Problem: Article: Start by making a slipknot and then make a chain of six or more stitches for your foundation. Six stitches might work well if you are using a bulky or super bulky yarn. If you are using a medium worsted weight yarn, then 10 stitches might be a good width. Experiment to find the ideal width for your headband. Skip over the first stitch next to your hook and single crochet into the second stitch. Single crochet to the end of the chain. This will complete your first row. You can work your rows in a stitch other than single crochet if desired. Single crochet is a good practice stitch if this is your first headband. Some other stitches you can try include:  Popcorn stitch Shell stitch Box stitch When you reach the end of your first row, you will need to turn your work over to work the second row. Chain one stitch. This will be your turning chain. A turning chain provides some slack to prevent the stitches from bunching up or puckering. You will need to keep crocheting your rows in the stitch of your choice until the headband is long enough to fit snugly around your head. Check now and then when the headband starts to get close to this length. Cut the free end of the yarn and tie it to secure it when you are finished. You can leave the tail a few inches long and then weave in the end, or trim off the excess. When your headband is the length that you want it to be, you can attach the ends or fasten them. You can either use a darning needle and some extra yarn to sew the ends together or you can hold them together with a safety pin or broach. Another option is to leave a longer tail and use this to attach the ends. Thread the yarn through a darning needle or large eye tapestry needle and sew the ends together. Then, tie the end to the seam to secure it and trim off the excess.
Summary: Chain your foundation stitches. Skip a stitch and single crochet. Turn and chain one. Keep crocheting. Attach the ends or use something to fasten them.

Problem: Article: Create a V with your thumb and forefinger. Place your hand on the racquet so that this V is at 11 o’clock, or one o’clock for left-handed players. To simplify it, think about holding your racquet as you would a hammer. This is called the continental grip , which is the grip you want to utilize for a flat serve. Practice maintaining this grip while keeping your hand loose and relaxed.  In the continental grip, the racquet is at a neutral angle to the ground. In other words, it is perpendicular to the ground when you hold your arm in front of you.  The continental grip is valuable for its versatility. You can use it for other types of serves and volleys as well. In a match, you will be standing at the baseline, the line farthest from the net. Right handed players should keep their right foot back, parallel to the baseline. The left foot should be forward, near the baseline and pointing to the right net post. Left handers will be standing in this stance, simply reversed. Once you have your feet in the correct stance, bounce a few times. Get loose and comfortable in this position. The stance for the flat serve is just like the stance for all other serves— you can’t make it obvious what serve you are preparing for, or your opponent would know exactly what was coming their way! By picturing a strong, successful serve, you can help to decrease anxiety. By decreasing your anxiety, you also decrease the likelihood of making little, nervous mistakes. Take deep, calming breaths. Don’t just visualize the image of the serve— imagine the force of the serve and the sound of the ball hitting the racquet. Walk yourself through your serve in your head multiple times. This visualization is a helpful tool in building your confidence and preparing yourself for a great serve.
Summary: Grip your racquet. Stand sideways with feet hip width apart. Visualize your flat serve.

Problem: Article: Jakob Nielsen, a webpage design expert, researched the efficacy of website design in getting donors to submit donations to different charities online.  His research determined that bad website design leads to fewer donations.  Donors not only expect a user-friendly experience, but they also want information about the organization's mission and how the funds will be used. Before donors commit to submitting a donation, they want to see information about your goals and work.  Write a mission statement and display it prominently on the homepage of your website.  Include details about the work you have done and your future goals.  Donors want to give to organizations that share their ideals and values.  But they also want to know how you plan to achieve your goals. List any pertinent details about how the funds you receive are to be used to accomplish your goals.  Donors want reassurance that their money is going to the cause they want to support.  They are more likely to donate if they know your organization is trustworthy. Make sure all of your content is clearly written and doesn’t include confusing terms or have missing information.  Donors want to be able to have all of their questions answered before donating.  If you are part of a larger parent site, make your site look and operate similarly to the parent site.  It’s confusing if your site is completely different.  Also, make it easy for donors to find the donate button.
Summary:
Understand the importance of good website design. Include information about your mission. Provide details about how you use donations. Make your site user-friendly.
