To keep bikes from unnecessary weight, many stems (the connecting, L-shaped piece between your bars and bike) do not have a lot of excess room. If you want to make a larger change to your handlebar height, you will need to purchase a new stem from your local bike shop. If you have serious comfort issues, such as reaching too far or not far enough to your bars, you should consider a longer or shorter stem. Threadless headsets have one big bolt on the top and two smaller bolts that help clamp the stem down. If your bike only has one continuous piece of metal connecting the bike to the bars then you have a threaded headset. Let your body be the best judge of where you need the handlebars. Your back shouldn't be hunched or bent and your arms should be slightly bent at the elbows. Otherwise, ride how you feel comfortable. Have a friend hold the bike in place by gripping the front wheel between their thighs as you climb into the seat to test the handlebars. Generally, regardless of mountain or road biking:  Racing riders have low handlebars so they can crouch aerodynamically. They are usually below the seat 2-4". Comfort riders or beginners will have handlebars level with the seat or higher. Take an Allen key and remove the bolt on the stem cap. This bolt keeps the handlebars on the bike, and you need to remove it to raise or lower your bars. Remove the long bolt and take off the cap, then set them both aside safely for later. Use an Allen Key to loosen the two side screws on your handlebars. They will be on the part of the stem closest to your seat. Loosen them enough so that you pull the handlebars and stem off the tube in the frame. Slowly remove the handlebars, taking care not to stress or bend any of the wires attached to the brakes and derailleurs. These usually have a little bit of extra slack, but to be safe you should roll the bike up to a table or chair and place the handlebars down carefully, close to the bike. These spacers are all you have to adjust the height on threadless headsets. They are small...

To keep the catheter clean, you first need to keep your genital area clean. Make sure to shower daily, using a mild soap and warm water to cleanse your urinary opening. Using the same gentle cleanser, rinse the part of the catheter where it enters your body every day. When rinsing the catheter, make sure to hold it gently against your body. This will ensure you don't put unnecessary tension on the catheter. Thoroughly wash your hands before and after handling your drainage bag. Rinse the bag with warm water and cleanse with a gentle soap. Gently dry the bag with a clean towel before you reattach it to your leg.  Often times, if self catheterization, a drainage bag is not used.  It is done several times per day just as one would need to use the bathroom throughout the day.  If a drainage bag is used, this type of catheter would most likely be called an indwelling catheter that uses an inflated balloon filled with syringe to hold the catheter within the bladder and is attached to a drainage bag which will need to be emptied as it is filled throughout the day. If you don't keep your catheter clean, you might be exposing yourself to infections of your urinary tract. Make sure to always wash your hands thoroughly before and after touching the catheter. Always make sure to be very thorough when cleaning your genital area.  This procedure in general increases the risk for infection. It is always best to urinate naturally whenever possible. Signs of infection can include foul odor from urine, fever, discharge or confusion.  Most often a change in mental status (confusion) is noted in the older population and is a common sign of possible infection.

To keep the passion going, focus solely on your partner, your kiss, and their touch. If your mind drifts off to other things, bring your attention back to the feeling of their lips on yours or their arm around your back. This way, your concentration is on a juicy, passionate kiss. If you start daydreaming during the makeout session, your partner will likely notice your lack of passion. If you start to lose passion, vary your type of kiss. Keeping things interesting ensures both you and your partner are into the kiss for as long as possible. For instance, if you have been French kissing for a while, go back to sweet, gentle pecks to give your partner a break. Then, try gently nibbling on their lower lip.  You want to prolong the magic as long as possible to enjoy a long, deep kiss. You can also try twirling your tongue around your partner’s as an alternative to French kissing. If your partner pulls away, say something flirty like, “I’m not done,” or “I want more kisses.” Do this flirtatiously and gently to be suggestive, rather than pushy. Then, kiss them again!  For an extra sexy touch, try biting your bottom lip as you do this. This is a great way to tease your partner. If your partner seems tired or uncomfortable, they may actually be finished with the make-out session. To prolong the kiss, notice what your partner is most enjoying. For instance, maybe your partner really likes when you use your tongue. Then, continue using these techniques to achieve a long, passionate kiss. For example, if your partner moans slightly or pulls you closer, they are enjoying themselves. The best kisses are like meditation, where you don’t pay attention to anything else and can get in a state of flow. Don’t think too much about the kissing overall, but instead just do what feels right. If you overthink the kiss, it can feel forced and stiff rather than passionate and sexy. When you are ready to end the kiss, start kissing your partner softly rather than with much pressure and force. Space out your kisses longer, and go from a...

To keep your data in good order and to help with the calculations, it is helpful to create a three-column table. Label the first column x{\displaystyle x}. Label  the second column x−μ{\displaystyle x-\mu }. Label the third column |x−μ|{\displaystyle |x-\mu |}. Fill the first column with the data points for your calculation. In the second column, which you have labeled x−μ{\displaystyle x-\mu }, you will report the deviation or difference between each data point and the mean of the set. Find this value simply by subtracting the mean from each data value.  For the sample data set, these deviations will be:  6−9=−3{\displaystyle 6-9=-3} 7−9=−2{\displaystyle 7-9=-2} 10−9=1{\displaystyle 10-9=1} 12−9=3{\displaystyle 12-9=3} 13−9=4{\displaystyle 13-9=4} 4−9=−5{\displaystyle 4-9=-5} 8−9=−1{\displaystyle 8-9=-1} 12−9=3{\displaystyle 12-9=3}   To check the validity of your calculations, the sum of the values in this deviation column should be 0. If you add them up and get something other than 0, then either your mean is incorrect or you made an error in calculating one or more of the deviations. Go back and check your work. When you calculate the deviation of each data point from the mean, you are concerned only with the size of the difference, and not whether the difference is positive or negative. What you really need, then, in mathematical terminology, is the absolute value of the difference. Absolute value is designated symbolically with the vertical bars |  |.  Absolute value is a mathematical tool used to measure distance or size, regardless of direction. To find absolute value, just drop the negative sign from each number in the second column. Thus, fill the third column with the absolute values as follows: x.....(x−μ).....|(x−μ)|{\displaystyle x.....(x-\mu ).....|(x-\mu )|} 6..........−3..........3{\displaystyle 6..........-3..........3} 7..........−2..........2{\displaystyle 7..........-2..........2} 10..........1..........1{\displaystyle 10..........1..........1} 12..........3..........3{\displaystyle...

To keep your skin looking its best, you should wash your face in the morning when you get up, and in the evening before you go to bed. Use a facial cleanser (not regular soap) and gentle, circular motions. Never scrub your skin, as this can damage it. When you are done, splash your face with cold water. This will help tighten and minimize your pores.  Avoid using hot water, as this can cause your skin to become dry. Focus on the areas that tend to get the most oily and dirty, such as your nose, forehead, neck, and chin. Always remove your makeup before you go to bed, no matter how tired you are. Leaving makeup on will lead to clogged pores and pimples. Determine your skin type first, then buy a facial cleanser that is labeled for that skin type. Be aware that your skin type may change depending on the time of year and the time of the month.  For example, your skin by become more dry during the winter. It may also become more oily while you are on your period. Consider a cleaner that has salicylic acid in it if you have oily or combination skin. It's great for managing acne too. Toner will help seal your pores and restore your skin's pH. Moisturizer will not only help make your skin soft and smooth, but will also prevent your skin from looking flaky when you put makeup on.  Use a lighter moisturizer with SPF in the morning, and a heavier one in the evening. Use a heavier moisturizer in the winter when your skin is more dry, and a lighter one in the summer when your skin is more oily. If you have oily skin, choose a lightweight, gel-based moisturizer intended for oily skin. If you have sensitive skin, try one without any added fragrances. A lot of people love that sun-kissed glow and tanned skin, and for good reason: it makes you look healthy. Too much sunlight, however, can damage your skin and lead to wrinkles and skin cancer. This does not mean that you have to avoid sunlight like a vampire, however. Simply put on sunscreen that has at least 30 SPF on it every day before you go out, and try to limit your...

To limit your contact with bacteria and germs you should try to only use toilet stalls in hospitals and buildings that are cleaned regularly. Hospitals usually have the cleanest toilet stalls as they use disinfectants often and heavily. Avoid bathrooms in airports and on airplanes. Airplane bathrooms are very small, making it difficult for people to wash their hands, leading to bacteria on surfaces you cannot help touching when using the tiny bathroom on the plane. Airports are high traffic areas and their bathrooms may not be cleaned enough due to the high volume of people using them throughout the day. People tend to use the middle and last stall for a bit of privacy, so go for the first stall to limit your exposure to bacteria and germs. It will likely be less used and cleaner than the other stalls in the bathroom. A study found that the highest concentration of germs in public bathrooms are on the bathroom floor. The second highest concentration of germs are on sanitary napkin disposals and the sinks and water taps in bathrooms. Avoid picking up any bacteria or germs from the bathroom by hanging up your bag or coat on the hook rather than placing it on the floor, or leaving it outside with a friend while you use the bathroom. If there is no hook on the back of the door of the stall, you can hang your bag around your neck or keep your coat on as you use the bathroom. These options may actually be more sanitary than putting your belongings on the floor.

To maintain your minimalist lifestyle as a family, you should be aware of how many items you keep in your home. As a family, you should all agree to not buy new items unless they are essential and to think twice before accepting items from others. The idea is to keep your space uncluttered and free of extra stuff.  You may all also agree to do a decluttering of your house once a month to get rid of any items that you no longer use or that you have no need for. Making this part of your routine can help you all maintain a more minimalist lifestyle. You can encourage your family to do little things like keeping their rooms clean and free of clutter, as well as putting the dishes and other kitchen items away once they are done using them. You should all review your daily schedules and think about how you can further minimize your commitments and simplify your routines. Discuss how your attempts at minimizing your schedules have been working so far and think about ways you can minimize your schedules even further. You can also talk about what worked and what didn’t so you can improve your schedules. For example, you may talk with your partner about having more meals at home as this seems to be a good way minimizing your spending and have more quality time as a family. Or you may speak to your children about minimizing the time they spend on video games and using that time to do things together as a family instead. Practicing minimalism as a family can be a challenge, especially with the busyness of everyday life. You will all need to support and encourage each other to embrace the minimalist lifestyle to be successful. You can do little things like reminding each other why you are going minimal as a family. You can also support each other by getting rid of items you don’t need and by being willing to forgo new things. You may also have monthly family meetings where you talk about your minimalist lifestyle. Discuss what is working and what isn’t. Be honest and open with each other so you all feel supported.

To make a Monkey Braid (or Chain Sinnet) you only need a single strand. Monkey braids can add bulk, or shorten a rope. They are often used as a way to store rope without it getting tangled up. You can use synthetic or natural rope, but ensure that the material is flexible so that you can work with it. Plastic cords tend to be quite stiff, which can prevent you from getting a tight single-strand braid.  You can use a Monkey Braid to make a nice looking chain, which returns to a straight rope when pulled. You often see these braids on dress uniforms. For this technique you need to start by making a loop in the rope by pushing the right-hand end of the rope towards the left-hand until a loop pops up. The point where this loop starts will be where the braid starts so ensure that the loops start near to the left-hand end of the rope. Once you have a loop you need to take the rope from the long end (the right-hand side) and push it through the loop. You are pushing the part of the rope that is closest to the loop on the right-hand side. Only use a small section of the rope.  You should be pulling a small U-shaped portion of rope through your initial loop to create a second loop. Pull it down, through the loop and out, tugging it toward the working side of the rope to tighten it slightly. Note that it is easier to tighten each loop as you work when using this braiding method. Trying to tighten the loops once you finish the entire braid can cause the braid to be loose and uneven overall. Once you have pulled the u-shaped part of rope through the loop pull it to the right hand side so that is in line with the braid and the loop that you just pulled it through. Pinch another section of rope from the working end (the right-hand side), again making sure that it is directly next to the loop you just created. Push it under, through, and out of the loop on the end of the braid, tugging gently to secure it. The rest of the braid is completed simply by making new loops from the working side of the rope and pulling those loops...

To make a cake stand using a large decorative candlestick as a base you will need several different supplies.   Get a 10-12 inch microwave plate to serve as the plate on your cake stand. If you have an old microwave you aren't using you can use the plate from that, or you can buy one at a local discount or second-hand store.  Buy a large decorative candlestick. This will serve as the base for your cake stand. You will need sandpaper and gorilla glue to secure the base and plate together. You will need a colored spray paint as well as a glossy clear coat to paint the cake stand. You want your items to be as clean as possible before you make the cake stand.  Wash the candlestick and microwave plate in warm, soapy water. Wipe them dry with a dish towel. Let them air dry the rest of the way. They must be completely dry before you start putting the cake stand together. This will provide a roughened area for gluing these pieces together.  Glue the sanded microwave plate and candlestick together. Apply a generous amount of glue to the sanded top part of the candlestick. Attach the candlestick to the microwave plate, making sure it is centered. Wipe any excess glue away from the seam where the plate meets the candlestick with a paper towel Let the glue dry entirely. You will do this with spray paint in your desired color.  Most generic cake stands are white or black, but if you are having a themed party you might want your cake stand to match the décor. Apply the first coat of paint, making sure the color is even. Allow this to dry completely. Apply a second coat of colored spray paint and allow the item to dry. Lastly, apply a clear coat to seal in the color and provide shine. Let these dry completely before using the cake stand. Add other decorations to your cake stand, such as ribbons or stickers after the paint has dried.

To make a disappearing card box, you’ll need the following materials:  A real deck of playing cards Thin cardboard or posterboard Clear tape Glue A pen or pencil Scissors or a craft knife Color photocopies: 1 of the front of a playing card, 1 of the back of a playing card, 2 of the long edges of the card deck, and 1 of the short edge of the card deck For this trick, you will create a box insert that looks a deck of cards -- a "fake" deck. The fake deck will be inserted into the real card box.  Place the bottom edge (the short narrow side) of the card box onto the cardboard and trace around it. Place the box on its long narrow side and trace around it. Repeat this process a second time. Place a playing card on the cardboard and trace around it. Repeat this process a second time. You should now have one short rectangle, two longer rectangles, and two rectangles the size of playing cards traced onto the cardboard. Use a craft knife or scissors to cut out the rectangles. Alternate the playing-card-sized rectangles (A) and long thin rectangles (B) like this: A B A B. Tape them together.  Next, bring the untaped edges of the fake deck together to form a box shape. Tape those edges together. Tape the short rectangle to the bottom edge of this box. This is where you create the illusion of the “deck” that you’ll make disappear. It's actually an empty box that you'll insert into the real box.  Glue the photocopy of the front of the playing card (the "face," such as the Jack of Diamonds) to the front of the fake deck. Glue the photocopy of the back of the playing card (it usually has some sort of pattern) to the back of the fake deck. Glue the photocopies of the deck edges (the ridged edges of the cards when they’re held as a stack) to the sides of the fake deck. You should now have a box that’s open at the top and looks like the front and back of a playing card, but much thicker. For this trick to work, the fake deck needs to look as realistic as possible, so trim any ragged edges from where you glued on the...

To make a meal that will yield several servings, first gather one pound of ground beef, ⅔ of a cup of bread crumbs, ¼ of a cup of ketchup, one teaspoon each of salt and pepper, one tablespoon of dried onion, one beaten egg, two strips of thin bacon, and barbecue sauce. Combine everything but the bacon and sauce in a mixing bowl and fashion into a loaf about as long as a dollar bill.  After pre-heating, cooking the loaf for 20 minutes at 350ºF (177ºC). Remove the basket with the meatloaf still in it. Cut the bacon into shorter strips and position them on top of the meatloaf.  Brush barbecue sauce onto each and place everything back in the air fryer for 15 more minutes. Ensure the meatloaf is finished before turning off the air fryer. If not, cook for five more minutes at a time until the meatloaf is fully cooked. For four servings, gather 16 pieces of peeled and deveined tiger shrimp and 16 slices of thinly sliced bacon.  With the bacon at air temp, wrap each slice around its own piece of shrimp. Start at the head of the shrimp and wrap towards the tail.  Refrigerate your beautiful meat sculptures for 20 minutes. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (199°C) and cook your bacon-wrapped shrimp for 5-7 minutes. Allow your creations to cool and drain excess fluid on a paper towel before serving. For six servings, gather a pound of sharp cheddar, a pound of thinly sliced bacon, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup breadcrumbs.  Cut the cheese into six portions and wrap each in two slices of bacon. The bacon should fully enclose the cheese.  Place your creations in the freezer for five minutes to firm them up, but take care not to forget about them. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (199°C).  Meanwhile, mix the breadcrumbs with the oil until even blended.  Dip each cheesy bacon block into flour, then eggs, then the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to ensure adhesion. Double dip, if you so desire, into the eggs and then the breadcrumbs.  This will help prevent the cheese from escaping. Cook...

To make magic mud from potatoes you will need a bag of potatoes and water. You will also need a food processor (or knife), two bowls, a strainer, a saucepan (or kettle), and a jar. If you are using a knife instead of a food processor you will need a cutting board or a surface that is safe for cutting. You may use any type of potato. You will want to use several potatoes in order to make enough magic mud. However, there is not set amount of potatoes that need to be used. Use the food processor to chop the potatoes into very small pieces. If a food processor is not available, use a knife to cut the potatoes into very small pieces.  Make sure that an adult is available to help with the chopping. The potatoes may be peeled or unpeeled. Either way will work. Using the saucepan or kettle, heat up about six cups of water. Make sure that it is enough water to cover the potatoes that you just chopped. You can add more water later if necessary. Using a large spoon, stir the potatoes around in the water. You will notice that the water starts to change colors. Stir the potatoes for about two minutes. Place the strainer over another large mixing bowl. Pour the potato water mixture into the strainer. The water will fall into the bowl below the strainer and the potatoes will remain in the strainer. Let the water set for ten minutes. You can now discard the potatoes, or better yet, use them in a recipe. You will notice that the water will start to separate into a white layer on the bottom and a water layer on top. You can discard this water into the sink or the dirty mixing bowl. You will be left with the white layer in the mixing bowl. You can repeat this rinsing process by adding fresh water to the white goop, letting it set for ten minutes, and then discarding the water from the top of the white goop. The white goop that you are left with is potato starch. It acts a lot like the cornstarch mixture. Potato starch will feel firm when you try to mold it but will turn into a liquid when you apply pressure. Potato starch...

To make potassium hydroxide lye, you need the white ashes from hardwood fires. When hardwood trees are growing, they draw potassium from the ground. This potassium doesn’t burn in the fire, and is still present in the ashes after the fire. You can then leach the potassium from the ashes with water.  After every hardwood fire you have, allow the ashes to cool for a few days. Then collect the white ashes and store them in metal containers. The best hardwoods for lye water include ash, hickory, beech, sugar maple, and buckeye.  To make lye using this method, you'll need enough ash to nearly fill a wooden barrel. Don’t use ashes from softwood trees, as these don’t contain enough potassium. The second thing you need to make liquid potassium hydroxide lye is soft water. Rainwater is ideal because it’s soft and available in large quantities.  Set up a rain barrel in your backyard or under the eaves of your house to collect rainwater. Make sure there's a filter on the barrel to strain out leaves and organic debris. Soft water has lower concentrations of other elements, so it’s ideal for soap making. Hard water will produce soap that doesn’t lather. You'll need at least 10 pints (4.7 L) of soft water to make lye water. After you fill your barrel with ashes, you'll run water through the ashes to leach the potassium. The water needs somewhere to drain out of, so you need to make holes. With a drill and a small drill bit, drill about six small holes into the bottom of the barrel.  Concentrate the holes near the center of the barrel so the water will drain into a bucket. Fill the bottom of the barrel with 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of clean stones and pebbles. The pebbles should be large enough that they don’t fall through the holes in the bottom. Cover the stones with at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of dried straw. The straw and stones will act as a filter. The lye water will drain down through the straw and stones, leaving the ashes and particles on top.

To make the cauliflower hash browns, you'll need 1 head of cauliflower. Use a box grater to shred the head of cauliflower so it has a rice-like texture. Make sure that the cauliflower is washed and patted dry before you grate it. After you've grated the cauliflower, place it in a large bowl. Add 2 eggs, ½ teaspoon (3 g) of kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon (½ g) of black pepper, ¼ teaspoon (⅕ g) of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon (3 g) of minced yellow onion. Stir the mixture well to combine all of the ingredients.  You can use egg substitute in place of the eggs if you prefer. Feel free to mix in or substitute any other seasonings in the hash browns. Cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and dried sage are some tasty options. Place a large skillet on the stove, and add 2 teaspoons (8 g) of coconut oil. Allow the oil to heat on medium-high until it melts, which should take 3 to 5 minutes. Once the oil is heated, place half of the cauliflower mixture in the skillet. Use a wide spatula to press down on the mixture to flatten it. As you flatten the cauliflower mixture, try to keep the hash browns together as much as possible. After you've flattened the hash browns, allow them to cook for about a minute. You'll know they've cooked long enough when the edges become golden brown. When the edges of the hash brown mixture have turned golden brown, use the spatula to carefully turn them over. Let them cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the other side or until the edges are golden brown. You may not be able to flip the hash browns in a single pieces. Working in small sections often makes it easier. Once the hash browns are finished cooking, transfer them to a plate or platter with the spatula. Serve the dish while it's still warm.  The recipe makes 2 to 4 servings. Refrigerate any leftovers, and eat within 2 to 3 days.

To make the icing easier to spread, it may be helpful to warm it slightly or add a tablespoon of corn syrup and mix well. Then, take your offset spatula and add a large dollop to the top center of the cake. Use your spatula to spread the frosting outwards from the center. You can spin the cake plate to make this easier. Don’t worry about getting the frosting perfectly smooth yet, just make sure that the crumb coat is completely covered. Add a bit of frosting to the center of one of the sides, and work in one direction to spread it outwards. Keep your spatula parallel to the sides of the cake as your spread, adding more frosting when necessary. Take your spatula back to the top of the cake, and work slowly back and forth across the surface to smooth it. Do the same to the sides, wiping off any excess frosting when necessary. When you are sure your cake is just right, remove the wax paper strips from the bottom and enjoy your perfectly smooth cake!

To make these basic cinnamon pancakes, you will need your ingredients, a medium mixing bowl, a whisk or electric beaters, and a griddle or frying pan. Add some extra oil or butter to the frying pan to lightly coat the bottom. Heat the oil over medium to high heat while you prepare the batter. In your mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients, including the egg or egg replacer. Suitable egg replacers for this recipe include:  2 1/2 tablespoons (37.5 g) ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons (45 ml) water. 1/2 a mashed or pureed banana. 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 g) Ener-G Egg replacer mixed with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water. Continue whisking or beating the liquids as you incorporate the dry ingredients. Don’t overmix the batter, or you could end up with chewy pancakes. A few lumps in the batter are acceptable. Unless you have a large frying pan, make one pancake at a time. Pour a quarter-cup (60 ml) of batter into the frying pan and let it cook. When bubbles begin to form and cover the top side of the pancake, flip it over and cook for another two minutes. You want both sides to be golden brown. Add a bit more oil and repeat until all the pancakes are cooked. If you want to wait until all the pancakes are cooked before serving, keep them warm in a warming drawer, on a plate covered in foil, or on a cookie sheet in a low oven.

To perform this, sit on the floor with one leg extended in front of you, and the other one drawn up with the knee bend and your foot flat on the floor. Reach forward with both your arms to touch the toes (or reach past the toes) on your extended foot. Keep your leg straight with no bend in the knee, and hold it for 5-10 seconds. Repeat this several times on both legs. This is performed similar to a push-up and builds abdominal strength and endurance. Lay on your stomach, and then lift yourself up using your toes and your forearms, keeping your entire body straight as a board. Hold this for at least 15 seconds to start, and gradually add on time. You can do this a multitude of ways, but the easiest is to stand and lift one foot off the ground at a time, rolling your ankle in small circles in each direction. Pull your shoulders back and down.  Make you neck long, and keep your chin parallel to the floor.  You must only squeeze the inner-upper parts of your arms so they stay directly by your side, with your hands in the shape of fists. Your legs should be straight with locked knees. You should always be on your toes, and even if a leg in the air, all toes on both feet should be points. Also, your feet must be pointed outwards. It is a hard concept to grasp, but after a while of dancing it will be second nature to dance with your feet turned outwards. Try walking around home, school, work, etc, with your feet turned out for a half hour everyday. It will train your feet, telling them that they need to stick out. Another way to teach your feet to turn out is to go ice skating. When you skate, your feet have to be turned out to accelerate. Pay close attention to your feet next time you go ice skating

To prepare it for smoking, you must line the wok with a heavy-duty foil. Make sure that there are at least 5- to 6-inches of foil hanging over the edge of the wok -- it should be long enough that it can cover the edge of the metal rack that you'll insert to set the food on for smoking. To ensure that the foil is secure in the wok, press it firmly into the base. Make sure that your wok is thoroughly cleaned before smoking in it. If there are any bits of food stuck to it, they'll burn during the process. To give create a delicious smoky flavor, you need to add ingredients to the bottom of the wok to infuse the food. For the best results, try a mixture of tea leaves, sugar, and rice. The tea will provide a flavorful smoke, the sugar will caramelize to give the food color and sweeten it, and the rice helps to keep the set-up smoking. Depending on the food that you're smoking, you can also add spices to your smoking ingredients. Rosemary, star anise, coriander seeds, bay leaves, garlic, mint, cinnamon sticks, and whole nutmeg are all good options. Citrus peels can also add interesting flavor. To get the smoke started, you need to heat up on the materials in the bottom of the wok. Turn your burner to medium-heat and it sit until you see smoke coming from the wok -- it usually takes approximately five minutes. The sugar is typically the first ingredient to burn, but the others soon follow.  Make sure to work quickly after the wok starts producing smoke, so your kitchen doesn't become filled. Turn on your kitchen's exhaust or vent fan to help with the smoke. If you don't have a fan, it may help to open a window or two. Once your wok is smoking, place a metal rack above the rim of the wok -- a cooling rack works well. If you have circular rack that fits inside the wok, check that it's at least three inches above the bottom. Set the food that you're smoking on the rack, making sure that none of the pieces hang over the edge of the rack. The items should be spaced out, so there's room for the smoke to circulate. Place...

To preserve the heat your body produces, you want to layer up as much as possible, trapping in the heat. Ideally, each person will have an extra dry layer of clothes and socks to put under a warm coat, with a hat, scarf and gloves. If not, tuck your socks into your pants and your shirt into your gloves, if you have them. Trap in heat however you can. If you have a knife or another instrument like a screwdriver, sharp pen, or a piece of plastic or metal ripped from your car, cut the cloth from your seats, floorboard or roof and wrap up in it for insulation. Utilize the floor mats however you can, too.  Crumble up and put road maps, paperwork from your glove compartment, newspaper, paper towels or napkins, etc. under your clothes for insulation. Use the wool blankets you stocked up on to warm yourself. Ration your hand warmers, but use them strategically. Put them in your gloves and pockets when needed, but also put them in your socks, under your hat by your ears and so forth. Remember, your vehicle is your shelter, or home. Just as you insulate your home to protect you from winter weather and close the doors in your den when you get a roaring fire going, you want to keep the cold out and keep the heat in your vehicle. First, reducing the size of the space inside your vehicle will help with this. If you have an extra blanket and a large SUV, for example, tape the blanket from the roof down behind the backseat to seal off the area behind it. Tape newspaper to the windows to insulate them.  If you don’t have a blanket to block unused space, use whatever material is at your disposal. You could cut out the seat cushions, for example, and lodge them in strategic locations to reduce the space in your vehicle. If you don’t have newspaper to insulate the windows, look around you. Do you have magazines, paper towels or napkins, your child’s textbook? You could also use the floor mats. If you don’t have tape, do you have band-aids, gum, nail glue? If you’re not alone, the person next to you is far warmer than anything...

To prevent further damage to the stained area, test the product on a hidden area of your floor before applying it to the stain. Select a spot under a rug, beneath a coffee table, or covered by a chair.  Pour ¼ teaspoon of nail polish remover onto a clean cloth. Rub the saturated rag onto the test spot and allow it to sit on the hardwood for 3 to 5 minutes. Wipe the surface clean with a wet rag. Look at the test spot and determine if the product has removed the finish on your floor or left behind a stain. If the test spot is damaged, choose a different method of stain removal. Pour 1 teaspoon of nail polish remover onto a clean rag. Wipe and scrub the permanent marker stain with the saturated rag. Allow the product to sit on the stain for 3 to 5 minutes. Run a clean cloth under the tap or dip it in a bucket of clean water. Use the wet cloth to scrub the stained area. Scrub the stain using small circular motions in an effort to remove the permanent marker and clean up the nail polish remover. If the product only removed part of the stain or caused it to fade, apply more nail polish remover to the stain. Allow it to sit for 3 to 5 minutes before scrubbing the area with a wet rag.

To prevent odors in the future, make a point to look in your fridge once a week or so and remove expired food. This preventative measure will keep foul smells from building up in the first place. It’s much easier to prevent bad odors in your fridge than it is to eliminate them. Try looking right before you take out the trash. That way, you’ll be able to get the spoiled, smelly food out of your home as soon as you’ve noticed it. Fresh items like fruits and vegetables can easily go bad without your noticing if they’re tucked away in a seldom-opened veggie drawer or the back of a bottom shelf. Prevent this by storing them in a location where you’ll be able to see them daily. Then, if you notice any fresh foods starting to look a little past their prime, dispose of them immediately. For example, keep meat at the front of the top shelf, and keep fruits and veggies on a lower shelf where they’re easily visible. When kept in this temperature range, food will keep without going bad. Since it’s only when food spoils that it begins to smell, you’ll keep your fridge smelling fresh and clean as long as the temperature remains in this range. If the temperature in your fridge rises above 40 °F (4 °C), bacteria will begin to grow and the food will begin to smell. Were you to set the fridge temperature to 32 °F (0 °C) or lower, of course, the food would freeze. If you leave food uncovered in your fridge or leave it in, for example, a cardboard takeout box, it’ll go bad quickly. The sooner food goes bad, the sooner it’ll begin to stink up your fridge. By keeping leftovers in a sealed airtight container, you’ll help them last longer and prevent foul smells. As an extra measure to keep food from spoiling in your fridge, label and date leftovers when you store them. Tear off a piece of masking tape and stick it on top of the airtight container and write, for example, “February 14; chicken parmesan.”

To put together your own living picture, you’ll need an old or unused portrait frame, four 1x3 boards, a sheet of ½“ hardware cloth, a scrap piece of plywood, a hammer, nails and wood staples. You’ll also need a bag of potting soil and a hook or length of wire to hang your living picture later on.  Check for inexpensive picture frames of the appropriate size at places like flea markets, vintage stores and estate sales.  As for the plants themselves, you can purchase or harvest your pick of any number of hearty succulents, or find rugged species of plants like grasses and small shrubs that can withstand the unique demands of vertical gardening. Measure the 1x3 boards to the same specifications as the picture frame you’ve acquired for the project. Saw the boards into sections of the appropriate length to correspond to the sides of the frame. Attach the corners of the boards using nails to fashion a basic shadowbox.  Measure each of your wooden components carefully before you make any cuts. Use naturally water-resistant woods like cedar and redwood to encourage drainage and prevent overwatering the plants.  The addition of a deep shadowbox will provide adequate room to contain the potting soil and roots of the plants, while also giving your living picture a more commanding three-dimensional appearance. Using the same measurements you took before, trim the hardware cloth so that it slides into place inside the shadowbox without bending or resistance. Staple the edges of the hardware cloth to the inner wall of the shadowbox. The grid like openings of the hardware cloth will be just narrow enough to hold compacted soil in place, yet just wide enough to insert the plant seeds and cuttings through. Once again, use the dimensions of the picture frame for reference when cutting the plywood to size. Align the corners of the plywood backing with those of the shadowbox and nail them down. Then, fit the shadowbox, screen and backing into the frame and use a few more nails to make sure they all hold together. Your living...

To relax yourself and gain more focus before driving, take a moment to do a breathing exercise. Take a deep, slow breath in and hold it for four counts, then slowly release the air through your mouth. Repeat the exercise four times until you are feeling calmer. To alleviate some anxiety, choose someone trustworthy to be your passenger when you drive for the first time. Ask a close friend or family member who is a good driver to ride with you so that they can guide you through the experience. Avoid choosing anyone who causes you stress or gets impatient, which can make the experience difficult. Driving at night can be difficult because of reduced visibility. Avoid nighttime driving when you first get behind the wheel and opt to drive during the day instead, when people, signs, and other cars are clearly visible. Wait until you are more comfortable driving to do so when it is dark outside. To reduce stress, choose to drive during a time of the day and week when there is minimal traffic. Opt to drive in the middle of the week rather than on the weekend, when there are many more cars on the road and a higher risk of accidents. If possible, drive midweek during the day, when there is a lower risk of accidents.

To remove rust and similar corrosion from most coins, try S100 Polishing Soap. You may be surprised at how well this removes rust from coin surfaces. It is also well suited to silver coins, and it is used by German silversmiths to clean silver jewelry. Silver cleaning wadding or batting products are sometimes helpful since these wool or cotton fibers help clean uneven surfaces on coins. Weiman metal polish should do the trick, along with many other brands. Try the automobile section of your local department store to find a variety of metal polishes and cleaners that can also be used to clean metal coins. You can use silver cleaner, copper cleaner, or other metal cleaner – but the results of any product will be most effective if you're using it on the type of metal for which it is advertised. Again, only if these coins aren't being cleaned for the purposes of coin collecting – such as in a collection of coins with any emphasis on building monetary value. Be sure to follow all of the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations whenever using ultrasonic cleaning devices.

To replace a light socket in the ceiling, you'll need some basic electrician's tools to complete the job safely. It's good to have:  A razor, to cut around fixture if there’s paint Lineman’s pliers Screwdriver Non-contact voltage tester  Wire strippers Extra wire nuts Any time you're working with electricity, you need to locate the breaker that corresponds to that particular fixture and shut it off. You can test the power by flipping the light switch and making sure that it doesn't turn on. It's also a good idea to use a non-contact voltage tester to make sure the fixture isn't getting power. Decorative fixtures like globes will need to be removed first, gently unscrewing or unfastening the connections and putting the piece aside. You might need to use a screwdriver, but most fixtures will probably just use thumbscrews that you can remove by hand. Remove the lightbulb or bulbs, as well to expose the socket itself for examination. You need to figure out how the fixture is attached to the ceiling, before you go unscrewing it. Most fixtures are attached in one of two ways. The first method involves simple screws that go through the fixture into the junction box in the ceiling. The second involves a threaded post that extends through the fixture from behind and attaches with a decorative cap nut, usually a small knob in the center of the fixture. There are typically two or three screws holding the fixture itself to the bracket. Lower the fixture down, exposing the wire connections. Once the fixture is down, use your hands or pliers to undo the wire nuts. Wire nuts  are the plastic cone-looking pieces covering the ends of where the wires come together, connecting the black and white wires coming from the fixture to the wires coming from the ceiling. There might also be a ground wire from the fixture attached to the metal of the junction box in the ceiling by a screw. The junction box is a round, square or octagonal box, usually made of plastic, in the ceiling under where the fixture used to be. Normally there will...

To see how much antiques are being sold for, check with the professionals. Search online for local antique shops and visit them to see how various items are priced. Remember that antique shops can often charge more for items because they have a sense of credibility, so your items should be priced at least 20 percent lower. For some antiques, like stamps and vintage cards, visit specialty shops instead of general antique dealers. Before selling an antique, check how much similar items are going for on sites like eBay. Search the item by completed listings or, if possible, sold listings to see how much people actually paid for it, not just how much people listed it for. This is particularly good for standardized antiques likes vinyl records and movie memorabilia. For some kinds of antiques, an easy way to find the current market value is through a printed or online price guide. Though not completely accurate, they break items down by type, rarity, and quality, giving a good ballpark estimate for how much your antique is worth. Search for guides that specialize in a specific kind of item as they will give you more detailed, updated information.  Try using price guides for collectible items like coins, stamps, trading cards, toys, and video games. Remember that price guides typically rank items by value, not how much they actually sell for. If you have an antique that may be incredibly valuable but is hard to judge accurately, pay for a professional appraiser to look at it. Look for appraisers that specialize in your type of antique and are accredited by a respected organization like the American Society of Appraisers. Professionals often charge between $200 and $400 per hour, but that is a small amount to spend on items that sell for thousands of dollars.  Your appraisal should include a written report breaking down what an item is, how much the appraiser believes it’s worth, and how they estimated the worth. Appraisals are particularly good for high-value items like paintings and artwork, coins, jewelry, and...

To simplify the function, you need to break the denominator into its factors as much as possible. For the purpose of finding asymptotes, you can mostly ignore the numerator.  For example, suppose you begin with the function x−25x2+5x{\displaystyle {\frac {x-2}{5x^{2}+5x}}}. The denominator 5x2+5x{\displaystyle 5x^{2}+5x} can be factored into the two terms (5x)(x+1){\displaystyle (5x)(x+1)}. As another example, consider the function y=3x+1x2+2x+1{\displaystyle y={\frac {3x+1}{x^{2}+2x+1}}}. You should recognize the denominator as a simple quadratic function, which can be factored into (x+1)(x+1){\displaystyle (x+1)(x+1)}. Recognize that some denominator functions may not be able to be factored. For example, in the equation y=x2−2x2+3x−1{\displaystyle y={\frac {x^{2}-2}{x^{2}+3x-1}}}, the function in the denominator, x2+3x−1{\displaystyle x^{2}+3x-1} cannot be factored. For this first step, you will just have to leave it in that form. If you need to review factoring of functions, check out the articles Factor Algebraic Equations or Factor Second Degree Polynomials (Quadratic Equations). Still disregarding the numerator of the function, set the factored denominator equal to 0 and solve for x. Remember that factors are terms that multiply, and to get a final value of 0, setting any one factor equal to 0 will solve the problem. Depending on the number of factors that exist, you may find one or more solutions.  For example, if a denominator function factored as (5x)(x+1){\displaystyle (5x)(x+1)}, then you would set this equal to 0 as (5x)(x+1)=0{\displaystyle (5x)(x+1)=0}. The solutions will be any values of x that make this true. To find those values, set each individual factor equal to 0, to create two mini-problems of 5x=0{\displaystyle 5x=0} and x+1=0{\displaystyle x+1=0}. The first solution is x=0{\displaystyle x=0} and the second is x=−1{\displaystyle x=-1}. Given another example with a denominator of x2+5x+6{\displaystyle x^{2}+5x+6}, this could be factored into the two terms (x+3)(x+2){\displaystyle...

To sound more feminine, raise your voice half an octave to make it comfortably lighter. When having everyday conversations, speak with a slight, upward inflection to make your voice sound softer. While it might feel kind of awkward at first, you’ll get used to speaking differently after a week or two! Body language is a big element of gender expression. Men tend to sit with their legs spread out, taking up a lot of space in the process. To seem more typically feminine, cross your legs over one another when you’re sitting down. When you’re standing, keep your legs closer together.  Bring your elbows in when you’re standing so that they stay on your sides. Women tend to stand like this more frequently than men. Slouching tends to be a masculine move. Sit up and stand up straight to keep your frame straight and appear more woman-like. Generally speaking, women tend to be more polite than men, which is because they are expected to be this way. Say “please” and “thank you” whenever you can, and use softer language to express complaints or concerns. For example, instead of saying, “I don’t know what you want from me,” say “I’m sorry, I don’t think I understand what you’d like me to do.” Managing your tone will give the overall impression that you’re more feminine. This is where the stereotype that women are passive-aggressive comes from. They aren’t passive-aggressive, they just tend to state complaints politely! To get in touch with your personal vision of femininity, you need to recognize that ego, social norms, and logic are going to get in the way. Leave your reservations aside and start to trust your natural instincts. Be confident that your own emotional truths are worth exploring and engage with them to develop a better sense of what it actually means to be emotionally intuitive.  As you learn to ignore your ego, you’ll notice that it’s easier to calibrate how you feel about yourself without shading your self-image with society’s expectations for you. Being sensitive just means that you accurately identify...

To start painting on canvas, first thing you need is an easel. When you are buying an easel, you need to decide what the main function of your easel will be. Also think about where you will do most of your painting. If you paint on the go, you need a small travel easel. If you paint in a small space, you need a compact, medium sized easel. If you have a large studio space, you can invest in a larger, more stable easel. If you are looking for a travel easel, the most important thing to consider is weight and collapsing features. There are many different types. You can buy a lightweight aluminum one with collapsible tripod legs. You can also get one that folds up and fits into a travel case. Try models such as The Jullian Plein Air Easel PA1 or the Daler Rowney St Paul’s Easel. If you have very little space, try a table easel. Use these on desks or tables of any size or height. Instead of long legs, they have a sturdy base that sits on any flat surface and don't take up room on the floor. They come in wood or metal and can be either H framed or collapsible. They can hold canvases as large as 35 inches. Most have a notched stand on the back that can shift to fit any angle needs. Try Reeve's Art & Craft Work Station or Windsor & Newton's Eden model. If you have a little floor space to devote to your easel but not a large studio, there are some compact freestanding easels. They give great stability for small to medium sized canvases and can fold up smaller for easy, out of the way storage. They come in metal and wood. Look for models such as Windsor & Newton's Shannon or Mabefs Inclinable. Large studio easels are made for long term use. They are heavy duty and have the capability to hold large canvases. You can also get ones with masts big enough for you to work on the bottom of the canvas at eye level on any size canvas. Try the Best University or Santa Fe II models.

To start, make a firm fist with your hand. It does not matter which hand you're using. Place the thumb side of your fist against your abdomen. Your hand should be below the ribcage, but above the navel. Wrap your other hand around your fist. Press your hands in your abdomen. Do so over and over again until the object is dislodged. Use quick, upward thrusts as you attempt to dislodge the object. You should see a doctor after saving yourself from choking. They will want to make sure there was no damage. You should also call 9-1-1 or go to the ER if you are choking and cannot dislodge the object.

To start, spend a week tracking your computer time. Many people convince themselves they need to be online as much as they are due to work, school, and social obligations. However, this may not be true. If you keep a log of what you do online and how long you do it, you'll be surprised how much of your screen time is unnecessary.  For a week, carry around a small notebook. Each time you use your computer, write down what you're doing, how long you're doing it for, and whether or not this is a necessary task. You may spend 20 minutes replying to e-mails for work, a task which is vital to your professional career. Before and after this, however, you may spend 30 minutes total browsing Facebook.  Be honest. You do not have to show your journal to anyone else. The goal here is for you to assess where your time is going and how to alter that time. For example, you may be shocked to realize you spend 2 hours a day total on social media sites. If you feel that's too much, from here you can set a goal to cut that back to an hour. See if you can reach that goal the following day. Staring at a screen for too long is unhealthy and can easily lead to eyestrain and headaches. Therefore, schedule breaks from computer usage. This can help you consciously make an effort to spend time away from your computer.  If you have downtime at work, do not immediately get on Twitter or Facebook. Instead, spend some time away from your computer. Go for a short walk. Read a book for 10 minutes. Call a friend to chat.  When you're home alone, try to consciously schedule breaks when you're working on the computer. For example, after 2 hours of computer usage promise yourself you'll take a 20 minute walk with the dog. This will pull you away from the screen and give you a break. You can even set a timer to help yourself stay on track.  When you are on your computer, set timers to remind yourself to take breaks. For example, you may set an alarm or alert to go off every 30 or 45 minutes, reminding you to get up and walk away from your screen...

To start, take some baking soda from your pantry. Sprinkle a light layer on your baking sheet. Make sure the full surface of the sheet is covered in a layer of baking soda to start. After adding your baking soda, pour a layer of hydrogen peroxide over the baking soda. If you don't have hydrogen peroxide, you can purchase it at any drug store. Sprinkle another layer of baking soda on the baking sheet. Makes sure to cover the full surface with a light dusting of baking soda. This will ensure the baking sheet comes clean. The baking soda and hydrogen peroxide needs to soak into the sheet to break down dirt and debris. Let the sheet sit for about two hours. Place in on a flat surface where it will not be disturbed. If you have young children or pets, keep the baking sheet out of their reach. Take a coarse sponge or rag. Wipe the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide off the pan. Built up debris should come off easily after the pan was soaked. If there is any lingering baking soda after scrubbing down the pan, you can rinse it off with clean water.

To start, you'll need to collect a variety of old newspapers. If you do not subscribe to a newspaper, this can get tricky. However, there are ways you can find newspapers for craft purposes.  Old newspaper is commonly recycled. If you know a neighbor who's big into recycling, try asking him or her if they have any old newspaper to spare. You may also be able to find old newspaper at the recycling bin of a local dump, but make you ask worker if taking the paper is okay. Check at your local grocery store as well. If they have day old newspapers they intend to throw out, they may be willing to give these papers to you. Making a dress out of newspaper can be a fun project for an afternoon. It can also be great for a costume party. To make a newspaper dress, you'll need the following supplies:  You will need a pen or a pencil. Make sure to get a non-toxic brand of adhesive tape. You should get a tape measure, which you can purchase at a local drugstore if you do not have one on-hand. You'll need some string. You can use shoe string, or buy a thick bundle of string at a local craft store.

To steam the dumplings, just line a steamer basket with parchment and steam the dumplings for 6-7 minutes if they're fresh. If they're frozen, steam them for 7-8 minutes. To pan-sear dumplings, you'll be essentially making pot stickers. To do this, just film a skillet with a tablespoon of oil and warm it over high heat. Once the oil is simmering, after a minute or so, place the dumplings on the pan so they fill the pan without touching. Cook the bottoms of the dumplings until they've turned golden and brown. Place 3 tablespoon (44.4 ml). of water in the pan, cover it, and reduce it to low.  Cook the dumplings for 3-5 minutes if they're fresh. Cook the dumplings for 6-8 minutes if they're frozen. To boil the dumplings, bring a pot of water to a boil and place the dumplings in the pot. Stir them so that they don't stick together. Then, add 1 1/2 cups of cold water and wait for the water to return to a boil. Repeat this process one more time. After the third time, check one dumpling to see if it's cooked through, and boil the dumplings for another few minutes if they aren't ready.

To thread your eyebrows, you will need high-cotton sewing thread. Measure out a piece of thread that is as long as your forearm, plus three inches. It should be around 14 inches or 35 cm long.  Using high-cotton sewing thread will ensure your eyebrow hairs do not snap off between the thread. High-cotton thread tends to grip hair better than synthetic thread. Thread is the best thing to use for threading. Do not use floss or string as this will not be as effective as thread. You will use the eyebrow scissors to trim your eyebrows before you thread them. You can also use small hair shears or small sewing scissors. You want scissors that will be small enough to trim your brows and sharp enough to get at the hairs. You will use the brush on your brows to prepare them for the threading. You can use a standard eyebrow brush or a fine toothed hair comb. Make sure the brush or comb is clean as you do not want to get bacteria or dirt in your brows before you thread them. You will use the pencil to draw the shape you want for your eyebrows. This will help to guide you as you thread your eyebrows. Go for an eyebrow pencil that is the same shade as your brows or slightly darker than your brows. You should also check that the eyebrow pencil will wash off with water or makeup remover so you can get rid of the outline once you are done threading your eyebrows. You will use the aloe vera or the ice pack to soothe your brows after you are done threading them. The aloe vera or ice pack will also help with any redness or irritation that develops due to the threading. You can use aloe vera from a bottle or a standard ice pack, wrapped in a clean towel.

To throw a punch with your right hand, place your left leg in front of you and your right leg back. Your knees should be slightly bent. As you gain momentum, make sure your body is relaxed.  It will increase your momentum and the force of your hit. The temple is the area on the side of a person's face, between the hairline and the eyebrows, at eye level. If the temple is accurately targeted, the punch will cause the brain to swing violently against the skull lining, causing a blackout. It's sometimes easier to use the palm of your hand for hitting, but in this case a fist is more accurate. Aiming at the side of the person's face, and hitting them from the side, is extremely hard to do with force when only using the palm. Generate more force with a hit by twisting your hips while you move into the target. If you want to put more force into your swing, be sure to use your hips as well as your arms.

To use this comparison formula, both sheets must be in the same workbook file. You'll see this at the bottom of the screen to the right of your open sheets.  Type or copy the following formula into A1 on your new sheet: =IF(Sheet1!A1<> Sheet2!A1, "Sheet1:"&Sheet1!A1&" vs Sheet2:"&Sheet2!A1, "")  Drag it down as far down as the first two sheets go. For example, if your spreadsheets go down to Row 27, drag the Fill box down to that row. After dragging it down, drag it to the right to cover the original sheets. For example, if your spreadsheets go to Column Q, drag the Fill box to that column. After dragging the Fill box across the new sheet, you'll see cells fill wherever differences between the sheets were found. The cell will display the value of the cell in the first sheet and the value of the same cell in the second sheet. For example, A1 in Sheet1 is "Apples," and A1 in Sheet2 is "Oranges." A1 in Sheet3 will display "Sheet1:Apples vs Sheet2:Oranges" when using this comparison formula.

To use this method, you need to know the length of the triangle’s base, and the height, or altitude, of the triangle. You can also use this method if you are given line segments representing the base and altitude instead of the measurements. For example, you might have an isosceles triangle with a base of 5 cm and a height of 2.5 cm. If you know the measurement, use a ruler. For example, if you know that the base is 5 cm long, use a ruler to draw a line that is exactly 5 cm long.  If using a line segment instead of a measurement, draw the base by setting the compass to the width of the base. Draw an endpoint. Use the compass to draw the second endpoint. Then, connect the endpoints using a straightedge. This means a line that cuts the line in half. You can use a compass and the method described here. Draw the line at least as long as the triangle’s altitude. You can also use a ruler and a protractor to bisect the line. Divide the length of the base in half. Use the ruler to draw a midpoint. Then, use a protractor to draw a line at this midpoint that intersects the base at a 90-degree angle. If you know the measurement of the altitude, use a ruler to open the compass to this exact length (for example, 2.5 cm). If you are given a line segment, open the compass to the length of the provided line. Place the tip of the compass on the midpoint of the base. Draw an arc across the bisecting line. You need to draw the arc only on one side of the base. Connect the point where the altitude and arc intersect with either endpoint of the base. The resulting figure will be an isosceles triangle.

To-do lists are great because they help keep you organized and allow you to prioritize. In your mind, make a list of everything you need to do that day and figure out in what order you want to complete the tasks. When creating a to-do list, prioritize quality over quantity. Don’t just add something to your list because it’s easy to cross off. Being able to hold your breath for long periods of time is beneficial for certain sports, like swimming or surfing. It’s also a great way to keep yourself occupied when you have nothing else to do. Try looking at the clock and timing yourself to see how long you can currently hold your breath. Keep practicing and see if you are able to increase that amount over time. Be mindful that holding your breath for too long can lead to health risks, including fatal blackouts. Whatever your fantasy is, live it out in your brain for a few minutes. Imagination is important because it helps you reignite your passions and stimulates your creativity. Let your mind drift off wherever it wants to go. Chances are, you’ll go somewhere fun and the time will pass quickly. If you’re fantasizing while in class, make an effort to at least look like you’re paying attention. Think about a fun trip you took recently or a cool party you went to. Remember all the things that made the experience positive and try to recreate them in your brain. Play a mental slideshow of all the memories you have from those experiences. The walk down memory lane will keep your mind occupied and will help you remember a happier time. Time flies when sleeping. Napping for just 20 minutes can help refresh the mind, improve overall alertness, boost mood and increase productivity.

Toads need a lot of water and very little sunlight to live happily, so they tend to spend time in shadowy places with a lot of water. Look around your yard in dark, damp places to see if you can find a toad to catch. It might also help to go out toad hunting at dusk, especially on a day when it has recently been raining.  Look in, around, and under bushes or logs when trying to find your new pet. Toads can be burnt by too much direct sunlight, so you might need to look in a few hiding places to find one. In the springtime, male toads will sit in pools of water and croak loudly to try and find a mate. Listen out for loud croaking, or look in ponds and puddles to try to find a toad. If there's nowhere nearby that you think toads could hide, try making a small area that'll be more comfortable for one. Make a small puddle, add some hiding places, and add some decorations to make an area that will attract toads. You're a lot bigger than a toad, so you'll need to move slowly, quietly, and carefully to catch a toad in your hands without scaring it away. Slowly kneel down in front of the toad and cup your hands around the toad. Lift it up off the ground, holding it carefully to stop it from jumping out suddenly.  If you feel something wet in your hands, don't panic. The toad is releasing water from its bladder, not peeing on you. If the toad jumps out of your hands, it might hurt itself by hitting the ground too hard. Try and avoid handling the toad too much, as the oils on your skin can hurt it. Move your toad to a holding container as quickly as possible. While you'll need to move slowly and quietly to get close to a toad, you should move in one swift motion to catch it in a net. Swoop down over the toad with a bug net, letting the top of the net fold over so the toad can hop into it. Once the toad hops further into the net, pick it up and twist the top to keep the toad from jumping out.  You'll need great aim to catch a toad properly! If you miss and hit the toad with the edge of the net, you may hurt it. Don't...

Toast your spices in a dry pan over medium heat until they brown lightly and release fragrance, or for one or two minutes. Besides improving their aroma, dry roasting tends to make spices more mellow and complex. The exact flavor change depends on the spice. Whether or not you toast the spices is a matter of taste, so feel free to experiment. Do not toast wet ingredients such as citrus or raw ginger. This makes it easy to remove the spices when it's time to pour the wine. Alternatively, just add them to the pot loose and pour the wine through a strainer before serving. You can also stick the cloves into the skin of a whole orange or other citrus fruit to make a traditional, decorative infuser. Wine and other acidic ingredients can pick up potentially harmful amounts of metal from aluminum, copper, and cast iron, or corrode the protective coating on some cookware. It's best to use less reactive options such as stainless steel, anodized aluminum, or nonstick materials, especially if you cook with wine often. Slice one orange and one lemon directly into the pot, or add only the juice and zest, discarding the rest. The second option allows you to avoid bitter flavors from the white pith, so make sure to zest only the colorful outer skin. Dry fruit is another nice addition to mulled wine. If you happen to have dried apricots, cherries, sultanas, or prunes, toss in a small handful. Mulling will cover up nuanced flavors, so there's no point using the good stuff. A cheap, fairly dry red is a good choice. Fruity flavors should be prominent, with no strong oak or tannic components that could turn the brew bitter. Try Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux, or Pinot Noir. You can mull white wine, but it works better with lighter flavors, such as vanilla and elderflower cordial. Start with ½ cup (100g) granulated or raw sugar. If you have a sweet tooth or your wine is particularly dry, you can always add more at the end after taste testing. Replace the sugar with maple syrup for a richer flavor that complements the ginger,...

Today, many jawbreakers (like, for instance, Everlasting Gobstoppers) are multilayered — if you cut the candy in half, you'll be able to see the rings made by the different layers. With a little extra work, you can get a similar effect in your homemade jawbreakers. To do this, start by making a batch of jawbreakers according to the step above. Next, prepare a second recipe's worth of syrup, but give it a different color and flavor than you used for your first batch. When the syrup is  cold enough to handle, roll your cold jawbreakers in it, giving each an even coat. Put the coated jawbreakers on a piece of parchment paper and put them in the fridge to cool. To give your jawbreakers a little extra "bite," try stirring a generous pinch of popping candy (like Pop Rocks, etc.) into your syrup as you add the flavoring and color.  When the jawbreakers are finished, the popping candy will provide a satisfying fizz as you enjoy them. It's worth noting that, if you're willing to experiment, you don't need to use commercial liquid candy flavorings. There are a number of ways to make your own flavorings for use in jawbreakers and other candies — nearly any sort of dense, strongly-flavored oil, syrup or liquid can potentially work. One cheap, easy way to make your own flavoring is to add just enough water to an individual packet of Kool-Aid powder to produce a liquid. Stir this into your mixture earlier in the cooking process than you normally would to allow the extra water to boil off. Another trick that works well for fruit flavors is to add a splash of fruit juice (plus a little grated zest if you have it) — as above, give the extra liquid a chance to boil off if you use this method. The jawbreaker recipe above is very similar to that used for a wide variety of other hard candies. In fact, if you just dip a popsicle stick in each jawbreaker as it hardens, you'll have a set of lollipops once they cool — try it! Keeping the sticks upright while the candy cools can be a challenge, so try carefully laying them on their...

Toddlers and their brains are still growing. Presenting a two or three-year-old child an entire box of crayons and expecting him or her to learn all of the colors would overwhelm the child. Instead, have the child pick out one or two of his or her favorite colors and reinforce your lessons of those during the week. Move to a new color or two the next week and repeat this pattern until your toddler knows a wide array of colors. Consider starting your child with the basic colors of the rainbow. These are the ones he or she will need to know for school. Keep in mind it may also be difficult for a toddler to differentiate between similar shades of one color. It’s easier for a toddler to know “red” instead of “carnelian” or “vermillion.” It may be more difficult for children to learn colors in English because the name is often used before a noun—for example, “the blue whale.” But by saying, “The whale is blue” instead, you can help your child successfully narrow his or her focus to the object before telling the color. In turn, this can help your toddler more quickly learn his or her colors. Repetition is important for the development of a child’s brain. Stick with games and lessons your child enjoys to help him or her learn the colors more effectively and even quickly. Build on these lessons as you introduce new colors to their palette knowledge. Let your child use the same digital media to learn the colors. For example, make it a ritual to watch a show at the same time every day or week. Ask the same questions every week: “Hey Max, you love Daniel Tiger! Can you tell me again what color he is?” Take any opportunity you can to help your child learn his or her colors. Playing games in the car or on walks like “I Spy” can reinforce your lessons and minimize boredom.  Use car trips to your advantage and help your child avoid the dreaded “are we there yet?” question. As you approach traffic lights, ask your child what color is showing. You can also ask your toddler if he or she sees a certain color car. Have your...

Toes are very susceptible to injury and even breaking when exposed to blunt trauma, such as stubbing them against furniture or kicking sports equipment around. In most cases, it's obvious which toe is injured, but sometimes you need to examine your toes closely to better understand the injury. Signs of mild-to-moderate injuries include redness, swelling, inflammation, localized pain, bruising, reduced motion, and maybe some degree of crookedness if the toe is dislocated or broken. The smallest toe (5th) and the great toe (1st) are injured and broken more often than the other toes.  Buddy taping can be used on most toe injuries, even stress or hairline fractures, although more serious fractures typically need casting or surgery.  Small hairline fractures, bone chips, contusions (bruises), and joint sprains are not considered serious problems, but severely crushed toes (mangled and bleeding) or displaced compound fractures (bleeding with bone sticking out of the skin) require immediate medical intervention, especially if the big toe is involved. Once you've established which toe is injured, you need to decide which toe to tape it to. In general, try to tape toes together that are close in length and thickness — if your second toe is injured, it's easier to tape it to your third toe than your big (first) toe due to the similarity in size. Furthermore, your big toe is needed for "toeing off" every time you take a step, so it's not a good choice for buddy taping. In addition, make sure the "buddy" toe is uninjured, because taping two injured toes together may make things worse. In such situations, casting or wearing a compression boot may be a better idea.  If your fourth toe is injured, tape it to the third toe instead of the fifth because they are more equal in size and length. Don't buddy tape an injured toe if you have diabetes or peripheral arterial disease because any reduction in blood circulation from taping it too tight significantly increases the risk of necrosis (tissue death). Once you've decided on...

Tokay geckos are known to be temperamental and can respond aggressively if they are not comfortable with you. Take your time to bond with your Tokay over a period of several months before you try to handle him. Providing excellent care for your Tokay will show him you can be trusted and get him more used to your presence. The Tokay gecko’s bite can be quite painful and your gecko may latch on to your skin for up to an hour. To avoid being bitten, always use thick gloves when you are handling your Tokay. If you do not have access to thick gloves, it is not advised that you try to handle your Tokay. If you need to subdue the Tokay to clean his cage or remove an item from his cage without gloves, you can restrain him by gently pinning his head down and wrapping your fingers around his neck and body. However, this is very stressful for the gecko and should only be done when necessary. Many reptile experts argue against handling your gecko unless absolutely necessary due to their territorial nature and fierce bite. Only work on taming your gecko once you have owned him for a period of several months to a year and feel you are both ready for handling. If you are bitten by your Tokay while handling him, you can try dabbing one to two drops of white vinegar on his snout to get him to release his bite. You can also try dipping him in lukewarm water to get him to release his grip. Try to get him to release his bite gently, as you do not want to injure or threaten him.
