INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The base for your lamp should be sturdy enough to stand on its own, even after you add lamp apparatus and a shade on top.  If you have a hollow base that you need to stabilize, consider partially filling it with something like marbles or sand. Some ideas for lamp bases that you could use:  Wine bottles Log or timber Wooden pails or buckets Toys or figurines Hollowed-out books These can be found at most hardware stores.  Note that it's possible to purchase the pieces separately, but buying them together will ensure a better fit.  If you do buy the cord separately, choose a #18 size cord.  If you don't want to buy a lamp kit, and instead want to purchase the items separately, you'll need: Detachable harp Cord set Push-through socket and socket shell Finial Assorted hardware, like nuts, bolts and washers The rod is a hollow tube that will run the cord up through the bottom of your base to the lightbulb at the top.  Depending on your base, you may have to drill or cut holes wide enough for the rod at the top and bottom of the lamp. If necessary, you can trim the rod with a hacksaw or pipe cutters, but it's best (and easier) to choose a base that's fitted to your rod. Sawing your rod down to size is not ideal. Your lamp kit might come with a piece meant to stabilize the bottom of your base.  If it doesn't, simply purchase rubber stoppers.  Affix these at intervals around the base to prevent sliding and lift the base slightly off the table, allowing room for the cord.

SUMMARY: Find a base. Buy a lamp kit. Prepare the base for the rod. Stabilize the bottom of the base.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Each person needs to do this independently so they have a place to start when the game begins. Sometimes it’s hard to come up with good questions or dares while you’re in the middle of the game. Some possible truth questions might be:  What is the most embarrassing thing to happen to you at school? Who do you have a crush on? If you only had 24 hours to live, what would you do? What is the most disgusting thing you have ever done? If you had to pick one parent to live and one to die, which would you pick? They need to be weird enough to make people pause before doing them, but not dangerous or harmful. Some good dare examples might be:  Greet everyone you meet for the day with “I’ve got my eye on you. Aliens are watching.” Use indelible marker to put “makeup” on your face. Put your hands in another player’s pocket for 15 minutes and keep them there no matter what. Howl at the moon for 10 minutes in the front yard. If, when the game begins you don’t want to ask yours, you can ask for help from other players. You are able to cooperate with other people to think of a truth or dare, but you must ask the person being asked for their permission to consolidate. Remember you are the one to dare the person, not the other people.

SUMMARY: Make a list of questions. Think of some fun dares. Work with the other players to come up with questions if you’re having trouble.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In Sepak Takraw, you can't touch the ball with your hands or arms. That means you have to use your feet, legs, and knees to control the ball. Although it takes a bit of agility and athleticism, there are some basic moves you can learn. The inside kick is probably the most important skill to learn because it's the one you'll use the most. This is used to control the ball. You can also use this kick for good spikes.  For this kick, stand with feet shoulder width apart with your support leg bent at the knee. Hit the ball with the inside of your dominant foot. Practice working with both feet to get more agility and flexibility in your kicks.  When the ball comes towards you, lift the inside of your foot to connect with the ball. To practice this kick, dribble the ball by kicking it up with the inside of your foot. Use a different foot each time the ball comes down.  A variation of this kick uses the outside of the foot. When the ball comes at you and you can't get into position to use the inside of your foot, use the outside of it instead. The toe kick is used to save the ball, not control it. Extend your leg. Let the ball bounce on your toe or raise your leg if the ball is higher. This should be executed slowly and without power. This is used when receiving the ball. When the ball comes to you from a low angle, bounce the ball off the top of your foot. The header is another pivotal skill for the game. This "kick" uses the head, preferably your forehead at your hair. This is used when the ball comes at you above the waist. You will probably have to bend down to get underneath the ball. Practice getting used to the feeling of the ball against your head because it can hurt. This is used in both serving and striking. This kick is used when receiving the ball. The knee/thigh kick deflects the ball when it's coming towards you between your waist and knees. By hitting the ball with your thigh or knee, you reposition the ball so you can use an inside kick. It is also used when the ball gets too close to your body. A knee and thigh kick is like a march step with a high knee. Using your thigh instead of your knee gives you better control. This is usually used with players who receive a serve. This kick should be be practiced with the inside kick. Striking or spiking the ball sends it over the net. There are different ways to achieve this.  Strike with the bottom of your foot. After bouncing the ball into the air, kick your leg up into the air to about head height. Then strike the ball with the bottom of your foot.  Use the inner foot to strike the ball. After bouncing the ball high enough in the air, round your leg about shoulder height and hit the ball with the inside of your foot.  Use the top of your foot to perform a back kick if you are in a position where you can't face the net. Kick your leg about shoulder height, making sure the top of your foot connects with the ball. For more power, do a combined kick. Start by kicking up the knee on your non-striking foot, then when that foot hits the ground, use that power to kick off the ground for a harder, faster strike. Use your head to strike by hitting the ball with your head. Make sure to lean forward to send the ball over the net instead of into the air. You can use any body part except the arms and hands when playing sepak takraw. You can use the chest and shoulders to bounce the ball off when trying to get it into proper play position. Try not to receive serves or strikes with the chest and shoulders.

SUMMARY:
Know the basic skills. Learn the inside kick. Learn the toe kick. Use the header. Use the knee/thigh kick. Learn to strike. Use the chest and shoulders.
