If your primary aim is to observe the squirrels that come to your yard to feed, make sure the feeder is located in an area that will be visible to you. Try attaching corn cobs to a bungee cord which is then hung from a tree limb or platform. Squirrels will perform acrobatics in an effort to feed on the corn, which is entertaining to watch. If the squirrels knock the corn to the ground, it largely defeats the purpose of employing a hanging feeder which is designed to make the squirrels “work” for the food....

If you plan on working with bleach, ensure that you have good ventilation. Have some rubber gloves ready. Look at pictures online or in magazines to get ideas. If you know how to draw, you can sketch your ideas out instead. You can also use a piece of masking tape to mark off sanding areas. A piece of tailor’s chalk or a dressmaker’s pen will work the best, but you can use an ordinary chalk or pen if you have nothing else....

Cats are more sensitive to scents than humans, so essential oils with strong odors, such as citrus and lavender, can help repel them. You can substitute lime, peppermint, and/or eucalyptus for the lemon, wild orange, and lavender if you prefer. It’s important to use a glass bottle for the spray because essential oils degrade more easily in a plastic bottle. It isn’t necessary to use filtered or purified water for the spray....

Be willing to quickly admit it if your favorite scissors or knife aren’t sharp enough to allow you to cut smoothly and safely. Your uncut hands will thank you later. Borrow or buy a can opener.

Having a well-stocked home may help alleviate the stress around cooking or getting a meal on the table. You’ll already be prepared with the basics of a meal. Pantry staples can include beans, canned vegetables with no salt added, canned fish, whole grains (like brown rice or whole wheat pasta) and nuts. Freezer staples can include frozen protein (like chicken or fish), frozen vegetables and fruit, frozen cooked whole grains (like brown rice or quinoa) and low-calorie frozen meals (for a night that cooking isn’t an option)....

A set is 2 or more cards of the same number A run is 4 or more cards numbered consecutively (e. g. a 1 card, a 2 card, a 3 card, and a 4 card) A wild card can be used to complete a phase when a player is missing one of the necessary cards A skip card allows the player who uses it to choose another player to lose their turn Hitting lets players discard cards they don’t want, so long as they play them immediately after a phase has been laid down; an example of this would be adding red cards to an initial play of 7 red cards (which is phase 8 of the game)....

For instance, when you go away from home, you need to arrange care of the birds in your absence. Do you know of someone who is capable of caring for the birds whilst you are away? If you travel as part of your job and are regularly away, ask yourself if it’s fair to leave such sociable birds alone and without your company for long periods of time. Ensure you have a safe environment for your bird....

Cutting from the base of the crayon to the tip is easiest, though you can also try working from side to side.

It can help to use a stone you know is real next to the suspect stone and fog both. You can watch how the real one stays clear while the fake one fogs over; if you breathe on fake diamonds repeatedly, you will see condensation start to build up. With each puff, the fake stone will fog up more and more, while the real one will still be clean and clear....

En dashes are typically used to separate numbers in a range, while an em dash can signify a break in a sentence. Stylistically, the em dash acts similar to parentheses, though it reads stronger. See this guide for more details on proper usage. If you are using a laptop, you will need to press the NumLock key first in order to activate the numeric pad. Pressing the number keys on the top of the keyboard will not result in symbols appearing....

If you have more than one keyboard language or layout, you’ll see a globe key instead. Tap the globe until you reach the emoji keyboard. You may have to scroll left or right through other emojis to find the heart symbols. If you find a key with a smiley face but the key also displays symbols and/or numbers, tap the key to open the number/symbol keyboard first—you’ll find the dedicated smiley face key there....

For example, “Eggs near river” is not a sentence because it does not express a complete idea. “I ate eggs near a river yesterday” is a sentence because it has a clear, complete meaning. “Because I ate eggs” is a sentence fragment because it is incomplete; “because” sets the reader up for a cause-and-effect, but there is no effect here. “Because I ate eggs near a river, I got wet” is a sentence because it completes the cause-and-effect established by the word “because....

For example, Nike speaks directly to its huge customer base with inclusive, positive messages like “Find Your Greatness” and “Just Do It!” If you’re selling eco-friendly clothing, you might appeal to your audience with a message like “Let’s Break the Cycle of Fast-Fashion Pollution. ” For example, if you’re selling running shoes, you might say something like “Run like Usain Bolt with the latest in our 500 series of runners!”...

“Hey, how’ve you been lately?” “I saw your most recent post online and just wanted to ask if everything is okay?” “I heard about what happened. How are you feeling?” “I remember you telling me that these next few weeks were going to be stressful for you. I just wanted to ask how you’re doing and see if there was anything I could do to help. ” “I’m sad that you’re in so much pain right now....

Congratulations to the Panthers and Broncos, the teams that will play in this edition of biggest game in American sports. Until there’s an NFL champion crowned, nobody knows whether it will be best Super Bowl ever played. But before then, Super Bowl 50 should at least be the best one ever hyped. No other Super Bowl has provided this many simple reasons to get excited. Cam Newton — If only the rest of the world would take a moment out of each day to dab and give a football to child, what a wonderful world it would be....

Susie, 50, and Tony, 61, Troxler got married 13 years ago and when they first began to struggle with naturally conceiving, they weren’t aware of the options that existed. “When we got married, we just assumed we’d get pregnant, and then it didn’t happen,” Susie said to Good Morning America. “But we’re both very old-school, and when we grew up, nobody even talked about or discussed IVF [in-vitro fertilization]. It wasn’t even a thing....

If you want to keep using the iPad after signing out, you can log in with a different Apple ID. If you plan on selling your iPad or giving it away, you’ll want to reset it first. This will erase all apps and data on your iPad and restore it to its factory settings. Additionally, you can remove your iPad from Find my iPad to keep it from being tracked....

Use this method if you want to sign up for different products, services, and mailing lists with an alternate email address so you don’t get inundated with offers and spam. You can then filter messages sent to your alias so they are labeled/added to a specific folder rather than appearing in your inbox. Your aliases will all be variations of your existing email address. So, if your email address is john....

Jump rings are the best decision if you want your hoop piercings to look as realistic as possible. Buy a large pack of different sizes so you can keep using them for fake piercings, or if you make a mistake and need a back up. Hoop piercings are usually worn on the lip, nose, septum, or eyebrow. If you use the jump ring for a nose piercing the gap is going to be smaller than if you used a jump ring for an eyebrow piercing....
