Q: You don't need paper for every cake recipe. Paper is recommended for long-cooking cakes, such as fruitcakes. For most other recipes, you can save time and money by using butter and flour instead, as described below. Regardless of recipe, use paper if your your tin has a history of sticking, This will help stick the greaseproof paper (parchment paper) to the sides of the tin, making assembly easier. Because the cake batter won't be touching the tin directly, you don't need to do a thorough job. Wrap a piece of string around the cake tin. Cut the string where it wraps fully around the tin. Unroll your greaseproof paper and place the string over it. Cut off a piece of paper the length of the string. Fold this in half lengthwise, to make a long, narrow rectangle. Crease the fold with your hand. Unfold and cut along the crease. You now have two pieces of paper that can fit around your cake tin's sides. Set aside one of them for another cake you'll only need one. You can use both to double-line the cake tin, but this is usually unnecessary. Take the long side of the paper and fold it over about 2.5 cm (one inch). Crease this fold. This small folded area will rest on the base of the pan. To make it fit smoothly without crumpling, cut from the edge to the crease at 2.5 cm (one inch) intervals. You'll end up with a row of flaps. Cut at a slight angle from the edge to make a better fit. You've prepared the paper to cover the sides. All that's left is the base. Place the tin on the paper and use a pencil to trace around it. Cut out the outline to make a piece that will cover the base. Since the outside of the tin is larger than the inside, stay slightly within the line you traced. Wrap the long piece of paper around the inside walls of the tin. Push the flaps down until they are all lying flat against the base. Place the base paper onto the base of the tin, over the flaps. Press down to make sure it lies flat. You can leave up to 5 cm (2 inches) of paper above the upper edge. This traps the heat in and browns the cake sides if it rises over the tin. Trim off any excess above that level.
A: Use this method for cakes and pans likely to stick. Lightly grease with butter. Measure the tin with a piece of string. Measure the greaseproof paper with the string. Cut the paper in half lengthwise. Crease a short fold on one side of the paper. Cut the creased section into many segments. Cut out paper for the base. Fit the paper into the tin.

Article: Moisture can be created by leaky pipes, faulty windows, rainwater, or built-up condensation. Check your basement for moisture after it rains. Feel the walls and make sure they aren't wet. If you notice water pooling on the floor or trickling out of the walls, you have moisture problems. Call a contractor to fix the moisture issues before finishing the walls. A contractor may have to do some exterior drain tiling, exterior waterproofing, or pipe repairs if water is leaking into your basement. It will be harder to fix problems if you finish your walls before repairing the source of the moisture problems. Keep an eye out for any pooling water around your home and see that your gutters are functioning properly and not draining near the basement. Finding a way to allow water to drain away from your home will help you keep your basement dry. If your basement has window wells, cover them and caulk the windows with clear silicone. Some unfinished basements may have holes or divots in the walls. Hydraulic cement is a fine grain material that can effectively fill in the holes in your walls. Buy a 50-pound (23 kg) bag of cement. If there are no holes or divots in your walls, you can skip the next couple of steps and go straight to applying an interior sealer. Read the instructions on the back of the cement so that you know what ratio of water to cement you need. Pour the cement into a bucket, add the appropriate amount of water and mix it together with a wooden stick or trowel. Continue mixing until the cement is a slushy consistency. Use a spray bottle to apply a mist of water over the holes in the wall. This will prepare the holes for the cement. Use a trowel to scoop up some of the cement and spread it into the holes in your walls. Fill the holes, then use the trowel to scrape the cement and flatten it out so that it runs flush with the wall. Repeat this process on all the holes in your walls. Feel the surface of the cement the next day to make sure that it's dry. Once the cement has hardened, you can move onto the next step. Purchase an interior waterproof sealer online or at a hardware store. This will come in a paint can and can be applied to the walls with a paint roller. Saturate the roller with the sealer and go in an up and down motion over the walls until they are completely coated in the sealer. Open the windows and wear a facemask or respirator so that you don't inhale the fumes from the sealer. If you notice any problems with humidity or a musty smell, take the time to let the basement dry before adding walls. You may need to buy or rent a dehumidifier and let it run for a few days to completely dry it out.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Fix moisture problems in your basement before finishing your walls. Purchase hydraulic cement if you have holes in your walls. Mix the powder cement with water according to the instructions. Spray the wall with water. Spread the cement over the holes in the walls. Let the cement dry overnight. Apply an interior masonry sealer to the walls. Before adding walls, make sure the basement is dry.

Q: Exercising on a regular basis can have a great effect on your overall health, and it can also help your periods stay short and light. If you are overweight, you might want to consider talking to your doctor about a healthy weight loss plan. Maintaining a healthy weight can help you periods be shorter and lighter overall. Regardless of weight, women who live sedentary lifestyles tend to have longer periods. Moderate physical activity, in the form of 45 minutes to an hour of exercise a day, can result in shorter periods. Exercise can come in the form a sport you enjoy, a brisk walk, cardiovascular exercise, or jogging. Be careful about overdoing it. Sometimes, excessive exercise can cause menstruation to stop altogether. This can be dangerous, especially if you're not getting the proper nutrients while working out. You should always consult your doctor before adjusting your workout routine. While the effects of diet on menstruation are debated, some studies do indicate a low fat diet full of healthy carbohydrates might result in shorter periods. A diet rich in complex carbohydrates, like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, while low in sugar and alcohol can reduce symptoms like cramping and mood swings associated with menstruation. It may also shorten the overall length of your menstrual cycle. A few studies exist that indicate a low fat diet may also shorten menstrual periods, at least to a small degree. As weight loss can lead to shorter periods, altering your diet if you're overweight may help with weight loss and therefore reduce period length. However, you should always talk to your doctor before making any decisions about losing weight. Disrupted or limited sleep contributes to stress, which can lead to longer, painful periods. Getting on a regular, healthy sleep schedule can help you better regulate your emotions. Losing even a few hours of sleep can lead to increased stress, anger, and anxiety. All of these things can manipulate hormone levels and lead to a heavier, longer period. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, including weekends. Your body will adjust to this schedule and you'll settle into a regular sleep schedule. When you wake up, set the alarm for the time you actually plan on being awake. Using the snooze button can lead to interrupted, unpleasant sleep that can leave you tired throughout the day.
A:
Maintain a healthy exercise routine. Alter your diet. Improve your sleep schedule.
