This means you should cut the squash along the middle. Make a long cut running from the top of the squash to the bottom. Be careful how you hold the squash when cutting. Make sure the knife's blade does not face the hand holding your squash. If you slip up, you could end up cutting your hand. You will find two circular crevices inside the squash. These crevices will be filled with seeds, which should be removed prior to eating the squash.  Take a metal spoon and scoop out the seeds, as well as any pulp. Seeds and pulp may be sticky or watery. You  may have to scrape the surface of the squash with the spoon to remove leftover residue. Cut them in half width-wise rather than length wise. You should be left with four somewhat square-like pieces of squash. Two of the pieces with be slightly smaller. Two of the pieces will be rounder and larger. Work with one piece of squash at a time. Cutting lengthwise, cut the cube into six even slices. These should look something like carrot sticks.  Stack the slices on top of each other on your cutting board. Make a series of cuts across the length of the stacked slices, making cuts in roughly even intervals. You should be left with a pile of several small cubes of squash. Repeat this process with the remaining three pieces of squash.

Shake the interviewer's hand and smile. A firm handshake indicates confidence and self-assuredness. Coupled with a smile, you'll give off a positive, make-the-company-better attitude. Smile as genuinely as possible. A fake smile can be detected from a mile away. Think about how happy you are to have obtained the interview and how great it would be get started working there. This is  absolutely vital. If you shy away from connecting, the interviewer may feel awkward and sense that you're not in it to win it. If you appear too nervous, the interviewer might draw the wrong conclusions about your ability to do the job – especially if it involves interacting with people. Maintaining eye contact is a surefire way of conveying confidence and proving that you're the right person for the job. This is the part that will go easiest if you've done a bit of practicing. Sell yourself. Talk about your skills and experiences. Come prepared with answers to typical questions ("Why would our team be better if you were a part of it? How have you handled obstacles at previous employers?) and a few questions yourself to seem engaged and dedicated.  In general, follow where the interviewer leads the meeting. However, if they mention something that spawns a question in your mind, don't hesitate to ask. It may make you seem interested, thoughtful, and clearly indicate that you're actively listening. Don't be shy to ask what you want to know! Asking about the position, the requirements, and the expectations will voice your interest and let you know what you're getting into. Even if you're saying all the right things, your body language can be a dead giveaway that you don't believe what you're saying or that you're just plain uncomfortable. Keep your arms uncrossed. Keep your head high and face your interviewer. You want to seem open, approachable, and confident. Mirroring their body language will make them unconsciously pick up on your "familiarity," making them comfortable and like you. The more you can stay calm, the more you can be yourself. You'll be able to be funny, smart, and likeable. If you're nervous and shy, the interviewer will be hesitant to view you as competent. Coming prepared is the easiest way to relax. Practicing the night before, picking an outfit, knowing where the location is, doing your research, and coming up with questions will put you at ease. Do whatever it is that will make you feel comfortable, ensuring a successful interview. Though it may not be explicitly said, it may be a good idea to come with documents in hand. This will show your forward-thinking and professionalism. Grab a folder and be as organized as possible. Consider bringing references, another copy of your resume, citizenship documents (if applicable), or portfolio of your work. Make sure they're neat and not covered in coffee stains!

One-sentence summary -- Have good energy. Maintain eye contact throughout the entire interview. Answer -- and ask -- questions. Monitor your body language. Relax. Come prepared.


Espresso refers to the method of preparation and the grind of the beans, not the roast level. Choose any roast level you prefer for your espresso. Roast levels can vary by region, so try several to find a level that you enjoy the most. Keep in mind that you might prefer different roasts for different purposes. For example, if you're drinking the espresso straight, you might want a single-origin bean that's not roasted very dark. Or if you'll be making the espresso into a latte or cappuccino, you might want a darker roast that will stand up to the milk. If you're buying your beans from a coffee shop, ask when they were roasted. While you want fresh beans, you don't want beans that were roasted within the last day or two, since they'll still be releasing carbon dioxide. Purchase and use beans that were roasted 5 to 12 days earlier. If you're buying your beans from a store, check the label on the bag to find the roast date.

One-sentence summary -- Select the roast. Buy your beans.


In the winter, with harsh winds and heating on full-blast, most skin types will dry out quickly. Drink plenty of water and apply oil-free, easily absorbed light lotions to all parts of your body. Use lip balm to keep from suffering from chapped lips. Though showering daily is considered good hygiene, many have found that they should wash their hair using products every other day, or even less! The reasoning behind this is simple: washing your hair strips it of it's natural oils, causing it to dry out and split ends to form - a problem amplified by the winter. Leave in a moisturizing conditioner or hair mask on the last 3 to 5 inches (7.6 to 12.7 cm) of your hair for about 15 minutes, once a week in order to keep it soft. Also, brush hair from the scalp to the tips, to spread the natural oils. This does nothing but strengthen your hair and give it a silky feel. For the face, lighten or forgo foundation completely, and use a rosy, warm pink on your cheeks. Mixing a tiny dusting of bronzer with your blush can be a good maneuver, but either look lovely. Consider "going bare" at the eyes; a quick layer of charcoal mascara on your upper lashes, and no eyeliner. This serves to brighten and enlarge your eyes. Cream eye-shadows are also good winter choices: unlike during the summer, they will not "melt off". Colors in the pale blues, whites, and gray-blues are lovely ways to adjust your makeup to the cooler months - daub a bit of white toward the inner corner of your eye, and blend outward with a light blue. Alternatively, jumbo eye-pencils in metallics are another option. Use whites, golds or silvers to achieve a frosty beauty with a tapering line barely above the top lashes. Lightly apply to the bottom of the eyes, then, using the sides of your index fingers, push up until it is a thin line. Use chapstick religiously. Apply every ten to twenty minutes, or as needed. Cracked lips are unattractive. Any kind will suffice, in a pinch, even Vaseline. It is light and leaves your lips feeling much softer. Natural beauty is never beaten. Very rarely does anything top a quick daub of lip-gloss and a freshly washed face.
