Let your chickens see the treats in your hand so they approach you. Continue to do this around 2-3 times a day so your chickens associate food with the bridge noise. Make sure you're making your bridge noise first and giving them treats immediately after. Watch your chickens reactions after you bridge. If they perk up and approach you like they're waiting for food, the training is working. Give them the treats after they've come to attention and approached you. If your chickens aren't associating your bridge noise with food, keep training them until they do. It could take several weeks for all of your chickens to get there. Make sure all of your chickens are adequately trained before you let them out. If one chicken doesn't associate your bridge with treats, that chicken won't respond when you try to call the flock back to their coop. You may need to make it several times so all the chickens hear it. When the chickens return, give them their treats. If any of your chickens don't respond to your bridge noise, go collect them and bring them back to the coop. Keep training them until they make the connection.

One-sentence summary -- Make your bridge noise and give your chickens a treat. Start hiding the treats while making your bridge noise after a few days of training. Let your chickens roam free once they associate your bridge noise with food. Make the bridge noise when you're ready for your chickens to come home.

A thesis statement should be an arguable idea, meaning that someone could potentially hold and argue the opposing view. For example, the following thesis statement is weak because it just states a fact: "Exercising is good for you." This kind of thesis statement leads to an uninteresting, underdeveloped paper. It is a proven fact that exercise is good for you and no one would legitimately argue against that. Writing a thesis is tricky business. You must give enough background information to guide your reader, but not overshare and provide too much material in your introduction. A broad thesis statement makes claims that are ambiguous, vague, or overreaching. They attempt to address too many topics for the assignment and don't have a clear focus. A narrow thesis statement is too single-minded or specific to use in crafting a well-developed essay. An example of a broad thesis statement is, "Sigmund Freud is one of the greatest psychologists in medical history." This thesis statement is too broad because it is too general/vague and could discuss almost anything. It doesn't tell you where the paper will go, what the main idea is, or any support for this claim. An example of a narrow thesis statement is, "Sigmund Freud's theories on dream interpretation single-handedly changed the evolution of psychoanalysis." This thesis statement is too narrow because it only allows for one viewpoint (that Freud was the only influence on psychoanalysis), which will lead to an essay that ignores a lot of evidence (other influences on psychoanalysis). Generalizing, especially in thesis statements, is dangerous because it attempts to summarize all of the paper's content into one lump sum idea while omitting any of the supporting details. These kinds of statements are weak because they make a claim that is not backed up by evidence. Statements that generalize tend to start with a phrase like: "What it all boils down to is" "What this adds up to is"

One-sentence summary -- Refrain from simply stating facts. Find the line between too broad and too narrow. Don't generalize.

High intensity interval training (HIIT) switches between bursts of intense activity and brief periods of less-intense activity. HIIT burns a high amount of calories in a short time and continues to burn calories after the workout. A good twenty minute HIIT program is to do forty-five seconds of each the following exercises: push-ups, squats, butt kicks, tricep dips, and lunges. After one round, rest for 15 seconds, and repeat. Do three rounds total. A good HIIT program can help you lose belly fat, which will help reduce your love handles. A fun exercise that really tones up that troublesome love handle area is using a hula hoop, sold at most fitness stores. Put on some music and swivel your hips, maneuvering the hoop higher and lower up and down the column of your waist area. After a while you can really feel your oblique muscles kicking in, meaning that you are starting to have some effect on strengthening the muscles below the love handles area. Decline twisting sit-ups are more intense than normal sit-ups, as you are working against gravity as you lower the body and rise up again. Just perform a set of normal sit-ups, but twist to alternate sides as you rise from the floor and reverse the position as you lower back to the start position. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet firmly set on the ground. Raise your torso, focusing on twisting as far to one side as you possibly can. Lower back to the floor slowly, as this helps work the muscles across the full range of motion.

One-sentence summary -- Do high-intensity interval training. Use a hula hoop. Try decline twisting sit-ups.

Work, games, and most other activities should be done at a table or desk instead of on the bed, and in another room whenever possible. Training yourself to associate the bed with sleep or calm bedtime activities can help trigger falling asleep more consistently. A way to wind down each night puts you in the right frame of mind for sleeping, especially if you repeat the same ritual every time. If lying awake in bed causes anxiety or fear, this is especially important. Try the following ideas: Read a calm book. Listen to a book on tape or a podcast, with your eyes closed. If this keeps you up, listen to nature sounds instead. Eat a small snack if you tend to wake up hungry, such as a glass of milk, a banana, or a small bowl of low-sugar cereal. Exercising is a great idea, as long as you don't wake yourself up with a workout right before bed. Exhausting yourself to extreme fatigue will not produce restful sleep, but some form of physical activity is often a necessity to help you stick to a daily sleep schedule. As mentioned above, your body slows down as it starts to sleep, including your metabolism. If you eat a heavy meal before bedtime, your slowed metabolism could keep you uncomfortably full or return to "active mode" and produce unwanted energy.
