The best way to prevent measles is to get vaccinated against the virus. The measles vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles and works right away. It is considered very safe for use on children, teenagers, and adults. Speak to your doctor about getting the vaccine if you do not have it already.  The vaccine will protect you from contracting measles, even if you are around others who have measles. Your doctor may recommend the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) combination vaccine to reduce the number of shots you need to get during the appointment. In some cases, the MMR vaccine is given in conjunction with the chickenpox virus, known as the MMR-V vaccine. Most people who get the vaccine do not experience any side effects. If you do experience side effects, they will be mild, usually consisting of a fever or a rash. Serious side effects are rare, but can include a high fever and temporary stiffness and pain in your joints. Your doctor should outline any possible side effects before giving you the vaccine.  Infants older than six months can get the measles vaccination safely. Keep in mind there is no credible proof that there is a link between autism and the measles vaccine. The vaccine is considered very safe and effective. It is not linked to any serious health issues. If the child has been exposed to someone with measles, they can get the vaccination as early as six months of age. Otherwise, they should get their first MMR vaccination between 12 and 15 months of age and a second booster at 4 to 6 years of age. If you are an adult, you can get a dose of the vaccine at any age. Your doctor can administer the vaccine in their office. You will feel a slight prick on your arm when you get it but no serious pain. Make sure you get the proper dosage of the vaccine based on your age and whether you have received one dose of the vaccine already. Your doctor should be able to look at your medical records and determine how many doses you need. Once you receive the measles vaccine, get a proof of immunity document...

Speak to your doctor about the vaccination. Discuss the possible side effects of the vaccine. Get the vaccination. Have a proof of immunity on hand.


The best way to remove the tick is to use pointy-edged tweezers, angling the points to ensure that the head of the tick is removed along with the body. Old-fashioned methods, such as soaking it with petroleum jelly or painted the affected site with nail polish, should be avoided as they traumatize the tick, which may then regurgitate its stomach contents (including bacteria) into the dog's bloodstream.  Did you remove the whole tick? If you've jerked or twisted the tick while removing it, the mouth-parts may break off and remain in the skin. You may be able to remove the mouth-parts separately using clean tweezers. You should still be able to identify the tick without the mouth-parts. Put the tick in a vial or lidded jar, or place it on a piece of white paper and use a piece of clear tape to cover it. How many legs does it have? Ticks, like other arachnids, will have eight legs in the nymph and adult stage, but will have only six legs in the larval stage.  If you've put the tick in a jar or vial, watch it move. If it is a tick, it will crawl, but will not be able to fly or jump. Ticks have flattened, tear-shaped bodies at all stages of growth. When engorged, the tick's body will be rounded and its color will be lighter. Deer ticks are smaller than their counterparts, the dog and lone star ticks. Deer tick nymphs are typically the size of a poppy seed, 1 to 2 mm (.039 to .078 inches) in diameter, while adults range from 2 to 3.5 mm (.078 to .137 inches) and are roughly the size of a sesame seed. An engorged tick may be about 10 mm long.  Hard ticks, such as the deer tick, have a scutum or shield covering the body. Soft ticks do not have this feature. A magnifying glass can be helpful, as ticks in pre-adult stages are quite small.  The scutum is the hard section behind the tick's head. A deer tick will have a solid-color scutum, while the shield of other ticks is patterned.  The scutum can also provide information about the gender of the tick.The scutum of the adult male will cover most of the body, while that...

Remove the tick from its host, if necessary. Confirm that it's a tick. Examine the tick's "scutum," or shield.


The best way to set a solid foundation is to thoroughly understand the rules of the grading game. Does your teacher give more points for one assignment over another? If so, it might behoove you to pay more attention to one assignment over another. If you are in high school, are some classes worth more — e.g. AP courses? If so, you’ll want to concentrate your efforts there. In most states, AP classes are actually worth more towards your overall GPA, but the classes are more demanding. This is not to mention that AP courses replace college courses. So if you'd like to skip core or introductory college classes, then focus on your AP studies. Look at previous syllabi and talk to other students. Figure out what each class looks like ahead of time and pick the one that seems the easiest. In any educational program, you’ll have a set of mandatory classes and electives. Sometimes, the elective courses can be filled by a variety of subjects. If your goal is to “get good grades with no effort”, choose a subject you feel comfortable with, you think is easy, or you’ve already mastered. Keep in mind that there is no universal “easy A” class. It all depends on the teacher. A “shop” class can be very easy or really difficult. So too can a trigonometry class be a piece of cake or a terrible experience. Use a day planner to schedule your class time, study time, and time for all of the other activities you have to complete over the course of the semester. At the beginning of the year, map out when your assignments are due and even include reminders to get started on assignments. Time management is the key to getting good grades efficiently. Many of us have a tendency to put school work off. Time with family and friends seem to take greater preference especially as the deadline for a particular assignment seems so far away. In order to do well in school, you need to start at the beginning of term. Get a solid foundation at the beginning of the school year so you aren’t stressing at the end. Get good grades from the beginning....

Figure out your school’s or teacher’s grading policies. Pick easy classes. Plan out your time wisely. Start studying early on.


The best way to start detoxing your colon is to eliminate the foods that are causing problems. Start to eliminate all the foods that are a burden to your liver and your colon. This includes coffee, white sugar, white flour, dairy, and alcohol. Stop eating processed sweets, which are full of white sugar and flour. Also avoid excess amounts of cheese or ice cream. There are certain foods that will help you detox your body. These include vegetables in the Brassica family, such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, collard greens, and cabbage. These vegetables contain many nutrients and specific complexes called sulforaphanes that are very important in helping your body detox.   Also make sure to eat plenty of fiber, because fiber-rich foods scrub the walls of the colon and push food through the intestines quickly. Some great high-fiber foods are green vegetables, apples, berries, and brown rice.  High fiber consumption can improve colon health by helping remnants inside the colon pass through. If you have never been tested for food intolerances, you may want to visit a doctor or natural doctor to have this done. Eating foods that your body has an intolerance to slows down colon functioning and increases the likelihood of bowel toxicity. There are certain foods that will help reduce the toxins in your blood. Studies have shown that chlorophyll reduces the absorption of toxins and helps with toxin excretion. Dark, leafy greens are very high in chlorophyll. Increase your intake of spinach, kale, collard greens, parsley, wheatgrass and seaweed. Try incorporating these into every meal. Add your eggs to a bed of steamed kale or throw some spinach and wheatgrass in a smoothie. You can also buy dried seaweed chips as a snack. Probiotics are good for overall colon health and also specifically help with detoxification. Probiotics decrease an enzyme in your body that causes your colon to hold onto toxins instead of excreting them. While it is a good idea to take a probiotic capsule every day for general health,...

Avoid certain foods. Eat foods that help your body detox. Eliminate all food allergies and intolerances. Eat foods rich in chlorophyll to reduce toxins. Take probiotics. Drink more water.


The best way to stick to a budget is to plan your meals one week in advance. Decide which meals you want to make for the upcoming week and make a detailed grocery list of needed ingredients. Be sure to take the list with you when you go shopping, so that you’ll only pick up the items that you need. As you’re planning your meals, take into account which food products are on sale and where, and do your shopping at those places. By sticking to your shopping list and creating planned meals around sales, you can save even more money. Don’t forget to check the newspaper for coupons and additional ways to save. Not only will seasonal fruits and veggies be easier to find, they will also be available in abundance for a much lower price than usual. When they’re in season, fruits and veggies tend to be at their tastiest, making them ideal foods to stock up on.  When fruit and vegetables aren’t in season, buy canned or frozen varieties, which are generally cheaper while still offering great nutritional benefits. Along with your local grocery stores’ produce section, also check out any farmer’s markets in your area for even more options and organic produce at a low price. Check out what’s currently in your pantry. For instance, do you have some canned food items pushed to the very back of your pantry that have been in there awhile? Plan a few meals around those.  According to the USDA, the least-expensive vegetables are eggplants, lettuce, carrots and tomatillos.  The least-expensive fruits are apples, peaches, pineapples, pears, bananas and watermelon. For low-cost sources of protein, opt for canned tuna, ground beef and eggs.

Plan ahead. Check out current grocery store sales. Use seasonal fruits and vegetables. Incorporate foods that you already have and buy low-cost items.


The best way to treat this disease is to alter watering practices and allow for dryer conditions. If that isn’t possible, you can treat your strawberries with organic fungicides like Captan 50 WP and Copper compounds. Pathogens harbored in the soil from previous crops can be the disease culprit, so the best means of control are proper crop rotation methods. Unfortunately, there are no easy soil or chemical treatments recommended for Verticillium treatment. Strawberries exposed to lower levels of nitrogen seem to withstand the disease better than plants exposed to high levels of nitrogen, so one way to fight the disease is to use fertilizer with lower levels of nitrogen.

The better quality of garlic you use for your sauce, the tastier and more flavorful your sauce will be. Cut the garlic cloves in half lengthwise and remove any green stem. This part of the garlic can make your sauce taste bitter. Make sure the fruit is ripe, and rub it on a cutting board or other flat surface to get the juice ready to release. Most toum recipes call for canola oil, grapeseed oil or sunflower oil. You can also use olive oil or any vegetable oil you prefer to cook with.  Some people do not use eggs in their Lebanese garlic sauces, others feel that the egg white makes the sauce creamier. This is a matter of personal taste, and you might want to try it both ways. Try making the sauce in your food processor without the egg white, and go ahead and use the egg white if you decide to use a blender instead.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Find fresh garlic. Look for a juicy lemon. Use your favorite oil. Have salt and ice water ready to add to your garlic sauce for flavor and to thin out any sauce that seems too thick. Decide whether you want to use an egg white.


The better warmed up you are, the more easily oxygen will be able to travel through your bloodstream. Always perform a satisfactory warm up before setting out on a run. Move your thighs, hips knees and ankles through their full ranges of motion, continuously for five minutes or more. Move around enough to get your heart beating faster and your blood pumping. Do some slow, deep breathing as you warm up to prepare your lungs to meet the demands of exertion.  Warming up loosens up the muscles and improves circulation, which means oxygen can be carried more efficiently to different parts of the body. A proper warm up will also help you ease soreness and avoid injury. If you often find yourself short of breath while you’re running, it might just mean that you’re out of shape. Schedule a couple more running sessions throughout the week and supplement these sessions with weight training, stretching or another form of exercise. Don’t push yourself to do too much too soon. Build up your cardiovascular conditioning gradually until you’re ready for longer, more intense runs.  If you’re a new runner, start small and work your way up. Try walking and jogging first and increase your speed little by little until you can handle the stress of running long distances. You’ll find that as you run more, your breathing will get better naturally. When you’re first learning how to breathe while running, it can help to stay mindful of the tempo and quality of your breathing. Focus on taking deep, regular breaths. Consciously thinking about your breathing might be a little distracting at first, but in time it will become second nature and your performance will improve dramatically. Efficient breathing is paramount to becoming a good runner. Take note of how you feel after completing a run of a certain length or intensity, and how different breathing methods affect your performance. If a certain breathing technique or tempo isn’t working for you, try to find one that does. Matching your breathing to your pace can be a helpful trick,...

Warm up thoroughly. Run more frequently. Pay attention to your breathing. Do what feels natural.


The better you are at talking to people, the more friends you’ll make, which is an important skill to have.  When speaking to someone, really listen to them and ask them follow-up questions to learn more. You can also use their name often, because people tend to respond positively to hearing their name. For instance, you might say, “So Josh, it sounds like you really like your job!  Are you planning on working there long-term?” When you look great, you feel great, so take pride in your appearance.  Wake up early in the mornings so you can spend time perfecting your look.  Take a shower, shave, and fix your hair in the perfect style.  Make sure you have on clean, well-fitting, unwrinkled clothes.  Pick the perfect accessories, like a belt or a watch to complement your outfit.  You can wear something like a cool pair of high-waisted jeans with an off-shoulder top.  You can also choose something like fresh new kicks with a sports jersey. You can also put on some makeup or cologne to go the extra mile. Show your friend (and yourself) how tough you are by hitting the gym often. Focus on building the best body possible so you can show off and feel good about yourself. You can take classes at the gym, workout from home, or go for a run in your neighborhood. Be a boss at everything to show the world that you can do it all.  Get to class or work a few minutes early each day.  When you do your homework, look over it to make sure you haven’t made any errors.  Study so you’ll be the best at what you do!  The more you accomplish, the closer you’ll be to your goals. Start your day by reminding yourself how great you are! Before you leave your house, look yourself in the mirror and say positive and uplifting things.  And remember, life isn’t about making your friend jealous, so don’t to make this last longer than a couple of weeks.  A true friendship shouldn’t have so much jealousy. Focus on your own happiness and life will be great! You might say, “Cara, you are awesome!  You’re gonna do awesome things today!  You are...

The bigger the gap, the better it teases out the curls. Choose a comb with sturdy teeth, that won't break against your hair. If you struggle to get a comb through, use one of these treatments before you begin combing:  If your hair feels extra greasy, apply dry shampoo, followed by dry conditioner. If your hair isn't greasy, but still hard to brush, use detangling spray, coconut oil, or olive oil. Divide your hair into front right, back right, front left, and back left sections, and clip them apart. Divide each of these sections in half again if your hair is extra thick. Comb each section with downward motions. Start near the end of your hair, teasing out knots before moving to a slightly higher position. Be careful not to snag knots too hard or you'll rip the hair from the root. If your comb gets stuck, work the hair off it with your fingers and try again. Wet hair is sometimes easier and less painful to comb, but is also more likely to break or split. If your scalp is sensitive, wet your hair and try again. For better results, try the following:  Wet hair and apply conditioner. Leave in for one hour. Rinse out conditioner. Pat dry with a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt, then comb. Do not use a towel, as the friction from towels adds frizz to your hair. If you treated your hair with oil, get rid of it with an application of dry shampoo.

Find a wide-toothed comb. Treat with hair products. Divide the hair into at least four sections. Comb out your hair. Wet your hair if combing causes pain. Clean out hair products.


The bigger the head, the more power you put on the ball (if everything else -- racket length, swing, etc.-- stays consistent). This is one of the biggest choices you'll make when picking a racquet, as more power frequently leads to less control. Do you typically over hit the ball, or do you want a little more power without altering your swing? Check your current head size and adjust accordingly.  Oversized and large heads are usually 106-118 square inches, but they can get as big as 120-30 square inches for power racquets. Smaller control racquets usually have a head size around 85-94 square inches. For beginners, shoot for something closer to 100 square inches or above. Head heavy racquets are best for baseline play and beginners and are usually found on power racquets. They are slightly weighted up near the top, and this makes them slightly less maneuverable. Intermediate and advanced players usually prefer a head-light or balanced racquet.  If you go for a lot of net play, try out a head-light racquet for its increased maneuverability. If you're unsure what to get, or play a varied style of tennis, get a balanced racquet, which evenly distributes its weight. The racquet itself is not the only thing that affects your play. The way the strings are aligned, in either an open or closed ("dense") stringing, will affect your power, control, and spin:   Open stringing offers more spin, which means you can hit the ball harder with top spin. These strings, however, are more likely to break.  Closed/Dense stringing offers more control for shot placement, and are better for beginners. A racquet flexibility is given by a rating from 0-100, with 100 being the stiffest option available. Most racquets fall between 45-75 on the scale:  Lower numbers indicate more control and spin, less power, and a more comfortable feel. Higher numbers indicate more power, but also more vibrations in the racquet. Some beginners actually feel like they get more control on them because the lack of bend makes them feel a little more natural....

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Know that a larger head size transfers more power to the ball. Choose head-heavy racquets for added power and stability. Consider your stringing pattern. Use flexible racquets for more power but less control. Check the beam width, the triangle under the racquet head, to gauge power potential.


The bigger the marshmallow, the more delicious your treat. You can start with an ordinary-sized marshmallow, a smaller marshmallow, or even a jumbo-sized marshmallow. As long as it can be firmly placed on the wooden skewer, the process will work.  Place a marshmallow onto a wooden skewer. You should poke the skewer about halfway up the center of the bottom of the marshmallow. If you have a large marshmallow, a popsicle stick can work instead of a skewer. If you want the coating around the marshmallow to be hard, then stick them in the freezer. It could take a few hours for them to harden -- just keep checking until they are as hard as you would like them to be. And if you don't want to freeze them, set them aside for at least ten minutes so they cool off a bit before you enjoy them. If you're just waiting for your marshmallow pops to cool off, you can place them in a tall glass like flowers in a bouquet so you don't smear them by laying them down flat. Once your marshmallow pop has hardened in the freezer or just cooled off, hold onto your skewer and bite into your marshmallow pop. Enjoy the rich and gooey taste and take pride in a job well done.

The biggest mistake you can make when frosting your cake is using a hot cake and cold frosting. If your cake is even slightly warm, it will melt the icing which will then run over the edges and soak into the top layer, making it soggy. Further, if you use cold frosting it won’t be smooth enough to spread and will bring up a lot of crumbs.  Always wait for both your cake and your frosting to reach room temperature. This may take several hours of waiting but is necessary for a completely smooth cover of frosting. If you are leaving your cake to cool on the counter, place a slice of regular sandwich bread on the top of the cake. This will keep it moist and protect it from going stale. When you baked your cake, likely the center rose into a small dome. While this is perfectly normal, it prevents your cake from having a completely smooth layer of frosting as the dome will eventually lead the frosting to slide towards the sides. To keep this from happening, use a serrated edge knife (cake knife preferably) to slice a thin layer horizontally off the top of the cake, so that the top and bottom of the cake run parallel to each other.  When possible, cut the top layer of the cake off while the cake is still in the pan. This will help you to get a more level surface. If you are making a layered cake, cut the top layer off of all the layers of cake you will be using. When your cake is cooled and cut to size, prepare it for frosting by placing it on a round piece of cardboard or cake bottom. Add strips of wax paper about 2” thick to the edges of the cake along the bottom. When you finish frosting the cake, the wax paper will be removed and reveal a smooth bottom. It is easiest to frost your cake on a spinning cake stand, which are available at most kitchen, craft, and cooking stores.  Get your cake frosting tools, including an offset spatula and bench scraper to smooth the icing. Don’t use a knife or rubber spatula, as these may be easy to use but will not give the desired smooth frosting you’re looking for. If you want,...

The biggest opportunity for publishing an eBook is Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing. You can easily upload your manuscript to the KDP program and begin to sell copies.  Kindle Direct Publishing will accept a variety of file formats when uploading. Kindle uses a Mobi format to output the eBook so that eReaders can read it. But when uploading you can upload your manuscript as an HTML, Doc/Docx, RTF, Mobi, or ePub. Use can use a program like Calibre to convert your manuscript to Mobi or ePub before uploading if you wish.  This sometimes makes the uploading easier and keeps any images or forms in your book intact. In addition to the file type that you upload your manuscript in, you’ll also have to decide if you want a standard eBook format or a fixed layout format.   Standard formats are typically ePub and Mobi files. These formats allow readers to adjust the size of the text in an eReader. Note that in this form, there isn’t a set pagination as the size of the text will adjust how many words appear on a page. This format is good for text-heavy books. Fixed layouts are better used in comics, children’s books, and books with a lot of pictures and graphs. This format preserves the qualities of a printed page. It’s more like looking at photos of a page on an eReader than reading “living” text. Amazon has a few eBook publishing options. The standard is the KDP service. There’s also KDP Select. This is the “premium” version of Kindle Direct Publishing. Though both are free to upload.  The standard KDP service allows you to upload your book to Amazon’s service for free. There’s no charge to upload the file. Author’s will receive about 30-35% of royalties while Amazon keeps the rest. The KDP Select service gives Amazon an exclusive on your digital book for 90 days, meaning you can’t upload it anywhere else. You do receive closer to 70% of royalties.

The biggest question to ask yourself before trying to sleep at work is, "Would I get fired if my boss caught me?" If the answer is a clear yes, you may be better off avoiding the daytime nap altogether.  Some companies may have specific policies that prohibit sleeping on the job. Others may have a general policy about productivity. If you're unsure about what you can and can't do, try talking to someone in human resources before you attempt to sleep at work. If you're allowed to nap or can otherwise get away with it (by napping on your own time, for example), then you may be able to proceed with caution. Naps won't benefit everyone, but if you have a busy and demanding afternoon ahead, a quick nap might help you be more productive and efficient for the rest of the day.  If you have a big project that requires your undivided attention, you may benefit from a nap. If you'll be operating heavy machinery or needing to drive home after work and you're struggling to stay awake, a nap could help. Not everyone will feel better or more productive after a nap. Some people just get groggy no matter how short the nap is, while others may be getting enough sleep each night and simply won't need a nap.  If you generally feel well-rested, a nap will probably not help you at work. If you often have a hard time falling asleep at night, napping during the day may make it worse. Avoid napping and instead focus on getting a good night's rest every evening. If you can't or shouldn't nap at work, try drinking a caffeinated beverage (like coffee or tea) instead. It'll give you an energy boost and keep you wakeful through the workday.

Make sure your job won't be in jeopardy. Nap if you have a busy afternoon ahead. Avoid naps if they won't help.


The biggest risk factor for coming down with malaria is either living in or traveling to tropical countries where the infection is common.  The most risky areas are African countries south of the Sahara Desert, most of the Asian subcontinent, Haiti, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that 90% of all malaria deaths occur in Africa — mostly in kids younger than five years. Approximately 1,500 cases of malaria are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, mostly in returned travelers. People with immature or weakened immune systems are especially susceptible of getting infected by Plasmodium parasites and developing malaria. This group includes infants, children younger than five years, pregnant women, the elderly and patients with HIV/AIDS. As such, don't travel to high-risk countries if you are in this group and/or don't bring young children with you.  Strong immune systems can fight off malarial infections, which means the majority of people bitten by infected mosquitoes either don't get the disease or develop only mild short-term symptoms. Supplements that can boost your immune system include: vitamins A, C and D, zinc, selenium, echinacea, olive leaf extract and astragalus root. Be aware that these will not prevent malaria or its consequences. The Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria primarily infect the liver, but also the red blood cells within blood. Consequently, people can also catch malaria by being exposed to contaminated (infected) blood. Common modes of transmission due to contaminated blood include blood transfusions, sharing needles to inject drugs and childbirth (from an infected mother to her unborn child).  Hemophiliacs and people who lose lots of blood from injuries are at higher risk of malaria from blood transfusions, particularly if they life in Africa or Asia. Malaria is not considered an STD (sexually transmitted disease), although there is a small chance of contracting it via sexual practices if the blood from one partner...

Be very cautious of underdeveloped tropical areas. Be particularly careful if your immune system is weak. Avoid contaminated blood. Take preventative measures if traveling to at-risk areas.


The binding should be sewn not only onto the bag but also the lining. Hand stitch the binding into place. Sew the fabric handle and then pin one end inside the bag, just below the binding fabric.     Wrap the other end around so that it joins the original end inside the bag and pin it in order to secure it to the binding.     Sew the fabric handle in place. Add any jewels or adornments you’d like to include to personalize the bag.    ”  The Pellon will line the inside of the bag, provide sturdiness and an area to hold a plastic bag.  Roll Pellon into a circle and sew the edges so it creates a cylinder shape.  Consider using a sewing machine for a quick stitch or you can hand sew.     Slide Pellon into the bag and sew it into the lower area of the bag.  A few stitches will help secure the Pellon in place. Allow some room between the binding and the Pellon so that a plastic bag can be dropped into the bag and fit securely around the Pellon inside the bag.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Sew the binding to the bag approximately 1” below the top of the bag. Fold the binding over the top of the bag and pin inside the bag, securing it to the lining. Fold the handle fabric in half lengthwise and secure the ends with pins. Cut the Pellon to 8” x 18. Finished.


The binding should be strong, and it's usually easier to write and sketch if it can lay open flat on a table. Choose a book that's large enough to hold regular 5x7 inch postcards too.  Opt for a journal that's small enough that it's easy to carry in your bag wherever you go. A journal with acid-free paper is usually a good investment because it will ensure that your writing and sketches will hold up for years. You'll want to have pens that you're comfortable actually writing with, but you should also have tools for sketching sights that you see and embellishing other materials that you're adding to the journal.  Gel pens are a good option because they can write over most materials with ease and come in a wide variety of colors. Using watercolors directly in your journal can get messy, so you may prefer painting on postcards or other scraps of paper and then adding them to the notebook. When it comes time to adhering photos, postcards, and other materials in your journal, you'll need some type of adhesive to attach them. Glue sticks work well because they're not messy and are easy to throw in your travel bag. However, you can also use decorative tape to fix your travel mementos to the journal pages. Washi tape works well for travel journals because it comes in a variety of colors and patterns. You can find it at your local craft store. You may want to trim some of the materials that you place in your journal, so it's a good idea to have scissors with you. A ruler can help you cut a straight edge or write in a straight line if your journal is unlined.  Consider bringing two pairs of scissors with you: one regular and one craft. Craft scissors have a decorative edge, such as scalloped or zig zag, that can help give your journal a more distinctive look. If you're flying, don't put scissors in your carry-on bag. You'll have to surrender them to security. You'll be collecting various materials to add to your journal throughout your trip, and you may not want to take the time to attach them all right away. To stay...

The bladder is controlled by several muscle groups. Those groups include the sphincter muscles, the abdominal wall muscles, and one additional muscle that is part of the bladder itself. The most common culprit behind bladder spasms is the detrusor smooth muscle, which is the main muscle composing the bladder wall.  The detrusor muscle consists of smooth muscle fibers that are part of the wall of the bladder. The detrusor muscle contracts, along with the abdominal wall muscles, to empty the contents of the bladder into the urethra. However, all of the muscle groups are involved in emptying the bladder and may be a part of the problem, so you should see your doctor for a full diagnosis.  The sphincter muscle provides a tightening at the opening of the bladder to prevent urine from passing. When the brain signals the muscles that it is time to release urine from the bladder, the sphincter muscle relaxes to allow the urine flow to pass through the urethra.  The urethra is the tube that connects your bladder to the outside.  The muscles of the abdominal wall are in a relaxed state when the bladder is empty and as it gradually fills with urine. The abdominal wall muscles gently expand as the bladder expands.  The abdominal wall muscles and the sphincter muscles work together to provide bladder control. When the brain says it is time to release urine, the abdominal wall muscles contract, or tighten, and press on the bladder to force the urine into the urethra.  The muscles and the nervous system work together to effectively communicate with the brain and provide voluntary control over emptying your bladder. A problem with any of the muscles or nerves involved can contribute to bladder spasms. The nerves that are built into the bladder area are part of a complex communication pathway that sends messages to, and receives messages from, the brain.  Nerves that are part of the bladder and abdominal wall area tell the brain when the bladder is full and it needs to be emptied. This is translated as a feeling of pressure...

Consider weakened muscles. Be aware of possible nerve damage that can cause bladder spasms. Rule out an infection. Review your medications with your doctor. Use the appropriate catheter for your condition. Realize that more than one reason may be at work.


The blanket stitch is as much decoration as it is functional. Regular stitching with the same space between each one will make your finished product look nice and even. You can also alter the vertical stitches for a unique look if you choose. For example, you could have one stitch closer to the edge and the next farther from the edge, then closer again and so on. Because the blanket stitch is decorative it is better to choose a slightly thicker thread. This way it will stand out against your fabric. It should be whichever color you prefer to go along with your fabric.

Keep in mind the need for regular stitching when sewing blanket stitch. Choose your thread.


The blocks can be as high or low as you want and will give you the stability to hold your splits slightly higher. Choose a stable but movable material like wood or hard foam. Make sure your low lunge is stable and comfortable and that you don’t feel any pain or discomfort before moving on. You can find blocks at fitness or yoga stores and online. Allow your back knee to hit the floor with your toe pointed. Shift your hips backwards and lengthen your front leg as far as you can, leaning your weight on the blocks for support. If your blocks are smaller or easily movable, you can also walk them backwards with your hands to shift your center of balance. Stop immediately if you feel any pain in your legs. Stay in your modified split for at least five breaths, allowing your legs to relax into the pose. Slowly swing your back leg around to release the pose, then repeat with your other leg forward. Starting again from your forward lunge, slowly straighten both legs and walk your hands back on the ground, tenting your fingertips for extra space. Slide a block underneath your front leg, placing it below your thigh and above your knee. This will give your leg support if you can’t reach all the way to the ground just yet. Mix your block-assisted splits in with your stretching routine to further increase your flexibility. Doing these modified exercises will also help you get used to the feeling of doing the splits before attempting the whole thing. Take your time and don’t rush your way into a full splits, as this could result in injury. Practice your modified versions for as long as it takes you to feel confident and comfortable doing them.

Get into a low lunge position with your hands on two blocks. Release your back leg. Hold this pose and breathe deeply. Place a block beneath your thigh for a more supportive modification. Practice your modified splits for about a month.


The blossom end has the small brown circle on it. The end has an enzyme that can make your pickles softer, and a bit more soggy, which inhibits the pickling process. Mix in ten 5–6 inch (12.7–15.2 cm) pickling cucumbers, 2 cups of water, 1 3/4 cups of white vinegar, 1 1/2 cups of chopped fresh dill,  1/2 cup of white sugar, 8 cloves of chopped garlic, 1 1/2 tbsp. of coarse salt, 1 tbsp. of pickling spice, 1 1/2 tsp. of dill seed, and 1/2 tsp. of red pepper flakes. Stir thoroughly to combine the ingredients. This will be long enough for the salt and sugar to dissolve. Distribute them as evenly as you can -- three pickles in two jars, and four pickles in the third. The pickles should be completely submerged in the liquid. This will add even more of a dill flavor to the pickles. Make sure to seal them tightly. These pickles should be refrigerated for at least 10 days before you eat them. After that, they will last one month. Enjoy these simple dill pickles as a side with your next sandwich.

The blowout hairstyle, also known as a temple fade or taper fade, first became popular in the 1990s, but has recently become famous thanks to Paul-D from Jersey Shore.The blowout hairstyle consist of short sideburns and longer sides with a large amount of hair on the crown, which is usually gelled upwards. As the result, this hairstyle may cause the wearer to look like they've been electrocuted! To achieve a blowout haircut, you will need the proper equipment. This includes a hair clipper with at least 5 hair guards, a t-liner outliner, a pair of hair shears, hair combs and some hair gel. Using the t-liner, create the first guideline on the back of the neck and the beginning of the sideburns. The length of the hair in this guideline varies according to personal preference, but it will usually be somewhere between 0 levels and 1 levels. Next grab your number four guard with the clippers closed and create a second guideline which extends about 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) above the original guideline. This will help you to see how much room you have to work with. Using a number 3 clipper guard, start blending the first and second guidelines together, using an outward motion. To avoid having your blowout look like a mushroom cut, use a clipper over comb technique to cut the hair next to the guidelines. This helps to soften the blowout by creating a taper effect. Once you have finished tapering the back of the neck and the sideburns, use the hair shears to cut the hair on top of the head and above the ears to the desired length. It can be as long or short as you wish. Once you have finished with the shears and are happy with your blowout haircut, use some hair gel to spike the hair on top of your head to give it a neater, more polished look.

The book can be simple or ornate. If you're happy with a simple journal, then just buy a basic college-ruled notebook. If you want something more serious, look for a nice leather-bound journal – perhaps even one with a lock and key!  Choose between a lined or an unlined notebook. A lined notebook can be better for writing, while an unlined notebook might facilitate art and drawing. Think about how you prefer to set down your ideas, and choose a notebook that inspires you to fill it. If you plan to carry your notebook with you (in your purse, pack, or pocket,) make sure to use a notebook that is small enough to conveniently pack around. Make the journal your own by infusing it with a unique style. Personalize the covers with words, art, stickers, and colors. Take clippings from your favorite magazines, and post them on the inside or outside of the journal. If decoration isn't your thing, then feel free to leave the journal plain! Consider numbering the pages. You can do this all at once, or you can gradually number the pages as you fill them. This can be a great way to keep track of what you write. This can be a secure and easy-access means of preserving your thoughts. Log your entries in Microsoft Word or another basic word processor. Save the entries in a special folder, or compile them into a single, canonical document.  Consider using a system that you can access with a password through a cloud or over the Internet. This way, you can open and edit your journal from any computer or device! Try WordPress, or even using your email client. For all the benefits of digital journal-keeping, you may miss the charm of a physical journal. Try it out, if you're curious. Consider keeping some notes in a physical notebook, and others in a drive on your computer.

The bottom 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) of the wick should be sticking out of the bottom of the plastic circle. If you cut an X into the plastic, it may already be stable enough. If it isn't, slide the wick into one of the slits making up the X. If you cut the circle from a plastic bottle, the shorter end should be sticking out of the domed part of the circle; the longer end should be sticking out of the cupped part.

The bouquet size should match your own size and the grandeur of the venue. Large bouquets suit large church weddings and beaches, while smaller ones fit well into intimate spaces. As a good rule of thumb, the bouquet should be no wider than the bride's waist. Keep comfort in mind as well: large bouquets can be tiring to hold.  Most bridal bouquet diameters range from 8 inch (20cm) to 13 inches (33cm). Get more flowers than you need. The number of flowers depends on the variety. Fifteen to thirty flowers is typical, but order spares as well. You may change your mind or come up with a new idea as you are building the bouquet.

The bow needs to be secured to the stock to ensure proper use. You need to have the strings in the correct place for the crossbow to be effective.  Use duct tape to secure the PVC pipe to the stock by wrapping it around the pipe and the end of the wood stock. Only the firing string coming out of the pulleys should be on top of the wood. The other two strings should be on the bottom so they don't interfere with the firing process.     You need to test to make sure the strings are in the right place and the bow will fire correctly.  Draw back the firing string and place it in the string notch on the rectangle hole. It should be able to stay notched and ready by itself. If the string will not stay notched, you need to make the groove deeper to hold the string.

The bowl or container you choose needs to be big enough to hold the pencil case. If it has dirt, leftover food, or anything else that would interfere with the pencil case, clean it out with soap and warm water. The water should appear clean. Cloth such as nylon, polyester, and cotton can be cleaned this way, but the water should not be hot or else it can wear out the fabric. A small amount of laundry or liquid detergent is needed. The label should state that it is suitable for washing clothes. All you need is a small amount to ensure that the water becomes soapy. Mix the soap in with a spoon or other tool until bubbles appear. Leaving it for approximately 15 minutes. This should take care of most of the stains and smells. Make sure the soapy water gets all the way through the cloth and gets inside any pouches. Alternatively, dip a soft rag into the water and then use it to scrub away any marks. Run it under the warm water again. Flip it and open up the pouches so that the water takes out all of the soap. Find a shady place to hang the case, if possible, or otherwise find a way to hold it up so the water drips off of it. Drying the case out too fast with warmth can wrinkle it or leave fabric bumps. The sun also wears out cloth and fades colors.

The bowl or pan needs to be big enough so there is enough room to mix the chicken in with the marinade, and have the marinade coat the chicken completely. Keep the chicken in big pieces, and on the bone. Keeping the chicken on the bone will create a stock once the chicken is being cooked, adding a nice, full flavor to the biryani. One by one add the marinade ingredients to the chicken:  Ginger garlic paste - 2 tbsp Red chili powder - 1 tbsp Salt - to taste (approximately 1 tsp) Yogurt - 1 cup Garam Masala Powder - 1 tsp Green cardamom powder - 1 tsp Cumin powder - 1 tsp Turmeric - 1/2 tsp Fried brown onions - 1 cup Ghee (clarified butter) - 4 tbsp Freshly chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) - 1/4 cup Mint leaves (no stalk) 10-15 2-4 green chilies (broken or cut) Lemon juice - 1 tbsp Mix all the ingredients until they are dispersed thoroughly, and the chicken pieces are completely covered with the marinade mixture. Once the chicken is coated with all the spices and flavorings, let it marinade. There is a wide range of how long you can let the chicken marinade. You can marinade the chicken overnight to ensure the chicken absorbs all the flavors, or you can marinade it for less time. However, give the chicken a minimum of 4 hours to marinade to set in. Once you are finished with the marinading the chicken, cover and place the chicken in the refrigerator, and work on the other parts of the biryani.

The box can be plain, or it can be decorated. Craft stores sell many beautiful cardboard boxes that would be perfect for storing bracelets. You can make the box all one color, or use different colors for the inside and the outside. If you want to add designs to your box, paint the background color first, let it dry, then add the designs. If your bracelets are delicate, consider covering the inside of your box with velvet. You will need these measurements to make your dividers. This will give you several long compartments for you to store your bracelets in. If you want a half-sided compartment, then cut several shorter pieces of cardboard to use as a divider between two compartments. You can match the color to the inside of the box, or use a contrasting color. Paint one side and let it dry first. Flip the pieces over, then paint the other side. If you covered the inside of your box with velvet, then you might want to use velvet for this as well. Coat the bottom and side edges of a divider with liquid glue, and slide it into the box. It should fit snuggly. If it flops over, consider bracing it with a heavy object, such as a jar. If you need to reinforce the dividers, wait until the glue dries, then draw a line of glue between the seams. If you are using shorter dividers: glue in all of the long/horizontal dividers first, then add in the short/vertical dividers. You can take the tube out to remove the bracelets whenever you want. To add a tube, follow the directions below.  Cut the paper towel tube down until it is at least an 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) wider than your box. Paint the tube, or cover it with velvet fabric. Cut deep grooves into each side of the box, wide and deep enough for the paper towel to sit in. Slip your bracelets onto the tube. Set the tube down into the grooves.

Consider adding a paper towel tube for the bracelets that need to be draped. Finished.


The box should have a label that includes shoe size, country of production, and a barcode. Use your phone to scan the barcode. The barcode should correspond to the type of shoe in the box.  To scan a barcode with your phone, go to the app store that corresponds with your phone. Search for barcode reader apps. Some reliable programs include ShopSavvy and ScanLife. When you are ready to scan a barcode, open the app and use the camera on your phone to run it.   If there is no label, the shoes are fake. Vans are almost always at least $40 per pair. If someone is selling new Vans for less than that, they are likely fake. There should be paper inside the box to protect the shoes from getting scuffed up. If there is no paper, the shoes are likely fake. Even the boxes on Vans shoes are well made. There should be a locking mechanism. A tab on the top of the box will be inserted on the inside of the box, holding it closed. Cheap imitations often have no locking mechanism. The top will drape over the bottom of the box, with nothing holding it in place. Each pair of Vans shoes should come with a paper tag tied on to it, sporting the company logo. If you have a real pair on hand, compare the size and font of the paper tags. Fake Vans will often have bigger paper tags. Look up the dealer's name or business online. See if reviews for the dealer are positive. Be sure that the dealer has published their contact information. If they are unwilling to share their phone number or physical address, they might be fake.

The breath-holding technique temporarily increases the amount of carbon dioxide in your blood which is suppose to help with relaxation and reduce anxiety.  Before using this technique while peeing, practice holding your breath.  Start by holding your breath for 10 seconds and seeing how you feel. Increase the length you hold your breath by 5-10 seconds at a time.  Always stop and assess how you’ve reacted to holding your breath.  If you don’t feel well after holding your breath — stop — this technique may not be right for you. Try holding your breath in different locations so you get use to the technique. Once you can hold your breath for 45 seconds, try using the technique in a real bathroom situation. This comfortable bathroom might be at home or in an empty public bathroom.  Stand or sit in the bathroom as you want and breathe normally. On one of your exhales, stop exhaling about 75% of the way through so you do not empty your lungs. Hold your breath for 45 seconds.  Hold your nose closed if you have to. After 45 seconds you should be able to start peeing. You may need to perform the exhale technique a second time if you stop peeing midstream. This technique only works if you continue to practice in various situations and locations.  You may find yourself altering the technique slightly so that it works personally for you — for example, you might decide to start holding your breath as you walk into the bathroom.

Practice holding your breath at home. Start somewhere you feel comfortable. Practice.


The breech tilt is the most commonly used exercise for turning breech babies. It helps the baby to tuck his or her chin (known as flexion), which is the first step in flipping over.  To perform the breech tilt, you need to elevate your hips between 9 and 12 inches above your head. There are several ways of doing this. The easiest way is simply to lie on the ground and prop your hips up with pillows. Alternatively, you could get a broad plank of wood (or even an ironing board) which you'll need to prop up against a bed or a couch with a non-slip yoga or floor mat underneath. Lie on the board so your head is at the base (supported by a pillow) and your feet are at the raised end. Have a spotter nearby for safety.  Do this three times a day for ten to fifteen minutes each time, on an empty stomach, and during times when the baby is active. Try to relax and breathe deeply as you perform the exercise, and avoid tensing the abdominal muscles. For added benefit, you can combine the breech tilt with the application of heat and ice, or sound. This exercise uses gravity to encourage the baby to somersault into the correct birthing position.  Get down on your knees on the floor or bed and rest your forearms on the ground. Stick your butt into the air and tuck your chin. This allows the lower part of your uterus to expand, making room for the baby's head.  Hold this position for 5 to 15 minutes, twice a day. Try to do it on an empty stomach, otherwise you might feel slightly ill afterwards. If you can feel the baby's position, it may be possible to help the turning process along. While leaning on one elbow, use the opposite hand to exert gentle upward pressure on the baby’s rear end, which is located just above your pubic bone. The forward-leaning inversion is similar to the knee-to-chest exercise, but a little more extreme.  Start in the knee-to-chest position on your bed or the couch. Carefully, place your palms on the floor. Remember to tuck your chin, as this helps to relax your pelvic muscles. Be very careful when...

The bristles are soft enough to protect the surface of the grate. Choose between a roll brush or a straight brush. Both will clean the grill effectively, but the roll brush will more easily clean the sides of the grates. This will soften any leftover grease and make it easier to clean up. Turn the grill to its “high” setting if it's not at that setting already. Let it heat up for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the temperature gauge reaches 500 to 600 °F (260 to 316 °C). Then, turn off the burners. Scrub using a back-and-forth motion along the first bar. Continue until the bar is free of grease and food particles. Repeat the process on the rest of the grate. Dip the towel into a container of the oil to pick up about a teaspoon (5 mL). Place the towel in a pair of tongs and wipe it along each bar. This will prevent your grate from rusting. Don't apply more than a teaspoon of oil. Too much can cause a dangerous flare-up if it drips onto any smoldering food particles below the grate.

The broker will buy and sell the stocks for you based on orders that you give them. You can find brokers at banks, brokerage firms, and investment firms. There are even online brokers that you can use.  Some brokers may charge a minimum. This means that you must invest a certain amount of money with them. Check the commissions that your broker charges on each transaction. These usually range from $5-10. Try to avoid a broker who will charge you inactivity fees if you don’t put in an order. Research the companies carefully before you buy their stock. Instead of buying popular or quickly rising stock, look for stable, profitable companies who have a long history of managing their shares well. If you’re interested in buying stock from a company, read their annual report to see how well they are currently doing in the market. This will help you learn if they are a good choice or not. The 2 most common types of orders are a market order and a limit order. A market order states that you want to buy a stock right away at whatever price it is currently at. A limit order tells the broker not to buy the stock until it reaches a certain price.  For example, if you put in a market order for 10 shares of stock, the broker will buy those stocks immediately. If you put in a limit order of 10 stocks at $50, the broker will wait until the stock costs $50 or less before buying those stocks. When you first buy stock, start small. Buy a few shares and start watching the markets. How many shares you buy depends on what you can afford, but it is good to start with between 1 and 10. As you watch the markets, you may feel comfortable buying more. Buying only a few shares will minimize your losses if you make a mistake at the beginning. If you are using an online broker, there should a “sell” button on your online portfolio. Usually, investors do not sell their stocks until at least a few months after they bought them, but you can hold onto your stocks for as long or short as you like.

Find a stock broker to open a brokerage account. Pick which stocks you want to buy. Put in an order with your broker. Buy just a few shares to begin with. Tell your broker when you are  ready to sell.


The buds and flowers have the highest concentrations of cannabinoids are located in the buds. Remove any stems or seeds and allow the buds to dry thoroughly. You will need them as dry as possible to form powder. Even a small amount of moisture can be the difference between powder and paste. Use a food processor with sharp blades or a coffee grinder. The goal is to make a fine powder almost like flour itself. Keep blending and grinding until you see almost everything is pulverized. It may take some time. You may find that you still have some unground parts. Use a wire strainer or flower sifter over a bowl to separate the ground and unground parts. You should have only a little bit, if much at all, unground. Set aside the bowl of marijuana flour for now. The unground parts left in your strainer need to be reprocessed. If you have a coffee grinder, send them through a second time. If you are not getting the result you hoped for or if you started with a food processor, move the unground parts to a mortar and pestle. Apply pressure with the mortar and "stir" the unground parts to produce the necessary grinding action. You may find that this produces the most fine texture for your flour. If you are not satisfied with the output of your food processor or coffee grinder, try the mortar and pestle. Keep in mind that this will require a lot of elbow grease. However, if you pre-grind using a coffee grinder or food processor then this should be easier. The marijuana's potency will be degraded by oxidation if not stored properly. Use an airtight container. Vacuum sealing will work great as well. Try to use it the same day or within 24 hours. Store in a freezer for long term storage. Generally you are looking at about a 10% substitution but as much as 20% may be ok. This is especially true for baked good that must rise such as breads. Unlike using infused butter or oil, marijuana flour is a true substitution. Marijuana flour doesn't act quite the same as regular flour. An alternate method of storage involves pre-mixing...

The bulb consists of the roots and the clumped dirt that is attached to them. If you buy your tree from a nursery, it may already be in an appropriately-sized container—just ask the sales associate to make sure. If you do need to re-pot it, look for a 5 US gal (19 L) pot for a 2 to 3 year-old tree or a 10 US gal (38 L) pot for trees older than that. A pot bigger than 15 US gal (57 L) will be really hard to move around. Pick sandy or loamy soil for an option that drains well. Avoid using soil made with clay or that has heavy alkaline levels. Cover the bulbed part of the tree (the roots and the dirt attached to the roots), but stop when you get to the base of the roots.  Lemon trees are pretty hardy and can grow in many different types of soil, though the loamy soil is the preferred type. If you want to test the pH level, aim for a reading between 5.5 and 6.5 for optimal growth. If the soil is too acidic, you could add a base like compost or manure to the soil. If the soil isn’t acidic enough, add a compound made of powdered limestone. Fertilize the tree every 1 to 2 months during the spring and summer and every 2 to 3 months during the fall and winter. Use a citrus-specific fertilizer, and only apply it to the top of the soil; don’t mix it in with the rest of the soil. Spring and summer are the active-growing months; fall and winter are the dormant months. Water the tree while slowly counting to 20. Stop once you notice water starting to come out of the bottom of the pot; if after 20 seconds you still don’t see water coming out of the pot, continue counting and watering for an additional 10 seconds. If your climate is particularly dry, keep an eye on the soil and the leaves of the tree. If the soil is dry to the touch or if the leaves are drooping, water the tree. During the hottest months, you may need to water it once or twice a week. While lemon trees need a lot of water, they also shouldn’t be left to sit in water. If the pot is outside, place it somewhere that rainwater will flow away from it rather than...

The bushing will have two places where the rubber casing attaches to the outer metal ring. Mark these two places with a permanent marker on the control arm. This will help you replace the bushing in the right direction. This is the easiest way to remove the bushing. Place the bushing part of the arm into the hydraulic press and activate the press. Listen closely, as there will be a popping noise as the bushing moves, and the arm will become loose when the bushing is completely out. Be careful not to damage the control arm by applying too much pressure with the press. This is a less effective method than a hydraulic press, but can still remove the bushing with some force. A ball joint press, or threaded press, will have a cup that matches the size of the bushing. Set up a driver that has the same diameter as the outer shell of the bushing, and use a wrench to operate the screw-jack to push the bushing out of the control arm. This is the most difficult and least effective method for removing the bushing, but if you don’t have a hydraulic or threaded press it will work with some patience. Be careful not to hit the control arm, focusing each strike on the bushing until it flattens enough to be slid out. You will need a hydraulic press to install the new bushing, so you might be better off waiting until you have access to one. You should be able to do this by hand without any problems. You’ll need to remove the rubber before you can install the new bushing. Use a socket that fits into the bushing, and push the rubber out. If the rubber is stuck, try separating it from the sides of the control arm using a flathead screwdriver. Make sure it’s facing the same direction as the previous bushing, using the flex part of the bushing as the point of reference. It might be a snug fit, so you will need to press a bit to get it into the control arm. Don’t apply lubrication to the bushing to get it into the arm, as this can cause it to slide out while in use. You will need access to a hydraulic press to replace the new...

Mark the orientation of the bushing. Remove the bushing with a hydraulic press. Use a threaded press to remove the bushing. Remove the bushing manually by striking it out with a hammer. Push out the excess rubber using a socket. Place the new bushing in the control arm. Use a hydraulic press to secure the new bushing.


The butter should feel relatively soft after you roll it out, but leave it on your counter for another 5 minutes. Once the butter is completely soft, peel it off of the wax paper and mix it in with the rest of your ingredients. Softened butter could possibly stick to the wax paper. If you need to, scrape the butter with a knife to get it off completely.

Leave the butter at room temperature for about 5 minutes.


The cables which are attached to the DVD drive are very delicate so carefully remove this component first. Lift it up just enough to get to the cables and then gently pull out both of them. The DVD drive can be flashed, through a complex modding process, if certain malfunctions occur or firm or software modding is desired. However, if Microsoft discovers this type of modding, it will earn you a lifetime ban from Xbox Live. First, lift the white section of plastic. The fan below can be popped out, but there are also cables attached, so carefully remove those before pulling the fan out all of the way. The ring controls are easily accessed for modding or repair once the case is open like this. The motherboard will also now be easily visible and accessible. You can carefully pull it up by the silver box at the center or fix it in place. Access to the motherboard can allow you to fix the heatsink (the usual cause of the Red Ring Of Death) by re-soldering or installing new screws. It will also allow you access for software or firmware mods, like reset glitch hacks. Just remember that these are very complex processes, even for those who are very skilled, and can get you banned by Microsoft. Though it is not located in the main case, you can also open the hard disk drive in order to install a drive with more storage space. This is done by unscrewing all of the pieces, unplugging the HDD and sliding it out of the bay. At this point it is easily replaced with another hard drive, as the cables used are standard.

Gently remove the DVD drive. Pop out the fan. Access or remove the ring light. Access or remove the motherboard. Mod the hard disk drive.


The cafeteria can be a loud and rowdy place. The perfect place for getting into trouble. If you want to get busted into detention, here are a couple of ideas:  Throw any kind of lunch bag, piece of tinfoil, or an empty bottle at somebody. If a nearby adult catches you, you might get kicked out of the cafeteria. Take food off of someone's plate and just start eating it. Wait for them to tell on you. If there is a huge crowd of people entering the hallway from the cafeteria, and you're one of those people, find a couple of people and bang into one another. Shove people out of your way. If a nearby adult sees you, you will be given a verbal warning. If it continues, you could get a detention. Throw food at someone and scream "Food Fight!" better yet throw it at the teachers in the lunch room If you have to sit around with a bunch of other kids, it's probably an important time to sit quietly and learn something important for everyone. Or it could be a great opportunity to get busted. If you want a detention, try out the following:  When the principal walks in and starts talking, shout, "Who IS that chump?" Start asking any students who have to speak or get up on stage. Just yell weird or random stuff: "Voldemort loves you Mr. Douche-bag!" Squeak your chair loudly, or talk loudly to your neighbors. Keep doing it when you're told to stop. Yell at a speaker "Shut up, I'm trying to sleep!" that's is a definite detention for you. If you have to sit through a band concert or a choir concert at your school, it's important to be on your best behavior. Unless you want a detention. Here's how to get one:  After the song, yell out "BOO YOU SUCK!!" to the performers. Or don't clap to the performers and stand up and start asking them questions instead. Comment inappropriate things to your friends about the song. Be aware that this may distract the rest of the audience. Laugh at the performers during or after the song. Or disrupt them by shouting/saying inappropriate words that make the lyrics funny, or making jokes about how...

The cage is a safe space for your parakeet, but you want him or her to be in the presence of your family enough to be used to seeing and hearing people. Be sure, however, that this is a place where the bird can get rest when wanted—budgies need 10-12 hours of sleep per night. Cover the cage when your budgie sleeps—this blocks his or her vision and keeps drafts at bay—and be sure no loud noises will startle your parakeet where it's sleeping Once the bird seems comfortable in his or her cage where you have put it—and especially where they will be in the presence of people on a regular basis—start getting closer to the cage each day. Move slowly when you come near the cage so as not to frighten your parakeet.  Talk softly to the bird when you are near the cage. Avoid sudden movements. Spend plenty of time near the cage—the more the better. Your parakeet will know that you know he or she is there. You are essentially the bird's flock, with which he or she would spend all their time with in the wild, so the more time you spend with your budgie, the better. If it moves away, don't move your hand; instead, keep it there and talk to the bird or read a book.  The point is to get the bird used to your hand and your presence. Be sure not to scare the bird.

Make your budgie comfortable. Get closer to your budgie. Start putting your hand on or near the cage near the bird gently.


The calendar class also has compareTo, equals, after and before methods that work in the same way as described above for the date class. So if the date information is being held in a calendar, there is no need to extract the date just to perform a comparison. To use the Calendar methods, you will need a few Calendar instances. Luckily, you can just grab the times from the already created Date instances.   Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance(); //declares cal1 Calendar cal2 = Calendar.getInstance(); //declares cal2 Calendar cal3 = Calendar.getInstance(); //declares cal3 cal1.setTime(date1); //applies date to cal1 cal2.setTime(date2); cal3.setTime(date3); The code below should print true since cal1 is before cal2.   System.out.print(cal1.before(cal2)); //will print true The below code should print false since cal1 is before cal2.   System.out.print(cal1.after(cal2)); //prints false The below code will show an example of both a true and false case. The condition depends on the calendar instances being compared. The code should print "true," then "false" on the next line.   System.out.println(cal1.equals(cal3)); //prints true: cal1 == cal3 System.out.print(cal1.equals(cal2)); //prints false: cal1 != cal2

Use the calendar. Create instances of Calendar. Compare cal1 and cal2 using before. Compare cal1 and cal2 using after. Compare cal1 and cal2 using equals.


The camera feature of your phone allows you to look at images captured by the viewfinder on your screen. Both the photo and video mode are acceptable for this purpose, with one able to take pictures of your subject, and the other able to take videos.  Turn off your flash feature on your phone camera, especially if you plan on taking photos. The bright flash of the camera is a dead giveaway of your activities. Silence your phone completely, including vibrations. Vibrations rattling against the floor, as well as typical phone sounds, will give away your location. Try turning on airplane mode. Both Android and iOS phones have this feature. Take care not to make too much noise or move too suddenly when kneeling. This includes noises and vibrations from your cell phone. Point the lens such that you have a clear view directly underneath the door. The most common way to achieve this is by placing the phone upside down on its head, or laying it on its side. The phone screen should give you a right-side-up view of the room no matter what position the phone is in. Your phone also offers exposure options, making seeing into a darker or overly bright room easier.  Most phones also come with zoom features. Pinch or expand the screen to zoom in and out on any crucial details. Keep in mind your cell phone screen won’t be able to angle itself for expansive views. Floor level is the extent of your coverage. Use your phone controls to take pictures or video of the events under the door. One advantage of taking video is that you will also be able to record audio of any conversations taking place on the other side of the door.  Remember: recording an individual without their consent is illegal.  Phone cameras for both Android and iOS also have additional options such as slow-motion and panorama, if you have specific needs when viewing under the door.

Turn on your cell phone camera. Kneel down next to the door you wish to see under. Aim your phone lens under the door gap. Peer into the room using the phone screen. Take pictures or video.


The candle can be any size you want, but keep in mind that you will be wrapping the cinnamon sticks around this candle. The thicker the candle is, the more cinnamon sticks you will have to use.  Choose a candle that is the same height as your cinnamon sticks. You can also use a tea candle, and stick it in a glass candle votive instead. For a twist, try a vanilla-scented candle. The cinnamon fragrance will blend well with it. If you are using a candle votive instead, then place the rubber band around the middle of the votive instead. The rubber band will hold the cinnamon sticks in place. Don't worry about how the rubber band looks for now; you will be covering it up later. Keep adding cinnamon sticks until the candle/votive is completely covered and there are no gaps left. How many cinnamon sticks you end up using will depend on how thick or thin the candle/votive was. The cinnamon sticks don't all have to be the same height. For a more interesting-looking candle, consider cutting some of the sticks shorter, so that you get a more natural, jagged look. It's okay if the cinnamon sticks are different heights or extend past the top of the candle, but they all need to be flat on the bottom. Gently tap your candle against a flat surface, such as a table, and push down on the cinnamon sticks until they are all even on the bottom. This will make your candle more stable, and prevent it from wobbling. All cinnamon sticks have a groove or seam. You can have the sticks all facing in the same direction, so that the groove is facing inward or outward. You can also make it random, with some of the sticks facing inward, and others facing outward. For a more rustic feel, you can use burlap ribbon instead. You can also wrap some baker's twine or jute string around it, then tie the ends into a bow; you'll have to wrap the twine/string a few times in order to cover the rubber band.  You can use any type of ribbon you want, but something warm colored (burgundy, copper, or brown) will look best. You can also use fabric, gingham...

Get a short, unscented pillar candle. Place a rubber band around the middle of the candle. Start tucking the cinnamon sticks behind the rubber band. Straighten the cinnamon sticks up. Cover the rubber band by wrapping some ribbon around it. Consider adding some embellishments for that final touch. Use the candle.


The canvas size is up to you depending on the room you plan to display your artwork and how big you want it to end up being. You will need enough black or dark blue paint to completely cover all three canvases, yellow, red, orange, white and green paint. Essentially you will be poking holes through the canvas using the screwdriver so if you have a different tool you like to work with, use that instead.

Purchase three stretched and pre-made canvases. Buy acrylic paint and paintbrushes. Pick up a string of white twinkle lights (the 100 light mini strand works very well) and a screwdriver.


The cap is the most work intensive aspect of the costume since you will have to construct it yourself. You will need a yard of green felt, a pair of scissors, a needle or a sewing machine, green thread, a hot glue gun and a red feather. You can buy all these supplies at Hobby Lobby, Michaels or another art supply store. If you don’t want to sew, you can do a no-sew version of the cap by simply taking a green beanie and flipping up the edges. Glue a red feather to one side of the beanie to create a perfectly good Peter Pan cap! Draw a triangle with a pen onto the felt. The shape should be roughly the size of the cap as seen from the side, so make sure to make it large enough for your head or the head of the person the costume is for. Don’t draw a perfect triangle, instead make the top tip of the triangle curved as opposed to straight and off-center as opposed to directly centered. To estimate what size the triangle should be, hold the cloth up to your head to get a good idea. Since the hat isn't going to be fitted snugly to your head, you just need to get an approximate estimate. Draw another shape that is roughly the shape of a knife blade, starting out as rectangular and ending in a pointed tip. This will be the brim of the hat. Make sure that the length of this section is about a ½ inch longer than the length of the rounded triangle you just made. Cut it out with a pair of scissors. Take the rounded triangle and the slanted piece of felt and lay them down on the remaining felt. Use a pen to trace around these shapes. Cut out the shapes with scissors to create identical copies of the shapes you already made. Line up the larger triangles by putting one triangle over the other. Use a needle and thread to sew using straight stitches.Sew the two pieces of fabric together along the sides of the triangle about 1 centimeter (0.4 in) from the edge, leaving the bottom open. You can also Use a Sewing Machine to sew the two pieces together. You are sewing along what will be the inside of the hat, so don't worry if your...

The capacitor acts as a storage tank for electrical power. The amount of power that the capacitor can store is measured in Farads and the general rule of thumb is that you will need one Farad of capacitance for every one kilowatt (or 1,000 Watts) of power demand in your system. Some capacitors come with built in meters that display their current charge. Keep in mind that if you go this route you will need to wire the meter into a switched power supply so that it the meter turns off with the car. Otherwise, the meter would stay on constantly and drain your system. Odds are, if you need a capacitor, you have dropped some money on electrical components in your car. The cost of your capacitor could range from around $30.00 to over $200.00 depending on how large and how fancy you decide to go. Remember that they all serve essentially the same function, and that for most people a one Farad capacitor without an internal meter will work just fine.

Understand the basic idea of a capacitor. Decide whether or not you want an internal meter. Purchase your capacitor.


The car trip from L.A. to New York is about 2,788 miles (4,486.85 kilometers), and will take approximately 43 hours of driving time, which may vary depending on the exact route you take. Refer to a road atlas or use websites such as Google Maps or Mapquest to determine your preferred route. Many travelers driving from L.A. to New York will take Interstate 40 East, which will require you to pass through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Missouri, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and various other states. You will be required to calculate the cost of gas and the added expenses of food or hotels you may use throughout your trip to New York. Calculate the money you will need for gas based on your vehicle's miles per gallon (MPG). If your vehicle has 20 MPG, your gas expenses may total at least 300 dollars (224 euros), depending on current gas prices.

The card technique will only work on a spring latch. Spring latches are generally the kind that move with the handle when it is turned. Turn the handle to make sure that the spring lock is engaged. If it doesn't turn, it's locked.  A dead bolt is often located above or below the handle. If the handle moves but the door doesn’t open, the dead bolt is locked and you'll need to try a different method.  This method will be much less likely to work on modern locks, which are designed to be less vulnerable to unlocking with a plastic card. When opening a door with a plastic card, the card may be damaged. Because of this, you should avoid using important or frequently used cards, like credit cards. A library card or point card will be less of a big deal to replace. Laminated cards tend to work best. These cards are bendy and can be inserted more easily between the door and its frame. Press on the door with moderate force with your non-dominant hand. This will create some extra space between the door and frame, making it easier to insert your card. Work your card into this gap just above the doorknob on a downward angle. If there's molding on the frame, there will be less space between the door and frame, making this process more difficult. In these cases, you may want to try another method to prevent costly damage. Your card is wedged between the door and frame, right? Wiggle it deeper into the space between the doorknob and doorjamb until you meet resistance. This is the lock mechanism, which you’ll need to force back to disengage.  Feel around with the bottom corner of your card a little bit. You should feel the angled part of the latch facing towards you. If the sloped side of the latch isn't facing you, you'll need to slide a long piece of plastic behind the latch to work it from the angled side. Press the card away from the knob to apply greater pressure to the latch. It’s unlikely you’ll be able to completely disengage the latch this way, but when you feel it start to give, push on the door and it should open....

Check the lock. Select an unimportant plastic card to open the lock. Wedge the card in the space between the door and the frame. Locate the lock mechanism with your card. Lever the latch with the card to disengage it and open the door.


The cards should be spread out in a row next to each other. These 3 cards are known as the player’s “hand.” At the beginning of every player’s turn, they’re dealt 3 new face-up cards into their hand. Playing a card means putting it on 1 of the 4 building piles in the center of the playing area (there shouldn’t be any building piles at this point). Building piles are created by playing the numbers 1 through 10 in order. To play on a building pile, you need the next card up in the sequence. The first player needs to have a “1” card or wild card to get a pile started. There are two places the first player might have a “1” card or wild card:  Their stockpile: If the face-up card on top of the first player’s stockpile is a “1” card or wild card, they can play it. After they play it, they should flip the next card in their stockpile face up. Their hand: If one of the 3 cards the dealer gave them is a “1” card or wild card, they can play that card. Whenever a player can't play a card from their hand or stockpile, their turns ends. Play passes to the player on their left. There’s no limit to how many cards a player can play during their turn. Your turn ends when you can’t play any of the cards in your hand or the top card in your stockpile. After your turn is over, play moves to the left.  For example, if the first player had a “1” card in their hand and played it, they could then play a “2” card on top of the “1” card if they have one. If they also had a “3” card, they could then play that on top of the “2” card, and so on. If the first player had two “1” cards, they could start two separate building piles in the middle of the playing area. There can only be 4 building piles at a time. The second player can play off of the building piles the first player started, or create new building piles with “1” cards or wild cards. The second player’s turn is over when they can no longer play any cards. For example, if the second player has a “4” card in their hand, and there’s a building pile with a “3” card on top, they...

Have the dealer deal the first player 3 cards face up. Let the first player play a “1” card or wild card if they have it. Have the first player pass if they can't play any cards. Let the first player play until they can’t play any more cards. Deal the second player their hand and let them take their turn. Continue playing until one player plays all the cards in their stockpile.


The carrier oil will be the main substance of the serum, so pick one that’s appropriate for the type of skin you have. Jojoba, grapeseed, and argan oil are good for oily or acne-prone skin. Avocado, rosehip seed, and sweet almond oil are good for dry or sensitive skin.  Apricot and sunflower oil are good carrier oils for normal skin types. You can use two carrier oils if you want to (i.e. if you want the acne-fighting power of grapeseed oil and the moisturizing properties of avocado oil). Just use half of each in your recipe, rather than the full amount of one. Essential oils are entirely optional and should only be added if you're not sensitive to fragrances in your skincare. If you do decide to use them, you can stick with just one, or add a few drops of three or four different kinds. Regardless of how many you use, pick essential oils that will be good for your skin type.  Choose patchouli, rosemary, or tea tree oil for oily or acne-prone skin. Frankincense, jasmine, and sandalwood oil are good for dry or sensitive skin. Geranium and lavender essential oils are good for all skin types. Test a small amount of each oil on a different part of your skin. If your skin starts to burn, sting, or turn red, you may not not want to use that oil. If you are pregnant, talk to your doctor before using essential oils. Shop for salicylic acid powder online through retailers that sell cosmetic ingredients. You could also browse large retailers like Amazon to look for a better deal. Buy a small bag or container if you’re just trying the product for the first time and aren’t sure how much you’ll use.  Small amounts (under 30 grams (1.1 oz)) will cost around $5, while larger amounts can cost anywhere between $10 and $20. Store extra powder in a sealed plastic bag or container, and place it in a cool, dark, and dry location. The salicylic acid powder will need to be dissolved before it’s added to your oils, and the best substance to use is propylene glycol. Purchase a bottle of this from a cosmetic ingredient retailer, or...

The casting tag is etched into your motor when it is created, and is used to help find the right parts if you need a replacement. This code also packs a large amount of information in it that will help you get to know your engine better.  You may need to clean the engine with a rag and some degreaser if it is too dirty to see the letters. This code is usually on the side of the engine, but you might not be able to see it when the engine is in a car with older models. Use a light to scan both sides of the engine to find it.  Ex.C5AE-9425-B This will be a letter. If the letter is a "B," it means that the engine was built in the 1950s. Each decade after that has its own succeeding letter; "C" designates the 1960s, "D" designates the 1970s, and so on. The digit after the letter is the actual year. So C9 would be 1969, E4 would be 1984, etc. This will be a letter, and it signifies the basic design of the vehicle as shown below. Of course, this code should match up with the car that it is in (i.e. a Mercury could be coded E5M), but you may be dealing with standalone engines or redesigned cars.  "A" - Generic and full-size engine "D" - Falcon "E" - Truck "F" - Foreign Trans-Am racing "G" - 1961 to 1967 Comet/1968 to 1976 Montenegro "H" - 1966 to 1982 Heavy truck "J" - Industrial Ford "L" - Lincoln "M" - Mercury "O" - 1967 to 1976 Ford Torino/all Ford Fairlane "S" - Thunderbird "T" - Truck "W" - Cougar "Y" - Meteor "Z" - Mustang "6" - Pantera " This digit stands for the type of part. E stands for "Engine," so this should always be the fourth digit you see when identifying Ford motors. If your engine is modeled after the original design, this letter will be A. If it is the third manufactured version of the engine, it will be a C, and so on. This digit can be up to three digits long. For example, AB would be the 28th version — 26 for A-Z, then two for A-B.

Looks for nine-digit casting tags to learn more about your engine's make and model. Read the first two digits in the identification tag to find the year the engine was made. Read the third digit in the casting number to determine the engine design. Make sure that the fourth digit is always an "E. Check the last digit, usually a letter, to determine the version of your part.
