INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your speed will only increase if you put in the work. Your punches won't get faster unless you put in the time. You want to develop muscle memory by repeating the same technique over and over. Completing drills and developing a routine will cement the movement into your memory. Dynamic stretches require movement to stretch your muscles whereas static stretches require you to pull and hold your muscle to feel the stretch. Get your muscles working and warmed up with dynamic stretches. Some examples of dynamic stretches to help with your speed are squats, jumping jacks, jump rope, and lunges. Stretch your arms with hugging motions or arm rotation. As long as you feel like your body is moving and your muscles are being activated, you are likely dynamic stretching. Your muscles can be compared to rubber bands. They will be tight and constricted when cold. When you warm your muscles up the movement becomes easier. Finish your warm up once you feel your muscles are loose. Wear athletic clothing and proper footwear. You want your clothes to be comfortable and they should not restrict your movement. Make sure to tightly lace your shoes so that you get proper traction. Don't eat a heavy meal before practice or practice with an empty stomach. Eat a healthy light snack to get you through your workout as oily junk food, like burgers, will make you lethargic. Remember to drink a lot of water while you practice to stay hydrated.

SUMMARY: Practice as much as your schedule allows. Keep loose with dynamic stretches. Wear proper equipment.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Nothing fancy here, just up, down, up down. You can reposition your fabric between stitches if necessary and do any small tweaking as you go.

SUMMARY: Thread a needle and tie a knot in the thread. Hold your fabric together and start sewing with a "running" stitch. Remove any basting stitches when you are satisfied with the permanent seam.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is a cream you apply at night, and it can remove light discolorations. In addition, it can keep you from developing spots in the future. Your dermatologist can prescribe a prescription-strength version of this for the best results. Put it on at night since it may make you more sensitive to the sun. This treatment is basically like sanding down your skin. It uses very small particles to exfoliate your dead skin. It's doesn't involve chemicals at all, which means it's less harmful to your skin than other treatments, like chemical peels. This process could make skin conditions like small red veins on your face and rosacea more noticeable, so this treatment isn't for everyone. The main side effects of this procedure are redness and scabbing, though not everyone is affected in this way. This treatment will work best for small dark spots, such as age spots, because the skin is frozen. The process of freezing the skin destroys it along with the pigment, and new, lighter skin grows in. This can cause discoloration and scarring. Chemical peels take off the top layer of the skin using chemicals. You can do chemical peels at home, but they aren't as beneficial to dark spots as professional ones. The downside is you will definitely need more than one treatment, maybe up to 6 or 8. This can cause skin irritation, and there is a risk that your skin may change color permanently. Make sure you wear sunscreen after this treatment, as your skin will be sensitive. Lasers focus light on the area and can reduce hyperpigmentation. Most dermatologists will offer this treatment, though they may offer different variations. One of the best is the kind that uses a rapid rate to treat the area with a focused beam, such as The Lightpod Neolaser by Aerolase. Also, discuss whether the treatment will produce a cooling blast after the laser, which helps prevent the treatment from causing irritation. While this can cause skin irritation, it's generally less irritating than other treatments. However, you should wear sunscreen after getting this treatment.

SUMMARY: Request Retin-A to remove and prevent dark spots. See if microdermabrasion would help light discoloration. Talk about cryotherapy for small spots. Discuss chemical peels with your dermatologist for heavier discoloration. Ask about laser treatment.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are two versions of Minecraft; Minecraft (also known as Minecraft: Bedrock Edition) and Minecraft: Java Edition. You will need to download the appropriate server software for whichever version of Minecraft you are running. To determine which version of Minecraft you are running, launch Minecraft and check the title screen. If it says "Java Edition" below "Minecraft" on the title screen, you are running Minecraft: Java Edition. If the title screen just says "Minecraft" with no text below it, you are running the Bedrock Edition. The server software for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is still in it's Alpha testing phase. It may be more buggy than Minecraft: Java Edition. Only players on PC and Mac can connect to Minecraft: Java Edition servers. Players on Windows 10, Android, iPhone, iPad, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PS4 can connect to a Minecraft Bedrock server. Alternatively, you can sign up for a free Minecraft server at Minehut.com. You can also subscribe to Minecraft Realms to host a permanent server. If you plan to use your computer as a server for Minecraft, you'll need to have a fast CPU and sufficient RAM to handle the number of people you anticipate logging on to your server to play. You will also need additional resources to run your computer's operating system, and the game itself. The following are the recommended computer specs needed to host a Minecraft server, depending on the number of players connected: 1-3 Players: 2 GB RAM, Intel Core-Based CPUs or AMD K8-Based CPUs and better, 10 GB empty hard drive space. 3-5 Players: 3 GB RAM, Intel Core-Based CPUs or AMD K8-Based CPUs and better, 18 GB empty hard drive space. 5-7 Players: 6 GB RAM, Intel Nehalem-Based CPUs or AMD K10-Based CPUs and better, 25 GB empty hard drive space. 8+ Players: 8 GB RAM, Intel Nehalem-Based CPUs or AMD K10-Based CPUs at 3.6GHz or higher, 35 GB empty hard drive space with high read/write speeds recommended. You'll need a fast upload and download speed to allow players to interact with one another in real time. The following is the recommended internet connection speeds depending on how many players are connected: 1-3 Players: 6 Mbps upload, 3 Mbps download 3-5 Players: 8 Mbps upload, 4 Mbps download 5-7 Players: 14 Mbps upload, 7 Mbps download 8+ Players: 30 Mbps upload, 15 Mbps download The software that enables you to use your computer as a Minecraft server requires Java to run. Windows computers do not usually come with Java pre-installed. You can install a current version of Java from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp. Java is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You can run 32-bit Java on a 64-bit computer, particularly if you're using an older browser that only supports 32-bit Java, but you can't run 64-bit Java on a PC with 32-bit architecture. Macintosh computers, in contrast, usually come with Java pre-installed and update it automatically. If your Mac doesn't have a current version of Java installed, you can get it from the same source as the Windows version.

SUMMARY:
Check which version of Minecraft you are running. Consider your computer's capabilities. Check your Internet connection speed. Be sure to have the most current version of Java on your system.
