Place the gift close enough to the edge so that if you bend the paper up towards the flat end of the object, it hits right at the middle. Make sure the paper is long enough to fully wrap around the gift with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of overlap. The flat ends of the gift should be facing the long sides of the paper. Take one of the short ends and pull it up and over the curved side of the cylinder. Hold it in place while you do the same with the other end. Then, tape it into place with a strip of tape as long as the overlapping side. For a neater look, you can use double-sided tape. Before you pull the paper over the gift, place it on the underside of one edge of paper, then roll the paper and smooth the tape into place. Making sure that the gift is still center in the paper tube, carefully fold the top edge of the paper over one of the flat sides. Crease it neatly and as close to the object as you can. Hold the top of the paper in place. Then, pinch the paper slightly on one side and pull it gently in. Make a sharp, diagonal crease that points toward the center of the flat, circular end. Pinch a bit of the loose paper next to the crease you just made and do the same thing. Make a neat, diagonal fold that overlaps the fold you just made. Hold the two creases in place tightly with one hand. Continue making overlapping creases across the flat end of the gift, eventually moving down to the bottom half of the paper. Make them as tight as possible so they stay in place while you move across the gift. When all the creases are finished, it should look a bit like a spiral at the flat end of the gift. You can roll the gift as you go to make it easier to fold. Once all the creases are completed, take a small piece of tape and place it right over the center of the flat end, where all of the creases point to. Repeat on the second flat end of the cylinder to complete the wrapping If you want to hide the center of the creases, tie or stick a bow over it.

Place the glue about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch around the bottom of the stick where the bristles will go. If you aren't concerned about creating a long-lasting brush, you can skip the glue and just affix your bristles with your binding material. Cover the end of your handle (where the glue is) with about 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch (0.6 to 1.3 cm) of your bristle materials. You can vary the thickness of your brush by applying more or less of your bristle material. Tie string, twine, or other binding material around the bristles and handle.   Make sure the binding is tight so your bristles do not slip out, especially if you aren't using glue.  You may want to add more glue over the top of your binding to create a stronger, more durable brush. The amount of time necessary for this will vary depending on your glue and the amount you used. Follow the instructions that came with your glue, and if in doubt, wait a longer than might be necessary. Once the bristles are firmly secured, you can cut them to the length and shape you want. You'll probably want to keep about 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) in length. The width will vary according to how thick you'd like your brushstrokes to be. For a more precise brush, cut the bristles around the outside a little shorter than those in the center, so the bristles come to something of a point.

Place the hamster's cage on the floor. Put some food and water in the cage, and leave it with the door open near where you think your hamster is hiding. Hamsters may eventually want to go somewhere secure that smells familiar. If you have an aquarium cage, you can place it on its side. Another way to try to catch the hamster is to put the wheel out. When you hear the squeaks at night, you will know which room the hamster is in. You may be able to sneak up on the hamster and catch it. Put some of the hamster's favorite food on some tinfoil in corners of the room. Dim all lights late at night and listen for the hamster rustling the tinfoil as it goes after the food. When you put treats out at night, surround the treats with a ring of flour. When the hamster goes to the treats and takes them back to its hideout, the feet will leave a trail of flour back to where it's staying. A humane mousetrap might be a way to catch your hamster. Set them out at night, making sure to check them as soon as you wake up in the morning. Turn off all lights and electronics. Stand very still in the dark room. Listen for sounds of the hamster. You may have to wait a little bit. Eventually, you will hear the hamster moving around. You can try tying a string with a bell on it to a carrot stick. When the hamster eats the carrot stick, he will move the bell. When you finally find the hamster, you need to catch it. Toss a lightweight towel over the hamster so that the towel covers it. This will stop the hamster and hold it in place while keeping it safe. Gently pick up the hamster and place it back in the cage. If you know where the hamster is, you can try to lure it into a tube with one closed end. Place the tube close to the hamster and place some food into the tube. When the hamster is inside, cover the opening and gently lift the tube. Place the hamster back into its cage.

Place the masa harina and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together until evenly combined.  Masa harina is finely ground corn flour typically used for corn tortillas. If you can't find masa harina, consider grinding 8 to 12 stale corn tortillas in a food processor until they form a fine powder.  If you have a corn allergy, you could use all-purpose wheat flour instead of the masa harina. The taste won't be quite as authentic, but the dough should still hold together correctly. Add water by the 1/2 cup (125 ml), mixing well after each addition. Continue adding water until a smooth, cohesive dough forms.  Mixing the dough with your hands will be easiest, but if desired, you could opt to use a wooden spoon or a low-speed stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Mixing the dough should take roughly 3 to 5 minutes. After the dough holds its form, however, you don't need to knead it any further. Pinch the dough into 12 evenly sized pieces. Roll each piece between your hands to form balls.  Each ball of dough should be between 1-1/2 and 2 inches (3.75 and 5 cm) in diameter. Line up the balls of dough on a lightly floured counter or sheet of parchment paper. Using your fingers, carefully flatten each ball of dough until it forms a patty approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.25 cm) thick and 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.  You could use a tortilla press to flatten the balls of dough if one is available. Place the dough in between two sheets of plastic bag material, then set the covered dough over the center of the tortilla press. Close the press gently, flattening the dough to the indicated dimensions. Cover the finished dough patties with a clean, slightly damp kitchen towel to prevent the dough from drying out as you work.

Place the milk or cream in a small saucepan and set it on a burner. Turn the burner to medium heat and allow the milk or cream to warm. Do not let it come to a boil; warm it just until you see steam rising from the saucepan. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are well beaten. Whisk in the sugar, flour and salt until they are fully combined with the yolks. Slowly pour the warmed milk or cream into the egg mixture with one hand, while whisking constantly with the other. When you've finished pouring the milk or cream in, transfer the whole mixture back to the small saucepan. Place the saucepan back on the stove.  This process tempers the eggs and prevents them from getting cooked by the warm milk. If you can't use one hand to pour and one to whisk, it's fine to switch back and forth until the milk has been poured out. As the pastry cream slowly heats, keep whisking it constantly to remove any lumps and prevent it from burning or sticking to the pan. As you whisk the pastry cream, it will begin to thicken. It will take on a heavy cream-like texture, then begin to look custard-like. When this occurs, take the pastry cream off the burner and stir in the vanilla extract.  Continue whisking constantly, until you can see drag marks when you pull the whisk through the pastry cream. Another way to check to see if the pastry cream is finished cooking is to stop whisking for a second and look for bubbles popping. If you see a few large bubbles rise to the surface and pop, it's time to remove the pastry cream from the heat. Place a strainer over a large bowl and pour the pastry cream from the saucepan through the strainer. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to help push the pastry cream through the strainer into the bowl. Cover the bowl of pastry cream and place it in the refrigerator to cool. It's ready to use when it has completely cooled. To keep a skin from forming over the cream, place the plastic wrap directly on the surface of the cream.

Place the mug in the microwave, and cover it with the microwave safe lid. Then, close the door and microwave the egg for one minute on high. Open the microwave door and remove the carefully lid. The egg white should be firm, but the yolk should still be runny. If the egg white still appears runny even after 1 minute, close the microwave door and add 15 seconds. Check the egg again, ensuring the egg white is not runny. Now that the egg is done, remove the lid carefully, and remove the mug from the microwave. Use a slotted spoon to gently place the egg on a plate or in a bowl. Add a dash of salt and pepper to your perfectly poached egg. Serve as desired.

Place the nachos in the oven on the center rack and heat until the cheese is melted and perfectly gooey. Keep an eye on the nachos as they heat up to prevent them from getting too done.  Switch the oven light on so that you'll be able to tell exactly when your nachos are ready. Be sure to remove the nachos before the chips begin to brown around the edges. The nachos will be piping hot when they first come out of the oven, so give them a minute or two to cool. Afterwards, you can add your choice of fresh and non-heatable ingredients. Spoon on a dollop of sour cream, guacamole or salsa, then use a few sprigs of chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lime to provide the finishing touches.  Add your fresh toppings just before serving the nachos. If allowed to sit for too long, they may get soggy. Ingredients like sour cream and guacamole don't do well when heated. If you prefer your nachos to have a little heat to them, feel free to include a few bonus add-ons like fresh jalapeños, roasted poblanos or cayenne. You can also add a dash of hot sauce or chipotle pepper for a subtle smoky finish. Leave the spicy toppings on the side to take it easy on eaters with milder tastes.

Place the piano a shady spot in your home in room temperature and low humidity. Putting the piano in a sunny spot can end up causing the keys to swell up and lead to yellowing of the keys over time. If the piano is not used often and you want to protect the keys from damage, you can get a long key cover to go over the keys or put down the key cover on the piano. Keep the keys covered until the piano is to be played. Air fresheners, furniture polish, and other aerosol products can damage the ivory keys and cause them to yellow over time. Keep these products away from the piano and do not spray the keys with these products.

Place the sausage links in a deep, medium skillet. Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water into the skillet, as well.   The water level should not be high enough to completely cover the sausages. While you can technically cook any type of breakfast sausage using this method, it's best to use it for skinless or "fresh" links. This method may not be as effective for links with skin or sausage patties. Place the skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Simmer the sausage for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the water evaporates.  Continue cooking as long as it takes for the water to naturally evaporate. Do not drain off any of the water. Similarly, do not add more water if it evaporates faster than anticipated. Do not cover the pan since doing so may slow or prevent the steam from escaping, slowing the overall cooking process as a result. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the sausages uncovered for another 6 to 7 minutes, or until they're cooked through.  Use tongs to periodically turn the sausage links as they cook. Doing so should promote even browning on all sides. Note that you should not add any extra oil or fat during the frying part of this process. The fat rendered from the sausages should be enough to cook them. When ready, the sausages should be brown throughout and the juices should run clear. If you check the internal temperature, the center of the thickest sausage should be a minimum of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius). Remove the sausages from the skillet and set them onto several layers of paper towel to drain. After 1 or 2 minutes, transfer the sausages to individual serving plates and enjoy. Any cooked sausages you don't use immediately should be refrigerated for 1 or 2 days, or frozen for up to 30 days.

Place the softened butter into a mixer, then blend it until it turns smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract, then blend it for a few more seconds to mix it in. You can do this with an electric mixer or a food processor fitted with whisks. Add 3 to 4 cups (345 to 403 grams) of sugar and 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of whole milk. Blend everything together using a medium speed setting. Pour in the rest of the sugar and the milk. Blend everything together using a medium speed setting for 3 to 4 minutes. Finish off by beating on slow for 1 to 2 minutes. This will make your frosting even smoother and remove air bubbles. Keep half of the frosting in the mixer to use as your filling and crumb coat. Divide the rest of the frosting between 3 bowls. Add 2 to 3 drops of green, brown, and beige gel food coloring into the 3 small bowls; use one color for each bowl. Stir the food coloring into each bowl using a separate spoon so as not to mix colors. Leave the bigger bowl of white frosting plain. If the colors are not dark or bright enough, add more food coloring. Cut the tips off of 3 piping bags, then insert a round decorating tip into each one. Place the bags into cups to keep them steady, then fill each one with its own color of frosting.  Leave the white frosting in its own bowl. If you plan on using the frosting to make other designs, use a coupler so that you can switch the tips out.

Place the t-shirt or fabric on a hard, flat surface, and smooth out the shirt with the iron if the shirt happens to be wrinkly. The surface you're ironing on should be heat resistant (unlike an ironing board) and should be large enough to be able to iron the entire area of the transfer. Trim around the transfer image so you know exactly what shape the image is, making it easier to accurately place it and position it on the fabric. You'll want to cut and stay as close to the edge of your design as possible. This will help make your transfer on image appear seamless.  If you're planning to iron on your transfer to a light colored fabric, you need to wait to peel the backing off of the transfer image until after it has been ironed on. If you're planning on ironing your transfer onto a dark fabric, the backing of the transfer is going to be peeled off before you iron on the design. When in doubt, look at the instructions that come with the package of transfer paper. Place a piece of cardboard or a folded up brown paper bag inside the shirt directly underneath where the transfer image will be ironed on. Putting a barrier between the two pieces of fabric stops the heat of the iron from transferring the image onto both sides of the t-shirt. Place the transfer image-side down on the fabric. Put the transfer on the fabric precisely where you want the image to be. Ironing on transfer images differs from normal ironing with an ironing board. Iron on transfers need a lot of direct heat, meaning using an ironing board wouldn't really be efficient since ironing boards help to spread out and diffuse heat. Ironing on hard surface like Formica or a wooden cutting board would be especially useful for doing iron on transfers because they are good at retaining heat. Set your iron to the hottest setting so it can transfer onto the fabric properly, but do not use steam. Steam can greatly hinder the transfer's ability to adhere to the fabric. Iron the image by moving the iron around in large circles on top of the transfer paper....

Place the truffle on a paper towel, and pat it dry with another paper towel. This is very important, as any moisture will float on top of the oil. If you are using a dried truffle, then you can skip this step. Chop a small piece off of a truffle, then cut or shave it until you have enough to fill 1 teaspoon. Fresh truffle will give you the best flavor, but you can use dried or brined instead.  Dried truffle is more potent than brined or fresh truffle. You only need 1/2 teaspoon of dried truffle. How small you cut the pieces is up to you, but the smaller you cut them, the more potent the oil will be. Pour 1 cup (240 mL) of high-quality olive oil into a small saucepan. Set the saucepan onto the stove, then turn the heat up to low or medium-low. Allow the oil to heat to 356 °F (180 °C). Use a cooking thermometer to keep track of the temperature. Pour 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh or brined truffles into the olive oil. Give the mixture a stir, then allow it to cook for 5 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the temperature at 356 °F (180 °C). After 5 minutes of cooking, take the saucepan off of the stove and set it aside so that the oil can cool. Once the oil has cooled to room temperature, pour it into a clean, sterilized bottle. Close the bottle tightly with a screw-on lid; don't use a cork.  You do not need to strain the truffle pieces out, but you can if you want to. Leaving them in the oil will allow them to continue releasing their flavor and aroma. To strain the truffles out, put a funnel lined with cheesecloth into a new bottle. Pour the oil through the funnel into the bottle, then toss any truffles caught in the cloth. A cool cabinet or a refrigerator will work the best. This type of oil has a much longer shelf-life than cold-process oil; it should last about 3 months.

Place the turkey on its back with its legs facing you.  Draw some kitchen twine from the top, or neck end of the turkey, under the back until it meets the wings.  Pull the twine up over the outside of the wings, crossing it over the bend in each wing. Pull the ends of the twine toward each other and against the  wings so they hug the body of the turkey.  Pull the ends of the twine down along the breast of the bird and cross the strings under the rib cage on the inside of the leg joint. Pull the ends of the string tightly until you feel the wings are secure. Move both ends of the twine around the feet of the turkey so they are under the legs, but over the tail.  Cross the twine under the legs, then move the ends around the back of the turkey at the tail.  You may have to lift the bird a little to get underneath it.  Cross the ends of the twine again.  Pull the ends until they are secure. Cross the ankles of the turkey one over the other.  Draw your twine up to the legs.  While holding the ankles in place,  cross the twine over the ankles.  Wrap it around the bottom of the ankles crossing the ends again.  Bring the twine back to the top of the ankles and cross them again to create a knot.  Tie a knot in the twine and trim the ends if necessary. This is the most common and traditional way to truss a turkey and will result in a compact shape suitable for the main course centerpiece for your dinner.

Place two exercise mats side by side or use a carpeted area. Take three hula hoops and place them down side by side against a wall. In the middle hula hoop, draw two large hands. These can be rough, one large circle and three small circles. The hands will act as a marker for the person learning to cartwheel. Her back leg should be inside the first hula hoop. She should now be in a lunge with her back foot in the first hula hoop and her front foot outside of the hula hoop, about an inch away from the second hula hoop. Tell her to look at the hands in the second hula hoop and imagine placing her hands in the drawn hands as she comes into a handstand against the wall. Her hands should be on the drawn hands in the second hula hoop. Her body should be against the wall in a handstand position. Then, place your hands on her hips and help her rotate so her legs land in the third hula hoop in a lunge position. Her leading foot should now be behind her in the third hula hoop and her front leg should be just outside the third hula hoop. Once she becomes comfortable going upside down and using the right hand placement, have her try a cartwheel.  Instruct her to get into the lunge position again, with her lead foot outside the front hula hoop and her back foot inside the hula hoop. Make sure she raises her arms over her head and puts weight into her front leg. Have her aim for the drawn hands in the second hula hoop as she rotates over into a cartwheel. Check that she finishes the cartwheel in the lunge position, with her lead foot behind her and her arms in the air.

Place various buttons over your notebook's cover, and pick your placement based on where the buttons look good to you. Use a hot glue gun to dab a bit of melted glue onto your button, and stick your button onto your notebook. Add a few buttons or glue on a bunch! Apply some Mod Podge or liquid glue to your notebook. Dust glitter on top of the glue to apply it. Then, turn your notebook over and dump away any remaining glitter.  You can put glitter on large surfaces, like the entire cover, or in small areas, like around your name. When you are dumping extra glitter, stand over a piece of paper or newspaper, and try to reuse the extras if you can. If not, dump your extra glitter into a trash can. This should take 3-5 minutes to dry fully. If your glitter keeps falling off, add a top layer of liquid glue or Mod Podge to seal it. Apply another layer of adhesive once the first layer is fully dry, after about 3-5 minutes. Nail polish can be used in place of paint to add details to your notebook. Use your polish and paint your notebook, like you would with a brush and acrylic paint. You can create things like lines, dots, or squares.  You can create a border around your name or the edge of your journal by drawing a line with your polish's brush. You can add polka dots to your cover by dabbing dots of polish around your notebook. Try drawing multiple lines to create stripes. You can make them straight, curvy, or zig-zag. Also, try using  a few different nail polish colors to make the cover stand out. Cut out shapes like letters, circles, squares, or triangles. Then, using a glue stick or your glue gun, apply the felt pieces onto your notebook.  Trace shapes onto your felt using stencils and a pencil, if that helps you. You can also create a cover out of felt, if you'd like.

Place your hands together to form a cup, and use both hands to scoop up the mouse. For bigger mice, you can lift them by placing 1 hand under the chest and using the other hand to support the hind legs.  Remember you are much bigger than the mouse and an untrained mouse will be frightened of you. Be gentle and calm when interacting with mice. Alternatively, you can train your mouse to crawl into your hand. Use treats to coax them into your palm. However, if this is your first time, it may take a while before your mouse trusts you enough to eat off of your hand. Take the mouse by the scruff of its neck and turn it on its back. If it doesn't seem comfortable, hold the mouse in your hand with its rear end facing you. Lift the base of the tail so that you can clearly see the genitals.  It's important to lift the mouse at the base of its tail and never to have all of its feet in the air. Have at least the mouse's two front legs touching a surface, such as a cage or your hand. If you hold the mouse by its tail and let it hang, you risk the chance of breaking its tail or even snapping its back. You don't want to harm the mouse or cause it any pain. Pinkies, or newborn mice, can get cold very fast. Only handle them for brief periods of time. They are also extremely fragile so avoid lifting them by the tail. The anus is the opening directly under the tail. Depending on the age of the mouse, it can be quite obvious or too difficult to sex. Young mice, especially newborn pinkies that have no fur, are very difficult to sex and the anogenital distances between sexes can almost look the same, so don't feel silly if you sex them incorrectly. It just takes some practice! It is helpful to compare multiple mice of the same age side-by-side until you are able to see a difference in distances. A female mouse has a genital area that is much closer to the anus. The vagina is usually within about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) on an adult mouse. Females have a vaginal orifice behind the urethra which may appear to look like a bump.  A male...

Place your tiles within the grid you have created. This dry-run allows you to identify areas where you will need to cut tiles to fit and will help you determine the best place to start laying the tile based on your pattern and the shape of the area you plan to tile. If the gap between the last complete tile and the wall is less than 2 inches (5 cm) then you should move the center tile over. This makes the strip of tile in this area wider, which will look nicer when you lay your tiles. Be sure to wear heavy-duty work gloves and work one section of the floor at a time. The adhesive should be thick enough that you can use the notched edge of the trowel to make grooves in the adhesive without showing the floor below, but thin enough that it does not push up between the tiles.  The grooves ensure that the adhesive spreads evenly on the back of the tiles. Choose the adhesive recommended for your type of marble. Ask at the location where you purchase your tiles about the proper adhesive to use. Lay the tiles on top of the adhesive within 10 minutes of applying the adhesive. Be careful not to slide the tiles into place or get adhesive on the top of the tiles.  Sliding the tiles into place will push up the adhesive and make the tiles uneven, causing them to crack. Adhesive will be difficult to remove from the tops of the tiles. Use spacers to create the correct spacing between the tiles and keep them even with straight lines along the rows and columns. You should use 1/8 inch (3 mm) marble tile spacers. Spacers help ensure proper placement of the tiles. Check the level of the tiles to ensure that no edge “lips”, or rises above the rest of the tiles. Take a length of wood and lay it across the tops of the marble tiles, using a hammer to lightly tap the wood down. This ensures that all the tiles are at the same level. Use the piece of wood in both directions along the grid to make all the tiles exactly the same level. Place another tile against the wall so that the edge of the second tile lays on top of the first tile....

Lay telhas de mármore firmemente no adesivo-set fino. * Espaçadores ajudar a garantir a colocação correta das telhas. Verifique o nível das telhas. Medir a dimensão de todas as peças necessárias parciais colocando um azulejo por cima da telha completa mais próxima da parede. Use uma serra molhada para cortar as peças para encaixar nas bordas ao longo das paredes ou espaços especiais. Remova qualquer excesso de adesivo entre as telhas. Deixe as telhas imperturbável 24-48 horas para permitir a cola secar completamente.


Place ½ cup (100 grams) of solid coconut oil into a mixing bowl. Whip it on high for 6 to 9 minutes with a stick blender until it turns light and fluffy. This will help make the lotion cool and soothing. Make sure that you are using plain, 100% aloe vera gel, without too many added ingredients. Some preservatives are fine, but avoid carrageenan, fragrance oils, parabens, polysorbate 20, and retinyl palmitate. You can use all one fragrance, or you can combine a few different ones to create your own, unique scent! If you want to make the lotion even more cooling, try basil, eucalyptus, lemon, lemongrass, or peppermint. Peppermint oil is very potent. Start with just a few drops, then add more if desired. You can use a whisk or fork to do this, but don't overdo it, or the coconut oil will soften too much and lose its "fluff." You just want the aloe very gel to be mixed in evenly with the coconut oil, with no streaks or swirls. You can use one 8-ounce (240-milliliter) jar or two 4-ounce (120-milliliter) jars. Store the jars at room temperature. If the lotion starts to get soft, put it into the fridge.

Places like pharmacies and photography studies will take passport photos for you. You will need 4 copies of your photo if you're applying for a passport on paper. Typically, they'll charge you a small fee for your photo. You can take the photo yourself, but you can't use a webcam, and you can't take a selfie. Have someone take the photo for you in good lighting that doesn't create shadows on your face.  If you don't have anyone to take the photo, set the camera on surface and use the timer to take your own photo. You can't hold the camera in your hand and take a photo of yourself. The picture should include your face and chest. Have the photographer center your face in the middle of the photo or center it yourself if you're taking the photo. The photo will be cropped by the passport clerk. The background should be cream, white, or light grey. It should be completely plain, without any details like doors or plants that make it stand out. Stand up against the wall so you don't have a shadow behind your head. Keep a neutral expression when the photo is taken. Don't smile or frown, and keep your mouth closed for the picture. Also, make sure your hair doesn't cover your eyes at all.  You can wear glasses in the photo. However, check the photo for glare to ensure you can see your eyes clearly. You can't wear sunglasses or tinted glasses unless they're prescription. Also, you can't wear a hat or head covering unless it's for religious purposes. Keep your eyes open for the picture and look directly at the camera. When printing your photograph, make sure it's between 35 by 45 millimetres (1.4 in × 1.8 in) and 38 by 50 millimetres (1.5 in × 2.0 in). Your face should take up between 70% and 80% of the picture, so crop it if you need to.  You can print the photo in black and white because it will be printed in black and white on your application. If you're printing the photo at home, make sure to use photo paper.

Placing the student near the teacher will help eliminate any distractions and allow the child to focus on their work.  Sitting next to extremely talkative children or a noisy hallway may make it more difficult for them to concentrate. This will also make it easier for the teacher  to provide extra instruction of necessary. Tape recorders can help students overcome reading difficulties.  The student can replay instructions and concepts for clarification or reinforcement.  If recordings are made available before class, the student can read along as he or she listens to the tape. Again, since dyslexic children struggle with short-term memory, providing them with some sort of outline as you are lecturing is helpful, especially following long lectures. This well help the child follow along with the lesson, take better notes, and know what to expect. .  Use visual cues, such as asterisks and bullets, to highlight important directives or information. Write homework instructions directly on the assignment so the child knows what is expected. It is also beneficial to allow use of reference guides such as alphabet and numbers Because children with dyslexia learn differently, the usual test taking formats may not allow them to demonstrate what they have learned.  Children may benefit from oral testing or untimed tests.  During an oral test, the test questions are read to the student and the student answers the questions orally.  The test questions can be pre-recorded or read at the time of the test.  The student’s answers could also be recorded for easier grading. Students with dyslexia often have trouble working under pressure and take longer to read questions.  Allowing the student ample time to take a test will ensure that student has time to understand the questions, think, and write down an answer. Seeing all of the test questions at once can be overwhelming.  Only allowing the student view one test question at a time will help them focus. Students with dyslexia need more time to copy information from the board,...

Placing the tree in full sun might cause the leaves to burn. To avoid this problem, put the plant in front of a north-facing window and near either a west- or-east-facing window. Your tree shouldn’t be too close to a south-facing window. If the colors on the leaves begin to fade, your plant isn’t getting quite enough light. If this happens, move it in front of the east- or west-facing window and keep an eye on the leaves. Burnt leaves will appear brown and dry on the tips. While this tree appreciates moisture, it can develop root rot if the soil becomes too wet. Fill a houseplant container that’s double the size of your root ball halfway with potting soil that drains well. Center the tree in the container, then fill the rest of the pot with the soil. Use distilled water to thoroughly moisten the roots. You may have bought your plant in a container from the nursery. You can leave it in there until it’s ready to be repotted! Stick your finger in the soil. If the surface and several inches (or centimeters) of soil feel dry to the touch, water the plant with distilled water until the soil completely re-moistens. Keep an eye on the soil to prepare for the plant’s next watering.  Luckily, the leaves will tell you if you’re over or underwatering! If the leaves are falling off and turning yellow, you probably need more water. If they’re only yellowing at the tips, it’s more likely that you’re overwatering. When the leaves towards the bottom of the shoots brown or fall off, this is natural. It’s just the old leaves making way for new ones! If you prefer to keep your home warmer, these trees will also thrive in indoor temperatures up to about 80 °F (27 °C). When the weather begins to cool down outside, reduce the temperature in your home or the plant’s room by a few degrees. This will give it a rest period. Don’t dip the temperature below 65 °F (18 °C), however. The Madagascar dragon tree is prone to a few different insect infestations, including the glasshouse red spider mite, thrips, and scale insects. If you keep...

Plagiarizing information, or taking someone else’s writing or information without giving them credit for it, will likely result in (at best) failing the assignment or (at worst) facing disciplinary action and/or failing the course.  Always cite any material that does not come out of your own head.  This means that much of your work will be cited from other places. Some information that is considered common knowledge, like facts that are found in many different sources such as dates of birth scientific names, do not need to be cited. However, when in doubt, cite it out! Primary sources are sources that come directly from a person.  Original writing, interviews, and the first time scientific studies are published all count as primary sources.  Secondary sources are sources that write about or analyze the primary sources. Your instructor may specify that you need to include primary as well as secondary sources.  Some projects, however, may not require primary source data. Not all sources are equal in the world of education.  The easiest way to find high-quality sources is to search through your library database.  If you cannot do that and you need to evaluate the source yourself, ask yourself the following questions:  Who published the source? What seems to be the goal of the publication? Is the source objective or academic? If an organization produced the source, is it a nonpartisan and fair organization? If an individual wrote the source, do they have any credentials listed? Some sources to avoid include: blogs (which are almost entirely opinion-based), sites that are trying to sell you something, sites with excessive (and obnoxious) advertisements, and sites from biased or questionable organizations. Sources that tend to be better include: government sources, peer-reviewed academic journals, big-name newspaper articles (but not opinion sections or letters to the editor), national nonprofit organizations, university-affiliated sources, and scientific organizations. Some sources, particularly those printed in...

Plain boiled hot dogs taste great, but you might want to give yours a kick by adding some spices. Try adding half a teaspoon of salt if you like your hot dogs salty. In addition, pour in one or more of the following spices before you turn up the heat:  1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon Italian spice mix 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper Beer imparts a delicious sausage flavor to the hot dogs. It's the perfect way to add flavor if you're cooking up a batch of dogs to eat while watching sports or serving a roomful of adults who like the flavor of beer. Just add an entire beer to the water to replace a cup and a half of water. Bring it to a boil and cook the dogs as normal.  If you're up for an experiment, try different types of beer. For example, a pale ale will impart a very different taste than a darker beer. This method works for hot dogs of any kind, but tastes especially good with all-beef dogs. Tossing in a garlic clove or two while the water comes to a boil is a great way to add earthy flavor to your hot dogs. You don't even have to peel the garlic; just throw in a clove or two unpeeled. No matter how you cook your dogs, the best flavor comes afterward in the form of great condiments. Place your dogs in their buns and add your favorite toppings. Here are a few ideas:  Chili Shredded cheese Ketchup and mustard Chopped onions, raw or sauteed Sauteed mushrooms Pickle relish

Plan some “lag time” into your morning routine so that you are just a few minutes too late to be able to get to school on time.  Get dressed really slowly. Spill your breakfast on yourself so you have to change. Dress again… very slowly. Pretend you can’t find something that you really need, such as one of your shoes or your required gym shorts. Find them, finally, but take five or ten minutes to do so. Complain loudly about having a bad day; turn on the waterworks if necessary. If you are lucky, your parent might be sympathetic and let you stay home. Be aware that your lateness affects others, such as your parents, who need to get to work by a certain time. Know that you may be putting their jobs in jeopardy, and decide if missing school is worth it. Missing the school bus might be an accident, or it might be planned. Either way, missing the bus just might get you out of class if your parents leave for work early in the morning or if they don’t have time to drive you to school.  Get to the bus stop just after the bus usually leaves. You don’t want to be too obvious about planning to miss your ride. However, take a long time walking back home from the bus stop. If you are lucky, your parents won’t have time to take you to school by the time you get back home. If your parents aren’t home when you miss the bus, be sure to let them know after the point at which they might come get you and take you to school. Sound mildly disappointed about missing class so they don’t suspect you missed the bus on purpose. You could remark, for instance, that it's too bad you are missing the really cool experiment you were supposed to try in science class. If a parent is still home after you miss the bus, they might offer to drive you to school on their way to work. Make a big deal about how you don’t want them to be late to work. Tell them that you are prepared to deal with the consequences of being late, but that you don’t want your lateness to affect their routine. Don’t come on too strong, though. Your parents are likely well...

Plan things as you would for a small or large party depending on the number of guests (more than 20 to 25 is a large party). For a smaller gathering, begin planning about 3 to 4 weeks in advance. A larger bash requires starting at least 60 to 80 days in advance. Create a party checklist to keep you on track and organized:  Pick a date and venue. Make an invitation list, decide on a theme, and hire caterers and a DJ. Send invitations, plan the menu, and plan additional activities (e.g. games). Purchase decorations, collect RSVPs, and plan a fun activity to keep your friend occupied the day of the party. Clean the space and set-up food and decorations. Collaborate with your guests so they know this is a surprise party. Get in touch with someone who lives with or is close to the birthday boy or girl. Have them casually ask if they have any plans for their birthday. Without ruining the surprise, make sure they are not busy that day by telling them you will take them out for a small birthday lunch or dinner. Alternatively, plan on throwing the party a few days before or after their birthday. Tell them you are taking them to movie or concert, but in reality you are throwing them a party. In order to maintain the element of surprise, make sure your friend is distracted and out of the house the day of their party. Tell them you are busy, and will celebrate with them later. Arrange several friends to take the birthday boy or girl out for a nice lunch, to a movie, a sporting event, or for a spa day. Make sure they are nowhere near the party venue while you are setting-up and guests are arriving! Tell all guests to arrive 30 minutes or more before the birthday boy or girl. If possible, have them park their cars on another block, so your friend does not see them walking in.  Set the stage for the surprise by giving your guests noisemakers or confetti to throw as the birthday boy or girl walks in. You can also ask your guests to hide behind tables, chairs, couches, etc., and jump-out as your friend arrives. Have someone...

Plan to spend a day watching your yard to witness how active the squirrels are. Take mental notes of certain trees you see multiple squirrels pass through. Pick out one of the trees that you think will hold that house. To promote squirrel activity, choose a location that is 10 to 30 feet off the ground. The higher the house is, the more likely squirrels will occupy it. You will need two large nails to create a stable grip for the squirrel house. Use a secure and long ladder to reach the desired spot for the house. Have a partner around to spot you for safety measures. Drive the first nail into the tree with a hammer, but leave an inch exposed. Take the second nail and drive that about eight inches parallel to the first nail. Leave an inch of the second nail exposed. The squirrel house should fit in between the two nails. You will tighten the squirrel house to the tree by tightening a thick wire around the house and tree. Make sure you use strong wire that has tightening abilities. You could also tie the wire together and tighten with pliers, but this may prove dangerous at such a height. Go to a local hardware store and ask about thick gauged wired that can be tightened easily. They will have something that will work. Fit the squirrel house between the two nails previously inserted into the tree. The goal is to have the nails fit the house’s width in a snug manner. Then use the wire from the previous step to secure the squirrel house. Squirrels are easy to attract once you’ve provided a shelter for them. Squirrels enjoy the same foods that birds like. This is a reason why squirrels invade your bird-feeders. You could use bird food or any of the following:  Fruit (berries) Sunflower seeds Nuts Pet food

Plastic combs can be safely sanitized in either rubbing alcohol or apple cider vinegar. Fill a cup or bowl that's big enough to hold your comb with vinegar or rubbing alcohol. Let the comb soak for 10 minutes. Then, remove the brush or comb and rinse it out under running water. You only need to soak the head of a brush to disinfect it. Add a mixture of one part white vinegar to one part water to a bowl big enough to hold your brush's head. Then, soak the brush's head in the mixture for 20 minutes. Rinse the brush under running water when you're done. Brushes and combs should be air dried on a towel. Times will vary depending on the type of brush or comb. Some will take a few hours to dry while others may need to dry out overnight. Handles of brushes and combs also come into contact with a lot of germs. You should clean them as well during the disinfecting process. Cleaning depends on the material of your brush or comb, but you can swab down most surfaces with rubbing alcohol to wipe away any residue. You can then rub down the handles with a damp cloth. It may be best to avoid harsh cleaners, like rubbing alcohol, on wooden brushes.

Platonic guy friends don’t shy away from occasional smiles and eye contact. However, if a guy makes prolonged eye contact with you or flashes you lots of smiles throughout the day, he’s being far more intimate than most guys are around each other. If a guy likes you, he may be incredibly worried about what you’ll think of him. This can lead to a variety of nervous ticks or awkward gestures whenever he’s around you. Some signs to look out for include:  Sweaty palms Awkward laughs Flustered speech Nervous fidgeting If you think a guy is interested in you, watch him out of the corner of your eye. If you catch him sneaking glances at you often, there’s a good chance he’s attracted to you. If he looks away when you turn to face him, take it as a sign that he’s either extremely shy or incredibly nervous about whether or not you like him back. Guys may high-five, shake hands, or even roughhouse from time to time, but very few get more personable than that. As such, if a guy touches you more intimately than normal, he’s probably trying to kick your relationship up a notch or test how you react to his advances. Take particular note if he:  Brushes his hand against yours. Puts his hands on your shoulders. Gives you frequent hugs. Finds excuses to touch your hair. Not all guys are showy about their feelings, and some might even hold their emotions back until they know it’s safe. If you think a guy may be interested in you but he doesn’t seem to be dropping you any hints, look for things he does around you that he doesn’t do around other guys. For example, does he:  Avoid making eye contact with you? If so, he may have a crush on you but is simply too shy to ask you out. Act more protective toward you than other guys? If so, he may like you so much that he feels the need to defend your honor. Actively flirt with other people while you’re around? If so, he may be trying to make you jealous.

Play several games and try to score as high as possible, getting used to the game's speed and techniques. The flappy bird will move down quite quickly. It's crucial to get used to the way the game moves in order to play well. After a while, you'll discover that the game seems more predictable. For example, if you keep flying too high, try to fly lower next time. In other words, learn from your mistakes and make corrections each time. Try to tap just before you reach the top part of the bottom pipe. Your best bet for survival is to get as far into the width of the pipe so that when you tap again, it reduces the odds of you hitting the bottom of the top pipe. However, be attentive. Be sure to wait until the first possible second to tap, as you will then be less likely to hit the top of pipes or fly too high. However, not paying close attention and waiting too long will likely cause you to hit the pipe. Once you start getting at least a score of 10, get into a rhythm. Begin to memorize how the flappy bird flies at each tap; having or developing good spatial awareness is of great benefit here. Once you have a high score, don't stop. Try to beat your high score. Play against others––competing with your friends is a great motivation to do better.

Playing Baccarat is a lot like a super-sophisticated and classy version of betting on coin tosses. You're betting blind, essentially, deciding to put a sum of money on either the Banker hand or the Player hand before the cards have been dealt. It's part of what makes the game exciting, dramatic, and unpredictable. You can't really sway the cards with strategy, which makes the game popular among high-rollers. Practically-speaking, the odds favor the house but only slightly in an 8-deck shoe: 1.06% on the banker bet, 1.24% on the player bet. Often, casinos will provide players with a scorecard to keep track of their wins on particular hands. Since the game exists over many hands, learning to develop a strategy of betting and alternate between a pattern and breaking your own pattern is a good way to win money in the long haul.  Mark whether or not you bet Banker or Player and place a check mark next to your correct calls. Watch for patterns to develop. Follow them. Feel the board and the way the game seems to be swinging and place your bets accordingly. To maximize fun while minimizing your risk of losing big, bet the lowest possible sums of your money. Betting Baccarat is much more instinct than science. Traditional wisdom, especially in online Baccarat, suggests that you shouldn't break a run. In other words, if you're betting Player and the Player continues winning, don't start betting Banker. Stick with a strategy and bet consistently. If the pattern switches, switch. If you make a few hasty switches, try to stick it out. Learn to adapt to the flow of the game and stay in it for the long run. Baccarat isn't typically a game that people only play for a few hands and move elsewhere. Baccarat is typically a game played by big betters with particularly high table minimums, who'll play for several hours, letting lots of money change hands.  Often, the game is even roped off from the rest of the casino. Bring as much money as you can safely, comfortably afford to lose and plan on investing enough time and money...

Playing a movie based in Hawaii is a great way to set the mood for your event. Consider movies such as Blue Hawaii, 50 First Dates, or Blue Crush for adults, and Moana or Lilo and Stitch for children. Make a beach or Hawaiian-themed Bingo board for your guests. Use words associated with Hawaii, such as luau, hula, and island. Call out the terms and have your guests mark them down if they have them on their card. Choose a winner based on the first person to get a row or column, or even their entire board marked off. Get a CD of Hawaiian music or download Hawaiian .mp3s from the internet. For relaxing moods, you could play Kapena or Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Or, choose upbeat music like Three Plus or Ten Feet. Research local artists, such as Pepper and Jack Johnson. Another option is to hire Polynesian drummers or Hawaiian musicians for your party. Grass skirts are traditional Hawaiian apparel. You can make or buy the grass skirts ahead of time, or make them as a group activity. It would be extra fun if you can find someone who can teach you all a few hula moves. Play the music and dance the night away. The limbo is a fun activity for your Hawaiian party. Get a bamboo pole from your local hardware store to use as the pole and see how low you can go! Set aside a pretty lei for the winner, or award them with sunblock or a Hawaiian shirt. Get several hula hoops for your guests to use. Lay them out around the yard for people to use as they like. You could also hold a contest, such as seeing who can hula hoop the longest, or who can do the most loops in 2 minutes. If you have the space, and the budget, consider hiring fire dancers for your party. Hawaiian fire dancing is a tradition dating back to ancient times, originating after volcanoes erupted and spread lava over the islands. Hiring Hawaiian fire dancers will give your party an authentic island feel.

Playing any of the other balls before the spotted ball has been pocketed must be corrected by replacing all balls as they were before the shot. Pocketing any of the other balls before the spotted ball allows the opponent to choose any 2 of his own balls and pocket them by hand into his object pocket. Play passes to the other player. If you knock a ball off of the table, replace it in the dead center of the table, where it will be surrounded by bumpers. Play passes to the other player.

If a player scores the last ball into the object pocket of the opponent, the player loses the game.

Playing house or other types of fantasy play is very important for children's imaginations as well as their social, emotional, and language development. They will love nothing more than to have you enter into their little fantasy world. Pretending with kids is a great chance to let them take the initiative.  Mimic their activities occasionally. If a child picks up a stone and zooms it around like a car, pick up another rock and do the same. Chances are they will be delighted. The pretend play of 3-6-year-olds can be very elaborate, with its own roles and rules. When entering a child's pretend play, start by asking them what's going on: "What are we playing?", "Who are you in this game?" "What role should I play"? You will be amazed at how your child will direct you and allow you to join their fun game. Keep a "prop box" for pretend play in the house or classroom that is filled with empty boxes, old clothes and hats, purses, telephones, magazines, (non-breakable) cooking utensils and dishes, stuffed animals and dolls, fabric pieces or blankets and sheets (for fort-making), and other random items like postcards, old tickets, coins, etc. Coloring, drawing, and crafts are not only a great way to keep children entertained on a rainy day, but they also help develop children's fine motor skills, express themselves artistically, and help them see and explore the different properties of art materials like glue, paint, clay, watercolors, and markers.  For younger kids, try making finger puppets, pasta jewelry, or felt collages together. Older kids often enjoy more focused projects like magazine collages, making pottery, and making masks. Have an "art center" at home or in the classroom where you keep paper, markers, crayons, colored pencils, scissors, glue, and other art materials like felt, foam, pipe cleaners, tissue paper, etc. Make sure to keep the experience open-ended as much as possible: You provide the materials and let the child's imagination take it away! Try to join in the art-making whenever you can in...

Playing together can help your children bond at any age. The options for play are limitless! Try getting them to play a game, like tag, hide and seek, or even cards or a board game. For younger children, use toys that are age appropriate for the youngest child.  Very young siblings can play age-specific favorites, like peek-a-boo or patty cake. If siblings are reluctant to include one another, try scheduling "sibling time" and "me time" into their playtime. If your children have a battery-powered or pedal-powered car, let the younger sibling ride in the passenger side while the older sibling drives them around. Don’t forget to take advantage of this adorable photo op. Simple games can help children bond if they have different interests or abilities that can get in the way of quality bonding. Encourage your children to let their imaginations wander and create magical worlds together. Think about what your children like to do and find a way to get all siblings involved. Pretend scenarios can get those creative juices flowing while sparking some fun-fueled bonding.  For example, they can pretend to be posh kings and queens in a castle, or lions and monkeys in a dense, tropical jungle. Toddlers can also join in the pretend fun. An older sibling might pretend to be the doctor while the younger siblings are the patients. In a restaurant game, older siblings can serve heaping plates of plastic food to their younger “customers.” Get crafty to stimulate sibling bonding! You can adjust the crafts for each child based on their level of development, but they can use the same materials and complete the projects together. Craft projects are a great way for siblings to spend time together no matter their age, developmental stage, or ability.

Please be sure to provide many chew toys to help with this transitional period. Cow hooves can be found at many pet stores and are recommended. Stay away from pig ears and cheap rawhide, and "greenies," as these can cause severe diarrhea, bloat, and are a choking hazard. For instance, keep an eye out for diarrhea if you change your pup's food. If your bulldog develops diarrhea then stop all food for 12 hours. If it persists for more than 24 hours, contact your veterinarian immediately to prevent dehydration. Puppies can dehydrate very rapidly so you need to take it seriously when diarrhea occurs. Dogs can pick up some unwanted guests: ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and intestinal worms. Your dog can be the perfect host for these pests if regular treatment for these nasty pests is not given. Your veterinarian is the best source of knowledge for the local bugs that bug the local dog population and how to prevent these pests.  Heartworm is a widespread disease present spread by mosquitoes throughout most of the United States. A yearly blood test is taken to make sure the dog isn’t infected with this nasty parasite, then a monthly tablet or a shot which lasts for up to 6 months is used to kill any organisms present in the blood stream. There is a treatment for heartworm, but it is expensive and takes a toll physically on the dog and can take months to combat. Another vaccination to consider, especially if you live in an endemic area, is the Lyme’s disease vaccination. This is especially important for dogs that spend a lot of time outside, that live on farms, or that hunt, as they are at increased risk of contracting this tick borne disease. In addition to joint pain, swelling, and fevers, dogs can also get a generally fatal kidney disease as the consequence of contracting Lyme’s disease. Puppies will generally have a first veterinary visit at the age of six weeks by the person who has the mother dog. The veterinarian will examine the puppies to make sure there are no hernias, heart, lung, or eye or ear problems in...

Plex has a hard time reading VOB files, so you'll be better off using MakeMKV to remix them as MKV files. You won't lose any quality, but you will lose access to menus. Chapters will be preserved. Visit makemkv.com/ and click the "Download Make MKV for Windows" link to download the installer. You can leave all of the installation settings at their defaults. MakeMKV will not install any adware. You can start it from the installation wizard, or from the shortcut on your desktop. You'll find this in the upper-left corner of the MakeMKV window. It looks like an icon of a camcorder over a file. If you ripped the VOB files from a DVD, they'll typically be located in a VIDEO_TS folder. Navigate to this folder in the file browser so that you can see the contents. This is the master file for the VOB files, and tells the player which order to play them in. Selecting this file will allow MakeMKV to load all of the VOB files into the MKV file. For movies, this should be the full-length title. If the DVD had several TV episodes, you'll have to create a separate MKV for each episode, which actually makes selecting episodes easier in Plex. You can also select the audio and subtitle tracks you want to include. MKV supports multiple tracks of each. MakeMKV will create an MKV file based on the title and audio settings you selected. The time this takes will vary depending on the size of the VOB files. Plex can read and transcode MKV on the fly, so it should have no problem picking up your new MKV file. In most cases, Plex will automatically find the correct information for the video. See Set Up a Media Server Using Plex for details on adding media to your Plex server.

Plot out recurring times in your schedule when you can focus your energies on the specific tasks you need to accomplish.  Incorporate them into you existing daily routines (getting ready for work, lunchtime, etc.).  Just as your body tells you "this is lunchtime" around the time you normally eat, you will become more attuned to feeling that "this is productive time." Don't focus on needing to write the entire book or paint the whole house; focus on finishing a chapter or a room. The sense of accomplishment will help keep you going, and it provides a way to mark your progress towards the larger goal. Remember that time you had to finish a college term paper in one night?  When there is a clear time limit, you have no choice but to focus your energies and stick to the essentials of your goal.  If you're already on a deadline, set up mini-deadlines for components of the task. Try to be strict with yourself as it is easy to break self-created deadlines. Put your deadline up against an appointment you can't miss or just set an egg timer. "Work expands to fill the time" -- what sounds like old-fashioned wisdom can also be expressed by mathematical formulas, but the point of Parkinson's Law remains the same.  Basically, if you give yourself all day to accomplish a task, you'll find a way to take all day to do it (or overdo it, that is).  Figure out the minimum amount of time you need to do the job up to the necessary standard. Do all the routine-making and deadline-setting you can, but also realize that life will intervene and you will need to be able to adjust.  Don't let disruptions throw you completely off your rhythm.  See if you can find ways to take advantage of them, or at least brush them off. For example, if you're trying to finish up a presentation for tomorrow morning and the power goes out, recruit someone to help you practice the Q&A session that follows until power is restored. Or even use it to make a lame joke the next day about how a competitor tried to sabotage your clearly blackout-proof presentation.

Plug headphones into your seat and select radio stations, TV shows, or movies to watch or listen to. You can also watch the plane's movement on a map or other information about the flight and where you are.  Watch or listen to something at the same time as a friend or family member so you can talk about it with them later. Also check out the SkyMall catalog or any other materials in the seat pocket in front of you. Talk to others around you on the plane, whether you know them or not. Get to know people by asking where they're from, where they're going, what they're reading, or anything else you're curious about. Make sure to give people space and respect that they may not be in the mood to talk or may want to sleep, read, or do another activity on their own. Be respectful and polite when interacting with people you don't know. Walk back and forth in your cabin and even do some light stretching where there is room next to the lavatories, for example.  Be careful not to bump or disrupt other passengers when you're moving around, and don't go into restricted areas that you're not supposed to be in. Don't get out of your seat when the seatbelt signs are illuminated or the captain or attendants tell you to be seated. Obey all instructions from flight staff. Enjoy seeing the sights of the landscape you're flying over, and how different things like clouds, mountains, and fields look from above.  Play a game like seeing if you and friends or family can guess where you're flying over without looking at a map, or finding animal shapes in the clouds.  If you're not sitting in a window seat, you can get up and look out the window near a lavatory or other area on the plane with windows. Just make sure you don't get in the way of other people waiting or flight attendants who need to move through the area. Set a challenge for yourself that you have to complete before the plane lands at your destination. Compete with a friend or family member if you can! Some ideas for challenges could be:  Learn 5 names of people on the...

Plug in a clothes iron and let it warm up to a medium heat setting. Read the fabric’s label to ensure that the fabric is iron safe. If the fabric does not have a label, test the iron on a small, inconspicuous spot before applying the heat to a larger area. Iron the brown paper bag. The iron will begin to melt the wax and transfer it from the fabric to the paper bag.  A clean rag can be used in place of a paper bag; however, the wax is likely to remain on the cloth after washing. Be careful to use a paper bag without any writing. The ink from the print will transfer and stain the upholstery. If you use a paper bag from a store with a label, cut the label off of the bag before use. Move the paper bag and repeat the process until all of the wax has transferred from the upholstery to the bag. Use an upholstery or carpet cleaner to remove any residual stains after the wax is lifted. Spray the stain and let the cleaner sit for one minute. Then, carefully blot the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel. Repeat this process until the stain is gone.

Plug your ears, and make up random things that people are saying around you. You can be silly and random or try to make up a TV-like drama about what's going on in their lives. Use their body language cues and expressions to inspire your story. Think of the room you are in right now and then pretend that you're a spy that's just been spotted. Hurry! Think of a dozen ways to escape the room and avoid the baddies following you! Think about what other people in the room are thinking. You can make it random or try to be realistic. If you want, you can even make it a story, like you're a psychic mutant and you have to find an evil spy. Decide what superpowers everyone in the room would have. Try to be creative but keep the powers useful. Then, decide what their superhero names would be. Have an imaginary conversation with someone you love that has passed on. What would they say about where you are in life now? What would they say about what the afterlife is like? Imagine the world as it is now but with some vastly different change. For example, what would your life be like if you lived in a world where vampires ruled the different countries? What about if whales could talk?

Pneumonia can be caused when influenza is contracted and becomes advanced. Because of this, it is recommended that you get the flu shot every year. Since this helps fight against the flu, it will help fight against pneumonia as well.  The flu shot can be taken by anyone over the age of six months. There is a special vaccine that can be taken by children younger than two and also one for those two to five years old who are at increased risk of pneumonia. Children who go to communal day care should also get the vaccine.  There is also a vaccine for those without spleens, over the age of 65, with lung disease such as asthma and COPD, and with sickle cell anemia. If you want to avoid getting pneumonia, you need to avoid coming into contact with the viruses and germs that cause it. You can do this through proper hand washing. If you are in public or around someone you know is sick, you should wash your hands as much as possible. Also avoid putting your unclean hands near your face in order to prevent the spread of unwashed germs from your hands to your system. To wash your hands properly, you need to:  Turn on the faucet and wet your hands. Apply soap to your hands and scrub every part of your finger. This includes under the nails, on the backs of your hands, and between your fingers. Keep rubbing your hands for at least 20 seconds, which is how long it takes to sing the "Happy Birthday" song all the way through twice. Rinse your hands in the water to rinse off the soap. Make sure the water is warm to help remove the soap and germs. Dry them off with a clean towel. A great way to prevent contracting pneumonia is to be in the best overall health you can be. This means you need to stay in shape physically and mentally. Try to exercise every day, eat a healthy and well-balanced diet, and get enough sleep. These things all benefit your health and will keep your immune system in the best shape it can be, which will help you stay as healthy as possible. Many people think they can skimp off sleep and still be healthy....

Poaching fish is part of traditional French cooking, and the standard liquid used for poaching is court bouillon, a broth made with water, salt, vegetables and aromatic herbs. Court bouillon can be as simple as salted water with some white wine, but adding a few additional fresh ingredients is a great way to enhance the flavor of the fish. To make a simple court bouillon, put the following ingredients in a pot and simmer them for 30 minutes, then allow the mixture to cool:  1 gallon (3.8 L) of water 1/4 cup of Kosher salt 1 cup of white wine 1 white onion, peeled and roughly chopped 1 carrot, peeled and roughly chopped 1 sprig of thyme 2 sprigs tarragon 1 lemon, thinly sliced . Any type of fish may be poached. Since this cooking method defines and concentrates the flavor of the fish, choose one with a taste you love. It's important to select the freshest fish possible, since an extra hint of fishiness will cause the whole dish to taste off. Purchase fish from a source you trust, and look for fish with bright scales and firm, translucent flesh.  If you're poaching a whole fish, choose one with clear eyes and ask the fishmonger to gut and clean it if necessary. Rinse the fish to remove any impurities before cooking. If you're poaching fillets, use a knife to make several slash marks into the skin. This will prevent the fillets from curling up as they poach. Pour the court bouillon into a stockpot large enough to fit the fish and liquid (or a fish poacher, if you have access to this special equipment). You'll need enough liquid to cover the fish entirely, and a gallon should suffice. From here, the method differs slightly depending on whether you're poaching a whole fish or fillets:  For a whole fish, set the fish in the stockpot and pour the cooled court bouillon over the fish until it's entirely covered. Place it over medium heat to bring it to a simmer. For fish fillets, first pour the court bouillon into the stockpot and bring it to a simmer. Check its temperature with a thermometer; when it reaches 160 °F...

Point blank, people like people who like them. If you can show that you're genuinely interested in the person you're talking to and you're enthusiastic about what they have to say and just meeting them in general, you'll be set. You could practically start speaking gibberish and they wouldn't notice. How do you do this? Well, smile, make eye contact, and focus on them. Ask questions. Engage. None of it's rocket science and almost all of it is common sense (we'll get to the counter-intuitive stuff shortly). If you go in with positive, good intentions, you'll be set up for success. Because how else will you keep the conversation kicking? When engaged in a conversation with someone, be sure to ask them questions about themselves. People generally like to talk about themselves, so it is fairly easy to get people to like you by being a good listener and taking interest in what they are saying. They'll never notice they did most of the talking until it's too late! On the other hand, make sure you bring up some interesting things about yourself as well, to keep the conversation open and reciprocal. You want to ask open-ended questions (that can't be answer with a "yes" or "no") and show your commonalities and personality, too. So instead of, "I went to London, too!" You say, "You were just in London? Awesome! I was there last spring with my travel group. What all did you have the chance to see?" The easiest, quickest way to get someone to like you almost instantly is by complimenting them. We have all experienced that even the smallest of compliments can make our day. Just make sure you're genuine about it! Saying, "I, uh, like the shade of your teeth," isn't going to win you any fans.  Compliment them on what they are wearing ("What a beautiful dress you have; it really suits you.") or something that they've done ("Hey, that's a really clever way to tie your shoelaces, I'll have to try that next time!").  This works because naturally, it is hard to dislike someone who is saying nice things about you. This is a...

Polyatomic ions are simply ions that contain more than one type of element. These are distinct from ionic compounds, which are formed when positively charged ions bond with negatively charged ions. As with ions, there is a system for  naming ionic compounds. The naming system for polyatomic ions is quite complex, so you may want to start by memorizing the ones that you will need to recall most often.  Common polyatomic ions include bicarbonate ion (HCO3-), hydrogen sulfate ion or bisulfate ion (HSO4-), acetate ion (CH3CO2-), perchlorate ion (ClO4-), nitrate ion (NO3-), chlorate ion (ClO3-), nitrite ion (NO2-), chlorite ion (ClO2-), permanganate ion (MnO4-), hypochlorite ion (ClO-), cyanide ion (CN-), hydroxide ion (OH-), carbonate ion (CO32-), peroxide ion (O22-), sulfate ion (SO42-), chromate ion (CrO42-), sulfite ion (SO32-), dichromate ion (Cr2O72-), thiosulfate ion (S2O32-), hydrogen phosphate ion (HPO42-), phosphate ion (PO43-), arsenate ion (AsO43-), and borate ion (BO33-) The ammonium ion (NH4+), is the only positively charged polyatomic ion (or polyatomic cation). Although complex, there is a pattern to the naming system for negatively charged polyatomic ions (or polyatomic anions). Once you understand the pattern, you will be able to name any ion.  Use the -ite suffix to indicate a low oxidation state. For example, the NO2- ion is the nitrite ion. Use the -ate suffix to indicate a high oxidation state. For example, the NO3- ion is the nitrate ion. Use the hypo- prefix to indicate the very lowest oxidation state. For example, the ClO- ion is the hypochlorite ion. Use the per- prefix (as in hyper-) to indicate the very highest oxidation state. For example, the ClO4- ion is the perchlorate ion. Exceptions to the pattern include hydroxide (OH-), cyanide (CN-), and peroxide (O22-) ions, which have the -ide ending because they were once thought to be monatomic ions.

Poms are athletic little bundles of energy. A long daily walk will help him expend that energy. Poms love to play as well, but playtime is not a substitute for a walk.  In some dogs, not having a daily walk can lead to the development of behavioral problems.  Poms are very sensitive to heat, so do not take your Pom out on long walks when it is hot outside. Poms love to play, so you should engage in multiple, short playtimes with your Pom each day. If you have a backyard with some trees, your Pom will enjoy running around and chasing leaves. Fortunately, Poms do not need to go outside for playtime, so you can plenty of fun with him indoors. Poms have a moderate energy level, so do not push your Pom too hard to run and play. Since Poms can get bored very easily, you should give your Pom plenty of toys from which to choose. He will especially like toys that give him a mental challenge, such as puzzle toys. Rotate the toys out frequently.  Choose toys have that have different colors and textures to keep your Pom interested in playing with them.  Cozy stuffed toys can provide your Pom with comfort when you are not home.  If you have a puppy, purchase some teething toys that will keep him from chewing on your furniture or shoes.  Instead of buying new toys all of the time, you can try giving your Pom a different combination of the same toys. Poms are eager to learn new things. They also love to be the center of attention, so teaching your Pom new tricks will make him very happy! There are many tricks you can teach your Pom, like playing dead, grabbing paw, and playing fetch.  Poms tend to have short attention spans, so keep your training sessions short (5 to 10 minutes).  Get creative and have fun with teaching your Pom new tricks. Not only will this keep your Pom physically and mentally active, you will be able to strengthen your bond with him.

Poor cleaning techniques can cause a cast iron pan to rust. You should never soak it in water. Clean it immediately after using it with coarse salt to remove set in food. Unless the pan is very dirty, avoid washing it with soap and water. Dry the pan completely after washing. Make sure not to let your pan get wet. Never soak cast iron in the sink or put it in the dish washer. Cast iron will rust if you allow it to get wet. Store your pan away from water to prevent rust. Place a paper towel in the pan when you store. This will keep the pan free of dust, minimizing how often it needs cleaning.

Poor form can increase your risk of developing shin splints. As you run, don't strike your feet on the heel or toe. Instead, land on the center part of your foot. Additionally, slowly increase your speed and distance so that you don't push yourself too hard or compromise your form.Ask someone to watch or film you run for 5-10 minutes so you can easily check your form. Shin splints can be caused by running on pavement or concrete surfaces, since the shin bears the brunt of the impact.  Try running on dirt paths or grass instead of the road or the sidewalk. If you must run on the road, mix up your routine with biking, swimming and other cross training exercises so you aren't pounding the pavement every day. If your shoes are worn out, new shoes with more cushioning can help disperse stress on the shin. If you have an overpronation or over supination, buy shoes designed to help with this problem. Slowly increase your speed and distance, giving yourself plenty of time to adjust. Additionally, give yourself time to rest and recover between workouts. If you start to feel pain or discomfort, slow down or take a break.Listen to your body and don't push it farther than it's ready to go.

Pop the CD into your computer and go through the setup steps. If you bought the camera used, or for one reason or another, just don't seem to have the CD, you can probably find one on eBay. You might even be able to find it available for download on the camera manufacturer’s website. Most of the time, you'll hear a sound or something will pop-up if the camera is connected properly and working. With most camera software, as soon as you connect the camera to the computer, something will pop up asking if you would like to sync the pictures to the computer. After that it's pretty self-explanatory. If nothing pops up or it was never supposed to pop up in the first place, find and open the camera software. Now that the pictures should be safely on your hard drive, the software should have an option for you to delete the files on the camera.

Popcorn can be a healthy snack, but many prepackaged versions contain large amounts of added salt. Instead of movie theater butter or salted popcorn, choice plain microwavable bags. You can buy the plain kernels and pop them in an air popper for even fresher popcorn. If you want to add some flavor, consider sprinkling cinnamon over it for something sweet or adding a dash of garlic or seasoning salt. Nuts are a delicious, healthy snack and a common pantry item. However, many nuts are covered in salt. Replace your salted peanuts, almonds, and mixed nuts with unsalted varieties. You still get delicious flavor without all the unnecessary salt. Chips contain high levels of sodium. To cut salt from your pantry, find an alternative to potato and corn chips. Try finding a low-sodium cracker or try cucumbers and carrots for a crunchy snack instead. Look for a chip or cracker that contains less than 200 mg of sodium per serving.  Some brands carry reduced sodium or no salt added chips. Read the label and decide if the sodium content is low enough to be a healthy swap. If you are basing the sodium content on the serving size, make sure to eat one serving. Measure it out. It is easy to go over the serving size and eat too much sodium.
