Q: The more that you practice giving it, the more natural you'll feel saying the words. Try to memorize parts of the speech that require extra emphasis or power. If you stumble on your words, go over the part that you messed up several times so that you don't mess up when you deliver the real thing. Get someone to watch you deliver the speech, and ask for feedback. You can ask your friend whether they thought the speech was moving or powerful, if they were bored, or if there was anything they didn't understand. You can also memorize the speech so that you don't have to read it when you're delivering it. If you practice enough, you many naturally memorize parts of the speech. Make eye contact with different people in the audience to connect with them on a deeper level. Lift your chin and straighten your back so that you can project your voice and give off a sense of confidence. Use large, steady strides when walking up to the podium so that you don't come off as flustered or nervous. Pick a tone of voice that already matches what your voice sounds like. For instance, if you're soft-spoken, you can try to come off as friendly and personable. If you have a loud, defined voice, you can try to come off as confident and in command. When speaking in public, it's important that you project your voice so everyone in the room can hear you. This is why you should generally speak louder than you normally do. Make sure you breathe and take your time when delivering the speech. If you talk too fast, people will miss what you're saying and you may come off as nervous and unsure of yourself. Pause before you say a main point to make it stick out in people's minds. Often, people will think that they are speaking much quicker than they really are. Former U.S. President Barack Obama used pauses to emphasize points in his speeches frequently.
A: Practice delivering the speech before you give it. Stand up straight and convey confident body language. Speak loudly and decide on which tone of voice you want to use. Pace yourself and pause to make important points.

Q: Sink strainers are always made of metal, but most modern homes have white PVC drain pipes. You'll find either a PVC or metal coupling nut connecting these two components beneath your sink. Loosen this nut to separate them. You should be able to loosen a PVC nut by hand, turning it counterclockwise. Wrap a towel around the nut to help you get a better grip on it. A metal nut may also require the use of a pipe wrench or large adjustable wrench. If you wish, you may also be able to disconnect the drain pipe at the top of the trap (the U-shaped bend) in order to give yourself more room to work with. If the strainer is spinning counterclockwise along with the nut as you loosen it, you'll need to hold it still from above. Insert a pair of needle-nose pliers or a sink drain wrench down into the sink and pinch the strainer grate (not the removable strainer basket) to immobilize the entire strainer. You may be able to hold the pliers with one hand and loosen the nut with the other, or you may need to recruit a helper. This would be a good helper job for an older kid or teen. If you have trouble squeezing the pliers, you can also insert the handles of the pliers into the openings of the strainer grate, then stick a screwdriver between the handles and hold it steady to immobilize the sink strainer. Locknut sink strainers have a large locking nut that feeds onto threads on the outside of the strainer itself. This in turn presses a washer and gasket against the underside of the sink. Most modern sinks have locknut sink strainers. There are also locknut strainers with screw attachments, in which 3 or 4 screws are used to help hold the locknut tight against the underside of the sink. Bell washer sink strainers have an outer bell-shaped "shell" that fits over the entire strainer. This bell housing is pressed against the underside of the sink by a nut located at the bottom of the strainer (just above the nut that connects to the drain pipe below).
A: Loosen the coupling nut that connects the strainer to the drain pipe. Stabilize a spinning strainer in order to remove a stubborn nut. Determine the type of sink strainer you have.

Q: Click or double-click the Skype app icon, which resembles a white "S" on a blue background. If you aren't signed into your Skype account, enter your email address (or phone number) and password to log in. It's a person-shaped icon in the top-left corner of the Skype window. This is the text box at the top of the Contacts window. Doing so will search Skype for your specified contact. Click the profile of a person whom you want to invite to be your contact. It's in the middle of the page. Doing so opens a window with a message in it. This is at the bottom of the window. Doing so sends a Skype invitation to the person; if they accept the invitation, you'll be able to chat with them. You can first edit the invitation message by typing your preferred message into the text box that appears. If your friend doesn't already have a Skype account, you can invite them to create one and join you on Skype by doing the following: Click the "Contacts" icon. Click Invite People to Skype. Click Invite via email. Enter the email address of the person you want to invite in the "To" line. Click the paper airplane icon.
