article: You will pay the balance for your jump if you have not already and sign a few forms and waivers. Although bungee jumping is very safe, they will want to make sure you understand the potential risks. If you have any questions about the waiver, do not hesitate to ask a crew member. They will weigh you to make sure they are using the correct equipment for you body weight and to make sure you are not over the weight limit of the outfitter. When you get to the top of the bungee, there will be instructors up there who will prep you. If you can make it to the top, then you should be fine because this is one of the scariest parts! Listen to what they have to say, as it will make your jump more enjoyable. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions- that's what they are there for. The instructors will put padding around your ankles and then attach big elastic bands around them, which will in turn be attached to the actual bungee cord! Fear is your body's way of protecting itself as self-defense. Try to channel your thoughts and convince your mind that you are not inflicting harm on yourself. Things will move fast once you are strapped up, so just let things happen. Don't look down before jumping! You will have plenty of time to admire the scenery while jumping. Looking down before you jump might make you change your mind. ' It's an incredible feeling falling through the air at that speed! Enjoy the ride, and feel free to scream your head off! At the end of the drop you should decelerate smoothly and it will actually feel quite peaceful. After the jump, a guy in a boat might come and unhook you from the cords or they will lift you back up to the bridge or wherever you jumped from. You just went bungee jumping- you are instantly super-cool!

article: The number-one obstacle that prevents investors from seeing the huge effects of compounding mentioned earlier is lack of patience. Indeed, it is difficult to watch a small balance grow slowly and, in some instances, lose money in the short term.  Try to remind yourself that you are playing a long game. The lack of immediate, large profits should not be taken as a sign of failure. For example, if you a purchase a stock, you can expect to see it fluctuate between profit and loss. Often, a stock will fall before it rises. Remember that you are buying a piece of a concrete business, and in the same way you would not be discouraged if the value of a gas station you owned declined over the course of a week or a month, you should not be discouraged if the value of your stock fluctuates. Focus on the companies earnings over time to gauge its success or failure, and the stock will follow. Concentrate on the pace of your contributions. Stick to the amount and frequency you decided upon earlier, and let your investment build up slowly.  You should relish low prices!  Dollar-cost-averaging into the market is a tried and true strategy for generating wealth over the long run.  Furthermore, the less expensive the stock prices are today, the more upside you can expect  tomorrow. In this day and age, with technology that can provide you with the  information you seek in an instant, it is tough to look several years to the future while monitoring your investment balances. Those that do, however, will slowly build their snowball until it builds up speed and helps them achieve their financial goals. The second biggest obstacle to achieving compounding is the temptation to change your strategy by chasing fast returns from investments with recent big gains or selling investments with recent losses. That's actually the opposite of what most really successful investors do.    In other words, don’t chase returns.  Investments that are experiencing very high returns can just as quickly turn around and go down. "Chasing returns" can often be a disaster.   Stick to your original  strategy, assuming it was well thought out to begin with. Stay put and don’t repeatedly enter and exit the market.  History shows that being out of the market on the four or five biggest up-days in each calendar year can be the difference between making and losing money. You won't recognize those days until they've already passed. Avoid timing the market. For example, you may be tempted to sell when you feel the market may decline, or avoid investing because you feel the economy is in a recession. Research has proven the most effective approach is to simply invest at a steady pace and use the dollar cost averaging strategy discussed above. Studies have found that people who simply dollar cost average and stay invested do far better then people who try to time the market, invest a lump sum every year on new years, or who avoid stocks. The reason for this is that it takes a decade or so to learn the many pitfalls in investing in stocks, like the emotion that goes with a bull market, exaggerated information, sales groups that are paid to sell and tend to bend the information to look to rosy and just plain fraud.  Many brokers will not tell you that 99.9999% of all companies go bankrupt over time, so mutual funds and dollar cost averaging avoids all the bad companies that are removed without you have to do any homework or lose any money.

Write an article based on this "Stick a carrot in the middle of the head for a nose. Use buttons, pebbles, or charcoal for eyes. Make a mouth with a row of pebbles or charcoal. Add two sticks for the snowman’s arms. Top off the snowman with a hat and scarf."
article:
Grab a long raw carrot from the grocery store for the snowman’s nose. Place it in the middle of the top snowball. Make sure you place it so there is room above it for eyes and below it for a mouth. Making the snowman your own is all about creativity. If you have something else that you think would look cool as a nose, use that instead. Place them above the carrot and space them evenly to the right and the left. Push them into the head, and twist them in a circle so that they stick in the snow. Any round object will work for the eyes. Other options to use for eyes are yellow ping-pong balls, blue rubber bouncy balls, or large green plastic gems. Use the same thing you used for the eyes to make the mouth, or mix it up with other round objects. Place the mouth under the nose, but not too close to the middle section. Cut a mouth out of felt, stick some fake plastic teeth in the face, or bend a piece of rubber tubing into a smile. Find a couple of sticks that are about one inch (2.5 cm) or less wide and around three feet (1 meter) long. Push the sticks into the middle section of the snowman. Position the sticks so they are angled up or down, giving the snowman the look you like best.  Before the arms, if you want, put a shirt or coat of some kind around the body of the snowman. Also use old broom sticks, golf clubs, or fake skeleton arms! This is where you have even more space for creativity. Grab an old ball cap, cowboy hat, fedora, or top hat for the snowman’s head. Wrap a colorful scarf around its neck. Use old stuff that you don’t mind possibly ruining. Add a tie, sunglasses, or any other accessories to make the snowman stand out from the rest.
