Use scissors to cut 2 to 3 feet (61 to 91 cm) of wired or free-form burlap ribbon.  This can be done with nearly any width, but 2 to 4 inch (5 to 10 cm) wide ribbon will work well for many decorative applications. If you use a much thicker ribbon, you may need to cut a longer piece. It's better to start with too much length than too little since you can trim off any excess toward the end of the project. Lay the burlap ribbon flat an identify the center. Fold the ends so that they crisscross over this center point.  The top edge of each folded end should intersect at the exact center point of the ribbon, but the rest of the end will angle downward below this point. Fold the ribbon so that the folds are about as large as you want the final ribbon loops to be. Make sure that both sides are even. Pinch the ribbon at the center point of intersection, then tie it in place with a small wire tie or piece of twine.  Pinch from top to bottom and adjust the inner pleats that form as needed. You should also make any necessary adjustments to the size and shape of the loops before tying off the center. Trim the wire tie or ribbon after tying it on. Keep it as short as possible so it will be easier to cover. Use scissors to cut 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) of wired or free-form burlap ribbon. This piece of ribbon should be one-half to two-thirds the width of the main ribbon. Make sure that it is wide enough to hide the center but not wide enough to distort the shape of the bow. Wrap the new length of burlap around the center of the bow and tack it into place using hot glue.  Make sure that this piece of burlap completely hides the wire or ribbon holding the bow's shape. Also note that the end of this center piece should be positioned to the back of the bow. Trim the ends of the burlap as desired, and try to keep both ends the same approximate length. You can trim the ends at a simple slant, but cutting a "v" shape into both ends can give the bow a decorative appearance. Doing so also makes the burlap less likely to unravel....

Use scissors to cut a hole through the piñata's opening, which is usually on the back and covered by a sticker. Then, insert candy, toys, or other small prizes into the piñata by pushing the items through the hole. Some examples of treats and toys you can use are gummies, hard candies, plastic rings, and tiny candy bars. Find the loop attached to the top of the piñata and thread the end of a piece of rope through the loop. Then, tie the rope in a double knot to secure it to the piñata. Low-hanging tree branches are good options, or you can hang the piñata from a basketball hoop or patio beam. Make sure you choose something sturdy! For example, if you're hanging the piñata from a tree, choose one of the main branches and make sure there are no rotten spots. Make sure the location has plenty of open space around it so the kids have ample room to swing the bat or stick at the piñata. The piñata should be on one side of the branch and the loose end of the rope should be on the other. Pull the end of the rope to lift the piñata off the ground so that it's out of the children’s reach. Tie the dangling loose end of the rope to something sturdy, such as a nearby pole or tree. Be sure to tie the knot loosely, since you'll soon need to untie it! Additionally, make sure the rope isn't in the way of your party goers. Take control of the other end of the rope and lower it so the blindfolded players can reach it with their bats. You can also lower and raise the piñata with the rope to change things up and challenge the partygoers! Make sure the blindfolded child doesn’t hit other children with the stick by accident!

TL;DR in Spanish:

Primero coloca los caramelos y regalos de la fiesta dentro de la piñata. Pasa un trozo de cuerda de 3 metros (10 pies) por el lazo de la parte superior de la piñata.

Use scissors to cut a piece of surgical tape that will cover your entire scar. Place and secure the tape on top of the scar. Leave the tape on the scar for at least eight hours. You can either put the tape on at night or during the day.  If you still have your piercing in your belly button, use a hole puncher to punch a hole into the tape. Fit the tape over the piercing and onto the scar. Remove the tape after five to seven hours. You can purchase surgical tape from your local pharmacy. Rub the gel into the scar for two to three minutes twice a day. Repeat this process for three months, or until the scar has disappeared. You can purchase silicone gels online or from your local pharmacy. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of water into a mug. Microwave the water for two minutes on high. Place a tea bag in the cup. After two minutes, remove the tea bag and let it cool to room temperature, about eight minutes. Once the tea bag has cooled, press the tea bag onto your scar.  Hold the tea bag in place with your hand, surgical tape, or crepe bandages for 15 minutes. Repeat this process two to three times per day for two weeks, or until your scar has reduced or disappeared.

Use scissors to trim down the length of the balsa wood so that it stands at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) taller than the container you plan to use for the candle.  Use the thin balsa wood strips you'd typically find at a craft store. These sticks should be 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches (1.25 to 3.75 cm) wide. If you don't have a container in mind and don't know how large the candle will be, trim the wood down to a length between 6 and 12 inches (15.25 and 30.5 cm). You can trim away any excess later, so it's better to have too much than too little. Place the trimmed balsa wood into a shallow dish. Pour enough room temperature olive oil into the dish to completely cover the wood.  While wood is flammable on its own, coating the wood in oil will allow the fire to catch quicker and burn more evenly. Olive oil burns cleanly, making it a great choice for candle-making projects. Let the wood soak up the oil for at least 20 minutes. You can wait up to one hour, if desired, so that the wood can absorb more oil and burn with an even brighter flame. Remove the wooden sticks from the oil and use clean paper towels to wipe away any excess.  Instead of rubbing the stick dry, you could place it on a plate covered with paper towels and allow it to air dry for several minutes. When ready, the wood should still feel damp and slightly oily to the touch, but it should no longer leave an oily residue on your hands when you handle it. Pry open a metal wick tab and carefully push one end of the treated wood into the opening. Push the wick into the tab as far as possible. The wick tab will hold the wood firmly in place as it sits in the melted wax during the candle-making process. The wooden wick should now be ready to use when you make your candle. Treated balsa wood is easy to handle and burns well. Using wooden wicks instead of cotton ones will add a wooded scent to the candle as it burns, and wooden wicks may also make the occasional crackling sound as the fire consumes them.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Recorta palos de madera de balsa. Remoja la madera de balsa en aceite de oliva. Limpia el exceso de aceite. Fija una portamecha a la base de la mecha. Usa la mecha según sea necesario.


Use shampoo only a couple times per week. Leave your hair’s natural oils intact for better health. Only lather the shampoo a little bit. If your scalp tends to be very oily and needs more frequent washes, focus on your scalp and roots and leave the rest alone. Avoid over-rinsing, which will further remove your hair’s natural oils.  Use a mild shampoo that has no alcohol. Also avoid products made of silicone or its derivatives, which can be identified by the suffix “-cone” on the list of ingredients. These chemicals will create drier hair. Also be wary of shampoos containing sulfate, which will leave your hair lusterless. Invest in more intensive formulas for the winter months. Before you wet your hair, work in a pre-wash conditioner. Then condition your hair again after every shampoo with a leave-in formula to replenish moisture. If your hair tends to dry out very quickly in general, condition it in between shampoos as well. Although a hot shower in cold weather might feel like heaven, be aware that it’s hell for your hair. Before you dunk your head under the stream to treat it, lower the temperature to lukewarm. When it’s time to rinse, lower it again until it’s cool to cold. Use the cold water to seal your hair’s cuticles and prevent its oils from escaping.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lávate el cabello con menos frecuencia. Usa siempre un acondicionador. Evita el agua caliente.


Use sharp shears on young trees with branches that are 1/2 inch (1.27cm) in diameter or smaller. Use pruning saws or long-handled loppers for pruning mature trees. If you don’t have pruning tools of your own, you might be able to rent some from your local hardware store – a good option for a tool you might use for only a few hours each year. After pruning a particular tree, dip the blades of your shears or pruning saw in a solution of one part alcohol and one part water for at least 60 seconds before moving on to the next tree.  This will prevent disease from spreading to other trees.  Alternately, you could use a solution of water and commercial cleaning solutions like Pine-Sol, chlorine bleach, or Lysol.  Just mix one part cleaning solution with a volume of water five times that of the cleaning agent and dip your pruning tools in it for at least 60 seconds. Always cut dead, damaged, and diseased branches (the “three D’s”).  Additionally, cut any suckers – short, new branches sprouting from the trunk.  Watersprouts – branches that grow straight up from an outward-facing limb and typically appear in spring – should be pruned, too.  Remove competing and downward-growing branches. Downward-growing branches generally do not produce a very high fruit yield. Generally, do not prune branches that are growing out of the trunk at about a 45-degree angle.  Anything growing at a much smaller or larger angle should be pruned. If the trunk of the tree splits into several parallel and competing trunks, your tree will have trouble growing and will be more difficult to prune.  Prune your tree in such a way that discourages direct upright growth, except from the central trunk.  Only the uppermost bud of the leader should be allowed to remain during pruning sessions.  This system is appropriate for most trees, and crucial for apple, pear, cherry, and European blue plum trees. For a few fruit trees – peach, nectarine, apricot, and Japanese plum trees – pruning to a central leader is unnecessary. Try to prune the top of the...

Use soap and water to clean the limb.  Make sure to clean the entire limb, not just the site of the injury. Shave the patient’s skin wherever traction straps will be applied. A single blade razor should be sufficient. Wipe away any leftover soap or shaving cream with a wet cloth and then pat dry with a clean towel. Make sure that the limb is totally dry. Ask the patient if they are allergic to adhesive if adhesive skin traction has been prescribed (this is quite uncommon). Avoid using skin traction on a patient that has cuts, scrapes, or surgical incisions where you would need to apply the wrap. Similarly, do not use skin traction on a patient experiencing ulcers or numbness. As skin traction can potentially be painful, a pain management strategy has likely been planned.  Ensure that any necessary pain medication is administered and documented. Tell the patient why skin traction has been prescribed, and how it will help them.  The procedure requires more explanation than some others, as the visual and tangible experiences associated with skin traction can be frightening. If administering skin traction to a child, explain the procedure to them as well. For instance, explain what each piece of the traction apparatus is by saying something like "This material is called traction strapping. It adheres to the skin and helps pull your bone into the correct position." or "We will run this traction cord through this pulley, and attach a small amount of weight that will help keep your leg in alignment."

TL;DR in Spanish:

Limpia y afeita la pierna. No realices una tracción cutánea en piel lesionada. Administra analgésicos si se los han recetado. Explica el procedimiento.


Use some softened butter to lightly coat the pan, and sprinkle a few pinches of powdered sugar over it. Tilt the sheet in all directions to ensure that the sugar evenly coats its surface. Set the sheet aside for the moment. You can substitute non-stick cooking spray for the butter if you prefer. Add 1 tablespoon (18 ¾ g) of citric acid and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of raspberry extract to a small bowl. Whisk them together well until they’re fully blended, and set the bowl aside for the moment. You can use any type of flavor extract that you think would work well with a sour flavor in place of the raspberry. Lemon, lime, orange, and strawberry are other tasty options. Clip a candy thermometer onto the side of a small saucepan. Add 10 tablespoons (125 g) of sugar, 3 tablespoons (56 ¼ g) of corn syrup, and 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of water to the pan, and whisk well to ensure that they’re fully combined. When you clip the thermometer in place, make sure that it’s not touching the bottom of the pan. Place the sugar mixture on the stove, and turn the heat up to high. Allow the mixture to cook until it reaches the right temperature. Once the mixture has reached the right temperature, remove it from the stove. Whisk the mixture and slowly pour the citric acid and flavoring mixture in, blending until it’s fully incorporated. The mixture will still be hot, so add it to the prepared baking sheet slowly. Make sure that it’s spread in as even a layer as possible. If you’d like, you can sprinkle a little more powdered sugar over the top once it’s on the sheet. It needs to cool down in order to set up and harden. Leave it out on the counter or table until it cools completely, which should take about 15 to 30 minutes. When the candy has hardened, use the handle of a kitchen spoon or other utensil to hit it. When it’s broken into small pieces, store them in an airtight container and enjoy.

Use something small and pointed, such as a clean artists brush or a toothpick. Draw it across the surface as far as it will go. Avoid digging into the fondant. This can introduce unwanted pockets of air, which can leave bubbles in the fondant. Keep rolling until the color has been evenly distributed.  For a marbled effect, stop when the surface looks streaked or striped.     If you want your fondant darker, just add more color. It's best to start with a little, and increase if needed.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Unta un poco del color para glaseado sobre la herramienta que utilizarás. Unta el color sobre la superficie del fondant. Enrolla el fondant con la punta de los dedos.

Use spray paint to color the basket frame.  Make sure to use spray paint that is approved for use with metal.     White, black, silver, gold, and bronze paints have the most traditional appeal, but you can use any color that matches with the décor of your room.    Cut a 36-in (91-cm) piece of parchment paper and three 18-in (46-cm) pieces of wax paper. Lay the parchment paper out on an ironing board and place the three pieces of wax paper inside. Fold the parchment paper over the wax paper to sandwich the pieces in.  The parchment paper helps the wax stick together and stay within the layers of paper. It also creates a smooth, finished surface on the wax paper.     If you do not have an ironing board, you can lay this out on a clean dish towel in the middle of a hard floor or table.    Use a low setting on your iron. Pass the iron over the paper sandwich several times to melt the layers of wax paper together. Remove the layered wax paper from the parchment. The wax paper should stick together, but it should not stick to the parchment paper.    Continue creating stacks of three-layered wax paper until you use an entire roll of wax paper.  For large planter frames, you may want to use half of a second roll, as well. You do not need to use new parchment paper for each layer. The parchment paper can be reused. Use a circle cutter to cut 2.5-in (6.35-cm) circles out of each layered sheet of wax paper. Cut as many circles as possible.  If you do not have a circle cutter, you could use a cookie cutter or other circular stencil that measures roughly 2.5 in (6.35 cm) in diameter. Trace around the stencil using a craft razor or blade.     Cut the circles out over a cutting mat. It may help to tape the wax paper to the mat as you work to prevent it from sliding around.    You will need to cut out anywhere from 90 to 120 strands of ribbon.  You can either attach the ribbon in single or double layers. The method you use will determine the needed length of each strand.     Single-layer ribbon should be about 7 in (18 cm)...

Use spray paint to paint the wooden base or mount for your frame a solid color. Let dry before pressing forward.  Make sure that the entire board is covered in an even coating of paint. You should also make sure that the wood is in good condition before you begin paining it. The cuts should be even, and any rough edges should be sanded off to prevent splinters. Fold an 8.5-inch by 11-inch (21.6-cm by 27.9-cm) piece of paper horizontally into accordion folds that are 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) wide. The folds must be even. Otherwise, the resulting pattern will not be even. Use scissors to cut along each fold of the accordion, separating the paper into individual strips. Do not let go of the paper after cutting the fold lines. You still need to hold the paper strip together for the next step in order to create even pieces you can use for your chevron pattern. Use your scissors to cut 1.5-inch (3.8-cm) pieces off the bundled strips. You can let these pieces drop off. There is no longer a need to hold them together. Arrange the small pieces of paper together to create a chevron stripe. The right side of one piece should form a peak with the left side of the next, while the right side of the second piece should form a valley with the left side of the next, and so on.  The pieces need to by connected in a diagonal, zig-zag shape. Tape the pieces together well enough to prevent them from coming apart as you work with them. Tape enough pieces together to create a stripe that can extend over the width of the wood base. Afterward, create new stripes with the extra pieces that are all equal in shape and length. Arrange the stripes so that they are evenly spaced over the wood base or mount. Tape in place using painters tape.  The stripes should go over the places that will remain as the base color. The distance in between each stripe should be 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) so that stripes are all consistently equal. Leave as little overhanging tape as possible. If you overlap the tap onto the board too much, you might end up creating...

Use store-bought or homemade dough to create the macaroni noodles. Mold the dough into a long, thick log-shape. Use the palms of your hands to gently press on the sides of the dough to create an oblong shape. Use a paring knife to slice the dough. Cut the dough into 1 inch thick (2.54 cm) chunks. Lie the slice of pasta dough onto a cutting board. Using your paring knife, slice the dough into three vertical sections. From there, cut each section into 1-inch squares (2.54 cm). Continue this process until you have sliced all of the dough into squares. Take two squares of the pasta dough and lie them on a flat, clean surface. Roll a stainless steel skewer or a wooden rod in some flour. Place the stick or skewer on top of the squares of dough. You can buy a skewer or rod at a kitchen supplies store or online. Gently press the rod into the dough and begin to roll back and forth. The dough will begin to wrap around the rod, creating a tube shape. Once it has completely wrapped around the rod, tilt the rod upward and gently remove the noodles. Continue rolling the remaining pasta squares. Once you have removed the macaroni, place them on a flat tray, clean cutting board, or dinner plate. Be sure to spread the noodles apart. Once the noodles have been formed, you can choose to keep the longer tubes or you can slice them with a paring knife to create shorter, more traditional macaroni noodles. Cut each macaroni tube into 1 inch (2.54 cm) pieces to create shorter noodles. If you do not wish to cook all of the macaroni at that time, place the noodles in a freezer bag and seal it tightly. Homemade pasta can be stored in the freezer for two to three months. To cook the fresh macaroni noodles, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. If you are cooking homemade macaroni noodles that have been frozen, allow the noodles to boil in the water for an extra minute.

Use straight lines for the arms, torso, and legs. Make the arms and torso similar in length, and make the legs about 1/3 longer. Then, draw triangles or ovals for the hands and feet. Make the hands about 1/5 the length of the arm, and make the feet about 1/6 the length of the legs.  To get the proportions right, make your stick-figure outline about 7 times as tall as your character’s head. Have the arm lines start about 1/5 of the way down the line you draw for the torso. Have the stick-figure outline of your character capture whatever pose you want them to be in. For example, if you want your character to be sitting, draw their legs so they're bent. Or, if you want your character to be waving, draw one of their arms so it's bent. Drawing over the stick-figure outline you made, sketch a rough outline of your character’s torso, arms, hips, and legs. Don’t worry about making the outline precise yet. At this point, you just want to represent the different parts of the body with basic shapes.  Draw ovals for the upper and lower arms and legs, and then draw a circle at each joint for the knees and elbows. Proportionally, make your character’s upper and lower arms the same length and size. Make their upper legs thicker than their lower legs. For the torso, draw a quadrilateral (a 4-sided shape) that’s wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Eventually, the wide corners at the top will become your character’s shoulders. To outline the hips, draw an oval over the point where the torso and upper legs meet. Anime characters tend to be tall and thin, but you can experiment with different heights and body shapes! Trace around the outer edges of your character’s body so you have one seamless outline. At this point, start refining the different parts of the body so they look more realistic, like your character’s hands, shoulders, hips, and neck. When you’re finished, you’ll have a full, detailed outline of your character’s body around the more abstract outlines you drew before.  To connect and refine the legs, draw...

Use styling mouse, paying attention especially to the hair at the front of the head, framing the face. This is the hair you will be using to create the bangs roll, so you want it to receive a good portion of the mousse. After you have styled the rest of the hair, go over the roll softly with a brush to smooth down flyaways. Use a hard-hold hairspray and focus on the bangs roll, and any other rolls you may have put in your hair.

Use the  medium-low setting if your grill has it. Then, wait about 15 minutes for the grill to reach full temperature. While it’s heating up, prepare the crab legs. If your grill has a limited temperature range, using a medium setting is fine. Remember to watch the crab legs carefully to ensure they don’t overcook. Pour about 0.25 cups (59 mL) of olive oil into a bowl. Using a kitchen brush, cover all of the crab legs in the oil. The oil will prevent them from sticking to the grill.  If you don’t have a brush, you can rub the oil onto the crab legs by hand. Another option is to roll them in the oil. You could also wrap the crab legs in aluminum foil. It’s safe to use on the grill and will prevent them from sticking. If you plan on seasoning the crab legs before cooking them, use foil instead of oil. Lay 4 sheets of aluminum foil on a countertop. Spread the crab legs out evenly between them. You can generally fit as much as 3.5 lb (1.6 kg) king crab legs, so get more foil if you wish to make more than that. Set aside another 4 sheets of foil to wrap up the crab legs. The foil isn't necessary if you plan on cooking the crab legs plain. Simply coat them in oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill. For example, take about ¼ of a cup (55 g) of butter. Rub it over each of the crab legs by hand. Then, cut a lemon into quarters and squeeze them onto the crab legs.  For additional flavor, chop up 5 cloves of garlic and sprinkle them over the crab legs. Add ½ of a cup (2.5 g) of parsley, 1 teaspoon (5.69 g) of sea salt, and 1 teaspoon (2.33 g) of black pepper as well. You can also melt some butter to pour over the crab legs once you’re done grilling them. Place the crab legs closer to the side of the grill, away from the coals or direct heat, to prevent them from overcooking. Keep them about 5 in (13 cm) away from the heat. Then, close the grill top and leave the crab legs undisturbed. If you’re cooking the crab legs in foil, be sure to wrap them up tightly to lock in any added seasonings. Butter and other...

Use the affirmative imperative form of leer to issue a command instructing someone to read something.  Note that there is no imperative conjugation for the singular first person "yo," or "I" in English, because you cannot issue a command to yourself. Example: "Read the newspaper," Lee el periódico.  tú: lee él/ella/usted: lea nosotros/-as: leamos vosotros/-as: leed ellos/ellas/ustedes: lean When you need to tell or command someone to not read something, you would use the negative imperative, which differs from the affirmative imperative.  Note that there is no imperative conjugation for the singular first person "yo," or "I" in English, because you cannot issue a command to yourself. Example: "Do not read the newspaper," No leas el periódico.  tú: no leas  él/ella/usted: no lea nosotros/-as: no leamos vosotros/-as: no leáis ellos/ellas/ustedes: no lean

TL;DR in Spanish:

Opta por el imperativo afirmativo. Cambia al imperativo negativo.


Use the back of a fork to smoosh the avocado up well, and to get rid of any lumps. Avocado is great for the skin, because it is full of healthy fats and oils. These fats and oils help moisturize and nourish your skin.  Save the other half of the avocado for eating later, or for another mask. Honey is one of the best things you can put on your skin. It is naturally hydrating, antibacterial, and antimicrobial. This means that it can help moisturize your face while killing off acne-causing bacteria. Yogurt is very beneficial to the skin. Not only is it naturally hydrating, but the lactic acid in it helps kill acne-causing bacteria. The lactic acid in it is also gently exfoliating as well. It may also help restore your skin's pH. The higher the fat percentage, the more moisturizing your face mask will be. If you have very dry skin, try full-fat, Greek yogurt. If you have oily skin, however, try low-fat yogurt instead. Face masks are meant to nourish and hydrate your skin, so you need to start with a clean face. Use warm water, and if necessary, a little bit of facial cleanser, to wash your face. The warm water is important, because it will open up your pores, and make it easier for your skin to absorb all those nutrients in the mask. You can apply the mask using your fingertips or a clean foundation brush; take care to avoid the eye and lip area, however! Sit or lay down some place comfortable. You can pass the time by listening to some music, reading a book, or watching a show. The less you move around, the less likely the mask will be to drip everywhere! After this, you can follow up with your usual skincare regime, such as toner and moisturizer. You may not need to use any moisturizer, however, due to how moisturizing this mask is!

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pela, quítale la semilla y tritura la mitad de un aguacate en un tazón pequeño. Rocía 1 cucharada (20 gramos) de miel. Agrégale 1 cucharada (15 gramos) de yogur natural. Lávate el rostro con agua tibia. Aplícate la mascarilla en el rostro. Deja reposar la mascarilla de 10 a 15 minutos para que haga su efecto. Lávate el rostro con agua tibia, salpícalo con agua fría para cerrar los poros y luego, sécalo con suavidad con una toalla limpia y suave.


Use the back of the spoon to spread it evenly. It should be approximately dinner plate roundness in size. Pavlovas should be round with a little hollow that takes the cream and topping, so it helps to imagine that you're making a nest shape with slightly raised edges.  If your shape is on the oblong side of circular, don't worry too much about how accurate the circular shape is - creative misshapes are permissible as long as the topping stays put. Place it in the oven and cook for 60-70 minutes, or until crisp. Don't let the meringue over-brown; it should be an off-white color on the outside when it's ready. Place it on a wire rack to cool. Transfer it to a serving dish and prepare to add the toppings. Allow the meringue to cool completely before finishing the dish.  There's a tradition to turn the pavlova over and decorate the base because it is said that this side is less crisp. Sometimes this reason is actually a nifty cover-up trick for little cooking mistakes like over-browning the top. Either way, the pavlova centre will quickly lose its initial crispness anyway because of the whipped cream and topping.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Coloca la mezcla en el círculo de papel manteca. Haz un pozo pequeño en el centro. Hornea el merengue. Retira el pavlova del horno.


Use the beat and rhythm of the music as a guide to start adding some footwork into your dancing. As you’re shifting your weight back and forth, try picking up your foot and moving it from where it was before. It doesn’t have to be a large movement, but moving your feet will help you bounce and move the rest of your body along to the music.  Keep your weight in the balls of your feet for stability as you move them. If you’re dancing with a partner or near other people, be mindful of your foot movement and be sure not to step on anybody’s toes. While you’re moving your feet and shifting your weight, start to move your hips in the direction that you’re shifting your weight. Moving your hips will move the rest of your body and add a dynamic layer to your dancing. Twist your hips to twist and move your body even more. If you’re nervous or uncomfortable, you may feel like keeping your arms rigid and tight to your body. Relax and incorporate your arms into your dancing with some simple moves like a fist pump by closing your fist, raising one of your arms, and pumping your hand to the beat.  Try bending your arms at the elbows, hold them near your sides, and move them up and down like you’re running while you move along to the beat. Stay active and play around with arm movements that match the music. When you feel more comfortable, try more complex arm movements. For example, try an arm wave by curling at your fingers and rolling up your arm to mimic a wave travelling up your arm. Level refers to how you’re posturing yourself while you’re dancing. You could be standing tall, squatting at your knees, on the tips of your toes, or even on the ground if you’re breakdancing. Avoid staying at one level during your freestyle or you’ll appear rigid. Mix in different levels to make your moves more exciting. For example, you could change from standing and moving your arms at your sides to bending your knees into a squat and raising your arms above your head. It’s a small movement that makes a big change in your dancing....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mueve los pies a ritmo para mover y balancear el cuerpo. Menea las caderas para mover todo el cuerpo. Agrega los brazos a los movimientos para agregar otra parte. Cambia los niveles para que tus movimientos sean más dinámicos. Cambia la dirección de tu cuerpo para agregar originalidad. Alterna entre movimientos rápidos y lentos para cambiar la energía.


Use the butter to lightly coat the bottom and sides of the pan. This will keep the toffee from sticking to the pan when you need to remove it. Set the pan aside on a wire cooling rack for later -- you'll be pouring the hot toffee into this to cool. You can also line the bottom with parchment paper or use a Silpat mat if you don't want to grease the pan. Simply cut the butter up into squares. This increases the surface area of the butter and helps it melt evenly. Heavy bottom pans will prevent the sugar from burning later on, but you can use a normal pot if you don't have one. Stir the butter regularly as it melts. Once you are sure that all of it is melted, move on to the next step -- you do not want it to brown. Once the butter is melted, add 2 cups granulated white sugar, 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup water and stir it in until the sugar has completely dissolved. When possible, use a wooden spoon instead of a metal one to prevent sugar crystals from forming. If you do not have corn syrup, add an extra 4 tablespoons of butter, divided into small pieces. Sugar can recrystallize when over-stirred, leading to grainy toffee instead of the smooth texture you are looking for. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to knock any loose sugar crystals off the sides of the pan and down into the mixture, then let the toffee sit, unstirred, until you take it off the heat. You can also cover the pot briefly -- the steam will condense on the sides of the pot, dissolving the sugar and dripping back into the mixture. This is the "hard crack" stage of candy. This means that, when it cools, the candy will break up into the hard pieces of toffee that you are looking for. Turn the heat off when the thermometer reads 300℉. If you do not have a candy thermometer, the toffee is done when the mixture is a rich golden-amber color, similar to the skin of an almond. Do not let it get brown, however, as this means it is burning. This ensures that you get the extract throughout the mixture evenly, but don't...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Esparce 1 cucharada de mantequilla en una bandeja para horno de 27 x 43 cm (11 x 17 pulgadas). Divide la 1 1/2 taza de mantequilla que queda en pedazos pequeños. Calienta la mantequilla en una cacerola de fondo grueso a fuego medio alto. Agrega la azúcar, el agua, la sal y el jarabe de maíz, y disminuye el fuego a medio bajo. Una vez que la mezcla empiece a hervir, deja de revolverla. Con la ayuda de una pinza, introduce un termómetro de carne en la mezcla y espera hasta que marque 149 °C (300 °F). Apaga el fuego y agrega rápidamente 2 cucharaditas de extracto de vainilla. Vierte el toffee con cuidado en la bandeja para hornear. Enfría el toffee en la congeladora entre 20 y 30 minutos.


Use the car's vehicle identification number to see if it was ever wrecked, stolen, flood-damaged, or recalled. A VIN has 17 characters and is made up of both numbers and capital letters. The VIN is located on the dashboard of the driver's side of the car. You can view it by standing outside the vehicle and looking at the driver's side corner of the dashboard where it meets the windshield. You will use that number to search the car's history on various websites.  If you can't find the VIN on the dashboard, open the door on the driver's side and look where the door latches when it's closed. The VIN number should be displayed here. If the VIN is fewer than 17 characters, the used car was made before 1981 and the information on the car will be limited. These are 3 of the most well-known companies that provide vehicle history reports. The search bar to type in the VIN is front and center when you go to these websites. When you type in the VIN, you'll get vehicle reports from over the years. AutoCheck and CarFax require you pay for the vehicle history report, while iSeeCars provides the information for free.  Go to https://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/?siteID=0 and type in the VIN. You'll get a report that covers everything from major accidents to flood damage. Head over to https://www.carfax.com/vehicle-history-reports/ and type in the VIN. You'll find up-to-date information on the vehicle's history. Use https://www.iseecars.com/vin to get vehicle information for free. You'll get information on the car's condition as well as dealer analysis. A single vehicle history report from CarFax costs around $40. Unlimited reports for a month will cost closer to $100. For AutoCheck, the price is $24.99 plus taxes for 1 report. Type your credit card information into the site and then download the file that comes up. While iSeeCars gives you a vehicle history report for free, it doesn't have nearly the information that AutoCheck and CarFax reports do. It is recommended you pay for a report to make the best decision...

Use the day to advertise. Tell everyone that you will be selling candy and that each bar will be around $1 or so. That way, they will come to school with money and ready to see what you have. Sell it on the bus, in the cafeteria, even during class, if people really want the candy! (But don't get in trouble.) Stay on top. Eventually, people will try to sell candy too. You need to make sure they don't. Get better product and deals than them, and run them out of business. You may find that interest declines after a while and so do your profits. Take a break from selling, then come back with specials. Buy three bars, get one free. Create a bar-a-day club where customers can buy a bar each day Monday through Thursday and get a free bar on Free Friday.  Expand your employees. Is anybody interested in joining you? If so, hire them. You could hire a supplier (makes candy) and a distributor (sells candy). That way, all you do is sit around and manage the money. Eventually, people could even work for your distributor or supplier. Gain more ground. Try to get distributors in different areas. Do you have friends in another school or neighborhood? If so, you could potentially get more profit off of different people. While it's okay to spend some of your profit right away, it's best to avoid spending all or even most of it immediately. Instead, save the money you make for purchases that are better than what you can get with only a few dollars at a time.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ve a la escuela un día sin los dulces. Vende dulces todos los días de aquí en adelante. Tómate una pausa de la venta de vez en cuando. ¡Ahorra el dinero que has ganado para lo que sea que quieras!


Use the enchantment table to open the enchantment interface. You can place armor, swords, bows, books, or most tools in the enchantment table. This goes in the left slot in PC edition, and the top slot in Pocket Edition. Books store enchantments for later use with an anvil. Enchanting tools directly is more efficient. In the latest versions of Minecraft, each enchantment consumes 1, 2, or 3 lapis lazuli. Place the gem in the empty slot in your table. Hovering over an option will tell you the name of the enchantment. There is also a chance to add additional, randomly selected enchantments.  You cannot reset the available selection without enchanting something. Blocking the path to a bookshelf will reveal new, usually lower-level options.  Different types of items have different available enchantments. There are always three options on the enchantment table. The top one is the weakest, and costs one lapis lazuli and one experience level. The middle one costs two lapis lazuli and two levels. The bottom one costs three of each. The number next to each option is the level of the enchantment. You must be at least this level to choose that option. It does not change the amount of experience it costs.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Coloca el objeto que quieras encantar en la mesa de encantamiento. Coloca lapislázuli en la otra ranura. Selecciona uno de los tres encantamientos. Comprende el coste.

Use the handle of a rat-tail comb to divide your hair from ear to ear. Then, divide it down the center from your forehead to your nape, sectioning the sides and back into segments about 1⁄2–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm) wide. Make the sections as even as possible and secure them in place with clips or rubber bands.  If you have a hard time keeping your sections flat, you can straighten them in place with a flat iron.  To make realistic dreads, your hair length should be at least 1 in (2.5 cm) long. This method also works best with naturally curly or textured hair. Apply a coin-sized amount of gel to your hand and work it into one section at a time. Begin about 1 in (2.5 cm) away from the roots and rub the gel all the way to the tips.  Hair gel with a strong hold is ideal for shaping secure dreads. Keeping the hair gel out of the roots prevents product buildup on your scalp. After applying the hair gel, grab a section of your hair and roll it back and forth between your palms. Roll the section until the hair sticks together and forms a a thin, oval shape resembling dreadlocks. Repeat on each section. with a comb, then roll each dread again. With a fine-toothed comb, brush your hair up from the tips to the root in several short strokes. After reaching the root, roll the dread again into an oval shape to form a temporary dread. Let the hair gel dry for at least 15-30 seconds before teasing your hair. After making your temporary dreads, spray a thin layer of hairspray overhead, 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) away from your roots. Choose a hairspray with a gentle hold to help it maintain the dreadlock's shape without damaging your hair. When you're ready to remove the temporary dreads, wash them out in the shower with conditioner.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Divide el cabello en partes iguales. Moldea las secciones con gel para el cabello. Enrolla cada rasta con la mano. Carda cada sección Usa espray para el cabello para asegurar las rastas.


Use the kind that can be found in costume stores, dollar shops etc that cover your face but has eye holes, mouth hole and nostril holes. This mask will keep the fabric away from your face, helping you to keep breathing and seeing okay. Try the mask on for comfort. If it isn't comfortable, make any adjustments needed before gluing the fabric to it, as it's harder to do afterward. Lycra, spandex, etc. are good choices but if you're not sure, check with the fabric retailer who might be able to offer some options once they understand what you're trying to do. Attach the fabric to the mask by gluing it all the way around, overlapping the fabric edges to the back of the mask, going from the top of the mask down. A hot glue gun will make this easier but take care not to melt the plastic if it's a plastic mask.  As you glue, keep the fabric taut (stretched) so that it doesn't bunch up. Check that the fabric is smooth - wrinkles will spoil the end look. Be sure to work around the elastic part that holds the mask to your head––it needs to be able to stretch normally still. This is the piece that hides the back and sides of your head and joins to the front mask, completing the mask piece.  Place the mask down on a wider and higher piece of material. Trace a wide oval or circle around the mask, leaving at least 4 inches/10cm space between the edges of the mask and the circle or oval circumference, with slightly longer for the portion that goes down your neck (the part that tucks into the shirt). The back piece fabric needs to be large to ensure a good fit. Use your own head size to guide the final measurements. Overlap the top edge of the back piece (opposite end of the part you've designated as the neck end) to the back of the mask behind the forehead. Continue gluing down the sides of the mask to the chin. This completes the back piece; the remaining unglued length at the base will tuck into the neck cover when assembling the mask. This part isn't essential if you find that you can see through the fabric but test it to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra una máscara blanca. Encuentra una tela que sea bien elástica. Corta la tela ligeramente más ancha y larga que la máscara. Crea una pieza trasera. Pega la pieza trasera a la máscara.

Use the law of supply and demand to inform your base valuation of the property.  Look around. Note the sale price of any other similar businesses in the area. This will help you get a general idea of what that type of business is worth.  You're likely to come up with a fairly wide range of prices. Try to mentally place the business you're evaluating somewhere along that range to get an initial assessment. Feel free to ask business owners if they have an estimate of the value of their business. Many won't have a number ready offhand, but some might.   Examine assets. Just as important as knowing the likely asking price of the business you're examining is knowing what assets it has. There are two ways to assess the assets of a business:  The liquidation value method looks at the cash value of the business if all of its hard assets (things like furniture, equipment, property, and goods for sale) were to be sold off. A thorough inventory of hard assets is required for an accurate liquidation value.When using this method, it's important not only to get a good idea of how much each hard asset might sell for, but also how likely it is to sell quickly.  The income capitalization method supposes that the business will remain in operation after it is sold, and projects future income based on the business's past performance. Detailed financial records are helpful in estimating income capitalization.  If you evaluate a business's assets using income capitalization, be sure to account for operating costs and other expenses. Now that you have a better idea of the shape and size of the business you're investigating, get a more accurate picture of how money flows through it. The most common way to do this is to apply a formula called the “seller's discretionary cash flow” (SDCF) model that provides a measure of a business's earnings.  Be sure the model works for you. SDCF only works for businesses that are run by an owner-operator, such as most small businesses and some franchise operations. In the case of a larger or...

Use the make and model of your car to find the correct oxygen sensor. For example, search for a Toyota Prius to find the exact sensor used in a new Prius. Make sure the new sensor is the same size and shape as the old one. It should also be the same brand.  You may find off-brand sensors at a cheaper rate, but avoid them for the sake of your vehicle. The only sensor model guaranteed to work with the vehicle’s onboard computer is the same one the manufacturer used. If you are able to, contact an auto parts store before attempting to change the sensor. You could also take the old sensor to a store if you can get a ride there. New sensors come packed with a bag of bronze gel. You may be wondering what that strange goo is at first, but it’s a very important lubricant. Cut open the bag, then use a glove or clean rag to spread a small amount of the lubricant onto the new sensor’s threads. The threads are the grooves in the metal ring near the tip of the sensor.  To avoid any problems with the anti-seize, wear a glove when applying it by hand. If you get it on your skin, it isn’t likely to harm you, but thoroughly wash your hands afterward. You do not need a lot of the gel. As long as you get some of it into the thread grooves, the sensor will fit properly in the exhaust line. Fit the tip of the sensor into the hole on the exhaust line. Make sure it is centered and goes in smoothly as you begin rotating it clockwise by hand. Once it is tightly in place, use an oxygen sensor socket or open end wrench to give it a final turn. The new sensor doesn’t have to be tightened as much as possible. In fact, overtightening the sensor could strip the threads, making it impossible to remove! Modern oxygen sensors come equipped with a connected electrical cable, so you don’t have to do any additional work. The cable will be hanging from the free end of the sensor. Plug it into the outlet port close to the exhaust line. Push the plug in until it snaps into place. Make sure the cable isn’t touching the engine or other parts that...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escoge un sensor de oxígeno nuevo que sea idéntico al anterior. Agrega una pequeña cantidad de antiadherente al sensor nuevo. Gira el sensor hacia la derecha para asegurarlo sobre el conducto de escape. Enchufa el conector eléctrico nuevamente dentro del vehículo. Arranca el automóvil para verificar si el problema se solucionó.


Use the method of finding the average -- adding up all of the numbers in the set and dividing the result by the amount of numbers -- to find the average of each category. Let's say you're trying to find your weighted average for a class and you're working with the following averages and weight categories:  Homework average = 93% Test average = 88% Quiz average = 91 % Remember that the weight categories should add up to 100%. Let's say you're working with the following weight categories:  Homework average = 30 % of final grade Test average = 50 % of final grade Quiz average = 20 % of final grade Now, simply convert each weight category into a decimal and then multiply it by the average it represents. 30% is really .3, or 3/10 of the final grade, 50% is really .5, or 1/2 of the total grade, and 20% is really .2, or 2/10 of the final grade. Now, multiply these decimal-converted weight categories by the averages they represent.  Homework average = 93x.3=27.9{\displaystyle 93x.3=27.9}  Test average = 88x.5=44{\displaystyle 88x.5=44}  Quiz average = 91x.2=18.2{\displaystyle 91x.2=18.2} To find the final weighted average, simply add up the three results. 27.9+44+18.2=90.1{\displaystyle 27.9+44+18.2=90.1}. The final weighted average of the three groups of numbers is 90.1{\displaystyle 90.1}.

Use the microwave if you need to thaw your pastry sheets as fast as possible. The puff pastry won't need to be microwaved or thawed if it can be folded easily. The pastry sheet should be cold to the touch when you use it. If the sheet is room temperature or warmer, return it to the fridge and give it some time to chill. Don't manipulate a pastry sheet that's not fully thawed as this could lead to the sheet tearing. Place the towels and pastry sheet on the plate in your microwave. Turn the microwave to the "high" setting and turn the microwave on for 15 seconds. When the 15 seconds are up, flip the paper towels and pastry sheet and turn the microwave on for another 15 seconds. If the pastry sheet doesn't fold easily after coming out of the microwave, place it back in on "high" for another 5 seconds on each side. Keep microwaving for 5 seconds on each side until the pastry sheet folds easily.

Use the model number and brand listed on your machine to determine what kind of washing machine you’re using. Contact your manufacturer and order some replacement shock absorbers.  The shock absorbers are small coils or pistons that absorb the vibration from your drum when it’s spinning. They also connect the drum to the frame of the machine. There are either 2, 4, or 5 of them depending on your model. The model and brand are usually listed on the front, but they may be printed on a metal plate on the back of the machine or inside of the door. Some newer models require a professional to install new shock absorbers. Read your machine’s manual to see if you can take the front panel off to access the shock absorbers. Find the supply lines for cold and hot water on the back of your machine. Twist the valve on each line so that it is closed. Turn the electricity for your machine off by unplugging it. The water lines are usually thin and made of rubber. They often have a blue and red valve on top of them near the connection to the frame. Ask your manufacturer or consult your machine’s manual to determine how to remove your front panel. Usually this involves removing the rubber seal around your drum and unscrewing several screws under the panel before lifting it up. Remove the bottom panel on a top-load washer. You’ll have to tilt the machine on its side to do this. Keep the case from getting scratched by laying a rug or towel out before doing this. Find the shock absorbers by looking for rods connecting the drum to the frame. Unscrew the bolts connecting each rod to the drum and frame. Remove your rods and set them aside. They may not appear to be broken, but the inner coil in one of these absorbers may be broken.  Some shock absorbers have pins locking them to the drum and the frame. If any of the pins fell out, simply slide them back in. This was probably the cause of your shaking. If you have 5 absorbers, 1 of them is probably in the back. You may not be able to reach this piece without professional assistance....

Use the new layer icon in the Layers menu, or the File → New → Layer command. Using Edit → Fill, change the Use setting of this layer to Black and name it "Rain," then click OK.  If you changed the default layer characteristics, make sure this layer is set to Mode "Normal" and Opacity 100%. This method works best in Photoshop CS 6, CC, and CC14. In earlier versions, some menu options may be in different locations. Also, the motion blur effect in earlier versions produces wonky results in the edges of the photo. You can get around this by extending the canvas space around the image before you begin, then cropping it back after you're finished. In the top menu, use Filter → Add Noise to add a scatter of white dots to the rain layer. In the dialog menu that opens, set the amount to 25% (for moderate rain), change the distribution to "Gaussian" (for a less uniform, more natural appearance), and check the "monochromatic" box. Click OK. See the Tips section below for an alternative to this step if you don't like the end result of this method. The white dots are probably quite small, so let's make them more visible. Open the scale menu with the top menu: Edit → Transform → Scale. Set the width (W) to about 400% and the height (W) to the same value. The white dots should now be more visible. You can clink the link icon between the W and H values to automatically link the two together, so they change proportional to each other. The blend mode option is in the Layers panel, most likely set to "Normal." Change this to "Screen" and the original image should be visible underneath the white proto-rain. With the Rain layer selected, click the icon that looks like a little downward arrow and a series of horizontal lines, located in the top right of the Layers panel. Select Convert to Smart Object from the drop-down menu. This will let you edit the rain layer non-destructively, meaning your changes can easily be reversed or altered. Select Filter → Blur → Motion Blur. In the dialog menu that appears, set the angle of the rain...

Use the object, such as a lighter or key, to create friction against the front of the indentation—right where your lips would go when you’re taking a sip of the drink. Rub the object back and forth quickly on this spot until the lid bursts open while holding the can steady with your other hand.  This method often creates a loud pop when successful. Make sure the object isn’t sharp—you’re trying to create friction, not tear the lid open with the object.

Use the proper forms for your state and jurisdiction when handling a tenant eviction; never use generalized forms or forms that you created, since they might not have the exact information you need to legally evict a tenant in your state. In most cases, your state will provide a template for one of the following types of eviction notices:   Pay Rent or Quit Notice: This is used when rent has not been paid. The tenant is given a set number of days by which to pay rent or move out. Failure to do either results in eviction.      Cure or Quit Notice: This is used if the tenant violates the terms of the lease in a different way, like by inviting a person not on the lease to move in or having a pet without permission. The tenant must correct ("cure") the situation or be formally evicted.      Unconditional Quit Notice: This is used when the tenant faces eviction for extreme violations like destroying property, other violent crimes, or not paying rent for months, even if he or she pays the rent or attempts to correct the situation. Use this type of notice when you want the tenant out no matter what.      30 to 60-day Notice to Vacate: This type of notice is used when you need to end a month-to-month lease, even if the the tenant did nothing wrong.    Tape it to the front door and send it in the mail. This is the most common procedure to follow, but it could be different in your state, so make sure to double check. In order to make sure there's no question whether the tenant received the notice, tape a copy to the front door of the house or apartment and send another copy through the certified mail.  Although you may be tempted to rely upon an informal text, email or even oral notice to the tenant, you must supplement that with "proper written notice", as required by your state laws, if you plan to follow through with an actual eviction by court order. It's very important to follow the correct procedure for notifying the tenant of the impending eviction. If you have to go to court later, you don't want the tenant to...

Use the return key to move your title down the page. It should be about 1/3 of the way down the page.  If your title is especially long or it has a colon in the middle of it, you can place it on two lines.  Cut out extra words and abbreviations. In APA style, you should be as precise as possible.  Use title case capitalization. That means that you capitalize important words, such as nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives, but that you don't capitalize unimportant words, such as articles, prepositions, and conjunctions. Basically, you don't capitalize words that are three letters or fewer unless they are at the beginning of a title or after punctuation. Press the return key once. Type out your name. You should use your first name, middle initial or initials, and your last name. Skip titles such as "Dr."  If more than one person is responsible for the paper, include all author names. Separate two names with the word "and." Separate three or more names with commas, placing the word "and" between the final two. The institution is your university or other organization you're affiliated with. Basically, you are telling your reader where you did the majority of your research.  If you have multiple authors who are affiliated with the same institution, place the name of the institution after you list the names of the writers.  If you have multiple authors who are affiliated with different institutions, separate the names of the authors and write the name of each writer's corresponding university below his or her name. Highlight your text. In the paragraph group, under the "Home" tab of a Word document, select the line spacing button. Under the spacing drop-down menu, select "2." Your text should now be double-spaced. Highlight the text on the page. At the top of the screen, click on the button under paragraph to center your text. It should move all of it to the center of the screen. A running header goes at the top of your paper, and it continues throughout the paper. On the first page, your header will be "Running...

Use the ruler to draw your frames. Do this on a suitable paper. For panels that will be inserted at odd angles, or that don’t fit in the general flow, you can use separate sheets for these and then combine everything after scanning.  If you are looking to create a comic to be published in a newspaper, the standard size is 13” x 4” for the entire comic, with four 3” frames. Newspaper strips are drawn at double the actual printed size, so the finished comic would be 6” x 1.84”. Working at double size makes it easier to draw details.  Web comics can be any size you would like, though you should keep in mind the typical viewer’s display size. If you make your comic visible on a monitor with a resolution of 1024x 768, most users will not have an issue. Many viewers will not enjoy scrolling left and right in a web page to view a comic. Keep this in mind when laying out the comic. Scrolling up and down is typically much more acceptable. Draw in light pencil so that you can easily erase and make adjustments. Continue adjusting your drawing until you have the outline for your final ink. Make sure to take the space needed for your dialogue into account. Leave blank space to include dialogue bubbles, thought bubbles, narration boxes, exclamations, and sound effect words. Many comic artists go over the pencil lines with ink. This allows the artist to erase the remaining pencil lines after inking is finished. Take time to make sure the final lines are polished. If writing dialogues by hand, add them now. Make any final revisions to the dialogue and text as you add it to the page. Chances are things will change as they make the transition from script to comic. Once the inking is done, you can scan the comic onto a computer. This will allow you to add typed text as well as use image editing software to color the comic if you choose. Scanning the comic also makes publishing it online much easier.  Scan your picture in at 600 DPI (dots per inch). This resolution will keep your drawn lines intact and crisp looking.   If your...

Use the ruler to measure the height and width of the picture you'll be cutting the mat to fit. Both of the mats you cut should match the dimension of the picture exactly; the inner area of the second (window frame) mat will need to be cut at least a half inch smaller than the picture itself to hold it in place. Write down the picture's dimensions and set it aside for now. During this step you can decide how wide you want to cut your window mat to go on top of the picture. If only a portion of the picture needs to be visible, a wider mat will fill in the non-focal area around the edges and let you center the picture exactly where you want it. If you have a frame picked out that you want to use, remove the glass or plastic from the front and extract the backing board. The backing board is what you will be using for reference as the mats will be measured and cut to fit the inner part of the frame where the picture sits. Copy down the dimensions of the frame, making sure to differentiate what the various measurements are for. Most frames you buy will already have their specifications listed. Disregard this measurement and take your own. Since it's imperative that the mat you cut be able to fit the frame, it's better not to take chances with sizing. With the dimensions of the picture or artwork in mind, decide what size will work best for cutting the window mat. The window mat will be placed around the edges of the front side of the picture and will usually overlap the picture slightly, so settle on a window mat size that doesn't obscure too much of the picture. On the back of the second mat board, trace the measurements of the picture where you plan to cut the window frame. For most small-to-medium sized pictures, a window mat with a width of around .5"—1.5" will provide a nice frame for the picture without covering too much of it.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mide la imagen que deseas enmarcar. Mide el marco. Escoge un tamaño para el paspartú de ventana.


Use the same process as you did for the bottom and middle tiers. Sew 2 rows of stitching, then gather them until the top edges matches your waist measurement. Cut the excess thread off, knot it, then trim it close to the fabric. Choose a 1 to 2-inch (2.5 to 5.1-cm) wide twill tape that matches the color of your petticoat. Cut it 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) longer than your waist measurement. You need this extra length so that you will have room for the overlap and hook closures. For a nicer finish, use satin ribbon instead. Fold the narrow ends of your twill tape by 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm). Press them with an iron, then sew them down using a straight stitch. Make sure that the left end of the twill tape aligns with the left edge of the petticoat. The right edge of the twill needs to extend past the right edge of the petticoat. Start at the left end of the twill tape and finish on the right. You are sewing past the edge of the petticoat because you want to sew the rest of the twill tape waistband down.  Sew as close to the edge of the twill tape as possible. Remember to backstitch and to take out the pins. Add a hook to the underside of the left end of the waistband. Add eyes to the top of the right side of the waistband. The first eye should align with the right edge of the petticoat. If you have enough room, you can add more hooks along the excess, overhanging waistband.  Keep the additional eyes 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. You only need 1 hook, just like on a bra. Sew the hooks and eyes on by hand through the loops at the ends. Alternatively, you can use snaps instead.

Use the same voice that you would use to ask to speak to someone on the phone. Be firm, calm, and clear. If you sound emotional, confused, or upset, then the person will sense your weakness and will try to exploit you. If you sound calm, then the person will see that you're being reasonable and that it's okay for you to say "no" once in a while. If you don't raise your voice or sound upset, the person will be much more likely to accept your explanation. Stand tall and keep your arms at your sides or use gestures to emphasize your words. Make eye contact with the person as you say "no" to show that you mean business. Don't fidget or play with your hands or jewelry, or you will look insecure about your decision. Don't cower away from the person or cross your arms over your chest, or you will look like you're not happy with your decision and that you can be swayed. If you do feel sorry that you can't do the work, then you can say a simple, "I'm sorry," but the more you keep repeating that you're sorry, the less firm you will sound. The person will think that he can still convince you to do the task, and you'll only make yourself look weak and will feel worse about not doing the task. If you apologize, it will look like you're doing something wrong by not taking on the task, and that's not the case.  Don't say, "I am so, so sorry that I can't walk your dog next weekend. I feel really, really bad about it." Instead, say, "I'm sorry I don't have time to walk your dog next weekend." Giving a brief explanation can make the person understand why you can't do the thing he wants you to do. You don't have to be excessive about it, but giving just a sentence or two of explanation can help the person see that you have too much going on to complete the task. You don't have to lie or make up excuses. Just be honest. Here are some explanations for why you can't do something:  "I can't finish this project tonight because I have to wrap up this report by midnight." "I can't drive you to the dentist tomorrow because my husband...

TL;DR in Spanish:


Use the weekend to cook healthy meals for the week, or go shopping for healthy foods. Plan out your snacks as well as meals, so that you don't reach for sugary or fatty snacks. These diets can make you especially prone to cravings and binge eating. Focus on a balanced diet, but allow yourself an occasional treat so you don't feel deprived. Make sure you include a good source of whole grains and protein. For instance, a slice of whole grain bread covered in peanut butter and a few ounces of yogurt can give you energy for the day and balance hormone levels. Although it is not a good idea to wait for a deep dip in blood sugar before you eat, many people eat outside of mealtimes when they are anxious or stressed. Battle that idea by making a conscious effort to eat only when you need the energy. People often eat faster when they are stressed, meaning they do not enjoy it. They often want to eat again soon. Studies have found that stressed people also eat bigger portions, so curb this tendency by eating slower and chewing longer. The hormone Neuropeptide-Y causes cravings for carbohydrates, which we often call "comfort foods" because they release endorphins that make us feel happier. However, this happiness is not long lasting and will lead to wait gain. Identify your "comfort foods" and remove them from your home, office or car. Find a distraction every time you crave them. After a few weeks, you may be able to identify stress patterns that cause you to eat when stressed. Institute healthy snacks or plan exercise and distraction at the times when you are normally feeling stressed.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Use these products to conceal dark circles under your eyes, and to give you an even skin tone base to work with. Select a foundation lighter than your skin tone. Cover the area around your eyes with eye primer to keep your makeup in place and make the appearance more durable. Tap it on all the way up to your eyebrows, but not on top of them. Brush on eyeshadow around your eyes. While you may use any color, softer, lighter shades are recommended to accentuate the cute appearance of most female anime eyes. If you decide to use pale eyeshadow, blend in a tinge of brown over it to make it stand apart from the white eyeliner you'll be applying later. For a glittery effect, add eye shimmer powder around the inner corners of your eyes. This step can be skipped if you dislike the flashy effect, or if you do not have this product. Use white or pale eyeliner to draw a V shape through the tear duct area of your eyes, at the inner corner. Extend this outline slightly onto the waterline of each eye, but not more than 1/3 of the way across your eyelid. Paler outlines create the illusion of a larger object, and focusing on the inner corner makes your eyes appear closer together.  The waterline of an eyelid is the hairless area that touches the other eyelid when you close your eyes. Some makeup brands make "Big Eye" eyeliner products specifically for this purpose. You may use an eyeliner pencil or liquid eyeliner. Apply a black or very dark eyeliner to the top and bottom water lines of your eye, to make your eye more dramatic. Avoid the area with white eyeliner, or carefully outline the white area. On the outer eye corner, extend the eyeliner past the waterline by 1–2 centimeters (0.4–0.8 inches) to make your eye appear slightly larger. Optionally, create a small wing at the corner. Winged eyes look even larger and more dramatic, but large wings can result in a heavy, partially closed look that doesn't match most anime styles.  You might achieve a more natural effect by closing your eyes and using the natural crease to...

Use thin rice or wheat-straw paper in a standard or king size. Plan to tear your paper down to size—wide and square is a solid, versatile starting shape. Buy papers online, in convenience stores, at marijuana dispensaries, and at tobacco shops.  Look for papers that burn slowly and evenly. Look for papers that contain few chemical additives, as some chemicals burn with a bad flavor. Consider brands like RAW natural hemp rolling papers and Zig-Zags. If you plan to carry your papers around with you, get a rolling paper protector. Put your rolling papers into this metal case to prevent them from bending and tearing. Improvise a case from an empty mint or gum tin. Carry spare paper. Gummed strips torn from a spare paper are great for mending tears, leaks, and gaps. You can visit a local tobacconist for a wide range of options, or you can find a bag of basic rolling tobacco in many liquor stores and grocery stores. Look for tobacco that contains few chemical additives. You can buy plain tobacco or flavored tobacco, depending on your taste.  Consider common, generally affordable brands like Bali Shag and American Spirit. Consider rolling clove cigarettes. All you need to do is mix shredded cloves with your tobacco. Clove cigarettes usually contain a ratio of 60-70 percent tobacco to 30-40 percent clove.  Some people like to roll their cigarettes with pipe tobacco. Feel free to do this, but keep in mind that pipe tobacco is usually longer and wetter than cigarette-rolling tobacco. Thus, it may pack too densely, and it may not burn as well in a cigarette. If you want to use pipe tobacco, try to cut it more finely and dry it out before rolling. Hold the paper in the crease with your index finger of the same hand. Use the other hand to adjust the paper into a creased, open chute. Hold it steady so you don't spill any tobacco. The index finger in the crease serves to stabilize the paper as you add tobacco, and it will also keep tobacco from spilling out the end. This end will become the tip of the cigarette—the part...

Use tin snips or shop scissors to make a smooth horizontal cut about 1/3 of the way up from its base and around the can’s circumference. Fold the rim on each piece of the can in on itself to eliminate its sharp edges. Take care not to cut yourself as you do so. Most soda cans have a circular base that curves into the interior of the can. Push this out by flattening it with your fingers or using the bottom of a small glass or jar to smooth it. You can use a paper punch for this, or you can make the holes with a nail and hammer. You will need a hole slightly larger than 1⁄8 inch (3.2 mm) in diameter. Crumple foil and place it under and around the candle to hold it in place. Tea light candles come in small tins, so the wax should not melt and spill into your aluminum can. The 1⁄8 inch (3.2 mm) tubing should bend easily around the pencil. You will need enough coiled tubing to stretch across the top of the can, plus about an extra 2 inches (5.1 cm) of straight tubing on each side. Center the coil over the wick of the candle. Try to have about the same length of straight tubing sticking out of each side of the can. Bend the straight sections of the tubing so that they go in opposite directions on each side of the can. Then, bend them again so that they reach below the base of the can. When you're done, you should have a coiled section of tubing in the middle over your candle that stretches downward into two opposite-facing "jets" on either side of the can. Your "boat" should float comfortably. If the tubing ends don't quite sit below the waterline, try weighing the can down slightly, but be careful not to sink it. The easiest way to do this is to place one end in the bowl of water and suck through the other like a straw. Alternately, you can hold your finger over one end and hold the open end under a running faucet. Over time, the water in the tubing will heat up and begin to boil. As it evaporates into steam, it will shoot out of the "jets" of the tubing, causing the entire can to spin in the bowl.

Use two fingers to hold the top of the loop. With your remaining fingers, tighten the two sides of the knot by pulling on the loop and the two sides of the fishing line. Tightening the dropper loop needs to be done in steps, so that you don’t distort the knot’s shape. A dropper loop will not tighten completely unless it’s wet. This will help the threads of the fishing line grip one another better. If you’re by a river or lake, you can dip the knot under the water for a second. Otherwise, use your mouth. Put the knotted part (not the loop) of the dropper knot into your mouth and suck on it for a second to dampen the line. As you continue to tighten the dropper knot, the two sides of the knot will slide together and meet in the middle. Tug on all of the individual portions of the line to make sure that the knot is tight. See that the looped portions of the line do not overlap; keep them separately layered as the knot tightens. If you’re struggling to tighten the knot, try this trick. Hold the loop in your mouth and one side of the line in either hand. Then slowly tug on both sides of the line, and the knot will come together.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Sujeta la parte superior del bucle y aprieta el nudo. Moja la línea. Desliza los dos bucles del nudo juntos y termina de apretar.


Use two separate brushes or clean your brushes between use to keep the two sides unmixed. Leave a gap in the middle of the two colors so you can create a smooth blend.  Try blending on a practice sheet before you work on your painting. How much paint you lay down depends on what texture you want to give the artwork. For a thicker texture, add more paint. This will be a combination of the same colors you laid down beforehand. Make the mixture as even as possible. Add the same amount of each color, and use your paintbrush to combine the colors smoothly. Fill the blank space in the middle of the two colors entirely with the mixed color. Do not begin blending the colors quite yet. Wash out your paintbrush with paint thinner first so you can create a clean blend. Pretend you are drawing a "Z." Make your paintbrush go in a zig-zag pattern between the two unblended colors and your mixed color. Then, brush up and down between the colors. Watch the color carefully as it blends into the mixture in the middle. Unlike acrylics, you have time to blend your colors evenly. Add fresh paint on top of your colors if the paint dries early. This will make the paint wet and able to blend again. When you're satisfied with your blending job, set the painting somewhere safe to dry completely. Oil paint generally takes between 3-7 days to cure completely.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Use up a piece of fabric that is left over from another sewing project. Or make a special purchase of a fabric you just happen to like a lot. Either way, covering a book with fabric is a nice way to keep the book in good condition. Fabric can also add a personal touch that makes this book unique and special to you. The fabric needs to be fairly substantial to protect the book, so avoid anything too flimsy. Also get some lightweight fusible interfacing. Fusible interfacing is used to add a rigidity or stiffness to a fabric. The interfacing gets applied to the wrong side of the fabric, or underside to help form your fabric.

TL;DR in Spanish:


Use very little water to make the paste. Start with a teaspoon. Then, mix it together with the detergent. Continue to apply water in 1/4 teaspoon increments until it forms a thick paste.  The exact amount of water to apply will vary depending on the type of the detergent. This is a good method to use if the ice cube method does not completely remove the gum residue. However, you'll need to let the gum warm back up to room temperature before trying this method though. Apply the mixture to a clean rag. Then, rub the paste on the gum area in the dryer. Continue scrubbing the gum with the paste until it is completely removed. Simply wet a clean rag and wipe down the inside of the dryer drum. Make sure to wipe down the entire drum so that all the paste is gone. You don't want the detergent to dry up and clump inside of your dryer. Don't do this with your clean clothes though. Dampen some old rags and put them in the dryer. Then, run a cycle. This will help to remove any remaining gum residue and make sure that none ends up on your clothes.
