One of the more annoying aspects of playing online is having to hear inactive microphones picking up background noise. Doing the same with your microphone is a good way to get your account muted in-game as well as reported for harassment if the behavior continues in subsequent matches. Even though a fair amount of players will insult or belittle you while you play online, ignoring them is a much better course of action than responding. You can typically press the "Back" button in the middle-left side of your controller to bring up a list of in-game players, at which point you can select players' names and press A to mute them. Though some rules--such as refraining from harming team mates--are universal, most games have online-specific etiquette that you'll have to learn as you play. One way to get a jump-start on this information is by browsing the game's community forums or by observing other players' gameplay. For example: while not explicitly stated in the game, healing yourself during a player-versus-player fight in Dark Souls is widely regarded as a dishonorable thing to do. Online gaming can be an inherently lonely process, but if you're a part of a team, you should take actions that benefit the team as a whole, not just yourself. If you're not prepared to "play the objective", consider playing a game type that doesn't emphasize teamwork. An example of this concept might be leaving powerful equipment, weapons, or vehicles for another team mate if you know you aren't well-equipped to handle them. If you're playing a game without a team dynamic, ignore this step. If your character is simply standing around in an ongoing multiplayer game while you're doing something else, you become a liability for your team. If you aren't completely committed to the notion of playing a round in your game, consider waiting to jump into a match until you're ready. Quitting early both lets your team down and marks your account as a poor sportsmanship profile, meaning that if you do it often enough, you won't get invited to matches. Complaining that a game was unfair or that the results of a match aren't right doesn't change anything, and it can hurt the experience for other players. There will be times where the outcome actually isn't fair, of course, but try to remember that the same goes for instances in which you were on a team that unfairly won. People on Xbox LIVE also tend to dislike complaints about poor Internet connections (e.g., "lag"). More than anything else, your best course of action while playing online is to respect the people with whom you're playing.

One-sentence summary -- Don't plug in your microphone if you're not using it. Refrain from trash-talking other players. Learn the game's online community guidelines. Play with your team's well-being in mind. Attend the game you're playing. Finish your match. Accept game outcomes. Be kind.

Q: To teach a dance to a group of people, you're going to need a decent amount of space so that people can move around. A studio space with a mirror is ideal, so that your students can see themselves in the mirror. If you can't get a studio, a gym is also a good space. Another option is an outdoor tennis or basketball court. Chunking is a method in which you divide the dance into sections and give each section a name. This method is especially helpful when teaching longer dances to your dancers. This will also be helpful when you want to rerun sections. Instead of trying to describe the movement, you can say "Go to the 'Windmill' section." People remember better in small portions, so chunking will also help your dancers retain the choreography more easily. Just because you've sketched out a clear sequence of steps doesn't mean that sequence can't change in rehearsal. Allow your dancers to experiment with adding their own unique flair to the dance. However, even if your dancers aren't skilled enough to add new moves, you still need to be willing to adapt. For instance, if a transition proves to be too difficult for the group, you may need to modify it a bit to make it easier. Watch as the dancers perform, and if they're doing something you like, make a note of it and add it to your choreography. Keep in mind, it's easier to be flexible and change choreography if you're working with a smaller group of dancers. Always pay attention to how the dance is working. Sometimes, certain sequences just don't work in a group, or a group doesn't have the skill level to execute what you want. One way to help your dancers see what they're doing wrong is to use visual feedback. You can record dancers individually with a smartphone, and then play it back for them. Alternatively, you can break up in pairs and have each person record the other. One plus of using pairs is the partners can film individual sequences over and over again until each person gets it right. If you film each student, try reviewing the video one-on-one with each student to encourage them and help them figure out how to do better. Some people have dance backgrounds while others are reluctant dancers at best. Be patient when teaching the choreography and don't worry if some of your dancers are struggling with the moves. Tell the dancers to practice the choreography before the next rehearsal. The more the dancers run the moves, the more comfortable they will get and the better the dance will look.
A: Find the right space. Experiment with chunking. Allow your dance to adapt. Use visual feedback. Don't get frustrated.

Article: Depending on the setting, an apology may be seen as an admission of guilt, especially if you are apologizing on behalf of your company to customers. If you or your company is not at fault for what happened, you do not need to issue an apology. Don't take responsibility for things that are not your fault, and you will avoid over-apologizing, which can weaken your image with co-workers or customers. It is certainly appropriate to express empathy, but you should avoid taking responsibility. You can tell people "I'm disappointed to hear that," and offer to help resolve the problem, but avoid saying "I'm sorry." If you are apologizing on behalf of a business to your customers, this may be seen as an admission of responsibility, and you may be held legally and financially liable. Make sure you discuss what happened with a lawyer to discuss any potential legal difficulties before apologizing. This isn't effective for lots of the smaller mistakes that may happen with customers daily, so you may consider creating company policies for certain mistakes, and how your employees should handle them. If your customers are angry or upset with something your business has done, you need to move quickly. They are more likely to listen to an explanation if you issue it as soon as possible. The longer you delay saying anything, the more angry the future recipient will be. While there are times when you should delay apologizing in order to consult with other people, such as a lawyer, it is important that you get on that as quickly as possible so you can get your message out as soon as you can. Depending on the nature of your error, including what you did and who it was against, there are different mediums you can use to respond. If your mistake was one that affected all of your clients, an email is a good choice. If your error was posting an offensive or inappropriate message through social media, using that platform as a place to express your contrition. If you need to apologize to someone in your own company, or to a specific client, try to arrange for a face-to-face meeting. If you can't be in the same place, try video-conferencing, then a phone call. The closer you are able to get to the person you are apologizing to, the better. This will make you look more serious when offering your apology. Once you have apologized, and the apology has been accepted, you both need to be prepared to move past it. Hanging on to the issue will only make the situation more difficult to handle. This goes for recipients too. If someone apologizes to you, and you accept it, there is no need to dwell on the mistake any longer. Bringing it up again will look petty or unprofessional.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Make sure it is appropriate. Act quickly. Find the appropriate medium for your apology. Move on after apologizing.
