Summarize the following:
If you haven't updated your graphics card drivers in a while, you'll want to get the latest version. Updated drives can make a big difference in performance, especially for older cards. You can figure which drivers you need by opening the Device Manager. Open the Start menu or screen and type "device manager" to find and open it. This will show all of the graphics adapters that you have installed. You will likely only have one or two items listed here. The "Display adapters" section will show the current model of your graphics card. If you have an Intel and an AMD or NVIDIA entry, you can ignore the Intel entry. The model of your graphics card will be listed after the manufacturer (i.e. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670) When you have two adapters listed here, one if for your motherboard and the other is for your graphics card. The motherboard graphics will almost always be Intel, and is not used if your monitor is connected to a graphics card from NVIDIA or AMD. You'll be able to download drivers directly from the manufacturer's website. Below are the driver download sites for the major manufacturers:  NVIDIA - http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx  AMD - http://support.amd.com/en-us/download  Intel - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ Use the search function or the automatic driver detection feature on the driver website to find the correct download. All of the major manufacturers can automatically detect your adapter and download the correct drivers for you. Most driver installers are about 300 MB in size, and may take a little while to download. After you download the driver installer, run it from your Downloads folder to begin installation. The installation may take a while, and your screen may flicker or go black during it. Decline the installation of any driver management software like GeForce Experience, as these typically just make your games run slower when they're open.

summary: Open the Device Manager. Expand the "Display adapters" section. Find your graphics adapter model. Visit the manufacturer's website. Find the driver download for your graphics adapter. Run the installer.

Having your schedule written down is one of the best ways to ensure that you’ll keep on track. If you have easy access to your schedule, you will get in the habit of checking it regularly.  Figure out which method works best for you. Then you can access your schedule when you need a reminder about what’s next on the list.  Some people prefer writing it down in a daily planner. Others like to keep track on a laptop or tablet. There are lots of useful scheduling apps for mobile phones.  If you use a computer or phone to record your schedule, you can set reminders to prompt you when important tasks are coming up. As you start to figure out your daily schedule, break up your day into half-hour segments. These chunks of time are manageable amounts in which to accomplish certain tasks. Then you don’t need to plan your schedule down to the minute. You will have obligations throughout the day that need to be accomplished at specific times. For example, you need to drop off your children at school at 8:00 a.m. You need to pick them up at 3:00 p.m. Fit these types of activities into your schedule first. After you have your obligations worked into your schedule, look for pockets of time that do not require specific activities. These are considered “flex” time. Now look at your long-term goals and start to fit activities into your schedule that will help you accomplish your goals. The flex time can also be used for unforeseen obligations or other activities that come up last-minute. As you start to adjust to using a schedule, you should consult the schedule frequently. This will help remind you of your planned activities. This will also keep you on track so that you don’t spend too much time doing one activity or task. As you start working through your schedule every day, you can assess how it’s working for you. Make adjustments based on how much time you’re spending on different tasks. Be sure to include your long-term goals so that you are sure to achieve them.

summary: Find the best medium to record your schedule. Budget your day in 30 minute segments. Work your necessary activities into the schedule first. Fit in “flexible” time. Refer to your schedule often. Adjust your schedule as needed.

Place 1 hand on each half of the plastic egg. Gently twist and pull the halves to separate them. You will be able to make 2 maracas using 2 plastic eggs. If you want to make more maracas, simply use 1 extra egg for each subsequent maraca that you want to make. You can purchase plastic eggs from dollar stores or use leftover eggs from Easter. Use a spoon to scoop dry rice into 2 of the plastic egg halves. Gently twist the plastic eggs back together after adding the rice. There needs to be enough rice in each egg to fill it halfway.  You can use any type of rice, provided that it isn’t cooked. Alternatively, you can also use small plastic beads or small pieces of dry pasta if you prefer.  Be careful to hold the half that is full of rice secure while you twist the other half back on. Filling each egg halfway with rice is only an approximate measurement. Try adding different amounts of rice to see how the sound changes when you use the maracas.
summary: Open 2 plastic eggs. Fill 2 plastic egg halves with dry rice and then close each egg.
