Problem: Article: The Sino-Japanese system uses kanji characters to represent each number. The pronunciations of these characters differ from the pronunciations of the native Japanese characters. Use flashcards or a similar system to memorize these characters and their pronunciations.  One (1) is 一 (ichi, pronounced "ee-chee"). Two (2) is 二 (ni, pronounced "nee"). Three (3) is 三 (san, pronounced "sahn"). Four (4) is 四 (shi, pronounced "shee"). Because this word sounds like the Japanese word for death, the alternate pronunciation yon is also used – especially when talking about people. Five (5) is 五 (go, pronounced "goh"). Once you've memorized the kanji characters and pronunciations of the numbers from 1 to 5, add the next 5. Practice until they come as smoothly as the first five. Then you are able to count to 10 using the Sino-Japanese system.  Six (6) is 六 (roku, pronounced "loh-koo"). Seven (7) is 七 (shichi, pronounced "shee-chee"). Because this has the same shi sound as in the number four, the alternate pronunciation nana is common. Eight (8) is 八 (hachi, pronounced "hah-chee"). Nine (9) is 九 (kyuu, pronounced "kyoo"). Ten (10) is 十 (juu, pronounced "joo"). Once you know how to count to 10, creating larger numbers is a breeze. Unlike in English and other European languages, there are no new words to learn. If you break the number down into its parts and combine the symbols for each of those parts, you can count all the way to 99 with 10 characters. For example, 31 is 三十一: three tens and a one. You say it san juu ichi. 54 is 五十四: five tens and a four. You say it go juu shi. If you want to refer to the "first" or "second" rather than the cardinal number, put a 目 after the number. Then read the number and the 目 together.  For example, 一 目 means "first." You would read it ichi me (pronounced "ee-chee meh"). You do the same thing with larger numbers. For example, 三十一 目 means "thirty-first." However, in most cases you would be talking about the 31st something, such as the 31st time or someone's 31st birthday. To say that, you would need an additional character, known as a counter, that is appropriate for that thing.
Summary: Memorize the symbols and words for the numbers from 1 to 5. Move on to the symbols and words for the numbers from 6 to 10. Combine symbols to create larger numbers. Add 目 (me, pronounced "meh") to use a number as an ordinal.

Problem: Article: Chances are you’re not the only one who feels wronged. This could come in handy when looking for ways to get even.  Maybe your coworker has wronged several of you. Work with others to formulate a plan. Grab your friends for a multi-front getting even scheme. You can all use social media to your advantage, or if you have access to your target's apartment or home, enough of you can easily rearrange his furniture, and if you really want to get even, you can do something like putting his mattress on the roof. Just like every great heist flick, or mafia movie, everyone has a role. Figure out who is going to distract your target, who’s going to be the lookout, who’s going to be the greaseman, etc. Getting even requires precision when there are many moving parts so make sure everyone knows his role. You wouldn’t play in the Superbowl without practicing, so don’t get even without some rehearsal. Now that everyone has been assigned a role, it’s time to put your plan into action.  If you’re getting even with your coworker, know how long it will take you to complete your task. Have you and your compatriots get to work early to clock how much time you have. If you’re getting even with your friend, know what his schedule is like and how long it will take you to get in and get out. If you need his phone or computer pay attention to how he uses it and if he leaves it unlocked. Alternatively, if he has a passcode on his phone, one simple option here is to have your other friend distract your target while you put in the wrong passcode enough times to lock him out. You can even lock him out for 24 hours if you’re feeling especially vindictive. You did it! You and your friends got even, now relish in your achievements with a beverage or two.
Summary: Find others who are looking to get even. Assign a role to everyone. Practice and rehearse. Execute the plan for getting even. Bask in your glory!

Problem: Article: If you see that food has been spilt on a toy or that it got dirt on it when your child was outside, take the initiative. Any sign of dirt or grime is an indication that the toy could be carrying disease. Your child—and by extension you—will never be well if they go back to playing with the same toys that they were using when they came down with a cold. Anytime your child seems to be showing a case of the sniffles or diarrhea, assume the worst and start sanitizing everything they have come in contact with. If other kids have come over to play, they have likely touched the toys. In the process, they could have spread illnesses from their house. Clean up immediately after a play date. Even if nothing in particular has prompted you to clean your baby’s toys, you need to clean at regular intervals. Planning for a monthly cleaning is a good rule of thumb. It can be easy to forget about big toys, like dollhouses, but these need regular cleanings too. Clean the surface and insides of larger toys. Clean the surface of the toys with your chosen disinfectant. Then, wipe away the solution and allow the larger toys to air dry.
Summary:
Clean when you notice dirt or grime. Clean after your baby has been sick. Clean after your baby has visitors. Clean at least once a month. Remember the big items.
