Article: You do not want the system to have live power while you are making your connections. Turn the vehicle off and remove the cables from your battery. Connect the positive output wire to the positive wire of your first speaker. This may mean splicing the two wires together, but more often the amp is made to have the wire of the speaker inserted into an output jack. This step will be the same regardless of whether you are wiring in series or parallel. Each of the speakers that you are wiring in series will be connected to each other. This can be done by splicing the wires together. Each of the speakers that you are wiring in parallel will be connected to the output jack on the amp. You can wire some speakers in series and some in parallel within the same system to reach the desired impedance/power values. This will be done by making the final connection and creating a "loop." Connect the negative wire of the last speaker in any series, and the negative wires of all speakers in parallel, to the negative port of the output jack on the amp. Now you can connect the ground cable on your battery and restore power to the vehicle. This step is what it's all about. Enjoy your music, and make sure that everyone else does to!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Unplug your battery terminals. Wire the amp to your first speaker. Connect the remaining speakers. Close the circuit. Connect your battery cable. Turn up the music.
Article: When you don't write down your assignments, they clutter up your already-busy mind. Writing down due dates and test days will help you keep track of it all. Schools assign a lot of work, and if you often get confused about where to start, you're not alone. Take into consideration due date, grade value, and what teacher assigned it. If you have a math test worth 20% of your grade tomorrow, you should probably save the project due next month for another time. However, if it's a quiz worth 5 points, you might want to focus on the project. Keep in mind, also, the strictness of the teacher you're dealing with. Will the teacher fail you if you don't hand a paper in the minute she asks for it? If so, focus on her assignments. If your teacher is more relaxed about due dates, you can probably hand in a paper a day late or so without a problem. If you have a large project to do, dedicate a bit of time to it each day so you don't have to worry about the due date. The very concept of big project can cause stress; the bit-by-bit method will make it seem much less intimidating. Many people feel guilty about saying no and end up agreeing to do everything that is asked of them. If you have too much on your plate, say so! You'll thank yourself for it in the long run. Sometimes you just need to put the work away for a minute to calm down. Taking breaks is among the methods you can use to relieve stress. Others include taking a walk, getting some fresh air, reading, listening to some music, or having tea or hot chocolate. Try different things to see what soothes you. When you find what works, use it when you're stressed, but also on a daily basis to keep your brain relaxed so that when a challenge comes, you'll be ready to deal with it without stress. Controlled breathing might help if you don't have any options. Taking deep, slow breaths gives you something else to focus on and supplies your body with more oxygen for thinking things over. If you finished seven assignments last night and didn't have time for an eighth, be proud of what you accomplished. Worrying over what you could have done doesn't help. Sometimes you can't do everything, and that's okay! Take pride in your efforts.

Have a planner or calendar. Prioritize. Don't procrastinate. Be willing to say no. Have stress-relieving methods. Focus on your achievements.
Article: You want to get a sense of what potential buyers are looking for in their homes. This could vary quite a bit by neighborhood. Check out area business commentary, surveys, reports, and talk to realtors if they are willing to discuss buyer general interests. You want to get sense of consumer tastes. Think about asking people close to you what they would be interested in seeing for a new home--especially if a friend or family member is actually in the market. You can do this to either see if they want to hire you as a stager, or at least get information on potential clients. Offer to do a couple of free stagings for the realtor to demonstrate your abilities. Get permission to put your business card or a small sign with your name and contact information on an early display when you do them. This will showcase your skills for the realtor and customers in addition to perhaps getting the realtor's reports on buyer interests and referrals. Many cities have a local real estate publication or might allow a contribution on matters of decoration in the local newspaper. Look up the real estate publication's submission guidelines, and do the same for the newspaper regarding contributions. Contact the appropriate editor saying something such as: "I am a local home stager, I would like to write for your publication about my strategy for making a room look warmer." or "I would like to submit an article about home decoration." Proceed according to the editor's instructions. If they are not taking any submissions then you should move onto another venue. Ask the realtors you network with about cleaners, repair crews, painters, and other similar workers they recommend to homeowners when trying to improve a house for sale. You may want to check the contractors against the Better Business Bureau reports to see if any problems come up. Look for reviews online and/or from other realtors and homeowners that used the contractors to get a reasonable idea of each one's cost, speed of service, and capabilities in case you need them to help with your staging projects later on. For example, if you find a painter that is fast and can do large homes, but is too costly, you may not get many customers when you start-up with no established reputation. On the other hand, a handyman that has a reputation for cheap, safe, and efficient electrical work might be useful if you need to alter lighting in a room.
