Article: The numbers 1-10 in Polish use a majority of the letters from the Polish alphabet. Ordinarily, each letter in Polish has just one sound associated with it (unlike  English, where letters like e, a, s, and many others can be pronounced several ways). A few letters in Polish, including several vowels, can have diacritics (small marks) that change how they are pronounced.   a is like in the "a" “cat”  e sounds like the “e” in “red”  ą, and ę sound like nasalized versions of the a and e sounds  i is like “beet” except when it comes before e. The letters ie together have the sound “ye.”  ó and u are pronounced the same, like the “oo” in “boot”  y is pronounced like the "y" in “syllable” Several Polish consonants (b, d, f, h, k, l, p, n, t and z) sound basically the same as corresponding English consonants. Other consonants look familiar, but are pronounced differently, and a few have diacritics.   c is a “ts” sound like at the end of “bats”  ć sounds like the “ch” sound in words like “cheap” and “chipper”  g sounds like a hard “g” in English, like in “give”  j sounds like the beginning of “yellow” or “yet”  ł is pronounced like the “w” in “water”  ń sounds like the “ny” in words like “canyon”  r in Polish is rolled, like in Spanish  s is pronounced like the “s” in words like “salad,” not with a “z” sound like in words such as “laser”  ś sounds like the “sh” sound in “shift” or “shame”  w is pronounced like the English “v” in words like “vat” or “van,” except at the end of words, when it sounds like “f”  ź sounds roughly like the “zh” sound in “azure” These can look intimidating, but they only have one sound--once you get the hang of them, just treat the clusters as though they were individual letters.   ci and cz all sound ‘’ć’’ and like the “ch” sound in words like “cheap” and “chipper”  ch together make the sound like at the end of “loch”  dzi, dź, and dż sound like the “j” at the beginning of “jab”  rz is either like the “zh” sound in “azure” at the beginning of a word, or a “sh” sound when it comes after other letters  si and sz sound like ś, and like the “sh” sound in “shift” or “shame”  szcz sounds like “sh” and “ch” running together as a single sound, as in “fresh cheese” said quickly  ż and zi sound like ‘’ź’’, roughly like the “zh” sound in “azure” Accent (where the stress in a word falls) is also very regular in Polish. In almost every case, it falls on the next-to-last (penultimate) syllable. With the letter sounds and word stress being so regular, you’ll be able to see right away how to say most words in Polish, including the numbers.

Article: Spray your vinegar-detergent mixture onto the shower and tub surfaces. Allow it to set for 10-15 minutes so that the ingredients have time to penetrate the dried on soap scum, mildew, and mineral deposits. If your shower doesn’t have soap scum, mildew, and mineral deposits, then you don’t need to let the product set. Scrub your shower surfaces with your non-abrasive applicator, paying special attention to areas with thicker grime. As you clean, apply additional cleaning solution as needed. For example, if your cleaner dries before you get to that section, you can apply additional cleaner. Do not scrub with hard-bristle brushes, scouring pads, or metal pads because they will scratch your fiberglass. Use a cup to splash cold water onto all of the surfaces to remove the cleaning solution and the grime. You will likely need to rinse areas more than once to remove all of the product. If you have a handheld shower head, you can use it instead of a cup.

Apply the cleaning solution to your shower. Use a sponge, cloth, or soft-bristle brush to work in the product. Rinse with cold water.
Article: Look up your vehicle’s year, make, and model online or at an auto parts store to find out what systems are compatible in your vehicle. The system will contain the main exhaust pipe, catalytic converters, a muffler, and tailpipe. Choose a system that’s within your budget and is made from stainless steel so it’s less likely to rust or corrode after heavy use. Order the exhaust system you want so you can install it on your vehicle.  Compare the layout of your old exhaust system to the new one to make sure it can fit. For example, if you have a dual-exhaust engine, then you need a system that has 2 exhaust ports. If your old exhaust system went over your rear axle, then get an exhaust system that comes in multiple pieces so you can easily install it. If you aren’t able to, then you need to see a mechanic to install the system for you. Use the bolts you removed from the old exhaust system if they’re still in good condition. Rub a wire brush horizontally across the threadings of each bolt to remove any rust or corrosion that’s stuck on the surface. Try to get the most rust off of the threadings as possible so you can easily screw and unscrew the nuts on them.  You can buy a wire cleaning brush from a hardware or automotive care store. If you can’t get the rust off of the bolts, then you may need to replace them so they don’t get stuck later on. Anti-seize fluid helps prevent bolts from locking in place so they’re easier to remove when you need to make repairs or buy replacements. Put the anti-seize fluid on your finger and rub it around the threadings of the bolt. Make sure that each bolt has an even coat of the fluid so it doesn’t get stuck later on.  You can buy anti-seize fluid from an auto care or hardware store. You can also apply the anti-seize fluid on the threadings for the oxygen sensors, but don’t let the fluid touch the interior metal sensors, or else they won’t work properly. Ask a helper to guide the exhaust system underneath your vehicle without it touching the ground so it doesn’t get scratched. Place the front end of the exhaust pipe on top of the jack’s arm and carefully raise it up so it doesn’t fall. Keep lifting the exhaust system until the end of the pipe lines up with the port on the downpipe, which comes down from the engine and connects to the entire system. You don’t need to use a jack, but the exhaust system may be too heavy to support and secure on your own.

Get a new exhaust system that matches the make and model of your vehicle. Clean the rust off of the bolt threads with a wire cleaning brush. Apply anti-seize fluid on all of the bolt threadings. Lift the new exhaust system into place using your jack.
