Q: Because paperbag waist pants tend to be baggier and add more volume to your figure, it's best to wear them with a fitted top. That will help balance the proportions in your outfit for the most flattering look. For a casual look, a fitted tee shirt or tank top work best with your paperbag waist pants. For a dressed up look, wear the pants with a fitted button-down blouse for an office-appropriate outfit. A fitted sweater can work for a casual or an office look depending on the style of the pants. Even if your top is fitted, it can have an unflattering look if it sits over the paperbag waist of your pants. That's why it's best to tuck your top into the pants so the waist detail is highlighted and you don't add any more bulk to your midsection. If you aren't a fan of tucking in tops, consider pairing the paperbag waist pants with a bodysuit that naturally rests beneath the waistline. Cropped tops are another option when you're wearing paperbag waist pants. Because they typically end above the waistline, they allow you to show off the paperbag waist and don't add any bulk to the area. You can opt for a looser fitting top if you're wearing a cropped style because the extra fabric won't compete with the pants' waistband given the higher hemline. You can wear jackets, cardigans, and blazers with paperbag waist pants, but choose slim styles that won't add too much bulk to your look. Avoid boyfriend style blazers or cardigans, which are too loose to work with the pants. Consider the length of the your layering pieces too. It's best to choose either a cropped style or a longer piece that hits at mid-thigh, so it doesn't hit right at the waist where it will compete with the pants' waistband.
A: Choose a form-fitting top. Tuck in your top. Pair the pants with a cropped top. Opt for slim layering pieces.

Q: The mental stimulation from reading can help improve thinking skills and memory. Reading improves your brain's mental flexibility, an important part of memory retention, by stimulating your entire mind and keeping every part of your brain active. You don't need to read an entire book a day. At least 15-20 minutes of continuous reading can give you the mental benefits you need to be more intelligent. Listening to audio books is a convenient way to read every day. Reading more fiction will help you become better able to empathize with other people and view the world from their perspective, because novels and short stories encourage you to understand the motivations and points of view of multiple characters. The ability to understand other people requires a high degree of emotional intelligence, and fiction is an easy way to improve yours. Fiction also improves your cognitive flexibility by mentally placing you in different situations and settings, allowing you to imagine how you would respond. Reading the news keeps you informed and a steady diet of national, local, and international news will make you smarter, sharper, and more intelligent. Whether it's a traditional newspaper or a news app on your smartphone or tablet, aim to read at least the latest headlines for the day. Don't neglect your local news it's just as important to stay informed about what's going on in your community as it is to learn about what's going on in the broader world. Talk radio is a convenient way to absorb the day's news.
A: Read a little bit every day to improve cognitive function. Read more fiction to become more emotionally intelligent. Read the news every day to stay current on what is going on in the world.

Q: This is the part of your guitar where the strings are. A fretboard, or fingerboard, should only be cleaned once or twice a year, so that the natural oils and moisture on your guitar that are picked up through the contact with your fingers remain on the guitar. Using your cloth, lightly dampen it with water or distilled vinegar, and gently wipe away the dirt or grime you find on your fretboard. When cleaning your guitar, make sure you wring out your damp cloth as much as possible -- you don't want to oversaturate your guitar with water or cleaning products. For those really dirty spots on your fretboard, you can use a piece of extra fine #000 or #0000 steel wool to scrub them out. Because steel wool can get caught to the magnets of your pickups, you might want to cover up your pickups if you choose to use steel wool. Moving down the length of your guitar, clean the body of your guitar -- the front, back, and sides -- with the same damp cloth. Make sure you rinse out the cloth so that you don't just spread the dirt to other areas of your guitar. Move the cloth in circular motions across the body of your guitar. As you clean your guitar you may notice some spots that don't come off just by wiping them with the cloth. Fingerprints, smudges, or dirtier spots may need a little bit of moisture, so "huff" warm breath on your guitar, just as you would if you were cleaning a window. Then, wipe with the damp cloth. If this still isn't enough you can use a small amount of mild detergent with water. After you have cleaned these spots, buff with a dry cloth to remove streaks. The bridge is located on the body of the guitar, below the sound hole, and it supports the strings of your guitar. To clean the bridge of your guitar, use the same method as the fretboard, dampening a cloth and wiping down the bridge to remove dust, dirt, and grime. For the difficult spots, you can use a toothbrush or pipe cleaner to gently scrub away the dirt. These are the keys at the top of your guitar neck, on the headstock of your guitar. To clean these keys you can spray a dry cloth with glass cleaner and polish each key to bring back the shine. These are usually located on an electric guitar, on the body of the guitar in place of the sound hole. If your pickups look a little dirty you can clean them up with a damp cloth, but if you spot rust on your pick ups, carefully remove them from your guitar. Once you have unscrewed your pickups (using an Allen wrench is an easy way to do this), clean them with a rust-dissolving agent. You can also remove rust spots using a white pencil eraser or a cotton ball with a small amount of lighter fluid. Once you have cleaned your pickups, screw them back onto your guitar and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Some guitar experts suggest not to polish your guitar frequently, as the polish can build up and while it looks nice cosmetically, it may dampen the sound of your guitar. If you are going to polish your guitar, use a polish that contains pure carnauba wax and no solvents or petroleum products. Spray your polish on a cloth and gently wipe down your guitar. If your guitar has a satin finish, do not polish or buff it. Buffing a satin finish will cause it to look blotchy. You should also avoid polishing vintage guitars. Follow the above directions for how to protect your vintage guitars.
A: Clean the fretboard and neck. Clean the body of your guitar. Clean your bridge as you would the fretboard. Wipe down the tuning keys. Polish your pickups. Polish your finish.

Q: Matched grip position is the starting position in which you hold your drumsticks. Grip the stick by hooking your pointer finger around the stick, and grasping the stick with the pad of your thumb. You should be holding the stick approximately 4 inches from the bottom of the stick. Then wrap your other three fingers around the drumstick. The drumstick should be gently (but securely) resting in the palm of your hand. Normally when drumming, your hands (and sticks) are in a horizontal position. For the spin, turn your hand so you're holding the drumstick vertically. Remain holding the drumstick with your pointer finger and thumb. Put your middle, ring, and pinky fingers behind the stick while still keeping the drumstick vertical.
A:
Hold the stick in matched grip position. Position your hand vertically. Pinch the stick and release your other fingers.
