Q: In order to practice volleyball, you need access to good equipment, including a comfortable outfit that allows a range of body motion, shoes specifically designed for volleyball, and a good quality volleyball. As well, you should have access to a volleyball net and court. Men, especially taller men, may need to opt for a basketball shoe instead of a volleyball shoe. In order to do some volleyball drills, it can be helpful to practice against a tall smooth wall or a basketball hoop. When you play volleyball, you will assume a basic ready position. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees. Make sure your body weight is more on the balls of your feet so that you are ready to move quickly. Hold your arms loosely in front of you Many volleyball moves require you to move quickly from side to side. Minimize the amount of movement (and the amount of energy required) by shuffling your feet side to side. Stand in the basic ready stance and move sideways in a straight line. Keep your body low to the ground. Do not cross your feet over one another while shuffling. You might trip. Once you've got the hang of shuffling your feet, start integrating it into other drills, such as passing the ball to another player. Serving the ball is done from one back corner of the court. The ball is hit over the net. This puts the ball in motion in the game. To serve the ball, toss the ball straight up into the air with one hand. Bring your other arm up over your head to hit the middle of the ball. Make sure to fully extend your arm, and make contact with the ball when your arm is extended. It is also important to make sure the ball is in front of you when you make contact with it. Keep your arm moving downward in order to follow through with the hit. Your footwork is also very important here, as it can determine how hard you hit the ball, and if it even goes over the net. you can either start with the foot opposite of the hand you're hitting with, or on the same side as your hitting hand. If you start on the same side that you hit with, you will take another step, and lean on that opposite foot for leverage.If you start on the opposite foot you hit with, you will simply toss the ball, and lean in as you hit. You will need to see which works best for you, and also practice your timing. Stand in the basic ready position as the ball is moving downward. Position yourself just behind where the ball will land. The earlier you're ready to hit the ball, the more time you have to make minor adjustments. Put your arms together in front of you with your elbows close together. Hold the back of your hand in the palm of your other hand and press your thumbs together. Don't swing your arms; rather, move your shoulders to pass the ball. Use the force of your core and lower body to power the ball in the right direction. Setting the ball is a maneuver in which one player makes contact with the ball, setting it up for another player to spike the ball. Set the ball by raising your arms above your head. Touch all of your fingertips together and then pull your hands apart so there is just enough room for the volleyball. When the ball comes down over the net or is passed from another player on your team, get under the ball and bounce it up with your fingertips. Do not touch the ball with your palms. A correct set uses only the fingertips of the thumbs, index fingers and middle fingers. Work up to properly setting the ball by first catching the ball in between your fingertips. Once you've mastered the ball settling into your hands smoothly and with balance, then work on springing the ball into the air with your fingertips. Spiking the ball is a technique to hit the ball forcefully over the net so that the other team has a hard time recovering the ball. Spike the ball after another player on your team sets the ball. As the ball moves upward in the air, jump up to meet the ball at its highest point. Hit the top of the ball with the middle of your hand: this will give the ball a solid top-spin, sending it over the net. Spiking the ball effectively requires good timing. If you jump too early or too late, you'll miss hitting the ball at the best position. Practice spiking frequently to hone your timing. Volleyball is a sport that demands keeping your eye on the ball at all times and knowing when to pass, spike or hit the ball over the net. Having a good sense of timing will strengthen your defense. Develop your sense of timing by practicing drills that emphasize timing, such as blocking the ball at the net. Blocking the ball will demand that you watch the ball carefully and keep your eye on other players' movements.
A: Acquire good equipment. Practice the basic volleyball stance. Practice shuffling your feet. Learn how to serve the ball. Learn to pass the ball. Learn to set the ball. Learn to spike the ball. Develop a good sense of timing.

Q: If you want to make up a simple sleeve to keep a CD in that you can design by hand, all you need is a piece of paper, some glue, and some good folding. It's easy, if you've got a ruler or a CD for a guide. All you've got to do is: Fold a sheet of US letter-sized, or A4 sized paper horizontally, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) overlap. Fold in both sides approximately 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) inward. Open the paper flat and re-fold the two vertical side strips, then slide the CD into the pocket of the longer side, beneath the vertical side strips. Refold over the horizontal and fold in the 1-inch (2.5 cm) overlap to complete the square. Tuck the overlap into the remaining pocket and press flat. After you create the pocket, it's a good idea to secure it to make sure the CD will stay up and won't fall apart when you give it away to someone. Good options are usually staples, glue, or even just tape. Use the same method described in the previous section, using old pictures or drawings to decorate the outside of the CD case as normal. It's usually a good idea to remove the CD from the sleeve while you're doing this, so you don't have to worry about messing it up with glue or ink. One cool idea is actually designing the paper before you fold it, making the image wrap around the outside of the case. It can make the case look unique, if you don't know where the folds are going to be in each one. One little hack for securing your DIY CD cases is to take the pages from one of those old CD books people used to carry around in their cars, pre-iPods, and carefully cut the pockets out to use for security. You can even use these and just slip CD-sized track lists into the same pocket for a quick alternative.
A: Use plain paper to fold a sleeve. Secure the folds with staples or glue. Design the sleeves accordingly. Slip into a plastic slip case for protection.

Q: In a relaxed state, your mind is more open to new ideas and directions. You want an environment that is comfortable and relaxing. Make sure it is a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Music is a great tool for relaxing your mind. Use music that helps you focus. Only use music if it helps you meditate. Do not use music if it distracts you. Either sit crossed legged on the floor or in a chair with your legs uncrossed. Make sure that you are comfortable and well supported. It's best to keep both feet on the ground if you are sitting in a chair. If you do not want to keep your eyes open, find a room with enough light to come through your eyelids. While relaxed, you might fall asleep. While you sit comfortably, try to relax and let go of your thoughts. Breath deeply and regularly. Focus your attention on a point right below your navel. Once you are aware of this spot, only pay passive attention to it. If a thought comes to you, do not engage it. Acknowledge the thought and let it go. You want to avoid active participation. Any active participation might make you tense and distract you. Once you feel completely relaxed, repeat your autosuggestion to yourself. Put as much emotion as you can into the autosuggestion. Visualize yourself performing the autosuggestion. You want to give yourself enough time to focus on the autosuggestions so that you can absorb them.
A:
Use meditation to autosuggest. Find somewhere comfortable. Use music. Sit comfortably. Keep your eyes partially open. Make yourself relaxed. Detach yourself. Repeat your autosuggestions. Spend at least twenty to thirty minutes in meditation regularly.
