This stance is the neutral position from which you’ll start nearly all of your offensive and defensive moves. Start from a standing position. Separate your feet by about 2 feet (0.61 m). Then, bend your knees and slightly arch your back so you’re ready to spring in any direction. Lastly, bend your elbows at about 90° and put your hands in front of you.  A common alternative to this is the staggered stance. In a staggered stance, one foot is about 8 inches (20 cm) in front of the other and carries the majority of your weight. When in either stance, your elbows should be between your thighs. If your elbows stray outside of the them, your opponent may under hook your elbows. Keeping your legs wide and your torso low to the ground will help with this. So, keep your weight spread between both of your feet and always stay balanced on the balls of your feet. Get used to moving around in this crouched position, while maintaining the standard wrestling stance. Maintaining a low center of gravity will make it difficult for an opponent to topple you over. Sprawling is simply falling to your hip from your stance in order to prevent your opponent from performing a takedown move. When your opponent takes their shot at your leg(s), lower your hips, then drop to one knee and drop your hip on top of your opponent’s upper back. Push your opponent’s head down to the mat with one hand. This will prevent them from performing a takedown. The sprawl moves your legs out of range from someone shooting on you. This is a great way to defend against an opponent, and opens the best options to counter-attack.

This step is exactly like in the section above. Cover the bottom and sides of an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan with parchment or aluminum foil. Spray lightly with a cooking spray or rub with butter. You can do this in the microwave, but if you have the time, using a double boiler usually works best. See our article on double boilers for more information. In either case, low, gentle heat works best to prevent the white chocolate from burning or seizing. Pour the milk, dulce de leche, melted white chocolate, vanilla, butter, golden syrup, and sugar into a pot over medium-low heat. Stir to combine. When the ingredients form a smooth, thick mixture, increase the heat to reach a boil. Don't have a can of dulce de leche? Don't worry — you can make your own with a can of condensed milk. Click here. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Let the caramel simmer as you stir for about 10 minutes until you reach a rich golden color. If you smell smoke or notice your caramel becoming a darker, orange-brown color, remove it from the heat immediately. Expect to beat the caramel for about three to five minutes. When it reaches a thick but smooth consistently, it's ready. Just like in the recipe above, you can use an electric mixer or a spoon. In either case, be sure to wear protective mitts or gloves to prevent burns from caramel splatters. Transfer to the fridge to cool. It should be firm but chewy after a few hours. The caramel should come easily out of the pan with the parchment or foil. Use a kitchen knife to cut the fudge block into small cubes. It should be ready to eat immediately.

This step is only necessary if your orange roots are significantly darker than the rest of your hair. With each application of bleach, your hair is lifted three or four shades lighter. If your roots were very dark to begin with and the rest of your hair is very light, you may need to apply bleach for a second time in order to get it light enough. Many websites mistakenly suggest first toning orange hair. Toner will only work for hair that is already the desired lightness, but simply has hints of orange or yellow. It will not fix dark orange hair. After the bleach has been on your roots for the time specified on the packaging, rinse your hair thoroughly. After a second round of bleach, your hair may still be orange, but it should be lighter. If you’re satisfied with the lightness of your roots, you can move on to the next step. If your roots are now a yellow color and the rest of your hair is light blonde, you should be all done bleaching. If your roots are still slightly orange and the rest of your hair is a darker blonde, you’re all set. The trick is to bleach your hair to light yellows in order to achieve light blondes, and darker yellows and oranges are great bases for dark blondes. You can find toner at beauty supply stores. If you aren’t sure which toner you need, you can always ask someone who works there. As stated before, a toner will not magically turn your hair from dark orange to a platinum blonde, because it will not lighten your hair at all. It will, however, remove the orange or yellow notes from hair while keeping it at the same lightness level.

Apply bleach to the roots again. Rinse. Use a toner.


This step is only relevant if the board has a Q knob on the channel strip. In a live situation you can set the Q as high as it can go to make precision cut.

This step requires constant supervision, as chocolate burns easily:  Stir the melting chocolate often. If you're melting it in a pan or double boiler, stir constantly on low heat until the chocolate is fully melted.     Check the melting chocolate every 30 seconds. If you're melting the chocolate in a microwave, set it to cook for 30 seconds. Check and stir before returning it to cook for another 30 seconds.     Remove the melted chocolate from the heat source when it has a smooth, silky consistency. Now it's time to quickly create your cups.

This stretch targets several muscles in the front and back of your legs, as well as your butt. This is one of the best stretches for your lower body since it affects so many muscles.  While standing, spread your feet to just past shoulder width. Point your toes slightly outwards. Lean your weight back onto your heels and slowly descend into a squatting position. Try to keep your knees from extending past the front of your feet as you move into the squat. As you descend, place your hands into a prayer position and allow your elbows to stay in contact with the inside of your knees. Hold this stretch for 30-60 seconds. If you feel insecure in this stretch, feel free to hold onto a stationary object in front of you as you descend. This will keep you from falling backwards. This stretch targets your lower back and your hamstrings. This stretch is similar to the standard “touch your toes” stretch, but it avoids forcing your back into a curved position.  From a standing position, slowly bend forward, allowing your arms to hang down in front of you. Keep your back as flat as possible as your lean into the stretch. To help with this, aim your hands for a spot on the floor one to two feet in front of you. If you can get your hands to floor, that’s great—but don’t feel like you need to stretch this far. Hold this stretch for 30-60 seconds. This stretch will improve flexibility in your hamstrings. It’s a difficult stretch for some, so avoid it if it causes you any pain. Make sure to perform the stretch with both legs. This stretch targets your hips, groin, and thighs.  Place your right leg in front of you with your foot flat on the floor. Rest your hands on top of your leg. Extend your left leg behind you with your foot pointed backwards. Squeeze your glutes and press your pelvis forward so your upper body is erect. Slowly creep your right foot forward to perform the stretch. Hold this stretch for 30-60 seconds on each side. This stretch targets the interior part of your hamstrings as well as the butt.

This stretch will improve flexibility in the rear part of your shoulder. You’ll need a rod of some kind for this exercise. A broomstick also works. You should feel this stretch in your pecs as well as your shoulders. It targets the pecs, trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and teres major.  Grasp the rod in front of you with your hands at shoulder width. Your hands should be face down. While keeping your arms straight, slowly raise the rod up until your arms are directly over your head in a Superman position. Holding your arms in this position, try to push your head and chest forward. Hold the stretch for 30-60 seconds. This stretch will improve flexibility in the front part of your shoulder and will improve the overall range of motion of your shoulders.  Sit on the ground with your legs straight out in front of you. Extend your arms behind you and place your palms on the floor so that your fingers are pointing out behind you. Keeping your arms straight, slowly push your butt forward. Hold the stretch for 30-60 seconds. This stretch works the entire shoulder. It should be performed with both arms in succession. This stretch targets the deltoid middle head, as well as the lateral and medial heads of the tricep   In a standing position, raise your right elbow up so that your right hand is reaching towards your back. Take your left hand behind your back and reach it up towards your right hand. Grip the fingers of your two hands together and slowly pull down with your left hand. Hold this stretch for 30-60 seconds on each side. If you can’t get your hands to reach, hold a cloth with your right hand and grasp the bottom of it with your left hand.

This striking and elegant wall decoration is easy to make with fifteen minutes and some basic supplies. First, tie a pretty tree ornament to some ribbon and make a loop. Take an empty wooden picture frame (painted to match the ornament, if you like) and make sure the ribbon is long enough that when you hold the top against the top back side of the frame, the ornament hangs in the center. Once you're satisfied, mark that spot and hot glue or nail the ribbon in from the back. Hang the frame on the wall to show off the ornament suspended in its center. These are spiky, unique looking ornaments that recall snowflakes and dandelion fluff in equal measure. Start with balls of craft foam and lots of flat toothpicks. Sit down and stick the toothpicks into the foam balls all over, as closely together as possible. Once the entire ball is covered, adjust the toothpicks until they're all about even, and then spray paint the whole thing white. They look great sitting on top of other objects or just scattered as a set of three or four across a shelf. Use different-sized foam balls to make varying sizes of puffs. Thread thin ribbon through the tops of one or two small globe ornaments, and then tie the thin ribbon through the center of a bow knot in a piece of wide ribbon to serve as the napkin ring itself. Use two different colors, such as blue and silver, for a pretty and classy look. As with all napkin rings, this works best on cloth napkins; however, if you skip the ornaments, you can make even a plain table festive by tying utensils together with satin bows. Wrapped candles are quick, easy, and impressive to look at. Start with a candle in a dedicated glass holder, or use a pillar candle set in a properly-sized wine glass or other piece of glassware. Next, wrap the base or center area of the glass with something festive. Bits of sleeve cut from old winter sweaters look cozy; a fat velvet ribbon with a bow is festive; sprigs of cedar glued around the base are warm and elegant. Consider using pretty Mason jars, such as...

This style has tucked tails, which gives it the resemblance of a bow tie. This bow is easy to fasten to any hair clip and is perfect for babies, pets, or headbands. You can use any type of ribbon fabric or pattern you want for this style of bow. You may also want to choose an embellishment to add to the center of the bow as a finisher. You will need the following items:  Ribbon Needle Thread Hot glue gun or fabric glue Embellishment for the center of the bow Hair clip, elastic, or headband to apply the bow to This bow design works in small or large sizes. Once you decide on the size you prefer, you will need to double the length, and add one extra inch to figure out how much material you will need to make your bow. If you would like a standard 2 1/2 inch bow, you will need six inches of fabric. Once your ribbon is cut, you will loop the ribbon into a circle, and allow the two edges to overlap by 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm). If you would like, you can add another piece of fabric by wrapping around the center to hide your thread. You can add any type of embellishment by simply gluing it directly on to the center of the bow. Once it has dried, your bow is ready to wear.

This style of sleeveless shirt is popular with people who workout frequently because it allows for more breathability.  Loose-fitting t-shirts are the best open for this style, especially if they are a bit big. The idea of this shirt is to have a baggy, open shirt in which to do strenuous activity, like weight lifting or manual labor. This is the easiest method of making a sleeveless shirt, because it only requires two simple cuts. This will allow for a large open side in the shirt. This also ensures that you do not cut the side of the shirt completely open. Remember that you are not making this into a tank, so the width of the shirt at the shoulder should still be a good 3-4 inches wide.  When you get up to the sleeve at the shoulder, you should have about an inch of fabric still attached to the sleeve as it is cut off. This allows for more fabric to be attached to the neckline, creating a muscle tee. Pull the shirt tight as you cut to help keep a mostly straight cut. The new edges of the shirt will likely curl in on themselves a bit, but the cut should still be as straight as you can make it. A simple double-turn hem does the trick with minimal sewing.  Fold your new edge to the inside of the shirt ¼ inch and press. Then, fold it in again another ¼ inch and press again. Use your sewing machine and its presser foot, also known as a rolled hem foot, to sew the folds down for the hem.  Repeat on the other armhole.

Choose what t-shirt you would like to cut to make a muscle tee. Measure up about six inches from the bottom of the shirt to start your cut. Cut into the side of the shirt, cutting upward at a slight angle. Hem the edges, if you would like to keep the shirt from fraying.


This style of wear is perfect for cool weather. It's easy to throw on or take off if the sun comes out and warms up your early winter day. To "tie" this knot, simple lay it across the back of your neck so that each end of the scarf hangs evenly. The Once Around offers a little more warmth for your neck, making it more suitable for breezy or windy days. Lay your scarf across the back of your neck so that the right side is longer than the left, then take the long side across the front of your body, around your neck, and return it to hang on the right side. This knot is a little fancier, and may be perfect for business, a date, or a brisk night on the town. With your scarf around your neck and the right side longer than the left, take the long end across your chest and over the short end, loop the long end around and under the short end, and then pull it through so that it hangs atop the other fabric. This tie is very simple, but is perfect for when the temperature begins to get a little more toward the chilly side, especially if you're only wearing a light jacket. Keeping each side even around your neck, cross both ends at the front of your chest, around each of your sides, and tie the ends together behind your back with the knot of your choice.

This suggestion might have started out as an old wives' tale, but some doctors are actually behind it. Put some sugar on a pacifier or your finger.  Just lick your finger/pacifier and dip it into a sugar bowl.  Have the baby suck on it for a few minutes, and the hiccups will most likely fade away. The (as of yet, very unscientific) thinking is that the effort required to swallow the sugar in its granular form disrupts the diaphragm back into normal, for lack of a better phrase.   Note: try to put only a little bit of sugar underneath the infant's tongue and encourage them to swallow the sugar quickly, before it dissolves. Another way to do this is to dip a pacifier in sugar put it into your child's mouth. A gentle back rub may loosen your child's muscles, giving the diaphragm the okay to relax. Using upward motions, move your hand from the small of the back up to the shoulder, preferably while the baby is still upright. This technique may take several minutes to start working.  Another way to do this is to place your baby on the ground on his or her belly and allow him or her to move around a little bit.  This should help to get rid of any air bubbles causing the hiccups in the first place. Now gently rub your baby's back until the hiccups subside. This may help your baby to get rid of any excess gas in their system.  They will normally give one last loud hiccup before it's over. Although there is no clinical evidence that gripe water is effective against the hiccups, many parents use gripe water to soothe intestinal discomfort in their children. Dissolve a little bit of gripe water in a bit of water and administer it in a dropper. Note that your baby may be allergic to one of the many ingredients in gripe water, which includes alcohol, ginger, dill, and fennel, among others. Try to hold your baby upright if you can, or hold their hands as you get them to stand. Your baby may be suffering from reflux after eating something. In this case, doctors may advise keeping your child in an upright position for 30...

This system is likely computerized. If you are having trouble, ask a librarian for help or have her simply look it up for you. The Dewey Decimal System applies only to nonfiction books. This system organizes the books by topic, ranging from genetics to Victorian England to astrology. The call number will contain three digits or more. Record both the number and the author's last name before you begin your search. Skim the spines of the books you pass to find the ones with the same first digit as your desired book. Then search those books for ones with the same second digit, and so on. Here's an example:  Let's say you are looking for a book with Dewey Decimal number 319.21. Find the aisle that 319 would fall under, ignoring the decimals for now. For example, "300.2–340.99" would be the correct aisle, since 319 falls between 300 and 340. Walk down the shelf looking at the spines until you find the books beginning with 319. Search within the books beginning 319 to find the one you're looking for. These are arranged by the value of the decimal, so 319.21 falls between 319.20 and 319.22. There may be multiple books with the same call number, so check the author's name to confirm that you've found the one you selected in the card catalog.

This technique allows you to experience a sense of deep relaxation. When you’re in a relaxed state, it’s easier to get to your happy place. Hold the tension for five seconds and then relax the muscles for thirty seconds. You should feel the muscles in your toes begin to relax. Continue to tense your muscles for five seconds and then relax them for 30 seconds as you progressively work your way up your body. Here is a good guide to help you with each of the muscle groups:  Forehead and scalp: Open your eyes wide. Focus on raising your eyebrows as high as you can. Your face may resemble how you look when someone surprises you. Upper facial region (Eyes and cheeks): Squeeze your eyes shut as tightly as you can. Lower facial region (Mouth and jaw): Open your mouth as wide as you can. This is may feel similar to how your mouth appears when you're about to shout something across a crowded room. Neck: Raise your head so that your neck is being gently pulled backward. Continue this slow movement until you are looking up at the ceiling. Be careful when you tense these muscles because your neck can be easily injured. Shoulder muscles: Tense the muscles in your shoulders by raising your shoulders upward. Your goal should be to get your shoulders as close to your ears as possible. Back of your shoulders (shoulder blades) and back: Move your shoulder blades in a backward motion toward one another. It should feel like you’re trying to make them touch. As you do this, you'll feel your chest pushing forward. Biceps and Triceps (Upper arm): Bring your forearm up to your shoulder and then tense the muscle. It should feel like you're trying to “flex your muscles.” Hands and forearm: Tightly squeeze your hand together so that you're making a fist. Midsection (Chest and stomach): Take a deep breath from your diaphragm. The breath should be deep enough to fill up your lungs and chest with air. Hips and buttocks: Squeeze the muscles in your buttocks together tightly. You'll feel tension in your pelvic area as well. Quadriceps and...

This technique alone will not accurately sight-in a rifle, but it may help get your rifle shooting much closer to the intended target than before.  Most rifle sighting is done first at 25 yards (22.9 m), then  at 100 yards (91.4 m). This will give you a more accurate sighting over long distances. A quick way to measure yardage is to grab a tape measure and see how many paces it take you to travel 30 feet (9.1 m). Do this a couple times and average the results. Once you know how many paces 30 feet (10 yards) is, you can measure out 25 yards (22.9 m). The process for this varies from firearm to firearm, but almost all bolt-action hunting rifles should be able to do this relatively easily. Make sure to place the bolt somewhere clean while bore-sighting. Move the rifle until the middle of the bull's-eye is lined up with the barrel. If you are not using a bolt-action rifle, you can insert a collimator, which is a bore-sighting instrument, into the end of the barrel to continue bore-sighting the rifle. Make absolutely sure to remove the collimator before firing your rifle. Check the scope to see if the crosshairs are also lined up with the bull's-eye. If they are not, adjust the settings on the scope in the opposite direction you want the scope to move, until the crosshairs go through the center of the bull's-eye. In other words, if you want the crosshairs to move up, you will have to turn the scope adjustment knob in the downward direction. Once you have finished bore-sighting the rifle, return the bolt to its original position.

This technique is only useful for making circular shaped hollows. Mark the position of your hollow on the wood with a pencil. At this point, use a normal drill bit to drill a shallow hole into the wood.  Your guide hole only needs to break the surface of the wood to work effectively. Keep guide holes as shallow as possible. With softer or unfinished woods, you may not need a guide hole. However, these take little time to drill and will decrease the chances of chipping and cracking. Spade bits come in different sizes, allowing you a pretty wide range for your hollow. Flat bottomed, precise hollows can be made with a Forstner bit. Larger hollows will be made most easily with a hole saw. You'll have to use your best judgement to choose the bit right for your hollowing project. Choose your bit according to your project's needs. Switch out your normal drill bit for the one you chose to make your hollow. Position the bit at the guide hole so the bit forms an L-shape with the wood. Apply moderate pressure to the drill and press its trigger to bore a circular hole in the wood.  Drilling in this fashion can kick up sawdust. Wear safety googles when using your drill, and consider using a breathing mask if you have sensitive lungs.  You won't be able to gauge the depth of this technique very accurately. Keep a careful eye on the depth of the bit as you drill. To make it easier to determine depth, hold the drill to the side of the wood at your chosen depth. Use a piece of tape to mark the bit. When the tape reaches the wood, you've reached the right depth. When hollowing out large areas, use a normal drill bit to drill several holes through the area you'll be hollowing. These holes will make chiseling much easier and more precise, but it can be difficult to maintain even depth with this method. This is another time where you can use a piece of tape to improve depth consistency; mark the desired depth of your hollow on your drill bit with the tape.

This technique is sometimes called the shading stroke because it is perfect for coloring in large areas. Move the pencil back and forth over your paper to create an even and solid color. Use this technique on any types of drawings, including landscapes, sky scenes, portraits, and abstract pictures. Try to keep a consistent pressure when using the back and forward strokes to make the color look even. This is a quick and easy way to make your drawing look 3-dimensional. Simply move your pencil in small circular motions over the paper. Use this circular technique to add realistic texture to clothes, skies, trees, animals, and faces.  Experiment with different sized circular motions on scrap paper to figure out which style you like best. To darken the color, simply overlap the small circles. Similarly, to lighten the color, use slightly larger circles and spread them out a little more. You can get a lot of colors out of one pencil just by changing how hard you press down. Press really gently to create a light color and press firmly to create a darker color. To make objects look 3-dimensional, press harder in areas where you want to create shadows and press lightly in areas that you want to highlight.  This is perfect for drawing sky and water, as it allows you to create the different shades that are found in nature. This helps to make your drawings look more realistic. If you find that you are breaking the lead in your pencil, press a little lighter and color over the same section a few times to achieve the same depth of color. Hatching is a shading technique that involves drawing multiple parallel lines in a row to fill a blank space with color and texture. Don’t worry if there is a little bit of white between the lines, as this helps to accentuate the unique texture that hatching produces.  Draw the lines close together to create deep, solid colors, or separate the lines a little to make the color look lighter and more dispersed. Make the lines the same color to create a solid color, or use different colors to...

Use back and forward strokes to create a smooth, flat look. Draw in a tight circular motion to add texture to your drawing. Vary the pressure on the pencil to create different shades. Use hatching to create a 3D effect in your drawings. Utilise the cross-hatch technique to create a shadow effect.


This technique keeps you chasing that bit of hope she offers you. She might say she's not available, but is free on another day. She might say "no" but tell you about an interesting place she wants to see. Or she might not commit to a date, telling you to wait and see.  A rejection or flat out, definitive, "no" means she's not interested. She won't be offering you a rain check or be in contact with you again. Learn to give her space and when to stop. If you ask her out too many times or too often, you will become less attractive and look desperate. If it always takes her awhile to respond to your calls or texts, even just to say "hi", then she's probably playing hard to get. And when she does respond, she might make up an excuse about how incredibly busy she was. She'll say she was at a party or hanging out with someone. She's showing you that she's a busy girl and is not entirely dependent on spending time with you.  Her delayed responses should happen consistently and almost strategically. If she doesn't respond to you for days or makes up a weird excuse, it probably means she's not interested enough to respond back in time. Some girls just don't respond to texts or calls right away. Don't overanalyze this or get upset with her. If she's showing signs of being interested in you, take a breath and understand that people are often busy or forgetful. A girl playing hard to get, will want to look hard to get. It's her way of showing you she has many options to choose from and could be taken by someone else at any moment.  She might bring along some good-looking friends to a party to make you jealous. She'll tease you about people who have tried to hit on her, but failed. It may seem like she's ridiculing them, but she's really pointing out to you how attractive she is. If she talks about the people she's dating with you, then she's probably not interested and might just see you as a friend. Don't treat this as a failure but rather as the start of a blossoming friendship. However, not everyone can stay friends...

Ask her out and see if she gives you an open-ended "no". Contact her and see how long it takes for her to respond. Watch if she shows you your competition.


This technique requires 2 people -- one to apply the plaster, the other to act as the mold and have the plaster applied to their face. Whoever acts as the mold should be someone who can hold still for 30 minutes to an hour while the plaster dries. Do you want a full mask or a half mask? Do you want a basic face shape, or will you add horns or other details? Will you incorporate rhinestones or other embellishments? Decide ahead of time and sketch out your design before you start working with the plaster.  If the person acting as the "mold" is slightly claustrophobic or under the age of 5, a half mask is recommended. If your design is intricate, you may want to let your helper apply the plaster to your face. That way, it will be perfectly molded to your face shape. If it's pretty basic, either of you can act as the "mold." Tie or slick back their hair to keep it out of the way. Apply a layer of petroleum jelly on their face. Be generous -- if you miss an area, it may hurt when you're taking the plaster off. The plaster will not pull out eyebrow hair -- just be liberal with your application of the petroleum jelly! Lay a tarp, sheet, or old comforter on the floor. Have the person getting plastered lay down flat on it. Make sure they are comfortable enough to be still for 30 minutes to an hour. Have the person lay as still as possible during this time. They'll be able to feel the plaster contracting as it dries, which may be slightly uncomfortable. When the plaster starts to become itchy and feels dry to the touch, it's ready to be removed. These will cover the tip of your dowel and make your mask look professional and stylish. Try using bows, feathers, ribbons, and jewels.

Grab a friend or helper. Choose and sketch out your mask design. Pull back the person's hair and apply petroleum jelly on their face. Arrange a comfortable spot on the floor and for the person to lay on. Let the plaster dry for 30 minutes to an hour. Add embellishments to the dowel.


This technique works better if you are face to face with your crush. This tactic requires you to trick your crush into calling or texting you to find out some sort of information. The key is to express interest in an activity but tell him you are in a rush.  Start small and say, “hey James”. Then follow up with a question about an event he’s interested in or even what he’s doing over the weekend. Express an interest in the plans. Try something like: “let me know if you end up going” or “maybe we can go together” As a result, your crush will be backed into a corner and may have no choice but to ask for your number. Once he calls or texts you, you can save his contact information to your phone. Invite your crush to an event with a larger group of friends. Tell him that you can text the details later, and try to walk away. Your crush should realize that the two of you have never exchanged numbers and mention it right then and there.  It is essential that the event you invite your crush to is a group event. Group events are non-committal and less nerve-wracking. Your crush is more likely to respond favorably in this set of circumstances than he might if you invite him on a date. Try to make the group consist of people your crush knows casually but not too well. If the group consists of your crush's close friends, odds are, he will know someone else's phone number and just text that person for the details instead of you. Start walking away as soon as you make the invitation. If you hang around too long, your crush might ask you for the details then and there. Your crush will likely respond in one of three ways. With any luck, he will call or text you right then to store his number in your phone. If this does not happen and the event passes, he might ask you for your number afterward, so he doesn’t miss out next time. Of course, there is also a chance that your crush will not ask at all, in which case, he probably isn't interested in exchanging digits. Instead of making plans, you can offer your phone number to...

This tells the phone company you are dialing outside of the US. This code is 011. Indicate that the call is an international call by dialing 011. If the call is being made from a cellular phone, the + symbol can be used instead of the 011 international calling code. This is the code that informs the telephone company which country to route the call to. To call Germany, this code is 49. Dial the phone number of the person you are trying to reach. Make sure the number you were given does not include the country code or the area code. Place the call carefully, making sure that all codes are dialed in the correct order. It may take longer than normal to connect.

This temperature will be warm enough to keep your pet comfortable without shocking it. Fill the bathtub so that the water only comes up to around your pet’s stomach.  For example, if the bottom of your pet’s belly is about 1 foot (0.30 m) off the ground, then you should fill the tub with about 1 foot (0.30 m) of water. If you’re washing a smaller animal, such as a ferret, fill a large bucket with lukewarm water instead of a bathtub. Avoid getting any water in your pet’s eyes or ears, since it may irritate them. Make sure all of the fur is completely soaked through before proceeding. This is especially important for pets with thick fur, since it will take more water for them to get completely soaked. The amount of soap you use will depend on how large your pet is, as well as how badly it’s infested with fleas. Start with a small quantity of dish soap (e.g., around 2 to 3 teaspoons (9.9 to 14.8 mL)) and add additional dish soap as needed. Start applying the soap at the neck and work your way down towards the tail.  Avoid getting any of the soap in your pet’s eyes or ears. Be gentle while scrubbing, but make sure you scrub deeply enough to get to the skin where the fleas will hide. If the pet cries, you're scrubbing too roughly. If your pet’s coat is particularly thick, try using a pet brush to get the soap deep down into its fur. Allow about 5 minutes for the dish soap to completely kill the fleas before you begin rinsing. Use a cup of water or a handheld shower head to wash the soap off. Start from the top of your pet’s body and work your way down towards the tail.  For best results, use a flea comb to brush your pet’s fur as you rinse off the soap to make sure you’re removing as many fleas as possible. You may need to spray a lot of water in a single area in order to completely rinse off all of the dish soap. Be very cautious when washing around the eyes. If contact with the eyes occurs, rinse them with cool water and dry them with a towel. Once you stop seeing live fleas in your pet’s fur, drain the water...

Fill the bathtub with lukewarm water around 70 °F (21 °C). Soak your pet in the bath so that all of its fur is wet. Apply the soap to your pet’s fur until it’s completely lathered. Wait 5 minutes, then rinse all of the soap off of your pet’s fur. Empty the bathtub and dry off your pet with a towel when you’re done. Repeat this process if you still see fleas on your pet.


This term was coined by psychologist Robert Firestone to describe a phenomenon that happens all too often in new relationships: Because of defensive behaviors established due to past hurts, the individuals within a couple abandon their individual identities and interests to merge into a single unit, in the hopes that it will completely fulfill and protect them.  This causes issues because it doesn’t allow either partner to live as a unique individual within a healthy couple relationship. It fosters dependency, possessiveness, and putting the other person into a set “role” rather than accepting the challenges that come with real adult relationships.  Signs of a “fantasy bond”-based relationship include:  Difficulty in expressing interests or ideas other than those you share with your partner Relying on everyday routines for intimacy rather than emotional closeness Overusing “we” statements, speaking for the other person Defining yourself as a “role” (wife, mother, breadwinner, father) rather than developing personal goals and interests Discomfort in pursuing any activities or interests on your own, without your partner (or discomfort if your partner does these things) Particularly if you’ve been hurt in love before, it may be hard for you to feel comfortable opening up about your real interests and feelings. However, if you want to develop a healthy, happy romantic relationship, meaningful communication is essential.  Talk about your ideas, goals, and interests. The ability to share what’s most important to you with another person is one of the highlights of romantic relationships. Avoid mind-reading. Especially if you feel like you know someone well, it can be tempting to “read between the lines” when they say something, particularly if that something has upset you. For example, if your significant other forgot an important date for you, a mind-reading response would be: “You forgot this because you don’t really care what’s important to me.” If you find yourself or your significant other saying things like...

This time represents the next three digits of pi: 3.14159. Take a minute to acknowledge pi in whatever way you see fit at that moment During this minute, you can cheer wildly, or even have a countdown leading up to "pi minute" the minute before.  For added effect for a countdown, have a "pi drop" where you drop a big pie off a balcony or another elevated structure. You can even add a lot of sprinkles to the pie to make it look like a disco ball. If you've written a pi song or made a pi dance, this would be the perfect minute to share your art. Note that there is some debate regarding the exact time that Pi Day should be celebrated. Though 1:59PM is probably the most common, some believe that the 24-hour clock should be used instead, which would mean that Pi Day should be celebrated at 1:59AM or 15:09PM. This step is absolutely necessary for two reasons: first, to utterly confuse people who have no idea what you're talking about, and secondly, to have fun seeing how many things can be referenced with pi. This will help you reach an even higher appreciation for the amazing number that is pi. Consider two approaches:  Use pi to tell the time. Convert naturally circular things into radians, like the hours on the clock. Instead of it being 3 o'clock, now it's 1/2 pi o'clock. Or, instead of it being 3 o'clock, convert the inclination of the sun into radians and describe that as the time. Simply use 3.14 as a unit of measure. Instead of being 31 years old, you are 9pi years old. With this same approach, you can find out your next pi birthday -- just don't forget to celebrate it when it comes! Don't let this be a one-time thing — you owe it to pi to celebrate again and again. Set the date for next year and consider creating a pi club or website in the process.  Talk about your plans for Pi Day the following year. This will help generate enthusiasm. Take notes after your Pi Day celebration. What can you do next year to make your celebration even more incredible? Next year, talk about the day months in advance so your...

This time, turn inward and focus on yourself rather than your boss.  Write down every single thing that makes you happy about your job, no matter how big or how small.  You might surprise yourself with all the entries on your list, and research has shown that improving your outlook improves your happiness, which only improves your outlook more.  You might be grateful for your flexible schedule Perhaps you get paid vacation days, or holidays and weekends off You may enjoy the comradery among you and your colleagues Your job might not be too far from home making for a reasonable commute Independent of your boss’s vision, consider what professional goals you have for yourself.  Make a list of your short and long-term goals and then prioritize everything in either order of achievability or order of importance to you.  Take advantage of any opportunities to combine goals and then develop a plan of action.  You might want a promotion in the next six months Or you might want a raise Perhaps you’d like to switch from morning to day shift You want to be designated a lead on the next big project Your self-esteem, stress level, and general happiness are important.  If your boss’s laziness is impacting your job or emotional health, you need to take some sort of action, whether you decide talk with them or seek other employment.  Don’t just “do nothing.” Remember, a job just isn’t the right fit if you have to sacrifice your emotional health to make it work. If appropriate, this also opens up a conversation to redefine your position and compensation. If you have tried to resolve the issues with your boss and are still unhappy, you may need to consider that it’s time to find a new job.  Begin networking, clean up your resume, and start actively looking for another position.  This doesn’t mean defeat, or that something is wrong with your or even your boss.

This title should be written in capital letters.  For example, "TOMATO CONSUMPTION FIGURES." In IEEE citations each source is numbered in ascending order as the source is introduced in your writing.  You'll then refer back to the source number whenever you mention that source.  If this marks the first time you've used this source, assign it a new number. If you've already used this source, refer back to the original source number. In our example, let's say this is the fifth source used in your paper.  Your citation, then, will begin with a bracket and then "5": "[5..." This concludes the information you'll provide in the body of your paper.  Your complete citation, then, will look like this:  TOMATO CONSUMPTION FIGURES [5, p. 43]. Be sure to list complete source information in your endnotes.

This tool is a two-columned T-chart with the left side labeled "Literally" and the right side labeled "Figuratively." In the "Literally" column, you will list the words, phrases, and descriptions that catch your eye from a given poem. In the "Figuratively" column, you will pair the literal meanings with connotations and impressions: the subtle allusions that exist behind the words. If you already have a poem in mind, feel free to use it. If you aren't sure, do your research. Flip open a book of poetry and find something suitable; ask for a recommendation from a friend or teacher; or visit http://www.poetryfoundation.org/browse/ to look for poems online. This article will explicate Walt Whitman's work "A Noiseless Patient Spider" for the sake of example.  Pick something short for your first explication. This is not to say that you can't work through a longer poem – but it will be much quicker if you choose a piece that spans just a few stanzas. Look for a poem that captures your imagination. The process of explication may be more rewarding if you feel strongly about the poem. Read it aloud, three times through, for full effect. Put emotion into the lines, and try to tap into the natural cadence of the words. In the left-hand column of your explication chart, write down words or phrases that catch your eye.  If you're reading Whitman's "A Noiseless Patient Spider," you might notice the words: "noiseless," "patient," "spider," "promontory," "isolated," "vacant vast surrounding," "filament," "tirelessly," "soul," "surrounded," "detached," "measureless oceans of space," "musing, venturing, throwing," "seeking the spheres to connect," "bridge you need," "gossamer thread," "fling catch somewhere." Your grand total of words and phrases may be more or less than the words from the example. There is no "right" or "wrong" answer! It's all about what the poem means to you. Read over the list of words and phrases that you picked out, and look for the deeper meaning behind each of these things. Consider your own...

Reinstalling your wireless adapter's driver is the quickest way to troubleshoot it when it won't turn on. Windows will handle the heavy lifting automatically. Press ⊞ Win+R and type "devmgmt.msc". This will launch the Device Manager. This will list all of your installed network adapters. You should see your wireless adapter and your Ethernet adapter. This will open a new window. You'll see the driver installation date and version number, along with some options. You'll need a network connection in order for Windows to automatically install the correct driver. Use an Ethernet cable and attach your laptop to one of your router's LAN ports. Once you're connected to your router via Ethernet, reboot your computer. Windows should detect your driver-less adapter automatically once you log in. It will prompt you to let it find and install the proper driver. If you're connected to your router via Ethernet, Windows will be able to check online for the latest version of the driver. Windows will download and install the automatically. After the driver installation (which may take several minutes), your network adapter should turn back on. If your adapter has an indicator light, you should notice it change from orange to blue.

This tool will cleanly remove existing caulk with a simple scraping motion. Make sure that the blade is plastic, as a metal blade can scratch and damage plastic bathtubs.  If you are installing a new bathtub, there won't be any old caulk to remove! Skip this section and concentrate on applying new caulk. A utility knife is another option for a quick removal of caulk. Ensure that the blade is plastic. Although you can buy specialty caulk removers, these can damage plastic bathtubs. Fiberglass and acrylic tubs can also be easily scratched. Stick to plastic blades for these too. Place the blade flush against the surface of the bathtub, and use small, quick strokes to scrape the caulk. This will remove the caulk from the surface cleanly.  This motion will cause the caulk to flake away in long, thin pieces. Once you have gone around the bathtub removing old caulk, do a final check to find any spots you may have missed. Use tweezers to pry out any hard to reach caulk. Wipe up and remove any pieces of caulk that you can see. Then vacuum the tub to remove any leftover, hidden pieces. Use an old rag to wipe down all of the areas of the bathtub where caulk was with denatured alcohol. This will help to clean the surface in preparation to apply the new caulk. If there are any particularly stubborn pieces of caulk that won’t come away, then you can also use denatured alcohol to help remove these. Soak a rag in denatured alcohol and leave it resting over the caulk for 2 days. Then it should easily scrape away. Mix ⅓ cup (80 ml) of bleach with 1 gallon (3.79 L) of water. Wear gloves and scrub the bathtub and the edges where the caulk used to be with the solution.  Make sure that the room is well-ventilated. Use a stiff scrubbing brush to scrub the bathtub with bleach.  Let this solution dry fully before applying the new caulk. Leaving it overnight and keeping it well-ventilated is best.

This town can be found in northwest part of Hoenn. It’s a small farming community with a Contest Hall. To the west of this town, you'll find Route 114.Go there and find the Fossil Maniac's house, which will be located on that route. Inside the Fossil Maniac's house you'll find a character awaiting you. This is the Fossil Maniac's brother, and simply by talking to him you will receive TM28 (Dig). Be sure you get this item as soon as it is available to you. You can miss out on it, in which case you'll have to find and raise a Pokémon that naturally learns Dig if you want to get the ability. You might want to choose one of your commonly used Pokémon to have this ability. This way, when you're training or traveling through dangerous areas, like caves, tall grass, and dungeons, you can escape to the entrance of the area with Dig if necessary. You might also give this ability to a Pokémon you don't plan on using much so you don't have to sacrifice valuable ability slots, as each Pokémon can only have a maximum of five abilities at any time. TM's are one-time use items. This means if you trade the Pokémon you teach TM28 to, you won't be able to teach the ability to another Pokemon. In this situation, you'll have to raise a Pokémon that learns Dig naturally.

This transparent, double-sided tape will adhere your clothing to your skin, ensuring that it stays in place even as you move around. Remove the backing paper and stick the tape directly onto your skin. You will use the other sticky side to attach to your clothes, and you won’t have to worry about any accidental slips.  Fashion tape is ideal for low cut dresses and tops as well as tank tops with roomy arm holes. Because fashion tape was made for use on the skin, it should be easier to remove than regular tape. It’s also unlikely to cause a skin reaction. Bandeaus and bralettes are thinner, often lacy, bra alternatives. These pretty undergarments are meant to be seen and are often styled with off-the-shoulder or low-cut shirts. For clothing that has a wider potential for an accidental nipple sighting, a bandeau or bralette may be a perfect option for concealing, while adding a trendy appeal. Using a camisole or tighter fitting tank top under your shirt or blouse will ensure that your nipples stay out of sight. Pick a cami in the same shade as your top so it matches or blends with your outfit.

Use fashion tape to keep your clothing in place. Try a bandeau for coverage and style. Don a tighter cami under your clothing to keep everything in place.


This trick involves a bit of memorization and is done by how you lay out the cards out in each round of the trick.   The first round of the trick has you laying the cards in four rows of four cards each, face up.   The second round has you laying the cards in four columns of four cards each, face up. The third round has you laying the cards in four squares of four cards each, face up. Create four rows of four cards each.   Ask your spectator to pick a card and memorize it. Tell your spectator not to tell you which one it is, but to think about it very hard and visualize the card. Once your spectator tells you which row the card the is in, quickly memorize the cards in that row.  While you do this, keep talking to your spectator. If you want to make it a bit more interesting, you can wager a bet that you will be able to read your spectator’s mind and eventually find the correct card. Gather up the cards. Pick up the row that your spectator’s card is in first. Be careful to keep the cards in the same order for each row. Stack the cards face up on top of one another. You will have your spectator’s card in the bottom four cards with the cards face up. Then turn the deck of sixteen over so your spectator’s card is now in the top four. By separating the cards into columns for this round, you can quickly find your spectator’s card.  Because you previously memorized the row that your spectator’s card was in, and have now separated that row into different columns, each of the cards from the spectator’s row is now in a new grouping of four. Furthermore, since your spectator’s card is one of the first four cards you laid out, you will be able to identify it easily. Though you laid the cards out in columns, you still want your spectator to identify the card by the row. You will now be able to find the card by the column. However, don’t reveal that you know which card it is just yet.  You can identify your spectator’s card because it will be the top card in whichever row your spectator points to. Since you laid the cards...

This trick is very simple, and relies on your charisma performing this trick. You’ll need a sugar cube, glass of water, and a pencil. Have your materials ready in front of you before performing the trick. This trick works best on smaller children who won’t suspect what you’re doing. Ask your audience for a number between 1 and 10. Once they give you a number, write the number into the sugar cube. Trace over the number several times with your pencil to make sure the number is bold. Pick up the sugar cube so that the side with the number is facing your thumb. Apply pressure so that the pencil mark transfers onto your thumb. Then, drop the sugar cube into the glass of water. You will need to apply a lot of pressure, so push your thumb into the cube with force. This is the most important part of the trick. Grab their hand with your thumb that you printed the number onto. Hold their hand so that your thumb is on their inner palm. Hold their hand for a few moments and say some magic words.  Say magic words to pass the time while you transfer the pencil onto their palm. Tell them to keep their palm over the glass of water for ten seconds. Now tell them to show everyone their hand. They should have a faint image of the number on their inner palm. You should practice these steps with a trusted friend or family member before taking it out to the public. This works best on little kids who won’t expect the allusion.

This trick requires you to do a little bit of prep, but can be performed easily at a restaurant or bar.   This trick is less of an illusion where your audience won't see you prep. Because you won't have much time in between prep and actually performing the trick, it's more of a science trick. You need two straws that are still in the paper wrappers. Tear the wrapper toward one end of the straw, but don't remove the wrapper. Your straws will still be in the wrappers, but you will have separated a long portion of the sleeve. This longer sleeve will be used to create friction. The small bit of paper left on the other end stays in place to prevent you from touching the plastic straw before you need to. You will have a long sleeve of paper wrapper which you can now slide up and down on the straw to create a static charge.  Pinch the ends of the straws between your teeth, making sure that you don't get the paper wet. Slide the long sleeves of paper up and down on the straws several times to build a charge. Make sure to pinch the end of the straws firmly, using the tip of the wrapper as a barrier between your teeth and the plastic. You will now have two straws that are holding a static charge. These straws will act like rods which you will grab to transfer the current of energy to your hands.   With the straws still pinched between your teeth, slide the long sleeves up and down on the straws a few times before sliding the paper off completely. The up and down motion of the paper on the plastic creates the charge. You will now have two straws which have a static charge. With the straws full of static charge, you want to grab each straw and close your fists around the plastic.  Doing this will transfer the static charge from the straws to your hands. Hold the straws for about three seconds. Then let go and drop both straws. Make sure to not touch anything except the dollar you will levitate. It's best to already have your dollar placed on the table so that it is hanging off the edge of the table slightly. Pick the...

This trick will protect your skin from the dye and prevent stains, which can be tough to remove. You can also use a thick lotion or moisturizer to create a protective barrier.  Remember to remove any jewelry you don’t want to get dye on, like earrings or rings. Use a comb to part your hair down the middle. Then part both sections in half horizontally from ear to ear, creating a grid of 4 sections. This will keep any hair you’re not working on out of the way. If you have very thick hair, you can divide your hair into 6 sections. This is the section you’ll start applying dye to first. Make sure your hair is brushed and free of tangles to make applying dye easy. Follow the instructions that come with your kit, and mix the dye with the developer in a disposable bowl. Your kit might come with a squeeze bottle for applying the dye, but using an applicator brush and bowl will make your dye job look more professional. You can find bowls and brushes for hair dye at supermarkets or beauty supply stores. Saturate your brush with the dye and start applying it to your hairline in sections, working your way down your strands to the tip. Make sure all strands in this section of hair are covered with dye.  Your roots need the most color and processing time, so it’s best to apply dye there first, and work your way downwards. Ask a friend to help you apply dye. Certain areas, like the back of your head, can be tricky to do on your own. After you’ve applied dye to one section of hair, comb through it using a wide-tooth comb. This will make sure all your hair is coated with dye, and evens out the amount of dye. Once you’re finished, clip and hold this completed section of hair. Dye and comb the remaining sections until you’ve applied dye to all your hair. Gently massage your scalp to generate heat. Quickly run your fingers through your hair from root to tip to make sure the dye is distributed evenly throughout each section. Then gather your hair up and clip it. While waiting for the dye to set, you can cover your hair with a...

Smooth Vaseline or lip balm along your hairline, ears, and neck. Divide your brushed hair into 4 gridlike sections. Clip back all the sections except for 1 top section near your face. Mix together hair dye and developer in a disposable bowl. Apply the dye to 1 inch (2.5 cm) sections using an applicator brush. Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute dye through each section of hair. Release all your hair to give your hair a quick massage. Cover your hair with a shower cap. Set a timer for the recommended time to leave in your hair dye.

This type of bait comes in a tube and is applied by squeezing the tube to dispense the gel. Apply the gel along window and door trims, behind the trashcan, and along the cabinet doors in your kitchen and bathroom. Also apply bait gel under sinks where the drainpipe enters the wall in your kitchen and bathroom.  Apply gel bait in the crevices and cracks of your kitchen drawers, and along upper shelving and baseboards. If you have children or pets, then make sure to apply the gel in areas that are out of their reach. Bait stations consist of a plastic housing that contains poison. Cockroaches enter through small holes in the housing to retrieve the bait. Make sure to place the bait stations against the walls and in corners in high traffic areas like your kitchen and bathroom.  Place bait stations behind the refrigerator, microwave, oven, toasters, toilet, and other major appliances in your kitchen and bathroom. Also place them underneath your dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, washer, dryer, and hot water heater. Identify high traffic areas by looking for roach droppings. Roach droppings resemble ground black pepper. Sticky traps contain pheromones that will attract the roaches. Upon entering the trap, the roaches will become stuck in it and suffocate. Also place these traps against the walls and in corners in high traffic areas.  Place sticky traps in the same areas you place bait stations. Do not spray sticky traps and bait stations with insecticides or cleaning products. These will contaminate the baits. If the bait is contaminated, then the roaches will not enter.

Use gel baits. Try a bait station. Use a sticky trap.


This type of camisole will have an extra panel on the top half of the shirt with a thick band to hold it in place. This inside panel provides extra support for your chest, which can help flatten it out.  You can buy a camisole where women’s clothing is sold. Using a camisole works best if your breasts are small. The back panel is tighter than the front side, which is looser to accommodate your breasts. Put the top on backwards so the tight side will provide more support, then pull the inside panel down over your breasts. If necessary, use the plastic adjusters on the straps to raise the camisole higher on your chest. Smooth down the fabric and fold a third of the camisole up. Then, fold the camisole again. If necessary, fold it 1 more time so that it’s layered over your chest. The layers will help smooth out your chest.

This type of communication is called “integrative communication” and involves discussing issues openly and in a non-threatening way to reach mutual understanding, or “integration.” Integrative techniques have been shown to have long-term positive effects on relationships. For example, if the person you hurt tries to bring up a pattern of past behavior that they believe is related to your mistake, allow him/her to finish. Pause before you respond. Consider the person’s statements, and try to see the situation from the other person’s perspective, even if you disagree. Don’t lash out, yell, or insult the other person. The nonverbal communication you give while apologizing is just as important as what you say, if not more so. Avoid hunching or slouching, as this could indicate that you are closed to the conversation.  Make eye contact while speaking and listening. Aim for at least 50% of the time while you are speaking, and at least 70% of the time while you are listening. Avoid crossing your arms. This is a sign that you feel defensive and are closed to the other person. Try to keep your face relaxed. You don’t have to force a smile, but if you feel a sour expression or grimace on your face, take a moment to relax those muscles. Use open palms rather than closed hands if you want to gesture. If the person is close to you and it’s appropriate, use touch to convey your emotions. A hug, or a gentle touch on the arm or hand, can communicate how much the other person means to you. Express your empathy toward the other person. Acknowledge the hurt or damage that you did. Acknowledge the other person’s feelings as real and valued.  Studies have shown that when apologies appear to be motivated by feelings of guilt or shame, they are more likely to be accepted by the hurt person. In contrast, apologies motivated by pity are less likely to be accepted, because they seem less sincere.  For example, you could begin an apology by saying “I deeply regret hurting your feelings yesterday. I feel terrible about causing you...

This type of deep pore cleansing facial will clear and brighten skin and can be particularly beneficial for someone suffering from hyperpigmentation (a condition in which patches of skin become darker than the surrounding skin).   Choose a skincare professional that will both treat and advise you. At a minimum, he or she should ask how your skin responds to sun exposure and question your habits regarding sun exposure.   Ask for a consultation. Describe what you hope to achieve from a professional lightening or brightening facial, and discuss your options. Ensure that he or she is willing to describe to you what substances are used in your facial and the results you can expect. Look for natural ingredients, such as vitamins like vitamin C, A, and B3. Fruit acids like glycolic acid are also commonly used and have been shown to work well. Avoid any treatment that uses hydroquinone, which is not uniformly safe and has been banned in Europe and is under examination in the USA. This chemical may cause cancer, rashes, and may even ultimately darken the skin.  NEVER allow the application of any product that contains mercury. Mercury can have a negative impact on your kidneys and nervous system, but is still used in some skin care products.  A reputable and trustworthy professional will never use a facial product containing mercury. Be prepared to repeat these professional facials on a regular basis to maintain these results.

This type of female is recommended for individuals who have limited mobility and can support themselves when sitting or standing. Hand-held devices are also useful if you would like the freedom to dispose of the urine without assistance and reuse the device easily. There are several different styles of hand-held urinals, including:  Jug shaped: This is a common style for female urinals, with a deep and open receptacle that is easy to urinate in. You can use them while standing or sitting. Bottle shaped: This is another common style that consists of a narrow, hollow chamber with an opening that is designed to fit the female anatomy. You can use bottle-shaped urinals when standing or sitting in a chair with your pelvis tilted slightly forward. Some brands of this style are also made use when lying down or on your side. Dish-shaped: This style has a flat base and is shallow, with a cover that surrounds the central opening of the urinal. You can insert this style under you when you are in bed or a chair. A moulding with a drainage bag attached: This style is designed for individuals who are looking for an easy way to dispose of the urine. The small moulding sits between your thighs and drains through a tube into a drainage bag attached to the moulding. You can then dispose of the drainage bag or empty it and reuse it. The moulding is usually cup-shaped, like a funnel, and used when standing or sitting. Body-supporting urinals are useful for individuals who have little to no mobility and require assistance to sit upright or stand upright. These devices are also better for individuals who cannot empty the urinal on their own and need help reusing the urinal. These devices are made to fit under your thighs. You can find body-supporting urinals that are shallow and flat, made for us in a chair or in a bed. There are also body-supporting urinals that resemble bedpans, often used for bedridden patients. Female urinals are not just made for women with an illness or mobility difficulties. You can choose to use a female...

This type of reasoning (also called “bottom-up” thinking) allows you to look for patterns and similarities in all of the data that you’ve observed. Let the data guide you as you make your hypothesis, and avoid deliberately misinterpreting data to support the outcome that you prefer. For example, if you began the experiment thinking that Tide would have the most effective stain remover, but you’ve noticed that Tide does a poor job of removing stains from red wine and mud, you likely need to change your working assumptions. If the data doesn’t support what you thought was true, then you can make a new hypothesis based on what you know now. This is a crucial part of the scientific method: everyone who tests a hypothesis should, by inductive reasoning, be able to revise their hypothesis according to the results that come from observing a large amount of data. So, if Tide turns out to be ineffective at removing certain types of stains, your early working hypothesis will have been incorrect. Once you’ve tested, revised, and tested some more, you can draw a conclusion about your hypothesis. If your initial hypothesis needed improvement (or was flat-out wrong) now is the time to fix that. A good concluding hypothesis should incorporate what you learned from observing and analyzing the full body of data from your experiments. A final, tested hypothesis would look like: “Shout is the most effective stain remover for removing a variety of household stains from a variety of common fabrics.”

This type of sealer sits on top of the concrete, and it is easy to apply. However, it doesn't protect the floor as well as other sealers against oil and grease stains, so if you're sealing a garage, pick a different sealer. You'll often need to apply 2 coats for this sealer to be effective. These seals are very durable, more so than acrylic, though they also sit on top of the concrete. They do protect against grease stains. However, they're difficult to apply because you have to mix 2 parts together and get it down before the epoxy dries out. You can also get these in different colors so you can change the look of your floor while you're at it. These are more durable than epoxy and have UV protection, as well, which means they won't turn yellow over time like acrylic or epoxy might. They do sit on top of the concrete like acrylic and epoxy, but because this seal tends to be thin, it's often used as a top coat over epoxy.  Polyurethane also comes in matte, semi-gloss, and glossy finishes. To check the concrete to see if it has a seal already, pour a little water on it. If it beads up, it already has a seal on it. Polyurethane sealers will go over most other sealers, but if you're not sure what to pick, ask at your local hardware store. Because these sealers penetrate the concrete, they don't make it darker or glossy. It stays the same matte gray. It protects the concrete against liquids and deterioration. It can last 20 years or more.

Pick an acrylic sealer to easily seal interior floors. Choose epoxy sealers for a colorful, durable finish. Try polyurethane sealers for a durable finish you can use over other seals. Opt for silane or siloxane sealers if you don't want the look to change.


This type of skirt looks best when the shirt is tucked into it. The outfit can look shapeless if a loose top is worn with a loose midi skirt. Choose a relatively short, fitted shirt that can be easily tucked into your skirt. A crop top is a great choice to wear with a midi skirt because it allows your waist to be shown off. You can wear a long sleeve, cap sleeve, or a sleeveless crop top. This look works for both a day or night out. A loose shirt can work well if the midi skirt is fitted. Wear a loose sweater or a long sleeve shirt with the skirt. Tuck in the skirt if it is longer than the waist of the skirt. This look works well for a slightly dressed up outfit on a day out. Depending on your dress code, a button-down shirt paired with a midi skirt is great for an office look. You can wear the button-down with a loose, flowing skirt, or a fitted midi skirt. Tuck the shirt into the skirt. A simple T-shirt is great to wear with a midi skirt because it can be dressed up or down. You can wear it loose or fitted, but it should be tucked in. Wear a statement necklace to dress the look up. Wear simple or no jewelry at all to keep it casual.

This type of slime is pretty oozy! A plastic container with a tight-fitting lid is the best storage option, but a plastic freezer bag will also work. Store the slime at room temperature.  Make sure that your hands are clean before you play with the slime to keep it looking clear. If you store it properly in an airtight container, this type of slime should last at least 1 week, if not longer.

Keep the slime in an airtight container when you're not using it.


This type of weedkiller (Roundup, SBM Job Done General Purpose Weedkiller, Doff Glyphosate Weedkiller)  targets the weeds directly, so it usually doesn’t kill other plants that are around the weed. This makes it a great option for flower beds and borders that have thistle sprouts. Try this weedkiller if you want to treat a plot without killing the other plants. You can find one of these weedkillers at a gardening store or online. This type of herbicide (Weedol Lawn Weedkiller, Vitax Lawn Clear 2) typically kills all of the plants in the plot, so it’s typically best for large areas that are overgrown with thistles. Consider this type of herbicide if you don’t think organic treatments will help. You can find a non-selective broadleaf herbicide at a gardening store or online. Mix the herbicide in the container according to the directions. Then, apply the pesticide directly onto the thistle to kill it. Saturate the plants and the soil around them. As you spray the herbicide, try not to get it on the surrounding vegetation.  Make sure you wear your personal protective gear while you’re spraying the herbicide. Put on protective eyewear, a face mask, gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, and pants. The best time to apply the herbicide is during the growing season, which is typically spring and fall. The herbicide will take time to work, so don’t expect immediate results. Monitor the plot of thistle to make sure the herbicide is working after a week. Watch for the thistle to fade in color and turn yellow. Then, it should start to wilt and die. The herbicide will prevent the thistle from getting the nutrients it needs to survive. This causes the thistle to slowly die. Sometimes one treatment isn’t enough to kill off the thistles. If the thistles persist, doing a second or third application of the herbicide may help get rid of the weeds completely. Check the label on your herbicide to find out how long you need to wait before re-applying the product. Then, do another application to treat the thistles. Expect to make at least...

Pick a systemic weedkiller with glyphosate for a bed or border. Get a non-selective broadleaf herbicide with clopyralid for a yard or field. Spray the herbicide onto the plants. Wait about a week for the thistles to start to die. Re-apply the herbicide if thistles reappear in the plot.


This type of white wine is particularly good with fatty fish like salmon, or with seafood that is served in a lush, creamy sauce. It also goes well with dishes that have a strong umami flavor, like mushrooms. If your chardonnay is particularly light, it may also go well with a light seafood dish like oysters. The lightness of the salad complements the light, fresh flavor of most moscatos. However, you may also find that moscato works well when paired with a spicy food, so consider trying it the next time you go out for Thai food! Because moscato has a little bit of sweetness to it, some people also enjoy pairing it with their desserts. In contrast to creamy seafood dishes, try sauvignon blanc with a dish like scallops with grapefruit-onion salad to bring out its full flavor. Conversely, softer varieties of sauvignon blanc may pair better with cheese than seafood. A soft sauvignon blanc also goes well with charcuterie boards. With the full sweetness of riesling, it’s hard to find a better pairing for this wine than a rich, sweet dessert dish. Try it with a fruity summer cobbler or a dish grounded in dark chocolate. If riesling is too sweet for your tastes, try a glass of gewürztraminer instead. Much like moscato, the sweetness of riesling also makes it an interesting pairing with spicier cuisine. Pinot grigio usually works best when paired with seafood-based finger foods, like seafood tostada bites, as they seem to bring out the flavor of the seafood. This is especially the case if you’re drinking a light pinot grigio from Italy. Pinot grigios with stronger fruit notes also tend to go well with salads.

Drink chardonnay with seafood in a rich sauce. Drink moscato with fresh, crisp salad. Combine sauvignon blanc with tangy seafood or cheeses. Have a glass of riesling or gewürztraminer with dessert. Opt for pinot grigio with light seafood dishes.


This unconventional knot can be done entirely with one hand, making it a great choice for when you need to tie your shoes while doing something else. However, this knot requires you to lace your shoes in a special way. This initial lacing is tricky, but not impossible with one hand. Start by tying the lace to one of the top eyelets — the little holes on either side of the tongue that the laces go through. If your shoe isn't already unlaced, pull the lace out until it's completely free (except for the eyelet it's tied to.) Next, re-lace the shoe in a zig-zagging pattern as follows:  Thread the lace through the eyelet at the top that's directly across from it. in other words, if you started at the top left eyelet, thread the lace into the top right one. Pull the lace under and through the eyelet directly beneath the previous one. It should go under the material between the two eyelets, not over it. Thread the lace through the eyelet directly across from it again. Continue this "down, across, down, across" pattern until you reach the last eyelet at the bottom. If there are an even number of eyelets (which there usually are), the lace should end at the side opposite the starting point. If there are an odd number, it will end at the same side. Take the loose end of the lace and bring it back across the tongue of the shoe. Thread it through this eyelet — this may be tricky if you have thick laces, but it should be possible. Use the thumb and index finger of your shoe-tying hand to make a loop that's an inch or so long with the loose end of the lace. If you're using one hand, you can do this by holding the loose part in your palm, then slipping your thumb under it and pushing out. When you have a loop, hold it so that it lays across the lowest straight section of lace at its middle point. The loop should be pointing across the tongue of the shoe. This is the only tricky part of the whole knot. Take one side of the loop that's laying across the lowest straight lace section and pull it under the straight lace and over...

Tie the lace to one of the top eyelets. Use a zig-zagging lace arrangement. Thread the lace back through the second-last eyelet. Make a loop with the slack. Make a second loop and pull it between the two adjacent laces. Tighten the knot and slide it to the eyelet. Undo the knot by pulling the loose end of the lace. Finished.

This usually means getting a rod, reel, and some fishing line to spool on. The rod should only need a 6 to 8 pound test. Perch are smaller fish, and do not require complicated or expensive equipment. You may also want a cooler or stringer to hold you fish, especially if you catch several, or want to keep fishing after a catch. Live bait is best, and perch prefer minnows and insect larva. Many anglers have also found crayfish meat to be popular with perch as well.  Get the right lures. If you can't get live bait, artificial lures such as plugs, jigs, and spinners are good ways to draw in perch.  Yellow, white, and yellow-white designs seem to be the most popular, but perch have been known to favor other colors and designs.  Perch are smaller fish and move quickly, so you'll need a lure that reacts to less movement and is easy for you to keep an eye on. Some states require a fishing license depending on where you fish and what kinds of fish you are searching for. Make sure you know your state's laws, and that your license is up to date. Be sure to check if the license comes with any catch limits. You don't want to get in trouble for taking too many fish. Plus, that isn't fair to other anglers.

This usually takes several minutes. The oven will beep when the temperature inside has reached 350 °F (177 °C). Lay the claws flat in the pan. While it is okay for the claws to touch, do not allow them to overlap or lay on top of one another. Depending on the number of claws you want to cook, you may need to use multiple cooking sheets. Use about 1⁄2  c (0.12 l) of water, or enough to cover the bottom of the pan. The water should not be boiling hot. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. The pan should be wrapped tightly so juices will not spill over. Set a timer on the stove, your phone, or a regular kitchen timer. This will ensure you are alerted when it's time to take the claws out of the oven. Most seafood merchants sell the claws precooked. Thus, you will actually be re-heating them, which is why you want to be careful not to leave the claws in the oven for too long. Place the pan on top of the stove or several pot holders. At this point, you can place the claws on a plate and serve.
