			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pasta is an Italian food item which is made of wheat dough and water. Sometimes, eggs and other foods are included while making it. Pasta is usually served along with sauce. In this guide, we will learn how to make an easy yet delicious pasta dish.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Ingredients you will require:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>For making the pasta:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>200 grams of plain flour, plus some extra for dusting</li>
<li>3 eggs, one of them beaten for the eggwash</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>For making the stuffing:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil</li>
<li>1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley</li>
<li>½ tablespoon chilli flakes</li>
<li>2 tablespoons olive oil</li>
<li>¼ savoy cabbage, sliced finely</li>
<li>100 grams gorgonzola</li>
<li>salt to taste and some freshly ground black pepper</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>For making the sauce:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>8 fresh sage leaves, chopped finely</li>
<li>125 grams butter</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Method:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Put the flour into a food processor. Crack two eggs and add it in. Now start the machine to create dough.</li>
<li>Dust some flour on a flat surface and tip the dough into it. Knead this dough till it is elastic and smooth. Wrap with a cling wrap and let it rest at room temperature for about 10 to 15 minutes.</li>
<li>Use a pasta machine and roll the dough. Go from the largest setting possible toward the thinnest. Cut the sheets in halves lengthwise. Lay it on the lightly floured surface for 15 minutes and let it dry.</li>
<li>Mix parsley, one tablespoon olive oil and basil in a bowl.</li>
<li>Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan and fry the cabbage and chili flakes for 5 minutes or till it softens. Remove from heat and let it cool a bit.</li>
<li>Take the cabbage mixture along with the herbs and the oil, and put it in a bowl. Add the gorgonzola along with it. Mix this well. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to this for taste.</li>
<li>Take a tablespoon of stuffing mix and place it on a pasta sheet and leave space of about 15 centimeters between each spoon of stuffing.</li>
<li>Smear the pasta with a beaten egg around the sides and between each spoonful of stuffing that you laid. Place the second pasta sheet on top of this; press down carefully and gently around the edges making sure there are no air gaps left.</li>
<li>Use a pasta cutter or a pasta wheel to cut the pasta from around the stuffing.</li>
<li>Boil salt water in a large saucepan and cook the pasta in this for about 2 minutes. Drain while reserving about 3 tablespoons of the water.</li>
<li>For the sauce, take a small pan and heat some butter in it. Wait for the butter to melt. Add the sage leaves and water you saved earlier from the pasta, and warm it.</li>
<li>Add all the pasta in the pan and stir it. This should coat the pasta in sauce.</li>
<li>This recipe will serve two people.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scrambled egg is a food item, which is prepared from the flattened whites and yolk of the egg. Scrambled eggs are generally made with the chicken egg. Flattened eggs are placed into a hot oiled saucepan and stirred regularly, creating curds as they thicken.</p>
<p>Raw eggs are beaten to mix the white portion of egg with yolk to form a uniform liquid. Liquids like, stock, butter, water, cream or oil can be mixed in the beaten egg to form a softer texture. The quantity of liquid, which is added into the beaten egg, is around 3tbsn liquid per egg. You can also include salt, pepper or other spices to add some flavor to your scrambled egg.</p>
<p>When the flattened eggs are transferred into a hot oiled saucepan, it thickens straight away. The temperature of the stove is turned down and the egg is stirred continuously as they cook. If you will stir the egg continuously, then it will form small and spongy curds.</p>
<p>Once the liquid of the egg is set completely, add some more ingredients like, herbs, ham or cheese in you scrambled egg. The eggs must be undercooked to some extent, when eliminated from the stove, as the egg will carry on setting.  If you follow this method, then the texture of the egg should be humid with soft uniformity. Is the liquid is leaking from the scrambled egg, and then it means that the egg is not cooked properly.  If you want to cook scrambled egg, then you will have to follow the instruction mentioned below.</p>
<p><strong>Things required: </strong><br />
7 to 10 large eggs<br />
7 teaspoons low-fat milk<br />
4 dashes of salt<br />
2 Tablespoon butter for frying</p>
<p><strong>Instructions: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To cook scrambled egg, first of all you will have to heat a big non-stick frying pan. Heat it on average temperature. You can use a 14 inch frying pan, if you are cooking 10 eggs. Do not put butter until your pan is ready.</li>
<li>Now, break the eggs in a large mixing bowl and start beating it. You can beat the eggs by adding milk and salt to it. Keep beating the eggs for at least 4 minutes.</li>
<li>You can also mix the eggs with milk, salt and pepper in blender and mix it for around 30 seconds. Now, let the solution and foam settle for two-three minutes.</li>
<li>Now, thaw the butter in the frying pan. Let the butter get liquefied completely in the pan, and then add the egg solution.</li>
<li>You should not stir the solution straight away. Wait until the first intimation of setting starts.  Now stir the eggs continuously by using a flat wooden spoon.
<p>Keep stirring the eggs until the eggs begin setting. You can break up the large parts with the side of your spoon.  Now, toss over the entire eggs. Let the eggs cook for approximately 30 seconds longer. Now, your scrambled egg is cooked; remove it from the heat and serve it hot. You can also add some pepper to enhance the flavor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leek is a kind of vegetable; it comes from <em>Alliaceae</em> ancestors. Leek is closely related to a species of onion and garlic. The botanical name of the leek is <em>Allium porrum</em>.</p>
<p>The edible portion of the leek plant is a bunch of leaf coverings, which is usually termed as stem or stalk.</p>
<p>Unlike onion, leek produces a big cylindrical bunch of leaf covering, which is usually faded by approaching soil around them. The ripe part of the leek is the white onion bottom and light green tail. The dark green part of the leek is generally removed as it is not edible and does not have any taste. As the leek develops, the green part becomes more woody and tough. The whites and light green part of leeks are used to add flavor to dishes. If you want to cook leeks, then just follow the instructions which are mentioned below.</p>
<p>Things required:</p>
<ul>
<li>4 lb young, slender leeks</li>
<li>salt</li>
<li>9-10 fresh pearl onions</li>
<li>3 cup chicken stock or water,      as desirable</li>
<li>1/4 cup dry white wine</li>
<li>4 tbsp olive oil</li>
<li>2 tbsp tomato paste</li>
<li>5 bay leaves</li>
<li>2 tsp peppercorns</li>
<li>paprika</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Instructions: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>First      of all, get fresh leeks from any store. Now wash them thoroughly and then      cut them, leaving around 2 inches of the tender green tops. If you are using      small leeks, then you don’t need to cut them, just use them as it is.  If you using average sized leeks, then      cut them in half lengthways.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Now,      assembles the leek’s bundles together and tie them with each other, with      the help of kitchen threads.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Pour some water in a large container (half full),      and boil it. Now, put 2 tablespoons of salt and a bunch of the leek into      the boiling water. Boil it for at least 6 minutes. Once it is boiled,      remove the leeks from the water and allow it to cool down for a few      minutes.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Once it gets cooled, cut down the threads and      divide the leeks. Keep it away.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Pour some water, around two cups, in a vessel and      boil it. Now add some pearl onion to it and boil, without covering it for      around five minutes. Remove the onions and submerge them in the cold      water. Cut the root ends of the leeks with the help of a sharp knife. You      can also remove the skin of the leeks by using your finger.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Get a large frying pan, and keep the entire bundle      leeks in it. Take a small pot, and mix 3 cup of stock or water, olive oil      and tomato paste. Stir them until they are mixed properly; transfer the      solution of stock onto the leeks layer. Insert bay leaves below the leeks      and spread the peppercorns on the surface of the leeks.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Put the frying pan on the average temperature and let      them to boil. Cook it on low flame and permit the liquid to boil, without      covering until the leeks become warm. You can cook leeks for around 50      minutes; you can pierce it easily with knife, once it is cooked. Now, just      take off the leeks from the heat and allow it to cool completely.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>To serve leeks, assemble the leeks in a line on the      serving plates. Assemble the onions and bay leaves on the surface of the      leeks. Add some sauce and peppercorns on top of the onion and leeks.      Spread some paprika and serve it hot.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Surround sound includes a variety of techniques that enriches the quality of sound reproduction of an audio source, which reproduces the audio channels through discrete and additional speakers. The audio channels achieve the human sphere of three-dimensional hearing virtually. The option of multi channel surround includes the left-surround, back-surround, and right-surround.  It is contrasting to the screen channels.</p>
<p>The technology of the surround sound is used mainly in home theater systems, cinemas, personal computer and video game console. The commercial surround sound media includes videocassettes, Video DVDs, HDTV broadcasts which Dolby Pro Logic, DTS or Dolby Digital encodes. The other formats of the commercial use are Super Audio CD (SACD) formats, DVD-Audio and MP3 Surround Cinema 5.1, which includes surround formats like DTS and Dolby Digital. Sony Dynamic Digital Sound (SDDS) has a 7.1 cinema configuration, which has features like five independent channels throughout the front with two surround channels independent and an LFE.</p>
<p>Pink Floyd performed the first ever surround sound concert in 1967 at Games for May, which was held at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. The band had its own quadraphonic speaker system. Here are some simple steps on how to install surround sound</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Things Required:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Surround sound speakers</li>
<li>Stereo or DVD player or digital tuner</li>
<li>Speaker wires</li>
<li>Mounting kits (screws)</li>
<li>Stud finder</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Steps:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Before installing the surround sound inside your house, you will have to decide a place for the surround sound. If you are going to use 5.1-surround sound, then you will have five satellite speakers and one subwoofer.</li>
<li>Check out all the speakers and see if its position is already labeled. Depending on the type of speaker system that you have, some of the speakers will be designed to be on the right side or left side. If one of the speakers is larger than the rest, then it should be placed right opposite the entertainment center. Arrange the remaining speakers the way you want it.</li>
<li>Before mounting the speakers, go and attach the speaker wires to them and to your stereo. If you have a wireless speaker system, switch on all the speakers and the wireless transmitter as well. This will help in connecting the stereo and speakers to one signal. Place a DVD or CD inside the stereo and adjust the sound accordingly.</li>
<li>Use long screws for mounting speakers on the wall or ceiling. Do not forget to use the stud finder; it helps in ensuring that the wall studs are going in the right place.</li>
<li>Once you have mounted the speakers, adjust the sound and listen to music or watch movies with surround sound.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Tips and Warnings:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If the speakers have separate terminals for positive and negative wiring, make sure that you connect the wire to the respective terminal.</li>
<li>You can use small hooks or a tape to secure the wires of the speaker to the wall or ceiling. It helps in keeping the wires out of the way.</li>
<li>Be very careful when you are working with the wires as there are chances of electrical shock. Switch off all the power of the speaker and the stereo before you start connecting wires to the speakers.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A rain gutter is a contracted channel or a trough, which forms the component of the roof system that can collect and divert all the rainwater from the shed by the roof. Rain gutters are also known as gutter, eaves channel, eaves trough or guttering. A rain gutter can be an integral roof trough, which runs along the lower edge of the slope on the roof. It is fashioned in the style, which forms the roof covering and the flashing material.</p>
<p>The basic purpose of a rain gutter is to guard the foundation of the building by means of channeling the water away from the base. Rain gutters also help to prevent leaks in the basement, reduce erosion and provide a way to collect rainwater for use. These rain gutters are constructed from various materials like lead, zinc, cast iron, copper, steel, PVC, wood, painted steel, stone and concrete. All the water collected at the rain gutter is fed through a downspout, which is also known as conductor or leader, from the base to the roof edge of the entire building where it is either collected or discharged.</p>
<p>The different types of gutters are known as profiles. A box gutter is a deep gutter that has concealed the structure of the roof inside it. There is a technique called cold forming, which allows the formation of continuous gutters in long lengths that is suitable for the roof edge conditions. Here are some few steps on how to install gutters/rain gutters.</p>
<p><b>Things Required: </b></p>
<ul>
<li>Chalk line<b> </b></li>
<li>Level hammer <b> </b></li>
<li>Cordless drill 1/8 rivets, 1/8 drill bit<b></b></li>
<li>Nails or screws<b></b></li>
<li>Caulk edging tool<b></b></li>
<li>Tape measure<b></b></li>
<li>Ladder<b></b></li>
</ul>
<p><b>Steps:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Start with disconnecting the downspout of the gutter. The downspout is usually a press-fit, which is screwed or riveted to the gutter. Pull out all the press-fit pieces with the help of your hand. Take out all the screws with a cordless drill, and then remove the downspout far way from the gutter. <b></b></li>
<li>Now drill out all the rivets with the help of a high-speed steel drill, and then take out the downspout from the gutter. <b></b></li>
<li>Before starting the installation process, take out the old gutter; the removal technique is same as the downspout. <b></b></li>
<li>All the gutters are usually attached with screws or clamps. This can be removed with the help of the cordless drill.<b></b></li>
<li>If there is any kind of repair needed on the fascia board, complete it and repaint if required. <b></b></li>
<li>Make a chalk line along the fascia board. All the lines should be 1/2 inch away from every 10 feet of line. Make a slope towards the end or the downspout. Arrange all the gutters on the ground before you move them into a position. <b></b></li>
<li>To assemble, you may have to install drain outlets, end caps, and the splicing gutter pieces all together in order to customize the exact length required. You can use tin snips or chalk to cut the gutters in the required length. The ground assembly process is easier for adjustment. <b></b></li>
<li>You will have to caulk all the rivet joints and seams. Then drill through the overlapping seams of the ends, and all the joints of the gutter with the help of a cordless drill. You will have to connect the two pieces of aluminum pop rivets together. Join all the seams together with silicone caulk, which is loaded with caulking tools. Later place a line of caulk besides the seam. Smoothen out the edges using an edging tool. <b></b></li>
<li>Place the gutter clamps that will be holding the gutter in its position, on the fascia board along with screws and a cordless drill. Read the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions and place the gutter clamps accordingly. To make it long lasting, use non-corrosive screws or nails.</li>
<li>Now, place the assembled gutter in the clamps. Keep them inside the clamps, which are well secured on the fascia board. When you are installing the gutters, do not put a lot of stress on caulked seams and joints. Secure the mounted gutter with a gutter clip.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b></b></li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A resume is a type of document, which contains the summary of job and educational experience. The resume is the first thing required by the employer that is required at an interview for employment. In many countries, resume is also known as curriculum vitae.</p>
<p>A normal resume is a summary that is limited to one or two pages, which highlights the experience that the job seeker thinks is relevant. The CVs in the US academy are comparatively long.</p>
<p>Resumes are organized in different ways like:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reverse Chronological Resume: </strong>In this type of resume, the job experience of the candidate is mentioned in a reverse order; generally it covers the last 15 years. This is the most common format used.</li>
<li><strong>Functional Resume: </strong>In functional resume, the skills and the work experience are sorted according to the job or area of function. This form of resume puts emphasis on particular skill. If someone is planning to make a career change, this format of resumes works best.</li>
<li><strong>Combination Resume: </strong>In this resume, one can perfectly balance the chronological and functional approach. This resume usually repeats itself, and many people do not use it.</li>
</ul>
<p>Writing a good resume is not difficult. Here are some simple and easy steps on how to write resume.</p>
<p><strong>Steps: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Start with writing a cover letter. Remember that the cover letter is not a synopsis of your resume. In the cover letter, you should introduce yourself and say why you are the best candidate for a particular job. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Select a design for your resume. You can look for samples, which are specific to the job you are applying for; you should also have an outline. The outline of your resume must include work experience, references, objective and work experience. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Your objective in the resume should be fit for your job. You can use bullet points to convey the information, and try to be clear and concise for the rest of the information you mention. Look at the job qualifications properly and highlight if you have similar skills as their requirement. <strong></strong></li>
<li>You should use words like managed, implemented, prepared, directed, coordinated and monitored. If you do not have enough experience, then focus on your educational background.<strong></strong></li>
<li>Mention your strengths and highlight them at opportune points in your resume. Make sure that you do not mention any negative points in the resume.<strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Tips and Warnings: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The font size should not be less than 10 and the length of your resume should be two pages. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Most of the companies select resumes on the basis of keyword. So, when you are writing your resume mention some keywords. <strong></strong></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A cover letter is also known as a covering letter, motivation letter, motivational letter or letter of motivation. Cover letter is the introductory letter attached to another document like a curriculum vitae or resume. Job seekers usually send a covering letter with the resume or their application for employment.</p>
<p>They use covering letter as a way of introducing themselves to the employers, also explaining their aptness for the desired position. Employers read the covering letters carefully as this is one method of scanning applications. The covering letter is divided in three different categories like the application letter, networking letter and the prospecting letter.</p>
<p>The covering letter is only one page divided into header, introduction, body and conclusion. Covering letter is also used for various other business documents like mortgage loans, proposals, contract drafts and executed documents. Many universities in the US require a covering letter with the admission application. Cover letters are a great way to catch the reader’s attention and persuade him to read more. Writing a cover letter is not difficult. Here are some easy steps on how to write a cover letter.</p>
<p><strong>Things required: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Envelopes<strong></strong></li>
<li>Word      processing software<strong></strong></li>
<li>Laser      or inkjet printers<strong></strong></li>
<li>Resume      software (optional)<strong></strong></li>
<li>Resume      paper<strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Steps: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Look      for a job posting, job tip or any job advertisement that is of your      interest, and make sure that you are qualified enough for the position.      Some busy employers get hundreds of applications, so make sure that your      covering letter is impressive. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Match      the style of letterhead and paper that you are planning to use for your      cover letter. This will create a great first impression. <strong></strong></li>
<li>If      you do not know the name of the person who receives your resume, do not      write the salutation in such case. It is always better to address the      letter to a particular person; call the company and ask for the employers      name and title. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Try      to grab the reader’s attention; your covering letter should make him want to      read more. Your covering letter must stand out from rest of the      applications. <strong></strong></li>
<li>In      the first paragraph, you must mention how you came to know about this job      and why are you interested in it. <strong></strong></li>
<li>In      the second and third paragraph, try to make a professional image.      Highlight your important accomplishments and qualifications. Make sure      that that you do not quote your resume verbatim. <strong></strong></li>
<li>While      writing the covering letter, mention points like what you can contribute      to the organization instead of what you will gain from the organization.      If you want, you can also discuss the covering letter in the interview. <strong></strong></li>
<li>In      the last paragraph, say that your resume will explain the qualifications,      experience and the educational background. Request the employers for a      personal interview.   <strong></strong></li>
<li>Conclude      the letter by saying that you are looking forward to hearing from the      company, and restate again your excitement about this opportunity and your      desire to learn more. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Proofread      your letter for any grammatical mistakes, you can also refer to stylebook      if required. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Now      your letter is ready, you can print it or send a direct email to the      employers. <strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Tips and Warnings: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Before      you start writing the cover letter, do a through research about the company.      Then your letter can have some specifics about the company, stated as the      reason for your interest in working there. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Keep      the cover letter short and precise. Most of the cover letter are of one      page and have a standard business format. <strong></strong></li>
<li>To      highlight some of your accomplishments, use bullet points in the      paragraph.<strong></strong></li>
<li>Do      not get personal or wordy in the cover letter. You can share the relevant      anecdotes in the interview session. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Do      not brag about yourself. Confidence is very important, but do not overdo      it. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Always      remember to not send a photocopied letter or use a form letter. This gives      an impression to the employer that you are not interested in the job, and      hence you could not write an original letter.  <strong></strong></li>

<li><strong>Boiled yucca: </strong>take a sharp knife, and peel the yucca until you start seeing the white flesh. Take out the thick fibers that you see in the middle. Cut the yucca into medium sized chunks. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Put the chunks in a vessel of boiling water and add a pinch of salt in water. Allow it to cook for 20 minutes until the yucca is soft and tender. If you are boiling frozen yucca, then it may take some more time to boil. Make sure that you do not overcook the yucca or it will be mushy. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Take the yucca out of water. Place it in a colander and drain it. Cut it into thin slices. Allow it to cool for sometime. Sprinkle yucca with some onions and garlic sautéed in vegetable oil or butter. <strong></strong></li>

<li>Cut the boiled yucca into very thin slices, about the size of fries. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Take 1/4 cup of oil in a pan and heat it. Put the yucca slices in the oil and fry them until they are golden brown. Ensure that the oil does not smoke. Once the yucca is cooked, take it out from oil, and drain the excess oil on a paper towel. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Season the yucca fries with pepper and salt. Now you can serve yucca fries as a side dish with steak or burger. <strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>Cassava Cheese Balls or Dominican Bollitos de yucca: </strong>take 1/2 lb of cheddar cheese and grate it or you can cut it into thin strips and keep it aside. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Cut, peel and boil 1 lb of yucca for about 20 minutes. Take the yucca out of water and mash it with a potato masher. Add 2 tbsp of butter, 2 eggs and salt to taste. Mix all these ingredients properly. Let it cool at room temperature. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Put 2 tsp of this mixture in your hand, if the dough is sticky, and then cover it with some flour. Flatten the dough properly and put some cheese in the middle. Roll the mixture in the form of balls. Set it aside for an hour. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Keep 1 cup of flour on a tray or plate. Cover the balls in flour properly, shake the excess flour out, and deep-fry it in hot oil until they are golden brown. Ensure that the oil does not smoke. Drain the excess oil with paper towels. <strong></strong></li>
