Flip your vacuum upside-down and locate the screws on the bottom of your machine. Unscrew the bottom plate to access the brush roller underneath. Some vacuum cleaners will have simple clips that you can turn or push in to release the bottom plate. Check the bottom of your vacuum to see what tools you need to remove it. Make sure your vacuum is unplugged before you make any repairs. The screws holding the brush roller in place are usually found on the sides, but it may vary between different brands. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws holding the roller, and pull it out once it's completely loose. Some rollers may have a hidden screw on the side to connect them in place. If the roller doesn't come out right away, spin it by hand to check for any additional screws. As your vacuum picks up dirt and hair from around your home, it can wrap around the roller and prevent it from spinning. Pick out any large debris with your fingers first. Then, cut through the hair with a pair of scissors so you can easily pull it off the roller. Keep a garbage can nearby so you can throw out the hair and debris right away. Be careful not to cut the bristles on your roller or else your vacuum might not work as effectively. Hold the end of your vacuum over a garbage can, and use a soft-bristled paintbrush to dust out the inside of your vacuum. Cleaning out the leftover dust and dirt ensures your roller is clean and ready to use again. You can also use an alcohol cleaning wipe to clean out the inside of your vacuum. The alcohol will evaporate quickly without leaving a mess. Reposition the roller back in place and attach the screws so it's held tightly inside. Put the bottom plate back on before plugging your vacuum back in and turning it on. Check that the roller is spinning correctly. If the roller still isn't spinning, then the belt may not be working properly.

Summary: Take off the bottom plate of your vacuum. Unscrew the roller from place. Snip any hairs with a pair of scissors before pulling them off. Dust the inside of your vacuum to get rid of any other debris. Put the roller back inside your vacuum.

To really work on the details of your voice, you need to once again record yourself talking. Record yourself reciting a long paragraph out loud, doing your best to use a relaxed, slow, articulate voice. Then listen to this recording and make note of what areas your voice still falls short in. Practice saying those parts of the paragraph better, and then rerecord your voice. Compare the first recording to the second and note the improvements. Repeat this process until you are happy with the way your recorded voice sounds saying that paragraph. Do this exercise often to target the specific things about your voice that you want to improve the most. Download some podcasts and audiobooks and take some time to listen to the way they speak.

You can wash your hands before eating or your server may give you a hot, moist towel to use before your meal is served. Wipe your hands thoroughly on the towel and set it back on its plate so your server can take it away. Many sushi restaurants will also provide another hot, moist towel for you to clean your hands at the end of the meal. The server or chef will set down the plate of sushi you ordered, but you'll also notice a small empty dish, which you can pour soy sauce into, and a dab of green paste. The green paste is wasabi, which you can eat with the sushi to give it a little heat. Sushi chefs add some wasabi to their rolls, so try the sushi before adding wasabi to your pieces. You'll also notice pickled ginger off to the side of the sushi. It will be pale or bright pink in color. Although you often see sushi eaten with chopsticks, it is acceptable to pick up a piece of sushi with your fingers. Good sushi shouldn't fall apart when you grasp it with your fingers or chopsticks. Keep in mind that sashimi is usually only eaten with chopsticks. Since there's no rice in sashimi, it's pretty easy to pick up the fish with chopsticks. Pour a little soy sauce into the empty dish on your sushi plate. Slowly dip the piece of sushi into the soy sauce for about 1 second. If you're eating nigiri, tilt the fish into the soy sauce instead of the rice so it doesn't fall apart. Since the chef has already seasoned the sushi, it's considered rude to soak an entire piece of sushi in soy sauce. Soaking the piece in soy sauce also makes it more likely to fall apart. Try not to mix wasabi into the soy sauce since this is seen as bad manners. If the sushi already has sauce on it, eat a piece before dipping it in soy sauce. You might enjoy the flavor that the chef has already prepared. Most sushi is small enough to fit into your mouth all at once. Eating all of the sushi in a single bite will allow you to enjoy all of the flavors of the rice, wrapper, and fish. If the sushi is too large to fit into your mouth, you can eat it in 2 bites, but you may want to let the chef know that you prefer smaller pieces. Although some people argue that you must put the sushi fish-side down in your mouth, you can decide which way to eat the piece. Pay attention to how the flavors change as you eat the sushi. For example, you might notice a tender texture at first, followed by a slightly spicy finish. You probably ordered a few types of sushi, so you'll want to taste the difference between each of them. To refresh your mouth between different types of sushi, use your chopsticks to pick up a slice of ginger. Once you've eaten the ginger, you're ready to taste the next sushi. Avoid draping the ginger on the sushi and eating them together. Ginger is sometimes pale white or bright pink if food coloring has been added.
Summary: Clean your hands before eating sushi. Identify the wasabi and soy sauce. Pick up a piece of sushi with chopsticks or your fingers. Dip the sushi in soy sauce if you'd like to enhance the flavor of the fish. Try to eat the sushi in one bite. Eat bites of ginger in between different types of sushi to cleanse your palate.
