Problem: Article: Put small sugar crystals or sanding sugar in a medium-sized bowl. Then, roll the cake pops around in the sprinkles. Shake out the cake pops to remove any excess sprinkles and stand the cake pops upright so they can dry. Another option is to take a handful of sprinkles and drop them onto the wet cake pops. This can give the cake pops a lighter sprinkle decoration. Put a bowl or plate below the cake pops so you can collect the excess sprinkles and reuse them. Place chopped peanuts, walnuts, pecans, or cashews in a bowl. Then, take a wet cake pop and roll it around in the chopped nuts to coat it. Use your fingers to drop chopped nuts on the sides of the cake pop so it is covered. Add chopped candy pieces to the wet cake pops. Roll them around in the chopped candy so they get a nice coating. Put buttercream frosting in a small piping bag with a narrow tip. Then, hold the coated cake pop in one hand and pipe the frosting onto the cake pop with the other. Spin the cake pop around in your hand as you add the frosting to make a spiral design, vertical lines, or a horizontal line design. Put a plate underneath the cake pop as you pipe on the frosting so it can catch any excess frosting or frosting that drips down. Another option is to put small dots of frosting on the cake pops for a fun design or write letters or shapes with the frosting. Frosting looks best on cake pops that have already been dipped in candy coating. Pick 2-3 different colors of candy coating. Melt them in separate bowls. Then, dip the cake pop in the first color and let it harden. Once it has dried, dip it half way into the second color and let it harden. Finally, dip it 1/4 of the way into the third color and let it dry for a layered color look. You may use white for the base color to make the other colors stand out. Try layering colors like blue, red, and white, or green, purple, and pink. Look for shimmering food coloring at your local grocery store or baking supply shop. It usually comes in the form of a spray. Apply a few spritzes of the shimmering food coloring to give the cake pops a nice, even color. Use an iridescent shimmering food coloring for a pretty, shiny sheen to the cake pops. Shimmering food coloring looks best on cake pops that have already been dipped in candy coating.
Summary: Dip wet, coated cake pops in sprinkles. Add chopped nuts or candy pieces to wet, coated cake pops. Pipe frosting onto the cake pops. Layer the cake pop in different colored coatings. Add shimmering food coloring to the cake pops.

Problem: Article: " The face value (or par value) is the amount that the bond pays at maturity. For instance, a 10-year, $5,000 bond will pay $5,000 when it matures ten years after its date of issue. Therefore, the face value of the bond is $5,000, regardless of any interest or dividend payments you may receive during that time. " The coupon payment is the amount the bond pays periodically in interest. In most cases, coupon payments occur twice a year. If a $5,000 bond pays 10% annually, then each semiannual coupon will pay $250. That's a total payment of $500 a year (or 10% of $5,000). " The coupon yield is the annual coupon payment expressed as a percentage of the bond's face value. In the example above, the coupon payment is $500, and the face value is $5,000. Therefore, the coupon yield can be expressed as 10%, which is $500/$5,000. " The current yield is the annual coupon payment amount divided by the current bond price. This gives you the coupon payment as a percentage of the current bond price. If the coupon payment is, for example, $500 and you calculate the bond's price (value) to be $4,800, then the current yield is $500/$4,800, which would be 10.4%. " A bond's yield to maturity is defined as the discount rate that yields the market price of the bond. This requires some additional calculations. You can read more about this particular calculation at yield to maturity. In the financial industry, a few companies research and rate bonds based on their quality, history and expected performance. The primary agencies that provide bond ratings are Standard & Poor, Moody, and Fitch. Bond ratings are grades given to bonds so that investors may judge the relative safety of any given bond investment. The highest Standard & Poor's rating is AAA. AA, A and BBB are medium-quality bonds. BB, B, CCC, CC, C, and D are "junk" bonds. The D rating means the bond has defaulted. A bond is selling at a discount when its yield to maturity is greater than its current yield and its coupon yield. A bond is selling at par when its yield to maturity is equal to its current yield and its coupon yield. A bond is selling at a premium when its yield to maturity is less than its current yield and its coupon yield.
Summary: Know your bond's "face value. Understand your "coupon payment. Find out your bond's "coupon yield. Measure your bond's "current yield. Find the bond's "yield to maturity. Look up the bond rating. Consider whether a bond is at a discount, at par, or at a premium.

Problem: Article: The simplest and most reliable way to avoid a speeding ticket is to drive within the speed limit. Driving cautiously and adhering to the law is both a sound way to avoid tickets and an exercise in public safety; speeding is recognized as a major contributing force in the quantity and severity of automobile crashes. Making the choice not to speed means being mindful and adjusting your driving habits accordingly. It is difficult to accurately "feel" what speed you are going at in most modern cars; this is especially true when switching from a high speed road to a lower speed one. To get a real sense of how fast you're going and to keep yourself from speeding, check your speedometer regularly, especially when switching between speed zones. Doing this might also improve your ability to gauge your speed over time by providing an accurate representation. While it might be your intention to avoid speeding, there are certain triggers on the road that may cause you to accelerate. Isolating these triggers in advance and preparing for them can help you prevent an erratic reaction when they do come about. Some potential triggers are: being tailgated overtaking other cars keeping up with traffic Defensive driving means being prepared and driving safely to avoid accidents at the hand of other people's bad driving. Defensive driving classes are available online and in person, and are often sought after by employers with employees who drive a passenger size company car for their work; when company drivers are involved in a crash, company insurance rates skyrocket, so this precaution is worthwhile. Some lessons from the courses that may help you be a more cautious driver are: Prioritize safety when driving. Prepare for the worst with regard to other drivers. Be aware of your surroundings. Cut out distractions. To be as cautious as possible about avoiding a speeding ticket, steer clear speed traps- areas with lower speed limits where police set up with the sole purpose of catching speeding drivers. Ask around for places others have noted as police hot-spots, and keep your eyes peeled for police cars. Look into phone apps that give warnings about nearby speed traps and cameras.
Summary:
Commit to driving the speed limit. Check your speedometer regularly. Recognize your speeding triggers. Take a defensive driving course. Keep track of speed traps.
