For example: "After doing 30 minutes of math's study, I am allowed to have a small square of chocolate." It is also good to include physical movement breaks as a reward; for example, after 1-hour study, allow yourself a five-minute walk or stretch before coming back to the books.  While this may be hard a lot of the time, try to inject enjoyment into some of the studying. If something really interests you, learn more about it in your own way and become more knowledgeable in it so that you can wow the teacher. Hermione doesn't do this, but it can help you to study if you're so inclined. You could listen to all sorts of genres, like Blues, Jazz, R&B, Pop Rock, etc... Whatever floats your boat. However usually music with no lyrics works the best so that you are not getting distracted by what is being sung in the song. Hermione often studied in the Gryffindor common room with the other Gryffindors. The library is another place where you are communally linked in silence; it's quite a nice thing to not be alone when studying; you can share the agony around.  To make studying more interesting, maybe try doing it with a friend but a friend with whom you won't get distracted. Study groups may help also.

Summary: Give yourself goals or rewards for studying if you don't like it. If you really don't like the subjects, write Potions instead of Science or maybe Maths to Arithmancy. Have fun while you're studying. Listen to some music. Study with others.


Choose a good place, away from highways and traffic and set all brakes.  Park on a level surface with good footing (preferably not pavement). Park in the shade if possible. Unloading properly is just as important as loading properly to minimize risk of injury to your horse and yourself.  Attach the lead rope and untie the horse from the trailer. Lower the ramp doors and release the butt bar. It is safest to teach your horse to back up on command. If you or an assistant enter the trailer to back him out, make sure to speak to him as you approach so he knows you are there. Back him slowly out of the trailer, making sure there are no obstructions such as the lead rope tangled around his legs. It may be possible to turn the horse around in a large trailer so he doesn't have to back out. Never stand behind the horse as he could injure you (and himself) if he decides to bolt out of the trailer. Once outside, tie him to the trailer or other safe space. Check for injuries and offer him some water.

Summary: Park again. Remove the horse from the trailer.


”  Connecting with new parent friends can come with all the same worries of a first-date. To feel better prepared, come up with one or two questions you can ask another parent to get a conversation going.  Good conversation-starters may include asking “How old is your baby?” or “What's his name?” Try to relax as you start connecting with other parents. This should be easier to do than engaging in a more stressful situation, such as on a date. All parents turn googly-eyed when admiring their children; new parents are no different. A terrific way to break the ice with another new parent is simply to compliment them on their baby. You can say something like “I know you must hear this often, but your baby's smile is infectious” or “That dress is absolutely adorable. May I ask where you got it?” There's a chance you're a relatively shy or introverted person. If this describes your situation, you may feel awkward approaching a stranger. One way to reduce the pressure is to look for naturally-occurring ways to start a conversation with another new parent, such as when your babies “talk” to each other at the doctor's office or when one infant's crying sets off another. During such situations, it can be slightly easier to say to another mom or dad “Well, look at that. Someone's made a new friend” or “He's teething and really fussy lately. Is your baby teething yet?” Shake off your first-date jitters with the knowledge that you aren't alone in this journey. While you may feel a little awkward trying to “pick-up” a stranger, the other parent will likely be grateful for a chance to chat or plan a play-date.  Keeping this knowledge at the forefront of your mind makes forging a new parent friendship easier. Plus, if a connection doesn't pan out, there's no need to take it personally. The other parent may already have too many friends and not be in the market for new pals. Also, keep in mind that that all first-time parents are going through a similar transition. You may even want to acknowledge that up front as an icebreaker when meeting another new parent.

Summary: Establish a “pick-up line. Make a compliment. Let your babies do the talking. Remember that you're not alone.


The first time you make a map, it's a set size; you can increase the size of the map up to four times (doubling it each time), allowing for a more comprehensive map of the world. You cannot expand a map in the Legacy Console versions of Minecraft. This is the version of Minecraft that was originally released for the Xbox 360/One and the PlayStation 3/4. You'll need eight pieces of paper for each zoom level (up to 32 pieces total). If you don't have at least 8 pieces of paper, craft more before proceeding. Select the crafting table to do so. If you're using Minecraft on mobile, you'll need an anvil for this step instead. Click your map, then click the center square in the crafting grid. On mobile, tap the left-most square on the anvil's interface, then tap your map. Click your stack of paper, then right-click each empty space around the map at least once. On mobile, tap the middle square in the interface, then tap your paper. You should see a yellow map icon appear to the right of the crafting interface; click it, then click your inventory.  If you added two or more pieces of paper to each crafting square, you can add back the map to create another zoomed-out version. On mobile, tap the resulting map in the far-right box to move it into your inventory. By placing the zoomed-out map back in the center of the crafting grid and surrounding it with paper again, you can zoom out your map once again. This process can be repeated up to three times after the initial expansion. to document more of the world. By equipping the map and walking around with it, you'll be able to add the world's landmarks to the map.
Summary: Understand how expanding works. Craft more paper if necessary. Open your crafting table. Place your map in the middle. Surround the map with paper. Move the resulting map into your inventory. Repeat this process up to three more times. Use the map
