Make math more interesting by turning it into a game. Download an app on your computer or tablet that uses math to solve puzzles or complete different levels in the game. You can also play old-fashion board games, like Monopoly or Yahtzee, to exercise your math skills while still having fun. Dice and Card games are also great ways to develop and test your math skills. There are a lot of tricks in math that are fun to know because they save you a lot of time. They are often interesting, too. For example, adding up all the numbers from 1 to 100 is a lot of work. But, check out this very easy way to do it: 100 + 1 = 101 and 99 + 2 = 101, right? So does 98 + 3, 97 + 4, 96 + 5, etc. Instead, if you multiply 101 by the amount of these pairs, you will get your sum of all the numbers from 1 to 100, which is 5050. You could have added 1+2+3...but by doing this, you found a way out of doing extra work. That's fun. Learn math tricks that will make calculating much easier. Math clubs will be filled with people who are passionate about math. By surrounding yourself with math lovers, it will inspire you to become interested in math, and to learn about the different ways in which math is incorporated in your everyday life. Join a club at school, online, or in your local community. A lot of people lose interest in math because it can be difficult to learn. Math can be difficult to learn because, in the modern-day classroom, students are taught to learn math by memorizing formulas. However, by learning math this way, students aren't taught the underlying principles and concepts, which are needed to understand why a particular formula is being used. Therefore, make math easier by learning and understanding the underlying principles and concepts of a given piece of mathematics.  Ask your teacher during or after class why and how a particular formula works, while others do not. Ask your teacher, "What are the underlying principles of this formula?" or "How can I make this formula less abstract and more concrete?" You can test yourself to see if you understand math by asking yourself these questions: Can I explain mathematical facts and concepts in simpler facts and concepts? Can I make logical connections between different concepts and facts? Can I identify the principles that make everything work in a given piece of mathematics?

Summary: Make math a game. Learn math tricks. Join a math club. Make math easy.


Not all email readers have the same capabilities as web browsers. Design your email so more people will be able to view the HTML version instead of having to revert to the plain-text version.  Structure content by using tables. Store images on a live web server or use stock images. Use "https://" (or "http://") in your links. Though it is more appealing to use colors and graphics, there is a good chance that someone on your email list will not be able to view your HTML email, no matter how well it is designed. Unless you absolutely have to use an image, stick to text where possible.  Spam filters can block images and attachments. They also tend to filter emails of substantial size, which can include you if you have large image files or numerous images. Many mobile users won't see your images anyway. These guidelines are set up to protect consumers by ensuring proper privacy settings and making certain that legitimate businesses are behind email marketing.  Provide a way to opt out of your email list. This can be an automatic unsubscribe link at the bottom of your email. You can also identify an email address for them to contact and ask to be removed if they no longer wish to receive your emails at any point in the future. Include your business's name and physical mailing address. Readers need to know that you are a valid businesses and not a scheme or spammer. Ensure that the "from" and "reply-to" addresses are valid and active. Provide a way for readers to contact you if they have questions or are interested in supporting your business. Choose an appropriate subject line. Your subject should be a concise description of what the email contains, not invalid sales offers or false promotions. Once you've added your HTML to your email, scroll through the email to make sure that the various components of the page are showing up:  Look to see if links are intact and active. Ensure that images and fonts appear correctly. Check to see if your table is too wide. Test your email in as many email readers as possible. Send your email both to yourself at as many different email addresses as possible and to a variety of contacts, then follow up to see whether or not your contacts received your email. If your email is sent to the Spam folder during any of your tests, you may have to remove things such as images and links to pages which don't use HTTPS encryption.

Summary: Use code for email readers. Rely on the text to communicate your message. Follow Federal Trade Commission guidelines. Review your HTML email before sending it. Perform a spam test.


Winters are hard on people: long nights, not much sunshine. It's not an easy task to look bright and fresh every day. Get a lot of sleep and when you're unable to do it,  take advantage of the weekend and get some rest.  Try to enjoy the sun when you can find some!- and fill the lack of it by taking vitamin D. Add vitamin C for energy! Cure your colds with adequate remedies and by staying warm. Healthy doesn't mean boring, protected and cloistered. Keep up with some exercise and go for walks, go downtown and hang out with your friends, try not giving up on your hobbies...  Maintain a social life. Winter is a tiring season, so make compromises. For instance, having a fun going out on Saturday and staying in on Sunday will keep you both rested and happy. Enjoy the winter pleasures––snowballs fights, winter sports, Christmas shopping, etc. Try to stay in an optimistic state of mind. Don't forget: a happy person shows her beauty on her face and will glow through the coldest winters!
