Q: Watching golf is a great way to get better. As you are watching, evaluate what the professional golfers are doing and take notes. Watch how professional players assess each shot before they take it and note the decisions that were made. Look at how each player swings the driver, the wedges, and the putter. Imagine yourself taking the same shot the players on television are taking. Where would you aim for the shot? Compare the choice you made to what the professional player has done. Try to imitate some of the shots you see at your next practice session. Good golf players typically have a pre-shot routine (i.e. what they do before they take every single shot). Use the examples of pre-shot routines to help you develop your own routine. Begin to incorporate your routine into your practice sessions. A pre-shot routine may consist of checking the lie of the ball, checking the distance to your target, checking the direction of the wind, selecting a shot, choosing a club, visualizing the shot, and taking a few practice swings. Visualizing your shots allows you to practice golf from any location. Devote five minutes a day to visualization practice. Focus on the things that you have done well on the golf course. Did you sink a putt? Did you hit a nice long drive? It is important that you make visualization a regular activity. The more consistently you do it, the more beneficial it will be. Avoid replaying your mistakes when you visualize. Increasing the strength of your muscles and bones without bulking up too much will help your golf game. Your strength training program should be focused on lifting heavier weights with fewer repetitions. Choose a weight that you can lift about six or seven times before your body becomes really tired. Try exercises that mimic natural movements and engage multiple muscle groups such as squats and dead lifts. Aim for four sets, of one to six repetitions. Rest three minutes between each set.
A: Watch golf on television. Practice visualization. Do full body strength training.

Q: Hazardous waste that gets dumped on the ground contaminates the soil, which in turn can contaminate groundwater or nearby surface water. Don't ever dump hazardous wastes like motor oil, leftover paint or paint cans, household cleaners, or medicines onto the ground. Check with your local sanitation or trash removal agency about guidelines before putting hazardous wastes into the trash. Many pesticides and fertilizers contain harmful chemicals that contaminate ground water. If you must use pesticides or fertilizers, use them sparingly or check the ingredients to use ones that are made from all-natural ingredients. Or try making your own pesticides out of organic ingredients like neem oil, Epsom salts, or citrus. Make your own neem oil pesticide by mixing 1 teaspoon (4.9mL) of neem oil with 12 teaspoon (2.5mL) soap and 32 fluid ounces (0.95L) of warm water. To make an Epsom salt spray, dissolve 8 fluid ounces (0.24L) into 5 gallons (19L) of water. Or simply sprinkle Epsom salts around the bases of your plants instead of making a spray. Citrus is especially effective against aphids. To make a citrus spray, grate the rind from 1 lemon and add it to 16 fluid ounces (0.47L) boiling water. Allow this to steep overnight then strain the liquid from the lemon rinds. Check to see if the plants you grow need a fertilizer to thrive in your garden before automatically using them. Stencil a message next to a storm drain, reminding people not to dump waste into a street drain because that water drains to a river. Use simple images like fish, a faucet with water drops, or a person throwing away trash, and include a simple message like "Protect Your Water" or "Drains Directly To Rivers." Get permission to stencil storm drains in your area by contacting your local Department of Public Works. Search your closest city or town along with "Department of Public Works" online to find their phone number and tell them you're interested in doing a storm drain stenciling project. To create the stencils, draw and cut out your design on a piece of paper, then spray paint the design on or near a storm drain. If you are concerned about clean water shortages in your area, contact your elected officials to voice your water concerns and ask that action is taken. The website at https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials directs you to your state and local elected officials like governors, mayors, and county executives within the U.S. To contact officials outside of where you live, search the name of the town, for instance "Flint, MI," along with "ways to help." For contacting elected officials outside the U.S., conduct a google search on "contacting my elected officials" or "who are my government representatives." region. The Environmental Protection Agency oversees environmental issues like clean water protection and accessibility within the U.S. Their website has many resources about clean water issues and allows you to ask them questions. You can also find source water protection coordinators in your area and report environmental law violations that may contribute to decreased clean water through their website. Visit https://www.epa.gov/sourcewaterprotection/forms/contact-us-about-source-water-protection for more information on contacting the EPA about clean water protection.
A: Use and dispose of harmful materials properly. Use pesticides and fertilizers only when necessary. Organize a storm drain stenciling project. Call your local elected officials with concerns within your area. Contact the EPA to take action in a specific U.S.

Q: A sound map of the file will appear in Audacity's main display. The file will be called lame_enc.dll for Windows and libmp3lame.so for Macintosh. You will only be asked to do this the first time you use the Export as MP3 option. If you are converting a .wav file to .mp3 specifically to be able to play the file in iTunes then the iTunes music folder is an ideal location for the converted file.
A: Download the appropriate LAME MP3 encoder. Unzip the archived LAME folder and remember its location. Download and open the free cross-platform Audacity. Select the File and choose the Open option. Locate the desired WAV file on your computer's hard drive. Select the File tab and choose the Export as MP3 option. Respond to the prompt by finding the MP3 encoder where you just chose to unzip it. Select the location you would like your converted MP3 file to appear in and rename the file if necessary.

Q: Random branch evergreens like junipers, arborvitae, yews, and hemlocks usually sprout new branches with flat needles during the spring. You can prune them for size once or twice annually, but you should leave behind at least one-third of new growth during each pruning. The needles on areas of new growth tend to be softer and lighter in color. Leaving some new growth behind is beneficial for the health of the evergreen. As the name indicates, random branch evergreens grow in less naturally-structured shapes than do pines, spruces, or firs. This means you may want to be a bit more aggressive in shaping them to suit your aesthetic preferences. You can shear random branch evergreens several (e.g., 2-3) times during the spring and summer, if you wish. However, as you shear and prune for shape, make sure to leave behind some of the new growth. Random branch evergreens don't need to be shaped, and will do just fine if you let them grow naturally. Most random branch evergreens develop an area in the center where there are no needles, due to the lack of sunlight. If you prune back to this "dead zone," new growth will not occur there and you'll end up with a bare patch. When pruning for size or shape, work with what you have instead of trying to force your evergreen into a specific look. For instance, try to find the beauty in the "randomness" of your upright juniper!
A:
Remove up to two-thirds of new growth to control their size. Prune or shear them for shape in spring and summer. Don't prune them back to the "dead zone" in the middle.
