Note any gaps around your home, including spaces around exterior fittings and crevasses near interior molding. Fill cracks less than 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) wide with silicone caulk. For spaces wider than 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm), spray an expanding foam.  Pick up foam and caulk canisters at a hardware store. You will need a caulk gun to spray silicone caulk. Expanding foams are often sprayed directly from a canister. Expanding foam isn’t waterproof, so don’t use it on areas exposed to moisture. Flesh flies often slip in through open these open spaces. If you know the flies are around your home, keeping everything shut prevents them from getting in. The only way to protect an open door or window is with a good screen. Choose a screen that has between 14 and 16 wire strands per 1 sq in (6.5 cm2) to prevent the flies from squeezing through. Adult flesh flies are active during the spring and summer months. Have screens in place so you can open up your home during warm periods. Prevent trash cans from getting dirty by putting plastic liners in them. Keep your disposal areas covered until you need to throw them away. During trash day, remove the trash bag, tie it up, and take it to an outdoor trash can for disposal. Cover the trash can with a tightly-fitting lid to prevent flies and other animals from getting into it.  Trash is a big source of flesh flies, so secure anything you throw away. Never put food directly into a trash can. Keep in mind that flesh flies smell trash. Remove trash bags regularly to avoid odors. When a bag leaks, wash out the trash can to eliminate food particles before flesh flies have a chance to reach it. Keeping your house clean is the best way to prevent flesh flies from returning. That means inspecting your yard, trash, and compost areas for waste. Remove all garbage, pet food, animal droppings, and pests from your home right away. Wash your home with soap, water, and commercial cleaners often to eliminate odors that attract flies. Bad odors tend to linger for a long time. The only way to eliminate...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Seal gaps in your home with foam and caulk. Close doors and windows or install screens over them. Secure trash in closed bags and trash cans. Clean up organic waste in and around your house regularly. Install light traps to attract stray flesh flies.


Note how she holds her body when you’re together.  If she turns her body towards you (shoulders, chest, and legs or feet), leans forward, and keeps her arms open rather than crossed, those are all positive body language cues. An open posture, while a good sign, needs to be taken in context as part of a series of positive cues. A woman may have open and engaged body posture but may be feeling more friendly than amorous. If she gets close enough to touch and/or frequently leans into your personal space, that’s often a strong indicator of interest--just be sure she isn’t leaning in simply because it’s hard to hear you. Pay close attention to how she reacts when you lightly touch her arm or her hand.  If she stiffens or pulls away, that’s a sign she’s not yet comfortable, and going in for a kiss now probably won’t go well. If she blushes, giggles, or smiles, those are signs she’s comfortable with you and would possibly be receptive to a kiss. If she lingers or presses against you while you’re saying your goodbyes, it’s often a sign that she’s reciprocating your affection. If you can’t determine from her actions and body language how she’s feeling, you can just ask. Asking her permission before assuming she wants to kiss can be a sign of consideration on your part, and either way, you’ll find out where you stand.

Read her posture. Gauge how she reacts to your touch. Ask.

Note that this black wire will always be "hot", regardless of the switch settings. Remove about 0.25 inches (0.635 cm) of rubber/plastic insulation. Use needle-nosed pliers to form a loop in the stripped wire. Complete the connection by wrapping the loop 3/4 of the way around the screw terminal and tightening the screw to hold the loop flat against the terminal. Do not overlap the wire with itself beneath the screw terminal. Repeat this wire connection process at each switch connection. If the switches have "back-wiring slots", as well as screw terminals, avoid using the back-wiring because it may be less reliable in the long run than the screw terminals.  These two wires are the "travelers" to the 4-way switch. The third wire (the red) will not be switched at the 4-way location, but passes to the final 3-way switch. Note that a 3-conductor cable is often used for connecting 3-way and 4-way switches to each other, containing black, white and red conductors. The white conductors should be marked to identify their function as travelers (e.g., the white with a blue tape marking). Other installers prefer to use two-wire cables from each switch to the next, purely for the travelers, and to run the hot or switched hot a different route to and from the fixture. Some 3-way switches may have the "common" terminal on one side and the two "travelers" on the opposite side. Just make sure your black "hot" wire goes to the "common" terminal.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Connect the black wire coming into the switch box to the "common" terminal on the first 3-way switch. Attach the red (or red-identified white) wire coming into the switch box to the red wire going to the next switch box, and eventually all the way to the final 3-way switch. Attach the black wire and white (marked with blue) wire going out of the box to the next switch to the bottom poles of the 3-way switch.


Note that you can wear the loose ends of the scarf over your jacket or tucked inside your jacket. The former is more fashion-conscious, while the latter is warmer. This style will keep your neck very warm while also giving you a classy look. Drape the scarf over your forearm and fold it in half lengthwise. Use a scarf that is long and rectangular, as a shorter scarf will not have enough fabric for a Parisian knot. Use your arm to fold the scarf in half in order to create a precisely halved scarf. This type of knot has also been called the European Knot, European Loop, Loop Pull, and Slipknot. Hang the folded scarf off the back of your neck, bringing the loose ends and looped end across your chest. Allow the looped end to sit on your shoulder about chest high. This draping effect should mimic the classic drape style, except for the fact that the scarf is folded in half. Pull the loose end to make a tighter knot, but be careful not to pull too hard. Position the knot in front of your neck and wear the scarf under a coat. Only the loose ends should hang down in front of your chest. Tie the knot tightly around your neck for more warmth. Loosen the knot if you get too warm. Straighten out any twists in the loose ends of the scarf so that the ends lie flat against your chest so that it does not look bulky under your coat. A loose knot creates a more casual, laid back style than a tighter knot will.

Note the expiration date on each. They usually have to be used within 10 days to 3 months of the day they print out. You can list the stores at which you most commonly shop and receive information about catalinas that they are currently printing. Extreme couponers leave comments in the forum letting you know what deals are currently out there in the form of catalinas. For instance, if you receive a catalina for $1 off 3 jars of applesauce, try this trick:  Come back into the store and buy more applesauce. Use the catalina at the cash register. If you're lucky, another catalina will be given to you after your transaction. Go back for more applesauce as long as the catalinas keep printing. You can usually get away with a maximum of 3 transactions per store. For instance, if you know that your grocery store has 4 locations close to your home, then visit all 4 locations. Use the catalinas to stock up on your favorite items. Be aware that not every location will print the same catalinas, but if the stores are close-by, it's worth exploring. If you receive in-store coupons for $5 off a $30 purchase, then save the catalinas for when you need to purchase expensive items, like meat or seafood. Then, use as many as you can in 1 transaction to save money on these items. If a store is willing to accept competitor coupons, then you can get the same deals in a different store instead of waiting on your preferred store to run a sale. Go to a coupon forum yourself and let your fellow extreme couponers know what catalinas you found. If you are generous with your tips, then your fellow couponers will reciprocate.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Collect catalinas after every transaction. Register on a website like Coupon Network. Check forum comments on sites like Hot Coupon World, Slick Deals or Pinching Your Pennies. Roll your catalinas. Go to multiple locations of your favorite store. Stack your catalinas. Bring your catalinas to a competitor. Share the wealth.


Note the source in parentheses right after a direct quotation, paraphrased text, or reference to another author’s ideas. This quick citation gives the reader enough information to find the source's full entry on your works cited page. Place the parenthetical citation immediately after the quote or reference, but before the sentence’s period. Include the author’s name and page number like this: (Smith 41).  Alternatively, you can mention the author’s name in your text, then just write the page number in parentheses. For example: “Smith argues that the painting is the artist’s most successful abstract work (52).” If you’ve cited sources by multiple authors with the same last name, include their first initials in your in-text citations, like this: (A. Smith 24). Use a hyphen if you’re citing a page range: (Smith 25-26). Write “and” in between the last names, then specify the page number: (Doe and Smith 98). You can also mention the authors in your text, then just write the page number in parentheses. For a book with 3 or more authors, write the first author’s last name, include a comma, and add “et al.” The in-text citation would look like this: (Smith, et al. 61). To specify the exact work you’re citing, write the author’s last name, a comma, the first few words of the source’s title, and the page number. If, for instance, your works cited page includes multiple books by Fyodor Dostoevsky, an in-text citation would be: (Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov, 232). If you’ve cited multiple works by the same author and don’t include titles in your in-text citations, your reader won’t know which source you’re referencing. Since parenthetical citations and works cited entries work together, you need to include both when you cite your sources. While an in-text citation is usually just a quick mention of an author and page number, a works cited entry lists a source's author, title, publisher, and date of publication. The in-text citation gives your reader enough information to look up the source’s full entry on your...

Note which hand you are holding the phone with and the ear you are holding it to. This is probably the dominant side of your body. It may not be the same as your dominant side for handwriting, but for the remainder of this article it will be described as your "dominant side." Hopefully, you are doing this for the last time ever! Unplug the cord from the phone and let the handset rest or your desk or the on the floor. Then firmly take hold of the cord between your first fingers and thumb. Pull the cord along, running your fingers down it as you go and pulling through the tangles along the way.  For example, if your left side is the side you use when answering the phone, put the phone on the left side of your desk. The tangles occur when the handset of the phone is pulled or twisted around into position that are the opposite direction of the twists already in the chord. While this can happen from either side, it is most common when you pick the phone up with one hand, switch to the other, and then hang up with the hand that began farthest from the phone.

Pick up the phone and hold it to your ear as you normally would. Untangle the cord. Plug the handset back into the phone and replace it onto the cradle. Reposition the phone on your desk for use on your dominant side.

Nothing can turn away a potential buyer like the knowledge that they will have to sink $2,000 into new plumbing when they move in. Address the basics of your house, (drafty windows, leaks, rusty rain gutters, etc.) or any expensive renovations you make will go unnoticed. The kitchen is the most important room in the house when it comes to home value. This is the room most buyers focus on, and you can expect to get up to 85% of your remodeling costs back when the house sells.  A fresh coat of paint that hides splash marks can cheaply update a kitchen. Find or buy a place to tuck away your dishes and cookbooks to make your kitchen look clean and spacious This is a very high-value fix, especially if done with updated appliances. Begin in the kitchen before updating the bathroom or bedrooms. New cabinets can completely transform a room for the better, giving the appearance that the whole room had a makeover. For a cheaper fix, hire a resurfacing company to clean and stain your old cabinets, making them look like they just came from the hardware store. Marble or granite counters are expensive but tend to last longer, remaining beautiful with age. The number of square feet in your house is a major indicator of your home’s worth. But you can create the illusion of more space by eliminating clutter as well. Homeowners like big, wide-open floor plans because they can imagine how their own stuff will fill the house when they move in.  Knock down inessential walls. Remove the island in the middle of the kitchen to open up the house. Install swinging French doors to allow airflow between rooms like the kitchen and dining room. Adding a screen-in porch is an expensive undertaking, but it might not actually help your house’s value in the long run because it cannot be counted as part of your square footage. Finishing the basement, however, can reap rewards when it is time for resale.  If you have the money, consider adding additional rooms to your house. Larger houses, without fail, sell for more money. Additions, however,...

Perform any necessary maintenance and repairs. Spend money on your kitchen before any other room. Install matching cabinets and countertops. Knock out walls or remove large fixtures to make your house more open. Know that only insulated closed rooms add to your square footage.


Nothing is more important than a suit for business, and while it doesn't have to be costly, it should look smart.  Opt for navy or grey colored suits, as black suits can be associated with funerals. Always get your suit tailored by a professional tailor, as this will ensure the suit fits properly and conforms to your body, which in turn makes it look more professional. A proper fit is the most important aspect of purchasing a suit. Although most people have cell phones, making sure your phone is professional looking is key.  Ensure your phone is in black or silver, and avoid any flashy or colorful cell phone cases. Avoid cellphone tones that are loud or potentially annoying. Loud rock music might be great for Saturday night, but not so good in your client's waiting room. The analog watch, while somewhat obsolete due to the prominence of cell-phones, is still an important accessory and status symbol.  Watches with strong brand names like Rolex, Omega, and Cartier project an image of affluence, culture, sophistication, and refined taste. If you cannot afford a watch in the price range of the above brands, shop around for more affordable watches that match your suit. Try brands like Timex, Seiko, and Hamilton for classic and well-built watches. Websites like overstock.com have a wide selection of affordable watches that look elegant and professional. A good pair of shoes compliments your suit, and wearing old or worn shoes can detract from your overall appearance.  Regularly polish your shoes and do not wear them in harsh outdoor conditions to ensure they maintain a professional look. Make sure your shoes match your suit. Generally, you can never go wrong with black shoes, but dark brown or walnut colored shoes can be an elegant combination with a navy suit.  Make sure that your belt matches your shoes. The color doesn't have to be an exact match, but match them as closely as possible. Always wear black with black and brown with brown. A briefcase is a timeless accessory, and like a good analog watch, is a...

Nothing spells death for a potential romance like getting put in the friend-zone. Sure, you want to be the cool girl who he can talk to and have a laugh with, but you don't want to become like "one of the guys." Show off your feminine side a little and make it clear, through words and body language, that you want to be more than friends. Letting him know that you're interested is perfectly fine, but don't take it to an extreme level. Showing up wherever he goes, hanging on his every word and bombarding him with calls and text messages is not the way to go. Maintain an air of mystery and always leave him wanting more. Never try to be someone you're not, just to get a guy's attention. You won't be able to keep it up, and if the girl he goes on his third date with is completely different from the girl he asked out, he'll be more than a little confused. If he doesn't like the real you, then he's not worth your attention anyway. Some guys are just as afraid of being rejected or getting their feelings hurt as girls are. Give the guy some time to build up his courage. Let him get to know you and see what a great person you are, he'll soon find his way. Maybe you're afraid that you misread the signs or that he'll change his mind once he gets to know you better. Try not to think this way. If you get the feeling that he likes you, then chances are you're right. Be positive - this could be the start of something beautiful!

Don't get friend-zoned. Don't be obsessive. Don't be fake. Be patient. Don't be afraid of rejection.


Nothing will distract you and keep you unfocused more than checking your telephone for messages every two minutes. Texts, emails, Facebook updates and other little messages will be just as compelling an hour from now.  When you're with friends or family, put your phone on silent and keep it tucked away somewhere. Better yet, keep it in the car. Don't look at it. Make a rule at your next get together that the first person to check their phone picks up the tab. Stay focused on your phone and have a simple evening. Increasingly, people are experiencing a phenomenon known as FOMO: the fear of missing out. What if you don't get that status update before everyone else? What if someone beats you to a witty comment stream message? What if your crush texts and you can't respond right away? Don't let "convenient" technology create complicated stress in your life. Be willing to miss out momentarily to enjoy the moment you're experiencing in the real world. Other people's advice about living can often be a source of distress. Simplify by giving up the idea of perfection. Be confident that you're a good partner, a good parent, and a good person. Trust yourself more and do what comes naturally. For many people, having a little guide through the day makes it a whole lot simpler. Come up with a manageable to-do list and stick to it as closely as possible. What do you hope to accomplish by the end of the day? By the end of the week?  For some people, it might even be helpful to come up with more substantial lists of long-term goals and plans, to help prioritize accomplishments. Simplify your long-term career and life prospects by outlining where you'd like to be in your job in five years, or where you'd like to be living. What do you need to do now to get there? Record your day if you're not sure where the hours are disappearing to. Keeping a calendar can also simplify your day because you don't have to rack your brains to remember everything continuously. Celebrate each accomplishment of the day. Working from a to-do list...

Notice if your dog scratches or licks a particular spot constantly. This is usually a sign that he is suffering from some sort of skin irritation. Examine more closely the problem area you have identified. Hot spots can be difficult to see with the naked eye because they tend to spread under the cover of the dog's fur. Usually by the time you notice them, hot spots are well established and growing rapidly. Hot spots are red, moist, hot and irritated rashes. Other identifiers of hot spots include discharge and an unpleasant odor.  Hot spots are most commonly found on a dog's head, hip or chest area. Dogs with long hair and thick coats are most commonly affected. Dogs who are not groomed regularly and have matted coats are also prone to developing hot spots, as are dogs who swim or are frequently in the rain.  Dogs with hip dysplasia or anal sac disease are also more likely to suffer from hot spots because they tend to lick the skin on their hind end. If you do identify a hot spot, take some time to carefully check the rest of the dog’s skin. Part the fur in the area surrounding the hot spot and examine for any other moist or reddened areas. All spots need to be treated immediately and, if possible, you should try to ascertain the underlying cause of the hot spot (flea bite, scratch, allergy, etc.). If this is your dog's first hot spot, seeing a vet is crucial. Your vet can give you an accurate diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Watch your dog. Part and inspect your dog's fur. Identify that you are dealing with a hot spot. Check areas surrounding the hot spot. Contact your vet.


Notice that it is you who is starting a dialogue with your brother in most of the above scenarios. You want to solve the problem instead of making it worse, so communicating your needs and feelings with words is important.  Try talking to your brother when you are both in a good mood, not when you are angry at each other.  Don’t promise your brother something if you can’t follow through. If you set aside time to hang out, for instance, be sure that you do not schedule anything else during that time. Tell your brother the truth. He will know if you are being dishonest and will resent you for it. Don’t yell or raise your voice. Even if you are frustrated, you will only make the situation worse if you start screaming, and your parents most likely do not want to hear you arguing. If your brother says something to push your buttons, do not respond immediately. Take a few deep breaths or walk away. Physical distance, however, will not resolve your problem, but it might give you some time to cool down. Don’t talk down to your little brother. He may be younger, but he’s usually not incapable of understanding when you’re being rude. Don’t speak too slowly or use sarcasm. Pretend he is a friend of yours. How would you speak to a friend if they were doing something that bothered you? No matter what, do not engage in violence. Do not hit, push, pinch, or bite your brother. Control your temper by sitting on your hands if you have to.  If your brother is violent towards you, do not hit back. Reflect on the moments when your brother has shown aggression toward you. Was it in response to something you said or did? In the future, try to avoid creating a situation where your brother might respond with violence. For instance, maybe your brother always hits you when you ignore him. Instead of ignoring him when he is talking to you or asking for help, acknowledge that he has spoken. If he is interrupting you, respond to him, but explain that you are busy now and that you can help him a little later. Your brother is probably...

Notice that the bottom of the oval looks like an upside down trapezoid while the top of the oval shape is rounded. The top line MUST intersect the midway point of the oval shape. The lowest line should be placed at the bottom of the chin. After drawing the top and bottom lines, add two EVENLY SPACED lines between the top and bottom line. At the end of step two, you should have THREE evenly spaced segments between the top and bottom lines (refer to the picture). The top four map out the corners of Kobe's eyes, while the bottom two map out the corners of his mouth. Lets look at their relationship. Notice that these dots are leaning towards the right side of the oval. This is due to the fact that Kobe's head is slightly turned. Also, take a second to notice the distance in between the two eyes is equal to one eye length. Finally, notice that the middle part of the space designated for each eye, will line up with the outer corners of the mouth. Now, draw in the six dots. ...The upper eyelid as a rainbow shape and the bottom lid is close to a straight line. Notice that the iris is partially blocked by the upper eyelid. Encapsulate the eye in the oval shape that I just added.  In this step, make the bottom of the nose by drawing three connected, upside down arches. Do not worry about the bridge of the nose yet. After you make the bottom of the nose, draw the shape for the upper lip...... The upper lip looks like a squished McDonald's logo (picture the golden arches squished). Add the bottom lip. It is similar to a banana shape. Notice that the bottom lip is thicker than the top lip. Now that we have the eyes and part of the mouth done, take a second to notice the perfect square that is formed when you connect the points from the middle of the eye and the corners of the mouth. Make adjustments if you do not have this perfect square. Like the bottom lip, these shapes are very similar to banana shapes. They will help us shade the nose later.  Now add in the ears. Due to the fact that Kobe's head is turned; it appears...

Notice that this step comes after apologizing. Not only do you need to forgive a friend that you hope to continue having a relationship with, you need to forgive them even if they don’t apologize. If you and a friend are not fully able to resolve an issue, you still may be able to have an amicable friendship.  Know that there are learning and growing opportunities for both individuals in every friendship. Respecting one another can help you both find the positive in the relationship you had before and the relationship you will have moving forward. If you commit to getting together, immediately act on it by making specific plans. Talk together about what days or evenings you have free in the coming week and at least settle on a day and time to meet.    If the day comes and you’re not as free as you’d hoped, compromise.  Avoid rescheduling if possible; Instead of lunch, meet for coffee. If you’re unable to meet up, make specific plans again.  If your friend invites you out, go!  There is no quicker way to let a friendship fall by the wayside than continually turning down opportunities to spend time together. Know that even when a friendship is rekindled, especially after a long period of time, it will likely not feel exactly as it had before. Even if it’s harder to share your lives with one another, you can still value each other’s friendship – you may just have to accept the fact that you won’t get as much time together as you’d like. Be aware that your hopes or expectations for reconnecting with a friend may be different than their expectations, even if they’re willing to meet.  If you meet, but a rekindling of your friendship seems unlikely, leave with the knowledge that you both still respect each other enough to reach out to one another again in the future. In the meantime, don’t allow yourself to be stressed about a situation that is out of your control. Nor will every friendship stay the same. For that matter, no friendship will ever be perfect. More importantly, the context of your relationships with...

Forgive. Follow through on plans. Give your friends space. Consider whether friendship is still in the cards. Know that not every friendship is the same.


Notice the petal color of the flowers for an easy way to differentiate it from other wildflowers. For instance, is the flower white? Bluish purple? Red? Other common wildflower colors include pink, yellow, orange, maroon, and green.  For example, the longleaf aster has white flowers with a yellow center.  The silvery lupine has purple flowers and a hairy legume pod in a cone-like shape. A legume pod is the part of the plant that houses the seeds. When you find a wildflower, notice how many petals it has overall, based on the shape of the plant. Does it have 3 evenly-spaced petals or more than 6 radial petals? Each flower type has its own distinct petal composition, so this is an effective way to differentiate between wildflowers. For example, lily species commonly have 6 evenly-spaced petals. Leaves can be absent, alternating, basal, opposite, or whorled. The leaf shape is also important, as they can be heart/round shaped, linear, wider near the base, wider near the middle, or wider near the tip. Examine the stem and leaves of the wildflower you find to help you identify it.  For example, wild strawberry plants usually have small, compact leaves with jagged edges. The leaves form a 3-leaf cluster. If the plant has no leaves, it has an absent leaf structure. Opposite leaves refer to the leaf pattern where there are 2 leaves on opposite sides of the stem. Basal leaves are attached to the stem in pairs or clusters. Whorled leaves radiate around the stem in a clustered, multi-leaf pattern. Your location has a lot to do with what wildflowers are available in your area. Some flowers only grow in certain areas, and some flowers only bloom during certain times of the year. There are some common flowers found in a variety of climates, such as different types of lilies.  You can find wildflowers including coneflowers, poppies, sage, and common marigold across the globe. For instance, Mount Diablo buckwheat is a pink flower only found in California. Until 2005, it was considered extinct.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Look at the overall color of the flower. Count the number of petals if the flower has them. Take note of the shape, size, and arrangement of the leaves. Consider the location, climate, and season when you find the flowers.

Communication with others will improve as your levels of compassion and empathy increase for yourself and for others.  You become more cognizant of the flow of energy in the environment, in your mind, and through the eyes of others. Evidence from several clinical and neurobiological studies demonstrate the impact that meditation has on influencing brain chemical activities that...

Now is a good time to make sure the floor under your carpet is clean. Vacuum or sweep up any debris in the area, and then go over it with a mop. Let it dry at least an hour before continuing, as you don't want water under your carpet. If you are putting carpet on a hardwood floor where you didn't need to remove carpet, you'll just need to do this step. To buy enough padding and carpet, you need to know the square footage (meterage) of your room. Start by measuring your room on the longest side and writing the number down. Do the same going the other direction and write that number down.  For instance, your room may be 13 by 10 feet (4.0 by 3.0 m) If your room isn't perfectly rectangular, divide it into rectangles and measure the length and width of each one. Alternatively, force the room to be roughly rectangular and add a bit extra to your estimate. For example, if one wall has a small part that dips out, measure the 2 walls and then increase your estimate by 1 foot (0.30 m) on that wall. To get the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length (1 side) by the width (the other side). You do the same with your room measurements, and that gives you the square footage of the room. For example, if your room was 13 by 10 feet (4.0 by 3.0 m), then you multiply 13 by 10 to get 130 square feet (12 m2). You're going to make mistakes when putting in the carpet. Plus, you may have issues with getting cut pieces to fit in the areas you have left to cover after the main pieces are down. It's always better to have more than you need than to run back to the store because you ran out of padding or carpet. When buying these supplies, they'll be listed in square feet or meters. Therefore, all you need to do is compare the square footage or meterage you found with what's being offered in the store. If you're using existing tack strip, just measure what you removed because it was damaged. If you're not using existing tack strip, just use your length and width measurements multiplied by 2, plus 10%. The tack strip will need to go...

Vacuum and mop the floor clean. Measure the length and width of your room. Multiply length times width to get the square footage. Add 10-20% to your estimate. Buy carpet and padding based on your area measurements. Determine how much tack strip you'll need.


Now is not the time to experiment with Cleopatra eyeliner or wild lip colors. Choose a soft brown or navy blue eyeliner and a complementary eye shadow.  Use a touch of lipstick in soft shades of pink or red. Your makeup might run or smudge a little bit if you start to sweat. Be prepared to touch it up when you arrive at your interview site. Short haircuts should get a fresh trim no more than a week before the interview. Longer hair may not need to be trimmed, although if you have split or rough-looking ends, these should be trimmed off to clean up your hair. When worn down, long hair can make you feel and look very hot. It can cling to your face and neck, adding to the heat you may already be feeling. Choose a hairdo that is simple, secure and cool. Avoid an elaborate hairdo that is likely to result in stray pieces that stick to your neck and face in the heat. When your body temperature rises and you start to sweat, your perfume can become stronger. If you already are wearing strong perfume or cologne, it can quickly become overpowering in the summer heat. A quick dab of perfume on your wrists and behind your ears is likely all you’ll need. Neatly clip and file your fingernails to ensure they look tidy. You don’t need to get a manicure, although it might be a nice treat to prepare yourself for your interview. Your nail polish shouldn’t be the first thing someone notices about you. Refrain from wild colors or prints on your fingernails.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Wear subtle makeup. Get your hair trimmed. Wear long hair away from your face and neck. Go light on the perfume. Trim your fingernails. Wear neutral or subtle nail polish, or none at all.


Now is the time to examine your valise or duffel bag and see if it meets your spatial demands. For a short weekend jaunt, you might not need much more than a rucksack, provided you’re a light packer. If you’re going to be gone for a week or longer, however, go with a travel suitcase or even an old-fashioned steamer trunk.  You should have your travel bags picked out and ready to go long before you begin packing. Be careful not to cram your suitcase so full of stuff that it’s hard to lug around. Be prepared to leave non-essential items behind. You’re not moving in—packing a different outfit for every day or half a dozen pairs of shoes is unnecessary. After you get together everything you’d like to bring, pare it down to whatever will fit comfortably in your suitcase, and leave room for an item or two you’ll inevitably forget until the last minute. Your cruise ship will be able to supply soap, shampoo, toothpaste and other toiletries, so if you’re concerned about your luggage capacity, these can be left behind. Yes, it’s a hassle, but neatly folding and arranging your clothing items will be a big help when it comes to freeing up space. Place the burliest apparel, like trousers and sweaters, on the bottom of the suitcase and stack smaller, lighter garments (socks, underwear, etc.) on top. Clumsily shoving everything into the corners of your suitcase is a good way to run out of room fast.  You can also try rolling things like t-shirts and shorts to get them down to a smaller surface area. Fair warning, though—this method doesn't work well for all types of clothing and is prone to causing creasing.  Hang clothing that you want to keep clean and wrinkle-free. The zipper pockets on your luggage are there for a reason. Store smaller essentials, like your toiletries, paper goods and phone charger, in these slots where they won’t take up space on the inside of your suitcase. That leaves the biggest section open for the biggest belongings.  Making use of the pockets also keeps you from having to unzip and dig through...

Make sure you have a big enough suitcase. Only bring what you can’t go without. Fold your clothes. Use your storage pockets.


Now is the time to take the first step. Put the plan into action. Consult with people who can help you, find resources, and begin to work toward your long-term goal. It is all up to you now.  Seek expert help. For instance, if you’re interested in getting in shape, talk to a personal trainer. If your goal is financial, talk to a financial adviser. Inform yourself and utilize resources. You can teach yourself a lot about investment, for example, through personal research or by taking a financial planning course. Most importantly, be proactive. Your goals will not come true through wishful thinking. Stay focused on your long-term vision. You may have to make some sacrifices on the way, and for this you will need to discipline – willpower. Willpower is the ability to resist short-term temptations in order to achieve larger goals. You practice it by going to the gym when you feel like sleeping in or by doing an extra hour of work while your favorite show is on.  Cultivate discipline. Studies show that students, for example, who exhibit more willpower generally perform better.  Avoid procrastination, as well, as you are prioritizing short-term satisfaction. Get into a routine that helps you make progress toward your desires. For example, it will be easier to be physically healthy if you stick to an exercise schedule. If your goals are financial, sticking to a budget can do the same. Develop habits that keep you on track while avoiding ones that derail your progress. For example, avoid going to the mall if you tend to make impulsive purchases. Make a habit of immediately depositing part of each paycheck so that you can meet your savings goals. As you work toward your dreams and aspirations, keep an eye on how things are going. Have you met benchmarks? Are you still following your timeline? What short-term goals have you met? Recognizing how far you have come is important to carrying out your plan and to staying motivated.  For one thing, taking stock of progress will allow you to make necessary adjustments. What if...

Now that Router 2’s all set up, it’s a good idea to give it a restart—though, for now, leave the power unplugged instead of turning it right back on. Use an Ethernet cable to connect to a LAN port on Router 1. Then connect to the first LAN port on Router 2.  Make sure you’re not plugging it into the WAN port as they look similar. When the router comes back up, it will have the IP address you configured. As long as Router 1 has Internet access, Router 2 will now also be online. Anytime you connect a computer to a new network device, it's a good idea to restart your computer. This can be done wirelessly, or by connecting Ethernet cables to unused LAN ports on either router. Router 1’s DHCP server will automatically assign each device its own IP address in the same subnet. Enjoy your expanded network!

Disconnect the power from Router 2. Connect the first router to the second router. Plug Router 2 back in and turn it on. Restart the computer that’s connected to Router 2. Connect other computers and devices.


Now that all the forms are in place and sufficiently detailed, you can go back and blend rough patches of color together if you want a smoother, slicker look to the painting. Keep plane boundaries fairly sharp, though, or the painting may start to look blurry and flat. Then step back 10 feet/3 meters from the painting and enjoy the finished product.

Now that the crack is structurally repaired, you’ll need to smooth out the rough patches. Take the sanding sponge and run it over the area you’ve covered with mud. Sand using a back-and-forth motion until the dried mud covering the former cracked area is smooth and flush with the rest of your ceiling.  Sanding sponges can be purchased at your local hardware store. If they come in a range of grits, opt for a fine-grit sanding sponge. Depending on how much dried mud you sand off, it may make quite a mess. Try to ensure that the majority falls on the plastic sheet that you’ve laid down. If you still have fabric-covered furniture in the room, consider putting drop cloths over them to avoid permanent damage. If you are trying to match a very flat surface, mix the last coat of mud a little more watery than the first 2 coats and apply it to the ceiling with a 14 or 18 inch trowel. The longer trowel will fill in the low spots making a flatter surface. The portion of ceiling that you’ve patched and sanded will need to be painted to match the rest of the ceiling. If you have some paint leftover from when you (or contractors) painted your ceiling initially, you can use this to paint over the repaired crack.  If you don’t have leftover paint, you’ll need to visit a paint shop or home-supply store to find a matching coat of paint. Larger hardware stores may stock and mix paint, also. Pick up several paint-color strips, and compare each color against your ceiling to find the closest match.  You can also bring a sample of the paint to your local home improvement center or paint store and have them match the color for you using a computer. Once you have your paint, pour about ½ cup (113 grams) into a metal painter’s tray. Roll your roller brush up and down through the paint until the entire surface of the brush is coated with paint. Then, working from one end of the patched crack to the other, use the brush to apply paint a layer of paint to your ceiling. After you’ve finished painting and the paint has dried, your ceiling...

Sand the layers of mud with a sanding sponge. Find a paint color that matches your ceiling. Paint the portion of the ceiling that you’ve sanded.


Now that you are positioned, you are ready to make the shot. Be sure to firmly drive the cue through the shot, as opposed to simply tapping the cue ball with your cue. Remember that your cue can’t rest on the snooker table as you’re shooting.  You can practice lining up your shot and starting your shooting motion if you'd like, just like a golfer lining up his putt. If you do practice the shooting motion, be sure not to touch the cue ball! It is important to hold your position and keep your balance in the seconds after the shot. Failing to follow through will make it difficult for your body to remember the motion if you succeed - and correct the motion if you fail. Keep your feet firmly planted until the target ball is in the snooker hole.    Being unable to keep your balance will point out a flaw in your stance or shot. If you aren't able to keep your balance, reevaluate your stance and shooting motion. Snooker is only mastered with practice and patience.  You may not make your shot the first few times, or the first few dozen times. Keep honing your skills. Having someone there who can point out what you do wrong will speed the learning process.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Commit to the shot. Hold your position and follow through. Don't get discouraged.


Now that you feel amazing both physically and emotionally, it's time to attract that special someone. Remember that you only get one first impression, so have a positive attitude before you meet the man in question. The first thing you can do is establish eye contact to show a man you're interested.  Hold his gaze for just the right amount of time. You don't have to stare into his eyes for hours, but looking at him for just a few seconds from across the room will show that you're interested. Be coy yet approachable. When you look at the man, try not to look too eager, but make it clear that you would be happy if he started a conversation with you. Let your facial expressions do the talking. Once the man approaches you, don't forget to smile, smile, smile! Nothing says that you're friendly and attractive like a good smile. Smile--but don't over think it. Make your smile something you approach the world with. Not only will this make your smile more natural and frequent, but you will feel happier in general. Try smiling when you're not happy - you'll find that some happiness bubbles up. You don't have to look overly-eager when you smile--just be natural. Now that your man has seen the look in your eyes, as well as your pearly whites, it's time to use your body to show him the attraction is mutual.  Carry yourself in a confident manner. Don't slouch, look at your feet, or cross your arms over your chest. Avoid nervous actions such as playing with your hair or biting your nails. Instead, face the man and keep your arms moving through gestures. This will make you seem like an open and dynamic person. Show him that you're interested. If you're feeling his love, there's no harm in leaning in to hear him talk, especially if you're in a loud or crowded place. A light touch on the arm or knee can also show him that you like what he has to offer without being too aggressive. Physically hold his attention. Make sure to maintain eye contact and to avoid looking around--or even worse, checking your phone every five...

Now that you have a clear, well-organized paper, it's time to edit it line by line to make sure your prose is concise and it contains no errors of spelling or grammar. It is easier to find errors on the printed page, so be sure to work form a hard copy. It can also help to change the font, as this tricks your brain into viewing the paper as a new document. You can find a list of common errors at http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/proofing_grammar.shtml. Watch out for wordy verbs (i.e. "has knowledge of" instead of "knows"), adverbs, unnecessary prepositional phrases, and overly inflated language (i.e. "utilize" instead of "use"). For a list of common unnecessary words, see http://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/Clear,_Concise,_and_Direct_Sentences.pdf. When drafting, writers commonly say the same thing two sentences in a row in slightly different ways as they work through ideas. Delete or combine the sentences to avoid this, as in the example below:  Original text: "Rachel Watson, the protagonist of Paula Hawkin's Girl on a Train, is a classic unreliable narrator. In particular, her inability to remember events in her own life due to alcohol-induced blackouts leaves the reader unable to rely on her version of events." Rewrite as: "Rachel Watson, the protagonist of Paula Hawkin's Girl on a Train, suffers from alcohol-induced blackouts that leave her unsure what has happened in her own life, making her a classic unreliable narrator." How you came to your conclusions does not matter. Present your ideas stripped of "I". It's already clear that the work reflects your beliefs because you put your name on it.  Don't write: "I initially thought Hamlet was only feigning madness, but then after a second reading, came to believe that he actually is mad." Instead, you might write: "Many critics take for granted that Hamlet is only feigning madness, but their analysis relies on a more modern understanding of insanity. If we take the worldview of Shakespeare's audience into account, it seems more likely that Hamlet was in...

Now that you have completed the first leg of the quest, look for the NPC named Lenphad in Elder Village. Lenphad is the Equipment NPC for this map and can be found at the top-right level of the village, just next to Echo the Alchemist. Talk to him regarding the class-advancement quest, and he will give you a set of tasks to complete. The advancement quest for Sniping Ranger has three parts but all can be done in Wally's Castle.  If you haven't unlock Wally's Castle yet, make sure you complete the Suburbs of Wally's Castle first in order for this map to be available in your dungeon selection. You must clear this dungeon with a rank B or higher; otherwise, you will have to do reruns. There is no time limit for this. They can be found on any floor of the dungeon, so make sure you have explored the entire area.  Don't forget to collect High Quality Lubricants from the Crossbow Soldiers (you will need 2), as these are quest items. If you ever got disconnected from the game while you're in the dungeon, the monster kill, including the number of quest item you collected will remain. However, your stamina will still be deducted. Mini bosses will be available in this map; killing them will give you a chance of obtaining rare items, which can be useful for your survival. Once you have completed the quest, return to the Elder Village and open your Quest Log by pressing Q. Click the first-class advancement quest and then press Complete. This will complete the quest for the class change and will automatically turn your Rena to Sniping Ranger. If ever your character didn't change \to Sniping Ranger after completing the quest, simply log off from the game and then log in again. Sometimes the server is too busy to register that your class has been updated.

Look for Lenphad. Enter Wally's Castle under Very Hard mode. Kill 12 Crossbow Soldiers while you're in Wally's Castle. Return to Elder Village.


Now that you have the shape of your mask, design its base color. You can use any medium that you wish to make your design, but paint, markers and crayons work best. You can make it a solid color or add designs such as stripes, stars, polka dots or even scars. Chalk and pastels can rub off and get into your eyes, while markers with heavy scents or fumes can irritate your eyes and nose. Once you’ve finished your base layer of color, put your additions onto your paper mask. Use white craft glue to attach them to your mask because it is water based and less likely to aggravate your skin or eyes. Craft glue is also flexible when dry, so your mask will still be able to form around your face. Be careful that your chosen decorations are not too heavy or too numerous. Too many additions will weigh down the paper and make it difficult for the mask to maintain its form. Too much added weight will also make it difficult for the mask to stay in place over your face. Before doing anything else with your mask, let it dry completely. If possible, leave it overnight. If you continue before letting the glue or paint dry, you will likely ruin your mask before you ever get to wear it.

Color your mask with markers, crayons and paint. Add glitter, jewels, feathers or any other decoration you have available. Set your mask aside so it can dry completely.


Now that you have water and some other beverage to hydrate you and satisfy some of what soda gave you, hopefully you will be able to stop drinking soda. It might be difficult at first, but by working up to it slowly, your body has gotten used to progressively lower levels of soda. Just because soda is no longer as central to your diet doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy it occasionally. One serving of soda a week may be an acceptable amount. Don’t let yourself fall back into bad habits because you’re tired or wanting a sugar fix. If you are tempted by the vending machine at work, bring your own beverages. Keep water as your main beverage -- don’t let yourself be sucked into craving your new beverage choice (coffee, tea, flavored water). Write down your reasons and keep them somewhere that you can look at regularly, such as on your refrigerator or on your phone lock-screen. When you feel a craving come on, look at your list and think about how you'll feel afterward.  Remind yourself of the ways that soda can impact your health. Sugary sodas increase the risk for obesity, type II diabetes, osteoporosis, kidney stones,  and heart disease.  Sugary drinks are bad for your teeth. Soda is also expensive.

Try cutting soda out completely. Treat yourself sometimes. Stay committed. Make a list of the reasons you want to quit drinking soda.

Now that you have your attention squarely in the present, you may find yourself observing things you may not have noticed before.  An important part of practicing being mindful is having the ability to observe what goes on around you without associating judgement to it.  Try to observe your surroundings objectively.  Don’t place blame or look down on others for their actions, instead empathize with their situation. By focusing on staying in the present moment, it becomes easier not to judge others, as judgement tends to come from a prediction of how one’s behavior will affect the future. Mindfulness is not always happiness.  Being mindful means being willing to let go of the past, regardless of the positive or negative emotions associated with it.  If you are truly in the present, you can appreciate the positive moments in your life without worrying that they will end. It is more difficult to experience the positive moments in your present if you are comparing them to those that may have come before it. Mindfulness is about existing in the present and letting go of judgements, fears, regrets and expectations.  That does not, however, mean that you should be stoic or without emotion.  Instead, embrace your emotions, but allow them to pass like the weather.  You can’t control the weather, nor can you control how things make you feel.  Negative emotions are like thunderstorms, they may come when you least expect or would prefer, but ruminating over them won’t make them pass by any sooner. As positive and negative emotions rise and fade away, let them pass.  Do not allow yourself to cling to emotions by letting your mind drift into the past or future. Mindfulness requires being in the present without judgement, but understand that not all people choose to pursue such a method of thinking.  You will encounter people that are caught up in negativity, or who are experiencing a very difficult time.  Again, letting go of the past and future does not equate to detachment.  Practice empathy for others.  Treat others...

Let go of judgements and negative emotions. Don’t cling to good emotions either. Treat your feelings like the weather. Treat others with kindness and compassion.


Now that you have your character template, work on keeping their story compelling as the plot moves forward. Your character should strive for something over the course of the story. Consider what the character wants, and how they try to achieve it. To make it even more interesting, make the stakes high.  Make it clear what the consequences of failure would be. For example, Tara is offered a morally questionable deal that would give her a lot of money. She balks initially, but then learns that her family is in financial trouble and may lose their house—the home that her dead mother raised her in. Tara needs money, or she will lose her childhood home forever. This goal pushes her to do things she otherwise wouldn't. They shouldn't just react to whatever is around them: they should try to take control of situations, strive towards their goals, and push the plot forward.  For example, say your character is in a convenience store when it is robbed. A passive character would wait for the robbers to leave or the police to come. A proactive one might help others hide or leave, or even try to stop the robbers. This makes for a more interesting story. Make your character work for what they want. Have their flaws (impulsivity, indecisiveness, failure to communicate, etc.) work against them. Readers like to see characters being pushed hard, and how those characters react to difficult situations. Make them confront their demons. Make them wonder if they'll fail. Depending on the character's role in the story, you may decide to have the character learn something. You need to (1) establish the character's flaw, (2) show the flaw hurting the character, and (3) show the character learning to move beyond the flaw. This shows character growth. Character arcs make a compelling part of a story. Example: Rayquan was bullied as a child, and learned to run and hide from the bullies. So he hides from problems, and he denies that they need to do anything about the villain in the story. Then the villain kidnaps his brother. Rayquan...

Now that you have your thesis statement and your outline, focus on composing content for each part of the essay. Try to spend two to three minutes on each body paragraph. Then, take three minutes on your conclusion paragraph and go back to your introduction. Spend the last three minutes revising your introduction so it matches the tone and perspective of the rest of your essay. There are several possible hooks you can use in your essay to draw your reader in.  An interesting or surprising example: This could be a personal experience or a key moment in the life of the historical figure you are discussing in your essay. For example, you may discuss Anthony’s childhood as a Quaker and her later adoption of more casual dress and growing interest in social reform at the age of 26.  A provocative quotation: This could be from a source you used for your essay or one that feels relevant to your topic. For example, you may use a well known quote from Anthony, such as: “Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.”  A vivid anecdote: An anecdote is a very short story that carries moral or symbolic weight. Think of an anecdote that might be a poetic or powerful way to start your essay. A thought provoking question: create a question that will get your reader thinking and engaged in your topic. For example: “Did you ever wonder how women received the right to vote in the United States?” Focus on fleshing out each paragraph with at least one example of your main point. Sign-post each paragraph by beginning with a strong argumentative point that links to a supporting example of your main point. If you use an essay on Susan B. Anthony as an example:  Body paragraph 1: You may start by discussing...

Now that you know all of the parts of the song, you just need to stitch them together. For the intro, you'll play: Em7-G-Dsus4-A7sus4 (4X) The verse progression isn't really different than the intro besides the one Cadd9, but for our purposes the verse starts with the first "Today was gonna be the day..." The first two verses come right in a row, but remember that only the first verse gets the Cadd9. In other words, you'll play:  Em7-G-Dsus4-A7sus4 Em7-G-Dsus4-A7sus4 Em7-G-Dsus4-A7sus4  Cadd9-G-Dsus4-A7sus4 Em7-G-Dsus4-A7sus4 (4X) This is fairly straight forward — you just need to play each part once. In other words, play:  Cadd9-Dsus4-Em7-Em7 (2X) Cadd9-Dsus4-G5-G5/F# -G5/E G5-A7sus4-A7sus4-A7sus4 Cadd9-Em7-G-Em7 (4X) A7sus4 (right before third verse) Here, you're only playing one verse, but you're playing two choruses. In other words, play:  Em7-G-Dsus4-A7sus4 (4X) Cadd9-Dsus4-Em7-Em7 (2X) Cadd9-Dsus4-G5-G5/F# -G5/E G5-A7sus4-A7sus4-A7sus4 Cadd9-Em7-G-Em7 (8X) After the third chorus, the singing stops, but the instruments keep playing the Cadd9-Em7-G-Em7 four more times. If you're playing live, make sure everyone in your band knows when to stop! If you stretch this section out, it makes a good place to take a solo since the singer isn't singing anymore.

Play the intro progression four times. Play the first verse, then the second verse. Play the bridge, then the chorus. Play the third verse, then the bridge, then the chorus (twice). End by repeating the chorus progression.


Now that you know how much you have left over, you can decide how much to pay yourself. Experts recommend differing amounts. In the famous personal finance book The Wealthy Barber, the author David Chilton recommends paying yourself 10% of your net or take-home income. Other experts recommend anywhere between 1% and 5%.. The best solution is to pay yourself as much as you can based on your leftover amount each month. For example, if you have $600 left over at the end of the month, and your income is $2,000, you would be able to save up to 30% of your income. (You may only want to put 20% of that in savings, leaving yourself a little wiggle room for unexpected treats or expenses.) Once you know how much you can possibly pay yourself, try to set a goal for a savings amount. For example, your goal may be retirement, education savings, or a house down-payment. Determine the cost of your goal, and divide that by the amount you can pay yourself monthly to determine how long it will take to attain in months.  For example, you may want to save for a $50,000 home down payment. If you have $600 left over every month and choose to save $300 of that, it would take you a very long 13 years to save $50,000. In that case, you could boost your savings amount to $600 to drop the time in half (since you have $600 left over). Keep in mind that if you invest your money in a high interest savings account, or in other types of investments, the return you get would further shorten your time. To figure out how fast your saving amount will grow at a certain rate of return (say 2% per year), go online and search "Compound Interest Calculator." This account should be only for a specified goal, usually saving or investing. If possible, choose an account with a higher interest rate — usually these types of accounts limit how often you can withdraw money, which is a good thing because you're not going to be pulling money out of it, anyway.  Consider opening a high interest savings account. Many institutions offer these, and they typically...

Decide how much to pay yourself. Set a savings goal. Create an account that is separate from all your other accounts. Put that money into the account as soon as it is available. Leave the money alone.


Now that you've done all this work to clean an entire room, don't leave dust bunnies lurking under your furniture. If you can, slide the furniture out of the way and vacuum or sweep underneath it. If not, use an extension arm on your vacuum and clean as far underneath each piece as you're able. It may help to have another person available if you have a lot of heavy furniture. Chances are, dust will have settled along the trim at the bottom of your walls. To remove that dust, go over the baseboards with a damp microfiber cloth, working all the way around the room. If the baseboards are really dirty, spray a cloth with an all-purpose cleaner and wipe them down with that. Even if you've already shaken out the rugs, there may still be dust embedded deep in the fibers. Also, any carpets in the room will need to be vacuumed thoroughly to remove any dust that fell while you were cleaning. You can sweep your carpets and rugs if you don't have a vacuum, but this will not be as effective at removing dust. To avoid stirring dust back into the air, gently go over the floors with a broom. Then, mop the floors to pick up any dust that's been left behind. As the name suggests, a dust mop is best for this task, since there's more surface area to trap dust. However, you can use any mop that you have available. Now that you've cleaned your room from top to bottom, the only thing left to do is to put everything back in order. Move any furniture back into its place, replace your rugs, curtains, and other linens, and place small objects back onto their shelves. Continue this process for each room in your home. Then, sit back and enjoy your dust-free environment!

Move the furniture and appliances and clean underneath them. Wipe down the baseboards. Clean carpets and rugs with a vacuum. Sweep and mop hard floors. Return everything to its place.


Now that you've finished writing your letter, you can decorate it however you'd like! You might want to draw some Christmas trees, a reindeer, or a snowman. You can even draw a portrait of Santa himself! Santa is sure to get a kick out of that.  Use crayons, markers, colored pencils, and pens to draw all sorts of Christmas pictures. If you make a few mistakes, don't worry. Santa loves little imperfections. However, if you really want to start over, you can. If you want, you can draw a border around the edges of your letter. Your border can be anything you want! You can do simple line border or draw a patterned border made of stars or Christmas trees. Ask your parents for an envelope, and slide your letter inside. On the front of the envelope, write “Santa Claus, North Pole” in big, clear letters. That way, the postman will know where to send the letter. Seal the envelope when you're done. Feel free to decorate the envelope, too! They'll know how to get it to Santa. Soon, your letter will be on its way to the North Pole! Santa will be impressed by all the work you put into writing it. It might be cool to ask your parents to show you the North Pole on a map so you can see where your letter is going. It looks cold there, doesn't it?

Draw pictures on your letter. Add a border. Address the envelope. Give the letter to your parents to send.


Now that you've finished your race and pushed yourself to the limit, your heart rate should be accelerated and your breathing labored. You'll need to take some time to get your wind back. Give yourself a few minutes and walk a lap to calm your body. Bending at the waist is a common response after an all-out, pell-mell race, but this can lead to feelings of nausea and can cause vomiting. Additionally, laying down or assuming a sitting/collapsed body position can cause lactic acid to pool in your muscles, which will create more muscular soreness later. Now that you're feeling a little less haggard, you should take a light jog for a lap minimum, though you might want take a few laps for the best results. Your cool down jog should be comparable to your warm up. Both your warm up and cool down are intended to gradually prepare for physical activity or relax them afterwards. This helps prevent the damage sometimes caused by abrupt and extreme changes in activity. Some individuals sweat more than others, but after you've heated up for the race, run the race, and cooled down, it's likely you've been sweating pretty consistently for at least 20 minutes. This is a considerable amount of lost moisture that you'll need to replace. Once you feel well enough, you should drink some warm water to rehydrate.  Warm water is gentler on your system and won't cause your stomach to spasm or clench uncomfortably. These sensations in your stomach can lead to nausea or vomiting if you're not careful. Your body will also have lost electrolytes, which are important minerals your body needs to function. The primary electrolytes you'll need to be concerned with replenishing are sodium (salt) and potassium. Sodium replacement tablets are an excellent resource for serious runners, but regular salt can also be dissolved in water, salty snacks consumed, or raw salt eaten to restore your body's sodium levels. Potassium can be restored through eating certain potassium rich foods, like bananas, avocadoes, and beans. Your body has limbered up...

Catch your breath. Keep on your feet and in good posture. Jog a cool down lap. Hydrate to replenish your fluids. Stretch out moderately.


Now that you've found the perfect spot and time, take a moment just to look the person in the eye. Gazing into someone's eyes can be quite intimate, as most people don't spend more than a few seconds looking into someone else's eyes. Hold the person's gaze as you contemplate kissing them. Leaning in indicates you want to get more intimate. When the right moment comes, lean in closer. Most likely, the person will lean in towards you, too. If the person doesn't want the same thing, they'll likely lean back. Consent is important, even when you're trying to kiss someone. Consent just means you have the person's permission to do something like kiss, hold hands, or something even more intimate. Asking if you can kiss someone doesn't need to break the moment. Rather, it shows you respect the person enough to ask. You could say, "We've had a great night. Do you mind if I kiss you?" This dialogue is particularly important when someone is shy. Once you get a "yes," you can move in for the kiss. Bring your face in closer, but let the other person come part way. Even if they said yes, it's good to let them make part of the move, so you know for sure they want it. You'll both need to tilt a bit so you don't bump noses, then move on with the kissing part. It helps to have your lips slightly parted and soft. If you're too rigid, it won't be a great kiss. That is, the person may like you a lot and may even want to kiss you, even if they turn away. However, the person may not be ready to kiss you yet, so if you're turned away, don't take it too hard, especially if the person seems to want to go on another date.

Look the person in the eye. Lean in closer. Ask if you can kiss them. Move in for the kiss. Remember rejection may not be about you.


Now that you've fully assembled the hull and deck of the boat, you can begin to apply paint, stains, or other sealants.  This can help give your model the finished look that the real boat would have.  Check your model's instructions for exact details on which kind of finish to apply and how to apply it.  Most wooden model boats will require some kind of wood stain and sealant to protect the wood. Some models can be decoratively painted to look like their real life counter parts. Matte or stain polyurethane finishes can be a great addition to your model boat. Before you complete your model, it's a good idea to give it one final check.  Make sure everything is painted to your liking, that you've added all the detail items, and that you are satisfied with the way it looks in general.  If there is something missing, feel free to go back and fix whatever it is you've noticed.  After you've checked your model boat over, you can proudly display your hard work.  You can buy model boat displays at many hobby stores. You shouldn't have any leftover parts from your model.  If you do, try to figure out where it was supposed to go and add it if possible. Be careful with your finished model boat as it will be fragile.

Now that you've started a dialogue, it's time to keep the conversation going. Avoid yes or no questions. Open ended questions specific to her, will encourage her to become engaged in the conversation. Find shared interests through online profiles and expand your conversation around common ground.  Ask “What types of outdoor activities do you enjoy?” instead of “Do you like sports?” Build common ground with things like, “I got a dog in college, what animals are your favorites? Avoid seeming spammy by limiting your responses to one message for each one received. This is a way to encourage the conversation to move forward so that she wants to keep talking to you. Give her a compliment focused on part of the conversation or her personality. It is OK to have some fun with your conversation and show your sense of humor.  "Talking with you has been one of the best parts of my day." "Just when I thought everyone online was fake, I meet you." NOTE: Avoid complimenting physical appearances at this point. Phrases like “You’re hot” or “sexy” may seem like a good idea, but they give the impression that you are shallow and only care about looks. Use the information you have learned as the conversation develops to build the base of a fun relationship. Find common interests that you can relate to and share personal experiences. Do not dominate the conversation by making it about you, but keep her involved by showing you are interested in the same things she is. Express your happiness that you had the opportunity to talk with her. Let her know that you want to talk again by casually creating the opportunity to talk again. Try these lines and you can create an opening:  "This has been awesome. I hope we can talk again soon!" "You mentioned (pick something from your conversation), I wanted to email you an article I found. What's your email address?" "I gotta go, but I really want to hear more about _______, will you email me a link to your favorite site? My email is ______________."

Now that your diagram is complete, consider putting an artistic spin on it so you can share it proudly with the rest of your family. Copy the diagram in pencil on a large sheet of drawing paper, then use nice ink or paint to render the names and add colorful embellishments. You could choose to use the classic tree shape or try something new and creative to illustrate your ancestry. Here are a few ideas:  Turn the connecting lines into branches, and write each person's name on a different leaf. Children's names can be written on apples or berries. Make a family galaxy, with people's names written on planets and stars. If you want, make your name the "sun." Create a family neighborhood, with each name written on a little house, all connected by streets. If you want your diagram to look visually appealing but you'd prefer not to illustrate it yourself, there are hundreds of options to choose from online. Do a search for "free family tree" to come up with templates or auto-generated diagrams you can print out and hang on your wall. Find an artist to render your family tree as a beautiful work of original art. You can choose to have the names written in calligraphy and have them set against a gorgeous background. If you do an online search for "family tree artist" you'll find lists of artists whose work you can commission. Take a close look at different portfolios to find an artist whose work matches your family's style.

Now that your hair has been prepared, you can use a number of different techniques to achieve different types of curls. One such curl is the flat curl, which will result in a full and voluminous curl.  Starting at the top near the root, begin wrapping the hair around the barrel, always keeping a hold on the tip of the section. Be sure to keep your hair smooth as you wrap, and don’t twist it. Making the curl near the root, rather than the tip, will help thick hair hold a curl longer. Close the blade, and while still holding the tip of the section, pull the iron away from your head as you rotate the barrel so that the hair feeds through again. Do this for five to ten seconds, then release the blade and let your hair out.  Instead of letting the curl fall immediately, cup it with your hand and let it cool for a few seconds. This will prevent the curl from dropping, stretching, and losing its shape. Beach waves are a loose and wavy curl style that’s modelled after hair that’s been exposed to fresh, salty air all day. To achieve this look, wrap your first section of hair flat around the vertical barrel the same way you did for the flat curl. Close the blade and let it sit for 5-10 seconds. For the next section of hair, repeat these steps, but instead orient the curling iron horizontally. Continue alternating between a vertical and horizontal barrel for each new section. Take your section of hair and gently twist it until you’ve twisted the full length of the section. Wrap the twisted section around the vertical curling iron barrel. Release the blade and hold it there for a few seconds, and then put two fingers on top of the hair. When the hair starts to feel hot, gently let your hair out without destroying the curl. Cup the curl in place until it cools. Use your hair thickness and your temperature setting to determine how long you should hold the section for. Hold the section for 5-10 seconds if your hair isn’t very thick and/or your iron is set to a high temperature setting. Hold the section for 15-30 seconds if...

Go for a flat curl. Give yourself beach waves. Try a spiral curl. Finger comb all curl styles and set them with hairspray.


Now that your potato is ready, you can use it to remove the light.  Gently push the cut face of the potato onto the broken part of the light bulb.  Slowly apply pressure until the broken parts of the bulb stick firmly into the potato.  The potato and the light bulb should feel securely connected.  The potato should cover most of the broken areas of the bulb. Don't smash the potato onto the light.  Always use a gentle pushing motion. Once the light bulb has come out of the socket, you can dispose of both the potato and the bulb.  It's a good idea to put both the potato and the bulb in a secure or sturdy container.  Both the bulb and the potato are likely to contain shards of broken glass and a sturdy container can help keep everyone safe.  After you've wrapped up the potato and the bulb, you can throw them both out as you normally would. Some areas will not recycle broken glass. Check with your local recycling rules and regulations.

Now that you’ve become friends with Mr. Snowman, return to the Bard at Comodo town to proceed to your next test. At this part of the quest, type exactly what the Bard sings. Possible songs will be listed below. Remember to remove the space at the end of each line if you are copy-pasting the song from this guide. The song has five parts, and the Bard will have you type the lyrics. Should you fail at this part of the quest, talk to the Bard for a retake.   Part One. It should go "A merchant without money or equipment, a Merchant that couldn't sell anything. But he was too proud to beg. So he gathered some money selling items. At first he only sold Red Potions. Some say he sold Sweet Potatoes, too."  Part Two. It should go "All Gods never age. The ever so beautiful Goddess Eden, Beautiful and graceful Goddess Eden, Odin's daughter-in-law and Bragi's wife. Her sweet apples in her basket, all thanks to her sweet apples."  Part Three. It should go "There was a man who was said to be immortal. His name Jichfreid, son of the hero Jichmunt. The evil giant Papner, turned into a dragon and ate him."  Part Four. It should go "Louder, louder, louder. Give strength to the warriors! Shake the sky and roar through the land. Make my heart pound again! Let the castle walls ring. This day will never come again!"  Part Five. It should go "Bragi, Bragi, forever calls the poets name.

Now that you’ve finished creating your instrumental track, it’s time to save it as an MP3 file. ” Now you’ll see a few options for changing MP3-specific details. This is a matter of preference. A higher bit rate MP3 will take up more hard drive space but sound much better. A low bit rate means a smaller file, but it won’t sound as good. Note that since you’re editing a compressed file, you will lose a bit of quality in this process.  For a small file that still sounds amazing, set Bit Rate Mode to “Variable” and select “Best Quality.” This option should work great for almost anyone. If you’re not worried about file size and need the highest possible quality, set the Bit Rate Mode to “Preset” and Quality to 320kbps. This will give you the best quality file Audacity can make. If your goal is the tiniest file possible, set the Bit Rate Mode to “Variable” and choose anything lower than “3” (155-195 kbps). Browse to the folder where you’d like to save the file. ” Audacity will now create your MP3 file and save it to the location you specified. Once the file is saved, you’ll be able to play it any application that supports MP3 files.

Now that you’ve got your products and services set up and you have price points and everything, you need to go about the task of finding customers. After all, customers are going to make your business. Without them, your business is a failure. There are several things you can do to find customers.  Print off flyers and pass them out to your friends and peers at school. Make sure that this is okay with the school authorities before you do this. Put up posters or flyers on designated advertising boards at your school or on your campus. Often times, schools and colleges will designate certain areas for the posting of advertisements. Post your flyers there. Advertise your business through word of mouth. Tell everyone about the service your offering or the product you’re selling. After all, it might be your friends and the people you see every day who wind up making up your customer base. Rely on these people, and ask them to tell others they know. Promote your business on social media. Use social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to advertise your business. This will probably help you get the word out the quickest, especially if you have friends promoting your business for you. Make sure you carry around product samples or a flyer explaining your service and prices with you wherever you go. You never know when you’ll run into someone who is interested in your business. Be able to show and explain your product or service in a quick and concise manor. Also, be able to explain why they should do business with you without sounding pushy or overbearing. Chances are, due to the nature of your business, you’ll be accepting cash from your customers. As a result, you’re going to need to be able to provide change. This is important, because if you don’t have change, you might lose business or lose money.  Go to the bank and get plenty of cents, quarters, dimes and nickels. You don't want to be given a $5 bill, and not have the change. To avoid the problem of change, try to price your product in a way that...

Now that you’ve snapped multiple photos and/or videos, it’s time to get back online. When you tap the airplane icon (the same one you tapped earlier) again, airline mode will switch off, and your device should connect to the internet. If your device doesn’t connect automatically, connect to your Wi-Fi or mobile network as you normally do. This will bring you to the Stories screen. Now you’ll see a list of each snap you’ve added, all with the text “Tap to retry” beneath. The snap at the bottom is the first one you took, work from the bottom up. Tapping this snap will upload it to the story immediately—you’ll know when it’s finished because the snap will no longer appear in the queue. Again, you’ll want to tap the last snap on the list first as it’s next in the sequence. Work your way up the list until no snaps remain. Now that you’ve uploaded multiple pictures or videos to your story, it’s time to check it out! Tap “My Story” on the Stories screen to play your story.

Now you are ready to begin! Take the piercing clamp and use it to clamp the skin of the navel and pull it out from the body slightly.  The entrance point you marked with the body ink should be centered in the bottom half of the clamp, while the exit point should be centered on the top half. Make sure to hold the clamp with your weaker hand, as you want the stronger, steadier one holding the needle. Take the sterilized, 14-gauge piercing needle. This needle has a hollow center, which will allow you to easily insert the belly button ring once you have pushed the needle through. Align the sharp end of the needle with the mark on the underside of the clamp. Take a deep breath, then with one fluid movement push the needle through the skin, making sure that the needle exits through the mark at the top of the clamp.  Never pierce from the top down. You need to be able to see where your needle is going and you can't do this if you're piercing downwards. The best way to pierce is while standing up, as this will give you the most mobility and allow you to see what you're doing. However, if you're concerned about fainting, pierce while lying down (not sitting!). Don't be concerned if the piercing bleeds a little -- this is totally normal. Just wipe away the blood with a clean q-tip dipped in saline solution. Place the end of the jewelry without the ball into the hollow needle (it should be virtually flush or slightly smaller than the needle) and push the needle out with the jewelry. DO NOT pull the needle out. You want to keep the contact between the needle and your navel ring for a smooth transition. The needle will fall off the end of the jewelry as it exits the skin so be prepared to catch it.  Refrain from pulling the needle out to soon, before the jewelry is fully through! Take the loose ball and screw it tightly onto the top of the belly button ring. Tah-dah! Your belly button is pierced! As soon as you've finished, wash your hands with antibacterial hand soap. Then take a cotton ball soaked in a saline solution...

Now you can further connect with this person by explaining that how she feels is valid. However, it's her actions which aren’t valid.  If you’re in a workplace scenario where you are talking to a coworker you can say something like “I understand that the workload and meeting deadlines can be stressful. And you’re right to feel angry or upset, I feel that way sometimes.” By connecting with this person, even if it’s hard to, and validating her feelings, you are changing your relationship in a positive way. Instead of being enemies, you are now on the same team. Be clear about what kind of changes you need, and don’t get emotional or irrational.   You need to set boundaries with the other person. If you outline boundaries for what’s acceptable or what you will put up with, you can begin to work on a resolution. If you know that certain things won’t change, focus on things you can change. If you’re in a workplace scenario and this person is never meeting deadlines and always coming in late, focus on one problem at a time. Assertive people will be clear about what is needed but without berating a person. Aggressive behavior involves piling on and being accusatory. If having this person meet deadlines is more important than coming in a few minutes late, be clear about it. Say “You haven’t met the last three deadlines, and I need you to meet your deadlines going forward. And if you can’t, then I will have to review your employment status with the company.” You’re not circumventing the situation at hand and being vague when you are concrete and specific. Now ask this person what the two of you can do to make what you need a reality. Formulate a plan that puts both of you on the same page.  Being assertive means working together while resolving an issue. Aggressive people will demand a change but not help. And passive-aggressive people will solve a problem without communication at all. If you need this person to start meeting deadlines, then together, communicate on how that can be achieved. Offer alternative...
