Place the onions in a large stockpot with water. Set the burner to high, and allow the water to come to a full boil, which should take approximately 10 to 20 minutes depending on how much water you’re using. The amount of water that you should boil depends on how many onions you’re

Peel and chop the onions. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the onions to the pot and boil for several minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl of cold water. Drain the onions and place them in freezer bags.

If you are working on a fresh stain, you should try to absorb as much ink as possible. Before blotting the stain, place a white cloth or rag underneath the stained portion of the garment. This will prevent the stain from spreading to the back of the garment while you attempt to remove it. Use a white cloth to ensure that the color of the cloth doesn’t lift and further stain the garment you’re working on.

TL;DR in English: Place a cloth underneath the stain.

Do not recklessly attack Slade after mashing his mask off. He will be more dangerous than before, and he also won't let you attack him anymore. Any attempt to land a combo without countering will end up in a counter sequence beneficial to Slade only. Eventually, you will be able to land a few hits on him. Don't be too greedy with damaging Slade though. This battle is pretty long, and he isn't an easy opponent to beat, so it's better to conserve your HP. Once you've dealt enough damage, Slade will start using a gadget similar to the Batclaw. Once he fires it, it will attach to Batman's chest, and the other end will grab a canister of gas.  Use the counter button at the right time to send the canister flying at Slade. Quickly run up to Slade and attack him. If you fail to send the canister to Slade, he will start shooting at you with his gun, so try to send the canisters back as much as you can. When Slade’s HP reaches a certain low point, he'll once again throw a smoke pellet and attack you. This time, Batman will take Slade's staff and break it in half. In retaliation, Slade will now use his sword.

TL;DR in English: Be cautious. Wait for the opportunity to strike, and keep countering and blocking Slade's attacks. Prepare to counter again. Continue countering and landing small attacks on Slade until you get his HP down. Counter Slade's strikes and deliver a beat down once you're allowed to.

The size of the slices are up to you, but they should be sliced thin enough that they're ready to serve. You can slice up the entire ham, or you can do a bit at a time if you're not serving many people at once. The foil will help to keep any moisture released from the ham slices inside the dish, which helps prevent the ham from drying out. The foil should be wrapped around the sides of the dish to prevent any heat from escaping. in the oven. The oven should be set to 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius). How long you have to reheat it will depend on how much the ham weighs. You should leave the ham in the oven for 10 minutes for every pound (0.5 kg) it weighs. About halfway through your cooking time, remove the foil from a corner of the baking dish. The slices should still look mostly pink. If you notice them turning white, they're drying out. Add a few tablespoons of water to the dish and put the ham back in the oven.

TL;DR in English: Slice the ham into pieces. Place the ham slices in a shallow baking dish and cover with foil. Reheat the ham Check your ham to make sure it doesn't dry out.

Prepare the onions by trimming off the top and the bottom with a sharp knife. Next, remove the papery skin by peeling it off. Use the knife to chop the onions to the size that you prefer. Fill a large stockpot with water, and place it on the stove. Set the burner to high, and allow the water to come to a full boil, which should take approximately 10 to 20 minutes depending on how much water you’re using. The amount of water that you should boil depends on how many onions you’re blanching. For every pound (373 g), use 1 (3.8 l) gallon of water. Once the water has come to a boil, place the onions in the pot. Cover the pot, and allow the onions to cook for 3 to 7 minutes, depending on how many you’re blanching.  The more onions that you’re blanching, the longer you should leave them in the boiling water. With chopped onions, it’s easier to place them in a wire basket or perforated metal strainer and then set them in the boiling water. That way, you can quickly and easily remove them when they’re done. If you don’t have a basket or strainer, remove them from the boiling water with a slotted spoon. As soon as you remove the onions from the boiling water, place them in a bowl of ice or cold water. Let the onions sit in the cold water for the same amount of time that you boiled them to stop the cooking process.  The ice or cold water that you place the onions in after boiling shouldn’t be more than 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius). While the onions are in the cold water, stir them several times to ensure that they’re cooling evenly. When the onions have cooled long enough, drain them thoroughly in a colander. Shake well to remove the excess water, and blot with a clean towel. When they’re dry, transfer them to freezer bags and place them in the freezer. Be sure to label the freezer bag with the date so you can keep track of how long the onions are in your freezer.

Hydrangeas are rather unique garden plants because of their ability to change color according to the pH level of your soil. This means the color of hydrangeas in your garden will depend on how acid or alkaline the soil type is.  The scientific reason behind this is that different levels of aluminum become available to the plant depending on the soil's acidity level (also known as pH). Acidic soils have a high aluminum content, turning the flowers blue. An alkaline soil will produce pink blooms in hydrangeas; an acid soil will cause the same plant to bear blue flowers. The exception to this is white or green hydrangeas, which are unique varieties and don't change color. You won't have any success trying to change a white hydrangea to pink or blue! To see whether the soil in your garden is alkaline or acidic, you will need to test the pH levels. This will help you to predict the likelihood of growing blue hydrangeas.  Soil with a pH lower than 5.5 will result in bright blue hydrangea flowers. When the pH is 5.5 to 6.5 the flowers will be an odd purple color. Soil with a pH higher than 6.5 will cause the flowers to be pink. You can get a fairly good indication of whether your soil is alkaline or acidic using distilled white vinegar. Just grab a handful of your soil, pour the vinegar on top and wait for a reaction.   If the vinegar fizzes and bubbles when it comes in content with the soil, this means that the soil is alkaline and will produce pink hydrangeas. The more intense the fizzing, the more alkaline the soil. If nothing happens when the vinegar comes in contact with the soil, this means that the soil is either neutral or acidic and is more likely to produce blue hydrangeas. If you want to find out the exact pH value of your soil, you can test it using an at-home pH testing kit. These are widely available at gardening centers or online - just follow the instructions on the packaging. Alternatively, you can take a sample of your soil to a local gardening center where they will test the pH of the soil for you.

TL;DR in English: Know that blue hydrangeas grow in acidic soil, while pink hydrangeas grow in alkaline soil. Test the pH level of your soil. Use white vinegar to gauge whether the soil is alkaline or acidic. Test the pH of your soil scientifically.

It may seem silly, but locating the power switch is the most important step! This is located in different places depending on the sewing machine you have, but is normally on the right side of the body. This is a small plastic or metal pin that sticks out of the top of the sewing machine, and holds your spool of thread. The thread guide directs thread from the spool on the top of the machine to the bobbin winder. It is a geometric metal piece that sticks out of the top of the sewing machine on the left side. To the right of the spool pin on top of the sewing machine is another smaller plastic or metal pin, next to a small horizontal wheel. This is the bobbin winder and the bobbin winder stopper. These work together (with the spool of thread) to wind thread onto your bobbin prior to starting sewing. These are in different locations depending on the specific sewing machine you have, but there is typically a small screen next to a few physical buttons on the front side of the sewing machine. These buttons select the type of stitch you create, the length of the stitch, and the direction of the stitch (forward or in reverse). Check the manual for your specific machine to determine the functions for each of the buttons. When you're ready to thread your sewing machine, you will wind the thread from the spool on top, through the thread guide, and then around the takeup lever. This is the lever (with two cut-in grooves) located on the front left side of the sewing machine. There are typically numbers and arrows printed next to it to clearly direct you the way in which to thread the machine. The tension dial is a small numbered wheel near the takeup lever. It controls the tension of the thread as you sew; if the tension is too tight, the needle will be pulled to the right. If the tension is too loose, the thread will loop on the bottom of the fabric you are sewing. This is a metal piece that holds the needle in place while sewing. It is located under the arm of the sewing machine, looks similar to a large nail, and...

TL;DR in English: Find the power switch. Locate the spool pin. Look for the thread guide. Find the bobbin-winder. Look for the stitch adjustment buttons. Locate the thread take-up lever. Look for the tension dial. Find the needle clamp screw. Look for the presser foot. Find the presser foot lever and practice raising and lowering the presser foot. Look for the needle plate.

Make hunting less appealing by engaging your cat in predatory behavior in order to obtain its food. To do this, hide food around the house, and have your cat seek out the food. You can also use a puzzle/scatter feeder to feed it portions of its meals. You can either buy a feeder or make one at home. Clean an empty plastic bottle. Cut out holes in the bottle that are big enough to allow cat food through, but small enough to make it a challenge. Fill ¼ of the bottle or less with dry food and treats. Place the bottle in front of your cat. You cat will have to roll and knock the feeder to obtain the food. Channel your cat’s hunting behavior into more acceptable activities through play. Cats generally like to play with small, lightweight objects that are easy to flick, swat, and chase. You can either buy store bought toys, or make homemade toys for your cat. It is recommended that you play with your cat at least 30 minutes per day.  Store bought toys such as fishing rod-style toys, plastic balls with or without bells inside, or sisal-wrapped toys that your cat can dig its nails into are great examples of toys that will keep your cat entertained. Alternatively, round, plastic shower curtain rings, ping-pong balls, paper bags with the handles removed, empty cardboard toilet paper or paper towel tubes, and cardboard boxes are great examples of homemade toys and devices that cats love to play with. Remember to supervise your cat's play time to prevent it from ingesting any of the toys' parts, especially if your cat has a tendency to hunt and eat its prey.

TL;DR in English: Have your cat hunt for its food. Play with your cat.

If you're writing down every single word your teacher says, A) you're going to get so bored and B) you're going to have far too many notes to go over at home. Instead, stick to the important stuff and make it fun! Here are a few ideas:  Turn sentences into charts or pictures. Germany in 1941 was 60% Jewish? Turn it into a pie chart. It'll be easier to see in your notes, too. Use mnemonics to help you remember. What are the colors of the rainbow? Why, Roy G. Biv of course! (Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain) Use highlighters. The more color your notes have, the more fun they'll be to read. Develop a color-coding system to help you find stuff quicker, too. Most students seem to either not do the readings at all or sort of skim them during class while the teacher is talking about them. Don't be that student! Whether it seems important or not, always do the reading before class. In class you'll know exactly what's going on for when your teacher ends up calling your name. If you don't know what the reading was, look at your syllabus. There's a reason it should be in the front flap of your binder – it should have listed every piece of homework or reading and when it's going to be talked about. A quick look at that piece of paper and you'll know exactly what to do. If you want to actually understand your homework, do it thoroughly, and get the best grade on it possible, you can't do it on the ride to school the morning of. When you get home that night, sit down and get it over with. Then you can go watch TV, play video games, and not worry about it the next morning. If you have a long time to do a certain piece of homework, that means it's probably bigger than usual and important. Do a bit each day after you get it – that way the work is spread out and you don't feel swamped. Lots of teachers give points just for showing up. Why give those points up when all you have to do is walk in the door? But beyond that, lots of teachers give participation points, too. Raise your hand even if you don't know the answer – your...

Present your kitten with replacement milk. Acclimate the kitten to bowl feeding. Introduce solid food. Transition to solid food around eight to 10 weeks.

In general, it's best to feed your husky a mixture of commercial dog food and raw food. They need a diet high in protein, so feeding a well-balanced commercial food combined with raw red meat can fulfill their dietary needs.  You could spend a good portion of your life researching dog food and trying to figure out what is best. If you are unsure about what to feed your dog, consult with your veterinarian. He or she should have a good suggestion for you. Never feed a dog cooked bones! They can splinter and injure, or kill, your dog. Raw bones, on the other hand, are great for a husky to chew on. A good rule to follow is to add fat and protein during the cold months and hard training, and to subtract fat and protein during the warm months. This may be as simple as feeding one brand of food in the winter and another in summer. Only feed after exercise. Feeding before exercise puts your husky at risk of gastric bloat and torsion. This serious condition can kill a dog. A good rule to follow is to feed 30 minutes after exercise or four hours before exercise. Every dog needs unlimited access to water in order to stay healthy and hydrated. This is especially important to remember in cold climates and cold winter months, when water dishes may freeze. Ether move your dog's water dish into a warm area that it can always access or invest in a water system that will not freeze.

TL;DR in English: Feed your husky a balanced diet. Feed your husky a seasonal diet if it is an outdoor dog. Provide water for your husky at all times.

Certain people, places, and situations make sinning easy. Certain sins are  impossible  without the right equipment, setting, or people. Make sure that you stay far away from the things that lead you to sin. If you have a drug addiction, stay out of the parts of town where these things are sold. If you're frequently persuaded by certain friends to commit acts of vandalism, don't hang out with these friends. By distancing yourself from the people and things associated with your sin, you're eliminating opportunities for sin and giving yourself less chances to fail.  Generally, it's a good idea to help other people work through their own sins. However, if you're struggling with the pull of your own temptations, sinful people can make it difficult to escape. Wait until you have your temptations under control before returning to help these people with their own sins. Eliminate the sources of temptation from your home. For instance, throw out a pornography collection. You may, in some cases, need to eliminate distractions from your own home. For instance, kick out a roommate who frequently convinces you to neglect your responsibilities. You don't need to fight your temptations alone. There is no shame in asking for help from God or from another person. If you're having difficulty avoiding your temptations, don't hesitate to turn to a priest, imam/sheikh/scholar, clergyman, pastor, counselor, or trusted friend. Accepting help is a strong, sensible thing to do and part of these peoples' purpose is to help you when you're experiencing difficulty. Certain temptations (like, for instance, the temptation to look at pornography) aren't necessarily seen as sinful by mainstream society, although they are. If you're looking for help with such a temptation, it might make more sense to consult a priest, rabbi, imam, etc. rather than a secular helper. There's truth to the old saying "Idle hands are the devil's playthings." If you keep yourself busy with good, virtuous work or an assortment of hobbies, you'll have less time to...

TL;DR in English: Avoid situations and people that lead to sin. Get help. Occupy yourself. Be persistent.

Newborn and young puppies are very delicate. Handle them with care. Puppies can’t see or hear very well before they’re a few weeks old, so picking them up and holding them may make them nervous or fussy.   Never pick up a puppy by its tail! Slide your hand under as much of the body as possible to offer the best support as you pick up the puppy. Handle puppies as little as possible during their first two weeks after birth. Over-handling them could upset the mother dog or harm the puppies.  If possible, wait until the puppies are at least 3-4 weeks old before trying to determine their sex. They will have had enough time to bond with their mother and develop a bit by then. Lay the puppy in your hands on its back, with its paws in the air. Make sure you support the puppy’s whole body with your hands so you don’t stress their spine. Don’t squeeze the puppy.  It may be easier if you have someone else hold the puppy so you can do the visual inspection. You can also rest them on their backs on a warm towel spread on a table. This will help keep the puppy warm. Newborn puppies cannot maintain their own body temperature for several weeks after they’re born. They can take a chill very easily. Don’t hold the puppy away from its mother longer than is necessary. 5-10 minutes should be the limit for handling young puppies. Use a heating pad or hot water bottle wrapped in a towel in the puppy’s bed to help keep it warm. If the puppy shows signs of distress, such as squalling or squirming, put the puppy back with its mother immediately. The mother may also become distressed if she isn’t used to you handling her pups. If you notice signs of her getting distressed, such as barking at you, put the puppy back with the mother.

TL;DR in English: Pick up the puppy gently. Hold the puppy in cupped hands. Work quickly. Observe any distress.

At first, your kitten will need about four to five meals a day. Give them around 1/3 cup of replacement milk and kitten chow for each meal. They'll be fine to go through the night without a meal, but if you hear them making noise, it is ok to leave them some extra food before you go to bed. If you have a newborn that's been removed from its mother, you'll need to replicate the suckling nature of its normal feeding time with an eye dropper. Fill the eye dropper with the replacement milk you've purchased. Hold the kitten securely and then slowly add a few drops of milk into the kitten's mouth at a time. Alternatively, some people dip their finger in the milk and let the kitten lick it off this way. This may be a difficult process for your kitten. If it is used to suckling milk from its mother, it will find the bowl a strange substitute. Simply show the kitten where the milk is. Dip your finger in the bowl and present it to the kitten. It will eventually recognize the scent and will explore it further. Refrain from pushing the head of the kitten into the bowl. Doing so could cause him to inhale the milk, which could lead to lung issues. If the kitten is initially reluctant, return to dropper feeding or to his mother. However, begin every feeding by offering the bowl first to encourage the kitten to drink from the bowl. Once the kitten is accustomed to lapping from the bowl, offer a gruel mixture. To make a gruel, mix a ground high quality kitten food with the milk replacer. The initial consistency should be similar to oatmeal. Many people use a blender to mix their cat food with the milk replacer. You can introduce your kitten to this gruel and other moist foods around five to six weeks. Eventually stop providing gruel and, instead, offer well moistened kitten food. When you switch to the kitten food, make sure you provide a separate bowl of water for the animal.  To complete the transition, moisten the kitten food less and less until it is accepted by the kitten in its original consistency. A bowl of water...

It is important to know how to turn off speakerphone during a call without hanging up on the caller on the other end.  Pick up the handset. By picking up the handset, your corded landline phone will automatically switch the call from the built in speaker to the handset earpiece. Push the speakerphone button. If your landline phone has a headset attached, simply depress the “’Speakerphone’” button on the phone and the call will automatically switch from the speaker to the headset. With a cordless phone it is not nearly as intuitive to turn off the speakerphone during a call. Press the talk button. On a cordless landline phone, such as the Panasonic KX-TGE233B, push the “’Talk’” button on the handset and the audio will automatically be switched from the speaker to the earpiece on the handset.

This is an alternate brewing method and should be used if you do not intend to heat your juice before fermenting it. You should not use both brewing methods.  Sulfites come in the form of campden tablets. The sulfites are fairly mild and are usually neutralized by the time the cider is ready to enjoy. You will need to let the juice sit for a while after adding the sulfites in order to reduce the strength of the sulfites. Otherwise, the sulfites may kill some of the yeast. Pour the juice or cider directly into the container you intend to ferment the cider in. A professional-grade fermenter leaves the smallest room for error, but you can use five 1-gallon (4-L) empty milk jugs for a cheaper option. Use the back of a spoon to crush the tablets into a fine dust. Crush the tablets on a plate or other surface that you can easily remove the powder from. Add the crushed campden tablets to your juice or cider and stir slightly with a spoon to mix. Cover the fermenter and allow the sulfites to sit in the juice for a full two days before you ferment the cider. You will ferment the juice with remnants of the sulfites in it. These sulfites will not get filtered out.

TL;DR in English: Understand when and why to use this method. Pour the juice into your fermenter. Crush the campden tablets. Stir the campden tablets into your juice. Let set for two days.

Your crush’s body language can tell you a lot about how they are feeling when you are together. More open postures like legs set wider and hands on hips indicate comfort. More closed postures, knees crossed or arms crossed over their chest indicate unease. Try to read your crush’s body language to gauge their physical comfort with you. This can help you read if a moment for an unexpected kiss is right. If your crush’s body language tells you they are feeling comfortable with you, try some physical contact, like brushing their arm or even holding hands. This can help you feel out if a kiss they aren’t anticipating will go over well or not. If you’re afraid your kiss out of the blue may be rejected by your crush, try kissing them on the cheek. If they are comfortable with that, they could be receptive to more intimate kissing from you.

When you've removed someone from your life, you'll need time to mourn that loss. Even if a relationship was negative, ending it can bring about a feeling of loss. Give yourself some time to evaluate your feelings and come to terms with the loss. It can be helpful to write a goodbye letter. This letter will not be read or sent, but writing it can be cathartic. Pretend you're writing to the person in question and state exactly how you feel. This is a great way to get out all the things you felt you couldn't say when ending the relationship. Ritual is important to marking big events or big changes. When a relationship ends, it's sad. You can have some kind of ritual that helps you symbolically mark the end of a friendship or other relationship. For example, you can throw away items that remind you of a person, like old photos or keepsakes. While it may feel silly, many people find ritual helps bring them closure. You should make an effort to surround yourself with positive people after removing the losers from your life. Seek out friends who make you feel good about yourself. Choose people who make you feel energized and happy after you hang out. You may feel guilty about ending a relationship. However, try to silence feelings of guilt you experience after ending a relationship. You deserve to feel respected and to have your needs met. Everyone ends relationships throughout the course of a lifetime. You don't have to feel bad about making the decision to cut ties, especially if someone's presence caused you undue stress.

TL;DR in English: Give yourself time to mourn. Plan a ritual. Surround yourself with positive people. Avoid feelings of guilt or shame.

It's easy to forget that docking stations themselves require power just like all of the other devices at your desk. If you can't seem to get your docking station to do anything, quickly check to make sure that its power cord is securely connected to an outlet. Many modern docking stations will also have a small light to indicate they are receiving power. In cases where some of the peripherals attached to a docking station seem to work but others don't, the problem may be with the malfunctioning device's connections. Check to make sure each peripheral is firmly plugged into the proper port on the docking station.  In rare cases where your devices' plugs have accumulated too much dust to register with the docking station, you may need to gently clean. Try using compressed air or a computer-safe cloth to clean away any dust or gunk and reconnecting.  You may also want to try using a cotton swab dampened with rubbing alcohol or commercial electronics cleaning solution for clearing external plugs. Usually, when you connect a new device (like a docking station) to your computer, it will automatically be detected and the computer will install drivers (files that allow the computer to use the device properly). However, in rare cases, the computer may have difficulty finding or installing drivers on its own. If this happens, your docking station may not function, so you'll need to download and install the appropriate drivers yourself. Drivers are usually available for free download from the manufacturer's website. Most modern computers also have the ability to locate drivers online on their own (see our article on installing drivers for more information.) As a very general rule, if your docking station physically connects to your laptop, there's a good chance that it will be compatible. However, this isn't always the case. If you can't seem to get your laptop to interact with your docking station, there's a chance that it simply isn't built to be compatible. Try looking up the model name of your docking station on its...

TL;DR in English: Ensure the docking station is receiving power. If peripheral devices don't work, check their connections. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your docking station. Check with the manufacturer to ensure you're using a compatible station. Use only the charging cable that came with your docking station. If you can't get the station to work, connect the peripherals to the laptop.

Spending about half an hour every other day over a 4-5 month period is reasonable. Organize your study time between maths, vocab, and grammar. Study for each section thoroughly using SAT testing aids. There are many different testing aids available; books and practice tests can be found at the SAT Preparation Center. The Economist magazine is an excellent source of articles that are just the right length. There are several online sources as well. Try to read a few every day. After taking a practice test, you should spend about the same amount of time you spent taking the test on going through your answers. Try to remember why you picked a certain answer.  See if you notice a pattern. There almost always is one. The SAT is a multi-subject text, which means that excelling in certain areas but doing poorly in others can give you a mediocre overall score. Make the most of your study time by devoting as much time as you can to the things you're not good at, rather than the things you are good at. If you're not sure how to begin addressing your weak spots, try talking to your teachers in these subjects for advice. Do you have trouble with the difficult algebraic questions? Are you in the dark about some of the more obscure grammatical rules? Study more for these areas than you would others. It is recommended that you study at least twice as long in difficult areas as you would easier ones. Understand the concepts first, then practice those concepts with problems and questions.  While memorizing can be helpful, particularly with vocabulary, it isn't the whole thing.  Understanding goes a lot further than memorization. You can't afford to spend a few minutes getting to know the calculator on the day of your test. As important as it is to prepare mentally, learning the material from front to back, it's almost as important to ensure you're emotionally prepared. A positive, focused, high-energy attitude can make the difference between whether you do good or great on the SAT. For the best chance of excelling, do...

Make thirty units. Start putting the units together. Start with two units of different colors. Pick a unit of a different color (pictured red) next and put its tab in the 'orange' pocket, while also inserting the 'yellow' tab in the 'red' pocket. Notice that each unit has two pockets. Take a new (red) unit as before, and put its tab in the second orange unit's pocket, also putting the yellow tab in the red unit's pocket. Continue adding pyramids in this manner until you have five pyramids that all meet at a point. Keep adding pyramids to your stellated icosahedron, making sure that there are never more than five pyramids meeting at a point. Proceed, making sure that no more than five pyramids meet at a point, and your model will take shape. Hooray!

To do that, drain the water completely. Look for the opening that leads underwater (it's in the northern part of the temple). Dive under, follow the path, then turn around and latch onto the target above you. Latch onto the target above the door, then use a Small Key to open it. You will find yourself in a room full of Tektites (the spider-like enemies). From the Tektite room, make your way underwater using the Iron Boots. Swim to the next room. Once in the next room, you will see a pool of water and a long platform to your left. Jump onto the platform and kill the Stingers. Look at the wall by the entrance. Part of it will have a lighter color than the rest. Use a bomb to detonate that part of the wall, and a secret passage will appear. After you find the secret passage, you will see another weak wall. Detonate it with a bomb, and a brown block will appear. Navigate around the block and push it until it falls on top of a switch. A new door on the left side of the room will become available. Climb the stairs, go through the new door, and press the switch to activate three geysers in the gap beside you. Cross the gap as quickly as possible, avoiding the Tektites. You will be able to enter the next room, where you will see a small waterfall. Boulders will roll down from the right of the waterfall. Avoid them and head into the gap, following the underwater path until you find a dead end. When you hit the dead end, kill the Shell Blade and then float upwards. Inside the door in front of you will be the Boss Key.

TL;DR in English: Find the room filled with Tektites. Access the next room. Find the secret passage. Activate the switch. Activate the geysers. Proceed to the next room. Reach the dead end. Get the Boss Key.

The formula for calculating kinetic energy (KE) is KE = 0.5 x mv2. Here m stands for mass, the measure of how much matter is in an object, and v stands for the velocity of the object, or the rate at which the object changes its position. Your answer should always be stated in joules (J), which is the standard unit of measurement for kinetic energy. It is equivalent to 1 kg * m2/s2. If you are solving a problem where the mass isn’t given, you will have to determine the mass yourself. This can be done by weighing the object on a balance and obtaining the mass in kilograms (kg).  Tare the balance. Before you weigh your object, you must set it to zero. Zeroing out the scale is called taring.  Place your object in the balance. Gently, place the object on the balance and record its mass in kilograms. If necessary, convert grams to kilograms. For the final calculation, the mass must be in kilograms. Oftentimes, the problem will give you the velocity of the object. If this is not the case, you can determine the velocity by using the distance an object travels and how long it takes to cover that distance. The units for velocity are meters per second (m/s).  Velocity is defined by the equation, displacement divided by time: V = d/t. Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both a magnitude and a direction. Magnitude is the number value that quantifies the speed, while the direction is the direction in which the speed takes place during motion. For example, an object’s velocity can be 80 m/s or -80 m/s depending on the direction of travel. To calculate velocity, simply divide the distance the object traveled by the time it took to travel that distance.

TL;DR in English: Know the formula for calculating kinetic energy. Determine the mass of an object. Calculate the velocity of the object.

If you're working with a thin bar of chocolate, you can use your fingers to snap the chocolate into even pieces. This is especially easy if the bar has been divided into blocks or squares. If the bar of chocolate is too thick to break with your fingers, place the chocolate on a cutting board and chop it with a knife. Try to cut the chocolate into pieces that are about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick.

TL;DR in English: Break the chocolate into pieces.

If you have three different colors of paper, make ten of each color. The surface of the stellated icosahedron is made up of a number of pyramids (in fact, if you take the regular icosahedron - a solid with twenty triangular faces - and make each face the base of a triangular pyramid, you get a stellated icosahedron). So we start by using the units to make a series of connected pyramids. To get a more simple idea of this complex cube you are now going to build, just think of an only 12-faced regular pentagonal dodecahedron (a Platonic solid), and imagine each of its 20 vertices (5 at the top, 5 at the bottom and 10 around in-between) will be replaced by a pyramid. With 30 units you will shape together those 20 pyramids. The triangular ends of each unit are called 'tabs', and the square in the center of the unit contains 'pockets' made up by the cupboard fold that goes along the diagonal. Begin by putting the tab of one unit (pictured in orange below) into the pocket of another (pictured in yellow). Congratulations - you made your first pyramid! Continue by taking a new unit (orange in this case), and put its tab in the yellow unit's second pocket. Tada! You now have two adjacent pyramids. If you are using three unit colors, make sure to never put the tab of a unit into a pocket of another unit of the same color. This ensures a regular, colorful pattern on your stellated icosahedron. You may need to feel your way around a bit to make sure that you never end up having to put a tab into a pocket of the same color. Don't worry if you do - you can carefully prise your units apart and rearrange them until you find a proper arrangement. The last unit is tricky - you'll have to make sure that both its tabs go into pockets, and both its pockets are filled by the two remaining free tabs. Proceed with care. You now have a fully formed, colorful, stellated icosahedron.

. Cut the ends of the asparagus if the spears are thick. Wash the asparagus. Fill a large pot with a couple inches of water and place a vegetable steamer into the pot. The water should not seep through the holes in the steamer; if it does, pour some water out of the pot. Put the asparagus in the pot and bring to a boil. Steam until soft or until you reach the texture you want.  Consider serving steamed, grilled, or roasted asparagus as the first course at dinner. It is traditionally served with fresh-melted butter or freshly-made Hollandaise sauce. Eat with forks or fingers. Asparagus gets soft and moist when you steam it, and the result can taste bland. Add salt and other seasonings to spice up the flavor. Bear in mind that even though asparagus is very healthy, adding tons of salt and other seasonings may offset the health factor. Cut the the ends of asparagus if the spears are thick. Wash the asparagus. Make a "boat" with aluminum foil for the asparagus to go in; the sides should be high enough to prevent the oil and asparagus from spilling over. Pour 1-2 tbsp. of olive oil into the aluminum foil "boat", and lay the asparagus in on top. Place the "boat" on an outdoor grill on medium heat until the spears reach the texture you want.  Asparagus gets tougher when you grill it, but it still retains all of its moisture. The best part is that when it's cooked, you don't lose any nutrients! This is one of the simplest, tastiest ways to eat asparagus if you don't want to work it into a more complicated recipe. on a griddle. Trim the spears and drizzle them with a bit of olive oil and seasoning. Toss the spears and seasoning in a bowl to mix. Then place the asparagus onto a hot griddle pan; ridged is ideal, but a flat iron skillet will do. Leave on a medium heat until blackened on one side (1-2 minutes). Roll over and cook the other sides. Serve warm. . Asparagus develops a rich flavor when roasted, making this one of the most popular ways to eat the vegetable.

Having a chance to see if his treatment of you changes when she is around can go a long way in making sure they are just friends.  If your boyfriend suddenly won't show you affection when the three of you are together, there probably is a problem. If they are really just friends, both your boyfriend and his friend should show you respect. If you can hang out with the two of them and not get any bad vibes, chances are, they are just friends and you have nothing to worry about. If you have concerns about her intentions, it might make you feel better to spend some time with them together and with her on your own. Perhaps spending more time with her can help you to see that your concerns were not warranted.  When the two of you spend time together, try to view her from your boyfriend's eyes. Does she have a fun personality? Does she tell great jokes? Is she a great listener? Give her the benefit of the doubt and don't immediately look for flaws. If there's nothing more to their relationship, she should have no problem getting to know you better. It's a red flag if she seems jealous because you two have very different roles in his life. If you have trouble accepting their friendship, you may need to check yourself. Passive-aggression can be demonstrated when you are afraid to speak your mind or wary of being honest. You may not listen when your boyfriend talks about his female friend. Or, you may plan his birthday party and "forget" to invite her. Passive aggression may serve your purposes, but it can also destroy your relationship.If you notice yourself doing these things, ask yourself how you can have your thoughts and needs met in a more adaptive way.

Ring-sizers are plastic sheets with a variety of different sizes on them, which you can slide your finger into to find an appropriate fit. These are available at every jewelry counter for sizing rings. Your ring should fit your finger comfortably. It needs to be snug enough so that it stays on, but loose enough to slide off at the knuckle. The size of your finger changes very subtly, depending on the time of the day, what you've been doing, and the kind of weather. Fingers are smaller in the early morning and when cold.  Try to measure your finger a couple times at different times of day, to make sure you get an accurate sizing for your ring. Don't use string or a measuring tape to try to measure your finger size. This can be pretty inaccurate, and lead to ill-fitting rings. The following sizes are the width of your finger. If, after using the ring-sizer, you find that you're comfortable between two, always go a size up. This helps to ensure that you'll have some extra room and your ring will fit comfortably. The most common women's size is 6, while the most common men's size is 9.  Size 5 – 15.7mm Size 6 – 16.5mm Size 7 – 17.3mm Size 8 – 18.2mm Size 9 – 18.9mm Size 10 – 19.8mm Size 11 – 20.6mm Size 12 – 21.3mm Size 13 – 22.2mm . Most rings can be resized by professional jewelers, if you find the ring has become tight over time. If you return it to the place where you purchased it, they'll often do it for free. Milgrain and some other types of Tungsten rings can't usually be resized.

TL;DR in English: Use a ring-sizer to find the appropriate size for a ring. Measure your fingers at the end of the day and when your fingers are warm. Find your size. Consider getting your ring resized if it doesn't fit

If the center of gravity you found is outside of the system of objects, you have the wrong answer. You may have measured the distances from more than one point. Try again with just one datum.  For example, for people sitting on a seesaw, the center of gravity has to be somewhere on the seesaw, not to the left or right of the seesaw. It does not have to be directly on a person. This is still true with problems in two dimensions. Draw a square just large enough to fit all of the objects in your problem. The center of gravity must be inside this square. If you picked one end of the system as your datum, a tiny answer puts the center of gravity right next to one end. This can be the right answer, but it's often the sign of a mistake. When you calculated the moment, did you multiply the weight and distance together? That's the correct way to find the moment. If you accidentally added them together instead, you'll usually get a much smaller answer. Every system only has a single center of gravity. If you find more than one, you might have skipped the step where you add all the moments together. The center of gravity is the total moment divided by total weight. You do not need to divide each moment by each weight, which only tells you the position of each object. The answer to our example is 9.08 ft. Let's say you try it and get the answer 1.08 ft., 7.08 ft, or another number ending in ".08." This most likely happened because we chose the left end of the seesaw as the datum, while you chose the right end or some other point an integer distance from our datum. Your answer is actually correct no matter which datum you choose! You just need to remember that the datum is always at x = 0. Here's an example:  The way we solved it, the datum is at the left end of the seesaw. Our answer was 9.08 ft, so our center of mass is 9.08 ft from the datum at the left end. If you pick a new datum 1 ft from the left end, you get the answer 8.08 ft for the center of mass. The center of mass is 8.08 ft from the new datum, which is 1 ft...

Maybe you’re both into hiking or you’re both into amusement parks, or maybe one of you likes the beach and the other prefers the mountains. Find someplace that has something for both of you, especially if your tastes differ. It can be a sweet gesture to choose the destination that your new spouse loves, but if there’s nothing there to interest you, it will be far less fun for both of you. No matter how blissful you might be feeling, it’s hard to enjoy a vacation if the weather has you miserable, the lack of things to do is boring you out of your mind, or the tourist crowds are unbearable.  Assess the weather. If you’re getting married in a month of extreme heat or cold, you may want to find someplace more temperate to party. Check climate data websites to see what the average temperature is for the time of year you plan to visit.  Travel during Shoulder Season—the period of time between peak and non-peak tourism dates. You might save quite a few pennies by coming in just after the high demand has gone, and not only will the pace be more laid back and enjoyable for you, you might find the locals friendlier and more welcoming when you’re not part of a mob of tourists.  Delay your trip. Consider putting off your honeymoon for a few months if you’re getting married during your dream destination’s off season. This could have the side benefit of giving you more time to save. If you’re traveling in low season, or even Shoulder Season, some tourist destinations may have limited hours, or be closed altogether. The last thing you want to do is show up to a shut-down town. Consult the websites of the attractions you wish to visit to find a listing of their hours during your travel dates.

. Managing your time will significantly help you become a better student and a more-productive worker. Time-management skills are highly valued by teachers and employers alike, and they can help ensure that you never miss a deadline or fail to prepare for an exam.  Use a calendar or planner to help you keep track of deadlines, appointments, and other obligations. Don't procrastinate. You won't actually buy yourself any time, and you'll just be even more stressed later on. Break your tasks down into smaller, more manageable parts. This can help make a big project much easier to accomplish.  Have a timeline for the things you need to accomplish and work on those tasks in a logical order. Decide which tasks are a priority and which tasks/projects need to be completed before the next can be started. Every instructor designs exams differently. If your teacher hasn't specified how he or she arranges tests/exams and which material will be covered, you'll need to ask your teacher outside of class. That way you'll be able to adequately prepare for the test more efficiently.  Start studying early. Avoid procrastinating and cramming right before a test/exam. Try to understand the material both broadly and precisely. Start out with the general concept and work towards understanding the details of each subject. Test yourself as you study to determine which subject areas need more work. Use flash cards to review terms/names/dates, then design a self-quiz to see if you have a firm grasp on the material. Whether you missed an important class, have trouble with certain concepts, or are dealing with a stressful family emergency, there's a chance that your grades might slip at some point. If this happens, it's important to get help right away. Remember that you don't have to resign yourself to bad grades if you're proactive and dedicated to your studies.  Keep track of your grade in the course and recognize patterns of poor grades. Your instructor may not address your grades unless you bring them up.  Set up a meeting with your...

You can purchase mature watercress at a supermarket or farmer’s market. Just soak the base of the stalks in water for a few days to encourage root growth and proceed to plant them in soil as you would from seed. You can also start watercress from seeds, which you can find at a farmer's market, gardening store, or online. Watercress grows well in cool, but sunny spots with partial shade. Planting watercress in the shallow portion of a steady-flowing, freshwater stream or creek is ideal, but you can also create your own pool or bog of water. Ideal planting times are in early spring after the last frost, or in early fall before temperatures drop too low. If you have a steady flowing stream or creek, simply mix in four to six inches (10.1 to 15.2 cm) of organic compost into the top six to eight inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm) of soil. If you don’t have an existing water source, dig a hole that is roughly two feet (61 cm) across and 12 inches (35 cm) deep to create a bog. Line the bottom and sides with a large sheet of heavy plastic pond liner, leaving a four inch (15.2 cm) lip at the top and punch a few holes in the sides for drainage. Fill the lined hole with a mixture of one part garden soil, one part coarse builder's sand, one part compost and a handful of fertilizer. If planting next to a stream, make sure the soil is deeply soaked. If you’ve created a growing site, fill the bog to the brim with water. If you’ve created a growing site, water the area every two to three days to ensure it remains thoroughly soaked or install a water pump to keep fresh water circulating through the bog. Sow the seeds 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) deep and roughly 1/2 inch (12.6 mm) apart, and cover with a thin layer of fine gardening soil. You can also start the watercress indoors using the method above or transplant mature plants. However, as the plants can be delicate, they may prove difficult to transplant. Once the watercress has sprouted, thin the seedlings roughly four to six inches (10.1 to 15.2 cm) apart. If small white flowers appear,...

TL;DR in English: Start growing from mature watercress or seeds. Choose a location for planting. Prepare the growing site. Create a growing site. Water the growing site. Plant the watercress. Cultivate the watercress. Harvest the watercress.

Look on the right side of your radiator near the floor to find the valve. Use a screwdriver and turn the screw counter-clockwise until it’s loose. Set the screw aside in a safe place so you don’t lose it.  Not all lockshield valves will have a screw. Check the valve beforehand to determine if you need a flathead or Phillips head screwdriver. Lockshield valves have caps that don’t control anything when if you try to turn them. Remove the cap to access the actual valve underneath. When the screw is removed, simply lift the cap off the valve and set it aside so it doesn’t get lost. If your valve cap had a screw, store the cap and screw together. Grip the top of the metal valve with a sturdy pair of pliers and turn it clockwise. Keep turning the valve until it doesn’t go any further. When it’s all the way to the right, the radiator is off. The metal valve may be hot so do not touch it with your bare hands.

TL;DR in English: Remove the screw from the valve cap if there is one. Take the cap off of the valve. Turn the valve clockwise with a pair of pliers.

A mole (also called congenital nevi) is a pigmented birthmark (caused by an overgrowth of the melanin-producing cells) on the skin that generally appears during childhood. The typical characteristics of moles include:  Tan, brown, red, pink, blue or black color. Smooth, flat, wrinkled or raised texture. Oval to round shape. Typically less than 1/4 inch in diameter but sometimes moles can be bigger. Sometimes moles have hair growing on them. Most moles are harmless but in rare cases they can become cancerous. Monitor your moles and contact your doctor if their appearance changes. These pigmented birthmarks are sometimes caused by a genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis. This condition is divided into three distinct types; the mildest form (neurofibromatosis 1) appears in childhood and is characterized by flat, light brown-colored birthmarks on the skin:  Café au lait spots can be present at birth or appear during childhood and then stabilize. They can be treated with lasers but often return.  In addition to birthmarks, neurofibromatosis 1 may be characterized by freckling in the armpit, soft bumps on or under the skin (neurofibromas or benign tumors), tiny, harmless bumps on the eye (called Lisch nodules), and/or  bone deformities. The two other types (neurofibromatosis 2 and 3) are much less common than the first type and are characterized by more serious symptoms and tumors. If you suspect your child has neurofibromatosis, consult the pediatrician. Neurofibromatosis can't be cured, but your child’s pediatrician will monitor the complications and treat the symptoms. These are pigmentation birthmarks in children that commonly disappear when the child reaches school age. Typical characteristics of Mongolian spots include:  Blue or blue-gray-colored spots on the buttocks, back, spine, shoulders, or other areas. Flat and irregular shape. The skin texture is normal. Typical size is between 2 and 8 centimeters wide. Because these marks disappear on their own, no treatment is recommended. Also known as salmon...

Put the lid on the blender and turn it on to a high speed for around a minute. Keep processing it until any herbs are finely chopped and the vinegar and oil emulsify slightly to combine. Pulse the blender once or twice more once it's done to catch any herbs that haven’t been cut fully. Transfer your meat into a fitting zip-lock bag and carefully pour over your prepared marinade. Seal the bag firmly and use your hands to massage the steak slightly, so as to make sure the marinade is covering all of the meat. If you do not have or don’t want to use a zip-lock bag, you can put your steak in a small bowl and cover it with the marinade. You may need to turn the steak over as you let it marinate to make sure all sides are evenly coated. Put the zip-lock bag with your marinade and steak into the refrigerator for at least two hours to begin marinating. The acid in the vinegar will start eating into the meat, breaking it down and tenderizing it while adding more flavor. You can leave your steak in the marinade for longer to give it more flavor. However, if left too long, the acid will break down the steak too much and ruin the structure of it. Don’t leave the steak marinating for more than 6 hours.

This might include your personal beliefs, your worldview, and your experiences that directly inform your manifesto. By introducing yourself, your readers will have a better sense of your life course.  Make sure that you share life details related to your ideas. Relate important experiences from work, school, or life that help readers see you as an authority. Mentioning your degree in art might be useful in an artist's manifesto, just as civil service would be worth mentioning in a political manifesto. There should be some unifying point to your manifesto. This is delivered in your introduction. It will be a compelling argument, connecting all your ideas together. Make sure you take time to craft a well-written thesis statement. A precept is an actionable ideal, an instruction meant to regulate behavior or thought. Tell your readers a little about what ideals they're going to read about, before they go into it. You don't want to say everything, just a little bit, so that readers can engage with your manifesto's larger picture. Give yourself at least one sentence to mention the main points of your manifesto.  You can use bullet points to list your precepts. Follow a precept up with a sentence explanation if you need clarity, but save most of your explaining for the body paragraphs. If it isn't merely presenting the precept, don't put it in the introduction. Don't just provide your ideas. Offer a direction for change. Manifestos are revolutionary by nature. Though not all revolutions are equal in scale, all share in this desire for change.  Focus on verbs to evoke a sense of action. Avoid verbs like "am/is/are", "have/has" and other passive constructions. For example: "Every artist manifests Art itself," instead of "Every artist is Art itself." Use concrete details. Avoid words like "thing" and "something", as these are not specific. For example: "Something in our political system disturbs me" becomes "Negligence in our political system disturbs me."

Net worth is defined as your assets minus or liabilities (or what you own minus what you owe).This figure will give you a precise sense of your current financial position, and can help you make good decisions and achieve your goals. You can create a simple worksheet to calculate your net worth, or find a template online. Begin by creating two columns, one for assets, and one for liabilities. An asset simply refers to anything you own, and can include things like cash on hand, savings and checking accounts, retirement funds, real estate, personal property, investments, etc.  Next to every asset, list the value of the asset. For example, if you own a house, list its value. The same would apply things like a stock portfolio, or a car. Add together the values of your individual assets to find the total value of your assets. A liability refers to any debts you owe. This includes things such as a mortgage balance, credit card debt, student loans, car loans, personal loans, etc. Add together the amounts of your individual liabilities to find the total liabilities amount. This number is your net worth. If the number is negative, it indicates that you owe more than you have.Conversely, if you have $100,000 in assets, and $50,000 in debt, your net worth would be a positive $50,000. As you progress in your financial plan and save more, your assets should increase (along with more savings), and your liabilities will decrease (as you eliminate debt)

Pet ownership has health benefits, too, such as reducing your blood pressure and the risk of heart disease, increasing your feelings of well-being and connectedness, and teaching you lessons in empathy and nurturing.  For extra warm and fuzzy feelings, consider rescuing a pet from your local shelter. However, only get a pet if you know you can take care of it knowledgeably. Don't just keep an animal for your own benefit. Listening to music taps into your brain’s imagination and sense of self-identity, boosts your self-esteem, and lessens feelings of isolation. Listening to music feels empowering. Put on your favorite album – or that one you keep meaning to dive into, turn up the volume, and cut out all other distractions so that you can really experience the wonders of the music. In some cases, music has been shown to help people coping with dementia, giving them a greater sense of empowerment. Music therapy is also useful in people suffering from anxiety and depression. Your facial expression is traditionally thought of as a window into how you feel, but it's also thought that your facial expression can influence your mood. Therefore, be sure to smile freely, to ensure that your mood is upbeat. You might even want to greet yourself in the mirror with a smile first thing in the morning––that happy face may be just enough to keep that mood flowing all day long. A decent break doesn’t mean zoning out to the TV or going down the internet rabbit hole. It means setting some time aside and making it special. As a thank-you to yourself, give yourself a vacation or “staycation”, a change of scenery – even if it just means having a picnic in your backyard or building a fort with your kids in the living room. Taking a break that is different from the ordinary and lets you "hang loose" can do wonders for your sense of fun, escape, and fulfillment. It is well known that people with a wide circle of friends tend to live longer.Of course, birds of a...

TL;DR in English: Get a pet (optional). Develop an interest in music. Start the day with a smile. Take a break. Spend time with interesting people.

Depending on how you plan to use it, one or the other is likely a better fit for your needs.  You might prefer something that is portable like a walkie-talkie if you plan to use it at work, in the car, or away from a particular room or location. On the other hand, a tabletop model tends to have a higher quality, does not require batteries or charging, and can often hold more channels. There are more and less expensive ones, but the difference is not in quality of sound but rather in the amount of frequencies you are able to program. If you are a beginning hobbyist, you probably don’t need hundreds of channel, but even the basic models usually  have at least 200. But if you want to upgrade to a better model, a more expensive type is likely to hold more channels and frequencies. Actually, it matters more. The size and placement of your antenna will determine the range of frequencies and their clarity. To upgrade an existing scanner, consider purchasing a longer or larger antenna or placing it higher. This can help you receive a clearer signal. There are many websites online where you can check out purchasing guides based on the specifications of various scanner manufacturers and models, so take advantage of these great resources as you make your selection:  Check out www.advancedspecialties.net/scannercomp.htm, which has charts that compare the most popular manufacturers. For even more detailed charts, check out www.wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Digital_Scanner_Comparison_Chart.

TL;DR in English: Choose a tabletop or handheld. Know that most scanner models are similar. Know that the antenna matters as much as the model. Let the hobbyists do the work for you.

Pick something mild to start.  Eventually the colder temperatures may find a way through your tooth's enamel down to the dentin, cause some pain, and magnify the teeth sensitivity.  Try some ice cream as a starting point to see if the temperature affects you. Chomp a popsicle, something dense enough for a hard bite, for a great next step. Consider something harder, like ice chips, a texture that will definitely be cold long enough to test for issues. Hot foods cause tooth pain because they heat the gasses produced by bacteria in the teeth.  When heated, gasses expand and create pressure, causing internal tooth pain. The sugars in the drinks contact the dentin and the result is a fluid loss in the tooth, a consequential pressure change, and then a sharp pain.    The same painful osmosis process can be caused by juicy, acidic fruits. You could also try chocolate, which can melt between your teeth and stimulate nerves inside your dentin. If you wince when breathing in sharply, your problem could be sensitive teeth.  The air, particularly through pursed lips, is colder and might be shooting through the microscopic tubes in the dentin in your teeth. Gently.  When teeth hit sharply against one another, it's possible to feel anything from a mild twinge to agony all the way into the nerve endings because of either direct contact with exposed dentin or forceful vibrations.  You do not want to crack or chip your teeth, but when teeth normally collide in the mouth there could be some pain if dentin is exposed. A similar type of pain may appear when a wisdom tooth starts growing and generates force throughout the bone, all the way up to the front teeth.

TL;DR in English:


Take and pass your contractor’s certification exam. File the necessary business documents. Acquire liability insurance. Purchase surety bonds. Receive for your contractor’s license. Register your business.

This is optional, but as we talk about colors, is an important suggestion to offer. Bleaching the hair provides a clean slate for colors and dyes to show up in their brightest hues possible. This should of course be done by a professional if possible to decrease likelihood of hair damage. This is a two-step process consisting of: 1) which colors you want your hair to be and 2) what hair sections you want as these colors. Bright, edgy colors typically associated with scene hair include pink, blue, and purple. This gives room for mistakes and allows you to learn what colors you like for your cut and style. It is also less harsh on your hair than permanent dyes so it promotes less damage to your hair. Once you’ve decided on something permanent, go to a colorist to achieve a more permanent version of your look in the least damaging way possible.  You can have the entirety of your hair one color, have the lower section a different color than the upper section, or you can have single strand highlights. Get creative! Popular scene hair colors for the main section of your hair include bleach blonde and dark brown/black but whatever color you like best is fine. You can also keep your entire hair your natural color if that is more to your liking. Natural-colored hair dyes can easily be purchased at grocery stores, while other colors may require you to go to specialty shops. You can always have your hair colored at a salon as well. Follow the movement of your layers to act as a guide to applying the dye. If you’re at home and using packaged dye, follow the instructions and timing correctly to ensure your best color result.  Apply petroleum jelly on your hairline, around your ears, and at the base of your neck to keep dye off of your skin. Wear protective gloves to further prevent staining your skin. Prevent staining by using a towel over your shoulders. Do not wash your hair the day of dyeing your hair, to help your scalp keep its oils and its moisture. Use a water bottle to dampen your hair and promote even coloring.

TL;DR in English: Bleach your hair. Decide on the colors for your hair. Start with temporary hair colors. Use small clips to section off hair.

You will need to balance the potential financial benefits of home ownership with the other factors of your life. A home can be a welcome haven to recharge your batteries or an anchor that locks you down and limits your options. Owning a home is more restrictive than leasing or renting a place to live. Selling a home might take months, or years, of effort to get the price you want. On the other hand, renters can pack up and move across town, the country, or the world fairly quickly by settling the terms of their lease agreement.  Have you considered the possibility that you or your spouse may be transferred to a new location within the next few years? Many experts suggest that if you don’t plan to stay in house for at least three years, buying a home makes no sense. Does your lifestyle conflict with the requirements of owning a home such as weekly lawn care, seasonal cleaning of gutters, or installing shutters? While most of the work of homeownership can be delegated to others for a price, that simply adds onto the on-going cost. Consider the likelihood that your marital, health, or career status may change within the next few years. How will owning a house affect your options to adjust? Thousands and thousands of homeowners have learned to their dismay that the prices of homes, like other assets, can drop in value, leaving the owners with mortgages greater than the value of the property. Foreclosures exploded across the country after 2009 and abandoned homes have driven down the value of surrounding properties. Keeping up with the Jones' is an ever-present danger in most neighborhoods and few are able to resist the competition. The larger the home, the more space to fill up and the greater pressure to buy things. The hand-me-down furniture with your frat-house bookcases looked great in an apartment, but not as good when compared to the neighbor’s furnishings. The combination of empty space and spending time in neighbor's wonderful homes can ruin many a carefully planned budget. If you do buy a house, keep...

TL;DR in English: Decide whether you are ready to settle down in one place. Understand that a house will not necessarily increase in value. Recognize the social pressure of home ownership.

Attach the yarn to your hook using a slip knot, then work a foundation of chain stitches in multiples of 10.  In other words, the foundation chain can consist of 10 chains, 20 chains, 30 chains, 40 chains, 50 chains, etc. The length of your foundation chain will be the final length of your project. At the end of your foundation chain, work two more chain stitches to serve as a turning chain for your next row. Half double crochet once into the second chain from your hook. When counting chains, do not count the loop currently on your hook. To create the first shell of your first official row, you will need to work a series of treble crochets and half double crochets.  Skip four chains in your foundation. Work nine treble crochets into the fifth chain. Skip another four chains in your foundation. Half double crochet once into the next chain. Repeat the previous step across the full length of your foundation, stopping only once you reach the end of the row.  This completes the first official row. If desired, you can change yarn colors after the end of your first row. Doing so is not necessary, though. Chain three, then work one treble crochet into the front posts of each of the next four stitches. Keep the last loop of each treble crochet on the hook.  After the last treble crochet, yarn over the hook and pull the yarn-over through all the loops on the hook. Chain four again. Work one half double crochet into the next stitch in the previous row. Work a series of treble clusters, chains, and half double crochets across the entire second row, stopping before you work the last five stitches. For each group:  Chain four. Work a front post treble crochet into each of the next four stitches, leaving the last loop on the hook after each one. Half double crochet once, then work another four treble crochets across the next four stitches. Leave the last loop on the hook after each stitch, then yarn over and pull it through the all the loops on your hook after the final stitch. This counts as a nine-stitch shell cluster....

TL;DR in English: Work a foundation chain. Half double crochet at the start of the next row. Create the first shell. Work additional shells across the row. Front post treble crochet at the start of the next row. Create treble clusters along the entire row. Work a partial cluster at the end of the row. Work treble clusters and half double crochets across the third row. Create nine-stitch cluster shells across the fourth row. Connect the shells across the fifth row. Repeat as needed. Fasten off.

Like the licensing requirements, the content and format of the exam will vary depending on your location. However, the test will almost always include a comprehensive written section, on top of which you may be asked to describe or demonstrate key skills. Upon passing your exam, you’ll have between 1 and 4 years to complete the process of formally registering your business.  You can download a copy of the exam application from the Contractors State License Board website. To help you prep for the exam, test administrators recommend that you brush up on resources like the International Building Code, OSHA's 29. CFR 1926 manual and various textbooks geared toward painting and decorating craftsmen. For starters, you’ll need a general business license to begin taking on contract work. You may also have to have other specific licenses that permit you to operate in off-limits zones or handle certain materials. A separate home business permit will be required if you plan on using your own residence as the headquarters for your contracting business.  Business licenses are filed with the state or district that the work is to be performed in. As a result, they’ll only be recognized in those places.  The person with the contractor's license is known as the Responsible Managing Individual (RMI). You will need to name yourself as the RMI in your application documents. In the event of accident, injury or property damage, liability insurance will protect you from having your assets seized. Look into a few different providers to compare rates and see what sort of coverage they offer. Good insurance is absolutely critical for small business owners, who stand to lose a lot more should something go wrong.  The total monthly cost of insurance shouldn’t be more than a few hundred dollars.  In addition to general liability insurance, it might also be a good idea to have some form of completed operations or contract liability insurance in the event that there's a dispute over a finished project. Shop around until you find a policy...

Wash with lukewarm water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Wipe gently using your bare hands only until your skin is free of excessive oil. Pat dry with a towel instead of rubbing.  Despite popular belief, acne is not caused by dirt. Scrubbing hard, using hot water, or washing more than twice a day can make your acne worse by irritating your skin. Wash again if you gets uncomfortably sweaty. Sweat may make acne worse. . Many people touch their face without thinking, which can trigger a breakout. Try to keep your hands at your side.  If you have oily hair, wash and condition frequently, and keep it out of your face. The physical irritation of your skin causes the breakout, not bacteria from your fingers. Keeping your hands clean won't solve the problem. Some makeup products help prevent acne, and others encourage it. Because skin is particularly susceptible during pregnancy, cosmetic products that did not bother you before can cause acne now. Stick to makeup labeled "non-comedogenic." This is less likely to clog pores. You may want to talk to your doctor about safe cosmetic use during pregnancy. In the United States, the FDA takes pregnancy into consideration when evaluating cosmetics. Not all countries have this level of protection. Although people often blame acne on diet, the connection is shaky. A healthy diet for you and your baby is much more important than an "acne diet" that might not even work. Notably, some anti-acne diets cut fat (with only slight evidence). This is a bad idea while pregnant. Aim to get roughly 25–35 percent of your calories from fat. Oral zinc supplements seem to help acne, even though zinc lotions probably do not. 15 mg of zinc per day (including from food) is recommended during pregnancy, and may even slightly reduce the risk of complications. Stop taking zinc supplements once you start breastfeeding. These are generally not as effective as medication, but the examples here have no risk of harming the baby. These come in two types:  To exfoliate clogged...

TL;DR in English: Wash the affected area gently. Stop touching your face Reevaluate your makeup. Learn about acne and diet. Take zinc supplements. Make natural skin treatments. Be careful with essential oils.

Assume that you’re considering ideas to start an online business for the first time. You use the same process as you would to assess an existing product. You’re taking more risk because the sales performance of the product is completely unknown.  Find tools to research your potential market. You may choose to examine existing businesses that offer a similar service. What are their clients like? What are they willing to pay for this type of service? How crowded is the market? For your identification service, you might choose to examine the type of people who comment on watch forums and other watch websites. Assess their needs and really consider if there is enough of a market for your services to make starting a business worth it. In order to plan for your business, you'll need to assess how much you will need in startup money. This will vary widely between business types, with some requiring almost zero startup money, and others requiring many thousands of dollars. Start by looking at equipment or inventory you currently have. Then, figure out what you need. Think about inventory, production equipment, website building expenses, and any other costs that you can expect in your first months of operation. Locate these items used or at a discount if you can and then record the prices to determine your startup capital needs. . Financial projections can be difficult to project, especially if you haven't yet begun operations. However, do your research by searching for sales data relevant to your industry online. Check with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to find this data and other important information. Then, use this data to estimate your sales volume over your first three years. Your projections don't have to be perfect, but they need to be reasonable and backed by concrete numbers. Subtract your projected startup costs and cost of goods sold during this time to estimate your profitability. Unless you have startup and working capital in a savings account, you will need a source of capital to get your...

Both the plug and coil wires are located at the rear of almost all V8 engines. Four-cylinder engines have them placed on the right side, near the center of the engine. Six-cylinder engines are on the opposite: left side, near the center of the engine. Run a jump cable from the positive battery terminal to either the positive side of the coil, or the red wire that leads to the coil. This will give power to the dashboard, which is essential if you want to start the engine. On Ford cars, it is on the right-side fender well, near the battery. On GM cars, it is on the starter under the steering wheel. Place a flat blade screwdriver in the top center of the steering column, pushing between the wheel and the column. You want to push the locking pin away from the wheel. Don't worry, you're allowed to be rough here. The locking pin will not break or set off any alarms and you should be able to find the solenoid should be underneath. You will see a small wire at the top of the solenoid and the positive battery cable below. Remove the ignition switch wire from the solenoid and, using an insulated screwdriver, short the solenoid's positive post to the terminal where the ignition switch connects. Doing so will apply 12 volts directly from the battery. This should activate the solenoid, and the starter should crank the car.

Pre-assessment is not a required step in the certification process. However, a preliminary review will give the certification body a chance to pinpoint any obvious errors or omissions in your documentation. Clearing up these issues before the formal audit will help you focus your quality system and improve your chances of successfully meeting ISO certification standards.  If you opt to go through with a pre-assessment, you’ll need to provide your chosen certification body with a complete, up-to-date copy of your Quality Management System paperwork. Be aware that the pre-assessment period may add 2-4 weeks to the certification process. On the opening date of your inspection, your registrar will sit down with key company personnel to introduce themselves and briefly discuss the proceedings. They’ll then turn their attention to inspecting your company’s operations and making sure they adhere to the standards detailed in your Quality Management System. Be prepared to offer your assistance any way you can.   You or your employees may be separately interviewed or called upon to explain details of policies and procedures that are central to your operations.  The actual audit is an ongoing process that may take anywhere from days to weeks. The exact length will depend on the complexity of your Quality Management System and the size and organizational structure of your company. Following the audit, the certifying body will send out a detailed audit report by mail. The report will summarize the registrar’s findings throughout the audit and bring to your attention any areas where your company’s practices don’t match the standards listed in your Quality Management System (referred to as “non conformities.”) The registrar may cite two different types of issues—Minor Non-conformities and Major Nonconformities. Make sure your project supervisor, internal auditor, and all other key employees are present when you go over the findings of your audit report. This is a brief document explaining the nature of the issue and...

TL;DR in English: Submit your Quality Management System documentation for pre-assessment. Pass the external audit. Review your full audit report. Submit a plan of corrective action for resolving Minor Nonconformities. Tighten up your operations to deal with Major Nonconformities. Await your ISO certification.

Find the cable that Comcast installed—it will usually be sticking out of the floor or the wall behind your TV—and plug it into the metal coaxial input in the back of the cable box, then screw the connector clockwise to tighten it.  The cable's end has an attachment resembling a needle in the middle of it. Your cable box should have a coaxial cable included. If Comcast didn't install a cable for you, you can attach the other end of this cable to the coaxial input in the wall. It goes in the wide, narrow port in the back of the cable box. On most Comcast cable boxes, the HDMI port is either in the bottom-right corner of the box or at the bottom of the box's back. If you're using A/V cables instead, plug each cable into the same-colored port on the back of the box (e.g., plug the yellow cable into the yellow input). Find your preferred HDMI port on your TV, then attach the cable box to the port in question.  If you have a receiver with multiple HDMI ports plugged into your TV, you can plug your cable box's HDMI cable into the receiver instead. If you're using A/V cables instead, plug the cables into the same-colored ports on the back of your TV. Plug the power cable into a wall outlet or power strip. You should choose a power outlet close enough to the TV that you'll be able to place the box near the TV without stretching or bending any wires. You should see a circular power input on the back of the cable box; fit the end of the power cable into this input. This input is normally on the right-hand side of the box. Doing so will also turn on your Comcast cable box, though you may have to wait several minutes before the box is fully on. Press the "Input" or "Source" button on your TV or remote to switch to the input (e.g., HDMI 1) into which you plugged your Comcast box.
