Soy milk will usually begin to curdle even if you do not heat it, but to create the maximum amount of curds, you should pour the milk into a saucepan and heat over medium heat until it starts to steam. Soy milk curdles more easily than standard whole dairy milk, but if you add an acid to the soy milk without heating it first, the resulting curds will be smaller and less firm. Moreover, they will also take longer to form. If you only need the soy milk to sour or become grainy and do not need actual curds, you can skip the heating portion of this method, though. Whisk in an acid, like lemon juice, to thoroughly incorporate it. You should notice some curds beginning to form already.  Lemon juice is the recommended acid of choice for curdling soy milk. On average, you will need about 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of lemon juice for every 1 cup (250 ml) of soy milk.  Note that adding more acid will cause more prominent curds to form while adding less acid will cause smaller curds or grains to form. Remove the saucepan from the heat, if applicable. Let the acid and soy milk combination stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. If you heated the soy milk before adding the vinegar, you should notice curds beginning to form. If the curds have not reached the desired size or consistency yet, you can let the milk sit longer or return it to the heat for a few minutes. If using the soy milk curds for vegan cheese or another similar recipe, you should strain the curds through cheesecloth to separate them from the liquid whey.  Note that you may need to let the whey drain for several hours to a day, depending on how runny your curdled milk is when done. If you do not need to separate the curds from the whey, you can use the curdled soy milk without straining it.

Soy waxes mix well with scents and colors and are often naturally composed from soybean oil, although some are mixed with the potentially toxic paraffin—always check the ingredients! Beeswax is completely natural, although it doesn't mix well with other fragrances.  If you have leftover wax from old jar candles, use a spoon to dig out the wax and divide them up by scent.  Paraffin waxes are classic candle-making waxes that easily mix with other scents and colors. However, they are petroleum byproducts, meaning they are potentially toxic—avoid using these waxes whenever possible. If you have larger pieces of wax, take a small, sharp knife and cut your wax up into pieces. Each piece should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide or less. If you're wax is in pellet form, you can skip this step. Knowing the melting point of your wax before heating it will give you the best results. Never approach the flash point, as this is the temperature that the wax can combust if exposed to flame.  Beeswax has a melting point range of 144 to 147 °F (62 to 64 °C) and a flash point of 400 °F (204 °C). Soy wax melts within the 120 to 180 °F (49 to 82 °C) range depending on the specific blend. Flash points are variable—check the label or supplier. Paraffin wax melts above 99 °F (37 °C) and has a flash point of 390.2 °F (199.0 °C) without additives and 480.2 °F (249.0 °C) with additives.

Speak to your doctor or your pharmacist on a regular basis to ensure your medications are doing their job.  Also check with either your doctor or pharmacist every time you get a new prescription or over-the-counter medication to ensure you will not experience any negative drug interactions. Make an appointment with an audiologist at least once a year to check your hearing.  If your hearing has changed since your last appointment, make sure to get or upgrade your hearing aid accordingly. Go through your home and remove any hazards that might cause injuries or falls.  Make sure all the parts of your home have enough lighting.  Ensure the bannisters on all your stairs are sturdy and safe.  And install grab bars and handles in places where slips and falls may happen (e.g. shower, bath tub, etc.). The CDSMP that was developed by Stanford University is now used by public health departments and other health agencies across North America and Europe.  This program will help you develop coping strategies if you have any kind of chronic disease, such as diabetes, arthritis, or heart disease.

Speaking with your healthcare provider means letting them know more about the symptoms that you’re experiencing as well as the condition history.  Remember, your doctor can diagnose the condition better if you’re detailed and do not leave any symptoms out. Be aware that your doctor may refer you to a specialist in neurology, surgery, orthopedics, or rheumatology, if needed for diagnosis or treatment. Your physician will want to assess your wrist and hand. They will press on points to find out if there is any pain or numbness in the area. They will also check for swelling, sensation, and weakness. If the pain is intense, additional tests may be needed to rule out other health conditions.  A pre-assessment where they look over the area visually is required to give indication and direction for further tests. Your doctor may also perform Phalen's test or other carpal tunnel tests in the office. Blood samples may be requested to rule out additional medical issues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, a thyroid issue, or other underlying medical problems. By ruling out these problems, your physician can better diagnose the problem. Once blood tests rule out other medical problems, additional imaging tests may be needed. Imaging tests, such as an X-ray or ultrasound, may be requested by the physician or you can request them yourself. By having these imaging scans performed, you can be in a better position to diagnose the problem and treat the symptoms.  X-ray is usually used only to aid in the diagnosis or rule out other causes of pain (such as fractures and arthritis). Your doctor may use ultrasound to visualize the structure of the median nerve in your hand. An electromyogram is a test during which multiple fine needles are inserted into the muscles to measure electrical discharges. This test can determine if there is muscle damage and it can rule out other conditions. A mild painkiller can be administered prior to the test to reduce pain. This medical conductivity test is used to detect how the nervous system is...

Spearmint tea affects the amount of male hormone in your body, so if you drink it enough, you might see less facial hair growth.  Studies published in scientific journals like Phytotherapy Research have found that women who drank spearmint tea reduced the amount of testosterone (male hormone) flowing through their blood streams. This reduction in testosterone led to less unwanted hair growth. Consume 2 cups of spearmint teas for a minimum of 5 days per week. Visit your dermatologist to get a prescription for a hair inhibitor. Hair inhibitors are plant-based products that change the structure of hair follicles so that the hair grows thin and soft and eventually it does not grow at all.  Apply the cream to the areas of your face where you want to reduce hair growth. The cream will remain on your skin. Follow the instructions that accompany the product to determine frequency of use. Hair growth inhibitors can be used in conjunction with other hair reduction methods such as threading, waxing and tweezing. Results may take 4 to 6 months. It costs about $100 for a supply that will last you two months. This herb slows down facial hair growth. In addition to turning it into tea, you can find it in capsule form. With any natural herbs, it's a good idea to check with your doctor first.  To make the tea, you need 20 grams of dry black cohosh root, 4 1/4 cups of water, and a teaspoon of honey. Boil the water and root, and then let it simmer for 30 minutes. Strain it. Put the honey into the concoction. Drink three times a day. You will need to refrigerate the liquid. Higher dosages of the tea can cause side effects, and it shouldn't be used if you have liver disease or cancer, so it's best to see a doctor before you try this regimen. Sometimes hair will grow more because of a hormone issue, such as during menopause. This is a condition that should only be diagnosed by a doctor.  Sometimes doctors will prescribe birth control pills to help address such issues.Some underlying medical conditions can cause facial hair growth,...

Special needs children can have difficulty following instructions and remaining on task. You can help the child focus on a task by sitting down with them and laying out the instructions for an activity or a task slowly and clearly. Maintain eye contact when you do this and make clear facial expressions. Do not talk too fast or too loudly at the child. Some special needs children have difficulty reading facial expressions as well as verbal or physical cues. You may want to try drawing out the instructions for an activity or a task to show the child how the activity will be done. You can do this using very basic drawings, such as stick figures, or a more comic strip style drawing, with more detailed figures. The child can then look at the drawing and better understand how to do an activity or a task. It can also be helpful to observe how the child communicates with those around her and with you. Some children with special needs have difficulty verbalizing their discomfort or their needs. They may use physical cues instead, such as touching your arm or waving their hands at you. Some children may prefer making facial gestures at you to show that they need something or are trying to figure out how to do a certain action.  If you are taking care of a child with special needs temporarily, you should discuss the child’s preferred communication cues with her parents before she is under your care. Most parents are aware of their child’s cues and are good sources of information on how to best communicate with the child. Avoid pushing, poking, or shouting at the child, as these communication cues will often scare the child or cause her more distress. Aggressive actions toward the child should be avoided, as they are usually not effective. If you are not sure how the child prefers to communicate, you may try auditory, visual, and tactile cues. You may try repeating certain words or phrases to help calm the child down if she is acting up. Singing these phrases in a low voice, for example, singing “be quiet please”, can...

Specializing can definitely help you land a gig -- if you're an expert martial artist, gymnast, or rock climber, that's great. But the more you know how to do, the more likely you'll be to wow stunt coordinators and to be perfect for roles that require multiple skills. If you want to be a stunt man, then chances are, you're already experienced in a field or two. Here are the most common skills that stunt men can possess:   Fighting: Expert level skills in boxing, combat, or a martial art.  Falling: The ability to fall from a variety of heights, some of which are over three stories high, and the ability to use trampolines.  Riding and driving: High-level skills as a precision driver of cars or motorcycles, or expert level horseback riding skills.  Agility and strength: Superior gymnastics or rock-climbing skills.  Water skills: High level skills in scuba diving, underwater stunts, or advanced swimming.  Miscellaneous sport: A superior skill level in tumbling, fencing, or wirework. If you want to sound like you know what you're talking about when you start your career as a stunt man, then you have to know the terms associated with the career. If a stunt director starts talking about wirework and you have a blank look on your face, you won't get very far. Here's what you need to know:   Wirework: The ability to expertly use rigs, harnesses, and vests to perform aerial stunts, which include flying or falling action sequences.  Tumbling: Performing gymnastics feats safely without using specialized equipment. These include front and back handsprings, somersaults, shoulder rolls, break falls, dive rolls, round-off back and front handsprings, and cartwheels.  High falls: The ability to fall from three stories or higher, while landing on a box catcher or an airbag, without hurting yourself. You should be familiar with a variety of falls, such as twisting falls, headers, and step outs.  Swordplay: Skillfully using swords, foils, or blades while in combat. This includes fencing or choreographed fight scenes.  Horsework:...

Spend a day tracking the sun as it travels over your garden or the spot you’d like to use. Many plants thrive with lots of sun, so look for shady trees or overhangs that may limit the sun. Additionally, notice if the shadow of your house or other large structures falls across your garden for part of the day, as this can limit the amount of sunlight that your plants receive. Once you know where the sunny spots are, you can ensure that your plants get enough sun.  If the plants you choose require full sun, make sure that your garden will get at least five hours of direct sunlight each day.  Consider choosing a new spot for your garden if it doesn’t get proper sun. Alternatively, you can try adding more plants that thrive in the shade or in part sun. Your plants need dead plants and other rotting organic debris to break down in the soil so that the plants can absorb the nutrients. In addition to allowing dead leaves to stay in the garden, you can also buy fertilizer or compost material, or you can create your own compost pile with dead leaves and food scraps.  If you clean up your garden, add the material to your compost pile. Avoid putting debris with weed seeds into your compost. You need to give your plants enough water to meet their needs. Since the plants are outside, they may also be getting rain water. Adjust your watering schedule to account for the rain. Your soil should be moist but not soaked.  With an outdoor garden, you can get a sprinkler system to ensure that they are regularly watered. Don’t water your garden if it rained that day. If a heavy storm comes through, allow the soil to dry some before you resume watering. If you live in a dry climate, give newly planted plants extra water for the first few weeks they’re in the ground. Plants have different life cycles and growing speeds, so they require different pruning times. Prune your flowering plants after they have flowered to remove spent blooms and shape for next season. Prune any trees that you have during the winter, but remove dead limbs...

Spend a half hour or so zoning out to give your conscious mind a rest. Play solitaire, meditate, or do some other activity that doesn’t require hard thinking. Even though you’re not aware of it, giving your conscious mind a break can give your subconscious some room to make innovative connections. Nothing worthwhile is achieved by passive consumption. Do something productive related to the type of genius you want to cultivate every day.  If you want to be an exceptional musician, practice your instrument as much as possible. If you want to be a great novelist, try to write a story every day. As Thomas Edison said, “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.”  Consider the well-known 10,000 hour rule. In order to master something, you need lots of regular, deliberate practice. It doesn’t mean anyone can do anything if they practice long enough. Rather, if you have a natural ability, you need to work hard at honing your talent. Do your best to write down a journal entry every day. Keep a small pad and pen handy so you can note random ideas that you might want to explore further. Even if a random thought isn’t totally formed, writing it down will help you keep it in mind instead of just forgetting about it. Given some time, you might mull it over and bring it into focus. Eventually, it could turn into an inspiration for a work of art, an invention, or a solution to a problem at work, school, or in your personal life. The idea that a genius is a solitary, isolated figure is a myth. Inspiration and innovation don’t happen in a vacuum. Having frequent conversations with friends, family, colleagues, and mentors will expose you to a range of perspectives and give you more grist for your mill. Do your best to socialize with people outside of your comfort zone. Try starting a conversation with someone at work or school whom you don’t know very well. You could also volunteer or join a new club or activity to meet new people. Walking isn’t just a form of physical exercise. Whether outside or on a...

Spend as much time as you can with people in your life who lift you up. These might be relatives, trusted teachers, sports teammates, club members, or friends at school or in your neighborhood. Choose people you can count on to be there for you and support you. When you need a friend or a listening ear, reach out to these people. In addition to peers, you can also include adults or mentors as part of your support. If you've dealt with your parents' emotional abuse for years, it may take a toll on you and your own emotional health. Often, emotional abuse results in feeling bad about yourself or feeling worthless or unlovable. None of these things are true. Any time you catch yourself thinking a negative thought about yourself, try to come up with a positive thought about yourself instead.  For example, if you find yourself thinking, “I can't do anything right,” stop and remind yourself of something you've accomplished, like a school assignment you did well on or a personal project that you're proud of. Talk to yourself the same way that you would talk to a good friend when they are feeling down. Maybe you enjoy sports, reading, dancing, or listening to music. Try to find time to do these things as much as you can. Consider joining a club or sports team at your school where you can do the things you love with other people who share your interests. If you're a creative person, look for communities online where you can post your writing or art. Low-key activities like watching a movie or reading a book can also help you relax and feel less stressed by the negative things that are happening in your life. It's normal to feel confused or have mixed feelings when you are dealing with emotional abuse. Even if your parents treat you poorly, you may still love them and want to protect them. However, this shouldn't stop you from getting help or talking about it with someone you trust. It's possible to get help dealing with abuse and still care about your parents.

Spend some time monitoring your dog around the couch. Wait to see if your dog will stay away from the couch and go to its own furniture or space. If your dog does get on the couch, say "off" in a firm voice. Do this as soon as you see the dog on the furniture.  Avoid yelling or getting angry at the dog. Yelling will only damage your relationship with the dog. When you give the command, try pointing to the ground. This will help your dog learn the cues for getting off of the couch. Get out a dog treat and hold it in front of your dog's face right after you tell it to get off the couch. Move the treat away from the dog and lure the dog to its bed. This will encourage your dog to move off the couch and onto its own bed. You shouldn't move the dog off of the couch or it won't learn that it shouldn't be on the furniture in the first place. As soon as the dog jumps off of the couch and onto the floor, say something like "good job!" Rub the dog's ears or pet it as another reward for keeping off of the couch. If your dog prefers, get out one of its favorite toys and play together for a few minutes as a reward. Remember to be consistent with your praise. Praise the dog every time it gets back onto the floor so it learns that the couch is off limits. Buy a clicker device and get your dog excited about hearing the click. Give your dog a treat and click the device at the same time. Do this about 10 times so your dog associates the sound with a reward. Then, use the clicker to reward your dog for avoiding the couch or jumping down off of the couch.  For example, click the device when you see the dog in its own dog bed or space. Click the device as soon as you see behavior that you want to reward. This will strengthen the positive association that the dog has with staying off of the couch.

Spend some time observing the child, if possible - particularly if you are interacting with them often (as a teacher, professional, parent, relative, etc.). Get to know what helps and challenges them so that you can be prepared for difficult transitions.  Start the transition a little early so that it can go slowly, without rushing. They might want to take a little time to finish what they are doing and shift gears.  Try giving a verbal notice beforehand, such as "We're going to leave in 10 minutes. Start thinking about you want to bring in the car with you." Many autistic children are hypersensitive or hyposensitive to certain lights, sounds, touches, tastes, or smells. Understanding the child's sensory needs and sensitivities can help you set them up for success, both during transitions (when sensory experiences often change) and at other times.   For example, a child who finds the noise of the school bell uncomfortable may have a harder time transitioning as it rings. If you keep this in mind, you can help warn them that the noise is coming and perhaps provide headphones to help them avoid the unpleasant experience of hearing it. Some children may also need sensory input, sensory breaks, or an opportunity to stim freely between activities (as well as during them), to make sure their needs are met. Some students may feel calmed by the weight of a backpack during transitions or want to squeeze a stress ball or play with another fidget toy when they feel overwhelmed. It may also be helpful to provide a space and opportunity to calm down in a quiet area or calming down corner, if the child gets unusually overwhelmed.

Spend the first 2-3 paragraphs immersing your reader in the setting. First, place your character in the setting. Then, give a basic description of the place, and incorporate details to show the era. Give just enough information for your reader to paint a picture in their mind. You might start your story like this: “Esther pulled her medical text from the mud, carefully wiping the cover clean on the hem of her dress. The laughing boys sped away on bicycles, leaving her to walk the last mile to the hospital alone. The sun beat down on the rain-soaked landscape, turning the morning’s puddles into a dank afternoon haze. The heat made her want to rest, but she knew her instructor would use tardiness as an excuse to kick her out of the program.” Your problem will act as an inciting incident that triggers your plot and keeps your character reading. Think about what your character wants, and why they can’t have it. Then, create a scene that shows them encountering this problem. For example, let’s say that Esther’s class is going to get the opportunity to work with real patients, and she wants to be chosen as 1 of the students who gets to do it. However, when she gets to the hospital, she’s told she can only go in as a nurse. This sets up a plot where Esther tries to earn her spot as a doctor-in-training. Show your character working on their problem. To make your story more interesting, incorporate 2-3 challenges they face as they move toward the climax of your story. This builds the reader’s suspense before you reveal what happens. For example, Esther might go into the hospital as a nurse, look for her peers, switch her clothes, almost get caught, and then meet a patient who needs her help. The climax is the peak of your story. Create an event that forces your character to fight for what they want. Then, show your character either winning or losing. In Esther's story, the climax might occur when she’s caught trying to treat a patient who’s collapsed. As the hospital tries to remove her, she shouts out a correct...

Spend time doing activities that you really enjoy. Whether this is a favorite hobby or a new interest that you’re excited about, focusing on things that you’re passionate about is an excellent and productive distraction.  For example, if you love building things, start a new DIY project or practice woodworking. If you're a musician or artist, focus on songwriting or creating new art pieces. Learn a new language or try a new sport like boxing, fencing, or archery. Exercising releases helpful endorphins that automatically improve your mood. Go on a run, hit the gym, or just spend some time walking around outside to improve your health and happiness.  Join a group gym class to meet new people. Take a few walks with your dog, ride your bike, or swim at your local pool. Surrounding yourself with positive people who love you is a great thing to do when you’re feeling down. Make plans to meet up with a friend or spend time visiting with family members.  Have dinner with your family, or visit a museum or park with a few friends. Be open to meeting new friends to expand your friend group and support network. If you’re still feeling sad or having trouble forgetting about the girl you love, reach out to someone you trust. Talking to a family member or friend about what you’re going through will likely make you feel better, and the person you speak to may have gone through something similar and have useful advice for you.

Spending time together is a normal and expected part of friendship. Begin here as it is the best clue as to whether or not your friend is willing to make an effort in the friendship. Here are things to consider about how your friend reacts to you wanting to spend time together:  If your friend makes the time, that's a good sign. Friends make time for each other and don't act squeamish or as if they'd rather be somewhere else. Sometimes your friend may be genuinely busy and that's fine, just as long as your friend makes time to be together, when it's appropriate, such as during breaks or lunch, perhaps on a weekend, during vacation time, etc.  If your friend doesn't want to make the time or comes up with a lot of excuses every time you try, then you have a warning sign that he or she is not keen to be around you much. If you have arranged going somewhere together and your friend keeps pulling out on such arrangements, that's a telling sign too. Realize that nobody is "always busy" -- that is just an excuse showing they don't wish to prioritize you. If your friend ditches you almost all the time, and it doesn't seem like a joke, that means he/she isn't really a good friend. Tag along with them. This may seem hard but you can say, "Hey, how are things going today?" And walk with your friend. Notice his or her reaction and comfort levels. If she or he is your friend, they'll be thrilled to have you around. If she or he is not, your friend may grunt, fail to talk to you, shrug a lot and try to walk faster to get away from you. Invite your friend over and see whether or not he or she accepts the invitation. If your friend does come, is she or he being friendly with you or is she or he ignoring you and just stuffing down the cake and soda and grabbing the goodie bag while leaving early? Since you are the host or the main center of attention when it's at your place, a good friend should be spending time talking to you and being friendly. A bad friend will use the occasion to get what he or she wants out of it, then...

Spiders hide in any dark, secluded space they can find, so do your best to eliminate hiding spots in your vehicle. Throw away any garbage in your car and place all items you don't need in a plastic or reusable bag. Place the bag in the trunk and, when you have time, take it out of the car and drop it off at your home. and vacuum your car thoroughly. Spiders like to hide in dark, dirty areas. Taking the time to clean out your car can prevent spiders from finding places to live within it. Vacuum your car's floors, paying special attention to corners or any crumbs, and wipe down the interior. Try to clean out your car at least once a week to prevent infestations. Run your fingers along the rubber seals along each door and check for damage. If you notice any cracks or broken areas, hire a mechanic to repair or replace your rubber seals.  Because spiders can enter your car through small holes, rubber seals are essential for keeping spiders out. If you notice dirt or debris clogging the rubber seals, clean them with a wet washcloth to improve their efficiency. The vibrations that idling cars make disturb spiders and, while trying to escape the vibrations, may cause them to hide in your car. If possible, avoid turning your car on before you need it, particularly if your car is prone to spider infestations.  Spiders move towards, not away from, idling cars because they expect to find a "ground zero" in the car where the vibrations can't hurt them. It's comparable to seeking shelter in the eye of a hurricane. The larger your car is, the more likely that it will attract spiders while idling.

Spinach is extremely cold-hardy and fares well in these mild to cold climate zones. This cold-weather crop prefers temperatures between 35 and 75℉ (1 and 23°C). Savoyed varieties are characterized by their dark green crinkly leaves. They are best for planting in the fall because they become especially crisp in cold weather. Smooth-leafed spinach grows upright and produces leaves lighter in color than those produced by savoy spinach. It grows quickly and easily and is the perfect addition to any summer salad.

Spitting a thin stream of water can give you a good sense of the technique, in part because water is visible while air is not. Spitting while circular breathing will also more closely replicate the force you will need to produce sound on your instrument.  Fill your mouth with as much water as you can. Breathing in and out through your nose, spit the water into the sink in a thin, continuous stream. Pursing your lips around a straw will mimic the embouchure (mouth position) you use to play your instrument, so this is a good way to practice. Put a straw in a glass of water, and follow the steps for circular breathing while trying to blow in such a way that produces a constant stream of bubbles. Circular breathing may have been first developed to play the didgeridoo, most often used to produce long, sustained notes. Teachers of this instrument suggest that vocalizing can lead to a smoother process. Make a strong “HA” sound when switching from the air in your cheeks to the air in your lungs. Blowing through a straw can help with technique, but it won’t give you any sense of how it sounds. With just your mouthpiece, you’ll know if you’re producing sound without having to worry too much about its resonance or quality.  If you hear any noticeable break in the sound, you are probably waiting until one source of air is fully depleted before switching to the other one. Switch from your mouth to your lungs and vice versa the second before the one you are using runs out of air. This exercise is also helpful because it will give you a sense of how firmly you need to hold your lips for the technique to be successful.

Splash a cup of water onto the brick. If the water beads up and runs off, your brick cannot be stained. It may have a coat of sealant applied, or it may be a non-absorbent type of brick. See the next step for more information. If the brick surface does not absorb water, you may need to remove a sealant. This process will not always work, and may cause discoloration. Try the following method:  Apply lacquer thinner to a small area and let sit for ten minutes. Wipe off and test with water again. If it is absorbed, use lacquer thinner on the whole area. If the water is not absorbed, try again with a commercial brick or concrete sealer stripper. If the commercial stripper does not work, staining is not possible. Paint over the brick instead. . Saturate the brick with water first, so it cannot absorb cleaning solution. Scrub with a dilute, mild detergent from the top down to remove mildew, stains, and dirt. Rinse thoroughly from the top down, then let dry completely.  Heavily discolored bricks may require chemical brick cleaners, but these can damage the brick or mortar, or interfere with the stain. Look for gentle options, and avoid unbuffered muriatic acid in particular. If you are treating a large surface, hire a trained operator to pressure wash the surface. Unskilled pressure washing can permanently scar bricks. Make sure you mix a cleaner into the water before pressure washing. If possible, find a hardware store that will let you test samples of the stains before purchasing. If ordering online, find a kit that includes multiple colors, so you can mix them to experiment with the right shade. Choose from the following types:  Water-based brick stains are recommended for most purposes. They are easy to apply and allow the brick to "breathe," preventing water buildup. Stains pre-mixed with sealant create a watertight coat on the bricks. This can actually make water damage worse in many situations. Use these only for small areas with extreme water exposure, or very porous, damaged bricks. Wear gloves, old...

Splash your raw skin with cool water and lightly apply a gentle, scent- and alcohol-free cleanser twice each day. Cleanse more often if you notice dirt or debris on the raw areas. Pat the area dry with a clean towel to prevent further irritation. This can clear away debris or bacteria and minimize your risk of infection. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the area too harshly, which can cause irritation. Dab on a thin layer of a protective cream, lotion or ointment that is gentle as well as scent- and alcohol-free. Use products including zinc oxide, petroleum jelly, or aloe on the raw skin and surrounding area. This may help protect your raw skin and soothe any irritation. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for the best type of protective layer for your raw skin.  Apply the ointment twice per day, or more as needed. Petroleum jelly can worsen seborrheic dermatitis, so avoid using it if you have this condition. Select a non-stick or fabric bandage manufactured for sensitive skin. Apply your choice over any raw areas, securing adhesive edges to healthy skin. This can protect the area from contact with your hands or fingers, and extreme temperatures as well as irritants and bacteria, which minimize the risk of infection. If your raw skin is a result of chafing (friction), apply a powder such as alum or cornstarch to the raw areas. Reapply the powder after showers or anytime your skin is moist. This can whisk away moisture from your skin and prevent further irritation. It may also promote healing by preventing friction. Talcum powder has been tentatively linked to cancer when used on genital areas, so avoid these products until further studies have been conducted. To allow your skin to heal and protect it from further damage, keep raw skin out of the sun. Avoid the sun during peak hours, like from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wear clothing with long sleeves and pants as well a sun hat. Apply a water-resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher (only on intact, non-irritated skin) if you do need to be outdoors....

Split commissions are when more than one salesperson is involved in a sale and they share the commission. Alternatively, a regional sales manager may receive part of the commission of the salespeople in their region. In addition to a straight percentage, a commission structure also can include any number of more complicated incentives for a salesperson or other commission-earning individual. For example, if you know that your commissions were the top-scoring numbers for a department or team, you may be eligible for top-performance bonuses. Depending on your commission plan, your company may subtract money from your commission if merchandise or services you sold are returned or refunded. You may also lose commission money if payment for your services can’t be collected for some other reason (e.g., if the customer booked a service and then canceled it). For example, if you sold $30,000 worth of merchandise during your commission period, but customers return $600 worth of that merchandise, $600 may be subtracted from your commission base.

Split in half to make 2 loaves or make 1 large loaf. From this stage, cut each portion into 3 pieces. It's best to use a scale and calculator for best accuracy to ensure each portion is equal. You may also divide it into 4 for an even more attractive plait, but it's better with the big 1kg loaf to be made into a 4-plait. Gather the three together and pinch at one end, if desired you may tuck this seam underneath the finished plait. This is just like plaiting hair, otherwise you may look at the three portions as a simple pattern, folding one strand over another: ABC, BAC, BCA, CBA, CAB and so on until you run out of dough. You may mist with water and dip in seeds if you wish, or use an egg wash for an attractive finish. Ideally on a floured cloth or the baking tray. Bake 30-35 minutes for the smaller 500g loaves. You may also plait small rolls for an attractive finish, or even more attractive is to fold the plait in on itself to make a loop. Flatten the roll slightly and allow to proof.

Sponge baths can be done for the first few days. The newborn baby’s risk of hypothermia is more of a concern, especially in the first few days of life, than any issues with the cord stump. Always dry your hands well before touching the stump as you want to keep the cord stump dry, and exposed to air as much as possible. While you need to ensure it is not in contact with any dirty or unclean surfaces or substances, you also don’t want to cover it tightly with a dressing. Keep in mind the use of topical antibacterial solutions to reduce the risk of serious infections on the cord stump is still not universally accepted by medical professionals. But umbilical infections can be serious, and many practitioners continue to recommend the use of an antiseptic to keep them clean.  Effective and easily available antibacterial solutions include triple dye and chlorhexidine.  Iodine tincture and povidone-iodine are less effective. Alcohol (ethanol and isopropyl alcohol) should be avoided. The antibacterial effect of alcohol is brief and can be harmful to the baby. It can also delay the usual 7-14 days of cord drying and separation by a day or two. Only apply it to the cord stump. Try not to leave any of the antiseptic on the skin around the stump.

Put both pans in the oven and bake them until they become golden brown and begin to pull away from the side of the pan. To test if the cakes are done, insert a cake tester or skewer into the center. The tester should come out clean. If it doesn't, bake the cake for 3 to 5 more minutes and check again. Take the cakes out of the oven and set them on a wire rack to cool. Once they're completely cooled down, turn them out and put them onto the wire rack. Spread vanilla buttercream on 1 of the cakes and place the other cake on top.

Spoon the completed filling back into the potato shells. The potatoes should be full enough for the filling to rise above the edge of the shell. Repeat until each potato has been stuffed. Pack any leftover filling onto the top of the potatoes. You’ll likely have filling remaining after stuffing the potatoes. This is because adding the other ingredients changes the volume of the filling. Extra filling can be refrigerated or frozen to be used later, or simply eaten plain. As an optional step, keep a little bacon and cheese set aside to cover the potatoes before you put them back in the oven. As the potatoes bake, the toppings will form a crisp outer crust and their flavors will cook into the filling. Once the filling is done, additional toppings are up to your discretion—pile each potato with cheese and bacon to your heart’s content! Reduce the temperature of the oven to 350 degrees. Place the potatoes back in the oven and let them bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until they’re heated through. Keep an eye on the potatoes as they bake. They likely won’t need to stay in the oven long since they have already been cooked. Sprinkling a little extra cheese on the top can also be a good indicator of when the potatoes are done. Once the cheese is melted and forms a crust on the potatoes, they’re ready to eat. Remove the potatoes from the oven. The outer shell and filling will be extremely hot, so let them sit for a couple minutes before serving. If you want, you can dice a fresh green onion and use it to garnish the potatoes for added zest and color. Dig in! Some people prefer to mix in the green onions with the other filling ingredients, although this can make them chewy if they bake too long and may not please picky eaters who don’t like onions.

Spotted cats earned their name because of the broken lines in their coat patterns. This "broken" coat pattern may cause the lines to appear as spots, though this cat is still very much a tabby. The "spots" on the spotted tabby's coat can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They may be large or small, and may appear to be round, ovular, or rose-shaped. Though every spotted tabby's coat will be slightly different, some may be easily confused with a mackerel tabby. Certain spotted tabbies may have "spots" that extend from a spinal stripe, like the mackerel tabby. The difference is that a spotted tabby will still have a more blotchy or spotted appearance.

Spray down the area really well. You want the waistband to at least be damp. The water will help stretch out the fibers of the jeans. Be sure to spray both the front and back of the waistband. If you don't have a spray bottle, you can just dip the waistband area in lukewarm water, but be prepared to get water everywhere. With the jeans unbuttoned, hold part of the waistband in each hand. Pull outward as hard as you can to stretch it outward. Go all the way around the jeans.  Don't pull on the jeans when they're buttoned, as you can pull the button out. Also, grab just below the waistband and at the waistband. Stretch the jeans that way, too. You're trying to loosen up the fibers, so you want to stretch more than one direction. Don't grab onto the belt loops, as you can pull them off. You can also purchase pant stretchers that will do the stretching for you. You wrap the waistband around the stretchers, then turn the crank to stretch the pants out. If your jeans haven't stretched to your liking, you may need more muscle power. Stand on the inside of the waistband and pull up while holding onto the other side of the waistband. You can also have someone help you stretch out the jeans. They grab one side, and you grab the other. Heat from the dryer can make your jeans shrink up again. Place them flat on a towel or drying rack, and leave them there overnight to dry out. If you must use the dryer, turn it on low heat.

Spray each section with hairspray or smooth on more gel or mousse for extra hold. Do this immediately before winding the section in rollers or your curling iron. Work from the top of your head down. Put the hair in the back of your head in a ponytail while you work on the front. Wrap your front sections first if you’re using rollers. If you part your hair, roll the curls away from your part. Wind the curls in the back away from your face toward the crown of your head and the nape of your neck. Use an asymmetrical rolling pattern for a more natural look. Make tighter curls on top and bigger curls in the back for a more retro look.   Get tighter curls with smaller rollers and bigger curls with bigger rollers. If you want more curls, you should curl smaller sections of hair. Use hair clips or bobby pins. Pin each curl immediately after making it with the curling iron. Leave all rollers in your hair until you’ve put them all in. Pin your curls as you release them from the rollers. Leave your hair pinned for at least 20 minutes to let your curls set. This will also give hair time to cool if you used a curling iron or hot rollers.

Spray or wipe down cords with something distasteful to the cat. There are commercial product solutions and homemade solutions. If making your own, consider using such things as hot sauce; lavender oil; a homemade citrus or vinegar paste; garlic, cayenne pepper, Vicks, dish soap, lime juice,or chili oil or paste. Some people use a light coating of sports ointments (the really strong menthol sort) or deodorant . Be sure to let the applied substance dry completely before re-plugging the cord into the wall and you'll need to reapply homemade fixes periodically. Avoid using anything salty because cats love licking salt. Commercial products include "Chewsafe™" and "CritterCord™", which are clear, flexible protective cord covers infused with a citrus-scent to keep the cat away from the cord. These are easy to add and don't require topical re-applications. Both foil and double-sided tape can work. These can be purchased from the hardware store and are easy to wrap around the cords. With the foil tape, cats dislike the alkaline taste in their mouth and will refrain from chewing anything coated in the tape. With double-sided tape, cats hate anything sticky and won't touch it. The problem with this method is that it is sticky, and therefore tricky, and will also collect a lot of fluff for you.

Spray the inside of the boots rather than the outside to keep the leather in good condition. If you spray the outside, the leather could get discolored. Put the boots on while they are still wet from the spray to get the boots to stretch to fit your foot. These products can be bought at shoe stores, convenience stores, and online. You can usually get a small bottle for under $10. This method can work for the entire body of the boot, but it works especially well for calves that are a little too tight. Mix a 1:1 ratio of rubbing alcohol and water in a clean spray bottle. Saturate the inside of your boots with the spray, and then wear the boots until they’re completely dry.  You can repeat this method as often as you need to.  If you don’t want to wear the boots while they’re wet, use a calve-stretcher in conjunction with the spray for the best results. Submerge your boots completely in a bucket of water. Leave the boots to soak for 5 minutes. Then, put the boots on and wear them around for 30 minutes or until they have dried. While they’re drying, massage a conditioning cream into the leather to help them retain their new, stretched shape. Leather conditioning cream can be bought online, at a shoe store, or many convenience stores, usually for less than $10. This method works best for new shoes that are just a little too tight or that pinch your toes. Put on 1-2 pairs of thick socks (as many as you can wear while still being able to put on the boots), then put on your boots and walk around in them for 30 minutes at a time. After 4-5 days of doing this, your boots should be broken in and should fit better than they did before. This process can be a little uncomfortable, so do it when you’re at home and will be able to take the boots off after 30 minutes or so. Having to wear the extra socks and have that excess pressure on your feet all day long wouldn’t feel great. Put on a pair of thick socks and then put on your boots. Use a hairdryer to blow hot air on the boots for 3-5 minutes. Be careful to not apply heat...

Spray your cleaner on the bristles until they’re wet. Lather the cleaner into the stain by working the brush in small circles to loosen the stain. Wipe away the cleaner with a microfiber cloth and clean as much of the stain as you can.  Detailing brushes can be purchased from your local auto care store. Avoid skin irritation from the cleaner by wearing a pair of thin nitrile gloves. Steam cleaners use pressurized vapors to loosen dirt and penetrate the stains. Look at your local big box or home improvement stores to see if they offer rentals on steamers. Otherwise, purchase a small steam spot cleaner. Low-end steam cleaners cost around $40 USD to purchase. Use the narrow nozzle or brush attachment on your steamer. Hold it away from the stain and pull the trigger to shoot a burst of steam. Spray the entire stain so the heat and water lift it off from your headliner. Don’t oversaturate the stain with water or else you may damage the adhesive underneath the fabric. While the stain is still wet from the steam, pat it dry with your microfiber cloth. If you notice that the stain is still there, spray it with another burst of steam and work your cloth in small circles. This method works best for removing food stains or other resilient spots.

Spraying your shoes then wearing them for a few hours is a quick fix. If you only need to stretch them 1/4 to 1/2 a shoe size, a spray could do the trick. Spray solutions are also your most affordable option. There are plenty of stretching products available online or at shoe care stores. To avoid damage or discoloration, look for one labelled specifically for suede. Some are designed to be used overnight with a shoe stretching tool, so go for one marked for immediate use if you want to skip the stretching tool. Spray a light, even coat on the inside of your shoes. If necessary, use your fingers or a clean cloth to reach the nooks and crannies and to spread the solution evenly. Check your product’s instructions, as some sprays should be applied to the outside, too. There’s no need to walk around, so you can just sit at your desk and get some work done while your shoes mold to your feet. For a little more stretch, you can also put on a pair of thick socks before slipping on your shoes. If they’re still tight after a few hours, or for thicker shoes and boots, you might need to repeat the process once or twice. You can use most products as many times as you need without damaging your shoe.  However, if you've tried spraying and wearing your shoes twice with no luck, chances are you'll need a stretching tool. Check your product's instructions to make sure it's safe to use several times. Some sprays aren't meant to be used more than once in a short period.

Spread the French toast sticks onto a clean baking sheet. Let them cool down a little, then put them into a freezer and wait until they are frozen (about 1 to 2 hours). Once they are frozen, put them into a plastic, resealable bag.  Write the date on the bag so you will use them before they expire. French toast sticks will last 1 to 2 months in the freezer.  To reheat in the microwave: microwave on high for 1 minute. If it needs additional cooking, heat it at 15 second intervals.  To reheat in the oven: Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F (177°C). Flip, then bake for another 5 minutes. Place 1 cup (100 grams) of cornflakes into a sturdy, resealable bag. Smash them into a rough crumble with a rolling pin. Pour them into a bowl, then pat the soaked bread sticks into them. Bake or fry the bread sticks as usual. After you have fried or baked the French toast sticks, cut them into cubes. Spear them onto wooden skewers, alternating with blueberries, cut bananas, and raspberries. Sprinkle with icing/confectioner's and serve with maple syrup. Another classic combination is cut bananas, sliced strawberries, and French toast cubes. In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss the French toast sticks in this before serving them. Spread some chocolate-hazelnut spread over the top of each bread slice. Press the slices together, like a sandwich. Cut the slices into thirds, then continue with the recipe for the baked/fried French toast bread sticks. Omit the cinnamon, however. You can give your French toast sticks a different flavor simply by using a different type of milk or spice. Here are some ideas to get your started:  Try it with almond or coconut milk. For a festive touch, try it with eggnog instead of regular milk. Switch out the cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice. Try it with buttermilk.

Spread your fingers as far apart as you can and grip the ball using the pads of your fingers. Let the bottom of the ball rest on the base of your palm. Keep your upper arm perpendicular to the basket and parallel to the ground. Keep your non-dominant hand lightly on the side of the basketball. Your guide hand helps to keep the ball straight as you shoot it and helps you prepare your shot more. Don’t grip the ball with any fingers on your guide hand. If you move your guide hand away from the ball, it shouldn’t affect how you’re holding it in your dominant hand. Straighten your legs and push yourself off the ground to get the power needed to sink a 3-pointer. Extend your shooting arm out and forward as you lift off the ground. You don’t have to jump extremely high to make a 3-pointer unless you’re trying to shoot over another player. Flicking your wrist forward propels the ball forward and gives it a spin and an arch, making it more likely that you’ll sink your basket. Imagine you’re reaching into a cookie jar on a tall counter as you snap your wrist. Your fingers should be pointing down to the floor. Extend your arm fully, even once the ball has left your hand. Keep your wrist snapped forward and try to land in the same place you jumped from so you can maintain control of your body.

Spread your knees farther apart than you usually might, so that you have maximum access and visibility while you figure this out, or you can squat and sit like a frog on the toilet seat. Alternatively, you can stand to insert a tampon, placing one foot on a higher surface such as a toilet seat. If this works better for you, give it a shot. However, most women prefer sitting on the toilet so that any stray bleeding is contained. This is the most common hurdle first-time tampon users run into, and it can seem really daunting. Once you figure it out, though, you're set for life! Here's how to make it a little easier:  Understand your anatomy. There are three openings: the urethra (where urine exits) at the front, the vagina in the middle, and the anus at the back. If you already know where your urethra is, feel an inch or two behind it to find the opening of the vagina. Use the blood to guide you. This might sound weird, but it'll help if you're struggling. Wet a piece of toilet paper, and completely clean up all the menstrual blood in the area, from front to back (or hop in the shower and scrub down). Once everything is clear, dab yourself with a clean square of toilet paper until you find where the blood is coming from.  Ask for help. If you are really and truly lost, don't worry, as many girls before you have been here! Ask a trusted female relative––such as your mom, sister, grandma, aunt, or older cousin––to help you figure this out for the first time. Try not to feel embarrassed, and remember that every woman has been where you are now. You can also ask your doctor or nurse to help. At the midpoint of the tampon, where the smaller tube of the applicator meets the larger tube, hold it between your thumb and middle finger. Place your index finger on the end of the applicator where the string comes out. Aim toward the small of your back, and push it up a few inches until your fingers are touching your flesh. Don't worry about getting your hands dirty––menstrual blood is actually pretty clean, as far as...

Spreading out study time is crucial to success in a biology course. This technique keeps your studying disciplined and predictable.The general rule for biology courses is that you should set aside roughly two hours of study time for each hour of class. Understand what types of information you retain best. You aren't likely to have control over how the instructor lectures, but you will have control over how you study. Use this to your advantage and study the materials in the way you learn best. The recognized learning types are:  Visual - You prefer to include pictures, images, videos, etc. Auditory - You like hearing information and/or integrating music and sounds. Linguistic - You learn information when it is in the form of language (written or spoken). Kinesthetic - You are a “hands on” learner. Movement and physical touch help you retain information. Mathematical - You rely on systems of logic to learn. Interpersonal - Most of your learning occurs in a group setting. Intrapersonal - Learning alone suits you best. Research shows that cramming is ineffective. Using the same amount of study time spread over days or weeks will allow your brain to retain more information than a single cram session. Focus on one biological concept at a time, and spread out complicated processes over multiple sessions. Remember to take a study break every forty-five minutes to rest your brain.  Even just 15 minutes of studying every day can help you retain the information. Review old material each session. Use note cards for quick, on the go studying. Studying as a social activity can be very beneficial. It allows you to see different points of view on biological concepts, and different study techniques. Offer your take on things as well, you might find that you know things that others in the group have missed. In your study group, try explaining a biological process out loud to everyone while they verify what you're saying with your notes. Then, they can let you know if there are any gaps in your understanding.

Spring is the best time to take cuttings from last year’s Chrysanthemums. You should have cut these back after flowering the previous fall so they will still be quite short. Ahead of taking cuttings, move the outdoor plants into a cool indoor space such as an unheated (but frost-free) conservatory.  A temperature of about 45 °F (7 °C) is ideal. Do this in mid-winter, say around January. Water the plants once you bring them inside – in about a month they will have enough growth to take cuttings from, provided you keep the soil moist and the temperature around 45–50 °F (7–10 °C). Chrysanthemum cuttings can just be snapped off the parent plant with your fingers, or using a sharp clean knife.  Take fresh healthy stems of about 3 inches (7.6 cm) in length from as far down the plant as possible. Try to keep the cuttings uniform in length. Usually, only about a third of the cuttings will take, so it’s best to take three times as many cuttings as you want new plants. Remove the lower leaves from each stem, leaving only the ones at the very top. Take a plug tray or individual pots filled with a cutting compost or a compost and perlite mix. If using a mix, take 4 parts regular compost to 1 of perlite. You might like to sprinkle some more perlite on top of the compost trays. Before planting, dip the end of each cutting in hormone rooting powder to a depth of about half an inch on the cut end. Shake very gently to remove excess.  Use a slim stick, pencil or barbecue stick to make a hole in the compost. Put the cutting in the hole to a depth of about an inch and firm very gently with your fingers. Add a label with the name and date to the tray containing the cuttings and then water them. If you do this, insert some sticks into the soil to stop the bag from touching the cuttings.  Alternately, cut the spout off a clear plastic drinks bottle and invert it over the cutting to make a mini greenhouse. You can also put them into a heated propagator unit – this heats the cuttings from below, which may help them to root. Keep the...

Sprinkle baking soda onto a damp cloth or sponge. Wipe the surface of your whitewall tires in small, circular motions. Rinse the tires clean. Rinse the cloth and reapply baking soda every few minutes until you're satisfied with the results. To whiten your tires, try eraser cleaning pads (like Mr. Clean Magic Eraser pads). Wet both the pad and your tires and wipe the tires down in small, circular motions. For best results, rinse or replace the pads between tires. If tires remain yellowed after persistent cleaning, sand the top layer of the white part with fine, dry sand paper. Sand away the yellowed layer slowly and gently until a bright white layer emerges underneath. Rinse tires clean with the hose.

Sprint training builds upon short, powerful bursts of speed punctuated by periods of rest. It is an excellent way to build muscle, burn calories, and raise your metabolic rate. If you are short on time and you like to run fast, you may want to try sprinting.  Sprinting is a useful skill for sports that require players to move quickly and powerfully with rests in between--football, for example, or baseball. Sprinting is a leg-heavy workout. If you begin to sprint regularly, you may significantly bulk up your thighs and calves. If you're running around a track, take one lap at a walk and another at a jog. Limber up your muscles with dynamic stretches, preparing your mind and body for the oncoming sprints. Again, don't stretch now--stretch later. Warm up your core muscles and your legs with dynamic core-building exercises like lunges and deadlifts. The length of your sprint is up to you: some prefer to sprint a specific distance, and some prefer to sprint for an allotted time. As a loose rule of thumb, try to keep your sprint to 30 seconds or less.  Sprinting is interval training--meaning intervals of speed and rest. After each sprint, rest (stand in place or walk slowly) for about a minute: roughly double the time for which you were sprinting. When you rest, stay on your feet. Continue this cycle of run-and-rest for 15-20 minutes, or until you are ready to quit. Don't go too hard at first. Sprinting is intense, and you will wear out quickly until you've been at it persistently for a few weeks. Shifting your core too far forward can lead to injury, but in increments it may make you run slightly faster. Swinging your arms in loose, controlled bursts may amplify the movement of your legs.  Use your arms for momentum. Keep them in a straight line, mirroring the movement of your legs. Keep them loose and not hunched up to your shoulders.  You may find that when you lean your core slightly forward, your body runs a bit faster to balance out your weight. This can be helpful when running uphill, but it can also lead to...

Squash needs about one inch of water per week, spread out among the days. Every morning, water the squash plant thoroughly before the sun gets too strong. Water near the roots for a minute or so to give the plant a good soaking.  On days when it rains or when the soil feels moist in the morning, skip your daily watering. You don't want the plants to become waterlogged. Avoid watering later in the day or at night, since the water won't get the chance to evaporate in the sun. Water left on the plant can lead to mold growth. When the seeds sprout, thin them out so that the squash plants are at least 18 inches apart. For the rest of the growing season, they will get larger and larger, so it's wise to spread them out. If you plant on a hill, thin to the strongest two or three plants per hill. This helps to retain moisture and keeps weeds from growing up around the plants. Use a thin layer of any type of organic mulch around the base of the plants. Before mulching, use a hoe to break up any newly sprouted weeds. When the vines have grown to be about five feet long, pinch off the tips to encourage the plants to begin producing squash instead of putting their energy into growing longer vines. Check the ends of the vines and pinch off the section that juts out from the last pair of leaves. These common pests can wreak havoc on your squash plants if you don't stop them before they get out of control. Pick off insects and drop them into a pail of soapy water to prevent them from taking over your plants.  Squash vine borers are 1/2-inch long gray insects. Cucumber beetles are 1 inch long with black heads and yellow or green wings. They feed on the plant and cause the leaves to wilt and turn black. If you have a large bed of squash, you might want to consider installing row protectors to keep damaging insects away from your plants. Install when the plants are young and remove them once they begin to bloom to allow for pollination.

Stainless steel is a very common material found in most households. While it can look great, it can also become easily smudged and dull.  Rub on hair conditioner with a clean cloth to get your appliances smooth and shiny. When you are done, buff it off with a clean cloth. Before using any product on your appliances, always test an inconspicuous spot first to make sure there is no negative reaction. Remove smudges and fingerprints from stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Apply to dull faucets and golf clubs to restore shine. Hair conditioner was developed to act as a protection for your hair, but it also works as a protector on metals too. Any metal area exposed to moisture in the air is vulnerable to rust. By applying small amounts of hair conditioner from time to time, you can prevent rust from forming. Use a clean cloth to rub against surfaces that easily rust, such as drains, faucets, tools, and door hinges. When you are done, wash them clean with water. Snow and salt can eat away at leather boots, but hair conditioner can help protect them and restore moisture that may have been lost. By rubbing hair conditioner on shoe leather, it can create a protective coat that keeps salt from absorbing into your shoe which causes discoloration. Use a clean rag to work tiny amounts of conditioner into the leather, and be sure to get the entire surface. Wipe away any excess hair conditioner that doesn't absorb into the leather.

Stains and blemishes show up bright as day on white fabric, but you might be able to lessen these by applying a special protectant, like Scotchgard™. Check the tag of your pants before doing this, as you may be inadvisable to Scotchgard™ some pairs of pants. If there are no warnings on the label about pretreatment to prevent stains, apply your protectant according it its directions to your jeans to defend against stains. It is especially easy to overlook a purse or handbag, but over the course of an entire day, the ink from these might rub off on your white jeans. Dark indigo, and colors like it, are potent and transfer easily. This is especially true for new clothing. Wearing your white jeans too frequently can cause the fabric to become dull and lose some of its original luster. To prevent this from happening, you should only wear your white jeans once or twice before laundering. You might also add a whitening product or booster, like baking soda, vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide, to the wash while cleaning your white jeans. Some fabrics are treated with products before being sold to protect the quality and color of the fabric. These pretreated clothes may have special washing instructions that you should follow, but generally, you will want to wash your white jeans with similar colors in warm water. Don’t overload your washing machine. Doing so prevent your garments from rinsing all the way through. and whatever detergent remains can create yellow spots on your jeans over time. Especially if you have a favorite pair that have seen better days, if your jeans are beginning to look less bright than you'd like, try a soak in warm water with some color safe bleach added. Set a timer for about 30 minutes, rinse your jeans when time's up, and then go about drying as you normally would.

Stalking is about control.  If your partner has been trying to control you, he is more likely to continue doing so after you have broken up. Some of these signs include:  Regularly belittling you, putting you down, or discouraging your dreams and personal growth. Trying to cut you off from your friends and family. Instead, he always tries to keep you near him. Getting jealous when you do something without him, especially with others. Constantly checking up on you, wondering where you are and what you are up to. This certainly isn’t a guarantee that you will be stalked, but it can be a warning sign that your ex might try after the break-up. There should be no doubt in your mind that you have ended the relationship with this person. The important thing is that there can be no confusion that you do not want to see this person anymore.  While you may be tempted to let your ex down easily, you need to be firm and clear that you want to end the relationship. A potential stalker will use any potential opening as an excuse to continue following you, so don’t give one.  If you are fearful of the other person’s reaction, make sure to break up in a public place. While this generally isn’t a nice idea, you shouldn’t be alone if you are concerned for your safety. Your security comes first. This means phone calls, emails, texts, and any other forms of communication. Aside from cutting your ex off and not giving her a way to track you, it will also help you get past the relationship. This includes social media. Delete pictures or other items of the two of you together and block your ex. This will help prevent her from stalking you, and make it easier to move on by removing the means to stalk her in response. You and your significant other probably shared keys and other items as a way to stay close. Now that you have broken up, get your keys back. You don’t want to give her any access to you or your things. If you aren’t going to be able to get your keys back, it is a good idea to change your locks. You shouldn’t allow such...

Stand at the top of the 3-point line with your toes pointed towards the basket. Put your dominant foot 6 inches (15 cm) ahead of your other foot. This helps balance your body and gives you a firm foundation for making your shot. If you don’t feel loose or relaxed, try turning your feet at a slight angle from the basket. This could help you feel more comfortable while shooting. Keeping your shoulders squared up to the hoop will make your shots more accurate. Even if your legs are at a slight slant, always try to turn your upper body towards the hoop before you take your shot. Practice dribbling the ball and quickly turning your shoulders to face the basket. Raise the ball like you are about to take a shot. Run through this technique until you feel comfortable squaring your shoulders to the basket. Keep your knees loose and slightly bent to prepare yourself for the jump. Most of the power for your 3-pointer will come from extending your legs and jumping. While most coaches say to aim for the back of the rim, try keeping your eyes on the front rim of the basket. Imagine shooting the ball just over the rim to visualize how you want to make your shot. Look for the hooks that are holding the net in place. You should see 3 of the hooks facing you about the same width as the basketball from wherever you’re standing. Aim for the hooks.
