Problem: Article: The loose end of your wrap should again be hanging from the outside of your hand. Draw it under your palm to where your wrist meets the ball of your thumb. From there, pull it over the top of your hand and down in between your pinky and ring fingers. Then draw the wrap to the inside of your hand. Pull it up and over your index knuckle and then across the back of your hand to where it meets your wrist. Looking at the top of your hand, you will now see that you have formed an X, with the loose end once again hanging off the outside of your hand. Draw the loose end under your hand so that it comes up below your thumb, as before. Now pull it over the top of your hand and down in between your ring and middle fingers. Draw the wrap to the inside of your hand. Pull it around your index knuckle and then cross the back of your hand again, finishing as before with the loose end hanging from the outside of your hand, at its bottom. Repeat the same process. Only this time, pull the wrap down in between your middle and index fingers. This way, each knuckle will be supported and safely separated from each other, reducing the risk of injury. Finish as before by drawing the wrap from the inside of your hand, across the back, and down around the bottom, where it meets your wrist.
Summary: Start between your pinky and ring fingers. Make a second X. Make one last X.

Problem: Article: Complex matrices have elements with a real and imaginary component. While you can take an ordinary transpose of these matrices, most practical calculations involve the conjugate transpose instead. Matrix C =2+i     3-2i0+i     5+0i The complex conjugate changes the sign of the imaginary components, without altering the real components. Perform this operation for all elements of the matrix. complex conjugate of C =2-i     3+2i0-i     5-0i Take an ordinary transposition of the result. The matrix you end up with is the conjugate transpose of the original matrix. conjugate transpose of C = CH =2-i        0-i3+2i     5-0i
Summary: Start with a complex matrix. Take the complex conjugate. Transpose the results.

Problem: Article: When you're growing a plant from a seed, it can help to germinate the seed first, because this will increase the chances of it taking root in the ground.  Place the seeds in a small bowl and fill it with warm water. Let the seeds sit in the water for 24 hours.  After 24 hours, drain the water. On each seed, use your nail to gently pick away a small portion of the seed covering. Note that wisteria should be planted outdoors in the spring or fall, so make sure you start the germination process about six weeks before you want to transplant it outside. Fill a seed starter most of the way with potting soil and place one or two wisteria seeds on top of the soil in each pod. Make sure the seeds are on their sides. Cover them with one-quarter inch of potting soil. Place the seed trays in a warm, bright room. Add some water to the soil, and keep it moist for the duration of the sprouting time. Keep the seeds warm and moist while they germinate, and give them lots of natural light. The seeds should sprout within 10 to 30 days. Before you can transplant the sprouts, make sure they are at least four to five inches tall, and have a couple leaves on each stalk.
Summary: Germinate the seeds. Plant the seeds in a seed starter. Allow the seeds to sprout.

Problem: Article: Buy skull molds with a front and back section from mexicansugarskull.com or a similar online store. Buy skull molds with a front-side only from Amazon.com. You can buy molds in small, medium and large sizes.  This is a traditional baking ingredient used to hold together sugary frosting.  CK Products, Wilton and Ateco make high quality meringue powder. This product costs about $7 for 4 oz. For large batches of sugar skulls, you will want to buy several containers. Most traditional Day of the Dead recipes say that the skulls will not form properly on a rainy day. Use 4 cups (800g) of sugar, 4 tsp. (13.3g) of meringue powder and 10 tsp. (49ml) of water.   You may add 2 extra tsp. (10ml) of water later. If you are making a large batch of sugar skulls, use 10 lbs. (4.5kg) of sugar, 1/2 cup (80g) of meringue powder and 7 tbsp. (104ml) of water. If you want to make colored sugar skulls, mix food color with the water before pouring it into the bowl. Make sure you continuously incorporate the water at the bottom of the bowl with the sugar at the top, since the water will settle to the bottom. Add 2 tsp. (10ml) of water if the sugar isn’t sticking together. If you press the sugar together with your hands and your fingerprints imprint and stay, it is ready to mold. If the sugar falls apart or fails to imprint, there isn’t enough water in your mixture. Pack it very tightly. Smooth the back of the mold with a straight edge. Leave 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of sugar on all sides.  Do not scoop out the neck portion, or it will be too fragile. You must remove this section to ensure the skull will dry quickly and evenly. They should take approximately 8 hours to dry.  Pour 1/2 cup (40g) meringue powder with 1 cup (237ml) of water. Mix well with a hand mixer. Add a 2 lb. (0.5kg) bag of powdered sugar to the mixture. Stick the back and front of the skull together to dry. Allow them to dry for 4 to 8 hours before decorating. Pour in drops of food coloring and mix well. Decorate your skulls with colored royal icing.
Summary:
Purchase your sugar skull mold. Buy a large container of white granulated sugar. Order merengue powder. Wait for a low-humidity day. Measure your ingredients and place them in a large bowl. Mix together your skull recipe with your hands. Test the sugar. Pack sugar into the front and back molds with your hands. Scoop out the center of the skull with a spoon. Set the molds with sugar side up to dry overnight. Flip out the skulls onto a piece of cardboard. Make your royal icing. Put a layer of white royal icing on the back of each side of the skull mold. Separate royal icing into bowls.
