survey, question, read, recite, and review. This is called SQ3R or SQRR and is a study method that involves active reading which helps with comprehension and learning the material. The method gets you to preview the material and actively read so you are more prepared when you read a chapter or article.  Start with Survey, which means to glance through the chapter to look for tables, figures, headings, and any bold words. Then Question by making each heading into a question.  Read the chapter while trying to answer the questions you made from the section headings.  Recite the answers to the questions verbally and any important information you remember from the chapter.  Review the chapter to make sure you include all the main ideas. Then think about why this is important. When you are beginning to study a new chapter, it will make the information it contains much more meaningful and easier to learn if you preview the chapter using THIEVES.  Start with the title. What does the title tell you about the selection/article/chapter? What do you already know about the topic? What should you think about while reading? This will help you frame your reading. Scan the "headings" and subheadings. What do these headings and subheadings tell you about what you will be reading? Turn each heading and subheading into a question to help guide your reading. Move to the introduction. What does the introduction tell you about the reading? Read the first sentence of every paragraph. These are generally topic sentences and help you think about what the paragraphs will be about. Look at the visuals and vocabulary. This includes tables, graphs, and charts. More importantly, look at the bolded, italicized, and underlined words, words or paragraphs of a different color, and numerical lists. Read the end of chapter questions. What concepts should you know by the time you finish reading the chapter? Keep these questions in mind as you read. Look at the chapter summary to get a good idea of what the chapter is about before going on to read...

ter. Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil by placing it on a hot stove. Though the exact amount of water necessary will depend on how much glue is present, boil at least 1 cup (240 mL) of water for every 1 inch (2.5 cm) of residue.  Boiling water can burn the skin, so handle your pot with care. If your pot does not have external handles, use oven mitts or a thick towel when grabbing it. Instead of pouring your water directly on the floor, lay a fresh towel over the area you intend to clean. Make sure it is as flat and straight as possible. This will allow the glue residue to heat up and absorb moisture more evenly. If necessary, use multiple towels to cover the whole area. Though this process will not stain your towel, you may need to clean it after to remove glue residue. Carefully pour the boiling water over your towel, spreading it out evenly. Let it sit for about 2 minutes. When the area is warm, remove the towel. While the area is still hot, use a long-handled scraper to remove glue residue. With the trailing edge up, place your scraper in front of the patch and push it vigorously to scrape away residue. If the glue cools and hardens, boil more water and repeat the process.

that is wide enough for the person who will wear the dress. The length of your chain is dependent upon the person who will wear the dress. You will be making the top part of the dress in 2 parts (front and back pieces), so measure for the front of the dress first. Use a t-shirt in the size that the person wears to determine how wide the chain will need to be. Make the chain long enough to go across the chest area of the t-shirt, just below the armpits. To crochet a chain, first make a slipknot. Loop the yarn around your fingers twice and pull the first loop through the second loop. Then, slide the slipknot onto your hook, and tighten it by tugging on the tail until it is snug around the hook. Then, loop your yarn over your hook and pull the yarn through the slipknot. This is your first chain. Keep yarning over and pulling through one to make more chains. After you have finished your chain, start by double crocheting into the first chain from the hook. Chain 1 to provide some slack and then double crochet 1 time into the chain.  To double crochet, loop the yarn over the hook, and then insert the hook into the chain. Yarn over the hook again and pull through the stitch. Then, yarn over again and pull through 2 stitches. Yarn over 1 more time and pull through the last 2 stitches on the hook. This completes 1 double crochet stitch. Continue to double crochet into each stitch in the chain until you reach the end of the chain. This will serve as your foundation row. After you complete the first row, chain 1 and then double crochet across the next row. Continue to work each row in the double crochet stitch until the front piece is the length you want it to be. You can make it just long enough to cover the chest, or you can make it long enough to cover the entire abdomen from chest to waist. After you are satisfied with the length of the front piece, you will need to add the straps. Double crochet the first 7 stitches at the beginning of the row. Then, chain 1, turn your work, and double crochet across the 7...

that work well in a texting format. These should be jokes that are short and don’t need to be told in person. If you can, try to make jokes that incorporate things that are uniquely available to texts, such as emoticons or gifs. An example of a joke that works well over text would be: “Where do cows like to go on dates? To the moo-vies.” People tend to enjoy talking about themselves, so be willing to ask her questions about her so that the conversation is enjoyable for her. However, if you focus too much on this type of question-asking, she may start to feel like you’re interrogating her. Be willing to talk about other things too!  For example, if you’ve been talking a lot about her for the last few text messages, try changing the conversation to one of your shared interests and talk about that for a while. Feel free to talk about yourself too! As much as she’ll enjoy talking about herself, she’ll also appreciate being able to learn more about you. If you’re interested in seeing this girl romantically and you think she may want to date you as well, you should move the conversation towards the goal of scheduling a date. In the meantime, do some light flirting to pique her interest and make her feel excited.  For example, if she says something about her hair, tell her how pretty you think her hair is. Choose opportune times to flirt. For instance, say something flirty when the conversation is on a casual topic, but not when you’re discussing something more serious. Avoid overwhelming her with lots of texts or lots of information; this will make her less likely to be entertained by the conversation. Instead, send relatively short texts that she doesn’t have to spend a lot of time reading. Don’t send more than 1-2 texts at a time. At the same time, don’t be terse just for the sake of it. Feel free to send a more lengthy text when it’s appropriate (e.g., if she asks you a detailed question), but stick to shorter texts the rest of the time.

that your rabbit can enter or leave at will. This doesn't mean that you have to leave the hutch open all the time. However, when the hutch is open, the rabbit should be able to go in and out without you having to pick it up. Look for a hutch with a door in front instead of (or in addition to) a hinged or removable top. This will allow your rabbit to hop in and out comfortably without your assistance. If your rabbit lives in cramped conditions, it will feel stressed and trapped. Select a hutch where your rabbit can stretch out in all directions and stand up on its hind legs without its ears touching the top.  At minimum, your rabbit should be able to take 3 hops from one end of the enclosure to the other. Ideally, the hutch should be either permanently attached to a larger exercise run or placed in a room where the rabbit can go out and explore safely at any time. This could be something as simple as a cardboard box or a paper bag that your rabbit can retreat into. If your rabbit has no place to hide out when it's feeling scared, tired, or insecure, it will begin to feel stressed out and frightened all the time. If you have more than one rabbit, you should have at least one hiding place per rabbit. Your rabbit will feel safest in an area that is quiet, well-ventilated, and neither too hot nor too cold. Keep your rabbit in a place where it will not be disturbed by other pets, loud noises, or lots of foot traffic.  Your rabbit should be able to eat, drink, sleep, play, and explore without feeling like it is in danger from potential predators. Ideally, at least one side of the hutch or cage should face a wall. That way, your rabbit won't feel like it always has to watch its back.

the "main drain" of an in ground pool can do this using the pool pump, draining from the bottom using the pump "Waste", main control handle setting. Or, it works to setup a vacuum hose as if vacuuming using the skimmer suction so that the pump draws water from below the skimmer level. The water should be lowered below the skimmer and below the water returns according to the type of pool cover you're using.  If you're using a mesh cover, lower the water 12 to 18 inches (30.5 to 45.7 cm) below the skimmer. If you're using a solid, floating cover, lower the water to 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm) below the skimmer. All pumps, filters, heaters and chlorinators need to be drained of water before the winter. Remove the skimmer basket(s) and return eyeball(s). (If water were to freeze inside the equipment, it could damage or ruin it.) Open the drains on each piece of equipment to release the water inside. Store the filter elements in a dry place inside for the winter. If it is a DE filter the filter elements can be removed and replaced one by one. The excess DE settled in the bottom may need to be removed by hand -- or there may be a drain plug on the filter, near the bottom.  Or, if it is a sand filter, the sand may need to be cleaned manually and may need to be replaced if it is not cleanable. If the filters cannot be removed, blow carefully with a shop vacuum to help remove the remaining water out of them. An air compressor might build up excessive pressure in the system or damage the system otherwise. The lines running/returning water into your pool need to be dried out so they don't freeze and crack over the winter.   Use a shop vacuum to blow air into the skimmer outlet pipe, through the equipment and back into the pool. If you have more than one skimmer this should be done one by one. Use expansion plugs to plug the lines at the returns and in the skimmer; so water doesn't enter them. Or, if you don't blow out the lines, you can add swimming pool antifreeze (not automotive) to them to prevent remaining water...

the entire mane down to establish its length and thickness. Use a standard mane/tail brush or comb to work through the mane hair. Brush it downward on each side so you get a clear idea of how long and thick the mane is, and how much you need to thin it out. For show purposes, and especially for braiding, you’ll typically want a thinned-out mane that’s about 4–5 in (10–13 cm) long on each side. You can start at the withers (shoulder) or poll (head), or anywhere in between. Use your left hand to grasp a tuft of hair that’s about 1 in (2.5 cm) in diameter, then squeeze it flat between your thumb and fingers.  Working methodically in small sections is the best way to pull a mane. If you try to speed things up by grabbing large tufts of hair, you’ll bother and possibly agitate the horse. If you grab any larger chunk of hair, you will not be able to pull it out with the special comb. If you’re left handed, use your right hand to grasp the tuft of hair. Use your opposite hand for the instructions that follow as well (for instance, use the pulling comb in your left instead of right hand). As you slide your fingers down the tuft of hair, the shorter hairs will slip out of your grasp. Stop sliding down when the hairs that are at the desired length—typically 4–5 in (10–13 cm) long—have just slipped free. Some groomers use the width of their hand as a length guide, or the length of the pulling comb—both are roughly 4 in (10 cm) long. While maintaining the grip on the longest hairs with your left hand, use the comb in your right hand to brush the shorter hairs up and out of the way. This way, you’ll get a clear view of the hairs you want to pull. Alternatively, you can just use your right hand to sweep the shorter hairs out of the way.

the fish’s body to keep it from moving as you handle it. Fish are stronger than they look, so watch out! Keep a firm grip on the fish’s body, right behind its head. In addition to that thrashing tail, look out for the fins, since they can cut you if you’re not careful. Hold the fish horizontally, keeping it in or close to the water to avoid harming it. If you caught a big lunker, use both hands to support it. Place one hand around its body near the head, then place your other hand underneath the fish before its tail. This part may seem tricky at first, but it’s not too tough as long as you have a good hold on the fish. Latch the pliers onto the hook poking out of the fish’s mouth. Push it back toward the fish to unhook it. Then, slide it back out of the fish’s mouth, turning it as needed to avoid poking the fish.  You could use the pliers to crush the hook’s barb, making it easier to remove. Some experienced fishers even do this before casting. If the hook is stuck, work very patiently. Try reaching into the fish’s mouth with your fingers or pliers. Keep the fish in the water, crush the barb if needed, and then twist and pull the hook without wiggling it out. More and more fishers put their catches back into the water to protect the ecosystem. Since fish can’t breathe when out of the water, keep your catches in the water as much as possible. If you have to take the fish out, put it back in right away. Keep the fish wet and handle it gently to avoid stressing it out. One of the problems with taking a fish out of water is the stress. The fish may already be worn out from the struggle with your hook. Taking it out of the water and handling it a lot makes it more likely to die even after you put it back. Most fishing holes have state or federal laws meant to protect the ecosystem. These rules often include limits on how many fish you are allowed to take home as well as what size they have to be. Take ahold of the fish by grasping firmly behind its head. Use your other hand to carefully stretch a tape measure...

the light base color. Suggested colors are blonde, white, or an unusual pastel color (pink, green, blue). Keep in mind that your border and fill dyes made need to be applied to wet or damp hair. (See specific dyes/dye boxes for instruction.) Make sure to coat the celery end evenly. Avoid too much dye as you do not want it to drip on your hair right as you go to press it to your head.    You can space them however you like but remember to not have each spot facing the same way. It looks more realistic when the ‘C’ spots that the celery creates face different ways as they would on a real leopard.    Simply wipe away any extra border dye. Stamp or paint in the center of the spot until it is completely filled. See dye box for any specific post-dyeing instructions.

the liver strips for 3 minutes. Lower the coated liver strips into the skillet and stir the liver strips constantly so they turn golden brown on the outside. Keep in mind that they won't be cooked completely. Shake the excess flour off of the liver strips before you add them to the skillet. This will prevent them from becoming soggy as they cook. Turn off the burner and stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons (5.5 g) of minced parsley. Serve the liver immediately with your choice of sides. For example, spoon the stir fry over rice, cooked potatoes, or boiled noodles. Refrigerate leftover liver and onions in an airtight container for up to 3 or 4 days.

the low E string at the fifth fret. The low E string, also called the sixth string, is the lowest and thickest string on your guitar. If you're holding your guitar in playing position and looking down, it will be the top string closest to you.  The note at the fifth fret of the low E is the same as the open A string, the next string over from the low E. For this method, it isn't necessary to first tune your low E string. Even though your instrument may not be to concert pitch or absolute pitch, the strings will be tuned to each other. Anything you play will "sound right," as long as you're playing by yourself and not with another instrument tuned to concert pitch. Listen to the sound coming from the low E string, then play the open A string. Tune the open A string up or down until it matches the sound coming from the low E string. If the open A string is higher than the A you play at the fifth fret of the low E string, tune it down and then bring it back up. Once you have the A in tune, fret it at the fifth fret and pluck it. This is a D. Pluck the open D string, and tune the it up or down to match. When the D string is in tune, fret it at the fifth fret to play a G. Pluck the open G string and compare. Tune it up or down to match the sound. The process changes somewhat for the B string, because there is a shorter interval between G and B. Fret the G string at the fourth fret to play a B. Pluck the open B string and compare the sounds. Tune the open B string up or down until it matches the sound produced on the G string. Once you have the B string in tune, fret it at the fifth fret and pluck to play a high E. Tune the open high E string up or down to match the sound coming from the B string. If the open high E string is higher in pitch than the high E played on the B string, tune it down and then bring it up to pitch slowly and gradually. The high E string has a lot of tension and will snap easily. If you're getting ready to play a particular song, you may want to check your tuning with chords from that song...

the night before waxing. Gently exfoliating before a wax can help prevent ingrown hairs and folliculitis. The day before you go in for a wax, wash your face with a mild facial exfoliant. Don’t scrub hard – just gently massage your face with your fingertips or a clean washcloth, using circular movements. Re-using waxing applicators, or failing to properly sanitize waxing equipment, can spread bacteria, fungal infections, and even viruses that can cause rashes. Always wash your hands and face before waxing, and never double-dip a waxing applicator. If you get waxed at a salon, make sure the technician wears gloves and uses sterile, properly stored equipment. Using an ice pack or cold compress on the waxed area for 15-20 minutes immediately after you wax can help soothe your skin. Cooling your skin will also close up your pores and follicles, and prevent bacteria from getting in. An aloe-based after-wax cooling gel can also soothe irritated skin and help prevent bumps and breakouts. Although it is tempting to feel your smooth, freshly-waxed skin, too much touching can irritate the skin and introduce bacteria. Don’t touch your skin more than you have to (e.g., for washing or applying moisturizers) until it has had a couple of days to heal. Before and after waxing, use a gentle moisturizer that is free from dyes, perfumes, and oils. These ingredients can irritate your skin and clog your pores. Use a gentle moisturizer like aloe or witch hazel instead. Excessive sweating can clog your pores, irritate your skin, and contribute to breakouts. If you need to work out, do so well before you wax, or wait until your skin has had several days to heal after waxing. If waxing regularly causes you to develop a rash or break out, you may need to consider a different hair-removal method. Try a depilatory or hair-removal cream designed to be safe for your face, or get a consultation to find out if you are a good candidate for laser hair removal.  Laser hair removal is not a good option for shaping your eyebrows. Use a hair...

the night before. Wipe down the dining table, kitchen counters, and cooking area. Set the table nicely with placemats, plates, silverware, and cups.  For easy access while cooking, make a list of all the ingredients you need and place them near the front of the fridge and pantry. For an extra special touch, put a vase of fresh flowers on the table as a centerpiece. If possible, get up 30 minutes to an hour before your mother so you can have breakfast ready. If you don’t know when your mother will wake up, make sure any kitchen prep is done so you can cook her meal quickly once she rises. Along with the main course, prepare some coffee or juice for your mother to drink with her meal. To make the day extra special, purchase her favorite sparkling juice or fancy coffee. For coffee, pour it into her favorite mug or a mug you purchased as a gift. If at all possible, sit down and share the meal with your mom. In the end, the dish itself won’t matter. The eggs could be burnt, the pancakes could be hard, and the french toast could be soggy. What matters is the love you showed your mother and the time and effort you put into making her day special. Mother’s Day should be a complete day off for mom, so make sure to put away her dishes and clean up the kitchen once you’re done. Even if she tries to help, make sure she sits down and lets you handle it.

the novella. You can outline for the novel by using a plot diagram, which consists of five sections: exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. You can also use a three act structure, where there is a set up, a conflict, and a resolution. Another way you can outline the novella is by using the snowflake method. This method consists of four sections: a one sentence summary, a one paragraph summary, a synopsis of characters, and a spreadsheet of scenes. Surprise your reader in the first few lines of your novella. Engage them with a startling image or interesting language. Try to sum up the main conflict or issue of the novella in the first few lines so the reader is aware of the set up. For example, Kafka’s novella The Metamorphosis opens with the line: “When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.” Do not clutter the novella with multiple conflicts or issues. Focus on just one conflict and explore it in detail. The conflict should put pressure on the main character and force them to make a big decision or choice. For example, in Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, the main character, Gregor Samsa, is in a conflict where he has to deal with daily existence as a bug, when he does not want to be a bug and would prefer to be human. Having too many subplots and minor characters can cause you to lose focus when you are writing a novella. They can also make the novella too long and wordy. Try to stick to a maximum of one subplot and one to two minor characters in the novella. For example, in the novella Beside the Sea by Veronique Olmi, there are only three characters total in the story, a mother and her two children. Focus on a set number of days, weeks, or months in the novella. Keep the time shifts to a minimum in the novella so the reader gets a slice of the main character’s life. For example, in Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, the novella focuses on the events of one day in Gregor Samsa’s life. A good...

the piece. Read the piece aloud several times. Then, try to repeat it aloud without looking at the written words, working line by line or section by section. It may take several days for you to memorize the piece in its entirety so be patient and take your time. You may find it helpful to ask a friend or family member to test you when you have memorized the piece to ensure you can repeat every word by heart. Project your voice when you perform. Make sure you enunciate words or phrases that are important in the piece. You can also raise or lower your voice using a consistent pattern or rhythm when you perform. Try speaking in different registers to give the piece variety and flow. A good rule of thumb is to say the gateway line or a key phrase louder than other words every time you repeat it. This can help you find a sense of rhythm and flow. Maintain eye contact with the audience when you perform the poem, rather than looking down or at a piece of paper. Use your mouth and face to communicate any emotions or thoughts expressed in the poem. Make facial gestures like a look of surprise when you describe a realization, or a look of anger when you talk about an injustice or troubling moment.  You can also use your hands to help you express yourself. Make hand gestures to the audience to keep them engaged. Keep in mind the audience will not really be paying attention your lower body or your legs, so you have to rely on your face, arms, and upper body in your performance. Use a mirror to get a sense of your facial expressions and your hand gestures. Maintain eye contact in the mirror and project your voice so you appear confident to the audience. Once you feel comfortable performing to the mirror, you may decide to perform for friends or family. You can also perform the spoken word piece at a poetry slam or an open mic night once you feel it is ready to share with others.

the pomegranate. At the top and bottom of the pomegranate, the rind thickens and can be cut away. Remove the rind until you see the red seeds inside the pomegranate. Then cut the pomegranate into wedges.  Pomegranate juice is bright red. It tends to stain things, so be careful when handling it. You may want to wear an apron and gloves while doing this. Clean juice that’s gotten onto counters and other kitchen surfaces immediately with soapy water to prevent stains from forming. Take a large bowl and fill it with water. Your bowl should be large enough to accommodate all of the pomegranate wedges. Put the wedges into the water. Remove any large pieces of rind that float free. The rind of the pomegranate floats in water, but seeds sink to the bottom. Use your clean hands to knock seeds from the rind into the bottom of the bowl. Pick rind out of the water. Do this until all rind has been removed. in a blender. Drain the water from your bowl of seeds. Transfer your seeds to a blender. Close the blender and pulse it no more than a few times. Blending the seeds for too long will cause your juice to become cloudy. Position a fine mesh strainer over an airtight container. Pour your seeds from your blender through the mesh strainer and into the airtight container. After the juice has drained, use a wooden spoon to press the pulp into the mesh to release juice trapped inside the pulp. Refrigerated, your juice should stay good for several days. Add your juice to seltzer water for a refreshing drink. Drizzle some pomegranate juice on spring salads to add a refreshing tartness to them.

the volleyball to yourself. In volleyball, a bump or forearm pass is when you pass the ball to another player. In this case, pass the ball to yourself. Toss the ball up slightly. Then as it comes down, get into your passing position and bounce the ball off your forearms so it goes back up. Then get back into position and pass it back up.  Think of this activity like juggling. Keep the ball up as long as you can by passing it to yourself. This drill will improve your passing form, strength, and reaction time. to yourself. A set, sometimes called an overhead pass, sends the ball straight up in the air for another player to spike. Rather than hitting the ball with your forearms, place both hands above your head and hit the ball straight up with your fingers. Toss the ball up lightly and set the ball when it comes down.  Do the same exercise and keep the ball up for as long as you can with sets. Start by hitting the ball straight up. Then pass it more off to the side so you have to run to pass it again. This is a physical workout as well as a passing drill. Once you’ve gotten good at both types of passes, combine them for an advanced practice routine. Toss the ball up and pick a passing type to start with. Then switch between each pass type, keeping the ball up for as long as possible.  Start by alternating the passing type each time the ball comes down. Then start switching at random times. For example, do 3 forearm passes, then 1 overhead pass. This keeps your body guessing and improves your reaction time. Gradually pass the ball further distances. Practice covering long distances quickly to improve your performance in the game. After you’ve gotten good at passing to yourself, work on your accuracy. Pick a specific object or point. Then toss the ball up and pass it towards that point. Get as close as possible to improve your accuracy.  Use both passing types for this exercise to improve your overall accuracy. Get creative with the targets you choose.

this is a failure-to-fire (FTF) malfunction. You pull the trigger and you get a "click" instead of a "boom." This is the simplest type of malfunction, the most common type, and the easiest to fix: just tap, rack/flip. a failure-to-eject is a common problem on older 1911s and other guns with shorter ejectors. This type of malfunction is affectionately known as a "stovepipe." The symptom of this malfunction is a "dead trigger" (no click, just a little bit of movement), and most likely some brass sticking out of your ejection port (but not necessarily), and the slide is not completely in battery (all the way forward). Fix it using the same method at a Type-1 malfunction: tap, rack/flip. this is known as "the Mother Of All Malfunctions" (MOAM) by some. This is a feed-way stoppage, which means that too much brass is in the chamber at the same time.  If you do get a type-3 malfunction under fire, many pistol masters will tell you just to grab for your back-up. Of course, if that is not an option you should find cover before executing the clearing. To clear: grab your slide and lock it back (this is optional on many handguns). Press the magazine eject, grab the magazine and throw it to the ground ("strip" it). Grab the slide again and rack it hard three times. Reach for a fresh magazine, put it in the gun (same as the tactical reload) and rack the slide one more time to load a round into the chamber. You can also learn to keep the magazine you have in your gun, read this. this is pretty uncommon, and if it ever happens to you when you are practicing with your gun at the range, throw the gun away and get a different model! This malfunction is when the slide does not go back into battery after firing. This might happen because your guide rod or guide rails are really gummed up (to the point where it looks as if there is a wad of Juicy Fruit in there), your guide spring is too weak or your chamber design is bad. Either way, modern semi-automatic pistols should never have this happen. A gunsmith (or you) may be able to...

Stir it in and add up to one more tablespoon of the coffee mixture into the batter; save the rest for later. Drop the walnuts into the batter as well, making sure they are in half before you put them in. Level and even out the top and place it in the oven for 40 minutes. You can tell if it's correctly baked or not by inserting a toothpick or a skewer in the cake& it comes out clean and dry. Remove the cake from the oven and set it aside for cooling. Pour in the leftover coffee mixture, but stop pouring when you see the color and flavor that you want. Add a little more icing sugar if the mixture seems too soft. Do this by dividing the cake horizontally. Frost each layer before placing another layer on.

to 400 °F (204 °C). Once you’ve placed the pan inside of the oven, turn the oven to 400 °F (204 °C). Give the oven about 10-15 minutes to reach the correct heat. If you have a thermometer on your oven, you can use that to monitor the temp so you’ll know when the oven is ready.  Preheating the oven will give you more consistent results while you’re cooking, since the temperature will already be stabilized when you add the food. By preheating the baking pan along with the oven, you’ll get a nice sear on the outside of the sausages.

to 425ºF. While the oven is heating, grease an 8-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. If you don’t have an 8-inch pan, you can also use a 9x1-1/2-inch round baking pan, or 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Make sure to grease the bottom and sides of whatever pan you choose to use. Instead of greasing the pan, you can also add a tablespoon of butter to whatever pan you are using and stick the pan in the preheated oven for about three minutes. When the butter is melted, take it out of the oven and swirl it around. Using a hot pan helps to make the edges of the cornbread crispy and the butter serves to increase the flavor of the cornbread. Add the cornmeal to the bowl along with the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix all of these ingredients together so that the texture is even and smooth throughout. You can vary the amount of sugar you add to your recipe. Some people like sweeter cornbread, while others like to skip over the sugar entirely. Crack two large eggs into a medium bowl. Use a fork to beat them until they are smooth. Add the buttermilk to the eggs. In a separate container, melt six tablespoons of butter. When the butter is melted, add it to the egg and buttermilk mixture and whisk all of these ingredients together. If you do not have any buttermilk, you can instead combine two eggs with one cup of milk and 1/4 a cup of melted butter or cooking oil. Stir this all together. You can add the buttermilk mixture to the cornmeal mixture all at once. Use a spatula to get any lingering drips of buttermilk into the bowl. Fold the ingredients together until there are no more dry spots. In particular, make sure there are no pockets of cornmeal left at the bottom of the mixture. Don’t try to get out all of the lumps however--the batter should be lumpy. Over mixing the batter can actually lead to a tough texture so stop stirring as soon as all of the dry spots have been removed.

to avoid spreading more bacteria. Run your hands under warm water, then scrub them well with hand soap. Make sure to get between your fingers and up above your wrists, washing for at least 20 seconds. Dry them off with a clean towel afterwards. Washing your hands thoroughly will prevent you from getting the earrings even dirtier before you start cleaning them. Hydrogen peroxide is great for killing bacteria and returning the shine to your earrings. To use it, place a cotton ball, swab, or pad over the opening of your hydrogen peroxide bottle. Then, tip the bottle over to saturate the ball. Make sure to get the cotton ball into any nooks, crannies, or corners of the earring. Spend a couple of minutes on each earring, adding more hydrogen peroxide if needed, then rinse them in a bowl of water. Cotton can get caught on some earrings, leaving behind annoying strands of fiber. To avoid this, or to simply get a more thorough clean, let your earrings soak in a small cup of hydrogen peroxide for 5-10 minutes. Rinse them clean in a bowl of water afterwards. When you’re done cleaning your earrings, set them on a clean cloth to dry. Touch them a few times to test whether they’re dry, then put them away or wear them when they’re ready.

to catch her eye. Anytime you’re around the object of your interest, carry yourself in a way that reflects how you wish to be seen. Stand up straight, move with purpose, and speak in a calm, relaxed (yet assertive) tone of voice. A self-assured demeanor will send the message that you’ve got something going for you.  Confidence isn’t the same thing as cockiness. For many people, arrogance is even more off-putting than a lack of self-esteem.  Another positive side effect of confidence is that it makes you more resilient. If it turns out that she’s just not into you, a confident attitude will allow you to rebound and move on without feeling bad about yourself. Like it or not, physical appearance counts for a lot, especially when you don’t know someone very well. Start working out regularly and watching what you eat, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Spending a little extra time putting yourself together before going out could also improve your chances of catching her eye.  It’s crucial to keep up with your basic personal hygiene, as well—shower daily, brush your teeth, style your hair, and don’t forget to wear deodorant, particularly if you’ve been hitting the gym.  Your smile is one of the best weapons you have in your social toolbox. Don’t be afraid to use it. Being a good conversationalist is just as much about being a good listener as it is about having lots of funny or interesting things to say. Keep the discussion centered around her as much as possible to make her feel special. When it’s your turn to talk, say what you have to say, then look for a way to put the spotlight back on her.  Don’t feel like you have to agree with everything she says. In fact, disagreeing tactfully can be a good way to show her that you have a mind of her own and elevate the conversation to the next level.  Forget rehearsing imaginary conversations with the girl you’re trying to impress. A better approach is to stay relaxed and allow yourself to be spontaneous. That way, you’ll be ready for whatever twists and turns...

to cut the base of the coffin out of plywood. Trace the base template onto a 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) 4 ft × 8 ft (1.2 m × 2.4 m) sheet of plywood. Clamp the plywood to a pair of sawhorses or a flat workbench so the cut lines are hanging off the edge and cut out the base of the coffin. Make sure you are using the smaller of the 2 outline templates you made for the base or the sides won’t fit properly around it. Cut a 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) 4 ft × 8 ft (1.2 m × 2.4 m) sheet of plywood into 4 1 ft (0.30 m)-wide strips. Trace the side templates you made onto the strips and cut the 6 sides to the right lengths using a circular saw.  You can get the plywood pre-cut into 4 strips at a home improvement store if you want to save time. Keep in mind that you need to mark the short and long sides of the coffin twice. Use the first outline template you made to trace the outline of the lid onto a 4 ft × 8 ft (1.2 m × 2.4 m) sheet of plywood. Clamp the plywood to a flat workbench or sawhorses so the cut lines are hanging off the edge and use your circular saw to cut out the outline of the lid. You don’t have to cut out a lid if you want to make an open coffin as a decoration or prop. If you are planning to use it for burial, you need a lid. the ends of the side pieces at the right angles so they fit together. Miter-cut the top of the coffin and the 2 short sides that connect to it at 53-degree angles. Cut the short sides where they connect to the long sides at 76-degree angles and the long sides where they meet at 80-degree angles. Miter the bottoms of the long sides and the bottom piece at 49-degree angles.  You can either use a power miter saw or set the blade to different angles on your circular saw to make the cuts. If you use your circular saw, you will need to clamp the pieces to a flat work surface with the cut lines hanging off. If you use a power miter saw, you can secure the pieces in the built-in miter box to make the cuts. Even if you adjusted the measurements of the coffin, use these angles for the mitered cuts.

to determine what size frames you need. Visit an optometrist or a glasses store and ask them to measure your face. The optometrist or employee will accurately find the length you need for the lenses, nose bridge, and arms for your glasses in millimeters.  For example, your eyeglass measurement may look like 55-18-140, where 55 mm is the lens width, 18 mm is the bridge width, and 140 mm is the length of each arm. If you already have a pair of glasses that fit well, look for 3 numbers on one of the arms to find their size. Some apps for buying glasses may have a measurement tool that uses your phone camera estimate the perfect fit for you. Grips strips are rubber pieces wrapped around the frames that increase the amount of friction so they’re less likely to slip. Look for frames in your size that have rubber pieces on the end and try them on so you can see how they feel on your head.  If your frames are too tight, you may start to feel more uncomfortable the longer you wear them. You can buy grip strips to add onto frames if you can’t find a pair that already has strips on them. Many glasses have nose pads attached to moveable metal pieces so you can make adjustments on the go. Look for frames in your size that have adjustable nose pads at your local glasses store or online. If the nose pads are too loose and don’t grip your nose bridge well, then squeeze them closer together so they hold on your face better. If the frames you like don’t have adjustable nose pads, you may be able to stick on adhesive nose pads to help keep your glasses up.

to ensure stability while you photograph. Taking free-hand photos can result in blurry images because of shaky hands. Mount your camera upside down between the tripod legs. Use a level on top of the camera to make sure the lens is parallel to the photo.   If purchasing a tripod, look for one where the center column can be reversed. This is how you can get that upside-down camera angle.   Set the tripod either on the ground or on a sturdy table. The goal is to minimize as much camera shake as possible. You can also use a large piece of paper. This provides a clean background for your photo. Avoid using dark wood or black paper underneath your photo—this can make the edges harder to see later when you crop images. Most digital cameras have good tools to combat poor lighting, but it is still a good idea to avoid photographing in a dark room. Using lamps, overhead lighting, or natural lighting will help you obtain the best quality photos.   Flash photography will give you captured image a glare. Turn on lamps or use natural light to brighten the room. A smaller aperture is good for a brighter room, while a larger aperture will help your camera capture more brightness in a dim room. This is same reason your pupils dilate when it starts to get dark—you want to get the most light in sight as possible.  A lot of times your digital camera will automate these settings for you, but don’t be afraid to manually change them to see the different results. You may be surprised at the quality difference from one aperture size to another! This is your “ISO,” and the minimal setting on most cameras is 100. This reduces the graininess of a photo. The higher the ISO, the brighter the image, so keeping it low will make more of your photos usable. The shutter speed is the length of time your camera shutter is open. The longer a shutter takes to capture an image, the blurrier it will be. Since you are taking pictures of still images, you don’t need to worry about opting for a longer shutter speed.  Try using a few different settings...

to fit the space. If you blind is too large for the window, you will need to cut it to fit the space. Remove the blind from the roller. Measure the amount of blind that you need to remove. Draw a line all the way up the blind’s fabric with a pencil. Cut vertically up the fabric. Reattach the fabric to the roller.  Measure the space one more time to verify the measurements before making any cuts to the blind. When securing the fabric back on the roller, it is important to make sure that the fabric is secured perfectly horizontally. If not, the fabric will not roll correctly on the roller. Wedge the blind into the brackets that you have already secured. Make sure that you are following the instructions that are provided with your roller blind to ensure proper installation. Secure the chain to the wall with the screws provided. Use a hand drill for best results. Some chains hang loosely beside of the blind. If this is the case, do not worry about securing the chain.

to freshen up your face. Schedule an appointment with your stylist early into the new year. You can get a trim for a subtle upgrade or go for a bold new hairstyle for a totally different look. This way, you’ll feel fresh for the year ahead.  For instance, if you have long, straight hair, consider chopping it to shoulder-length and adding some layers. If you have a short hairstyle, consider cutting the sides even shorter for a subtle change. For example, if you have a pixie cut, you can take it even shorter. Doing something new with your appearance can help you feel confident as you enter the new year. You can do things like rock a bold lip color, get a new facial piercing, or upgrade your current glasses style. Find what works for your style and budget, and go for something new! You can also dye your hair a bright color, go on a shopping spree for new clothing, or invest in a new pair of shoes. Think about your current health and your overall fitness goals, and make a plan to improve your health based on where you are. For instance, you can start taking a 20-minute walk after work every day, or you can train to run a marathon in the fall. Start simply and gradually so you can stick with your goals.  If you are new to exercise, you can find a gym in your area and start going 3 times a week. Walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes each time to get started. If you are a fitness enthusiast, make a goal to improve your BMI or get a six-pack by the end of the year, for instance.

to generate plot ideas. You need to write out your ideas before you can develop them into a complete story. Try freewriting everything that comes to mind, or list out your ideas. Don’t worry about making sense. Just try to uncover possible ideas for your story.  Brainstorm about your story idea, characters, setting, or scene ideas, depending on what comes to mind. You might make a mind map to develop your ideas in a visual manner. Your premise is the basic idea for the story. You might start with just a sentence, but keep developing it until you have a short blurb.  You might start with something like this: Two best friends are in a car accident, but only 1 girl is recovered from the car. Here’s an example blurb: Kait and her best friend Maria are thrilled when they’re invited to the party of the year. On their way home, however, Kait’s car slides on the wet road and crashes into a tree. When she wakes up in the hospital, Kait learns Maria wasn’t in the car. Now everyone believes Maria ran off with someone, but Kait knows her friend was with her on the night of the crash.

to help quiet your mind for at least a few minutes every day. Not only will meditation get you a clearer, more thoughtful, tuned-in mind, but it can help lower your cholesterol and blood pressure, too. Just 10-15 minutes each day can leave you feeling zoned and zenned for the next 24 hours.  If you're not the meditating type, other activities can substitute for this feeling. Take a walk in your favorite local park, or just sit on a bench and read. Grab a journal and spend some time writing down your thoughts. Anything that's a bit of "me-time" will do the trick. Do people playfully tease you and tell you to take a hike? Perhaps you should tease them back and actually do it.  Live in the moment by practicing such techniques as mindfulness and Zen driving. Contemplating the mysteries of science (the universe, quantum theory) can also be an intensely introspective experience. One way to shift focus (and be more observant, as mentioned above) is by keeping a journal. Commit to a daily writing practice and ask yourself questions like:   What did I feel? Why? What did I learn today? Who did I learn from? What ideas arrived? Who or what did I think about today? How was today different than yesterday? Than last week? Than last year?  What can I be grateful for? Who in our world seems lonely? Why? While there's no shame in asking for help, your quiet confidence will give you the strength to do it yourself, which in turn will make you more valuable to others. And when you do need to ask for help, your introspective nature will enable you to focus and to ask the right questions. When you can spend time alone with yourself doing quiet, thoughtful things, it’ll be easier to do the same in larger groups. And you’ll probably be surprised how much you enjoy it as well. You'll cultivate patience and nurture your inner world, as well as provide yourself with more conversation material when it's time to socialize. Try knitting, zen gardening or some other activity that doesn't require extraneous talking. Even just picking up a...

to help you choose flattering pieces. While everybody is different, most female bodies fall into 1 of the following body shape categories: pear, apple, straight, inverted triangle, or hourglass. Start by measuring around the fullest part of your chest, the smallest part of your waist, and the widest part of your hips. Then, rank your bust, hip, and waist measurements from largest to smallest.  If your bust and waist are smaller than your hips, you are a pear shape. If your bust is larger than your waist and hips, you’re an inverted triangle. If your bust, waist, and hips are about the same, you have a rectangle shape. If your waist is wider than your bust and hips, you're an apple shape. If your waist is smaller than your bust and hips, you have an hourglass shape. If you have an apple body shape, wear tops that highlight your bust and show off your shoulders. Try to avoid clingy materials around the waist area, and gravitate toward thin belts rather than thick ones. Solid colors tend to look better than busy patterns on apple bodies, but feel free to experiment!  You can also choose to emphasize shapely legs with tights and skirts. Keep in mind that these aren't hard and fast rules—there is plenty of room for experimentation. For rectangle body shapes, try form-fitting tops and  scooped necklines to give your body more curves. Skinny jeans and dresses that emphasize your waist are also great options.  Stay away from shapeless dresses, shoulder pads, and boxy tops and coats. Cinch loose clothes at the waist with your favorite belt so that your shape doesn't get lost in the fabric. If you’re an hourglass, go with tops, pants, and dresses that hug your curves and emphasize your waist. Avoid shapeless and baggy clothing.  Stay away from pieces with extra fabric at the hips or bust to keep your look proportionate. Avoid wearing ruffles or pleats around your waist or hips. Be sure to wear supportive undergarments that fit you well! For pears, try wearing tops in bright colors and prints to draw attention to your...

The lily is a common origami shape that requires a few advanced folds, so make sure you're comfortable with beginner shapes first.  You can attach your lily to a pipe cleaner stem or add paper leaves to make it look more realistic. Group a bunch of lilies together for a lovely centerpiece or even for a wedding bouquet. for an authentic Japanese blossom. There are many types of origami flowers you can fold, but lotus flowers are particularly popular in Japan. Each of these flowers requires a series of blintz folds.  Mix and match paper colors for an artsy effect. You can decorate the flowers with glitter or paint after you fold them for extra embellishment.

to make a leg or arm sprain believable. If you’ve decided that your fake injury will be a sprain or strain to your ankle, knee, wrist, or shoulder, especially one caused by an impact, adding a fake bruise will make the injury even more believable. Keep the makeup subtle and believable, and avoid adding a fake, bloody gash, which will look over-the-top. Look for red, purple, green, and yellow eyeshadow, blush, and eyeshadow or blush brushes. Stage makeup will create the most realistic bruise, but you can also use basic makeup in a pinch.  Some costume stores offer "bruise wheels," which contain all the eyeshadow colors you'll need to make a convincing bruise. Cream-based eyeshadows work better than powder-based ones, but either can be used. Use a brush to apply the eyeshadow. Add purple eyeshadow around the edges of your "bruise," and blend with a blush or powder brush. Blending will help the bruise look like it's inside the skin rather than on top of it. Make some parts of the bruise redder than other for an uneven, realistic appearance. Use a brush to blend the makeup for a seamless transition between colors. If you’re using green, add splotches of yellow near the edges. Let the edges stay uneven, since a neat or symmetrical bruise will look less believable. You want your bruise to last all day long so you don’t have to worry about it wearing off or reapplying. To ensure it stays put, brush a tiny bit of powder on the bruise. Then, use a setting spray to cement it all in place. Avoid touching the bruise throughout the day. Not only will this look more realistic--you wouldn’t want to touch a painful bruise--but it will also help keep your makeup in place. This is approximately how long bruises take to heal. As the weeks progress, make the reddish-purple section smaller and let the greenish-yellow area slowly consume the bruise. Once the reddish-purple section is gone altogether, shrink the greenish-yellow bruise until it gradually disappears. Bruises hurt, so grimace or flinch if you or someone else touches it.

to make them soft. You don't want your lips hard or chapped and dry. Use an exfoliating lip scrub or a toothbrush dipped in petroleum jelly to remove any dead, flaky skin and leave your lips smooth and soft.  Make your own lip scrub by combining a pinch of brown sugar and a little honey, olive oil, or coconut oil.  Gently rub the exfoliant or toothbrush over your lips using small, circular motions. Don't be too rough. Wipe your lips with a washcloth to remove all the petroleum jelly or lip exfoliator. Instead of a lip gloss or chapstick, which can seal the skin on your lips and keep moisture out, look specifically for a lip moisturizer and apply it right after showering.  Look for a lip moisturizer with vitamins A, B, and E which moisturize and help with absorbency.  Use a few drops of vitamin-rich sesame seed oil if you are in a pinch. If you're going to use a real piece of candy and not a flavored lip gloss, the minty flavor of the toothpaste may interfere with the sweetness of the candy and create a bad taste. You definitely want to start with a clean mouth, however, so make sure you brush your teeth 30-60 minutes before you think you're going to kiss your partner, so the mint flavor has time to fade. If you're planning to flavor your lips only, try to brush your teeth right before you meet your partner.

to others. Promoting love, peace, and happiness requires that you yourself spread these things out into the world. Start by taking the time to be kind to others. This could mean just being polite to people you meet on the street, being present for your friends and family, or seeking out opportunities to spread kindness, for instance volunteering to help others in need. Spreading love can mean a variety of things. It could mean telling your friends and family that you love them. It could be that you spread love in the world through your actions, for instance volunteering to help someone in need. Whatever you can do to show others the love and compassion you have for them, do it. Work on expressing your love clearly and convincingly. This usually requires a combination of words and action. Just telling your parents that you love them is not enough. Show them with your actions, for instance helping them around the house or visiting regularly, as well as your words. Help charity organizations and nonprofits that are working to promote world peace. This could be an organization with a broad mission, such as ending war, or it could be an organization with a more focused mission, such as ending violence in your community. Recognize the many opportunities that the internet offers. There are many organizations in the world who work for a better future through nonviolent means and you can find them through the internet. Find an organization by doing internet searches for causes that you believe in. Then contact the organizations you find about what volunteer opportunities they have available. Part of promoting love, peace, and happiness is to teach the next generation about its importance. Kids should be taught to help others, to be kind to others, and to respect others, including respecting people all over the world. If they are taught from an early age that love, peace, and happiness are the key ingredients for a better world, they will be more likely to work towards promoting these ideals.

to prevent frizz. Put some leave-in conditioner in your hair. Then gather your hair into a ponytail on top of your head and twist it loosely. Wrap the twist around itself to create a bun on top of your head. Hold it secure with a soft scrunchie.  Don’t twist or wrap your hair tightly as you put it into a bun, otherwise, this may dent your hair and flatten your curls. This is the best hairstyle to do if you are short on time, yet want to protect your curls as much as possible.  You can also do more than 1 bun if you want more voluminous curls in the morning. For example, divide your hair into 2-4 sections and create a bun for each section. Part your hair down the middle into 2 sections. Divide each section in half again. Take both sections on 1 side of your head, start at the roots, and cross each half over the other until you reach the tips of your hair to form a loose twist shape. Repeat on the other side so you have 1 two-strand twist on each half of your head. Secure each twist with a hair tie wrapped around the end.  You can use this hairstyle if your hair is wet or dry. However, if your hair is damp, you will have tighter curls in the morning. This style creates a two-strand twist on each half of your head. However, you can do as many two-strand twists in your hair as you prefer. Flip your hair forward over your face. Gather it together and tie it into a very high ponytail on top of your head. Use a scrunchie to secure it and try to avoid laying down on the hair in the ponytail.  Secure your hair very loosely so that you don’t damage your hair. You can also use a clip to secure the pineapple style. to help hold your curl pattern in place. Choose to do either 1 loose braid, multiple smaller braids, or a French braid. A tighter braid will result in a more crimped style when you wake up, while a looser braid will work to keep your natural curl pattern. Secure your braid with a scrunchie.  Experiment with trying out a different braid style each night before you sleep to see what style you prefer. After you...

to relieve stress. Meditate for at least 20 minutes a day.  There are different ways to meditate, but the objective is to calm your mind and slow down your autonomic processes, like breathing and your heartbeat. You can just sit quietly and try not to think about anything, or use guided imagery to focus your attention on positive ideas.   Lie or sit comfortably and pay attention to your breathing.  Don’t try to control it, just notice the pattern and sensation of air going through your body.  When thoughts or pain surfaces, think of them like a cloud passing over the sky quickly, acknowledge them, and watch them fade into the distance.  For guided imagery, imagine blocking off the pain physically, like putting it behind glass. Or, sit and breathe deeply for at least 10 minutes a day while imagining a tranquil scene.  Picture it as completely as you can, with sounds, sights, smells, etc., so you can imagine you are actually there. Yoga is a great tool for both maintaining fitness and relieving stress.  It involves stretching and rhythmic breathing and teaches you to pay attention to your body over external stimuli.   Learn yoga and practice it daily to increase your activity level and decrease overall stress.   Find a yoga class at your gym or a local yoga center to try it out.  Having a schedule of classes can help motivate you to keep doing it regularly. Find tutorial videos online at home.  Make sure to choose one for beginners at first.  Then, pick a theme.  Some are specifically for morning practice and others for before bed, for example. Doing an activity like meditation or yoga everyday will help lower your overall stress, but no doubt you will still have moments of intense stress caused or exacerbated by symptoms of menopause.

to secure the edge. The most professional way to finish an edge is with a specialized sewing machine called a serger. This sewing gadget uses four threads and two needles. Thread your serger and feed your seam under the foot, moving it through your machine needles, as you would with any sewing machine.  Be careful to remove pins before feeding the fabric through the serger. A serger sews, cuts, and finishes a seam all at the same time. For this reason, it can save you time. A serger is a specialized machine that cannot replace all the more basic functions of a regular sewing machine. They cost a couple hundred dollars, but if you do a lot of finishing work this might be a good choice for you. Set your sewing machine to the zigzag setting by using the dial or digital display on its side. Place the fabric under the raised foot of your machine. Lower the foot and proceed to feed the fabric through the machine. Keep the fabric’s edge lined up with the middle of the foot.  Refer to your machine’s manual for details if you’re unsure how to set it for a zigzag stitch. Add a few reverse stitches at the beginning and end to knot the thread. Remove the regular foot of your machine and attach the overlock foot in its place. Set your machine to do an overlocking stitch. Line your fabric up with the inner edge of the foot. Feed the fabric through the machine as usual.  By attaching an overlock foot to your sewing machine you can create a stitch that looks similar to what a serger creates. Use a zigzag setting with the overlock foot to achieve a similar finishing effect if you don’t have an overlock setting on your machine.  Consult your sewing machine manual for details on switching out the foot. It is usually a matter of popping it off and on, no tools required.

to see if the garment is bleachable. Before applying any chemical products like bleach on your clothes, pay attention to the label instructions often sealed to the inner side of the fabric. Look for a triangle, which is a sign for using bleach.  If there are two lines inside the triangle, that stands for using only non-chlorine bleach. If there is a cross over the triangle, then do not bleach this garment, as it’s likely going to harm its fabric or color. See if it suggests machine washing, hand washing, or dry-cleaning. Wait for 5 minutes or until the water gets soapy. Waiting is important, since many detergents take several minutes to activate their enzymes, and bleach will cease this reaction. For an enhanced clean, add a 1/2 cup of baking soda in with the detergent. In general, add 1/2 cup (118.3 mL) of bleach to the water. Give the bleach a few minutes to settle before adding your clothing to the water.  Too much bleach can actually damage or yellow your whites, so measure the bleach and water carefully. Never add bleach on top of clothing. If you used baking soda with detergent, reduce the amount of bleach by half. After the cycle ends, check for any color changes in your clothes. If there is any, immediately rinse by hand. White vinegar helps remove dirt while softening fabrics naturally, eliminating the need for a chemical fabric softener. Simply use ½ to 1 cup of distilled white vinegar along with the detergent in your washer.  The vinegar scent will be present when the clothes are wet, but it will fade and dissipate as they dry. Do not use bleach along with vinegar, as their reaction will cause toxic chlorine gas. Use ½ cup of baking soda if you don’t have white vinegar for a similar effect. Since it doesn’t contain bleach, which might be harmful for some fabrics, hydrogen peroxide is a great alternative for whitening garments. Add ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide along with detergent in the washer. Use 3% solution hydrogen peroxide, which is readily available at many grocery stores or drug stores. Use...

to see if you need a new thermostat. The thermostat monitors the internal temperature of the dryer and shuts it off if it gets too hot. If your thermostat is broken, the burning smell could be due to overheating. Unplug the machine, remove the back panel of the dryer, and remove the small cylindrical or rectangular-shaped thermostat by disconnecting the wires from both sides. Then set your multimeter to the lowest ohm reading (RX1) and place the two probes of the meter to the terminals (on one each, it doesn’t matter which color probe goes on which side).  The terminals are the two metal prongs on either side of the thermostat. Before disconnecting the thermostat wires, take a photo to keep track of which wires go where or jot it down on a notepad. At room temperature, the multimeter should have a reading of zero. If it reads infinity, get it replaced. The heating element looks like a coil (made of nickel and chrome) or series of interconnected coils housed inside a small open-faced box. Unplug the machine and remove the back panel in order to access it. Take it out by unscrewing the sensors located at the top and bottom of the vessel and unhooking the 2 wires located below the bottom screw.  Be sure to inspect each coil. If you see any dark spots (blackening) or broken coils, call a repair service to replace the element. If two adjacent coils are touching (as if they’ve been smashed together like a slinky), it could cause an electrical short and needs to be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to test for proper functioning. Set the multimeter to the continuity setting and press the probes onto the wire terminals (one on each terminal) located at the outside corner of the encasing. If the multimeter beeps, the element is still good. If it makes no sound, the element needs to be replaced. If you have a gas dryer, the heating element is located inside the electrical cabinet on the backside of the dryer. Look for a long white or silver cylindrical tube (the combustion tube) with two or three wires attached....

to start the cast on row. Loop the yarn around your index and middle finger twice. Pull the first loop through the second loop. Then, tug on the tail of the yarn to tighten the base of the slipknot. Slide the loop off your fingers and onto 2 knitting needles held together. Tug the tail again to tighten the slipknot around them.  The slipknot counts as your first cast on stitch. Make sure to use a medium-weight yarn for knitting on 2 needles. 36 stitches while holding 2 needles together. This will result in a looser cast on stitches and help to ensure that the socks will be large enough to fit over your feet. Form a loop of yarn with your fingers, pinch and twist it 1 time at the base, and then slide it onto the 2 knitting needles. Repeat until you have a total of 36 cast on stitches. Knit 1 and then purl 1 stitch going all the way across the row to work in the rib stitch. Then, reverse the pattern going back across the row. The rib stitch will make the top of your sock stretchy, which will help to keep it in place. You can make the sock as long or as short as you like. Measure it against your foot or against an existing sock to determine when the sock is long enough. For example, you could make an ankle sock, a mid-calf sock, or a knee-length sock. the last row. When you have finished your sock, knit 2 stitches to start casting off. Then, lift the first stitch up and over the second stitch. Knit 1 again and lift up and over again. Continue to knit 1 and lift 1 up and over the new stitch. Repeat this to the end of the row. To complete your sock, leave a tail that is about 24 in (61 cm) after you finish binding off. Then, thread this yarn through a yarn needle. Fold the rectangular piece in half lengthwise and begin sewing from the corner of the toe. Sew all the way across the toe, and then down the length of the side of the sock. Tie off the end of the yarn and cut the excess to secure your sock. Do not sew across the sock opening!

to stay hydrated. Staying hydrated may help you maintain your clear skin. While there is conflicting scientific evidence supporting the claim that water helps clear toxins out of your body, most scientist agree that drinking water is net-beneficial to your skin instead of net-neutral or net-negative. You do not need to necessarily drink eight glasses of water per day, but drink enough to replenish what you might have lost in exercise, and drink when you are thirsty. . Doctors are beginning to understand, after decades of inconclusive evidence, that diet does play a difference in whether you get acne and how severe it is. Eating a balanced diet rich in vegetables and fruits, lean protein, whole wheats and grains, nuts and seeds, and healthy fats (omega-3 fatty acids, for example) should help your body fight acne. At the same time, it will make you healthier and give you more energy. In addition to the foods listed above, try to get enough:  Vitamin A. Vitamin helps your body flush out acne-causing proteins and oil from the skin cycle. Take either 10,000 UI of vitamin A supplements, or eat foods that are high in vitamin A, which include fish oil, salmon, carrots, spinach, and broccoli. Zinc. Some evidence suggests that people with acne don't have enough zinc in their systems. Scientists think that zinc creates an inhospitable environment for the acne-causing bacteria. Foods that are high in zinc include: turkey, wheat germ, oysters, pumpkin seeds, and peanuts.  Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids promote healthy cell turnover and cut down on inflammation. Examples of omega-3 fatty acids include flax seed, salmon, sunflower seeds, and almonds. Scientists believe that high-glycemic diets — chocolate, French fries, pizza, etc. — are linked to acne vulgaris. In addition to high-glycemic foods, milk might also be a major culprit in causing acne, doctors have found: Scientists are now unraveling the very real link between dairy and acne.
