Use an online scientific name finder, such as SciName Finder, to look up the genus of your organism. Underline or italicize the genus name, and capitalize the first letter.  For example, let’s say you were writing the scientific name of the snake plant, a tropical plant native to West Africa. The genus name would be written Sansevieria or Sansevieria. Using the common name of your organism in an online search will yield the proper scientific name. Look up the specific epithet (the species name) of your organism if you don’t know it yet. Underline or italicize the specific epithet, and put it in lowercase. The specific epithet of the snake plant would be written trifasciata or trifasciata. Write the full scientific name by placing the two italicized terms in the proper order with a space between them. You can also combine the underlined terms to make one word. For example, our snake plant’s full scientific name could be written Sansevieria trifasciata or Sansevieriatrifasciata. Determine if your organism has a special variety or cultivar. For cultivars, add the name of the cultivar, capitalized and in single quotes, after the specific epithet. Do not underline or italicize the cultivar name. For varieties, write “var.” after the epithet and underline or italicize the variety name. Capitalize a variety name only if it is a proper noun.  For example, the scientific name of the Golden Hahnii snake plant, a new cultivar of the snake plant, would be written Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Golden Hahnii.’ The scientific name of the striped snake plant, a variety of the snake plant, would be written Sansevieria trifasciata var. Laurentii. The Laurentii is capitalized because it is a proper noun (a last name) in honor of the person who discovered the plant. Varieties are mutations that occur in nature, while cultivars are man-made mutations. For example, a new variety of a species might occur in a unique natural environment, such as a rainforest. On the other hand, a cultivar might develop in a greenhouse where humans are only breeding certain types of plants.

Having a more experienced officer you can turn to for guidance will make a big difference. You'll gain both moral support and practical knowledge from a mentor. If your force doesn't already have a formal membership program, ask about starting one. Try doing something like meeting with your mentor once a month for lunch to talk about how things are going. Studies show that officers that get advanced education become better at their jobs. You could think about getting a degree in an area like criminal justice, if you don't already have one. If you already have a degree, you could also seek an advanced degree, such as a master's, or just take continuing education classes in areas such as:  Criminal justice Conflict resolution Interpersonal communication Cyber security Forensic science Talk with your commanding officer about your job performance. What are your strengths? Your weaknesses? What areas should you focus on improving? This kind of feedback is very valuable when trying to become a better police officer.

By the time you start training for dressage, your horse should be used to being on the bit. But that doesn’t mean that all bits are the same. Try some different ones to see which your horse responds well to. Some horses prefer a softer bit, while others require a firmer bit. For most horses, a double-jointed bit works best for dressage training. Help your horse loosen their muscles by lunging them out. Hook a simple lunge line to the halter or bridle and lead them in a circle around the enclosure. A typical warm-up session should last about 15-20 minutes. During the warm-up, you can practice changing gaits and directions. It’s a good idea to head into the training session with an idea of what you want to work on. Maybe you want to teach a particular stretch or jump. Keep in mind that horses have moods, just like people. If your horse is acting difficult or uninterested, they might need to work on something else that day.  Instead of working on a new skill, go back and polish up a skill that you’ve worked on previously. If your horse is really low energy, try just going for a leisurely ride. You can also try a new skill again the next time. Let your horse know that you are in control by giving clear orders. Use the same types of clucks and verbal commands (like “whoa”) during each session. Don’t let your horse get away with pulling you or changing directions without being asked.  Your horse will feel confident knowing that you are in control. If your horse is having a bad day, give them plenty of breaks. They might just need a rest. Before you can train specific skills in dressage, you need your horse to be able to maintain the same gait for an entire dressage test. Warm your horse up by walking, trotting, and cantering for a few minutes each. Then, ride your horse around the ring several times in a trot. This will help them find their rhythm. Responsiveness is key in dressage, and your horse will find it easier to respond when they’re easily able to move and follow cues. To practice circles, place a traffic cone or jump standard in the center of the ring.  Practice riding your horse in 20 metres (66 ft) circles around the cone. Using the reins, press the horse against your inside leg while turning in the circle. Their nose should be pointed slightly towards the cone as you ride in circles. Spend equal amounts of time riding clockwise and counterclockwise. Horses can get bored with routine. Mix things up by finding different ways to spend time together. You can take trail rides or practice low jumps in place of a more focused training session.
