Problem: Article: You may feel like the absolute last resort is to actually talk to your boss about the problems you're having, but that's where you're mistaken. If you really want to improve your relationship with your boss instead of waiting for things to get worse, then the best thing you can do is ask your boss if you can schedule a time to talk and be honest about your feelings while maintaining your professionalism. Once you have face time with your boss, make eye contact, speak clearly, and let him or her know what the problem is. Make sure you focus on how your problem is with working with your boss, not your actual boss or some aspect of his or her personality. Talk about how you're having trouble communicating, which is making it more difficult to meet objectives, or say something else about how you're struggling to meet deadlines because of changing expectations. Frame the conversation so it sounds like you want your company to succeed, which can only happen if you and your boss work better together. It's important to choose your words carefully. Avoid any personal attacks that may offend your boss, and focus on discussing your work. Picking a time to talk in advance will keep your boss from being caught off guard and will give the situation the seriousness that it deserves. If you really want to improve your relationship with your boss, then you should work with your boss to improve the state of your company, instead of against your boss. Though it may feel good to make your boss look stupid at a meeting or to send a passive-aggressive email to your boss, in the long run, this won't do any good for your relationship and it won't make you feel any better. Furthermore, making your relationship with your boss even worse will make it harder to get your work done, and at the end of the day, nothing is more counterproductive than that. Help your boss achieve his goals by being helpful, present, and supportive. Even if he's difficult to deal with, your life will be easier if you move with the grain instead of against it. Keeping track of all of your conversations, whether it's through emails or memos, will help you be on top of your situation with your boss. Doing so will be helpful for two reasons. First, having a record or everything your boss said will help you in the event that your boss gives you confusing instructions or claims he or she didn't say something that he or she really said; you can use the written communication as evidence. Second, having a record of everything your boss says to you can be helpful if your relationship is so problematic that you want to discuss the situation with a supervisor; in that case, you'll have written proof that something is off. If you're really struggling to communicate with your boss, then try to make sure that all of your communication happens in front of someone else, so that you have evidence of what happened if your boss tries to deny it. Document everything that you feel is relevant to your concerns with your boss. You may want to purchase a pocket planner so that you can enter the issues on the appropriate dates. Keep this private. You don't want to pull put the planner and scribble notes in front of him because that will cause more anger. You are keeping notes for your own sake, so that you have all your concerns backed up with facts. Another way to improve your relationship with your boss is to keep an eye out for problems that may arise, and to react to them with preparation and forethought. If you know that there was a bad traffic accident on the freeway and that your boss is going to come in late, try to delay the meeting until he gets there, or start it off for him. If you know your boss is going to be angry after meeting with a difficult client, give him or her some space instead of bringing up something upsetting, which may start an argument. If you know that your boss has difficulty accomplishing a certain task, try to keep yourself relatively free so you can be there to help out.
Summary: Talk to your boss about it. Work with your boss instead of against him or her. Keep track of all of your conversations. Anticipate problems before they come up.

Problem: Article: To do this, open the Minecraft launcher, and select "New Profile" in the bottom-left corner to open the Profile Editor menu. In the Profile Name box at the top, enter "snapshot," and in the Version Selection section, check the first box labeled "Enable experimental development versions ('snapshots')." In the Use Version drop-down menu, select "Snapshot 14w28b," and then click "Save profile" in the bottom-right corner. Just left-click the drop-down menu in the bottom-left corner of the launcher, and select the snapshot. This should include coordinates for your character's current location as well as coordinates for the block they are looking at. <x1> <y1> <z1> This is the starting block that you wish to clone. <x2> <y2> <z2> This is the ending block in an area that you want to clone. The area connects the first coordinate and the second coordinate in a 3D block . <x> <y> <z> This is the place where the cloned land will appear. The chat box allows you to insert various console commands in addition to talking to other players. Type it in to fill in each set of coordinates based on the ones you determined earlier. Do not include the angle brackets in your command, and make sure that they are separated by a space. The area will then appear at the <x> <y> <z> coordinate.
