Problem: Article: Expect the conditions for beta testing to vary from company to company and project to project. Some may rely totally on telecommuting, while others may require you to report via phone or even in person. The timeline for one project may be much shorter than the next, and may even change mid-project. Some companies may offer monetary payment, while others may compensate you instead with a discount on the finished product. Consider whether these conditions are an acceptable use of your time before applying. Expect companies to be more picky with the people they choose to test hardware. Improve your odds by focusing on products and/or specific brands that you are already familiar with. Increase your value in their eyes by offering some experience with their existing products and/or similar hardware. For example:  If you are a gaming fiend, focus your search on companies that design consoles and attendant gear. If every device that you own is made by Apple, target them. If your focus is on a particular type of hardware, rather than a brand, widen your search. Write down companies whose products you already own or know of. Search online to find others that have slipped your mind or escaped your attention.  For example, if you want to test new mobile phones, develop a list that starts with Apple, Motorola, Samsung, HTC, LG, and Nokia. Be aware that some companies may expect you to test whatever type of hardware they send you, and not just your preferred piece of tech. Research each company that interests you, even if you have little to no experience with their products. Remember that companies are always looking to expand and reach new customers who may have never used such hardware before. Expect them to value your status as “beginner” just as much as long-time users with lots of technological know-how.
Summary: Understand what the job entails. Think about which products you enjoy most. Create a list of manufacturers that develop such hardware. Don’t let being a novice discourage you.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Locate the hollow area below their ankle. Use your thumb or forefinger to gently squeeze this area for a few seconds. You can then use your thumbs to make circular motions around their ankles. Apply even pressure to this area to help it release. If their ankles are particularly stiff or sore, you can try cupping their heel with one hand and grasping the ball of their foot with the other hand. Then, slowly rotating their foot around clockwise three times, followed by three times around counterclockwise. For a deeper massage, hold their foot with one hand at the heel. Make a fist with your other hand and gently press it on the sole of their foot. Move your fist against the sole in circular motions, like you are kneading dough. Then, slide it up and down the sole. This should help to release this area more deeply. Do not punch or hit the soles of the feet with your fist, as this will not be relaxing for them. Instead, use your fist to apply more even pressure to the area. You can release certain areas of the person’s body by massaging certain areas of on their foot. Use your thumb and forefinger to apply even pressure to these areas to help relieve a particular issue the person may be experiencing, similar to a reflexology massage. You may put pressure on:  Their heels and toes if they have a headache or urinary issues. The center of the soles of their feet if they have headaches, insomnia or headaches. The pinky toe side of their right foot or left foot to address back issues.  Use the back of your hand to lightly tap these areas to stimulate them. You can also rub them with your thumbs. Do not apply too much pressure to these areas, as they can be sensitive. Start light and slow. Then, if the person still appears comfortable and relaxed, press a little deeper into these areas.

SUMMARY: Do a deep massage on the ankles. Use your fist on the soles of the feet. Apply pressure on specific areas of the foot.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: " This command is often the most complicated one to teach. However, most dogs can learn it if you are consistent with your training. Teaching your canine companion to heel will save your back, your shoulders, your dog's neck, and dignity for both of you (although, dignity may be low on the priority list for your dog). Your dog will probably naturally want to jog at a canter and sniff and veer off in many directions. You need to show him or her that there is a time for exploring and a time not to. Using the regular walking lead, put your dog in a "sit" position beside your left leg, facing the same direction as you. This is known as the "place" position.  Always use the left side to avoid confusing the dog. " Say "[dog's name], heel!" while stepping forward with your left foot. Starting with the left foot will become a signal that it is time to move forward. Your dog may either resist or hurry past you. In either case give a gentle pull and repeat the command "heel." If he or she strays too far off to the side, pat your leg and say "Keep with me!" or "Over here!" or another short phrase. Always say the same phrase to mean that particular thing. If the dog moves out ahead, say "No, [dog's name], heel" in a calm voice. If necessary, tug on the lead. When you stop, always stop on the left foot and say "[dog's name], sit." If your dog moves ahead again, gently pull or physically place him or her beside your left leg using the "sit" command.  If things get a little to out of control, stop and place the dog in a sit position at your side once again, praise him or her, and start over. You should always adjust the dog to your position, not adjust your position to his. (if you adjust your position to his, he will eventually have his human well trained to obey him) You should get your dog used to not feeling any tension on the lead unless you are making a correction, or the dog will get into the habit of pulling constantly. Make your corrections  by voice and gesture and only use the lead if it isn't listening. You may gently praise your dog while he or she is heeling well, but keep it toned down so as not to distract it. Once it is obeying the spoken commands consistently, remain silent and only use the spoken commands for correction. The length of time to learn is individual so don't be in a hurry to move things along. When you are ready to stop, you should stop on your left foot and say "[dog's name],sit." After a few repetitions you should no longer need to use the sit command. Your dog will come to know that stopping on the left foot is the signal for him or her to stop and sit. When your dog is consistently obeying the "heel" command properly, start unexpectedly starting of with the left foot and stopping without verbal commands or hand signals. Also, when your dog is in the "place" position, occasionally step off with the right. Your dog will want to start with you, so you use the "stay" command and walk around him back to the "place" position. Alternate stepping off with the left and using the heel command and then stepping off with the right and using the stay command. After a while you can advance to randomly stepping of with either foot and reinforcing the appropriate "heel" or "stay" behavior. When you and your dog has learned this well, you will be able to function smoothly as a team no matter where you are.
Summary:
Teach your dog to "heel. Put your dog in sitting position. Tell your dog to "heel. Instruct the dog to stay by your side. Correct wrong behavior. Give praise when the dog heels. Teach the dog to sit when you stop. Practice the command solely through body language.
