How to Do a 4-Strand Braid for Beginners: Step-by-Step Guide

Detangle your Hair

Before starting the braid, it is essential to detangle your hair with either a comb or brush. Begin by using a wide-tooth comb or brush to gently run through your hair, starting at the bottom and working your way up towards your scalp. This will help remove any knots or tangles that could affect the quality of your braid.

In case your hair is particularly thick or tangled, applying a leave-in conditioner or detangling spray can make the process much smoother and less painful.

While braiding, you can work with either damp or dry hair, but keep in mind that it will affect the final look of your braid. Braiding wet hair tends to produce a tighter braid, while dry hair creates a looser and more relaxed style.

Secure your hair with an elastic band to form a base for the braid

To create a foundation for the braid, use an elastic band to secure your hair in place. Although it’s not necessary to begin with a ponytail, it can be helpful when you’re first learning how to braid. Pull your hair back and tie it up into a ponytail at the spot where you want your braid to begin. However, if you’re already skilled in braiding, you can skip this step altogether.

Step by Step Guide

Braiding your hair can be a fun and creative way to style your hair. The 4-strand braid is a simple yet beautiful hairstyle that can be easily done with a bit of practice. In this blog post, we will discuss how to 4-strand braid for beginners.

Step 1: Divide your hair into 4 sections

Start by dividing your hair into 4 equal sections. You can use your fingers to do this, or you can use a comb to create more precise sections. Secure the sections with hair ties or clips to keep them separated.

Step 2: Cross the strands

Take the strand on the far left and cross it over the second strand from the left. The strand on the far left will now be the second strand from the left.

Step 3: Cross the strands again

Take the strand on the far right and cross it over the second strand from the right. The strand on the far right will now be the second strand from the right.

Step 4: Cross the strands in the middle

Take the strand on the far left and cross it over the second strand from the right. The strand on the far left will now be the second strand from the right. Then take the strand on the far right and cross it over the second strand from the left. The strand on the far right will now be the second strand from the left.

Step 5: Repeat the pattern

Continue this pattern, crossing the strands in the order of far left, far right, far left, far right, and so on. Keep braiding until you reach the end of your hair.

Step 6: Secure the braid

Once you have reached the end of your hair, secure the braid with a hair tie or clip.

Tips for 4-Strand Braiding

Practice makes perfect. The more you practice, the easier it will become. Make sure the sections are even. If the sections are uneven, the braid will look messy. Keep your hands close to your head. This will help you to control the braid and prevent it from unraveling. Use a mirror. It’s helpful to have a mirror in front of you so you can see what you’re doing.
Conclusion

The 4-strand braid is a great hairstyle for beginners. It’s simple to do and looks great on all hair types. With a bit of practice, you’ll be able to create beautiful braids in no time. Remember to be patient and have fun with it. Good luck!

How to Execute the 4 Move Checkmate in Chess: A Step-by-Step Guide

The 4 move checkmate is one of the fastest and most aggressive ways to win a game of chess. This checkmate involves making just four moves in the opening, catching your opponent off-guard and securing a quick win. In this article, we will discuss how to perform the 4 move checkmate in chess.

Before we get into the specifics of the 4 move checkmate, it’s important to understand a few basic chess concepts. First, each player starts with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The objective of the game is to put your opponent’s king in a position where it is under attack and cannot escape, known as checkmate.

Now, let’s discuss the four moves that make up the 4 move checkmate:

e4: This is a common opening move that controls the center of the board and frees up the bishop and queen for future moves.

Qh5: This move brings the queen out into play and attacks the f7 square, which is one of the weakest points in Black’s position.

Nc6: This is a natural move for Black, as it develops a knight and defends the f7 square. However, it also creates a weakness on d6, which we will exploit in the next move.

Bc4: This move attacks the f7 square again and puts pressure on Black’s position. If Black tries to defend with a move like d5, White can play Qxf7# (checkmate) and win the game.

It’s important to note that the 4 move checkmate is not a guaranteed win. Experienced players will often recognize this opening and be prepared to defend against it. If your opponent responds differently to any of these four moves, you should adjust your strategy accordingly.

Additionally, it’s important to not rely solely on the 4 move checkmate in your games. While it can be a powerful and surprising tactic, it is not a reliable long-term strategy. Instead, focus on developing your pieces, controlling the center of the board, and making strong moves that put pressure on your opponent.

In conclusion, the 4 move checkmate is a quick and aggressive way to win a game of chess. By making just four moves, you can catch your opponent off-guard and secure a win. However, it’s important to not rely solely on this tactic and instead focus on developing strong chess skills that will serve you well in the long-term.

How to solve a Rubik’s cube for Beginners in 2023

The Rubik’s Cube is the world’s best-selling toy, and you’ve probably discovered it by now. You might pick it up and try playing with it, flipping the sides, hoping to put at least some of the pieces together. But solving a Rubik’s Cube alone without help is a challenging task. The creator himself, Erno Rubik, took two months!

This blog is meant to guide you to solve the Rubik’s Cube and your journey to solving the cube.

The Basics

1. Colours

The cube has 6 sides, each representing a color – white, yellow, blue, green, orange, and red.

2. Pieces

There are three types of cuts –

Center – they are fixed and serve as guides for solving puzzles. In a solved cube, all the pieces of a particular color surround the center of that color. In a rolled die, the center represents the side where the details of a specific color should be.


Corners – As the name suggests, corner pieces are located at the cube’s corners. Each section consists of three different colors. Each cube shape has 8 corners, and thus there are 8 corners of the Rubik’s Cube.


Edge – An edge is a part between two corners. They consist of two colors. The Rubik’s Cube has 12 edges.

3. Notation

The [] notate the movement of the layer from the natural holding position for a better understanding 

  • R – Right side clockwise [Right side upwards]
  • R’ – Right side anticlockwise [Right side downwards]
  • L –  Left side clockwise [Left side downwards]
  • L’ – Left side anticlockwise [Left side upwards] (Note: L and R may be confusing at first since the moves are opposite to each other)
  • F – Front side clockwise 
  • F’ – Front side anticlockwise
  • U – Upper face clockwise
  • U’ – Upper face anticlockwise

How is the Cube Solved?

A common misconception is that the dice are broken color by color. This is not possible due to the cut’s nature and the cube’s design. Instead, we approached the cube layer by layer. The bottom layer is completed. First, the middle layer follows, and the last layer towards the end, building the layer on top of the previous one.

The method discussed in this blog is known as the starter method. In the upstart method, the solution is divided into 6 steps –

1. First layer 

  • White cross
  • White corners

2. Second layer

  • Non-yellow edges

3. Last Layer

  • Yellow cross
  • Yellow corners and edges
  • Completing the top layer

Step 1:- First layer 

White Cross

Crosses usually start out white and this tutorial also uses white as the initial layer. The steps to complete the cross are listed below.

  • Find each white edge of your cube and identify the non-white edges (edges are two colors, so white edges have white parts and non-white parts are different colors).
  • Connect the non-white parts to their center with a dash and sample – this should be easy to do in 2-3 moves.
  • Once the shape is aligned with the center, rotate the shape so that the white portion is aligned with the white center.


You have successfully cracked a piece! Repeat this process for the other white edge until you get a white cross.

White Corners 

White angles are the easiest to learn. Before continuing, try this move sequence on your cube – R U R’ U’. You’ve just learned your first algorithm! The algorithm consists of a series of moves that help us move the cube’s pieces without disturbing the other pieces’ final position.

  • Start by positioning the cube so that the white center is facing down.
  • Find the white corner on the top level. Identify the non-white parts of the white corners.
  • Move the top layer until the white corner lands between the corresponding middle of the non-white parts (see image).
  • Run the algorithm – R U R’ U’ until the white corners are resolved correctly.
  • Repeat for all white corners.

Step 2:- Second layer 

1. Non-yellow edges

ALGORITHMS USED  

  • U R U’ R’ U’ F’ U F. [center on the right]
  • U’ L’ U L U F U’ F. ‘ [center on the left]

The second layer works on the positioning of non-yellow edges: 

  • Find the edge that isn’t yellow.
  • Identify the edge in front of you and match it to the center of the same color by rotating the top layer.
  • Identify the edges connecting to the yellow center and find the corresponding center.
  • Use the first algorithm if the center is on the right side of the cube’s current position. Otherwise, use the second algorithm.

Step 3: Last Layer 

1. Yellow cross – F R U R’ U’ F’

The yellow cross can be divided into three cases. The algorithm used for each patient is the same, but the starting positions are different. Identify the squares on your cube and position them according to their corresponding parts on the image. Just repeat the algorithm until the cross is solved.

2. Positioning last layer edges – R U R’ U R U2 R.’

Now let’s match the edges to the center of the last layer. Match each top layer edge with its center on the middle layer. Now repeat the algorithm until all the edges match the midpoint.

3. Last layer corners – U R U’ L’ U R’ U’ L

Now to match all the corner pieces on the top layer, find the matched corners and hold them on the front right corner of the cube. If none of the corner pieces are in the correct place, you can hold the cube in any orientation with the pieces that don’t match on top and apply the algorithm.

4. Top layer corners –  R’ D’ R D

Now keep the yellow pages and the non-aligned corners on the front right corner, use the above algorithm until the corners are aligned, then rotate the top layer and bring the non-aligned corners to the front right corner and flip you then apply the same algorithm again until the corners are resolved. Repeat this process until all corners are resolved.

With this final step, the cube is finally solved.

Congratulations on completing the Cube! Even if the first solutions are confusing, remember that you get better with each completion. It usually takes 5-10 solutions to get used to a new method, so keep practicing.

Once you get used to solving cubes, you can also start timing. This marks the beginning of your journey into the world of speedcubing. Learn more about how to start your cube journey, what you need to get started, and how to upgrade!

Russian Missile Strikes in Ukraine: Nuclear Power Plant Shutdown

On Thursday, a series of missile strikes from Russia hit several regions in Ukraine, causing power outages in multiple areas and severing the electricity supply to a nuclear power plant that is controlled by Russia. The state operator of Ukraine’s power plants, Energoatom, confirmed that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant had lost its power supply as a result of the attacks, stating that “the last connection between the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and the Ukrainian power system has been cut off.” Officials installed by Russia in the Zaporizhzhia region dismissed the disruption of electricity to the nuclear power station from Ukrainian-controlled territory as “a provocation.”

According to Energoatom, the fifth and sixth reactors of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant have been shut down due to the Russian missile attacks. The plant is now being powered by 18 diesel generators, which have enough fuel to last for 10 days. The attacks targeted several cities across Ukraine, including Zhytomyr, Vynnytsia, Rivne, Dnipro, Poltava, and even the south-western part of the capital city, Kyiv, where explosions were reported. In addition, the governor of Odesa region reported on Telegram that a mass missile attack had hit an energy facility in the Black Sea port city, causing power cuts and damage to nearby residences. The governor also warned of potential further attacks and stated that anti-aircraft units had successfully intercepted some of the missiles.

Fortunately, there are no casualties. Electricity restrictions are in effect.

Although residential areas were hit, there were no reported casualties from the Russian missile attacks. Oleh Synehubov, governor of Ukraine’s second largest city Kharkiv, reported that the city and surrounding areas were hit by 15 strikes, with infrastructure among the targets. Ukrainian Railways reported power outages in certain areas, causing delays for some trains. Emergency power cuts were implemented in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Odesa regions, resulting in around 15% of energy consumers in the capital being without power, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Further explosions were reported in the cities of Chernihiv, Lviv, Dnipro, Lutsk, and Rivne.

Ukrainian media also reported explosions in the western regions of Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil. Russia has been hitting Ukraine with these massive missile attacks since last October.

Initially, the barrages targeting the country’s energy infrastructure took place weekly, plunging the entire cities into darkness, but became more spread out in time, with commentators speculating that Moscow may be saving up ammunition.

Evolution of Oscar Awards Categories: Remembering the Discontinued Ones

It’s remarkable that many crucial aspects of the Academy Awards have remained unchanged since its inception. Despite having 94 ceremonies, the show has consistently featured a host, as well as categories like Best Actor/Actress and Best Cinematography. This consistency has made the Academy Awards appealing to both casual viewers and award-season enthusiasts. However, not all categories introduced into the ceremony have become a permanent fixture of the show. Throughout the years, several Oscar categories have been discontinued. Although many have been forgotten by the general public, it’s still essential to recall their existence and understand why they were eventually removed.

The First Discontinued Oscars Categories

In the inaugural Academy Awards ceremony, while some key categories became permanent fixtures, there were also several categories that were immediately discontinued. These categories were created to expand the scope of recognition for outstanding films of the year. One such example was the division of Best Director into two categories: Best Director, Comedy Picture and Best Director, Dramatic Picture. The winners in these categories were Lewis Milestone for “Two Arabian Knights” and Frank Borzage for “7th Heaven,” respectively. However, the following year saw the consolidation of these categories into a single Best Director category.

During the first Academy Awards, the Best Picture category was divided into two separate categories: the Academy Award for Outstanding Picture and the Academy Award for Best Unique and Artistic Direction. This decision allowed both “Wings” and “Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans” to receive the most prestigious awards of the night. However, in retrospect, it seems like an odd distinction to make between films. The Academy apparently shared this sentiment, as the two categories were quickly consolidated into a single Best Picture category the following year. According to film historian Monica Roxanne Sandler, the decision to abandon the two categories likely stemmed from the fact that the terms used to differentiate them were too similar. While it’s understandable to divide categories based on genres like Comedy/Musical and Drama, having two Best Picture categories that were not substantially different from each other did not make sense.

The final category to be eliminated from the Oscars was Best Title Writing. The exclusion of this category was influenced by a broader shift in the kind of films being produced. According to Awards and Shows, this award was designed to recognize the best writing of dialogue titles in silent movies. It was considered an important category during the first Academy Awards, where both Best Picture winners were silent features. However, the advent of talkies, exemplified by the success of “The Jazz Singer,” quickly rendered the Best Title Writing category obsolete within a year. Unlike the discarded additional Best Director or Best Picture categories, there was no modern successor to carry on the spirit of Best Title Writing in the subsequent Oscar ceremonies. It was simply relegated to the Academy Awards trash heap.

The 1930s Sees the Oscars Discard More Categories

During the 1930s, the Academy Awards witnessed a significant turnover in terms of categories being introduced and subsequently discarded. Two categories, Best Short Subject – Comedy and Best Short Subject – Novelty, marked the first time that live-action short films were recognized at the Oscars. This was a welcome change that allowed exceptional filmmakers and their brief works to receive recognition. However, by the end of the decade, these categories were replaced by Best Short Subject – 1 Reel and Best Short Subject – 2 Reel. It was not until the 30th Academy Awards ceremony in the late 1950s that all these categories were consolidated into a single Best Live-Action Short Film category.

At the 6th Academy Awards, a Best Assistant Director category was introduced, allowing for seven different winners in its inaugural year. However, subsequent iterations of the category only allowed for one winner, and it was eventually removed by the end of the 1930s. The mid-1930s also saw the introduction of a Best Dance Direction category, aimed at recognizing the flourishing musical genre. However, this category did not last long and was eventually discarded. In hindsight, this decision proved to be wise, given the dearth of musical films during the 1970s and 1980s, making it difficult to justify the annual inclusion of the category.

Following the 1930s, the Academy Awards generally maintained the categories it had introduced, aside from the consolidation of the Live-Action short film categories. Although new categories were still introduced, such as Best Original Screenplay and Best Documentary Feature in the 1940s, they were more likely to become permanent fixtures than in the past. Nevertheless, this doesn’t imply that the Oscars haven’t eliminated some categories in recent years that had previously appeared to be permanent parts of the show.

Which Categories Have the Oscars Removed Recently?

In the mid-1990s, the Best Original Score category was divided into two distinct categories based on genre. The Academy Awards now presented awards for Best Original Dramatic Score and Best Original Musical or Comedy Score. According to The Los Angeles Times, this decision was made in response to a series of Disney animated musicals that swept the category in the early 1990s. The perception was that voters were selecting movies with big musical numbers rather than instrumental scores. However, the Best Original Musical or Comedy Score category was discontinued by the 72nd Academy Awards, the first ceremony of the new century. This decision proved to be fortuitous, as Disney’s animated musical dominance waned by the end of the 1990s. The Best Original Score category would remain divided into only one category from then on.

The category known today as Best Sound Editing had a complicated history, starting out as Best Sound Effects at the Oscars. However, it was only awarded sporadically as a Special Achievement category during the 1970s and 1980s. Renamed Best Sound Effects Editing, it finally became a regular category by the 1990s. Along with the renamed Best Sound Mixing category, it was merged back into the Best Sound category in the early 2000s. This move was met with mixed reactions from the sound effects industry. Nevertheless, it was widely believed that the decision was inevitable, as many Oscar voters were perceived to lack a proper understanding of the differences between Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.

The only Oscars category that has been permanently removed from the ceremony in the 21st century is the Best Sound Editing category. This highlights the significant progress the Academy Awards have made since the early days, where everything was undefined and even the number of Best Picture categories was undecided. Nowadays, the Academy Awards have a fixed number of categories, which provides consistency for viewers and organizers alike. Nevertheless, it’s still valuable to look back on past Oscar categories such as Best Assistant Director and Best Title Writing, which offer a glimpse into the history of cinema and how the Oscars have evolved with it. While the Oscars may seem unchanging from the outside, the removal of certain categories reflects broader cinematic trends and demonstrates that the Academy Awards are always growing and adapting.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is hospitalized after falling at a hotel in Washington, DC.

“Tonight, Leader McConnell stumbled into a local hotel during a private dinner. He is hospitalized and is being treated,” a Kentucky Republican spokesperson said in a statement.

No further information was provided.

The 81-year-old is the longest-serving Senate GOP leader, known for helping the party achieve top Republican priorities, including filling the Supreme Court with conservative judges, passing Trump-era tax cuts, and frequent frustration with Democratic legislative agendas.

His hospitalization came as the Senate was divided, and Democrats controlled the chamber by a margin of 51-49.

Democratic Senators John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Dianne Feinstein of California have also been hospitalized recently, with Fetterman seeking treatment for depression and Feinstein for shingles.

Feinstein tweeted Tuesday that he was recovering at home.

On Wednesday, a crucial senatorial committee voted 13-8 to move forward with the nomination of Eric Garcetti as the US Ambassador to India. The 52-year-old is the former mayor of Los Angeles and was nominated by President Joe Biden for this significant diplomatic position in July 2021.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved the nomination of Garcetti at its business meeting on Wednesday, paving the way for it to be presented to the Senate floor for a full vote.

Afternoon, the nomination of Eric Garcetti was passed through the Senatorial committee with the support of two Republican Senators, Todd Young and Bill Hagerty, who voted in favor of him alongside the Democratic lawmakers.

During Biden’s initial two years in office, Garcetti’s confirmation was not granted due to lawmakers’ concerns regarding his alleged mishandling of allegations against a former senior adviser of sexual assault and harassment during his time as mayor. This week, Senator Chuck Grassley urged his fellow lawmakers to vote against Garcetti.

Senator Young, a GOP member, defended his decision to vote in favor of Garcetti.

On 8th March afternoon the Senatorial committee passed Eric Garcetti’s nomination with support from two Republican Senators, Todd Young and Bill Hagerty, who voted in favor of him alongside Democratic lawmakers.

During the first two years of Biden’s term, concerns arose among some lawmakers that Garcetti, as then-mayor, had not sufficiently addressed allegations of sexual assault and harassment against a former senior adviser. As a result, Garcetti was not confirmed at that time. This week, Senator Chuck Grassley called for a vote against Garcetti.

In defense of his decision to support Garcetti, GOP Senator Young spoke out.

Last week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre informed reporters that Eric Garcetti had been approved in a bipartisan manner by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. She emphasized the importance of bipartisan support in the confirmation process and expressed hope for the Senate to proceed with his nomination on the floor.
