Chapter 9:

Mastering forehand and backhand

These two strokes are essentially what make up the game of tennis, and once mastered adequately, the player will be able to initiate a fairly competitive and enjoyable game play.

The tennis forehand is the most basic and most used stroke for any tennis player. It is also the money making stroke for the professional player in the tennis circuit.

Not necessarily being the easiest of all strokes, it is however the among the more effectively ones that can earn the player a good amount of points.

Simply put, the left handed player would naturally step to the right and hit the ball from the left side of the body in a return stroke that the opponent serves towards the player’s body.

This movement would be duplicated but in an opposite motion if the player is right handed. Most players would prefer to use the forehand stroke than any other fundamental tennis stroke, as this would be the most natural body movement to meet an oncoming ball.

The tennis backhand is usually executed from the side opposite of the forehand stroke. Meaning if the player is right handed, the backhand stroke would be played from the left side of the body and if the player is left handed then the opposite motion would be used. Seemingly using the same concept, the strength and velocity of the ball in motion can be more powerful and harder to read by the opponent. Initially this particular stroke can present a lot of challenges, especially in ball placement within the opponent court area, however with practice, it is possible to master this stoke enough to give the player an advantage over the opponent, simply because of the unpredictability of the stroke outcome.

A lot of players enjoy using this particular stoke as an alternative to the mundane usual tennis return strokes. It creates just enough excitement to break the monotony of the game.

Chapter 6: The Dangers of not caring for Your Small Mammal Correctly

Synopsis

If you plan on getting a small mammal as a pet it is extremely important that you understand how crucial it is that you make sure that the pet is getting the proper care. Small mammals health can deteriorate quite quickly under bad circumstances so it is vital that you are constantly inspecting your pet for any signs of sickness.

No matter how small the mammal is that you are keeping for a pet, it is still a living creature and deserves to be cared for properly. Then following chapter will go over some of the negative consequences that can come from not properly taking care of your small mammal.

Be Aware of the Danger!

To start with, most of these mammals are very small in size as its title so aptly describes them; this is often the biggest problem when it comes to having these mammals as pets. Their small size often makes interaction with them rather difficult and stressful and most pet owners simply settle for observing them from outside the cages or housing facilities. It is often difficult to even pick up such pet for a quick cuddle as besides the obvious small size, these animals are also very good at scurrying off quickly or wriggling out of the human hand’s grasp.

Cleaning the housing for these pet can also be rather challenging and sometimes because it is considered a nuisance, some pet owner avoid doing it according to requirements. This will of course eventually affect the health of the small mammal pet and this will have even more unwanted negative connotations. The strong odors of the poop and urine of these pets can also be quite strong, and that is why there is a need to clean the housing accordingly to specific instructions provided by guides and other sources of information.

Giving these small mammal pets the correct foods and the ideal nutritional needs can also be a challenge. In most cases the pet would need fresh fruits and vegetables or grains and seeds of some sort. These should ideally never be left to rot in the housing as it would not only be unhealthy for the animal but would also be unhygienic. Overfeeding is also something to avoid as it will bring on the onset of obesity and other negative medical conditions.

These small animals are also not used to loud and bright places, thus the need to find cool, quiet and calm surroundings for their housing location.

Chapter 10: The Benefits of Maintaining A Healthy Weight

The benefits of maintaining a healthy weight are many. Not only it improves the quality of life, but also it boosts one’s quantity of life.

Here are the main benefits of maintaining a healthy weight:

Discomfort Relief

When someone has to carry extra pounds, their active lifestyle is also affected. Even losing 5-10% of your weight will aid in reducing various aches as well as pains that are associated with not being active.
The extra pounds of your body may cause more strains on the bones, muscles, and joints, which will cause them to function harder than normal just to move around. But, if your weight is less, your body will be able to work efficiently and will avoid damage, which can hinder a person to do his or her daily activities successfully.

Healthier Heart

If your weight is high, your heart might not be able to do its work effectively even if you are resting. However, if you maintain a healthy weight, the amount of blood that is going to various vital organs of the body will increase, which will also allow your heart to do its job efficiently.

Maintaining a healthy weight also decreases strains on the heart and reduces one’s risk of heart attack, angina, and high blood pressure.

Let’s face the facts here. Despite what the books and nutritionists say, most smoothies though tasty will never come close to a sugary soda or an ice cream milk shake. That’s the hard truth. It will be difficult to replace sodas with smoothies.

Initially, you may wish to slowly cut down on any sugary drinks you’re consuming and drink a smoothie every day. Over time, try and replace the sodas with the smoothies. It will take effort but if you approach it in a slow and steady manner, it can be done.

Do not go to extremes and immediately give up all the sodas for smoothies. You’ll just be putting pressure and stress on yourself. Now, not only are you trying to inculcate a good habit that is foreign to you but you’ve also given up a bad habit that brought you comfort despite being detrimental to your health.

This is just too much to cope with. You’re not in a race. Go slow and your compliance will be much higher. Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard.

If you’re trying to lose weight, you can try to replace one of your meals with a smoothie. The smoothie may not be as satisfying as a normal meal such as a plate of pasta or 3 slices of pizza, but it will be much better for your health.

Aim to do this just once a day till you’re comfortable with it. Then you may progress to reducing your meal portion sizes and even replacing 2 meals with smoothies. If you can do this, your fat will melt like butter and you will drop the pounds in no time at all.

If you’re a parent, you can start your child on smoothies while they are young. Most children do not like eating vegetable but will hastily gulp down a tall smoothie if it had apple juice in it. They will still be getting all the vegetable nutrients without you having to negotiate and debate with them at the dinner table.

While green smoothies are excellent for your health, occasionally you may wish to try other smoothies too. The rules are not set in stone and you’re not in a green smoothie prison. Though this book did focus solely on green smoothies, you can always give the rest a try, as long as you’re drinking 1 green smoothie daily.

Chapter 5: How to Create Great Stories That People Will Want to Follow

Now you know why Snapchat is important, how to use it as a marketer/en-trepreneur and how to find your way around and access the advanced fea-tures.

Now all that is left is to create a channel and to make sure that it’s great. This is important a) because you will be showing off your footage in order to attract followers in the first place and b) because you need to actually re-tain those followers once you’ve got them!

So how do you do this?

Making High Quality Snaps

One very important starting point is to make high quality snaps. It’s gener-ally best here to focus on videos more than photos, as you can say a lot more with videos and they look a lot better when you stitch them together into longer stories.

In order to make good videos then, you’re going to need a good quality cameraphone. And one of the very best places to start here is with the Note 5 (which may have been supplanted by the Note 6 by the time you read this). Why? Because not only to Samsung Galaxy phones have some of the very best cameras on the market – capable of up to 4K – but the Note also comes with the pen that will allow you to add detailed annotations and drawings that will really put your videos a step above.

You then need to think a little about your videography. Yes – even for something like Snapchat it pays to have something resembling a plan when you start rather than just blindly snapping everything you can. To that end, think about factors such as lighting. Where is the light coming from and where should you stand in relation to it? Having lighting coming from the side is ideal as it will cast shadows across your face in the right way. Avoid having light directly behind you which will create glare.
