Article: . While spectacular, bicycle kicks are low-probability strikes. You’re shooting the ball blind, making it more likely that you’ll miss the shot, foul a defender, or miss the strike completely. When you’re in the box with your back to the goal, look for an open teammate first. If no one is open, consider trapping the ball to your feet first and juking around the defenders, or trying to get a more clean strike on the ball. Putting a little redirectional tap on it with a bicycle kick might be ok, but you’ll get more power out of a strike off the ground.

Look for the pass first

Problem: Article: Until the proper posture is second nature to you, you can practice singing while standing up against a wall. Keep your heels, calves, buttocks, shoulders, and head against the wall to ensure your entire body is aligned. This will help you keep your chest lifted, which can help improve the sound of your singing. Allowing air to more easily travel through your lungs can help you sing with your chest and mouth rather than through your nose. The shoulders should not be shoved back, just slightly back so you are not hunching forward. You can use a mirror to check that your chin isn’t raised or tucked in too far. Even if you’re nervous, it’s very important that you keep your knees loose. Locked knees can block some of the veins necessary to get blood to the heart. You could end up losing consciousness. Keep your neck muscles and shoulders loose. If you’ve had to correct your posture significantly, these new positions will feel uncomfortable for a little while. It may be difficult to relax and loosen up at first. However, keep practicing. A new posture should feel better over time as your body gets used to it. You want to make sure that you are engaging your core, but that you are not stiff. Channel your breath through your abdomen when you're singing. Try placing one hand on your abdomen. As you breathe, make sure that your abdomen is expanding when you breathe in. This means that it is relaxed.
Summary: Practice singing while standing against a wall. Keep your back straight and shoulders down. Make sure your chin is parallel to the floor. Do not lock your knees. Stay relaxed. Engage your abdominal muscles.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a high quality, oil-based paint. You can either spray, brush, or roll it on depending on what look you are trying to achieve. Buy the appropriate painting tools depending on which tool you want to use. Spraying the paint on will give it the smoothest look, rolling the paint on will add a little texture, and brushing the paint on will add a ton of texture. You can find many high quality waxes at a home improvement store that are specifically made for metalwork. Ask for that type of wax when you go to buy it. You will use the wax after the painting is finished for a final seal. If your stainless steel is relatively new and hasn’t already had years of abuse, you may need to do some damage to it yourself. Stainless steel has such a smooth finish that the paint has a hard time sticking to it.  If your stainless steel has been scuffed up over years of used, the paint might stick. Otherwise you will need to use a sander to scuff up the paint. You don’t need to destroy the stainless steel, just add some scuff marks to simulate normal usage.  You can rent a sander from your local home improvement store. If you don’t want to rent a sander you can try doing manual abrasion. Grab a wire sponge and spend some time scraping at the stainless steel with the sponge. This may be able to simulate scuff marks too. You need to rid the stainless steel of any grease, dirt, or other debris. It’s a good idea to use a specialized steel cleaner or a degreaser, both which can be found at a home improvement store. If you use a cleaner, note the drying time listed on the bottle. Wait that amount of time before continuing your project.

SUMMARY: Buy your paint. Get the right wax. Scruff up your stainless steel. Clean and prep your stainless steel.

There's no set path for what teachings to read and when. Pick what speaks to you, or what interests you, and dive in. For example, if you're really interested in meditation, choose pieces on mindfulness and breathing.  Some popular classic texts include The Way of the Bodhisattva by Shantideva, The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh, and On the Path to Enlightenment by Matthieu Ricard. If there's a Buddhist center or community near you, ask one of the teachers for recommendations on what to read first. You can find Buddhist texts and books online or at a bookstore or library. These 3 stages of studying Buddha’s teachings, which are known as dharma, are hearing, contemplating, and meditating. First, read, or “hear,” the text. Then think about what it means and make sure you understand it. Finally, meditate on the teaching to let it fully soak in.  Set aside time each day to spend reading and absorbing the material. Studying the teachings consistently will help you absorb it all better. Pick one phrase or mantra from your teaching that day to use in your meditation. Think of these truths like the core pillars of Buddhism. They outline how to recognize and let go of pain throughout your life. If you don’t understand the Four Noble Truths, you won’t be able to be free of suffering or reach nirvana. The 4th truth contains the Noble Eightfold Path, which is a Buddhist set of principles detailing 8 steps to spiritual awakening. Learning from someone who knows a lot about the religion can help deepen your own knowledge and understanding of Buddhism. Ask the Buddhist temple or center in your area to find out if there are any teachers who would be interested in taking on a new student.  You can even find a teacher who is already a Buddha to act as a mentor and role model. If you know a Buddhist who is very experienced or knowledgeable, consider asking them to become your teacher. Say something like, “I really want to become a Buddha but I need extra help. Would you be willing to tutor me?” Another option is to take a group class at a local community college or meditation center. There are also online courses led by Buddhist gurus you can sign up for.
