We often immediately lose 50% of what we are studying, so it is very important to concentrate when studying dates. You can begin by simply reminding yourself that you want to and/or need to remember the dates. Concentrating in this way can help you remember 20% to 60% more information. There are various practical ways to concentrate while studying. For instance: Reduce distractions; try to study in a quiet, stress-free environment. Intentionally focus your eyes on a written date that you are trying to memorize. "Trace" the date with your eyes. When you come across a date you need to learn, take a moment and carefully write it out, thinking "I need to remember this" as you do. Visualize yourself writing the number any time you think of it. For instance, imagine yourself writing the date on a chalkboard in your mind. The more you can repeat information you need to learn, the more likely you are to memorize it. Since we lose the greatest amount of information within 24 hours of learning something, it is important not just to repeat the information immediately, but frequently. If you keep practicing and going over dates every day, you increase your recall and memory; if you keep trying to memorize them for thirty days, you are likely to remember them for years to come. If you need to learn a set of dates for an exam or other purpose, go over them as frequently as you can, spending at least a few minutes each day reviewing the information. Flash cards are a common way to practice memorizing information. If used correctly, they can be a big help. Using a set of cards (or an electronic flash card program), write each date you need to memorize on one side of a card, and the significance of that date on the other side. Quiz yourself by shuffling the cards, looking at the date on each one, and seeing if you can remember the significance of it. You can also reverse the cards and look at the "significance" side, and see if you can recall the date associated with it. As you go through the cards each session, take out the ones that you remember well, and repeat the ones you cannot, until you can remember all of the dates. Practice using the flashcards frequently, but work in small bursts of just a few minutes at a time. If you try to memorize too much at one time, the information won't really stick. The more you use the dates you need to learn, the more likely you are to remember them. Talk about the dates you are learning with family and friends, think about them to yourself, and write about them whenever you can. Keep doing this, and you'll memorize them all!

One-sentence summary -- Concentrate on the dates you need to learn. Repeat the dates frequently. Use flash cards. Use the dates.

Q: Before you cut the trim, figure out where you plan on placing it. Use a tape measure on the wall, but also hold the piece of trim to the wall to get an idea of how it will fit. Although each piece of trim needs to be cut to a specific length, overestimate the length of trim you need to ensure you have enough to cover the corner. Getting enough trim for short corners is important. You can use short pieces of trim to form the corners as needed, then connect them to longer pieces of trim. The best way to determine the angle is with a bevel protractor. To use the bevel, place the base end firmly against 1 wall, open up the tool, and place the blade end against the other wall. Find the 0 degree mark and read the number above it to figure out the angle measurement. Then, type this into an angle calculator to determine how to adjust a miter saw to cut the trim perfectly. You can find a calculator at http://www.installcrown.com/Crown_angle_generator.html. Take some standard safety precautions before operating a saw. Always wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and earmuffs. For more protection, cut the trim in a ventilated area such as outside of your home. If you can't get outside, open nearby doors and windows. Avoid wearing gloves, long clothing, or jewelry that can get caught under the saw's blade.
A: Measure out your wall space to determine how long the trim needs to be. Determine the angle of your wall with an online calculator. Protect your eyes, ears, and airways before cutting trim.

Article: If you do not know what layers are, it is a tool found on many illustrative programs. They can help make outlining and drawing on the computer easier. Set up about 4 layers (you can add more later). There are different types of anime eyes, however, they all have a shape to them that makes it identified as anime eyes. Search for anime images so you can get an example of what they look like, and use it as a reference. Use a fairly light color to sketch, as you are probably going to outline it in a dark color, and it will contrast. Your sketch does not have to be neat, just neat enough so you can trace over it. Use black to outline your eye, making it as neat as possible. You can choose to use the bezier tool, which would give you clean curves, freehand it, or both. If you're using the layers properly, only the sketch will erase, and not the black outline. Then, use layer 3 to color in the white part of the eye. Use a slightly blue gray to color the shadow the top eyelid casts down. First use a base color, and then use a darker color around the edge and in the shadow; the top right/left,(or wherever the direction the light is coming from, see example). You can choose to blend it in, or not. Then, take a lighter version or the base color and apply it diagonally from the shadow. Draw your pupil using a dark color, if you did not include it into your outline. Then, add your glint to the eye by using a very light color close to white where the shadow is. Congrats, you're finished!

You can choose to use the dodge tool to accent the eye, but don't overuse it.

Article: We possess a lot of qualities that would attract and intrigue us. One of the best qualities a person can have when it comes to talking to and picking up women is availability. Expressing your intentions of wishing to ask her out will come across without any confusion. Approaching a woman should be both fun and exciting; it's an opportunity to get to know someone new. The difficulty of approaching someone reveals your confidence. Confidence is always considered the best quality in a person.

Music t-shirt, sandals, and shorts might be great for a festival or time out on the beach, but that won't work for a night out on the town. Keep in mind some basic fashion tips. Invest in a nice pair of shoes and keep them polished. Shoes should be the most expensive article of clothing you wear. Keep things simple. Don't overdo the colors and the accessories. Update your wardrobe. New is good, and every man you see who is well-dressed and confident is usually sporting clothes that look new. When it boils down to it, humans do gravitate to what they find attractive such as a nice bistro, a wonderful book cover, and a lovely smile.

Whichever facial hair trend you follow (mustache, beard, stubble) keep things tidy. Cologne is helpful but don't over do it. Pick a barber/hairstylist who listens to your needs and see them at least once a month. Having a good time and being comfortable should be your main goals when going out. A smile signals both these feelings, and women will take notice.
