To help make sure you have time to do all of your work outside of school, make sure you have time set aside every day to do homework. It needs to be long enough so that you can get all of your work done, and maybe even have your parents check it for mistakes.  During your homework time, make sure you don’t have any distractions. Turn off the TV, video game, cell phone, anything that will take your attention away from your homework. This can also mean your parents, siblings, or pets, really anything that might distract you from working. If you aren’t paying attention, that makes it more likely you’ll do something wrong. One thing that will really help is to make sure this homework time happens at the same time every day. This will help you get into a rhythm of doing your work at the same time, so you’ll always know when you should be doing homework. Don’t forget to think about other activities when you plan your homework time. It’s okay to do other things like soccer practice, dance lessons, or even playdates. Just remember that you need to make sure you have time to do school work in addition to those things. Your teacher will probably give you homework, assignments you need to do after school. The goal of these assignments is to help you learn the material, so making sure it gets done before school will help you learn and get better grades.  You’ll probably get lots of different assignments covering different subjects. When you get home, it is a good idea to list all of your assignments, and think about how much time you need to spend on them and the order you should do them. Along with doing worksheets and reading books, this can mean other things, such as making time to practice an instrument if you are in the band. Just because you don’t have something to turn in doesn’t mean it isn’t important to get done. When your teacher tells you that you will have a test or quiz, make sure you prepare. Read your notes, any books you have been given. The goal of tests and quizzes is to see how well you understand the...

To help prevent blockage and reduce plaque buildup in your heart, you need to consume healthy, balanced meals. In general, a balanced diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or fat-free dairy. It also includes lean proteins, such as poultry, fish, and beans. You should also only eat foods low in saturated fat, trans fats, and cholesterol. Avoid butter, fried foods, and cheese.  Avoid dairy product with added sugar and higher calorie content. The USDA has many resources available to learn more about how to create a balance diet. CAD and the development of plaque is the result of elevated cholesterol and sugars, as well as chronically elevated blood pressure. To help reduce your cholesterol, reduce your number of carbohydrates, especially the high glycemic and high fructose foods. These are often referred to as simple or bad carbs because they are high in calories but low in the amount of energy they create during metabolism. They are processed and expended by your body very quickly and lead to fat deposition and spikes in bad sugars and fats.  Simple carbs include foods such as cookies, cakes, candy, processed cereals, white bread, white rice, chips, sodas, juices, and non-diet soft drinks.  When you consume an excess of fat, sugar, or carbohydrates, your body metabolizes these into a type of molecule called lipids, which include cholesterol and triglycerides. Having unhealthy levels of lipids causes too much fat circulating in the blood. This contributes to the development of fatty plaques in vessel walls. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is a medically designed and studied diet plan that focuses on reducing blood pressure. It was shown the significantly lower both levels of blood pressures. The diet is high in vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy products, whole grains, and lean proteins. It is also low in sodium, added-sugars, and fats. It emphasizes small portion size, cutting out animal proteins, and getting enough nutrients like as potassium, calcium, and...

To help protect your frame throughout the shipping process, you’ll cover it in a layer of artist or painters tape. That way, if it breaks during transit, the shattered shards will stick to the tape instead of falling onto the artwork. Do not use masking tape or similar high-tack adhesives since they are difficult to remove and can leave an annoying film on the frame. Artist tape is available at most craft, home supply, and discount stores. Lay down 2 strips of artist tape over the glass in an X formation, with each piece stretching diagonally from 1 corner to the other. Then, lay down 2 more strips in the form of a cross or plus sign, with the tape stretching from the midpoint of 1 side to the midpoint of the other. Lay down strips of vertical and horizontal artist tape over the entire sheet of glass. You can apply the strips in any order, but by the end they should cover every section of glass. For extra protection, lay the tape down in an overlapping grid pattern. Tape can be particularly difficult to remove from a border and, in many cases, will create unnecessary damage. If you have extra tape at the end of a strip, either cut the ends off with scissors or fold the ends back on themselves and secure them with more tape.

To improve your flexibility you need to stretch on a regular basis. Otherwise, your body will quickly return to its previous, inflexible state.  Stretch five days a week for approximately ten minutes. Don’t feel the need to “make-up” missed stretch time. Too much stretching can be counterproductive. If you miss a day, that’s okay—simply try to do better the following week. Deep, controlled breathing is essential for getting the most out of your stretches and avoiding pain. Breathing deeply brings more oxygen into your lungs which helps remove lactic acid from your muscles.  Before every stretch, take a slow, deep breath. As you move into the stretch, slowly release the breath. When you reach the limit of your stretch take another deep breath in. Slowly release the breath and move slightly further into the stretch. The increased oxygen in your blood should help you move further without additional pain. Contrary to popular wisdom, stretching is more effective and helpful if performed after a workout. This is because muscles stretch more when they’re warmed up and fatigued.  After you’ve completed your aerobic or anaerobic workout, move directly into your ten-minute stretching routine. If you don’t have time to workout before you stretch, take five minutes or so to either go for a walk or simply contract and release your muscles. Even this small amount of warm-up will improve your stretching routine.

To keep ginger fresh in the refrigerator for the longest time possible, use a paring knife or a spoon to peel it and then put it into a glass jar. Fill the jar to the top with vodka and screw the lid on tight. Keep the ginger in the refrigerator for as long as 2 months.  When you want to use your ginger, unscrew the jar lid, pull the ginger out, and pat it dry before you slice off a piece. Then, put the remaining ginger back into the jar and close the lid. If you’re old enough to drink alcohol, you can also use the vodka in the jar to make a cocktail after you’ve finished eating the ginger. If you don’t want to submerge your ginger in alcohol, store it without peeling it to keep it fresher for longer. Put it into a sealable plastic bag, press all of the air out, and then seal it tight. Then, put it in your refrigerator’s vegetable drawer. When stored in this way, your ginger will keep its flavor for up to 2 months. When you cut off a piece of your ginger, blot the exposed inside of the ginger with a paper towel before you put it back in the plastic bag and return it to the refrigerator. This is a good storage option to try if you plan on consuming all of your ginger within a week or 2. To ensure maximum freshness, wrap the ginger in a paper towel before you put it into the paper bag. Then, roll the bag up tight and put it in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator.

To keep it centered in the middle of the larger jar, you can put a dab of glue or tape on the bottom before you set it inside. Make sure you put the lid on securely since you don't want ants accidentally falling in. Use a funnel to neatly fill the extra space with dirt, or spoon it in. The dirt should not be tightly packed; make sure it's nice and loose, so the ants will be able to move around. Leave about an inch of empty space at the top of the jar.  You will now have created a layer of dirt that will serve as the ants' home. The inch of empty space will keep the ants from climbing up the glass and out of the jar when you need to open the lid. Carefully drop the ants in the jar, making sure they all make it into the fine dirt you provided. Cover the jar and use an awl or a sharp knife to puncture it with tiny holes, to allow oxygen to reach the ants.  Make sure not to punch the holes too large, or the ants will escape and build a nest elsewhere. Don't cover the jar with cloth, as ants will be able to chew their way out.

To keep the pool liner clean, use a pool cover when you are not using the pool often. You may do this during the winter time to protect the pool liner. Get a pool cover that fits the pool well and is tightly sealed at the edges. This will keep dirt and debris out of the pool, which can then create stains on the liner. If you are using a pool cover that floats over the pool, make sure you lift the edge of the cover every few weeks to confirm no leaves or debris has gotten into the pool. Most pools will self clean and maintain themselves well if there are proper chemical levels in the pool. To ensure the pool liner stays clean, check that the pool’s alkalinity, calcium hardness, pH, and chlorine levels are correct. You can use a testing kit to determine the chemical levels in the pool. Test the levels once a week to ensure they are correct.  In a standard size pool, the recommended chemical levels are a pH of 7.4-7.8, a total alkalinity level of 100-150 ppm (parts per million), and a calcium hardness of 200-250 ppm. The chlorine level in a non heated pool should be 1-3 ppm and the chlorine level in a heated pool should be 2-4 ppm. If you are covering your pool with a pool cover during the winter, reduce the amount of chemicals in the pool by 60%. Maintain the pool liner by cleaning your pool at least once a week. Use a skimmer to remove any leaves, dirt, and debris on the surface of the pool. Vacuum the pool to remove algae. Brush the pool liner with a pool brush to get rid of dirt before they become stains.  You may consider getting the pool professionally cleaned once a year, especially if you use it often.

To keep your bamboo steamer from drying out after washing, dab a piece of paper towel with cooking oil.  Run the oiled paper towel along the outer and inner surfaces of the bamboo steamer. Any cooking oil will do (for instance, vegetable oil or olive oil). Before using your bamboo steamer, soak it for about 20 minutes.  This will prevent the bamboo from burning during use. Soaking might not be appropriate for your bamboo steamer.  Consult manufacturer directions for information regarding whether soaking is warranted to prevent burning your steamer before use. Your bamboo steamer will require more cleaning if you place food directly on its lattice surface.  Instead, cut a piece of parchment paper to a size that your bamboo steamer can accommodate and place the food you want to steam on that.  Alternately, place a heatproof plate on the steamer lattice, then place the food you wish to steam on the plate. Ensure that any plate or parchment paper has a border of open space around its perimeter that will allow the steam to rise and envelop whatever you’re trying to steam.

To keep your cuticles healthy, you should moisturize them every day. You can use moisturizing lotion, petroleum jelly, or your favorite oil, depending on what you prefer. Apply the moisturizer, then rub it so that your cuticles can absorb the moisture. Dry cuticles are more susceptible to peeling or splitting. If this happens, it can be very painful and can lead to infection, and it can also cause your cuticles to grow back thicker than before. Over time, your cuticles won't need to be pushed back as much, but it's still a good idea to keep them touched up. Keep an orange stick near your hand cream and take a few minutes to moisturize and push back your cuticles about once a week after you take a shower. Biting your nails can irreparably damage your nail bed, and chewing on your cuticles, hangnails, or the skin around your nails can lead to dangerous infection. In addition, damaging your cuticles can cause them to grow back thicker, making them harder to push back. Instead of biting your nails, use a nail file to smooth them out if they chip or split. Wooden orange sticks are porous, meaning it's difficult to completely sanitize them. It's best to just toss out the stick after you're finished using it so you don't have to worry about spreading bacteria the next time you give yourself a manicure. Wooden orange sticks are meant to be disposable, which is why they're inexpensive and often come in packs of 10 or more.

To keep your goldfish plant well-watered but not soggy, water it any time you notice the soil becoming dry. The soil should feel moist, but not waterlogged. You will not need to water your goldfish plant as often during the winter as during the summer. However, water it often enough that the soil never completely dries out. During the spring through early fall, give your goldfish plant a phosphorous-rich fertilizer once a week to encourage blooming. Don’t fertilize the plant during the winter. Choose a water-soluble fertilizer and follow the instructions on the package. Goldfish plants thrive and produce better blooms if you repot them every few years. Remove your plant from its pot and replant it in a clean, slightly larger pot with fresh potting soil. When you repot the plant, trim the ends of the roots slightly to encourage new root growth. Regular pruning will encourage healthy branching and keep your plant looking its best. Pinch off the tips of the stems regularly and trim back any branches that are starting to look too long or “leggy.” In addition to trimming the branches, regularly deadheading wilted blossoms can encourage the plant to produce more blooms. Goldfish plants are susceptible to a variety of pests, such as aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. If you notice that pests are attacking your plant, spray it down with a gentle insecticide soap. You can purchase insecticidal soap sprays at most gardening centers or home supply stores.

To keep your off-the-shoulder tops in place, you’ll need 4 safety pins and 2 hair ties. The safety pins don’t need to be big ones — they just have to be able to attach to a hair tie. Look for soft hair ties if you have them since they’ll be under your arm. If you don’t have hair ties, you can use rubber bands, but rubber bands won’t be as comfortable. Open a safety pin and attach it to one end of your hair tie. Take the other safety pin and pin it onto the other end of the hair tie, making sure both safety pins are properly closed until you’re ready to attach them to your top. Once both safety pins are hooked to the hair tie, attach one safety pin to the inside of your shirt. Do this while you're not wearing the shirt to avoid poking yourself with the safety pin.You should choose a spot that won’t be easily seen, like inside a seam or near elastic. Attach the safety pin to the front of your top, near your armpit. Take the other safety pin that’s attached to the hair tie and pin it to the back of your shirt, behind your armpit. Make sure both safety pins are securely fastened to the fabric. The hair tie should be positioned from the front of your shirt to the back. Once you’ve fixed the first side of your top, repeat the same process on the other side. Use the last 2 safety pins to attach a hair tie under the other arm of your top. Don't put the top on until all of the safety pins and both hair ties are attached to the top. After both hair ties are securely fastened to your off-the-shoulder top, it’s time to put it on. Weave your arm over the hair tie so that the hair tie is sitting under your armpit. If you need to make adjustments, take the top off and move the safety pins until they’re in the right spot.

To keep your teeth tartar free, you should have your teeth cleaned in a dental office on a regular basis. Be sure to schedule your cleanings in advance so you actually get them done on a regular basis. While many dental professionals recommend 2 cleanings per year, the actual number you need may vary. Talk to your dentist about how often you should get cleanings based on any risk factors or dental issues you have. If you are having pain or irritation in your mouth, it could be the sign of a problem that needs treatment. Contact your dentist and schedule an appointment to have your teeth looked at and treated. First, the dental hygienist will look inside your mouth and assess your teeth. They will look over all your teeth and look for signs of plaque and tartar build up. The hygienist will also look for signs of other dental problems, such as gingivitis. When you have your teeth cleaned by a hygienist, they will likely begin by manually removing plaque and tartar. To do this, they will use a metal pick called a scaler. The hygienist will then continue the cleaning by brushing your teeth with a gritty toothpaste. This will remove any remaining plaque and tartar on your teeth. The gritty toothpaste that is used in dental offices gives your teeth a shiny polish, but it should only be used twice a year. Using this type of toothpaste more often can damage the enamel surface of your teeth. After your dental hygienist gives your teeth a general cleaning, you may need more advanced care. If plaque and tartar have built up significantly, your hygienist may clean it away with an ultrasonic cleaner. This uses vibrations and water to clean off large chunks of tartar.

To keep your whitewall tires clean and avoid having to give them a heavy duty cleaning, take the time to wash them at least every two weeks. Use water, whitewall tire cleaner and a rag or sponge. If you do this cleaning frequently enough (e.g. every week), a gentle soap should be effective enough to use. If there is persistent dirt or discoloration, which is less likely if tires are regularly cleaned, use a stronger whitewall tire cleaner and scrub pad. After cleaning whitewall tires, use a water-based dressing to give your tires shine and protect them from harmful UV rays. Purchase the dressing and a foam applicator for it in the automotive department of most department stores, or online. Apply the foam to the applicator and wipe it onto your tires evenly until the desired effect is reached. When storing your whitewall tires, give them ample space so that they don't have to lean against each other. This may cause the black rubber of the tires to rub against the white rubber, smudging them. If you do have to lean them against each other, separate the tires with plastic sheeting or store them in individual bags.

To lead a more fulfilling life, you first need to know what part of your current life is troubling or unsatisfactory. Reflect on different aspects of your life to figure out which are frustrating you the most.  Try closing your eyes and questioning "What part of my life dissatisfies me the most?" Whatever comes to mind first is probably where you'll want to start. For instance, your mind may have immediately focused on your job or relationship or friendships. If that's what popped up, it's probably what's troubling you most. Concentrate on the most immediate area where you'd like to change and create action-based goals for improving. Use SMART goals—that is, goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.  For instance, if your job is unsatisfactory, you might decide whether you want to quit, go back to school to change careers, or find creative ways to make your current job more fulfilling. If you choose to change careers, you might need to set several goals, like securing financial assistance and gaining admission in a desired program. Break each of your goals down so you can tackle them step-by-step. Also, set a reasonable deadline for completing the goal. As move along towards your goals, be sure to reflect on your progress. Checking out how far you've come boosts motivation to keep going. It also helps you determine whether you are now satisfied with one area and can move over to work on another area. You can track progress by putting the steps of your goals on a whiteboard or sheet of paper and checking off each step as you go.

To look sophisticated and put-together, dress in clothes that are clean, wrinkle-free, and flattering. If you’re not sure how to pick clothes that fit you properly, go to a tailor or a lingerie store for advice and a professional measurement.  You don’t need expensive designer clothes to look sophisticated. Wearing clothes that look tidy and fit you well is more important! Structured pieces, like a fitted blazer or an A-line skirt, can give you a classic, elegant look. Whether you’re attending a school dance, going on a job interview, or having dinner with family friends, choosing the right attire can make a big difference in the impression you make. Choose clothes that are modest and not too dressy or casual for the occasion.  For example, if you’re going to a formal wedding, a silk dress (knee-length or longer) or pantsuit would be a good choice. Just avoid wearing anything white or overly flashy so you don’t upstage the bride! For a job interview, a suit is a good bet, but you can also look sophisticated and put-together with a blouse, pencil skirt, and fitted jacket. Stick to a simple, minimalist style to help keep your wardrobe from becoming quickly outdated. Choose a few basic, high-quality clothing pieces in neutral colors. To liven up your look, pair your neutral wardrobe staples with some bold accessories.  For example, you might pair a classic little black dress with a colorful, chunky statement necklace. Simple pieces in solid colors are great for mixing and matching to create a variety of different outfits. Put a little effort into styling your hair each day. This will give you a tidy and well-groomed appearance. Your hair is likely to be one of the first things that other people notice about your appearance, so choose a style that reflects your cool, sophisticated side. For example:  Go for a short haircut if you want to look more confident and professional. A sleek updo is a great way to create an elegant look, especially for a special occasion.

To lose weight while getting in shape, you will need to create a calorie shortfall. This means that you will eat fewer calories than are needed to maintain your weight, causing your body to begin burning fat.Calculate how many calories you need to maintain your weight and then plan how many calories you can eat in a day (usually 2,000 calories a day). Sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats will contribute to keeping you from getting in shape. Avoid sugary drinks like soda, and anything which is high in saturated or trans fats (partially hardened or hardened fats, margarine). Instead, eat fruit as a dessert and foods with healthy fats like omega-3’s (found most easily in fish, olive oil and nuts). . You will need to eat a proper balance of protein, carbohydrates (found grains), fruits and vegetables, and dairy. Whole grains might comprise about 30% of the food you eat (if grains are not inflammatory for you), fruits and vegetables another 30% (weighted more towards vegetables), dairy 15%, very lean protein 15% or up to 40%, if you lower the calories from carbohydrates. Lower unhealthy fats, processed carbs and sugar to no more than 4% of you diet.  There are different types of fats. Some are good for you, while others are not. You should avoid trans fats (found in many commercially baked and snack foods) and limit saturated fats (ground meats, sausages, wieners, fried foods and butter). However, monounsaturated fats (olive oil, avocados) and polyunsaturated fats (fish, walnuts) are good for you. Good whole grains include whole wheat, whole oats, quinoa and brown rice. Good fruits and vegetables include chick peas/garbanzo beans (can be used to make hummus), beans, kale, broccoli, spinach, blueberries, strawberries, lemons and pears. . Your meals should have reasonable portions to keep you from taking in more calories than you need. Be careful not to overfill your plate - use a smaller plate if you’re unsure.

To make a French Pouf rose, you'll need a few feet of fabric, scissors, and a hot glue gun. Draw a basic flower shape on a piece of fabric the size that you want our flower to be. It can be as large or small as you'd like, but working with flowers smaller than about two inches across will be difficult. Around 4" will work well. Cut along the line. Then use the first flower shape to trace the same shape on four to nine other pieces of fabric.  Cut out all the flower shapes.  To draw a flower shape, start with a circle, then draw half circles around the circle. If you want, you can print out and use of the templates provided here http://www.oneprojectcloser.com/make-fabric-flowers-tutorial/. How many flower shapes of fabric you use depends on how thick the fabric you're using is. Make fewer when using thicker fabric. Cut out a small circle of fabric. If you cut your flower shapes around 4" wide, a 2" inch wide circle will do. Place a dot of hot glue in the center of the circle. Fold one of the flower shapes in half. Place the edge of the flower on the dot of hot glue so that when the flower is unfolded it is centered on the circle For each of the other flower shapes, place another dot of hot glue in the center of the flower, fold the flower shape in half, and place it on the hot glue. Rotate the base slightly in between gluing each flower shape so that the shapes aren't aligned. Stop before you use the last two of your flower shapes. For the final two flower shapes, fold them in half, then push the two outer edges inward so that they touch. Do this with both of the last flower shapes. Then glue them to the center of the flower. If your fabric rose is lying a little flat, you can use your fingers to ruffle and wrinkle the petals. That way it looks more flower-like.

To make a bamboo flute, you’ll need a drill, a rotary tool such as a Dremel, and attachments for it. You’ll also need a general purpose hand-held sander, masking tape, a saw, a ruler or measuring tape, and a box cutter or sharp knife. You should be able to find all of these items from the hardware store. Of course, you’ll need some bamboo as well, and you don’t always have to buy it. Even if it is not a plant that is native to your area, sometimes you can find it growing on the side of the road because these plants tend to take root and flourish almost anywhere. However, if you are unable to find bamboo out in nature, head to your local hardware store and buy from there. Also, look in your local yellow pages. Carpet stores sometimes have bamboo flooring that comes in bamboo rods that you could use. When you’re selecting bamboo, make sure that the diameter is  between 3/4 inches and 7/8 inches. However, thin-walled bamboo about 1/8 inch-thick or so produces the best sound. Also, look for a good piece of seasoned bamboo that isn’t cracked. It shouldn’t be really flexible or have any visible cracks, rips, splinters or holes. Make sure that the bamboo has at least one node -- a notch where it is solid inside instead of hollow like the other parts of the bamboo. It’s usually marked by circular ridges that look like joints on the bamboo. One node at the end of the flute will become what is known as the  “cork.” The node should be smooth and without holes on the inside or the outside so that the flute has proper tone.

To make a basic pie crust, you will need a food processor, a rolling pin, a knife to cut the butter, plastic wrap, extra flour for dusting, and a 9-inch pie plate. You can use two forks or a pastry cutter if you don’t have a food processor. When making pastries, it’s always important to use cold butter, because this will create air pockets that make the crust light and flakey. Cut your butter into half-inch (1.3-cm) cubes and chill them in the freezer for at least an hour. The butter can be chilled or even frozen when you make pastry, and that’s why you should cut it into cubes before chilling. Pour the flour and salt into the food processor and pulse it a few times to combine them. Then add the butter and continue pulsing the mixture until you have pea-sized clumps of butter. To do this without a food processor, use the two forks simultaneously or the pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized bits. Pour this into the mixture one tablespoon (15 ml) at a time. Continue pulsing until each tablespoon has been worked in, and then add another if necessary. The dough is ready when it comes together and is moist but not wet. Cover a countertop or flat surface with a light dusting of flour. Break the dough into five or six smaller pieces and transfer them to the floured surface. With the heel of your hand, flatten each piece out on the counter. This process is called smearing, and it helps distribute the butter evenly.  Bring the pieces back together and form the dough into a ball. Wrap it tightly with a piece of plastic wrap and transfer it to the fridge. Chill the dough for at least one hour before using. You can also keep the dough in the fridge for up to two days, or freeze it for later use. When the dough has had time to chill, remove it from the fridge and unwrap it. Flour a flat surface and transfer the dough to it. Flour the surface of your rolling pin as well.  Place the rolling pin in the center of the dough ball and apply pressure as you push the rolling pin away from...

To make a cardboard boomerang you will need a few materials ready before you begin. Most of the materials are things you have at home already.  Cardboard. This can be cardboard from a box, a cereal box, or any other cardboard you have and want to recycle.  Ruler or Protractor Pen or Pencil A marker Scissors A small water bottle Use the ruler to measure a medium sized square, about a 10 x 10 inch square. Make sure all four sides of your square are the exact same length and have straight lines. Use the scissors to cut out the square of cardboard. Make sure you follow the lines perfectly when cutting out your square so that you end up with a perfect square. It’s important that the arms of your boomerang are all the exact same size, so making it from an equilateral triangle will help. Make sure you measure accurately before cutting.  Measure one side of the square and make a mark at the halfway mark. Make another halfway mark on the opposite side as well, and use the ruler to draw a straight line between them. This should make a line running down the center of the square. Position the square in front of you so that the line is running up to down. Use your ruler to draw a line from the top of the first line to the bottom right corner of the square. This line should be the same size as the sides of your square. Repeat this to make a line from the top of the first line to the bottom left corner as well. You should now have a triangle shape on your square. Use scissors to cut the triangle out. One side of the triangle should already have a line drawn from the center up to the top corner, but you need to mark the center of the other two sides. Use your ruler to measure the sides and make a mark at the halfway point.  Use the ruler to draw straight lines from the marks you made to the corner opposite the side the mark is on. You should now have a line going directly through the center or each corner of the triangle. Use the ruler to make marks two inches from either side of the lines going through the corners. Make a...

To make a citrus flavored apple jam, cook your prepared apples with lemon juice until the apples soften and break down. Stir in pure honey and sugar. Bring the jam to a boil over medium-low heat and add liquid pectin. Boil the jam for 2 more minutes and add lemon zest. You can them process the jam in 7 pint jars. To make this variation, you'll need:  12 cups of chopped peeled, cored, and diced apples 2 cups of lemons juice 2 cups of honey 3 cups of granulated sugar 1 envelope of liquid pectin Lemon zest from 3 lemons For a soothing flavor, create a ginger liquid by pureeing 12 ounces of chopped fresh ginger with 8 ounces of water. Strain the liquid through cheesecloth to get 2 cups of ginger liquid. To make the jam, place all of the liquid into a large pot with 8 cups of peeled, cored and diced or grated apples and 5 cups of granulated sugar. Bring the jam to a boil and let it boil for 25 to 30 minutes. You can then process the jam, which will make about 6 pints. If you're using a candy thermometer to check if the jam is set, the temperature should reach between 215 and 220 degrees F. Mix together prepared apples, whole fresh cranberries, sugar and water in a large cook pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat and let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the lemon zest and juice. Keep lightly boiling the jam until it thickens. You can process it in about 4 to 5 pint jars. You'll need:  8 cups of apples 6 cups of granulated sugar 1 cup of water The juice and zest of 2 lemons If you like the taste of apple jam, but don't want to use as much sugar, make apple butter in a slow cooker. Place 5 pounds of quartered apples in a slow cooker along with 1 cup of apple cider and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. Once the apples are soft (after cooking 3 or 4 hours), mash and strain them to remove the peels and seeds. Add 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.

To make a disappearing handkerchief box, you’ll need to gather several household items:  Thin cardboard or posterboard Tape Scissors Handkerchief Paint, wrapping paper, and other decorative items Glue Black construction paper or black paint Use a ruler and pencil to mark out your squares, and cut them out using a pair of sharp, sturdy scissors. You can make your magic box any size that you want, but you’ll need six squares of the same size no matter what their size. For a manageable small box, measure 4”-6” squares. You can do this by gluing the cardboard squares onto the black construction paper or by painting one side with black paint. For one square, glue black paper to or paint both sides.  Paper may be preferable, as it is the same color and texture throughout. You also don't have to worry about smearing the paint. If you glue your squares to construction paper, allow the glue to dry. Then cut them out and trim the excess paper from the edges. Place four squares on your work surface with the black side down. Tape their edges together, then bring the last two sides together to form a box. Place a strip of tape on the outside of that edge too. Don’t use the double-sided square for this step. Place the remaining single-sided cardboard square on your work surface with the black side face up. Place one edge of the double-sided square about ⅓ of the way from one edge of the square. Secure with tape on that side to form a hinge. Slide the four-sided box you made in Step 4 over the secret compartment piece. The double-sided square should create a flap inside the box and should be able to move freely back and forth. Secure at the bottom with tape. If the flap isn’t able to move, trim the edges just a little bit. Don’t trim too much, or you’ll ruin the illusion. Use paint, wrapping paper, and/or stickers to decorate the outside of the box. Make it as colorful as you can; the vivid colors and patterns will help distract your audience as you perform the trick. Push the flap forward to open the secret compartment,...

To make a homemade cleaning solution, mix cool water with a few squirts of dish soap. How much you need will depend on if you're cleaning a whole bag or just an isolated stain.  For a few small stains, use a cup (8 ounces) of water and about an ounce of dishwasher soap. You can double or triple this amount for a whole bag. Don't use hot water when mixing a homemade solution. Hot water will set the stain and make it harder to get out. Dip a toothbrush into your cleaning solution. Then, with your hand holding the bag from the other side, scrub small areas of the bag at a time. You should move the brush in a circular motion to bring up any dirt or stains.  You should create a bit of a lather as you do this. If you there are stains on your bag, use the same procedure, but scrub a little longer. How long you have to scrub will depend on the size of the stain, but you should scrub for at least a minute. Once you're done scrubbing the stain, wipe down the area you cleaned with a cloth dipped in clear water. You may need to repeat this step more than once to get all of the soap off the nylon. Nylon is pretty water-resistant, so you should be able to blot the bag dry. If your bag has cloth straps, they'll take longer to dry.

To make a lanyard keychain all you will need is a split ring or keychain assembly and some thin rope or plastic lacing. The rope or lacing will need to be at least four times as long as you would like your finished lanyard to be, so lengths will vary, but they need to be at least three feet long so you will have enough rope to handle.   Cut two pieces of the rope or lacing the same length. It is nice if each is a different color, so that your finished keychain is colorful and so it's easier to keep track of where you are in your weaving process. Some people like to make these keychains with paracord, so that if you are ever in an emergency and you need a bit of rope, you will have it with you! Your lanyard keychain is finished!

To make a natural cough syrup, you need garlic, oregano, and honey. You need ½ cup of honey, 2 cloves of garlic, and 2 sprigs of fresh oregano. You can measure out about one teaspoon to one tablespoon of oregano instead.  Garlic, honey, and oregano are antimicrobials that help naturally fight colds and coughs. You can also add ½ cup of onion and one lemon if you want. Boil the garlic cloves and the oregano with about ½ cup of water. Boil for about five minutes. Let the boiling mixture cool for a few minutes, then pour into a cup with the honey. Mix together. Now, it is ready to drink. An alternate way to make this cough syrup is to let it set overnight. In a jar, put the oregano at the bottom, then the garlic, then lemon and onion. Pour the honey and water over the ingredients, making sure the water covers all the ingredients completely. Put the lid on the jar so it is airtight, and let it steep overnight. Strain the liquid the next morning and only drink the liquid.  Store in your refrigerator for a week. This makes an even stronger cough syrup because the garlic and onion (if you add onion) are stronger and have more medicinal properties if they aren’t cooked.

To make a spring roll, place your choice of fillings, including raw vegetables, tofu, pork, and chicken, on the bottom third of the paper. Place the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then continue to wrap the roll upwards as you keep the filling tight inside the paper. Fried spring rolls can be made by dropping the rolls into boiling oil until golden brown. Place the rice paper in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Once they are made and exposed to the air, they will absorb moisture. Store paper that will be used soon, such as premade spring rolls, by wrapping them in a damp towel and then plastic wrap before refrigeration to keep them soft. When fresh rice paper has been sealed properly and refrigerated, it can last a few days. Refrigeration will cause the paper to harden, so before using leftover rice paper, dip it in lukewarm water and let it set on a plate. Paper that doesn’t soften to your liking can be thrown out or chopped up into noodles.

To make an invisible ink pen, you will need Q-tips or a paintbrush, an acidic solution, a shallow dish or bowl, white paper, and a source of heat. The Q-tips or paintbrush will be used to do the actual writing. Choose the item that works the best for you.  Any of the following can serve as the acidic solution for the invisible ink: milk, vinegar, or lemon juice. The heat source can be a candle, a hair dryer, an iron, or even a lamp. All of these items should easily be found around the home or purchased at the grocery store. If you are using a lemon, squeeze the lemon until the juice comes out into the bowl. If you are using milk or vinegar, pour about half of a cup into the bowl. The exact amount isn’t important. You will only need enough to write your message.  Dispose of the liquid down the drain when you are finished. Do not use the liquid for anything else once you have used it for invisible ink. A Q-tip is a very easy device to use as a pen. Dip it in the solution until it is damp. Write your secret message, dipping the Q-tip into the ink every few letters. This ensures that you have used enough ink for the message to show up later. It may be difficult to keep track of what you are writing because the writing will be invisible as well. If you write at a well-lit table you will be better able to see what you are writing while the ink is still wet. Before revealing your hidden message, you need to let the ink dry completely. It shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes for the ink to finish drying. Set the first paper aside and write more messages while you wait for the first one to dry. Once you have obtained a heating device, apply it to the paper where something has been written with the invisible ink. As the paper heats up, the areas that have invisible ink on them will begin to turn brown. When the message starts to appear, remove the heat source from the paper. If the message is unclear, keep the heat on for a few more seconds until it comes clear.  Be extremely cautious not to light the paper on fire if...

To make and distribute effective leaflets, remember who your audience is. A leaflet meant for a child looks differently than one meant for a 75 year old grandma. These groups have different interests and gather in different areas. Refine your message and strategies in order to appeal to your target audience. Smaller leaflets cost less and are less likely to be discarded. Give your audience the information they need without excess they won’t read. The larger the leaflet, the harder it will be for you to distribute. A leaflet that’s difficult for you to handle will also be difficult for readers to read and carry. Stick to powerful words in simple sentences. An effective leaflet typically has an eye-catching image or logo as well as a clear headline. Attractive color schemes draw attention. Bright-colored paper can help, as well as a bold, large-print headline. Snappy mottos or phrases stand out and cause people to remember your leaflet after reading it.  For example, a headline that asks, “Need a local gardener?” explains the meaning of the leaflet very clearly.  Gather leaflets in your area and study what makes them appealing. Find the design choices that draw your attention. Relevant details may include a telephone number, an address, and business hours. Don’t forget to include expiration dates when advertising coupons or sales. A small map may also help visitors navigate confusing areas. Guide interested readers further towards your cause.

To make any smoothie, you need a good blender, but higher power blenders do not necessarily mean better blenders. Additionally, you don’t want to use a food processor for smoothies. Food processors work better with solid foods, and smoothies are mostly made with softer fruits and vegetables. Immersion blenders are hand-held blenders with the blades at the bottom. An immersion blender is a popular choice for making smoothies. You can blend the ingredients in the cup you want to drink from, or you can do it in a separate bowl or container. You can’t crush ice with an immersion blender. Some frozen fruit may pose difficulties, too. Countertop blenders sit on the countertop and ingredients are added to the blender jar. The jar can be glass, plastic, or steel. These blenders can range from $20 to over $500.  Glass is heaviest and provides the most stability. In addition, glass won’t retain any flavor or odors. Glass also allows you to see your smoothie as it is made, which can help you know if you need to add more liquid or if you need to keep blending. Plastic blenders can get stained, especially when you are using a lot of brightly colored fruits and vegetables, like blueberries and beets. If you are going to make smoothies with a lot of harder vegetables and fruits, like carrots, beets, frozen fruits, or similar, you may want to buy a blender with a larger motor. This helps ensure the blender is strong enough to puree all the ingredients. Consider a blender of at least 1000 watts. Blenders come in a lot of various sizes. If you are making smoothies for yourself, a single serve blender may be all you need. If you are looking to involve family members, use smoothies to serve guests, or make extra for later, you may be more interested in a multi-serve blender. Traditional countertop blenders are usually multi-serve. High-speed blending systems, like the NutriBullet, are single serve.

To make curved cuts in your MDF piece, acquire a jigsaw that is compatible with quick-change blades. Then, purchase a bi-metal jigsaw blade and place it inside your device’s blade clamp mechanism. For the best results possible, look for a narrow blade that has lots of small teeth, such as a T-shank.  High-quality jigsaws normally cost between $80 and $200. Look for them at home improvement stores. For safety, unplug your device before installing the blade. Set your plank of wood on a sturdy working table and position it so the area you need to cut hangs over the edge. Then, place large clamps around the edges of your MDF piece to keep it from moving around. If the area you’re cutting is in the middle of the MDF piece, place each end of the wood on a sturdy table or saw horse. Using a pencil, draw a line on the surface of the wood showing where you intend to cut it. If necessary, use a drafting compass or stencils to create more precise curves. Place the front of your jigsaw’s shoe at the start of the area you want to cut. Make sure the device’s blade lines up with your marked line, then turn the saw on and ease it into the wood. MDF is incredibly dense, so use slow, gentle motions to work your way through it.

To make germination easier, consider soaking the seeds in tap water for 12 hours in a bowl. Viable seeds will sink to the bottom of the bowl and non-viable seeds will float. After 12 hours, place the viable seeds on a towel. Paper towels are thick enough to retain the moisture needed to help the seeds germinate. Place one paper towel under running water until it is wet to the touch, but not dripping wet. Use a ceramic dish or plate, as it will be strong enough to hold the towels and the seeds. The paper towel should cover the dish or plate. Place the blunt end of the seeds, the end that does not have a point, on the towel, spacing them apart so their roots do not get tangled. If you do not have enough space on one plate for all your seeds, soak two more paper towels and put the remainder on a new plate covered in a wet paper towel. Make sure the wet towel makes contact with the seeds. The cannabis seeds need to sit at a warm, consistent temperature to germinate. Store the seeds out of direct sunlight in a warm area, such as the top of your refrigerator. You can try using a heat lamp near the seeds to keep them warm. Do not warm the seeds up too much, as you do not want your heat source to dry out the paper towels. Spray the top towel with a spray bottle of water to keep them moist. Check the paper towels several times a day to ensure they do not dry out. If the seeds become too dry, they could die and never germinate. Viable cannabis seeds will usually open with 48 hours. You should see the roots start to appear within a few days, depending on the seed type. Once the tap roots are 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch (0.64 to 1.27 cm) long, the seeds are ready to be planted.  Be very careful with the seeds as they open. Avoid prodding, pulling, or touching the seeds, as you do not want to damage the roots. Any seeds that have not opened and grown roots within a few days should be discarded, as they are not viable.

To make homemade soap scum cleaner, you’ll need equal parts of white vinegar and dish soap. You can make as little or as much of the cleaner as you’d like, so adjust the amounts accordingly to have 1 part of each. If you want to make enough of the cleaner to use repeatedly, it’s best to measure between 1 and 2 cups (237 to 473 ml) of both the vinegar and dish detergent. Once you’ve measured out the vinegar and dish soap, transfer the vinegar to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until it is hot but not boiling. Heating the vinegar makes it easier to blend it with the thick dish soap. After you’ve heated the vinegar, pour it into a spray bottle. Add an equal amount of the dish soap, and secure the lid on the bottle. Shake it well to mix the two. Test the spray after you’ve mixed it. If it’s too thick to spray, you can mix in a little bit of warm, distilled water to thin it out. When you’re ready to use the cleaner, spray a generous amount over the affected tile. Allow the spray to sit on the tile for at least 30 minutes so it has time to cut through the soap scum. If the tile has a particularly thick layer of soap scum, you may want to leave the spray on the surface for an hour or longer. After you’ve let the cleaner sit on the tile for a half hour or longer, use a damp sponge to wipe the soap scum and residue away.  Next, spray the area with warm water to rinse it completely clean.  If the soap scum isn’t wiping away on the sponge, you can use a soft scrub brush to work on the stubborn areas. Scrub lightly, though, to avoid scratching the tile. If you don’t have a spray bottle to rinse the tile, wet a clean cloth or rag with warm water to rinse it. Once the tile is rinsed clean, use a clean towel or rag to wipe down the surface so it is completely dry. Keep the bottle of cleanser with the rest of your cleaning supplies, and use anytime that you notice soap scum buildup. The homemade soap scum cleaner should stay effective for 6 months to 1 year.

If you are very shy, find a group for social anxiety, even if it has to be online. Look on places like Craigslist, Meetup, or local news websites for activities in your area. Don't attend functions with the sole idea of making friends or meeting people. Try to go with no expectations whatsoever and to enjoy yourself regardless of what happens. Look for activities that interest you and that also involve groups of people like book clubs, church groups, political campaigns, concerts and art exhibitions Making new friends often requires you to take the first step and invite others out to do things. Don't wait for people to approach you: you should approach them. Ask the person if they want to chat or get a coffee. You must always show interest in other people before they will show interest in you.  Be yourself as you try to make new friends.  Don’t try to impress a new person by misrepresenting yourself. That may lead to the end of the new friendship before it even gets started. Be a good listener.  Pay close attention when people are talking.

To make straight cuts in your MDF, acquire a circular saw that has a cutting speed between 3,000 and 3,350 metres per second (9,800 and 11,000 ft/s). For the best cut possible, install a blade that has at least 60 teeth and a width of about 355 mm (14.0 in). For additional strength, pick a blade that has a carbide tip.  You can find circular saws at most home improvement stores. High-quality models typically cost between $100 and $300. Before installing the blade, make sure you unplug the device to prevent any accidents. Position your circular saw so that the bottom of the saw blade sits flush against the side of your MDF board. Then, loosen your saw’s depth knob or lever and carefully move the blade until the tip sits just below your MDF plank. When you’ve positioned the blade where you want it, retighten the depth knob or lever. To ensure the blade cuts properly, try to position it so that the tip sits between 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) and 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) below the MDF plank. Place your MDF piece on a large working table or, if you’re cutting through the middle of the plank, place each end on a separate working table or saw horse. Make sure the area you need to cut hangs over the edge of the surface, then lock the MDF in place using heavy-duty clamps. Using woodworking tape or a pencil, create a line on top of your MDF piece indicating the area you wish to cut through. Since you can only cut through the wood once, double check the line’s length using a tape measure and its alignment using a level or L-square. If you’re using a pencil, make sure the line is thick enough that you can see it easily from a distance. Line up the front of your circular saw with the beginning of your marked line. Then, turn the saw on and gently push it through your MDF piece. Do your best to hold the saw steady, and make sure your cutting speed is slow and consistent. If you feel your saw jitter or kick, turn the device off and let it rest for a minute.

To make sure that your oven is hot enough when the cake is ready to bake, it’s important to preheat it. Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius), and allow it to fully heat. Next, grease a 8- or 9-inch (20- or 23-cm) cake or pie pan and set aside.  Keep an eye on your oven so you know when it’s fully preheated. Most models will beep and/or flash an indicator light to alert you that it’s reached the desired temperature. You can use a springform for the cake if you’re worried about the sides sticking to the pan after baking. Use nonstick cooking spray, butter, or margarine to grease the pan. In a large bowl, cream together 10 tablespoons (142 g) of butter, ⅔ cup (132 g) of brown sugar, and ⅓ cup (66 g) of white sugar with an electric mixer on medium. Blend the mixture for 2 minutes or until the butter and sugars are fully combined.  You can also use a stand mixer to make the cookie cake batter. If you don’t have any type of electric mixer, you can blend the batter by hand with a wooden spoon. It will just take more time. Once the butter and sugars are fully blended, add an egg, another egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla. Blend together on medium until all of the ingredients are fully incorporated, which should take 1 to 2 minutes. After you’ve combined all of the wet ingredients, you can add in the dry ingredients. Stir 1 ⅔ cups (208 g) of flour, ¾ teaspoon (3.45 g) of baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon (4.3 g) of salt into the batter. Mix on a low speed until the ingredients are just  combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter when you’re adding the dry ingredients. If you mix the flour too much, gluten can develop, which can make the finished cake chewy and tough. When you’ve mixed the dry ingredients into the batter, use a wooden spoon to stir in 1 cup (175 g) of chocolate chips minus 2 tablespoons (30 g). Set aside the extra chips for use later.  You can use any type of chocolate chips that you prefer, such as milk, semi sweet, dark, or white chocolate chips. You may even want to...

To make the dry ice last longer, wrap the blocks of dry ice in newspaper. The newspaper will insulate it and slow down the evaporation time. Newspaper can also prevent you from accidentally touching the dry ice with bare hands. If you bought small chunks of ice, you may not be able to wrap them in newspaper. Instead, surround the chunks with newspaper to slow evaporation. If you want to be able to access the food and drinks frequently or easily, place the wrapped dry ice on the bottom of the cooler. Then you can arrange the food or drinks on top of the ice. When you need to get the food or drinks, simply open the cooler and remove the items. If you're storing food, remember that the food or drinks will freeze if they're touching the dry ice. Place newspaper or cardboard between the dry ice and the items. To help the dry ice last longer, take a few sheets of newspaper and wad them into loose balls. Place the newspaper between the chunks of dry ice or wherever there are any gaps. The space between the dry ice will make it evaporate faster. If you want to prevent your items from freezing or to prevent people from accidentally touching the dry ice, lay a piece of cardboard directly over the dry ice in the bottom of the freezer. Cut a hole about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide in the cardboard so the gas has a way to escape as the dry ice evaporates. The cardboard acts as a buffer to stop people from touching the dry ice and can prevent food from freezing, so you can skip this if you're mainly using the cooler for food storage. If you would rather use the cooler like a portable freezer, place the items you want to freeze in the bottom of the cooler instead of on top. For example, place meat from a hunting trip in storage bags at the bottom of the cooler. Set the dry ice directly on the food so it freezes quickly. Avoid putting the dry ice on top if you plan on getting in and out of the cooler often since it can be difficult to move the dry ice out of the way. Dry ice will evaporate on its own over several hours or days...

To make the most of your practice you need to be working on your skill every day. Study after study has shown that consistently practicing a skill is far more useful than trying to practice for 4-5 hours once or twice a week. Even 15-20 minutes of practice 7 days a week cab be more effective than 3 hours once a week.   Sports: If you can't practice one day, try to get some exercise (run, bike, swim, etc.) in if you can.  Music: At the very least, run through your scales and 2-3 practice songs to keep practicing your speed and technique.  Intellectual: Make flashcards and review them daily when you do not have time to study. You want to make practicing a habit as natural as brushing your teeth. Choose a time to practice and stick to it every day. After 2-3 weeks, you brain will adapt to this schedule and prepare itself for "practice-time." Think of practicing like working-out: it is much easier to stay in shape if you have a set time to go to the gym .   Sports: Schedule practices 3-5 days a week, using extra days for exercise. Set aside one day a week for rest and recovery.  Music: Practice your instrument daily, aiming to work at least 1 hour each day.  Intellectual: It is much easier to learn something when you study each day as opposed to all at once the night before a test. Make a habit of practicing writing or studying daily, even if it is only for a short while. If you're learning an instrument, for example, you might set aside 20 minutes to practice scales, 20 minutes to practice chords and 20 minutes to learn a new song. Having a plan for your practice makes you more likely to stick to your routine and to visualize how you will improve.   Sports: Warm up for 15 minutes, work on skill drills (passing, shooting, etc.) for 20-30 minutes, play scrimmages or game-like situations for 20-30 minutes, then cool down with stretching for 10-15 minutes.  Music: Warm up for 10 minutes with scales, then practice your songs, chords, or new techniques. End with a review of old songs you need to know or have fun...

To make the scrambled eggs, crack 8 whole eggs into a large bowl. Add ¼ cup (59 ml) of half-and-half and salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to thoroughly blend the mixture.  You can use your favorite egg substitute to make the scrambled eggs if you prefer. If you want your breakfast quesadillas to have a stronger Mexican or Tex Mex flavor, you can also mix some taco seasoning or chili powder into the eggs. Fresh chives and/or cilantro can also be a tasty addition to the scrambled eggs. After you’ve finished blending the egg mixture, add another tablespoon of butter (14 g) to the skillet. Allow the butter to heat over medium-low for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it is mostly melted. Next, carefully pour the egg mixture into the pan with the butter. Make sure that the skillet isn’t too hot or the eggs may cook too quickly. Keep the pan on medium-low. Once the eggs are in the skillet, use a wooden spoon or spatula to drag the mixture around to form curds at it cooks. Allow the mixture to cook until it thickens and there is no visible liquid remaining. Remove the skillet from the heat, and set aside for the moment. If the eggs seem to be cooking too quickly, drop the heat down to low to keep them from burning.

To make this apple and cinnamon pancake topping (which also functions as an apple pie filling or all-purpose dessert topping), you’ll need your apples, a sharp knife, and a large saucepan. After coring and peeling the apples, cut them into small cubes. Set them aside as you prepare the sauce. Add the water, lemon juice, spices, sugar, maple syrup, and cornstarch to the saucepan. Heat on medium heat, stirring frequently. Once the sauce starts to bubble and thicken, continue stirring for another two minutes. Turn the heat to low and stir to combine. Cover the saucepan and let the mixture cook on low for about 10 minutes, until the apples are soft. Once the apples are soft, remove the filling from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes. It doesn’t have to be room temperature, but you don’t want to burn any mouths! Place one to two pancakes on a plate and cover each one with a few dollops of the apple cinnamon topping. Add a swirl of whipped cream for an extra special treat. Once it’s cooled to room temperature, you can store the leftover apple topping in an air-tight container in the fridge.

To make this as convincing as possible, don’t get rid of all of your cards. Leave 1-3 cards in your hand, and get rid of the others. Do this about half way into the game, so you can accumulate some cards first. If you can, save any powerful cards, such as Wild cards, Reverse cards, or Draw 2 cards. For an easy option, use a glass soda bottle. Put the bottle across the room in line with the restroom. Without anyone noticing, sneak your cards into your lap in 1 stack, and place them in your hand. Use the sleeve of your jacket to hide the cards, and politely excuse yourself to use the restroom. Then, put the cards inside the bottle when you walk towards the bathroom.  This way, you get rid of many of your cards, so you can be the first to say, “UNO.” The item you use will depend on what is available to you. For instance, you can also hide the cards in a cabinet in your bathroom. This requires some sleight of hand. If someone happens to find your cards inside the bottle, act like you have no idea what they are talking about. Say something like, “How could those get inside there?” Alternatively, get up as soon as you win the game. That way, your trick cannot be discovered.

To make this costume, you will need:  Sewing supplies Black felt Yellow felt White felt Black hooded sweatshirt Hot glue Dark pants and shoes Sketch out two hooked beak halves onto black felt. Use sharp scissors to cut both pieces out.  You can freehand sketch the beak pattern, if desired. Note that you need to draw the beak from a side view, rather than a top view. The base should be somewhat rectangular, but the beak itself should appear as a hooked or curved triangular shape. Your beak should be large enough to attach to your sweatshirt and make the hood of the black sweatshirt look like the bird’s head. The size may be dependent on if you are an adult or a kid. Lay the two beak pieces on top of each other and sew along the top edge. Place the beak on the top of the hood, just above the opening, and sew the base of the beak onto the hood.  Since felt doesn't fray, you do not need to turn the material inside-out as you work. Make sure that your seams are neat and even, however, to prevent the work from looking messy. The beak should be positioned in the center of the hood and should hang over the face area when you put the hood on your head. For each eye, you will need a yellow circle, a black circle, and a white semi-circle.  The yellow circles should be about 3 inches in diameter. The black circles should be about 2.5 inches in diameter. The white semi-circle should be about 1 inch in diameter. Lay the black circle on top of the yellow circle, precisely centered. Glue in place. Lay the white semi-circle on top of the black circle so that the flat edge lies in the center of the black circle. Glue in place.  Use fabric glue or hot glue for this. Let dry before pressing on. Cut off a few individual feathers from your strip of feathered fringe. Turn each eye over to reveal the back, and glue these feathers around about half of each eye. Note that the feathers should fan out from the side of the eye facing the flat side of your white semi-circular portion. Position the eyes on either side of the beak on the...

To make this knot, you need two strings, ropes, etc. Alternatively, you can use the opposite ends of a single rope. In our example, we'll lay the right-hand rope (the orange one in the graphic above) over the left-hand rope (the yellow one). However, if you lay the left-hand rope over the right-hand rope instead, you can still get a square knot if you reverse all of the following directions. From the front, your square knot should look like the one in the graphic above. You can also find good reference images at AnimatedKnots.com and other knot sites.  If you have tightened the rope correctly, you should see that it forms a neat, even knot from two loops with one loop wrapping around the base of the other.

To make this rustic American-style doll, you'll need corn husks with the silk still on them. Around a dozen corn husks (one or two ears of corn at most) should be enough to make one doll. You'll also need a large bowl of water, scissors to cut the husks, and pins and twine to bind them into shape. Corn husk dolls are made with dried husks. Use a food drier, or set the husks out in the sun for a few days until they become dry and are no longer green. Sun drying the husks is the preferred method because it's more traditional (and corn husk dolls are steeped in both American Indian and colonial tradition), but as long as they're well-dried, the result will be more or less the same. Before the next step, pull the dried silk off of the husks and set it aside. You'll be using it soon, but it needs to stay dry while you soak the husks to keep it from getting soggy. Lay all the silk in generally the same direction rather than heaping or tangling it. When you're ready to make your doll, soak the dried husks in a bowl of water for about 10 minutes. Though it sounds counterintuitive, this won't actually rehydrate the husks you so carefully dried; rather, it will make them temporarily more flexible, so that you can bend them into shape without breaking them. Once the husks have soaked, blot them dry with paper towels and set them aside. If the husks are significantly different in size from one another, now is a good time to tear or clip the largest ones so that they're all roughly the same size. This will help prevent a lopsided doll. Take a corn husk and lay it in front of you with the pointed end out, then lay a bunch of corn silk along its length. Next, lay two husks on top of the first husk and silk, also with their points away from you, and add more silk. Repeat everything one more time (for a total of six husks and hour sections of silk), and then tie the whole stack together about 1 ½ inches from the flat ends of the husks. Use scissors to round the flat ends of the husks. Pick up the husk and silk bundle and hold...

To make this type of bioplastic, you will need cornstarch, distilled water, glycerol, white vinegar, a stove, a saucepan, a silicone spatula, and food coloring (if desired). These items should be readily available at the grocery store or online. Glycerol is also called glycerine, so try searching for that if you’re having trouble finding glycerol. The following amounts of each ingredient are needed to make the bioplastic:  10ml distilled water 0.5-1.5g glycerol 1.5g cornstarch 1ml of white vinegar 1-2 drops food coloring Adult supervision is recommended. Add all of the ingredients to the saucepan and stir to combine with the spatula. Stir until you get rid of most of the lumps in the mixture. At this stage, the mixture will be a milky white color and quite watery. If you add the wrong amounts of ingredients, just dispose of the mixture and start again. Place the saucepan on the stove and set the heat to medium-low. Stir continuously as the mixture heats. Bring it to a gentle boil. As the mixture heats, it will become more translucent and begin to thicken.  Remove the mixture from the heat when it becomes clear and thick. Total heating time will be around 10-15 minutes. Lumps may begin to form if the mixture gets overheated. Add one-two drops of food coloring at this stage, if you would like to color the plastic. Spread the heated mixture onto a piece of foil or parchment paper to let it cool. If you would like to mold the plastic into a shape, it must be done while it is still warm. See the last method for details on molding the plastic. Remove any bubbles that you see by poking them with a toothpick. It will take time for the plastic to dry and harden. As it cools, it will begin to dry out. Depending on the thickness of the plastic, it can take longer for it to dry. If you make one small thick piece it will take longer to dry than a thinner larger piece.  Leave the plastic in a cool, dry place for this process. Check the plastic after two days to see if it has fully hardened.

To make your skin look as blemish-free as possible, start by applying facial primer evenly across your face. Next, put on your preferred foundation and blend it in. Apply concealer under your eyes and on top of any blemishes.  You can swap out the primer for facial lotion or a light moisturizer. If you have naturally good skin, you can skip this step and only apply the primer. To select the right foundation for your skin, dip a Q-tip into a container of foundation, then run the Q-tip over your jawline. If you can't see where your skin ends and the foundation begins, this is the right shade for you.

To manage the pain of your sore throat and also to control fever, your best bet is to take Acetaminophen (Tylenol), which is available over-the-counter at your local pharmacy or drugstore. The typical dosing is limited to a total of 3000 mg in a 24 hour period; follow the specific dosing instructions on the bottle, and pay attention to dose adjustments (to smaller amounts) for children. Another over-the-counter pain control medication that you can try is Ibuprofen (Advil). Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle, which is typically 400mg every four to six hours as needed. Again, you will want to adjust the dosing for children. Another way to help control the pain of a sore throat is to purchase lozenges — these can often be found at either a grocery store or a pharmacy. Many lozenges contain anti-microbial properties to help fight off infection, as well as anesthetic (numbing) properties to help diminish the pain of a sore throat. Do not take more lozenges per day than the number recommended on the label. Another way to soothe sore throat pain is to try a saltwater gargle, which can be done several times a day. Anytime your body is in the midst of fighting off an infection, you become more prone than normal to dehydration. Therefore, it is key to consume at least eight to ten 8-ounce cups of water per day, and more if you are feeling thirsty. A fever also worsens dehydration, so it is important to make an effort to stay adequately hydrated. Penicillin is usually the antibiotic of choice in the treatment of streptococcal infections (the bacteria responsible for scarlet fever). If your throat swab comes back positive for Group A Strep, or if you have the characteristic rash of scarlet fever, it is important to follow through with a full course of antibiotic treatment for a number of reasons. These include:  Antibiotics will help your symptoms to clear up faster and will help your immune system to fight off the infection.  Treatment with antibiotics will diminish the risk of your infection spreading to...

To manipulate data, be it numbers or names, you need to store the data in a container. This process is called declaring the variable. The syntax for declaring a variable is “$myVariable = “Hello World!”;”  The dollar sign ($) at the beginning tells PHP that $myVariable is a variable. All variables must start with the dollar sign, but the name of the variable can be anything. In the above example, the value is "Hello World!", and the variable is $myVariable. You're telling PHP to store the value at the right of the equal sign, into the variable at the left of the equal sign. A variable containing a text value is known as a string. Referring to a variable in the code is known as a call. Declare your variable, then echo the variable instead of typing out the text. Your code might look something like:<?php>$myVariable = “Hello World!”;echo $myVariable;?> Variables can also contain numbers (known as integers), and then those numbers can be manipulated using simple mathematical functions. Start by declaring three variables called “$mySmallNumber”, “$myLargeNumber”, and “$myTotal”. Your code should look something like:<?php$mySmallNumber;$myLargeNumber;$myTotal;?> Give an integer value to “$mySmallNumber” and “myLargeNumber”.  Note that integer values do not need to be contained in quotation marks. That will cause numbers to be treated as a text value like the “Hello World!” variable. Your code should look something like:<?php$mySmallNumber = 12;$myLargeNumber = 356;$myTotal;?> Rather than doing the math yourself, you can call the two variables in the “$myTotal” variable. Using a mathematical function, the machine will calculate the sum for you. To print the variable, you need only add an echo statement that calls the variable after the declaration.  Any change to either integer variable would be reflected when printing the “$myTotal” variable with echo. Your code should look something like:<?php$mySmallNumber = 12;$myLargeNumber = 356;$myTotal = $mySmall Number + $myLargeNumber;echo $myTotal;?> Your browser window...

To maximize health benefits, proponents of black seed oil recommend eating up to three teaspoons of it a day. The easiest way to do this is by swallowing a teaspoon of the oil with each meal. You can mix the oil into anything you’d normally eat or drink instead of consuming it raw. The oil has a strong, bitter taste and has a thick consistency like cooking oil. Mixing the black seed oil with a healthy alternative like honey masks the oil’s bitter taste. Combine one teaspoon of honey with one teaspoon of black seed oil in a small bowl. Stir them together and enjoy the oil however you’d like. Lemon juice can be substituted in for the honey. Combine a teaspoon of it with the oil to mask the flavor. Black seed oil is a natural substitute for olive oil and dressings used on vegetables. Pour a teaspoon of it directly on your vegetables or mix it with lemon juice or honey first. You’ll get the benefits of the oil without having to swallow it like medicine. Drinks hide both the flavor and consistency of the oil. After you brew tea, stir a teaspoon of the oil into your cup. That teaspoon of oil can also be blended inside a smoothie. Honey and lemon juice are often used in these types of strong drinks, so the oil is a natural accompaniment. Try taking it on an empty stomach.

To maximize your bloom time, cut your tulips when they are in the advanced bud stage. This is when the flower hasn’t quite emerged, but the bud is close to blooming and the color of the flower is visible. The flower will fully bloom in 1-4 days. You’ll see a pink or purplish color from within the mainly green bud, for example. Using a sharp knife, garden shears, or scissors, make your cut on the stem at angle. Cutting the plant at an angle keeps it healthy and promotes regrowth. You can cut your tulips to any desired length. For a standard vase size, cut the stem to around 12–18 in (30–46 cm). Only cut the stem of your tulip plants, rather than trimming the leaves as well. Make your cut towards the base of the plant, but ensure there are no leaves in the way. This keeps your plant healthy. Leaving the foliage in place helps the plant build up energy for next year. Fill up a vase of your choosing about ⅔ of cool water, and then place your tulips inside. You can fill up your vase with many tulips, or you can also add other flowers or floral accents.  Avoid adding paperwhite narcissus or daffodils to your tulip vase. These flowers exude a gummy sap that can harm your tulips. Using floral preservative is not necessary for tulips. If you want to use one, simply shake it into the water before you place your tulips into the vase. Use a knife to cut the end of the plant at an angle, removing about 1⁄16–1⁄8 in (0.16–0.32 cm) of the stem. A knife is the preferred tool to make the cut, as scissors can crush the stem and make it more difficult for the plant to absorb water. To maintain the health of your tulips, dump out the water every day. Then, fill your vase up with cool water. With proper care, your tulips can last 7-14 days in a vase.  This helps the plants absorb water and extend their vase life. Tulips stay fresh the longest in cold water, rather than warm or hot.
