You must be able to control your horse and feel happy in a canter before attempting to gallop. Practicing a horse's other gaits will allow you to naturally build up to proper galloping positioning. A canter is basically a slow run for a horse. It is faster than a trot but not the full-out run of a gallop. In order to keep on your horse while it is galloping, you will need to be able to stand up in the stirrups. So, when you are riding your horse at a trot or canter, you should practice standing up in the stirrups.  Practicing standing up in the stirrups will help you build up the muscles you will need to hold this position while the horse is galloping. You can also drop your stirrups and hold a seated trot. This will help to strengthen your legs and help your 2-point. Keep practicing the 2-point position at a slower gait, such as a canter. It is important to know you have the strength and muscle stamina to keep your body elevated above the horse before you try to do it while galloping.  Perfecting your 2-point positioning will likely take a lot of practice. You will need to get used to the proper body positioning and the energy it takes to hold that position. A horse may be able to gallop for a long amount of time, but you must be sure you're prepared for this. Always remember that not only does the horse become exhausted, but the rider as well. It is just as dangerous to push yourself as it is to push the horse because your exhaustion could easily lead to you losing control. To perfect your 2-point position and to build up to a gallop, you may want to find a riding instructor to help you. A riding instructor can assess your positioning and can instruct you about how to improve your riding. A good riding instructor can typically be found by searching online or through your local riding club or horse organization.

Summary: Get comfortable with cantering. Practice standing up in your stirrups. Perfect the 2-point position while riding at a lower speed. Consider hiring an instructor.


Not all companies have the same goals even if they are looking to fill the same position.  Finding a company that agrees with your own personal values can make sure that you will be comfortable working there.  This can also help by assuaging any fears that your new employer might have regarding how well you will fit their culture.  Try looking online at the company's website to get a better feel for their culture. Ask any contacts you might have what the culture is like at the place you are investigating. Looking up reviews of the company can give you a good idea of how they interact with either past employees or customers. Most every employer will have some kind of social networking presences that you can examine. When searching for a position after being self-employed, it can be a good idea to focus the search on companies that have a unique need for your skill set.  Presenting yourself as someone capable of filling a specific need that an employer might have can give you the advantage and allow your application to be taken into consideration. Keep this in mind when crafting your resume and objective. If they need a team leader, you can emphasize your ability to self-start and keep yourself on task, which will translate nicely. Finding a new position and successfully obtaining it using large on-line databases or other traditional job search methods might work.  However, these methods can be difficult for a previously self employed person to find success with.  Instead, networking is the best option for finding an open position and getting an interview after being self employed.  Make your professional goals known to those you meet.  You never know who might end up helping you obtain a new position. Finding a friend that already works in a field you're interested is a great way to make contacts in that field.  You might also be able to make additional contacts through people you already know. Talk about your skills and accomplishments as well as anything you are currently working on. Keep track of the names and faces of any contacts you make. A great way to demonstrate your skill and personal passion for whatever position you might be seeking is to start a blog.  By creating quality and engaging content about your chosen field of interest, you can demonstrate your skills, knowledge, and ability to a potential employer.  Start posting to your blog regularly and work to build up an impressive display of your professional value.  You might want to turn your blog into your resume by including a neat presentation of your qualifications and contact information. Make sure your blog is sending the right message.  Keep your content, tone and presentation clean and professional. Seek out professional associations, conferences, and conventions that work in the field you are trying to gain employment with.  Attending these meetings will allow you to learn new skills and meet new people, giving you fresh leads on open positions to pursue.

Summary: Find a company that has the right culture. Look for companies that can benefit from your skills. Network. Start a blog. Attend professional gatherings.


Nearsightedness makes it difficult to see objects far away. This is caused by having an eyeball that is too long, or a cornea that is too curved. This affects the way light is reflected on the retina, which causes blurred vision. Farsightedness makes it difficult to see objects that are up close. This is caused by having an eyeball that is too short, or a cornea that is not curved enough. An Astigmatism is when the eye doesn’t focus light properly into the retina. Astigmatism causes objects to appear blurry and stretched out. It is caused by an irregular shaped cornea. This condition typically comes with age (over 40). This condition makes it difficult for the eye to focus on objects clearly. Presbyopia is caused by a loss of flexibility and thickening of the lens inside the eye.

Summary: Identify nearsightedness. Identify farsightedness. Identify astigmatism. Identify presbyopia.


Peel and mince finely. Use a fine grater or a food processor to mince the ginger. Alternatively, use an ice cube tray. Keep the layer as even as possible. Repeat until all of the minced ginger has been used up. Place the sheet or tray inside the freezer. Let freeze. Lift off the frozen portions of the minced ginger. Transfer each portion to either a resealable bag or an airtight container. If using a bag, try to expel as much air as possible before resealing. Use as needed. This ginger will keep for up to six months.
Summary: Select a suitable piece of ginger. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper or foil. Spread a teaspoon or tablespoon amount at a time of the minced ginger across a part of the parchment paper or foil. Place a sheet of plastic wrap gently over the top of the spread ginger. Remove from the freezer. Place back in the freezer.
