Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stay relaxed between balls. Repeat a mantra or complete a ritual. Step up to the crease and shift gears.

Answer: 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.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check your saddle and pad to make sure they are fit for use. Place your saddle pad over your horse’s back gently. Hook the stirrups over the saddle horn and adjust them into place. Place the saddle onto the horse’s back. Tighten the girth around your horse so the saddle stays in place. Fasten any accessory equipment to the saddle or horse.

Answer: Inspect the equipment to ensure everything works properly and that there are no dirt or foreign objects on the saddle or saddle pad. Look for any tangles in the straps or any objects stuck to the pad or saddle. For example, if a burr is left under the saddle pad, your horse could buck when you sit on the saddle. Approach the horse from the left side, and drape the saddle pad over the horse’s back. Place the pad just in front of the horse’s withers (the highest part of a horse's back). Make sure you let go of the saddle pad gently. If your horse is younger or unfamiliar, you can let them smell the saddle pad before you put it on. The stirrups are attached to the saddle by a leather strap, and this is the part of the saddle where you place your feet. The saddle horn is a nub at the top of the saddle you can use to help you get into the saddle. Place the cinches of the right stirrup over the seat of the saddle, and buckle them in place, then do the same for the left stirrup. Avoid approaching your horse by carrying a saddle so the cinches drag at your feet. This could cause injuries. Swing the saddle over your horse’s back and place it down gently. It should easily fit over top of your horse, and you should place it directly on top of the saddle pad.  Avoid dropping the saddle or placing it down roughly. This may scare or hurt your horse. If you need to move the saddle or pad, lift it up rather than sliding it. Sliding can pull or bind the horse’s hair and cause a sore back. After you have the saddle and pad in place, move to the right side of the horse and adjust the cinch and girth so they fit snug around their body. Tighten the cinches slowly and gradually so you don’t scare the horse. Connect the back cinch to the front cinch so it doesn't slide into the horse’s flank. If the horse is known to kick, have a friend help. They can pass you the cinch from the other side of the horse. If you are using horse riding accessories like a collar, martingale, or tie-down, attach it to the tack or place it on the horse after you tack up your horse. Collars and martingales are used when your horse is pulling a cart or carriage.

Type devmgmt.msc and press ↵ Enter. Expand the Display adapters category. Right-click the first item in the list. Click Uninstall. Check the Delete driver software box and click OK. Repeat for any other Display adapter items. Restart your computer and allow it to boot normally. Install the latest drivers for your video card if you can boot.

Answer: Your video card drivers may be causing problems when Windows loads. Removing them will allow you to boot normally and then install the latest working drivers. This will open the Advanced Boot Options menu if you are quick. If Windows tries to load, you'll need to reboot and try again. This will load Windows in Safe Mode, which will usually work even if Windows normally shows a black screen. If Safe Mode will not work, try a Startup Repair.    You may have one or more display adapters listed here.    If the video drivers were causing the problem, Windows should now boot normally, though at a lower resolution than you may normally use. If removing the old display drivers fixed your problem, you'll want to install the latest available drivers to get your display capabilities back:  Open your web browser. Visit the driver download page for your graphics adapter. You're likely using either Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA. If you aren't sure, just try the auto-detection software for each one. Run the auto detection tool on the driver site to scan your computer and retrieve the proper files.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash the window thoroughly. Tape a border along the inside of the window frame, using painter's tape. Cover the interior walls of the work area with masking paper or plastic sheeting. Shake the frosting spray can for the suggested length, usually 1-2 minutes. Spray the window using large, back and forth motions to cover the surface evenly. Apply a second coat of frosting after your first coat has completely dried. Spray acrylic sealer onto the frosted window after it has completely dried. Remove the painter's tape carefully from the glass after the frosting has dried.

Answer:
Scrub to remove all dust and debris from the surface. After washing, dry the window completely.  Make sure there is no paper or fabric left behind on the surface or else this will affect the final appearance of the frosted glass. This border will be the portion of window you don't want frosted.  Blue painter's tape. Painter's tape is specifically designed to endure wet applications. It has a weak adhesive allowing it to be easily removed.  For windows with lattice work or muntin bars (strips of wood between the glass), cover the wood with tape. If the 1-in. painter's tape width isn't a thick enough border, lay another piece alongside it.  Use a tape measure to ensure that borders are symmetrical; uneven borders look bad. If your window does not have a frame, simply tape along the outside edges until you have created a border. Use painter's tape to hold it in place.  Don't leave any openings or gaps where the spray could enter. When working indoors, open doors and windows and turn on fans to help circulate fresh air.  Consider wearing a particle mask to protect your nose and mouth. The spray fumes are hazardous to your health.  Take the window outside, if possible. This ensures a healthy work space and decreases the likelihood of "overspray," and frosting spray drifting onto other objects. Find frosting spray at craft and home improvement stores. While shaking the can, you should hear the small ball inside begin to rattle. Test spray on a small piece of cardboard.  If it sprays correctly, prepare to frost your glass.  If it is not spraying at a steady rate, continue shaking and testing in 1 minute intervals. Hold the frosting can at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) from from the window's surface to avoid splotches and runs.  Apply a light coating at first.  It is easier to go back and add a second or third layer to even out the frosting, but it is difficult to remove gloppy or runny patches. Expect 5-10 minutes for the frosting to become visible on the glass. Use the same back-and-forth motion to create a smooth frosted surface. If necessary, apply a third or fourth layer of frosting until you get the desired effect. Follow the spray can's directions regarding the wait time required between coats. If you are satisfied with the appearance of the frosting, apply sealer.  Acrylic sealers protect glass from the elements such as moisture and dirt. The protective gloss coating is often permanent.  If you are unhappy with the frosted surface after the sealant has already dried, you will need to scrape it off with a razor blade. Peel slowly to avoid accidentally removing the frosting.  If you worked indoors, remove the painter's tape cautiously.  This will prevent removal of paint from the walls. Use mineral spirits to clean any overspray from your hands and other objects.  Do not use mineral spirits to clean items with paint or nice finishes, as this could damage the quality.
