Problem: Article: You may have noticed that there are a wide variety of barcodes, some appearing like thin lines and others, like QR codes, which are more blocky in appearance. These barcode types are called symbologies, some of which include: Plessey: Used for catalogs, store shelves, inventory UPC: Used for North America retail EAN-UCC: Used for international retail Codabar: Used for libraries, blood banks, airbills Code 39: Used for various purposes Code 128: Used for various purposes Code 11: Used for telephones Code 16K: 1D version of Code 128. QR Code: Public domain code from Nippon Denso ID Systems. Has the ability to encode Japanese Kanji and Kana characters. The information you want contained in your barcode will need to be translated to a suitable barcode format, like an alphanumeric string, for it to be properly read by scanners. You should have a general format in mind for how you will structure all barcodes for your particular purpose. Many different kinds of information can be included in your barcode, but generally this information pertains to: identification, tracking, and inventory. Consistent formatting will help make the translated information easier to read, and will make human processing of barcode information more efficient. "Alphanumeric" refers to a system that uses both letters and numbers. Now that you have your data properly organized, do an online search for a "String builder" for the barcode symbology you will be using. This will give you the converted text that you will need to use with a barcode font. For example, you might search, "barcode string builder code 128." Some symbologies may use other inputs than simple alphanumeric. Do an online search of your chosen symbology to find how to convert your data to a suitable barcode format. To have the text you've converted to show up properly as a barcode, you'll need to input your barcode string into your Word document in the font for your symbology. There are many online sources for fonts, some free and some for pay, which you can find by searching your symbology (e.g. Code 39 font). Always exercise caution when downloading anything from the Internet. There is always the risk that you may get a virus or some other kind of malware. Cut and paste your converted barcode string into your word document. Highlight this text, and then change the font to the appropriate barcode font and your barcode should appear.
Summary: Choose your barcode symbology. Choose your data to convert. Convert your data into proper barcode format with an online service. Download the right font for your barcode. Convert your barcode string into your word document.

Problem: Article: Getting together with a small group (2-4 people) can shed new light on your training regimen; new people offer new ways to move, different paths to take, and constructive criticism of your methods. Since you have already developed your own style, the ideas offered by new people can only expand your possibilities. Be sure that ideas are not stifled and no individual person sets the bar of what should work for everyone; this method works best as a creative discovery between friends. On the other hand, if you followed someone else's method from the beginning, you could be stuck with a style that does not actually make sense for you. Remember that while large gatherings have the potential to be an extension of the smaller training and discovery sessions, too often they devolve into a roaming herd that quickly grazes over obstacles while looking for the next big trick. Understanding Parkour through self discovery is the sure way to avoid falling victim to this personal experience, making a traceur and his Parkour unique. This option can be helpful to someone who doesn't know how to condition themselves or prevent injury; however, experimenting by yourself first is highly recommended. By entrusting your early development to a stranger, you run the risk of following a path that is completely wrong for you; a good coach will help you get started and drill you in the essential moves necessary to begin parkour and will also teach you how to stay safe. A good coach will set you down the path of discovery and help you form your own style, while a bad coach will set you down their own path. As Parkour gets more popular, an increasing number of people are trying to cash in as coaches. Be wary of anyone who doesn't offer their services for free, at least part of the time. A coach who is still connected to the community, through free outdoor training sessions , is a good bet.
Summary: Start to train with other people. Use training as a collaboration. Get a Parkour coach.
