Q: The easiest way to check for levelness without special equipment is to look for them. Do a visual inspection to check for any spots that are higher or lower than the rest. After taking care of these areas, lay a wood plank across your work area. Zip tie a 6 ft (1.8 m) carpenter’s level on top of the plank, and move the plank throughout the work area to test multiple spots. Position the plank and level from the center of the work area to its edge, like a clock's hand. Check for levelness, then rotate the plank 2 to 3 feet (0.61 to 0.91 m), like a clock hand moving from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock. Proceed shifting the plank and checking levelness every 2 to 3 feet. You might find that a wide patch of the work area is more or less level, but one edge of it slopes significantly. Place stakes or sticks at areas that slope or are off-grade. You’ll need to dig away these area in order to create level ground for the pool. Always dig away slopes and high spots to make them level with lower areas, even if it takes more work. If you fill in a patch with dirt or sand, the weight of the pool and water will compress it and cause problems in the future. Once you’ve identified your high spots, start shoveling away soil. Dump the soil in a wheelbarrow, then dispose of it, compost it, or use it for gardening projects, such as for potted plants or to adjust the grade elsewhere in your yard. Leveling a 5 or 10 degree slope and removing 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) of soil by hand is doable. However, if you have to remove 1 foot (30 cm) or more of soil across a wide area, you might need to rent heavy equipment. Skid-steer loaders usually require some training, so consult your rental equipment manager about meeting operation requirements. If you’re not confident about operating a skid-steer loader, consider hiring a professional to regrade the area. Look online to find a landscape architect or licensed contractor with grading experience. Every now and then, lay the wood plank and carpenter’s level onto your work surface. Continue digging and tracking your progress until you’ve leveled the entire work area.
A: Check for levelness to identify high spots. Mark high patches with stakes. Dig away soil instead of building up low patches. Use a spade or shovel to dig out high ground. Rent a skid-steer loader for tougher jobs. Check for levelness periodically to gauge your progress.

Problem: Article: Look in the laundry aisle at your local grocery store or shopping center and see if you can find a stain remover that says something like “removes ink stains” or “eliminates pen stains” on it. Try to lift as much of the ink stain as you can using just the cloth. If the stain remover you’re using comes in a spray bottle, spray it directly on the stain. If you’re using a stain-removing pen, draw over the surface of the stain with the tip of the pen until the entire stain is covered with the stain remover. Read the instructions that came with the stain remover to see how long you should leave it on the garment. If you’re not sure, leave it on for about ten minutes. You should begin to notice more of the ink transferring from the stained garment to the cloth. This is a sign that the stain remover is working. This will prevent the ink from transferring to other clothes in the wash. Wash the stained garment on the same setting you normally would. If it didn't, repeat the process, starting with applying the stain remover to the stain. Never put stained clothing in the dryer, as the heat will set the stain and make it much harder to remove.
Summary: Buy a stain remover meant for ink stains. Blot the ink stain using a damp cloth before you apply the stain remover. Apply the stain remover to the pen stain. Let the stain remover set into the stain. Blot the stain using a cloth. Put the stained garment in the washing machine by itself. Check to see if the pen stain came out in the wash. Make sure the garment is stain-free before you dry it.

Q: While the designs of compasses are different, all compasses include a magnetized needle that orients itself to the magnetic fields in the Earth. The basic field compass, also sometimes called a baseplate compass, features the following simple components you should familiarize yourself with as soon as possible:  The baseplate is the clear, plastic  plate on which the compass is embedded. The direction of travel arrow is the arrow in the baseplate pointing away from the compass. The compass housing is the clear, plastic circle that houses the magnetized compass needle. The degree dial is the twistable dial surrounding the compass housing that displays all 360 degrees of the circle. The magnetic needle is the needle spinning within the compass housing. The orienting arrow is the non-magnetic arrow within the compass housing. The orienting lines are the lines within the compass housing that run parallel to the orienting arrow. Place the compass flat on your palm and your palm in front of your chest. This is the proper compass stance, when traveling. If you're consulting a map, place the map on a flat surface and place the compass on the map to get a more accurate reading. While it might seem confusing that there are two kinds of "North," it's a basic distinction that you can learn quickly, and it's an essential piece of information to learn to use a compass properly.   True North or Map North refers to the point at which all longitudinal lines meet on the map, at the North Pole. All maps are laid out the same, with True North at the top of the map. Unfortunately, because of slight variations in the magnetic field, your compass won't point to True North, it'll point to Magnetic North.  Magnetic North refers to the tilt of the magnetic field, about eleven degrees from the tilt of the Earth's axis, making the difference between True North and Magnetic North different by as many as 20 degrees in some places. Depending where you are on the surface of the Earth, you'll have to account for the Magnetic shift to get an accurate reading. While the difference may seem incidental, traveling just one degree off for the distance of a mile will have you about 100 feet (30.5 m) off track. Think of how off you'll be after ten or twenty miles. It's important to compensate by taking the declination into account.
A:
Understand the basic layout of the compass. Hold the compass correctly. Understand the difference between "true" North and "magnetic" North.
