Q: Bridal magazines are a great way to get a fuller sense of what kinds of dresses are on the market. Even though you may have an idea of what kind of fit you're looking for, there are still many other factors to choosing the perfect dress. Apart from fit, there are also several other elements that are important to narrow down what style of dress you want. Picking out how you want your ideal dress to look mostly has to do with personal preference and style. Think about the neckline of your dress. Do you prefer a high neck, a scoop neck, a V-neck, or another kind of neckline? Consider whether you prefer the look of gauzy, flowy dresses or ones that are more fitted. Think about the color of your ideal dress. Is it a traditional white dress or another color? If you like white dresses, think about whether you like pure white or a shade of off-white. Think about what length you would like, and what would suit you. Also consider what amount of detailing you want for your dress. While some brides like intricate beading and embellishments, some prefer unembellished gowns where the fabric and the cut make the statement. The Internet is another great resource to turn to. Not only are there thousands of great sites that have wedding dress picture galleries, but you can also search for your preference in dresses. Now that you have narrowed down the unique characteristics of your dress, do a Google search of these elements for inspiration. You can Google phrases like "glittery wedding gown" or "V neck wedding dress" if you have a sense of what you want your dress to look like beyond its fit. Take images that you have collected of your favorite wedding dresses and styles. You can print them out to make a physical collage, or you can make a Pinterest board so you can access the pictures from your computer. Sometimes making a collage or board can make sense of what kind of dresses you like. You may not really know why you like a dress when you look at it individually, but if you put pictures together of different dresses you like, you may start to see similarities in style. Before you go shopping for dresses, you want to make sure that you have all your research with you. This can make the whole process of shopping easier, and it will help whoever is fitting you know what you want. Make sure to consolidate your research, whether it be pictures, collages or notes. You can even create a kind of "mission statement" from your research, something like "I am looking for an off-white floor-length empire dress."
A: Look at bridal magazines. Narrow down the characteristics of your ideal dress. Use the Internet to individualize your research. Make a collage of your favorite styles. Consolidate your research.

Q: Whether you keep a more old-fashioned paper file or a digital file, make a single place for all of your financial records. Create subcategories that identify the type of bill or expense. If you're keeping digital records, you may be able to use your email account to help organize your records. Use the same email address for all of your bills and create tags or filters to put those billing statements in categories. To reduce clutter in your inbox, open a separate account for bills and don't use that email address for personal email. You can also scan your bills and make PDFs to keep on your computer as a digital copy. Keeping your income statements and receipts in one place will make for fewer headaches come tax time. If you're keeping paper files, create a separate folder specifically for deductible expenses. Within your file for deductible expenses include files with categories, such as home and office expenses, mileage and vehicle expenses, childcare expenses, and medical expenses. Go through your expense files at least once a month. If you paid a bill that you believe is deductible, move it to the deductible file (or make a copy of it and keep it in both places). Any document that has your signature, account number, medical, legal, or other identification information should be shredded rather than simply thrown in the trash. By leaving this information intact you are putting yourself at risk for identity theft. If you don't own a shredder, you can buy a basic one online or at office supply stores for typically around $20 or $30. There are more expensive versions that may shred faster, or shred more documents at once, or that also shred CDs or credit cards. It's up to you whether a fancier shredder is worth the investment for you. You can also subscribe to a shredding service if you don't want to do all that work yourself. For example, in the US, office supply stores such as Staples or Office Depot will shred your documents for you at the rate of about $1 per pound. Just as you may do a spring cleaning of your living space, your financial records could use a yearly deep-clean as well. At the end of the calendar year, go through your files and shred or delete records you no longer need to keep. Generally, you can follow this schedule: Keep for 1 year: monthly utility bills, pay stubs, credit card statements, investment statements, bank statements, and the like. Keep year-end summary statements for 3 years. Keep for 7 years: receipts for major purchases, income tax records, loan contracts, mortgage contracts and payment records, investment purchase records, year-end investment summaries, other final payment documents. Keep indefinitely: medical records, real estate deeds, and car titles (as long as you own the car). Although they aren't necessarily financial records, birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, and degrees or diplomas also fall in this category.
A: Keep all of your statements and billing notices in one place. Include income statements and receipts for deductible expenses. Buy a shredder to use when disposing of financial documents. Purge records you no longer need once a year.

Q: First write out the pH equation. Next, identify the values you have by writing them directly below your equation. For example, if you know the pH is a value of 10.1, write it on the paper below the pH equation. Rearranging the equation will require a strong understanding of algebra. To calculate concentration from pH, you must understand that the inverse of log10 is "10 to the power of ..." Start by shifting the minus sign over from the log side to the pH side. Then raise 10 to the power of (each side). "10 to the power of" and log10 are inverses of each other and cancels out. For example, pH = -log10[H3O+] will mold into [H3O+] = 10-pH. pH can then be filled in as 10.1 When working with inverse log, the calculator process is unique. Remember that log is a type of multiplication by 10. To enter your equation, key in 10. Next, hit the "EXP" exponent button. Key in the negative sign followed by the value. Hit solve. For example, take a pH value of 10.1. Key in "10" followed by "EXP." Now key in "-/+" to have our value be negative. Finally, key in the pH of "10.1". Hit solve. You should get about 7.943-11, or 7.943*10-11. This means our concentration is 7.943*10-11 M. A neutral pH of 7 equates to a hydronium ion concentration of 10-7 M. A solution with a pH of 10.1 is basic, so it will have less hydronium ions than that. If we look at our answer, 7.943*10-11, we do indeed see that this number is way smaller than 10-7, so our answer does make sense.
A:
Identify the known unknowns. Rearrange the equation. Solve the equation. Think about your answer.
