Q: This shot is ideal for low post players who are positioned inside the paint, close to the basket. When perfected the jump shot is notoriously difficult to stop as it gives players a key height advantage over their opponents. However, this shot should rarely be attempted outside of the paint as it is difficult to execute from a significant distance. Pivot your lead foot so it is parallel to the defender and the hoop. If you shoot with your right, your left foot and hip should both be parallel with the defender. Your body should be positioned sideways to the hoop with the non-shooting shoulder pointing toward the hoop. It's crucial to make sure your body is acting as a barrier between the basketball and the defender. Make sure your shoulders are even and firm so they can act as blockage against the defender. They should be across from the defender's chest so your non-shooting arm can block the defender while the other arm makes the shot. Keep your knees bent to maintain maximum flexibility in case the defender tries to knock you off balance. This low center of gravity is also crucial when your shooting leg lifts up to give you enough air to shoot the ball over your opponent's body. You need to make the basket your main center of focus so you are able to accurately make the shot. Ideally, you should be making the jump shot from inside the paint, so there will likely be a mass of defenders attempting to block your shot. Pay attention to your surroundings using your peripheral vision, but don't get distracted from the basket as this could alter the trajectory of your shot away from the basket.
A: Understand the right time for a hook shot. Start by positioning your body as if you were going to do a normal jump shot. Square your shoulders. Get low. Look at the basket.

Q: Before you begin your letter, know who you're addressing. Most of the time, your nanny will be using your letter of recommendation for many different jobs. Therefore, something like "Dear Sir or Madam" or "To Whom it May Concern" is usually appropriate. However, in certain situations you may be addressing someone specific. If your nanny is applying for a specific job that requires letters of recommendation, you should address whoever's in charge of hiring. If your nanny is applying to a job through an agency, it might be a good idea to address that agency in your letter. For example, "Dear Hiring Staff of Lancaster Nannying." Before you write the letter, do some basic brainstorming. This will help you sort through your thoughts before trying to write the letter. Pause and consider why you would recommend your nanny. You can start by jotting down a list of words. Write down your nanny's best attributes on a piece of paper. Challenge yourself to think of 5 or 10 words that best describe your nanny's best qualities. Then, write down your best memories of working with your nanny. The best letters of recommendation will include anecdotes and stories that speak to your nanny's talent. You may want to ask your nanny to e-mail you his or her resume. This can help jog your memory as it's a good idea to list your nanny's personal achievements and career success in a letter of recommendation. Once you've brainstormed a little, you can start writing your letter. In your introduction, you'll begin by recommending your nanny and then proceed to state the basic facts. You'll usually start your letter with something like, "I am writing this letter to recommend Lacey Shepherd to your nanny agency." If you want to set your letter apart a little, you could give a slightly more glowing recommendation. For example, "I would highly recommend the services of the Lacey Shepherd for your agency. She has been an extraordinary asset to me as a working mother." From there, you should state the basic facts. List the dates of employment, whether your nanny was a live-in or live-out nanny, and her basic responsibilities. For example, "Lacey worked for me from March of 2014 to April of 2015. She lived in a small guest room in my basement Mondays through Fridays. She supervised my children, Charlie and Olivia, while I was at work. She was responsible for getting the kids ready for school in the morning, driving them home after school, preparing snacks and meals, and accompanying Olivia to her various extracurricular activities on the days I worked late." One or two pages, single spaced, is usually adequate for a letter of recommendation. Any longer and an employer may get bored and stop reading. As you continue writing your letter, keep the length requirement in mind. If you're particularly enthusiastic about your nanny, you may accidentally go overboard. Try to keep things brief and to the point as you write your letter.
A: Check who you're addressing. Brainstorm. State the basic facts in the introduction. Keep your letter one to two pages in length.

Q: How long this ends up taking depends on how light or dark you want your highlights to be. The longer you leave bleach in your hair, the lighter the highlights will be. Do not cover your head with a shower cap, or you will mess up the foil. Most bleach kits will have recommended times for highlights. Use these times as a guide; your own hair might process faster. Once the processing time is up, remove the foil pieces. Step into the shower, and tilt your head back. Rinse your hair with cool water until all of the bleach comes out. Wash your hair with shampoo first, then rinse it out with cool water. Next, apply a deep conditioner, and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse it out with cool water as well. If your highlights turned out yellow or brassy, use a purple shampoo to neutralize the yellow tones. Follow the directions on the bottle to determine how long to leave the shampoo on your hair before rinsing (usually 2-10 minutes). You can use regular conditioner instead of a deep conditioner, if you wish. In this case, you only need to let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Bleach is harsh on your hair, even if it is just highlights. As such, you want to treat your hair as gently as possible. The safest drying method is to pat your hair with a towel to get rid of excess moisture, then let it dry on its own. If you must use a hairdryer, use a low-heat setting.
A: Allow the bleach to process for about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the foil pieces and rinse the bleach out. Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Allow your hair to air dry, if possible.

Q: Remove the parsley leaves from the stem. Finely chop the leaves on a cutting board with a chef's knife. Measure 1 cups parsley and pour it into a large mixing bowl. Smash 3 cloves garlic with the flat side of a chef's knife. Remove the skin from each clove. On a cutting board, mince the garlic with the chef's knife. Scoop the minced garlic into the large mixing bowl. Remove the skin from one shallot. Quarter, slice, and then mince the shallot. Add the minced shallot to the large mixing bowl. In the large mixing bowl, add teaspoon red pepper flakes, teaspoon sea salt, and teaspoon black pepper. Measure and pour 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and 3 tablespoons (44.4ml) lemon juice. Stir the ingredients with a whisk. If the sauce looks dry, add up to 1 additional tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Remove the skin and nut from the small, ripe avocado. Cut the avocado into cubes. Add the cubed avocado to the chimichurri sauce and toss. Serve immediately.
A:
Destem and mince the parsley. Peel and mince the garlic. Peel and mince a shallot. Combine the rest of the ingredients, excluding the avocado. Cube the avocado and add the sauce. Finished.
