Article: The main reason to post while riding is to avoid being jostled around in the saddle during a particularly bumpy gait - the trot. This makes things more comfortable for the rider and is easier on the horse's back. Once you become more experienced with the rising trot, it is also possible to change the horse's rhythm simply by posting more quickly or slowly. The horse will alter his rhythm to match with your own, thus sometimes eliminating the need for hand and leg signals. Urge your horse into a steady forward trot. Now, pay attention to the horse's strides - notice how the trot has two beats? Good. This will help you to understand how posting works. During a trot, the horse's left hind leg and right front leg (which are diagonal to one another) move simultaneously, and vice versa. This is what riders are talking about when they refer to "diagonals" - the simultaneous movement of diagonal front and back legs. These diagonals will greatly influence your rising trot. When performed correctly, the rider will rise from his/her seat when the inside hind leg and outside front leg are moving forward and sit when the outside hind leg and inside front leg are moving forward. The reason for this is because the horse's inside hind leg is the one which propels him forward. Rising out of your seat while this leg is in motion will encourage the horse to stretch the leg further under his body, and therefore producing a more effective stride. At first, it can be difficult to tell which diagonal your horse is on. A good trick is to watch your horse's outside shoulder. You should rise out of your seat as his shoulder moves forward and sit back down as it moves back. If the movement is difficult to pinpoint, stick a bandage or piece of colored tape on the horse's shoulder. This makes the movement easier to see. Once you start posting your legs will likely be sore, but you'll gain more thigh muscles over time.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Understand why posting is done. Understand diagonals. Realize that posting should be done using your thigh muscles, not your legs.

Problem: Article: The official logo is a deep, dark green with noticeable teeth and claws. The top jaw is smaller than the bottom jaw and is angled upwards. The crocodile's tail should be rounded and point in the same direction as the jaw, not at the crocodile. The eye should also look more slit-like than rounded. If the crocodile looks cartoonish and lacks detail, the shirt is a sure fake. Lacoste's Vintage brand is an exception. The crocodile will be high-quality but the same color as the shirt. The logo is a patch that is lightly sewn on from behind. You won't see the stitching when you look at it from the front. Look out for stitching around the patch's border, loose threads, or needle hole marks. These are signs that the polo is a fake. On a few brands, such as the Vintage brand, the crocodile may be printed directly on the shirt. The crocodile will be in the middle of the left side of the shirt. It should be between the bottom stitching on the collar and the second button. Low-quality fakes often align the crocodile with the bottom stitching. That stitching may also appear crooked. A few real Lacoste versions also align the crocodile with the bottom stitching, so don't depend on this one observation. The outline of the crocodile's body should barely be visible. There won't be any colors, threads, or obvious stitching. If the finish doesn't look clean, the shirt is a fake.
Summary: Look for detailed features like claws and teeth. Make sure the logo is on a white background. Make sure the logo is under the second button. Turn the shirt inside-out to see the faint outline of the patch.

A great way to begin building accountability at work is seeking feedback from the people you work with. Depending on what your job entails, specifically regarding your position in a hierarchy, you can seek feedback from those above you, those on your level, and those under you. Your job may already have specific performance standards in place which are reviewed periodically by supervisors, but you can show your boss that accountability is important to you by actively seeking extra feedback about your performance. You might seek feedback regarding a specific project or assignment you recently finished, or you might want get a general idea for how you are doing. It's also good to seek feedback from the people you work with day to day, even when they have no power or authority over you. You need to know whether the people you work with can count on you or not. Be sure to ask questions that are specific to get the feedback you desire. For example, you might say something like, "I worked really hard on that presentation, but I'd love some feedback on where I could improve. Do you have any input?" As a manager, or any upper level position, you don't want to make all the decisions on your own and never ask how people feel you are leading. Approach subordinates in the right way so you don't seem like you lack authority. Just be genuine and tell those below you that you want to know how they think you are doing at your job. Try creating an anonymous survey that you can distribute to your employees. This may provide you with more honest feedback because they will be less likely to worry about the comments they make backfiring on them. Asking your boss, peers, and subordinates for feedback on your performance is useless if you don't take the feedback into consideration and find ways to implement it. Maybe you can't do exactly what the critique entails, but you can use it as a springboard for making changes. Make sure that you do not take the feedback personally. Look at it as an opportunity to improve. You may spend a lot of time working with a team, and the results are the culmination of everyone's effort. In some settings, it may be possible to hide or be a little dishonest about the work you accomplished. Being accountable means fully owning up to whatever comes of your work. This is hardest when you have made a mistake or have not quite made the best of an opportunity you have been given. It may feel natural to shift the blame or make excuses that focus on outside forces, but being upfront and honest about your work is an important aspect of accountability. Owning up to shortcomings will show the people you work with and for that you are not trying to hide anything. When you do mess up, and you have to be honest with someone about the mistake, it is always good to have an idea or plan for how to remedy the situation. Being honest and owning the mistake is the first step, but there is most likely still something that needs to happen. Having a solution to the problem ready when you admit the mistake will help ease the tension and show that you are not giving up. If you work in an office and you usually have your door open, try shutting it for a couple days. An open door invites people to stop and talk, even if it isn't about work. Closing the door more often will give you the privacy to focus more on work and less on interacting with people. Be sure to avoid digital distractions during this time as well. Log out of your social media accounts and shut off your phone. . In a given day of work, you might have five or more things that need to get done. However, not all of the tasks have the same level of priority. Get in the practice of working on the most important things first and putting off the things that can wait. For less important tasks, force yourself to limit how long you spend on them. Don't spend a whole hour clearing out spam email if someone is waiting for an email response from you. Knock out an important task that you know will take a while, and then balance it with a short, lower priority task. Alternating in this way can boost your efficiency. At the end of the day, or periodically throughout the day, write down what you do and how long you spend doing it. You may be surprised where your time actually goes. It's probably best not to show your boss this log, but it will help you see what is draining your time and you can work on reducing those time-wasters.
