This Asian-inspired jerky is a sharp departure from the smokey, classic jerky frequently found in stores, and it is delicious. The following recipe is for 3 lbs of meat instead of one. Simply substitute the following ingredients for your normal marinade and keep the rest of your steps the same: cup sesame oil cup soy sauce cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons sesame seeds 2 teaspoons ground pepper teaspoons powdered ginger While it requires a little extra work, this cola marinade from The Food Network has a light, smokey sweetness that goes great on the turkey. Heat up 1 cup cola, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup unseasoned rice vinegar, and cup honey in a saucepan for 10-12 minutes on medium heat, then let it cool. Add any combinations of the following spices, then add the mixture in place of your normal marinade. Salt, to taste. 1 teaspoon paprika, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and/or ground chipotle Looking for something a little spicy? Adding a tablespoon of the following ingredients will give your jerky the kick you were looking for: Tabasco Sriracha Crushed red pepper Ghost pepper extract (extremely spicy). If you don't want to make your turkey taste like classic beef or venison jerky you can simplify the recipe. This leads to a more "Thanksgiving" tasting turkey jerky. To do so, slice your turkey like normal. Then rub it turkey lightly with the following spices before drying at 200F in the oven for 6-10 hours. 2 teaspoon kosher salt. 1 tb crushed black pepper teaspoon garlic powder. Rub the turkey lightly, on both sides, with your spice mixture. You want to lightly coat the meat like you were cooking a chicken breast or steak.

Summary: Try out sesame-soy jerky. Mix things up with a cola inspired marinade. Add Sriracha, crushed red pepper, or Tabasco sauce to give your jerky a kick. Try a "Thanksgiving Turkey" rub for your jerky. Finished.

At this point, you should use your experience with previous meetings to determine both the number of people you can expect and how many people you want to be involved in financial and institutional decisions. This process will help you determine the by-law for quorum. For example, you may find that three people show up to any given meeting, even if you have an eight-person board. In this case, you may overrule your majority quorum in favor of a three-person quorum. If your number of board members is flexible or changes frequently, consider using a percentage of board members present, rather than a set number. Ask the Secretary to write up the number required for a quorum. Give every member of the organization and opportunity to weigh in on the change before the vote. Before the vote, give the members of the organization the proposed amendment to the quorum by-law in writing, as well as the existing by-law for quorum. Additionally, prior to the vote, provide the by-law as it will read once it is adopted. A two-thirds majority is needed for the vote to pass. Once the vote has been taken for the amendment to your by-laws, if it passes, it is adopted and cannot be reconsidered. However, if the vote fails, the vote can be reconsidered. Send out the new, updated by-laws to members of the organization and the state and federal organizations that require copies of your by-laws. Remind people that any meeting that does not have a quorum will not be able to do legal business.

Summary: Decide on the largest number of members that can be expected to attend meetings. Vote on the number required for a quorum, so that you can place it in the by-laws. Adopt or reconsider the amendment to the by-laws.

Take clean rags, wrap them around a stick, and soak them in ammonia. You can also spray the rag with cologne. Stick them in the ground, on the borders of your land. Strong smells that seem unnatural to coyotes will scare them away. Replace the rags after each rainfall. Coyotes are skilled jumpers, but a fence that is 5 feet (1.5m) to 6 feet (1.8m) high can deter them. To keep them from digging under the fence, make sure that it goes at least 6 inches (15cm) down into the soil. An electric fence can also work to keep coyotes away. Set them up on the edges of your land. If coyotes creep in, the sensors will be activated and the animals will be struck with a blast of water. Coyotes hate being disturbed, so this will drive them away. You can find these sprinklers at most hardware and home supply stores. Usually, coyotes like to lay low and are actually very skittish. Bright lights make the area seem too visible for their liking, so they will stay away. Set bright outdoor lights up outside your home, in your yard, or wherever you suspect coyotes lurk. Strobe lights will be especially annoying to coyotes, so go for those if you can find them.

Summary: Use scent deterrents. Build a deterrent fence. Use motion-activated sprinklers. Install outdoor lights.

Think about who populates the universe. Is it humans and human-like being? If so, what type of humans are in the universe? You may base the humans in the universe on human groups that exist in our world or merge several groups to create the humans of your fictional universe. For example, you may decide that there is a race of humans that were colonized by another race to create a hybrid race. You may use elements of American slavery and the colonization of indigenous peoples in Canada as templates for the human groups in your universe. If you do use existing human groups as a template for the people in your universe, make sure they are multi-dimensional and not based solely on stereotypes. You are creating a fictional universe, after all, so you can add in nuances and oddities as you see fit, even to the humans who inhabit the universe. Your universe may also have otherworldly beings or creatures, such as elves, dwarves, and fairies. You may have otherworldly creatures who live among humans or a universe populated by only creatures and no humans. You can also make up your own species, where there are magical elements and human elements present in the beings in your universe. Let your creativity run wild and create a species that will be unique and engaging. You may also want to account for the role of certain objects in the universe and their role. These could be objects that are used by every being in the universe or objects that are only used by a select few. Start by focusing on objects that have an important role in the universe and then move down to less important objects that are used in the more mundane aspects of the universe. For example, maybe the universe is held together by a central object, such as a shard of dragon's glass or a molten ball of gold. Or, maybe the universe is populated by special objects that grow on trees or on the graves of the dead. Use your imagination to sketch out several key objects in the universe to make it feel more detailed and well-rounded. Though not every fictional universe needs to contain magical elements, your universe may benefit from a little magic. If you are going to include magic in the universe, you should determine how much magic exists and who can access this magic. You should also consider the origins of the magic, such as nature, ancient artifacts, the gods or a God, or powerful humans. You should also think about how the magic is treated in the universe. If the magic is powerful, are there keepers or guardians of the magic? If the magic only available to a select few or has it been forgotten and waiting to be reclaimed by a chosen hero? You may also consider if the magic in the universe is considered a positive element, like a sacred gift or treasure. Or, maybe the magic has negative connotations, associated with fear and evil.
Summary: Determine if the universe is populated with humans or human-like beings. Include otherworldly beings or creatures. Consider if certain objects have value or meaning. Address the role of magic.
