Article: Choose a topic that interests you and that you understand very well. Then, find a way to relate the information you need to memorize to the subject you already understand. For example, you could relate the material you need to memorize for a math test to the rules of baseball if you are a sports fan, or use a cooking analogy to help you remember a chemistry concept if you are a fan of cooking. The sooner you start memorizing, the better! It takes time and repetition to memorize something. Plan to begin memorizing the material at least 1 week in advance, and even sooner if possible. Work on memorizing the material for a set amount of time every day. The time you will need will vary depending on the amount of material you need to memorize. For example, if you need to memorize 20 new vocabulary words for a test, then you might only need to study for 30 minutes per day over the course of a week. However, if you need to memorize lines for a leading role in a play, then you will need to start memorizing 3 to 4 weeks in advance and plan to study your lines for at least an hour daily. You might find the material familiar when you re-read it and think that this means you have memorized it. However, this is not an accurate way to check for memorization. Self-testing is better for seeing how well you are retaining the material. Try to recall the information without looking at your notes. If you can recall the information accurately without help, then you have memorized it. For example, if you need to be able to explain photosynthesis for a science test, then see if you can do this without checking your notes first. If you need to be able to recite a poem from memory, then try to recite it. Teaching other people the material that you have studied is another potent way to commit it to memory. After you have studied the material and feel that you have a good understanding of it, try to explain it to a friend or family member. If you can do this without checking your notes, then you have memorized the information.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Relate the information to something you already understand. Memorize the information over several days or weeks. Quiz yourself on the material you have studied. Teach other people what you have learned.
Article: Primer will help the spray paint stick to the refrigerator. Hold the can about 8 inches (20cm) away from the fridge as you spray, moving the can back and forth constantly to avoid spraying too heavily in one area. An oil-based primer will help prevent rust, too. Shake the primer can for 1 minute before you start spraying. Check the instructions on your can to see how long the drying time is for that specific type of paint. It can vary from 30 minutes to 3 hours based on the manufacturer. Leaving the primer to dry overnight will ensure it's totally dry before you start painting. Since spray paint is hard to control in a small space, tiny patterns or multicolored designs are difficult to do. Stick to a solid color or 2 complementary colors so your paint job looks professional instead of sloppy. For example, if your color scheme is navy, baby blue, and cream, paint the top half baby blue and the bottom half navy. Neutrals like white, black, gray, or chrome are always good options for a subtler effect. Avoid eggshell or matte finishes which show fingerprints and smudges. Instead of spraying one thick coat, spray multiple lighter layers to prevent dripping. It's also best to hold the can about 8 inches (20cm) away from the refrigerator while you spray, just like you did for the primer. Allow each coat to dry before you apply the next coat. Shake the paint can for at least 1 minute before you start spraying to thicken it up. If you notice any drips once a coat has dried, use a piece of fine, 150 to 220 grit sandpaper to lightly sand it off. Spray paint should dry enough in 1 to 2 hours for you to apply a new coat. Wear latex gloves while spraying if you want to avoid staining your hands with the paint. If you try to take the fridge back inside when it's not totally dry, you could smudge or chip the paint. It will dry best in a warm, dry spot. Paint takes longer to dry in high humidity or cool temperatures. If you want to prolong the life of your paint, you can spray a protective sealant over it once the paint is dry. Apply 1 coat of sealant and let it dry for at least 72 hours. A spray enamel sealant will prevent the refrigerator from rusting.

Cover the entire surface with an oil-based spray primer. Let the primer dry for at least 1 hour. Choose 1 or 2 paint colors based on the color scheme of your kitchen. Spray the paint in thin coats, letting each one dry completely. Let the paint dry for 24 hours before moving the fridge back.
Article: Cuffs are one of the easiest, most popular ways to pair skinny jeans with ankle boots. Fold the hem once, and then fold it over again to create a double cuff. The cuff should bring the lower edge of each jean leg just above your natural ankle, revealing a thin strip of skin between the boot and the jeans. Try to make it so that the visible strip of skin is around 1 inch (2.5cm) wide. A small glimpse of skin can help lengthen the visual leg line, but too much visible skin can create a large block that makes your leg look shorter. A single cuff can create a bold block at the bottom of the jean, without revealing too much skin. Fold the hem up one time to make a cuff that's 12 inches (2.55.1cm) wide. Single cuffs are great for people who have long legs. If you have shorter legs, try to keep the cuff smaller than 1 inch (2.5cm) to avoid making your leg look short. If you don't like the cuffed look, try folding the hems inward instead of outward. Tuck the hem inside of the leg of jeans until you create about 1 inch (2.5cm) of space in between your jeans and your boots. It's best to fold the jeans only one time for a hidden cuff. To keep the fold in place throughout the day, you can iron the new hem at the bottom of the pant leg. While it might seem tempting to tuck your jeans into the boots, doing so can actually make your legs look shorter. When your jeans are tucked, they can bunch around your ankles, making them look wide and disheveled. This is even true for skinny jeans, which tend to be tighter than straight-leg or bootcut. Even though they might fit into the top of the boots, you should cuff them to prevent bunching.

Roll the hem of your jeans up 2 times to create a thin cuff. Cuff the hem of a pair of tight skinny jeans 1 time for a bolder look. Fold the hem inside of the jeans for a hidden cuff. Avoid tucking the hem into the boot.
