Before you slice a mango, be aware that it has a large pit the shape of a giant almond in the center. Slice the mango as you would an apple, but take care to avoid the pit. Cut wedges into the mango that are no more than an inch thick. Once you're done slicing, you should have several slices of mango with the skin still on, and a pit that still has some skin on it. Here's what to do next: If you just want to eat the mango, pick up the slices by the skin and eat them. You can try to eat some of the looser skin around the pit, but don't eat the skin too close to the pit because it can be stubborn and will get stuck in your teeth worse than corn-on-the-cob. If you want to peel the mango, you can pick up the slices by the skin and gently scoop them out with a spoon. If the pieces aren't ripe enough for that, use a knife. Though cubed mango is a bit more versatile, fresh sliced mango can spice up many ordinary meals, from desserts to main courses. Make the most of your sliced mango by adding it to the following foods: Thai mango salad Sweet and spicy chicken Chicken with lime and cilantro Beef teriyaki Mango, corn, and black bean stew Mango and pineapple pie To do this, cut the mango into thin slices and dry the pieces to get dried mango. For a sour tang, mix the pieces in a ziplock bag with li hing mui powder, or a small amount of citric acid.

Summary: Slice the mango. Add the sliced mango to a variety of foods. Dry the sliced mango.

This is the time it takes an average college student to read the pages of a textbook. Keep this in mind as you schedule time for your reading. For instance, if you have to read 73 pages for an assignment, that is 365 minutes, or approximately six hours of reading. If you calculate that you have four hours of reading, we don't recommend trying to do all of it at one time. You may become tired and unfocused. Read for an hour at your lunch break, an hour in the evening, etc. Try to spread it out a bit, taking into consideration how many days you have to complete the assigned number of pages and the hours it will take you to read them. If you fall behind, you will find yourself skimming and speed-reading, which causes you to miss important information. Schedule some time to read each day so you can chip away at the assignment slowly and less stressfully. This is very important. You can't be expected to comprehend lots of information if there is noise around. Avoid reading in your bed if possible. Your brain most likely associates your bed with sleep, and it will want to do that if you are reading there. Sleep experts also say that doing "work" in bed can lead to sleeping problems, and only relaxing reading and activities should be done in bed so you don't start having a hard time falling and staying asleep. Go to a quiet room in your house, the library, a quiet coffee shop, or a park to read. Anywhere that has little distractions for you is best. If you have a family (or roommates) or have lots of responsibilities at home, go out. If having any people around at all distracts you, but your home is fairly quiet, stay in. Whatever works for you; you may have to experiment and see where you can study best. Are you being asked to write a paper, or do you have a big test that covers the assigned material? If there is a test, did the instructor offer a study guide? Take all of this into account as you focus on what you should spend the most time reviewing while you study. If you read carefully, highlighted and took notes, you should only need to read the textbook once. What you will re-read during studying is your highlighted phrases, your margin questions and/or notes, and your notebook notes. Read these as many times as necessary to fully understand the material. If you didn't take great notes, you may need to re-read. Studies show that there are huge benefits to talking out loud about what you are learning. Form study groups with your classmates, or talk with someone at home or another friend about what you are reading. Be sure to attend all of your classes, not just on test days or days that papers are due. Most likely there are discussions or lectures happening about the textbook material, and these are extremely beneficial to your long-term learning of the readings. If the instructor gave you math exercises to complete, or short answer questions to write, but they aren't necessarily graded, do them anyway. There is a purpose to the assigning of the work, and that is for you to further your understanding of the material from the book.

Summary: Multiply the number of pages in your assignment by 5 minutes. Give yourself breaks. Read each day. Read in a distraction-free zone. Understand what you will be assessed on. Read your notes multiple times. Talk to others about what you're studying. Complete all of the work assigned.

Dial Italy's international calling code into your phone, which is 00. This will signal that the phone number you are about to dial is out of the country. If you're calling from a cell phone, whether it's an Italian or American cell phone, you can press the "+" sign on the keypad instead of 00. After you dial 00, press 1 on your phone's keypad. This is the country code specifically for the United States, and will signify that the phone number you are about to dial is a U.S. number. If the phone number you wish to dial is listed online, in a directory, or spoken to you including the number 1 before the area code and next seven digits, you don't need to dial the "1" more than once. For example, you would dial 00-1-(###)-###-####, not 00-1-1-(###)-###-####. region. After inputting the international calling code (00) and the country code (1), dial the area code of the region of the United States you are trying to reach. A U.S. area code is always a three-digit number, and is often listed in parentheses before the following seven digits of the phone number, like so: (###)-###-####. A U.S. toll-free number (one without charges to call) replaces the area code with one of the following codes: 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844. However, toll-free numbers will not be free when calling from outside the U.S., and in fact may not work at all when dialed. Instead, call a company's alternative, standard phone number. Follow the international calling code (00), the country code (1), and the three-digit area code with the remaining seven digits of the U.S. phone number. After all numbers are entered, press the call button to place the call. All U.S. phone numbers contain ten digits total, with three for the area code plus the remaining seven digits, like so: (###)-###-####. Note that you should not include any special characters like "#," "-," "(," or ")" even though they may appear in these examples or wherever the number you are trying to dial is listed.
Summary: Dial "00" on the phone first. Dial "1" on the phone next. Dial the area code of the U.S. Dial the remaining seven digits.
