Wiki How step 1

Three topics not currently on wikiHow include how to tie a locking hitch, how to make a mimosa float, and how to perform a “T” or “Jesus” dance lift using two or three people. These are three things that may clearly be written in the “how to/step by step” formula that wikiHow uses. Many interests don’t lend themselves to wikiHow posts, like “how to choreograph,” or they are already on wikiHow, like “how to take a penalty kick in soccer.”

The locking hitch is used on a schooner style sailboat to keep the boom of the foresail in place while docked.  It is also useful in other scenarios, like when setting up a tailgate and the line of a tent needs to be taught. It’s a simple knot that would be easy to photograph or illustrate. The knot can also be made “slippery” so it is easy to untie. There are three specific movements involved in tying the knot as well as preparing and finishing with a slippery knot, which allows the whole thing to become undone with one specific pull.

The “mimosa float” is a creation developed while watching Golden Girls reruns on Hallmark. An Instagram post about sherbet was the original inspiration.  There are two versions. The orange mimosa is 3/5 champagne, 1/5 sprite, 1/5 orange juice, with orange sherbet, and finally garnished with an orange. The raspberry mimosa is 3/5 champagne, 1/5 sprite, 1/5 pineapple juice with raspberry sherbet and garnished with raspberries. It is imperative that the juices used are very chilled, otherwise the temperature difference between the sherbet and champagne will be unsatisfying. Without the chilled juices, the champagne will also taste uncomfortably bitter in comparison to the sherbet. The mimosa also should sit and then be lightly stirred in order for maximum enjoyment to be reached.

The “Jesus” lift is something that is easy to place choreography when appropriate. The lift takes three or four girls total, and size is not as big of a factor as it may be in other lifts that can be done. When a class is entirely young women, strength and size varies greatly, and this particular lift compensates for that. The flyer stands in a T position, holding their arms out locked and strong. The lifters hold them one arm near the shoulder, one arm near the elbow. Sometimes, two is enough. Other times, especially for the inexperienced, a third person may be added for stability at the person’s hips.

The most successful wikiHow article may be the mimosa float recipe, but the most interesting article would be about the lift. Thinking realistically, obtaining photographs for the mimosas would be much easier than with the lift to meet the deadlines, and also obtain a waiver from the people at my disposal. The locking hitch is incredibly simple, but very useful. It is specific and useful to boating and camping. The locking hitch is a combination of two knots and is useful very specifically when the line need not have any slack. With a piece of rope, it would be easy to photograph the steps involved in the locking hitch, however, the accompanying article may not be long enough to meet the project requirements.
