Put a frying pan on the stovetop and set the burner to medium heat. Add 1 tbsp (14 g) of butter or cooking oil to the frying pan. Keep an eye on the butter or oil to make sure it doesn’t start to burn. Lower the heat if it starts to smoke. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Add anything else you like in your scrambled eggs. Add some shredded cheddar cheese to the eggs for an extra-cheesy breakfast sandwich. Stir the eggs frequently to scramble them evenly. Remove the frying pan from the heat when they are completely cooked. Substitute 1 fried egg for the scrambled eggs if you want. Use a serrated knife to cut the croissant into two even top and bottom halves. Place them side-by-side in the middle of the baking sheet. Try to use a fresh-baked croissant from a bakery so you end up with a crispy and fresh breakfast sandwich. Lay down the slice of ham first on the bottom half of the croissant. Pile the scrambled eggs on top of the ham and top it off with the slice of cheese.  Don’t put the top half of the croissant on the sandwich yet. It will toast better if you leave it off. You can substitute bacon for the ham if you prefer. Keep an eye on the sandwich as it bakes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven when the croissant starts to get crispy and the cheese starts to bubble. Remember that baking time for different ovens can vary. Set the timer to 10 minutes but make sure to check on the sandwich every few minutes to keep it from burning.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 C) and heat up a frying pan. Whisk together 2 eggs in a bowl with a fork. Scramble the eggs in the frying pan for 2-3 minutes with a spatula. Slice a croissant in half and place the two parts on a baking sheet. Layer 1 slice of ham, 2 scrambled eggs, and 1 slice of cheese in the croissant. Bake the croissant for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts and it is toasted.


Put a large pot of water over high heat. Add between a sprinkle and a tablespoon of salt to the water, if desired. Allow the pot of water to come to a boil. Adding salt is optional. The advantage is that it will enhance the broccoli’s flavor. The disadvantage is that, over time, the sodium will cause the broccoli to be mushier. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Use a container that is at least five quarts. Alternately, you can use a clean sink basin with a drain stopper. Skipping this step will affect the color and texture of your broccoli. Allow the broccoli to sit in the ice bath for about five minutes. Don’t remove the broccoli from the ice bath until it is entirely cool, or it will keep cooking from the inside out.

Boil water. Prepare an ice bath. Leave the broccoli in the ice bath to cool.


Put a paper towel over the top of a cup with a large mouth. Push down the paper towel in the middle so that it caves in. Then take your rubber band and put it around the top of the cup and paper towel to hold your paper towel strainer in place. Choose a larger cup that you can pour the whole mixture of the curds and whey onto. Or pour the mixture onto the strainer, wait for it to strain and then pour on the rest.

Make a strainer to strain the curds from the whey.


Put a pea-size amount of cleanser in your hands and work it into a lather. Then, rub the lather into your scalp to clean away the sweat and grime that naturally build up over the course of the day. Rinse with warm water.  Dandruff shampoo can help with dry scalp, if that’s a problem for you.  Avoid using harsh cleansers on your scalp, as it’s more sensitive than the rest of your skin. It’s best to limit your showers to once a day so you don’t dry out your scalp. You can use face or body moisturizer, but it’s best to use one formulated to protect your scalp. Slather it on in the morning and evening, especially if you’ve just taken a shower.  Moisturizer helps prevent dry patches and wrinkles. Additionally, it helps your scalp look freshly shaved for a longer period of time. If you’re worried about shine, look for a moisturizer labeled as matte. Choose an SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen, and apply it at least 15 minutes before you leave home. Additionally, re-apply your sunscreen every 2-4 hours while you’re outdoors. As an alternative, you can wear a hat for sun protection.  Your shaved head will be very vulnerable to sunburn, which can cause skin damage, pain, and skin cancer. Follow the recommendations on your particular sunscreen when deciding how often to re-apply it. Normally, your hair collects the sweat beads that form on your head from natural perspiration. Unfortunately, sweat has nowhere to go but down if there’s no hair there to catch it. Luckily, antiperspirant offers relief if your sweat is bothering you. Simply apply it to your scalp before bed to allow it time to soak into your skin.  Spray on antiperspirant is the best option for your scalp, but you can use a stick or roll on if that’s all you have. It’s okay if you shower in the morning. The antiperspirant will still help control sweat because it’s already soaked into your pores. It’s easier to shave hair when it’s less than .25 inches (0.64 cm) long, so try not to let it grow longer than this. However, you don’t want to shave your head too...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Wash your head daily with a gentle soap or shampoo. Apply a moisturizer to your head at least twice a day. Protect your head from the sun using sunscreen or a hat. Put antiperspirant on your scalp before bed if excessive sweating is an issue. Shave when re-growth becomes noticeable.


Put a placemat in front of each of the chairs you've set up for your guests. For a true formal dinner setting, you should have enough matching placemats for all of the guests, and the placemats should also match the tablecloth. If your meal includes more courses or items, you may need to add the following additional plates and utensils:  A bread and butter plate and knife. Place this small round plate about five inches above the forks. Place a small knife horizontally over the plate, with the blade facing to the left. A dessert fork and spoon. Place the small dessert fork and spoon horizontally a few inches above the plate, with the spoon on top of the fork facing left, and the fork facing right. A coffee cup. Place the coffee cup over a small saucer a few inches above the outermost utensil on the left and a few inches to the left of it. A red and white wine glass. If you have two different glasses, then the white wine glass will be the one closer to the guest, and the red wine glass will be slightly above and to the left of the white wine glass. You can remember this because guests should move from white to red wine.

Put down the placemat. Add any additional plates and utensils that you may need.


Put a shower cap, aluminum foil, or clear/white plastic bag over your hair. Make sure it's not covering your face, but is over all of your hair. Then tie it at the nape of your neck, making sure all of your hair is tucked underneath the bag.  If you want a higher lift, use aluminum foil instead of a plastic bag. If you are using a grocery bag, make sure the side with printing on it is NOT against your head, or you will wind up with the color of the print processed into your hair a bit. Start timing from when you first started applying the bleach. Check your timer. If you leave it on for longer, it won't get any lighter, it will only damage your hair more.   Check the color all the time. Once at a pale yellow, you must wash off the bleach. Don't leave bleach on for over an hour. Don't bleach any more once at pale yellow or your hair will break. If you’ve gone as long as you safely can and your hair is still not pale yellow, then rinse it out, tone your hair, and wait a month to re-bleach your hair.    Wash out with a PH neutralizing shampoo. This will stop any further acidic or basic chemical reactions from occurring on your head. This will formally end the bleaching process.  You ‘’must’’ wash out the bleach mixture completely, or else you will damage your hair. After a while, the developer and powder stop reacting and your hair won't bleach any more, only become more damaged. If you over-bleach, your hair might end up feeling a little bit straw-like and brittle. If you're in doubt, rinse it out. Make sure to use a shampoo and conditioner designed for bleached blonde hair to eliminate any yellow and make your hair bright platinum and white. Any purple shampoo is fine. Remember purple counteracts yellow, makes it white, and eliminates brassiness.

Cover your hair. Leave it like this for 40 minutes. Rinse out the bleach when your hair is light enough.


Put a small amount of the cleaning product on an inconspicuous spot on the fabric. Rinse the fabric and let it dry. Put a regular amount of laundry detergent in the washing machine and set it to use hot water. Do not include other items in the washing machine so that you don't risk any transfer of the ink to another item. The stain should be gone, but if there is still a trace, repeat the process of applying the alcohol-based item to the stain. Wash the fabric again and if the stain is gone, then proceed to dry the fabric as usual.

Pretest the cleaning product. Wash the fabric in the washing machine. Check the fabric before drying.


Put a small deep skillet over medium heat and heat up 2 cups of oil. Make sure that the oil is thoroughly heated before starting to fry the fritters.  Try to use a cooking oil with a high smoke point, such as peanut or vegetable oil, as opposed to one with a low smoke point, like olive oil.  You need to use a large amount of oil for deep-frying so that the fritters are partially submerged and can get crispy. Once the oil has heated, use a serving spoon to scoop up a round spoonful of batter, then drop it into the oil. The batter will start frying immediately and keep its round shape. Drop in more scoops to the skillet, spacing them out so they don’t stick together. After you see that the round fritters are getting golden around the bottom, use a spatula to flip them over so they can fry evenly. It should take only about 30 seconds for the fritters to get golden on each side, so be watchful. When the fritters are browned all around, about one minute, use the spatula to press down lightly on the fritters and see if they have finished cooking. If no batter oozes out of them, they are finished frying.

Heat 2 cups of cooking oil on medium heat. Add in scoops of the mixture to the skillet. Turn over the fritters after they get golden around the bottom. Check that the fritters are done.


Put a towel on your lap. Make sure you are in a chair where your rabbit’s head on your knees will be lower than the rest of its body. Gather everything you need nearby. If you’re trying to dress a wound, it would be the antibiotic and bandage. For grooming, it could be nail clippers, brushes, etc. Use your right hand under the bunny’s front legs, and left hand on its rump. Have it in the crook of your arm -- sort of like snuggling a baby. Turn the rabbit over onto the towel on your lap. Be gentle! Your rabbit will be on his or her back -- a position they typically do not enjoy. Be sure the rabbit’s rump is higher than its head. The rabbit will struggle, but this normally doesn’t last long. Some rabbits will immediately go into a trance, others will need a little help. Rub your rabbit’s chest between its front paws with one hand. With the other, gently rub the head. This might send them into a trance immediately. Soon the rabbit will drop its head back and become immobilized.  If the feet are shaking, just touch them and they should stop. Then pet your rabbit’s front paws, back paws and stomach just so they know you're there. Keep hold of your rabbit while in a trance because you can’t know when they will wake up, usually with jerking motions that could seriously injure them if you haven’t supported them properly.

Prepare yourself. Pick up your rabbit. Calm the rabbit. Support your rabbit’s body.


Put all the moves you’ve learned to use and tackle the choreography for a whole song. Try a popular dance or song and look for choreography tutorials for it online.  Try searching for a step by step video that breaks down each part of a full choreographed dance, just like you did with learning the basics. While you might be able to pick up a dance from watching a music video or other performance, it’s much easier to grasp it when the steps are taught individually. You can also make up your own choreography to your favorite song using the hip hop dance moves you have learned if you feel confident to do so! Gather family or friends for a small informal performance. Show them the choreography you learned, or some of the individual moves you like best.  You can even use your new skills to teach other friends or family members some of your moves. It can be fun to pass on a new skill, and it can also help you get better just by teaching others. Performing for a casual group of people you know is also a great way to get used to having an audience if you think you might like to perform in public in the future. Keep up with the skills you learned online by finding ways to participate in hip hop dance in new places and with new people. Join a class, take a private lesson, or just dance at clubs and parties to continue honing your skills.  Look for a club, dancehall, or other venue that plays hip hop music on a regular basis. Make sure you are of age for the venue, bring some friends, and use it as an opportunity to practice dancing and even pick up some new moves from other dancers there. Consider joining a dance crew or another small street dance group. You can even consider performing with a group on the street in areas where it’s allowed in your city.

Learn a full choreography. Perform for family and friends. Continue practicing outside your home.


Put as many unshelled pine nuts as you want to roast into a colander or fine mesh strainer. Rinse them with cold water and then discard any that are discolored or cracked. You can purchase unshelled pine nuts at local health food stores, grocery stores, or online. If you'd like to make slightly salted pine nuts, similar to salted sunflower seeds, stir 1/4 cup (60 g) of sea salt into 2 cups (470 ml) of water until the salt dissolves. Stir the pine nuts into the bowl with the solution and let them soak while the oven preheats. If you don't want salty pine nuts, you can skip this step. Tear a sheet of parchment paper and lay it on a rimmed baking sheet. If you soaked the pine nuts, drain them. Then spread your pine nuts on the baking sheet so they're in a single layer. If you don't have parchment paper, you can roast the pine nuts directly on the baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the oven and roast the pine nuts until they begin to pop. Stir the pine nuts after 10 minutes and leave them to cook for another 10 minutes if they haven't popped. If you soaked the pine nuts in a salt solution, it may take closer to 30 minutes of total roasting time before the pine nuts are done. Turn off the oven and remove the pine nuts. Transfer the pine nuts to a cold baking sheet or lift up the sheet of parchment paper and set it on a wire rack. Leave the pine nuts to cool completely. Keep the pine nuts in a single layer as they cool. Spread the cooled pine nuts onto a clean dish towel and fold the towel over so the pine nuts are covered. Press down on the pine nuts with a rolling pin. You should hear the shells cracking. Then fold back the towel and pick the toasted pine nuts out of the shells. Enjoy the toasted pine nuts right away or put them in an airtight container. Store them at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate them for up to 6 months.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and rinse the unshelled pine nuts. Soak the pine nuts in a salt solution for 30 minutes to add flavor. Line a sheet with parchment and arrange the pine nuts on it. Roast the pine nuts for 10 to 20 minutes. Cool the pine nuts for 20 minutes. Use a rolling pin to shell the pine nuts.


Put as much distance between yourself and your opponents as possible when you’re on the defensive. This gives you more time to see the balls coming and more time to react. This makes it easier to catch or dodge incoming throws. When you’re making a catch, use as much of your body as possible. Use your hands to make first contact with the ball, then scoop it towards you until it hits your chest. This makes you less likely to drop the ball and be eliminated. If you’ve already got a ball, you can hit incoming balls rather than dodging them. This is especially useful for balls that are thrown low. Hold the ball firmly in your hands and push out quickly towards the incoming ball to bounce it away. Be careful not to drop your ball when blocking incoming shots, or you’ll be eliminated. Since it’s good strategy to throw balls low, you might not be able to catch or deflect everything that’s thrown at you. If a ball’s coming right down the middle, split your legs as you jump, and aim to get just enough height to narrowly miss the ball. If you put too much spring in your jump, it’ll take you longer to readjust to face the next throw. When the ball comes at just one of your legs, just lift that leg as you jump.

Stand as close to the back wall as possible. Use your body to catch incoming throws. Deflect incoming balls. Jump over low balls.


Put down familiar, clean bedding and  something that smells of you, such as a t-shirt you’ve worn. Give them their favorite chew toys, scratch pads, balls, or other toys to keep your pets distracted. Ensure that the room temperature is comfortable: make it warm in cold weather, or cool in hot weather. Be sure to leave sufficient water and food for your pet in the confinement space. If your pet has access to water and its regular food, it will be calmer.  Consider buying a special treat, such as wet food or small sausages, to make it feel more comfortable during the fireworks. Chewing can help to relieve stress for dogs that like to chew. Make sure that your dog has an appropriate chew toy or bone if it likes to chew to calm itself. If you're worried about not being able to find your pet, consider looking for it a few hours before the fireworks are set to start. Mealtime is a good time to round up your pets. If your dog needs a walk, be sure to walk it before confining it in the room.  Even if your pet is caged, you should still keep it in the secure and comfortable room you've selected. If your pet is a horse or other farm animal, make sure it has clean bedding and is safely inside the stable or barn. It's possible to transfer some of your anxiety and worry to your pet, so it's important to remain calm so you don't inadvertently stress your pet out. If you've prepared properly in advance, there is no need to feel worried as you have done all you can to make the experience as easy as possible for it. Comfort it and talk to it. Be friendly and stay happy and upbeat, as pets can read emotions better than you think. If it's not possible to stay with it—you may be at the fireworks display yourself—just make sure you do everything you can for its comfort while you are gone.  Act how you normally would when you visit your pet. Treating it any differently than you normally do may make it feel more anxious. Allow your pet to hide somewhere in the room. It's common for pets to cope with these experiences by using a...

Make the rooms your pets will be confined in feel familiar. Provide food and water for your pet. Move your pet to the prepared room. Prepare yourself mentally and try to relax. Stay with your pet, or at least check on it regularly. Consider using lavender plants or spray for a calming scent.


Put on a short summer or springy dress and pair it with cotton leggings that complement the color of the dress. The dress and leggings shouldn't be the same color, obviously, but they should coordinate. For example, if the dress has five different colors on it, just pick leggings that match at least one of the colors.  If your dress is busy with designs, go for solid-colored leggings. Or do the reverse, you can even wear a solid-colored dress with a pair of patterned leggings and top your dress with a solid colored scarf. Pick a skirt that looks good with the leggings. Make sure the color of the skirt and the material don't clash with the leggings. If you're wearing a lose skirt, wear a tight shirt so you don't have too much flouncy material going on. If your skirt has a pattern, wear plain leggings. If the skirt is plain, wear patterned leggings or leggings that are of a distinct enough color so they don't blend in with the skirt. This can be a cute and casual look. Just put on a plain-colored pair of leggings and throw on some denim, white, or black shorts, and you're good to go. The shorts shouldn't be so tight that they blend in with the leggings.  Wear casual shoes with this look. Flats, low boots, sandals, or even sneakers will do. Wear a long jacket or top and a tight tank top or t-shirt with this look. Remember that you already have a lot going on when you wear shorts with leggings, so either own it and wear lots of layers, or keep it simple, but don't go for something in between. If the sweater and boots are a simple, solid color, try some patterned leggings. Leggings that are zebra or leopard striped or covered with hypnotic can give you a fun and flashy look. Make sure you wear them with an understated top, skirt, dress, pants or shoes. Let your leggings steal the show and avoid clashing by not having other patterns get in the way of your style.  If you're wearing loud leggings and an understated top, pair them with some loud jewelry.

Pair leggings with a cute dress. Pair leggings with a skirt. Pair leggings with shorts. Rock the patterned leggings.


Put on goggles to protect your eyes from free-falling sticks or debris. Wear a long-sleeved shirt and long pants to keep yourself from getting scratched. Don thick, but well-fitting, gloves to protect your hands from citrus tree thorns. It’s easy to get hurt by falling branches during the pruning or trimming process. To prevent this, attach larger branches to the trunk with a security tie before cutting them. You can also get a partner who will hold the branch as you make any final cuts. Every 15 minutes or so, take a number of steps away from the tree and look over your progress. Use this as an opportunity to stop your work or to plan how to continue. This is an extreme measure reserved only for the most unproductive or overgrown citrus trees. When you “skeletonize” a tree you trim back every branch all the way back to the trunk, leaving a stand-along stump. This will give your tree a chance to grow healthy, fruit-bearing branches. It often takes between 2-3 years to go from a “skeletonized” tree to a productive one. So, this is a method for the patient. If you “skeletonize” your tree, or if you cut entire sections away due to damage, your tree might get sunburned as a result. Trees that are sunburned are more prone to splitting and infestations. To prevent this, paint the trunk of your tree with a 50% acrylic paint 50% water mixture. To help the paint adhere, scrub the bark with a water and soap mixture prior to painting.

Wear protective gear. Be careful when removing large branches or foliage. Stand back every few minutes to assess your work. Trim down to a single trunk to revive an aged tree. Paint the bark with a water-based whitewash.


Put on your pointe shoe and position your foot flat on the ground. Start by wrapping the ribbon positioned on the inside of your foot over the top of your foot and around the back of your ankle. Repeat the process in the reverse direction with the outside ribbon.  Make sure the ribbons are positioned right above the ankle bone. Tie the ends of the ribbons into a small knot on the inside of your ankle. Your ribbons should be tight enough that they hold your shoe in place, but not so tight that they cause discomfort.  Avoid tying the ribbons over your Achilles tendon on the back of your ankle, as this can be uncomfortable. If this is the first time you are tying your ribbons, you’ll need to trim them. Trim the ribbon ends about two inches from the knot. Run a flame over the ends so they won’t fray, and then tuck them under so they can’t be seen.  If the ends make an unsightly bulge, trim them a little more.

Wrap the ribbons around your ankle. Tie the ribbons. Trim the ribbons.


Put on your respirator and protective masks and glove. Use a sheet of 220-grit sandpaper or a grinder on a low setting to wear away the zinc coating. This is helpful in striking and maintaining a steady arc, but isn't critical if you are dealing with a thin galvanized coating and using appropriate rods. It will also increase the odds that you aren’t exposed to any harmful fumes.  If you want to strip smaller materials, like galvanized bolts or strips, you can soak them overnight in a cup of vinegar.  While welding galvanized steel releases the toxic fumes in the metal, grinding or sanding it won’t. Put your 2 pieces of galvanized metal on your work surface and arrange them in a way that you want them to set. You shouldn’t need to hold the pieces together while you weld. If you’re welding a hole or tear to close it off, set your piece down on your work surface so that the opening is facing up. If you have to lay your pieces out on the floor, make sure that you’re welding on a non-combustible surface, like concrete. If you’re clamping 2 sheets or joints together and they’ll fit in a clamp, use a welding clamp to force them together and make a perfect seam. Welding clamps are iron or metal clamps. To use a welding clamp, place 2 pieces in between the 2 ends of your clamp. Hold the frame still while you turn the dial at the end clockwise until the clamps close over your 2 items to hold them still.  Welding clamps are often referred to as C-clamps. If you’re using clamps that aren’t marketed as welding clamps, you can probably get away with using any metal clamp. You can’t use plastic clamps to hold 2 objects together for welding.

Grind away the zinc coating at the site where you’re welding. Place your 2 pieces together or isolate your repair. Clamp smaller pieces with a welding clamp if you can.


Put on your rubber gloves and grasp the center stopper. Turn it counterclockwise while pulling up slightly. After enough turns, the stopper should unscrew fully from the drain. Foot plug drains will have a stopper in the center of the drain that moves up and down when the tub is stopped. Grasp the stopper and pull up on it. You should see a setscrew underneath the stopper’s cap. Use your screwdriver to remove this, and the stopper should then come out. Tap or nudge it with the screwdriver if it seems stuck. Lift-and-turn drains will also have a stopper in the center of the drain, but will be activated by grasping and turning them. Set your tub to the “open” position, if it has a visible stopper. Remove any screws you see on the drain’s faceplate. Once the screws are out, you should be able to lift up on the drain and pull it out.  The faceplate will be on the tub wall near the faucet, not on the bottom of the tub with the drain. These type of drains will stop a tub when a trip lever is activated. You may not be able to see the stopper itself when looking at the drain. Set the tip of the screwdriver underneath the lip of the loosened drain if you need some leverage as you pull it out. Make sure to pull away from the tub wall. The plunger (a small piece that stops the tub) should come out along with the drain.

Put one set of quotation marks around these titles to off set it properly. Only put quotations around the title, not the author’s name.  For example, if you were citing the poem One Art by Elizabeth Bishop, it would appear as “One Art” by Elizabeth Bishop. If you were citing the short story Ironhead by Aimee Bender, it would appear as “Ironhead” by Aimee Bender. If you were citing the chapter The Boy Who Lived from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling, it would appear as “The Boy Who Lived”  from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. Always use quotation marks when citing the title of an article or essay in a journal, magazine, or online publication. Capitalize all of the words that are not articles in the title and use one set of quotation marks around the title only.  For example, if you were citing the article The President Wants to Keep Us in the Dark by Marc Decosta, it would appear as “The President Wants to Keep Us in the Dark” by Marc Decosta. If you were citing the essay The Fourth State of Matter by Jo Ann Beard, it would appear as “The Fourth State of Matter” by Jo Ann Beard. For example, if you were talking about an episode of Friends called The One With the Blackout, it would appear as “The One With the Blackout.” If you were discussing the song Tangled Up in Blue by Bob Dylan, it would appear as “Tangled Up in Blue” by Bob Dylan. Plays should always be cited with quotation marks. For example, if you were discussing the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller, it would appear as “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller. Do not use italics or underline the title of plays. If you are citing a collection of plays by the same playwright, for example, The Collected Plays of Arthur Miller, you would use italics for the title, not quotation marks: The Collected Plays of Arthur Miller. Do not put punctuation that is part of the sentence in the quotation marks with the title. Only include punctuation that is already part of the title in the quotation marks. For example:  Did you...

Put paper towels on your work surface to catch any drips. When it was melted, the lipstick probably pooled on the side and bottom of the tube, then hardened. Scoop it out of the tube with a small knife or paper clip. Be sure to get as much of it out as possible, so you don't waste any. To make your new lipstick perfectly smooth, put it in a metal spoon and hold it over a candle flame until it melts. Pour the liquid lipstick into a small, clean container.  Lip balm jars are a good size and have lids that will close tightly, keeping your lipstick clean and contained. Empty pill containers will also work, but probably won’t be secure enough to toss in your purse. It will cool and turn solid. Once hardened, your lipstick is ready to wear. Apply with a lip brush to keep your fingers clean and enjoy!

Prepare your work surface. Remove the lipstick. Melt it to remove lumps. Pour it into your new container. Put it in the fridge for half an hour.


Put random but relevant-looking work (ex: 2+2= 23/7 Carry the four Multiply by two 7) and hope that they don't look too closely.  If your teacher walks around the class checking for homework, but doesn't take it in, write your homework page and task at the top of some random notes you have for that class. If they're not attentive, they won't notice. If they are attentive, try to distract them by asking a question related to the subject or show them a word in the textbook you don't understand. Many textbooks have all or half of the answers listed in the back of the book (especially math books). Your teacher may have found the worksheets or questions online, too, so search for the answers online. Search your bag thoroughly in front of the teacher before coming up empty handed. Say something like "I'm so sorry, my alarm didn't go off this morning and I was so late that I just shoved everything in my bag. I must have forgotten it." Say you must have left it on your desk/in the car/on the bus and ask if you can turn it in at the end of the day. Then you can quickly do the assignment during lunch. Ask someone for the answers or to do your homework for you. You can make a deal with a friend that if they do your assignment this time, you'll get them back another time. Just remember that this can be considered cheating, and you could be in big trouble if you get caught.  Try asking one friend for answers to questions #1 and #2, then another friend for the answers to questions #3 and #4, and so on until the assignment is complete. Assemble a study group and let them work out all the answers. If you have a friend who owes you a favor, tell them this is how they can repay their debt. Crack the CD in the case before class then carry a lot of stuff to the class and fall or drop everything as you walk into class. Pick up your broken CD. Your teacher will be sympathetic as the entire thing just happened in front of their eyes. Bring in a blank flash drive and swear to your teacher you saved it to the drive and you don't know...

Put simply, a prenuptial agreement is a legal contract that outlines what each person entering into a marriage has before the marriage is official, and what each person would take out of the marriage if it were to end due to either death or divorce. Normally these decisions are made by the state in which you live. However, a valid prenuptial agreement puts this decision in the hands of you and your partner. For example, if you make considerably more income, possess a greater amount of assets, or have significantly less debt than your partner, it may be in your best financial interest to get a prenuptial agreement before you and your partner are officially married.  For example, if you will be receiving a large inheritance, a prenuptial agreement can help ensure you retain ownership of these assets instead of them being part of shared marital property. Alternatively, if your partner is liable for a large debt, a prenuptial agreement can protect you from being subject to your partner's creditors.  If you do not currently have any major financial assets, but expect to earn an increased amount of income during your marriage, or if you are pursuing an educational degree in a highly lucrative profession, you should still consider filing a prenuptial agreement. Prenuptial agreements can outline who will pay the expenses for children from previous marriages. Therefore, such an agreement can be useful in this situation to make clear who will be responsible for providing for such children, in addition to outlining how assets will be allocated in the event of death or divorce. Be aware, however, that certain expenses—such as paying for college using federal financial aid—still require both parents to be financially involved regardless of the existence of a prenuptial agreement. A prenuptial agreement in this situation can serve two purposes. First, it can protect the assets of the person who owns the business in case the marriage ends. Second, it can protect the person who does not own the business from incurring any...

Understand what a prenuptial agreement does. Consider getting a prenuptial agreement if you and your partner currently have different financial situations. Consider getting a prenuptial agreement if this is not you or your partner's first marriage. Consider getting a prenuptial agreement if you or your partner own a business.


Put the beans into a large bowl and fill it with cold water. Use your hands to swish the green beans around, before pouring out the water and repeating. Continue this process until the water is clear and the beans are clean. Strain the beans and toss them lightly to dry them.  If there are still flecks of dirt in the water, or you cannot get them completely clean, don’t worry too much. Blanching the beans will sterilize and remove any other impurities left on the green beans. If you choose to raw-pack your green beans, or can them without cooking them first, you will need to make sure the beans are completely clean. Transfer the green beans to a large pot and cover them with cold water. Place the pot over a medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Once the water begins to boil, set a timer to cook the green beans for 5 minutes, or until just cooked and tender.  Cooking the beans isn’t necessary, but it will allow you to get more beans into each jar when you can them. If you choose not to cook the beans, it is referred to as cold-packing or raw-packing. Make sure the green beans are clean when you put them in the jars and skip this step. Cold-packing still requires the rest of the processing needed in hot-packing your green beans.

Wash the green beans in cold water. Cook the green beans for 5 minutes in boiling water.


Put the board on a flat surface so that it is steady and will not flip over while you are ironing. Make sure that it is clean and dry before setting your tie down. Read the label on the tie to figure out what material it is made out of. Most irons are labeled with fabric settings such as silk. If your tie does not say which material it is made from, play it safe and use the lowest setting on your iron.  Silk and polyester ties should use a cool setting.  Wool ties will need a medium-hot setting.  Cotton and linen ties can use a hot setting. Make sure your hands are dry, and then lay your tie face-up across the ironing board. Smooth out the tie the best you can. Make sure the tie is not stained, because if you iron over a stain it may permanently set-in and ruin the tie. Ties are typically delicate, so you do not want to press the iron directly onto the tie fabric. Instead, you need to wet a clean, white cloth. Make sure that the cloth is damp, but not dripping with any excess water. Any drops of water that fall onto a tie could potentially leave a water stain. Keep wringing out the cloth until it does not drip any water. The purpose of the pressing cloth is to protect the tie fabric from coming into direct contact with the iron. Lay the pressing cloth completely over the area of the tie that you iron. To safely iron your tie, you will gently move the iron over the pressing cloth, and let the steam produced from the cloth work to release any wrinkles from the tie. Never let the iron rest in one spot.  Using gentle pressure, start from the bottom, and work your way to the top. Iron small sections at a time as you move the iron from the edges inward to prevent creases. When you have finished one side, flip it over, and repeat the process. Make sure your pressing cloth is still wet. If it feels dry, get it wet again, and wring it back out. Before storing your tie or wearing it, make sure that it has completely cooled off, or it may wrinkle again.

Set up the ironing board. Put the iron on the appropriate setting. Lay out your tie. Saturate a pressing cloth. Cover the tie with the pressing cloth. Iron the tie. Hang the tie to cool when you are finished.


Put the brown sugar in an airtight container in your pantry. You can store the brown sugar at room temperature indefinitely, but it may harden over time as it dries out. If you don't have an airtight storage container, you can keep the brown sugar in a plastic food storage bag with a zipper. If you need to soften brown sugar quickly, put the lump of brown sugar into a microwave-safe bowl. Moisten a paper towel with water and lay it over the brown sugar. Microwave the brown sugar for 15 to 20 seconds and check to see if it's softened. If not, microwave it for another 15 to 20 seconds. If the brown sugar is so hard that it's hard to divide the lump into a bowl, add a few teaspoons of water to the sugar before you microwave it. You can also soften brown sugar by storing it with a piece of fresh bread for a few days. The moisture from the bread softens the sugar. Just be sure you remember to toss out the bread before too long because it will dry out. You could also place a slice or two of apple in the container to keep the brown sugar soft.

Store the brown sugar in an airtight container. Soften brown sugar in the microwave. Place a piece of bread with the brown sugar.


Put the butter into a mixing bowl, and beat it with a handheld mixer. If you have a food processor with a whisk attachment, use that instead. If you'd like a smoother frosting, omit the lemon zest. If you'd like a less sweet frosting, omit the vanilla extract. Use medium speed, and keep beating until the mixture becomes smooth. From time to time, scrape the sides of the bowl so that everything mixes evenly. If the frosting is too dry, add a little more lemon juice or milk. If the frosting is too wet/runny, add a little more sugar. At this point, you can also add a few drops of yellow food coloring to make your frosting more lemon-colored. If you won't be using the icing for a while, keep it covered with a damp cloth in the fridge, and re-whip it before you spread it. If it is too dry, then add a little more lemon juice or milk.

Cream the butter until it turns light and fluffy. Mix in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Beat in the sugar gradually, 1 cup (125 grams) at a time. Add more sugar or lemon juice, if necessary. Use the frosting on cakes, cupcakes, or as a filling in pastries. Enjoy the frosting!


Put the character’s potential name through a search engine and make sure it doesn’t have any unforeseen, and possibly unfortunate, associations or connotations. If a character’s name may be somewhat common, double-check that it’s not attached to something or someone you didn’t expect. Assuming you want people to feel comfortable saying the character’s name in their head and potentially talking about it with others, shoot for a name that readers will be able to pronounce. If there’s anything tricky or unexpected about how the character’s name should be pronounced, include a subtle reference in the text to how it should be pronounced. Sometimes the way things seem or sound in your head is different than how it will seem or sound when said out loud. Before you commit to a name, make sure it doesn’t sound like anything you don’t want it to and that it doesn’t sound grating or comical. Avoid choosing names that transparently communicate goodness or badness, etc. It’s an overused and overly obvious trope. For example, don’t name a good character something like “Angel Goodman,” and don’t name a bad character “Damon Blacksoul.” It’s broadly believed within the fantasy fiction community that inserting apostrophes into a name is overused, trite, and generally frowned upon. Unless you’re taking inspiration from a specific culture that uses apostrophes in given or surnames in a specific way, don’t drop them in just to make a character seem “different” or “exotic.” Avoid using names that are too similar either in style, quality, or sound. It will make it difficult for the reader to distinguish between the characters.  For example, don’t name all of your main characters using the same initial, like Mary, Mike, Mark, and Molly. Also watch out for names that rhyme or sound quite similar, like Jake, Drake, and Blake or Mary Loo and Anna Marie.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Research the name. Make sure the name is pronounceable. Say the name aloud. Don’t be too obvious. Avoid using apostrophes in your characters’ names. Don’t make names too similar.


Put the cheesecloth in a colander and put the colander in a large bowl to catch the whey, which is a thin yellow liquid. Put the yogurt in the colander, cover the colander with a plate, and put it all in the refrigerator.  Strain for a couple of hours for greek yogurt.  Strain overnight for a very thick yogurt, almost like soft cream cheese. Place the yogurt in your fridge for several hours before serving. It will keep for 1 to 2 weeks. If you're going to use some of it as starter, use it within 5 to 7 days, so that the bacteria still have growing power. Whey will form on the top. You can pour it off or stir it in before eating your yogurt. Many commercial yogurts include a thickening agent, such as pectin, starch, gum, or gelatin. Don't be surprised or concerned if your homemade yogurt has a somewhat thinner consistency without these thickeners. Putting the yogurt in the freezer to cool it before to moving it to the refrigerator will result in a smoother consistency. You can also stir or shake in the lumps. Experiment until you develop a flavor that your taste buds fancy. Canned pie filling, jams, maple syrup, and ice-cream fudges are good flavorings. For a healthier option, use fresh fruit, with or without a small amount of sugar or honey.

Strain the yogurt through cheesecloth for a thicker consistency. Refrigerate the yogurt. Add optional flavorings. Use the yogurt from this batch as the starter for the next batch. Finished.


Put the chicks (and the hen, if she is living with them) in an outdoor cage and then watch them dig for bugs, dust bathe in dirt/sand and explore the new environment. Be cautious and make sure they cannot get out. To be sure, watch them for a minute or two to see how they adapt to their surroundings. If you're not watching them, put a tarpaulin on top of the cage so no birds will attack/scare them. Make sure to weight down the blanket with something heavy (like bricks) so the wind won't blow it away. After they are a couple weeks old, place a small, shallow tub in their enclosure. Fill the tub with sand. They will soon begin dust bathing, a ritual quail really love. Dust bathing also prevents mites, lice and other nasty parasites. Quail chicks grow fast, so you will soon see that they will need more space. Keep your chicks isolated, but move them to a bigger brooder when they reach 3 weeks of age. The chicks will need twice as much space at 3 weeks: about 1 sq ft (930 cm2) per chick. Once the chicks have most of their feathers, they are ready to be put outside with other adult birds. If these will be your first outdoor birds, build them a quail habitat in your yard.

Let your chicks explore outside after a couple of weeks. Provide a tub of sand for your chicks. Give your chicks more space when they are 3 weeks old. Introduce them to your other adult birds when the are 5 weeks old.


Put the container in a room with decent airflow, so moisture can evaporate before it condenses on the container walls. The waxworms aren't affected much by humidity, but they may have trouble moving and feeding if the substrate gets damp and mushy. Waxworms breed much faster in temperatures between 28 and 32ºC (82 to 90ºF). If you can't keep a room close to this temperature, warm the container with a heat mat or heat lamp from a pet store.  You can breed waxworms at room temperature, but this can add months to each breeding cycle. You may prefer this if you are breeding them for your own use and don't need large quantities. Do not let the temperature reach 40ºC (104ºF). At this temperature, many of the adult moths will die before they finish laying eggs. Waxworms thrive in dark environments. Put the container in a paper bag, or wrap a tube of dark paper around the jar. Open the container occasionally and search through the substrate for black, shriveled larvae. Throw these away before they rot to discourage disease. The larvae should tunnel through the substrate, eat it, and grow bigger, molting their skins several times along the way. The larvae usually pupate once they are six or seven weeks old, if kept at a warm temperature. They will either spin cocoons, or (at lower temperatures) enclose themselves in a hard, dark shell.  A greater waxworm larvae usually reaches about 20mm (¾ inch) before it molts. The lesser waxworm species is almost as long but has a narrow body. If you have a dense population, you may need to add more of the edible bedding before they pupate. Greater waxworm larvae can eat very quickly, so check on them daily.

Keep your waxworms in a ventilated area. Warm the container. Keep the container dark. Remove dead larvae. Wait for the larvae to pupate.


Put the cooled jerky into a glass or storage container. The container should be 2/3 full of jerky. Seal the container shut and shake it once a day for 2 to 4 days. Shaking the container will help the dry pieces absorb any moisture that may be in the other pieces. Place your conditioned jerky in an airtight container that's about the same size as the jerky you want to store. Avoid using a storage container that's too large or too much air will become trapped in the container. This can make the jerky spoil faster. Keep the jars of jerky in a cool, dry location.  For short-term storage, you can put the jerky in small plastic baggies. Vacuum-sealing is a great way to remove air from the storage container. Homemade venison jerky can be safely stored and used for 1 to 2 months. If you'd like to store it for 3 to 6 months, keep the jerky in the refrigerator. You can also freeze venison jerky for up to 1 year.

Put the cotton balls or swabs in a small garbage bag, tie the bag securely, and put it in the garbage. Wash your hands of any remaining acetone after handling cotton balls.  If the cotton balls are saturated in nail polish remover, remember to wring them out into a separate container with a secure lid. Throw out that container as a hazardous waste.  Use trashcans with self-opening and closing lids to avoid exposure to acetone and other hazardous wastes that you throw away. If you have bottles of nail polish and remover your salon no longer wants, put these in separate containers from the rest of your recycling. Bring those containers to a hazardous waste, treatment, disposal, or recycling facility, or Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (TSDR).  You can find a TSDR facility through the EPA’s RCRAInfo search here https://www3.epa.gov/enviro/facts/rcrainfo/search.html by searching specific geographic locations, zip codes, or a facility name if you know it. Don’t pour acetone nail polish remover in the drain or toilet. Avoid putting large amounts of acetone in the regular garbage. Seal it in a leak-proof container kept away from anything that could ignite it. Acetone is combustible, so keep it away from hot surfaces and open flames. If you use acetone to clean coins, you can strain any solids out and reuse it. You can also dispose of it at a hazardous waste facility in the proper containers. This is a very important part of acetone disposal. Even after you throw away and store all products, washing your hands is critical to your health. You don’t want that harmful chemical on your hands while you eat during your lunch break! Scrub your hands with soap and water after handling nail polish remover. If possible, step outside for a breath of fresh air. You need a break from the salon chemicals or you may experience symptoms such as dizziness and headaches. When you’re not using an acetone product, close it securely. If it’s a bottle of nail polish remover, make sure the cap is screwed on tightly enough so it...

Put the cover back on the rice pot, and place the pot some place where it won't be disturbed. This will give the rice enough time to soak up the flavors from the coconut milk mixture. Start by peeling the mango. If your mango is ripe enough, you should be able to nick the skin with your knife, then pull the skin off. Once you have the mango peeled, cut it in half and remove the seed. Cut the mango into thin slices. Repeat this step for the other two mangoes. You can create more servings than just four, but the portions will be smaller. You can set them down right next to the rice, or on top of the rice. If you are placing the slices on top of the rice, to overlap them to create a fan-like shape.

Fill a large pot with 2 cups (450 milliliters) of water and bring it to a boil. Set the seasoned rice aside for one hour. Prepare the mango. Scoop the rice onto four plates. Arrange the mango slices.


Put the eggnog, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Break the eggs into the same bowl. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended. Pour the mixture into a wide, shallow dish. Take a nonstick skillet and coat it with butter or nonstick spray. Put it on the stove over medium heat. If you have an electric skillet, set the temperature to 300 degrees. Cut your French loaf into 12 even pieces. Each piece of bread should be about 1 to 1 1⁄2 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) thick. Take a piece of bread and dip it in the egg mixture. Move the piece of bread around to make sure the side is coated. Flip the piece of bread over, coating the other side in the same way.  You can leave your bread in the mixture anywhere from 10 seconds to 1 minute. The longer you let it set, the more your bread will soak in the mixture. If you like bready French toast, don't let it soak too long. If you like moist French toast, let it soak longer. You can cut your pieces either thickness. The thicker the piece, the more bready your piece of French toast will be. Depending on how long your loaf is, you may have leftover bread. Take your coated bread and place it into your pan. Let it cook on this side until it is golden brown. Flip the bread over. Let it cook on this side until it is golden brown as well. Remove from the pan and place aside. Continue with each piece of bread until you have made them all. Top with syrup and butter or powdered sugar.  This recipe makes 6 servings. If you want to keep your toast warm while you cook, cover the plate of toast with aluminum foil or place in a warmed oven.

Whisk ingredients. Prepare the pan. Dip the toast. Cook the toast.


Put the graham crackers into a resealable bag with a zipper top. Squeeze out all the air, seal the bag, then use a rolling pin or other heavy object to gently press the crackers into powdery crumbs. Using crushed graham crackers will create a finer crust. You can also just crush graham crackers for the top layer of your cake to create a decadent powdery topping. Slice your mangoes ahead of time and freeze them. Freezing mangoes prevents them from getting overly mushy. Just make sure to freeze them carefully so they don't all stick together. You can actually make these cakes with peaches, strawberries, and pretty much any other similar fruit. You can also use canned fruit that’s been drained, if desired. You can even play around and mix different fruits together.

Put the lid on your pressure cooker and seal it shut. Turn the pressure cooker onto HIGH pressure. This should be 10 PSI. Cook the potatoes for 2 minutes. If you're using a stove top pressure cooker, just cook the potatoes for one minute. Leave the pot on your pressure cooker and release the pressure according to the instructions that came with your pot. When the pressure is removed, take off the lid. Use 12-inch (30 cm) tongs to carefully lift the steamer with the potatoes. Set this on your work space. Throw away any potatoes that fell into the water. If you don't have tongs, you can use a thick oven mitt to pull the steamer basket out by the center prong. Take a paper towel and dab away any moisture on the potatoes. The potatoes should feel a little sticky once you've finished drying them. Check the temperature of the oil in your skillet. Once, it's at 350 degrees F (175 C), you can fry the potatoes. Avoid over handling or wiping the potatoes. Doing so can wipe away starch that helps the potatoes crisp up. Use tongs to place the potatoes in the skillet with oil. They should be in a single layer and there should be space between the potatoes. If you need to, you can fry the potatoes in batches. If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes might become soggy. Fry the potatoes in the hot oil for about a minute so the bottom side becomes brown. Use the long tongs to carefully turn the potatoes over and fry them for about one more minute or until they're golden brown all over. Carefully lift the potatoes out of the skillet and place them on the metal rack on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt according to your taste. You can also season the potatoes with your favorite herbs or spices. Serve the broasted potatoes while they're hot. Consider squeezing fresh lemon over the potatoes and sprinkling them with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of flavor.

Pressure cook the potatoes for 2 minutes. Release the pressure and remove the potatoes. Blot the potatoes dry and check the oil. Arrange the potatoes in the oil. Fry the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and season the broasted potatoes. Finished.


Put the pot of cheese over the lowest heat setting your stove will allow. Always melt cheese at the lowest heat possible. If you apply high heat to cheese, you risk losing the moisture and fat in the cheese, which results in lumpy or greasy cheese. Try not to melt the cheddar any longer than is necessary, since this can result in a rubbery consistency and effect the flavor. Once the cheese melts and reaches a string-like consistency, stir it once more and then remove it from the heat immediately.

Use low heat. Remove the cheese from the heat.


Put the rice in a colander, fine mesh sieve, or pan. Run cool water over the rice to remove extra starch. This will prevent the rice from sticking together and becoming mushy.  If you are using a pan, pour out the water and fill it up again. Rinse it out again once or twice before cooking. If you are using a colander or sieve, gently shake or stir the rice to help drain the water. For every cup of rice, use about 1 ½ or 1 ¾ cups (350 or 400 ml) of water. Short grain rice needs slightly less while brown rice needs slightly more. Avoid adding too much water, however. Too much water may make the rice mushy. Do not turn the heat up. It will not make the rice cook faster. Instead, you might end up with unevenly cooked rice. You might even burn the rice. Just let the water slowly rise to a boil. Once the rice begins to boil, the water should dip just below the rice. When that happens, lay a clean kitchen towel between the pot and the lid. This will prevent condensation from building up in the pot. Too much condensation can make the rice soggy. Do not let the towel hang over the side of the pan. This could start a fire. Instead, tuck the ends up under the lid. Remove the rice from the heat but leave the lid on the pot. Let it sit for 5 minutes. When the time is up, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. The rice is now ready to serve. Resting the rice prevents it from being too soggy on the bottom and too dry on the top. A rice cooker will produce perfect rice every time as long as you use the right amount of water. Rice cookers can be found for fairly cheap at kitchen stores, home goods stores, and online.

Put the sheet in the preheated oven and leave the seeds to dry. They should harden and become slightly wrinkled once they're finished drying. If you prefer, you could use a dehydrator. Read your owner's manual to determine how long to dehydrate common seeds. Make a bold dry rub using equal parts of ground dried papaya seeds, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and garlic powder. You could also add your favorite spices or herbs, such as cumin, curry, or coriander. Massage the flavor rub into steaks, chicken breasts, pork chops, or ribs. Then, toss them on the grill to add a smoky flavor. You can add 1 to 2 teaspoons (2 to 4 g) of ground papaya seeds along with spices and baking powder or baking soda in your baked good recipes. For example, add it to papaya muffins, banana bread, or spice bread. The ground papaya seeds will add a slightly spicy flavor to your baked goods. Consider adding it to savory bread or biscuits too!

Put the shoes on and stand with your feet flat on the floor, and then take a few steps. Check to see which places on the shoe aren’t touching your foot, and decide which parts need to be smaller for the shoes to fit more snugly.  If you bought the shoe in your size, you probably won’t need to shrink the entire shoe. Instead, you’re just going to be focusing on shrinking one area of the shoe at a time. For instance, you may want to make the sides of a canvas shoe slightly smaller so your foot doesn’t slip out while you walk. Dip your fingers into cool water and pat the water onto the shoe. Continue this until the fabric is damp but not dripping wet. Focus the water on the areas that are the most stretched.  Avoid getting water on the insole of the shoe, as this can cause it to become smelly, cracked, or discolored. For a leather or suede shoe, focus the water around the top edge of the shoe, which tends to be the stretchiest area.  Adding water and heat to shoes like patent leather heels, coated leather sneakers, or larger shoes, like boots, won’t be effective for shrinking them. In those cases, you’ll need to use inserts to get a better fit. Hold a blow dryer about 6 inches (15 cm) away from the area where you applied the water. Turn the dryer on and set the heat at the medium level. Leave the dryer on until the fabric is dry to the touch.  Don’t hold the blow dryer too close to the fabric. The concentrated heat from the dryer discolor lighter canvas fabrics. For leather and suede, continuously move the dryer around the top edge of the shoe to heat the leather, causing it to contract and shrink. If the leather starts to smell or crack while you’re applying heat, turn the blow dryer off and let the shoes air dry. Once the area is dry, put the shoe back on your fut and stand up with your feet flat on the floor. Take a few steps to see if the the fabric feels tighter. If it does, your shoe has shrunk.  If it still feels loose, re-apply the water to the area and continue blow drying. If they feel too tight, wear...

Try on the shoes to see which parts need to be smaller. Dab an ill-fitting area of the shoe with water until it is damp but not saturated. Apply heat to the wet fabric with a blow dryer on the medium setting. Put on the shoe to see if the fit has improved. Use leather conditioner to protect leather and suede shoes.


Put the stone in front of your mouth and fog it like you would a mirror. If it stays fogged for a couple seconds, it’s probably a fake — a real diamond disperses the heat from your breath instantaneously and won't fog up easily. Even if you wait in between fogging it up and looking at it, it will still clear much faster than a fake.  It can help to use a stone you know is real next to the suspect stone and fog both. You can watch how the real one stays clear while the fake one fogs over; if you breathe on fake diamonds repeatedly, you will see condensation start to build up. With each puff, the fake stone will fog up more and more, while the real one will still be clean and clear. A real diamond is not likely to be set in a cheap metal. Stamps inside the setting indicating real gold or platinum (10K, 14K, 18K, 585, 750, 900, 950, PT, Plat) are a good sign, while a "C.Z." stamp will give away that the center stone is not a real diamond. C.Z. stands for Cubic Zirconia, which is a kind of synthetic diamond. You can usually borrow one from the jewelry store. Mined diamonds usually have small naturally occurring imperfections, which are called "inclusions," that can be seen with a loupe. Look for small flecks of minerals, or very slight color changes. These are both signs that you're dealing with a real, albeit imperfect, diamond.  Cubic zirconium  (which should pass all of the other tests) usually doesn't have imperfections. That's because they are grown in sterile environments instead of produced by chance in the Earth's laboratory. A gem that is too perfect is more often than not a fake. It is possible, however, that a real diamond will be flawless. Don't use imperfections as the determining factor in whether your diamond is real or not. Rule out fakes using other tests first. Note that lab-grown diamonds will also normally have no imperfections because they are also produced in carefully controlled environments. Gem-quality diamonds grown in a lab can be chemically, physically and optically identical (and...

Put the tomatoes into the boiling water for one minute. The boiling water will loosen the tomatoes skins, thus making them easier to peel. Use the tip of a paring knife or tomato knife to pierce the skin on each tomato. Once there's a hole in the skin, it should slide right off. Discard the skin. Hold the tomatoes over the colander as you remove the seeds. It's not necessary to remove all of the seeds, but your tomato sauces are going to be more appealing without them. Squeeze the tomatoes slightly to remove the juice. Set the meaty portion of the tomatoes aside for now. Put the juice in a container. You can drink it, or you can use it for cooking. You may also freeze it. Smaller pieces thaw quickly and cook into sauce in less time. Remove as much air as possible by sucking air out with a straw as you close the zipper. If you prefer, you may seal the tomatoes with a vacuum sealer. These can be purchased at kitchen supply stores. Place the bags in the freezer.

Boil a large pot of water. Remove the skins. Set a colander inside another large container. Squeeze as much moisture as you can from the seeds in the colander. Cut the remaining tomato pieces into the desired size chunks. Fill zippered plastic freezer bags with the tomato pieces. Flatten the bags as much as possible to maximize storage space.


Put the vegetables, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and chicken stock in the slower cooker. Stir the mixture so everything is combined. Pour the olive oil into a frying pan and place it over medium high heat. Heat the oil until it just begins to smoke. Don't overheat the oil or it will burn. Season them with salt and pepper, then place them in the hot oil. Cook each lamb shank on all three sides, for four minutes on each side. Don't cook the shanks all the way through; just cook them long enough to brown them and bring out their deep flavor. Place them bone-side up in the slow cooker among the vegetables, herbs and stock. Keep the pan in place, since you don't want to waste the drippings. Pour the cup of wine into the hot pan and let it come to a simmer. Scrape off the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add the wine to the slow cooker after 1 minute of simmering. Cook them on high for 6 hours according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the shanks are ready, they should easily fall apart when poked with a fork. Place each one on a plate and ladle some of the vegetable and wine sauce over each one. Serve with potatoes, vegetables or rice.

Put the water in a large pot and add 1 teaspoon (5 g) of salt for flavor. Bring the water to a steady boil over high heat on your stove. Put in more salt if you want to add more flavor. Take the edamame right out of the freezer and put them into the pot. Stir the pods around to mix them in the water. Cook the edamame until the beans inside the pods are tender. Break apart one of the bean pods after about 5 minutes to see if the beans are tender. You may also use fresh edamame if you have it. Set a strainer in your sink and pour your edamame into it. Wait for the boiling water to completely drain out before handling the pods. Be careful–they will be hot! Transfer the edamame into a large serving bowl and sprinkle them with salt to your desired flavor. Break apart the pods and enjoy the delicious beans inside. You can serve edamame hot or let it chill in the fridge for up to 4 hours.

Heat 3 US qt (2,800 ml) of water to a boil. Pour 2 lb (910 g) of frozen edamame pods into the water. Strain the edamame once the beans are tender. Serve the edamame with salt.


Put the wood filler on a piece of plastic or glass so it does not stick or get caught in the material. Make sure the circle is about 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) thick so you have enough to mix initially. The hardening agent will separate in the tube, so firmly squeeze it with your fingers to ensure it is mixed together before you open it. Use a putty knife to stir the filler and the hardener together for about 2 minutes. When it’s thoroughly mixed, it should have a light red color.  The wood filler has a working time of 10 minutes, so only use small amounts at a time. Keep the mixture spread thin so it will have a longer working time. Spread the filler 2 inches (5.1 cm) beyond the problem areas of the wood. Keep a constant pressure on the putty knife so the wood filler completely adheres. Spread the wood filler until you reach the desired thickness. The wood filler will completely set within a half hour in temperatures cooler than 75 °F (24 °C). In warmer temperatures, it may take as little as 10 minutes for it to set.

Pour a 3 in (7.6 cm) diameter circle of wood filler on a non-porous surface. Squeeze the tube of hardener with the cap still on. Put a 3 in (7.6 cm) strip of the hardener on the filler and mix. Apply the filler to the wood with a putty knife with firm pressure. Let the filler dry for 30 minutes.


Put them into a sieve or a colander and take them outside, then stir them around with a wooden spoon (getting the air flowing around them) or pass them from one colander to another. After a minute or so they will have cooled to around room temperature. Alternatively, once you get to know the process, you can stop the roasting prematurely and let them continue to roast the few moments as they cool in a kitchen bowl. Never use water to cool down the beans, as water will affect the oils of the beans that give then their flavour. Put them into a tin with a loose fitting lid and keep away from strong flavors.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Cool the beans quickly as soon as they are finished to stop further cooking. For the best results, rest the beans for at least 24 hours to let the excess C02 escape (called de-gassing).


Put up gold streamers or ribbons. Have silver candle holders and gold balloons. Use metallic serving dishes and utensils to keep with the theme.  You can also arrange metallic furniture like tables and chairs in the venue to add to the theme. Create metallic centrepieces with gold tinsel and silver baubles. Spray paint flowers gold or silver and use them as decoration. No Gatsby party would be complete without feathers and pearls in the room. Drape feather boas on the chairs and tables. Hang strings of pearls around the venue or at the tables. You can then encourage your guests to put on the feather boas and strings of pearls during the party. Set the mood in the venue by having soft, warm lighting like string lights and chandeliers. Put candles on all the tables and light them so they give off a soft, warm light. Use warm light bulbs and dim overhead lights. Make the venue look dark and sparkly using the lighting.

Put your boots on first, then fasten the snowshoes over them one at a time. Position your foot so the ball of your foot is located over the pivot point. Check the entire length of the snowshoe for straps, making sure to tighten each one firmly. You will probably have to widen your stance a bit to accommodate for the width of the each snowshoe, which may give your hips more of a workout than you are used to. Walk at your normal pace, leading with your heel and rolling over the ball, then the toe. If the snow is fresh and powdery, rather than packed down, lift the nose of the snowshoe above the level of the snow with each step. Do not lift your legs higher than you need to, as fully removing the snowshoe from the snow can be tiring. One or two poles can be used to help you maintain your balance and provide additional power, along with an upper body workout. They are especially helpful if you go snowshoeing in deep snow, but some snowshoers who stick to prepared trails don't bother using them. It does not matter whether you use ski poles or snowshoe poles, as long as they are a comfortable length for you to use. This will dig your snowshoe into it, giving you more leverage to climb. If your kicking creates a deep hole rather than a firm step, find a different way up the slope. Many snowshoes have a "heel lift" which can be flipped up between your boot heel and the snowshoe. This provides a more stable support for your legs during steep ascents. Some snowshoes have heel crampons, which dig back into the snow as you lean backward. If you only have crampons or cleats further forward, however, you should keep your weight directly above your feet, so the support digs into the snow as you descend. Try not to swing your legs in long arcs when descending. If you lose your balance, sit down rather than run down the slope. When traversing a slope at the same elevation, rather than traveling up or down, hit the side of the snowshoe into the slope for more support with each step. Lean in the uphill direction to keep...

Strap on your snowshoes. Walk with a wide stance. Lift the nose of the snowshoe up if you need to clear the snow. Use poles to help yourself along (optional). Kick into the snow with your toes if you're going uphill. Know your snowshoes before going downhill. Dig the side of your snowshoe into slopes while walking along them.


Put your car in reverse, and go back 10-12 inches.  Do this very slowly and check your rearview mirror to make sure you don't bump into the car behind you.  Press on your brake and hold your car steady.  Now turn your left blinker on before your next move. Put your car into forward and slowly press on the accelerator.  Your car should begin to turn left.  Do this until your car is at a 45 degree angle in the parking space.  Make sure that you are always checking your side and rearview mirrors.  Press on your brake and steady your car. Go forward slightly, looking to the left and right for oncoming cars.  Drive your car forward until your bumper has passed the car in front of you. Press on the accelerator and go forward as you leave the parking space.  Make sure as you turn your wheel that you do not run into parked cars on your right.

Put your corn (husk and all) inside your microwave. Set the power to “high” and cook for two minutes. When the timer ends, turn the ear of corn over and repeat. The kernels inside should be steaming through the husk by the end. If they aren’t, keep cooking for shorter intervals until the kernels are sufficiently heated. Remember: the ear should be pretty hot at this point, so use a pot holder, kitchen towel, or other safe means to remove it from the microwave. Set it on a cutting board. Slice off the bottom of the ear. You want about a ¼- to a ½-inch (0.6 to 1.2 cm) of the ear’s kernels exposed after slicing off the bottom. If slicing the bottom off didn’t accomplish that on its own, use a knife to pry the leaves loose along your cut. Hold the ear over the cutting board (or, if you’re worried about it rolling off that, use a large bowl instead). Grip it by its top. Start squeezing the ear inside down along the husk so that it comes out of the opened bottom. The corn’s silk should stay inside the husk as the ear itself comes out, but give the kernels a check anyway and peel away any strands that might have stuck.

Microwave the whole thing. Cut off the ear’s bottom. Squeeze the ear out of its husk.


Put your feet up as often as you can during the day and stretch your legs. You should flex your feet, do calf raises, rotate your feet, and wiggle your toes. These stretches and gentle walking can all pump blood back into your feet to prevent swelling. Try to avoid long periods of sitting or standing. If you do, take a five minute walk every hour to keep your blood flowing. If you have to sit for long periods of time, raise your legs for 10 to 15 minutes. Try to elevate your feet above your heart (by sitting in a recliner) and avoid crossing your legs or ankles as you sit. Since pressure on your veins can cause swollen feet, ease pressure on the veins that return blood from your legs. To do this, try sleeping on your left side. Sleeping on the left side can also support kidney function. Don't worry if you wake up and you're on your back or right side. Just roll onto your left side and try to go back to sleep. Don't wear socks or stockings with elastic at the top that can restrict blood flow, especially to your feet or ankles. Instead, wear all-elastic support hose that are made for pregnancy, like compression socks. These can reduce swelling in your feet and will allow for your growing abdomen. You can also find pregnancy support knee-highs and thigh-highs that apply pressure all along the legs. These can encourage the flow of blood to your heart and prevent swelling. By the end of your pregnancy, the ligaments in your body are loosening to prepare for delivery. This may make your regular shoes feel too small since your feet may actually expand. Choose shoes that don't pinch and give your feet some room to grow. Consider wearing shoes made of breathable material (like cloth or leather) that can stretch. Your shoes shouldn't have more than a one-inch heel. Any higher and you could be more prone to falls. High heels also put more pressure on your feet which can make swelling worse. It's important for pregnant women to drink more water than they did when they were not pregnant. Aim to drink 12 to 13 eight-ounce...

Put your foot or hand on the pedal and make the pedal rotate in order to show your child how the pedal works. Point out that when the pedal moves, the wheels also move. Let your child push the pedals with her hands so she can begin to get a feel for the movement. Hold the bike up while you do this so that the wheels can move freely and your child can see the bike in action. Have your child sit in a chair that is roughly the same height as the bike seat. Sit across from your child, facing her. Put your palms at the height of the pedals and have your child place a foot in each of your palms.  Now push your child’s feet up and down in the same movement that she would do if she was pedalling. Once she has gotten a feel for the movement, have your child ‘pedal’ with your hands. Ask your child to lie down on the floor. Lie down across from her so that the bottoms of your feet are touching the bottoms of her feet. Put your feet up in the air (with her feet still touching yours) and begin to pedal like you would on a bike. Have your child try to push your feet in a pedalling motion to help her gain the strength she will need to push the pedals on the real bike. Sit on your bike and slowly pedal so that your child can see how you move your legs (and how the wheels move because of the pedalling you are doing). Try to pedal slowly at first, and then more quickly as your child gains a better understanding of what you are doing. Bring your child to a park where other kids ride bikes. Watching her peers may help your child to compartmentalize the process of pedalling.

Put your golf tee in the ground only slightly. Place your golf ball on your golf tee.  A high tee will allow you to strike the ball on the upswing. Get the most distance from your swing by using a high tee. Stand so that the ball is aligned with your left toe.  Swinging from this stance will allow the largest swing. Make sure the ball isn't beyond your left foot. The further your feet are apart from one another the more range of motion you will have.  This large range of motion will translate into power behind your swing.  Keep your weight equally on both feet. Keep your head behind the ball. Use leverage to put more power behind your shot.  Hold the club higher up, towards the end of the grip, to maximize this leverage.  Gripping the club up high allows for power at the cost of accuracy. Make adjustments to your own body and club size to find the best grip. Shift your weight onto your right foot.  Keep your eye on the ball.  Don't use too much back-swing.  Bring your head further behind the ball. Bring the club down and hit the ball.  Strike the ball from beneath, on the upswing of your club. Make sure the club face is striking the ball directly in the center.

Put your hair in a ponytail at the base of your neck, then loop the ends of your hair around each other to form a bun. Tuck your hair under a stylish summer hat, or a knitted cap in the wintertime. You'll need to smooth out the hair to make it even across the entire neckline. Grab any stray hairs and tuck them up and under as well. Ask your hairdresser if he or she can do something with your haircut to make your hair look shorter, without actually cutting the longest layers. Layers can be very effective in styling your hair to look shorter, even if it's long. If none of these styles suit you, consider just letting your hairdresser cut your hair. Even if you're nervous about a short cut, the great thing about hair is that it always grows back. If you love your natural hair, it's easy to find a wig in a short style that suits your face and matches your hair color. Make sure to get a high-quality wig made of human hair. Synthetic wigs burn easily when you style them with hot tools, and they don’t  last as long. A poor quality wig will often look tacky, unkempt or fake, and it can cause minor skin problems on people with sensitive skin. Synthetic wigs are usually harder to care for and groom.  Each wig should come with instructions on how to wear them and ensure they stay in place. Some require glue to secure them, while others have clips that clip on to your hair at the roots. In any case, ensure that your natural hair is pinned securely and flat on your head. Wear a wig cap if necessary.  Don't forget that some wigs are not waterproof. Check the label for care instructions. Overall remember to have fun with your hair and all the different styles you can wear it.

Put your hands on your lower back. Tilt your self back at the waist, lengthening the muscles. Make sure to keep your knees straight while doing this stretch. After a couple of seconds, return to the starting position. Repeat this stretch 2-10 times. This is a good stretch for back pain. Good news! You get to lie down for this stretch. Get down on your stomach with your arms to your sides and turn your head to one side; that's it for the first part of this stretch. Just relax. Then, after a few minutes, move your arms so your elbows are still at your side but you're balanced on your forearms. Lift up the top half of your body like a seal, resting on your elbows and forearms. Stay in this position for 5-30 seconds, breathing slowly as you do.  Try 2-10 reps for this exercise. Stay as relaxed as possible. This exercise is also good for back pain. Place your feet together on the floor. Bring your hands together and extend them upwards straight above your head, breathing in as you do. Tilt your body to the right side at your waist and hold this position as you breathe in and out 5 times. Do the same on the other side. It's okay if you can't tilt very far right now. You'll get there! One repetition is often enough, but you can do it multiple times if you prefer. Sit up straight in a chair. Tilt your upper body forward until your chest is on your legs (or as close as you can get to it) and reach your arms toward the floor. Don't worry about actually touching your toes; it's important just to stretch as far as you can right now! Stay in this position for 5-30 seconds, then put your arms on your legs to help push yourself back to your starting position. Aim for 2-10 reps of this exercise. Sit on the floor with your feet in front of you. Place the bottoms of your feet together and draw them toward your body so they're about 1 foot (0.30 m) away; your knees should be bent.

Put your jeans on and pull the back of the waistband with one hand to adjust it to the right size. Pinch the extra fabric of the waistband with your free hand and secure it with a large safety pin. Pinch just below the safety pin to pull out the excess fabric and secure it with a straight pin. Continue pinching and pinning down the back seam until there is no more excess to pin and your jeans fit well in the waist and hips.  Be careful not to catch your underwear (or your skin!) when you are placing the pins. Try to pin as far down as you can along the seat of the jeans. The further you go down, the less noticeable the transition from the original thread and your new thread will be. Take the jeans off carefully. Place them face up on a flat surface and pull the front waistband down so you can see the inside of the back waistband where you’ve placed the pins. Mark along the center of the pinned seam with fabric chalk, making sure that it leaves a line on both sides of the seam. Then, take out the pins. If you don’t have fabric chalk handy, you can also use a highlighter. Use a seam ripper to take out the top and bottom row of stitches along the waistband. Remove all the stitching of the two rows on the waistband between the chalk marks, plus 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) on each side. Leave the stitching along the top edge of waistband and the seat of the jeans for now. To make sure you don’t rip out too many stitches, try cutting the first and last stitch you would like to take out. Then, pull at the loose threads to take out all the stitching in between. Take off any belt loops between your two chalk lines. To do this, carefully clip away the thread attaching the belt loop(s) to the waistband. If there are any leftover threads from the belt loop after you remove it, leave them in place. Sewing over these when you reattach it later will help disguise the alteration. Carefully cut the stitching on the top edge of the waistband along the same length where you removed the two rows of waistband stitching. Separate the two...

Put your list of schools together before test day and bring your list to the test center. It’s best to write down the name of the institution, the mailing address, the phone number, and the email address of the registrar.  You’ll only be able to send scores to 4 institutions at the test center on test day. If you want certain schools to receive your scores more quickly than others, prioritize them in the top 4. These schools will receive reports for free. You likely will not need any details beyond the school’s name, but it’s good to have further information ready just in case. Look for your unofficial score at the end of the GRE test on test day. Follow the prompts and choose to send either your most recent GRE score or all of your GRE scores to your 4 institutions. Selecting all scores will forward all of your GRE scores from the last 5 years. If you elect to send your most recent score, an official version of the score revealed to you on test day will be the one sent to your schools. This applies whether you’ve taken the test once or multiple times. Toggle through the drop-down menus to select the institutions you want to get your scores. Schools will be listed under a heading that reads Score Recipient Name and Code. You can also select a department, if desired. This will be listed under Department Name and Code.  You don’t need to designate a department of the school if you are unsure. This step is optional. You don’t need to know any special codes ahead of time. The school’s “code” is for administrative purposes and written right next to the name when you select it. GRE scores sent by this method are available to your selected institutions 10-15 days after your test date. Ask the test administrator for an Unlisted Institution Form if the school you’d like to send your scores to isn’t listed in the system. Fill out this form completely by hand and turn it in before you leave the test center. You’ll need the name of the institution and its mailing address.
