The most commonly used Greek term for grandmother is yia-yia, sometimes rendered as ya-ya. These may also be spelled as separate words: yia yia and ya ya — or without the hyphen — yiayia and yaya. These are, of course, phonetic or Americanized spelling since the Greek language uses a different alphabet from English. I have also seen yia-yia rendered as yiayiah and gigia. Learn the Greek word for grandfather....

Once the hair is dry, the battle becomes more difficult. The trick is to apply product to the hair when it’s wet – this will help define the curl....

Korn’s Origins: Korn will forever be linked with their spearheading of the so-called “nu metal” movement, a more accessible variation of metal that emphasized hooks and melodies over imposingly dense arrangements or screamed, unintelligible vocals. The band formed in the early part of the 1990s in Bakersfield, California, and originally consisted of five members: singer Jonathan Davis, bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu, guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer, drummer David Silveria, and guitarist Brian “Head” Welch....

For skaters who are taller or heavier than average, skateboarding may be a bit harder to master as the athlete’s center of gravity is much higher and the force required for movement is much greater than that of smaller and skinnier skates. However, height should not serve as a deterrent for young athletes wanting to learn to skateboard; after all, professional skateboarders Tony Hawk and Andrew Reynolds are big guys, so it’s no excuse to not try to learn the skill—tall athletes just have to work harder to master skateboarding....

Here’s a look at how wheel widths affect you. Wheel Sizes Wheel sizes are defined with the calculation: (diameter x width), so that a 17” diameter wheel might be 17x7”, 17x7....

Frets are strips of metal—generally, an alloy of nickel and brass—embedded along a guitar’s fretboard, which makes up most of the guitar’s neck. By depressing a string against the fretboard below a fret, meaning away from the guitar body, the vibrating length of that string changes, and a specific note results.
