The first task is to remove leftover meat from the turkey carcass. Cutting with a knife works to a point, but you also end up losing quite a bit of meat with this method. You’ll be able to work with much better precision by hand.  Removing the meat from a turkey is a messy job, so roll up your sleeves. You’ll also want to wear an apron or to change out of nice clothes. The job doesn’t take long but is well worth the effort. Depending on the size of your bird, you’ll end up with enough leftover meat to last at least for several days. Oftentimes, you can fill up one or two large containers. Removing leftovers from a turkey carcass is largely a matter of sorting. You will want to find the edible pieces of meat while getting rid of any inedible pieces, like bones, cartilage, and fat. When you’re done, the bird should be little more than a bare ribcage.  While some pieces are easy, like stripping drumsticks for meat, there are less obvious spots on the bird with good meat. Look closely and work systematically. Make sure to strip the turkey breast of all its white meat. The wings may look small, but they also contain some edible meat. Once you’ve picked the front of the turkey clean, turn it over and begin to work over the backside. The areas near the thighs and backside have a lot of delicious dark meat, once you strip away the layer of skin and fat. Break open the ribcage. There is sometimes salvageable meat inside. In some families, the neck bone is a prized piece of the turkey and gets eaten fast. If your family is not so fond of it, however, know that the neck bone has a bit of meat on it. Using your fingers, you can scrape the meat off. Take all of the meat that you’ve removed and place it inside a plastic tupperware container. Then, be sure to store it inside of a refrigerator or other cool place. Try to finish the job within two hours after the meal in order to minimize the growth of bacteria. Leftover turkey should keep for between 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. If you don’t plan to eat the leftovers...

The first thing that you need to decide is who the child will live with and how often the other parent will visit the child. Depending on your individual circumstances, you may decide on joint custody, or you may decide that it is best for the child to live primarily with one parent.  If you have a baby, try to arrange the schedule so that both parents have the opportunity to participate in the day-to-day care of the baby, as this is important for bonding. If your child is older, the school schedule may influence your visitation schedule. In addition to establishing a regular schedule, talk about what will happen if one parent decides to move. You may want to make some special adjustments to your visitation schedule to accommodate for holidays and vacations. For example, if Father's Day falls on a day when the child would normally be with the mother, you may want to make a special exception for that day.  If you live close to each other, you may be able to split holidays with your child's other parent. For example, you may have the child for Christmas morning and your co-parent may have the child for Christmas evening. Be sure to consider vacation plans as well. For example, if you plan on taking a two-week vacation with your child over the summer, decide if your co-parent will be allowed to do the same. Be sure to coordinate vacations with your co-parent to avoid scheduling conflicts. You may also want to plan for birthday parties. Decide if you will have separate parties or if you will have one party to which both sides of the family will be invited. In addition to holidays and vacations, there may be other things that pop up that will necessitate an adjustment to the visitation schedule. While it's impossible to plan for everything, having a basic idea of how you will handle special circumstances will help you avoid conflicts with your co-parent when they do come up.  Think about how you will adjust the schedule if the child is sick during a visitation time. Decide how you will deal with it if something...

The first thing to do when you are deciding how to deal with a stain is to work out what caused it. The principal thing to determine is whether it is an oily, or a non-oily stain. It’s important to figure this out because it influences what you’re first step will be.  The majority of chemical stain removers are designed to work on all kinds of stains. Finding out if it is an oily or non-oily stain is mainly to direct your immediate response. Tips for which home made stain removers work best for specific stains are highlighted in the third method. If the stain is oily, avoid the obvious temptation to rinse it under cold water straight away. Oil repels water, so any water than comes into contact with the stain could contribute to it setting more strongly. Instead, dab it with a dry paper towel. Oily stains have a variety of sources, but most commonly include:  Grease stains. Mascara. Lipstick. Foods which are rich in oil or butter. Once you have applied the stain remover, you simply put it into your washing machine and wash it as normal. Be sure to read the instructions carefully before you do this to check if the product you have recommends a particular temperature.

The first thing you have to do is to come up with an idea that will intrigue and excite people. You may have to start writing before you find your idea -- you may even write three hundred pages before you realize what your book is really about. Still, start with a general premise -- the story of a girl growing up in Ukraine during the Bolshevik revolution, a work of non-fiction about the growing importance of charter schools in America -- and see where you can take it.  You may want to complete the whole book before you start thinking about how marketable your idea is. Still, it can help you to research the market on your topic before you begin. You may find that there is a book on your exact topic already out there and that you may have to tweak your idea a bit. Though genre-bending books are getting more and more popular -- such as the novels of Margaret Atwood, which blend literary fiction with science fiction, it can help you to work within a genre that helps you communicate your ideas. Once you know what your genre really is, you should be aware of all of the conventions within that genre, and you can start thinking about ways you want to turn those conventions on their head, or if you want to stick to its rules. Here are some popular genres you should consider:   Non-fiction Science fiction  Flash fiction  Action stories Horror Mystery Romance Adventure  Fantasy Political fiction 55 fiction Young Adult Fiction Middle Grade Fiction This may be something you do as you go along, or you can have some of the basics figured out before you write a word. Here are some of the points you will have to consider as you write your book:   Who: The main and/or Supporting character(s), The antagonist. Point of view: Will your book be written in first, second, or third person? Where: The location and time-era of your work, where they will travel over the course of the piece. What: The main idea or plot. Why: What the character will/hopes to accomplish. How: The methods they use to accomplish it. In her classic book...

The first thing you have to do to try to get this guy to like you is to establish contact with him.  if you become friends you have a higher chance to be his girlfriend. Ask him for help on your homework or a work item, advice on something, or to borrow something. Just come up with a good way to make contact. Whatever the reason, go up and talk to him!  Use this initial interaction to start getting to know him and becoming friends. Are you both taking the same history class? Do you work in the same office? Find ways to talk to him, ask him questions, and get to know him. Be sure when you ask him for something to make it something where he will be helping you, but also something he won't have to go out of his way to do. If it's a major inconvenience for him, he may say no. As you get to know him, let him do the talking. A lot of girls can dominate the conversation, so instead of doing that, let him do the talking. Show him how much you enjoy listening to him. Build and foster the platonic aspects of the relationship.  Ask him questions about himself. This serves two purposes: you are able to find out more about him while remaining interested in him. Paying attention to him helps fuel his ego by putting him at the center of attention. This can help him start to view you as someone he wants to be around. As your friendship develops, be there for him. This means listening and sympathizing when he gets a bad grade on a paper, a bad evaluation at work, or has a bad day. Be ready to listen to him talk about all his problems, especially relationship problems. Let him know you are there to listen to him anytime he needs it. Show him you are dependable and someone he can rely on. As you build your relationship, move from light conversations to more serious topics. Show him how smart you are through these conversations. Men are attracted to women who are intelligent and have something worthwhile to say.  Try talking about books. This is a good, neutral way to get into deep conversations.

The first thing you need to do is figure out how much it would cost to pay off the car loan. The easiest way to do that is to call the car company to ask for the payoff amount. That's how much you have left to pay on the loan, plus any fees for paying it off early. It's also essential to know what your car is worth on the market. Look up the fair market value of your car. You can find this information through places like Edmunds.com or Kelly Blue Book, both of which are available online. You'll need information like your car's make and model, year, and condition to figure out the value. Another term for this situation is being "upside-down" on your loan. Basically, it means you owe more on the car than it's worth. To figure out if you're in this situation, subtract what you owe from what the car is worth. If it's a negative number, you have negative equity.  For instance, if you owe $10,000 and the car is only worth $9,000, you'd subtract $10,000 from $9,000 ($9,000-$10,000), meaning your "equity" is -$1,000. That's negative equity. On the other hand, if you owe $8,000 and the car is worth $12,000, you'd subtract $8,000 from $12,000 ($12,000-$8,000), meaning you have $4,000 worth of equity in the car. Ideally, you want to sell your car for enough to cover the whole loan. However, if it's not valued for that much, you likely won't be able to get that much. Try to set it at or near the fair market value.

The first thing you need to do when you ask forgiveness of someone is to express remorse for your actions. In other words, you need to make it clear that you feel sorry about what you have done. This can be accomplished easily if you start out by saying, “I'm sorry,” or “I apologize.” Strengthen your statement of remorse by saying exactly what you are sorry about. For example, “I am sorry for making a scene at your party.” Or, “I apologize for snapping at you and being so short with you yesterday.” It is important to reveal the motivation behind your actions, but you have to be careful not to use your motivation as an excuse. Simply tell the person what caused you to do or say the things that you did. Keep this portion of the apology short and make it clear that you are not trying to use it as an excuse for your actions. For example, “I made a scene because I was feeling left out and wanted more attention, but that's no excuse for my behavior.” Or, “I acted that way because I did not sleep well the night before and I had a lot of things on my mind, but that is not your fault and it was wrong for me to take it out on you.” In addition to making sure that the person knows you are accepting responsibility for your actions, you should also make it clear that you understand how you made them feel. Tell the person how you imagine or know that you made them feel. For example, “By making a scene at your party I know that I embarrassed you in front of your new friends from work.” Or, “By acting that way towards you, I probably made you feel unappreciated.” Once you have addressed what you did, why you did it, and why it was wrong, you need to make things right. In other words, you need to tell the person what you intend to do in the future to prevent another similar situation. This may be accomplished by providing a plan for future scenarios or by saying how you will respond differently in the future. For example, “In the future, I will talk to someone about how I am feeling rather than acting out.” Or, “The next time...

The first thing you should know about  a Capricorn guy is that he is bound to be very driven. The best places to meet your perfect Capricorn guy include work functions, charity events, or career-boosting functions. Capricorn guys are dedicated to getting to the top of their industries, so putting on your game face and excelling at a career function is sure to help you capture your Capricorn’s eye. Capricorn men are pretty reserved. Because of this, they tend to be attractive towards partners who dress in a sophisticated but more conservative manner. Breaking out your flashing stilettos and cut-out dress is probably not the best way to attract your man. Go for a classy look with a touch of femininity. Capricorn guys are attracted to intellect above anything else. Regardless of the gorgeous outfit you’re wearing or your ridiculously gorgeous face, if you come across as ditzy or rather air-headed, your Capricorn may lose interest. Instead, show off your beautiful brain by engaging him in some stellar conversation. However, keep your cool and remain composed--don’t guffaw if he makes a joke. Don’t be afraid to show off that witty humor either--Capricorns can often have a humorous streak that runs on the sarcastic side. Capricorns have a hard time opening up to others. Before he lets you in, he will have to know that he can trust you. Be honest and open with him but expect that it will take him a bit longer to share his inner workings with you. Your Capricorn guy will take his time, but with help from you--showing you are supportive, displaying ways you are trustworthy--he will eventually let you into his heart. Be cautious that you do not betray your Capricorn’s trust, even if unintentionally. Once a Capricorn guy feels betrayed, he generally is very slow to let you back in--if he does at all. One thing a Capricorn guy will not participate in is a relationship mind game. If you are into him, make it clear and then wait for him to meet you halfway. Do not try to make him jealous by parading another guy around in...

The first trimester is a delicate time when the risk of miscarriage is highest, so it’s important to avoid anything that might put a strain on the uterine ligaments. It’s best to wait until the start of the second trimester, or her 13th week of pregnancy, just to be sure.  In addition, a massage may make your wife feel dizzy and ill, especially if she’s struggling with morning sickness. Many professional massage therapists will not offer prenatal massages during the first trimester. Even if you find someone who does offer it,  it's still a good idea to wait until after the first trimester, just to be on the safe side. Even after you enter the second trimester, it’s a good idea to check with your wife’s doctor before you give her a massage. This is especially important if your wife has any conditions that might complicate her pregnancy, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, abdominal pain, or bleeding. Your doctor can tell you whether it will be safe to proceed. Other conditions where massage might not be a good idea might include if your wife has a fever, virus, or severe morning sickness. In addition to being uncomfortable for your wife and baby, a massage right on the belly could put pressure on your wife’s uterine ligaments. This can lead to pregnancy complications that could include miscarriage, so it’s better to avoid it entirely. Of course, it’s perfectly fine to rub your wife’s belly. Just keep your hands flat and use very light pressure. This can be a great way to feel your baby moving around, especially after week 24! Deep tissue massage can be too intense and uncomfortable during pregnancy, so try to keep your hands flat and your motions smooth and firm. In addition, a strenuous massage may dislodge a blood clot, which pregnant women are especially at risk for.  For instance, instead of squeezing your wife’s legs, where blood clots are especially a concern, you could run the heel of your hand up and down her leg muscles. Throughout the massage, ask your wife if there are any areas where she’d like...

The first-line pain treatment for ovarian cyst(s) are NSAID pain medications. These can be obtained over-the-counter  at your local pharmacy or drugstore. They can also be received in stronger formulations by asking your doctor for a prescription, if the over-the-counter (OTC) versions are insufficient to relieve your pain.  An example of an NSAID medication is ibuprofen (Advil, or Motrin). The typical dose is 400 – 600mg every four to six hours as needed. Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle. Another NSAID option is naproxen (Aleve). This is available over-the-counter, or as a stronger version that is available via a prescription from your physician. In some severe cases, a narcotic pain-killer is necessary. The first-line narcotic used in the treatment of ovarian cyst pain is morphine, an opiate.  Narcotics are the last option when it comes to pain relief. In light of the national epidemic of narcotic abuse/misuse in the United States, opiate medication should be only taken in an emergency room setting or for the shortest possible amount of time. Additionally, if you have a substance abuse history and previous addiction to illicit or prescription medication, the decision to utilize this should be weighed against the risks of harm and/or relapse. Morphine for ovarian cyst pain is most often given via an IV, and in a hospital setting. This is because, to warrant this strength of medication, the pain is usually very severe, resulting in a visit to the Emergency Room. Initially, a small dose of Morphine is administered via IV; the dose is increased incrementally until the pain gets under control. Morphine is also a very safe option within the hospital setting. It can readily be reversed with Naloxone should any adverse reactions occur. If you are experiencing abdominal or pelvic pain, it is important to see your doctor and to receive a physical examination, an ultrasound, and any other necessary tests to confirm that the source of your pain is indeed an ovarian cyst(s). Many other conditions may cause...

The flap of shell on the underside of a crab, called the abdomen or apron, must be removed. You can simply use your fingers to do this. It should come off easily, especially after cleaning and boiling. Stick your thumb in the hole just to left of where you removed the abdomen. Lift up firmly. The outer shell should come off with some guts attached. You will see a pair of leaf-like, spongy gills on either side of the crab. These should be removed and discarded. Some greenish-brown guts will be attached to the crab's body. Rinse them out in your sink, making sure all of the guts are thoroughly removed as they are not suitable for consumption. The mandibles are the mouth parts attached to the front of the crab. Simply break them off and then discard. Turn the crab upside down and grip it on either side. Place your thumbs under the mid-line of the back, where the shell used to be. Push up with your thumbs and down with your hands. The crab should crack in half easily. Just to make sure any lingering guts and shell bits are removed, give the crab a good final rinse in the sink.

The flare adds a little weight and structure to your leg and disguises a slim calf. Make sure the pants are fitted at the thigh--if they're loose all over, they'll overwhelm your figure and can actually emphasize your thinness. A straight-legged or cigarette pant that isn't skin-tight around your calf can create the illusion of a shapelier leg.  Avoid leggings, jeggings, and super-skinny pants, as they are meant to make the leg appear slimmer.  If you just can't resist leggings, try layering with leg warmers or tall, thick socks. These will add a little bulk to your calf. Tights or pants in lighter shades like off-white, pale blue or gray or bright colors like red or yellow will add dimension to your legs. Big, bold prints can make your leg appear wider--try florals, Fair Isle, plaids, or horizontal or diagonal stripes.  Dark colors like black and navy, or denim in dark washes, have a slimming effect and should be avoided.  Vertical or pinstripes will only make your leg look slimmer, so stick to the patterns that make your legs look shapely. Shorts with wide legs or legs that billow out can make your legs look tiny--all the negative space can highlight how your legs are not filling out your shorts. The middle of your thigh is probably the thickest part of your leg, and you can create the illusion that your thighs are just as thick all the way up. Shorter shorts will usually hit your leg right where you want, at the widest part of the thigh. These lengths are going to hit your leg at its shapeliest points (the widest part of your calf muscle and the widest part of your thigh). When your hem is at the widest part of your leg, it gives the impression that the rest of your leg will continue to fill out underneath the skirt.  Consider pairing shorter skirts with tall boots. This way, you only reveal the wider section of your leg. The straight lines of an A-line skirt can accentuate any curves in your legs. Just try not to choose one that flares out too much, or your legs can look lost in the middle of all that...

The forex market is a global exchange of currencies and currency-backed financial instruments (contracts to buy or sell currencies at a later date). Participants include everyone from the largest banks and financial institutions to individual investors. Currencies are traded directly for other currencies in the market. As a result, currencies are priced in terms of other currencies, like Euros per US Dollar or Japanese Yen per British Pound Sterling. By effectively seeking price differences and expected increases or decreases in value, participants can earn (sometimes large) returns on investment by trading currencies. In the forex market, prices are quoted in terms of other currencies. This is because there is no measure of value that is not another currency. However, the US Dollar is used as a base currency for determining the values of other currencies.  For example, the price of the Euro (EUR) is quoted as (price quote number) USD/EUR. Currency quotes are listed to four decimal places. Currency quotes are simple to understand once you know how. For example, the Yen to US would be quoted as 0.0087 JPY/USD. You should understand this as "you need to spend 0.0087 US Dollars to buy one Japanese Yen." Arbitrage, put simply, is the exploitation of price differences between markets. Traders can purchase a financial instrument in one market with the hope of selling it for more in another. Within the forex market, arbitrage is used to profit from differences in the quoted prices of currencies. However, these differences do not occur between two currencies alone, so the trader must use "triangular arbitrage," which incorporates three different trades, to profit from differences in prices.  For example, imagine that you notice the following quoted prices: 20.00 USD/MXN, 0.2000 MXN/BRL, and 0.1500 BRL/USD (between the US Dollar, Mexican Peso, and Brazilian Real). You wonder if there is an arbitrage opportunity here so you start with a theoretical value of $10,000. With your $10,000, you could buy 200,00 Pesos...

The formula for calculating return on invested capital is ROIC = (Net Income - Dividends) / Total Capital. As you can see you're going to need three pieces of information, each of which comes from a different financial statement.  The net income is found on the company's income statement. The dividend payout is obtained from the company's cash flow statement. The total capital is calculated from the company's balance sheet. This is typically located on the bottom line. The income statement shown is taken from a prominent public company. It shows that the company's net income for the year ending Dec 31, 2009 was $11,025,000,000. (Note that all numbers in the statement are in thousands.) Companies don't need to issue dividends, but many of them do. The dividend distribution amount is found on the company's cash flow statement, in the section titled "Cash From (Used By) Financing Activities" (or words to that effect).  Dividends are a portion of a company's earnings that corporations pay their shareholders. They're almost always paid in cash, but they can also be paid in stock or other properties.  Companies can also choose to retain earnings (to invest back into the company), rather than paying dividends to shareholders. You'll get this information from the balance sheet. Add up debt and total shareholder equity (which includes preferred stocks, common stocks, capital surplus and retained earnings). The balance sheet for the company at the beginning of 2009 is shown in the middle column. Using the figures from the balance sheet at Dec 31, 2008, total capital is $330,067,000,000 (long-term debt) + $104,665,000,000 (total shareholder equity) = $434,732,000,000. Also note that only long-term debt is included, as short-term debt by definition is due within one year, so that the company does not have use of the money for the entire year in which earnings are made. This gives you the return on capital. In this example, the return on capital is $11,025,000,000/$434,732,000,000 = 0.025, or 2.5%. This means that the...

The formula for inflation is a ratio of the later CPI minus the earlier CPI over the earlier CPI. After you divide the difference between the 2 CPIs by the earlier CPI, multiply the result by 100 to find the rate of inflation. The basic formula (without specific variables) looks like this: LaterCPI−EarlierCPIEarlierCPI∗100{\displaystyle {\frac {LaterCPI-EarlierCPI}{EarlierCPI}}*100} The formula is a bit easier to understand if you go through it step by step. Start by finding the difference between the earlier CPI and the later CPI. For example, suppose you're using the Australian CPI and want to measure the rate of inflation between the 4th quarter of 2010 and the 4th quarter of 2018. The index number for 2010 is 96.9 and the index number for 2018 is 114.1. Therefore, you would subtract 96.9 (the earlier CPI) from 114.1 (the later CPI) to get 17.2. Now that you have a number for the top of your ratio, all you have to do is divide to get a decimal number. In the next step, you'll turn this decimal number into a percentage. To continue the example, you subtracted 96.9 from 114.1 to get 17.2. If you divide 17.2 by the earlier CPI of 96.9, you get 0.1775 (rounded). Inflation is expressed as a percentage, which gives you a measure of how rapidly prices increased during that period of time. Multiplying the decimal by 100 will get you that percentage. Continuing with the same example, if you multiply 0.1775 by 100, you get 17.75%. Therefore, the rate of inflation in Australia from 2010 to 2018 was 17.75%.

The formula for wind load is F = A x P x Cd x Kz x Gh, where A is the projected area, P is wind pressure, Cd is the drag coefficient, Kz is the exposure coefficient, and Gh is the gust response factor. This formula takes a few more parameters into account for wind load. This formula is generally used to calculate wind load on antennas. In order to use an equation properly, you must first understand what each variable stands for and what its associated units are.   A, P, and Cd are the same variables used in the generic equation.  Kz is the exposure coefficient and it is calculated by taking into account the height from the ground to the midpoint of the object. The units of Kz are feet.  Gh is the gust response factor and it is calculated by taking into account the entire height of the object. The units of Gh are 1/feet or ft-1. The projected area of your object is dependent upon its shape and size. If the wind is hitting a flat wall, the projected area is easier to calculate than if the object is rounded. Projected area will be an approximation of the area that the wind comes in contact with. There is no one formula for calculating projected area, but you can estimate it with some basic calculations. Units for area are ft2.  For a flat wall, use the formula Area = length x width, measuring the length and width of the wall where the wind is hitting it. For a tube or column, you can also approximate the area using length and width. In this case, the width will be the diameter of the tube or column. Wind pressure is given by the equation P = 0.00256 x V2, where V is the speed of the wind in miles per hour (mph). The unit for wind pressure is pounds per square foot (psf).  For example, if the wind speed is 70 mph, the wind pressure is 0.00256 x 702 = 12.5 psf. An alternative to calculating wind pressure at a particular wind speed is to use the standard for various wind zones. For example, according to the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) most of the U.S. is in Zone A with 86.6 mph wind, but coastal areas...

The formula is C=2πr{\displaystyle C=2\pi r}, where C{\displaystyle C} equals the circle’s circumference, and r{\displaystyle r} equals its radius. The symbol π{\displaystyle \pi } ("pi") is a special number, roughly equal to 3.14. You can either use that estimate (3.14) in calculations, or use the π{\displaystyle \pi } symbol on a calculator. Use algebra to change the circumference formula until r (radius) is alone on one side of the equation: Whenever a math problem tells you the circumference C of a circle, you can use this equation to find the radius r. Replace C in the equation with the circumference of the circle in your problem: Enter your result in a calculator with the π{\displaystyle \pi } button and round the result. If you don't have a calculator, calculate it by hand, using 3.14 as a close estimate for π{\displaystyle \pi }.

The formula is n!=n×(n−1)!{\displaystyle n!=n\times (n-1)!}. This means that a smaller factorial is a factor of a larger factorial. For example, 4!=4×(4−1)!=4×3!{\displaystyle 4!=4\times (4-1)!=4\times 3!}. When you are multiplying two factorials, the largest common factorial is the smaller of the two factorials. For example, if you are calculating 5!×7!{\displaystyle 5!\times 7!}, you can factor out 5!{\displaystyle 5!} from 7!{\displaystyle 7!}:5!×5!(7×6){\displaystyle 5!\times 5!(7\times 6)} Then, calculate the factorial and square its product. For example, 5!×5!(7×6){\displaystyle 5!\times 5!(7\times 6)}=7×6×(5!)2{\displaystyle =7\times 6\times (5!)^{2}}=42×(120)2{\displaystyle =42\times (120)^{2}} The result will be the product of the two original factorials. For example: 42×(120)2{\displaystyle 42\times (120)^{2}}=42×14,400{\displaystyle =42\times 14,400}=604,800{\displaystyle =604,800}

The formula is speed=distancetime{\displaystyle {\text{speed}}={\frac {\text{distance}}{\text{time}}}}. This should be presented to you in the form of a coordinate plane, and the graph should have at least one line plotted. The line represents the distance and time traveled by a single person or object. If the graph has multiple lines, each line represents a different person or object. The first endpoint of the line signifies when the person or object started moving. The second endpoint of the line signifies when the person or object stopped moving. The x-axis is the horizontal axis, and it indicates the time spent travelling. The y-axis is the vertical axis, and it indicates the distance traveled. If the units of the graph are not listed in terms of meters per second, you will need to  convert the units after you find the speed.  The steeper the line on a distance-time graph, the faster the speed.  A horizontal line indicates that there was no change in distance. This would indicate a speed of 0 meters per second. To calculate the distance, find the appropriate line on the graph and note the point where the line ends. Find the y-coordinate of this point by moving your finger horizontally to the y-axis. This will show you the distance travelled. If the line does not start at the (0, 0) point, you need to find the distance by subtracting the y-values of the two endpoints of the line. For example, if the line showing the distance and time traveled by Henry begins at (0, 0) and ends at the point (1,800, 48,000), the number of meters traveled is 48,000. To calculate the time, go back to the point where the line ends. Find the x-coordinate of this point by moving your finger vertically to the x-axis. This will show you the time spent traveling. For example, if the line showing the distance and time traveled by Henry ends at the point (1,800, 48,000), the number of seconds traveled is 1,800. Plug the two values into the formula and divide. This will give you the speed. If the units on the graph were listed in units...

The foundation of every good relationship is solid communication. Whether you are communicating via e-mail, phone, or face to face, you want to make sure that you communicate clearly and effectively with your colleagues. Good relationships rely on open, honest communication.  Choose your words carefully. Make sure that you clearly articulate your points and state exactly what you mean. This will help avoid confusion about goals or expectations. Listen actively. Communication includes listening. Demonstrate to your co-workers that you are paying attention by asking follow up questions and paraphrasing some of their statements. It is important to remember that everyone is different. Each person that you work with brings a different attribute to your workplace. While they might not be the type of person you are used to, try to focus on their positive characteristics. For example, you might not be used to working with members of a creative team. Creatives tend to work differently from others, which sometimes means they are not as structured. Instead of being irritated when someone does not immediately reply to your e-mail, remember that they are bringing something else to the team. Mutual respect means that you exhibit respect for your colleagues and they reciprocate. Find ways to show that you truly value your colleagues contribution to your workplace. Let them know that you consider them (and their work) important. One way to demonstrate respect is to offer positive affirmations. For example, you could say, "Sally, I really admire the way you handled yourself with that difficult client. Not everyone can remain so calm under pressure." Being mindful means practicing a deeper level of awareness. Pay careful attention to your words and your actions. If you act or speak without thinking, you might be damaging work relationships without even realizing it. Try thinking about your words before you actually say them.  Take a 30 second break each hour. You can do this right at your desk. Take some time to reflect on how...

The frame (also called the form) holds the concrete. Cut the 2x4 to the length so that the inside dimensions are equal to the patio area. The form will be removed after the patio is finished, so you want to make sure you don't count the edge of the frame into your dimensions; if you do this, the patio will be smaller than you originally intended. When you insert the board into your patio site, they should be aligned directly underneath the string. Remember, the 2x4s are acting as the outer walls of your patio, so make sure you place them in the correct space. The stakes are the form's support so it doesn't bend against the concrete. Make sure the stakes, nails, and forms are sturdy. Use nails that are long and strong enough.  You can also use screws instead of nails. This requires a screwdriver. While you are nailing each four forms to the stakes, make sure the forms are level. Use the string or a level to ensure the forms are level. If the forms are not level, you might end up with uneven concrete. The stakes should be just below the edge of the forms. They should not be visible above the concrete. If pouring concrete next to a house, other slab of concrete, or other structure, place an isolation joint between the concrete and the existing surface. An isolation joint allows the concrete to move and minimizes cracking. Isolation joints are usually made by adhering asphalt-impregnated fiber sheeting or Iso-strip-off to the wall or surface your concrete will touch. The adhering asphalt-impregnated fiber sheeting and Iso-strip-off can be found at most home improvement stores. This assures that the concrete won't adhere to your boards so they can be removed after the concrete has finished setting.

The free version of FRAPS only creates screenshots in BMP format. This creates a perfect copy of the screen image, but results in a very large file size. You'll want to convert the files to a PNG or JPG if you plan on uploading or sharing them. While it's simple enough to do one or two conversions using Paint, if you have lots of screenshots you'll want a tool that will let you convert them all at once. IrfanView is a free image viewer that allows you to convert all of your screenshots at once in a batch. You can download it from irfanview.com. Click "File" and select "Batch Conversion/Rename". This will open a new window. Click the drop-down menu and select the format that you want to use. PNG and JPG are the most common formats for screenshots. Click the Options button to the right of the "Output format" menu to adjust your quality settings. Most users can leave these at their defaults, but you can increase or decrease the quality of the finished files. This will directly affect the size of the files. Use the frame on the right to navigate to your screenshots folder. Select the files that you want to convert, or click Add all to add every file in the folder. You can choose where you want the converted files to appear. Click Use current directory to put the converted files in the original screenshots' directory. Click Start Batch to begin converting the files. The time the conversion takes depends on the number of files you are converting and your quality settings.

The frequency with which you need to change it is patient-specific and may depend on which type of bag you are using. For people with one-piece pouches, the entire colostomy bag will need to be changed each time; on the other hand, for people with two-piece pouches, the pouch itself can be changed as frequently as one desires, while the flange will only need to be changed every two to three days.  You should never go longer than seven days between changing of the colostomy bag and appliance. Note that this is just a guideline. Always follow the specific instructions from your doctor or nurse as to how frequently to change your colostomy bag. When being sent home, the ostomy nurse will ensure that you have supplies to bring home as well as information to receive specific supplies once you run out as well as information as to where to obtain new supplies. Many medical supply stores will deliver the colostomy supplies straight to your doorstep, making it very convenient to obtain all that you need.  After discharge you will be responsible for ordering your own supplies. Be sure that you have plenty of supplies stored, so that you will not find yourself short-handed equipment-wise when you go to change your colostomy bag. Remove your shirt to keep it from getting in your way while you are changing your colostomy bag. Before you begin, make sure all of your supplies are within easy reach. Supplies generally include:  A new pouch A clean towel Skin wipes or cleaning supplies Scissors A measuring card and pen A skin barrier such as stoma powder (optional) Adhesive material (normally stoma paste or a ring seal).

The frets are the square spaces on the neck of the guitar that are divided by small metal strips. Hold down the first fret of the top string with the tip of your index or middle finger. Your palm should be facing up and your fingers should be bent as you hold down the fret. Your fingers should be pressing down the strings in the middle of the fret, not on the metal strip. Hold the pick between your index finger and thumb in your right hand. Move the pick over the top string to make a sound.  If the string sounds muted or unclear, press down harder on the fret with your left hand. Continue strumming the top string until the note sounds clear. A metronome may help you stay on beat. Move your hand from the first fret to the second fret. Try strumming and making a clear sound. Then, alternate playing the first and second fret. Try to stay on a specific beat and continue switching back and forth between the first and second fret as you strum. Once you feel comfortable alternating between frets, you can experiment with strumming different notes on the neck of the guitar. As you get used to playing single notes, you’ll build up the muscle memory that will help you locate specific frets without looking at the guitar. Pluck the 5th string, or the 2nd string from the top string, without holding any frets to play an A note. If you want to play a B note, hold down the second fret on the 5th string. You can practice alternating between the 5th and 6th string to see how it sounds. Strum the 4th string in the open position, or without holding down any frets, to play D note. If you want to play an E, hold down the second fret on the string. This note is the same note as the top string when played open but at a higher octave, or tone. You can play other notes down the neck on the 4th string. The 3rd string, or G string, is the third string from the bottom or 4th string from the top. Hold down the 2nd fret to play an A and then 4th fret to play a B. Alternate between the two notes to create a basic beat. Then, play the 5th...

The fumes from bleach are extremely strong and they can be dangerous, so make sure you set up your project in an area with plenty of fresh air. If you can, try to work outside. If that’s not an option, choose a large room and open a window or turn on a fan. Bleach is a strong chemical. Even when it’s diluted it can cause chemical burns on your skin. Be sure to wear heavy rubber gloves (like the kind used for cleaning) to protect your skin while you’re tie dyeing your clothes with bleach. You can get these wherever cleaning supplies are sold. Black is the best color for tie dyeing with bleach because you will get the best contrast, but you can use any color as long as it’s dark enough to produce an effect. Experiment with different colors to find what you like! Bleach won’t affect synthetic materials like polyester because they are designed to be colorfast. In addition, bleach can damage more delicate fabrics such as silk. If you’re working inside, you’ll need to protect your work surface from bleach, so cover it with a drop cloth or old towels that can get messed up. If you’re using an absorbent material like a towel, be sure it doesn’t get soaked or the bleach will seep through and ruin whatever’s beneath it. If you’re working outside, you’ll want to have something laid on the ground to protect your garment from getting dirty during the tie dyeing process.

The fur on the outside your Schnauzer's ears will grow long, just like his other body fur. Brush the fur on the ears. Using scissors, cut the excessive fur growth that hangs free from the ear. Do not cut the fur that grows on his ears because it keeps his ears warm and looking nice. Be very careful. The ears are sensitive and you can easily hurt them. One of the main differences between Schnauzers and other dogs is that they grow long fur on the inside of their ears. Because of this, you need to periodically pluck the hair from inside his ears. Use a pair of tweezers and grasp the fur. Gently pull the fur, making sure not to hurt him. You can leave a little bit of each piece of fur behind, so there is something to protect his ears but not enough to prevent air from getting inside to dry them out. Just pluck off the top portion of the fur where it has gotten too long. You can also use scissors to do this, but be really careful. If cut, the ear can bleed profusely. Since fur grows so readily in his ear, your Schnauzer's ears are perfect for yeast and bacteria growth. To prevent this, you should also clean your dog's ears frequently along with trimming the hair. Use a cotton ball and pour dog ear wash on it. Gently rub the cotton ball on the visible portions of your dog's ear. Then, gently use a soft cloth to dry the ears so moisture doesn't build up in the canal.  You can buy dog ear wash at your local pet store. Never use a q-tip to clean your dog's ears. It can damage his ear canal and lead to injury.

The game ending only depends on how you end the story. The puzzle-solving or actions you do during the early part won't affect the outcome of the story. Play the game until you reach the part where Viola enters the room where the witch is, and then read her diary to trigger the final part of the game. Do not forget to save the game since in this part, you will be encountering many deaths because the legless girl moves ridiculously fast.  Avoid going inside rooms, and head straight to the hallway. Do not stop until you reach the exit of the house. Once you successfully leave the house, you will be reunited with Viola's father. The good ending will then commence. Spoiler: Viola’s father will ask if Viola’s all right. Then as they are about to leave, the legless girl will appear and crawl after them. She will incoherently try to communicate, but Viola's father panics and shoots the girl twice in an effort to protect his daughter. The legless girl will die in a pool of blood and vanish. Viola and her father will then leave the forest.

The game of Snaps is a fairly simply concept that requires nothing other than at least two people, the ability to snap your fingers, and some creative thinking.  The basic idea of Snaps is to spell out individual letters of a word using either a statement or a snap of your fingers. There are at least two players in Snaps. The snapper is the person who chooses a word and then snaps out the answer. The receiver is the person who listens to the snapper and guesses the word. For consonants, you’ll say a sentence or statement in which the first word starts with the same letter that you are trying to spell out. For example, if you choose “George Washington,” your first letter is a “G.” You’ll clue the receiver into the name by starting with a sentence like “Get ready.” This lets the receiver know that the first name of the person or the clue is “G.”  For vowels, you snap your fingers- hence the name of the game. Each vowel corresponds to a specific number of snaps. "A" is one snap, "E" is two snaps, "I" is three snaps, "O" is four snaps, and "U" is five snaps. Thus, for the second letter of “George Washington,” you would give two clear snaps for an “E.”  There is no cue for a space in between words. Since the idea of Snaps is to guess the name of someone, choose one that everyone can easily guess, such as a politician or celebrity.  For example, you can use “Hillary Clinton” or “Britney Spears.” Try to avoid difficult names or names that start with difficult letters. For example, the name Xavier would be difficult to use because of the “x.” There are no words with which you could put together a cue sentence. You don’t necessarily have to give your receiver the person’s exact name. To make it a bit more difficult, you can snap your receiver a clue to the person’s name. For example, if you want the receiver to guess “George Washington” you could snap out the clue “first President.” For “Marlon Brando” you could use “the Godfather.” Once you know the name that you want to play, figure out how to spell it properly...

The gas meter is either near the garage or at the front of your house. It will either be under your house, in a cabinet, part of a multiple meter, or underground. The main gas valve is located at the gas meter. One comes into meter from the gas supplier, and the other goes from the meter into your house. The main valve is located on the pipe that comes in from the gas supplier. The main valve looks like a thick rectangular metal tab with a hole. The valve is parallel to the line when it is on and perpendicular when it is off.  On a multiple meter the valve is usually located at the top of a shared pipe. Each unit has an individual shut off valve. Make sure you know which meter is yours so you don't accidentally shut off someone else's gas supply. Check with your landlord to make sure the meter goes to your unit. Use a crescent wrench to turn it 90 degrees. There will be another metal rectangular tab that is fixed, which runs perpendicular to the gas line. When the gas is turned off, the holes on both of the tabs will line up.

The gill plate holds a fish’s gills and comprises the firm, bone-like sections on the front left and right sides of a tuna’s body. Aim the point of your gaff for just behind the gill plate. The skin here will be thick enough to not tear when gaffed, and you won’t risk damaging the tuna’s edible meat.  If you miss your target and gaff a tuna through its midsection, it will likely escape. The thin skin on the belly of a fish is weak, and will tear through if you try to lift the fish on the gaff.  Similarly, if you miss the tuna’s head and stab the gaff through its back or side, you’ll likely damage one of the tuna steaks and render it inedible. In the same motion that you gaff the fish, smoothly lift the tuna up towards the edge of the boat and over onto the deck. Lift the fish smoothly, without any jerking or twisting movements on the handle of the gaff. Do not pause between gaffing the fish and lifting it onboard. Instead, let the momentum of gaffing the fish continue as you lift the fish onboard. Think of this in terms of “follow-through,” much like when playing tennis or golf. Once you have the fish on the deck of your boat, you can remove the gaff from the tuna’s gill plate (or wherever you successfully gaffed the fish). Gaffs do not have a barb at the tip of the hook, so you should be able to slide the gaff out of the fish’s body with ease. Do not gaff a fish—tuna or otherwise—if you’re not planning to bring it back to the dock. You cannot release a gaffed fish back to the ocean, as the gaff wound will prove fatal in nearly all cases.

The glue from your patch will likely leave a residue behind. If the area where your patch was is now discolored or sticky, you will need to take further action to make your item looking clean and like new again. If you used the adhesive remover method, launder your item first. This may remove the adhesive completely on its own. Squirt or pour more adhesive remover onto the patch. Massage it in using your fingers or a clean rag. Allow it to work for approximately one minute. You can also make your own adhesive remover at home. Just mix two parts baking soda with one part coconut oil and a few drops of orange essential oil. This all natural adhesive remover works well at removing residue but not for removing the patch itself. It is a thick paste that is unable to easily soak through fabrics. Simply wash your item using whatever method you normally would. Do this as soon as possible to remove the solvent in case it may damage your item over time.  If the item is machine wash safe, go ahead and throw it into your washing machine with a normal load of laundry. Hand soak delicate items using cold or room temperature water with a small amount of detergent. If the glue seems especially stuck-on, try scrubbing it with a soft toothbrush after the adhesive remover has been worked in. Apply some liquid laundry detergent directly to the residue patch as a pre-treatment. If there is still some residue left after you've washed your item, try repeating the process with more adhesive remover. It may take a few tries to totally remove the stain. Do not place the item in the dryer until the stain has been completely removed. Doing so may set the stain and make it harder to clean. White vinegar often works to loosen glue enough for water to rinse it away.  Before soaking, first try saturating the spot with white vinegar and wash as normal. This works well for delicate items with caked-on glue from the iron method.  If spot treatment doesn't work, try soaking your item overnight. For white items, you may use undiluted vinegar. To...

The goal is to fill the entire tip of your opponents star with your pieces before they do the same to you. Because speed is important, you want to move your pieces as directly through the center of the board as possible. This obviously depends on how your opponent moves, but you don’t want to be moving your pieces off into unused portions of the board. You may think you are keeping them safe, but in reality you’re just taking them out of the game and making it more difficult for yourself. Some players utilize a stay at home strategy. This means keeping one checker in the very tip of your star so that your opponent can never completely fill up your star. Keep in mind that you will be unable to win this way, since eventually you will need to move it out in order to fill up your opponents star. Some consider this strategy unsportsmanlike. You are allowed to make as many jumps during a turn as you want. However, that's not always the best strategy.   Try to pay attention not just to your own tactics but also to what your opponent is trying to accomplish. Blocking your opponent is one of the biggest parts of Chinese checkers. Put yourself in your opponent’s shoes and imagine what the next best move would be. Now think of other possible good moves, and try to guess which one you think they will do. It might serve you well only to make a few jumps and then block your opponent from being able to move to the space that they wanted to. Constantly assess your opponent’s intentions. This strategy is more efficient than working from the back to the front. You’ll be able to fill your goal area with fewer moves given that you can continue to hop over your own pieces. If you can occupy the goal area more quickly than your opponent then you’ll be more likely to win.

The goal of an activist is not to change modern industrial society on his or her own, but to build wide grassroots support for serious reform. To begin, try sharing your stances and activities with your family and friends. Encourage them to come join you volunteering or to at least make small changes like recycling. Once you feel comfortable doing that, encourage your community to make small sacrifices to preserve the air, water, and food they depend on.  You can attend local political forums, street fairs, and similar events to reach a larger audience. Be friendly even if people seem reluctant to help. Not everyone shares your love for environmentalism. Your best bet for reaching others is to be kind and informative, while contributing your time to good causes. Environmentalists often have an appreciation for natural beauty. You can foster your own appreciation without having to stray far from your own backyard. At the park or sanctuary spot, learn about the local ecosystem. Speak with the employees and administrators to find ways to contribute.  Plenty of parks and sanctuaries are open to volunteer work or can provide jobs. You don’t have to start large. Conserving your own region is as necessary as any work done on a global scale. Even if you don’t officially volunteer or sign up for a job, you can give back. Something as simple as picking up stray plastic bags helps. Unfortunately, litter is everywhere. You can see it on roadsides, in forests, and clogging up river ways. Litter is unsightly, but it also constitutes pollution that harms wildlife.

The goal of concealer is to even out skin tone by targeting small areas, so inspect your face closely. A common problem area for a lot of people is under the eye, due to the prevalence of dark circles. Going 2 shades lighter to conceal dark areas should be the absolute maximum.  1 shade lighter is generally preferable to prevent the reverse raccoon eye look.  Concealers with yellow tones will help to diminish the look of under eye circles. Areas of redness and most other skin issues are best covered with a concealer that exactly matches your foundation/skin tone. If you have trouble matching them exactly, go for a neutral beige with faint yellow shades. These tend to look good when applied anywhere on the face.  Always test and apply concealer in natural light to get an accurate read of the shade.  Avoid flesh-toned concealers that have prominent pink, rose, peach, white, yellow, or copper shades in them. Most people tend to have a slightly darker skin tone in the summer, so you’ll likely need 2 shades of concealer – one to match your summer tone and one to match your slightly paler winter tone. In the fall and spring you can mix those to concealers together to get the perfect in-between shade. To highlight, you'll need to apply a concealer 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone to the areas of your face that naturally catch the light – the top of the cheekbones, directly beneath the arch of the brow, down the center of the nose and the Cupid’s bow. Highlighting with concealer can help you sculpt your face and give it added dimension. To contour, you'll need to apply a concealer 1-2 shades darker than your skin tone to the natural hollows of the face – right below the cheekbone, along the jawline and at the temple near the hairline.  Highlighting and contouring are currently enjoying a surge of popularity, so you'll probably see contouring kits and other special products made for this on the market.  However, all you really need to get this look are the right concealer shades. These concealers come in shades...

The goal of teaching your dog any command is to help her associate the command with the desired behavior while strengthening the connection with positive reinforcement. To teach her “no” or “leave it,” begin by showing her the behavior you want.  For example, show her a treat in your hand, and then say “no” before closing your fist around the treat. Let her sniff and lick at your hand, but don’t give her the treat. Once she stops trying and turns away, offer her plenty of praise and provide a treat from your other hand—not the enclosed one.  Use a stern voice to issue the command, but don’t yell or otherwise make your dog think you’re punishing her. Use a neutral, stern voice as opposed to the happy voice you usually use with your dog, so she doesn’t mistake the command for positive reinforcement. You can anticipate repeating this exercise ten times or even more before your dog understands that she gets the treat by leaving your closed hand alone. Stay patient with the process, and always offer plenty of praise when she eventually leaves the closed hand alone (shows the desired behavior). Space the trials out as well to stop both of you from getting frustrated. Try a few times a day over the course of several days. Your dog will understand body language just as much as a command. Stand tall and issue the command in an authoritative voice, but don’t try to scare your dog. You want her to want to understand and obey the command instead of simply frightening her. You don’t just want your dog to leave the object alone, but you want her to turn her attention to you when you issue the command. This will allow you to tell her “no” to stop a behavior but then also “come” in case the object you want her to leave is dangerous, for instance. Once she understands that “no” means to leave the object alone, you can add more complexity to the command to turn her attention to you.  Instead of immediately offering praise when she turns away from your enclosed fist, don’t say or do anything. Since this isn’t what she expects...

The gold surfaces to be joined need to be clean of dirt and grease for the solder to chemically bond them together. Soak them in the pickle solution briefly to remove surface contamination, then rinse in water to remove the acid. Scrub the surfaces with detergent or soap for additional cleaning. Some people neutralize the acidic pickle by adding baking soda to the rinse water, but this is not necessary unless your pickle is unusually strong. Place the gold objects on a soldering block, and hold in place with tweezers or a clamp. The areas to be joined together should fit together as closely as possible; this process cannot typically fill large gaps. Flux will help remove additional impurities, and prevent discoloration to the surface. Applying the flux only where the pieces will be joined may reduce the amount of solder that flows to the wrong area, but some people prefer to apply the flux over the whole piece to minimize discoloration. Use the torch to briefly heat the flux wherever you applied it, until the water boils away and leaves behind protective solids, which inhibit the formation of copper oxides. If you applied flux to the entire object, be sure to perform this step thoroughly before you add the solder. Place a chip of solder on one end of the seam to be joined, and heat the surrounding gold objects. If you are using an appropriately high-temperature torch, you should be able to heat that area sufficiently to melt the solder without having to heat the entire object. Move your flame back and forth slowly as you heat, to apply the heat across the length of the seam to be joined. The solder should melt and flow across the seam, visibly joining the two sides together. Once the solder has flowed along the joint, and the metal surfaces have been heated sufficiently to join together, turn off the torch and let the gold cool. After a couple minutes, quench it further in the water bath. Use copper tools to lower the gold slowly into the pickle bath, and wait a few minutes for most of the discoloring...

The great thing about dating an entrepreneur is that their motivation can rub off on you. Entrepreneurs dislike laziness, so try to keep up with their spirit of determination and innovation. Invest in your own interests and passions to keep an entrepreneur interested in you.  Take classes and try new things. If you've always wanted to learn to cook, for example, try taking a cooking class and hosting dinner parties more often. Not only will doing your own thing keep an entrepreneur interested, it will also keep you busy while they're running their business. Not everyone is able to date an entrepreneur long term. You will sometimes come second place to their business. Ask yourself whether you can deal with your partner occasionally missing out on big occasions because their business demands it. Entrepreneurs travel a lot. If you can't handle sleeping alone, a relationship with an entrepreneur may not be right for you. Learn ways to cope emotionally while your partner is away.  Communicate from a distance as this can help you feel more secure in the relationship. Call one another each night and do things like video chatting. Try to engage in activities together from a distance. For example, you can both read the same book or watch a movie at the same time while texting each other comments. Entrepreneurs are sometimes lost in their business, but that doesn’t mean they don’t care about you. Remind yourself an entrepreneur is with you because they like you. Even if their business demands a lot of their time, it doesn't mean they don't love and need personal relationships.

The greater moisture in a closed container creates a good environment for the growth of bacteria.  Keep your toothbrush in a container when you travel to avoid it picking up dirt or bacteria. Be sure your toothbrush is dry before putting it in the protector or case. Also, be sure to clean your toothbrush protector regularly. Chlorhexidine (found in mouthwash) is the best antibacterial substance to clean the container. This allows water to drain from the bristles. It also keeps them away from bacteria that grows in even trace amounts of water. If you store your toothbrush in a container like a cup, you may have noticed that scum collects at the bottom. If you store your toothbrush on its side or with the brush facing down, it will be lying in that scum. When you flush, tiny water particles containing fecal matter escape the toilet and may land on your toothbrush if it is too close to the toilet. While there is insufficient evidence that these trace amounts of bacteria cause illness, it is best to be safe. once a week. Bacteria that accumulates on the toothbrush holder can be transmitted to the brush, and then to your mouth. It is particularly important to clean your holder regularly if it has a closed bottom, like a cup. Wash your toothbrush holder or cup with soap and water. Do not run it through the dishwasher unless it says it's dishwasher-safe. Never put your electric toothbrush itself in the dishwasher. If you are storing multiple toothbrushes in one container, make sure they do not touch, as this will allow for the transfer of bacteria and bodily fluids from one brush to another.

The groin is a highly-sensitive area on the human body. Strike it with a quick kick or punch to send your opponent into a tremendous amount of pain. They will quickly drop to the ground, buying you time to flee or subdue your attacker. Your opponent will have trouble standing up after this, as attacks to the groin usually cause a fair bit of nausea. There aren’t any bones protecting the stomach the way the ribs protect the lungs, which means you can strike an opponent’s stomach and damage their organs without much resistance. Use a closed fist to punch your opponent’s stomach right below the belly button to deliver a powerful strike that will make your attacker bend over. You can also use a bent foot to strike your opponent’s gut if it’s easier. Even if you miss the stomach, hitting your opponent’s bladder or kidneys will have a similar effect. If you can’t strike the stomach directly, opt to kick or punch an opponent’s side, 5–6 in (13–15 cm) beneath the end of their ribcage. This will throw your opponent totally off of their balance while causing them to bend over to the side in pain. This is an excellent option if you want to reposition in a fight and gain the upper hand. If you need to flank your opponent when you’re facing them, strafe 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) with your dominant foot to your dominant side to keep yourself from needing to move both of your feet.

The guitar is made up of six strings, with the thickest, heaviest string on top and the thinnest on the bottom. Guitar strings count from the bottom up -- so the thin string is the 1st and the thick string is the 6th. From the bottom up, the notes are E B G D A E. There are a variety of ways to remember the strings, but one of the simplest is:   Every  Boy  Gets  Dessert  At  Easter In western music, notes are written as the letters A - G. After G, the notes cycle back to A, but a higher-pitched version of A. As you move down the fret board (towards the body of the guitar), you cycle down the notes. An E, therefore is higher up the fret board than a F, and a G, and then the next A.  The note before is considered lower. So a B is lower than the next C. A note that occurs later on is a higher note. An E is a higher note than the earlier D. In between the notes are sharps (represented by a #) and flats (represented by a ♭). Sharps are the notes right after a letter, like an A→ A#, and flats are right before a note, like a D♭→ E. Sharps and flats are interchangeable, depending on the song. For example, the note between a C and D is written as either a C# or a D♭. The full set of notes is:  A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G# Notice that there is no such thing as E# or B#. E and B do not ever have sharps, and the notes simply skip from E→F. As such, there is no C♭ or F♭ either. If you remember this small exception to the rule, memorizing the guitar will be easy. The frets of a guitar are numbered, with 0 being an open string, 1 being the fret closest to the head, and so on. A half-step is simply moving from one note to the next (A→ A#), including the sharps and flats, whereas a full-step jumps two notes (A→ B, B→ C#). Each fret represents a half step up from the one before it. So:  On the top string, the first note (an open string) is E.  The first fret on the top string is an F (remember, there is no such thing as E#). The second fret on the top string is an F#.  The third fret on the top string is a G.  This...

The harvest of wild ginseng is regulated in 19 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin),and is restricted or prohibited in all other states where it occurs. All of the 19 states have a designated harvest season, which is from September 1 to November 30.  Plan your harvesting accordingly.  If you have questions, contact your state natural resource or agriculture department for more details. The American Herbal Products Association is also a resource for state laws and regulations.  In Canada, it is illegal to harvest wild ginseng, and it is classified as endangered both nationally and in Ontario and Québec. The export of wild roots in Canada is prohibited. Ginseng is native to hardwood forests of North America, from southern Canada (Ontario and Quebec), west to South Dakota and Oklahoma, and south to Georgia. It usually grows in well-shaded areas (especially north- or east-facing slopes) of moist hardwood forests.The more mature the forest (with large hardwood trees and a full canopy that shades out most shrubs, briars, etc.), the better for ginseng, as a thick understory of smaller plants will overshade or compete with ginseng plants.  If you are interested in a certain area, check the USDA map to see if ginseng has ever grown there before. This will greatly increase your chances of finding some ginseng. Remember that the combination of shade and moisture create the best environment for ginseng to grow. Go to forests that have Beech Trees, Maple Trees, Hickory trees, Oak Trees, Basswood Trees, and Tulip Poplar Trees. Ginseng grows well in the shade of these trees. If you begin to harvest late into the season, you may have more difficulty finding ginseng. Look for deep, dark soil that is loose and covered with leaf litter. One indicator that you may be in an area where ginseng grows is the presence of "companion plants." These plants favor the...

The health benefits of chia seeds are sometimes over-reported in news or personal anecdotes, but it is true that they are high-energy foods (partially due to the high fat content) and are good sources of some nutrients. One ounce (30 mL or 2 tbsp) of dry chia seeds contains about 138 calories (138 kcal), 5 grams (g) of protein, 9g of fat, and 10g of fiber. They provide significant amounts of useful calcium, magnesium, and potassium, even in small servings. They are most likely good sources of antioxidants and mediocre sources of (digestible) Omega-3 fatty acids, both of which may have beneficial health effects. Claims about weight loss, improved heart health, and improved athletic performance have not yet been verified by scientific studies. More than one study has failed to find any benefits of this type from adding chia seed to your diet. This does not mean that chia seeds are not a healthy food, but don't expect it to change your health or fitness drastically without making other changes to your diet or exercise routine. Chia seeds are high in fat and calories compared to their size, and can provide significant nutritious benefit even in small servings. The large amounts of fiber they contain may cause digestive issues if eaten in large quantities. While there is no "official" recommended serving size, you may wish to limit yourself to 1 or 2 ounces (30–60mL or 2–4 tbsp) of chia seeds each day, especially when you are adding them to your diet for the first time. Chia seeds are relatively bland, with little flavor of their own. When combined with liquids, they take on a gelatinous texture which some people enjoy but other find unpleasant. Fortunately, these qualities make them easy to mix them into other foods. You may eat chia seeds dry, stirred into other foods, or cooked into other foods. None of these methods provide significantly more nutritious benefits than others. If eaten plain, chia seeds will actually start to combine with the saliva in your mouth and begin taking on their trademark gel-like...

The heat and light given off by porch lights are like a homing beacon for bugs, which means the simplest way to thin their ranks is to leave them in the dark. Hold off on flipping the switch until there’s not enough light outside to see by.   This may not always be the most practical answer, as many homeowners prefer to leave their porch lights on overnight for safety reasons. Try rigging your porch lights to a timer or light sensor so that they’ll activate at dusk and shut themselves off automatically when the sun begins to rise. Look for specially tinted “bug” bulbs designed to repel insects. The color yellow has one of the highest wavelengths on the visible spectrum—this makes it very hard for bugs to see. Most of them will fly right by without even noticing.  If you don’t want to go to the trouble of replacing all of your porch lights, you can also try lining the fixtures themselves with yellow cellophane to produce the same effect.  One downside of yellow bulbs is that they cast your whole house in a yellow hue. This may not be ideal if you have your sights set on winning your neighborhood’s “most beautiful home” award. LED bulbs emit far less heat than ordinary incandescent bulbs, and their light isn’t as attractive to insects. Most of them also put off a clean, white shine, so you won’t have to see your home awash with the sickly color generated by yellow bulbs. You’ll be able to find LED bulbs in an array of convenient sizes to suit your unique lighting needs at most hardware and home improvement stores. LED bulbs tend to cost a little more than standard light bulbs. For this reason, it may be more economical to reserve them for fixtures nearest the main entrances and exits. Aromatic candles are particularly effective for warding off winged intruders. They also serve as an elegant secondary light source, making them a win-win. For best results, arrange your candles on a table or railing directly below the problematic porch light.  Look for candles containing pungent oils and additives like lemongrass,...

The heat will open up your blood vessels and make it easier for fluid to escape. Place a washcloth in warm water but make sure that the water is not too hot so that you do not burn your skin. Ring out the excess water and then place the washcloth over your face and nose. Relax for about five to 10 minutes, and then remove the washcloth. Inhaling steam from a shower or bath can help to thin out nasal mucus as well. Take a warm shower or bath and inhale the warm steamy air. You can also sit in the bathroom with hot water running in the tub or shower for about 10 – 15 minutes. The steam will fill the room and help to loosen up mucus in your nasal passages. Dry air in your bedroom and the rest of your house can aggravate a congested nose. A humidifier or vaporizer can help by releasing water vapor into the air, which helps to reduce dryness. Try using a humidifier at night to increase moisture levels in the air and help to thin out your mucus. Drinking plenty of water will thin out your mucus and may help prevent your sinuses from getting blocked up. Aim to drink eight glasses of water per day to ensure proper hydration. Sip water throughout the day, and enjoy other hydrating beverages such as juice, decaffeinated coffee, and caffeine-free herbal teas.

The heavier, or more moisturizing, the conditioner you use, the more it will weigh down your curls and help your hair hang longer and straighter. Do not towel-dry your hair. The friction from rubbing your hair against the towel will create frizz and encourage curling. Keep your hair soaking wet for the following steps. This will add extra weight to bear down on the curls and prevent frizz. If you prefer to avoid commercial conditioners, consider applying a natural oil.  Thicker hair would benefit from a thicker oil, such as argan or olive oil. Thinner or finer hair would do better with a lighter oil, such as grape seed oil, or coconut oil. Remember to start with a pea-sized or dime-sized amount of oil depending on the length and thickness of your hair. You can always add more product if needed. If your hair is particularly thick, you may need to divide your hair into 6parts. Brush this section so it is free of any tangles, making sure that the leave-in oils are evenly distributed. Keeping 1 hand on your brush, use the other to gently insert bobby pins every 2 inches (5.1 cm) to secure the section of hair to your scalp. Depending on the length of your hair, the section may wrap all the way across the side, bottom, and opposite side of your scalp. Use as many bobby pins as necessary to keep the section secure. Secure the hair to the scalp with bobby pins placed every 2 inches (5.1 cm). If your hair begins to dry, apply more water with a spray bottle, or by splashing water on your hair with your hands. If you find it uncomfortable to sleep with the bobby pins, try wrapping a towel lightly around your head to pad your scalp. If you develop a headache, you may have placed the bobby pins in too tightly against the scalp. You may want to experiment with different brands to find ones which are the most comfortable against your head. Unless your hair is extremely thick, it will be mostly dried. Don’t pull too vigorously or you may damage your hair. Avoid using a brush, as it will increase volume and frizz. If your...

The hedgehog is considered an exotic pet, and keeping one may be subject to certain laws in your state or county. In some places it is illegal, whereas in others you may be required to have a special permit. Check with your local state, city, and county ordinances to learn more about any laws or regulations on owning exotic pets in your town. If you need help finding out about your state's specific regulations, or you need to find a safe home for a hedgehog that you're not legally allowed to have, contact an animal welfare organization or one specifically dedicated to hedgehogs. Hedgehogs bought from responsible breeders are more likely to be well socialized, and because the breeder is familiar with the hedgehogs parents, chances are better that you'll get a healthy pet. That said, it is important to find a good breeder. If you don't, you could end up with a grumpy or sick hedgehog.  Be sure the breeder has quality, pedigree stock with no Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome (WHS) or cancer in their lineage. See that the breeder is USDA licensed. In the US, hedgehog breeders are required to have a USDA license. The purchasing process involves paperwork, in which they will provide you with their license number. Be wary of breeders who post on Craigslist or other online classifieds. Ask the breeder if they offer any health guarantees. Policies may vary, but you are likely to feel more comfortable with your selection if the breeder offers some option to return or exchange the hog if unexpected health problems arise early on. This also alerts them to possible health problems in certain lineages, so concern in this area is a sign of a responsible breeder. There are several signs you can look for in a healthy hedgie before making your selection.  Clear eyes: The hog should appear alert; the eyes should not be crusty, sunken, or swollen. Clean fur and quills: While some anointing is normal (see below), fecal matter around the anus may indicate diarrhea or other underlying health issues. Healthy skin: Crusty skin around the...

The height of a triangle can be found if you have 2 sides and the angle in between them, or all three sides. We'll call the sides of the triangle a, b, and c, and the angles, A, B, and C.  If you have all three sides, you'll use Heron's formula, and the formula for the area of a triangle. If you have two sides and an angle, you'll use the formula for the area given two angles and a side. A = 1/2ab(sin C). Heron's formula has two parts. First, you must find the variable s, which is equal to half of the perimeter of the triangle. This is done with this formula: s = (a+b+c)/2. Replace area in the formula with its equivalent in the area of a triangle formula: 1/2bh. This gives you a formula that looks like 1/2bh = 1/2ab(sin C). This can be simplified to h = a(sin C), thereby eliminating one of the side variables.

The highest temperature during this time will be 90 °F (32 °C). March to June are the most temperate months, with temperatures staying around 75 °F (24 °C), and this is when most of the flowers and vegetation will be in bloom.   Even though the temperature is never extreme, there is still a good amount of rainfall on Jeju Island during the spring and summer, so make sure to pack a raincoat!   If you want to visit in the fall and winter, be prepared for temperatures in the 40–50 °F (4–10 °C) range. You can use the official Korean Tourism website as a resource to book your ferry trip. Also, plan to bring your own food on the ferry as there aren’t many places to buy food from on board. This is a great way to enjoy the beautiful views of the ocean!  The three main ferry terminals are: Jeju Domestic Ferry Terminal, Jeju International Ferry Terminal, and Seongsanpo Ferry Terminal.  A round-trip ticket for one person will run around $100. There are many international flights to Seoul, and from there you can book a flight to Jeju International Island that will take about 1 hour. It is more affordable to fly into Seoul rather that to Jeju International Airport directly, though direct flights are available.   Most major airlines provide flights into Seoul. Frontier, Spirit, and United airlines offer round-trip tickets, sometime for as low as $200 per person. If you are traveling during the busy tourist season, prices will be higher. Reserving tickets early will help you get the best pricing available for your travel dates.   Check out Jin Air, Jeju Air, and Easter Jet for best prices for your flight from Seoul to Jeju. Tickets will cost anywhere from $50-$100 for a round-trip ticket. Airlines often offer early-bird pricing, so buying your tickets sooner rather than later should save you money. Unless you are a South Korean citizen, you will need a passport to gain entry to Jeju Island. If you don’t already have one, apply for your passport 6 months before your trip to make sure it arrives in time.   Don’t wait until...
