CORRECTING misconduct in science is the scientists' job. The government's role is to make sure that instances of misconduct, when they occur, are handled promptly and fairly and to step in only if the scientists' investigation fails.
This, said Kenneth Ryan, MD, is the guiding principle behind the report by the Commission on Research Integrity. Ryan was chair of the 12-member commission chartered by Congress in 1993 to deal with allegations of fraud in federally supported scientific research.
Ryan presented a summary of the commission's report during the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, held in Baltimore, Md. He is Kate Macy Ladd Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology at Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass.
The report was delivered to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and to Congress last November, but, Ryan noted, it has attracted little public attention. He credited

What Makes The Frank Camaratta Signature Chessmen Unique?
The Elgin Marbles are a collection of classical Greek marble sculptures that originally were part of the Parthenon and other buildings on the Acropolis of Athens. In 1801, Thomas Bruce, the 7th Earl of Elgin, expropriated what was at the time known as the the Parthenon Marbles and put them on display in the British Museum, where they reside to this day.
While it is well-known that the Knight design of the original Staunton Pattern chessmen, first introduced in 1849, are based upon are Elgin Marbles, the reality is that the actual horse design is quite different.
The Knights in Camaratta Signature Series Chessmen are an exact recreation of the Moon Goddess Selene's Chariot Horse, showing the bulging eyes, the flaring nostrils and the gaping mouth.

Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United on alert as Wesley Sneijder seeks Premier League move
Inter Milan playmaker has been given 24 hours to decide if he wants to join Galatasaray
Majid Mohamed
Majid has been a member of The Independent's online editorial team since December 2007. A European football fanatic, he is especially interested in the Dutch game.
Thursday 10 January 2013
Dutch international Wesley Sneijder is seeking a move to the Premier League despite reportedly being close to a transfer to Turkey.
The Inter Milan playmaker has told his agent his preference remains a move to England following spells in the Netherlands, Spain and Italy.
Reports had suggested the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham had decided against making a move for the unsettled star due to his wage demands, despite being offered the player by his representatives.
Sneijder has been given 24 hours to decide if he wants to join Galatasaray, according to the Turkish club's director of sport.
Galatasaray director Bulent Tulun is said to have told Turkish radio station Radyospor: "Sneijder will give us a response inside 24 hours, but in 99 per cent of these cases the transfer negotiations are already done."
Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti confirmed that an offer of €10million (£8.2million) from the Turkish giants had been accepted by the 2010 Serie A champions.
"Galatasaray's offer satisfies us. Now it depends on the player," Moratti told Sky Sports.
"We would be happy if he decided to stay on our terms."
According to a Turkish newspaper Sneijder can expect to earn €6million per year plus bonuses at Galatasaray.
Reports suggested that the Dutch international, who has not played for Inter since September, would leave due to a contract dispute with the Nerazzurri.
Sneijder's agent, Soren Lerby, would not comment on the proposed transfer, telling De Telegraaf: "Every day there is a new club linked with Wesley.
"For that reason I have decided not to answer any more questions."
A statement on the Turkish club's official website, galatasaray.org, read: "Galatasaray announces it has begun negotiations with FC Internazionale for the transfer of Wesley Sneijder.
"The public will be informed of developments."
Sneijder joined Inter in August 2009 for a fee of €15million and went on to win the Champions League trophy, Serie A title and Coppa Italia in his first season under the guidance of Jose Mourinho. Sneijder joined the Italian side following a two-year spell at Real Madrid, where he won the La Liga title in 2008, after a €27million move from Dutch giants Ajax in 2007.

Foreign Military Sales:
DOD's Stabilized Rate Can Recover Full Cost
AIMD-97-134: Published: Sep 18, 1997. Publicly Released: Sep 18, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-9505
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) use of stabilized rates for charging foreign military sales (FMS) customers for goods and services sold through DOD's Defense Business Operations Fund (DBOF), focusing on whether: (1) there is a dollar difference in pricing goods and services at full cost compared to the stabilized rate; and (2) DOD's current practice of billing foreign customers at the stabilized rate is consistent with the full cost requirements of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976.
GAO noted that: (1) DOD's stabilized rate generally is designed to recover full costs from DOD and FMS customers over the long term; (2) the concept of applying the stabilized rate is a viable method to recover the cost of goods and services from these customers; (3) GAO's analysis of cost elements in the stabilized rates showed that generally, the stabilized rate included the cost elements necessary to recover full cost; (4) however, GAO did identify two cost elements--pension and postretirement health benefits--related to retirement benefit costs of civilian personnel working on FMS cases, that were not included in the stabilized rates; (5) GAO estimates that Working Capital Fund (WCF) supply activities undercharged FMS customers at least $40.5 million during fiscal years (FY) 1992 through 1996 and will undercharge millions more in FY 1997; (5) GAO discussed this matter with DOD officials and they agreed that not all civilian retirement benefit labor costs were included in the rates that activities were charging FMS customers; and (6) they now plan to revise their policy to require that this cost be included in the prices charged FMS customers.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD concurred fully with the recommendation. On August 27, 1997, the Acting Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) issued guidance instructing that, effective immediately, the price or rate charged FMS customers shall be adjusted to include an amount for unfunded civilian retirement and postretirement health benefits costs.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to implement the stabilized rate policies and procedures as soon as possible to require WCF activities to include pension and postretirement health benefit costs in the prices they charge FMS customers.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Acting Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) requested that the Defense Security Assistance Agency (DSAA), in conjunction with the military departments, review FMS cases, going back through fiscal year 1992, and bill the FMS customers for the costs of unfunded civilian retirement and postretirement health benefits where cost effective. In May 1998, DSAA notified OUSD(C) that reviews conducted by the military services concluded that the research involved in identifying the actual amounts to charge each FMS customer would be time-consuming, extremely labor-intensive, and costly. DSAA informed the Under Secretary's office that the FMS customer was not going to be billed for undercharges GAO identified. DOD's Deputy Chief Financial Officer concurred with the DSAA Director and noted that DOD now considers the recommendation closed and that no further action will be taken to collect the undercharges from the FMS customers.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to make every reasonable attempt to bill for and collect the undercharges for pension and postretirement health benefit costs identified in this report. Such action should be taken only if cost-effective to do so.

A new decade is upon us and the ERP software industry looks quite different than it did at the start of the decade. Ten years ago, the enterprise software space was booming, IT budgets were flush, and companies were replacing accounting systems left and right in preparation for Y2K.
In contrast, the decade closes with depressed IT spending levels, revenue contraction among many ERP vendors, and uncertainty about the future. However, there are several things to be optimistic about. Below is our ten predictions for the enterprise software space in 2010.
ERP Software Predictions for 2010
- Diligent focus on ERP software benefits realization and ROI. Long gone are the days of spending like it's 1999 and hoping for the best. CIOs and COOs will continue to face pressure to prove that every dime of investment in ERP systems is justified and generates a solid return on investment. Look for more deliberate spending, more phased rollouts, buying licenses only as they're needed, and hesitancy to invest in more expensive advanced enterprise software modules.
- SMBs to get back into the ERP software market. The bright spot in any recovering economy is usually small business (SMBs). As the economy emerges from the recession, SMBs will look for small business software to automate their operations and scale for growth. In addition, large software vendors such as SAP and Oracle will continue to focus on the SMB market to reinvigorate their revenue growth in software license sales.
- Increased adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) at SMBs. While SMBs may lead the charge in their small business software investments, it may be difficult for them to make the necessary investments. Given that tight credit markets will likely continue into the new decade, many SMBs will look to SaaS ERP software to help them minimize up front capital IT costs.
- Lots of ERP SaaS talk, but not as much action at large organizations. Larger companies, on the other hand, are likely to consider SaaS options, but are much less likely than their SMB counterparts to commit to these deployment models. As software vendors expand hybrid solutions combining the benefits of SaaS with the flexibility of traditional ERP (e.g. Oracle's On Demand and SAP's Business By Design offerings), larger organizations will continue opting for non-SaaS options that more commonly reduce cost and risk while maximizing business benefits in the long-term. They will, however, be more inclined to leverage SaaS for some niche functions, such as Document Management Systems (DMS), Human Resource Management Software (HRM/HCM), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
- Increasing focus on organizational change management and ERP benefits realization. As demonstrated by the exponential growth in Panorama's organizational change management practice, companies are directing much of their ERP software investments to areas that ensure they implement effectively and get more out of their existing enterprise investments. The need to more effectively manage organizational and business risk will likely result in a continuation of this trend in 2010.
- With ERP software, it's still a buyers' market. Even in the most optimistic scenario, overall 2010 enterprise software spending will not return to pre-recession levels. This means ERP software buyers will remain in the driver's seat, which will be reflected in aggressive software pricing and shared benefits implementation models, such as that introduced by Epicor late this year.
- Enterprise software risk management. As CIOs and executive teams remain on the hot seat to prove the value of their investments, risk management will be the name of the game. Look for more ERP implementations to leverage organizational change management and independent oversight of software vendors to help mitigate business risk.
- ERP software vendor consolidation. Vendor competition was fierce before the recession and is even more so now. Dozens of smaller vendors are starved for cash and unable to fuel R&D and other product innovations without infusions of capital. Add the fact that larger vendors have cash and some have grown successfully via acquisition to date (e.g. Oracle and Infor), and continued vendor consolidation looks inevitable.
- Focus on integration rather than major ERP package enhancements. Given corporate aversion to risk, companies are going to be less likely to bet on entirely new products or risky upgrades. As a result, vendors are more likely to invest in incremental product enhancements and tighter integration between modules rather than revolutionary changes to their software.
- Niches, low-hanging fruit, and business value. Look for companies to be very deliberate about how they invest in enterprise software, the risk they're willing to take, and how they manage implementations. If executives aren't convinced that their enterprise software investments will deliver measurable business value, they won't invest in it. Areas that deliver immediate value are priorities for the coming year.
We are optimistic about the coming year and can't help but wonder if the economic recession exactly what the enterprise software market needed. ERP failures, cost overruns, difficult software vendors, and lack of business benefits had become too frequent, but these lean times will not allow for these trends to continue.
So what does this mean to clients and other companies considering ERP software investments in the coming year? The companies that choose the right software for their organizations, best manage business and organizational risk, implement effectively, and position themselves for benefits realization will be better positioned headed into the recovery. This will require companies to more effectively assess vendor viability during their ERP selection processes and leverage ERP software implementation best practices more than they have in the past.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Nigeria attacks kill 13 vigilantes, 5 sect membersBy HARUNA UMAR
The Associated Press | September 09,2013MAIDUGURI, Nigeria An attack by suspected Islamic sect members on a town guarded by a vigilante group in northeast Nigeria on Sunday killed at least 18 people and injured 17, residents and a government official said.
The attack in Benisheik, 45 miles west of Maiduguri, the birthplace of the Boko Haram network, took place days after the military said it killed at least 50 insurgents in an area to the north.
Zannah Fannami, a 27-year-old operative with the Civilian Joint Task Force vigilante group, said its members were attacked while awaiting Boko Harams approach on the town.
We heard that they would be coming since Friday and had been keeping vigil all nights, he said from the University of Maiduguri hospital while being treated for a bullet to his right thigh. Late Saturday night, when we least expected it, we heard a thunderous sound like that of a bomb coming from the direction of a soldiers post, then we decided to advance toward the sound and the Boko Haram gunmen, carrying sophisticated arms, opened fire on us, killing 12 of our members.
He said the vigilante group, which formed to fight the Boko Haram network, was able to kill five of the Islamic sect members and take possession of four AK-47 rifles.
Another injured Civilian-JTF operative, 32-year-old Muhammed Abuwar, said: The military had agreed to watch and lay in ambush with us against the Boko Haram, but when the attackers came, none of them came over to assist us. Most of the Boko Haram shooters were shooting from atop trees.
The military has agreed to support any missions by the Civilian-JTF until its newest 7th Division fully formed to fight Boko Haram is fully functional.
The spokesman for that division, Lt. Col. Sagir Musa, said that brigade troops were sent to the area and the attack was repelled. Troops are still searching for fleeing insurgents, he said.
Information available to 7th Division of the Nigeria army revealed that at about 12:30 a.m. suspected members of Boko Haram terrorists deceptively attacked the youth vigilantes at Benisheik, he said. The spokesman confirmed five Boko Haram members were killed, but put the vigilante death toll at six.
The road leading toward Maiduguri was barricaded until the road was cleared, he said, adding: Normalcy has been returned to the area.
A top Borno state government labor adviser, Garba Ngamdu, who also hails from Benisheik, said one of vigilante members had died in the hospital as doctors tried to remove bullets from his body.
He also confirmed the death of the five Boko Haram members at the hands of vigilante members with machetes and said their dead bodies still lay on the outskirts of the town.
Benisheik is a scanty linear settlement of staple crop farmers of not more than 1,000 houses, mostly made of mud.
There has been a rash of attacks by suspected sect members in northeast Nigeria recently, after young vigilantes formed the Civilian-JTF in June, taking over the search for the insurgents. The vigilante force claims credit for thousands of arrests in Maiduguri and many killings.MORE IN Wire NewsOMAHA, Neb.

Building bigger homes
Relevant offers
Houses built in Marlborough have increased in size in line with a decades-long nationwide trend, although the financial downturn has seen it partly reverse.
Marlborough District Council building control group leader Bill East said homes built in Marlborough in the early 2000s tended to be about 130 square metres but this increased to more than 200sqm following the 2004 building boom.
The recession brought that expansion to a halt with the average house now covering 180sqm, he said. However, in the past couple of months, this number had been tracking upwards again, although it was too early to say whether this was part of a wider trend.
"[If it is a trend] then it is a positive thing for Marlborough. We have been in the doldrums too long."
Blenheim builder Andrew Lawson said he had noticed houses being built in the region had been progressively larger over his 20-year career, with people wanting a fourth bedroom, an ensuite for the master bedroom, and in some cases, a third bathroom.
If people could afford it, they would get add-ons such as outdoor barbecue areas, but as the recession hit, these kinds of nice-to-haves became less common, he said.
"It has a lot to do with the state of the economy. When the economy is better, people build bigger, but since the recession hit, they [houses] have been getting smaller."
Harcourts Marlborough owner Mark Davis said people wanted bigger homes, and during the housing boom, more people were willing to have one built if they could not find one they liked on the market.
As New Zealand came out of the recession, people were more comfortable taking a mone tary risk and were prepared to build their own homes again, he said.
Although Marlborough had an aging population, there was still a trend toward four-bedroom houses, but without the dramatic increase in floor size, he said.
"You will find that new houses are being built with a fourth bedroom that can be used as an office. People also want that extra room for people visiting or family, that kind of thing.
"People are building smarter and maximising living space," he said.
Peter Ray Homes director Rowan Lee said the average floor area of houses they built in 2010 was 230sqm. The average was now 200sqm and they had downsized their showroom to reflect this. "We are finding that people are looking more into insulation and heating as well as making sure they have a little bit of luxury in their bathrooms and kitchens.
"It is, in my opinion, economics. People are trying to get their costs down."

Re; New Crimson material
:: Posted by Valhalla on November 07, 2014
Excellent news indeed! Wonderful to hear Fripp & Jakko are in the studio, & whoever else from the band also! Agree with his London calling, getting out & about in the country, so to speak! I am from Oz & I agree with that, being a country lad & all. The Mighty Crim, brilliant.
Mel C to Toyah Willcox to Robert Fripp
:: Posted by jhessel on November 06, 2014
Mel C and Toyah performed in Queenmania (April 9, 2005) and Toyah and Robert have performed together in the Humans.
I wonder how many people beat me to this?!?

Like mckennon10, Ive been praying for a release of RFs Soundscapes at the World Financial Center in NYC. While a bundled online release of FLAC and MP3 files would probably make the most sense economically, I would be glad to pony up for a DVD-Audio or Blu-ray set including surround sound mixes. The performances were beautiful and a great gift to the audience. I still play the WNYC streams quite often.
Question for ulrichspiegel
:: Posted by ulrichspiegel on November 06, 2014
It has never occured to me that anyone here might connect Sporty Spice (who ever this might be) to King Crimson. In my context Mel C of course refers to Mel Collins who has a long-time member of the Helmut Zerlett studio band in the Harald Schmidt late night show. The last recording with Mel Collins here in Cologne was the final recording of the late Stefan Krachten. There will be a concert honoring Stefan Krachten on November 8, 2014 in the Rhenania Club, and I hope Mel Collins will participate. Mark Charig gave a concert in the award winning LOFT in Cologne just one month ago. Quetion for the net competetion: connect Mel Collins in as few steps as possible to Mel C (of Spice Girls).Now there's a challenge - I can do it in one. Anybody else?Sid
RE: Mixing
:: Posted by gruffydd on November 06, 2014
Years ago, I took 2 different version of Mary from Robert Fripps "Exposure" CD, and made a version that had Daryl Hall in the right channel, and Terre Roche in the left channel. It was interesting to be able to simultaneously compare and contrast their phrasing and attack of the vocals. It was a little chaotic, but still fun. Ill have to see if I still have that stored away somewhere.
RE: Mixing
:: Posted by SnakeCained on November 06, 2014
Ah so you have your own mix of Frame by Frame? But have you added your own guitar parts to the mix? ;-) Thanks to the fantastically accurate score that Treys friend did there is nothing stopping you. Well assuming that you can actually play the guitar and are also capable of executing the parts. Belews is mostly do-able but Fripps..... well lets just say it took me a couple of years! And Im still not happy with what I have. I encourage DGM to do more of this kind of thing (Multitrack revelations) it really provides fantastic insight into our favourite music and allows those of us with unchecked ambition to join the band for the evening in our own home. For those of you with a technical bent, the Thrak and Power to Believe albums can be very revealing if you start muting the left or right channel. For example you can make Belew "disappear" on say Level 5 and enjoy the challenge of replacing him. And that is a challenge! And lets not have any comments on Belew disappearing from Crimson in general. It has happened. We move on...
:: Posted by gruffydd on November 05, 2014
I was able to make my own new mix of "Frame By Frame" by marrying the latest Mr. Stormy Mondays Selection - the version stripping away the guitars, and adding the center vocal track from the 5.1 mix. It sounds pretty cool.
we want gods
:: Posted by andyfromozz on November 05, 2014
To many of us who dont have the talents of the Dylans, Lennons or Fripps of this world, their skill can seem amazing, mystical, even god-like. As there is no evidence of the actual existence of any supernatural beings... we mere mortals instead must elevate our heroes into "god" status. Alas our "rock gods" are only too human. The bullets that ended Lennons life suddenly made him into a saint, yet we all know he most certainly was not. Dylans fans seem almost cultish in their devotion to the great man. Dare I say it here, but many of us seem to worship RF in the same way. Im not putting anyone down, just making the point that we humans want gods...I can only imagine the mindfuck it can create for the talented people who become "gods" in the minds of their fanatical followers. It must be difficult to keep ones feet on the ground in the face of incessant grovelling and praise for ones talent. For every humble artist who just wants to be treated as a normal homo sapiens, there would be another that desires to be a god...and if they are lucky enough to have the requisite star quality, there will be the fans ready to help them achieve their dream. cheers andy from mt olympus
2015 venues in Silesia
:: Posted by rzachol on November 05, 2014
Well, if venues are being discussed at Silesia Studio, why not discussing a venue in Silesia ? For example in the beautiful city of Wroclaw, which happens to be the capital of Lower Silesia, every May 1st there is a "Market Square of Guitars" event where a few thousand people play Hey Joe as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix (you might want to look up www.heyjoe.pl) with the likes of Steve Morse, Al di Meola or Steve Vai on stage - would be wonderful to have #KC2015 gig there ...

The series of concerts given by Mr. Fripp in 2010 as part of his residency at The World Financial Center, NYC, were groundbreaking for me. It was an experience I will treasure forever; and as I continue to seek guidance in my quest to learn how one truly gets out of bed, I find myself wishing I could hear the concerts again. Large snippets exist on the WNYC website, which brought me to tears today after not hearing them for over 4 years. I ask now, if it please Mr. Fripp, could he make the full recordings available for purchase on DGM? Thank you for the great inspiration you have given me, Robert. Sincerest regards, MattThe concerts have been under consideration for release though no date has been set for this. Sid

We all want usability, that's a given right? We exist in an enterprise world, but we want to behave as naturally as possible with all of the technologies and devices that we come into contact with every day.
The co-called 'consumerization of information technology' suggests that we as users have adopted powerful devices for our home and personal use. These devices will in many respects out-perform those devices that we might be using or have used in the workplace.
The corollary or upshot of this reality is that workers themselves start to perform their work-related tasks more effectively if they are given a user interface that feels familiar. When we say familiar, let us be more specific - we are talking about making enterprise application user interfaces more attuned to those we might have found in consumer-style applications.
This (somewhat nauseatingly) is often termed part of the User eXperience (UX) factor that has become so crucial in all aspects of software application development and systems management as a whole.
What this means is that software application development teams must now balance UX-related usability along with a core devotion to true functionality. It also means they will have to balance the ROI needed to pull off the UX goals with the still-essential security (and compliance and governance etc.) requirements set by the IT department as they strive to create a user experience that employees will love.
The Hardest Chasm to Cross
One of the hardest bridges to cross here is the fact that the UX for most enterprise applications is formulated during the age when desktops ruled. This is of course no longer the case and we naturally talk about mobile-first as the defining factor, which must drive all application creation at every level.
While some of this discussion edges on the arguably rather fluffy borders of user experience design consultancy, there is a reality to embrace here and that is the fact that the user now becomes a much more dynamic force in terms of the way we build software applications. If that almost sounds stupid, then it should - and perhaps we should have been this responsive to users' needs years ago.
We know that optimal application design can help retain users, improve user productivity and lower customer service costs.
This truth means that we have to use another word that has been sullied by over-use in terms of PR spin and hackneyed repetition: intuitive.
Intuitive user interface design means being able to use an application well, of course, but what does it really mean?
Jared M Spool wrote a brilliant piece almost a decade ago now where here said, "To those who police the English language, interfaces can't be intuitive, since they are the behavior side of programs and programs can't intuit anything. When someone is asking for an intuitive interface, what they are really asking for is an interface that they, themselves, can intuit easily. They are really saying, 'I want something I find intuitive' [to use]."
How to Make a Great GUI
The secret to making a great user interface great is complex. There are basic points to mention though: keep it mobile first, keep it consistent (so that users do the 'same sort' of action on all pages of the GUI), keep it fallible (users make a lot of mistakes, accommodate for that factor), keep it conventional (there are many de facto standards that we are all used to such as a trash can for a delete action), keep it simple and ... perhaps most of all... keep it functional and personalized.
If we get all these elements right, well, even if we get most of these elements right or at least make sure that we have been thinking about them then there is every chance that our GUIs will shine and that this particular revolution will be televised.
It might end up being televised on a tablet or smartphone first, but the GUI revolution will be televised.

1/ To begin, drop the ball and try and kick it up with the middle of the top of your best foot. Try and kick it straight up into the air and catch it. Do it again and again until it's easy. Try to get used to not kicking the ball too high into the air. It's all about control.
2/ When you're comfortable with this, try kicking the ball in the air a couple of times without catching it. Watch the ball down on to the foot you kicked it with. Focus on the ball. Monitor your progress. Practice every day. The more you do it the easier you'll find it to keep yourself focused. There is no magic formula to improving at keepy uppies, it's just a case of putting the hours in.
3/ A good way to improve quickly is to start off practicing with a small ball, as it will make doing keepy uppies with a big ball much easier. When you've got a good touch on the ball, keepy uppies will come naturally.
4/ Once you're good with your preferred foot, try doing some on the other foot. When it seems easy, try alternating the foot you kick the ball with.
5/ When you've mastered that, try doing combinations like kicking the ball, then heading it, then balancing it on your knee. Ultimately, keepy uppies require practice, patience, balance and concentration. But if you put the effort in, you'll reap the rewards and you'll find your touch is greatly improved when playing in competitive matches.
