Begin along the boards, holding the boards with your hands. Take it slow, at first. You don't want to pick up too much speed until you have gotten a feel for how to hockey stop. You should be looking forward, not down at your feet. Spread your feet slightly apart, and keep your skates running parallel in the direction you're headed. You may find that you are able to stop your side-to-side motion with just your inside foot. Rotate your left hip to turn the left skate, and rotate your right hip to turn the right skate. At the same time, try to angle the skate blades slightly back to shave the ice. Be careful! If you dig in too much, you will "catch an edge" and fall forward. As you rotate your hips, be sure to bend your knees. Keep your weight low, and work on balance. Staying low will help you stop with less effort. It might also make the falls more bearable. The deeper the bend, the quicker the stop. If your knees aren't bent, you will almost always fall! First, identify the "hollow" or "flat edge" on each of your skates. All skates have an inside edge, an outside edge, and a "flat edge," which is really the concave space between the two. The "flat edge" allows the skate to slide sideways across the ice without digging in. As you enter the stop, rotate your hips, bend your knees, and turn your skates to allow them to slide on their "flat edges." Hold this position until you stop. To clarify: reduce your weight off the outside skate, and turn both skates parallel to the direction you are travelling. Apply pressure to the inside edge of the outside skate and simultaneously to the outside edge of the inside skate. Keep working on your hockey stop. Gradually work up to skating faster and faster, and to stopping at high speeds. If you're playing competitive hockey, you'll often need to stop on a dime to change directions or avoid colliding with something. Once you feel comfortable turning one direction to stop: practice turning the opposite direction, using the same technique.

One-sentence summary -- Skate a few strides forward. Practice pushing from side to side and stopping. Rotate your hips in the direction you want to turn. Bend your knees deeply. Drag your skates across the ice to stop. Practice to build speed and finesse.

Q: There are lots of good reasons to change up your furniture arrangement: it helps protect your floors, it allows you to capitalize on seasonal lighting, but most of all, change is good! Changing the furniture in your room will allow you to see your room as a brand new space. If you have a small room and are looking to gain some additional storage space, try propping your bed up on risers. Risers can be purchased online or in most home goods stores. The enemy of organization is clutter. To pare down on clutter, you’re going to need to go through all of your belongings, starting with your clothing. Take stock of what you currently own and give away anything that you don’t wear or need.  Don’t keep something that doesn’t fit just because you think you might fit into it later. Get rid of it, and if you end up gaining or losing weight, buy something new to celebrate when that happens.  To more easily track what you use or don’t use, every time you wear something in your closet, turn the hanger around so it’s facing the other way. At the end of the year, give away anything that you haven’t worn. Add additional lighting to your closet so you can see your outfit options more clearly.  Don’t throw the clothes away. Most thrift stores allow you to donate used clothing and there are some that will buy gently used goods from you. If you don’t feel like doing that, try organizing a clothing swap with some of your close friends. You’ll get rid of things you don’t wear anymore and will be able to add a few new (free!) additions to your wardrobe. Take the door off your closet so you’ll be more likely to hang up your clothes, rather than throwing them directly on the floor. You’ll never feel truly comfortable in your own space if you don’t know where any of your stuff is. Buy containers and label them, so you’ll be able to keep track of your belongings more easily.  To organize your jewelry, try hanging or displaying it. This will keep it from tangling and will also serve as a fun decoration for your room. Try an unorthodox solution for storing your sunglasses, like hanging them from a coat hanger.
A: Rearrange your furniture. Clean out your closet. Create storage solutions.

Article: A dog that has plenty of exercise is less likely to become overexcited during play, and they are less likely to nip out of boredom. Make sure to take your dog on walks once or twice a day. Give them plenty of time outside, and consider taking them to a dog park where they can play with other dogs. If the dog starts to mouth your hand, give them something acceptable to chew, such as a chew toy, KONG toy, or rawhide bone. Do this every time you think they are about to take someone’s hand or body part into their mouth. If you are nervous about the dog nipping children as they pet the dog, you can give the dog a toy before letting the children come near the dog.  Pay close attention no matter what because some dogs and puppies can get aggressive about their toys and they may act out or nip the child. Dogs naturally want to nip and mouth people when playing contact games like wrestling or chasing. To prevent the dog from nipping you while playing, try games where you and the dog are not touching. These games include fetch, find the toy, or tug-of-war. Proper socialization with other dogs can help teach your dog what is and is not appropriate behavior. Letting your dog play with other, non-aggressive dogs will not only teach them proper play but it will let them get out their natural nipping tendencies without injuring you.  Try to find a dog that has a similar temperament to your dog and who is roughly the same size. Once they have learned how to safely play with individual dogs, you may want to take them a dog park to see how they fare with a group of unknown dogs. When playing with the dog, try not to wave your hands or feet around their face. Doing this might signal to the dog that your limbs are toys. Instead, keep your hands behind their heads while playing.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Exercise the dog. Give the dog a chew toy when they start to nip. Encourage non-contact play. Arrange play dates for your dog. Avoid waving your hands around their face.

Article: Run your hands over your feet and make sure your skin is smooth. Check the areas you noticed needed work before you started using the foot scraper. If you still feel some rough patches, go back and reuse the foot scraper and pumice. You should definitely notice a difference. Do not overdo it. You can scrape too much, causing redness and irritation or cuts. After scraping the calluses, you will want to use a foot moisturizer to keep your feet hydrated. Pay special attention to those areas you treated with the foot scraper. You can use a scented lotion, cream or oil—but make sure it locks moisture into the skin well. Massaging is very good for your feet as well as the newly exposed skin. It increases blood circulation, relaxes muscles and relieve pain. Do one foot at a time and keep massaging for at least one minute each.  Grasp the foot in both hands. Use both hands to squeeze the foot near the toes. Gradually move up toward the ankle. Use both hands to twist the foot lightly in opposite directions. Start at the toes and work up toward the ankle. Rub your fingers of both hands along the foot in circular motions. Feel for crevices between bones and joints. Press in and rub those areas. You can also use your knuckles along the bottom of the foot. Kneading the skin with your knuckles offers greater pressure and feels great.
