Problem: Article: If you have an old mitten, you can use this to make a seasonal penguin doorstop. You will need an old black mitten, a needle and thread, a sewing machine, felt in orange, red, and white, Ziplock bags, 2 cups (~434 g) of sand, as well as a pair of sewing scissors. Turn the mitten inside out. Sew closed the thumb opening and then turn the mitten right side out. Take your white felt and cut an oval shape out of it, about half the length of the mitten. Sew it onto the mitten, a few inches below the top of the mitten. Cut a triangle shape out of the orange and sew it just above the top of the oval. Cut out 2 small circles, position them toward the top of the mitten as the penguin's eyes, and then sew on the top. Fill your Ziploc bag with sand and close it. Place this inside the mitten with the bag pointing upward. Then, sew closed the opening of the mitten. Cut a long strip of red felt and cut frays into the edges. Tie this around your penguin's neck as a scarf. Pick out an old shirt, quilt, or blanket you no longer use, as well as a pillow that's in need of a cover. You can make a beautiful pillow out of this old fabric. Trace out the shape you want. You aren't limited to a square shape, and in fact a small circular throw pillow may work best. You can use a pen or pencil to draw around the edge of the pillow on either side of the shirt, quilt, or blanket. Cut out your shape using sewing scissors.Then, pin the pieces together. You want the sides that will be the outside to be facing toward each other. This way, the seams will be invisible. Sew seams along 3 edges and three-fourths of the fourth edge. When you're done, turn the fabric right side out. Stuff polyfill stuffing, which you can buy at the craft store, through the hole that you left in the one edge. Make sure to stuff the pillow until you can't really fit anything else. When your pillow is completely stuffed, sew the open edge shut. Sturdy boot shafts work best for this project, but they aren't essential. You can also use old rain boots. If there are holes in the soles or cracks in the rubber, that's actually perfect, because you want them to drain a bit. The boot will look great on a porch or deck, especially if it is a bright color or pattern. Drill a few holes in the sole. This is only necessary if the boots are still watertight. Make small holes and just enough to provide some drainage. Put something heavy in the bottom. You can use gravel, pebbles, or anything else that will anchor the boot while still allowing it to drain. Fill each boot about halfway with potting soil. Place one flower or plant in each boot. You can use practically anything that doesn't require a lot of room for its roots. Top up the potting soil. Don't bury the roots too deep, especially if they tend to be shallow for that particular plant. You want enough to protect them.
Summary: Use a mitten to make a seasonal penguin doorstop. Make a pillow with an old shirt, quilt, or blanket. Make a planter with an old pair of boots.

Problem: Article: For example, 120 120 = Count the total number of zeros on the end. (In this case, 2). Do the rest of the problem. 12 12 = 144 Append the number of zeros counted to the end of the number; 14400 You might then be able to use some of the techniques below. For example: Instead of 14 6 break 14 down into 10 and 4, and multiply both by 6, then add them together...14 6 = = 6(10 + 4) = (10 6) + (4 6) = 60 + 24 = 84. For example: Instead of: 35 * 37 =? do this: 35 (35 + 2) = = 352 + (2 35) = 1225 + 70 = 1295 Using; 352 =? Ignoring the 5 on the end, multiple the number (3) by the next highest number (4). 3 4 = 12 Append 25 to the end of the number. 1225 Using 412 =? and 392 =? Figure the square you already know. 402 = 1600 Decide if you need to add or subtract. You will add with a larger square and subtract with a smaller one. Add the original number that was squared to the next number to be squared. 40 + 41 = 81 40 + 39 = 79. Make the addition or subtraction. 1600 + 81 = 1,681 ---> 412 = 1,681 1600 - 79 = 1,521 ----> 392 = 1,521 This only works for numbers one unit above or below the original. Using 39 51 =? Find the number that is equidistant of both numbers. In this case, 45, which is 6 away from both numbers. Square that number. 452 = 2025 Square the distance the numbers are from the central number. 62 = 36 Subtract that number from the first square. 2025 - 36 = 1989 If you have taken algebra, the formula is expressed as: 51 39 = (45 + 6)(45 - 6) = 452 -6 2( x + y )( x - y ) = x2 - y2 For a more complete explanation, see How to How to easily solve math problems using difference of squares. Using 25 12 =? Multiply by 100 by appending two zeros to the end of the other (not 25) number. 25 12 1200 Divide by 4. 1200 4 = 300 25 12 = 300 For more details, see How to Multiply by 25 in your head.
Summary: Manage numbers ending in 0 (zero). Use the distributive property of multiplication to convert difficult to multiply numbers to easy to multiply numbers. Square numbers ending in 5 (five). Square numbers one less or more than a square you already know. Simplify multiplication by using "Difference of Squares". Multiply by 25.

Problem: Article: If you are nervous about cleaning your eyebrows or maintaining them on your own, see a dermatologist or esthetician. They can advise you on how to keep your eyebrows clean. They may also suggest other eyebrow maintenance options like waxing or tweezing your eyebrows to keep them looking healthy and clean.
