Q: You want the soil to be loose and light when sowing your sunflower seeds. If your soil is low in nutrients or drains poorly, mix in three to four inches of compost. You can simply use your hands to dig these small holes. If planting in rows, make sure to allow about 30 inches (76.2 cm) of soil between each row. Sunflowers need a lot of space to grow healthily.  For large sunflower types, allow 18 inches (45.7 cm) of space between seeds. For medium-sized sunflower types, allow 12 inches (30.5 cm) of space between seeds. You can stagger your planting over a few weeks to experience blooms at different times throughout the summer. Since sunflowers are annuals, meaning they flower once per year, staggering your seeds will allow you to enjoy blooms over a longer time. Choose an organic fertilizer when possible and spread it over the seeding area to promote strong stalks. Make sure you wet the soil, but do not drench or flood the seeds.
A: Loosen the soil using your hands or a hand trowel. Dig one-inch deep holes, spaced six to 18 inches (45.7 cm) apart, depending on the varietal size. Place a few seeds in each hole and cover with soil. Mix a thin layer of fertilizer after planting the seeds. Water thoroughly after planting and fertilizing.

Q: In the A column, type in the names or numbers of the subjects you're taking. In the B column, type in the letter grades you want to factor into your GPA. Determine the numerical scale values of the grades you are inputting. To complete this step, you will have to decide if your school uses a weighted or unweighted GPA scale.  The common 4-point GPA scale is as follows: A = 4 points, B = 3 points, C = 2 points, D = 1 point, and F = 0 points. If your school uses a weighted GPA scale, they allot 5 points for upper level classes. Ask an administrator, teacher, or registrar for this information. You can also look on your report card or final grade sheets. Add .3 for each plus value or subtract .3 for each minus value. For example, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7. All excel equations begin with an equals sign, so you should use one every time you do a new calculation. This will indicate to the program that it will be calculating a sum (adding) equation. The equation you will use to calculate your GPA will be determined by how many grades you have, but the basic format is =SUM(C1:C6)/6.  C1 is the cell number (C- column, 1-row) of the first grade in your column. The number on the right side of the colon should be the cell number of the final grade on your list. The number after the slash should be the total number of courses that you are calculating.  In this case, 6 courses are being calculated.  If you have 10 courses listed, you will replace the 6 with a 10. You should be greeted with a single number in the D column, which is your final calculated GPA.
A: Set up your initial columns. Input the scale values in column C. Type an equals sign (=) into the first cell of column D. Type the letters SUM. Fill in your equation. Press the Enter key.

Q: A well-balanced diet of whole foods, fresh fruits, and plentiful vegetables can do wonders for your skin. A healthy body means healthy skin! In turn, healthy skin is more likely to be free of blemishes, imperfections, uneven complexion issues, and red or dry patches.  Eat fruits and vegetables of all colors to ensure you get a rich variety of vitamins and minerals. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin C, which can help make your skin paler. Vitamin C also promotes skin elasticity because it helps the body with collagen production.  Consume foods and drinks that are high in antioxidants. This can help fight the signs of aging, including dull, discolored, and wrinkled skin. There is such a thing as too much water, but your skin and body still need to be hydrated for proper health. Drink when you are thirsty, especially if you are exercising. Hydrating your skin should help keep it from becoming dry and flaky, and it may even promote a "glowing" appearance. Cardiovascular exercise is great for your heart and lungs, and it also promotes circulation. Strong circulation is essential for healthy skin. Exercise also reduces stress, which can help alleviate conditions that cause redness (e.g. acne and eczema.) People who suffer from skin conditions like rosacea, psoriasis, or eczema should exercise in cool environments to avoid flare-ups. Moisturize before and after a workout to keep the skin happy. To take care of your skin: wash it daily with a gentle cleanser, exfoliate once or twice a week, and moisturize daily. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, which can leave your skin looking fresher and cleaner. Dirt can often contribute to darker-looking skin. Like exercise, a skin massage can promote healthy circulation. Before bed, take a few moments to massage lotion or aloe vera thoroughly into your skin.
A: Eat a healthy diet. Drink water. Exercise regularly. Keep your skin clean and moisturized. Massage your skin.

Q: Since some clear vinyls are thick, use a very sharp needle that can cut through the material. Use a leather needle size 14 or a universal needle in 16 or 18. These won't bend when you sew through the vinyl. If you can't find needles for leather, you can also choose needles made for denim. If you're making something that will be stored outside, use a bonded nylon thread because it's weatherproof. For most other projects, you can use a standard polyester thread. For an eye-catching project, consider using several different colors of thread. To prevent the stitches from pulling and tearing the clear vinyl, adjust your machine to make stitches that are at least 3.0 mm or longer. This will make stronger seams that those made with shorter stitches. The stitches should be at least 2.5 mm wide.
A:
Pick a sharp size 14, 16, or 18 needle. Choose a polyester thread in your choice of color. Adjust stitches to 3.0 mm or longer.
