Creating a Minecraft server will give you a persistent world that you and your friends can play on at any time. The server will be private so that only your friends can join, and you can even install mods. This requires that you have a computer that can be on and connected to the internet at all times.  The Minecraft server files are free and can be downloaded from minecraft.net/download. Download minecraft_server.X.X.X.exe. This section will deal with creating a quick-setup Windows server. For instructions on creating a server in Linux or OS X, or for creating a server in Windows manually, click here. The Minecraft server will install all of its files into whatever folder it is run from. Create a folder on your desktop or other easy-to-access location and name it "Minecraft Server" or something similar. Copy the minecraft_server.X.X.X.exe file into this folder. You'll see a couple of files created in your folder, and then the program will close automatically. This is supposed to happen. eula.txt. You can find this file in your Minecraft Server folder. eula=fasse to eula=true. Save the changes to the file and close it.

Creating a thorough and useful self-evaluation takes time, so make sure that you schedule enough time to complete the process. If you rush through it, then you’re likely to skip over important accomplishments or growth opportunities, which makes your finished product less productive because it won’t truly reflect your career progress. It can be helpful to create an outline ahead of time. Your self-evaluation must reflect that you are meeting your self-set goals and the goals of the company at-large. Most importantly, to show your organization that you are an effective employee, you must show that you are working to meet the organizational goals. Completing a self-evaluation will show you if you are on-track to meet your career expectations because you can see if all of the hard work you are doing connects back to your goals. Based on your goals, create an inventory of all of the work you’ve done over the past year. Include things like projects you’ve completed, committees you’ve served on, and reports you’ve drafted. This list will include everything - from the client records you stapled to the committee you chaired.  Assess your work materials, such as emails and reports, for examples of your work and support for your accomplishments. These can help refresh your memory, and you could even pull quotes from these announcements. As you write down your accomplishments, think about how they fit in with your goals and use that to help with wording. For example, if your goal is to increase sales, and you have been calling potential clients, then you could say that you “initiated sales” or “increased point-of-sale opportunities” rather than “made cold calls." Because this is a self evaluation, include only your accomplishments, not those of your entire team. Demonstrate how you contributed to any team assignments, including your qualities as a team player. Every worker has weaknesses, and honestly identifying them is the only way to overcome them. You must reflect on your struggles in order to set new goals and...

Creating an environment with less clutter will help you avoid tripping, bumping into things, or cutting yourself. As with many things in life, creating an environment in which it is easier to reach your goal (to be less clumsy), will make it much easier to achieve success.  Leave your shoes at the door, so they aren't in your way later. Donate, recycle, or throw away old things that you no longer want or need. This will help reduce clutter. This way when you're walking your clothes won't get caught on anything. The length of your pants should fit you perfectly. This way you can't trip over your pants.  Make sure your shoelaces are not too long. This will help prevent you from stepping on them and tripping. Your pants should not be long enough to get caught under your shoes. Proper length pants will give you one less thing on which to trip. Organizing things in your home can help prevent accidents. When you know where everything is, you are less likely to accidentally knock something over or be caught be surprise by something (for example, a knife on the counter that could cut you).  Put things back after you use them. Make sure to zip-tie, or otherwise bind, stray cords so that they do not become tripping hazards. If you already have railings installed in your house, make sure that they can actually support your weight and are securely attached to the wall.  Use the railings when you walk down the stairs. Walk deliberately and use the safety equipment you have. Railings aren't just for trying to catch yourself when you fall, they can help prevent the fall in the first place. Bathrooms, kitchens, and other places that might have slippery floors like tiles can be hazardous. Non-slip maps can help provide you with a safer surface on which to stand and work, such as in the shower or in front of the sink. Non-slip mats are often made of rubber. They are available in many department stores and specialty stores that deal in bathrooms, kitchens, etc. It is much easier to be clumsy when operating in a dimly lit area....

Creditors will want to make sure you are credit worthy.   Creditors will want to lend money to a person who has a good credit history. They will want to know what your monthly or yearly income is, as they will want to make sure you can handle your monthly payments. They will look into whether or not you have something as collateral, such as a house or car that can be used against the debt if you cannot manage payments. They will also look into your character, such as past employment and any criminal records. You can get a free credit report online to look into your credit.  Keep track of all your accounts, and pay bills on time.   If you have any late payments on your credit report, check into them. If they have been paid, dispute them with the credit agency. Make sure you aren't taking on too much debt. You can look at the amount of any revolving debts you have on a credit report. Fill out all forms completely and honestly.  Be prepared to submit proof of income, including but not limited to, tax returns, sales receipts, bank statements etc. Meet with your bank or lender in person if possible to fill out applications and make introductions.

Cricket involves two teams of eleven players each. Teams bat in successive innings and try to score runs; the opposing team is in the field and trying to end the batting team's innings by getting 10 of them out. There are several different ways to get a batsman out and getting a batsman out is referred to as taking their wicket. After the two teams have batted (one or two innings depending on the format of the game) the team with the most runs wins. The basic concept of cricket is as simple as that! A coin toss decides which team bats or fields first. The two batsmen in the middle of the pitch need to make runs by hitting the ball, and the bowler will try to  bowl them out. The batsmen take turns hitting the ball and running to the opposite wicket, trying to ensure they get their runs before the fielder throws the ball back.  If a bowler, delivers a ball and the ball hits the stumps and the bail falls off, he is out Bowled. If a batsman hits the stumps with his bat and the bail falls off, he is out hit stumps. If a batsman is hit by the ball on the legs, and it is judged that the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps, he is out leg before wicket. If a fielder, bowler, or wicket keeper catches the batsman’s hit, he is out caught. If the batsman is running and the fielder, bowler, or wicketkeeper throws the ball directly at the batsman’s stumps and the bail falls off before the batsman is inside the crease, he is out run out. If a batsman is out another batsman replaces him. Once a team has lost ten wickets the innings is finished. If a player is batting, they should run between the wickets until the fielders have their ball; in cricket, a batsmen can score multiple runs per shot. If a player is in the field, they should pay attention to the bowler and batsmen so they will be ready to catch the ball when and if it comes at them. When a fielder collects a ball, they must decided to throw it back to the bowler or to the wicket keeper, depending on where their is a higher chance to get a batsman out. For...

Cross off things that do not make sense or do not seem quite true after you give them more thought. Replace them with things that you notice are missing. Also, put an asterisk next to things that are really true or strike a chord with you. Fight against feelings of hopelessness and discouragement as you identify areas of self-improvement. One way to do this is to give yourself small rewards for identifying areas of self-improvement and acting on them. Also, when feelings of hopelessness and discouragement surface, focus on “low hanging fruit” and evaluate something that feels relatively painless and easy to fix. Remember, you are not rating your worthiness as a human being, just trying to identify differences between your actual self and your ideal self. Seeing yourself objectively is not always easy, and an honest assessment by somebody outside can help you gauge whether your personal assessment is reasonable. Keep things in perspective. So you haven't won your Nobel Peace Prize yet.  Neither have most of the rest of us. You're only human, and nobody, including yourself, should expect perfection of you. Take your areas of improvement and create goals for working towards. For goals that seem too audacious, consider breaking them down into sub-goals. Make sure to define success in such a way that you can identify when you have been successful and are likely to be successful. For example, if you think you have a weight problem, take a goal like “Lose 100 pounds” and break it up into smaller steps that will get you to your goal. Think of as many small changes as you can that together can add up to you meeting your audacious goal. For example, the first week cut out all soda and drinks with sugar. Second week, cut out all packaged baked goods, like cookies and doughnuts, and replace them with healthier versions. Keep restructuring your diet until you are eating mostly healthy foods almost all the time. Keep your lists to remind you of both your strengths and your new goals.

Cross-country, downhill, and trick skiing all use different ski designs. Using the wrong style of skis can be very dangerous.  Cross-country skis are long, thin, and flat, with a pointed toe. Downhill skis are shorter and fatter, with a round, flared toe. Stand the skis vertically next to you. As a starting point, look at skis that stand between your chin and the crown of your head. There are more factors to consider, but browse this general range for initial options.  If you prefer to stick to numbers, measure your height in centimeters and look for skis no more than 15 cm shorter than yourself. Young children should use skis at chin height or a little shorter. Don't be tempted to pick a size that they'll "grow into," as this will be more difficult and dangerous. Shorter skis are more nimble but less stable at high speeds. Longer skis are more stable at high speeds, but have a longer turning radius and tend to be sluggish at slow speeds. Use this guide to narrow your options:  Beginner skiers should look for skis around chin or mustache height. These are great skis for practicing smooth turns and control. Intermediate skiers should look for skis around nose height. Most amateur skiers fall into this category. Advanced skiers can look for skis near eyebrow height. Expert skiers may try any skis from the eyebrow up, sometimes even a little beyond the head. Heavyset skiers may wish to use skis that are a bit longer than the recommendations above. These longer skis can help in weight distribution, which is essential for maintaining safety while skiing.  At higher weight, two models with the same size can feel quite different. Ask ski store employees or online ski forums for advice on specific brands that suit your weight and experience level.  Reduce ski length if you are significantly below the average weight for your height. The type of skiing you do affects your ideal ski size. Skip this step if you ski on a variety of terrain, or if you're not sure what you'll be doing. For more specialized skiers, or skiers...

Cross-cultural studies suggest that most personality variations can be reduced to scores across five trait types. These are referred to the Big Five: Extraversion, Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Openness. To find out how you score in the Big Five traits, do an online search of “Big Five Personality Test” and choose a few that appeal to you. There will be variations amongst the tests, so try a few to see if you get the same results with each. Some tests to check out may include The Big Five Project Personality Test provided by Out of Service, or the Big Five Personality Test provided by Psychology Today. High scorers (aka extroverts) are fun-seeking, cheerful, ambitious, and hard-working. They love being the center or attention. Low scorers (aka introverts) are likely to be more detached and less driven by success, pleasure and praise.  You may be an extrovert if you are chatty and sociable, and you feel energetic in crowds.  You may be an introvert if you prefer to be alone and find that social situations suck your energy.  The line between the two is not necessarily a sharp one: introverts still enjoy social situations, but they refuel by spending time alone, whereas extroverts will generally refuel by socializing. People who score highly in neuroticism tend to worry a lot and suffer from chronic anxiety, whereas low scorers tend to be more emotionally stable and satisfied in life.  If you are often anxious, even when things are going well, chances are you’re a high scorer in neuroticism. The upside is that you may also have great attention to detail and the ability to think deeply about things.  If you aren’t very detail-oriented and find that you don’t worry much about anything, chances are you’re a low scorer in neuroticism. The upside is that you’re carefree, but the downside is that you may not think deeply enough about things. Scoring highly in conscientiousness means that you are disciplined, efficient, and systematic. If you’re a low-scorer, you may find it easier to be...

Crossing things off your list as you do them will give you a lot of pleasure. Make sure these tasks are no more than 25 to 30 minutes. This is the amount of time you can expect yourself to focus without any disruptions. Splitting your studying into separate tasks can also ensure you do a thorough job. For example, you may have a research session, an outlining session and a session where you write each of the major points in a paper. You may want to get one or two easier tasks done right away in order to feel like you’ve accomplished something, but then you should try to take care of the highest priorities while you are more focused. Try to clear your head by getting something to eat or going outside. Set your timer for five minutes so that you only take care of the most important things. ” This is the feeling of being lost in a task enough to ignore time and simply do the task.

Crouch down first to get into dribbling position. You will need to stay low to the ground in order to handle the ball. Lift your chest and head while bouncing the ball close to your foot. Get ready to move! Lean forward slightly on the balls of your feet so you're able to spread your legs apart during the dribble. Take a generous step toward the sideline. Move your leg at about a 45-degree angle away from your body. While you’re doing this, keep your dominant side stable with your foot planted on the ground. Continue dribbling the ball near it to prepare for the crossover.  For example, if you’re dribbling with your right hand, step forward with your left foot. Do the opposite while dribbling with your left hand. To cross the ball over effectively, take a quick step as the ball reaches the top of its bounce. This will give you a brief window to push the ball between your legs. Move your hand so your thumb ends up on top of the ball, preparing to push it with the tips of your fingers. Let the pad of your thumb land on top of the ball while your other fingers hit its side. When the ball reaches the top of its bounce, about knee-height, get ready to push it between your legs. If you’re having a hard time getting the motion right, practice at a slow pace. Bounce the ball up a little higher than normal, take a step, and then try to shift your hand to the side. Aim for the ground directly beneath your body. Look for that nice area of daylight between your legs. Then, use the tips of your fingers to push the ball there. Use enough force to arc the ball back up to about knee-height when it pops out the other side.  Make sure you push the ball at an angle. Try to get a clean V-shaped bounce so the ball rises toward your other hand. If you’re having trouble getting the ball through without hitting your body, stand in place with your legs spread apart. Pass the ball back and forth several times. This will also give you an idea of how much force you need to apply so the ball bounces high enough. Get your hand down close...

Crows are easily spooked by random noises, so items like bells, wind chimes, and even squeaky loose gates can keep them away. Additionally, crows are frightened by reflective surfaces that move in the breeze, creating random flashes of light. Figures like scarecrows or owl decoys can be frightening to crows at first, but they are intelligent birds, and will not be fooled for long. If it looks like one crow is in your yard, others will want to follow. It should appear natural and alive, and figures hung upside-down, or otherwise appearing dead, like some Halloween decorations, will scare them off. You can either purchase an electronic caller, or attempt using a hand caller yourself. There are a variety of different calls used by crows, many of which will draw a nearby group. Some popular calls are the Attention Call, the Rally Call, and the Distress Call, all of which will draw curious crows to your location. Hand calling is difficult, but can give you greater flexibility in calling and communication with the birds. Place the call between your thumb and index finger, making a cup around the end with your hands. Rather than blow through, you will want to make a growling noise into the call, as if you were clearing your throat. Crows like horizontal places to rest, like fences and tree branches. They are sociable birds, so you will need many places for them to sit and stay. Crows are large birds, so any roosting place should be very sturdy. Old fashioned concrete birdbaths can be very useful. You can also create an artificial structure if you do not have enough natural spaces. Drive or set poles into the ground, then place a cross-bar between them for more roosting room. Crows will eat just about anything, so you are pretty safe regardless of the food you put out for them. To first attract crows, you will want some noticeable, like peanuts in the shell. Once they become regulars in your yard, you can use a wider variety of foods, including kibbled pet food or meat scraps. Crows can eat a lot of food, so don't be...

Crying on cue can be a challenge for many actors, but a lot of emotional scenes require crying. If you're struggling to find a way to bring tears to your character's eyes, try using reverse psychology. Thinking as your character, think to yourself, "I'm not going to cry. No matter what, I won't let them see me cry." In real life, you've probably had an experience when you've tried to holdback tears. Channeling the desire not to cry, despite needing to, can help trigger tears on stage. You can also consider moments that made you cry in the past. If you know you have to cry during a scene, spend some time thinking of sad moments before stepping onto the stage.  It may help to do a free write on the topic of sad moments, jotting down the saddest moments you can recall. This will give you a stockpile of sad memories you can use in the event you need to cry on cue. You do not have to focus solely on your own personal experiences. It may be too stressful to channel personal experiences. Instead, try to think of a moment from a book, movie, or TV show that made you cry. Crying is very much a physical reaction. If you go through the physical motions involved in crying, this may trigger actual tears. Consider what you do when you cry in real life. Maybe you start to breathe heavily, sniffle, and make small sobbing sounds. Start to engage in these actions. You may find that, in response, your body produces tears. If you're really in a bind to make yourself cry, you can look at the stage lights. Bright stage lights may irritate the eyes, resulting in tears. Many professional actors use this trick if they're struggling to cry in a particular scene.

Cucumbers are a tropical vegetable, and they crave a lot of direct sunlight. choose a spot where they won't be too shaded from the afternoon sun.  Cucumbers grow roots 36 to 48 inches (91 to 122 cm) deep, so don't plant them near trees. Tree roots will compete with your cucumber plants for water and nutrition.  The size of your space will dictate how many plants you can have. You'll want to space vining plants 36 to 60 inches (91 to 152 cm) apart. If you're growing them vertically, allow 12 inches (30 cm) between trellises. Cucumbers should be grown in a weed-free area. Weeds will drain nutrients and water from the soil, starving your cucumbers. Small weed cuttings can be left in the soil for fertilizer.  For best results, pull the weeds up by hand, yanking up as much of the root as possible. If you leave the root of a weed behind, there is a strong likelihood that the same weed will grow back. Avoid using herbicides as a shortcut. Both chemical and organic herbicides render the soil unsuitable for overall plant growth, so they'll hurt your cucumbers as well. Cucumbers thrive in soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. You can buy a pH testing kit at any garden supply center or hardware store. Add agricultural lime to increase the pH of your soil. Add sulfur or aluminum sulfate to decrease the pH. If you're using inorganic fertilizer, the slow-release granular fertilizer will best feed your cucumbers throughout the growth cycle. Use a trowel of a small rake to chop up and loosen the soil before adding fertilizer. This allows the fertilizer to mix into the soil more thoroughly. For natural fertilizer, use rich compost or aged manures. Mix them into the soil to a depth of about 2 inches (5.1 cm), then gradually cut and work them into the soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm). The ideal soil for cucumbers is loose, light, and sandy. This type of soil gets warmer more quickly and retains that warmth more easily. If you have more clay in your soil, add organic material. Dense, heavy soil can be...

Cucumbers need the soil to reach at least  70 °F (21 °C) in order to grow. In many areas, you can start a crop in July and expect a harvest in September. If you live in a warmer area, you may be able to start earlier. Wait until at least 2 weeks after the last frost. If you're planting inside, you can begin the seeds whenever you want. Make the hole about equal in depth and width. You can create it by using your pinky finger or the rounded end of a pencil. If you have a larger planter, place the holes evenly around the edge of a circular planter or evenly across a rectangular planter, depending on the size and shape. Plant more seeds than necessary so that you guarantee success. Planting this many seeds may mean you need to thin once the plants come up, but you're more likely to end up with as many plants as you want. Cucumber seedlings don't like being taken out of a container or handled. Choosing seedlings with organic containers, such as coco coir or peat, allows you to plant them in the soil, container and all, without handling the seedlings too much. The roots will grow through the organic container. Loosely drop soil over the seeds. Do not squish the soil into the hole, since doing so may damage the seeds. You can gently pat it down when you're done. If you're using a seedling, fill in the hole around the container, and pat it down from the top. If it's still cool outside, you can protect your plants by creating collars for each one. Cut the tops and bottoms off of large plastic bottles. Wash them thoroughly with hot soap and water. Place one around each sprouting plant. Press it into the ground so it doesn't blow away. These collars provide warmth and wind protection. They may also protect against some pests. The soil should be thoroughly and noticeably moist after you water the seeds or seedlings. Do not supersaturate the soil, however, since puddles of water may end up scattering the seeds. Use a fine sprayer so you don't stir up the seeds. Lightly apply a thin layer of peat moss or mulch over the...

Have interests outside of those of your friends. Make sure to spend time developing things that you like to do.  Learn to play an instrument. Music can help you to learn more about yourself. Playing an instrument can be a rewarding experience.   Speak a foreign language. Picking up a new language is difficult, but it can be helpful in many ways. Learn more about a different culture while also picking up an important skill.   Read and expand your horizons. Studying is important as well as maintaining good grades. It can also help you learn more about yourself, and the world around you. Be creative. Try out different artistic experiences to see if any fit you. Don’t let others bring you down. Ignore them so you can focus on positive interactions with others.  Be the smarter person and walk away if others make fun of you about your weight. Getting angry at them is not worth it.   Don’t engage in negative thinking. If people are mean to you, that’s not a reflection of you. Instead, it says a lot more about them and their insecurities. Don’t let others make you feel insecure. Feel good because of who you are, not what other people think about you.

Culturally, it's more acceptable to put the needs of others first. However, when it comes to being a caregiver, sometimes you need to take care of yourself. Part of that is figuring out what is stopping you from caring for yourself.  For instance, you may feel selfish for putting your needs first. However, if you make yourself sick, what good will that do for the person you're caring for? Maybe you have trouble asking for help, meaning you take on the full burden of caring for the person. However, everyone needs some help when it comes to caregiving, so don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Give yourself permission to put your needs first at times, so you can be helpful to your loved one. Everyone has a range of emotions when it comes to caring for a loved one. Guilt, remorse, grief, resentment, anger, and anxiety are all common emotions, and it's important to acknowledge and accept those feelings. It's also a good idea to find someone you can talk to about them, who's willing to listen to what you're going through without judgment. Consider seeing a therapist with whom you can process the emotional toll of caregiving. Reach out to other caregivers, such as in a caregiver support group. Just listening to others' stories and telling your own can make you feel better. You're not alone in this situation. Others are going through it, too, and they can help support you through it. If you don't have time to go to an in-person group, consider finding one online. You can check in whenever you have the time. If you usually have an active spiritual life, try to nurture that side through prayer, meditation, or whatever you like to do. Generally, if you neglect a spiritual practice you normally do, it can make you feel unbalanced or out-of-sorts. If you don't pray or meditate, consider taking a few moments out of each day for yourself, just to sit quietly or even write in a journal, so you get in touch with how you are feeling. You need to take a bit of time each day doing something you enjoy that relaxes...

Cupcake liners come in different sizes, so match the liner size with the pockets in your cupcake sheet. If the liner is too big, it won’t fit in your sheet. If it’s too small, the sides will expand and your cupcakes will be too flat. Find a liner that fits perfectly into your baking sheet.  Standard cupcake liners are 2.25 inches (5.7 cm) in diameter. These will fit a typical baking sheet. If you’re making mini muffins or cupcakes, opt for a 1 inch (2.5 cm) or 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) liner instead. If you aren’t sure what liners will fit your sheet, measure the diameter of a slot in your baking sheet. Then find liners that match this diameter. The diameter of liners is usually on the packaging. Wax and paper cupcake liners work fine for most baking jobs, but they aren’t grease-proof. That means grease bleeds through the paper while the cupcakes bake, and your hands could get slippery when you pick up the cupcakes. For a grease-proof option, use foil liners instead.  Foil liners and paper liners are both available at supermarkets or online. Specialty bake shops will have a greater variety of choices for cupcake liners. If you want to cut down on your carbon footprint and avoid throwing out cupcake liners after every use, try silicone liners instead. These are reusable, so just wash them and use them again the next time you bake.  Always check silicone liners for their intended baking temperature. Most silicone liners can handle high heat, but double check to make sure you don’t melt them in the oven. Don’t use silicone liners over an open flame. They will melt. As an added bonus, you'll also save money because you won't have to buy more liners every time you bake. If you want to add some more fun to your cupcakes, choose one of the many decorated cupcake liners available. These range from different colors to elaborate designs. Shop around and see if there is a design that appeals to you.  Try to match the liner to the occasion. If you’re throwing a Halloween party, look for orange liners or ones with pumpkins on...

Cupping almost always results in circular bruises. In most cases, the bruises caused by cupping aren’t too painful. They should disappear within three to four days without additional treatment, but they can last up to a week. If the marks don’t fade after a week or get worse during that time, consult a doctor. In rare instances, cupping can create mild blisters. To protect the blister while it heals, use a blister-protecting adhesive pad, called moleskin. Cut a hole in the moleskin so that it’s a doughnut shape, and place it over the blister. This way clothing won’t touch or irritate the blister while it heals. After cupping, it’s important to hydrate to help the body with its recovery process. Have your patient drink lots of cool water. Some people recommend waiting a bit before strenuous exercise after cupping, but some athletes like to do cupping right before a big event. It’s up to your patient to figure out a routine that works for them. Saunas, hot tubs, and sunbathing can make the cupping bruises hurt, so tell your patient to avoid these. Excessive heat can also prevent the bruises from healing quickly. Cupping can be used regularly, but too much can be bad for your health. Start using this treatment only once a week, and increase to a few times a week only if it feels right for the patient. Remember to only leave the cups on for about 10 minutes or fewer during each cupping session. If your patient is an athlete, don’t just use cupping right before a big meet or race. The change in routine might throw them off and be painful. Instead, use cupping regularly, so that the body won’t be too shocked by cupping before a big meet.

Curling irons come in a variety of sizes, and the best size for you will depend on the type of beach waves you’re after, as well as the texture and length of your hair.  A large barreled iron, such as 1.5 inch, works well for long hair. This size is a good choice for loose curls that you wear the same day as curling; these curls may also last well into the next day, depending on how well your hair holds curl.  Using a small curling iron, like one with a half-inch barrel, is a good tactic for straight, fine hair. You can also buy a specialty three-barrel curling iron, which will give you beach waves with virtually no effort.  Expect that your curls will loosen. Use an iron that provides tighter curls than you hope to end up with. Make sure your hair is free of tangles. These curls work well on unwashed hair, so don't worry about washing your hair. If you do wash your hair, make sure to let it air dry completely before starting. To add texture to your curls, spray the sea salt spray to the mid lengths and ends of your hair. Don't spray on the roots. Do not drench the hair; add enough for a good coating.  After you've applied the spray, scrunch your hair. Use your hands to scrunch chunks of your hair up toward your roots, like you’re making messy curls. Allow the sea salt spray to air dry. Never use a curling iron on wet hair because it will burn your hair. Divide your hair into manageable sections, pinning the majority out of the way so that you can work with a few sections at a time. Sections of hair that are 1 to 2 inches are probably the best. The amount of hair you have, as well as the size of the curling iron you use, will determine how many sections you need. The smaller the iron, the greater the number of sections needed. Working with one section at a time, hold the curling iron vertical and wrap your hair around the curling iron. Make sure the curling iron is pointed downward. Start by wrapping the beginning of the strand nearest your roots around the topmost part of the curling iron twice. Then,...

Curly hair can be prone to split-ends and dryness. But some home remedies can bring back your shine, reduce frizz, and make curly hair easier to manage. They can be less expensive than store-bought products, and fun to make.  Try a homemade rinse of eggs. Beat the eggs with curd and almond oil together before applying.   Apple cider vinegar will reduce frizz as well as improving shine.  Turn it into a rinse.   Putting avocado into curly hair makes it easier to style. Mash one avocado with some yogurt to smear into your hair. Make sure to rinse it out, and shampoo. Try carbonated water to reduce the frizz, especially if you air dry your hair a lot, since air drying does expose hair to humidity. Curly hair has more protein in it than straight hair. That means it needs more moisture too. You have to give it the moisture it's craving if you want it to look healthy and have bounce.  Leave-in conditioners are also effective for curly hair because it can become very dry.   Once a week, lather on the deep-conditioning mask to give curly hair the moisture it needs. Don't use a mask too often or it will weigh down hair. Sulfate-free shampoo works better on curly hair. Choosing a shampoo with the right chemical composition for curly hair matters. All hair follicles were not created equal.  Regular shampoos have salt and detergent in them that are bad for curls.   Shampoos with aloe or wheat protein are good choices.   There are many shampoos that are designed specifically for curly hair. Hairspray and some gels have a lot of alcohol, which doesn't work for curly hair.  The alcohol can give hair a dull look and weigh it down, so pick your products carefully. Choose gels that are water soluble instead. You don't have to rinse out all of the conditioner. If you leave a little bit of the conditioner in your hair, it will look healthier. Curly hair can be tamed with a variety of products, ranging from mousse to creams. These products sometimes make straight hair look limp, but they can make your curls seem more defined. ...

Currently, CBT is considered the most effective treatment for ASD. It has also been found that treating with CBT early enough helps prevent ASD from developing into PTSD, a similar condition with more long-term effects.  CBT for ASD focuses on changing the way you perceive risk associated with the trauma you experienced, and the focus is to process the trauma in order to desensitize you to the triggers you have developed around your trauma. Your therapist will educate you on the physical, emotional, and psychological responses to trauma so that you are better able to recognize your triggers and responses. Your therapist will also explain how and why the process is important to desensitize you to the experience. Your therapist will also provide relaxation training to use during anxiety responses outside the office, as well as to use in session while verbally processing the trauma or imagining the trauma and describing it out loud. Your therapist will also use CBT to help you reframe your experience and help you to overcome survivor's guilt if necessary. For example, in the case of ASD, the patient may have experienced a car accident that caused a death. He may now be terrified of getting into a car because he feels he will die. The therapist will work out how the patient can think about this in a different way. If the patient is 25 years old, the therapist may say that the patient has been getting into cars for 25 years and didn't die, so statistics are in his favor. Psychological debriefing involves a mental health intervention very quickly after a trauma, ideally before symptoms have developed into ASD. The patient will undergo an intense therapy session to talk out the whole trauma with a professional. The drawback of this treatment is that it must be done very soon after the event to be effective. The effects of psychological debriefing are considered inconsistent. Some studies find that psychological debriefing has no long-term benefit for victims of trauma. This should not discourage you from seeking...

Customers are overwhelmed with surveys from pretty much every business out there. If you want to ensure a customer automatically deletes your email upon reading it, fill it with a ton of questions. If you want to keep the customer interested, ask one or two questions and leave it at that. Rather using yes/no questions, ask question that elicit fuller answers. Instead of asking, "Would you recommend us to a friend?", ask "How would you describe us to a friend?" These kind of questions give you more information in the answers than a simple yes/no question. This makes the customer feel as though their opinion isn't just going to some giant inbox, where it may or may not be read or considered. You'll also likely get more candid feedback, if they know you'll respond. When you do respond, be candid and professional. In today's viral internet culture, you can ruin a company's reputation in a second if you respond with anything other than professionalism and sincerity. If a customer has a slow connection, they will likely delete the email immediately when they see it's failing to load. Remember that feedback is often more important to you than them. You want your email to look clean and professional. An email with shoddy graphics or comic sans font is unlikely to impress your customers. Instead, use standard fonts like Times New Roman or Arial if you are unsure of a font, and keep excess graphics to a minimum. A single-column format is more flexible than multi-column designs. You'll also want to make sure your fonts aren't too small. You'll want the email to appear to advantage on laptops, phones, and tablets. With so many people checking their email on their phones, it's imperative that you format your emails accordingly.

Customers interested in opening a Swiss bank account must visit an operational bank branch, either in person or through a representative. If sending a representative, that representative will have to provide documentation for both himself and the person he represents. Due to strict banking guidelines, bank accounts cannot be opened online, as there is currently no way to verify the potential client's identity or source(s) of income online. Certain banks may allow you to complete this process by mail. A photocopy of your official, government-issued passport would have to be certified by an approved institution and sent to the bank you wish to do business with. Like most banks around the world, Swiss banks are required to verify the identity and source of income of customers who wish to open a new account. For this reason, most banks require potential clients to meet in person with a bank representative to complete the verification process.  Customers may be required to provide a valid passport as a means of identification.  Bank representatives may ask for documentation to verify the origin of income. For example, bank representatives may request a copy of a contract proving that a house was sold to acquire the money in question, or receipts from securities sales, or a verifying statement from a bank you've done business with in the past. Banks may verify the listed address of a potential customer by sending some type of correspondence through the mail. As with any other bank account, there are forms and application materials that potential customers must fill out. Due to the security of Swiss banks and the international pressure to account for tax evasion efforts, however, the paperwork process can be quite lengthy. One Swiss bank expert reported that there can be upwards of 100 pages of paperwork required for a foreign investor to open a Swiss bank account. Each bank has different requirements on the minimum deposit/investment an individual must make. Sometimes various types of accounts within the same bank...

Customize your ice pack by choosing the material and dimensions. For an easy option, choose an old, clean sock; pillowcases and other material pouches are also good options, provided that the material is tightly knit and the sides are closed up. You can also purchase material and sew something yourself. A benefit of making a rice ice pack is that you can also use it as a moist heat pack by microwaving it for one to three minutes. Fill up your ice pack cover with raw rice. Fill it approximately ¾ full so that the filling will disperse evenly when applied to skin while maintaining its density. Add a few drops of essential oil if desired (e.g. lavender oil, to enhance relaxation). You can substitute dried beans for rice, if needed. Sew up the end of the ice pack. Make sure that all of the edges are shut tightly, and that there are no small holes in the material where the rice might fall out. Freeze the ice pack for two to three hours, or until chilled.

Cut 2 slices of crusty bread, such as French bread. Spread some softened butter over one side of each slice of bread.  For a fancier sandwich, try pesto, olive oil, or hummus. You can also use mayo or a thick, creamy salad dressing, such as Ranch, Italian, or Green Goddess. Place the bottom slice down, buttered-side-up. Place 1 to 2 leaves of lettuce on top. If the lettuce leaves are much larger than the sandwich, cut them into halves or thirds first. Some types of lettuce have a very thick stem in the middle. Reduce bulk by cutting this stem out with a sharp knife. Cut a thin slice off of a red onion. Separate the slice into rings. Place as many rings as you want onto the lettuce. You can leave the onion rings off if you want to. Cut off two thick slices of tomato. Stack them on top of the lettuce and onion. A thick, meaty tomato would work the best for this. Add a sprinkle of salt and a dash of pepper on top of the tomato slices. How much you use is entirely up to you! Carefully lay 1 to 2 slices of sharp, white Cheddar on top of the sandwich. Make sure that they are covering the tomatoes entirely. They will keep your sandwich from getting soggy. If you don't like Cheddar, try Swiss, Monterey Jack, or Provolone instead. For an extra-fancy touch, slice the sandwich in half diagonally from corner-to-corner. Stick a fancy toothpick or cocktail stick through each sandwich half to hold it together.

Cut 2-3 fresh slices of tomato and put them on top of the cheese when you make your sandwich. Cook your sandwich normally so the cheese melts around the tomato. Season your sandwich with fresh basil to make the sandwich taste fresh.  Try using mozzarella cheese to make a grilled cheese that tastes like pizza. You can also use diced tomatoes if you want to ensure you have some in every bite. Cut your apple slices so they’re about 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) thick so they can heat evenly. Lay the apples on top of the cheese in the middle of your sandwich and cook the sandwich as you normally would. The cheese and apples will cook together to make sweet and salty flavors. Try using cheddar, brie, or Gouda in your apple grilled cheese to make the flavors stronger. Put a few slices of thin-sliced ham on the bottom piece of bread and then put your cheese on top of it. Cook your sandwich as normal until the cheese melts and the meat is hot. When you finish cooking the sandwich, cut it in half so it can cool down.  Try using cheddar or Swiss cheese for a classic sandwich pairing. You can use other types of deli meat if you want, such as turkey or roast beef. Include tomatoes or pickles on your sandwich to add more flavors to your sandwich. Heat the soup up on your stove or in the microwave and serve it in a bowl with your grilled cheese. Try dipping the grilled cheese in the soup before you take a bite to combine the flavors. You can either make your own soup or make it from a can or box.

Cut a large section of lemon peel. Sprinkle some table salt onto the outer side of the peel. Rub the salted lemon on the stained cup or dish in small circular motions. The acidity of the lemon peel and the abrasiveness of the salt will remove the tea stain. Apply more salt as needed until the surface is clean. If the lemon peel and salt method doesn’t work, create a baking soda paste. Mix together baking soda with a little bit of water in a small dish. You want the paste to be thick enough that you can rub it onto the stained area with a cloth or paper towel. Use some pressure to rub the tea stains out of the dish or cup. After a few minutes the stain can be rinsed away. Rinse the dish or cup underneath some water to remove baking soda, lemon and salt flavors. Wash the cup as you normally would with some dish detergent and water.

Cut a long piece of colored embroidery floss. Center it behind a braid, then tie the strands into a double-knot. Cross both strands over the front of the braid to create an X. Wrap them to the back and cross them again to create another X. Keep wrapping and crossing the thread until you reach the end of your braid, then tie it off. Cut the excess floss off.  Use gold or silver thread for a hint of sparkle!  You can start the embroidery thread wherever you want: at the top of the braid, in the middle, etc. You aren’t limited to just embroidery floss. Try colored yarn instead! Hold the end of a piece of embroidery floss against 1 braid. Wrap the rest of the floss around your braid tightly to create a 1 to 2 in (2.5 to 5.1 cm) band of color. Cut the floss, then add the next color. Keep going until you get the look you want, then tie the floss to itself. Cut the rest of the floss off.  When adding new colors, hold the end of the old color and the new color against the braid before wrapping. Vary the width of the sections. Make some 2 inches (5.1 cm) long, and others 3 inches (7.6 cm)! You can start the wraps wherever you want: at the top of the braid, a third of the way down, halfway down, etc. Thread a needle, then tie the ends together to create a double strand. Loop the thread around a cowrie shell in a slip knot, then pull the thread through your braid. Push the needle up through your braid again so that it comes out the other end of the shell. Pull the thread across the edge of the shell and back through the braid. Tie the thread to itself, then cut it.  You may have to do a few stitches before the shell feels secure.

Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of a baking tray. Make it long enough so that the edges of the paper extend over the lip of the tray 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm). Cut a second piece of parchment paper to go the opposite direction across the tray so that all the edges are covered. Pour the batter in on top of the parchment paper. When the brownies or cake are done cooking, simply lift the parchment paper out of the baking tray to easily remove the baked goods.  For a round cake tin, cut a circle of parchment paper for the bottom of the tray, and then grease or butter the sides of the tin like you normally would. To keep the parchment paper itself from slipping, spray just a little bit of cooking spray or add some grease to the corners. This will make the parchment paper stick to the sheet or tray, and it won’t move when you start adding batter or cookies to it. When you need to drizzle sauces or decorate baked goods with sprinkles, lay them out on parchment paper before you begin. After you’ve finished decorating things, simply throw away the parchment paper. For extra help containing those sprinkles, lay the parchment paper on a baking sheet that has an edge around it. That way the sprinkles will stay on the parchment paper and in the baking sheet, no matter what. The next time you bake cookies, cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of your baking sheet. Place the cookies on the parchment paper, and then cook them as you normally would. The parchment paper distributes the heat to the cookies more evenly, keeps the bottoms from burning, and prevents the cookies from spreading too wide as they bake. When making muffins, cut out a parchment square for each individual tin. Place a square into each tin, and then press them down with a thin glass, so that the bottom creases around the edges of the tin. Then pour in your batter and cook the muffins according to the recipe. When the muffins are done baking, you should be able to turn them out easily onto a clean linen towel and peel the...

Cut a ripe avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the meat out with a spoon and place it into a blender or food processor. Avocados are full of vitamins and fatty acids. They help damaged hair by making it stronger and resistant against breakage. If you have hair that is fine or shorter than shoulder length, then you will only need about ½ of an avocado. If your hair is longer than shoulder length, then you will need a full avocado. If your hair is long and very dry or thick, then you may need more than 1 avocado. Add 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water to the avocado. Pulse the blender or food processor on high speed until you get a chunky puree. This will take about 1 minute. If the puree is still too chunky, add 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 milliliters) more of water. Olive oil is full of healthy fats that help nourish and hydrate dry hair without weighing it down. If you tend to get dandruff, consider using 2 to 4 teaspoons of melted coconut oil instead. Dampen your hair first. Scoop the mask up with your fingers, then apply it to your hair, starting from the roots if you have a dry scalp or starting from the ends if you have dry or damaged ends. Massage it into your scalp if starting there, and work it down towards the ends. Or, work it into the ends and work up towards your scalp.  Stop the application a few inches from the roots if your hair is fine. Applying avocado to roots may weigh down fine hair. If your hair is very long or thick, consider parting it into quadrants. This will make the mask easier to apply. Divide your hair from ear to ear and from your forehead to the nape of your neck to create 4 sections. Metal clips can react with the oil and stain your hair, so make sure to use plastic clips. If you want to make the mask even more effective, cover your hair with a plastic shower cap. This will trap the heat and allow the mask to penetrate the hair strands. Do not leave the mask on for more than 30 minutes. It may dry out and go rancid as well.

Nails may have been added to the flooring to cut down on squeaking or to secure a loose baseboard. Either way, nails that are sticking up above the wood floor present both a danger and a nuisance. Most of the time, hammering the nails down deeper into the flooring is a better and easier solution than taking the nails out. Hammer the nails down about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) into the floor. Use a nail set so you don't leave hammer marks(dents)in the wood. Work with their direction, not against it. Once the nails are 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) deep, they're ready to be concealed with a little bit of filler that you'll make after sanding down the rest of the flooring. More on that later. If old carpet backing is stuck to your wood floor, you will need to scrape it off with a putty knife. This can be a rather tedious job, and can take a great deal of time, but it's worth it. Go over the floor with a vacuum and mop if necessary. Years of dust and grit can create a lot of debris. You want this debris cleared away before you attack the old wood finish. If tack stripping was present along with your carpet, remove it before you start sanding so that you can hit those areas with your finish.

Cut long triangles from a piece of white printing paper. The base of the triangle will be the width of the bead and the longer the triangle is, the fatter the bead will become. 1-inch by 4-inch (2.5cm x 10cm) triangles will make slender 1-inch (2.5cm) beads, whereas 1/2-inch by 8-inch (1.27cm x 20cm) triangles would create fat 1/2-inch (1.27cm) beads. Cut accordingly. Draw on each cut-out with markers, pencils, or pens. Since the triangle will eventually be rolled onto itself, only the outermost edges and the last inch or two of the tip of the paper will be visible; these are the areas where you should focus your design. Play around with a few colors and design combinations as you go to see what looks best.  Color the tip of the triangle red and then alternate 1-inch (2.5cm) strips of orange and red marker down the outside edges; this would create a bead with a red center surrounded by orange and red stripes. Color the tip of the triangle black, move down an inch, draw 1-inch (2.5cm) black strips on either outside edge, move down an inch, and repeat; this would create a zebra-striped bead with a black center. Do not use washable markers, especially if you plan to glaze your beads; the colors will run. Turn each triangle design-side down and apply a bit of glue to the pointy end. A glue stick or a tiny bit of liquid glue will do. Starting at the wide end, roll the triangle around itself using a dowel or other slender cylinder. A rounded toothpick or bamboo skewer would work nicely as well. Keep the triangle centered as you roll, otherwise, your designs won’t display correctly.Roll tightly, especially if you want the beads to last. Try to avoid having space between the layers. Glue the tip of the triangle to the rolled paper. If the bead doesn’t stay tightly rolled up, apply another dab of glue. Use a finish like Marvin Medium, ModPodge, or Diamond Glaze. Let it dry thoroughly, making sure it doesn't stick to anything. Try putting your toothpick into a pincushion or a piece of Styrofoam to keep it from coming...

Cut off a small piece of truffle, then chop or shave it into tiny pieces until you have enough to fill 1 teaspoon. The smaller you chop the pieces, the more flavorful the oil will be.  If you can't get fresh truffles, use 1/2 teaspoon of chopped, dried truffle or 1 teaspoon of chopped, brined truffle. If you are using brined truffle, make sure that you drain it. Choose a bottle large enough to hold at least 1 cup (240 mL) of liquid. Sterilize it, then fill it with 1 cup (240 mL) of olive oil. For best results, use a high-quality oil. Use a bottle with a screw-on cap. Don't use a cork. You can also use a jar instead. Again, you only need 1 teaspoon of chopped or shaved truffles. This may not seem like a lot, but a little bit goes a long way! Once you have the truffles in the bottle, close the bottle tightly. Give the bottle a good shake, then place it into a cool cupboard or the fridge. Do this every single day for 1 week. During this time, the truffles will infuse the oil with their flavor and fragrance. You can leave the truffles in the bottle, or you can strain them out and pour the oil into another bottle. Leaving the truffles in the bottle, however, will allow them to continue imparting their unique flavor and aroma. To strain out the truffles, put a funnel into a new bottle. Line it with cheesecloth, then pour the oil through the funnel into the bottle. Discard the truffles caught in the cloth. Be aware that truffle oil prepared using this method is susceptible to botulism. You can reduce this by storing the oil in the fridge and using it within 1 month.

Cut off about 1 inch of ginger root and peel the skin skin off using a vegetable peeler. Chop the ginger into small pieces and steep it in 1 cup of boiled water for 5 minutes. Drink the ginger tea 4 to 5 times a day. Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory herb that has been used for centuries to treat respiratory problems. You can also make a cold ginger drink. Mix ½ cup ginger juice, ½ cup pomegranate juice and add honey to taste. Drink this 3 to 4 times a day. The ginger acts as an anti-inflammatory and the pomegranate juice is high in antioxidants. Honey is for flavor, but also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Although more research is needed, some herbalists believe the lobelia plant can relieve asthma. To effectively breathe in lobelia and relieve asthma symptoms, place 2 or 3 drops of lobelia essential oil into a bowl of steaming water. Place a heavy towel over the back of your head and lean over the bowl so that the steam is trapped. Breathe in the steam for 5 to 10 minutes. Keep your face about 18 inches away from the steaming water so you don't burn yourself. Take an ointment that has menthol and eucalyptus and rub it over your chest. These can prevent or shorten an asthma attack. In a study, participants who used rubbing ointments went to the emergency room less often than those who only used inhalers. You can also do a facial steam with eucalyptus essential oil. Eucalyptus can break up mucus and may help you breathe easier. You can also place a few drops of the eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball and keep it nearby (stored in a baggie).  If you feel any asthma symptoms, pull out the cotton ball and take a few sniffs of the eucalyptus. If you're experiencing an asthma attack, take slow shallow breaths instead of quick deep breaths. This is the idea behind the Buteyko Breathing Therapy technique. A good exercise to try is to place the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth. Hold it there while you inhale slowly through your nose. Exhale slowly so that the breath moves around your...

Cut off the buds at the tip of each branch to redirect energy to buds on the side of the branch. By removing a singe bud, you encourage the development of multiple buds, leading to a fuller setting of flowers. These buds can either be snipped off with shears or pinched off by hand. June is generally considered the best month for this type of pruning, but any time in the early summer will work. You should not snip buds off during the dormant season since doing so will cut the flowers off before they have the chance to open, rather than simply redirecting the energy. Do not wait too late into the summer, though, because doing so will not allow the buds to build up enough energy for new shoots and buds for the next year.

Cut one fresh lemon in half. Squeeze one of the lemon halves over a tablespoon until you’ve filled it. Put the tablespoon of juice into a mug. Lemon juice is high in vitamin C, which may help boost your immune system.  Lemon juice also has antibacterial properties and may help with breaking fevers and relieving sore throats. Check to make sure you didn’t get any lemon seeds in your mug. If you see any, remove them. Put the two tablespoons of honey into the mug with the lemon juice. Honey, along with having antibacterial properties, coats and soothes sore throats. Fill a tea kettle or pot with ½ cup (60 ml) water. Put it on the stove under high heat until it begins to boil. Remove the kettle or pot from heat. After boiling the water, carefully pour it over the lemon and honey that's already in your mug. Stir the ingredients together gently. Allow the beverage to cool for about five minutes before you begin drinking it.  You can always add more lemon juice, honey, or hot water to taste. If you're experiencing an illness, the hot water can help to relax your throat muscles.

Cut small slits all the way around below the collar band of a t-shirt to create a woven pattern. Make sure the cuts are evenly spaced and perpendicular to the neckline.  The slits should be about 2 inches (5 cm) long. Make the first slit where you want to start half as long as the rest, as it will begin to open up into a hole during this process. The slits should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from one another, but this measurement does not need to be exact. When you’re done cutting, stretch out the fabric on either side of where you cut to make it easier to manipulate. Pick up the piece of fabric between the first two cuts you made. Pull the second piece of fabric under and over the first piece, creating a loop.  Start where you made your smaller cut. Your first slit will be pulled open into more of a hole by the weaving process, so it’s best to start with a smaller slit if possible. To create more of a braided look, pull the second piece of fabric under the first, then twist it once before moving onto the next step. Take the third piece of fabric and pull it under and up over the loop you created with the first two pieces. Continue pulling the next piece through the current loop until you’ve reached the end.  Remember to twist each loop once before you pull the next piece through it to create more of a braided look if you choose to do so. When you reach the end and you have a final loop with nothing to pull through it, cut the loop in half. Tie the pieces securely to the end of your weaved fabric to secure it. Trim the ends carefully if they are too long. Choose to create a woven pattern on the sides or back of your t-shirt. Cut slits and use the same method of pulling one piece under and over the previous piece to create the pattern.  If you weave the sides, make sure you lay the t-shirt flat, with the fabric folded evenly along each side before cutting. If you weave the back, pick up the t-shirt and fold it in the opposite way, so that the armholes line up and the side seams meet before you cut the back....

Cut the embroidery floss or craft thread about 60–65 inches (152.4–165.1 cm) for each color depending on your wrist size. You'll need at least six strands of string (two strands of three colors), but you can use any even number of strands.  The more strings you use, the more complex your color arrangements will be and the wider the width of your bracelet. Use whatever colors you want; just make sure that you have two strands of every single color that you choose. Tie a knot at the end of the strands of string and secure it in any number of ways to make it easier to hold steady while you finish the bracelet. You can clip it to your clipboard, safety pin it to your pants or a pillow, or tape it to your work surface. You can also use a binder clip with a binder or book. Alternatively, you can just tie it to a drawer handle. Using the thread, make a mirror-image pattern so that the two outside strands are the same color and so on going inwards. Pretend there is an imaginary line in the middle and create the same color pattern with the string on both sides of the line. Tie a knot at the end of the pattern and use the excess string to tie the bracelet onto your wrist or the wrist of a friend. Alternatively, you can create a button-loop closure for the bracelet. Attach a button to one side by pulling any two strands through the holes in the button. Then, tie the strands together and cut off the excess of all strands (even the ones not used for the button). On the other end of the bracelet, there should already be a loop that exists between the knot at the end and the place where the knots begin. Pull the button through the loop once you have finished all the steps.

Cut the goat tenderloin into 1/2-inch cubes. In another large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloin and cook it until it browns on all sides. You'll need to stir it frequently so it doesn't stick and burn. Remove the browned tenderloin to a separate bowl. You may need sear the tenderloin in batches if you think your pan is too small or the goat would be too crowded. The bottom of your pan should still look oily. If not, add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger, 1 medium onion, and 1 head of garlic. Add this to your pan and cook the aromatics until they're soft and you can smell them. Stir in the pre-cooked internal organs and entrails (intestines, if you're using them). You'll only need to cook these for a few minutes. Keep an eye on them and stir them occasionally so they don't burn. Stir fry the mixture until a little the meat releases a little moisture. Season the papaitan with salt and pepper to your taste. Let it cook for a few minutes over medium-high and add enough water to cover the papaitan. At this point, you can taste the papaitan. Just keep in mind that it will soften a lot after you finish simmering it. Add the seared goat tenderloin to the papaitan and continue to simmer the papaitan until the tenderloin is completely cooked and tender. The papaitan should be covered with water and you'll want to cook it for 2 to 3 hours. Continue to taste and season the papaitan, adding more bile for a more bitter taste. Make sure that the papaitan doesn't boil or bubble too much. If it boils, the water will cook out and burn the papaitan on the bottom of the pot. Split the chili peppers lengthwise and add them to the papaitan. Pour small amounts of bile into the papaitan, tasting after each addition. Add fish sauce to your liking and taste the papaitan again. When you're ready to serve the dish, garnish it with chopped scallions. For example, try adding 1/8 teaspoon and taste before adding another 1/8 of a teaspoon of bile. This will...

Cut the internal organ meat (tripe, liver, kidney, heart, pancreas) into 1-inch cubes. If you're using goat intestines, carefully slice down the length of the intestines with a sharp knife. Rub down the intestines and innards with lime juice and rinse the innards off with water. Avoid taking care of young children while handling the raw intestines and internal organs. These meats can carry bacteria, so wash and sanitize your hands after handling them. Place the cubed internal organ meat in a large pot. Cover the meat with cold water so that it's covered. Bring the meat to a boil over high heat. Boil the internal organs for 5 full minutes. Drain the internal organs into a colander in your kitchen sink. Boiling the innards will kill any bacteria. During this time, you should clean and sanitize your kitchen, especially any equipment that came into contact with the raw internal organs. Check over the internal organ meat to make sure it's clean. Return the meat to the cooking pot and cover it with fresh cold water. Bring the meat to a boil and continue boiling until it's tender. Depending on what meats you used, it may take several hours before the internal organs are tender. Check the meats every 20 to 30 minutes if you're unsure how long you'll need to boil them.

Cut the plastic sheeting in a circle, about 1' wider than the main circle. Wrap the excess plastic over the edge of the circle and staple it down using a staple gun, about every 4”.  If you want, use duct tape to tape down the extra plastic and seal any gaps at the edge. The side covered in plastic is the underside of the hovercraft. Turn the board over so that the plastic side is facing up. Take duct tape and use it to completely cover the roughly 1" sq area at the center of the circle. It should be at least a little larger than the small circle you cut out in step 2 of the previous section. For example, if you just use a 6” diameter circle, reinforce a 1” sq. area of plastic. Use wood screws to attach the smaller circle to the larger circle, at the exact center on the underside of the hovercraft. These screws should be no longer than the depth of both circles. Use roughly 5 screws to get a tight fit. At least 2" from the edge of the smaller circle but still in the reinforced area, cut 6 holes in the plastic. This will let the air escape, creating the cushion on which the hovercraft floats. These holes should be ~1” wide.

Cut the potatoes so they are each about 1/3 - 1/4 inch thick. Put them in a large bowl filled with cold water and refrigerate them for about 2 hours. Place 4 tbsp. of unsalted butter in a saucepan and heat it up over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup of flour into the butter and stir it until it is smooth. This should take about 2 minutes. Add one minced clove of garlic and one minced shallot to the mixture and cook them until they are soft, for another 2 or so minutes. Add 4 cups of beef stock, 2 tbsp. of ketchup, ½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp. peppercorns, and salt and pepper to taste to the mixture. Stir the ingredients together until they have thickened a bit, which should take about 5-6 minutes. You have made the gravy that you will pour over the potatoes. Drain the potatoes and dry them with paper towels before you fry them. Pour canola oil into a pan and heat it up over medium-high heat. Then, place the potatoes in the pan and stir them to get them in the oil evenly, until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Place the potatoes on paper towels to drain the excess oil and then have them cool for about 20 minutes. Place the potatoes on a plate and pour the gravy over them, topping it with 2 cups of cheese curd. Enjoy this dish as a main course while it's nice and hot.

Cut your memory foam topper down to a size that is reasonable for your dog or cat. Either wrap it in some sheets or sew some fabric around it and you can use it as a cheap alternative to branded dog beds. This is great for senior-aged pets, since memory foam supports joints. Any fabric can work, but the more durable, the better. Try outdoor fabric, canvas, or cotton duck. If you have any old, portable bed bases, put your memory foam on top of it and use it as a trundle bed. These beds are typically used for visitors or as a mobile bed. If you don't have any old bed frames lying around, Ikea has plenty of affordable ones. Purchase frames with wheels to make it easier to move around your home. Many beanbag chairs are actually stuffed with memory foam, making this a great way to reuse your memory foam mattress topper. Cut the foam up into smaller pieces (about 2 inches (5.1 cm) long), unzip your chair, and replace some or all of the old stuffing. Beanbag chairs are typically made from expanded polystyrene, expanded polypropylene, compressed foam, memory foam, or various other materials. Memory foam is a great replacement if these materials start to age, or if you just want to try something new. Memory foam heats up according to body temperature, which can be a great portable heating solution when you're camping. When temperatures start to dip, use your memory foam as a cushion under your sleeping bags to keep warm. They're also easy to compress and roll up. Standard memory foam is best since it reacts to temperature the most due to its tight cell structure. Both gel and plant-based are less reactive to heat, and thus not as effective for heating. Cut your foam down to a small size that comfortably fits behind your back while you sit. Put them into a standard size pillow case and hold it together using elastic headbands.  The rectangular pillow should be placed horizontally behind your lower back to prevent the natural slouch that affects this region when you sit.  Outdoor fabric, canvas, and cotton duck are...

Cut your paper, measuring first to make sure it covers the whole gift. Then, set your gift in the middle so that the long sides are in front and behind it, and the short sides are to either side. Grab the long side that’s furthest from you and pull it over the top of the gift, then do the same with the other long side. Make sure they overlap and that there’s no gap. Then, use a 1–4 in (2.5–10.2 cm) piece of tape to secure them in place. If your gift is larger, you might need a bigger piece of tape, or even a few separate ones. Use your best judgment to see what works the best. At one of the open ends, pull the wrapping paper down so that it’s flush against the gift. Then, pull one side in to create a triangular fold towards the center. Repeat on the other side until you have one pointed flap of fabric sticking out. Pull the side flaps in as tightly as you can to make the wrapping neat. Continue to hold the side flaps tightly against the center. Then, take the bottom flap and press it up against the gift. Use a small piece of tape to hold it in place. Do the same holding, folding, and taping steps on the other side of the gift to complete your wrapping job. Gently pull out any crinkles at the corners to give it a neater overall look.

Cute clothing tends to be associated with soft colors, not dark ones. Choose clothes with colorful or pastel tones, and stay away from dark colors such as black, gray, and brown.  Pastel blues, purples, and pinks are good options for cute colors. Spend some time looking on Pinterest or fashion blogs for inspiration on how to create cute outfits. Not only are these tops super comfortable, but they give off a very cute and laid-back vibe. Look for loose tops that have lace, ribbons, bows, or any other decorative add-on. Patterned or printed shirts are always a great option, just make sure the colors stay light! Skirts are a great clothing option for looking cute. Choose skirts that are flowy and made of a comfortable fabric. Picking shorts that have flowers, stripes, or another pattern on them will show off your sense of style. Stick to colorful or pastel colors, and make sure your skirts and shorts are school-appropriate.  Be careful not to choose shorts or skirts that are too short, and stick to your school's dress code. If you're not a fan of skirts, no problem! Look for pants that have patterns on them or are made of a unique fabric or color that you like. Embellished jeans are always a cute option, too. The right dress will do wonders for making your outfit look cute. Choose a dress style that’s appropriate for school — short- or long-sleeved dresses are best, but if you’re allowed to wear spaghetti strap dresses, go for it! Pick out dresses in light colors, and look for special additions such as lace or pleats. Some school dress codes will allow you to wear a spaghetti strap dress if you wear a sweater over your shoulders, so see if this is an option for you. To take your outerwear to the next level of cute, find jackets that have their own style.

Cuticle oil is a great way to rehydrate your cuticles after a manicure. The oil will not harm or remove the nail polish. Additionally, cuticle oil is a great way to revamp an old manicure. Just massage the oil over your cuticles and nails to give them a fresh shine. Do not use it before a manicure. The oil will prevent the nail polish from adhering to your nail. If you do decide to use it before a manicure, then make sure to wipe your nails clean with nail polish remover or alcohol. Apply the oil whenever you are riding the bus or sitting in a taxicab, at your work desk, or on the couch while watching TV, for example. Basically, whenever you have some downtime. Apply cuticle oil twice a day, or more if you need to. This is a great way to ensure that your cuticles stay hydrated and nourished for the coming day. Just remember to be persistent and consistent to keep your cuticles looking healthy.
