Problem: Article: Once you're ready to start, install the solar panels. Choose the best type of panel for you and get enough of the to produce the amount of power you need. This is another area where a professional (or at least an expert) can be really helpful, as there is a lot of math involved in figuring out the necessary number of panels. You will need to connect the panels to a charge controller. This controller will help regulate the amount of power in the system, keeping your batteries from becoming damaged. Assuming you have DC batteries, you can connect your charge controller to your batteries. If you have AC batteries, you'll need to connect your inverter first (see next step). If you live in an area where AC power is used, you'll need to connect your batteries to an inverter, which converts the DC current created by the panels into usable AC power. You can then connect your inverter to your main power supply or connect your appliances to the batteries directly, depending on the type you got. If using AC batteries, connect the inverter to the panels directly and then the invert to the charge controller. Once everything is safely connected, you can introduce power to the system by connecting the solar panels to the charge converter. In the end, the panels should connect to the charge converter, which connects to the batteries, which connect to the inverter, which connects to your main system.
Summary: Install the solar panels. Get a charge controller. Connect the charge controller to your batteries. Connect your inverter to your batteries. Connect the solar panels to the rest of the system.

Problem: Article: Note that while this playdough is safe to eat, it probably would not be a good idea to gobble it up all at once. It is a great choice for young children who like to put things into their mouths, however. This is enough for one batch of edible playdough. If you'd like to make more colors, you will need to make another batch. How much food coloring you add is up to you. The more you add, the darker your playdough will be. This will take about 30 seconds, but it may take less depending on the strength of your microwave. Keep stirring until the ingredients thicken and you can't stir anymore. If you need to, use a potholder to handle the bowl. If the dough is too dry, add a little bit more coconut oil. If the dough is too wet, add some more cornstarch. Be careful; the ingredients may still be hot. Because it is edible, you can even eat some of it too. Just don't eat too much, or you'll get a tummy ache! When you are done playing with it, store it in an airtight container. If it starts to smell funny or weird, throw it out; it is expired and not safe to eat anymore.
Summary: Place the marshmallows, cornstarch, and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Add a few drops of food coloring, if desired, and give the ingredients a quick stir to combine. Heat the ingredients in the microwave until the marshmallows start to expand. Carefully take the bowl out of the microwave and stir the ingredients together with a spoon. Knead the dough with your hands until everything is evenly mixed together. Play with the playdough.

Problem: Article: Cut red potatoes (or other potatoes of your choosing) into medium-sized chunks, then steam, boil, or roast them until they are soft.  Divide the potatoes onto several plates. Small fingerling or heirloom potatoes may not need to be cut. See “Poaching Smoked Haddock” above for details.  After the haddock has cooked, remove the haddock from the milk and place a haddock filet on top of each plate of cooked potatoes. Keep the milk, but strain it to remove any chunks of seasoning or fish. In the same pan that the fish cooked in, melt some butter over medium-high heat.  Then add a bit of flour (roughly the same amount of flour and butter), and stir together well, allowing the butter and flour to cook for 2-4 minutes. Slowly pour the strained poaching milk into the flour and butter mixture, stirring well as you pour.  Continue adding milk until the sauce is the desired thickness. You can adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding additional milk to thin or adding flour to thicken the sauce.  Be aware that the sauce should thicken slightly as it cools as well. Stir about 1 tbsp of mustard into the sauce, stirring well to combine.  Other spices, such as fresh tarragon, may be added at this time as well. The sauce should be piping hot and will re-warm the potatoes and haddock.  After pouring the sauce over the fish, the meal is complete, and should be served immediately.  If you are concerned about the fish and the potatoes being cold, you could add them to the pan and toss them in the sauce over the heat, but be careful not to damage the fish fillets (they will taste great, but may not look as pretty if they are broken up while tossing in the sauce). You can top with a bit of parsley for a nice presentation. You may also want to add other vegetables to this method.  You can place a bed of spinach between the potatoes and the haddock, or you can serve the haddock on a bed of peas in lieu of potatoes. It is also common to place a poached egg on top of each haddock filet before pouring the sauce over the meal.
Summary: Prepare some potatoes. Poach the smoked haddock. Drain the poaching milk from the pan. Melt two pads of butter. Pour the milk into the mixture. Add the mustard. Pour the sauce over the haddock and potatoes. Consider some modifications.

Problem: Article: High school students interested in pursuing accounting careers should choose classes that fulfill the prerequisite requirements for college-level classes.  Mathematics classes prepare you for the courses you will need to take in accounting.  In addition, you will need to take classes to prepare for the general education requirements.  College accounting programs usually require students to have completed two years of high school algebra and geometry and one advanced math class such as calculus. If you have the opportunity to take business or economics classes in high school, you should.  Also, high school statistics classes are valuable for learning to apply your math skills to think critically and solve problems. It’s not always necessary to have a degree to work as an accountant.  But, most accountants attend college and earn a bachelor’s degree in accounting.  Also, some states require accountants to have a minimum number of credit hours in accounting.  For most bachelor’s degrees, you will need 150 credit hours in accounting and related business areas.  Accounting degree programs are available at most colleges and universities throughout the United States. US News and World Report has ranked the best on-campus and online accounting degree programs.  Many colleges and universities offer on-campus and online degree programs.  Some online programs may grant credit for your prior work experience in the field. Corporate or business accounting is different from public accounting.  The bulk of public accountant work in big firms is auditing, which is confirming the accuracy and validity of financial records. Corporate accountants work in the accounting department of a business.  They handle day-to-day accounting tasks such as balancing the books, tracking expenses and revenue, executing payroll and paying the bills. They also prepare financial statements to comply with government regulations.  When choosing your college accounting classes, consider the requirements of a corporate accountant.  Select classes that give you the appropriate knowledge and experience.  Financial accounting and corporate reporting classes familiarize you with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and teach the basics about ledgers, balance sheets, cost accounting and inventory methods. Internal auditing and forensic accounting classes teach you how to enforce GAAP by looking for irregularities in a company’s accounting practices. While some corporate accountants may not prepare tax returns, you should still take classes in principles of taxation to familiarize yourself with these concepts. In addition to accounting classes, prepare for management positions and graduate work by taking other business classes such as economics, finance, management, communication, and quantitative analysis. These kinds of activities fill your resume with valuable experience.  They also demonstrate your initiative and level of preparedness for college and your career.  Join a professional accounting organization such as the on-campus Accounting Student Association or your college’s chapter of Beta Alpha Psi (BAP), the international honor society for financial information students.  Involve yourself in community service work, such as preparing free tax returns for senior citizens or educating community members in financial literacy.  Participate in a team sport to demonstrate your ability to work well with others towards a common goal.
Summary:
Take the right classes in high school. Choose a course of study in college. Choose classes related to a career in corporate accounting. Participate in accounting-related extra-curricular activities.
