The simple, old-fashioned pole is used by most crappie fishermen, and it's quite effective. You can use an inexpensive cane pole or a fiber or graphite pole. Lightweight poles are usually best when you're fishing for crappie. If you'd rather use a rod and reel, that's fine, too. Jigs by far the most popular lures used to catch crappie. Don't rely on just one, though; the elusive crappie is picky, so you'll need an array of jigs to try on any given fishing expedition. They come in different weights, shapes, and sizes. Crappie generally bite on smaller jigs.  Jigs are covered with synthetic soft bodies that are made with many different types of materials and come in all kinds of colors and textures. Some soft bodies are made to look like a particular type of bait. If you'd prefer not to use a synthetic soft body, use minnows as bait. Crappie are attracted to minnows, so this is the most popular type of real bait used to fish them.

The simplest algebraic equations, those involving just a few variable terms with whole number coefficients and no fractions, radicals, etc., can often be solved in just a few steps. As with most math problems, the first step to simplifying your equation is to write it out! As an example problem, for the next few steps, let's consider the expression 1 + 2x - 3 + 4x. Next, search your equation for like terms. Remember that like terms have both the same variable(s) and exponent(s). For example, let's identify like terms in our equation 1 + 2x - 3 + 4x. 2x and 4x both have the same variable raised to the same exponent (in this case, the x's aren't raised to any exponent at all). In addition, 1 and -3 are like terms, as neither has any variables. So, in our equation, 2x and 4x and 1 and  -3 are like terms. Now that you've identified like terms, you can combine them to simplify your equation. Add terms together (or subtract in the case  of negative terms) to reduce each set of terms with the same variables and exponents to one singular term. Let's add the like terms in our example.  2x + 4x = 6x  1 + -3 = -2 After combining your like terms, construct an expression from your new, smaller set of terms. You should get a simpler expression that has one term for each different set of variables and exponents in the original expression. This new expression is equal to the first. In our example, our simplified terms are 6x and -2, so our new expression is 6x - 2. This simplified expression is equal to the original (1 + 2x - 3 + 4x), but is shorter and easier to manage. It's also easier to factor, which, as we'll see below, is another important simplifying skill. In extremely simple expressions like the one dealt with in the example problems above, identifying like terms is simple. However, in more complex expressions, like ones that involve terms in parentheses, fractions, and radicals, like terms which can be combined may not be immediately apparent. In these cases, follow the order of operations, performing operations on...

The simplest and quickest way to sleep better next to someone who snores is to simply buy a pair of ear plugs.  You will want to shop around for the type that fits your ears best.  Ear plugs can be found in almost any store that has basic medical supplies. You may need time to adjust to wearing the earplugs as you sleep. Most ear plugs are made of soft foam, which is placed inside the ear canal. White noise machines generate a continuous tone that helps cover-up other distracting noises.  By using a white noise machine, you will be less likely to be disturbed by any snoring throughout the night.  Some white noise machines produce only one sound, a gentle static that is considered pure white noise. If you prefer, other white noise machines will produce relaxing natural sounds such as that of ocean waves. White noise machines may have external speakers, however, most are used with earplug style headphones. Adjust the level of volume until you find an appropriate setting.  You want it to be loud enough to block out external noises but not so loud that it keeps you awake. For a cheaper alternative, you may use a fan or other such device to create a low level of white noise in the room. Many times the person who snores is unaware of the fact that they do.  Make sure that they are aware they snore and work together to find which solution works best for you both.  As difficult as it may be to try and sleep next to a snoring person, don't take it personally.  Remember that snoring is not a personal failure. There are methods they can use to stop snoring as much.  Learn more about these methods to try and restore restful sleep to you both. Although often times undesirable, if you are unable to sleep next to a snoring person, you may, want to sleep apart from one another.  Sleeping apart from the snorer will help improve your sleep.  Make sure your new room is far enough away, or quiet enough, to ensure that you are not still able to hear any snoring. Although it may seem like it, sleeping separately doesn't reflect...

The simplest method of using cinnamon is just to grab what you have in the cupboard. Add a dash or two where you see the ants entering the house. The cinnamon is so strong that it disrupts the trails the ants are trying to make, and they'll stop coming in that way. Instead of just sprinkling it, you can also use cinnamon to make a line that ants won't cross. If you see them in certain areas, try using a cotton swab to make a line across that area. Rub it in the cinnamon and spread it in a single, thin line. If you want to go a step further with your cinnamon, try using essential oil instead of the powdered stuff. It tends to be more potent. You can simply dip a cotton swab in it and then rub the oil along the areas where you've seen ants.  Some other essential oils may also repel ants. The easiest way to spread essential around your home is by making a solution with water. Then you just spray it around your home in areas where you've been seeing ants.  Start with a 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) of water and a 1/4 cup of vodka (60 milliliters). The vodka helps keep the solution mixed together well. However, if you don't have it, substitute extra water (another 1/4 cup) for the vodka, and shake well before each use. Add essential oils. Try adding 20-25 drops of cinnamon oil. Shake well. Try other essential oils. You'll need 15 drops of tea tree oil, 15 drops of peppermint oil, and 7 drops of citrus oil (such orange, lemon, or lime). You can substitute 3 drops of clove in place of the citrus. Shake thoroughly. However, if you want to use it in food areas, replace the tea tree oil with more peppermint oil. Another less messy option is using cinnamon sticks instead of the powder. Lay them out next to entrances you've seen. In fact, you can place sticks around anywhere you've seen ants. You can find cinnamon sticks in the bagged spice section of the grocery store.

The simplest option when it comes to folding pants for traveling is to make only vertical, lengthwise folds. This strategy is best for pants with "pleats" - vertical folds sewn into the fabric along the waist of the pants. If your pants have pleats, fold vertically along these. This way, even if the fold sets into the pants as a wrinkle, the long, continuous vertical wrinkles will look like the result of ironing. You may also fold the pants in half vertically to further save space. One of the big disadvantages of folding pants only vertically is that many suitcases simply aren't big enough to stretch the entire pant leg out in. If you're pressed for space, try rolling your pants. Fold the pants in half vertically and lay them on a clean, flat surface. Starting at the bottom, roll the pant legs into a tight bundle. This prevents wrinkles by exposing a minimum of the pants' surface area to other items in the suitcase and makes the pants take up relatively little space. If you can, you'll want to avoid folding dress pants horizontally, as this can contribute to creases that can't be explained away as the result of ironing. However, if you do fold your pants horizontally (this is usually done after folding the pants once vertically), you can minimize wrinkles by following the same rules as listed above for suit jackets - place only flat, folded items on top of them, place them in a bag if possible, and so on. One great idea for pants folded horizontally is to "sandwich" them within the two sides of the folded suit jacket. This provides them the protection of the inside-out jacket fabric as well as the jacket's bag.

The simplest way to calculate nominal GDP growth is by analyzing two consecutive periods. For this type of calculation, the formula is simply the  one for percent change. Specifically, it is NGDP Growth=NGDPx−NGDPx−1NGDPx−1{\displaystyle {\text{NGDP Growth}}={\frac {NGDP_{x}-NGDP_{x-1}}{NGDP_{x-1}}}}. In the formula, NGDPx{\displaystyle NGDP_{x}} represents the later period and NGDPx−1{\displaystyle NGDP_{x-1}} is the earlier.  Enter your own data to calculate nominal GDP growth. For example, if NGDP were $200 billion one period and $210 the next, your equation would be: NGDP Growth=$210B−$200B$200B{\displaystyle {\text{NGDP Growth}}={\frac {\$210B-\$200B}{\$200B}}} Simply perform the subtraction and division specified by the equation to solve. Your answer will be a decimal and must be multiplied by 100 to arrive at your growth rate in percentage form.  Using the previous example, the equation would first solve to NGDP Growth=$10B$200B{\displaystyle {\text{NGDP Growth}}={\frac {\$10B}{\$200B}}}. Then, dividing gives NGDP Growth=0.05{\displaystyle {\text{NGDP Growth}}=0.05}. Finally, multiply by 100 to get NGDP Growth=5%{\displaystyle {\text{NGDP Growth}}=5\%}. Your nominal GDP growth rate between the two periods is 5 percent. Cumulative growth refers to the total growth in nominal GDP between non-consecutive periods. It is calculated the same way as consecutive growth, by substituting NGDPx{\displaystyle NGDP_{x}} for a later period and NGDPx−1{\displaystyle NGDP_{x-1}} for the earlier one. Use the method described for calculating simple NGDP growth to find cumulative growth.  For example, imagine that a record of nominal GDP growth shows a value of $200 billion one year and $280 billion five years later. The cumulative growth can be calculated as 40 percent using the above method. Average growth can show you how much a figure grew each period during a longer time period. You might think that the average growth would simply be the cumulative growth divided by the number of periods, but this is not the case....

The simplest way to keep your cheese cool in a hot smoker or grill is to place a large pan of ice . Put a grate over the pan for the cheese to rest on, then skip down to the "Light a flavorful smoke source" step. If you don't have room for the ice pan, or you are concerned about the moisture slowing the smoking down, try the next step instead.  If you have the space, fill a colander with ice instead and put it over a pan to catch drips. This makes it easier to replace the ice. Read the section on preparing the cheese if you haven't already. Take a clean, sturdy tin can, such as a soup can holding at least 10 oz. (300 mL). You'll use this as an undersize chimney starter, keeping the fire small and low-temperature. If you have a large smoker, you may need to use a larger coffee can instead to get enough smoke density. If using ice, start the fire as normal, using three or four small charcoal briquettes (or an electric smoker's heating element). Use a pan of flavorful wood chips or pellets directly over the heat to create the smoke. (See the tips section below for advice on flavors.) If you are using the tin can, there are two options available:  Tin can method A: fill half the can with charcoal briquettes. Fill the next ¼ of the can with water-soaked wood chips, then the rest of the can with dry woodchips.  Tin can method B: Punch a hole in the can near the upper rim. Stick a brand-new, soldering iron into this hole, then fill about half the can with wood pellets (no charcoal necessary). Plug in the soldering iron to start the fire.Never use a soldering iron that has been used for soldering, or the smoke will contain toxic chemicals. Adjust the air vents until plenty of smoke is produced, but the wood is burning slow and steady. With the smoke source at the base of the smoker or grill, add the cheese pieces over the top grate. Close the smoker or grill. If the day is windy, you can cover the closed device with a tarp to keep the smoke inside. With these methods, it's a smart idea to check the cheese every 15 to...

The simplest way to locate previous cost data is with your own memory. Perhaps there is some item at the grocery store or shopping mall that you've been buying for years at the same price. This could be a staple of your weekly grocery shopping trips or a clothing item you buy regularly. For example, imagine that the price of a gallon of milk has been $2.50 for a number of years. This represents the previous price for the purpose of your cost increase calculation. If the price of an item you've purchased in the past has increased, you can now calculate a cost increase percentage for the item. However, you will need the item's current cost first. Check the store for the current price of the item in question. For example, imagine that a gallon of milk, that has always gone for $2.50, is now priced at $3.50. You can now calculate the cost increase percentage to know just how much you are being charged at the new price in relation to the old price. Before comparing, make sure both values (your previous and current values) refer to the same product. If one is better in some way, your costs are not directly comparable. In some cases, locating previous cost information is not as simple as remembering the former cost of an item. For example, when comparing costs from long ago to now or finding cost increases on an item you've never purchased you'll need to locate cost information elsewhere. The same is true for cost measures (rather than items), such as the consumer price index (CPI), a measure of average consumer prices in the U.S., or the purchasing power of the U.S. Dollar.  In these cases, you will need to do some online research to locate previous cost figures. Try typing in the item and year you are interested in, along with "cost" or "value," to locate cost information for that time. For example, cost information for various consumer goods from 1900 until the present can be found at http://mclib.info/reference/local-history-genealogy/historic-prices/. For all historical cost information you locate, you will...

The simplest way to track what you eat and drink is by setting up your diary in a notebook or downloading a food journal app on your phone. You'll need to be able to keep track of the date, time, place, item eaten, quantity consumed, and extra notes.   If you like to write things down by hand, use a blank notebook or purchase a daily diary with enough space on each page to record your intake for the day.  You can even search online for sample food diary pages that you can print and use or copy into your notebook. You can use an app or an online tracking device if you prefer. Since food journaling has become so popular, there are a variety of good apps to choose from. The most accurate food journal will most likely be the most helpful as well.  Try to jot down or take note of everything that goes into your mouth.  Include all meals, drinks, snacks and even nibbles of food you eat while you cook.  Be very specific and break complicated foods down by ingredient. For example, instead of writing down the "turkey sandwich," write out the quantity of bread, turkey, and condiments as separate entries. Handle other mixed foods, like casseroles and smoothies, in a similar way.  This will help you remember what is in foods or the total amount of calories. Don't forget to record snacks or random odds and ends you eat, like a cookie offered at work.  Record all beverages. Don't forget to track your total water intake as well.  Tracking how much water you drink will give you insight into whether or not you need to consume more water to help you stay hydrated. If you're concerned about how many calories you consume, writing down the quantities you eat is important data to include in your diary. You might want to purchase a food scale or measuring cups to help ensure your quantities are correct.  Before making changes to how much you eat, start by measuring the food that you'd normally serve yourself at each meal.  If the portions are too big or too small, make any necessary adjustments. Keep measuring your foods or using...

The simplest way to turn a canoe is probably the most intuitive — assuming you are sitting in the stern (rear) or center of the canoe, simply paddle as you normally would on one side to eventually start turning in the opposite direction. That is, to turn left, paddle on the right side, and to turn right, paddle on the left side. You should notice the course of the boat change slightly with each stroke. This method is great for gentle corrections in course because, while it doesn't turn the boat quickly, it doesn't slow you down either. For instance, if you see a sandbar jutting out of the water 100 meters ahead, it's probably appropriate to use this turning style to get around it — you're in no hurry. While canoeing, you'll eventually find that, while paddling on one side of the boat is an effective way of steering in many situations, there are plenty of times when quicker turns are required. One of the simplest ways to turn is called a J stroke. To use this technique, you'll ideally want to be sitting in the stern of the boat.  To do a J stroke, put your paddle into the water behind you so that it is nearly flat against the side of the boat, which it should be almost touching. As you do this, twist your torso so that your shoulders point parallel with the sides of the boat. Use your core and torso muscles to turn back to a forward-facing position — this should make the paddle turn out to the side a little and the boat should turn to the same side as the paddle is on, just like if you were using a rudder. Avoid over-using this stroke. While it will make you turn quickly, it will also slow down your forward momentum. The J stroke discussed above is actually just a smaller version of a special paddle technique called a "back sweep." By increasing the size of the back sweep, you'll increase the speed at which you turn. However, larger back sweeps will also make you slow down more, so you'll want to reserve them for situations when you need them or you'll have to paddle hard to build up speed again. To do a back...

The simplest, most direct way to kill a wasp is to smack it with a flyswatter. Wait until the wasp lands on a surface to rest. Swat it when it's motionless and continue to do so until it's dead. Only use a swatter if you are trying to get rid of one wasp or a small group in a concentrated area. Don't attempt to swat wasps if you have slow reflexes or haven't practiced swatting, as you are likely to get stung when the wasp flies away and tries to defend itself. Turn on the vacuum and place it about 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) from the wasps. After you have vacuumed all the wasps, suck up 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of cornstarch to incapacitate them. Open the vacuum canister while it is still running, tape the opening of the bag, and then turn the vacuum off. Remove the bag and put it in a freezer overnight before throwing it away.  Choose a vacuum that has a removable bag. Vacuum wasps as spring arrives, right when they start coming out of hibernation. They tend to be slow and sluggish, making it easier to catch them and sweep them away. Flowers, food, and drinks can all attract wasps. Move flowers to the far side of your yard and be sure to clean up all food and drinks. At the end of the summer, wasps are most attracted to sugary drinks and foods. At the beginning and middle of the summer, they are more drawn to meat. Cover your food with resealable silicone lids, and avoid plastic and cling film.  Move potted flowers away from your house and avoid using sweet or floral perfumes, shampoos, lotions, or soaps. Do not let food linger outside, especially in the heat.

The singer should be a trained vocalist, as power metal music can be extremely vocally demanding. Many Power Metal vocalists choose to sing in a high vocal register, but this is not a necessity. Lyrics are generally high fantasy themed, featuring references to Elves, Dragons, Lord of the Rings, and other fantastical elements, though your songs should be about whatever you want them to be about. Many bands choose to tell fantastical, epic stories through their music. Mastodon even recorded a concept album about Moby Dick. A common element of most power metal songs is the fast, intense instrumentation. This makes power metal parts particularly difficult to play, so start by writing them and practicing at a comfortable speed and gradually speeding up as you learn the parts. You will probably find yourself writing songs between 150 and 200 bpm, so you will need a drummer who can keep up. In particular, power metal drumming is important in dictating the rhythmic drive of the music. You will want a drummer who can keep good time, hopefully with two bass drums and double kick pedals, and to use these quite frequently. The rhythm guitar is the backbone of power metal music, playing the chord progressions that compose the "meat" of the song. Playing a power chord, then picking the root note palm muted is a very common rhythm guitar technique in power metal. However, power chords don't necessarily have to be built off of the root note of a chord. For example, in pre-choruses, going up or down a third can sound very epic, and builds up nicely to the chorus being on the root note. Key changes can sometimes be found in the final choruses of some songs, where the main progression is moved up a tone. Minor and harmonic minor scales are great to use, while some modes, such as phrygian and dorian can also be useful. Guitar harmonies are very common as well, with third and octave harmonies being the most common. Quartal (fourth) harmonies are not as common. Sweep picking, tapping and fast alternate picking are commonly used...

The single best thing you can do to avoid ever seeing a shark is to simply pay attention to any and all safety information at the beach. Heed any posted signs and listen to the instructions of authority figures like lifeguards, beach patrol personnel, and park rangers. If certain activities like diving, kayaking, surfing, and so on are prevented in the water, don't do them. These rules exist to keep you safe. Sometimes, authorities make the decision that the easiest way to protect beachgoers is to keep them out of the water entirely. Though it can be disappointing to go to the beach and learn that it's been closed, don't try to disobey these rules. Their goal is not to ruin your good time, but to save lives. Most sharks hunt at these times and are naturally more active and aggressive when hunting. Stay out of the water at these times to avoid encountering a shark when it is likely to be hungry and actively searching for food. In addition, you are at a big disadvantage in the water when it's dark out. Since you have close to zero visibility, you are unable to see any sharks that you do come across. On the other hand, since sharks' other senses are more powerful than ours, they can navigate very well in the dark. Just as lack of visibility during dawn, dusk, and nighttime can make you extra-vulnerable to shark attacks, so too can water conditions that limit your visibility. As noted above, sharks have powerful senses besides their vision that can lead them to prey even when it's hard for them to see. Since humans lack these senses, we're much more likely to be taken by surprise by sharks in low-visibility water. Give yourself the best possible chance to see danger coming by swimming only in clear, non-turbulent water. Sharks are more likely to be where easy sources of food are. To keep your chances of encountering a shark at a minimum, stay far away from these places. Areas with commercial fishing activity can be especially dangerous since fishermen sometimes use pieces of chopped up fish as bait, which can...

The single biggest thing most people who view themselves as losers can do to improve their social situation is to get a greater sense of self-confidence. This is related to having a good sense of self-worth. When you believe that social situations aren't scary and that you have what it takes to have a good time talking to people you don't know, it becomes so much easier to actually do it. There are many, many guides on the internet that can give you different instructions for improving your self-confidence (including wikiHow's How to Be Confident). Below are just a few of the most common tips you'll find:  Spend a few minutes imagining yourself having a great time in an upcoming social situation. Imagine what you're saying and what you're doing, then use this as a guide. View social failures as instances in which you learned a lesson. Listen to exciting or uplifting music to "pump yourself up" before social situations. Don't give yourself to dwell on what could go wrong. Just jump in to social situations that have you worries! Ask yourself, "What's the worst that could happen?" In most social situations, the answer is, "Not much." If you can rely on yourself, rather than others, for your happiness, you don't have to worry about having a bad time in any social situation you may take part in. Try to keep your thoughts positive when you're about to be in a social situation you're dreading. Don't think about what could go wrong — instead, think about what could go right! Think of the people you could meet, the good impressions, you could make, and the fun you could have. Generally, unless you're really unlucky, reality will turn out to be closer to this possibility than to one where you embarrass yourself and leave unsatisfied. When you can't think of anything to say in a social situation, it's almost never a bad idea to ask the person you're talking to about herself. Doing this shows that you're interested in what she has to say and keeps the conversation active and interesting. While you listen to your...

The single most important thing when it comes to effective advertising is to know your audience. Think about it. The ad that appeals to retired men is very different from an ad designed for teenage girls.  If you are not in tune with your audience, you will be unable to create an advertisement that resonates with them in any way and your product/service will go unnoticed by a huge proportion of your key market. Be smart with your advertising and tailor it specifically for your audience. Otherwise you will be throwing away money. The key demographics that you need to consider are gender and age range. With gender, your target market can be classified into male, female and adult (when the number of males and females are fairly even). In terms of age range, your customers may fall into one or more standardized age brackets used within the industry. These are as follows: 12-24, 18-34, 18-49, 25-54, or 50+. Be aware that your customer base may shift over time as a result of external factors such as the opening or closing of similar businesses, and the changing age demographics of your local community. It is important to be aware of these changes, as your advertising needs will change with them. Once you have identified your audience, the next step is to ensure that your advertisements are properly placed to reach that audience.  Your ad may be perfectly calibrated to appeal to your target market, but if the location is wrong, your audience might never get a chance to see it/hear it. For example, a radio ad for denture adhesive may not work well on a top 40 music station, while an ad for teen-targeted haircare products might not be ideal in a newspaper. Think about where your target audience is most likely to see the ad, don't make decisions based on your own personal preference. Don't advertise on the radio just because you listen to the radio, and don't jump on the internet bandwagon just because it's the fashionable thing to do. Do your research and make your decision based on your customers and your customers...

The sinkhole may be larger underground than it appears on the surface. To determine the true extent of the sinkhole, use a shovel to expand the size of the sinkhole. Remove the sod around the edges of the sinkhole and make sure the surrounding ground is solid. Continue to remove the edges of the hole until you reach a point at which the topsoil and sediment are supported by solid rock. Also remove any loose debris that may be in the sinkhole: tree branches, pinecones, etc. Start out by pouring about a third of the concrete mix into a large basin, such as a wheelbarrow. Pour in about 1 US-quart (946 ml)  of water, and mix thoroughly with a hoe, shovel, or paddle mixer. Continue to add water until the concrete is wet throughout and a heavy putty consistency. Add gravel for increase the strength of the concrete.  You can buy 80-pound (36 kg) bags of quick-mixing concrete at your local hardware store or home-supply store. The size and depth of the sinkhole will determine how much concrete you need to mix. Using the wheelbarrow and the shovel, pour wet concrete into the bottom of the sinkhole. This will prevent the sinkhole from deepening further, and will give a solid base to the subsequent materials you use to fill the hole. Aim to fill at least a quarter of the hole with concrete. So, if the sinkhole is 4 feet (1.2 m) deep, fill it with 1 foot (0.3 m) of concrete.  You do not need to let the concrete dry before you move on to filling the hole with sand and soil. A “plug” simply means that you’ll fully fill the bottom of the sinkhole with concrete.

And the "Keep Selection Centered" option allows you to view the satellite's progress without intermittently adjusting the screen.

The six 2” x 4” x 10' rafters that will support the roof can be fastened to the core box in one of two ways: the notch method or the hanger method. In either case, the front rafter and back rafter should be fastened flush with the front beam and the back beam. The remaining four rafters should be arranged equidistant from each other, along the length of the 16-foot side beams, about every 3–4 feet (0.9–1.2 m).   To notch the rafters, the idea is to rest them on edge of the beams. To do this, put the front rafter in position, and note where it comes into contact with the side beams with a pencil mark. At that point, notch the rafter with the circular saw so that in the finished position the rafter sinks about 1/3 of the four inches onto the beam. Once you are satisfied with how this first rafter rests on the side beams, take it down and use it as a template to notch the other five rafters. When fastening the rafters, angle nails through the side of the rafter into the beam below. Note that notching will not work if you need it to remain flush with the beam.  To hang the rafters, buy some metal joist hangers at the hardware store. There are many different shapes and styles of metal hangers that fasten 2” x 4”s to other structural elements in a variety of orientations. The relevant angle in this structure, the angle of the rafters to the beams, is about 25 degrees. These metal hangers can bend to accommodate small variations, so don't worry about finding the perfect one. Unlike with the notch method, with the hanger method the rafters rest on top of the beams. Your nails will go through the hanger into the rafter, then into the beam. Arrange the plywood sheets so that they produce a six-inch overhang on the front and back of the carport as well. This way you will have a uniform look to the carport.  Buy plywood sheets as large as you can get them. Typically, they come in 4' x 8' sheets, but sizes vary. The entire roof surface is 10' x 17'. Cut elements with the circular saw to produce the fewest number of seams....

The size does not matter, but it must be rectangular. Something around 8 1⁄2 by 11 inches (22 by 28 cm) would be better, though.  For a traditional lantern, choose red paper. If you want a less-traditional lantern, you can pick a color you like.

The size of the circle is completely up to you—small circles will make small pompoms, and bigger circles will make bigger pompoms. You should have two identical half circles. Cut down the paper you are going to use so that it is significantly smaller than your sheet of scrap paper. Then, place one sheet of paper flat on top of the scrap piece. Keeping it flat on the scrap paper, evenly divide the honeycomb paper into 4 to 8 sections (depending on how large your paper is). Instead of folding the honeycomb paper, draw lines on the scrap paper where each fold would be. Alternate mark colors every other line.  If you do not have scrap paper, you can make these marks directly on your paper, using a pencil or thin pen. If you are using a piece of paper that is 4.25"x5.5" (half of an 8.5"x11" piece of paper), consider spacing your lines between 1 1/4 and 1 3/4 inches apart. Keeping your honeycomb paper flat on the scrap paper, run the glue stick vertically across the honeycomb paper where you have made marks in that color. If you are using a thin paper, such as tissue paper, hold it firmly and gently work your glue stick from the middle of the paper to the edges to prevent tearing. Rub firmly to make sure it sticks. Apply glue along the lines of the opposite color as last time. Place another piece of tissue paper on top and rub across to ensure the glue sticks. Be sure that you alternate glue lines between each sheet to continue the honeycomb effect.  For a multi-colored pompom, change the color of your paper halfway through the gluing process. For a stripe pattern, change the color of your paper every 5 sheets or so. When you're done gluing sheets of paper, place one of the semicircles on top of the paper and trace loosely around it. Then, cut out the paper so that it is very slightly larger than the cardboard. Once you have cut out the honeycomb paper, glue one piece of cardboard onto each side. To ensure a uniform effect, pull the threaded needle at the top corner of your semicircle. Tie a loose knot, cut the...

The size of the patio determines the amount of concrete required and whether you will need a mixer. If the patio is too large in area, it might not be an easy DIY job. The location is also important. You want to choose a mostly even area so you don't have to level the uneven ground before you lay the concrete.  Check local building codes to find out if a permit is required, how far the patio has to be from property and house lines, or any other county or city regulations. Before you dig anywhere in your yard, find out where septic tanks, underground lines, or other utilities are located. Tie string between the stakes and use a line level to determine the slope. The stakes and string will give you a good picture of how the patio will fit in your back yard. Adjust the area if needed.  Cutting the stakes to a pointed end may make them easier to drive into the ground.  If the ground is uneven, you have two choices: build up the low side or dig the high side out. This can be done with a hoe, a shovel, or other common gardening tools.

The size of the rod you buy should be determined by the size of the fish available to catch in your region.  For fish under 20 pounds, use a six-foot rod with at least a 10-pound test line. For fish over 20 pounds, use a seven-foot rod with at least a 20-pound test line. Longer rods are better for fishing from banks, as opposed to a boat, since they offer greater reach. Most sporting good stores sell starter tackle boxes that include a range of supplies to get you started. When it comes down to it, all you really need are sharp fishhooks, but some of the other accessories are nice to have.  Glow-in-the-dark bobbers can come in handy when you're fishing at night. Other types of bobbers can be helpful when you're fishing on a still pond. You'll also need buckets and coolers to hold your bait and any catfish you'll be bringing home. Some catfish enthusiasts swear by a specific type of bait, but the truth is that catfish will eat many different things. For your first few catfish expeditions, take a few different types of bait, so you can find out what the catfish in your region like to eat.  Try some of these options:  Try cut bait. Shad, herring, goldeye, and other baitfish release oils that attract catfish. Slices of these fish are particularly effective for catching channel catfish, which are the most common type of catfish in North America. You can also use live baitfish that haven't been cut. These won't release oil as readily, but they may be more appealing to catfish since they're alive. Experiment to see which one is better.  Try crawfish. Catfish in southern regions might eat crawfish, which is available at your local bait shop. Try nightcrawlers, which you can also buy at the bait shop. These worms are appealing to many types of fish.. If you don't want to make a run to the bait shop, you can use chicken livers or pieces of corn. Try an artificial bait. There are dozens of artificial catfish baits sold at sporting goods stores, many of which claim to have a magic ingredient for which catfish go wild....

The size of the slices are up to you, but they should be sliced thin enough that they're ready to serve. You can slice up the entire ham, or you can do a bit at a time if you're not serving many people at once. The foil will help to keep any moisture released from the ham slices inside the dish, which helps prevent the ham from drying out. The foil should be wrapped around the sides of the dish to prevent any heat from escaping. in the oven. The oven should be set to 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius). How long you have to reheat it will depend on how much the ham weighs. You should leave the ham in the oven for 10 minutes for every pound (0.5 kg) it weighs. About halfway through your cooking time, remove the foil from a corner of the baking dish. The slices should still look mostly pink. If you notice them turning white, they're drying out. Add a few tablespoons of water to the dish and put the ham back in the oven.

The size of the vegetable pieces, their variety and age, and your personal preference all dictate how long a vegetable should be cooked. Cooking several stir fries using your favorite vegetables will help you get a feel for how long each vegetable should stay in the wok.  If you find a particular vegetable in the stir fry too crunchy, add it earlier next time. If a vegetable feels too soft or falls apart, add it later next time. Carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli are often the culprits, since they are hard and can be difficult to cut into small pieces. If these or other tough vegetables take too long, you have a couple options:   Blanch them before frying. If your vegetable pieces are at least half an inch thick, steaming them for a short time will quickly make them softer. Always pat them dry before frying. Alternatively, add a small amount of water, broth, or dry sherry during the cooking. Cover for one to two minutes until the vegetables are tender, then continue stir frying as normal. You'll need to soak dried mushrooms for five to fifteen minutes or until tender before you can use them in a stir fry. Adding them dry will result in hard, chewy bits in your stir fry.  To soak dried mushrooms, boil some water, then remove from heat and add the mushrooms. Remove them from the water once they're plump, after three to five minutes. Dried shiitake are harder than other varieties, so they may need to be soaked for up to 10 minutes. After the stir fry has been taken off the heat, you might want to add a flavorful decoration that doesn't require cooking in the wok or skillet. For that perfect final touch, here are a few good options:  Sesame seeds or toasted nuts sprinkled over the stir fry add satisfying crunch. Parsley, basil, or other fresh herbs look attractive and add a pleasant scent. Sprinkle on a few thin slices of raw vegetables to add a brighter color and different consistency to the dish.

TL;DR in Russian:

The skillet should be heated over medium-high heat. Allow it to warm up for five minutes or so to ensure that it is appropriately hot. Do not use oil or cooking spray, since the nuts themselves contain enough oil to cook. It would be beneficial to use a non-stick skillet, however. The nuts should only be cooked on a single layer, and it is not recommended to toast a large batch that forms a multi-layer pile. It is generally a good idea to start with the "x" facing upward on as many of the nuts as possible, but it is not essential, since the walnuts will not stay in the same position for long. After the first minute or two, begin stirring the nuts. They can rest for 30 second intervals or so, but for the most part, the nuts should be stirred continuously to ensure even and thorough toasting. Use a heat-resistant spatula. The process may take a little longer or a little shorter depending on how hot the heating elements in your stovetop make the pan. Once the nuts begin browning and become very fragrant, they are ready to be pulled off. You should also dump them out of the pan since they will continue cooking there even after it has been removed from the heat.

The skin around your eyes is much thinner and more sensitive than the skin anywhere else on your body, and as such, it needs to be treated with extra care.  Eye creams are designed specifically for this type of skin and should be the only product (other than eye makeup) that is applied to this area. Always apply your eye cream using your middle or ring finger on your dominant hand.  The reason for this is that this finger is used the least and will be the most gentle. If your eye cream comes in a pump bottle, you'll need to pump a small amount of the cream onto the finger you're going to use, and add more as needed.  If you're eye cream comes in a tub-like container, you can simply dip your finger into that container as needed. After you've blended your eye cream into your skin, wait 1-2 minutes before applying any eye makeup.  This is especially important if you use any liquid types of eye makeup, as it may run if your skin is too damp. It is especially important to remove all your eye makeup at the end of the day, before you wash your face before bed.

The skin of a cucumber is coated in a protective wax. While you can eat this coating without much problem, the wax will distort the texture of cucumber juice. You can accomplish this task by using either a potato peeler or a sharp knife with a smooth blade. The bottom and top stem are hard, inedible parts that you should not attempt to turn into juice. The pieces can be up to 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) in height, width, and depth. Smaller pieces will also work, but you should avoid using pieces that are much bigger than that. You should leave a couple of inches in between the top cucumber pieces and the rim of the machine. Do not fill the food processor to the top. Run the machine for approximately two minutes. The mixture should be pulpy, but it does not need to be smooth. The strainer should be small enough to fit inside the mouth of the bowl, but if possible, you should use a strainer with a wide enough rim to rest on top of the brim of the bowl. By resting the strainer on top of the bowl, you free up both hands. Alternatively, use a jelly bag instead. The cloth will allow you to strain out more pulp. You can also line the strainer with coffee filters to create the same effect. Pour as much of the cucumber puree into the strainer as possible without causing the puree to overflow. By stirring the cucumbers, you encourage the juice to seep out and flow through the strainers, into the bowl. Continue stirring and pressing until no more juice comes out. You can also store fresh cucumber juice in a sealed container inside the refrigerator for one week.

The skin on your face and body is easily affected by things like stress, weather, and age, so it’s not uncommon to have a variety of products to address these changing needs.  When you shop for lotions, consider what your skin goals are and find a lotion that helps you achieve that goal.  In addition to products that treat the standard skin types, you can also find products geared towards:  Firming or toning Self-tanning Acne treatment Age defying or preventative treatments Wrinkle reducing Eczema treatment Even though you’re on your feet all day, many people forget to put lotion on their feet as well.  Like the hands, your feet take a lot throughout the day and also have delicate cuticles that need to be cared for.  Extremely dry feet can crack at the heel and be extremely painful or unsightly.  To help combat heel cracks and dry, scaly feet, apply a thick lotion to your feet when you get into bed.  This way your feet have all night to absorb the moisturizing nutrients.  For best results, you can put on a pair of thick socks after applying lotion to reduce the lotion wiping off on your sheets.

The skin on your face is more delicate than the rest of your body, so make sure the box specifically says the kit is safe to use on your face.If you don't want to deal with the messy wax, look for roll-on wax or kits that come with pre-waxed strips. Most home waxing kits are microwavable so you can easily heat them up in your kitchen. The last thing you want is to get wax in the rest of your hair, so make sure it is entirely off your face. Gather it back in a ponytail, and use an elastic or fabric headband to secure all of the hair behind your hairline. Remember to pin back your bangs, too. The only hair that should be free from the headband is the hair you plan to remove.  If you don't have a headband, you can use bobby pins or hair clips to secure your hair. You can also use a scarf to secure the rest of your hair and keep it out of the way. Make sure you have removed all of your makeup, and cleansed your skin of oil, dirt, and other debris. Waxing can leave your skin prone to bacteria, so it’s important that the skin around your sideburns is completely clean.  If you have sensitive or oily skin, apply a dusting of talc or baby powder to the area where you will be waxing. Don't wax if you've used a prescription retinoid or over-the-counter retinol in the last 10 days, or the waxing may rip your skin off along with your hair. Wait to wax if your skin is sunburned, peeling, or broken. For the most effective results, your hair must be the right length prior to waxing. Typically, you want it to be 0.25 to 0.5 inches (0.64 to 1.27 cm) long. Use a pair of small scissors to trim your sideburns until all of the hair is the appropriate length. Keep in mind that if there are any hairs shorter than 1/4-inch, the wax likely won't remove them. Make sure to follow the heating directions on the kit carefully. It’s especially important not to overheat the wax because you may burn yourself. You can test a little on the inside of your wrist to make sure the temperature is correct. The skin there is thin and should be a good...

The skin should start to soften. You may add Epsom salts, bath oils, or even tea if you like, but they're not necessary. Add 1 cup of apple cider vinegar if your calluses are harsh. (Warning: do not add vinegar if you have diabetes or poor circulation.) Be sure to periodically clean the stone or file. Do not overly scrub your feet/hands. 5 minutes is enough time.  You want to slowly take down the callus over a month or so.  If you begin to feel pain or after you have removed a couple layers of skin, stop. Do not use a pumice stone if you are diabetic. Use a washcloth to scrub your calluses. Make sure that you clean off all of the dead skin. Use a thick foot or hand lotion to hold in extra moisture. Lotions with Urea in them are particularly good.  If you are about to go to bed, put on socks or gloves to hold in the moisture and lotion. Repeat this entire process at the end of every week. Reapply lotion to the callused area after showering. Use a thicker cream for the best results.

The skipping side kick is used to bring you in range of your target so that you can make contact with the side kick. This kick is also called the hop step side kick. You should master the normal side kick before attempting the skipping side kick. You will usually begin from this position so it is best to practice from here. A common position is to stand with your left foot in front and right in back facing mostly sideways. Your right hand would be by your chin with your left 12-16 inches (30-40 cm) in front of your left shoulder. This gives you an advantage when you move forward into your kick later. Keep your knees bent so that you can move easily from this position. This is the “hop” or “skip” or the skipping side kick. Move forwards toward your target as you jump. You should be jumping off both feet at the same time. You will not be jumping in a huge leap forward. You will just be jumping to bring your body and leg to the right distance from your target for your side kick. The higher you can bring your knee to your chest, the higher you will be able to kick your target. You can make contact with either the sole or the heel of your foot.  If you are sparring, then it is better to strike with the sole of your foot. If you are trying to break something such as a brick or board you should use the heel of your foot. This way you drive all the strength and force of your kick through your heel, which is the strongest part of your foot. You will rotate your non-kicking foot until it is facing backwards to gain more power in your kick. As you straighten out the last bit of your knee, rotate your foot to bring the strength of your hip into the kick. This should be the same as the normal side kick. Bend your knee and then bring your foot down to the ground. You will land with your foot in front of you rather than bringing it back. It is equally important to practice this kick with the other foot as well. Keep practicing often with both legs to develop muscle memory for the kick. This will make it easier and quicker...

The slope of a line is defined by (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1) where X and Y are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of points on the line. You must define two points on the line to calculate this formula. The point closer to the bottom of the line is (X1, Y1) and the point higher on the line, above the first point, is (X2, Y2).  This formula can be restated as the rise over the run. It is the change in vertical difference over the change in horizontal difference, or the steepness of the line. If a line points upwards to the right, it will have a positive slope. If the line is downwards to the right, it will have a negative slope. A point on a line is given by the coordinate (X, Y) where X is the location on the horizontal axis and Y is the location on the vertical axis. To calculate the slope, you need to identify two points on each of the lines in question.  Points are easily determined when you have a line drawn on graphing paper. To define a point, draw a dashed line up from the horizontal axis until it intersects the line. The position that you started the line on the horizontal axis is the X coordinate, while the Y coordinate is where the dashed line intersects the line on the vertical axis. For example: line l has the points (1, 5) and (-2, 4) while line r has the points (3, 3) and (1, -4). To actually calculate the slope, simply plug in the numbers, subtract, and then divide. Take care to plug in the coordinates to the proper X and Y value in the formula.  To calculate the slope of line l: slope = (5 – (-4))/(1 – (-2)) Subtract: slope = 9/3 Divide: slope = 3 The slope of line r is: slope = (3 – (-4))/(3 - 1) = 7/2 Remember, two lines are parallel only if they have identical slopes. Lines may look parallel on paper and may even be very close to parallel, but if their slopes are not exactly the same, they aren’t parallel. In this example, 3 is not equal to 7/2, therefore, these two lines are not parallel.

The slow soak method is a preferred method of preparing beans if you've set aside enough time to soak overnight. Slow soaking ensures that the final product is fully cooked, not crunchy or underdone. If you choose the slow soak method, put the beans in a 5 qt. (4.7 l) saucepan and cover them with about 8 cups (about 2 l) of water. Put the lid on the saucepan and allow them to soak overnight in the refrigerator. For a faster soak, put the beans and water in a saucepan and bring them to a boil. Allow them to boil for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it with a lid and let the beans soak for at least 1 hour. If you leave your beans in cool water overnight, expect them to at least double in size. Make sure your cooking vessel is large enough to accommodate this transformation. Your beans are now ready to be cooked.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если у вас есть в запасе ночь, то замочите бобы на ночь. Если у вас не так много времени, то попробуйте быстрое замачивание. Дождитесь, когда бобы удвоятся или утроятся в размере, в зависимости от способа замачивания. Промойте бобы в дуршлаге после замачивания.


The small bushes that the beans will grow on will quickly become laden with heavy pods, and will sag over without the proper support. For this reason, it's important to plant stakes along your broad bean row to use to support them when they start to gain height.  Use small dowels spaced every foot or two along the row, with twine tied between, to give the plants something to lean on. You can use twine, or old strips of bed-sheet to gently tie the plants and keep them upright and keep the pods off the ground. Don't wait until you've got a huge plant and it's flopping over to stake them. It's very easy to damage the roots and promote mildew if the plant spends too much time flopped over on the ground before getting staked up. Broad beans can withstand dry spells, but keep the plants well-watered, especially if you live in an especially warm climate. Water the soil deeply in the coolest part of the day–first thing in the morning, or in the evening after dinner–and avoid over watering. You shouldn't see a bunch of standing water around your broad beans. Avoid overhead watering, which is watering the tops of the plants and letting it drip down into the soil. This will promote mildew and other problems. Water the soil. Broad bean roots are relatively shallow, making it very easy to accidentally uproot them if you're careless with a hoe. Weed around your broad beans by hand, keeping the area competition-free. Once the plant is established, you can lighten up on the weeding some. The plant will keep growing and will overproduce unless you stunt the growth by pinching off the new sprouts at the top of the plant as soon as you seen pods producing. At this point, you can harvest some of the leaves to eat, which are a surprisingly tender salad green. Pinch out the growing tips when you see young beans appearing at the base. Remove the tips with two leaves attached from the tops of the plants. If you don't want to eat them, compost them.

The small muscles at the base of your skull right above where your neck meets your head are your occipital muscles. Tightness here is responsible for a lot of pain and tension, and sometimes headaches and dizziness. The best way to relieve these muscles is with ball massage. Use a tennis ball, racquetball, small foam roller, or anything with a similar shape. Lie flat on your back face up and place the ball under your neck right at the base of your skull on either side of your spine. Turn your head side to side to roll over different areas. Do this for about 5 minutes, and be sure to massage both sides. Stand up straight. Tilt your chin to your chest. Interlace your fingers and place them behind your head. Do NOT pull downward on your head, but allow the weight of your arms to apply gentle downward pressure on your head and stretch the back of your neck. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat 3 times or more. Stand or sit up straight. Keeping your nose facing straight ahead, bring your right ear to your right shoulder.  Rest your right hand on the side of your head and allow the weight of your arm to gently pull, stretching the left side of your neck. Again, do not actively pull on your head – just let the weight of your arm apply gentle traction.  If your shoulders slump forward, bend your left elbow and place your left arm behind your back with your palm facing outward (when your head is tilting to the right). Do this for 30 seconds on each side, repeating 3 times. Your sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle is that strong, thin muscle that stretches from right behind your ear down to about the middle of your throat (it connects to the end of your collarbone close to your midline), creating the little V-shaped divot at the front of your throat.  You should be able to feel this strong band of muscle. Find it and gently massage it by pinching and rolling it lightly between your fingers. Go up and down the length of the muscle.  Don’t push too deep into your neck where you might hit other tender places. The massaging motion is...

The small sensors in camera phones cannot run at high ISO speeds (i.e. high sensitivity to light, permitting indoor photos without a flash) without introducing large amounts of noise. In most circumstances, this precludes indoor photos other than in the best-lit places.  If you have to shoot indoors, consider what artificial lighting sources you have. Avoid fluorescent light, as it can cast a green tint on your subjects.   Make sure you camera is stable in low light. Camera phones slow the shutter speed in low light, and this can capture any movement you make and blur your photo. This will either force the camera to under-expose the rest of the shot, or cause the camera to blow out the highlights on the brightest parts of the shot. The latter is worse, since it is sometimes possible to extract details from parts of the image that are too dark, but impossible to recover blown highlights (since there is no detail therein to extract). On the other hand, this can be used to artistic ends, such as with bright light streaming through a window.  People pictures will look best in diffuse lighting such as open shade, under a cloudy sky, or in bright artificial light.  Try to include bright colors, which will show up well, rather than a range of light and dark areas (which will both lose detail). Due to their very short focal lengths (the distance between a camera's optical elements and the sensor, again, owing to their small sensors), camera phones excel at shots where nearly all of a scene is in focus. However, this (and their typically weak auto-focus mechanisms) usually precludes focusing on objects very close to the phone, or having a very shallow depth of field to get a blurred background effect (which can, with varying degrees of authenticity, be faked in software later anyway). Mirrors also often end up confusing auto-focus mechanisms. Get outside and get someone to take the photo for you. If you'd rather take the picture yourself, most camera phones have an auto-timer feature so you can set the phone somewhere...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не фотографируйте при плохом освещении, по крайней мере, если вы хотите, чтобы объект был освещен равномерно. Избегайте ярких бликов и других высветленных пятен. Избегайте кадров, требующих точной фокусировки. Избегайте фотографий перед зеркалом и селфи, сделанных с вытянутой руки. Выберите крупный и заметный объект. Наконец, сделайте снимок. Сохраните фотографию на телефоне, при желании скопируйте ее на компьютер для редактирования и покажите своим друзьям!


The smaller the glass, the less you pour. Therefore, having smaller glasses can help curb your alcohol consumption. Try to drink in moderation. For women, that means one drink a day. For men, that means two drinks a day until age 65, then you should switch to a single drink a day. Some people use alcohol to slow down after a day's work. Instead, try finding other ways to wash away the day. For instance, consider doing some exercise, like taking a walk around the park. Another alternative is meditation or deep breathing techniques. Yet another option is spending time with your family and friends or going and doing something you enjoy. Give yourself at least one alcohol-free day a week. Even skipping one day can help you lower your overall intake. Once you skip a single day a week, try moving towards two days a week. This also gives your body the time it needs to repair any damage caused by the alcohol. For instance, if you only have one bottle of your favorite alcohol on hand, when it's finished, it takes much more of an effort to go to the store and buy another bottle than if you were to just grab your back-up bottle from the pantry. This can help limit how much you consume. Similarly, try buying other non-alcoholic drinks that you like and have them on hand instead.

TL;DR in Russian:

Заведите более мелкие бокалы. Выпивайте около одной порции в день. Найдите другие способы расслабляться. Сделайте разгрузочный день. Не держите дома большое количество спиртных напитков.


The smell of cigarette smoke is a scent that lingers and is hard to get rid of. If your teenager has been smoking, it is almost guaranteed that you will be able to smell it on their clothes or in their hair (especially if they have longer hair). Note: Sometimes teenagers try to cover up the smell of smoke by overcompensating with cologne or body spray. You will still be able to smell the smoke, but it might be partially masked by the perfume. Kids will often try to air out or vent their room by leaving the window open after smoking in their room. It might be normal for your child to want their window open, but pay special attention if they insist on doing it even when the weather is unpleasant (too hot, too cold, rainy, etc.). Teenage smokers are less experienced and have worse hand-eye coordination than adults. So, they are more prone to accidentally burning things if they start smoking. Watch out for burn marks on the carpet in their room or on their clothing. Also look for burn marks in their car, as many teens think they can mask the smell of the smoke more effectively in their car then in their room. It may be hard to notice these tiny objects, but if your teenager has recently started carrying around or purchasing lighters and/or matches, this may be a sign that they are smoking. They may claim that they only want it for lighting candles, but notice the frequency with which they use the matches or lighter to determine if you think they are smoking or not. Teenage smokers can be very persuasive, so other teenagers often succumb to existing peer pressure to smoke. Teens with friends who smoke are much more likely to start smoking than those without smoker friends. Smokers can be very conscious of the fact that smoking makes their breath smell distinctively like cigarettes. So they often try to counteract this effect by chewing gum or using mouthwash after smoking. If your child appears to be worrying to an extreme about how their breath smells, they might be trying to hide the fact that they are smoking...

TL;DR in Russian:

Понаблюдайте, не пахнет ли одежда (или волосы) ребенка дымом. Понаблюдайте, не оставляет ли ребенок открытыми окна в спальне. Обратите внимание на дырки в ковре, в машине или на одежде. Обратите внимание, не носит ли ваш ребенок спички или зажигалку в рюкзаке / кошельке. Понаблюдайте, с кем общается ваш ребенок. Обратите внимание на то, насколько часто подросток использует средство для полоскания рта или жует жвачку. Посмотрите на то, как ваш ребенок тратит деньги.


The smell of onions can actually stay on your breath for a few days after eating them. Luckily, there are certain foods you can eat after having onions to get rid of onion breath. For fresh breath after an onion dish, try eating or drinking:  Kiwi Fresh parsley Raw mushrooms Eggplant Raw apples Lemon juice Green tea Onion smell even gets into your hair, and this can be difficult to remove sometimes. When your hair does smell like onions, or other cooking smells, get rid of the odor by:  Mix ⅛ cup (29 ml) of shampoo with a teaspoon (5 g) of baking soda and a tablespoon (5 ml) of lemon juice. Wash your hair with the mixture, lathering thoroughly and rubbing the mixture into your scalp as well. Rinse your hair with clean water.

The smell of smoke will give you away, and your parents will catch you. You might be able to mask the odor with air-fresheners, but this is only a temporary fix, and the smell will linger. Also, smoking in the vicinity of your parents is going to increase the chance of them catching you.  If someone else in the household smokes, then smoking in the house is less risky. There is still the danger that your parents will see you smoking or find your cigarettes. Don’t keep your cigarettes or other smoking supplies in the house; your parents may discover them. Hide them outside or give them to a friend to hold. Have a fan pointed out the window to blow the smoke out of the house. Use activated charcoal, available at hardware or pet stores, to absorb any smell of smoke that remains within the house. Air-filters will also help to prevent the smoky odor from spreading through the house. Burning a citronella or other scented candle may mask the smell, but your parents might also be suspicious that you are trying to hide an odor, especially if you don’t normally burn candles.  Make sure you collect the ashes and then dispose of them, preferably down the toilet or in a trash can away from your house. Use a mug or other ash tray to catch the ashes to keep them from falling to the floor or getting on your clothes. Make sure to sweep or vacuum up any errant ashes that do get on the floor or furniture. Smoking too close to home will raise the risk that your parents will see you. Also, there is a chance that one of your neighbors will see you smoking, and they may inform your parents. Schools are usually drug-free zones, which means the penalty for smoking is greater than in other places. Also, if a teacher catches you smoking, your parents will almost certainly be informed. Even if you are nowhere near your house, smoking in public, particularly if you are under 18, is not a good idea. There is the chance that someone you know will see you, and your parents will find out. If you have a friend who is allowed to smoke, go to...

The smoking technique can be used on any type of meat, but it's usually best for tough cuts that need a long, slow cooking time. The slow cooking process breaks down the fat and connective tissue so that the meat becomes extremely tender. You also want to choose meat that will taste good with a smoky flavor. Here are a few types of meat that taste great smoked:    Beef ribs,  brisket, corned beef   Ham, pork crown roast, pork spare ribs   Turkey and chicken drumsticks   Salmon, trout, lobster, tilapia It's common to use a brine, marinade or rub to add moisture and/or flavor to meat before smoking. Of course, the smoke itself will impart a huge amount of flavor, so it's not absolutely necessary to use one of these preparation methods - however, it can add an element of depth and ensure that your meat comes out as juicy as possible.    Brining is often used to treat ham and poultry before smoking. If you plant to brine your meat, mix up a brine recipe and soak your meat in the brine overnight or for at least 8 hours. Keep the meat in the refrigerator while it brines. Be sure to remove the meat from the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature before you begin the cooking process.   Marinating is often used to treat brisket and other beef cuts before smoking. Use the same technique to marinate the meat. You can score the meat in a few places to help the marinade soak in. Drain the meat and bring it to room temperature before you cook it.   Rubs are commonly used to treat ribs before smoking. Rubs are usually made with a combination of salt and spices. The rub is applied all over the meat and left to rest for a few minutes before cooking. This is an important step to take before you begin smoking any type of meat. It will ensure that the meat cooks evenly and reaches the right internal temperature by the end of the cooking process. Depending on how large your cut of meat is, set it out on the counter 1/2 hour to 2 hours before you begin smoking it.

The snack bar may contain different components depending on when it is going to be consumed. The ingredients of a bar made for breakfast would typically differ from a bar made for post workout consumption. That doesn’t mean you can’t eat your snack bar anytime of the day; it just helps you supplement your diet with what is nutritionally required when you only have time for a meal replacement.  For a breakfast bar, you should aim to include protein, carbohydrates, fruit or veggies and some good fat into it. The bar should be large enough that when eaten with a glass of milk, you feel satiated. One and a half to 2.5 oz. (42 to 70 g) is a good starting point for the size of the bar. For a post workout bar, you should aim to have protein and carbohydrates. The bar should contain 12 to 18 g of protein and 50 to 75 g of carbohydrate per serving. For a general snack bar, you should aim for a bar that will satiate you until the next meal without filling you with empty calories. A breakfast bar or a post workout bar will work just fine as a snack. Whole grains and protein will help satiate you and won’t leave you feeling sluggish. It is important to keep the amount of fat down and the sugars to a minimum to avoid getting sleepy or crashing. The snack bar can be made into a soft, chewy bar that is more dense (consistency of a brownie), it can be very grainy and hard (consistency of granola cereal bar), or it can be grainy and chewy (chewy cereal bar).  For a soft, chewy bar you should use whole grain flours. Some good flours to choose from are whole wheat, whole white wheat, multi-grain, oat flour, and rye flour. These work well with savory as well as sweet bars and will add in extra fiber and vitamins. The whole grain flours also help manage blood glucose levels because the whole grains are less starchy and digest slower, keeping glucose levels in the blood steady. Since whole grain flours absorb more water (not just immediately, but also after they have been baked), it’s important to add more water to your recipe...

The snake braid will work best with clean, healthy, and moisturized hair that’s completely dry. In the shower or bath, wash your hair with a mild cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and styling products.  Condition your hair with your favorite conditioner, and after you rinse it out, towel dry your hair and let it air dry. If you're in a rush and need to blow dry your hair, apply a heat-protecting product beforehand. Like a regular braid, you can make a snake braid from a section of hair anywhere on your head, and you can also make it any size. If you're going to be creating a specific style with the braid, use that to guide you regarding where and how large to make the braid. To practice a basic snake braid, part your hair normally. On one side of your part, grab a small to medium section of hair from the center of your head, and use this to make your braid. To make a snake braid, you first make a regular braid. Comb the section with a wide-toothed comb to remove knots, and then divide the section of hair into three equal parts. To make a basic braid, hold the left section of hair in your left hand, hold the middle section of hair with the thumb and index finger of your right hand, and hold the right section of hair with the remaining fingers on your right hand.  Twist the right and middle sections of hair so the right section comes over top and becomes the middle section. Then, twist the left and middle sections so the left section comes over top and becomes the middle. As you weave the hair, be sure to shift the sections back and forth between your hands as they alternate between being the left, middle, and right sections.  Continue alternating the twists with the right–middle and left–middle sections so that the three sections become woven into one another. Stop when you reach the end of the sections and only have about one inch of unbraided hair left.

The sockets are color-coded to match the cable (Green, Blue, Red, White, Red) and are typically grouped and labeled. Look for the "Output" or "Out" group. The Green, Blue, and Red sockets (Video) may be separated from the Red and White pair (Audio), so make sure all five cords are plugged in.  You will notice that a component cable has two Red plugs, which can make things confusing. To figure out which is which, lay the cable out flat so that all of the prongs line up. The order of colors should be Green, Blue, Red (video), White, Red (audio). Some component cables only have the Green, Blue, and Red video plugs. You will need a separate Red and White plug audio cable in order to hear your DVDs, like the one found in the A/V section above. Like on the DVD player, these will be color-coded to match the cable and grouped into Input groups. Look for the "Input" or "In" group. They are typically numbered to indicate which Input you select on the TV. Match the colored plugs on the cable to the colored sockets on both the DVD player and TV. Insert a DVD so that you can test both the picture and the audio. Sometimes labeled "input," this button allows you to switch where your TV gets the video and sound information. The input you choose on the TV should match the input you used for the cables. If there is not a label or you don't know what input to use, leave the DVD player on and test each input for 5-10 seconds to see where the video appears If you are only getting video or only getting audio, or you aren't getting any signal at all, your cable may be plugged in incorrectly.  If the video is not showing up, make sure that the Green, Blue, and Red video cables are plugged into the correct Input on the TV and the correct Output on the DVD player. If the audio is not coming through, ensure that the Red and White cables are plugged into the correct Input on the TV and the correct Output on the DVD player. Double check that the Red cables are plugged into the correct sockets. If they are in the wrong ones, both the...

The sockets are color-coded to match the cable (Red, White, and Yellow). Look for the "Output" or "Out" group. The Red and White sockets (Audio) may be separated from the Yellow one (Video). The set of sockets are typically grouped together with a border or line indicating the included sockets. Like on the DVD player, these will be color-coded to match the cable and grouped into input groups. Look for the "Input" or "In" designation. A/V inputs are typically numbered to indicate which input you will need to select on the TV.  The input sockets are usually grouped together, and are often marked by a border or a line separating the group from the other Inputs. The Red and White sockets (Audio) may be separated from the Yellow one (Video). The labels should indicate which socket goes with which Input. Match the colored plugs on the cable to the colored sockets on both the DVD player and TV. The Yellow video plug may be a separate cable from the Red and White audio cable. Insert a DVD so that you can test both the picture and the audio. Sometimes labeled "input," this button allows you to switch where your TV gets the video and sound information.

The socks can be old or even mismatching, but they need to be clean and without any holes. Gently shake the socks to help get the baking soda all the way down to the toe area. You can also use a rubber band as well. Try to tie the socks off right above the bulge caused by the baking soda. The baking soda will absorb all of those nasty odors from your shoe, but the socks will help keep them clean. You won't have to worry about getting baking soda everywhere. You can also leave them there for much longer—up to 24 or 48 hours. During this time, the baking soda will absorb any bad odors. Keep in mind that the baking soda will eventually lose its deodorizing power. This is because it will have absorbed all of the odors in your shoes. You can expect the baking soda to last 1 to 2 months, however. Once the baking soda has lost its deodorizing power, you will need to dump the old baking soda out, and refill the sock with fresh baking soda.

The softer a guava is, the sweeter and more delicious it will be. Keep in mind that because guavas are best when extremely soft, they are also extremely perishable. Once you purchase or pick your guavas, you should have about two days before they go bad, depending on how ripe the fruit is when you purchase it. In order to tell if a guava is ripe, squeeze it gently. If it gives under your fingers, its ripe.    You want to try to select guavas that are blemish-free. Blemishes or bruises can mean the fruit is bad or will not taste good. Ripe guavas are those that have gone from bright green to a softer yellowish-green color. If you see a touch of pink on the fruit, it is in its prime. If you don't find any that are yellow, you can always buy green guava and wait for them to ripen. A perfectly ripe guava is one that you can smell without even putting it to your nose. It should smell sweet and slightly musky. If you have eaten a guava before, look for guavas that smell like they taste.

TL;DR in Russian:

Ищите самую мягкую гуаву, которую только можно найти. Посмотрите, нет ли на гуаве каких-либо пятен. Проверьте цвет гуавы. Прежде, чем выбрать, понюхайте гуаву.


The soil should be moist and rich to provide the right environment for the gardenia. This will give the gardenia's roots plenty of room to spread out. Remove the pot or any burlap or other substance from the gardenia plant's roots and place it in the hole you dug. Loosen the plant's roots or gently work them apart if it is root bound. Refill the hole with the soil you took out. Water the gardenia well to settle the soil. Use wood chips or pine straw to cover the area around the base of the gardenia. This will protect the roots from cool temperatures and prevent water loss in warm weather. Gardenias need regular water all summer long - at least an inch of rain or water per week. During times of heavy rainfall, there's no need to water. Monitor the soil and water the gardenia whenever the soil looks a little dry. Avoid wetting the leaves when you water the gardenia. Water close to the roots so that the sun doesn't burn the plant. To keep the gardenia looking its best, use an acid-loving fertilizer, blood meal, coffee grounds, spent tea, compost, there are many effective options. At the same time, be careful not to over fertilize. Prune it once in early spring to shape the bush and get it ready for the growing season. After the flowers have finished blooming, prune the gardenia once more to remove dead flowers and branches. Gardenias are prone to getting infested with several different types of insects, especially white flies, scales and mealy bugs. If you see signs of infestation, use a horticultural oil or insecticidal soap to take care of the problem.

TL;DR in Russian:

Полейте место, где вы собираетесь посадить гардению. Выкопайте ямку так глубоко, чтобы вместился корневой клубок гардении. Посадите растение. Накройте землю вокруг гардении мульчей. Поливайте растение каждые несколько дней после начального периода укоренения. Удобряйте растение два раза в год. Обрежьте гардению. Контролируйте вредителей сада.


The soil should never be allowed to dry out completely. Not enough water and overwatering can cause the leaves to turn yellow and drop from the plant. If the leaves begin to turn yellow, water the plant less often if the soil is still wet or more often if the soil appears dry between waterings. This way, any water splashed on the leaves will be dry before evening. Cold tap water will chill your plant's roots and stress your plants, causing it to drop its leaves. Wet leaves and cooler nighttime temperatures also provide a breeding ground for leaf spot. If your plant develops brown or black spots on its leaves, snip the damaged leaves off at the base and throw them away. Use water-soluble houseplant fertilizer diluted to half-strength. The half-strength dilution rate for most water-soluble fertilizers is about ½ teaspoon per gallon of water but it could be slightly higher or lower. Check the label for the manufacturer's recommended dilution rate and reduce the amount by half.  Aim for a balanced houseplant fertilizer with a ratio of 8-8-8 or 10-10-10. Too little fertilizer will cause the prayer plant to grow slowly or not at all. Too much fertilizer will burn the roots and cause the leaves to develop dry brown edges. When given the correct amount of fertilizer, prayer plants will have healthy green stems and leaves and grow vigorously. Use a peat-based potting mix with a pH of 5.5 to 6.0 or mix two parts sphagnum peat moss, one part loamy soil, and one part perlite or coarse sand together.  Stir all of the ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed. Sphagnum peat moss, loamy soil, perlite, and coarse sand can be purchased at local garden centers. Purchase only clean, pre-packaged materials that have been commercially processed and are free of insects and weed seeds. When the container for the plant becomes full of roots, the potting mix dries out very quickly, causing the prayer plant to grow very slowly. This condition is called pot-bound. The new container for your plant should be only 1 to 2 inches...

The sole saver is the flat piece on the bottom of the shoe. Keep the sole savers in place when you want your shoes to operate like regular shoes, but when you're ready to roll, pop them out. You should hear a click when heels are popped in all the way. You may want to stomp down on each wheel just to be safe. Look for a somewhat sloping, smooth area, but not too steep. A sidewalk, hallway or road works well. Avoid streets with car traffic or areas with lots of cracks, stones or other obstacles on the ground.

The solute is the substance that you’re mixing in to form your solution. If you’re given the mass of the solute in your problem, write it down and be sure to label it with the correct units. If you need to find the mass of the solute, then weigh it on a lab scale and record the measurement. If the solute you’re using is a liquid, then you can also calculate the mass using the density formula, where density D = m/V, where m is the mass of the liquid and V is the volume. To find the mass, multiply the density of the liquid by the volume. The total volume of the solution is the amount of solvent plus the amount of solute added to it. If you’re finding the volume in a lab, mix the solution in a graduated cylinder or beaker and look at the measurement. Measure the volume from the curve at the top of the solution, or the meniscus, to get the most accurate reading. Record the volume of the solution.  If you aren’t measuring the volume yourself, you may need to convert the mass of the solute into volume using the density formula. For example, if you’re finding the concentration of 3.45 grams of salt in 2 liters of water, you would find the volume of salt using the density formula. Look up the density of salt either in a textbook or online and solve the formula for m. In this case, the density of salt is 2.16 g/mL. The formula would read 2.16 g/mL = (3.45 g)/V. Multiply each side by V to get V(2.16 g/mL) = 3.45 g. Then divide the each side by 2.16 to find the volume, or V = (3.45 g)/(2.16 g/mL) = 1.60 mL. Add the volume of the solute to the volume of your solvent, ma. So in this example, 2 L + 1.6 mL = 2,000 mL + 1.6 mL = 2,001.6 mL. You can either leave the measurement in milliliters or convert it back to liters to get 2.002 L. Write out the equation C = m/V, where m is the mass of the solute and V is the total volume of the solution. Plug in the values you found for the mass and volume, and divide them to find the concentration of your solution. Don’t forget to label to label your answer with the correct units.  In...

The sooner that you get in contact with an insurance agent, the sooner your claim can be processed. Your protection will depend on your coverage, and your insurance agent will be able to get the process started. List all of your damaged property before beginning the cleanup process. Include pictures and video evidence if possible.  Let your claims adjuster know when you are disposing of health hazards, such as contaminated food. It can still be claimed, so they need to know about it. Ask about keeping samples. Sometimes you will need to keep samples of damaged property, such as a piece of rug, for claim purposes. During the cleanup process, keep receipts for all of your supplies and any services that you hire. Even motel bills for nights you can't stay in the house count.
