Q: Routers, modems, computers, smartphones, and tablets all suffer a certain amount of depreciation after a few years. If one or more of these items is exceptionally olderfour or more years, to be preciseyou will invariably encounter some Internet problems. Unfortunately, the best solution to old technology is purchasing new technology. Another situation in which you'll notice problems is if you recently installed a brand-new operating system on an old computer or mobile platform. Especially if your router and/or modem is more than three years old, you'll want to upgrade to a more recent model. This is commonly known as "power-cycling", and it allows your router to clear out its internal cache and start from scratch. Restarting your router will also prompt it to re-select the least busy Wi-Fi channel, which is something that may change daily depending on your location. You can program your router to restart itself daily from within its settings page. Out-of-date router firmware can prevent your router from maintaining a consistent connection. This is a process that varies from router to router, so you'll need to check your router's manual to verify the process. Typically, though, you'll go to the router's settings page, find the Update or Install Firmware button, and click it. This is especially important if you just bought a brand-new router, or if you use a router that's more than a year or two old. Line-of-sight between your work area and your router is important, but it doesn't matter if there are several dampening appliances near the router. Dampening appliances can be anything from baby monitors to microwaves to refrigerators, so make sure that your router is far away from these items. Your router should also be up relatively high. If your router is at a lower level that the level at which you use your computer, phone, tablet, and so on, you'll probably run into Internet connection issues. The old "turn it off and then on again" method actually works quite well when it comes to resetting an Internet connection, especially when using an item that hasn't been turned completely off in several days. . Wi-Fi range extenders are small items that receive your router's Wi-Fi signal and amplify it, allowing your Wi-Fi to reach you in places that it previously couldn't. Wi-Fi range extenders can cost upward of $50, but they're often cheaper than buying a new router. You can always make your own range extender if you have a spare aluminum can. Make sure that your selected range extender will work with your model of router before buying one. . As mentioned previously, there's only so much that you can do with old technology. If your router and/or modem is more than a few years old, buying a new one will almost certainly increase your Internet speed and reception. Make sure that you check out the next section of this article before spending any money.
A: Determine how old your hardware is. Unplug your router and modem for a few minutes. Upgrade your router's firmware. Reposition your router. Restart any Internet-connected items. Use a Wi-Fi range extender Buy a new router

Q: If your opponent opens the game by moving their queen's pawn to d4, make your first move to e6. This limits your opponent from moving their pawn forward during their next turn since you could capture it. It also opens up your king's bishop so it can move out of the back row. The mainline strategy for your opponent is moving their pawn at c2 to c4 to protect d5. Move the knight on g8 up to f6 so it's right next to the pawn you moved during the first turn. The knight will help defend the d5 so your opponent's pawn doesn't move into it, but it will also allow it to access the king's side of the board so your opponent can't attack as easily. Your opponent usually would move their queen's night from b1 to c3. Take the bishop next to your king and move it diagonally to the b4 square so it's next to your opponent's pawn. Your opponent won't be able to move their knight since you would be able to capture their king during your next turn. Your opponent will most likely move their queen to e2 so they can capture your bishop if you decide to capture their knight. Move the rook at h8 to the right until it's in f8, and place your king on g8. Now your king is protected by a row of pawns and your rook so it's harder to capture. Keep your king protected near the corner throughout the rest of the game so it's harder for your opponent to attack it.
A: Move the pawn in front of your king to e6. Develop the king's knight to f6. Move the king's bishop to b4 to pin your opponent's knight. Castle on the king's side to build your defense.

Q: When you begin cutting, snip the feather closest to the wing tip. You will be working inward as you trim. Clip the primary flight feathers about a quarter inch below the shorter, overlapping feathers. Trim the first six primary flight feathers, moving from the wingtip towards your bird's body. Make sure to trim a quarter inch below the overlapping short feathers. Do not cut into these feathers, as this can harm your bird. Clip only one feather at a time. Clipping a bird's wings takes concentration and precision. If you try to clip all six feathers at once, you could end up going too fast and harming your bird. Blood feathers are newly formed feathers. If cut, they will bleed. Blood feathers are waxy and pinkish in appearance, and also have a visible blood vessel running through them. Examine each feather to make sure it is not a blood feather before clipping. Blood feathers need to be protected. If you notice a blood feather, you should also avoid trimming the full grown feather next to it. If there are a lot of blood feathers present, it is probably too soon to clip your bird's wings. Try putting off clipping for a few days. You want your bird to maintain equilibrium. Make sure the number of feathers trimmed on each side is equal. While a bird should not be able to fly, it should still be able to glide and sit on its perch. Trimming the wings unevenly could prevent balance.
A: Start from the wing tip. Cut one feather at a time. Watch out for blood feathers. Trim an equal number of feathers from each wing.

Q: If the label is stuck firmly to the jar, soak the jar in warm, soapy water for a few minutes, then peel the label off. You will likely have lots of paper and/or glue residue left over, which is fine. During this time, the oil will penetrate any glue residue and dissolve it. It will make it easier to remove later on. If you see any residue, you can wipe it off using a paper towel and a few drops of oil.
A:
Peel off as much of the label as you can. Wait 10 to 30 minutes. Wash the jar using soap and water, then pat it dry with a towel.
