How to Turn a Page
1. Acquire a book. It doesn't matter what type; if it has pages, you can turn them! Not just books have pages: magazines, leaflets, calenders, they all have pages to turn. Once you have a book, you're ready to begin.

2. Examine the layout of the pages. With most books, the pages turn over to the left side. However, some books and indeed calenders have pages the turn upwards and some foreign texts write right to left, so the pages may turn to the right, opposite to those of the western world. Making sure you have the book the right way up is also a good idea.

3. Open the book. To do this, put your hands on either side of the book, place your thumbs roughly in the middle of the side that's facing towards you and separate them, gripping the book as you go; this will cause the book to part and the book to be now open. Normally you would want to start from the beginning of the book, where the story often begins, but to learn how to turn a page, you can start anywhere in the book.

4. Place the book on its spine, either in your hand, on a flat surface or other area so that the cover is facing downwards and the open pages upwards. This makes it much easier to turn pages because of gravity and hold your position in the book.

There's much, much more there.

1. How to Knock on a Door
This article teaches you how to knock on a door.

Steps
1. Start by approaching the door with a steady gait. However, do check for a "Beware of Dogs" sign or something to that effect. Remember, prevention is better than cure, especially in the case of dog-bites.
2. When you reach the door, confirm that the address is the right one before proceeding.
3. Prepare to knock on the door by making a fist and readying your knuckles for an impact.
4. If there is a door-knocker, it might be more prudent to use it.
5. In the absence of a door-knocker, hit the surface of the door with the knuckles of the fist.
6. Repeat until the desired result is obtained.


Tips
* If there is a doorbell, it might be considered wise to use that instead.


Warnings
* Make sure that the surface is suitable to knocking.
* Do not knock more than is socially acceptable, unless the situation demands it.


Things You'll Need
* A hand
* A door to knock on
* Patience

4. It reminds me of the moment I realized that human beings are
, as a whole, a doomed species; I saw a warning label on a jar of peanut butter alerting me to the fact that it contained peanuts.

5. Turn The Page
Bob Seger - Turn The Page

On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
moanin' out his one note song
You can think about the woman
or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours
and there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin',
you just wish the trip was through

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

Well you walk into a restaurant,
strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
as you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you

but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk,
other times you can
All the same old cliches,
"Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered,
you don't dare make a stand

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

Out there in the spotlight
you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
like the music that you play
Later in the evening
as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette,
rememberin' what she said

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
There I go

6. You should mention in step 3 that the spine should be facing away from you.
Otherwise you will find it impossible to open the book.
