Q: You want to use laces that are long enough for you boot height. Use the laces that came with your boots or get a pair that is at least as long as your original laces. The Ladder method is also sometimes known as straight across lacing, and is popular among US paratroopers for the security of firm lacing. This method works best on higher boots with a lot of eyelets. Start the laces the same way as for diagonal laces, running the laces underneath the bottom eyelet. Your laces should now be on the outside of your boots. Now, instead of running your laces diagonally, run each end vertically through the next eyelet up. This time going from outside to in. Your laces should now be on the inside of your boots. Run your lace under the section of lace that is connecting two eyelets vertically. You're not threading your lace through an eyelet for this step as you are running the lace horizontally, not diagonally. Instead of threading your lace through an eyelet, thread it through the section of vertical lace on the outside of your boot. Do this for both ends of your laces. You should now have your laces on the outside of your boot. bring it up from underneath to the eyelet directly above the one below. Insert the lace from the outside in. Do this on both sides of you boot before bring running the lace horizontally across and under again. Always follow the same order you started with. If you laced right over left first, continue in that order. Repeat this process until you have reached the top. For this method, the only time your laces go through an eyelet is when you are moving to the eyelet vertically and from the outside in. Once you are the top, your laces should be facing in, on the inside of your boots. Once you've laced all the way up, tie your boots in a bow, or a not and stuff the laces behind the tongue.
A: Get your pair of laces. Begin by running your laces straight across the bottom eyelets. Insert your laces through the next eyelet vertically. Cross the laces over the tongue. Continue straight up and thread your lace through the next eyelet vertically. Continue Inserting the laces outside in, and the bring each end underneath again. Tie your boots.

Q: Using small and precise motions, line the upper lash line with black eyeliner. Draw the line from one corner of the eye to the other. You can choose to add a wing or not, depending on what you prefer and enjoy doing. To add a bit of drama and art to your eyeliner, add a second line, which will be drawn on above the black eyeliner. This will give your eyes a pop of color and will add some flair to your overall look. A thinner eyeliner applicator or brush will help with preciseness.
A: Line your top lid with liquid black eyeliner. Choose a second eyeliner.

Q: While sunflowers can be started indoors, they work best if they're started in the ground. Sunflower roots are sensitive to being moved, so transplanting them may kill them. They grow best at temperatures between 64 and 91F (1833C), but you can plant at slightly lower temperatures, once the last frost has passed. Sunflowers usually take 80 to 120 days to mature and produce new seeds, depending on the variety. If the growing season is shorter than this in your area, plant the sunflowers two weeks before the last frost; most seeds will probably survive. There are many sunflower varieties and hybrids, but most gardeners will only need to look at a couple characteristics, usually described on the seed packet or online listing. Be sure to check the sunflower's maximum height, since this ranges from dwarf varieties under 1 foot (30 cm), to giant sunflowers 15 ft (4.6 m) or taller. Also, decide between a sunflower that produces one stalk and flower, or one that branches out into multiple stalks with several smaller blooms. It is not possible to grow plants from roasted sunflower seeds, but you can grow it from sunflowers in bird seed, as long as the outer shell is present. Moisten a paper towel slightly, so it is damp but not soaked or dripping. Place the sunflower seeds on one half of the towel, then fold it over to cover them. If you have a large number of sunflower seeds, and don't mind a lower success rate, you can skip straight to planting. Seeds planted directly in the soil typically take 11 days to emerge. If you have a long growing season, try germinating seeds in batches one or two weeks apart, so you'll have blooms in your garden for a longer period of time. Put the damp paper towels in a plastic bag. Check on them once or twice a day, and continue once the seeds have sprouted. Typically, you'll see sprouts emerge from most of the seeds within 48 hours. Once this happens, move on to planting the seeds. Keep the paper towels at a temperature above 50F (10C) for best results. If the seeds don't sprout within two or three days, try using a fingernail clipper to remove the edge of the shell. Be careful not to damage the seed inside. Add a few more drops of water if the paper towels are drying out.
A: Check the outdoor temperatures. Select a sunflower variety. Fold the seeds in a damp paper towel. Keep the paper towels in a plastic bag. Clip the edge of the seed shells (if necessary).

Q: When you learn that you'll be chairing an upcoming meeting, one of the first things you should do is to spend a little time talking to the people who will be attending (especially high-ranking or important people). Ask them if there's anything they'd specifically like to discuss at the meeting. Take note of their answers and use them to guide you when you write your agenda. Asking your attendees about what they'd like to discuss is a smart move not only because it makes it easier to write an agenda, but also because it engages them in the meeting process before it's even begun. People are more likely to attend and pay attention during meetings if they know that issues important to them will be addressed. A meeting agenda can be a valuable tool not just for a meeting's chairperson, but also for the guests in attendance. Agendas contain valuable information about the meeting like when it will be, where it will take place, and who will be in attendance. Most importantly, they also outline all of the intended topics of discussion, allowing everyone to prepare. Send your meeting out in advance of the meeting itself the more important your meeting is, the earlier you should send it. One thing that your agenda should definitely contain is an approximate time limit for each topic of discussion. Having a rough schedule outlined beforehand makes it much easier to keep your meeting on-track. Though some items on your agenda may run long (and others may run short), a schedule makes it much easier to keep track of these items and adjust accordingly. The people who attend your meeting may not be up-to-speed on all of the topics you plan to discuss some may not have attended past meetings, while others may have simply forgotten. As the meeting chair, it's a good idea to know the history of discussion thus far. Try talking to people who attended previous important meetings to learn any important unfinished business that you should address in your meeting. You may also want to request the minutes of past meetings from an official record-keeper to help direct your planning. The minutes from previous meetings can be an important resource to you as chair. These summarize the discussions and decisions that occurred during past meetings, making it relatively quick and easy to get up-to-speed. You may even want to distribute important meeting minutes to your attendees with your agenda. On the day of your meeting, you'll want to ensure that the room or place you intend to meet in is clean, presentable, and ready to accommodate your attendees. You'll want to make certain that any technological components of the meeting (like presentations, projectors, displays, etc.) are functioning properly and are completely ready to go technical snafus can waste valuable time and put your meeting off track. If you're using an electronic presentation (like PowerPoint, etc.), take a moment to familiarize yourself with the remote control or clicker you'll be using to cycle through your slides. You don't want to waste time fumbling with your controls when you could be discussing important issues.
A:
Discuss the upcoming meeting with your attendees. Write and distribute an agenda. Research the discussion topics and any previous meetings. Get your meeting space ready ahead of time.
