These fruits come in sizes ranging from 3 pounds to over 70 pounds (1.3kg to 32kg), and with either red, orange, or yellow flesh.  Jubilee, Charleston Grey, and Congo are large, cylindrical varieties, while Sugar Baby and Ice Box are two smaller, globe shaped types.  Decide whether to plant watermelon seeds or transplants. Watermelon seeds need to germinate at a temperature over 70 degrees. If you live in a cool climate, it might make sense to start them indoors a few weeks before the last frost, so you'll be able get the seedlings underway at the beginning of the growing season. Otherwise, plan to plant the seeds directly in the ground well after the last frost, when the temperature is holding steady at above 70 degrees. Watermelon seeds and transplants are available at nurseries in early spring. Watermelon plants need a minimum of 6 hours of sun every day. They produce large vines that spread and take up a lot of space; plan on allotting a 4 by 6 foot plot for each plant, unless you're planting a mini-watermelon variety. Use a tiller to work the soil for the beds thoroughly, breaking up large clumps of packed earth. Remove any vegetative matter or deeply incorporate it into the soil.  Watermelons like loamy, fertile, well-drained soil. To determine whether your soil gets good enough drainage, take a look at it after a heavy rain. If you see puddles in the dirt, the soil isn't draining well enough. To further enrich the soil, till compost into the top of layers.  Watermelons grow best in soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8. Test the pH of your soil and determine whether the levels are appropriate for watermelon plants. If not, you can change the balance by adding compounds available for purchase at a plant nursery.

These fundamental needs can't be ignored, even for a day. Depending on their age, puppies need to eat 3 to 4 times per day. Full-grown dogs usually eat just twice per day. Fresh, clean water should be provided at all times, so your dog can drink whenever it gets thirsty.  Pick out the right kind of food for your dog's size, age, and breed. Different types of dogs have different nutritional needs. Most dog food packages detail how much food should be given daily depending on the size of the dog. Make sure to buy food with high quality ingredients. Dogs have sensitive digestive systems and can become ill if they aren't fed high quality food. Don't feed dogs human food, especially junk food that's high in salt and sugar. A good rule of thumb is to look at the first ingredient on the dog food package. If it is a meat - not cornmeal -- this food will be higher in those essential proteins your dog needs daily. Consult with your veterinarian about how often your puppy or dog should be fed to meet its metabolic needs. Dogs may be distantly related to wolves, but they're domesticated creatures who enjoy the creature-comforts of home as much as we humans do. Your dog needs a clean, dry, and warm place to sleep at night. Whether your dog sleeps indoors or outside, make sure it has a space that's sheltered from the elements with a regulated temperature.  If your dog spends a lot of time outside, it needs a place to take shelter when it rains, snows, or gets too hot or cold. Do not leave your dog outside in inclement weather. Many dogs enjoy sleeping in kennels lined with comfy blankets with a few toys. Others prefer to sleep on a dog bed in their masters' bedroom, or in a special spot somewhere in the house. Dogs, like humans, need to move around to stay fit and healthy. Some breeds need to exercise for hours every day, while others are fine if they only go outside a few times each day. It's important to understand the needs of your breed and meet them. If you have a high-energy dog, be sure it gets plenty of exercise. ...

These hats are great with any outfit and are a great touch for a steampunk ensemble. Just keep the outfit simple since these hats are pretty elaborate. Pork pie hats were invented in the Victorian period. Although they were traditionally worn by men, they look great on women as well. Knit and wool berets are great for the cooler seasons. These hats were also originally designed for men, but they look great with a woman's suit or even with girly dresses.

These hooks have adhesive backings that stick to walls, so you don’t have to put a hole in the wall. Weigh the object first so you can pick a hook that will properly support it.  Adhesive hooks come in various sizes and should say how many pounds they will hold. The largest of these hooks hold 8 pounds (3.6 kg) and the smallest are rated for only 1 pound (0.45 kg) of weight. For objects that are slightly heavier than your hooks are meant to hold, use 2 hooks. Use a clean rag or paper towel and some rubbing alcohol to scrub the area of any debris. This will ensure that the adhesive will stick firmly to the wall. If you don’t have rubbing alcohol, you can use warm water mixed with a small amount of dish soap to clean the wall. Make a small pencil mark where the center of your hook will be. If you are using 2 hooks, measure the width of your object and divide that number into 3. Make your first mark on the wall at the 1/3 position and the second mark at the 2/3 position. For example, if your picture is 9 inches (23 cm) wide, you’d place 1 hook at 3 inches (7.6 cm) in from the edge, and the second at 6 inches (15 cm). Double check that the 2 marks are in line either using a leveler or by measuring down from the ceiling. If the item you’ll be hanging has a wire hanger on the back, be sure to consider the length of the slack. You can test this by pulling the center of the wire tight toward the top of your object. Measure from the bottom of the object to where the wire catches. If your hook’s adhesive strip is not already on the back of the hook, peel the liner off 1 side of the strip. Line it up to the back off the hook and press down. Some adhesive hooks come with the adhesive already affixed to the back. Skip this step and move on to the next if that’s the case with the adhesive hook you have. Remove the paper lining on the back of the hook, line it up straight, and press the hook firmly onto the wall. Hold for 30 seconds and release. Once the adhesive has dried, hang your items from the hook(s). If your item...

Choose adhesive hooks for objects up to 8 pounds (3.6 kg). Clean the wall with rubbing alcohol for a better hold. Determine where on your wall you want to place the hook(s). Remove the liner from the adhesive strip and affix it to the back of the hook. Press the adhesive side of the hook to the wall for 30 seconds. Allow the adhesive to dry 30-60 minutes.


These include both physical and behavioral signs that your cat is having problems with its jaw. The signs of a jaw fracture include:  Inability to close the mouth Pain and swelling around the jaw and face Reluctant to eat Other injuries especially around the head Bleeding from the mouth and/or nose Obvious deformity of the jaw and/or face Broken teeth Drooling blood-tinged saliva When either the front or back leg or the pelvis is broken, a cat will show a number of signs that indicate there is a serious problem going on. There is always a chance that in addition to the broken limb or pelvis another part of the cat’s body may be injured so keep that in mind when examining the cat for injuries and exercise caution as you do so. The signs of a limb or pelvis fracture include:  Limping Unable to bear weight on the affected leg Swelling Pain when area is touched or move Refusing to walk Hiding Rib fractures are very serious. This is a medical emergency and your cat will need to be taken to a veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately to assess its breathing and to help it survive. This is because the ribs can puncture the lungs, causing extreme breathing difficulties. Signs of rib fractures in cats are:  Shallow breathing Difficulty breathing Chest looks distorted Pain Hiding The bones in the tail can be fractured like any other bone. A big cause of tail fractures is being slammed in a door. A tail that is pulled can also break. A tail fracture presents as a limp tail, a tail unable to be swished from side to side, a bent or crooked tail, and/or a tail that is painful.

These include chicken, fish, eggs, and soy products just to name a few. Taking a biotin supplement is also a good way to ensure that you reach the recommended intake of 30 micrograms.  Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H helps your body to metabolize fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids. These are the building blocks of protein, which may assist your hair follicles in growing hair faster. Eating a diet that is rich in biotin and protein may also help your nails to be stronger and your eyelashes to grow. Eat a wide range of fruit and vegetables to help your hair, skin, and nails become healthy and strong. Take a daily multivitamin if you are concerned that you aren’t getting enough of each vitamin and mineral.  Spinach is a great vegetable to potentially help your hair grow out faster. Spinach is high in protein and vitamins A and C, and each of these helps to moisturize your scalp. Not having enough of these vitamins can make your hair brittle and damaged, which won’t help it to grow quickly.  Broccoli is another great vegetable which may help your hair to stay healthy and strong. Broccoli is rich in A, C, and essential B vitamins, which aids your hair in staying moisturized, as well as growing thick and healthy. If you decide to take a daily multivitamin, make sure that it contains vitamins A, C, and E, to reduce your risk of hair damage and loss. Start drinking more water each day by adding an extra glass, and slowly increasing your intake. Staying hydrated means that your hair may become more moisturized and healthy, which may help it to grow longer over a shorter amount of time. Plain water doesn’t have to be your only source. Herbal tea is also a good option, and many fruits and vegetables have a high water content.

These include colors like eggplant, burgundy, navy, and hunter green. Avoid bright colors, like purple, red, blue, and green. For an even more slimming effect, go for opaque-colored tights or stockings. Bright colors don't necessarily have to be hot pink and neon green. They can be red, blue, and green. Consider opaque tights and stockings for this; they'll work better with dark-colored shoes than sheers. This will help blend your legs into your shoes and make them appear longer. For example, if you have a dark blue dress, you can pair it with forest green tights or plum-colored tights. If your outfit has a colorful print, you could choose a pair of tights that matches that color. For example, if you are wearing an ivory skirt with a purple, green, and brown pattern on it, you could wear plum, dark-green, or brown tights. The colors will match your outfit and bring it together, but they will be dark enough so that they don't detract from your outfit. In general, you'd want to match your tights to the hem of your skirt or dress, but you don't want them to be the same, exact color. For example, if you wear a dark blue dress blue dress with dark blue tights, your entire outfit will blend together too much, and lose all of its uniqueness. Instead, you could try a dark blue dress and grey or brown tights. When it comes to neutral colors, you want to try to match your tights and stockings to your shoes, but this is not the case when it comes to fun colors, such as plum, blue, green, and burgundy. Matching your tights to your shoes in this case will bring in too much of the same color, and make your outfit look less unique. Instead, you could try lighter green tights and darker green shoes. On the other hand, you want to avoid creating too much contrast between your tights and shoes. Light blue tights and black shoes will make your legs look short. Dark blue tights and black shoes will make your legs look longer.

Avoid wearing tights that are the exact, same color as your shoes.


These include companies that specialize in defense, consumer staples, and utilities. The fact that these companies provide necessities makes them less exposed to recessionary revenue drops. Counter-cyclical stocks should be part of a conservative portfolio before a recession. Buying them at the start or during a recession exposes the investor to losses as the economy recovers. Keep in mind that as the economy recovers, it may be a good idea to limit reliance on these stocks. These counter-cyclical companies will do poorly as investors and consumers turn to the fast-growing, cyclical companies. That said, these companies are still sound investments and will likely still build value in the long run. These investments are not only incredibly reliable and safe, but will also likely increase in value over the course of a recession. The most common type of high quality bond is the United States Treasury Bond, which carries virtually no risk. You may also consider High quality or Premium rated (AAA or AA) bonds. Certain foreign bonds may also be reliable enough to weather recessions. For more information on investing in bonds, see how to invest in bonds. Precious metals, particularly gold, are a good investment in a recession. During times of stability, investors are more likely to take chances on speculative investments and the price of gold will fall. However, when there is a recession, gold prices tend to rise, making them a good investment during a recession. Mutual funds and EFTs hold a diversified portfolio of stocks specifically designed to grow through varied market conditions. Because of the depressed value of stocks, a recession is a good time to buy into a mutual fund that will likely grow quickly upon exiting the recession. diversification is the risk management strategy in place with a large portfolio of security.

These include keywords that are too difficult or advanced for your consumer base, keywords that don't quite apply to your company or product, and keywords you're already using. Unless your marketing budget is suitably large, you likely won't want to start out with the most expensive keywords. You can view the cost-per-click (CPC) of a keyword or phrase by typing it into a site like https://serps.com/tools/keyword-research/ and reviewing the results. When you looked up your competitors' keywords, you likely found some that you aren't using. However, using high-ranking keywords that your competitors aren't using may give you an advantage. Again, using a site like https://serps.com/tools/keyword-research/ for this step will make your process easier, though you can set up an ad through Google to use the AdWords Keyword Planner as well. This step will help you weed out any keywords that don't quite meet your return on investment standards. One thing to remember during this process is that there is a difference between an algorithm's interpretation of an organic keyword and a human being's interpretation of the same. If you see any keywords that don't look like they belong, consider removing them during this time. This is also a good time to ask your employees, marketing experts, or customers what they think about your list. The more input you have, the better. The final test of whether or not your keywords are relevant, broad, and/or applicable enough will be putting them to use. You'll want to keep a close eye on your site's analytics during this time. If site traffic notably increases, your keywords are working.

These insects will not eat dead prey. It has to be moving to attract their attention. You can keep live insect colonies on hand for your praying mantis or simply catch food for it around your home or garden. In addition, they only need to be fed every other day or even every third day if they don't catch the food you offer every other day. Adult females may need a bit more food than adult males. You can buy flightless fruit flies online or at places that sell insect and reptile food. These tiny flies are perfect for young hatchlings, as they won't get out in your home! However, if you have fruit flies in your home already, you can catch some and feed them to your praying mantis.  To catch fruit flies, poke holes in the top of a plastic container. Put fruit in the container, which will attract the flies. Once you have a couple, place the whole container in the freezer for just a few minutes, which will stun them. Then you can drop them into the praying mantis' container, where they will come back to life. You can use any small insect of this size you find around your home or garden, including gnats and aphids. Praying mantises eat live insects and typically grasp the prey in their forearms, making it a good way to judge the size you need. Adolescent mantises can eat small cockroaches or crickets, for instance, as well as house flies. As they grow, increase the size of the insects. You can purchase these from reptile stores, but you can also try capturing them yourself. Some prey, such as roaches or caterpillars, tend to hide, and your mantis may not go after it. If it's not eating these insects, try something with more movement, such as a cricket or fly to see if that works better. You can also hold out the food on tweezers, which will encourage the mantis to take it straight away. Large insects could injure your mantis if it doesn't eat them, so if your praying mantis doesn't seem interested in 15-30 minutes, you may need to take them out. Also, take out any bits of insect left behind by your mantis after...

These instructions are for a hollow core door, although you can adjust them to patch solid wood doors with small chips. For a hollow door, use a sharp utility knife to cut the rough edges of the hole so that it has a clean edge which is beveled towards you. Crumple some paper or place another supporting material just below the hole of the door. This will keep the filler material from dripping down the inside of the door. Purchase some aerosol foam insulation. Only one can should be needed. Fill the hole completely and continue until there is a bubble of foam extending out of the hole as well. When it's dry, use the utility knife to cut off the material outside the door by placing the blade flush with the door's surface and cutting downward. The low-expansion foam will work best for this purpose but it's possible to use another kind if your choices are limited. Generously apply Spackle to the remaining hole area. Once it's applied, use a putty knife wider than the hole itself to remove the excess. Once it's dry, sand down the surface until it's smooth using 100 grit sandpaper. . Paint the surface of the door and it should look brand new! Giving the whole thing a base coat and then single top coat will create the most uniform appearance but it's not necessary.

These kinds of questions can help a shy guy open up and talk about himself and can also lead to him feeling known, liked and comfortable with you. Avoid asking questions that can be answered with a quick “yes” or “no” because these may create awkward pauses and make the conversation feel forced. Good examples of open-ended questions include:  "How did you get interested in carpentry?" "What brought you to live in San Francisco?" When you ask about all of his favorite things, such as sports, movies, books, and more, you’re showing him that you’re interested in getting to know him better. Once you’ve talked a bit about each other's likes and dislikes, you’ll most likely find some commonalities that you can discuss further and bond over. Make sure to show interest in him and not just his role or activities. Hobbies and interests are good, neutral places to start, but when you're both ready, be sure to look deeper. If you hang out together, make sure to tell him you’d like to see him again when you part ways. Verbal clarity will make him more sure of your feelings and desires, which will ease his uncertainty and draw him out of his shell. Also, pay attention to his reactions when you say things that directly communicate your interest in him. If he smiles or agrees enthusiastically, you can assume that he may be interested in you too. Making physical contact releases oxytocin, the bonding hormone, so initiating touch may quickly start making him feel liked and close to you. Touching him breaks through a kind of barrier that may lead him to feel less nervous or unsure about holding your hand or putting his arm around you later on.  Ask permission first, and make sure he's open to that sort of attention and affection. Try lightly and briefly touching the outside of his arm to communicate assurance while you’re having a conversation with him. If you aren’t interested in him romantically, be cautious with physical contact. Giving him frequent hugs, for example, may seem friendly to you but he may interpret it as a...

Some printers have different mechanisms for removing cartridges. The cartridges are usually stored under a printer’s scanner unit, so lift this up. Most commonly, pressing down on the cartridge clicks it out of place. Then gently wiggle until the cartridge slides out.  Always check the owner’s manual if you can’t figure out how to remove the cartridges. Do not pull on the cartridges if they don’t come out easily. This could damage the cartridge and your printer. If you’ve never refilled these cartridges before, there should still be stickers across the top covering the refill holes. Carefully slide the knife blade under the sticker and peel it back. You can remove it completely because you can use tape to cover the refill holes later.  If this is a multicolor cartridge, you’ll see 3 holes when you peel back the sticker. Each hole leads to a separate ink chamber. Protect yourself with gloves while handling a knife. Keep the gloves on to prevent yourself from getting ink on your hands. On the ink cartridge, there should be a little circle on top. This indicates where you should make a hole to refill it. Take the cartridge in one hand and the thumb drill in the other. Push the drill into the circle until it pokes through the plastic. Then work the drill in a circular motion to make the hole bigger.  Test out the size of the hole by inserting the syringe through it. If it passes through cleanly, the hole is big enough. If you find it easier you can also use a power drill to make the hole....

These layers of resin are intended to improve the look of the part, not the strength or functionality. Allow each layer of resin to set up before putting on the next layer. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to hours, but you will be able to tell because the resin will get tacky (sticky) when it is ready for the next coat. Once you have applied three to seven layers of resin, it is time to sand it. You should sand out any imperfections in the resin, like dust particles or uneven surfaces. Take care not to go through the resin, if you sand the fibers underneath you will destroy the part. After you have sanded the imperfections out of the resin, you can polish it. You can buy a polish appropriate for your resin at the same retailer that you purchased the resin. Apply the polish with a clean, soft rag, and wipe it off with another clean, soft rag. This will give the part a nice shine. Make sure that there are no cracks or other deformations on the part. If the part is damaged, you will have to start over and make another part. If you don’t see any imperfections, you can use the part.

These lures are meant to ripple the water surface with popping and splashing as you retrieve it.  In the spring, bright colors work best. In the fall and winter, black, white or gray work well. Choose topwaters that produce a lot of noise and splash to get the bass' attention. Topwater lures come in walkers, poppers, wakebaits, minnows/twitch baits, prop baits, buzzbaits, and frogs. Each different type of topwater lure is most effective in different conditions.  Walkers are most effective when covering a lot of top water quickly because it keeps the bait in striking distance for the bass. Poppers should be deployed when fishing around stumps, docks, bushes, rocks, and small areas that are covered because these lures will aggravate bass into biting. Wakebaits work best in clear water when fish are attracted to the V shaped wake. Minnows/twitch baits excel in clear lakes or small areas where bass may spook at aggressive lures. They are great during spawning when bass are guarding their nests. Prop baits should be used in places with a lot of grass, especially during spawning season. They create a lot of movement even without moving a great distance, which keeps them in a bass’ striking range longer. Buzzbaits should be used in sparse grass and places where you feel your lure might get snagged but you still want a topwater presentation. These are most effective after spawning during the late summer. Frogs are meant to mimic real frogs so use them effectively around heavy grass. They can also be used around cover as they are one of the toughest lures to snag. Topwater lures are meant to simultaneously activate the feeding and agitation response from bass but require you to mimic fleeing or helpless prey with erratic movements.  Create a back-and-forth or zig zag pattern on the surface of the water when you employ a walker lure. Snap your wrist and rod tip downward at a sharp angle and then point the rod tip back to the lure quickly so it glides. Give a series of fast snaps to make the bait move from left to...

These materials can often be submerged completely in water, making it easier to clean them. Look at the tag on your bag that says what it's made out of, as well as how to wash it. If it says it's okay to wash in hot water and can be submerged, it's fine to put in the washing machine. If your bag says hand wash only, you'll need to hand wash it in water yourself or spot treat it. If it's okay for your bag to be fully submerged in water, place your bag in the washing machine and choose a hot water setting. Measure out your laundry detergent according to its specific cup measurement (though it's not necessary to use a full load's worth of detergent since you're just washing the bag). The hot water will help sanitize and kill the mold.  If it's possible to put your washing machine on delicate while using hot water, this is a good option to help ensure your bag isn't damaged. Skip the detergent if you're worried about damaging your bag and just sanitize it in the hot water. Fill a basin with hot water and soak your bag in it, rubbing the mold off with a scrub brush or sponge. Rinse the bag with clean hot water once you've removed all of the mold to help sanitize and clean it fully. While the water should be hot, it shouldn’t be close to boiling. Water that’s too hot may damage your bag.

These may include astronomy, rocketry, geology, auto mechanics, bicycle repair, welding, or even robotics. Any sort of tinkering is good practice. Plenty of today’s mechanical engineers started off by tinkering with Lego bricks as kids, and kept on adding new creative and problem-solving hobbies. Hammers and screwdrivers are a great place to start, but there are many more types than that. If you have the opportunity to take a wood, metal, or plastic shop class, do so. Auto shop is also a good choice. Don't forget to learn about various kinds of measuring tools, too. Ask friends and family to give you appliances and other machines that have broken, or gather them inexpensively from garage sales or even neighbors' curbs. Then, open them up and see what makes them go. If you can put something back together so that it works, great!  If not, figure out what's inside and see what you can learn from it before throwing it out.  If you're still not sure how something works after taking it apart, look it up and find out. Use tools appropriately, unplug things before opening them up, and don't mess around inside televisions and CRT monitors. (The capacitors inside can hold a dangerous charge long after they are unplugged.) Although electronics are more closely associated with electrical engineering, mechanical engineers need, at the very least, to be able to communicate with electrical engineers. More and more systems are electromechanical, so it's good to know a bit of both.  Some mechanical engineers do specialize in electrical engineering and become electro-mechanical engineers. Try things like ham radio operation and computer repair. Build stereo speakers or learn the resistor codes for fun. Your invention doesn't have to be the next light bulb or even a new idea. It could be something as simple as a bent wire coat hanger to dislodge something that always sticks. It could even be a new process or a more efficient way of organizing your desk or going about your day-to-day tasks. Create invention challenges for...

These medications include acetaminophen, ibuprofen or naproxen, and they will help you to manage the body aches that you are going to feel during withdrawal. The small aches that you've been handling easily with narcotics are going to feel magnified as the drugs leave your system. Ibuprofen and naproxen are both NSAIDs which work very similarly and if you mix them, remember each contributes towards the maximum dose of any NSAID (dosing for acetaminophen would be independent). Your best choice is loperamide hydrochloride (Imodium AD). While this medication is structurally similar to the opioid meperidine (Demerol), loperamide doesn't cross the blood/brain barrier. By acting on the opioid receptors in your intestines, loperamide will stop intestinal spasms and the diarrhea that comes with them. The medication moves food more slowly through your gut and increases water absorption. Many people report that this medication is the most important key to easing withdrawal symptoms. Only take loperamide if you need it, but take double the suggested dose on the package. Remember, your intestines are used to a barrage of narcotics. A normal dose simply isn't going to be as effective. Skip loperamide if you are pregnant, if you have colitis or if you have a high fever of F 100.4 (38 C) or more. Also, don't take it if you start to notice blood or mucus in your stools. You definitely don't want to run out of medication and have to walk or drive yourself to the store in full withdrawal mode.

These nutrients can help improve your testosterone production. If you’re not producing enough testosterone, you may not be growing beard hair as quickly as you could be. Every day you should be getting 11 milligrams (0.17 gr) of zinc, 310 milligrams (4.8 gr) of magnesium, and 600 IU of vitamin D. Taking supplements or eating foods rich in these nutrients can help you reach these daily amounts.  Eating 5 ounces (140 g) of beef, 7 ounces (200 g) of cashews, 6 raw oysters would get you enough zinc for 1 day.  Eating .75 cups (180 mL) of almonds a day is an easy way to get enough magnesium.  Spending 25 minutes in the sun or eating 4 ounces (110 g) of salmon can get you all of your vitamin D for the day. Protein encourages hair growth, so protein-rich foods can help your beard hair grow faster. Make sure you're getting around 56 grams (2.0 oz) of protein a day. Some foods high in protein are fish, chicken, turkey, Greek yogurt, beans, milk, and pasta. Eating 9 ounces (260 g) of fish, turkey, or chicken a day would help you get your recommended daily intake of protein. Biotin, also called vitamin B-7, may help your beard hair grow faster. Biotin helps make the proteins in your hair stronger, which makes it easier for your beard hair to grow. Look for a Biotin supplement online or at your local vitamin store. Aim to take between 2.5–5 milligrams (0.039–0.077 gr) of biotin a day.

Eat more zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D. Eat more protein-rich foods. Take biotin supplements.


These objects need to be wide enough to cover the entirety of the record. They need to be heavy enough to put pressure on the record without warping it further. Two large books are best for this purpose. Put the first object on a flat surface, such as a table. Put the record atop the object, followed by your second heavy object. Make sure the objects cover as much of the record as possible; if any part sticks out, they may be warped. Before you place the record between the two objects, ensure it is clean. The last thing you want is a grain of sand grinding a scratch into your record. This is perhaps the longest method you’ll use. You’re relying on constant, gradual pressure to un-warp your record, and this will take some time. Prepare to wait for days, maybe even weeks for the record to un-warp.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Gather two large, heavy objects. Place the warped record between the objects. Prepare to wait for a few days.


These often appear at the beginning of any blueprints. If you are involved in any serious construction work, you will want to make sure to read it all thoroughly.  The title block's first section lists the blueprint's name, number, as well as the location, site, or vendor. If the drawing is part of a series this information will also be listed. This section is largely for filing and organizational purposes. The second section comprises bureaucratic information. Approval dates and signatures are located here. If you find a blueprint that interests you and want to know more, this information can be invaluable. Section three of the title block is the list of references. This lists all other drawings that are related to the building/system/component, as well as all blueprints that were used as reference/inspiration. Similar to the second section this can be incredibly helpful if you are to begin your own blueprint. Any time changes to a building/system/component are made, the drawing has to be redrafted. Those changes are listed here. In addition to the standard scale, grid, and lines, blueprints are often comprised of other symbols and numbers. In order to fully comprehend the specific blueprint you're working with, be sure to learn those symbols by reading through the legend. The notes will reveal any specifications or information the designer thinks will aid in understanding the drawing. For projects that actually begin construction it is even more important to read the notes. It's possible practical information like, "Do not begin working until 8am," will be listed. With 2D blueprints, there are three common perspectives: plan, elevation, and section. Understanding which one of these is being employed is an important first step to reading any drawing.  Plan: A bird's eye view of planned work. Usually this is done on a horizontal plane at 30" above the floor. This perspective allows precise mapping of width and length. Elevation: A view of planned work from the side. These drawings are usually oriented from...

These often smell a little funky, and the color can be scary at first, but purple shampoo and conditioner will help keep your hair that striking white color, without developing brassy tones. The concept is similar to when people with blotchy skin use green face powder to reduce the redness of their complexion; because purple is the opposite of yellow, it counteracts those unwanted hues, and keeps your hair looking silver. You can use these once or twice a week. Don’t overdo it – everyday use will give you too strong a hue. This will help keep your hair that pristine white color. Some toners are also purple, like shampoos and conditioners designed for bleached hairs. The application process will be different for different toners, so follow the instructions on the box.  Again, be sure not to overdo it. Touch up with toner every couple of weeks at most. More than that and your color might start to look drab and flat. Consider having this done professionally the first time around if you have never done it before. Your stylist can teach you some tricks to make sure you are comfortable doing it on your own. Bleaching does an incredible amount of damage. It will need to be treated with extra care.  Only wash it a 3 or 4 times a week, and apply a hair mask every time you do.  Blow dry and curl it as infrequently as possible, and use products designed to protect hair from heat when you do. Use only sulfite-free products, to avoid damaging and yellowing your hair.  Once or twice a month, apply liquid coconut oil to the ends of your hair, wrap it in a towel, and let it sit for a few hours.

These online tools allow you to simply enter in the number of full-time employees you have and the hours worked every week by part-time employees. Then the online tool will do the calculating for you to give you an estimated FTE value. Reputable calculators can be found at https://www.healthcare.gov/shop-calculators-fte/. You will need both your total number of full-time employees and the hours worked by your part-time employees. This information should be readily available in your accounting records. Remember that full-time employees are those who work more than 30 hours per week. Enter your employee data into the calculator in the relevant fields. Be sure to check whether the hours worked are entered on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis and edit your data appropriately. Double-check your information before pressing "calculate" to make sure that it is correct. Keep in mind that the calculation you get from the FTE calculator tool is just an estimate. You can use this number for roughly estimating FTE values for yourself for guidance or educational purposes. But these calculations should never be used as a replacement for legal or tax advice from a professional in the field. And when you need a 100% accurate calculation for business reasons, you’ll need to use a different method.

These openers use a needle to withdraw wine from the bottle through the cork. It pumps argon gas into the bottle to make up for the wine it takes out. When you pull the needle out, the cork re-seals the hole. This will keep wine fresh much longer, but you should still drink it within a few weeks to a month. With this device, it's not as important to put leftover wine in the refrigerator. These devices help limit the wine's exposure to air, and they may keep the wine drinkable for up to 3-5 days. To use a vacuum sealer, simply place the gadget in the top of the bottle and use the hand pump to create the seal.  Similarly, with a hand cork, place it in the bottle and use the provided hand pump to blow it up and create a seal. Place the wine in the refrigerator.

Use a needle opener to keep from exposing wine to air in the first place. Try other preservation gadgets, such as vacuum seals and inflatable corks.


These operations include addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (×), and division (÷).  You have to hit the equals (=) sign to complete a calculation using these symbols. Use these functions the same way you would on a basic calculator. For example, to find 12/4, enter 12÷4={\displaystyle 12\div 4=}. A scientific calculator will automatically calculate using the correct order. For example, if your problem is 2 - 4 × -3 ÷ 2, you can type 2−4×−3÷2={\displaystyle 2-4\times -3\div 2=}, and the calculator will automatically do the order of operations for you. This will override the calculator’s order of operations.  Hit the beginning parentheses before you hit your first number, and hit the ending parentheses after you hit your last number. The calculator will complete that calculation before you enter your next functions. If you need, you can also nest parentheses, though be sure that you can keep track of them. If you accidentally hit a wrong key, hit the DEL{\displaystyle \mathrm {DEL} } button. This will clear the last button you pressed, but will not clear any calculations you’ve made. To clear the line, hit the CLEAR{\displaystyle \mathrm {CLEAR} } button. Chances are, you can scroll up to see past calculations. You can hit delete with each line in order to get rid of these. To use some functions, you might have to use the 2nd{\displaystyle \mathrm {2nd} } key. These functions are listed above the button, similar to how symbols are listed above the number keys on a keyboard. To use these functions, hit the 2nd key first. Getting the syntax right for some operations may involve switching the order between the operation and the number. For the TI-30X IIS, one of the 2nd functions is to turn off the calculator. Simply press 2nd ON{\displaystyle \mathrm {2nd} \ \mathrm {ON} }.

These pants are meant to be bold, feminine, and sexy by having a high waist, slouchy crouch, and cropped legs. When wearing them, let your other pieces and accessories stay simple so you do not have a look with too much going on. Here are some examples:  Choose a simple tank, classic heels or flats, a pair of hoop earrings, a clutch, and a cropped cardigan or blazer to complete your overall look. Keep jewellery to a minimum. Choose simple earnings, and either a necklace or bracelet to keep your look simple. For those days when you feel like staying in your pajamas, throw on a pair of comfy harem pants. Pair them with a simple tank and flats to create a comfy and relaxed look. Harem pants can be a great alternative to the everyday office slacks that you may find yourself wearing too often. When choosing a pattern, try sticking with solid colors and avoid bold prints. Pair them with a neutral silk top that ends around the waist of the pant, or tuck a longer shirt in. Add a structured blazer or cardigan, classic heels, and a piece of jewelry to be work ready. Instead of the typical little black dress, opt for a great pair of fitted harem pants. These pants can look fierce with a pair of high heels, a fitted tank top in your favorite cut, and a clutch to hold at your side.

These pieces tend to be more difficult to remove as they will have stuck to the fabric. Once they are loosened by the dryer, they should come off in one piece and will be easier to remove by hand. Masking tape will work, and duct tape is even better due to its strength. Wrap the tape around your hand with the adhesive side facing outward, and dab the clothing. The tissue should stick to the tape, easily removing it from your clothes. A lint roller is inexpensive and can be purchased at almost any convenient store. Roll it along your clothing, and the tissue and lint should stick to it.

These places are very similar to a puppy mill. They often sell underage and sometimes even sick sugar gliders. They charge too much compared to what you’d pay a breeder or for a rescue. They also usually sell unsafe and even dangerous supplies like leashes, wire or wodent wheels, tiny cages, etc. These people usually push a pelleted diet, as well.  Consider adopting or rescuing. Many people purchase gliders as "impulse buys" because they are very cute, then come to regret the decision when they realize how much work is required in caring for them. You can usually find at least a few locally on Craigslist or Sale groups on Facebook. They will normally be much cheaper than buying joeys from a breeder. Also consider buying from a reputable breeder. They will charge less than a Mall, Fair, or Flea Market vendor, but usually more than a rescue or adopting.

These plants require a regular care regimen.  You will be able to keep your Venus flytraps inside or outside, planted in pots. Venus flytraps will need a good deal of sunlight and warmth for most of their growing cycle. You will need to have patience, as Venus flytraps require a period of dormancy during the winter. They will grow less and require grooming. Be prepared to trim dead leaves and blooms off of the plant to keep it healthy and to water the plant on a schedule. You may need to feed the trap with crickets or other insects if it doesn't catch many on its own. These plants have several different breeds or species.  Some breeds are hardier than others. If you are just getting started with Venus flytraps, growers recommend the following types of Venus flytraps: King Henry, Dentate Traps, Dingley Giant, or Microdent varieties. These types tend to be hardier plants that are less susceptible to common problems like disease and root rot. The DC XL variety of Venus flytrap is known to be very hardy, but these can be more expensive than other types. Many nurseries and home and garden stores will have them in stock during their growing season.  Venus flytraps are usually sold in season, which typically runs from mid-spring to mid-autumn. You can search at larger retailers like Home Depot or Lowes in the garden section. Walmart can even carry them, if your local store has a garden section. Smaller, privately owned nurseries are also likely to have these in stock when they are in season. You will want a plant that looks healthy and that is growing well.  Avoid any Venus flytrap plants that are potted in regular soil. These plants require a special kind of soil that is free of minerals. Look for a plant that has vibrant green leaves and shoots. The traps themselves will be green or even reddish in color. If a plant has many dead leaves that have not been trimmed, don't choose this plant. Grooming is a part of Venus flytrap maintenance, and you will want to purchase a plant that has been properly cared for. Keep...

These pralines differ because you bake them instead of boiling them in a pan. Preheat your oven at 350 degrees. Put the oven rack in the middle position. Measure out all the ingredients into one bowl. Stir them until they are well blended together. The nuts should be completely covered in the mixture. This recipe is nuttier than others. If you want to have a more balanced ratio of candy to nuts, reduce the amount of nuts to 1 cup. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon all the ingredients from your bowl onto the baking sheet. Use a rubber spatula to remove any excess honey and sugar from the sides of the bowl. Spread the mixture into a thin layer. You can use aluminum foil if you want. Don't use wax paper because it will melt in the oven. Place the baking sheet onto the middle rack in the oven. Let the mixture bake for 8 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven. The honey and sugar should be melted and bubbling along the pan. Using a heat resistant spatula, stir the nuts into the mixture, coating them completely. Put the pan back into the oven for 3 more minutes. Take them out and stir them one more time. Put them back in the oven for three final minutes. Take the pan out of the oven. They should be darker now. Spread the nuts back into a single layer. Allow them to cool. Once they are completely cool, pull them off the parchment paper. They will start to break apart. Take the larger pieces and break them into smaller ones. You can use your hands or a knife. Serve and enjoy.

These products do not work on temperatures below 20 °F (−6.7 °C), so they may not be effective at melting the ice. Products that contain nitrogen-based urea will also run off into your lawn, down drains, and into the street, which can cause environmental harm. Check the label of your deicing product to make sure it does not include this ingredient. Applying decider will not completely remove the ice no matter how much you apply. The best strategy is to apply deicer sparingly and allow it to make the job of shoveling away the snow and ice a bit easier.  Check your products recommendations for how much to apply to an area. You usually need about 1 handful of rock salt per square yard or one handful of calcium chloride per 3 square yards. After applying a deicing product, you will need to return to the area in about 15 to 20 minutes to shovel and break up the snow and ice. Also, keep in mind that calcium chloride and magnesium based deicer can damage your concrete by causing it to flake off or causing pitting. It may also dis-color pavers.

These products trap some of the minerals in your water during the wash. Make sure the product is "non-precipitating" — you may need to search online to find out. Avoid "precipitating" conditioner, which leaves scale on fabric and washing machines. Once you've picked a product, add it to laundry as follows: Add a second batch of conditioner during the rinse cycle. Without this, all the minerals will just latch back onto your clothes. reat hard water spots with vinegar. Distilled white vinegar can remove white spots on fabric, drains, or porcelain from mineral buildup. Apply plain or dilute with an equal amount of water, scrub away the problem, then rinse. This temporary solution can get tedious if scale builds up quickly. If your water is only slightly hard it might be a cost-effective approach.  Towels can also become stiff due to hard water. Treat them the same way. Vinegar can bleach some types of fabric and damage stoneware. Some people add ½ cup (120mL) vinegar to the rinse cycle in their water, while others claim this can damage the rubber seals on your machine. Consider checking with your machine manufacturer.

These products typically come in a powder or pellet form that is applied directly to the carpet. Let the cleaner stay on the carpet for at least a half hour, but several hours will work better. This will help remove the smell because the product will absorb it.  There products are available at most big box, grocery, and home improvement stores. Sprinkle the product thinly across the whole surface of the carpet. You don't need a ton to absorb the smell. Once the cleaner has been on the carpet for at least a half hour, you can simply vacuum it up with your normal vacuum cleaner. Vacuum the surface several times to ensure the you remove all of the odor remover. Once you have vacuumed up the odor remover, clean out your vacuum filter and bag or container. Carpets and other hard-to-wash fabrics, like cloth furniture and curtains, should be washed using a wet vacuum. Steam cleaners work better than ordinary wet vacuums because the heat helps to open and expand the stitching of the fabric. This allows the detergent to sink in further and eliminate more of the skunk smell. An ordinary wet vacuum is still better than nothing, however. As a general rule, the carpet should be washed within 1 or 2 hours of initial contamination in order to prevent the smell from sinking in too deep.

These programs allow you to download torrent files, which is a form of peer-to-peer file sharing. Torrent files are very small, but point to larger files on your hard drive that you are sharing with others. Popular torrent clients include:  uTorrent BitTorrent Vuze There are a variety of places you can look for torrents online, but none can be linked to here. Make sure that the torrent has positive comments, as this increases the chances that you're downloading a working copy without viruses. Try to find a torrent that has a lot of "seeders". These are the people that are sharing the files, and the more you can connect to, the faster your download can go (up to your connection's limit). Torrent files are very small, and usually download in a couple seconds. This is because the torrent file doesn't actually contain any of the game data. Instead, it lets you connect directly to other users to download chunks of the game which are stitched together once the download is complete.  Most torrent clients will be set to automatically open .torrent files. If it doesn't open in the torrent client, select your newly-installed client from the list of programs.

These programs are competitive, so you may end up commuting or moving to another city to complete your doctorate. A Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (D.O.) or Doctor of Medicine degree (M.D.) is required before you can move on to dermatology residency training. This program will take you about four years to finish. The first two years will be spent in the classroom; the latter two years will be spent doing more hands-on training. You'll be working on clinical rotations, observing the pros and getting your feet wet. Finally! Med school is not for the faint of heart. If you can't handle not sleeping, a stressful course-load, and zero social life, it may not be the path for you. And rightfully so -- people's lives will be in your hands. Can you handle the heat? You absolutely need to get good grades. Half-assing your way through won't cut it if you want this to be your profession. Unlike undergrad, you can't party away the night and fill in mostly Cs on your multiple choice exams and get by. This is stuff that needs to be taken very seriously. For the med school student, June through August are not months to be drinking beer, watching baseball, and gearing up for September. You have to be permanently geared up. Take this time to take extra courses or get work. The more experience you have, the less you'll be phased in the long-run. Heck, study abroad and help out in a grassroots medical program in a third world country. Volunteer. Do something related to what you want to do for the rest of your life. Get on a committee. Organize events. Find a mentor. Do something that sets you apart from the rest. After around 3 years or so in med school, you'll be granted the opportunity to choose your electives -- or, in other words, what you want to focus on.

These questions are extremely important, but are far too often overlooked by students. Instead, people tend to ask themselves: "What jobs can I get with this major?" "What can I do with this major?" It's important to remember that your major isn't necessarily a direct route to a future career. Even if you do get the job you were planning on getting your freshman year, the best way to ensure happiness and success in that job is to do something you care about. And that starts with your education.  When considering your passions, think beyond hobbies like sports or musical instruments. Think about the impact that you want to make on the world and the legacy you want to leave behind. Are you passionate about business? Do you want to save the environment? Are you an artist? Do you love math? Do you want to be a doctor?  Keep in mind that not only may your interests change over the next four years, but that technology and the economy are constantly changing. By the time you graduate, the job you were planning on getting could be obsolete, while hundreds of new jobs that never existed before may have emerged. Even if you don't know what you want to be "when you grow up," you can still determine your skills and interests by looking back at your academic history. Consider not only which subjects you enjoyed the most, but which subjects you excelled at.  Which classes were the most exciting and inspiring to you? Were they science classes? Math classes? English classes? Creative classes like art or theater? Consider which classes you performed the best in. "Easy A" classes don't count; think of challenging and comprehensive classes in which you performed well. Don't think of choosing a major as applying for a job; think of it as choosing your life's path. The jobs, internships, and other opportunities that open up for you as a result of following your passion come second. On the other hand, if your passion lines up with your career plans, then choose the major that will get you there fastest. If you want to be a doctor...

These quests can be seen in any city or by just simply opening the map and finding the blue-colored quest "!" icons. These quests reset every day for players to take and complete. Aside from decent experience, these quest also rewards players with crafting materials, gold, and Eidolon fragments, which can be exchanged for key fragments.  You can also check your Aura Kingdom Journal tab at the bottom right of your screen; this will show the location of the NPC and what kind of quest they hold. Each map typically has three daily quests: one monster-slaying quest, one item-collection quest and one dungeon quest. Make sure that the quest is within ten levels of your current level. There are also fame quests that you can take from bulletin boards in every map. These bulletin boards hold special quests for players to take. Once accepted, you will be teleported to a certain place where you will be given a task to complete. This is a fun way to level up and will also reward you with fragments and mystery boxes. Do all of your daily quests before moving on with available story quests. The levels you gain from the daily quests will make the main quests much easier. Many higher-level players in Aura Kingdom prefer to do daily quest than grinding out fights with random enemies. The fragments they gather will help them unlock new Eidolons. If you have finished doing your daily quests and have no main quest to continue, you can focus on dungeon raiding instead. Dungeons, just like repeatable quests, reset every three hours or less.  You can enter dungeons with your friends in Hell Mode, which gives huge experience and a chance of dropping valuable weapons and equipment. Hell Mode may be difficult to clear, but with a decent Bard and Tank, one round will only take five minutes or less. Many players prefer raiding dungeons because of the quick EXP, especially when you run with your friends in the game.

These range from a high school diploma to a bachelor’s degree.  Childcare centers require that you have a high school diploma and a special certification for working with young children. The most common certification is the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation.  Head Start programs (founded to serve low-income children) require you to have an associate’s degree, although half of their teachers must have bachelor’s degrees.  Public schools generally require you to have a bachelor’s degree. In some states, you are legally required to have experience working with young children to be hired as a preschool teacher. Even if it is not required, prospective employers will certainly look for it. Experience could be in a daycare, summer camp, after-school program, or as a teacher’s aide. At two years, an associate’s degree can put you on the path to your desired profession faster and less expensively than a bachelor’s degree. Community colleges in your area will frequently offer associate’s degrees in early childhood education and related fields.  You will take courses in subjects including educational principles, child development, administration and management, and language arts instruction for young students. You will also complete some student teaching. A bachelor’s degree in early childhood education or a related field will combine coursework in core social sciences and humanities subjects with both courses and extensive fieldwork (observation and student teaching) in education. These programs will also prepare you to become certified in your state. Most states will require you to pass additional tests before you can become certified to teach in public schools. In some states you will take a test called the PRAXIS, while others develop their own testing materials. Online guides have also compiled directories of each state’s requirements, though much of the content will not vary.  The Education of Young Children PRAXIS will test your knowledge of subjects including child development; appropriate...

These runes can be found as early as the first time you visit the Hound Pits or right after your escape from prison (between the missions “Dishonored” and “High Overseer Campbell”). The first rune is automatically given by the Outsider during his first meeting with Corvo. As soon as you wake up from the Outsider’s call, go outside and take out the heart (received from the Outsider). Head north toward Samuel’s boat and dive into the water. Head east until you hit the wall, then head northeast to a small islet. Climb to the top and pick up the second rune. Be careful while you’re in the water, there are fish there that damage you. You can kill them by hitting them with a sword. The third rune can be purchased from Piero for 500 gold.

These sails should be rectangles about 2” wide by 12” long. Using medium-grain sandpaper, sand the edges until smooth. Do not use MDF or chipboard as it will not hold up in outside weather. The circle should be 1” thick, so use 1” plywood or glue two ½” plywood circles together. Use a jigsaw to cut out the circle. Use a pencil and a ruler or straightedge to draw a line that divides the circle into two halves. Draw another line that divides it into quarters. Then draw two more lines to divide those quarters in half. When you’re finished, the lines on the circle should resemble a sliced pizza. Drill a ⅛” hole in the center of the circle. This should be the spot where all the lines you just drew intersect. Begin at each of the lines you drew in Step 3 and use a pencil to draw 45-degree angled lines across the edge. You may find it easiest to use a protractor or a “speed square” (a type of protractor used in construction). Repeat Step 3 on this side of the circle, placing your ruler at the other end of the 45-degree angled lines you just drew. When you’re finished, you should have two sets of lines that are offset from each other by about a half-inch. Each cut should be about 1” deep. Use a chisel or file to make sure these cuts are wide enough to fit the sails. To give the circle stability as you cut, you will probably want to clamp it to a worktable or large piece of wood set on two sawhorses. Move the clamp as needed. Center each sail in a groove and fit in place. Set aside and allow the glue to dry completely. This may take between 24-48 hours, depending on the humidity in your area. Once the glue has completely dried, you can use a chisel to remove any excess glue. The tail will be shaped like an elongated baseball “home plate.” Draw a 6” square on a piece of ½” plywood.  Place a ruler or straightedge at the top of the square 2” from the outer edge of the square. Tilt it to a 45-degree angle. Use a pencil to draw a straight line from the top of the square to the outer edge of the square. This should create a...

Cut eight sails from ½” plywood. Use a drafting compass to draw a 6” circle on plywood. Divide the circle into 8 equal sections. Draw 45-degree angle marks on the rim of the circle. Flip the circle over. Use a jigsaw to cut along the slanted lines. Apply wood glue to the inside of each groove. Cut a tail from plywood. Cut out the tail with a jigsaw. Attach the tail to one end of a 1” wooden dowel. Paint or stain the windmill. Thread a 1” metal washer onto a long wood screw. Pre-drill a ⅛” hole in the other end of the dowel boom. Find the center of your windmill. Drill a ⅛” hole through the boom at the place you marked.


These serums work by coating each strand of hair to make sure the cuticle stays smooth, and does not frizz up. Use a wide tooth comb to apply the serum and then let your hair dry or style it with a blow-dryer. Silicone products typically work much better when used with heat styling. The spray will to help weigh your hair down and flatten it with a lasting hold. Spritz a shine spray on your hands and then run them through the ends of your hair. Avoid applying it directly to your hair or to the roots, as it could make your hair look greasy.You can purchase shine spray online or at your local drugstore. If you only have 5 minutes to try to tame your frizzy hair in the morning, maybe the best solution is to just throw your hair into a stylish updo and call it a day. Top knots are a great option for a frizzy hair updo as they are supposed to have a messy, casual look. You want to avoid shampoos with harsh products as they can dry out your hair further.  Get in the habit of conditioning your hair after you shampoo. How often you shampoo and condition will depend on if you have an oily or dry scalp, as well as color treated hair, and the water quality in your shower. Take a hair quiz or survey online to determine how often you should be shampooing and conditioning your hair. It will help to manage your frizz and create a nice, healthy shine. Unless you have fine hair, you should always be looking for a deep conditioner and leave it in for 5 minutes before washing it out. Remember that products labeled this way are usually too heavy for frequent use. Alcohols can dry out your hair, especially if they are a major ingredient, setting you up for frizz or even more frizz. Watch out for the following names on the label (or any similar names): ethanol, ethyl alcohol, SD alcohol, denatured alcohol, propanol or propyl alcohol. Other types of alcohol used in hair products are fatty alcohols, which are well-tolerated. These alcohols tend to have prefixes like lauryl, cetyl, stearyl or something similar. An hour before taking a...

Use a silicone serum before you style your hair. Apply hairspray to your comb before using it. Apply a shine spray to tackle any flyaways. Put your hair up into a bun or top knot. Purchase a mild shampoo with moisturizers. Look for a protein-rich conditioner. Check your hair products for alcohol. Take water and some hairspray, mix it in a spray bottle. Consider humectants or anti-humectants depending on your hair.


These shaker-like cards are slightly more difficult to make than other cards because you'll have to invest in a die cutting machine. You could also try to cut the shapes out manually but it is much more difficult to make them all exactly the same shape and size. Other materials include card stock, a paper cutter, a glue pen, craft glue, acetate, and filler material such as beads and sequins. All of these items can be purchased at a craft store.

These shoots will be young and solid, which is important for a healthy cutting. As the plants grow older, they become hollow, which can lead to rotting if cut.  Look for shoots that are healthy and green. These months are for the Northern Hemisphere. The crown of the plant is the spot where the stems join the root. Use a sharp knife to cut the shoot off, making sure the cut is about 10 centimetres (3.9 in) long.  If there are leaves near the bottom of the shoot, strip these away so that the bottom of the stem is clear. Make your cut above the actual root of the plant. Clay pots are the best to use because they drain easily and can breathe. Use a rich soil or a loam-based compost, filling it almost to the top.  A 12 cm (4.7 in) pot works well. Make sure the pot has drainage holes. The powder will prevent the roots from rotting and will help them grow to be a healthy, strong plant. You can find hormone rooting powder at a garden store or online. While it's not always necessary, you can wet the end of the stem before dipping it in the hormone rooting powder so that more powder sticks to it. Set the cutting into the soil so that the bottom of the cutting is covered by soil but the leaves are not. If you're taking several cuttings, space them around the pot so that they all have enough room.  If you took several different types of cuttings, remember which one is which by putting a label on a toothpick and sticking it in the soil next to the corresponding cutting. For a smaller sized pot, aim for about 3 cuttings to get them started. You can do this by placing them in a windowsill propagator or tying a plastic bag around the top of the pot, trapping air, heat, and moisture inside. Allow the cuttings to sit in plenty of sunlight to help their growing process. It's best to check the cutting daily at first, touching the soil to feel if it's dry or not. If it is dry, water the soil slowly to allow it to absorb adequately. How much water the cutting needs will depend on how much sunlight it gets, the specific variety,...

Choose new shoots near the base of the plant in March or April. Make the cut near the crown of the plant. Fill small clay pots with nutrient-rich soil. Dip the cutting in a hormone rooting powder. Place the cutting in the pot gently. Keep the cuttings in a warm, moist environment to allow them to grow. Water the cutting daily to ensure it doesn't dry out. Transplant the cuttings once the roots grow through the drainage holes.


These should be available at most grocery stores, but if you're having difficulty in your search, check specialty Asian markets. Look for a clear package with round, white spheres. Since the pearls are usually used for making food, it’s safe for small children to put them in their mouth as they’re playing. They’re normally unflavored, so children probably won’t have an adverse reaction if they eat them.

These should be readily available from your local nursery or garden center. Don't shy away from seeds – beetroot is notoriously easy to take care of. The "Boltardy" variety of beetroot is best if you're sowing early. White and golden varieties take about half as long to grow and don't bleed in salads (the downside being they don't have that beautiful carmine color). Apart from these things, the variety you choose will depend on the look and flavor that appeals to you most. Beetroot likes neutral, moist, fertile soil without too much lime or acidity (pH 6.5-7.0). The soil should be soft and not have too much clay or too much sand; however, since the root develops at the surface, a clay soil can be tolerated if the top has been loosened by the addition of lots of well-rotted organic matter (don't add this unless the soil has much clay). The position needs to be sunny and open but it will tolerate part shade. If you have the foresight in late autumn or early spring, it's a good idea to use a general granular fertiliser a few weeks before sowing and rake it into the soil to let the nutrients absorb. If you're dealing with the round variety (which you probably are – the long, cylindrical varieties are rarely grown), a pot can work just as well, so long as it's at least 20cm (8in) in diameter and at least 20cm (8in) deep. Fill the pot up to the top with loose, multi-purpose compost. The seeds should then be sown thinly across the surface and covered with 2cm (0.75in) of compost. Then, when the seedlings reach 2 cm (about an inch) in height, remove the weaker of the seedlings to give the vigorous plants room to grow – aim for about 12cm (5 inches) between seeds. Remove weeds and any other debris, as well as any stones that might impede root growth. The soil only needs tilling to one spade blade of depth. Roughly level the area and rake over the top to loosen.  If you have heavy soil, it's best prepared in late autumn. If it's lighter, aim for early spring. If you're planting in autumn, leave the top of the soil...

These should be the same sort of tomatoes you would purchase for normal fried tomatoes. Slice the tomatoes into evenly sized discs. Generally cutting them into thirds or fourths work best. In a large bowl, combine one cup of flour, one tablespoon of cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon of baking powder. You can also add any herbs you would like, as well as salt and pepper. Pour half a can of dark beer and a ½ cup of cold water into the dry mixture. Stir this mixture together. Dark beer such as a lager or an ale works best but if you only have lighter beers or ambers on hand, those should work fine as well. You should only pour about ½ an inch of oil into the skillet. The oil can either be vegetable oil or canola oil. Make sure the oil is fully heated by dropping a pinch of the batter into the oil. If it sizzles and immediately creates bubbles, the oil is perfectly heated. Make sure to coat both sides of the tomatoes evenly. Because the batter will be relatively thin and slippery, you will need to dip the tomatoes in and make sure they are coated really well. You will then need to transfer them immediately to the frying pan to ensure that none of the batter drips off. You should fry them for about three minutes or until they are golden brown. Place them on a plate or pan that has been covered in paper towels. This will ensure that the excess oil drains off and the tomatoes become extra crispy. Note that these are awesome when served with a dipping sauce like Ranch or marinara.

These should form the bulk of your critique and should be a minimum of three paragraphs. You can choose to organize your critique differently depending on how you want to approach your critique. However, you should devote a paragraph to each main topic, using the rest of the steps in this section to develop each paragraph's discussion.  If you have three clear points about your work, you can organize each paragraph by point. For example, if you are analyzing a painting, you might critique the painter’s use of color, light, and composition, devoting a paragraph to each topic. If you have more than three points about your work, you can organize each paragraph thematically. For example, if you are critiquing a movie and want to talk about its treatment of women, its screenwriting, its pacing, its use of color and framing, and its acting, you might think about the broader categories that these points fall into, such as “production” (pacing, color and framing, screenwriting), “social commentary” (treatment of women), and “performance” (acting). Alternatively, you could organize your critique by “strengths” and “weaknesses.” The aim of a critique is not merely to criticize, but to point out what the creator or author has done well and what s/he has not. This is particularly important when evaluating creative works, such as literature, art, and music. Offer your evaluation of how effectively the creator uses the techniques or stylistic choices s/he has made to promote her/his purpose.  For example, if you are critiquing a song, you could consider how the beat or tone of the music supports or detracts from the lyrics. For a research article or a media item, you may want to consider questions such as how the data was gathered in an experiment, or what method a journalist used to discover information. This may be more useful in a critique of a media item or research article. Consider how the author of the work uses other sources, their own evidence, and logic in their arguments.  Does the author use primary sources...

These sounds are usually caused by juices and gasses moving around the stomach and intestine. It's not your stomach telling you it's time to eat. The reason the sound is associated with hunger is that it's louder when the stomach and intestines are empty. If you have food in your stomach, it muffles the noise of this activity.  A growling stomach is not the same as hunger pangs, which start 12-24 hours after your last meal. Some people have more gas than others. Reasons that people have gas include poor nutrition, food intolerance, pregnancy, and genetics. Feelings of hunger might not be caused by an empty stomach. Hunger can occur for reasons of both physiological and psychological desire for satisfaction. Hunger pangs have been shown to continue even after a stomach has been removed. The hypothalamus, or brainstem, regulates feelings of hunger, not the stomach.  Knowing more about the causes of hunger might help you ignore it when it arises. If you feel hungry, consider what emotional needs you might address instead of eating something to feel better. Many people associate food with safety and comfort. They're more likely to feel hungry when they're feeling anxious, worried or fearful. People who eat for emotional reasons might find themselves in a cycle of overeating followed by severe dieting, and they may have a hard time with weight control.  Many emotional eaters suffer from low self-esteem. They may benefit from counseling, cognitive behavior therapy or other therapeutic supports. It might not be easy to recognize the difference between emotional sources of hunger and physiological sources of hunger. If you're someone who has a hard time discerning this difference, consider following a scheduled eating program. That way, you can know that you're getting your food needs met and may be better able to address your emotional needs. Sleep helps you keep a balance of the hormones that make you feel hungry (ghrelin) or full (leptin). Without enough sleep, you'll produce more ghrelin. Your level of leptin...

These specialized preformed splints are used in trigger finger cases when the joint that is closest to the tip of the finger (called the distal interphalangeal joint [DIP]) is damaged or cannot straighten by itself.  Stack splints (one common brand is known as Stax splints) come in various sizes.  They are designed to fit over the DIP joint in order to prevent it from bending, while still allowing bending of the joint at the midpoint of the finger (the proximal interphalangeal joint [PIP]). Stack splints are usually made from plastic with holes for ventilation. They can be found in pharmacies or grocery stores and you can try to fit them there before purchase. Please note (once more):  Despite their availability and relative convenience, it is always best to consult your physician before using stack splints to address trigger finger or another condition (such as mallet finger). To do so, straighten the affected finger while supporting it with the other hand. Slowly slide the stack splint onto the affected finger until it completely fits. Make sure to check that the stack splint fits completely and the finger is really straight. If the finger is slightly bent either forward or backwards, it can lead to the development of sores at the knuckle. If the stack splint has a built in adjustable strap, you can use that to secure it in place without taping. Using scissors, cut a ten inch (25 cm) length of medical tape.  Wrap it firmly around the finger and splint beyond the first knuckle. Some stack splints have built-in adjustable straps, so taping is not necessary. For just a couple of seconds, pinch the nail of your trigger finger. This will cut off the blood flow and turn it white. Then let go. If the nail becomes pink within one to two seconds, then it has good blood circulation and your splint is on correctly. If it takes more than two seconds for the blood to return to the area, your splint is on too tight. Your finger needs adequate blood flow to heal. Remove and reapply the splint, adjusting for tightness....
