You will need architects, landscapers, a construction firm experienced with installing amusement park rides, and experienced project managers to guide the project to completion. There are specialized companies who will oversee all aspects of building, or you can take that role on yourself and pick your contractors. You will need to have vetted two or three potential locations before approaching investors. Now is the time to pick one, based on availability, cost, and the factors unearthed in your feasibility study:   Ease of access for local residence and tourists. Climate. Surrounding neighborhood and businesses. Potential for expansion. Zoning rules for the proposed site and the surrounding area. The schematic designs used to attract investors must now be fleshed out in detail, including engineering studies for all of the rides and attractions. Clearly document how each aspect of the park will be constructed. You will need a business license to begin construction, as well as local construction permits. In addition, there are a variety of other licenses you will need before the park opens, as well as regulations you will want to adhere to:  You will likely need state and or local food/alcohol service licenses, public entertainment licenses, amusement park licenses, and more. All states except for Alabama, Mississippi, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and South Dakota regulate amusement parks, so you will need to be sure your park conforms to their regulations. You will also want to make sure your park conforms to the standards of the ASTM International F-24 Committee on Amusement Ride and Devices. You or the company you have hired to oversee construction will want to competitively bid the various aspects of construction in order to reduce costs as much as possible. Once you have chosen your builders, negotiate contracts and a schedule for completion. Plan to open your park at the beginning of summer to maximize initial attendance. Here is where your dream starts to become a reality. The builders you have contracted...

You will need at least 1 inch of water in the bottom of the steamer so that you do not risk burning or damaging your pan. However, you want to make sure that the water is low enough so that no liquid, only steam, will be cooking the corn. Place the steamer over high heat until boiling, then reduce to a simmer. Place the frozen corn in a steaming basket or sieve before placing the sieve into the steamer. Add any seasoning you would like, this could be fresh herbs, spices, or simply salt and pepper. You may need to run the frozen corn, while still in the bag, under warm water to reduce clumping. Place the sieve or steaming basket into the steamer, place the lid on top of it,  and steam the corn until it is tender, which should approximately 3-5 minutes. Check the corn after the initial cooking time to make sure that it is properly cooked. Check to see if your steamer has enough water left, no less than 1 inch, before steaming your corn. Once tender, remove the steamer or sieve and gently shake over the sink. You can pour out the contents of the steamers into a bowl or onto a plate and continue seasoning.

You will need at least one ball of yarn to work the moss stitch. You can choose any yarn texture or color. You can work the moss stitch in a single color or you can alternate colors as you start new rows to create a colorful pattern. Consider your desired results for your project to determine if you want to use one yarn color or multiple colors. For example, you could work a project using only red yarn, or you could alternate red, yellow, and blue yarns for a colorful result. You may use any type or size of yarn to work the moss stitch, but you will need to ensure that the crochet hook you choose is appropriate for the yarn. Check the label on your yarn for hook size recommendations. For example, if you are working with a medium worsted weight yarn, then a hook within the range of an I-9 (6.5 mm) through a K-10 (9 mm) will yield the best results. an even number of stitches. Start with an even number of chained stitches. To make a chain, loop your yarn around your finger twice, and then pull the first loop through the second loop. Transfer this loop to your hook and tighten it by pulling on the tail. Then, loop your working yarn over your hook and pull this yarn through the loop. This will create your first chain. To make another chain, yarn over the hook again, and pull through again.  Keep making chains until you have the desired number. You may chain as many stitches as you like, as long as you chain an even number. For example, you might only chain 10 stitches if you just want to practice the moss stitch, or you might chain 120 stitches if you want to make a moss stitch blanket. into the 4th chain from the hook. To begin your 1st row, work a single crochet stitch into the 4th chain from your hook (not counting the chain that is on your hook). Insert your crochet hook into the 4th chain from your hook and then yarn over the hook. Pull the yarn through the chain and then yarn over again. Pull the yarn through both stitches on the hook to complete 1 single crochet stitch. Next, chain 1 stitch. This stitch...

You will need both the bottom pot and the upper pot; you will not need the lid that came with your double boiler, unless the recipe or project specifically calls for one. If you do not have a double boiler, you can make your own using a large pot and a shallow, heat-resistant bowl that can fit over it.  The bowl in your homemade double boiler should fit snugly onto the large pot. There should be no gaps or spaces between the bowl and the rim of the pot. The bottom of the bowl should not touch bottom of the large pot. If you are making your own double boiler, consider using a glass or ceramic bowl instead of a metal one. Glass and ceramic bowls don't transfer heat as much as metal ones do, which means that they heat slower and more evenly, thus giving you more control. You will need about two inches (5.08 centimeters) of water. Double boilers heat items with steam, not hot water, so the bottom of your upper pot (or bowl if you are using a homemade double boiler) should not be touching any water that you add into the large pot. You may need to add more water or pour some water out in order to get the right amount. Consider having some extra water nearby. The water level in your double boiler will decrease the longer you cook. You can prevent the water level from going too low and scorching your bottom pot by having a cup of water nearby. When the water level gets too low, refill the bottom pot with more water. The upper container should fit snugly over the bottom one. If bottom is touching the water, you have added too much water and will need to pour some out. The amount of water will vary depending on what double boiler you are using, but you should have about two inches of water. This will ensure that you have enough water (and thus steam) to last through most of your recipe or project. The water will make it heavy, so make sure that you are using both hands to carry it.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reúne los materiales. Llena la olla inferior parcialmente con agua. Coloca la olla superior o el bol por encima de la olla inferior. Coloca toda la olla doble armada en la estufa.


You will need boxes, packing papers, packing cushion, and packing tape to get all of your things ready to move.  Purchase boxes from local shipping or hardware stores, including boxes made for specific items like plates or glasses. Ask retail stores for free, discarded boxes from shipments they receive. Purchase packing paper, or you can use recycled newspaper from friends and family. A trick for free packing cushion is to use your hand towels to wrap things like plates or glasses as a cushion. It's best to pack heavy items such as books in smaller boxes so they are easier to pick up and move. Save big boxes for light weight things like pillows, linens, and clothing. Keep items from the same room in the same box. Avoid putting items from different rooms in the same box to help you label things more accurately. This will make unpacking easier when you get to your new home. Make sure you clearly label all of your boxes so you know where to put them when you unpack. It's helpful to label the boxes on three sides so no matter how you load the boxes you'll be able to read the label. It's a good idea to label the boxes with the contents of the box as well as the room they go in. You might arrive to your new home before your belongings do, so it's important to keep your everyday items like toiletries with you as you travel.  You should bring a week's worth of clothes, shoes, and accessories with you. Toiletries and medications  should be packed with you on your trip. Jewelry or irreplaceable keepsakes should travel with you to ensure they don't get damaged or lost.

TL;DR in Spanish:

You will need corn starch, a measuring cup, a lighter or matches, a candle, a ceramic bowl, a knife or paintbrush, and a mixing bowl. The mixing bowl can be glass, plastic, or ceramic. However, you can’t substitute the ceramic bowl for another kind of bowl. The process of making the fingerprint powder can crack glass and melt plastic. If you decide that making your own powder is too much trouble, you can buy it from science and hobby supply stores or online. First, use the lighter or the matches to light the candle. Next, hold the bottom of the ceramic bowl over the flame. The candle will burn a layer of soot onto the bottom of the bowl. Move the bowl over the flame so that every part of the bottom touches the candle.  Wear an oven mitt or use a dishtowel to protect your hand from the heat. Always be careful when working with an open flame. Children should have adult supervision. Hold the soot-covered bowl over the mixing bowl. Next, use a dull knife or a paintbrush to scrape the soot off of the ceramic bowl and into the mixing bowl. You will have about a teaspoon of soot. The more soot you have, the more fingerprint powder you will be able to make.  Repeat these steps to make more soot as many times as you’d like. Scraping soot is very messy. If you want to avoid getting soot on your fingers, wear gloves. Similarly, cover your workspace with a towel to keep it clean. Use a measuring cup to evaluate how much soot you have gathered. Next, add an equal part of corn starch to the soot. Mix the two powders together well with a whisk. For example, if you collected a ¼ cup of soot, you would need to add a ¼ cup of corn starch. Place the fingerprint powder in a plastic food storage container with a lid. Alternatively, store your fingerprint powder in a plastic re-sealable bag. These containers are airtight and won’t allow any moisture into your powder. Keep the container on a shelf in a low-traffic area. Otherwise, someone may knock the powder over and create a sooty mess.

You will need cornstarch, water, a pot, tempera paint, and a sealable container to make your paint thicker. Have these materials ready when you begin this project. When the mixture is smooth and thick, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool. Stir the mixture after it has completely cooled.

TL;DR in Spanish:

You will need dirt, water, baking soda, white vinegar, and powdered tempera paint. You will also need a bowl to mix the materials. You might want to also gather additional bowls and a spoon to transfer the final product into multiple containers.  Start by using equal parts of dirt and water. Use whatever color tempera paint that you desire. You can even use multiple colors. In a large bowl combine dirt, water, and baking soda. Start by using equal parts dirt and water. Add more water or dirt to make the mud the consistency that you desire. Add two tablespoons of baking soda to the mud. Mix the ingredients with your hand or a large spoon. Leave enough room in the bowl to mix the ingredients. If you want to distribute the mud into multiple containers, do it before adding the paint. Then, toss some paint on top of the mud. Watch as the mud starts to change colors. Consider using muffin tins or pie pans to make different shapes with your magic mud. Start with a cup of vinegar, and pour some of it onto the top of the magic mud. Watch as the vinegar reacts with the baking soda. You can continue to add more vinegar to your mud until it no longer reacts with the baking soda. Notice how different colored mud creates different colored bubbles.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Junta los materiales necesarios. Mezcla algunos de los ingredientes. Añade la tempera en polvo. Añade vinagre blanco.


You will need enough knock down power for a clean kill, but not so much as to do extensive damage to the game's meat. Here are some examples:  Quail, dove, and other small game birds can be hunted with shotguns using shot sizes between size six and nine in field loads, using gauges from 20 ga. to 12 ga. Turkeys, geese, grouse, ducks, pheasants, etc require larger shot sizes, and preferably larger gauge guns. A 12 ga. or even 10 ga. shooting number two or number four shot is a good choice.  Rabbits and squirrels can be hunted with rim fire rifles using hollow point bullets, high powered air rifles shooting at least 750 fps, or shotguns similar to those used for quail and dove.  Deer, antelope, and sheep can be hunted with center fire rifles, bows, or muzzle loading rifles. Center fire cartridges should be at least .243 caliber with no smaller than 100 grain soft pointed bullets. Muzzle loading rifles should be at least .40 caliber, and bows should be capable of shooting a broad head arrow capable of delivering a clean kill.  Larger game, like elk, wild boar, moose, or bear, should be hunted with larger calibers, such as .30 caliber guns shooting 150 or higher grain soft pointed bullets. Dangerous game hunting requires a gun capable of bringing down charging animals. Modern bows can be equipped with peep sights, pin sights, illuminated or even telescopic sights. Shot guns usually only have a front bead, although slug guns may have rifle type iron sights, or in some cases laser dot sights. Rifles can be equipped with telescopic sights, iron sights, peep sites, red dot sights, or in some cases, combinations of these. There are single shot, double barreled, pump action, semi automatic rifles and shot guns, each with potentially different mechanisms of action. The same goes for bows: there are re-curve, compound, or cross bows. Some people even hunt with pistols.  Use a weapon you are capable of handling with confidence. You should do this until you are confident in your (and its) ability to do the job. You may...

You will need espresso, milk, and vanilla flavored syrup for this. You can do this using an espresso machine, Aeropress, or make strong coffee with a traditional filter machine.  You will need 1.5 fluid ounces of espresso for this recipe. If you have an espresso machine, froth 1.5 cups of milk. 2% or whole milk is better for frothing. You will want the milk to be between 145 and 155 degrees. Otherwise, froth your milk in the microwave by putting it into a jar. Shake it for 30-60 seconds and then microwave for 30 seconds without a lid. Measure 2 tablespoons of vanilla flavored syrup into a mug. Add the espresso to the mug. Pour in the milk, holding back the froth with a spoon. Add a spoon of foam on top of your latte. You will need strong brewed coffee, caramel flavored syrup, steamed milk, whipped cream, and caramel flavored sundae syrup to do this.  Put 1/2 cup of milk into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes. Whisk the hot milk until it is frothy. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of caramel flavored syrup into a coffee mug. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup of hot coffee to the mug and stir well. Add the steamed milk to the mug. If you prefer, you can add a small amount of whipped cream and caramel syrup drizzle to the top. You can use espresso or brewed coffee for this recipe. You will also need milk and ice.  Prepare 2 cups of espresso, if you prefer espresso based drinks. If you don't have an espresso maker or Aeropress, you should make a strong brewed coffee. To make a strong brewed coffee for this latte, make filter coffee from 1/3 cup coffee grounds and 2 cups of cold water. Combine the hot coffee or espresso with 3 cups of milk. Stir well or shake to combine. Pour over ice in individual glasses. If you want, you can add a flavor syrup to the milk and coffee mixture to make a flavored drink.

You will need fabric that is at least 23.5 inches (59.7 cm) wide. (Many fabrics are sold in widths of 45 inches.) To calculate the length, measure from your shoulder to your opposite hip. Then double that number and add six. In addition to fabric, you will also need matching thread and a sewing machine. If you are starting with fabric that is 45 inches (114.3 cm) wide, cut it in half length-wise. Each of the resulting pieces will make one pouch sling. Hem both of the long sides of your fabric by folding the edge of the fabric down 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) onto the wrong side and securing with a row of stitches. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, and then again widthwise so that the four corners are lined up. Then cut a small arc from the bottom (folded) area to the top edge, as if making half of a smile. Cutting all four of your corners at once will keep your arcs symmetrical. Now sew the four corners that you just rounded together using your sewing machine. This seam will be weight bearing, so it's best to use a strong seam, like a French seam. For a French seam, start with the wrong sides of the fabric facing each other and sew a seam just above the raw edges. Then turn the fabric inside out and sew another seam just above the raw edges. Try to make this seam as narrow as possible. This should encase your first seam. Lastly, turn the sling right side out again and stitch the seam flat along the inside. To wear your sling, fold it in half lengthwise with the hemmed edges together, putting your head and one arm through the center. It should be draped over one shoulder like a sash with the edges up and the seam in the front. This makes a pocket in which to place the baby.

TL;DR in Spanish:

You will need fine steel wool (#0000), a soft-bristled brush (such as a paintbrush), a vacuum with a soft brush head, rubber gloves (optional), safety glasses (optional), and a fan (optional).  You may wish to remove your contacts before getting started (or wear safety glasses), because all the steel dust may irritate or injure your eyes. You may wish to wear rubber gloves to protect your hands when using the steel wool. If not, be sure to wash your hands often as the grime will transfer to your hands and cause unsightly fingerprints on your clean windows. You want to begin with a clear, empty window. Don’t worry too much about getting off the adhesive residue from the stickers. Do a pre-wash with soapy water on very grimy windows to try and clean it slightly before moving on. This will knock the dust loose from the screen. You may want to position a fan so that it blows out of the window, otherwise the breeze from outside may blow all that dust and pollen back into your home. Do this systematically: start with the outside of the top pane, then the inside of the top pane, then the outside of the bottom pane, and so on. Continue until the entire window is clean. Steel wool removes the grime without scratching the glass. It will take a bit of elbow grease to remove the grime, particularly on the outside of the window. Have plenty of steel wool on hand, and take new pieces often. The steel wool tends to fall apart after a while, creating more dust while cleaning less effectively. The steel wool will flake and cause a lot of dust. Keep a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush-head handy and vacuum each section, including the windowsills, right after you finish.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Junta los materiales. Retira cualquier adorno o pegatina de la ventana. Abre la ventana y pasa el cepillo con cerdas por todo el mosquitero. Restriega una lana de acero por el vidrio. Aspira cada sección.


You will need help navigating the legalities of adoption. You can choose to work through a public or private adoption agency, and ask them to help you understand the laws. Another option is to immediately hire an experienced adoption attorney. Remember that the laws will differ depending on where you live and which path you are pursuing.  If you are working with an agency, it is a good idea to ask them to provide you with three references from people whom they have previously helped. It is also smart to do your own research. For example, in the U.S. you can contact Adopt US Kids to learn about different state laws, the reputation of agencies, and to learn about reputable attorneys. This is another instance where the process will vary depending on which country or state you live in. Typically, no matter what type of adoption you are pursuing, a home study will be required. The home study phase will include you receiving educational materials about adoption, participating in interviews, and answering a lot of questions about your ability to care for a child. In many cases, someone from the agency you are working with will make at least one visit to your home. They will want to take a look at the environment where you will be bringing the child you adopt. Once you have been approved to adopt a child, the placement process will begin. If you are working with a public agency you might be able to attend adoption events where you meet children waiting to be adopted. The agency might also send you pictures or videos of kids you might want to adopt. This will all depend on your preferences and the children who are available to adopt.  If you are pursuing a private adoption, your attorney will begin connecting you with potential birth parents. There’s no standard timeline that this process will follow. But it does typically take months, and oftentimes, years. In most countries, adoptions need to be finalized in court. In order to become the child’s legal parent you will need to file the appropriate documents with the...

You will need numbers less than zero and more than zero. Remember, on your negative number line zero will be in the middle. All the negative numbers will be to the left of zero and all the positive numbers will be to the right of zero. Find what number is first and which is second in the problem. For example, in (-8) - (-3), the first number is -8 and the second is -3. This is where you will start. If your problem was (-8) - (-3), you would put your finger on -8 on your number line. Subtracting a negative number is much like addition with regular numbers. If you started on -8, you should now be on -7. You will have moved one space. This will make sure you end on the answer of your problem. For example, if the second number in the problem is -3, you should have only moved 3 spaces on your number line. That number is the answer to your subtraction problem. For example, in the problem (-8) - (-3), you would have started with your finger on -8 and would have moved 3 spaces to the right, ending on -5. (-8) - (-3) = -5. This is to check your answer. If you don't get the same answer this time, try again to see where you made a mistake.

You will need several tools to shape your eyebrows correctly.  You will need sharp tweezers. One of the mistakes many people make when tweezing is they use old, dull tweezers. Replace your tweezers if yours are getting dull on the ends. Find a magnification mirror. This will help you see smaller, lighter hairs that are harder to spot using a conventional mirror. Get an eyebrow pencil. You will need this to reference and mark where your brows will begin and end, as well as where the highest point in your eyebrow arch goes. You will also need an eyebrow brush and trimming scissors.

TL;DR in Spanish:

You will need shelves and/or cabinets to store your crafting supplies. The amount of shelves and cabinets you put in the room depends on the amount of space you have. Choose a shelf or drawer depending on the type of supplies you will be using. Drawers are better if you need more depth, but shelves provide easier access to grab an item when you need it. Organize each shelf or drawer by item type. For example, put all sewing supplies in one drawer. In another drawer, put all of your ribbons and bows. Put a rack above the desk to hang items on for easy access. This will save space and will make certain items faster to find. You can hang a rack with hooks, or a rack that acts as a shelf. Racks are typically wooden or made of metal. They can be purchased at most home improvement stores. You can hang items like scissors and spools of thread on a rack. Use items like jars, small boxes, and dishes to hold small crafting supplies. Glass jars are best for pencils and pens. They can be kept on the desk. Small boxes are good for holding things like beads and pins. Use small plates to display small baubles and decorative items. Keep one type of item in each storage container. For example, keep all pens in a separate jar from all pencils. Hang a board somewhere in the room, like above the desk, to attach ideas and other items to. This can act as a “vision” board, or simply as a place to put reminders. A corkboard works best, but you can also use a board covered in fabric. Use thumbtacks or pins to attach sheets of paper or pictures to the board. A vision board is great for keeping papers, pictures, and fabric samples to aid with current and previous projects. Buy or create labels to label your organizational items. Labeling will make finding, returning, and keeping your crafting supplies organized easier. You can create the labels by using a label maker, or writing the labels out with a pen or marker. You can also create labels by attaching tape to small strips of paper.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Coloca algunos estantes. Cuelga una repisa. Agrega algunos artículos pequeños de almacenamiento. Coloca un tablero. Usa algunas etiquetas.


You will need something to hold the elastic while you tie the pieces of tulle to it. You can use anything cylindrical, as long as it is close to the same thickness as your you'd waist. You can also make your own dress form by taking a piece of poster board, rolling the ends together until they are the same size as your child's torso, and then taping the poster board so that it doesn't unroll. Make sure that the space between the two bands is the same as the space between your child's armpit and waist. Take a tape measure and measure from the waistband to the bottom of the skirt. Double the number that you get, and cut pieces of ribbon according to that number. Fold the ribbon in half, and slide the looped end under the waistband, right between two pieces of tulle. Bring the ends of the ribbon up and through the loop, just as you did when tying the tulle to the top elastic. Gently tug the ends of the ribbon back down. Add more ribbon every few inches until you have gone around the entire waist band. You can make the dress look angled or ragged depending on you you cut the tulle. For an angled dress, cut the tulle on the front shorter, and leave the back untouched. For a ragged dress, cut random pieces of tulle shorter.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consigue un maniquí o haz uno temporal. Coloca las bandas elásticas sobre el maniquí. Considera agregar una cinta a la falda. Considera cortar partes de la falda un poco más cortas.


You will need the lifting power of your legs to get you in the air and up to the basket. Building a regimen of leg workouts that will increase the fast-twitch strength and the flexibility of your leg muscles can help you add inches to your vertical leap, getting you that much closer to the rim. A good regimen to get started with might include:  50-100 calf raises  2 or 3 sets of squats and lunges  3-5 sets of 60 second wall sits earn about plyometrics. Plyometrics are exercises that use the resistance of your own body to build strength and are essential for building the kind of strength necessary to build your jump. It takes time to train your body to jump higher, but working the right muscle groups can improve your explosiveness and height without maxing out regularly in the weight room. Muscle groups that need to be stronger: Quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteals, calves. The quadriceps extend the knee, while the hamstrings and gluteals extend the hip. The calves flex the ankle, giving you that initial hop. Just building strength in your legs won't do it. The muscles also need to be loose and flexible, giving you the movement and response you'll need to dunk over the defense. Develop your flexibility by regularly stretching, doing elastic resistance exercises, and giving yoga a shot. Muscle groups that need flexibility: Hamstrings and hip flexors. Tight hamstrings will impede the knee extension during the jump. Hip flexors resist the hip extension part of the jump. Coaches make you run stairs for a reason. Running stairs will develop all the quadriceps, hips, and calves, helping to build all-around leg strength and flexibility. It's also cheap. You can run stairs at your house, at school after-hours, or even on the bleachers outside. Jump across the whole court and back. Try three laps or more, leaping as high as you can each time. Jump to touch the net with a running jump until you are able to do it ten times in a row. You probably won't be able to do this all in one day. Keep working at it. Keep jumping. Set...

You will need the same basic information for every single letter you write, regardless of the recipient. That means a job well done now creates a faster and less intensive process later on.  When you write your second letter, third letter, and so on, you will use the 5 paragraph essay structure for each and simply highlight different information to more accurately fit each recipient. Rewrite them until you can state them in one sentence. Now you have a clear, concise plan for your future as well as an important reason for applying for your scholarships. Make sure these are clear and specific. "I want to go to medical school and become a doctor" is fine, but it isn't as specific as "I want to attend Johns Hopkins and become an obstetrician serving rural areas." Identify what courses/fields of study in your past performance are directly related to your future academic/career goals. Now, take those that are the most relevant and in which you have had the most success and put them at the top. You will highlight these in your letter. Write down everything you have done that can outline the depth and breadth of your skills and potential. Include academic achievements you may have earned such as being valedictorian, school club president, or graduating with honors as well as non-academic activities such as work history, volunteer/community work, awards, sports honors/awards, and internships. Include anything that shows your strength and potential as a leader. Scholarship committees don’t want to hear about how much you need the money. They want to know that you know how to use it. So make a list that shows them you do. For instance:  Tuition Books Housing Supplies Fees

You will need this extra length for the hem. If your skirt has a lining, and you need to hem it as well, plan on having it 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) shorter than the finished skirt. Thread a needle, and tie a knot at the end of the thread. Use the needle to pull the thread through the hem. Catch 1 to 2 threads from the skirt material, then bring the needle back into the hem. Pull the needle ¼ inch (0.63 centimeters) through the hem, then use it to catch 1 to 2 threads from the skirt material again. Keep blind stitching until the hem is all sewn up. Knot the end of the thread, and snip the rest off.  Use a thread color that closely matches your fabric. This is great for those working with a heavier or thicker material.

You will need this to distribute a Subversion project. mkdir svnroot  Type: svnadmin create /Users/[your username]/svnroot     That creates your server!    se the svn server with Terminal. You can checkout in the terminal with this command: svn checkout file:///Users/[your username]/svnroot For remote access, enable "ssh access" (in System Preferences/Sharing) and checkout with: svn checkout svn+ssh://my.domain.com/Users/[your username]/svnroot    For example, svnX supports all current versions of Mac OS X from 10.5 to 10.8. You can get it at http://code.google.com. Under Repositories, add the URL und Login Data from the SVN Server.  Open the window; if you get an error, check the LogIn.     Switch to the Terminal and type: svn import -m "your Import message" /my/local/project/path /my/remote/svn/repository This command adds all files from the local Project to the SVN Server.     Add the path of your SVN repository (from the SVN server) to the list in the Working Copy window in SVNx.    When you're working on this Project, you will see your modifications here. Make a small modification on your working copy, then refresh the the Working Copy window. SVNx displays all files with modifications. Press the Commit button to add it to the SVN Server Repository.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Configura un servidor de SVN. Abre la Terminal, luego crea un directorio llamado svnroot en el directorio de tu cuenta de la siguiente manera: Utiliza el servidor de SVN con la Terminal. Configura un cliente de Subversion. Después de descargar svnX, ábrelo y verás dos ventanas llamadas "Working copies" (copias de trabajo) y "Repositories" (repositorios). Abre tu copia de trabajo en svnX. Haz una prueba. Si prefieres trabajar en el repositorio de Subversion directamente desde Finder, considera la posibilidad de usar SCPlugin o códigos de comandos de SVN en Finder.


You will need three different shades: a medium shade for the lid, a dark shade for the crease, and a light shade for the base and highlight. Try to choose colors from the same color family, such as all blues or all browns. Also, keep in mind that different colors may enhance different eye colors. Here are some suggestions:  For the best blending, eye shadow should have four different shades: The lightest (a shade close to white) on the inner corner and just under your browbone, the second lightest over the lid, next darkest on the crease, and darkest on the outer corner blended in. If you have blue eyes, you can wear similar shades, such as dark blue, grey, and silver. You can also wear contrasting shades, such as bronze, brown, copper, and taupe. If you have brown eyes... you can wear similar shades, such as bronze, brown, and taupe. You can also wear contrasting shades, such as blue, green, grey, and purple. If you have green eyes, you can wear similar shades, such as green, and forest green. You can also wear contrasting shades, such as gold, pink, taupe, and purple. If you have grey eyes you can wear similar shades, such as blue, charcoal, and silver. You can also wear contrasting shades, such as brown, gold, green, and purple. If you have hazel eyes, you can use greens and golds to bring out the greens and golds in your own eyes. You can also use contrasting colors, such as plum, reddish-brown, and wine. Unless you have very thick eyebrows, you might want to fill them in. You can use eyebrow pencil or eye shadow. Follow the natural curve of you eyebrow, making the color softer and lighter the closer it gets to your nose. In general, you want to use a color that is two to three shades lighter than your hair color, unless you have blonde hair. Then, go 2-3 shades darker. Here are some more tips:  If you have blond or light colored hair, use a light brown or medium brown. For brown hair or medium-colored hair, use a medium or dark brown. If you have black hair, use a very dark brown. Never use black, as it...

You will need three ~16” square pillowcases. These should be made of heavy upholstery fabric, in the same or matching prints or colors, and include a zipper opening. One pillowcase will form the outside of the bag, one will form the inner lining, and the other will form the strap. Cut one of the pillowcases to form the straps by cutting the edge with the zipper, as well as the edge on the opposite side. Now cut the remainder to form six 5” by 15” strips. From four of the six pieces, stitch their ends together so they form one long 5” wide strip. With right (patterned) sides facing each other, stitch the long sides together to form a tube. Use your preferred method to turn the tube right side out. Stitch a rectangle over the seams where you joined the pieces. Flip in the ends about 3” on each side and then edge stitch all along the entire strap. Pin the ends of the straps to the pillowcase you are using as the main section of the bag such that the zipper is open and at the top and the side seams align with the center of strap. The straps should be placed far enough down so that the folded in 3” section is entirely on the bag. Iron flat and then edge stitch a rectangle at the end of the strap to join it to the bag (this rectangle should follow the 3” folded section). Make an “x” across the rectangle to reinforce. Do this for both sides. Fold in and iron the edges of one of the remaining strap pieces, so that the edge looks clean when viewing the facing side. Pin it to the facing side of the lining pillowcase, in the upper half section towards the zipper. Sew along the bottom edge and sides with one seam in the middle to form two pockets. Trim off the zipper and iron the edges down, so that the edge is clean. Flip the pillowcase inside out and place it inside the main bag. Pin together and then sew, one side and then the other, remembering to backstitch at each of the four ends. You’re done!

TL;DR in Spanish:

You will need to at least have some headshots taken. Look for photographers in your area that have done photo shoots with models in the past. Remember that having photos taken can be expensive, so make sure you have enough money set aside for a photo shoot. If you are on a budget, you may find a photography school with students willing to take pictures for free to build their portfolios. Browse the website of photographers in your area. It is important that you see their work before hiring them to take photos. If you see inspiring pictures in a magazine or catalog, find out who the photographer is and try get in touch. He or she might be interested in taking your picture, especially if he has new creative ideas for which he needs a model. This may be limited only to photographers in your area, however. Famous photographers will probably not have the time or incentive to respond. Send a polite email or social media message. Do not harass the photographer with repeated messages if he or she does not respond. A comp card, or composite card, is a marketing took used by models for self-promotion. This is akin to a business card that you can send to agencies interested in petite models. A comp card allows industry professionals to judge you based off of more than just a headshot. This is what your agent would send in to submit you for print work.  It should have a headshot on the front, three to five photos on the back, and your measurements. A good size for a comp card is 6”x 9”.  For a comp card, you should have photos showing you from every angle. Have one photo showing you facing the camera directly, and a few photos taken of you from various angles. It is also a good idea to include one or two candid photos. Examples of comp cards can be found in a quick online search. If you are a parts model, or a model that only shoots specific types of photos, then you will not need a typical comp card. Include photos of body parts if you are a parts model. Include photos of you in swimsuit or lingerie if you plan to be a...

Busca un fotógrafo. Ponte en contacto con fotógrafos de los que admires su trabajo. Haz una "comp card" (tarjeta de presentación especial para modelos). Prepara un portfolio con tus mejores fotos.


You will need to buy flowers right before you plan on making a wreath. If you buy flowers too long before making a wreath, there is a chance they will wither and die. You can buy flowers from your local supermarket or florist. Some flowers you can choose from are roses, poppies, carnations, chrysanthemums, lilies, and orchids. You can combine several flowers to make a more visually interesting wreath. Choose flowers with colors that complement each other. For example, yellow tulips pair well with verbena or lavender. You can also choose flowers of different sizes and shapes, like bundles of baby’s-breath with roses. You can buy floral wire at a craft store, like Michaels or Hobby Lobby. The wire will hold more flowers the thicker it is. A 18-gauge is the minimum you should buy. It will support heavy buds, like roses. 22-26-Gauge is an all purpose wire that will support whatever type of flowers you are using.  Thinner wire is more malleable and a better choice for an intricate setting. You can choose between green stub, paper covered, and enameled wire. Double a length of floral wire. Wrap the ends around what you want to be the top of your wreath form, twining the ends back around the wire to secure it. It should create a circular shape. Twine the ends to form a loop. You'll use the loop at the top for hanging the wreath.  Size your wreath to take up about half the width of the door or wall you intend to hang it on. Make sure the hanging loop sticks up from the back of the wreath where it'll be less visible, instead of the front. Create small bundles of flowers by wrapping the stems with flexible wire attached to a floral pick (a small wooden stake). You can also bundle flower stems together with floral wire. The upper limit for your bundle size is the width of the wreath form. How small you make your bundles, and how you shape them, depends to a large degree on your wreath size and the textures and size of your materials. Group together several types of flowers in a bundle to create variety in the wreath....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra flores frescas. Consigue alambre floral. Haz la base de la corona. Haz manojos de flores. Coloca los manojos alrededor de la corona. Sujeta los manojos. Agrega más adornos.


You will need to buy snap-in button casing. You can find this online or at your local craft store. It comes in a variety of sizes and you can get as many as you need (from 20-200 or more!). Print and cut out the image that you want on your button. Make sure the image you have is the right size for the button casing and then print it out on regular paper. Cut out the images as perfectly as you can. Put the printed and cut-out image into the bowl half of the casing. Face the image toward the bottom of the bowl. Snap in the back of the casing and that’s it! It's just that easy! Simply pull the button apart in order to reset the image or add a new one.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra una base de plástico. Prepara tu imagen. Inserta la imagen. Pon la parte de atrás. Reutiliza lo que sea necesario.


You will need to choose a method for disposing of the remains of your guinea pig once he has died. You can deal with your pet's remains however you wish, so long as it is sanitary and the remains are kept away from children and other pets.  It may help the grieving process to incorporate your guinea pig's body disposal into a memorial or burial ritual. Be sure your treatment of your guinea pig's remains does not violate any laws or health/safety regulations. For example, don't dig a grave on someone else's property or set a fire where prohibited. If your guinea pig had a companion (such as a rabbit or another guinea pig), you should allow his body to be viewed by the surviving pet(s). Many animals are able to recognize when another animal is dead, and this sometimes seems to help them cope with the situation.  If you take your dying guinea pig out of his cage and never return him, your other pet may become anxious or mournful as a result of having been "abandoned" by his companion. It is not necessary to leave the deceased guinea pig's corpse alone with the remaining animal; simply showing him the body of his companion and letting him sniff around for a moment should suffice. This can take on many forms; a pet memorial of some kind serves to acknowledge your pet's death while celebrating his life. These rituals can be isolated events or can be something you do every now and then to pay tribute to your guinea pig. Whatever you choose to do, it should be something that brings you some peace of mind. Some suggestions include:  Hold a pet burial. Share funny stories about your pet with friends and family. Look through old photos of your guinea pig. Plant a flower or tree in tribute. It is entirely healthy to grieve the loss of a beloved pet. You will handle the loss of your guinea pig much more easily if you let yourself experience the natural feelings that accompany the loss of a loved one. This process is really no different from coping with the loss of a human relative or friend.  Seek support from friends,...

You will need to collect at least two colors of craft foam (one that has adhesive on it and one that doesn't), scissors, and a split ring or key chain assembly. You do not need a ton of craft foam! Even pieces only a few inches long and a few inches wide will work just fine. In fact, this project is a good one to use up scraps from other projects. Be gentle with the foam, as you don't want to tear your project at the very end. Now you have a great personalized keychain that is ready to use.

You will need to collect the following types of documents in some countries:  A copy of your detailed business plan. Three years of tax returns (both personal and business) Supplier Agreements (for gas and convenience store items) Business Interim Financial Statements Inventory Schedule AR/AP Schedules Franchise Agreements Budget for operating and start-up costs The market is becoming very competitive and costs are going up.  This is why having a fully researched business plan is essential. Your location will have to be ideal for being a successful gas station. Your budget will need to be a realistic and detailed explanation of funds needed. You may have to visit several banks and financial companies before your plan is accepted. Understand that you may have to modify your business plan according to investor suggestions. These are often the easiest to obtain.   Gas stations come with a lot of environmental and other real-estate valuation concerns. Often times, SBA loans can cover costs of environmental issues or re-appraisals. Other banks can provide similar loans, but lenders suggest it is often easier to obtain financing for purchasing an existing gas station rather than building a new one. If you cannot get enough start up funds from a loan from the better business bureau, you can try for a more traditional business loan.  Make an appointment with a loan officer from a bank. Show him/her your business plan for your gas station. Fill out any forms and bring any documentation with you such as tax returns, identification, legal contracts etc. Apply at several banks. Your credit history, tax information, and viability of your business plan will all be factors in getting your loan. Different banks may offer you different interest rates on your loan with more or less flexibility for repayment. Carefully weigh the pros and cons of each offer you get and decide accordingly.

You will need to connect to the MySQL server before you can create your database. You can do this through the MySQL command line interface, or by using PHP, which is what will be covered here. Creating a connection uses the mysqli_connect(host, username, password) function.  <?php $connection=mysqli_connect("example.com","admin","password1"); /* This creates a connection to the MySQL server on example.com with the username “admin” and the password “password1”. */ if (mysqli_connect_errno())   {   echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();   } //This returns a message if the connection does not work. ?>    The connection to the database is assigned to the variable “$connection”. This will allow you to easily refer to the connection later in the script. To see how to create a database using the MySQL command line, check out this article. Once you've opened the connection, you can add in code to create the database. The database will not contain any data yet; the first table in the database will be added in the next step. You will be using the CREATE DATABASE statement to create the database.  <?php $connection=mysqli_connect("example.com","admin","password1"); if (mysqli_connect_errno())   {   echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();   } $sql="CREATE DATABASE database1"; if (mysqli_query($connection,$sql))   {   echo "Database database1 created successfully";   } else   {   echo "Error creating database: " . mysqli_error($connection);   } ?> Once the database has been created, you can create a table to store data that you retrieve from forms. The table can be configured in any way you'd like to fit your data. The table created in this step will have three columns: FirstName, LastName, and Age. The table will be called “Users”  <?php $connection=mysqli_connect("example.com","admin","password1", “database1”); if (mysqli_connect_errno())   {   echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();   } $sql = "CREATE TABLE Users  ( PID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, ...

You will need to create the water droplets with clear nail polish. Any type of clear coat nail polish will do. The ideal polish to use, however, is a clear, quick-dry topcoat because it hardens quickly and is glossy. It is possible to use a color for the water droplets, but they won’t appear as water. Instead, they would look like 3D polka dots. You don’t have to use a special tool to create the water droplets. Nail salons use dotting tools, which can be bought online or at a beauty supply store. You can also  make  a dotting tool out of everyday items, like a pin, toothpick, or bobby pin. The easiest method is to use the applicator brush that comes with your clear nail polish.

TL;DR in Spanish:

You will need to do either one of these things in order to be accepted to a four-year institution. Take the SATs, the required standardized test for colleges, your junior year and apply to various colleges and universities to keep your options open. You will need to have completed at least three years of undergraduate education in order to apply to a doctor of chiropractic program. You should have at least 90 semester hours in both liberal arts and science courses like physics, chemistry, and biology. You don't necessarily have to complete your bachelor's degree to be accepted to chiropractic school, though having a bachelor's degree will increase your job prospects in the future. These programs typically take four years to complete. During the first two years, you will study physiology, anatomy, biology, and other subjects in a classroom setting. In the following two years, you will get supervised clinical training in spinal manipulation and diagnosis. Consider completing a residency program after graduating in order to gain specialty in a particular area, like pediatrics. All states require that chiropractors be licensed, and specific requirements vary between states. In addition to completing the Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) program, you will also need to pass a series of examinations, which may include both national and local exams. Check with your state, or the state you would like to practice in, for specific requirements. If you move to a new state, you will need to become re-certified in that state. Most chiropractors work full-time in their own practice or in group practices, while others work in hospitals or physicians' offices. The job requires being on your feet for long periods of time while treating patients, so be sure that you are in shape physically.  The number of chiropractic jobs is expected to increase by 28% from 2010 to 2020, which is faster than the average growth rate for jobs.  If you decide to start your own practice, you will need to invest time in marketing your clinic, determining...

You will need to do this no matter what type of connection you plan to use. You should have software included with the Ethernet or wireless hardware. You will need to designate which computer will be the server and which ones will be the clients.  Your profile will allow you to connect and use the home network. Run the network software configuration program and follow the prompts to create the profile. If you are using an access point, set it to infrastructure.  Enter the name of your network. If using an ad hoc network, all adapters must use the same channel on the network. Set the channel from 1 to 11. When using an infrastructure network, the client computer automatically configures by itself and selects the channel with the best signal. To finish this installation, enter the encryption key, according to vendor instruction. This is an easier way to set up a network. Plug the adapter end into your computer's USB port and put the other end into an electrical outlet.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Instala el software de red. Sigue las instrucciones para configurar el equipo. Reinicia las computadoras después de instalar el software.

Compra un router de alta velocidad para tu solución Ethernet cableada o inalámbrica.


You will need to enforce some strong rules with your puppy and you must be consistent all the time when disciplining it. For example, if your dog likes to jump up on you, just push it off, say NO, and walk away. In time, your dog will get the message and won't continue to jump on people.   Under no circumstances strike a dog. Doing so will make it resentful of you and may escalate into aggressive (defensive) behavior on your dog’s part .  There are any number of bad habits a dog may acquire over a lifetime. These include digging in the yard, barking excessively, begging at the table, counter surfing for food, or destroying things.  Do your best to break it of these habits as soon as they crop up. Dogs need to learn the family rules, just like any other family member. Unfortunately, human and dog communication can be a difficult thing to understand. Positive reinforcement of good behavior usually works better than trying to dissuade a pup from doing bad things.  Many times giving the dog an alternative (such as a special digging spot, a toy or a treat in place of whatever he is chewing on) activity will curb a bad habit. The key is consistency and patience as the dog learns the new, healthier “habit.” You can show your puppy or dog that you’re in charge without being a bully, mean or cruel. This isn’t done by hitting or screaming at your dog. This is by demonstrating calm, assertive behavior, which is different from aggressive behavior.  If you don’t assert your authority the pup will see the position of leader as unfilled and it will try to take charge by instinct. How do you make sure you're in charge?  Act like a confident person; even if you aren’t, it will come with practice. Give off the energy that you are confident; stand tall; take deep, regular breaths; talk in a calm, yet sincere manner. Your puppy or dog will intuitive sense that calm and confident manner and want to please you, its pack leader, and it will follow your lead. That way, it will learn that the only way it gets what it needs is by...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Establece reglas básicas. Comunícate con tu perro de forma que te entienda. Afirma tu autoridad. Asegúrate de que el perro esté calmado y sumiso antes de darle algo.


You will need to explain the circumstances of the injury and discuss possible disease exposures. Your blood may be tested to determine whether further treatment is needed.  In the case of known exposure to other pathogens, immediate treatment will be administered. This could involve antibiotics or a vaccination.  You might need a tetanus shot, depending on your prior history. Measures should be immediately taken to prevent sero-conversion from occurring. Scientists have proven that sero-conversion due to needle stick injuries for HIV is about 0.03 percent. This percentage is extremely low, so there is no need to panic.  The HIV status of the worker affected and the person whose blood was transferred will be checked. Hospitals and other medical facilities have rapid tests available to give a confirmed HIV status. If exposure is likely, prophylactic medication (known as post exposure prophylaxis, or PEP) should be administered, preferably within an hour. Anti-retroviral drugs can reduce the rate of transmission if given soon after possible infection. All clinics and hospitals have a protocol in place for prompt action when responding to needle stick injuries. The risk for hepatitis transference is much higher that that for HIV (about 30% for Hepatitis B and about 10% for Hepatitis C), so swift action is essential, as well as preventative measures (i.e., being vaccinated against Hepatitis).

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca atención médica inmediatamente. Determina si estuviste expuesto(a) al VIH. Determina si estuviste expuesto(a) a otras enfermedades.


You will need to fill out an application form, pay a fee, and provide documents that prove your citizenship. You will also need a passport photo, which has to meet certain size and style requirements. It’s best to have your photo taken by a photographer or service that specializes in passport photos to ensure that it meets the requirements.  Check your country’s official travel website to find out how long it will take to receive your passport. In the US, you should receive your passport within 4-6 weeks of applying, and you will have to pay a fee of $135. In some cases, you may be able to expedite your application for a fee and receive your passport sooner. When you enter Bali, you will be required to present a passport that is valid for at least the next 6 months. If you plan on staying longer than 6 months, make sure your passport won’t expire before you return. Bali offers free entry with no visa for 30 days to citizens of 140 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. You can check the full list of included countries here: https://www.bali.com/visa-indonesia-entry-requirements-bali.html. This can be an ideal option if you plan on staying for 30 days or less, and there’s no need to apply before arriving. 30 days includes the day of your arrival in Bali and the day of your departure. It also does not mean a full month, so make sure to plan the length of your stay for exactly 30 days or less. The fee for overstaying in Bali is 1,000,000 rupiah per day, or $74 USD ($63 EU). Unlike the free 30-day visits, these visas can be extended once for another 30 days. The VOA application process will happen upon your arrival in Bali, and should cost $35. However, VOAs are only available to citizens of certain countries, so make sure you qualify first. A full list of the qualifying countries can be found here: https://www.bali.com/visa-indonesia-entry-requirements-bali.html. This visa lasts for 3 months. It can be extended for up to 6 months, but you will have to apply for a renewal every...

You will need to finance your company according to your business plan, using a combination of equity and debt financing. Initial startup costs will be used for meeting reserve requirements and the building or rental of office spaces. From there, much of the company's operating capital will be lent out to customers.   Be aware of Federal and State laws regulating the private solicitation of investors. Adherence to securities laws regarding the information provided to potential investors and the qualifications of the investor will apply in most circumstances. Sources of debt financing include loans from the government and commercial lending institutions. Money borrowed with debt financing must be paid back over a period of time, usually with interest.  The Small Business Administration (SBA) partners with banks to offer government loans to business owners. However, these loans can only be used for the purchase of equipment, not lent out to others. The SBA helps lending institutions make long-term loans by guaranteeing a portion of the loan should the business default. Finance companies face the problem of having to raise large amounts of initial funding to be successful. They also often have to deal with a slew of other challenges before they become profitable. Without accounting properly for issues like fraud, it's very easy for a finance company to go out of business. A finance company should make a positive impression on customers.  Customers looking for a loan will want to do business in a place that projects a trustworthy and sound image. Take into account the reputation of the neighborhood or of a particular building and how it will appear to customers. Also consider how customers will reach you and the proximity of your competitors. If your target customers are small local businesses, for example, they may not want to drive to a remote location or deal with heavy city traffic to meet with you.  If you are not sure, contact your local planning agency to find out if your desired location is zoned for...

You will need to get a car seat before your baby is born, as one will be necessary to take your new baby home. Be sure to always use a car seat which is appropriate for the age and weight of your child. Rear-facing car seats are the safest and should be used until your child is at least 1 year old. You will want a method to carry your baby while you are shopping or out walking around. You can get a stroller and push them or, if you want to save space, carry your baby in a carrying wrap. These are perfectly comfortable for both of you and will also help you bond. Newborns have very weak immune systems and should be exposed to as little illness as possible. Do not take them to very crowded or dirty places, avoid other children’s birthday parties, and encourage others to touch the baby only on their feet (rather than the face or hands) to keep illness from spreading.

You will need to have a good strong rope to play tug of war. The rope should be free of knots, fraying, or any flaws that might allow extra holding or rubbing. You may want to select a nylon rope to reduce rope-burn incidents. Make sure that the rope is long enough to accommodate all of your players as well. All of the players should have room to grip the rope and stand beside it. You will need to place a marker in the center of the rope so that players will be able to find the center. Find the center of the rope and mark it with one color flag or marker. Make sure the rope is straight when you measure it to find the center. You may also want to place markers on both sides of the central marker to indicate where players should start holding the rope. Place these markers about three feet away from the center point on both sides of the rope. Resin is an optional way to enhance your grip on the rope. Use resin or chalk from a sporting goods store or department store. Take out a palm full of the substance and clap or rub it between your palms. Work the substance around and between your fingers as well. This isn’t common in casual tug of war games, but can help you hold onto the rope for more organized games. It can be fun to play tug of war on a slippery, muddy terrain, but this may also make it harder to win based on strength. If you want to play a fair game of tug of war, then choose a level, dry playing ground, such as a dry field or the floor of a gymnasium.

You will need to have an Ethernet cable to connect your Xbox One to your Internet source. Consider the length of your cable and the distance of your console from your Internet source: you don't want to get one that is too short! Your Xbox may come with a cable included, but otherwise you will need to purchase one. Currently, Xbox Ones do not ship with a cable. At the back of the Xbox One, at the lower right corner beside the infrared output, you will find your console’s LAN port. This is where you’re going to connect your Ethernet cable. The other end of the Ethernet cable goes directly to your internet source. Remember, your Internet source could be your router or your modem itself. It may also be an Ethernet wall jack. After setting up your wired connection, you can now turn on your Xbox One. The initial boot should already give you access to the Internet. You can turn on your console by pressing the Home button on your Xbox One controller. Xbox One added a voice recognition feature that wakes your console by just saying “Xbox On”. The Xbox One Kinect can also identify you through biometric scanning by which it automatically logs in a user via face recognition.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consigue un cable ethernet. Conecta el cable ethernet al puerto LAN. Conecta el cable ethernet a la fuente de internet. Enciende la consola.


You will need to have both dogs on leashes and kept several feet away from each other, so it is necessary to have two people on hand to make the introduction. Do not try to introduce your dogs in your house or in your back yard. These spaces are your existing dog’s territory and he is more likely to act aggressively when he is in them. Choose a neutral space like a friend’s backyard or a nearby dog park. You may want to stand with your existing dog, since he may feel more threatened if you are standing with the puppy. Make sure that your friend keeps the puppy on its leash and stands about 10 feet away from you. Watch both dogs to see what they do when they are introduced. If you notice that the dogs look relaxed and happy, then you should be able to bring them closer. If one or both dogs is displaying signs of aggression (baring teeth, growling, tense posture), then you should move them further apart. If the dogs become aggressive, stop the introduction by moving them away from each other and distracting the dogs with a treat. Speak calmly to the dogs and try to calm them down. Do not allow the dogs to get closer to each other if they are acting aggressively.  If the first attempt resulted in aggressive behavior from one or both dogs, increase the distance between the dogs and try to introduce the dogs again. Once the dogs have had a positive reaction to each other and had a chance to play a bit, you should be able to take them home.

You will need to house your baby bird in some kind of small container. A small box or bowl will suffice. Be sure to line the nest with a soft material like toilet paper to make it more comfortable.  Make sure there is enough bedding in the nest that the bird can prop himself up to defecate over the edge of the container. Keep the nest in a dark, quiet place. Too much light can damage the baby bird's eyes, and too much noise can scare it. If you are caring for a nestling, it is extremely important to make sure that it stays warm. You can do this by placing a heating pad under the bird's container and then covering it with a towel to keep the heat in.  Keep the heating pad on low to avoid burning the bird. It is a good idea to leave at least a small portion of the container off of the heating pad so the bird can escape if it gets too hot. If you don't have a heating pad, you can fill an old sock with rice and microwave it until it is warm to the touch, but not hot. If you have a heating lamp, you can use this, with a 40 watt bulb placed at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the bird, as a heater. If you place the bird's nest inside an aquarium, you will simulate an incubator. Once you have made sure that the baby bird is safe and warm, contact a wildlife rehabilitator to finish raising it. A trained professional will be much better prepared to care for this baby bird than you will.  It is important to understand just how labor-intensive it is to raise a baby bird when deciding whether or not to contact a wildlife rehabilitator. They need to be fed approximately every 30 minutes, so it is a very big commitment. If you can't locate a wildlife rehabilitator by searching online, you can try contacting your local game warden or conservation department. You can also try calling vets in your area. Even if they are not able to take the baby birds, they may be able to refer you to a local wildlife rehabilitator. The decision to provide food or water for your baby bird will depend on how long you must care for it before you...

You will need to know the amps and the volts in the power source. To determine the wattage, use a simple multiplication formula. The ampere (or amps) is the amount of electricity used. Voltage measures the force or pressure of the electricity.  The number of watts is equal to amps multiplied by volts. That's it! In other words, watt=amp X volt. Sometimes you will see this formula written as W=A X V.   For example, if the current is 3 amps (3A) and the voltage is 110V, you multiply 3 by 110, to get 330W (watts). The formula is P=3A X 110V = 330 W (with P standing for power). This is why watts are sometimes called volt-amps. Circuit breakers usually have the amps written on their handles. This is the maximum amperage that circuit can take before the circuit breaker trips. You can also determine both volts and amps by looking on the labels or in the operating manuals. You can  look up common figures for standard appliances (most small appliances and lighting fixtures in homes require circuits that range from 15-20 amps and larger ones are 20 to 60. However, most counter top household appliances are rated for 120 volts and operated with 12 or less amps.  Larger appliances like ranges and clothes dryers require more power and are connected to circuits that are wired to 240 volt power and may draw 20 to 40 amps depending on a number of factors.   Household wiring is usually 120 or 240 volts in North America. You can do the multiplication formula in reverse. For example, let’s say you have an AC 24-40 power supply. This means your power supply has 24 volts and 40 watts.  The power source can supply 1.6 amps. The formula used is 40-? X 24. Thus, you would divide 40 by 24 to get 1.6.  Here’s another reason you might need to do this. Let’s say you want to figure out the watts used by a ceiling fan, and the label on the fan says that the fan uses a certain number of amps. You could then find out the typical number of volts used by a ceiling fan (by calling the manufacturer or just looking online), multiply the two...

You will need to lay down several layers of padding in order to be comfortable enough to sleep on the tub’s hard surface.  Find as many comforters, blankets and pillows as you can. A sleeping bag as the top layer is also a great option. With a little effort you can make yourself cozy.  Fold several blankets or comforters and place them along the bottom of the bathtub. This will create a mattress for you to sleep on. Make sure your padding reaches up the sides of the tub as well if possible to cushion all parts of your body that will be in contact with the tub’s surface. Place a pillow at the end of the tub where you will have your head.  You may want to use one pillow under your head for proper support and spine alignment and place one standing up between the top of your head and the end of the tub so you don’t bump your head in your sleep. Save a blanket or two for putting over the top of you.  Since you don’t know whether the bathroom will be warmer or colder than you are accustomed to during the night, have several layers handy just in case.  A sleeping bag can do double duty as a pad underneath you and a cover on top of you.

You will need to multiply your height in meters by itself first. For example, if you are 1.75 meters tall, then you would multiply 1.75 by 1.75 and get a result of approximately 3.06. Next, you will need to divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. For example, if your weight is 75 kilograms and your height in meters squared is 3.06, then you would divide 75 by 3.06 for an answer of 24.5 as your BMI. The full equation is kg/m2 in which kg is equal to your weight in kilograms and m is equal to your height in meters. You can still calculate your BMI if your height is in centimeters, but you will need to use a slightly different equation to do so. This equation is your weight in kilograms divided by your height in centimeters, then divided again by your height in centimeters, and then multiplied by 10,000.  For example, if your weight in kilograms is 60 and your height in centimeters is 152, then you would divide 60 by 152, by 152 (60 / 152 / 152) for an answer of 0.002596. Multiply this number by 10,000 and you get 25.96 or about 26. The approximate BMI for this person would be 26. Another option is to simply change your height in centimeters to meters by moving the decimal two places to the left. For example, 152 centimeters equals 1.52 meters. Then, find your BMI by squaring your height in meters and then dividing your weight by your height in meters squared. For example, 1.52 multiplied by 1.52 equals 2.31. If you weigh 80 kilograms, then you would divide 80 by 2.31 and your result would be a BMI of 34.6.

You will need to note how big the watch is.  If the watch is very loose, you will have to remove lots of links. If the watch is just slightly loose and you aren't in danger of it falling off, you might consider leaving it as is unless it is bothersome. If your watch is too small, you will have to buy extra links from the manufacturer to make the band larger. There are several things you will need to adjust your watch band.  You will need one or two push pins. You will use these to push the pins that hold the links together out of their holes. Get a pair of needle nosed pliers to help you remove the pins. You will need a small jewelry hammer. Make sure you are working on a flat surface with good lighting. You will need to collect any pins you remove from the band.

You will need to order a replacement screen and digitizer for your iPod. Replacement screens can be ordered online for about $100 USD. Make sure to order the display for the iPod Touch Gen 5, or the display will not work. To remove the front panel of your iPod, you will need a small, strong suction cup. Place the suction cup on front of the iPod, towards the bottom. The bottom edge of the suction cup should be covering the upper half of the Home button. Press the suction cup firmly to create a good seal.   Hold the iPod firmly on a table or workbench with one hand, gripping the edges. With your other hand lift the suction cup. Pull firmly, as you will need to break the adhesive in order to lift it out. Only remove the front panel about an inch or so. Once one end of the panel has been lifted, you can start working on removing the small plastic frame that sits between the front panel and the metal backing. There are several clips running along each side of the iPod. Insert your opening tool to release these clips, which will eventually release the frame.  Once the frame is released, flip the front panel up so that the insides are completely exposed. Take care not to separate the halves at the top as they are still connected with cables. Lay both halves end to end on your work space. The inside of the iPod is protected by a large metal plate. You will need to remove 11 screws in order to take the metal panel off. Once the screws have been removed, lift the plate out of the iPod. In order to get at the cables in the iPod, you will need to remove the battery. First, remove the three screws at the top that secure the logic board to the iPod case.   Insert the iPod opener tool into the notches around the battery. Gently pry the battery up using these notches. The battery is secured with a lot of adhesive, so you will need to proceed slowly and use all of the notches. Once the battery has been freed from the adhesive, flip it to the side of the case. Proceed slowly, as the cable is soldered to the logic board. Use...

You will need to order a replacement screen and digitizer for your iPod. Replacement screens can be ordered online for about $25 USD. Make sure to order the display for the iPod Touch Gen 3, or the display will not work. You will need an iPod opening tool or a thin flat-head screwdriver in order to separate the case of your iPod touch. A screwdriver is more likely to leave scratches than an iPod opening tool.   Insert your tool into the seam between the glass and plastic near the volume buttons. Rotate the tool to pry the glass away from the casing. Continue doing this around the edge of the iPod. Do not run the tool down the seam. Instead insert, pry, and remove it to insert it in another location. Detach the clips around the inside of the casing that hold the glass panel in place. Lift the panel away from the rest of the iPod, lifting from the bottom. The panel will still be attached by a cable at the top. This is located at the top of the iPod, and is very fragile. You will need to gently pry the connector off of the logic board with your opening tool. Insert the opening tool between the white backlight assembly and the metal panel beneath it. Insert the tool at the bottom end of the display, in the middle. Gently pry it up, taking care not to bend the screen as you do so. Rotate the display up, leaving the top near the iPod.  You will need to continue holding this up while you work underneath it. underneath the display you will see a metal tray with seven Phillips screws in it. You will need to remove all seven to continue.  Lay the display back down and remove another Phillips screw at the top edge of the iPod. Once all the screws have been removed, lift the display up once more, and then lift the newly-freed metal tray up. Rotate them both towards the top of the iPod.   Peel the copper tape off of the top edge of the display. Leave it attached to the metal tray. Peel the tape that covers the display cable. It is revealed when you lift the metal tray up. Pry the display cable out of its socket. This is...

You will need to order a replacement screen for your iPod. Replacement screens can be ordered online for about $20 USD. Make sure to order the display for the 5th Generation iPod with Video, or the display will not work. Make sure that the iPod is turned off and locked with the Hold switch toggled on before opening your iPod. This will ensure that you don't accidentally turn it on while working on it. Use an iPod opening tool or a flathead screwdriver to gently by the front casing from the back. You will need to disengage the tabs around the edge of the iPod.  Don't completely separate the two halves when you disengage all of the tabs. There are ribbons connecting the two halves that could get damaged if you pull it apart. You will see a small, brown latch holding a ribbon cable in place in one of the corners. Use tweezers to lift the latch so that you can slide the ribbon cable out.  Don't pull the latch too hard, or you may accidentally separate the logic board, which will render your iPod essentially unusable. At this point you should have one cable connecting the two halves of your iPod. This cable connects the headphone jack to your logic board. Lift the hard drive up to reveal the brown connector. Use your fingernail or opening tool to lift the latch on the connector and release the cable. Pull the cable out with your fingers and your iPod halves will now be completely separated. Lift the hard drive up from the top of the iPod, and remove the ribbon cable that attaches it to the circuitry. You may need to use your opening tool to release the hinge on the motherboard connector cable. releasing it from the hard drive. On the each side of the iPod, you should see several small screws. Remove these with a Phillips screwdriver and set the screws somewhere you won't lose them.   Once the screws are removed, work the metal framework free. There will be a little resistance, as the framework is usually lightly glued to keep it in place. The framework houses the logic board, front display, and click wheel. Lift...

You will need to pin together the edges of the interior and exterior cloak pieces so that the right sides (print or outer sides) of the fabric are facing each other. Line up any notches that you cut in the fabric and make sure that the edges of the pieces are even all the way around.  Make sure that the right sides of the fabric pieces are facing each other when you pin them. This is so the seams will be hidden inside of the cloak. The hood pieces will likely have a few notches in them, so make sure to line these up carefully. Since a cloak is such a large garment, you may have to sew a few smaller pieces together, and you will also have to sew together 4 or more pieces to create the hood. Check your pattern’s instructions to be sure, and sew pieces together as instructed.  The hood will likely be the most complicated part of the sewing pattern. Make sure to line up any notches and sew the hood parts together exactly as your pattern instructs you to. For example, you will sew 2 hood lining pieces together with the edges aligned and the right sides facing each other. Then, repeat this for the exterior fabric, and then sew together the edges of the exterior and lining hood pieces. Sew a straight stitch 0.5 in (1.3 cm) from the raw edges of the pinned areas of your cloak and lining fabric. This will be the seam allowance for your cloak and it will make the seam more secure. The opening will allow you to invert the cloak so that the seams will be hidden. Make sure to remove the pins as you sew. Do not sew over them or you may damage your sewing machine. After you have finished sewing the cloak lining and exterior fabric together, pull the fabric through the opening to invert it. The right sides of the lining and exterior should now be visible. Press your fingers into the corners of the cloak to ensure that the edges of the cloak are well defined. If desired, you may iron over the seams once the cloak has been inverted. This will also help to make the edges look slightly more defined. Find the open area, and fold...

You will need to produce realistic scenarios for each risk in order to develop an effective contingency plan. Specifically outline what could happen if each of the top priority risks was to occur.  You can start determining impacts after you develop the scenarios thoroughly. What could be the ultimate impact of each scenario, in detail? You could develop different gradations of the same scenario, such as the best-case, most likely case, and worst-case scenario. Determine who will be in charge of what and when.  Don’t forget to update contact lists and determine who will be responsible for notifications.  Outline time frames. What will happen on the first day or the first week?  Be very specific. You could have timelines for scenarios that deal with physical vulnerabilities, organizational vulnerabilities and institutional vulnerabilities. For example, physical vulnerability might deal with infrastructure. Organizational might deal with whether there are early warning systems or skilled response teams. Institutional vulnerabilities might deal with whether there are financial resources available or external partners. Different people might be in charge of different aspects. Explore these angles in detail. Chart out capacities as well as vulnerabilities. What capacity does the organization have to meet risks or mitigate them?  For example, say the potential hazard is a flood. A potential risk might be river floods overflowing the banks and affecting homes in the area. The vulnerability might be poor infrastructure. The capacity might be having skilled personnel on hand. Do an honest assessment of resources. What functions will you have to change or reduce because of limited resources? Perform a business impact analysis. You want to identify which areas are necessary for the business to meet its mission and continue operating.

You will need to separate the butter into about 7 or 8 equally sized pieces. An easy way to do this is to utilize the printed measurements on the butter wrapper. For example, you can cut the butter into 7 equal pieces of 1 tablespoon each by cutting along the tablespoon measurements on the stick of butter. You will be using both milk and butter to make your dough. It is important that both the milk and butter are at room temperature to ensure proper mixing of the ingredients. Leave the following ingredients on your kitchen counter for 30 minutes to bring them to room temperature:  2/3 cup (160 mL) whole milk 7 tablespoons unsalted butter In order to make chocolate filled donuts, you will need an electric stand mixer or an electric hand mixer. If using a stand mixer, it needs to be fitted with a dough hook attachment. This will ensure that your dough is properly mixed. In the bowl of your electric stand mixer or in a large stainless steel bowl, combine the milk and yeast. Stir the two together with a spoon, and let stand until the yeast is completely dissolved. This should take about 1 minute. You will stir together:  2/3 cup (160 mL) whole milk 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast Once the yeast has dissolved completely in the milk, it is time to add and mix additional ingredients. Place the flour, sugar, salt, and eggs in the bowl of your electric stand mixer or, if using a hand mixer, in a large stainless steel bowl. Mix on low speed for about 3 minutes. In addition to the milk and dissolved yeast, you will be mixing:  3 ½ cups (420 grams) all purpose flour 1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar 2 teaspoons kosher salt 3 eggs You will next add the butter, two pieces at a time. Add two pieces and mix on low speed until the two pieces of butter are completely incorporated into the dough. Keep adding the butter two pieces at a time, making sure it is fully incorporated before you add the next pieces. It should take a total of 5-6 minutes to incorporate all 7 tablespoons of butter. Once you have incorporated the butter,...

You will need to sit down if you're showering with a broken leg. Many people advocate lawn chairs as a good option, but you should check with your doctor beforehand. Get a suggestion from a medical professional about the type of chair to put in your home shower.  Make sure your chair is secure. If a chair slips and slides in the shower, this could cause further injury. You may have to lay a bathmat down to prevent sliding. Have someone without a broken leg test the chair's security before you attempt to get into the shower. If you have a cane or walker, use that for support as you walk towards the shower. Turn your back to the shower stall and lower yourself into the chair.  Use whatever you can hold onto for support. Try holding onto the sides of the shower, or the shower bar if it is secure. Keep in mind, some shower bars are not actually drilled into the wall. Test to see if the bar is secure before attempting to use it as support. Gently sit down in the chair and situate your leg away from the shower's running water. Turn your body so you're facing the shower controls. This will give you a lot more control when showering seated. You can help direct the water on the body parts you want, and keep it away from your cast. If you do not have a detachable shower hose, you can try showering with the main shower head and a wet wash cloth. Just be extra cautious to keep water away from your cast. You should always wrap your cast in protective covering prior to showering. Make sure there is a towel nearby before beginning your shower. You should dry off while you're seated. You do not want your hands and feet to be slippery as you attempt to raise yourself out of the shower. Face the opening of the shower wall and grab onto your cane, crutches, or other sources of support. Gently lift your body out of the stall. If you have a wheel chair, gently lower yourself back into the wheelchair after getting out of the shower stall. While this method can be safe, it's vital to talk to your doctor before trying it.
