Avoid looking down at your board. You might lose balance or cause the front of your board to dip and throw you into the water. Avoid turning the actual board to steer as you’ll likely fall. Applying pressure to your toes (the front edge of the board) and your heels (the back edge of the board) will cause your board to carve through the water and turn. If you catch yourself raising the handle or holding it up to your chest, steadily move it back down. Holding the handle high up when you’re wakeboarding may cause you to fall. Falling into the water on a wakeboard can be painful, but it’s important not to panic. Once the driver has turned the boat around, signal to them that you’re OK. If you want to try again, wait for the driver to put the boat in neutral and then grab hold of the tow rope handle. Get back into starting position and signal to the driver that you’re ready to start.

One-sentence summary -- Look straight ahead. Lean into your heels and toes to steer your board. Keep the tow rope handle in line with your hip. Wait for the boat driver to retrieve you if you fall.

Q: It is much easier and more effective to clean your shoe laces once they have been removed from the shoes. Place the laces, still inside the laundry bag, in the washing machine and launder with detergent and 1/2 cup of bleach in hot water. To avoid damage to the aglets and shrinkage of the laces, do not put them in a dryer. This can damage elastic fibers or structures that make the shoe stay laced longer. It may take several hours for your laces to dry completely.
A: Remove the laces from the shoes. Wash the laces in the washing machine. Hang the laces over a sink or towel and allow them to air dry.

Article: Many of the products that form these natural ant barriers are probably already in your kitchen; they just need to be deployed properly. A barrier doesn't need to be wider than a ¼ of an inch (6.35mm) but it must form an unbroken line. Use barriers on places like sills, floors, counters, and around ant access points. Some of the items with which you can form barriers include:  Powdered charcoal A line of chalk Turmeric Cinnamon Citrus oil Black pepper, cayenne pepper, or red chili pepper. Vaseline (great for doors and windows) Baby powder Powdered cleanser White vinegar and water Desiccating dusts (such as diatomaceous earth or silica aerogel) Ants dislike various scents. Some of these include peppermint, camphor, and garlic. These can be used fresh or in oil form as a deterrent for ants in an area of your home. Use camphor with caution, as it is poisonous to humans and animals.  The great thing about these fragrant deterrents is that your own preferences for scent can be used to improve the overall smell of your household odors. Sprinkle crushed mint leaves in ant infested rooms and grow mint near the entrance areas. Dried peppermint is also effective.  Rub a raw clove of garlic over ant trails and entrances. Sprinkle lavender oil in ant afflicted areas and grow lavender near their entrances. Spread some oil of clove in ant zones or crush cloves and sprinkle it as a barrier. Ants are especially attracted to sugar, paprika, and flour. Put bay or bay laurel leaves in your sugar can, flour container, and paprika jar. Over time, the ant repelling strength of these leaves and lose potency. Replace these every month for best results. This is not a danger to kids, so it's a great technique to use where children congregate, such as at school. It's also pet safe, making this a great option if you have animals. Sprinkle Splenda over the trails of any ants you see. Once the ants consume the Splenda, they should die shortly after the fact. Be sure to replenish your Splenda as necessary. Spread coffee grounds on ant hills and along your house foundation. This safe material confuses the worker ants because they lose their scent trails. This causes the hatched young in the ant colonies to have no food and starve.  Be persistent and patient with your use of grounds. It may take a season before you start noticing an effect. It is important to reapply grounds every year, at minimum. Refreshing grounds more frequently will have a stronger, more immediate effect. Combine a small amount of dish soap and baking soda in a bucket half filled with water. Agitate this mixture with your hand or a stirring implement. Spread a thin line of this liquid along area where ants are coming in. This technique is a great solution for dealing with ants that are invading windowsills.

Article: Most modern TVs have at least one full-size (Type A) HDMI port, which is 13.9 mm x 4.45 mm in size. These ports are usually labeled "HDMI." If there is more than one port, each will be labeled with a number (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2). Some TVs also have HDMI ports on the front or side panel. If the device has the same size HDMI port as your TV (Type A/13.99 mm x 4.45 mm), you'll just need a standard Type-A HDMI cable, which has the same 19-pin connector on both sides. However, some devices (often cameras and portable media players) have smaller HDMI ports, which means you'll need a different type of cable:    Type C/Mini-HDMI: This type of HDMI port is often found on somewhat older DSLR cameras and camcorders. The dimensions are 10.42 mm x 2.42 mm, which is a lot smaller than Type A. If your device has this port, you'll need a Mini-HDMI-C to HDMI-A cable.  Type D/Micro-HDMI: Even smaller than the Type C, this 6.4 mm x 2.8 mm port is commonly found on small recording devices such as the GoPro and some smartphones. You'll need a Micro HDMI-D to HDMI-A cable in this situation. Turn on the device you want to connect to the TV, and then gently insert the matching end of the cable into its HDMI port. You should only be able to insert the HDMI plug into the port in one direction. Never force the cable plug into the port since doing so could damage both the cord and the device. Turn on the TV if you haven't already done so, and then connect the cable securely. If your TV has multiple HDMI ports, take note of the HDMI port number you're using. Use the SOURCE or INPUT button on your TV or remote to select the HDMI port. You'll usually have to press it a few times until you reach the right port number. Once you reach the correct source, you should see the device's image on the screen.  If you're using Windows, press ⊞ Win+P to open the Windows Project panel, and then select an option for displaying the screen on the TV. If you want to mirror the desktop, for example, select Duplicate. If you have a Mac, the screen should automatically be mirrored on the TV. If the dimensions look funny, navigate to Apple menu > System Preferences > Displays > Display and select Default for display. If you need to enter a specific resolution, chose Scaled instead and enter that resolution now. If you've connected a computer to the TV and want to make sure the audio comes through the TV's speakers, follow these steps:   Mac: Navigate to Apple menu > System Preferences > Sound > Output and select your TV or HDMI output.  Windows: Right-click the volume icon in the system tray (next to the clock), select Sound Settings, and select your computer's default audio device, often called Speakers (High Definition Audio), from the "Choose your output device" menu.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Locate an available HDMI port on your TV. Get the right HDMI cable. Connect one end of the cable to the device. Connect the other end of the cable to the TV. Switch to the HDMI source on your TV. Configure your computer's audio to route through the TV (optional).
