The alphabet is a good place to start when you're learning to speak Korean, especially if you hope to progress to reading and writing later on. Korean has a fairly simple alphabet, although it may seem strange to most English speakers at first because it is completely different than the Roman alphabet.  Hangeul was created during the Joseon Dynasty in 1443. Hangeul has 24 letters, consisting of 14 consonants and 10 vowels. However, if you include 16 diphthongs and double consonants, there are 40 letters in total. Korean also uses around 3,000 Chinese characters, or Hanja, to represent words of Chinese origin. Unlike Japanese Kanji, Korean Hanja are used in more limited contexts like academic writing, religious (Buddhist) texts, dictionaries, newspaper headlines, classical and pre-WWII Korean literature, and family names. In North Korea, the use of Hanja is almost non-existent. Knowing how to count is an essential skill in any language. Counting in Korean can be tricky, as Koreans use two different sets of cardinal numbers, depending on the situation: Korean and Sino-Korean, which originated from Chinese and has some of its characters.  Use the Korean form for numbers of items (between 1 and 99) and age, e.g. 2 children, 5 bottles of beer, 27 years old. Ending consonants are not aspirated, meaning there is no ending breath at the end of the syllable.  Here's how to count to ten in the Korean form:   One = 하나 pronounced "hana"  Two = 둘 pronounced "dul"  Three = 셋 pronounced "set  Four = 넷 pronounced "ne(t)"  Five = 다섯 pronounced "da-seo(t)"  Six = 여섯 pronounced "yeo-seo(t)"  Seven = 일곱 pronounced "il-gob"  Eight = 여덟 pronounced "yeo-deolb"  Nine = 아홉 pronounced "ahob"  Ten = 열 pronounced "yeol"   Use the Sino-Korean form for dates, money, addresses, phone numbers, and numbers above 100. Here's how to count to ten in Sino-Korean:   One = 일 pronounced "il"  Two = 이 pronounced "ee"  Three = 삼 pronounced "sam"  Four = 사 pronounced "sa"  Five = 오 pronounced "oh"  Six = 육 pronounced "yug"  Seven = 칠 pronounced "chil"...

The alphabet is the bare bones of reading. In order to understand books, stories, sentences, or even words, you must first understand the letters of the alphabet. Teaching your child the alphabet will help her learn to recognize letters and sound them out so that they can later build them together to make words.  Use tactile learning tools. Buy a set of 3 in (7.6 cm) foam letters and/or blocks with letters of the alphabet to play with. As your child plays, tell them what each letter sounds like. Then ask them to try and reproduce the sound. You can gradually advance to having your child identify which letter makes a sound that you speak. "Quiz" them by showing them 3 letters and asking, for example, which one makes the "ah" sound. In addition to recognizing the appearance of a written letter, teach your child the sound each letter makes. Work on one letter at a time, or break it into small groups of letters. For example, one day you might work on A through D, the next day E through H, and so on. Vowels are the next step to progress to after learning the basic alphabet. They're a little easier to learn than consonants since there are only A, E, I, O, U, and Y. One easy way to teach vowels is to print out vowel workbook pages from a phonics website, or purchase a similar book at your local bookstore. These workbook pages typically show pictures and words, and often help break down the parts of a word. Matching the word with its corresponding image might help your child better understand the meanings of words.  You can find free vowel workbook pages online at websites like http://www.schoolexpress.com/fws/cat.php?id=2483. Show your child pictures and say the word each image depicts. Ask your child which vowel makes the sound for that word.  For example, when you show a picture of a cat and say "cat," ask your child to identify which vowel makes the "a" sound. Once your child has gotten the hang of vowels, you're ready to move on to consonants. Consonants can be trickier, in part because there are so many more of...

The aluminum foil from your kitchen is fine to use. Cover the decal, and hold it with tape or your hand. The foil reflects thermal energy back into the object it is covering, so the foil will help the decal warm up more than if you leave it exposed, once you take a hairdryer to it.  You can use take a hairdryer to the decal without foil, though it may not heat up as well. Any type of hair dryer will work. Plug in the hairdryer to the nearest socket. Make sure that the bathtub or surrounding area is dry before turning on the hairdryer. Heat it on a hot, high setting until the sticker has softened. This will probably take a couple of minutes. Slowly go over every part of the sticker with the dryer. Keep the hair dryer at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from the sticker while you dry. The sticker should be soft by the time you finish drying. Pull it up and peel it back slowly starting at one end of the sticker. The sticker may not peel off easily and begin to tear. If this happens, take your fingers and lift up the decal around the edges, slowly working towards the center. Do this until the sticker comes completely comes off. Try to keep the toy and clear adhesive film layer together as you pull the decal off. If the decal is stubborn and won’t come off, you will need to scrape it off. Take a plastic ice scraper and work around the edges or the parts of the sticker that has not come off. Continue to scrape until there are no remnants of the decal left. You can also use a box cutter or razor if a plastic ice scraper is not available. Metal can leave marks, so be careful to not to cut into the bathtub. A sticky residue may still be left over after removing the sticker. Spray WD-40 onto the sticky surface, and wipe it off with a rag or paper towel. Scrub the bathtub surface until there is no adhesive residue left. You can use water and white vinegar to remove sticky residue if WD-40 is not available. WD-40 will leave a greasy residue, so you will need to wash the surface where the decal was to remove it. You should...

The ambiance of a hair salon is extremely important to customers. Getting a haircut is a treat that people look forward to, so the entire experience should be mood-lifting and rejuvenating. If your space looks drab or uninviting, customers will search for a different salon.  Decide on a color scheme and decorations. Paint the walls in fresh, bright colors and decorate with tasteful paintings or other cheerful items.  Invest in high-quality mirrors and lighting that will make the space feel bright and clean. Decide how many stylists you need and either ask around or place an advertisement for the job opening. Be sure the people you hire graduated from beauty school and have experience cutting hair. Review their references and have them do a trial run before offering the job.  Decide if you want your stylists to bring clients with them. If so, ask questions about their customer base. Hire people who have special skills you're looking for, like the ability to do great highlights or cut children's hair. Every salon has a slightly different menu of services to offer their customers. Tailor yours to the current trends as well as the skills your stylists have to offer. In addition to basic cuts for women, men and children, you may want to consider offering the following:  Coloring Perming and straightening Special services (weddings, cutting-edge treatments, etc.) Consider adding spa services, like nail services, facial and skin services, or massage Decide how much you want to charge, and whether you want to have a tiered pricing system according to the experience of the stylist. For example, you might want to charge more for a cut done by an expert stylist than a junior stylist. When you're setting your prices, take the following into account:  The cost of labor and supplies. If you're offering top-notch services and expensive products, you'll need to charge more than if you hired junior stylists and lower end products. Competitors' pricing.

The amount is approximate but make sure you get at least that much. If you need to, use a funnel to make sure it goes in the drain.  This works best in a dry sink and drain. You can wipe out the sink with a towel. The hot water will help the baking soda reach the clog. Plus, it will help break up the clog, particularly if it's grease- or fat-based. You can use more than 2 cups (470 mL) if it seems to be helping. Wait a few minutes before moving on. Pour the baking soda down the drain. As soon as you pour in the vinegar, cover the drain with a plug so that the foam goes down instead of coming up. You'll hear gurgling noises from the vinegar chemically reacting with the baking soda. Use plain distilled white vinegar. Once you hear the gurgling stop, pull the plug out. Add another 2 to 4 cups (470 to 950 mL) of boiling water. The water will clear out the debris, along with the baking soda and vinegar.

The amount of time that it takes for caffeine to travel through your system depends on a variety of factors, such as age, body height and weight, food intake, and genetics. Caffeine has a half life of 3-5 hours, which means that it could take up to 5 hours for 50% of the caffeine to go through your system.  It takes the average adult 1.5 days to fully eliminate caffeine from their system. Adults can clear caffeine from their system faster than any other age group. It takes children and elderly people much longer. People who are tall and heavy can metabolize caffeine much more quickly than shorter and lighter people. Women that take oral contraceptives will metabolize caffeine at an average rate of 3 hours slower than those who don’t. This is the equivalent of 4 cups of coffee, or 2 energy shot drinks per day. Reduce the amount each day to test how your body reacts. Find a balance between enjoying your caffeine, yet not drinking too much that it disrupts your life.  If consuming around 400 mg of caffeine per day is still giving you unpleasant side effects, lower your intake to find your limit. Drinking less caffeine can be difficult at first. Take it slowly, and seek help from a medical professional if you are struggling. Practice waking up and going to sleep at the same time each day. Make sure that you get enough sleep every night. This will help to regulate your mind and body, and you won’t feel like you require as much caffeine to function. Chocolate, coffee-flavored ice cream and frozen yogurt, and some breakfast cereals all contain caffeine. Lower your intake of these foods to help reduce your caffeine consumption. If you find that having caffeine in your system is bothering you regularly, consider swapping your coffee or energy drink for an alternative beverage. Decaf tea or coffee are good replacements, as you can still get the same taste but without the annoying jitters. Many herbal teas don't contain caffeine.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Debes saber que la cafeína permanecerá en tu organismo por aproximadamente 1,5 días. Reduce tu consumo de cafeína a menos de 400 mg al día. Duerme de 7 a 9 horas por noche. Evita los alimentos que contengan cafeína. Cambia las bebidas con cafeína por las descafeinadas.


The amount of water you need will depend on the stockpot you’re using. A basic stockpot takes about 24 cups (5,700 mL) of water, but adjust the amount as needed. This will be enough to cook about 4 lb (1.8 kg) of king crab legs. Make sure the crab legs are completely submerged in the water or else they may not cook evenly. If your stock pot is too small, cook the crab legs in batches or use multiple pots. For example, start with 1 tablespoon (17.06 g) of salt and stir it into the pot of water. Then, mix in 2 tablespoons (34.12 g) of store-bought seafood seasoning. You could mix in herbs like parsley and dill, put garlic and lemons in the pot, or customize the flavor however you wish. The salt is useful for seasoning the crab legs and getting them to cook at a more uniform rate. Even if you don’t plan on adding anything else, the salt is worth adding. Set your stove to a high setting and wait. Watch for the water to bubble at a consistent rate. It will take a little bit of time, so don’t rush to turn down the heat. The water has to be boiling before you put the crab legs into the pot. If it isn’t boiling, you will have a much harder time determining when the crab legs are done cooking. Drop the crab legs into the water, taking care to avoid splashes from the hot water. Use tongs to push the crab legs down and tuck them into the water as much as possible. Try to keep them completely covered by the water before letting them cook.  Any parts that are out of the water won’t get cooked. If you want the legs to cook at the same rate, keep them submerged. If you can’t fit all of the legs into the pot, save some of them to cook later. Adding the crab legs reduces the water temperature, so it won’t be bubbling anymore. Wait a couple of minutes until it begins to bubble rapidly again. Once it reaches that point, it will quickly cook the crab legs at an even rate. Plan on simmering the crab legs until they’re done. Check the water for tiny, consistent bubbles and wisps of steam. Start the timer once the water reaches...

The amount of your budget will often dictate the rest of the planning process. Establish a range instead of a fixed budget number. For example, budgeting $7,500 to $8,500 is more reasonable than deciding to spend exactly $8,000. You will potentially need to pay for new appliances, flooring, countertops, hardware, paint, ventilation, cabinets and installation costs. Set aside money in your budget for unexpected problems, delays, expenses and contingencies. The National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) advises you add 20 percent of your budget to your estimate for surprises and contingencies. You will need a general contractor as well as plumbers, electricians and other specialists. You will need to decide where you want to save and where you want to spend. For example, if stainless steel appliances are a priority, you might need to settle for laminate flooring.

The amount of zinc a person should have differs based on factors, such as age and gender. You should determine how much zinc you require each day because getting too much zinc can be harmful.  Children seven months to three years old need 3 mg each day. Children younger than seven months need 2 mg. Children four to eight years old need 5 mg. Children nine to 13 years old need 8 mg. Both can get up to 23 mg safely each day. Male teens 14 to 18 years old need 11 mg. Females need 9 mg. Both can get up to 34 mg safely each day. Males over 18 need 11 mg, while females need 8 mg. Both can get up to 40 mg safely each day. Zinc needs increase when pregnant and/or breastfeeding  — 11 mg and 12 mg respectively. These numbers will be even higher if you are a teenager. Vegetarians need to be particularly careful to get enough zinc from non-animal sources. You can get zinc from beans and legumes, nuts and seeds, oats, and wheat germs Vegetarians and vegans may have a zinc deficiency because many of the main sources of zinc are not acceptable to vegetarians. The other reason is that grains and legumes, main foods for vegetarians, contain high levels of phytic acid. This component may reduce zinc absorption. Zinc is important for many bodily functions. It is important for your immune system. Zinc also plays a critical role in over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. Zinc also plays a structural role for proteins and cell membranes.  In proteins, zinc provides a sort of scaffolding to keep proteins folded correctly. This scaffold is called the “zinc finger motif.” Proteins containing a zinc finger motif are important in regulating how genes, coded for in the DNA, are expressed. These proteins act as transcription factors, controlling gene expression. Zinc is also important in how cells communicate with each other and is important in control of hormone levels and in the transmission of nerve signals Zinc plays a role in a process called apoptosis, or programmed cell death. This is particularly important to control cancer cells...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Determina cuál es la cantidad diaria adecuada. Consume más zinc si eres vegetariano. Conoce la importancia de este mineral. Conoce los nutrientes que el zinc obstaculiza.


The amount will serve about 3 to 4 people. Break it up with a wooden spoon and mix until it is completely melted and combined. Stir in the thyme, and season to taste with salt and pepper. The size of the dish will determine how thin or thick your fried polenta slices will be. For thinner pieces, use a large dish, and for thicker pieces, use a small one. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the polenta is completely set. It will not turn brown or golden. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, then cut it into slices to serve.  Try using cookie cutters to cut the polenta into interesting shapes.     Serve with marinara sauce for a delicious Italian treat.

The amount you’ll earn on your investment home depends on the local area it is located in; choose wisely before purchasing.  Ensure your home works as an investment property and makes financial sense.  If you’re paying more in mortgage and taxes than you are earning each month in rent, you should not invest in the property. Investment property should be in a good area to attract reliable renters. Buying a second home is a great investment if you have the time and money, but remember, paying property taxes and a mortgage on a second home can be expensive.  Consult with a financial planner before deciding to acquire a second home.  Also, be realistic about how often you’ll be able to use the home.  If you have a hectic work schedule or few days available for vacation, buying a second home might not be a good choice. If you have two homes, you could consider renting either during the period of time you’re not living there in order to earn extra income. If you’re thinking about Florida as a retirement destination, you’ll be among many with a common mind.  Retirement communities in Florida are numerous and can be quite affordable, an important quality for a retired person with a fixed income. Consider the quality of community services.  Are doctors offices and hospitals in the community or within easily accessible distances?  Are there community centers where you can meet and commiserate with other seniors. Perhaps you believe you could find work opportunities in Florida that are unavailable in your home state.  Florida has a strong economy, with major growth in economic sectors as diverse as tourism, agriculture, global trade, aerospace and aviation, and biological science.  Beyond economic reasons, you might make Florida your home because:  a warm, sunny climate great cities like Miami and Orlando beachfront property many natural springs  attractions like Epcot and Disney World

The ancient Greeks did so, and defined four variations, as identified in How to Define Love. Of the four, the term agape most closely equates to unconditional love. Agape love is a choice, a decision made to love regardless of circumstances or disappointments.   Thus, unconditional love means loving another in their essence, as they are, no matter what they do or fail to do.  People with children usually seem to understand this notion best of all. It is also learned and practiced. You must choose to love unconditionally.  Parents might counter that they had no choice but to love their children from the moment they laid eyes on them, but that initial flush of attachment is, perhaps imperceptibly, replaced by an ongoing decision to love the child regardless of circumstances. A person who has newly fallen in love with another is often in this state, where they don't see the other person’s full reality, faults and all.  Such a state of love is (or at least should be) temporary, and needs to be replaced by a longer-term, “eyes wide open” type of love if the love is to last. To love someone without conditions you need to be aware of the conditions, good and bad. "Unconditional Love is not the case of being blinded by love but rather the resolution that nothing is more important than love." - Talidari Some say no, because romantic love must function conditionally, as a partnership based on feelings, actions, and expectations.  In this view, you can never love your spouse in the same unconditional manner as your child.  However, love is not the same thing as a relationship. Relationships are conditional, a “working partnership.” An unconditional relationship is a recipe for one-sided domination.  Thus, a relationship can end because the partnership does not function properly, and yet unconditional love toward the other person can remain. Sometimes ending a relationship can be the way to love unconditionally. We usually consider love to be a feeling, but feelings are a response to something we “get” from someone or...

The ancient Romans loved wine and drank it with most of their meals throughout the day. If you’re of legal drinking age in your country, pour a glass of red wine and make a toast to Caesar and his life. Relax and enjoy your wine in the name of the Roman Empire.  If you don’t like wine, you can make a “Bloody Caesar” cocktail, which is a Bloody Mary, but with hot sauce and Caesar spices. For a more authentic experience, you can mix your wine with a little bit of water, which is how the ancient Romans drank their wine. There are plenty of movies about the life of Julius Caesar, and many of them are available online for free. Search Caesar’s name on a streaming service or YouTube, and spend a few hours immersed in Roman life in the time of Caesar! There are also plenty of documentaries about Caesar’s life, and some cable channels do Caesar marathons on the Ides of March. for lunch. Although it’s not named after Julius Caesar, you can still honor him by eating a salad with his name in it. Combine romaine lettuce, croutons, and parmesan cheese in a bowl, and toss them with a pair of tongs. Then, drizzle caesar dressing across the top to finish the salad. You can even add some chicken to the salad for extra protein to keep you full throughout the day. Though it’s normally enjoyed as a book, Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” is actually a play. Assign each of your friends a different role, and put on the play in your living room. If you want a more realistic experience, you can even dress up in costume.  If you don’t want to work through the whole play, you can focus on some of the most important scenes, like the Ides of March scene, Cassius warning Brutus about Caesar’s ambition, Calpurnia’s dream, the plot to kill Caesar, and Caesar’s assassination. Some high schools and community theaters put on Julius Caesar especially for the Ides of March, so be sure to check their websites for announcements. The assassination of Caesar was the ultimate political drama when Shakespeare first put on his play, and many modern TV...

The angle at which you look at your screen can affect the amount of strain on your eyes. Start by adjusting your screen position to slightly lower than eye level.  Specifically, the top of the screen/monitor should be aligned with your eyes, when looking straight ahead. Try tilting the screen/monitor at different angles and heights while you're sitting there and it may help reduce eye fatigue. This angle keeps your neck in a more natural position and results in less work for your eyes. Try to position your face as far as you can from the monitor: 20-40 inches or 50-100 cm is about the right distance.  This may seem like it will make your eyes work harder, but eyes are relaxed at this distance. You may a need larger screen or bigger font sizes to read your screen at this distance. Turn down the brightness, turn up the contrast. This will make your screen easier on the eyes.  Screens that are too bright are hard on the eyes. When there's not enough contrast between blacks and whites on your computer screen this is also hard on your eyes. This is because they have a harder time distinguishing between different items. This can add to eye strain. Cleaning your screen removes electrostatic particles that may be emitted from the computer screen. These particles can push dust toward your eyes, causing irritation and strain. Cleaning your screen can also reduce glare. Wipe down your screen daily with an anti-static solution sprayed onto a cloth. You should try to create an environment that has lighting similar to that of your monitor. The ideal workspace will have soft lights, limited natural light, no fluorescent lighting, and surfaces that don't reflect too much light.  It is important to get the right amount of lux or light that passes through a surface.  Lux is the standard unit of illumination. For ordinary office work you should illuminate the room at about 500 lux. The packaging on your light bulbs should help you select the right amount of light regarding lux.

The angle that the light hits the sprite will help you determine where to apply shading for a more realistic and believable effect. While there isn't going to actually be a light, knowing the direction the light is shining is very important. It may be easiest to shade with the light source coming from far away above the sprite, from either the slight right or slight left. If the light source is coming from above, the shading should happen on the "underside" of the sprite. Shade any areas that wouldn't be hit by direct light. Just add a few layers of pixels above or below the outlines to add shading.  You can decrease the "lum" value of your base color and slightly increase the "hue" value to get a good shading color. Never use gradients. They will look very fake and unprofessional. You can use dithering to mimic gradients (see below). Pick a shade between the darkness of the shadow and the original base color. Use this shade to add another layer of shadow between the shading and the base color. This will give the effect of transitioning from dark to light. These are spots on the sprite that are being hit the most with the light. You can add highlights by using a shade that is slightly lighter than the base color. Use highlights sparingly, as they can become distracting.

Determina la "fuente de luz". Aplica el sombreado usando una tonalidad ligeramente más oscura del color base. Añade algunas sombras suaves. Aplica algunos reflejos.


The anion gap (AG) measures the difference between sodium and potassium cations and the chloride and bicarbonate anions in patients who experience kidney problems and altered mental status -- in other words, your pH balance. It represents the unmeasured anion concentration in the plasma such as proteins, phosphates and sulfates. This is all fancy terminology for your body producing the right things at the wrong levels. Determining the anion gap value is crucial in setting the arterial blood gas analysis or ABG. The basic concept is that net cation and anion charges must be equal to achieve balance in your body. This is mainly a measure for patients with kidney or gastrointestinal problems. This test does not definitely point toward any one condition. However, it does rule certain things out and narrow down the field of concern.  Anion gap reveals the presence of metabolic acidosis, where the pH levels in your body are off-kilter. It differentiates the causes of metabolic acidosis and helps confirm other findings. Ask your doctor to help wrap your brain around this process. Let’s take for instance that a patient has lactic acidosis (where there's also a buildup of lactate. In this case, the serum bicarbonate levels will automatically reduce (because of the buildup) so that when you calculate for the anion gap, you’ll see that the anion gap increases. A serum anion gap sample is taken from your veins using a serum separator tube. Here's how it'll go:  A medical scientist or medical technologist extracts blood from a vein, likely in your arm. He or she may ask you if you have a history of latex allergies. If you do, they'll use different materials to ensure you don't have an allergic reaction. Inform them of any medical condition or medication that may cause excessive bleeding or if you have psychological issues associated with sharp items like needles. Your specimen will be kept inside a bio-refrigerator and kept in a queue for examination. When all is said and done, your doctor will contact you to discuss the...

The ankles are good if you wear jeans and can cross your legs. The wrists are good if you can write on your veins with blue pen. On the inside of your thighs you can write formulas if you wear shorts. One of the best places to put notes are on your hands, for several reasons: 1) You will be using them during the whole test, 2) It is easy to hide with another hand or a shirt sleeve. Write short notes on the lines and wrinkles of your palm, the sides of the fingers, or the little piece of skin between your fingers.

The annual report often contains an income statement, a balance sheet, and a cash flow statement. You can find the annual report by contacting the investor relations department at the company or by visiting the investment page on their website.  The income statement tells you how much the company made. Generally, profitable companies tend to do better on the stock market, although profitability is not the only factor in a strong stock. The balance sheet compares the assets and liabilities of the company. Look for a company that has more assets (which are investments that will make money over time) than liabilities (which are investments that may lose money). The cash flow shows where they made and lost money. Each company and industry will have different types of expenditures. You should research the industry to make sure that their expenditures are considered normal. It is generally recommended to sell high and buy low, but it can be hard to understand what the high and low points are for a certain stock. Daily highs and lows can fluctuate significantly. You will get a better idea of the stock’s value from the 52-week high/low.  For example, if you were to look up Ulta (ULTA) on the NASDAQ exchange, you might find that the highest it has been in 52 weeks is $314.86 USD and that the lowest is $187.96 USD. If the price goes above the 52 week high, it is a good time to sell. Similarly, if a stock goes below its 52-week low, you might want to buy. So you might want to buy ULTA stock when it is below $187.96 USD and sell it when it is near or above $314.86 USD. Any online stock broker will tell you the 52-week high/low on the page for the stock. Furthermore, if the stock is traded on NASDAQ or LSE, you can find the high/low on their websites.

The answer to this question may differ from person to person, and there is no wrong or right choice. It's based on your personal preferences. Some people covet friendships with people who have shared similar situations or struggles. Others long for friends who have the same core values as them. In general, there are four elements that usually draw people together and form close friendships.  Common interests- hobbies, shared activities, passions, etc. History- shared pasts and circumstances Common values- ideals for how to live life Equality- a balance of give and take Decide which combination of elements is most important to you. By doing so, you can learn what places or situations might help you foster new friendships. For example, if you care about history and you are struggling with social anxiety, you might connect well with a person in your support group who has overcome this condition in the past. When you sign up for something in which everyone is learning a new thing the pressure to perform is off. Learning a new skill – whether pottery or golf – might be intimidating, but learning with others may help you to forge new connections. Walk the dog. Play Frisbee or kickball with your kids. Go running in your neighborhood. Join a gym and participate in group fitness classes. Embracing regular physical activity is a wonderful way to improve your physical health and establish new friendships. For example, if you are walking your dog through the park, let your dog lead. If he or she shows interest in another pup, you can use this interest to strike up a connection with the other dog's owner. Ask whether this person's dog is friendly, what it likes to do for fun, or the weirdest thing it ever ate. Think about it, you already know of at least one mutual interest you have with this individual - a love of animals. Of course, one of the greatest impacts of volunteering is positively benefiting your local community. Just spending an hour or so of your time each week can help make your area a better place to live...

The apparition period is the time that your planet is visible. It can last anywhere from a few weeks to almost two years. You can look these up in most astronomy catalogues to figure out when your planets are visible. Most of the planets are most visible as the sky gets dark (dusk) or as the sky begins to brighten again (dawn). However, looking for them in the night sky is also possible. You have to look very late at night, when it is incredibly dark out. Combine their apparition period with the time that they are most visible to determine when will be the best time to see the planet you’re looking for.  Mercury: this planet is visible multiple times a year. This year, it will still be visible in September and December. Mars: the early morning sky will showcase Mars. Starting in August, Mars will begin to climb higher into to sky and continue through the rest of the year. It will become brighter as it climbs.  Jupiter: pre-dawn skies are the best time to see Jupiter. It will appear in the 2015 sky in mid-September and continue for months inside the borders of Leo.  Saturn: look in the evening twilight sky for Saturn. Saturn will appear in the night sky in November and will be visible in the morning sky by the year’s end.

The appearance of blackheads, pimples in the groin or anal area, beneath the breasts, or in the armpits can all be signs of HS. You might find painful, pea-sized lumps just beneath the skin. These lumps can persist for months or even years. Lesions - bumps or sores that leak fluid - may also be present and persist for months.  These symptoms often start just after puberty with a single, painful bump. Women, African-Americans, overweight, smokers and people with familial history of HS are most likely to develop the symptoms of HS. Some people experience mild forms of HS that can be best treated at home. Others require help from a doctor or medical care provider. HS affects at least 1% of the population. Laying a clean, warm washcloth over your skin for 10-15 minutes may help with pain associated with blocked sweat glands. If you have a painful, deep lump caused by a blocked sweat gland, this compress may provide some relief.  You can also use a hot teabag as a compress. Make a cup of tea by steeping a teabag in boiling water. Then take the hot teabag and apply it to the affected area for pain relief. The warmth will help relieve pain, but it won't get rid of the bump. Make sure to use a soap that doesn't irritate your skin. Find a fragrance-free soap that's designed for sensitive skin. Lather and rinse well. Allow your skin to air dry.  You may wish to follow your washing with an over-the-counter antibiotic creme. Avoid comedogenic moisturizing creams, lotions, etc. as they may block your sweat glands and pores. Studies suggest that zinc supplements may help to decrease the chances of additional inflammation. Zinc supplements include zinc sulfate, zinc acetate, zinc glycine, zinc oxide, zinc chelate, and zinc gluconate. These are generally considered safe when taken in the recommended dosages.  While zinc appears safe during pregnancy in small amounts, check with your doctor and use with caution. Studies have not ruled out the possibility of harm to the fetus. Avoid zinc chloride.

The apples will chill as you prepare the candy mixture. Melted candy will harden a lot faster on cold apples than on room temperature ones. If you don't have any wax paper, lightly coat the baking sheet with cooking spray instead. This will keep the candy apples from sticking to the sheet while they harden. The baking sheet needs to be large enough to hold all of the apples without them touching. If you need to, use two baking sheets. It will take about 20 minutes. Don't stir the candy during this time. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test whether or not the candy is ready by putting a drop into a cup of cold water. If the candy hardens and cracks easily, it's ready. If it sinks to the bottom and stays gooey, it is not ready. It will take about 1 hour for the candy to harden. Don't get impatient and stick the candy apples into the fridge, or they may turn sticky. Candy-coated apples are best eaten the same day.

The area around a new piercing may be red, tender, and/or swollen for a few weeks. However, if these symptoms last more than three weeks, they may indicate an infection. Similarly, yellow discharge is normal for about a week after getting a belly button piercing. If discharge continues, turns green, or includes blood, this likely indicates an infection.  Other indications of an infection include excess crust around one or both of the piercing’s holes, persistent pain or soreness to the touch, skin sensitivity, the ability to see the piercing through the skin, or any movement or loosening of the piercing itself. If any of these symptoms are present, see you doctor. A saline press is another way to wash and disinfect your belly button piercing that will also reduce pain or other irritation from infection.  Dissolve a quarter teaspoon of salt into a cup or so of water that is warm, but safe to touch.  Use a cotton ball of piece of clean gauze to soak up the solution. Lie on your back and gently hold the saturated material onto your belly button area for 10 minutes.  Repeat this process twice a day to help kill bacteria and reduce irritation. Dry your belly button with a disposable paper product such as paper towel. A clean towel and gauze are other good alternatives. While these actions may be tempting, they may actually prolong the healing process.  In fact, removing your jewelry can lead to other health complications. Similarly, antibacterial ointment can inadvertently trap bacteria within the infected area. Tea tree oil, aloe vera, white vinegar, and chamomile tea are all said to have infection-fighting properties as well. While saline solution is the recommended method of disinfecting your piercings, these may offer supplementary relief from irritation and other symptoms of an infection. Aloe vera gel can help soothe an irritated belly button and may even help prevent scarring.  Get aloe vera gel from your local pharmacy. Home treatment may not be adequate to rid your piercing of a persistent infection.  If...

The ascendant is a very important part of an astrology chart. It is the point, by sign and degree, that was rising above the Eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. You need to find the ascendant to know how the houses will be labeled in your chart.  If the Zodiac wheel was a clock, your ascendant can be found at 9 o'clock. This points to the cusp of your first house.  The astrology chart is divided into 12 inner sections, in somewhat triangular shapes. Count the houses counter clockwise, the ascendant marking the first house. The different houses point to different aspects of your life. What sign rules the differing houses will influence your astrology chart.  The first house represents you at birth. That is, your identity, physical appearance, attitude, temperament, and other inherent qualities. Planets and signs found in the first house have a huge influence on your personality.  The second house represents your money, personal assets, self worth, and attitude towards such things. Financial security and emotional well-being throughout your life can be evaluated by what sign and planet are found in the second house.  The third house represents communication and transportation. How others communicate with you, physical forms of communication like letters, and short distance travel is found in the third house. This also points to your mental attitude, learning style, self-expression, and manner of speech.  The fourth house represents home, family, and property. Your roots, background, childhood, and the inner emotions that stem from these areas of your life are dominated by this house.  The fifth house represents children and how you relate to them. Romance and love affairs are also found in the fifth house as are how you approach pleasure and fun.  The sixth house is the house of health and service, representing your general physical well-being throughout life. In addition to the first six, there are another six houses. Where these houses fall on your chart, and what planets and signs rule these...

The audience is just who reads your paper. Maybe your audience is the whole student body or the student body and faculty. However, maybe you want a newspaper just for band members or for a club you're in. Choosing an audience is important because it helps you focus your paper. Your audience also helps you determine your format. If you just have a small audience, you probably want an easy electronic format, such as a blog. Traditionally, newspapers are print-driven. However, to be in print, you must have some resources, such as access to a copier or a local print shop who will print it for free. If you don't have those resources, you can start out as a solely electronic newspaper, delivered through the school.  You could also create a newspaper distributed through a blog service, such as Blogger or WordPress. An electronic newspaper is a great way to save money. Plus, you can easily update it as much as you want. Also, you don't have to waste time running to the printers or printing the paper off yourself. To promote your electronic paper, consider printing out promotional fliers. You can have a web address, or you could even use a QR code so students could access it. Most newspapers are divided into distinct sections. Some common sections include news, features, entertainment, sports, arts, and editorial. Think about what's most important at your school, and use that to establish major sections.  For instance, maybe your school has a heavy focus on academics and the arts. You could have sections such as news, features, arts, and editorials. If you're going for a print paper, keep in mind that the longer your paper is, the more expensive it's going to be. You may want to include a section with little snippets of news, an area where you can write anecdotal tidbits that don't warrant a full article. You can always start smaller. You can always work up to a bigger newspaper later. In fact, you can just stick to one section to begin with, such as news. When you're first starting out, you probably don't want to...

The audio cable will likely need to be console-specific. You can use a composite or component cable to transfer the audio signal when connecting via HDMI. Newer consoles may only support a separate optical connection for audio. Most converter boxes will have an input and an output. Connect the two audio cables (Red and White) to the matching plugs on the Input side of the box. Match up the speaker plugs by color if you are connecting computer speakers. If connecting headphones, use the green plug on the converter. Some converters only output to a single plug, in which case simply plug your speakers or headphones into it. You'll need to adjust your console's settings so that it outputs sound through the audio cable instead of the HDMI cable. The process for changing your console's audio output varies depending on the console. Generally, you can find this option in the Audio settings in your console's main Settings menu.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Conecta un cable de audio por separado para las conexiones HDMI. Conecta el cable de audio en el convertidor. Conecta las bocinas o los audífonos al puerto de salida del convertidor. Configura la salida de audio de tu consola (conexión HDMI).


The author will be on the outside of the book or on the title page. It's ok if there is more than one author. For our example, let's say your author's name is Georgia Smith. The publication date should be on the back of the title page. Use the most recent date. For the example, let's say the book's publication date is 1995. You have two basic ways that you can make a citation. You can name your author at the beginning of the sentence like this, using only the last name: “According to Smith (1995), leaves turn red in the fall.” Notice that in this instance, the date is in parentheses while “Smith” is not. The other way you can make an in-text citation is to put a citation at the end of the sentence without directly referencing the author in the sentence. This would look like the example: “Leaves turn red in the fall (Smith, 1995).” In this case, both the author and the date are in parenthesis, divided by a comma. Always put the author first and then the date. If you have two authors, you can separate the authors' last names with an ampersand (&). If you have more than two authors, you separate them with commas and an ampersand.  Example of in-text citation for two authors: “Leaves turn read in the fall (Smith & Davis, 1995). Example of in-text citation for three or more authors: “Leaves turn red in the fall (Smith, Davis, & Baxter, 1995).”  With three to five authors, you always list all the authors the first time you cite the source. After that, you'll use “et al.” in this way: “(Smith et al., 1995).” “Et al.” just means “and others.” If you have six or more authors, you will always use the “et al.” version, even with the first citation you make. In some instances, you'll also need the page number to explain where you found the information. You must have the page number if you are using a direct quote. Let's say you found this quote on page 123: “In my experience, leaves change from dark green to red in the fall.” You can cite this information in one of two ways. Whichever way you choose, always put the page...

The average American spends 34 hours a week watching TV, and that's not even including in front of your phone, tablet or computer. You know what you're doing when you're in front of a screen? Not moving and being productive, that's for sure! Start by cutting out just 30 minutes of TV or computer usage every day. See the things you can get done! You might actually be happier, too. Not only will you not be sitting down, lazily, comparing your life to the amazing ones you see on Facebook, but you'll be getting up and getting stuff done. Even if it's just doing the laundry, it's something! . Let's not beat around the bush because it's about the farthest thing away from rocket science: exercise is good for you, helps keep the weight off, and can improve your mood. Ideally you want to get around 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day, but whatever you're capable of is a step in the right direction. You don't have to sign up for the gym or go buy running shoes and start saving up for your inevitable knee replacement. Make exercise a part of your lifestyle instead of something you have to go out of your way to do. Take hikes, go swimming, sign up for a league. When exercise isn't work, it's enjoyable and you do more of it. There's no reason you can't keep it fun and natural. When you start out on the wrong path at an early age, it's infinitely harder to get back on the right track. So start your children out right! Making sure they make good decisions will help you make your own good decisions, too. Here are some basics:  Be a good role model. If your children see you scarfing a bag of Fritos, they'll do the same. Show them that eating healthily is just a normal, everyday thing. If you don't want the Fritos, they'll be less inclined to want the Fritos, too. Be encouraging. That is, encourage physical activity, drinking water, and eating only when they're hungry. Offer to do active things with them or get them a glass of water when you're thirsty. Eat meals together so they're not eating alone (and more often). But...

The average IQ score is approximately 100. Anything below 80 indicates a potential deficiency, and anything above 120 is considered high intelligence. 68% of the population falls in the 85-115 range. Scores between the WAIS and the Stanford-Binet scale vary by several points. Specifically, compare your age to the age range of the administered test. For example, the WISC-III is designed for children aged 6-16. Because of this, a fifteen-year-old will score higher than an equally intelligent six-year-old. This difference is not big, but it is significant.  IQ-tests are designed with age in mind, so if you take the correct test for your age, getting a high score when you are young is not any more or less impressive than getting a higher score at an older age. In other words, a twelve-year-old with an IQ of 143 is not "better" than a thirty-year-old with an IQ of 143. IQ generally decreases over a lifetime. Mensa is the oldest and largest high IQ society, especially in the United States and England. Scores in the 98th percentile or higher qualify for Mensa. You will need a 130 or higher on the WAIS test or at least a 132 on the Stanford-Binet test. Intelligence is much more multi-layered than a single test could measure. IQ tests only measure verbal and academic potential. Intelligence comes in many other facets (such as social or artistic), which cannot be measured by an IQ test. View your IQ test score as a facet of your ability, not the full reflection.

The average deviation is a more detailed measure of the precision of a group of measurements or experiment values. The first step in finding the average deviation is to calculate the mean of the measured values. The mean is the sum of the values, divided by the number of measurements taken. For this example, use the same sample data as before. Assume that five measurements have been taken, 11, 13, 12, 14, and 12. The mean of these values is (11+13+12+14+12)/5=12.4. For this calculation of precision, you need to determine how close each value is to the mean. To do this, subtract the mean from each number. For this measurement, it does not matter whether the value is above or below the mean. Subtract the numbers and just use the positive value of the result. This is also called the absolute value.  Algebraically, the absolute value is shown by placing two vertical bars around the calculation, as follows:  Absolute deviation=|x−μ|{\displaystyle {\text{Absolute deviation}}=|x-\mu |} For this calculation, x{\displaystyle x} represents each of the experimental values, and μ{\displaystyle \mu } is the calculated mean.   For the values of this sample data set, the absolute deviations are:  |12−12.4|=0.4{\displaystyle |12-12.4|=0.4} |11−12.4|=1.4{\displaystyle |11-12.4|=1.4} |14−12.4|=1.6{\displaystyle |14-12.4|=1.6} |13−12.4|=0.6{\displaystyle |13-12.4|=0.6} |12−12.4|=0.4{\displaystyle |12-12.4|=0.4} Use the absolute deviations and find their mean. As you did with the original data set, you will add them together and divide by the number of values. This is represented algebraically as:  Average deviation=Σ|x−μ|n{\displaystyle {\text{Average deviation}}={\frac {\Sigma |x-\mu |}{n}}} For this sample data, the calculation is:  Average deviation=0.4+1.4+1.6+0.6+0.45{\displaystyle {\text{Average deviation}}={\frac {0.4+1.4+1.6+0.6+0.4}{5}}} Average deviation=4.45{\displaystyle {\text{Average deviation}}={\frac {4.4}{5}}} Average deviation=0.88{\displaystyle {\text{Average deviation}}=0.88} This result may be reported as...

The average menstrual cycle lasts 28 days and starts on the first day of menstruation or bleeding. After menstruation ends, your body prepares to ovulate, or release an egg for potential fertilization and pregnancy. Ovulation, the peak of fertility in your cycle, usually happens around day 14 of the cycle. Because of this, the three to four days before ovulation are increasingly fertile, but fertility drops off following ovulation. If no egg is fertilized by sperm following ovulation, your body will enter an infertile phase, followed by menstruation, and the cycle repeats. While you can keep track of the basics of your menstrual cycle (when your period starts and ends) on a calendar, you'll need to pay attention to physical symptoms of fertility. Cervical mucus is one of the best indicators of your fertility. Since your fertility is different from day to day, monitoring your cervical mucus every day will give you a more accurate indicator of fertility than if you were only tracking dates on the calendar. You'll also need a basal body thermometer to take your temperature every morning. The basal body thermometer gives a more detailed temperature reading, usually to the 1/100th of a degree. You'll be tracking your temperature to confirm if you have ovulated. You'll need to consider why you want to use NFP (planning or preventing a pregnancy). If trying to prevent a pregnancy using NFP, you'll need to be disciplined enough to take and chart your cervical mucus and temperature every day. You'll also have to follow the rules concerning sexual abstinence during fertile periods (or use backup contraception). If trying to become pregnant, NFP can be a great way to understand what's happening in your menstrual cycle, making it easier to time sex around your most fertile times. Since NFP doesn't protect against Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), you may still want to use a condom, especially if you're not in a monogamous relationship.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aprende de qué forma tu fertilidad se ve afectada por tu ciclo menstrual. Prepárate para prestar atención a los indicios de fertilidad. Determina si la planificación familiar natural es adecuada para ti.


The average person urinates about six to seven times in a 24-hour period. It is still normal to urinate eight times during the day and once during the night. Urinating more than twice during the night is not normal, however. The average person does not urinate more than two cups every two hours, or more than 10 times after drinking two liters. As you get older, the tissues in your bladder become tough, and as a result, are less flexible. Additionally, you bladder muscles get weaker as you age. Combined, these factors can cause older individuals, i.e., 55 years and older, to urinate more frequently. Contact a doctor if you urinate more than twice during the night. If you are taking medications, consider the effects these medications can have on your urination frequency. Double-check the side effects with your doctor. Additionally, diuretics like caffeine can irritate your bladder causing you to urinate frequently.  By reducing your caffeine intake, you can reduce your urination frequency. Alcohol is also a bladder irritant that can cause you to urinate frequently. While you are tracking the frequency of your trips to the bathroom, you should also be tracking the volume of urine you produce. If you are urinating more than 2.5 liters (2,500 cc or ml) per day, then you may have an excessive amount of urine, known as polyuria. This should be addressed by your doctor, as the underlying cause could be serious (such as diabetes or kidney problems). Drinking too much water, juice, and other liquids relative to your size may also cause you to urinate frequently. The amount of liquids you should drink per day depends on your weight. Calculate your appropriate fluid intake by multiplying your weight by 0.5. The number you arrive it is how many ounces you should be drinking per day.  For example, if you weigh 120 pounds, then multiply 120 by 0.5. This equals 60. Therefore, you should be drinking 60 ounces of liquids per day. If you work out, add 12 ounces of liquids for every 30 minutes you exercise. So if the person in...

The avocado butter will be freshest if you eat it right after you prepare it. Consider refrigerating it for 1-4 hours (in a covered bowl, or wrapped in parchment paper) before eating, if you'd like it cold. Consider the following ideas for eating avocado butter:   Spread avocado butter on toast. You can spread it thickly onto bread, English muffins, tortillas – anything onto which you'd spread regular butter.  Use avocado butter in a sandwich. You can use a lot of avocado butter as the key ingredient, or you can spread it thinly onto the bread as a condiment. Be aware that the more butter you used to make your avocado butter, the less you may want to eat in one sitting.  Mix avocado butter into a salad. This treat can make a great salad dressing. Serve it on the side, or toss it directly into the mix.  Eat avocado butter with any number of snacks. Dip chips or crackers; spread onto deviled eggs; dip your french fries into it; or eat it straight. You want to store the avocado butter in an air-tight container. To help the avocado keep its green color, you can put a layer of plastic wrap on top of the avocado butter (so it's touching the top surface). Fresh avocado butter should keep for three days in the refrigerator or a week in the freezer. The avocado will begin to brown within a few hours if isn't protected with concentrated lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit juice. Don't add more than a few drops – otherwise, you may impair the taste.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Come tu mantequilla de aguacate. Guarda la mantequilla de aguacate que no comiste en el refrigerador. Si no agregaste ácido cítrico a la receta, asegúrate de hacerlo antes de guardarla.


The baby's scalp won't be harmed if you use your hands to take off the "cap." It's the simplest, and one of the most effective, ways to get rid of the scales and dry patches that occur when a baby has cradle cap.  Rub your fingers over the scaly patches, then gently peel and scrape away the scaly dead skin and discard it. If you don't want to use your fingers to pick off the scales, put on a pair of thin latex gloves (as long as your baby isn't allergic to latex). You could also cover your hands with plastic wrap to prevent directly touching the scales. Keep in mind that cradle cap is not contagious, and picking off the scales will make your baby more comfortable. Don't use tweezers or another sharp tool to remove the scales, since you may accidentally poke the baby's head and cause an injury. every day. Use warm water to bath the baby's head, and gently massage his or her scalp with your fingers. The water will help loosen the cradle cap scales, when you can then peel or scrape away.  Using a mild baby shampoo can help loosen the scales, so consider adding one to your washing routine. However, you may find that shampoo dries the baby's scalp out further. Use a soft-bristled brush to help loosen the scales while the baby's head is still wet. Sometimes cradle cap scales need a little outside help before you can peel them off. Spread baby oil or petroleum jelly on the dry patches, then wait 15 minutes to let the scales soften before removing them.  Olive oil and vegetable oil also work well for removing the scales. Use shampoo and warm water to wash away the oil when you're finished. Leaving traces of oil can actually make the problem worse by causing more scales to form.

The back and/or bottom of the forward-facing car seat should have openings where a back seat belt should pass through so it can be buckled on the other side. After pulling the belt through and buckling it, push down on the car seat and pull on the belt so that it locks. Make sure that the belt is not twisted or bunched up as you pull it through. Many forward-facing car seats include an attached tether that feeds over the top of the vehicle’s seat and latches onto a metal anchor on the back. Locate this anchor and latch the tether belt to it, tightening it afterwards. Consult your vehicle’s manual if you can’t find an anchor. Your forward-facing seat may instead use the latch system. Two buckles with metal hooks attached to the bottom of the car seat should latch onto designated spots where the back and bottom of the vehicle’s seat meet. Pull on the belt of the buckles to tighten. A forward-facing car seat with the latch system may also include a tether and/or place to feed the seatbelt through. If so, use these in addition to the latch system to make the seat as secure as possible.

The bacteria that causes group A strep (that causes scarlet fever) comes from the nose and mouth. Scarlet fever spreads via bacteria in droplets of sneezes and coughs. Don't let anyone spray you with their germs! It might be faster to cut up her food, but get a different knife for your own use. The sick child's germs can easily make their way into your system, too. You will be of no use to your beloved little one if you become ill. If there are other children in the home who are not infected, do not allow them to come into contact with the sick child or play in the same areas. Keep your child home from daycare or school as well. You don't want other children to catch scarlet fever from your child. with soap. You should already be doing this regularly, so it is the easiest advice to follow. Hand washing rids your hands of germs that you could spread to your mouth, eyes or nose. Be sure to wash regularly and especially before eating and drinking.

The bag is used to trap the ethylene gas, which ripens the avocado. Make sure there aren't any holes in it! The paper bag is just a trap. If you can devise some other mechanism that will trap in the air in the same way, great! That can be used, too. Your grandma might tell you to store it in the flour bin, but you may have to settle for the empty McDonald's bag. Bananas are best, but the other fruits will do it, too. Some prefer using an apple because it can be used over and over again, even after it becomes old and wrinkly - it still emits gas.   If you have none of these, but another avocado or two, put them all together. These fruits emit more ethylene gas that other fruits. And the more ethylene gas they produce, the quicker everything will ripen. Keep it out of sunlight; 65º-75º F (18º-24º C) is best. If you don't have extra fruit in your bag, this will take 2-5 days. The added fruit will speed the ripening process considerably and it should ripen within 1 - 3 days. Your avocado is ready when it is easy to peel; feel it to see if it gives slightly as sometimes it's hard to tell by colour. An unripe avocado will be nice and green. As it ripens, it will get hints of purple and black (that's when you can use it in about 2 days). When it's ready for your next meal, it's so dark green/brown it's practically purplish black.Once it's ripe, it will keep in the fridge for a few days, but it will lose its taste as time progresses.

The bar for each item can be either clustered or stacked depending upon how you want to compare the variables.  Each item on the spreadsheet is listed separately in a single bar. There are no lines connecting them. If you are using our previous example with weekly, quarterly and yearly sales, you can create a different bar in a different color for each individual. You can choose whether to have the bars side by side or condensed into a single bar. If you want to plot data over time, this is the best way to show how a data series has changed over time, such as in days, weeks or years. Each piece of data in your series will be a dot on your line graph. The lines will connect these dots to show changes. This type of graph is similar to a line graph because it plots data on an x/y axis. You can choose to leave the data points unconnected in a marked scatter graph or connect them with smooth or straight lines. The scatter graph is perfect for plotting many different variables on the same chart, allowing the smooth or straight lines to intersect. You can easily show trends in data. Surface charts are great for comparing 2 sets of data, area charts show changes in magnitude and pie charts show percentages of data.

The bark of sugar maple trees changes color as it ages. The bark of younger trees will be grayish-brown in color. As the sugar maple trees mature, the bark will deepen to a dark brown. It is characterized by vertical grooves that are closely spaced.  The bark can be described as “furrowed,” and has deep rifts or valleys between each plate of bark. Sugar maple trees are often confused with Norway maples (Acer platanoides) in Europe and western Asia. The two are most easily distinguished by their bark: the bark of a young Norway maple is one thin layer. Over time, Norway maple bark will develop vertical fissures, but they are not as deep and pronounced as the fissures of the Sugar maple, and do not lift up as much around the edges of the bark plates. The edges of the plates of bark gradually lift as a sugar maple gets older, and the plates flake away from top to bottom once the tree has reached maturity. Mature sugar maple trees may appear “shaggy” from a distance, due to the exaggerated peeling plates of bark that the trees develop. Twigs are the small, thin branches that grow out of larger branches, and off of which the individual leaves grow. Look for twigs that are narrow, sleek, and a reddish-brown color. The small buds at the ends of each twig should be covered with tiny brown-colored scales.  During the winter months, you may find brown, cone-shaped buds growing along the length of the twigs, in an opposite orientation, and 1 larger bud growing straight out from the terminal end of the twigs.  Twig buds are also useful in distinguishing Sugar maples from Norway maples. The buds of the Norway maple are larger than those of the Sugar maple. Norway maple buds are covered in larger purple scales, which form a rounded tip.

The base unit of capacitance is the farad (F). This value is much too large for ordinary circuits, so household capacitors are labeled with one of the following units:  1 µF, uF, or mF = 1 microfarad = 10-6 farads. (Careful — in other contexts, mF is the official abbreviation for millifarads, or 10-3 farads.) 1 nF = 1 nanofarad = 10-9 farads. 1 pF, mmF, or uuF = 1 picofarad = 1 micromicrofarad = 10-12 farads. Most large capacitors have a capacitance value written on the side. Slight variations are common, so look for the value that most closely matches the units above. You may need to adjust for the following:  Ignore capital letters in the units. For example, "MF" is just a variation on "mf." (It is definitely not a megafarad, even though this is the official SI abbreviation.) Don't get thrown by "fd." This is just another abbreviation for farad. For example, "mmfd" is the same as "mmf." Beware single-letter markings such as "475m," usually found on smaller capacitors.See below for instructions. Some capacitors list a tolerance, or the maximum expected range in capacitance compared to its listed value. This isn't important in all circuits, but you may need to pay attention to this if you require a precise capacitor value. For example, a capacitor labeled "6000uF +50%/-70%" could actually have a capacitance as high as 6000uF + (6000 * 0.5) = 9000uF, or as low as 6000 uF - (6000uF * 0.7) = 1800uF. If there is no percentage listed, look for a single letter after the capacitance value or on its own line. This may be code for a tolerance value, described below. If there is room on the body of the capacitor, the manufacturer usually lists voltage as a number followed by a V, VDC, VDCW, or WV (for "Working Voltage"). This is the maximum voltage the capacitor is designed to handle.  1 kV = 1,000 volts.  See below if you suspect your capacitor uses a code for voltage (a single letter or one digit and one letter). If there is no symbol at all, reserve the cap for low-voltage circuits only. If you are building an AC...

The baseline for how much you should tip your server in the United States is at least 15 percent when eating in a restaurant. However, this is generally considered the minimum. If you leave anything less than this, it’s likely the server will be very offended.  Be aware that tipping only the basic 15 percent is considered a statement that the service was just average or OK to some servers. Consider tipping more if you thought the service was better than average. Consider tipping 20 percent if the service was good, 25 percent if the service was great, and 30 percent if the service was exceptional.  Some people believe you should also tip $2 for each person at the table if that amount is higher than the tip percentage would be. Some people struggle to figure out how much 15 percent is exactly. You can use an easy math shortcut to determine the amount you need to leave!  To figure out the tip, you will need to do a simple mathematical equation. Some suggest rounding the bill up to the nearest $10 before figuring out the tip on the total.  Move the decimal point to the left on your final bill amount. That’s 10 percent. So, if your bill is $55.00, 10 percent is $5.50. To figure out 15%, take half of $5.50 and add it to the $5.50. Thus, 15 percent would be $8.25. To calculate 20 percent, shift the decimal point on your bill amount to the left. Round up. For example, $35.84 would become $3.58. Remember, that’s 10 percent. Then, double the number to get 20 percent. There will be some circumstances where the tip will already be factored into your bill. In those cases, you don’t need to tip again.  Typically, the gratuity will be 15 or 18 percent when it’s automatically included. Some restaurants have a rule that the tip is automatically included when large groups dine. It will usually say “gratuity included” on your bill or the menu in those cases. This is done because if even one or two people in the group were to skimp on the tip, the server would be unlikely to make the basic amount. Large groups are very time...

The basic Pokémon types are: bug, dark, dragon, electric, fairy, fighting, fire, flying, ghost, grass, ground, ice, poison, psychic, rock, steel, and water. However, there are also special types and hybrids, flying/ice to give one example. Collect all like-type Pokémon in one section apiece. Organizing by type is one of the more popular ways to organize cards for active players of the Pokémon TCG. This is because you can easily search your collection for useful type combinations. Even after separating your cards by type, if you have many cards it will be difficult to navigate your type groupings without a little more organization. You should create a sub-category within your type groups. You can do this by ordering the cards alphabetically or by national number, to name two options. You'll have to decide the order you'll store your sorted Pokémon types. You may want to do this alphabetically, with bug coming first, then dark, then dragon, and so on. If you are an active player, you may want to have your most used type first, followed by your second most used type, and so on.

The basic bath salt mixture can be spruced up for any occasion or for a personalized gift, and there are many options for adding new ingredients, extracts, and oils. To make a relaxing and soothing bath salt mixture, take your basic bath salts and gently stir in:  One tablespoon (2.4 g) of fresh rosemary Two tablespoons (4.8 g) of lavender flowers Peppermint essential oil, 10 drops Eucalyptus essential oil, five drops Rosemary essential oil, five drops Lavender essential oil, five drops Cinnamon essential oil, five drops For a refreshing and rejuvenating bath, try a citrus bath salt mix. Choose a citrus fruit (or combination), such as orange, lemon, or lime. Zest the fruit and add the zest to your basic bath salt mixture. Then, cut the fruit in half, extract the juice, and add this to your bath salt mixture as well. Complementary essential oils include:  Bergamot Tangerine Grapefruit Orange, lemon, or lime Mint Herbal bath salts for relaxing and refreshing baths can be made using a combination of essential oils, extracts, and one to two tablespoons (2.4 to 4.8 g) of dried or fresh ground herbs. Once you’ve added the herbs, rub the salt and herbs together in your fingers to release the oils. Some of the more popular bath-time herbs include:  Rosemary Thyme Mint or peppermint Basil Sage When you are sick or feeling under the weather, a calming bath with medicinal bath salts might be exactly what the doctor ordered. To make a batch of cold-relieving bath salts that will help clear your sinuses, add in:  Five to 10 drops of eucalyptus essential oil Five to 10 drops of rosemary essential oil Two tablespoons of fresh or dried ground peppermint Similar to the herbal bath salt concoction, floral bath salts can be made with a combination of essential oils and fresh or dried flower petals or pods. Like with the herbs, if you are using fragrant flowers like lavender, rub the flowers or leaves between your fingers to release the oils after adding them to the salt. Popular flower choices are:  One-quarter cup (9.6 g) of...

The basic essentials for living in a car are a blanket, a pillow, and a mattress or some other padding. Due to the angles involved in the seating setup, you may develop dull back pain from the cramped quarters. Should this happen, be sure to have pain medication on hand. Once you have your sleeping gear, you'll want a blanket to place over the back seat, and draped over the two front seats. This will block light and people's views.  A cheap cooler will help make life easier. The main thing the cooler needs is to be waterproof. Cold food will cause condensation, while ice will melt. You don't want that water inside of your car. A cooler will help keep your perishable food cool. It will work most efficiently when full, so add bottles of cold water to it as you take out food. If you choose to buy an electric cooler, it will need good ventilation to work. For this reason, it will not work well in your car's boot. It is best placed within the car when running. Make sure it is only running when the engine runs, or use a low voltage cut out device, as explained below. Make sure the cooling vent grille is not touching anything as it exhausts waste heat and may set some things on fire. One essential item, if you can afford it is a Porta-Potty, a chemical toilet. These devices can really make living in a car bearable. They can be purchased for under $100 new these days. If you can't afford a Porta-Potty or don't have room for one, you can pee into wide necked bottles like Gatorade bottles, or make an improvised bucket style toilet. Have a spare tire and at least one can of tire sealant. Be sure the sealant is of the type that can be removed. A cigarette lighter converter is one option. These are useful for powering low consuming devices (100 watts), but if you plan on using your vehicle for cooking, then you'll need to draw power more directly from your battery or you'll blow the fuse. Running electric cooking appliances from your car though is fairly impractical without an expensive dual battery and inverter system....

The basic formula for mass percent of a compound is: mass percent = (mass of chemical/total mass of compound) x 100. You must multiply by 100 at the end to express the value as a percentage.  Write the equation at the beginning of every problem: mass percent = (mass of chemical/total mass of compound) x 100. Both of the values should be in grams so that they cancel each other out once you solve the equation. The mass of the chemical you’re interested in is the mass given in the problem. If the mass isn’t given, refer to the following section about solving for mass percent when the mass is not given. The total mass of the compound is calculated by summing the masses of all of the chemicals used to make the compound or solution. When you know the masses of all the elements or compounds being added together, you simply need to add them together to calculate the total mass of the final compound or solution. This will be the denominator in the mass percent calculation.  Example 1: What is the percent mass of 5g of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 100g of water? The total mass of the compound is the amount of sodium hydroxide plus the amount of water: 100g + 5g for a total mass of 105g.  Example 2: What masses of sodium chloride and water are needed to make 175 g of a 15% solution? In this example, you are given the total mass and the percentage you want, but are asked to find the amount of solute to add to the solution. The total mass is 175 g. When asked to find the "mass percent", you are being asked to find the mass of a particular chemical (the chemical-in-question) as a percentage of the total mass of all elements. Write down the mass of chemical-in-question. This mass will be the numerator in the mass percent calculation.  Example 1: The mass of the chemical-in-question is 5g of sodium hydroxide. Example 2: For this example, the mass of the chemical-in-question is the unknown you are trying to calculate. Once you have determined the values for each variable, plug them into the equation.

The basic formula for mass percent of a compound is: mass percent = (molar mass of element/total molecular mass of compound) x 100. The molar mass of a compound is the amount of mass for one mole of an element while the molecular mass is the amount of mass for one mole of the entire compound. You must multiply by 100 at the end to express the value as a percentage.  Write out the equation at the beginning of every problem: mass percent = (molar mass of element/total molecular mass of compound) x 100. Both values have units of grams per mole (g/mol). This means the units will cancel each other out when you solve the equation. When you aren’t given masses, you can find the mass percent of an element within a compound using molar mass. Example 1: Find the mass percent of Hydrogen in a water molecule.  Example 2: Find the mass percent of carbon in a glucose molecule. If you are not given the chemical formulas for each compound, you will need to write them out. If you are given the chemical formulas you may skip this step, and proceed to the "Find the mass of each element" step.  Example 1: Write out the chemical formula for water, H2O. Example 2: Write out the chemical formula for glucose, C6H12O6. Look up the molecular weight of each element in your chemical formulas on the periodic table. The mass of an element can usually be found underneath the chemical symbol. Write down the masses of every element in the compound.  Example 1: Look up the molecular weight of Oxygen, 15.9994; and the molecular weight of Hydrogen, 1.0079.  Example 2: Look up the molecular weight of Carbon, 12.0107; Oxygen, 15.9994; and Hydrogen, 1.0079. Identify how many moles (mole ratio) of each element are in your chemical compounds. The mole ratio is given by the subscript number in the compound. Multiply the molecular mass of each element by this mole ratio.  Example 1: Hydrogen has a subscript of two while oxygen has a subscript of 1. Therefore, multiply the molecular mass of Hydrogen by 2, 1.00794 X 2 = 2.01588; and leave the molecular...

The basic method for breaking into a car with automatic locks without damaging anything is to wedge a space in the door and use a long poker to hit the lock button. It may be crude, but it's more or less exactly what a locksmith will do if you call one, except doing this won't waste you $80 bucks for five minutes of work. To do this, you'll need one wedge and one poker. Possibilities include:   The best wedges can include putty knives and door stops, the thinner the better. Ideally, you want to open up only as much space as is necessary to insert your poker. Locksmiths use an inflating balloon to pump air and create space.   The best pokers include the antenna from the car, unscrewed, and a straightened wire hanger. You might need a pair of pliers to straighten out the hanger, and consider doubling it up to have better control and pushing power when you get to the lock button. Pretty much any tool that is narrow enough to fit through the window crack and long enough to reach the lock button will work. Jam a doorstop or equivalent wedge-like tool into the space between the upper part of the door and the car. Firmly tap the wedge into the door/car space using the heel of your hand. If you are concerned about damaging your car's paint, cover the wedge with cloth or some kind of felted surface to protect the paint before beginning. The jammed wedge will create a gap between the door and the car body. Insert your rod into the space between the door and the car body. Guide the rod towards the lock button. Firmly press the button with your rod. It may take a few tries to get at it, but once you do, you'll have successfully broken into your car. Open the door and retrieve your keys.

The basic pattern for the bridge is (finally) different from the intro/verse pattern. Luckily, we already know most of the chords we'll use. Start by playing a Cadd9-Dsus4-Em7-Em7 twice. Note that the Em7 repeats. For reference, the bridge is the part of the song that starts, "...and all the paths we have to walk are winding..." You'll switch from the Em7 to the Cadd9 when the second line starts: "...and all the lights that lead..." This is without a doubt the trickiest part of the song, but all it takes is a little practice to master. You'll start out the progression the same as before, but end with a quick run through of G5 chords with a moving bassline. This is easier than it sounds.  First, finger the G5 chord simply by putting your middle finger on the third fret of the low E string (G).  G5 ChordHigh E string: 3B string: 3G string: 0D string: 0A string: 2Low E string: 3  Then, slide your middle finger down one fret and put your index finger on the second fret of the G string (A).  G5/F# ChordHigh E string: 3B string: 3G string: 2D string: 0A string: 0Low E string: 2  Then, move your fingers together to the second frets of the A and D strings (B and E) so that you're basically fingering the Em7 chord from before:  G5/E ChordHigh E string: 3B string: 3G string: 0D string: 2A string: 2Low E string: 0  Hit these chords on "like," "say," and "you": "There are many things that I would like (G5) to say (G5/F#) to you (G5/E)..." After the fast passage above, just fret the same G5 chord from before, then switch to the A7sus4 chord and keep strumming it for a few repetitions. You've just made your way through the bridge. Transition from the held A7sus4 to the chorus section (below). Hit the A7sus4 chord on "how": "...like to say to you, but I don't know how (A7sus4)..."
