You can also use any thin elastic string and make it into a loop yourself. You can purchase pre-made loops or create your own. It's essentially an elastic band.   If you make your own, simply tie two ends together into a small knot to form a loop. Start with your loop around your wrist like a bracelet. Or, if it feels more comfortable to you, position your loop around your index finger and the outside of your thumb. This is a great method for doing up-close street magic on the spot. You can ask a spectator for a dollar and levitate it without much prep. Because your loop is so thin and light, you will need a light object that won't break the thread. This will allow you to hook the loop with your other hand while you wave it over the object, preparing it to levitate.  Begin explaining that you're going to levitate the object using the energy created from your hands. You can begin to rub your hands together around the object, and while you do so, get your finger under your loop.  You want to grab the loop with your other hand and begin to stretch it. With the loop going around both hands you now have a small platform to balance the object on. As you hook your loop around your other finger, slide it forward so it's stretching across your palm. Use your fingers from both hands to get the object on top of the string. This will allow you to quickly balance the object on top of your loop, making it look like it's levitating. Begin to slowly move your hands apart. You can show the object levitating in the space between your hands. Be careful to move your hands slowly so as not to break the loop or cause your object to fall. You don't want to levitate the object for too long and give the audience a chance to see the loop. So as you grab the object, release the loop from your hand. It will snap back to the hand you had it wrapped it around.  You can now let your audience inspect the object to see that it is ordinary.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Get an elastic string known as a loop. Grab a dollar or other small light object. Place the object in the same hand as your loop. Bring your free hand over and on top of the object. Position the object on top of your loop. Slowly separate your hands. Grab the object and release your loop.


You can also use minutes followed by decimal points to identify latitude and longitude. However, you must again start by identifying the broad lines of latitude and longitude. Figure out where the lines of latitude and longitude meet to pinpoint your location. For example, say your location falls at 15°N, 30°W. Some maps identify minutes followed by decimal points rather than minutes followed by seconds. An online map should be able to provide you with the minutes broken down into decimals for each line of latitude and longitude. For example, a line of latitude may be found at 23.0256 minutes. When using the degrees and decimal minutes system, you do not use directions like north, south, east, and west. Instead, you use positive and negative numbers to determine where locations fall on a map.  Remember, lines of latitude fall north or south of the equator. When using decimals to indicate latitude and longitude, positive numbers fall north of the equator and negative numbers fall south of the equator. The number 23.456 falls north of the equator, while the number -23.456 falls south. Lines of longitude fall east or west of the Prime Meridian. Positive numbers fall east of the Prime Meridian, while negative numbers fall west. For example, the number 10.234 falls east of the Prime Meridian while the number -10.234 falls west of the Prime Meridian. To write out the full location, start with the line of latitude. Follow this with the coordinates using minutes and decimals. Add a comma and then the line of longitude followed by its minutes and decimals. Remember to use positive and negative numbers to indicate the direction of coordinates. You do not use the degree symbol with this format.  For example, a line falls 15°N, 30°W. Identify the number of minutes and decimals and then write out the coordinates. The above example could be written as, "15 10.234, 30 -23.456."

Identify the point of latitude and longitude. Figure out the minutes, including decimal points. Determine whether numbers are negative or positive. Write out latitude and longitude.

You can also use other types of cotton fabric, such as flannel, old T-shirts, or quilter's cotton. You can cut however many fabric squares you want, but 12 or so will do. This container can be anything you want it to be: a plastic box, an old baby wipes container, or even a glass jar. You can crumple the sheets up and stuff them in, roll them into tight bundles, or fold them up into neat squares. The next time you do laundry, take a sheet and toss it into the dryer along with the rest of the laundry. Start a cycle like you normally would. When the cycle finishes, take the sheet out and put it back into the container with the other sheets. Each sheet will last about 3 loads. After that, you'll have to re-soak the sheets.

Cut old towels or washcloths into 6 in (15 cm) squares. Store the squares in an airtight container until you're ready to use them. Use 1 sheet per laundry load.


You can also use very strong fabric glue, as long as it is applied with a fine tip applicator.  Make sure you set the rough, inside edge against the glue, instead of your finished edge. Allow the glue to set for five minutes, so that it doesn’t come loose while you wrap the ribbon around the felt. As you wrap it, it will gather into a circular bloom shape. Wrap your lace ribbon around that edge in a circle. When you come to the starting edge, you will bring the lace inside to spiral it in a petal pattern. Hold the lace in place and allow the glue to set for five minutes, if the lace is slipping away from the felt circle. Wrap the lace in a spiral and press the edge onto the glue. Repeat the spiral of glue and lace until you come to the center of the circle. Press the lace down with a toothpick or pencil to avoid burning yourself with hot glue. Use a matching thread and a needle to secure the center of the lace on the felt circle as you would a button. It will look like a style, or center, of the flower. You may want to choose a contrasting color to improve your flower design.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Heat up your hot glue gun. Squeeze a line of glue one-fourth the way around the outside of your felt circle. Lay one end of the lace ribbon across this glue line. As you wrap the lace, you will need to turn it in a circular pattern. Squeeze a glue line along the remaining edge of the circle. Apply another line of glue in a circle on the felt, just inside the outer layer of lace. Cut the lace if you have excess in the center of your circle. Glue a pearl or sew a button on to the center of the lace flower. Attach a clip or pin to the back of the flower for use as an accessory.


You can also use your knuckles to remember the number of days in each month. To start, ball both your hands into fists. Then, hold both your fists in front of your face. Push your two balled fists together, so your two thumbs and two index fingers touch. You should start with January at the leftmost knuckle. You will count the months by moving across your fists, counting each knuckle and groove as a month.  Start with the outermost knuckle on your left hand. This is the knuckle made by your left pinky. This is January. Move to the groove just to the right of your leftmost knuckle. This is the groove between the knuckles made by your left pinky and ring finger. This is February. Keep moving across your two hands, naming each knuckle and groove the name of a different month. When you reach the knuckle made by your left index finger, move immediately to the knuckle made by your right index finger. Do not count your thumb knuckles, or the gap between your hands. The knuckle made by your left index finger should be July. The knuckle made by your right index finger should be August. The months that land on your knuckles are January, March, May, July, August, October, and December. All these months have 31 days. The months that land on the grooves of your knuckles should be February, April, June, September, and November. These months all have 30 days. If you don't end up with these months landing on your grooves, you might have skipped a knuckle or groove, or counted the gap between your hands. Start over and go slower.

Ball your hands into fists and place them together. Count the months working with your knuckles and grooves. Do not count the knuckles on your thumbs. Remember that months that land on a knuckle have 31 days. Understand months that land on a groove have 30 days, excluding February.

You can always buy some plant/vase preservative at your local florist or the home and gardening section of some hardware stores, but making your own is relatively simple. You only need:  Lemon juice Sugar Household bleach There are many varieties of vases to choose from depending on how many and what kind of cut-flowers you have. If you have a single flower you want to display, a bud vase will work perfectly. Bouquets can be accommodated by larger, cylindrical shaped containers.  For glass containers, think about using marbles, cranberries, or some other object inside it. Some experts believe that by hiding the stems in your vase, you restore the focus of attention to your beautiful blooms.  If you lack a vase, you might re-purpose a decanter, ornamental glass, or pitcher. A dirty vase can severely shorten the lifespan of your cut flowers. Using a mild soap and hot water, be sure you rinse and scrub free any grime or dust from your flower container. Once you are satisfied, use a clean towel to wipe it dry. Put a quart of warm water into your flower container, or in a separate container if yours does not have enough space for a full quart of liquid. In the warm water, add two tablespoons of lemon juice, one tablespoon of sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of bleach to your water. Stir the solution until it appears the ingredients have blended together. If your container was too small for you to mix your vase preservative in, after it is blended, add it to your clean, empty container until it is ½ to ¾ full. If you were able to prepare your preservative in-vase, simply add your flowers. Plants are easily harmed by the bacteria that can build up in your vase. By adding a ¼ teaspoon of bleach to your solution every four days, you will help protect your flowers while keeping the water from becoming cloudy. You can also protect against bacteria buildup by changing the water in your container every three to four days. If you don't have lemon juice on hand, you may find it a little more convenient to create a vase preservative...

Gather your ingredients. Select your vase or container. Clean your flower container. Mix your flower food. Pour your solution into the container and insert your flowers. Keep your water clear and free of bacteria. Consider making plant food with soda pop.


You can always just ask for reasons of why they aren't letting you do the thing you desire. Sometimes they will give you a valid point and sometimes it won't make sense. As long as you do it in a mature fashion, most parents will be happy to give you reasons. Ask them their concerns and try to address them. This may change their minds if you have a convincing rebuttal. If you can find out why they said no, you can find a way to remove that factor or say it in a way that they will agree to. For example, if you cannot have a phone because they do not think you are old enough, then show them how mature you can be. Pinpointing the reason makes it a lot easier to get to the crux of the issue. Parents will inevitably take your history of behavior into consideration. Start getting good grades (if you aren't already), do chores around the house without them asking you, and stay out of trouble. Make sure they know that you're responsible enough to get or do that specific thing you're asking about. As mentioned previously, sometimes you may have to put in the time. A couple of days of being on good behavior might not be convincing, but a few weeks? That could do the trick. If you remain patient and diligent, they may see that you're ready for this new responsibility. Don't make it obvious that you're upset. Be kind to them and act as you normally would. They may act like they don't care, but they are smiling inside and it will help you in the long run. It can also start making them feel a little guilty, which may not be a bad thing in this situation. The kinder you are, the more they'll feel bad they said no, which could lead to a change of heart. Sometimes, parents respond better to having an argument written out. Write a convincing and persuading letter that explains to your parents why you deserve what you're trying to get. This looks professional and your parents will be impressed at the mature way you're handling the situation. Make sure it's handwritten and presented nicely. They'll see how much work you put into...

You can apply basal bark herbicides year-round, but the bark of the privet should be dry before treatment. Additionally, the ground should not be frozen. It might be best to apply the herbicide in the late winter or early spring, before foliage develops and hides the targeted stems. Summer and fall applications are more difficult to perform properly, but can still be effective when done right. Combine 26 fluid ounces (770 ml) of an oil-soluble triclopyr ester product with enough horticultural oil to create 1 gallon (4 L) of product.  Diesel, bark oil, and kerosene are all acceptable options. Note that ready-to-use triclopyr ester herbicides are usually effective against privet, so you can opt for one of these instead of using an herbicide you need to mix. Spray or paint the bottom 12 to 15 inches (30.5 to 38 cm) of each privet stem, thoroughly wetting all sides of the bark.  Note that this may only work on privet stems less than 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter. Application is easiest when you use a backpack sprayer with a low pressure spray. Attach an adjustable cone nozzle, flat-fan nozzle, or hollow-cone nozzle to the spray hose. Continue wetting the bark until it appears covered, but do not allow the herbicide to run off and puddle in the soil around the base of the stem. Basal bark treatments will kill the privet after a period of several months, so you need to give it adequate time to work. If some privet still remains after most has died off, however, you can try another application.  Ideally, any follow-up application should be made no sooner than the fall or winter if you applied the initial treatment during late winter or early spring. Before reapplying additional herbicide, evaluate your options. Small stems that may have been missed during the initial application can be successfully treated with the basal bark method. Medium stems and large stems may respond more effectively to other treatments, however.

Apply during dry weather. Mix triclopyr with oil. Spray the bottom of the stem. Follow up only as needed.

You can assign any Genes you'd like, as they don't affect the strategy too much. A few recommended Genes include:  DNA Gene - Metabolic Jump Travel Gene - Native Biome/Teracyte Evolution Gene - Sympto-Stasis Mutation Gene - Genetic Mimic Environment Gene - Extremophile (Or any unlocked) China is one of the most ideal starting locations when you need to spread quickly as it has one of the highest populations, and infects surrounding countries quickly. China's airport and harbor mean the virus spreads to other countries quicker and easier. The virus will mutate quickly, so you need to be ready to devolve any lethal symptoms if they appear too soon.

You can bake some simple fruity cake treats for your horse at home. Horses tend to love apples and carrots, so this recipe is normally a winner. Gather together one carrot, an apple, a cup of molasses, two and a half cups of oats, and some vegetable oil. Grate up the apple and the carrot, and then mix them in with all the other ingredients.  Place the mixture onto a shallow baking tray, and then place the tray in a pre-heated oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake it for around 40 minutes, or until they look golden brown. Remove the tray from the oven and allow the mixture to cool for four hours in the fridge before you cut out the cakes. For this recipe you will need a cup of dry oatmeal, a cup of flour, and a cup of chopped carrots. You will also need some sugar, salt, vegetable oil and molasses. Start by chopping up carrots into small pieces, and mix in the oatmeal and flour. Add a teaspoon of salt and one of sugar and mix it some more. Next, stir in two teaspoons of vegetable oil, before pouring in a quarter cup of molasses.  Stir the mixture thoroughly until everything is sticking together. Use your hands to form the mixture into small balls and place them on a greased baking tray. Put the balls into a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake for around 15 minutes, or until golden brown.  Ensure they have completed cooled before feeding them to your horse. Another variation on the baked oats recipe are oat bars. You will need a third of a cup of oats, a third of a cup of sweet feed, a third of cup of molasses, and a third of a cup of flour. Mix all of these ingredients in a large bowl, starting with the oats and adding them one at a time. When the mixture is thick and sticky, mould it into a series of bars. You can wrap each bar in tin foil, or use a cookie cutter or mould if you have one.  Put the bars onto a greased tray and place them in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the bars for around 22 minutes, before removing them and allowing them to cool in the fridge or freezer....

You can be cute and still be shy, but coming across as hot usually takes a big dose of confidence. Smile and look people in the eyes when you greet them, and try to strike up conversations with a lot of different people throughout the day. When others see you being outgoing, you'll instantly seem hotter, just because of how self-assured you look!  Try to talk to people from all different social groups—don't just limit yourself to people who are like you! If you really want to give off hot-girl vibes, imagine that you're flirting with the people you're talking to. For instance, you might lightly touch someone on the shoulder when they're talking. However, don't go too far with this, since you don't want anyone to get the idea that you like them if you really don't. You don't necessarily have to feel confident every second of the day to come across that way. Project confidence by sitting or standing with your back straight, shoulders back, and head up. When you're talking to someone, speak in a clear, steady voice, and take a few moments to think about what you're going to say first so you can deliver it with conviction. Not only can these simple tricks help you look more confident, but they can actually make you feel more self-assured, as well! Just like having confidence is a major key to seeming hot, being kind is essential to coming across as cute. Avoid gossiping or talking bad about other people. Instead, look for ways to speak well of others, be friendly toward people who might not have a lot of friends, and be helpful whenever you see someone in need. For instance, if someone drops their notebook and papers fly all over the hallway, don't laugh at them or step on their papers. Instead, take a moment to help them gather everything up. Cute, hot teenagers always seem to have somewhere to go, so don't just stay cooped up in your room after school. Try joining clubs, sports teams, or groups that match up with your interests. You'll get a chance to know people you might not have met otherwise, and pursuing...

You can be nice first and make a little bit of small talk, but there's no point in dragging it on. As soon as you're ready, take a deep breath, and tell him that it's just not working anymore. Say that you're sorry (if you are) and tell him that you want to break up. If he's been nice to you then you can say something about how he was an amazing boyfriend and that you had a great time with him, but there's no point in feeding him lies if you were miserable and just wanted to get out. Make eye contact and speak slowly. Let him see that this is hurting you too, even if you're the one doing the dumping. You don't have to give him a blow by blow of exactly why you're dumping him -- in fact, that will only cause him more pain and make him feel even worse about himself. If you've met or fallen for someone else, maybe you don't want to tell him that and hurt him any more (as long as you don't think he will find out anyway). If you just aren't into him anymore, you can find another way to get around that, like saying that you can't make time for him, or that you think you've become different people, but he may be able to see right through that. If he hurt you, then you won't need to give him an explanation of why you're ending it. He'll know what he did. If you still respect him, then you can give him the courtesy of letting him talk to you and ask you some questions. If he's just repeating the same thing over and over, then it won't get you anywhere, but if he genuinely wants to know more about why you've chosen to dump him, you can let him ask some questions as long as you don't think this will hurt him more.  He may ask if he could have done anything differently; even if he could have, there's no point in telling him so, because you've already made your decision. Answer any questions you feel comfortable answering, but if it's all starting to feel a bit repetitive, then you can wrap things up.

You can begin picking apart the crabs if they were bought steamed. The crabs do not need extra preparation in that case. Live crabs do need to be steamed, and they can last for six to eight hours out of water. If they are stored in a cool temperature, they can last for several days.  Live crabs that are chilled in the refrigerator are easier to steam because the cold temperature causes them to be inactive. Make sure the crabs are alive when you put them into the steamer. A dead crab can be dangerous to cook because they spoil quickly. An average size steamer holds three or four dozen crabs at a time. You can buy a steamer at most hardware stores. You can make your own crab steamer with a large pot and makeshift basket to keep the crabs out of the water. Add the crabs into the steamer. Cover the steamer and wait for steam to escape. This should take about ten minutes.  Make sure the lid to the steamer is closed tightly with no gaps. Add apple cider vinegar to the water for extra flavor. The exact cooking time depends on the amount of crabs and the heat source.  A dozen crabs takes fifteen minutes to cook. A half bushel takes twenty minutes to cook. A full bushel takes thirty-five minutes of cooking time. The crabs should be bright orange. Dark red, reddish-green, or blue patches means that the crabs are not finished. Place them on a platter. Sprinkle them with your favorite seasoning.  Old bay is a very popular seasoning for Maryland Blue Crabs. J.O. Spice is a common seasoning, and it is often used at restaurants.

You can begin your fall pruning in late summer when the days begin to cool. Remove any overgrowth, dying branches, or areas you intend to trim. Removing them now will prevent the leaves from blowing off and sticking to everything in your yard. Aggressive trimming in the late summer will also reduce the cutting back you need to do over the winter. Be careful not to trim certain plants like berries or fruiting trees until after the last harvest. If there is a hard to clean area of your landscape (think sculpture gardens, ponds, or rosebushes) place burlap or another material over the ground when the first leaves fall.  Weigh the area down with heavy rocks or ties to prevent the cloth from blowing away. Every few days fold the cloth in half and scoop the leaves out. Lay the cloth back down for as long as necessary. This trick works great for trees that bear fruit you don’t harvest. Lay the tarpaulin under the tree to stop the berries and fruit from creating a large, impossible to clean mess. To prune your trees and plants, you will need a sharp pair of shears, a loppers, and a hand shears. If you’re pruning a plant larger than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter you may need a hand or electric saw as well. While most plants are pruned in the dormant season (late winter) some plants like hydrangeas grow their buds in the fall and need to be pruned in late summer. Follow any instruction cards you received with your plant. Remove any dead stems or leaves from your plant at the base of the plant, as these will not grow again. Removing them allows the plant to focus on new growth. Also prune back any diseased or poor performing stems. When removing healthy stems to create shape, prune back as far as the branches or leaves to encourage healing. Don’t cut off the top.  New pruners often work from the top down to bring the plant to size before removing smaller growth. This will cause the plant to retain some of its unwanted growth and disfigure the plant over several years. Instead, prune from the bottom of the plant and after...

Smile at a cashier, for example, or help someone who's lost with directions. Try to be pleasant even if you're feeling down. For example, go into your job with the goal of being nice to everyone, even if you're having a bad day. Wake up every morning and remind yourself of everything you're thankful for. This will help you keep things in perspective and remind you that you're not solely defined by your circumstances. In the morning, try thinking of something you're grateful for right away. This can help you go into the day feeling positive. Remember, you can't always control your situation. However, you can learn to work with the tools you have at your disposal. Try to see opportunity for growth everywhere.  For example, maybe you just graduated college with a creative writing degree and are working in a coffee shop while searching for a better job. While you may not see opportunity here, there's something you may be missing. A low-key, part time job can provide you with the opportunity to work on your writing. You can also observe people at your work, providing inspiration for stories. Keep the big picture in mind if you want to bloom. If you begin feeling lost, frustrated, or unhappy, remind yourself of your larger goals. Try to see how your current situation relates. This will motivate you to get back on track and keep trying in the present. Once you have direction, you will begin to notice the resources at your current disposal to help you get to your destination. Your mind will naturally focus on opportunities that may...

You can break the front walkover down into other exercises that you can master before you try the full skill. Think of a front walkover as being similar to a cartwheel, but more advanced. It’s more difficult and requires more balance, though.  Practice bridges, front limbers, and handstands, handstands in split positions, and a standing backbend while holding one leg up.  To do a front limber, perform a handstand into a bridge. Let your legs fall over. Once your feet contact the floor, push off the floor with your hands to stand up, with your arms up. Push your shoulders back. The balls of your feet should touch the floor first. Then, put your heels down and keep in the bridge position for a few seconds. Then, stand up. The front limber is similar to a front walkover, but the difference is you keep your legs together. To do a bridge, lie on your back. Keep your hands by your ears, and your feet should remain flat on the floor. Push up into the bridge position. Try to keep the arch of your back high to help with the flexibility of the back. Push your legs until they are straight, and your shoulders are directly over your hands.  Handstands can be quite difficult. If you cannot stay up at all, start by putting your hands flat on the ground about six inches away from a wall, fingers pointing to the wall, and kicking up until you are standing on your hands with your feet resting against the wall. You can try giving a tiny kick so that you are away from the wall and can practice balancing on your own. You should eventually be able to stand upright, place your hands flat on the floor, and kick into a handstand position without using a wall to correct yourself.

You can buy a windshield repair kit at an auto parts store, department store, or online. Ideally, choose one with a "bridge" applicator that fastens to the glass using suction cups. These are more stable than a syringe applicator. The applicator should also include a vacuum system to remove the air from the crack as you go. Almost all repair kits have similar components and work the same way. However, it's a good idea to read the instructions that come with the kit, to check for special requirements. You'll be filling the crack with resin that needs to be cured with ultraviolet light. If you can't wait for a sunny day, you'll need a UV lamp to finish the repair. If you're parked in the sun, shade the windshield until you're ready to cure. This will let you proceed at a relaxed pace. Use a thin metal object to gently tap out small glass shards from impact points. Some kits come with a bullseye tapper than can be used for this purpose. Wear gloves while handling broken glass. The windshield must be completely dry before you begin. If there is any dust in the cracks — and there usually is — clean it with a dust blower, or a small amount of acetone or lighter fluid. If the glass is wet, dry it with a hairdryer.

You can buy an eyebrow tinting kit at a beauty store or drug store. Mix the powder and developer provided and stir until it is a creamy paste. Use a spoolie brush to come out your eyebrows before you dye them. This will allow you to see every hair and the entire shape of your eyebrow to make dyeing your eyebrows easier. Before you start, test the eyebrow color on a small, inconspicuous area to make sure you don’t have an allergic reaction to the dye. The back of your neck or behind your ear both work well. As you wait between steps, clean the skin around your eyebrows with a pointed Q-tip and color remover or warm water. If you see any staining, use facial tonic to help remove the spots. When your eyebrows are the color you want, use a dark towel and warm water to remove the excess color. If you see any stains on your skin that you did not notice before, remove the spots with a facial tonic.

You can buy and install Minecraft on both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. If you already have Minecraft installed, skip this step. Insert the Minecraft disc, or select Minecraft from the list of purchased games. It's at the top of the Minecraft main menu. You can usually do this by pressing the right shoulder button on your controller. It's at the top of the Create tab. Select the text box at the top of the screen, then enter a name for your world. The default name is "New World". Scroll down to the "Difficulty" slider, then move the slider right to increase the difficulty or left to decrease the difficulty. On higher difficulty settings, monsters do more damage and are harder to kill. Select More Options, then change any options that you need to. You can exit this menu by pressing B (Xbox One) or circle (PS4) when you're done. For example, you might enter a code for a specific world into the "Seed" text field, or you might uncheck the "Generate Structures" box to prevent villages from being created.

You can buy antibiotic ointments that are made to treat oral sores. These ointments will not only help heal the cut, but many also contain pain relievers. They can also reduce swelling at the site of the wound. When using oral ointments, make sure to read the directions carefully. Using salt water is one of the most common ways to heal a mouth cut. Mix a teaspoon of salt to one cup of warm water. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved. Swish the solution around in your mouth, making sure you pay close attention to the area with the cut. Salt has antiseptic properties that can clean the cut. Honey is an antibacterial and antiseptic substance that can help boost the immune system. Applying honey onto the cuts in your mouth can help kill bacteria, heal the wound, and reduce pain. Place raw honey onto the cut once each day. Apple cider vinegar has natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties. This can help kill any bacteria in the cut and help promote healing. Dab apple cider vinegar on the cut twice each day until it is healed. Baking soda has antibacterial properties. This can help kill bacteria in the cut in your mouth and promote healing. Make a paste with one teaspoon of baking soda and water. Place the paste on the cut two to three times each day. You can also try brushing your teeth with the baking soda paste, but avoid brushing the wounded area or else you may hurt it and cause it to start bleeding again.

You can buy black beans online or from a local seed store or garden center. You may find them under the name “black turtle beans.” Black beans flourish in warm weather. Plant them in late spring (e.g. in May), so that they can take full advantage of the summer sun.  Your soil temperature should reach at least 60 °F (16 °C) before planting. Your beans should germinate in 10-14 days, and will reach maturity in about 100 days.  Try to plant the beans at a time when you know they will get at least 3 months of reliably warm weather. Black bean seeds germinate more easily if you prep them by soaking them for a few hours or overnight. Soak your beans in clean water for at least 2 hours before planting. Your beans will be able to make better use of nitrogen in the soil if you apply a legume inoculant, either to the soil or directly to the beans. Check your local garden supply store or look online for an inoculant formulated for beans and other legumes.  You can use mycorrhizal fungi as an inoculate to help the roots form and to help the plant with nitrogen fixation. You can apply some inoculants by pouring the beans into a bag with the inoculant and shaking gently to coat the beans. Others must be mixed into the soil before planting. Follow the directions on the product package. If you wish, you can simply make a long furrow about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and space your beans out along the furrow, instead of making a series of separate holes. Make sure your beans are spaced far enough apart so that they have room to spread out as they grow. Cover your beans with a light layer of soil (enough to fill the planting holes or furrows) after planting.  Give your beans a little extra space (at least 6 inches or 15 cm) between each plant if they are a bush variety as opposed to a vining variety. Sow your beans with the eyes facing down. Moistening the soil at planting time will encourage the beans to germinate. Lightly water your soil after planting, so that the soil is damp but not soggy. Make sure to keep the soil moist as the...

You can buy flaked coconut online or in the baking aisle. Flaked coconut come in larger chunks than shredded coconut. Take out a large mixing bowl. Combine 1 1/4 cup flour, 1 1/3 cup flaked coconut, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Before you add the baking soda, check to make sure it is not expired. Expired baking soda can make your cookies turn out flat. We’re going for chewy, plump cookies in this recipe. If you’re using an electric mixer to cream the wet ingredients, use the mixer bowl. If you’re combining the wet ingredients by hand, use a regular mixing bowl. Cream the 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup white sugar until smooth. Beat until the batter is light and fluffy. Do this by adding the flour mixture in batches of three so you don’t over mix the batter. Try not to make the cookies too large and about 3 inches apart. If your batter is hard to shape with the tablespoon, place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to cool. Then, use a tablespoon or a small scoop to place the cookies on the cookie sheet. They should appear lightly toasted and golden in color. This recipe makes about 3 dozen cookies. You may end up with more or less cookies, depending on the size of the spoon or scoop used to shape the cookie dough. Serve as a snack or dessert with tea, coffee, or milk!  Once you master the basic coconut cookie, you may want to try adding other ingredients to the batter, like nuts. Fold in chopped macadamia nuts or almonds after you have combined the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Another nice addition is drizzling the top of the coconut cookies with dark chocolate once they have cooled.

Use flaked coconut, not shredded coconut, for this recipe. Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Take out an electric mixer bowl or a medium mixing bowl. Add the egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to the wet ingredients. Gradually add in the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Use a tablespoon to drop the dough onto a cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool the cookies on wire racks for 10-15 minutes.


You can buy fresh, uncooked ham, ham that has been preserved by curing it, and ham that has been preserved with smoke. Some ham is packed in juices, and some is packed dry. Each type is available bone-in or boneless, and you can buy it pre-sliced to make it easier to serve. If you're not sure what type of ham to buy, consider these popular choices, each of which has a different flavor:  Fresh or frozen uncured ham. This type of ham has never been cooked or cured. It has the light meaty flavor of fresh pork, similar to a pork roast or chop. Cured ham. Ham can be preserved by curing it with salt. Virginia ham, for example, is cured with a thick crust of salt. Salt is a distinguishing flavor in cured ham. Cured and smoked. Smoke is used to preserve this type of ham, lending it a very distinctive smoky flavor. The cooking time will depend on how much meat you're cooking. Since hams take awhile to cook and make excellent leftovers, you might want to figure in a little more than you strictly need for one serving per person. Here's the breakdown for how much ham you need depending on what type you buy:  For boneless, you need ¼ to ⅓ pound per serving. For ham with a small bone, you need ⅓ to ½ pound per serving. For ham with a large bone, you need ¾ to 1 pound per serving. If you bought a frozen ham, it's important to thaw it the right way so it's not still frozen in the middle when you try to cook it. If this happens, the ham won't reach the correct internal temperature and may not be safe to eat. There are two ways to safely thaw a ham:  Refrigerator method: Place the frozen ham in the refrigerator the day before you plan to cook it. It will slowly thaw while remaining cold. Allow at least 24 hours for the ham to fully thaw. Cold water method: If you're shorter on time, you can submerge the ham in a large pot of cold water. Let the ham soak in the water for several hours, until it has fully thawed. Keep the water cold so the outer parts of the ham don't get too warm while the inside thaws. Dry-cured ham is rubbed...

You can buy kits just for the chemicals you need to check, found online and at pet stores. However, sometimes it's easier to buy a master kit which will let you test for multiple chemicals. The two main types of kits are test strip kits and chemical drop tests. Pull out a test tube of water from the tank. Dip the test strip into the water, and pull it out. Wait for the strip to develop a color. Compare the color on the strip to the color ranges on the included cards to determine the chemical levels in your tank. With this kit type, which is an alternative to the test strip kit, you scoop out a test tube's worth of tank water. Read the directions on the back to check how many drops of the provided tester to add to the water, and add the drops. Put the lid back on, and shake it up.  Wait for the color to develop in the water, which happens within a few minutes. Compare the color to the color ranges on the provided cards to determine the chemical levels. You'll need a separate test tube to test for ammonia and nitrites. If you're using ammonia chloride to add ammonia, you only need to test nitrites. Once the nitrites in your tank reach 5 to 10 milligrams, stop adding the ammonia. Keep testing the nitrites once a day. Once they drop to 0, you're ready to add fish.

You can buy physical silver (scrap silver and bullion), paper silver (which buys you the rights to physical silver that you won’t have to store yourself) and silver futures, which is a way to bet on what you think silver will be worth in the future.  If you want to own tangible silver, beware of bait-and-switch techniques where a seller offers papers that claim to grant you ownership of physical silver held elsewhere. To avoid scams and other unfavorable buying situations, find a reputable dealer. In the United States probably the best way to connect with a reputable dealer is viewing the list of recommended dealers on the US Mint's website. Type "coin dealer database US Mint" into your favorite search engine, and that will connect you to a page on the US Mint's website where you can search for national and local dealers that have been vetted by the Mint. In financial markets there's something called a troy ounce that shows the price of a precious metal per raw ounce. Look up the current value to make sure a seller is not charging you considerably more than market price for silver. (A price slightly higher than market value would not be unusual, but you should be able to find silver at market price if you look hard enough.) In any sale of silver, there are often specific terms that need to be negotiated between seller and buyer. Without considering these issues, you may be selling yourself short when purchasing physical silver.   If you are buying "paper" silver (documents granting silver ownership), determine how the seller holds the physical silver represented by the paper. For example, buyers have reported that commercial banks may offer paper representing physical silver, only to encounter frustrating delays and obstacles when the customers demand to receive actual silver. Discuss numismatic and raw values for silver. Some sellers offer silver coins as physical silver. In this kind of transaction it's important for the buyer to understand how numismatic  (coin) value may affect a purchase. Without going...

You can buy small squares of beeswax or beeswax pastilles online. If you buy pastilles, you won’t need to grate them. If you buy the squares, grate them over a small bowl so that they’ll combine more easily with the rest of the ingredients. Grate enough for 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of cosmetic-grade beeswax. The more beeswax you use, the firmer your lip gloss will be. Use a pot that is large enough to hold the glass measuring cup, and fill the pot with 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) of water. Put it on the stove and turn the burner on to medium heat, and then set the measuring cup with all your ingredients inside of the pot.  Be careful to not get any water inside of the measuring cup, as it won’t mix in with the ingredients and could ruin your lip gloss. If you don’t have access to a stove, you can also melt the ingredients in the microwave. Just be careful to not burn the ingredients and microwave it in 10- to 15-second increments, stirring it every time you take it out to check it. The gloss will be much easier to pour while it’s still hot or warm. Once it has cooled down, it won’t flow as easily. Use actual lip gloss containers rather than tins or chapstick tubes. This recipe makes gloss rather than balm, and its consistency will naturally be a bit runnier than balm would be. If you’re having trouble getting the gloss into the tubes, use a funnel.

Prepare the beeswax by grating it so it will melt faster. Make a double boiler on the stove. Pour the mixture into lip gloss containers while it’s still warm.


You can buy starch from the store rather than making your own mixture. Most grocery stores will have starch in the laundry aisle. You can purchase it in liquid or powder form. A few good brands of starches are Niagra Spray Starch, Sta-flo, Dr. Beckmann, and Easy on Double Starch. If using powdered starch, you will need to mix it with water before use. Take four tablespoons of starch and add it to one pint of hot water in a bowl or jug. Stir until the mixture resembles milk. Then, pour the mixture into a spray bottle for use. You can use the amount of water and starch recommended above, but you should check with the directions on the starch label before creating the mixture. Place the garment on a shirt hanger, and allow the garment to be exposed to fresh air for a couple of moments before placing it in a closet. This will provide time for the starch to finishing adhering to the fibers of the garment and provide a superior hold, creating the crisp texture and look that you want.

You can buy the root whole from a local grocery store or spice market, or you can also dig up the plant in the wild. Chicory is a beautiful purple flower that grows in empty lots and beside the road in North America. You can also purchase ground chicory root that has already been mixed with coffee grounds. Chicory coffee is a New Orleans specialty, so you may need to order online if you aren't in the area. Learn how to identify it so that you don't dig up the wrong plant. Chicory is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows in gravel or weedy fields, often beside roadways, across most of Canada and the U.S. The flowers are light blue or lavender and slightly ruffled at the ends of their petals. Dig up the plant carefully to preserve the roots.  To prepare for coffee, wash the roots until all the dirt is off. Dry the whole root on a towel in the sun. The chicory plant flowers from July to October. The flowers only open on sunny days. The roots, however, are best to pick between fall and spring.  The leaves and root of the plant are the bits that most people eat. The flower itself is technically edible, but it has a bitter taste. The bits should be no longer than one inch each. Make sure that they are small enough that they will roast quickly, but not so small that they will burn through. You don't need to worry about peeling the root. Arrange the root pieces on a baking sheet, then cook at 350 degrees until golden brown. You should smell a rich, coffee-like aroma. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicory cool.

You can buy tumblers on the internet or at a garden supply store. You can also build your own. Pick a tumbler based on your needs. Remember that larger tumblers will take more strength to turn, but you will be able to compost more material at one time. One advantage to tumblers is that they are more aesthetically pleasing (and less smelly) than compost piles. You can put your tumbler anywhere in your yard that is convenient. Composting takes advantage of organic scraps to make a nutrient rich soil. These scraps can be anything from egg shells and left over salad to grass clippings or dried leaves. Just open up the lid on your tumbler and throw in any scraps that you have from the yard or kitchen.  Smaller sized pieces are better. Try grinding or shredding any large materials before adding them to the tumbler. There are many organic things that should not be put into the compost pile, including citrus peels, onions, meat, and fish scraps. You want your end product to be a nutrient rich soil that can be used around your garden or home to grow things. Plants need a balance of carbon based and nitrogen based nutrients. You want your finished compost to have a carbon-nitrogen ratio of roughly 10-1. Adding a mixture of about 75% grass clippings and 25% kitchen scraps will typically put you in the right ball park. The best way to gauge your carbon to nitrogen ratio is to keep track of the things you put in your tumbler. You can find guides that give you the relative carbon and nitrogen content of different compost materials online. The microbes in the compost will break down some contaminants, but not all of them. If you want to avoid having pesticides and other contaminants in the plants you are growing, make sure that you don’t add them to your tumbler. You can use all organic ingredients to avoid getting pesticides in your compost. From start to finish, the compost can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. The important thing to remember is that this time frame is from the last scrap you put...

You can calculate your total calorie needs with the number of available online calculators.  These may be easier to use and less complicated than doing the required mathematical equations yourself. You can find a variety of calculators from weight loss and wellness clinics and some medical associations' websites.  Make sure you're choosing a reliable website and do not use calculators from blogs or other personal sites. Most of these calculators operate in the same way.  You'll input your height, weight, gender, age and activity level.  Have this information handy when you calculate your needs. Your BMR is the amount of calories your body requires just to perform daily, life sustaining functions.  It's the rate of your metabolism or the amount of calories your body burns at rest.  Your body needs a set number of calories just to stay alive and function normally.  Anything from keeping your heart beating, breathing or digesting food requires energy in the form of calories.  It accounts for the largest amount of total calories burned each day.  The BMR equation for the average American woman is: (4.7 x your height in inches) + (4.35 x your weight in pounds) - (4.7 x your age in years). Add 655 to this total for the BMR.. The BMR equation for the average American man is: (12.7 x your height in inches) + (6.23 x your weight in pounds) - (6.8 x your age in years). Add 66 to the total for the BMR. You will use your BMR in the Harris Benedict equation to find out how many calories you burn with activity included. The Harris Benedict Equation can help you calculate an estimate of how many calories you burn each day by multiplying your BMR by your average activity level.  Multiply your BMR by your activity level.  This will give you a fairly accurate number for your daily total caloric intake. If you're sedentary (little to no exercise) multiply your BMR by 1.2. If you are lightly active (exercising about 1-to-3 days each week), multiply your BMR by 1.375. If you are moderately active (exercising moderately and/or...

You can catch a snake using a long slender object like a badminton or tennis racket, or a long broom handle attached to a mosquito net. When you see the snake, you'll want to get quickly to the scene. Place your net in front the snake's head and coax the snake into the net. The long slender object you attach to the net should be long enough to keep your body a safe distance from the snake, while attempting to net it. Once the snake enters the net, lift up the net immediately to prevent the snake from getting out.  Make sure your net is large enough for the snake you're aiming to catch. The net in front of the snake's head is effective because the snake will interpret it as a place of safety and willingly enter it. Approach the snake carefully and quietly. If you run over to the snake loudly you will provoke it to move away quickly, or worse, bite. This is a simple way to catch a snake without having to directly handle it. Take a large garbage can and lay it on its side. Coax the snake, using the broom, into the garbage can. You can then move the garbage can to where you would like to release the snake. Do this by placing a forked stick directly behind its head and applying pressure. The amount of pressure you will need to apply all depends on the size of the snake but it should be enough to keep it from moving its head without hurting the animal. There are special snake forks that can do this more effectively than a common stick. If a snake gets into your house and you want to quickly remove it, you may have to act quickly with the items at hand. Use an old shirt or bath towel, and a pillow case. Toss the rumpled up tee shirt or towel over the snakes head and upper body. The snake will generally be afraid and coil up under the cloth.  Without delay, place the pillowcase down over the shirt.

You can certainly eat the skins of hazelnuts, but most people like to remove as much of the skin as possible so they can cleanly enjoy the taste of a roasted hazelnut. Roasting them actually makes it easier to remove the skin, so you should do so after roasting. However, know that some varieties of hazelnut, such as the Oregon hazelnut, have stubborn skins that are difficult to remove. You won't be able to remove all of the skin of the hazelnuts, and that's okay; the skin provides the nuts with color and valuable nutrients. Here's how you remove the skin of the hazelnuts:    Many people love eating roasted hazelnuts just plain, as they are, while others like to incorporate them in salads, meat dishes, as well as other recipes. Here are some great recipes that include hazelnuts that you can try:  Hazelnut milkshakes Hazelnut bacon cookies Hazelnut martinis Homemade Nutella Hazelnut bananas Chocolate hazelnut buns Hazelnut cupcakes

Remove excess skin. Carefully transfer the hot roasted nuts to a clean kitchen towel. Wrap the nuts in the towel then rub the nuts lightly against each other. This will remove any loose papery skin, which may have a slight bitter taste. Serve.


You can certainly go to the nearest discount store and pick up a pack of traditional red bandanas to use to dress up your dog. However, you can also find great bandanas online through pet retail stores or dog grooming supplies stores. From your favorite sports team, a biker motif, or just a cute and funny pattern, bandanas come in a huge array of patterns. Pick a simple colored bandana or a wild multi-colored pattern, whatever you desire.  Many people enjoy purchasing various themed bandanas for the seasons or various holidays. If you are handy with a sewing machine you can make a bandana from a square of fabric with the edges finished with a simple hem. For small dogs or puppies a 14 inch square of cloth is good. For medium sized dogs an 18” square of cloth is good. For large dogs you should get a 22” square and for giant breed dogs a 26” square is needed.

You can check regulations at a courthouse or on your city's government website. There may be different rules and regulations regarding keeping livestock. You may only be allowed a set number of chickens, or you may have to keep your chickens a certain distance from your home or your neighbor's home. Unfortunately, some cities may not allow you to house livestock at all, so you may not be able to keep chickens in your city. It's a good idea to talk things over with your neighbors before getting chickens. This is especially important if you live in area where houses are close together. Your neighbors may have some concerns, which you can talk over with them. You also do not want your neighbors to be alarmed by unusual noises coming from your home.  Say something to your neighbors like, "Just a head's up, but I'm planning on getting chickens. I just wanted to let you know so you can come to me with any questions or concerns." Be sure to tell your neighbors you are getting hens, not roosters, which are much noisier. Since roosters can be noisy, they may be included in your city's noise regulations. Chickens also generate a smell, so work on keeping these issues under control.  Do not keep more than 5 chickens in the city at once. More than 5 chickens is likely to generate a lot of noise and smell. Make sure to clean out things like droppings once a day. This will minimize unpleasant odors. You may want to put up a fence around your yard to block some noise from your chickens. Rodents can be a major problem in the city and may attack chickens. If your city has a rat or other rodent problem, you need to keep your chickens safe. Sweep the coop daily and keep leftover food off the ground. A solid fence outside the coop can also keep your chickens safe from predators. In a city, chickens may develop illnesses due to things like smog and car exhaust. Some possible symptoms to look for indicating injury, illness, or disease include things like coughing, wheezing, and labored breathing. Serious illnesses may be marked by...

You can check your visa status by visiting the U.S. Department of State’s Consular Electronic Application Center website. Once there, you will be prompted to provide various information. Once you visit the website, you should save it as a bookmark so that you can find it again easily. There are two choices: “Immigrant Visa (IV)” and “Nonimmigrant Visa (NIV).” Select the one that applies to you from the drop-down box. If you applied for a “nonimmigrant visa,” then you will need to select your location where you interviewed. The dropdown box will contain a list of cities around the globe. They are listed by country first, and then city. For example: “BELARUS, MINSK.” Select the city where you applied for your U.S. visa. When you applied for a visa, the embassy or consulate should have given you an Immigrant Visa Case Number or an Application ID. It may also be your “confirmation number.” You should enter it in the box. The number might be something like “AA0020AKAX” or “2012118 345 0001.” The CEAC website also requires that you enter a CAPTCHA code so that they know you are not a spam bot. The code will differ each time you visit the screen, but it is usually a mix of letters and numbers.  If you can’t read the CAPTCHA code, then you click on an icon that will speak the code to you. After entering the code, click “Submit.” If you don’t want the hassle of trying to find out your visa status online, then you can call (603) 334-0700. Provide your name and ask for an update on your case.

You can choose a local shop or an online consignment shop. Do an Internet search to find retailers that specialize in selling furs by consignment. If you can’t find a specialty shop, choose one that simply sells furs in addition to other items. You will have to split the profits from the sale with the consignment shop, so review the policy and contract before agreeing to or signing anything. Choose the shop that has the best policy (such as offering cash rather than store credit), the most agreeable contract (perhaps one that will pay for you to ship the coat to them), and will give you the most money for your fur coat (e.g., a 70-30 split, rather than a 50-50 split). You can either drop off the coat and certificate, or ship it to the company if it is not local. They will contact you when the sale has been made and provide you with payment for your item.  When shipping fur, wrap it in white, acid-free tissue or packing paper.  Ensure your fur lays flat in the shipping container, rather than folding it.  Purchase shipping insurance in case the package gets damaged or lost en route.

Find consignment shops that sell furs. Review the consignment contract. Provide the shop with your coat and the examination certificate.


You can choose any color you want. Generally, it looks more realistic if you use the same color for all 12 sheets. Use the normal 13 by 20 in (33 by 51 cm) size of tissue paper for a larger decorative flower. If you’re making them as decorations for a party, follow your color palette. Arrange the flowers as decorations for parties such as garden parties, birthday parties for young girls, baby showers, and bridal showers. To suspend the flowers, tie a length of monofilament to the floral wire and hang from the ceiling.

You can choose between a spray bottle or just a perfume container. Spray bottles are easy to apply and can fit in a purse, but you can make a larger quantity of perfume in larger containers. There are a variety of essential oils out there with multiple uses. According to aromatherapy, some scents have certain effects on the mind or body. Having a lot of essential oils to choose from will come in handy for creating new fragrances. You may want to purchase a bottle of vanilla extract, too, if you want to try mixing vanilla as a scent. Other popular perfumes fragrances are jasmine, lavender and rose. Alcohol is used to preserve and combine the scents that you use. You want to choose a mild alcohol without a lot of influence on the fragrances you select. Many people use vodka or rum for their homemade perfumes. You can choose from your essential oil selection which fragrances you'd like to use, but don't use more than three. Put 25-30 drops of the scent you'd like to stand out the most, while adding 12-20 drops of one or two other "base oils." It would be best to let these oils sit for several days to allow the fragrances to combine, but this is optional if you need a quick-fix. After your oils are mixed, add about four ounces of alcohol of your choosing. Shake the alcohol-and-oil mixture well to allow all the scents to mix and combine. You can either use the perfume right away, or allow it to sit for a few weeks to let the alcohol scent fade and the perfumes to combine. Sometimes fragrances change after several weeks. You may enjoy the scent right when you mix the products, but then discover that you don't enjoy it after a couple weeks. Alternatively, you may dislike a scent right away, only to discover the scents combined well after two weeks of sitting alone.

Buy a container to hold the perfume. Buy essential oils. Buy alcohol. Mix two or three chosen oils in a bottle. Add the alcohol to the oils.


You can choose both winter shoes and summer shoes as your wardrobe evolves through the spring. Summer is the time to enjoy your sandals and espadrilles. Just be sure to enjoy them without socks. You can still be somewhat flexible as your wardrobe transitions to winter, but avoid the sandals and espadrilles. They don't match with the heavier fabrics and colors of autumn. Choose loafers, flats and boots. Make sure that your heels are wider to avoid slippage.

Be flexible in the spring. Lighten up in summer. Pull back in the fall. Choose practical shoes for winter.


You can choose free photo editing websites, like resizemypicture.com or Web Resizer. There are many photo editing apps you can download from the app store, as well. Or, try computer programs like Paint, Microsoft Office, or Photoshop. Select the image you would like to use for your locket.  Some image editing apps include Photo Editor, Photo Resizer, or Image Size. Some websites like Locketstudio.com do all the work of resizing your image for you. Upload your image, select your locket size and shape, and download your image. You can adjust the size, either by height and width, scaling percentage, or pixels. If you can resize your image with different heights and widths, enter the approximate size of your locket. Your image will convert to the size you entered.  If you have to resize your image by percentage, start by figuring out the percentage you need to reduce the image size, based on current image size. If this calculation is confusing, you can proceed by trial and error. If resizing your image by pixel, first determine your image's pixels before you resize. When you are in your image settings, select the "Pixels" option in image settings, and scale down your picture based on pixel measurement. After you have your picture size perfect, save the image so you can print it. Save it as a picture file, such as a JPEG.

You can choose from many kinds of oils, including coconut, olive, castor, almond, jojoba, argan, tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender, or peppermint oil. If you choose an essential oil you can even mix it with a carrier oil to dilute it, such as adding several drops of tea tree oil to a few tablespoons of almond or castor oil. You can use your fingers or a cotton ball to apply the oil to your scalp. You can coat your entire scalp or simply concentrate on the itchiest or driest areas. The oil is good for your hair, too, so you can coat your strands with the oil, if desired. Use your fingers to gently massage the oil into your scalp using circular motions. Spend a few minutes massaging the oil in so that it penetrates the top layer of your skin. If you have a very dry scalp, consider leaving the oil on overnight. Simply cover your hair with a shower cap or scarf if you are worried about getting the oil on your pillowcase.  Shampoo your hair and scalp with a mild or moisturizing shampoo to remove the oil after letting it soak. If you applied the oil to your hair, simply rinse out the shampoo and oil. If you didn’t put the oil in your hair, massage a conditioner from the mid-lengths to the ends of the strands.

Choose an oil to apply. Dab the oil on your scalp. Massage the oil into your scalp. Leave the oil on for one to twelve hours.


You can choose “E-TTL” for standard exposure, or “manual” to change the settings yourself. It’s recommended that you use the manual setting in order to manipulate the flash to produce the highest quality photos. You will then need to adjust the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Change the power of your flash depending on the ambient light and the subject you are shooting. If you take a photo and the subject looks harshly lit, try turning down the power and taking another shot. Or, if your subject is too dim or shadowy, turn the flash up to get a brighter shot. Higher power is best for darker locations, while a lower power setting can be used in areas with good natural or artificial light. Setting your camera to night mode lets it know that there is minimal ambient light in your setting. The camera will then use a slow sync flash. This will slow down the shutter speed while still shooting the flash. This setting is great when for adding a little more ambient light into your photograph while still freezing the action with the flash.

Select a flash mode. Set the flash power. Use night mode.


You can chop vegetables or meat and make sauce the night before. This will allow you to pour the ingredients into the crock pot in the morning and set the temperature to cook all day. If you want smaller pieces that are firmer, add the vegetables later in the cooking time. Placing your meat in a hot pan with a little olive oil to brown all the sides will seal the juices inside, creating a richer flavor. This is true with large roasts and diced meats. Ensure you cook it quickly and turn it on all sides. This will shorten the cook time and ensure the sauce is mixed properly. If you prepared your ingredients the night before, pre-mix the sauce and place it in the microwave for a minute before placing it in the slow cooker. Pork shoulder and chicken thighs are cheaper than breasts and chops. The long, slow cook time allows the fat to be released into the meat, making it just as tasty as more expensive cuts. Buying more marbled cuts of meat will also keep your meat dishes from drying out. The long cooking times will make strong spices stronger. This is especially important if you are adjusting a regular recipe for use in a slow cooker.

Prepare your ingredients the night before, if you want to cook the meal during a work day. Cut vegetables into larger pieces, if your recipe calls for you to cook it for more than 6 hours on a low setting. Brown your meat before placing it in the crock pot. Heat the sauce before placing it in the slow cooker. Use fattier cuts of meat in a crock pot. Reduce the amount of herbs and spices you use.


You can chop wood, and sell it for about 5-6 gold at most pubs and mills. Though it doesn't pay a lot, you get 2 wood every time you chop one log, so each cycle, you chop 3 logs, so you get 6 firewood each time. Sometimes, animals will carry a small amount of coin from their last kill, or you can sell the pelts and meat for about 10-30 coin depending on what kind of pelt it is (for example, wolf pelts are usually more than, say, fox pelts, because wolf pelts are larger).  Do not fast travel. Instead, walk everywhere. You will run into tons of animals whose pelts you can take. Make sure to craft your pelts. Use the tanning racks to turn the pelts into leather; craft the leather into leather helmets at the forge; improve the leather helmets at the crafting table. You will get tons of money and level up really fast. If you bought a house, save them in your chest every time you kill a dragon (run between 190 to 390). They tend to add up or just save expensive armor and go out and look for more sell what you want to collect coins.

Drying time can vary based on the type of paper and where it's hanging. You can test it with your hand to know when its fully dried. If you're not satisfied with the shade once the paper dries, simply repeat steps 3-5.

You can clip or pinch the leaves away from the stems. Use a salad spinner to do the job done more effectively. If you don't have one, washing the leaves in a bowl of water and using paper towels to dry them will work too.  It should be big enough to hold the basil leaves. Be very vigilant to make sure you don't blanch them for longer than this. Move the pot to a different burner so it cools off as quickly as possible. Do this as quickly as you can so that the basil stops cooking. This is the part that takes the longest, so be patient. Just use your hands to individually lay out each leaf and then use a paper towel to pat them dry. You can let the leaves dry for 5-10 minutes if you like. Lay them out individually so they don't touch each other too much. You may find that you have to use two pans lined with cookie sheets. Place the cookie sheets with the leaves in the freezer and wait until the leaves are fully frozen. Then, remove them from the freezer. You can use a zip-lock bag, Tupperware, an empty milk carton, or another container that you can seal easily.
