Place the lid piece wrong-side up on your working surface and set the flue wrong-side out on top. Pin in place. Pin the pieces together as close to the edge as possible to prevent them from wiggling apart. Sew the flue to the lid using a sewing machine or needle. Leave a seam allowance of 1/8 inch (3.175 mm). Turn the flue and top right-side out once the two pieces have been attached. Pull the bottom edge of the flue slightly through the hole you cut in the brim, leaving 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3.175 to 6.35 mm) of fabric beneath the brim. Pin in place. Pin the overhanging portion of the flue fabric to the underside of the brim, placing the pins as close to the edge as possible. Sew the overhanging portion of flue fabric to the underside of the brim using a sewing machine or needle. The seam allowance should only be about 1/8 inch (3.175 mm).

Place the long edge of the deck of cards along the base of your last three fingers.  Your index finger should support the top edge of the deck.  Wrap your pinky around to support the bottom edge.  Your thumb should be resting on face of the cards, with the cards held vertically, and the back of the cards resting on your fingers.  Grab the deck with your shuffling hand by placing your thumb in the center of the bottom edge of the cards and your forefinger on the center of the top edge. Pull a majority of the cards from the center of the deck into the shuffling hand while gently sliding some of the cards off the top with your supporting thumb to keep them in the palm.  Press those cards with your thumb toward the fingers of the supporting hand and drop the the cards from your shuffling hand back onto the top of the deck in the supporting hand. Repeat this shuffle.  Peel off more cards from the deck in your shuffling hand with the thumb of the supporting hand, until most of the cards are back in the supporting hand.  When there are not enough cards left to shuffle in the shuffling hand, drop the rest of the cards on top of the stack in the supporting hand. Tilt your supporting hand slightly past vertical so that you can see the face of the cards.  Search for the cards you want in your hand. When you identify a card you would like in your hand, drag the rest of the cards off of it, so that the card you want is at the bottom of the deck.  Pull your thumb across the card you want in your hand.  Pinch it between your thumb and forefinger to drag it to the top of the deck.  Continue to shuffle the rest of the cards after floating your card to the top to hide the move. Keep the card on top by performing a slip to hold it in place.  Firmly place your last three fingers on the top card as you shuffle the others through the deck. Use a second card deal to deal yourself the top cards and deal the second card to everyone else.  For instance, if you are playing Poker, you will want to have 5 cards on top which set up a good...

Place the meat, the spices, the onion and garlic, the tomato paste, the egg and the breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl. Mix all of the ingredients together using clean hands. Knead the mixture for several minutes until everything is thoroughly combined. Scoop some of the mixture into your hand and use both hands to roll it into a ball. Place the meatball on a nonstick or greased baking sheet. Continue making balls of the same size until you've finished forming the rest of the mixture into meatballs.  To make it easier to create balls of the same size, use a small ice cream scoop or a measuring cup. Use a pan with high sides to prevent the meatballs from rolling off. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove them from the oven and serve with  marinara sauce.

Place the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, and salt in a blender or food processor. Pulse to combine.  Continue until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. You should still see pieces of minced garlic in the mixture; you do not need to blend them down into a smooth paste. Note that you should use fresh minced garlic, not dried. If you choose to use whole cloves, smash and mince four cloves before adding them to the blender. Add the mayonnaise to the blender. Process for several seconds, or until a thick paste forms. The mayonnaise acts as a replacement for the egg yolk found in more conventional Caesar dressing recipes. Mayonnaise contains egg, so it can add the same sort of thickness and richness to the dressing while minimizing the risk of food poisoning. Continue blending the dressing on low speed. Pour a thin, steady stream of olive oil into the dressing through the top opening, and blend until combined. Once everything combines into a thick, even dressing, scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula. Stir the dressing to mix in these scrapings. Pause the blender. Add the anchovy paste, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Pulse for several more seconds, or until combined.  Alternatively, you could stir these ingredients into the dressing instead of pulsing them in with the blender. If desired, you may omit the anchovy paste. The Worcestershire sauce in this recipe will still give the dressing its characteristic deep, salty flavor, but adding the anchovy paste will further emphasize that particular flavor profile. Taste the dressing at this stage and adjust the seasonings as desired. Toss the finished dressing into a prepared Caesar salad. You can serve it at room temperature or slightly chilled. Ideally, you should use the dressing within one or two days. Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container, then whisk well before serving.

Place the nuts in a skillet over medium heat. Cook them until they begin to brown and give off an aroma. Stir them constantly while cooking to prevent them from burning. Remove the hazelnuts and place them on a kitchen towel. Set them aside until they're completely cool. They should be around room temperature and cool to the touch.  Fold your towel over the nuts once they cool. Give the towel a good shake. This will remove most of the husks from the nuts. Place the condensed milk, sugar, hazel nuts, and vanilla extract into a blend. Blend for about 15 seconds. You want the nuts broken into small chunks but not completely dissolved in the liquids. Heat the blend in a saucepan over low heat. Keep heating until the creamer is warm. It should not be boiling hot, but warm tot he touch. Steeping means soaking dry ingredients in liquid so the liquid can absorb the flavor. You should steep your hazelnuts for about 30 minutes. Strain the liquid into the container. You now have hazelnut creamer.

Place the origin hole of the compass on the angle’s vertex, lining up the base line with one of the angle’s rays. Look at the degree mark where the other ray falls. This will tell you the degree measurement of the angle.  For example, you might measure an angle that is 160 degrees wide. Remember that protractors have two sets of numbers. To know which set of numbers to look at, think about the size of the angle. Obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees, and acute angles are less than 90 degrees. An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts. So, to find where the angle bisector lays, divide the number of degrees in the angle by 2. For example, if the angle is 160 degrees, you would calculate 1602=80{\displaystyle {\frac {160}{2}}=80}. So, the angle bisector is at the 80-degree mark of the angle. Again, line up the origin hole with the angle’s vertex, and line up the base line with one of the rays. Find the halfway point using the protractor. Mark this point in the angle’s interior. For example, if the bisector of a 160-degree angle lies at the 80-degree point, you would find the 80-degree mark on the protractor and draw a point at this location in the angle’s interior. Use the straightedge of the protractor to connect the vertex to the halfway point of the angle. The line you draw is the angle’s bisector.

Place the pants in a plastic bucket or basin filled with a gallon of warm water and a 1/4 cup of bleach. Stir to soak the pants, then leave to sit for 5 minutes. For best results, you should use a warm/hot setting on your washing machine. However, be sure to check the care label on your pants first; if it specifically states that they should be washed in cold water, then use cold water. Remove the pants from the bleach solution and add them to your washing machine. If you have any white towels you wish to freshen up with a little bleach, you can add them to the washing machine too. Add the regular amount of your usual laundry detergent to the washer, then add about 3/4 cup of bleach. Let the washing machine complete a regular cycle, then dry the pants thoroughly in the dryer, or drip dry outdoors.

Place the pot on the stovetop, and turn the stove on medium-high. Watch the pot for when the liquid reaches a boil.  Using 1 cup (235 ml) of liquid and 0.5 cup (45 g) of oats will make a serving of oats for 1 person. If you're cooking oats for multiple people, scale up the amount of liquid and oats as necessary. You can use any milk fat percentage you prefer. Using higher fat milk will yield a creamier oatmeal, while using water will create a plainer oatmeal. Omit the salt if you are following a low-sodium diet. It won't affect the cooking process. Reduce the heat of the stovetop to medium. Stir the oat mixture continuously with a spoon to prevent lumps. Scrape the bottom of the pot as you stir to keep the oats from sticking. Stir your oats while cooking. When 5 minutes are up, spoon a taste of oatmeal into a bowl. Blow to cool it for about 30 seconds, and sample the oatmeal. If it meets your desired level of doneness, it is ready. If the oatmeal still tastes too firm to you, continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Sample the oatmeal again. Continue this process of cooking and sampling until the oatmeal is to your taste. Use a ladle or another serving spoon to serve yourself a bowl of oatmeal.  Let the oatmeal cool in the bowl for about a minute. Stir it gently to release steam and cool it down more quickly. Eating the oatmeal right away may cause you to burn your mouth. Try to restrain yourself! Try mixing berries, nuts, spices, or honey into your oatmeal to create enticing flavor combinations. On its own, oatmeal is very plain. By adding different toppings, you can vary your oatmeal experience from day to day.  Add a medley of red berries with strawberries, raspberries, and dried cranberries. Coconut flakes and chia seeds can add a nice crunch to your oatmeal.

Place the rosemary bunch in a colander and pour running water over it. You can also rub the sprigs with your hands under the water to help loosen any dirt or other leftover debris from the garden. Transfer the washed rosemary to a tea towel and pat it dry. Use a pair of sharp scissors or a knife to cut single sprigs of rosemary from the bunch. Remove the sprigs at the bottom where they grow out from the larger bunch. You can also trim off and discard any large pieces of stem that have no needles. Rosemary stems are flavorful, but they're woody, tough, and not pleasant to eat. Full sprigs of rosemary are great for finishing, garnishing, and adding flavor to certain dishes. You can either add the sprigs after cooking to finish a dish, or you can cook roasts, soups, and other meals with full sprigs of rosemary. Like bay leaves, rosemary sprigs that are cooked with foods are typically removed before serving. Pinch the tip of the rosemary sprig and use your other hand to wrap your fingers around the stem just below the tip. Apply gentle pressure and slide your fingers down the stem to strip off the needles. Transfer the needles to a cutting board and discard the stems.  Instead of discarding the stems, you can also hang it up to dry and store it to use as a skewer for vegetables and meat that you want to barbecue. When you want to include rosemary right in your recipes, it’s best to use the individual needles rather than the full sprig. With a sharp knife, chop the rosemary needles until they're very fine. Rosemary needles can be quite tough, even when cooked, and this will help to make them easier to eat.

Place the skillet on the cooktop over medium heat and drizzle in just enough oil to cover the bottom. You’ll know it’s reached the right temperature when it begins to shimmer and smoke faintly. Oils with high smoke points, such as olive, canola, or vegetable oil, tend to be best for pan frying. The fish will begin sizzling as soon as it comes into contact with the hot oil, so be sure to release it as close to the pan as possible to safeguard yourself from pops and splatters. Situate the fillets roughly half an inch (2.7 cm) apart to prevent crowding or sticking.  You may only be able to fit 1-2 fillets in the skillet at a time, depending on the size of the fish and your cookware. A pair of tongs can come in handy if you’re worried about being burned. This should be just enough time to get the exterior nice and crispy. Allow the fish to cook until the meat just above the skin begins to turn white. Hake is typically eaten with the skin on, similar to heartier fish like salmon or bass. Slide your spatula under the fillets and give them a flip. Press the spatula firmly against the top of each fillet for a moment until you feel it relax. This will help the underside sear evenly and loosen up the meat for a more tender bite.  Make sure you separate the skin from the pan prior to turning. Otherwise, it can easily stick and lead to breaking and tearing. Always use a spatula to flip fish rather than tongs. Not only is it easier, it also makes you less likely to mangle your main course in the process, improving its presentation. The hake should only require another minute or so to finish cooking after being turned. Use the edge of your spatula to cut partway into a piece to see how it’s coming along. The interior should be white and flaky, with a light browning on both sides.  The fillets will be very hot when they first come out of the pan. It’s a good idea to give them a minute or two to cool down before you begin eating. Whip up some crowd-pleasers like garlic mashed potatoes or sautéed spinach to round out the...

Place the skillet on the stove burner and heat it over medium-high heat. You need to use a dry heat, since the fat and oils in the walnuts will be enough to toast them. As such, you should not use non-stick cooking spray, oil, or butter in the pan. The shelled walnuts will toast best if divided into halves or quarters, but since it is easier to monitor the toasting process on the stovetop, you can also use smaller pieces if desired. Try to keep the walnuts on a single layer to promote even toasting. Stirring the walnuts allows each one to be exposed to the heat for an equal amount of time and, as a result, you will get more evenly toasted walnuts and find fewer burnt nuts. Stirring constantly is best, but you can allow the nuts to rest for brief periods as long as you still have an eye on them. The process should only take about 5 minutes, but may go even faster if you have small pieces. Once done, the walnuts will be a deeper shade of brown and will smell toasted. Immediately transfer the nuts out of the pan once done. Otherwise, they will continue to cook on the hot metal. Transfer them to a heat-resistant bowl or dish and let them cool until they reach your desired serving temperature.

Place the sticks of butter together with the sugar in a medium saucepan. Turn the burner on medium or medium low to melt the butter. The butter and sugar will cook together to create a glaze perfect for classic candied yams. Cutting the butter into smaller cubes will help it melt faster. Once the butter melts, the glaze will begin to bubble up and change texture. Stir constantly until the sugar completely dissolves, but the glaze is still quite runny. Remove the glaze from heat when it is smooth and pourable.  If you overcook the glaze, it will caramelize and become hard. Remove it from heat before it begins to thicken. You can keep the glaze from caramelizing by keeping the heat low and stirring constantly. Be sure that the yams are coated evenly. Use a spoon to gently mix the yams and the glaze so that all the yam pieces get thoroughly coated.  Sweeten your yams to taste. You will have enough glaze to make very sweet, sticky candied yams. If you'd prefer, use only half of the glaze to keep the dish from being too sweet. Don't overmix the yams and the glaze. The soft-cooked yams will fall apart if you stir too much. Pre-heat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Once the oven reaches the right temperature, put the yams into a casserole dish, and bake them for 20 minutes. The glaze will caramelize on top of the yams, and give them a slightly crispy texture. Pour the candied yams into a large bowl or onto a platter. Serve immediately, while the yams are still hot and steaming. If you'd like, serve the yams with a dish of extra glaze on the side.

Place the tips of your first two fingers on your wrist, just below your thumb (palm up).  If you are feeling your pulse using your right hand, place your fingers below your thumb (palm up), on the side of your wrist near your thumb. Press softly and you should begin to feel a pulsing sensation. One pulse is equivalent to a heartbeat. Take a clock and count the number of times your heart beats in 20 seconds. Multiply that number by 3 – and that will be your heart rate. Another way to manually check your heart rate is to place your first two fingers on the side of your lower heck, on either side of your trachea.  You should begin to feel a pulse. It is often easier to feel your pulse in your neck, rather than in your wrist. Again, count the number of beats in 20 seconds, multiply that number by 3 – and that will be your heart rate. This is because you have a small artery that runs in your thumb. That may cause you to double count your pulse. Having a normal heart rate indicates good cardiovascular health, but some variation is perfectly natural.  Normal:  Pulse rate of 60-100 beats per minute while resting. Bradycardia:  A pulse rate below 60 beats per minute while resting. Causes of bradycardia include: certain medications that slow down the heart rate (e.g. beta-blockers, sedatives), heart failure. Athletes often have a heart rate below 60 at rest because their heart is in good shape, so each beat pumps more blood through their body (as opposed to having to beat more often and pump less blood with each beat). Tachycardia:  A pulse rate higher than 100 while resting.  Causes of tachycardia include anxiety, illness (running a fever may elevate your heart rate), some medications that can elevate your heart rate (such as thyroid hormone supplements), caffeine intake, and being out of shape and overweight. Your maximum heart rate is the highest number of beats per minute that your heart can beat. The following formula will allow you to calculate your heart rate: 220 – (your age in years) = Maximum Heart rate. Your...

Place the tissue or handkerchief over your nose and hold it there. Tissues prevent the spread of germs because you throw them away after use while handkerchiefs are more likely to spread germs, but are more environmentally friendly than tissues.  If you have the cold, flu, or another virus, it may be beneficial to use tissues to prevent the spread of germs. If you have allergies, a handkerchief may be the better option. If you don’t have tissues or a handkerchief, you can use toilet paper as an alternative. Avoid blowing your nose with coarser materials like paper towels or napkins. If you have sensitive skin, consider purchasing tissues that have lotion in them. You shouldn’t be able to breathe out of that nostril. Keep the tissue or handkerchief over your nose so that you don’t get mucus on your hands.  It's generally polite to excuse yourself from the table when you blow your nose. If you're in a public situation, consider going to the bathroom or closing your office door before blowing your nose. Blow with as little force as you possibly can. Blowing too hard could cause mucus to go up into your sinuses which could cause an infection and worsen your symptoms. If you blow and nothing comes out, do not blow again.  Remember to wipe up excess mucus on the outside of your nose when you've finished blowing. Blowing your nose too hard could also make the blood vessels in your nose more inflamed. If nothing comes out, it means that your mucus is too thick or your nose is clogged higher up. Press down on your other nostril and gently blow the mucus out the nostril you held closed before. If done properly, you’ll have properly blown your nose without infecting your sinuses.  Blowing one nostril at a time will help expel mucus easier. Throw away the tissue after you blow your nose so that you don't spread germs. Squeeze at the center of your nose and push down towards your nostrils to push the mucus out.

Place the two brim pieces on top of each other, right sides facing in and wrong sides facing out. Pin in place. When you insert the straight pins, slide them into both layers around the shared edge. You need to use enough pins to prevent the two layers from moving around along the edge, since the edge is where you must sew the brim together to start with. Use a fabric pencil or a piece of chalk to sketch out a smaller circle in the center of the larger brim circle. This circle should be about as big around as the size of your head.  This circle will eventually become the opening for your head, which is why it needs to be the same approximate size. Use a tape measure to measure the circumference of your head to verify that the circle in the center of your brim piece matches. Usually, the inner circle will be about 6 inches (15.24 cm) in diameter. Use a sewing machine or a needle and thread to sew around the outside edge of the pieces, leaving a seam allowance of about 1/8 inch (3.176 mm).  Do not sew along the edge of the inner circle yet. When done, you should have a solid, round disk with a circle marked in the center. Remove the pins as you sew or after you finish. Use sewing scissors or shears to cut alone the outline you marked at the center of the brim. Cut from the inside of the circle, not along the outside. If you have difficulty keeping the pieces from shifting or moving around at the center, you could remedy the situation by pinning around the outside of the drawn circle before cutting that circle out. Doing so should limit the amount of movement. Pull the brim right-side out by turning it through the opening you created by cutting out the center of the brim. Iron flat, if possible, so that the material is easier to work with. Stitch up the open center of the brim using a sewing machine or needle and thread. Leave a seam allowance of 1/4 inch (6.35 mm). As before, if you find that the fabric around the center opening continues to move around, pin around the opening to restrict this movement.

Place these items in a separate room or hallway. Moving these items allows you to buff the area under and around them. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to get an even shine. Keep in mind that a buffer is a bulky machine that can easily damage items that it bumps into, and it'll be harder for you to buff the area around the items in the room if you don’t remove them. This will also help protect your freshly buffed floor from getting dirty while you’re still working. Tell other people living in your home or those who are in your place of business that the floor will be wet for the next several hours.  If you moved large items from the room, you can always use these as a blockade to help keep people out. Simply position them along the entrance to the room. If you’re cleaning a commercial floor, put up “Caution” or “Wet Floor” signs for added safety. Pets can get in the way of the buffer and may dirty your floor. You don’t want to accidentally buff pet fur into your floor, as you won’t be able to remove it once it’s buffed into the finish. Put your pets in a separate room and shut the door.  Alternatively, you can place your pets in their kennel if they already use one. Your pets will likely be afraid of the buffer, so keeping them out of the way will save them a lot of stress!

Place your finger on the first letter of the word you want to spell. Don’t hold your finger down too long, or the keyboard may switch to special character input. Slide your finger across the keyboard to each of the letters in the word, lifting your finger only after you have spelled out the word.  A blue trail will appear marking the path of your finger. If you are having trouble, use angles and straight lines on the path between letters. Spaces are automatically between words. If Glide Typing entered a word other than the one you intended to write, check the suggestions above the keyboard for the correct word.  If none of the suggestions are correct, you can delete a full word entry with just one tap of the backspace key. Single-tap delete will only work for the last word composed. Any words written before that will need to be deleted manually. Glide typing is less likely to accurately guess unfamiliar words, like names or places. But if you enable Contacts Search in the search options, then your contacts’ names will be included in the dictionary of possible words. It may take some time to adjust, but try to stick with it. Once mastered, glide typing is a quick and convenient way to compose text.

Place your garment facedown, and bring the left half of the T-shirt to the center. Flip the short sleeve so that it faces the outer edge of the shirt. Repeat this with the right half of the garment before tucking the curved neckline into the shirt to create a rectangular shape. Fold the shirt once more to get it ready for storage.  Stick to simple folds. While complex folds might be able to save you a little more space, they are more time-consuming to do and can make it hard to distinguish your shirts from one another.  Once you’ve folded your shirt, you can keep it upright in your dresser or wardrobe drawer. This type of folding also comes handy when you want to fold T-shirts for travel since it can help you maximize space in your suitcase. If the T-shirt is on the larger side, consider folding it in thirds instead of halves. Place the shirt facedown on a flat surface and check that the shirt is completely buttoned before continuing. Tuck the sleeves into the center of the back, and fold the shirt in half so that the shoulders are touching. Complete the fold by bringing the bottom hem of the shirt to meet the collar. This method also works for dress shirts, or any shirt with buttons. Set the tank top facedown on a flat surface before folding it in half lengthwise, making the garment look like a narrow rectangle. Next, fold the tank top in half again so that it forms a square. Store the tank top in a dresser, or in any place where it will fit. If your tank top has thinner straps, tuck them beneath the shirt. Set your dress on a flat, smooth surface and brush out any obvious wrinkles from the garment. Fold the dress in half lengthwise and tuck a third of the skirt into the dress, making the garment look like a rectangle. Repeat this process on the opposite side of the skirt before folding it in half or in thirds.  Smaller dresses can be folded in half, while larger dresses should be folded in thirds. If your dress is especially fancy, consider hanging it up instead of folding it. Set your shirt facedown on a...

Place your golf tee in the ground with some depth. Put your golf ball on the tee.  Use about half of the tees length. Teeing too high or low will alter your drive. Stand so that your golf ball is only a few inches behind your left toe.  Placing the ball here will result in less swing range and more control.  Setting the ball back further in your stance will diminish power. Putting the ball further ahead in your stance will reduce accuracy. Stand just wider than shoulder width.  Taking a narrow stance will constrict your range of motion and grant more control. Don't take too short a stance as this will drastically alter your swing. Place your hands a bit lower down on the grip area of your club, away from the clubs end.  Gripping down further on the club will give you more control over its movement as you swing.  Low grips will trade power for accuracy. Keep your hands and wrists as straight as you can. Keep your weight distributed evenly, shifting only slightly to your right foot.  Keep your head and torso straight and centered with the ball. Bring the club back at a moderate speed. Send the club down, swinging towards your ball.  Strike the ball slightly under its center and with the mid point of your swing.  Make sure you strike the ball with the club face flat.  Swing strongly, but don't overdo it.

Place your ham cut-side up on your cutting board and examine the pink, cut surface. The ham should have three visible "seams" of connective tissue between the pink muscle. These are either white or reddish pink. Cut along one of these seams from the outer edge all the way to the center.  For best results, use a flexible meat carving knife with hollow ovals or scallops cut next to the blade edge. Some boneless hams contain significant amounts of ground meat reshaped into a ham, and may not have visible seams. In this case, carve through to the center from any point on the edge, then repeat with two more slices to divide it into three pieces. If a bone is present, cut in a close circle around it until you reach the second muscle seam. Cut outward along this seam to release the first stack of slices. The final seam will divide the remaining ham into two stacks of slices. Cut all the way around the bone in a tight circle to release them. Arrange slices on a serving platter or transfer directly to guests' plates. If the ham is large, cut the stack of slices in half before serving.

Place your hand over the base of the orchid so your hand covers the top of the pot. Hold the pot with your other hand, and gently turn the orchid upside down into the hand that’s cradling the plant.  If the orchid is clinging to the pot, massage it out by gently wiggling it back and forth. Only cut roots or stems if you cannot gently shake the orchid loose from the pot. If you have to make any cuts, preserve as much of the root or stem as possible. While still holding the plant carefully with one hand, gently pick away as much old medium as possible with your fingers. When you’ve removed the bulk of the medium, rinse the roots under warm water to remove the remainder. Removing all the old medium will ensure that your orchid gets the most nutrients possible when you transplant it, and will make sure any bugs are destroyed. Once your orchid is clean, inspect it carefully for dead leaves, stems, roots, and pseudobulbs. Use your sterilized cutting tool to trim away any roots that are soft and brown, any leaves that are yellowing, and any pseudobulbs that are black and shrivelled.  A pseudobulb is a feature on some orchid types. It’s a bulbous growth near the base of the plant that will have a leaf growing from it.  If you're transplanting multiple orchids at once, sterilize your cutting tool in between plants by wiping it with a disinfectant or heating it with a flame. Cinnamon is a powerful fungicide that can help protect the orchid from infection and rot. Use ground cinnamon and sprinkle the ends of any roots, stems, pseudobulbs, or leaves that you trimmed off. You can also use an orchid-specific fungicide.

Place your right foot forward if you wrestle with your right arm, and your left foot forward if you wrestle left handed. Standing with your dominant foot facing your opponent will help you leverage some of your body and torso weight into your arm. Whether you’re standing or sitting, make sure to keep your stomach as close as possible to the surface you’re wrestling on. This means that, if you have your right foot forward, your right hip will be up against the table.   The closer your body is to the table, the more effectively you’ll be able to pull down on your opponents arm. If you stand or sit a few inches away from the table, you won’t be able to use your shoulder muscles in the arm-wrestling match. Ideally, depending on the way your body is positioned, your elbow should only be 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) away from your chest. For maximum strength, wrestle with your arm centered in front of your body. For an easy reference point, position your arm so that your thumb is directly in front of your nose. If you can, slightly arch your wrist when you lock hands with your opponent. If your hand is slightly elevated over theirs, you can exert more leverage and pull harder on their arm once the wrestling match begins. If your hand is well positioned, your fingers will be directly over the nail of your thumb. If you’re wrestling in an official competition, the referee may insist that you keep your wrist straight and not curled.

Place your upside-down flower on a flat, secure surface. Cut a piece of string about 3 inches (7.6 cm) long and fold it in half. Place the loop on the center of the flower's back and hold it in place with your hand. Choose a durable string to help the flower withstand regular use as a decoration. Cut out a paper circle approximately the same size as the flower's back. Place hot glue along one side of the circle and place it over the back and the ends of the string.  Adjust the string loop to prevent the paper circle from covering it. Give the hot glue time to dry before securing the flower to the wall. It should set completely in 30-60 minutes. Pinch both sides of the loop out and hang it over a nail, thumb tack, or hook. If your string has a strong hold, your paper flower should hang securely on the wall.  To test the string's hold before securing it to the wall, try holding up the flower by its loop. Add more hot glue if it seems too loose or if the string falls off.  If you make multiple flowers, space them evenly along the wall or in a shape, like a circle or a heart. If you do not want to make a hole in your wall, attach sticky tack to the flower's string loop. Set the sticky tack and loop in place on the wall, pressing it with your fingers to keep it in place. You can also use painter's tape in lieu of sticky tack.

Place ½ of an avocado and a whole, peeled banana into a medium sized bowl. Use a fork to mash the two ingredients together. Continue to mash them with your fork until they are evenly mixed together. If your hair is very long, you may need to double all of the ingredients to end up with enough mask. Measure out the almond milk, pure maple syrup and olive oil and put each into the bowl with the mashed avocado and banana mixture. Stir all five ingredients together with a spoon until they are completely mixed together. Be sure to use pure, real maple syrup. Other syrups are filled with high-fructose corn syrup and will not have the same effect on your hair. Use your fingers to scoop up some of the mask mixture and start applying it to your hair. Work it through with your fingers. Continue until you’ve spread the mask all over your hair. Run a wide-toothed comb through your hair to ensure the mask is evenly distributed. You can apply the mask to damp or dry hair. Make sure you’ve fully covered your hair with the mask mixture. Use a few clips to twist your hair up and out of your face. As the mask dries, your hair will start to feel slightly crunchy. This is normal. Put a shower cap on over your hair if you’re worried about getting the mask on your clothing or furniture. Hop in the shower to rinse the mask from your hair. You will need to shampoo the mask out – plain water won’t get all of it out. Make sure you use a natural, nourishing shampoo. If you use a regular shampoo, which includes chemicals and sulfates, it will strip your hair of the nutrients provided by the mask.  After shampooing, condition your hair as you normally would. Use this mask on dry and damaged hair every two weeks for best results.

Place ⅓ cup (75 g) of unsalted butter into a saucepan. Turn the heat up to low, and wait for the butter to melt; you can stir it occasionally with a spoon or rubber spatula. This is known as "tempering" and is very important. If you pour all of the melted butter into the milk at once, the milk will heat up too fast and curdle.  Whole milk will give you the best results, but you can use 2% milk as well. Do this in a separate container; a large measuring cup would be ideal. You are using the entire 3⁄4 cup (180 mL) of cold milk for this step. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature first, then transfer it into a lidded container and put it into the fridge. You can use this as a substitute for most recipes that call for heavy cream.

Placing a floor mat outside the entrances will prevent dirt, snow, grit, and other debris from being tracked over your floors. It’s also a good idea to place mats in heavily trafficked areas of your home to prevent wear and tear. For example, you may want to place a mat in front your sink or stove. If heavy chairs or tables get moved around, your laminate floors can get scratched up. Put protective pads under heavy furniture and under furniture that is moved often—like dining room chairs. Excessive heat and sunlight can cause your floors to fade. Use window coverings, like blinds or curtains, to prevent direct sunlight from hitting your floors on a daily basis. Keeping your rugs and furniture in the same location for several years at a time can cause your laminate floors to age unevenly, resulting in patchy spots. Try to rearrange your rugs and furniture once a year to prevent discoloration.

Placing organic mulch around the base of your hydrangeas will protect the roots and the stems of the plant from harsh weather while keeping some moisture in the soil. The best mulch materials for this purpose include straw or fallen leaves. Purchase straw and collect leaves in the fall to use as mulch. Make sure that your mulch materials are free of insects since bugs such as aphids and beetles may harm your hydrangeas. Laying mulch while it is still relatively warm out is likely to attract rodents who are preparing their winter shelter, and may cause rotting and disease in your hydrangea plants. If you live in a very cold climate, wait until the ground freezes to lay down mulch. In warmer climates, wait until at least the late fall. In very cold climates, mulching may not be necessary as other more extensive sheltering from winter conditions may be required. Hydrangeas require a thick layer of mulch to protect them properly throughout the winter. Scatter your mulch materials to cover the ground around the base of your plants. Make sure that the mulch is at least 6 inches (15 cm) high.

Plain baking soda will absorb any lingering moisture as well as unpleasant odors from your mattress. Sprinkle your entire mattress with a light layer of baking soda. Ensure the whole mattress is evenly coated. If you’re in a hurry, wait at least 30 minutes before vacuuming up the baking soda. If you have more time, you can let the baking soda sit on the mattress for up to 24 hours. Use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum, if applicable, to vacuum up all the baking soda when you’re ready. If you have a double-sided mattress that you flip on occasion, be sure to repeat the process on the other side. Sprinkle baking soda over the mattress, let it sit for at least 30 minutes, then vacuum it up with an upholstery attachment. If you’ll be away from your home for a few days, use the opportunity to air out your mattress. Strip all the sheets and bedding and allow the mattress to air out while you’re gone. Allowing sunlight into the room can kill bacteria in the mattress, so leave the shades open if possible. Not only does a waterproof mattress protector keep spills from seeping through to your mattress, it also prevents the mattress from absorbing sweat, dirt, oil, and germs! Once your mattress is clean and dry, cover it with a nontoxic, hypoallergenic, waterproof mattress protector to ensure you don’t have to worry about a wet mattress again.

Plain, sans-serif, evenly-spaced fonts such as Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, Geneva, Verdana, Century-Gothic, and Trebuchet are all easier for a dyslexic person to read than other fonts. While some dyslexic people find larger fonts easier to read, most prefer 12 – 14 point font.  Avoid use of serif-fonts (such as Times New Roman), as serifs blur the shapes of letters. Don’t use italics to emphasize information, as this can result in all words appearing lighter and harder to read. Instead, make emphasis clear through bolding your font. If you’re a blogger, a teacher, or an employer, you can make a few simple changes to avoid causing visual distortion, such as word blurring or paling (i.e.”the wash-out effect.”) These changes are likely to benefit your standard readers as well as those with dyslexia. For example, long blocks of unbroken text aren’t easy for most people to read, but they’re virtually impossible for dyslexic readers. Use short paragraphs instead, limiting each paragraph to one idea.  You can also divide up long stretches of text with headlines, or section titles that summarize the topic of each section. Avoid a plain white background, as it can make font harder to focus on. Dark-colored text on light-colored background is easier to read. Avoid green, red or pink font as these are likely to be harder to read for most dyslexics. Make sure your paper is thick enough so that you cannot see the other printed side through the page. Use matte paper rather than glossy, which can reflect the light and contribute to visual stress.  Avoid digital print processing which can result in a shinier finish. Experiment with different colored paper to find the shade that the dyslexic person is most able to read successfully. Avoid lengthy detailed explanations. Use short sentences written in a direct style, and be concise. Try not to use acronyms or overly technical language.  Where possible, include visual diagrams, pictures and flowcharts. Use lists of bullet points, or numbered lists, rather than dense paragraphs.

Plainer boho dresses and fabrics can be brought to life with spangles and faux jewels. Large, chunky, earth toned jewelry can create a richer look for even the plainest seeming boho item. Some options include:  Metal bangles Wooden wrist cuffs Glass bead necklace Long dangling earrings Or, you might make use of modern accessories that are fashioned in vintage designs. Some examples of this might include turquoise bracelets, aged lockets, and ornate pendants. Combine these accessories in layers by using various lengths, like you might when wearing a long, medium length, and short length necklaces. The artistic and frequently hand-worked design of most artisan crafts can bring an air of Bohemia to even everyday outfits. Look for items that are nature themed, or crafted with natural products, like:  Worked leather Natural metals (like copper) Glass beads Stones (like quartz and onyx) While fur cuffed shoes might be a little outside your price range, boots adorned with faux fur can improve the natural appeal of your outfit. Leather and suede are in line with the naturalist philosophy of boho, so these are also options you should keep in mind. Other footwear to consider:  Ankle boots Flat sandals Gladiator sandals You might consider including an earth tone scarf in your bohemian braid. Another popular look uses a bandanna around the crown of your head to frame hair done in a simple updo. These looks will make you fit right in with the boho crowd.

Plan a picnic or another casual, daytime activity that would enable you to get to know her family. Let her know that you want to invite them because you know how important they are to her. For example, you could say, “I love how close you are with your mom. Does she want to come hiking with us on Sunday?” Grab dinner and a movie or play putt-putt golf with her friend and their significant other. If you don’t know them well enough to arrange it, show interest by suggesting it to her.  For example, you could say, “There’s a great new pizza place by my office. Do Suzy and John want to join us for a pie on Saturday night?” It’s best to invite a longstanding couple and your Cancer woman on a double-date. That way, she won’t feel guarded meeting a friend’s significant other for the first time. Tell her you know how much she loves her friends and family when she has to change plans to accommodate their needs. Show concern for the wellbeing of people who are important to her by asking about them after the fact. For example, if she bails on a date to take her brother to the doctor, you could say, “No problem at all. Pizza can happen anytime. Is he okay? What can I do for you both? Flip through family photo albums with her and ask about her heritage. This is a great time to ask her questions about beloved family members or simply let her tell stories from when she was a kid. You could say, “Is that a picture of you and your Grandma Betty? It sounds like she was an amazing woman. What’s your favorite memory together?” Show her you’re willing to bring her into your life by letting her spend time with your family and friends. Arrange a fun activity that will let her shine. For example, if your Cancer woman is a great artist, you could all do a sip-and-paint night at a local art studio with your sister.

Plan out everything you plan to tell your wife before you actually break the news to her. Have a script and memorize it to the best of your ability. You do not need to know every word, but you do need to remember every point.  Keep the focus on your reasons for leaving and on your experience. Avoid accusatory language that pushes the blame on your wife, even if you feel that your wife is largely to blame. Describe your expectations (separation, divorce), and make sure that you leave room in the conversation for your wife to reply to those expectations with her own thoughts. Check yourself as you prepare the script. Ask if anything you wrote has been written out of anger or a desire to hurt your wife. If so, remove or revise that portion. You will likely need support after you talk things through with your wife. Let your chosen confidant know when you plan on breaking the news and ask him or her to be available to talk afterward. Do not spring the news on your wife at random. You need to plan out the day, time, and location. Arrange things with your wife so that she knows to leave the time slot open, but do not tell her before the predetermined time.  Do not surprise your wife with the news before she leaves for work or when you're out at a party or restaurant. Set aside a time when you can talk without restrictions on time or speaking volume. If you are worried about your physical safety, choose a public place that still offers some degree of privacy, like a park. Stick with your plan and resist the temptation to blurt everything out ahead of time in a moment of anger or pain. Sit down with your wife and calmly go through the script you created earlier. Expect her to be emotional, but try to avoid getting into any screaming matches during the talk. Remain as calm, detached, and objective as possible.

Plan your mental health day during a slow time at work.  Make sure your day off doesn’t bring stress on others. Check the calendar and your schedule to ensure your day off works for everyone. Pick a Friday or a Monday if you don’t work during the week-end. Three days without working can do miracles. Instead of saying that you are stressed, just tell your boss that you have a few important personal appointments or matters to address and would like the day off from work.  Be calm and confident in your approach and reassure him/her that you will have your work covered and/or deadlines met in time. Don’t pretend to be sick. If your boss doesn’t believe you, you might be in trouble. Don’t tell co-workers or clients that you need a mental health day. Some people are unfortunately intolerant toward health issues. Find a co-worker to back you up if there is an emergency at work and you’re needed. Consult with human resources to figure out how to categorize your day off.  In some cases, the company may have actual mental health days built into your benefits - another reason why you should not feel guilty. You might want to make the day off about you and only you. It shouldn’t be about fetching the little one at school or buying nappies. Discuss the planning in advance and make sure that everybody will respect your peace and quiet.  Offer to do more for the household before or after your day off to compensate. The key is respect and understanding. Tell your family not to call you on your mental health day, except in case of emergency. If you want, it’s also perfectly fine to spend your day with your family. It’s all about what you want! You want to make sure that your day off work is as relaxing as possible. A bit of preparation will help considerably. Make sure that you have all you need in advance. You don’t want to get stuck in a line at the supermarket’s cashier on your day off.  Make a list the day before and go buy what you need. Buy the essential, such as food and drinks, but don’t forget things that might make...

Planning ahead will help give you a realistic idea of how much you can do in one day. Think of all of the things that you need to do, and write them down in a to-do list, or keep an ongoing list on your phone.  For some people, having a written list is more helpful because they can cross of each task as they finish it. If you won’t get distracted by your phone, you can use a reminder or to-do list app to make a virtual list. Then, you can remove each task as you finish it, and you don’t have to worry about losing your list. Give yourself enough time to finish the task, but don’t overestimate how long it will take. Try assign each task a 15, 30, or 60 minute block of time to accomplish that task. All of your estimates should correspond with the amount of work that goes into each task.  For example, vacuuming the house might take 15 minutes, depending on how many rooms you have to vacuum. Writing a business report might take longer, like 60 minutes, because it requires research and writing. Things like making phone calls or sending emails can become very time-consuming. When you’re making your daily schedule, devote a short period of time to accomplishing as many small tasks as possible in that window of time. This will prevent them from taking up the majority of your day.  For example, if you have a lot of phone calls and emails to send, devote 10 minutes to making as many phone calls as possible, focusing on the most important calls first. If you have a lot of emails to reply to, set aside 10 minutes to respond to the most pressing emails, and then leave the rest for a day when you have more free time. Set a timer on your phone or use a stopwatch to remind you how long you’re taking on a task. If you allotted 30 minutes for a task, set the timer for 30 minutes and check your progress when the timer goes off. If you’re close to finishing, use an extra 5 or 10 minutes to get the task done.  If you’re less than 3/4 of the way finished with the task, consult your schedule to see which tasks can be put off so that...

Plant Mimosa pudica seeds indoors in spring, at any time before the last frost. If you have growing lights and good temperature control, you may plant them indoors at any time of year. Take off the brown outer covering. Then you will have a greenish seed. Scratch the surface of the seed to scarify it. Tweezers have worked well for this part, though it may be hard. Mimosa pudica can grow in most well-drained soil. For best results, however, try a mix of loam and dry, aerating materials, such as two parts loam, two parts peat moss, and one part sand or perlite. If you don't want to make your own mix, most all-purpose commercial potting mixes have similar ratios, and should work well enough. The seeds are more likely to germinate if you weaken the tough outer seed coat first. Soak the seeds in bowl of water for up to 24 hours if you want to play it safe. (You may let the water cool as the seeds soak.) Place each seed just barely below the surface of the soil, about 3mm (⅛ in.) down. It's likely that most of your seeds won't germinate, so these extra seeds will minimize wasted effort. You can start the seeds in a seed tray or in 7 centimeter (2.8 in) (3 in.) pots. Water until the soil is slightly moist, but not soggy. Water again whenever the soil is about to dry out. If you're worried about getting the right amount of water, place the flowerpot in a shallow dish of water. Let sit ten minutes or until the top of the soil feels damp, then discard the excess water. If sensitive plants do not get enough sun, they may close their leaves. Put them in a location where they receive full sun for most of the day, or partial shade if you live in a very hot region. In ideal conditions with temperatures around 70ºF (21ºC), the seeds may germinate in under a week. In less ideal conditions, or if you didn't soak the seeds, this may take two to four weeks.  Some of your seeds may survive colder nighttime temperatures, but they may end up slow-growing or fragile. Never expose the seeds to frost. If the room is too cool or too...

Plant the tulip bulbs 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) deep, measuring from the base of the bulb. Remember -- the larger the bulb, the deeper the hole.  Standard tulip planting depth is 6 inches (15 cm); but if you live in an area with a mild winter, planting the bulbs to a depth of 8 inches (20 cm) helps to keep them cooler. Place the bulb into the hole, pointed end facing up. Fill the hole with soil and push down on the surface to firm it up. Space tulip bulbs 5 inches (12 cm) apart. To create a tulip bed, use use 5 bulbs for 1 square foot (90 square cm) of area. Plant all tulips in the bed to the same depth to ensure they all bloom together. If mice and other rodents are a problem in your area, place a deterrent such as holly leaves, kitty litter or gravel into the planting hole. If your rodent problem is very severe, you may need to place the bulbs in a wire cage for protection. Do not water again until the plant leaves start growing. Although tulip bulbs usually dislike excess moisture, this initial watering is necessary to trigger growth. In areas with mild winters, lay the mulch as soon as you are done planting. If you live in an area with cold winters, wait 3 to 4 weeks after planting before mulching to allow the roots to grow a little before the ground freezes.

Plant-based foods, including vegetables, grains, non-meat protein such as legumes and nuts, all contribute to a healthy meal plan.  Avoid short-term diets as a means to lose belly fat. Skipping meals or following fad diet plans won't be effective for long-term maintenance of a trim belly. Ultimately, you'll need to find a healthy diet that you can stick to. If you eat meat, stick to lean meat options such as skinless chicken or turkey. Most fish is a good source of lean protein, and also includes Omega-3 fatty acids which are good for your heart. If you eat beef or pork, make sure you stick to lean cuts of meat, and keep your portions small. Trim away all visible fat.  Beans lentils, barley, seeds and nuts and other legumes are a great source of lean protein. Adding beans and peas to your soups, salads, and casseroles adds protein without adding the saturated fats that contribute to belly fat. Non-meat sources of protein include prepared meat-substitutes such as tofu, seitan, tempeh, veggie burgers, or tofu-dogs. Saturated fats to avoid are found in meats and high-fat dairy products such as cheese, milk (and cream), and butter. Some plant-based oils, such as palm oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil, also contain high levels of saturated fats. Polyunsaturated fats are a better alternative. Polyunsaturated fats are found in many nuts, seeds, avocados, and some fish.  The over-consumption of saturated fats is directly linked to increase in belly fat, as well as difficulties with insulin regulation. Any type of overconsumption leads to weight gain. Aim for a moderate fat intake and try to replace animal fats with plant of fish oils whenever possible. A thick midsection is commonly referred to as a "beer belly" for good reason! Overconsumption of sugar in the form of alcohol is a primary culprit in developing belly fat. Sugars found in processed foods, sugary sodas, energy drinks, as well as alcoholic beverages, are a common source of belly fat. To lose your belly fat, stay away from these culprits.  Drink water...

Plantain leaves come from flat, long, narrow-leafed plants that grow nearly everywhere, including most people’s backyards. There are many different varieties, but they all have vertical veins in the leaves. Some people think they are weeds, but they have many medicinal properties. They can be used directly on wounds to protect the wound and promoting healing. The leaves also have antibiotic properties.  Most people don’t realize the plant in the backyard is plantain, mainly because there is another food called a plantain, which is a fruit like a banana. Plantain leaves are herbs and different from the cooking plantain, which is a fruit.  If you can’t find plantain leaves outside to pick, you can order dried plantain leaves and herbs from natural retailers. You can also buy pre-made ointments and salves made with plantain. Pick 10 fresh plantain leaves. Slowly boil the leaves in about an inch of water until the leaves are soft. Remove the plantain leaves and mash them using the back of a spoon. Allow the mash to cool.  After the mixture has cooled, add a few drops of an oil of your choice. Good choices include almond oil, castor oil, or mineral oil. You can use dried plantain herbs, mix it with an oil, and boil the leaves to make a paste. When you have finished making the paste, smooth it over the scabs. Then, cover the area with gauze or a bandaid. You can leave it on as long as you like. Put it on overnight and wash it off in the morning, or put it on and leave it until you shower. If your acne scabs are on your face, apply the paste to the affected areas two to four times a day. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse the paste off with warm water and pat your face dry.

Plants need sun in order to convert carbon dioxide and water into their food and energy. While potted plants are often easy to arrange on porches and balconies, they still need access to proper sunlight. Check your plant’s insert or information to see if it needs full sun or can thrive in the shade. Remember that shade-friendly plants still need indirect sunlight to stay alive. Your plant will need soil that is formulated for potted plants because they are growing in a different situation than plants that are in the ground. One of the ingredients that your soil will need is decaying organic matter, which is in most good potting soils. Organic matter will break down into the nutrients that your plant needs to absorb to be healthy. Potted plants require more added nutrients than plants that are in the ground, so regularly add fertilizer to your soil. Supplement your soil by adding organic matter either through a commercial fertilizer or your own composting. Some fertilizers are liquid and can be added directly to the watering can you use to water your plants, making it an easy part of your plant care routine. If your plant has wilted leaves or buds, remove them from the rest of the plant. This will encourage new growth instead of allowing your plant to shrivel up. If you start a plant indoors or have moved it inside over the winter, don’t move it permanently outdoors without a transition period. A plant that is accustomed to living indoors is not equipped to survive outside. The environment is different and can cause the plant to wither; additionally, the rain levels can cause overwatering. Choose a chemical-free pesticide treatment that’s formulated to protect your plants. Different plants attract different pests, so read the label to make sure that you pick the right product. Don’t try to kill all bugs, as some can be friendly to your garden.

Plaque deposits don’t cause symptoms until blood flow is slowed or blocked. Signs of a blocked artery include chest pain, shortness of breath, numbness or pain in the arms or legs, and nausea or vomiting. See your doctor if experience any of these symptoms, as they could be due to a variety of medical conditions. Adults over 40 should have their blood pressure screened annually, and adults between 18 and 39 should be tested every 3 to 5 years. All adults should over age 20 should be tested for high cholesterol every 5 years. If you have high cholesterol or a history of diabetes, kidney disease, or other medical issues, you’ll need more frequent cholesterol screening. Aspirin and other over the counter medications can reduce the risk of a blood clot. Ask your doctor if they recommend over the counter drugs and, if so, the dosage you should take. Generally, your recommendation will be a equivalent to a child's aspirin dosage of 82.5 mg per day. Don’t take aspirin daily without consulting your doctor. If you have high cholesterol, your doctor might prescribe a statin, which is a medication that lowers LDL levels. Take any medication as prescribed, and don’t stop taking medication unless your doctor recommends.  Ask your doctor, “Which statin is best for my particular situation? Would it interact negatively with any medications I currently take?” Even if you take a statin, you’ll still need to make lifestyle changes to manage high cholesterol, such as eating a healthy diet and exercising. High blood pressure increases the risk of arterial plaque loosening from the arterial walls, which can lead to a blocked artery. If necessary, your doctor will recommend medication to lower your blood pressure. Take any medication according to their instructions, and don’t stop taking it without their guidance. A medical procedure or surgery might be necessary if arterial plaque is slowing or blocking blood flow. Your doctor will help you decide which treatment option is best.

Plastic wrap, plastic bags, and some containers can melt and degrade inside the microwave. You need to transfer the rice out of any non-microwavable packaging and put it in a microwave-safe bowl.   If you packed your rice in individual portions using plastic wrap, unwrap your desired amount and place the frozen rice in a microwave-safe bowl that has a lid. If you froze your rice in a container that is not microwave safe, simply run the outside of the container under hot water for a few seconds. The hot water will help the frozen rice dislodge from the container. Then transfer the frozen rice into a container that is microwave safe. You want the lid to just rest on the top of the bowl, so it can help generate steam within the bowl and defrost the rice. If you snap the lid shut, it might pop off when microwaving or prevent your rice from defrosting properly. Breaking up the softening mound of rice with a spoon and fluffing it will help it defrost faster. Continue to microwave and fluff the rice at 1-minute intervals until the rice is completely defrosted. If you are defrosting a large amount of rice, you can increase the intervals to 2 minutes, but try not to go longer than that. You don’t want your rice to dry out while microwaving.

Play board games with them, take them to the library or get them together with friends to hang out. If they truly have become addicted, prepare for a very rough few days and weeks as the brain no longer gets its "fix" and has to rewire itself. While you can recommend other activities, your child may be resistant to this.  Allow your child to pick the game or see if they have any ideas about activities they’d like to do. Encourage your child to read books, make crafts, or do other hands-on activities like building a robot or playing with Legos. Remember that it is okay for them to be bored and that this is healthy and fosters creativity and self-soothing. Spend time each day as a family completely unplugged.  This includes phones, computers, and the television.  Have family dinner together regularly so that you can check-in on each other, connect, and laugh. Plan a vacation that will be completely technology-free. Find out from your child if they are interested in playing any sports.  If they are lonely and are using the computer as a substitute for friends, this will be a great way for them to connect with others.  Allow them to choose the sport, rather than forcing them to play a specific one. Alternatively, your child can learn to play a musical instrument or participate in another extracurricular activity. Find out from them what clubs or organizations are offered at their school.  This will provide them with another way of meeting others and developing new hobbies and interests.  You might say “So, you mentioned there was an art club on campus and I know you look up artwork online a lot.  Have you thought about joining that?  I wouldn’t mind picking you up later on the days that they meet.” Many communities also have tabletop gaming leagues with age-appropriate interactive games like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! that children as young as 5 can play.

Play stations with different sized perches, toys, slides, swings, and ladders are readily available from most pet stores, and help keep your bird active in a safe, area where you can watch them. Set up a play station in an area where your bird will not get droppings in their food or water, and where they have space to fly around to all the different parts and toys.  Depending upon the size and shape of your cage, you may be able to set up the play area on top so that bird droppings can safely fall down to the paper liner below. Remember to provide food and water for your bird while it is out of the cage, as well. Your parakeet should be let out for fly time for at least an hour or so every day. They will need your full attention during that time. Schedule time every day for you to watch your parakeet while it plays. Avoid distractions like cooking, household chores, or staying on your computer or phone. Many owners find it helpful to avoid cleaning the cage during fly time. While it is a time saver to do them both at once, cage cleaning often involves going in and out of different areas and requires attention you may want to give your bird. Some parakeets will return to their cage between flights, but others may need your help finding their way back. If possible, get your parakeet to your finger and help them find their cage. If your parakeet refuses to return, move slow and dim the lights. Parakeets don’t like flying in dim lighting, so you can gently catch them and help them return.  Do not chase after or aggressively catch your parakeet. This could spook them or cause them injury. Your best option is to try to get them on your finger, or to rest enough that you can gently grab them with two hands. Do not dim the lights so low that you cannot see your parakeet. Making the room too dark too quickly could cause the bird to run into walls or obstructions, which may cause them to hurt themselves.

Practice your song slowly until you can play it perfectly so that your mind has time to absorb everything and your fingers build the correct muscle memory.  Break the song down.  Try to learn only a few measures at a time.  When you have those down perfectly, move on to the next few measures. You can also go a measure at a time from the end of the piece. If you play the last measure perfectly, play the last 2 measures until you get them perfect, and so on. When you start to lose concentration, take a break.  You’ll be wasting your time trying to play the piano if your brain is too tired to focus. You’ll need someone to perform for.  The first few times you perform you’ll want a supportive audience as everything might not go as planned.  Your friends and family are unlikely to be too critical if you make a few mistakes the first few times you perform your song for them.  As you gain experience, you may want to visit open mics or find other places musicians can perform. Start with smaller venues and perform your song there before moving onto bigger venues and audiences. Share your hard work with the world.  If you start to feel a little bit of performance anxiety, take deep breaths until you feel yourself relaxing.  Better yet, you can channel all our nervous energy into your performance.  Try to feel all the emotions you felt writing your song when performing it for an audience. You don’t have to pander to everyone’s opinion but you should at least hear it.  You may get great advice about how to make your song more interesting or tips on how to put on a more exciting performance.  Take criticism with a grain of salt.

Playdough is fun to mold into any shape, but children especially enjoy rolling the dough out and cutting fun shapes out of it. Plastic cookie cutters can be found at any grocery store. If you want really unusual shapes visit your local baking supply warehouse.  Plastic utensils such as spoons and forks can be used to make interesting patterns in the dough. Cups and bowls can be pressed into a sheet of dough to make perfect circles. Kool-Aid powder is usually white until liquid is added. If you conceal the Kool-Aid package, you can have children guess what color the dough will be before you add the water. Give out prizes such as cookie cutters or stirring privileges to the winners. Never leave the stove unattended around children. If you need to move to a different room while cooking, turn off the stove and take the children with you. Kool-Aid playdough is a great party favor for children’s birthday parties. Mix up a few batches of colorful dough and split the dough into smaller amounts. Purchase small plastic ramekins with lids from a restaurant supply store. Next, fill the ramekins with the dough, close the lids tightly, and group the different colors together to create sets.  The presentation is important as well. Either wrap the sets in wrapping paper or tie a ribbon around them to keep them together.
