Problem: Article: If your drawstring is starting to come out but it's still stuck in the casing, go ahead and pull it completely out. Re-inserting the drawstring is easier than trying to feed it back through the casing without a tool. Use a large safety pin so it's easier to handle and feed through the casing. Ensure that the safety pin will fit through the casing and secure it about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the end of the drawstring. If you're buying safety pins, look for skirt pins, which are larger and sturdier than standard safety pins. Locate the eyelets, which are the circular openings where your drawstring comes out. Push the safety pin into 1 of the eyelets and pull it through the fabric until it reaches the other eyelet. Hold the safety pin in place with 1 hand and use your other hand to scrunch the fabric casing toward the pin so it bunches up. Then, hold the safety pin in place with your other hand and pull the bunched up fabric away with the opposite hand. It's important to hold onto the safety pin so you don't lose it inside the casing. Continue to bunch the casing up to the safety pin and pull the fabric away so your safety pin moves through the casing. Repeat this until the safety pin comes out of the other end of the fabric casing. Pull the drawstring until both ends are equal lengths. Then, remove your safety pin. If you'd like to prevent the drawstring from sliding back into the casing, tie a large knot at each end of the drawstring. Make the knots larger than the eyelets so the drawstring doesn't slip back in the casing.
Summary: Pull out the drawstring if it's lost halfway through a casing. Secure a safety pin to 1 end of the drawstring. Insert the safety pin into the eyelet. Work the casing toward the pin so the drawstring moves through the fabric. Keep scrunching and pulling the fabric until the pin is at the end of the casing. Remove the safety pin and knot the ends of the drawstring.

Problem: Article: Rinse your board with water right after you use it, rather than waiting until the end of the meal or even the next day when you clean it. This will help minimize bacteria growth and keep your board cleaner. Resist the urge to throw your board in the sink after the meal and forget about it.
Summary: Rinse your board right after using it.

Problem: Article: If you're planning on pimping out your ride, it's a good idea to make an overall plan, taking the way each of your upgrades will affect the others. Some aesthetic changes will clash against each other. Even worse, you can run out of space to fit all of the pieces on your car. Run all of the ideas past a car expert before making any financial commitments to them. A fresh coat of paint is arguably the most transformative thing you can do to a car's appearance. If all you're looking for is a better look, you might find a paint job does everything you want it to. Cars can be painted with specialized spray paint in your garage. Due to the value of your vehicle, it's very important to be slow and consistent with your paint.  If you're painting the car from home, don't forget to give your car a primer coat beforehand.  Car modification garages can offer more intense paint jobs with graphics like flames. These are very stylized, but make sure your car model is worthy of the flair before you commit to something so flashy. Graphic flames on a Toyota Camry won't get you the sort of attention you're looking for. Tinted windows add fast class to a vehicle. The mystery factor and privacy of tinted windows can make even an average car look posh by comparison. By replacing factory parts, you may void your vehicle's warranty. Check with the manufacturer before proceeding. Your headlights and taillights draw a lot of visual attention, as they're designed to be reflective. Changing them for a snazzier design is relatively inexpensive by car mod standards. The subtle difference it makes to your vehicle's appearance won't go unnoticed by those who know where to look. Make sure your taillight modifications are road-friendly. Although you can change your car's look by replacing the lights on it, you still want to make sure they comply with road regulations. While a lot of car modification focuses on the outside presentation, you can revamp your experience on the vehicle by changing the seating. Most stock car seating is cloth-upholstered. For a fashionable touch, replacing this with leather seats is very luxurious. If you go with leather seating, make sure you take care to maintain it as leather demands.
Summary: Make a plan beforehand. Paint your car. Get tinted windows. Replace your head and taillights. Reupholster the seats.

Problem: Article: Know what’s expected of you at the beginning of the term, so there won’t be any surprises on an exam. If a single paper is worth 50 percent of your grade, you should have your thesis in the back of your mind. Spend lots of time on projects that will significantly affect your grades. The syllabus should tell you how many hours of reading are generally expected in a week, so write it out on your calendar at the beginning of the term which days you are going to study for this subject.  Buy a term planner and organize your study time.  Schedule a different subject every 3 to 4 hours so that your mind stays sharp. If you are an auditory person, then you should tape all the lectures and listen to them later. If you are a visual person, you should take notes or video tape the class for easier revision. Don’t let friends tell you that you are a “geek” or “nerdy.” In most classes, you can’t get an A unless you are willing to study hard. Your brain needs to breathe, rest and refocus.
Summary:
Read the syllabus. Pay attention to how much tests are worth. Schedule regular study times for each subject. Use technology to your advantage. Be proud of good grades and study habits. Take breaks every 45 minutes of study time.
