Hold the stereogram in front of you. Relax your eyes. Wait for the image to come into focus.

For the best results, you should have the image approximately one foot in front of you. As with the other methods, don’t try to focus on stereogram. Instead, try focusing on an object or even an imaginary dot behind it. With the stereogram in front of you, look at the image but allow your eyes to naturally diverge so it becomes blurry or even doubled. This can be a difficult thing to master, but it should be similar to what happens when you’ve been reading for a long time and your eyes can no longer focus on the words.  If you’re having trouble relaxing your eyes, try “daydreaming” as you look at the stereogram. That can often help you naturally unfocus your gaze. If you relax your eyes, they naturally look apart, which is why the images you see are blurry. To see the stereogram's hidden image, you need to allow your eyes to diverge at different angles until you find the right one for the image to appear. Continue you look at the stereogram with an unfocused gaze until you begin to see a blurry 3D image take shape. It make take a few minutes, so it’s important to be patient. Eventually, it will sharpen until you can see the stereogram image clearly. It may help to "blink" at the stereogram. Close one of your eyes and look at it with just the other one. When the image starts to come into focus, open the eye that you'd previously closed to help make it sharper and clearer.

Create a new document. Set-up your margins and orientation. Insert columns. Visualise the columns. Download a template (Optional).

Open your Microsoft Word from your computer. In the standard toolbar, you want to click “New Blank Document”. Don’t forget to immediately begin saving to prevent any lost content. Though the process may slightly vary, this will also work in other word processors such as OpenOffice, LibreOffice, AbiWord or Microsoft Wordpad. To set up the proper leaflet orientations, click into the “File” menu. From there, click “Page Setup” and “Margins”. Margins should be set to 0.5”. Assuming you want a traditional leaflet, you will also need to change the page orientation. This is done by going to “Orientation” within “Page Setup” and clicking “Landscape.” A leaflet will have a column on each page. To insert columns, click on “Format” from the upper toolbar. Choose “Columns”. Under the “Presets” tab, change the number to three. Under “Width and Spacing” you will need to edit the space to twice of the margins (1.0”).  The spacing is the gutter in between the columns. If you’d like your columns to be less wide, increase the width. In order to see where the lines are visualized, click “Line between” under the “Presets” tab within “Columns”. This will give a thin line to show the boundaries between each column. This will help in the planning and structuring of your leaflet. If you wish to remove these lines after completion but before printing, simply uncheck the box again. If you don’t like the leaflet you’ve made, you can download one built by Microsoft. Do this by clicking “File”, then “New”. From here, select “Brochures and Booklets”, then “Brochures”. An extensive library of brochures, including tri-fold brochures will come up.

This is key to getting into the party, you have to act as if you belong there.  If you have nerves about getting in, do your best to hide them.  Appearing hesitant can mark you out as a crasher.  Walk in with confident body language and a smile. You want to arrive at the party when it's in full swing.  Don't go too early or too late as things are winding down.  Arriving at the peak of the party means you are less likely to be noticed as an uninvited guest. This can be a useful way of getting inside the party.  Join a big group as the enter and you might be able to slip in without attracting attention. This is particularly useful if you are trying to crash a more formal party or an organized event.  Try the back door, which may not be manned by security or the person with the guest list. You may have to go through the kitchen, so make sure you are polite to the kitchen staff but don't linger, walk through quickly and with purpose. Some parties, like those held at conferences or business events, require all guests to wear badges.  Here are a few ways you can get hold of a badge.  Ask a friend if you can borrow their badge.  If you already know someone attending, this is a great way to get in.  Even better, make a new friend and they may give you theirs! Ask someone who is leaving to give you their badge.  Don't begin by asking for their badge, engage them in conversation first.  Perhaps start by asking if they enjoyed the event.  Eventually, work your way up to asking if they would give you their badge, you can say you misplaced your own.  Check the trash can.  Often as people leave events they throw away their badge.  Look in the floor, and, if you are really keen, the trash can, for any discarded badges. This applies particularly to house parties.  If there is a crowd gathered outside, strike up a conversation with the friendliest looking person and ask them how they know the host.  Once you know the host's name you can use this to get into the party.

Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of clear fluids. Consider nasal rinses to flush out viruses.

Despite your best efforts, you may still come down with the flu while at school. Although you may be under a great deal of stress, plan accordingly so that you can get a full night’s rest. If you can manage it, stay home and sleep. The best information we have says complete bed rest is best. While water is the purest clear liquid that exists and can help people rehydrate during a bout of stomach flu, consider making yourself a cup of tea as well.  Make sure to drink decaffeinated tea only and try to add lemon and honey if possible, as lemon thins mucus, and honey is antibacterial.  Sports drinks are another option, but sip them slowly, as the high sugar content may not react well to your stomach. Some people swear by nasal rinses as a means for helping to ease colds/flus. If you feel inclined to try this method, consider an in home recipe: Mix 3 teaspoons iodide-free salt and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Add 1 teaspoon of this mixture to 1 cup distilled or cooled boiled water. You can use either a syringe, squeeze bottle or neti pot when doing the rinse. The basic technique with all the devices is the same, so choosing a system is largely a matter of personal preference.

If you’ve dropped glitter on your carpet, you can use the tape method to remove it

Use coconut oil to remove glitter from your face and skin. Use olive oil to remove glitter from your hair. Vacuum your carpet with a hose attachment. Use a wet cloth on tile and hardwood flooring.

Pour a small amount of coconut oil into your hand. Rub the substance onto your skin gently, right over the glitter, using circular motions. The sparkly bits will loosen and dislodge. Soak a large cotton ball with water and run it over the same area of skin. This will remove the oil and get rid of any remaining pieces of glitter on your skin. Hop into the shower and pour a liberal amount of high quality olive oil into your hands. Massage the oil into your hair, taking care to work it all the way down to the scalp. Leave the oil on your hair for at least ten minutes, then rinse it out thoroughly. The glitter will wash away with the oil and your hair will feel silky smooth. If you have oily hair, apply your regular shampoo, work it into a lather, and then rinse the oil and shampoo from your hair thoroughly. If you’ve dropped glitter onto your carpet, get out your vacuum cleaner and use the hose attachment to suck up as much of it as possible. Do not use the attachment with the brush on the end, or the glitter will become embedded in the bristles and spread around your home. Follow up with strips of tape to get the stubborn pieces out of the carpet. Get as much of the glitter up as you can by using your broom. Be sure to rinse your broom bristles out later – otherwise, the glitter will spread. Then soak a cloth with water and wipe down the flooring. The glitter should stick to the cloth. Run it under the tap to rinse the glitter off, then continue wiping the floor down until you’ve removed all of the glitter.  You can use the tape method for any stubborn pieces of glitter that remain. Use a cloth for this – don’t use your mop. The glitter will embed itself into the mop fibers and can be difficult to remove.

Track your sleep patterns. Pay attention to how often you're hungry. Track your sexual arousal. Ask someone to track your fidgeting.

Everyone has days now and then when they feel worn out or tired. But your orexin levels might be low if you feel sleepy or fatigued every day, and sometimes find yourself falling asleep during the day. Low orexin levels can cause a condition known as narcolepsy. If you find yourself falling asleep suddenly during the day, see your doctor immediately. Low orexin levels can cause changes in your appetite. If you find yourself hungry all the time, and if you can't control how much you eat, low orexin levels might be to blame. Another symptom of low orexin levels is a lack of sexual arousal. If you've noticed a change in your sex drive or your level of arousal during sex, your orexin levels may have dropped. If you fidget a lot, your orexin levels might be low. Ask someone who spends most of the day with you to keep an eye on you. You won't always notice when you're fidgeting, but they will.

This is a very simple recipe. It's a great way to use up butterm

Fill your jar halfway with cream. Shake the jar. Pour out the excess liquid.

Simply pour the cream into the jar. You do not need to fill the jar more than halfway. The precise amount of whipping cream you use depends on the size of your jar, but it's usually around 2/3 of a cup. Seal the jar and shake it vigorously until the cream begins to form into butter. This takes a great deal of effort and it may be awhile before you see results. Have patience and keep shaking the jar. Eventually, butter will begin to form.  After awhile, you will see the heavy whipping cream solidifying. It will begin to form a yellowish color resembling butter. You will also see some liquid separating from the butter. This is a normal part of the process. Not all of the cream will form into butter. It's normal to have some buttermilk on the top. Keep shaking the jar until there is a clear separation between the butter at the bottom of the jar and the liquid on the top. Open your jar and select another container, such as a Tupperware container. Slowly pour out the liquid from the top of the jar. This is buttermilk, which is used in a variety of baked goods. If you bake frequently, it may be worth it to save the buttermilk.  If a little butter slips out when you're pouring out the buttermilk, do not worry. You can use a spoon to scoop it out of the container and place it back in the jar. As butter may slip out, do not drain the buttermilk over the sink. Even if you intend to discard the buttermilk, drain it into a container.

It's a green box with a white "X" on it. The Microsoft Excel home page will open. This option is in the upper-left side of the Excel home page. A blank spreadsheet will open. On Mac, skip this step if Excel opens to a blank document. Your heading should include the following information:   Company name - The name of the company to whom the invoice funds will be allocated.  Descriptor - The word "Invoice" or a description of the type of invoice it is, such as "Price Quote" if you're quoting a price for your services to a client instead of billing for them.  Date - The date on which you're writing the invoice.  Number - The invoice number. You can either use a global numbering system for all your clients or individual numbering for each client. If you choose to number for each client, you can include the client name or a form of it in the invoice number, such as "Westwood1." This information should appear near the top of the invoice, with your information above the client's.  Your contact information should include your name, your company's address, a phone number, and an email address. Your client's information should include the company name, the name of the accounts payable person, and the client address. You can also include the client's phone and email address. You can devote a column to a short description of the product or service, a column to quantity, a column to unit price or rate, and a calculated column for the total price for the quantity purchased of that item. This should appear below the calculated column of individual charges and can be generated with Excel's SUM function.  For example: if you have $13 of work in cell B3 and $27 of work in B4, you might put the formula =SUM(B3,B4) in cell B5 to display $40 in that cell. If you used an hourly rate (e.g., $30) in cell B3 and a number of hours (e.g., 3) in B4, you would instead write =SUM(B3*B4) in cell B5. This can appear either above or below the billing information. Common payment terms are "Due on receipt," "Due within 14 days," "Due within 30...

Recognize the nature of your illness. Identify the cause. Accept that your alters are real, at least for the time being. Expect to experience amnesia. Know that you will experience fugue states. Understand that depression is common in people with DID. Be aware that anxiety is also common in people with DID. Look for other mental health symptoms. Watch for auditory hallucinations.

You are a single, whole individual with different identities. Each separate identity (or “alter”) is your own, even if you feel that you have no control over them. Recognizing this basic fact will give you a sense of personal identity and help you learn how to manage your condition. DID is most common in women, and it is almost always connected to childhood trauma, often in the form of brutal and sustained abuse. As painful and difficult as the process might be, understanding the cause of your dissociation may help you heal. Others may tell you that your alters don’t exist, that you created them yourself. This is not true, as you did nothing on purpose to create these alternates or your disorder, otherwise, they wouldn't be considered involved in mental health issues. Instead, they are referred as your alter egos, i.e. you made up your own "personalities". Alter egos and DID are both very different. Alters are not independent people. However, if you are living with DID, these alters feel very real. For the time being, it may be best to acknowledge their apparent reality and learn to cope with their existence. If you have DID, you may have two kinds of amnesia. First, you may have forgotten or blocked out painful or traumatic life experiences; recall that many people with Dissociative Identity Disorder had such experiences as children. Second, you may develop amnesia and a sense of “lost time” whenever one of your alters takes over your consciousness. Because one of your alters may take over at any given time, you may find yourself away from home, unsure of where you are or how you got there. This is called a “dissociative fugue.” If you have Dissociative Identity Disorder, you may also experience symptoms of depression: disturbed sleep and appetite, persistent sadness, and, in some cases, suicidal thoughts. If you have Dissociative Identity Disorder, you may also experience symptoms of anxiety. You may notice that you feel very worried or panicked, sometimes without understanding why. In addition to amnesia,...

If you want to break through the growth barriers at your church, you need to firmly believe that God wants those barriers torn down. Before you can believe it, though, you also need to listen for God's voice and make sure that this sort of growth is His will for your church. There are two systems of belief regarding church size. The first states that God wants all churches to grow. The second states that God has a need and a place for both large and small churches. Regardless of which camp you fall in, if you want your church to grow, you need to have confidence in the belief that breaking through these growth barriers is something God wants for your individual church. Once you believe that God wants to grow your church, you also need to have a firm conviction in your personal desire to see it grow.  The idea of growing your church can scare many church leaders into inactivity and complacency. Dissolving the barriers that prevent growth is hard work, and the steps aren't often clear-cut. While the fear can be both strong and warranted, if you let it control you, you won't be able to get anything done. Once you make the decision to start growing your church, you need to stick with it. It shouldn't be your opinion that the church needs to grow—it should be your conviction. As long as there are a few seats left each Sunday, you might think there's already plenty of room. If your church reaches 70 percent of its seating capacity, however, visitors are less likely to show up and stick around.  Determine how many seats you have in your main worship space and multiply that number by 0.7. Compare that percentage with your average attendance from last month. If your attendance is greater than 70 percent of your seating, it's time to expand. Expand according to your resources. You may need to move to a larger building, or you might be able to build an addition onto your current one. When space gets tight and physically expanding is not an option, the next best thing to do is to introduce a new worship service time....

Reserve space as early as possible. Get a permit for outdoor weddings on public property. Consider seasonal weather when planning your ceremony.

This is a concern for nearly any wedding. However, it matters especially if you intend to have a large reception or you want to reserve a  historic Florida location, like Sarasota's John and Mabel Ringling Estate, the St. Augustine lighthouse, or the Carillon tower at Bok Tower Gardens. With Florida's balmy climate and dazzling locales, outdoor weddings are understandably sought-after. If your wedding is on public land, be sure that you have valid permission and documentation to avoid embarrassing legal snafus.  Florida's public beach parks require a permit before having a ceremony on-site. Some of these permits are free while others cost money. For Florida beach weddings, inquire at city hall. For government-run parks such as Fort DeSoto in Pinellas county or Bahia Honda State Park, contact the ranger station or park headquarters. Florida is well-known for its hot, subtropical climate. However, many visitors are not aware that it actually has a pronounced rainy season for much of the year. This is important to know, especially if you're having an outdoor ceremony. As a very general rule:  The dry season lasts from October through April for most of the state. The wet season lasts from May to October for most of the state.

Get physical. Use art or other calming hobbies as an outlet. Use technology.

Any sort of frustration (physical or otherwise) can be alleviated by physical exertion. Sports like kickboxing or martial arts are especially effective. It'll fill your time, take your mind to another place, and get your adrenaline pumping which is a healthy alternative. Any exercise is good, even yoga, weight training, and standard cardio. Not only is it good for you mentally, but physically to boot. If you're not much of a sports or fitness freak, find more artistic hobbies for an outlet. These activities can be incredibly cathartic and calming; what's more, a reduction in anxiety may reduce your frustration. The less stressed you are about the rest of your life, the calmer you'll be about this. Consider painting, cooking, at-home DIY projects, candle or pottery making, taking up an instrument, carpentry, woodworking, or any hobby at all that appeals to and gets you in the zone. You'll be cultivating a talent, too! With today’s technology, long-distance relationships have never been easier. If you're sexually frustrated because your love is far away, use Skype, Facetime, or just sext. It's not the same, but it can certainly help!

Start with small steps telling you how much you miss them and how you want to touch them and watch it flower from there.

Spend time with people who love you. Make a new friend or enter a romantic relationship. Adopt an animal companion. Be kind to others.

This may be your family or it may be a group of trusted friends. Spending time with people who really know you and love you for who you are is a remedy for emptiness. Focus on building and strengthening your relationships with these people. You can find meaning in the simple act of spending time with a loved one who takes pleasure in your company. Spending time with friends and family can also help reduce stress and give you a deeper sense of belonging. Reduce the time that you spend with people who are harmful to you, even if they don’t mean to be. If you must spend time around someone who is hurting your self-esteem or making you feel powerless, make sure your meetings always have a time cap. The pleasure of meeting someone you connect with and letting the relationship grow in unexpected ways is a terrific antidote to feelings of emptiness. A new friend or love interest can help you have rich new experiences and show you that you're an interesting, lovable person. Suddenly the world can seem like it has a lot more to offer than you previously thought. Making friends can also help you to have a deeper sense of purpose and belonging.  Sometimes it's difficult to make new friends and meet people, especially in later years when you're no longer in school. Joining clubs, taking classes, or spending time in a favorite hangout are good ways to meet people. Practice being more generous with your time and saying "yes" when you're invited to do something. If you feel you never have enough time to give new relationships, they won't grow. Research has shown that having a pet can make life feel fuller and more meaningful. People who own pets are also less likely to suffer from depression and may experience health benefits from owning a pet as well.

Consider examination and treatment for the people around you. Know how treatment progresses. Recognize the primary stage. Recognize the secondary stage. Recognize the latent stage. Recognize the tertiary stage.

Since yaws are easily transmitted through skin contact, it is best to let the people that live in your household get tested for yaws as well as take the treatment if they are infected. Treated areas which are previously endemic for yaws should be reexamined within 6 months and at intervals there after so that missed cases and their contacts can be treated. There is 100% cure rate among yaws patients in the early stages of this disease. Nevertheless, treatment cannot reverse or change the destructive or damaged changes in the late or tertiary stage of yaws. Here are the specifics:  Yaws lesions become non-contagious within 24 hours from the start of treatment. Joint pains resolve in 25 hours to 48 hours of treatment. Complete healing of the initial and secondary lesions occur within two weeks to four weeks from start of treatment. It begins by the organism entering the body through a skin defect such as a bite site, abrasion or scratch. After about 3 weeks a reddish, painless and itchy small swelling develops at the entry site. The primary lesion heals spontaneously after 3-6 months.  Yaws has an incubation period of 9 days to 90 days followed by the appearance of this primary papule, called the mother yaws.  The swelling then ulcerates with a honey-brown crust formation. The ulcer may enlarge in size to about 2–5 centimeter (0.8–2.0 in). The crust sloughs out to expose a reddish base. The discharge from the ulcer is rich in organisms rendering the patient highly infectious. There is a gap of 6-16 weeks between the primary and secondary stages. During this period the organisms spread via the blood to different parts of the body.  There are skin lesions similar to primary yaws but they are smaller in size (maximum 2cm). They tend to develop around the mouth, nose, axilla and anus. These lesions also ulcerate and discharge infectious fluid. They heal spontaneously within 6 months. There may be painful swelling of bone surfaces particularly hand and foot bones. After the secondary lesions heal, the patient...

Select a bean or legume variety to sprout. Soak legumes in warm water. Let sprout for about 3 whole days. Dry off the sprouts and store them in the refrigerator.

Perhaps the heartiest and the most famous sprouts are the bean sprouts. Legumes sprout thick protuberances that are nutritious and taste great, full of active micronutrients and flavor. Common legumes for sprouting include:  lentils, green or brown especially chickpeas or garbanzo beans mung beans, which are commonly sold in stores as "bean sprouts" green peas Start with about a half cup of dried beans (they tend to plump up some as they absorb water and shake their hulls). The water shouldn't be steaming, but warm to the touch, like a cup of tea you've let sit a bit too long. In your sprouting jar, soak the beans for at least 12 hours. Because the legumes will plump up considerably, make sure there's enough space in the jar and cover the beans by several inches to make sure they'll stay submerged. Rinse the beans twice a day, and store them upside down to drain properly as the sprouts grow. Sometime the first or second day, you might need to shake the jar slightly to remove the hulls. You can add some water and swirl the jar gently to remove them. If some stay on, don't worry to much. You'll be able to pull them off before eating, if necessary. Adzuki beans typically need about 4 days to sprout to their fullest and most delicious potential. Give them some extra time. After the sprouting period is over, you can remove the sprouts from the jar, gently dry them out and remove any extra hulls that haven't separated, or you can leave them on (they're edible, though somewhat bitter). They should be good in the fridge for about a week, if you keep an eye on them and keep them relatively dry. Bean sprouts are particularly good as a topping for broth-based soups, like Vietnamese pho or other spicy dishes. They're also perfect on salads and sandwiches.

You can make a gift bag for almost anyone.
The first step is to decide what you want to put in the bag. You can do this by asking yourself, “What do I want to get from this person?” For example, if you know the person is a fan of a certain artist,

Set a budget. Focus on quality over quantity. Make sure the goodies reflect the recipient. Select useful items. Keep it simple.

Tailor your budget to fit the relationship you have with the recipient. In other words, you'll probably want to spend more on a close friend than a co-worker. Regardless of who the person is to you, give yourself a budget. Adult goodies can get pricy very quickly, so it's good to have some limitations in place. Instead of handing over a giant bag filled with mostly useless and throwaway items, aim for fewer items that are stylish, sophisticated and useful. To keep yourself on track when selecting items to put in the bag, continually ask yourself, “Is this something I would appreciate receiving myself?” For a friend, choose upscale items that are tailored to what you know about them. For people that you don't know well, choose items that are a little more neutral that anyone could enjoy.  For an artist friend you could put all art-related items in the bag, like paint brushes, a small paint set, a book about their favorite artist, a beautifully bound sketch book and/or two tickets to an art film showing in your city. For a co-worker you could use a dark brown coffee-themed bag and cream colored tissue paper. Inside you could put a nice mug, a few bags of high-end coffee, a small bag of bakery-made biscotti and a gift card for Starbucks. Everyone appreciates receiving things that are useful and functional. Gift cards fall into this category and since these days you can get a gift card to almost anything, tailor your choice to the person. Restaurants, department stores, craft stores, wine shops, book stores – the possibilities are endless.  Other ideas would be movie tickets, sports tickets or tickets for a night at the symphony. Smaller useful items are great too – travel sized hand sanitizers that are high end or decorated could be included, or a well-designed pen. Don't go overboard with your choices – pick 3 to 6 quality items that are well-made and nice to look at and leave it at that. When paired with the sophisticated, well-designed packaging you've created, even the smallest of gift bags come off as...

Cut down the thistle to its base to stress the roots. Dig out the roots if you only have a few sprouts. Cover the area with plastic, cardboard, or 3 in (7.6 cm) of straw mulch. Plant grass seed to combat thistles in your yard or a field. Let livestock munch on your thistle if it’s in a large field. Introduce insects that eat thistle.

Mow or cut the thistle right before or during the flowering stage so it can’t distribute its seeds. Then, cut it again as soon as you notice new growth. This will deplete the roots and make it hard for the thistle to survive.  If you’re dealing with creeping thistle, it’s best to cut it when it reaches 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) long. Typically, this will happen around early June. Don’t let the flowers dry out because they’ll spread thistle seeds. Since thistle can grow roots as deep as 20 ft (6.1 m) deep, it’s easiest to dig it up when it’s just started growing. Use a shovel or trowel to dig up the ground around the root system. Then, remove all of the roots and discard them in the trash.  If the roots already go deep, you'll likely need to use multiple strategies to get rid of your thistles. Dig up as much of the root system as you can. Then, watch the plot and immediately cut down any thistles that sprout back up. Don’t put thistle roots or part of the thistle plant in your compost pile. If you do, it will likely blossom in the compost pile and spread from there. Since thistle needs lots of sunlight to grow, mulching may prevent it from sprouting up. If you don’t mind covering an entire plot, use plastic mulch or pieces of cardboard to cover the thistle patch. If you’re trying to get rid of thistle in a border or flower bed, add several inches of mulch around your plants. This will allow the plants to continue to grow healthily while also choking off the thistles. When you first plant a border or bed, use plastic mulch around the plants to prevent thistle from sprouting up. This will take care of the problem before it starts back up. Thistles need a lot of sunlight and water, so competing plants can sometimes kill them. Grasses, especially alfalfa grass, are an easy option for adding competition to a large area. Sprinkle the grass seed over the plot and let it kill your thistles.  If you leave a plot empty, thistles will continue to grow there because it’s an ideal environment. It’s best to mow the plot...

TL;DR in English: Don’t worry about the cost of college. If you’re good at programming, you’ll be able

Decide between school and self-taught. Choose your major carefully. Learn computer languages. Design your own game. Narrow down your focus.

Expect employers to value technical know-how most of all. So don’t fret if the cost of tuition for higher education is beyond your means, because a degree isn’t strictly necessary to find employment. At the same time, though, recognize that technical proficiency coupled with a degree will probably make you stand out over other candidates. Whichever route you choose, put all your emphasis on becoming a proficient programmer. Coasting will only leave you ill-equipped for interviews and the job in question. If you decide on college, be wary about specialized degrees in game programming. Expect these to cover all of the many different aspects of game programming in a relatively short amount of time. Favor a major in Computer Science instead if you aren’t already proficient in the subject.  Each aspect of game programming takes a lot of time to master. Studying computer science in depth is more likely to equip you with the necessary skills to tackle each one, even if those skills aren’t directly applied to games during the course of your studies. If you do consider a specialized degree, research the people who are teaching it. Professors who understand the concepts of game programming, but who have never worked in the field themselves, may not be the best people to learn from. Whether you go to school or teach yourself, aim to master at least one computer language. Focus on C++ to increase your chances of being hired, since this is used the most often in game programming. Other languages that are helpful include:  Actionscript Assembly C Java Objective-C Python Swift Remember: the best way to learn how to do something is to actually do it! Once you learn how to code in computer languages, apply your skills. Build a game from the ground up to grow more familiar with the whole process, from start to finish. As you do, you should:  Keep it basic. Don’t worry about revolutionizing games as you know it. To make an analogy, write a simple short story, not James Joyce’s Ulysses. Copy another game if needed.

Decide how thick you want your slices to be. Create a guide with a piece of scrap wood and clamps. Put on a dusk mask/respirator and protective goggles. Make sure you have a firm grip on the tree branch. Locate all of the knots in the wood so you can avoid them. Turn on the bandsaw and glide the branch into the blade. Put the slice aside and repeat, if desired.

If you are making wooden coasters, you may want your slices as thick as 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). If you’re making ornaments or other crafts, you might want slices closer to 0.125 inches (0.32 cm). Think about what thickness you need. When using a bandsaw to make thin, small slices from a tree branch, it's best to use a branch that is 6 inches (15 cm) or less in diameter. Different band saws have different capacities, however, so you may want to check the product manual first. Locate a piece of flat scrap wood (such as a 2 x 4). Use your tape measure to determine how far from the blade you need your branch to be. Clamp the piece of wood onto your bandsaw at that distance. The flat edge of the wood will act as a guide for your wood slices.  If you want your slices to be 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) thick, your branch needs to be 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the blade. If you are right-handed, clamp the guide onto the left side of your saw. If you are left-handed, clamp the guide onto the right side of your saw. Operating a saw and working around fine sawdust can be dangerous. Wear a dust mask or respirator to prevent yourself from breathing in the dust. Goggles will shield your eyes from dust and wood chips. A tree branch is not flat or smooth, which can make it more difficult to cut. Be sure you have a very firm grasp on the branch before you begin cutting. Stop and readjust your grip as needed. Sawing through a knot in the wood can be dangerous. Before you begin, evaluate the branch for knots. Skip over any places where knots are located. Do not attempt to saw through a knot. A knot is a circular area where the wood is condensed. Look for a circle shape that protrudes slightly from the branch. Hold your branch perpendicular to the blade, so that the top of the branch rests against your guide. Maintain a solid grip on the branch as you carefully slide it into the blade. Repeat this until you have enough slices.  You can also use a miter saw for this project, which may allow you to make more precise cuts. It really just depends...

Outline your colored lips with concealer. Highlight your cupid’s bow. Contour beneath your lower lip.

To bring focus to your lips and make them appear larger, it helps to use concealer to outline them. Use a very small concealer brush to carefully apply your favorite concealer around the edge of your lipliner. Make sure to carefully blend the concealer into your skin so it looks natural. This technique can also help clean up any mistakes you may have made when applying your lipliner or lipstick. Don’t just use your highlighter to accent your cheekbones -- dab a small amount of your favorite powder or cream highlighter on the small indentation above the center of your top lip known as the cupid’s bow. That will bring light to the area and help your lips appear fuller.  Blend well so the highlight looks natural. Make sure that you apply the highlighter all the way along the groove that runs from your cupid’s bow to the bottom of your nose. You can give the illusion of a fuller bottom lip by using contour powder. Use a small, fluffy brush to lightly dust contour powder or bronzer just beneath the edge of your lower lip. Make sure to blend well for a natural look.

Your non-padded bra should fit comfortably and correctly. Wearing a padded bra while taking the measurement can prevent an accurate measurement. If you don’t have a non-padded bra, you can purchase a cheap one at stores like Walmart and Target. Take the inch side of a measuring tape and place it firmly around your body just underneath your breasts and below your armpits. Keep your arms as close as possible to your body to get an accurate measurement of your band size. If this becomes too difficult for you to do yourself, ask a friend to help. Look in the mirror to make sure that the tape is parallel to the floor along your back and breasts. You shouldn’t have any fingers underneath the measuring tape. To get the most accurate band size, round the number up to the closest whole number and then add five to allow room for the increase in bust size as your pregnancy progresses. For instance, if the measurement you obtain is 39.5 inches (100.3 cm), rounding up to the nearest whole number is 40. Adding 5 inches (12.7 cm) would mean that your band size is 45 inches (114.3 cm).

Assemble the ladder before you place the posts in the holes. Use the 2x6 to connect the posts. Mark the posts where the rungs will go. Cut the rungs to the appropriate size and shape. Fasten the rungs to the posts.

This will make it easier to build. After you attach all of the posts and insert the ladder into the hole, you will need to measure the top and bottom of the ladder to make sure that they are evenly spaced. Then cement the ladder. Saw the board to 45-46” (1.1-1.2 m) so that it’s just the right length to bridge the gap between the vertical supports and complete the frame, which is 42" (1 m) wide. Line up the ends of the 2x6 with the outer edges of the posts and nail or screw it down at both ends. This piece will serve as the upper portion of the frame.  You'll need to stand on a ladder or step stool while affixing the top piece and individual rungs. Buying precut lumber will save you some time, if you don’t mind paying a little extra. That way, all you’ll have to do is assemble the individual pieces once you get them home. Your starting point on the Salmon Ladder will be decided primarily by your unique stature. You want it to be low enough to climb safely and comfortably, but not so low that you’re forced to stoop or crouch to get in position. Once you’ve decided on the optimal placement for the first set of rungs, space every next set 12" (30 cm) apart.  A good way to determine where to put the lowest rungs is to reach up along the frame with one hand (without stretching too far) and draw a line on the side of the post. Measure and mark each set separately and use a flat board or straight edge to make sure they’re evenly aligned. 12” (30 cm) rung spacing is the official standard used for the American Ninja Warrior course, but yours can be more or less as you see fit.  For beginners, 6" (15 cm) rung spacing can be helpful for learning how to do the Salmon Ladder. Starting on one end of the 2x4, draw a line at a 30-35 degree angle every 12” (30 cm). Saw the board along these lines to fashion the individual rungs for the ladder. Keep in mind that you’ll need an even number of rungs, one for each side.  If you are spacing your rungs at 6" (15 cm), then you will need to draw your lines every 6" (15 cm) instead of...

Cuttings taken during cooler weather will not root.
The best time to take cuttings is in the spring, when the plant is actively growing.
Cuttings taken from plants that are actively growing will root.
Cuttings taken from plants that are not actively growing will not root.
Cut

Take a cutting from an herb plant between spring and fall, when the plants are healthy and growing steadily. Avoid cuttings on plants that are currently flowering. Focus on cuttings from new growth, rather than old growth. Avoid cuttings from plants that have been overly fertilized. Water herb plants thoroughly at least 12 hours before taking cuttings.

Many herbs slow down growth when temperatures begin to drop, so cuttings taken during cooler weather may not root. The cutting is not likely to root strongly while flowering because the plant's energy is focused on the flowers, not the root. If you do take a cutting from an herb that is flowering, remove the flowers from the cutting before propagating. The new growth on most herbs is lighter in color and higher up on the plant. The new growth is most likely to root because the stems aren't as hard. If a plant has been heavily fertilized to stimulate growth, it is unlikely a cutting will take root. Rather, take cuttings from healthy plants that are growing steadily without the need for excessive fertilizer. Well saturated plants are likely to produce healthy cuttings.

If you have a healthy orchid, you can prune it. If you have a sick or dying orchid, you should not prune it.

Inspect the leaves of your orchid to ensure it’s healthy enough to prune. Watch for new flowers to develop in 8-12 weeks.

If the base of the plant has glossy, green, firm leaves, then it is healthy enough for pruning. However, if the leaves are yellow, brown, dry, or limp, then the plant is not healthy enough for pruning. Give the plant a chance to get healthy before you prune it.Make sure that you wait until all of the flowers have shriveled or fallen off before trimming to encourage new flowers to grow. The speed at which your orchid will flower again will depend on its overall health, climate, and care. However, in general you can expect new flowers to bloom about 8 to 12 weeks after you prune your orchid.If no flowers bloom within 8 to 12 weeks, try lowering the ambient temperature where your orchid is located by 5 °F (−15 °C). This may help to stimulate new growth.

Allow the court to order the terms of the buy-out. Learn about community property laws. Create a co-ownership agreement for a fixed time until the divorce is settled and final. Decide on the best way to refinance. Transfer the deed.

If your divorce is contested or communication breaks down during the divorce process, you can let the court craft the terms of the buy-out and force your ex-spouse to comply with documentation, deed, and asset transfer requirements.  It is better to make every effort to work it out with your spouse, even if you have to split the cost and sit down with an attorney to craft an equity buy-out agreement. The court's decision will not take personal feelings, market conditions, and future plans into account. The result may be a blunt force order with end results that don't work well for either party. If refinancing with a cash payment is the best option, you will need to time the new mortgage correctly. If you live in a community property state, refinancing can be complicated unless you wait until the divorce is final. If you must refinance immediately, consult a real estate attorney about the ramifications of community property laws on the transaction. Unless handled correctly, the refinanced loan could be considered a joint debt, defeating the purpose of the equity split. Both names remain on the deed and the loan, but the spouse who is staying in the house takes over the payments and receives credit for the additional equity that accrues during the co-ownership. Assuming you have the income and credit needed to refinance, you will have several different loan options to consider.   A conventional rate/term refinance trades the old mortgage for a new one. The balance of the old mortgage becomes the new loan amount. The problem with this type of loan is that you will have to come up with the cash to pay your spouse for his share of the equity.   A cash-out refinance allows you to finance a combination of the outstanding balance and the equity, receiving a cash payment. This type of loan requires a favorable loan-to-value ratio and solid credit.  There may be extra fees or a higher interest rate for this type of loan. If your ex-spouse is comfortable with his name remaining on the existing mortgage, you can take a...

If you have a friend who recently went platinum or underwent another dramatic hair color change, ask for the name of her hair stylist. You can also ask friends and family for recommendations on hair salons and stylists who they think might be able to make you a platinum blonde without too much damage.  You can also check out reviews of salons online to narrow your choices down. Look for salons that have high ratings from their customers. If you get some recommendations, check out the stylists Instagram or other social media feeds where they post photos of their work. If your regular stylist has experience with platinum blonde coloring, then you might simply go for a consultation with them. However, if you do not currently have a stylist or your stylist has expressed discomfort with taking you to this color, then call around to find someone who has experience turning people into platinum blondes. Try saying something like, “I want to go platinum blonde without too much damage to my hair, and my current hair color is ____. Do any of your stylists have experience with this type of situation?” After you find someone who has experience, you can make a consultation appointment. Sometimes you can just drop into the salon and see the stylist between clients, but it is best to ask first.  Try saying something like, “I would like to stop in and talk with the stylist before I make an appointment. Do I need to make a consultation appointment, or can I just stop by when the stylist is working?” Make sure to bring picture with you to your consultation so you can show the stylist what you want your hair to look like. Before you decide to make your first hair appointment with a stylist, it is a good idea to ask questions. This will help you to get a sense of how much experience the stylist has and how comfortable you feel trusting your hair to them.  How many times have you taken someone from a shade similar to mine to a platinum blonde shade? What process did you use to get the desired color without causing too much damage?...

Get a job. Track your expenses. Save money. Control impulse buying.

Having your own job builds positive character and will help you mature. Even if parents give you money, earning your own paycheck puts you on a path to success by giving you the opportunity to learn time management, job responsibility, leadership skills, team work, and life skills in the real world. Also, earning your own paycheck puts money in your pockets, and what you do with your earnings is up to you. Allowances, gifts, and paychecks will be your sources of income as a teenager. Learning to manage money starts with tracking how you spend that income. Create a money diary where you write down all of your spending for a given time period, either weekly, monthly, or yearly. Then, evaluate what you spend by deciding what is needed (such as gas, car insurance, phone bill) and what is entertainment (such as movie tickets, personal items, going out). Creating this diary will help you visualize where your money goes and can set you on the track to create a budget and savings. Once you earn money, it is very tempting to use it immediately. And as a teenager, it is easy to neglect saving money. In order to be more successful, learn that money can be saved for more-important spending opportunities. To help you save, open up a bank account. Banks can give many opportunities to teenagers. Get advice and research first before opening any accounts. Once you have one, figure out a monthly budget that will help you put aside money. When you start off, more than likely a co-signer or parent will have access to your account activity. Use this as a learning opportunity and ask for them to keep you in check of what you spend. Buying is almost always easier than saving. Small purchases can take a toll on your savings, and more often than not, those purchases could have been avoided. These impulse purchases are difficult for both teenagers and adults, so controlling these impulses at a young age helps ensure better money management throughout your life. Put yourself to the test and wait to buy items. Oftentimes, giving...

Consult with your doctor to understand your test results. Ask your doctor if your ESR is elevated or very high. Expect to take other tests to get a diagnosis. Aid treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with meds and physical therapy. Help control lupus flare-ups with NSAIDs and other meds. Address bone and joint infections with antibiotics and/or surgery. Get a referral to an oncologist if you’re diagnosed with cancer.

Just like most other laboratory tests, the normal ranges might be different depending on which lab your doctor uses. Sit down with your doctor when your results become available so you can talk through them together. In general, expect normal ranges to be:  Less than 15 mm/hr (millimeters per hour) for men under 50. Less than 20 mm/hr for men over 50. Less than 20 mm/hr for women under 50. Less than 30 mm/hr for women over 50. 0-2 mm/hr for newborns. 3-13 mm/hr for newborns to puberty. There are a number of conditions that could cause your ESR rate to be above normal, including pregnancy, anemia, thyroid or kidney disease, or cancers such as lymphoma or multiple myeloma. A very high ESR level might indicate lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or a severe infection located somewhere in your body.  A very high level might also be a sign of rare autoimmune disorders like allergic vasculitis, giant cell arteritis, hyperfibrinogenemia, macroglobulinemia, necrotizing vasculitis, or polymyalgia rheumatica. An infection associated with a very high ESR level might be located in your bones, heart, on your skin, or throughout your body. It could also be tuberculosis or rheumatic fever. Since an elevated or even high ESR rate could mean so many different things, your doctor will almost certainly perform other tests to understand what’s going on in your body. While you wait for your doctor to determine which tests you need, breathe and try not to panic. Discuss your fears with your doctor, family, and friends so you can feel supported through this process. An ESR test can’t provide a diagnosis on its own. Unfortunately, rheumatoid arthritis can’t be completely cured. However, it is possible to manage the symptoms and put them into remission. Your doctor will likely prescribe a combination of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, and steroids. Physical or occupational therapy can help you learn exercises to keep your joints moving and flexible. They can also...

Set the dye before washing black jeans. Remove stains with household cleaners. Use gentle settings when washing them. Do not dry black jeans.

When you first buy black jeans, you should set the dye once before washing them. To set the dye, fill a bath with cold water, one cup of vinegar, and one tablespoon of salt. Soak your jeans in the bath, both inside and out. This will set the dye before you wash your jeans. Small stains can be spot cleaned with household cleaners. This prevents the need to wash black jeans each time they get slightly dirty. Pine sol can easily be used to remove grease. In the event of a paint stain, dab it off with Mötsenböcker’s Lift Off. In the event you need to wash your jeans, use the most gentle settings on your washer possible. Use cold water and cycles like "hand wash" or "gentle wash." This will prevent the color from fading. Never put black jeans in a dryer. Always hang them up by their belt loops to dry. Make sure to keep them out of direct sunlight.

Many colleges require students to take electives as a part of their curriculum. Colleges often offer unique and fun classes including wine tasting, bowling, scuba diving, and self-defense classes. To take a break from demanding classes, try taking something that you will enjoy or learn a new skill. College campuses are notorious for having a club to fit just about any interest. If you have a hobby or interest, try and find a club to join. Or, if you can't find one, create one! Look around campus for flyers that advertise these clubs. Check high-traffic areas such as dorms, cafeterias, and/or classroom buildings. Sports can be a fun way to keep in shape and to meet new people. While you may or may not be able to get on the college football team, colleges often have amateur and co-ed sports clubs like hockey, soccer, or frisbee. Colleges may host special guest lecturers, celebrities, and/or bands. Watch your college special events page for more information on these events. Often, you can attend for free or a discount price. A number of colleges offer study abroad programs. Take advantage of this and visit a country you have always wanted to visit.  Check with your advisor about what programs are available. These trips can be expensive; make sure you can afford the means to go. Some study abroad trips can fulfill credits for a specific major. Talk to your academic advisor about this option. Colleges offer many opportunities for professional and personal development.

You may literally be at the end of your rope, thinking that there's absolutely nowhere else for you to turn. But you know what the best part of rock bottom is? It's that the only place you can go is up. You may feel like you have nothing to live for and that everything can only get worse, but the important thing to remember is that things will get better if you stick it out and make a game plan. Sure, your life won't be amazing overnight, but if you are aware that things can get better for you, then you'll be on the way to moving forward. When you feel a suicidal thought creeping up, just tell yourself that you know you can get through it and that you'll have better days. There are many people out there who deal with people like us every day of their lives. They are there because they want to help us, not make us feel even more miserable. It may seem like there is nobody in this world who can help you, but that's probably because you're not letting them help you. If you tell your friends how you're feeling then they are guaranteed to help you out. That is, if you let them. It's understandable that you may not want anyone's help, and that's completely acceptable. But you can't just keep having that thought linger in your mind forever.  If you feel that you are in danger of harming yourself and have no one to turn to, call the Emergency Services, your doctor, or check yourself into the ER as soon as you can. You should not be alone during this difficult time, period. You can also call a helpline if you're in trouble and want someone to talk to.

Find out if you have blurred close-up vision. Determine if you have difficulty with reading. Consider whether distant objects appear blurred. Ask yourself if you have difficulty seeing objects both close-up and far-away.

Blurred close-up vision is an indicator of farsightedness (also known as hyperopia). If you find it hard to focus on something that is close to your eyes you may have hyperopia. There is no single distance at which an object becomes blurry that equates to hyperopia.  The extent of your hyperopia influences your ability to focus on close-up objects, so the further away you have be to focus on something, to more pronounced you far-sightedness.  Having to sit further away from your computer or holding a book at arm's length are common indicators. If you are used to doing a lot of up-close work, such as drawing, sewing, writing, or working on a computer, and are finding it harder to focus on the task, this can also be a symptom of presbyopia, which is a type of farsightedness caused by loss of elasticity in the eye muscles. It is common to develop presbyopia as we get older.  You can check this simply by holding a book in front of you and reading it normally. If you are holding it more than ten or twelve inches away you may have presbyopia. If you find yourself moving the book further and further away from your eyes to focus on the words, this could be presbyopia. Often reading glasses will help with this. Presbyopia typically develops during the ages of 40 and 65. If you find increasingly that distant object appear to you as blurred, but nearby objects are clear, you may have nearsightedness (myopia). Myopia typically starts to develop around puberty, but can occur at any time in life. Like hyperopia, myopia is a question of degrees. But if you can read a newspaper fine, but struggle to read the board from the back of class, or find yourself sitting closer and closer to the TV, this could be it.  There is evidence that children who spent more time doing close tasks, such as reading, are more likely to develop myopia. Environmental factors are less significant than genetics, however. Instead of having difficulty seeing close-up or far-away objects, you might have a tough time focussing on either of them. If this...

Bring the skis in out of the cold. Secure the skis. Tie brakes out of the way. Consider the base edge. Remove burrs from the side edge. Sharpen and shape the side edge. Adjust the skis. Clean off old wax and dust.

After a long day of skiing, you will want to bring your skis inside to raise them to room temperature. If you proceed to wax a ski while it is still cold, there's a chance that you will bubble the base and create a lot more work for yourself. You can get started on the edging while waiting for your skis to warm up. Clamp the skis securely to a vise at a comfortable work height, on their side with the top of the ski facing you. If you don't have a a vise, place two chairs facing each other and weigh them down with heavy objects on their seats to make them stable. Lay the skis across the top of the seat backs, and fasten them securely with bungee cords. Make sure the skis are completely stable before you continue. You can put small pieces of cardboard between the skis and the vise clamps to prevent scratching. Use brake retainer bands or large, thick rubber bands to pull the ski brakes up and out of the way of the ski edges. This is the edge between the base of the ski and the side. For most purposes and ski models, this should be at a 1º angle.  While you can sharpen this edge in the same way as the side edge, described below, there is a higher risk of damaging the skis by scratching the ski base. If the base edge has become dull or in need of reshaping, getting this done at a ski shop is recommended. If you do this yourself, sharpen the base edge before you sharpen the side edge, using the same tools and process described below. Run your finger along the side edge of your skis, between the upper surface and the side. If you feel irregular nicks or rough patches, of if you see rust along the edge, file those areas down with a wet diamond stone, gummy stone, or bastard file. Hold the tool flat against the edge and push in long strokes over the rough patch, in one direction only. Repeat until the edge is mostly smooth. If your edges are already sharpened, don't run your finger along them, or you could cut yourself. Wear gloves or just use the stone a few times without testing. For the average skier, this should...

Examine the device for a small battery symbol or a plus and minus sign. Look for a compartment that slides off if there is no symbol. Check the user manual if you’re not sure where the compartment is. Remove any screws holding the compartment shut. Look at the compartment door to determine what size battery you need.

The battery compartment on a device can be almost anywhere. It’s usually on the back or the bottom, so check these places first. It may be marked with a small battery-shaped symbol, or you may see a plus or minus sign, indicating the polarity of the battery. These markings may be on the top or just to the side of the compartment door. If you don’t see any markings, you may be able to locate the compartment by finding a piece that slides or snaps off of your device. Look for lines in the case that don’t match the other seam.  You might also see a clasp or a lever that will release the compartment door. The battery compartment may also be held shut by one or more small screws. If you have the instruction manual to your device, it should have a diagram showing where the batteries should go. If you don’t have the manual, you may be able to find one by searching for your device online. If you’re looking online, make sure to include the brand name and model number, if you know it. Usually, the screws in a battery compartment are Phillips screws, meaning they have a cross-shaped dip in the head. To remove these screws, use a Phillips-head screwdriver with a cross-shaped tip.  If the screw is stuck, you may be able to remove it using a screw extractor. In the case of a watch battery, you may need to use a special tool to remove the back of the watch. Usually, the battery size will be printed on the compartment door. If not, the information may be located inside the compartment. If it’s not listed, you might have to estimate the size of the battery, or try different sizes until you find the one that fits.  AAA, AA, C, and D batteries are all 1.5V batteries, but the different sizes produce different currents, or the amount of power that comes out of the battery at once. AAA is the smallest traditional 1.5V battery, and is usually used to power small electronics. D is the largest 1.5V battery and usually charges larger items like flashlights. A 9V battery looks like a small box with snaps on top, and it's often used to...

Find time to practice every day. Make a practice schedule. Plan out your practice sessions in advance. Practice in short "bursts" with periods of rest. Practice interrelated skills when you have downtime.

To make the most of your practice you need to be working on your skill every day. Study after study has shown that consistently practicing a skill is far more useful than trying to practice for 4-5 hours once or twice a week. Even 15-20 minutes of practice 7 days a week cab be more effective than 3 hours once a week.   Sports: If you can't practice one day, try to get some exercise (run, bike, swim, etc.) in if you can.  Music: At the very least, run through your scales and 2-3 practice songs to keep practicing your speed and technique.  Intellectual: Make flashcards and review them daily when you do not have time to study. You want to make practicing a habit as natural as brushing your teeth. Choose a time to practice and stick to it every day. After 2-3 weeks, you brain will adapt to this schedule and prepare itself for "practice-time." Think of practicing like working-out: it is much easier to stay in shape if you have a set time to go to the gym .   Sports: Schedule practices 3-5 days a week, using extra days for exercise. Set aside one day a week for rest and recovery.  Music: Practice your instrument daily, aiming to work at least 1 hour each day.  Intellectual: It is much easier to learn something when you study each day as opposed to all at once the night before a test. Make a habit of practicing writing or studying daily, even if it is only for a short while. If you're learning an instrument, for example, you might set aside 20 minutes to practice scales, 20 minutes to practice chords and 20 minutes to learn a new song. Having a plan for your practice makes you more likely to stick to your routine and to visualize how you will improve.   Sports: Warm up for 15 minutes, work on skill drills (passing, shooting, etc.) for 20-30 minutes, play scrimmages or game-like situations for 20-30 minutes, then cool down with stretching for 10-15 minutes.  Music: Warm up for 10 minutes with scales, then practice your songs, chords, or new techniques. End with a review of old songs you need to know or have fun...

Though each production is different, odds are at least one of these two will become your new best friend. They definitely have expectations for the production and for you, so start off on the right foot by asking what those are! Are there any duties they want to do themselves? Some directors like to take things into their own hands. How do they want rehearsals run? Do they have any specific guidelines you should be aware of? And be sure to establish a routine where you two or three can check-in with each other post-rehearsal. Months before rehearsals begin, you'll need to start scheduling and coordinating. A good stage manager can take in all of the scheduling needs from the director, music director, vocal director, choreographer, fight choreographer, dialect coach, movement coach, production manager, costume designer, etc. and reasonably accommodate everyone's needs in a timely manner.

You need to soak quinoa for an extended period of time before you do anything else.  Make sure you add enough water so that the quinoa seeds are fully submerged. The temperature should be no warmer than 70 degrees F (21 degrees C). Allow the quinoa to soak for up to 30 minutes. There’s no harm in leaving them in there a little bit longer, but try not to forget them and leave them in the dish the whole night. This may weaken and dissolve some of the quinoa grains. Carefully drain the excess water from the sprouter or bowl over the sink. The quinoa should remain in the bowl or the sprouter. One good way to do this is by playing the edge of a spatula in front of the quinoa seeds. The water will still pour around the edges but the quinoa will remain in place inside the bowl. If necessary, use a strainer. However, it’s simpler just to keep the quinoa in the bowl. It’s okay if a little extra water is left behind as long as it isn’t too much.
