Your predictions about a future trend

Fad and trend are really goes fast, it keeps changing in every minutes. Although I will not keep to chase the trend. But I will try to predict what will go on in the future. It is very common to hear about many stray dogs or cats on the street, if you don’t want to lose your pet, you can bring your pet to insert the microchip into their body. Then, you may know their location and find them. Recently, I read the newspaper was written about there were a man who tried to insert the microchip into his body, the reason was he saw many terrorist bomb the airplane or bomb the other building, and it is not easy to arrest them. How to solve such kind of the problem in the future, he suggested that every human also can insert the microchip inside the body. Therefore, the identity can be known and it is easy to chase their footstep. This guy is a first person to show the example of the microchip in his body. Maybe it seems this guy is so crazy, but I think this maybe also a trend in the future ! Many people will insert the micochip inside their body, like the tattooing in the past.

How to repair the damage in drywall

Every weekend holiday, we will go to restaurant to eat dim sum with my family, after that, we went home to do the garden work or housework. My husband likes to do some maintenance work for the house. This time, he discovered there were small holes on our drywall. Therefore, he tried to fix it with some equipment. For instance: Take out some compound patch, paper tape and screws etc.

First, cut a patch slightly larger than the hole from a scrap of drywall, the same thickness as the wall. Then, place the patch over the hole. Cut to the lines with a drywall saw, and remove the damaged wallboard. Place another small wood in the wall behind the hole, and attach them in place with drywall screws. After that, insert the drywall patch in the hole, and screw it to the wood together using drywall screws. Cover the patch with joint compound wood and put some tape on the seams. Then, smooth out the joint compound with a small drywall knife and let it dry. Apply two additional coats on the surface of the wall with a small drywall knife again, then, apply the compound out evenly over the next surface. Once the compound has dried, sand it smoothly before priming and painting. Finally, This method can become a permanent repair.

How to play basketball

Since I were in primary school, I joined in the basketball team at the school. During that time, I feel very interested in playing basketball. Let me share some experiences that I learned before to you .

First, The basketball instructor showed how to release the ball at the right height, right speed, and with the right trajectory, so that it is easier to touches the net. Then, they do it by applying spin to the ball and practicing the release of the ball at many different angles and heights. It is important to have a feel for the speed necessary to shoot the ball the center of the basket. In the jump shot and the free throw methods. Jump shot is a shot bounced off the backboard, but the jump shot is aimed at the center of the rim. On the other hand, the main successful shot are spin, angle of release and speed. It is pushed by a player’s fingertips rather than by the palm of the hand. This gives the shooter better control by releasing the ball with a flick of the wrist, it allows to put backspin on it. In long shot, the longer the ball is in the air, the greater the air resistance it encounters, so, it need to shoot the ball with even greater speed and a larger margin. In the past history, there were some basketball hero, like Michael Jordan in Chicago Bull, Thomas in Pistons, Larry Bird in Boston and Kobe Bryant in LA Laker. We can see their performance in some website or in youtube.
