Maintaining a relaxed body, positive energy, and a focused mind between balls can significantly improve your timing when you step up to hit. Take deep breaths and release the tension in your shoulders while you await the next ball. Let go of the fear of getting out and visualize yourself making a successful hit. Rest your bat between bowls and stay focused on the present.  Find a routine that works best for you. Perhaps chatting with the umpire relaxes you and takes your mind off the expectations placed upon you. Turn your concentration off between balls and when not on strike.  No-one can concentrate for two hours non stop. Routines can help get you into the correct mindset. When you step up to the crease, utter a phrase to yourself. “Keep your eye on the ball” is a common mantra. Other players complete a routine before assuming their stance in the crease, the place from which you will bat. This routine may include kicking the bat with your feet or adjusting your clothes. Mantras and routines don’t need to make sense to anyone but you. This may seem silly, but a consistent routine can help put you in the right mindset to hit the ball. Often routines and mantras are picked up during your youth. A high level of mental focus is required when trying to time your hit perfectly. As you prepare for the bowl, keep your mind free from distractions. Forget past failures and try not to conjure up potential future failures. Focus on the present. Remain calm, relaxed and aware of your body.

Q: After letting the lettuce mature for six weeks, start setting the tray of lettuce outside in a sheltered location for three hours a day. Each day, leave the tray of lettuce outside for two hours longer than the day before. The lettuce plants will be acclimated once they’ve been left outside for a full day. The entire acclimation process should take around a week.  Don't leave the lettuce out at night until they have completely acclimated to the outdoors. This will typically be at the end of the process. It's OK if the weather hasn't completely warmed at this point. Properly acclimating the lettuce will help it develop a resistance to cooler temperatures. You should not plant the lettuce outside, however, until you are certain that there will not be another frost. Organize the holes in staggered rows, making the holes 10 inches (25.4 cm) apart. Don’t make the patch any wider than 20 inches (50.8 cm). Plant the lettuce in a part of your garden with rich, well-drained soil that has full sun exposure. 5-10-10 fertilizer contains 5 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphorous, and 10 percent potassium. If you don’t have fertilizer, use a handful of compost or dried manure instead. Don’t try to transfer them when they’re dry or the soil will crumble and fall off around their roots. This will make the plants lighter so their growing roots can support them in the ground more easily. Leave the sprouts at the center of the plants intact; they will go on to form the lettuce heads. Plant them so they're at the same depth as when they were in the tray. Fill in the holes with soil and gently pack down the soil around the base of the plants with your hands. Continue to water them daily for the first three days after you transplant them.
A: Slowly acclimate the lettuce to being outside. Dig 5 inch (12.7 cm) holes in a patch of your garden for each seedling. Add a tablespoon of 5-10-10 fertilizer to each hole. Water the seed tray before you transfer the lettuce seedlings. Pull the outer leaves off the lettuce seedlings before you transfer them. Plant the seedlings in the holes. Lightly water the lettuce seedlings.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Traditionally duct tape comes in shiny silver which looks like aluminum.  These days you can find duct tape in a variety of colors and even tape with patterns printed on it.  With duct tape crafts becoming more popular, you can find fun tape choices online or at your local craft store. Cut a 5 inch strip of duct tape.  Measure 2.5 inches from one end to find the center of the strip.  From here, fold the tape in half.  Match the edges evenly and press the sticky side onto itself. Do your best to line the edges up evenly, but don’t worry if it’s a little bit off and there is still some sticky sides exposed. A bookmark made with only one strip of tape will be pretty flimsy.  Decide how thick and sturdy you want your bookmark and keep layering tape over it until it reaches your desired thickness. Get rid of any exposed stickiness by trimming around the edges of the bookmark with your scissors.  You can get creative with the shape of the bookmark when you trim.  Round out the edges of the bookmark. Cut a fun shape out of the top of the bookmark, like an animal head or your initial.

SUMMARY:
Choose your duct tape. Fold a strip of duct tape in half. Reinforce the strength of your bookmark by adding layers of tape. Trim the edges of the bookmark.
