You may want to leave nail holes in your wall to give your planking a more rustic appearance, but for a more finished look, fill in these holes with spackle. If your nail holes are very small, you may want to take a hammer and lightly tap holes with it to create a small indentation where the hole is. Dip a putty knife into your spackle, then:  Pull the putty knife over the indentation so that the spackle fills the hole. Try to work some of the spackle deeply into the nail hole. Drag your knife flat against the plank so that a flat, unblemished surface remains. Allow the spackle to dry completely according to its label instructions. Lightly sand spackled areas with fine grit sandpaper (120 to 220 rating). Apply a second layer of spackle in the same fashion as the first. Insert your caulk into a caulk gun and apply it according to its directions. Generally, this involves cutting the tip off the applicator and pressing the applicator lever on the gun. Then, use your gun to fill in the gaps between planks and between planks and the ceiling/wall.  Caulking the gaps will give a more finished look to your wall. What's more, you can use a paint-able caulk, so when you paint the color of your accent planking uniform. After caulk hardens, it retains some flexibility. This is great for you planking, which may warp or swell in humid weather. The caulk will flex with the planks, preventing them from popping free or coming loose. your accent planking before painting. Many kinds of planking are very absorbent. By using two to three layers of primer, you'll not only have a more chip resistant finish, but you'll also use less paint over the course of this project, saving you money.  Primer is also useful when you are trying to paint over a dark color, or colors that are vibrant, which can sometimes show through paint-only applications. Use long, even, overlapping strokes when applying your primer to the planking. Prime from top to bottom to decrease the likelihood of drips and runs. Once you are finished priming your first...

TL;DR in English: Spackle over nail holes, if desired. Caulk the gaps between boards, if desired. Prime Paint your accent planking.

It sounds strange, but responding well to rejection takes practice. It can actually be psychologically beneficial to enter contests or apply for jobs where you know rejection is likely, if not certain. This can actually help numb your response to rejection over time. Think of a strategy of how to respond to rejection beforehand and then begin engaging in low stakes events and competitions where you know rejection is likely. Preparing for rejection helps lessen the sting. Before engaging in a particular event, know what the chances are that you'll be successful. For example, a study shows that only 2% of resumes are looked at for any given job application. Understanding you might not get a callback going in can lessen the rejection down the road. One of the best ways to handle rejection is to pursue many things at once. Submit a story to multiple journals, as long as their website does not forbid simultaneous submissions. If that's the case, try sending out multiple stories at once. Apply to hundreds of jobs. If you're trying to find a romantic relationship, go on dates with many different people. Having a lot of things going on can keep you from focusing on a single rejection. It also increases the likelihood of eventual success. If you're feeling rejected, spending time with those who care about you can help. Spend a night with friends or family members who are encouraging of you and your pursuits. This will remind you of your self worth and that you are not universally rejected as your friends will be excited to spend time with you.

The low E string is the lowest and thickest string on your guitar. If you're holding your guitar in playing position and looking down, it will be the top string closest to you.  The note at the fifth fret of the low E is the same as the open A string, the next string over from the

Fret Match the open A string to the low E string at the fifth fret. Repeat the same process to tune the D and G strings. Fret the G string at the fourth fret to tune the B string. Return to the fifth fret to tune the high E string. Strum a few chords to test your tuning.

Finding an ethical, reputable breeder is very important to ensure the health of your new pup. If you contact the breeder, but they are coy about letting you see where the puppies were born and the conditions they are currently living in, this is a possible sign they are running a dirty breeding business or a puppy mill. Create a list of questions to ask during your visit to the breeder, including:  How long have you been a dog breeder? How many types of dogs do you breed at one time? How often do you clean, feed, and play with the dogs? Are you a registered dog breeder? Can you show me proof of the dogs' physical health from a licensed veterinarian? Can I meet the pup's mother or parents? Can you provide references from other individuals or families who have purchased dogs from you before? Can you tell me about any potential genetic issues or problems with the types of dogs you breed? Can I return for multiple visits with my family before making a purchase? The breeder should be willing to show you the areas where the pups and the parents of the pups live.  The living areas for the dogs should be clean, spacious and well maintained. The dogs should be kept in roomy spaces that meet the needs of their particular breed. For example, most small breeds will be housed inside in the home, while sporting breeds will have plenty of outdoor space for exercise. The dogs should be lively, clean, healthy, and not shy in front of visitors. But they should also not be aggressive towards you.  Note if the breeder is meeting the psychological and physical needs of their dogs by providing toys, exercise, and social interaction. If the breeder is stand offish or cold towards the dogs, this is likely a bad sign. The puppies should also be raised in the breeder's home, and the breeder should demonstrate care and attention to the puppies. A reputable breeder will likely not have a constant supply of puppies, as this would indicate a puppy mill and possibly bad treatment of the animals. They may keep a list of interested buyers...

TL;DR in English: Ask to meet the breeder in person at their facility and be prepared with a list of questions. Check the conditions of the breeding facility. Pay attention to the attitude and demeanor of the breeder's dogs. Check that the breeder only breeds one or two breeds. Wait to see if the breeder encourages you to interact with the puppy's parents. Ask the breeder about how they treat the mothers or bitches.

the low E string at the fifth fret. The low E string, also called the sixth string, is the lowest and thickest string on your guitar. If you're holding your guitar in playing position and looking down, it will be the top string closest to you.  The note at the fifth fret of the low E is the same as the open A string, the next string over from the low E. For this method, it isn't necessary to first tune your low E string. Even though your instrument may not be to concert pitch or absolute pitch, the strings will be tuned to each other. Anything you play will "sound right," as long as you're playing by yourself and not with another instrument tuned to concert pitch. Listen to the sound coming from the low E string, then play the open A string. Tune the open A string up or down until it matches the sound coming from the low E string. If the open A string is higher than the A you play at the fifth fret of the low E string, tune it down and then bring it back up. Once you have the A in tune, fret it at the fifth fret and pluck it. This is a D. Pluck the open D string, and tune the it up or down to match. When the D string is in tune, fret it at the fifth fret to play a G. Pluck the open G string and compare. Tune it up or down to match the sound. The process changes somewhat for the B string, because there is a shorter interval between G and B. Fret the G string at the fourth fret to play a B. Pluck the open B string and compare the sounds. Tune the open B string up or down until it matches the sound produced on the G string. Once you have the B string in tune, fret it at the fifth fret and pluck to play a high E. Tune the open high E string up or down to match the sound coming from the B string. If the open high E string is higher in pitch than the high E played on the B string, tune it down and then bring it up to pitch slowly and gradually. The high E string has a lot of tension and will snap easily. If you're getting ready to play a particular song, you may want to check your tuning with chords from that song...

Wash your hands. Make a scoop with your hands inside of his cage. Determine if he is nibbling or biting. Handle your dwarf hamster every day.

These days, many companies sell special devices designed to make it easier to close small gaps in hardwood and laminate flooring. These most often take the form of small, heavy rectangular blocks. The blocks feature an adhesive rubber face that provides traction to maneuver the slipped plank back into place with a few taps of a mallet.  You can find floor gap fixers at most major home improvement centers or online for around $40-60. If you’re trying to keep spending to a minimum for your repair project, try making your own floor gap fixer tool by coating one side of a 4x4 with double-sided tape. Peel the plastic covering away to expose the tacky rubber pad underneath. This surface will be used to grip the laminate plank while you force it back into place manually. The adhesive pad of the floor gap fixer is reusable, as long as it’s properly cleaned between projects. Situate the tool in the center of either plank, then press down firmly on the topside with both hands to anchor it. It should stick to the plank securely enough to prevent slipping or scooting while you work.  Once you get started, you'll the shift the plank in the direction of the gap to close it off. Avoid removing the block once it’s in place unless it’s absolutely necessary, as this may weaken the hold of the adhesive pad. When using the floor gap fixer, it’s generally best to inch the problem plank towards the center of the floor, rather than outward towards the wall. This will ensure that the far end remains concealed by the baseboard. If you go towards the wall instead, you may end up having to deal with gaps in adjacent planks as a result. When correcting more than one plank in the same row, it may be necessary to also move the neighboring planks inward to keep the spacing consistent and avoid making the gap worse. Steady the tool with one hand and give the side furthest from the gap a couple whacks to move the loose plank closer to the one it’s drifted away from. It should slide along a few millimeters at a time. Continue tapping the...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a floor gap fixer tool. Remove the protective backing from the adhesive face of the block. Position the block 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of one of the displaced planks. Work your way toward the center of the floor and away from the wall. Tap the end of the block with a mallet to close the gap. Repeat with any remaining gaps.

Having clean hands will keep your dwarf hamster from biting you when you pick him up. If your hands smell like food, then he will essentially see your hand as food and bite it to try to get a taste. Wash your hands with  unscented  soap before handling your dwarf hamster. Creating a scoop with your hands will keep your dwarf hamster supported as you lift him up. In addition, by placing your hands underneath your dwarf hamster, he will probably walk onto them.  Do not reach down into your dwarf hamster’s cage to pick him up. Your hand will remind him of a large bird of prey swooping down to snatch him up — he will be terrified by this.  Use slow and gentle movements when putting your hands in his cage. Always speak to your dwarf hamster  before  putting your hands in his cage. Your voice will help keep him calm as you go to pick him up.  Do not chase your dwarf hamster around his cage to get him to step onto your hands. Let him come to you instead of the other way around. There are important differences between your dwarf hamster’s nibbling and biting when you pick him up. His nibbles are friendly and are his way of exploring your hand. Nibbles generally do not hurt.  Bites are usually not friendly. They are your dwarf hamster’s way of telling you that he is stressed, scared, or just upset that you haven’t handled him enough. Hamster bites are usually faster than a nibble and are accompanied by a sound of distress, like a squeak. Bites can be painful. Whether your dwarf hamster bites or nibbles, do not jerk your hand away. This could frighten him and make him wary of you. Gently blowing in his face and saying a firm "no" should stop the biting behavior. Russian dwarf hamsters have short memories, so your dwarf hamster may not remember that you just held him the day before. Handle him each day so that he will not become distressed or upset with not being held enough.  Dwarf hamsters enjoy being handled.  Do not let your dwarf hamster fall out of your hands when you hold him. Prevent this by supporting his body...

You should use one hand to support the baby's head and neck. Slowly ease the baby into the water, whether you're using the sink, a bathtub, or a small plastic tub for your baby.  Make sure your baby is relaxed and comfortable. Prepare for some tears. Not all babies like the feeling of being lowered into water, especially not at first. Others, however, love the water right away! Use a pitcher, or your hand, to carefully pour cupfuls of water onto your baby's body and over its head. Make sure to wet your child's skin and hair completely. Just don't get water in your baby's eyes or pour water all over its face quickly, or it will get upset. You want your baby to be completely wet before you start using soap. Just know that babies will be more slippery when they're wet. Prepare to handle your baby with extra care once you've lowered it into the water. Make sure you use a mild, tear-free baby soap that won't irritate your baby's skin. Though some people like to use baby shampoo for their baby's hair, it's perfectly fine to use regular soap on your baby's head; many people prefer this because it won't dry out your baby's scalp.  Here's how you wash your baby:  Use your hand or a gentle washcloth and wash your baby from top to bottom both on its front and back. Wash the baby's scalp with a soapy and wet cloth. If you'd like to use shampoo, you can do that, but it's really not necessary. To use shampoo, just pour a dime-sized amount of tear free shampoo onto your hands, lather the shampoo into your hands and then massage your baby's scalp with it. Gently clean your baby's eyes and face with a cloth that is free of soap. You don't want to get soap in your baby's eyes. Give your baby's genitals a regular washing. There's no need to be extra thorough. If any mucus is stuck around your baby's nose or eyes, dab at it a few times before wiping it off. Once you've washed your baby with soap, you can wash your baby with the bathwater. Either pour clean water over your baby with your hands, or use a pitcher to pour water over...

Before you reuse your pill bottle, heat up some water to boiling, pour it in the bottle, and wait 60 seconds.  Peel the label off, then rinse and dry the empty pill bottle before using it. Many people keep loose items like paper clips, thumb tacks, and so on in their desk drawers.  But these items can be hard to find unless they are collected properly.  Empty pill bottles offer a great solution to storing these office supplies.  If you wish, you could label the top of each empty pill bottle with permanent marker to indicate what is in it. Stick a spare key in the pill container.  Plant it in the lawn near the back of your house or somewhere out of the way.  Don’t bury it too deeply.  The white top of the pill bottle should be parallel with the surface of the ground.  Place a fist-sized rock over the pill bottle in a location where it would not seem out of place.  This will allow you to hide a spare key outside your home.  In the event you’re locked out, you can get back in by using this key. Hiding the key in the pill bottle protects it from rain, which could cause it to rust. Bobby pins, hair ties, and other small fashion accessories are often difficult to store properly, since they get lost in regular drawers and storage containers.  Empty pill bottles make perfect containers for these items.  Use one for bobby pins, another for earrings, and so on.  If you wanted, you could tape a label on each so you know what’s inside.  If you have a taller empty pill bottle, you could store your eyeliner and makeup brushes in it. Cotton swabs are great for cleaning small tubes and fine objects.  But their small size also makes them hard to store.

You can just leave the pill bottle on your bathroom counter and recycle the lid, or place it somewhere for safekeeping (in the event...

Take a deep breath and go for it. Before you get into details, though, keep in mind that your parents have no idea what you are about to say. Be reassuring. Let them know that you are not in immediate danger.  Be clear that you are not in more serious trouble. They will probably be relieved to hear that you haven't committed a crime, for example, and are not on academic probation. Say something to the effect of, “Before you get too worried, just know that I'm not in any kind of danger or serious trouble.” This reassurance can work to your advantage. For a worried parent, smoking may be a minor concern. Don't mince words. Tell your parents that you smoke and that you want them to know because you're concerned for yourself and for their opinion.  Consider something to the point, i.e. “Dad, all I want to tell you is that I smoke” or “Mom, I'm sorry but I smoke.” If your parents are sensitive about smoking, adding an apology might soften a negative reaction: “I know how you feel about cigarettes and I'm really sorry. It just sort of happened. I feel like I've disappointed you.” Keep things frank with your parents during the conversation. Don't lie about when you started or about how much you smoke, if they ask. Give an honest explanation so that they can understand the situation.  Offer details. Explain when and how you started smoking and how much you smoke. For instance, “Well, it started last spring when I was really stressed out. I got a pack from the corner store – they didn't card me. But now I'm up to half a pack a day and it's starting to get out of hand.” Speak calmly. Use a concerned tone and look your parents in the eye. Try not to sound defiant or argumentative. Your parents might be supportive. On the other hand, they might be disappointed, preachy, angry, or all at the same time. Still, listen to what they have to say even if you disagree. Remain respectful.  Let your news sink in and give your parents time to think and react. Wait for them to make the next move and let them speak their minds. Try...

Aloe vera is well-known for soothing and moisturizing damaged skin, but it can provide the same benefits to your hair as well. You will need:  Plain, full-fat yogurt (Greek or standard) – 3 tbsp Aloe vera – 4 tbsp Olive oil – 2 tbsp Mix these ingredients together, then rub them into your hair just like you would with  conditioner. Let them sit in your hair for half an hour. Rinse without shampooing for glossy, shiny hair. Egg whites are another wonderful remedy for dry hair. They are cheap and can add enough moisture to damaged hair to make it much easier to style and manage. You will need:  One egg Water – 3 tbsp Separate the white of the egg from its yolk. Place it in a small mixing bowl. Add the water and blend well. Apply all over your hair. Wait for 30 minutes before washing. You’ll be surprised by your hair's new shine. Egg mixed with full-fat yogurt can be used to make a great protective "mask" that will add moisture back to dry hair. For this recipe, you'll use whole eggs, rather than whites. You will need:  Two eggs Plain, full-fat yogurt (Greek or standard) – 2 tbsp Beat the eggs in a medium-sized bowl. Add the yogurt and mix. You’ll end up with a creamy, smooth paste. Rub this throughout your hair. Leave on for at least 20 minutes before washing with cold water. This is an excellent way to get lustrous hair in minutes. You will also love the smell of your hair once it’s dry. You will need:  Honey – 2 tbsp Rice milk – 1 cup Blend the ingredients together with the help of a spoon. Spread the mixture over your hair and allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off. Though it may not seem like it, vinegar can be a sure-fire ticket for super-soft and shiny hair. You will need:  Vinegar – 1 tbsp Pour the vinegar in your hair as you wash it the next time you’re in the shower. Rinse well and shampoo as normal. This will help get the smell out.

If you want to move on, you should have a plan. Research, and, if possible, visit new destinations you might be interested in settling in. Consider what career and educational choices might be necessary to make it to where you want to be. Set a plan to reach those goals.  College is often a great opportunity to settle in a new town. Consider what colleges are around destinations you are interested in. Research what grades and test scores you will need to be accepted. Generally, more desirable destinations are expensive. To afford life in a big, interesting city, you might need a better job and more qualifications. Research what the major industries in your town of choice are and what qualifications are necessary to get a job in those industries. In the long run, a job can give you the the work experience and the money necessary to move away to a new destination. But, money can also make even a small town more interesting. Since you will be busy, you won’t be as bored. You can use your new found resources to buy a car and commute somewhere with more entertainment options. You can even save up for a vacation. A boring town has few distractions to keep you from self-improvement. If you are young, use this as an opportunity to work hard to get into a good college. In the long run, this can take you some place more interesting.  Keep your grades up. This will be important for ultimately establishing yourself elsewhere. Get involved in extracurricular activities. Being involved in sports and clubs will not only keep you occupied, it will help you get into college. Develop your skills. If you dream of living in Paris, France, study French. If you dream of being the next Bollywood star, you will need to learn dramatic skills, singing, dancing, and so on.

Determine a goal for the club. Write a mission statement. Make long-term goals for the club.

Look for working tunnels. Identify exploratory and drop tunnels. Break the tunnels open.

Car clubs can either focus on one car brand or model, or they can be all-inclusive for anyone who is passionate about cars. It is good to decide what you want the focus to be so that you and the people who join can get the most out of the club.  Whether you focus on one type of car or keep it open will have some bearing on the goal and mission of the club. A club focused on one car might mean your members have more in common, but an open group will most likely draw more people to want to join. You might start the club with one intention in mind, but as the club progresses you may decide that you want to shift the focus in a new direction. This is perfectly fine if it serves your members well. Your club will only grow and be successful if you have an idea of what the purpose is. It is good to write down something specific which briefly outlines what your club is about.  For example, you might say, “Our club will encourage members to perform preventive maintenance, help members build friendships, and promote responsible driving.” You may want to make new members officially accept the mission statement in some way, perhaps by signing a membership agreement. You can write up a draft of this mission statement on your own, but you can also ask others for input as new people join the club. Goals could range from reaching a certain number of members to growing into a non-profit or business. Set goals that are specific and that you can easily tell once they have been accomplished. You might even have individual members set personal goals for what they hope to get out of the club. Other examples of goals are host five car-themed charity events in the next year, have all members gain car maintenance or detailing certifications, and make a cross country road trip during the summer.

TL;DR in English: Determine a focus for the club. Write a mission statement. Make long-term goals for the club.

In an infested home, you will be able to find mud-like tunnels extending from the ground, up your concrete or stone foundation and to a wooden structure. These tunnels are usually the size of a pen, but they can also be slightly larger or smaller.  If your home's foundation is made of hollow concrete blocks, you might not be able to see the termite tunnels. You'll need to look for the tunnels above the foundation instead. You may also be able to find tunnels on your floor joists, sill plates, support piers, and slabs, for example. Exploratory or migratory tunnels can be found rising up from the soil but do not connect to wooden structures. Additionally, in an infested home, you can find drop tubes extending from a wooden structure back to the soil. When you identify mud tunnels, use a pocketknife to break open the tubes. If the tubes are active, you may be able to see worker termites. Worker termites are small and appear white or translucent. However, the absence of these termites does not mean that you do not have an infestation — the termites may have just moved on to somewhere else. If the tunnel is rebuilt after a few days, then this is a sure sign that you have an infestation.

Design the top of the gate. Install hinges and attach the gate to the fence. Install a gravity latch. Seal the wood. Use your gate.

If you want to find new friends, you’ll need to start by finding new people to be friends with.  Clubs are a great option because they provide a structured environment for you to interact in and can expose you to people with whom you already have something in common. Depending on your interests, you can consider joining a service-oriented club, a language club, a gaming club, a literary magazine, etc. Being on a team provides built-in camaraderie and gives you frequent and structured opportunities to hang out with and talk to the same people.  If you’re unsure of your sporting ability, try joining a recreational league. They’re more casual and less competitive. Also, recruiters may appreciate the fact that you have taken the initiative to learn a sport and then try out  (if you want to make a team). If you have some athletic ability, look for a team sport where that ability will be most appreciated. If you’re a good runner, for example, consider joining a soccer, lacrosse, or cross-country team. If your skills are more academic than physical, join the debate team, Model UN, Scholars Club or similar. There is a whole new world you may be missing full of intelligent high schoolers. Electives are another excellent opportunity to collaborate with people who share a particular interest.  Electives like journalism, yearbook, and theater all offer the chance to get to know new people while collaborating to produce something tangible. Many electives also involve staying after school, which may on the surface not seem that great, but staying after school with a group of people allows you to get to know each other in a more relaxed setting, away from the daily monotony of school, and to build camaraderie. Both working and volunteering are good for your resume and for your social group.  Volunteering can be a great way to meet people from different backgrounds and age groups. Look for local volunteering clubs on campus, or check out different volunteer organizations in your town. Working will expose you to people you...

TL;DR in English: Join a club. Join an academic or athletic team. Take elective courses. Volunteer or get a job. Go to social events. Be approachable. Start with people you already know. Make use of social-networking.

Most people like to take a little time to design the top of the gate and add a little decoration to it, using a jigsaw. If you don't want to take the time to, it's not necessary, but it's a good way to make the fence look nice. Generally, a beveled edge, an imprint of your last name, or other little decorative markers are popular. To start, draw an arc across the top of the fence using a string and a pencil, filling it with decorative curves according to your taste. If you're a woodworker, feel free to get fancy with it. Use the jig to cut along your pattern. Put the gate into place, supporting it on the bottom with a 2x4 (1.5 inch off ground). Use a pencil to mark where the hinge should go on the post, and then put the gate down. Predrill where the screws will go. Prop up the gate and screw the hinges into the gate and attach the hinges to the post. Most easy-to-use fences will use a gravity latch, which you can install after you've hung the fence. Mark where the screws will go with a pencil, then drill pilot holes and install the latch. Get the fit first before you put any finish on the gate. Try to hit every exposed surface with your sealer, using a paintbrush or garden sprayer to apply. Most home retailers sell pads that are basically a sponge on a stick that you can use to spread it around, if necessary. Try to cover the whole surface evenly, making sure you hit the bottoms of the planks, which tend to absorb more water than the face grains. This is the area most likely to rot or become discolored. Let dry for a couple hours in dry climates or a day in more humid climates. After you finish sealing the wood and have given it plenty of time to dry, your gate is ready to use! Open and close it to test it out.

Use your brainstorming ideas to fill in your outline. Remember to explain the “why. Come up with a title. Take a break. Review your essay.

This problem has more than one unknown value, so its equation will have multiple variables. This means you cannot solve for a specific numerical value of a variable. Instead, you will solve to find an equation that describes a variable. Robyn and Billy run a lemonade stand. They are giving all the money that they make to a cat shelter. They will combine their profits from selling lemonade with their tips. They sell cups of lemonade for 75 cents. Their mom and dad have agreed to double whatever amount they receive in tips. Write an equation that describes the amount of money Robyn and Billy will give to the shelter. You are asked to find how much money Robyn and Billy will give to the cat shelter. You know that Robyn and Billy will make money from selling cups of lemonade and from getting tips. You know that they will sell each cup for 75 cents. You also know that their mom and dad will double the amount they make in tips. You don’t know how many cups of lemonade they sell, or how much tip money they get. Since you have three unknowns, you will have three variables. Let x{\displaystyle x} equal the amount of money they will give to the shelter. Let c{\displaystyle c} equal the number of cups they sell. Let t{\displaystyle t} equal the number of dollars they make in tips. Since they will “combine” their profits and tips, you know addition will be involved. Since their mom and dad will “double” their tips, you know you need to multiply their tips by a factor of 2. Since you are writing an equation that describes the amount of money they will give to the shelter, the variable x{\displaystyle x} will be alone on one side of the equation.  Since you are combining their profits and tips, you will be adding two terms. So, x = __ + __. The first term will be equal to their profits. Since they make $0.75 for every cup of lemonade they sell, their profits are equal to .75c{\displaystyle .75c}. So, x=.75c+??{\displaystyle x=.75c\;+\;??}. The second term will be equal to their tips. Since their parents are doubling their...

Once you’ve outlined your essay, it should be fairly simple to find evidence for your arguments. Look at the lists and diagrams you generated to help you find the evidence for your comparisons and contrasts. If you are having trouble finding evidence to support your argument, go back to your original texts and try the brainstorming process again. It could be that your argument is evolving past where it started, which is good! You just need to go back and look for further evidence. ” A common error many writers make is to let the comparisons and contrasts “speak for themselves,” rather than explaining why it’s helpful or important to put them together. Don’t just provide a list of “ways Topic A and Topic B are similar and different.” In your body paragraphs as well as your conclusion, remind your readers of the significance of your evidence and argument. For example, in a body paragraph about the quality of ingredients in frozen vs. homemade pizza, you could close with an assertion like this: “Because you actively control the quality of the ingredients in pizza you make at home, it can be healthier for you than frozen pizza. It can also let you express your imagination. Pineapple and peanut butter pizza? Go for it! Pickles and parmesan? Do it! Using your own ingredients lets you have fun with your food.” This type of comment helps your reader understand why the ability to choose your own ingredients makes homemade pizza better. “Essay Number One” may say exactly what the paper is, but it’s not going to win any points for style. A good essay title will preview something about the paper’s argument or topic. Depending on your audience and the situation, you may make a joke or a pun, ask a question, or provide a summary of your main point. One of the most common mistakes student writers make is to not give themselves enough time to take a step back from their essays for a day or two. Start early so that you can let your finished draft sit for a day, or at least a few hours. Then, come back to it with fresh eyes....

Portion control is a key part of losing weight. Using bigger dishes can make you overindulge. Instead, eat your meals from smaller plates and bowls. A full, small plate tricks your brain into thinking you are getting a larger portion than if you have the same sized serving on a bigger plate. Invest in white plates, which can also trick you into eating less. Some dish sizes that can help you lose weight include:  8-inch salad plates 8-12 ounce soup/ salad bowls Tall, thin drinking glasses Small serving bowls and spoons 8-10 ounce mugs for hot beverages If you’re not using measuring cups to serve a specific portion size, you can also get serving utensils in pre-measured sizes. This can make serving the correct amount of food for weight loss easier. Keep in mind that in addition to serving spoons, you can also get gadgets such as ladles in specific sizes. A ½ cup ladle can help you easily figure out how many calories you’re getting in a serving without going overboard on portion size. For example, 2 ladles of split pea soup, which is 1 cup, has 180 calories in it. Some things you make may require weighing your food. Getting a kitchen scale can help you get portion sizes right and cut calories. It can also help you learn to eyeball portion sizes in restaurants. A digital kitchen scale is your best choice for getting the most accurate food weights. Recognize that a digital scale can help you avoid calorie creep. The difference between a 6 ounce and 7½ ounce potato is 30 calories. If you add this and other small amounts up over the course of the day, it could cut 500 or more calories.

Don’t be afraid to back out of a kiss. If you’re not sure whether you’re ready to back out of a kiss, consider asking your partner to back out of it. If you’re not sure whether you’re ready to back out of a kiss, consider

Gently pull away. Give yourself time to process your feelings. Verbalize your response. Reciprocate the kiss, if desired. Set boundaries for the future.

Don’t worry if it’s organized or not. This is only about brainstorming, not a to-do list. Take an hour or so, and jot down everything you have to do each day (and everything you don’t do but should be doing). If it’s difficult to think of everything, carry around a small notebook, and write down your activities throughout the day. When you first start, no activity is considered too small. If it’s something you need to do, it’s something you need to do. When you’re creating a timetable for the first time, it’s better to put everything in and edit it later, if need be. If you have to walk your dog in the morning and evening, then jot that down. What tasks do you need to do to make sure you eat well? Which tasks do you need to complete each day in order to get to work? What do you need to do to make sure your daughter is picked up from school? You’ll probably be surprised at how many small tasks need to be taken care of in order to achieve your bigger responsibilities. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. A timetable will help you to identify areas where you’re not getting much back in return and that you can work on eliminating. If you find that you have little or no discretionary time available, re-evaluate the tasks to see if they are absolutely necessary. You may find that some responsibilities can be tackled in a more efficient way or delegated. If you find yourself at the stove more often than you’d like, think about asking a neighbor if he or she wants to share cooking duties. The two of you figure out a few dishes you both like and then trade in cooking them one or two days a week.

TL;DR in English: Prepare a list of what you need to do on a daily basis. Write down the big tasks and the little ones. Ask yourself questions related to your activities. Analyze your list.

Even if you enjoy the kiss your sweetheart stole from you, it can still be a good idea to back out of it and give yourself a chance to breathe. Doing so ensures that whatever reaction you have will be an honest one, rather than one caused by getting swept up in the moment.  Don’t be afraid of “ruining the moment” by pulling away from a kiss. If you maintain physical closeness while preventing your partner from kissing you again, the action may actually increase feelings of desire in both of you.  On the other hand, breaking physical contact completely would give you a better chance to evaluate your thoughts and feelings, which can be important if you aren’t yet certain about your feelings regarding the stolen kiss. This is ultimately more important than the risk of ruining this one particular moment. Depending on the circumstances, this may only take a few moments or it may take a few hours to days. It’s important to not rush yourself. Honestly ask yourself how you feel about the kiss—i.e. whether you enjoyed it or not—and determine if you feel that it was acceptable behavior for your relationship.  If you already have a fairly intimate relationship, it may not take much time to process your thoughts. Your gut may instinctively know that you do or don’t like the kiss. If your relationship is still somewhat new, you may need more time to think things through. Let your partner know that in a calm yet straightforward manner: “Wow, I wasn’t expecting that. Can you give me some time to figure out how that makes me feel? My mind is spinning right now.” Regardless of whether your reaction is favorable or unfavorable, it’s probably a good idea to give your sweetheart a verbal response to the kiss. Use your best judgment to determine if this response should be brief or lengthy.  If you liked the kiss and figured that out quickly, brief confirmation is probably all you’ll need to give: “That was amazing!” If you took a little longer to work out or feelings or if you don’t feel comfortable with stolen/surprise kisses,...

Purchase an enzyme waste removal product. Follow the instructions on the container.

Like any puzzle, there are pieces. Learning how to recognize the numbers and symbols for the placeholders that they are makes the solution much easier to grasp. Try to find the missing number in a problem where the final answer is given. For example: 1+x=9{\displaystyle 1+x=9}. The missing number is 8, because 1 plus 8 equals 9. Pretty simple, right? This is basic algebra. When solving an algebraic problem, you must remember that if you alter one side of the equation in any way, you must do the exact same thing to the other side of the equation. If you add, subtract, multiply, or divide, you must perform the same operation to the opposite side. For example, to solve x+3=2x−1{\displaystyle x+3=2x-1}, you first need to subtract x{\displaystyle x} from both sides of the equation, then add 1 to both sides of the equation:  x+3−x=2x−1−x{\displaystyle x+3-x=2x-1-x}3=x−1{\displaystyle 3=x-1}3+1=x−1+1{\displaystyle 3+1=x-1+1}4=x{\displaystyle 4=x} When given an algebraic expression, you will notice that there are constants and variables. A constant is any number given, while a variable is a letter that represents an unknown number.  To isolate the variable, add or subtract terms to get the variable on one side. If the variable has a coefficient, divide both sides by that coefficient to get the variable alone. For example, to solve 6y+6=48{\displaystyle 6y+6=48}, you first need to subtract 6 from both sides, then divide by 6:  6y+6−6=48−6{\displaystyle 6y+6-6=48-6}6y=42{\displaystyle 6y=42}6y6=426{\displaystyle {\frac {6y}{6}}={\frac {42}{6}}}y=7{\displaystyle y=7} If you are solving for a variable that is squared, you will need to take the square root of it to solve the problem. Conversely, If the variable is a square root, then you will need to square it to solve the problem. Remember that whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other side.  For example, to solve x=9{\displaystyle {\sqrt {x}}=9}, you need to square both sides of the equation:  (x)2=92{\displaystyle ({\sqrt...

TL;DR in English: Recognize that algebra is just like solving a puzzle. Perform operations on both sides of the equation. Isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Take the root of the number to cancel an exponent. Combine like terms. Practice with more complex problems. Check your answers.

Look for a product that contains a mixture of enzymes that liquify waste materials. These enzymes are used in septic systems to break down waste.  Products of this sort can be usually be purchased at home improvement stores in or near the plumbing aisle. Enzyme waste removal is preferable to using a drain-clearing chemical because it will not harm your pipes or the environment.  This method will only work on organic waste, not toys or other objects. Pour the recommended amount of the enzyme product into the toilet bowl. You will typically be instructed to wait overnight for the enzymes to go to work on the clog. The toilet should drain once the clog has cleared.

Follow any instructions for pre-washing that come with your dye. Usually, you will need to put the clothes through the washing machine on a warm, gentle cycle using mild detergent.  Make sure that all stains are removed before proceeding. You do not need to dry your clothes after washing them. They actually need to be wet for the dyeing process. Use the hottest water possible, as long as it is safe to use with the type of fabric you are dyeing. Set the washing machine to fill with enough water for a small load. If you fill the machine all the way, you will dilute the dye too much and end up with a faded garment. Do not add the clothes yet. By adding the dye to the machine as it fills with water, you do not need to stir it. The rapid flow of water into the basin will stir the dye in. Follow package instructions for how much dye to use. You will usually use a full package of powder dye or half a bottle of liquid dye. If you are dyeing cotton or linen, add 1 cup (273 g) of salt to the bath. If you are dyeing silk or nylon, add 1 cup (200 mL) of white vinegar to the bath. The fixative will help the dye adhere to the fibers. Once your washing machine has finished filling, add your clothes. Reset the washing cycle so that it takes a full 30 minutes to complete. Set the machine to a longer cycle if you want to produce a stronger color.{greenbox: Tip: The clothes should be wet before you add them to the washing machine dye bath. Otherwise, the color will not set correctly.}} Let the clothes go through a full rinse cycle in your washing machine to strain out some of the excess dye. Warm water will draw out the excess dye more readily than cold water. Wash the clothes in a normal cycle with cold water and mild detergent. The cold water will set the dye. Meanwhile, this wash cycle will clean the clothes after they have soaked in the dye bath and fixative.  Do not wash any other clothes with the dyed garments. Dry the clothes in a dryer or by hanging them on a drying rack. After you remove your dyed clothes from the...

TL;DR in English: Wash your clothes before dyeing them. Fill your washing machine with hot water. Pour the dye into the water as the washing machine fills. Add a fixative to the dye bath.

Purchase pellets or canned turtle food at your pet supply store. Most turtles kept as pets need both animal protein and veggies. Store-bought food will provide most your turtle's nutrition, but you should also supplement its diet to ensure it stays healthy. Buy frozen and live guppies or minnows, worms, grasshoppers, and crickets. Additionally, chop up veggies, such as kale, lettuce, dandelion, and carrots, and add them to your turtle's food.  Swap up what you feed your turtle to keep its meals interesting. You could feed it store-bought food 1 to 2 times a week and homemade meals another 1 to 2 times per week. Live fish and insects can provide mental stimulation. To prevent choking, cut up veggies into bite-size pieces smaller than your turtle's beak. Most turtle species commonly kept as pets need to be feed every other day, but check with the breeder or pet store to be sure. Mornings are good feeding times, since turtles are more active earlier in the day. Determining the right amount of food is a little tricky and isn't an exact science.  As a rule of thumb, give your turtle the amount of food that it can eat in 5 minutes. Observe it when you first feed it to gauge the right amount. Turtles are opportunistic eaters, and they're prone to overeating if they have an unlimited supply of food.  If you have an aquatic turtle, put its food directly in the water. Aquatic turtles can't swallow food unless it's in the water. After 5 minutes, scoop out any extra food with a net to help keep the water clean.  Feed a box turtle with a food bowl, and remove the bowl after about 5 minutes. You can find powdered calcium carbonate online and at pet stores. Sprinkle a pinch onto your turtle's food 1 to 2 times a week to ensure it meets its calcium requirement.  Turtles need lots of calcium to keep their bony shells strong. If have an aquatic turtle, you can also keep a block of calcium carbonate in the water for it to chew.

Be careful about what you say. Don't be afraid to say things that are not true.

Talk to a doctor. Look for a family connection. Have genetic testing.

It is especially important to avoid groups which target co-workers and management: negativity drains you of energy and blocks happiness and positive thoughts. Work on being friendly with everyone instead of joining a group of just three or four people and alienating everyone else. You don't want to join a clique and then find that the people in it turn on you. Instead, try to be on good terms with everyone without becoming stuck in one social circle; your happiness will grow as a result. Though you may feel temporary satisfaction when you're "in" with a group of people, in the long run, it will lead to drama you don't want. It's important to speak up when you think that something in your workplace can be improved. However, it's equally important to point out when your coworkers or company is doing something right. If you thought everything at your workplace was done incorrectly, then you wouldn't be working there, would you? Make sure to speak up to give praise when it's needed so that you stay upbeat and make yourself aware of all the good things your job has to offer. If you're only complaining and being a negative Nancy all the time, then you'll get a bad reputation. One main way to be happy in your workplace is to make friends with your colleagues, so you want to maintain a good reputation. Studies show that one of the best ways to be almost as happy at work as you are away from work is to be friends with your coworkers. Though you may feel like you have enough friends, you should get to know your coworkers so that you're excited to see them every day and that you feel more connected in the workplace. You should give your coworkers your time, make small talk with them, and work on building closer relationships. Though you can't be best friends with everyone, you should seek friendships with the people who really matter to you.   Find opportunities to socialize at your workplace. Go grab coffee or hang out in the break room with your coworkers, or even step out for lunch with them. Try to isolate yourself...

TL;DR in English: Steer clear of cliques. Offer praise as well as criticism. Be friends with your coworkers. Watch your body language. Avoid negative people at all costs. Don't overextend yourself.

If you think that you or a loved one might have EDS, talk about your concerns with a physician. Your regular doctor may be able to advise you but will more likely refer you to a specialist in genetic diseases. Expect a series of questions about medical and family histories, a thorough exam, and a blood test.  Set up an appointment. Before you see the doctor, think about what symptoms you have seen or experienced. The doctor may ask if your or your loved one’s joints are overly flexible, if the skin is stretchy, or if the skin heals poorly. She will also probably ask about any medications the patient is taking. Since EDS is a genetic syndrome, it gets passed down in families. This means that you or a loved one is more likely to have the mutations if a close family member had them, as well. Think carefully and be prepared to answer questions about your family history.  Did any of your or your loved one’s relatives have a diagnosed case of EDS? Or, did they have symptoms like the ones you’re seeing? Do you know of any relatives who died suddenly from a ruptured blood vessel or organ? Recall that this is one of the most serious complications of vascular EDS and may indicate an undiagnosed case. Your doctor will try to diagnose by type, finding the EDS subtype that most closely matches the patient’s symptoms. Usually a specialist can make a diagnosis on the basis of the skin, joints, and a family history. However, they can also use genetic tests to confirm EDS or the specific subtype that is present. A DNA test can pinpoint the problem and show the specific genes that are mutated.  Genetic testing can be done to confirm Vascular, kyphoscoliosis, Arthrochalasia, Dermatosparaxis, and sometimes Classical EDS. For testing, expect to be referred to a clinical geneticist or genetic counselor. You’ll then give a sample of either blood, saliva, or skin for laboratory testing. Genetic tests are not always 100% accurate. Some people recommend that they be done conservatively to confirm rather than rule out a diagnosis.

As independent contractors, Uber drivers' ability to make money comes from the amount of work they're able to secure during a shift. Making your driver wait undermines their ability to earn their wage and may make them more reluctant to give you a 5-star rating. Limit the amount of time you make your driver wait by being ready to hop in the car as soon as they arrive at your location.  Try to gather your belongings before requesting the Uber. When Uber sends you a notification that your driver is approaching, make your way to the pickup location (assuming that the location is the street outside of your address - if it's farther away than this, plan accordingly so that you can be there as soon as your driver arrives). Some Uber drivers work shifts of up to 19 hours at a time. Remember that any job comes with stresses that can be intense, and that your driver will appreciate you treating them with kindness and consideration even if they're working more manageable schedules than this.  Practice patience with your driver by keeping in mind that they're doing their best to get you to your destination as quickly and as comfortably as possible. If you have concerns with your driver's quality of service, try to bring them up non-confrontationally, or wait until the end of your journey to report them to Uber instead of bringing them up directly. Uber allows you to tip through the app, but you can give your driver a cash tip if you'd like. Consider carrying cash during your Uber rides to give your driver after pleasant service, and they will likely reciprocate by giving you a high star rating. Think of it as a "five-for-five" deal. Uber drivers offer up a valuable asset of their private property to service rides to customers. Remember that an Uber driver's car is different from a train or bus in this sense, and the person who uses the vehicle the most is the same person who has to maintain it. When riding in an Uber car, adopt a "leave no trace" policy whereby you commit to leaving the car in as good of a state as it...

Having hands-on experience with wedding planning will give you practical knowledge that you can use for your business.  You’re likely to get references from colleagues and suggestions for clients as well. This will supplement any formal knowledge you have and give you practical experience working in the field.  Your boss can also act as a reference for you with potential clients. Internships are often unpaid. The experience you gain will be more valuable than a paycheck. Your boss could wind up a long-term mentor as you rise through the profession. It might be useful to take a job with a smaller company at first. This will give you the chance to work in all aspects of wedding planning and greatly increase your knowledge. This will give you the valuable hands-on experience you need -- to say nothing of the chance to prospect for clients at the same time.  Use these friends and family members as references.  Be sure to take photos of any event you work on for your portfolio and future marketing efforts. Use these images on your website or in brochures. Having a list of people whom you can ask questions, draw upon for services, or who are interested in hiring you will put your business on the path to success even in its infancy.  You can meet appropriate people almost anywhere, especially at industry conferences, wedding expos, vendor shops, and, of course, at weddings. Never stop practicing interpersonal skills as you develop your network.

TL;DR in English: Gather experience as a wedding planner. Intern with a wedding planner or event-planning firm. Plan events for friends and family at no cost. Network with other wedding planners and potential clients and vendors.

A dehydrated dog with the energy to do so will typically seek water to drink. If your dog is dehydrated, you may notice unusual behavior, such as restlessness or pacing, as if looking for water.  Your dog may repeatedly lick its lips and/or have an anxious facial expression if it is unable to find enough water.  Some dehydrated dogs will also lie with their nose resting against their water bowl. The classic dehydration test that you've probably seen the vet do at the animal clinic is lifting the dog's scruff. What this test actually measures is the skin's elastic recoil, which decreases with dehydration. To do this test yourself, take the following steps:  Locate the dog's scruff. This is the loose skin over the dog's shoulders or at the back of its neck. Elevate the scruff. Grasp the skin and gently raise it two to three inches above the dog's back in a vertical direction. Release the scruff and observe. Fully hydrated skin springs back instantaneously. When dehydration is present, the skin is less elastic, which means it will not fall back as quickly. If the skin takes more than two seconds to return to normal, the dog is dehydrated. Gums are a good indicator of early dehydration. Normal gums are moist and shiny, much like our own. Dehydrated animals often have dry or tacky feeling gums, because they produce less saliva. Be aware that anxious or frightened animals may also have dry gums. Make sure your dog is relaxed when you check the gums or you can be misled. If a dog does not take in enough water, its body will automatically take steps to preserve fluid. In this situation, it either will not urinate because its bladder is empty, or the urine it produces will be very concentrated. Concentrated urine is a deep yellow color.  This occurs because the dog's kidneys are working hard to recycle water in the body and hold onto it.  Take note if your dog seems to be urinating less than usual or if its urine is an unusual color. If your dog seems healthy and there is a simple explanation for your dog's condition,...

Cilantro should be pruned often to encourage new growth. Older, larger cilantro leaves also tend to be more bitter in flavor, making the herb less desirable if it is left to grow out. When your cilantro plant reaches 6 inches (15 cm), start trimming away stems to use as needed.  Add fresh cilantro to salads, soups, salsa, guacamole, and other dishes. It will usually take 60-75 days after planting for your cilantro to be this height. Use your thumb and forefinger to grasp a stem at its outermost leaves. Trace downwards until your reach a new growth coming in underneath it. Pinch about 0.4 inches (1.0 cm) above the new growth to remove the stem and leaves above it. If you prefer, use scissors to cut the piece instead of pinching it. Avoid pulling off stems, which could damage the remaining plant. Wrap newly picked cilantro stems or leaves in a clean plastic bag. Store the bag in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator. Cilantro will stay fresh and flavorful for up to a week.

Clean the tang on both sides to remove any oils or dirt. Scuff the tang on both sides to give the epoxy some texture to stick to. Prepare the epoxy glue according to the instructions. Glue the first scale to the tang with the prepared epoxy. Insert the pins and glue the second scale.

Get everyone’s attention. Open with a strong “hook. Provide a bit of background. Include a central story. Emphasize sensory elements. Keep it positive. Include the audience. Be sincere. Conclude with a wish and your thanks.

You can use window cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Simply wipe the tang down with your desired solution, and let it dry. Be careful not to handle the tang with your bare hands after this.  Rubbing alcohol will work the best, but you can use window cleaner too. You don't have to clean the wood scales. The wood is porous and textured, so it will take the epoxy readily. You can do this with a metal file or even a screw. You don't have to be precise for this step, but you should wipe the surface down once you are done.  If the scales are smooth on the marked sides, it would be a good idea to scuff them as well. You can also roughly sand the scales with 120-grit sandpaper. Make sure that you are only sanding the sides that will be touching the tang. Each brand of epoxy glue is different, but in most cases, you will need to mix equal amounts of "Part A" and "Part B" in a plastic, disposable cup. Work quickly. Most epoxy glues set within minutes.  Make sure that you are using epoxy glue, and not epoxy resin or coating. Mix the epoxy using a disposable tool, as it will ruin whatever you use to stir it. It would be a good idea to wear some plastic of vinyl gloves too. You can buy epoxy glue in hardware stores. Some craft stores may also sell epoxy glue. Use a disposable knife or paint spatula to spread an even layer of epoxy onto 1 side of the tang and the marked side of the matching scale with epoxy. Press the 2 together. Working quickly, flip the knife over so that you can see the other side of the tang. Insert the pins into the holes. Coat the tang and the marked side of the remaining scale, and press them together.  You may have to hammer the second scale into place to ensure a tight fit. If you want to, you can coat the pins with epoxy too. This will make the bond even stronger. Make sure that you are inserting the handle between the pieces of plastic wrap--this way, the excess epoxy won't get everywhere. Close the vise as tightly as possible. After squeezing the 2 halves together, all the excess epoxy will have...

Before you begin to speak you’ll need to get the attention of your audience. It is best to stand up and say something similar to, “I’d like to give a toast.” This announces your intentions and people will look toward you out of curiosity. Remain standing as you start to speak and raise your glass as well. The old practice of tapping your glass with a knife has now gone by the wayside. A series of glass-tapping toasts can quickly get annoying at a big event. Instead, get attention with a confident voice and consistent eye contact. Use a microphone, if one is available. ” Your first line is critically important as this is how you will convince everyone to actively listen to you. Open with a funny or intriguing tidbit about the subject of your toast. Don’t over-promise, but don’t provide too many details at this point either. Make your first few lines about the toastee, not you. Avoid using, “I” or “me/my,” to keep your focus, and that of your audience, on the person or persons of the hour. After your opening sentence, it is a good idea to give 1-2 lines about your background and relationship to the toastee. Keep this information brief, tailored to the event, and humorous. You’ll also want to give your audience enough background so that they will be able to follow any stories that you provide. You might say, "I'm the groom's brother and football-watching buddy." You’ll want to add in at least one, perhaps a few more, fleshed-out stories as the centerpiece of your toast. These stories should be personal, but not intimate or overly embarrassing. They should explain to your audience why the person is worth toasting to begin with.  For example, you might tell the story about the time that you and your brother (the groom) backpacked through Europe. Or, share a story about the person you are toasting and other family members or friends that are in attendance to keep the focus off of yourself. Make your listeners experience the story along with you by replacing boring descriptors with lively ones. The mud in the story...

From the start, you need a strong argument for ending the relationship, so you can make sure you follow through. Get real with yourself and take some time to write out all the reasons this relationship is toxic and needs to end. One of the most important reasons to leave a toxic relationship is because you deserve better. In addition, the relationship may be preventing you from growing, isolating you from others, or becoming borderline or full-on abusive. Go over what you want to say to the person beforehand. This will help you to appear more confident when you have the talk.  You can rehearse in front of a mirror or with a friend. Rehearsing can help you feel more confident when you speak, but keep in mind the conversation may go differently than you rehearsed. Give the person advance notice that you want to have a conversation and ask them when they are available to talk. Depending on how safe you feel, consider reaching out in person, over the phone, or via text. You might say, "Hey, I need to talk to you about something important. Do you have time to get together?" Have a face-to-face discussion with the person, if possible. Set the location based on how you expect the conversation to go. For example, if the person is likely to become angry, have the conversation in a public place. If this is an abusive relationship, have the talk by phone or through video call for your safety. Be direct about what's not working in the relationship and your decision to end it.  You might say something like, “I don't think we're good together. We breakup and makeup all the time and I have started to alienate other people who are close to me. I want to end it.” Another option is to say something like, "Our relationship is not working for me. I've thought it through, and I want to end it." There's a good chance the other person will have quite a mouthful to say. Listen to what they have to say as long as their response is free of insults or threats.  If they try to convince you not to end it or some other tactic, simply...

TL;DR in English: Remind yourself why the relationship must end. Rehearse the conversation. Let the person know you want to talk. Choose where to have the talk. Be clear and straightforward about what you want. Hear the other person out.

Before school begins for the day, make sure you’ve completed all your work and have it ready to go. Before class begins, organize everything you need and prepare yourself mentally and physically to listen and participate.  Have your notebook out, your pencils sharpened — or your laptop fully charged, whatever the case may be. Actively participating — by asking and answering questions, working diligently, and so on — shows that you are trying your best to understand what your teacher is talking about. It also indicates that you are prepared and listening in class.  Don't hesitate to ask questions if you don't understand something. Your teacher will be more than happy to help you. This implies that you want to learn and that you strive to do well in school. However, it is possible to ask too many questions — if you seem to be interfering with class or frustrating your teacher, jot down your questions and bring them up after class or (if available) by email, etc.  Generally speaking, though, it is better to ask too many questions than too few. Constantly falling behind on assignments, homework, and projects does not create a good impression.  But doing your work on schedule — or even a bit ahead of schedule when possible — shows your teacher that you’re giving an honest effort to succeed. Dedicate yourself to turning in assignments on time. Late work can result in punishments, and your teacher won't be happy either. Turning in your first assignment late isn't a good way to make a good first impression.  If you’re having trouble keeping up due to the difficulty of the work or some other factors, talk to your teacher about it immediately. diligently. Work hard in preparation for tests.  If your studying results in A's on every test, great.  But even if your hard work doesn’t achieve those highest marks, your teacher will take notice of (and appreciate) your ongoing effort toward improvement. A very effective method to studying is to study for 20 minutes, rest for 5, and every fifth break should be 20 minutes long....

Bare soil is easily swept away by wind and water, the two main causes of erosion. Plant roots hold the soil together, while their leaves block rain and stop it breaking the soil apart. Turf, ornamental grass, and low, spreading shrubs work best since they cover the soil completely.  If you have any bare ground, try to establish plant cover as soon as possible to limit erosion. If the ground is mostly flat (slope of 3:1 or less), this might be enough to solve the problem. Steep slopes erode faster, so they need more protection. This will weigh down the soil and protect the seeds and young plants underneath from getting washed away. It also slows the absorption of water to reduce runoff. Grass clippings or bark chips work especially well. If you don’t plant anything, keep the soil covered with mulch. You can also add mulch around plants to add another layer of protection or to keep the soil warm. Simply lay the mat over your seeds or young plants. On steep slopes, dig a small trench at the top of the hill first. Lay the top of the mat in the trench, fill it up with soil, then fold the mat back over the top. This helps water run over the top of the mat, where the mat will slow it down, instead of traveling underneath it. Fiber mulch mats or erosion control mats are a layer of mulch held together in a fiber mesh. This structure holds the mulch together in areas where normal mulch would be washed or blown away. Another option for erosion control on steep slopes is a series of rolled up logs or "wattles" made from fibrous material (like straw). Water running down the slope will slow down when it hits the logs, soaking into the soil instead of carrying mud downhill. Put the logs down across the slope, 10 to 25 feet (3–8m) apart. Hold them in place with wooden stakes or sturdy, living plants.  You can plant seeds directly in the logs to protect them while they grow. If you do plant seeds directly into the logs, you should still use stakes to hold the logs in place, at least until the seeds develop sturdy roots that...

to catch her eye. Anytime you’re around the object of your interest, carry yourself in a way that reflects how you wish to be seen. Stand up straight, move with purpose, and speak in a calm, relaxed (yet assertive) tone of voice. A self-assured demeanor will send the message that you’ve got something going for you.  Confidence isn’t the same thing as cockiness. For many people, arrogance is even more off-putting than a lack of self-esteem.  Another positive side effect of confidence is that it makes you more resilient. If it turns out that she’s just not into you, a confident attitude will allow you to rebound and move on without feeling bad about yourself. Like it or not, physical appearance counts for a lot, especially when you don’t know someone very well. Start working out regularly and watching what you eat, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Spending a little extra time putting yourself together before going out could also improve your chances of catching her eye.  It’s crucial to keep up with your basic personal hygiene, as well—shower daily, brush your teeth, style your hair, and don’t forget to wear deodorant, particularly if you’ve been hitting the gym.  Your smile is one of the best weapons you have in your social toolbox. Don’t be afraid to use it. Being a good conversationalist is just as much about being a good listener as it is about having lots of funny or interesting things to say. Keep the discussion centered around her as much as possible to make her feel special. When it’s your turn to talk, say what you have to say, then look for a way to put the spotlight back on her.  Don’t feel like you have to agree with everything she says. In fact, disagreeing tactfully can be a good way to show her that you have a mind of her own and elevate the conversation to the next level.  Forget rehearsing imaginary conversations with the girl you’re trying to impress. A better approach is to stay relaxed and allow yourself to be spontaneous. That way, you’ll be ready for whatever twists and turns...

Turning to your surroundings can be an easy way to start a conversation, and since she already likes you, she probably won’t mind if you start the conversation off this way. Make a comment about your surroundings and then ask her a question about what you just commented on to get the ball rolling. You can use this strategy whether you just met her or if you have known her for a while  Try saying something like, “Check out that guy on the paddleboard! I’ve always wanted to try that, but I’m pretty sure I would fall right off. What about you? Have you ever gone paddleboarding?” Or you might say, “I really like this bar. It’s always pretty chill and the music is good. Plus they have a great happy hour, so that’s a nice bonus. What about you? What do you think of this place?” Discussing your day-to-day activities with a girl who likes you and finding out about hers is another way to keep the conversation going, whether she is an old friend or a new acquaintance. Try giving her a brief recap of your day and then ask what she did so far today. She’ll probably be thrilled that you care enough to ask.  For example, you could say something like, “I have had a crazy day so far. I almost got hit by a car on my way to work, had a presentation to give and I was really nervous, and then went to my HIIT class after work and I dropped my phone and cracked the screen! It’s nice to be out relaxing now. What did you do today?” Remember to keep the conversation light, friendly, and entertaining. Avoid telling the girl anything too personal or that might be a turn-off. Even if she already likes you, it is possible to change her mind by sharing unappealing information about yourself. If you are just getting to know her, ask her about her favorite movies, music, TV shows, books, YouTube channels, video games, hobbies, and other interests. Make sure to share with her what your favorites are as well. If she likes you, she’ll definitely want to know more about you!  For example, you might say something like, “I just saw the Evil Dead...

TL;DR in English: Make small talk about your surroundings. Talk about your day and ask about hers if you’re not sure what to say. Discuss your favorite things to see what you may have in common. Talk about past experiences and goals to learn about her values.

No two bottle warmers are exactly alike, so it is essential that you read the instructions thoroughly before using it.  While the exact specifications and instructions vary from machine to machine, there are some general similarities. Note that many, though not all, bottle warmers can also double as baby food warmers for when your child starts eating solids and cereals. Some bottle warmers warm the bottle in a hot water bath, but most use steam.  Bottle warmers that use a warm water bath work the same, in principle, as a warm water bath you create without a bottle warmer. The bottle of breast milk is immersed directly into the heated water. Bottle warmers that use steam use less water. The water is heated in a separate compartment by a heating element or hot plate, and the steam comes up into the bottle compartment to warm the breast milk. This is a more gradual heating method. Pour tap water into the reservoir up to the bottle warmer's "fill line."  If the warmer has no fill line, check the instructions to determine how much water to use.     Water bath warmers tend to use more water than steam warmers. The water should be changed in between uses for almost all water bath warmers and most steam warmers. Some steam warmers have reservoirs that stay filled until the levels dip too low, at which point a refill sensor light goes off. Secure the bottle of breast milk in the warmer, placing it inside the bottle compartment. The bottle will sit loose in some warmers, while others may require you to "snap" it into place. Follow the instructions to determine how high or low to set the temperature dial, if the warmer has a dial. Press the start button and wait for the appliance to click off. Most bottle warmers have a sensor light that comes on and off to tell you when the warming session is done. Others also make a ring or alarm noise when the process is done.

It is not necessary for your hair to be freshly washed, but if you do wash your hair before styling it, you may find it useful to add some volumizing spray to it before you blow it dry. You can apply some products after blowdrying your hair, so just be sure to follow the instructions of whichever product you choose. With your hands, use your thumbs along the sides of your head to help you separate the top third of your hair from the bottom. Use a clip to hold this section in place. To create the other two sections, simply separate the remaining hair into two halves with your left and right hands. Lay the left section over your left shoulder, and the right section over your right shoulder. It is not necessary to clip these two bottom sections. Starting with one of the two bottom sections, brush the hair with a paddle brush and then spritz the entire length of hair with a heat protectant. Starting at the back of your head and moving toward the front, alternate between curling towards and away from your face. For the pieces of hair that frame your face, you’ll want to curl away from your face. Each curl should look like a little spiral.  Hold each strand on the wand for roughly 20 seconds. It could be slightly less time depending on the quality of your wand and the thickness of your hair. If your hair is fine or damaged, you may want to start at 10 to 15 seconds to see if that works for you. Curling away from your face means pulling your hair away from your face to wrap it around the wand. Curling towards your face means pulling your hair towards your face to wrap it around the wand. If your hair doesn’t hold curls well, as you let the curl slide off the wand, let it fall into the palm of your hand and hold it there until it cools off. Ensure that you cover all of your hair with hairspray. Fold your body over so that your head is upside down and your hair is hanging towards the floor, and then shake your head in a “no” motion as you spray your hair. Run your fingers through your hair gently to mould the curls...

You'll have the easiest time removing the plastic part of the case if you work from the top of the device. You may have to lift a bit to get the plastic over any Power buttons. When you lift the plastic top off, the rest of the case should come off easily. Starting from the corner is the easiest way to begin removing the rubber. The seal will be tight, so you'll need to push with some force. Work your way around the case to remove the rubber. Be careful with the ports, as the rubber port covers can tear easily.
