Document the abuse. Reach out to community resources. Prepare a "go" bag. Identify your emergency contacts. Don't tell your wife where you are. File for a  divorce if you suspect your wife will continue the abuse.

If the dial was bumped, it could have made it too warm for the refrigerator to turn on. It's important to check both the refrigerator and the freezer temperature settings, because the refrigerator gets its cold from the freezer. A problem with the freezer setting will affect the refrigerator as well. It should be set between 37 and 40º F (3-4ºC) for the refrigerator and between 0-5ºF (-15 to -18ºC) for the freezer. Check the space between the walls and the appliance. There should be a 3-inch (76.2 mm) gap around the sides of the appliance and at least a 1-inch (25.4 mm) gap at the top. This provides airflow needed for the machine to function. This part helps dissipate heat that could make the appliance act funny. This cleaning should be done with the appliance turned off. You should clean rear-mounted coils once a year, and floor coils twice a year. Unplug the refrigerator for 2 hours and then plug it back in. If it starts running "normally" again, the compressor is overheating and it should be checked by a repair technician. Use a multimeter to test each component for continuity. These include the temperature control, the evaporator fan, the defrost timer, the overload protector and the compressor motor. You may have to consult your owner's manual for the locations of the components. If a part does not have continuity, it is faulty and will need to be replaced.

TL;DR in English: Check your temperature gauge inside the appliance. Make sure there's proper airflow around the appliance. Clean the condenser coils with a vacuum or brush. Test for overheating and continuity.

It's important to obtain evidence that the abuse is happening. Doing so will help build a case against your wife, and ensure that you're not the one who's accused of abuse.  Write down dates and times when the abuse happens. Take photographs of your injury and see a doctor to have the incident included in your medical record. If another adult witnessed the abuse, ask for an account for your records. If your wife sends abusive text messages or emails, save them. If the abuse is emotional, try to describe what your wife does in as much detail as you can. Contact local domestic violence programs to see if they can offer help in getting away from your abusive wife. Many such programs cater to women. However, you should be able to locate some community programs that assist men, if you are a male victim of domestic violence.  Such programs can help you plan your escape, offer support, and provide legal aid so that you can obtain an order of protection against your wife. If you have children, they may help you get temporary custody (as long as the abuse is well-documented). For more help finding resources, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. In the heat of the moment, you won't be able to gather the practical items needed to leave your wife. Instead, pack bags containing what you and your children will need ahead of time.  Your bags might include clothing, cash, and important documents, such as insurance cards and birth certificates. If you plan to take your children, go over the exit plan with them ahead of time. Consider their ages when explaining the purpose of the plan to them. Think about where you will go and who you will call when you decide to leave your abusive wife. Prepare a list of emergency phone numbers and contact info for your close friends and family. Let your emergency contacts know your exit plan. You might need to get a person to pick you up if you don't have a vehicle. Then, you will need to determine where you will go, such as a shelter or the home of a relative....

Sketch a simple circle with an oval for the mouth and two round-sided triangles for the ears. Make sure the head isn't too oversized for your paper since you still have to fit in the rest of the cheetah's body in proportion to it. There should be two concentric arcs swooping from the snout to the ears, as well as small circles for the eye(s)/nose and a line to depict a slight snarl. Use shapes as guides for it. Draw three ovals: a small one for the neck, a large one for the upper body, and a medium one for the back. Add in circles to connect these shapes. Remember, a cheetah's body is longer in comparison to other big cats, so incorporate that into your drawing. Each leg has three ovals again, a large one at the top and two smaller ones at the bottom. Draw larger versions of these for the back legs. Don't forget to add a long tail! At this point, you might be running out of room on the page, so if you want your cheetah's tail can be raised up in alarm or curled between his legs. Don't forget to add its trademark spots! The image here displays generous application of fairly small spots onto the cheetah, but they can be as big/little/plentiful/sparse as you like. And in fact, they don't even need to be spots, since some cheetahs have splotchy markings and some don't have any pattern on their coats all.  After that erase anything outside your black line. Use yellow/gold for the majority of the body, with dark brown/black for the spots. You're done!

You will have to designate your barbershop as one of three different types of businesses.  Each of these has different tax structures and regulatory guidelines.  Consult an accountant or financial planner to help you determine which type of business is best.  If you plan on being the sole owner and operator of your shop, you should found your barbershop as a sole proprietorship. If you intend to act as the head barber and hire a staff of other barbers to help out, your best bet is to establish your shop as an LLC (a limited liability corporation). If you intend to start a large barbershop business with multiple locations, a large staff, and investors, you should establish your shop as a corporation. once you know what sort of business you want to form.  The process by which you obtain and complete your business license varies depending on your local laws and regulations.  In some cases, the business license can be obtained from your city government, while in other cases you'll have to apply for a business license through your county government.  The license application often requires information about the address where you want to open your shop, the estimated cost of the lease, and the type of business you want to open. The business license is different than the barber's license.  The barber's license enables you to work as a barber, while the business license is necessary for you to own and operate a business. For instance, in some places you might need a license for playing background music in your shop.  You might also need a health license to prove you understand how to keep your combs and clippers clean. Ask the licensing authority if they recommend or know of additional licenses you might require at the local, state, or national level. Even if you aren't legally required to get insurance, you should get it anyway.  You'll want to get various types of insurance, including:  Liability and accident insurance to protect you from client lawsuits Fire, flood, and other types of insurance to protect your building

There are brokers who specialize in residential real estate, commercial real estate, national real estate, international real estate or a combination. It's best to specialize in a particular real estate niche as opposed to trying to market your brokerage as a "one size fits all" business. Does the market in your community justify the existence of your business? How much of a demand is there in your area for the real estate services that you'll be providing? Is that demand expected to grow over the next several years? What are the overall prospects for the real estate market in your vicinity? Who are your competitors and how effective are they at market penetration? How much money do you expect to make over the next five years with your real estate brokerage business? How can you justify those earnings? How much do you plan on growing each year over the next five years? Answering these questions may be difficult, but they are crucial in determining whether or not you can realistically expect to stay in business for long. .

The best tomatoes for pico de gallo are plum tomatoes. They have great flavor, a meaty texture, and contain less liquid than other types of tomatoes.  Look for plum tomatoes that are bright red and firm to the touch. Do not use overly ripe tomatoes as they contain a lot of liquid and will water down the pico de gallo. If plum tomatoes aren't available at your grocery store, dry-farmed tomatoes are another good option.  Use a sharp knife to dice the tomatoes into small cubes. Use a sharp knife to cut the onion into very fine pieces.  Most Mexican cooks use white onions in salsas, as white onions have a sharper taste than red or yellow onions. The sharp taste balances out nicely with the tomatoes in the pico de gallo.  If you can only find red or green onions, feel free to use them instead. Place the diced onions in a bowl and add the juice of half the lime to them. The acid in the lime will tame some of the sharpness in the onions. Use a sharp knife to finely chop up the garlic clove. Add the garlic to the bowl with the onions.  You can also use a garlic press, if available. Not all pico de gallo recipes use garlic, so if you don't like the taste of raw garlic, feel free to leave this ingredient out. Remove the leaves from the stems and chop them into fine pieces. Cilantro is not everyone's favorite herb. But it is a key element of a good pico de gallo, so be sure to add at least a little cilantro to the dish. If cilantro is not your thing, start with half the amount of cilantro called for and substitute the rest with parsley. It's important to remove the seeds from the peppers as they can be very hot.  Depending on the spiciness of the pepper, you can add as little as two peppers or as many as four peppers. Keep in mind Serrano peppers are spicier than Jalapeno peppers.

Before you ask, look for signs that they have a crush on you. At best, this will give you confidence as you prepare to ask them. At worst, you'll have a realistic idea of their feelings.  Watch for changes in your friendship. Does your friend act differently around you? Maybe they laugh more at your jokes or seem shyer. Significant changes in their behavior could mean they've developed feelings for you, especially if they seem nervous or excited. If you're bad at reading the signs, ask a mutual friends! Have a conversation about your best friend with them. Casually ask if they know whether your friend likes anyone. Sometimes a second opinion offers an excellent perspective. Unless you ask them, you can't know one way or the other. Don't assume you know for sure until you have talked to them. Running through your plan before will save you from awkward moments later. If talking aloud helps, try practicing with a friend or in a mirror. Getting the words out can help you visualize the situation better. Prepare for the various ways they might respond. What will you do if they say they like you? What if they don't? What if they refuse to respond? You don't have to be a mind reader, but work through multiple outcomes. Facing your fears before you ask them the question can save you stress and anxiety. Maybe they don't like you, they feel uncomfortable, or they don't want to be your friend anymore. Is asking them still worth it? If so, ask them anyways. No matter what happens, you might feel relief after. Even if your worst-case scenario happens, you'll know their answer for sure. Only you can decide whether the risk is worth it. Think about when and where you and your friend are together. Determine what circumstances would be ideal to ask them in. You will not want to ask them if they like you spontaneously.  Ask them out in person, if you can. While asking through a text or phone call can seem comfortable, you'll appear more sincere in person. Where is just as important as when. Find a place that is quiet and...

There is nothing either of you can do to change the fact that she's taller. Think about what is really important in a relationship--Do you get along? Do you have chemistry? Do you have similar interests? Don't let something superficial and beyond your control ruin what could potentially be a wonderful, fulfilling partnership.  Think about who actually cares about your height difference. Are you afraid people are going to laugh or make comments? Don't let other people's pettiness stop you from finding happiness. If you truly can't get over the fact that she's taller than you, you may have some soul-searching to do. Ask yourself why it matters to you and if it truly makes a difference in the quality of your connection with someone. If she turns you down because you're not tall enough, then forget about her. If she's not willing to see beyond a superficial difference, you're better off finding someone else. You may think it's cute or cheeky to tease her about her height--opening with a line like "What's the weather like up there?" or "Wow, do you play basketball? Can you dunk?"--is going to make you look insecure and make her feel awkward or even angry. She knows she's tall, and she's probably heard those lame jokes a million times. Make it clear you're interested in getting to know her and her personality and that you're not hung up on something superficial like her height.  One tall lady suggests treating a tall woman's height as you would a woman with an ample chest--even if it's part of her appeal, you would never walk up to a woman with large breasts and ask about her bra size.  Unless she brings it up first, don't mention her height until you've gotten to know each other. Then you can tell her how her long legs are super sexy.  If she addresses your height difference, tell her you don't think it's an issue. Let her know you think it's an asset, but it's not something you spend a lot of time worrying about.

Lift up the hair of the doll if it has a wig. Most antique dolls will have a manufacturer's mark on the back of the head, or on the base of the neck.  If the doll doesn't have a manufacturer's mark anywhere and you still suspect that it could be antique, contact a professional doll appraiser for help. Although the mark is most commonly on the back of the head or neck, they can be located anywhere on the body. Check the back, under the arms, or on the bottom of the feet. This mark will often have the the location where the doll was made, the brand or maker's name, and the size of the doll. The interpretation of the size numbering differs between each brand and maker of dolls. The manufacturer's mark will often give you all of the information that you need to identify the doll. Visit your local library, or use a search engine to find a doll reference website that uses the manufacturer's information to identify the doll.  These guides will also give you information about the value of the doll. This is the most accurate way of identifying the doll, as it can be difficult to rely solely on the appearance. If finding or interpreting the manufacturer's label is difficult, contact a doll appraiser for help. They will be able to identify the type, era, and value of the doll accurately.

Lay a straight edge on the bottom shelf of the cabinet. Move the straight-edge on to the bottom shelf. Measure the actual height of the cabinet opening (from the surface of the bottom shelf). Make new reference marks. Take measurements from between your reference marks.

This method (freezing the lesion with liquid nitrogen) is the same process often used to remove warts from the skin. This method may leave scars. This kind of treatment is often good at eliminating the top lesion itself. And since that is where the virus lives in the body, this can help get rid of the outbreaks altogether. This is where the fluid from the bump is removed by piercing the core and scraping the underlying material. This method can also leave scars.  Again, do not consider doing this yourself. While it may sound easy to do, you might unintentionally infect other parts of your body with the lesion fluid or transmit it to others in the process. You could also cause a bacterial infection in the skin by scratching or scraping yourself. With this kind of treatment, a dermatologist uses a specialized laser to target and eliminate the bumps on your skin. Though effective, this treatment can sometimes be painful. This could also be an effective method of treatment for people with weakened immune systems.

Measure the inside surface of the cabinet, by first laying a straight-edge face flat on the bottom shelf of the cabinet with one end of the straight-edge sticking out of the cabinet a few inches.  Slowly close the cabinet door until it is lightly touching the straight-edge. Mark a pencil mark on the door where it touches the straight-edge. Move the straight-edge over at least a couple of inches and make a second mark. Now, place your straight-edge on the bottom shelf with its face against the vertical stile (vertical piece of the face frame) opposite the hinged edge of the door.  As before, it should stick out a few inches. Hold it as parallel with the side of the cabinet as possible so it’s close to 90 degrees to the face frame of the cabinet. Again, slowly close the door until it just touches the straight-edge. Mark a pencil mark on the door where it touches the straight edge. Raise the straight-edge at least a few inches and make a second mark. From the pencil mark near the bottom of the door, use that measurement and make a pencil mark at that point near the top of the door, then make a second one a few inches apart from the first one. You should now have two marks near the bottom of the door, two near the top, and two along the opened edge of the door. Create new reference marks by measuring up ½” from the bottom marks, ½” down from the top marks, and ½” in toward the center of the door from the vertical edge marks.  From the new reference marks you just made, line them up with a straight-edge and connect them with a pencil line. Do this along all three edges. These lines represent the size of your piece of sheet metal. Measure the spaces between your reference marks be sure you stay BETWEEN the hinges and the outer line on the door.  By taking these measurements once, you have established the vertical measurement for all the cabinets of the same height in your kitchen. For cabinets of different widths, measure from the outer edge of the “model” door to the vertical pencil line. Measure that same...

Lead is an element that has served useful purposes from plumbing to paint and beyond for centuries, but the dangers of excessive lead levels in the body have become apparent in recent decades.  Lead is a neurotoxin that can cause behavioral, developmental, and learning difficulties.  It is therefore particularly dangerous for children and their developing brains. See the handout created by an agency of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (available at http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/ToxProfiles/tp13-c1-b.pdf) for detailed information about lead, how it enters the body, how it impacts the body, and how to limit exposure. Yes, 400 out of 400 cosmetics tested by the FDA in 2010 contained lead (and a separate major study also got a 100% result).  And yes, lead is a toxic substance.  That said, among the most likely sources for dangerous levels of lead exposure, your cosmetics are pretty low on the list.  Continuing to use cosmetics is unlikely to significantly alter the amount of lead in your body, and pitching all your cosmetics will not protect you from possible lead exposure from more likely sources.  You are more likely to be exposed to higher levels of lead by way of water carried through old pipes, houses built before 1978 with flaking paint, and airborne dust near industrial sites, to name some examples.  Often with good intentions, some individuals and groups have resorted to scare tactics in order to advocate for the removal of all traces of lead from cosmetics.  You may have gotten emails before that say cosmetics companies intentionally use lead because it lowers their costs, and that lead causes cancer. In reality, most lead in cosmetics occurs as a natural contaminant, and the possible links between lead exposure and certain cancers are still unclear. On one hand, then, you have organizations like the FDA that state that the small amounts of lead found in cosmetics are of no real health concern.  On the other hand, you have advocacy groups and some researchers who focus on the fact...

A reflex angle has more than 180 degrees but fewer than 360. This means that if you look at the reflex angle, you'll also see an acute angle inside the rays of the reflex angle. By determining the degrees of the acute angle, you can calculate the degrees in the reflex angle. You can use the basic slope equation and the inverse tangent function on your scientific calculator to find the degrees in the acute angle. Line up the short end of your ruler with the ray of the angle that is horizontal rather than diagonal. Then draw a vertical line that meets the horizontal ray of the angle. The horizontal line becomes the adjacent side of your triangle, and the vertical line becomes the opposite side of the acute angle you want to measure. In the equation "slope = rise/run," the rise is the length of the vertical line, or opposite side of your triangle. The run is the length of the horizontal line, or adjacent side of your triangle. Measure the horizontal line from the vertex to the point where it meets the vertical line. Measure the vertical line from the point where it meets the horizontal line to the point where it meets the diagonal line. Plug the values you found for the length of the vertical and horizontal lines into your slope equation. When you divide the length of the vertical line by the length of the horizontal line, you'll get the slope for the angle. For example, if your horizontal line measured 8 and your vertical line measured 4, your equation would be "slope = 4/8." The slope of your angle would be 0.5. Type the value you got for the slope of the angle into your scientific calculator, then press the inverse tangent button (tan-1). The value displayed is the degrees of the smaller acute angle. To continue the example, if your slope is 0.5, the acute angle would measure 26.565 degrees. A circle has 360 degrees. Since a reflex angle is an angle of more than 180 degrees, you relate it as a portion of a circle. The degrees of the reflex angle and the degrees of the smaller acute angle would add up to 360....

TL;DR in English: Identify the smaller acute angle associated with the reflex angle. Draw a vertical line connecting the rays of the acute angle. Measure the rise and the run of the acute angle. Divide rise by run to find the slope of the acute angle. Use your calculator to find the degrees of the acute angle. Subtract the degrees of the acute angle from 360.

Select the type and size of paper you’d like to use for the pages you’ll write on in your diary. Use simple printer paper, colored paper, scrapbook paper, or any other lined or unlined style of your choosing.  For a thinner diary or one with threaded binding, fold larger pieces in half and stack them inside one another so you have a set of several folded pages. Note that this will work best with 10 folded pieces of paper (called folios) or less, though you could attach several of these together.  You may want to trim the outer edges of the paper when doing the folio method, as the inside folios will stick out further than the outer ones. For a thicker diary or one with a glued binding, keep a stack of paper flat with the edges lined up evenly. Gather together a stack of paper that you want to use for the pages of your diary and make sure the edges are lined up evenly. Hold them together with binder clips and apply glue to the edge where you want the spine to be.  Place scraps of paper under the binder clips to protect your paper from becoming indented or marked by them. Use a paintbrush or foam brush to apply a light layer of PVA or Elmer’s Glue to the edge of the stack you want to bind, where the spine of the diary will be. Let dry and apply more coats if necessary.  Glue the bound edge of the paper to a cover made of heavy paper, cardstock, fabric, etc. Or, create a quick and easy spine with some colorful duct tape or similar heavy tape over the glued edge of the paper.

If you’re standing up, try sitting down to dispel your anger. Sitting, lying down, or otherwise attempting to make yourself comfortable can help trigger your brain to help you relax. Your body associates relaxed postures with being relaxed.  If you are standing during a confrontation with another person, you could say, “Let’s sit down and try to work this out.” If you can’t sit down, try not to pace or tense your body. Soften your stance as much as possible. You can also try visualizing yourself relaxing on your bed or sitting in your favorite comfortable chair. Stretching can help relax your muscles and release tension. Even just a minute or two of gentle stretching could help you relax and re-center yourself. Focus on the areas where you normally hold tension, such as in your neck, jaw, or shoulders, and work on loosening up the muscles in these areas. You could also try yoga to relax. If you are familiar with some poses, take a minute to do one that you find relaxing and centering. If you are unfamiliar with yoga, try taking a class to learn some great stretches! Spend a few minutes walking to calm down. Getting outside is ideal, but if you can’t, walk around your office, home, or school. Aerobic activity can help lower your stress levels in just a few minutes.  Exercising daily can help your stress levels stay lower all day, even before you get angry. You could get into the habit of taking a walk every morning or evening. If walking isn’t your favorite activity, you could try some other aerobic exercise to receive the same stress-reduction benefits, such as biking, running, or swimming. If you find yourself unable to remain calm in the situation, excuse yourself from the person or environment before you lose your temper. Figure out where you could go for a few minutes to collect yourself, or schedule another time to deal with the situation if possible. Just make sure to come back to the discussion. Don’t use the break as an excuse to abandon the conversation altogether.   You could say, “I need to excuse...

Warm up vanilla extract instead of coffee to create a sweeter smell. Put a bowl of cloves in the microwave overnight to add a spicy aroma instead of heating something up. Heat up a covered bowl of berries if you want your microwave to smell fruity.

This can be a simple “thank you again for the gift,” but this gesture will remind the reader of your note why you wrote to them in the first place. This step may be skipped if your closing (in the next step) is “with gratitude” or “thanks again.” Your relationship with the gift giver will help determine the appropriate closing before your signature.  Close friends or relatives may be signed “Love, [your name].  Other options are: “best wishes,” “sincerely,” “warmly,” “best,” “thanks again,” or “with gratitude.” This may not be your full legal name.  If you are writing a letter to your child, you might sign it with “Mom,” for example.  If the person generally calls you by just your first name or a nickname, it is appropriate to sign that name.  You may wish to sign your full name, however, when writing letters to acquaintances or co-workers. Place the note in an envelope, write the recipient’s address on the outside of the envelope (be sure the address is current), put the appropriate postage on the envelope, and put the note in the mail.

TL;DR in English: Thank the giver again. End the note appropriately. Sign your name. Mail the note promptly.

Heat a mixture of 4 teaspoons (20 mL) of vanilla extract and 2 cups (0.47 L) of water for at least 2 minutes, or until it’s boiling and creating steam. Don’t take the bowl out right away—while the mixture is still hot, let the steam spread throughout the microwave to overwhelm all of the bad odors. Wait at least half an hour before removing the bowl and dumping out the mixture. Remove any extra moisture from the microwave by wiping it out with a cloth or paper towel. Pour 27.5 grams (0.97 oz) of cloves into a container and set it inside the microwave. There’s no heating involved for this method—instead, you’ll shut the door and leave the cloves to sit all night. The closed microwave door allows the spicy aroma of cloves to fill your microwave and cancel out any bad smells. Take a mixture of your favorite berries and place them in a small container. Secure the top of the bowl with plastic wrap, and microwave the berries for several minutes. As the fruit heats up, their scent will begin to spread through the microwave, thus cancelling out any bad odors.  You can use any kind of berry for this. Make sure you like the scent of whichever fruit you choose to microwave. Try to keep the plastic wrap from touching any of the berries. This helps keep the berries smelling fresh, even if the plastic wrap melts.

Put your pots, pans, water bottles, and other gear outside as soon as the rain begins. You may also set up a tarp to funnel water into one of these objects. Many people forget to drink adequate amounts of water when the rain starts, and you’ll need to do this if you can’t get back to civilization before you run out.  Always purify the water with a filter, if possible. Avoid collecting water running off of trees or rocks. This water is already dirty. Open flames should never be near tents or tarps. Set your stove outside the door of your tent or under a tarp, making sure the tarp is elevated far above the flames. Never cook inside the tent, since it’ll put you at risk for fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. If an emergency forces you to cook inside the tent, do it at the entrance with the tent’s flaps pulled as far away as possible. Hypothermia is a serious health hazard and must be treated immediately. Get the person out of wet clothing. Cover them with any warm clothing, blankets, and sleeping bags you have. If possible, get them medical attention right away. Hypothermia is a loss of body heat, so look for signs of constant shivering, hyperventilating, tiredness, and pale skin. Wet rocks, muddy trails, and grassy or mossy slopes all become more dangerous in the rain. Avoid them as much as possible, whether you’re hiking or walking around in camp. Wait for them to dry before you begin hiking again. Be sure to wear hiking boots with plenty of ankle support when around these areas.

TL;DR in English: Collect rainwater by leaving out open bottles. Keep cooking fires away from the tent and tarps. Warm up anyone who seems to be suffering from hypothermia. Stay away from rocks or other slippery ground.

regularly to boost your memory and cognitive function. Try to exercise for 30 minutes on at least 5 days each week to keep your mind sharp. You can also try working out right before you start memorizing for extra brain-boosting benefits.  You don't have to get in a long workout to reap the benefits of exercise for better memorization. Even taking a 15-minute walk before you start studying can help.  Doing 20 minutes of yoga before working on memorizing something is another great way to boost your brain function. Green tea has been show to boost cognitive function more than other types of beverages. Make yourself a cup of regular or decaf green tea and sip it before or during your study session. The extra boost of caffeine in regular green tea may also be helpful. You can drink green tea hot or iced. Avoid multitasking while you memorize, such as checking your social media accounts or texting friends. This will interfere with your ability to focus on the task at hand. Put away your phone, turn off the TV, and ask members of your household not to disturb you while you are studying. If you have trouble staying focused, try setting small goals and rewarding yourself with a short break each time you meet one of them. For example, you could make it your goal to focus on studying for 25 minutes, and then reward yourself with a 5 minute break. Afternoon may be the time when you feel the least alert, but it has also been shown to be a potent time to work on memorizing new information. If you have been struggling to remember the material you are studying, try memorizing it in the afternoon instead of in the morning or at night. For example, you could work on memorizing at around 2 or 3 pm. before you start memorizing. Being well-rested has a far-reaching impact on your ability to memorize. To give yourself the best possible chance of retaining information, go to bed early enough to get a full 8 hours of sleep.  Try going to bed a little earlier than you normally do, such as 10:00 pm if you normally got to bed at 10:30...

Make sure you have a good grounding. If you have a bad grounding, you may need to replace the speaker wires.

Know your amplifier. Know the layout of your equipment. Connect the amp to the first speaker. Connect the amp to the second speaker.

If you are blogging about fashion, travel or food, then you can choose interesting or attractive themes related to this, which helps to attract readers. Try to make a simple, stylish and professional design. The very basics of this is knowing which keywords to focus on. These are what people are searching for in the search engines, and how they might find your blog. Some of these keywords get a lot more searches than others get, so it's in your best interest to eventually choose the ones that do get searched for often. Keep in mind that these are often more competitive than ones that are searched for less -- but you might get lucky. Choose a big one that will take longer to reach, as well as three to four additional terms you're going to try to rank for. These should all be similar! Then, you're going to include these keywords in each blog post you make in various combinations. Always focus your posts on one term, and include the others only if they make sense. As you focus on these similar keywords the search engines will start to rank you more highly because your blog is tightly focused and relevant to what you're targeting. A lot of ranking decisions are based on how many backlinks you have coming into your website. You can get these links by writing articles to submit to directories, writing guest blog posts on other high traffic blogs, using social networking sites, using social bookmarking sites, and buying links (be very careful with this tactic).

TL;DR in English: Design your blog. Learn about search engine optimization (SEO). Focus your efforts on these keywords for now. Do what you can to get relevant links that point to your homepage and your individual posts.

Just like method 1, you must figure out if your four-channel amplifier can be bridged. Taking all the same precautions, be sure to consult the amplifier manual or research your amp model online to be sure it can be bridged. On your four-channel amp, you should see 8 terminals: channels 1 through 4 each have a positive (+) and negative (-) terminal.  Each terminal will be labeled as follows:  Channel 1  "A" (positive) "B" (negative)   Channel 2  "C" (positive) "D" (negative)   Channel 3  "E" (positive) "F" (negative)   Channel 4  "G" (positive) "H" (negative) From the wires coming out of the speaker, connect the positive speaker lead to terminal A (the positive for channel 1) and connect the negative speaker lead to terminal D (the negative for channel 2). Again, just like bridging a two-channel amplifier, connect these speaker wires to the amplifier by unscrewing the screw in that whichever terminal you are connecting the wire to, place the wire in between the top and bottom portions of the terminal, and then screw the screw down tightly to secure the wire. Once the wires are secured, the first speaker is connected to the amplifier. Following the previous method, again take the wires coming from the second speaker, but this time, connect the positive speaker lead to terminal E (the positive for channel 3) and connect the negative speaker lead to terminal H (the negative for channel 4).

After bathing your dog, brush the vinegar through the dog's coat. It will improve the shine of your dog’s coat and will act as a deodorant. Do not use if your dog’s skin is dry, broken, or otherwise irritated. Treating your dog's skin this way will help prevent dry skin and itchiness. The antibacterial properties of apple cider vinegar make it an option to clean out a dog's ears. It will help to prevent infection and ward off parasites that are susceptible to the acid in ACV. Soak a small cotton ball or piece of clean cloth in the vinegar and gently wipe your dog's ears as carefully as you can. Be aware that ACV's astringent properties may sting your dog's ears or cause the delicate skin of the ear canal to dry out. If your dog spends a lot of time romping around during the summer, using ACV may keep fleas away. Mix two cups of water and two cups of ACV in a clean spray bottle. Once a week, spray your dog's fur with the mixture. Although not scientifically proven to get rid of flea, the acidic taste of the vinegar may repel fleas and other parasites. If your dog dislikes being sprayed, dip a washcloth into the mixture and rub your dog's coat. There is no need to rinse your dog afterward. The smell will dissipate after the ACV dries. If your dog has a case of fleas, you can drown them by using a mixture of soapy water and ACV. The soapy water washes the fleas away and the ACV is anecdotally reported to keep them from coming back. Make a mixture of 1/4 cup dish soap, 1/2 gallon water and 1/2 gallon ACV.  Put on long sleeves and gloves. Before you start treating your dog, it's important to protect your own skin from flea bites. Work outside if you're dealing with live fleas and ticks. Bathe your dog in the solution. Avoid getting the solution in its eyes. Cover every part of its fur and use your fingers to work the solution all the way to the skin. You want to work up a good lather to help kill the fleas. Let the solution sit on your dog for ten minutes. If it's a particularly bad infestation, have a second...

A sound time-management strategy during tests is to answer the easy questions first.  The idea is that you will quickly work through these questions, probably quicker than you had budgeted for, allowing you extra time to work on the more difficult sections. The issue with this strategy, versus working through every section as budgeted, is that you might skip a question thinking that it’s more difficult than it is.  You also run the risk of not returning to questions that you’ve skipped. After you’ve answered the easy questions, focus your time on the questions that are worth the most points.  It makes more sense to spend 10 minutes on 1 question worth 20 points than to spend 10 minutes on 10 questions worth only 1 point each.  In other words, 20 points for one question is worth more time than 10 points for 10 questions. Your exam should clearly state the value or percentage of each question or section.  If you’re unsure, ask your proctor. Make sure that you wear a watch so that you can stick to your time budget.  You won’t be able to bring a cell phone in the test with you, and there may not be a clock on the wall, so you’ll need to remember your own time piece. You’ve studied, you’ve practiced, you’ve read through the test, you’ve budgeted your time, and there  is no reason to rush yourself.  You might be feeling a little anxious or want to hurry up and get the test over with, but time management is about pacing yourself.  So, pace yourself.  Don’t rush, as you’ll run the risk of making a critical mistake, and stick to your game plan. After you complete a section, give yourself a few seconds to pause and breathe before you move on.  This helps you pace yourself, allows you to make sure that you’re managing your time effectively, and helps you mentally move from one task to another. No matter how prepared you are for this test and how well you’ve planned to manage your time, something can go wrong.  This isn’t the end of the world, though, and shouldn’t derail your schedule at all.  Plan for some problems,...

You must leave the country in order to qualify for duty-free shopping, often for a minimum span of time. In the United States, for example, you must leave the country for at least 48 hours if you wish to take full advantage of U.S. duty-free stores. However, you may be able to purchase some quantities of duty-free goods if you're traveling for less than that time span. U.S. citizens may purchase a reduced quantity of duty-free goods if they've spent less than 48 hours in Canada, for example, and Canadian citizens may purchase a limited quantity of duty-free goods after any length of time in the United States.  U.S. citizens traveling to Canada for under 48 hours may bring back up to $200 (U.S. Dollars) worth of goods per person without paying taxes or duties. However, alcohol and tobacco may be subject to duties and taxes if it was purchased on a brief trip. U.S. citizens who spend more than 48 hours in Canada may bring back up to $800 in goods per person, and will not have to pay taxes or duties on up to one liter (33.8 fluid ounces) of alcohol, one carton of 200 cigarettes, and 100 cigars. You may purchase up to the legal amount of goods in the duty-free store, though that amount will vary depending on where you are traveling and how long you will be gone. Product limitations are generally applied to high-tax items like alcohol and tobacco, though an overall limit is usually in place at most international borders.  Most product-specific limitations restrict travelers to bringing back one liter (33.8 fluid ounces) of alcohol and one carton of cigarettes per person per trip. At the U.S./Canadian border, individuals may only bring up to $800 in goods per month. If you and one or more family members who reside at the same address travel together, you can collectively bring a total of $1,600 worth of goods per month per household. You may exceed the allowance of goods you're able to bring back duty free. However, you will have to pay taxes/duties on those goods that exceed your allowance. How you pay will depend...

The library is a great place to help students develop an interest in reading and learning. Allow them several trips to the library every week so that they can pick out their books, return old books, and just spend some time reading. Let students have class time to just sit and read their books. You can decide if they have to read books just from the library or if they can bring books from home to read during this time. But the most important thing is to get students interested in reading and to give them time to do it in class. This will show them that reading is an important skill and will help them to develop stronger reading abilities over time. Reading a book as a class can be a fun experience that everyone looks forward to each day. The students can discuss the book with each other since they are all reading the same book at the same time. This will also help improve their listening comprehension skills because they are practicing listening to something that is fun and doesn't feel like work to them, but will still build these listening skills so they can apply it to their schoolwork. Studies have shown that children learn to read and write by reading and writing. So it is essential to give them time to practice these crucial skills in class and encourage them to reinforce these skills with homework and reading assignments.

When you are first diagnosed with typhoid fever, your doctor will figure out how far along the disease has progressed. If the disease is diagnosed in its early stages, the common treatment is with antibiotics. He will prescribe your antibiotics, which you will take for one to two weeks. Some strains of the bacteria that cause typhoid fever have become very resistant to some antibiotics. This means that your doctor will do thorough laboratory tests to come up with the best treatment plan for the particular strain you have.  The type of antibiotic you are prescribed will vary depending on where you contracted the strain and if you have had it before. The most common antibiotics prescribed include Ciprofloxacin, Ampicillin, Amoxicillin or azithromycin. You may also be prescribed Cefotaxime or Ceftriaxone. These medications are typically prescribes for 10 to 14 days. While symptoms may clear up within a matter of days, it is of the utmost importance that you finish your antibiotic treatment. If you do not take your antibiotics for the prescribed amount of time, you run a serious risk of having the disease return or passing it to others. Once you have finished your antibiotics, see your doctor again for a follow-up test to make sure that you have gotten rid of the infection. In severe cases, you will need immediate hospital admission. The aggressive symptoms you should look for that point to a severe case of typhoid fever are a swollen stomach, severe diarrhea, a fever of 104 degrees or higher, or persistent vomiting. When in the hospital, you will likely be given the same or similar antibiotic treatment, but it will be administered in injectable form while you are in the hospital.  You should see a doctor immediately if you experience any of these intense symptoms. Fluids and nutrients will also be administered to you through an intravenous drip. Most people greatly improve 3-5 days after being admitted to the hospital. However, you may have to stay in the hospital for a few weeks to recover if your case of...

Shake the can vigorously first, then open it and pour the contents into a blender; you can also use a food processor instead. Use a spoon or spatula to scrape out any leftover coconut cream and add it to the blender. Don't blend it just yet, and don't worry about being too precise. Mixing the cocoa powder into the coconut milk first will simply prevent the cocoa powder from flying out everywhere when you turn the blender on. Add in the honey, vanilla extract, and salt. If you are vegan, you can use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey. If the mixture is too sweet, add a pinch of salt. If it is not sweet enough, add a little bit more of your honey, avage nectar, or maple syrup. Be sure to blend after each addition. Follow the manufacturer's directions, as each ice cream maker will be a little different. If you don't have an ice cream maker, follow the steps below:  Chill the mixture in a bowl over an ice bath. This will keep ice crystals from forming. Pour the ice cream into a shallow, freezer-safe container, preferably metal. Place the ice cream into the freezer. Stir the ice cream with a whisk or spatula every 30 minutes until it is frozen, about 2 to 3 hours. Be sure to pull the ice cream away from the edges of the container and to break up any ice crystals. If the ice cream is too hard to scoop out, let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes. Store any leftovers in the freezer, and eat it within 1 to 2 weeks.

Most birds will need about a week to get used to their new space. Keep their environment quiet during this time, and ensure that you and everyone else in your family give the birds the time and space they need during this adjustment period. Keep pets away from the cage or aviary to avoid traumatizing your new birds. It may be a good idea to keep young children away from your new pigeons during the first week or so. Children may not fully understand why they have be quiet or calm around the birds, and this may cause the birds to think they're predators. As your pigeons get used to you and their new home, it's important that they don't become scared of you. Keep your hands behind your back whenever you approach the cage, and avoid sudden movements. Speak, sing, or coo softly to the birds to comfort them and make them familiar with the sound of your voice. As your birds begin to become more comfortable with your presence, spend more time with them. If your birds are still hiding or cowering when you're near their enclosure, give them more time. If not, study or read next to their cage or aviary for a few hours each day. Reach through the bars or wire mesh of the birds' cage or aviary to provide treats. At first, simply place the treats on the ground. This will let the birds know that you're a source of food and care. Slowly, the birds should begin to take treats directly from your hands. Stay outside of their enclosure the first few times you do this. The security of the cage or aviary will let the bird know they're safe. Once they've eaten out of your hands a few times, either open the cage door or let yourself into the aviary to feed them more directly. Once your indoor birds are responding to your presence and eating out of your hand, they're probably ready to be allowed out of their cage. Indoor birds need to spend time outside of their enclosure daily to keep their minds and bodies healthy, so start this process as soon as you feel the birds are ready.

Cranberries are a well-known treatment for UTIs that make it harder for bacteria to thrive. Cranberries both make urine more acidic and introduce a chemical from a class called proanthocyanidins, that makes it harder for bacteria to stick to the bladder and urethra's cells. Although many people use cranberries it to treat UTIs, studies suggest that cranberries are better for prevention than treatment.  Drink 300–600 millilitres (1.3–2.5  c) of cranberry juice daily. The study in question studied Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice cocktail, specifically.  Take cranberry capsules (400 mg twice per day) if you don't like the juice. Lingonberry is a berry in the same family as cranberry. One study suggests that drinking cranberry-lingonberry concentrate reduces the risk of UTIs in women and girls. The subjects in this study drank 7.5 g of cranberry and 1.7 g of lingonberry concentrates mixed in 50 millilitres (0.21  c) of water daily. Uva Ursi (Bearberry) might not be available in your grocery store, but you can find it easily and cheaply online. Though uncommon in general American usage, Native American and European medicine have used it for centuries. Take 250-500 mg of powdered bearberry 3 times per day.  This might give your urine a greenish-brown tint, but this is not harmful. Bearberry acts as a diuretic (rids the body of salt and water), so ask your doctor about using it if you're on other medications. In theory, brewer's yeast “crowds out” the bacteria that cause UTIs, but as of now, there are no reliable clinical trials proving it can treat a UTI. Furthermore, brewer's yeast can interact badly with certain types of medications, so talk to your doctor before considering brewer's yeast. Despite the lack of scientific studies, many people take 3g of brewer's yeast twice per day to treat a UTI.  Consult a doctor before taking brewer's yeast if you're on other medications. It should NOT be taken with a class of medications called MAOIs.  MAOIs include the drugs: Selegiline, Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine, Rasagiline,...

You might want everything; an architect, designer, builder and contractor as well as a team of sub-contractors. Or, you might want to do it yourself and call in help when you get stuck. Talk to contractors, at the very least. Unless you are experienced with building and renovations, you will need someone to help you get necessary permits and manage the overall project. You should do the same thing if you are working with designers and other professionals. Getting at least 3 quotes or estimates will help you determine who fits into your budget. Once you hire a contractor, discuss how long the work will take. This will help you plan your renovation and how you will function without the use of your kitchen.

What you eat can affect symptoms of MS, such as inflammation or pain. A paleolithic diet heavy in fruits and vegetables can help you feel better in the long run.  Aim to eat brightly colored fruits and vegetables, like peppers or oranges. Green vegetables, like spinach or kale, are also good. Vegetables high in sulfur, such as broccoli, cabbage, and bok choy, may also help reduce symptoms. You can eat about 4 oz (110 g) of lean meat a day, like chicken or fish. Reduce or eliminate how much dairy, eggs, and wheat you eat. People with MS are more likely to experience the hug if their bodies are fatigued of if they’re very tired. In either case—especially if you’re performing physical work—sit down and rest. If possible, sleep or take a short nap.  The hug symptoms should decrease. If you lead a stressful life, you may need to find a way to cut back on stress in general in order to decrease the MS hug symptoms. Stress may affect the severity or frequency of your symptoms. If you start feeling constricted or overwhelmed, take a break. Do some light stretching, or pause to meditate.  Go get a massage. A massage may be effective in helping your symptoms. If there's something that usually helps you relax, such as music or a bath, try doing it to see if it helps with your symptoms. The MS hug is more likely to occur if you’re overheated, whether from being out in the sun or from exercising or doing physical labor. Whatever the cause, find a way to cool down. If you’re in the sun, move into the shade or go indoors. If you’re exercising, stop and take a break in a cool room. If you live in at hot climate, you may need to adjust your schedule so that you spend more time outdoors in the early morning and late evening, before the day reaches its full heat. Many MS patients find that wearing a tight shirt or jacket, or knotting a scarf around the abdomen (or wherever MS hug symptoms are felt) can decrease the pain. Tight clothing around the abdomen can fool the brain into thinking that the pain from the MS hug is in fact...

Understand the purpose of renovation pruning. Wait until the dormant season. Remove any suckers. Trim up to one-third of the stems.

If you don't have time or don't want to spend time exercising regularly, try increasing your daily lifestyle activities.  These are exercises you already do and increasing them can help you burn more calories throughout the day.  Think about your day and see if you can find additional ways to add in more steps or to move more.  A little planning can help you find a few ways to add in activity or find an extra few minutes to be active. Try adding in activity like:  taking the stairs over the elevator, parking far away from your destination and standing or walk in place during TV commercials. Make a rule to walk to your destinations if they are under 1 mile (if safe and appropriate for you).  Skip taking the bus or driving. Going to the gym, doing high intensity aerobic classes or spending money on expensive equipment isn't possible or comfortable for everyone.  Walking is an activity that most healthy people can do that can help burn calories and increase your cardiovascular fitness.  If you walk 30 minutes on five days of the week, you'll be meeting the minimum guidelines for physical activity (150 minutes per week).  If you don't have time for a full 30 mins, try breaking up your walk into three 10 minute increments. You don't have to spend hours in the gym or purchase expensive equipment to include strength training.  Even light weight resistance training can help increase muscle mass and muscle tone.  Again, you can break up your strength training routine into 10 minute increments if it fits better into your schedule. Try including exercises that are easy to do at home and require no extra equipment.  Exercises can include:  sit ups, push ups, tricep dips, lunges or side leg lifts. Sometimes people think exercise just means running on a treadmill, but there are tons of ways to get exercise, inside and outside the gym. Try a new machine at the gym, or go for a long bike ride or a challenging hike. Try jumping rope or playing hopscotch with your kids or younger siblings.   Put on some upbeat music and dance...

TL;DR in English: Add in more lifestyle activity. Go for a 30 minute walk. Add in 20 minutes of strength training. Think outside the box.

Rosa rugosa shrubs often remain tidy without much interference, but if the roses start looking messy or overgrown, you will need to use renovation pruning to clean the plant up.  Note that renovation pruning can cause a slight loss of flower production the following year, but it is still beneficial to your plant overall. Rose shrubs that are too overgrown essentially over-extend themselves and their resources. It may take a few years for the stress to show, but once it does, your plant will be much weaker and may have a hard time surviving. For the first two or three seasons, you should actually avoid renovation pruning. Doing so can allows the plant to establish itself more securely. Once the plant establishes itself, consider waiting every other year to do an overhaul on it. Renovation pruning can be performed once every year, but if new growth on the plant is not vigorous enough or if the plant grows weak, you may need to skip every other year. As with essential yearly pruning, you should wait until the plant enters its dormant stage before pruning it down. Waiting until the last frost passes in early spring is often the best option, but you should be able to prune the shrub at any point between late fall and early spring. Suckers refer to stems that grow from the rootstock of the plant instead of the main stem. Cut these suckers off at the ground level.  Aside from looking messy, the main problem with suckers is that they tend to grow too well and will deprive your main rosa rugosa shrub of the nutrients it needs. As a result, your main shrub will weaken and eventually die. Cutting suckers off at the ground will usually be enough, but if you want to be more thorough, dig down to the root from which the sucker originates and tear or cut it off at its point of origin. Starting with the oldest stems, cut down between one-quarter and one-third of the stems on the plant. These stems should be trimmed down to ground level.  In this instance, "ground level" refers to any height between the ground and 1.5 inches...

Determine what kind of kerosene container you have. Refill kerosene in a converter cartridge. Refill the kerosene in a converter cartridge.

Make sure to store your kerosene in a safe container labeled for kerosene or flammable liquid. Store your kerosene in a safe place. Keep kerosene for one to three months. Don't throw your kerosene away – no matter how old it is.

There are three types of fountain pens on the market today: cartridge, converter, and piston. The different types refer to the different ink delivery methods, and the method will determine how you refill your pen when the ink runs out.  Cartridge pens are the most common today, and they are the easiest to refill. To write with this type of pen, you simply purchase pre-filled ink cartridges, so when one runs out, all you do is replace the cartridge. Converter cartridges are reusable cartridges that get inserted into a cartridge pen. These are great for people who don’t mind refilling the ink and don’t want to throw away a cartridge every time the ink runs out. Piston pens are similar to converter cartridges, but the pen comes with its own built-in refilling system, so you don’t have to replace the reusable cartridge with a separately purchased converter. Remove the cap from the nib, and, if necessary, the cap off the back of the pen that covers the end knob. Twist the knob (most likely in a counter-clockwise direction) to extend the piston toward the front of the pen. When that’s done:  Dip the entire nib into an ink jar, making sure to cover the hole on the back of the nib. Turn the piston knob in a clockwise direction to draw ink into the chamber. When the chamber is full, pull the pen out of the ink. Turn the piston in a counter-clockwise direction again and let a few drops of ink back into the bottle. This will help remove air bubbles. Clean the nib with a cloth to remove any excess ink. Converters work in one of two ways, either with a piston mechanism or an air-bladder mechanism (also called squeeze converters). To refill an air-bladder pen, dip the nib into the ink bottle and:   Slowly press the converter at the back of the pen, and wait for air bubbles to appear in the ink. Slowly release the converter and wait for the ink to be drawn into the chamber. Repeat until the chamber is full.

TL;DR in English: Determine what kind of fountain pen you have. Refill ink in a piston pen. Refill the ink in a converter cartridge.

Kerosene containers must also be provided with an approved label, as required by federal and state authorities. Storing kerosene in anything other than an approved container is strictly prohibited for safety reasons. Since kerosene is a flammable liquid, it should be stored at room temperature and away from potential heat sources like the sun, hot water heaters, space heaters, furnaces, or ignition sources. This safety precaution will help keep you and your family safe in case of a spill. Storing kerosene for longer than three months can be dangerous, as the old fuel can break down and cause the growth of bacteria or mold. Ideally, you should buy high-quality kerosene in small quantities and store it in its original certified container. If you change the container of the kerosene, it might get mistaken for another substance – which could be dangerous. If you have kerosene left over after a few months, it's best for you to properly dispose of it. If you throw kerosene away, it will end up in landfills or incinerators, or may even be dumped into rivers. When kerosene is disposed improperly, it can poison the air, soil, water, wild animals, and even people and their pets.

If you’re nervous around someone, you might be nervous around yourself. If you’re nervous around someone, you might be nervous around you. If you’re nervous around someone, you might be nervous around you. If you’re nervous around someone, you might be nervous around you.

Check if he seems nervous around you. See if he tries to join your conversations. Watch to see if he tries to talk to your friends. Look for compliments in his conversation. Ask him if he likes you.

Natural oils such as neem and flaxseed make excellent base for ointments. Experiment with different combinations of herbs and oils.  Neem oil is an astringent that helps protect your skin. It is commonly used in Ayurvedic (ancient Indian) medicine to treat lipomas.  Flaxseed oil has high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids help to reduce inflammation. Be sure to buy flaxseed oil certified to be free of heavy metals, such as lead and mercury. Blend 1 teaspoon of chickweed to 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Apply the salve to the lipoma.  Chickweed is used to reduce fats.  You can also use 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea instead of neem or flaxseed oil to make a paste. Put 1 teaspoon of turmeric together with 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Smooth the ointment onto the lipoma. Your skin will turn a bit orange or yellow because of the turmeric. Cover the lipoma with a bandage to protect your clothes.  Turmeric, like neem oil, is commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine. For a paste, add 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea instead of neem or flaxseed oil to the turmeric. Mix ½ to 1 teaspoon of dried sage with 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Coat the lipoma with the balm.  Substitute 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea for neem or flaxseed oil to make a paste. Sage is used in traditional Chinese medicine to dissolve fatty tissue.

TL;DR in English: Create an ointment using natural oils and herbs. Mix chickweed with a natural oil or tea base. Try creating an ointment with turmeric. Add dried sage to neem oil or flaxseed oil.

A guy who laughs, stutters, makes weird jokes, or avoids eye contact when you talk is probably nervous around you. A lot of middle school boys are really nervous around girls they like, so this is a good sign! Do you ever find him butting into your conversations with a friend? This could mean he is trying to spark a conversation with you and wants to talk. Let him! Joke around a bit to let him know you accept him. Is he coming up often and talking to your friends but not necessarily you? He may be working his way around to you, and using your friends as the excuse to be nearby. It can be hard to tell if he likes you or just likes your friend. If he talks to the same friend every time, he probably likes them. But if he talks to a different friend every time, he might like you! People usually don’t say nice things about people they don’t like. If he’s giving you compliments when he doesn’t have to, he is probably interested in you!For example, things like "I really liked your presentation" or "That jacket looks nice on you" might indicate that he likes you. This takes some courage, but if you’re already talking to him and he’s showing a lot of signs of liking you, it’s okay to just ask! He might get embarrassed, but if he really likes you, he’ll say so.  You can just say “I like you a lot. Do you like me?” It’s best to tell him you like him too first, otherwise, he might think you’re making fun of him. If he avoids answering or even says no, just play it off as a joke. You can say “Just kidding!” and change the subject.

It’s important to have range as a singer. Being able to perform lots of different songs, genres, and event types will help you to land more gigs.  Familiarize yourself with typical weddings, bar mitzvahs, or piano bar songs, for example. You should have at least 40 popular songs memorized and performance-ready for these types of events and venues. Turn these songs into a typed list. It will be helpful to have a list ready of all the songs and genres you're comfortable with. Use genre or event types (jazz, rock, wedding, bar mitzvah, etc.) to categorize your list. Include your preferred key along with the name of each song. While a formal education isn’t required for a successful singing career, taking some singing or music classes might help you build your skillset.  If you are interested in pursuing a college degree, consider majoring or minoring in music, voice, or another performance discipline. You can also pursue lessons outside of the schoolroom by getting private vocal coaches and teachers to help you learn the basics. Learn to “Sight Sing.” Many auditions and even gigs will require you to perform new songs after only briefly looking at the music and words. This may seem like an impossible task, but this type of sight-reading can actually be learned and practiced.   How to Sight Sing If there is a choir in your school, church, or community contact them and let them know you're interested joining. This won't be a paid experience, but you will earn some valuable experience! Having a polished portfolio of all your singing credentials will help you show prospective employers that you’ve got the chops for the gig.  In addition to your name and contact information, list your vocal range, singing styles, past gigs, previous training, and any extra qualifications (like if you can also play an instrument).  Include a professional 8-by-10 headshot. This will help prospective employers remember your face and show some of your personality. Make a quality demo tape. This is perhaps the most important part of a...

Chances are that you have played it and the quality is questionable enough for you to be reading this article to make sure. Some additional questions to ask are:  Can you see through the DVD? If you can see through it very well, it is most likely not authentic, though this is not always the case.     Is it colorful (blue, gold, purple, etc.; instead of silver)? If it is any of the colors listed above, it is most likely not a mass-produced DVD.     Hold the DVD up to the light and tilt it to one side. You may be able to see a well-known manufacturer’s name, such as Maxell. If the disc has such a name, then the DVD was a burnable disc, and the disc’s contents are counterfeit.     Check the cover. Real movies have high-quality manufacturer photos, and often fake ones have blurry, lack of color, and less detail type covers. This will tell you that the cover probably was taken with a camera. If the movie is without security labels, the movie may be a counterfeit. In Windows, click on My Computer, then click your player’s drive. It will give you the size of the disc. There should be close to 5 GB used on a single layer or more on a double layer (but this varies depending on running time). Then go through Windows Explorer and right click on various files stored on the DVD to check properties. Look for the creation date. If the DVD is out of print, for example, and the date is recent, something is not right. However, this will probably not work with Disney imported DVD’s with copy protection and results may be misleading.

TL;DR in English: Examine the actual DVD if you have already bought it. Put the DVD into your DVD drive. If the spine of the DVD is very thin, and the case is opaque, it is probably fake.

Before determining how much RAM you should purchase, it will be helpful to know how much RAM you already have installed in your computer. You can quickly check your installed RAM, regardless of what operating system you are using.  Windows - Press ⊞ Win+Pause to open your System Properties window. Your installed RAM will be listed in the System section. Mac - Click the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". Your installed RAM will be displayed in the Memory entry. There are several factors that will dictate how much RAM your system can support, including your operating system and motherboard limits:  If you are using Windows, a 32-bit version can support up to 4 GB, while a 64-bit version can support up to 128 GB. You can check what version of Windows you have by pressing ⊞ Win+Pause and looking for the "System type" entry. Even if your computer supports up to 128 GB, there's a good chance that your motherboard doesn't support that much. You'll need to check the documentation for your motherboard or run an online system scanner (Crucial.com has a good one) to see how much memory your motherboard supports. Mac users will need to check their documentation to see how much their computer support as it varies significantly from model to model. If you don't have the documentation anymore, you can look up the specs of your model on the Apple support site. See this guide for more details on determining the maximum amount of RAM your computer supports. RAM has gone through several revisions over the years. The standard these days is DDR4 RAM, but if you are upgrading an older computer, you may need DDR3, DDR2 or even DDR. If this is the case, you will likely want to consider upgrading the entire computer, as older types of RAM are getting increasingly expensive. You can determine what type your computer uses by referring to the documentation or running a tool like CPU-Z, a freeware utility that analyzes your system. RAM comes in a variety of different speeds. If there are multiple speeds installed, your entire system...

Join extracurricular activities. Get to know the people in your classes. Get involved in your community. Maintain a variety of interests. Put yourself out there.

In order to become a furry, you don’t have to pass an entry test or get permission from anyone else. The decision to become a furry is completely up to you! Whether you’ve been interested in furry-related things for a while or you’re totally new to the community, feel free to proclaim yourself a furry whenever and however you’d like.  If you want to create your own furry-related characters, meet other like minded people, and/or visit furry conventions, you’ll probably love being a part of the furry community! But it’s also totally okay to be a part of the community without calling yourself a furry. If you don't have a strong interest in anthropomorphic animals but you still want to join the community, the people within it will likely welcome you with open arms. People aren’t automatically furries if they happen to like anthropomorphic animals; they get to choose for themselves. Since the furry fandom is a global one, most furry activity happens on the internet. Try the mobile app Furry Amino or websites like SoFurry and Fur Affinity. Create an account and start commenting, posting, and connecting with other users. Or, hop into the furry community on Reddit – r/furry is a very active subreddit and it’s easy to get involved in discussions there. You can easily find other furries via Tumblr and deviantART, too.  Look for furry Discord servers, Skype groups, and Telegram groups for instant messaging. Search through furry pages and tags on regular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube. You’ll quickly find your community there! Explore your furry fanship or fursona through any hobby or creative project you’d like. Try writing fanfiction, creating music, making video animations, vlogging, illustrating fan art, or performing in your furry persona. Then share your creations on sites like Tumblr, deviantART, FurAffinity, and YouTube.   There's a place for every interest in the furry fandom – artists, musicians, authors, dancers, comedians, actors, and many others celebrate their love of...

Whether you're into basketball, cheerleading, French club, or band, joining a few extracurricular activities can help you become more popular simply because you'll get to know a wider variety of people. If you only get to know the people in your classes, you'll be missing out on a wide variety of amazing people from your school. You'll also find it easier to connect with people who share your interests, so you'll be more likely to make friends.  Remember that, to be popular, people have to actually know who you are — what better way is there to get your name out there than to get involved in extracurricular activities? Finding the right extracurricular activity for you can also help you find a new passion, explore new hobbies, and maybe even to get inspired to follow a new career path. Though it's important to be a good student, you should still be able to find time to relax and make a few friends in your classes. Whether you're chatting it up with your lab partner or the person who sits behind you in Algebra II, you should make an effort to get to know the people in your classes —without disrupting your learning, of course!  You may end up finding a new best friend after working on a school project or putting together a lab report with a new classmate. Don't think that you can only find friends after school hours. People in your classes may also be excited to meet new people, because people don't always end up in class with people they already know since class assignments are random. If you have a lunch period and don't have any friends during the same period, try sitting with a new group of people, that way, you can make new friends and get to know them better. Another way to be involved is to do something in your community. Whether you're volunteering at a soup kitchen or playing softball in a rec league, doing something that is community-based will help you get to know more people and to become experienced with talking to a wider variety of people. You may also meet some people from school who are doing...

Purchase a bag of Epsom salt. Open the bags and let the salt dry.

Traditional top hat material is no longer manufactured, but there are several modern day alternatives you can choose from. When looking for a material to use, gravitate toward fabrics that are fairly stiff and heavy. Light, floppy material will produce a floppy hat.  Craft felt is one of the most popular options you can use. It is easy to find, affordable, easy to work with, and comes in a range of colors. Polar fleece and tightly-woven wool are other possible options. Fosshape, buckram, and plastic canvas can be a little harder to find and a little more expensive, but they also tend to be a little stiffer and may produce a more pleasing result when all is said and done. If you cannot find these materials in the color you want, you can paint or dye them that color. You will need to cut out two round circles of equal proportions. The longest diameter of these circles should be about 15 inches (38 cm). The brim pieces will be stacked and sewn together to create a double layer. This is done so that the brim has more structure and support. If you only use one piece of material for the brim, it may lack the structure it needs to be convincing. The flue is the tall, chimney-like portion of the top hat that creates the signature look of the style. You will need to cut out two rectangular flue pieces of equal proportions. The length should be 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm) and the width should be 24 inches (61 cm).  Like the brim, the “flue” will also consist of a double layer of fabric for the purpose of providing adequate support. Without this double layer, the top hat is likely to sink or fold over on itself once you place it on your head. If you would like to create a more playful version of the top hat, you can also cut out separate bands in alternating colors to form the flue. Stitch the bands together lengthwise so that they form a single flue piece with a height of 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm). You only need to cut out one piece of material for the top of the hat. Cut a circle that is 8 inches (20.3 cm) in diameter. Unlike...

TL;DR in English: Choose your material. Cut the brim pieces. Cut the "flue" pieces. Cut the top piece.

You can find this salt in pharmacies. It is often added to bathes to soothe aching muscles. Although it contains the word "salt," this product is not edible. Thanks to its pure-white color, however, the food coloring will show up much better compared to real sand.  Regular table salt will also work for this method. If you want to make edible colored sand, use white, granulated sugar instead. How long this takes depends on how dry or humid it is in your home. For most people, this will take overnight. You can speed up the drying process by spreading the salt out on a baking sheet or tray. Make sure that you use a separate sheet/tray for each color, however.
