Q: You should already have developed some ideas about this, but this is your last chance to choose the right attacker to send the ball to.  You can create advantageous situations for your team by being deceptive about where you are going to send the ball, potentially leaving the other team unprepared for which attacker will actually be spiking.  For example, you might slightly arch your back, as if you are going to back set, and then at the last second set the ball forward instead, or vice versa. You can also square up as if you are going to set the ball toward one player, especially one across the court, and instead execute a short set to an attacker in a different direction, such as off to your side.  After setting, turn and look toward the ball's final destination, to signal your own teammates.
A: Decide where to send the ball.

Q: Especially if the man who is asking you out is an acquaintance or a friend, you don't want to interrupt him while he's speaking to you.  Even if you know that he's going to ask you out, and you want to say no, you don't want to cut him off. Cutting him off while he's talking makes you appear overly eager to reject him and rude. Keep a respectful distance from him, and smile slightly. Don't move closer to him, or give him any body language indication that you might be interested. The worst thing you can do when you're politely rejecting someone is to string him along. It might hard for him to hear “no” at first, but it will be much nicer in the long run.   Don't make excuses. You don't need to lie. Unless it's true, don't tell him that you're in a relationship. Don't give him a line like, “I just got out of a relationship, and I'm not ready to date.” Even if this is true, it might give him false hope that you'll change your mind, and that's not fair to him. Be straight forward, and polite. Say something like, “You seem like a nice guy, but I just don't like you that way. I appreciate that you thought to ask me.” This makes your stance clear but still seems slightly softer than a blatant no. Keep it short. You don't need to give a long-winded rejection just to seem nice. If you genuinely would like to be friends with a guy who asks you out, let him know. This will soften your rejection, and let him know that you value him company, even if you're not interested in him romantically.  If you don't actually want to be friends with him, don't say you want to be friends. Simply tell him you're not interested and that you hope he has a nice day, and walk away. If you do tell him you want to be friends, make sure he knows that your feelings about the situation aren't going to change. You don't want to give him any false hope. Say something like, “Sorry, I'm not interested in you in a romantic way, but I know someone else will be. I like talking with you, and I'd love to be friends.” When you have to say no to someone in person, it does matter how you say it. This will affect how the man takes your answer.  Don't come across as defensive. You have every right to choose who you date. Being defensive can make you sound more aggressive or disgusted than you mean to sound. Speak with the tone of an apology. You want to sound open and apologetic, even while still being firm in your answer. Try to make eye contact with him at least once when you are speaking.
A: Listen to what he has to say. Just say no. Tell him if you want to be friends. Keep your tone polite.

Q: Both types of cacti can actually be replanted. The pads can be directly planted either in a pot or even simply laid atop fresh soil and will begin to root. Column branches will need to callous for a few days (depending on size) before replanting. If you do not want additional plants or the material is already dead, you can simply compost the plant as you would other organic matter to be used as fertilizer for your next gardening project. You could also consider gifting pieces that were pruned but still look pleasant! When collecting the diseased portions that were removed, take care not to let them contact other plants or soil. Bag the material and dispose of in your regular, un-recycled garbage. You can also take it directly to a landfill to ensure that the diseased material does not propagate to other gardens or growth areas.
A: Replant the healthy pieces. Compost dead or unwanted parts. Discard diseased material safely.

Q: Cover all of the gum's surface area, if possible. Be careful not to tape the entire strip of duct tape to the garment or fabric or getting it off will be doubly difficult. Remove gum from duct tape manually or cut off a new strip to repeat.
A:
Cut a strip of duct tape off its roll. Take the duct tape and press it firmly on the gum. Peel off taped area. Repeat until all the gum is removed.
