Send him a text after you hang out to gauge how he is feeling. Tell him that you like spending time with him. Keep asking him to hang out so you can get closer to him. Be patient and don’t stress if things seem to be moving slowly. Remember your self-worth, no matter what happens.

R is the rate of growth (the annual interest rate), and T is the time (in years) it takes for the amount of money to double. For example, how long does it take to turn $100 into $200 at a yearly interest rate of 5%? Letting R = 5, we get 5 x T = 72. In this example, divide both sides of the above equation by R (that is, 5) to get T = 72 ÷ 5 = 14.4. So it takes 14.4 years for $100 to double at an interest rate of 5% per annum. (The initial amount of money doesn't matter. It will take the same amount of time to double no matter what the beginning amount is.) How long does it take to double an amount of money at a rate of 10% per annum? 10 x T = 72. Divide both sides of the equation by 10, so that T = 7.2 years. How long does it take to turn $100 into $1600 at a rate of 7.2% per annum? Recognize that 100 must double four times to reach 1600 ($100 → $200, $200 → $400, $400 → $800, $800 → $1600). For each doubling, 7.2 x T = 72, so T = 10. So, as each doubling takes ten years, the total time required (to change $100 into $1,600) is 40 years.

TL;DR in English: Let R x T = 72. Insert a value for R. Solve for the unknown variable. Study these additional examples:

This is a great way to test the waters after you’ve seen the guy you like, whether you were studying together or simply at the same event. Don’t text him right after you saw him—instead, wait about 24 hours so that you don’t seem too intense.  Send a text that says something like, “It was cool to see you out the other night. I hope you had a good time.” You could also say something more forward, like, “I had a great time hanging out with you last weekend. Hope we can do it again soon!” This is a little less risky than coming right out and saying, “I like you.” It’s a nice way to compliment him while letting him know you feel fondly toward him. No one ever minds hearing that someone enjoys their company!  At the end of a hangout, simply say, “This was fun. I enjoy spending time with you,” and smile at him. If he asks you to do something, say, “Yeah, that sounds like fun. I like hanging out with you.” You could even send him a simple text that says something like, “I enjoyed studying with you the other day.” As long as he keeps agreeing to spend time with you and seems to enjoy your company, keep hanging out with him and talking on a regular basis. Before you know it, he may even be coming to you and asking you to hang out. Be careful if this guy seems like a bit of a flirt. It’s possible that he could have several other people that he hangs out with regularly that are also interested in him. You want to keep your heart safe and not put yourself into a position where you’re just chasing after him without an end in sight. If you sense that he may be playing the field, take a step back and wait to see if he pursues you. If he doesn’t, you may want to take it as a sign to move on. Remember, getting to know the guy you like and figuring out if he is developing feelings for you might take several weeks or longer. People don’t always develop romantic feelings quickly. Do your best to focus on being his friend and on keeping a positive attitude. If you get really impatient and need to tell him that you like him to see...

You can get a marriage license from any county in the state. However, it's usually most convenient to get one from your own.  You can contact the Clerk of Court by visiting the county court in person or via phone. A list of all offices in the state is available here.  When you contact the Clerk

Contact your county's Clerk of Court. Present valid identification. Provide proof of divorce or death of previous spouse(s). Pay the license fee. Receive your license immediately if you took a prep course. Alternatively, pass the three-day waiting period.

Freshly ground beef will make the best and juiciest hamburgers. Look in the supermarket’s butcher case. This will have been ground more recently than packaged beef. In general, avoid purchasing pre-packaged beef for your burgers. Meat with this ratio has a relatively high percentage of fat to lean. Fattier beef will always result in a juicer burger. 85% lean and 15% fat should be okay, too; just avoid any ground beef that is 90% lean or higher, which will make for a dry burger. You can buy ground beef at any supermarket.l If you prefer organic meat, check the organic section or a health food grocery store.

TL;DR in English: Shop for fresh-ground meat to make burgers with. Purchase ground beef with 80% lean and 20% fat.

A Clerk of Court is a county employee who issues and maintains legal records. You can get a license from any county in the state. However, it's usually most convenient to get one from your own.  You can contact the Clerk of Court by visiting the county court in person or via phone. A list of all offices in the state is available here.  When you contact the Clerk of Court, describe your situation. Ask if there are any special requirements to get a marriage license. The rest of the steps in this section are generally true for the entire state. Specific requirements may vary from county to county. To get your marriage license, you will usually need to visit the office of the Clerk of Court or the county court building. Often, these are the same. You will need to go with your future spouse in person. Both parties will need to provide one form of government-issued ID. Examples include driver' licenses, U.S. passports, and birth certificates. Both parties will also need to provide their Social Security number.  You do not need to bring your Social Security card unless specifically required by your county.  If you are a non-citizen, provide your alien registration number. If you don't have one, provide the best ID you can. W-2 forms and paycheck stubs work. If either party has been married before, you will need to prove that each previous marriage has ended.  For divorces, the official report of the divorce is kept on file by the Clerk of Court for the country where the marriage was dissolved. If you are applying in the same county you divorced in, the Clerk can usually look up this information. For a spouse's death, you can order death certificates from the Florida Health Department. Florida marriage licenses cost $93.50. Many county offices allow for credit/debit card payments. This is not guaranteed, so it is wise to bring a check book. Your fee is reduced by up to $32.50 if you took a state-sanctioned marriage prep course (see below). If both parties can present a certificate of completion for a marriage prep...

Check for a smooth, bright color that reflects light like water. Examine the color to make sure it’s consistent, not perfect or blotchy. Look for imperfections on the surface of the jade, such as pits or rough spots.

Before you get a ferret, you will need to spend a great deal of time setting up. You will have to run many errands gathering supplies, and then take an afternoon to assemble them in your home. In the event you move, you will have to repeat the process. Be honest with yourself about whether you have time for ferret proofing.  You will have to fill in any holes or gaps in furniture or walls, ferrets love to crawl and hide in such areas. You will also have to hide heavier objects, like stereos and speakers, in cupboards. Ferrets love to climb, and can knock such objects over and get hurt.  Staircases need to be blocked off, and household furniture made of products like wood will need protection. Ferrets will chew such objects. Cleaning and upkeep of your home will be more timely when you have a ferret. Ferrets will chew almost anything, and can get hurt if they chew or swallow the wrong object. Therefore, you will have to keep your home very clean if you're housing a ferret. Ferrets are social animals. They will not be happy if they don't have time to play with a human companion. A ferret is, by no means, a hands off pet, so make sure you can dedicate adequate time to playing with your ferret.  Ferrets do sleep a lot. They tend to be sleeping for about 18 hours a day. However, during times when they are awake, they are very active and need a lot of stimulation. Do not leave a ferret in a shelter or cage for the entire day. You will need to spend several hours a day playing with your ferret to keep it healthy and happy. Litter training is important for a ferret, as you don't want a ferret having accidents around the home. Also, ferrets must be taught proper behavior. You will need to dedicate time to training your ferret not to bite and scratch. Ferrets are intelligent and highly trainable. However, like any animal, training takes time and persistence. You will have to train your ferret over the course of several weeks, and always punish negative behaviors like biting. This can be time consuming, so you should...

TL;DR in English: Think about the time commitment of ferret-proofing your home. See if you have enough time to play with a ferret. Remember that ferrets require training. Keep cleaning time in mind. Remember a ferret's lifespan.

Examine the stone's color to make sure it appears rich and vibrant. In most cases, it won’t be purely opaque or purely transparent. Because it’s a combination of opaque and transparent, look for a shine that's similar to light reflecting off water. If the color is dull or flat, it’s likely a fake stone.  Jade can sometimes be totally opaque, but the opaque stones aren’t very valuable.  If it looks like there are air bubbles in the stone, then it’s likely not real. You should notice some color variations throughout the stone if the jade is real. These are likely to be consistent, meaning that you will notice the same patterns throughout the stone. On the other hand, fake jade may have perfect coloration or could have uneven consistency, meaning that it looks blotchy in spots. It may help to examine the jade directly under a light so that you can view it better. Authentic stones are more likely to have minor imperfections, like an uneven shape, dips in the surface, or pitting. These may remain even after the stone has been polished. Check your stone to see if it looks too perfect. If it does, then it’s likely a fake. This might not work as well if you’re buying a piece of fine jewelry, as the highest quality pieces of jade may not have imperfections.

There are many different kinds of evil characters that you can play. Your character may be someone who started out good but was betrayed so badly that they became evil. On the other hand, they may be someone who is pure evil from the start. You’ll likely have an easier time acting evil if you understand exactly where it’s coming from.  Your evil character may be a sociopath or a psychopath. If that’s the case, it’s important to understand what that means. A sociopath typically has a weak conscience that may make them feel a little guilt after an evil act, but not enough to stop them from committing the act. A psychopath usually doesn’t have any conscience and feels no remorse for the evil acts they commit.  Sociopaths are typically a product of their environment and experiences, while psychopaths usually have their evil ingrained in them. No matter what type of character you play, it is essential to understand what motivates them. However, it’s especially important with an evil character if you want to make them convincing. Three-dimensional villains usually believe that their behavior is justified, and you must know what justification your character uses.  Determine what the motivation behind your character’s evil actions are, so you can make them believable. Some evil characters are motivated by the desire for power, while others are motivated by revenge. In some cases, it may simply be the misery of others that motivates a villain. If your evil character doesn’t feel human to the audience, you run the risk of creating a cartoon villain. Instead, try to find your character’s humanity even amidst all the evil. Think about what might make your character cry or laugh, or the soft spots that they might have that make them feel. In some cases, evil characters may only be able to feel for themselves, but that’s okay -- fear and self-pity are still emotions that can make a character seem human.

Dissolve vitamin C powder using distilled water. Add glycerin to the vitamin C mixture. Pour the serum into an amber apothecary bottle.

Don’t worry about organization. Jot down all the reasons you have for writing this letter. Even if it sounds weird, you can cross it out later. Focus on her actions and the way she makes you feel instead of only physical features.  For example, you might list her bright smile followed by the way she greets you in the morning. Write down your honest feelings. For example, her smile might light up a dark morning, which makes you look forward to school. That’s a heartfelt compliment you can include in your letter. Now it’s time to put your thoughts into the letter itself. Let her know that this is a romantic letter. That way, there’s no surprises and she reads the letter when she’s prepared for it. Mention that you have significant feelings to share and had to tell her.  For example, say, “You are an amazing person and deserve to know it.” Another possible introduction is “I didn’t know how to tell you how I felt, so I wanted to write this letter.” Making her feel special involves more than flattering compliments. Maybe she’s a good friend who helped you through a difficult time. Being near her might help you be a better person. Telling her these things shows that you value her presence and that it means a lot to you. For example, you can say “You make me remember who I am” or “You make me unafraid to be me.” Even if you haven’t spent a lot of time with her, come up with at least one memory. Most likely you’ll remember the day you first spotted her or the moment that made you like her. Use the memory to describe how she made you feel. For instance, you can say, “I saw you across the classroom, and you were so stunning that I knew I had to talk to you. But you were so stunning I was speechless.” Refer to the list you made earlier and avoid repeating anything you already mentioned. Find the details that feel meaningful to you and work them into short but powerful sentences. Compliment her, but don’t go overboard by writing a page of praises.  Some examples you can include are “You are kind to everyone and I love...

Mix a ½ teaspoon of vitamin C powder with 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of distilled water in a small container. Make sure to mix the ingredients together until the powder is completely dissolved, to avoid a grainy mixture.  Only use distilled water, not just filtered tap water or plain tap water. This is because the high oxygen levels in tap water can break down the ingredients faster. Note that your water and vitamin C mixture will only be good for 2 weeks when refrigerated, and beyond that time period the serum should be discarded. The function of glycerin is to make the solution smoother and moisturize the skin. Add 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of vegetable glycerin to the mixture. If you already included glycerin in the original mixture, you should include less water.  In this case, the mixture will include 1 teaspoon of distilled water instead of 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of distilled water. Note that when glycerin is included, the mixture lasts for a month. Now, you are ready to store your vitamin C cream. Place it into the refrigerator to preserve its effectiveness and prevent breakdown. Darker bottles are better, because exposing vitamin C to light will decrease its potency and oxidize it quickly, making it less effective.

Creating a plan for each day can help to keep your mind off of negative thoughts and instead focused on the future and what's next. When your days are filled with positive things that take up your time, you will have less time to dwell on your condition and feel depressed. Planning techniques that you can implement include:  Creating a timetable for eating and sleeping. The health of your mind in part depends on the health of your body, which can be difficult to maintain while battling a chronic illness. Eat regularly (at least three meals a day) and getting at least seven hours of sleep nightly helps your brain stay focused, be creative, and problem solve. Studies have shown that sleep deficiency can alter brain function and has been linked with depression and suicide. Keeping to an eating and sleeping schedule can aid in making sure your basic bodily needs are met and thereby boost your mental health.  Choose small tasks to do each day that you can work through easily and will help you to feel accomplished. This might be something like cleaning out a desk drawer, calling up an old friend, or getting your insurance plan updated. Break down large tasks, light house cleaning, into smaller ones to accommodate your physical needs while still providing you with a sense of goal completion. Try to avoid large gaps of unplanned time that can turn into moments or hours of negative thoughts and rumination. Always schedule time for something you enjoy, whether that be reading a few pages of a book, baking, or some light exercise. Incorporating down-time into your schedule can help remind you of the simple pleasures of life and restore your morale and contentment. Your physical and mental health are linked in many ways. When you sit around, listless and without anything to do, you are much more likely to feel depressed. By contrast, exercise is a very important method to combat depression. When you are active, your body releases the "happy hormones" –  endorphins  and dopamine – that make you feel happier and boost your...

Tip burn is when the leaves start to become dry and dead. This often happens when there are chemicals in the water. Setting your tap water out may not be enough – you may need to switch to bottled water to get your plant to look healthy. Once it gets tip burn, it may be hard to get rid of. Even if you do switch water, some chemicals may reside in the plant. You may just have to wait it out as it should go away eventually. Over time, most of these plants become top heavy. Because of this, trimming is very important for it to stay healthy. Don't cut off the main stalk – just the offshoots. Use sterile snippers to do so. Trim them off within an inch or two (2.5 - 5 cm) of the base. New shoots will emerge and the plant will be bushier and healthier. If they're dry and dying, that's a water problem as discussed above. If they're yellowing, that's often a result of too much sunlight or too much fertilizer. If they're brown, try making the area more humid by spraying the plant with water. As for mushy leaves, this plant could be beyond saving. Remove them immediately, change the water, and replant what you have left. If part of the plant is dying, you may have to cut it off. For example, if you notice that the base of the plant is turning yellow, then this is root rot and the plant will die. You can cut the top of the plant off and replant it, but there is a chance it may not grow. You may also consider cutting the plant if you don't like the shape the plant is taking on. Whatever you do, don't throw away the trimmings – they can be made into a new plant. New shoots will emerge from the bottom, older piece of the plant, and the top section can be potted to grow on its own. If you have a dying plant, get rid of the decaying parts immediately. Take any alive stems or branches and immediately repot them. They may flourish on their own if you take swift action.

Record your autosuggestion. Use the second person. Repeat each line ten times. Use headphones while you are asleep. Make yourself relax. Listen to them as you fall asleep. Use the recording for 14 consecutive nights.

Though an emotional affair is not physical, the feelings involved in it can cause a physical rift between you and your partner. You may have less sex with your partner than you did before, or the sex may change and become less intimate and more routine. For example, your partner may rush through sex, not hold you, barely look at you, and not stick around afterwards. Sometimes guilt may cause a person to initiate sex more often, or to lavish you with attention, gifts, or in other ways. People in emotional affairs may put distance between themselves and their partners. This occurs because they are worried that they might get caught or say something about the other person. If your partner is pulling away or not talking to you, they may be having an emotional affair. Take a look at what your partner does around you. Do they go to bed early, spend time working at night, or no longer want to do things together? When people have emotional affairs, they start talking to the other person instead of you about things. You may start to see differences in what your partner says to you. Maybe they don’t tell you about things you used to talk about often, or you notice they are quieter and share less than they used to.  For example, your partner might have told you random things about their day, but now they barely talk about their day. This can be a sign of an emotional affair. If you find out about things after the fact when you know they are important to your partner may mean they are telling someone else, especially if you know they are close with someone else. Changes in your partner’s attitude and tone towards you can also indicate a problem. Consider whether they have started reacting to you with irritation or speaking to you in a condescending tone. .

You can record your autosuggestion into a voice recorder or into a recording program on your phone.  Make sure you put the recording on repeat so that it will play continuously while you're asleep.  Make sure you record your autosuggestions in a strong, but soft voice. You want to it to be commanding yet gentle. If you don't like the sound of your voice, have a friend or family member record it using second person. Unlike the other methods, you will use the second person. You are commanding yourself. For example, instead of saying “I am a courageous person,”say “you are a courageous person.” Make sure you repeat each line ten times before moving to the next sentence. Repeat each affirmation until you have a thirty minute recording. Make sure the headphones allow you to sleep easily. For instance, if you sleep on your side, use earbuds to rest your head easier. While you sit or lie comfortably, try to relax and let go of your thoughts. Breath deeply and regularly. The mind is most open to suggestion when it is relaxed. The affirmations will be absorbed into your unconscious as you sleep. Repetition will help you absorb the affirmation. After the 14-day period, move on to a new affirmation.

Because this clock is made out of paper, it won't be able to move its hands on its own. You can move the hands yourself, but for that, you will need a brad or paper fastener. Here's a list of what you will need:  Paper plate Paper Brad (paper fastener) Scissors Crayons, markers, stickers, etc A plate with pictures on it may look pretty, but you won't be able to see the numbers. Don't worry, you can color the plate later. If you can't find a plain paper plate, use a regular plate to trace a circle onto a piece of paper. Cut the circle out and use it instead. If you have a very narrow rim, then write the numbers on the plate itself. Try to make the spaces between the numbers as even as you can. It might also be a good idea to write the numbers with a pencil first. You can draw over the numbers with crayon or marker later.  Try to write the 12, 3, 6, and 9 first. This may help you keep things even.  You can also use foam or sticker numbers instead of writing them out. One arrow should be a little shower than the other one. Make sure that the bigger arrow can reach the numbers. The big arrow will be the minute hand, and the small hand will be the hour hand. If you want to add color to your clock, now is the time. You can color the clock with crayons, paint, or markers. You can add stickers or even glitter to it. Try not to put too much on it, or you will not see the numbers. If you used paint or glitter glue, you will need to let everything dry before moving on.

If you haven't been diagnosed with frontal lobe seizure, it is important to rule out other medical conditions. Seizures can be caused by other problems in the body, and blood tests will measure things like body chemistry and your blood sugar level.  A blood test is done by obtaining drawing a sample of blood from you, usually from a vein found at the inner aspect of your elbow. The sample is then brought to the laboratory for analysis. Patients with acute seizures should have blood tested for electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, glucose, calcium, magnesium, and liver function.  Other tests should also be performed in anticipation of treatment, such as a complete blood count, differential, and platelets. Part of the test, called the complete blood count, will measure the number of white blood cells, the number of red blood cells, the amount of hemoglobin, and how much of your blood is composed of red blood cells.  The blood test should show normal values of electrolytes and other compounds that may affect brain function. For example, decreased levels of glucose and magnesium may lead to seizures. If your seizures start out of the blue, your doctor is going to want an MRI. An MRI will reveal if something else is going on with your brain, such as a tumor or lesions. It will also locate any unusual blood vessels. It is not a painful procedure.  This test is a combination of radio waves and strong magnets, used to create an image of the soft tissue in your brain. You will lay down on a bench and be pushed into a donut shaped machine where you will need to be still for a period of time. The test can take an hour but generally isn't longer than an hour and a half. The machine will make loud noises.  In some cases, the technician may inject an artificial dye into you to help create the image. You must remove any metal on your body before entering the machine, such as jewelry, hairpins, watches, hearing aids, and underwire bras; talk to your doctor about any devices in your body, such as a pacemaker or artificial heart...

Small items like cookies or popcorn balls are nice additions to your May Day basket; plus, you can make 1 big batch and use just 2 or 3 treats per basket. This way you can make a lot of baskets to give away, or you can have leftover treats for yourself. You could also put in some fresh fruit, like oranges, clementines, or freshly picked strawberries. If you do include fresh fruit, make sure the items are still in good shape and won’t go bad by the time you deliver the baskets. If you have a garden or access to fresh flowers, trim off a few stalks and tie the stems together with twine to make a simple, fresh bouquet. If you don’t have access to fresh flowers, you could always buy a big bouquet from a florist or from the grocery store, split the bouquet apart, and assemble smaller bunches to use in your baskets.  Never take flowers from someone else’s yard if you don’t have their permission. Bouquets don’t have to be big to be beautiful. Three or four single flowers put together can be just as attractive as a full bouquet. If your friends or neighbors don’t celebrate May Day, they may get confused when a random spring basket appears at their home. Remedy this by writing out a note on card stock to put into each basket. Have your note read something like, “Happy May Day!” or “A basket of treats to help you celebrate May Day!” The great thing about May Day baskets is that they can be really small and still be nice and meaningful to those who receive them. Find small baskets at the local dollar store, craft store, or even at a used goods store. Place the flowers in the basket so they are sticking out and visible, add the homemade goodies, and prop the handwritten note in the basket so that it is standing up. You can get as complex as you want to with your baskets. Keep them simple, or decorate them with ribbon, add more treats, like chocolates or wine, make them bigger, or do whatever else calls to your imagination. There is no right or wrong way! Traditionally, May Day baskets are left on doorsteps or outside of...

TL;DR in English: Make homemade treats to put into the baskets for a special touch. Create small flower bouquets for a simple, yet beautiful, addition. Write a short note to put in the basket referencing May Day. Arrange the basket to prepare it for delivery. Deliver the basket to a neighbor to give them a May Day treat.

Pay attention to the compliments. Ignore the insults. Don’t worry about making mistakes. Surround yourself with good people. Build your self-esteem.

Minor wrist sprains are often caused by repetitive tasks or hyperextending the joint by falling on an outstretched hand. Take a break from repetitive tasks if that's what you think led to your wrist injury. Talk to your boss about switching to a different activity for a week or so. If the sprain is exercise related, then you may be working out too aggressively or with bad form — consult with a personal trainer.  A mild wrist strain is often categorized as a Grade I sprain, which implies that ligaments are stretched a little too far, but not significantly.  Tolerable pain, mild inflammation or swelling, and some loss of movement and/or strength in the wrist are common symptoms of Grade I wrist sprains. The application of ice is an effective treatment for essentially all minor musculoskeletal injuries, including wrist sprains. Apply the ice to the most tender part of your wrist in order to reduce the swelling and pain. Ice should be applied for 10-15 minutes every 2-3 hours for a couple of days, then reduce the frequency as the pain and swelling subside.  Compressing the ice against your wrist with an elastic wrap will also help control the inflammation, but don't tie it too tight because complete restriction of blood flow could cause more damage to your hand and wrist. Always wrap ice or frozen gel packs in a thin towel in order to prevent frostbite on your skin. Wrapping your wrist in an Ace or tensor bandage, surgical tape, or a simple neoprene wrist support will offer a small degree of joint support and allow you to compress ice to your wrist easier, but the biggest benefit is likely psychological — essentially it's a visual reminder to take it easy with your wrist for a short period of time.  Wrap your wrist from your knuckles all the way up to the middle of your forearm, overlapping the elastic wrap as you go.  The wrist wrap, tape or neoprene wrist support should be snug, but not cutting off your circulation — make sure your hand doesn't turn blue, get cold or start to tingle. After the pain and...

TL;DR in English: Rest your wrist and be patient. Ice your sprained wrist. Use a basic wrist support. Do some light wrist stretches.

Listen to a person when they give you a compliment. Accept the compliment and allow it to make you feel good about yourself. Thank the person for their compliment and make sure you don’t respond with a negative statement that puts yourself down and challenges the compliment. Remember the compliment for the times when you don’t feel so confident. Ignoring an insult doesn’t mean refusing to listen to another person. Think about what the person said and consider whether it’s constructive or not. Consider whether the person deserves to be listened to and how true their insult might be. Ignore any insults that are meant to demean you and make you feel less confident. Nothing will help sink your confidence faster than a nasty and spiteful insult. Take a small risk. Try doing something less than perfect and see what happens. The odds are good that the world won’t end if you’re not perfect. Worrying about being perfect will definitely make you less confident. Seek out people who make you feel good about yourself. Spend time with them and make them your friends. Get rid of people who are negative influences and who add stress to your life. Find positive and confident role models. You’ll find that these people’s behavior will soon rub off on you and make you more confident. Work on your self-esteem by identifying negative thoughts and challenging them. Replace them with constructive thoughts that make you feel confident and good. Although it’s important to consider your physical appearance and style when building confidence, true confidence comes from within.

Wipe the damaged part of the floor with a clean, damp cloth. Let the floor dry completely before you proceed. This method works for minor chips and scratches that can be repaired with putty or a marker specifically made to repair laminate flooring. For example, if you drop a knife and it leaves a small cut in the floor, you can easily repair the damage with a laminate floor repair kit. Get laminate floor repair putty for larger chip repairs or a floor repair marker for smaller scratches. Take an extra piece of flooring with you to the home improvement store, if you have one, to find the closest color. You can mix multiple colors of putty together to get a matching color if you can't find one close enough. Take off the cap of the marker and carefully color in the scratches. Let the marker dry for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Add more coats of the marker after it dries if the scratch is still visible. Scoop out a bit of putty on a putty knife and spread it into the chipped area. Use the putty knife to smooth it out so it's level with the rest of the board, then let it dry for 1 hour. If the chip is particularly deep, then apply several thin coats of the putty until it is even with the floor. Carefully wipe around the repaired area to remove any marker or filler that got on the undamaged flooring. If you used putty, be sure to do this before it dries. Use a cleaning solvent designed for laminate flooring if you need something stronger.

TL;DR in English: Clean the damaged area to remove any dirt from the chip or scratch. Buy a laminate floor repair kit that closely matches the color of your floor. Disguise small scratches with a floor repair marker. Fill in large chips using putty. Wipe around the area with a clean, dry cloth to remove extra marker or putty.

Teasing your pin-straight locks will transform your flat hair into bouncy locks.  Part your hair in the center or to the side. Use a comb to create two layers of hair on top of your head: a top layer and an underneath later. Secure the top layer with a duck clip. With a tailed comb, begin teasing the underneath layer 2 inches from your roots. After each downward stroke, fully remove the comb from your hair. Gradually increase your distance from the roots until you have created the amount of volume you desire. Unclip the top section and gently brush it over the teased underneath layer. Spray your teased tresses with hairspray to secure the look. Achieving the perfectly textured do is extra challenging when you have straight hair. Attempt to add texture to your pin-straight locks through one or more methods:  For a beachy look, curl the middle section of your hair only. To produce a wavy look, first plait your hair into one or more even braids. Slowly run your straightener down the length of each braid. Remove the elastic band, undo your plait, and observe your subtle waves. To achieve waves without the heat, braid your hair while damp and apply a sea salt spray. For a perfectly tousled look, spray your hair with dry shampoo and scrunch your locks. One of the benefits of straight hair is that it requires very little maintenance and effort to style. Leave your tools and products in the drawer or under the sink. Simply run a brush through your hair and wear it down for the day. Up-dos are appropriate for every occasion. Put your hair in a simple ponytail or a classic chignon. Tease your hair and pull it back into a half-ponytail. Experiment with different braids—try a fishtail braid, a crown braid, or a series of small side braids.

When you are alone, think about the things you’re your friend does and identify the reasons why they bother you.  Identifying these issues in the relationship will help you to work out strategies for how to cope and, hopefully, improve the relationship.  Does she often cancel plans with you at the last minute? Does she yell at you? Does she flirt with that guy that you like, even after you told her that you like him? If you have trouble identifying exactly what your friend does that bothers you so much, you may want to discuss your friend with another friend or someone else that you trust. After you have identified the things that your friend does that bother you, think about how those things make you feel. It is important to acknowledge the pain and other emotions that your friend has caused you and deal with those emotions in a healthy manner. If you refuse to acknowledge your emotions and deal with them, they may erupt in an unexpected or inappropriate manner. Confronting your friend will be difficult for you and even more difficult for him or her. Before you decide to confront the person, think about whether or not the issue is a big enough deal to require a confrontation. If you confront the person and the issue is rather minor, you may end up looking like you are nit-picking and that can cause more problems in the relationship. Not all problems are worth confronting your friend about, but you should still prepare yourself to handle common situations that you think may not be worth a confrontation. Having strategies in place can also help you to feel more in control when your mean friend says or does things that upset you.   If your friend often cancels plans with you at the last minute, make backup plans to lessen the damage of her canceling on you.   If certain topics cause your friend to make rude or insulting comments, avoid discussing those topics with him or her.

TL;DR in English: Take stock of the things that your friend does that bother you. Deal with your emotions. Determine whether or not the problem warrants a confrontation. Develop strategies for situations that do not require confrontation.

. The first step to perfect skin is to figure out a skincare routine that works for you. Everybody's skin is unique, so what works for another person may not work for you. Take a long, hard look at your skin and decide whether it's normal, sensitive, dry, oily, or a combination.  If you have normal skin, you're lucky! Your skin doesn't get oily, your pores are small, your skin tone looks even and you rarely suffer from breakouts.  Sensitive skin tend to be very reactive - it may become dry, itchy or irritated depending on the weather, your lifestyle, and the products you use.  Dry skin usually feels tight after cleansing and can suffer from roughness or flakiness, especially when exposed to cold weather or dry air. Dry skin is prone to wrinkling, and tends to have no visible pores.  Oily skin can become greasy and shiny-looking within an hour after washing. The oil may even seep through your makeup and cause it to slide off. Oily skin is prone to blemishes and breakouts, and has visible pores.  Combination skin means that your skin can be dry and oily. It might be flaky and rough around the edges, but oily along the t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Combination skin tends to have visible pores only in the t-zone area. In addition, whether you have a light skin tone, medium skin tone or dark skin tone will also dictate what issues your skin is prone to, and should be taken into consideration when choosing skincare products. twice a day. Washing your face is super important as it cleans away dirt, oil, bacteria and traces of make-up that would otherwise be left sitting on your skin.  Stick to washing your face twice a day - once in the morning to cleanse any oil that has built up overnight, and once in the evening to remove any dirt and make-up from the day. If you don’t use makeup, you may not need to wash your face twice a day. Pin your hair back before you begin washing, to ensure that you have access to all the edges of your face. To cleanse your face, splash your face with warm water. Hot water can be too...

"Short" and "review" are key words here. The executive summary is not going to be comprehensive in any way, nor will it be a substitute for the original document. An executive summary should never be longer than 10% of the original document. Shoot to have it somewhere between 5% and 10%. Most authoritative sources who write executive summaries agree that certain stylistic and structural guidelines should apply. These include:  Paragraphs should be short and concise.  Executive summaries should make sense even if you haven't read the original report. Executive summaries should be written in language that is appropriate for the target audience. An executive summary needs to clearly define a problem, whether it's supply-chain management or marketing campaigns overseas. Executive summaries, especially, need clear definitions of problems because the documents that they are based on, Requests For Proposals (RFP), are often written by technical people with a poor grasp of conceptual issues. Make sure the problem is defined in clear, understandable terms. A problem is always in need of a solution. In order to deliver a claim statement of purpose (and a reason to fund the venture), you need to present your solution so that it effectively tackles the problem. If your problem isn't clearly written, your solution is less likely to make sense. An executive summary is not an essay; it doesn't need to be long blocks of text. If they enhance understanding or make the summary more skimmable, it's okay to use:  Graphics. A well-placed graphic illustrating the precise nature of the client's problem could drive home the point of the summary. Stimulating the visual sense is often just as effective as their analytical sense. Bullets. Long lists of information can be broken down into more digestible bullets. Headings. Organize the themes of the summary, if necessary, by heading. This will help orient the reader as they dive into the summary. Jargon is the enemy of understanding.

It's not always easy to see how many times a two-digit number goes into a larger one. One useful trick is to round to the nearest multiple of 10 to make guessing easier. This comes in handy for smaller division problems, or for parts of a long division problem. For example, let's say we're solving 143 ÷ 27, but we don't have a good guess at how many times 27 goes into 143. Let's pretend we're solving 143 ÷ 30 instead. In our example, we can count by 30s instead of counting by 27s. Counting by 30 is pretty easy once you get the hang of it: 30, 60, 90, 120, 150.  If you find this difficult, just count by threes and add a 0 to the end. Count until you get higher than the larger number in the problem (143), then stop. We didn't hit 143 exactly, but we got two numbers close to it: 120 and 150. Let's see how many fingers we counted on to get them:  30 (one finger), 60 (two fingers), 90 (three fingers), 120 (four fingers). So 30 x four = 120. 150 (five fingers), so 30 x five = 150. 4 and 5 are the two most likely answers to our problem. Now that we have two good guesses, let's try them out on the original problem, which was 143 ÷ 27:  27 x 4 = 108 27 x 5 = 135 Since both our numbers ended up below 143, let's try getting even closer by trying one more multiplication problem:  27 x 6 = 162. This is higher than 143, so it can't be the right answer. 27 x 5 came closest without going over, so 143 ÷ 27 = 5 (plus a remainder of 8, since 143 - 135 = 8.)

Vinegar is a good deodorizer for insoles, especially if they have a strong smell. It also kills bacteria and germs. Mix one part white distilled vinegar and one part warm water together in a large bowl or in the sink. Place the insoles in the vinegar and water mixture. Let the insoles soak in the mixture for at least three hours. You can add essential oils like tea tree or pine oil to the mixture if the insoles really smell. Add a few drops of the essential oils to the mixture and let the insoles soak in the mixture. Once the insoles have soaked in the mixture, remove them and rinse them out under running water. Make sure you remove all of the vinegar-water mixture on the insoles. Place the insoles on a towel to dry overnight. You can also dry them by stacking them in a dish rack or by hanging them from a clothesline.

The acknowledgment page is a common feature at the end of a formal thesis or dissertation, and it can be difficult to know how to include a bit of personal writing at the end of a technical project. It would be strange to follow up your epoch-shattering cancer research study with "Shout out to D-Nuts for the sick waffles he brought me in the lab that one time." Make your acknowledgment page professional, brief and more informal than the rest of your text, but also specific to the people who helped you along the way.  The acknowledgment page can either be a list or a more fluid paragraph. It would be fine to write, "I would like to thank Professor Henderson, Dr. Matthews, etc." until you've worked your way through the list. It would also be perfectly acceptable to address each person individually and more personally: "I would like to thank Professor Henderson for her expert advice and encouragement throughout this difficult project, as well as Dr. Matthews for his brilliance in the lab."  Some people feel uncomfortable emphasizing certain people's help over other people's help, in which case the list form in alphabetical order is a perfectly acceptable method of writing an Acknowledgment. In general, the most important person to thank in the acknowledgment is your thesis advisor or major professor overseeing your project, followed by any members of the thesis committee and other supervising academics directly involved with your project.  In general, it's helpful to think in groups, even going to far as to format all the thank-yous of a particular group in a single sentence: "I would like to thank Dr. Stevens, Dr. Smith, and Professors Clemons for their extraordinary support in this thesis process." If you worked with a small committee, it's customary and thoughtful to thank each person for the specific things they contributed to your work. This might include lab assistants, or anyone who helped you with coursework or contributed to the project itself in any way. Other classmates who you feel like contributed...

When you get a new product, such as a chemical peel or even just a facial cleanser, it's important to patch test it first, especially if you have sensitive skin. Patch testing just means you use a small amount on part of your skin to see how you react.  In other words, you don't want to rub something all over your face or body and break out in hives everywhere. It's best to limit the area at first.  You should also skin test other products, such as shampoos, conditioner, and hair dyes. Basically, if you have sensitive skin, you should skin test any product that comes in contact with your skin. Your inner arm is a good place to test because generally that skin is fairly sensitive. In addition, it won't be too noticeable if you do have a reaction.  If the product burns or causes an immediate reaction, wash it off as quickly as possible. If it's a product such as lotion, leave it on your skin. If it's a product like a chemical peel that's meant to be rinsed off, rinse it off at the appropriate time. Wait a full day to see if you have a reaction to the product. A reaction could be your skin turning red, welting up, or showing a rash. You could also have scaliness or oozing skin. Another symptom is itchiness. Next, move to skin testing a more sensitive area. This time, pick a place where the product will be used. For instance, if you are using a facial cleanser, try it just under your ear in a small spot. The reason you need to test it again is because it may affect a more sensitive area of skin even if it doesn't affect your arm. Once again, wait for a full day to see if your skin reacts to the product. If it doesn't, you should be fine to use it.

TL;DR in English: Understand product skin testing. Put a small amount on your inner arm. Wait for 24 hours. Test a more sensitive area. Wait another day.

Have the dealer keep the deck next to them. The person to the right of the dealer, however, should put one of their cards down on the table to start the discard pile, while the dealer picks up a new card. You do not have to exchange cards with the card you are given, if you do not want to. Instead, just pass the card you received on to the player to your left. Each round the dealer should pick up a new card and the person to their right should add to the discard pile, so as to have a continuous influx of new cards. All players continue to circulate cards. It usually goes pretty quickly, and can be tough to keep track of! This is intentional, and makes the game more fun. all 4 aces or all 4 nines) has to pick up a spoon. Following this, all other players need to do the same, with the slowest person left without a spoon and out of the game. It can be easy to get caught up in trying to get your own four of a kind — try to pay attention to other people's movements as well as your hand. So if the first round had 6 players and 5 spoons, the second round would consist of 5 players and 4 spoons. Continue playing until you're left with a single person, who is the winner.

An acronym can help you remember the names of the months. An acronym is a memory device in which you make up a word or sentence using the first letter in a group of terms you must memorize. This can easily be used to help you remember the days in each month.  The first letter of September, April, June, and November are S, A, J, and N. You could make a sentence like, "Sarah And June Nap." January, March, May, July, August, October, and December all have 31 days. The first letters (D, J, M, M, O, J, and A) can make: "Justin Must Make Diced Apricot Orange Jam." Mnemonic devices help you remember complicated information by associating an image with information. For example, if you want to remember that February has 28 days most years, picture hearts forming the numbers 2 and 8. Hearts are related to February because of Valentine's Day. If you can find ways to make connections between which months have which number of days, it can be easier to remember. Facts are easier to remember if you can make some connection.  For example, September, April, June, and November all have 30 days and beginnings. School begins in September; spring starts in April and summer starts in June. The day after Thanksgiving in November is the beginning of the Christmas season. You may not be able to link all the months with 31 days, since there are so many, but you can still find small connections between small groups of months. For example, January is harsh and cold, while March is dreary and rainy. October contains Halloween, a frightening holiday. All these months have certain qualities that are scary, fierce, or harsh.

Before attempting any removal, rinse the hook and the appendage with clean water to remove any debris from the hook and the wound area. Carefully push the hook through your finger, toe, etc. until it pushes through the other side. It hurts, but it's better than ripping it out the way it came. If the barb has not fully entered the skin, just pull the hook out carefully. It will hurt, but what do you expect? You have a fishhook in your hand. Take a pair of wire cutters and cut the barb off the hook. This will help you remove the hook without sustaining further damage to the affected area. This will hurt, but it is still way better than ripping the hook out. You want to minimize the amount of damage the hook does to your skin. If the wound is bleeding heavily, apply pressure to the wound until the bleeding slows down or stops. This may take several minutes to half an hour. If the bleeding has not slowed down in that period of time, you may need to seek medical assistance. If you have access to non-stick gauze or non-adherent bandage, apply them to the wound. These can help stop the bleeding without sticking.

TL;DR in English: Clean the area. Push the hook through. Cut the barb. Pull out the remainder of the hook. Stop the bleeding.

This is disrespectful, and for your soon-to-be ex, it can feel like you're being evasive. Have the decency to do it privately and in person. You might not realize it, but there are benefits to ending a relationship in person. For one thing, it gives both people a chance to talk and reflect on the situation. And even though it will be harder to do, it will most likely lead to less drama, which is a good thing. Things are never that simple. Be prepared to discuss your relationship without pointing your finger.  You can probably find bad things about your relationship that you contributed to, if you really wanted. In an effort to be fair, and to not have your ex-girlfriend feel like she is directly responsible for the end of the relationship, be sure to mention the things that you could have changed to make the relationship better. In some cases, the blame will be solely on the other person. In those situations, it's okay to tell it like it is. If your girlfriend is cheating, abusing drugs, manipulative, or increasingly disrespecting you, you can lay the blame directly on her actions. In most cases, this can cause an argument, so be prepared. The upside is that you're being honest with both yourself and her why the relationship didn't work, leaving you both with a better chance of finding lasting love later on. Isn't that what you both want? If you don't want to be friends afterward, don't leave the door open for that possibility. Find a nice way to say it. Instead of "Oh yeah, and I don't want to stay friends afterwards, just so you know," try something like "You know that I care for you. I just don't think it will be healthy for either of us to stay friends immediately after we break up. Hopefully sometime down the road, when we've both figured stuff out, we can get to that place." Use discretion when telling mutual friends about your break up. Bragging or gossiping could be very hurtful to someone who may already be in a fragile emotional state. On top of that, it could encourage your ex to sling some nasty...

Don’t talk about exes or other sensitive topics, at least in the beginning. Refrain from having too much to drink when you’re with her. Stay relaxed to maintain your confidence and avoid being too nervous.

Make sure your shoes are completely dry before you store them.  It will be easier for dirt to stick to your shoes if they are wet.  Moisture can also weaken the fibers in shoes causing them to become weaker and lose their shape. Don’t leave your shoes out in the open.  If you leave them out, people might step on them or even spill things on them.  Keep them in their shoebox until you are ready to wear them. If you don’t have the box your shoes came in, you can place them on a shoe rack that is away from people. Make sure you store your shoes in a cool place.  Heat can cause discoloration in white shoes.  If you have a shoe closet, keep your white shoes as far away from the light bulb as you can. Too much sunlight can cause your shoes to become yellow.  If you plan on wearing them outside, a little sun is unavoidable, but never leave your shoes out in the sun.  If you have to take your shoes off to go swimming, rent a locker to protect them.  At the very least, leave them under a chair or table. If you know you’ll be at an outside event all day, it may be wise to wear a different pair of shoes.

These topics run the risk of alienating her or making her feel uncomfortable instead of entertained. Some topics you should avoid at first include:  Politics & Religion (though for some people, these make for the best conversations) Sexually Transmitted Diseases Previous relationships (hers or yours) Although having a beer or two may help you feel more relaxed, you run the risk of embarrassing yourself if you drink too much. Avoid having more than one drink beforehand and don’t go out for drinks if you feel you may end up drinking too much. Becoming too drunk can also lead to a problematic sexual encounter, depending on the circumstances. If you’re drinking together, make sure you stay in a public place and practice safety at all times. You'd be surprised how easy it is to entertain and impress a girl when you're not trying to. Remind yourself that it’s ok if things don’t work out or if the date isn’t perfect.

Your cat deserves to be spoiled a little on its birthday. From the beginning of the day to the end, make an extra effort to make your cat feel loved.  Put fresh blankets in your cat's bed. Allow your cat access to a spot you would normally restrict. For example, clear off breakables from a mantel for the day. Open the curtains near a spot where your cat likes to snuggle. Allow it to sunbathe. Pet your cat extra throughout the day. Allow it to climb into your lap and cuddle. Cats love having perches in your home. A nice birthday surprise would be to provide a new window perch. Try clearing off a shelf or table near the window to allow your cat to gaze outside throughout the day. You can also invest in a kitty condo. They can be a bit pricey, but your cat will love having its own space to lounge. This can be a great birthday treat. You want your cat to feel loved on its birthday. Throughout your cat's special day, play with it. Encourage your cat to use any new birthday toys, or play with old favorites. Start off the morning playing with your cat so it feels cared for on its birthday. A birthday party can be fun, but there are some safety concerns to keep in mind. Your cat won't enjoy its birthday if it ends up getting hurt during the festivities.  If you're including a pet guest list, only include pets your cat is familiar and comfortable with. Unfamiliar animals during a party can cause unnecessary stress. Be careful when inviting families with small children. Make sure any children in attendance know how to safely interact with animals. Keep first aid items on hand, as well as the phone number of a veterinarian.

TL;DR in English: Pamper your cat throughout the day. Add a new window perch. Play with your cat. Make sure everything stays safe.

Most people interested in roof "pitch" are actually measuring the slope, which is the most useful measurement when considering roofing material and rainwater. Slope is the correct term for the ratio of vertical to horizontal distance on a particular plane of the roof. Even carpenters often use the terms slope and pitch interchangeably. For example, if one side of the roof rises by 8 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance, it has a slope of "8 in 12" or "8:12." Technically, roof pitch is the ratio of total vertical roof height (the rise) to total horizontal distance from wall to wall (the span). Although most homeowners do not need to measure pitch, it still pays to understand this term. When you're arranging for repairs or roofing material, your calculations will be way off if you misinterpret "pitch" to mean "slope."  Again, some carpenters and manufacturers use both terms to mean "slope." Just ask if there's any confusion about which measurement they're referring to. For example, if a roof is 32 feet from wall to wall and the ridge is 8 feet above the walls, the pitch has an 8 to 32 pitch, simplifying to "1 to 4" or "1/4". If you do need to calculate the pitch, an estimate or shortcut is usually more practical than measuring the roof's overall dimensions. Here are a couple examples:  For a simple gable roof, the span (wall to wall) will be twice the size of the run (wall to ridge, horizontally). Divide the slope by two to get the pitch. For a roof with the ridge above one wall, the span is the same as the run. The slope is the same as the pitch. For more complex roofs, you may need to calculate it section by section. Carpenters use special conversion charts to estimate the roofing material required based on the slope and shape.

Consider volunteering. Avoid thinking that you "can't help anybody". Build off of your interests and talents. Consider tutoring younger kids. Participate in fundraisers and activities for causes you support. Do things that make others happy.

Rent or buy an orbital polisher to apply the compound professionally. Use a clean, dry microfiber towel to apply your compound by hand. Apply a thin line of rubbing compound directly over your scratches. Hold your orbital polisher over your scratches for 10-20 seconds. Use rubbing compound over all of your car to polish every surface. Rub the compound into the surface of your car until it is invisible. Rinse the car with water to get rid of any remaining rubbing compound.

You may not be interested in volunteering or attaining a job—that's okay. Helping out others is only a recommendation. However, many volunteers report that their work makes them feel good; some volunteer work can even help with self-development.  Consider the benefits and drawbacks of volunteer work or jobs, and use this to decide whether you'll help others out. You don't have to get a job when you're a teenager—and when you're under a certain age, it's nearly impossible to find one—but that doesn't mean that you're unable to help out! Consider volunteering, doing odd jobs for others, or helping someone to learn something they don't know. This can do wonders to help other people! It will be helpful for future employment after college to have a job or volunteer so you can have valuable work experience. . Volunteering doesn't have to happen outside of the home. If you have an internet connection, you can volunteer online—for example, editing wikiHow articles about your favorite subjects. Are you interested in animals? Volunteer at an animal shelter or collect supplies for your local non-profit shelter. Are you good with people? Find a job or volunteer work that's oriented around talking to others. Can you design complex web pages with minimal effort? Offer to help others learn web design. Take your talents and interests and find something you can do based around those. It can be a great help to volunteer or work, and have fun at the same time! If one of your talents is that you're an all-A's scholar, see if there's a program at your school that allows you to tutor struggling students. If not, try asking families that have younger kids or advertising a tutoring service—you may get some great opportunities!   It's okay to turn down a tutoring offer. If you can't tutor the neighbor's son because he's too loud and disruptive, or if you aren't good at a subject that somebody needs help with, it's okay to politely say, "I'm sorry, I can't do that job" or "I don't think your child and I work together very well".

To most effectively apply your rubbing compound, you can rent or buy an orbital polisher from most home supply stores. When rubbing compound over the entire car, use a soft pad. On average, a polisher costs about $30 - 70 to buy new (£21.30 - 49.71). While orbital polishers do the best job of spreading the rubbing compound, you can also effectively use a towel.  Make sure your towel is completely clean so you do not rub dirt and debris into your car. Do this if you don't have access to a polisher or want to remove scratches on a budget. You want the scratched areas to be covered with rubbing compound. If your compound comes in a tube, you can squeeze it directly onto the scratches. If your rubbing compound does not come in a tube, you can scoop some out using a paper towel or rag.  Rubbing compound helps smoothen over the freshly sanded areas, so your scratches look invisible. Make sure your car is not in any direct sunlight before you apply the compound. Use a wool pad if you are using a polisher. Place your polisher directly onto the scratch, and pull the trigger or press the button to start the machine. The orbital polisher will rapidly spin across the surface of your car, spreading the rubbing compound over the scratches. Apply about 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of compound to your cloth or polisher after you spread rubbing compound over the scratched areas. Start at the top of your car and apply the compound in 1–2 ft (0.30–0.61 m) sections. Move your hands or the buffer in a circular motion to apply the rubbing compound. In addition to removing scratches, rubbing compound freshens up the color of your car and makes it look sparkling and shiny. It essentially acts as a polisher for your car. Move your orbital polisher or microfiber cloth in small circles until you rub in all of the compound. Press into the surface of your car with moderate force as you apply the compound. The compound is completely rubbed in when you cannot see any residue or streaks on your car.  With moderate force, your rubbing compound should...

Starting your litter box training in the cage makes it easier on you and the ferret. The ferret likes to stay clean, so it will be interested in having an area to use the bathroom that's away from its sleeping area. After the ferret gets the hang of the cage, you can move to a slightly larger room, such as the bathroom. Put your ferret in its litter box first thing in the morning after it wakes up. Avoid waking a ferret that is asleep, so you don't startle it. This routine encourages the ferret to go to the bathroom in the correct place.  One of the best times to use this technique is in the morning when your ferret has been sleeping overnight. Most of the time, your ferret will want to use the bathroom when it wakes up. Repeat the process several times a day for a week or so until your ferret gets the idea. When you see the ferret go in the litter box on its own, immediately pet it and praise it. That lets the ferret know that you approve of this behavior and that it should continue it. Watch for bathroom-going behavior. Typically, a ferret will lift its tail and scoot back a little. If you see this behavior when the ferret isn't in the litter box, pick up the ferret and put it in the litter box to encourage it to go there instead. Don't scold your ferret or try to push your ferret's nose in its accident. It won't understand what you mean, and you will just make it fear you. When your ferret defecates outside the litter box, use a paper towel or glove to move it into the litter box. You can also rub a little litter into a urine spill and put it in the litter box.  When the ferret notices its own scent in the litter box, it will be more inclined to use it. It's also a good idea to leave a little bit of the ferret's feces in the litter box when you clean it so the ferret still associates it with the bathroom. When your ferret keeps returning to a certain corner to use the bathroom, start by cleaning the area thoroughly. Then, place towels the ferret has slept on or a hammock in that corner for the ferret to...

TL;DR in English: Begin by keeping the ferret in the cage to encourage litter box use. Show your ferret the litter box when they wake up. Praise the ferret when it uses the litter box on its own. Put the ferret in the litter box if you witness an accident in action. Move accidents back into the litter box to encourage your ferret to use it. Put beds where the ferret has had accidents.

This is a common tactic for stuck lids on glass jars with wide metal lids (like pickle jars, etc.), but it's a bad idea here. Nail polish bottles usually have lids made of plastic, so they won't deform the same way metal will if you bang them on a hard surface. If you do bang them hard enough to change the shape of the lid, you stand a good chance of breaking it, which will cause a spill. A bottle of polish that seems like it's impossible to open can be seriously aggravating, but losing your patience is a bad idea. Ripping or tearing the lid off with pliers, for instance, is a recipe for disaster — you'll likely break the lid and cause a spill. Trying to pry the lid off with a screwdriver or cut it off with sharp implements will usually lead to the same result. As a general rule, trying to get the lid off in any way other than twisting it the way it was meant to be twisted is a risky bet. Once you get the lid off, you may be tempted to leave it off (or leave it slightly unscrewed) so that it won't get stuck in the future. This is a bad idea. The lid is crucial for keeping the polish from coming in contact with air. If you let air into the bottle, the polish can dry up, making the polish useless. Instead, to prevent sticking, clean the bottle neck with polish remover and close it moderately tightly.

Ear infections generally come on suddenly. A child with an ear infection may:  Complain of ear pain Pull at the ear Be unable to sleep Cry Be irritable Have trouble hearing Have trouble balancing Have a fever of 100 °F (37.8 °C) or more Have fluid leaking from the ear Not be hungry Have diarrhea or vomiting These devices, such as EarCheck, use sound waves to detect whether there is fluid buildup in the middle ear. The device reads the sound waves that are reflected back and determines whether there is fluid in the middle ear. If your child has fluid buildup, you should bring the child to the doctor. However, fluid buildup does not necessarily mean that there is an ear infection.  You can purchase an electronic ear monitor online or at your local pharmacy for approximately $50. Make sure you follow the directions carefully, and use caution when using these on young children. Even if your child’s reading comes back as not reporting fluid buildup, you may still want to bring her to the doctor if she is having concerning symptoms to make sure there are no other problems causing her symptoms. Your doctor will likely want you to bring the child in so his ears can be checked. Your doctor is particularly likely to recommend this if:  Your child's pain is very bad Your child's pain has continued for more than 24 hours Your child has recently had a cold, flu, or other infection There is fluid coming out of the child's ear The doctor will use an otoscope, and sometimes a pneumatic otoscope to look into your child’s ear. The device allows the doctor to see the eardrum, and also can be used to blow a small amount of air against the eardrum. The doctor when watches to see if the eardrum moves. This will not hurt.  If the ear doesn’t move as much as usual, or doesn’t move at all, it means that fluid has built up behind the eardrum. However, the most important part of the exam is your doctor seeing what the ear drum looks like through the otoscope. Signs of infection are if the ear drum is red, swollen, or has yellow fluid...
