The beach can get crowded as the day goes on, so it is better to arrive to arrive early to designate a spot. Check when the beach you are going to opens, but 9 a.m. should be a good time to arrive. Set up your area fully before beginning any activities to make sure that you will have enough space. It can be difficult to carry everything needed for a beach day, like balls, refreshments, towels, sunscreen, and speakers. Bringing a wagon that you can easily roll behind you will make it easier to transport everything, especially if you plan to move throughout the day. Choose a wagon with sturdy wheels that can move easily through the sand. The Wonder Wheeler is a popular brand of carts to bring to the beach. Having music that everyone can here is a good idea if you will be going to the beach with a group of friends. Bring a radio or a speaker that can hook up to a smartphone or iPod. If you are bringing a speaker, choose a playlist with your friends that everyone can enjoy. Make sure to keep the music at a reasonable volume if other people are around. Bring equipment for games that everyone can take part in. You can bring footballs, Frisbees, bocce balls, volleyballs, or any other equipment for a game that can easily be played on the beach. A few other ideas for games are beach mini golf, relay racing, and sand castle building competitions. Pack refreshments that can be shared amongst everyone. Bring large bottles of water, soda, or juice. For food, make sandwiches ahead of time, or any other food that can be eaten easily and shared. You can also bring large bags of chips and crackers for snacks. Clean up after eating and check to make sure nothing is left behind when leaving the beach. If you're of legal age you can bring adult beverages like beer or wine, as long as you have checked with the rules of the beach first.

summary: Get to the beach early. Bring a wagon or cart. Bring a speaker. Play games. Bring refreshments.

Summarize the following:
Heat 1 cup (250 ml) of water using a small saucepan or a tea kettle. Allow the water to reach a simmer, but not a full boil. Pour the hot water into a glass bowl. Add 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of salt and 3 Tbsp (45 ml) of Borax. Stir to dissolve. You'll use this Borax solution to treat the base wick material. Treating wicks with Borax can make the candles burn brighter and longer. Moreover, it can also reduce the amount of ash and smoke produced by the burning process. Keep Borax away from children and pets since it can have a toxic effect when ingested or inhaled. Take a piece of heavy cotton butcher's twine and submerge it in the Borax solution. Allow the twine to soak for 24 hours. Make sure that the length of twine used is longer than the height of the container you plan to use for your candle. If you don't know how tall the candle will be, you can soak up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) of twine and trim it down to size later. Butcher's twine is a great base material for candle wicks, but nearly any thick cotton cord should work well enough. You can use embroidery cotton, torn pieces of cotton cloth, or a clean shoelace with the plastic cap removed. Soaking the twine for 24 hours will produce the best results. You can technically remove the twine after 20 minutes, but the results will not be as ideal. Remove the twine from the Borax solution using tweezers. Hang the twine and let it dry for two or three days. The twine must be fully dry before you continue. Use a clothespin or similar clip to hang the treated twine in a warm, dry location. Place aluminum foil beneath the drying twine to catch any excess solution as it drips off. Break apart 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 ml to 125 ml) of candle wax. Melt the wax using a double boiler setup. If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a clean metal can and a small saucepan. Heat 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of water in the saucepan over your stove, letting it simmer and steam without boiling. Place the metal can inside the hot water. Wait another minute for the can to heat up before adding the wax. Melted wax can cause serious burns, so handle it very carefully throughout the rest of the procedure. Carefully dunk the dry, Borax-treated twine in the melted wax. Coat as much of the twine as possible. Technically, you can use Borax-treated twine as it is without adding a wax coating. The wax makes the wick stiffer and easier to handle, however, and may also make it easier for the flame to catch on the end of the wick. Hang the twine as before and let it dry long enough for the wax to harden. This should only take several minutes. As before, place a sheet of aluminum foil beneath the hanging twine to catch any excess wax dripping off. Dip and dry the twine once or twice more to build up a thick coating of wax. Ideally, the twine should feel stiff while still retaining some flexibility. If you don't have enough wax to dip the string again, you can lay the string on a sheet of aluminum foil and carefully pour the remaining wax on top. Let the wick dry on the foil instead of hanging it again. Once the fully-coated twine is dry, it's finished and ready to insert into a candle.

summary: Heat the water. Dissolve the salt and Borax. Soak the twine in the solution. Dry the twine. Melt the wax. Dip the treated twine. Dry the twine. Repeat. Use the wick as needed.

The most useful certification for an equity analyst is the Chartered Financial Analyst, or CFA. There are other certifications, but the CFA is the most likely to be beneficial. Some top business schools offer MBA programs that include study for the CFA certification. The CFA Institute has partnered with 41 graduate schools to provide CFA instruction as part of an existing MBA program. A joint MBA/CFA program lets you prepare for and earn the CFA certification more efficiently, while enrolled in your MBA program. Before you can apply for the CFA certification, you must complete 48 months of relevant work experience in the financial field. This work does not have to be specifically in a role as an equity analyst. The definition of relevant work is fairly broad and can include such areas as trading, economics and corporate finance. To earn the CFA charter, you must pass three successive levels of exams, in order. The Level I exam is offered in either late spring or fall, while the Level II and Level II exams are offered only once a year, in the late spring. The passing rate for the exams is very low, so you should plan to study hard for it. The CFA Institute, that administers the exam, estimates that applicants should plan at least 250 hours of study for each level. Each level consists of a six-hour exam, covering a wide range of topics related to the financial field. The general range of topics includes: ethics and professional standards quantitative methods economics financial reporting and analysis corporate finance equity investments derivatives alternative investments portfolio management wealth planning. The CFA Institute publishes free study materials online, which you can access at https://www.cfainstitute.org/programs/cfaprogram/Pages/index.aspx. In addition, you can find many commercial materials or study programs with a simple search online. You can learn more about the CFA program and the exams at https://www.cfainstitute.org/programs/cfaprogram/Pages/index.aspx. On that page, follow the link to "Register" in order to begin your application. That page contains everything you need about registering for the exam and applying for CFA certification after you complete all requirements. Before you even begin a CFA program, you should discuss your plan with your direct supervisor. Some companies will value this certification, while others may not place such a premium on it. You will be dedicating a great deal of time and effort to your study, and you need to know that the work will be beneficial. Assuming that your application is successful, you should then notify your supervisor when you obtain your certification. This good news should be entered in your personnel file and should help you advance in the company.
summary: Investigate a joint MBA/CFA program. Complete four years of work experience. Prepare for the CFA exams. Register for the CFA exams. Keep your employer advised of your progress and certification.
