Color blindness will not make you ineligible to join the U.S. armed forces. But it will make you ineligible for some military occupational specialties, and for good reason. Prospective recruits generally take one or more of three color vision tests when they arrive at a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS). An inability to distinguish red from green, or even a vivid red from a vivid green, will prevent a recruit from performing some military occupational specialties (MOS) or ratings....

The classic daisy is a favorite flower to draw, and we often draw them with a simple circle and oval leaves — a classic simplified, symbolic flower doodle. To make your daisy drawing look a little more realistic, it helps to use a good reference photo. That way, you’ll be drawing what a daisy really looks like, not what you think it looks like. Look for a clear, close-up photo. Daisies are easy to grow....

Placing your voice means focusing your sound into a specific part of your face and neck to achieve more volume and better tone. The ideal placement is the spot where you feel resonance sensations between the neck and face that vibrate sympathetically and reflect resonance like a sounding board. By focusing on placing the voice correctly singers tend to have an easier time opening up the vocal cavities that will actually amplify the voice more efficiently....

Developed in the 1970s, consultative selling really came into its own in the 1980s and is still popular today. In consultative selling, the salesperson acts as an adviser (or consultant) by collecting information on a prospect’s needs and then presenting him with a solution. Generally consultative selling is a “warm and friendly” approach, using little or no hard selling. The idea is that by the time you reach the end of the sales process the close is almost automatic, since you’re able to show exactly how your product meets the prospect’s needs....

Have you ever heard golfers talking about “illegal drivers” or “non-conforming drivers”? What’s that all about? The short answer: The governing bodies of golf—the USGA and R&A—set parameters that golf clubs must meet in order to be “legal” under the Rules of Golf. But just because a given driver doesn’t meet those standards doesn’t mean a manufacturer can’t make it and sell it. It just means that such a driver doesn’t conform to the Rules of Golf and, therefore, is not allowed for use in any rounds of golf played under the rules (tournament rounds and handicap rounds, for example)....

“Red tees” is a term used by golfers — sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively — to refer to the forward-most set of teeing grounds on a golf course. If you are playing from the red tees, in this usage, you are playing the golf course at its shortest length. “Red tees” is also often used as a synonym for “women’s tees” or “ladies tees,” as the difficulty of shooting from these tees is significantly easier than from the “black tees” and “blue tees” professional men’s golfers use....
