Problem: Article: It is very refreshing and it can clear your mind between subjects, which could improve your productivity, but don't get too carried away. Upbeat music without lyrics is less distracting than songs with lyrics, as your brain will try to focus on the words being sung. Before you go to bed at night, be sure to use your childhood gift of imagination and think about where you see yourself in the future. How likely you will be able to achieve that dream without having sufficient focusing skills. Even if your dream isn't academic based, perhaps you are interested in sports and music, remember that you still need good focus skills to be, for example, a football player. Don't get distracted at school. Be a smart person and do the right things.
Summary: Listen to music during your break. Visualize your future.

Problem: Article: For best results, the plow pulled by the tractor must be level from side to side and from front to back. The more plow blades on the rig, the more important levelness is. To level the plow, take it to a concrete pad in your driveway or some other place that is perfectly flat. One of the two lower bars will be made for angling the plow from side to side. There are normally levers for the two hydraulic arms. The first lifts both arms up and down. The second is for the plow draft, or side-to-side angle. Adjust this lever until the plow is flat from one side to the other on the concrete (you can lay a carpenter's level on it to check). If there isn't a plow draft lever, there should at least be a manual crank on the one arm that you can turn to adjust the angle. Next, adjust the third upper arm so that the plow is level front to back. It may need further adjusting when you start plowing, as the plow should be level when it is sunk into the dirt and plowing. When you're using a mechanical rig, you can use hydraulic controls to change the depth of the plows as you work. You want the plow blades deep enough that they turn over the top layer of soil. However, the plow shouldn't be so deep that it is causes the tractor to labor hard. The exact way to adjust the plow's depth will vary from rig to rig. There is normally a depth stop on the up and down lever for the plow's hydraulic arms. Set it so your plow stops at the proper depth each time you get to the end of your row and need to turn around and drop the plow again. If the tractor starts pulling to hard raise the plow up a little then let it back down while keeping going. If the ground is wet and you start spinning your wheels, pull the plow up fast Position your tractor with the plowing rig hitched behind it in the corner of your field. Start plowing your field in rows, using the hydraulic controls to lower the plows into the dirt. When you reach the end of a row, raise the plows out of the ground as you turn, then lower them again for the next row. When using a tractor, you want to space out your furrows carefully because these will be the low, wet spots in the field. After you plow each row, there will be a rut at the one side of where you just plowed. When you turn around, your inside tractor's tire should go into this rut. The next swipe should plow the dirt from the next row over into that rut, covering it up. When you're using a tractor to plow a large field, you need to worry about soil erosion. One way to fight this is to plow the end rows (the rows along the shorter edges of the field) at 90 degrees to your main rows. This way, the raises and furrows act as a protective barrier from wind and rain, keeping the soil from washing away. If you're not dealing with a perfectly rectangular field, your end rows may not be perfectly 90 degrees. This is OK just get the opposing edges of the field as perpendicular to the main rows as possible.
Summary: Level the plowing rig. Set the depth for your plow. Plow in even rows. Plow your end rows perpendicular to the rest.

Problem: Article: You may also gain citizenship by applying for a job in another country. Some countries allow individuals who have legally entered the country on a work visa to convert their visa status to permanent residency and then to citizenship. For example, in Australia you can apply for a number of categories of employment visas that have their own requirements. One type is called a Skilled-Independent Visa and it allows you to enter Australia with the intention of working in Australia as long as you meet the criteria. If you spend four consecutive years in Australia under the visa, then you become eligible for Australian citizenship. In many countries, the first step to becoming a citizen is to apply for residency. Once you become a resident, you may then apply for citizenship through naturalization. Eligibility requirements vary from country to country. For example, in the United States you can qualify for permanent residency through the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. This program randomly draws from a pool of individuals who are from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. Check to see if the country in which you are interested in acquiring a second citizenship has a similar route to acquiring residency. Once you acquire residency and meet any other criteria, then you can apply for citizenship. Keep in mind that not all countries permit dual citizenship. If you acquire citizenship of a state through a work visa, visa lottery, or other program, then you may be required to renounce your prior citizenship. If that is the case, you cannot become a dual citizen by following this route.
Summary: Apply for an employment visa. Apply for residency through special immigration programs. Confirm the laws regarding dual citizenship of both the countries.

Problem: Article: This file will contain a class you can include in other PHP scripts when you want it to log a hit. Create local class members to hold your credentials and the database connection info. In the constructor, you should establish the database connection and initialize the hit counts at zero. These methods can be called from any other script that instantiates the HitCounter class. Add a method for processing views. This method gets called on every page load that should be counted towards a hit. Add a getter for the total views. This will get called in places where you want to show the total view count. Add a getter for the unique hits. You'll call this where you want to show the unique view count. These methods do the brunt of the work for the hit counter. They're marked private so that they can only be used internally. getData() retrieves the current view counts from the database. If there isn't any data, it sets this data to zero. isNewVisitor() determines whether the visitor has already visited our website in their current session visit() increments the total hit counter, and increments the unique visitor counter if the user has not visited the website in their current session.
Summary:
Create a new file called "HitCounter.php". Stub out the HitCounter class. Write the constructor. Write the public functions. Fill in the remaining helper methods.
