If you're not sure where to start, you can always start with a basic cake layer. You can also use a layer of frosting to make a layer of frosting for a layer of cake.

Use the cake within 2 months. Place the covered layers in the refrigerator overnight. Frost your cake straight from the fridge. Avoid going straight to the counter for defrosting.

You should identify areas that you may potentially be hired based on the languages you speak, your nationality and the job you perform. For example, if you speak English and French, you will want to look in those countries and Switzerland or Belgium. It is no longer very easy to travel to a country and apply for jobs while you are there. Most people should establish their training in their own country and apply for jobs or visas before going abroad. People with medical degrees, certain engineering degrees, entrepreneurs, investors and certain mechanics may be able to apply for an eased work permit or they may not be required to have a European work permit at all.  In the UK, investors, entrepreneurs, people with exceptional talent and some graduate students or graduate entrepreneurs can apply for a point-based visa system. For many of these categories, there are a limited number of visas, so make sure you apply early. Elsewhere in Europe, countries are either adopting a points-based system, like the UK, that awards a value based upon your skills and experience. This is a response to supplement the skills of an aging population. Many countries, such as Switzerland, specify that a company must sponsor a non-EU citizen. However, for certain positions, they may not be required to offer the job in their country beforehand. This is the most common path to get a skilled job in a European country, because your company will help you apply for the visa before you move. You can search for jobs by specific companies, or you can go online to job aggregate sites, like Monster, CareerBuilder and Indeed and look for jobs located in Europe. Many domestic programs are cheaper and well respected in Europe. Visit websites like eslemployment.com, teachaway.com, languagecorps.com to begin researching positions in EU and non-EU countries.  If you have an education degree, you can apply for work in international, military and immersion schools abroad. As well as applying online, you may attend international teaching job fairs to...

TL;DR in English: Decide where you would like to work. Decide how you would like to work. Get a degree in a discipline that is currently in demand in Europe. Search for international companies to sponsor your work visa. Get your TEFL certificate in your country. Become an au pair. Request a residence visa for study or living with family.

While you can freeze cake layers for much longer, the quality will start to degrade after a few months. It will still be safe to eat for up to a year, though. Like whole cakes, layers thaw best in the refrigerator. However, individual layers may defrost a bit faster than whole cakes, so you may get away with only 12-16 hours in the fridge instead of 24 hours. Use the layers within 2 days, as they'll likely get stale after that. You don't need to let it warm up on the counter before you frost it. It will warm up while you're working with it. In fact, it's easier to frost a previously frozen cake layer because it doesn't create as many crumbs. After frosting, add any decorations you'd like, such as piping, sprinkles, or chocolate shavings.  It can still be lightly frozen in the center if you're frosting it on the counter. You may even be able to get away without doing a crumb layer of frosting. When you leave a frozen cake out on the counter, it tends to get mushy. Don't try to speed up the process by just leaving the cake layers on the counter.

Choose a sunny spot to plant your fig tree. Plant your fig tree in a large plastic container if you live in a cold climate. Plant your fig tree in well-draining soil. Mulch the soil around your fig tree with 3 inches (7.6 cm) of compost. Repot your fig tree

Research agencies that have signed petite models. Go to open calls for modeling agencies. Ask questions when you are rejected by an agency. Think it through before signing with an agent. Attend any go-sees that your agency sets up.

Fig trees need a lot of direct sunlight to thrive. Pick any spot in your yard that gets year-round sunlight. Make sure there aren't any nearby trees or structures that will block the sun from reaching your fig tree. If temperatures drop below 10 °F (−12 °C), fig trees buried in the ground may struggle to survive. Planting your fig tree in a plastic container will help shelter it from the cold. Use a large plastic patio container relative to the size of your fig tree. If you do plant your fig tree in a plastic container, make sure you have somewhere sunny to put it. Dig the hole so it's as round and deep as the container. After you dig the hole, remove the fig tree from the container and set the roots into the hole. Then, fill the hole in with soil. Pack the soil down with your hands. Figs are hardy trees that can grow in most kinds of soil, as long as the soil has good drainage. Look for soil that contains sand, and avoid soil with a lot of clay in it. The compost will help the soil around your fig tree retain water. Do this whether your fig tree is planted in the ground or planted in a container. Repot your fig tree during the winter. To repot your tree, remove about one-quarter of the soil in the pot. Then, pull your fig tree up out of the pot and cut away the large roots on the outside of the clump of roots. Place your fig tree back in the same pot and fill it in with soil. Pack the soil down with your hands.

Plant your fig tree in a hole the size of the container it came in. Plant your fig tree in well-draining soil. Mulch the soil around your fig tree with 3 inches (7.6 cm) of compost. Repot your fig tree every 3-5 years if it's planted in a container.

Research each agency that you are interested in to ensure that they have signed successful petite models. Many agencies let aspiring models know who they have signed in the past, though you can also search for the agency name online to find out more. Focusing on agencies that are interested in petite models will heighten your chances of finding work. Open calls are times when new models can visit a modeling agency to find out if anyone is interested in representing them. This is a good way to find potential representation if you do not yet have an agent. You can look for local calls, or choose to travel to attend an open call. Though it depends on the agency’s requirements, typically you will need to bring a headshot, comp card, and a swim suit.  Open calls usually attract a lot of other aspiring models. Don’t be disappointed if nothing comes from your first few open calls. Make sure to dress nicely, be on time, be able to accept criticism, and have a working phone number if the agency decides to call you back. Find out if there is something you can change to get accepted in the future. Some agencies may not want to answer questions, so do not push your questions if the agency is not willing to comply. Send an email or thank you letter to the agent. Even if you are rejected, it is a good idea to send an email thanking the agent for taking his or her time to meet with you. The note or email should be short and thank them for their time. You never know when you will encounter this person in the future, so it is good to leave the person with a pleasant memory of you. Sign with the agent that seems most interested in you and offers the most opportunities. Make sure the agency can further your career before you commit to it. This may mean looking up reviews for the agency on the internet, asking others in the industry, and seeing if they have any successful clients. Be sure to review the contract carefully before signing it. Don’t make a commitment that you can’t stick with. Go-sees are meetings with professionals...

Place the citation directly after the information you wish to cite, inside any punctuation. Put a space between the author's name and the date, but don't use a comma.  For example: (Schmidt 1935). If you don't know the name of the author, use the name of the organization that published the text or a shortened version of the title in place of the author's name. For example: (Society for Psychical Research 1935) or (“Mystery of a Talking Wombat” 1935).  Don't include the author's name in parentheses if you've already mentioned it in the sentence with the citation. Instead, simply give the date (and page numbers, if applicable). For example: “John Schmidt (1935, 217-218) claimed that a talking wombat inhabited the walls of his Illinois farmhouse for over a decade.” If the work you're citing has 2 to 3 authors, place all their last names in parentheses before the date of publication. Put commas between the authors' names, but not between the final author's name and the date. List the authors in the order in which they're given in the publication. For example: (Schmidt, Bjorn, and Prince 1941). ” when citing 4 or more authors. If the publication you're citing has 4 or more authors, include only the surname of the first author listed, followed by et al. and the date. Don't use any commas. For example: (Schmidt et al. 1937). It can get confusing if you're citing several authors who share surnames. Keep the distinction clear by placing the first initial of each author before their name in the citation. For example: (J. Schmidt 1935), (V. Schmidt 1972). If you're citing more than 1 text by the same author published in the same year, you will need to make a clear distinction between each publication. Do this by assigning lowercase letters to each publication and placing them after the date in your citations.  For example: (Schmidt 1935a), (Schmidt 1935b). Before assigning letters, alphabetize these sources by title (which is also how they will be listed in your bibliography). Assign the letters in order so that the...

Discuss and agree on an amount of time per day or week that you won’t go over when playing the game, or any video game, if your parents are concerned about how the content affects you based on how much you play. Let them know that if you get the game, you’ll stick to this time limit. Show them that you can play games in moderation. Promise all A’s or B’s on your next report card, or a similar goal for your grades, if they will get you the game. Agree on certain chores you will do every week or month in exchange for being able to get the game. You can say, “I’ll take out the trash and load the dishwasher every day, and vacuum every week, if I can have the game,” or something similar that you and your parents can agree on. Tell them you will not play on school nights, you will not play until you finish ALL your homework, and you will keep your grades up. Rent the game from a library, video store, Redbox, or invite a friend over who has the game. Tell your parents they can watch you play the game for a certain amount of time. If they are okay with what they see, they let you buy it; if they’re not okay with it, you will agree on a time when you can rent it and ask them again. You can also show them screenshots of the game online; they might be convinced by them alone. Discuss and agree with your parents on a location of the house that you will always play the game if they let you get it. Letting them keep an eye on you in exchange for getting the game can be worth it, because they will likely stop paying attention after a time and let you play in peace. Let your parents know they can use whatever parental controls are available on the device you play on, as long as you can have the game. They may be able to restrict access to the internet, the ability to make purchases, or even control how long you play and what friends you play with. Consider that it could be worth it to sacrifice a small amount of your freedom in order to get the game you want. You might also impress your parents by being upfront about these...

Keep in mind that there is a difference between a bad relationship and a bad boss. Make sure you're acting right. Don't lose your sense of humor. Be professional at all times. Don't fight fire with fire. Focus on the problem instead of your boss.

If you haven’t already, discuss your insomnia with a doctor to make sure there is no treatable medical reason for your poor sleep. There is a long list of conditions that can cause symptoms that mimic insomnia, from anxiety and depression, to hyperthyroidism, Lyme disease, and heart conditions.  Your insomnia could be caused by obstructive sleep apnea, a common condition in people who snore. This condition occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat are relaxing so much that your airway narrows for 10-20 seconds, preventing you briefly from getting air. Your brain will wake you so you can get more air, over and over again throughout the night causing disrupted sleep.  Go over your medications with your doctor, as some may interfere with your sleep. This includes mentioning anything herbal, alternative, or over the counter that you might be taking.  Be sure to tell your doctor if you have any pain that is preventing you from sleeping. Your doctor may recommend cognitive behavioural therapy, completing sleep journals, or relaxation training to sort out your sleep. Though you may be tempted to take a quick nap during the day, and many people can do so effectively, napping may be counterproductive for the insomnia sufferer.  If you must nap, maximize it at 30 minutes and don’t nap after 3 pm. Stick to as regular a sleep schedule as possible, waking and going to bed at the same time each day, even on weekends. Sleep experts agree that your bed should be used only for sleep and sexual intimacy so keep the computers and TV out of your bedroom.  Have black-out curtains to keep your room dark at night. Keep your bedroom cool. Being too warm prevents you from falling soundly asleep. Studies have shown that wearing a cooling cap at night reduces time to fall asleep and increases length of sleep.  Use a white noise machine or fan to drown out inconsistent environmental noises and create a comforting atmosphere. Both supplements are touted as facilitating sleep. Just be sure to not take them too early before bed...

TL;DR in English: See a doctor. Avoid or limit naps. Make your bedroom sleep friendly. Try melatonin or valerian root at night. Learn to cope with the stress that causes insomnia. Go for acupuncture.

A bad boss is one who is intentionally mean or unethical and is not receptive to dealing with you in an honest and open way. A bad relationship is an inability to communicate or work together to achieve mutually-beneficial goals. When you approach your situation with your boss, you should focus on the relationship instead of the person. This will help you keep your cool and to find a productive way to address the situation. Before you go and blame your boss for all of the problems in your relationship, you should ask yourself whether or not there are aspects of your own performance that can be improved. You may feel like you're acting perfectly, but you should make sure that you're actually meeting the goals you were supposed to meet, pulling your weight with projects, and communicating effectively. Ask yourself if there's anything you can do to improve your own behavior, and if that could be leading to some of the problems you're having with your boss. Of course, maybe your boss really is completely unreasonable and there's nothing you can do to improve how he or she treats you. But it's better to have your bases covered, just in case. A healthy dose of humor can help you approach your relationship with your boss and to not take the whole thing too seriously. Though there may not be anything funny about workplace conflict, you have to take a step back and remind yourself that, at the end of the day, your work is not your whole life and that you have plenty of meaningful relationships and outside interests apart from the workplace that give your life meaning. The next time your boss frustrates or just plain annoys you, learn to laugh about it, brush it off, and not to take it so darn seriously all the time. Of course, if your boss is downright offensive, discriminatory, or acting ridiculously out of line, then there's nothing funny about it. But learning to laugh off some of the run-of-the-mill everyday annoyances can help you improve your attitude about your relationship. Though you may be tempted to slander...

Make sure that the stitches you make match the boxes on your pattern. It may be helpful to cross off rows as you complete them, in order to not lose track of where you are. You can just tie off the yarn at the end of your last row but there are a variety of stitches you could use to end your piece but a simple blanket stitch will do just fine. If you just want to tie off your project, cut your yarn off a few inches after your last stitch while your hook is still in the last loops. Pull the end through the loops and tie it into a knot. Then weave the end of the yarn into the last line of stitches with a yarn needle, hiding the end of the yarn from view. Stitch together any separate pieces, if your project has multiple parts and trim any stray ends of yarn. Remember that your tapestry crochet project may need special care if laundered, as each yarn requires specific handling.

TL;DR in English: Crochet the rest of your pattern, switching between colors as your pattern dictates. Fasten off the edge of your project with a simple or decorative border. Enjoy your finished product!

Grab your favorite board game or a deck of cards, some candles or flashlights, and play against your friends or family. You could also try charades, 20 Questions, I Spy, or invent your own game. Raid your closet, or ask your parents and friends for permission to look in theirs, and use flashlights as spotlights. Throw on some fancy clothes and shoes, and don’t forget to accessorize! You could even practice a new makeup technique, like contouring. Dress up however you want--after all, you won’t be going outside anytime soon! It could be as simple as laying out some sheets of paper and a box of crayons or markers, painting with watercolors, or making a collage. Use your free time to tap into your creativity, or keep kids entertained with drawing or coloring books. If you’re cooped up indoors, then your dog or cat probably is too! Pull out a couple feathers or a piece of string to play with your kitty, or have a small-scale game of fetch with your dog. When they’re all tired out, let them cuddle up with you and relax. If you’re stranded with no friends and no power, curl up with a flashlights, some candles, and a good book. Choose a new bestseller or a classic you haven’t gotten around to, or re-read one of your old favorites. If bored kids are around, gather them for some story time.

If you and your loved ones are trapped inside together, make the most of it! Catch up on their lives and tell them what’s been going on in yours. Put away phones and laptops and use this time to reconnect with each other. Tell ghost stories to make little kids shriek, or stick to funny tales for a more lighthearted mood.

Drink enough fluids to replace any you through a fever or producing mucus.  Keeping yourself hydrated can help you feel better and minimize the risk of getting more sick. Women need at least nine cups of liquid daily to keep their bodies hydrated, while men need at least 13.  Have water, juice, broth, or non-caffeinated sodas or teas. Stay away from caffeinated drinks including coffee and tea because they can dehydrate you and exacerbate symptoms. Studies now show that the longtime home remedy of chicken soup can help keep a cold at bay and relieve symptoms. Sipping chicken soup may help you nip a cold in the bud or help minimize your symptoms of a cold and flu. Even the steam from the hot soup can help alleviate symptoms.   Eat chicken soup to help relieve the congestion that accompanies cold and the flu. Chicken soup can prevent dehydration.  Be aware that chicken soup acts as an anti-inflammatory to your system. It also temporarily increases movement of mucus through the nose, which in turn limits the amount of time the virus is in the lining of your nose. Alcohol and tobacco products may make a cold or the flu worse. Eliminating or limiting these products may reduce the duration of your symptoms and help prevent complications. Gargling with a simple saline solution may help a sore throat. Although the benefits are temporary, you can use this remedy as often as you need it to combat inflammation.  Dissolve 1/2 a teaspoon of salt in an 8 oz. glass of warm water to make the saline solution. Swish a mouthful of saltwater for 30 seconds at least twice a day. This can also help relieve any inflammation in your throat related to the cold or flu. Mild analgesics can relieve a sore throat. Products such as lozenges and sprays containing eucalyptus or camphor can also relieve any cold- or flu-related congestion.  Use throat lozenges or apply sprays every two to three hours. Avoid chewing or swallowing throat lozenges because they can numb your throat and cause swallowing difficulties. You may have body aches with a...

There are three main types of at-home kits for artificial nails:  gel, acrylic, and press-on.  Each has its own advantages and disadvantages to take into consideration when trying to achieve natural-looking, artificial nails.  Gel: Gel manicures most closely resemble your natural nail, and are less damaging to the nail plate. Gel manicures last at least two weeks, depending on maintenance.  They are applied like normal nail polish. Gel manicures require an ultraviolet (UV) light for drying and setting.   Gel nail kits are generally more expensive than the other options, especially if the kit includes a UV light.  Price range: $30-$120.  Acrylic: Acrylic manicures last about two weeks. They look more natural than press-on nails, less natural than gel nails. Prolonged use of acrylic nails can cause damage to your natural nail. Price range: $8-$20.  Press-Ons: Press-on nails are the easiest to apply at home, but only last about one week. They are also the least-natural looking of these options.  Press-on manicures cause minimal damage to your natural nail, and are easier to remove. They are also easy to repair; if a press-on nail falls off, you can easily glue it back into place.  If well-maintained, press-on nails can be reused.  Price range: $5-$10. Proper preparation of your natural nails is crucial; it helps artificial nails to adhere better and look more realistic.  Wash your hands with antibacterial soap to remove any dirt, oils, or lotion. Clean nails with nail polish remover. Acetone-based remover is more effective for acrylic nails, but it is harsher on your naturals nails.   Cut and file your nails. Apply cuticle oil or cream to your cuticles before pushing them back with a cuticle pusher. Buff your nails. Re-clean your hands and nails to remove any dust caused by filing and buffing. Dehydrate your nails using acetone-based remover or a nail dehydrating solution.  This helps nail polish and artificial nails to stay on longer.  Apply a nail base coat over your natural nails to protect them. Each at-home...

The microfiber cloth that may have come with your glasses is ideal for cleaning your lenses, but even this can become dirty over time. Using a cloth that has dust on it will cause your lenses to develop small pits and scratches over time, creating cloudiness. To avoid this, only clean your glasses with a clean, soft cloth. The more dust and grime that is on your lens cleaning cloth, the more damage you will do to your lenses over time. Every time you dry, wipe, or polish your lenses, you will be scraping these particles against your glasses. To keep your lens cloth cleanest, you may want to hold it in a glasses case that you carry with you throughout the day. You might also put this cloth in a plastic baggie or other container and tuck it away in a backpack or satchel. Depending on the cloth your are using, cleaning procedure can vary. A soft cotton piece of fabric can be washed normally, but you should follow the directions that came with your cloth. For cleaning a microfiber cloth, you should:  Separate it with like-fabric items. Add a small amount of liquid detergent to your washing machine. Do not use fabric softener — this remains on the cloth and can leave streaks when using it on lenses. Set your washing machine to cold. Insert your microfiber cloth and like-cloth items into the wash. Air dry or use a dryer on a low/no-heat setting. Over the course of a day your glasses will normally collect dust, dirt, and oil from your face and hands. By cleaning your lenses regularly with glass cleaner or warm water and a drop of dish soap, you can cut down on the overall daily cloudiness you may experience. This will keep dust from settling on the glasses and protect them from harm if they are knocked over. Instead of placing your glasses on your bedside table at night, for instance, place them in their case and then put that on your bedside table. This will also protect your glasses from getting broken or damaged if you knock them over when not in use.

TL;DR in English: Use a clean, soft cloth always. Protect your lens cloth from the elements. Wash your lens cleaning cloth. Clean your lenses regularly. Keep your glasses in a case when you're not wearing them.

This will depend on whether your TV is a standard-definition or high-definition TV. Video input ports are typically located on the back of the TV, but may also be located on one of the sides.  Standard-definition TVs usually have composite video or S-video ports. The display will not be as sharp as through your PC's regular monitor, however.     High-definition TVs may have VGA, DVI or HDMI ports. VGA connections provide an analog signal, while DVI and HDMI connections provide a digital signal of higher quality.    If you have multiple options (e.g. VGA, S-video and HDMI), try to connect using the highest quality connection. HDMI is the standard for newer laptops and HDTVs, and will result in the best quality and least amount of work adjusting settings.  If your laptop's output port is the same kind as your TV's input port, get a cable with the same kind of connector on each end.     If your laptop's output port and your TV's input port are different, you'll need an adapter cable. Adapters are available to convert DVI to HDMI or VGA to composite video. You can also get an adapter cable to connect your computer's USB port to your TV's HDMI port if your laptop has no HDMI port. Converters, especially analog ones, typically result in a loss of quality, so avoid them if possible.     Branded HDMI cables are often marked up to be very expensive, but virtually any HDMI cable is more than capable of sending the signals to the TV with no loss of quality. Some computers and high-definition TVs can connect to the TV's audio and video with a single cable, while most require separate audio and video cables.  If you connect your laptop to your TV via HDMI, you will not need a separate audio cable as HDMI carries audio signal as well as video signal. All other connection types will require a separate audio cable.     Your laptop's audio output is a 3.5-mm jack marked with a headset icon. You can connect an audio cable from here to your TV's audio input if it has one or to external speakers if it doesn't.     When...

No matter how you spin it, you are going to look like the bad guy if you break up with someone on Valentine's Day. Think about why, of all days, you want to break up on Valentine's Day, knowing that this will likely cause the breakup to be extra painful and may even ruin the holiday for your significant other in the future. Is this the precise reason why you want to break up on Valentine's Day — because it will cause your partner the most pain? Or have you realized, through your preparations for the holiday, that you don't really feel the way you would want to feel about your partner on such a romantic day? Before moving forward, really think about why you want to break up on Valentine's Day and what the consequences might be.   Try to look through any anger or disappointment and think deeply about your motives. Maybe breaking up with your partner on Valentine's will be very hurtful — but is this a move you will regret after some time has passed? Is this action really authentic to your character? Though it's best not to linger in a relationship when you know things aren't going to work out, you may want to break with the person a week or two after the holiday. Or, even better, break up with her before Valentine's Day, so he/she can return presents or cancel any plans he/she may have made for the two of you. If you decide to go ahead with your plan, just know that you are not going to come off looking great by breaking up with someone on Valentine's Day, so be prepared for some backlash. Sometimes relationships just fizzle out. Other times one person cheats or is dishonest. In some cases, people simply aren’t compatible. Considering your reasons for breaking up can help you determine what to say. Some people initiate a Valentine's Day breakup because things didn't turn out perfectly from the moment the day started. Don’t end a good relationship because of one day. Although it may seem like you have a list of reasons, try to look for a common theme between them. For example, if your significant other is...

. One of the easiest things to learn is how to greet others, and it can be a good introduction to the language as well as giving you an essential tool that will open the door to communication with others in Spanish.   Hola (OH-la) means "hello" in Spanish. Even if you know very little Spanish, it's likely you already know and understand this word. There are other initial greetings in Spanish, such as buenos días (booEHN-os DEE-as), which means "good morning," or buenos noches (booEHN-os NO-chehs), which means "good evening." Following the hello, you might next learn "¿Cómo estás?" (KOH-moh  ess-TAHS), which means "How are you?" This might be answered by saying estoy bien (ESS-toy bee-EHN), which means "I'm fine." You also might say mucho gusto (MOO-choh GOOS-toh), which means "nice to meet you." Then learn how to say "my name is": me llamo (meh YAH-moh). Put them together, and you might greet someone in Spanish by saying "Mucho gusto, me llamo Juan," which means "Nice to meet you, my name is John." Find borrowed Spanish words in English. Although you probably don't pronounce them exactly the way a Spanish-speaking person would, there are a number of Spanish words that you probably already know if you are fluent in English.     Making a list of Spanish words that you already know can be a good way to build your Spanish vocabulary, because it gives you a foundation on which to build. For example, there probably are a number of Spanish foods that you already know, such as taco and burrito. There also are a number of words that are the same in Spanish and in English (although they may be spelled or pronounced differently), such as animal and chocolate. One of the things that makes Spanish very different from English is the fact that all objects are gendered. Generally, if a noun ends in an o it is masculine, while if it ends in a it is feminine (although there are some exceptions).  In Spanish, unlike in English, there is no pronoun "it." All nouns have a gender, and even inanimate objects are referred to the...

Before reducing risk, you must understand how much risk you can expect from each type of investment. Consider the purpose of your investments, and the amount of risk you can afford to carry on each one.  Stocks are some of the riskiest investments, but can also provide the highest return. Stocks carry no guarantee of repayment, and changing investor confidence can create market volatility, driving stock values down. Bonds are less risky than stocks. Because they are debt instruments, repayment is guaranteed. The risk level of a bond is therefore dependent on the credit worthiness of the issuer; a company with shakier credit is more likely to default on a bond repayment. You must also take into account the interest rate risk, which affects bonds more than it affects stocks. A rising interest rate means a falling bond price.  Cash-equivalent investments, such as money market accounts, savings accounts, or government bonds are the least risky. These investments are also highly liquid, but they provide low returns. When deciding on an overall level of risk, you need to assess how you want to use the money from your investments in the future.  If you are planning a big expenditure in the near future (such as a house or tuition), or you are retiring soon, you should aim for a relatively low-risk portfolio. This will help ensure that market volatility doesn't cause your investments to lose a lot of value just before you need to draw money from them. If you are investing for a long-term goal, more risk is appropriate. Long-term goals allow you to wait out stock price fluctuations and realize high returns over the long run. A great way to mitigate the inherent risk of investing is to hedge your investment. The idea is to protect or balance out the risk of one vulnerable asset by investing in something that, should the vulnerable asset suffer a loss, the other asset will experience a gain. It may not entirely offset the loss you experience, but it can reduce it. Hedging is not free, and the idea is not to make money...

TL;DR in English: Determine the level of risk associated with your varied investments. Determine the level of risk you are willing to shoulder. Understand hedging. Lower each asset type's risk through diversification.

Doing a quick online search or browsing your local newspaper should give you enough information about whether such groups exist. You can look for the following:  Middle and/or high school choirs Collegiate choirs Church choirs A Capella groups Barbershop quartets Community choirs Service-based choirs If you want to join the group, you will need to find out what you will need to do so. You will likely have to audition, and you might have to pay membership fees or meet certain eligibility requirements. For example, for middle school, high school, and collegiate choirs, the participants in those need to be students at those schools. Another example would be that in order to join a church choir, you have to be a member of that church's congregation. Some choirs only ask candidates to do a voice placement in order to join so that the teacher or conductor knows in which voice part you belong. Others will have you do an audition, for which you will need to prepare.  You may be asked to prepare your own song, in which you should practice a song you like or come up with your own original song. Or, you might be provided with the song, and you will then have to learn it for your voice part. Voice parts include, generally speaking, soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass. Women usually sing soprano, mezzo-soprano, and alto, while men usually sing tenor, baritone, and bass. However, there is flexibility if a singer has a large range. Arrive to your audition early, and make sure you are prepared. Be sure to warm up beforehand so that your vocal chords are ready.

Conditional statements are what drive most programs. They are statements that are determined to be either TRUE or FALSE, and then acted upon based on the result. The most basic of the statements is the if statement.       TRUE and FALSE work differently in C than what you might be used to. TRUE statements always end up equaling a nonzero number. When you perform comparisons, if the result is TRUE then a "1" is returned. If the result is FALSE, then a "0" is returned. Understanding this will help you see how IF statements are processed. Conditional statements revolve around the use of mathematical operators that compare values. The following list contains the most commonly used conditional operators.   >   /* greater than */ <   /* less than */ >=  /* greater than or equal to */ <=  /* less than or equal to */ ==  /* equal to */ !=  /* not equal to */     10 > 5 TRUE 6 < 15 TRUE 8 >= 8 TRUE 4 <= 8 TRUE 3 == 3 TRUE 4 != 5 TRUE You can use IF statements to determine what the program should do next after the statement is evaluated. You can combine it with other conditional statements later to create powerful multiple options, but for now write a simple one to get used to them.   #include <stdio.h>  int main() {   if ( 3 < 5 )     printf( "3 is less than 5");     getchar(); } You can build upon IF statements by using ELSE and ELSE IF statements to handle different results. ELSE statements run if the IF statement is FALSE. ELSE IF statements allow you to include multiple IF statements into one code block to handle various cases. See the example program below to see how they interact.   #include <stdio.h>  int main() {   int age;    printf( "Please enter your current age: " );   scanf( "%d", &age );   if ( age <= 12 ) {     printf( "You're just a kid!\n" );   }   else if ( age < 20 ) {     printf( "Being a teenager is pretty great!\n" );   }   else if ( age < 40 ) {     printf( "You're still young at heart!\n" );   }   else {     printf( "With age comes wisdom.\n" );   }   return 0; }    The program takes the input...

Wake up with braids for a beach look. Wash your hair, and let it partially dry. Part your hair down the middle into two sections. Twist all of your hair. Clip each twisted section. Sleep with the clips in. Brush your hair.

If you take your clothes out of the washer and see that there is lint on them, put them back in and wash them again. Do not use detergent for this second wash. After the cycle is done, take the clothes out, and shake them out to loosen any leftover lint. Dry the clothes in the dryer as you normally would.

Hair waves may look like a lot of work, but there is a trick to getting them with almost no work at all. Here are the materials you will need:  Mousse Brush Comb Several hair clips Once your hair is about 80% dry, add in a bit of hair mousse or another volume stabilizing product of your choice.  Carefully spray about a quarter size of mousse into one of your palms. Mousse expands quite a bit once it is out of the can, so try not to spray too much. Rub the mousse between your palms, and then spread both hands through your hair. Start at the root, and bring your fingers down through your hair to the ends. Be sure to evenly cover all of you hair. Take each section, and begin twisting at the roots all the way down to the ends. You want to make the twists tight, but not so tight that it hurts your head. Make sure that you twist the hair on the inside of the twists. You can do this by coming your fingers through your hair as you twist. Simply twist the section of hair around, pulling your fingers through as you do, and then remove your twisting hand, and hold the hair section with the opposite hand in place. Then, repeat the twisting process until you have twisted all the way to the ends of your hair. You will twist each section separately, but in the same direction. So both sides either need to be twisted away from your face or towards your face. After you are done twisting, clip each section securely in place at the crown of your head. You can use bobby pins to help keep each section in place. The trick to this style is letting your hair dry overnight in the twists so that in the morning, you can remove the clips, and reveal the waves. After you have removed the clips, gently brush your hair, or use your fingers to comb through the waves in your hair. Add hairspray if you desire. The waves should last all day, but it depends on your hair type, climate, and styling products used.

Choose a time in the morning and evening when you’re home to feed your dog. Make sure to keep the time consistent so your dog knows when to expect their meal. Keeping your dog on a feeding schedule will help it develop a healthy metabolism and prevent it from begging for food at other times. For example, feed your dog in the morning before you leave for work and again when you come home. Pick a quiet and comfortable area to keep your dog’s food bowl. Stand in the area with their bowl and ask your dog if it is hungry to train it to come to the spot at meal time. Avoid doing any other activities with your dog in their meal area. That way, it’ll learn to go there only when it’s time to eat. When you’re ready to feed your dog, set its food bowl on the ground so it can eat. Regardless of if it eats or not, pick up the bowl and put it away after 5 to 10 minutes. This helps train your dog so it will eat whenever the bowl is on the floor. If you leave food on the ground, your dog may leave some to nibble on throughout the day so it won't have a consistent routine. Use the same kind and amount of food whenever you feed your dog so it can develop a healthy metabolism. Significant changes to your dog’s diet could stress it out. For example, don’t give your dog 2 scoops of food after a long day away if you normally give it 1 scoop on other days. Even though dog food should be kept on a set routine, dogs prefer to have access to water whenever they’re thirsty. Keep a bowl out and available throughout the day so your dog can drink when it needs to.  Change the water in your dog’s bowl every day. Clean the bowl every other day so bacteria can’t grow.

TL;DR in English: Feed your dog at consistent times each day. Choose a place in your home where you’ll give your dog meals. Set its food down for 5 to 10 minutes before picking it up again. Give your dog the same amount of food during each feeding. Keep a bowl of water available for your dog at all times.

Genealogy societies consist of people that have an interest in researching and learning about their family background. Locate one in your area and become a member. A genealogy society is a great place to learn more about your family history and share it with others. If you don’t know people outside of your family that share your heritage, try reaching out to individuals at school or work with the same cultural background. Look for clubs, associations, or groups in your area that celebrate your culture. You can also reach out to people in your community by asking if they’d like to share some of their family history. Social media, if used correctly, is a great tool to share things that matter with you and connect with the world. It is also a good tool for celebrating your family heritage. Reach out to family members on social media that you may not talk to often. Upload photos of your family on social media accounts with your contacts and family members. You can also create photo albums on social media about your family heritage. If the family members that you are sharing photos of are alive, make sure you have their permission before posting photos of them.

TL;DR in English:


Hit the ball with a long stroke for a long backspin serve. Add sidespin to a backhand serve for a tough return. Use a high toss to get more spin. Do a forehand pendulum serve by striking from left to right. Do a reverse pendulum serve by striking from right to left. Strike

Select a building material. Build the foundation. Think about how tall you want each room to be. Place a column in each corner of your foundation. Add floors between stories. Fill in the roof at the top of the hotel.

Backspin serves are best when your opponent is standing back from the table. They can add variety to a match that has contained lots of long, topspin serves. If your opponent doesn’t know which way you’re going to spin the ball, they’ll need to stand in the middle of their side. This will make it tough for them to return any sidespin serves. The longer the ball is in the air, the faster it’ll be coming down. This fast speed will allow you to put more spin onto the ball after you strike it. If you have more spin, your opponent may have a tougher time returning the ball. This serve puts a little sidespin on the ball. This will make the ball difficult to return with a backhand, as it’ll break away from your opponent and may not make it back over the net. Your racket should be in the closed position for this serve. This serve also puts sidespin onto the ball, this time from the opposite direction. Most players are more used to the standard forehand pendulum, so this serve may catch them off guard. Using an open racket, hit the ball from right to left. This serve will also add sidespin and make it difficult for your opponent to control their return. The best way to have a great serve game is to be prepared with lots of options. You’ll probably develop a specialty that becomes your favorite go-to serve. Be sure you also practice long and short serves, all the different spins, and different table placements.    Run drills with a partner to get the feel for serving as you would in a match. You can use each other to practice all the different racket positions, striking motions, and spins. You can also practice serving against the wall if you’re alone.

TL;DR in English: Hit the ball with a short stroke for a short backspin serve. Add sidespin to a backhand serve for a tough return. Use a high toss to get more spin. Do a forehand pendulum serve by striking from left to right. Do a reverse pendulum serve by striking from right to left. Strike right to left with racket tip up for a tomahawk serve. Practice varied lengths, spins, and placements.

Do so by tapping it in your hotbar. This is a relatively simple, if tedious, task: to do so, fill in the entire foundation area with your hotel's floor's building material.  For example, if your cleared area is the aforementioned twenty-by-twenty space, you'll place 400 blocks of your selected building material here. It's best to first fill in the perimeter so that you don't accidentally stray outside of the boundaries of your hotel's foundation. The ideal number of blocks between the floor and the ceiling is at least four. Each column should be as tall as you're hoping to make the hotel. To calculate this number:  Take the height in blocks you want each room to be, plus one block for the ceiling/floor of the subsequent room. Multiply the height in blocks by the number of stories you want. Discount the layer of blocks that comprises your hotel's foundation. The easiest way to do this is by creating horizontal beams that connect all of your hotel's columns, then filling in the horizontal space for each beam. You're essentially re-creating the foundation on each story. Be sure to leave several spaces for your hotel's stairs to connect each floor. While optional, doing this will complete the building's skeleton. Make sure you leave the walls facing out of the hotel open, since you won't have enough light with which to work if you don't.

When cleaning an acrylic bath tub, avoid using any aerosol or acetone cleaners. The chemicals in those cleaners can eat through the acrylic of your tub. To clean acrylic bathtubs, use a mild dish soap with warm water. Wet the sides of the tub and a soft sponge with warm water. Apply a small amount of a mild dish soap to the sponge and gently scrub the tub. You should avoid using wire brushes or scrubbing pads as these can scratch the acrylic and ruin it. Instead of using cleanser on hard water stains on your bathtub, try rubbing lemons over the stains. Let the lemon juice sit on the stain for a few minutes, and then rinse with water and before drying it with a microfiber cloth.

TL;DR in English: Don’t use aerosol cleaners on acrylic bath tubs. Use mild dish soap on acrylic tubs. Use lemons to remove hard water stains.

Keep them separate – you'll be cooking them separately later. The beauty about chow mein is that you can really use whatever vegetables you like. Cabbage and carrot are awfully common, too. Just dice it up and it'll be ready for stir-frying. Heat the oil, then stir in the marinated chicken strips. Remove the chicken from the pan when the chicken is no longer pink. Set the chicken aside – you'll be tossing it back in after the vegetables are done. Fry the wonton noodles in the hot oil, one small batch at a time. Remove the noodles when they turn golden. You may not need that much more oil after the chicken, or you may need plenty. Just make sure there's enough oil in the pan for it to adequately stir-fry whatever's inside. Remove each vegetable before adding the next vegetable. Add more oil as needed. Stir fry all of the vegetables, except for the scallion. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/4 cup of water and place a lid on the wok when you stir fry the broccoli or bok choy. Because of this, it's easiest to do last. Stir well, then make a well in the center for the sauce. Stir the sauce, then pour the sauce into the well. Stir again. Add the scallion, stir, and then pour the chow mein over the wonton noodles. Mix it up as you like. Place it all into a big bowl with tongs or a large fork and spoon and let your guests serve themselves. Provide extra soy sauce on the side, too, if needed. Make sure you have both chopsticks and a fork at the ready – some people aren't proficient at chopsticks and prefer using a fork (and some are the other way around).

It is a good idea to cover the bowl if you are worried about bugs or anything getting into the bowl throughout the night. Pour the soaked bowl of seeds, including the water, into a strainer. You can then put the seeds into a storage container or bowl if you soaked more than 1 serving (about 1 cup (240 ml). Place the leftover seeds in the refrigerator. They will last for up to 5 days. If you’re eating the seeds to aid weight loss, it is best to eat on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Simply eat the seeds raw directly out of the bowl.

Most sneakers can be cleaned in the washing machine, but it’s always a good idea to double-check beforehand. If the label says “hand wash only,” you may want to consider cleaning the shoes by hand. If your shoes don’t have a label, search the brand online to get cleaning recommendations. If your shoes have any leather or suede, it is not a good idea to machine wash them, as the water can damage those parts of the shoes. Preferably, do this over a trash can or outside to keep the dirt from getting all over your floor. If the dirt is wet, let it dry completely first. Dry dirt brushes away more easily than wet dirt does. Removing as much dirt as possible before washing the shoes will help them get cleaner in the washing machine. Check them out to see if there are any areas that are particularly dirty. If so, take a little bit of laundry detergent and use your fingers to rub it into the shoelaces. This pretreating will help the dirt come out more easily. Put the laces into their own small mesh bag to keep them from wrapping around other items when they’re in the wash. If you don’t have mesh laundry bags, you can buy them online or at department stores for about $10. Put the bag with your shoes in it, the one with the laces, and a load of towels into the washing machine. Washing the shoes along with towels keeps the shoes from banging around in the washing machine, which could potentially damage your shoes or the machine itself. Use the same amount of detergent you normally would, and avoid using hot water. Choose the gentle cycle if you have the option. Don’t overdo it on the detergent. Excess detergent can cause soap residue to build up on your shoes, making them stiff and possibly even staining them. You can put them in front of a dehumidifier, a fan, or an open window, but avoid putting them in front of any type of heat source or into the dryer. If the shoes have insoles, take them out and let them dry separately to speed up the process.  You might be tempted to toss your sneakers into the dryer so you can...

Dress appropriately. Equip other useful gear. Take only what you can realistically use. Stay vigilant. Don’t leave behind a mess.

If you feel that your physique is small, there is a chance that you are actually underweight. The health dangers of being overweight are well-known, but there are also significant problems attached to being underweight. Evaluate whether you are underweight and consider steps to develop a healthier physique. This isn’t about becoming a bodybuilder, but is about being healthy and happy.  Use a BMI healthy weight calculator to assess your weight and size, like the one here. If you are underweight you may not be getting enough calories, which can leave you tired and lethargic. Being underweight can mean your body lacks the nutrients to develop fully. Your immune system will also suffer, making you more susceptible to illness. If you are underweight you should aim to gradually gain weight until you reach the recommended level for your age and height. This doesn’t mean eating a lot of fatty and sugar-filled foods to pile on the pounds. Doing this will increase your body fat, rather than your lean body mass. You should instead try to eat three meals a day, and three snacks a day, which are based on the principles of a healthy balanced diet.  High-energy foods are particularly effective if you are trying to gain weight. Try oatmeal with whole milk for breakfast, with smoothies for snacks. For lunch, a baked potato with tuna gives you lots of energy. Peanut butter on wheat toast is a great high-energy snack to have between meals if you want to put on some weight. Achieving a healthy weight and physique does not mean building enormous muscles. Having a toned, athletic, and flexible body will help you stay healthy. Try to couple strength exercises, such as push up, squats, and crunches, with exercises that improve your flexibility, such as yoga or pilates.  Remember: you should not try to emulate an idealised or unattainable physique. Think about how physically fit you feel, rather than what you look like. Exercising regularly will help keep your body healthy. Try to do some muscle-strengthening exercises twice a week.

TL;DR in English: Determine if you are underweight. Reach a healthy weight. Increase your strength and flexibility.

There’s a good chance that whatever you wear is going to get dirty or torn, so wear older garments that you don’t mind ruining. Comfortable clothing will allow you to move around freely, which can be helpful should you have to do any climbing or other maneuvering. It’s also a good idea to pull on a pair of thick-soled, closed-toed shoes or boots to protect your feet from sharp exposed edges.  Wear pants and tops with long sleeves to minimize your exposure to unsanitary messes.  If you’re going to actually enter the dumpster, wear sturdy fabrics like denim, nylon or leather and keep as much of your body covered as possible. Remove any accessories you don’t want to lose before you get inside. Feel free to bring along anything else that you think might come in handy, like a pair of thick gloves or a small stepping stool or milk crate to help you get up into the dumpster. Night dives should be accompanied by a flashlight or headlamp to make it easier to see. Don’t forget to also bring some kind of spacious container to stash your discoveries in.  A durable canvas laundry bag can make a great way to transport your finds back home. Use a long pole to poke around in the trash until something catches your attention. If you’re careful enough, there may be no need to get inside the receptacle at all. Flashlights may also be necessary during the daytime if the dumpster is especially deep or situated in the shade. While you may be tempted to bring back anything and everything of potential value from your dive, it’s best to limit your haul to the things you have a specific need for. Otherwise, useless items will just accumulate and eventually find their way into the trash again.  Organize your finds into a few separate piles: things you can use, things other people might be able to use and things you can sell.  If you don’t find anything worth keeping, cut your losses and move on to the next spot. As mentioned, dumpster diving is looked upon with notoriety. If you’re not paying attention, you may end up being surprised by...

If your friend has been saying or doing concerning things, let them know that you’ve noticed and that you’re worried about them. Avoid getting upset or emotional when you do this as it may cause them to feel worse. Just tell your friend what you are concerned about in a straightforward manner.  For example, you might say something like, “John, I’ve noticed that you stopped coming to game nights and that you are spending most of your time alone. I’m worried about you.” Some examples of concerning behavior may include withdrawing, acting sad, self-harming, using drugs, gambling, or having unsafe sex. It’s important not to put too much pressure on your friend to talk, but letting them know that you’re there for them if they need you can help to reassure them. Offer to help them in any way that you can. Try saying something like, “I’m here for you if you ever want to talk,” or, “Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.” to your friend if they want to talk with you. Give your friend your undivided attention if they want to talk, such as by putting away your phone and shutting off the TV or your computer. Face them and make eye contact with them. While your friend is talking, pay close attention to what they say and nod to show you are hearing them. You can also rephrase what they say now and then to show you’re paying attention. For example, you might say something like, “It sounds like you’re saying that you haven’t felt happy in a while. Is that right?” with your friend to gain insight into what they’re feeling. Empathy is a way of understanding other people’s feelings by putting yourself into their shoes. Try to imagine how you’d feel if you were going through what your friend has experienced or described. You might feel sad, angry, confused, lonely, or all of these things at once. Be sensitive to your friend’s emotions as you listen and respond to them. For example, if your friend shares with you that they have been feeling depressed since the death of a family pet, imagine how you might feel if your...

The pain and other symptoms of spondylosis, whether acute or chronic, can be treated with home methods. Generally, the pain caused by spondylosis frequently improves after a few days. One good way to treat the pain is to use over-the-counter pain relievers.  Examples of OTC meds that help with this condition include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin (Bayer, Ecotrin), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), and naproxen (Aleve).  Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is another medicine that may also be helpful as a pain reliever. Acetaminophen is a safer option for individuals with a history of asthma, high blood pressure, liver disease, heart disease, or stomach ulcers. Topical pain relievers can complement or be used an alternative to oral pain relievers. They can be administered in multiple ways, such as in creams, foams, gels, roll-ons, sprays, and sticks.  The most common ingredients found in this class of medication are:  Counterirritants. Examples of counterirritants include camphor, menthol, and methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen). They work by creating a cooling or burning sensation that distracts an individual’s mind away from the pain. Popular brands include Bengay, IcyHot, and Tiger Balm. Capsaicin. Capsaicin is obtained from chili peppers and has been found to be very effective for topical pain relief. It causes a tingling or burning sensation upon the skin and may take several days before it actually relieves pain. Popular brands include Capzasin and Zostrix. Salicylates. Salicylates give aspirin its pain relieving qualities. They may be absorbed into the skin for local pain relief. A popular brand of topical salicylate is Aspercreme. There are several varieties of prescription-strength pain medications that your doctor may give you to treat the pain associated with this condition when non-prescription drugs are no longer sufficient. Your doctor may prescribe prescription-strength NSAIDs that will reduce any inflammation associated with spondylosis. Popular prescription NSAIDs include...

TL;DR in English: Try over-the-counter pain relievers. Use a topical pain reliever. Get a prescription medication. Try muscle relaxants. Talk to your doctor about a narcotic pain medicine. Ask about anti-seizure or antidepressant medications. Get an epidural steroid injection. Determine if you need surgery. Talk to your doctor about spinal decompression surgery.

Set a nonstick skillet or tava on your stove. Turn the heat on to medium. Allow the skillet to fully heat before you add your paratha. Melt another 7 teaspoons (33 g) of ghee. Dip the pastry brush in the ghee and brush some over each paratha circle. Turn the parathas over and brush the other side with ghee. Place one paratha in the heated skillet or tava. Cook the paratha for about 5 to 10 seconds. Use tongs to carefully flip it over and cook it for 10 to 15 seconds on the other side. Keep turning and cooking the paratha until both sides are lightly golden brown. This should take less than a full minute for each paratha. Serve the lachha parathas while they're warm. Store leftover parathas at room temperature for up to one day. You could also store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

Use a clear voice. Listen in addition to speaking. Speak your mind without apology. Do not attack or threaten others. Express gratitude. Maintain eye contact.

Set your oven’s temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (130 degrees Celsius), and let it heat fully so it’s warm enough to dry the pretzels. Next, place a wire cooling rack on a large baking sheet for the pretzels to dry on. Line the baking sheet with foil, parchment paper, or wax paper before placing the cooling rack on it. You’ll have less mess to clean up that way. Place 1 cup (175 g) of white melting chocolates or chips into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat the white chocolate on high in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval. Continue until the white chocolate is completely melted. You can melt the white chocolate in a double boiler if you prefer. Place ½ cup (125 g) of blueberry yogurt in one medium bowl and ½ cup (125 g) of vanilla yogurt in a separate bowl. Next, add a 2 ½ cups (312 g) of powdered sugar to each bowl, and mix until it’s fully incorporated into each yogurt flavor. You can use any flavors of yogurt that you like for the pretzels. If you prefer, you can also use 1 full cup (250 g) of a single flavor of yogurt and mix all of the powdered sugar into it. When the powdered sugar is fully mixed into each flavor of yogurt, add half of the melted white chocolate to the blueberry yogurt mixture and the other half to the vanilla yogurt mixture. Stir well until the white chocolate is fully incorporated into each mixture. When each flavor of the yogurt mixture is fully blended, coat 1 16 ounce (454 g) bag of miniature pretzels in the two flavors. Use a pair of tongs to dip the pretzels and lif them to set them on the cooling rack to dry. You can coat half of the pretzels in the blueberry flavored yogurt mixture and the other half in the vanilla, or break the flavors up to have more of your favorite. Once all of the pretzels are coated, shut off your oven. Set the baking sheet with the pretzels inside, and leave the door slightly open. Allow the pretzels to set for 3 to 4 hours before serving them. Store your leftover pretzels in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for 2 to 3 days.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven and set a cooling rack on a baking sheet. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Combine half of the powdered sugar with each yogurt flavor. Divide the white chocolate between the yogurt mixtures. Dip the pretzels into the yogurt mixture of your choice and set on the rack. Turn the oven off and place the baking sheet in the oven to dry the pretzels. Finished.

Fumbling over your words, or speaking too soft or loud, makes you look uncontrolled. Conversely, a clear and controlled voice can exude confidence. Try to speak in a manner that allows others to easily understand your words.  Use a clear voice both in work settings and personal conversations in order to appear confident. Stay aware of your tone when you talk so you avoid whispering or stammering. If you're nervous by nature, it can take some practice to get the right speaking tone. Try practicing speaking in front of a mirror. You can also record yourself talking and play it back to yourself to see if your tone is clear and easily understandable. Being confident does not mean being loud or argumentative. Confident people are secure enough in themselves and their opinions that they don't feel the need to dominate the conversations. Always give others a chance to speak. Allowing someone to politely disagree with you actually makes you look more confident.  Strive to allow others to talk at least as much as you do. After you finish a sentence or make a point, pause to allow the other person to respond. Show that you're listening as well. Use non-verbal cues, such as nodding and smiling when appropriate, to demonstrate you're paying attention to the other person. Oftentimes, people who are nervous by nature have a tendency to either avoid or diminish expressing their opinion. You may, for example, not speak up when you disagree, or begin by saying, "I'm sorry to disagree, but..." Work on simply speaking your mind. You do not have to be rude or aggressive, but be comfortable sharing your thoughts without filter.  Instead of apologizing when sharing your convictions, get straight to the point. Say something like, "Actually, I see the situation differently" and then proceed to explain. It's okay to appear passionate. Having strong passions is a form of confidence. Being aggressive and being confident are two different things. If you get angry or hostile when others challenge you, this makes you look insecure in...

Commit to yoga, mind and body. Focus on meditation. Try fasting.

When you start working on your index, you may want to use printed proof pages, or work directly from the computer screen. A searchable PDF will help you find the words you're indexing without disturbing the text. Typically, if you index from a hard copy you'll have to transfer your work to a digital file. If the work is particularly long, try to work straight from the computer so you can skip this extra step. Generally speaking, you'll want to index the entire text of your work, including the introduction and any footnotes or endnotes that expand on the content of the text. Typically, indexed items are nouns, like ideas, concepts, and things, that contribute to the subject of the text.  If footnotes or endnotes are merely source citations, they don't need to be included in the index. Generally, you don't need to index glossaries, bibliographies, acknowledgements, or illustrative items such as charts and graphs. If you're not sure whether something should be indexed, ask yourself if it contributes something substantial to the text. If it doesn't, it typically doesn't need to be indexed. Some publishers may require you to index any authors cited, either in text or footnotes. This may require a separate index, or they may be included in your general index. Check with your advisor or editor if you're not sure. In most cases, if you have a "works cited" section appearing at the end of your text you won't need to index authors. You would still include their names in the general index, however, if you discussed them in the text rather than simply citing their work. As you read through your work, make a list of the keywords or main concepts discussed in the text. Many of these you may already know off the top of your head. Creating an index card for each individual entry can help you sort and organize the entries before typing them up.  For example, if you're writing a book on bicycle maintenance, you might have index cards for "gears," "wheels," and "chain." Put yourself in your reader's shoes, and ask yourself why...

TL;DR in English: Choose your indexing source. Decide what needs to be indexed. List cited authors if necessary. Create index cards for entries if you’re indexing by hand. Use nouns for the main headings of entries. Include subentries for entries with 5 or more pointers. Identify potential cross references.

Most people who do yoga use it for physical exercise. There’s nothing wrong with this approach, but it leaves out yoga’s traditional mental and spiritual sides. If you are serious about being a yogi, learn more about the whole experience.  Total yoga is “a system for relieving suffering of the mind.” Traditionally, yogis held that people suffer because of their egos, which strive for control.  By teaching us how to calm the mind and quell the ego, yoga lets us live as we truly are and in harmony with the surrounding world. If you are interested in the inner secrets of yoga, consider reading classical texts like the Yoga Sutra or the Bhagavad Gita or modern takes like Yoga: the Greater Tradition. One thing that you can do to connect to yoga’s spiritual side is to meditate. Meditation is a mix of concentration and breathing that, if done right, can help you to reach a different state of consciousness, where the mind is alert, relaxed, and directed inward.  As part of yoga, meditation can reduce stress, lessen pain, and help you manage anxiety. But meditation can also open your mind. Try to find a quiet spot and sit comfortably, with your spine erect. Close your eyes and take deep breaths. Focus on your breathing, in and out, and let your attention rest on the rhythm. It is OK if your mind wanders, but always bring it back to your breathing.  Don’t expect to “get” anything out of meditation or to feel better or worse. The point is precisely the opposite – to free you from worldly anxieties and concerns. Also, don’t worry that you are doing it wrong – there is no “wrong way” to meditate! You may have heard that fasting is good for you physically. Many people believe that it allows your body to “detox” and somehow expel harmful toxins. While the evidence for this is spotty, fasting is practiced in yoga and other spiritual traditions to help develop willpower and focus the mind. Trying it might help you to reach a higher level in your journey.  The idea behind spiritual fasting is not just to skip a few meals, but...

TL;DR in English:


Use a drop shadow to give the illusion of depth. If the shadow is too pronounced, it will draw attention to itself and shatter the illusion. Shoot for an Opacity setting of 30-40% for a subtle and effective shadow. You can apply multiple shadow effects to give your shadows more depth. For example, you

Be subtle with your shadows. Layer multiple shadows for a more natural effect. Change the offset so that the shadow is directly below the object. Adjust your shadows accordingly when objects overlap.

You want a spot that has soft dirt so you can dig holes in it. Keep in mind that if you build your wrestling ring over grass, the grass underneath the ring will likely turn yellow or die. The size of your wrestling ring is up to you, but try to keep it between 8 feet (2.4 m) by 8 feet (2.4 m) and 16 feet (4.9 m) by 16 feet (4.9 m). Mark the corners of the square with stakes and use a tape measure to make sure they’re evenly spaced apart. Make the holes wide enough for the wooden posts to fit in them. When you’re finished, make sure the distance between the holes is the same so your ring isn’t lopsided. Insert the bottoms of the posts in the holes so they’re standing up straight. Then, hold a level flat against the posts to make sure they’re not tilted. Once you’re sure they’re straight, fill in the holes with dirt and pack them down so the posts are secure. These pieces of wood will run between the wooden posts to create the frame for your wrestling ring. The length of the pieces will depend on how big your ring is. To determine the length, measure the distance between 2 of your posts and add 12 inches (30 cm).  The extra 12 inches (30 cm) is so the pieces of wood extend over the sides of the posts (each post is 6 inches (15 cm) wide). You may need to cut the wooden pieces down to size, depending on the size of your ring. Set the pieces of wood on their side on the ground so they’re flush with the bases of the wooden posts. Line the ends of the pieces of wood up with the corners of the posts. Then, use a drill or hammer to fasten the ends of the wood to the posts. When you’re finished, the pieces of wood should make a square frame around your wrestling ring, with the posts in the corners.

TL;DR in English: Find a flat patch of ground for your wrestling ring. Measure and mark a square where your ring will go. Dig a 2 foot (0.61 m) deep hole in each corner of the square. Bury the bottoms of the posts in the holes. Buy four 2 inch (5.1 cm) tall by 8 inch (20 cm) wide pieces of wood. Drill or hammer the pieces of wood into the posts.

Drop shadows exist to give the illusion of depth to 2D objects. If the shadow is too pronounced, it will draw attention to itself and shatter the illusion. Shoot for an Opacity setting of 30-40% for a subtle and effective shadow. You can apply multiple shadow effects to give your shadows more depth. For example, you might have an object with text underneath it. Adding another faint shadow between the object and the text can help connect them in the viewer's eye. This is especially useful if you have multiple similar elements on the same page, such as buttons with labels underneath each one. The default settings for the shadow offset will display the shadow to the bottom-right of the object. A more natural and pleasing look, especially for web design, it to have the "light source" directly above the object so that the shadow only appears along the bottom edge. This will give your designs more balance. To do this, set the "Offset X" value to "0", and use the "Offset Y" value to set how deep the shadow is. Shadows exist to help the viewer determine depth. If you have multiple objects overlapping, and they all have the same drop shadow settings, your design will be hard to interpret. Overlapping elements should have smaller shadows, so that they don't appear to float high above the object below. Make all of your shadows sizes relative to the total height from the top overlapping object to the base.  For example, if the topmost object has a shadow that is 20 px on the base of the image, an object that is tucked underneath it should have a smaller shadow where it intersects the topmost object, maybe 10 px. Give higher objects a lighter shadow. As you build your drop shadows for multiple objects, your "higher" objects should have slightly lighter shadows, while objects that are "closer" to the canvas should have darker shadows. This will help differentiate between the different heights. Increase the blur radius for higher objects to make the shadows softer as well.

Eat more often than most people do. Avoid content farms. Prepare a portfolio of your best work. Advertise your skills online. Submit to publications that pay contributors. Look for editorial or content positions with online publications or businesses.

Eat more, and more often. Eat before bed. Stay warm and calm. Keep track of what you eat.

Once you've developed an understanding of the types of writing and the skills necessary to write online, start looking for some freelance opportunities and open calls for content. Most big cities that update regularly don't have a paid staff of writers. Rather, they contract out the content to freelancers, who are paid by the article, or as per some other arrangement. Whatever your niche interest, there are probably venues within that niche that hire freelance writers regularly. There are lots of databases of freelance job listings, one of which can be found here.   If you're searching around on Craigslist, try looking for telecommuting opportunities in major metropolitan areas. Lots of online writing gigs are listed in the Bay Area, though lots of content will have no connection to that geography. You can do the job just as well from Iowa or Indonesia as from Brooklyn or SF. There are also freelance agencies that serve small businesses, hiring out content and finding work for you. Digital Sherpa, Content Launch, and Zerys are examples of agencies that will hire you to write content for other sites on a rolling basis.  Many jobs that involve lots of writing online aren't necessarily titled "Writing Position." Look for subtler buzzwords, like "content" and "copy." Lots of Internet start-ups will use the jargon of the start-up, but the job will essentially revolve around writing tasks. Content farms will offer a small amount of money for a huge amount of writing expected from you in a very short amount of time. These kinds of jobs won't provide you any good copy to use on a resume, because content farms are completely devoted to producing exponentially increasing numbers of low-quality content, basically as a way of having something to slap ads on to. If you've ever wound up on a page with more ads than writing, or on a mis-spelled domain page, you've seen one of these sites. These sites pay writers next to nothing, have no content standards, and lower the standards of online discourse considerably. Avoid them....

The first step toward eating 9,000 calories a day is eating more often than most people do and finding ways to increase the amount of healthy food you can take in per meal.  Don't let more than four hours go by without eating a meal (unless you are sleeping).  Eating often will provide you with an opportunity to increase your caloric intake. Drink healthy beverages that have a high caloric content between and with your meals.  Fruit juices like apple juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, and grape juice are high in calories and nutrients. Buy bigger plates so meals seem smaller.  Silly as it may seem, bigger plates can make it easier to add more food to your plate (and your diet) without it seeming like too much. Sleep is when your body does most of its healing and repairing of bodily tissues, so eating right before bed will ensure your body has fresh nutrients available to maximize tissue production.  Your metabolism doesn't actually slow down while you're sleeping, but your body is much less active.  A meal before you go to sleep will ensure you use as many calories as you can out of your late night snacks for recovery and regeneration. Lost body heat is one of the biggest energy drains the human body endures regardless of activity level.  Adopting a 9,000 calorie daily diet means you're burning at least that many through your metabolism and training, so don't waste some of them on just keeping warm.  When you're cold, your body burns calories to create body heat.  Avoid the caloric cost keeping you warm by staying that way to begin with.  Stay warm to inhibit the production of thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormones aid in uncoupling proteins to create body heat and are also known as one of the stronger metabolism regulating hormones.  Stress also increases your metabolism.  Stress can release adrenaline and thyroxine which both can speed up your metabolism.  Reducing stress will limit your body's production and release of these chemicals. In order to make sure you're taking in as many calories as possible in...

Shampoo the wig. Apply conditioner to the tips of the wig. Pat the hair dry with a towel. Let the wig dry.

Active compounds found in tea are a natural alternative to harsh chemicals commonly found in store-bought dish soaps. Help degrease especially problematic dirty dishes by adding old teabags to a sink full of warm water and soaking them for a while before trying your hand at scrubbing them again. Set two or three used teabags in your toilet and let them sit for several minutes. Flush the toilet, then scrub the bottom of the bowl to help remove pesky stains at the bottom. Be careful, though—leaving the tea in the toilet for too long can actually cause more staining due to the tannins, so it might be better to use a lighter-colored tea for this purpose. Wipe your mirrors down with wet used teabags and then buff them dry with a soft cloth. The natural, active compounds in the tea help to break down scum, and making sure to dry the mirror in circular motions will help you achieve a streak-free shine. Split open your used teabags and wait for the tea leaves to become mostly dry. Then, sprinkle them all over your carpet or rug and wait until they are completely dry. Vacuum up the tea leaves, and not only will you have a cleaner carpet but your vacuum cleaner will smell better, too!

TL;DR in English: Degrease stubborn dishes. Clean the very bottom of the toilet bowl. Shine your mirrors. Clean your carpet or rug.

Use a color-safe shampoo or a special wig shampoo. Place the wig under a tap with warm water to get rid of any excess dye before lathering the wig with shampoo. Rinse out the shampoo when you are done. This will give extra shine to your wig. Avoid using any conditioner near the roots of your wig or else the hair might fall out. Rinse out the conditioner with cool or lukewarm water. Gently squeeze the wig with the towel to remove excess water. Place it back on the wig stand to dry. You can let it air dry or you can use a hair dryer on a low setting. If you are air drying the wig, leave it on the stand until it is completely dry. If you are blow drying it, run the hair dryer up and down through your hair. Make sure that the wig does not overheat.

When performing the push up, your lower back must be straight, i.e., not sagging or arching, and your feet must be shoulder width apart. Your elbows should be tucked close to your body, i.e., at a 20 to 40 degree angle from your abdomen. As you go down, make sure your chest gets as close to the floor as possible.  Make sure to tighten your abdomen, legs, and buttocks. This will prevent your back from arching and sagging. Try not to let your hips touch the floor. They should be on the same level as your shoulders. When you are performing the push up, make sure to inhale as you go down. Then exhale as you go back up. If it is hard for you to remember to breathe, then count out loud as you do your push ups. The act of talking will force you to breathe as you do your push ups. Start out by doing as many push ups as you comfortably can. This is called a set. Then do two more sets. Make sure to rest for 60 seconds or more in between sets. Practice this three to four times a week, or every other day until you are comfortable.  For example, if you can only do seven full push ups, then start out by doing three sets of seven push ups every other day until you are comfortable. Once you can comfortably do your normal number of push ups, add three to five more push ups. Adding more push ups will challenge your muscles, enabling you to build more muscle. Make sure to stick to your routine. If you find it hard to stick to a routine, then ask a friend to join you. Alternatively, you can hire a personal trainer to keep you on track as you strive for your goal.   For example, if you have been doing push ups three days a week, then do not throw off your routine by reducing it to twice a week. Depending on the intensity of your routine, you may see results in one to two months.

Like many other cuts of meat, New York strip steaks can be given extra flavor by soaking them in a marinade before cooking. We've provided a recipe to one simple but delicious marinade above, but literally hundreds of others will also work well. There aren't any hard and fast rules for making your own marinade, but there are a few basic guidelines that most marinades follow. If you're a novice, try including the following ingredients in your marinade to start with:  A source of fat. Usually, this is an oil, like vegetable oil, canola oil, olive oil, sesame oil, etc. An acid. This can be a citrus juice (like lemon, lime, or orange), wine, vinegar (balsamic, red wine, apple cider, etc.) or another acidic liquid. Other seasonings. You can get creative here — anything from Worcestershire sauce to dijon mustard to peanut butter to parsley to garlic to soy sauce can work, depending on whether it pairs well with the other ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste. When your marinade is mixed, put your steaks in an airtight plastic bag or a seal-able fridge container and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them sit in your fridge for at least two hours so that they're able to soak up the flavor of the marinade — some chefs let their meat marinade overnight or even several days to give it an extra dose of flavor. As with pan-searing, good grilled steaks require a high-temperature initial searing to develop their delicious crust. For this reason, you'll want to start your grill or barbecue well before you plan to cook. Keep the lid close to speed up the grill's heating process.  For gas grills, pre-heating is easy — simply set one or more burners to "high" and shut the lid for 5 minutes or so. For charcoal grills, first, you'll need to light your charcoal, wait for it to flame up, and finally ash over before cooking can begin. This process can take upwards of half an hour, so leave yourself plenty of time. Once your charcoals are ready for cooking, spread them out evenly with a grill tool to prepare the entire grill...
