INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You want to be sure there are no pedestrians walking past and that no other vehicles are in the way. If you folded your side mirrors in when parking, open them before reversing if you have enough room to do so. If you were able to open the side mirrors or if they were already open, check both to be sure the coast is clear before reversing. You will still need to continuously watch for pedestrians and other vehicles the entire time you are reversing out of the parking space. Remember to continue watching out for people and other vehicles as you back up. Do not release the brakes until the next step. You do not want your vehicle to accidentally roll further backward once you are completely clear of the parking space. If you were side mirrors were folded and you were not able to open them prior to backing out, go ahead and open them now before continuing. You have now successfully pulled into and backed out of a small parking space.

SUMMARY: Check your rearview mirror and look behind your vehicle before backing out of the parking space. Put your vehicle in reverse and slowly begin backing up when it is safe. Turn the steering wheel in the direction you want the rear of your vehicle to go as you reverse. Apply the brakes and straighten up the steering wheel once your vehicle is all the way out of the parking spot. Put your vehicle in drive, release the brake, and slowly drive forward.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Mindfulness is the habit of consciously paying attention to what is going on around you. Being mindful takes practice. There are many ways that you can train your mind to increase your mindfulness every day. Think about all of the things you do on a daily basis: you eat, you breathe, you move, you speak. These are just a few examples. Imagine if you begin to be more aware of each part of your day. Think about what you might notice if you begin to truly pay attention to the small parts of your life. This is your first step towards being more mindful. For example, pay attention to each step as you make your morning coffee. Then, be aware of how your senses react while drinking your coffee. Each day, try being mindful of a new part of your routine. Try being mindful during your morning shower. Actually think about your senses. Does the warm water feel good? Do you like how your shower gel smells? Pay attention to the sensations involved in each part of your daily routine. Your mind actually works better in short bursts of activity, so keep your practice sessions short. Studies show that it is more productive and useful to break up lengthy stretches of concentration. You will actually be able to be more mindful if you keep your practice sessions short. For example, focus on picking out an outfit for work, but then let your mind wander while you go through the motions of actually getting dressed.

SUMMARY: Train your mind. Practice being mindful during your routine activities. Be brief.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The distance between you and the ball determines whether your swing will be flat or upright. As you move away from the ball, your swing will be flat; in contrast, your swing will be upright the closer you are to the ball. If you want to drive the ball a greater trajectory, stand further away from the tee. The difference in your swing plane and the degree that you rotate your clubface determines the shape of your swing. Choke down on your club if you're standing closer to the the tee. This will lower its trajectory. Your setup determines the movement of the ball so employ your backswing and downswing as your normally would. Aim for the left quadrant outside of the ball. This increases your chance of having it fade back to the center line. Don't try to hit the ball with all your force and focus on technique. You may be prone for more mistakes, like hooking the ball, the harder and faster you swing. Keep your shoulders at 90 degrees to your target line to create a lot of torque in order to increase the distance of your shot. Improve the turn in your backswing to create separation between your shoulders and hips during your downswing, which creates the torque needed for increased speed. After you complete your backswing, first unwind your lower body and then whip your club through impact. Average golfers often come over the top of the ball when attempting a power fade as they hit from out to in, which creates a weak pull-slice. Hit from the inside by rotating the clubface a few degrees to keep it open. Your setup should have your club face aiming straight at your target while your body -- feet, waist, shoulders -- is shifted to the left. Keep your clubface where it is and swing as if you're trying to hit the ball to the left. Because you've kept the clubface facing straight towards the target, the ball will move back on your line. Your setup produces your ball flight, not your swing. Beginner golfers often create a ballooning megaslice because their clubface is open upon impact. Correct this issue by practicing with a coat hanger on the lead side of your grip so that it touches your forearm. Make sure the coat hanger remains touching your wrist during your backswing and all the way through impact. You cannot get rid of a slice without working on the open face of your club. It doesn't matter how much you work on other factors like flight path. Cupping your wrist causes the coat hanger to move away from your forearm and for the face of your club to be facing forward at the apex of your backswing. You want to correct this issue. Flex your wrist so that the coathanger remains touching your forearm throughout the full range of motion prior to impact. The clubface should also be facing the sky and parallel to your forearm at the apex of your backswing. Go slowly to focus on your technique as you practice this drill. Rehearse as many times as you need in the driving range until you no longer need the coat hanger.

SUMMARY: Stand the correct distance from the ball. Aim left and complete your normal backswing and downswing. Emphasize your backswing. Focus on a descending strike by slightly leaning the shaft forward. Swing along your body lines. Use a coat hanger to correct a megaslice.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your glass tile will come with instructions from the manufacturer and there may be specific installation guidelines. Read and follow the directions provided. The thickness of your glass tile may require a particular cutting tool, for instance, or the manufacturer may recommend a particular technique. Some manufacturers won't provide a warranty for the materials you purchased unless you follow their specific guidelines for installation. If you don't feel comfortable with the installation after reading the instructions, consider contacting the manufacturer directly for more information. You may want to consider using a qualified contractor, carpenter or professional installer for this job. The number of tiles you buy depends on the size of the space and the size of the tiles you choose. Glass tiles are frequently used as backsplash in kitchens, as well as in bathrooms. However, glass tile is very versatile and can be used in many other ways. Measure the space carefully beforehand and purchase the tiles accordingly. You can purchase glass tiles at most home improvement stores. Try to buy about 5% more tile than you need for the job to account for any errors that occur during installation, though if you're putting in a backsplash with many outlets or otherwise has many difficult cuts, allow yourself an additional 10%. The manufacturer's instructions will elaborate on what you should expect from the materials. Depending on the type of tile, some variations in shape, color, shade and tone may be normal and should be expected. Sheet mosaic tiles will often have a mix of glass, metal and ceramic tiles. Confirm that the purchased materials meet your expectations before you begin the installation process. Check for any defective or broken glass, as well. Glass tiles with paper or foil backing should be checked carefully for manufacturing defects that will hard to spot until after it is installed. Small slivers of glass will be discharged as you make cuts, creating a potential safety hazard. Be very careful. It's imperative that you wear some kind of eye protection or safety goggles when cutting glass tile. It's also recommended that you wear heavy cloth or leather gloves to protect your hands from flying glass shards. Gloves will also protect your hands from the extremely sharp edges of freshly cut glass tile.

SUMMARY:
Read the manufacturer's instructions. Measure the space carefully and then purchase the tile. Inspect the tiles for consistency before you begin. Wear protective gear.
