In order to dual boot Windows and Linux, you will need a Windows installation disk and a Linux distribution installation disk. You will also need to have at least 20 GB available for each operating system. You can use any Linux distribution you'd like. Some of the most popular ones include Ubuntu and Mint. This method will start with a fresh installation for both Windows and Linux, as this is the most foolproof way to successfully install both operating systems. Make sure all of your important documents, pictures, and other files are backed up on a separate drive or in the cloud. See this guide for more details on backing up your data. Windows takes over the boot sequence, so you'll always want to install it first so that your boot sequence isn't messed up later. When installing Windows, you can make the entire hard drive a single partition. The Linux installation will let you split it up later. See these guides for instructions on installing Windows:  Install Windows 10 Install Windows 8 Install Windows 7 Install Windows Vista After Windows has finished installing, you can start the Linux part of the installation. Insert your Linux installation disc and reboot your computer. Boot to the disc and start the installation program. See these guides for detailed instructions for installing various Linux distributions:  Install Ubuntu Linux Install Linux Mint During the Linux installation, you will be asked if you want to install Linux alongside your Windows installation or replace your Windows installation. Make sure to install it alongside your existing Windows installation to allow dual booting.  Once you choose to install alongside, you will be allowed to set the size of your partition. Make sure that you allow at least 10 GB for the operating system files, as well as extra space for programs. Use the slider to adjust the Linux partition size. Click the "advanced partitioning tool" link if you want to create a third partition that can act as storage for both operating systems. You can allocate most of your space to this partition to ensure that you have plenty of space to store your files. After you finish installing Linux, your dual boot setup is complete. Whenever you reboot your computer, you will be given the option to choose which operating system you would like to boot. You will need to reboot in order to change operating systems.

summary: Gather your tools. Back up any important data. Install Windows first. Start the Linux installation. Set the partitions. Choose your operating system.

Vans are typically longer than standard cars and require more room to park. When pulling into traditional parking lots, look for areas on the side of the lot where you can parallel park, open areas with multiple spots you can occupy, or areas sectioned off for large vehicles. If none of these areas are available, use your best judgement and either park carefully, wait for an opening, or find another lot. Whenever possible, you should back into parking spots instead of pulling into them. To do this, pull in front of the parking spot, brake, and put your car in reverse. Scan your mirrors to make sure the area is clear, then turn your wheel toward the spot and gently release your brake pedal. Slowly back your van into the parking spot, readjusting your vehicle as necessary. Place a spotter or traffic cone behind the vehicle to make backing up easier. when normal spots aren’t available. Find a space large enough for your van and park next to the car in front of it. Then, put your van in reverse and release the brakes. When your side window is lined up with the car’s back bumper, turn your steering wheel toward the parking space and back into it. Once your car is at a 45-degree angle, turn your steering wheel away from the parking space and back up until you’re completely in the parking spot. Vans are far larger and heavier than most vehicles, meaning they’re more prone to rolling while parked. To avoid this, make sure to apply your parking brake whenever you’re not inside the vehicle. Most parking brakes are controlled via a pedal below the steering wheel or a lever near the shift controls. If you have trouble finding the parking brake, consult the van’s user manual.  To avoid damaging the vehicle, only apply the brake when the van is in park. Remember to release the parking brake before driving.

summary: Park in large, open spots and designated areas. Back into parking spots to make getting out easier. Parallel park Apply your parking brake.

Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart.  Bend your knees and drop your butt to straighten out your back.  In this stance, you’ll be able to generate the maximum amount of power. Hold the bat somewhat loosely.  The bat should be touching your hand where your fingers meet your palm.  If you hold your bat too high in your fingers, you won’t have as much control over it.  If you bury the bat in your palm, your wrists won’t be able to push the bat smoothly.  If you tend to hold to the bat too tightly, try gripping the bat with only your middle, ring and pinky fingers.  Your thumb and forefinger will naturally tighten when you make contact with the ball. Your dominant hand should be directly above your weak hand and the knuckles of both hands should be lined up. Your front elbow should be down so that the top of your bat is at a forty-five degree angle behind your head.  If your front elbow is up, your bat will have to travel further to reach the strike zone slowing down your swing significantly.  Make sure your bat isn’t straight up and down or you won’t be able to take a full swing. Your back elbow should be slightly higher than your front elbow. Try to get rid of all your tension.  You may think that tensing up your body helps you concentrate, but in reality all it does is waste your energy and prevent you from having a smooth swing. Save your energy for your swing. The speed of your swing is dependent on how much torque you can generate.  Your swing starts in your legs, moves up to your hips and finishes by travelling through your arms to the bat.  To perform a smooth, quick swing, your entire body should work together. Torque is the power generated from your body’s twisting motion. Imagine that you are swinging through the ball.  Flip your wrists at the climax of your swing to complete it.  You want to drive the ball outward.  If you stop your swing midway, it won’t be as powerful. Don’t let your head follow your swing.  Keep your eyes on the ball.
summary: Adopt an athletic stance. Grip the bat properly. Drop your elbow. Relax your shoulders. Engage your whole body. Follow through with your swing.
