Problem: Article: You should add several drops of each type of oil to a spray bottle filled with water and a few squirts of dish soap. Shake the bottle to stir the elements together. Then spray the areas of your house that seem to attract wasps, including under eaves and on porch roofs.  Don’t spray the whole area, as this would require more than one spray bottle of solution and can be very expensive. Focus on spraying where there have been other nests on your home. You can also buy wasp repellent in home improvement stores if you’d prefer not to mix your own. There are some plants that keep wasps away because they don't like the smell. Planting a few of them near where you spend a lot of time - the front porch or your backyard - can help keep wasps away. Mint, thyme, eucalyptus, and citronella will all repel wasps, and they'll also make your yards smell great! Since wasps are territorial, they won’t build a nest within 20 feet or so of another nest. Hang one decoy on each side of your house to keep wasps away from the whole house.
Summary: Mix clove, geranium, and lemongrass essential oils. Grow wasp-repellent plants. Use wasp decoys.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Getting to the shuttle quickly is even more important for a jumping smash. If you move too slowly, the shuttle will be too low for you to get the most out of this swing. Hold the racket in a forehand grip on the approach.  An overhead smash is very similar in the beginning to a regular smash: your body and feet should face side-court and your stance should be firm. The jumping smash will return the shuttle with greater power and at a steeper angle, making it even more difficult to return.  Keep your body loose but ready. It’s common to tense your muscles when preparing to jump, but this can restrict your range of motion. While keeping your eyes on the shuttle, stretch back your racket arm as far as you can. Your non-racket arm will be about level with your ribs and bent at the elbow. Bend a little at the knees and lean forward slightly. All set? Now you’re ready to jump. Take a deep breath and drive downwards with your racket foot to jump into the air. Stretch out your non-racket arm so it’s above your head and off to your side to maintain balance while in the air.  Timing is the key for a wicked jumping smash. In the best case scenario, you’ll be airborne and starting to swing at the highest point of your jump. When going into the jump, your legs should be mostly straight. As you reach the intercept point, bend your legs backwards. Swing your racket forward to hit the shuttle and, as you do so, lower your non-racket arm to your side and straighten it at the elbow. Simultaneously, squeeze your abs as hard as you can and bring your racket foot forward a little.  Envision a clear mental picture of the angle you want to send the shuttle on back over the net. This will help improve accuracy. If you have not started far enough behind the shuttle, or if you’re too far behind it, you won’t be able to fully extend your arm as you swing. This will decrease the power of your smash. Continue the motion of your swing after hitting the shuttle until your arm is facing forward and mostly straight. As you approach the ground, bring your racket foot farther forward so you’re ready to land. Stabilize after landing and be ready to return the shuttle. Jump smashes are most suitable on poor returns, where the shuttle is launched high toward the center of the court.

SUMMARY: Get under and behind the shuttlecock quickly. Prepare to jump. Jump to intercept the shuttle at the highest point you can reach. Smash the shuttle over the net. Follow through and stick the landing.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Good punches are efficient punches, transferring power to your opponent with grace and ease. While you should work on training your speed and endurance, better technique will always lead to a better boxer. While doing the following drills, focus on:  Leading with your elbow. Think of throwing your elbow at your opponent, not your wrist. Staying compact. You don't want to flail or move your body unnecessarily. Keep your non-punching hand close and your legs sturdily underneath you. Letting your arms rest and move during breaks. When you're not punching, leave your arms loose, or "breathing," so that they rock comfortably with your body. Don't try and clench and hold them rigidly-- it will only tire you out faster. . Speed bags hang from the ceiling and require you to develop a strong, consistent rhythm to your punches. You hit with a regular, circular motion, keeping your hands and the bag moving. This is one of the best ways to build your endurance, connection, and coordination with your hands. Run the speed bag for 3-5 3-minute sessions, resting 30 seconds between each interval. The heavy bag ( the enormous hanging bag for punch training) is going to become your best friend. You want to hit it for 3-5 minutes, punching like you would in a fight. However, make sure you're not just standing there trying to hit. Stay on the balls of your feet, keep moving like in a real fight, and stop occasionally to duck, dodge, and block, like you would in a real fight. In general, the more like the real thing you can make it, the better the workout will be. For a more tiring workout, give the bag a swing before beginning. This forces you to focus in on a moving target. Using a heavy bag, take 30 seconds to throw as many punches as you possibly can. Focus on speed, not power, as you throw the punches. After 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds and then repeat 4-5 more times. You can choose to lift or simply use you body weight to build muscle. No matter what your style, mix in 2-3 days of strength training every week, cutting down to 1 on fight weeks. Luckily, boxing is so muscle intensive that you will be making gains each time you spar, fight, or shadowbox as well, so strength training should not be the focus of your workouts. Aim for big, multi-muscle exercises to build the most muscle the fastest. Some good exercises to try include:   Body weight: If you can't go to the gym, are under 16 years old, or just would rather not lift weights, there are plenty of great exercises to try:   Push-ups, close-handed and wide stance. Dips Do front and side planks. Try body-weight rows, or inverted rows. Pull-ups and chin-ups.    Weight lifting: Focus on smooth, fluid technique. You want to move both up and down with control for the safest, best results.  Rows, seated and standing Bench press Shoulder raises and flies  Bicep curls. A great tool for beginners, slow sparring takes all of your work into the ring for a safe, technique focused exercise. It is just like normal sparring with a partner, but you want to throw punches at 75% of your normal speed. This is the best way to work up your opposite hand, focus on techniques or moves that you don't have down yet, and build up confidence in the ring. Since you have to react to a live fighter, even at a slow pace, this is a great way build essential skills. Focus on coordination -- follow through on your punches, keep your feet moving, and focus on hand positioning in all circumstances. All of your body parts should be moving in concert with one another.
Summary:
Focus on your punching technique to improve power and endurance. Focus on smooth, clean speed bag drills Hit the heavy bag for 3-minute intervals 3-5 times each training session. Try out 30-second punching "sprints" to build arm endurance. Begin a strength training regime. Try slow sparring.
