Problem: Article: There are a couple of benefits from choosing a spot close to the lifeguard. First, it is good to have a lifeguard near when you have small children so that they can be reached quickly if something grows wrong. It is also good to be near a lifeguard because it is easier for children to remember where you are when a lifeguard station is nearby. Do not choose a spot directly in front of the lifeguard station. The lifeguard needs a clear path to the water and will ask you to move. Invest in a small tent that can be easily set up and taken apart. A tent is better than an umbrella if you will be bringing kids to the beach. It provides more shade, and it is a good place for them to nap if they need it. Make sure you find a spot on the beach that a tent can be set up without invading anyone else's space. The best type of tent to get is one that folds flat and can be zipped up in a case. They are easier to transport this way. A treasure hunt is a good way to keep your kids active and entertained. Bury things like golf balls, large shells, or plastic toys in the sand and have them dig for the "treasures." Bury the items close enough to your location so that you can keep an eye on them and give them clues. Put a bucket in the center of the "treasure" area and have them put the items they uncover into the bucket. Building a sand castle is a classic experience at the beach during childhood. Choose a spot where the castle won't be washed away, dig a well in the sand, and scoop up some sand. Then, add some water to the sand, squeeze the sand until it is compact, and begin building the castle until it is completed. Use a bucket to create shapes for the castle. The beach is a great place to fly a kite because it is usually pretty windy. Flying a kite is a great way to keep kids entertained, and it can serve as a fun challenge. If you don't already have a kite, one can typically be bought at a souvenir shop near the beach. Make sure to choose a spot with plenty of space and keep an eye on your children as they fly the kite. If you already have a kite, test it out before leaving for the beach to make sure it works. The beach is fun, but it also provides a rich learning environment for children. Take a walk around the beach and explore the shells, tide pools, plants, and sea life that has washed up on the beach, like starfish. You can make a list of things you would like your children to identify and make a game out of quizzing them on what the names are of things like crabs and seaweed. Make sure to warn your kids not to pick up anything dangerous, like broken shells with sharp edges.
Summary: Choose a spot near the lifeguard. Set up a tent. Go on a treasure hunt. Build a sand castle. Fly a kite. Explore the environment.

Problem: Article: You need to start with your cube in the solved position to make a checkerboard pattern. Also known as a chessboard, your Rubik's cube will have a checkered pattern on each side when you are done. Begin by looking at the green side of your cube. Turn the right side of the cube two clicks forward. The three green squares should end up on the opposite side of the cube. Then, still facing the green side take the left side of the cube and turn it two clicks forward as well. Keep the green center cube facing you. Then, turn the top row clockwise by 180 degrees (two clicks). Turn the bottom row 180 degrees as well. With the green center block still facing you, turn the front face of your cube by 180 degrees (two clicks), as if you are turning a dial. Turn the back side of your cube by 180 degrees as well. You've now created a checkerboard on all sides of your cube.
Summary: Start with a solved Rubik's cube. Turn the sides. Turn the top and bottom. Make your final spins.

Problem: Article: Many optimization tweaks from the past are now included by default in Firefox. To take advantage of them, update to the latest version. This happens automatically when you check your version number. These settings can cause bugs and slowdown for some users. You can usually revert them without a problem, but back up the file just in case so you can restore your old preferences: Open a new tab and enter about:support in the address bar. Look for "Profile Folder" and click Show Folder next to it (Show in Finder on a Mac). Go one level up from the folder that opens. You should see a folder with a string of letters and number, ending in ".default." Right-click this folder and choose "Copy," then right-click in a backup location and select "Paste." These settings are intended for advanced users, and could cause problems with your add-ons. It's best to change one setting at a time so you can test the effect. You can find tools online to test the speed of your browser precisely. Your browser limits the number of simultaneous connections to a single server. Upping this limit will make a noticeable change to pages with many images or videos, if your bandwidth can handle it. Increasing this too much is considered bad etiquette, and may get you banned from a server, but you have a little wiggle room: Search for network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server and double-click the Value. Increase this to a maximum of 10. Some users prefer 8 to be on the safe side. Search for network.http.max-connections. Set this value to 256, if it isn't already. Firefox displays small animations when opening or closing tabs. This is usually not an issue, but you can avoid some hang-ups if you tend to open or close many tabs at once: Set browser.tab.animate to False. Set browser.panorama.animate_zoom to False. Prefetching loads pages before you visit them, guessing which links you'll click on. When working correctly, this should only use idle browser time, and will actually increase load speed. If you have unusually slow load speeds, a buggy prefetch could be the issue. Make the following changes to disable both forms of prefetch, then reverse them if there's no speed up: Change network.dns.disablePrefetch to True. Change network.prefetch-next to False. Change the value of network.http.speculative-parallel-limit to 0. These functions use your graphics card to speed up certain functions, especially loading videos. However, this can cause slow load times or blurry text, especially with older operating systems or graphics cards. Try watching videos with these settings on and off to see which works best for you: Change webgl.disabled to True or False. Visit about:preferences#advanced in a new tab. Check or uncheck "Use hardware acceleration." Unlike most setting changes, you may need to restart Firefox for these to take effect.
Summary: Update Firefox. Back up your preferences file. Try one setting at a time. Adjust connections per server. Disable animations. Consider disabling prefetching. Toggle hardware acceleration and WebGL.

Problem: Article: (<marquee>) (<marquee style="height:20;width:200" scrollamount="200">) This number can be whatever you want it to be. Just remember: the lower the number, the faster the blink. (<marquee style="height:20;width:200" scrollamount="200" scrolldelay="500">) ) <marquee style="height:20;width:200" scrollamount="200" scrolldelay="500">Blinky Text!</marquee>)
Summary:
Start by putting a marquee tag. Then, put a style="" inside that tag (<marquee style="">) Put height:wateverheight;width:wateverwidth inside the style="" (<marquee style="height:20;width:200">) After the style="" put scrollamount="watevernumber" Make sure that number is exactly the same as the width! Put a scrolldelay="watevernumber". Type in your text (<marquee style="height:20;width:200" scrollamount="200" scrolldelay="500">Blinky Text! Put </marquee> at the end.
