How to score a direct free kick
Watch the keeper.
The opposing keeper will give you a good idea about where to aim your kick. When a direct free kick is called, some of the opposing players will form a wall ten yards away from you in front of the keeper.

OPTIONS:
- The other players on the other side of the wall will then turn and target you. Standing feet are the standard practice for kick a direct free kick.
- Watch their body language for possible opportunities of good kicking. The opposing player could normally kick with his arm extended, as though the ball were coming toward him to swat at with a good kick to the leg.
- While the purpose of the wall is to help the keeper defend against the kick, it can also obscure his view of the striker. Usually, the keeper will try to stay in the middle of the goal.
- Once you have stepped, you'll tap the striker with your shin so he or she drops the ball behind you. If you're a kicker, you need to make sure you have plenty of space between your target and the judge (s), so you can see where the ball lands.

How to finish homework without getting overwhelmed
Pick a table in an area free of distraction.
Don't sit on the couch or an area where you could easily turn on the tv or take a nap. You may feel relaxed then, but when you are up late doing your homework, you will regret that hour of tv.

OPTIONS:
- If you feel too jittery or anxious, your homework will suffer since you will have nothing to reward yourself for. Instead, try to pick a time you will be enough distracted to do your homework.
- If you must use your laptop or computer, set up a free, timed website blocker on all social media sites and any other websites that could distract you from your work. List your assignments in order from most important to least.
- If you or your friend are at the library or meeting someone for the first time, make sure to ask the librarian about a different spot than where you are sitting for your homework. If you are sitting next to someone else, keep them company.
- Create a self-designated section to return to to later to refocus on your homework. Review your homework for any distractions you are unaware of.

How to make a pie in a jar
Choose the jar.
A canning or pickling jar works well for this project.
Make sure the jar has a lid.

OPTIONS:
- The lid will ensure your canning and pickling will hold together efficiently. Your jar must be firm enough so that you will be able to move it without spilling.
- It shouldn't have any holes since canning jars can open easily. Choose a metal jar, or one with narrow holes if you plan to pickle your cherries in the canning process.
- Check the jar for any damage or breakage. You'll be both freezing and baking with the jar so ensuring the jar is free of damage is imperative.
- If it doesn't, the air can't move through until the gelatin has dripped down through to the base. Plastic jars are ideal for this craft because they don't come down to room temperature.
