The “Create” option allows you to create a game that other players can join in. These players maybe on the same LAN as you or not, as long as they have a Steam account and are logged in. Select the “Create” option to bring up the Create Game dialog box. On the dialog box, under “Visibility,” select either:  “Public” to create a game that anyone can join whether or not they are on the same local LAN as you. You can set how many players (the maximum is seven) who can join using the settings on the next page. You are also free to include computer players. “Friends” to create a game that only your friends on Steam can join. The friends can join whether or not they are on the same LAN. “Private” to create a game that only users you invite can join. If you select this, invite players by clicking the “Invite” button at the bottom of the Game Settings page. Type in the Steam username of the player you want to invite, and click “Invite.” The user will be notified through their Steam account that you have requested a game. They can then join your game using the Lobby Browser feature. Once you're done select and or inviting, click the “Create” button at the bottom of the dialogue box to proceed to the Game Settings page. Examples of settings you can select include:   Map style—the type of a map to use, e.g., standard or real world map.

Once you've begun learning the various notes in a scale, pick one note to discern among others. Have a friend play notes in no particular order up and down a keyboard, and keep your ear primed for the note you're listening for. Call out whenever you  think you hear the note and verify whether you were right by checking the location of the key that was pressed. Focus on learning 1 or 2 notes at a time. This way you won't get overwhelmed, and it will make learning other keys and modes easier later on. As a more advanced variation of the previous exercise, have your friend slowly play notes at random and try to name each note as it is played. This is an extremely challenging form of training that requires you to have a practical knowledge of the sonic profile of each note. Challenging yourself to identify notes on the spot will greatly reinforce your recall. Add sharp and flat notes once you're able to call out each note with continual accuracy. A chord is a complex, harmonious sound comprised of several notes being played together in a complementary key. With a sophisticated ear, you should be able to name not only a given chord being played but also the individual notes that make it up. Practice chord work the way you would pick out single notes on a keyboard, calling out a chord when you hear it or recognizing different chords that are being played erratically. Chord recognition is a tough task that can typically only be accomplished by more experienced ears, as the listener must be able to isolate the single notes from a chord as well as identify the chord itself. Pay close attention to the everyday sounds around you. Many odd noises will closely resemble clearer, more sustained musical notes. The next time you hear a car horn, a stray shout, or the chime of an alarm, try to place it as near a note as you can in your mind. This will be easier if you've been making mental associations between musical notes and non-musical sounds, and will enhance your working knowledge at the same time.  Take a tour of your...

Once you've cleaned up your copper piece and sprayed it with the window cleaner, apply the aging compound, covering the object completed. Make sure to get into even the smallest spaces, creating an even coat. Don't over-do it. It's not necessary to soak the piece, so it's dripping all over the place. Just use enough to wet it in an even coat. To create humidity, it's usually recommended that you place the copper object into a plastic bag, or tent it under a piece of plastic to create an artificial environment while the aging compound works. Allow the piece to sit undisturbed for about an hour. If you live in an area with high humidity, or if you apply the mixture during a rainstorm, you do not need the plastic's artificial environment. In general, it's an advantage to try to age copper at the wettest or most humid point in the year, to give yourself the best natural benefit in the environment. Remove the item from the plastic and apply the patina mix again, once more making certain that you have covered the entire metallic surface. Return it to the humidifying bag or tent, and allow it to rest overnight. The amount of coloring you want on your copper piece will be up to you. Remove the piece from the bag each morning and examine it thoroughly, then add more aging compound if necessary and repeat the process if you want to get more color on the piece. In general, you probably won't want to age a piece using this method for too long, especially if you live in a humid climate. Remember that the copper will age naturally with time, as well, so you don't have to do too much to get the effect you want on an object you'll have for a long time. After you've achieved the age coloring you like, spritz a clean cloth with a small amount of window cleaner and wipe it down to get any of the remnants of the aging compound off, and return the copper to it's place.

Once you've cleaned your goat's hooves, you can begin the trimming process. Start with the front of the nail, using your hoof shears to trim. Goats nails become overgrown easily when they're kept domestically. In the wild, their feet would get worn down by climbing and jumping.  Clip at the tip of the front nails. Keep clipping until you see a white surface emerge. Do not clip further than this. If you clip into a pink surface, this can make your goat bleed.  Try to clip in a straight line. You want your goat's hooves to be level to the ground. Once you've clipped the front nails, move on to the sides of the nails. Keep using the hoof shears. Goats have two toes on each foot, as well as two heels on each toe. Clip on the sides around these toes, once again clipping until you reach the white part of the hoof. Clip around the heel as well. Remember, you want your goat's hooves to be level with the ground. This helps your goat walk smoothly. Now, you'll be using your rasp or knife to level the bottom of the hoof.  If you use a knife, move from the toe to the heel. If you use a rasp, move from the heel to the toe.  Use multiple strokes, trimming off a very thin layer with each stroke. Keep trimming until the goat's hooves are flat and level with the ground. Stop if you start to see pink.

Once you've decided the shape you want the desert rose to have, you can identify which branches you'll need to cut back. Use your sterilized cutting tool to cut about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the flower node or junction where the branches split. Cutting at a 45-degree angle allows the branch to heal more quickly. If you cut at a 90-degree angle, water can collect in the branch and cause it to rot. Look at the desert rose for any rotting branches that are black, dark brown, or yellow. Cut off these branches at a 45-degree angle. When you prune these branches, cut enough of the branch that only the healthy part remains For example, if you cut away a rotten branch and see black or brown in the branch close to the caudex, make another cut that's closer to the caudex so you get to healthy tissue. Check the desert rose for any branches that are tangled or growing into the center of the plant. If any branches are broken, thin, or leggy, you might want to prune them too. Remember to prune these away at a 45-degree angle. Use your disinfected pruning shears or cutting blade to cut back each branch at a 45-degree angle. For example, if 1 branch is 6 inches (15 cm) long, you'd cut 2 inches (5 cm) off of it. Or if another branch is 9 inches (22 cm) long, prune away 3 inches (7.5 cm). If you're cutting a desert rose that's the size of a small tree or shrub, you may want to use sterilized loppers to make pruning easier. If you're cutting to dramatically change the shape of the plant, step back and look at which branches will need to be cut. For example, you might need to completely cut back branches that stick out to the side if you're trying to create a small, rounded desert rose.

Once you've decided to move on, don't take the person's calls. Unless you really, truly want to make up with the person, it's best to any communication from them. Once again, you don't want to feed their ego or be persuaded by their rhetoric. Of course, it may do some good to keep the person around on social media, so they can see how great your life is. That way, the person knows what he or she has lost. Being cheated on comes with a whole range of emotions. You probably expect anger and sadness, but you may be surprised that you also feel shame and emptiness. You may find yourself annoyed or possessive. You may even feel relief because you have finally figured out what's going on with your relationship. All of these feelings are perfectly normal.  The first step in dealing with your emotions is figuring out just what you're feeling. Try spending some time journaling to help you identify your emotions.  Discussing it with a friend can also help you figure out what you're feeling.  Don't be afraid to talk to a therapist. If you feel like your emotions are overwhelming you, it's perfectly normal to accept professional help. You may be thinking that it's partially your fault that the person cheated. While you may be partially responsible for letting the relationship go, it was the other person's choice to cheat. However, you can learn from what happened. In the future, trust yourself when the relationship doesn't feel quite right, and take steps to make it better. For instance, stop to talk to your partner when you feel like something has gone wrong. This step may feel counter-intuitive to getting revenge. However, holding on to your anger only makes you unhappy and keeps you from moving on.  Forgiveness starts with identifying your anger and feelings toward the person, which you've already worked on in this section.  The next step is to see if you can find why the person did what he or she did. That means trying to find compassion for the partner to figure out how he or she got to the point of cheating. ...

Once you've determined that you can't access the account of the person whom you suspect blocked you, contact a friend of yours who was also a friend of the other person and ask them if the person's account is still live. If they confirm that the account is still active, you know you've been blocked. This is the only way to ensure that you've been blocked (or haven't been blocked) without contacting the person directly, but some will consider it to be an invasion of privacy. If you follow the person on Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, or some other social media site, check to see if you suddenly can't find their account. This might indicate that they've blocked you here as well. Alternatively, look for an indication that they deleted their Facebook page. Many people will announce that they have closed their Facebook account on alternate social media. Ultimately, the only way to be sure that someone has blocked you is by asking them directly. If you choose to do this, make sure it isn't in a threatening or abrasive manner. You must also be prepared to hear that they have indeed blocked you, however hard that may be to hear. Only do this as a last resort—if a long-term friend has blocked you, for example, it might be worth talking to them to try to salvage the relationship. Otherwise, it might be best to take the hit and move on.

Once you've done a reality check and realize that you really are dreaming, try to stay calm and not get too excited about the fact that you're dreaming. If you do this, then it's likely that you'll wake up. Instead, stay calm and immersed in the world of your dreams, and start to control small things before you build up toward something more elaborate.  You can start carefully trying to change the scenery or just to move through the space of your dream. You can start to touch things, and attempt to make small objects appear or disappear. Once you're comfortably lucid dreaming and feel like you have a fair amount of control over your dreams, you can start to aim a bit higher when you try to control your dreams. You can make yourself fly, summon people, change the scenery completely, trying to return to a place from your childhood or even to travel through time. As you get more and more used to lucid dreaming, you'll be able to have the dreams you want more regularly. When you wake up, remember to record the dream. Mark the point at which you realized you were lucid dreaming, and write down all of the things you were and were not able to do. If there's something you are never able to do when you're lucid dreaming, such as flying, then ask yourself what's holding you back. Once you're dreaming and have recognized that you're in a dream, you should tell yourself that you're dreaming every so often. If you don't do this, then you may forget that you are actually dreaming, and you won't feel as in control of everything that is happening. If you keep reminding yourself that you are dreaming, then you will feel more capable of changing and controlling your dream situation. One thing you can try to do when you're lucid dreaming is to fly. You may not be able to fly at first, but you can build yourself up to get there. You can tell yourself, "Okay, now I'm going to fly," to make yourself get into the mindset of being ready to fly. You can start hopping around, jumping up and down, and moving your body in an upwards...

Once you've figured out what some of your problems are together, talk about solutions together. How can you solve the problem in a way that both of you can live with? In other words, you need to look for common ground.  Start with the place you both agree on. Maybe you can both agree on the problem at least, or maybe you can agree on the first step to the solution. For instance, maybe you agree that you are feeling disconnected. Maybe you can take it one step further and agree that you need to spend more time together. Once you've agreed to solutions, it's time to put them into concrete terms. For instance, if you both agree you need to spend more time, then maybe the agreement will be that you should make a date at least once a week. Everyone responds to situations differently, meaning that everyone has different emotional needs. For instance, maybe your partner needs more together time after things have been tough, so try to be there for him or her. When you feel the need to snap at your partner, examine what you're feeling. Instead of snapping, communicate how it is making you feel and why. In other words, you need to continually work on how you communicate with your partner, as your partner cannot be expected to guess what you're thinking or feeling. For instance, if your partner mentions going out to dinner at a place she likes, you may want to snap at her for spending money if your budget is tight. Instead, say something such as, "Spending money right now makes me anxious because we've had a hard time making it to payday. Can we compromise and take a picnic out somewhere?" While it can be tempting to focus solely on your relationship, you also need to spend time developing your own interests. You bring more to a relationship when you are your own independent person, so spending time away from each other is important. Even if your partner doesn't want to join you, counseling can still help your relationship. It will help because you're starting to change yourself and the way you interact with other...

Once you've found the Big Dipper, you should be able to easily spot the little Dipper.  Remember that the two farthest most stars in the Big Dipper's handle point to the North Star. The North Star is the first star in the handle of the Little Dipper. The Little Dipper is not as bright as the Big Dipper. It looks similar to the Big Dipper, though. It has a handle made up of three stars that connects to a four-star bowl. It is harder to find the Little Dipper because the stars are not as bright in it, especially if you are in a city. The Big Dipper is what is called an asterism. That means it is a pattern of stars that is not a constellation. It is part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Big Bear.  The Big Dipper stars are the bear's tail and hindquarters. The Ursa Major constellation can be best seen in April at around 9 p.m. Using a drawing for reference (there are many online) should help you sketch out the rest of the stars that form the Big Bear once you find the Big Dipper.

Once you've got the mechanics of your shot down, practice shooting from different parts of the court. For this exercise it helps to have a friend or teammate grab your rebounds and pass the ball back quickly. This drill involves at least 7 positions, but you can tailor it to your needs. You have to make each shot before you move to the next position on the court. Do it as quickly and with as few shots as possible.  Start by shooting a lay-up. Run immediately to the baseline at a point in between the lane line and the three-point line. Have your friend pass you the ball and keep shooting from there until you make it. From there, run to a point in between the corner of the lane and the baseline and shoot again. Then move to the corner, then the free-throw line. Keep moving around the lane until you've made your way around. Expand the game to include the same points on the three-point line when you're consistently making shots in the lane.

Once you've got the practical business matters well in hand, cultivate and maintain the aesthetic layers of your record label. Create a logo and make sure you use your logo and "look" on your physical labels, on your website, and on all stationary, t-shirts, mugs, etc. Sign bands and acts that fit in with the particular image you hope to cultivate.  Check out successful DIY labels Sub Pop and Matador records for examples of brand management, who maintain a fiercely independent business model that's also quite diverse. Over the last ten years, the Internet has drastically changed the way music is purchased, listened to, and distributed. You may face a hard road to success if you're using the traditional model of touring and relying on CD sales and radio play. YouTube videos and pay-what-you-want models are increasingly popular in maintaining the success of your brand.  Consider promotional gimmicks, like printing t-shirts with the download code for a label mixtape on the tag. Goner records, a Memphis-based garage/punk label, even offered free 7-inch records to anyone who got "Goner" tattooed to their body and showed it at the store. Sub Pop started by focusing on local Pacific Northwest grunge bands, but now features a diverse array of more mainstream sounds, like Iron & Wine and Fleet Foxes. With this expansion of the kinds of sounds they embrace, their success and share of the market has grown considerably. Even if you're focusing right now on tween pop stars, consider taking ways in which you might crossover and fit other sounds and images into your brand.  In the early 90's, major labels were much more willing to take risks on unknown or "underground" acts. Sonic Youth, a noisy independent art band from New York, found themselves in a unique position after being offered a big deal by Geffen, and the signing was applauded by both label executives and music fans. If your label is bringing in money, consider throwing a curveball by releasing a project from left field.

Once you've got your degrees, you'll want to find a teaching or research position in which to work. Teaching at universities is where most professional scholars end up. Your college should have resources to help you find a job after you graduate. Try to find positions with good benefits and pay, as you will likely have to pay back a large number of loans. Try to get a position with a college or university, since you will have many resources available to you at institutions like this that you would not have elsewhere. Most colleges and universities allow professors to work full time and earn tenure.  Tenure provides those in the academic profession with some benefits, including protection from termination without due process or without cause. Typically tenure at a top-ranked research institution requires some degree of demonstrable funding (especially in sciences and engineering disciplines) and a strong record of publications. There is also a 7-year trial period to determine whether you are eligible for tenure. Being a good teacher with an undistinguished research record will typically not get you tenure. In sciences and engineering, starting assistant professors are typically given funds to build a lab, buy specialized equipment and supplies, and get their projects off the ground. This would usually be thought of by the junior faculty members as an investment that their university has made in them. They should try very hard to make good on this investment through securing their own funding, typically 2-3x their startup, before coming up for tenure. As a professor, you'll be required to teach classes in your subject. Some will be closely related to the subject you study but some might be a bit of a stretch, especially when you're just starting out. This means that you will have to talk in front of other people. Sometimes it will be a very large number of people, if you're teaching large freshman lecture classes. Don't be intimidated though. You'll get practice in teaching classes while you are in graduate...

Once you've gotten the conversation going, you can start to search for common ground so you and the girl can find something else to talk about. Though you don't actually have to have anything in common to have a great conversation, finding common ground can help you make a connection a bit more easily. When you talk to the girl, try to see if you can find something you share, whether it's a love for a certain sport or sports team, the fact that you grew up in the same place, or even a shared friend or teacher.  Talking about something you share can lead you to open up, see that you can have an exciting conversation, and to talk about new topics. For example, you can start by talking about how much you both love the 49ers, and then you can share your craziest stories about visiting their stadium, and from there, you may end up discussing your favorite things to do in San Francisco, and so on. Let the things you both share come up naturally instead of trying too hard to ask her if she likes the same things you do. Keep things open ended, so the conversation doesn't shut down if it turns out she doesn't share your interests. For example, instead of saying, "Did you see Frozen? That's my new favorite movie," you can say, "Have you seen anything interesting lately?" This is another way to keep the conversation going and to show the girl that you really like talking to her and that she means something to you. If you ask for her opinion, from what she thinks about the current political situation to whether she likes your new shoes, she'll see that you see her as a human being and that you really value what she brings to the table. She'll see that you're not just trying to hit on her but actually care about her, and that you respect her as a person. Don't ask her questions that can only be answered with a "yes" or a "no" and ask open-ended questions instead, so she has room to talk. Try "What do you think about…" instead of "Do you think that…" If you're nervous and feel like the conversation is flagging, look around...

Once you've progressed beyond the basic introduction, continue the conversation by telling them a little about yourself. Especially if you're traveling, talking about where you're from is a good next step. Use the phrase "soy de" to introduce the place where you're from. If you currently live somewhere other than your hometown, you might also use "vivo en" ("live in").  For example, you might say "soy de Chicago" ("I'm from Chicago"). You could also say "soy de Chicago, pero vivo en Santiago" ("I'm from Chicago, but I live in Santiago"). To ask the person where they're from, say "¿de dondé eres tú?" "What do you do?" is one of the first questions people ask when they're meeting someone new, and this is no different in Spanish. You can use "soy" with your general job title to say what you do, or you can use "trabajo con" to talk about a more general field.  For example, you might say "soy maestra" ("I'm a teacher) or "trabajo con animales" ("I work with animals"). To ask someone what they do for a living, say "¿A qué te dedicas?" ("What do you do?") To talk about things you like, you only need to add the words "me gusta" (MAY GOO-stah) before the Spanish word for the thing that you like. This lets the person you're talking to know a little more about you and your interests. Any one of these things might strike up a conversation. For example, you might say "Me gustan los animales" ("I like animals"). The other person could reply "¡A mi tambien! ¿Tienes mascota?" ("Me too! Do you have a pet?"). You could then say "Sí, un perro y un gato." ("Yes, a dog and a cat.") Knowing basic question words allows you to engage the other person in the conversation. After you say something about yourself, you can ask them for the same information about themselves.  You already know cómo from "cómo estas" ("how are you"). Cuál means "which," while qué means "what." Just as you might say "what?" in English if you didn't hear or understand what someone said, you can say "¿que?" in Spanish. Other question words include dónde...

Once you've set the right mood, you should begin to turn your girl on by making her feel at home. If she's relaxed, she's more likely to hook up. Here's how to do it:  Hang up her coat and have her take off her shoes. She'll feel more at ease once she does. Offer her a drink. Don't force her to drink, but pour her a glass of wine if she wants one. If she's drinking, you should drink too so she doesn't feel self-conscious. Compliment her. Make your woman feel good by letting her know how much you like her. Tell her how great she looks, what an amazing time you're having, or how much you love the way she laughs. When your lady is relaxed, she'll want you to come closer to her. Don't be shy! Get next to her and begin touching her in subtle ways to initiate foreplay. Here's how to do it:  Sit next to her and let your legs touch. Put your arm around her. If she's really into it, start playing with her hair. If she's wearing dangly earrings, gently hold one in your hand and say how much you like it while your fingers brush against her earlobes. Let your hands graze, and even hold her hand and caress her fingers if she wants you to. Give her a sexy massage. Massage her shoulders, her lower back, or even her biceps. This will surely turn her on and help her let loose. Kissing is the first big move you'll make, and you have to get it right if you want to take your night to the next level. To be the perfect kisser, you need to find an irresistible kissing style. Here's how to do it:  Be gentle. Kiss her gently at first, without using too much tongue. Lightly graze your lips, and slowly touch the tip of your tongue to hers. If she's receptive, move your tongue deeper into her mouth, but take it slowly. Leave her wanting more. Take breaks from kissing to lock eyes, brush back her hair, or to start kissing her gently on the nape of her neck or her shoulders. Don't just kiss without stopping for hours on end.

Once you've settled on an realistic goal, your first step is to create a detailed plan for achieving it.  This should be fairly easy at this point. You have already written down the steps and potential obstacles you might face. The main parts of your plan are already developed. You may need to get a little more specific with your steps. For example, if you are applying to a music school, you'll want to include the details of the application process in your plan. You might need to get letters of recommendation. There might be an essay to write, a form to fill out, and/or an audition. Completing all of these should be in your plan. The steps should be defined specifically enough that it will be clear when you have achieved each one.  It's also a good idea to develop contingency plans for the obstacles you anticipated. If you aren't accepted to your first choice school, will you apply to other schools? Or wait and apply to your first choice again after strengthening your application? Come up with a goal/sub-goal statement which is measurable and time bound. For example: "I will save 20% of my weekly pay for the next 12 months and will purchase my cello on June 1st 2016." Many people find having a specific timeline in their plan helps make their goal more achievable. It helps you track your progress an stay accountable. For example, you might aim to have money saved for a cello in six months. You might start lessons the following month. You might aim to have mastered the basics by the end of the year, and so on. Once you've got a detailed plan, pick a date to begin and dive in! The only way to achieve your goal is to put in the necessary time and effort. Picking a date that's at least a few days in the future can help you build anticipation and motivation as the date approaches. Once you get started, keep track of your progress. You can use a journal, an app, or a simple calendar.  Tracking your progress helps keep you accountable to the deadlines you've set.  It also helps you see the progress you've made as you...

Once you've squeezed the juice out of the lemon, cut it up into small pieces and add these pieces to the water as well. If you don't have a whole lemon, you can also use lemon juice; just mix it in a 1:3 ratio with water.  Check the manufacturer's instructions for your particular kettle to make sure it's safe to add lemon juice or pieces of lemon to your kettle. It probably is, but it doesn't hurt to double-check. You can also use limes, although you'll probably see better results by using lemon. Allow the solution to boil for about a minute or so before turning it off. Unplug your kettle or remove it from heat and set it aside on a cool surface. Leaving it for an hour is ideal, but let it sit for at least 30 minutes if you're pressed for time. This will give the solution enough time to descale the kettle, while also allowing enough time for the kettle itself to cool down.

Once you've stopped the bleeding, you need to wash out the wound. Use soap and water to clean it out, making sure to remove any dirt from the wound. This may be more easily done under running water or even in a shower.  If some of the dirt in the wound is stubborn, you can pluck it out with tweezers. Make sure to clean the tweezers with rubbing alcohol before using them so you don't introduce more bacteria. If you can't get the wound completely clean, talk to your doctor. Use antibiotic ointment to lightly cover the wound. The idea is to keep the wound slightly moist. The point of the ointment is to help prevent infection. Once you've applied the ointment, it's time to cover it. You can use a regular adhesive bandage or simply sterile gauze and medical tape. Make sure the dressing covers the whole wound. If it's just a minor scrape, however, you can leave it uncovered. Covering it helps keep infection out. You should change the bandage at least once a day. In addition, you should change it if it's gotten wet or soiled. Therefore, if it's near your hands, you may need to change it frequently as you wash your hands throughout the day.  As you change it, check on the cut. Once it's healed enough to be mostly scabbed over, you can leave the bandage off. Watch for signs of infection, which include pus, redness, swelling, decreased mobility, and tenderness. The skin around the cut may also feel warm. Call your doctor if you suspect infection.

Once you've told her everything you want to say, it's time to give her some space. The worst thing you can do to earn a girl's trust back is to call her or show up at her place constantly until she feels completely suffocated by you. Instead, let her know that you'll be stepping back and waiting for her to reach out when she's ready. This doesn't mean that you should completely cease communication, but it does mean that you should back off for a while until she's ready to talk to you.  You can check in with a text or a phone call every few days, but only if she does sound like she wants to talk to you -- however reluctantly. If you want to be sweet, you can send her flowers, but don't overdo it. If she's really angry, then she won't be ready for your gifts. You can do something small, like write her a letter, to let her know that she's on your mind without overwhelming her. If you do run in to her, be kind and friendly, but don't talk to her for too long or make her feel like she's getting ambushed. Giving it time is just as important as giving the girl space. You have to be patient and wait for her to come around instead of forcing it and pretending like everything is exactly like it was before. To do this, you'll have to be patient, even if you are hanging out a lot, and know that the girl won't rush back into your arms after you've lied. Don't ask her if she forgives you every two seconds, and don't try to book elaborate vacations or to go on romantic dates; instead, take it slow, and wait for her to make the move.  Even if you are hanging out again, don't expect things to be the same. Be more cautious about touching, complementing, or generally spending time with her. Don't get frustrated. It's natural that you wish that everything was completely forgotten instantly, but that's not the way the world works. Act natural. You don't have to bring up your lie all the time. Just be more cautious without being too obvious about it, and wait for her to trust you again. If you want your girl to trust you again,...

Once your account is registered with Mojang, you should be able to log in to the Minecraft launcher. When you log in, you may notice the launcher downloading additional files via a progress bar at the bottom of the window — this is normal. Note that you will need an internet connection to log in so that your information can be verified with the Mojang servers. At the bottom of the launcher window, you should see a large "Play Demo" button. Click this button to launch the game. The launcher will close and a new game window will open. Click "Play Demo World" on the title screen. Congratulations — you should now be playing Minecraft for free. If this is your first time playing, consider reading our Minecraft article to orient yourself. It's important to note that the demo version isn't the full version of the game — it's meant to be just a taste of what the full version contains. The biggest differences you may notice between the two versions are:  The demo version of the game is limited to a 100-minute play session. After that, you can still visit the world, but you cannot break or place blocks. The demo version of the game doesn't allow you to connect to servers. However, you can still play LAN multiplayer games. If you want the full game without having to pay, you can play version 1.2.5 (Which is around the time Jungles were added) and below, they do not require you to pay to play the full game. If you have a friend who owns a copy of Minecraft, one easy way to play the full game on your computer is simply to use his or her login details. Do this only with your friend's permission — preferably, in his or her presence. Never use another person's account for illegal distribution of the game, as this can get your friend's account permanently revoked. Note that the Minecraft End User License Agreement (EULA) specifies that "[Mojang gives] you permission to install the Game on your own personal computer and use and play it on that computer."

Once your ankle is healed enough to move without pain, your doctor may recommend some exercises to help strengthen the ligaments. The type of exercises and the number of sets will depend on the severity of the sprain, so follow your doctor’s recommendations. Some useful exercises may include:  Slowly rotate your ankle in small circles. Start by doing a set clockwise. Once you’ve completed a set going clockwise, do another set going counterclockwise. Try to trace the alphabet in the air with your toes. Sit straight and comfortably in a chair. Set your injured foot flat on the floor. Then, shift your knee from side to side, slowly and gently, for about 2-3 minutes, keeping your foot flat on the floor the whole time. After an ankle sprain, the calf muscles often get tight. It is important to stretch these to get your normal range of motion back. If you don't, it could lead to further injuries. As with strengthening exercises, be sure to consult your doctor before performing any stretches to make sure your ankle is healed enough to properly perform the motions.  Sit on the floor with your leg extended out in front of you. Wrap a towel around the ball of your foot. Then, try to pull the towel toward your body while keeping your leg straight. Try to hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds. If the stretch is too painful, start by holding it for just a couple of seconds and gradually increasing your time. Repeat the stretch 2 to 4 times. Stand with your hands on a wall and place your injured foot about a step behind your other foot. Keep your heel on the floor and slowly bend your knee until you feel a stretch in your calf. Hold the stretch, breathing slowly and evenly, for 15-30 seconds. Then, repeat the exercise 2-4 more times. Balance is often affected following an ankle sprain. Once your sprain is healed, try some exercises to help restore your balance and prevent any future sprains or injuries..  Purchase a wobble board or stand on a firm cushion.

Once your body is positioned correctly, you are ready to play the flute. Blow a steady, strong stream of air through your embouchure into one of the pan flute’s tubes. Make minor adjustments to your embouchure and the flute’s positioning so that you achieve the sound you want. When you blow air into the flute, you can alter the resulting sound by moving your tongue to pronounce different consonant letter sounds. The primary letter sound you use when playing a pan flute is a T sound. You can also make B, P, or D sounds to subtly change the pan flute sound. A musical scale has full notes (such as C, B, A) and half-notes (such as C sharp, E flat, and so on). The tubes on a pan flute produce full notes, but you can use different playing techniques to achieve half-notes and therefore expand the repertoire of music you can play. To play half-notes, try one of these techniques:   Tilt the flute: Tilt the bottom of the pan flute away from you so that your lower lip covers part of the tube opening. Draw the flute down slightly against your lip at the same time.  Retract your jaw: You can also retract your jaw to play half-notes. Pull your chin backwards while directing air into one of the tubes. Bending notes are a way to add musicality and depth to your playing. A bent note is one sound that starts as a flat note sound and moves upward to land on the correct note, or a sharp note sound and moves downward to land on the correct note. To bend a note: Tilt flute away from your body to bend a note downward. Keep the airflow constant. Staccato notes are short, almost sharp sounding notes. These are helpful especially when you are playing fast music. To play a staccato note, pronounce a sharp T sound, bringing your tongue to touch the back of your front teeth quickly. A vibrato is a wavering sound that adds dimension to your playing. Change the strength of the air flow into a tube from strong to weak over and over to add a vibrato, or wavering, sound.,  You can also get a vibrato sound by moving the pan flute towards and...

Once your car is solidly running it is time to remove the jumper cables.  Start by removing the black clip attached to the metal ground. You should first remove the black clip from the good battery.  Next you will remove the red clip from the same battery. Now the cables should be completely disconnected and you can put them away.  You can also close the hoods of both cars. As your motor runs it turns your alternator.  This in turn charges your battery.  You should allow your battery to charge up for a few minutes before hitting the road. Sometimes the cause of a dead battery is as simple as cold weather or forgetting to turn your lights off.  Other times there can be a more serious issue such as a bad alternator.  If you suspect this is the case you should follow up with a mechanic.

Once your cast is removed, you may notice that the muscles surrounding your broken bone look shriveled and weak. If that's the case, then you need to consider some form of rehabilitation. A physical therapist can show you specific and tailored stretches, mobilizations and strengthening exercises for your injured area. Physiotherapy is usually required 2-3x per week for 4-8 weeks to positively impact an area that's experienced a broken bone. Often the physical therapist can give you exercises to do at home, and you may not need to return many times.  If need be, a physical therapist can stimulate, contract and strengthen your weak muscles with electrotherapy, such as electronic muscle stimulation. Even after your cast or brace is removed, you may need to limit your activities until the bone is solid enough for normal activity. Chiropractors and osteopaths are musculoskeletal specialists who focus on establishing normal motion and function within joints, bones and muscles. Manual joint manipulation, also called an adjustment, can be used to unjam or reposition joints that are misaligned or stiff due to the trauma that caused your broken bone. Healthy joints allow bones to move and heal properly.  You can often hear a "popping" sound with an adjustment, which is not at all related to the sounds related to a broken bone. Although a single adjustment can sometimes completely restore a joint to full mobility, more than likely it will take 3-5 treatments to notice significant results. Acupuncture involves sticking thin needles into specific energy points within the skin / muscle in efforts to reduce pain and inflammation (helpful for the acute phase of a broken bone) and to potentially stimulate healing. Acupuncture is not commonly recommended for healing broken bones, and should only be considered as a secondary option, but anecdotal reports suggest it can stimulate healing for many different types of musculoskeletal injuries. It's worth a try if your budget allows for it.  Based on the principles of traditional...

Once your cuttings get established and grow into young plants (usually by late spring) it’s good practice to pinch them to encourage new stems to form – this leads to bushy growth and more blooms.  Traditionally this is done on June 1st but anytime in early summer — once the plant has just over six leaf stems — is fine. Count the bottom six leaf stems on the main stem of the plant. Remove the main stem about a quarter inch above the upper leaf stem leaving only 6 leaf stems on the plant. You can use the pinched off part of the plant as a cutting and try to root it. Just remove the lower leaves from the cut piece, shorten the stem to about 4 inches (10.2 cm) in length and repeat the steps in the sections above for rooting cuttings. After a few weeks you’ll see vigorous stems form below where you pinched the plant. You might like to disbud at this stage. This means removing any developing stems at the base of the main plant stem. It’s best to leave three or maybe four healthy stems at the top of the plant whilst removing any growing further down the stem. When flowering ends, cut the chrysanthemum plant back to about 8 inches (20.3 cm) from the ground. This helps the plant to store more energy for winter.

Once your date arrives, steer them gently towards your chosen snuggle location and ask them to sit down.  Ask them if they'd like a drink or something to eat -- you want to make sure all of their needs are taken care of in advance so that something as silly as "needing a glass of water" won't disrupt your snuggling later on. Tell them that they're welcome to take their shoes off and snuggle up under the blanket -- you want them to be as comfortable as possible. Start the movie or TV show or game or whatever other activity you had planned for the evening. Sit down next to your date -- as close as you feel comfortable with -- so you can set the snuggle plan in motion.  Try resting your arm on the back of the couch behind your date's head (this works well for guys, it may feel somewhat unnatural for girls). The when you've built up the courage, you can transfer your arm to your date's shoulder. Try grabbing your date's hand. You can just hold it or you can play with it, stroking the individual fingers and massaging the palm. You could start playing with your date's hair (guy or girl), twisting it around or stroking it (without pulling). Alternatively, you could try massaging their neck or tugging gently on their earlobe. Really, it doesn't matter what you do as long as you are touching your date -- the point is to initiate physical contact so you can easily segue into a full-on snuggle. Once you've broken the touch barrier and start to feel confident, you can smoothly transition into a complete snuggle.  Guys can do this by wrapping their arm around their date's shoulders and pulling her closer. This will allow her to rest her head on their chest or shoulders. Girls can grab the guy's arm and sort of hug it, while resting their head on his shoulder or chest. If you want to get really comfy, you can also rest your legs across the guy's lap (just make sure this isn't uncomfortable for him). Congratulations -- you are snuggling!

Once your ears are stretched to your desired diameter, some tingling and soreness is common. You can help lessen pain by massaging your ears regularly. Wait a few days after the initial stretching before massaging to avoid infection. Use a small amount of your chosen massage oil, which you can buy online or at a local beauty shop, and gently rub into your ears. Do this on a regular basis, a few times a day, until discomfort passes. This helps increase blood flow which can promote healing. Saline solution, which can be purchased at most drug stores, can also help soothe ears after stretching. Use such foams or sprays sparingly, and only once or twice daily. If you notice any side effects, like increased soreness, cease use.  You can make your own saline solution by combining 1/8 teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water.  Rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide should be avoided on a healing ear. If you have pain or bleeding after sizing up, downsize immediately. Pain or bleeding in your ears is a sign something is wrong. It will not, like soreness or tingling, pass over on its own. You should move down a size in tapers or taping. If the soreness and bleeding persists, contact a doctor for evaluation. After you've stretched your ears to the desired diameter, wait a few weeks. If you do not have any trouble like soreness or bleeding, you can resume wearing jewelry. For the first few weeks, stick to jewelry made from silicone or organic materials. If you don't have any trouble with such materials, you can move on to double flared jewelry.

Once your favourite show ends, nothing else you watch is going to feel like it fills the void. Considering the sort of time investment that's usually incurred with watching a show, it may be time to take a break from TV. Do other things; read books, play video games, see friends, focus on hobbies. If you have just finished a show on its first-run, there will be a lot of other people in the exact same position as you. A great show ending doesn't feel great, but the empty feeling can be alleviated by sharing your thoughts with others. Make a post outlining your opinions on the show wrap-up. Online posts can spark an engaging conversation about what you just saw. Sharing the loss with other people will make it feel better. If your existing friends aren't huge into the show you're interested in, take to the internet and befriend fans of the show. If only so you have people to geek out over your favourite parts with, fellow fans are a great way to intensify your appreciation for parts of a show. A show's first-run comes with the social aspect of being able to discuss it the morning after an episode airs. The same should be true when the show ends. Fanfiction refers to a genre of fiction (prose, play or poetry) written by fans about their favorite fictional characters. If you can't bear the thought of your favorite show ending, why not continue writing the show yourself? Pick up where the characters were in the final episode and start their story anew from there. If you're really passionate and knowledgeable about the show, you should have at least some idea of where the characters would go next.  If a show's fandom is big enough, it's quite likely that other writers have penned their own fanfictions about the show already. Go to sites like FanFiction and read some work about your favorite characters.  Remember to give credit to the creator of a TV show or the author of a book. If you know people who are also mourning the loss of the show, you should get them together for dinner and drinks. Sit around and discuss...

Once your fig tree reaches its third dormant season, or third winter, the vast majority of your pruning should take place during the late portion of the season since the tree is not actively growing during that time period. Wait until after the coldest part of the season has passed, though.  Pruning during the winter reduces the risk of shocking or damaging the tree during its early stages of growth, but doing so also makes the process easier since the lack of leaves will make the branches more visible. You could wait to do this pruning until early spring, if desired, but it should be done before the fig tree shows signs of new growth. A sucker is a branch that begins to grow from the base or roots of the fig tree. It can look similar to the tree itself but can be identified by the fact that it does not stem from the main branch or trunk of the tree.  Suckers result from a tree's attempt at growing more branches, but if the tree is stressed or spliced, it can put out suckers instead of healthy branches from the main trunk. Suckers need to be removed. If you do not prune these branches, they will drain energy from the main, healthy tree, and your fig tree will gradually weaken and produce a smaller yield as a result. Similarly, secondary lateral branches should also be removed if they grow close to the ground. These plants will be unable to adequately support fruit or foliage, so they would only be a drain on the tree's resources if they remained, just as most suckers are. If part of your fig tree shows signs of disease, you need to remove those branches to prevent the disease from spreading to the rest of the tree. Similarly, you need to cut off dead or dying wood. Dead wood is unsightly, but more importantly, it can invite disease as it decays. Note that if one of your main fruiting branches becomes damaged, you should remove it and select a newly formed sucker or branch late the following winter as a new fruiting branch for your tree. New growth that does not emerge from the fruiting wood you designated...

Once your overall plan is complete, you'll need to work alongside top managers to make sure that they can develop a meaningful operations plan to accomplish their goal. For instance, it's not enough to install equipment that will save workers time to construct auto parts; you must also factor in the time and cost of re-training employees and details like installing and receiving the new equipment.  An operational plan may include things like re-training, or changing an existing operation to be more efficient or utilize newly acquired equipment or hardware. Another operational plan may include notifying or sending out memos to employees on a change in policy. Holding team members accountable for their results will make a more reliable team. Having the right team is critical for implementing a strategic plan effectively. Make sure to be specific about deadlines and the consequences for not completing a task.  Have an open and honest conversation with employees who meet deadlines. If they consistently miss them, consider finding someone else that can meet the requirements for the job. If you must talk to an employee, you can say something like, "Bill, I know that there's been a lot of operational disruption this month, but you've consistently missed the last three deadlines in a row. Can you explain what you think is stopping you from meeting the deadlines?" If you need to fire someone because they miss deadlines, you can say something like "Joe, your progress has been less than acceptable for the last month or two and your missed deadlines are affecting the rest of the team's progress. I'm going to have to ask you to pack your stuff and leave." Check with HR to make sure that firing the employee is consistent with legal guidelines and company policy. Continue to monitor the progress of your strategic plan once you implement it. Consider whether your plan or tactics have helped you reach your goals. If you haven't reached your goals, it's time to evaluate your plan again and figure out if it's an aspect of the...

Once your parents have decided how to proceed, do not argue. Arguing or complaining about your parents' plans will only make them angry. Even if you feel frustrated by new rules, accept them with maturity to avoid making your parents angrier. To keep your own emotions in check, remember why your parents are angry. Grades are important for your future. They can help you get into a good college and eventually get a good job. It can be stressful to deal with your parents' anger, but they want what's best for you. Immediately start trying harder to bring your grades up. This will prevent your parents from becoming angry in the future.   Pay attention during class by taking notes, avoiding electronics, and not sitting near friends.  Ask questions if anything confuses you and schedule a private meeting with your teacher.  Avoid procrastinating on your homework and study for tests and quizzes well in advance. Keep talking to your parents about school, even when things are going well. Let them know how you did on a quiz, any subjects you're struggling with, and other details of your academic life. Open communication helps your parents know when you may need help. This can prevent bad grades in the future.

Once your sow has given birth, let her clean the pups on her own. This can help minimize the risk of transmitting bacteria to the new pups or the mother rejecting them. It is also important that the mother massages the area around the lungs to help the pups to breathe.  If the pup is removed from being massaged, it might die. The mother or other cage mates will eat the placenta and membranes. When pups are born, they should appear fully functional and like miniature adults. In the case that a pup doesn’t appear normal, consult your vet.  Newborn pups should have hair, wide open eyes, a full set of teeth and be able to run around like other guinea pigs.  The pups do not require a heat lamp or heating pad as long as the room is warm.  They should be kept at the same comfortable temperature as the parents.  The mother may reject one of the pups, often the runt of the litter. There may be nothing wrong with this pup however, so hand-feed and continue to place with the mother. Try some one-on-one between the pup and mother. Guinea pigs are not especially protective or proactive with their young, but give the mother and pups a full day after birth before you handle them. After this, you can handle them as much as you like. It is encouraged to handle the pups to help socialize them. Continue to provide alfalfa hay and extra food pellets while the mother nurses. This will help ensure the sow stays healthy as she feeds her pups and minimize the risk that her milk quality is poor. The sow may begin to wean her pups at 14-21 days of age. However piglets can eat solid food from as soon as five days (because they are born so well developed) so if the mother rejects a piglet, make sure solid food is available and he may well start to eat for himself. One day following the birth and occasionally thereafter, examine the mother and pups. This will help you identify “lethals” and any other conditions. Consult a vet if you notice any medical issues or have questions.  The pups' size  will vary though should be around 2½ to 3½...

Once your weaknesses are identified, you need a plan to beat them. Set goals for yourself with time limits. Under each goal, create actionable steps that allow you to stay on track and succeed.  For example, if your public speaking skills are weak, make it a goal that you can give a confident presentation. You can plan out actionable steps like writing a speech, delivering the speech to an empty room, then to one person, then to several people. Eventually, you’ll be confident enough to deliver the speech to a public audience. Tell other people about your goals to make yourself accountable for them. You may even ask a trusted friend or mentor to be an accountability partner. They should check in every now and then to see how far you have progressed. While you are working to overcome a weakness, work on things you are good at, too. This will keep your confidence up and help you get back to work overcoming the weaknesses. It also keeps you looking competent and skilled while you build your skillset even more. For example, if you are really good at writing speeches, you could help others write their speeches until you feel comfortable delivering your own. Your weaknesses are called weaknesses for a reason. It takes hard work and dedication to overcome them. Even if you fall short of a goal, acknowledge any progress that you did make. This will keep you in a positive frame of mind and help you pick up and continue overcoming the weakness.  Even if you haven’t mastered the art of speaking to large crowds, give yourself credit when you speak up in a meeting or give a presentation to your colleagues. Celebrate all of your successes. You can do this by taking photographs to commemorate them, making social media posts, or going out to dinner with friends.

Once you’ve chosen your method for keeping your extracted teeth hydrated, find a well-made container. This container should be durable and able to prevent leaking — a sealable container is best. Pour your liquid into the container and place your extracted teeth inside as well. Seal the container properly.  A glass jar with an air-tight lid works well. Put the container in a sealed plastic bag to ensure it doesn't leak, if desired. To keep your extracted teeth properly hydrated, you can use distilled water or saline. If you choose to use water, it’s recommended that you change the water daily to prevent any bacteria from forming. This type of storage solution is best if you’re only storing your teeth for a few days. If you’d like to store them using this method for a longer period of time, you’ll need to keep changing the water or saline solution. Household bleach is a great disinfectant and should help keep any bacteria from forming on your extracted teeth. Create a mixture of household bleach and water by diluting bleach 1:10 with regular tap water.  You can keep the extracted teeth in the bleach for a couple of days to a week, but keeping them in the solution for too long may cause them to become brittle. You can dip the teeth in this solution to decontaminate them before drying them off, if desired. The most popular option when keeping extracted teeth is to store them in a container without liquid. After making sure the extracted teeth are clean and disinfected, place the teeth in a small container with an air-tight lid. You can buy a container made specifically for teeth, or you can just use one you have at home.

Once you’ve cleaned the inside of the tank, you need to allow it to dry completely. If you don’t, the water may mix with new gasoline and damage your engine or fuel system.  Turn the tank upside down if possible to allow it to drain better. Sit the tank out overnight. Make sure the tank is not in a moist or humid location. After draining a tank of gasoline, you need to dispose of it in a proper fashion. If you don’t dispose of it appropriately, it may contaminate the ground water in your community.  Store gasoline in approved containers. Contact your local waste disposal service to find out where you can dispose of your gasoline. You may be able to bring your old gasoline to a toxic waste disposal site near you. If you encounter any issues while cleaning the tank, or you have a problem you’re unsure about how to resolve, consult a professional mechanic. A professional has likely dealt with cleaning gas tanks before and will advise you appropriately. If you’re unsure as to whether you can lift and remove a tank from a vehicle safely, contact a mechanic. They’ll be able to do it safely. When working with gasoline or cleaning solvents, you should always use safety equip. Without safety equipment, you might wind causing yourself permanent injury. Use:  Safety goggles. Gloves. Other protective clothing. Also, remember to properly ventilate your garage and to work on your tank outside, if possible.

Once you’ve completed a broadband speed test, you’ll want to compare the results to promises made by your ISP/data provider. Since slow download speeds are most noticeable, start there.  Download speeds affect things like streaming media (such as Spotify or Youtube), downloading documents, and browsing the web. Cheaper broadband packages for basic Internet access usually include 1.5-3mbps. This should be good enough for basic web use, but you’ll want at least 5mbps to stream high-quality video. Most mid-grade home user packages are closer to 10-20 mbps, which is better equipped to handle HD streaming on more than one computer. Check with your ISP to find out what you have. The upload speed results reflect the speed of data you send out, such as when you attach files to an email, upload photos or videos to the web, use video conferencing, or share files using a service like BitTorrent.  Some apps and sites, like Fast.com, won’t report an upload speed. This is because most users tend to be more concerned with download speeds as they affect media streaming and web browsing. 1-4mbps should be fine for users who don’t share a lot of large files or use video conferencing. It’s not common for a home user to have a 10mbps or more upload rate. This number (shown in milliseconds) represents the response time to the test server. Higher ping times (such as 100ms or more) indicate network trouble between your modem and the server. ISPs don’t guarantee certain ping results, as such results can be affected by outside networks.

Once you’ve done your research, listen to your gut when making business decisions. Don’t worry about what is “trendy” or the latest “must-have.” Focus on the important things, such as good quality food or coffee, excellent service, and a solid location. Don’t let other people push you around with their own ideas. Remember that what works for one business may not work for another. Just make sure that you’re basing your decisions on research. You don’t have to spend a fortune to establish a small restaurant or coffee shop, especially if you shop smart. Repurpose whatever you can. Buy wholesale from restaurant supply shops. See if contractors and other service providers will work for barter.  If you need to establish branding for your business, consider contacting a local design school or university with an advertising department. Often, students will be glad to develop excellent low-cost work for you in exchange for getting to use it in their portfolios. Leasing big-ticket items such as refrigerators and espresso machines, at least at first, can help cut down on start-up costs. This means you will be able to keep lower prices, which will mean happy customers.  You may also be able to find equipment offered on sites like craigslist. Just make sure that it is in good working order. The dining area of your restaurant or coffee shop is the place where your customers will spend their time. It communicates your restaurant’s identity and is crucial to customers’ impressions of your business. Usually, between 45-65% of your floor space will be devoted to the dining area.  Visit other restaurants or coffee shops in your area. Observe how customers interact with the space. Does it seem comfortable? Efficient? Inviting? Make sure you have flexible seating. Booths for larger groups should be placed along the walls. Remember that 40-50% of customers arrive in pairs. 30% come alone or as a party of 3. Just 20% of guests come as groups of 4 or more. Use primarily tables for two that you can push together when necessary.  For...

Once you’ve finished your first draft, step away from the essay for a bit. It’s hard to look at your writing objectively when you’ve been staring at it for hours. If you can, sleep on it and come back to it the next day, so that you can look at it with a fresh perspective. As you read, look for any obvious issues with style, flow, and organization. If it helps, read the essay out loud to yourself. Make note of anything that jumps out at you as needing improvement. As you read, keep the following questions in mind:  Is your writing concise? Are there any words or sentences that you could cut out? Is your writing clear? Does everything make sense? Is the essay well-organized? Is there anything that would flow better if it was arranged in a different order? Do you need to make the transitions between sections flow more smoothly? As you read over your essay, consider whether the language you use is appropriate for academic writing. Avoid slang and colloquialisms, clichés, and language that is overly emotional or judgmental. Keep your language and tone formal and objective.  For example, “Roodles’ early work is pretty awful compared to her later stuff!” would not be appropriate in an academic paper. Instead, write something like, “Roodles’ poems published before 1910 show a less nuanced understanding of verse and meter than her later poems.” . Once you’ve read over everything and made note of any important changes that need to be made, go through and revise your essay. When you’re done, read it over a second time. Make sure to save a copy of your previous draft separately, in case you make any major revisions and then change your mind. . Proofreading is the nitty-gritty task of catching and correcting issues like formatting problems, typos, spelling errors, punctuation errors, and grammar mistakes. Read your essay slowly, line by line, and correct any problems that you see. Reading out loud can help you catch problems that your eye might miss when you’re reading silently. When it comes to revising your writing,...

Once you’ve hooked your readers, it’s time to show them exactly what your topic is and why it’s important. In a few sentences, tell them why you’re sharing this, why they should care, and why it matters as a whole. For example, in an essay against capital punishment, you could say something like, “Capital punishment directly affects a very small percentage of the population, but its ripple effects—the effects on the person’s family and friends, on the people who read about it and hear of it—are much larger. In an even greater sense, capital punishment is a statement about the society we live in.” You should assume, unless told otherwise, that your audience has very little knowledge of your topic. It’s your job to fill in the gaps with information that’s directly pertinent to your argument, which could be facts, historical background, or any other stage-setting information. This gives the reader a foothold in your paper and prepares them for the rest of the paper.  For example, in a persuasive essay on gun control, you could write, “Gun control laws have a long and fraught history in the United States, and understanding the nature of their back-and-forth growth and decline is crucial for understanding the current state of weapons law.” Depending on your paper, your background information could take up anywhere from 2-3 sentences to a whole paragraph. Your thesis statement will be the backbone of your essay, capturing your angle on your topic, what is at stake, and what you think should be done about it, based on your evidence. It’s typically 1-2 sentences long, but can be even longer for bigger essays. You should use the strongest, clearest, and most concise language you can to show your readers exactly what you think and why. For example, in an essay persuading people to oppose a new park project, you could write, “As much as a new park benefits a city’s residents, natural green space is vital to the environmental life of a community. Besides serving as an interesting insight into what the area was like...

Once you’ve identified the major skills which your students will need to succeed in life, determine some goals based on those skills. If you have a bunch of kindergarteners who will eventually need to read, for example, you want them to know their alphabet, the basic sounds of some special letters, and also be able to recognize simple sight words (eventually you can get around to advanced ideas such as: c in cat sounds like "k" -- "keh", and an example of k might be "keep". But c in ceiling sounds like "s" -- "sss", an exciting example of s might be "snake"/pronounce the "sssnake" and show them the "ssss" of a "hissing snake" -- but do not mention it so soon as to confuse the idea of phonics). Once you know what your general goals are for the class, think of specific goals which will serve to show you that those overall goals have been met. Have your kindergarteners from the previous step be able to read and write the alphabet forwards and backwards and read basic three letter words, for example. Now that you know what you want your students to be able to do, outline the smaller skills which be necessary to get them to those larger goals. These will be mini-goals and will serve as a road map. With the kindergarteners, an example of these mini-goals would be learning each individual letter, learning to identify compound sounds, and then learning how to string sounds together.

Once you’ve mastered the basics of adjusting the sliders or control points of your EQ, you can make fine adjustments to highlight particular instruments or vocals. With practice, you’ll know where in the frequency range to look for a particular instrument or vocal, but until then, rely on charts like the following:  Female vocals: 150 Hz-1.6 kHz Male vocals: 60 Hz-500 Hz Saxophone: 100 Hz-700 Hz Guitar: 70 Hz-1.1 kHz Cymbals: 200 Hz-10 kHz Kick drum: 60 Hz-4 kHz Piano: 25 Hz-4.5 kHz Once you know which frequency range to search in to find a particular instrument or vocals, boost the slider or control point that’s closest to the center of that range. If doing so brings the sound of that instrument/vocal to the forefront, try boosting the surrounding ranges a little to see if that helps or hinders the process.  You may have to do some searching by trial-and-error to find the instrument or vocal you’re looking to highlight, but keep at it—you will find it! As an example, you might boost the 100 Hz setting in search of an electric guitar, and find that it helps to boost the 1 kHz setting as well. Once you’ve found the sound you want to emphasize, don’t just maintain a significant boost on the range or ranges where you found the sound. Instead, bring those ranges back closer to neutral and cut the ranges that carry other sounds that you don’t want to highlight.  In other words: if you want to highlight the electric guitar, it’s better to “cut” the drums, saxophone, and vocals than it is to “boost” the electric guitar significantly. Large “boosts” tend to cause audio distortions, which isn’t a problem with “cuts.” Narrowing the Q-range decreases the frequency range that is being boosted or cut, while widening it increases the range. This kind of fine-tuning can help you pinpoint the exact instrument or vocals that you want to highlight. Q-range is easier to visualize with a digital EQ. In this format, a boosted setting looks like a triangle, with the apex representing the amount of the boost and the sloping sides...

Once you’ve mastered the basics, practice other snares, hi-hats, and basslines. Practice each new sound individually until you execute them perfectly. This way you’ll have a wider array of sounds with which to create more diverse patterns.  Expand your snare sounds with the tongue snare with lungs (“C”), the “pff” or lip snare (“P”), and the techno snare (“G.”) For hi-hats, try the open “tssss” snare (“S”) and successive hi-hats (‘tk”). For bass, learn the bumskid bass drum (“JB”), the strong bass drum (“B”), the sweeping bass drum (“X”), and the techno bass drum (“U”) Once you’re comfortable using the basic sounds in more complex patterns, incorporate the new sounds you’ve learned. Attempt more advanced patterns, like this:  S |----|K---|----|K---||----|K---|----|K---|
 H |-tk-|-tk-|tk-t|-tkt||-tk-|-tk-|tkSS|--tk|
 B |B--b|---B|--B-|----||B--b|---B|--B-|----| Beatboxing is featured in a variety of music: hip-hop, R&B, house, techno, and more. The way it’s used in each style varies as well. Listen to a wide sampling from each and study both the obvious and subtle differences between them. Perform those beats yourself to better understand how each genre varies from one to the next. With a wider variety of sounds and a better understanding of genre, decide on a style of music and compose your own pattern. Take baby-steps: beat by beat, bar by bar. Pay attention to your own sense of rhythm and build on that. Keep your pattern clean and uncluttered so you can execute it perfectly; it’s better to adhere to the basics than to attempt more than you can physically perform at the moment.

Once you’ve picked through the beans and rinsed them off, move them to a deep lidded pot. Make sure there’s enough space for the quantity of beans you’re preparing and the water to soak them in, along with a little extra room for the water to rise as it heats up. As with the quick soak method, you’ll be doing both your soaking and cooking in the same piece of cookware. Use about 10 cups for every 2 cups of beans. For a hot soak, you’ll need to add slightly more water than you would for a quick or traditional soak. This will prevent too much moisture from escaping while the beans are being heated. Avoid overfilling the pot, or it may bubble over once it begins boiling. Leave the beans uncovered and be sure to stir them periodically to keep them from sticking. You should notice a thick foam forming over the boiling beans—this is evidence that the tough starches are cooking out. If the water level in the beans looks low by the time they finish boiling, you can add more half a cup at a time. Set aside some room on the cooktop or kitchen counter to leave the pot. With a hot soak, you stand to make up for the additional time the beans spend soaking with a much faster cook time.  Hot soaking is the most effective method of preparation for people who want consistently tender beans. A longer soak in hot water can cut down on the bloat-causing byproducts in the beans by up to 80%. Dump out the dirty soaking water and replace it with an equal amount of clean water. Add salt, black pepper, oregano, diced onion or any other seasonings of choice and simmer the beans until they reach the desired texture.  Hot soak beans that are destined for soups and salads to ensure that they turn out nice and soft. A perfectly cooked bean should be firm on the outside and fluffy in the middle, with the skin intact.
