Soak a sheet of watercolor paper in cold water for 2 minutes. Remove the paper from the water and place it on a flat drawing board. Smooth the paper out with a sponge. Watercolor wash techniques won’t work if the paper is too wet. Tape the paper around all the edges firmly to the board, and let it dry.
You could spend most of the first day scraping off the old paint. If on the first day you only scrape, you must paint the second day, or at least before the next rain. You can also use diluted, mild detergent. Scrape off spiraled railings, ornate areas, and areas where one piece is welded to another using a wire brush attachment on a drill, or an “angle grinder” with a wire brush attachment....
Figure out your options for praying Witr. The Prophet gives options for praying Witr at night, such as deciding how many prayer units or rak’ah you will perform and when you will pray during the night. Make time for Witr while travelling. When the Prophet travelled, he still performed Witr. So, when you travel, you should also perform Witr. [4] X Research source If you are a university or college student, some schools now offer prayer rooms on campus....
If the measurements vary even slightly, you’ll need to adjust the door and/or the jamb so it is square before moving forward. For each of the measurements, hold the tape measure so it’s parallel to the ground. You don’t need to find the exact center of the door frame. Eyeball it so the tape measure is roughly at center. It’s a good idea to repeat the measurements to ensure that they’re accurate....
The sphere can be a small marble or steel ball. Make sure its diameter is no greater than half the diameter of the graduate cylinder so it can easily be dropped into the cylinder. A graduated cylinder is a plastic container that has graded markings on the side that allow you to measure volume. You can use a watch instead of a stopwatch, but your measurements will be more accurate with a stopwatch....
Lavender is widely available in grocery stores, drug stores, and online. Peppermint essential oil is easy to find in grocery stores, drug stores, and online. This oil may be more difficult to find. Try looking in the essential oil section of your grocery or drug store, but you may need to purchase the oil online. Look for these essential oils in a grocery store, drug store, or online. Rosemary oil, in particular, is great for hair growth....
It’s better to have too much hair dye rather than having not enough to cover all of your hair. You can also purchase the dye and developer separately from specialty hair product stores. Metal bowls can also cause hazardous chemical reactions. If you dye your hair regularly, having a dedicated bowl is best. A dark colored towel is another option if you don’t have an old towel or newspaper. It will adequately hide stains that are caused by the dye....
While you’re worried about coming up with something to say next or wondering how you came off after your last comment, it’s likely that the girl you’re talking to is wondering the same thing about herself. Instead of being so worried about sounding smart, funny, or interesting, work on making the girl you’re talking to feel comfortable. It’s likely that she has the same worries as you do, and if you focus on making her comfortable, then you won’t be so worried about yourself....
Some programs simply won’t work with WINE. If your EXE file won’t run on WINE, you’ll instead need to use Boot Camp. If you’re running anything lower than OS X Capitan, click the WineBottler 1. 6. 1 Stable option. Do not click anything else on this page while you’re waiting for the SKIP AD button to appear. If you’re using an ad blocker, you’ll first need to disable it for this specific page....
The firefighter’s hat will illuminate, the elevator floor indicator may blink, and the elevator will then indicate to passengers to exit when the doors open. Some buildings will have a dedicated firefighter’s elevator or elevator bank that services all floors and that can be used in an emergency. This lift can be used in fire service and will be labeled with “Firefighter’s Elevator” or “Fireman’s Lift”. Do not use the lift if an alarm was sent from outside one of the floor landings or machine room....

Shyness is simply an uneasiness around other people. People who are shy may feel uncomfortable in certain social situations, but this usually does not interfere with their daily lives much. If you are shy, you may be able to get past it simply by challenging yourself to partake in social situations that make you uncomfortable. Social anxiety may resemble extreme shyness. People who suffer from social anxiety typically have unreasonable fears of embarrassing themselves in social situations, which interfere with their ability to function in society....
Anything you cannot remove you should cover in painter’s tape to keep clean and protected. Generally, running your finger along the surface, top or bottom, will tell you if there is still a coating– it feels like a candle or a freshly waxed car. If you are in any doubt about the coating, go over the boat again – paint will not stick to this waxy surface, so it all needs to go....
Unless the existing surface is an oil-based stain or finish, do not use chemical strippers. Scrape as much off as possible and then use a trisodium phosphate (TSP) solution to clean off the rest of the loose paint and grime. Rinse well. If your wood is treated with a stain or a finish, apply TSP to the wood. Instead of trying to remove the stain or finish entirely, focus on cleaning and sanding it (more on sanding later) in order to give the paint a porous surface to adhere to....
If you want to channel school spirit, paint your nails alternating school colors. You can start with just one hand, or fully commit and alternate nail colors on both hands. Coordinate the color of your nails with an outfit of your choice. You could even match your nails with your shoes or jacket. On the other hand, if you prefer a less noticeable color, choose light shades that are close to your nail color....
Niyyah is the Islamic concept of performing an act for the sake of Allah. To truly perform wudu, you should center yourself and quiet your thoughts, focusing seriously on what you are doing (intending to perform wudu (ablution)). Niyyah is not said out loud and should be made in the heart; focusing on the phrase “Bismillah” (in the name of Allah) is a good way to accomplish the necessary centering. Say it out loud or silently to yourself, whichever makes you comfortable....
If the turtle repeatedly throws its head up in the air with its mouth open, it is trying to let you know that it does not like you touching its head. As an alternative to petting a turtle’s shell with your fingers, you can also gently rub a toothbrush or other soft-bristled brush along the top of its shell. Turtles will urinate when you pick them up, so use caution when putting them on your body....
If the last thing they gave you was a cool book, you could give them a book or movie in return, but you probably shouldn’t give them a nice watch or piece of jewelry. If the last gift you received from them was incredibly thoughtful, like a photograph in a frame, or homemade cookies, you should go for a similarly thoughtful and personalized gift, and not something impersonal, like a gift card....
If you enjoy trips with lots of walking or hiking, but your friend would rather lounge by a pool all day, consider how much you’ll both be willing to compromise and if it’s worth it to invite them or not. Also consider whether a friend is an early riser or prefers to go to sleep late, and how high-maintenance they tend to be. If one or two people simply aren’t available, tell them that you’re sorry it didn’t work out for this trip and that you’ll let them know when you’re planning your next holiday with friends....
