Adding yeast to bread dough and covering the dough with cloth and leaving it alone for a few hours before baking- the cloth keeps insects from contaminating the dough and the yeast creates small holes in the dough filled with carbon dioxide making the bread rise.

How do you skip school without your parents knowing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Whatever it is that is making you want to run away cannot be that bad. You don't need to go. Sit down somewhere and just chill out. If you go somewhere and your parents can't find you they're going to be very upset. Don't leave home. Think of it this way: how much money do you have? Did you ever stop to think that if you left home how would you live. You can't get a job if you're just a teenager. You need proof that you're of age. Where are you going to live when you leave? Do you have a house to go to? Don't leave; stay home. I don't know you but I'm very concerned about you so don't runaway. You're going to end up doing some things you may not want to do. I bet you it's not that bad at home. Just wait. Be patient. Something is going to turn around for you but please please don't runaway. You'll be all alone and then what are you going to do and where are you going to go. no... sometime that's the only thing you can do.. U need to leave the house for a little bit. Eveyone most likely ends up back home in the end. Go somewhere safe and stay low. Dont let ur parents beat u up... u can get throught it.

Why was deaf smith called deaf?

User Avatar

Erasumus "Deaf" Smith was nicknamed "Deaf" (pronounced Deef) because he got sick in his early 20's which rendered him a severe hearing loss. He did not know sign language or anything like that, but everyone at the time knew that he could not hear that well. He was very well-known, looked up to, and respected.

What are innate human fears?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There probably is some disagreement on what fears are actually "innate," or existing instinctively from the time of birth, but a common list consists of the following:

The Five Innate Human Fears

  • Death
  • Embarrassment
  • Loss of love
  • Rejection
  • Falling (heights)

On the other hand, I have also seen a list of only two hard-wired or innate fears:

  • Loud noises
  • Falling

Whether these fears are innate or not, you might be interested in a recent survey where participants rated their 'worst fears':

The 14 worst human fears (of 3,000 people surveyed)*

Rank Percentage

1. Public speaking 41

2.Heights 32

3. Insects and bugs 22

4. Financial problems 22

5. Deep water 22

6. Sickness 19

7. Death 19

8. Flying 18

9. Loneliness 14

10. Dogs 11

11. Driving/riding in a car 10

12. Darkness 8

13. Elevators 8

14. Escalators 5

Added note to this American survey: "In general, women are far more fearful than men. Twice as many were afraid of heights, insects, deep water, flying or driving in cars; three times as many were frightened of darkness and four times as many were frightened of elevators. They were also more fearful of dogs, getting sick and dying.

Ok, so it doesn't makes it seem like this a male chauvinist survey, it is worth noting that the only fear that men have more often than women is the fear of financial problems."

Heights is not an innate fear. This develops as one gets older as one begins to walk (and fall down) babies who are not walking and are less mobile are placed on a solid surface next to a glass surface they are able to go everywhere on the solid and the glass surface with no fear, as the child gets older and starts to become more active and begins to understand heights these children placed on the two different surfaces will only stay on the solid looking surface and dislike the glass.

Fear of heights is a learnt behaviour, thus is not innate.

How is the prader-willi syndrome gene dominant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Prader-Willi Syndrome is neither dominant or recessive - it is simply a genetic anomaly that occurs at conception (it's not inherited - it just happens) where part of the 15th chromosome that should be present/active is missing. This occurs either because it is totally missing (known as deletion) or because the child gets 2 chromosome 15s from the mother (instead of 1 from mom and 1 from dad which is the way it should be) and therefore that part of chromosome 15 that should be active from the father is nonexistent (this is known as uniparental disomy, or UPD)

What do most massage therapists wear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, not particularly, although many choose to wear medical scrubs due in part to their requirement in many massage schools, as well as the fact that they are non-constrictive. Different Therapists have differing opinions on the matter, however, they will all agree that plain clothes are far too constrictive.

Does subliminal suggestion work?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As you probably know, we most often see what we expect to see. A subliminal message is a message that we see but do not notice, maybe because it is unexpected and out-of-context or maybe because it's just awfully subtle.

The most common application was the insertion of an image, maybe buttered popcorn or soda, in a film that appeared and disappeared too quickly to interrupt your concentration on the show. All of a sudden you were thinking 'snack bar trip' but didn't know why.

Another use is 'product placement'. More and more we see name brand items appearing in popular media. Generally no mention is made of it, but when you see your TV hero drinking the same brand of bottled water over and over, odds are that the water company is paying to have it appear on screen.

The idea is that we want to emulate people we like so letting us know what our hero drinks may influence our choices without the 'baseball bat to the head' approach of television commercials.

an example of a BAD subliminal message is this:

The obvious empire smokes fiction.

that seem kinda harmless right? its not.

it is a pro Nazi slogan. on TV it would flash on the screen for less than a second. here's what it means:

The obvious empire smokes fiction.

that means the obvious/best/ruling empire (Nazi in this case)

The obvious empire smokes fiction.

Hitler burned the books-fiction

Note: not all messages are this easy to spot!
