This number is typically used as a gauge of natural advantage for sports that involve catching, throwing, tackling, or gripping – notably, for quarterbacks in American football. Hand span is also used to choose the correct size of cello, violin.  If your finger span is six inches or wider, then you should buy a full-sized 4/4 cello. If your span is 5–6 inches (12.7–15.2 cm), choose a 3/4 cello; if 4–5 inches (10.2–12.7 cm), pick a 1/2 cello; if 3–4 inches (7.6–10 cm), a 1/4. Bear in mind that height, arm length, age, skill level, and other indices may also be used to decide between cello sizes. Sports camps and sports statistics analyzers use hand span as a handy heuristic. If you are trying to make a name for yourself in competitive football or basketball, you may be asked to report your hand span. Tape it to a table if the surface is slick. Make sure that you can comfortably stretch your hand across the space. Measure the point at which the right side of your hand falls on the ruler. You should be able to see the "span" or width of your hand, measured across the thickest point from left to right. For your grip width, measure from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your outstretched little finger.

Consider measuring your hand span. Place a ruler on a flat surface. Record your hand span.


This often changes from person to person and changes a good deal depending on the situation. But the most common rifle position is the butt of the stock in the pocket of your shoulder (just above your armpit), your cheek lightly against the stock, looking down the sights or scope in the most relaxed position possible. For larger caliber rifles with more kick, the rifle should be brought in some so the butt is resting partially on the pectoral muscle. A critical component of sniping is acquiring a good "cheek weld" or "stock weld". This means your cheek bone is held fast against the butt stock to insure proper sight alignment and sight picture. The pocket of your shoulder will absorb the recoil. Without a good cheek weld, parallax in your scope is guaranteed and you will never become proficient with any sniper weapon system/ optic-equipped rifle. The forearm should be pretty far forward on a traditional length grip which goes about 14 inches (35.6 cm) in front of the receiver. This affects the sway and oscillation of the gun, which in turn affects how consistent your shots can be.  Note: It also helps to practice 'stress firing', where you must take hasty shots with fatigue. Try running a quarter mile or whatever will bring up your heart rate and do enough push-ups so that your arms are twitching. Learn to compensate for the trembling in your muscles. If you only shoot paper targets, you can skip this, but in hunting or combat you may not have the luxury of rested muscles. At a minimum, try it as an experiment just to see to what degree stress impacts your ability to engage targets. There are many different techniques for breathing while standing, often it is recommended to have your lungs most of the way full. Hold your breath and wait until the reticle goes over your target. If you are a sniper, a sling is essential. Firing in a standing position is very fatiguing, especially supporting the barrel. A sling will help support the weight and allow the shooter a much higher degree of accuracy. For prone and...

Choose your rifle position. The forearm under the stock (if prone) or under the front of the gun where there is obviously a grip. Become aware of your breathing. Consider trigger pull.


This one can get a bit annoying after a while, so make sure you stay calm. Don't do this near a surface with holes in, otherwise you may lose your ball. You must be wearing shorts or a dress for this one. Trousers are perfect too. Your knees should be bent and your legs should be completely straight. Roll the ball down your legs and when it reaches your knee, flick your knees backwards. When the ball hits your chest, trap it with your chin. It's really hard! This one takes A LOT of practice to make perfect!

Note/s: Put your legs together while sitting down. Make sure you catch your ball quickly if it falls forwards, as someone may take it, as it rolls away from you!


This one is a common issue, so it is best to be prepared. By and large, delays are understandably hard to avoid (such as unforeseen traffic issues) and are forgiven by guests who came on time. That being said, here are a few things you can do to do your best to keep it from happening:   Ensure that invitations are clear as to the time of the event and if requesting an RSVP, ensure that the time is confirmed. Communicate with (via your contact sheet) the MC, relevant guests (often the leaders of the party members), entertainers and kitchen staff as soon as you're aware of an issue you cannot resolve easily.  Should the delayed guests be the focus (such as the bride and groom), the usual methods are: Contact the delayed guest/s directly to check for an estimation. Advise the kitchen immediately of all developments so they can slow down or speed up to keep time. Refrain from making it known publicly that the event is being delayed because of certain guests (because the party will work that out on their own), but advise key hosts or members of the party that you have been made aware of the fact. Let them know what you intend to do, but allow the hosts to make a suggestion as they know the members of their party and what would be appropriate in the context. Maintain careful watch on the time in relation to speeches. If key guests are late, serve an additional appetizer (first course) and/or beverage early as this will prevent guests who came on time from becoming bored and will keep them occupied. For guests that are going to be delayed for more than is reasonable or possible (such as when serving food that simply cannot wait, such as souffles), start the event as planned and when the delayed guests arrive, start them at the next course of a meal (even if this is dessert). Organise an additional dance, game, speech or other form of entertainment (especially music), and ensure extra distractions, such as group or party photographs are done until they arrive and this back-up strategy should be considered the day in...

This one is easy to find an excuse for. Just say "I'm trying to use the bathroom here," or "I'm on my period" (for girls). This one is very tricky to get out of. Your best bet is to fake a fall or sit on the ground and look as sick as you can. If you're good at fake crying, this is also a good idea in this situation. This is almost impossible to excuse yourself from. You could say your mom just took you to the dentist/doctor/counselor. Or you could just make a break for it and hope no one recognized you. Give the person who caught you one of these excuses:  You were just running an errand for a teacher. You were on your way to the bathroom. You left your schoolbag/homework in your locker. You're on your way to/back from the nurse. You're new to the school and can't figure out the way to your class. (This excuse is most effective at the beginning of the school year). If you get caught wandering around, pretend to go back to class and go to the nearest bathroom for the rest of the period. When you have successfully skipped that class, return to school and attend your next class as normal. Have in mind a few of the excuses mentioned above in case your teacher found out you weren't at your previous class. You could also forge a note from a teacher/parent to make sure all of your bases are covered in case anyone asks you about it.

This one won’t need as much preparation simply because this place will be special already to both of you. You can make her think it’s a casual date by pretending you don’t remember the significance of the spot. But when you’ve finally arrived, you may want to start talking about the time you first met as a lead in to your proposal.  Some topics you might want to use to set the tone for your proposal include: what you thought about her the first time you saw her, what makes her special to you, and how she still makes you feel. You might also bring up particular moments that you shared where you overcame an obstacle or you spent your time together enjoyably. Set out candles or other romantic touches. If you first met at a park, you might have a blanket laid out close to the exact location you met. Scatter your blanket with some sweet smelling blossoms to up the romantic appeal. She’ll think you’re just being charming, but when you ask her to marry you, she’ll likely think you’re her one and only. A special occasion will make the extravagance of a hotel stay a little less suspicious to her. You might tell her it’s for her birthday or your own. You could plot to spring this proposal around the time of your anniversary or some other special date that you celebrate together. Call or text her and let her know you’ve arranged a hotel reservation for the two of you.  To make it an even bigger surprise, don’t tell her any more than she needs to know. Inform her of the date, time, and room number. Then you can leave the door unlocked so she can walk in. But Before she does, you should arrange the room for maximum romance. This might mean playing soft, sweet music in the background, or even leaving a trail of scattered flower petals to a balcony with a table set for two. Then, when the moment is right, all you have to do is ask. Some hotels might have services in place for wedding proposals. While you are booking your hotel, you should let the person handling your reservation know that you plan to propose to your...

This operation is called mastopexy. Under general anesthesia, the surgeon removes excess skin, lifts your breasts, and cuts away the nipples to position them higher on your chest. Because it involves cutting around the nipple tissue, you will risk losing sensation there. As with any surgery, other risks are infection and blood loss. You can minimize the risk of blood loss by telling your doctor if you are on any medication to thin your blood, and by refraining from drinking alcohol and taking aspirin prior to the procedure. The recovery time is about three to five days for normal daily activities and four to six weeks to resume your exercise program. In this new procedure,  the surgeon uses the laser to cut away just the outer layer of the skin so that the tissue just beneath can be cut away. He or she then attaches this tissue under the breasts to form an internal bra. This process is called "pedicle de-epithelialization." Many surgeons prefer this technique as it reduces blood loss and tissue damage while also improving the skin's firmness.  Like traditional breast lifts, it is done under general anesthesia. The recovery time is the same as with a traditional breast lift. Since the nipple is not removed, you won't experience any loss of sensation. Some plastic surgeons claim that the results are longer lasting that a typical breast lift because of the internal support. The risks are the same as with any other surgery. This procedure involves the surgeon placing a cup made of hard silicone inside and under the breasts. The surgeon then secures the cups with silk straps screwed to the ribs. This forms an invisible bra that holds the breasts in a perkier position. Three women in the United Kingdom have had this done so far.  This procedure is still experimental, and it may be a while before it becomes available to everyone. No one knows how effective it will be in the long-term, as well as what the long-term risks are.

This option is more expensive than making a suit out of a shirt and pants, but some find it easier to have a one-piece suit. make sure the coverall you purchase is white or light in color.  Dark colors can aggravate bees since these colors remind them of their predators, like bears and skunks. Make sure the coverall fits loosely in order to keep the material from directly contacting the skin. This helps to avoid stingers that might pierce the fabric. Measure elastic to fit the neck hole and wrists, then cut the elastic to the correct measurements. Sew the elastic pieces around neck opening and wrist openings.  This is important to prevent bees from gaining access to the inside of the coverall. Don't make the elastic too tight, but it should be tight enough to offer protection from bees. When putting on the beekeeper's suit, put the hat on first, then the coveralls. Make sure the mesh of the hat is securely tucked in at the neck of the coveralls.

This over-the-counter medication may relieve itching. It is, however, a topical steroid, so you should not use it on your face, or on skin folds such as your groin, axilla, or pendulous breasts. To use it, apply it in a thin film over the affected area up to 4 times a day for 5-7 days. To help control itching, you can try taking an oral OTC antihistamine, like Benadryl, Claritin, or Zyrtec. Consult your pharmacist if you have any questions about how much you should take. Don't take a topical antihistamine, such as Caladryl. This may worsen your skin reaction. Buy an oatmeal bath, like the one sold by Aveeno. Put the oatmeal treatment into your bathtub to help soothe your skin and relieve itching. However, this is only a temporary soothing solution.  You can also add 2 cups of oatmeal to warm bath water and soak to calm large areas of red, irritated skin. When the water cools, rinse off the oatmeal and gently pat your skin dry.  This is especially good for chicken pox, poison ivy, and eczema. After you soak your skin, you can use calamine lotion to prevent itching and soothe your skin. Make sure that calamine lotion does not interact with any other medication you're taking. Over-the-counter itch relievers, such as Dermoplast, are designed to spray in hard-to-reach places and relieve itch. Many products like this also have moisturizer in them.

You can also apply a layer of paste to a cloth or clean cotton bandage, lay over skin and secure, and wear for 4 hours. Look for clay that is untreated.

This padding is found in the foot section at drugstores. Most moleskin comes in skin colors, so you may have a harder time matching it to your bra. It's used to pad corns and calluses, but today, you'll use it to fix your bra. A small package will do, as you don't need very much. Just like with the fabric, you will cut a strip of moleskin large enough to patch the hole. You may want it large enough to go over the edge of the bra for more stability. Also, try to round off the corners so the fabric won't poke you. Find the place the wire is sticking out. Push it all the way back in, so you can't see the wire anymore. You may want to cover it up a bit with the fabric from the bra. Just stretch it out a bit and use the one side of the rip to cover it up. Peel the paper backing off the moleskin. Put the strip sticky-side down over the hole, and bend it over the edge of the bra if you need to. Smooth it out with your fingers, and the patch is done. Make sure you spend some extra time smoothing with the moleskin. The moleskin needs the heat from your skin to really adhere to the fabric.

Buy moleskin padding. Cut a strip. Poke the wire back in. Cover up the hole.


This part is important because you need to define what an emergency actually is and is not. An emergency is not that last pair ever of your most favorite shoes on sale nor is it when a friend comes telling you a tale of financial woe. This is about your emergency savings that will protect you, not your wardrobe or your friends. An emergency is:  A natural disaster that causes you to have to leave your living arrangements temporarily or permanently  Job loss or a massive cut-back in hours A sudden immediate family illness for which you're responsible for meeting payment costs Invasion (war), or civil unrest, especially if you need to vacate or stockpile, and so forth. After you have developed an emergency fund, work on reducing your sense of fear and worry that you're only a few steps away from destitution. Some of the things you can do include:  Deal with your emotional issues around money, especially if you over-spend or hide money from your spouse. Get used to using a budget; this cannot be over-stressed! Do not spend more than what you earn. Having more stuff that causes you to go into debt is a very poor plan for living a fulfilled and worry-free life. Put your savings ahead of your splurging. If you feel a sense of financial deprivation, again you'll need to deal with your emotional issues.

Avoid touching your savings account until you are in a real emergency. Aim to have a plan for an increasing level of savings in place at all times.


This part of the introduction gets you and your reader from the hook to the main idea of your paper or text. Provide some background information on the hook you just used or establish how it relates to your topic. For example, if you used a quote, you might say, "That quote, from renowned scientist John Biologist, shows just how far cats have come over the course of evolution." Often, your hook is a bit broader than your main idea, which is fine. In this transitional area, use sentences that gradually narrow down your topic until you hit the specific idea you want to discuss. For instance, if you started with a story about how cats evolved in an essay on cat traits, you might start narrowing by first discussing what traits they inherited from their ancestors. Then, you can move on to the traits they've developed since branching off from other predators. In these transition sentences, begin adding specifics to give the reader an idea of where you're headed. Use these specific points to move towards your main topic.  For example, you might write, "It's impossible to talk about the characteristics of cats without at least mentioning evolution. However, I will focus primarily on the contemporary genes of domesticated cats." Here, you're letting the reader know that your main idea is genes in domestic cats, so you've gotten more specific. However, you're still moving to your main idea sentence, where you'll specify just what genes you plan to cover. Give enough information that your reader is interested in reading your paper and is able to follow along with what you're saying. However, don't give your whole argument, as then the reader doesn't have an incentive to read your paper.  The introduction helps engage your readers. The trick is finding the right balance between providing enough information to pique their interest, but not giving so much information that you answer every question upfront. For instance, you might talk about how you plan on showing how cats evolved to be the perfect predators, but you don't...

This part of the program requires that you mark off a distance of 50 yards (45.7 m). This can be done with flags, cones, even household objects. Do the following three warm up jogs:  Jog the 50 yards (45.7 m). Jog slowly and easily to allow your muscles to engage. Jog sideways. Start with your knees bent and side step your way across the 50 yards. At 25 yards, turn around so that you are leading with the other leg. Keep your hip, knee, and ankles in a straight line while you do it. Jog backwards. Land on your toes while you run backwards. Keep your knees slightly bent so that they will not lock. This will warm up your hip extensors and hamstrings. Your lower legs need to be strong and flexible so that you can jump and turn safely during games. Stretching them will increase your flexibility and reduce soreness after the work out. If you have not done other warm up exercises, walk quickly for five to ten minutes to do so. Your muscles must be warm when you stretch or you risk injuring them. When you stretch always hold the position for approximately 30 seconds without bouncing. Keep breathing. You should feel the stretch but it shouldn’t be painful. Stand with one foot slighting in front of the other. Keep the heel of the back leg on the ground while you slowly reach down towards the ground. You should feel a stretch in the calf of the back leg. Repeat this twice for each leg holding it for 30 seconds each time. Your thighs are important for jumping, landing, and pivoting during basketball. You have several muscles in your thighs which you can stretch individually.  Stretch your quadriceps. Hold onto the side of a building or tree while doing this. Bend your leg on the opposite side so that your heel is near your backside. Use your free hand to hold your ankle. Your knee should be pointing to the ground and should not go out to the side.

This pattern is a simple and versatile style. You can find different variations of outlines that range in width and length. Simply print out the one you prefer and make sure that it is the classic tie pattern and has a diamond cut at the bottom. If you're using a fabric other than silk, you should preshrink it by washing and drying it before you iron. This will ensure the fabric doesn't shrink if you have the tie steamed or washed. If the interfacing has not been preshrunk, preshrink it by soaking it in hot water for 10 minutes, then letting it dry and running an iron over it.

Start with the classic tie pattern. Beware of your fabric shrinking.


This peice of glass will act as a counter-electrode. You can use a regular graphite pencil. Just rub the tip of the pencil over the glass until it is fully covered with the graphite residue. You can cut a thin plastic spacer to put between the pieces of glass. The spacer should go on the clean side of the glass (opposite the tea or graphite side). Alternatively, you can put tape around the edges on the clean side of the glass to form a spacer. This keeps the glass ever so slightly separated. An iodine solution is an ideal electrolyte. You can get it over the counter at most pharmacies. Mix the solution in a 3:1 ratio with alcohol. Put one to two drops of the solution between the two pieces of glass. Before the solution has time to evaporate, press the two pieces of glass firmly together. Use alligator clips to hold them in place. Your cell is now capable of producing electrical currents when exposed to light. You can test this by placing the cell in sunlight and using a multimeter to check for current.

This person may be nice once in awhile, and they might genuinely love you. They might even be a really good person in other areas of their life. However, this doesn’t mean that the relationship is healthy for you. If you get a negative feeling every time you think about a person, even if they’re usually nice to you, it may be because they’ve hurt you so deeply that you have a hard time moving on. In this case, you might want to take a little time away from them to focus on yourself. It doesn't matter why they did what they did, or whether they're sorry. If it's a pattern of an ongoing unhealthy relationship and you feel you'd be better off without that person in your life, you have to make the choice that's right for you.  For example, if someone is frequently unkind to you, don't rationalize their behavior by saying something like, "He must have had a bad day," or "She's been under a lot of stress lately." Similarly, don't blame abuse on yourself by saying things like, "If I hadn't accused him of lying, he wouldn't have hit me." On the other hand, if someone who is generally very nice to you snaps or says something short-tempered once in a while, it's fine to take their circumstances into consideration. Part of the reason that family relationships are so complicated is because of the number of people involved. When you’re deciding whether to cut a person out of your life, you have to take the rest of the family into account, since it may affect your relationships with them as well. However, sometimes this is unavoidable.  If you’re cutting ties with one parent, it might affect your relationship with the other parent. If you have trouble with a sibling, you might lose contact with your niece or nephew. Also, you might be uninvited from family holidays or other events where the other family member may be present. However, there will likely be some family members who choose to support you, so don’t let this be your only deciding factor. Never demand or expect other family members to cut off their relationship...

Examine the big picture of your relationship with your family member. Don't rationalize the person's behavior. Consider other family who might be affected. Take a step back from a one-way relationship. Get distance from family members who feed off of drama. Avoid people who always make you feel stressed or unhappy. Walk away from any relationship that is abusive.


This person should be the only one holding the string. It doesn’t matter which one of you makes the first move—the game will play out the same way in either situation.  By the time you go through one complete cycle, your roles will be reversed. The player who started with Cat’s Cradle will then be the one assisting with the following shape. If you mess up, begin a new game with the other player starting things off. Let it rest just behind your knuckles. Keep your thumbs on the outside of the strands. This will allow you to move freely and will also keep the string from slipping off your hands.  Keep your fingers clear of the string. That way it won’t accidentally get tangled up. Some people prefer to lace the string around their middle and ring fingers rather than their whole wrist. This is mostly a matter of preference. Rotate your hands so that the loop is doubled up around your palms. You should now have one strand running in front of each palm in addition to the ones wrapped around the backs of your hands. This will put you in the correct position to start weaving the first shape.  You should turn your wrists in such a way that only one strand gets wrapped around twice. Otherwise, both strands will twist together and ruin the setup. If you’re having trouble looping the string around your wrists a second time, have your partner help you. Reach across and slide the middle finger of one hand under the strand looped in front of your palm. Do the same with your opposite hand, making sure to only grab the section in front. Then, pull the strands apart so that they form a double ‘X’ in the middle. This shape is the “Cat’s Cradle.”  Guide your fingers directly through the center of the loop and make sure not to grab any other strands by accident. Once you’ve formed Cat’s Cradle, the game can officially begin.

Choose a player to start the game. Loop the string around the back of both hands. Wrap the string around your wrists one more time. Catch the inner strand of the string with your middle fingers.


This person will roll a pair of matched dice. Before rolling, however, the shooter must lay down a bet. A backstop or restraining surface is not required for street craps, although players may choose to use a wall or curb as a backstop or restrain the dice by rolling them in a taut blanket. The other players may “fade” or bet any amount up to the amount of the shooter’s bet. If they do not fade the shooter’s entire bet, the shooter must withdraw the portion not faded. Players may also make side bets as to whether the shooter will roll a winning number or whether a certain combination will appear on the roll. The outcomes are similar to bank craps.  If the come-out roll is a 7 or 11, the shooter wins money from the other players. The shooter can bet again and make another come-out roll, or retire by passing the dice to the player to his or her left. If the come-out roll is 2, 3, or 12, the shooter loses the bet to the other players. The shooter again has the option to bet again or pass the dice to a new player. If the come-out roll is anything else, that number becomes the point. The other players may then make additional bets as to whether the shooter will or won’t make the point. The outcomes are again similar to bank craps.  If the shooter makes the point, the shooter wins and may either bet and play another round or pass the dice. If the shooter rolls a 7 (craps out), the shooter loses any money bet and must pass the dice to the next player. If the shooter rolls anything else, the shooter rolls again until either making the point or crapping out. There is no “come point” as in bank craps.

Designate a shooter. Have the other players put up a stake against the shooter. Roll the dice for the come-out roll. Roll the dice for the point-making roll.


This person's first-hand experience with smoking and quitting might inspire you to quit more than your family members' lectures. Ask the person to recommend a few useful strategies. They may even suggest or accompany you to a local support group. If this is one of the people who pressured you to quit, all the better. Make sure this person agrees to hold you accountable and offer encouragement once you decide to actually stop smoking. Research shows that having some form of support when trying to quit an addiction can assist you in being more successful. Your support group can be there on days when you really want to reach for that cigarette. Phoning a friend or spending time with someone you care about can prevent you from relapsing. Try to find a group such as Nicotine Anonymous or something similar at a community center near you. Even if you have not quite worked up the nerve to quit altogether, attending a few of these meetings and hearing the struggles and successes of others might be just what you need to take the next step towards quitting.

This pertains to providing training and awareness to supervisors and managers to discreetly address any office relationships. They should be advised to monitor office relationships without infringing on any employee’s privacy.  The managers should be instructed to amicably and comfortably coach employees who get into a relationship with each other. If necessary, they should talk to the employees any negative impact their relationship has had on the office environment, on productivity, or on team morale. They should also be instructed to keep their ears open for gossip and any potentially career damaging behaviors in case the relationship breaks up. Where a breakup ends up becoming a sexual harassment claim, they are advised to immediately take action in consultation with HR. The company should have a well defined policy to handle any sexual harassment claims. The policy should detail how a sexual harassment claim should be handled. The policy should serve the purpose of educating employees about the behaviors that fall under harassment and emphasize the fact that the company has a zero tolerance policy regarding harassment. If the company finds it suitable, it may be a good idea to establish a separate workplace relationship policy. However, sometimes this is covered under the company's harassment policy.  The workplace relationship policy may state that all staff members are expected to behave in a professional manner and all personal interactions and relationships must be kept outside of the workplace. Furthermore, consequences of the relationship turning bitter must be clearly spelled out within this policy. Once you have a concrete policy that is being periodically reviewed, you should be prepared to handle an issue if it comes your way. There has to be a level of professionalism and decorum maintained throughout the office, relationship or no relationship. So when two employees are together you need to watch them closely for any inappropriate behaviors.  Things like hand holding, talking intimately,...

This popular use of meringue requires a bit less finesse than you need to make cookies, since baking the pie with slightly softer peaks will still turn out beautifully. When your pie filling is prepared, simply spread the meringue across the top, then place it in the oven and bake it until the top of the meringue is light brown at the tips.  You can make the pie look more decorative by creating mini peaks and curls. After you spread the meringue on the pie surface, use the back of a spoon to lightly touch the surface of the meringue and lift it into a small peak. Repeat in the pattern on the rest of the pie. Be sure that your oven temperature isn't too hot when you're baking meringue pie. In order for the peaks to hold, the moisture needs to evaporate gradually with relatively low heat. . To make cookies, be sure your batch of meringue has been beaten long enough to form quite thick, stiff, glossy peaks. Spoon dollops of the meringue onto a cookie sheet. Use the back of the spoon to lightly press the center of a cookie, then lift up to form a small peak. Repeat with the remaining cookies and bake them for about 10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.  You can flavor meringue cookies by stirring in cinnamon, pumpkin spice, small chocolate chips, or cocoa powder. For prettier cookies, fill an icing bag with meringue and pipe them onto the cookie sheet through a decorate tip. This way you can make ridged swirls and other patterns. To make peppermint meringues, mix a few drops of peppermint extract and red food coloring in a bowl. After piping the meringue onto the cookie sheet, use a small clean paintbrush to pain candy cane-like stripes around the ridges of the cookies before baking them.

This pose stretches your spine, the back of your thighs, and the groin. It strengthens pelvic muscles and helps with menstrual cramps.  Sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you. Bend the right knee outward to about a 90-degree angle so that the sole of the right foot touches the inner left thigh. Engage your core to keep your spine straight and begin to fold over your left leg. If you think your back may round, stop and hold the position where you are. Take note of your breath as it can indicate when you should stop. Breathe slowly and deeply for 1-2 minutes. Then sit up slowly and repeat the pose for the right leg after a minute of rest. This pose is intended to stretch the groins, hips, back of the thighs and legs. Relieving back pain, sciatica, and menstrual cramps are its main therapeutic uses.  Lie straight on your back with your head on the floor. Lift the right leg by partially bending the knee. Clasp the right toes with the right fingers. Press your left thigh with the left hand to prevent spontaneous lifting of the left leg. Now exhale slowly and begin to straighten the right leg as much as possible without overexerting. It may feel difficult to fully straighten the right leg because your lower limbs are longer than the upper limbs. If necessary, hold the pose with your leg bent. You may wrap a belt or towel around your right foot and hold that belt/towel with your right hand at a suitable length. Just make sure both your shoulders are relaxed and on the floor. Notice your breath so you can determine when you are overexerting yourself. Breathe gently and hold this pose for 1-3 minutes. Bring your right leg back to the floor and repeat the pose for your left leg. This pose provides a workout to your pelvic floor, which may relieve discomfort due to menstrual cramps.

This postulates that all matter exhibits both wave and particle properties. A central concept of quantum mechanics, this duality addresses the inability of classical concepts like "particle" and "wave" to fully describe the behavior of quantum-scale objects.  For complete knowledge of matter duality, one must have concepts of Compton effect, photoelectric effect,de Broglie wavelength, and Planck's formula for black-body radiation. All these effects and theories proves the dual nature of matter. There are different experiments for light set by scientists proves that light have dual nature i.e. particle as well as wave nature... In 1901, Max Planck published an analysis that succeeded in reproducing the observed spectrum of light emitted by a glowing object. To accomplish this, Planck had to make an ad hoc mathematical assumption of quantized action of the oscillators (atoms of the black body) that emit radiation. It was Einstein who later proposed that it is the electromagnetic radiation itself that is quantized into photons.

For muay thai kicks, try to put a little more weight on the back foot than on the front foot. This gives you stability as you react to your opponent's moves and try to set up your kick. When you make your kick, you'll transfer your weight to the other foot for additional power.

This prank is a good one for the office. Simply use rubber bands large enough to wrap around the person's office phone, then completely wrap the phone in rubber bands. When they go to use the phone, they'll have to unwrap it first. Remember that you're taking a chance anytime you pull a prank at the office. You're cutting down on productivity, and your boss may not be okay with that. Make sure you are willing to accept the consequences before you pull an office prank. One way to prank coworkers is to grow gardens in keyboards and switch them out for the working keyboards. When your coworkers come in, you'll definitely get a laugh.  Start with an old, broken keyboard. Add water, soil, and chia or grass seeds. Enclose it in a clear plastic bag (loosely) to create a greenhouse, and set it in a sunny spot. Check on the soil every day to make sure it stays moist. Let it grow for about a week. Set the garden keyboard on the desk, and hide the person's regular keyboard. It is NOT a good idea to do this prank on a working office keyboard. That is destruction of company property, and you could easily be fired for that. Even if you're not using company property, consider your office atmosphere and the temperament of your boss before pulling this prank. Buy a box of glazed donuts. On top of them, spread or pipe mayonnaise to look like frosting. Your unsuspecting coworkers will get a mouthful of mayonnaise when they're expecting sweet frosting. This prank could backfire if someone has a food allergy or is vegan or vegetarian. Just be sure you take that into consideration before attempting it. One way to prank coworkers is to take a screenshot of their computer screens. Then, you replace their background with that screenshot. Once you hide the icons, it will look like their regular screen, but they won't be able to click on anything.  Start by hitting "Print Screen" on their keyboard. Paste it into a program like Paint. Save it as an image. Next, replace the background image with your image. You can usually do this step...

This prayer is directed toward God; however, Jesus in John 10:30 says “I and my Father are one”.  The Lord’s prayer is found in Matthew 5-7. These passages also contain the Sermon on the Mount and Beatitudes (blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted). The sermon on the mount is about the importance of God’s place in the inner life as opposed to doing religion for appearances.  Jesus condemns the religious officials who have been showing off their righteousness in public. Jesus says true righteousness belongs to those who are the lowest: those who mourn, those who are poor, those who are meek, even though they do not give the appearance of righteousness.   For example, Jesus says in Matthew 6:5 “Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them." This is one of Jesus’ instructions in Matthew 6:6 on how to pray. Jesus goes on to say, “And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.” Find a room or a private space where you can be alone, and pray to God there. Feel comforted by the presence of God "who sees in secret.”  This is not the only place you can pray. You can also “pray without ceasing” (wherever you may be you can be prayerful) as Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians. Paul also described speaking in tongues as a good way to pray. He said, "I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all" 1 Corinthians 14:18.(See also 1 Corinthians 14:2,4-5, and14-15) Jesus in Matthew 6:7 says “When you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that that by their many words they will be heard.” During this time people may have been praying using certain rituals, recitations, and incantations, but you do not need these to pray to Jesus.  Additionally, you do not need to talk about your problems when you recite the Lord’s prayer. When you pray in general, or at a different time, you can talk to Jesus about your problems. Jesus follows up the previous verse with this...

This pressure point is located on the lower leg, just above the ankle bone. SP6 is believed to stretch the cervix and strengthen weak contractions. This point should be used with caution.  Locate the ankle bone. Place three fingers above the shin bone. Slide your fingers just off the shin bone towards the back of the leg. There will be a tender place just behind the shin. This spot is very sensitive in pregnant women. Rub in circles or apply pressure for 10 minutes, or until you have a contraction. Resume applying pressure after the contraction passes. This pressure point is considered helpful if your baby hasn't dropped yet. It is located on the ankle.  Find the spot between the ankle bone and the Achilles tendon. Press into the skin with your thumb and apply pressure or rub in a circle.  This spot is frequently used during the first stage of labor, when the baby hasn't descended yet. BL60 is thought to increase circulation and relieve pain. This point is located in your pinky toe. It is thought to help induce labor and reposition breech babies. Take the pregnant woman's foot in hand. Use your fingernail to apply pressure to the tip of the pinky toe, right under the toenail. If you are worried about the safety of you and your baby, why you have not delivered yet, or just acupressure in general, contact your obstetrician, midwife, or doula. They can answer your questions and address your concerns. If you want to find out more about acupressure during pregnancy, find a licensed acupressurist. Schedule a visit and find out more to see if it is for you.

This pretty much applies to everybody including inmates, guards, and any other prison staff. Remember, nothing in prison is free and you are living in close quarters with thieves, rapists, murderers, gangsters, mobsters, sexual predators, sexual offenders, and other menaces to society.  Be skeptical of someone's politeness. Ask yourself, “What’s in it for them?” Since most inmates are aware of the “don’t trust anybody rule,” there is probably some ulterior motive for them approaching you. It is okay to talk to prison guards and staff, but be careful what you say because anything and everything you say, no matter how insignificant you think it is, can be used for or against you. Prison guards will not protect you and even if they did, you still have to go back to your cell where everybody knows you live. It is better just to keep your mouth shut regarding any information you have on another prisoner. Indirectness is the best policy. Most importantly, you need to learn to trust yourself. After all, you are the only one you can trust in a place that harbors the worst of the worst. Easier said than done, but try not to show fear, anger, happiness, or pain. Other prisoners will prey on your emotions. Simply put, emotions are your biggest enemy because it reveals weakness, which both inmates and guards will use against you.  Since most prisoners are bored, they have plenty of time to practice their manipulative skills against you. They will provoke your anger and destroy your happiness. It is important to remember that the prison guards and staff are always right and they are never on your side. In other words, treat them nicely and with respect to keep them out of your hair. Avoid challenging or intimidating inmates, guards, and staff as well. No matter if you are right or wrong, you will be the one to suffer. Staring is rude no matter where you are, but it usually won’t get you into too much trouble unless you are in prison. As you walk through the prison, keep your eyes forward and don’t stare or it could be...

This prevents the spray from drying out. Makes sure to keep your Crep protect spray away from flames, as it is flammable. Store the spray out of reach of pets and children to avoid accidental consumption. If you don’t have any high cupboards, install child-proof latches on your storage cupboard.  Keep the label on the bottle so that the contents of the bottle is clear. If your pet drinks the spray, contact a vet to discuss the best course of action. Check the bottom of the bottle to find the expiry date. This is generally about 2 years after the purchase date. If you can’t hear anything when you shake the bottle, this shows that the product has run out or has dried up.

This professional will diagnose your specific speech disorder and discover the causes. Then, they will decide which interventions will be most helpful in enabling you to speak correctly. The therapist will determine how much speech therapy you need, and you should regularly attend therapy for the best results. Therapists are capable of improving speech impediments in both children and adults.  Speech therapy is helpful for correcting your impediment. The therapist will point out the part of speech where you're having problems, and will work with you to correct it. Private speech therapy sessions do not come cheap, although most insurance policies will fund services needed to treat speech disorders. There's no substitute for learning and practice when it comes to the proper and effective use of language. Take every opportunity to speak, to practice and brush up on the correct pronunciation and enunciation provided to you by a professional. These practitioners can help you overcome your speech impediments if they are caused by emotional distress or learning disabilities.

Such interventions might help you come to terms with anxiety and learn effective ways of coping that still enable you to speak properly. . If you have misaligned teeth, you may have difficulty pronouncing some words because of a lisp. Most malocclusions are corrected through braces. Braces pull, push, and adjust individual teeth to correct your bite.  The problem with braces is that they often cause a speech impediment, especially when the springs, bands and wires of a set of braces are adjusted every month.  Every time the dentist adjusts your braces (or even dentures), you need to train yourself to talk and to eat properly. It may be quite painful at first, but remember not to go too far, lest you end up with a mouth injury. Most braces are used for orthodontic...

This recipe involves additional ingredients but it results in very strong clay that can be dropped from one meter high and not break. Mix 1 cup PVA glue, ½ tablespoon stearin (stearic acid), 1 ½ tablespoon glycerin, 1 ½ tablespoon Vaseline and ½ tablespoon citric acid in a non-stick pot over low heat. Mix completely. Use the lowest heat possible to heat up the pot. Add the ½ cup cornstarch little by little into the mixture, stirring the whole time. Adding the cornstarch little by little prevents lumps from forming. Keep mixing the clay until you can lift the clay up from the pan. It will get stickier and stickier and then heavier and very hard to stir but you must continue until you can lift it out of the pan. Place the clay on a table on top of non-stick paper (baking paper). It should be hot, a little sticky and a little lumpy. Knead the clay for about 20 minutes until all the lumps disappear and the clay becomes smooth and no longer sticky. Allow the clay to cool down for a bit if it is still hot when you finish kneading. Store the clay in sealed plastic bags to prevent it from hardening before use. Make sure you press all the air out of the bag before sealing. Use the clay to make whatever you prefer and paint using acrylic paints.

This recipe makes 11 ounces of sunscreen with an estimated SPF of 10 to 15:  1 cup Olive oil or other natural oil (grocery store) 1 oz (28 g) Pure beeswax (health food store or online) 1 to 2 tbsp USP grade zinc oxide or titanium dioxide powder (health food store, pharmacy or online) Essential oil (optional) In addition to your ingredients, you’ll need the following tools for making the sunscreen. These tools should only be used for making sunscreen, as residual oxide powder could leech into your food and make you ill.  Saucepan Heat-resistant glass jar (optional, if using double-boiler method) Spoon for stirring Gloves and face mask Stove Storage container with lid (glass jar, ceramic pot, or plastic bottle will do) Wear gloves and a face mask to protect you from coming in direct contact with the oxide powder. In particular, you want to protect yourself from inhaling it, which can be dangerous to your health.  As an extra precaution you can also wear safety goggles, which will protect your eyes in case anything splashes up when you add the powder to the hot oil solution. As you’ll be dealing with hot oil, make sure that the gloves you wear are heat-resistant and won’t melt if any oil splashes up on to them. Heat-resistant rubber gloves will work well. Just make sure they fit you well so that you can still use your hands without feeling clumsy. As the mixture cools, stir it every 5 to 10 minutes to ensure that the oxide powder remains evenly distributed throughout the mixture. It’s best if you can use this, or any other homemade sunscreens, within six months of making it. Make sure you keep it in a cool, dry place.  If the sunscreen gets too hot or too cold, the ingredients might shift. If the oxide powder isn’t evenly distributed throughout the sunscreen, it will not be effective. If the sunscreen melts or hardens, you will need to stir the sunscreen to evenly distribute the oxide powder once it’s back at room temperature and a regular thickness.

This recipe makes a small cake in a serving size suitable for your dog and a friend. If you have more canine guests, you'll want to double the recipe. You may do this in the microwave or on the stovetop. When the bacon is crispy, place it on a paper towel to drain the grease. Crumble the bacon into the bowl, and add the ground beef, cooked barley or rice, carrot and egg. Use a spoon to thoroughly mix the ingredients together.  You know best what your dog finds tasty. Feel free to add a handful of other vegetables your dog likes to "sweeten" the cake for him or her. You could also add herbs for some gourmet flair. Add a tablespoon of chopped parsley if you know your dog likes the taste. Use your fingers to press it evenly into the pan. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top. The beef should be fully cooked at this point. Remove the cake from the oven to allow it to cool, then invert it onto a plate. You may have to run a knife around the edges to help loosen the cake. Wait until the cake is mostly cool, or the cream cheese will melt.

This recipe requires a little bit more effort, but the results are worth it. It is a great option if you'd like a little more hands-on experience, or if you can't get canned pumpkin puree. Make sure that you are using a sugar pumpkin; they are usually sold in the produce section of a grocery store. Don't use a large "jack-o-lantern" type pumpkin. It will give your juice a weird taste and texture. You can do this using a large metal spoon, an ice cream scoop, or even a pulp scooper from a jack-o-lantern carving kit. Discard the pulp; you can save the seeds for roasting or for another recipe. Place the pumpkin pieces face down on a baking sheet filled with ¼ inch (0.64 centimeters) of water. Put the baking sheet into the preheated oven, and let the pumpkin roast. You can test whether or not it is done by poking it with a fork. If it's soft, it's done. The water will prevent the pumpkin from burning or becoming too dry. This will give your drink a smoother texture and better taste. The skin should peel away easily. If you need to, score some vertical lines in the skin first with a knife, then peel it away. If you need to, use the edge of a spoon to help catch the edge of the skin first. Discard the skin when you are done. Cut the pumpkin into wedges or cubes first, then place it into a blender or food processor. Pour the water over it and blend. Keep blending until the pumpkin and water are evenly mixed. You will get a thick, soupy liquid. This is your pumpkin juice base. This includes the apple juice, the apricot nectar, vanilla essence, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar. If you have any leftover pumpkin juice base, pour it into an airtight container, and save it for another recipe.  For a healthier option, try it with honey instead. For a twist, try it with brown sugar instead of white. If you can't find apricot nectar, you can use peach nectar or pear nectar instead. Keep stirring until the ingredients are evenly mixed together, then wait for them to come to a boil. This allows all the flavors to infuse into one...

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Chill the pumpkin juice. Serve the pumpkin juice cold over ice. Finished.


This red tab is present on almost all pairs of Levi’s and has become a well-recognized icon all around the world. It is a good starting point for identifying Levi’s Jeans as authentic or fake. All genuine pairs have the tab, however, on a few styles of jeans, the tab may be a different color, like green, or yellow, or white. If it is messy, or looks tampered with, these may be a fake pair. A lot of fake manufacturers un-stitch the denim of regular jeans and sew the tab in to make them look like genuine Levi’s A capital E in Levi’s is only present in pre-1971 pairs of jeans. If a pair is claimed to be from after 1971 and has the ‘Big E’, that indicates that it is a fake pair. 1 in every 100 pairs will only have a ‘registered mark’ instead of Levi’s sign. This is because they have to change the ribbon on the machine and run through a label without Levi’s stitching on it.

This refrigerator may develop an ineradicable smoky flavor, and needs to be completely empty. This should be kept in an area without nearby fire hazards, such as a garage or basement with concrete floors and no flammable materials nearby. The refrigerator does not need to be functional. Refer to the "preparing the cheese" instructions at the top of the page before you continue. Place a hot plate on the bottom of the fridge, preferably one with a temperature control. Place a small bread pan, tin can, or other heat-safe container over the hot plate. Fill it with wood chips or wood pellets intended for smoking, or taken from a source of pure wood with no toxic additives. See the tips section for advice on wood flavors. Above the hot plate, fill a large container with ice. This will keep the cheese cool and prevent it from melting. Lay the cheese pieces on the upper rack of the refrigerator. Turn on the hot plate to a low setting and shut the refrigerator door. Check every 10–15 minutes for these problems and correct them if necessary:  If the ice has melted, replace the ice water with fresh ice. If the cheese develops sweat beads, turn off the hot plate until the cheese cools down. Once the cheese develops a smoke ring around the edge, flip it over. Once the smoke ring is on both sides, remove from the setup and turn off the hot plate. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for at least a week for best flavor. Some cheeses taste best after two to four weeks for smoking. Don't give up on a nasty-tasting cheese directly from the smoker – er, the refrigerator. The flavor often improves dramatically.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Set aside a refrigerator to use only for smoking. Place a hot plate at the bottom of the refrigerator. Add a wood chip pan. Place a pan of ice on the middle rack. Begin to smoke the cheese. Smoke the cheese for 1–6 hours, checking regularly. Refrigerate the cheese.
