Problem: Article: Unplug the console from both the television and its power source. The bottom side of the Xbox is covered with manufacturer warning stickers. You will be removing the feet and stickers to reveal six screws. There is a rubber foot in each corner. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the feet from the case. Under each foot, you will find a screw. You should see a screw under each sticker. You can save the stickers by attaching them to wax paper. Torx screwdrivers have a 6-point star shape and the screws are commonly used in computer equipment and other electronics. Set the screws aside so that you don’t lose track of them. Remove the top by pulling up while gently shaking. The entire top part of the case should come directly off. If you are having difficulty removing it, check to make sure that you removed all six screws from the base.
Summary: Power off the Xbox. Place the Xbox upside down on a flat, sturdy surface. Remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the Xbox. Peel off the Serial and Warranty stickers with a utility knife. Unscrew the six screws using a Torx 20 screwdriver. Turn the console upright.

Problem: Article: With a tiered APR, the credit card company applies different rates to different parts of the balance. For example, it may charge 17 percent on balances up to $1,000 and 19 percent on balances above $1,000.00. If you have an outstanding balance of $1,500, you would pay 17 percent interest on the first $1,000 and 19 percent interest on the last $500. Figure out how many tiers apply to the outstanding amount at the end of your billing cycle. You need to figure out the DPR for each of those rates individually. So, for our example:  17 ÷ 365 results in a DPR of 0.047 for the first $1,000 of your balance. 19 ÷ 365 results in a DPR of 0.052 for the last $500 of your balance. The steps are essentially the same as those for fixed and variable rates, as you can see. But it's important that you remember to apply each step to the different tier rates. Assume that we’re calculating the monthly rate for January, which has 31 days.  0.047 x 31 = a monthly rate of 1.457 percent for the first $1,000 0.052 x 31 = a monthly rate of 1.612 percent for the last $500 Again, move decimal points two places to the left to convert percentages to numbers that can be multiplied.  $1,000 x 0.01457 = $14.57 of interest paid on the first $1,000 $500 x .01612 = $8.06 of interest paid on the last $500 $14.57 + $8.06 = $22.63 of interest paid on your outstanding balance of $1,500.
Summary: Understand how tiered APRs work. Calculate the DPR for each tier. Multiply each DPR by the number of days in the month. Calculate the interest paid on your outstanding balance. Add the amounts together to find your total.

Problem: Article: It might seem like common sense to wear white underwear with white skirts, but this combination will actually make your underwear more visible. Instead, you should wear underwear that matches your skin tone, be it light, medium, or dark.  Just because a pair of underwear is labeled “nude,” does not mean that it will match your skin tone. If you are very pale, ivory or cream may work better. If you have dark skin, brown might be a better choice. You’ll have better luck finding the color you need online or in a store that specializes in undergarments and lingerie. This includes skirts made from tulle, chiffon, lace, and thin cotton. If you can see your legs through the skirt, you should wear a slip under it.  Match the slip to your skin color or to the skirt color.  If you are wearing a lace skirt, consider pairing it with a slip in a contrasting color for a more unique look. You can also wear slips under clingy skirts to reduce static. Look for a pair of underwear that does not have any side seams. The waist and leg holes won’t have elastic sewn into them, which will give you a smoother silhouette. They are typically made from smooth jersey or spandex, and you can find them online and in stores that specialize in undergarments and lingerie.  As with regular underwear, match the color of the seamless underwear to your skin tone if you are wearing a white or light-colored skirt.  T-shirt skirts and skirts made from jersey should be paired with seamless thongs to further reduce pantie lines. If you are worried about flashing your underwear while wearing a short skirt, spandex shorts are a great solution. Match the color of the shorts to the skirt, and make sure that they are shorter than the skirt. You can also wear shorts or leggings under longer skirts in the winter to keep warm.  Another option would be “boy short” style underwear. They have cuffs that cover the thighs and offer more coverage than regular underwear  If the spandex shorts are too long, fold the legs inwards until they are the right length. You can also try cutting them. Since the material is knitted, it should not fray. This will help smooth down the front of your belly and give you a streamlined silhouette. They are a great idea, even for those who already have a slender figure with a flat stomach because they will help the fabric lay more smoothly. They are great for pencil skirts!
Summary: Wear skin-toned underwear with white or light-colored skirts. Wear a slip if the material is very sheer or thin. Wear seamless underwear if your skirt is fitted. Wear spandex shorts under mini skirts. Invest in some shapewear for fitted, high-waisted shirts.

Problem: Article: If you tend to pick when you’re nervous, occupy your hands with a fidget toy. Hold on to a squishy ball, a fidget spinner or some other fun gadget that keeps your hand busy without them wreaking havoc on your face. Place the toys in areas where you have a tendency to pick, like near your couch or at your computer desk. Decrease your picking habit by donning gloves during the times when you’re most likely to pick. If you do try, the gloves will act as a barrier and stop you from doing any damage. Visit your local nail salon and get your natural nails cut down really short to prevent you from picking. You might also choose to have a set of acrylic nails installed. Either option will make your usual face-picking habit harder to achieve.
Summary:
Play with a fidget toy when you need to release anxiety. Wear gloves if you can't control the urge to pick. Get a manicure so your nails can't do damage.
