Confidence is the absolute key to conveying a successful image in the business world. Acting confident involves your body language, facial expressions, the tone of your voice, and social skills. Standing tall expresses control, confidence, and competence. Although it can take time to correct your posture if you have bad habits, frequent practice can offset even years of poor posture.  Avoid slouching and straighten your spine. Slouching does not convey energy and confidence, focus on keeping your spine straight. Pull back your shoulder blades. Pulling back your shoulder blades gives the impression of opening yourself up, as well as pushing your chest out, which also conveys confidence. Always keep your chin up. Looking down too often not only promotes bad posture, but it also gives the impression you are shy, or being evasive. This the opposite image of the open and direct impression that promotes positive business relations. Smiling makes you appear friendly, approachable, and likable, all of which are necessary for business. Looking sad, angry, or bored not only deters people from approaching you, but it can have the effect of generating a poor first impression, which makes forming key relationships difficult or impossible.   Focus on being aware of yourself and your facial expressions. You may find yourself looking negative or nervous in social situations, or when meeting new people. Try replacing that expression with a smile, and you will find it not only improves your mood, but makes you more approachable to others. Practice smiling while walking down the hall. You will find it will lead to others smiling at you. Maintaining eye contact and nodding during conversation gives the person you are communicating with a clear signal you are listening, you care, and that you are entirely focused on him, which can help build rapport and make him more likely to disclose information, trust you, and want to continue communicating. To practice making eye contact, start with routine conversations. As soon as you get...

Confidence makes you feel comfortable.  Make eye contact with everyone. Eye contact makes you seem more confident and comfortable around others. Speak in a clear and steady voice. Don’t try to talk too fast or let your nerves show through. Have good body language and posture. Stand up straight and don’t slouch. Try not to cross your arms or legs so you have an open and welcoming posture. Feel good about yourself. You have a lot to offer others and they should want to talk to you. Enjoying yourself makes you feel good. Have fun no matter where you are.  Try not to be too nervous. Nothing’s too serious about any social environment that you can’t have fun. Laugh and joke around with others. Everyone enjoys a little levity. Don’t try to be a clown for others. Forcing too much fun can create an uncomfortable situation. Know that any social situation can be uncomfortable. If you feel uncomfortable, just know it will eventually be over.  Feel good about talking and interacting with others. Even if some interactions don’t go well, just keep in mind that you tried. Know that you may not make friends. Some social occasions may be the only time you meet someone. Have a good time with them then and don’t worry about the future. Realize that uncomfortable situations may arise. Deal with them as they come and you’ll find they are easier to deal with than you imagine. Get out of the conversation if you need to. If the person you are talking to is offensive or acting strangely, politely excuse yourself. There’s no reason you have to talk to people that make you feel uncomfortable. Go up and talk to a stranger. You’ll find it’s less scary than you think.  Talk to people who are standing by themselves. If they look friendly and open, come up to them and start a conversation. Ask people about themselves. Don’t pry too much, but general information can be a good starting place for a conversation. Avoid negative thoughts. Try not to think of the worse case scenario. Nothing that bad can happen if you try to talk to a stranger at...

First, read the English article below.

Confidence, or a lack of it, is conveyed in the tone of one’s voice. If you mumble, hesitate, or whine when speaking, you may come across as non-assertive. However, if you speak in a clear, even tone, and at a moderate to loud volume, you will exude self-assurance and seem positively intimidating. If you have trouble speaking clearly or evenly, take a moment to think before you speak. This will give you time to prepare what you want to say. It may also convey that you are confident enough not to be bothered by a little silence, which can itself make you seem more intimidating. You can showcase your confidence in the way you communicate, thereby increasing your intimidation level. This means doing things like:  Not always agreeing with others. Voicing your opinion. Not shying away from conflict. Using “I” statements, such as “I disagree” rather than “You’re wrong.” This emphasizes your authority. Agreeing in principle, but not necessarily in detail, by saying things like “That makes sense, but...” Not becoming defensive when others criticize you, and not offering counter criticisms. Instead, focus on making direct statements about your opinions. Being persistent. State your point over and over again if necessary, but don’t waver from it. Being willing to say “no” (or "I'm too busy," etc.) to some requests. “Trash” talk, or slightly criticizing others, is common in sports as a way of conveying confidence and unsettling opponents. It can be used in other contexts, however (like political ads or in the workplace), to appear intimidating.  Trash talk in other situations can be direct, such as telling a coworker “I’ve got thirteen new accounts listed in my report this month, Jim, and how many do you have? Zero.” It can also include sarcasm, like “Nice job on that report, Jim. Maybe next time you’ll actually win an account to include in it.” Avoid sexist, racist, and otherwise offensive language. Keep your trash talk focused on a person’s abilities rather than his or her identity. Walking into a new place with a...

Conflict is important in any story, even a comedy. Especially in a dramatic story, however, you must pay special attention to it. Nobody wants to read a drama where nothing’s at stake, because the emotional intensity would quickly flat-line. There are three dimensions of conflict: external-world conflict, external-personal conflict, and internal conflict. A comedy might make use of as few as one of these dimensions, but a dramatic story must make use of all three.  External-world conflict is a problem external to the main character(s) — something beyond their control. It can be as grand in scale as a war, or as small and domestic as a character’s parents getting divorced. External-personal conflict is a conflict between your characters. Examples might be two characters fighting over a common romantic interest, or two politicians going head-to-head in a political campaign. Internal conflict is a character’s struggle to overcome their greatest personal weakness. For example, a character might have to overcome their fear of commitment to find happiness in a relationship, or overcome their arrogance to succeed in their career. Because the success of your dramatic story relies so heavily on the reader's engagement with your conflicts, it's important that you map out your conflicts during the brainstorming process, before you begin drafting. You may be tempted to describe your story in terms of “what it’s about,” but it will be more effective if you describe it to yourself in terms of “what your character wants.” This will keep you in your reader's mindset: in a drama, the reader wants your main character to find success and happiness. By concentrating on your character's goal or motivation, you will focus on ideas and details that will make your reader more invested in your story.  Your story might have a very clear and explicit goal, such as “to leave behind an impoverished past by getting into an Ivy League college,” or your character’s motivation might be less defined — to cope after the death of a spouse, for...

Connected adapters will have a green indicator next to them. Router IP Address. This is the address that you can use to access your router's settings.  If you are using an AirPort router, click here. Router address into the browser's address bar. Routers are protected with an admin login and password. Check your router's documentation or look up the model online to find the default login information.   If you can't figure out how to log in to your router, you can reset it by pressing and holding the Reset button on the back for about 30 seconds. After the router restarts, you will be able to log in with the default admin information. Most default logins use "admin" as the username, and then "admin", "password", or a blank field as the password. Actually defining where the "MAC Filtering" section is located is very difficult, as the location and labeling is different for every router. Generally, you can find the "MAC Filtering" or "Access Control" settings in the "Advanced" section, though it may also be found in the "Security" or "Wireless Settings" sections.  Not all routers use MAC address filtering. Some router's limit access based on static IP addresses assigned to each device. Again, the wording and location will vary depending on the router, but you will generally be able to select a "Disable" option to turn off MAC filtering.  This may be a checkbox, a button or a selection that you can make. Click the "Apply" or "Save" button to save your changes to the router settings. Your router will apply the changes, which may take a few moments.  If you are configuring your router over a wireless connection, you may be logged out when settings changes are saved.

Connecting with other human beings is good for your mental health.  Friends and family can help reduce your stress levels and increase your overall sense of well-being.  These connections help you feel supported and valued, which in turn will help you feel happier and less lonely.  Personal connections are beneficial to your health.  For example, loneliness can increase high blood pressure and human connections can actually prolong your life span. Existing friend and family connections need to be supportive to you, or they may not be beneficial.  You should have at least a few friends or family members with whom you: feel comfortable being around; get the sense that you could tell them anything without being judged; can ask for help to solve problems; feel valued; are treated seriously. If you're looking to make new friends, consider one of the following activities: enrol in an interesting class; join a book club; participate in a hiking club; volunteer at a non-profit organization. Helping other people is obviously beneficial to those people, but it also has many positive impacts on you.  Helping other people can: increase your level of happiness; make you feel lucky to be who you are; provide you with connections to other human beings; make you feel needed and helpful; reduce the amount of worrying you do; and give you a sense of meaning or purpose to your life. There is no shortage of charities and non-profit organizations that need volunteers to help do just about any job you can think of.  But helping others doesn't have to be so organized.  It can also include helping your neighbor carrying in her groceries, or shoveling another neighbor's sidewalk after a snowfall. Give yourself the chance to feel joy, happiness and satisfaction on a regular basis.  Laughing, for example, is known to decrease pain, promote muscle relaxation, reduce anxiety, and help your lungs and heart.  Some ways to add fun to your life on a regular basis are:  Read joke books when you're feeling down or bored. Keep a collection of...

Connecting with others increases self-worth and establishes a sense of belonging, contributing to general wellbeing. Maintain and strengthen relationships with friends and family through regular contact. Schedule time to make phone calls and visits each week. Schedule walks with friends to combine outdoor exercise and social interaction. Volunteering to help others will improve your self-esteem and help you gain a little perspective. Realizing you are in a position to offer something to others will help you to focus on your strengths and resources, improving your mood. Contact your local community center or look up volunteering opportunities online. Combine a new hobby or exercise and socializing by joining a club or community sports league. This will improve mood by fostering a sense of belonging, and provide the added benefit of spending time doing something you enjoy. You can find descriptions of local clubs and social groups online, with a list of scheduled events. Random acts of kindness are a great way to boost your mood quickly, without requiring ongoing commitment. The acts don't need to be grand. Consider small gestures like buying coffee for the person behind you in line at a coffee shop, or giving a homeless person your lunch.  Commit to performing a specific number of acts of kindness each day or each week. Write down each act and how it made you feel for an additional boost to your mood.

Connection speeds are measured in Mbps. This stands for Megabits Per Second. Mbps is the standard method of calculating transfer speeds. The most important thing to note is that a megabit (Mb) is different than a megabyte (MB).  File sizes are typically measured in MBs. A megabit is 1000000 bits, which translates to about 125 kilobytes. A megabyte is made of 1024 kilobytes. This means that a 10 Mbps connection will deliver download speeds up to 1.25 MBps. Connections are made to servers. A server is the location where you are retrieving data from. Servers are physical objects, and their relative distance to your computer will affect the speed at which you connect to them. All things being equal, you will download a file faster from a server that is 10 miles (16 km) away as opposed to a server that is 500 miles (800 km) away. When you download something, you are retrieving a file from a server. When you upload, you are sending a file to a server. Internet connections are typically significantly faster downloading than uploading. Ping measures time to connect. The ping is a measurement of how long a message takes to reach one end of the connection to the other. This affects how long a download may take to get started, but does not affect overall transfer rate.

Consent should be clear and enthusiastic. If they seem uncomfortable or aren't sure about having sex, don't try to pressure them. Respect their decision if the answer is no, and don't ask for an explanation.  They might want to kiss or touch, but that doesn't mean they want to have sex. They also have the right to change their mind and stop if they become uncomfortable at any point. Talking about STIs in the moment can ruin the mood, but it's a necessary conversation. Ask your partner if they've been tested within the last 6 months, and inform them about your sexual health in advance.  It's best to talk about sexual health when you and your partner are thinking clearly. You're less likely to make informed decisions in the heat of the moment. If you're already fooling around and haven't had the conversation, don't feel bad about looking out for your health. If they're sexually active and haven't been tested recently, your best bet is to cool things off until they've been screened. Always practice safe sex, even if you and your partner have been screened and tested negative for STIs. If you don't have protection on hand, say, “This is really hot, and as much as I hate to stop, we should cool things off until we have a condom.”  Talking about safe sex doesn't have to be a turn-off. For example, try asking what kind of condom feels best or if they like flavored or textured varieties. Try to be positive when you bring up safe sex. Mention that using protection benefits both of you instead of phrasing it like you need to protect yourself from them.

Consider colors like dark blue, brown, and black to be formal. Colors like gray and white can pass as formal but are easy to wear in most situations. More vibrant shades like light blues and reds are trickier to find but work best in casual settings. For the most part, the color doesn't matter as much as the other clothing you choose to pair the sweater with.  Dark colors often work well when you don't wish to stand out very much. Try using a dark-colored sweater as part of an outfit when you're going for a more subtle or professional style. Lighter colors work very well for fun, less serious events. Still, avoid wearing extremely bright sweaters unless you're planning on making a statement. Patterns on sweaters are a lot like colors in that the more you have, the less formal your sweater seems. Everyone notices patterns, so match the rest of your outfit to compliment the one on your sweater. Go for an understated look with the rest of your clothing. Pair your sweater with clean jeans and simple, no-frills shoes.  Argyle, which consists of colored, interlocking diamonds, is one of the most popular patterns available. Keep the rest of your outfit plain to avoid color conflicts. You could wear a plain sports jacket over it to keep it stylish. Houndstooth, checkered, and black and white patterns also tend to be popular and stylish. The most expensive sweaters are made from animal fur like wool and cashmere, so you can expect they will keep you warm. Cotton is a more affordable option that gives you plenty of style options during cool weather. There are also synthetic sweaters made from material like polyester that are lower-quality but often more durable and comfortable against bare skin.  You get what you pay for most of the time. Wool and cashmere tend to be expensive but of a high quality. Many synthetic sweaters attempt to mimic these qualities but are poorly-made, so always give your clothing a test wear before buying. The more expensive the sweater, the more delicate it is likely to be. Wool and cashmere,...

Consider getting a physical exam before beginning any exercise program. This is especially true if you have medical problems, especially related to the heart, lungs, kidneys, or joints.   The older you are, the more important it is to see a physician before you begin moderate or strenuous exercise. If you have quit smoking in the past six months, you should also consider a visit to the doctor before getting started. Remember that you should not be ashamed of where you currently stand. It is all about where you are heading! Figure out the level of fitness you are trying to achieve. Knowing your goals will help keep you motivated to exercise.  Health-related fitness requires that you maintain a minimum level of fitness for your age to reduce your risk of illnesses that can be caused by lack of exercise or poor nutrition. Performance-related fitness concerns the activities you want to do. Some occupations, such as firefighter, require higher levels of fitness, as do some recreational activities, such as hiking. Aerobic exercise makes that body’s cardiovascular system — the heart and lungs — more efficient at using and distributing oxygen through the blood. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services advises Americans ages 18-64 to do at least 2 ½ hours of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week.   Moderate intensity is defined as any activity that burns around five calories per minute   Engage in the activity for at least ten minutes at a time: shorter intervals will not have the same benefits. Strength training is designed to increase your endurance (how long you can exercise) and to make your muscles bigger and stronger. Research has shown that strength training can increase bone strength, improve joint function, and reduce one’s potential for injury. Strength training is also known as anaerobic exercise, because during this type of exercise, the body uses energy that does not require oxygen. Setting unobtainable goals will only result in frustration and may cause you to give up when you're actually...

Consider how you respond in certain situations that require action, thought, and insight. Before doing anything more concrete, try to monitor your spontaneous reactions to experiences you've had in life already. Buy or acquire a journal to write your thoughts in. The reason for doing this is that the spontaneous reactions tell you a lot about how you react in both ordinary and intense situations. You can write them down to help you decipher your actions and abilities. Perhaps it's being in a car crash or a child suddenly dashing out in front of your car while you slam on your brakes. How did you react when confronted with the spontaneous situation? Did you clam up and retreat or did you meet the challenge head on, assembling tools and resources to address the situation?  If you took control and acted as a leader, you probably feel that courage and being able to handle these situations is a strength. If you reacted by crying uncontrollably, feeling helpless or lashing out at others, staying in self-control during a challenging situation might be a weakness.   Make sure to consider things from several angles. For example, feeling helpless after a car crash is a perfectly natural reaction to the stress of the experience. But, if you went to ask for help from someone, this suggests that asking others for help (collaboration) could be a strength. You do not always have to do everything yourself to be strong. Think about a time when you faced a hard decision but one that wasn't so life and death. For example, how do you react when you enter a crowded room? Do you want to engage everyone you meet there or do you want to find a quiet corner away from the noise and connect with just one person? The person connecting with others is strong at socializing and being extroverted, while the quieter person is strong at connecting individually and listening. Both these strengths can be used to the person's natural advantage. Think of a time when you've been put on the spot and had to react immediately. How quickly did you...

Consider if you love them, if you just enjoy spending time with them, or if you even see a future with the person at all. Saying “I love you” is a milestone in a relationship that indicates the person has strong feelings for you. They’ll want to know if you reciprocate those feelings. If you don’t then it’s important to be aware of that and decide how you’ll move forward from there.  For example, if you really like the person but you’re not sure if you love them, you might want to continue the relationship and see if those feelings develop over time. However, if you have started to feel like your relationship with this person isn’t working, then it might be time to let them know this so that you can both move on. If you love the person and feel ready to tell them that, then now is a great time to say “I love you, too!” However, it’s important to be honest if you’re not ready to say “I love you.” Even if you develop feelings of love for the person eventually, saying it before you mean it is dishonest and it could lead to problems down the road. Never say “I love you” back if you don’t mean it because this will introduce a lie into your relationship. If you don’t feel ready to say “I love you,” it’s fine to respond in a simple, straightforward manner. Listen to your instincts if you’re not ready to say it back and be totally honest with the person. Just make sure to be polite and considerate of their feelings.  Try saying something like, “Sorry, I’m just not ready to say that yet.” Or, “I’m glad to know you feel that way. I’m not there yet, but I want to keep our momentum going.” ” One way to respond to someone who has just said “I love you” is to focus on their positive traits and let them know that you value these things about them. Think about what you like about the person and what makes you want to spend time with them. Then, focus on these things in your response.  Try saying something like, “I’m so happy you feel that way. I enjoy spending time with you, too. You’re such a wonderful listener.” Or you...

Consider that you will likely read your eulogy out loud at the visitation or wake for your mother. Use diction and vocabulary appropriate for this, such as thanking others for coming. Also makes notes indicating where pauses should occur. This means avoiding a formal tone.  Focus on writing the way you speak. Simply reading a script to an audience can feel dry and ultra-formal, an effect you may want to avoid. Try writing your eulogy in a list format, leaving room for improvisation so that you are not constantly looking down at the paper. Most pieces of writing have a beginning, middle, and end. For a eulogy, you need an intro, body, and conclusion. In order to produce an engaging introduction, start writing the body, then move to the conclusion before returning to write the intro. Writing in this order helps you figure out what you are going to say so that the introduction is more clear.  Keep in mind that you will likely write several revisions before coming up with a copy that you are happy with.  Ask relatives and friends to read over or listen to you read your rough drafts to help make the eulogy stronger. The tone for a eulogy does not have to be sad, although it certainly can be. Ask yourself some questions to determine what the mood and tone of your eulogy should be. For instance, how would your mother want you to feel? How do you want others to feel after hearing or reading your eulogy? Consider the personality of your mother. Was she vibrant and energetic? Warm and loving? Think about making the tone of your eulogy match your mother’s personality. Knowing what a eulogy is can help you decide what things to leave out. For starters, think of a eulogy as a gift to your mother. Your gift will assist everyone close to her in processing the grief they feel. That being said, you can choose to filter out things that don’t fit this mold.  You will probably want to exclude negative things. If you were angry with her when she passed, forgiving her before penning the eulogy can help you focus on positive...

Consider the potential distractions of a place and choose one that has as few of them as possible.  The ideal place will vary from person to person: if the presence of other people distracts you, avoid libraries and common areas in your house. If noise is what bothers you most, the library could instead be the perfect environment for you. Avoid spaces that you associate with other activities: these could work as a distraction. For example, studying where you keep your television might eventually encourage you to turn it on; studying in bed can work for some, but a nap could get in the way.  If you've chosen a space thinking that it could work and then find yourself distracted by something in it, get away and move into one without this distraction. Forcing yourself to ignore it while trying to read or study will only keep your concentration busy with something other than the task at hand. Make sure that there is enough light and room for you to keep your books and tools. Use a chair that keeps your back straight but is comfortable to sit in. Check that you have everything you need before starting to work.  Getting up to look for something will break your work flow and might lead you to other distractions. Proper lighting is important. In a dim environment, your eyes will get tired faster and this might lead you to take more breaks than needed. If you're using artificial lighting, position the source directly on the page instead of over your shoulder. The effect of background noise on our concentration is very subjective: you might work best in total silence or find music helpful in shutting out actual as well as mental distraction.  Listen to different genres of music and see which one helps you concentrate the most: you might be distracted by lyrics and prefer ambient music, or you might find the cadences of rap music can help you stay focused.

Consider the size of the yucca plant as you look for a pot. You want to make sure the plant is stable and will not tip over.  Purchase a container at a home and garden store. Your pot should easily fit the roots of your plant and have some extra room for it to grow. Choose a location where the plant will get direct sunlight for most of the day. Yuccas grow best under full sunlight. Choose a spot for your potted plants, like near a window. You can also plan a spot for your outdoor yucca plant, like as a focal point in your lawn.  Yucca plants can live in all seasons and many climate zones. They are native to warm, dry areas, but many species adapt well to urban environments and cold climates. Yucca leaves are sharp. Keep the yucca plant away from sidewalks and high traffic areas so they don't cut anyone. If you have children or pets, pick a location away from their play area. If the yucca tree does not receive enough sunlight, the leaves will start to stretch and look wilted. To replant the yucca, grab a shovel and dig a hole in your lawn. The size of your hole will vary depending on the size of the tree. Make sure it is deep enough to fit your tree’s roots. Yucca plants can get damaged by over-watering, so it is important to keep your soil well-drained by using gravel. Pour gravel into your container or hole first, then sprinkle in a few inches of potting soil.  Purchase gravel and potting soil at a home supply or garden store. Make sure you use well-draining potting soil. Consider using cacti and palm soil blends, though they are not required. You can use sand as an alternative to help maintain soil drainage. Press down on the soil to get rid of any air pockets. Make sure the plant is straight and centered in its new pot. Watering the plants will help the roots take to their new soil. Yucca plants do not need much water, so lightly cover the base of the plant for a few seconds.  Water your plants again in about 10 days to 2 weeks. Touch the soil on top to determine when it needs to be watered. If the top 1–2...

Consider the stitch size setting and thread tension you will need for sewing your particular fabric. If you are unsure, consult the directions for your sewing machine and adjust settings accordingly.  Also prepare your sewing machine by threading it with a thread that matches the color and strength of the material you are going to sew. This is also a good time to plug in your iron, so that it's already heated up when you need it. Putting the wrong sides together is the opposite of what is normally done when sewing a basic seam, so don't worry if it feels counterintuitive. A French seam requires you to stitch each seam twice, folding over your first line of stitches in order to make your finished seam face the right direction.   Be sure to pin all the way down the seam you are sewing. This will help to make sure your fabric doesn't slip out of line. It's a good idea to put pins in so they are perpendicular to your seam line, this way they won't stick you as you move the fabric along in the sewing machine and they will be easy to grab as you move your fabric in the sewing machine. To keep your seam allowance the same width as you sew your seam, keep an eye on the seam allowance guide that should be printed on the thread plate of your machine. Another option is to use a 1/4 inch presser foot, that way you can just make sure the outer edge of your fabric always lines up with the edge of the presser foot.  The seam allowance is the amount of fabric that is between the edge of the fabric and the seam.  Patterns usually give a specific amount of seam allowance to use, so that your finished project doesn't turn out too bit or too small.   Remember that the french seam will basically require about double the allowance you use on this first seam, so make sure when you are cutting out your pieces of fabric that you have figured that into your measurements. Feel free to increase the seam allowance on this first seam to 3/8 inch, if you are more comfortable sewing that width, but keep in mind that you will need to...

Consider the time/place you are making for your character. A princess in a medieval setting won't be running around in men's clothing (unless, of course, she is a runaway and this is important to her character!) Robocop would choose black over pink dress wear.  He wouldn't wear tights.  Robin Hood, on the other hand, would. Slicked-back hair suggests a slick character. Messy hair, a laid-back and, perhaps, confused character.  Hair that's arranged unusually or dyed pink or blue might suggest a character who has a flair for being original or off-beat. Why does your vampire wear a chain around his neck? What's up with the lightning scar on the forehead of your roleplaying Voldemort character? These accessories ask a question that begs an answer. They make your character interesting. The obvious choice, of course, is to select your own gender for the gender of your roleplaying character. But roleplaying is about breaking boundaries.  Why not try selecting the opposite gender for your roleplaying character? You might find an avenue into creating an inspiring and original character.

Consider what the point of the monologue is, as it should serve a key purpose within the rest of the play. The monologue should reveal something to the audience that cannot be revealed through dialogue or character interaction. This could be a story, a secret, an answer to an ongoing questions in the play, or an emotional release by a character. Your monologue should serve a clear purpose and act as a revelation for the speaker.  The monologue should add tension, conflict, or emotion to the rest of the play and give the audience new insight into an existing issue or problem. For example, if there's a character who has been mute during the first act, they could have a monologue in the second act where they reveal why they are mute. You should determine who your speaker will be talking to or addressing in the monologue so you can frame the monologue with the audience in mind. The monologue may be addressed to a specific character in the play, the speaker may be addressing themselves, or they may be addressing the audience. A monologue can address a specific character, especially if the speaker wants to express their emotions or feelings to them. The character can also express their thoughts or feelings about an event for the audience's benefit. A good monologue will have a clear beginning, middle and end. Like a mini story, the monologue should also include a clear shift from the beginning to the end, where the speaker has a revelation or a realization. Your monologue should begin and end with purpose.  Create an outline that includes a beginning, middle, and end for the monologue. Note what will occur in each stage of the monologue. For example, you may write: “Beginning: Elena the mute speaks. Middle: Elena tells us why and how she became mute. Ending: Elena realizes she prefers staying silent to saying her thoughts out loud.” Alternatively, write the first and last lines of the monologue, then create the content between them to generate ideas and thoughts for the monologue.

Consider what you are capable of drawing as well as how you would like your anime girl to appear. Also keep in mind the personality of the character - a girl who's meant to be dark and mysterious isn't going to be wearing a bunch of frills! Depending on the type of school your girl goes to, she may wear different types of uniforms.  The stereotypical sailor fuku that's often seen in anime, also called the sailor uniform or seifuku, consists of a white shirt with a skirt, with a sailor collar over the shirt and a tie of some sort. In anime and manga, most sailor fukus are depicted as having rather short skirts - however, the skirts of the sailor fuku's uniform are actually typically knee-length or longer. They tend to be depicted as shorter because many girls in Japan roll their skirts at the waist, giving the appearance of a shorter skirt. These are most often seen in middle schools, although some high schools use them. High schools in Japan are gradually switching over to a more Western-style uniform, which consists of a plain shirt, a skirt or pants, a tie, and a blazer. Again, the skirts aren't short - they're rolled up! Gym uniforms tend to be solid color, usually something such as black or navy blue. The summer gym uniform typically consists of a pair of gym shorts and a short-sleeved gym shirt. The winter uniforms will usually be longer and have a jacket. Depending on the school, the uniform may have the owner's name written on it in kanji or katakana. However, katakana is usually reserved for students with foreign names. The shoes the students wear outdoors are usually a pair of black or dark brown loafers. However, Japanese schools require students to change into uwabaki, or a pair of soft slippers meant for indoor wear. The appearance of uwabaki differs from school to school, but they can have the appearance of typical slip-on shoes without rubber soles. "Casual clothing" can be defined as something that you would typically leave the house in, or see most people walking around in - for example, jeans...

Consider your unique abilities, training, or experience. Then, ask yourself how you can use these skills to create a product or service that provides value to your potential customers. For example, let’s say you’re a trained graphic designer with experience in web design. You might use these skills to start a web-design business. First, decide if you want your business to be your full-time job or a part-time job. Then, consider how much time you have available in your day to dedicate to the business. Additionally, consider how much time the products or services you plan to offer will take to do well.  Since it will likely take time for your business to become successful, it may be best to start out part-time. Some businesses may be more flexible than others. For instance, freelancing as a web designer or selling crafts may allow you to work when you want, while jobs like consulting may require you to work around a client’s schedule. Read about the current trends in the field you want to enter, and look at the number of possible competitors. Additionally, it’s helpful to survey your potential customers, either by phone or in person, to find out if they’d be interested in what you have to offer. This will help you determine if your business can fill a need that’s not currently being met.   For instance, you might call local businesses to ask if they’d be interested in hiring a freelance marketing consultant to run their social media accounts. If you’re selling a product, you could show it off at a local market or to friends you think would be interested in it to see what type of response it receives. You don’t need to do marketing research to start a business, but it can help you increase your chances of success. Not all businesses can exist in as an online or home-based business. For instance, if your business requires you to meet with clients or do extensive manufacturing, you may not be able to do it out of your home. However, some businesses are easy to operate out of a home, such as the following: ...

Considering adding a layer of mulch around your tree to help keep moisture in and weeds out.  Cover the planting hole with 1-3 inches (2.5 cm - 7.6 cm) of shredded hardwood or leaf mulch.  Keep the mulch at least 12 inches away from the trunk or it may cause the trunk to rot.  Mulching around the tree will protect the tree from trampling and lawnmowers, which are two activities that commonly kill young trees. Appreciate its shade and beauty and thank yourself for adding another tree to the world. You won't regret it and as long as you properly care for it, the tree can grow a long time!  You’ll need to make sure that you water your plant to keep it thriving. You want to achieve a balance of giving it enough water to penetrate the roots while not drowning it. Watering your tree with a steady stream from a garden hose for about 30 seconds should be sufficient. The soil should feel moist at all times and mulch will help retain the moisture.  Check soil moisture by digging about 2” below the surface and then use your finger to test if soil is moist. If it is, you don’t need to water.

Consignment stores are sometimes hit or miss, but if you spend some time looking through the racks, you can find lightly worn, high quality clothes for incredible prices. Thrift stores are a great first-stop to look for both basic items (coats, shoes, dresses, etc.) and accessories before hitting the mall. You can find classy clothing pieces at affordable prices by shopping at discount store chains such as Target, Walmart, and Kohl’s, and outlet stores, like Nordstrom Rack. You can also find affordable, appropriate pieces at stores geared towards a younger audience, such as Forever 21 and H&M. Avoid flashy, sequined, or low-cut pieces that are targeted to teen shoppers, and look instead for simpler, basic items and designs. Fashion moves quickly, and the hottest new style today might be totally outdated in a few weeks. Focus instead on buying classic, versatile pieces that won't go out of style. Your wardrobe should include a white collared shirt and a crew-neck or v-neck sweater; these items can be layered or worn separately. Look for tops in nice quality material that will hold up over time. Choose items that can appropriate for work, going out, and for special events. A dark colored A-line skirt, and a good pair of blue and/or black jeans form the basis for a classy, flexible wardrobe. If it gets cold in the winter, you must have appropriate outerwear to suit your classy wardrobe. Again, it’s worth investing in a high quality material so that you can get many years of use out of it.  For milder weather, purchase a black blazer to pull together business or work-appropriate outfits. You can also wear it in more casual settings by dressing it down with a T-shirt and jeans. Buy a versatile trench coat or peacoat for colder seasons. Solid colored shirts and pants are extremely versatile, and often appear near-identical to more upscale, designer brands. While most solid colored clothes look classy and elegant regardless of the fabric, inexpensive, patterned clothes run the risk of looking cheap. Solid colors are...

Consume a diet low in saturated fat, trans-fats, cholesterol, sodium, and added sugars and one that is high in fiber. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products. Your specific caloric and nutritional needs will depend on your age, weight, sex, and physical activity level. As a general guideline, the United States Department of Agriculture recommends:  Between two and three cups of vegetables Between one and a half and two cups of fruit Between five and eight ounces of grains Between five and six and a half ounces of protein (lean meats and fish, eggs, soy, legumes) Three cups of dairy Between five and seven teaspoons of heart-healthy oil such as olive oil or canola oil each day for adults Lose weight if you are overweight. Keeping your weight in a healthy range for your height and body type will decrease your risk of chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and arthritis in your weight-bearing joints, all of which can be very expensive to treat without health insurance.  To determine whether your weight is healthy for your height, use an online body mass index (BMI) calculator. A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9.  Limit sugar and highly processed food like junk food and fast food. This will help maintain your weight. Aim for 30 to 60 minutes of exercise, four to six times per week. Joining a gym or exercising with friends might be a good way to keep you motivated.  Keep in mind that any exercise is better than none at all. Consider minor behavior modifications that can improve your cardiovascular health and strength, such as choosing parking spaces farther from the entrance of your workplace or the site of your errand, walking to accomplish tasks whenever possible, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

Consume enough calories by taking into account how many you burn during your workout. Women require between 1800 and 2000 calories per day to maintain their health. If you are burning 300 to 500 calories during your workout, you need to eat more throughout the day. Eat protein-rich foods both before and after your weight-training workout. Protein builds muscle mass; carbs give you energy and help the protein find your muscle cells. The need to eat often may be one of the more enjoyable aspects of muscle gain for many, but be careful. Keep an eye on how many snacks you are eating, and what kind of food it is. You can get many of the muscle-building nutrients you need from regular food, but protein shakes are an acceptable substitute. Sugars are fatty and only supply you with energy in the short term, so shy away from sweet empty calorie snacks.  Eat well and often between larger meals. Snacking keeps your metabolism going, allowing you to burn more calories when you're not working out. Whey protein shakes are a healthy post-workout meal that help build your muscle mass.

Consume foods that are rich in dietary fiber, such as leafy vegetables, oats and bread products made with whole grains. As part of the digestive process, fiber is used to sweep fats, toxins and other waste products out of the body. More fiber means more efficient digestion, which can help you metabolize more calories and cut down on fat storage in the future.  Broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots, bananas and raspberries, along with things like oatmeal and whole wheat bread in moderation, all make great sources of dietary fiber.  Avoid sugary processed food items like sweetened breakfast cereals and snack crackers, even if they claim to be made with whole grains. High protein offerings should comprise a substantial part of your normal food intake. Choose lean meats like skinless grilled chicken, steak and fish, along with protein sources that also contain healthy fats, like eggs, nuts and legumes. When you supply your body with protein, it enables it to build and maintain lean muscle mass, which burns calories, makes you feel stronger and more energetic and improves your overall appearance.  The average adult needs somewhere from 50-70g of protein per day. Most of this should be received from natural food sources.  Take a protein supplement, like a shake or bar, along with your regular meals if you’re having meeting your protein requirements. Calorie dense foods that offer no real nutritional value are largely to blame for making cellulite worse. Say no to fast food meals, processed sugar products (candy, soda, sports drinks, etc.) and excessive carbohydrates like bread, pasta and potatoes.

Contact a doctor immediately if your skin is blistering from sunburn. This is a sign of severe sunburn that should be treated with personal medical advice, and the blisters put you at risk of infection. While waiting for an appointment, or if your doctor does not recommend any specific treatment, follow the precautions and general advice below. If your sunburn is serious, blistering "bubbles" of the skin may form. Do not attempt to pop them, and try to avoid rubbing or scraping them. Popped blisters can lead to infection and scarring. If you absolutely cannot function with the blisters intact, visit a doctor and ask to have them popped in a safe, sterile context. Wash your hands with soap and water before adding or changing dressings to prevent infection. Small blisters can be covered with an adhesive bandage (plaster), while larger ones can be covered with a gauze pad or surgical dressing, taped gently into place with medical tape. Change the dressing daily until the blister has gone. Consider using an antibiotic ointment (such as polymyxin B or bacitracin) on your blisters if you suspect infection. Infection might manifest as a foul smell, yellow pus, or extra redness and irritation around the skin. Ideally, visit a doctor to receive a diagnosis and advice specific to your symptoms. Note that some people are allergic to these ointments, so do a "patch test" on an unaffected area first and make sure you don't have a bad reaction. Do not tear off the flaps of skin left over from broken blisters. You'll shed them soon enough; don't risk irritating your skin even more now.

Contact emergency medical services or take the person to a local hospital if you suspect alcohol poisoning, even if the person isn’t exhibiting signs or symptoms of the condition. This can ensure that the person doesn’t develop any other serious conditions or die, and get the necessary treatment to overcome alcohol poisoning.  Avoid driving if you’ve consumed alcohol. Instead, call 911 or a taxi to take you to a hospital. Provide emergency medical services or doctors any information that may help them treat you or the person. This includes the kind of and amount of alcohol consumed, as well as when it was consumed.  If you are worried about getting medical help for someone because you are drinking while underage, put those concerns aside and call for help. While you might be afraid of getting in trouble with the police or your parents if you are not old enough to drink, not getting help can have much more serious consequences, including death. While you’re waiting for emergency personnel or to arrive at a hospital, monitor the person you suspect has alcohol poisoning. Watching symptoms and bodily functions can help you stave off more serious consequences or death as well as allow you to provide information to medical personnel. If you are with someone who is unconscious as a result of alcohol, stay with her. This can ensure that she doesn’t vomit and choke or stop breathing.  Avoid forcing the person to vomit, which could cause her to choke.  Roll the person on her side, into the recovery position, if she’s passed out, which can minimize the risk of choking on vomit. If the person you suspect has alcohol poisoning is vomiting, try and keep him sitting upright. This can minimize the risk for choking or even death.  Place the person on his side in the recover position if he needs to lie down so that he doesn't choke.  Try and keep him awake to minimize the risk of losing consciousness.

Contact the airline you are planning to fly with to check if you can transport your cat in the airport cabin in carrier under the seat in front of you. Avoid transporting your cat in the cargo or luggage hold if possible.  Most airlines will allow you to take your cat on the plane in the cabin area for a small fee. Try to call the airline well in advance of your flight, as there is a limited number of animals allowed in the cabin during a flight. Some airlines restrict how many pets can travel in the cabin on a particular flight. Booking your flight early will ensure there is a spot for your cat. When choosing your seat, keep in mind you will not be able to sit in an exit row or against the bulkhead, as there must be a seat in front of you for the carrier. The airline should be able to provide you with the exact dimensions of the space under the airline seat. This will dictate the size of your transport carrier for your cat. Most airlines will accept either hard-sided carriers or soft-sided carriers. Soft-sided travel carriers are easier to slide under the airline seat space. But only certain brands of soft-sided carriers are allowed by certain airlines. So check which types and brands are permitted in the cabin before you buy a carrier. A month before your trip, feed your cat in the carrier so he associates it with a positive activity. Play with your cat in the carrier and allow him to lounge or rest in the carrier. This will make it seem as welcoming as possible. This will help him get more comfortable with the carrier and ensure it becomes part of his routine. Practicing getting in and out of the carrier will be good preparation for the security checks, when your cat will need to get in and out of the carrier on command. You will need to ask your vet for vaccination records for your cat and a health certificate for travel. These documents are required by the airline to allow your cat to fly.  Your vet should give you a health certificate that confirms your cat is in good health and free of parasites. All...

Depending on the levels of radon and your home’s construction, a reduction system can cost between $800 and $1,500. Some techniques work to reduce the amount of radon entering your home, while others focus on removing radon already in the air. Work with your contractor to choose the best techniques for the levels of radon in the space as well as your budget. Ask the contractor to prepare a contract that details the strategy you have chosen, then review and sign it before any work begins.  If the levels in your home or office are 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or higher, you should take steps to reduce the radon. Unfortunately, there are no symptoms of radon exposure until it leads to lung cancer, so rely on the radon test results to determine if you need to take action. After the contractor is finished making adjustments and installations, ask them to walk you through the system. Ask questions if you need clarification and write down any instructions or pertinent information the contractor provides. Radon reduction equipment should be clearly labeled and must have a warning device that alerts you of malfunctions. Many strategies to reduce radon can impact your heating and cooling bills due to increased ventilation. Fans and other equipment may also raise your electric bill. Speak to the contractor about how much of an increase you can expect. Keep in mind that removing radon from your home can significantly lower your risk of lung cancer, so the extra cost is worthwhile. Periodically check on the equipment to ensure it is operating correctly. Contact your contractor if there are any issues or malfunctions. Also, fans need replaced about every 5 years, and filters, like...

Continue to take the antibiotics your doctor prescribes you, according to the directions you have been given. If you do not take the antibiotics as directed, you could become sick again. If you notice changes in your condition, experience pain, etc., then talk to your doctor. In particular, leprosy patients are susceptible to certain complications:   Neuritis, silent neuropathies (nerve damage without pain), pain, burning, tingling, and sudden numbness may occur. This can be treated with corticosteroids. If left untreated, it can cause permanent injury and loss of function. Iridocyclitis, or inflammation of the iris of the eye can also occur. If does, you will need to see an eye specialist right away. It can be treated with special drops, but permanent damage can result if it is left untreated. Orchitis, or inflammation of a testis can also occur. It can be treated with corticosteroids, but let your doctor know immediately if you notice this symptom, as sterility can result. Ulcers on the foot can result from leprosy. You doctor can develop a treatment plan to reduce this problem using splints, special footwear, and dressing of the wounds.  The nerve damage and skin problems associated with leprosy can cause disfiguration and loss of function in the hands and feet. Plans to prevent and/or manage these symptoms, specific to your case, can be provided by your physician. Leprosy can cause numbness. If this happens, you might not notice when the numb area is in pain, and you might harm the area without realizing it. Be extra cautious to avoid injuries like burns and cuts on these affected areas. Wearing gloves or special footwear can protect you if you have numbness in your extremities. Keep track of your progress as you recover, and note any symptoms you have. Continue to see your doctor for monitoring, and be sure to ask any questions you may have.

Contrary to popular belief, keeping lovebirds as a single pet is not frowned upon by breeders and experts so don’t be too concerned about purchasing more than one lovebird at a time. In fact, introducing another lovebird to your lovebird at a later date can be dangerous, as the older lovebird may try to harm or kill the new bird. Another risk of keeping more than one lovebird is that the birds will want to bond with each other, rather than you, their owner.  If you do want to keep more than one lovebird at a time, introduce the bird when they are both very young. Groups of lovebirds create social hierarchies, so there is one alpha bird and every bird follows the alpha. Another common myth is that lovebirds can be mean or aggressive, especially female lovebirds who are marking their territory or their cage. Most breeders agree that male lovebirds make better pets, though males can also show territorial behavior and chirp at any fingers that enter their cage. Most lovebirds, male and female, have mild temperaments. To counteract any aggression from them, it’s important that you train your lovebird to prevent nipping. There are many different breeds of lovebirds, but the three most popular breeds are:  Peach-faced lovebirds: These little birds are the most commonly kept breed. They stand at 5-inches tall, with green and blue plumes, and have a rosy colored face. Peach-faced lovebirds have been bred into hundreds of color mutations, from pure white albino birds to deep purple birds. Masked lovebirds: This breed has eye-rings, a black mask, an orange beak, yellow chest feathers, and green wings. Some breeders consider masked lovebirds more aggressive than the two other more common breeds. Fischer’s lovebirds: Also known as eye-ring lovebirds, as they have a white ring around their eyes. They are smaller than peach faced and masked lovebirds and have a distinct, high pitched chirp. Most breeders agree that Fischer’s are more aggressive than the peach-faced lovebirds or masked lovebirds. Most local pet stores have...

Contrary to popular belief, this step is mandatory. You do not have the option to choose whether you want to draw a card. If you have a basic Pokémon in your hand, you can place that Pokémon in your bench. This can be done as many times as you want. There can be up to five Pokémon on your bench, unless a card on the field says otherwise. You can attach one Energy card per turn (unless a card on the field says otherwise) by placing it underneath one of your Pokémon, below all pre-evolved forms. These cards have descriptions of their effects on the card itself, and let you do lots of helpful things. Different types of Trainer cards are Items, Supporters, Tools, and Stadiums. You can activate any number of Item and Tool cards during your turn, but only one Supporter and Stadium. After they are used, they go to the discard pile. A Pokémon Tool can be attached to one of your Pokémon that doesn't already have a tool attached to it. They stay there with the Pokémon until the Pokémon gets knocked out, at which point they both get discarded. When you play a stadium, it is placed horizontally between both player's fields. It is discarded when a new stadium from your opponent comes into play. There are also special energy cards used to provide energy and do something else special that is said on the card. If you have evolution cards for a Pokémon that is active or on your bench, you can evolve the Pokémon by placing that card on top of it. A Basic evolves into a Stage 1, and a Stage 1 into a Stage 2. You can't evolve a Pokémon on the first turn it is played, either by benching them or evolving them, unless using an effect. You also can't evolve Pokémon on your first turn. Some Pokémon have abilities which can be used for special effects.These are listed on their cards. To retreat a Pokémon is to switch it out for another Pokémon on your bench. Usually, you will have to pay a retreat cost by discarding energy attached to that Pokémon. The retreat cost will be listed on the bottom of the card. You can only retreat once...

Controllers often do not know they're controlling. In fact, many controllers feel as though they are being controlled, which may explain why they feel the need to be so assertive. If you are dealing with a spouse who is habitually over-controlling, you will most likely have to convince them that they are controlling, which may take some time.  Be as respectful as possible when having this conversation. If you want to save your marriage, you should not attack your spouse's character. Instead, focus on the kinds of actions or situations that upset you. Use as many examples as possible in explaining what you mean by "controlling." Once you have a conversation with your spouse about their controlling behavior, you will need to make it very clear what you are willing to tolerate. Explain to your spouse in as much detail as possible what kind of behavior needs to be corrected.  You may want to make a list of the biggest problems and brainstorm with your spouse about specific things you can do to avoid those problems in the future. Keep in mind that there is a chance your spouse will think you are controlling as well, so be open to listening to any boundaries that they might propose. Your spouse may need to be reminded of your limits every so often, so it's a good idea to decide what kind of behaviors warrant consequences and what those consequences will be. This should only apply to major offences that cannot be addressed in any other way.  For minor offences, your spouse may benefit from a simple reminder of your boundaries. Don't overuse consequences. Withholding privileges or affection as a consequence for the tiniest offence is what controlling people do! Your consequences may have to be quite serious. For example, you may decide that you will move out of the house if your spouse does not make an effort to treat you with respect over the next month. If your spouse is unwilling to acknowledge the controlling behavior, or if the two of you are unable to correct the issues on your own, consider seeking...

Conversation groups abound and are usually easily found with a simple Internet search or phone call to your local civic center or library. Train your ears to pick out what is being said. Even if you don't understand it, try to repeat what was said so you can begin to pick it apart and develop comprehension. Lots of Japanese people want to learn English, so you may be able to find some who are willing to help you in exchange for help in English. Simply having friends to trade notes with can help everyone improve their abilities.  Do things with your friends that involve language but aren't "study time." If your Japanese friends haven't lived in your country very long, show them around town. Go sightseeing. Remember, you have to blow off steam regularly or you'll get stressed out about all those Kanji you have to memorize. Having fun is the best way to accomplish two goals at the same time. On the days when you don't have outings, call up a friend every day and have a half-hour conversation during which you speak only Japanese. The more practice you get, the faster you will improve. Whether it's the newspaper, a novel, a movie, or a show, read or watch Japanese language media every day. There is lots of TV content on the internet, from comedy to game shows to drama. Find something which fits your interests and learning will be much easier. Japanese newspapers will expose you to the most practical vocabulary and grammar. As you improve, read novels, which will give you a warmer style of writing. Mix things up by watching classic Japanese films and anime without subtitles, or with Japanese character subtitles. Comic books (Manga) can make good reading material, but be aware that the level of sophistication varies greatly. A more mature, literary comic might be good practice (especially since the illustrations help you understand what you are reading), something intended for smaller children is likely to be full of sound effects and slang. Be careful about repeating what you've read in a comic book. This is simply...

Conversationally fluent allows you to just focus on speaking Spanish rather learning how to also write and listen. It can be overwhelming to undertake the Spanish language in its entirety. Being conversationally fluent allows you to connect with others while expressing the gist of your ideas. Everyone will have a different motivation for learning the language but you do not want to make it feel like work. Whether you are learning the language for a trip or your career, you want to have fun and motivation to fuel your drive. Learning Spanish may be difficult and frustrating so find any motivation you can to get you through any mental blocks. Don’t limit yourself to just one thing. Find as many reasons to feel impassioned as you can. Based on your motivations, think about what the most important phrases you will need to start than work out from there. Think about expressions and words that you need to immediately master to best describe yourself and connect with others. Start with phrases about your personal history, family, friends, hometown, education, or career.  Continue to add to your list as you begin to speak Spanish and encounter situations that will help you in the future. The first 100 words of your list will be words that you will always use like yes, no, where, when, etc. Fill out the rest of your list with words specific to you and your experience. Conversational Spanish is different from the written language. Conversational connectors add space and let your bridge ideas with phrases. Only use one or two connectors to begin with as it is extremely difficult to memorize all of them at once. Simply use enough to get you through a conversation and, as you begin to gain more confidence with the language, incorporate more into your everyday vocabulary. They can range in a variety of categories but focus on:  Filler ex “well, as a matter of fact…” Quoting ex “recently, I heard that…” Apologising ex “Don’t be upset, but...” Agreeing/Disagreeing ex “most certainly” Passing ex “and what do you think?”...

Convert mixed numbers into improper fractions by multiplying the integer by the denominator and adding the numerator to the product. Convert integers into improper fractions by placing the integer over a denominator of “1.”  Example: 8 + 2 1/4 + 2/3 8 = 8/1 2 1/4; 2 * 4 + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9; 9/4  Rewritten equation: 8/1 + 9/4 + 2/3 Implement any of the methods used for finding the LCD of common fractions, as explained in the previous method sections. Note that for this example, we will be using the “listing multiples” method, in which a list of multiples is created for each denominator and the LCD is identified from these lists.  Note that you do not need to create a list of multiples for 1 since any number multiplied by 1 equals itself; in other words, every number is a multiple of 1. Example: 4 * 1 = 4; 4 * 2 = 8; 4 * 3 = 12; 4 * 4 = 16; etc. 3 * 1 = 3; 3 * 2 = 6; 3 * 3 = 9; 3 * 4 = 12; etc. The LCD = 12 Instead of multiplying the denominator alone, you must multiply the entire fraction by the digit required for changing the original denominator into the LCD.  Example: (12/12) * (8/1) = 96/12; (3/3) * (9/4) = 27/12; (4/4) * (2/3) = 8/12 96/12 + 27/12 + 8/12 With the LCD determined and the original equation changed to reflect the LCD, you should be able to add and subtract without difficulty. Remember to simplify the fraction at the end, if possible. Example: 96/12 + 27/12 + 8/12 = 131/12 = 10 11/12

Cook rice cereal, then add mashed banana to the cereal at the end. To make your own baby rice cereal, grind up brown rice in a clean coffee grinder. In a small saucepan, boil 8 ounces of water. Add 1/4 cup of the rice powder to the water, stirring briskly. Let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring while it cooks. If it is too thick, you can add formula or breast milk to think it out. It's too thick if it's hard to spoon out of the dish. Just like banana, all you need to do with avocado is to clean the utensils and the fruit. Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher, and add in the banana. Mix to combine. A one-to-one ratio works fine, though really, it's fine to have more of one or the other. Begin with plain yogurt. Add in mashed bananas. You can also add in pureed strawberries, if your baby is not allergic to them, and wheat germ, though check with your doctor to see if your baby should be eating gluten. Make oatmeal from oat powder, and mix in the mashed banana. To make oatmeal for your baby, start out by grinding oatmeal in a clean spice grinder. Bring a cup of water to boil on the stove, and add 1/4 cup of the oat powder. Let it simmer on low for 10 minutes, while stirring to keep it from sticking. To thin it out, add breast milk or formula. Make sure your spinach is fresh and cleaned. You can use the pre-washed spinach, though you can wash it again if your prefer. Puree a small handful of spinach with 2 bananas in a blender. Serve as you would regular banana baby food. Try a one-to-one ration. Boil or steam a sweet potato until it is soft. Take off the peel. Mash it with fork or puree it in a blender. Add in the mashed banana once it cools.

Cook the rice the day before, or use leftover rice in the refrigerator. The important thing to remember is not to heat up the rice, but keep it cold. Having the rice cold helps it not stick. Take the rice out of the refrigerator right before you start to cook. Choose any long-grain rice for the egg fried rice. Jasmine, white, or wheat work well in this recipe. Basmati also works, but the flavor will be masked by the other flavors. Before you begin, beat the egg and sesame oil together in a small bowl. Set it aside for now. Heat oil in the wok until it's starting to smoke. Pour in the peas and carrots and onions. Stir-fry until they start to brown and get tender.  Stir-frying is a cooking method where small pieces of food are quickly cooked in a small amount of hot oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Stir-frying veggies retain their color, crunch, and nutrients. Cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender.  Any vegetables work in fried rice. Try tomatoes, broccoli, onions, bean sprouts, carrots, peas, green beans, red or yellow pepper, baby corn, or scallions. Pour the rice into the vegetable stir-fry. Continue stir-frying the rice and vegetable mixture for 3-4 minutes. Using a spatula, slide the stir-fry mix to the side. Pour the egg into the empty spot of the wok and scramble with the spatula. When the egg is cooked, mix into the rice and vegetable stir-fry.  An alternate way to scramble the egg is to slide the rice and vegetables to the side and pour the egg into the wok. Let the egg set for 10 seconds, then use a chopstick to swirl the edges before using the spatula to stir into the entire mixture. Continue frying for another minute.  To make the recipe vegan, simply remove the eggs and substitute fried tofu or another source of vegetable protein. Pour soy sauce on top of the mixture and stir in as you finish frying. You can also stir in a small amount of sesame oil. Transfer to a plate and serve.

Cookies with lighter dough will change color as they cook. The centers may remain a soft golden hue, while the edges may turn more dark gold or light brown. Make sure to remove the cookies before the edges turn dark brown or they'll be burnt. For example, you can test the doneness of peanut butter, oatmeal, and other drop cookies by using this method. If you've topped your cookies with brown sugar or streusel, then check to see if its coloring has changed. The topping should look golden in appearance. If you wait too long to remove your cookies, the topping can burn and turn dark brown. If your bar cookie recipe calls for placing the topping on towards the end of baking, you'll need to keep close watch on the crumbles to make sure they don't burn. The cookie's interior is usually fully cooked by this point. Cookies that contain small amounts of flour, like fudge ecstasies, show their doneness by cracking open at the center and along the edges. It's helpful to look at a photo of a done cookie before baking, so that you'll know what to expect. With these types of cookies, you'll see more firmness and an almost dull color. When a light-colored cookie is done, it should hold its shape. However, it may look a bit puffy or soft in the center, too. This is normal and simply means that the cookie may continue baking on the sheet and rack once removed from the oven. Taking cookies out of the oven at this stage will make them softer and chewier. Whereas, overcooking can create brittleness. In many cases, when darker cookies begin to deepen noticeably in color it means that they are already overdone. To avoid this, it's best to check for doneness using physical methods, not visual ones.
