This represents how well the sample mean approximates the population mean. The larger the sample, the smaller the standard error, and the closer the sample mean approximates the population mean. Do this by dividing the standard deviation by the square root of N, the sample size.Standard error = σ/sqrt(n) So for the example above, if this were a sampling of 5 students from a class of 50 and the 50 students had a standard deviation of 17 (σ = 21), the standard error = 17/sqrt(5) = 7.6.

This requires basic carpenter tools and a sheet of .75-inch (19 mm) plywood along with 2 x 4-inch (5.1 x 10.2 cm) by 8 feet (2.4 m) lumber. Use 9 x 4 x 3.5 inches (22.9 x 10.2 x 8.9 cm) for your brick dimensions.  Rip the sheet of 3/4 inch plywood down to 12-inch (30.5 cm) wide x 48-inch (1.2 m) long strips. This will give you 8 bricks per strip, and the entire sheet of plywood will give you a total of 64 bricks. Cut the side forms down to 2 x 4 inches (5.1 x 10.2 cm). You will need 2 pieces at 48 inches (1.2 m) long for each strip. There will be 9 pieces, 9 inches (22.9 cm) in length. Begin nailing the 9-inch (22.9 cm) pieces between the two 48-inch (1.2 M) strips using either double-headed 16 penny concrete form nails or 3-inch (7.65 cm) deck screws. When finished, you should have 8 spaces 4 inches (5.1cm) wide, 9 inches (22.9 cm) long, and 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) deep.  Lay the strips of plywood on a flat level area and spread plastic sheeting over it to keep the concrete from bonding with the plastic. The work area will need to be left undisturbed for at least 24 hours. Place the assembled side form on top of the .75-inch (19 cm) plastic covered plywood strip. Either nail the side forms to the plywood or drive wooden stakes around the sides of the forms to keep the forms from shifting off of the plywood bottom strips. You can use screws for easier removal, if desired. Take care not to stain any concrete bricks.

Make the forms you need to use for the concrete bricks. Assemble the forms with the two 48 inch (1.2 m) pieces laid parallel. Use a spray can of form release oil to aid in stripping the forms after pouring the concrete into the brick molds.


This reservoir is located on the driver’s side toward the rear of the engine compartment. If fluid is low, then you may have a leak. The location of the brake fluid will also help you to locate the general placement of the leak.  Make sure that your car is NOT turned on for this process. Turning on the car would cause the brake fluid to squirt out very quickly and would make the leak hard to control, depending on its severity. If the leak is coming from within a wheel, then you may have to remove the wheel to check for leaks in the lines and calipers. It the car has brake drums it may have a leak in the wheel cylinder. You will have to remove the brake drum to check it. The master cylinder’s placement varies from car to car and will be given in your owner’s manual. If you no longer have a copy, then check online to find the original manual. Sometimes, fluid can leak from a lid that has not been properly fastened.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Open the hood and check the brake fluid reservoir. Verify the leak by checking beneath the car for the presence of brake fluid. Place newspapers on the ground beneath the general location of the leak. Pump the brake pedal to force fluid out through the leak. Crawl underneath the car and look for the spot where fluid is dripping from the brakes. Check the master cylinder for leaks. Verify that the master cylinder lid is tightly closed.


This restrictive endorsement ensures that the check's funds can only be deposited in a bank account in your name. If someone finds your check, they won't be able to do anything with it. This endorsement is effective if you're mailing your check to the bank for deposit, or if you're giving it to someone else to deposit on your behalf. Some banks require you to include the account number where you want the check's funds deposited. Even if it's not required, it might be a good idea if you have more than one bank account at the same bank.  For example, if you have a checking account and a savings account, you would typically want to include the account number for the account you want to use. While you'll also include this information on the deposit slip, it helps to also put it on the check in case the two get separated. Additionally, checks deposited using an ATM or a mobile app may not have deposit slips. Because it's a security risk, if you're traveling to the bank to deposit the check in person, wait until you get there to write your account number on the check. Once you've included the deposit restriction, sign the check as you normally would, using a pen with blue or black ink. Signing below the restrictions gives them effect – if you sign above the restrictions, they aren't considered valid. You can place your account number below your name. The account number just tells the bank where to deposit the funds from the check. Some banks prefer that you put your account number under your name. Once you've completed a restrictive endorsement, you can deposit it at any time. There's no worry of someone else taking the check, because a bank won't process it for anyone other than you.  If you give the check to someone else to deposit for you, put the check in a sealed envelope only to be opened by the teller. Make sure the person taking the check to the bank for you is someone you trust. When using a mobile banking app to deposit your check, some banks require this restrictive endorsement. Without it, someone could...

Write "For Deposit Only" on the top endorsement line. Include your bank account number. Sign the check below your restrictions. Deposit the check at your bank.


This ribbon should be 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) wide, since it will be forming the base of the bow. Measure the ribbon out with a ruler, and use scissors to cut the ribbon to the specified length. This ribbon is thinner, and should be 0.375 inches (0.95 cm) wide. Ribbons of all widths, colors, and patterns can be found at a craft store.  For a classic Minnie Mouse look, use a red-and-white polka dot ribbon for the larger piece and a plain red ribbon for the smaller piece. Other looks that Minnie has sported include pink-and-white polka dot bows and plain pink bows. Choose the ribbon color and pattern that will best match the rest of your Minnie Mouse costume.

This rule applies to everyone: there are no exceptions to who does and does not have the right to give or withhold consent for physical contact. That said, girls' bodies are more notoriously objectified. Show her respect by acknowledging her right to decide who touches her body, and when and how they do it. Note that this does not extend to allowing anyone to decide that you have to touch them. You also have the right to say no if you are not comfortable with the contact. Society often seems disconnected from the concept of consent. Most people understand that if consent is not given, then you should not touch, or continue to touch, a girl. Somehow, though, many of these same people also believe that the validity of a girl’s objection to being touched is dependent on a host of other factors (e.g. how she is dressed, how much she likes you, etc.). This is not true. “No,” means no, period. This is not limited to romantic situations. The rule extends to any physical contact. You should not compare a girl’s body to other girls' bodies. This can be seen as a direct insult to either, or both, of the girls you are comparing. Even if you are not talking about the girl who’s listening, saying things about other girls’ bodies can imply that you are talking about her body as well.  It is okay to compliment a girl on her looks, but do it respectfully. “I think you are beautiful,” is much more respectful than saying “You’re hot.” Rather than complimenting a girl on an aspect she can't change, like her eyes, compliment her on something she has control over, like her rad shoes. Sometimes, a girl might not want your attention. In these cases, you should respect her wishes and leave her alone. If she tells you that she would rather be left alone, it is disrespectful to continue to talk to her, compliment her, or otherwise pursue her attention. If a girl indicates that she wants to be left alone, then you can just say something like, "Sorry. I'll leave," or "Okay, have a good day," and then leave.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Ask for permission before touching another person. Understand that “No” does mean no. Be mindful of comments that affect her body image. Know when to leave a girl alone.


This saying is a cliché, but it’s also true: life is as much about how you get where you’re going as where you go. Living your life to the fullest is a process that will take you your whole life to develop. Don’t get frustrated if it takes you a while to learn some things, or if you experience setbacks. This is a natural part of life. Dishonesty saps away energy and happiness. When we aren’t honest with ourselves, we hold ourselves back from learning and growth. When we aren’t honest with others, we damage trust and intimacy. We may be dishonest for a variety of reasons. Research has shown that sometimes we lie because we’re jealous and want to hurt others. Sometimes, we lie because we’re afraid we will be hurt if we reveal the truth, or we’re afraid of a confrontation. It can be hard to be honest, especially with yourself, but doing so will help you live a fuller, richer life. All too often, we spend a lot of time looking at what we don’t like about ourselves, what we’d like to change, what we think should be different. Spending all your time focused on what you don’t like or what happened in your past means that you aren’t able to focus on your future. Make a conscious decision to learn to love yourself, just as you are. Make a list of your strengths. What are you good at? These can be lofty achievements, such as inventing a new technology, or “everyday” skills, such as being friendly to others. Paying attention to what your strengths are can help you continue to develop them without focusing on yourself as a “failure.” Your core values are the beliefs that shape who you are and how you live your life. They may be spiritual beliefs or simply deeply-held beliefs that are important to you. Reflecting on your values will help you set goals for yourself that are “value-congruent,” meaning in line with your values. You are more likely to feel fulfilled and happy when you’re living in accordance with your values. Stand up for what you believe in and don’t let others push you around. It's possible to do this and...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Recognize that life is a journey, not a destination. Be honest with yourself and others.  Learn to accept yourself. Determine your values. Challenge negative self-talk. Embrace flexibility. Care for your body. Learn mindfulness. Stop “shoulding” yourself.


This section helps you solve problems that include expressions in the form loga(xy){\displaystyle \log _{a}({\frac {x}{y}})}. For example, start with this problem:"Solve for n if log3(276n)=−6−log3(6){\displaystyle \log _{3}({\frac {27}{6n}})=-6-\log _{3}(6)}." The logarithm of a negative number is undefined. If x or y are a negative numbers, confirm that the problem has a solution before you continue:  If either x or y is negative, there is no solution to the problem. If both x and y are negative, remove the negative signs using the property −x−y=xy{\displaystyle {\frac {-x}{-y}}={\frac {x}{y}}}  There are no logarithms of negative numbers in the example problem, so you can continue to the next step. One useful property of logarithms is described by the formula loga(xy)=loga(x)−loga(y){\displaystyle \log _{a}({\frac {x}{y}})=\log _{a}(x)-\log _{a}(y)}. In other words, the log of a quotient is always equal to the log of the numerator minus the log of the denominator.  Use this to expand the left side of the example problem:log3(276n)=log3(27)−log3(6n){\displaystyle \log _{3}({\frac {27}{6n}})=\log _{3}(27)-\log _{3}(6n)}  Substitute this back into the original equation:log3(276n)=−6−log3(6){\displaystyle \log _{3}({\frac {27}{6n}})=-6-\log _{3}(6)}→log3(27)−log3(6n)=−6−log3(6){\displaystyle \log _{3}(27)-\log _{3}(6n)=-6-\log _{3}(6)} If any of the new logarithms in the expression have an integer answer, simplify them now.  The example problem has a new term: log3(27){\displaystyle \log _{3}(27)}. Since 33 = 27, simplify log3(27){\displaystyle \log _{3}(27)} to 3. The full equation is now:3−log3(6n)=−6−log3(6){\displaystyle 3-\log _{3}(6n)=-6-\log _{3}(6)} Just like any algebra problem, it helps to isolate the term with the variable on one side of the equation. Combine like terms whenever possible to simplify the equation.  3−log3(6n)=−6−log3(6){\displaystyle 3-\log _{3}(6n)=-6-\log _{3}(6)}9−log3(6n)=−log3(6){\displaystyle 9-\log _{3}(6n)=-\log _{3}(6)}log3(6n)=9+log3(6){\displaystyle...

This section should include an attention getting opening and general information about your topic. The information you provide in your introduction outline should gradually become more specific as you progress through its subsections. The last subsection of your introduction outline should be your thesis statement.  Under the first sub-point, write a sentence that introduces the essay topic while also grabbing the reader's attention. A shocking fact or anecdote is a great way to start.   The second sub-point should describe the topic, history of the issue, background, or problem being explored. Keep this section brief, but include the information that your readers will need to know in order to understand your paper.   The final sub-point should be your thesis statement. State the idea or argument that you plan to discuss in your essay. The body of your essay should be the largest part of your essay, so you will want to devote at least three subsections to this portion of your outline.  Do not label each point as "main point." Instead, directly write out the point being explored. Under each main point, you should write supporting evidence to back the point up. Give each piece of supporting evidence its own line and sub-section. Then, write out an explanation analyzing the evidence and showing how it supports your claims. If desired, you could also include a sentence that transitions into your next major point at the end of each "main idea" section. This is not strictly necessary, though. If you're writing your outline to fulfill an assignment, you should always go back over your assignment sheet or rubric to make sure you fulfilled all of the requirements. Double check that your work completely satisfies your instructor's expectations so you'll get full credit!

This section will give you a few ideas on how to decorate the lid of your box. You don't have to use all of these ideas. Instead, choose one or two that you like the best. Even if the rest of the box is plain, you can easily make it suitable for any occasion depending on what you put on top of it. Choose a ribbon that matches the height of your lid. Most listed will be about an inch (2.54 centimeters) tall. You can also use rickrack or flat (non-ruffled) lace. Place some fabric glue around all four sides of the lid. Do not put any glue on top of the lid. Then, press the ribbon down onto the glue. Let the glue dry before doing anything else, such as placing a gift inside the box or tying a ribbon around the box.  If you want a layered look, glue a thinner ribbon right over the wider one. Just make sure that the thinner ribbon is centered over the wider ribbon. Washi tape, scrapbook tape, or any other colored/patterned tape will work as well. Skip the glue, and just run the tape around all four sides of the lid. This will also work great on round or hexagonal lids as well. After you have placed the gift inside the box and tied a ribbon, tuck some embellishments just behind the ribbon. Try to match the embellishments to the theme of the event. If necessary, secure the embellishment with hot glue or clear tape. For example, if the box is for a Christmas gift, you could do any of the following:  If the box has a blue or winter theme, loop a silver or white glittery snowflake around the ribbon. If the box has a more rustic feel to it, snip a small branch off of your Christmas tree and tuck it behind the bow. You can also use a cinnamon stick instead. If the box has a more traditional feel to it, you could tuck a small pine branch behind the bow, and add a tiny glass ornament; the ornament shouldn't be larger than 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) or so in diameter. For a sweet tooth, you might want to stick a candy cane behind the bow. If you want to add a more festive touch, look a jingle bell ornament over the top of the...

Consider decorating the lid. Keep the occasion in mind. Glue colored ribbon around the sides of the lid. Add some embellishments to the ribbon. Consider layering paper cutouts if you are into scrapbooking. Glue down some scrapbooking embellishments onto the lid. Paint the lid with chalkboard paint, and write the person's name on the lid in chalk. Give the lid some texture. Keep kids and doodlers happy by taping some crayons to the lid of a blank box.


This section will give you a few, simple ideas on how to decorate your box. You don't have to use all of them. You can choose one or two that appeal to you the most or none at all. Permanent markers are cheaper and easier to use, but paint pens are more opaque and will show up against patterns and dark colors. You can write simple messages, such as "Happy Birthday" or "Love." You can also draw random designs, such as hearts, spirals, and swirls. Here are some ideas:  If the gift box is for a birthday present, use bright colors (or the receiver's favorite colors). Write "Happy Birthday" all over the box. Consider drawing some balloons, tiny stars or confetti, and spirals. If the box is for a holiday, use colors and symbols that match the holiday. For example, if the gift box is for Halloween, use orange and black for the colors. Draw some pumpkins, black cats, or bats. You can use regular rubber stamps and an ink pad. You can also cut your own stamps out of thin sponges and use tempera paint for the ink.  Try using different sized stamps. For example, use the larger stamps (such as trees) towards the bottom, and smaller stamps (such as stars) towards the top. Consider using different colors of ink or paint. Most gift wrap has a set, repeating pattern. Your gift box doesn't have to have that; the stickers can be all random. If you want to mimic the look of gift wrap, however, arrange your stickers in a grid or checkered pattern (as opposed to randomly). Also, try to use only one or two shapes; this will make your gift box look interesting, but also refined. For example:  For a winter themed gift box, you can alternate large blue snowflakes with small silver snowflakes. For a fall themed gift box, you could alternate red or gold leaves with orange pumpkins. For a summer or spring themed gift box, you could alternate butterflies and flowers. Take the lid off first, and then paint each piece separately. You can use acrylic paint and apply it with a foam brush or a paint brush. You can also use spray paint. If you...

This seems obvious, but it’s also very important. Biting your nails is a sure way to keep them from growing long and strong. If you have a tendency to chomp your nails, there are a few things you can try to help curb the habit while also letting your nails grow:  Add some bitter polish to your nails. You can buy bite-discouraging polishes in many pharmacies or online. Distract yourself with another habit or activity. For example, if you feel the urge to bite your nails, try playing with a stress ball or chewing a piece of sugar-free gum, instead. Avoid common biting triggers as much as you can. For example, you might have a tendency to bite your nails when you’re bored or stressed, so try doing something relaxing or enjoyable for a few minutes if you feel the urge to nibble. When your nails get wet, they become soft and weak. Keep your nails as dry as possible while you’re growing them out so that there’s less risk of tearing them while they’re wet.  For example, after showering or going for a swim, make sure to pat your nails dry right away. Try wearing gloves if you need to wash the dishes, scrub a counter, or do any other cleaning that involves getting your hands wet. While it’s important to keep your nails from getting too wet, they can also become brittle and cracked if they get too dry. Keep the skin around your nails well-hydrated by moisturizing your hands and cuticles daily.  Petroleum-based moisturizers, such as Vaseline and Aquaphor, are some of the most effective at keeping your hands hydrated. You can also protect and hydrate your delicate cuticles with plant-based cuticle oils, such as apricot oil, cocoa butter, or sweet almond oil. It’s especially important to moisturize in the winter or after using harsh or drying products, like nail polish remover. into a natural shape. Filing your fingernails properly can help prevent snags, breaks, and tears. Use a file to shape your nails into a slightly rounded or squared-off shape.  To prevent ragged edges, file your nails in a fluid motion, moving in...

This setting may be marked with the word “OHM” (the unit for resistance) or the Greek letter omega (Ω), the abbreviation for ohm. If your unit has an adjustable resistance range, set the range to 1000 ohm = 1K or higher. Again, connect the red lead to the positive (longer) terminal and the black lead to the negative (shorter) terminal. Write down the initial resistance value, if you wish. The value should soon revert to what it was before you connected the leads. You should see the same results as on the first test. If you do, the capacitor is good. If, however, the resistance value does not change on any of the tests, the capacitor is dead.

This setup helps you easily keep track of operations when using the foil method. For example, if you are multiplying 2x−7{\displaystyle 2x-7} and 5x+3{\displaystyle 5x+3}, you would set up the problem like this:(2x−7)(5x+3){\displaystyle (2x-7)(5x+3)} A binomial is an algebraic expression with two terms. The FOIL method does not work when multiplying trinomials, or a binomial by a trinomial.  A term is a single number or variable, such as 3{\displaystyle 3} or x{\displaystyle x}, or it could be a multiplied number and variable, such as 3x{\displaystyle 3x}.  Read Multiply Polynomials for instructions on multiplying other types of polynomials. For example, you could NOT multiply (2x−4)(3x2−2x+8){\displaystyle (2x-4)(3x^{2}-2x+8)} using the FOIL method, because the second expression is a trinomial, with three terms. You could multiply (2x−7)(5x+3){\displaystyle (2x-7)(5x+3)}, because both expressions are binomials, with two terms each. Most algebra problems will already be arranged this way, but if not, make sure the first term in each expression contains the variable, and the second term in each expression contains the coefficient.  Setting up the problem this way makes simplifying easier. A coefficient is a number without a variable. For example, you would change (2x−7)(3+5x){\displaystyle (2x-7)(3+5x)} to (2x−7)(5x+3){\displaystyle (2x-7)(5x+3)}.

This setup results in a brightly illuminated glass object, with black lines creating a silhouette-like effect. Color and detail are generally easier to emphasize compared to the white-line setup, and the bright lighting can make weak reflections and glare invisible. Place the glass in a black photo box if you have one, or surround it with black matte barriers underneath, behind, and to each side of the object. Pull these side barriers close together, or use additional barriers, to block light from the front and leave only a small gap for your camera lens.  You can hold off on completely enclosing the area until after the setup below is complete, but keep this final goal in mind. You may need to use a "ceiling" for the area as well, if reflections are getting in over the top of the walls. This can be white or grey; the brighter the light source you'll be using, the darker this panel can be. Set this up directly behind the object from the perspective of the camera, and make it no wider than the object itself. If the panel is too wide, you could end up with white reflections or lens flare interfering with the clean, silhouetted appearance. You can use a specialized diffuser, or imitate the effect by covering your light source with a white tissue. Point this at the background panel. Use flags or barriers if necessary to avoid illuminating the glass directly. You're going for a soft "spotlight" effect on the background, which will in turn send light through the glass toward the camera. You can also try illuminating the glass directly from behind, sending the light through a sheet of white acrylic or a transparent canvas. This setup may be more difficult to adjust. Photograph the glass, and take a look at the result. If you aren't satisfied, adjust the brightness of the light source, or use additional photo flags or barriers to eliminate undesirable reflections.

Use the black-line technique to show color and detail. Surround the glass with black barriers. Add a pale panel directly behind the object. Illuminate the background with diffuse lighting. Experiment with your photographs.


This shape is known among paper crafters as a waterbomb base. The current orientation of your paper should be so that your X crease divides your paper into four quadrants, you have three horizontal folds from running from left to right sides, a diamond shaped crease, and two outside vertical creases from top to bottom. Take your left and right quadrants and:  Tuck the paper inward, toward the center. The folds that you have previously made should allow the paper to collapse into the shape of a triangle. Crease your waterbomb base sharply. A squash fold is where you fold your paper up into the air and then smush it down to form a crease that often reveals some of the opposite side of the paper's color (in this case, white). Along the inside of your triangular waterbomb base, there should be creases in the shape of an upside down triangle. From the downward facing point of that inner triangle:  Pull the bottom edge of your waterbomb base up so that the downward facing point of your inner triangle is touching the upward point of your waterbomb base. As you pull the bottom of your paper toward the top, you may need to pull the corners of your triangle inward.  Turn over your paper and repeat the process. At this stage, your paper should be a solid triangle shape on top, with two "legs" at the bottom of the triangle that are unconnected. The creases you form here will turn into locks that hold your papers together into a single design. Use a squash fold by lifting the bottom of one leg of your paper so that it's bottom folds in line with the bottom edge of the base of the triangle at the top of your paper.   Repeat this process with the other leg of the same side of your paper, then turn your paper over and then perform this fold again. The squash fold you use to crease your locks will create small triangles that have points facing out to the left and right. After you have creased the folds of your locks, you'll need to unfold these so that your paper returns to its previous shape: two rectangular legs and a...

This sheet will house your main BEP (Break Even Point) chart. You don't have to rename it to "BEP," but it will be easier to navigate your workbook if you do. For the purposes of this example, create your sheet using the following layout:  A1: Sales - This is the label for the Sales section of the spreadsheet. B2: Price Per Unit - This will be the price you charge for each item you sell. B3: Units Sold - This will be the number of units you have sold at the specified price in a set timeframe. A4: Costs - This is the label for the Costs section of the spreadsheet. B5: Variable Costs - These are the costs of your product that you have control over (shipping, commission rates, etc.) B6: Fixed Costs - These are the costs of your product that you don't have control over (facility rent, insurance, etc.) A7: Revenue - This is the amount of money selling your products generates before costs are considered. B8: Unit Margin - This is the amount of money you make per unit after costs are considered. B9: Gross Margin - This is the total amount of money you make for all the units sold after costs. A10: BEP - This is the label for the Break Even Point section of the spreadsheet. B11: Units - This is the number of units you need to sell to match your cost outlay.

This should always be the ending inventory value from the previous reporting period. If you are a retailer, this number will consist of the cost of all the merchandise in your stock that you plan on selling to customers. If you are a manufacturer of goods, this number will consist of three kinds of inventory: raw materials (all of the materials used to manufacture the product); works-in-progress (items that are in process but aren’t completely finished); and finished goods (completed products that are ready for sale). For this example, assume the ending inventory value from the previous period was $17,800. This figure can be obtained by adding up the amounts from each invoice for products received during the month. Products received, but not yet invoiced from the vendor, should be priced according to the purchase order. If you are a manufacturer, this includes the cost of all raw materials purchased for manufacture into a finished product received during this recording period. Assume your total raw material purchases total $4,000 and finished product inventory purchases for the period are $6,000 for the purpose of this example. Including indirect and direct labor costs to calculate cost of goods sold only applies to manufacturing and mining companies. Calculate the wages and salaries of all manufacturing employees plus the cost of their benefits. Typically, wholesalers or resellers will not include the cost of labor in this figure, as it cannot be properly charged to the "cost" of the goods.  For manufacturers, include all direct labor (those employees directly involved with building merchandise out of the raw materials) and indirect labor (employees who serve a necessary factory function, but not one directly involved with the manufacturing of goods). Administrative expenses are not included. For this example, manufacturing labor costs of $500 per person x 10 people for this period were $5,000. For manufacturers only, containers, the cost of freight, and the cost of overhead expenses like rent, heat, light,...

This should be a donut-shaped object directly on the back of the speaker cone. You will need to have this information when selecting the right shield. This can be any magnetic metal large enough to cover the back of the magnet.  Consider the most readily available materials first. Common steel items like pipe-caps for air ducts or electrical steel junction boxes will do the job nicely. Best of all, you can find them at any hardware store. Special products may be purchased which are designed especially to shield speaker magnets. They are just thick enough to shield the magnet, but are also thin enough to be cut with scissors for just the right shape. Use a strong adhesive tape to bind your shield to the speaker.

This should be a last resort, because it can set a negative tone to the interactions between a mother and potential father. Even if you don't believe you are the father, if there is any chance you could be, you should try to preserve a respectful relationship with the child's mother. Unfortunately, sometimes legal action is your only option. If a mother refuses to determine paternity, a court can order a paternity test in order to gain visitation or custody rights, or to prove you are not the father in a situation where your name appears on the birth certificate. Laws vary by state, but in most states if you have signed an establishment of paternity and are paying child support or otherwise supporting a child that you believe is not your biological child, you can take certain steps.  In most states, you must file what is called a "Disestablishment of paternity" or "termination of child support obligation" in the circuit court that has jurisdiction over your child support ruling. You can find out your state-specific rights by contacting an attorney familiar with your jurisdiction. While mothers receive default custody under the law, fathers' rights are also important in the eyes of the law. Knowing your rights will help you determine the proper course of action.  In most states, you have the right to file a paternity case if you are not listed on the birth certificate or acknowledgement of paternity (a form that is usually completed by parents in the hospital at the time of birth). In some states such as Texas, if another man is listed as the child's father on the birth certificate, you can only file a paternity case if it has been 4 years or less since the birth; be sure to check your local laws. You can find out your state-specific rights by contacting an attorney familiar with your jurisdiction. Whether you are wanting to establish or disestablish your paternity of a child, the nuances of paperwork, court filings, and court appearances can be complicated. It helps to have a professional on your side who...

This should be a statement about the overall success of the work. Did it accomplish the creator’s goal or purpose? If so, how did it achieve this success? If not, what went wrong? While you should have already presented evidence for your claims in the body paragraphs, you should provide a short restatement of your key reasons here. This could be as simple as one sentence that says something like “Because of the researcher’s attention to detail, careful methodology, and clear description of the results, this article provides a useful overview of topic X.” Your assignment or prompt will usually say if recommendations are appropriate for the critique. This element seems to be more common when critiquing a research article or media item, but it could also apply to critiques of creative works as well. How you present these will depend on your instructor’s preferences and the style (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) that is appropriate to your discipline. However you format this list, you should always include all the sources you used in your critique.

This should be a wooden bed frame with solid posts at both ends of the bed. Buy four large 2x2 pieces of lumber. Screw them into the bed frame, or attach them. They should be standing upwards now, surrounding your bed. Attach curtain rods between the posts. This should ideally be a see-through, or translucent fabric. Ideally, the fabric must be cut so that it covers the whole top of the canopy made by the lumber, as well as the front and back.  The sides should be saved for curtains.  Measure the areas and cut the fabric accordingly. If you don't want to bother, cover both sides with the canopy just like you would for the front and back.  In the sides, however, make a cut in the fabric to serve as curtains, and hem the sides.  The edges should also be hemmed too. You can also sew the hem with lace, if you'd like. Enjoy your new bed!

This should be done by cleaning it with warm, fresh water and soap and/or antiseptic wash. Cold water can be used if no warm water is available, but this will be more painful for the victim. If the victim is in extreme pain, it may not be possible to perform this step. If no clean water or antiseptic wash is available, it is best to leave the wound alone until it can be washed. Using dirty water could do more harm than good by increasing the victim's risk of infection. This could be especially dangerous if the wound is deep. This should be done once the victim is at home or at a medical facility. Use very warm or hot water and allow the body part to soak for 30 to 90 minutes.   Be sure to use a clean vessel and clean, fresh water for soaking the injured body part. This will help prevent further risk of infection. Warm water can denature the proteins in the venom. Try to use water as hot as 113°F (45°C). This will promote healing and prevent infection. Unless otherwise instructed by a medical professional, wash the injured area at least once a day and apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to the wound. A commonly used antibiotic ointment readily available in the U.S. is Neosporin triple-antibiotic. Numerous generic versions of this also exist in pharmacies and convenience stores. These ointments are for topical use only. These over-the-counter drugs (those available without a doctor's prescription) serve to reduce swelling and pain. Skip this step if the victim is vomiting or allergic to such medication.  Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications are those that contain ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen; they are available in a variety of brand options (such as Advil, Motrin, and Aleve) and can be found at any pharmacy in the U.S. and most other countries. Note that anti-inflammatory medications will not speed the healing process; they simply provide relief from pain and discomfort. Remember that stingray venom in particular is thought to have anti-coagulation effects, especially in large doses. If...

This should be done outdoors in an open, safe place with no fire hazards. Make sure the fire is large enough that it will completely burn the flag. The flag should be folded properly as if it was going to be stored. Have a moment of silence and reflect on the flag and what it symbolizes. Bury the ashes of the flag in a respectful location.

This should be easy, as you have just ironed them into place.  Again, put your pins in horizontally all the way down the side of the seam so that they can be easily removed while you are sewing.  The frayed edge should now be concealed between the two pieces of fabric and the outer edge is just the neat row of your first set of stitches. You need this amount of allowance so that the frayed edge of the fabric is tucked away neatly between the two seams. As you sew, remove the pins. Once again, remember to clip threads and remove any stray pins after sewing the seam.  If your seam allowance is too small on the second seam, the rough edges of the fabric could end up sticking out of the second seam on the finished side of your project.  Its better to be cautious and make your seam allowance a bit generous. Press the seam to one side, depending on where you would like it to lay in your finished project. Your raw edges are no longer exposed as they are enclosed inside your newly made French seam.

Pin your fabric so that the wrong sides of your fabric are be facing out. Sew your second seam, this time using a 3/8 inch seam allowance. Iron the completed double seam one more time.


This should be listed in your loan contract or investment documents. Interest rates may also compound quarterly (4 times per year), monthly, or weekly. If your compounding rate is anything other than annually, you should go to annualizing a compounding interest rate to calculate your rate. Credit cards, for example, may advertise monthly interest rates, like 1 or 2 percent, but they have to show borrowers the annualized rate when they sign credit contracts. This will be listed as the annual percentage rate, or APR, on the contract. This is the amount of interest earned or paid each period. Again, this can be weekly, monthly, or quarterly. For example, you might pay 1 percent per month in credit card interest. This is your period interest rate.  For the purposes of calculating the annualized rate, you will have to know your period interest rate expressed as a decimal. You can find this value by dividing the stated period interest rate by 100. For example, 1 percent would be 1/100, or 0.01. This is the number of interest periods there are in one year. For a stated monthly interest rate, there would be 12 period in a year. Similarly, a loan or investment using a weekly interest rate would have 52 periods in a year and one with a quarterly rate would have 4. Alternately, a bond payment may make semiannual interest payments. This would be 2 payment period per year. The annualized percentage rate can be calculated using the following formula: n∗r{\displaystyle n*r}. In the formula, n represents the number of periods in the year and r represents the period interest rate.  For example if you were quoted a rate of 1 percent per month (r=0.01, n=12), compounded annually, your annualized interest rate is 12∗0.01=0.12{\displaystyle 12*0.01=0.12} (or 12%). This calculation should be used if the rate compounds annually, rather than quarterly, monthly, or some other frequency.

Determine whether or not your interest rate compounds annually. Find out the period interest rate. Determine the number of periods in a given year. Calculate the annualized percentage rate.


This should be non-slip and soft but supportive. Firm (but not hard) earth or the surface of an arena or indoor school is fine. Find a level surface, neither up or downhill, for minimum impact on the limbs.  Avoid hard surfaces such as tarmac or concrete, since these have no "give" and the concussive force of the hoof hitting the ground will be transmitted back up through the limb and possibly worsen the injury. A softer more supportive surface has a greater cushioning effect and absorbs some of those concussive forces. However, avoid excessively soft substrates such as muddy ground, since these tug and pull on the leg and are hard work for the horse to walk on and maintain balance. While it might seem obvious how to lead and hand walk a horse, you need to address safety factors before walking an injured horse. This includes having the right equipment for the type of injury your horse has and for their temperament.  The halter: For docile horses a halter is sufficient restraint but make sure it is in good repair with no frays or tears that could break if the horse pulls hard. Also, make sure it is a good fit and not too loose so that the horse can pull out of it.  The lead rope: Again, make sure it is in good repair and not liable to snap when put under force. Twisted cotton or nylon rope is a good choice for a lead rope, but these can cause friction burns if pulled through your hands so it's best to wear gloves. Never loop the rope around your hand, since if the horse pulls the tightening looks could break your fingers. Instead, with the horse to your right, hold the rope about a foot below the buckle in your right hand, allow some slack rope and grip the far end with your left hand. This allows you to let go with your right hand if necessary, without letting go of the horse. Do not be tempted just to hold the halter. If the horse jerks its head up this could dislocate your shoulder. Consider taking the horse out before a feed, then he's more likely to stop and graze than want to tank off and pull you over....

Choose a suitable surface to walk the horse on. Have the right equipment for walking an injured horse. Pick the right time of day to take the horse out. Consult a vet before walking an injured horse.


This should be obvious, but the best way to assure your notes are reflective of the testing material is to attend all lectures and class periods regularly.  Remember, an open book exam is not just memorizing material; it's striving to genuinely understand it. Each professor and teacher has a unique area of focus when it comes to covering reading materials. You can't replicate your instructor's preferences by studying the reading materials alone. You need to attend class. If you do not understand something, note this. Many people will make a notation, such as a big question mark to indicate an area which you do not understand. Leave a section in your notes to be filled in later. Ask other classmates or email your professor if you're struggling to understand this concept.  It is OK not to be clear on something--a good teacher will be happy that you have questions. If you are still foggy on an area, it's also good to know that. If you have a choice of essay questions, it is good to be able to ascertain quickly which topic to write on.   If your instructor talks fast, consider recording the lectures--with his or her permission first, of course. While you are probably unable to take recordings into a lecture hall, you can always listen after the lecture to try and better catch the material. Some teachers will actually record lectures so that you can review or make up classes, too. In the event you have to miss due to illness or emergency, have a friend or fellow classmate whose notes you can borrow. Ask someone you know is a good note taker and dedicated student rather than someone who misses frequently and appears disengaged in class. You don't want to walk into your exam with a stack of papers covered in random facts and figures. Organize your notes during lectures and then again while prepping for the exam.  Use a system of enumerating and indenting your notes. Many people use roman numerals, using capital letters for headings and lower case for subheadings (e.g., IV and i.v.). Date all of your notes. That way,...

This should be on some sturdy location on your front bumper, as that's where the tow bar will be attaching to the back of your towing vehicle. Make sure that your tow bar will sit properly on your front bumper. This means  that you'll want to put the tow bar up against the bumper and see that it fits comfortably.  You also want to test that there's enough room, on the width of the bumper, to drill your holes to attach the bar. This may require the help of a friend. You'll want to make sure the tow bar is perfectly parallel. It's best if you have a second pair of hands to hold the other side. You may have to remove the interior boot trim of your vehicle or your side panels. Make sure that you're attaching it directly to your bumper. Any free-hanging paneling that protects the front end of your car will be in the way of your strongest mounting point. Putting holes in your car can be dangerous, and you also may cause costly damage to your vehicle if you aren't careful. Before picking up any tool, make sure you know exactly what you'll be doing with it. You don't want to accidentally drill into your radiator or cause any electrical damage.  Create a one-inch cross of tape at your place of drilling. This will prevent the drill from sliding off your intended entry point. Use a hammer and a sharp centre punch to create a light indentation in your bumper. Your drill bit will rest on this point when it enters your vehicle. If you have no experience drilling metal, or if you feel nervous that you will damage your car, you can seek assistance in attaching your tow bar. While you may have to pay someone to help you with this drilling, you don't want to make a mistake and make costly damage to your vehicle. You'll be threading the bolts through the holes of the tow bar and into the chassis of the vehicle. For those maybe unfamiliar with the term, the chassis of a car refers to its frame. In this case, the chassis relates to the undercarriage of the front bumper of the car.  Start by drilling a hole smaller than your bolt...

This should be your pet's main source of nutrition. Look at the first five ingredients listed on the pet food label. These ingredients make up the majority of the food. Meat (not meat by-products) and vegetables should be the first few ingredients in the dog food. Lower down the list may be meat by-products and grains.  Avoid common filler ingredients in dog food that may actually harm your dog's health. Some of these include: Ethoxyquin, Propylene Glycol, BHT/BHA, Corn Syrup and corn, and animal by-products.  Occasionally, some dogs might show signs of a food sensitivity or intolerance. Watch for: diarrhea, vomiting, or skin conditions. Work with the veterinarian to determine what food ingredients the dog can and cannot eat. Realize that certain human foods can hurt or kill a dog. Dog’s bodies can’t always metabolize foods like humans can so make sure your dog does not have access to these foods: grapes, raisins, chocolates, avocados, yeast dough, nuts, alcohol, onions, garlic, chives, and sugar-free gum (mainly the ingredient xylitol). These are all toxic to dogs. While you can make your own dog food, you must work with an animal nutritionist or veterinarian with education in pet food nutrition. This ensures your dog’s diet is nutritionally balanced. A dog is considered overweight when he weighs 10-20% more than his ideal body weight. If he is 20% overweight, he's considered obese. Being obese can shorten a dog’s life span by 2 years. Obese dogs are at higher risk for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and urinary bladder stones. Talk with a vet about the ideal weight for your dog and feed him accordingly. Most dogs are overweight or obese because they don't get enough exercise and get too much food. Refer to the package of pet food for specific guidelines about feeding based on ideal weight. Just like in humans, snacking or treats, can add quite a few calories to a dog’s daily calorie allowance. This could cause your dog to put on extra weight. Try giving your dog homemade treats, instead of...

This should give you anywhere from 10-50 shells, depending on the ones you choose. Try to vary your show with at least 3-4 different effects, such as a combination of peony bursts, brocades, and waterfalls, with a multi-effect cake for the finale. Fireworks can be expensive, but you’ll have a more impressive show if you focus on a shorter show packed with exciting aerials rather than trying to stretch your budget into the longest show you can make. Choose shells that will make an impact on the crowd and which fire multiple shots rather than buying bottle rockets and Roman candles in bulk. Peonies are the shells most people think about when they imagine a fireworks show. They produce a spherical break of colored stars and are especially striking when several are used in quick succession. The cost of a peony averages about $25 USD. Brocades trail sparks, which slowly cascade down in the shape of an umbrella. Use a combination of brocades and peonies for an eye-catching opening. A 10-shot brocade shell starts at about $20 but can cost as much as $100 depending on the intensity and duration of the effects. Waterfall fireworks create, as the name suggests, a waterfall effect after the break. The stars only fall a short distance, but the effect can be breathtaking. A 10 ft (3.0 m) waterfall firework should cost around $40 USD. A crossette shoots several large stars which then break apart into smaller stars. This is accompanied by a loud crackling sound and creates a crisscross or grid pattern. You can find multiple-shot crossettes starting at about $15-$20 USD. Set pieces usually burn for about a minute, and they really impress the crowd. They are available in a wide variety of patterns, shapes, and words, including flags,hearts, or corporate logos. You can use these to catch the audience’s attention at the beginning, or you can incorporate it into your finale. Since set pieces are usually custom-designed, these can cost several hundred dollars, but the impact is worth it if you have the room in your budget. Cakes...

This should include all the warped tracks from part one. Select the track and press CTRL+C, or right click on the track and select "Copy" from the menu. You will need to move back and forth between arrangement and session view a lot throughout this process.   Open arrangement view. Click the top circle in the upper right hand corner of the screen. The one with the horizontal lines. Paste the first track into audio channel 1. The pasted track will begin wherever the blinking cursor is placed. Place the cursor at the end of the first track in audio channel 2 before continuing.     Copy the second track from the session window. Click on the bottom circle at the top right of the screen to move back and forth between views. Go back to arrangement view and paste the second track in audio channel 2 near the end of the first one. If your cursor is in the right place, it should drop there automatically.  You can move them back and forth until they overlap in just the right places. Complete this step for every transition in your set.   Zoom in on the first transition using the magnifying glass. This appears when you scroll over the numbers just above audio channel 1. You may also zoom in by adjusting the bar at the very top of the arrangement screen.     Select the second track and move it backwards so that it overlaps a bit with the first track.

This should only be done under the advisement of your veterinarian. This drug will help reduce the risk of your horse pulling away and being too active. A playful horse that pulls away has a higher risk of re-injuring itself. Once again, never use Acepromazine on a breeding stallion. If administering ACP to a male horse ensure that his genitals are fully retracted to ensure penile paralysis does not ensue. Once you have outfitted the horse in proper equipment, it's time to take them out. Choose a quiet time of day when not a lot of activity is occurring.  Feeding time, when there are lots of people out riding, or when other horses are being lead in and out, are not ideal times to be taking your injured horse out for a walk. Recall how the horse behaved when being lead before the injury. If it is a quiet, older horse, it should be easier then a younger, more energetic horse. Lead both kinds of horses slowly and deliberately; older horses will be slower to begin with, while younger horses may appear overeager but risk re-injury with forceful leads. If your horse is more active, then you need more control than a halter offers. Instead, fit his regular bridle since the bit will give you more control than a halter. If the horse is particularly active try carrying a dressage whip. This long whip offers you the option to block the horse's shoulders by holding it across the front of the horse's body, and effectively blocking the path ahead which can help stop him from barging forward. If the horse barges, use your weight against his left shoulder to push the horse in a circle to the right. This stops his forward movement, prevents him blocking your path, and asserts authority over him. This is very important. You want to demonstrate to your horse that you're the boss, however much you respect it and care for it. If the horse you're leading is going too fast ahead of you, simply stop in your tracks with the lead line locked in your hand by your side. Face the horse and lightly tap on the front shoulder until the horse...

Give ACP to your horse before you take the horse out of the stall. Take the horse out. Pay attention to temperament. Remember to keep a good hold on an active horse. Lead your horse, don't allow your horse to lead you. Stay on a relatively straight path, keeping close to your horse. Slowly walk them for as long as the vet advises. Continue leading the horse on a regimen that your vet approves.


This should only take 15 to 30 seconds if you are using a high speed setting. If the root beer freeze is not mixing evenly, pause the blender, and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the inside walls. You can get as fancy as you'd like here.

This should send a message to your dog, or other dogs in the area, that he or she is not allowed in your garden. Ensure that the fence is sturdy and tall enough so a dog can't simply push it over or jump over it. Many times dogs simply wander into flower beds because they are just areas that are easily accessible. Simply making access more difficult with a short fence will deter many dogs from entering. Tall, thorny, or especially fragrant plants can be a great deterrent for dogs. Planting a row of thorny roses or other prickly plants along the edge of your flower bed will make the area much more unappealing to a dog looking for a place to dig or lounge around. Dust the edges of your flower beds with red pepper powder or other pungent spices. You could also sprinkle strong smelling liquids, such as vinegar, around the edges of your beds.  Make sure that whatever you use as a deterrent is unpleasant for a dog but it not toxic to it. The goal should be to deter dogs from entering your beds, not to injure them. Don't use commercial repellents made to repel deer or rabbits. Most of these products contain coyote urine, which keeps deer and rabbits at bay but attracts the interest of dogs. Place your prized flowers that are not in the path of neighborhood animals. Backyards or side yards are less likely to have unwanted visitors than the front of a yard near a sidewalk or street. You shouldn't have to limit what and where you plant necessarily, but use common sense when choosing the right spot for a delicate and special flower specimen. Dogs are less likely to get into pots or raised beds, as access it inherently more limited than flat areas of a yard. Having raised beds will not guarantee that your pooch won't go tromping through it but it will make the occurrence less likely.

This shows the person that you are interested in them, and gives them the opportunity to return the gesture, showing that they too are interested. If the person looks away or doesn't smile back, they might not be interested. However, it might also mean that they are too shy to reciprocate, so don't give up quite yet. Be sure to act confident, even if you are shaking inside. First impressions are very important, and confidence is an attractive characteristic in both men and women. This can range from complimenting the person, to talking about what's going on in the room around you, or asking them a question. If you can't think of a reason to talk to the person, try these things:  Ask the person what time it is. Ask the person where they are from. Ask the person what they are reading. Compliment what the person is wearing. Talk about the music that is playing, or anything else that is going on around you. Once the conversation has started, let the person know that you think they are interesting, and would like to get to know them.  Suggest meeting for coffee, lunch, dinner, etc. These are all very basic dates that are low-commitment, in case you don't hit it off. Avoid asking them out to a movie on the first date, because it will not give you a chance to get to know one another. If the person says no, smile and say something like: "Well, it was worth a try. Nice to meet you anyway!" and then leave them be. Don't continue to bother the person once they have said no, and definitely don't continue trying to convince them to go out with you. This will make you appear desperate, and make the other person feel uncomfortable.

This simple approach gives plenty of room for discovery, research, creativity, analysis and conclusions. Make the question an exciting one that sparks the imagination and interest of the class participants. The best questions tend to be those that are large, open-ended, difficult and interesting:  Encourage class participants to consider theories rather than concrete answers. If the question seems unanswerable, children will be encouraged to posit many possibilities, pushing their thinking boundaries.     Broader, harder questions promote deeper and longer discussions. Consider using a mix of familiar things and less well known things. For example, you might ask questions related to coursework already covered along with questions about things the class participants are yet to learn about. For many ideas of good questions, check both How to formulate questions for SOLE activities and the SOLE guide at http://www.ted.com/pages/sole_toolkit. There are many possibilities here, such as reading a brief information sheet, showing a video, playing music or audio, showing images, etc., all things related to the question. Basically, look for things that spark curiosity and cause the class participants to want to dig deeper and look for the solutions.

This simple exercise can be done any time of day, though participants in one study found it helpful to do one set of jaw pulls (three cycles of stretching per set) after each meal and once while bathing, for a total of four sets daily.  Position fingertips on the edge of the front teeth on your lower jaw.  Pull the jaw down slowly, until pain is felt on the side of your jaw affected by TMD.  Hold that extended position for 30 seconds.  Do three cycles of stretching to complete one set of stretches. Aim to do four sets each day. This is a fairly simple exercise, and can be done any time of day.  Position your thumb under your chin.  Slowly open your mouth. Continue pushing upward with your thumb to apply resistance.  Hold the position for three to six seconds before slowly closing your mouth.  Repeat daily to help prevent pain from returning. This is similar to resisted mouth opening, but works the opposite muscles.  Position both thumbs under the chin and both index fingers below your lips, just above the chin. It should look and feel like you are pinching your chin with both hands.  Gently push your jaw down for resistance while you try to close your mouth.  Repeat daily. This is a fairly simple routine that can be modified for increased resistance as you build your jaw strength back up.  Place two tongue depressors or popsicle sticks between your front teeth.  Move your jaw slowly from side to side.  Gradually increase the thickness by adding additional tongue depressors, once the exercise as gotten comfortable. This exercise is similar to the side-to-side routine, and can also be modified for increased resistance as you strengthen your jaw.  Place two tongue depressors or popsicle sticks between your front teeth.  Move the bottom jaw forward, so that your bottom row of teeth are positioned in front of your top row of teeth.  Gradually increase the thickness by adding additional tongue depressors as the exercise becomes comfortable.

This simple snack is often easiest with two tortillas. Simply top one of them with cheese, like it was a pizza, and then lay another tortilla on top. Cook in  the microwave for 30-45 second bursts until all the cheese is melted. You can only really melt the cheese here, you can't get a nice crispy color brown. They will usually not have the same crunchy-gooey texture of a stovetop quesadilla, but they come close. This is also a great way to make multiple quesadillas at once. Start the oven on high and make your quesadillas on a foil-lined baking sheet. Then, as the oven is still heating, put the quesadillas in the oven. Flip them roughly halfway through, and cook until they outsides are browned and the cheese inside is melted.  If the outsides are browned before the cheese melts, turn the heat down and cover them all with a sheet of foil. This prevents burning while still applying heat. Brush the tortillas with oil or melted butter beforehand for a more golden-brown crust. Simply get the grill nice and hot, using medium-high burners, and clean off the grates. Spray the grill with a non-stick cooking spray and lay the quesadillas directly over the heat. Flip them quickly, after 1-2 minutes or when you see the cheese melting. Keep flipping until the sides are crisp to your liking. You can wrap the quesadillas in foil for a less messy grill. This is especially useful if you believe the filling is going to drip out easily. Do not, however, let the quesadillas cool in the foil, or they will get soggy with steam and moisture.

This simple trap attaches a cardboard box to a mouse trap spring. When the bird lands on the trap, the box falls and contains it for later. The trap will also spring on squirrels and other small game, so it can be an effective trap in a survival scenario as well. You want the "classic" trap with a wooden board attached to a spring-loaded trap. They catch the mouse by flipping a metal bar on them when they touch the bait-laden trap. You can find these traps at almost any hardware store. Use a pen to punch a whole in the middle of the box. You want the box to be roughly twice the size of the bird to trap it. You want the trap to be secure enough that it doesn't move when the bird lands on it. Temporarily loop it around part of the mouse trap. Thread the other end through the hole in the top of the box. Later on, you'll attach this loop to the spring. But, for now, you just need it looped somewhere on the trap to create tension in the line. Rest the box on it's edge, so that the open part faces the trap. It should be angled up, so that a bird could fly under the box and land on the trap. Run a nail through the loop, then nail this end of the string into the ground. Pull the nail out enough to keep the line tight and the box stays balanced on it's edge. The inside of the box should be facing the ground, with one side raised to allow birds to enter. Adjust the thread so that the highest edge of the box is only a foot or so in the air. The box needs to be high enough the a bird flies into it, but low enough that it can shut before the bird can fly out. Load the spring but not the arm, as if you were setting it for a mouse. When you press on the trap, it should unload quickly. You want the string to be on the mechanism that spring when a mouse (or, in this case, bird) steps on it. When the bird lands on the trap the box will fall around the bird, trapping it.  The tension of the string is holding the box in place. Make sure you tie the string so that it sits correctly. Test the string by pushing on the trap. The...

Build a backyard trap using a mousetrap, a cardboard box, and some string. Purchase a live rat or mouse trap, the kind with a spring. Cut a small hole in the center of a cardboard box. Fasten the mouse trap to the ground with 2-3 long metal nails. Tie a loop in one end of the thread. Tie a loop in the end of the thread opposite the mousetrap. Tie the string around the loaded mousetrap spring. Place some bread or birdseed on the mousetrap as bait and wait for a hit. Wear long sleeves and gloves when grabbing a live bird.

This small, round squash with green and orange skin has a yellow or orange interior. It resembles an acorn and the skin is hard to peel. This squash is high in fiber. This type is light orange and shaped like a long bell. The skin is easy to peel and many chefs bake it before using it in soups or purees. It is high in vitamin A and vitamin C. This squash is long, similar to butternut squash, but has white skin with thin green stripes. Some people think it looks like a cucumber. The skin is edible and difficult to peel. Round and green on the outside, kabocha is Japanese. It has a dense flesh that bakes well and tastes good in soup. Most people can identify pumpkin; it is round and orange. When you bake it, pumpkin tastes sweet and the seeds can be roasted for snacks as well. It is long and yellow on the outside. The spaghetti squash has a mild taste and the skin peels easily.

Cook acorn squash if you want something with an edible skin. Bake butternut squash if you want a versatile and easily recognized squash. Use delicata squash if you want a creamy taste. Work with kabocha squash if you want a dry squash that is easy to bake. Remember that pumpkin is a member of the squash family. Use spaghetti squash if you want to scrape the flesh into noodle-shaped pieces.


This small-bodied snake is the most common snake in North America—there are over thirty species of garter snakes, with many more subspecies.  While most garter snakes are a dullish-brown or green shade with stripes that run the length of their body, some species are not striped at all, some are much more brightly colored (for example, some are vermillion red, while others are bluish-green), and some exhibit a checkered pattern.  Before you hit the wilderness in search of a garter snake to catch, you'll want to learn about the specific species of garter snakes in your area. You should be able to go to the website of your local DNR (Department of Natural Resources) to see images; this will help you identify the unique markings of garter snakes in your area and avoid those which may be more dangerous. Technically, the garter snake's bite is venomous (their venom is a neurotoxin which slows down or paralyzes its prey), but the venom is not dangerous to humans.  Even so, you may be worried about mistaking a dangerous venomous snake for a harmless garter snake. There's no one venomous snake that the garter snake mimics in appearance, and because it can look so different from region to region, and because the population of dangerous snakes also varies across the country, your best bet will be to research all of the snakes found in your area before you go out in the field. You should visit the website of your DNR or purchase a field guide for your area to be able to view pictures of both the common garter snakes and the more dangerous snake species in your area. There are various reasons for deciding to catch a garter snake, of course. You may be thinking about catching one for a science project, to observe for a day or two, or perhaps even to add to an indoors tank (to become your “pet” of sorts). Many people, though, think that if they see garter snakes in their garden or yard, they must catch them to be rid of them (to either relocate them or kill them).  While there's no doubt stumbling upon a sunning garter...

This smoothie calls for one cup total of berries. You can use any combination of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and other types of berries you desire. Pick through the berries and remove those that are bruised or soft. Wash the berries and cut the stems off.  You can use frozen berries in place of fresh berries in this smoothie. When you're considering which berries to use, know that raspberries and blackberries have excellent flavor but may contain a lot of tiny seeds. Try to find blueberries with soft, rather than tough, skins. The tougher skins are more difficult to blend. Berry smoothies tend to be really thick and almost gel-like. You can make them more drinkable by mixing yogurt with some milk, rather than using all yogurt. Combine 1/2 cup yogurt with 1/2 cup whole or skim milk, keeping in mind that the more fat the milk and yogurt have, the thicker the texture of the smoothie. To keep this smoothie light, go with a teaspoon of stevia or agave nectar for your sweetener. You can also add a few pieces of a very ripe banana if you want to avoid sugar. Place the berries, yogurt/milk mixture, and sweetener in the blender. Blend the ingredients until the smoothie has no visible lumps. Check the consistency and add more milk, yogurt, or ice as desired. Pour this healthy smoothie into a glass to drink at home, or use a to-go container so you can enjoy it on the run.

This sounds obvious, but the first step before you can give away a vehicle is to make sure that you are the legal owner. To do that, you must have the title. The title is a certificate that you should have received from the dealer, probably after you paid off all the loans. The title will name the rightful owner or owners of the vehicle. If you have lost your title certificate, you will need to get a replacement from your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles. Each state has a different procedure and fee for this. At http://www.dmv.org/replacing-a-lost-title.php you can find a handy map of the U.S. with contact information for the DMV in each state. A lienholder is someone you borrowed money from, with the car as collateral. If you still owe them money, their name will appear on the title. Before you can give away the car, you must pay off all loans, and the lienholders must sign off on the title certificate that they have been paid. If the owner’s name on the title is someone who is deceased, and the gift is an inheritance, you may need to go to Probate Court to get an order for the transfer. Alternatively, in some states, it is possible to file a simple affidavit with the Registry of Motor Vehicles in order to take possession. You will need to check with your state law. If the car was owned jointly by a married couple, for example, and one dies and the remaining owner wants to give the car away as a gift, the surviving individual can, in most cases, transfer the car alone. A copy of the death certificate may be needed to accompany the title.
