Article: Having everything on hand to repair your antenna will save you time while repairing it. You will need a flat, clear space to work, and also: A clean soda can Sturdy scissors or shears A pen A book Needle nose pliers You will first need to cut the top of the can free from the rest of it. Now you can begin a single cut that follows around the can at a gradual angle spiraling down to the bottom of your can. You should remove the bottom of your can after you are through cutting your spiral aluminum strip. Take care when cutting your can; the aluminum may be sharp enough to cut you. Using a flat, heavy object (like a book), or even your hands, flatten your spiral strip entirely. Remove any particularly bad burrs or jagged edges from your flattened strip. Collect any shards or pieces of aluminum. These are sharp, and can result in cuts or slivers. Take your pen and run it along the middle of your strip to begin creasing your strip of aluminum. Bend the outside edges of your strip with your needle nose pliers or hands, drawing each side together above the crease you have made. The resulting shape of your aluminum will now be cylindrical. If your antenna has broken off close to the bottom, you may want to fold the outside edges of your strip around the remaining antenna nub. If your break is higher up on the antenna, wrap the outside edges around so that the antenna extends into your aluminum to stabilize the aluminum extension. If your antenna has been torn out of its port completely, you may be able to narrow your aluminum to fit in the antenna receiver hole, but if damage has been done to the port, you made need to replace the antenna assembly completely. In some cases, you may be able to sheath your antenna with your now cylindrical foil. This may result in a stable junction. However, if your antenna is flimsy or you are concerned about the elements (wind should be a serious concern for car antennas), you can further support the break by wrapping it in duct tape or electrical tape.

Gather your materials. Cut your soda can in a spiral strip. Flatten and trim your aluminum strip. Crease your strip so the outside ends meet. Attach your antenna to your antenna port, or to the unbroken end of your antenna. Stabilize as necessary.
Article: Just as in traditional chess, the player with the white pieces always opens the game. Select a white pawn to move forward one to two spaces. Switch sides and select a black pawn to move forward one to two spaces. Try to avoid mirroring moves. Players generally move one of the pawns in front of the king or queen. This opens up a lane for the queen and bishops. Prior to moving your pieces, always pause for a moment to think. Ask yourself several questions about your opponent's strategy. "What is my opponent doing?" "How did my opponent's last move impact the game?" "Is my opponent trying to set a trap?" After assessing the situation, formulate or adjust your strategy. First, search for moves that will threaten your opponent's king or lead to the capture of one of their pieces. Second, determine if the move you want to make will leave your pieces vulnerable to capture. Lastly, double check your evaluation. Throughout the opening portion of the game, you want to position your pieces for future attacks. Prior to moving either queen, work to move the knights and bishops towards the center of the board. Doing so will put the knights and bishops in a position to attack your opponent's pieces. Avoid moving too many of your pawns in an effort to capture the other player's pawns. Castling is often the last action of your opening game. It is a move that relocates your king to a position of relative safety. In order to castle, all of the spaces between your unmoved king and an unmoved rook must be open. Slide your king two spaces towards the unmoved rook. Place the rook behind the king (between the king's starting square and his new position). If your opponent fails to castle, look for an opportunity to capture their king.

Make the first move for each side. Anticipate your opponent's moves. Move out the knights and bishops. Castle.
Article: Statements that include absolute qualifiers are rarely true, so choose false when you come across these types of statements. Absolute qualifiers include words like: No Never None Every All Always Entirely Only If a statement features a qualifier that is not absolute and that seems more reasonable, then it is likely true.
