member know what you're going through and ask for support. If you've stayed silent through your struggles, now is the time to open up. Talking to someone can give you a sense of relief and help you relieve stress. Find someone who's a good listener and let them know what's happening in your life.
It's up to you what you want to say. If you need to let it all out, do so. If there are things you are not ready to talk about, that's okay, too.
3-2. Get treatment.
You may want to consider different treatment options depending on what your struggle is. For example, if you struggle with drugs, consider inpatient, outpatient, and residential care and/or detoxification. Getting treatment can help you start the path to recovery.
Consider speaking with your family and your general practitioner about what treatment may be best for you.
3-3. See a therapist.
If you feel like you have no idea where to start, you might consider seeing a therapist. Create goals together and address what is most important for you to make a change. If you struggle with substance abuse, consider seeing a therapist who specializes in treating addiction. They can help you cope with cravings or stressors that increase your likelihood of using.
If you struggle with anxiety, depression, or another mental disorder, talk to your therapist about treating this, too.
3-4. Obtain medication.
Sometimes 'toughing it out' can cause more problems and affect you over the long-term. If you've tried to work through your mental health problems and have struggled time and again, it may be time to try medications. Medication can help to treat symptoms associated with problems like depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
If you start medication, recognize that they may take a few weeks to kick in. Be patient and communicate with your prescriber about any side-effects or negative changes you notice.
3-5. Go to a support group.
If you're struggling with a problem, it can be helpful to join a support group. Especially if you feel isolated and alone, a support group is a great way to join others who get it and have 'been there.' Whether you suffer from an illness, addiction, mental health disorder, or have endured difficult circumstances, there's likely a support group for you.
Join a support group to share your experiences, get advice, and talk honestly about your feelings.

How to Bounce Back from a Bad First Impression
|
1. Recovering After the Failed Joke
1-1. Don't beat yourself up.
Realize that everyone makes mistakes, and, at some point in their life, everyone says or does something they wish they hadn't. Try not to magnify the situation in your head. Also, avoid dwelling on it inwardly or outwardly. Everyone falls victim to social gaffes. If you dwell on your small misstep, you may actually make the situation worse.
If you are a person who tends to blow simple mistakes out of proportion, just show yourself some compassion after bungling a first impression. Maybe it will be helpful to repeat this phrase silently in your head right after: "You're only human. You're only human."
1-2. Show your sense of humor with a little self-deprecation.
If an awkward silence ensues after your failed joke, say something like "It sounded funny in my head!" or "Wow, that wasn't funny at all". Such a remark shows the person or group that you read their responses and know that your joke fell flat.
A brief self-deprecating comment reveals that you don't take yourself too seriously. Just be sure not to refocus the lens and spend the whole time putting yourself down for the benefit of impressing others.
1-3. Move on.
As quickly as possible, move on to another topic. Don't allow your gaffe to derail the conversation, which will only make you feel mortified. Once the ball gets rolling, make an extra effort to engage, asking questions and presenting your own opinions. Taking a more serious approach during the remainder of the meeting verifies that you're not all fun and games.
There are several ways to expertly change the subject in a conversation. In this case, returning to an earlier topic would probably be sufficient. Whatever the topic was prior to your failed joke, bring everyone back around. Say something like "So, you were telling me about your parents..." or "I can't believe the company has made such significant returns this year. That's great!"
1-4. Wait a little while until you try another joke again.
Telling jokes around people you first meet will always be hit or miss. Take some time to read the temperature of the individual people or the culture of the office where you work. If you notice others regularly telling lame jokes, you may take another jab at sharing a joke or two with no harm done. Just be sure to save graphic or vulgar jokes for your closest friends.
2. Recovering After Making an Inadvertent Offence
2-1. Acknowledge the mistake with sincerity, and apologize.
Even though you may want to disappear into the back of your chair, the other person will only become more offended if you act as if nothing happened. Pointing out an wrongful assumption or biased statement takes courage. Owning up to the mistake may put you back in the person's good graces.
Calmly acknowledge the gaffe by saying something like "That was just my opinion. Forgive me for being short-sighted." Then, make a sincere plea to understand the person better. "Would you mind sharing your opinion of X?"
2-2. Avoid trying to justify or change what's been said.
This could cause even a greater problem for you. Sometimes, when people realize they've rubbed someone the wrong way, they immediately rush to a defense such as "Oh, I didn't mean that!" Obviously, you wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean it. So, refrain from stating this as it makes you appear hypocritical, like you're jumping from one position to another based on the people around you.
2-3. Avoid over-apologizing.
While it's important to acknowledge your mistake and try to make amends, please don't go into a long rant of endless apologies. Doing so puts the other person in an awkward position, in which they feel the need to console you - not the other way around.
A quick apology can sound like "Geez, I'm sorry to have offended you. My knowledge on this topic appears to be limited. Can you explain it to me so that I can see it from your point-of-view?" Taking this route gets the apology out of the way, but also allows the person to share their expertise - and allows them to see you as a human that made a simple mistake but who can own up to it.
2-4. Give the person some space, if possible.
This signals to the other person that you are aware of your misstep and giving them - and yourself - time to regain your composure. Excuse yourself and go get a drink, or use the restroom. Take a deep breath and exhale away your embarrassment or anxiety. Remember that you may be viewing the situation larger than the person, so, when you return, act calm and competent.
Space may not always be possible, particularly during presentations or job interviews. During such occasions, it's important to move forward and change the subject to something less tense. Ask the person a question about the position you are applying for, or give them the opportunity to explain a concept to you.
3. Covering Your Bases
3-1. Project humility.
If you get on someone's bad side during a first encounter, it's hardly a bad idea to humble yourself. People frequently put their foots in their mouths when they are nervous or self-conscious. Explain this to the other person. However, don't come off as if you are making an excuse for your behavior. Odds are, the person has once been in your shoes; they may understand where you're coming from.
3-2. Try a pivot.
Sometimes, a misstep is not so obvious and you may not be presented with an opportunity to apologize for something you said or did. In these cases, it's best to display pivotal behaviors that counteract the offensive ones.
If your shyness is being received as rudeness, make an effort to smile more, start a conversation, and ask the other person questions. This can happen without any indicator to them that you are making a pivot. They will assume they judged you too quickly and assimilate these new interactions into their impression of you.
On the contrary, if you have a tendency to come off as over-bearing and you ruffle someone's feathers, quickly adjust your behavior as needed. You might try to sit back and not respond to every statement made, but rather nod your head, smile, and listen more. This also works for interruptions, which can be seen as offensive in some settings. Acknowledge the misstep by saying "My apologies for the interruption." and ensure that your subsequent behavior is characterized by taking turns and listening until the other speak has finished.
3-3. Don't pretend you're something you're not.
Many social faux pas happen during first impressions because a person is putting on airs. Be yourself when you meet new people. Or, better yet, be the best version of yourself. If you don't like speaking in front of others, don't put yourself in an uncomfortable position by signing up to lead a presentation. This might lead to a bad, false impression.
Instead, highlight the talents that you do have. If you're highly organized, you can volunteer to put together the information packets for the presentation or research complicated concepts that may need explaining. You won't be the focus of the presentation by doing this, but you will still be acknowledged for your organizational skills, or for your in-depth knowledge when someone poses a complex question.
3-4. Ask for advice.
Some people wince at the idea of asking another person for help. Considering that the person you are asking for help is one you've just badly impressed, asking can be that much harder. You may think the person will deny your request, leaving you humiliated and rejected. Ask anyway.
Ask the person for a book recommendation or to explain a certain concept.
Research shows people are much more likely to help those who ask for help.
What's more, when you ask advice from a person with whom you have bad footing, you get the chance to not only understand them better, but to make them feel more competent. The person will be flattered by your request and may even change their opinion of you.

How to Bounce Back from a Long Time Bad Reputation
|
1. Doing Damage Control
1-1. Assess how bad your reputation is and what part of your life is affected.
It’s easy to be upset when someone says something negative about you, but don’t jump to conclusions about whether your reputation is ruined... Ask yourself how you’d view these comments if they’d been said about somebody else.
You don’t have to be universally liked to have a decent reputation.
If your reputation really is damaged, figure out which sphere the damage has occurred in. For instance, you might have a bad reputation at work or school, but your reputation among your friends might be fine.
1-2. Separate what you can control from what you can’t.
You can’t control what people think about you, but you can control your own actions. Focus only on what you can do to repair your reputation. Don’t waste your energy worrying about what other people are saying about you.
1-3. Stop participating in damaging behaviors.
If you know that some of your behaviors have caused your bad reputation, stop doing those things. Think about why you behave this way, what it will take for you to learn different behaviors, and whether you could replace a negative behavior with a more positive one.
For instance, maybe you gossip about other people to feel included in your social circle. To change this behavior, you could look for a better way to feel included, such as helping your friends more often.
Think about changing the kinds of people you surround yourself with as they may be contributing to your actions and negative reputation too.
1-4. Address problems immediately.
If you know that your reputation has taken a hit, jump into action right away. Acknowledge the problem and apologize if you need to. If you’ve hurt or inconvenienced somebody, find a way to make amends.
Don’t just ignore the problem and hope it blows over. If you don’t acknowledge what people are saying, the damage could be even greater in the long term.
1-5. Consider hiring a reputation management service.
If your reputation has been damaged online, a reputation management service that specializes in SEO can help you recover. This type of service can help you bury negative content online by pushing positive content to the first pages of search engine results about you.
This strategy can be especially helpful if you are running an online business.
It’s always a good idea to build a strong, positive online presence. Update your social media accounts regularly and consider starting your own website or blog.
If you have no web presence of your own, it’s hard to defend yourself against bad reviews and other negative feedback online. Take the opportunities you have to explain your side and/or rectify customer dissatisfaction publicly online.
1-6. Talk to a trusted adult.
If you are a teen or young adult who is trying to bounce back from a bad rep, it may help to seek the advice of an adult you trust. A teacher, coach, or school counselor may serve as a great person to share your feelings and get unbiased advice.
Go to the person and ask if you can speak to them privately. Share the details of your situation and ask them how you might bounce back from it.
2. Improving Your Relationships
2-1. Look for reasons to cooperate with people.
When you notice that a friend or coworker is having a hard time with something, reach out to help. Volunteer to participate in group projects, even if you usually prefer to work alone. When you go out of your way to help people, they will have a hard time holding a grudge against you.
Be genuine when you help others. If it’s obvious that you’re just trying to improve your reputation, it won’t work.
2-2. Admit your mistakes right away.
Taking personal responsibility is an important skill to learn, and it can improve both how others view you and how you view yourself. If you do something wrong, either intentionally or accidentally, own up to it immediately. Don’t try to cover up the mistake or blame it on somebody else. People will eventually find out if you lie about something, and the fallout will harm your reputation even more.
For instance, if you have a rep for lying or stealing, you want to show a sense of integrity whenever you can. If you find a wallet on the ground, don't keep it. Turn it in to someone who can see that it gets back to its rightful owner like a receptionist or police officer.
2-3. Be positive and tactful.
Try to find the good in every person and situation. If you’re in the habit of complaining about things or criticizing others, work on keeping those thoughts to yourself. Don’t ever gossip about or bad-mouth somebody behind their back, even if you no longer see or work with that person.[Image:Bounce Back from a Long Time Bad Reputation Step 9 Version 2.jpg|center]]
2-4. Meet new people.
Your social circle affects the way people see you. If you spend a lot of time with people who are harming your reputation, consider finding a better group of friends. Join some new clubs or groups that interest you, or reach out to acquaintances you would like to know better.
Finding a new group of friends also gives you the chance to start over with people who aren’t biased against you.
2-5. Take a break from social media.
People these days often ignore their face-to-face relationships for those online. However, if you are trying to improve your reputation with those closest to you, you will need to give them more one-on-one time. Unplug from social media and try to spend more time with your closest friends and family.
Staying off social media may also help your reputation if you tend to post inappropriate things or form destructive relationships online. A break from social media may give you time to evaluate how you want to behave differently moving forward.
3. Moving On from the Past
3-1. Pay attention to people's motives when they spread rumors.
If someone has been slandering you, you might be understandably furious. Before you go looking for revenge, though, consider their motivations. Many people who spread rumors do so because they’re either envious of you or angry at you for something. Often, the best response is to keep your head high and ignore them.
If someone is saying things about you that obviously aren’t true, let your actions speak for you. Don’t get defensive or argue. Most people will be able to see that the rumors are false.
When necessary, get support of people who can confirm that the rumors aren’t true.
If false rumors are really severe, they can be categorized as slander or defamation. If you can prove that there is malicious intent, you can file a lawsuit.
If one person tries to assassinate your character, it indicates a problem with them. If many people are saying bad things about you, though, the problem may be on your end.
3-2. Show people you are trying by making an extra effort.
Actions speak louder than words, especially when you are trying to fix a bad reputation. Put extra effort into your work, school, and relationships. When people already think poorly of you, it takes extra evidence to change their minds, so be prepared to over-deliver for a while.
For instance, if you have a reputation for being a lazy student, you could change people’s perception of you by participating in class discussions every day.
3-3. Make some changes in your life.
If you aren’t happy with your current identity, reinvent yourself. Think about what kind of person you want to become, and then make small changes that will help you get there. If you develop any feelings of shame or guilt, be sure to address those first; you’ll need to have a positive opinion of yourself before you can convince others to. Improving yourself takes time and effort, but it can help you leave a negative reputation behind you.
Stay true to yourself. It’s normal and healthy to change as a person over time, but don’t try to become someone you aren’t.
See a professional for help if you have consistent low self-esteem for a prolonged period of time.
3-4. Be patient and give people time to see you differently.
Your reputation is made up of lots of individual factors, such as your reliability, helpfulness, and personal presentation. It takes time to improve all these areas of your life, so don’t expect your reputation to change overnight. Be patient and persistent, even when it seems like your efforts aren’t paying off.

Take a break from social media.\\nPeople these days often ignore their face-to-face relationships for those online. However, if you are trying to improve your reputation with those closest to you, you will need to give them more one-on-one time. Unplug from social media and try to spend more time with your closest friends and family.\\nStaying off social media may also help your reputation if you tend to post inappropriate things or form destructive relationships online.

Pay attention to people's motives when they spread rumors.\\nIf someone has been slandering you, you might be understandably furious. Before you go looking for revenge, though, consider their motivations. Many people who spread rumors do so because they’re either envious of you or angry at you for something.

If you can prove that there is malicious intent, you can file a lawsuit.\\nIf one person tries to assassinate your character, it indicates a problem with them. If many people are saying bad things about you, though, the problem may be on your end.\\n3-2. Show people you are trying by making an extra effort.\\nActions speak louder than words, especially when you are trying to fix a bad reputation. Put extra effort into your work, school, and relationships. When people already think poorly of you, it takes extra evidence to change their minds, so be prepared to over-deliver for a while.\\nFor instance, if you have a reputation for being a lazy student, you could change people’s perception of you by participating in class discussions every day.\\n3-3. Make some changes in your life.\\nIf you aren’t happy with your current identity, reinvent yourself. Think about what kind of person you want to become, and then make small changes that will help you get there.

How to Bounce Emails
|
1. Using an Email Management Tool
1-1. Download an independent email management tool that has a bouncing feature.
Two free programs that are popular to use are MailWasher and Bounce Bully. Visit http://www.mailwasher.net/ to download MailWasher.
1-2. Run the file you downloaded and follow the instructions on the installer to install the program.
1-3. Open your email program, and then start up your new MailWasher or Bounce Bully program.
If you are using MailWasher, be sure to turn off automatic sending and receiving of emails in your email program if the feature is available.
2. Using MailWasher
2-1. Click the "Check Mail" icon to receive the incoming emails that are waiting on the server.
Click on a message that you wish to bounce back to the sender.
2-2. Right-click on the message and choose the "Mark for bouncing (B)" option.
Do this on as many messages as you want to bounce.
2-3. Press the "Process Mail" button to complete the bouncing process when you are finished selecting messages.
3. Using Bounce Bully
3-1. Click on the "Message" tab in Bounce Bully.
Drag and drop the message you want to bounce from your email program into the Bounce Bully application.
3-2. Select the "Config" tab if you want to configure the message that the spammer will receive.
Make changes to the Postmaster account name, subject line, and message if desired.
3-3. Click the "Bounce" button to bounce the email back to the spammer with your customized message.
4. Using Bounce Email in Gmail
4-1. For Gmail users:

Then the sender's mail will be filtered to your trash.
4-4. To undo the filter, go to Settings and delete the filter.
Tips
Often times spam messages originate from fake email addresses, so bouncing a message back to a fake email address will not accomplish anything toward removing your email address from a spammer's e-mail list.
Warnings
Be careful when bouncing emails back to some people. It may be tempting to bounce emails to someone who sends you a lot of email forwards, as bouncing the emails may get them to stop adding you to their forwards list. But these people can also contact your Internet service provider and let them know that your emails are bouncing back to them, and your Internet service provider may suspend your account as a result. Consider adding these people to your unapproved senders list instead. Most email programs include this feature; right-click on the message from the person you want to unapproved and choose the most fitting option. Read the wikiHow on Block-Emails.

How to Bounce Pecs
|
1. Flexing Your Pecs
1-1. Do some exercises to get the blood pumping.
If you want to try to flex your pecs right now, drop and give yourself twenty push-ups. Anytime you want your pecs to appear larger and more muscular, it's good to drop to the floor work them out for a minute. This forces blood into the muscle, making it swell and making it much more easy to flex it in a visible way.
If you've just finished a workout, it's the perfect time to flex in the mirror for a while and check out whether or not your pecs are bounceable yet. It'll take a while, but you'll always have better results after a workout instead of before.
1-2. Go to the mirror.
Basically, bouncing your pecs is just flexing your pecs, but flexing pecs that are sufficiently large so that the spasm is visible when you do it. If you're going to practice, do it right: go in front of a mirror in the weight room or in your training room, and remove your shirt so you can get a better view of your chest.
To maintain your muscle memory, it's a good idea to always practice in front of the mirror, so you combine the feeling of flexing with the effect that you want. It might feel great like you're Arnold-rescue, but it might not look like much.
1-3. Contract your pectoral muscles.
In the mirror, with your pecs well-exercised, stand with your arms straight down at your sides and attempt to contract your pectoral muscles. It should be a lot easier if you've just worked them out. If they're burning, you'll be able to feel very quickly whether or not you're doing it right.
Turn your upper arm (humerus) in toward your chest and you should feel your pec flexing. That's one of the functions of the pectoralis major muscle: rotating your upper arm.
Don't worry about flexing them each separately yet, just worry about flexing them both on command. At first, it's hard enough to do just that.
If you're like most people, your pecs probably aren't something you're used to flexing on purpose. But, once you get a feel for where they are and how to do it, it can be as easy as flexing your bicep.
1-4. Try to isolate each pec.
The more you practice and work out your chest muscles, the closer you'll be to feel them enough to flex them separately. Try to isolate each of your pectorals, and flex them independently of the others. When you see something that starts looking right, stick with it and keep flexing until it starts bouncing like a jumping bean.
Stick with it and keep practicing. Some people have to weight train for a long time before starting to notice results like bouncing pectorals. If you can even flex them independently, you're doing pretty well.
1-5. Maintain your pecs.
Once you've got it figured out, it's important to commit to keeping your chest strong and your pecs bulging. Pec bouncing is less a skill that you learn and more a product of having really big and muscular pectoral muscles. If you can do it, congrats. Now keep working out that chest.
2. Making Your Pecs Bigger
2-1. Start working out your chest on a regular basis.
If you're not seeing much in the way of Hulk Hogan-style bouncing in your pectoral region, it's probably because your pecs aren't quite big enough to show yet. No shame. It takes a fairly large pectoral muscle to flex it enough to bounce in the way the bodybuilders do. That's what makes it impressive. Want to bounce your pecs? Keep working out.
Integrate chest workouts into your regular strength training routine. Even a single workout per week dedicated specifically to chest exercises can have your pecs getting swollen in a couple of weeks. Stick with it.
2-2. Do bench presses
Working out your upper arms and chest is the best way to get your pecs big enough to bounce. The best way to do that is good old fashioned bench pressing. Go high-rep with a manageable amount of weight to start burning those pectorals.
Depending on how experienced you are with training, it might be better to start with more or less weight. You ideally want something that will be challenging for all the reps you have to do, but light enough that you'll be able to do all of them. 3 sets of 10 or 15 reps with a short break in between sets is common.
It's also a good idea to work incline bench presses and decline bench presses to work your upper and lower chest, respectively. Use a similar amount of weight and number of reps to keep your pecs shaped.
2-3. Do pushups
Don't have the gear to work out on a bench? Do what George Foreman did and workout your chest by doing pushups. Plyometric exercises like pushups, in which you use your own weight for resistance, are a great way of building muscle, as well as the fast-twitch response necessary to bounce those muscles. Do a few sets of a manageable number of push-ups, going as slow as possible to really feel the burn.
Wide-grip and incline pushups are also great ways of targeting slightly different targets throughout your pec muscle. If you want to keep it shapely and strong, don't do the same old pushups each time.
2-4. Do dumbbell flys
By far the best way to build muscle in your pecs is doing dumbbell flys. Laying back on a bench with matching hand weights in each hand, raise your arms straight up above you, then drop them straight down to your sides, perpendicular to your body, keeping your arms slightly flexed. Bring your hands back up to meet to do a rep. Use a weight that will be challenging for the entire set.
If you have access to a weight room, you can use the chest press machine to do similar exercises from a seated position.
2-5. Do full body workouts as well
Chest training needs to be a part of an overall, full-body workout, or it won't be doing you much good. Make chest training part of a full-body regimen.
Be very careful to avoid overtraining your pecs. Chest workouts should be a part of a complete, full-body weight training regimen, not an isolated exercise. There's no two-hour shortcut to bouncing pecs like Arnold.
2-6. Eat a diet high in lean protein
To build muscle in your pecs, workouts and a diet that emphasizes muscle-building protein are essential. Lean chicken, legumes, and vitamin-rich vegetables and whole grains need to be a major part of your diet.
You can work out your chest all you want, but if you're still eating cheeseburgers and pizza every day, that muscle will keep getting bigger under a layer of fat, making your chest look round, and making your pecs bounces invisible.
Tips
At first lift your arms and bend them in front of your chest to make contracting your chest after working out easier. As your pecs get bigger and stronger move your arms lower and lower. When you can contract your chest with your arms at your sides, then you can "bounce your pecs."
When doing push ups don't use things like "The Perfect Push Up." You might be able to do more push-ups with it, but regular, old fashioned push ups really shape up and strengthen your pecs.
Warnings
Be very careful not to overtrain. You can't bounce a torn pectoral muscle.

No shame. It takes a fairly large pectoral muscle to flex it enough to bounce in the way the bodybuilders do. That's what makes it impressive. Want to bounce your pecs? Keep working out.\\nIntegrate chest workouts into your regular strength training routine. Even a single workout per week dedicated specifically to chest exercises can have your pecs getting swollen in a couple of weeks. Stick with it.\\n2-2. Do bench presses\\nWorking out your upper arms and chest is the best way to get your pecs big enough to bounce. The best way to do that is good old fashioned bench pressing. Go high-rep with a manageable amount of weight to start burning those pectorals.\\nDepending on how experienced you are with training, it might be better to start with more or less weight. You ideally want something that will be challenging for all the reps you have to do, but light enough that you'll be able to do all of them. 3 sets of 10 or 15 reps with a short break in between sets is common.\\nIt's also a good idea to work incline bench presses and decline bench presses to work your upper and lower chest, respectively. Use a similar amount of weight and number of reps to keep your pecs shaped.\\n2-3. Do pushups\\nDon't have the gear to work out on a bench? Do what George Foreman did and workout your chest by doing pushups. Plyometric exercises like pushups, in which you use your own weight for resistance, are a great way of building muscle, as well as the fast-twitch response necessary to bounce those muscles. Do a few sets of a manageable number of push-ups, going as slow as possible to really feel the burn.\\nWide-grip and incline pushups are also great ways of targeting slightly different targets throughout your pec muscle. If you want to keep it shapely and strong, don't do the same old pushups each time.\\n2-4. Do dumbbell flys\\nBy far the best way to build muscle in your pecs is doing dumbbell flys. Laying back on a bench with matching hand weights in each hand, raise your arms straight up above you, then drop them straight down to your sides, perpendicular to your body, keeping your arms slightly flexed. Bring your hands back up to meet to do a rep. Use a weight that will be challenging for the entire set.\\nIf you have access to a weight room, you can use the chest press machine to do similar exercises from a seated position.\\n2-5. Do full body workouts as well\\nChest training needs to be a part of an overall, full-body workout, or it won't be doing you much good. Make chest training part of a full-body regimen.\\nBe very careful to avoid overtraining your pecs. Chest workouts should be a part of a complete, full-body weight training regimen, not an isolated exercise. There's no two-hour shortcut to bouncing pecs like Arnold.\\n2-6. Eat a diet high in lean protein\\nTo build muscle in your pecs, workouts and a diet that emphasizes muscle-building protein are essential. Lean chicken, legumes, and vitamin-rich vegetables and whole grains need to be a major part of your diet.\\nYou can work out your chest all you want, but if you're still eating cheeseburgers and pizza every day, that muscle will keep getting bigger under a layer of fat, making your chest look round, and making your pecs bounces invisible.\\nTips\\nAt first lift your arms and bend them in front of your chest to make contracting your chest after working out easier. As your pecs get bigger and stronger move your arms lower and lower. When you can contract your chest with your arms at your sides, then you can \\\"bounce your pecs.\\\"\\nWhen doing push ups don't use things like \\\"The Perfect Push Up.\\\" You might be able to do more push-ups with it, but regular, old fashioned push ups really shape up and strengthen your pecs.\\nWarnings\\nBe very careful not to overtrain. You can't bounce a torn pectoral muscle.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Muscle pro wrestlers and action movie stars know how to look intimidating just by flexing a couple of muscles.

How to Bow Hunt
|
1. Choosing a Bow
1-1. Start with a compound bow.
This type of bow is much easier to use than the traditional longbow and recurve bow, which makes it perfect for a beginner. You’ll gain skill with it much faster and, with a little practice, be shooting this bow quite well in a couple of weeks. Compound bows are more accurate than traditional bows, and also have better distance and velocity.
As a beginner, buy a used bow. Check out the used selection at your local sporting goods shop. Look on eBay, as well.
You should be able to find a decent used bow for about $50 to $150.
Make sure you buy a bow that is legal to use for hunting, per your local regulations and permit limitations.
1-2. Choose the proper orientation.
Bows come in right-handed and left-handed versions. Use your dominant eye to determine what orientation you need, not your dominant hand. When holding a bow, which is more comfortable – using your left eye for aiming (closing the right eye) or vice versa? If it’s your left, get left-handed bow. If it’s your right, get a right-handed bow.
Some people shoot with both eyes open. In this case, you could use either orientation.
However, you probably still favor one eye over the other when aiming or squinting to see something far away. The one you tend to favor is your dominant eye.
1-3. Select the right draw weight and draw length.
Draw weight, which is the weight of resistance when you pull back the bow string, must be considered. The higher the weight, the harder it is to pull back. Forty-five pounds is the minimum weight it takes to kill a deer. Anything lower will only wound them. Fifty to seventy pounds is the recommended weight for deer hunting. Draw length is another factor. The right draw length is when the bow brings the string about even with your mouth when it’s fully drawn.
Many bows will be adjustable to accommodate an arm length of 28 to 30 inches, which is the average for an adult.
If you buy your bow brand new, the seller will most likely set the bow up for you, customized to what you need.
Keep in mind that having your bow set up will cost a few hundred dollars on top of the bow price.
1-4. Pick the appropriate arrows.
There are 4 arrow types used with compound bows – aluminum, carbon, aluminum with a carbon core, and carbon wrapped around an aluminum core. The carbon variety tends to be more durable and lighter, which means it will travel faster. However, an aluminum arrow works better if you are using broad heads. A broad head is a point you can attach to the tip of your arrow. It has several very sharp blades affixed to it, which will enter your prey without causing a lot of tissue damage or bruising.
There are several other factors to consider when choosing arrows. If you’re a beginner, you might have some trouble figuring out what’s best.
Seek advice from an expert at an archery shop about the best arrow for you.
1-5. Practice.
Set up a target in your backyard (or in some other open area) to work on your aim. Sporting goods stores often sell targets that are shaped like the game you’re hunting, which can be helpful. You should spend at least a couple of weeks practicing your aim before hunting in the field. Consistency in form is one of the most important factors in archery. When you hit your stride and start hitting your targets more often than not, try to shoot with the same form every time.
You will need to practice shooting your bow while sitting, as well, since in most cases you will be sitting up in a tree stand while hunting.
If you plan to use broad heads on your arrows, you need to practice with them once you get the hang of shooting.
The broad heads add weight to the arrows, which means you’ll need to adjust your form to get the same trajectory as before.
2. Hunting Deer with a Bow
2-1. Scout early.
Most people do their hunting on leases, since these large areas are set aside for lawful hunting. After you choose your hunting location, begin scouting the area months before opening day and do it frequently. You are looking for areas that are high-traffic for your chosen prey, which is usually deer, so you should be out scouting frequently.
Look for evidence that deer frequent the area. When you find a good location, set up your tree stand or deer blind in this area.
Signs to look for while scouting are droppings, tracks, deer trails, and antler rubs and scrapes.
2-2. Place a tree stand in your chosen location.
Once you’ve settled on an area that deer are frequenting, you’ll want to set up your tree stand within good range. Twenty yards or closer is recommended. Choose an appropriate tree for the stand, which is at least eight inches in diameter and fifteen feet high. If there’s not a good tree for a stand, you can set up a ground blind. You’ll want to do this at least a month before hunting season opens, so that the deer will get used to it being there.
The best time to set up a tree stand or blind is between noon and 3pm. This window is when deer are least likely to be around.
Trim some of the trees around the area to clear a few shooting lanes for yourself. Make sure you clear shooting lanes for any possible direction a deer might approach.
2-3. Arrive at your deer stand before dawn.
On a hunting day, you need to get settled in your stand or blind before daylight. Hunt from dawn until about 11am. Deer are least active between 11am and 3pm, so take a break in the middle of the day. Be settled back into your stand before 4pm and hunt until it gets dark.
2-4. Be quiet and still.
Hunting involves a lot of waiting. While in your stand, you need to be very still and quiet, since deer can hear very well. The goal is to spot them before they spot you. When a deer approaches, you need to be absolutely silent. You will have about two or three seconds to shoot before it becomes aware of your presence and hears the shot.
You will have one chance to get the deer. If you don't hit the animal, the sound of your shot will cause the deer to flee.
Before you shoot, aim just behind the deer’s front leg. If you hit the mark, your arrow will penetrate the lungs of the deer, killing it instantly.
2-5. Follow the blood trail and secure your kill.
If you don’t kill the animal immediately, you will have to track your prey by following its blood trail. Wait at least 30 minutes before you start looking. In most cases, a wounded deer will lie down within a couple hundred yards of where it was shot.
If you follow it too soon, the fallen deer might get spooked and still have the energy to take off again.
The chances of finding your game decrease substantially if this happens.
3. Dressing the Animals
3-1. Be prepared for field dressing.
Dressing game is a messy task, so you need to be prepared. Buy a dressing kit and bring it with you on the hunt. You’ll also need plastic gloves that go up to your shoulders, a very sharp knife, rope and a large light or lantern (in case you have to dress your game after dark).
3-2. Clean and dress your kill in the field.
Field dressing involves removing the animal's internal organs. It needs to be done as quickly as possible to prevent bacteria growth on the meat, which is why it’s crucial to do it in the field. The faster you do it, the better the meat quality will be. It will also make the animal lighter and easier to transport.
Avoid jerking the arrow out of the deer before you begin. This can create a mess.
As you clean and dress the animal, you will be cutting deeply into it. Remove the arrow when it becomes easily accessible.
3-3. Use rope to secure the deer for transporting.
Put the deer’s head between its front legs and then tie the front legs together. Make a loop with the rope and then tie the free end to the deer’s front legs. This will make it easier for you to pull it to your vehicle or camp.
3-4. Transport the deer to your home or camp.
Once there, hang the deer up so that it isn’t touching the ground. Most hunters recommend that you hang it from its head. This will allow the blood to drain out. Rinse out the body cavity of the deer well with a water hose. Skin it, rinse it again, process the venison, and place it in a freezer that is as close to 40° F (4° C) to prevent spoilage.
3-5. Clean and maintain your bow.
After a hunt, look your bow over for any damage. Wipe it down with a soft microfiber cloth to remove any dirt or grime. During peak hunting season, coat your bow's string and synthetic cables with soft bowstring wax once per week. Regularly coat your axles with a high quality lubricant.
When not in use, keep your bow put away safely in its case.
Keep your bow away from any heat sources, which can damage it.

How to Bow Politely
|
1. Bowing in Asian Culture
1-1. Know when to bow.
Bowing is typically used in Asian cultures to show respect, honor, or gratitude. A silent bow often replaces the phrase "Thank you." In Asian cultures, you should bow from the hip with your head pointed down. Polite bowing is still common in many Asian countries, but it is not practiced as strictly in America. Understand the culture around you—or the culture of the people around you—to determine if bowing is appropriate.
Bowing is prevalent to varying degrees in many East Asian countries, but it is most prominent in China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Vietnam. Various nuanced bows are used to express apologies, gratitude, sincerity, deference, and remorse, among other things.
The handshake has become a common greeting in many East Asian cultures, particularly in business circles. Bowing may not be appropriate when you first meet someone—especially if he or she is a peer—but it can be a versatile way to convey more complex emotions. A slight bow to show courtesy is usually welcome.
1-2. Assume the bowing stance.
Stand straight with your feet together, forming a V with your heels. Clench your hands at your sides, but not too tight.
1-3. Bow with your waist, not your neck.
Bend at the waist, but keep your back straight. Open your hands as you bend. Bring your feet together.
1-4. Avert your gaze to show respect.
If you are bowing to an elder, a superior, or someone you respect, look down at their feet when you bow. If you're bowing to someone who does not fit into any of these categories, feel free to look them directly in the eye.
Bear in mind that if you look someone in the eyes, it may be taken as a sign of disrespect. This is especially the case when bowing to older, more traditionally-minded people, especially those who grew up steeped in an East Asian culture. Carefully consider the situation, and be mindful of who you are bowing to.
1-5. Finish the bow.
Straighten up, close your hands, and split your feet back into the V. Feel free to make eye contact with the person to whom you bowed.
2. Bowing in Western Culture
2-1. Know when to bow.
Bowing evolved as a traditional sign of respect and acknowledgement in many Western cultures, but it is much less common than it once was. You may still bow to show respect, or to add a dramatic flourish to a situation, but the gesture will appear a bit outdated. That said, bowing is still generally regarded as a polite gesture.
Bowing in western culture is often accompanied by an air of mock formality, and perhaps a degree of ironic self-consciousness. The European-American ceremonial bow is largely an anachronistic gesture, so bear in mind that you may not be taken seriously.
Try owning the mock formality of the bow by playing with nuance and taking the gesture to the extreme. Bow very slowly and deeply to show sarcasm—something like a slow clap. Bow very quickly and politely to convey mock deference.
2-2. Put your left hand behind your back.
Bend your arm at the elbow, and rest your hand (palm out( at waist-level. Alternately, press your left hand across your abdomen.
2-3. Bring your right hand to your waist.
Bend your arm at the elbow. Hold your palm against your body while you tip your upper body forward. The lower you bend, the more respect you show.
If you are wearing a hat, remove it and hold it by the brim in your right hand. If you are in a situation that calls for extreme deference—say, a funeral, or the performance of a national anthem—tuck your hat under your arm until the moment passes.
2-4. Keep your eyes lowered.
Do not raise your chin to maintain eye contact—this may be taken as a sign of disrespect. This is, however, a tradition that evolved from a highly stratified feudal society, so do not expect most 21st-century people to take offense if you make eye contact or bow "incorrectly".
2-5. Stand up in one fluid motion.
Straighten your back. Drop your hands. Raise your eyes to meet the gaze of the person to whom you bowed, and proceed to speak with them.
3. Bowing in Other Situations
3-1. Bow in a corporate setting.
Bow to denote respect, as you would in a non-corporate situation, but be especially mindful of the rank of those to whom you bow. Japanese culture is highly hierarchical, meaning that that older people have higher social status than younger people, men usually have more status than women, and senior executives demand more respect than junior executives.
Japanese businessmen often exchange business cards before bowing or shaking hands. Make sure that your business card clearly states your rank—this will determine who your negotiating counterpart should be.
If you are bowing to someone who ranks higher than you in his/her respective company, make sure to avert your gaze to show respect. Bear in mind that higher-ranking individuals may not bow back—bowing is often a one-way gesture in practice.
3-2. Consider curtsying if you are wearing a skirt or dress.
Cross your legs and ankles while standing, then bend your knees slightly. Lift the fabric of your dress out to your sides. This is a traditional European and American way of showing deference, but its use has declined sharply over the past century.
Curtsy in any situation that might call for a bow. As with bowing, the curtsy is still regarded as a polite gesture, but it will come across as a bit outdated.
3-3. Bow for an audience.
In Western culture, it is common to bow after a speech or performance to acknowledge the applause of the crowd. As your audience claps (or snaps, cheers, etc.), put your right hand on the center of your chest. Breathe in deeply. Bend your back. Briefly bow your head, then stand back up.
Do not bow for too long, nor too quickly. Bow for 3-5 seconds, but do not let it drag on.
Stand still. Do not shuffle about while you bow.
Tips
The triggers and mechanics of proper bowing can vary widely between cultures. Before you bow, make sure that you're doing it right.
It is common to place a hand over your chest when bowing, especially when wearing a low-cut shirt.
Warnings
Make sure not to tip yourself too much. Don't lose your balance!
Beware of people bowing back. Stand far enough away that you don't bump heads.

How to Bowl
|
1. Learning the Basics of Bowling
1-1. Understand the bowling lane.
Before you begin to bowl, you have to understand the function of the bowling lane. A bowling lane is 60 feet (18.3 m) long from the foul line, the line closest to the bowler, to the head pin, the pin closest to the bowler. There are gutters on either side of the bowling lane. If a ball veers off the lane, it goes into the gutters and is out of play.
The approach area is 15 feet (4.6 m) long and ends at the foul line. The bowler cannot overstep the foul line during their approach or their shot won't count.
If a ball goes into the gutters and then bounces out and hits the pins, it won't count.
1-2. Understand the bowling pins.
Ten pins are arranged at the end of the bowling lane at the beginning of every frame. They are arranged in a triangle formation, with the point of the triangle facing the bowler. There is one pin in the first row, which is the head pin, two pins in the second row, three in the third, and four in the fourth.
The locations of the pins are assigned numbers 1-10. The pins in the back row have the numbers 7-10, the pins in the row above the back row are numbered 4-6, the pins in the second row are numbered 2-3, and the head pin is pin 1.
All pins will earn the bowler one point if they are hit. The numbers are based on location, not value.
1-3. Learn the lingo.
Before you can call yourself a true bowler, you should be aware of a few different bowling terms. Knowing these terms will also make it much easier for you to understand the rules. Here they are:
A strike is when you knock down all the pins with the ball on your first try.
A spare is when you knock down all the pins on your second try.
A split is when the first ball of a frame knocks down the headpin (the pin closest to you) but leaves two or more pins that are non-adjacent. It's tough to hit a spare in this situation, especially if you have a 7-10 split, which is the hardest split to hit.
A turkey is three strikes in a row.
If any pins remain after the bowler's turn, it's called an "open frame."
1-4. Understand how a game of bowling works.
One bowling game consists of 10 frames. Each frame is equal to one turn for the bowler. The bowler's objective is to knock down as many pins as possible in a frame, ideally all of them.
A bowler can roll the ball twice in each frame, provided that they do not hit a strike.
A bowler gets an extra turn on the tenth frame if they knock down all the pins on the first turn.
1-5. Learn the scoring
If a bowler has an open frame, then they simply get credit for the number of pins they knocked down. If a bowler knocked down 6 pins after two turns, they simply get two turns. However, if a bowler hits a spare or a strike, the rules get slightly more complicated.
If a bowler hits a spare, then they should place a slash mark on their score sheet. After their next turn, they will receive 10 points plus the number of pins they knock down with that turn. So if they knock down 3 pins after their first turn, then they will get 13 points before their second turn. If they then knock down 2 pins in their second turn, they get a total of 15 points for that round.
If a bowler hits a strike, they should record an X on their scoresheet. The strike will earn the bowler ten points plus the number of pins knocked down on the player's next two turns in the following round.
The most a bowler can score in one game is 300 points. This represents 12 strikes in a row, or 120 pins that were knocked down in 12 frames. A perfect game has 12 strikes and not ten, because if the bowler gets a strike on the last frame, then they can take two more turns. If those two turns are also strikes, they will have 300 points.If a player rolls a spare in the last frame, then they can take one more turn.
2. Preparing to Bowl
2-1. Find a bowling alley.
Go online to find a local bowling alley that suits your needs. Try to find a place that offers bowling lessons or has beginner bowling leagues.
If you want to go bowling with friends, find a place that's rated for having a fun environment and maybe some food and snacks as well.
2-2. Go to the bowling alley you've chosen.
Talk to the fellow bowlers and staff, and see if you can even join a game. Alternately, you can go to an alley with a group of friends. If you ask a crowd if you can join their game, make sure it isn't too competitive. You may even make new friends at the alley.
2-3. Get some bowling shoes.
If you're a beginner, you can just rent shoes at the alley. If you want to kick up your game, you can buy a pair of your own shoes. Street shoes won't work for bowling because they'll either make you stick to the floor instead of sliding naturally, or they'll make you slip too much and injure yourself.
If you don't wear bowling shoes, you can also damage or leave scuff marks on the alley floor. Rent a pair of shoes unless you want to get in trouble before you even start bowling.
Don't forget to wear socks or bring socks to the alley. Some alleys sell socks, but they will be expensive.
2-4. Choose the right ball
Before you can begin to bowl, you need to find a ball that is the right weight for you and which is the right size for your fingers. The balls will be labeled based on their weight, so a ball with "8" written on it will weigh 8 pounds. Here's how to find a ball of the right size and weight:
Weight. A 14-16 lb ball would work for most adults with bigger hands, and a 10-14 lb ball would work for most adults with smaller hands. Generally, it's better to have a ball that is a little heavier because it will help you gain momentum. A general rule is that a ball should weigh 10% as much as your body, so if you weigh 140 pounds, you should bowl with a 14 lb ball.
Size of the thumb hole. Your thumb should fit snugly into the single thumb hole. You should be able to take it out of the hole without it snagging or getting stuck, but the hole shouldn't be so large that you have to squeeze your thumb in the hole to hang on.
Size of the middle finger holes. Once you've inserted your thumb, you should lay your middle and ring finger across the other two holes. If the span is correct, your two fingers should easily and comfortably lay over the two holes so the middle joint lines up with the side of the hole closest to your thumb. Curl your two fingers into the holes to make sure they fit snugly in the hole like your thumb.
2-5. Find your bowling lane.
Once you've signed up at the alley and put on your shoes, you will be directed to a bowling lane. If you get to choose your lane, pick a lane that is away from loud or noisy people. But it's your choice: you may be able to bowl better if you're surrounded by other bowlers.
3. Starting Bowling
3-1. Hold the ball correctly
First, pick up your ball and head to the right spot in front of the bowling lane. Place your middle and ring finger in the top 2 holes and place your thumb into the bottom hole.
Hold the ball slightly to your side with your bowling hand underneath the ball and your other hand resting on the bottom side of the ball for extra support.
Keep your thumb on top of the ball at 10:00 position if you're right-handed. Use the 2:00 position if you're a lefty.
3-2. Approach the foul line.
The standard approach consists of standing with your back straight, your shoulders centered squarely towards your target, and your knees slightly bent. Your ball arm should hand straight down by your side. Your back should be tilted slightly forward.
Your feet should be slightly apart and your "slide foot" should be placed slightly in front of the other foot. Your slide foot will be the opposite of the hand you use to bowl (a right handed bowler will slide with their left foot).
3-3. Work on aiming the ball.
Your bowling lane should have a series of dots 7 feet (2.1 m) down the lane, and black arrows about fifteen feet down the lane. If you're a beginning bowler, you should aim to roll the ball in the center of these marks. Once you develop your bowling skills, you can aim to the left or the right of the marks when you hook the ball.
Even if you aim your ball through the center of the marks, you may not be able to hit the pins because the ball can slow down or roll off toward the gutters. Just notice where the ball rolls when you do and don't bowl a solid frame and adjust your aim accordingly. You also want to hit in between the head pin and the pin right next to it. By doing this, you will hit most of the pins, creating more strikes. If you hit the head pin, you will likely create a spilt.
Focus on aiming at the marks, not the pins.
3-4. Release the ball.
Maintain a straight forward, non-twisting approach of your body, as your ball and hand position should be held relatively the same -- underneath and behind the ball during the swing. Swing your ball arm smoothly back and then forward to release the ball. Release the ball when your arm has moved as far forward as it can go.
When released properly, your thumb should come out first, followed by the fingers. This should help get rotation on the ball, which should help the ball hook and carry once it gets down the lane.
Keep your eye on the target you're aiming towards as you release the ball. If you look down at your feet or the ball, you will lose balance and won't be able to aim your ball correctly.
3-5. Wipe your hands after your turn is over.
Make sure your hands are completely dry before you pick up the ball to start bowl each time. Use a cloth to wipe your hands, or at least wipe your hands on your pants if you don't have one. If your hands are still sweaty, the ball can slip out of your hands.
You can also use rosin, which can be found in most pro bowling shops, to make your fingers and thumb slightly tacky and less slippery.
3-6. Keep score throughout the game.
Most bowling alleys will have a computer near the sitting area that allows you to keep score. If an alley doesn't have a computer, then you will be given a score sheet to record your scores. Either way, the process is the same. Here's how to keep score:
The area in the upper left of each frame is to record the first ball, and the box to the left is for the second ball and if you have a strike. A strike is marked with a "X" and a spare with a "/".
3-7. Finish close to the foul line.
The distance between the delivery line and you should be of about 6 inches (15 cm) if you want to have an optimal release. This means that the ball is lofted a small distance over the foul line before it makes contact with the lane. Thus, the ball gets further down the lane and it preserves energy when hitting the pins. Finishing too far from the foul line means you’ll have to move closer to it when you start in the stance.
Remember that a strike is 10 plus the next two balls, whereas a spare is 10 plus the next ball. If you strike in the first ball in the 10th frame, you get two more balls to determine your final score. 300 is the highest score you can get.
4. Improving Your Bowling Game
4-1. Watch bowling on TV.
Carefully observe the professionals and see what techniques they use. You can also watch video clips of expert bowlers online.
Try to imitate the bowler's stances in your own home. Just remember that you're watching experts, and that your bowling technique will be much simpler than theirs.
4-2. Ask for advice.
If you want to really improve your game, seek out help from other, more advanced bowlers and from coaches. It will always help to have a critical eye watching you and you will gain new insight.
4-3. Join a bowling league.
This is a great way to keep up a regular practice and to make new friends.
5. Bowling etiquette
5-1. Read carefully and follow all the specific rules that are posted at the alley.
5-2. While on the lanes, wear only bowling shoes.
5-3. Don’t start bowling until the pin-setting machine has finished its cycle.
5-4. Allow the bowler in an adjacent lane to play first if you both approach the runway at the same time.
Otherwise, the player who arrives first goes first.
5-5. Don’t step or go beyond the foul line, even in casual play.
Bowling is a sport so play fair.
If you cross the foul line, you also risk slipping and other personal injury.
5-6. The ball should be bowled down the lane.
Avoid any throwing or tossing of the ball, as it may damage the lane.
5-7. Don’t play your game on another lane, you should have enough space on your own.
5-8. Always ask for permission first when using someone else’s ball.
5-9. Avoid distracting other players while they are bowling.
Check your language and limit swearing as much as you can.
5-10. Be ready when it's your turn to bowl.
5-11. Try to keep the score accurate.
Almost all alleys have now automated score keeping.
Tips
Stepping is a very important part in bowling. When you start your turn, have the ball at your waist in both hands with your left foot on the center marker. If you are right handed, step out with your right foot, and move the ball outward too. Then next step, you start tossing the ball backwards. Then your third step, the ball is behind you with a swinging motion in progress. Then your final, fourth step, should be your left leg, about three to eight inches away from the foul line, as you quickly swing the ball outward in front of you in however way you are aiming at the pins.
Keep your eye on your target as you are about to bowl.
Ideally, you want the ball to hook into the pocket (1-3 for right handers) to get the best carry for strike, and straighter is usually better for spares, especially single pin.
Warnings
Continue your swing through after releasing the ball to help in preventing injury.
Don't swing your shoulder too far back or it may get hurt.
Don't lose your grip on the ball or it may go flying.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Learning the Basics of Bowling\\n1-1. Understand the bowling lane.\\nBefore you begin to bowl, you have to understand the function of the bowling lane. A bowling lane is 60 feet (18.3 m) long from the foul line, the line closest to the bowler, to the head pin, the pin closest to the bowler. There are gutters on either side of the bowling lane. If a ball veers off the lane, it goes into the gutters and is out of play.\\nThe approach area is 15 feet (4.6 m) long and ends at the foul line. The bowler cannot overstep the foul line during their approach or their shot won't count.\\nIf a ball goes into the gutters and then bounces out and hits the pins, it won't count.\\n1-2. Understand the bowling pins.\\nTen pins are arranged at the end of the bowling lane at the beginning of every frame. They are arranged in a triangle formation, with the point of the triangle facing the bowler. There is one pin in the first row, which is the head pin, two pins in the second row, three in the third, and four in the fourth.\\nThe locations of the pins are assigned numbers 1-10. The pins in the back row have the numbers 7-10, the pins in the row above the back row are numbered 4-6, the pins in the second row are numbered 2-3, and the head pin is pin 1.\\nAll pins will earn the bowler one point if they are hit. The numbers are based on location, not value.\\n1-3. Learn the lingo.\\nBefore you can call yourself a true bowler, you should be aware of a few different bowling terms. Knowing these terms will also make it much easier for you to understand the rules. Here they are:\\nA strike is when you knock down all the pins with the ball on your first try.\\nA spare is when you knock down all the pins on your second try.\\nA split is when the first ball of a frame knocks down the headpin (the pin closest to you) but leaves two or more pins that are non-adjacent. It's tough to hit a spare in this situation, especially if you have a 7-10 split, which is the hardest split to hit.\\nA turkey is three strikes in a row.\\nIf any pins remain after the bowler's turn, it's called an \\\"open frame.\\\"\\n1-4. Understand how a game of bowling works.\\nOne bowling game consists of 10 frames. Each frame is equal to one turn for the bowler. The bowler's objective is to knock down as many pins as possible in a frame, ideally all of them.\\nA bowler can roll the ball twice in each frame, provided that they do not hit a strike.\\nA bowler gets an extra turn on the tenth frame if they knock down all the pins on the first turn.\\n1-5. Learn the scoring\\nIf a bowler has an open frame, then they simply get credit for the number of pins they knocked down. If a bowler knocked down 6 pins after two turns, they simply get two turns. However, if a bowler hits a spare or a strike, the rules get slightly more complicated.\\nIf a bowler hits a spare, then they should place a slash mark on their score sheet. After their next turn, they will receive 10 points plus the number of pins they knock down with that turn. So if they knock down 3 pins after their first turn, then they will get 13 points before their second turn. If they then knock down 2 pins in their second turn, they get a total of 15 points for that round.\\nIf a bowler hits a strike, they should record an X on their scoresheet. The strike will earn the bowler ten points plus the number of pins knocked down on the player's next two turns in the following round.\\nThe most a bowler can score in one game is 300 points. This represents 12 strikes in a row, or 120 pins that were knocked down in 12 frames. A perfect game has 12 strikes and not ten, because if the bowler gets a strike on the last frame, then they can take two more turns. If those two turns are also strikes, they will have 300 points.If a player rolls a spare in the last frame, then they can take one more turn.\\n2. Preparing to Bowl\\n2-1. Find a bowling alley.\\nGo online to find a local bowling alley that suits your needs. Try to find a place that offers bowling lessons or has beginner bowling leagues.\\nIf you want to go bowling with friends, find a place that's rated for having a fun environment and maybe some food and snacks as well.\\n2-2. Go to the bowling alley you've chosen.\\nTalk to the fellow bowlers and staff, and see if you can even join a game. Alternately, you can go to an alley with a group of friends. If you ask a crowd if you can join their game, make sure it isn't too competitive. You may even make new friends at the alley.\\n2-3. Get some bowling shoes.\\nIf you're a beginner, you can just rent shoes at the alley. If you want to kick up your game, you can buy a pair of your own shoes. Street shoes won't work for bowling because they'll either make you stick to the floor instead of sliding naturally, or they'll make you slip too much and injure yourself.\\nIf you don't wear bowling shoes, you can also damage or leave scuff marks on the alley floor. Rent a pair of shoes unless you want to get in trouble before you even start bowling.\\nDon't forget to wear socks or bring socks to the alley. Some alleys sell socks, but they will be expensive.\\n2-4. Choose the right ball\\nBefore you can begin to bowl, you need to find a ball that is the right weight for you and which is the right size for your fingers. The balls will be labeled based on their weight, so a ball with \\\"8\\\" written on it will weigh 8 pounds. Here's how to find a ball of the right size and weight:\\nWeight. A 14-16 lb ball would work for most adults with bigger hands, and a 10-14 lb ball would work for most adults with smaller hands. Generally, it's better to have a ball that is a little heavier because it will help you gain momentum. A general rule is that a ball should weigh 10% as much as your body, so if you weigh 140 pounds, you should bowl with a 14 lb ball.\\nSize of the thumb hole. Your thumb should fit snugly into the single thumb hole. You should be able to take it out of the hole without it snagging or getting stuck, but the hole shouldn't be so large that you have to squeeze your thumb in the hole to hang on.\\nSize of the middle finger holes. Once you've inserted your thumb, you should lay your middle and ring finger across the other two holes. If the span is correct, your two fingers should easily and comfortably lay over the two holes so the middle joint lines up with the side of the hole closest to your thumb. Curl your two fingers into the holes to make sure they fit snugly in the hole like your thumb.\\n2-5. Find your bowling lane.\\nOnce you've signed up at the alley and put on your shoes, you will be directed to a bowling lane.

How to Bowl Fast in Cricket
|
1. Perfecting Your Run Up
1-1. Start your run up from the same point every time.
Count the number of steps you are taking as you approach the crease. Make sure you are consistent to solidify your muscle memory for your delivery.
Practice several deliveries to determine your natural starting position.
Mark this spot on the pitch.
Measure the distance of your starting location to the crease or foul line.
Mark this spot on both ends of the field before you play each match.
1-2. Get a good final bound.
Body position and jump height will vary from person to person. As you practice your run-up, determine what bound feels most natural to achieve the proper foot placement for your delivery. Jump toward the batsman to gain momentum.
A high bound can disrupt your momentum and slow your bowling speed.
Having no bound will give you less power to deliver the ball.
Practice a moderate jump to optimize your form before delivery.
1-3. Land your leading foot in the same location each time you bowl.
Point your toe toward the batter as your hips swivel around. Although the hand position and spin may vary on each delivery, your body mechanics and placement should be consistent. Practice landing in the same spot to prevent being called for no balls.
If you land on your back foot, aim to keep your weight in your toes. Then, transfer your weight to your leading foot as quickly as possible.
1-4. Practice your run up to solidify your technique.
After you have determined the optimum distance, bound height, and foot placement for your delivery, practice over and over so you don't have to think about these items during matches. Let your muscle memory guide your body, and the speed of delivery will come as a natural result.
Run in as you normally would—like an athlete! Aim to gain momentum as you run up.
2. Working on Your Delivery
2-1. Record a video of your bowling delivery to analyze.
It is much easier to evaluate and understand how you are bowling if you are able to watch yourself.
Set up a cell phone or video recorder to record your delivery.
Bowl several deliveries to get a good measure of your form.
Watch your recording to determine what aspects of the delivery need to be adjusted.
2-2. Maintain a fixed elbow flexion during delivery.
Proper arm placement is important in generating faster ball speeds. Avoid using a straight arm delivery and you'll have better results achieving high bowling speeds. Follow through after you’ve bowled the ball.
Keep your non-bowling arm outstretched before bringing it into your body. Imagine you are going to grab the batsman and pull them toward you to help gain speed.
2-3. Use your whole body to generate momentum.
Bowling speed comes from more than just your arm. Make sure your whole body is involved in the delivery of the ball to achieve maximum bowling velocity.
Land your front foot at the same spot relative to the crease each time.
Rotate your upper body using your hips to propel you forward.
Swing your non-bowling arm to whip your bowling arm forward.
2-4. Snap your wrist at delivery.
The direction of your wrist snap aids the movement of the ball in the air. A smooth release punctuated by lots of wrist action helps to improve your bowling speed. A quick snap of the wrist puts an extra burst of momentum on the ball when you let it go.
2-5. Practice bowling a consistent line and length.
Take time to practice knowing where you want the ball to bounce to be as accurate as possible. It won't matter how fast you can bowl if you are consistently being called for no balls.
Mark a target on the ground where you want the ball to bounce.
Set up a single stump to aim for.
Bowl over and over to solidify your muscle memory.
2-6. Work on perfecting different types of fast deliveries.
Fast bowlers employ several specific deliveries in their arsenal with different ball or hand positions for each. Keep opposing batters on their toes by practicing different deliveries. Use different grips and spins to achieve variation in your delivery:
Practice dragging your fingers along the side of the ball as you deliver it to create spin and cause the ball to cut left or right after the bounce.
Try to bowl the ball with little to no spin and perfect the delivery of a yorker. Aim for the batter’s feet and release the ball early.
Position the seam of the ball vertically in your hand so the ball bounces off the seam and veers to the side after the bounce.
3. Improving Strength and Conditioning
3-1. Develop a work out regimen to increase muscle strength.
Although proper technique is crucial to bowling fast, optimizing your body's performance through a consistent work out routine is just as important.
Set aside three days a week for weight training.
Do exercises to strengthen your arms, chest, back, and legs such as bicep curls, bench presses, lat pull downs, and squats.
3-2. Improve your stamina through cardio exercises.
You can increase your body's ability to perform over time by doing cardiovascular exercises like running or jogging.
3-3. Strengthen your core to prevent injury.
Because of the stresses and twists your body undergoes while bowling, having strong core muscles will help prevent injury.
Perform kettle twists by sitting with both hands on one weight; twist from side to side placing the weight next to your legs on each side of your body.
Do crunches to increase abdominal strength.
Hang from a pull up bar and raise your knees toward your chest.
3-4. Practice consistently on a pitch.
Be comfortable playing on the pitch by practicing each week. Make sure you take a few days of rest each week to prevent over exerting your muscles and causing yourself injuries.
Tips
Practice bowling with a batter to improve your deliveries during matches.
Talk with a cricket coach about specific exercises to improve your performance.
Watch professional cricket players, and learn from the movements they use.

How to Bowl Leg Spin
|
1. Getting Ready
1-1. Commit to practice and hard work.
In order to master this skill correctly, you need to be willing to practice long and hard. This skill takes work, and if you don't practice hard enough, it will show.
1-2. Work through the hard period.
In the beginning, you may not have any control of your stock ball. You will eventually become better as you continue practicing.
Remember to keep spinning the ball hard. Even when you are not playing your best, or things seem to be working against you, keep going.
2. Holding the Ball
2-1. Grip the ball properly.
Hold your first two fingers up, and your last two fingers down. Your thumb, first finger, and middle finger should be straight, with your ring and little finger bent down.
2-2. Place your fingers across the seam.
Your first finger, middle finger, and thumb should be curved around the ball. The side of the ball should rest on the bent side of your middle finger. Try to hold the ball softly. If you hold it tightly, your control will be damaged.
2-3. Cock your wrist.
When you go to release the ball, your arm will be straight, and your wrist should be fully bent at your side. You don't want to bend it too hard as you want to keep flexibility.
3. Bowling the Ball
3-1. Align your shoulders, hips, and feet together.
At first, your body should not be facing forward, but turned to the side. Your feet, hips, and shoulders should all be in a straight line at this point. This position allows you to twist your body so you can gain momentum when you go to throw the ball.
3-2. Use your front arm for momentum.
Right before you bowl the ball with your bowling arm, lift your front arm up high. Bring your hands together in the gather phase of bowling the ball. Then, use your front arm to swing down and build momentum while you swing your bowling arm around. This will help your bowling arm gain speed as you raise your arm to bowl the ball.
3-3. Rotate your body for accuracy and speed.
As you lift your elbow and shoulder up, you will turn your body toward the front by bringing your back foot around, and stepping forward. Pivot your front foot to create drive through your hips.
3-4. Bring your arm back.
Your bowling arm will swing around by going back and up over your head toward the front. You will need to use your whole arm and shoulder to perfect this motion.
3-5. Release the ball.
As you do this, you should unbend your wrist by flicking it over, and straightening your fingers. Allow your third finger to generate an anti-clockwise spin.
Your arm will be extended in front of you when the ball releases. The ball will release from the back of your hand near your third finger.
Your palm should be faced downwards when your hand finishes.
3-6. Remember that line and length is important.
Try to land the ball about six feet from the batting crease to prevent the batsman from picking it up.
Tips
Work on your leg break more than anything as it is the most powerful weapon in a leg spinner's arsenal.
Keep your non-bowling arm high when in delivery stride. Flight is an important aspect of spin bowling.
A spin bowler is only as good as his stock ball.

How to Bowl Your Best Game Ever
|
1. Perfecting Your Shot
1-1. Make sure you have a bowling ball that feels comfortable in your hands.
Bowling balls are all made differently, spinning and hooking at different rates. You want a ball you can comfortably raise and lower, but not so light you could throw it around with ease. It's always best to get a ball of your own instead of borrowing it or renting it, as you'll have a better fit and better results.
The average weight for adult men is 14lb and 13lb for women or smaller men. Children usually start at 12lbs.
Make sure your fingers are firmly in the holes but come out without sticking. You shouldn't be squeezing your finger or thumb muscles to keep the ball on your hand, just lightly gripping it.
Balls come with a variety of "Flare Potential" and "RG Radius" ratings. These tell you how likely the ball is to curve back to the middle after a throw. The higher the ratings, the more the ball hooks. Think about your throw -- straight on or hooked, and buy accordingly.
1-2. Get good bowling shoes.
Your bowling shoes are just like regular shoes-- they need to be taken care of and it's always best if they are your own. Good shoes have a smooth, regular sole and fit you comfortably. Get a half size bigger than your regular shoe size so that your feet are comfortable as you bowl.
1-3. Start in an athletic, upright bowling stance.
The most important thing is where you hold the ball. Put your fingers in the holes and balance the ball on your palm around stomach or chest height, using the opposite hand to support the weight. The ball should be slightly to the right side of your body in alignment with the right seam of your shirt (right handed bowlers). Your knees are slightly bent and your shoulders relaxed, and your left foot is on the big dot in the center of the lane (right-handers).
Keep your wrist strong so that the ball appears like a natural extension of your arm. You don't want your wrist to droop down towards the floor.
1-4. Find your mark on the lane.
There are seven arrows on the lane. Do not aim for the middle, as it usually leads to a split. If you're right-handed, aim for the arrow just to the right of the center. If you are left handed aim for the arrow just to the left. This mark is the best starting place for strikes.
If it is easier, move your feet to the right or left before you start approaching the lane so that your feet are lined up with the correct marker, then just throw straight ahead.
Almost all balls will hook, at least a little, and the lanes are designed for this. You want your ball to hit between the first pin and the next one in line behind it for strikes. This is called the "pocket."
1-5. Time your approach so that your opposite foot lands in front of the lane.
The classic move is the 4-step approach, landing with the foot opposite your throwing arm. For right-handers, step forward with your right foot, then comfortably walk forward so that your left foot lands within 6" or so of the lane. Your right foot will then swing out of the way behind your left foot, allowing you to throw the ball freely. Practice a few times without the ball until you find a good starting spot that lets you arrive at the line, left foot down, every time. There are 2 lines of dots along the approach to the lane that are good starting points for you to begin.
Practice taking 4 even steps each time, landing your left foot comfortably, before practicing the throw. You could also start at the foul line (beginning of lane), and walk four steps backward to determine the best starting spot for you.
Reverse this is you are left-handed. The foot opposite your throwing arm should be planted at the lane. If you are left handed, you will land and plant with your right foot.
1-6. Push your arm forward on the first step of your approach.
As you take the first step of the approach, push the ball out in front of you so that your arm is extended. Use your left hand to support the weight of the ball as your hold it in front of you. The following steps will be for a right-handed thrower.
Remember to keep the ball out to the right side, not in the middle of your body.
1-7. Drop your arm so that the ball arcs back towards your leg.
As you take the first step with your left leg, the ball will drop so that your right arm and left leg are roughly even. Keep your grip on the ball and let it fall freely. Your elbow will be slightly bent, but gravity is doing most of the work as the ball comes down.
1-8. Let the ball continue arcing behind you and up towards shoulder height.
As you step again with your right foot, the ball will continue behind your body and up, reaching its apex as you plant your right foot. You will be swinging it back here.
Focus on keeping your wrist strong as you do this, not letting it rotate around. The higher your arm goes back the more powerful the throw will be, do not go too far as this could cause injury.
1-9. Swing the ball down as you plant your left foot by the line.
Come down with the ball, planning to release it as you pass your leg. Your right leg should swing behind the left leg, getting it out of the way for your shot. It doesn't have to swing way out, like a pro bowler, just out of the way enough that you don't hit it with the ball.
1-10. Release the ball by flicking your wrist and fingers up towards your head.
As the ball leaves your fingers, snap them up as if you were closing your hands. Think of the children's game where you have a quarter in your hand and someone is trying to take it before you close your hand. You should release as the ball passes your planted leg, at its lowest point.
Look at your mark when release. Don't look at the pins or you will get distracted and throw off key -- the arrows are your target, and the ball will do the rest. Remember you are aiming for the first or second arrow to the right of the center arrow.
1-11. Follow through.
To protect your arm, continue your arm back up on its arc towards your head. Think of drinking from a soda can, bringing your fingers and wrist up to head height.
2. Hitting More Strikes
2-1. Know where you want the ball to hit.
Strikes are most common when the ball hits the "pocket," the space between the front center pin and the next pin behind it, directly. For right handed bowlers this means curving the ball so it strikes right between the front pin and the second pin on the right. This scatters the front set of pins, cascading them into all of the pins behind them.
More power means the pins scatter faster, potentially knocking over more pins.
Curving the ball is essential to hit consistent strikes. Remember to work on snapping your fingers and wrist as you follow through.
Left-handers want to hit between the front pin and the left pin in the second row.
2-2. Know how lane conditions affect your throw for strikes.
An unknown secret of bowling is that every lane is a little different. Lanes are oiled up so that the ball glides straight over the wood without hooking constantly. When the ball is in less oiled, or "dry" areas, it tends to hook more, taking it off the line you threw it on. To make matters even more complicated, the lane patterns will change throughout the game. But bowling your best game ever requires you to read the lane and adjust your shots accordingly, not throwing the same shot 23 times.
The most common pattern is wet in the front and middle, and dry on the outsides and back, like a big triangle of oil pointing into the center of the lane. This means a throw to the outside will curve back to the middle, where a throw in the middle might not curve until the last second. This is why you aim out to the side, instead of down the center -- it cause the ball to move out, then curve back in right to the pocket.
As the day goes on, oil gets picked up by the balls, making the lane drier and causing the shots to hook more.
Many tournaments have "alternate" oil patterns that force you to change your shots to get strikes. Ask to see an oil pattern or warm-up with different angles and starting positions to find your strike mark.
2-3. Find your strike mark while warming up.
Starting in the center and throwing for the arrow just to the right of center (right-handers) is a great starting place to learn strikes, but you need to adjust it for your personal thrown. Make sure you watch the arrow you throw at, not the pins. If you are hitting your mark, but still missing the pocket, you should move your starting position.
If your ball is going too far to the left, move 2-3 boards to the left. This means your throw will angle more to the right, giving it more time to curve back to the left.
If your ball is moving too far to the right, move your feet 2-3 boards to the right. This will get your ball out of the oil, allowing it to curve more back to the center.
If you still have trouble, or the ball is hooking a ton, move your mark to the right or left. The closer to center your mark is, the less the ball will hook. However, you should move your starting position first.
2-4. Move your starting stance closer to the center as the lane dries up.
Near the end of a game, especially with a big group, you may notice your normal shots are hooking more to the center and you're missing the pocket. As you notice your shots curving more to the center, move 1-2 boards to the left (right-handed throwers) and keep throwing at your normal mark, the arrow just to the right of the center arrow. Focus, again, on having the center of the ball hit this mark, not on the pins. If you're hitting your mark but still missing pins, move your feet starting position to accommodate.
This extra hook happens because the balls pick up oil throughout the game, removing it from the lane and causing it to dry out. A dry lane hooks more.
3. Picking Up Loose Pins and Spares
3-1. Understand how scoring works to plan your shots well.
Knowing how bowling is actually scored helps you decide which pins to go for and when. The basics are easy -- there are ten pins, and each pin you hit is worth a point. However, spares and strikes are worth more than just 10 pins. Strikes (X) are worth 10 points, plus whatever you hit on the next two throws. Spares (/) are worth 10 points, plus whatever you hit on the next throw. This means a single frame can be worth more than 10 points if you get a strike or spare.
For example, say you throw a strike in the first frame. In the second frame you hit 2 pins on the first throw and 3 on the next one for 5 total pins. Your first frame would be worth 15 points (10 for the strike, + 2 for the first throw and + 3 for the second). You still score, however, the 5 points from the second frame too. So your total score, after two frames, is 20 points (15+2+3).
If your throw three strikes in a row, your first frame is worth 30 points, 10 for the strike, plus 10 for the second frame and 10 for the third frame. You cannot score you second and third frames until you take another throw.
Spares add to your next shot only. So, if I throw a spare in one frame, then throw a gutter ball immediately after, my spare is only worth 10 points (10+0), no matter what I do after that. A spare followed by a strike is worth 20 points (10+10).
If you throw a strike or spare in the 10th frame you get a free shot at the end, making the 10th frame the only one with three potential rolls. Thus you should always go for the spare in the 10th frame.
3-2. Remember that speed makes it easier to pickup spares.
Higher speeds mean there is less time for the ball to react and turn off line. Practice a straight, consistent spare shot and you will beat many a people who throw the same shot every time. Everybody can strike. Not everybody spares.
3-3. Lower, or "weaken," your wrist on your shot to get less spin and a straighter throw.
This provides a more accurate shot, as less spin means the ball will hook less. To weaken your wrist, start your shot with your wrist curved slightly down, towards the floor. On your follow through, don't let your wrist and fingers snap up as much. This may take some practice, but changing wrist positions is one of the most important skills for intermediate or advanced bowlers.
3-4. Adjust your starting position based on your spare.
By adjusting your starting position you can often throw right at your normal mark and still get a spare. The boards on the lane (thin wooden pieces running to the pins) are made to give you a measurement system for aiming. If you need to hit a pin left of the center, you move several boards to the right, and vice verse. You then throw at the same mark you aim at for strikes. The system is actually pretty easy to learn and is reversed for the opposite direction of throws.
If you want to hit the first pin to the left of the center, move your start position 3 boards to the right.
If you want to hit the second pin to the left of the center, move 6 boards to the right.
3-5. Use the middle of the lane when trying to hit the far right and left pins.
Most lanes are the slickest in the middle. Oil is applied to lanes in complex patterns that determine how much a ball hooks -- more oil means less hook, or a straighter, more accurate shot. Since a right-hander going after the far right pins doesn't want the ball to curve to the middle, you should throw diagonally across center instead. This ensures a straighter flight, curving just a bit at the end to avoid the gutter and hitting all the pins.
For example, there may be one solo pin on the far right side of the lane. While you could try and hug the gutter, the ball will naturally want to spin to the center because the outside of the line is low on oil. Instead, start your walk from the far left of the lane, throwing the ball from the left diagonally, across the middle, to the far right pins.
3-6. Aim for the most pins possible during a split.
Unless you are skilled enough to hit the outside edge of a lone pin, shooting it like a missile at the pack of three pins in the back corner, you should take the sure-fire three pins. This is especially important if you threw a strike the previous frame, because any pins you hit now get counted twice, once for the strike and once in this frame.
If you didn't get a strike in the previous frame, you might be more likely to take a risk now, trying to get a spare to boost your score for later.
Tips
Practice. Many people fail to grasp that in order to get good, you must put some effort into working for it.
Watch the better bowlers, watch how they hold the ball, how they roll it on the lane. Then develop your OWN style. The game is about knocking down pins, not how much the ball hooks. So do what is comfortable and works best for you and your scores.
Buying your own personal equipment always helps.
Warnings
This will take time and commitment. Don't expect wonderful things to happen to you overnight.
Don't overthrow or you may hurt yourself. Your arm will get used to throwing over time if you treat it well.

These tell you how likely the ball is to curve back to the middle after a throw. The higher the ratings, the more the ball hooks. Think about your throw -- straight on or hooked, and buy accordingly.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Get good bowling shoes.\", \"描述\": \"Your bowling shoes are just like regular shoes-- they need to be taken care of and it's always best if they are your own.

Put your fingers in the holes and balance the ball on your palm around stomach or chest height, using the opposite hand to support the weight. The ball should be slightly to the right side of your body in alignment with the right seam of your shirt (right handed bowlers). Your knees are slightly bent and your shoulders relaxed, and your left foot is on the big dot in the center of the lane (right-handers).\\nKeep your wrist strong so that the ball appears like a natural extension of your arm. You don't want your wrist to droop down towards the floor.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Find your mark on the lane.\", \"描述\": \"There are seven arrows on the lane. Do not aim for the middle, as it usually leads to a split. If you're right-handed, aim for the arrow just to the right of the center. If you are left handed aim for the arrow just to the left.

This is called the \\\"pocket.\\\"\"}, {\"编号\": 5, \"标题\": \"Time your approach so that your opposite foot lands in front of the lane.\", \"描述\": \"The classic move is the 4-step approach, landing with the foot opposite your throwing arm. For right-handers, step forward with your right foot, then comfortably walk forward so that your left foot lands within 6\\\" or so of the lane. Your right foot will then swing out of the way behind your left foot, allowing you to throw the ball freely. Practice a few times without the ball until you find a good starting spot that lets you arrive at the line, left foot down, every time. There are 2 lines of dots along the approach to the lane that are good starting points for you to begin.\\nPractice taking 4 even steps each time, landing your left foot comfortably, before practicing the throw. You could also start at the foul line (beginning of lane), and walk four steps backward to determine the best starting spot for you.\\nReverse this is you are left-handed. The foot opposite your throwing arm should be planted at the lane.

For right handed bowlers this means curving the ball so it strikes right between the front pin and the second pin on the right.

Remember to work on snapping your fingers and wrist as you follow through.\\nLeft-handers want to hit between the front pin and the left pin in the second row.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Know how lane conditions affect your throw for strikes.\", \"描述\": \"An unknown secret of bowling is that every lane is a little different. Lanes are oiled up so that the ball glides straight over the wood without hooking constantly. When the ball is in less oiled, or \\\"dry\\\" areas, it tends to hook more, taking it off the line you threw it on. To make matters even more complicated, the lane patterns will change throughout the game. But bowling your best game ever requires you to read the lane and adjust your shots accordingly, not throwing the same shot 23 times.\\nThe most common pattern is wet in the front and middle, and dry on the outsides and back, like a big triangle of oil pointing into the center of the lane. This means a throw to the outside will curve back to the middle, where a throw in the middle might not curve until the last second. This is why you aim out to the side, instead of down the center -- it cause the ball to move out, then curve back in right to the pocket.\\nAs the day goes on, oil gets picked up by the balls, making the lane drier and causing the shots to hook more.\\nMany tournaments have \\\"alternate\\\" oil patterns that force you to change your shots to get strikes. Ask to see an oil pattern or warm-up with different angles and starting positions to find your strike mark.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Find your strike mark while warming up.\", \"描述\": \"Starting in the center and throwing for the arrow just to the right of center (right-handers) is a great starting place to learn strikes, but you need to adjust it for your personal thrown. Make sure you watch the arrow you throw at, not the pins. If you are hitting your mark, but still missing the pocket, you should move your starting position.\\nIf your ball is going too far to the left, move 2-3 boards to the left. This means your throw will angle more to the right, giving it more time to curve back to the left.\\nIf your ball is moving too far to the right, move your feet 2-3 boards to the right. This will get your ball out of the oil, allowing it to curve more back to the center.\\nIf you still have trouble, or the ball is hooking a ton, move your mark to the right or left. The closer to center your mark is, the less the ball will hook. However, you should move your starting position first.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Move your starting stance closer to the center as the lane dries up.\", \"描述\": \"Near the end of a game, especially with a big group, you may notice your normal shots are hooking more to the center and you're missing the pocket. As you notice your shots curving more to the center, move 1-2 boards to the left (right-handed throwers) and keep throwing at your normal mark, the arrow just to the right of the center arrow. Focus, again, on having the center of the ball hit this mark, not on the pins. If you're hitting your mark but still missing pins, move your feet starting position to accommodate.\\nThis extra hook happens because the balls pick up oil throughout the game, removing it from the lane and causing it to dry out. A dry lane hooks more.\"}]}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Picking Up Loose Pins and Spares\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Understand how scoring works to plan your shots well.\", \"描述\": \"Knowing how bowling is actually scored helps you decide which pins to go for and when. The basics are easy -- there are ten pins, and each pin you hit is worth a point. However, spares and strikes are worth more than just 10 pins. Strikes (X) are worth 10 points, plus whatever you hit on the next two throws. Spares (/) are worth 10 points, plus whatever you hit on the next throw. This means a single frame can be worth more than 10 points if you get a strike or spare.\\nFor example, say you throw a strike in the first frame. In the second frame you hit 2 pins on the first throw and 3 on the next one for 5 total pins. Your first frame would be worth 15 points (10 for the strike, + 2 for the first throw and + 3 for the second). You still score, however, the 5 points from the second frame too. So your total score, after two frames, is 20 points (15+2+3).\\nIf your throw three strikes in a row, your first frame is worth 30 points, 10 for the strike, plus 10 for the second frame and 10 for the third frame. You cannot score you second and third frames until you take another throw.\\nSpares add to your next shot only. So, if I throw a spare in one frame, then throw a gutter ball immediately after, my spare is only worth 10 points (10+0), no matter what I do after that. A spare followed by a strike is worth 20 points (10+10).\\nIf you throw a strike or spare in the 10th frame you get a free shot at the end, making the 10th frame the only one with three potential rolls. Thus you should always go for the spare in the 10th frame.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Remember that speed makes it easier to pickup spares.\", \"描述\": \"Higher speeds mean there is less time for the ball to react and turn off line. Practice a straight, consistent spare shot and you will beat many a people who throw the same shot every time. Everybody can strike. Not everybody spares.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Lower, or \\\"weaken,\\\" your wrist on your shot to get less spin and a straighter throw.\", \"描述\": \"This provides a more accurate shot, as less spin means the ball will hook less. To weaken your wrist, start your shot with your wrist curved slightly down, towards the floor. On your follow through, don't let your wrist and fingers snap up as much. This may take some practice, but changing wrist positions is one of the most important skills for intermediate or advanced bowlers.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Adjust your starting position based on your spare.\", \"描述\": \"By adjusting your starting position you can often throw right at your normal mark and still get a spare. The boards on the lane (thin wooden pieces running to the pins) are made to give you a measurement system for aiming. If you need to hit a pin left of the center, you move several boards to the right, and vice verse. You then throw at the same mark you aim at for strikes. The system is actually pretty easy to learn and is reversed for the opposite direction of throws.\\nIf you want to hit the first pin to the left of the center, move your start position 3 boards to the right.\\nIf you want to hit the second pin to the left of the center, move 6 boards to the right.\"}, {\"编号\": 5, \"标题\": \"Use the middle of the lane when trying to hit the far right and left pins.\", \"描述\": \"Most lanes are the slickest in the middle. Oil is applied to lanes in complex patterns that determine how much a ball hooks -- more oil means less hook, or a straighter, more accurate shot. Since a right-hander going after the far right pins doesn't want the ball to curve to the middle, you should throw diagonally across center instead. This ensures a straighter flight, curving just a bit at the end to avoid the gutter and hitting all the pins.\\nFor example, there may be one solo pin on the far right side of the lane. While you could try and hug the gutter, the ball will naturally want to spin to the center because the outside of the line is low on oil. Instead, start your walk from the far left of the lane, throwing the ball from the left diagonally, across the middle, to the far right pins.\"}, {\"编号\": 6, \"标题\": \"Aim for the most pins possible during a split.\", \"描述\": \"Unless you are skilled enough to hit the outside edge of a lone pin, shooting it like a missile at the pack of three pins in the back corner, you should take the sure-fire three pins. This is especially important if you threw a strike the previous frame, because any pins you hit now get counted twice, once for the strike and once in this frame.\\nIf you didn't get a strike in the previous frame, you might be more likely to take a risk now, trying to get a spare to boost your score for later.\"}], \"小提示\": [\"Practice. Many people fail to grasp that in order to get good, you must put some effort into working for it.\\n\", \"Watch the better bowlers, watch how they hold the ball, how they roll it on the lane. Then develop your OWN style. The game is about knocking down pins, not how much the ball hooks. So do what is comfortable and works best for you and your scores.\\n\", \"Buying your own personal equipment always helps.\\n\"], \"注意事项\": [\"This will take time and commitment. Don't expect wonderful things to happen to you overnight.\\n\", \"Don't overthrow or you may hurt yourself. Your arm will get used to throwing over time if you treat it well.\\n\"]}]}}",

1-2. Under bowling, choose Power Throws (the second one down).
1-3. Bowl for the first 9 stages.
1-4. At the beginning of the tenth stage, press the A button.
Instead of moving your Mii you can adjust the angle of the throw.
1-5. Adjust your angle two clicks to the right.
1-6. Press the A button and move as far right as you can against the barrier.
1-7. Throw the ball up (or loft it), trying not to have any spin on the ball.
1-8. If done correctly, the ball should travel down the barrier.
1-9. If you are left handed, you must do it on the left side.
If you try to do it on the opposite side,
Tips
If your Mii is lefty, just reverse all the steps by going left instead of right.
This will only work on the tenth stage.
If you want, you can also angle two clicks to the right. If you do angle to the right, you have to move your Mii all the way to the right instead of the left.
Warnings
When using the Wii, always remember to wear and tighten the wrist strap to avoid injury/property damage.

How to Bowl a Leg Break
|
1. Gripping the Ball
1-1. Position your fingers.
Hold the ball between your index and middle fingers. Slot the ball between these fingers, so they’re split wide but comfortably and the seam runs between them horizontally. Bend your ring and little fingers, so the inside of your ring finger touches against the side of the ball. Your little finger should rest along your ring finger.
“Two fingers down and two fingers up” is a quick way to remember the grip. Your index and middle fingers are straight and point “up,” while your ring and little fingers are bent and point “down.”
1-2. Keep a small gap between the ball and your palm.
Make sure there is space between your palm and the ball. If it is pushed too far into your palm, then you won’t have the leverage you need to properly spin it. Your wrist and middle finger will do all of the work.
1-3. Keep a loose grip.
Holding the ball too tight also prevents you from getting the right leverage and from controlling the spin. Let it gently rest between your middle and index fingers, with your thumb held close to the index finger but off the ball. Your whole hand will give the ball motion, but only these contact points will give it rotation and curve. Keeping your grip loose allows for more freedom of motion when you spin it.
2. Setting Your Approach
2-1. Get your wrist in position.
Bend your wrist at a 90-degree angle to prepare your delivery, so that if you put your arm straight down and flat at your side, the palm of your hand (and the ball) face upwards. Holding your wrist at this angle will allow you to quickly rotate the ball from right to left when you release it. Remember that the leg break’s rotation comes from the motion of the wrist and middle finger, so set your wrist so you’ll be able to cock it correctly.
2-2. Line your feet, hips, and shoulders up with the target.
Aligning the left side of your body with your target. This will help you aim and control your approach. It will also allow you to gather momentum when you rotate your body when you throw the ball.
2-3. Set your approach and run up at a slight angle.
Get your stance ready for your approach. Your run up cannot too straight nor too angled. Either extreme will prevent you from rotating the ball properly and from using your non-bowling arm for momentum.
3. Releasing the Ball
3-1. Use your non-bowling arm to steer.
Right before you bowl, lift and slice your non-bowling arm down hard in front of you. Use your arm and the left side of your body to give you more momentum. Let this motion draw your bowling shoulder forward.
3-2. Rotate your body to the front.
Use the left side of your body to guide your motion. As you throw, bring your back foot around and step forward. At this point, bring your bowling arm up and over your head towards the front.
3-3. Spin your wrist and ball from right to left as you release it.
The movement is generated from your middle finger as your wrist turns, so the ball makes a counter-clockwise motion upon release. If bowled correctly, the ball will bounce quickly to the left when it hits the ground (in the direction of its spin). The back of your hand facing you the whole time, and your palm ends facing downwards.
Your stride should be shoulder-length apart.
You should complete your follow-through with your bowling shoulder facing the target.
Tips
Don't get frustrated if you're having trouble learning these. They are difficult to bowl and can only be mastered through a lot of patience and practice.
Practice. This is a really difficult technique, so putting in the time and practice is essential to perfecting this move.
Use targets and a net when you practice your bowling technique.
Warnings
Don't try too hard to spin the ball as this will disrupt your action and lead to no-balls.
Keep your grip loose and don't over-cock your wrist. Keeping both relaxed helps maintain flexibility and range of motion.

How to Bowl a Strike
|
1. Selecting equipment
1-1. Determine whether you will be using a "house ball" or will be buying your own.
Most people start with a "house ball" and "house shoes" as this is the cheapest option. There are normally many "house balls" to choose from and these are supplied, free-of-charge, by the bowling alley. Shoes may be rented for one price which covers your entire bowling session.
The other option is get your own ball and have it custom-fitted to your hand for your individual swing and release. The fitting and drilling can often be accomplished on the spot (if the resident pro is in the bowling center at the time). The pro will be able to advise you on the best ball composition and weight for your skill level, budget, bowling style, and aspirations.
You might be able to find a bargain ball online or in a local store, but you will likely have trouble sorting all the options and should expect to pay the pro to fit you and drill the ball. It is not recommended to get your ball fitted and drilled at a box store unless they specialize in sporting equipment, and, in particular, bowling supplies. If you buy from the pro shop, though, you will have free advice and free drilling.
1-2. Decide on your grip.
If you purchase your ball, you will have two basic choices:
The where the middle and ring finger go into the ball up to the second joint of each finger. This is the only grip option if you are using a "house ball." In this option, a custom ball is drilled to accommodate the natural slant of your fingers in relation to each other and to the radius of the ball. Don't worry about this, though—the pro will take care of all the measurements and should make adjustments over your next few bowling sessions. There should be no charge for the adjustments, but ask just to be sure.
The in which the middle and ring finger go into the ball only up to the first joint. The fingertip grip affords more leverage at release, allowing you to put more "juice" on the shot—that is, impart more revolutions on the ball per unit time. Normally, with a fingertip grip, there will be rubberized inserts in each finger hole. These afford a surer grip. Again, the pro will set you up and should make adjustments gratis.
1-3. Get your ball fitted and drilled.
If you are purchasing your ball, the pro will take care of measuring your hand. Have the pro watch a couple of your shots. That way the fit will account for your natural delivery style. If you have not bowled before, you might want to get a bit of instruction before showing the pro your shot. If you ask, the pro will give you a quick run-down on the basics and get you started off on the right foot. In the meantime, finish reading this article to get a basic idea of the fundamental bowling swing which will get you strike after strike after strike.
Undoubtedly the pro will offer you the opportunity to purchase a bag and recommended accessories. You can purchase these on the spot or wait and see what turns up in the local thrift shops. Often bowling equipment shows up in good shape and you can pick up a ball for the kids and a bag for yourself. Really all you need at this point is a bowling ball sling, also known as a buffer bag.
1-4. Pick your bowling shoes.
It is mandatory that you use shoes specially designed for bowling. These have medium-soft, rubber heels which stop you smoothly, but quickly at the release point. The soles are of leather and are designed to slide smoothly across the approach boards as you prepare to release your shot. Rental shoes are available at the desk and are normally paid for when you get your lane assignment.
If you plan to join a weekly bowling league, house shoes are often included with the weekly fees. Ask about this. If your center does not include free shoes for leagues, you will save money, overall, by purchasing your own shoes right away. They will be available in the pro shop or you can shop for bargains around town and online.
A word of caution about the shoes: Take care not to step in any liquid or spills. Bowling shoes are designed to slide smoothly right until the release. If you step in water, for example, your slide will stop soon as it starts, which is dangerous and may cause injury.
1-5. Choose a house ball.
Balls come in various weights which will likely be stamped into the balls. Alternatively, the balls will be color-coded. For the color-coded option, the key should be posted conspicuously in the bowling center. If not, ask at the desk.
Pick a ball which seems fairly light. Holding the ball cradled in both hands, extend your arms fully in front of your chest. If you can hold the ball for only a couple of seconds without straining, you have found a good starting weight. If the ball wants to drop as soon as you push it away from your body, the ball is too heavy—try something a bit lighter. If you can hold the ball at arm's length for quite some time, the ball is way too light. You want the heaviest ball that you can reasonably control. If it is too light, you will be able to jerk it this way and that during the swing and you will have inconsistent results.
Support the ball with your non-dominant hand underneath. Insert the thumb of your bowling hand (your dominant hand) into the largest diameter hole and drape your middle finger and ring finger over the two remaining holes.
Look for something where the crease of the second joint of both fingers is just over the edge of each hole. If the finger holes are too far away and the edge of the hole falls between your first and second joint, you will not be able to seat your fingers into the holes all the way—the span is too great. On the other hand, if the span is too small, the palm of your hand will not rest on the ball surface and you will, necessarily, adopt a pincher grip. This is not a power grip and will result in a weak shot and relatively few strikes.
Take the time to find at least one ball with a proper, comfortable span for your hand. If you are having a truly difficult time finding a ball of your targeted weight that has the proper span, there is a strong possibility that you have picked a weight that is too heavy or light. The heavier balls will normally have a larger span, so you will need to look at balls that are heavier or lighter according to your needs. If you are having trouble, ask the bowling center staff for assistance. They will help you arrive at a reasonable compromise for weight and span.
If you have identified several balls of the proper starting weight and span, look for the one with the snuggest, most comfortable finger holes. Typically, the finger holes are drilled over-large. If you are finding that your fingers do not fit in the balls, you have chosen a weight that is too light, perhaps a kid's weight with proportionately smaller finger holes. You want holes which are fairly snug, but release your fingers easily.
2. Choosing the proper starting position
2-1. Determine your starting distance from the foul line.
Stand with your back to the pins and your heels at the foul line. Take four and a half normal steps toward the scoring area and note the location where your toe-tip ends. Generally this will be between the five round dots and the start of the approach.
If you find that your normal steps take you off of the alley, your will have to start with your heels hanging a bit off the raised approach area and start with smaller steps, building your pace and the length of your steps as you get closer to the foul line. In this way you will avoid going over the line which stretches from gutter to gutter (at the start of the gutter).
If you go over the foul line or any part of your body touches the lane past this line, your pin fall is not counted and the pins are reset. However, you still lose your shot (two per frame, maximum, but possibly three shots in the tenth frame only.)
2-2. Start with the toe of your on the board with the center dot.
Before you start rolling strikes in every frame, you'll need to figure out the best possible position from which to start your approach. Your non-dominant foot will be whichever is opposite your bowling hand. If you bowl right, this will be your left foot. Put your left foot forward, aligned just behind the center dot.
Eventually, you can adjust your starting alignment based on your natural tendencies, but to start out and gauge your aim, try starting in the center.
2-3. Aim for the second arrow from the gutter on your dominant side.
About fifteen feet from the foul line, you'll see the directional arrows that help you aim.
The center of the lane is generally the most oily part. Keeping the ball somewhat to the side is a good way to maximize your traction on the lane.
2-4. Take several practice rolls to see where the ball goes.
Bowl naturally, keeping your shoulders parallel with the foul line and swinging your arm forward as straight as possible. Follow through when you release. Your hand should extend as if you were going to shake someone's hand. Pay careful attention to where the ball lands.
The "pocket" is the area immediately to one or the other side of the lead pin, and is the area you want to hit to consistently roll strikes. Did you hit the pocket? If so, you've found the correct starting position for your swing. You'll want to align your non-dominant foot with the center dot.
2-5. Move in the direction of your miss.
If you missed right, start your next throw a dot to the right of the center point. If you missed left, do the opposite. While this may seem counter-intuitive, missing to one side means that your ball is hooking too early or too late. Keep the ball dead on by moving toward your miss.
After several practice throws you should be able to find your optimum starting position from which to bowl. From there, you can tweak your throw to improve your chances of hitting a strike every time.
3. Improving Your Accuracy
3-1. Practice your curve.
Pro bowlers all bowl with some "English," or curvature on the ball. Because the pocket you're aiming for is somewhat on an angle, the best way to hit it is to curve the ball in toward the pocket from the edge of the lane. This is why you aim for an arrow to the side of the center.
The best way to ensure English on your throw is to maintain good "handshake" position on your follow-through. After you release the ball, your hand should be up in the air as if you were going to shake the hand of the pin you're aiming toward.
3-2. Find the right bowling ball.
Using a ball that is too heavy or too light can drastically affect your accuracy. Experiment with balls that are slightly heavier than what feels normal and balls that are slightly lighter than you would normally use. Does your accuracy improve in either direction?
3-3. Find the right speed.
Firing the ball from the rocket launcher that is your bowling arm may seem like a good idea at first, but it's not necessarily the most accurate way to throw. Extra force will often leave pins on the floor that softer and more accurate throws will pick up. In general, though, you should throw the ball with as much force as you can throw accurately.
Some modern alleys track the speed of your ball. Try to reduce the speed of your shot in small increments if you are blowing the pins off the lane. Slower, precise pocket hits will keep the pins on the lane and allow them to mix, improving your chance of clearing the deck and producing a strike.
3-4. Adjust your grip on the bowling ball.
Gripping too tightly, particularly with the thumb, can hook the ball in an inaccurate direction. Insert your fingers into the ball first. If you've got an appropriately fitted bowling ball, they should go in as far as your big knuckle. Use your non-bowling hand to steady the ball on your approach.
You'll typically want the thumb to release the ball a split second before the fingers. Make sure your fingernails are neat and trimmed to avoid catching on the fingerholes and throwing wonky balls.
Tips
Find the ball that your comfortable with. Don't start with a 16# ball if you can barely use it. Instead, start with a medium weight, like a 12# ball (or lighter).
Make sure you have the heaviest ball that you can comfortably handle.
Aim between the 1 and 3 pocket.
Warnings
Do not cross the foul line. The lane is oily and is very slick. You will end up sprawled on the lane.

How to Bowl a Successful Inswinger
|
1. Bowling an Inswinger Front-On
1-1. Position the ball with the seam straight up and down.
As a front-on bowler, the seam should be entirely vertical.
Put your first two fingers close together at the top of the ball on the seam.
Rest your thumb on the seam underneath the ball.
Make sure that you angle the shiny half of the ball away from the batsman. The rough side needs to face the direction you want to swing it.
1-2. Start your run-up.
The run-up in the preparation a bowler makes for delivery as he builds momentum and approaches the crease, which is demarcated by a painted line. Run quickly toward the line to create the maximum amount of momentum possible, while still allowing you to stay in control of your ball, body, and posture. Front-on bowling often uses a high speed run-up.
Swing bowling is a type of pace bowling, and in this type of bowling, the run-up has been shown to contribute almost 20% of the ball’s velocity. It's important to run quickly.
In cricket, the length of your run-up is a personal part of the game. Many great cricket players have different approaches to the run-up, approaching from different distances and angles. Practice to figure out what feels most natural.
As you are running and when you land, keep your weight in the balls of your feet. This will increase your speed and give you great control over your movements.
When you are running, utilize your back. Before you reach the crease, bend backwards so that you will be able to create a stronger forward momentum at the moment of delivery.
1-3. Execute your delivery stride.
During the run-up, the delivery stride begins three or four strides before the crease. In these final few steps, acceleration stops, and your pace should remain steady. Your footwork is an important part of creating a smooth delivery.
As a front-on bowler, in the very last step before you deliver the ball, land with both your feet pointed toward the wicket, in other words, in the direction the ball will travel.
Though both your feet are pointed in the same direction, your dominant foot should be positioned in the back, to give you leverage when you release. Usually, right-handed bowlers use their right foot as the back foot.
1-4. Set up your body.
Like your footwork, your body positioning is an important aspect of successful delivery. As a front-on bowler, you will look down the inside of your bowling arm to sight the target. Place your non-bowling arm to the side of your head.
Your hips and shoulders should be open wider than 180 degrees.
Usually, the non-bowling arm is held vertically right before the delivery motion.
1-5. Release the ball.
After you reach the crease, it’s time to deliver the ball. At the point of release, you will be directly facing the batsman.
Make sure your delivery arm is stiff, rather than bent. You want to maintain a relaxed wrist but keep the position of your grip.
Release the ball at the highest possible point for maximum swing. Use the downward motion of your non-bowling arm to create additional power.
Run through the crease. Many front-on bowlers continue through the crease after they release the ball. This allows for a stronger release and a continuity of movement.
2. Bowling an Inswinger Side-On
2-1. Get your ball into position.
As a side-on bowler, hold the seam at an angle. It should point toward the fine leg position in the field.
Your top two fingers should rest close together on the top of the ball with your middle finger directly on the seam. Your thumb should rest on the bottom of the ball at the seam.
Position the shiny side of the cricket ball away from the batsman.
2-2. Begin your run-up.
The run-up is the period of running before release at the crease, which is a white line marked on the field. In cricket, the run-up is essential in creating the velocity of the ball, and in turn, performing an outstanding Inswinger.
Every bowler approaches run ups differently, and there is no determined right or wrong length for a run up. Practice running up from different distances and angles to see what feels most natural.
The length of the run up depends on how long you need to achieve your maximum force without losing control over your form.
In general, side-on bowlers tend to favor a slower run up speed.
2-3. Set your feet.
The last few paces before you reach the crease are the delivery stride. In this stride, you should seek to maintain your speed without accelerating. As you reach the crease, the positioning of your feet is important.
As a side-on bowler, your feet should stop parallel to the crease. You should maintain a comfortable width between them.
At the moment of delivery, you should transfer your weight from your back foot to your front foot. For a right-handed bowler, the back foot is usually the right foot.
The majority of your weight, during the run up and when you land, should be in the balls of your feet. This will assure you have maximum control over your movements.
2-4. Position your body.
The way you set up your posture during delivery can make or break your Inswinger. As a side-on bowler, in the last step before you release the ball, you should turn your body so that your left shoulder points toward the batsman. To align your shoulders with your hips, your non-bowling arm should be in front of your head.
Usually, the non-bowling arm is held vertically before the release of the ball. Keep the ball in your bowling hand close to your head.
Rotate the front arm high, and sight your target on the outside of your front arm.
2-5. Deliver the ball.
In this moment, you want to make sure you release the ball from the highest vantage point that you can.
Make sure your delivery arm is stiff rather than bent. You want to maintain a relaxed wrist but keep the position of your grip.
To create this movement, use both of your arms. The movement should look like the beginning of a cartwheel.
When you are transitioning your weight onto your front foot, engage your whole body. Use the bend in your back to create additional momentum.
3. Perfecting Your Technique
3-1. Keep your ball in great condition.
When bowling an Inswinger, it’s important to make sure you have a good ball.
Shine your ball after every bowl. Use your saliva or sweat on the shiny side of the ball, and then polish it on your clothes. Make sure you don’t get other substances on the ball, like sunscreen, as this can ruin the leather.
Shining the ball helps it to swing effectively because the smoother side lets air flow around it more easily than the rougher side, and so it creates a better swing.
3-2. Play with the length of your run up.
It can take time to find the run up that feels the most comfortable for you. Take some time to do drills, and try different techniques. Give yourself time to create a habit.
Enlist the help of a friend or coach. In a field or even in your yard, mark out a starting point for your practice run-up. With the ball in hand, start at this point.
With your eyes closed, run until it feels right to release the ball, but don’t actually deliver your ball. Have your friend mark where you stop. Repeat this around 15 times until a pattern begins to emerge. Count the number of strides it takes you to get to the point at which you have been stopping.
This exercise will help you determine a run-up that is natural for you.
3-3. Practice alone.
You don’t need a coach or team to practice your Inswinger technique.
Try setting up a simple stake in the ground, made from a branch, to show you where the batsman would be.
Use a piece of rope or duct tape as the crease, so you know when to deliver the ball and can practice your run-up properly.
3-4. Build your general strength.
Like any sport, being a skilled cricket player requires a level of athleticism.
Work on your arm strength by doing simple weight lifts and push-ups every other day.
Make sure you keep up your cardiovascular strength by running moderate distances. This will help to improve your stamina.
Utilizing a handgrip strengthener can help improve your grip on the ball.
Maintaining your basic fitness will give you greater control over your game.
Tips
Use this ball as a surprise ball if your stock ball is an Outswinger. This will catch the batsman unaware.
Consider bowling front-on. If you don’t already have a set bowling style, bowling front-on is slightly more conducive to a successful Inswinger.
Warnings
Make sure you practice before using the Inswinger in a match. If the ball goes down leg side, you are practically giving away free runs.

How to Bowl a Yorker
|
1. Performing the Yorker
1-1. Hold the ball as you would a fast ball.
Take your normal stance and prepare for your run-up. Position your index and middle fingers to either side of the middle seam. Your thumb should be to the inside of the same side of the seam as your pointer finger.
When gripping the ball to throw a fast ball, the joints of your fingers should wrap around the contour of the ball to hold it away from the palm of your hand.
Don’t let the yorker’s reputation as a difficult throw put you on edge. Relax. Take a few breaths. A smooth, consistent throw will improve accuracy.
1-2. Take aim.
Really narrow your focus on a feature somewhere around the batsman. Fix your gaze on the crease line or the base of one of the stumps. You might even find it useful to focus on a feature of the batsman, like their toes. Lock your eyes here for the duration of your delivery.
By training yourself to focus on a particular point, you’ll limit variables that could affect your delivery. This will allow you to devote more attention to other areas, like form.
An ideal yorker will land as close to the batsman as possible while still bouncing before crossing the crease. Envision yourself completing this throw to improve accuracy.
1-3. Adjust the pace of your run-up.
Slowing things down a bit might be just what you need to nail your target. But the opposite can also be true. Try a slower and quicker than normal pace for your run up when bowling a yorker. Test each to see which works best for you.
In some cases, your normal bowling speed might be your most accurate pace. Accuracy is everything when bowling a yorker.
1-4. Drive with your shoulder as you throw the ball.
The motion for throwing a yorker is much the same as a normal fast throw, but the shoulder of your bowling arm is especially crucial when delivering a yorker. While delivering, drive your shoulder in the direction of the bottom of the stumps.
Driving with your shoulder will improve the fullness and speed of your yorker. Take time to practice this motion intentionally.
1-5. Throw the ball so it lands close to the batsman.
Try to get as close to the batsman as possible. Ideally, the ball will land right before the batsman’s feet. This provides little time for him to dig out the ball and hit it into play.
Place your feet so you are well balanced at the moment of release. Doing so will have a positive effect on your accuracy.
1-6. Practice frequently and adjust your form as necessary.
Small adjustments can make a world of difference. Try to only adjust one aspect of your throw at a time so you can isolate and improve problem areas. Have a coach or a teammate watch and comment on your form.
Record a video of yourself throwing yorkers on your phone. Compare this to YouTube videos of yorkers thrown by cricket professionals. Imitating the pros might improve things.
2. Choosing the Right Moment
2-1. Bowl a yorker towards the end of close games.
The yorker can give you an advantage in a pivotal moment. Delivering a yorker properly lands it on the batsman’s feet. Batsmen have practically no time to react to this kind of throw and dig out the ball.
2-2. Use a variety of throws so opponents are unprepared for a yorker.
Remember, the yorker is your ace-in-the-hole. If your opponents are on guard for your yorker from the start, it could cost you later on when you need it the most.
Using a variety of throws has the added bonus of improving your odds of a successful throw.
To improve variety, you might try bowling inswingers, outswingers, and throwing balls with offspin.
2-3. Save yorkers for when you feel confident.
Especially during a big game, you might want to hold off on attempting a yorker until you’re well-practiced and confident in your ability. Nerves could turn your yorker delivery into an easy hit if you’re not careful.
3. Training to Bowl a Yorker
3-1. Set aside a block of time to drill yorkers during practice.
It’s easy to over practice bowling and strain your arm, so break frequently and allow your arm time to recover in between practice sessions. To keep yourself from overdoing it, try practicing with the following maximum limits:
Players age 10 to 13: 12 yorkers/practice
Players age 14 to 15: 14 yorkers/practice
Players over 16: 20 yorkers/practice
3-2. Drill yorkers toward the end of practice.
Yorkers are most commonly bowled at the end of games, so you may be tired in the moment you need to bowl a yorker the most. To give yourself the best chances of delivering a perfect yorker in tired-out condition, save yorker drills for the end of practice.
Encourage yourself when practicing yorkers by rewarding yourself with one fewer lap run at the end of practice for every good yorker thrown.
3-3. Perfect your speed and delivery.
Try to start and end your run-up in the same position every time. When you take your final bound, keep it consistent and controlled. Have you tried snapping your wrist when you release the ball? This can add some heat to your yorker.

How to Bowl an Easy Bowling Strike in Wii Sports
|
1. Steps
1-1. Press right on the D-pad on the Wii remote (Be sure that you have move as opposed to turn selected) to move right.
1-2. Get the red guideline that pops up when you are moving your Mii in line with the two last notches on the bowling alley floor (These notches are slightly closer together than the rest).
1-3. Press and hold 'b' and roll the 'ball' as hard as you can.
1-4. Release it when your arm is pointing straight down, so that the ball will roll along the alley, and won't hop when you release it.
If done correctly, the ball will then curve, and crash directly into the first pin. You should get a strike.
1-5. Another way to get a lot of strikes is to keep swinging your arm with the B button down, until your Mii gets to the start of the lane.
Let go just as the arm swings up.
Hold and swing the wii remote as instructed.
Do not release the button. Before doing so, swing it back, and then swing it forward again, and then This makes the shot straighter, and usually results in you getting a strike. You can also swing so you get a fast throw that goes across the ground normally.
Do not twist your wrist unnaturally.
If it spins too much, move your mii closer to the side that you bowl from best.
Practice until it spins just the right amount to hit the front pin.
Tips
Keep practicing at this, as it is possible.
These instructions still work when done the opposite way (so moving to the last two left notches, etc.), with either hand. But this is recommended for the right so the left won't work so well.
Warnings
When bowling the ball, make sure you have the wrist strap on. If you bowl with all your might and let go of the Wii Remote accidentally, you are likely to break your TV and the Wii remote.

How to Bowl an Outswinger in Cricket
|
1. Preparing the Ball
1-1. Select a relatively young ball.
Aerodynamics play a crucial role in swing bowls, and the longer a ball has been in use, the more its surface changes over time. Balls that have been in use for 20 years or more tend to effect a “reverse swing,” which means that the technique used to pitch a natural outswinger may result in an inswinger instead.
1-2. Choose one side of the ball to polish.
The primary seam of a cricket ball runs along the ball’s center, creating two halves. Polishing one half will decrease air resistance on that side, causing the ball to swing in the direction of its other, rougher side when thrown.
1-3. Apply spit or sweat to the polished side.
Rub it in with your trousers. Repeat frequently throughout the game, in between each delivery.
1-4. Inform your teammates as to which side is which to ensure consistency.
Encourage them to shine the ball further while it’s in their possession during the match.
2. Gripping the Ball
2-1. Angle the seam toward the slips.
Rather than keeping the primary seam vertical, it should be angled slightly away from the batter.
2-2. Hold the ball with the polished side facing the batsman, or their “leg side.”
The aim of the out swing is to force the batsman to strike the ball away from his body, on his “off side.” Since the ball will swing in the direction of its rough side, grip the ball with the rough half facing the batsman’s off side.
2-3. Grip the ball with your thumb along the seam on the bottom.
Spread your index and middle fingers slightly apart from each other along the seam on top.
2-4. Aim the seam at your first or second slip fielder.
The ball will swing wherever you aim the seam, so angling the seam away from the batsman, at a 15-20º toward the slips, will send the ball towards them instead of directly at the batsman.
3. Running up to Bowl
3-1. Allow plenty of distance for your run-up.
More distance will allow you to build momentum for a powerful delivery.
3-2. Face your target.
Your body’s momentum will instinctively follow the direction in which your head is aimed. Hold your head steady with your eyes fixed on your target.
3-3. Balance your run.
Speed alone can deliver a powerful bowl, but a steady rhythm helps, too. Keep your speed consistent and your motions fluid, balanced, and relaxed.
3-4. Increase your strides as you near the batsman.
Run straight in like an athlete as you approach the stump.
4. Bowling the Ball
4-1. Bowl close to the stump.
Once bowled, the ball should ideally begin to swing late in its delivery. Decrease the distance between yourself and the batsman before you bowl to ensure that the ball doesn’t swing too soon.
4-2. Tempt the batsman to play the ball.
Aim at either the stump itself or very close to it.
4-3. Focus on your front arm.
Keep it high at first. Then, as you bowl, pull it straight down, close to your body. This will keep the front of your body clear for your bowling arm to follow through after the ball’s release.
4-4. Release the ball.
Pitch it while your bowling arm is still high. When you release the ball, angle your wrist down and across the ball toward the slips. Follow through by bringing your bowling arm down across your body so that your fingers touch your other armpit.
Tips
Take the weather into account; conditions that are both hot and dry may reduce a ball’s swing.[15]
X
Research source
On cloudy days, the ball will swing more.
Before attempting the outswinger, practice throwing the ball with your sole focus on keeping the seam vertical once the ball is released. Once you’ve mastered this, practice aiming your out swing by establishing a target at the approximate distance that a batsman would be upon release of the ball; aim the ball so that it swings through the air toward the target.[16]
X
Research source
When you bowl, try to think about what shot you wish the batsman to play and not just where you wish to put the ball.
Warnings
If you’re left-handed and facing a right-handed batsman, you should also bowl an inswinger or reverse swing for the same reason.
If you’re right-handed and facing a left-handed batsman, bowl an inswinger or reverse swing instead to achieve the same effect. The idea of the out swing is to force the batsman to swing outward, away from their body, toward their “off side.” If they’re left-handed, however, their off side will be to their left.

When pitched by a right-handed bowler to a right-handed batsman, an out swing will make the ball curve toward the bowler’s left as it approaches the opposing batsman, increasing the likelihood that, when hit, the ball will be caught by either the bowler's fellow wicket-keeper or slip fielders.\", \"结构\": {\"方法\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Preparing the Ball\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Select a relatively young ball.\", \"描述\": \"Aerodynamics play a crucial role in swing bowls, and the longer a ball has been in use, the more its surface changes over time.

How to Bowl in Cricket
|
1. Gripping the Ball to Seam Bowl
1-1. Place your thumb on the seam of the ball.
A worn cricket ball will have a rough side and a smooth side, separated by a seam. Depending on velocity and rotation, this difference in surface texture will cause the ball to "swing" through the air from one side to the other.
If bowled at velocities over 70 miles (110 km)-per-hour, the ball will swing toward the smooth side of the ball.
If bowled below 70 miles (110 km)-per-hour, the ball will swing toward the rough side of the ball.
1-2. Place your index finger on the seam, opposite your thumb.
Bowled with this grip, the seam will force the ball to bounce in a certain direction. When bowled from the right hand, the ball will bounce to the bowlers left. To the right, when thrown from the left hand.
Cricket balls that are new may have very little difference between the smooth and rough sides. This makes them less prone to "swing" through the air when bowled.
1-3. Hold the ball so that the seam is parallel to your index finger.
When bowled from the right hand, the ball will strike the ground on the left side of the seam and will bounce away from a right-handed batter's "off side."
1-4. Place your middle finger to the right of the seam, approximately a quarter of the way down the ball.
If you keep your middle finger closer to your index finger you will be able to bowl with more velocity, however, it will be more difficult to bowl with control.
Depending on your release, you may benefit from a different middle finger position. Experiment to see what your prefer.
1-5. Wrap your ring finger and pinky into a loose fist.
When you do so, there should be very little, if any, contact between the ball and these fingers.
To throw a leg cutter, place your middle finger on the seam and allow your index finger to rest on the right side of the ball.
This slight variation in angle will cause the ball to hit the ground on the opposite side of the seam, forcing it to bounce the other direction (toward the "off side" of a right-handed batter).
2. Bowling and Releasing the Ball
2-1. Carry the cricket ball close to your chin.
Bend your elbow and be sure to extend it away from the body while you make your "run-up." You should resemble a waiter or waitress carrying a platter of food.
2-2. Coil your body and lean back.
As you make your approach, turn from the waist so that your bowling shoulder is behind you. Be sure to keep your weight back once your twist your body.
You will generate more energy and velocity the better you can learn to shift your weight.
If you shift too early it will affect the speed of your "run-up."
2-3. Drop your elbow as you plant your bowling leg.
Once you begin to drop your elbow, allow your bowling arm to fall to your side. Your weight should still be shifted and your body should still be coiled.
2-4. Straighten your elbow and arm.
When you plant your lead foot, straighten your elbow and allow your hand to swing down toward the ground. This will straighten your bowling arm.
Make sure you plant your lead foot so that it points toward the batter.
2-5. Shift your weight to the lead leg.
Allow your body to uncoil as you shift your weight forward to your lead foot.
2-6. Thrust your bowling shoulder forward.
When you plant your lead foot, imagine that your body is a whip and begin to thrust your shoulder forward as soon as you feel your momentum begin to carry you.
Shifting your weight properly will generate momentum.
2-7. Swing your arm like a windmill.
Keeping your elbow straight, rotate your arm behind you and swing it over-the-top toward the batter.
Throws are illegal in cricket. If you bend your arm and lead with the elbow it will count as a throw.
The shoulder must be the body part through which power is generated.
Umpires will call a "no ball" when a player throws or "chucks."
2-8. Snap your wrist forward just before you release the ball.
This will not only add a little more velocity to the bowl, but will also create the proper angle of release.
Snapping your wrist also prevents you from releasing the ball too late, which is often times the result of a player compensating for an improper angle of release.
Overtime, a late release can result in excessive stress and/or injury to the bowling shoulder.
2-9. Release the ball.
When your hand reaches the peak of your delivery arc, release the ball and allow it to roll off the tips of your index and middle fingers. Remember to keep your arm straight so that you do not suffer any elbow injuries, or illegally "throw" the ball.
Because of its weight, a cricket ball can cause injury to the elbow if it is "thrown" or bowled incorrectly.
2-10. Follow through properly.
After your release the ball, fold your bowling arm into your chest and relax your elbow.
2-11. Bend your elbow.
As you bend your elbow, relax your forearm and hand, allowing your arm to wrap around your waist or stomach.
Tips
Velocity is generated from momentum. Momentum is determined by your running speed and how well you time the shifting of your weight when you bowl.
When bowling straighten your arms out and move them like a windmill this helps you imagine and will make it easier to bowl.
Warnings
Be careful not to develop a release that is "late." With time, a late release can cause stress and injury to the bowling shoulder.
Be sure you do not "throw" the cricket ball, or lead with the elbow as your bowl. Doing so can cause harm to the elbow and will cause a "No Ball" to be called.

How to Bowl the Doosra
|
1. Bowling the Doosra
1-1. Hold the ball like a fast bowler.
Position your index and middle fingers on either side of the seam. For better ball control, your index finger should just about touch the seam. Your thumb may rest on the ball, but this usually doesn't affect delivery. Use your remaining two fingers to hold the ball in place.
1-2. Position your bowling arm vertically and close to your head.
Place your wrist at its highest point with your palm facing left (roughly towards the cover position). Keep your arm bent at 15 degrees or less. Anything more than 15 degrees is considered illegal in cricket.
1-3. Step forward with your non-dominant foot.
Plant the sole of your foot flat on the ground. Position the leg on your bowling side behind you with your toe pointed. Make sure your feet remain aligned during this step.
1-4. Rotate your torso.
Pivot your waist at a perpendicular angle from the batter. Position your torso toward the side of your bowling hand. For example, if you're bowling with your right hand, your torso should face right.
1-5. Raise your non-bowling arm.
This will help to keep your body balanced. Rotate your shoulder so that your arm is above your head. Bend the elbow of this arm. Position the forearm and hand of this arm toward your bowling hand.
1-6. Position your legs.
Raise the thigh on your non-bowling side, with your shin and foot helping to form a 135-degree angle. Position your knee slightly toward your bowling hand. Keep the foot on your bowling side planted flat on the ground.
1-7. Deliver the ball.
Keep the back of your hand facing square leg. Move your index finger downwards over the ball. Right before you release the ball, bend your elbow. Just before release, bend your wrist inward. As you deliver the ball, spin it as you would in an off-break.
2. Bowling the Googly
2-1. Hold the ball as if you want to do a leg break.
Place the ball between the index finger and middle finger of your dominant hand. Make sure the seam of the ball runs perpendicular to your fingers. Place your thumb along the seam. Bend your ring finger and move your middle finger to the top of the ball. Place your ring finger on the opposite side of your index finger so that the ball is resting in these three fingers. Put your pinky alongside your ring finger.
2-2. Position your bowling arm.
Raise your dominant arm straight up over your head. Turn your elbow outward, keeping it straight. If you're using your right hand, twist your forearm towards the left. Turn it to the right if you're left-handed.
2-3. Twist your hand.
Make sure your palm is open and relaxed. Turn it upward, towards the sky or ceiling. Then, turn the back of your hand towards the batter so that it's perpendicular to the ground.
2-4. Step forward.
Do this with the opposite foot of your bowling side. (For example, if you're bowling with your right hand, you'll step forward with your left foot.) Make sure this foot is flat on the ground. Keep the leg on your bowling side behind you with your toe pointed. This foot should be aligned directly behind the other.
2-5. Bend at the waist.
Face the batter as you do this. Tilt towards the opposite of your dominant side. Allow your bowling arm and foot/leg positions to guide you into this position.
2-6. Release the ball.
Position your wrist 180 degrees from the ground. As you do this, make sure the seam of the ball faces fine leg. Use your ring finger to turn the ball counterclockwise and bowl it toward the batter.
Tips
Practice everyday to improve your technique.
Practice with a partner who can warn you if your arm bend exceeds 15 degrees.

Like a curve ball in baseball, this move is designed to catch the batter off guard. At first, it looks like a regular off-break, but, because of clever wrist action, it goes in a right-to-left direction. The doosra is based on the googly, which is a form of leg spin that sends the ball in a left-to-right direction. To the untrained eye, both bowls look identical to each other.

How to Bowl the Leg Spinner's Variations
|
1. Steps
1-1. To bowl a googly, you grip the ball the same as you would for a leg break but hold it so your palm faces away from you.
As you bowl, you bring your elbow close to your head and cock your wrist so that back of your hand faces the batsman. You spin the ball by rotating the fingers. If done properly, the ball should turn from off to leg for right handers. If the batsman comes out of his crease and misses the googly, he can be stumped.
1-2. To bowl a topspinner, grip the ball as you would a leg break.
Bowl it as you would a googly, but don't cock you wrist during the action. This should impart forward spin that will cause the ball to dip later and bounce higher.
1-3. To bowl a slider, grip the ball as you would a leg break, but hold it so that your palm faces yourself.
Bowl normally. This should impart backwards spin and should feel like a horribly failed leg break. If bowled properly, however, the ball will dip earlier and keep lower to the ground.
1-4. To bowl a flipper, you must hold the ball as you would normally, but you must also have your thumb on the side.
Instead of rotating your fingers and wrist to give it spin, you pinch it out between your index finger, middle finger, and thumb, kind of like trying to squeeze it. The flipper will come out faster than a leg break, won't spin, and will keep close to the ground.
Tips
Bowl the slider after fuller deliveries. The batsman will look to play on the back foot because it dips early, however the ball will not bounce much and you can catch him LBW.
Bowl the topspinner after some shorter deliveries. By pitching it up, the batsman will try to play on the front foot but because it bounces high so it can cramp him up giving the slips or the wicket keeper a chance. It can also bounce over his bat and bowl him.
Bowl the flipper on mid and leg. Bowling it short after a few fuller deliveries means the batsman will try to play on the back foot. Because it doesn't spin much or bounce you can catch him LBW. Bowling it on mid and leg makes the batsman think it is a normal leg break and he might try to cut it. This leaves him open to be out LBW.
