Hi, my name is Tomoko Takahashi and I live in Osaka, Japan. I am blessed with a 4 year old daughter.
I started scrapbook in Mar. 2009 and I've loved it ever since. I love to use gentle colored paints and mists on my pages to create soft and feminine styles but I also love to use bold and vintage style every now and then. My inspiration comes from beautiful products and lovely pictures of my precious daughter. My style has been ever changing and I've been adventurous through my scrapbook life. But, I hope to find my own style someday by taking on all kinds of challenges.

The excitement around Christmas is palpable and everywhere I look Christmas celebrations are underway! The variety and number of Christmas jumpers that can be seen on a daily basis is awe inspiring in its self and reflects the cheerful atmosphere.
In every one of our homes Christmas celebrations are being organised and Ferndale has already hosted its Christmas dinner which was well received, whilst residents and individuals from Day Services held a carol service in Wookey. On Friday 14th Northcroft will be enjoying Christmas fayre in abundance and then on December 15th friends, families, residents and staff will come together for a whole trust celebration.
As well as joining together in celebration, there has been a lot going on at Orchard Vale Trust this month. The group who work in the garden have been busy making wooden reindeer of all sizes, whilst craft groups have been busy making a range of decorations. At the Orchard Café at Wynford House in Yeovil the services of Tony and his team have been in high demand with Christmas parties and the annual Somerset CCG Santa Run. We must say a massive thank you to everyone who took part in the Santa Run, Christopher Absolon our Chair of Trustees started the festive runners off, and the proceeds of the race have been kindly donated to Orchard Vale Trust.
The beautiful work that our craft groups produce is now on sale in the Emporium at Crispin Hall in Street, the items have proved very popular and we have had some lovely feedback from customers about the items they have bought.
So as the year draws to a close, we need to both look back and forward. In that spirit we will be saying a fond farewell to Lesley Kent, the manager of East Court, and thanking her for everything that she has done over the years to make East Court the wonderful place that it is. We also welcome Julie Lilly as the new manager of East Court and wish her well in her new role from January.
From everyone at Orchard Vale Trust, we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

petechia or the plural, petechiae: red or purple spots on the body caused by minor busted capillary blood vessels.
Basically it is bleeding under the skin, which in turn causes the skin to appear red or purple. It looks like a rash, but is flat to the touch and doesn't change color when your press on it. But don't freak out. It is usually not life threatening.
You know what I'm talking about now? So what causes it you ask?
But sometimes medicine can cause petechia.
There are times that petechia can be a sign of a larger illness, like leukemia or mononucleosis. If you develop widespread or unexplained petechia, it is time to see a doctor.
But unless you have some underlying problem, don't worry, petechia will go away in a couple of days. Leaving no traces behind.

For most of us, survival means following the rules. Rules set forth by people who came before us, who live around us, and a few rules thrown in by ourself as we develop our lives. As children when everything is new, and unknown, we roll into a delicious adventure of discovery which determines our development into adulthood. The adventure is delicious when the child feels safe, cared for and “knows” or experiences, that no harm comes to him or her. Tastes of new foods, while being able to come back to the trusted milk supply, sensual experiences of the skin, caused by touch, and temperature, as long as the child can come back to the safety of adequate warmth or coolness, and loving arms. As the child explores and finds out what hurts and what protects, the child learns rules of living. This process of learning turns more and more into an adopting of a set of rules to live by as adults, to be successful in survival and achieving happiness.
One of the rules of grown-up living is that you need a vacation on a regular basis. The yearly trek to some unknown - or known but different - place from our daily environment, is the continuation of exploration, it satisfies the curious factor in our beings.
Why do we want to change the rules we have adopted? Maybe it’s because the rules aren’t working for us anymore, they don’t let us survive in a way that makes us happy. If you were told as a young person, that your happiness depends on education, a good job, a loving partner, a family, you have a long road ahead of you to achieve all the parts of a good life by following all the rules involved in achieving this. The interesting thing is that after a while of having the “good” life, the restless self looks around driven by curiosity, to find something new, different, that gives new meaning to life. Travel, a new relationship, a new set of clothes, a new hobby, a new place to live, it’s endless what we may end up doing to change the rules we had adopted. For most of us the curiosity only goes so far, we only reach for the unknown as long as we can come back to the safety of survival, the caring of a relationship, the acceptance of the tribe we live with.
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Paul Salopek, http://www.outofedenwalk.com is taking a 7-year walk following the ancient paths of human migration and writing about people and their circumstances. What he is discovering so far (he is in his third year of walking) is that humans all want the same thing, a place of safety, a family or tribe to gather and enjoy a meal with. Survival is the foremost driving force of human actions, the rule so to speak for living. The question if there is more to life than survival, if there is a hidden rule that life on earth has a meaning, a purpose beyond survival, is the question that drives people like Salopek, me, and maybe you the reader, to travel, explore, to change your clothing style, your home decor, the club you belong to, your religion.
By not following the rules you have been living by, you can deepen the meaning of your life, or at least inject new fascination with living. So have a cup of warm water with lemon instead of your daily morning coffee, or vice versa and see if life takes on new meaning.

Is what I said leaving the dressing room after trying these .99 shorts on!
It was Wednesday, and in my area that means the glorious color of the week is only .99, (as well as on Sunday) whatever the item, and these shorts were indeed the color of the week, red.
I also found this great blouse by for $4.49. What a price. I love flowers. I love blouses. This shirt has both. Or is both…one of the two. Or both of the two. I’m done now.
Lastly, that day I purchased a comfortable cotton long sleeve purple heavy tee, new from Target, also for $4.49.
Can’t wait to lounge around in this.
At $8 this purse by Mossimo isn’t outrageously priced, but I don’t need one, and am really looking to down size my purse wearing anyway, and this doesn’t really support that goal, as pretty as it is. I do love the scoop pocket style.
This clutch/wallet would support the smaller theme, but I am looking for one with straps. No one needs to be walking around holding something, that/s just annoying.
For now I will just stare and pine…and be fine with the lovely purse I currently have from Goodwill that I get oh so many compliments on. It will do for now. This is what I mean by grown up reasons. That is such a responsible grown up thing to say, wouldn’t you agree?
This is a Gap XS…go figure that one. I have never been accused of being an XS, even when I was like 10 years old..:) I understand it’s not supposed to be a tight fitting shirt…but its not tight on me, fits perfectly loose, and the shoulders should not fit on me if it was a true XS. But I’m not complaining or aguing, it fits and I like it. And I’ll wear it to have Mexican and $3 Margaritas any day of the week.
This is all I have for now…stay tuned for a furniture post! I have recently moved, and found several great finds for my new place at two area Goodwills! Couldn’t be happier with them, and I will share them next!

Today, businesses must work harder than ever to protect personal information, since it gets more and more difficult to stay up-to-date on changes in IP law.
Considering social media, it is e.g. crucial for bloggers to avoid copyright, trademark and libel issues and it requires from them to get a license or find public domain images before using an image from the internet. Social media users must stay vigilant to keep track of possible violations not to risk getting into trouble, since the platforms, like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, do not take care of the issue.
The social media sites do not own the work that has been posted on their site and the copyright is still with the blogger. But by agreeing to post works on the site, users sign an agreement that gives the social media platform a license to use the work -without payment – and it is a fact that they generally allow online posting of material that may be copyrighted.
Facebook’s terms state that you user own all of the content a information posted on Facebook and can control how it is shared through the privacy and application settings. In addition, for content protected by intellectual property rights, users grant Facebook a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content the user posted on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). When users leave Facebook, all content is said to be deleted.
Twitter’s terms are kind of similar, stating that by submitting, posting or displaying content on or through the services of Twitter, you grant Twitter a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute such content in any and all media or distribution methods. In other words, Twitter users grant Twitter a license to make Tweets available to other Twitter users.
Obviously, social media platforms put their users in charge of the responsibilities, a fact that is partly spurring the dispute that’s going on right now among EU states over a copyright reform. The goal of the reform is a European-wide equal copyright that should be adapted to the digital age. The new law intends to make online platforms such as YouTube, Facebook & Co liable if users violate copyright laws, for instance, publish protected works without permission.
In the months-long dispute over the EU reform, the main question was how the platforms should detect infringements. Critics are now afraid that so-called upload filters, in other words automatic checking mechanisms, could be used, which scan all contents prior to their publication on possible copyright infringements. From the perspective of the critics, this kind of control threatens a possible restriction of freedom of expression in the internet.
Another issue is the ancillary copyright for press publishers. If it comes into force, Internet services such as Google News or Twitter should seek the permission of publishers to distribute headlines and small sections of press articles. Eventually, the Internet portals would even have to pay for the use. Such an assignation would certainly be welcomed by newspaper and magazine publishers, since the EU's "compromise" offered a unique opportunity for robust protection of press releases in the digital world and could create more balance between the powerful commercial Internet giants and the free press.
The text adopted by the European Parliament provides an excellent basis, but it still needs to be confirmed by the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers. The outcome of the negotiation on so-called text-and-data-mining is appreciated, since in addition to science and research, the economy is also exempted from the prior permission of a copyright holder. Thus, the EU creates legal certainty and paves the way for innovations in the area of artificial intelligence (AI).
Finally, the downside of the upload filter option must be considered as well: European startups will find it definitely much harder to build new communication platforms with user-generated content, and the negotiated compromise for SMEs does de facto not provide protection. Even the agreed ancillary copyright for press publishers could be viewed as counterproductive and not lead to an improvement in media quality. On the contrary, the diversity of the press on the Internet could noticeably decrease.
Anyway, the pressure from EU legislation showed already some results in the previous months: Facebook, for instance, has since tightened its policies regarding the information developers and third parties can access, making it clear that third parties are prohibited from selling and sharing data with others. But the question now is about information shared by users through the Facebook site? Should Facebook be allowed to utilize such information when selling advertising and selecting consumers to target with sold advertising? Are consumers knowingly allowing Facebook to use their information in connection with advertising?
There are still many questions and concerns unanswered and we can just start working on finding fair solutions for each party. We can only emphasize that users of social media sites should carefully read the terms of service, since you grant social media site a license to use the content and for others to view it.

So the blogosphere en masse is linking to Andy Kessler's article about his path from self publication to big five success, saying that "in the age of digital page layout and Web marketing, you can do it yourself," he concludes. "Quick to market will eventually change the big guys." Laila touches upon my biggest beef with Kessler's reasoning, but I'll go further: sorry, Andy, the world, and certainly the publishing industry, can't move as fast as you'd like it to.
It ties in with my earlier rant today about getting the right people for the right job. Sure, you can dash something off quickly, slap a cover on, print it with the best quality paper and self-publish, making it available at Amazon. But then what? Will regular bookstores stock it? Will distributors? If folks like Baker & Taylor or Ingram won't carry the book, forget about wider distribution. Forget about walking into your local bookstore and finding said book, because it won't be there. Publishers have to start within their own company, making sure that sales reps, publicists, cover artists, designers, editors, assistants work together and find a slot where, ideally, the book will most benefit from and will find its widest audience. And Kessler also had the following to benefit from: sending out "copies to friends and old contacts at newspapers, business magazines and TV, like CNBC." So once again, the contacts game was in his favor. Not everyone has such a network in place, though. So then what?
And one thing else to consider is that publishing lines only publish a finite number of books. They don't want to flood the market and start over-competing with other books. So why the "delay" in publication? Beacuse that's the only slot the book can get and get the maximum attention. Should it change? Sure, but I don't see it happening now, and I certainly don't see it happening eventually.

1. Provided will be using a ZRanger module, is there a way to hardcode height hold mode in the crazyflie firmware so that whenever we power ON the crazyflie, it starts hovering automatically in height hold mode. If yes, can you please tell me the package where we can actually hard code this mode?
2. Where exactly in the crazyflie's firmware, the default height of height hold mode is stored?
Using Z-ranger the Crazyflie will drift away in X-Y so you have to be a bit careful with the fully autonomous functionalities.
1. Yes it is possible. You need to call the commanderSetSetpoint function with the setpoint you want: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-f ... nder.h#L46. The priority parameter allows to set if the setpoint can be overwritten by setpoints received via the radio.
2. The default height when flying from the Crazyflie client is not defined in the firmware, it is set from within the client.
I am trying not to make too many assumption. For me to be more precise you need to tell a bit more what is your end goal. Do you want to completely disable the radio setpoint or do you just want to set the height and send only roll pitch by radio? Do you want to implement more complex autonomous behavior or just set the height?
Thanks for the reply arnaud!
My main goal is to set some default (example something like 1m well measurable by the ZRanger module) height of the quad and then just to send the ROLL, YAW and PITCH commands from the client (from android client specifically via BLE). Thus we want the quad to by default start hovering at some specific height, so the pilot do not need to bother about setting and holding the thrust all the time and so that he can just maneuver the quad with ROLL/YAW/PITCH commands.
1. Thus I also was curious to know about like how exactly to command the quad to start hovering at that set DEFAULT HEIGHT. From the function crtpCommanderRpytDecodeSetpoint(), it looks to me like we have to give some thrust value to set the default height. Is it true? and then set thrustLocked = true or something.
Can you tell me a little about these? like where exactly these things are set in the crazyflie firmware (I believe these come from the clients like when from the drop down menu you select the flight mode)? and do I need to bother setting these when hardcoding HEIGHT HOLD mode?
3. Can you also tell me a little about the three priority modes that we have declared - COMMANDER_PRIORITY_DISABLE, COMMANDER_PRIORITY_CRTP, and OMMANDER_PRIORITY_EXTRX?
Thanks for describing your high-level goal, it makes it much easier for me to help you .
There is no such things as default height defined in the firmware. All setpoint are currently sent from the ground.
1. This variable implements a trust lock to avoid having the crazyflie jumping uppon connection if your gamepad is lock to max thrust (this can happen with PS3 gamepads before pressing the PS button ...).
2. These variables are used to pass X/Y/Z position setpoint in the roll/pitch/yaw commander packet. This was a hack and you should certainly not use that anymore (see bellow).
3. The priorities allows to have multiple setpoint source enabled but not affecting each other. The highest priority will set the setpoint, if no setpoint is sent for one second, a lower priority source can take over. This can be useful to implement an internal sequencer but keep a way to take over from the ground. Though this is a hard switch: there is no mixing between source, it is one or another.
4. This piece of code will set the Z controller in velocity mode, the Z velocity is "setpoint->velocity.z" in m/s. As said earlier, this is a hack to pass position or velocity data in a roll/pitch/yaw/thrust packet. This should be considered legacy code.
Now for the better way: there is now a 'generic' commander packet that is aimed at sending setpoints in there original unit without having to hack around with parameter and roll/pitch/yaw packets. It is implemented there: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-f ... _generic.c. You can try to find a packet that fits your needs or create a new one.
From your description, I think the packet you need is zDistance: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-f ... #L113-L144. It is used in the client for height-hold mode. It will allow you to send an absolute height (ie. 1 meter) and send the roll/pitch/yaw setpoints from the user.
If you want an example on how to send the packet from Android, you can look at this pull request: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-a ... nt/pull/67. It is an implementation of altitude hold for the andoid client, it is using a generic commander packet already and it should be fairly easy to modify it to send a zDistance packet instead: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-a ... 6918bdR776.
Any news on this project, have you managed to control the Crazyflie the way you wanted?
How exactly should I proceed making these changes in the mobile platform? I was trying to make the drone 'hover' when controlling it through mobile app, and did not find a good way to do so; is there an existing code you know that could do so? If not, where should I start? I tried to look over the links given, but I did not quite understand what I had to do with those. I also visited several forums online but they are either specific to PC client or are written for very high-level programmers whose language I don't understand. It would be great if you could tell me in simpler terms what I should do, in some ways I can understand as a beginner.
To be specific, I was trying to use the z-sensor to keep the drone at a fixed height. I am not sure what changes to make in which files for the android client to successfully do so.
My main high level goal is very similar to that of abhishekkumar1902. Using the android client via BLE connection, we'd like to have a GUI toggle button on the android client that makes the Crazyflie hover at a set height with the help of the z-ranger.
I have been trying to modify the implementation of altitude hold for the android client from the pull request you linked to, but the GUI button that is appearing on the android client is unresponsive. I have tried modifying the pull request example with the zDistance packet, but the GUI hover button is still unresponsive. I think part of the problem is that I also want to circumvent the need/safety measure of the gamepad controller and crazy-radio dongle and only use BLE connection. If you could elaborate on how to modify the Atlhold pull request with the zDistance packet that would be great to help me move forward with my project! If you have any other suggestions or need more clarification please let me know and I'd be happy to elaborate!
Thank you in advance! I appreciate your time and expertise.
Since these message, there is zranger support implemented in the client: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-a ... 529ea48bf9. It is only working using Crazyradio and a Gamepad but it is working (just tested it).You should be able to force it to work with BLE by altering the checks and it should work with BLE and gamepad. If it works the only things left will be to add GUI control for it.

As Melissa describes in this video, the average person sweats up to half a pint every night. Add in the 1.6 pounds of skin that individuals shed every year, and your mattress is already battling quite a build-up. Combined with spills, accidents, pet wear and tear and more, the mattress is one heck of a dirty area – yet most of us lay down each night without giving it a second thought. That is, until we learned about all of this!
If you’re like me, you won’t be able to sleep tonight until you freshen up your space. While it seems like it would be a big job, Melissa has some tricks that get it done is a flash. In fact, it might even take you longer to watch the video than to clean your mattress! Although baking soda is a prime ingredient in this method, baby powder can also be substituted for a soothing scent that kids and adults will love. Anyone else feeling a bit sleepy?

A series of combos and boxing techniques to help you setup your left hook. Many boxers know how to throw a great left hook but for some reason never learned how to set it up. Read on to learn how throw dangerous left hooks without getting countered.
Below are a list of boxing tricks and punch combinations for you to try. They’re all ring-tested for maximum assurance. Practice on the bag to get the rhythm and then slow-spar in the ring to get use to throwing them in an effective rhythm. Some fighters like to throw on a perfect beat while other boxers like to fight on an offbeat to catch their opponent when they least expect it. Either way try everything below and let me know what worked for you! Good luck!
Jab first, then slip left outside of the opponent’s right hand counter, and throw a hard left hook to the body or the head.
If you’re being chased, just reverse the last combo: do a retreating jab (like a jab with a backstep instead of a frontstep), and then step and slip left, and then throw a counter left hook to his head or body.
Throw a left hook after any right uppercut. The right uppercut picks up his head, the left hook knocks it sideways.
Throw 2 left hooks. Throw a quick light one to the body, and then throw a big one upstairs. The first one could even be just a fake or just barely touch his elbow. Or you can also try a left hook and then do the 1st combo listed above.
When you are being overwhelmed along the ropes or your opponent is overly aggressive, you can bend at the waist and lean down so that your head is pointed somewhat in his direction and then using your back as a spring, you quickly pop up and throwing a lunging left hook. This is a great knockout counter. Be careful that you don’t get countered yourself.
Use angles. A left hook doesn’t always have to be parallel to the ground. Throw it at a weird diagonal angle so it’s kind of a left hook but also kind of an uppercut.
Don’t always aim for the head and ribs, try the solar plexus or the chest. If your opponent moves a lot, aim for his shoulders or his fist if he likes to duck forward a lot.
Aim for the other boxer’s gloves. A left hook is dangerous and the damage can be felt through the gloves. You might even be able to make him stab himself in the eye with his own glove and give you more time to punch him.
Many people don’t throw the left hook because they are afraid of getting countered by the right hand. If you ever want to become a great boxer, you must be able to do what I like to call “Overcoming the Left-Hook Right-Cross Stalemate”. There are several ways to throw a left hook without getting countered.
The easiest way to throw a left hook without getting countered is to throw it shorter to stop it from over-rotating. Too many boxers like to throw a left hook that goes “through” their opponent. What happens is that if they miss, they over-rotate their body and leave themselves open to a counter. What you do instead is just stop the hook at where it would have stopped anyway. This also makes for snappier left hooks but we’ll leave that for another article.
The next way to throw a left hook without getting countered is to learn how to throwing a pivoting left hook. In other words, your feet do not stay in one place when you throw that left hook. Instead, your body turns clockwise as your spin on your left foot. Your right foot is sweeping behind you as your whole body turns with the hook. What this does is allow you to left hook your opponent but if he throws the right hand at you, it will pass right through you. What many fighters will do is throw a hard left hook to the body and then throw a pivoting left hook to the head so that they’re safe from their opponent’s counters.
Watch Miguel Cotto! Study his fights and see how he manages to get away throwing multiple left hooks without getting countered! Copy his foot movement, timing, and overall body movement.
hey i emailed you earlier.I realy like the idea of whipping the punch since im south paw and it will give it more range.Also becouse it doesn’t rotate my body as much,which then brings me to the pivot left hook.Will it work if its being thrown from a south paw position?
The pivot left hook is definitely meant for a right-hander. If you are a southpaw what you can do instead is step to your left as you slap down your opponent’s right-hand punch and then throw a left hook or even a straight left.
In order, it’s a quick step to the left as you slap away his punch with your left hand. As soon as your left foot hits the ground, you anchored it and throw a big left hand counter-punch. Let me know how that feels. It should feel smooth.
Im having trouble with the left hook becouse my left hand is still a bit too weak for my liking.Is being a right handed south paw a good idea?would you recomend it?everyone i run into doesn’t seem to think so but it feels natural to me.
Ive been meaning to ask you where i can post my questions on how to improve peripheral vision cos i find that im very vulnerable to the left hook coming from the blind side,ivfe heard thet playing video games helps.
Forget about the guides and rules. Rules should be used as guides to help you reach maximum results. If you perform better in a way that goes against the rules, go ahead and use it. As for being a right-handed southpaw, that’s the same as the common practice of left-handed orthodox fighters – like Oscar De La Hoya is a converted left hander. The advantages are that you’ll have a big left hook (or in your case, a big right hook) and also a very powerful jab. For many people, the “weak” hand is still very useful since it has less muscle and moves faster. In any case, use what works and feels the best and forget about what other boxers tell you.
Peripheral vision in boxing has to do with a form of trained reflexes. While playing video games improve your response time, it won’t help your peripheral vision. If anything, video games will train your eye to become even more lazier since you’re always looking in the same spot.
The best way for you to overcome your “slow peripheral vision” is to slow-spar. Ask your opponent to move slower to the point where you can train your eye to see the left hooks coming. Once you feel comfortable at the slow speed, start picking up the pace and box at higher speeds. You should stop and slow down if you find yourself getting hit by them again. Practice makes perfect – good luck!
Dude you should really tell me where to post my questions cause i got lots.
Id like to know when it is a good idea to go for the body and how do you fight a south american style boxer.I live in south africa and whenever a south american fighter comes here he’s always a handfull for our local boxers cause they always come forward with a square stance and seem to be invulnerable to body shots.
Very nice information. I have just began training, but I’ve always noticed even since street fights my left hook is very powerful, considering I snapped my left arm clean inhalf when I was a child, and ever since then it’s been my weakest hand. I am a righty so I stand orthodox, but I also like to use my right hand as a jab so I switch to southpaw sometimes.
I like the info on the different types of hooks, and I will practice them.
Where should I throw most of my left hooks? Wheres the most effectiveness? Face or body?
I tend to work the body more than the head but I’ve learned to mix it up more. I just breathe the philosophy, destroy the body and the head dies with it.
um so I have a question….. u know how u say that we shouldn’t “punch through” the target. well I have saw video of freddie roach coaching pro boxers and he teaches them to punch through the target. He tells them to follow through with the elbow when throwing a hook.
@Anonymous – great question! I have a guide (coming soon) explaining this in full detail but here is the short answer: you want to punch THROUGH the surface of the target but not let yourself over-swing. The moment you know your punch has penetrated, you should prepare for the next punch. If you’re throwing a double hook, then you’ll have to stop it early. If you’re throwing a right cross next, then perhaps swinging it through will load up your right hand. One of my trainers also taught me to throw the boomerang hook. When you swing the hook out, let it swing all the way but once it passes the target, you begin to close your arm so that the hand returns back to your chin (like a boomerang). This way, the hand is still swinging through the target but also returning back to you.
Now I have a question about your article on the perfect stance.
In the stance that u showed as being the good one (the first one), is the distance between your toes the same as the distance between your heels? In other words, are the feet parallel? It doesn’t seem like it and I don’t think it should be parallel but I wanted to make sure.
And also another thing is that, the last stance shown on your article is what I feel like I see most fighters using. Or am I wrong?
@Anonymous – you’re correct. The feet are not perfectly parallel. Now this is going to be a very small nitpicky detail but I will explain it if you care to know. The feet may or may not be parallel. If your feet is parallel, it will be for smoother footwork movement, IMO. If the toes are spread wider, that will allow the right foot more room to pivot into a stronger right cross. If the toes are pinched inwards more, that allows the body a more defensive wobble. Bernard Hopkins is a big fan of pointing the toes a little more inwards, he’s a big fan of turning the knees inwards and “protecting your balls”. I do agree with him to some point. Pinching the toes inwards compacts your stance and points your leg strength inwards into each other for more support instead of outwards where you might be more easily pushed off balance. It’s hard to explain but you’ll just have to use whatever feels best for you.
The wide stance is definitely more commonly used. And I would advise you not to pay attention to those guys. The wide stance is for the athletic guys that always jump around. Ignore them. Watch the boxers with great footwork like De La Hoya, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Hopkins. Etc. You will see that their feet are under them more and not spread out so wide. It takes a bit of practice but will help you in mobility.
@Johnny N – so for an orthodox stance the front left foot should not be pointed straight ahead but a little to the right? and by widening the stance do u meaning stepping your feet out farther from each other or pointing your toes outward away from each other?
@Anonymous – the left foot should be pointed slightly to the right. This way you can step the left foot forward quickly without striking your heel against the ground. And by “widening the stance”, I meant that your feet are stepped out further from each other.
@Johnny N – I know u said in your article abut the perfect stance that widening the stance doesn’t give u balance but is it really so? I mean I know exaggerating your stance to much is bad but generally isn’t it that the closer the feet the less the balance? like if my feet are closer than shoulder width, it will be like a upside down pyramid where the base is smaller or closer together than the top, which would be bad for balance. but if my feet are wider, then it will be like a normal pyramid where the base is big and the weight on top is supported and is within the area of the base. aren’t those the reason why when stepping front u move your front feet out/wide first and then drag the back foot in and the opposite when moving back, so that your feet are never close together than like shoulder width?
or is it that balance is at peak when the feet are shoulder width apart and balance starts decreasing as we go wider or closer?
and btw whats wrong with the heel hitting the ground? bad for the knees?
@Anonymous – definitely your feet should not be closer than shoulder width. The perfect width is about slightly wider than shoulder width. While it’s true that spreading your feet much wider can give you a better base but it will affect your mobility.
There’s nothing wrong with the heel hitting the ground, many karate practitioners stand with their front foot facing forward. My opinion about facing the front foot straight forward is that it makes your body more square with your opponent as you move around. It also makes your heel strike the ground which slows down the speed at which you can move forward. You will have to experiment moving forwards and backwards and you will see what I mean.
@Johnny N – ok now that I think more about it, I think you’re right.
Now about lateral or side to side balance and mobility. When I use the “good stance” from your article it feels like I have less lateral balance and slower lateral mobility than maybe I am trying to get. It seems to me that using the third stance (too square) in your perfect stance article gives the most lateral balance and mobility, but I understand that it will make me more square and a larger target area for my opponent. and also, I agree that using that stance, it is a little slower moving front and back. So is there a way to improve lateral balance and mobility without sacrificing balance and mobility front and back or being too square?
reason I want to improve lateral balance and mobility is b/c it seems that a left hook is the most likely punch to push me off balance when using the good stance (btw I use orthodox stance). and also it is hardest to regain balance when I lose balance to the left side (my body leaning to the left). idk if I explained it properly. I think it is because since both my heels are pointing more to the left than right and the toes pointing more to the right. so like if I a lean to the right I can push off my right toe and regain balance but if I lean to the left there is only the heels to push off and I don’t that is effective. if I push off my toes when leaning left it will only push me more left. so only way to regain balance on left side is to step out left and sometimes a few steps to fully get balance if I get knocked off balance badly, like even if the left hook lands on my arm or glove and my opponent is powerful I can be pushed to the left and if I don’t step out quick I will lose my balance and will stagger a bit before I regain balance. so how can I fix that?
@Anonymous – I think you have to check and see if you’re standing up straight. Also when you punch, make sure you drop your body weight down and not swing your upper body forward into the punch. Your knees should always be slightly bent when you’re standing. It also seems to me like you might be standing with too much weight on your left leg. Try putting more weight onto your back leg and moving around to see if that fixes it.
@Anonymous – OOOHHHHHH ok. Sorry for misunderstanding. What you should do is drop your weight (slightly relaxing & bending the knees) as you block the left hook. It may also help to roll your upperbody slightly to the left as you roll with the left hook.
I’m a new boxer n I’m having trouble with my left strikes. Hw 2 make it better??????
i love the hook, it can be SO versatile. ortho to ortho, your left hook can be your jab, your body breaker, your one shot KO your combo KO or your accumlation KO. even if its not clean it creates chances. and new guys arent told that in the gyms at least in my days. im glad the internet is there for your newbies with people like you coach. thumbs up.
now you wrote everything great in the article, but boxers, if you got a good left hook, opponents will NOT give you once you have a name. this doesnt happen with jabs, or crosses or uppercuts or overhand rights. but theres a special set of moves boxers use to escape the left hook.
my comment is about how to counter the defensive stance taken against hook specialists.
4 things kill your chance to throw a hook: a guy always thinking about it, that bloody right glove (i love southpaws) stuck to the chin, a fighter moving to the right and someone who doesnt want to throw their cross. so setting it up means finding a way to not make them think about the hook, to get them to stop move for a second to the right, to get that right glove down. actually that 3rd one includes getting the glove down. bobbers dont escape the set-up left hook.
if you want the left hook, you gotta work for it. unless the opponent is a moron and a hands down fighter or crab who isnt roy jones or floyd. so jab with the step in, and fake fake fake. i say keep them busy with the fakes so they HAVE to stop thinking left hook. i know many dont have power but everyone can learn to feint. fake up go down. fake up go up. fake up go down with a hook. mixed in with jabs, if you land a few, you got a guy constantly thinking which of the 5 is he gonna do ? get him to try and beat you to the punch to try and throw over your jab. you got his right hand down moving now. the pivot jab will stop boxers thinking then can just keep going to your right. and you got body shots going which means he needs to defend down as well as up.
@cozy – are you having problems throwing them with good techniques? Or problems landing them in real combat?
@saber khan – once again, real advice from a true competitor.
What about a hook by putting the left arm like a right angle and quickly striking with the hips? is that another way to throw a hook? and is the lunge hook the same as a lead left hook?
Hooks are usually thrown with the left arm at a right angle or as close to a right angle as possible. What’s most important is that you hit your opponent with a solid punch. There are so many ways to throw a hook that I couldn’t define outright the different between a lead left hook and a lunging left hook. Both could be the same thing depending on how you throw it.
a little addendum J-just checked and on most forums theyre calling every single lunge hook a lead left hook. one can do a lead left going forwards, standing their ground or going backwards (if its the first punch its called the lead hook). the lunging hook means youre back foot has to move forward to punch and you either land on the front foot or turn southpaw due to the turning effect.
hi johnny, how I can strengthen my left hook?
hey johnny i got a problem. Whenever i hit a 1-2-3 combo the 1-2 land but my opponent keeps stepping backward and out of range for my left hook. He is constantly moving all the time so cant hit him with a left hook and if i lunge in for the left hook he always counters it so that is also not an option. Do u have any advice about what i should do?
C’mon now. You can’t treat your opponent like a heavy bag. Different guys are vulnerable to different combos. If your 1-2 lands, try doing a 1-2-1. Or 1-2-1-2b. Or get closer before you throw punches. My advice for you is to stop trying to do something that doesn’t work. Guys that constantly move backwards are not easy to hit with short punches like hooks.

Throwing knives at your HSC project and then dunking it in the pool isn't the usual way of checking for success, but it was a big part of Tom Denby's major work.
The 17-year-old set out in year 11 to build a wetsuit that could protect scuba divers from shark bites as part of the accelerated Design and Technology class at Mosman High School.
The finished product has four sleeves that go over both arms and legs, is made of aramid fabric and metal mesh wire and has been coated in black and white rubber spray to repel sharks.
"One part of my evaluation was cutting it with different blades," Tom said.
"I used a sharp pointed knife and a serrated saw-like blade because I wanted to mimic the initial bite and then the sawing motion of the teeth.
"The pointed knife didn't get through. The serrated blade made a few tears in the first layer of aramid fabric but didn't get through the mesh wire and the second layer of aramid.
"The other aspect of the evaluation was testing it in water. I made it for my own body measurements and went into my pool to see whether I could move around and I was pleased with it because it was really light in the water, which is a massive requirement because you don't want to sink down."
Tom said he has encountered small reef sharks during dives but has seen some larger sharks while surfing.
"I haven't done a proper dive since I made it but it's definitely possible, I might wear it," Tom said.
The teenager is finishing his remaining HSC subjects, including art, maths, ancient and extension history and business.
The wetsuit is one of nearly 500 HSC works that will be displayed at the Art Gallery of NSW, Powerhouse Museum and State Library as part of HSC showcases and performance pieces can be seen at the Sydney Opera House and the Seymour Centre over the coming months.
Other projects include a photomedia project shaped by the student's macular dystrophy, a dress design inspired by Celtic mythology and a performance piece that involves the student squeezing himself into a suitcase.
These works have been selected from more than 30,000 projects that were completed as part of last year's exams.
"I would not be surprised to see another young Rose Byrne or Ben Quilty, who’ve both featured in a showcase, emerge from this year’s group of talented performers and exhibitors," said David de Carvalho, chief executive of the NSW Education Standards Authority, which runs the HSC.
Owen Sloggett, 18, who did dance as part of his HSC at Engadine High School last year, will be performing his contemporary dance piece at the Art Gallery and Seymour Centre throughout the week.
"It's about wanting to reach an end goal and for me, that was wanting to complete the HSC," he said.
"The sequencing and the piecing together of the work all show the frustration and determination to reach the end."
Owen said being given the chance to perform the piece "is pretty phenomenal".
"I remember seeing my first musical, Wicked, when I was 10, and the atmosphere with seeing everyone singing and dancing and creating something for us was incredible, I'd love to create something like that for people one day," he said.
Owen will begin full-time dance training at Ev & Bow next week.

BOSTON (AP) – Corey Raji had a pair of timely baskets to finish with 22 points and nine rebounds, helping Boston College recover from a tough home loss three days earlier with an 86-75 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday.
Reggie Jackson led Boston College (12-4, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) with 25 points on 8 of 9 shooting despite late foul trouble. Biko Paris had 11 points and seven assists.
Kammeon Holsey led the Yellow Jackets (7-7, 0-1) with 18 points, Iman Shumpert had 15 and Mfon Udofia 14.
Georgia Tech led 43-41 less than a minute into the second half, but BC scored 16 of the ensuing 20 points, taking a 57-47 advantage on Danny Rubin’s 3 from the top of the key with just over 16 minutes to play.
The Eagles maintained a comfortable lead until the Yellow Jackets slowly climbed back with a 10-2 run over a 4 1/2 minute stretch, closing it to 70-67 on Holsey’s turnaround in the lane.
Raji’s putback pushed the lead up to five points and his turnaround bank shot in the lane gave BC a 76-69 advantage with 1:38 to play.

1) Hydrate with room-temperature beverages: Although many of us find a cold or iced drink more refreshing, warm or room temperature drinks are better because they keep our internal body temperature omptimal.
2) Match your drink to the duration of your activity: If you're exercising for up to 1 hour, you can rehydrate with water alone. However, after an hour, add electrolytes and carbohydrates. If you're doing a sport at higher altitudes, increase your fluid requirements.
3) Replace what you lose: Water exits the body through exhalation, perspiration and urination. If your urine is pale and plentiful, you're well-hydrated. If it's dark and scant in volume, you need to drink more liquids. Finally, connected to the winter hydration, you can reduce your body temperature and force your heart to work harder to maintain blood flow and body temperature wearing layers of clothing that will absorb perspiration.

Today the stars favor that you judge people by their looks and not by what they really are inside.
You may think that it's ok to do it only today and that if you take care of your looks, you have the right to expect the same from others.
However, because you don't like the way someone looks, you can end up losing a lot of good people from your life.
In the same way, those Cancer who are in a relationship will be more concerned about their partner's clothing than other aspects that are more important.
Try to control your mind and your impulses, and make an effort to see the soul of the people around you, because that is the only thing that matters in the end.
Those Cancers that are used to team-work will realize that there is a negative atmosphere and that some points of view will collide.
Some tensions will solve, but that doesn't mind that you can stop worrying about the future and your economic situation.
In those situations don't try to take the lead. Just say your opinion whenever you are asked to.
Your health is not at its best this today, as you may know. The thing is that you don't really know what is wrong.
It seems as if your stomach, your head, and your legs are losing energy every time more and more, making you feel weird with your own body.
What if it is not that bad and the only thing you need is that someone listens to your everyday-life problems?
Saying out loud all the stuff that you are keeping to yourself will help your mind relax, and you will be able to connect with the universe and its energy, and therefore get good vibes from the cosmos.
Look for your best friend in times of need, tell him/her what worries you have in mind and you will feel the freedom running through your body.
And when you get home, burn some incense or rosemary to keep away those bad vibes that might still be around.

Things weren't supposed to go down like this.
When the Huskies opened the season as the No. 6 team in the country, they looked like a squad primed for a run to the College Football Playoff. All the pieces were there – a veteran quarterback and running back, a talented and disciplined defensive unit and a savvy head coach.
Hell, the Dawgs even had a week one matchup with No. 9 Auburn to make the whole CFB world aware of their presence.
Even after losing that one, their playoff hopes weren't dashed. Sure, losing your season opener was rough. But the Huskies played a close game in front of what was, for all intents and purposes, a home crowd for the Tigers. Besides, they'd have a chance to beat ranked conference opponents later on.
Fast forward to now, and it seems like everything that could've gone wrong for Washington did. Stanford and Auburn each dropped two straight games and fell out of the rankings. BYU, who were No. 20 when the Huskies beat them, did the same. Suddenly, the Huskies had both a positive win and forgivable loss wiped out, and lost what would've been a chance for another ranked win.
None of that, however, compares to what happened on Saturday.
After beating their hated rivals in green and yellow by a combined score of 108-24 over the last two years, the Huskies couldn't get it done in Eugene on Saturday. Even though they only lost by three, it's tough to find much of a silver lining for the Dawgs.
Things got off to a bad start, with senior quarterback Jake Browning tossing an interception on the Huskies' second play from scrimmage. The vaunted Washington defense held the Ducks to a field goal however, and the teams settled into a back-and-forth that would last for the rest of the game. The balance was a far cry from the annihilations both fanbases had grown accustomed to, making for easily the most competitive game the series had seen in some time.
Washington's defense was able to contain Oregon's star tandem of quarterback Justin Herbert and wide receiver Dillon Mitchell for much of the first half but wasn't able to keep the shutdown going: Mitchell finished the game with eight catches for 119 yards and a touchdown.
For the Husky offense, Browning struggled to find his go-to guys in Ty Jones and Aaron Fuller, but had success targeting tight end Drew Sample. The rushing attack generated 196 yards and a pair of scores.
Much of the pain of the loss has to stem from what can only be described as poor late-game decision making from Petersen.
With the game knotted up at 24 and five minutes to play, the Huskies started driving from their own eight. The running game kicked in, and Browning went 4/4 while leading his team down to the Oregon 20 with 40 seconds left and a pair of timeouts.
Rather than letting his offense continue to work, Petersen allowed the clock to tick down to three seconds before calling time and sending his kicker – redshirt freshman Peyton Henry – onto the field to go win the game.
Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal iced him twice, and Henry missed the 37-yarder wide right to send the game into overtime.
Browning got the Huskies down to Oregon's three-yard line on the first OT possession, but the drive stalled out and the team had to settle for three points. While it was better than nothing, the field goal gave Oregon the chance to end the game on the next possession.
Things started off well for the Dawgs, and they looked poised for force Oregon to kick when they stopped Verdell on a third down run that also drew a holding flag on the Ducks. Instead of declining the penalty and forcing Oregon to either kick or go for it on fourth, Petersen accepted and gave the Ducks a redo on third down, albeit from 10 yards back.
Herbert connected with Mitchell for 17 yards on the next play, and the Ducks punched it in with Verdell shortly after.
To be clear, the Huskies had two big things working against them. First, they lost their top two tailbacks in Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed to injury. Second, the Dawgs were playing their second consecutive road game, while the Ducks were coming off of a bye.
While the loss can't be squarely placed on the scheduling, it's hard to ignore the difficulty of playing in a hostile environment against a well-rested team.
At the end of the day though, the truth is this: the Ducks are a good football team. So are the Huskies. But only one of them was considered a top-10 team at any point in the year.
Washington had battled back to No. 7, and a win would have very much kept them in the Playoff conversation, at least somewhat. Instead, the loss effectively eliminates them from contention. What's worse, the Huskies are no longer a sure bet to win the Pac-12 North. And for the loss to come to their most hated rivals right when it looked like the conference belonged to the Dawg pack again?
There's a lot of football left to play this season, but this one's going to hurt for a while.
