Q: Once you have attached the hair to the wig cap, you can then sew or glue the wig cap to your doll. Use the same type of yarn as you will for your doll's hair. Make a loop with the yarn, overlapping the working and tail ends. Pull the working end of the yarn through the middle of the ring. Pull it up towards the top edge of the ring and make a chain stitch. Make six single crochets in the magic ring. Finish with a slip stitch in the first single crochet. Gently tug on the tail to tighten the stitches. Chain stitch two. Do two half-double-crochets in each stitch. When you reach the end of the round, close it with a slip stitch in your first half-double-crochet. Start your third round with two chain stitches. Next, do a half-double-crochet in the next stitch, followed by two half-double-crochets in the second stitch. Do this six times, then close the round with a slip stitch in the first half-double-crochet. Start with two chain stitches. Next, do a half-double-crochet in each stitch over the next two stitches. (This is your increase). Follow it up with two half-double-crochets in the third stitch. Do this six times, then close the round with a slip stitch in the first half-double-crochet. Start with two chain stitches. Next, do a half-double-crochet in each stitch over the next three stitches. (This is your increase). Follow it with two half-double-crochets in the fourth stitch. Do this six times. Close the round with a slip stitch in the first half double crochet. The wig cap needs to be big enough to fit over your doll's head and extend from hairline to hairline. Start with two chain stitches, then 2 half-double-crochets in the first stitch. Continue where you left off with your increases: a half-double-crochet in each stitch. Instead of going for the entire round, stop when you are half-way across. You will be left with something that looks like a cap, but that is longer on one end. This longer end goes on the front of the doll's head. The shorter end goes on the back.
A: Make a crochet wig cap if you do not have a crochet or amigurumi doll. Start a magic ring. Do your first round in the magic ring. Start your second round. Do your first increasing round. Make your second increase for the fourth round. Make your third increase for the fifth round. Continue making increases until your wig cap is one round away from being the right size. Finish off with a half, increasing round. Finish off with a slip stitch in the next stitch, then cut your yarn and tie it off.

Q: Place a heavy skillet on the stove and turn the heat to high. Pour in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vegetable oil and sprinkle six 7-ounce (200 g) hanger steaks with salt and pepper. Place the hanger steaks into the hot skillet and cook them for 6 to 8 minutes. Turn them occasionally so they cook evenly. The steaks will be medium-rare to well done depending on how long you saute them. Transfer the steaks to a plate. Cover the steaks loosely with aluminum foil to rest while you make the sauce. Heat the skillet with the steak drippings over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon (14 g) of the unsalted butter and 8 medium shallots that you've peeled and thinly sliced. Salt and pepper the shallots. Stir and cook them for 3 to 5 minutes so they become soft. Pour in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of red wine vinegar and let it cook until the liquid evaporates. Then pour in 1/2 cup (120 ml) of dry red wine. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook it until half of the liquid evaporates. Take the sauce off the stove and stir in the last tablespoon (14 g) of unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons (7 g) of minced Italian parsley leaves. Slice the steaks against the grain and spread them out on the serving plates. Pour some of the shallot sauce over each steak and serve them right away.
A: Heat a skillet and season the steaks. Saute the steaks for 6 to 8 minutes. Rest the steaks and cook the shallots. Stir in red wine and red wine vinegar. Finish the sauce and pour it over the steak.

Q: You're going to need to attach your mousetrap to a chassis (or body), which will form the frame of your car, wheels, and an engine to power the contraption. These kinds of miniature cars are often used for physics experiment when learning about mechanical advantage, gravity, and gear ratios. For the purposes of this example, heavy cardboard will be used as the chassis, but you also might use: Foam core. The body of an old toy car. A piece of light, durable wood, like balsa wood. You can modify the design of your car to achieve certain goals. For example, if your physics class is having a distance race competition, you'll want to: Lighten your car as much as possible. If using a solid chassis, this might include drilling holes in its frame and wheels. Use wheels that are both thin and stiff. Decrease air resistance by making the front of your car small and sleek. If your car will be traveling up a ramp or across hilly terrain, smaller wheels will be able to manage the incline better due to inertia. Flat surfaces, like table and floors, can be best traversed with larger wheels. As previously mentioned, there are many different materials you might use to make your mousetrap car. Some additional options are listed in the "Tips" below. However, to make the mousetrap in this example, you will need: Compass (for drawing circles) Duct tape Durable string Elastic bands/rubber bands Eye hooks (4) Heavy cardboard or foam core Mousetrap Pliers Ruler Thin dowels (2) Utility knife
A: Visualize your mousetrap car. Use physics to your advantage for best results. Take into account the surface your car will run on. Gather your mousetrap car making materials.

Q: Along with resting, icing your shin splints is a commonly recommended and effective therapy. Apply ice packs to the affected shin for 15 minutes at a time, at least four times per day for several weeks. The inflamed tissues of the shin are very superficial, so ice does not need to be applied for longer than 15 minutes at a time. To protect your skin from frostbite, wrap the ice packs in a thin towel. Gently stretch your Achilles tendon (near your heel) and your calves if you have medial shin pain by wrapping a towel around your toes and then trying to slowly extend your leg while holding on to each end of the towel. Alternatively, gently stretch the anterior shin muscles (tibialis anterior) if your pain is centered in front of the shin bone by kneeling on a carpeted floor with your feet together and toes pointed back, then slowly sitting back onto your calves until you feel the tension in the muscles of your shin. Hold each type of stretch for 20 seconds, relax and repeat 5x daily. In a sitting position with your affected leg in the air, try tracing the letters of the alphabet with your toes. This is a good exercise that stretches all muscles of the lower leg. Soaking your feet and lower legs in a warm Epsom salt bath can significantly reduce pain and swelling. The magnesium in the salt is thought to help the muscles relax. If swelling is a particular problem for you, then follow the warm salt bath with an ice bath until your feet feel numb (about 15 minutes or so). Always dry your feet thoroughly before you get up and walk away from your foot bath in order to prevent slip and falls.
A:
Apply ice to your shin splints. Stretch your shin muscles. Take an Epsom salt bath.
