Q: This will make the shuttle spin and fall in an unpredictable direction. To slice your net shot, start the forward motion as you normally would, and then move the racket inward as you slice the racket perpendicular to the center of the birdie. Your opponent will be expecting you to hit the birdie directly forward, while it will actually spin cross court. To do this, slice the racket, or move it perpendicularly over the center of the shuttle when it's in the air. This will make the shuttle lose much of its momentum and quickly fall on the opponent's side near the net. Smashing is when you hit the shuttle with all of your strength at the top of its arc. Point your free hand at the shuttle to keep track of its path, and then swing the racket over your head, hitting the center of the birdie and smashing it down into the opponent's court. This is similar to serving in tennis. When you're smashing the shuttle, aim is just as important as strength. Don't just blindly hit the shuttle as hard as you can -- you should try to aim it either as far away from your opponent as possible or right at your opponent's body so he will be caught off guard. Once you've mastered the standard smash, you can practice jumping up as you smash the shuttle. This will give you even more momentum and will make the shuttle fall into your opponent's court even faster. Just jump up a foot or two, aiming your chest and body in the direction that you want the shuttle to go, and smash it at the center of its arc. The smash should be used at a time when the shuttle is high in the air and you have plenty of time to approach -- it should end the point in your favor. If you smash the shuttle at every opportunity, you will tire your arms and will risk smashing it into the net at inopportune moments. A beginning player is just happy when he hits the shuttle over the net. An advanced player understands that a good game of badminton is like a game of chess -- you should always position your shot wisely so that you move your opponent to the exact place where you want him to be so you can hit the following shot. Always plan your next move and always think one step ahead of your opponent.
A: Slice your net shots. Slice your drop shots. Smash the shuttle. Jump before you smash the shuttle. Don't smash the shuttle every time. Always plan your next move.

Article: to quell anxiety. If fear has you temporarily paralyzed, activate your body's natural stress response with deep breathing. Draw in air from your nose for about 4 counts.

Will you stay with me?" Use a positive affirmation to empower yourself when fear happens. You might repeat statements like, "You're perfectly safe at home" or "This, too, shall pass" to remind yourself you can get through anything. If you're afraid of something like asking someone out on a date or speaking in front of a crowd, embolden yourself by saying, "Feel the fear and do it anyway." Fear can cloud your perspective and make you feel like there's nothing but negativity in your life. Override that by purposely seeking out the good. When you feel fearful, try to identify whatever's going right. For instance, if you feel afraid of public speaking, you might list "good" things like, "I'm dressed well. I prepared all last night for this. My friends are in the audience, so I can look to them for courage." Go outdoors and get some fresh air to help you calm down when you are afraid. Take your dog for a walk, plan a hike with friends, or take a book to a nearby lake.

Q: Magazines usually have a theme or topic for all of their content. A good theme is general enough for you to write plenty on but specific enough that it caters to a specific audience. Some themes have more magazines than others, and you may want to break out into your own niche. As you come up with your theme, ask yourself: Is this an art or literary journal? A lifestyle journal? Is it about a certain hobby or fashion? Will I be reporting news or trends? Do other magazines cover this topic? How could I uniquely present this topic? What makes my idea different? What kinds of articles could I write for this magazine? You should determine what kind of person will be reading your magazine. By focusing on your audience, you will refine your magazine towards a specific niche. Try to determine the following: Who would be interested in this topic? Am I marketing to a specific gender, age, religion, cultural background, or sexual orientation? Would people in certain industries or careers be more attracted to this type of magazine? What kinds of concerns does this audience have? How would this audience relate to my magazine? How often would I publish this magazine? Monthly? Weekly? Every two weeks? Once you know what your theme is, it is good to do some research on it. You may already know the basics, but you should know what people expect of a magazine like yours. Research can help you generate ideas, and it will help you understand what to avoid in your niche. What are the most recent trends, fads, gadgets, apps, and fashions that relate to my topic? What kinds of articles do people need or want? What kind of tone do I need to set for this topic? Is it a highly technical subject? Can I use humor? Does it require high academic language or casual writing? The best kind of research you can do is to look at magazines that are similar to what you to do. While you should not steal their content, you can look for inspiration. These magazine can show you what does and does not work in a print medium. You can also find out if your idea has been done before or if the market is already saturated with that type of magazine. You can also contact the editors of these magazines to find out what printers they use, what their costs are, and how they sell advertisements. Write out a sentence or two that outlines what you want the purpose of your magazine to be. This statement should include who the targeted audience is and why they should read your magazine. For example, if you wanted to make a lifestyle magazine for young women interested in knitting, your mission statement could be: "This magazine seeks to explore the world of knitting for women 20-30 years old by fostering networks of creativity and offering the latest product reviews, fun and unique patterns, and monthly knitting contests." The title should relate to your theme. It should be fun, catchy, and memorable. Good titles tend to be one to three words. It should clearly express what your magazine is about.
A:
Choose a topic. Identify your target audience. Research your topic. Study similar magazines. Define your mission statement. Think of a title.
