Article: As your algae grows, it will become more and more compact inside the container. The denser your algae population gets, the more opaque the solution will become. Most algae cultures will be green, but you can get different types of algae that are different colors.  For example, the strain of algae known as Rhodophyta has a red color. Keep a log of all changes that your algae undergo. For a short term experiment, you will likely only need to add nutrients at the beginning. If you are growing algae on a long term basis, you will need to add nutrients with each new batch of algae. You also might need to add nutrients as the algae population grows. If you are unsure of when to add nutrients or how much to add, consult an algaculture specialist. If your algae population becomes too dense, you may have to separate some of it into a new container. Otherwise, the container will be okay as long as you are growing the algae. If you wish to learn more about your algae culture, look at it under magnification. Putting a drop of your algae culture on a microscope will likely reveal much more than looking with the naked eye. In addition to your algae, you may even find protozoans or other life forms in your culture. This will likely be required if you are growing algae as part of a science experiment for class or work.

Observe any color changes in the growth medium. Add nutrients when appropriate. Look closer with a microscope.
Article: Unlike shredding chicken in a stand mixer, other methods of shredding chicken require giving the chicken a head start on getting shredded.  Tear or cut the meat up into pieces no bigger than an inch on any side. Like shredding chicken with a stand mixer, other methods of shredding chicken require that they are free of bones. On a plate or in a bowl, pierce a piece of boneless chicken with two forks.  Both forks should have their prongs facing in a downward curve.  Press the prongs of one fork into the center of the chicken and apply a firm downward pressure.  With another fork, pierce the chicken near the place where the prongs of the first fork penetrated.  Then, pull the second fork away from the first in a straight line.  Don’t simply remove it at the same angle you entered the chicken.  Rather, pull straight away relative to the plane of the bowl or plate the chicken is on.  By pulling the second fork away from the other fork, a significant portion of the chicken meat should come away with it. You might notice the meat is stringy and breaks into thin strips.  This is normal. Pierce the chicken again with the second fork and continue to tear away chicken meat.  When you’ve torn up most or all of one side of a piece of chicken, remove the first fork you’re using to anchor the chicken in place and pierce the new center of the piece of chicken you’re shredding. Continue in this way until all the chicken is shredded. Place your chicken pieces into a sturdy pyrex or glass mixing bowl.  Most mixing bowls can accommodate up to two chicken breasts or thighs.  Place the prongs of your mixer into the bowl.  Turn the mixer on a low setting.  Use one hand to grip the bowl and one hand to move the mixer around.  Move the mixer around the bowl until the chicken is fully shredded (usually about 60 seconds or less).  Keep the mixing paddles in the bowl while they’re moving, otherwise you’ll end up flinging chicken all over your kitchen. When your chicken is shredded, turn the mixer off and remove it from the bowl. If you have more than two pieces of chicken, shred them in batches.  For instance, shred two piece of chicken, then remove them onto a plate or bowl.  Then drop two more pieces of hand-torn chicken into the mixing bowl and shred again.

Tear the meat into small pieces. Shred the chicken with a fork. Shred chicken with a hand mixer.
Article: You can plan out your whole day ahead of time to go as smoothly and successfully as possible, but get a flat tire on the way to work that throws off your whole schedule.  Adapting to changes like this and keeping your focus on how to alter your schedule can help you remain positive and mindful the rest of your day instead of feeling resentful or helpless. Learn how to tell the difference between what you can and cannot control to help you move forward with your life.   Remember that you cannot control what other people do, but you have complete control over how you react to everything around you.  Your emotions are solely your responsibility. Reflect on things that contributed to your current position.  What could you have done differently then?  Can you use this experience to apply such lessons to your future behaviors and actions to make sure you don’t repeat yourself? .  Since you have been able to fully assess and accept your current situation and what you don’t like about it, as well as how your actions contributed to creating it, you can now decide how you want your life to be different in the future. Think of a general goal and then come up with a definite smaller goal that will help you get there.  Do you want to find a new job, lose a healthy amount of weight, learn to better handle your finances, or develop stronger and healthier relationship skills? If you want a new job, do you need more training or education? Do you need to start practicing for interviews and hiring a resume consultant? Will you start spending an hour every morning looking through want-ads? If your goal is to lose weight, start with a specific goal, like fitting into those pants you love and haven’t been able to wear in two years.  How much lost weight will it take to get into those pants again? Avoid non-specific goals like, “I want to be thin” or long-term ones like “I need to lose 100 lbs.” Focus on specific goals you can obtain in the near future, such as “I will walk for 30 minutes every day this week.” Include steps you will take to get there, how you plan to recognize and change negative thought patterns as they come up, and what you will do if you hit a stumbling block. Break your goal into small steps that you can accomplish one at a time to build your confidence and self-worth as you go.   For example, if your goal is to stick to your budget for the next 30 days, then identify ways that you can do that. You might plan to make a grocery list and stick to it. Or, to cut out spending on extras such as entertainment. You might also plan for potential obstacles, such as an unexpected bill.   Perhaps there is a way you can make $50 quickly if an emergency arises.  Do you have anything valuable to sell on eBay?  Can you work a few extra hours at your job or pick up a shift from someone? Can you set aside an emergency fund for unexpected expenses?
