Problem: Article: Although single-malts are arguably more prestigious than blends their price tag certainly advertises it there are some very tasty blends out there, sometimes even nicer than single-malts. Overall, you'll probably squeeze more quality out of single-malts, but they're more expensive than blends and not always better. When drinking Scotch, it pays to be judicious and agnostic. Don't be a complete and utter snob. Some whiskies are given caramel color injections before bottling, ostensibly to maintain visual consistency from one bottling to the next. Steer clear of these whiskies. If the whisky tastes good, what does it matter how it looks? Here's the bottom line with Scotch and with other spirits to which colorant are added: If the distiller or bottler is willing to lie about the color of the spirit, what else are they willing to lie about? While whisky can technically be produced the world 'round Canada, Australia, and even Japan all make fine whisky start off with whiskies from the wind-tipped rim of Scotia. You almost can't go wrong. Here's a quick look at the different regions of Scotland, some of their characteristics, and some of their most heralded whiskies:
Summary: Don't blindly prefer single-malts over blends. Look for all-natural whiskys without added colorants. Note where the Scotch comes from.

Problem: Article: If you really want to dive into classical physics, buy a beginner's textbook and start reading. Simply reading the concepts will not be enough to really understand. You must also review the sample problems and try your hand at some of the questions at the end of each chapter. Take the time to process the derivations of the basic equations of motion and truly understand why they work before you move onto the next concept. Reading a textbook on your own might not be enough for you to gain the depth of knowledge you'd like in physics. There are many open courseware and online courses you can take related to physics. Many of these courses have assignments to check your understanding and forums to discuss the work. These types of courses are also easy to fit into your schedule as you can work on the material when you have the time. Physics is a subject best learned through hands-on activities and solving practice problems. Do some basic experimenting and see if you can derive the equations based on your data. Answer all of the questions at the end of each chapter and check your solutions. Seek out more problem sets online for concepts that are more troublesome than others. Physics builds upon itself, so continue to do practice problems until you feel that you have mastered the concept before moving on to the next one. If you work best in a classroom setting, check out the courses available at your local community college. Choose a course with a well-rated professor during a time that fits well into your schedule. Taking a course just because you're curious about the material can be really fun and you'll be more likely to focus on the work and truly learn the subject. Take advantage of office hours and open lab times to discuss concepts that may be causing you trouble.
Summary: Read a beginner's physics textbook. Take an online physics course. Experiment and do practice problems to check your understanding. Sign up for a basic physics class at a local college.

Problem: Article: There's a chance that a girl with her image and social history may be less open to making new friends. She could be hesitant to open up to you, or try to keep you from getting too close too soon. Don't be put off. Letting her know you like her and want the two of you to get to know each other is about being up front and, most importantly, being persistent. Don't be easily discouraged. No friendship falls into place right away. It may just be a matter of seeing her a few times and becoming more comfortable in one another's presence. Know when to back off. Though persistence is important, it shouldn't keep you blindly pursuing her if she's just not interested. Try to develop a sense of when enough is enough. If she feels like she's being harassed, it may make her even more closed off. No matter what your intentions are in getting to know her, the strongest foundation is friendship. The two of you will most likely start off as friends, and you may even find that this is more meaningful to you than dating her would be. Don't try to force her into anything or expect things to move too fast. It's up to her whether she wants the relationship to progress; in the meantime, let your friendship be its own reward. Others may be reluctant to become friends with her based on the way she looks or acts outwardly. Try to see past the "tough girl" label and get at the essence of the person inside. We're not all that different at the end of the day. Become a reliable figure in her life. Always be ready with a helping hand and prove to her that you can be trusted. She can be the most capable person in the world, but it will still mean something to her to know that you care. Make yourself available when she needs you. Be someone that she can talk to. That means being honest and straightforward with her, withholding judgment and making her feel at ease. No matter how tough or independent she is, no one minds receiving a compliment. Pay attention to more than just her physical features. Single out the best parts of her character and give them the praise they deserve. Sometimes she might just need to hear that someone else likes the same things about her that she likes about herself. Encourage her individuality, don't make her feel self-conscious about it. Attempts to change her subtly by saying things like "you shouldn't be such a loner" or "see, you look good when you get dressed up" will only be met with resentment. Lavishing her with too much praise can become tiresome. Say something nice about her when it's warranted; otherwise, it's best not to be too heavy-handed with affection. Make her feel appreciated. This is a much more significant thing than just telling her she's pretty or complimenting her hairstyle. True appreciation stems from recognition of someone's positive qualities and successes, and these are the things you want to celebrate with her.
Summary:
Don't let yourself be chased off. Be a good friend. Let her know she can count on you. Tell her what you like about her.
