Problem: Article: . Thorough comprehension of the rules of backgammon will make it easier for you to win. If you are new to backgammon, you may benefit from making sure that you know the rules inside and out. If you have any confusion about the rules of backgammon, get answers to your questions from more experienced players. Remember that blocking is a good way to prevent your opponent from advancing to the bearing off stage too soon in the game. Go on the defensive right away by getting two or more of your checkers onto some strategic points around the board. Remember, you only need two checkers on a point to make it unavailable to your opponent. Having two or more checkers on points will also prevent your opponent from hitting your blots, which will set you back in the game. Do your best to protect any weak points that your opponent might try to hit. If your opponent has any blots (points with only one checker), go on the offensive and hit (take) those blots. By hitting one of your opponent’s blots, you will force him/her to move the checker to the bar and roll for reentry during the next turn. This will consume time and make it harder for your opponent to advance in the game. Bearing off is when you have all of your pieces in your home board and you can begin moving them into your tray. The sooner you can get all of your pieces off of the board and into the tray, the sooner you can win the game. Get your pieces into your home board as quickly as possible to increase your chances of winning the game.
Summary: Understand the rules Block your opponent. Hit your opponent’s blots. Bear off as soon as possible.

Problem: Article: There are tons of sites that host font files that you can download for free (for home use). MacOS supports both OTF and TTF font formats, which are two of the most common font types. Some of the more popular font sites include the following:  dafont.com fontspace.com fontsquirrel.com 1001freefonts.com Since most font files download in a ZIP folder, you'll need to unzip the folder by double-clicking it and waiting for the extracted folder to open.

This will install your font for all text-based programs on your Mac, thus making it usable with Microsoft Word.

Problem: Article: Avoid backless booster seats, which only raise the child’s backside up. Instead, choose backed models that redirect the shoulder strap of the belt over the child in the correct position.  Backed booster seats also provide some extra protection to the back and sides of the head and neck. Switch to a booster seat only when the child exceeds the height or weight maximum of a forward-facing car seat with a 5-point harness. Feed the shoulder strap of the seat belt through the circular clip on the back of the seat, as per the seat’s instructions. Adjust the back of the booster seat up or down until the clip directs the shoulder belt between the child’s shoulder and neck.  Confirm that they shoulder belt passes over the collarbone, across the breastbone, and meets the lap belt at the opposite hip bone. Make sure the child is seated upright with their back and butt touching the back of the seat. With most booster seats, you’ll feed the lower strap of the seat belt beneath the armrests—refer to your instruction manual. Make sure that, when the child is seated upright and with their backside against the seat back, the lap belt crosses directly over their hip bones. If the belt passes above their hip bones, the child isn’t big enough for a booster seat yet. Buckle the seat belt as usual, then check the belt straps one more time. If the straps are twisted anywhere, undo the belt and fix the problem. Pull on the shoulder strap so that the lap belt is snug across their hips—you shouldn’t be able to pinch the strap between your fingers.  As with 5-point harness car seats, you should remove a bulky coat before buckling a child into a booster seat. (This is good advice for adults too!) Seat belts are designed for passengers who are at least 57 in (140 cm) tall, so keep your child in a booster seat at least until they reach this height.
Summary: Use a booster seat that lets you fine-tune the positioning of the seat belt. Make sure the shoulder belt passes above the shoulder but below the neck. Check that the lap belt crosses over the hips, not the belly. Confirm that the seat belt is snug, secured, and not twisted.
