Problem: Article: You will need a smartphone with tethering enabled through the carrier. Many 3G plans in the US allow tethering automatically. Using your phone as the network connection will bypass any restrictions placed on the school network.  Android - Tap "More" in the "Wireless & Networks" section. Tap "Tethering & portable hotspot". iOS - Tap "Personal Hotspot". Android - Check the "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot" box. iOS - Toggle the "Personal Hotspot" toggle on. Android - Tap "Set up Wi-Fi hotspot". Check the "Show password" box. iOS - Tap "Wi-Fi Password". Click the computer's wireless network icon and select your mobile phone from the list of available networks. Enter the password to connect to the network. After connecting your phone to the computer, you should be able to select it by clicking on the network icon in your system tray (Windows) or menubar (OS X).
Summary: Understand which phones can do this. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or Android. Open the Portable Hotspot/Tethering section. Turn on your phone's hotspot. Get the wireless password. Connect to the hotspot on the computer. Connect your phone to the computer via USB if it doesn't have wireless.

Problem: Article: Sketch triangles, squares, squiggles, and lines. Experiment with different sizes and shapes. Get creative: try odd shapes like trapezoids or octagons to spice up your design.  Before you draw on your shoes, practice on a piece of paper. That way, you'll be ready for the final design. Vary your lines. Create squiggles, dotted lines, or swirls. The bolder your lines, the better. Decide whether you want thick or thin ones and how big you want them to be. Patterns look best if each dot or line is the same size. Practice drawing dots on your paper. When you're ready, start drawing dots or lines on your shoe. For your first project, start simple, then try more intricate designs once you've got the hang of painting. Nature themes look beautiful on fabric shoes. Draw trees,  flowers, and your favorite animals. Or, if you're a fan of a certain book, movie, or tv series, try drawing the characters on your shoes. Cartoon characters work best because of their flat and simple design.  Splatter paint can give your shoes a wild design. If you can draw something on a flat design, you can draw it on a shoe. Use paper as your practice board and draw your design several different ways. Continue experimenting until you are completely satisfied with your drawing. Do not draw on your shoes until you have finished your design. Practicing your sketches can feel boring, but you will avoid more long-term mistakes if you plan beforehand. Color in your design sketches and experiment with what colors look good together. Avoid creating color patterns that clash or do not look aesthetically pleasing together.  When you've chosen your colors, create a final sketch design and color it in. Your last sketch will be your blueprint as you paint your shoes. To make colors pop, place complementary colors next to each other. This will make both colors seem brighter in comparison. First, sketch your design in pencil so you can erase if needed. Then, trace over your design using a fine-tipped fabric pen or marker. You will appreciate a bold, clear outline when painting to avoid any mistakes. If you are not confident in your artistic abilities, use a stencil. Stencils are often available at craft stores. You can also create your own stencil, if desired. If any of your design areas are white, trace them on the painter's tape, cut out the design, and place the tape on the shoe.
Summary: Draw geometric shapes. Draw stripes or polka dots. Make a more intricate design. Sketch your design on paper. Choose your color scheme. Draw your design on the shoes. Cover areas you want unpainted with painter's tape.

Problem: Article: If you live in a place with mild winters - growing zone 10-12 or higher - you should be able to plant the poinsettia directly in the ground, where it will grow as a perennial and get larger with each passing year. If you're in a place where the temperature dips to freezing temperatures during the winter, you're better off keeping it in the pot as a houseplant. Poinsettia are native to Mexico, and they need a warm climate to thrive. If you bought the poinsettia during the winter as a decoration, keep the plant in the pot until spring, even if you live in a place with mild winters. If it came in foil remove the wrapper so water can drain from the pot. It needs to stay potted until the weather gets warm enough to transplant it. Water it whenever the soil starts to dry out.  At the beginning of spring, in March or April, cut the poinsettia back to about 8 inches. This will encourage it to begin a new growing cycle and get it ready for transplanting. Keep it watered and fertilize it once a month or so until early summer, when it's time for transplanting. Look for a place where the poinsettia will get morning sun as well as light or partial shade during the heat of the afternoon. Till the soil and loosen it to a depth of 12 to 16 inches (30 to 40 cm). Enrich the soil by adding organic compost if necessary. Poinsettias prefer rich, well-drained soil. Dig a hole as wide as the poinsettia's root ball and plant the poinsettia. Pat soil gently around the base of the stem. Mulch the area around the base of the plant with 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7 cm) of organic mulch. This keeps the soil cool and helps it retain moisture. You can apply a 12-12-12 or 20-20-20 compound at the start of the growing season or fertilize the plant with compost. If your soil is not very rich, you may need to fertilize the plants once a month. Water the plant at the base whenever the soil around the plant feels dry to the touch. Avoid overhead watering, which could cause fungal disease to form on the leaves of the plant. Pinch small growing shoots from poinsettias occasionally throughout the growing season to encourage the plants to flower. You can discard the shoots or use them to propagate new plants. Cut back old growth in late fall or early winter to encourage strong new growth the following spring. You can take 8 inch (20 cm) cuttings from the soft growing tips of poinsettia stems or 18 inch (45 cm) cuttings from the woody stems of the plant to create new poinsettia.  Dip the ends of each cutting into a rooting hormone, then insert it into a pot filled with potting soil or a vermiculite mix. Keep the soil in the pot moist, but not wet, for several weeks while the cuttings make roots. Add fresh mulch around the base of the plant to keep the soil warm for the winter months. Poinsettia can winter over in areas where soil temperatures do not fall below 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 Celsius). Dig the plants up and bring them indoors if you live in a climate where winters are cold and soil temperatures fall below 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 Celsius).
Summary:
Decide whether the climate is right. Care for the poinsettia until spring. Prepare a planting spot. Plant the poinsettia. Fertilize the poinsettia. Water the poinsettia throughout the growing season. Prune the poinsettia. Propagate poinsettia cuttings. Overwinter the poinsettia.
