To graph the vector and its components, you need to decide on a scale for your graph. You need to choose a scale that is large enough to work with comfortably and accurately, but small enough that your vector can be drawn to scale.  For example, suppose you're starting with a vector that represents a speed of 200 mph (320 km/h) in a northeasterly direction. If you're using graph paper with 4 squares per inch, you might choose to have each square represent 20 mph (32.2 km/h). This represents a scale of 1 inch (2.5 cm) = 80 mph. The vector’s placement with respect to the origin is irrelevant, so there's no need to draw an x-axis and y-axis. You're only measuring the vector itself, not its location in 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional space. The graph paper is just a measuring tool, so location doesn't matter. It is important that you sketch your vector as accurately as possible. You need to represent both the correct direction and length of the vector in your drawing.  Use an accurate ruler. For example, if you've chosen the scale of one square on your graph paper representing 20 mph (32.2 km/h), and each square is 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm), then a vector of 200 mph (320 km/h) will be a line that is 10 squares, or 2 1/2 inches, long. Use a protractor, if necessary, to show the angle or direction of the vector. For example, if the vector shows movement in the northeast direction, draw a line at a 45-degree angle from the horizontal. The vector's can indicate many different kinds of direction measurements. If you're discussing travel, it might mean a direction on the map. To depict the path of a thrown or hit object, the vector's angle might mean the angle of travel from the ground. In nuclear physics, a vector might indicate an electron's direction. Using your ruler, begin at the tail of the vector and draw a horizontal line as wide as necessary to coincide with the head of the vector. Mark an arrowhead at the tip of that line to indicate that this is also a component vector. Then draw a vertical line from that point to...

Select an appropriate scale. Draw the vector to scale. Draw a right triangle, with the vector as hypotenuse. Label the two component vectors. Measure the component vectors.


To grill pheasant, you want to take a brined pheasant and cut it into eighths, so that you have two wings, two breasts, two thighs, and two legs. Along with the brined pheasant, you will also need a boning knife. Lay the pheasant breast up on a flat surface before you start cutting.  Remove the legs and thighs from the bird: where the legs meet the body, use the knife to slice away at the meat. Use your hand to pull the leg and thigh away from the body. Then, lay the bird on its side, and use your knife to cut through the leg joint and remove the leg and thigh. Separate the legs from the thighs: lay the pieces flat and cut through the joint that connects each leg to each thigh. Remove the breasts and wings: with the bird sitting breast up, cut down the center bone to separate each breast from the rib cage. Follow the contour of the breasts around the wish bone to the wing bones. Loosen the meat from the body and filet the breasts off the ribcage. Separate the breasts and wings: lay the breasts skin side down and cut through the joint that connects each breast with each wing. Whether you're using a charcoal grill or barbecue, preheat it to 275 F (135 C). To season the meat, you can:  Cover each piece with two teaspoons (12 ml) maple syrup or barbecue sauce (optional). Sprinkle each piece with salt and pepper, to taste. You can do this right onto the meat or on top of the sauce or syrup. Place the meat skin-side up on the grill to sear it, then flip it over so it's skin side down. Let the meat cook for four to five minutes before flipping it again. Cook for another five minutes. For added flavor, add a dollop of apple sauce to each piece of meat for the final two minutes of cooking. Before serving your grilled pheasant, allow it to rest for a few minutes to seal in the juices and cool.

Cut the meat. Preheat your grill and season the meat. Cook the meat. Allow the meat to rest.


To grow a healthy ginger plant, you want to keep the pot in a warm area of your home. However, choose a location that doesn’t receive a great deal of direct sunlight because sun exposure can turn the ginger green. The ideal temperature for the area where you keep the ginger plant is 60 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (16 to 32 degrees Celsius). Make sure that temperature is maintained even overnight. It’s important not to overwater the ginger as it grows, but its soil needs to remain moist. Fill a spray bottle with water, and lightly mist the soil daily. If you prefer, you can lightly water the soil with a watering can twice a week instead of misting it daily. To ensure that the roots are kept warm and protect the plant from sun exposure, you should mix some rich compost into the pot regularly. Sprinkle 3- to 4-inches (8- to 10-cm) over the top of the soil once a month.  You can purchase compost from your local garden supply center or home improvement store. Look for compost that's identified as multipurpose or potting compost. Those are typically the best options for potted plants. When a ginger plant doesn't receive the proper amount of water and sunlight, it will show signs that it isn't healthy. Pay attention to the color and texture of the plant's leaves, so you can correct issues as soon as they occur.  If the plant's leaves become yellow, it's usually a sign that you're overwatering it or the soil isn't draining properly. Cut back on how often you water the plant and check the pot's drainage holes to ensure that they're not blocked. If the leaves begin to look dry or scorched, it usually indicates that the plant is receiving too much direct sunlight. Move the plant to an area where it doesn't receive direct sunlight and prune away the affected leaves. If the leaves develop brown tips, it's usually a sign that you're applying too much compost or fertilizer. Only apply compost once a month.

Place the pot in a warm area without direct sunlight. Mist the soil with water to keep it moist. Add rich compost monthly. Keep an eye out for signs that your ginger plant is in trouble.


To have a career as a healthcare administrator, you will need to earn a degree in healthcare administration or in a related field. Healthcare administrations students take courses in public health, health services, and health administration. Depending on what type of healthcare administrator you would like to be, you may also need to seek additional training. Look for a program certified by the Association of University Programs in Healthcare Administration (AUPHA). AUPHA-certified programs have high standards, including a requirement that their students complete a 120 hour internship in a healthcare setting. Completing an internship is essential for getting hands on job experience and finding a job after you graduate. Some programs even require students to complete an internship before they can receive their degrees. Discuss your internship options with your academic advisor or the internship coordinator at your university. While there are many entry level positions available to healthcare administrators with bachelor’s degrees, a healthcare administrator with a master’s degree can seek higher level positions, such as healthcare manager or director positions. Some upper level healthcare administration jobs may even require applicants to have a master’s degree to advance. Keep in mind that an advanced degree may not stand in for practical experience. Even with a master’s degree you may still need to start out with an entry level position if you do not have much work experience. Therefore, you might consider waiting to obtain a master’s degree until you have 5 or more years of work experience in healthcare administration. To get your foot in the door with an organization that you’d like to work for after graduation, you can also consider volunteering. Taking a few hours out of your week to volunteer at a hospital or long-term care facility that you’d like to work at someday will provide you with opportunities to demonstrate your skills and get to know some people who already work there. The impressions and...

To have a party, you’ll need to invite your child’s friends! Parents should make the guest list for kids under 4. Think about family friends and friends from school who you’d like to invite. Children over 4 should probably be given a say in making the guest list. You can buy luau-themed invitations from your local party store, or you can try your hand at making them! Depending on the size of your guest list, making invitations may not be feasible. Invitations should include the time, date, and location of the party. Don’t forget to mention any special details! For your luau-themed party, you might want to direct children to bring their swimsuits. Go for colorful, tropical invitations decorated with flip flops, flowers, or ocean waves. If you are buying your invitations, consider using Hawaiian postcards.  If you decide on homemade invitations, flip-flop-shaped invitations made from construction paper are a cute, easy option. Print the invitation text on colored cardstock, then trace and cut out a flip-flop shape. You can find stencils online and print them. Glue on a silk flower for extra flair.  The possibilities are limitless. You could make flower-shaped invitations, or even attach invitations to a lei! Visit party planning websites or blogs for more ideas. You should give the guests enough time to plan ahead, but not so much time that they forget about the event. Send out invitations at least two weeks, but no more than four weeks, before your party.

To have your application taken seriously and to make it easier to get admitted into the program, it’s wise to get a college degree. In fact, 90% of positions require it. An associate’s degree may be enough if you have the necessary work experience, too.  If you can and are interested, study agriculture, forestry, or environment. Having a background in these areas can make you an obvious candidate for these understaffed areas. All education positions require a minimum GPA of 2.5. Your application will be very strong if you’ve taken college level French or Spanish. About 35% of countries require either two years of high school or one year of college level French (or other Romance language), or four years of high school or two years of college level Spanish. If you do get posted in a country that requires Spanish or French and you don't know the language, the Peace Corps does offer you language training at the beginning of your assignment. It is paid for and is included in the 27 month arrangement. The Peace Corps is looking for individuals who have demonstrated a love of helping others. If you come in with volunteer experience – whether it's at a hospital, a soup kitchen, or tutoring kids – you're showing that you already have a grip on what's expected of you. It tells the Peace Corps that you have the right character for the job. It doesn't matter what it is! Getting involved in your community not only proves your work ethic and character, but it'll help prepare you for the basis of the work you'll be doing with the Peace Corps. It's that feeling of helping people that you can become accustomed to with volunteer work, whatever it is. When on assignment, you'll be working with locals, often on your own. Coming into the Peace Corps having already had a leadership position or two makes your application that much stronger. So whether it's leading a group of volunteers, leading your sorority or fraternity, or leading your school band, include it on your application. Any work you do autonomously is good, too....

To help boost both your speed and endurance, you need to push your limits and mix up your workout routines a little. If you've been doing the same exercises for a few months, your body will have settled into a routine, and it's likely you've reached a plateau. It's time to shake it up and try some new things! Maintaining good form while running will ensure that your body is operating as efficiently as possible, helping you to increase your running speed, as well as helping to prevent injuries. Running should feel natural and loose - you shouldn't feel tense or taut. "Fartlek" is a Swedish word meaning "speed play" and is becoming a more and more popular training method amongst runners who are trying to increase their speed. Fartlek training involves varying your running pace at random intervals throughout your run. With fartleks, you can run at a jogging pace for several minutes then sprint for a full minute, before resuming your previous pace.   Fartleks are a very flexible training method, and you can decide what the ratio of jogging to sprinting will be, depending on how you're feeling on a given day. For best results, you should aim to incorporate fartlek training into a 40-60 minute run.  Most runners don't use very exact methods or timing for doing fartlek training. A lot of times, runners will simply decide to sprint until they get to a particular landmark, like a telephone pole or fire hydrant. The length of the sprint is entirely up to you and your body's ability.  It is important to warm up properly - at least 10-15 minutes at an average running pace - before attempting a fartlek workout. This is because you need to ensure that your muscles are loose enough to handle the demands of multiple accelerations. Also ensure that you allow yourself a decent cooldown periods, otherwise you could be dealing with some very sore muscles the next day. . Running over hilly terrain has been proven to gradually build up speed over time, so you should definitely incorporate some hill training into your workout...

To help combat hair loss, you can make a garlic hair salve. Start off with six to eight cloves of garlic. Peel the garlic cloves. Use a garlic press to get 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of garlic juice from these cloves. If you don't get enough juice from these cloves, juice more cloves until you do. Once you've juiced the garlic, set it aside. Grab some honey and measure out 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml). Mix the honey into the small bowl of garlic juice and put the mixture in the refrigerator. While your mixture chills in the fridge, you need to brew some tea. Take two bags of chamomile tea  or three tablespoons of loose leaf tea. Add it to a pot of water and place it on the stove. Let it simmer in 24 ounces of water for 30 minutes. Once the tea has brewed for the right amount of time, pour the mixture into a cup. If you used loose leaf tea, strain the tea as you do so. Once the tea is done, take the honey and garlic mixture out of the fridge. Mix one egg yolk into the mixture.  It may take a minute to get it combined because the honey will be thick and stubborn. Next, add one tablespoon of aloe vera gel and mix together well. Once all the ingredients are combined, go to a place where you can easily apply it to your hair without making a mess. Gently massage the mixture into your scalp, not all of your hair. Since the hair grows from the scalp, you want to concentrate the garlic salve here. After it is all on your scalp, wrap a clean, cotton towel around your head. Leave the mixture on your scalp for 20 minutes. After you've waited long enough, wash the mixture out of your hair with baby shampoo or another very gentle shampoo. Rinse it out thoroughly. Next, take a second egg yolk and massage that into your scalp. Rinse this off with warm water. Make sure you get all the egg yolk out of your hair. Do not wash it again, just keep rinsing the yolk out. Once the yolk is out of your hair and off your scalp, you need to use the chamomile tea. Take the cup of tea and pour it over your scalp, rinsing your hair once again with...

To help get rid of the smell of smoke on your breathe, brush your teeth often. Keep a travel toothbrush and toothpaste on you when you're out so you can brush your teeth before you spend time around others that might have a problem with the smell of smoke.  You can buy travel toothbrushes at any drugstore or general store. You can also chew gum or carry mouthwash. Anything that will spread clean, fresh scent through your mouth. The smell of smoke will remain on your hands long after you smoke. The nicotine and tar from the smoke will cling to the surface of your hands, making them smell. Wash your hands with a strong, pleasant smelling soap to rid your hands of the smell.  You can also use a scented lotion after washing your hands to make your hands smell better. This may help absorb smoky smells the next time you have a cigarette. Just remember to reapply after you've smoked a few times to keep the smell down. If you can't wash your hands, try a scented hand sanitizer to remove the smell of smoke from your hands. You may not think your clothes smell like smoke, but that is because you are used to the smell. Others will be able to smell it as soon as they see you. Wash your clothes after every use to ensure you get the smoke smell out. You should also avoid smoking around your clothes because they will get the smell in them before you wear them.  If the smells are stubborn, try adding a cup of vinegar to your wash to help remove the smell.  Thick materials like wool are particularly absorbent to smell, so make sure these are washed well. The sleeves of your shirts are more susceptible to smoky odors than other parts of your clothes. Roll up your sleeves while you smoke to help keep the smell of the smoke off your clothes while you are out. If it is cold, wear a jacket when you smoke. You can take the jacket off when you are done and hang it up. This way, you leave the scent of smoke on the jacket. Make sure to wash your jackets if you do this. Cigarette smoke clings to your hair after you smoke. To help avoid...

To help maintain your muscle mass while in a caloric deficit, consider taking up weight training.  When in a caloric deficit, your body will burn its reserves for energy both fat as well as muscle. Ideally you want to burn fat, not muscle. Including regular strength training can help minimize the loss of lean muscle mass.  Health experts recommend including at least one to two days of strength training. Ensure that you work each major muscle group when you're exercising. Try lifting weights or using weight machines, doing yoga or pilates, or using isometric exercises to help maintain or build lean muscle mass. Cardiovascular exercise is good for overall health. However, it also helps your body burn calories and fuel weight loss.  Regular cardiovascular or aerobic exercise has been associated with a variety of health benefits in addition to weight loss. It has been shown to help improve mood, decrease your risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure, helps improve circulation, and improves your energy.  Cardio is also the main form of exercise that will burn calories and help support weight loss.  The combination of a diet and physical activity is the best for weight loss.  Include 5 days of cardio for at least 30 minutes. This will help you meet the minimum guideline set of adults in the US.  Include exercises like jogging, fast walking, dancing, using the elliptical, or swimming. In addition to strength training and cardio exercises, also try to just move more or take more steps in the day. Studies have shown that lifestyle activities can also help support weight loss.  Lifestyle activities are those that you do on a normal day. These could be walking to and from destinations, taking the stairs, vacuuming the floor or mowing the lawn. Lifestyle activities burn small amounts of calories; however, if you're moving more all day long, you can make a significant impact on your weight. Try to move or walk more throughout your day. Take a walk break at lunch, take the stairs instead of the...

To help make sure you have time to do all of your work outside of school, make sure you have time set aside every day to do homework. It needs to be long enough so that you can get all of your work done, and maybe even have your parents check it for mistakes.  During your homework time, make sure you don’t have any distractions. Turn off the TV, video game, cell phone, anything that will take your attention away from your homework. This can also mean your parents, siblings, or pets, really anything that might distract you from working. If you aren’t paying attention, that makes it more likely you’ll do something wrong. One thing that will really help is to make sure this homework time happens at the same time every day. This will help you get into a rhythm of doing your work at the same time, so you’ll always know when you should be doing homework. Don’t forget to think about other activities when you plan your homework time. It’s okay to do other things like soccer practice, dance lessons, or even playdates. Just remember that you need to make sure you have time to do school work in addition to those things. Your teacher will probably give you homework, assignments you need to do after school. The goal of these assignments is to help you learn the material, so making sure it gets done before school will help you learn and get better grades.  You’ll probably get lots of different assignments covering different subjects. When you get home, it is a good idea to list all of your assignments, and think about how much time you need to spend on them and the order you should do them. Along with doing worksheets and reading books, this can mean other things, such as making time to practice an instrument if you are in the band. Just because you don’t have something to turn in doesn’t mean it isn’t important to get done. When your teacher tells you that you will have a test or quiz, make sure you prepare. Read your notes, any books you have been given. The goal of tests and quizzes is to see how well you understand the...

To help prevent blockage and reduce plaque buildup in your heart, you need to consume healthy, balanced meals. In general, a balanced diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or fat-free dairy. It also includes lean proteins, such as poultry, fish, and beans. You should also only eat foods low in saturated fat, trans fats, and cholesterol. Avoid butter, fried foods, and cheese.  Avoid dairy product with added sugar and higher calorie content. The USDA has many resources available to learn more about how to create a balance diet. CAD and the development of plaque is the result of elevated cholesterol and sugars, as well as chronically elevated blood pressure. To help reduce your cholesterol, reduce your number of carbohydrates, especially the high glycemic and high fructose foods. These are often referred to as simple or bad carbs because they are high in calories but low in the amount of energy they create during metabolism. They are processed and expended by your body very quickly and lead to fat deposition and spikes in bad sugars and fats.  Simple carbs include foods such as cookies, cakes, candy, processed cereals, white bread, white rice, chips, sodas, juices, and non-diet soft drinks.  When you consume an excess of fat, sugar, or carbohydrates, your body metabolizes these into a type of molecule called lipids, which include cholesterol and triglycerides. Having unhealthy levels of lipids causes too much fat circulating in the blood. This contributes to the development of fatty plaques in vessel walls. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is a medically designed and studied diet plan that focuses on reducing blood pressure. It was shown the significantly lower both levels of blood pressures. The diet is high in vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy products, whole grains, and lean proteins. It is also low in sodium, added-sugars, and fats. It emphasizes small portion size, cutting out animal proteins, and getting enough nutrients like as potassium, calcium, and...

To help protect your frame throughout the shipping process, you’ll cover it in a layer of artist or painters tape. That way, if it breaks during transit, the shattered shards will stick to the tape instead of falling onto the artwork. Do not use masking tape or similar high-tack adhesives since they are difficult to remove and can leave an annoying film on the frame. Artist tape is available at most craft, home supply, and discount stores. Lay down 2 strips of artist tape over the glass in an X formation, with each piece stretching diagonally from 1 corner to the other. Then, lay down 2 more strips in the form of a cross or plus sign, with the tape stretching from the midpoint of 1 side to the midpoint of the other. Lay down strips of vertical and horizontal artist tape over the entire sheet of glass. You can apply the strips in any order, but by the end they should cover every section of glass. For extra protection, lay the tape down in an overlapping grid pattern. Tape can be particularly difficult to remove from a border and, in many cases, will create unnecessary damage. If you have extra tape at the end of a strip, either cut the ends off with scissors or fold the ends back on themselves and secure them with more tape.

To help you combat looking sweaty or hot when you arrive at your interview, be prepared with a few supplies such as a travel-sized antiperspirant, moist towelettes, a small bottle of baby powder, and a handkerchief for dabbing away sweat on your brow. Bring a bottle of water to keep yourself hydrated. Leave the oversized bag at home, along with the backpack and wheeled suitcase. Complete your image with a professional-looking briefcase or bag in a neutral color. If you are wearing a suit jacket, you can opt to leave it off while you’re traveling to your interview. This way, you will not overheat. Carefully carry it, though, so it does not get wrinkled in transit. Hang your suit jacket on a hanger in your car to keep it from wrinkling or gathering lint. It is not recommended that you wear a hat before your interview, as it could mess up your hair and make you sweat more around your hairline. While a hat is generally good to wear when you’re outside in the sunshine, this particular occasion is not the most appropriate time for wearing a hat. If you need to take public transit to your interview, you might want to spring for a cab this time. This will eliminate the need to wait outside for a bus or other transportation in hot weather. If you are walking more than a few blocks, you also might consider taking a cab. Give yourself plenty of time before the interview by arriving early. If you are rushing to get there on time, you will likely be flustered and sweatier than if you had more time to spare. When you arrive, find the restroom and take a few minutes to refresh your look. This is a good time to take a few deep breaths and to make sure you look calm and collected.  Run your hands under cool water in the restroom. This will help cool you off by lowering your body temperature slightly. It will also leave your hands free of sweat.  Blot away sweat with moist towelettes. Apply baby powder to blot moist areas of your skin on your face. Reapply your antiperspirant. Be careful not to get any antiperspirant on your...

To help you get inspiration for your villain, you may a person who already exists that you find terrifying or scary. This could be your older sibling, a family friend, or a celebrity. Using an existing person as a model can help make it easier to then add or subtract elements to create your own fictional version of the person.  For example, maybe you create a villain based on a famous dictator, like Mao, or a villain based on your scary Aunt Edna. You may exaggerate some of the real life details of the person to make them appear more threatening or intimidating. Maybe you give Aunt Edna a physical trait that is scary, such as a glass eye or a facial scar. Or, maybe you exaggerate her personality, making her meaner and more aggressive. You may also look into historical figures who have been known as villains, such as a serial killer or a political figure. You could then add details to the historical figure to make them appear more villainous. You can get a better sense of the villain by defining them by their key character traits. These could be simple one word descriptors that help you paint a better picture of the villain and their goals once you sit down to write the story. Try to think of character traits that are more than just “evil” or “crazy”. Look for character traits that will define your particular villain and make them more than just a one note character. For example, you may write down, “attractive”, “powerful”, “jealous”, “intelligent”, “manipulative”, and “quiet”. Many of the more popular and successful villains in literature have engaging backstories, where they have a history of bad deeds due to a pivotal event in their lives. Determining what event or moment made the villain turn dark can help to create a more fleshed out character. It also allows you to avoid creating a one dimensional villain who only appears evil for evil’s sake. For example, you may have a villain who witnessed trauma at a young age, such as violence, abuse, or abandonment. Or, you may have a villain who stumbled into a...

To help you on a back tuck, a spotter needs be standing one one side of you. Whichever side feels more natural to your spotter. He or she needs to stand with legs shoulder width apart, and bent knees. He or she needs to place one hand behind your thigh and the other in the middle of your back. They will help you throw your legs over and keep your back supported. They are there to help you not crash and get through the back tuck. Once you are more confident, he or she will take a less-active role and be there to help if something goes wrong. Make sure your spotter is close in case you need help. Keep your feet together. Bend your knees. Keep your chest up and don’t bend your back. You need to be mentally ready and all in to do the back tuck. Know that you can do it. Have your spotter there if something goes wrong, but fully commit to the move both mentally and physically. This is the way that you generate power in the back tuck, so the jump is the most important part. By pushing off your toes, you can extend the jump. The higher your set is the better. When you jump up for your set, never look at the ground! It helps your momentum on the jump and also helps to protect your neck. With your arms up and a straight body, you will start a slight rotation as your body flies upward. Don’t throw your head back. You might even want to try with something under you chin to keep it in place -- like a pair of rolled-up socks. Most of the time, you need to be looking at your feet as they are moving through the air. Throwing your head back can throw off the timing and physics of the move. Once you think that you've reached the highest point on your set, drive your knees up. Grab the bottom of your knees. Keep in mind that grabbing the knees is not the most important part of the jump -- you can even do a back tuck without getting your arms involved. Even when you are driving up your knees you should still be looking up so that you don't throw your head back. At first it might be hard to land your back tuck, but as you...

To help you stay organized throughout the day, purchase a high-quality planner that you can write your class schedule, extra-curricular schedule, and assignment deadlines in. Make sure to bring it to every class so you can always keep it up-to-date.  Carefully mark all of your exam dates in your planner and schedule specific times to study for them. Mark times when you will be busy with friends or social events so you can plan your study schedule around them. Avoid having an “everything” binder that you keep the notes, assignments, and tests from all your classes in. This will make you incredibly disorganized, and if you lose that binder, you will lose everything. Instead, create separate, clearly labeled binders for each class.  In case you forget your main binders at home, keep a spare binder in your locker that has paper, pencils, and other general supplies you can use to get through the day. If you don’t have a locker to keep your binders in, store them in a large backpack. Do your best to pay attention whenever the teacher is talking. Even if you are not feeling motivated on a particular day, remind yourself to work hard and remember that you will reap the benefits later on.  If you have trouble focusing, try putting up small distractions like chewing gum and major distractions like your phone. If your friends want to talk to you in class, ask them to wait until later. Write down the topic of each class session as soon as your teacher reveals it. This will help center your mind on the subject at hand. If you have trouble understanding the material, don’t be afraid to raise your hand and ask a question. during class whenever your teacher allows it. Not only do notes make studying for tests easier, but they can actually help you commit the material to memory. If possible, write the notes by hand because it will make it easier to recall the information down the road. Instead of writing down everything the teacher says, try to listen and then transcribe the most important information. This will make note...

To help your bala sharks adjust to their new tank water, they’ll need to be acclimated. Remove ¼ of the their bag water and replace it with an equal amount from the tank. Then place them in the tank while still in their plastic water bags, and add one cup (237 milliliters) of tank water to the bag every ten minutes for one hour. Finally, gently net the fish from the bag, and dispose of the bag and its water. After bringing the fish home and putting them in the tank, you might notice that they are shy at first, and may not eat for a few days. This is normal behavior, because of the fright they experience during the trip  from the store to your tank. Be careful not to overfeed them during this period--try giving them small amounts a few times a day until their appetite improves. Bala Sharks like a variety of foods, including flakes, brine shrimp, mosquito larvae, chopped fruit, blanched spinach, shelled peas, sinking wafers, and live black worms. Generally, give them an even mixture of vegetable matter, flakes, and live food. Try to feed them 2 to 3 times per day. At each feeding, give them as much as they're able to eat in 3 minutes. If you only feed them once a day, give them what they can eat in 5 minutes. To keep your bala sharks in good health, they’ll need regular water changes. Replace 50% of the water at least once a month, and replace 25% at least every other week if the tank is densely populated. When you replace the water, this is also a good time to clean the bottom of the tank, including rocks, with a vacuum siphon. Use an algae scraper as well to clean the glass panes.

Acclimate them carefully. Expect an adjustment period. Feed them a broad diet. Change the water frequently.


To help your pool blend in with the surrounding backyard, build a deck around the sides that is approximately level with the pool. You can build the deck yourself or hire a contractor to build it for you.  Building a deck around the pool is the best way to give it the appearance of an underground pool. If you prefer, you can install a deck with wide sides around the above ground pool and set up chairs or other pool furniture For a more urban look, mix a batch of concrete and set up a wall on each side of the pool. If you have experience working with concrete, you can do it yourself. If not, you can hire a landscaper instead. Concrete is sturdy and more weather-resistant than wood but isn't as natural looking. If you like the rustic look of decks but don't want to commit to the cost or time, line up wood panels around the sides of the pool. Secure the panels in place with an outdoor wood adhesive and apply a sealant to protect it from UV rays and harsh weather.  For water-resistant wood stains, try polyurethane varnish, exterior paint, or Danish oil.  Wood paneling can give the above ground pool a more finished appearance without as much construction as decks. To give your above ground pool a look similar to a below ground pool, try setting up glass paneling. Buy or cut glass panes the approximate width of your above ground pool and hire a contractor to fix them on top of the siding. Setting up glass panels works best with deck siding.

To help your screens continue looking great, you'll want to keep dust and dirt from building up.  Giving your window screens a light dusting once a week can cut down on the amount of heavy cleaning you'll need to do.  Use these basic steps to keep up with your weekly screen dusting schedule:  Grab a vacuum cleaner and a dusting brush attachment. Use the vacuum cleaner to gently suck up any dirt on the screen. If you are able to do so, vacuum both sides of the screen. It's best to work top to bottom when cleaning the screen. You won't always need to remove the entire screen from the window to clean it.  If you notice a specific spot or area that is dirty, you can mix up some soap and water to clean your screen.  Keep some of these tips in mind to spot clean the screen while it's still in the window:  Mix some mild soap and warm water in a bucket. Dip a small sponge into the bucket. Use the sponge to gently wash the stained area. If you have to scrub the area, do so gently.  Using too much force can easily tear the screen. Finish by drying the screen with a towel. The more often you clean your window screens, the less often you'll need to remove them and do a full cleaning.  Try to include window screens in your usual house cleaning routine to help keep them looking like new.

Remove dust at least once a week. Spot clean the screen when needed. Clean your screens regularly.


To hide your bad habits in college, it is important that you maintain a high academic performance. Make sure you dedicate enough time to studying and completing your assignments. Often, if you are doing well academically, your parents will be less suspicious that you are drinking or doing reckless things while in college.  You may want to set up a study group with your peers to keep you on track and to ensure you meet your deadlines. You can also use an organizer on your phone or your computer so you are aware of when your assignments are due and can block out time to complete them. This will help you to prioritize your academics over your drinking habits, though this does not mean that you have to stop drinking altogether. Instead, it just means you will need to balance your school work with your free time activities, including partying and hanging out with friends. Another way to maintain your academic performance is to make sure you attend all your classes and are on time. Show the professor that you are engaged, and not just drinking all the time, by participating in class as well. Raise your hand and contribute to the discussion in class. This will ensure you get high participation marks in your classes, which will also ensure you maintain a high grade point average. Your professors will likely take notice if you do not show up for class several times in a row or you appear to be hung over and sleeping in the back of the room. Impressing your professors with your clean, sober behavior in class will allow you to fly under the radar. Though you may enjoy drinking and partying, you should try to ease up during mid-terms and final exams. It may be possible to scrape by without attending too many classes but failing your mid-terms and your final exams could lead to a failing grade in your classes. This could then alert your parents that something is going on with you and that you may be spending too much time hanging out and partying. Prepare for your exams by taking good notes in class and participating in a...

To improve your flexibility you need to stretch on a regular basis. Otherwise, your body will quickly return to its previous, inflexible state.  Stretch five days a week for approximately ten minutes. Don’t feel the need to “make-up” missed stretch time. Too much stretching can be counterproductive. If you miss a day, that’s okay—simply try to do better the following week. Deep, controlled breathing is essential for getting the most out of your stretches and avoiding pain. Breathing deeply brings more oxygen into your lungs which helps remove lactic acid from your muscles.  Before every stretch, take a slow, deep breath. As you move into the stretch, slowly release the breath. When you reach the limit of your stretch take another deep breath in. Slowly release the breath and move slightly further into the stretch. The increased oxygen in your blood should help you move further without additional pain. Contrary to popular wisdom, stretching is more effective and helpful if performed after a workout. This is because muscles stretch more when they’re warmed up and fatigued.  After you’ve completed your aerobic or anaerobic workout, move directly into your ten-minute stretching routine. If you don’t have time to workout before you stretch, take five minutes or so to either go for a walk or simply contract and release your muscles. Even this small amount of warm-up will improve your stretching routine.

To jump, you must get yourself into position as the horse starts to jump. Start by lifting yourself out of the saddle in to 2 point . You should also lean forward while lifting yourself. Getting yourself into position should happen quickly, basically as the horse is changing from his final stride into a jumping position. You will be learning to do this transition so it takes you only a few seconds. As you lift yourself, your weight should shift to the balls of your feet. This movement should come naturally as you rise in the saddle and move forward. It may be tempting to ride this position with your heels up. However, you need to keep your heels down, putting your full weight in the stirrups. In addition, make sure to bend your leg slightly. This keeps your leg from moving backwards too much. If your leg moves backwards too much, it can make your horse go too fast. That is, you need to push your hands up the horse's neck a bit from where you normally keep your hands. Some riders even grab the horses mane. Moving your hands gives your horse a chance to really stretch out his neck as he takes the jump. It can be difficult to learn the proper position in the heat of the moment. Every jump only provides a little bit of time to get into position. Therefore, try practicing in front of a mirror at home. You can also practice on your horse when he is trotting or cantering to get a feel for the position. Basically, as soon as you get the feel for how to shift your weight, you can start trying it in the saddle.

Lift yourself out of the saddle. Shift your weight. Adjust your legs. Move your hands up. Practice out of the saddle.


To keep from snagging a hangnail or patch of rough skin on your pantyhose, prepare your hands, feet and legs to make the process easier. Here are a few things you might do to get ready:  File your fingernails and toenails.  Shave or wax your legs (especially if your hose are sheer).  Moisturize your hands, legs and feet. Take off any rings and bracelets that may catch on the nylon material and damage the pantyhose. Check for the tag and position the pantyhose so that you'll be putting them on with the tag in the back. They're constructed to be put on a certain way, and putting them on backwards could make them look and feel strange. Starting on either the right side or left, hold the waist of the pantyhose and gently bunch the leg so that the inside of the toe is exposed. The point is to create an easy pathway for your foot, so that you can place it inside the length of the hose leg without tearing the fabric. You might need to stretch the opening a bit to make sure your foot can fit inside without catching on the fabric. Pointing your toe will help prevent your toenail from snagging the hose. Put your whole foot inside and arrange the bottom of the hose leg so that the seam at the toe runs across the tip of your toes.  Make sure the leg isn't twisted when you put your foot inside. If it's twisted, it will be difficult to pull the pantyhose up your leg. You can be in either a sitting or standing position when you put on your pantyhose. If you find it difficult to balance on one foot, you might want to sit! Ease it on carefully and slowly, making sure the fabric doesn't pull or rip. Keep the hose leg centered and pull it up until you reach your thigh. If the fabric is twisted or bunched at the knees, straighten it before proceeding. Gather the waist and the toe of the other leg so that you create an easy path for your foot to fit through. Point your toe and insert it, then line up the toe of the hose so that the seam runs across your toes. Pull the hose leg up over your calf and knee until it reaches your...

To keep ginger fresh in the refrigerator for the longest time possible, use a paring knife or a spoon to peel it and then put it into a glass jar. Fill the jar to the top with vodka and screw the lid on tight. Keep the ginger in the refrigerator for as long as 2 months.  When you want to use your ginger, unscrew the jar lid, pull the ginger out, and pat it dry before you slice off a piece. Then, put the remaining ginger back into the jar and close the lid. If you’re old enough to drink alcohol, you can also use the vodka in the jar to make a cocktail after you’ve finished eating the ginger. If you don’t want to submerge your ginger in alcohol, store it without peeling it to keep it fresher for longer. Put it into a sealable plastic bag, press all of the air out, and then seal it tight. Then, put it in your refrigerator’s vegetable drawer. When stored in this way, your ginger will keep its flavor for up to 2 months. When you cut off a piece of your ginger, blot the exposed inside of the ginger with a paper towel before you put it back in the plastic bag and return it to the refrigerator. This is a good storage option to try if you plan on consuming all of your ginger within a week or 2. To ensure maximum freshness, wrap the ginger in a paper towel before you put it into the paper bag. Then, roll the bag up tight and put it in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator.

To keep it centered in the middle of the larger jar, you can put a dab of glue or tape on the bottom before you set it inside. Make sure you put the lid on securely since you don't want ants accidentally falling in. Use a funnel to neatly fill the extra space with dirt, or spoon it in. The dirt should not be tightly packed; make sure it's nice and loose, so the ants will be able to move around. Leave about an inch of empty space at the top of the jar.  You will now have created a layer of dirt that will serve as the ants' home. The inch of empty space will keep the ants from climbing up the glass and out of the jar when you need to open the lid. Carefully drop the ants in the jar, making sure they all make it into the fine dirt you provided. Cover the jar and use an awl or a sharp knife to puncture it with tiny holes, to allow oxygen to reach the ants.  Make sure not to punch the holes too large, or the ants will escape and build a nest elsewhere. Don't cover the jar with cloth, as ants will be able to chew their way out.

To keep the pool liner clean, use a pool cover when you are not using the pool often. You may do this during the winter time to protect the pool liner. Get a pool cover that fits the pool well and is tightly sealed at the edges. This will keep dirt and debris out of the pool, which can then create stains on the liner. If you are using a pool cover that floats over the pool, make sure you lift the edge of the cover every few weeks to confirm no leaves or debris has gotten into the pool. Most pools will self clean and maintain themselves well if there are proper chemical levels in the pool. To ensure the pool liner stays clean, check that the pool’s alkalinity, calcium hardness, pH, and chlorine levels are correct. You can use a testing kit to determine the chemical levels in the pool. Test the levels once a week to ensure they are correct.  In a standard size pool, the recommended chemical levels are a pH of 7.4-7.8, a total alkalinity level of 100-150 ppm (parts per million), and a calcium hardness of 200-250 ppm. The chlorine level in a non heated pool should be 1-3 ppm and the chlorine level in a heated pool should be 2-4 ppm. If you are covering your pool with a pool cover during the winter, reduce the amount of chemicals in the pool by 60%. Maintain the pool liner by cleaning your pool at least once a week. Use a skimmer to remove any leaves, dirt, and debris on the surface of the pool. Vacuum the pool to remove algae. Brush the pool liner with a pool brush to get rid of dirt before they become stains.  You may consider getting the pool professionally cleaned once a year, especially if you use it often.

To keep your bamboo steamer from drying out after washing, dab a piece of paper towel with cooking oil.  Run the oiled paper towel along the outer and inner surfaces of the bamboo steamer. Any cooking oil will do (for instance, vegetable oil or olive oil). Before using your bamboo steamer, soak it for about 20 minutes.  This will prevent the bamboo from burning during use. Soaking might not be appropriate for your bamboo steamer.  Consult manufacturer directions for information regarding whether soaking is warranted to prevent burning your steamer before use. Your bamboo steamer will require more cleaning if you place food directly on its lattice surface.  Instead, cut a piece of parchment paper to a size that your bamboo steamer can accommodate and place the food you want to steam on that.  Alternately, place a heatproof plate on the steamer lattice, then place the food you wish to steam on the plate. Ensure that any plate or parchment paper has a border of open space around its perimeter that will allow the steam to rise and envelop whatever you’re trying to steam.

Coat the steamer in oil after each washing. Soak the steamer before use. Don’t place food directly on the bamboo.


To keep your cuticles healthy, you should moisturize them every day. You can use moisturizing lotion, petroleum jelly, or your favorite oil, depending on what you prefer. Apply the moisturizer, then rub it so that your cuticles can absorb the moisture. Dry cuticles are more susceptible to peeling or splitting. If this happens, it can be very painful and can lead to infection, and it can also cause your cuticles to grow back thicker than before. Over time, your cuticles won't need to be pushed back as much, but it's still a good idea to keep them touched up. Keep an orange stick near your hand cream and take a few minutes to moisturize and push back your cuticles about once a week after you take a shower. Biting your nails can irreparably damage your nail bed, and chewing on your cuticles, hangnails, or the skin around your nails can lead to dangerous infection. In addition, damaging your cuticles can cause them to grow back thicker, making them harder to push back. Instead of biting your nails, use a nail file to smooth them out if they chip or split. Wooden orange sticks are porous, meaning it's difficult to completely sanitize them. It's best to just toss out the stick after you're finished using it so you don't have to worry about spreading bacteria the next time you give yourself a manicure. Wooden orange sticks are meant to be disposable, which is why they're inexpensive and often come in packs of 10 or more.

Moisturize your cuticles daily. Push your cuticles back once a week. Don't bite your nails or the skin around your nails. Use a new orange stick each time you push back your cuticles.


To keep your goldfish plant well-watered but not soggy, water it any time you notice the soil becoming dry. The soil should feel moist, but not waterlogged. You will not need to water your goldfish plant as often during the winter as during the summer. However, water it often enough that the soil never completely dries out. During the spring through early fall, give your goldfish plant a phosphorous-rich fertilizer once a week to encourage blooming. Don’t fertilize the plant during the winter. Choose a water-soluble fertilizer and follow the instructions on the package. Goldfish plants thrive and produce better blooms if you repot them every few years. Remove your plant from its pot and replant it in a clean, slightly larger pot with fresh potting soil. When you repot the plant, trim the ends of the roots slightly to encourage new root growth. Regular pruning will encourage healthy branching and keep your plant looking its best. Pinch off the tips of the stems regularly and trim back any branches that are starting to look too long or “leggy.” In addition to trimming the branches, regularly deadheading wilted blossoms can encourage the plant to produce more blooms. Goldfish plants are susceptible to a variety of pests, such as aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. If you notice that pests are attacking your plant, spray it down with a gentle insecticide soap. You can purchase insecticidal soap sprays at most gardening centers or home supply stores.

Water your plant often enough to keep the soil moist. Fertilize your plant once a week in the growing season. Repot the goldfish plant every 2-3 years. Keep the stems trimmed to 12–18 inches (30–46 cm) in length. Fight off pests with an insecticidal soap spray.


To keep your off-the-shoulder tops in place, you’ll need 4 safety pins and 2 hair ties. The safety pins don’t need to be big ones — they just have to be able to attach to a hair tie. Look for soft hair ties if you have them since they’ll be under your arm. If you don’t have hair ties, you can use rubber bands, but rubber bands won’t be as comfortable. Open a safety pin and attach it to one end of your hair tie. Take the other safety pin and pin it onto the other end of the hair tie, making sure both safety pins are properly closed until you’re ready to attach them to your top. Once both safety pins are hooked to the hair tie, attach one safety pin to the inside of your shirt. Do this while you're not wearing the shirt to avoid poking yourself with the safety pin.You should choose a spot that won’t be easily seen, like inside a seam or near elastic. Attach the safety pin to the front of your top, near your armpit. Take the other safety pin that’s attached to the hair tie and pin it to the back of your shirt, behind your armpit. Make sure both safety pins are securely fastened to the fabric. The hair tie should be positioned from the front of your shirt to the back. Once you’ve fixed the first side of your top, repeat the same process on the other side. Use the last 2 safety pins to attach a hair tie under the other arm of your top. Don't put the top on until all of the safety pins and both hair ties are attached to the top. After both hair ties are securely fastened to your off-the-shoulder top, it’s time to put it on. Weave your arm over the hair tie so that the hair tie is sitting under your armpit. If you need to make adjustments, take the top off and move the safety pins until they’re in the right spot.

To keep your teeth tartar free, you should have your teeth cleaned in a dental office on a regular basis. Be sure to schedule your cleanings in advance so you actually get them done on a regular basis. While many dental professionals recommend 2 cleanings per year, the actual number you need may vary. Talk to your dentist about how often you should get cleanings based on any risk factors or dental issues you have. If you are having pain or irritation in your mouth, it could be the sign of a problem that needs treatment. Contact your dentist and schedule an appointment to have your teeth looked at and treated. First, the dental hygienist will look inside your mouth and assess your teeth. They will look over all your teeth and look for signs of plaque and tartar build up. The hygienist will also look for signs of other dental problems, such as gingivitis. When you have your teeth cleaned by a hygienist, they will likely begin by manually removing plaque and tartar. To do this, they will use a metal pick called a scaler. The hygienist will then continue the cleaning by brushing your teeth with a gritty toothpaste. This will remove any remaining plaque and tartar on your teeth. The gritty toothpaste that is used in dental offices gives your teeth a shiny polish, but it should only be used twice a year. Using this type of toothpaste more often can damage the enamel surface of your teeth. After your dental hygienist gives your teeth a general cleaning, you may need more advanced care. If plaque and tartar have built up significantly, your hygienist may clean it away with an ultrasonic cleaner. This uses vibrations and water to clean off large chunks of tartar.

To keep your whitewall tires clean and avoid having to give them a heavy duty cleaning, take the time to wash them at least every two weeks. Use water, whitewall tire cleaner and a rag or sponge. If you do this cleaning frequently enough (e.g. every week), a gentle soap should be effective enough to use. If there is persistent dirt or discoloration, which is less likely if tires are regularly cleaned, use a stronger whitewall tire cleaner and scrub pad. After cleaning whitewall tires, use a water-based dressing to give your tires shine and protect them from harmful UV rays. Purchase the dressing and a foam applicator for it in the automotive department of most department stores, or online. Apply the foam to the applicator and wipe it onto your tires evenly until the desired effect is reached. When storing your whitewall tires, give them ample space so that they don't have to lean against each other. This may cause the black rubber of the tires to rub against the white rubber, smudging them. If you do have to lean them against each other, separate the tires with plastic sheeting or store them in individual bags.

To know when a vegetable is cooked by blanching, use a slotted spoon to remove a piece from the boiling water and taste it. If the texture is to your liking, it is done. As a general guide:  Leaf vegetables - removed and drain as soon as they stop being stiff     Tough greens, or strong-tasting greens - cook for up to 5 minutes, long enough to soften their texture and improve the flavor.

To lead a more fulfilling life, you first need to know what part of your current life is troubling or unsatisfactory. Reflect on different aspects of your life to figure out which are frustrating you the most.  Try closing your eyes and questioning "What part of my life dissatisfies me the most?" Whatever comes to mind first is probably where you'll want to start. For instance, your mind may have immediately focused on your job or relationship or friendships. If that's what popped up, it's probably what's troubling you most. Concentrate on the most immediate area where you'd like to change and create action-based goals for improving. Use SMART goals—that is, goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.  For instance, if your job is unsatisfactory, you might decide whether you want to quit, go back to school to change careers, or find creative ways to make your current job more fulfilling. If you choose to change careers, you might need to set several goals, like securing financial assistance and gaining admission in a desired program. Break each of your goals down so you can tackle them step-by-step. Also, set a reasonable deadline for completing the goal. As move along towards your goals, be sure to reflect on your progress. Checking out how far you've come boosts motivation to keep going. It also helps you determine whether you are now satisfied with one area and can move over to work on another area. You can track progress by putting the steps of your goals on a whiteboard or sheet of paper and checking off each step as you go.

To let out a truly evil laugh, you must connect with your inner malevolence. Think about things you hate, pet peeves, or evil plots. If you’re having trouble, try to think of someone you want to seek revenge on. (Do not actually seek revenge; you’re just getting some inspiration!). Perhaps try thinking of a prank or trick you’ve pulled on someone in the past. If you get stuck, try to think of the most vindictive thing you’ve ever done. Did something about it feel good? Try to connect with this part of yourself. If you don’t have a particularly evil life experience to draw upon, think of your favorite movie super villains. Cruella De Vil, The Joker, and Hannibal Lector are all good choices. Make a list of the characteristics that makes their evil laughs so memorable and good. Try to emulate these qualities in your laugh. Lots of villains with evil laughs have unusual looks. The more you feel like a villain and the less you feel like you, the more otherworldly and successful your evil laugh will be. You could don deathly, dark-colored clothes or try an unhinged wardrobe that’s layered and mismatched.  Make up is a fun way to get in touch with your dark side, too. Try Halloween make up with fake blood for a super scary look.

Think cruel things. Channel your favorite super villain. Wear something that makes you feel evil or mysterious.


To look sophisticated and put-together, dress in clothes that are clean, wrinkle-free, and flattering. If you’re not sure how to pick clothes that fit you properly, go to a tailor or a lingerie store for advice and a professional measurement.  You don’t need expensive designer clothes to look sophisticated. Wearing clothes that look tidy and fit you well is more important! Structured pieces, like a fitted blazer or an A-line skirt, can give you a classic, elegant look. Whether you’re attending a school dance, going on a job interview, or having dinner with family friends, choosing the right attire can make a big difference in the impression you make. Choose clothes that are modest and not too dressy or casual for the occasion.  For example, if you’re going to a formal wedding, a silk dress (knee-length or longer) or pantsuit would be a good choice. Just avoid wearing anything white or overly flashy so you don’t upstage the bride! For a job interview, a suit is a good bet, but you can also look sophisticated and put-together with a blouse, pencil skirt, and fitted jacket. Stick to a simple, minimalist style to help keep your wardrobe from becoming quickly outdated. Choose a few basic, high-quality clothing pieces in neutral colors. To liven up your look, pair your neutral wardrobe staples with some bold accessories.  For example, you might pair a classic little black dress with a colorful, chunky statement necklace. Simple pieces in solid colors are great for mixing and matching to create a variety of different outfits. Put a little effort into styling your hair each day. This will give you a tidy and well-groomed appearance. Your hair is likely to be one of the first things that other people notice about your appearance, so choose a style that reflects your cool, sophisticated side. For example:  Go for a short haircut if you want to look more confident and professional. A sleek updo is a great way to create an elegant look, especially for a special occasion. Your hair color can also affect how others...

To lose weight while getting in shape, you will need to create a calorie shortfall. This means that you will eat fewer calories than are needed to maintain your weight, causing your body to begin burning fat.Calculate how many calories you need to maintain your weight and then plan how many calories you can eat in a day (usually 2,000 calories a day). Sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats will contribute to keeping you from getting in shape. Avoid sugary drinks like soda, and anything which is high in saturated or trans fats (partially hardened or hardened fats, margarine). Instead, eat fruit as a dessert and foods with healthy fats like omega-3’s (found most easily in fish, olive oil and nuts). . You will need to eat a proper balance of protein, carbohydrates (found grains), fruits and vegetables, and dairy. Whole grains might comprise about 30% of the food you eat (if grains are not inflammatory for you), fruits and vegetables another 30% (weighted more towards vegetables), dairy 15%, very lean protein 15% or up to 40%, if you lower the calories from carbohydrates. Lower unhealthy fats, processed carbs and sugar to no more than 4% of you diet.  There are different types of fats. Some are good for you, while others are not. You should avoid trans fats (found in many commercially baked and snack foods) and limit saturated fats (ground meats, sausages, wieners, fried foods and butter). However, monounsaturated fats (olive oil, avocados) and polyunsaturated fats (fish, walnuts) are good for you. Good whole grains include whole wheat, whole oats, quinoa and brown rice. Good fruits and vegetables include chick peas/garbanzo beans (can be used to make hummus), beans, kale, broccoli, spinach, blueberries, strawberries, lemons and pears. . Your meals should have reasonable portions to keep you from taking in more calories than you need. Be careful not to overfill your plate - use a smaller plate if you’re unsure. Drink a glass of water with your meal, and eat slowly in order to help your body feel full. Eating protein...

To maintain the smooth shape of the dreads, roll them between your hands periodically. Start at the scalp and work your way down. Make the ends look rounded by smashing them against the palm of your hand to encourage the hairs to roll up into the dread.  Rolling can help make new growth dread faster or more neatly, however. Don't overdo the rolling, as the dreads will be more likely to unravel. Mix 3 parts aloe vera juice to 1 part natural oil (like coconut oil or sweet almond oil). Add up to 5 drops of an essential oil, like tea tree oil or lavender oil, if you want a scent. Put the mixture in a spray bottle. Lightly spritz your dreads every day.  Try spraying your dreads in the morning to help hydrate them after sleeping. If you don’t want to make your own spray, special dread moisturizer is available online or at some beauty stores. Wait at least 2-3 weeks after you first make the dreads to wash your hair. This helps prevent them from unraveling. Then, shampoo your scalp. When you rinse your scalp, the water will run down and clean the dreads without causing them to fray.  Use a dread bar or a reside-free shampoo that doesn't contain perfumes and conditioners, which can cause the dreads to smell. Wash your hair in the morning so that your dreads have time to dry. If you go to bed with wet hair, mildew and mold can grow there. As your hair grows and locks, some hair may become loose, especially close to your scalp. Use a crochet hook or a tweezers to grab strands of loose hair and then tuck them back into the dreads. For longer loose strands, twist them and then wrap them around the dreads before tucking them in. As your dreads mature, the individual hairs begin naturally knotting onto one another. After a while, your hair will grow into the dreads, but at first, it may become loose. Use your fingers to rub the new growth, section by section, to encourage it to knot up with the rest of the dreads.  It's not necessary to rub the dreads too often. As your dreads mature, the new growth will naturally knot up...

Roll the dreads once a day. Moisturize the dreads daily to prevent breakage. Wash your hair with shampoo once a week. Tuck in the loose hairs. Rub the roots to help new hair growth dread.


To make Ariel’s tail you’ll need 1 large piece of green fabric that has some stretch to it. Spandex is a good choice. Check out material intended for dancewear - you can find some really fun material, like a deep green fabric covered in green sequins and other sparkly things that would be great for Ariel. You’ll also need a sewing machine, green thread and scissors. Adjust it until you have the ideal fit for you. Make sure that, once wrapped around your waist, the material extends beyond your feet by about 6 inches. Pull it close to your legs all the way down, stopping at your heels. You can stop at your calves rather than your heels if you want a costume that's a bit easier to move around in. Before pinning it, make sure it fits you exactly how you want it to. You now have the foundation of the tail there. The green material will drift out in front of your feet about 6 inches, with the material gathered in at the heels in the back, creating a tail fin effect. You can keep the material on while you have a friend hand sew it all the way up, or you can take it off and use a sewing machine to stitch it together.

Gather your materials. Wrap the green material around your waist. Pin the garment in place from the heel to the waist. Sew the garment together from the heels to the waist.


To make Ariel’s top, you’ll need 4 components – 1 strapless purple bathing suit top (or bra or bandeau), 2 large seashells, and a swath of sheer purple fabric about the size and shape of a handkerchief. This is a very basic list and there are multiple ways to approach almost every element on it, so alternate options will be mentioned in each step. You can mix and match whatever works best for you to get your perfect Ariel costume. You’ll also need a sewing machine, purple thread, scissors, super glue, and light purple paint (lavender or lilac is the shade you want). You can use a machine to do this or sew it by hand, whichever you prefer. Since it’s such a minimal amount of sewing, you could easily do it by hand if you wanted to. The sheer fabric is square-shaped, and you want one of the flat sides to be the part that gets sewn into the purple strapless top. After it’s sewn on, the sheer fabric should hang at approximately your waist, covering most of your stomach. Try it on to make sure it looks the way you want it to before proceeding. If everything looks good, set the top aside for now. Ariel has 2 matching seashells on her top, one on each side. They are both approximately the size of your palm. You could do a perfectly fine Ariel costume without this element, but it’s a nice detail from the movie that will really set your costume apart. Skip ahead if you’re omitting the seashell element. To do the seashells, you can use actual seashells or a light purple felt fabric cut into seashell shapes.  If you want to use real seashells, check out Amazon (or another similar site). You can order them this way, and the price is relatively low. You want the shells to be about the same size, so when placing your order make sure you note that to the seller. If you live near an ocean, you can always get your shells by making a trip to the beach. If you’re using fabric for the shells, get purple felt (if possible, a shade lighter than the rest of the top is). If you’re using real shells, you’ll need to paint them to be a...

To make a French Pouf rose, you'll need a few feet of fabric, scissors, and a hot glue gun. Draw a basic flower shape on a piece of fabric the size that you want our flower to be. It can be as large or small as you'd like, but working with flowers smaller than about two inches across will be difficult. Around 4" will work well. Cut along the line. Then use the first flower shape to trace the same shape on four to nine other pieces of fabric.  Cut out all the flower shapes.  To draw a flower shape, start with a circle, then draw half circles around the circle. If you want, you can print out and use of the templates provided here http://www.oneprojectcloser.com/make-fabric-flowers-tutorial/. How many flower shapes of fabric you use depends on how thick the fabric you're using is. Make fewer when using thicker fabric. Cut out a small circle of fabric. If you cut your flower shapes around 4" wide, a 2" inch wide circle will do. Place a dot of hot glue in the center of the circle. Fold one of the flower shapes in half. Place the edge of the flower on the dot of hot glue so that when the flower is unfolded it is centered on the circle For each of the other flower shapes, place another dot of hot glue in the center of the flower, fold the flower shape in half, and place it on the hot glue. Rotate the base slightly in between gluing each flower shape so that the shapes aren't aligned. Stop before you use the last two of your flower shapes. For the final two flower shapes, fold them in half, then push the two outer edges inward so that they touch. Do this with both of the last flower shapes. Then glue them to the center of the flower. If your fabric rose is lying a little flat, you can use your fingers to ruffle and wrinkle the petals. That way it looks more flower-like.

To make a bamboo flute, you’ll need a drill, a rotary tool such as a Dremel, and attachments for it. You’ll also need a general purpose hand-held sander, masking tape, a saw, a ruler or measuring tape, and a box cutter or sharp knife. You should be able to find all of these items from the hardware store. Of course, you’ll need some bamboo as well, and you don’t always have to buy it. Even if it is not a plant that is native to your area, sometimes you can find it growing on the side of the road because these plants tend to take root and flourish almost anywhere. However, if you are unable to find bamboo out in nature, head to your local hardware store and buy from there. Also, look in your local yellow pages. Carpet stores sometimes have bamboo flooring that comes in bamboo rods that you could use. When you’re selecting bamboo, make sure that the diameter is  between 3/4 inches and 7/8 inches. However, thin-walled bamboo about 1/8 inch-thick or so produces the best sound. Also, look for a good piece of seasoned bamboo that isn’t cracked. It shouldn’t be really flexible or have any visible cracks, rips, splinters or holes. Make sure that the bamboo has at least one node -- a notch where it is solid inside instead of hollow like the other parts of the bamboo. It’s usually marked by circular ridges that look like joints on the bamboo. One node at the end of the flute will become what is known as the  “cork.” The node should be smooth and without holes on the inside or the outside so that the flute has proper tone.

To make a basic pie crust, you will need a food processor, a rolling pin, a knife to cut the butter, plastic wrap, extra flour for dusting, and a 9-inch pie plate. You can use two forks or a pastry cutter if you don’t have a food processor. When making pastries, it’s always important to use cold butter, because this will create air pockets that make the crust light and flakey. Cut your butter into half-inch (1.3-cm) cubes and chill them in the freezer for at least an hour. The butter can be chilled or even frozen when you make pastry, and that’s why you should cut it into cubes before chilling. Pour the flour and salt into the food processor and pulse it a few times to combine them. Then add the butter and continue pulsing the mixture until you have pea-sized clumps of butter. To do this without a food processor, use the two forks simultaneously or the pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized bits. Pour this into the mixture one tablespoon (15 ml) at a time. Continue pulsing until each tablespoon has been worked in, and then add another if necessary. The dough is ready when it comes together and is moist but not wet. Cover a countertop or flat surface with a light dusting of flour. Break the dough into five or six smaller pieces and transfer them to the floured surface. With the heel of your hand, flatten each piece out on the counter. This process is called smearing, and it helps distribute the butter evenly.  Bring the pieces back together and form the dough into a ball. Wrap it tightly with a piece of plastic wrap and transfer it to the fridge. Chill the dough for at least one hour before using. You can also keep the dough in the fridge for up to two days, or freeze it for later use. When the dough has had time to chill, remove it from the fridge and unwrap it. Flour a flat surface and transfer the dough to it. Flour the surface of your rolling pin as well.  Place the rolling pin in the center of the dough ball and apply pressure as you push the rolling pin away from...

To make a cardboard boomerang you will need a few materials ready before you begin. Most of the materials are things you have at home already.  Cardboard. This can be cardboard from a box, a cereal box, or any other cardboard you have and want to recycle.  Ruler or Protractor Pen or Pencil A marker Scissors A small water bottle Use the ruler to measure a medium sized square, about a 10 x 10 inch square. Make sure all four sides of your square are the exact same length and have straight lines. Use the scissors to cut out the square of cardboard. Make sure you follow the lines perfectly when cutting out your square so that you end up with a perfect square. It’s important that the arms of your boomerang are all the exact same size, so making it from an equilateral triangle will help. Make sure you measure accurately before cutting.  Measure one side of the square and make a mark at the halfway mark. Make another halfway mark on the opposite side as well, and use the ruler to draw a straight line between them. This should make a line running down the center of the square. Position the square in front of you so that the line is running up to down. Use your ruler to draw a line from the top of the first line to the bottom right corner of the square. This line should be the same size as the sides of your square. Repeat this to make a line from the top of the first line to the bottom left corner as well. You should now have a triangle shape on your square. Use scissors to cut the triangle out. One side of the triangle should already have a line drawn from the center up to the top corner, but you need to mark the center of the other two sides. Use your ruler to measure the sides and make a mark at the halfway point.  Use the ruler to draw straight lines from the marks you made to the corner opposite the side the mark is on. You should now have a line going directly through the center or each corner of the triangle. Use the ruler to make marks two inches from either side of the lines going through the corners. Make a...

To make a chain of two, first loop the yarn over your index and middle finger twice. Then, slide this loop onto the hook and pull the tail to tighten it. Loop the yarn over the hook and pull through to make your first chain. Loop the yarn over again and pull through to make your second chain. For a wider I-cord, you can chain more than two stitches, such as three, four, or five stitches. You will be working into both of the chains you have created to make your I-cord. Slip the second chain onto the hook so that it is in front of your first chain. You should now have two loops on your hook. If you are making an I-cord out of a chain of three or more, then just slip the second chain on the hook for now. You will be chaining each of your loops separately in an alternating fashion to create your I-cord. Loop the yarn over the hook and pull it through your first chain to create the first new chain link. If you are creating an I-cord that is more than two chains, work on one chain at a time. For example, if you are making a chain of three, then you will need to chain into the second loop first and then slide the third chain onto the hook and chain into that loop. Next, grasp this new loop you have made and slide it off of the hook. Be careful not to pull on your yarn or the loop may come undone. If you are making an I-cord of more than two strands, then slip each loop off the hook as you create them and be careful not to pull on the loops. While one loop is off of the hook, loop the yarn over the hook and create a new chain with the loop that is still on the hook. If you are making a chain of three or more, then you will need to take this new loop that you made off of the hook as well and continue chaining your stitches one at a time until you reach the last one. Don’t take the last one off of the hook. For a two chain I-cord, you will just be slipping one chain on and off the hook and alternating which one you are working. If you are making a two chain I-cord, then you can slide your other loop back onto the hook...

To make a citrus flavored apple jam, cook your prepared apples with lemon juice until the apples soften and break down. Stir in pure honey and sugar. Bring the jam to a boil over medium-low heat and add liquid pectin. Boil the jam for 2 more minutes and add lemon zest. You can them process the jam in 7 pint jars. To make this variation, you'll need:  12 cups of chopped peeled, cored, and diced apples 2 cups of lemons juice 2 cups of honey 3 cups of granulated sugar 1 envelope of liquid pectin Lemon zest from 3 lemons For a soothing flavor, create a ginger liquid by pureeing 12 ounces of chopped fresh ginger with 8 ounces of water. Strain the liquid through cheesecloth to get 2 cups of ginger liquid. To make the jam, place all of the liquid into a large pot with 8 cups of peeled, cored and diced or grated apples and 5 cups of granulated sugar. Bring the jam to a boil and let it boil for 25 to 30 minutes. You can then process the jam, which will make about 6 pints. If you're using a candy thermometer to check if the jam is set, the temperature should reach between 215 and 220 degrees F. Mix together prepared apples, whole fresh cranberries, sugar and water in a large cook pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat and let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the lemon zest and juice. Keep lightly boiling the jam until it thickens. You can process it in about 4 to 5 pint jars. You'll need:  8 cups of apples 6 cups of granulated sugar 1 cup of water The juice and zest of 2 lemons If you like the taste of apple jam, but don't want to use as much sugar, make apple butter in a slow cooker. Place 5 pounds of quartered apples in a slow cooker along with 1 cup of apple cider and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. Once the apples are soft (after cooking 3 or 4 hours), mash and strain them to remove the peels and seeds. Add 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Cook a few more hours until the apple butter is thick and you can process...

To make a disappearing handkerchief box, you’ll need to gather several household items:  Thin cardboard or posterboard Tape Scissors Handkerchief Paint, wrapping paper, and other decorative items Glue Black construction paper or black paint Use a ruler and pencil to mark out your squares, and cut them out using a pair of sharp, sturdy scissors. You can make your magic box any size that you want, but you’ll need six squares of the same size no matter what their size. For a manageable small box, measure 4”-6” squares. You can do this by gluing the cardboard squares onto the black construction paper or by painting one side with black paint. For one square, glue black paper to or paint both sides.  Paper may be preferable, as it is the same color and texture throughout. You also don't have to worry about smearing the paint. If you glue your squares to construction paper, allow the glue to dry. Then cut them out and trim the excess paper from the edges. Place four squares on your work surface with the black side down. Tape their edges together, then bring the last two sides together to form a box. Place a strip of tape on the outside of that edge too. Don’t use the double-sided square for this step. Place the remaining single-sided cardboard square on your work surface with the black side face up. Place one edge of the double-sided square about ⅓ of the way from one edge of the square. Secure with tape on that side to form a hinge. Slide the four-sided box you made in Step 4 over the secret compartment piece. The double-sided square should create a flap inside the box and should be able to move freely back and forth. Secure at the bottom with tape. If the flap isn’t able to move, trim the edges just a little bit. Don’t trim too much, or you’ll ruin the illusion. Use paint, wrapping paper, and/or stickers to decorate the outside of the box. Make it as colorful as you can; the vivid colors and patterns will help distract your audience as you perform the trick. Push the flap forward to open the secret compartment,...
