Q: Classes are a great way to learn the grammar and nuances of a language. Find a class with a qualified instructor who can teach you both the spoken aspects of the language and Finnish grammar. The Finnish Consulate in Washington, D.C. offers a list of Finnish courses available in the US on its website. Some universities in the UK, such as University College London or University of Westminster, offer Finnish courses. If you are in Finland already, you can take a Finnish as a second language course at the University of Helsinki, University of Turku, University of Eastern Finland, and other major universities. If you do not have a course in your area, you can take an online course. These may be either a self-directed course or guided courses with instructors. The City of Helsinki offers a list of these courses through its Infopankki website. An effective method of learning a language is to listen, understand and repeat. You can look online or in your local area for a Finnish tutor. Your tutor should be a native or fluent speaker of Finnish. Contact local universities, language schools, and exchange programs to see if they can recommend you a tutor. If you do not have any Finnish speakers in your area, you can find an online tutor. They will instruct you over a video chat program, such as Skype or Google Hangouts. If you want to practice speaking but you do not know any Finnish speakers, you can find a penpal who will speak to you over skype. This language partner may not be a formal tutor or instructor, but they can help you practice speaking. You will also get valuable experience hearing the language spoken naturally. You can find speaking partners on a penpal or language exchange website. If you live in an area with Finnish heritage or many Finnish immigrants, you might find a local Finnish cultural group or community center that will host events. These events are good places to meet other Finnish learners as well as fluent speakers. Places in the Finnish diaspora are more likely to hold these types of events. This includes places such as Sweden, Estonia, Norway, Canada, the US, and Russia. In the US, Finnish cultural groups can be found primarily in Michigan, Minnesota, California, Washington, and Wisconsin. Immersion is one of the most effective ways to learn a language. The best way to immerse yourself in Finnish is to visit Finland. Whether you go for a week or for a month, use Finnish as much as possible during your time there. If people try to speak to you in English, let them know that you are learning their language and want as much practice as possible.
A: Take a class. Hire a tutor. Find a skype partner. Attend Finnish cultural events. Visit Finland.

Q: Once your ferret notices that there's a tasty treat just above its head, it will rest on its haunches and sit upright to move its mouth closer to the treat. Make sure that the treat isn't too high or else the ferret might jump to get it. The repeated verbal command will help your ferret learn to associate the behavior of sitting with the word "sit." So, as soon as your ferret lowers its bottom to sit while it looks up at the treat, say "sit" loud and clear. Repeat this process 1015 times over a 20minute window (or until your ferret loses its appetite). After a few repetitions, the ferret will understand that you're giving it the treat as a reward for sitting. If you don't give the ferret the treat right away, it will either jump up and snatch the treat from your fingers or lose interest altogether, neither of which will help with its training. This will give the animal further positive reinforcement and help it learn to sit on command more quickly. Speak in an affectionate tone and say "nice work!" "good boy!" or "good girl!" Since it would be impractical to always have chicken breast (or other food treats) on hand to give your ferret whenever it sits, stop giving your ferret a treat every time it sits down. Start by cutting back to 3/4 of the time, then half, then 1/4, and then stop giving treats altogether. Still give your ferret verbal praise and pets when it sits down, though. In a few weeks or a couple months, your ferret will be well trained and will sit down when you give it the verbal command with or without a treat.
A: Hold a treat 6 inches (15cm) above the ferret's head. Say "sit" once your ferret has moved into a seated position. Give the ferret the treat as soon as it's in a seated position. Praise and pet the ferret just after giving it the treat. Phase out treats as your ferret learns to sit.

Q: Get a telescope with a big aperture and a wide range of magnification so you can see the stars, the moon, and the galaxies in the universe. Study the universe with the telescope on a regular basis so you become familiar with the many celestial bodies in the sky. Buy a telescope that fits your budget and needs. Telescopes can be expensive so you may work your way up to the type that you want. Learn more about astronomy by joining an astronomy club at your school or an astronomy society in your area. This will allow you to meet others interested in astronomy and focus more on your goal of becoming an astronomer. Ask your school counsellor for more information on the astronomy club at your school. Look for online astronomy clubs, where you chat with others online about astronomy. If you can't find a local astronomy club, start your own with some friends or peers. Take a class on chemistry, physics, or mathematical software programs so you can become proficient at using them. You can also download science-related software programs onto your home computer and teach yourself how to use them. For example, you may learn how to use physics software like AIDA, Orbit-Vis, or the Mars regional atmospheric modeling system. Participate in class discussions at school or create a study group where you meet and work as a team on assignments. You could even join a sports team at school or be part of a dance group after school. You will need to be able to function well in a team to be an astronomer, as astronomers often work with their peers and other scientists on projects in the field. Astronomers do more than just stare at the sky all day. They also communicate their ideas and discoveries with their peers and the general public. You will need to write about your studies and be comfortable speaking to the public about them as well. Make sure you do well in your English and communications classes. You can also take a public speaking class so you feel more at ease speaking to strangers or large groups of people.
A: Study the universe with a telescope. Join an astronomy club or society. Learn how to use science-related software programs. Get better at working in a team. Improve your writing and public speaking skills.

Q: A centrifugal juicer is an excellent choice for juicing most vegetables, and almost any fruit. Most centrifugal juices can juice spinach or other greens, but they are not very efficient at doing so. Additionally, most centrifugal juicers cannot juice wheatgrass. If you plan use primarily juicy fruits and veggies, then a centrifugal juicer may be a great choice for you. Centrifugal juicers are very reasonably priced. This is the primary benefit of a centrifugal juicer (over the more high-end masticating juicers). Centrifugal juicers start for as little as $20, but they may run as expensive as $200. Higher end models can typically handle whole pieces of produce, and yield more juice. Look for a model that fits your budget. Centrifugal juicers work fast. These speedy machines are excellent for preparing yourself a quick glass of fresh juice each morning. If juicing is something you plan to do often, and if you are short on time, a fast-moving centrifugal model may be right for you. One drawback to centrifugal juicers is that they tend toward the noisier side. The noise produced by the average centrifugal juicer is on par with a typical blender, food processor, or coffee grinder. Fortunately, centrifugal juicers are much faster than other models, so your juicing time, noisy though it may be, will fly right by.
A:
Determine what you will juice. Consider the price. Think about juicing speed. Decide if you can handle some noise.
