This is keybr.com, a web application that will help you teach touch typing. Touch typing is typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys. A person possessing touch typing skills will know their location on the keyboard through muscle memory. It can improve any individual's typing speed and accuracy dramatically. This is a short tutorial that will explain how does this application work. You can use the left and right arrow keys to navigate through these slides. This tutorial is based on these few principles: No boring, repetitive exercises. Initially it starts generating words from a small subset of the most frequent letters of the alphabet. When you are typing these words, keybr measures time to type a key for every letter in that subset. Once you familiarize yourself with the current subset of letters, the algorithm expands it, including more and more letters to it. So at any time, you will by typing the letters you are least familiar with. This is the text board. ? ? ? ? ?

TLC Home &Knitting in the Round& To avoid sewing seams, you can work in rounds using circular needles or double-pointed needles. Circular Needles To work in rounds, cast your stitches on one end of the needle the same as you would on a straight needle. Check to make sure that the cast-on lays flat and smooth and is not twisted. Add a stitch marker to the end of the needle to mark the beginning of the round (fig. 14a), and work the first round according to your pattern instructions. Knitting with Circular Needles: Figure 14a Double-Pointed Needles Evenly distribute your cast-on over three or four needles, keeping one needle out to knit with. Knitting with Double-Pointed Needles: Figure 14b In the next section, you'll learn how to add stitches to your work.

How To Fix The Economy Dear Mr. President: Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan: There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations: 1) They MUST retire. 2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. 3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed. 4) They MUST buy their own health insurance. - Health Plan for seniors just fixed!!! It can't get any easier than that! If not, please disregard. God Bless America.

Create IVR applications in minutes :: QuickFuse Response to: "Hitler was an atheist!..." & Conversational Atheist The tactics section consists of quick examples of a specific technique that can be employed during the course of a debate or discussion to help give you an advantage. Tactic: Agree with your opponent’s statement in such a way that it actually improves your position It is to your advantage to agree with statements that incidentally improve your position. For example, if someone says something like: "Well, Hitler was an atheist and his belief systems lead to genocide!..." There are many valid ways of responding to such a claim. The first temptation is to debate or challenge the facts of the statement — Hitler wasn’t an atheist, antisemitism was rooted in a long religious tradition, etc. Either way is virtually a dead end. Instead, consider embracing the argument and making it your own. So, say something like: “Hitler may not have been an atheist, but I am willing to go along with you on this because either way we have a point of agreement here! In response to a comment about this argument:

makes » how to make butter Homemade butter is easy, relatively quick to make and amazingly delicious. If it cost less than buying butter at the grocery store, it would be too good to be true, which is why this is not the case. All things considered, though, I still think it’s well worth it. This stuff is precious, so I think the best use of it is not in baking, but rather, on top of freshly baked, still warm, bread, muffins or crumpets. Are you ready for this? We begin with cream. Next, get a container with a tight-fitting screw-on lid that will not spurt cream all over your kitchen when you shake it vigorously. Begin shaking the container up and down in a rhythmic pattern. The next 3 minutes will feel like you’re shaking a brick. All of a sudden, within just a few shakes, the jar will begin going “shuk shuk shuk” and you’ll be able to feel the butter separating from the buttermilk. After that, let the faucet water get as cold as it gets, then fill the jar to just under the top of the butter. And that’s it!

The scale has three designated categories called Type I, II, and III. A Type I civilization uses all available resources on its home planet, Type II harnesses all the energy of its star, and Type III of its galaxy. The scale is only hypothetical, but it puts energy consumption in a cosmic perspective. It was first proposed in 1964 by the Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardashev (Kardashyov). Various extensions of the scale have been proposed since, from a wider range of power levels (types 0, IV and V) to the use of metrics other than pure power. Definition[edit] Type I "Technological level close to the level presently attained on earth, with energy consumption at ≈4×1019 erg/sec (4 × 1012 watts) Type II Type III "A civilization in possession of energy on the scale of its own galaxy, with energy consumption at ≈4×1044 erg/sec
