Problem: Article: When you first open the configuration utility, you will be taken to the Basic Setup page. You can leave all of these settings at their defaults, unless specified otherwise by your ISP. When you click the Wireless tab, you will be taken to the “Basic Wireless Settings” section. This section will allow you to create and secure your wireless network. It is important that you change it from whatever default it was set to for security. In the Basic Wireless Settings section, there will be a field labeled “Wireless Network Name (SSID)”. This is the name of your network, which will appear in the list of available networks for your wireless devices. Make sure you don’t give out any personal information, as anyone can see this name. You can keep the Network Mode and Channel set to the default, unless specified otherwise by your ISP. Ensure that the “Enable” option is selected for “Wireless SSID Broadcast”. This essentially turns on your wireless network and allows it to be discovered. Once you are done, click the “Save Settings” button. Click the “Wireless Security” section to open up your wireless security options. Here you will be able to set the security encryption type and password.  Security Mode – Set this to WPA2 if possible.

Passphrase – This is the password that people will need to enter when they attempt to connect their devices to your network. Make sure that the password is strong to prevent unwanted intruders. Your router will apply the changes and restart. Your wireless network will now be activated and secured.
Summary: Click the Wireless tab. Give your network a name. Enable broadcast. Secure your network. Click “Save Settings” when you are finished.

Problem: Article: In the pitcher of a blender, combine 1 cup (237 ml) of chicken stock with 1 15 ounce (425 g) can of whole peeled tomatoes in juice. Puree the mixture until it is completely smooth, and then set aside. If you have a hand blender, you can puree the stock and tomatoes in a bowl or pot. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of canola oil to a 4 quart (3.7 L) saucepan. Turn the burner to medium-high, and allow the oil to heat until it’s hot or starts to shimmer, which should take approximately 3 to 5 minutes. You can substitute vegetable oil for the canola oil if you prefer. Once the oil is hot, mix in 2 serrano chiles that have been cut in half lengthwise and seeded, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and half a small white onion that’s been minced. Cook the mixture on medium-high until it’s soft, which should take approximately 4 minutes. Make sure to wash your hands after handling the serrano chiles because the oils from the skin of the chiles can irritate your skin and eyes. When the chiles, garlic, and onion are soft, stir 2 cups (370 g) of long-grain white rice into the pan. Allow it to cook until the rice grains become golden brown, which should take approximately 6 minutes. Stir the rice occasionally while it’s cooking to ensure that it doesn’t burn. When the rice has turned golden brown, add the tomato and broth mixture, 1 cup (150 g) of frozen peas that have been thawed, and kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste to the pan. Mix well so all of the ingredients are well blended. You can also add a couple of carrots that have been peeled and cut into cubes to the rice if you desire. Lower the burner’s heat to low, and allow the mixture to cook until the rice becomes tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed. It usually takes approximately 15 minutes for the rice to fully cook. Be sure to cover the pan while the rice is cooking for the final time. That traps the steam, which helps cook the rice. Once the rice is finished cooking, remove the pan from the heat and use a fork to gently fluff the rice. Next, transfer it to a serving dish and serve alongside your favorite Mexican main dish.
Summary: Puree the chicken stock and tomatoes in a blender until smooth. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the chiles, garlic, and onion, and cook until soft. Mix in the rice, and cook until golden brown. Stir in the tomato mixture, peas, and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat and cook until the rice is tender. Remove the pot from the heat and fluff the rice before serving.

Problem: Article: With every listen, new insights and observations should occur to you. If on the first listen you focused on lyrics or melody, try to stretch yourself to notice something different the next time and the time after. The album took a lot longer to make than it will take to listen to it, so try and respect the effort of the artists and appreciate the complexity. Try to bring the music with you as you go about your day. Let it play while you’re working out or doing chores around the house. You may notice things when it’s on in the background that you didn’t notice when you were intently listening - music is funny that way! To best qualify your assessment of the music, do a quick internet search for musical terms and then try to incorporate them into your review when applicable. Here are a few examples of musical terms that could show up in a review:   Beat (the regular rhythmic pattern of the music)  Crescendo (growing or becoming louder)  Harmony (the simultaneous sounding of two or more notes, as in a vocal harmony)  Tempo (the speed the music is played) Describe how the music makes you feel, whether the album flows from song to song or if it sounds like each song stands on its own. Jot down any poignant or super catchy lyrics. Use these insights later, when you’re adding detail to your review. If an instrument gets featured more than others, or if the guitar riffs are especially prolific, make a note. Identify your favorite songs and lyrics and the ones that seem to be the most catchy or emotional.
Summary: Listen to the album multiple times. Listen in different places at different times. Familiarize yourself with musical terms. Write your initial reactions down. Notice what stands out.

Problem: Article: Even if you're not eating at your host's home, offer to purchase the groceries. Remember that your hosts have probably already been shopping for extra groceries and spent a considerable amount of time and money to get ready for your visit. You could either bankroll their next supermarket trip, or offer to go out and buy things for both yourself and for them (ask them for a list). Don't be embarrassed about asking whether or not it is okay to do your laundry at your host's place. They understand that after a few days you'll have dirty underwear. Ask your host when the most convenient time for you to do your laundry would be, emphasizing that you don't want to cut into the household's normal routine. This doesn't mean crowding the host out of the kitchen, but instead it means collecting plates, carrying out dishes, offering to wash up or stack the dishwasher, cleaning off the counters, and taking the garbage out. You could even offer to cook a meal or two yourself.
Summary:
Offer to make contributions. Do your own laundry. Offer to help at mealtimes.
