Summarize the following:
Wash as usual and then dry your clothes. Check again and see if the stain has now gone. If you still aren’t satisfied you can repeat the process but you probably will only see results with diminishing returns.

summary: Toss the scrubbed clothing into the washing machine.


Summarize the following:
Set aside time to work on math at the same time and in the same place everyday. Doing so will help you avoid procrastinating and make it easier to get into “math” mode (rather than sitting and staring blankly at the math book for 10 minutes).  After putting in your study time, reward yourself by doing something you enjoy. It will motivate you to get through your math work and help you associate it with something pleasurable. Take a break every hour. Don’t try to slog through four unbroken hours of math problems--you won’t be able to maintain necessary focus and you’ll quickly tire yourself out. Instead, take a quick break to stand up, stretch, get a drink, or use the bathroom every hour. Your study habits have a huge influence on your success in math. And it’s not just about the quantity of study time, it’s about the quality.  Work with a tutor or study-partner. Having someone to whom you can address questions and who can help point out mistakes is often crucial to effective learning. If you encounter questions neither you nor your partner can answer, write them down and bring them to the instructor. Make note cards. Write out important concepts and formulas on note cards so that you can easily refer to them while doing problems and use them for study guides before exams. Study in a quiet place. Distractions, whether aural or visual, will detract both from your ability to pay attention and to retain information. Study when you’re alert and rested. Don’t try to force yourself to study late at night or when you’re sleep-deprived. You won’t be able to concentrate sufficiently, which leads to unwitting mistakes and frustration. When sitting down to read a math section in the textbook, read strategically.  First gather an overview. Read the title and headings, then read the introductory remarks and summary paragraphs to give yourself a global view of the topic. Look for main ideas. Next, look over the section to gather the main ideas: look for and read bolded or italicized words, bulleted lists, pictures and tables. Read the full section. Next, read the section in full from beginning to end--this should move comparatively quickly because you already have an idea of the point and main ideas of the section. Read with a pencil in hand. Write down and complete each sample problem given. This will help you actively absorb what’s being demonstrated and help you recognize problem concepts early on. Set the section aside and write down the main idea and key ideas. Recall tends to fade immediately after reading, so taking the time to recall what you’ve just read after reading will give you a significant memory advantage. Make connections. Think about how the new material you’ve learned relates to and builds on what you’ve previously learned. Making these connections will help you better understand and integrate the new material. Review. Finally, after reading, reflecting on, and completing the new material, you’ll need to return to it as time goes on and you get closer to taking a test or exam. In math, each topic builds upon the next, so, much like reading, it’s difficult if not impossible to make forward progress if you haven’t mastered all of the necessary steps. If you’re struggling with a particular idea or concept, don’t skip it and move ahead. Instead, seek help from the instructor or a tutor until you’ve mastered the idea. Avoid trying to solve math problems in your head. Instead, write out each step of the solution without skipping steps.  If you don’t write out each step as you go, you may miscalculate without realizing and be unable to retrace your steps when trying to fix and learn from your mistake. Don’t do math problems in pen and work out problems vertically and neatly, with only one step per each line.  Not only will working neatly make it easier for you to systematically solve a problem and avoid mistakes, but many teachers also grade math exercises based on the completeness of the steps to the solution, not just the solution itself. It can be easy to freeze up when confronted with a math problem to solve, but having a basic strategy of attack can help get you through.  Understand the problem. Start by reading the whole question and determining what problem it’s asking you to solve. Identify which skills and concepts you’ll need to solve the problem. This will give you an overall sense of what you’ll need to do to find the solution. For word problems, sketch out the scenario rather than try to picture it in your head. Even if the problem includes a sketch, make your own--it’s important that it makes sense to you if it’s going to help you solve the problem.  Review your solution. Look over your work and check that you’ve answered the question and that your solution to the problem makes sense. If it seems off, go back over your work and look for mistakes or missteps.

summary: Make studying math a priority. Create good study habits. Read purposefully. Master one concept before moving on to the next. Do problems neatly and completely. Have a plan to tackle each problem.


Summarize the following:
Use your old brake lines as guides, cutting each line ahead of time so that you can visualize how much extra tubing you have (or need to buy, if you're short). "Chamfering" is simply creating a slope at the end. You want to use a file or a bench grinder to slant roughly 1/2" of the end. It will look a bit like a pencil without the lead in the center. You want to install the fitting so that it can be screwed on over your flare. Make sure you add the fitting now, as it can be difficult to add later. Most lines are flared on both ends, so make sure you add two fittings, pointing opposite directions, before beginning. The long free piece of the flaring tool should be clamped firmly into a table vice, keeping it in place as you put pressure down to flair the line. The actual flaring tool should hang over the edge of the table, as the brake lines need to drop down below the tool as you work. You can do this free-handed if you don't have a vice, but it is much easier with one. This is the part you'll be flaring, but you don't need much exposed to make your connection. 1-2mm above the flaring base should be enough. Note how, in the video, the tube is in the far left hole of the flaring tool. Thus, the left-most screw is tightened first, keeping the tube in place, before the screw on the right is tightened. These only need to be hand-tightened. You want a nice flat surface to create your connection. Make sure it has a nice flat top. Take a small reaming tool and insert it straight into the top of the line, rotating it with even pressure down into the tube. This will ream out the inside edge of the tube.
summary: Cut the tubing to the required length with your tubing cutter. Chamfer the ends of the tubes that you'll be double-flaring. Slide the fitting onto the line, with the threading facing the side you just cut. Mount your flaring base in a vice. Slide the tube into the appropriate sized hole on the flaring base so that the chamfered end barely pokes out the top. Tighten the flaring base around the tube, starting with the screws closest to your brake tube. File down the top of the tube so that it is flush with the flaring tool. Use a reaming tool to clean out the inside edge.
