to work out if coconut oil is suitable for you. Wash your face with water as soon as you wake up in the morning and don’t apply any other products. Wait for 4-5 hours and then check your skin the mirror. If your skin has dry or red patches, this means that you have a dry skin type. However, if your face looks oily all over, this means that you have an oily skin type.  Make sure that you don’t wipe or blot your face during this time so that you get an accurate result for your skin type. There are also a few other skin types. For example, you have a normal skin type if your skin does not change, or a combination skin type if just your T-zone looks oily. Alternatively, a dermatologist will be able to professionally determine your skin type. Look at your result from the skin type test. Coconut oil may be beneficial to your skin if it’s too dry or too oily, however, it may not be useful if you have a normal or combination skin type.  Coconut oil can be useful for people with dry skin, as it can add oil and moisture which your skin needs to be healthy. Contrastingly, it can also be helpful for people with oily skin, as many harsh acne treatment products will strip your skin of too many natural oils. This means that your skin overcompensates by producing too much oil which exacerbates the acne. Coconut oil has a score of 4 out of 5 on the comedogenicity scale. This scale ranks ingredients from the least pore blocking (1) to the most pore blocking (5). This means that coconut oil may not be helpful in treating acne for all skin types. Massage a small amount of coconut oil into the inside of your arm. Wait for 72 hours and check your skin again for any signs of irritation.  Redness, swelling, and itchiness are signs of irritation. You can do the patch test on a different area of your skin instead if you prefer. Try your neck, behind an ear, or a tiny area of your face. If you don’t notice a reaction then you can assume that the coconut oil is safe for your skin.

Determine your skin type Use coconut oil only if you have a very dry or very oily skin type. Do a patch test to check that coconut oil is safe for your skin.


to your friends. You've probably heard of fair-weather friends. They're the ones who are happy to be around you when things are going well, but are nowhere to be found when you really need them. Being a loyal friend will attract other people to you who value that quality. This is a good way to put your money where your mouth is and attract the kind of friends you want in your life.  Part of being a friend is being prepared to make sacrifices of your time and energy in order to help out your friends. Just be nice. If a friend needs help with an unpleasant chore, or if they just need a shoulder to cry on, be there for them. Good friendships take a lot of work. If your friend is always checking up on you, initiating get-togethers, remembering your birthdays, and offering to spot you lunch, it’s important that you try to do the same whenever you can.  Check in with yourself occasionally and ask if you’re being the kind of friend you’d want to have. On the other side of the coin, ask yourself if your friend is doing their part. If not, it might be time to have a heart-to-heart talk with your friend (but take care not to make accusations or lay all the blame on them if the friendship isn’t going the way you want). When you say you'll do something, do it. Be someone that people know that they can count on. If you embody these qualities in your treatment of others, it will attract others who appreciate reliability and who will be reliable in return.  If you and your friend agree to meet somewhere, don't be late, and do not stand them up. If you're not going to make it on time or make it at all, call them as soon as you realize it. Apologize and ask to reschedule. Don't make them wait for you unexpectedly; it's rude, and it is certainly not a good way to launch a potential friendship. . Many people think that in order to be seen as "friend material," they have to appear very interesting. Far more important than this, however, is the ability to show that you're interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say,...

until they are 10 months old. Newborn or baby lovebirds do well with being hand-fed. This can be a time-consuming process but it is ideal if you are raising a baby bird from infancy and want it to do well. Often, hand-fed lovebirds grow much stronger and happier than baby lovebirds that are fed from a bowl. Look for a small syringe with a small opening. You can find them at local pet stores or online. You will also need baby bird food, which often comes in a powder.  You will need to mix the powder into boiling water to make the formula for feeding. Follow the instructions on the package for the ratio of water to powder. Hold the baby lovebird in one hand with your fingers wrapped lightly around its chest. Fill the syringe with the formula to 6-8ml. Put a small amount on your palm to make sure the formula is not too hot, just warm to the touch. Gently tilt the baby’s head upwards. Place the syringe into the baby’s beak and start feeding it. Let the baby bird consume the formula slowly and at its own speed. Do not try to force the baby to eat from the syringe. The crop is an upper section of the baby bird’s stomach that inflates as it eats. Once it is bulging, you can stop feeding the bird. Feed the bird formula every three to four hours. Always feed it until its crop is bulging, never any more than that. Use a clean towel to gently wipe off the lovebird’s beak once it is done eating. Most lovebirds will go to sleep after eating.

until you’re left with just the frame. Remove both wheels, the left and right cranks, the bottom bracket, the front and rear derailleurs, the chain, the brakes, the handlebars, the seat, and the front forks. If you have any attachments on your bike, like a water bottle holder, take the screws off from those too. Put the screws and tiny parts from the bike in labeled plastic baggies so it’s easier to reassemble it later. You might have a hard time taking them off if they’re old and really stuck on there. If they won’t peel off, use a blow dryer or heat gun to warm them up. The adhesive on the labels will loosen when it’s warmed, making it easier to remove the labels from the frame. If you’re having trouble peeling a label off with your fingers, use a putty knife to lift the edges of the label up off the frame. If there’s any glue residue left over from the decals, spray a product like WD-40 on the frame and wipe off the residue with a cloth. If the frame has a thick or glossy paint on it, use a low-grit (rough) sandpaper to remove a lot of the old paint. If the frame has a matte paint on it or it’s completely bare, use a high-grit (fine) sandpaper. Use a cloth with soapy water. There are a few parts of the frame that should be left paint-free:  The posts for the brakes. Any bearing surfaces. Any threads on the bike where something will need to be screwed in when you reassemble it.

use moveable solfege. The great thing about the "Do, Re, Mi" scale, called solfege, is that it can be done without an instrument. Moveable solfege is frequently used by vocalists, as it teaches you relative pitch with relation to the scale of notes for the key in which you are singing.  If you already know the solfege scale and only need a refresher, check out how to sight sing. The basic solfege scale is: Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do. Like the notes of a normal musical scale, these tones repeat at every octave (8-note) interval. Practice by starting your solfege scale on the root of your key. For example, you could start "Do" on C, and with each white note interval up the keyboard, you ascend the solfege scale. If you know how chords and scales naturally develop from a root note, like C, you will be able to recognize more complicated arrangements of notes. For example, if you are already well familiar with a diminished chord, once you hear the tonic (root note) of it, you will be able to predict, either with your voice, your instrument, or in your head, the sound of that chord. Practicing scales and arpeggios encourage ear training by conditioning it to innately know and predict the flow of notes through a piece of music. Some might believe scales boring, but true musicians know the value of this kind of practice. Singing is something you are able to do most of the time when you're on your own. Choose a note and start practicing your own made-up melody. Try to include intervals or chord structure you have learned, like augmented chords or diminished chords, which are more difficult than major or minor chords. Do this frequently to gain greater familiarity and mastery over your mental representation of the sounds you have learned. This can help you better internalize the role of that instrument in the music. You might sing along with the rhythm of the bass, or follow along with a reoccurring cymbal. Singing along with specific instruments also challenges your ear, as you will have to listen to the sound carefully...

Do Root out the root notes. Sing your own melodies to practice intervals. Sing along with a single instrument while listening to music. Compare yourself to a musical point of reference. Consider making use of an ear training app.


using a postal scale. Electronic postal or pocket scales can be purchased from office suppliers and big-box stores. Set it to measure grams, place your wood onto it, and take note of your wood's weight. If you'd like to keep your scale clean, place a container onto the scale, hit "Tare," and then place the wood in. Use a scale that has an accuracy within 0.1% for the best results. Otherwise, accuracy should be at least within 0.035 ounces (0.99 g). For pin-type moisture meters, press the 2 tips into the wood and activate it for the moisture reading. For pinless meters, press the base of its scanning plate against the wood and turn the meter on. Record the moisture content, which will be a percentage between 0 and 100. Purchase moisture meters from home hardware stores and online suppliers. Place 3 to 5 paper towels onto the microwave oven's plate and place your wood on top. Most ovens come with a "Low" setting and a "Defrost" setting that is slightly higher. Set it to "Low" and look out for smoke—this is a sign that you have burnt away some of the wood weight and volume and any moisture measurements will be inaccurate. Never let wood pieces touch if you're heating multiple samples or they can light on fire. For most microwaves, the next heat level above "Low" is "Defrost." Layer 5 paper towels onto the microwave oven's plate, place your wood on top, and set your microwave to "Defrost." If you don't mind waiting, you can set it to the lowest setting, and wait about 4 minutes instead. If you smell smoke or burning on "Defrost," switch to the "Low" heat setting. Following the first round of heating, weigh your samples on the scale and record the weights. When drying wood, you will notice each piece loses weight, which is a sign that moisture is leaving. The goal is to continue heating your wood pieces until there is no weight change and each of their moisture contents is stable. Remember that different types of wood dry at different rates. Don't be surprised if some pieces lose moisture slower or faster than...

Continue heating your wood and weighing it until there are no weight changes.


using a water-bath method. Canning preserves the food in an air-free environment. Without air, there is no way for bacteria to form, allowing canned foods to have a shelf life of 1-5 years. Most fruits and acidic vegetables will be canned in a water bath. This method of canning, good for high-acid foods, involves placing food in sterilized canning jars, putting lids on them, and then lowering them into water that comes to a boil. Be sure to follow a recipe, or consult the website cited below for an array of canning ideas, recipes, and videos. Using this method, you can preserve:   Jams and jellies Fruit pieces – peaches, apples, pears, pineapple, plums, etc. Salsas Tomatoes Chutneys Pickles This is the way you will need to can meats and most vegetables, all of which are low-acid. Keep in mind that if you are putting a high-acid and a low-acid food together to be canned, you must also use this method. Like the water-bath method, pressure canning requires you to fill sterilized jars with the food you want to can, cover with the appropriate lids and then placing them into a pressure canner with boiling water in it. You will then lock the pressure canner lid into place and vent it, allowing it to create steam for 10 minutes. As was the case with the water-bath method, be sure to use a recipe. This method is best for:  Vegetables – corn, green beans, Soups and stews  Stock – both vegetable and meat Meat Poultry Fish your food. Pickling refers to multiple processes – usually involving fermentation and canning though it might be only one or the other. The usual pickling process is for cucumber pickles involves canning them in a vinegar brine. This process can also be used for an array of other fruits and vegetables, including:  Okra Peppers Ginger Green beans Brussels sprouts Cauliflower Eggplant Watermelon rinds Lemons Pineapple Ferment cucumbers or cabbage to make pickles and sauerkraut.

using your favorite recipe. Parsley freezes beautifully in the form of pesto, a blend of herbs, oil and nuts. Making pesto is a great way to preserve the bright flavor of parsley in the form of a convenient sauce that can be used to top pasta, salad, meat, or fish. To make pesto, do the following:  Wash and chop 2 cups of parsley. Blend 1 cup walnuts or cashews, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 3 cloves garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Add 1/2 cup olive oil while the processor is running. Add the parsley and blend until smooth. Put the amount you'll use per meal in individual bags, so it will be easy to grab one and thaw it out when you need one. Stack them flat until they are frozen solid. Once they are frozen, you can store them upright to create more room in the freezer.

when visiting a salon. Reputable salons use good sanitation practices to protect their clients and employees from skin infections, but it is still possible to get an infection from a reputable salon. There are some things you should keep in mind whenever you go for a manicure or pedicure.  Make sure that any salon that you visit is licensed by the state health department. Ask how the nail tools are sanitized between uses. The tools should be heat-sanitized with an autoclave to kill all of the germs and bacteria. Other methods are not as effective. Never get a manicure or pedicure if you know that you have nail fungus. You may spread it to the nail technician. Tell the nail technician not to push back or trim your cuticles. This increases your risk of infection. Wash your hands before a manicure and request that the nail technician does the same. The nail technician should also wear gloves. Request a liner for the whirlpool bath or bring your own if you know that the salon does not provide them. By practicing good hygiene you may be able to avoid contracting nail fungus.  Keeping your hands and feet clean and dry is a simple way to prevent nail fungus from infecting your nails.  Keep your nails trimmed short and keep them dry. Wash your hands and feet regularly. Remember to use soap. If you have nail fungus, avoid touching anything after touching your nails, as this can spread the fungus. Feet are often subjected to conditions that carry a higher risk of contracting nail fungus.  Shoes and socks create warm and moist environments, which is what nail fungus needs to grow.  Take some of the following steps to prevent toenail fungus.  Wear shoes that allow for airflow. Don't wear socks that cause your feet to sweat. Look for bamboo or polypropylene socks and avoid cotton. Change your socks often. Don't share shoes or socks with anyone. Alternate which pair of shoes you wear from day to day.

when you are not using them. Up to 30% of power used by TV is used while they are turned off, so buy power strips and just flip the switch on the power strip, because they use far less energy while turned off. An extra layer or blanket will not only keep you cozy but will help to reduce your electricity bill significantly. Insulation keeps the heat and cool on the correct side of your living space. Consider not only the ceiling but also the walls and under the floors. Keep windows and doors closed properly to avoid the loss of heat in winter. Open the windows in summer. The cross breeze will often keep you cool and flushes out stale air (indoor air is often more highly polluted than the air outside). Importantly, the use of fresh air to cycle through your home saves the cost of running an air conditioner. Using only air conditioning units can be inefficient, but pairing fans and air conditioning will significantly increases effectiveness of temperature control. The fans will circulate the warmed or cooled air generated by the air conditioning unit. Gaps reduce energy efficiency in a home. By caulking gaps around windows and doors, you increase the ability of your house to retain heat and cool at the right times of year, allowing your heating and cooling systems to work less. They last longer and consume one-quarter of the energy. Lately, LED lamps have started to pick up the pace too -- they are up to ten times as effective as fluorescent, and totally blow incandescent bulbs off the charts.

when you sleep. This plastic mouthpiece will cover your teeth and prevent you from grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw. Your doctor will create a custom mouthguard for you to wear at night while you sleep. It will be molded to fit your teeth and bite, making it more comfortable than a generic mouthguard you buy at the store. Make sure the mouthguard fits you well and that you wear it every night. Regular use of a mouthguard can prevent lockjaw and keep your jaw healthy. Stay away from tough meats like steak and raw vegetables like carrots or broccoli. Do not have hard or chewy candies, as they can put stress on your jaw. Avoid chewing on ice cubes, as they can be hard on your teeth and jaw. When you eat foods, make sure you do not open your mouth too wide, as this can cause the disc in your jaw to shift. Chew your food slowly and carefully so you do not bite down too hard or shift your jaw out of place. Get in the habit of massaging your jaw before bed or in the morning so it stays relaxed and loose. Perform jaw exercises once a day or several time a week so your jaw does not become tense or tight. . Stress and anxiety can cause you to clench or tighten your jaw, which can lead to lockjaw. Stay active by exercising once a day or going for a relaxing run or walk so you have an outlet for your stress. Do a calming activity like painting, knitting, or drawing on a regular basis so you can stay relaxed. You can also spend time with friends and family to de-stress so you stay healthy and relaxed.

whenever you are thirsty. Staying well-hydrated can help to promote healthier skin that is less prone to dryness. Drink a glass of water whenever you feel thirsty and at times when you would normally drink something, such as at mealtimes and after exercising. Try keeping a reusable water bottle with you and refilling it throughout the day. Drinking alcohol dries out your skin because alcohol is a diuretic, which means it pulls water from your body. If you suffer from dry skin and you drink alcohol regularly, cutting it out can have a dramatic effect on your skin’s appearance. Try to limit yourself to no more than 1 to 2 drinks every other day if you do drink. It might take a few weeks before you notice the effects of not drinking on your skin. Vitamin C is a potent nutrient for skin health. If you suffer from dry skin on your face, start eating more vitamin C-rich foods to see if this helps. Some good options include:  Citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruit, lemon, and limes Kiwi, mangoes, and papaya Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries Cantaloupe and honeydew melon Broccoli, cauliflower, and kale Potatoes and sweet potatoes Red bell peppers Hair, skin, and nail vitamins may help to promote healthier skin and reduce dryness if you take them over time. Look for a multivitamin that is meant to promote hair, skin, and nail health and take it daily according to the manufacturer’s instructions. These supplements usually contain a combination of vitamins A, B, C, and E, but some may also contain omega-3 fatty acids and other ingredients. Check with your doctor before you start taking any supplements, especially if you regularly take a prescription medication or over-the-counter drugs or supplements.

where you and the team have great chemistry. Joining a good MMA team is one of the most important things any fighter can do. If you do not have good training partners and a good coach, then you won't get very far in this sport. Find a coach and team that have produced the results you are looking for in your own training and stick with them.  When looking for the right gym, you need to meet people that train there. Watch a practice and learn whether or not you gel.  Sit with coaches, talk about the goals you have as a fighter, and learn whether or not the gym is the place you want to call your home. The strength of a gym has an inverse relationship to deficiencies you have as a fighter. Unless you’re training at a gym that offers you the opportunity to address weaknesses and round yourself out as a better fighter.  For example, if you’re from a Muay Thai background, you might want to train somewhere that helps you with wrestling to make you a better MMA fighter all around. Becoming as varied as possible in your skill set as a fighter will help you become the best. A gym that teaches you a combination of boxing and jiu jitsu is a great starting point.  Assess the size of the guys that train at the gym you’re looking into. If you look at them and feel you need bigger guys to fight, choose a gym that addresses that need. Fighting bigger guys is crucial to giving you the best idea of what it’ll be like to fight someone in a cage match. Make sure that there is a line between training and hurting yourself and/or others. Be sure that the coach keeps an eye on how everyone is relating to everyone else.  The environment should facilitate one where everyone is going 110% at any given time during sparring opportunities. The environment should also be one where everyone cares about each other so that no one is ever seriously hurt. Training is preparation, not actual MMA fighting matches.

with a carbide-tipped metal-cutting blade. Thicker sheets of plexiglass will need to be cut with a saw. Make sure the teeth of the blade are evenly spaced and the same size and shape for an even cut. A carbide-tipped blade that’s designed for cutting metal is strong enough to cut the sheet without any dust or debris flying off into the air.  The fewer number of teeth on the blade will minimize the amount of dust or debris that cutting the plexiglass will produce. There are blades specially designed for cutting plexiglass that you can use as well. Place the sheet of plexiglass on a sawhorse so you can cut through the sheet while keeping it flat and secure. Use a straight edge or a ruler to mark a straight line on the sheet of plexiglass. This line will be your cutting guide so make sure it is straight and visible. Use a dry-erase marker so you can easily erase the markings if you need to make adjustments. The circular saw will have a viewer or a slot that allows you to see where the saw is lined up. Put this guide in line with the marking that you put on the sheet of plexiglass. Make sure the sheet is secure and doesn’t shake or move. The blade of the saw must be rotating at full speed before it makes contact with the sheet to create a smooth and even cut. Turn on the saw and allow it to rotate until it gets to its full speed. Cutting the sheet before the saw has reached full speed could cause the teeth of the blade to snag on the sheet and create a jagged or choppy cut. Use the cutting guide and the straight line to guide the saw through the sheet. Push the saw at a steady and consistent pace to prevent the saw from jamming.  If the saw is stuttering or catching, you may be pushing the saw too fast. Stop pushing to let the blade get back up to speed and then continue to push the blade through the sheet. Make sure the 2 halves are balanced on the sawhorse so they don’t fall to the ground when you finish cutting through the sheet.

Use a circular saw Set the sheet down on a sawhorse mark where you want to cut. Align the cutting guide of the saw with the line you marked. Bring the saw to full speed before cutting the sheet. Push the saw slowly and smoothly through the plexiglass sheet.


with a mild facial cleanser twice per day. Splash your face with lukewarm water, then apply a dime-sized amount of facial cleanser using your fingertips. Work the cleanser around your cheeks, chin, nose, eyelids, and forehead. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing your face with a washcloth.  Then, rinse the soap off with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a clean towel. Never sleep with your makeup on. Always remove it and wash your face before you go to bed. You can easily make your skin appear more luminous by brushing or scrubbing it. Use a loofah sponge or skin brush when you shower to brush your skin. Brush towards your heart to promote better circulation. Another option is to use an exfoliating scrub to cleanse your skin. This will slough off any dead skin and make your skin look fresh and smooth. Foundation is an easy way to improve your skin tone. Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone well, and apply it with a makeup sponge. Apply the foundation in very thin layers and let each layer dry for about 5 minutes before applying more. This will allow you to achieve the level of coverage that you want. For example, if you want light coverage, you might only apply 1 to 2 layers, but if you want full coverage, you might need 3 to 4 layers. Eating lots of sugar can have a negative effect on your skin, such as by causing breakouts, so make sure to limit your intake of sweets and processed carbohydrates, such as white bread, pasta, and white rice. Instead, opt for whole grains, fruits, and veggies to get your carbohydrate fix. If you’re short on time or taking a day off from shampoo, spray dry shampoo all over your roots and work it in with you fingertips. Then, brush your hair thoroughly to distribute the dry shampoo. Your hair will look clean and voluminous after you’re done. To save even more time, try applying dry shampoo before you go to bed. The dry shampoo will have more time to absorb the oils in your hair and give it a freshly-washed appearance. You don’t need to get a manicure to make your nails...

with a toothbrush. Most often, the first place you should turn to when looking for answers is a good homemade solution; in the case of skin and lip care, there's nowhere better to start than with exfoliation. Like the rest of your body and face, your lips build up dead skin particles; these reflect less light than the rest of your lips, and may have the effect of making your lips look smaller. Using a toothbrush and lightly scrubbing in small, circular motions for two minutes will remove the excess skin matter, leaving your lips looking brighter, and feeling softer.  Refrain from using anything more abrasive than a toothbrush for this kind of exfoliation. Lips don't hold up well to a body loofah! If you're looking for a perfect, simple homemade exfoliator for your lips, a basic mixture of brown sugar and honey is just the thing for adding radiance and moisture. First, get a teaspoon of brown sugar, then proceed to slowly add the honey until there is enough to make a thick paste. Once this easy mixture is prepared, dab it with a washcloth and rub your lips in a gentle, circular motion. The grainy texture of the sugar will scrub away the dead flakes, and the beneficial chemical properties of the ingredients will give your lips a more radiant shine.  Coconut and olive oil work in the place of honey for this mixture, if you have a supply or preference favouring one over the other. Apply some unscented lip balm after you've cleaned off the paste. This will help immediately soften your lips post-exfoliation. If you're looking for another DIY exfoliator to work with, try adding a small amount of water to a teaspoon of baking soda. Baking soda ranks among the most versatile home ingredients out there, and its benefits can be geared to apply to lip care as well. Making and using a baking soda mix follows a similar method to the coconut oil:  First, add enough water that the baking soda becomes a thick paste, much like a brown sugar exfoliator. Once complete,  dab the solution with a washcloth or your finger, and...

Afterward, gently tilt the wheelbarrow forward and pour the cement into the holes. Use a hand float the level the surface of the cement with the ground when you're done. After inserting the posts into the holes, press them down to make sure that their bottoms are flat against the bottom of the hole. Do this as quickly as possible and make sure that they're perfectly vertical. If you have to, hold them in place with your hands until they settle into a vertical position. Make sure that they remain in place after letting them go. You can also place 2 by 4 inch (5.1 cm × 10.2 cm) boards on either side of the posts to hold them in place. Once your posts are securely settled into the concrete, give the concrete time to cure. By waiting for a week, you're ensuring that the posts will be sturdy enough to support the weight of the rest of the fence. Read the directions on the package of concrete mix for specific curing instructions, as these can vary between brands. Use carriage bolts and an electric drill to connect your boards to the outside of your posts. Take care to ensure that the leftmost and rightmost part of each board aligns with the vertical center line of each post they connect to.  If your boards are shorter than the length between your posts, cut them so that they sit in the middle of each post. Place 16 penny nails or deck screws between each deck board to space them enough for expansion. Use the soil you removed from the trench to fill the area behind the boards. If you need more, purchase some from a home and garden store. Be sure to pack the soil down firmly when you're done. If you need to purchase additional soil, make sure it's a similar composition as the soil from your trench.

with greater attentiveness. If you are in a class, the first thing you should do is to pay attention. Try reviewing what you learned by asking yourself questions about the chapter or lesson your learning about, try to understand it more. If your boredom is a result of not understanding the class materials, seek help. The whole point of education is to learn, not to behave as if you know what you're doing when you don't. If you ask for help, teachers view you as motivated and willing to learn, not as stupid. You might also ask your parents about getting a tutor, if the gaps in your knowledge are quite large. A tutor involves one-on-one learning and most of the time, you'll find this results in much faster learning and easier understanding, allowing you to catch up quickly.  If any teacher implies that you're stupid, then it's time to see someone about the teacher's approach to teaching, not see this as a reflection on you. Any person who has the sense to ask for help deserves to be helped. Study more effectively. There are plenty of online guides for improving your study methods so that you understand the subject matter better and know how to improve your scores. If you feel that the work level is beneath your capability, ask if you can be moved to a more challenging class, or even to change your year level. This will require your parent's involvement and there will need to be proof that you can work at a higher level. Begin by talking to your parents, then have them arrange meetings with the school. For example, if all you get is worksheets all the time, ask your teacher if it is possible to learn in other ways, such as through reading as a class, watching videos, doing experiments or visiting places, etc. It might be that your teacher hasn't realized that there is an overload of one style of presenting the material to you as a class, and simply drawing attention to how it's not working might result in a change for the better.

with hard liquor. Flasks are intended for use with straight, undiluted spirits. In general, it is best to fill a stainless steel flask with hard liquors, such as scotch, whiskey, rum, or vodka. Avoid adding mixers to your alcohol, since many of these contain corrosive or perishable ingredients that can damage your flask. Don’t fill your flask with anything carbonated, acidic, or citrus-flavored. These types of beverages tend to pick up metallic flavors quickly, and can damage the metal of the flask. Do not store cream-based liquors in your flask, as these will spoil quickly if not kept chilled. Beverages to avoid include:  Beer, cider, wine coolers, and other carbonated beverages Wine and champagne Cream liqueurs, such as Baileys or Dooley’s Citrus liqueurs and other citrus-flavored beverages, such as hard lemonade Since alcohol flasks tend to have very narrow openings, they can be difficult to fill without spilling. Place the narrow part of the funnel in the opening of your flask. Use one hand to hold the funnel and the flask steady while you slowly pour liquor into the wide opening of the funnel.  Many stainless steel flasks come with their own funnels for easier filling. Flask funnels can also be purchased at most liquor stores or department stores. If you don’t have a flask funnel, any kitchen funnel should do the trick. The main advantage of flask funnels is their small size, which makes them more portable. To avoid spills and leaks, leave a little space at the top of your flask when you fill it. Fill to just below the neck of the flask. The opening of your flask funnel should allow you to look into the flask and see when it is mostly full. The liquor in your flask is more likely to pick up a metallic taste if it gets too warm. Keep your flask cool by storing it in a jacket pocket or a bag rather than directly against your hip. Avoid leaving your flask any place too warm, such as inside a hot car or in direct sunlight, when there is liquor in it. When your flask is not with you, keep it in a cool area...

with her. Make sure that she knows that she can trust you with her secrets, because you can keep them. Tell her some of your secrets too, so she knows that you trust her. If she confides in you, keep whatever is shared between the two of you, so that she can feel safe telling you her feelings and thoughts in the future. Allow yourself to be truthful about your feelings and needs. If you do this, your girlfriend will feel more comfortable coming forward with her expectations in the relationship, and this can strengthen the trust between you both. with her. Just like getting to know her, the more time you spend with her, the more comfortable she'll be around you. This doesn't mean spending every second of the day with her, but could mean simply going on a date once a week, hanging out at school, eating lunch together, and engaging in other fun activities. If you want to slowly and carefully build a healthy relationship, you can start with a low-key date, such as at a coffee shop. If you want something a bit more engaging, try a round of bowling or mini golf. Avoid the movies for a first date, since this typically leaves little time for conversation before or after the movie. If something is bothering your girlfriend, it is likely that you will pick up on a change in her tone or behavior. Ask her what is wrong, and try to address the matter right away. Feel free to ask her specifically what you can do to make her feel better. She will likely have a simple request or resolution. If you show that you can not only solve the issue but also avoid making the same mistake in the future, she will greatly appreciate your presence in her life. Your goal is to become a calming and reliable person for her, so go out of your way to ease any of her pain.

with him in person. You and your boyfriend have been through a lot together! The best way to respect your relationship and him is to break up face-to-face. If distance is an issue, plan a video call with him instead. If that's not possible, a phone call is the next best option.  Avoid breaking up through text or instant messenger, which is hurtful and impersonal. Only resort to a letter or email if you have tried to break up before and he changed your mind. If you are in an abusive relationship, breaking up over the phone, through email, or with a letter is okay. Your safety is most important. Ask him to go for a walk with you, or meet up with him at a park or somewhere similar. That way, once it's done, you can go your separate ways. If you invite him over to your house, it may get awkward or he may be reluctant to leave.  If you are unsure of how he’ll react, schedule the meeting in a more public place, like a coffee shop. If you're afraid he might have a bad reaction, have a friend come along with you. They can be out of sight, but somewhere in the nearby vicinity, just in case you need them. Choose a time when both of you can talk in private without distractions. Wait until the end of the day rather than doing it first thing in the morning before he has to face a full day of school or work. If possible, do it on a Friday so that both of you can have the weekend to deal with your feelings privately. In the heat of an argument, it's easy to say things that you don't mean. Give yourself time to think things over before losing your boyfriend. You may realize you want to resolve things with him, or your perspective on the situation may change. Give yourself a couple days to think things over to be sure breaking up is what you want. While it's important to give yourself time to think things over, don't put off the conversation once you're sure it's what you want. Dragging it out will be harder on him in the long-run, or the information may leak out and he ends up hearing the news from someone else.

with him. Flirting is a good way to get a man's attention and to let him know that you are interested. Making eye contact for several seconds, smiling, giving compliments, leaning forward when talking, and mimicking his body language are all ways.  People flirt in different ways. Whatever method you use, be the most fun version of yourself and project confidence.  Always face him when you talk to him and avoid crossing your arms or legs. If he says something funny, lightly touch his arm or his knee when you laugh. You may be nervous when you meet a new man or come across someone that you are really attracted to. Think of some questions you can ask to start the conversation. If you have some questions ready, you will appear more confident. Try to ask open-ended questions that get the conversation going. Try asking him:  What is your favorite book? What do you like to do in your free time? What is the best vacation you have ever been on? If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money? If you had a dinner party, what three guests (dead or alive) would you invite? You do not have to wait for a man to ask you out. There is nothing wrong with being proactive and going after a man you are interested in. Avoid saying, "Do you want to hang out?" It is better to be clear that you are interested and suggest a specific activity instead.  You can keep the date light and casual and ask him, "Hey do you want to grab coffee one day?" or "Do you want to check out this new exhibit on Saturday?" Ask him what he did this past weekend and suggest you do some activity that is similar. This way your date is based on something that the both of you are interested in. If you chicken out, you can drop a really strong hint. Try saying, "Have you heard about this new restaurant? I can't wait to check it out. I heard the ___ is amazing."  If you do not feel comfortable asking him out on a solo date, invite him out with you and your friends. If you go this route, make sure you flirt and give him extra attention. . Do not...

with other writers and editors. Other editors can tell you the process they took to get where they're at and refer work to you when they have too much work or are given a project they can't handle. Since the work of editors is often overlooked and underutilized, networking is also a great way to stay connected to top jobs and openings.  One way to network is by joining a professional editors' organization. Many have directories of editors already established in the field you may wish to become an editor in. Another way to network is to attend writers' conferences and conventions associated with the areas you wish to find work in. You can also network through professional social networking Web sites, such as LinkedIn, where you can join groups devoted to writing and editing. Keep in touch with other writers and editors. Send them sincere congratulations when you see something they've written or edited that you like. Never burn bridges if you happen to leave a job. This advice is applicable to a broad range of jobs, but it especially applies here. If you gain the reputation of being someone who's willing to tackle tough, unpleasant, or otherwise undesirable assignments, you'll begin to make yourself indispensable. You'll probably have no shortage of assignments if you're in the right kind of job, and you'll be viewed with the same adoration that a woodworker reserves for his favorite chisel. Unlike sales positions, where the white lie is actually encouraged, or some managerial roles, where the big picture is more important than the details, editors have to get the small things right. Whether it's being consistent with punctuation in your copy, making sure typos don't go unnoticed, or simply getting the facts straight, the small things matter more to editors than they do to other professionals, arguably. Editors stake their reputation on the small stuff. They're definitely worth sweating. After all the generalization and odd jobs that will probably define your early going as an editor, you'll begin to learn...

with warm water before plucking. Wash your face with your cleanser of choice and warm water beforehand so that your skin is clean. This will also relax your hair follicles, which will allow the hairs to come out easier. Pat your face dry with a clean towel to remove moisture. Outline the shape you want with dots before connecting them with a line. Any hairs outside of the outline should be tweezed. Avoid tweezing hairs inside of the outline. You can use a comb to help you find where to start and end your brows.  Hold one end of your comb vertically over the center of your nose. To find your arch, move the other end to the side until the comb barely overlaps the outside edge of your iris. Mark these points with your pencil. Hold a comb vertically against the side of your nose. You may want your eyebrow to start where the top of your comb meets your brow bone.  Place one end of your comb on the center of your nose and move the other end to the side until the comb barely overlaps the outside corner of your eye. This is where you may want your eyebrow to end. Hold the skin just underneath your arch taut with your fingers to make plucking less painful and difficult. To create a thinner, more manicured look, use your tweezers to pull out stray hairs in the direction of growth. Remove the hair between your eyebrows with your tweezers in order to make your eyebrows look less big and bushy. If any hairs are outside of your outline above your brow, remove them. Avoid plucking too much from the top of your brows, however. Only remove stray hairs beyond your marked outline. Plucking can cause your skin to become red and/or irritated. Dab a bit of over-the-counter cortizone cream onto the  affected area in order to reduce inflammation.

with your child. Pick a cause or local organization and sign you and your child up to volunteer together. Volunteering can introduce your child to diverse people and perspectives, and help them exercise empathy, responsibility, and moral reasoning.  Look to organizations like local food pantries, soup kitchens, homes for the elderly, and animal shelters. These are groups that often take volunteers of many ages. Follow up your volunteer work with open conversations. Ask them, “What did feel while you were helping those people today?” Let them ask questions in return, and try to provide honest answers, even if they seem hard. Chores help teach children responsibility and accountability. Pick 2-3 household activities for which your child will be responsible. Outline your expectations clearly so that they know what they should be doing from the start. Try to include your child as you assign chores so that they know their opinions are valued.  For example, if you want your child to clean their room, don't just tell them to clean their room. Let them know, “I want all of your toys put away, I want you to make your bed, and I want all your clothes in the hamper.” Connect the chores back to your family's values. Let your child know, “We all help clean the house because we all helped make it dirty. When we all pitch in, it lets our whole family know that we care about each other and that we will help one another.” Reinforce the value of chores by assigning consequences if the tasks are not completed. If, for example, your child is supposed to make their bed but refuses to do so, you may decide that they do not get to watch TV until their bed is made. Many children's books are written specifically to encourage certain values such as kindness, compassion, fairness, and honesty. Look for children's books that demonstrate the values that you want to teach your children. Try to set aside some time every night to read these stories to them.  Don't just read the books to your children, have conversations about them. Ask your...

This is also a really good idea if not doing your chores is what got you grounded in the first place. for your actions. Apologize to your parents and admit what you've done wrong. Try to solve the problem or counteract whatever you did (ex. complete a task you didn't complete). Don't put the blame on someone else. This shows your parents that you are responsible for your actions. It is usually better to accept the punishment than to throw a fit or try to talk your way out of it. Try beginning the conversation with something like, I know I made a mistake and I'm very sorry. I see now that what I did was wrong and I will work hard not to repeat this action in the future. Making good grades, or at least showing your parents that you are trying to improve your grades, will also show your parents that you are acting responsibly. Working on your schoolwork will also show your parents that you are thinking about the future, which is a sign of responsibility. Go above and beyond doing your chores and ask your parents if you can help them with anything else. Give your mom a hand with dinner or help your dad in the garage. Take your family dog for a walk. Do anything that will show your parents you are trying to be helpful and responsible.

y - y1 = m(x - x1) . This is another way of working with one form of the equation of the line to get another form. point (4, -3) and slope m = -2 .  You are working where m = -2 as the slope of a line and the coordinates of a point are (4, -3), and these are our (x1,y1) like any defined point on the line. So, using those given values we have:   y - y1 = m(x - x1),  y - (-3) = -2(x - 4), by substitution using the point and slope y + 3 = -2(x - 4), by simplifying -(-3) to + 3 y + 3 = -2x + -2(-4), by distribution y + 3 = -2x + 8, by multiplying  y + 3 - 3 = -2x + 8 - 3, by subtraction (of equals from both sides of the equation)y = -2x + 5, by simplifying/rewriting it (That fits the y = mx + b called the Slope Intercept Form).  What is Point–-slope form based on? The point-slope form expresses the fact that the difference of y values for two points on one line (that is, y − y1) can be stated as directly proportional to the difference of x values (that is, x − x1). There is a  proportionality constant called m (the slope of the line).  We find that Direct Proportion is a comparison that can be stated in a form similar to y = kx. Here we notice that  y - y1 = m(x - x1)  fits the form y = kx . Direct proportion means that given two variables such as x and y, then y is called directly proportional to x, if there is a constant k such that y = kx, if and only if x is not zero. "k" is the proportionality constant which is just the slope as we are using it. (You can also express direct proportion by saying "x and y vary directly", or express that "x and y are in direct variation").

your Golden Retriever. Golden Retrievers are large dogs, so you don’t want it running around wherever it wants. Work on leash training your dog. Start by taking it for short walks. If it starts to pull on the leash, stop walking and stand there. Don’t move or let the dog go the way it wants. Start walking again when it comes back to you, sit, or let some of the tension from the leash.  Reinforce the positive behavior of not pulling on the leash with praise or treats. If your Golden Retriever gets too excited and starts jumping around before you place the leash on it, wait until it calms down to put the leash on it. Teaching your Golden Retriever to sit is important. The sit command is the basis of almost every other command that you teach it. You can use the sit command to enforce basic obedience.  Tell your dog to “sit” as you hold a treat over its head. Move the treat back and forth until it sits. You can also push its hind section down to achieve the desired action. As soon as it sits, give it verbal praise and let it eat the treat. Eventually, stop moving your dog and instead use a hand signal or verbal cue. The dog should respond and sit, or learn it with repeated practice. Teaching a Golden Retriever to come when you call it is important to your dog’s overall behavior. It can help keep it out of trouble and improve its life since you can take it more places.  Use positive reinforcement to get your dog to come. It should associate coming to you with praise, treats, or toys. Say the word “come” as you walk backwards. The dog should want to follow you. Say the word once before you move backwards. This helps your dog associate the verbal command with the desired behavior. Keep moving backwards until your dog gets to you. You want the dog to understand that it has to come all the way to you. As soon as your dog makes it to you, give them a treat and lots of praise Add additional distractions, like toys or food, as your Golden Retriever gets better at the command.

your bass boat carefully. If you’re launching your boat from a vehicle trailer, make a plan beforehand and bring a friend or two to help. Slowly back the trailer into the water, then put your vehicle in park and apply the parking brake. Start the boat’s motor once it’s in the water, undo the winch hook on the trailer, and slowly back off and away from the trailer. Keep an eye on your surroundings at all times. When you’re docked on the water, push away several feet (meters) from the dock before applying the throttle, and watch out for other boats or obstacles in all directions. Everyone on the boat needs to wear an approved life jacket that fits properly at all times. It doesn’t matter if you’re a good swimmer — falling off of a fast-moving bass boat can knock you into the water unconscious. The kill switch clips onto the driver and attaches to the boat with a cord. If the cord detaches from the boat (if the pilot falls into the water, for instance), the engine will immediately cut off. Like all boats, bass boats have a maximum passenger limit. This should be clearly marked on your boat. However, you can also use this old trick if you can’t find the posted limit:  Multiply the length and width of the boat in feet (1 ft. = 0.3 m); divide this number by 15 and round down to get your maximum passenger number. So, the maximum passenger limit for an 18 feet (5.5 m). by 4.5 feet (1.4 m). boat would be 5 people. (18 x 4.5 = 81; 81 / 15 = 5.4; round down to 5) If the boat is new to you, take the necessary time learning to operate it in calm, safe conditions. If you’re new to boating, take a boating class whether it’s required by law or not, and spend time on the water with experienced boaters so you can learn from them.  If you have a smaller bass boat with a motor of under 20 horsepower, you’ll probably utilize the motor itself for steering (via the tiller handle), shifting (pulling the lever toward you to go forward, pushing it away for reverse, with neutral in the middle), and throttle control (sliding the lever...

your goldfish daily. Goldfish don’t need a lot of food but they do need some every day. If you just have 1 goldfish, a tiny pinch of fish food flakes 2-3 times a day will suffice. If you have more than once goldfish, you will need to add more flakes to the tank. In general, only feed your goldfish as much food as they can consume in 2-3 minutes. If food remains on the surface after that point, try to give them less next feeding time. No matter how much they beg, resist the urge to feed your fish more that 2-3 times a day. Goldfish will eat a lot more than they should, so it’s your job to keep them healthy and not overfed. Overfeeding a goldfish can make them unwell but it can also contaminate the tank with excess organic material. This will make your tank dirtier faster and will make the water less healthy for the fish. In order for a goldfish to remain happy and healthy, it needs to live in clean water. To do this, remove your fish and put them in a holding tank. Next take a quarter of the water out of the tank. Remove all items from the tank and rinse them in clean water. Scrub the sides of the tank and use a gravel vacuum to clean the gravel at the bottom. Finally, put everything back in the tank and add enough new water to fill up the rest of the tank.  Once the tank is full again, add chemicals to neutralize any chlorine that might be in the water you added. Never wash decorations or equipment with cleaner that isn’t marked as aquarium safe. Residue will likely remain on the surface, even after a thorough rinsing, which can potentially kill your fish. Use an aquarium test kit to check the pH, nitrate, and ammonia levels in your tank. These kits are available at all pet and aquarium stores. Follow the directions in the kit, which usually includes taking a small sample of the water from the tank, adding a specific amount of testing solution to it and then looking for a change in color. Most aquarium test kits test the pH, nitrate, and ammonia levels all in one test. The color of your results will tell you...

your guinea pig’s cage regularly. Once your guinea pig has been treated for a respiratory problem, you won’t want him to get another one. Keeping his cage clean is one of the best ways to prevent a future respiratory problem. Clean his cage twice a week.  To give your guinea pig’s cage a thorough cleaning, remove all cage accessories and discard the bedding. Wash the cage with hot, soapy water. Rinse the cage and let it dry completely. Each day, remove leftover food, feces, and dirty bedding. Proper bedding can also prevent respiratory infections in guinea pigs. Dust-free bedding will not irritate your guinea pig’s nose. Examples of dust-free beddings are CareFRESH® and fleece.   Do not use cedar or pine shavings. These shavings contain oils that can be very irritating to a guinea pig’s respiratory tract.  Replace the bedding whenever it becomes soiled or wet. Damp bedding can become moldy and increase your guinea pig's chances of getting sick. Adequate air circulation is important in preventing respiratory problems in guinea pigs. A wire cage would provide more ventilation than a solid glass cage. Make sure the cage is not in the direct path of a vent or draft — a constant draft of cool air could make your guinea pig sick. If you have multiple guinea pigs, they should be in a cage large enough to house all of them comfortably. If the cage is too small, your guinea pigs could develop respiratory infections from the stress of overcrowding. The stress would weaken their immune systems and make them susceptible to infection. If you have 2 guinea pigs, their cage should be at least 30 inches x 50 inches (76 cm x 127 cm). Rabbits can harbor Bordatella  in their bodies and pass it on to guinea pigs. In addition, a rabbit can bully a guinea pig, causing the guinea pig stress if it cannot find a safe place to get away. To prevent a respiratory infection, house your rabbits and guinea pigs in different cages. The stress from bullying could cause a respiratory problem by weakening your guinea pig’s immune system....

Clean Use proper bedding in your guinea pig’s cage. Keep your guinea pig’s cage well ventilated. Do not overcrowd your guinea pig’s cage. Do not house rabbits and guinea pigs together. Add vitamin C to your guinea pig’s diet.


your horse each day. Grooming is a component of ground training, a type of training where you are standing on the ground while taking your horse through various exercises. Ground training is an important of natural horsemanship, since it allows you to bond with your horse by establishing boundaries and communicating with him using his natural body language.  If you haven’t groomed him before, start by touching him all over with just your hands. Doing this everyday will get him used to your touch. Be mindful of the areas where he doesn’t feel comfortable being touched, such as his stomach and eyes.  When you start grooming him, focus on the areas where he likes to be touched. Many horses enjoy being touched around their withers and mane.  By grooming and touching your horse all over for just a few minutes each day, he will trust that you will touch him with gentleness and respect. When he trusts you in this way, you will know that you have established a strong bond with him. With the use of a lead rope attached to your horse’s halter, lead him from various positions, including in front of him, beside him, and behind him. Leading exercises will teach your horse to respect your personal space; earning this respect from your horse is another important aspect of bonding with him through natural horsemanship.  Lead your horse by walking in front of him. Determine how far in front of him you want to walk, and keep that distance for the duration of your walk. If your horse tries to close the distance that you established, gently push him back. He will learn to respect that distance.  Lead from the partner position (beside him). Stand next to his shoulder for this position. Just like when you walk in front of him, establish and maintain your area of personal space when walking beside him. Practice this position next to both shoulders.  Lead from the drive position. Stand behind your horse’s drive line (behind the withers) and walk diagonally behind him.  As an alternative, try leading your horse without the lead rope....

your mulberry tree. Your fertilizer should contain iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, molybdenum, copper and boron. An NPK value of 10-10-10 is good. When applying the fertilizer, spread evenly under the canopy of the tree by watering or raking into the soil. Avoid spreading fertilizer within the 5-inch area around the trunk of the tree.  The time and frequency of adding fertilizer depends on the tree’s age. Most mulberry trees thrive with little to no fertilization. Fertilizing once per year should be fine.  Avoid fertilizing more than twice a year and begin in March but no later than July. Fertilizing after August will result in freeze damage. Water your mulberry tree twice a week if it is surrounded by light soils, and water once a week if planted on clay soil. It should take you 40-50 minutes to ensure that the root system is completely soaked. Each week, your tree should receive at least 1 inch of water, especially during extremely dry periods.  You don’t need to manually water your tree if you receive at least 1 inch of rain in your area.  Fruit may fall from the tree prematurely if it doesn’t receive ample water. The best way to avoid dry spells is to let your garden hose slowly trickle to allow the water to penetrate the roots instead of running off. Pruning wil help keep your tree tidy and healthy and make for an easier harvest. Removal of dead, diseased or crossed branches should be done in winter when the tree is dormant. Avoid pruning in mid-summer to allow the tree to set for the upcoming year’s fruit buds. Cuts should follow the shape of the tree and should never be more than 2 inches in diameter.  You should need no more than 5 cuts to prune a healthy mulberry tree. Cuts over 2 inches in diameter can lead to bleeding, from which your tree is not likely to heal. They also leave your tree vulnerable to certain diseases and fungi. You can harvest the fruit by handpicking them, or laying a sheet or tarp under the tree and gently shaking the branches. Do not harvest before May or your fruit may not...

your muscles before you jump to prevent injuries. After a quick 2-5 minute cardio warmup, stretch your arms, legs, chest, and back. You can do any stretches, as long as they target the right muscle groups. Here are some stretches for you try:  Do a forward bend to stretch all of your muscles. Stand up straight with your feet together, then bend slowly down toward the floor. Reach out to touch the floor with your fingers. To stretch your arms, bring one arm up over your head, reaching toward the sky. Bend your arm at your elbow so it’s parallel to the back of you head. Then, use your other hand to pull your elbow gently toward your head. Repeat on the other side. A backflip is an advanced move, so it usually takes time to master it. You need to be on a soft surface to minimize your risk of injury. A gymnastics mat or foam pit is the best surface, but sand or grass may also work.  As another option, you may prefer starting on a trampoline, which provides some give and helps you build momentum. However, don’t try your flip on a trampoline if you have trouble controlling the height of your jumps. If you’re new to backflips, don’t attempt to do one on a hard surface, especially concrete. Since a backflip is an advanced move, it can be dangerous to complete, especially at first. It’s important that you have someone there who can watch your jump and potentially help you. At the very least, make sure someone is with you to call for help if you get hurt. If you lose your balance and fall, it’s possible that you will not be able to get yourself help.

your video to around 2-3 minutes long. The most successful funny videos are usually 3 minutes or less. If your video is longer than this, try to cut or edit as many unnecessary scenes as possible to make sure you're entertaining your audience.  To decide whether a scene is worth keeping, ask yourself, "Is this necessary for the overall plot?" and cut out scenes that are not. If you are making a funny movie, however, you have more flexibility with your video's length. Keeping the video moving is important for all videos, but especially funny ones. When editing between shorts or scenes, try to end on an action or gesture. You could, for example, cut a scene on two characters high-fiving. Keep an eye out for any lines your actors messed up or scenes that you didn't want to include in the final cut. Make sure you cut these parts out for a smoother, funnier final product. If you want, you could always put all the mistakes and accidents together in a separate video as a blooper reel. Once you've edited your video, show a copy to your friends or family. They may suggest ways to edit or re-film the video in ways that enhance its comedic value. If you have any friends who enjoy watching or making videos, send them a copy of your film to get more authoritative feedback. The best part about making a funny video is sharing the gift of laughter with others. If you want others to see your video, you can share it privately with your friends or post it online for anyone to see. YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, and Dailymotion are all great places to post videos online.

z = X - μ / σ. This formula allows you to calculate a z-score for any data point in your sample.   Remember, a z-score is a measure of how many standard deviations a data point is away from the mean. In the formula X represents the figure you want to examine. For example, if you wanted to find out how many standard deviations 7.5 was from the mean in our example of tree heights, you would plug in 7.5 for X in the equation. In the formula, μ stands for the mean. In our sample of tree heights the mean was 7.9. In the formula, σ stands for the standard deviation. In our sample of tree heights the standard deviation was 0.74. This will start out the calculations for a z-score.   For example, in our sample of tree heights we want to find out how many standard deviations 7.5 is from the mean of 7.9. Therefore, you would perform the following: 7.5 - 7.9. 7.5 - 7.9 = -0.4. Double check that you have the correct mean and subtraction figure before you proceed. This calculation will provide you with your z-score.   In our sample of tree heights, we want the z-score for the data point 7.5. We already subtracted the mean from 7.5, and came up with a figure of -0.4. Remember, the standard deviation from our sample of tree heights was 0.74. - 0.4 / 0.74 = - 0.54 Therefore the z-score in this case is -0.54. This z-score means that 7.5 is -0.54 standard deviations away from the mean in our sample of tree heights. Z-scores can be both positive and negative numbers. A negative z-score indicates that the data point is less than the mean, and a positive z-score indicates the data point in question is larger than the mean.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Use the following format to find a z-score: Start the formula by subtracting the mean from the data point you want to examine. Divide the subtraction figure you just completed by the standard deviation.

‘Planting out’ means moving your indoor potted plants to outdoor vegetable beds. The process involves transferring pot grown seedlings, or ones grown indoors or under glass, to the outside garden or vegetable plot. You can start planting out vegetables in early spring but it’s usually better to wait until later springtime when the frosts have passed. Your plants will be slower to grow in the cooler temperatures so there’s little benefit in putting them out earlier in the season. If you’ve sown vegetables indoors, give them some time to adjust to life outdoors by ‘hardening off’. This process lets your plants acclimatize to the moving air, different humidity, and temperatures of the outside world. When you simply place these types of plants outdoors without going through the hardening off process, their development can be detrimentally affected. To harden plants off: Move plants sown inside your home to a cooler space such as an unheated greenhouse. You can leave your plants outside during the day but bring them in at night. You can make your life much easier—and your plant’s life more pleasant—when you plant your vegetables when the soil is easy to work with. Avoid gardening if the ground is still cold and hard.

Understand what ‘planting out’ refers to. Help your plants to “harden off”. Plant your indoor plants in your outdoor vegetable garden when the soil has gotten soft.


“Adult” milkshakes, containing alcohol or caffeine, make delicious treats. These quick and easy recipes feature a blended shake of Vietnamese iced coffee and coconut ice cream, along with the more “adult” salted caramel, vanilla and rum concoction. If you’re looking for a sweeter way to get your daily dose of caffeine, or if you want a dessert alcoholic beverage, give these a try. Put the espresso powder and the hot water in a small bowl and stir them together until the powder has fully dissolved. Allow it to cool completely. Freeze the coffee into cubes by pouring it into a clean ice cube tray and placing in the freezer. It will take about two hours to fully set. Put about five scoops of coconut ice cream into the blender. Add the sweetened condensed milk, followed by the frozen espresso cubes. Blend for approximately two minutes until the ingredients are fully blended.  Serve immediately in a frosted glass. Top the shake off with whipped cream and shredded coconut (optional). Put the glasses into the freezer until they are nice and cold. Remove and pour the caramel into the glasses. Put the ice cream, caramel sauce and milk into the blender. Lastly, add the salt and rum. Pulse the blender on low until the ingredients have fully mixed.  Transfer into the cold glasses and serve immediately. Top it off with whipped cream and a drizzle of the caramel sauce (optional).

“Dear Mr./Ms. (Name)” is a standard way to open any letter, but if your teacher has taught you something different, then use that.  Choose the right salutation. When you open your letter, make sure that you address it to your teacher with the correct form of Mr./Mrs./Ms./Miss. Avoid being too informal, such as writing, “Hey Miss Smith!” Begin your letter by showing your teacher that you value them. This will set a friendly tone for your letter and will show the teacher that you care.  Write something like, “Thank you so much for always being there to help me with my work. I’m glad to have you as my teacher.” You could also say, “Thank you for planning such fun lessons for us. I know that you put a lot of time into helping us learn, and I’m glad I get to be in your class.” Describe what you did or didn't do so that your teacher knows what you're apologizing for.  Be specific. For example, say “I’m sorry that I used an inappropriate word during class yesterday” instead of “I’m sorry about what I did in class.”  Be concise in your explanation. Keep your summary of the events to no more than four sentences. Your teacher should be familiar with what happened. You should explicitly use the words "I am sorry for..." or "I deeply apologize for..." to make it clear that you are admitting your errors and seeking their forgiveness. Tell your teacher that that you know that what you did was wrong, and that you will take steps to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future. Write “Sincerely” or “Thank you,” and then sign your name.

Write your opening. Thank your teacher. Summarize what happened. Apologize. Close your letter.


“Effect” means a change that has been brought about by something else. It comes from a Latin word meaning “to bring about.” Usually, “effect” is used as a noun. Therefore, it will often be paired with an article, such as “an” or “the.” Consider something that would cause something else to happen. Maybe the cat changed something on the table or the rain changed the water levels, like in the previous example. Sentences that use “effect” properly include:  “The cat’s leaping had a noticeable effect on the glassware on the table.” “The rain’s effect was noticeable, as the lake’s water levels had risen.” Though “effect” can be used as a verb, it has a direct object in the sentence. A direct object is something that follows the verb that answers the question “how” or “what,” such as “I paint houses.” “Houses” is the direct object. When “effect” is used as a verb, it always takes a direct object. In this case, “effect” means “to cause something to happen.” A sentence would be, “Our new boss has effected some positive changes”

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Learn the meaning of the word “effect”. Understand what part of speech the word “effect” is. Try using “effect” in a sentence. Keep in mind that effect can sometimes be used as a verb.


“Fulltime” betting is the most basic form of betting, and only concerns itself with three possible outcomes: win, lose, or draw. With fulltime betting, all you have to do is decide which team you think has the best chance of coming out on top. Simplifying the betting structure in this way allows you to focus on making safe selections.  A common variation of fulltime betting is known as the “Asian handicap,” where a certain number of goals is either added to or deducted from the chosen club’s final score to prevent a draw. Asian handicaps make it possible to actually win money by betting on a losing team.  Fulltime betting doesn’t always promise as large a payout as other schemes, but it gives you a better shot at winning smaller sums consistently. To calculate a rough probability from a given set of odds, take the second number of the set and divide it by the sum of both numbers. Then, multiply the resulting decimal by 100 to get the probability as a percentage.  If a bookmaker is offering 4/6 odds on Liverpool, for example, it means their chances of winning are 0.6, or approximately 60%, which is reasonably strong. When the odds are presented in decimal form, simply divide 1 by the entire number, then multiply the answer by 100. For 2.26 odds, the process of conversion would look like this: 1/2.26 = 0.44247 x 100 = 44.25%. Whenever possible, play it safe and restrict your selection to a single club, player, or result. Doing so makes it much easier to calculate probabilities without encountering an unexpected monkey wrench. The more variables you introduce, the slimmer your chances of making a profit.  You’re far more likely to correctly predict that Newcastle United will win the match than that Ciaran Clark will make the game-winning goal for a final score of 3-1. It’s not uncommon for bookmakers to offer attractive prices and payouts for multiples. This is their way of enticing gamblers into a making bets that don’t favor them statistically. As a general rule, you want to hold off until you have as much...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Stick to fulltime betting to avoid complex odds-making schemes. Convert the odds to pure probability before making your selection. Limit your number of bets on a single slip to keep the odds in your favor. Wait for the ideal time to lock in your bet.


“Hardening off” is a process where you slowly adjust your plants to life outdoors. This typically spans about a week. On day 1, set your seedlings in a shady, wind-free area outdoors for about 2-3 hours. Over the next few days, gradually increase the time outdoors by a 1-2 hours. You can also gradually decrease the amount of water you provide, so that way they easily adapt outdoors. Your seeds are still rather sensitive, and it is best to transplant them when the temperature will be consistent. You also want to avoid harsh sunlight. Check specific transplant instructions for your type of plant to make sure you are transplanting them correctly. You can transplant your seedlings to your garden bed or an outdoor pot. Make a small hole, place the seedling inside the hole, spread out the seedlings’ roots, and add soil on top. Water your seedlings immediately after you replant them so their roots will take to the new soil. Check your seedlings' moisture level daily and water as needed. Feed your seedlings with fertilizer every 7-14 days for best results. You can also spread mulch over top your soil to help retain moisture.

”Harden off” your seeds before you transplant them outside. Move your seeds outdoors on a cool, overcast day. Replant your seedlings outside in fresh soil. Water and feed your seedlings routinely to keep them healthy!
