Whether you're participating in an Olympic sport or trying to improve your diet and exercise regimen, you'll want to consult with your doctor first. A doctor will be able to advise you on whether your diet or exercise plan will meet your nutritional needs, as well as whether your body can handle the physical stress of such a regimen. Staying hydrated is crucial for your day-to-day survival, and it's particularly important when you exercise. To properly monitor your hydration levels, you should weigh yourself before and after every workout so you know how much water you lost through sweat. It's imperative that you stay hydrated before, during, and after training to prevent dehydration.  Prior to your training session, drink at least 16 ounces of fluids two to three hours before exercising, then another 8 ounces of fluids about 15 minutes before your workout. You should also weigh yourself before exercising. During your training session, drink just enough water to prevent dehydration. Sip on water periodically whenever you feel thirsty. If you are able to closely monitor your body weight before and after training, you'll know approximately how much of your body weight is lost through sweat. Aim to keep that figure below two percent of your total body weight loss. Weigh yourself after training and drink 16 to 24 ounces of fluids for every pound of body weight you lost through sweat. If you're out of shape or working in intense environmental conditions like heat and high altitude, you'll need to drink more water than someone who has a more developed level of fitness. If you do not drink enough fluids before, during, and after exercising, your body will become susceptible to dehydration. Some common symptoms of dehydration include:  darker urine color muscle cramps headache nausea and/or vomiting elevated heart rate difficulty concentrating fatigue early in your training sessions and/or difficulty recovering after training Alcohol generally impairs your body's ability to perform by over 11 percent the day after...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor. Drink enough fluids. Recognize the signs of dehydration. Avoid alcohol. Use caffeine wisely. Monitor your vitamin and mineral intake.

One of the best ways to communicate that you care is to spend some uninterrupted quality time with your mother. If you’re celebrating your mom’s birthday, don’t spend half your time together checking your phone or chatting with a friend.  Turn your phone and other distracting devices off in honor of her big day. When you’re together, focus on having conversations and engaging with her. Even if you’re in a group, your mom should be your top priority. You’d be surprised how much your mother would appreciate a break from a routine task, like cleaning the house or washing the car. Show you care by taking on the work for her. She’ll appreciate it even more if you choose a chore that she finds especially onerous, like doing the laundry, cleaning the bathroom, or raking the yard. Giving your mom your time and effort is a wonderful way to show you care while helping her accomplish something that she has been meaning to do. Pick a project that has been on her plate for a while, and lend her a hand to get it done once and for all.  For instance, if she has been meaning to plant a garden, help her pick out some seeds, put on some gloves, and pick up a spade! If she would like to redecorate a room, help her shop for supplies, move furniture, paint walls, and hang up new art. Be sure to let your mom supervise the project, so it's completed according to her vision. You want to support her efforts, not take them over. Consult with her about how you can be the most helpful. Sometimes, the best gift you can give your mother is some free-time to enjoy herself however she wants. To do that, make arrangements in advance to cover any obligations that she might have on her birthday.  For instance, if she has other children, arrange a babysitter or babysit yourself. If she has a dog, volunteer to take care of it for the day or while she spends the night elsewhere. Oftentimes, just letting your mother sleep in is a much appreciated gesture. If that’s the case, give her the gift of not bothering her in the morning, and bring her...

All your efforts to appear more authoritative will likely fall short if you lack essential self-confidence.  You have to believe you can wield authority, and deserve to have it, in order to express and use it effectively.  While it is true that some people are naturally more confident than others, self-confidence is also a perspective that can be nurtured and developed.  How to Build Self Confidence offers an extensive list of ideas for becoming a more confident person.  Its major subjects include:  Establishing a positive attitude. Dealing with your emotions effectively. Taking care of yourself — mind, body, and spirit. Setting your goals. Getting help when you need it. People with low self-confidence tend to compare themselves to unrealistic idealizations of others, and thereby find themselves always coming up short.  Instead of holding yourself to impossible standards and focusing on your failures, work on training yourself to emphasize your successes.  Focus on why you deserve to have authority. Keep an updated list of personal accomplishments and positive attributes if that helps.  Take note of compliments and positive feedback from others (and take them seriously).  Surround yourself with positive reinforcement. Looking authoritative and looking confident have many similarities, but you can’t really master the former without first nailing the latter.  It may seem naive to think that looking confident can make you feel more confident, and yet it is true for many people. Practice good posture.  Take your personal grooming and dressing routines seriously.  Look in the mirror and see a confident person staring back at you. People who lack confidence avoid or run away from their fears; they try not to depart their comfort zones.  Self-confident people learn to swim by jumping in the water, or deal with a fear of heights by skydiving.  Get out of your comfort zone, and when you achieve success doing so, use it as evidence in your confidence-building process. Identify your goals, and establish a way to address...

TL;DR in English: Embrace the power of self-confidence. Focus on your positives. Look the part. Face your fears.

A major part of good grades is the ability to manage your time wisely. Work on maintaining a regular schedule and sticking to it throughout the semester. You should also plan ahead and stay aware of when big papers and tests are coming up. Write down important dates in your calendar and keep a daily planner.  Decide when to study, do homework, socialize, and so on. Have a daily routine you follow that works with your class schedule. Stick to general rules that work for you. For example, maybe you need a couple of weeks to write a solid paper. Make sure to always start papers a week before they're due. Professors have office hours in which you can come in and ask questions. Always take advantage of the time your professors are offering. Office hours are an invaluable way to gain a higher understanding of course material, and build solid rapport with your professors.  Do not just come into office hours when you're struggling. Stop in just for a refresher when necessary. You can also have a professor look over a draft of your paper or go over the reading with you. Your reputation can help sway your grades. If your professor is, say, deciding between a B+ and an A, they're more likely to grant an A to a student who seemed like they were consistently trying. You want to surround yourself with inspiring people. In class, try to identify the most successful students. Try to plan study parties and review sessions with these students. Your grades will improve as good habits rub off on you.  Try to form a regular study session. Meet once a week with the top students in your class. Make sure to keep study sessions directed, however. Study sessions can sometimes dissolve into socializing, which will not help you bring up your grades. Everyone misses class once in awhile. An illness or emergency can occasionally prevent you from making it to a lecture. However, never allow missing class to become a regular thing. Unless it's absolutely impossible, attend all your classes all the time. In college, classes may only meet...

Your alien sci-fi story could focus primarily on aliens and their perspective on the world. You may not have any humans in the story and instead, focus primarily on the alien point of view. Or, you may want to write an alien invasion story, where aliens invade the human world.  Some alien sci-fi stories focus on the interaction between humans and aliens. Often, the aliens and the humans in the story are  in conflict. Some sci-fi writers use the conflict between aliens and humans to then push the story forward and propel the plot of the story. Some of the best alien sci-fi will put the aliens front and center, creating aliens who have their own world, rules, and backstory. Often, the aliens will be just as prominent as the humans in the story, giving the reader two different perspectives on a conflict or issue. To get a better sense of this genre, you should read examples of alien sci-fi stories. Several examples include:   The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells.  Dawn by Octavia Butler.  The Word for the World Is Forest by Ursula Le Guin.  Dreamcatcher by Stephen King.  Pandora’s Planet by Christopher Anvil. Once you have read a few examples of alien sci-fi, you should analyze them. Consider how the author creates the alien world and the human world, if there is a human world in the story. Note how the author builds conflict and tension in the story. You may also compare and contrast a few examples to determine which approaches to the alien world you like better or find more engaging and entertaining. Ask yourself several questions, including: How does the author characterize the aliens in the story? How do the humans interact with the aliens? How does the story build tension and conflict? Does the ending of the story satisfy your curiosity as reader? Is the ending optimistic about aliens and humans interacting or is it more pessimistic and dark?

TL;DR in English: Learn about the role of aliens in a sci-fi story. Read examples of alien sci-fi stories. Analyze the examples.

Part of being a tomboy is being able to run around with ease. That means high heels are out. Instead, pick up some comfortable, cool sneakers. A good rule of thumb when buying shoes is to keep in mind that if you can’t run in them, they’re probably not the best tomboy shoes. Brands that make cool sneakers include DC, Vans, Nike, Adidas, Converse, Etnies, Airwalk and Supras, among other brands. In particular, printed slip-ons are great. Brands like Vans and Toms, among many others, have great slip-ons that have cool designs, are comfortable, and can still be worn to run around in. Look for slip-ons with checkers, skulls, funky animal designs, band logos, tribal art, etc. One of the most classic tomboy looks is a pair of converse sneakers. They come in a variety of colors and heights from low-cut to high-top. To add some extra spunk to your shoes, replace the normal white laces with some funky shoelaces. You can buy these at your local novelty stores.

TL;DR in English: Buy some athletic shoes. Trade in your flats for some cool slip-ons. Try out some high-top sneakers.

You may want to go back to the beginning of your relationship and discuss how you met your boyfriend. Was it love at first sight or was your first meeting disappointing? Did you meet each other through friends or through funny circumstances? What kind of emotions did you feel when you met your boyfriend? Write down as much as you can remember about your first meeting. Maybe you can more easily recall your first date with him or your first kiss. You may decide to focus on the details of these other firsts. Using a first meeting or first kiss memory in the poem will make it feel more personal and specific to the two of you. You can also come up with themes and ideas for the poem by writing down the ways in which your boyfriend is important to you. Doing this will help you create a poem that feels like a tribute to your boyfriend and your love for each other. You may focus on his excellent personal qualities and traits, such as “good listener”, “kind heart”, “supportive”, or “generous”. You may also consider why you value these traits about him. Maybe you appreciate his ability to listen because you find it difficult to listen to others and you admire his genuine interest in people. Or, maybe you valued his support at a particular time because you needed him and he was there for you. This could be the first time you traveled together to a foreign country or a blissful day on vacation together. You may also focus on a memory that is positive because of something your boyfriend did, such as helping you deal with the death of a parent or supporting you as you prepared for a difficult exam or test. Be specific when you describe this memory. Focus on sensory detail, such as what you both were wearing in this memory, where the memory occurred, and any smells or sounds in the setting of the memory. You should also try to describe facial expressions and body language, such as your boyfriend’s smile or your laugh. Another way to generate ideas for your poem is to think about any hard or challenging times you experienced...

Place the letter or contents inside the envelope and seal it if you have not already done so. Make sure the contents fit well inside the regular or padded envelope, as mail can sometimes be damaged in transit, especially if it is an odd shape. If you are using a padded envelope, or if your package is bumpy, address your envelope before placing the contents inside to ensure that the addresses are clear and legible. Once you have inserted the letter into the envelope and sealed it shut, you should write your name and address on the back. The French post likes to have the return address over the sealed portion of the envelope to show that it has not been opened or tampered with. You should include the following information:  Your first and last name – with the last name in all caps (line one) Your street address (line two) Your city, state and postal code (line three) The country (line four) Take your letter to the post office and ask for help from one of the associates at the counter.

Gently warm up one cup of honey over low heat. Add 3-4 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the warm honey. Add ¼ to ⅓ cup water to the honey-lemon mixture and stir while continuing to heat on low. Refrigerate the mixture. When you need the cough medicine, take 1-2 tablespoons as needed.  Medicinal honey, such as Manuka honey from New Zealand, is recommended but any organic honey will have antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Lemon juice contains high levels of Vitamin C-- the juice of 1 lemon contains 51% of the daily Vitamin C requirement. Lemon juice also has antibacterial and antiviral properties. It is believed that the combination of Vitamin C and the antimicrobial properties make lemon useful for coughs.  Do not give honey to any child under 12 months of age. There is a small risk of getting infant botulism from bacterial toxins sometimes found in honey. There are less than 100 cases of infant botulism in the US every year and most babies recover fully, but better to be safe! Cut a washed, whole lemon into thin slices (along with the skin and the seeds). Add the slices to one cup of honey. Heat over low heat for 10 minutes with constant stirring.  Break up the lemon slices as you stir. Once finished cooking, strain the mixture to get the leftover lemon slices out and then refrigerate. Garlic has antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic and antifungal properties. Peel 2-3 cloves of garlic and chop them as finely as possible. Add it to the honey-lemon mixture before you add water. Heat on low flame for about 10 minutes. Then add ¼ to ⅓ cup water to the honey-lemon mixture and stir in while heating over the low flame. Refrigerate the mixture. When you need the cough medicine, take 1-2 tablespoons as needed. Ginger is often used to improve digestion and to treat nausea and vomiting, but it has also been traditionally used as an expectorant. It can help a cough by thinning out mucus and phlegm and as a bronchial relaxant.  Cut and peel about 1.5 inches of fresh ginger root.  Finely grate it and...

Daily brushing helps to remove built-up food particles and plaque from your cat's teeth. Subsequently, regular brushing is the first step in preventing feline gum disease. The vet will examine your cat and recommend treatment, if necessary. Even if you brush your cat's teeth, your pet will need to have its teeth cleaned by a veterinarian occasionally. Have your vet check your cat's teeth during every yearly checkup. Dental checkups allow your vet to perform a thorough examination of your cat's mouth. They can make sure all your cat's teeth look healthy and check for symptoms of gum disease. They can also look for any teeth that may need to be removed. This type of food has large, crunchy kibbles that help clean your cat's teeth while they eat. The texture, then, helps prevent plaque from building up on teeth. Consider buying a food specifically formulated for a cat's oral health.Ask your vet for recommendations for food and treats formulated for feline oral health. These toys help prevent unhealthy accumulations of plaque and tartar. They also massage your cat's gums, which stimulates healthy circulation. Ask your vet for recommendations for the right dental chews for your cat. Human food causes plaque and tartar to gather on teeth, leading to periodontal disease. Instead of giving human food to cats, provide them with cat toys and treats formulated specifically for cats. The Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) is a group of veterinary dentists that are meant to recognize products that are proven effective for pet oral health. These products are reviewed and tested, and can be recognized by the VOHC Seal of Acceptance. The VOHC also has a link of approved products on their website.

TL;DR in English: Brush your cat's teeth every day. Take your cat to a veterinarian for regular dental checkups. Serve hard, crunchy food to your cat. Give your cat dental health chews. Refrain from feeding leftovers or sweets to your cat. Buy VOHC-approved products.

Start in a relaxed position on a mat or soft floor. Keep your head and neck relaxed on the floor as you lie down. You may prop your head up with a thin pillow if you find this more comfortable for your jaw and face. Breathe in and out a few times as you bring awareness to your face, jaw, and neck. Notice if your face or neck feel tight. Acknowledge that your jaw feels tense and uncomfortable. Inhale as you gently open your mouth a few inches. Only open it to a point where you feel no stress or strain. Then, exhale and close your mouth without letting your teeth touch. Keep your neck and face relaxed as you do this.  Repeat these movements 5-10 times, inhaling each time you open your mouth and exhaling each time you close your mouth. Do not force your mouth to open and close if it starts to tense up or feel tight. Let your jaw rest when needed so you do not damage it further. If your jaw does not feel too painful or sore, try shifting it to the left and then to the right. Inhale as you shift it to the left a few inches. Exhale as you bring it back to the center and then inhale as you shift it to the right a few inches.  Do this 5-10 times on each side. If your jaw starts to hurt or tense up, take a break. Do not overexert your jaw, as this can make it worse. Keep your jaw loose and relaxed by doing these exercises once a day. Try doing them at the same time every day so your jaw gets used to the movements. If your jaw does not loosen up or becomes more painful, go see your doctor for treatment.

Choose a location for your bed that gets full sun 6-8 hours a day. Select a level spot. Find an area with room to move around on all sides of the planter. Make your planter no more than 4 feet (1.2 m) wide. Build your planter at least 6 inches (15 cm) high. Select a durable type of wood for the frame to prevent rot.

Food safety is important when cooking raw meat, so find a fresh pink rack of ribs at your local grocery store. Many people choose to smoke with St. Louis style (spare) ribs, which come from near the belly on the pig. They are substantial and tasty — very easy to cook. If you like, you can also select baby-back ribs, which come from the back side, near the loin.  Since baby back ribs are a little less substantial, they're harder to smoke while still keeping them juicy and tender. Adjust this recipe if you do decide to use baby back ribs; the cooking time will lower significantly. While you can smoke prime rib or standing rib roast, that cut contains more meat than spare and baby back ribs do, so you'll need to follow slightly different instructions to cook it properly. on the back of the ribs. With a fingernail or a knife, work your way under the light membrane on the back of the ribs. Grab a hold of the loosened membrane with a paper towel and pry it from the ribs. Much of it should come off in one fell swoop. Discard. With a sharp knife, remove any excess fat that's still clinging to your ribs. Although a little fat is fine and will probably render off during the cooking process, eating a chewy hunk of fat when you're expecting a tender morsel of meat is not the most pleasant experience. A little bit of extra preparation during this step will make the eating experience a lot nicer in the end. ake your rub.

Most vegetables do best if they get full sun for most of the day. Find a spot where any plants you intend to grow will get all the sunlight they need.  If you plan to have several planting beds side-by-side, orient them so the long sides face north-south. This will prevent the beds from shading each other. Avoid building your planting bed under a tree to prevent excessive shade and leaf litter. Find an area in your garden that is as flat as possible. Not only will this make it easier for you to build, but it will also help prevent water from draining unevenly from the planting bed.  To check if the ground where you want to build is level, hammer 2 stakes into the ground around the same distance apart as the length of the planter you want to build. Tie a length of string between the stakes and hang a carpenter’s level on it. If the area is level, the bubble should appear between the 2 center lines. If you can’t find a level part of your lawn, you may have to topdress it to even out bumps, or even build a terrace if your whole yard slopes.  You can level out uneven areas in your yard by filling in depressions with soil and tamping it down. Ideally, you should be able to reach everything in the planting bed without having to step into the bed. Look for a spot in your garden where you’ll have the freedom to move all around the planting bed so you’ll have easy access for watering, weeding, and harvesting.  If possible, leave at least 18 inches (46 cm) between the planting bed and any surrounding beds or planters so you can move between them easily. You can build your planting bed up against a wall or fence if you wish, but you’ll need to make it narrow enough so you can easily reach plants at the back of the bed (i.e., at most 2 feet (0.61 m) wide). You can make your planters as long as you want, but they’ll need to be narrow enough so that you can easily reach all the plants inside. For most people, 4 feet (1.2 m) is the maximum comfortable width. For example, you might build a planting bed that’s 4 feet (1.2 m)...

The best way to clean a leafy green like rabe is to give it a cold water bath. Fill a large bowl with cool water. You can also use a clean sink if you prefer. Dump the rabe in, separating the leaves as you go so dirt can shake loose. Alternatively, you can wash the greens under cold, running water. However, submerging them is a safer bet for getting out all the dirt and grit. Once you have the greens submerged, you need to agitate them, much like a washing machine does. Move them around in the water so that the dirt comes away form the leaves and into the water. Wash all the crevices in the rabe, including in and around the small buds. Once the you've agitated the rabe for a few minutes, walk away and let them soak. The greens should float to the top, while the dirt should sift to the bottom. Five to ten minutes is sufficient time for them to soak. If the greens are extra dirty, they may need another rinse. Scoop them out, and refill the water. In fact, the rule of thumb used to be three rinses. Modern day produce is generally not as dirty as in the past, but you may still need to rinse it more than once if you got it from the farmer's market.

TL;DR in English: Soak the broccoli rabe in cool water. Swish the greens around. Let them sit. Give them another rinse.

Your request for a gun license begins by completing the “Massachusetts Resident LTC/FID/Machine Gun Application” form. You can get a copy of the form from one of three possible sources:  If you have Internet access, you can print an application directly at home from the website of the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security.  If you do not have Internet access, you can call the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security at 617-727-7775 to request an application by mail. Alternatively, visit your local police station and request a copy of the application form. Additional forms that you might need, such as an application as a non-resident, an application as a resident alien, or a Firearms Licensing Review Board Petition, may be found at the website of the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security’s Firearms Forms and Applications page. You will need to complete the form carefully, either by typing or printing clearly and legibly all the answers. It is important that you read the instructions before completing the form. If you have any questions while completing the application, you should contact your local police department. If this is your first application, indicate that you are a new applicant by placing a check mark next to "New Applicant" at the top of the form. If this is for a renewal license, you will check “Renewal” and provide your most recent license number. For example, if you just want the license to purchase a firearm and keep it at home, then you need what is called an FID. Place a check mark next to "Firearms Identification Card.” If you are requesting permission to carry a firearm, you need the LTC license. You should select “License to Carry.” You will be required to enter your name, address, the date and place of your birth, the names of your parents, your physical traits, occupation and employer information, and either your Social Security Number or drivers license number. You will be asked for information regarding your citizenship, past convictions or...

Ignore gossip. Forgive and forget. Invite them to a group event. Understand that new relationships are inevitable. Find new ways to spend time together. Engage in a favorite activity.

Plan fun nights out with your friends and call or text them regularly.  When you talk, don’t take all your time telling them about your relationship! You have a whole lot more going on than that, honey!  Spend a few minutes updating them about your boo, but keep it at that. If something major is going on in your relationship, like an engagement or potential breakup, you can spend more time chatting about it. Ask your friends what’s going on with them, too!  Remember that to have a friend, you must be a friend. Maybe the reason you spend so much time with your boyfriend is because you don’t have any other close relationships.  Though that’s understandable, it’s time for a change. Make friends at the places you already go to like the gym, a book club, or place of worship.  At the gym, you might approach someone and say, “Hey, I saw you were wearing a Duke shirt the other day.  I’m a big fan!  Did you go to school there?”  Make more small talk and eventually ask them to hang out. If there’s a place of worship you attend, join a small group so you can make friends there.  Many churches have small groups for young professionals, teens, or adults. The biggest support system you may have is family!  If you haven’t spoken to your mom in a few days, call her!  Or maybe you have a cousin whose birthday is coming up, go see them! Connecting with your family is a great way to stay true to yourself while in a relationship. Use your time wisely when at work or school.  Remember that beyond being your boyfriend’s partner, you’re an employee or a student, too.  Even if he should decide to leave you tomorrow, your job and education will be there to stay.  Be hard-working and diligent!  Get to work early and leave a few minutes late.  Take notes in meetings and keep a to-do list so you stay up on your responsibilities. Complete your homework to the best of your ability, do all your readings, and study every day.

TL;DR in English: Spend time with your friends. Make new friends. Check-in with your family. Focus on school and your career.

Gossip will only hurt your friendship. If someone tries to talk badly about your friend, ask them to stop. Refuse to listen if people say that your friend is trashing you. Even if it’s true, it’s not going to help you patch things up. Say, “I’m not interested in hearing that.” Start with a clean slate. Once your issues have been resolved, don’t keep punishing your friend, acting cold, or bringing up mistakes they made as ammo in other fights. Let go and move on.  Focus on the future. If you find yourself in a similar issue as before, give your friend the benefit of the doubt instead of jumping to conclusions. When you’re first rebuilding a friendship, it can feel awkward. Spending time with a group will allow you guys to spend time together with a buffer while emotions are still raw.  Ask your entire friend group to go out to dinner. Find community or school events, and pick one that connects to a shared interest. If your friend has met someone new, don’t see it as the end of your friendship. One of you will be the first to find a partner or a new good friend. If your friend does before you do, it can be hard to accept your new dynamic, but know that it happens to everyone.  Don’t see it as a rejection. Your friend is not trying to replace you. They just found someone else they click with. Your relationship may change, but it’s not over. Reach out to the new person. Keep an open mind and try to get to know the other person. If it’s a new boyfriend or girlfriend, be excited for your friend’s happiness and let them feel like they can confide in you. If your friend has a new situation in their life that keeps them from you, such as a sick relative, a new baby, or additional work/school responsibilities, find ways that you can easily fit into their day. Since your friend’s life is changing, your time together may need to change, too. Show them that you still fit into their life.  Visit your friend during your lunch hour. Join your friend in an activity you know they attend regularly, such as a class at the gym....

One easy way to get off track is by living in fear. A decision, on your part, has to be made to emerge from the fear of the future. Nobody knows the future so don’t let it be a barrier to a successful future. Hold yourself accountable by being consistent, dependable, and innovative.  Action can build your courage. Embrace your fears so that you can move past them and open your world to new possibilities of realizing who you really are. Positive thinking breeds success. Instead of always anticipating the worst train yourself to always expect the best out of all that you do. Lean on your family and friends for support. They tend to see your strengths whenever you have forgotten them and are often full of praise and encouragement. Repeating failure will result in repeating failure. Break the cycle by resetting your life for success. The important step in resetting your life is to put everything in its proper place so that you can excel in all areas of your life. In other words, live your daily life so that it collides with your dreams and aspirations.  Breaking the cycle of failure is not easy. At some point, you will have to interrupt the way you think, act, or feel to reset your life. All three are interconnected but concentrating on changing one link can lead to changes in the other two links. Interrupt your thinking by improving the answers to your problems. These ideas cannot originate in thin air so take time to read books and articles, ask a professional or colleague, or brainstorm with friends for new ideas. Interrupt your feeling by channeling your emotions to receive positive thinking that produces the results that you want. For example, keep a journal, review your goals regularly, surround yourself with positive people and ideas, and change your physiology to trigger a positive set of feelings. Interrupt your actions by changing what you are currently doing. You might have to experiment first to decide what actions to focus on but, generally, start working on new ideas as soon as you can, modify your...

Ready the soil. Add some drainage, if necessary. Separate your green to protect against weeds. Smooth the soil. Sink your putting hole.

Due to the variety of possible causes of this serious skin problem, there is a range of possible treatments that could be prescribed by your veterinarian. Unfortunately, antihistamines have a disappointing effect in dogs and most require either short courses of steroids, or one of the modern anti-itch medications now available such at Apoquel or Atopica. There are new products coming on the market all the time., Use prescribed medication according to your veterinarian's instructions. Medication is used to control the itching and start the healing process. Flea allergy dermatitis is one of the most common causes of itching for dogs. Eliminating flea bites on the dog is often the first step to addressing your pet’s itching even if you don’t see any fleas. Dogs can develop an allergic reaction to the flea saliva that causes the dog to overreact with severe itching even if only one flea was involved. Flea control for your dog, all other pets in the household and the immediate environment must be implemented and continued on a monthly basis. The treatment for each mite differs. Serious cases of generalized Demodex may take months of treatment, whereas scabies is typically handled within a few weeks.,  Your vet will prescribe medication for the parasites. Scabies can easily spread to other animals and humans. Steps must be taken to eradicate the infestation in the dog’s entire environment as well as on the dog and on any other pets that may be exposed to the infestation. Prescription shampoos are available from your veterinarian to manage itching as well as treat yeast and bacterial infections. These products may be used in addition to oral medication.  Over-the-counter flea shampoos such as medicated or coal tar shampoo risk further irritating open skin wounds. Consult with your veterinarian before trying any over-the-counter treatment on your dog. Bathing is good for itchy skin, but don't use human shampoo. A mild oatmeal-based shampoo specially formulated for dogs may temporarily decrease itching. If your dog’s...

TL;DR in English: Discuss possible treatments with your vet. Use a flea control treatment. Treat your dog for parasitic mites. Try a prescription shampoo. Ask about the steroid Prednisone. Ask about an antihistamine. Try an antibiotic. Talk to your veterinarian about allergy testing. Ask about a veterinary dermatologist. Avoid over-the-counter itch relief remedies.

You'll need to tear up any original sod where you plan to make your green. After sod removal, you should rake rocks and other debris to create optimal drainage, aeration, and seeding conditions.  Using a tiller for the soil will loosen and aerate the soil even more, promoting even better growth and soil consistency. Keep in mind that spring is the best time to plant a putting green. The best way to ensure that your putting area stays sufficiently drained is to install drainage tiles or vented plastic pipe. Dig a trenches that are roughly 24 inches (61 cm) deep and 12 inches wide, that lead from the edges of your green and through it, with the trench sloping downward away from your green leading water away from it. To install drainage, you should:  Place filter fabric around the bottom of your trench so it reaches up the sides. Lay your perforated/vented plastic pipe in the trench. Fill your trench with 12 inches (30.5 cm) of coarse, clean gravel. Fold the ends of your filter fabric on top of your gravel. Refill the remainder of your trench with soil. An extra degree of separation can not only keep your putting green more weed free, it can also keep your yard from getting invaded with Bentgrass or Bermuda. Using a plastic lining is a good way to protect your green from your yard and your yard from your green. For your first attempt at making your own putting green, the easiest kind to make are mostly level. Low spots can ruin the quality of your grass, so you should spread soil evenly with your rake. Keep about a yard of sand off to the side to fill in low spots, animal tracks, or any other unplanned changes to your green. Using your bulb planter, create a hole slightly larger than a golf ball where you think would be best for you putting hole. This is just to give you an idea of the layout of your green; you will sculpt the hole and insert the putting cup later.

If you’re using a measuring cup, you can use a spoon or spatula to scoop the peanut butter into the measuring cup.

Fill a measuring cup with 2-cups (473.176 ml) of water. Spoon peanut butter into the measuring cup. Subtract 2 cups (473.176 ml) from the water measurement.

If your grass is close-clipped, every stick has been picked up, and there's not a muddy spot to be found, bees will have trouble finding a home in your yard, no matter how many wildflowers you plant. Bees are wild creatures who need a wild habitat to thrive. If you want them to take up residence in your yard, do the following:  Allow for some open, meadow-like spaces in your yard and garden. Leave an area un-mowed and let wild clover grow. If you don't have clover in your yard, scatter some white clover seed over the area in the fall. Leave a small brush pile and some leaves lying where they fell. Bees will use them to make a home. Leave patches of exposed dirt that turn to mud when it rains. Some bees live underground and will thank you for access to the mud they need. Bees have trouble using birdbaths, because they aren't able to land in deep water. They need an island to land on so they can walk to the edge and take a drink or a bath without drowning. To make a bee bath, take a wide, shallow dish or tray and line the edges with flat rocks. Pour water over the rocks and into the bottom of the tray. Place it in your garden near the flowers that attract the most bees. The bees will be able to land on the rocks and access the water. Rotting vegetation and stumps are great shelters for bees. More and more backyard gardeners are installing hives and other bee shelters to provide nesting spots for bees. If you're serious about attracting bees to your yard and helping them thrive, this option might be something to consider. You can start by building a small bee "house" using the following method:  Take a small wooden box and paint it a bright color, preferably white, yellow, bright blue or purple. Use organic paint so the bees won't get sick.  Layer the box with nesting tubes, standing them upright. You can buy them from a garden store or make your own by rolling brown craft paper around a pencil, pinching off the end and holding it together with tape, leaving the ends open. Fill the box to the top with these...

TL;DR in English: Let it get a little wild. Make a bee bath. Provide a bee shelter. Stop using pesticides of any kind. Plant flowering trees to attract bees.

Peanut butter is hard to measure in a traditional liquid measuring cup because it's sticky and tends to ball up. If you fill up a container with water first, you can measure the amount of peanut butter without having to level it out. Fill up a measuring cup made for liquids with 2-cups (473.1 ml) of water. If you don’t want the peanut butter to stick to the spoon or spatula that you’re using, spray it down with non-stick cooking spray, butter, or oil beforehand. Otherwise, just add peanut butter to the water in the measuring cup. The peanut butter will cause the water to rise in your measuring cup. Once the water rises to the 3-cups (709.7 ml) mark, you’ll have 1-cup (236.58 mg) of peanut butter. Continue to scoop the peanut butter into the measuring cup until you have the amount you need.

TL;DR in English:


Evaluate the situation carefully. Approach the person if you think that they may be neglecting their dog. Report the person to the proper authorities if you suspect neglect.

In the opening paragraph of the letter, you should immediately introduce yourself or your company and your cause – specifically. Don't beat around the bush. People need to be hooked right out of the gate.  Don't assume people know who you are or what your organization does. Explain those things, clearly. Begin with a description of the company (if it's a corporate letter) or yourself (if it's for personal sponsorship). For example, such-and-such firm is a nonprofit organization committed to rehabilitation... etc. Highlighting a few accomplishments right away will make it clear why it's not a risk to give you sponsorship. Make it very clear how the money will be specifically used. In the second paragraph or first, you need to make the direct request for sponsorship and explain why you are seeking it. In order to give you sponsorship, a company or person needs to be convinced they will benefit from doing so. So in the middle paragraphs of the letter, clearly communicate the benefits – not to you, but to them.  If the sponsors will get good publicity out of the sponsorship, for example, explain how.  Be very specific: Will the event be televised? How many people will be attending? Will there be VIPS? If other prominent companies or their competitors are sponsoring your event, you might want to mention that. Give the sponsors options. They will like the fact they have different choices to match their individual needs or budgets. This means including a few numbers – audience size, for example, or demographics of those they will reach.  Also don't forget to thread in an element of emotional appeal - a personal story of someone who will be helped, for example, if said briefly (in a sentence or two) can be very moving. Explain how you will give the sponsors recognition for their sponsorship. Perhaps they can have free booth space at your event in exchange for sponsorship.   Provide the essential details of the sponsorship deal that they will need to make their decision. Don't forget to include contact information....

TL;DR in English: Write a good intro. Outline the benefits. Convince with supporting evidence. Communicate background about the event. Follow up personally. Here is an example:

If you are suspicious that a dog owner may be neglecting his dog, be sure that you understand the situation before you try to do anything. Look for signs that the dog is being neglected. There are some obvious signs of neglect to be on the lookout for:  No shelter Collar too tight Lack of grooming Mange (missing hair, body covered in sores) Starvation It is important to be tactful when approaching someone who you suspect is neglecting their dog or you may make the situation worse. You might offend the person or even worse, that person may take out their aggression on their dog. Bring the subject up in casual conversation and don’t accuse them of neglect. Say things like, “I’ve noticed your dog spends a lot of time outside” or ask “how’s your dog doing? He’s such a pretty dog.” Don’t put the person on the offensive.  Try to understand their situation before you jump to any conclusions. Poor dog care resulting from poverty is different than malice. Figure out how you can best help the dog. You may offer to lend a helping hand. You could offer to walk or play with the dog when the owner isn’t around. Or you may need to contact the authorities. It is important to report a dog owner who you suspect is neglecting their dog, but the prosecution process can take time. Keep in mind that animal cruelty officers do their best to respond to reports as quickly as possible, but they get a lot of complaints. You can dial 911 and ask to speak with the animal cruelty officer. Contact the Humane Society of the United States at 1-866-720-2676 or a similar agency in your country.

Use a mild liquid dish-washing soap. Mix a few tsp (10 to 15 mL) of soap into 1 gallon (4 L) of water. Pour the solution into a large squirt bottle. Test the mixture on your plants. Spray the pests directly with the mixture. Continue to spray your plants every 2-

The milder your soap is, the less likely it is to have a harmful effect on your plants. Stay away from anti-bacterial, scented, and other specialized soaps. Mild soaps like Dawn and castile soap work perfectly. Combine the soap and water in a large bowl. Use your hands or a large spoon to mix the ingredients together. Use a funnel to transfer the liquid and then replace the nozzle. You may not be able to fit all of the solution into a bottle! Just use the largest bottle you can find to make use of as much of the solution as possible. Spray a small section of the infested plant with the solution and monitor it throughout the course of a day. If it does not wilt or change color, the solution is likely safe. Cover the top and undersides of leaves, focusing on the areas that seem the most overcome with pests. The spray works by removing the protective wax on the insect, which causes it to lose a fatal amount of water. Since this pesticide is fairly diluted, continued application is the only way to ensure that the infestation ends.

TL;DR in English: Opt for a mild liquid dish-washing soap. Mix a few tsp (10 to 15 mL) of soap into 1 gallon (4 L) of water. Pour the solution into a large squirt bottle. Test the mixture on your plants. Spray the pests directly with the mixture. Continue to spray your plants every 2-3 days for the next 2 weeks.

Every word in the English language can be categorized as a specific part of speech. The parts of speech do not define what a word is. Instead, they describe how to use that word.  A noun is a person, place, or thing. Example: grandma, school, pencil A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun within a sentence. Example: he, she, they  Articles are special terms that proceed a noun within a sentence. The three articles are: a, an, the An adjective modifies or describes a noun or pronoun. Example: red, tall A verb is a word that describes an action or state of being. Example: be, run, sleep An adverb modifies or describes a verb. Adverbs can also be used to modify adjectives. Example: happily, wonderfully A conjunction joins two parts of a sentence together. Example: and, but A preposition is used in combination with a noun or pronoun to create a phrase that modifies other parts of speech, like a verb, noun, pronoun, or adjective. Example: up, down, of, from  Interjections are words that express an emotional state. Example: wow, ouch, hey Most parts of speech have additional rules governing their usage. If you want to master English grammar, you will need to study these rules in detail. Make note of the following for your studies:  Nouns can be: singular or plural; proper or common; collective; count or non-count; abstract or concrete; gerunds Pronouns can be: personal, possessive, reflexive, intensive, reciprocal, indefinite, demonstrative, interrogative, or relative Adjectives can be used on their own, for the sake of making comparisons, or as superlatives. Adverbs are either relative adverbs or adverbs of frequency. Conjunctions are either coordinating or correlative. Verbs can be: action verbs or linking verbs; main verbs or auxiliary/helping verbs The articles "a" and "an" are indefinite, while the article "the" is definite. Single-digit numbers (zero through nine) should be spelled out in word form, but double-digit numbers (10 and up) should be written in numerical form.  All numbers within a...

Cut out coupons for the things you usually buy at the store, and not for the things you do not need. Double up on coupons. Write a grocery list, so you do not forget anything and it helps you stay on target and not get sidetracked. Buy non-name brand items or store brand items. When on the highway use cruise control. Limit the amount of driving. Combine trips, you could do several short trips in one longer trip. Stop wasting your money on lottery tickets. Do not dine out. Don’t buy alcohol. Use coupons. Know about breaks for kids. Order takeout. Instead of entrees, buy appetizers. Turn off the lights when you are not in the room. Keep your car well maintained. Pay with cash.

Lightly grease the inside of a 9 by 13-inch (22.86 by 33.02-centimeter) rectangular cake pan, then line it with two crisscrossing sheets of parchment paper. If you'd rather have a round pan, lightly grease the inside of an 8-inch (20.32-centimeter) spring form pan instead.  Leave a few inches/centimeters of parchment paper hanging over the edge of your rectangular pan. This will make it easier to remove. If you are doing a round pan, lining the bottom with an 8-inch (20.32-centimeter) parchment paper circle would be a good idea. Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, then add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk everything together, then stir in the sugar. For a lighter, fluffier cake, try cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. Make a large well in the center of the dry ingredients first. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, water, white vinegar, vanilla extract, and melted butter, whisking well after each addition. Don't worry if there are a few lumps in the batter.  For extra flavor, switch out the water for orange juice. Add some orange zest.  Sweetened condensed milk may come in different-sized cans. A large (400-milliliter) can will give you a sweeter cake than a small (300-milliliter) can. Pour the batter into the pan. Use a rubber spatula to scrape out any leftover batter in the bowl. Gently tap the pan to help release any air bubbles. Place the pan into the center of the oven, and let it bake for 25 to 35 minutes. It is ready when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven using oven mitts or a potholder. Set it down onto a wire cooling rack, and let it cool for 15 to 20 minutes before removing it from the pan.  To remove a rectangular cake: lift it out by the over-hanging parchment paper. To remove a spring form cake: undo the clasp on the side of the pan, then lift away the side wall. Use a long knife to cut the cake in half. Prepare some buttercream frosting, then use an off-set cake decorating spatula to spread some of it...

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Sift together the dry ingredients, then add the sugar. Whisk in the wet ingredients, one at a time. Transfer the batter into the pan. Bake the cake for 25 to 35 minutes. Allow the cake to cool on a rack before removing it from the pan. Frost the cake as desired.

You could use a store coupon and manufacturers coupon together.  These items are usually the same quality as top brand names. You can save an average on thirty percent. You save fourteen percent on gas with an average saving of seven percent. This would come out to about twenty cents discount on each gallon. You could carpool or catch a bus. For example, designate Thursday for errand day. Get everything done that day, than you will not have to make wasted trips continuously throughout the week. Lottery is just a tax on the poor and on people who cannot do math. If everyone decided to save their two dollars ( sometimes a lot more than this amount is spent) every week, they would be saving one hundred and four dollars per year and one thousand and forty over ten years. A family of four eating at a fast food restaurant would cost somewhere around twenty-five dollars. If you take two trips per week, it would total to fifty dollars. Over the course of the year, you would spend about two thousand six hundred dollars. If you were to dine out at let’s say Applebee’s it would cost you around forty dollars, overall the course of the year it would be four thousand dollars. Instead, prepare meals at home to save money. You could save twenty percent on your bill. Many restaurants offer coupons. Kids eat free on some nights at certain restaurants.  Check with the restaurant before traveling, to ensure this is part of their policy. You can drink pop at home and you don’t have to leave a tip.

Think carefully before starting a romance with one of your roommates. If you bring back a boyfriend to your place, refer back to the household rules on what everyone has agreed upon about having others back to stay.

It may seem strange, but the condition of your feet is one way to determine whether you have a low metabolism. Dry feet and cracked heels indicate slow metabolism because dry skin is one of the symptoms that your thyroid hormones are out of balance.   If you've eliminated other potential causes of cracking or peeling skin on your feet, such as athlete's foot or nail fungus, your slowing metabolism may be to blame. Dry skin elsewhere, as well as dry or thinning hair, also may indicate a slow metabolism. As with your feet, however, make sure you eliminate other causes for these conditions before you jump to the conclusion that your metabolism is slowing based on this single symptom. Cold feet also may be an indication of slowing metabolism. While this is related to your overall body temperature, some people may have cold hands and feet constantly, despite feeling warm elsewhere. For example, you may only be comfortable if you are wearing socks, even in warm weather. One sure way to tell if your metabolism is slowing is to think about whether you are always cold. If you have difficulty maintaining your body temperature even in a warm environment, you may have a slow metabolism.  You can rely on behavior to figure this out. For example, if you're in a room with several people, all of whom are complaining that it's warm while you're shivering in a sweater, you probably have a lower overall body temperature. Take your temperature first thing when you wake up in the morning. If it's below 98, this may indicate that your body has difficulty regulating its overall temperature, which can be a symptom of slower metabolism. Slow metabolism can cause serious sleep disruptions, including insomnia. If you have severe sleep disturbances, you probably don't have to keep track of your sleep specifically to know you have a problem.  However, if you've had sleep disturbances for awhile, you may have adjusted your habits to accommodate those disturbances so that they have less of an effect on you. Generally, you want to get...

TL;DR in English: Look at your feet. Evaluate your overall body temperature. Chronicle your sleep patterns. Talk to people who are around you often. Weigh yourself.

It can complicate things not just for the two of you but for the whole household. When people pair up within a group, it can be awkward for the others, as suddenly the pair turns into a team and other members of the group can feel that they are being left out or even overwhelmed. An article can't tell you whether or not it's appropriate to turn platonic household friendships into romance; that's something you need to tackle if it ever comes up. However, do think long and hard about the consequences and whether it might not just be better for the two of you to find your own digs should the relationship become long-term. It will all depend on the context of everyone you're living with and... it might just never happen anyway. Most importantly, don't let anyone over-stay their welcome; if your boyfriend becomes a fixture in the house, it's probable that the other guys will also want him to pay rent and pitch in, or that you two find your own accommodations together. Treat it the same way as everyone in the household is treated, by being respectful of everyone's comfort.

TL;DR in English:


Notice squinting. Be aware of headaches. Pay attention to double vision. Look for light halos. Notice if you are experiencing a glare. Notice blurry vision. Pay attention to night blindness.

To be ready for a relationship, you must have a healthy relationship with yourself first. When you love yourself first, you understand and honor your values and needs. This makes you more stable for potential relationship.  Perform self-care regularly, taking part in activities that make you feel good and relieve stress. Examples may include reading a book, walking your dog, or participating in a hobby. Make decisions based on needs rather than wants. Choose to take advantage of opportunities and be around people that honor your values and needs. Before you enter a relationship, you want to think about what you are willing to do or how far you are willing to go. You want to think about things like this beforehand as it can be easy to get swept up when you're in the middle of hooking up and your date is pleading with you to take things further. You must feel comfortable telling your date what you want and don't want, and also not feel scared to say "stop" if it becomes necessary. Setting boundaries allows you to feel safe within your relationship knowing that you stand behind doing things at your own pace. By setting limits, you are supporting your own needs and values emotionally, mentally, and physically. In terms of relationships, two halves do not form a whole. Rather, two whole, healthy people come together to form a greater whole. Looking for someone to complete you is a recipe for a dysfunctional, codependent relationship. You are ready to be in a healthy relationship with another person when you already see yourself as a complete. As a result, you are looking for a partner who complements all that you have to offer. A surefire sign of disaster is being more concerned with finding a partner or being in love than you are in pursuing your goals and desires. Healthy relationships involve two partners who have the freedom and trust within each other to engage in hobbies and activities individually (and also together), hanging out with friends without your mate being there, and supporting one another in...

TL;DR in English: Practice self-love. Know your boundaries. Want someone to complement you, not complete you. Have your own interests. Recognize that the early flame will burn out. Think carefully before rebounding.

This is the act of tightly squeezing the eyes together in an effort to see objects better. People with vision problems often have different shaped eyeballs, cornea, or lens. This physical malformation prevents light from entering into the eye correctly and causes blurry vision. Squinting narrows the curvature of the light and increases the clarity of vision. Headaches can be caused by eye strain. Eye strains are caused by placing too much stress on the eye. Activities that cause eye strains include: driving, staring at computers/tv for long periods of time, reading etc. Double vision is seeing two images of one object. It can occur in one eye or both. Double vision can be caused by having an irregular shaped cornea, cataracts, or astigmatism. A halo is a bright circle surrounded by a source of light, usually headlights.  Halos typically occur in dark environments, for example at night or in dark rooms. A halo can be caused by nearsightedness, farsightedness, cataracts, astigmatism, or presbyopia. A glare is a source of light that enters your eye that does not improve vision. A glare typically occurs in the daytime. A glare can be caused by nearsightedness, farsightedness, cataracts, astigmatism, or presbyopia. Blurry vision is the loss of sharpness in the eye which affects the clarity of vision. Blurry vision can occur in one eye or both. It is a symptom of nearsightedness or farsightedness. Night blindness is trouble seeing at night or in dark rooms.This condition is typically made worse when someone has just been in a bright environment. Night blindness can be caused by cataracts, nearsightedness, certain medication, vitamin A deficiency, retina issues and birth defects.

Start braking at the proper time depending on your speed. Ease off the throttle. Press down on the rear brake with your right foot. Squeeze the front brakes at the same time with 2 fingers to ease into the stop. Hold the clutch to help slow down. Shift into first gear before you get to your stop. Plant your left foot when your bike stops moving.

Look closely at your scars to figure out what color they are. Select a concealer or foundation color that's opposite to your acne scar color on the color wheel. This will effectively camouflage the acne scar. You could use:  Green concealer to cover up reddish acne scars. Yellow concealer to even out blemish areas caused by scars. Pink concealer to balance out purple or dark blemish areas. Use a thin brush that is slightly feathered at the end to apply the concealer. Place a pea-sized amount of concealer on the back of your hand and rub the brush into it. Brush a light layer of concealer over the scar.  You can use your finger to apply the concealer. Just take care not to apply to much or it may actually draw attention to your scar. You'll need to apply a foundation to hide your concealer, especially if your skin tone is a little different than the makeup or you've used a green concealer that's very noticeable. Apply your usual foundation so that your skin tone evens out and the scar is no longer visible. Take care when applying the foundation directly over the scar to avoid rubbing away the concealer. Let your foundation rest for a minute so that it dries a little. Take a large powder brush and apply your powder with broad upward strokes. You can use a loose powder that you simply dab the brush into and tap. Or, you can rub the brush into a pressed powder and tap it before applying. Remember to wash off your makeup every night. This is a habit that will keep your skin healthy and prevent future acne breakouts.

Your average reaction time before you apply the brakes is around 0.62 seconds. When you use your brakes, it will take more time to come to a complete stop if you’re going faster. If you’re going 30 mph (48 km/h), it will take approximately 2.39 seconds to stop but the distance you travel equals about 66 ft (20 m). Always apply your brakes to maintain a safe distance between you and any vehicles in front of you.  Always stay aware of your surroundings and other traffic so you can brake when you need to. If your bike has an anti-lock braking system (ABS brakes), then your stopping time and distance may be slightly shorter. Your braking distance can also be affected by road conditions. Slippery roads, like those made from gravel or covered in rain, will increase the distance it takes to stop. The throttle is located on the right handlebar and twists toward you to accelerate. Slowly turn the throttle toward the front of the bike when you want to decelerate or come to a stop. When you disengage the throttle, your bike will start to slow down naturally since you aren’t giving the engine any gas. If you keep your throttle twisted toward you while you brake, it will cause stress on your transmission and brake pads. The rear brake lever is located in front of your right foot on your motorcycle. When you want to reduce your speed, use your toe to gently press the rear brake lever. Don’t apply too much force or your rear tire will lock up and could cause you to lose control. Avoid only using your rear brakes since it can cause your bike to skid and increase your stopping distance. The front brake control is the handle directly above the throttle on the right handlebar of your motorcycle. As you press down on the rear brake lever, use your index and middle finger to slowly squeeze the front brake controls.  Your front brake controls about 75% of your stopping power and will be the most effective when braking. Avoid squeezing the front brake with all 4 fingers since you might lock the tire and cause you to lose control....

One option for getting rid of the spider is to vacuum it up. If you have a bagless vacuum cleaner, take the spider in the vacuum’s tube, and dump it in an outside trash can. If you have a vacuum cleaner with a bag, throw the bag in an outdoor trash can. It is important that you empty the vacuum cleaner. Don’t just put it back in the closet. If the spider survived being vacuumed up, it may simply crawl out the way it came in. Another easy way to kill a spider from a distance is to spray the spider with bug spray. Many brands have created aerosol foams that can spray several feet. In most cases, spraying the spider with a bug spray will kill it, but even if it doesn’t for some reason, it will definitely slow the spider down a lot. Then you can easily squish it with something without having to worry that it is going to run at you.  Be careful with bug sprays, though. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the spray. Clean the area where you have sprayed thoroughly, especially if you have pets  or young children that could come in contact with the residue left behind. Always store the spray in a safe place that cannot be reached by children or pets. Make sure to clean up the dead spider and throw it in the trash. This is especially important if you have pets that could come along and eat the dead spider. The bug spray could make your pet very sick, or it could even kill them. Perhaps one of the most common ways to kill a spider is to smash it. You can use whatever you have handy. A shoe, a phone book, a newspaper, or anything that you can bring down quickly and easily on top of the spider. A broom with a long handle can also work to smash the spider from a reasonable distance.  Be careful, with this method of killing a spider you risk missing the spider or simply injuring it. If you smash it, make sure you smash it a few times until you are certain it is dead. Clean up the dead spider with a big wad of tissues. This may seem strange, but it turns out that this may be the most humane...

TL;DR in English: Vacuum the spider up. Use bug spray. Smash the spider. Freeze the spider. Ask someone to do it for you. Consider leaving it alone.

Place your golf tee in the ground with some depth. Put your golf ball on the tee.  Use about half of the tees length. Teeing too high or low will alter your drive. Stand so that your golf ball is only a few inches behind your left toe.  Placing the ball here will result in less swing range and more control.  Setting the ball back further in your stance will diminish power. Putting the ball further ahead in your stance will reduce accuracy. Stand just wider than shoulder width.  Taking a narrow stance will constrict your range of motion and grant more control. Don't take too short a stance as this will drastically alter your swing. Place your hands a bit lower down on the grip area of your club, away from the clubs end.  Gripping down further on the club will give you more control over its movement as you swing.  Low grips will trade power for accuracy. Keep your hands and wrists as straight as you can. Keep your weight distributed evenly, shifting only slightly to your right foot.  Keep your head and torso straight and centered with the ball. Bring the club back at a moderate speed. Send the club down, swinging towards your ball.  Strike the ball slightly under its center and with the mid point of your swing.  Make sure you strike the ball with the club face flat.  Swing strongly, but don't overdo it.

daily for clear skin. Start getting rid of milia by getting into a good skincare routine. Make sure to wash your face with warm water twice a day. You should use a light, gentle cleanser. Try choosing one that specifies “gentle” or “sensitive skin.”  Gently rub the cleanser into your skin for 20-30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with a clean, dry towel. Teens and adults should treat milia with an exfoliating treatment. You could either go for an exfoliating moisturizer or a targeted exfoliating product.  An exfoliating moisturizer is a good idea if your milia are widespread and accompanied by dry skin. The moisturizer will reduce the build-up of dead skin cells below your skin and the exfoliating aspect will allow your skin to release the dead cells that have already accumulated. Look for a moisturizer that contains vitamin A. It should also be free of any heavy oils.  A targeted exfoliating treatment is best if you have a few milia that you want to get rid of, but otherwise have no skin problems. Choose a targeted treatment containing salicylic acid. The treatment should be applied directly to the milia once daily until they disappear. Check the label to follow specific instructions for that product. Retinol is commonly used to fight acne and signs of aging. It has exfoliating properties that keep your skin soft and clear. For best results, use a targeted Retinol lotion and apply it directly to the area of your skin affected by the milia.  Wait roughly 30 minutes after you wash your face before using the Retinol. Apply a pea-sized drop of retinol to the milia-covered area of your face every other night. Do not apply Retinol to the upper eyelid since it can cause irritation and damage if it gets into your eyes. Peels are one of the most effective ways to get rid of milia because they are basically a deep chemical exfoliant for your skin. If you can’t afford to see a dermatologist, don’t worry. There are lots of at-home chemical peels that work great and are easy to use.  Look for ingredients such as...

Pick one that gets at least 6 hours of full sunlight per day. Collards need lots of light to grow well. If you want to plant in containers, you can move them during the day to make sure that they get plenty of sun. Go with an area where the soil drains, without any muddy spots or pooled water. On the other hand, the soil should not drain so much that it becomes bone dry and dusty. For a simple test of your soil’s drainage:  Remove the bottom and top of a coffee can. Dig a hole that is 4 inches (10 cm) deep in your soil. Place the can in the hole. Pack soil around it so that it is secure in the ground. Fill the can with water. After an hour has passed, come back and measure how much the water has dropped down in the can. If at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) of water has escaped within the hour, then your soil drains well and is perfect for collards. Collard greens tolerate a range of soil pH’s, with estimates ranging from 6.0 to 7.5. You can purchase a soil pH testing kit from a garden supply store. There are two main types: digital probes and paper strips.  Follow the instructions included with your kit for exact details about testing the soil pH. You can also contact your local county or cooperative extension agency for tips on measuring your soil’s pH. Take a spade and go over the soil. Go down to a depth of about 10 inches (25 cm). Remove any sticks or rocks that you find. If you are using potting soil, then just dump it out in a container and break up any clumps. Collards can tolerate a variety of soil types, but they should all contain plenty of organic matter. If your soil has lots of clay or sand, once it is nice and loose, dump compost on top until there is a layer about 4 inches (10 cm) thick. Use your spade to mix some into the first layer of soil. If you don't have compost, you can use manure instead.

Use a pen, marker, or paint to title your notebook with your name or subject. You can write your name and your class subject, or any other relevant information. You can glue on a notecard or paper scrap before you write on your cover, if you wish. Find pictures you like, like animals, superheros, or cartoons.  Also try using pictures of your friends or family. You can take your pictures yourself, cut them out of magazines, or print them off the Internet. Apply a small amount of glue to your pictures and stick them to your cover.  You could use liquid  glue or a glue stick. You can cover as much of the notebook as you like to personalize your notebook. You can apply stickers as you go or plan out your cover before you start. Select stickers in a variety of sizes and that reflect your likes and interests.  You can also partially cover the pictures you've glued onto the notebook, for a layered effect. You can also make your own stickers and put them on your notebook. Try using 3-D stickers, too! If you still have open spaces on your cover, grab a marker and doodle to fill up space. Doodle stick people, hearts, stars, flowers, smiley faces--anything you'd like!  You can also save some open space and add drawings later. After you have created your collage, finish it off by adding a border to your notebook. You can glue fabric around the edges, using strips of material or ribbon. Or, try using washi tape to create your border.  If you're using fabric, you can apply it to your notebook by dabbing glue to the outside edges. Then, stick your fabric to your glue spots. Using a hot glue gun or fabric glue is recommended. If you are using washi tape, peel off the tape from the roll and apply it to the edge of your notebook, like you would a sticker. Apply washi tape in long pieces or in small sections.

As a non-licensee, you can ship anywhere within your state of residence. Don’t send firearms to other states or countries. If you need to ship your firearm out-of-state for repairs, you can only do it through an FFL holder. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) defines your state of residence as:  The state where you’re physically present and have the intention of staying indefinitely. The state where you’re registered to vote. The state(s) where you live for substantial parts of the year. You are legally allowed to ship to anyone, including other non-licensees. Have your recipient show you a copy of their firearm license or other documentation proving that they can legally own a firearm. You can also conduct a background check on your potential recipient by making sure they aren’t:  A felon A convict of domestic violence A subject of a domestic restraining order A fugitive An unlawful user of a controlled substance An undocumented worker A dishonorably discharged veteran A former U.S. citizen (who has renounced their U.S. citizenship) Someone declared mentally deficient or involuntarily committed to a mental institution. You are allowed ship to a firearm to yourself in a different state. However, only you may open and take possession of the package. If you’re relocating to a different state, you may pack your firearms and ship them with the rest of your belongings. Before doing so, check that the type of firearm you’re moving is in compliance with that state’s laws and local ordinances. Don’t ship handguns through the United States Postal Service (USPS). USPS does not accept handguns for shipment from non-licensees. If you want to ship a handgun as a non-licensee, you will have to use a commercial carrier like FedEx or UPS. As a non-licensee, you may only rifles or shotguns through USPS.

Feed your hermit crab a high-quality food that’s specifically made for hermit crabs. Find it in your local pet store or online. Check the label on the food to see how much to feed them each day.  You may want to alternate between several different foods. Hermit crabs love to have variety in their diet. Small crabs will usually need about 1 small spoonful of food per day. Avoid any food that contains copper sulfate or ethoxyquin. Hermit crabs are omnivorous scavengers that take advantage of any available food both in the wild and captivity. Always add natural food that they would eat in their natural habitat.  Try feeding grapes, bananas, blueberries, and apples. They love tropical fruits found in their natural habitat, like mangoes, papaya, and coconut. Avoid giving them citrus fruits, like lemons or oranges. All vegetables except for onions and scallions are great for crabs. They especially enjoy carrots, lettuce, and spinach. Try giving plain cereals, rice, pasta, unsalted nuts, and rolled oats as treats once per week. Many hermit crabs also really enjoy ground flaxseed. Provide small pieces of meat for your crabs on a daily basis. Hermit crabs love picking meat off of bones. Any type of meat will do: turkey, beef, duck, lobster, catfish, or grubs. Be sure the meat is unseasoned and doesn’t have any sauce, butter, salt, or oil on it. You can serve them raw or cooked. Land hermit crabs need a calcium-rich diet. Find crushed oyster shells, or cuttlebones at your local pet store. Make sure there is always some in the tank for the crabs to eat. Never use calcium sand though, as it can act like cement when wet, and can coat your crabs legs, and make it hard for them to walk.  Land hermit crabs need calcium to help their exoskeleton grow. It’s also important to help them molt. Add some treats to the crabitat a few times per month. Crabs enjoy natural peanut butter, applesauce, raisins, trail mix, and popcorn without butter or salt.  Crabs also enjoy eating grass, oak leaves, and tree bark. Rinse them off with...

Wear a bikini or a pretty one-piece that makes you feel comfortable and cute. Try a bathing suit in a bright color or pattern you wouldn’t normally wear. Slip into a wetsuit or rash guard, too, if you’re going surfing.  Try a white or neon bathing suit to bring out the tan in your skin. Or go with bright red for that classic Baywatch-inspired beach babe look!  Choose a one-piece or a tankini if you want to cover up your tummy. If you have a larger chest, a structured suit with underwire is a great choice; if you have a smaller chest, go for ruffles or embellishment on the top. Slip on a light swimsuit coverup, a flowing patterned dress, or a bright t-shirt, tank, or crop top with shorts. Remember to coordinate colors or patterns with your bathing suit if you can! Top your look with a big sun hat, straw cowboy hat, or cap. Bring along a warm layer, like a light blanket, a hoodie, or a cute knit poncho, if you’re headed to the beach at night. Wear your hair in a loose bun or ponytail, or down and tousled. Get beachy waves if you have straight hair by keeping it in braids before letting it down, or putting wet hair into four small buns before bed and letting your hair loose in the morning. If you have curly hair or an afro, let it loose or try tiny braids.  Try a salt spray product, or make your own by combining sea salt and water in a spray bottle. You can also add coconut oil and leave-in conditioner to the mix to keep hair moisturized.  For natural sun-kissed blonde highlights, combine fresh lemon juice or chamomile tea with water in a spray bottle and spray from the middle to ends of your hair before going out in the sun. Do this regularly to start seeing a difference in your hair color. Don’t wear any makeup at all, or stick to a light lip gloss or chapstick. You can wear mascara, but make sure it’s the waterproof variety.  Try a chapstick that has built-in SPF for a soft shine that will also keep your lips from getting sunburned or dried and chapped from the wind. Use a tinted moisturizer with SPF, which...

If you want to keep busy, it may be easier to do so once you get negative feelings out of your head. Get a pen and paper and jot down what you're feeling for a little bit each day. Then, once your feelings are out, you can focus your energy elsewhere.  Make a list of everything he did to disappoint you. For example, write things like, "He never held my hand in public" and "He didn't want to call me his girlfriend." Once you're done, set the list aside and try to focus your energy somewhere else. In the wake of a breakup, you may find yourself constantly thinking about what went wrong and why. It can be helpful to have new goals. This will help you stay busy and avoid thinking about him.  It is important to strike a balance between activity/distraction and rest/reflection. Thinking about it too much can result in depression, but running away from it can keep you from healing. Think about something you always wanted to do. For example, did you always want to take up running? Try developing a workout routine that will teach you to run. People often become obsessive over past lovers. Sometimes, the easiest way to beat one obsession is to replace it with another. Try to stay present instead of lingering over what happened in the past. At any given moment, keep your mind on what you're feeling and experiencing right now.  Try to enjoy the small day to day things. Even something as simple as eating a great lunch should be savored. If you find yourself thinking about your ex, stop and think something like, "That was then. I'm going to focus on what I'm doing and how I'm feeling right now." You can use grounding techniques to get off the hamster wheel of thinking about him and bring you into the present. Look around and name five things you see. Five colors. Five textures. Close your eyes and identify what you hear or smell. Self care is important, especially after someone hurt you.

Warm up or cool down by practicing bobbing and weaving. Concentrate on making each part of the movement crisp and deliberate. When you’re first getting the hang of it, the bob and the weave should be performed in sequence as two distinct motions. You can begin fine-tuning the movements as you develop a feel for the technique.  Performing the bob and weave technique requires a lot of head movement. Do some light stretches before you begin practicing to keep from pulling a muscle. Bobbing and weaving should be done fluidly and spontaneously. Try not to develop a pattern in your head movement, or your opponent may catch on. For your defense to be successful, it's essential that your opponent does not know where your head is going to be. One traditional approach to drilling the bob and weave makes use of a rope to approximate the center line of your opponent’s body. Simply stretch a length of rope (something as basic as a clothesline will work) from end of the room to the other at roughly chest-height. Then, work your way down the line, bobbing down and weaving underneath the rope and standing back up on the opposite side each time.  Bobbing and weaving with a rope teaches you to move your head while moving forward and backward, the way you would in the ring. Throw some quick combinations as you come up on either side of the rope. This will condition you to follow up an evasion with counter punching. If you receive regular instruction, ask your coach for some assistance refining your bob and weave defense. They’ll be able to critique your technique, demonstrate new training methods and work with you on the target mitts. One-on-one interaction with a coach will simulate using the technique against a live opponent and provide valuable experience. A good coach will also be able to show you how to modify your defensive posture to suit your particular style and body type. Add a little bobbing and weaving the next time you cool down with a shadow boxing session. Imagine that you’re sparring with an invisible opponent...
