Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon sheet.  Keep in a single layer; don't overlap. Dip a pastry brush into the bowl and brush both sides of each baguette slice. You'll need to keep re-dipping in the olive oil. This step is optional but if liked, you can sprinkle the top of each piece with salt and pepper or perhaps with a spice such as paprika or sumac. Bake for 5-6 minutes, then remove and turn over the slices. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-6 minutes or until golden. Place on a cooling rack to cool completely. If storing, keep in an airtight container. These will keep for weeks if the container remains airtight.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF. Slice the baguette into slices about 5-7mm in thickness. Arrange the slices on a baking tray. Pour the olive oil into a small bowl. Season to taste. Place the baking sheet into the oven. Remove from the oven. Serve when cool.

Plug in a clothes iron and turn it on to the lowest setting. You won’t need a “steam” function for this. Alternatively, you could use a hair straightener on the lowest setting. Choose a large piece of parchment paper, about 1 foot (0.30 m) long. Fold the paper in half before placing it on the ironing board. If you don’t have an ironing board, cover a flat surface with an old blanket. Don’t substitute wax paper for parchment paper as the kief will stick to the wax. Carefully sprinkle kief on the bottom layer of parchment paper. Keep it toward the fold rather than the edge, and make sure it’s no more than 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) thick. Fold the top half of the parchment paper over the kief. Use a T-shirt, a thin towel, or damp newspaper as your buffer and put it on top of the parchment paper. This will keep the parchment paper and kief from burning. Swipe your iron, set on low, over the buffer about 20 times, applying heat for no more than 3 seconds at a time. Flip the parchment paper over carefully every 5 swipes, placing the buffer back between the parchment paper and iron. The hash is done when it is compact and no longer sticky. You can smoke it in your preferred manner, or use it in tea or as a food seasoning.

TL;DR in English: Heat an iron to the lowest setting. Place folded parchment paper on an ironing board. Spread 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) of kief between the folded parchment paper. Place a buffer over the paper. Iron in 3-second intervals, flipping the parchment paper frequently.

Banana is one of the most popular choices for egg replacements in sweet recipes like muffins, breads, and cake. Use 1/2 banana to yield 1/4 cup (30 g) of puree. The banana will alter the taste of your baked goods, so make sure you like banana-flavored muffins, breads, etc. before you add it to your recipe. Otherwise, look for something with a milder taste. Applesauce works great with recipes like brownies and chocolate cake because the chocolate hides the flavor of the applesauce. Use 1/3 cup (43 g) of puree to replace 1 egg. Applesauce and other fruit purees will add heaviness and density, so if you want something lighter, use 1/4 cup (30 g) of puree with 1 Tsp baking powder for a lighter, fluffier product. Pumpkin can also leave a distinct flavor in baked goods, so it's best to incorporate it in a recipe that works well with pumpkin. Bread, muffins, and spice cakes will all benefit from the moisture, binding properties, and taste of pumpkin. Make sure the pumpkin is pureed so that it is smooth and won't make lumps in your baked goods. Substitute 1 egg with 1 Tbsp. vinegar plus 1 Tsp. baking soda whisked together. Baking soda will give your baked goods a warm, golden brown color. Baking soda will react with acids in your recipe (like vinegar, buttermilk, cream of tartar) and release carbon dioxide, causing your baked goods to rise. Substitute 1 egg with 2 Tbsp. water plus 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil plus 1 Tsp. baking powder. Whisk them together thoroughly. Using baking powder will result in a lighter, fluffier product. Mix 1 Tbsp agar powder in 1 Tbsp water. Whip the mixture, then let it chill in the fridge. Whip it again and it will be ready to use.  This is equivalent to 1 egg white, so increase as necessary for the recipe.  Agar powder is also known as agar-agar, Kanten, Japanese isinglass, or Ceylon moss. Agar is vegan and can also be used to replace gelatin. This isn't exactly the healthiest egg alternative, but it will leaven your cake and can add an interesting flavor! A can of soda (12 ounces) is...

TL;DR in English: Replace 1 egg with 1/4 cup (30 g) of banana puree to add moisture. Use applesauce to add moisture, density, and sweetness. Try 1/3 cup (43 g) of pumpkin to replace 1 egg in muffins and breads. Make use of baking soda and vinegar to help your recipe rise. Try baking powder and vegetable oil to help baked goods rise. Substitute egg whites with agar powder. Replace 3 eggs in boxed cake mixes with 1 can of soda. Use finely ground flax and chia seeds to add a nutty flavor. Avoid powders entirely, if you don't like powders at all.

The Arnold Palmer is typically served in a Collin's glass, but any type of tall glass will do. For a colder drink, fill it 2/3 of the way with ice. For a traditional Arnold Palmer, fill it only ¼ of the way with lemonade. For a sweeter Arnold Palmer, fill it ½ of the way with lemonade. Arnold Palmer has been said to prefer his drink to be 70 percent iced tea, and 30 percent lemonade. Do not stir the two liquids together. The layering is part of the presentation. Who ever is drinking the Arnold Palmer can do the stirring him or herself, if they so desire. For a more girlish drink, use a maraschino cherry instead.

TL;DR in English: Get a tall, narrow glass. Fill the glass half-way with ice. Fill the glass partway with lemonade. Fill the rest of the glass with the tea. Garnish with a few mint leaves or a lemon wedge, if desired. Serve.

Remember that the quality of work you put into an hour is more important than the number of hours you put into the work. The quality AND quantity of your work matter. Sometimes working for a long time on something gives you the illusion that you are getting a lot done when really you haven’t had a productive hour. Be open and honest with yourself about the quality of your work. If you need help, ask for it. Other people might be able to give you better tips on how to do something efficiently and effectively. Working smarter means taking small breaks while you work and also making a point to schedule relaxing activities into your day. This improves your creativity and productivity and lowers your stress levels.  One popular study recommends working for 52 minutes and taking a 17-minute break to improve your productivity.  Make it a point to do things that you find relaxing, such as yoga, meditation, painting or reading. Experiment with different activities to see which best suits you. What is relaxing to you may not be relaxing to someone else. It’s always smart to save money for the future now. Set aside an amount that you will save every month. Make a list of special circumstances or emergencies under which you will use this money. If you are still studying, consider getting a part-time job. This will teach you the value of money and time, and instill responsibility and discipline in you. Be kind to people now. Build a network of people you can rely on for advice and support in the future. This includes your friends, people you work with who are higher in the command chain than you are, your peers and your mentors and teachers. Look to those with more experience than you for advice on how to work towards the future you dream of. Even if your idea is something that they don’t have personal experience of, they can still give you solid advice that applies to you.

If you already have a bachelor’s degree, you can complete additional requirements to obtain a teaching certification.  Check to make sure your degree is recognized by the Texas High Education Coordinating Board. This board requires that the institution you attended is accredited by the U.S. Department of Education. Make sure the programs that appeal to you offer the appropriate training. In particular, decide which grades and types of courses you’d like to teach.  These decisions will likely affect which certificate you need, and which program you should enroll in. If you intend to teach trade courses like welding or computer-aided drafting (CAD), you may not need a college degree. Look into securing specific certification necessary to teach these trade courses. Various institutions – including universities, community colleges, and even school districts – can prepare college graduates to earn their teaching certification.  These alternative certification programs are approved by the state of Texas.  Reach out to the nearest Texas Regional Education Service Center Headquarters for assistance finding a program that will work for you. These service centers even host alternative certification programs themselves! Ensure you meet the eligibility requirements by consulting the program’s administrators before you apply.  Usually, these requirements will include some minimum skills, a minimum GPA from your undergraduate studies, and a demonstration that you are familiar with the content you hope to teach.  Some requirements are state mandated and some are chosen by the programs. Reach out to a program’s administrators if you’re curious about how strict certain requirements may be. Meet with program staff to help you determine the specific course of your training.  This will include some sort of teaching experience in an internship-like context, tests, and other requirements.  Ensure that you’re prepared for a teaching internship by taking the necessary courses and tests to qualify for an internship first.  Usually,...

Keep your head upright, then look forward. Pull in your chin and glide your head backwards in a straight line. Once you’ve moved your head back, hold it in place for 5 seconds. Repeat this stretch 5 times throughout the day to get the full effect. Do these stretches on a daily basis and see if you notice a difference! Set out a yoga mat or find another comfortable surface to use. Lay on your back with both feet planted on the floor and knees bent and pointing upwards. Engage your core and glute muscles, then lift your hips off the ground. Inhale and exhale 3 times before lowering your hips and bottom back to the ground.  Try to do 5 reps of this each day. As you feel more comfortable with the exercise, add a few more reps to your routine each day. When you lift your hips, you should create a diagonal line from your shoulders to the top of your knees. Talk to a healthcare professional about creating a workout plan, or develop an exercise plan on your own. Opt for exercise that gets your heart pumping, like going for a run or jumping rope. Ideally, aim to exercise around 150 minutes each week, or follow your doctor’s specific recommendations. Find a comfortable surface to exercise on, then lay on your stomach.

It’s fine to have your bicep measured in a t-shirt or other thin material that won’t add to the measured circumference of your bicep. If you wear a heavy-weight fabric, it will distort the measurement. If you’re measuring in an informal setting with a friend, you could take off your shirt altogether. This would be too informal for a tailor shop or a department store, though. When having your bicep measured, your arms should be completely relaxed and hanging loose by your sides. Keep your upper body as relaxed as possible while being measured. If the tailor requests, you may need to extend your arm out to the side so that they can fit the tape measure around them. Return your arm to your side once the tape measure is around it, though. To ensure that your shirt fits properly, the bicep measurement should be taken around the thickest part of your bicep. This point will probably be high up on your arm, only about 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the armpit. Use a soft tailor tape measure to take the measurement. This is where any tailor will measure your bicep. If you’re being measured by a friend who hasn’t measured someone’s arm before, make sure to specify where your bicep should be measured. You may be tempted to flex your bicep in order to make it appear as though you have a large-circumference arm. Resist this temptation, though—while flexing may be appropriate in some settings, it will distort the bicep measurement for your shirt. If you do flex while the measurement is being taken, you’ll end up with a shirt with awkwardly roomy, baggy sleeves.

TL;DR in English: Wear a light shirt. Stand with your arms hanging by your sides. Measure the bicep at the fullest point. Do not flex your bicep.

If you're using a graphical user interface (GUI), you can usually do this by clicking the terminal icon or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. After typing that command at the prompt, press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return to run it. After verifying your root password, the package manager will update to include the latest software sources. If you already know the exact name of the package you want to install, skip to the next step. Otherwise, run apt-cache search softwareName (with softwareName being the name of your software) at the prompt.  This can sometimes print out a lot of options, of which many are irrelevant. Be patient and read the description of every package to determine which one you want to install. If you're unsure, you can also use apt show packageName, with packageName being the name of any listed package, to get a longer description of what the package is. If you're unsure what your software is called, you might try searching for a word that describes what the package does. For example, typing apt-cache search paint will print the package names of many painting programs, including GIMP and Krita. Replace packageName with the actual package name. For example, if you want to install the package dillo (that's a web browser), you would type sudo apt-get install dillo.  If additional dependencies are required for the package to install, follow the on-screen instructions to choose whether to install them now. To remove an installed package, use sudo apt-get remove packageName.

Have a plan in place to get your brand name in as many stores and in front of as many people as possible. Depending on the product or service you’re offering, you might want to consider taking out ads online, in newspapers, in magazines, and wherever you might find new customers.  Apply your branding, including your visual brand and brand messages, to all of your materials—from packaging, signage, and stationery, to your website and marketing materials. Don’t be shy about boldly branding your products and displaying them in as many venues as possible. You want your brand to be everywhere people look. Advertise your brand in unexpected places. Radio advertisements, employee uniforms, and freebies with logos (such as tissues or pens) are all relatively inexpensive ways to promote your brand. See if you can get publicity from a local newspaper, TV station or blog who will review your product or service. Social media is one of the best ways to build a brand these days. Get basic social media accounts and update them regularly with pictures, deals, and other information about your company. Find things that are related and appeal to your customers and give them the chance to interact.  For example, if you're a travel company, post a picture of a beautiful location with a message something like: "Counting down the weeks to summer vacation and some time to unwind! Where do you want to travel this year?" Do not become spam. Avoid constantly pushing your brand in an annoying way or without context or to people that have no interest. Stay out of your customer's recycle bins. Be real and conversational, not a metaphorical sleazy car salesman. This is the age of the Internet and social media, so having a website is central to building a brand. It's fine to base your business in the flesh and traditional media, but if you don't at least have a website, you'll be seen as old-fashioned and inaccessible. Hire a professional or use a template and get a nice looking website. This should, at a minimum, discuss what your brand is...

Chicken wire works fine as long as the mesh is 1 inch (2.5 cm) or less. Bury the bottom of the fence 3 to 6 inches (8 to 15 cm) into the ground to prevent rabbits from digging under it. Extend it at least three feet (one meter) above ground. Be sure to install flashing along the bottom of gates to ensure rabbits can't squeeze underneath to gain access to the garden. Fencing and chicken wire can be purchased at hardware stores, usually in a wide variety of styles and colors to compliment the décor of your yard.  Consult a landscape designer to see if they have any suggestions as to fencing that can be effective at protecting your garden as well as aesthetically pleasing. Automatic, motion-activated sprinklers condition rabbits to stay out of the area by spraying them with water every time they move into the sensor's range. Some of these sprinklers not only spray a burst of water to deter rabbits, but also emit a sound that is annoying to rabbits. This option is also environmentally friendly and humane because it does not use any chemicals—only water and sound. These sprinkler systems are available in hardware stores and online and they are fairly easy to set up, generally staking into the ground much like a standard sprinkler used for watering your lawn.  Many different brands and styles of motion-sensitive sprinklers are available. Consider the path of the water as you set up the sprinkler so as not to overwater or damage your plants. Many different repellents may be available, but no repellent will work on all rabbits, so you may have to try several before finding one that works for you. Remember that some repellents may have to be applied more than once per season. Some repellents include:  Blood or bone meal fertilizer. Blood or bone meal fertilizer repels rabbits because they are natural herbivores, and, as an added bonus, these fertilizers are great for your garden.  Chemical repellents. Some chemical repellents like ammonium soaps can help deter rabbits, but they may not be safe for the more delicate...

TL;DR in English: Fence your garden to keep the rabbits out. Install automatic, motion-activated sprinklers. Use commercially available repellents. Use household repellents.

”   When applying for a mortgage, some lenders may offer to pre-qualify or pre-approve you for a mortgage.  It’s important that you understand the distinction between the two and what they mean for your chances of purchasing a home.  Pre-qualification can help you understand how much you can afford and can serve as an aid when choosing which houses to consider. Ultimately, however, pre-qualification adds little else to the process.  Being pre-approved, on the other hand, can demonstrate to all concerned that you are serious about purchasing a home and add weight to your offer.   Being pre-qualified means a lender discussed your financial situation, credit and income and determined that you are qualified for a mortgage level indicated in the letter of qualification. Being pre-approved means the lender actually examined your credit and confirmed your financial information.  A pre-approval is the more significant of the two steps, because it is supported by documented evidence. Being pre-qualified is no guarantee that you will be approved for a mortgage.  Being pre-approved is also not a guarantee but is generally seen as indicating a high likelihood that the applicant will be approved. There are a number of possible fees associated with mortgage lending, so it’s important that you discuss them with a lender before applying for a mortgage.  Be sure you have a thorough understanding of the fees and additional expenses you will be expected to cover as a part of the mortgage process with each lender.   Ask for a written estimate of your costs that includes a breakdown of all associated expenses and fees. Ask questions about any fees that you don’t completely understand.  It is your money. Don’t be shy about asking. Lenders may also charge "points" on your mortgage. A point is equal to 1 percent of the mortgage loan amount. In contrast, "discount" points might be offered, which is an opportunity to reduce the interest paid on the loan by prepaying it in the form of points. A lender might charge "origination fee...

TL;DR in English: Learn the difference between “pre-qualified” and “pre-approved. Identify additional fees and prepayment penalties. Negotiate where you can. Analyze lenders' posted offerings. Select a lender.

Solving the cube root of a number is going to look like solving a long division problem, with a few special differences. The first step is to set up the problem in the proper format.  Write down the number whose cube root you want to find. Write the digits in groups of three, using the decimal point as your starting place. For this example, you will find the cube root of 10. Write this as 10. 000 000. The extra 0s are to allow precision in the solution. Draw a cube root radical sign over the number. This serves the same purpose as the long division bar line. The only difference is the shape of the symbol. Place a decimal point above the bar line, directly above the decimal point in the original number. You will use these in the computations. These cubes are as follows:  13=1∗1∗1=1{\displaystyle 1^{3}=1*1*1=1} 23=2∗2∗2=8{\displaystyle 2^{3}=2*2*2=8} 33=3∗3∗3=27{\displaystyle 3^{3}=3*3*3=27} 43=4∗4∗4=64{\displaystyle 4^{3}=4*4*4=64} 53=5∗5∗5=125{\displaystyle 5^{3}=5*5*5=125} 63=6∗6∗6=216{\displaystyle 6^{3}=6*6*6=216} 73=7∗7∗7=343{\displaystyle 7^{3}=7*7*7=343} 83=8∗8∗8=512{\displaystyle 8^{3}=8*8*8=512} 93=9∗9∗9=729{\displaystyle 9^{3}=9*9*9=729} 103=10∗10∗10=1000{\displaystyle 10^{3}=10*10*10=1000} Select a number that, when cubed, gives the largest possible result less than the first set of three numbers.  In this example, the first set of three numbers is 10. Find the largest perfect cube that is less than 10. That number is 8, and its cube root is 2. Write the number 2 above the radical bar line, over the number 10. Write the value of 23{\displaystyle 2^{3}}, which is 8, underneath the number 10, draw a line and subtract, just as you would in long division. The result is a 2. After the subtraction, you have the first digit of your solution. You need to decide if this one digit is a precise enough result. In most cases, it will not be. You can check by cubing the single digit and decide if that is close enough to the result you wanted. Here, because 23{\displaystyle 2^{3}} is only 8, not very close to 10,...

Before you decide how to treat your nails, you'll want to take a closer look to determine in what ways they were damaged. Examine the nails shapes to see if they are distorted. Look at the coloring of the nails, as a green or yellow shade could indicate infection. Feel the surface of the nails to see if you can detect any surface bumps or ridges.  Once you make a detailed note of your nails' appearance, then it will make it easier to track improvement and healing over time. If your nails have a green or yellow coloring, you may have a nail fungus. Talk to your doctor about possible treatments. Small, white patches on your nail may be from a keratin build-up or they may signal a nutritional deficiency of a vitamin or mineral, like zinc or magnesium. Your doctor can diagnose whether it is a deficiency or not by doing a full-blood count. If your nail is split open or cut, then wash the area carefully under water with soap. Sanitize it with an alcohol wipe. Apply a bit of antibiotic cream or gel to the nail bed. If the cut is large, cover it with a band aid. If the injury is minor, let it air out and keep it clean. If you have been diagnosed with a fungal infection, take steps to make sure that it does not spread. Fungal infections can spread from your fingernails to your toenails, your eyes, and to other people.  Wear gloves to prevent contaminating others. Avoid cooking or serving food to other people during this time. Keep your hands clean, and treat any broken skin around the nail. Apply anti-fungal cream as directed by your doctor. If you've cut deep into the nail bed and the bleeding won't stop or if a large part of the nail has separated from the skin, then consider getting medical attention sooner rather than later. A doctor can treat the immediate injury, while making it less likely that you will get a secondary infection. Sometimes a nail injury is actually a sign that the finger has been fractured. Unless the finger is visibly damaged, an x-ray or MRI will be ordered.

TL;DR in English: Assess the extent of injury. Treat any wounds. Avoid spreading fungal infections. Get emergency help.

This should all be done while keeping your gun pointed at your target. Psychologically, lowering your gun gives your intended target an advantage over you and keeps you focused on your gun rather than on your target. The technique is as follows: when the slide locks back, you want to grab another magazine (likely from a magazine pouch). As you move the fresh magazine toward the gun, eject the empty magazine letting it hit the ground (they should essentially pass each other during the drill). Place the rear of the magazine against the rear of the magazine well of the gun, align the two, and with some force (though there should be little resistance) seat the magazine using the heel of your palm; then depress the slide release. You know you have spent some rounds from the current magazine and want to prepare for whatever may come next.  This drill can be done at the ready, since it should be done from behind cover and the other shooter (target) may be visible, but not an immediate threat. Reach to your magazine pouch (or other magazine holder — a pocket perhaps — and grab a magazine with your thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Move back to the gun and eject the partially depleted magazine into your hand, grabbing the ejected magazine with your ring finger, pinkie, and the palm of your hand. Insert the fresh magazine into the gun and tug on it slightly to make sure that it is seated in the magazine well correctly.  (This is especially important when loading a magazine that is topped off.)  This reload doesn't require manipulation of the slide release. This reload should be executed before you re-holster your pistol so if you need to draw again you are fully prepared. The slide has two separate actions every time a round is fired; after the last round is fired you will only feel the first action, ultimately there is less muzzle flip. The quicker you are able to reload the magazine, the better. After this, you execute an emergency reload.

TL;DR in English: You should be able to load your gun quickly 100% of the time — without looking at your pistol, your hands, or your magazines. Emergency reload is the reload in which you have spent all the rounds from your magazine and your slide is locked back. Tactical reload is the reload in which you encounter a lull in the gunfight and are able to place yourself behind cover. You should be practiced enough that when you are shooting (no matter how many rounds are in the magazine), you should be able to feel when the handgun is empty.

Bottled or tap water will work. The exact amount of water you should pour in will vary depending on the size of the bong you’re using. Fill up the bong so the water comes no more than 1 inch (2.54 cm) above the tip of the downstem (the long tube of glass that sticks into the bong). Any more water than that and you could get splashed while you’re smoking. When you’re filling the bong with water, pour the water directly into the mouthpiece (the open part at the top of the bong). Use your fingers, a pair of scissors, or a grinder. Make sure it’s ground up finely. Break off a couple of larger pieces, about 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) long and wide, to pack at the bottom of the bong bowl. If you're using a grinder, take the lid off and place 2 or 3 buds of cannabis in between the grinder's teeth. Close the lid and twist the lid back and forth to grind up the cannabis inside. The bowl is the funnel-shaped piece that sits in the outside portion of the downstem. Take the large pieces of cannabis you set aside and pack them in the bowl first; these pieces will prevent the finely ground cannabis from getting sucked through the bowl as you're smoking. Then, pinch some of the ground cannabis between your fingers and drop it into the bowl.  Don’t pack the cannabis too tightly or air won’t be able to pass through it. If the cannabis looks pressed down or compacted in the bowl, use something small and thin like a paper clip to stir it up and loosen it. If you're smoking alone, don't pack the bowl more than half full. You can always pack more later. If you're smoking with friends, pack the bowl so the cannabis comes up to the rim of the bowl. Don't pack it any higher or some could fall out as you're smoking.

TL;DR in English: Fill the bong with water. Grind up your cannabis. Pack the cannabis in the bong bowl.

Getting in touch with old friends, distant relatives, and people you went to school with can be a good stepping stone because you're reaching out, but you're not approaching complete strangers. Work on networking first on this group of people before moving on to people with whom you have a more tenuous connection. As a professional, or an aspiring professional, your time is important. Be discerning and selective — you owe it to yourself. Simply approach someone confidently, stick out your hand, and introduce yourself. It's not easy to do, but it's straightforward, and the more you do it, the easier it becomes.  Be confident to inspire confidence in you. Many people who regularly schmooze aren't the most naturally confident people in the world. They've learned to project confidence. This projection soon becomes reality. The "fake it till you make it" strategy really does work. Some people call this the "hostess mentality." You put others first and try to make them feel comfortable. This uncommon effort makes you feel powerful and, ultimately, puts you at ease. . An elevator pitch is a personal blurb that sums up the "professional you" and can be delivered quickly — for example, in the time it would take two people to share an elevator ride. Not exactly a speech that you memorize, an elevator pitch is a couple of refrains that you remember that you can build around, given the situation. Here's an example: "I just graduated from XYZ University with a degree in marine biology. In school, I studied the interaction of tidal patterns on puffin populations. Currently, I'm leading a conservation effort designed to save the puffin population in Eastern Egg Rock, Maine." . Having a great conversation often starts with a little bit of back-and-forth. It's an opportunity for you to get a feel for the other person, and for them to get a feel for you. Some people describe it this way: Conversation is a ladder, and small talk is the first rung that you step on. Don't worry if it feels unnatural at first. Smile, remember to...

There are a few different kinds of cherries on the market these days, and using a particular type will influence the taste of your wine. Here are some things to consider:  Try black cherries or sweet cherries for a sweeter wine. Morello cherries work well for a dry wine. A dry wine is simply a wine that has no residual sugar, meaning it isn’t sweet. To make a dry wine, let your mixture ferment completely, allowing the yeast to consume all of the sugar. Here are some things to consider when making "dry" wine:  After about 2 weeks most of the sugar will have been consumed by the yeast and fermentation will slow, making it easier to keep track of the falling sugar level of your wine. Tracking the sugar level will give you an idea of how your fermentation has been progressing. You may wish to stop the fermentation early and leave a bit of residual sugar in your wine. The fermentation is considered done when you either reach your desired sugar level or go "dry" at 0° Brix on the wine scale.  A wine with 0.2% residual sugar contains two grams of sugar in a liter of wine. Dry wines are typically in the 0.2%-0.3% range, off-dry wines in the 1.0%-5.0% range, and sweet dessert wines are normally 5.0%-10%. There is no "correct" sugar level for your wine, it just comes down to your personal preference. You can give your wine an intriguing flavor by adding small amounts of oak during the fermenting process. Here are some things to consider:  Use oak powder. This way, you won't risk over-oaking your wine. The oak powder will also sink to the bottom of your crock during fermentation, making siphoning easier. When adding oak powder to a batch of homemade wine, you'll want to add anywhere from 4 to 20 grams per gallon, depending on the type of wine (white vs. red) and desired flavor. Generally speaking, for six U.S. gallons of wine you would add about 40 to 50 grams of oak powder for a white wine, or 70 to 85 grams of oak powder for a red wine.

TL;DR in English: Experiment with different types of cherries. Make a "dry" wine. Oak your wine!

You want to protect yourself from an artist who steals another person’s work but presents it to you as original. In that situation, you could be sued for copyright infringement. For example, you could include this covenant: “Artist covenants that he/she has the sole right to record such original songs without any restrictions whatsoever. Artist further warrants that he/she has not entered into any written, oral, or other binding agreement of any kind prior to recording such songs on behalf of the record company.” By agreeing to this provision, the artist agrees not to sue you for any misunderstandings in the agreement. Obviously, including this provision won’t entirely prevent lawsuits. However, it can be helpful to have. You might write: “Artist agrees and warrants to hold the record company ‘completely and totally harmless’ from lawsuits, and litigation of any kind whatsoever, that might proceed from any misunderstandings spelled out or not spelled out in this agreement.” You can agree to arbitrate any disputes that arise under this contract. Arbitration is like a trial except it is private. You present your case to an arbitrator instead of a judge. Alternately, you could include a provision that you will mediate any dispute with the help of a mediator. “If a disagreement does arise, then the parties have agreed in this contract to seek binding arbitration for their differences outside the bounds of a lawsuit and before an arbitration panel made up of people within the music community who understand the legal aspects of each and every facet of this agreement.” Many young artists have stars in their eyes and imagine that fame and wealth are automatically guaranteed because they have signed a recording contract. You can include some provisions which explain to the artist that the music industry is risky.  For example, you could have the artist promise to the following: “The artist covenants that he/she is not basing a decision to record on any intangible or fraudulent promises, dreams, or incentives given...

TL;DR in English: Include a covenant that the artist’s work is original. Add an indemnity provision. Insert a dispute resolution clause. Include provisions that explain the music industry is risky.

Potassium hydroxide is the second key ingredient to making potassium nitrate. Weigh a clear measuring bowl first and use the “Tare Weight” function if you can to make it easier to measure. Then add 56 grams (2.0 oz) of potassium hydroxide to the bowl to make sure you have a precise amount. You can buy dry potassium hydroxide from many hardware or chemical supply stores. While preparing the potassium hydroxide, add just enough water to dissolve the dry substance. Pour in 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of water at a time, stirring thoroughly, and add more if the potassium hydroxide remains dry. The potassium hydroxide should have a thick, smooth texture, like a soup or pudding. Combining these substances can release toxic ammonium gas. Along with wearing a double filter gas mask, take your substances outdoors to prevent serious injuries from the ammonium gas. If you're working in a laboratory, you can also combine the chemicals underneath a fume hood. Once you've found a well-ventilated area outdoors, pour the potassium hydroxide solution slowly into the ammonium nitrate. As you do, make sure your gas mask is secure to prevent irritation or serious injuries from the ammonium gas released.

TL;DR in English: Pour 56 grams (2.0 oz) of potassium hydroxide into a measuring bowl. Add 0.5 imp fl oz (0.96 US tbsp) of water in small increments to dissolve the potassium hydroxide. Take the potassium hydroxide and ammonium nitrate substances outdoors. Combine the 2 solutions slowly.

When ceasing alcohol or tobacco, the body may experience withdrawal without continued use. Withdrawal symptoms from tobacco and alcohol can include: anxiety, depression, fatigue, headache, nausea, shaking, stomach cramps, and elevated heart rate. While tobacco withdrawal can be unpleasant on both body and emotions, alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous. Severity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms varies by how much you drink, for how long, and your condition of health. Some symptoms can start within hours after drinking, peak within days, and improve within the week.  Alcohol withdrawal can lead to symptoms which causes severe mental and neurological problems. This may include body tremors, agitation, restlessness, fear, hallucinations and seizures. Seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms. If you are a long-term and heavy drinker, consider a medically supervised detox. While no prescription medication exists to concurrently treat alcohol and nicotine together, interventions exist to treat alcohol dependence and nicotine addiction.  Prescription medication can be used to treat alcohol dependence, including use of naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram. These medications can help with withdrawal symptoms and relapse.  Choose a method for nicotine withdrawal. While some people quit "cold turkey", others choose to taper off nicotine exposure in order to reduce withdrawal symptoms. Many options are available for nicotine replacement such as gum, a patch, nasal sprays and prescription medications (such as bupropion) while your body adjusts to lower levels of nicotine.

TL;DR in English: Observe withdrawal symptoms. Monitor withdrawal. Seek medication intervention.

If you are using a gas grill, set it on medium to high heat so that you will have some flames. You will be roasting the marshmallows over the flames, which will give you a nice, crunchy outside and a soft, gooey inside. Make sure that the skewer or stick is long enough so that you can hold the marshmallow over the flames without scorching your hand. You can use a metal skewer, but make sure that the handle is heat-resistant so that you don't burn yourself. If you are using a long stick, consider shaving the end into a point; this will not only make it easier to impale the marshmallow onto it, but it will also lessen the changes of any tree bark getting into your marshmallow. You can tell when your marshmallow is melted on the inside if the outside is golden brown and crispy to the touch.  If you like your marshmallows charred, hold it closer to the flames and keep roasting it. This method is perfect for toasting a marshmallow for topping. For example, a marshmallow milkshake can have several roasted marshmallows incorporated into the mixture in the blender and one on top for garnish.

TL;DR in English: Start a camp fire or gas grill. Place a large marshmallow on a skewer or stick. Remove the marshmallow from the flames once it is cooked.

Dog socialization means learning to be a part of human and dog society in a healthy manner. Bernese Mountain Dogs are known to be a little aloof, so socializing in the first year of life is especially important. While it’s an important part of any puppy’s training, for a giant breed of dog it’s imperative. Begin by introducing the dog to normal household noises and activity in a non-threatening manner. Don’t tease your puppy by chasing it with a broom or vacuum. This will only make it fear these things and maybe even you. Take your puppy for car rides to get it used to riding in vehicles and to introduce them to street sights and sounds through the windows. Dog parks (with your puppy safely leashed) are another good way to interact with other dogs and humans. Puppies can be brought to these places after they have had their first two distemper vaccines.  Do not let your puppy off leash unless you are certain it will get along with other dogs and humans. One of the most productive ways to introduce a puppy to other puppies, humans, and normal sights and sounds is to take them to puppy socialization or obedience classes (for older dogs). These classes are held by community education, 4-H clubs, or pet shops and give the dogs and owners a safe place to learn together. Look through your local newspaper or on-line to find classes near you. Your veterinarian’s office may also know of any classes available.

TL;DR in English: Begin socializing early. Take your puppy out into the world. Enroll in a socialization or obedience class.

This Asian-inspired jerky is a sharp departure from the smokey, classic jerky frequently found in stores, and it is delicious. The following recipe is for 3 lbs of meat instead of one. Simply substitute the following ingredients for your normal marinade and keep the rest of your steps the same:  ¼ cup sesame oil ½ cup soy sauce ¼ cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons sesame seeds 2 teaspoons ground pepper ½ teaspoons powdered ginger While it requires a little extra work, this cola marinade from The Food Network has a light, smokey sweetness that goes great on the turkey. Heat up 1 cup cola, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup unseasoned rice vinegar, and ¼ cup honey in a saucepan for 10-12 minutes on medium heat, then let it cool. Add any combinations of the following spices, then add the mixture in place of your normal marinade.  Salt, to taste. 1 teaspoon paprika, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and/or ground chipotle Looking for something a little spicy? Adding a tablespoon of the following ingredients will give your jerky the kick you were looking for:  Tabasco Sriracha Crushed red pepper Ghost pepper extract (extremely spicy). If you don't want to make your turkey taste like classic beef or venison jerky you can simplify the recipe. This leads to a more "Thanksgiving" tasting turkey jerky. To do so, slice your turkey like normal. Then rub it turkey lightly with the following spices before drying at 200˚F in the oven for 6-10 hours.  2 teaspoon kosher salt. 1 tb crushed black pepper ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Rub the turkey lightly, on both sides, with your spice mixture. You want to lightly coat the meat like you were cooking a chicken breast or steak.

TL;DR in English: Try out sesame-soy jerky. Mix things up with a cola inspired marinade. Add Sriracha, crushed red pepper, or Tabasco sauce to give your jerky a kick. Try a "Thanksgiving Turkey" rub for your jerky. Finished.

It’s always easiest to move bulbs when you know where they are, so gardeners usually try to transplant bulb plants when some of the plant is still visible above the ground.  After flowering, the plant will focus on drawing in nourishment to sustain it over the winter.  For this reason, you must avoid cutting green foliage as this deprives the plant of the ability to nourish itself and store energy from sunlight to see it through the winter. It’s always best to transplant bulbs in the fall after the foliage has withered away and is yellow.  You can also move bulbs in the springtime but remember never to cut or damage any green shoots. If you move them in the spring take especial care not to damage the growing roots at this time. The trick with digging up bulbs is to avoid damaging the main bulb and to preserve as much of the root structure as possible.  This can be pretty hard to do. Gentle handling is always necessary when moving bulbs from place to place. When you plant a bulb, you should always do so at a depth of several times the height of the bulb. So when it comes to digging them up, that will give you an idea of how deep you need to dig to avoid damaging the bulb with your spade.  Three times the height of the bulb is the usual depth for planting. Also, bulbs often wriggle deeper into the ground over time, which may add to the depth they were initially planted at. For example, larger bulbs such as tulips or daffodils will usually be planted to a depth of about 8 inches (20.3 cm). It’s best to assume they are at 12 inches (30.5 cm) depth to be on the safe side. Bulb plants reproduce by dividing the original ‘parent’ bulb into several ‘daughter’ bulbs, known as ‘offsets’. This happens over a period of years.  If you observe that your bulb has formed a clump of smaller bulbs, gently separate these with your fingers.  The new bulbs can be planted separately and is a good way of increasing your bulb stock. This will also help avoid damaging neighboring bulbs by pulling apart their roots. Bulbs are usually...

Wash the apples first, then peel them. After this, you can core them using an apple corer, and then cut them into quarters. If you don't own an apple corer, you can cut them into quarters first, then cut the core away with a knife. Put the apples into a large pot first, then add the apple cider. Turn the heat up to high, and let the cider come to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low, and let the apples and cider simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the sugar and spices, then turn the heat back up to high. Let the mixture come to a boil. As soon as the cider starts to boil, reduce the heat to low, and let the apples simmer for 30 minutes.  For a twist, try 1½ cups (300 grams) of brown sugar and ½ cup (115 grams) of white sugar.  If you'd like the apple cider to be sweeter, you can add up to 4 cups (900 grams) of sugar. Once the apples are soft, take the pot off the stove, and let the mixture cool down a little. You can then mash the apples using a potato masher, or purée them in a blender or food processor. The longer you cook it, the thicker it will become. You don't want the apple butter to be too thick, however; the mixture should be reduced by about 40 to 50%. The apple butter may splatter. Consider keeping a splatter screen of sorts over the pot to keep your kitchen clean. Wipe the mouths of the jars with a clean towel, then put the lids on. Store the jars in the fridge.

TL;DR in English: Wash, peel, core, and quarter the apples. Put the apples and apple cider into a large pot, bring it to a boil, then simmer it over low heat for 20 minutes. Add the sugar and spices, return to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Let the mixture cool for a bit, then mash or purée the apples. Return the mixture to the pot, and continue cooking it over low heat until it thickens, about 1 hour. Pour the apple butter into jars, leaving ¼ inch (0.64 centimeters) of space.

Most curtains or drapes are affixed on the top frame or the wall above the frame, while shades and blinds are usually attached inside the opening nearer to the glass. When measuring how deep your window is, it is vital that you measure in front of any obstructions that may get in the way of your blinds. For example, if you have a double hung window, measure in front of the outermost window, not the recessed window pane. (This is normally the bottom half of the window.) If you have any latches or handles, you may also want to measure in front of those. If you are hanging half-length curtains or other short material, you may ignore obstructions that are not in the portion of the window covered by the curtain. If you are hanging your object on the inside of the window, measure the inside width at the top, middle, and bottom points of the window opening. (Windows, new or old, are not always even.) Take the smallest of the three measurements to make sure your blinds or other objects fit. Measure inside height (top-to-bottom) from inside edge to inside edge of the opening. Measure the height at the left, middle, and right points of the window. Take the largest of the three measurements to ensure the hanging material reaches the bottom of the window. You may skip this step if you are hanging a short length of material at the top of the window and do not need it to reach all the way down. If you are hanging the short material partway up the window, you should measure to the height you intend to mount rather than the top of the window. If you are hanging an object on the outside of your window, measure the height and width of the opening from the outside. You may take three evenly spaced measurements and choose the largest of each, but if you intend to cover the entire window you may simply measure at what seems to be the largest point. Add 0.5–1" (1.25–2.5cm) to both width and height if you want to be sure you fully cover the window. If you are mounting the object above the window frame, measure the height between...

TL;DR in English: Decide whether your product will be mounted on the inside or outside of the window opening. If mounting inside the frame, measure the depth of your window opening. Use three measurements to measure inside width and choose the smallest. Measure inside height with three measurements and pick the largest. Measure outside width and height at the largest points.

While doing these things alone won't necessarily make you lose weight, they can be helpful little tricks to keep you moving on the right path. Try out the following to help your hunger cravings during the day:  Eat three fewer bites of each meal. Put your knife and fork down between bites. Use smaller plates, and fill your plate only once. Wait to eat until you feel hungry, don't just snack when you're bored. If you're used to big snacks and indulgent meals, it's no secret that dieting and switching to exercise is challenging. But learning to manage your cravings for a big slice of cake or a greasy hamburger is possible, with a little creativity.  Smell fresh fruit when you want a snack, instead of eating something. "Close" your kitchen between meals. Don't keep sugary or fattening snacks in the house. Some studies show that the color blue is an appetite suppressant. Try getting a blue tablecloth, or blue dishes to eat on. Going out to eat makes it too easy to cheat. Food sold at restaurants is commonly much higher in fat, sodium, and other weight-loss killers. The portions are also often much larger than what you might usually eat at home, as well. Instead of heading out, try to make your own meals.  Eat in a small group, instead of a large one. Some research shows that people eating at big tables tend to eat more than people eating alone.  Don't eat while you do other things, in general. Watching television, or reading, or working while you eat often causes people to eat much more food than they normally would. One recent study revealed that people who eat cereal for breakfast each day have a much easier time losing weight than people who eat other types of breakfast. Start your day right with a high-fiber, nutrient rich natural cereal, or oatmeal. Switch to skim milk with breakfast and for use in other dishes. Each lower-fat step you take down, you're losing 20% of the calories. Switching to a low-fat version of milk is an excellent way to cut down on the calories you're taking in, without having to...

Like an ice glaze, a lemon-gelatin glaze protects the fish. Additionally, it adds flavor.  Boil 1 1/2 cups of water. While it's heating, stir 1/4 cup of lemon juice into 1 3/4 cups of water, along with 1/2 cup of gelatin. Once the water boils, add in the lemon-gelatin mixture. Let it cool.  Dip each fish into the glaze. After dipping, shake off the excess moisture. You don't want too thick a coating on each piece.  Wrap in packaging. You can either use freezer bags or paper. Squeeze out as much air as possible. Freeze the fish. Some fish experts believe that placing fish in water, especially large containers of water, can damage fish fillets. To be on the safe side, use a small container with just enough water to cover the fish, or stick to freezing small, whole fish, as the skin offers some protection.  Use plain, very cold water. You can also use slightly salted water. Pour the water in a shallow pan or freezer bags.  Add the fillets or small fish. Dump the fish in the water, making sure it covers all parts of the fish.  Freeze the fish. Cover the pans, or seal the bags. Place the pans or bags in the freezer, and let them freeze. Don't forget to label the fish with a date.  If using a pan, take the block of ice and fish out of the pan after freezing. Either put the block in a zip-top bag, or wrap it in freezer paper before putting it back in the freezer.

Get in touch with yourself by writing down your thoughts and writing about events in your life. This introspection will be therapeutic and get you to be comfortable with yourself.  Write down anything and everything you want. You can't write anything that's wrong. Write the first thing that comes to your head. Write your most personal thoughts and ideas. Don't be self-conscious about what you write. You're the only one that will ever see it. Write about yourself. Get to know your thoughts and actions more intimately. Instead of going through life without thinking about what you do, be conscious of your actions and why you do them. If you don't like what you do and think, you'll learn that about yourself. You'll also find areas of yourself that you love! List things you like and things you don't like about yourself. For every entry, write a way to keep doing the positive or a way to improve the negative. One of the biggest challenges to being yourself is lingering negative thoughts. These negative thoughts are almost always baseless and self-destructive. Once you're aware of your negative thoughts you can overcome them. Work on replacing them with positive thoughts!  Write down you negative thoughts as they happen. Once they're written down, you can work on changing them. Analyze those negative thoughts. Why are you having them? Are they even true? Are there any counter-examples? Are they productive or destructive? Do you fixate on those thoughts? Answer these questions and more about every negative thought you have. Before long, you'll start to realize how absurd and counterproductive your negative thoughts are. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Instead of "I'm always left out of conversations," think "I had a great conversation earlier" or "I had all these interesting and funny things to say, but I chose not to." Instead of "Nobody thinks I'm clever" think of that one time you made a great pun and everybody cracked up. Make a habit of focusing on the positive. Laugh at yourself. Laughter really...

You'll need some wired ribbon, some tulle, scissors, and twist ties. Use your scissors to cut two to three feet lengths of both the wired ribbon and the tulle. Set these bow tails aside. Follow the loop making process to make 8 to 12 loops out of the wired ribbon. Make sure to hold the bow in the center while you do this, and try to keep the loops about the same length. Wrap a twist tie around the center of the ribbon bow and twist it tight so that the bow keeps its shape. Fold the length of ribbon to be used for a tail in half, and place the center against the center of the bow. Then undo the twist tie and redo it with the tail attached to the center of the bow. Follow the loop making process to make 8 to 12 loops out of the tulle. Make sure to hold the bow in the center while you do this, and try to keep the loops about the same length. Make these loops larger than the loops on the wired ribbon bow. Wrap a twist tie around the center of the tulle bow and twist it tight so that the bow keeps its shape. Fold the length of ribbon to be used for a tail in half, and place the center against the center of the bow. Then undo the twist tie and redo it with the tail attached to the center of the bow.

Latex begins to deteriorate as soon as you use it, and the more often you play, the quicker your goalie gloves will wear down. But by caring for your gloves properly, you can decrease the speed at which you have to replace them. Soft and tacky latex palm grips, like that in professional grade gloves, gives exceptional grip at the expense of durability. Very tacky game gloves can show signs of wear, including flaking, during the first use. Ensure that your game gloves stay in optimal shape by using training gloves. You can either use an old pair or game gloves or buy an inexpensive pair, which has the benefit of forcing you to work on your technique.  Buy a relatively inexpensive training glove that has less palm grip but more durability. Not only will this save your game gloves, but it will refine your technical skills.  You can convert old match gloves to training gloves once you have a new pair. It’s important to maintain one quality pair for matches and another for training. Your gloves will get the most use during a match, so caring for them during the match is important. This is particularly important with “all weather” or “wet weather” models.  Many areas of a soccer field can be dirty or muddy depending on the weather. If you warm up in these areas, it can reduce the efficacy of your gloves, so consider warming up someplace where there is less dirt. You can also use your training gloves for the warm up period. Softer latex gloves need moistened with water as the palm dries, but very soft latex palms can become slippery if they’re too moist. Figure out the correct balance before a match so you don’t hamper your efforts to defend shots on goal. Using your gloves will make them dirty no matter how carefully you play. Dirt and sweat breakdown the glove’s latex and will eventually affect your game. By cleaning your gloves after every use or every few uses, you will extend their life.  Clean each of your gloves separately and delicately. Put on one glove and run it under lukewarm water. Use a mild detergent...

TL;DR in English: Understand that goalie gloves have a limited life span. Use training gloves. Care for the gloves during the match. Clean your gloves. Store your goalie gloves properly. Keep your gloves from smelling.

Ensuring that you reflect a consistent image to your kids is an important part of being a good mom. Children repeat behaviors that their parents do, so avoid setting rules and standards for your kids you don’t follow yourself.  For example, if you have a hard rule about lying in your household, avoid telling lies whenever possible in front of your kids. That way, you’ll seem more credible and admirable. This also includes modeling things like being a hard worker, eating healthy foods, and not using drugs or alcohol. Whether with your spouse, co-parent, family members, friends, or regular people in the community, show your kids how to treat people appropriately. Let them know what it means to be a good friend and/or partner, such as teaching them to actively listen, compromise, and share with others. Use teachable moments when you and your spouse disagree (on lighter matters) to show your kids how to work through conflicts. Being a role model extends beyond basic behavior to humanity in general. If you want to be a good mother, be a good person. Lend a helping hand to a neighbor in need, volunteer in your local community, and advocate for the underdogs of society.  Commit to a family community service project, like serving at a soup kitchen over the holidays. Modeling compassion and empathy for others increases the likelihood that your children will be assets to society. Be a standup mom who understands you’re not perfect and is willing to acknowledge your shortcomings. Admitting your own wrongdoing  shows your kids that there’s nothing to be ashamed of about mistakes—as long as they fess up and try to make amends. For instance, if you accidentally compare one kid to another, acknowledge that is was wrong by saying, “Jeff, I want to apologize to you. I compared you to your brother yesterday and I shouldn’t have. Each of you is special with your own qualities. Will you forgive me?”

TL;DR in English: Do your best to practice what you preach. Model healthy relationships. Be an upstanding citizen in the world. Admit when you’re wrong, and apologize.

For example, choose bluish-red, magenta pink, or purplish-brown. Avoid oranges and colors that are too pale because they can wash you out.  If you have fair or light skin, look for raspberry, mocha, or nudes, especially.  If you have olive or tan skin, look for wine-colored shades or cranberry. If you have a dark or deep complexion, look for metallic shades in ruby red or a deep wine shade. Great options include corals, peaches, and bright reds.  If you have fair or light skin, try red with blue undertones (this will make your teeth look very white, too), coral, pale pink or peachy nudes.  If you have tan or medium skin, go for cherry red, rose, mauve, corals, or berry. Try tangerine, orange-red, copper, or bronze.  If you have a dark or deep complexion, look for browns, copper, bronze, purples, caramel, plumb, or wine-colored lipsticks. If you have neutral undertones, most colors will look good on you. Try to play up your complexion by wearing darker, contrasting colors if you have pale skin, corals if you have olive or tan skin, and berry colors if you have dark skin.

TL;DR in English:


Measure the perimeter of your compound rectangle.

Write down the basic formula for perimeter. Find the measurement of each side. Add all the sides together.

Carefully pour the paint from the can into your paint tray well. Do not overfill the paint tray or the paint could overflow on the sides. Overfilling the well will also make it harder to load your roller.

TL;DR in English: Pour paint into the well until it's halfway filled.

Use a coarse brush or toothbrush to flake off the dried excess paint. For smaller stains, you may be able to pick off dried chunks with your fingernail. Removing the dried top layer will allow you greater access to the set-in stain underneath. It will also be a more efficient, quicker way of removing the larger part of the stain. Hold the shoe over a bowl or tub to catch the excess paint thinner. Pour a thin stream of paint thinner directly over the stain. Make sure to use the appropriate type of paint thinner based on which kind of paint the shoes are stained with. Also be sure to read the directions on the paint thinner packaging for details about use. Use a dull knife to scrape off the now soft paint. The paint should rub right off the shoe. There will still be a light layer of paint set into the fabric below. However, the large majority of the paint should now be gone. A few paper towels or an old dishtowel that you no longer use near food or dishes will work fine. Place the towel on a flat surface and then lay the shoe on top, with the stained area facing down agains the towel. Apply the turpentine to an old sponge or rag, and rub it on the inside of the shoe. Make sure you are holding the shoe with one hand as you apply pressure to the inside of the stain. The paint will begin to come off onto the dry towel you placed on the outside of the shoe.  Make sure to be wearing a pair of rubber gloves when handling turpentine. Continue to replace the dry cloth outside the shoe as it gets wet from the turpentine. The paint will also begin to transfer to the cloth. Repeat until the stain has disappeared. Continue to apply turpentine to the sponge, and apply pressure to the area until the turpentine starts to take effect. Apply the detergent to a dry paper towel or old rag. Rub the outside of the shoe with the dry cloth on the affected area. This will help remove any leftover paint that remains set in the fabric. Use a bucket or laundry sink. Fill with hot water and submerge the shoes completely. Soak them for at...

TL;DR in English: Brush off the excess paint. Pour paint thinner over the stain. Scrape off the softened paint. Place a dry cloth over the stain on the outside of the shoe. Apply a bit of turpentine to the inside of the shoe behind the stained area. Rub the stain with a dry cloth and some laundry detergent. Soak overnight in a tub of hot water. Rinse off the shoes with cold water.

Your dining room table or a workbench should suffice, as long as it gives you enough room to rotate and move the box freely as you work. Place your box in the middle of your work area. Knowing the exact size of the box will inform you of how much wrapping paper you'll need. Place your ruler at the bottom of the box first, taking its measurement lengthwise. Measure its width second. Measure the height of the box last. Perform these measurements in the same order for every side. If the wrapping paper is at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) longer than the box on the left and right sides, proceed with using the paper. Use a second roll of wrapping paper if the wrapping is too short to fit all the way around the box.

TL;DR in English: Set up all of your supplies on a large, smooth, and flat surface. Measure all sides of the box with measuring tape or a ruler. Check the measurements of your wrapping paper with a ruler.

Turkey drumsticks require almost an hour on the grill, and it's important to maintain a steady heat of about 300 °F (149 °C) so they don't burn or end up undercooked. Use a grill thermometer to test the heat of your grill. Sprinkle the meat all over with salt and pepper. If you want to add spices and other seasonings, spread mixed spices all over each drumstick to coat the skin. Try these delicious combinations:  For hot and spicy drumsticks: combine 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon (1.5 g) garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt For herb-encrusted drumsticks: combine 1/2 teaspoon (.4 g) dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon (.7 g) dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon (1.5 g) garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt Lay them on a part of the grill that isn't getting a stream of direct heat, since this will cook them too quickly. This will ensure they cook evenly on all sides. Keep going as each side turns golden brown and crispy. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The drumsticks are ready when the internal temperature reaches 180 °F (82 °C).

TL;DR in English: Heat your gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Season your turkey drumsticks. Cook the drumsticks in indirect heat for 1 hour. Turn the drumsticks every 10 minutes. Test the internal temperature of the drumsticks.

Perimeter is the sum total of all outer sides of any given shape, including irregular and compound shapes.  A standard rectangle has four sides. The two sides composing the length are equal to each other, and the two sides composing the width are equal to each other. Therefore, the perimeter is the sum of those four sides. A compound rectangle has at least six sides. Think of a capital “L” or “T” shape. The top “branch” can be separated into one rectangle and the bottom “bar” can be separated into another. The perimeter of this shape, however, does not rely on breaking up the compound rectangle into two separate rectangles. Instead, the perimeter is simply: P = s1 + s2 + s3 + s4 + s5 + s6. Each “s” represents a different side of your compound rectangle. In a standard educational math problem, the measurement of all sides should be provided.  This example uses the abbreviations L, W, l1, l2, w1, and w2. The uppercase L and W stand for the full lengths and widths of the shape. The lowercase ls and ws stand for the smaller lengths and widths. As such, the formula P = s1 + s2 + s3 + s4 + s5 + s6 equals P = L + W + l1 + l2 + w1 + w2. Variables, like “w” or “l” are simply placeholders for unknown numeric values.  Example: L = 14 centimeter (5.5 in), W = 10 centimeter (3.9 in), l1 = 5 centimeter (2.0 in), l2 = 9 centimeter (3.5 in), w1 = 4 centimeter (1.6 in), w2 = 6 centimeter (2.4 in) Note that l1 and l2 will equal L. Similarly, w1 and w2 will equal W. By plugging the numeric values of the sides into your equations, you’ll be able to find the perimeter of your compound shape. P = L + W + l1 + l2 + w1 + w2 = 14 + 10 + 5 + 9 + 4 + 6 = 48 centimeter (18.9 in)

TL;DR in English:


Head toward a turn at about 30 mi (48 km) per hour. Turn the steering wheel in the direction of the bend. Spin the wheel toward the corner while applying the throttle. Steer away from the bend to begin drifting around the turn. Straighten out the car once you get around the bend.

This can be a helpful method to assist you in feeling a bit more relaxed. Nothing is going to make you forget that your baby is hooked up to machines in a tiny incubator instead of at home in his crib. However, by learning how to relax, you can see past those machines and really look at the joy of your tiny baby. If you are able to hold your baby, tune out all of the beeping monitors and really focus on holding your little one. Take advantage of this time to bond with him. Feel his skin, touch his hair, wiggle his toes...all of these moments can strengthen the parent-child bond. If you cannot hold your baby, sit near his isolette and direct your focus to him and only him. Tune out all the noises around you and pay attention to every move or noise he makes. When you are with your baby, do not get distracted by anything else. Turn off your cellphone and leave the world outside of the NICU behind you. When bonding with your baby, do not focus on his medical condition or worry about how he is doing. Save that for later when you speak with the doctors. Instead, focus completely on enjoying the precious moments that you get to spend with your baby. Chances are that your NICU baby will be sleeping most of the time. When he is awake, be sure to make eye contact with him. This can help with the bonding process and make your baby feel more comfortable. This is especially important for babies who cannot yet be held by their parents.

TL;DR in English: Practice some deep breathing techniques. Tune into your baby so that you can relax easier. Take this time to enjoy the moments spent with your baby. Make eye to eye contact with your baby whenever possible.

When making a voodoo doll, picture the person you you would like the magic to affect and how you would like it to affect them. Because voodoo largely depends upon the connection between you and the voodoo spirits, it's important that the doll you are holding symbolizes the person who will gain good or evil in their life. with a picture. One of the ways to create a replica of a person through a voodoo doll is by printing out a full size picture of the person and sewing it together with fabric. Once you have found a picture or printed one out, cut around the body frame of the person in the picture and then use fabric for the back. As you begin sewing the fabric and picture together, fill the doll with stuffing. Maybe you don't have a picture of the person you want to represent or you'd rather make a voodoo doll from something associated with that person. A lock of hair or piece of clothing will serve this purpose. Find some yarn, string, or fabric and sew or piece together a simple doll. Then, sew the object you have to represent the person to the doll you have created. Before you plan to use your voodoo doll you will need to clear it of all previous energy, thus neutralizing it and giving you a clean slate to perform actions on it. To do this, place your hand over the object and direct your energy through it, focusing on making it new and pure. You can also wash your doll in salt water, cover it with purifying incense such as sage or sandalwood, allow natural light such as sunlight or moonlight to cleanse it, or bury it in the Earth and allow the universe and Mother Nature to transform the energy.  There will likely be previous energy attached to any object you use in making your voodoo doll, so always remember to clear that object so that the energies don't become confused and muddled. To make the clearing process easier, use objects and supplies that have had little contact with others, unless you are specifically using that object to represent someone.

TL;DR in English: Envision the person you have in mind. Make a voodoo doll Make a voodoo doll with personal objects. Clear your voodoo doll.

Following the vet's instructions, treat your cat's ear mites to eliminate the problem.  Never treat ear mites without having them diagnosed by a vet. Anti-mite solutions could easily irritate or worsen problems with similar symptoms to ear mites.. Regular and thorough ear-cleaning is required to cure ear mites. Commercial cleaner is usually used to clear the ear of debris, followed by cleaning with prescription ointments.  A cat's tail should be cleaned as well, as they frequently wrap themselves in their tails to sleep. This means eggs and mites can spread to the surrounding fur.  Ointments and pesticides prescribed by your doctor should be used for 7 to 10 days following an outbreak. If you have any other pets in your home, clean their ears as well as ear mites have likely spread.  Cats can be stubborn about taking medication. Have a friend help you if your cat is particularly resistant to treatment. Try to limit your cat's interactions with places and situations that expose him to ear mites.  If you have an outdoor cat, you might consider keeping him inside if he is prone to frequent ear mite outbreaks. However, outdoor cats can be difficult to keep inside if they're accustom to coming and going as they please. If your cat suffers from Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) he should not go outside. Not only does his weakened immune system make him more susceptible to ear mites, the spread of FIV can be prevented by limiting his exposure to strange cats. Be wary of animal shelters and pet stores where ear mite outbreaks are common. Check all incoming kittens and cats for signs of ear mites before releasing them into your home. Items cats use frequently should be washed after an outbreak.

TL;DR in English: Treat your cat's ear mites. Avoid past mistakes. Wash a cat's bedding and toys.

Since rose water hydrates and moisturizes the skin and has anti-bacterial properties, it makes a great natural cleanser for your face. It can even replace your current facial cleanser. Mixing rose water with glycerin and rose essential oil can make a hydrating cleanser to use on your face every day.  Obtain rose water, glycerin, and rose essential oil. Glycerin moisturizes the face without making it oily.  Glycerin can be found and purchased at most drugstores or grocery stores. Rose essential oil and rose water can both be purchased at a store that specializes in organic food and/or natural cosmetics, such as health food store or Whole Foods. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add one cup of water, two teaspoons of glycerin, and ten drops of rose essential oil and stir. When the ingredients are blended together and are viscous, pour into an empty toiletries bottle. Screw on the cap and save your cleanser for later use. Rose water is an excellent replacement for toners with alcohol and harsh chemicals that can be used daily. Rose water is soothing to the skin and is an effective toner due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It will also close and tighten your pores. Use it in the morning or whenever you prefer to wash your face.  Pour rose water into a spray bottle. Store the rose water in the refrigerator to keep it chilled. Apply the rosewater to a cotton ball and smooth over your face. Rose water can invigorate your face and help maintain its pH balance. Periodically throughout the day, spritz some rose water all over your face for a revitalizing pick-me-up with the soothing scent of rose. It will serve as both a refresher for your skin and soothing aromatherapy.

TL;DR in English: Use rose water as a cleanser for your face. Use rose water as a toner. Refresh your face and skin with rose water.

This is the ideal speed for sliding around the bend. If you have a manual gear shift, put the car into second gear and rev the engine up to 3,000 RPM. If you go too fast, you may lose control during the drift. If you go any slower than this, you may not have enough speed to get all the way around the bend. In drifting, speed isn’t the most important part. Good control is necessary for both destabilizing the car’s balance and also keeping you safe while drifting. As soon as you enter the turn, begin turning toward it. Spin the wheel gently and without a lot of force. This will set you up for the drift, but you’re not quite ready to start it yet. Keep the car close to the inside part of the turn for now. Keep your hands on the wheel so you’re ready to maneuver it at all times. In a power on, it is responsible for the drift as well as the car’s positioning. Try to do both simultaneously. Press down hard on the gas pedal and turn the wheel with force this time. If the move was successful, you will feel the car begin to spin as the back wheels lose traction. If you’re having a hard time starting the drift, using the handbrake or clutch could help. Combine the handbrake or clutch kick technique with the power over. Be quick about it to keep control of the car. If you’re successful, the car will point toward where you want to go. Remember to turn the wheel with force to straighten out the car. Also, continue pressing on the gas to apply even more throttle. If you don’t apply enough force, the car’s back end will come all the way around, causing you to spin out. Let go of the throttle to reduce your speed. As the car begins stabilizing again, gradually rotate the wheel back toward the bend. Focus on moving the car toward where you want to go. Once the front part of the car gets around the bend, you can begin driving toward the road. As soon as the car is stable, you can also press down on the gas to drive away.

Make a paste. Fill the reservoir. Turn on the iron. Turn off the iron and let it cool.

Preheat oven to 350° degrees Fahrenheit or 176° Celsius. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix the ingredients with a whisk and then form a well in the middle of the bowl. Pour in the soy or almond milk, vinegar, eggs, brewed coffee, and dairy-free sour cream into the well. Use a blender to mix for about two minutes until the cake batter forms and there are no more flour streaks. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the cake batter into both of the cake pans. Remove any leftover batter by scraping the edges of the bowl. Place both cake pans in the oven to bake. Have the cake bake for about 30-40 minutes, until the cake rises and is fluffy. Remove both pans from the oven and have the cakes cool for about twenty minutes on a wire rack. Leave both cakes until they are cool enough to touch. Consider stacking both cakes to make a two-layer chocolate cake. Frost with chocolate buttercream frosting and/or decorate with any desired toppings such as berries, powdered sugar, coconut flakes, and sprinkles Slice the chocolate cake and serve on a serving plate. Enjoy!

TL;DR in English: Prepare to make the cake. Combine the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients. Pour batter into cake pans. Bake the cake. Let the cake cool. Frost and decorate. Serve and enjoy!

Yes, this recipe is for iced chocolate. But in a cold liquid, cocoa powder and sugar tend to clump. Warm the liquid just enough to dissolve the powder with a quick stir. Let it cool for a few minutes at room temperature, then move it to the fridge. Your chocolate should chill in about half an hour to an hour, depending on how cold your fridge is. You can put the drink in the freezer for 5–10 minutes instead, but remember to take it out before it freezes. It's best to move it a plastic container first, since mugs and glasses can crack with rapid chilling.

TL;DR in English: Microwave for 30–45 seconds. Chill for 30–60 minutes.

Diverticulitis is more likely for some people than it is for others. Take a look at your personal health risk profile to see if you have an increased risk of diverticulitis. If you are low on the diverticulitis risk spectrum but still have abdominal pain, you may have a different condition. Diverticulitis risk factors include:  Aging. Those over the age of 40 are more likely to develop diverticulitis. Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. Regular exercise lowers the risk of diverticulitis. Smoking. A diet rich in animal fats. Taking certain medications including steroids, opiates, ibuprofen, and naproxen. Symptoms of diverticulitis can be similar to those associated with pelvic injuries or diseases, such as pelvic inflammatory disease. Talk to your doctor about screening for pelvic disease with a standard pelvic exam.

TL;DR in English: Assess your personal risk level for diverticulitis. Ask about a pelvic exam.

Call your potential client and ask them if you can look at the space ahead of time. Schedule a time that works for both you and the client so you can visit the areas that need to be cleaned. Seeing the area firsthand can help you determine the size and scope of what you need to complete throughout the job. Taking the time to do a walkthrough also shows your client that you’re willing to put in extra time and care to give them a fair and honest deal. Your client should have the measurements of each room so you can determine the size of the space. Larger projects require more work hours and manpower than smaller areas. Ask your client as soon as you arrive if they have specific measurements. If measurements aren’t given to you by your client, then be prepared to measure the space yourself. Carry a notebook with you as you do your walkthrough. Write whether the floors are tile, wood, carpet, or another material so you can determine if you need any special cleaners. While carpets may only need to be vacuumed, hard floors should be swept and mopped. If you’re unsure about what material the flooring is, ask the client to clarify so you know for sure. Count the number of restrooms, sinks, or any other large fixtures throughout the area. These areas tend to get dirtier and will require more time for you to clean. Then, count the number of windows so you know how much glass you’ll need to clean. Ask if you need to wash the exterior windows as well as the interior. Take a digital camera or a smartphone with you during your walkthrough. Get good, clear pictures of each area the client wants you to clean so you can look at them later while writing your bid. The photos can help you remember details about additional work that needs to be done in a specific area. Always ask the client if it’s alright for you to take pictures. As you’re walking through the space, ask the client what they want you to clean. Ask them for specific details, like whether desks need to be straightened out, carpets need to be shampooed, or exterior...

TL;DR in English: Ask to do a walkthrough of the area you’ll be cleaning. Request the measurements of the spaces you’re going to clean. Takes notes on the type of flooring throughout the space. Write down the number of fixtures and windows. Photograph the areas the client wants cleaned for reference. Discuss with the client what special services they expect from you. Ask the client if they’ll provide any supplies.

Mix together a paste of 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of water and 2 tablespoons (6 g) of baking soda. The paste should be a bit runny, but still thick enough so that it can stick to the plate of your iron. Use filtered or distilled water, if you can. If there is any old water leftover in the iron, be sure to empty it out first. You can do this by opening the hatch to the reservoir and turning it upside down. After it is empty, use distilled or filtered water, and fill the reservoir about 1/3 of the way. You can also fill the reservoir with a mixture of 3/4 cup (180 mL) of water and 1/4 cup (60 mL) of white vinegar for a stronger cleaning solution. However, you should read your iron’s instruction manual to make sure that it will tolerate vinegar. Turn the iron to its highest setting, and make sure the steam setting is on. In this step, the steam and heat will clean out gunk and mineral deposits caught deep in the steam holes. Be careful when working with a hot iron. Don’t get burned by the steam that will be released by the iron. Make sure that you place the iron on a protected surface (e.g. a kitchen counter covered with a towel). As the iron cools, more old sediment might drip out of the iron. If there is any leftover water in the reservoir, be sure to remove it.

TL;DR in English:
