Set the paint can on top of the fabric, near the bottom edge. Trace around the paint can with the fabric marker. Cut 2 pieces of fabric around the traced line. This will give you 2 circles for the ends of the decorative pillow.    It should be .5 inches (1.27 cm) away from the edge. This is the seam that will connect the tube to the ends. Clip up to the stitched line, but not through it. The clipped edges will make it easier for you to sew the pillow together in the end. You can do this by multiplying the diameter of the circle by 3.14 for the circumference. You need this measurement to find out how much fabric to cut for the middle of the bolster pillow. For example, if the diameter of the circles is 5 inches (12.7 cm), the circumference is 15.7 inches (39.9 cm), or 5 x 3.14.

Set the plate and paper in the microwave and cook it for 20 seconds on high. Remove the plate and tap your finger against the paper. If it still feels wet, heat it for another 10 seconds and repeat until it is dry. Set the finished piece of paper aside. Repeat the process with a fresh plate and sheet of paper. If you want to avoid using a microwave, lay all of your paper pieces out to dry on baking sheets. Make sure that they do not overlap, as this will increase the drying time. You can also hang them up on a clothes line with clothes pins.

Set the scene by lighting candles around the bathroom. You can also set candles around the edge of the tub if the rim is wide enough that you won't knock them over. Tea light candles are great because they usually come with plenty in a package to set up. Any type of candle will work though. Turn off the lights so your bathroom is illuminated only by candlelight. Make a playlist beforehand to ensure you have a constant stream of your favorite romantic music playing during your bath. Try to find music choices that you both enjoy. Set up speakers or a music playing device ahead of time, and keep all electronic devices far away from the water to avoid electrocution. You can use an smartphone hooked up to a speaker, or a CD player. Prepare a tray with glasses of champagne or wine and strawberries or grapes to enjoy with your partner while soaking in the bath. Set the tray on a small table near the tub so it is easy for you both to access. There are also trays made to fit over each side of the bathtub, so that you can have the tray in the bathtub with you. If your partner does not drink, set out a glass with sparking juice or another one of their favorite drinks. Have fluffy towels or bathrobes ready for when you are ready to get out of the bath. As an extra loving touch, warm the towels or robes ahead of time in the dryer or using a towel warmer. If you don’t have a dryer or towel warmer, you can set your oven to 150 °F (65.6 °C), place the towels in a clean roasting pan, and cover the pan with foil. Keep the towels in the oven only long enough for them to get warm.

Set the skillet on the stove and put as many shelled pine nuts as you want to toast into the skillet. Spread them so they're in a single layer. If you want to toast a lot of pine nuts, you may need to make them in batches. Toasting the pine nuts in a skillet is one of the fastest ways to toast a small number of pine nuts. You'll need to stir them frequently so they don't burn. If you prefer, swirl the skillet carefully so the pine nuts slide around. Because the pine nuts will continue to cook even once you turn off the burner, transfer the golden brown pine nuts to a plate or baking sheet. This will allow them to cool quickly. Put the cooled pine nuts into an airtight storage container and keep them at room temperature. Put them somewhere out of direct sunlight so they don't turn rancid. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze the toasted pine nuts for up to 3 to 6 months in an airtight storage container.

Set the stove on high heat and salt the water liberally.  Setting the stove on high heat encourages the water to boil faster. Salting the cooking water helps to flavor the artichokes while they boil. Place them in the pot and then let the water come back up to a boil. Adding the artichokes will cool the water temporarily and slow the boiling, so let water come back up to a boil for just a moment. Cover the artichokes and leave them to cook for 20-30 minutes. If you cut the whole stem off of each artichoke, you'll need to weigh the artichokes down in the pot. To weight the artichokes down, use a small lid or an inverted plate that fits inside of the pot. This will keep the artichokes from bobbing up out of the water and cooking improperly. They are ready when you can easily remove a leaf from the middle.Use a fork or the point of your knife to remove the center leaf.  Be careful when testing the artichokes, as they have been sitting in hot water and can burn you. You can also check for tenderness by poking the base of an artichoke with your knife. Once they’ve been removed, drain them in a colander and plate them for serving.  Season the artichokes however you wish. Peel the leaves off to eat one by one, or cut the artichoke heart out. Serve the artichoke leaves and hearts with a delicious drawn butter or a flavorful sauce.

Set the suede on a hard, flat surface. If you have a suede cleaning kit, use the brush included with it. Start at the top of the stain, then work down to the bottom with short, light strokes. Brush off as much dirt and debris as possible so it doesn’t get stuck inside the fabric. Try using an old toothbrush or nylon scrub brush if you don’t have a suede brush. A suede eraser is a small bar similar to a pencil eraser. Rub the entire stain a few times until the eraser no longer appears to affect it. Suede erasers, along with specialty suede cleaners, are often included in suede care kits. Order them online or from retailers that sell leather clothing. Cover the stain with the cleaner. Many cleaners come in a spray bottle, so all you have to do is point the nozzle at the appropriate area. If yours comes in liquid form, put about 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of it on a clean microfiber cloth and spread it over the stain. Another option is household vinegar. Dampen a cloth or paper towel with about 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of vinegar and dab it onto the stain. Squeeze the dampened cloth to remove excess moisture, preventing it from dripping all over the delicate suede. Wipe the stain from top to bottom. The suede won’t get too wet, but the remaining oil may come right off. Rinsing the suede under running water is safe as long as you dry it appropriately. Set it in a safe spot away from direct sunlight or other heat sources. Using the suede brush or a similar soft-bristled brush, work from the top of the stain downwards. Keep your strokes short and light to avoid damaging the fabric. Brushing the suede raises its nap, or fur, making it feel soft and look clean again. If you have tried everything and still can’t get the stain out, take it to a professional.

Set up a hardcover book or other large, flat item between the laser pointer and the object to block the beam. This will function as a "camera shutter" of sorts while capturing the holographic object's image. If you use an alternative item to the hardcover book, choose a completely solid object. Transparent or translucent objects will not block the laser beam. Remove a holographic film plate from your supplies and position it carefully against the object. If the film plate is not thick enough to stand on its own, prop it up with plastic stands on both sides.  Let the holographic film plate settle for about 10-20 seconds before starting the image capturing process. Store the holographic film plates in a covered box until you're ready to use them for the sharpest image. The book should still block the laser light from reaching the plate at this stage. Hold the book in this position for about 10-20 seconds, waiting for any slight table vibrations to subside before you continue. Move slowly to prevent table vibrations or sudden noises, which can warp the hologram's image. For about 10 seconds, remove the object blocker so that the laser beam hits the holographic film plate. After 10 seconds, lower the book again to cover the laser beam.

Set up a target such as a ball cart at an opposite back corner of the court from where you’re standing. Practice serving the ball to the target. Count how many balls hit the target or land in the ball cart. A basketball hoop is a good partner for practicing techniques such as passing, setting and serving.  Pass or set the ball towards the hoop. Stand at the foul line, or about 15 feet (5 m) away. Toss the ball into the air and pass or set the ball towards the hoop. Try making a basket with your passes. Serve the volleyball at the hoop. Start at the foul line, or about 15 feet (5 m) away. Aim for the square on the backboard. Try hitting the square 10 times in a row. When you don’t have a partner, you can still use a solid, smooth wall as an imaginary partner. Use the wall by passing the ball towards the wall. Hit the ball when it rebounds to you. If you are able to practice on a volleyball court with a net and a partner, always practice like you’re playing in a game. For example, if you are working on passing the ball, have your partner send the ball over the net to you. If you are practicing spiking the ball, do so over the net. There are many combinations of drills that integrate serving, passing, setting and other skills. Search online for suggestions, or talk with your coach or trainer to learn more drills.

Set up an ideal sleeping environment so you can relax and fall asleep more easily. Dim the lights in your bedroom and make sure it is quiet. The temperature of your bedroom should be on the cooler side, as it is often easier to fall asleep in cooler temperatures. Draw the drapes or curtains in your bedroom to block out any natural light so your body knows it is time to go to sleep. before bed. Do neck rolls from one side to the other so stretch out your neck so it does not feel as tense or strained. Try stretching your arms above your head and leaning from 1 side to the other to release tension in your shoulders and neck. You can also do a forward bend, letting your neck hang towards your toes, to stretch this area. Get in the habit of doing at least 1-2 neck stretches a night before bed to help your neck relax and reduce your neck pain. Scrolling through social media or the news on your phone can strain your neck muscles when you tilt or shift your head to gaze at the screen. The blue light on your phone can also block your body’s release of melatonin, a natural chemical that can help you sleep. Opt for reading a book instead, propped up on a pillow in bed so your neck is well supported.  You can also listen to calming music as you lay down in bed to help you follow asleep, listening to music does not require you to strain your neck muscles. You may also want meditation nightly as part of your pre-bed routine. To help relax both your mind and your muscles, you can apply a warm heating pad or compress to the troubled area. Leave it on for 15 minutes, then remove it. Don’t allow the heating pad to get so hot that it burns your skin! Place a towel between your skin and the pad, if necessary. If your neck pain is very uncomfortable, take over-the-counter pain medication before you go to bed. Make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions on dosage and never take more than the recommended amount.

Set up fans so that they are diagonal and create a airflow. They should run almost constantly during the winter months, to ensure the entire greenhouse is benefiting from the heater. They can also be located near the top of the supports.  Some ventilation of carbon dioxide is essential. The vents should be adjustable. You will need to open them wider in the summer months. Solar heat may only account for 25 percent of the heat in your greenhouse, so a backup heater is essential.  You can also use a wood or oil-based heater, but it must be vented to the outside to ensure good air quality, carbon dioxide poising is a real danger to be looked out for in such a close space. You should check with your town or council to see what heating options are available in your area. If you can afford to outfit your greenhouse with its own temperature control system, then you can set it up to grow almost anything.  Employ an electrician and a contractor to install your system. It may need regular maintenance to ensure it can handle ventilation and heating in the winter. You should install several thermometers in case 1 breaks.  Place them at different levels of the greenhouse so that you can observe the temperature in your greenhouse at all times. You can buy a thermometer that measures the temperature inside your house and inside your greenhouse, so that you can watch it closely during the winter months.

Set up the chess board with only pawns. The goal of the game is to move as many of your pawns to the other side of the board. If two pawns meet and cannot move, they are stuck. Remind the child that the pawn can only move one space forward unless it is capturing the opponent’s pawn. If it is capturing, it can move one space diagonally.  An alternate goal of the game can be to see who can move a single pawn to the other side first. Remind the child that the white pawn moves first and that pawns can take two spaces on a first move. This helps the child get used to playing the pawns. Once the child has a good grasp of pawn movement, add the bishops to the game. The goal of the game remains the same. Remind the child that the bishops can only move diagonally. This game teaches the child to:  Use their pawns to protect their bishop. Decide the best time to let their bishop out in front of their pawns. Get their bishop behind their opponent’s pawns. Understand the limitations that come with only being allowed to move the bishop diagonally. Place the rooks, bishops, and pawns on the board. The objective is still to get a pawn all the way to the other side of the board. Remind the child that the rook can move any number of squares vertically or horizontally, but it cannot jump another piece.  The child should learn the importance of keeping the rook until the end of the game. At this stage, the child should also begin to see the difference between taking their opponent’s piece and winning the actual game. Allow the child to move the knights on an empty board. The “L” movement is very unique and may take a little time.  Pick a spot on the board that the child needs to get the knight to. Have them think through the number of moves it may take to get there. Once the child is comfortable with the knights, add the pawns and play a game as you have done with the other pieces. Set up the board with all of these pieces. The goal is still to get a pawn to the other side first. This is a complex game, but your child should be...

Set up your game by placing an empty glass or plastic cup (the titular "King's Cup") in the center of the table. Spread an entire deck of cards, jokers removed, in a circle around the cup, face down. You'll have a full ring of cards around your chalice when you're ready to play.  Everyone playing should be in a circle around the cup and should be able to easily pick a card on their turn. If you are drinking out of cans, you can place an unopened can in the center instead of a cup. This variation is also a bit more sanitary since only one person will need to drink from the can instead of a communal cup. Each player needs their own beverage in front of them, and they will drink from it or contribute to the King's Cup as the game goes on. Each card in King's Cup, when drawn, means that someone has to take a sip of their drink, so if someone's drink runs out they should refill it or get a new one. You do not have to all have the same type of drink, though it does make the King's Cup, a mixture of everyone's drinks, much easier to swallow. Each action forces someone to drink. Usually, this is a casual, single sip. However, some people like to make rules for each drink, something along the lines of "3 seconds per drink," or some other amount of time. King's Cup has a very specific set of rules which all of the players need to be familiar with before playing. Each turn, one person will draw a card from the deck, and each card is associated with a simple action for someone at the table. You should feel free to adapt or edit the rules for your game, since there are countless variations and rules, but a common set includes:   2 is for you. If a player draws a 2 (of any color or suit) they may choose another player who then has to drink. The chosen person must drink for the duration of time agreed on at the start of the game.  3 is for me. If a player draws a 3, they must take a drink themselves.  4 is for floor. If a player draws a 4, everybody at the table has to reach down and touch the floor as quickly as possible....

Set up your letter as a standard business letter. Choose a font that is readable, such as Times New Roman 12 point.  Your boss should have told you who to address the letter to. If you don’t know, then call Human Resources to check. Don’t delay writing the letter. You should draft it as soon as you tell your boss. In the first sentence, you should state that you are leaving and identify your last day. You don’t want the give the impression that you’re open to a counter-offer or other negotiations to keep you with the company. For example, you can write, “I hereby resign as marketing assistant at ABC Corporation, effective May 22, 2017.” Even if you’re writing the letter to Human Resources, you should thank the company. This letter will go in your personnel file, and you don’t want to come across as ungrateful. You can thank your boss for hiring you and for anything else that you’re genuinely grateful for. For example, you can write, “I can’t thank you enough for hiring me nine months ago as your marketing assistant. This job allowed me to put my college education immediately to work, while teaching me more than four years of college ever could.” There might be negative comments or performance evaluations in your personnel file. Now is the time to correct the record by providing context.  For example, if you’ve been criticized in the past for being tardy, you can subtly explain why. You can write something like, “This company has been incredibly understanding. Even when I was going through chemotherapy and missing some time at work, I still managed to finish all of my work, thanks to the thoughtful staff at ABC Corp.” Remember to keep it brief and professional. You shouldn’t give a long-winded defense in which you go point-by-point and rebut every criticism ever made of you. Instead, explain away one or two of the major criticisms. Repeat how grateful you are for having had the chance of working the job, and then give the company your warmest regards. Also let the company know whether you’re open to them...

Set up your light sources in a way that highlights and accentuates your model’s natural features. This might be a soft, diffuse sunset glow if you’re shooting in a cornfield, or a more stark balance of light and shadows for high-contrast black and white photos. Your lighting should work in conjunction with your model’s form and pose to produce the most aesthetically-pleasing images possible.  When possible, rely on natural light sources, such as the sun, moon and firelight. It has a much warmer, more immediate feel than artificial light (such as studio lights and reflectors), especially for daytime shoots. Move your light sources around and try out different brightness levels, placements and orientations until you arrive at the look you want. Unless your photography is known for a distinctive visual style, don’t be afraid to try out different compositions, filters, types of lighting, etc. Every model will be unique—every shoot should therefore be a little bit different. Be thoughtful in your approach and take the time to capture every nuance of your subject, location, lighting and action.  Mix it up. Include a few black and white photos in a vibrantly colored set or find ways to incorporate other thematic elements into the shoot. See what you can do to enhance the look of your photos (without altering them too much) during the editing phase. There's no need to stick too rigidly to predetermined plans. Though it’s important to have a specific vision in mind, improvising a bit can help keep your shoot fresh and exciting. Sometimes the best ideas start as accidents when you’re just playing around. You never know when you might achieve a breakthrough by simply letting things unfold on their own. Instead of running through the poses you decided on before the shoot, allow your model to move and position herself freely, and capture everything you can. You can always delete unusable shots later, but you might end up with one or two really special shots. Shake up a lifeless shoot by finding tasteful ways to hide or...

Set up your projector, screen, and tripod and digitally photograph your image as it is displayed on the screen. If there is a manual focus on your camera, use it to adjust for the distance to ensure the image is as sharp as possible. If your camera permits, try bracketing your image exposure with slower and faster shutter times and a fixed f-stop, and then compositing the picture with image software such as Photoshop. The resolution will still be compromised, but you may have better dynamic range. Either zoom in or use the macro function of your digital camera to take a picture of the back-lit slide. The peripheral light present around the slide itself may need to be blocked/blacked out. Use some cardstock or paper and place it so that only the slide's image has any visible light behind it. This process typically requires a tripod to make a sharp image. If your lens permits you to focus within an inch of the lens, use a stand to take a close-up image of the slide. Capture is quick with a click of the camera's shutter. You can test your camera for slide, negative copying at www.shotcopy.com/compatibility.htm and build your own copy stand if you choose.

Set up your tripod on stable, level ground, and adjust the legs to keep your camera level with the horizon. Make sure your tripod is stable before mounting the camera and lenses. Remove the lens cap and turn your camera on. If you are using a shutter release cable, attach it now. Turn off your camera’s auto-focus feature first--auto-focus is not ideal for night photography and may not produce the best focus. Look through the camera view and manually adjust the focus until you can see crisp details of the moon’s surface. Each camera model has a different method for adjusting the focus, so be sure to consult your camera’s manual beforehand. Shutter speed is also referred to as “exposure time.” A shorter shutter speed exposes the camera to less light, which means that the details of the moon will be sharper and there will not be a halo of light surrounding it. Use the shortest shutter speed your camera has. When you take a photograph, the pressure of your hand on the camera can destabilize it, making your shots blurry. A shutter release cable allows you to stand away from the camera while taking the photo. If you don’t have a cable, use the camera’s shutter timer. Once you have your camera set up and focused, take a series of shots of the moon. This will let you have a selection of photos to choose from. Try a few different shutter speeds and focuses to make sure you have the best possible shots!

Set up your workstation at the appropriate height. The most desirable situation is if you can change the height of your workstation but few workstations allow for this. If your workstation cannot be adjusted then you will have to adjust the height of your chair. If your workstation can be adjusted then stand in front of the chair and adjust the height so that the highest point is just below the kneecap. Then adjust your workstation height so that your elbows form a 90-degree angle when you are sitting with your hands resting on the desk top. Sit as close to your desk as is comfortable with your upper arms parallel to your spine. Let your hands rest on the surface of the workstation or your computer keyboard, whichever you will use more often. They should be at a 90-degree angle.  Sit on the chair in front of your workstation as closely as possible and feel under the seat of the chair for the height control. This is usually located on the left side.  If your hands are higher than your elbows then the seat is too low. Raise your body off the seat and press the lever. This will allow the seat to rise. Once it's reached the desired height, let go of the lever to lock it into place. If the seat is too high, remain seated, press the lever, and let go when the desired height is reached. While sitting down with your feet flat on the ground, slide your fingers between your thigh and the edge of the office chair. There should be about a finger’s width of space between your thigh and the office chair.  If you're very tall and there's more than a finger's width between the chair and your thigh, you'll need to raise your office chair as well as your workstation to achieve the appropriate height. If it's difficult to slide your fingers under your thigh, you'll need to raise your feet to attain a 90-degree angle at your knees. You can use an adjustable footrest to create a higher surface for your feet to rest on. Clench your fist and try to pass it between your office chair and the back of your calf. There should be a...

Set your alarm and give yourself enough time to go through your morning routine. If you are not sure how long it will take you to get ready, time yourself one weekend morning. Once you know how long it will take you, you can set your alarm for a good time during the week. If you go to bed at a decent time, it will be easier for you to wake up at the time you need to. Eating a healthy breakfast can get your day off to a good start and fuel your body.  Your breakfast should be a combination of whole grains, lean protein, low-fat dairy, and fruits and vegetables. Part of looking good is having plenty of energy and getting the necessary vitamins and minerals your body needs.  Good breakfast options include: oatmeal with almonds or dried fruit, fruit and vegetable smoothie, multi-grain pancakes with fruit and yogurt, whole-grain waffle/bread with peanut butter, or an egg omelet with vegetables.  Drink plenty of water as part of your breakfast. If you are rushed for time in the morning, prep your breakfast ingredients the night before. Healthy, clean skin will have a nice glow and help you look refreshed. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and moisturize your face in the morning.  You should also apply sunscreen before you leave for the day.  Use sunscreen that is at least SPF 30.  Use a lighter moisturizer than you used at night. You can also try a tinted moisturizer to give your skin a nice glow and a more even tone. Apply a cold compress to your eyes to get rid of dark circles and puffiness.  A cold spoon or a bag of frozen peas can be used as a compress.To further reduce puffiness,  sleep with your head elevated to prevent fluid from pooling under your eyes.  Place the spoon in the refrigerator instead of the freezer so it will not be too cold. You can put the spoon in the fridge the night before. Wrap the frozen peas in a cloth before applying to your face. If the cold compress doesn't work, apply a concealer with yellow undertones to hide dark circles under your eyes.

Set your alarm slightly earlier than necessary so that you don’t have to rush and can take your time getting ready. That way, you can start the day feeling relaxed. Set your alarm the night before so that you can sleep peacefully, knowing that you will be woken at the right time. Arriving on time will save you embarrassment and will give you time to find your classroom. Leave 10 minutes early to allow extra time to navigate unexpected traffic or parking difficulties. If you arrive early, take the opportunity to take some deep breaths before walking inside.  If your parents are taking you to school, explain to them that you would like to arrive a few minutes early. If you are running late, try your best to stay calm. Most people are understanding if you are a little late on your first day. If you are catching the bus, make sure you arrive at the bus stop on time so that you don’t miss the bus. Wearing something that you feel good in can help to calm your jitters and make you feel good about yourself. Choose one of your favourite shirts, or wear shoes that you love. If your school has a dress code, make sure that your outfit fits the requirements. Check the school website to find out if there is a dress code. If there is a uniform, this makes your outfit decision easy. Channel your nervous energy into preparing for your first day. Being prepared will give you peace of mind that you haven’t forgotten anything. Get your bag out and write a list of everything that might be helpful for your first day. This is a great way to help ease the fear of forgetting something.  Consider packing: a notebook, binders, folders, a planner, pens, a laptop or tablet, paper, a drink bottle, lunch, snacks, and a jacket. Organise your bag so the things you need most often (like pens) are easy to reach.

Set your ego aside and say "I'm sorry" for anything that you've done wrong, making sure to state it out loud so she knows you were listening. Do your best to accept responsibility for your mistakes, however minor they may seem to you. Remember that they're clearly important to her and holding onto any resentment will just hurt your relationship.  Don't be afraid to be the first to apologize, even if you don't think you're in the wrong. In some cases, you may have done something to hurt her without realizing it or intending to hurt her. It's important to recognize how she feels and show her that you didn't mean to hurt her. For instance, if she is upset that you don’t get to see each other very often, you could say, “I’m really sorry, Shelley. I’ve been so busy with school and baseball practice that I haven’t gotten to hang out with you much lately.” Be prepared to negotiate and discuss the problem to come up with something that makes you both happy. Try to be patient and understanding, and hear her feedback when she has concerns instead of arguing or lashing out.  Understand that compromise involves sacrifice and that you won't always get your way. Remember that she's giving up things, too, and that there's no "winning" or "losing." For instance, if she’s upset that your friend is always hanging out at your place, say "I understand you don't want Chris with us all the time. But he's also my best friend and struggling with some personal stuff right now so I don't want to just cut him off completely. How do you feel about letting him hang out with us 2 night a week from now on?” Keep in mind that some problems can't be resolved and there's a possibility that your relationship may end. While this is difficult to face, it may turn out to be for best in the long run. Try not to be too clingy, especially following an argument or a rocky period. Even if you want to be with her 24/7, let her enjoy a night out with her friends or take some quiet time to herself so you don't suffocate her or drive her away. If your...

Set your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius.) Many modern ovens will beep or ring when they’re done preheating. However, if your oven doesn’t have this feature, let the oven preheat for at least ten minutes. This will ensure that it comes to temperature properly. Use a shallow baking sheet of any size. Place the pieces of pork skins directly onto the baking sheet, skin side down. Make sure the skin pieces aren’t touching or you’ll crowd them.  Depending on how much pork skin you’re cooking, you may need more than one pan. If you want to make your cleanup easier, line the sheet with foil or wax paper. When the skins are cooked at a low temperature for a long time, the skins become dehydrated. This will allow them to become puffy and delicious when fried.  When the pork rinds are finished dehydrating, they will look dry and brittle like beef jerky. It’s better to dehydrate the skins for too long than not long enough. If they don’t seem dry, let them cook for another thirty minutes or so.

Set your oven to 300ºF (150ºC). The heat will restore most stale bread, although the effect will only last a few hours. Even stale bread still contains plenty of water. It feels dry because the starch molecules have linked up and trapped the water. This means you don't need to add water to the crumb of the bread. If the bread has a hard outer crust, flick water onto it, or run it under the cold tap if extremely stale. If the bread turned dry from overheating, or if it was exposed to air, it has lost some of its water. Wet the whole loaf to restore moisture. This prevents steam from escaping, keeping the moisture trapped in the bread instead. If you dampened the bread, wait until it no longer feels soggy. Depending on the size of the loaf and whether or not you added water, this could take 5–15 minutes. If the bread is soft but the once-hard crust is squishy, take off the foil. Keep heating for another five minutes, or until you've restored the crust to the right texture. Heat "melts" the starch molecule structure to release the trapped water, but also speeds up staling once the bread cools down. The bread will only last a few hours at most before it turns stale again.

Set your oven to 350° F. Measure out 1 cup of uncooked wild rice. Pour the wild rice into a mesh strainer and rinse the seeds under cold water.  Rinsing the wild rice will remove unwanted hulls from the seeds.  1 cup uncooked wild rice will yield approximately 3 to 4 cups cooked wild rice. Pour the rinsed wild rice into a 2 quart covered glass dish. Add 3 cups cold water to the rice. Instead of water, you can use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. Cover the dish and insert it into the oven. Bake the wild rice at 350° F for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the dish from the oven. Use a table fork to fluff, or stir, the rice. If the wild rice appears dry, add more water to the dish. If you used broth, add more broth instead of water. Cover the dish and return the fluffed wild rice to the oven. Bake the wild rice at 350° F for 30 minutes. After half an hour, remove the dish from the oven. Transfer the cooked wild rice to a mesh strainer to drain off any excess liquid. Pour the strained wild rice into a serving dish. Fluff the cooked seeds with a table fork and serve. After you strain the wild rice, you can season it to taste.

Set your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and wait for it to preheat. This method is gentle on pasta and sauces, but may not be practical for a single serving. Spread the pasta across a shallow dish. A deep pile of pasta may heat unevenly. If the pasta is dry, add a splash of milk or extra sauce to keep it moist. This is especially important for lasagna. The pasta is usually ready in 20 minutes, but check after 15 just in case. The foil should help trap moisture, slowing the drying process. Optionally, add a sprinkle of Parmesan under the foil 5 minutes before the pasta is done. Stick a metal fork into the center of the pasta dish and wait for 10 to 15 seconds. If the tip of the fork is hot to the touch, the pasta is ready. If not, return the pasta to the oven.

Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or 190 degrees Celsius. Many modern ovens will alert you when they’re done preheating. If yours doesn’t have this feature, preheat the oven for at least ten minutes to bring it to temperature. You can use two circular 8-inch (21cm x 5cm) cake pans, a nine-inch (23cm x 8cm) Bundt pan, or two 8-inch (23cm x 13cm x 6cm) loaf pans. Rub the inside of the pan and dust it with flour to create a non-stick surface. Alternatively, spray cooking spray on the inside of the pan. Discard any extra flour leftover from greasing and flouring the pan. Gently pour the cake batter into the cake pans. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl clean. If you’re using two cake pans, fill them as evenly as you can. To do so, add a large dollop of cake batter to each pan until all of it has been used. If you want to create a beautiful pattern, carefully arrange the sliced plums in a spiral formation. If you want to create a rustic, haphazard look, drop the plum slices into the batter in a random pattern.  If you are using plum halves instead of slices, set the plum halves in the batter flesh-down and press gently. Don’t press the plums too far into the batter. The batter will rise around the plums in the oven. When finished, the cake will have a golden-brown crust. To test whether or not your cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done baking. If it’s covered in batter, let the cake continue baking for five more minutes and check it again. Once the cake is done cooking, remove it from the oven. Slide the cake out of the pan and onto a wire baking rack to cool. If you let it cool in the pan, the bottom will become soggy. Allow the cake cool completely. While the cake is cooling, dust a layer of confectioner’s sugar over the top to add visual excitement. Once the cake has cooled, serve your plum cake with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Alternatively, make a caramel sauce and pour it over a slice of plum cake before...

Set your oven to a lower temperature setting, ideally 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176.7 degrees Celsius). Wait until you hear the oven beep to put in your bread. Put the baking sheet on the oven rack that’s most centrally located in order to toast the bread evenly. After five minutes have passed, open the oven door and use tongs to flip your slice of bread onto its other side. Make sure to wear oven mitts when you take the baking sheet out. Use the tongs to bring the toast from the baking sheet to your plate. After putting whatever spreads or toppings you want on your toast, it’ll be ready to eat.  Try a classic spread or topping, such as peanut butter, nutella, or cinnamon and sugar.  If you want to get a little more creative, top your toast with fig jam, goat cheese, and walnuts or hummus and olive tapenade.

Set your phone or computer to alert you to check your posture. Place notes for yourself around your house, car, and office. Sometimes all it takes to keep good posture is constant reminders and reinforcement. You need to reprogram your habits just as much as you need to strengthen your back muscles. Yoga is specifically good for improving your posture. Some of the best exercises include:   The cobra. Lie on your stomach with your hands under your shoulders. Make sure you point your fingers forward. Then, keeping your elbows close to your sides, try to touch your shoulder blades together. Be sure to stabilize your back by tightening your abdominal muscles. Then, slowly lift your chest to the ceiling, making sure to keep your neck long. Use your arms for support, but your back muscles to pull you up. Hold for 10 breaths, then lower yourself. Repeat 3 times.    Child's pose: Stand on your knees with your arms above your head. Palms should be facing each other. Then, exhale and slowly move forward. Lower your forehead to the floor and stretch your arms out in front of you, pressing your palms into the floor. Hold, and then return to the starting position. Repeat six times.    Mountain Pose. Stand straight with your feet on the ground,  heels slightly apart. Be sure your weight is evenly distributed between your two feet. Lift the insides of your ankles so that your feet seem cupped. Then, extend your shoulder blades and try to touch them. Slowly release. Finally, raise your arms to the ceiling and gaze forward. These techniques should specifically focus on your abdominal and back muscles as these are the muscles that will help support your spine.   Squeeze your shoulder blades together. Pretend you're holding a ball between your shoulder blades.Try to squeeze the ball by bringing your shoulder blades together. Hold for 10 seconds. This will help stretch the front of your shoulders, which will likely be tight from poor posture. Roll your shoulders. Roll one shoulder forwards, upwards, backwards, then back down....

Set your seed spreader to the recommended rate and fill it with half of your seeds. To ensure the best coverage, make the first pass in one direction over the entire lawn. Then, fill the spreader up with the remaining seed and cross over the initial direction. Think of making a crisscross pattern over the area. You may choose to cover the entire area again with an empty spreader to ensure good seed to soil contact. Once you've seeded the entire area, add some peat moss to your soil to set the seeds and help them hold moisture. Using a cage roller, apply a thin layer of peat moss to your seeds.  This layer of mulch will help keep your seeds moist during germination. It may also protect them from birds and limit their movement in the event of heavy rain.  You can also spread your top-dressing by tossing it lightly over the seeded area with a shovel. Use a rake with the tines facing up to smooth down the top-dressing and ensure that the seeds are well covered and in contact with the soil. Perhaps the best way to water is with an oscillating sprinkler. If you have access to multiple sprinklers set them up in various parts of your yard to wet the entire area.  For best results, water your seeds 2-3 times a day for about 5-10 minutes for the first 8-10 days. During this period it is critical that your seeds stay moist. You don't want to over water the seeds, but you do want to encourage germination. Water in the morning to decrease the chances of evaporation.  Don't use a strong spray when watering a newly seeded lawn. You run the risk of drowning your seeds or washing them away.  When watering your lawn, be aware of any potential rainfall in your area. Take the amount of rain into consideration when watering and aim for about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water a week.  If you live in an area prone to heavy rainfall, you could lose some seed. However, the rain must be heavy enough to move the soil before it can move the seed. When the grass reaches about 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) it's time to mow. Make sure the soil is...

Set yourself up for success by removing any temptations to watch pornography. Delete any files you have on your computer, recycle magazines, and block websites online. If having your computer in your room is tempting, only use the computer in public places or for limited amounts of time each day. You can even adjust your browser settings to block pornographic websites.  Reduce any risks that may stand out to tempt you.  Anticipate any problems and pay close attention to your surroundings to avoid compulsion.  Adjust your search engine settings. Sometimes an internet search may lead to unintentionally stumbling across pornographic images or websites. Pornography is scripted and often predictable. When you feel turned on, allow your mind to take over instead of pornography. You get to be the creator of your own fantasy using your imagination. Unlike porn, you can create whatever thoughts and images you desire in whatever way you fantasize. Let your imagination run wild. It can be freeing to be the master of your own sexuality and not rely on outside sources. Masturbation is normal and nearly all humans engage in masturbation during their lives. Focusing on your own body during masturbation (and not on porn) can help you discover your likes and dislikes and help you learn your body. Masturbation can also help you know what will make you feel good with a partner.  Instead of pointing your attention to pornography, turn your attention to your own body. Pay close attention to what brings you pleasure and what you enjoy, not just what your body is reacting to on a screen. Be mindful while you masturbate. Get out of your mind and focus on the sensations within your body. Don't allow your mind to be distracted, but stay present with your body's sensations. You may avoid intimacy with another person and replace it with pornography. Consider seeing a therapist to discuss feelings of intimacy and how to resolve them. The fear of being intimate with someone may be so great that you avoid it and use pornography instead....

Setbacks and failures will happen; they're a natural part of life. Failures are simply a way of showing you what works and what does not. They will help you figure out what you are capable of, and what needs work as you move toward achieving your goal(s).   Do not take failure personally. Failure to achieve a goal does not mean you are a failure as a person. Move on. After you have learned from your failed attempt, let the failure go. One way to keep your morale high is to look at any setbacks as learning opportunities. Failing once does not mean you will fail in the future. In fact, having failed, you are now more prepared to succeed the next time. Visualize your past successes. This can give you the mental boost you need to get past the stress of your failure. Whether you are dealing with addiction, obsession, or any crisis, it helps to have external support. This could mean friends, family, coworkers, or buddies at the gym. You do not have to do it alone.  Tell someone you see frequently about your goals. When the people in your life know about your goals, they can help you achieve them and hold you accountable. Sometimes our willpower fails us, but the people around us can help. Intuition comes from experience and instinct. Although you must be open to change, you should also be willing to trust your own experience and knowledge.  Trust your experience, but be open to new experiences too. Your intuition can help you make better decisions. Remember that intuition and contemplation are not mutually exclusive. You can use your intuition to help inform your decision-making process, even when you are not relying on it fully.  Intuition is a helpful tool for making quick decisions. This can free you up to work on other important goals. You do not need to dwell on every decision, but acting on intuition does not mean making the decision lightly either. In your journal, keep a list of the times your intuition helped you. Reference your journal when you are working through a problem. Achieving your full potential...

Setting a good example will encourage others to follow suit. Humans take in their surroundings to know what's acceptable and what's not. Do your part to keep your area looking good.  Plant trees in your area or local park. Don't litter! Anywhere or anytime. Encourage your local representatives to 'go green' and keep an eye on local parks and recreational areas. Most towns and cities have numerous organizations dedicated to beautifying and bettering the area. Contact friends and family and do your research. If there isn't a group already attacking the issues you're concerned about, start your own. Visit your local library, courthouse, tourist office, and city website for more information. If those turn up nothing, seek out private sources at parks or recycling centers. If you desire action on a community level, take your concerns to different organizations or local committee meetings. Making your voice heard is the first step to seeing progress.  Write an article for your local newspaper. Back a candidate for a local political office and work with them to back environmental change. Lots of cities are starting to feel the pressure of "going green." After all, knowledge is power. The more you know, the more you'll know what to do and how to do it more efficiently and effectively. Seek out professionals and resources on the internet to boost your expertise. The internet is full of like-minded people like yourself. They may also know more about this topic and be able to give you some really great ideas. Chat up everyone you meet when on your quest to help our planet.

Setting a manageable goal, like exercising 3 times a week, makes it more likely that you'll meet your goal, because you won't feel discouraged if you miss a day.  When you are able to work out without feeling pressured, you might even find that you're motivated to work out more often than your goal! In general, you should do 150 minutes of cardio a week, and add resistance training on at least 2 days of the week. When you're focusing on getting in shape, it's important to balance endurance training, or cardio, with strength training exercises like lifting weights.  Some workouts will have both, like a well made Zumba workout or circuit training. Combining resistance training and cardio is a great way to do both at once. Jump squats, burpees, and mountain climbers can be added into your cardio routine. Crossfit and circuit training are other options. Depending on your level of fitness, it's perfectly OK to start with just one type of exercise. You might want to start by just walking, or a 15 minute strength workout you found on YouTube. Aim for a well balanced workout, but start wherever works for you. Life can get hectic, and you probably have a lot going on in your day. You plan meetings for work, doctors’ appointments, and even lunch with your friends, so make working out a priority by scheduling time for your workout. Working out doesn’t have to take a lot of time out of your day. Schedule 20 minutes into your day — 10 minutes for a high-intensity workout, and 10 minutes for a quick shower. One way to motivate yourself to work out is to put your money on the line. If you sign up for a class you have to pay for even if you don't attend, you'll find yourself feeling more inclined to show up.  Fitness classes are also a great way to find a supportive community, and you get the benefit of a trainer who can critique your form. Look for fitness classes that combine cardio and resistance training. Circuit classes and Crossfit may be good options. Depending on your interests, you could try yoga classes, spin...

Setting a realistic weight or health goal is a great start to your weight loss plan.  It will give you something to track and work towards over the course of a month.  Think about how much weight you want to lose, what time frame and other health or wellness goals.  Set a goal for how much weight and what target weight you'd like to get to within a month. A healthy rate is generally considered 1 to 2 pounds a week. So what does this mean? Generally, you can lose up to 4 to 8 pounds in a month.  Setting a goal to lose more than this amount is generally not realistic. You may also want to set goals about exercise or lifestyle factors.  For example, you might set a goal of working out three days a week for 30 minutes.  This is a great health-based goal but will also support your weight loss. Remember, dramatic weight loss is risky and often ineffective; the faster you lose weight, the easier you can gain it back. Only real lifestyle changes can give you effective results. “Fad diets”, such as diet pills or liquid cleanses may help you lose water weight, but most work by essentially starving you. Taking measurements is the most effective way to track your progress.  It also can provide information of whether or not your diet and exercise program are effective.  Weighing yourself regularly is an easy way to track your progress.  Step on the scale one to two times per week and track your weight over time.  You will most likely see the most weight loss in the first week or two during your month time frame. Since weight alone doesn't tell you the full story of your weight loss, you might want to consider taking measurements.  This can help you see where you're losing weight. Take measurements around your shoulders, bust, waist, hips, thighs and measure them about once every two weeks.  Over the course of a month, you should be able to see some noticeable changes. A journal is a great tool when losing weight.  You can use it to help you prepare for weight loss, motivate you during weight loss and to help keep you on...

Setting a timer may help you to reduce the amount of time that you spend on social media. Try setting a timer for 15 minutes every time you log onto one of your social media accounts. When the timer goes off, log out of your social media account.  Make sure that you log out of your account completely when you finish a session. This will make it harder for you to sneak a peak at your social media accounts. If you have your login information stored in your browser, you may also want to delete this information from your browser, or turn off this option in your browser's settings. This will make it slightly harder to log back in because you'll have to type in your information manually. You may also consider turning off your notifications. This will prevent you from being tempted to log onto your social media account between sessions. For many people with social media addiction, checking your notifications and browsing your friends' posts can quickly become a competition. You may feel like you're not getting enough likes/favorites or shares, or you may simply feel like what you're doing pales in comparison to what other people are doing. Whatever the case may be, you may benefit from changing how you engage with social media.  Don't compare your photos, posts, or activities to those of other people you know. This includes resisting the urge to compare whose posts are more popular. Instead, use social media networks to interact with your friends and share what you're doing in your life. Feel good knowing that your life is unique and live it to the best of your ability. If you feel tempted to check what someone has posted or to look at how popular someone else's post is, take a step back and do something productive instead. For example, try planning a fun activity for your next day off. Oversharing may be tempting for some people with social media addictions, but it only furthers your problems. In addition to promoting a continuous engagement with social media platforms, oversharing also makes you more vulnerable to...

Setting goals is an important skill that many successful people employ to help jump start their motivation. Setting a goal better enables you to focus on the specifics of completing a task, while also helping you to organize all the tools you will need to accomplish your goal. One of the best parts of successful goal setting and completion is feeling increased confidence and self-efficacy once you have accomplished your goal. Setting goals is a great way to give your life plan a boost. It allows you to make your goals or steps specific, measurable, assignable, realistic, and time bound (SMART). It is important to use SMART goal planning in order to understand how close or far you are to obtaining a certain goal.  If your goal is to work toward building a healthier life, don’t just say I will eat more vegetables. Turn it into a SMART goal by saying I will eat two servings of vegetables per day for 30 days starting on Monday. This makes the goal specific so you have a guideline to follow. It is also measurable because you know what you are trying to aim for, it’s realistically achievable, and you have a time frame. There are a few ways you can make your goals concrete and achievable. To begin with, write the goal down. This makes the goal more real than if it’s just in your head. Make sure to make it specific. If you follow the SMART format, you should already have specific goals.  Formulate your goals with positive language. If you want to lose weight, say something like, “Eat healthier and lose five pounds,” instead of, “Stop eating junk and being fat.” Order your goals by their priority level. If you have multiple goals, there’s no way you can do everything at once. Decide what is attainable now, what can wait, and what may take longer. You should keep goals small enough that you can achieve them within a reasonable time period instead of years down the road. If you have large goals, break them into smaller goals so you achieve goals along the way and feel accomplished.

Поймите, насколько важно поставить себе цели. Используйте технику SMART. Сделайте свои цели более конкретными.


Setting goals that are not achievable is a surefire way to reinforce a negative attitude about the world; that it is too difficult, that it is unfair, that the tide is always working against you, etc. Setting such improbable goals can also kill your motivation. Rather than setting goals such as "I'm going to get all As in school this semester", try setting goals such as "I'm going to try my best to do well in my classes"; or, instead of setting the goal of becoming a famous musician, you might set the goal of practicing music regularly. The idea that your talents and skills aren't fixed and unchangeable but that you can learn and grow from your mistakes is a great one to tap into. You can use the power of that idea to become more skilled and talented and positive in your life.  By seeing failures as opportunities to learn and grow, you will be less likely to become pessimistic in the face of any defeats that come your way. For example, if you perform badly on a paper at school, rather than beating yourself up about it and calling yourself dumb, you might tell yourself "I really didn't do as well as I wanted to on this paper but I can talk to my teacher and find out how to improve my work for next time." If you are having trouble adopting a more positive attitude toward life and yourself, try putting on your happy face. Force yourself to smile for a few minutes each day while you reflect on life and yourself. Studies show that there is a bi-directional relationship between the facial muscles and one's emotional state: while we generally feel happy and then smile, we can also smile and then feel happy. If you want help smiling, try sticking a pencil between your teeth so that the eraser is towards one corner of your mouth and the tip is toward the other corner; holding a pencil between your teeth in this way will cause you to smile. We are great at learning from those around us.  So, become inspired by the actions of people around you, what they've done, by their biographies or simply the life stories of the...

Setting regular goals for yourself can help keep you motivated to exercise.  It can help you have something to work towards. Make sure your goals are SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For instance, "I want to lose four pounds by the end of the month," or "I want to run the city half-marathon next year."  Write down your goals for yourself.  You might want to journal about them or post them on your refrigerator. Let your friends and family that care about you know about your goals. When you share what you’re doing, you’re more likely to want to follow through. Set both short and long-term goals.  This will help keep you motivated over longer period of time.  Plus, meeting a variety of shorter goals along the way can be fun and exciting. Some examples of goals include:  running your first 5k, getting in 10,000 steps each day for a week straight, being physically active everyday for a month or run a mile without stopping. If you're not sure where to start or just want some guidance on how to meet your goals, consider working with a personal trainer. Many gyms offer a free session with one of their trainers when you sign up. She can guide you with proper form and tell you what exercises to do to accomplish your fitness goals. A personal trainer also serves as an accountability partner. No matter how much you love exercise or how motivated you are, there will be the occasional day where you're too busy or too tired to fit in your typical workout.  The occasional missed workout (or two or three) is not a big deal.  Allow yourself to slip up and fall out of your typical routine.  Focus on the benefits of that missed day.  Maybe you got a much needed extra hour of sleep or got to spend more time with your family. Try not to feel guilty or beat yourself up for getting off track. It's OK to slip up and miss your workouts.  When you can, get back into your routine.

Setting the price inefficiently will have marked and measurable effects on your numbers. You need to learn to recognize the symptoms of having either a low or high price point. This can indicate that you may need to make a change.   Underpricing is often done by companies who want to sell a higher volume, expecting that the customer will assume they're getting a deal, especially in a down economy. Doing this, however, can give the impression that the product is "cheap," not that they're getting their money's worth.  Overpricing may drive your customers elsewhere. Especially when you're trying to get your feet on the ground as your business gets started, it can be tempting to set the price too high. The investment of starting a business can be scary and you'll probably want to start covering costs right away, but consider the customer's point of view. Setting it at a point you'll make money will only work if people are willing to pay for it. Monitor your profits and prices at least monthly. Break down the cost/gains of every product so that you know how each contributes to your overall profitability month-to-month. This can give a clear picture of your money flow.  Talk to your customers and listen to their feedback. Take it to heart. If they enjoy your product but complain about the price, you might consider making a change. Develop a budget plan. Try to focus on a long term strategy that will result in making the business profitable. This might not involve making drastic changes right away, but slowly moving toward an overall goal of profitability. Jumping from selling an iPhone case for $5 to selling one for $12 will undoubtedly lose you customers, even if the price change is right for the business and a smart move. Instead, raise it incrementally and spend time advertising the product's benefits and advantages, as opposed to apologizing for the increase. Treat it as a benefit, rather than an inconvenience.  Sudden increases will look like desperate moves made by a struggling business, which may or may not...

Setting up a hair salon from scratch is a great option if you want a challenge, but you can also buy an established salon if you prefer an option with a little less risk involved. Here's a rundown of the options:  Set up a brand new business: You'll need to track down a location, come up with a name, attract customers, and run the business without an established customer base or brand. Open a franchise salon: Choose a salon chain with an established brand and open a new location. You'll have to adhere to their company's policies, so you'll have less freedom to make your own business decisions, but you'll benefit from working under a name that people recognize. Buy an established salon: If you know of a salon whose owners are ready to sell the business, you can buy it and take over. You won't have to find a new location or buy equipment. However, it's important to investigate the owner's reasons for selling to make sure you're getting a good deal. Run a booth rental salon: A popular option these days is to open a salon facility and rent out the different booths to stylists, who are responsible for bringing in their own equipment and clients. Choose a group of salons that are already successful and who have a similar target group of customers as you do, and then see what makes them successful or where they are lacking. Visit as a customer, and get a feel for what your customer will expect, and how you will be able to provide the services. You can then skillfully adapt these solutions to your business. Leave what doesn't work, and adapt what may work for you. Every jurisdiction has slightly different requirements when it comes to starting a small business. Visit your local courthouse or the Small Business Administration website to find out everything you'll need to do in order to legally run your hair salon. Here are a few actions you can expect to make things official:   Get a business license. To legally start a business, you'll need to get a license from the city where you live.

Several conditions that occur before, during, or after delivery can result in the precipitation of PPH. Some of these conditions require close monitoring of the woman during and after delivery to rule out PPH. It is important to know about these conditions, as they increase a woman's chances of suffering from this condition.  Placenta Previa, placental abruption, retained placenta, and other placental abnormalities Multiple pregnancies Pre-eclampsia or increased blood pressure during pregnancy History of PPH in a previous delivery Obesity Uterine abnormalities Anemia Emergency caesarean section Bleeding during pregnancy Long lasting labour more than 12 hours Baby’s birth weight above 4 kgs Postpartum hemorrhage, or blood loss after giving birth, is one of the world’s leading causes of maternal death, even after safe delivery. There are several reasons why excessive bleeding of more than 500 ml after delivery of the baby occurs. One of this is called uterine atony.  Uterine atony is when the uterus of the mother (the part of the female reproductive system that housed the baby) is having difficulties in going back to its original state. The uterus remains lose, hollow and non-contracting when it should be firm and contracting. This makes the passage of blood easier and faster, contributing to postpartum hemorrhage. Another reason why excessive bleeding occurs is when trauma or injury occurs as the baby exits the body.  Trauma may be in the form of cuts, which can be caused by using assistive devices during delivery Alternatively, lacerations can occur when the baby is larger than average and is coming out rapidly. This may cause a tear in the vaginal opening. Bleeding caused by PPH will not always flow out of the body. At times, bleeding occurs internally and if there’s no outlet for the blood it will move toward the small crevices found in between bodily tissues and will form what is called a haematoma.

Several factors could cause your refrigerator to temporarily run continuously. If you live in a humid environment, just loaded the refrigerator, or recently adjusted its temperature, it might take a while for the refrigerator to cool completely. It could take 24 hours or possibly more for it to cool. If there is a build of debris on your condenser coils, they won't be able to efficiently dissipate heat, and the refrigerator will have to constantly cool. If the defroster is faulty, then the evaporator coils will frost over, and the refrigerator will work harder to keep cool. The door of your refrigerator has a seal that prevents cool air from leaking out. If the seal is faulty, your refrigerator will have to constantly cool itself. Use a piece of paper to check for breaks in the seal. Close the door on the piece of paper and pull it out. There should be resistance when pulling the paper out, and if there isn't, a faulty door seal may be your problem. Repeat the test along the whole seal. This part helps dissipate heat, and if it's too dirty, the refrigerator will have to work harder to stay cool. This cleaning should be done with the appliance turned off. You should clean rear-mounted coils once a year, and floor coils twice a year. This will require using a multimeter on several of the refrigerator's components. These components include: the condenser fan, the overload protector, and the compressor relay and motor. A fault in any one of these components can cause the refrigerator to cycle improperly. Use a multimeter to test the outlet voltage of the outlet that the refrigerator is plugged into. Do this only with the proper tools and safety measures. The voltage should test between 108 and 121 volts.

Several of the B vitamins promote healthy hair, so upping your intake may help your beard grow a bit faster and fuller. Biotin (Vitamin B7) seems particularly beneficial, so you may want to consult your doctor about taking a biotin supplement as well.  Nuts are a great source of biotin (Vitamin B7). You’ll find vitamins B3 and B5 in chicken, beef, fish, dairy, and avocados. You can get Vitamin B9 from cereals, nuts, and leafy greens. Like the B vitamins, each of these vitamins supports healthy hair in some fashion. They’re also important for your overall health.  Eat carrots, broccoli, and leafy greens for Vitamin A. Choose green peppers, tomatoes, and citrus for Vitamin C. Pick beans, nuts, and leafy greens for Vitamin E. While it may be helpful to target key vitamins, make sure you focus on eating a healthy diet that provides a wide variety of nutrients. Think of it this way—whatever is good for your body is good for your beard!  Eat lots of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats (like avocados and olive oil). Cut back on processed foods, excess salt and sugar, and unhealthy fats (like saturated and trans fats in processed foods).  Drink water to hydrate your body and your beard hair follicles. Like eating a healthy diet, getting enough exercise and enough sleep are good for your overall health and your beard health. Aim for the following:  Get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week. Moderate intensity means your heart rate is elevated and you’re breathing hard enough that it’s tough to make conversation. Do 2-3 strength training sessions per week, each for 30-60 minutes. Get roughly 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep at night. to encourage beard growth. You’ve probably heard that excessive stress can cause hair loss. It shouldn’t be surprising, then, that it might also slow down hair growth. That means the less you worry about your beard, the better it might grow!  Find the stress reduction techniques that work best for you. Try things like yoga,...

Several stems, each with multiple sets of leaves, should have developed. Gently tug at the base of the center stem to determine if it feels sturdy. If so, tip the pot on its side, slip a short trowel into soil next to the side, and slide the pot away to reveal the soil beneath. If you can see white, even roots that fill the entire pot, the plant is ready to be moved to the garden. If not, you should wait a few more days or weeks. An east facing spot works best. Depending on the variety, you may need a location that receives shade by the afternoon. Varieties with lighter blossoms or double blossoms tend to need more shade, but bright red, single blossoms can stand a little more sunlight. Dig a hole that is 6 inches (15.24 cm) deeper than the depth of the fuchsia's current container and just a little bit wider. In the hole, add compost and garden-grade manure, both of which are available at garden and farm supply stores. These elements improve the quality of the soil. Fill 1/4 to 1/2 of the hole with these elements. Slide it out of it current container and place it, root side down, into the hole. Pack more compost and manure into the gap around the newly planted root ball.

Severe pain and panic is often the first response to the injury regardless of the age of the patient. Before any treatment can be done, it is important to calm the patient (even if that is you).  An injured child can be very unnerving so it is important you try to stay calm when you investigate the injury. If your child panics, be reassuring and try to give him a focal point, like your face or a favorite toy. Mineral oil contains petroleum and can help lubricate the area and release pressure. Mineral oil and petrolatum are also known to be effective in healing wounds.   Pour mineral oil over the penis and zipper. This lubricates the moving parts and often frees the skin without having to cut the zipper. Let it soak in for about 10-15 minutes. Before you move to dismantling the zipper, see if you can release the skin by pulling the skin and zipper to opposite directions with your hands.  Grasp the area of skin with one hand and the zipper with the other. Slowly and carefully pull the area of skin in the opposite direction as you pull the zipper. Caution: if bleeding or tearing occurs, stop and seek medical attention. To release the skin, dismantle the zipper from below. This technique can release the pressure between the zipper plates and will free the trapped skin.  Option 1: Cut the median bar (the small bridge between the anterior and posterior faceplates) at the front of the moveable zip head in half with wire cutters. This will cause the zipper to fall apart, freeing the skin relatively painlessly. Option 2: Use a small screwdriver and insert the thin blade between the outer and inner faceplates of the zip fastener. Use a twisting motion toward the median bar to widen the gap between faceplates and help disengage the skin. Option 3: If that doesn't work, use pliers to apply pressure to the zipper and then, cut the teeth of the closed zipper to release the skin. Once the zipper has been released the skin is going to be sensitive and sore. However, it's important to properly clean and treat the affected...

Severe throat pain is usually the first sign of strep throat. You may still have strep throat even if you are only experiencing moderate throat pain, but a mild sore throat that is easily remedied or soothed is not likely to be caused by strep.  The soreness should not be dependent on anything such as talking or swallowing. Soreness that can be dulled with pain medication or partially soothed with cold liquid and food might still be related to strep throat, but it is usually quite difficult to rid yourself of the soreness completely without prescription medication. If your throat is only moderately sore but becomes very painful when you swallow, you may have strep. Pain during swallowing that makes it difficult to swallow is especially common in people suffering from strep throat. While bad breath does not occur in all patients, the infection caused by streptococcus bacteria can often cause notably bad breath. This occurs as a result of the reproduction of the bacteria.  While potent, the exact smell can be difficult to describe. Some state that it smells like metal or hospitals, while others compare it to rotten meat. Regardless of the exact odor, "strep breath" will smell stronger and worse than normal bad breath. Due to the somewhat subjective nature of “bad breath,” this is not really a way to diagnose strep throat, but rather a commonly seen association. Lymph nodes trap and destroy germs. The lymph nodes in your neck will usually be swollen and tender to the touch if you have strep throat.  While lymph nodes are located in various parts of your body, the first nodes to swell are usually those that are nearest to the source of infection. In the case of strep throat, the lymph nodes in and around your throat will be the ones to swell.  Use your fingertips to gently feel the area directly in front of your ear. Move your fingertips in a circular motion behind your ear.  Also check the area of your throat just below the chin. The most common site of lymph node swelling with strep throat is under your jaw,...

Sewing a lettuce edge hem works very well for knits or lingerie. You can either turn up a small (3/8-inch) hem and sew a zigzag stitch or use the zigzag stitch as the only hem. The sleeve will be edge finished with the zigzag stitch. When the hem is finished it will be wavy and look like a frilly lettuce leaf. This hem is good for feminine clothing and is a quick hemming finish. You could also serge edge the hem and, in fact, the serger does a better job than the sewing machine when sewing this hem.

Sewing in a patch is the most comprehensive, but also labour-intensive, way to fix a larger hole in the crotch of your jeans. This requires some basic command of a needle and thread or sewing machine, but when done well it could be neater and more reliable than gluing or ironing on a patch. Begin by finding a patch for the hole in your jeans.  If placing the patch on the interior, choose a colour that closely matches the colour of your jeans to make it look more natural. You can be creative with your patches if you want to make a statement or have some fun.  Make sure the patch material isn’t thicker than the material of your jeans. If it doesn’t give when you move, it will force the jeans to tear around it instead. Make sure there is no bunching or pulling or the patch will end up bulky and stressed. Unless you’d like to place a colourful or conspicuous patch over the damaged area, slide the patch into the interior of the jeans, which should be kept right-side out. Another option is to use an iron on patch. Instead of pinning it, you can iron it on and then sew it in for more durability. If you sew it in by hand use an overcast stitch. Poke the needle up through the patch near the edge. Plunge the needle and thread back down through the denim just outside the edge of the patch and somewhat forward from where your needle emerged, creating a single diagonal stitch. Once again poke the needle up through the underside of the patch (near the edge and slightly forward) to create another diagonal stitch on the underside of the material.  Repeat until you’ve covered the entire perimeter of the patch in diagonal stitches. When you’re done, do the entire process over again only this time, move in the opposite direction to create diagonal stitches that cross the first set you made. The resulting effect will look like a string of Xs. Be careful and make sure you are not sewing two sides of your jeans together, or sewing the material from the inside of the pocket to the jean leg or crotch. Now that the patch is firmly in...

Sewing is the queen of lost skills, so if you don't know even the most basic stitches, you really aren't alone. At minimum, though, you should know how to sew hems, repair small rips and tears, and attach buttons.  Learn a variety of basic stitches, including the straight stitch, the back stitch, the zigzag stitch, and the basting stitch. Invest in a sewing machine. As your sewing skills improve, consider buying a sewing machine of your own. You will probably be glad that you did. Fixing garments and creating projects from scratch will both be much easier if you learn to machine sew as well as hand sew. Sewing is not the only lost skill worth learning, of course. There is a wide range of other crafts and domestic abilities you can explore. You do not need to master all of them, but picking one or two you'd like to become great at can improve your standing as a domestic goddess.  Potential areas of interest could include gardening, crocheting, or knitting. You could also check out community craft websites, like Pinterest, to get more ideas. You can learn a lot by teaching yourself, but sometimes, the best way to learn a new skill or to advance an old one is to take an actual class on it. Look for cheap classes in your area or sign up for a class online.

Sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior, is considered such when your sexual urges and impulses begin to negatively impact your life. If you begin to feel overwhelmed by your sexual impulses, consider finding a counselor who can help you develop a treatment plan. Some warning signs to look out for include:  Considerable money spent finding ways to fulfill your sexual needs (for example, buying pornography, visiting strip clubs, or hiring sex workers)  Feeling driven to engage in sexual behaviors, but deriving no pleasure from them  Damage to interpersonal relationships, including those with intimate partners  Finding yourself having to apologize often for your behavior. Engaging in risky sexual behaviors that can cause both physical and interpersonal problems (for example, having sex without a condom, or having sex with an employee)  A large amount of time spent searching for sexual gratification, and/or a loss of productivity related to such Consider finding a counselor who specializes in sexual addiction. To find a therapist, you may wish to consult your doctor, contact your employer’s Employee Assistance Program, ask for a referral from your local community health agency, or do your own online research.  You may want to find a counselor who has a S-PSB (Specialist in Problematic Sexual Behaviors) or CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) certification. These certifications show that the counselor has received training in sexual behavior causes and treatments. Therapists are trained to be open-minded, nonjudgmental, and accepting of other people’s problems. Do not feel embarrassed or ashamed that you need to seek professional help. Therapists are also bound to confidentiality laws, and will protect your privacy, so long as you are not at risk of harming yourself or others, or you report abuse or neglect.

Sex doesn't have to be fast and furious. Keep your movements slow and steady and let stimulation build gradually. Instead of being forceful, tease and titillate your partner by holding back and varying the angle, speed and deepness of penetration. When both partners are ready you can speed up together for an explosive finish. One variation of this is called the "7 and 9" technique: keep yourself (and potentially your partner) stimulated without going over the edge of climax by alternating between seven fast strokes and nine slow strokes. One of the best ways to keep your energy up, prevent cramps and avoid premature ejaculation is to change positions, speeds and acts more frequently. When you feel yourself approaching orgasm, switch to a new position or stop to give your partner some manual or oral pleasure. Along with helping you last longer, this will give you a more interesting and varied sexual experience. If you feel yourself getting too close to climax, or just running out of steam, just stop for a few minutes. You can use this time to enjoy foreplay, talk dirty, or switch to stimulating your partner manually or orally. When you've had a chance to cool down, dive back in for another round of intercourse. Penetrative intercourse isn't the be-all and end-all of sex. You can give your partner a longer experience by taking the time to have great foreplay. Kissing, touching, pillow talk, and the use of toys or restraints can all make for awesome, memorable sex. Give your partner a lot oral and manual stimulation to get them ahead of you—or even get them to climax one or more times before penetration. If you make the most of several or all of the activities in your sexual toolbox, a few minutes of intercourse may be all either partner needs—or wants—to be satisfied. While some argue that there is little noticeable difference between different condoms, many men and women swear using thicker condoms can reduce sensitivity and let them hold off orgasm longer. Using lube in conjunction with a condom has also been...
