INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This way, you can listen attentively to your friend without being interrupted or having to focus on anything else. It may be difficult for your friend to tell you what's wrong if there are a lot of distractions for you and them. Try to go somewhere quiet, if you aren't already in a quiet place. Turn off your electronic devices or at least put them on silent mode. It can be distracting when your phone is beeping, pinging, and ringing every few seconds. Let your friend know that nothing is more important to you than them right now. Try to clear your mind so that you aren't thinking about anything that might distract you. Focus on just listening to your friend and taking in what they are telling you. Use your body language to let them know they have your attention. Turn towards them. Look at them. Tell them that they have your attention. Try saying, "You have my full attention and I'm here for you." Calmly, ask your friend what is going on or what happened. For example, you might say, "I want to know what has you so upset. Please tell me what's wrong." Or even, "What's going on? What happened?" Forcing them is more likely to make them bottle their feelings up. It could also cause them to become upset again or upset them even more. Assure them that you are there when they are ready to talk about it, and create trust. Try saying something like, "There's no rush, I'm here for you. You can tell me when you are ready." Sit quietly with them until they are ready to talk to you. Your friend may also make small talk while they are building up their courage to tell you what happened. They may not immediately want to tell what is going on, but, if you give them a little time, they will eventually open up to you on their own.

SUMMARY: Make sure there are no distractions. Give your friend your full attention. Find out exactly what has your friend upset. Don't force your friend to tell you what is wrong. Be patient.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Though a single bull-ride takes all of 8 seconds, bull-riding takes years of practice and guidance from an experienced rider who'll show you the ropes. Aside from gaining access to bulls and the people who keep them, riding bulls requires that you develop proper riding technique and touch on your animal, something that you won't be able to learn overnight. Just as you would for any sport or trade, get a coach you can work with and who'll be excited to teach you. Bull-riding trade magazines are widely available at rural outlets and feed stores, advertising a wide variety of open competitions, coaching options, and clinics with experienced pro riders if you want to learn the basics. Bull-riding has historical roots in equestrian competitions between Mexican ranch hands, contests called Charreada that tested a variety of overall skills. Now the sport is more professionalized, and the primary governing bodies in the US are the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) and Championship Bull Riding (CBR). Born to Buck programs are widely available for youth who are interested in learning to ride bulls. Bull breeders hold open events to help interested parties get some experience on hot-bred animals. At the very least, you can learn if you've got the onions for it. Learning to get comfortable on an animal with a relatively flat back will help you immensely if your ultimate goal is to ride bulls. Learn how to shift your weight and grip with your legs, riding an animal that isn't actively angry and trying to get you off. Building core riding skills is an essential first step in riding bulls. While there's little required of the bull-rider in terms of gear, you'd stand out (and wouldn't be permitted to participate in most competitive rodeos) if you weren't in basic cowboy gear. This includes jeans, button-up western shirts, and heeled cowboy boots, generally topped with the iconic cowboy hat. Bull-riders always wear a protective leather glove and a braided bull-rope that wraps around the bull to hold on to. Pick a glove that's thin enough to grip tightly, allowing you flexibility in your grip, but also thick enough to offer some protection. The rope is generally treated with resin, which helps with the grip when it gets heated up. In competition, protective helmets and other gear aren't mandatory at most arenas, though are gaining popularity, especially in training and practice. Some bull-riders will wear a protective helmet, similar to a bicycle or motorcycle helmet, as well as a heavy vest to protect the internal organs. A good ride requires great balance and coordination, as well as the brute strength required to hold onto a bucking bull that outweighs you by a thousand pounds. Bull-riding training will include a great deal of basic upper body and core work outs, as well as leg-building exercise like squats. Working out your arms with bicep curls will help develop the proper strength motion in your holding arm. Developing a routine of squats will help build the leg strength necessary to grip the bull and hold on for dear life.
Summary: Apprentice to an experienced bull-rider to learn the tricks of the trade. Get comfortable riding a horse bareback. Wear the basic gear. Consider more protective gear. Develop your upper and lower body strength.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure it matches up to the pegboard interval of the board you purchased. Pegboards are available in 1/4 and 1/8 inch (0.6 and 0.3cm) holes. Experiment with the configuration by placing the tools, craft supplies or kitchen supplies next to the hanger.

SUMMARY:
Buy a pegboard organizer kit. Lay the hangers out on a large table. Install from the table to the pegboard to ensure the proper layout. Add additional screws and washers if your pegboard moves extensively when you install the hangers.
