Q: Place your crabs in the freezer for several hours. The cold air will numb the crabs and cause them to move around much slower. This makes it easier to handle the crabs when killing them and may even dull their pain. Remember that once they're desensitized to pain, you should kill them immediately so they don't recover and feel pain again. If your crabs are larger, they'll take longer to freeze. You'll know your crab has frozen long enough when it's easy to handle or manipulate. The crabs shouldn't be moving their limbs at all or react when you touch near their mouthparts. Try tapping a crab's shell. If the crab's eyes don't react, then the crab is desensitized. You can quickly pierce the two nerve centers on a crab to immediately and painlessly kill the crab. Place your immobile crab on a non-slip mat so that it's on its back. Lift up the tail flap. You should see a hole that looks like a small dot. This is directly over a nerve center. Take a knife (or awl) and spike into this tiny hole at an angle of 85. Do this again for the front nerve center. The front nerve center is located in the shallow depression at the front of the crab. Insert this spike at an angle of 60. The whole spiking process should take less than 10 seconds. You can then cook the crab according to any method you'd like. If you don't want to worry about cooking a very fresh crab or killing it yourself, buy frozen crab legs and claws. These are steamed before they're frozen so all you need to do is heat them back up. To thaw your frozen crab you can either: Place the frozen crab in the fridge and let it thaw overnight Place the frozen crab in a container of cool water that's set in your sink or on the counter
A: Freeze your crabs. Check for signs of sensitivity. Spike the crab to kill it. Consider buying and thawing frozen crab.

Article: If you're using patterned fabric, place the patterned side facedown. Spread the cloth out so the "wrong" side, the side that will become the tablecloth's underside, faces you. Position the fabric across the center part of the table. Then, cut the fabric according to your size, drop length, and hem measurements if it hasn't been cut already. For a round table, you will need to carefully cut all the way around the fabric. Most of the time, the fabric won't be big enough. When this happens, cut the fabric into a single section fitting across the table's diameter, then sew additional pieces to it. If your fabric is a solid color, both of its sides may look similar. Choose the side you like better to serve as the top side of the tablecloth and place it facedown. Many craft supply stores will cut the tablecloth for you if you bring your measurements to the store. Otherwise, mark your measurements on the tablecloth and cut it yourself with a sharp pair of scissors. Set aside 1 of the narrower pieces for now. Find the selvage edges on the remaining pieces, which feel thicker and more tightly woven. Lay the bigger cut over the smaller one, making sure the selvage edges are flush before you pin the fabric together.The selvage edges are a little tougher to sew through, but they don't fray. Using them now reduces the amount of trimming you need to do later to make the tablecloth look perfect. Repeat pinning and sewing the second narrow piece. Align the edges, then begin securing the fabric pieces together. Make a line of straight stitches along the fabric's length.Remember to leave 12in (1.3cm) seam allowance between the edge of the fabric and the row of straight stitches.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Lay the fabric upside down and cut it to size. Pin the bigger piece of fabric over the narrower pieces. Sew the other piece of fabric to the opposite end of the tablecloth.

Q: Speeches don't have to be invented from scratch. Telling a personal story is a great way to come up with something quickly: since you already know what happened, you'll know what to say. For example: At a wedding, you could tell a funny story about growing up with the bride or groom. At a funeral, you could tell a story about how kind or generous the deceased was, or about how they influenced you. This is another way to rely on something that's already out there, rather than having to come up with something on the spot. Think of an inspiring quotation, some lyrics to a song, or a famous saying that applies to the situation when you're speaking. Start off with that, and then discuss it a bit. For example, imagine you're giving a toast at Frank's 70th birthday. You could say something like: "They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Frank here's proving them wrong. Who else would have the courage to start running marathons in retirement?" Rambling on too long is the number one thing that can go wrong when giving a personal speech. It's much better to avoid saying too much. Keep your speech brief, focusing on two to five main points or examples. For example, if you're toasting the groom at a wedding, stick to just two good stories about your friendship. If you see people in the audience do things like turn away, talk to each other, check their phones or watches, or fidget in their seats, you might be rambling on and losing their attention. If this happens just quickly cut to your main point and say "thank you" as a way to close. Even practiced speakers can get nervous when asked to give a talk on the spot. Control your nerves by taking a deep breath before you begin, and taking brief pauses every so often while you are talking. Focus on pronouncing your words clearly, and not speaking too quickly. Many people feel nervous about giving a speech, especially with little notice. But if you show the confidence to give one, they'll applaud you. Plus, they'll all be so happy not to be the ones giving the speech that they'll probably be super supportive! Simple ways to find your confidence before giving a speech include taking some deep, slow breaths, or closing your eyes and visualising a happy place before you begin. You can also look out in the audience and find a few friends or people who seem supportive, and focus on them. If you're nervous, you could also try the old standby of imagining everyone in the audience naked! Above all, just remind yourself that most people will naturally admire the courage of someone who shows the confidence to get up and speak in front of a crowd.
A:
Tell a story you know well. Kick things off with a quote. Keep it short and sweet. Speak clearly and calmly. Shore up your confidence.
