Lay a straight edge on the bottom shelf of the cabinet. Move the straight-edge on to the bottom shelf. Measure the actual height of the cabinet opening (from the surface of the bottom shelf). Make new reference marks. Take measurements from between your reference marks.

Measure the inside surface of the cabinet, by first laying a straight-edge face flat on the bottom shelf of the cabinet with one end of the straight-edge sticking out of the cabinet a few inches.  Slowly close the cabinet door until it is lightly touching the straight-edge. Mark a pencil mark on the door where it touches the straight-edge. Move the straight-edge over at least a couple of inches and make a second mark. Now, place your straight-edge on the bottom shelf with its face against the vertical stile (vertical piece of the face frame) opposite the hinged edge of the door.  As before, it should stick out a few inches. Hold it as parallel with the side of the cabinet as possible so it’s close to 90 degrees to the face frame of the cabinet. Again, slowly close the door until it just touches the straight-edge. Mark a pencil mark on the door where it touches the straight edge. Raise the straight-edge at least a few inches and make a second mark. From the pencil mark near the bottom of the door, use that measurement and make a pencil mark at that point near the top of the door, then make a second one a few inches apart from the first one. You should now have two marks near the bottom of the door, two near the top, and two along the opened edge of the door. Create new reference marks by measuring up ½” from the bottom marks, ½” down from the top marks, and ½” in toward the center of the door from the vertical edge marks.  From the new reference marks you just made, line them up with a straight-edge and connect them with a pencil line. Do this along all three edges. These lines represent the size of your piece of sheet metal. Measure the spaces between your reference marks be sure you stay BETWEEN the hinges and the outer line on the door.  By taking these measurements once, you have established the vertical measurement for all the cabinets of the same height in your kitchen. For cabinets of different widths, measure from the outer edge of the “model” door to the vertical pencil line. Measure that same...

Recognize the dangers of lead. Don’t overreact to the situation. Look at both sides of the debate. Take practical steps to reduce lead exposure from cosmetics.

Lead is an element that has served useful purposes from plumbing to paint and beyond for centuries, but the dangers of excessive lead levels in the body have become apparent in recent decades.  Lead is a neurotoxin that can cause behavioral, developmental, and learning difficulties.  It is therefore particularly dangerous for children and their developing brains. See the handout created by an agency of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (available at http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/ToxProfiles/tp13-c1-b.pdf) for detailed information about lead, how it enters the body, how it impacts the body, and how to limit exposure. Yes, 400 out of 400 cosmetics tested by the FDA in 2010 contained lead (and a separate major study also got a 100% result).  And yes, lead is a toxic substance.  That said, among the most likely sources for dangerous levels of lead exposure, your cosmetics are pretty low on the list.  Continuing to use cosmetics is unlikely to significantly alter the amount of lead in your body, and pitching all your cosmetics will not protect you from possible lead exposure from more likely sources.  You are more likely to be exposed to higher levels of lead by way of water carried through old pipes, houses built before 1978 with flaking paint, and airborne dust near industrial sites, to name some examples.  Often with good intentions, some individuals and groups have resorted to scare tactics in order to advocate for the removal of all traces of lead from cosmetics.  You may have gotten emails before that say cosmetics companies intentionally use lead because it lowers their costs, and that lead causes cancer. In reality, most lead in cosmetics occurs as a natural contaminant, and the possible links between lead exposure and certain cancers are still unclear. On one hand, then, you have organizations like the FDA that state that the small amounts of lead found in cosmetics are of no real health concern.  On the other hand, you have advocacy groups and some researchers who focus on the fact...

Sit down. Try some gentle stretching. Go for a walk. Take a timeout. Go outside. Tense and relax your muscles.

If you’re standing up, try sitting down to dispel your anger. Sitting, lying down, or otherwise attempting to make yourself comfortable can help trigger your brain to help you relax. Your body associates relaxed postures with being relaxed.  If you are standing during a confrontation with another person, you could say, “Let’s sit down and try to work this out.” If you can’t sit down, try not to pace or tense your body. Soften your stance as much as possible. You can also try visualizing yourself relaxing on your bed or sitting in your favorite comfortable chair. Stretching can help relax your muscles and release tension. Even just a minute or two of gentle stretching could help you relax and re-center yourself. Focus on the areas where you normally hold tension, such as in your neck, jaw, or shoulders, and work on loosening up the muscles in these areas. You could also try yoga to relax. If you are familiar with some poses, take a minute to do one that you find relaxing and centering. If you are unfamiliar with yoga, try taking a class to learn some great stretches! Spend a few minutes walking to calm down. Getting outside is ideal, but if you can’t, walk around your office, home, or school. Aerobic activity can help lower your stress levels in just a few minutes.  Exercising daily can help your stress levels stay lower all day, even before you get angry. You could get into the habit of taking a walk every morning or evening. If walking isn’t your favorite activity, you could try some other aerobic exercise to receive the same stress-reduction benefits, such as biking, running, or swimming. If you find yourself unable to remain calm in the situation, excuse yourself from the person or environment before you lose your temper. Figure out where you could go for a few minutes to collect yourself, or schedule another time to deal with the situation if possible. Just make sure to come back to the discussion. Don’t use the break as an excuse to abandon the conversation altogether.   You could say, “I need to excuse...

Warm up vanilla extract instead of coffee to create a sweeter smell. Put a bowl of cloves in the microwave overnight to add a spicy aroma instead of heating something up. Heat up a covered bowl of berries if you want your microwave to smell fruity.

Heat a mixture of 4 teaspoons (20 mL) of vanilla extract and 2 cups (0.47 L) of water for at least 2 minutes, or until it’s boiling and creating steam. Don’t take the bowl out right away—while the mixture is still hot, let the steam spread throughout the microwave to overwhelm all of the bad odors. Wait at least half an hour before removing the bowl and dumping out the mixture. Remove any extra moisture from the microwave by wiping it out with a cloth or paper towel. Pour 27.5 grams (0.97 oz) of cloves into a container and set it inside the microwave. There’s no heating involved for this method—instead, you’ll shut the door and leave the cloves to sit all night. The closed microwave door allows the spicy aroma of cloves to fill your microwave and cancel out any bad smells. Take a mixture of your favorite berries and place them in a small container. Secure the top of the bowl with plastic wrap, and microwave the berries for several minutes. As the fruit heats up, their scent will begin to spread through the microwave, thus cancelling out any bad odors.  You can use any kind of berry for this.

regularly to boost your memory and cognitive function. Try to exercise for 30 minutes on at least 5 days each week to keep your mind sharp. You can also try working out right before you start memorizing for extra brain-boosting benefits.  You don't have to get in a long workout to reap the benefits of exercise for better memorization. Even taking a 15-minute walk before you start studying can help.  Doing 20 minutes of yoga before working on memorizing something is another great way to boost your brain function. Green tea has been show to boost cognitive function more than other types of beverages. Make yourself a cup of regular or decaf green tea and sip it before or during your study session. The extra boost of caffeine in regular green tea may also be helpful. You can drink green tea hot or iced. Avoid multitasking while you memorize, such as checking your social media accounts or texting friends. This will interfere with your ability to focus on the task at hand. Put away your phone, turn off the TV, and ask members of your household not to disturb you while you are studying. If you have trouble staying focused, try setting small goals and rewarding yourself with a short break each time you meet one of them. For example, you could make it your goal to focus on studying for 25 minutes, and then reward yourself with a 5 minute break. Afternoon may be the time when you feel the least alert, but it has also been shown to be a potent time to work on memorizing new information. If you have been struggling to remember the material you are studying, try memorizing it in the afternoon instead of in the morning or at night. For example, you could work on memorizing at around 2 or 3 pm. before you start memorizing. Being well-rested has a far-reaching impact on your ability to memorize.

Know your amplifier. Know the layout of your equipment. Connect the amp to the first speaker. Connect the amp to the second speaker.

Just like method 1, you must figure out if your four-channel amplifier can be bridged. Taking all the same precautions, be sure to consult the amplifier manual or research your amp model online to be sure it can be bridged. On your four-channel amp, you should see 8 terminals: channels 1 through 4 each have a positive (+) and negative (-) terminal.  Each terminal will be labeled as follows:  Channel 1  "A" (positive) "B" (negative)   Channel 2  "C" (positive) "D" (negative)   Channel 3  "E" (positive) "F" (negative)   Channel 4  "G" (positive) "H" (negative) From the wires coming out of the speaker, connect the positive speaker lead to terminal A (the positive for channel 1) and connect the negative speaker lead to terminal D (the negative for channel 2). Again, just like bridging a two-channel amplifier, connect these speaker wires to the amplifier by unscrewing the screw in that whichever terminal you are connecting the wire to, place the wire in between the top and bottom portions of the terminal, and then screw the screw down tightly to secure the wire. Once the wires are secured, the first speaker is connected to the amplifier. Following the previous method, again take the wires coming from the second speaker, but this time, connect the positive speaker lead to terminal E (the positive for channel 3) and connect the negative speaker lead to terminal H (the negative for channel 4).

Make a rinse to improve your dog's skin and coat. Clean out your dog's ears using ACV. Spray your dog's coat to repel fleas. Bathe in ACV-soap mixture to fight fleas. Use a flea comb to remove the fleas. Rinse your dog.

After bathing your dog, brush the vinegar through the dog's coat. It will improve the shine of your dog’s coat and will act as a deodorant. Do not use if your dog’s skin is dry, broken, or otherwise irritated. Treating your dog's skin this way will help prevent dry skin and itchiness. The antibacterial properties of apple cider vinegar make it an option to clean out a dog's ears. It will help to prevent infection and ward off parasites that are susceptible to the acid in ACV. Soak a small cotton ball or piece of clean cloth in the vinegar and gently wipe your dog's ears as carefully as you can. Be aware that ACV's astringent properties may sting your dog's ears or cause the delicate skin of the ear canal to dry out. If your dog spends a lot of time romping around during the summer, using ACV may keep fleas away. Mix two cups of water and two cups of ACV in a clean spray bottle. Once a week, spray your dog's fur with the mixture. Although not scientifically proven to get rid of flea, the acidic taste of the vinegar may repel fleas and other parasites. If your dog dislikes being sprayed, dip a washcloth into the mixture and rub your dog's coat. There is no need to rinse your dog afterward. The smell will dissipate after the ACV dries. If your dog has a case of fleas, you can drown them by using a mixture of soapy water and ACV. The soapy water washes the fleas away and the ACV is anecdotally reported to keep them from coming back. Make a mixture of 1/4 cup dish soap, 1/2 gallon water and 1/2 gallon ACV.  Put on long sleeves and gloves. Before you start treating your dog, it's important to protect your own skin from flea bites.

Leave the country. Make purchases within your allowance. Pay Customs duty on anything exceeding your allowance.

You must leave the country in order to qualify for duty-free shopping, often for a minimum span of time. In the United States, for example, you must leave the country for at least 48 hours if you wish to take full advantage of U.S. duty-free stores. However, you may be able to purchase some quantities of duty-free goods if you're traveling for less than that time span. U.S. citizens may purchase a reduced quantity of duty-free goods if they've spent less than 48 hours in Canada, for example, and Canadian citizens may purchase a limited quantity of duty-free goods after any length of time in the United States.  U.S. citizens traveling to Canada for under 48 hours may bring back up to $200 (U.S. Dollars) worth of goods per person without paying taxes or duties. However, alcohol and tobacco may be subject to duties and taxes if it was purchased on a brief trip. U.S. citizens who spend more than 48 hours in Canada may bring back up to $800 in goods per person, and will not have to pay taxes or duties on up to one liter (33.8 fluid ounces) of alcohol, one carton of 200 cigarettes, and 100 cigars. You may purchase up to the legal amount of goods in the duty-free store, though that amount will vary depending on where you are traveling and how long you will be gone. Product limitations are generally applied to high-tax items like alcohol and tobacco, though an overall limit is usually in place at most international borders.  Most product-specific limitations restrict travelers to bringing back one liter (33.8 fluid ounces) of alcohol and one carton of cigarettes per person per trip. At the U.S./Canadian border, individuals may only bring up to $800 in goods per month.

Go to the library. Provide ample in-class reading time. Read a book as a class. Make students practice.

The library is a great place to help students develop an interest in reading and learning. Allow them several trips to the library every week so that they can pick out their books, return old books, and just spend some time reading. Let students have class time to just sit and read their books. You can decide if they have to read books just from the library or if they can bring books from home to read during this time. But the most important thing is to get students interested in reading and to give them time to do it in class. This will show them that reading is an important skill and will help them to develop stronger reading abilities over time. Reading a book as a class can be a fun experience that everyone looks forward to each day. The students can discuss the book with each other since they are all reading the same book at the same time. This will also help improve their listening comprehension skills because they are practicing listening to something that is fun and doesn't feel like work to them, but will still build these listening skills so they can apply it to their schoolwork. Studies have shown that children learn to read and write by reading and writing. So it is essential to give them time to practice these crucial skills in class and encourage them to reinforce these skills with homework and reading assignments.

Pour the coconut milk into a blender. Stir the cocoa powder into the coconut milk. Add the rest of the ingredients, and blend until the mixture is smooth. Taste the mixture and make any adjustments. Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream maker. Serve the ice cream.

Shake the can vigorously first, then open it and pour the contents into a blender; you can also use a food processor instead. Use a spoon or spatula to scrape out any leftover coconut cream and add it to the blender. Don't blend it just yet, and don't worry about being too precise. Mixing the cocoa powder into the coconut milk first will simply prevent the cocoa powder from flying out everywhere when you turn the blender on. Add in the honey, vanilla extract, and salt. If you are vegan, you can use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey. If the mixture is too sweet, add a pinch of salt. If it is not sweet enough, add a little bit more of your honey, avage nectar, or maple syrup. Be sure to blend after each addition. Follow the manufacturer's directions, as each ice cream maker will be a little different. If you don't have an ice cream maker, follow the steps below:  Chill the mixture in a bowl over an ice bath. This will keep ice crystals from forming. Pour the ice cream into a shallow, freezer-safe container, preferably metal. Place the ice cream into the freezer. Stir the ice cream with a whisk or spatula every 30 minutes until it is frozen, about 2 to 3 hours. Be sure to pull the ice cream away from the edges of the container and to break up any ice crystals. If the ice cream is too hard to scoop out, let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes. Store any leftovers in the freezer, and eat it within 1 to 2 weeks.

Drink cranberry juice or extract. Combine cranberry with lingonberry in your diet. Take bearberry powder. Take brewer's yeast. Take 1 teaspoon (about 2 g) of D-mannose twice per day. Drink teas and extracts that are proven to treat UTIs.

Cranberries are a well-known treatment for UTIs that make it harder for bacteria to thrive. Cranberries both make urine more acidic and introduce a chemical from a class called proanthocyanidins, that makes it harder for bacteria to stick to the bladder and urethra's cells. Although many people use cranberries it to treat UTIs, studies suggest that cranberries are better for prevention than treatment.  Drink 300–600 millilitres (1.3–2.5  c) of cranberry juice daily. The study in question studied Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice cocktail, specifically.  Take cranberry capsules (400 mg twice per day) if you don't like the juice. Lingonberry is a berry in the same family as cranberry. One study suggests that drinking cranberry-lingonberry concentrate reduces the risk of UTIs in women and girls. The subjects in this study drank 7.5 g of cranberry and 1.7 g of lingonberry concentrates mixed in 50 millilitres (0.21  c) of water daily. Uva Ursi (Bearberry) might not be available in your grocery store, but you can find it easily and cheaply online. Though uncommon in general American usage, Native American and European medicine have used it for centuries. Take 250-500 mg of powdered bearberry 3 times per day.  This might give your urine a greenish-brown tint, but this is not harmful. Bearberry acts as a diuretic (rids the body of salt and water), so ask your doctor about using it if you're on other medications. In theory, brewer's yeast “crowds out” the bacteria that cause UTIs, but as of now, there are no reliable clinical trials proving it can treat a UTI. Furthermore, brewer's yeast can interact badly with certain types of medications, so talk to your doctor before considering brewer's yeast. Despite the lack of scientific studies, many people take 3g of brewer's yeast twice per day to treat a UTI.  Consult a doctor before taking brewer's yeast if you're on other medications. It should NOT be taken with a class of medications called MAOIs.  MAOIs include the drugs: Selegiline, Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine, Rasagiline,...

Start a modified paleolithic diet to decrease inflammation. Sit down or rest to decrease fatigue. Relax with meditation, massage, or stretching. Get out of the heat and cool off. Wear tight clothing or a constricting scarf. Place a hot water bottle or warm compress on the afflicted area. Go to the emergency room if you have severe chest pain.

What you eat can affect symptoms of MS, such as inflammation or pain. A paleolithic diet heavy in fruits and vegetables can help you feel better in the long run.  Aim to eat brightly colored fruits and vegetables, like peppers or oranges. Green vegetables, like spinach or kale, are also good. Vegetables high in sulfur, such as broccoli, cabbage, and bok choy, may also help reduce symptoms. You can eat about 4 oz (110 g) of lean meat a day, like chicken or fish. Reduce or eliminate how much dairy, eggs, and wheat you eat. People with MS are more likely to experience the hug if their bodies are fatigued of if they’re very tired. In either case—especially if you’re performing physical work—sit down and rest. If possible, sleep or take a short nap.  The hug symptoms should decrease. If you lead a stressful life, you may need to find a way to cut back on stress in general in order to decrease the MS hug symptoms. Stress may affect the severity or frequency of your symptoms. If you start feeling constricted or overwhelmed, take a break. Do some light stretching, or pause to meditate.  Go get a massage. A massage may be effective in helping your symptoms. If there's something that usually helps you relax, such as music or a bath, try doing it to see if it helps with your symptoms. The MS hug is more likely to occur if you’re overheated, whether from being out in the sun or from exercising or doing physical labor. Whatever the cause, find a way to cool down. If you’re in the sun, move into the shade or go indoors. If you’re exercising, stop and take a break in a cool room. If you live in at hot climate, you may need to adjust your schedule so that you spend more time outdoors in the early morning and late evening, before the day reaches its full heat. Many MS patients find that wearing a tight shirt or jacket, or knotting a scarf around the abdomen (or wherever MS hug symptoms are felt) can decrease the pain. Tight clothing around the abdomen can fool the brain into thinking that the pain from the MS hug is in fact...

Understand the purpose of renovation pruning. Wait until the dormant season. Remove any suckers. Trim up to one-third of the stems.

Rosa rugosa shrubs often remain tidy without much interference, but if the roses start looking messy or overgrown, you will need to use renovation pruning to clean the plant up.  Note that renovation pruning can cause a slight loss of flower production the following year, but it is still beneficial to your plant overall. Rose shrubs that are too overgrown essentially over-extend themselves and their resources. It may take a few years for the stress to show, but once it does, your plant will be much weaker and may have a hard time surviving. For the first two or three seasons, you should actually avoid renovation pruning. Doing so can allows the plant to establish itself more securely. Once the plant establishes itself, consider waiting every other year to do an overhaul on it. Renovation pruning can be performed once every year, but if new growth on the plant is not vigorous enough or if the plant grows weak, you may need to skip every other year. As with essential yearly pruning, you should wait until the plant enters its dormant stage before pruning it down. Waiting until the last frost passes in early spring is often the best option, but you should be able to prune the shrub at any point between late fall and early spring. Suckers refer to stems that grow from the rootstock of the plant instead of the main stem. Cut these suckers off at the ground level.  Aside from looking messy, the main problem with suckers is that they tend to grow too well and will deprive your main rosa rugosa shrub of the nutrients it needs. As a result, your main shrub will weaken and eventually die. Cutting suckers off at the ground will usually be enough, but if you want to be more thorough, dig down to the root from which the sucker originates and tear or cut it off at its point of origin. Starting with the oldest stems, cut down between one-quarter and one-third of the stems on the plant. These stems should be trimmed down to ground level.  In this instance, "ground level" refers to any height between the ground and 1.5 inches...

Kerosene is a flammable liquid that should be stored in a safe place away

Make sure to store your kerosene in a safe container labeled for kerosene or flammable liquid. Store your kerosene in a safe place. Keep kerosene for one to three months. Don't throw your kerosene away – no matter how old it is.

Kerosene containers must also be provided with an approved label, as required by federal and state authorities. Storing kerosene in anything other than an approved container is strictly prohibited for safety reasons. Since kerosene is a flammable liquid, it should be stored at room temperature and away from potential heat sources like the sun, hot water heaters, space heaters, furnaces, or ignition sources. This safety precaution will help keep you and your family safe in case of a spill. Storing kerosene for longer than three months can be dangerous, as the old fuel can break down and cause the growth of bacteria or mold. Ideally, you should buy high-quality kerosene in small quantities and store it in its original certified container. If you change the container of the kerosene, it might get mistaken for another substance – which could be dangerous. If you have kerosene left over after a few months, it's best for you to properly dispose of it. If you throw kerosene away, it will end up in landfills or incinerators, or may even be dumped into rivers. When kerosene is disposed improperly, it can poison the air, soil, water, wild animals, and even people and their pets.

Check if he seems nervous around you. See if he tries to join your conversations. Watch to see if he tries to talk to your friends. Look for compliments in his conversation. Ask him if he likes you.

A guy who laughs, stutters, makes weird jokes, or avoids eye contact when you talk is probably nervous around you. A lot of middle school boys are really nervous around girls they like, so this is a good sign! Do you ever find him butting into your conversations with a friend? This could mean he is trying to spark a conversation with you and wants to talk. Let him! Joke around a bit to let him know you accept him. Is he coming up often and talking to your friends but not necessarily you? He may be working his way around to you, and using your friends as the excuse to be nearby. It can be hard to tell if he likes you or just likes your friend. If he talks to the same friend every time, he probably likes them. But if he talks to a different friend every time, he might like you! People usually don’t say nice things about people they don’t like. If he’s giving you compliments when he doesn’t have to, he is probably interested in you!For example, things like "I really liked your presentation" or "That jacket looks nice on you" might indicate that he likes you. This takes some courage, but if you’re already talking to him and he’s showing a lot of signs of liking you, it’s okay to just ask! He might get embarrassed, but if he really likes you, he’ll say so.  You can just say “I like you a lot. Do you like me?” It’s best to tell him you like him too first, otherwise, he might think you’re making fun of him. If he avoids answering or even says no, just play it off as a joke. You can say “Just kidding!” and change the subject.

Prepare your singing repertoire. Take classes. Volunteer with a local choir. Put together a singing portfolio. Practice, practice, practice.

It’s important to have range as a singer. Being able to perform lots of different songs, genres, and event types will help you to land more gigs.  Familiarize yourself with typical weddings, bar mitzvahs, or piano bar songs, for example. You should have at least 40 popular songs memorized and performance-ready for these types of events and venues. Turn these songs into a typed list. It will be helpful to have a list ready of all the songs and genres you're comfortable with. Use genre or event types (jazz, rock, wedding, bar mitzvah, etc.) to categorize your list. Include your preferred key along with the name of each song. While a formal education isn’t required for a successful singing career, taking some singing or music classes might help you build your skillset.  If you are interested in pursuing a college degree, consider majoring or minoring in music, voice, or another performance discipline. You can also pursue lessons outside of the schoolroom by getting private vocal coaches and teachers to help you learn the basics. Learn to “Sight Sing.” Many auditions and even gigs will require you to perform new songs after only briefly looking at the music and words. This may seem like an impossible task, but this type of sight-reading can actually be learned and practiced.   How to Sight Sing If there is a choir in your school, church, or community contact them and let them know you're interested joining. This won't be a paid experience, but you will earn some valuable experience! Having a polished portfolio of all your singing credentials will help you show prospective employers that you’ve got the chops for the gig.  In addition to your name and contact information, list your vocal range, singing styles, past gigs, previous training, and any extra qualifications (like if you can also play an instrument).  Include a professional 8-by-10 headshot. This will help prospective employers remember your face and show some of your personality. Make a quality demo tape.

Check how much RAM your computer currently has installed. Check how much RAM your computer and operating system can support. Check what RAM format your motherboard supports. Determine the clock speed. Purchase RAM modules in pairs. Understand the difference between desktop and laptop memory.

Before determining how much RAM you should purchase, it will be helpful to know how much RAM you already have installed in your computer. You can quickly check your installed RAM, regardless of what operating system you are using.  Windows - Press ⊞ Win+Pause to open your System Properties window. Your installed RAM will be listed in the System section. Mac - Click the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". Your installed RAM will be displayed in the Memory entry. There are several factors that will dictate how much RAM your system can support, including your operating system and motherboard limits:  If you are using Windows, a 32-bit version can support up to 4 GB, while a 64-bit version can support up to 128 GB. You can check what version of Windows you have by pressing ⊞ Win+Pause and looking for the "System type" entry. Even if your computer supports up to 128 GB, there's a good chance that your motherboard doesn't support that much. You'll need to check the documentation for your motherboard or run an online system scanner (Crucial.com has a good one) to see how much memory your motherboard supports. Mac users will need to check their documentation to see how much their computer support as it varies significantly from model to model. If you don't have the documentation anymore, you can look up the specs of your model on the Apple support site. See this guide for more details on determining the maximum amount of RAM your computer supports. RAM has gone through several revisions over the years. The standard these days is DDR4 RAM, but if you are upgrading an older computer, you may need DDR3, DDR2 or even DDR. If this is the case, you will likely want to consider upgrading the entire computer, as older types of RAM are getting increasingly expensive. You can determine what type your computer uses by referring to the documentation or running a tool like CPU-Z, a freeware utility that analyzes your system.

Join extracurricular activities. Get to know the people in your classes. Get involved in your community. Maintain a variety of interests. Put yourself out there.

Whether you're into basketball, cheerleading, French club, or band, joining a few extracurricular activities can help you become more popular simply because you'll get to know a wider variety of people. If you only get to know the people in your classes, you'll be missing out on a wide variety of amazing people from your school. You'll also find it easier to connect with people who share your interests, so you'll be more likely to make friends.  Remember that, to be popular, people have to actually know who you are — what better way is there to get your name out there than to get involved in extracurricular activities? Finding the right extracurricular activity for you can also help you find a new passion, explore new hobbies, and maybe even to get inspired to follow a new career path. Though it's important to be a good student, you should still be able to find time to relax and make a few friends in your classes. Whether you're chatting it up with your lab partner or the person who sits behind you in Algebra II, you should make an effort to get to know the people in your classes —without disrupting your learning, of course!  You may end up finding a new best friend after working on a school project or putting together a lab report with a new classmate. Don't think that you can only find friends after school hours. People in your classes may also be excited to meet new people, because people don't always end up in class with people they already know since class assignments are random. If you have a lunch period and don't have any friends during the same period, try sitting with a new group of people, that way, you can make new friends and get to know them better. Another way to be involved is to do something in your community. Whether you're volunteering at a soup kitchen or playing softball in a rec league, doing something that is community-based will help you get to know more people and to become experienced with talking to a wider variety of people. You may also meet some people from school who are doing...

Purchase a bag of Epsom salt. Open the bags and let the salt dry.

You can find this salt in pharmacies. It is often added to bathes to soothe aching muscles. Although it contains the word "salt," this product is not edible. Thanks to its pure-white color, however, the food coloring will show up much better compared to real sand.  Regular table salt will also work for this method. If you want to make edible colored sand, use white, granulated sugar instead. How long this takes depends on how dry or humid it is in your home. For most people, this will take overnight. You can speed up the drying process by spreading the salt out on a baking sheet or tray. Make sure that you use a separate sheet/tray for each color, however.

There are endless options to create a funky and fun notebook cover. Choose your materials before you get started so you have a plan of attack. Select something to express yourself with!  You can use cardboard, construction paper, or old maps. You can find images on the Internet. Print out 1 image to cover the entire notebook, or use your computer to make a collage of photos. You can select fabric like canvas, denim, or old T-shirts. You could also paint a separate sheet on paper and glue it onto the cover. You can use duct tape and stick it onto the cover. Place your notebook on top of your material, whether it is another piece of paper or a piece of fabric. Mark the edges of your notebook onto your cover with a pencil or pen. This can be a rough size estimate, so you know where to make your cuts. You can cut out a cover for the front and a cover for the back separately, or cut out a size that would fit both the front and back cover in one piece. Be sure to lay your book open flat if you are covering both sides. Use a pair of scissors to cut out your cover, based on the lines you traced. Place your cover on top of your notebook to make sure the size is correct.  If the cover is too big, trim it down so it fits the size of your notebook. If it is too small, you can cut out another cover or improvise with other accessories, like ribbon or stickers. If you are using fabric, use fabric scissors for sharp, straight lines. You can use an adhesive like a glue stick, liquid glue, a hot glue gun, or Mod Podge. Put a thin, even layer of glue onto the back of the cover material. Make sure you coat the edges of your cover so the paper won't lift up later. Avoid applying too much glue on your cover. It will take a long time to dry and create a mess.

If you have a chemical burn, you should first dilute the chemical compound. This is the best thing you can do to treat a chemical burn right away

Remove the patient from the area of exposure. Take off any clothing or jewelry around the burn. Wash the burn thoroughly. Apply a clean, sterile dressing. Administer an over-the-counter pain reliever. Get a tetanus shot.

If the chemicals still pose a danger to the burn victim, then make sure that you remove him or her from the area of exposure. For example, if the chemicals are giving off fumes or if the victim is in danger of getting splashed with more of the chemical, then remove the victim to another room or go outside.   Always take precautions to protect yourself when tending to someone who has received a chemical burn. For example, you may need to wear long sleeves, gloves, a mask, goggles, or other protective gear to prevent yourself from receiving a similar injury. If there are any dry chemicals left on the victim's skin, then brush these chemicals off before irrigating the area. If the victim has clothing, jewelry or other items on that are contaminated with chemicals and/or obstructing your access to the burn, then make sure that you remove these items before you being treatment. Leaving these items on may cause further damage. You will also need to be able to access the burn site to brush off any leftover dry chemicals and irrigate the area with water. If you receive a burn from a chemical, you should first dilute the chemical compound. This is the best thing you can do to treat a chemical burn right away. To do this, flush the burn and the surrounding areas of skin with copious amounts of water. The water should be cool. Let the water run over the burn for 10 minutes or more.  Don't use a high pressure stream of water to wash the skin. Too much water pressure can make the chemical burn worse by driving the chemical deeper into the skin. Just use light irrigation by holding the wound under a gentle stream of water and keep it there for a long time. Some chemical burns should not be treated with immediate irrigation. These include dry lime, elemental metals such as sodium, and phenol. This is because combining these chemicals with water causes a harmful exothermic (heat-producing) reaction and/or releases hazardous byproducts. For chemicals in the eyes, remove contact lenses and use an eyewash.  These are found in...

Ask her what she’s up to and subtly suggest doing something together. Follow her lead when it comes to hanging out. Try being clear and direct. Take her at her word.

Casually proposing that the two of you do something together can remove some of the anxiety and worry you may feel about asking her outright about her feelings for you. For example, you can ask her what she is doing tonight or this weekend. If her plans are open or not fixed, you can share what you would like to do and ask her if she wants to go to along with you.  If she says she’s busy, it could mean she’s not interested but it could also mean she’s actually just busy. Ask her if there are any other days that she would be free to do something and see what she says. For example, you can ask: What are you doing this weekend?” If she says “Nothing” or “I was thinking of seeing a movie,” then you can say “I was planning on going to the movies, want to go together?” If a girl is texting you about a restaurant she really wants to try, a test she is worried about, a movie she would like to see, or some school event like a party or dance, she may want you to ask her about it. Follow-up on her conversation with a subtle invitation to do the things she is interested in, with you.  For example, if she has been talking about trying a new pizza place nearby, tell her you have also been wanting to try it and suggest that you go together. If there is a school event coming up that she has been texting you about, tell her you have been looking forward to it and see if she wants to go with you. Maybe she’s been texting with you about an upcoming exam in a class you both share. This is a great opportunity for you to suggest getting together to study for it. If all else fails and you still aren’t sure how a girl feels about you, you can always just ask her directly. If she is really into you, it’s unlikely she will say “no” if you ask her about it. Depending on how bold or certain of yourself you are feeling, you can let her know you like her first, and then ask her if she feels the same.   By making the first move, you are taking the pressure off, which she might appreciate, especially if she is shy. Be prepared for her to...

Pay attention. Take notes Ask questions. Participate. Avoid distractions in the classroom. Develop positive relationships with your teachers. Sit near the teacher if you can. Take advantage of extra credit!

If you want to be a successful student, then paying attention in class is absolutely crucial to your success. While you don’t have to love every single subject that comes your way, you should be motivated enough to listen to your teachers, to avoid texting your friends, and to be focused enough to really hear what your teacher is telling you, and to be able to pick up on the most important aspects of each lesson.  In order to pay attention, it’s important to keep your eye on the teacher. If you’re confused about something, you can quickly ask for clarification. If the lesson goes on and you feel yourself getting more and more lost, it’ll be hard to pay attention. . Taking notes is also crucial to your success as a student. Not only will taking notes help you study later, but doing so will also keep you engaged in the classroom, and will help you learn the material because you’ll have to jot it down in your own words. Some people even use different highlighters or pens to organize their notes as they take them to really help them absorb the material. Taking notes will make you feel more accountable in the classroom and will help you listen to your teachers. If you really want to succeed in the classroom, then it’s important that you ask your teachers questions, when it’s appropriate, in order to get a stronger understanding of the material. You shouldn’t interrupt the lessons, but you should ask questions if you really have them in order to avoid being confused and to prepare for your exams. Asking questions will also keep you active in the discussion and will help you learn the material, too. At the end of each class, you can also review your notes and prepare questions to ask the next time if anything is unclear. Some teachers want you to wait until the end of the lecture to ask questions. If this is the case with your teacher, be respectful of that. If you want to succeed as a student, then it’s important for you to participate in class. You should not only ask questions when you have them, but you should...

Add paint thinner and stir your paint. Wash your model car. Paint the smaller pieces of your model first. Apply paints using even, consistent strokes. Allow your model car parts to dry before applying additional coats.

There are paint thinners that have been created specifically for model use. If you are using a specific brand of paint, use the same brand of paint thinner. If you can't find paint thinner or want to create your own, combine 50% distilled water with 50% of propyl alcohol and your paint in a 1:1 ratio. Thinning out the paint lightens the consistency and enables you to make more consistent coats. Use a mild dish soap and cold water with a rag to wash off your car. Remove any particles of dust that may have built up on the surface of the car as a result of sanding. Wipe the model dry before moving onto the next step. Dip your brush into your paint and fill in the more intricate pieces of your model, like the mirrors first. Make sure not to paint over areas where your model will fit together, or you may have trouble assembling your model correctly. Get a variety of different sized brushes to make painting easier. You can use either a synthetic or natural-haired brush to paint your car models. Continue to paint over larger parts of the car. Do not dab or scrape with the brush unless you are doing specific detailing. Instead, you want to achieve an even coat by making long and even strokes. Popular paints for model cars include Testors, Model Masters, Humbrol, Tamiya, PollyScale, Floquil, and Vallejo. Allow your model car to dry overnight before going back to apply additional coats to the model. Continue to work at painting your car, applying the paint as evenly across the model as possible. Apply painter's tape to finished details so that you don't ruin them when applying additional coats of paint.

Find out if your school has a School Lunch Advisory Council. Get to know your school’s nutrition staff. Talk to your principal about nutritional guidelines for school events. Encourage your friends to make healthy choices.

If you’re passionate about making nutritious food options available to yourself and your classmates, getting involved in a SLAC is a great option. Talk to your teachers or the school administration about whether your school has a SLAC and, if so, ask them how you can join. Even if your school doesn’t have a council dedicated to nutrition, you may be able to get involved by joining a more general student advisory group or a school nutrition club. Talk to your school’s administration about setting up a meeting with the cafeteria manager or other members of the nutrition staff. During the meeting, you can ask questions or bring up any concerns you have about the school menu. You can also ask them about ways you can get involved in promoting better nutrition at school. Your cafeteria manager can also help connect you with the nutrition director who is responsible for menu planning for your entire school district. While lunches and snacks offered in school cafeterias and vending machines are carefully regulated in many areas, food options for school events and fundraisers are not always subject to the same rules. Ask your principal about setting rules about what kinds of foods and snacks are allowed at after-school events, classroom parties, and fundraisers. For example, you might work together to establish a rule that soda cannot be served at school events. As a student, you can use the power of peer pressure for good! Set a good example for your friends and classmates by choosing good lunch and snack options and encouraging them to do the same. Don’t tease or put down your friends for choosing less healthy options. Instead, focus on the positive. For example, you might say, “Hey, have you tried the salad bar? It’s actually really good!”

If you want to get your parents to agree to your request, you need to be willing to compromise

Choose the right time. Don't get emotional. Use "I" statements. Be willing to compromise. Be prepared for a no.

Never talk to your parents when they are angry or stressed--they'll be less likely to listen to your arguments, and even less likely to say yes to your requests. Plan ahead of time and choose a time that allows for a conversation that isn't tense or rushed.  Plan ahead of time by choosing both a time and place that will make you relaxed and comfortable. It also helps to plan what you will say ahead of time. Choose your arguments, research your topics, and even write out a script to prepare yourself. Although it may be a topic about which you're passionate, avoid getting angry or begging. Try to speak in a level tone without raising your voice, and make sure you present your arguments--by stating the facts, you're able to avoid emotional appeals.  Avoid raising your voice, whining, interrupting, storming off, and slamming doors.  If your emotions start to get the best of you, take a deep breath and take a small break from the conversation. Come back to it only when you are composed and ready to continue. I statements help you to make an assertive statement without the receiving party becoming defensive and closed off. Listen to your parents' argument, describe how you feel, how the decision affects you, and how you hope for it to change.  For example, you can start the conversation by saying "I feel that I'm mature enough to grow out my hair." Follow it up with "I feel like a child when I'm not allowed to make decisions about my personal style." Lastly say something like, "I would like to grow my hair out to prove to you that I am still a responsible and mature individual." Be willing to "meet in the middle." Not only does compromising show that you are mature, but it can keep both parties happy. Promise that you won't grow your hair any longer than shoulder length, or agree that you won't add any wild colors or styles.  Promise that you'll get your hair cut every once in a while, trim dead ends, keep your hair looking nice, etc. Remind them, that long hair can always be cut, so it's not like you're trying to...

Don't try to paraphrase too much information at once. Focus on the sentences that most effectively support your ideas or arguments, and condense them into a paraphrased statement. If you want to use a longer section of text, it's better to write a summary.  A summary is broader than a paraphrase because it focuses on the main points of an entire section of text and provides an overview of the text as a whole. A paraphrase focuses on one main idea or concept within a larger work. Choose a quote that directly supports your argument. For example, you might choose statistical data contained within an article or an expert's opinion about the issue you're writing about. the quote by identifying the main ideas and supporting details. Identify what the author is saying, such as their main point or argument. Then, note how they support those ideas. What does this quote mean overall?  Be detailed in your notes. This will help you understand the quote, plus you can condense your notes into a paraphrase. For example, you might choose this quote: "Despite expectations, installing metered ramps did not decrease the congestion levels on the highway. Travel times from downtown to the nearest suburb averaged 40 minutes before meters were added to the ramps. After installation, travel times averaged 38 minutes, a difference which is not significant." In this quote, the author's main idea is that metered ramps did not solve congestion issues on this highway, and their supporting details are statistics specifying the similar travel times before and after the installation. If you can express the same ideas in different words, it’s a good idea to use a paraphrase when including it in your paper. This ensures more of your paper is in your own words. Plus, you don’t want to include too many quotes.  If you’re citing data, facts or statistics, paraphrasing is your best option. You can use paraphrasing to avoid having too many direct quotes in your paper. A paraphrase condenses the ideas in a quote and changes the original language....

Pick a store that you know well in order to easily locate your particular item. Or, go to a store outside of your neighborhood in order to avoid running into people you know. Try going to a specialty sex-shop. The best part of buying from these types of locations is that you can easily play it off like you are buying a joke gift for a friend, or a party favor for a bachelorette party. This could also reduce your sense that someone may be judging you negatively by your purchase. Going with a friend or partner can help deflect some of your embarrassment by serving as a social buffer or even a distraction for your embarrassment.   Ask your partner to join you on your trip to the store. Tell a friend you need moral support in buying your embarrassing item. Buying just the personal item can feel like it is drawing attention to yourself and may lead to increased feelings of embarrassment. Instead, buy multiple items in order to camouflage your purchase. Get a bag of chips, gum, or soda to lessen the embarrassment. The more items the better. Using coping strategies when buying sex-related items, such as going to a checkout stand with a similar person to yourself (the same gender and around the same age as you), can reduce embarrassment. This is a very common coping resource for avoiding embarrassment in purchasing personal products. It can be very embarrassing to checkout sexual items with a different sex or someone with a huge age difference. If you can't find someone like you, try to find the person that is the best fit or that you think will produce the least amount of embarrassment for you. This helps to draw less attention to yourself, and reduces the likelihood of engaging the cashier in small talk in order to avoid an awkward moment.  Be polite, but avoid too much eye contact or small-talk with the cashier. Look at a magazine in the checkout stand. Text or be on the phone while waiting for checkout. This may reduce the feeling that someone is watching you or judging your purchase. Studies have shown that...

Meditate Eat slower. Drink water. Keep your diet easy. Feed your mind with thoughts of who you want to become. Be confident. Monitor the mental chatter.

. You know all that chaos in your head? The running thoughts, the worries, the pointless mental wanderings? Meditation, even just 10 to 15 minutes a day, can help clear your mind and focus your energy. And it's 15 minutes to relax! Why not give it a shot? There are even guided meditations apps like Timer and Headspace you can use to get you going.  It'll be so much easier to budget your time when your head is clear and you've destressed . A little meditation can get rid of all that noise and pressure that we all have in the day-to-day. Don't knock it till you've tried it -- you could be surprised by just how effective it is for you! Alright, not a meditation fan? Then try yoga. Not only will you burn 5 calories a minute, but you'll get that same zen feel like you would in meditation. That mental sigh of relief or breath of fresh air -- now that's life improvement! Food is meant to be enjoyed, not scarfed down on the way to something else. Taste it. Relish it. Enjoy it. When you eat slower, you get more out of your meal and you actually eat less. Your body has the time to register what you're putting into it and appreciate it. When you practically swallow your food whole, it's gone before you realize it and you're just left wanting more. This is a good mantra for pretty much everything. "Stop and smell the roses" has more truth to it in this day and age than ever before. So when you're sitting with your best friend over coffee, think about how great it is. When you're watching the sunset, think about the beauty in front of you. So many people don't even realize what's in front of them! Yep, drinking water will make your life better. It can help you lose weight, clear up your skin, cleanses your body, helps you poo and makes you feel more energized on the whole. It's the liquid of life. All those empty calories from soda and alcohol just keep you cycling between buzzing and crashing, which is no way to be healthy! Health is such a big part of the game -- but you never think about it when you have it. The second...

Pull out the crown on the side of the Armitron watch until it clicks once to set the date. Turn the crown until the correct date appears in the window. Pull the crown until it clicks twice to adjust the day of the week and time. Rotate the crown until the day of the week is correct. Adjust the time by rotating the crown. Push the crown all the way in to set the time. Finished.

The crown is the dial on either the left or right side of the watch face. Pinch the crown in between your fingers and pull it out until it clicks once. If you hear more than 1 click, push the crown back in and pull it out slowly. If your watch doesn't display the date, then the crown will only pull out once to set the time. You may skip this step. Rotate the crown clockwise or counterclockwise depending on your watch model. Keep turning it until the correct date is in the window on your watch face. If you only needed to change the date, push the crown all the way in to set it. Avoid adjusting the date on your watch between 11 PM and 5 AM since that's when it advances to the next day. If you have a watch that displays the day/date, pull the crown until it clicks twice. If your watch doesn't have that display, simply pull the crown until it doesn't go any further. Turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the watch model you're using. Spin the hands for 2 full rotations around the watch face to move forward by 24 hours. Keep turning the crown until you reach the correct day of the week. Don't set the day of the week between 11 PM and 5 AM since this is when the watch will advance it. Once you have the day of the week and date set, turn the crown until the hands point at the correct time. Get as close as you can to the right time so your watch is accurate within a minute or two. The hands won't start moving on their own until you press the crown back in. Once you've made all of your adjustments, press the crown all the way in so it starts again. Check the watch periodically throughout the day to make sure it maintains the correct time. If the watch keeps falling behind, you may need to replace the battery.

Allow yourself to smell coffee and be around it. Make a ritual out of preparing your replacement beverage. Notice how refreshed and calm you feel once you .

Try not to restrict yourself from being in coffee shops or smelling cups of coffee. Sometimes the smell of a fresh cup can be comforting enough, even if it isn’t for you. Coffee can have social qualities, and you may miss meeting up with friends for a chat at a coffee shop. You should still allow yourself the opportunity to meet up with friends at the local java spot, but substitute your regular coffee order with an herbal tea or hot water. This way, you still get the social benefits of talking over a hot beverage without indulging in coffee. Another element of coffee you may miss is the ritual of preparing your first cup in the morning. Create a ritual out of making your replacement beverage so it feels as important and essential as your cup of coffee. Over time, you may end up enjoying your replacement beverage more because you are able to prepare it and make it just the way you like it. If your replacement beverage is tea, you may want to read up on how to brew tea properly. You can also invest in a brewing basket, which you can place in a teapot or a travel mug to steep loose tea leaves properly. Many people who  permanently report back with feelings of calm, alertness, and contentment. Once you get through the withdrawal symptoms, you may have very few cravings for coffee and feel like you could give it up completely.  You may decide to cut back more on coffee but still indulge in it occasionally. This may mean having tea in the mornings and then one cup of coffee in the afternoon, or having only tea one day and then one cup of coffee the following day. Another option is to cycle through your coffee habit, where you have coffee for a month and then give it up for one month. Then, the following month, you may gradually drink more coffee to build up your tolerance. Over time, your body gets used to caffeine and can become immune to the effects of caffeine, especially if you tend to drink coffee on a consistent basis. Cycling through your coffee habit can allow your body to maintain a balance and feel the...

If you have a cubic zirconia, you can clean it

Mix warm water with mild dish detergent. Scrub your cubic zirconia with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse your cubic zirconia completely. Pat dry your cubic zirconia with a soft cloth.

Abrasive cleaners can damage cubic zirconia. All you need is some mild dish detergent from your kitchen and a bit of warm water. The precise ratio of detergent and water for a routine cleaning does not have to be exact, but strive for about one part detergent to two parts water. You can dunk the jewelry briefly to get it wet. You can also simply apply your water/detergent mixture to your toothbrush. Gently scrub down your cubic zirconia with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt and debris and achieve a healthy shine. If you don't have a spare toothbrush on hand, cubic zirconia can also be cleaned with a soft cosmetic brush. A brush used for eye shadow, for example, would work well. It's important not to leave any soap residue on cubic zirconia. After washing your cubic zirconia, rinse it under the faucet until the water runs clean. Letting cubic zirconia air dry can cause damage. Use a clean cloth to gently dab the zirconia dry. Keep dabbing until there is no moisture left on the jewelry.

You need to be able to move quickly and change direction quickly.
The scissors is a great move to use in a game of soccer. It's a great way to get the ball to the other side of the field quickly. It's also a great way to get the ball to the other side of the field quickly

Start with the ball a foot or so in front of you, slightly to your right. Stay up on the balls of your feet throughout. Spring off your left foot as you're landing, transferring weight to the right foot. Land your right foot 1-2 feet to the right of the ball. Change speed after your touch to blow by the defender.

If this is the first time performing the move, practice without the ball moving or at a very slow jog. If jogging, take a light touch so that the ball is rolling forward as you approach it. You want to keep the ball close to you throughout the move. While you can practice the first few standing still, you should work on both still and moving scissors to be effective in a game. You never want to come down completely on your feet with a heavy landing. You need to be able to spring in either direction in an instant. As you come around the ball, shift your weight towards the right. This both fakes out the defender and allows you to land on the right foot, which you push off of to go left. You need room to get your left foot around the ball and touch it away from your defender. Make sure you're landing on the balls of your feet, not your heels, so you can spring up quickly. As you land, begin bringing your left foot to the right side of the ball. A change of speed is essential to pull off any move, and the scissors is no different. Use your left-footed touch to burst into a quick sprint, blowing by your defender before they realize the fake.

The vertex of the parabola is at the point (−2,−25)\).
The vertex of the parabola is at the point (−2,−25)\).
The vertex of the parabola is at the point (−2,−25)\).
The vertex of the parabola

Plot the x-intercepts on the coordinate plane. Find the axis of symmetry. Find the vertex of the parabola. Determine the direction of the parabola. Draw the parabola with a solid or dotted line. Shade the graph.

An x-intercept is a point where the parabola crosses the x-axis. The two roots you found are the x-intercepts. For example, if the inequality is x2+4x−21<0{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x-21<0}, then the x-intercepts are x>−7{\displaystyle x>-7} and x<3{\displaystyle x<3}, since these are the roots you found when using the quadratic formula or factoring. The axis of symmetry is the line that cuts the parabola in half. To find the axis of symmetry, use the formula x=−b2a{\displaystyle x={\frac {-b}{2a}}}, where a{\displaystyle a} and b{\displaystyle b} correspond to the terms in the original quadratic inequality. For example, for the inequality x2+4x−21<0{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x-21<0}, you will first calculate x=−42(1){\displaystyle x={\frac {-4}{2(1)}}}:x=−42{\displaystyle x={\frac {-4}{2}}}x=−2{\displaystyle x=-2}. So, the axis of symmetry is the line x=−2{\displaystyle x=-2} The vertex is the high or low point of the parabola. To find the vertex, first change the original inequality into an equation equal to y{\displaystyle y}. Then plug the x{\displaystyle x} value you found for the axis of symmetry into the equation. For example, if the axis of symmetry is x=−2{\displaystyle x=-2}, plug -2 into the equation and solve:y=(−2)2+4(−2)+−21{\displaystyle y=(-2)^{2}+4(-2)+-21}y=4−8−21{\displaystyle y=4-8-21}y=4−8−21{\displaystyle y=4-8-21}So, the vertex of the parabola is at the point (−2,−25){\displaystyle (-2,-25)}. To know the direction of the parabola, look at the a{\displaystyle a} term of the inequality in standard form. If the a{\displaystyle a} term is positive, the parabola will “right-side up,” meaning it opens towards the top. If the a{\displaystyle a} term is negative, the parabola will be “upside down,” meaning it opens towards the bottom. Since the a{\displaystyle a} term in the inequality x2+4x−21<0{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x-21<0} is positive, the parabola will be right-side up. If the inequality is greater than or equal to (≥{\displaystyle \geq }) or less than or equal to (≤{\displaystyle \leq }), draw the...

Give the paint time to cure. Don't cut directly on the counter. Use heat mats. Avoid abrasive cleaning products.

Depending on the type of paint you used for your countertop, curing time could take anywhere from a couple hours to several days or even longer than a week. During this time, it's important that you don't put anything heavy on the counter, don't get it wet, don't have food near or on it, and avoid disturbing it as much as possible.  If you don't give the paint time to cure, it could smudge, get dented or marked, or not adhere properly to the surface. Check the paint can for the manufacturer's instructions regarding curing time for the paint you used. Whenever your cutting or chopping, always use a cutting board to protect the paint and the counter surface. This will prevent scratches, chipping paint, and other dings and marks. To protect your knives and keep them sharper for longer, use wood cutting boards instead of plastic, bamboo, or glass. Heat mats will protect both the paint and the laminate from damage. Never put a hot pot or item directly on the counter, and always place a trivet or heat mat on the counter first. The same applies in the bathroom, and you should never put hot styling tools directly on the painted counter. Hot items can burn or melt the paint, leave scorch marks on the laminate, warp the counter, and separate components within the Formica. Use sponges and cloths, and clean the counter with liquid cleaners and soaps when necessary. Avoid scrubbing pads and harsh powder cleansers that could strip the paint from the surface.

Search for stored passwords on the account holder's computer. Write down what you know about the password's creator. Make use of any relevant information. Talk to people who might know the password.

If you have access to the physical machine from which the account holder works, they may store their commonly-used passwords in a document somewhere.  Most computers allow for a cursory search of documents from within a search bar (PCs) or the Finder app (Macs). Try typing in keywords like "password", "account", and "user name" (or "username").  Be sure to search for hidden files as well. This can be information ranging from their date of birth to their favorite pet's name. The goal here is to figure out possible answers to their security questions as well as candidates for their password itself. For example, their favorite pet's name followed by a number might be a password. If you can't figure out their password based on general guesses and they don't have an explicitly labeled password file on their computer, try using everything you know about them to guess the password. Some helpful information may include the following:   Personal information (e.g., their favorite pet's name) - This can help you guess their security questions, which often allow you to bypass a password if you enter them correctly.  Social media details - If you're friends with them on social media (or you know someone who is), their likes and interests listed there may be reflective of the answers to their security questions as well. Especially if you are a parent attempting to view a child's account or an employer investigating fraud, you probably have the authority to speak with people who may know something about your target password.

You can use a degreaser to remove oil stains from your car’s interior.
If you have a car that has a lot of oil stains, you may be wondering how to get rid of them. The first thing you should do is to take a look at the interior of your car. If you

Understand the enemy. Scrape off any excess oil or grease. Blot the stain. Apply baking soda to the stain. Remove the baking soda. Clean the carpet with dry cleaning solvent if residual stains remain. Scrub with a degreaser. Steam the stained area.

Whether you rubbed oil or grease on your interior ultimately doesn’t matter for cleanup purposes. Here’s why:  Oils are defined as any compounds that are insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents (non-polar things like gasoline), and liquid at room temperature.  Grease, on the other hand, is simply an oil that has additives to make it semi-solid (kind of like Jell-O) at room temperature. These additives are solid and do not absorb into the surfaces inside your car.  This means that, once you scrape off any excess contaminants from the surface of your interior, the stain left behind is an oil stain. Cleaning oil from cloth seats requires the same process you would use to clean it from carpet. You can use a paint scraper, spoon, or knife. It doesn’t matter if you use metal or plastic, but be cautious not to puncture your seat. This will remove any residual oil or grease that is left sitting on the surface of your interior. Use a dry paper towel or shop towel to do this. This will soak up the oil. Allow the baking soda to sit for 10-15 minutes. You can vacuum it up with a shopvac or sweep it up. If there is a large amount of oil, you might put more baking soda on the stain and repeat this cycle several times. If there is any stain left, you can repeat the process as long as you continue to see improvement. Instructions for sponging and blotting with a particular dry cleaner will be included on the manufacturer's bottle. Once you can no longer tell that this method is making a difference, you should move on to another method. A detergent such as Dawn is often enough to break up oil stains, especially fresh ones.  You can also buy other over the counter grease/oil removers such as Goo Gone. This is the most common and straightforward way to remove a grease or oil stain. If a degreaser didn’t knock out the stain, you may need to use steam to coax it out. The steam will heat the fibers of your carpet and open up any pores in the fiber. This allows the carpet to “release” any trapped oil and gives you the...

Get the proper equipment. Get the right bait. Get a fishing license.

This usually means getting a rod, reel, and some fishing line to spool on. The rod should only need a 6 to 8 pound test. Perch are smaller fish, and do not require complicated or expensive equipment. You may also want a cooler or stringer to hold you fish, especially if you catch several, or want to keep fishing after a catch. Live bait is best, and perch prefer minnows and insect larva. Many anglers have also found crayfish meat to be popular with perch as well.  Get the right lures. If you can't get live bait, artificial lures such as plugs, jigs, and spinners are good ways to draw in perch.  Yellow, white, and yellow-white designs seem to be the most popular, but perch have been known to favor other colors and designs.  Perch are smaller fish and move quickly, so you'll need a lure that reacts to less movement and is easy for you to keep an eye on. Some states require a fishing license depending on where you fish and what kinds of fish you are searching for. Make sure you know your state's laws, and that your license is up to date. Be sure to check if the license comes with any catch limits. You don't want to get in trouble for taking too many fish. Plus, that isn't fair to other anglers.

Increase street lighting. Incorporate CCTV. Inhibit traffic, help pedestrians.

This is a proven way to reduce crime in an area. Dim lights make it easy for crime and criminals to operate unnoticed. By placing more lights and brighter lights in poorly lit area, you can help to reduce crime.  Programs in England that improved street lighting conditions were found to “irrefutably” reduce crime in those areas.  A similar study of parks in Los Angeles found that keeping parks lit at night also reduces crime in the areas illuminated. By placing CCTV cameras outside to monitor criminal activity, you can help apprehend criminals in the event that you capture a crime on video.  In Chicago, research shows that for every $1 spent on cameras, more than $4 was saved in court costs, incarceration, and pain and suffering associated with prevented crimes.  Cameras work best to deter criminals when there are a sufficient number of them which are visible. High traffic areas that are not pedestrian-friendly can be havens for crime. Drive-by shootings rely on open, fast-moving streets. Areas without sidewalks, which favor cars over pedestrians, make it easier for criminals to operate.  Operation Cul-de-Sac in Los Angeles was proven to effectively reduce homicides connected to drive-by shootings. They set up traffic barriers to cut off car access for certain streets.  Bridgeport, CT found success with their “Phoenix Project”. Planners implemented a complex street modification program. By changing and controlling the flow of traffic in their city, they had a 75% reduction in crime.

Add some decorative panels to the back of your bookshelf. Use ribbon to trim the edges of your bookshelf. Drape a flower garland or battery-operated string lights over the top of the bookshelf. Add some lights to the inside of the bookshelf.

Measure the spaces between the shelves of your bookcase, and cut pieces of cardboard or foamboard to fit using a craft knife. Spray the cardboard with some spray-on adhesive and cover it with a piece of colorful fabric. Trim off the excess fabric and turn the panel over so that the back/undecorated side is facing you. Place a square of double-sided foam tape on each corner. Pop each panel into the spaces between the shelves. Press down on the corners to make the tape stick. You can also use drawer liner, wallpaper, or even wrapping paper. The drawer liner does not need to be glued onto the cardboard, as it already is sticky on the back. Choose a ribbon that is the same width as the edges of your shelves. Cut the ribbon so that it is the same length as the shelf. Apply some double-sided tape along the edges of your bookshelf where you want the ribbon to be. Press the ribbon down onto the tape. You can also use scrapbooking tape. It comes in many different colors and patterns. Stick the end of the tape onto one of the ends of the shelf, and roll it across the edge. When you get to the other end of the shelf, snip the tape off. You can secure them by taping the rope part to the top corners of the bookshelf. You can also drill a tiny hole into each top corner of the bookshelf and twist in a small cup-hook; the garland or lights can drape over this.  You can purchase flower garlands and battery-operated string lights at an arts and crafts store. Most flower garlands are between six and eight feet long. You can trim them down to the width of your bookshelf using a pair of wire cutters, or you can leave the garland as it is; the ends will drape against the sides of your bookshelf. Purchase a set of battery-operated shelving or cabinet lights and some double-sided foam mounting tape. Peel the tape off the card and stick it to the back of the light; try to get it as centered as possible. Peel the backing off, and then press the light to the underside of the shelf.

Bell's Pals

See your doctor immediately. Take prednisone. Take antivirals. Use over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers.

Treating Bell's Palsy is easiest if given prompt attention. If you have unusual feelings in your face or an inability to control your facial muscles, let your doctor know as soon as possible. They can determine if the problem is Bell's Palsy or a different medical issue, and determine the best treatment plan for you. Signs that you may have Bell's Palsy include:  Trouble closing or blinking one or both eyes Difficulty controlling facial expressions Twitching Drooping eyelids Drooling Difficulty tasting Dry eye or mouth Excessive tearing of the eye This corticosteroid is an anti-inflammatory that your doctor may prescribe. Your doctor may prescribe you to take it for a week, then reduce the dosage for the following week.  As an anti-inflammatory, prednisone may help reduce the swelling of the facial nerve causing Bell's Palsy. It may also relieve some of the pain caused by muscle tension.  Before taking prednisone, talk with your doctor about possible drug interactions, especially if you are taking birth control, blood thinners, or have pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, HIV, or heart problems, or if you are pregnant or nursing. Acyclovir is an antiviral medication that is used to fight herpes simplex (which causes cold sores), but it may also help treat Bell's Palsy. It is not certain that acyclovir alone can have this effect, but it is often prescribed in combination with prednisone as a treatment for the disorder. The combination of acyclovir and prednisone as an effective treatment suggests that Bell's Palsy may be caused by herpes simplex. Bell's Palsy may cause pain in addition to the loss of muscle control and other symptoms. Taking OTC pain relievers such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen can help reduce your discomfort. To prevent harmful drug interactions, always talk to your doctor about taking any over-the-counter medications if you are currently on any prescription medications.
