If you can take loss as a learning experience rather than an abject failure, then you can transcend what happened and move on with your life. You may have been defeated, but you need not be defeatist. If you finish tall, reflect and learn, and move on with a smile on your face, you haven't been defeated. You've grown, and you've been taught a lesson. If you carry yourself in the same way any other time you are defeated, you'll find it easier and easier every time – and you may come to realize that you've won in a different way: by improving yourself, and by learning.  Try to take it as a premise that failure has a role in your journey. Ask yourself about the purpose of this failure; what you can learn from it; and why it happened. Think about why you failed, and whether you could have done anything. Ask yourself whether you unconsciously forced yourself to fail because you are unsure of the goal you're trying to reach. Think back on what happened, and look for lessons. Analyse the situation objectively. Figure out what you can realistically do to stop this from happening again – and make it actionable. Focus on the future. The more you focus on your next win, the better you may feel about your last defeat. Not all winners have won their first match. If you don't accept defeat gracefully, you will act rashly. People may notice if you don't handle your loss in a mature way. No matter what led to your defeat, make sure that you don't let it stop you from doing what you love. Most people come up against failure at one point or another – including (and perhaps especially) winners. You'll never improve if you don't keep trying, and you may regret it later if you quit based on this one defeat.  Many people fail their way to success. Thomas Edison failed many times before inventing the light bulb, but he was able to persevere forward. When you finally do win, take some time to reflect. How have your failures helped you? You'll feel far more satisfied when you have all that struggle behind you.

Summary: Try to learn from what happened. Improve on your mistakes. Keep playing the game.


Pick a powder that is either translucent or close to your natural skin tone. Make sure the product is advertised as a finishing or setting powder and not powder foundation.  Powder that matches your skin tone will give extra coverage when concealing blemishes. However, it has the tendency to look thicker than translucent powders. Translucent powder can match all skin tones and looks less caked on compared to tinted powder. Just be sure to blend translucent powder extra well, as flash photography can make it stand out.  Like most types of powder makeup, setting powder can be either a loose or pressed powder.

Summary: Choose the right powder.


Look for a circular violet icon with a movie film camera inside. These are located along scenic spots. Aim your camera directly at the icon and snap away!  The icon must be inside the viewfinder to count. You'll get a confirmation message if you get the shot correctly. If the snapshot icon is too far away, you may need to zoom in for it to register, or get physically closer.  The icon is not visible unless you are looking through the camera. Use the glow to help find the location of the icon when not using the camera. Move from block to block in a grid pattern to ensure that you search every possible location. Backtracking can cost you a lot of time. To take a snapshot of the Easter Basin Naval Station without triggering the five-star response, approach by boat and keep your distance, approaching just enough to allow the snapshot. You'll have an easier time finding the icons if you go at night. Between the times 00:00 and 05:00 in-game, a bright glow will appear around the snapshot icons, making it much easier to pick them out against the dark background. For an easier time, find a map of all the snapshot locations. Load the map on your phone or print it out so that you can easily reference it while playing the game.. Some websites have interactive maps that show you more information and images about the snapshot locations.

Summary: Keep your eyes peeled for the Film Camera icon. Explore San Fierro in a systematic fashion. Keep a look out during the night. Search online for the Snapshot Locations Map.


If you borrow money from someone and agree to pay it back with an additional amount, you are not specifying any interest or interest rate. Let's use the example that you borrow $100,000 from your brother and promise to pay him back in 5 years plus an extra $25,000. In order to find the interest rate that is "implicit" or "implied" in this agreement, you need to do a mathematical calculation. The formula you will use is total amount paid/amount borrowed raised to 1/number of periods = x. Then x-1 x100 = implicit interest rate. For the example in Step 1, first divide the total payback amount by the borrowed amount. In this example, you borrowed $100,000 and pay back a total of $125,000, so $125,000 divided by $100,000 is 1.25. Raise the result of the first step to the power of 1/n, where n is the number of periods interest is paid. For simplicity, we can use n=5 for 5 years to calculate the implied annual interest rate. Thus, 1.25^(1/5) = 1.25^0.2 = 1.0456. Subtract 1 from the above result. Thus 1.0456-1 = 0.0456. Then multiply the above result by 100, to arrive at 4.56%, which is the implicit interest rate per year.
Summary: Define implicit interest. Calculate the implicit interest amount. Determine the number of years to repay. Calculate the implied interest percent.
