Leave a little of the stem on each carnation to preserve the base of the flower and to thread with wire. They should be slightly longer than your carnations and approximately the size you want your corsage to be. You will need as many wires as you have carnation blooms. Push it halfway through and then bend each end so that it goes straight down next to the remaining stem. Make sure it is bent so that there is a small amount of horizontal wire that goes through the stem, instead of being simply bent in half. This self-adhesive tape is available at most craft stores. Attach it at a downward angle. Try to wrap it tightly on the first try. The tape is tacky and can become sticky if you have to remove it. The stems should align with the artificial stem you just created. Use the same downward spiral motion that you used before.  You may choose to have them in descending order, in layers or 1 at the top and 2 near the base. Grasp the carnations together by the stems. Wrap them together down to the bottom of the last stem with a downward spiral motion. You can always cut off extra when you are making your bow. Create a loop on the opposite side and thread it through your thumb and forefinger. You should have a figure 8. Keep the middle between your fingers. Extend it halfway through and pierce the ribbon again coming down. Your bow should be secured in the center and ready to use. Fluff up the ribbon until it is arranged how you want it to look.  Curl the stem in a circular pattern around the pencil to create a spiral.

Summary: Snip each carnation head off with shears. Snip some filler ferns, leaves or flowers. Cut several 6 inch (15.2 cm) pieces of 22-gauge wire with a wire cutter. Thread a piece of wire through the upper part of the stem, just below the base. Cut a 6 inch (15.2 cm) piece of green florist's tape. Affix the top to the point just above where the wire is inserted into the stem. Wrap the tape around the wire at a downward angle until you reach the ends. Arrange the stems of your filler flower around your carnation. Cut another 6 inch (15.2 cm) piece of florist's tape and wrap the stems around the artificial stem. Repeat this process for each of the spray carnations you are using. Arrange each of the carnations in the order you would like them to appear. Cut a long piece of florist's tape. Cut a very long piece of wired silk ribbon. Create a loop in the ribbon and place it between your thumb and forefinger. Continue looping and stacking the ribbon in 4 to 5 figure 8 loops. Take a 6 inch (15.2 cm) piece of wire and thread it through the center of your loops. Align the ribbon with the base of the carnations. Wrap a long piece of florist's tape around the bow wire and the larger corsage stem. Place a pencil or pen near the bottom of the corsage stem. Place 2 pins in the top of the spiral, for pinning on a lapel or dress. Trim any spray that extends too far from the sides of the corsage. Keep the corsage in a plastic container in the refrigerator until it is ready to be given.


Take advantage of social media websites to look for positions. In addition, use social media to promote yourself. Create a LinkedIn account. Establish a professional profile on Facebook and Twitter. By using social media, you'll expand your reach. Most major cities host an overseas job fair every couple of months. To find an overseas job fair, run an internet search for overseas job fairs in large cities near you. When you attend these fairs, you'll find a variety of employers and staffing companies recruiting people for jobs in other countries. You might also consider finding a headhunter local to the country to get some leads. Depending on the size of your current employer, you might be able to request a transfer overseas. Large multinational corporations often favor transferring current employees rather than hiring new ones. Talk to your supervisor or manager to find out if a transfer is an option. The more people you have in your network, the higher the chances that you'll find a position in the country and industry you want to work in.  Attend conferences and join trade associations in the country you want to work in. Spend extra time socializing at conferences and other meetings. You may meet someone who can help you get a job. Reconnect with old associates (by phone, email, or by meeting for lunch or coffee)who may have connections in the country you want to work in.

Summary: Use social media to inform associates you're looking for work overseas. Attend job fairs with international employers. Inquire with your present employer about a transfer. Establish and strengthen connections you have in the country.


A wave function or wave function is a mathematical tool in quantum mechanics that describes the quantum state of a particle or system of particles. It is commonly applied as a property of particles relating to their wave-particle duality, where it is denoted ψ(position,time) and where |ψ|2 is equal to the chance of finding the subject at a certain time and position.  For example, in an atom with a single electron, such as hydrogen or ionized helium, the wave function of the electron provides a complete description of how the electron behaves. It can be decomposed into a series of atomic orbitals which form a basis for the possible wave functions. For atoms with more than one electron (or any system with multiple particles), the underlying space is the possible configurations of all the electrons and the wave function describes the probabilities of those configurations. In solving homework problems involving the wave function, familiarity with complex numbers is a prerequisite. Other prerequisites include the math of linear algebra, Euler's formula from complex analysis and the bra–ket notation.

Summary: Learn about wave function.


before the season starts. Being a flyer in cheerleading requires a ton of body strength to keep your balance. Keep up your exercises even when you aren’t cheerleading to be ready for the season ahead. Practice leg exercises, upper body exercises, and core exercises to be able to do any stunt that is asked of you. Ask the other cheerleaders on your team if they want to work out with you during the off-season. That way, you can all keep each other motivated to stay in shape. Fliers need to be able to do movements like leg lifts and the splits while in the air. Do stretches every single day so that you keep your flexibility up. Try doing stunt moves, like scorpions and leg lifts, on the ground so you are stretching the right muscles. Pratice holding them as you stand on the ground to maintain your balance. Your balance will be constantly shifting while you are being held in the air. First, do your stunt positions on flat ground. Once you have those mastered, try your stunts while standing on a cushion or pillow. This will mimic the balance corrections you will need to do while being held in the air. Practicing your stunts on the ground will also give you more confidence in your body movements when it comes time to be held by your bases. It can be easy to get distracted by the fliers next to you, your bases, or even the crowd you are performing for. Keep your mind on your own body positions and balance to make sure you are doing your stunts to the best of your ability. Practice doing your stunts in front of a crowd so you know how to focus when there are distractions around. Being aware of yourself will also help you avoid injury and avoid injuring your bases.
Summary: Get in shape Stretch every day to become more flexible. Practice good balance on the ground. Be aware of your body.
