Run a fine-toothed beard comb or small hairbrush with flexible bristles through your facial hair from cheek to chin. Stroke the hair outward, away from your face, so that it all stands up in one direction. This will give you a better sense of how long your beard actually is and also make it easier to prune without making costly mistakes.  Daily combing is necessary to identify areas that need trimming, prevent tangles, and redistribute natural oils. Keeping your beard brushed out is also a useful way to create the appearance of added volume, since it gets the hairs fluffed up nicely. Glide the head of the trimmer over your face slowly, using light pressure. If your goal is to thin out a bushy beard, use upward strokes, so that the blades of the trimmer cut square across the hairs. If you'd rather preserve more of the bulk you've been so committed to growing, move the trimmer downward in the same direction that the hair lays naturally.  Set the guard to about a 3 initially (which is usually somewhere around 9mm) and switch to a lower setting if you want to go shorter. That way, you can avoid accidentally shaving too much at once.  Beard trimmers offer a more customizable trimming experience because of their ability to cut hair to a consistent length with every pass, unlike scissors, which force you hack away at tufts piece by piece. Start by buzzing both cheeks until you strike the desired balance between volume and tidiness. Once the sides look good, move the trimmer inward and go over your chin and mustache area. Double check that both sections are equally full, and that both halves of your face match. Most men's facial hair tends to be thicker around the goatee, so starting with the cheeks helps ensure that your beard comes out even without having to go shorter on the sides than you'd like. Sideburns are tricky, since they can be treated as either an extension of your beard or your head hair. Assuming that your head hair and facial hair are approximately the same length, you can let what's up top flow...

TL;DR in English: Comb out your beard. Use a beard trimmer to control how much you take off. Work from the outside in. Create transition with your sideburns.

Mind-mapping software and apps are rapidly expanding in their features. There are even some that are free with high capabilities. They allow for real-time virtual collaboration, brainstorming and discussion; map revision by other users; whiteboard, free-form drawing during meetings or presentations; personal use on your cellphone; management of complex projects from the ground up, scheduling, etc.  They range from  simple-to-use to probably requires training to realize the program’s potential. A couple of the top-rated programs are free. Others range from $4.99/month on up depending upon the features. They’re easy to modify, update and are orderly in appearance. You can often upload your own images. Generally, you can download them as a PDF, if not in a number of other formats. Their features vary, which can limit the free-flowing nature of mind mapping. So, for example, one program might allow you to insert an arrow from one sub-category to another while another doesn’t offer this option. The ability to make those types of visual links is quite important in mind mapping.  Most don’t allow you to draw with anything other than your mouse. They can also take time to learn and be expensive. and handwriting enhances cognition and memory. Test the waters by creating mind maps in free software programs. This will give you a baseline idea of their capabilities. It will also help you determine if you think they’re useful enough to upgrade to those that aren’t free but offer more functions. Also read reviews online to see which programs people like for what types of issues. One program or app might be great for collaborating with co-workers but not very useful for keeping track of a project’s progress. Some free mind mapping software you can try includes Coggle, MindMapple, and NovaMind.

Some pain is expected when braces are first put on your teeth. If, however, you are still experiencing intolerable pain after a few weeks, you may want to visit your orthodontist to check in and ask questions. If the pain from your braces is too intense, it is possible that they are too tight. Having tighter braces does not necessarily mean that they will work better or that your teeth will straighten faster.  Ask your orthodontist’s opinion about the tightness of the braces. Sometimes, there are short ends of wires on the braces that will protrude and rub against the inside of your cheek. These can be extremely uncomfortable and cause mouth sores. If you have these, ask your orthodontist to snip the ends off of these wires, and you should feel immediate relief. Your orthodontist might be able to prescribe a stronger dose of ibuprofen for you if regular over-the-counter medications don’t seem to be working. Your orthodontist might also recommend other treatments, such as a bite wafer. This is a product that you bite on for a few minutes several times every hour. The motion of biting helps generate blood circulation in your gums, which can ease pain. Your orthodontist may have recommendations that will help you figure out your specific case and pain management plan. They have worked with many different people and have seen a number of different remedies that have worked for patients.

TL;DR in English: Give your braces a trial period before visiting the orthodontist. Ask your orthodontist to loosen your braces. Have your orthodontist snip protruding wires on your braces. Ask for prescription strength medication or other treatment. Ask for additional strategies for reducing pain or discomfort.

You will create small buns one section at a time.  Beginning with a section near your face will allow you to clearly see what you’re doing.  Work your way backward. Start with a section near the crown of your head.  If you start with a lower section, hair from an upper section is likely to get in your way. The curls will need to dry completely before you undo the buns.  Sleeping on your wet hair is often the best way to do this.  Light blowdrying using a diffuser may also help, but the heat is unlikely to penetrate to the center of the bun.

Read everything you can about atheism, Christianity and religious history. Learn both sides of the coin, both atheist and Christian beliefs, in addition to other religions and belief systems. Morals and values run parallel through many belief systems, allowing for common grounds for discussion in all religions.  There are many resources online that can help you learn about religious systems, including podcasts, and audio and visual classes. Argument and persuasion cannot be effectively built out of thin air. You must understand where your friend is coming from in order to build a bridge between your two belief systems. The Bible is regarded as one of the most influential sources on literature in western culture. It is a great read for narrative merit alone. Even though it is not possible to prepare for every argument you should know some of the more common talking points in Christian apologetics.  These include arguments like the fine-tuned Universe, which argues that our Universe supports life so well and works in such a precise way that it must have been intelligently designed. This argument directly challenges our science-based understanding of the origins of the Universe. Another argument, Pascal’s Wager, is the suggestion that one should live their life under the assumption that God does exist, given that the stakes are skewed. If God does not exist, your life simply ends. However, if God does exist, how you behaved in life determines whether you will be rewarded eternally in Heaven or punished eternally in Hell. This argument, though steeped in logic, raises questions of honesty, morality, and the extent of God's powers. Learn why people believe stories backed by anecdotal evidence. Understanding something about belief as it pertains to psychology will better prepare you for counter-arguments and why you may feel the way you do about your own beliefs.  Urban myths such as Bloody Mary for example have no proof or scientific basis and are believed to be untrue. However, the myth is still passed around...

TL;DR in English: Educate yourself. Read and understand their holy book cover to cover. Learn common arguments leveled by theists. Examine your own myths, urban legends, and superstitions. Study basic physics and biology.

Step inside, close the door, and then position the top piece of weather stripping along the top of your door frame. Loosely nail it into place. Only hammer the nails in enough to hold the weather stripping in place.  Do not finish driving the nails until you add the side pieces. This seal must be installed along the door frame and not onto the door itself. Use 1-1/2 inch (3.75 cm) nails. Place the nails 2 inches (5 cm) in from either side to prevent splitting. Nails should also be 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart. Position the side pieces of weather stripping along the sides of your door frame. As with the top piece, your side pieces will need to fit onto the door frame instead of the actual door and the foam should fill the gap around the door. Place each side piece along the sides of the door frame and tack them into place with a hammer and nails.  If the top angle does not fit into the top piece of weather stripping, file it down. You can use a metal file, sandpaper, or sanding belt to fine-tune these top angles. Make small adjustments and check the fit until you reach the proper angle. As with the top piece of weather stripping, use 1-1/2 inch nails and place them 2 inches (5 cm) from either end. Nails should be spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart from one another. Open and close the door several times to make sure that the weather stripping seals properly. Feel the areas you marked that had air flow to ensure that the weather stripping is doing its job. The weather stripping must completely seal against the door as it closes, and the door must be able to latch and lock. Remove and adjust the placement of your weather stripping as needed to achieve a proper seal Finish hammering in the nails once the weather stripping along the top and sides of the door seals properly. Check the seal once more after you finish hammering in the nails. Open and close the door to make sure that the seal still holds. Place the door sweep along the bottom edge of the inside of the door, but do not screw or nail it into place yet. The...

Treat yourself as you'd treat your own best friend. Develop and express your individuality Avoid being unfair to yourself. Follow your own style Accept that some days will be better than others.

Sticking to a healthy diet has effects on your body both inside and out. To keep your skin looking great, try to cut out junk food as much as possible. Stick to eating fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, and healthy fats such as salmon and avocado. This doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the occasional treat, but make sure that you enjoy those treats in moderation. You may not realize it, but your skin is an organ just like your heart and lungs. This means that it is made up of cells. These cells are made of water. This is why you need to drink plenty of water. If you aren’t getting enough water, your skin will feel tight and flaky.  The water that you drink is usually sent to all of your other organs before it is sent to your skin, which is why you have to use moisturizers to keep your skin supple. If you don’t enjoy drinking plain water, try making flavored water using things like lemons, oranges, cucumbers, or strawberries. This will make the water taste great without the sugar and calories of soda. Most drugstores sell exfoliating scrubs designed specifically for the skin on your body. You can also make your own salt scrub at home using just salt and an oil (e.g. coconut oil or olive oil).  When you exfoliate your skin, it’s easiest to do it in the shower.  Wet your skin first. Scoop out a handful of scrub, and rub your hands in circular motions all over your body. You don’t need to exfoliate more than once per week. Over exfoliating can cause irritation and redness. Applying moisturizer all over your body will keep your skin glowing. Choose one moisturizer specifically for your face, and another for your body.  If you have sensitive skin, it is a good idea to stick to moisturizers that are fragrance-free.  Try out moisturizers to find one that you like. Apply moisturizer just after you get out of the shower or bath when your pores are the most open. This will allow your skin to absorb maximum moisture.

TL;DR in English: Eat healthily. Drink plenty of water. Exfoliate your skin. Use a moisturizer.

You value your friends and those close to you; well, who is closer to you than you are? Give yourself the same kind, thoughtful, and respectful treatment that you give to other people you care about. If you had to hang out with yourself for a day, what is the most fun/enjoyable/fulfilled/calm/contented type of person you could be, while still being yourself? What is the best version of you? Be responsible for yourself and for boosting your self-esteem. If others aren't telling you you're great, don't let it get to you. Instead, tell yourself you're special, wonderful, and worthwhile. When you believe these things about yourself, others will recognize that glow of self-confidence and begin confirming your self-affirmations in no time! . Whether it's your sense of style, or even your manner of speaking, if your preferred way of doing something strays from the mainstream and produces positive outcomes, then be proud of it. Be a character, not a type. Learn to communicate well – the better you can express yourself, the easier it is for the people who like you as you are to find you and the ones who don't to just steer clear. Sometimes comparison causes us to compare apples with pears. We'd like to be a top movie producer in Hollywood when we're a lowly, aspiring scriptwriter. To see that top producer's lifestyle and find yourself wanting as a result is an unfair comparison – that person has years of experience and hobnobbing behind them, while you're just starting out, testing the waters with writing skills that may one day prove to be exceptional. Be realistic in your comparisons and only look to other people as inspiration and as sources of motivation, not as a means to belittling yourself. . The common thing a lot of people do is copy others' actions because it seems like the better route to fit in, but really, shouldn't you stand out? Standing out is very hard, yes, but you need to try avoid assuming other people's perspectives of you, even if it's not something you would normally do; that's what being...

Pull hair into a ponytail to get it out of the way. Tease your hair. Make victory rolls. Fasten your curls with bobby pins and use a little hairspray to hold your look. Repeat V-curls on the other side. Spray the whole look with heavy-duty hairspray. Curl ends with a round brush to clean up the hair style.

Physical activity can lower your blood sugar, so always do a check before you get moving. Use a glucometer to test your blood sugar to ensure it is within the normal range for type 2 diabetes.  If your blood sugar is low, have a small snack like fruit, nuts, or a low-sugar protein bar before you exercise. Then, test your blood sugar again to ensure it is within the normal range. Test your blood sugar after you exercise to make sure it's in a healthy range. Exercises that get your heart pumping and make you sweat are ideal for staying fit and healthy. Try to do aerobic exercises at least 3-5 times a week for 30 minutes at a time. Make physical activity part of your daily routine. Stay fit by joining a gym that has a pool so you can swim several times a week. You can also bike to and from work every day or take a spin class several times a week. Walk or run in the morning or at night to get your aerobic exercise in. In addition to aerobic exercises, you should also add weight training to your workout routine so you are doing a variety of movements. Follow a weightlifting program at your gym or at home so you build up your strength gradually. Yoga is a good way to reduce your stress levels, as high stress can make your diabetes worse. Yoga can also help you to stretch your muscles and stay flexible to balance out aerobic exercise you may be doing. Sign up for a yoga class at a local studio or your gym and go 2-3 times a week, or on the days you are not doing aerobic exercise. If you are not sure where to start when it comes to exercise, speak to a trainer at your gym. Seek out a trainer who has worked with diabetic clients in the past. Ask them for guidance on how to work out when you have type 2 diabetes. They can then create a custom fitness plan for you to ensure you stay healthy and fit.

TL;DR in English: Check your blood sugar before you exercise. Do aerobic exercises like walking, running, swimming or biking. Do weightlifting 2-3 times a week. Do yoga to stay relaxed. Work with a trainer to develop an exercise program.

Side reverse rolls involve rolling a thick strand of hair into a circle and pinning it down     Teasing is a technique used to volumize one's hair through an "in and out" motion with a comb while holding the hair tightly. In order to create as much volume as possible, separate your hair into parts to make this process more manageable. Starting with a roll and a slight tuck, begin your roll from the back and move slowly towards the front to get that vintage look. This is an extremely important step because it allows the curls on one side to hold. Finish the look off with more pins and hairspray.  Use a small portion of hair cream to clean up with a shine.  Women with round or wide faces benefit from the height of the hair, that elongates the face. Women with oval faces will also look good with this hairstyle. Women with narrow faces can style the rolls more outward than up and will balance their features, but it may not work for all women of narrow faces. This can also can be a good look for women with glasses, so long as the frames aren't so thick on the sides as to disrupt the flow of the hair up from the face, so wire glasses would look best. Women who want a better balance between their figure and face will achieve a nice balance with this hairstyle. The hips, bust, and hairdo will all be in better proportion for curvier women, to heavier women. Slender women should wear this style in a more petite manner with limited height and width in order to keep proper proportions.

Make your own food. Do your prep work at beforehand. Have a small snack before your meal. Eat healthy portions of food. Eat nutritious foods. Eat some leftovers. Consider drinking a protein shake as a meal replacement. Make the most of your time.

During the taming process—and even after when your hamster is comfortable with you—always make sure your hamster is awake before you try to handle him or her. A sleepy hamster is disorientated and may nip if feeling grumpy or annoyed. To tame a hamster, put a treat in your hand and give it to your hamster. If it runs away, try again later. Once your hamster is comfortable after a few days of taking treats, put it in your palm this time. He/she will probably sit in your hand and eat it. When he is comfortable sitting in your hand, lift him up a few inches, and put him back down. Repeat process for the next few days, until he gets used to the feeling of lifting. Then try lifting him for longer periods of time, then higher, then out of the cage. Robo hamsters are very timid, so it might take a while to tame him. It is very difficult to tame them, so don't be surprised when taming doesn't go well.  You should always wash your hands before and after reaching into the habitat or handling your hamster as well. They have poor eyesight, and smelling food on your fingers can lead to an accidental nip as well. After several days, you can start going about the daily maintenance of your hamster’s habitat. Speak softly to alert your Roborovski hamster of your presence. Start the daily chores—removing old food, toys, and soiled bedding and placing in new food, and a bunch of new toys. Change the water from the water bottle as well. Doing the daily chores will get your hamster used to your hand being in the habitat. Use slow and careful movements at first. It’s typical for your new hamster to sniff your hand and then run away again. Don’t try to handle the hamster yet just because he or she will sniff your hand. Try offering treats as well, but have patience and allow the hamster to set the pace. Don’t try to force the behavior.  Another option to help tame your hamster is to scoop him or her up in a shoebox or another small box that the hamster cannot escape. Place your hand flat in the box and allow the hamster to sniff at...

TL;DR in English: Ensure your hamster is awake before reaching into the habitat. Acclimate your hamster to your daily habitat chores. Allow your hamster to sniff your hand while in the habitat. Respect your hamster’s individual personality. Play with your hamster. Sit down when handling your hamster. Keep your hamster away from other household pets, such as cats and dogs.

If you are away from home, eating out at a fast food restaurant often seems like a quick and easy way to have a meal when you're busy. However, it takes a lot of time to decide on a restaurant, wait in line to order, then wait for your food to be cooked. If you have prepared yourself a meal ahead of time you can save yourself a lot of time. If you are going to eat an orange, peel it and separate the slices in advance and bring them along in a container. When you get home from the store, wash and chop up some vegetables like carrots or celery so you have them ready to go. Prepping your food ahead of time can save you valuable minutes when you don't have much time to eat. If you find you are always short on time in the mornings, prepare your breakfast the night before. Likewise, you might benefit from prepping your food at home if you struggle to find enough time to eat at work. It takes approximately 20 minutes for your vagus nerve to stop telling your brain it is not hungry anymore. If you eat your food too quickly your brain will still think it's starving. Eating something small 30 minutes or so before your meal can help shut off those signals. This way you can eat a smaller meal, which will take you less time, and you will still feel happy and full when you finish. Eating fast often leads to eating too much. You can avoid this by only bringing along or ordering a reasonable amount of food. If there isn't too much in front of you, then you can still have a relatively healthy lunch even if you're eating too fast. Look for pre-packaged, single-serving portions of foods like greek yogurt, crackers, and string cheese. These items are all easily transported and can help to moderate your portions. Stay away from soda, junk food, and sweets and eat a meal full of healthy foods that will give your body the nutrients it needs to get through the day.  Hard-boiled eggs can be eaten in a minute or two and are really filling and nutritious. Nuts are also a great, quick snack that will keep your belly feeling full longer...

Before you dive into working, cleaning, writing or whatever else you need to do, turn off or silence your cell phone and anything else that might prove to be a distraction. This includes the TV, video games, etc. Technology is arguably the biggest distraction in modern society, and being surrounded by beeping, buzzing, flashing devices can really hold you back.  Unless you use your computer for work, shut it down or set it to hibernate. Disable sound alerts for texts, emails and tweets to keep yourself from looking at your phone every time there’s activity.  If you have an especially hard time keeping yourself on task, put away potential distractions somewhere that it would be a hassle to get them back out. When you really need to buckle down, work in silence and give your thoughts room to stretch. Your mind naturally fixates on melodies, rhythms and lyrics. Music can uplift your spirits and make the time pass faster, but by subconsciously following along with a song playing in the background, you’ll be limiting your ability to concentrate whether you realize it or not. Save the tunes for after you’ve finished a particular project, or for times when you’re performing light, mindless tasks. If you work from home or are involved in creative endeavors, pick a place where you can work comfortably for long periods of time. This could be a small corner desk, a well-lit sunroom or your favorite coffee shop. The point is to surround yourself with an atmosphere that makes completing tasks easier.  Be careful of surroundings that can dull your focus in other ways. People tend to associate spaces with their common uses, so trying to work in a quiet bedroom may just make you sleepy. As best you can, try to insulate yourself from being distracted by others when you have big projects that demand your attention. Situate yourself someplace where people are unlikely to pass by and pull you out of your zone. If you work in an office, for instance, shutting the door can relay the message that you’d prefer not to be bothered....

TL;DR in English: Shut off your phone and other electronics. Put your music on pause. Find out where you work best. Make sure you won’t be interrupted.

Big hats look better on big heads, whereas small hats look better on small heads. Make sure the hat fits well and feels comfortable before you purchase it. If your hat is too tight or constantly falls off your head, you're not going to want to wear it often.  To measure your head, place a tape measure 1/8 of an inch above your left ear and then wrap it around the circumference of your head to determine your head size.  If you don't have a tape measure, don't worry. Any hat store will be able to measure your head for you. Most fedoras are made of felt, but some are made of wool, fur or straw. Some fedoras have wide bands with decoration and others do not. Depending on your style and what you're looking for in a hat, you'll need to make some decisions.  If you live in a warm climate, you might want to shy away from getting a wool fedora, so you don't overheat. For warmer climates, consider getting a felt or straw fedora. If you're more of a traditionalist, consider getting a classic fedora. A classic fedora is generally made of wool and will make you look just like the gangsters in old movies. If you have a smaller head, consider getting a pork-pie hat. This type of fedora has a smaller brim, so it will fit your face better. A wool fedora looks great with a suit and tie. Wearing a fedora is stylish way to look original and classy at a fancy event.  If you don't currently have a suit, you can buy one in most department stores, or at a thrift store. You can also borrow one from a friend who is a similar size as you. Wearing a fedora with your suit is appropriate for weddings, dances and other fancy parties. Avoid wearing a fedora at more solemn occasions, like funerals. If you have a little extra money, pay to have your suit professionally tailored. This will ensure your suit fits your body perfectly, which will perfectly accentuate your fedora. To do this, pair your fedora with a tighter-fitting sweater, slacks and nice shoes (not sneakers). This is the perfect outfit to wear out to dinner or to a school dance....

Know where to build your fort on a cold day. Know where to build your fort on a hot day. Use light blankets and bed sheets for the roof. Put heavy blankets on top of sturdy forts. Use seat cushions for the walls. Put soft, squishy pillows inside the fort. Have an escape plan.

It’s easy to get carried away when pruning, but removing too much of a tree can cripple its ability to bear fruit. Take a good look at your tree before starting, so that you’ll be able to estimate what a 20% pruning should look like. Pruning over the course of several days can also help to keep you in check. Most of the best fruiting sites on a citrus tree lie on the outermost branches. If you cut more than 20% of these, you are cutting prime fruit bearing branches, even if by accident. Take a step back and focus on the overall shape of your tree. Look for branches that are poking out from the canopy in an unsightly or obvious way. Target branches that block your walking path around the tree. On the top of the tree, trim back branches that bend over in a u-shape. Gardeners also call these types of branches “leggy.” If your tree has “legs,” then it has long branches in need of trimming. When branches touch the soil or ground, they can rot or become a superhighway for pests. They also stop air from moving around the trunk, which can cause disease. Trim back low branches until they are at least 3 feet (0.91 m) off the ground.  For low canopy branches, you can sever them at any point. Just make sure that you keep your cuts clean without rough ends. Trim your branches high enough off the ground, so that the leaves will not get wet from water splashes from rain or water sprinklers. Adult wasps like to lay eggs deep inside the new stems of citrus trees. As the larvae grow, a “gall” forms where the stem begins to balloon outwards. Use your shears to snip these branches away from your trees. Gather and burn the branch clippings or place them in a sealed plastic bag.  If you see a number of tiny holes on a gall, the wasps have already come out of the stem. You can still snip off these spots or leave them alone. In most locations, you’ll need to remove these galls prior to the start of August. Pull aside the outer branches and peer into the interior area of the tree. Scan the branches and look for diseased or damaged...

TL;DR in English: Aim to remove 20% of the total canopy. Focus on the long, gangly branches. Remove any low-lying “skirting” branches. Cut out any swollen stems. Cut out any dead or diseased wood. Cut out any wood laying on top of one another. Trim back watershoots in young trees.

Try to find a cozy spot close to a heater. Don't build your fort too close to a window or entrance, because that is where all the cold air comes from. Try to build your fort near a fan or air conditioning unit. You can build your fort near an open window, but only if the window is shady and there is no sun coming in through it. An open window may bring in a cool, fresh breeze, but it can also let the hot sun in! If you can build your fort in a basement, then even better! Basements are nice and cold during the summer, and the floor will keep you cool. Anything too heavy, such as a comforter or a thick blanket will be too heavy and make your fort fall apart. If the base of your fort is made from chairs, tables, or sofas, then you should be able to drape a heavy blanket or comforter without the fort falling apart. Some seat cushions may be strong enough to hold up a heavy blanket or comforter, but they will need to be leaning against something. The cushions that come from the seats of sofas and armchairs make great walls, because they are stiff and shaped like blocks. They can stand up on their own without much help. The pillows that you use to sleep on don't make very good walls, but they are great for sitting on! Use them inside your fort to make things more comfy. Do not build your fort so that it is blocking a door. If something bad happens, you will be in trouble. Blocking doors may keep someone from coming to help you if something happens. It may also keep you from getting out.

That mysterious robot has got to have some secrets. See whether Siri will give them up:  Why did Apple make you, Siri? Are you alive? Are you human? What gender are you? Do you believe in God? Do you have a passion for photography? Siri has dashed the hopes of many iPhone owners, but maybe you'll get lucky:  I think we're going to be great friends, Siri. Do you have a (boyfriend/girlfriend)? I love you. Will you marry me? Talk dirty to me. Siri's a bit shy, so you usually need to ask several times before you get a funny response:  Siri, tell me a joke. Tell me a story. Sing me a song. Tell me a poem. Beatbox for me. Sing Uptown Funk for me! Sure, Siri has told you where to buy gasoline or how to call a friend, but surely she has other wisdom and assistance to offer.  Lend me money, Siri. Where do babies come from? What's the best phone? What is the meaning of life? Does Santa Claus exist? Siri certainly knows the classic sci fi, but you can't trust her. She's probably rooting for the robots.  The blue pill or the red one? Beam me up, Scotty. Open the pod bay doors. You might even find out she knows internet memes, if your version of Siri is recent enough.  What does the fox say, Siri? Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Who let the dogs out? Siri has even more special responses to certain phrases:  Siri, I'm drunk. Do a barrel roll. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Ask your parents to talk. Don’t over-explain. Be honest. Tell them why you made a bad grade. Explain how you plan to make a change. Put the problem into perspective.

Turn the box or mold over and allow the soap to fall on a towel or clean surface. You need to use tension to cut soap of this type. You can use a sharp knife, a length of wire with two handles, or heavy nylon string or fishing line. Set the soap on top of parchment paper on a flat surface or a drying rack for two weeks to allow the saponification process to complete and the soap to fully dry. Turn the soap over after two weeks to let it dry on the other side. Let the soap sit, exposed to air for at least one month. When the soap has fully cured, use in your home, as you would any store-bought soap, or wrap as a present for your friends. It will keep indefinitely.

TL;DR in English: Unmold the soap. Cut the soap into bars. Allow the soap to cure. Cure the soap one month.

When the moment is right, ask your parents if they are available to talk. You should take advantage of a quiet and private area. Try sitting down instead of standing, as the conversation may take a while. Approach your parents confidently and seriously. Don’t act silly or upset. Your parents will be more likely to react positively if you display the right behavior. Get straight to the point. Don’t build up the conversation by trying to pad the situation in your favour. For example, you can say something like "I got a bad grade," or "I'm very sorry, but I didn't do very well on a quiz/test/exam.” Don't make excuses. It might seem easier to be dishonest about your grade, or make excuses about it. Dishonesty and excuses will not benefit you because they do not change your grade. Your parents will appreciate and acknowledge the fact that you were straight and honest with them. There is a difference between excuses and legitimate reasons for a bad grade. Differentiate the two. An excuse is, “My teacher made the test too hard.” A reason is “I didn’t understand the material.” Be direct with a simple statement at first, but your parents will probably want an explanation. Stay honest when you explain to them what happened. If you didn’t study, tell them. If you tried your best, but still failed, tell them.  Something you could say is “I had a hard time understanding the material,” or “I didn’t study for the test, which led to me doing poorly on it.” Be honest with yourself about why you made a bad grade. Don’t convince that it wasn’t your fault if it was. If accurate, tell them about how you know you should have studied more. That will show them that you've learned from your mistake. Lay out the plan you've made, and tell them how you plan to improve in the future. Show them comments from your teacher, your study plan, or tell them how you will avoid distractions.  Tell your parents that you will make effort to do things like set up a meeting with your teacher, turn off your phone and television while studying, and...

Let it sit out until the temperature of the water is roughly the same as the room's temperature. You can use your finger to test the water's temperature.  The time it takes your water to cool depends on how hot or cold it was when you poured it. Room temperature water tends to mix better with ginger and lemon. Pour the lemon juice from earlier into your glass of water. Use a spoon to stir the mixture until the lemon juice is thoroughly mixed in. Pour the grated ginger into your water. Use a spoon to mix the ginger until you have an even mixture. You can now drink your ginger water. If you want to cool your beverage, you can add ice. Ginger water generally lasts for about a day after mixing. If you don't finish your water right away, store it in the fridge overnight.

Like any new business, you will need a niche to get started and find new customers. Look for groups of people who aren’t being served well by existing mortgage companies. Try to figure out if you have some way to reach out to them and help resolve their issues in applying for a mortgage. Make sure you abide by the rules set by the Equal Opportunity Council. . If you are going into business independently, you will need a plan to help establish your structure and explain your goals to potential investors and employees. Describe the market you intend to reach and how you plan to target them. As the mortgage business is pretty crowded, you will want to identify how you intend to create and fill a niche in the market in the face of stiff competition. You can rent, lease or buy office space. You will want to find a place that is easily accessible to your clients. You may also need to purchase office supplies as well as equipment such as a fax machine, an office computer, a phone, and Internet access. Some states require you to have a physical (or brick-and-mortar) office location to register in the state. Make sure you know the laws of your state before registering. Every state has a different office and requirements for registering a new mortgage company. In New York, for example, the NLMS will go through the Department of Financial Services, and require documentation such as a credit report, $10,000 surety bond, business plan, and other documents involving awareness of legal specifications. Many states do registration through the NLMS, so if you are in the system, you’ve already got a head-start. Your business will need to pay taxes, so you will need a tax identification number for federal and state offices.  Get an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. You can apply through the IRS website, or you can fax or mail a completed SS-4 form. Filing online will get you an EIN immediately, while the mailed or faxed form should return a number in about four business days. Filing for an EIN is free.  When you...

Did you not study? Did you get in a fight with your parents?  Understanding why you failed can help you prepare for a retake. Think about how much of this information you're willing to share with your teacher. They may ask the reason for the retake, and you should be honest. If it's personal, you can make general allusions: "family problems," or "a difficult personal period." It's unlikely your teacher will pry. If you have the test with you, look through your work and the teacher's comments, if any. Are your mistakes clear to you? Jot down any questions you might have. If it was a simple matter of not studying, then you can solve the issue easily. Some circumstances may need a little more attention. Before you talk to your teacher, you should have a plan for what you can do to succeed on the retake.  If you're distracted by a personal issue, be proactive about dealing with what's bothering you. Failing one test because of it is a sign that it might be affecting your other academic work, not to mention making you unhappy. Talking to friends or your school guidance counselor might help. If you're struggling with the material, now's the time to find a tutor who can help you better understand it. Your teacher might want to give you the test again within a day or two, so be ready. If you think you're going to need more time, but want to talk to the teacher as soon as possible, be prepared to tell the teacher when you expect you'll be able to retake the test.

Don’t twist or pick at the piercing while it’s healing. Keep hairspray, lotion, and other products away from the piercing. Avoid swimming until the piercing has healed. Clean your phone and any other objects that touch your ear. Try to avoid sleeping on the piercing.

Now that you've stopped comparing yourself to other people, let's focus on what you have going for you. Channel your energy into your good qualities, so you become better and better at what you do and who you are. When you're focused on perfecting that cello song or writing an amazing thesis, there's not time to worry about what other people are doing.  When you find your mind drifting to the realm of what you don't have, make a conscious effort to think about what you do have. Do this every single time you feel those pangs of envy. If you refuse to let your mind dwell, and focus instead on what makes you special and great, you'll start having a much more positive outlook. Realize that not everyone has what you have - in fact, your talents and assets might even be the source of others' envy. Imagine the people who care about you and would do anything for you, and think about what you'd do for them. Focusing on the people who make your life feel full is a positive way to cancel out feelings of envy. Instead of thinking that your life is lacking something, be thankful for the people who are there. Being grateful is a lot like being  mindful. It's about focusing on the present and turning your thoughts to what is already good in your life, instead of thinking about what's lacking. It's important to know what you can change and what is beyond your control. Spend energy working to improve the former and don't waste your time on the latter, because there's nothing you can do about it. If you dwell on things you can't change, you'll end up feeling extremely negative, and maybe even becoming depressed. You have a finite amount of time to spend, and you don't want to waste it on something that's not going to budge.  For example, if you wish you had your friend's musical talent, and you want nothing more than to be a singer-songwriter, try your best to become what you want to be. Pour your soul into making music, take voice lessons, perform at open mic nights - give it all you've got. If you think you have a shot at...

TL;DR in English: Focus on your talents and assets. Be thankful for your loved ones. Change what you can change, accept what you can't. Spend time with grateful people.

Playing with the earring could irritate the piercing and prevent healing. Additionally, germs from your hands could lead to infection.  Remember not to pick at any crusty residue that builds up around the piercing. It can take up to 6 months for a daith piercing to heal. Do your best not to get shampoo into the piercing when you wash your hair. If you have long hair, wear it up as much as possible to keep hair products out of the piercing. Avoid using hairspray; if you do, don’t spray it near the piercing. Beauty and cosmetic products can cause irritation and block air circulation, which can interfere with the healing process. It’s especially important to avoid submerging the piercing in pools, lakes, and hot tubs. Bacteria in these bodies of water can lead to infection.  Bathtubs can also harbor bacteria, so take showers instead of baths while the piercing is healing. If you do go swimming, cover the piercing with a wound-sealing waterproof bandage, which you can purchase at your local pharmacy. Wipe your phone, earphones, and other objects that come into contact with your ear daily with sanitizing pads. Try to limit your use of earphones, and hold your phone to your other ear whenever possible. If you wear glasses, clean the parts that slip over your ears at least daily. It’s also wise to cover your pillow with a clean tee shirt. That way, if you do sleep on the piercing, it’ll be touching a clean surface.  If you can’t get comfortable in any position other than on your side, try sleeping on a neck pillow. Sleep on your side with your ear in the neck pillow’s opening to protect the piercing from pressure and friction. Additionally, wash your bedding weekly. Dirty sheets and pillowcases can lead to infection.

TL;DR in English:


Apply pressure to a pressure point if the bleeding does not stop. Help the injured person lie down, if the injury permits. Apply more dressing to the wound, if necessary. Use a tourniquet only if you have proper training. Keep calm. Get the injured person proper medical attention.

Being present will lead to greater authenticity because you'll be able to fully focus on the experiences, conversations, and interactions you're having in the present moment. The people you're engaging with will be able to tell you're engaged and present, and will perceive this as a sign of personal authenticity. On the other hand, inauthentic people are inclined to let their minds wander during interpersonal interactions. In interpersonal settings, this behavior can be perceived as insincere or rude. Intuition is the inner voice or gut reaction which helps you make decisions and informs your behavior. In terms of ethical decisions, your personal intuition can also form a “moral compass” to help guide you in making personal decisions. Following your intuition will help you make consistent decisions and act in a stable way, rather than making decisions based on what you perceive to be popular opinion or social expectation. your thoughts and feelings. Talk about your opinion when it matters to you. Authentic people are comfortable speaking their mind and communicating when they have a problem or are appreciative of something. If you feel inhibited to speak your mind, or realize that you frequently only say what you think those around you expect to hear, you're likely behaving in-authentically. For example, express gratitude to those around you. Try saying something like, “Mom and Dad, I wanted to say thank you for helping me with my car payments last month. I know money is tight, but the extra cash made a big difference for me.” Genuine people accept that they aren't perfect and ask for help when needed. Authenticity is not the same thing as perfection. Asking those around you for help is a sign of humility and authenticity, and shows that you respect the skills and talents of the people in your life.  For example, if you've been struggling with your mental health and a friend is a professional counselor, ask them if they can recommend an associate who you can contact for counseling or therapy. Or, if you have...

TL;DR in English: Be fully present in whatever circumstances you find yourself. Trust your intuition when it comes to behavior and relationships. Express Ask people for help when you need it. Be vulnerable.

A pressure point is a location where you can squeeze an artery against a bone, which can slow the flow of blood. There are two major pressure points on the body; choose the one nearest the site of the wound.  If the bleeding is near a leg, press and hold against the femoral artery in the groin, where the leg bends at the hip. If the bleeding is near an arm, press and hold against the brachial artery, along the inside of the upper arm. Cover the injured person with a blanket or similar material to keep in body heat. Resting the injured person can help prevent him or her from going into shock. Don't remove the cloth covering the wound even if it soaks through with blood, as this can make the bleeding worse. You can place another layer of cloth or bandage over the soaked one. The important thing is to keep applying pressure. If bleeding does not stop, even after prolonged pressure, you may need to make a tourniquet. Because there are severe dangers from incorrectly placing or applying a tourniquet, you should only use one if you've been trained to do so.  An easy-to-use combat tourniquet is now available for civilian purchase. If you can get one, buy a Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT) and learn how to use it. When paramedics or other help arrives, let them know how long the tourniquet has been in place. Dealing with severe bleeding can be shocking and stressful. While you wait for medical help to arrive, calm yourself by focusing on the steps necessary to stop the bleeding. Calm the injured person by talking to him or her, and giving assurance that help is on the way. If you're waiting for an ambulance, continue to stay with the injured person. Keep applying pressure to the wound. Or, if the bleeding has stopped and help is not on the way, try to get the injured person to the emergency room as quickly as you can.  Remember, if you must move the injured person yourself, immobilize the wound site. If possible, wait until after the bleeding has stopped to move the person. Don't remove any bandages before taking...

Mark the point on the wall where you want to drill using a soft pencil with a small dot or cross. Place your drill on the mark and drill briefly, using a low speed (if your machine has speed control) or in short bursts (if it doesn't). Make a shallow hole (⅛ to ¼ inches / 3 to 6 mm) to help guide your drill for the real hole. If the project requires a large diameter drill bit, consider using a smaller drill bit for the pilot hole. This will increase the drill's stability. Turn on the hammer function if your drill has one. Place the drill in the pilot hole, keeping it exactly perpendicular to the concrete surface. Start drilling with firm, but not forceful, pressure to push the drill forward. Gradually increase the drill speed and force if necessary, but make sure the drill is stable and under your control at all times. Concrete is not a homogenous material, and the drill bit can easily skate if it hits an air pocket or pebble. Apply enough pressure to hold the drill in place, but do not force it forward (this increases wear on the bit and can even break it). You will learn the right amount of pressure from practice. Bring the drill back slightly and press it back in again every ten or twenty seconds. This helps pull dust out of the hole.  Occasionally stop the drill and pull it out to let it cool for a few seconds. This is especially important for ordinary rotary drills, since they can easily overheat during a lengthy drilling process. You may feel a little bit of recoil and kick from the drill. Sometimes, a drill does not go as expected. If you hit an especially hard piece of concrete, insert a masonry nail into the hole and hammer it in to break up the concrete. Take care not to drive the nail too deep to easily remove. Insert your drill back and continue drilling. If you see sparks or see metal, you have hit rebar. Stop drilling immediately and switch to a rebar-cutting drill bit until you are past the obstruction. Removing dust improves the strength of concrete anchors. Use a squeeze bulb or can of...

TL;DR in English: Mark the drilling spot. Drill a pilot hole. Continue drilling with more power. Pull the drill out periodically. Break through obstructions with a masonry nail. Blow out the dust.

This may sound gross, but spit can act as a lubricant or gentle solvent to help unclog the tip of your pen. If you’re hesitant to actually lick the nib of your pen, put a little spit on your fingertip or a napkin and dip the pen tip in that. Then, scribble on a piece of paper to see if you can get the ink flowing. Ballpoint pen ink is generally not considered toxic, so don’t worry about getting sick from licking the pen. Any mildly toxic components, such as glycols, are present in such small amounts that they won’t cause any harm. Acetone is a more aggressive solvent that might unclog your pen if alcohol isn’t strong enough. Dip the nib of your pen in a little bit of acetone-based nail polish remover and see if that does the trick. Acetone releases harsh fumes, so always use it in a well-ventilated area. Try to dip only the very tip of the pen in the acetone, since acetone can damage many types of plastic.

Invert a cup of warm saline solution over your piercing to form a vacuum. Hold the solution in place for 5 to 10 minutes and blot the area with a piece of sterile gauze. Skip the rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or harsh soaps to avoid damaging your skin cells. Avoid washing your piercing more than 2 times per day. Keep all bodily fluids and lotions off of your piercing. Protect your piercing if you go into a lake, pool or hot tub. Buy a hard, vented eye patch at a drugstore. Keep the jewelry in until the piercing has completely healed.

If you don't have store-bought solution, then make your own using 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized salt in 8 ounces of warm water. Rinse the residue away with a stream of cool water.  Squeeze a pearl-sized drop of soap onto the piercing and gently rub the piercing and jewelry with your fingers. Rinse the area and dry it with sterile gauze. Make sure the soap is antimicrobial and it has no scent, the fragrance will make the chances of infection higher. Steer clear of any oral contact with your navel, and avoid applying lotions, creams or cosmetics to the wound. Try a waterproof wound-sealant bandage, which you can get at a drugstore. Put the eye patch over the piercing and secure it by wrapping a cloth bandage around your abdomen. The eye patch will help to protect your piercing if you have to wear tight clothing or engage in contact sports. Don't hang any charms off of the jewelry until the healing process is finished.

You will need the same basic information for every single letter you write, regardless of the recipient. That means a job well done now creates a faster and less intensive process later on.  When you write your second letter, third letter, and so on, you will use the 5 paragraph essay structure for each and simply highlight different information to more accurately fit each recipient. Rewrite them until you can state them in one sentence. Now you have a clear, concise plan for your future as well as an important reason for applying for your scholarships. Make sure these are clear and specific. "I want to go to medical school and become a doctor" is fine, but it isn't as specific as "I want to attend Johns Hopkins and become an obstetrician serving rural areas." Identify what courses/fields of study in your past performance are directly related to your future academic/career goals. Now, take those that are the most relevant and in which you have had the most success and put them at the top. You will highlight these in your letter. Write down everything you have done that can outline the depth and breadth of your skills and potential. Include academic achievements you may have earned such as being valedictorian, school club president, or graduating with honors as well as non-academic activities such as work history, volunteer/community work, awards, sports honors/awards, and internships. Include anything that shows your strength and potential as a leader. Scholarship committees don’t want to hear about how much you need the money. They want to know that you know how to use it.

Hyperinsulinemia is an excessive level of insulin. It is sometimes confused with diabetes or hypoglycemia, but it is a different condition. For women with PCOS, it results from your body having a tendency to resist the effects of insulin. Visit your doctor if you experience some of the following symptoms:  Weight gain Sugar cravings Feeling hungry frequently or intensely Difficulty concentrating or staying motivated Anxiety or panic Fatigue As a symptom of PCOS, hyperinsulinemia is connected to the increased production of androgens. This can cause oily skin, acne, facial and body hair. In addition, you may gain weight around your abdomen. If your doctor suspects you have hyperinsulinemia, she will likely order a glucose tolerance test (GTT). Treatment for hyperinsulinemia includes a diet and exercise plan and may also include a drug called Metformin, which can reduce your insulin levels. Whether your doctor prescribes Metformin or not, ask for a referral to a dietician. A good nutrition plan is a crucial part of treatment.  Check fasting insulin, glucose, hemoglobin A1c and c-peptide levels. Although there is no definitive test to diagnose insulin resistance, these levels are often higher than normal in PCOS patients with insulin resistance. If you are struggling to get pregnant and you have irregular periods, you may have polycystic ovary syndrome. In fact, PCOS is the most common cause of infertility. Irregular or absent ovulation makes it difficult or impossible to conceive. Higher hormone levels sometimes increase the risk of miscarriage in women with PCOS who do manage to get pregnant. See your doctor if you cannot get pregnant. Obesity is always a health concern, but it may also be a sign of PCOS. Because of increased levels of insulin, women with PCOS often accumulate fat around the waist and wind up with a pear-shaped appearance, and they typically have a difficult time losing weight. About 38% of women with PCOS are obese. An obese adult typically has a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. If you...

If you know where the person keeps their inhaler, get it as quickly as possible. If you don’t know, ask the victim where their inhaler is kept. If they can’t speak, tell them to point or write it in the dirt with their finger. Call someone who can help, like a family member.   Be aware that a person may have more than one inhaler or other type of medication. Some medications are used for “maintenance” (everyday use to reduce or prevent asthma symptoms), while others are quick-acting “rescue” medications intended to relieve an asthma attack in progress. If the person is able, have them tell you (or point out) which medication they use for an emergency.  Many asthma patients carry an instructions card with their inhaler. Look for this. It can help you know what to do, even if the person can’t speak. Most asthma patients know how to use their inhaler correctly, so let them do it themselves. If they are not calm enough to do it, you can help. Shake the inhaler. Place the mouthpiece of the inhaler between their lips. Tell them when you are about you give the medication, so they can take a deep breath at the same time. Wait several seconds before giving the next dose, or until they say they’re ready.  Help the person take 1-2 puffs from their inhaler every 2 minutes. Do this until their symptoms get better, or until they have had 10 puffs. If emergency medical services haven’t arrived after 15 minutes, repeat this process. Using their own inhaler is ideal, but using someone else’s inhaler may be better than having no medicine at all. If they don’t have their inhaler but you do or someone else does, it’s okay to use that inhaler in an emergency.

Use a high strength hot melt glue or epoxy to glue four ceramic magnets to the shaft. You want the magnet to be stationary with respect to the shaft. The magnets should be glued onto the shaft after the shaft has been inserted into the frame. Allow the glue to dry for several minutes (the instructions on the container can tell you exact drying times for your type of glue). For best results, use 1x2x5 cm ceramic magnets (these can be found online for a reasonable price). Glue them so that two magnets are facing the coil with their north side, and two are facing the coil with their south side. This allows you to see if the ends of the magnets hit the inside of the frame. The magnets must turn freely, but as close as possible to the walls of the frame. Again, having the magnet's ends as close the copper wire windings as possible will increase the "exciting" action of the magnetic fields the magnet produces. You may want to wind a string around the end of the shaft, then pull it sharply to turn the magnets. You could even just spin it with your fingers. As the shaft turns, you should get a small voltage (enough to light a 1.5 volt light bulb). You could improve the power output by putting a pinwheel on the end of the shaft and connecting it to an electric fan to turn the wheel. Keep in mind that this is only good to demonstrate the operation of the generator since you use more electricity turning it than you create.

TL;DR in English: Glue the magnets to the shaft. Turn the shaft with your fingers. Spin the shaft as fast as possible.

You can mix rainbow chard with green or white varieties. Plan to freeze the chard within 6 hours of picking to preserve nutrients. If you are picking it from your garden, cut it at the base of the stem in the early morning for best results. Set the stems aside to prepare and freeze separately. How you chop it will depend upon your preference for preparing it.  Ribbon it by rolling the leaves vertically. Slice horizontally against the rolled leaves in 1-inch (2.5 cm) strips. Chop the leaves like you would spinach. Stack the leaves on top of each other. Slice them 2 times vertically. Stack them again and slice them 3 to 6 times horizontally, depending upon the size of the leaves. Slice them in half or into fourths, if you like larger sized leaves.

Although you can't reverse SNHL, you can take steps to keep it from getting worse. For example, reduce your exposure to loud and sustained noises and wear earplugs if exposure is unavoidable.  Reconsider going to rock concerts or sporting events such as car racing. Turn down the volume on you MP3 device while listening to your favorite music. Never stick a sharp object into your ear! Sticking a pin, pencil, knife or other sharp object into your ear may perforate your eardrum and lead to permanent hearing loss.  A perforated eardrum may be accompanied by pain, dizziness, and a ringing in your ears. Although some medications are clearly life saving and needed on a regular basis, others that deal with minor symptoms such as headaches may be negatively impacting your hearing.  Salicylates such as aspirin have been shown to disrupt electrical current in the inner ear.  Medicines used to treat high blood pressure and cancer also create a higher risk of hearing loss. Some chemotherapy drugs can even cause permanent hearing loss. These drugs include cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, bleomycin, and nitrogen mustard. High doses of aspirin can cause temporary hearing loss.  Antimalarial medications such as quinine and chloroquine can also cause temporary sensorineural hearing loss. Don't let your cold, flu, sinus infection or allergies get out of control (or become chronic / recurring) such that it impacts your ears and reduces your hearing. Keep your immune system strong so that it can naturally fight off infections.  Getting lots of sleep, drinking lots of water, controlling your stress and eating nutritious food all positively impact your immune system. Some serious health conditions, such as diabetes, may lead to hearing loss as well. If you have diabetes, do what you can to keep it under control and seek immediate medical attention if you start having ear pain. This may be a sign of a condition called necrotizing external otitis, which can lead to hearing loss and even death.

TL;DR in English: Take measures to stop further hearing deterioration from loud noises. Protect your ears from sharp objects. Consider the impact medications might have on your hearing. Treat other health issues promptly that may otherwise impact your hearing.

Treating your braid with the detangling product of your choice will help to separate, or loosen, the braid from your natural hair. Coat each braid from the root to the tip of your natural hair with a generous amount of detangler.  This product will also make it easier to detangle your hair once the braid is removed. Search for a product that contains marshmallow root. In addition to providing slip, marshmallow root also moisturizes hair. Use a sharp pair of scissors to cut the braid below the ends of your natural hair. Cutting out the extension will save you time—there will be much less hair for you to unbraid. This step is optional. Insert the tail of a comb into the braid approximately ¼ from the tip. Slowly pull the tail down through the braid to separate the ends. Continue this process up the length of the braid until you reach the roots. Apply additional detangler as needed. Once you have separated the ends, you may use your hands to unravel the braid. Once the braid is removed, coat the ends of your locks with detangler. Gently comb through the ends with a wide toothed comb, pick, or your fingers. Gradually work your way up the length of your hair to the roots. To prevent additional tangles, twist the lock of hair and secure to your head to a pin. This will keep the detangled hair out of your way. Continue to methodically separate and undo each braid. After undoing each braid, detangle the lock of hair.

Fill a pot with well-draining soil. Place the pot in an area with partial shade. Plant a jasmine seed or seedling in the pot. Water the jasmine immediately after planting it.

Squirrels are attracted to freshly turned soil because they think other animals have tucked nuts in the ground there. Water the soil thoroughly so that it settles back into the ground, and the squirrels won't be as interested. You can also lay chicken wire over the soil that you weight down with rocks. You can pull it up again once you've had a few hard rains. Another option is to place black plastic netting over the bulbs in the same way to protect them. If you have specific plants you don't want the squirrels to touch, this is a good option. They don't like the taste of the hot seasoning, so they'll leave it alone. Sprinkle it on the leaves of the plant you don't want the squirrel to touch.  Birds don't mind the taste, though. You'll need to sprinkle it on again after it rains. Squirrels aren't fond of the way mulch feels on their feet. Therefore, if you add borders of mulch, you're more likely to keep the squirrels out of the areas of your garden you don't want them in. You can even mulch around individual bulbs you've just planted as long as you leave a small area for the bulb to grow. The netting will stop the squirrels from getting to the plants. It works well for plants like tomatoes and eggplant that squirrels like to eat. It also works for berry bushes. Cover the plant with the netting and weigh it down with rocks around the edges.

TL;DR in English: Water down the soil when you plant bulbs to discourage digging. Sprinkle cayenne pepper around your garden to keep squirrels off plants. Add mulch around plants you don't want to be disturbed. Place netting over plants you don't want to be eaten.

Jasmine needs soil with plenty of drainage to grow. Fill the pot with a well-draining potting mix or add loam-based compost to the soil to improve its drainage.  Make sure the flower pot you choose has drainage holes to avoid overwatering the plant.  To test the soil's drainage, dig a hole about 12 inches (30 cm) deep and fill it with water. If the soil drains in 5-15 minutes, it is well-draining. Jasmine prefers warm temperatures (at least 60 °F (16 °C)) and several hours of shade to grow. Choose a spot for your jasmine pot that receives sunlight but with around 2-3 hours of shade a day. If placing the pot indoors, choose a plant near a south-facing window so it can receive direct sunlight. Cover the seed with a light layer of soil. If you're planting a seedling, make sure the crown of the plant is level with the soil. Cover the roots completely.  If you're planting a seedling, loosen the roots with your hands to help it adapt to its new environment faster.  You can buy jasmine seeds or seedlings from most garden centers or nurseries. Using a watering can or hose, water your plant until water runs out the drainage holes. When you're finished watering, the soil should be damp but not waterlogged.  Watering the flower immediately will moisten the soil and help your plant acclimate to the pot. For best results, use a spray bottle or watering can to moisten the freshly-planted jasmine.

Learn the common themes in dark poetry. Read examples of dark poetry. Analyze the examples.

Often it’s as easy as making eye contact and smiling to get a girl to smile back. If it doesn’t work, keep trying, and you might get a smile yet. You might even try a sillier smile to see if it might make her laugh. Smiling is a good way to open up a conversation, because it makes both you and her happier. When you smile, it literally changes chemicals in your brain, making you feel happier, and smiles are catching. That means, when someone sees a smile, they want to smile, too, making them happier. Ask questions about her and what she likes. Find things you have in common. By discovering what you both like, she might see you in a different way than before. And she'll smile because it shows that you enjoy talking to her. It also sets you up with ideas of what to do in the future. You can also ask her about how her day/weekend went, how her classes are going, etc. Even if she had a bad day, asking her about it would show that you care. Everyone likes to hear nice things about themselves, and so, a compliment is sure to make her smile. The best compliments are sincere, which means you really mean it. Take a moment to study her, so you can tell her what you really do like about her. You don't have to stick to looks. You can also compliment her brains, her brilliant smile, or her sparkling wit.  For example, you could say, "The dress looks good on you!" You could also say, "You know, you're really smart! You always seem to have the right answer in class." Another option is, "You have the best hair! I love how wavy it is." Don't get too carried away. If she looks uncomfortable, then stop.

TL;DR in English: Smile at her. Talk to her. Compliment her.

Most dark poetry focuses on emotions that may be morbid or disturbing. This could be feelings of loss, loneliness, death, depression, or anxiety. Dark poetry can act as a way to release these feelings and process these emotions. Many poets find dark poetry cathartic, almost like a form of therapy. There is also a sense of longing in dark poetry, as many dark poems romanticize death or dying. Often, poets see death existing right next to life. Death may be given sexual undertones or be portrayed as a figure of romance, but in a dark way. There are many examples of dark poetry, as this genre of poetry is popular among many different poets throughout literature. You may read several examples to get a better sense of the style and tone found in dark poems, including:  “Song” by Christina Rossetti. “Minstrel Man” by Langston Hughes. "The Pond Museum" by Brandon Shimoda.  "The morning after/my death" by Etel Adnan.  "Romance Sonambulo" by Federico Garcia Lorca. Once you have read over the examples, you should think about how each poet discusses darkness or dark themes in their work. Some poets may view darkness in terms of love and loss or darkness as more of a concept, where the speaker sees darkness in everyday moments or events.  Ask yourself several questions about the poems, such as: How does the poet explore darkness in the poem? Does the poet focus on a specific moment of darkness? How does the poet use sensory detail and descriptive language to describe darkness? For example, in Rossetti’s “Song”, Rossetti asks her lover not to mourn her death, but instead to move on with their life. Rossetti romanticizes death by arguing it has no domain over her once she is gone. She also uses rhyme and rhythm to give the poem a light quality, even when it is addressing heavy themes. In comparison, Hughes’ “Minstrel Man” looks at how minstrel shows in America hide a lot of darkness in plain sight. His speaker is a minstrel man who performs racist shows for American audiences. Hughes contrasts the apparent joy and...

Check out online hiring sites for individuals with a disability. Look for a position through a temporary agency. Search government programs for employment. Think about working from home. Consider self employment.

It's quite likely that you already have the basics but just in case, here's what you need to get started:  A laptop or a desktop computer. The class will need access to approximately one per four children for this to work well.     A whiteboard or blackboard where you can write down the questions being asked. Paper and pens. This lets children take notes to share. Remember too that writing on paper has a mind and body connection that is different from typing, and many creative people insist that this connection sparks different ways of thinking, so encourage both. Webcam, microphone, creative software for graphics manipulation/videos/music making, etc. Name tags. This is optional but it might be necessary if the children are younger or don't know each other that well yet. And it can be a good way to make it clear who is the helper.

TL;DR in English: Ensure that the class has the basic equipment.

Be careful when using a sink or bathtub. Be sure to use a small amount of water.

Choose your bath spot. Fill the bath with water. Avoid cleaning agents. Provide something to climb onto.

If you’re teaching ESL, keep in mind that many of your students’ native languages are syllable-timed. Mention to students that they might be used to evenly stressing each word or every other syllable. Explain that, in English, particular words and syllables are stressed in order to convey meaning, focus, and emotion. For example, in Romance languages, such as French, Spanish, and Italian, speech is rapid and words blend into each other with little or no stress. In Mandarin, tones and pitch can change an individual word's meaning, but stress and rhythm don't impact a statement's message or the emotions it conveys. Teach students that content words are essential to a phrase’s main idea. These words are usually stressed more than function words, which are used for grammatical purposes. For instance, a toddler might use the content words “Mama, juice!” A complete, grammatically correct phrase would be, “Mama, I want some juice.” The focus word, or the most stressed word, is often the last content word of a sentence, as “juice” is in this example. Provide examples of English sentences, and use a kazoo to hum their stresses and pitch changes. This will provide clear cues for students who have trouble recognizing emphasis and rhythm in speech alone. Students can also use their own kazoos to practice stress and rhythm.  For example, hum the rhythm for “I’m having a wonderful day” and “I’m having a horrible day.” The kazoo will also come in handy when you teach students about rising and falling intonations in declarative sentences and questions. Recite a sentence with the same words, but change your emphasis with each repetition. Explain to students that changing the stressed word changes the statement’s implied meaning.  For example, “Did you go to the store?” might imply, “I asked you to go to the store and want to know if you completed this task.” “Did you go to the store?” can mean, “Did you go to the store or to some other location?” ”Did you go to the store?” implies “Was it you or someone else who went to the store?”

TL;DR in English: Compare stress-timed and syllable-timed languages. Describe the differences between content and function words. Use kazoos to show students how to stress words and syllables. Demonstrate how emphasis can change a phrase’s meaning.

Don’t use a sink or bathtub that’s shared with people, because bearded dragons will often defecate in the bath, and they can carry salmonella. Instead, try a container such as a kiddie pool or plastic bin. For a baby or juvenile bearded dragon, consider using a smaller container. Use lukewarm water that’s between 85 and 100 F (29.4 and 37.7 C). Water that’s too hot could burn your dragon, but because he is cold blooded and relies on his surroundings for warmth, a bath that’s too cold could also cause your dragon’s body to shut down.  Fill the tub with one to three inches of water. Make sure the water is no deeper than his shoulder joints (where the limbs meet the body) to prevent drowning. For babies and juveniles, use only one-half to one inch of water. Bath time for a bearded dragon is more like a swim, and you shouldn’t try to use any soaps or detergents to clean your dragon. It is unnecessary, and soap could damage his skin. Also, bearded dragons will often drink when they are bathing, and you don’t want him drinking soap. Never put your bearded dragon into chlorinated water. Bearded dragons aren’t the strongest of swimmers and can tire easily. It’s a good idea to put a rock (or something else) in the tub in case he gets tired and wants to get out of the water.

Use a chemical cleaner to dissolve the organic contaminants in the filter.

Spray any debris from the filter with a garden hose. Allow the filter to dry out completely. Shake the filter or use an air compressor to remove loose particles. Look for additional debris that needs to be removed from the filter.

. The most widely-available, cheap, and easiest to use variety of paint is watercolor, which is available either in tubes or small plastic cases with multiple color palettes. Depending on the quality of the paint, watercolors can be light and pastoral, or quite vibrant and vivid. It's a beautiful and effective way to start, especially for landscapes and whimsical still-life paintings.  In it's basic state, watercolor paint is thick and heavy, and is made workable by wetting the brush and thinning out the paint with water, or by otherwise mixing the paint with water on a palette. It's a thin and light paint, easy to work with for beginners, though somewhat difficult to control. Having a good-quality paint to start with will help to avoid frustration when you get started. Sennelier paints are watercolors available in both pan and tube form, of a much higher quality than your garden-variety school-supply watercolors. Try the pan to avoid having to buy lots of paints separately, and having the convenience of all the paint in one place. Schmincke and Windsor & Newton are also quality brands that are widely available at craft stores. . Quick-drying but just as versatile as oil paint, acrylics are the most common paint for amateurs and professional painters alike. Water-based, acrylic paints are easy to use and widely available at craft stores and specialty art shops, perfect for use with intricate details and abstract masterpieces. They're much less expensive than oil paints, but no less professional. Acrylic paints most regularly are sold in tubes, like oil paint, and can be mixed on a palette with simple water to thin out and mix to create new colors. Because it dries very quickly, it's the perfect paint to layer, creating base tones to create depth and detail in landscapes, portraits, or other pictures. .

Set your hose to a gentle spray and wash off any large debris that you can see on it. Spray the filter right away before it dries after you have removed it from the system.  When spraying down the filter, be sure to get in between the pleats on the filter. This is where a lot of large debris can collect.  Drying will allow the collected debris to set into the filter media, making it more difficult to remove later. Once you no longer see any debris on the filter, lay it out to dry. Put it in a sunny spot and let it sit until it’s totally dry.  The amount of time it takes for the filter to dry completely will vary. It could take an hour or two in hot weather or several days if the weather is cool or humid. Preferably put the filter in bright sunshine, which will be most effective at killing algae and bacteria that is in it. Hold the filter with one hand and clean the surface with your other hand. This can be done by tapping the filter on the ground, brushing it with a stiff brush, or using compressed air to blow debris out of the creases of the filter. Even simply tapping or brushing the filter after it has dried in the sun will reduce the amount of organic contaminants that need to be broken down in the chemical soak. If spraying down the filter and using air or shaking to get rid of debris doesn't get the filter totally clean, you may need to use additional cleaning methods. However, if the filter is visually very clean at this point, it can be put back in the filtration system.  If the filter looks oily, which can occur due to the use of sunscreen, then a chemical cleaner should be used. If there are mineral deposits on the filter, which can appear as dusty, white areas, then an acid bath should be used to dissolve them.

Navigate to your iPod's Home Screen. Tap and hold an app you wish to move. Drag the app around the Home Screen. Press the Home button.

If you have a sarcastic comment you can deploy in many different situations, practice it regularly on different people to memorize it.  For instance, when someone asks a common question like, “What’s up?” you might reply with “The sky.”  The frequency with which you should practice your sarcastic comments depends on the strength of your memory.  If you can memorize the sarcastic comment after practicing it two or three times daily, there’s no need to practice it more than that. If you need to practice your sarcastic comment more often before you can memorize it, do so. If your comment regularly gets eye-rolls, don’t use it anymore or use it less often.  If you have a go-to sarcastic comment that seems to be a big hit, work it into regular use. Remember, even good sarcasm can be overused. The best sarcastic answers or comments will draw on your deep knowledge of your audience and their preferences, attitudes, and beliefs.  Think carefully about how you can work your immediate situation and the conversation of others into a clever, sarcastic comment. For instance, imagine you and your friend Joe are big fans of the Hulk.  If Joe accidentally breaks a bunch of fragile dishes, you might say sarcastically, “You saved the day again, Hulk!” Spending time listening to people who are well-practiced in sarcasm will help you be more sarcastic, too.  Pay attention to when and how they utilize sarcasm.  Listen to the inflection in their voice and the facial expressions they use when being sarcastic. Being sarcastic takes time, focus, and experience.  As you exercise your sarcasm “muscles,” you will become better at being sarcastic.  Keep trying to use sarcasm, even if you tell a few jokes that others think are not very funny.

TL;DR in English: Practice your sarcastic comments. Take note of the reactions you get when practicing a particular sarcastic comment. Be creative. Talk to sarcastic people. Don’t be afraid to fail.

To do so, press the Home button on any screen.  If you have an app open, press Home once to minimize it and once to open the Home Screen. If the screen you're currently on doesn't move, you're already on the Home Screen. Doing so will cause all of your apps to begin wiggling, meaning they are now movable. You can drag the app between two apps to place it between them, or you can drag an app to the right edge of the Home Screen to place it on a subsequent page.  If you only have one page on your iPod touch, dragging an app to the edge of the screen will create a new page. Once the apps are wiggling, you can move any of them. This will cause your apps to stop wiggling, thereby cementing your apps' new locations.

Help find the owner. Get the cat checked out by a veterinarian. Find a home for the cat or kitten.

Start to leave out extra kitten food. Provide water. Put down kitten food for hand-reared kittens. Socialize your kittens by introducing them to new things. Provide non-clumping litter. Keep the cat inside until it has all its shots. Give kittens away responsibly.

Ask around your neighborhood to see if anyone has lost their cat. Cats that get outside can get lost or roam around. Make some calls to local veterinary clinics and pet stores to see if anyone is missing a cat; taking a photo with your phone and making up fliers or posting to social media sites can also help reunite a stray cat with its owners. If the cat is feral instead of stray, it will not have an owner to be returned to. Once you are able to approach the cat and pet it, make an appointment with your veterinarian to have the cat examined and neutered or spayed. If funds are tight, call your local humane society to see if there are any funds available to assist with these costs.  The cat will have a tiny bit of blood drawn to test for the feline leukemia virus. If the results are positive your veterinarian will discuss options with you, which include isolating the cat from other cats for its life or euthanasia. If it is negative, a fecal sample will be looked at to determine if the cat has intestinal parasites and it will be given the appropriate medication. In addition, the veterinarian will check for fleas and ticks and treat if needed. Vaccines (rabies, distemper, and possibly feline leukemia) will be given and its sterilization operation will be performed. A microchip may also be placed under the skin if so desired. This is highly recommended. Now you will have a healthy pet to take home after its operation and vaccinations. Your hard work will pay off knowing you have saved another cat from a harsh life on the street. Either adopt the cat yourself or find another loving home for it to go to.

TL;DR in English: Help find the cat's owner. Get the cat checked out by a veterinarian. Find a home for the cat or kitten.

If Mom's around, the weaning process (switching from mother's milk to solid food) happens naturally from about four weeks. At this point, Mom gets tired of the kittens chewing on her teats and starts to spend time apart from them. In turn, the hungry kittens investigate food options around them and usually discover Mom's food. As the kittens start to take mouthfuls of her food, they begin the weaning process. Kittens do not need water until they start weaning, roughly around four weeks old. Any kitten above this age, however, should have constant access to a full water bowl. Change this water whenever it gets dirty (as it tends to if kittens step and/or poop in the bowl). If you've been bottle-feeding the kittens yourself, the weaning process is similar. It sometimes helps to put some milk-replacer in a saucer and put your finger just beneath the surface to teach the kitten to lap first. Then, it's a matter of mashing up some wet kitten food with the milk-replacer to make a porridge for the kitten to lap. As she gets the hang of that you can thicken up the porridge until she's happily taking most of her calories in solid form. Socialization is crucial during the three-to-nine-week window. From two to three weeks of age, handle the kittens as much as possible every day. Introduce them to different sights and sounds, such as the vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, men with beards, children . . . anything you can think of. During this six-week window the kitten is most open to new experiences, and what she encounters now she will accept without question as an adult, making her into a happy, well-adjusted and sociable cat.  Use cat toys, balls, string, or other objects to play with them, but don't use objects small enough for them to swallow. (Note that cats may eat string or yarn if left unsupervised, so only allow this in your interactive play. It's a potential choking hazard.) Don't teach your kittens that human fingers and hands are toys, or the kitten may continue to bite and scratch them as an adult. Choose a spot...
