When you mention the YouTube video in the test of your paper, you need a parenthetical citation that directs your reader to the full citation in your reference list. Go by the name you used for your full citation. If you have the video creator's full name, use their last name. If you were only able to find the username, use that instead. If the video creator was a corporation or news organization rather than a person, use the full name of the institution in your in-text citation. Example: "(PlanktonBouy" If you're citing a comment on a YouTube video rather than the video itself, you still follow the same formula for name and year. The full citation will let your readers know that you're citing the comment rather than the video itself. Example: "(GOFISH, 2014)" Remember to use the year the comment was posted, not the year the video was published.

Summary: Start with the last name of the author. Provide the name and year for comments.

All hardware and home improvement stores stock small hand-operated snakes that are made especially to get through the curves in a toilet drain. The snake may be called a toilet snake or a closet auger. The auger will consist of a long cable and case with a handle that moves the cable in and out. The cable will have a hook on the end to grab clogs. For most snakes, you will rotate the handle as you push the cable out of the snake tool and into the drain. There will be areas that are difficult to push through but at some point you will likely feel strong resistance from the obstruction in your pipe. Stop pushing the wire in when it hits the clog. It might seem as if the cable has hit a wall when you hit a curve in the pipe but keep pushing to snake the pipe to see if it will go past the curve. You should be able to determine that what you've hit is the clog if you sense the clump giving way slightly as you press the cable it. Put on a pair of gloves and grip the handle with both hands if you have trouble pushing it down the pipe. The hook on the end of the auger cable is designed to grab items clogging the toilet. By turning the handle on the auger, the hook will rotate and dig into the clog. There is no need to rotate the handle quickly. Simply keep pressure on the cable as you turn the handle slowly. Retract the auger cable slowly so that anything hooked on the end of it will be pulled out of the drain. Then plunge the toilet and watch for water to flow down the drain. Place the plunger over the drain. Make sure the rubber head is flush against the toilet around the drain so that it creates a seal. Then push the plunger so the rubber head inverts. Let it pop back up and push down again. Do this several times until water starts draining through the drain. If the water doesn't drain, put the plunger away and snake the drain again.

Summary: Choose an auger that's made to snake toilets. Push the auger cable into the hole at the bottom of the toilet bowl. Rotate the handle on the auger to break up the clog. Pull out the cable and use a plunger to get the clog moving.

This technique works well when you need to correct an overly thin sauce near the end of cooking Mix the flour and water together in a small bowl that is separate from the sauce you are cooking. Mix 2 tablespoons (16 g) of all-purpose flour with a cup (60 ml) cold water. A whisk works well to quickly create a flour paste that is free from lumps. You can also use a fork or a spoon to stir your water and flour together. Alternatively, you can use a small container with a tight-fitting lid to mix. Add the flour and water to the container, seal the lid, and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth. Add your mixture gradually, a tablespoon at a time, and stir between each addition. To ensure a smooth consistency, remove a few spoonfuls of the sauce and put them in a small bowl with the flour slurry. Stir the flour mixture and sauce together there, then add the thickened sauce mixture back into your sauce pot. When you add the flour and water, your sauce should be warm but not close to boiling. Bring the sauce to a boil. To thicken properly with flour, you must bring your liquid to a boil. Stir the sauce occasionally. This ensures that your sauce doesn't stick to the pan. After you reduce the temperature, cook the sauce for about a minute on low heat. While it's simmering on low, the sauce should thicken considerably. This also ensures that your sauce won't have the starchy taste of flour. A longer cook time will help produce a thicker, richer-tasting gravy.

Summary: Combine flour and water for a simple sauce thickener. Stir the flour mixture into your warm sauce. Continue cooking the sauce over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and continue cooking.

The messages you tell yourself determine your perception of yourself, as well as your ability to accomplish your goals. If your inner dialogue is negative, you may become the greatest obstacle to your own success. Look for the following types of statements: "I'm not good enough." "Everyone knows I don't belong here." "I'll probably just fail again." "Everyone else is ahead of me/doing better than I am." "I waited too long/wasted too much time." Notice when your inner voice feeds you negative messages. When this happens, replace that thought with a positive message. Over time, the negative messages should diminish. As an example, you might notice this negative thought: "I'll never be able to finish a race that long." You could replace that with, "Everyone starts somewhere. If I work hard, train smart, and stick to it, I can accomplish my goal." It's normal to have fears, but they can hold you back if they're left unchecked. You need to figure out what you're afraid of so you can confront it. Question the reasons behind your fears, then face them head on to challenge their truth. Ask yourself questions like these: What am I afraid will happen? What in my past has made me afraid to put myself out there? Why do I think I will fail? What will happen if I fail? How can I overcome my fear? Trying to suppress your feelings won't make them go away. Instead, they'll just bubble beneath the surface waiting to explode. Let your emotions come and acknowledge how you feel. Then, release them. For example, you may notice you feel sad about losing a competition. Say to yourself, "I'm sad right now because I really wanted to win." Allow this feeling to pass. Don't let someone else's life become your measuring stick for yours. You'll always come up short because you only see the highlights in their life, not the daily struggles. No one's journey is the same as yours, so you can only compare yourself to you. Use the past version of you as your measuring stick. As long as you're improving upon yesterday, you're on the right track! For example, don't compare your life to what you see posted on social media. People usually post only their best moments and may even misrepresent how well they're doing. It's not a fair comparison!
Summary: Confront your inner dialogue that holds you back. Counter negative inner dialogue with positive self-talk. Determine the source of your fears about failure or success. Acknowledge your feelings without letting them control you. Stop comparing yourself to others.
