Practice the piece without any regard to time at first. Once you know the notes and chords and have a good grasp on the order they are played, then you can begin to focus on performing the piece at the appropriate rhythm. Slow practice will make for fast playing. Set your metronome to 60 or 80 BPM to begin with. Listen to the metronome for a few moments before you begin playing. You may want to tap your feet or watch the metronome to help you keep the time with your internal clock. Music is never equally difficult throughout the entire piece. Some spots will give you more trouble than others. Use the metronome at a slow speed and take it one note at a time until your hands become more familiar with required movements. You can also try adding in the notes one at a time to work out a trouble spot. Begin with just the first note of the piece. Play the note again, then add the second note. Stop. Start again with the first 2 notes and add the third note, and so on. Continue until you reach the end of the piece. Once you feel comfortable and confident playing the piece slowly, increase the tempo. Small increases are the best. Stick to about 5 BPM above the previous setting. Go through the piece until you are comfortable with performing at the higher speed. Then, increase the speed again. Keep raising the tempo slowly until you can perform the song at full speed. Make sure to play consistently with the metronome rather than faster or slower or you may learn to play certain parts of the piece at the wrong pace. Once you feel you have mastered a piece of music, you can try practicing the piece along with the metronome. You may not areas where your performance was not as even as you believed it to be. Work on those areas some more to become a better musician.

You have a higher chance of finding a compatible kidney donor through a family member, especially an immediate family member. You may consider asking your family members first about getting tested to be a kidney donor before you talk to friends or other acquaintances. The kidney donor must be over the age of 18. Though having a donor between the ages of 18 and 70 is ideal, people over 70 years old can donate an organ as long as they have a healthy medical history and are medically sound to withstand the operation. A good donor will also have a medical history free of kidney disease and will not have any major health issues that could lead to kidney problems. Preferably, you want a kidney donor who does not smoke tobacco or drink in excess. You should also try to find a donor who does not have diabetes and has a body weight within their normal range. If the donor is considered medically obese, they may need to try to lose weight in order to be a good donor. There are four different blood types, type O, type A, type B, and type AB. Type O is the most common blood type, followed by type A, type B, and then the rarest blood type, type AB. The donor's blood type must be compatible with your blood type for the transplant to go well. You should know your blood type and determine which blood types are compatible with yours so you can check to see if a donor will be a match. Type O blood types can donate to type O, A, B, and AB. Type A blood types can donate to type A and AB. Type B blood types can donate to type B and AB. Type AB can donate to type AB.

One-sentence summary -- Ask family members first. Look for individuals between the ages of 18 and 70. Make sure the donor has a healthy medical history. Know which blood type is compatible to yours.

Pay attention to your natural abilities. Think about areas where you excel. Commit yourself to discovering and cultivating your unique talents. For example, you may be good at a certain sport, school subject, art or instrument. Talent and success are both attractive qualities. Getting more involved with something you're good at can help you get noticed and acknowledged by others. Shower every day. Choose a mild soap and make sure to wash all areas of your body, including under your fingernails. Keep your nails well-trimmed. Use deodorant or antiperspirant. Avoid bad breath by practicing good oral health. Make sure to wear clean clothing, including socks. Opt for cotton clothing if you have a tendency to sweat a lot. You may want to wash your face up to twice per day. Shave as needed. If you show up to classes well-groomed, you'll probably feel better about yourself and attract more girls. Aim to dress maturely instead of boyishly. Wear classic pieces instead of splurging on what's trendy. Dress appropriately for your climate. Wear what makes you feel good about yourself. For example, don't buy oversized jeans just because they may be currently in fashion. You'll feel more confident in well-fitted pants than if you're constantly having to pull up your sagging jeans. Consider wearing a polo shirt instead of a t-shirt. Choose clothing that reflects the colors and necessary warmth of the season. Don't mumble. Talk loudly enough to be heard. Don't be afraid to give your opinion, but think about the impact of what you're going to say first. For example, don't compare a girl to someone you were in a previous relationship with. Talking just for the sake of talking shows nervousness. Try asking yourself before you speak, "Is this the truth? Is it nice to say? Is it important to say?" Smile, which shows that you're positive and approachable! Keep your posture straight. Avoid fidgeting, which can make you appear nervous. Positive body language helps others relate to you and respect you. If you're having trouble with slouching, practice keeping your back straight against a wall or a chair.

Unless you happen to have a backup car seat, it is important to start the cleaning process when you are sure you will not need it for awhile. Assuming the seat isn't so dirty as to need immediate attention, wait until you feel comfortable doing without the seat for at least several hours. An ideal time might be after your infant has been put to bed for the night. If, however, you're dealing with vomit, a blown-out diaper, or some other big mess, immediate "triage" cleaning is the best way to salvage the seat. Using baby wipes or damp rags or paper towels, wipe and scoop away any loose, sloppy, sticky, chunky, etc. debris. (We'll leave the details of the types of messes you can face to the imagination.) Clearing away this gunk will make the remaining cleaning portion easier to manage. Untie all the straps, and uninstall the seat. Doing so will allow you to wash the seat thoroughly without climbing into the car and getting everything wet. You'll also be able to easily reach all the parts of the infant seat. Take note of the de-installation to help you with the re-installation. Take pictures if necessary. Brush crumbs and debris off the car seat. Give the seat a shake to remove any hidden crumbs or other debris that has accumulated. If you have a vacuum cleaner with a small attachment, use it to remove any additional debris that may be stuck in partition walls and corners. Most infant car seats have removable fabric covers. If you have your manual handy, consult it. If not, you can generally start from the top, unfastening clips, snaps, and buttons until you reach the bottom of the seat. Once you have taken the cover off, you should also take off the straps. Try to memorize their location (or take a picture) so that you know how to put them back into place (this is especially important if you do not have your manual). For safety reasons, harness straps (and buckles, to a lesser extent) require special and gentle cleaning. See the relevant section of this article for more information, and always consult your owner's manual.
