Melt the butter. Insert sticks into the cake balls. Dip the cake balls. Repeat with the rest.

Soften 2 US tbsp (30 mL) of butter in the microwave.

You can either use a microwave-safe bowl or create a double boiler. Stir the chocolate to make sure everything is melted evenly. Prick them in the center, just enough to pick them up from the parchment paper and hold.  If you're wanting to present the cake balls on a stick, it's recommended to use lollipop sticks, which can be found in specialty baking aisles. Dip about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of the stick into the melted chocolate prior to inserting them into the cake balls. If you're wanting to present the cake balls in decorative individual wrappers, poke them with toothpicks. While holding the lollipop stick or toothpick, submerge the cake ball into the melted chocolate. When lifting it back up, gently lift them in a swirling motion or give them a gentle shake. If you are using toothpicks, remove them from the balls. Add a very small amount of extra melted chocolate to cover the holes. You can use the back of a spoon to evenly spread out any extra coating as well. Place the chocolate covered cake ball in the same place on the waxed paper. Pick up the next one and repeat the dipping until everything is covered.

TL;DR in English: Melt the chocolate. Insert sticks into the cake balls. Dip the cake balls. Repeat with the rest.
###
Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time. Check the firmness of the butter after each 10-second increment. Depending on the power of your microwave, it may only take 1 heat cycle to soften the butter. The butter does not need to be completely melted; it only needs to be soft enough so that it can be easily mixed with the other ingredients.

Hamsters like to be awake at night, so the best time to spend time with your hamster is after the sun has gone down. For this reason, hamsters make great pets for night owls. Be aware that if you try to pick up your hamster during the day, it will be more likely to bite you. To help keep your hamster happy and healthy, you will need to keep his cage nice and clean. Once per week you should also perform a deep cleaning on your hamster’s cage. Remove everything from your hamster’s cage (including your hamster) and scrub the sides and bottom with warm, soapy water. Then rinse and dry the cage before putting in new bedding, your hamster’s accessories, and your hamster. In addition to a weekly deep clean, you should also do the following every day:  Remove and replace any soiled or damp bedding. Remove and dispose of droppings. Check the corners of your hamster’s cage for hidden food. Hamsters have a tendency to stash food for later. It will take some time and patience before your hamster is ready to let you hold him. Build up his trust in you by allowing him to sniff your hand and even give you a little nibble. You can also offer your hamster a treat from your hand to build up his trust in you. Once your hamster is comfortable with you, you can try to pick him up. To pick up your hamster, gently cup both hands around him and lift him slowly out of his cage. Do not swoop in and grab him or you will startle him and cause him to hide from you. Hamsters also need time outside of their cages to be happy. Once you have established trust with your hamster, take him out of his cage once per day for a little supervised playtime outside of his cage.  Make sure to keep him in a room where you can monitor his movement. Otherwise he might hide somewhere and make it difficult for you to find him. Make sure that there are no hazards in the area, such as electrical cords, that your hamster might gnaw on. A healthy hamster will be much happier than an unhealthy hamster. If a hamster is well cared for, it may live to be 1-2 years...

TL;DR in English: Remember that hamsters are nocturnal animals. Clean your hamster’s cage regularly. Handle your hamster with care. Allow your hamster some supervised time outside of his cage each day. Get regular veterinary care for your hamster.

Cover the outlet with a piece of furniture to hide it from view if you don't plan on use it. If you need to temporarily use the outlet, you can always rearrange the furniture or thread the cord underneath the furniture.  Choose lightweight furniture so you can easily move it toward and away from the wall. Keep the furniture at least several inches or centimeters away from the wall for easier access to the outlet. For outlets positioned higher on the wall, screw a hook or nail into the wall above it. Hang the picture over the outlet for easy access in case you need to use it while effectively hiding it. Avoid taping posters over the outlet, as these can be harder to remove if you need to use it. If you're using the outlet for a device, position the device directly in front of it. Roll up the cord as much as possible and set it behind the device to keep it from drawing attention to the outlet. If you have stereo speakers, for example, position them directly in front of the outlet so they hide it while you're using them. Hollow boxes hide your entire outlet at once, and they usually have a discreet hole in the side for cables in case you need to use it. Use a hollow box if you want to cover the entire outlet while preventing others from touching it.  If you're hiding an outdoor outlet, you can also buy hollow boxes that look like rocks. You can buy hollow boxes from most hardware or home improvement stores. With a hinged cover, you can keep the outlet hidden when you're not using it without compromising its function. Purchase a hinged cover from a hardware store or online and snap it over the outlet panel. To further hide the outlet, purchase a decorative hinged cover. Some hinged covers look like small paintings or have an artistic design. Pop-out and hinged outlets disguise the outlet with the wall until touched. Contact an electrician to determine which type is best for your wall and replace your old outlet with one that's easier to hide.  Pop-out outlets, as the name suggests, are hidden in the wall until...

There are numerous websites that specialize in how-to articles. They usually want experts in a particular field who can edit existing articles and publish new ones. If you are an expert in a particular field, consider applying to one of these sites for the opportunity to earn money writing about something you know. You may not need any particular expertise to write for a how-to site. It may require you to develop research skills and become an authority on certain topics quickly. With good research skills, you can produce articles on several different topics. Several websites are dedicated to publishing articles about traveling in exotic and domestic locations. If you love to travel and want to share good stories and experiences, check if travel sites will pay you to write articles. The Expeditioner, for example, accepts submissions and will pay approximately $30 per article. Some websites pay for reviews of movies, plays, music and products. Earn money online by becoming a reviewer for these sites. Start at a website like Sponsored Reviews or Review Me to gain experience in this field. Independent and corporate bloggers who can't  keep up with the demand of writing regular posts are willing to pay good money for a ghostwriter. These jobs come on a case by case basis, or they can turn into a regular job if the blogger likes your work.  Keep an eye out on job sites for postings about this kind of work. You can also apply directly to a ghostwriting firm. Ghostwriters do not get credit for their work. This could potentially hurt you if ghostwriting is all you do, because you won't build a portfolio. Ideally, ghostwriting should be in addition to other writing work.

TL;DR in English:


Consider adding pressed flowers, shells, or other decorations. For a simple touch, collage a few pictures. Don't be afraid to make it weird.

Communication is the process of transferring signals/messages between a sender and a receiver through various methods (written words, nonverbal cues, spoken words). It is also the mechanism we use to establish and modify relationships. Be confident in knowing that you can make worthwhile contributions to conversation. Take time each day to be aware of your opinions and feelings so you can adequately convey them to others. Individuals who are hesitant to speak because they do not feel their input would be worthwhile need not fear. What is important or worthwhile to one person may not be to another and may be more so to someone else. Developing advanced communication skills begins with simple interactions. Communication skills can be practiced every day in settings that range from the social to the professional. New skills take time to refine, but each time you use your communication skills, you open yourself to opportunities and future partnerships.

TL;DR in English: Know what communication really is. Have courage to say what you think. Practice.

The outside of the card is where you'll do the most adornment. Pick a theme based on the season, the occasion, or the person you're making the card for.  Pressed flowers that you lightly glue to the card can make wonderful and eye-popping 3D decorations in the springtime, sprucing up a card with a natural highlight of color. It's a great idea for people with a green thumb. You could also add shells to summertime cards for a unique touch. This works especially well for gift tags or other types of place cards. Saving old school books, kids' books, magazines, and newspapers can be a great source for making cards. If you don't have a big store of them laying around, hit up a local thrift shop for extremely cheap (or even free) piles of cut-up magazines that you can repurpose for your cards.  Nature magazines are a great source of card-material, as well as magazines that feature lots of advertisements. The high contrast colors in magazine ads look great when cut up for cards. For a real shortcut, you could even consider saving your old cards and cutting shapes from them to reuse in new cards. Repurpose those old Christmas cards you always recycle by cutting out the manger scene or the Christmas tree from the front and putting it front and center on your own card. No one will know the difference, and you'll save money. Quirky holiday cards are usually better received than deadly-serious ones. Little jokes, non-sequiters, or weird pictures of sea creatures should be welcomed and embraced in the card-making tradition.  Your family's never heard of the Hannukah Squid? Time to change your traditions. Cut out an idyllic holiday scene being attacked by floating clouds of squid with Santa hats and HAPPYNESS in all caps on the inside. The less sense, the better. Making something weird doesn't mean you should send a crude card to your mother-in-law for her favorite holiday, or that you should try to make a funny sympathy card, but you should send something that the receiver will appreciate. Know their sense of humor and...

. If another person is intentionally trying to hurt or upset you, it's important not to give them what they want. On the other hand, if they're not being intentionally hurtful, reacting with anger can escalate the situation unnecessarily. Even if you're furious, sad, or scared, do your best to appear calm and collected. You may find it helpful to:   Take deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Slowly count to 10 in your head. Keep your face neutral and expressionless. If someone's being rude or hurtful to you, you may feel the urge to lash out or strike back with harsh words of your own. However, doing so will probably only make the situation worse. Instead of blurting out the first thing that comes into your head in the heat of the moment, stop and think about whether what you want to say is necessary, true, or helpful. If not, don't say it!   Resist the urge to yell, cry, or insult the other person. Try gently biting your tongue or putting your finger to your lips if you feel tempted to snap back or speak before you think. If do you want to respond, but you need time to calm down and choose your words first, try saying, “Excuse me, I need a moment.” Step out of the room so you can calm down. If you're pretty sure the other person is intentionally bullying you or trying to hurt your feelings, simply walking away may be the best way to deal with the situation. This will let them know that you are not interested in engaging with their hurtful and inappropriate behavior.  If you feel comfortable doing so, calmly say something like, “Stop doing that,” or “The way you're acting is out of line. I'm leaving.” If you can't just walk away, use your actions to show the other person you're not willing to interact. For example, you might take out your phone and start playing a game, put in your earbuds, or turn away and talk to someone else who is with you. Sometimes ignoring somebody isn't the best reaction to hurtful behavior. For example, if the person who hurt you is a family member, friend, or...

Calm your anxiety before going into the party. Smile at other guests to appear more confident. Think about the purpose of the party. Learn your way around the party. Tweak your personal habits to be more approachable. Look at the other party guests. Think about what you’re likely to have in common. Offer to help the host. Find the buffet table.

Most toddlers will eat a variety of fruits, so try incorporating them into the daily diet as breakfast and snacks. Use vegetables in every lunch and dinner, and set a good example for your child by eating vegetables yourself as well. Children should have regular sources of lean protein, such as yogurt, fish, chicken, and some whole grains. Work within your child’s preferences but make it clear that protein is an important part of mealtime. Toddlers need fresh, healthful food to achieve and maintain an appropriate weight. If your child often eats take-out or packaged foods packed with fat, salt, sugar, and other non-nutritive ingredients, swap them out for carrot sticks, applesauce, strawberry slices, string cheese, and Cheerios. Toddlers need about half the calories of adults, so size portions accordingly. Try dividing the plate into segments: 1/2 vegetables and/or fruits, 1/4 whole grains, and 1/4 lean protein. Many toddlers love to drink fruit juices, but these are often loaded with calories and limited in nutritional value.  If your child drinks a lot of fruit juice (or any other sweetened drink), swap it out for milk or water. Juice, soda, and other sweetened drinks can add hundreds of calories to your toddler’s diet each day. Do not give your toddler drinks that serve as dietary supplements, such as PediaSure. These drinks are formulated for children with difficulty gaining weight or with restrictive diets. If your child eats well and is overweight, avoid high-calorie toddler drinks of this nature.

TL;DR in English: Focus on fruits and vegetables. Feed your toddler lean protein. Avoid fast food and junk food. Keep portions under control. Eliminate sugary drinks.

If you're nervous about entering a party when you don't know anyone there, it's a good idea to calm yourself before trying to meet anyone. Take a deep breath, breathing all the way down to your belly, and breathing out slowly through your nose. Repeat this slow, deep breathing several times. Make sure your feet are placed firmly against the floor, so that you’re well-grounded.  Bring to mind a positive visualization. For example, imagine yourself looking sleek and sexy on the dance floor, or someone attractive laughing at your sense of humor. Realize that no one’s paying attention to you, so there’s no need to feel self-conscious. After all, most people attending parties are also nervous. Repeat this process anytime you start to feel nervous at the party. You may be feeling terrified, but if you smile you’re more likely to look confident. Even if you don't know anyone else at the party, you can increase your social abilities through smiling. In addition, if you're feeling nervous, smiling can help to improve your mood, and reduce stress.  People often respond to a smiling person with a smile of their own, which will make you feel even better. Even a slight smile will be enough to help your facial muscles relax, and your appearance seem less threatening to other party guests. When you look confident, you’ll start to feel confident. What kind of party is it? Social interactions will vary depending on the reason you’re gathered together. If you’re attending a frat party, you’ll need different social skills than you might at a Christmas carol party held by your mom’s church choir.  Remember that other people may not know one another either. Considering the nature of the party, try to gauge how likely it is that many people may be making their first introductions. It will help you feel at ease to figure out the physical layout of the party, if it’s unfamiliar to you. Figure out where the bathroom is, where the food is, where the drinks are, as a way to get comfortable at the party.  Making your way around the...

The flowchart map allows you to examine a process and see the multiple options for getting it done. The flowchart can be linear and can just flow from one concept to the next, but it can also have multiple elements for examining a variety of outcomes. The starting point can be a process or a problem that needs a solution. Let's use the starting point, "Lamp doesn't turn on". For the problem, "Lamp doesn't turn on," the most typical solution is that the lamp is not plugged in. Just write, "Lamp plugged in?" and connect it with an arrow to "Lamp doesn't turn on". Write a line from "Lamp plugged in?" that says "no" and another that says "yes." If you follow the line that says "no", then the response would be "Plug in lamp". Connect this response to "no" with a line. You've completed one flow of the concept, starting with "Lamp doesn't turn on" to "Plug in lamp". If you follow this "flow," then it should solve the problem. But if the lamp is plugged in, you'll follow "yes" to another option: "Bulb burned out?" This is the next logical solution. From the question, "Bulb burned out?" you'll need to branch out two terms: "yes" and "no" If the answer to "Bulb burned out" is "yes," then you'll need to connect this word to the solution, "Replace bulb", You've completed another flow of the concept, because this should fix the broken lamp. But if it turns out that the bulb is not burned out, you'll have to follow "no" to the last option: "Repair lamp". You have now completed a flowchart for the problem of a broken lamp, which will lead you to one of three solutions: plugging it in, replacing the bulb, or repairing the lamp.

TL;DR in English: Choose your starting point or problem. Write the easiest solution for the problem. Write the two results for this solution. Write the results for the next solution.

Your doctor can collect blood samples to test for chikungunya and other mosquito-borne diseases. You should see your doctor if you experience any of the following:  Fever for more than five days or above 103 °F (39°C) Dizziness (possibly due to a neurological issue or dehydration) Cold fingers or toes (Raynaud's) Bleeding from mouth or under skin (this can be Dengue) Rash Joint pain, redness, stiffness, or swelling Low urine output (this can be from dehydration that can lead to kidney damage) Your doctor will take blood samples to send to labs. Several tests or methods will be run on the samples for diagnosis. ELISA (enzyme-linked immunoassay) will look for specific antibodies against the virus. These antibodies normally develop toward the end of the first week of illness and peak around three to weeks lasting up to two months. If they are negative, your doctor may repeat the blood test to see if they have risen.  Viral cultures will also look for growth. These are usually used within the first 3 days of illness, when the virus is rapidly growing.  RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) methods use virus-specific gene coding proteins to replicate specific genes of chikungunya. If it is chikungunya, then the lab will see higher than normal chikungunya genes displayed on a computerized graph. There is no approved/specific treatment or cure for this virus nor a vaccine to prevent you from getting it. Treatment is purely symptom management. The World Health Organization recommends that you start home care treatment by resting. This will provide relief and time for your body to recover. Rest in an environment that is not damp or too hot, which could aggravate your joint symptoms. Apply a cold pack to reduce pain and inflammation. You can use a bag of frozen vegetables, packaged steak, or an ice pack. Wrap the frozen back in a towel and apply it to painful areas. Avoid applying a frozen pack or ice directly to your skin, which could cause tissue damage. If you're experiencing fever and joint pain,...

Both you and your partner are going to have to do some compromising for the relationship to work. Figure out what’s important to you and communicate about that. Keep in mind, however, that it’s important to know the difference between healthy and unhealthy compromises.  For example, if dance is important to you, you could say: “Dance is important to me, and it would mean a lot if you could come to my recitals.” You should do the same for your partner in return by supporting their hobbies. If they attend your dance recitals, then cheer them on during their sports game. You may have to compromise on dates. For example, you could see his choice of movie,  but then go to the restaurant that you want. This one is crucial for a healthy relationship. If you’ve committed to being someone’s girlfriend, that generally means that you’ve committed to being romantic only with them until you break up. Avoid flirting or otherwise being romantic with other people.  Some people prefer open relationships where it’s okay to be romantic or sexual with more than one person. This takes a lot of maturity and communication from all parties. Never assume a relationship is open without talking about it first. Though flirting with someone else is not technically cheating, it can make some people jealous. Avoid doing this in front of your partner out of respect. If you find yourself tempted to cheat, you may not be ready for a relationship, or this may not be the right person for you right now. If you like someone enough to be their girlfriend, you hopefully like them enough to be their friend, too. Friends know how to have fun together and support each other. Keep those things at the center of your relationship, even though it’s now romantic.  Ask your partner how their day was. Check in with them when they’re sick or struggling. Send them cute notes and make sure they know you care. Keep doing things you enjoy together. Just because you’re a couple doesn’t mean that you have to spend all of your time making out. Don’t assume your...

When you have to pass over a section of hair several times to straighten it, unnecessary damage occurs. To avoid this, set your flat iron to the correct temperature for your hair type and allow it to completely preheat before using it.  For natural hair, set you flat iron between 300℉ and 350℉. For fine hair, set your straightener at 360℉ or below. For medium or wavy hair, keep your straightening iron between 360℉ and 380℉. For thick and coarse hair, set your flat iron between 380 and 410℉. While your flat iron preheats, take a moment to separate your hair into manageable sections. Part your hair in half, from the top of your forehead to the base of your skull. Depending on the thickness of your hair, divide each half into 2 or more layers. Clip the layers to keep them separate. Unclip one of the lower layers of hair. Grab a ½ inch to 2 inch section of hair and place the flat iron ½ inch from the roots. Smoothly and swiftly pull the straightener down the length of the hair. If necessary, run the straightener down the section of hair again. Repeat this process on the lower layers of your hair. Put a fine-tooth comb below the flat iron and pull it down with the flat iron so you don't accidentally go over the same section of hair twice. Unclip 1 of the 2 top layers of hair. Grab a ½ inch to 2 inch section of hair and pull the it away from your scalp. Place the straightener as close to the roots as possible. Quickly pull the flat iron outwards and down the length of the hair. If necessary, straighten this section of hair again. Repeat this process on the remaining hair in the top layers.. Complete your sleek look by coating your straight locks with a shine serum. In addition to adding a gorgeous sheen to your hair, shine serums control frizz and smooth strands. When applying this product, follow the instructions on the bottle.

Consider this if you have books ranging from trade paperbacks to oversize art albums. Place the tallest books on the lowest shelf, placing smaller and smaller books as you move upward. This creates a tidy, organized appearance. On some bookcases, this is a necessity to adapt to the height of each shelf. This system looks great, but are best used if you have only one bookcase. In larger collections, they can make a book difficult to find. In addition, you need to consider that you may have to split books from a series, when they do not have the same colour. Here are a few sorting systems based on spine color:  One color per shelf (a blue shelf, a green shelf, and so on). If you're having trouble filling a shelf, wrap some of the books in kraft paper.  A gradual "rainbow" flowing from one color to the next, or from the most saturated colors to pastels. A pattern that creates a flag or other simple image when the whole bookcase is filled. This is time-consuming, but impressive. This is a great system if you consult your books frequently for research or reference. Keep the ones you use daily on the shelf at eye height. and a couple shelves below, where you can easily see and reach them. Books you only use occasionally go on the lowest shelves. Books that you almost never open go on the shelves above your head. If you have enough books to fill two or three bookcases, fill the most visible bookcase with the important books. If you have an even larger collection, this system may not work well. If you have a large number of books you'd like to read, why not give them their own shelf? Keep an empty shelf on the same bookcase so you can slot the finished books back easily. You might want to revisit your organization once you're through your reading list, but this can be convenient in the meantime. Fill the top shelf with books you read in early childhood, and move down adding books in the rough order you discovered them. This one works best for books with strong associated memories – and for people with strong memories...

Exposure therapy is when a person is exposed to the thing they fear the most, but within a safe and supportive setting. In the case of ASAD, you would have to face your fears of separation. To do this, you would very gradually expose yourself to the anxiety provoking situation—such as being away from your home or loved ones—for short periods of time. A psychologist or trained therapist can develop a specific exposure therapy program that can help you overcome your anxiety. If your doctor or therapist decides that exposure therapy is a good idea for you, and you are ready to try it, there are several techniques you can use. For instance, you might start just by thinking about being separated from your home or loved ones, and describe how you feel. Later, you might practice being separated from your loved ones or being away from home for periods of time that increase in length, and then discuss how you felt. Even short-term exposure therapy treatments (three to six sessions) can help ease your anxiety. If your therapist approves, asking your loved one to help you can make the therapy process easier. To begin, have your loved one go into a different room while you practice calming techniques, such as breathing exercises, or work on banishing anxious thoughts. Gradually increase the distance and time that you spend away from your loved one.

Invest in a gold ETF. Invest in a gold ETF is a way to invest in a gold asset.

Different insects live in different places, and there are certain circumstances where it is more likely to be bitten by each of them.  If you were outdoors, and perhaps near a wooded area, you were probably bitten by a mosquito, tick, or spider. If you were near food or garbage, you may have been bitten by a fly, or stung by a bee or wasp. If you were indoors, sitting somewhere or playing with a pet, it may be fleas. In the United States, scorpions are only found in the South and Southwest, particularly Texas and Arizona. Scorpion stings are extremely painful, and most of the time they are easy to rule out. If you were bitten in the southeastern part of the United States by a fly-like creature whose sting feels like a mosquito bite, it may be a deer fly. If you were bitten in your bed while sleeping, it may be bedbugs. If you were bitten on the beach, particularly in the southeast, it may be sand fleas. This is the most common visible symptom of an insect bite, and depending on other symptoms could be from a variety of insects.  A single bite mark is probably from a mosquito or fly. You may notice a tiny bite mark in the center of the mound of a mosquito bite.  Flea bites are a number of small, itchy mounds grouped together. You will probably find them in areas where your clothes fit tightly to your body, such as around your waist. Bedbug bites will be itchy red bumps, maybe with a blister, grouped in rows of two or three. Other types of bites or stings involve the swelling of the skin around the bite area.  Fire ant bites will cause swelling (as much as 1/2 inch) and will fill with pus. They may blister over after a few days.  Scorpion stings can cause swelling, as well as redness of the skin and pain or numbness in the area. Scorpion stings can be very dangerous, and they make most people very ill. Call emergency services or seek medical treatment right away if you suspect a scorpion sting. Stings from these insects will cause an immediate sharp or burning pain and swelling. They will leave a red welt...

TL;DR in English: Figure out where you were when bitten. Look for a small, itchy, red mound. Look for swelling. Check for bee and wasp stings. Look for ticks. Check for head lice.  Rule out serious spider bites. Look for the insect.

Some exchange-traded funds (ETFs) aim to track silver and gold prices and are generally bought through a stockbroker. They are much like derivative contracts that track prices, but they differ in that you will not own the underlying metal assets.   Two examples of ETFs are Market Vectors Gold Miners and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners.  The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF attempts to replicate (before expenses and fees) the yield performance and price of the New York Stock Exchange Arca Gold Miners Index. The portfolio contains gold mining companies of all sizes from around the world. The Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF debuted in 2009. This ETF has become quite  popular among investors seeking to have indirect access to gold assets. Although similar to the Gold Miners, the Junior Gold Miners focuses on smaller companies involved in an ongoing search for new sources of gold. Because these companies are less established, there is more risk involved.    Term of Investment: Short term. There is a fee assessed each year that deducts from the amount of gold backing your investment, making this an expensive way to invest.  Nature of Investment: Medium risk. Because a typical ETF investment can be short- term if you prefer, risk can be minimized. Use the same broker you would use to buy stock, a mutual fund, or shares in a gold ETF, such as GLD and IAU on the New York Stock Exchange. A gold exchange-traded fund is designed to track the price of gold while maintaining the liquidity of a stock.  Note that gold exchange-traded funds do not give you the ability to physically control the gold. Therefore, some gold advocates believe this is an inferior way to own the commodity.   Another disadvantage is that ETFs trade like stocks, and you may have to pay a commission to buy and sell on the exchange. Moreover, any capital gains you realize must be reported for tax purposes.

TL;DR in English:


Pick a feeder that keeps the squirrels out. Hang the feeder on a wire between trees or poles to put it out of reach. Place a slinky around a pole to keep a squirrel from climbing up. Rub the pole with shortening or petroleum jelly to make it unclimbable. Spike your birdseed with cayenne pepper so the squirrels won't like it.

To create a leather cuff, you will need strips of tooled leather, leather glue, a leather needle, waxed linen thread, and a button snap or clasp for the ends of the bracelet. Use a ruler to measure a strip of leather 2 inches (5.08 cm) wide, by the length of your wrist plus one inch. Cut the leather to size with a pair of sharp scissors or utility knife. Attach your cut and sized leather to a larger, tooled piece of leather with leather glue. Use your fingers to smooth out any wrinkles, and allow it to dry overnight. Adding a second layer of leather to your bracelet will give a more finished look. Trim the edge off the tooled leather to make it the same size as your original strip. You should now be left with a nearly completed double-sided leather strip. Use a leather needle and waxed linen thread to stitch the cuff together. Any stitch is appropriate; the stitching is simply securing the edges of the leather and giving a more sophisticated look. Use your needle and thread or the leather glue to secure your clasps to either end. With the completion of this step, you're finished!

TL;DR in English: Get your supplies prepared. Measure and cut your leather. Layer your leather. Cut the bracelet to size. Stitch the edges. Add your clasps.

If you're just feeding small birds, you can choose one that has a cage around the feeder. The holes are small enough for the birds to fit through, but the squirrels can't squeeze through. Another option is to place a dome-shaped squirrel buffer on the bottom. It curves down from the feeder, making it difficult for the squirrel to climb up a pole. You can also place one on top curving over the feeder if it's hanging from a pole above. String several empty thread spools or pieces of PVC pipe on either side of the feeder. Even if the squirrel climbs the wire down to the feeder, the spools or pipe will spin and likely cause it to fall off. Pick thin, slippery wire or thread. Fishing line works well for this purpose. Make sure there are no branches near the feeder that the squirrel can jump from. They can jump 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0 m) horizontally. Attach the slinky to the pole at the top of the pole. When the squirrel tries to climb the pole, it will grab the slinky. The slinky will slide down, landing the squirrel back on the ground. Some squirrels learn to outsmart this trick, though. Often, the squirrel won't even attempt to climb the pole because it feels sticky. However, if a squirrel does try to climb it, it will just slide back down the pole. Sprinkle cayenne pepper flakes or powder into the birdseed, making sure to get it all through the seed. Birds can't taste the heat of this spice, as they don't have the receptors. However, squirrels can, and they don't like it.  They may get into your birdseed a few times, but they'll soon learn that it doesn't taste good. You can also use safflower seeds for the birds instead of regular bird feed, as squirrels don't like these seeds.

You can use any silverware or paper napkins you like. You can choose to use napkins that are all white, solid colored, or patterned. Just make sure they are square shaped and large enough to hold your silverware.  Make sure your paper napkins are high quality and durable. You do not want them to rip while folding. Avoid cocktail napkins that are only 9 1⁄2 inches (24 cm) square. Use lunch or dinner napkins, which are typically 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) square, and large enough to hold standard size silverware. To begin, put your napkin flat on the table. Then, place your knife on the napkin so that it lies diagonally. The point of the knife should be just slightly past the corner point, about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm). Where you place your knife is very important, as this how far your cutlery will stick out of the napkin roll when you’re finished. Make sure the knife doesn't stick out too far, or your silverware may fall out of the napkin. If you’re worried about your silverware roll unraveling, hold it in place with a paper napkin band. You can find napkin bands in a variety of colors online or in stores. Most are self-adhesive, so all you need to do is place it tightly around the completed napkin roll and secure it in place. If you’re using napkin rolls for a wedding or other special event, you can find some online stores that allow you to customize your napkin bands. Add your personal style to the napkin roll by tying a ribbon or string around it. You can tie the ribbon or string in a simple knot, or make a bow, depending on your personal preference. If you used a napkin band to hold the napkin in place, you can tie the string or ribbon around the center of the band.  Match your silverware display to the current season or occasion. For example, for a graduation party, wrap silverware in a white napkin and a red ribbon to look like a rolled diploma. You can place all of your rolled silverware in a basket for a nice silverware display at a buffet.

TL;DR in English: Obtain cutlery and a square paper napkin. Place the knife on the napkin diagonally. Use a napkin band to hold the silverware in place. Tie a string or ribbon around the napkin for added decoration.

Solve an anagram by rearranging the letters of a word to reveal the hint, which, along with the definition, will help you find the clue’s answer. As with the previous clue, “edict” becomes “cited” after you shuffle the letters in the wordplay around.  Spot an anagram by looking for words that indicate change or modifications. Common anagram indicator words include “transfer,” “cook,” “dress,” “out,” “off,” “moved,” or “lost.” The words you will need to jumble will be located either directly before or after the indicator word. For example, the following clue is an anagram: “Dress suiting a saint.” “Saint” is the definition and “dress suiting a” is the wordplay. “Dress” indicates that this is an anagram because it implies change. Since there are no words preceding “dress,” you know that the words that follow it, “suiting a,” are the words that need to be rearranged. “Suiting a” can be reshuffled to reveal “Ignatius,” a saint! Anagrams are often the longest words in the crossword puzzle. Charades are formed by joining parts of words from the clue together to create a new word. Charades do not usually have indicator words, but typically contain words such as “has,” “with,” “and,” or similar conjunctions.   You’ll often need to think in terms of synonyms to know which words to join together. For example, in the following clue, “wave cereal bowl,” “wave” is the definition. By process of elimination, you know you are working with the words “cereal” and “bowl.” If you look for synonyms, you’ll get “bran” (for cereal) and “dish” (for bowl).  Using the charades method of combining words, you’ll get “brandish,” which is the answer because it is a synonym of your definition, “wave.” In addition to synonyms, you may need to work with word abbreviations in order to solve charade clues. For example, “place on bottom of sack:” “Pl” is the abbreviation for “place” and “under” is a synonym for “on bottom.” Combine the two to get “plunder,” which also means “sack” (your definition). Identify a hidden-words clue by recognizing...

TL;DR in English: Rearrange the clue's letters when dealing with anagram clues. Join parts of words together to find the answer with charade clues. Combine letters from different words to answer clues with hidden words.

If your spouse has complained to you about your family, you want to work to solve the problem as quickly as you can. Ignoring or delaying addressing the issue can result in a resentful spouse.  Ignoring the problem will make your spouse dislike being around your family even more, and it will also start to impact your relationship. Let your partner know how and when you plan to address the issue. For example, you could say, “I’m going to bring this up when my mom and I have lunch next week.” Having a concrete plan of action will ease your spouse’s mind and will hold you accountable to follow through. Bring your concerns to a family member (perhaps one who could share the information with other family members as necessary) on behalf of your spouse. Your family has more experience in relating to you than your spouse. You also understand your family’s dynamics better than your spouse, and you have a better idea how to interact with them.  Have a conversation with your family member over the phone or in person. Let them know how your spouse feels. Listen to your family member’s perspective. Keep in mind, your family member may have no idea that their behavior has hurt your spouse. Ask for suggestions on how your family member thinks the situation could improve. For example, “What do you think we could do to help Carlos feel more included?” Explain how your spouse views the situation. Share your spouse’s feelings and give any background information you think is important.  Present a united front and indicate that this is causing you pain as well. For example, “Lena feels that you don’t like her after you said she wasn’t a good mother for not taking more maternity leave. She called you out on it, and both of us think you have been cold to her ever since. Did you know she only got two months of paid leave? It hurts both of us that you said that about her. It is not true, and we feel it was mean-spirited.” Find out if there is an issue you might need to address with your partner. Your spouse may not be an innocent...

rite the melody first. It's very difficult to set pre-existing rhymes and words to a melody after the fact. Most songwriters find it much easier to compose the melody and then go about composing a set of lyrics that fit in with the tone and the structure of the song.  Many songwriters find it helpful to sing nonsense syllables or whistle to figure out the melody and establish a base form for you to fill with words. Go with whatever technique works best for your process. Bob Dylan, considered by some to be one of the greatest songwriters ever, often wrote words first. Give it a shot. A popular and important technique in country music especially, a good song will often "turn" a phrase, or use a line to mean more than one thing throughout the course of a song, when used at different times. In Kacey Musgraves' "Blowing Smoke," the phrase "blowing smoke" is used at different times to refer specifically to waitresses on break smoking cigarettes, and also to boasting of quitting someday, referring to both the job and the habit. It's an effective technique that changes the meaning but not the words. Avoid overloading your lines with too many words, making your song a tongue-twister that can be difficult to sing. As you compose, use words judiciously, leaving out more than you put in. A simple and quick rhyme that's simple can be much more effective in a song than a lot of "poetic" words. In "The Butcher," Leonard Cohen makes a brief and devastating rhyme out of drug use: I found a silver needle. I put it into my arm. / It did some good, did some harm. Novelist and Beat writer William Burroughs pioneered a method of writing that involved cutting up rhyming words and phrases and throwing them into a bag. Try doing the same and removing phrases at random to collage together a tapestry of weirdness for your song. Music is amenable to that kind of writing. The Rolling Stones employed this technique for their song "Casino Boogie":  One last cycle, thrill freak Uncle Sam / Pause for business, so you'll understand.

TL;DR in English: . Learn to "turn" a phrase. Use as few words as possible. Try automatic forms.

Chelsea boots are comfortable and versatile so they make an ideal shoe for your on-the-go look. Feel relaxed yet look stylish by wearing any color boot with a t-shirt and your favorite jeans, shorts, or leggings.  Pair Chelsea boots with relaxed-fit, bootcut jeans or your favorite comfy leggings for a more relaxed look. While it’s cool to let jeans hang over the top of the boot a little bit, you want the hem of jeans to stop before your ankle. Choose a shorter jean, cuff them, or tuck them into the boot so everyone can see your boots as you walk. For a picnic in the park or a stroll around the farmer's market, wear your Chelsea boots with a short, flirty dress or a nice pair of pants and button-up shirt.  Black Chelsea boots will make your outfit look dressier, while tan or brown boots will add a casual touch.  Tan or taupe Chelsea boots pair perfectly with a flowy, short Boho dress.

Familiarize yourself with basic horse body language. Always be aware of where the horses are. Create an inviting rather than demanding presence before you approach. Approach the horse diagonally from the front whenever possible. If you have to approach from the rear, approach at an angle. Use your voice to let the horse know you're approaching.

You may be so busy dealing with a serious break-up, a job loss, or another significant event in your life that you don't have time to shower or get more than a few hours of sleep a night. However, if you want to be mentally strong, then you have to be physically able, too. If your body is in a funk or you're just feeling unkempt, then you'll be even less equipped to deal with the challenges. No matter how awful you're feeling, you need to make an effort to shower, brush your teeth, sleep, and get into a normal routine, so that you can start feeling as "normal" as you can. Make sure to make time for mental breaks when you're caring for yourself, too. Studies show that taking mental breaks, whether you're just daydreaming or closing your eyes and listening to a song that you love, can help ward off those stress chemicals and will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed. Your self-esteem depends on, among other things, how you value yourself. It's important to form a positive perspective about yourself and about life in general to ensure resilience. In acquiring competencies and responsibilities, you nourish your self-esteem, so it is important to get involved in life and not withdraw into yourself and feel threatened. If you feel that you are worthless, then you will feel incapable of tackling challenges.  Use self-enhancement by paying close attention to your positive qualities, while minimizing your negative ones. You can begin by making a list of everything you like about yourself. Seek value through using your talents and abilities to their fullest, be it in a professional, volunteer, business, home front, or other capacity. Learn new abilities and skills as often as you can. This will strengthen your self-esteem and can also ward off fears. For example, if you're afraid your children might be hurt some day, take a basic first aid course to reduce your sense of fear and to increase your confidence in being able to cope should something happen. Workshops, seminars, courses, etc., are all good ways to improve...

It's very important to be able to tell the difference between a happy, inviting horse and an alarmed or frustrated one when you approach the animal. Look for the following signs:   Comfortable signs (if you see these, proceed):  Having relaxed, "soft" eyes that aren't staring at you Turning his head or front quarters toward you Licking his lips Ears pricked towards you. Having a peaceful, relaxed overall body position    Uncomfortable signs (if you see these, back off and do not approach):  Moving or running away from you as you approach Having, intense, wide eyes or eyes that are staring at you Pinning his ears (moving them back against his head) Bearing his teeth or trying to nip at you Rearing up on his legs or kicking Flicking tail repeatedly in aggressive fashion, often with back legs stomping. It takes only a moment for a horse to run up behind you and possibly rear up on you. Make sure you can see where the horses are and keep watch.  Horses can get startled by almost anything. If a horse seems to be running towards you,  to make sure you don't get trampled raise your arms to appear larger and say in firm calm, voice "whoa" or "get". This will help with getting the horse to head another direction. With horse behavior, there is an idea of pressure and release. Horses are herd animals, and will most likely not stand in an area waiting for you to approach them. Simple things, such as making eye contact, is actually putting pressure on the horse, cueing him to move away from you. The number one rule for approaching horses is to make sure that they know you're coming. This is easiest (by far) if you come at the horse from the front and slightly to the side (to avoid the blind spot right in front of it). If you can, approaching from the front-left of the horse is even better: many horses are trained specifically to work with humans on their left side and as a result are most comfortable with this.  It actually is a myth that horses prefer one side over the other. It is us humans that over the years have...

The Atlantic Ocean is home to only one kind of salmon, Atlantic salmon. Atlantic Salmon are usually farmed, and the fish are fed a diet that can be full of growth hormones and coloring agents to turn the flesh pink. They are mass produced and fairly inexpensive. This kind of salmon also tends to have higher levels of PolyChlorinated Biphenyls, or PCBs, which are a highly toxic industrial chemical. The Environmental Defense Fund suggests consuming no more than one meal per month consisting of Atlantic salmon. Atlantic salmon is available all year long. Chinook salmon are also known as King or Blackmouth salmon and they are the largest of the Pacific salmon. The flesh is very red and this variety has one of the highest levels of Omega 3 fatty acids, which are valued for their nutritional benefits. This fish is usually only wild caught, and it is typically only available May through August. Also known as Keta salmon, this fish is available June through September. The flesh is firm and mild. Chum salmon range the mid to upper Pacific Ocean from California to Canada and all the way across to Siberia. Due to this wide harvest area and the fish's abundant numbers, keta salmon is often widely available and at more moderate prices. These salmon are harvested or caught between July and October. They are found from British Columbia to Alaska, and they are a mild but flavorful fish. These are a smaller variety of salmon that is seen in supermarkets from May through July. The flesh is mild and sweet, and it is a popular salmon choice in seafood restaurants.

A mold is the negative of a shape that you would like to make. You can make a cast of an object you would like to reproduce by sculpting two pieces of clay around the object. When the clay dries, remove the two pieces. If you fill each half with the liquid plastic and then put the halves together, you can make a copy of that object. You can also use a cookie cutter to cut shapes out of the plastic while it is still warm. An alternative to making your own mold, is to purchase a mold at a craft or hobby shop. Once you have a mold, you can use it to make more objects. While the plastic is still hot, pour it into the mold. Make sure that the plastic gets into the entire mold and try pop bubbles by lightly tapping the mold on the counter. To make the object easier to remove when it dries, coat the mold with a non-stick spray before pouring the plastic in. The plastic will take a few days to dry and fully harden. The amount of time it takes to dry is dependent upon the thickness of the object. If the object is very thick, it can take longer than two days to fully harden. After two days, check the plastic. If it still appears to be wet, let it sit for another day and check it again. Continue to do this until the plastic is fully dry. After waiting a few days, the plastic will be fully hardened and dry. At this point, you can remove the plastic from the mold. You have now made your own plastic version of whatever object you chose to mold. You can reuse this mold to make as many plastic versions of the object as you like.

TL;DR in English: Make a mold for the plastic. Pour the hot plastic into the mold. Let the plastic dry for at least two days. Remove your plastic from the mold.

Either top corner is OK to begin with. Allow a small gap, about the width of a penny between the ceiling/wall, and the board. Use a level to ensure the board is level. In many cases, your ceiling may have a slight angle, so it should not be used as a guide, as it might make your planking look off level. Then, use your nail gun or a hammer and nails to attach the board in place.  If your ceiling is angled, you may want to start at the bottom of the wall. An angled ceiling will require you to cut the same angle into your planks. You can panel your wall from the bottom-up, although there are often outlets and heating or cooling vents that you'll have to cut around toward the bottom of the wall. This can be time consuming. You may want to do the easier areas first. Depending on the length of your wall, you may have to use a few full planks. For shorter walls, one or two planks may be sufficient. If your wall only requires two planks, after attaching the first one:  Position your second plank the same as your first, but on he opposite side of the top row. Your unattached plank should overlap your attached one. Use a pencil to mark the unattached plank ¼" (.64 cm) before where the boards overlap. Use your saw to cut the board at this mark and sandpaper to remove burrs. Position your plank in place so it is level and aligned with the attached one. Use a penny to ensure there is a 1/8" (.32 cm) gap between planks, the ceiling, and the wall. Double check the levelness of your unattached board, then use your nail gun or a hammer and nails to attach the plank to the wall. Save the excess plank to start the next row. This way, you'll prevent yourself from wasting lumber. Add rows of planks to your wall, working from the top down. Be sure to remember to leave a penny-wide gap on all sides of the planks and their surroundings (other planks, the wall, ceiling, floor).  When a fixture or other feature of your house (like light switches, sconces, sills, sharply angled walls/ceilings, etc.) are in the path of your plank row,...

Both hot and cold temperature extremes can affect hives, and may cause them to worsen when hives are already present. For best results, take a comfortable, room-temperature bath to soothe skin rashes.  Sprinkle baking soda, uncooked oatmeal, or finely-ground colloidal oatmeal into your bath to help relieve itching. Avoid using soap until you know whether or not a given soap brand will irritate your hives. Cool, wet compresses can help alleviate the symptoms associated with rashes and hives. Exposure to a cold, wet bandage or dressing can help soothe irritated skin, and may help reduce inflammation by slowing blood flow to the rash. There are many things that can irritate hives and rashes. Even if you are not normally affected by common household irritants, it's best to avoid them until you know how your current rash/hives will react to these items. Common irritants include:  Cosmetics Dye (including dye used in clothing) Fur and leather products Hair coloring Latex Nickel products, including jewelry, zippers, buttons, and kitchen utensils Nail care products, including nail polish and artificial nails Soap and household cleaning products Even though your rash may itch very intensely, it's important to avoid scratching or rubbing the rash/hives. Scratching can cause the skin to break, leaving you prone to infection and delaying the healing process. In some people, exposure to heat and humidity can further irritate hives and rashes. If you are experiencing rashes or hives, avoid exposure to heat, humidity, and exercise. If you are experiencing rashes and hives, it's important that you choose the right clothing to prevent further irritating your skin. Choose loose, smooth-textured material like cotton. Avoid constricting clothing and any materials that are rough and scratchy like wool.

TL;DR in English: Take a tepid bath. Apply a cold compress. Avoid irritants. Refrain from scratching or rubbing. Avoid exposure to heat. Wear comfortable clothing.

You'll need 1 packet of plain gelatin, 8  fl oz (240 mL) boiling water, 4  fl oz (120 mL) of cold coffee, 4  fl oz (120 mL) of coffee liqueur, 1 packet vanilla pudding, 4  fl oz (120 mL) of cold milk and 4  fl oz (120 mL) of Irish cream. You'll also need some small plastic cups for your shots.  In a bowl, add one 3 oz (85 g) packet of plain gelatin and 4  fl oz (120 mL) of boiling water. Then, stir in 4  fl oz (120 mL) of cold coffee and 4  fl oz (120 mL) of cold coffee liqueur. This will form the dark coffee base of the jello shot. Then, in a separate bowl, whisk together 1 packet of vanilla pudding, 4  fl oz (120 mL) of cold milk and 4  fl oz (120 mL) of Irish cream. This will form the cream top of the Baby Guinness. Place cups on a tray or platter. Spoon the dark coffee mixture in first to fill 2/3 of the cup. Top carefully with the cream mixture to fill the rest of the cup. Refrigerate for two hours, or until solid. The dark colored liqueur makes the shooter look like a Guinness, but a lighter colored liqueur can make your shot look more like a pint of ale or lager. Try a sweet liqueur like Amaretto or or Licor 43. A B-52 is another layered shot that also uses coffee liqueur and Irish cream. The only difference is that coffee liqueur makes up the bottom 1/3 layer, Irish cream makes up the second 1/3 layer, and a final 1/3 layer of Triple-sec is added on top. To make a flaming B-52 shot, use a high proof Triple-sec liquor, such as Cointreau. Light the shots right before serving them, but make sure that everyone blows out the flame before they drink and be very careful when serving flaming beverages!

Walking away from a confrontation with someone who hates you does not mean that you are admitting defeat or accepting the reality that a perfect solution cannot be reached. Instead, it demonstrates that you have complete control over the situation by not engaging in their negativity.  Haters never offer constructive criticism or positive feedback, only criticism. If you already know this then there is absolutely no reason to have a dialogue with them. Listening to a hater will only ruin your day. All of the negativity will do is hurt your feelings, make you angry, or incite you to participate in the pessimism. A hater will get under your skin whenever they can. It is important to stay calm when this happens so that a physical confrontation does not occur. Stay level headed and understand that a hater does not deserve a response from you, especially in retaliation.  By staying calm and not responding to their attacks you demonstrate that their opinions and destructive comments are not valued by you. Over time, this should reveal to them that attacking your character is a waste of time. Remaining calm will conserve your energy for more positive pursuits. Do not waste your time or energy on a situation that does not deserve your attention. Since a hater will seek out negativity and place undue criticism on you don’t submit to their turpitude. They will want you to explain your mistakes in front of others to reveal your imperfect self. In response, never justify, explain, or apologize to them until they approach you in a respectful and sensible manner.  Value your self-worth and don’t degrade yourself to their level unless they treat you with the respect you deserve as a person. In this case, it is probably unwise to reply with a smart comment or to try and play it off as nothing important because it gives them an opportunity to turn the tables again on you for not addressing their accusation to begin with. Let them embarrass themselves without help. This might be difficult to do if you work with this person or...

TL;DR in English: Walk away. Stay calm. Do not offer an apology. Limit your interaction with them.

No matter the kind of date you plan, wearing something new, or something he especially loves, will help the day feel special. If you wear dresses, try a slinky dress, or a curve-hugging skirt. If you wear suits, wear a well-tailored suit and an open collared shirt. Opt for fabric that feels good to the touch, like silk or velvet. If you aren't worried about matching the décor, wear red.  Consider underwear. Wearing lingerie under your beautiful outfit will make every step of dressing and undressing a Valentine's day activity. Think sheer panties or boxer briefs, thigh highs, a garter belt, a thong, or a bustier. Dress him up too. If your husband is the kind of guy who likes to be dressed up, embrace that. Buy him something you know he wants, or something you think he'd look especially hot in. The same ideas that work for you work for him. You can get him clothes to show off, or something more intimate to wear just for you. If you're going hiking for Valentine's day, you can even get him some attractive exercise wear, like shiny bike shorts or a mesh tank top. If your husband prefers feeling in control of his own outfit, plan ahead. Tell him you want to buy him something special, and look around online together till you find the right thing. The place you'll be spending time together should be beautiful. You might go to an elegant restaurant, take a hike at sunrise, or walk the beach at sunset. Depending on your aesthetic, you and your husband might enjoy a stroll through a community garden, a visit to an art-deco movie theater, or a visit to a graffitied canal.  If you are decorating at home, put out clean tablecloths in dark or warm colors. Stick some candles in candle holders or old wine bottles, or make floating candles. Clean up. A mess is depressing, and draping it with streamers is like giving up. If you're celebrating at home, tidy your home. Put away all evidence of work. Put flowers in a vase, and drop petals on the tablecloth or into the bowl of floating candles. Food might provide all the scent you...

If you're trying to explain your qualifications, competence, and your ability to take on jobs or projects, it's important to make those connections clear in a few sentences and explain the ways in which your experience doing other things connects to your ability to do this thing, whether it be a new position, or a transfer, or an entirely new job.  Outline some of the experience that you have in the field or industry you reference in the letter. If you have targeted the introductory letter as mentioned, it will be focused on some kind of professional field or industry. It's helpful to include specific skills and experience in order to make the letter effective.  Wanting a job is not the same thing as qualifying for it. If you outline in the introduction that you're interested in interviewing for the job because you'd made an excellent fit, you don't need to repeat yourself fifty times throughout. Writing that you "really really need this job" doesn't make you seem like a more attractive candidate. Set up a time that you can meet in person, or express what exactly you would like to happen next in response to your letter. If you want to discuss your qualifications further with an interview, say so. If you want the job outright, say so. Learn everything you can about the hiring process, or the application process to which you're writing, then ask for the next step in the process. Focus the introductory letter toward a specific job level. This job type or position doesn't have to be explicitly mentioned, but keep in mind what kind of result you are going after in order to keep the letter relevant. Listing out your degrees, your awards, and name-dropping in an intro letter is a bad idea. Repeating information that can be quickly glanced at on your resume is a waste of space in the letter. You're not trying to write about information that can be gleaned more quickly and easily elsewhere. You're writing to sell yourself and to get your foot in the door. It's unlikely that you're ever going to get a job or be awarded...

TL;DR in English: Connect your qualifications with the position. Be as specific as possible. Don't include information included on your resume. Write to get the interview.

If you’re really worried about deer getting into plants you’ve spent many long weeks cultivating, consider fencing the plot in with fishing line or plastic wire. Stick 3-4 posts in the ground around the crop and wrap the wire around the outside of the posts from top to bottom, leaving only a couple inches between each strand. It isn’t very attractive, but it will do what it’s supposed to do and is inexpensive. The idea is similar to keeping single plants off-limits with tomato cages, but will allow you to close off a larger area.  Fishing line is thin enough not to be an eyesore or block your plants from view, but will be enough to dissuade deer from trying to push their way through.  Despite being talented at runners and jumpers, deer are not very good at getting themselves in and out of tight spaces. Deer are constantly wary of predators, and while the average house canine isn’t likely to make a meal of a passing doe, the sight and sound of one may be enough to keep troublesome deer at bay. Dog urine also doubles as a natural repellent, as deer can distinguish its odor from that of other harmless herbivores, and it signals that competition or predators may be nearby. Take your dog out to do its business in the general vicinity of your garden and let it run around, and watch incidents of mysterious vegetation disappearances decrease. Walk your dog around the perimeter of your yard or garden to mark the area with its scent. Put up a scarecrow, statue or other large form as a new fixture in your garden. They may not move or make any noise, but the fear of the unknown will keep deer from making a move. The more lifelike the statue looks, the better chance it has of being convincing. Position the statue on the outer edge of your property to discourage deer from pushing in any further.  Draping the statue in old clothes that billow in the breeze can mimic movement. While deer are not especially clever, they learn from observing behavior. There’s no guarantee that a motionless garden fixture will frighten deer off...

You should also change the dressing if the bandage becomes wet or dirty. After the cut has healed enough and there is a scab forming on the cut, you can leave it uncovered. Exposing it to the air will speed up healing. These are all symptoms of a possible infection. You should get the cut looked at by a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.  If you lose mobility in your hand or experience numbness of your finger, you may have a more serious infection and should see a doctor right away.  Red streaks radiating from the cut are a sign of severe infection and medical attention should be sought immediately. If your cut was from an animal bite or a human bite, you should get it checked by a doctor. An animal bite, especially from a wild animal like a raccoon or a squirrel, may pose a rabies risk. Domestic animals and humans have bacteria in their mouths that, once embedded in the skin, can greatly increase chance of infection. Once the doctor has cleaned the cut and given you stitches for the deep cut, you should ask about getting a tetanus shot to prevent infection. As well, if you haven't had a tetanus shot in the past five years and the cut is serious, you should get a tetanus shot as soon as possible.

TL;DR in English: Change the dressing once a day. Seek medical care if the cut becomes swollen, very red, full of pus, or you experience a fever. Get a tetanus shot if the cut is dirty or deep.

There are literally hundreds of olive tree varieties around the world. Some are similar with only slight differences in olive color and flavor. Others are extremely different and have growing preferences which impact the ripening time.  For example, the four main types in California are: Mission, Manzanillo, Sevillano and Ascolano. Even though these are grown in the same state, the diverse climate, coupled with a particular olive strand, yields a range of results. Significantly research your location to determine which type of olive will prosper. Growing from seed, you will get more of a wild variety than any of the parent trees it came from. This may sound easy, but the fruit must be picked directly from the tree so the seed remains alive. Olive trees prosper in climate zones 8-11. These areas have a subtropical climate and mild winters. Pick them in early autumn, after the fruits ripen and are green. Leave the black ones. Don't pick any off the ground and make sure the ones you choose don't have any holes from insects.  Using olives purchased from a grocery store will not work. These have been processed for consumption which means they've been cooked. This process kills the seed inside the pit, so they are no longer viable. Raw olives from the produce section may be viable, though. If you don't have access to an olive tree, many large orchards will ship pits/seeds directly to you. Once you have the olives, gently smash the flesh with a hammer to loosen the fruit around the pit. Cover the crushed olives with warm water and soak them overnight. Stir the water every few hours or so. Jostling them will encourage the fruit to loosen further.  If a hammer isn't available, use a wide knife and smash with the flat side. If you notice a few floating to the surface, gather these and discard. They are likely rotten. Gather the pits and use a scour pad to rub the excess skin off. This is the same pad you probably use on pots and pans. After you've rubbed the skin, thoroughly rinse the pits in warm water for several...

TL;DR in English: Determine the type of tree you want to grow. Gather olives. Place the olives in a bucket. Drain the water. Cut the ends of the pits.

Pluck your eyebrows a little bit. If you shape your eyebrows already, just pluck any stray hairs. If you don't shape your eyebrows, just pluck the hairs in the middle of both your eyebrows, to avoid having a unibrow. If you don't pluck your eyebrows at all, just leave them; your boyfriend probably likes them the way that they are. Don't go crazy and overpluck! Once you do that, there’s no going back — until they grow out again, that is. Besides, some girls look better with thicker brows. You can also line your brows with a brow pencil for an added dramatic effect. It doesn’t matter what you wear — what does matter is that you feel beautiful in your clothes, whether you’re wearing a little black dress or flannel and leggings. The more confident you are, the more beautiful you'll seem, as beauty and confidence go hand-in-hand. If you feel super-confident in all of your outfits, pick one that you know he likes the most. If you don’t dress up a lot and you and your boyfriend have a special occasion coming up, then wow him with a more dressy dress or a skirt and a cute top.  If you're on the bigger side, don't freak out! Pick out an outfit that shows off your gorgeous curves! Your boyfriend should like you for who you are, so embrace those curves!  If you’re looking to add some spice to your look, try wearing heels if you normally wear flats. They can make you feel taller and more confident. However, if you normally wear heels, try some flats for a change — you may feel happier and more comfortable! Brush or comb your hair, and then style it the way you like it best. Try out some different styles to see which one you think makes you look the most beautiful. If he's complimented your hair in a certain style, try wearing it in that style again some time, since he obviously likes it. Braid, straighten, or curl your hair for a new look. You can put it up or leave it down, depending on how you feel.  There’s no magical hairstyle that will appeal to your boyfriend the most; it’s all up to what makes you feel the most...

For any set of data values, the mean is a measure of central value. Depending on the type of data, the mean tells you the central value of that data. To find the mean, you must first collect your data, either through an experiment of some sort or just from an assigned problem.  For this example, use the assigned data set of 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 4, 8 and 12. This set is small enough to count by hand to find that there are eight numbers in the set. In statistical work, the variable N{\displaystyle N} or n{\displaystyle n} is commonly used to represent the number of data values. The first step of finding the mean is calculating the sum of all the data points. In statistical notation, each value is generally represented by the variable x{\displaystyle x}. The sum of all values is symbolized as Σx{\displaystyle \Sigma x}. The capital Greek letter sigma signifies finding the sum of the values. For this sample data set, the calculation is: Σx=6+7+10+12+13+4+8+12=72{\displaystyle \Sigma x=6+7+10+12+13+4+8+12=72} Finally, divide the sum by the number of values. The Greek letter mu, μ{\displaystyle \mu }, is commonly used to represent the mean. Therefore, the calculation of the mean is: μ=ΣxN=728=9{\displaystyle \mu ={\frac {\Sigma x}{N}}={\frac {72}{8}}=9}

TL;DR in English: Collect and count your data. Find the sum of the data values. Divide to find the mean.

Downspouts are the parts of the gutter that run vertically from the roof gutter to the ground. They should direct water at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from the foundation of your house. If yours currently don’t do this, you can add extensions to make them more effective. These extensions are inexpensive and relatively easy to install.  Elbows and extensions can be obtained at any hardware store. Typical cost is just under $20 per extension. This is done by attaching an elbow to the end of the downspout and then connecting the extension piece. The extension piece will be several feet of straight pipe. In most cases, these extensions are installed by simply screwing them on.  Make sure to direct the water at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from your home’s foundation. If necessary, you can connect the downspouts to PVC pipe and bury the pipe underground to direct the water further from your home. In winter, water deposited onto your driveway can freeze, causing a number of dangerous situations. The ideal spot for water to come out of the extension is on a sloped part of the ground, so that the water continues to drain further away from the house. Make sure the water doesn’t end up on an incline that slopes back down to your home. This will result in the water draining straight back to the foundation of your home. Overflowing gutters and inefficient downspouts can erode the ground around the foundation of your home. This erosion will create a trench in the soil that traps the water there. If you see any gaps like this around your home, fill them in with soil. Firmly pack the soil in place for best results.  Avoid soils with high clay content, since these drain poorly. Purchase granular soil with a high sand content.  You can buy bagged soil at any home improvement store. Buy 1 bag to start the job. Once you know how much area 1 bag covers, you'll have a good idea of how many more you'll need to finish the job based on the size of your home and how steep you want to make the downslope. Instead of just filling the gaps in...
