In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Double service courts are wider, but shorter than single service courts. The basic court lines for badminton doubles are: The center line. This is the line that runs perpendicular to the net and runs down the middle of each side. It separates the two service boxes. The doubles side lines. These are the outermost lines that run perpendicular to the net. The short service line. This is the line closest to the net, and runs parallel to the net. The line covers the width of the court. The doubles long service line. This is the second to last line near the back of the court. It is parallel to the net, and spans the width of the court. An attacking formation is the ideal formation for you and your badminton teammate. An attacking formation is when one player is in the front of the court (usually the server assumes this position), and one player is in the back of the court, i.e., the defensive player. The defensive player usually stands right behind the setter. The setter, i.e., the front player, secures the net position by forcing their opponent to lift the ball. They also intercept a short defense or shot with a smash. The defensive player, i.e., the back player, usually fires powerful shots, like smashes, from the back of the court. A defensive formation is when both players stand side by side covering their respective sides. It is the weaker formation of the two. It usually occurs when you or your teammate execute a high lift or high clear, which is a weak return. A high lift or high clear sets your opponents up to smash or net the ball, and thus, win a rally.
Summary: Familiarize yourself with the court lines. Get into an attacking formation. Assume a defensive formation.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Observe the techniques the stylists use. Watch how they put the curlers in your hair. Note how long the chemicals are being applied. With this information, you'll be able to get a perm kit at the store and safely give yourself a perm at home. Your stylist will use a series of plastic curlers to give you a perm. Small curlers are best to create the tightest afro. If the curlers are too big, your perm will only achieve a wavy look instead of the afro look you are going for. Don't wash or comb your hair for a day or two immediately after your perm. Letting the perm settle will help the effects of the perm to last longer and keep your hair healthy. The goal is to loosen up the curls just enough to make it possible to backcomb. You can also use your fingers to gently separate the curls. This will further separate the curls and give your hair a fuller afro look. Hold a small section of hair taut with your fingers. Smaller sections will make for greater volume in your hair but will take a bit longer to do. Use a fine-toothed comb to gently comb the hair downward toward your scalp. Use just enough pressure to create some tangles, but not so much that the hair breaks. Repeat until the section has the desired volume. Ditch your combs! Shape your afro hair with your hands and a pick comb. Only apply hairspray to help it hold if needed. Since curly hair tends to get dry, you can apply shea or coconut butter regularly to help keep your hair moisturized and glossy.
Summary: Get a perm at a salon. Request the smallest possible curlers. Wait a few days to allow the perm to settle. Comb out your curls with a wide-toothed pick comb to separate the curls. Rat out the curls by backcombing with a fine-tooth comb. Style your afro.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This is a delicate situation at best, but remember that your friend is unlikely to stop wanting to be your friend just because you asked her out, even if she doesn't want to go on a date. The bigger problem is likely to come from you, as you try to move on from asking her. If all your hopes and dreams are hinging on getting a date with your friend, you are probably in for a lot of disappointment. This can potentially save you a lot of embarrassment in front of mutual friends. If your friend has half as much respect for you as you have for her, she won't embarrass you about it after the fact. If she does cause a scene, she wasn't worth it anyway. Don't declare your love just ask her to come on a date with you. It may very well be that you do love your friend, but saying it won't change anything because it doesn't give her any concrete reason to consider dating you. It's better to keep your feelings on the down low and treat your offer like any other. Make sure you're very clear that you're asking for a romantic date, and not just a time to hang out. Hiding or muddling your intentions won't help anything. No matter what the result of your offer to take your friend on a date, the onus of responsibility is on you to be mature and graceful. If she says yes, that's great but it's still no time to unload anything on her. After all, you haven't even gone on a first date yet. If she says no, don't take out your disappointment on her, either. Instead, excuse yourself (she'll understand) and go home to mourn in private.
Summary:
Understand the risks. Wait until you have some time alone. Ask her out simply. Exercise restraint.
