Article: Scan through the piece of music and mark (if you can) any key changes, tempo changes, or change in dynamics. When you first begin sight-reading, you may attempt to count every beat, divide every rhythm, and tap maniacally to the beat. Relax! Every piece of music has hundreds of notes and trying to count and identify every single one can be exhausting and impossible. Instead, divide the piece into bigger chunks of music and try to read it that way.  Cut each measure into 2 parts, and note where the downbeats are. This is a method of interpreting the music in a more relaxed, musical way. Now you can look at 2 beats, or even an entire measure, at a time. This is a lot less chaotic than attempting to count each and every beat. While each piece of music you encounter is beautifully unique, there are certainly repeating patterns that you'll continuously encounter. Purchase sight reading practice materials. Children get better at reading words by reading multiple books. Musicians get better at reading music by sight reading multiple pieces. Try going online to sites like Piano Marvel to gain access to sight reading exercises and music pieces you can practice reading.  Also look online for free sheet music websites. Ask your music teacher if they have extra music they’d be willing to let you copy. Practice often. The best sight readers are musicians who are relaxed and confident in their skills. Becoming an experienced sight reader can take years, but implementing good practice habits is something you can do right now. Try to practice your sight reading for at least 15 minutes every day.  Write down what you practiced and how long you practiced in your journal. Practice sight reading slowly. You can always pick up the pace after you feel more comfortable with the music. Not only will practice drills help you recognize certain patterns and memorize note types, key signatures, and time signatures, it will also help you become a more confident musician. Websites like TheSightReadingProject.com allow you to practice for free online. Grab a cheap music book, flip to a random page, and start sight-reading something. Just like with any skill, the more you sight read, the more confident and proficient you will become. As you feel more comfortable with the basics, you can start fine-tuning your skills.

Article: The key ingredient in your filter that removes impurities from the vodka is generally a charcoal filter. This kind of filter removes oil and sugar, along with any other impurities, from the vodka that that make it taste less than delicious. Using a small funnel can help you pour your vodka into your filter's reservoir more easily, resulting in less liquor spilled. Give your vodka a firm swirl after completing each filtration cycle so that impurities are evenly distributed. This will create a consistent taste throughout your filtered batch and prepare it for the next round of filtration. You should also keep your vodka chilled, as colder temperatures will cause impurities to be easier for your filter to catch. While your vodka is dripping through the filter, you might place it in a freezer to help the filter catch impurities. Continue to regularly agitate your vodka and keep it in a cold place as you continue to filter. You'll want to use a clean container for the filtered vodka to collect into, and for best results, you may want to change your filter every few filtration cycles.  As your filter strains impurities out of your vodka, its ability to continue to do so diminishes. While it's unlikely you'll need to change your filter after a single filtration, you should pay attention to your “change filter” indicator and swap in a new one when necessary. For filters without a “change filter” indicator, you may want to use a new filter every 2-3 filtration cycles for best results. Remember to swirl each completely filtered batch of vodka to improve its consistency. The filtration process causes the composition of the vodka to become disturbed. You'll want to give your recently filtered vodka some rest time (15-30 minutes should do the trick) before you then use it for drinking.

Pour the vodka though a standard water filter. Agitate your vodka and keep it in a cool place. Filter your vodka 2-3 more times. Allow your filtered vodka to stand briefly.
Article: Rollers should be left in your hair for around 10 hours so a good time to have them in is while you sleep. Since you will need to wash your hair before putting in the rollers, it also makes sense to do this at night. It is best to put in the curlers when your hair is damp so that the curls last longer. Additionally, the hair will be easier to work with if it is damp.  Let your hair air dry rather than using a towel. Using a towel will make your hair difficult to put into rollers. Only use water when washing your hair before a curling. Combing your hair can help straighten it out so that the rollers will be more effective. Refer to this article about combing for more information. Continue combing until the comb does not catch any knots. It is best to use a spray as a cream can leave white flakes behind in your hair. Let the spray sit in your damp, combed hair for around 3-5 minutes before putting in the rollers. Divide your hair into equal 1-inch wide sections. Roll each of these sections into the roller so that your hair looks uniformly curly after the rollers are removed. Continue putting in the rollers until all of your hair is rolled up. If you do not have naturally curly hair, hairspray is the key to ensuring your curls will last a long time. Do not use much more than three sprays since too much hairspray can be damaging to your hair and the environment. Remove the rollers slowly so that your hair does not snag. Instead of pulling the rollers, roll them out. Reverse the process of putting them in. Apply even more hairspray to ensure that your curls last for a long time.
