Q: Whether you are competing in a doubles or singles tennis tournament, it is important to begin mental and physical preparation well before your competition day. Eliminate distractions that will take your focus away from the competition and work on your skills with a coach or friend. Identify your weaknesses and search online for drills that will help turn these weaknesses into strengths before the tournament. Work on your volleying, footwork, and stamina in the weeks before your competition. Give your body time to digest and store your food as energy by eating a vegetable, fruit, and carbohydrate-based meal well before the competition. Bring snacks, like fruit, a small lunch, and plenty of your own water or sports drinks if you are playing more than one match in a day. Good meal options before a tennis tournament include a banana with oatmeal, a fruit smoothie containing strawberries and bananas with a protein supplement, or a whole grain piece of toast topped with jam and an assortment of nuts. A week before the tournament, assess what gear you do not already have. Consider purchasing new gear, like a racquet or tennis shoes, if what you have is worn out or old. Assemble your gear, including comfortable clothes, tennis shoes, and a racquet, and place them in a bag so that you won't forget anything. Tennis clothing should fit comfortably and be breathable to limit sweating. Cotton shirts will keep you cool if it is hot out, and provide warmth if you are playing in the cold. Tennis shorts can be purchased at any sporting goods store and are specific to the sport, preventing the buildup of moisture while looking professional. Headbands and wristbands are important to keep sweat out of your eyes and off of your hands while playing. Proper tennis shoes are an important investment and should always be worn with moisture resistant sports socks. Bring a towel to wipe the sweat from your face and arms in between play. If the tournament does not supply tennis balls, bring your own for the match and for warming up. Before your first match, it is important to warm up properly to avoid injury and prepare your body for the competition. Go for a five minute jog before your match to loosen your muscles and increase your heart rate. Stretch your major muscles groups, like your quads and back muscles, before the match to increase flexibility and help avoid injury. Practice static stretching of all your major muscle groups, including your quads, hamstrings, upper and lower back, and chest muscles for five minutes after a cardio warmup. It is easy to get nervous on the day of a tennis tournament, but nerves will only get in the way of you winning. Picture yourself winning the tennis match, going through each set and seeing yourself succeed. This visualization will calm your nerves and help you stay confident in the moments before the match starts. In the days leading up to your match, visualize your success before falling asleep and before practice to get used to this kind of thinking.
A: Start practicing two weeks before the tournament. Eat a balanced meal two hours before the competition. Bring all the necessary tennis gear to the match. Arrive at least thirty minutes early to warm up. Visualize your success to calm yourself.

Q: Type is "APR mortgage calculator" in a search engine and click on a result. This is a very complicated equation, and it is difficult to find by hand. You are much better off using a specialized computer algorithm, and there are plenty of free ones available. You should see boxes for the following: Principal, or Loan Term or Length Interest Fees (Optional) For this example, assume you are taking out a $300,000 mortgage loan. Mortgages are simply specific loans on houses. For this example, assume it costs $750 extra in fees. If you're just planning potential mortgages, you might not have fee information yet. This is fine to leave out -- it won't make an enormous difference on the final calculation. For this example, calculate based on a 6.25% interest rate. Most mortgages are based on the 30-year fixed. You may have to convert this to months, however. This is easily done by multiplying the number of years by twelve. This is different from the interest rate, as APR represents the real cost of the loan based on the total amount borrowed, not just the current interest rate. For the hypothetical mortgage provided ($300,000, $750 in fees, 6.25% interest, 360-month term), you should get: The APR of our hypothetical mortgage would be 6.37%. The monthly principal and interest payment would be $1,847. The total cost of the interest on the mortgage would add up to $364,975, making the total cost of the mortgage a whopping $664,920.
A: Locate an APR calculator online. Enter the loan amount where indicated on the calculator. Enter the extra costs of securing the loan (fees) where indicated on the calculator. Enter the given interest rate, which represents the interest rate per year without the additional fees. Enter the life, or term, of the loan. Hit the "calculate" button to get the APR.

Q: Whatever word processing program you're using, you need to start by highlighting the text you want to underline with your cursor. This can be done by dragging the cursor, or double-clicking a single line of text, if you want to underline everything. In Microsoft Word, you need to navigate to the Font tab to find the group of options that includes italicizing, bolding, and underlining. In Word 2012, you need to click on the "Home" tab and select the font group. In Word 2008 or older, you need to go to "View" and select Formatting Palette, or click open the formatting palette at the top of the screen and switch to the "Font" tab, if it's not there already. This looks like an uppercase "U" that is underlined. All you need to do is select it and the text will be underlined automatically, if all you want is a single line under the text. Word also offers a variety of other underline styles that you can select in the same way, after clicking the "Style" box. You can use a double underline, or other more decorative underlines for the text. Different versions of Word will have different options available. To change the color of the underline, click Underline color, and then click the color that you want from the palette available.
A: Select the text that you want to underline. Find the Font options. Press the Underline icon. Click the style that you want. Change the color of the underline.

Q: Colon therapists perform colonics, or colon irrigation procedures, at their offices each day. Colonics can be somewhat uncomfortable, but they can be very effective in detoxifying the colon. Make sure you go to a colon therapist who is trained in practicing safe and sanitary procedures. If you are having colon issues, ask your doctor about a colonic and what to expect. During a colonic the colon therapist gently inserts a tube in your rectum. The tube is attached to a pump that forces water or some other liquid into your large intestine. After your colon is saturated, the therapist removes the first tube and carefully inserts a new tube. The therapist will massage your abdomen to expel the water and waste from your colon. The therapist may repeat the process to fully cleanse the bowels. Up to 16 gallons (61L) of water can be pumped and expelled during this procedure. Subsequent procedures may involve water treated with probiotics, herbs, or coffee, which help extract things from your colon. The longer that stool stays in your colon, the more time your body has to re-absorb toxins. Many of the changes listed above should help you to have a daily bowel movement if this is not happening for you currently. If you have improved your diet and tried other options to help and are still not going once a day, it is a good idea for you to visit your doctor for further evaluation and advice. If you are having more than 2 bowel movements per day or your bowel movements are loose, consider consulting with a doctor before proceeding.
A:
Consider a colonic. Ask your doctor about the procedure. Make sure you have at least 1 bowel movement per day.
