Gather your materials. Cut a stocking pattern. Cut stocking shapes out of the fabric. Cut a rectangle of white felt. Sew the fabric together. Attach the white felt to the top of the stocking. Connect a ribbon to hang your stocking.

Remember that a mixed number includes a whole number combined with a proper fraction. The whole number represents how many complete wholes you have. The fraction represents how many parts of a whole you have. The denominator is an indication of how many parts a whole something can be broken into. By multiplying the whole number by the denominator, you can determine how many pieces exist among wholes. For example, if you need to convert 51416{\displaystyle 5{\frac {14}{16}}}, you would first calculate 5×16=80{\displaystyle 5\times 16=80}. These are all the extra pieces that do not make a whole. Make sure you add this number to the product of the whole number and the denominator. This number will become the new numerator of your improper fraction. For example, 80+14=94{\displaystyle 80+14=94}. So, the new numerator of your improper fraction is 94. You do not need to make any changes to the denominator to create your improper fraction. For example, since the original denominator of the proper fraction was 16, the denominator of your improper fraction is also 16. So, 51416=9416{\displaystyle 5{\frac {14}{16}}={\frac {94}{16}}}.

TL;DR in English: Multiply the whole number of the mixed number by the denominator. Add the original numerator. Place the new numerator over the original denominator.

To sew a homemade Christmas stocking you will need a few supplies from your local craft or fabric store. Gather all of the materials before beginning, and make sure you have a clear table to work on.  Large piece of paper ¼ to ⅓ of a yard of quilting fabric or felt for each stocking. Pick a design you like, plaids or stripes in Christmas colors look great. White felt for the top of the stocking. Scissors Pins Needle and thread, or sewing machine Draw a stocking shape onto a large piece of paper. You can freehand draw the stocking shape, or you can find a pattern online and print it out to trace. Use the stocking pattern to cut 2 stocking shapes out of the fabric you have. Make sure the two stocking shapes are exactly the same. It's best to use a pattern, but if you freehand draw your stocking shape, you need to trace it for the second stocking shape. Cut the rectangle the width of your stocking and 1 ½ inches tall. Use pinking shears to give the felt a textured edge. Line up the two stocking pieces together with the "right" side of the fabric touching each other. Sew the edges of the two stocking pieces together. When you finish sewing along the edges and the bottom of the stocking, flip the stocking so that the outside or "right" side of the fabric is out.  Make sure you do not sew the top of the fabric so that you can put things in the stocking. Use a thread color that matches the color of your fabric. Sew the white felt to the top of the fabric using white thread. Attach a ribbon or a thin piece of felt to hang your stocking. Sew the ribbon onto the corner on the inside of the back of the stocking.

Ear infections in beagles need immediate care. In addition to making your beagle feel even more miserable, an untreated an ear infection could lead to permanent hearing loss and cause illness in other parts of his body. Your vet will use an instrument called an otoscope to take a closer look inside your beagle’s ears. They will also take a sample of the debris and/or discharge in his ears and look at it under the microscope. If your beagle’s ears are really painful and sensitive, your beagle would need to be sedated for the exam.  Your vet will examine your beagle as a whole to identify other potential causes of the ear infection (e.g., diabetes, diseases of the immune system).  Food allergies can cause chronic ear infections in dogs. If your vet suspects a food allergy, then you would need to conduct a food elimination trial with your vet’s guidance. In general, treatment for ear infections involves cleaning and medicating the ears. The type of medication needed depends on the cause of the infection (e.g., antibiotics for a bacterial infection, antifungals for a yeast infection). Steroids are used to reduce inflammation.  If your beagle has a severe infection, he will need a veterinary ear cleaning. For the procedure, your vet would anesthetize your beagle, flush his ears out with warm water and put medication in the ears.  Underlying health conditions would need to be treated and/or managed along with the ear infection. If mites are causing the ear infection, your vet will prescribe a medication to kill the mites. Surgery is a ‘last resort’ option for chronic ear infections when there is so much scarring that the ear canal is nearly closed. A veterinary specialist would remove the entire ear canal. Although this procedure is expensive, it is very effective at preventing future ear infections. and treat your beagle’s ears as prescribed. Successful treatment of your beagle’s ear infection depends on you administering the medications exactly as prescribed. When you clean his ears, apply the prescribed number...

You might want to use a normal-sized flowerpot for one plant or you can even establish several cuttings in the same pot, planted apart from each other. Seedling tubes are also a good idea for many plants. Get a plastic (polythene) bag and place gravel at the base of the bag. The pot will be placed in here after you have made the cutting. Fill the pot with suitable soil - sand and peat for drainage make an ideal combination for many plants. Finally, the pot must be able to drain well (the water will go onto the gravel, rather than pooling in the plastic bag). Cut it off just below a leaf or joint (node). Once you have cut the plant piece, strip or cut off any leaves on the lower half. You can strip or cut off as high as two-thirds if necessary. If the bark looks like it will tear, use scissors.  You can also make a small incision to the lower end of the stem to encourage root growth from this "wound". Use a skewer, pencil, or similar long object to create a hole for the cutting to sit in. Do not use the cutting itself to push in a hole or you will damage it. The idea is to gently drop the cutting into the hole and carefully in-fill with dirt. Make sure the pot is sitting snugly on the gravel. This makes it easy to undo for watering and to place back on again.

Unwrap your muffin. Grip the whole top of the muffin and twist. Eat the muffin top like a cookie. Finish eating the muffin base.

Slice into even thin slices. Be aware that the thinness determines the final crispiness, so keep them as thin as possible. Only add them single layer and avoid touching. Then sprinkle over the top with your favorite spice. If possible, use fresh, such as grated nutmeg or buy as fresh a spice as possible. They're ready to remove when they look a caramel color and have dried totally.  To store, place in an airtight jar or resealable bags. They can be stored for up to a year.

The paper cup, when unwrapped and placed flat, can help keep any crumbs from spilling elsewhere. The motion is similar to that you would use to open a jar. Pull the top of the muffin away from the base.  This method is most reliable when the muffin top has a slight crust or hardness compared to the base of the muffin.The crust makes it much easier to pull the top away from the base in one piece. When the overall consistency of the muffin is softer or less dense, you may find the muffin top crumbling in your hands when you attempt to remove it. Be prepared to change your strategy! If the muffin is dense, the underside of the muffin top makes a great vehicle for butter or other spreads. If you found the muffin drier or more crumbly, the muffin top may be unable to receive a spread without falling apart first. In this case, it is best to eat the top plain. Eat the base as desired, either with your fingers or utensils.

Turn your gas grill on to medium heat. If you have a charcoal grill, heat the coals and dump the coals in the center of the grate. Sprinkle the pork loin chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Squeeze juice from half a lime over the pork chops and brush them with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. While you can season the steaks with salt and pepper ahead of time, avoid squeezing the lime juice over them until right before you put them on the grill. Ensure that the grill's grate is clean and place your seasoned pork loin steaks on the grate. If you're using a charcoal grill, place them over direct heat (right above the coals). If your steaks are about 3/4" thick, cook them for 4 to 6 minutes. If your steaks are around 1 1⁄2 in (3.8 cm), cook them longer. They'll need closer to 10 minutes for the first side. Use tongs to carefully turn over the steaks. Once you've flipped the steaks, let them finish cooking. Grill the 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) steaks for another 4 to 6 minutes or grill the 1 1⁄2 in (3.8 cm) steaks for another 10 minutes. Check the steak temperature to see if they're between 145 and 160 °F (63 and 71 °C). Let them rest for 5 minutes before you serve them. If you'd like to get decorative grill marks, consider turning the steaks at a about a 90-degree angle during the last few minutes of grilling. This will give your steaks cross-hatches.

TL;DR in English: Heat the grill and season the steaks. Place the steaks on the grill. Turn and grill the other side.

Once your account is registered with Mojang, you should be able to log in to the Minecraft launcher. When you log in, you may notice the launcher downloading additional files via a progress bar at the bottom of the window — this is normal. Note that you will need an internet connection to log in so that your information can be verified with the Mojang servers. At the bottom of the launcher window, you should see a large "Play Demo" button. Click this button to launch the game. The launcher will close and a new game window will open. Click "Play Demo World" on the title screen. Congratulations — you should now be playing Minecraft for free. If this is your first time playing, consider reading our Minecraft article to orient yourself. It's important to note that the demo version isn't the full version of the game — it's meant to be just a taste of what the full version contains. The biggest differences you may notice between the two versions are:  The demo version of the game is limited to a 100-minute play session. After that, you can still visit the world, but you cannot break or place blocks. The demo version of the game doesn't allow you to connect to servers. However, you can still play LAN multiplayer games. If you want the full game without having to pay, you can play version 1.2.5 (Which is around the time Jungles were added) and below, they do not require you to pay to play the full game. If you have a friend who owns a copy of Minecraft, one easy way to play the full game on your computer is simply to use his or her login details. Do this only with your friend's permission — preferably, in his or her presence. Never use another person's account for illegal distribution of the game, as this can get your friend's account permanently revoked.

Stir the yeast and the milk together in a bowl. Let it sit for about five minutes, until the yeast begins to foam and bubble. Use a wooden spoon or a whisk to mix well. 1 cup at a time, mix in the flour, incorporating each cup thoroughly before moving on to the next. Using your hands or a dough hook attachment on your mixer, knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic. Use plastic wrap to wrap the kneaded dough and let it chill in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Place it in a mixing bowl and whip it until it's light and fluffy. If the air in your house is warm, add 1/2 cup flour and whip it with the butter to help keep the butter stiff.

Goldfish love to swim around the bottom of the tank. Because of this, you need to make sure your stones are large so that they cannot be swallowed. Also make sure the stones have no sharp edges so the goldfish don’t cut their mouths.  Make sure that your rocks are treated so they don’t change the chemistry of your tank water.  An easy way to do this is to purchase rocks at a pet store. If you must gather rocks from your property, boil them before adding them to the tank. Also make sure they are large and smooth. Goldfish like to be near plants. However, they also like to eat them. When you are setting up your goldfish aquarium, use plastic plants from a pet store. Avoid cheap plant décor because the plastics can leach chemicals into your goldfish tank water. Wood will add interest and a natural appearance to a goldfish tank. Since wood needs to be treated so it doesn’t affect the water, do not use wood you find on your own. Purchase either treated wood or artificial wood purchased at a pet store.  You can add branches and small, hollow logs to a goldfish tank. Wood can give your fish something to swim around during the day. There are many novelty fish tank accessories available on the market. However, purchasing these cheap plastic toys can be hazardous for your tank water. Make sure you purchase plastic novelties from reputable aquarium retailers. Novelty examples include sunken pirate ships, colorful corals, a diver, etc. Having caves and holes through objects can be fun for a goldfish. However, you must make sure that the holes aren’t too small. If a round opening is too small, your goldfish can scrape its belly or sides, which is harmful to their skin.  Instead, estimate how large your goldfish will get by talking to your pet store sales person. The length a goldfish gets depends on its variety. Goldfish can be as small as six inches or as large as 16 inches long.  Purchase caves and holes that have a larger diameter than your goldfish will be at full size. Goldfish grow fast and produce a lot of waste....

Go for a short, gentle walk to encourage your bowels to move. Do leg-raising exercises that help you pass gas. Take medication to help you pass gas.

Find a sunny spot in your garden that gets at least 6-8 hours of sunlight and dig a hole large enough to accommodate the seedling or plant. Use a gardening fork to gently dig up some soil at the base of the hole and rake a handful of compost into it. Gently insert plant and fill the space around it with an even mixture of soil and compost. Plant chilli plants at least 18 inches (45 cm) apart from any other plants to ensure that they will have adequate room to grow. In a warm, sunny climate, water your chilli plant every day to keep it hydrated. Avoid over-watering by making sure that the soil is moist, but not swampy. Feed plants with a general purpose liquid fertilizer (available at gardening centers) every two weeks. Chilli plants should only be transplanted outdoors in warm climates or places with very long summer seasons. In the latter case, it is best to transfer them outdoors in June. Purchase fleece or a gardening cloche (i.e. a protective dome cover that goes over the plant and is burrowed into the soil around it) to cover plants in case of unseasonally  cold weather.

TL;DR in English: Plant the chilli plant. Water and feed the plant regularly. Keep your plant warm.

Walk for 15 minutes in the area around your home, but only if you feel comfortable with this level of activity. Walking will encourage the muscles in your bowels to work, which helps relieve constipation and bloating and encourage flatulation. Avoid doing any physical activity more strenuous than walking for at least the first few days after your surgery. Lie on your back and place a pillow under your knees. Then, slowly raise your right leg towards your stomach with your knee bent and hold it there for 10 seconds. Lower your leg after 10 seconds and repeat this exercise with your left leg.  These leg raises will contract and expand the muscles in your abdomen, helping to move gas through your digestive system. Repeat this exercise 2-3 times a day until your discomfort is gone. Use medications that are specifically designed to eliminate gas bubbles in the body or make it easier for you to pass gas. Be sure to clear any medications with your doctor before taking them on your own. Some examples of medications that help with the passage of gas include Simethicone and Colace. You can buy these medications at most pharmacies or drug stores.

It’s possible for your ingrown hair to get infected, especially if you break the skin. If you have an infection, you need to get proper treatment so it heals. Talk to your doctor if you notice the following symptoms of an infection:  Pus Pain Redness Swelling If you have an infection, your doctor may prescribe you an antibiotic. For a mild infection, you’ll likely use a topical antibiotic. For a severe infection, your doctor might give you an oral antibiotic. Take your medication as directed so that your infection heals.  Don’t stop taking your antibiotic until you’ve used your entire prescription. Otherwise, your infection may come back. You don’t need an antibiotic unless you actually have an infection. It won’t help your ingrown pubic hair go away. While you’re treating the infection, you need to leave the hair alone. Trying to pull it out can make the infection worse.

Do you want to work faster?  Do you want to spend less time looking for documents or files?  Organizational skills can enhance many aspects of your workflow.  To help you stay focused on the best steps to remedy your disorganized work habits, think about what the end result of a more organized office or workspace might look like. The task of developing organizational skills can take time.  Break it into smaller, more manageable chunks to ease the burden.  Try to integrate at least one new organizational technique into your workflow each day.  For instance, you might start by organizing your desk drawer.  The next day, maybe you’ll start by organizing your storage folders and files.  The third day, you could try re-ordering your project queue so the work projects due soonest are on top. Think about your work space and find small ways to become more organized each day. Give each assignments or project a separate folder and order them by due date or importance.  After finishing a project, empty the folder and bin documents that you won’t need again. If you are unsure which assignments are most pressing, or need more time to work on something, ask your boss which tasks are absolutely crucial and which can be deferred. You probably have a lot of stuff in your cubicle or workspace that has nothing to do with your work.  Recycle it, throw it away, or take it home.  For instance, your takeout menu from the local Chinese joint should be recycled.  Even some work-related documents or items should be removed.  You don’t need two pairs of scissors or two staplers, for example.  Find an appropriate place for the extra stuff in your workspace. The one-touch rule demands that you either discard, file, or act on a given memo or document (by, for instance, replying to it) immediately.  By dealing with incoming documents immediately, you avoid a build-up of unread documents. Label each folder clearly according to its contents.   For instance, you might label one folder “Budget - 2012” and place everything related to the 2012...

If your fear and anxiety are getting out of control, you probably need help. One place to start is a counselor. Talking to someone – a professional – will help you learn more about what is making you panic, why, and how to reduce and control your symptoms.  Try your school. Many schools have counselors on staff to help students get through problems just like this. Ask to make an appointment. Talk to a trusted adult. Let an adult that you trust like a parent, teacher, close relative, or school worker know what is going on. They can help you look in your area for licensed social worker, therapist, or doctor who can help. A therapist might start you on a program of something called “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy” or CBT. You’ll have regular sessions, work to identify what’s behind the attacks, and get rid of your fears and anxieties. CBT will also teach you ways to deal with future attacks. Your friends may not realize that you’re struggling with anxiety and panic attacks. They may not know what is going on, if or when you get an attack. Let them know – good friends will try to understand and help.  Friends can support you and help you through this tough time. If you feel comfortable (and you might not), you might let your other peers at school or work know what’s going on, too. Having friends who know about your condition will help if you have an attack, as well. They can reassure you, calm you, and be there until you improve. You might also join a peer support group. There are lots of people like you who have problems with anxiety. It sometimes helps to see that you’re not alone and learn how to manage the condition from each other.  See whether there are local groups where you live. In the Britain there are charity organizations like Anxiety UK that focus on anxiety-related issues, for instance.  Support groups often have face-to-face meetings, where you’ll be able to talk about your problems in person. Other times, they can offer guidance in writing or over the phone. You might also need to talk to a medical...

Order a tin of snus online or buy it from a tobacco shop. Snus comes in a variety of flavors, so you can pick something, like mint or citrus, that appeals you you.  Loose snus is the same product that is inside snus pouches. It can be messier since it is not packed neatly inside a pouch, but it also gives you more control over portion sizes. Loose snus comes in different strengths. If you are trying to quit nicotine, then choose a weaker variety so you don't increase your body's nicotine addiction. Grab the tin with your thumb on the bottom and your other fingers on the top. Turn it sideways and knock the side against a hard surface, like a table, a few times so that the snus packs to the side of the tin.  This will make it much easier to remove a compacted portion of snus from the tin. Make sure that the lid is on tightly before you do this so it doesn't accidentally come off when you knock it against something. Take the lid off the tin after you pack it, then pinch a small portion about the size of your fingertip or a little bigger out from the tin. Start with a portion on the smaller side and then work your way up to more when you get a feeling for how the snus feels in your mouth and affects you. You can pack and roll the snus between your fingers after you remove it from the tin to compact it and make it less messy if you prefer. Grab your upper lip with your other hand and pull it out away from your gums. Insert the portion of snus between your upper lip and gums wherever it is most comfortable, then release your upper lip so it snaps back into place and holds the snus there.  If you don’t mind the flavor, then you can use your tongue to help pack it in. However, this is not recommended because swallowing the snus can make you feel sick. You can put snus in your lower lip, but it is not recommended because it tends to generate more saliva which causes you to spit more. Hold the snus in for as long as you are feeling the nicotine buzz or until you no longer want to taste or feel it. You don’t need to...

The glass should be big enough to hold a fair amount of freshwater. Make sure the glass is short enough that you can still put it inside of the pot with the lid on it. Use a pot and lid that are meant to be heated on a stovetop. A Pyrex or metal cup is safest, as certain types of glass will explode when exposed to heat. Plastic may melt or deform. Do not overfill the pot. Stop well before the water level has reached the mouth of the glass. This will help to ensure that no saltwater splashes into the glass while it is boiling. You don't want to get any saltwater into the drinking glass, or your newly made fresh water will be contaminated. This will allow the water vapor to drip into the drinking glass as it condenses. Position the pot lid so that the highest point or handle of the lid is facing down towards the glass and is directly above the glass.  Make sure the pot lid has a good seal with the edges of the pot. Without a good seal, a lot of the steam will escape and this will reduce the supply of fresh water vapor. You will want to boil the water slowly over low heat. A violent full boil can contaminate the drinking water by splashing into the glass. Too much heat can cause the glass to break. If the water is boiling quickly and violently, the glass may shift away from the center of the pot and the handle of the pot lid. When water boils, it becomes pure vapor, leaving behind anything that was dissolved in it.  As the water becomes vapor, it condenses in the air as steam and on the lid's surface as water droplets. The droplets then run down to the lowest point (the handle) and drip right into the glass. This will probably take 20 minutes or more. The glass and water will be very hot. There may be a small amount of saltwater left in the pot, so be careful when removing the glass of freshwater not to splash any saltwater into your freshwater.   You might find that the glass and fresh water will cool faster if you remove it from the pot. Be careful as you remove the glass so you don't get burnt. Use an oven...

TL;DR in English: Get a large pot with a lid and an empty drinking cup. Pour some saltwater into the pot slowly. Place the pot cover upside down on the pot. Bring the water to a slow boil. Watch the pot as the water condenses. Wait a little while before drinking the water.

You can dance dabke to any music, as long as it has a consistent recognizable rhythm. Songs with a faster pace work best for this high-energy dance.  Traditional dabke music is performed live using a combination of instruments that usually include hand drums, woodwinds, and the oud. The band may play well-known songs or improvise, sometimes blending the two together. A vocalist also typically performs, singing songs that tell a story or are in some way significant to the event being held. Modern dabke can be done to either live music or a recording. Newer dabke music often blends traditional instruments with electronic beats. Some popular dabke artists make their music entirely digitally. Vocalists are less common in modern dabke music, with many popular songs having only a small singing part with some completely instrumental.  Even just a large group clapping can be danced to. Clapping can also be used in addition to music to help dancers keep rhythm and as a way for non-dancers to join in. Stand up straight, holding your neighbors' hands. Keep your feet spaced slightly apart with your left foot slightly in front. Try to line your feet up in parallel with your partners'. Swing your left foot towards your right side. Cross over your right foot with your left to take a step. At this point your legs should now be crossed. Step further to the right with your right foot. Uncross your legs by moving your right foot one step to the right. You should now be standing a few feet from where you were at the beginning of the dance but in the exact same position. Repeat the steps you just took. Cross your left leg in front of your right. Follow up by taking a step to the right. This whole sequence is called a "cross-over" and is the basic step of the dabke. Cross-overs may be done many times between other moves. Over the course of the dance, the chain may reverse directions. To accomplish this, simply switch your sides so that your right foot faces towards the front and crosses over your left leg. Swing your foot into a...

Your letter will open with a line that begins "Dear" followed by the name of the person who will receive the letter. Then your opening sentences will provide your name, the name of the candidate, and the reason for your letter.  Explain your relationship to the candidate and how long you've known them. If you have any special qualifications that make your reference more valuable, you should include those as well. Confirm details that are relevant to the candidate's application. If you've been their supervisor at work, you'll want to state the company where you've worked and your position, as well as their position (if relevant), how long they've worked at the company, and how long you've supervised them. For example, you might write "My name is Bob Brass, and I am a managing supervisor at Button Factory. I am writing as a reference for Joe Johnson, who has been under my supervision at Button Factory for the past five years." Immediately after your introduction, include a sentence that lists the skills or traits you will discuss in greater detail in the body of the letter.

Longhaired dachshunds are prone to ear problems. The warm, moist environment inside the ear is a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. If needed, use clippers to trim their hair on the inner flap of your dog’s ear. This helps to prevent tangles, and allows for good circulation so moisture and dirt don’t build up.  You'll need to trim your dog’s ear hair whenever the hair becomes fluffy or bushy, or when it is long enough to reach into their ear canal. Use clippers instead of scissors to reduce the risk of cutting your dog’s ear. In show terms, this is called the “flag.” Longhaired dachshunds tend to accumulate debris and tangles in this area of their coat. It’s a good idea to keep this hair trimmed. Not only will it be easier to brush and keep clean, it will help your dog to get around more easily. Using clippers, trim the hair so it does not reach the ground. It is a good idea to keep this area trimmed. Owners may even want to keep the hair fairly short in this area, especially if they are not using the dog for shows. Using a cotton ball and a dog ear cleaner solution, gently wipe the inside of your dog’s ears. According to the solution’s directions, place the correct amount in the ear and let it soak into the canal. Gently massage the base of the ear between your index finger and thumb for a few minutes, then let go and allow your dog to shake its head. This will help dislodge debris in the ear and expel the excess cleaning solution. Next, gently wipe the area around the outside of the ear canal to dislodge any wax. Check for any discharge from the ear canal.  It’s a good idea to check your dog’s ears each time you groom it. Since dachshunds are prone to ear problems, this helps you catch conditions early on.  Clean your dog’s ears any time you bathe or groom the dog to prevent infections caused by moisture in the ears. You can find ear cleaning solution for dogs at pet stores and large retailers. Dental health is very important in dachshunds. Regularly examine your dog’s mouth to look for any broken...

Apply a lash conditioner to your lashes every night.

Use a lash growth serum. Condition your lashes with oil. Take biotin supplements.

The Pearson correlation coefficient is luckily a good amount simpler to calculate than its constituent parts, the covariance and standard deviations. The correlation coefficient of X and Y, ρxy{\displaystyle \rho _{xy}}, is calculated as σxyσx×σy{\displaystyle {\frac {\sigma _{xy}}{\sigma {x}\times \sigma {y}}}}. In simple terms, it is the covariance of X and Y divided by the product of their standard deviations. For the example stocks, your equation would be set up as ρxy=0.19250.456×0.522{\displaystyle \rho _{xy}={\frac {0.1925}{0.456\times 0.522}}} Start by simplifying the bottom of the equation by multiplying the two standard deviations. Then, divide the covariance on the top by your result. The solution is your correlation coefficient. The coefficient is represented as a decimal between -1 and 1, rather than as a percentage.  Continuing with the example, the equation solves to ρxy=0.809{\displaystyle \rho _{xy}=0.809}. So, the correlation coefficient between returns on stocks X and Y is 0.809. Note that this result has been rounded to three decimal places. The square of the correlation coefficient, called R-squared, is also used to measure how closely the returns are linearly related. In simpler terms, it represents how much of the movement in one variable is caused by the other. It does, however, specify which variable acts upon the other (if X causes Y to move or if Y causes X to). Calculate R-squared by squaring your result for the correlation coefficient. For example, the R-squared value for the example correlation coefficient would be ρxy2=0.8092=0.654.{\displaystyle \rho _{xy}^{2}=0.809^{2}=0.654.}

TL;DR in English: Set up your correlation coefficient equation. Solve for the correlation coefficient. Calculate R-squared.

If you’re ready to throw out your mascara for good, you may want to invest in an eyelash growth serum. These products do just what their name suggests: make your lashes grow longer, with the help of peptides and other ingredients. However, prescription treatments are typically the only ones that work. Over-the-counter formulas usually just contain conditioning ingredients that may not necessarily help with growth. See a dermatologist to talk about your options.  In order to see results, you must apply the serum nightly. It’s also important to apply the serum right at the lashline. The hairs that make up the lashes are already dead, so applying it to them won’t make any difference. Good things take time, and this holds true for lash growth serum. It may take 2 to 6 months to see any results, so hang in there. Be aware that there are possible side effects associated with prescription lash growth serum. It has been known to discolor both the lid and iris of the eye. Lashes may break and fall off if they’re not properly moisturized and conditioned, which spells disaster for your longer-lash mission. Natural oils, such as olive, coconut, castor, and jojoba, are believed to help moisturize and strengthen your lashes so they can grow longer. Apply some to your lashes every night as part of your skin care routine.  Be patient and consistent with this process. You won’t see results overnight, so don't give up hope too soon! Give your lashes at least 2 to 3 months to respond. To apply the oil to your lashes, you can dab a small amount on your fingertips and run them over your lashes. However, for a more thorough coating, it’s better to dip a clean spoolie into the oil and then run it through your lashes like you would a mascara, minus the annoying clumping and smearing. Petroleum jelly can also work well as a lash conditioner to help your lashes grow longer. You can apply it to your lashes in the same way that you would an oil. Biotin is a vitamin that is thought to help strengthen weak, brittle hair, but it could give...

Be confident. Engage in physical activity. Take risks. Make your needs clear. Be assertive.

You'll probably want to be a female pirate if you are a female and vice versa, but it's up to you. Many female pirate depictions are quite inappropriate -- if you're not looking for that, consider just girling up a male pirate's outfit. This can help to guide your pirate costume crafting, but it's certainly not essential. It's likely to be useful where there is something unusual or fascinating about the costume of a particular pirate that you'd like to emulate.

TL;DR in English: Decide if you want to be a man or a woman. Find a pirate image.

Practice these confidence techniques when you speak to your co-workers and bosses. Guys don’t typically shy away from physical activities and sports, so you can act like a guy by participating too. Some activities that are traditionally associated with guys include:  Fishing Watching sports Biking Camping and hiking It seems that men are more willing to take risks when it comes to things like gambling and recreational activities, so part of acting like a guy can include being a little more willing to take risks than you might otherwise feel comfortable with. This might include:  Choosing to do something you know you might get in trouble for from your parents, such as playing good-natured practical jokes on friends and family. Just be careful that you don’t do anything illegal, because that’s not a good kind of risk. Engaging in activities where you could get hurt in a way that won’t be life-threatening, such as skateboarding, mountain biking, or trying weird new foods. Don’t be afraid to ask for something you want or need, and be specific about what it is. You can do this without being bossy or rude by still being polite and saying things like “please” and “thank you.” You can make your needs clear:  When you're at restaurants. Don’t let somebody else order for you, and be specific with the wait staff about what you want. For example, if you want your food a certain way, say “May I please have the veggie burger, hold the mayo, with a side-salad, and the dressing on the side.

Look for a charity that will accept a used puzzle. Carefully break down your completed puzzle and return the pieces to the box. Tape a note to the front of the box letting the recipient know that all the pieces are there, or if any are missing.  Many organizations and facilities for Alzheimer patients, senior centers, hospitals, and other non-profits, like Goodwill are eager to acquire puzzles. You can also just pack away your puzzle to assemble again in the future. Brush any lint or other debris from the surface of the puzzle. Grab a clean paintbrush or sponge, and a pot of white glue. Dip the brush or sponge into the glue and spread a thin, even layer over the surface of your puzzle. Wait for it to dry completely. Apply a second coat and let it dry completely. Carefully turn your puzzle over and coat the back with glue.  Slide a piece of cardboard or butcher paper under your puzzle to protect the surface of the furniture or floor underneath the puzzle. Try this with ordinary white glue, decoupage glue, or puzzle preserver. Once you’ve preserved the puzzle, you can use it for other crafts. your puzzle. Buy a premade frame or make your own. Preserve the puzzle with glue before framing. Handle your puzzle very carefully during the framing process. Buy a ¼” (0.635 cm) thick piece of foam board that is larger on all sides than your puzzle. Put your puzzle on the board and mark the perimeter of the jigsaw on the board with a pencil. Slide the jigsaw off the board and use a hobby knife to trim the board so it will fit exactly against the back of your puzzle. Glue your puzzle to the back of the board.  Use a very strong glue or spray adhesive so the puzzle won’t fall off the board. Weigh down the puzzle on the board to ensure it adheres. Try using heavy, flat objects like books.

TL;DR in English: Donate your puzzle. Glue your puzzle. Frame Make your own frame.

The best way to begin a conflict resolution is by being a good listener. Instead of talking, criticizing, or offering your opinion early on in the conversation, sit silently and let the other person talk. Don't interrupt the other person, and let him speak frankly but respectfully. When emotions run high, it can be difficult to tell what exactly started the whole situation. This may be particularly true if someone comes to you with frustrations about something you've done and begins throwing around accusations. The only way to arrive at a mutually-beneficial solution is to listen to the person's concerns, let him feel validated, and understand what action, words, or lack of action/words led to the current situation.  Start out by asking open-ended questions, such as "What's wrong?" or "Why do you feel upset over ______?" Let the person vent his frustrations or talk out the problem with you. Once you think you've determined the cause of the problem, ask a "yes or no" (closed-ended) question to confirm that that is the underlying problem. For example, you might ask something like, "I just want to make sure I understand what you're saying. Are you saying that the problem is you felt disrespected when you heard _______?" Remember that the person who initiated the confrontation is probably feeling very hurt, and may be speaking/acting out of an emotional space. Don't take anything that's said to you personally, as the situation at its core probably has nothing to do with you as a person.  Try not to let your feelings cloud your reaction. You can do this by using calming techniques. Use deep breathing to stabilize your mood before you respond. Draw in a slow breath for four seconds, hold it for two seconds deep down in your diaphragm (as opposed to shallow breathing through the chest), and exhale slowly for six seconds. It can be difficult to put yourself in another person's shoes, but this is essential in problem solving and compromising. Even if you don't think you're in the wrong, try setting aside your own...

Choose a color for your flowers that matches another item on the coffee table to accentuate that color. Alternatively, choose a color that matches or contrasts with a major color in your room’s decorating scheme. For example, if you have yellow wainscotting, display yellow flowers. Flowers also allow you to add color to your room.  For example, use dark red flowers to match coffee table books with dark red dust jackets. Brighten up a dark room with white flowers or some attractive greenery. Faux leaves or succulents can give a pop of life. Choose a vase that reflects the style you are trying to convey. Pick an artistic or elegant vase as the centerpiece for your coffee table. Don’t limit yourself to traditional vases. Antique pitchers and other attractive containers that will hold water and flowers can serve as a vase.  For example, put flowers with large, single bloom flowers in old mason jars for a rustic look. For a nautical theme, fill an old hurricane lamp with flowers. Filling a vase or bowl with water and scattering petals on top creates a dreamy and romantic mood. Choose flowers that won’t be dwarfed by a large vase. If you have a vase that can only hold a few stems, keep your floral arrangement simple. Keep taller vases to the sides of the coffee table so that people can see each other if they are seated across your coffee table and so they don’t obstruct the view of the television isn’t obstructed. Alternatively, use shorter flowers and vases in the center of the table. Add a green, living element to your coffee table with a houseplant. Put the plants in nice planters that complement your decor. Choose succulents for a very low-maintenance alternative to houseplants. Use a terrarium or glass bowls to best display and show off succulents.

TL;DR in English: Pick flowers in one color. Make a statement with your vase. Find the right size and number of flowers. Choose an alternative to flowers.

Try to invest some feeling into the handshake and pleasantries, even if you think you bombed the interview. The interviewer should give you a time frame for when to expect to get a callback, if applicable.  Hold your head high and keep your cool. Your emotions are probably teetering at the highest of highs or the lowest of lows, but try to stay measured. Project a cool confidence — not cockiness — and walk out of the interview with your head held high. If the interviewer does not tell you when they will contact you if you're a good fit for the position, it's appropriate to ask, "When can I expect to hear back from you about the position?" This will prove important later on. Now is a good time to thank the person you interviewed with, even if it's just a formality. You can say something like:   "Dear [interviewer's name], Thank you for the opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you. I remain very impressed by [interviewer's company], and invite you to contact me if you have any further questions. I look forward to hearing from you about this position."  If you missed any important points in your interview you wanted to stress, you may include one or two in the thank-you letter. Keep the points brief, and tie them into a discussion point that you or the interviewer made during the interview. If you received any help in getting the interview, follow up with appropriate parts of your network. Inform them that you received an interview, are grateful they helped you in your career search, and would be eager to help them in the future. You should have received some information about when you could expect to hear back from the employer. The standard time is about two weeks, but it can depend. If you've waited past the designated callback date — or the callback date wasn't set and it's been two weeks — follow up with the interviewer in a short email. You can say something like:   "Dear [interviewer's name], I interviewed at your company [at such and such date], and am still interested in the position if it...

To quote a song worth kissing to, “If you think that is a kiss is all in the lips, come on, you’ve got it all wrong.”  The intensity of a kiss is determined by so much more than the kiss itself, and eye contact is where many kisses begin.  Intentionally pause right before impact for a moment of pure and unadulterated eye contact. A powerful moment of eye contact can actually be the breaking point of passion, pulling you in to one another for a kiss that is already unforgettable. Break eye contact by looking at their lips. Let them know what you’re thinking about with your eyes. This is harder than you think.  The better the kiss, the worse your memory.  That said, oxygen-deprivation is a far-too-common reason that kisses do not achieve their full potential.  Make breathing breaks sexy by allowing your partner to feel your breath, though only barely. Evince your nervous energy and excitement with flattering exhalations. It’s a deeply gratifying feeling to literally take someone’s breath away. If someone takes yours, make sure they know it. The impact made the first time your lips meet someone else’s can be completely and incredibly disorienting.  Allow gravity to fall away by letting your lips linger on your partner’s skin. Time and space will distort accordingly.  That said, don’t hold back.  Don’t feel as though you should hesitate and let your partner lead, unless this is what you want and have been clear about your desires. If you’re interested, act like it and initiate! Immerse yourself fully in every kiss, but especially the first few times your lips touch one another’s. Allow yourself the freedom and enjoyment of fully enjoy another person’s affection. When you pull away, your eyes will already be sharing exactly how you felt about the endeavor, and you’ll already have forgotten everything else about your day.

TL;DR in English: Make eye contact. Remember to breathe. Take your time.

After your paint has dried, begin applying your wax. You can use a product like Annie Sloan’s Clear Soft Wax or Minwax Paste Finishing Wax, which will bond to the paint to create a lasting and durable finish. Use a wax brush or soft cloth to apply the wax. Work in small sections and rub the wax into the surface in circular motions. Once you’ve covered the entire piece, wait 10-15 minutes and apply another, final coat. Use a brand new cloth and work in the same manner as before, rubbing the wax into the piece in small sections. Use a separate rag to remove any excess wax as you go along. When you are finished, swipe a finger across the surface to make sure there are no streaks. If you see one, simply run a clean cloth over the area to remove the extra wax. It takes wax 21 days to cure completely, so be careful with your furniture until then. Once the wax dries, reinstall any hardware you removed before you painted. Be careful of the wax that is still curing when you put each item back on. This is also a good time to clean older hardware or to replace the previous pieces with brand new handles, knobs, or decorative items.

As science and math are vital to a career in medicine, encourage your child to develop a curiosity about the subjects. You can find a lot of moments in daily life related to science and math.  Science and math are found virtually everywhere, so point out examples whenever possible. If your child loves sports, for example, talk about the anatomy of an athlete. What muscles and bones does a hockey player need to develop? Talk about math in terms of everyday things like cooking. You can try doubling a cookie recipe, for example, and have your child figure out how to convert the measurements. Many children may protest doing science and math homework because it's "too hard." Rather than trying to argue with this, acknowledge that the subjects are hard. Explain to your child that challenges can be fun and exciting.  Tell your child a hard problem is not impossible. Say something like, "Yes, these problems are hard, but think of how exciting it will be to really master this subject. Don't you want to understand how chemistry works?" You should also let your child know being wrong is not a bad thing. Many children develop anxiety over answering a question wrong. To this, say something like, "A lot of scientists came up with wrong answers to questions for years. Part of the scientific process is being wrong sometimes." A wrong answer should be seen as a learning opportunity rather than a failure. There are probably many places in your community where your child could learn about math and science. Make a point of visiting these places with your child over the summer and on the weekends.  Take your child to a local museum, aquarium, planetarium, zoo, and science center. Your child will have fun, while being exposed to math and science as subjects. Programs like 4-H, the Girl Scouts, and Boys and Girls Club may sometimes have community events. Some of these events may be aimed at teaching children about math and science. Try taking your child to one of these events. You may not have loved math and science yourself as a...

You might see yourself as a talented counselor or friendly shoulder to cry on. However, you may not be the best mediator for every conflict resolution. Make sure you have a close, but impartial relationship with both parties.  Family members make the best mediators for sibling disputes. Parents, older siblings, or neighborhood friends are good people to turn to for conflict resolution. Workplace disputes are a little more sensitive because there are laws and policies in place to control conflicts. Supervisors or human resource personnel are usually the appropriate parties to resolve conflicts. Check with your company handbook before acting as a formal or informal mediator. Tell the two parties you want to help them work through their differences. Find a time they can both get together to discuss their conflict. They won’t be able to openly discuss their feelings until they are in a room together with that intention. They may find a time themselves, or you may have to make suggestions.  This will be easy if it is, for example, a workplace dispute. A supervisor can tell them that their work is suffering and they are required to discuss their conflict. Getting two fighting friends in the same room to settle a conflict may be more tricky. The most straightforward way is to tell each of them you want to help them talk through their problems with each other. If it is too sensitive an issue, you might need to invite them to the same get together without saying anything about the other person. This is a risky move, however. You don’t need to control the entire conversation, as this may hinder organic conflict resolution. However, you might consider saying a few opening words to get them started. After all, they should know that their conflict is obvious to an impartial observer, and therefore potentially harmful. This implicit fact may bring home the reality of their conflict.  For example, you may need to explain more to children. Try telling each of them why their conflict is unhealthy and harmful. Remind them how...

Whether you decide on specializing in close-up magic or grandiose stage illusions, to perform and execute your trick well you will need to be in peak physical condition. Operating props, wrestling out of chains, or making a quick change behind a satin curtain are all physically strenuous. Your audience seeing you out of breath could leave them thinking you're less than magical.  Renowned magician and illusionist, Harry Houdini, was reportedly in such good shape and of such remarkable toughness that he would claim he could withstand any punch to the stomach.  Consider an aerobic exercise, like cycling, jogging, or swimming. The backstage behind a performance can be quite hectic, and some aerobic fortitude will help you pull off your act. Some strength training, like moderate weight lifting, can be an asset as well. Some of your equipment is bound to be heavy, and if it's an important part of your illusion, you might not want anyone else setting it up. A little muscle would help, in such a case. When you become a famous illusionist, people will constantly try to catch you off guard and reveal you to be an ordinary man. Exceptional reflexes will not only help protect your reputation, but could also save your life. Some magic, especially the more daring escapology tricks, can be very dangerous.

Depending on the type of headset you have, you will see one or more of the following wires:   3.5 mm audio out - This is the standard audio-out plug-in that you see on headphones and speaker systems. 3.5 mm connectors plug into headphone ports, and are usually green in color. Typically, 3.5 mm audio-out ports also support audio-in (e.g., microphones).  3.5 mm microphone - Some headsets have a separate 3.5 mm jack for audio input as well. These are usually pink.  USB - USB connectors are flat and rectangular. These plug into USB ports on your computer. Laptop PCs typically have the 3.5 mm audio-out port on the left, right, or front side of the housing, while desktop PCs may have these ports on the front or back of the CPU box. Microphone ports are usually pink, while headphone ports are usually green.  On laptops that don't have color-coded ports, the audio-in port will have an image of headphones next to it and the microphone input will have an image of a microphone next to it. USB port locations vary from computer to computer, but you'll normally find them near the audio ports. Plug the headset's cables into the appropriate locations on your computer. Some headsets require external power sources, though most will be powered via USB if this is the case. If you need to attach your headset to an external power source (e.g., a wall socket), do so.

Technical writers usually have a college degree. Having a relevant degree or training in the field can multiply your chances of landing technical writing jobs. If you are looking to start school, explore degrees in writing and communication.  Technical writing degrees normally give you the option of technical, medical, and scientific options for your degree. You need to select the option that interests you the most. You can go for a double major in writing and another field that you are interested in, such as biology, computer science, graphic design, pre-law, engineering, or mechanics. If you already have a degree, keep on updating your credentials through an associate degree or certification in technical writing. Taking classes will help you get practice with technical writing and learn tips of the trade. Adding credentials will give you a competitive edge and can mean more job opportunities.   You can also get an associate degree or certificate in communications, English, or journalism. These three fields also train you in writing and some offer a concentration in technical writing. Getting an associate degree is longer than gaining a certificate. A certificate also offers more concentrated classes on a topic, whereas an associate degree will give you more options in the types of classes you can take.  A lot of technical writing certificate programs are available online. Taking an online class is something you can do in your free time to build your knowledge and skills. Technical writers don’t just write; they also prepare documents with diagrams, images, and videos. Making a document with different media requires knowledge of a variety of software programs, like Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe FrameMaker, Madcap Flare, Adobe Creative Suite, Lotus Notes and Microsoft Visio.

You may no longer be interested in the previous version of a popular game, those building block sets meant for “little” kids, or last year’s must-have Christmas toy that’s still in the box.  But odds are someone else is.  With an adult’s assistance, set up an account on one of the many auction or direct-seller sites.  You probably won’t break the bank, but you may be surprised by how much people are willing to pay for good-condition items. If you have older relatives or people without the time or computer skills to sell their stuff online, you can also offer to do it for them — for  a reasonable cut of the profits. Make sure you can always deliver on what you sell.  Don’t exaggerate the quality or condition of your items, and ship them out properly and on time.  Otherwise your career in sales likely won’t last long. People love to be able to scour product reviews before buying online, and companies love receiving favorable reviews.  Done smartly, you can earn some extra cash legitimately by writing reviews.  There are plenty of product review schemes and scams to watch out for, however.  A large number of websites offer to pay for product reviews, and many seem to come and go out of business quickly.  You can opt to work through affiliate programs run by large companies like Amazon (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/), which may offer you some more confidence in its legitimacy and stability. A better avenue may be to review products for independent, ad-supported sites that compensate you for your work.  For instance, there are sites that review children’s books that pay a small amount for accepted reviews. This is another area where there is legitimate money available, but also a lot of scams and fraudulent sites.

Ask about their feelings, and share yours with as well. Be honest and open about your joys and fears. Listen to what they have to say, and ask follow-up questions when they are telling you something.  Make time for conversations even on busy days. Get into a routine where you regularly check in. You may always eat dinner together, for example. When your spouse wants to talk, make time for them. If you don't have time, suggest a later opportunity. Consult your partner about matters that affect you both. Show your partner that their opinion matters to you. If you disagree, do not dismiss the disagreement. Listen to your partner's logic, ask questions, and change your mind if they are right. The Prophet sought the advice of his wife 'Hazrat Ayesha, and followed her good counsel. Avoid telling lies. If you're not truthful with your spouse, they will never trust you. You will also become suspicious if you lie.  If you find yourself becoming secretive, ask yourself what you are afraid of. Try to work through that issue. For instance, if you hide purchases because your spouse gets angry when you spend money, talk to your spouse about this problem. Work out a budget you can both agree on, and stick to it. Do not depend on your spouse to do all the cooking, cleaning, and planning. Be like the Prophet and engage in household tasks.  'Hazrat Ayesha was asked about the manners of the Prophet in his home, and she replied: "He would be helping in doing the family duties and when he hears the call of prayer he goes out." 'Hazrat Ayesha reported that the Prophet used to mend his shoes, sew his clothes and work in his household, "just as one of you works in his own house." She also reported that he was a man among men who used to "patch his clothes, milk his goats and engage himself in work." How your spouse is feeling should always matter to you.

Hop cones that are heavy and green aren't ready yet. Be patient; your hops might not ripen until early fall. First year plants may not yield a lot; they hit their peak during the second year.  Harvesting times may vary by regional climate. Until you're ready to use them, hops should be stored in airtight food storage bags in the refrigerator. If you won't be using them for awhile, you can freeze them. Properly stored hops will stay fresh for about a year.

TL;DR in English: Examine the cones for ripeness in late summer. Store the hops in zip close baggies in your fridge.

If you plan to use seafood, it should be added near the end because it cooks more quickly. Stew meats are generally less expensive, tougher cuts of meat. The braising process breaks down the fats in the meat, tenderizing them. Choose meats like pork shoulder, chicken thighs, chuck roast, bottom round, or even meats labeled "stew meat." Defrosting in the microwave right before can change some of the stew flavors because it may cook some of the meat too quickly. Cut 1 to 2-inch (2.5 to 5cm) pieces of meat. The size will depend upon your preference.  Generally, the longer the cooking time, the bigger your pieces of meat should be. You do not want your meat to overcook. Not all meat needs to be cut before adding it to a stew. Chicken thighs, chicken wings and short ribs can be cooked with the bone in and removed while eating. Dredge your meat pieces in flour. This will give them a crispy edge and give the stew a more complex flavor. Pour 1 to 2 tbsp. (15 to 30ml) of oil into the bottom of the pan to coat it. Brown it on all sides. This should take approximately 5 to 8 minutes with 2 lbs. (0.9kg) of meat. Place a towel or foil over the top to keep it warm.

Most manager positions require that you at least have your high school diploma or GED.  In addition to your high school degree, consider completing a two-year or four-year hospitality management degree.  This degree can give you an edge during hiring and will help you learn valuable management skills quickly. A degree program can also help you find quality internship placements and gain valuable experience with reputable employers. This will help you determine where you want to get entry-level experience to best prepare you for your career.  What size restaurant do you prefer? Managing a small restaurant can be a quite different experience from managing a restaurant that seats 300 people a night. What style service are you looking for? Fine dining? Casual? Fast casual? Do you have a preferred culinary style? For example, you might know that you’d love to manage a sushi restaurant or a fine-dining Italian restaurant. In becoming a restaurant manager, there is no substitute for seeing how a restaurant works by working in one.  Try to apply for jobs in restaurants that have similar qualities to the type of restaurant you’d like to manage. Many managers start in front of house positions, as a waiter or waitress, but you can also start in a kitchen position, if you are really interested in learning the food side of the business. No matter where you start, take an interest in the business. Ask questions to employees who have worked at the restaurant for a while. Take an interest in how other people work, and ask about positions other than your own. Be willing and eager to take on additional responsibilities. If you are pursing a degree program, working in a restaurant while you study is a great way to make a living and also gain experience. If this is the case, let your managers know. Likely, they will want to give you extra responsibilities and teach you on the job. Look for locally owned spots. Often, if you work at a locally owned restaurant, you’ll be able to meet the owner and managers. You’ll get a better...

Like your meal plan for healthy eating, spend some time thinking about what types of exercise you'd like to include for your activity.  There are many different ways to be active.  The more you enjoy your workouts, the more likely you are to stick with them long-term. Consider what types of activity you may want to include.  It is important to include both cardio and strength training activity each week for the best overall exercise and health benefits.  Gyms are a great place to join if you want to work on adding in physical activity.  You have access to group classes, cardio machines, weight machines and personal training staff. If you're not one for the gym, consider what activities you can do at home.  You may want to purchase exercise DVDs, plan a walking/running route or find free online videos. Find activities you want to do each week and schedule them into your day and week. One main type of exercise is aerobic exercise (cardio).  These activities have a lot of great health benefits when done on a regular and weekly basis.  The USDA recommends doing about 150 minutes or 2 1/2 hours of moderate-intensity cardio activity each week.   Moderate intensity activities are those that make you sweat and get your heart rate elevated for at least 10 – 20 minutes.  The benefits associated with cardio exercises include:  weight loss or healthy weight support, decreased risk of diabetes and high blood pressure, decreased risk for obesity, improved mood and sleep habits.  Do a combination of activities that you've planned out.  They can be anything from swimming, dancing, hiking, walking or doing a gym aerobics class. In addition to cardio, you should do strength training each week.  These exercises offer different health benefits than cardio and will help round out your physical activity regimen.  Strength or resistance training exercises aim to help build your lean muscle mass.  The benefits include more dense and hard bones, decreased risk of osteoporosis, increases in lean muscle mass and increased metabolism. ...

All chemicals, including substances like window cleaner or antibacterial cleaner, have the ability to remove the protective coating on the screen, which will inevitably result in a shorter life for your device. Never use a substance other than water to clean the screen.  Don't use cleaners meant for LCD screens, either. Those are meant for a different type of material, and they're harmful to iPhone and iPod Touch screens. Even natural substances like vinegar and lemon juice are too abrasive for cleaning the screen of an iPhone or iPod screen. Water is fine to use in very small amounts, but it should never be directly poured or dripped on the screen. Always use a microfiber cloth to transfer a little moisture to the screen, and make sure to wipe it off right away with a dry cloth.  Submerging an iPhone or iPod Touch in water is a sure way to ruin it. Don't try to soak it in an effort to remove a stubborn stain. If you accidentally get too much water on the screen, examine the user manual that came with your device to determine what steps you can take to fix it. Using an abrasive towel, or even a paper towel or napkin, can scratch and damage the screen of an iPhone or iPod Touch. If you lost the cloth that came with your device, you can pick up a new one at a computer store, or use a cloth meant for cleaning the lenses on glasses. If your device's screen has been damaged by a stain that won't wipe away, check out the warranty that came with it to determine whether you can take it in to have it cleaned or repaired. Trying to do so yourself may result in further damage.

Warm saline water rinsed through your sinus cavity is known as “nasal irrigation” and can help dissolve mucus and ease nasal congestion. Be sure to use clean saline water each time you Use a Neti Pot, and disinfect it thoroughly after each use. If you think your sinus problems might be the result of a sinus infection, then you might benefit from taking grapefruit seed extract supplements. There is no scientific evidence that this method works, but some believe grapefruit seed extract has powerful antibiotic properties, and its high vitamin C content may help fight infection.  Sinus infections need to be diagnosed by a doctor. Classic symptoms include a thick/white discharge, nasal congestion, tooth discomfort, and facial pain or pressure that is made worse when the person leans forward or someone taps on his sinuses. Be aware that  both viruses and bacteria can cause sinusitis. Bacterial infections need to be treated with antibiotics and viruses do not respond to treatment. There is no good way to differentiate between the two, so try waiting a few days to see if the infection improves on its own or with home remedies. If not, see a doctor for treatment. As anyone who eats spicy foods knows, enough spice can cause a runny nose. If you’re experiencing congestion, try eating spicy foods to loosen and thin out the mucus in your sinuses. Cayenne pepper and horseradish are good options. Dry air causes nosebleeds and sinus pain and pressure. Invest in a humidifier for your home. For best results, you need to sit or sleep near your humidifier. Don’t keep it across the room, where it won’t do you any good. Avoid making your home too humid, which can promote the growth of mold and dust mites, both of which are bad for people with nasal allergies. Less than 50% humidity is ideal. Nasal strips are sticky cloth strips that go over the bridge of the nose and physically hold nasal passages open to relieve stuffy noses. These are available in any drugstore or convenience store.

Benzoyl peroxide is one of the most effective acne treatments. It is found in many face washes. Wash your face when you wake up in the morning and before going to bed at night.  If you can find one, use a face wash that contains exfoliating particles to help smooth your skin. If you have acne on other parts of your body such as your shoulders, back, and chest, give these areas a scrubbing twice daily as well with the same cleanser as you use on your face. If you wear makeup, never go to bed without washing it all off. Sleeping with makeup on is a surefire way to increase your pimple-count and make getting rid of your acne even more difficult.

Posting a death notice/obituary is a good way to let people know about the deceased's passing. It is also a nice way to pay tribute to that individual. Most newspapers will run the death notice for one day, with the option of running it multiple days for an added price. Many newspapers also post the obituary online, which will be accessible indefinitely.  Be aware of the cost. Some newspapers charge over $100 to print a death notice/obituary, and they can be even more expensive if you include a photograph. Some newspapers restrict the size of a death notice. For example, the Chicago Tribute has a minimum of the deceased's name and three lines of text, with a maximum of 70 lines of text. There is usually a deadline on how quickly a newspaper can print the death notice. For example, some newspapers require notice by a certain time the day before the notice is to be printed, while other publications may require even more time. You'll need to provide the deceased's full name, age, date and place of birth, date and residence at death, the names of the deceased's immediate family, any surviving relatives' names, any hobbies or accomplishments of the deceased, and any funeral or memorial service information you have. It's up to you and your family to decide how many people to notify and invite to the funeral. You may wish to have a small, private ceremony, or you may want a lot of people there, depending on how big the deceased's circle of family and friends are. Some important people to notify of the deceased's passing, if not invite to the service, include:  any relatives, friends, and close neighbors the employer of the deceased (if he or she was still working at the time of death) a religious officiant, if the deceased was an active member of some religious community Most funeral ceremonies and casket viewings involve a floral display.

You’ll have to go a locality where you can fish for Alligator gar, for starters. That means packing up and heading south to the lower Mississippi river and the Gulf of Mexico.  Places in Louisiana like the Henderson Swamp and Lake Pontchartrain near New Orleans have Gator gar. In Texas, try the Colorado, Trinity, Guadeloupe, Sabine, or other large rivers or Lake Livingston. Alligator gar spawn in the spring, around April, but the best time to look for them is in the summer in July or August or whenever is hottest.  Concentrate on slack water or sloughs. Gator gar like to hang out in slow waters and especially like to congregate in deep holes near shallower water, where they can surface to feed. Keep your eyes open for large river bends that naturally create deep holes surrounded by sandbars. Alternately, you might try an oxbow lake. These are lakes that were once bends in a large river but silted over, became cut off from the main stream, and are slack water except for during floods. Alligator gars are extremely large and will need very heavy gear. Growing up to 200 pounds or more, with sharp teeth, you’ll need to be well prepared and to have a clear plan for what to do when (or if) you hook one.  Most people use a large circle hook attached to a steel leader as a rig – this is because the fish is generally pretty hard to hook. Some people use a treble hook, however. You’ll want to have a stiff composite rod with pretty robust-strength test line. A typical strength is anywhere from 30 to 100 pounds and a reel capable of spinning out 150 to 200 yards. Bait up with a small fish like a whole, descaled mullet. Other people will use live bait like shiners, scad, carp, or perch. Cast into the deeper areas, as this is where a gator gar will most likely find your bait. Gar like to swim away once they have taken the bait, so allow it to take a bit of line before setting your hook.  Don’t set the hook too early. Otherwise, you will hook the fish in a poor place or dislodge the hook entirely.  Wait for about seven...

This is a combination you can never go wrong with. The best part about it is that you can wear it pretty much anywhere: meeting up with friends, going to a concert, hanging out in a park, or almost anything else you can think of. The best thing about a one- or two-tone look is that it will never go out of style. Match black jeans with black sneakers, or white jeans with white sneakers. Mix it up and wear black jeans with white sneakers, or white jeans with black sneakers. Try to play around with shades, such as dark and light grays and tans for a modern take on the classic look.  For example, you could wear dark gray jeans with black sneakers or light gray jeans with white sneakers. If you want a more bold take on this classic outfit, try matching colored jeans with sneakers of the same color or a similar hue! If you want to go for a breezy, vintage vibe, this is one of the easiest ways to do it! Choose jeans that are more form fitting through the waist and thighs and then open up at the calf, and throw on a pair of classic low-top, canvas sneakers. To complete this look, add a vintage or oversized graphic tee and tuck it into the jeans, or wear a simple, flowy top! For the jeans, go with a solid color, like light or dark blue, white, or black. Then pair them with a pair of vibrantly-colored sneakers, or a pair that has a bold pattern. Break out those cool shoes that you’ve been looking for an excuse to wear! These jeans have a little more room through the leg and don’t taper as much, which means they won’t clash with high-top sneakers. You can choose to wear the pants so they cover the top of the shoe, or cuff them to show that part off. Either way, you'll look great! Cuffing your jeans helps create a modern silhouette and can bring attention to a cool pair of sneakers. Beyond that, cuffing also helps if you need shorter jeans but don't have time to head to a tailor. Make a first cuff that is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long, and then repeat this for a second one. When cuffing, you should aim to have your jeans...

You may want to keep ducks as pets, for meat, for egg production or as an organic way of controlling pests in the garden. There are four main types of duck: domestic, dabbling, diving and sea ducks. Domestic ducks are the type most people choose for their needs. All breeds of domestic duck are descended from the common Mallard duck except the Muscovy duck. Non-domestic ducks, or “Wildfowl”, spend a long time on the water and will need their wings pinioned when they are very young or else they will fly off. They require a large pond or lake and are unlikely to tame. All of these breeds are visually appealing and make good pets.  Call ducks are named for the noises they make so be careful of getting a call duck if you do not want to upset your neighbors. They are small and gray or white, and many people choose them for their smallness of size but they are good fliers and will need their wings clipped every so often. Cayuga ducks have beautiful iridescent green plumage and are very quiet, but can be hard to find. Pekin ducks are large and white and one of the most popular breeds of ducks. They are calm and have a relaxed temperament. Rouen ducks have the same coloring as mallard ducks (green neck and head and iridescent areas on the body) and are very calm and sociable. Muscovy ducks are very quiet and have been bred in many different colors. They are descendants of tree birds and thus might need their wings clipped periodically to keep them from flying away. You will want to choose a breed that matures quickly, produces tasty meat and are heavier. Many people prefer ducks with a white plumage because it is easier to get a clean looking carcass.  Pekin ducks are one of the most popular ducks for meat production because they are ready to butcher at 7 weeks, high meat-yielding and have a white plumage. At 7 weeks you can expect a 6lb bird, they are much bigger at 12 weeks (9lbs) but the feather become very hard to remove. They also lay a decent number of eggs in the year (varies according to location- in the UK...

TL;DR in English: Decide why you want to breed ducks. Consider call, cayuga, pekin, rouen or muscovy ducks if you want a pet. Consider Pekin, Muscovy, Rouen or Aylesbury ducks for meat production. Consider Khaki Campbell or Indian Runner ducks for egg production. Consider Indian Runner, Khaki Campbell, or call ducks to biologically control pests. Make sure your ducks can access water.

For many people, migraines and the subsequent symptoms—including nausea—are triggered by sources that they can control or reduce their exposure to. Keep track of what you were doing shortly before your migraine came on over the course of several attacks, and see if you can find a consistent trigger. Common ones include:  Emotional or physical fatigue due to stress or exertion Abrupt changes in weather Altitude Motion such as from travel Poor sleep Missing meals Certain smells Hormonal changes, such as in menstruating women Specific foods and beverages, including aged cheese, chocolate, red wines, coffee, beer, etc. (also, certain food additives such as monosodium glutamate and nitrates) Your doctor will be able to provide prescriptions to a wide selection of different medications that have shown efficacy in managing nausea and other migraine symptoms. These medications often require trial and error to discover which combination works best to control your symptoms.  If you are vomiting at least three times a day, you need to see your doctor. Vomiting too much will predispose you to fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Be sure to see your doctor if you develop a worsening headache. A bleeding blood vessel might be causing the problem. Visit your doctor if your migraine headache is accompanied by fever, stiff neck, seizures, double vision, numbness, difficulty in speaking, and other unusual manifestations. Triptans are some of the most common prescription drugs used to treat migraines. They constrict blood vessels and block pain pathways to your brain to alleviate various symptoms of migraines. They are available in various forms—such as pills, nasal sprays, and injections—and the medications include:  Sumatriptan (Imitrex) Rizatriptan (Maxalt) Almotriptan (Axert) Naratriptan (Amerge) Zolmitriptan (Zomig) Frovatriptan (Frova) Eletriptan (Relpax) To deal directly with the nausea from your migraines, you can also ask your doctor about anti-nausea medications. He or she will likely prescribe one in combination with a...
