Many people crave the extra 6 to 8 minutes of sleep provided by the snooze button. However, hitting the snooze button will actually make you feel more tired. When you hit snooze, you immediately go into an early sleep stage. Being interpreted early in the sleep cycle causes you to become more groggy and tired than you would have been without those extra minutes.  Set your alarm for when you really plan to get up. Do not set it a few minutes ahead of time to give yourself the pleasure of hitting snooze. When your alarm goes off, get out of bed immediately. It may feel awkward and uncomfortable, but remind yourself that you're doing yourself a favor. Keep thinking of the extra energy you'll feel forgoing the snooze button. You often end up mildly dehydrated in the morning, as your body has gone so long without water. Dehydration can make you feel tired or groggy. As soon as you wake up, drink a glass of ice water. This will help make you feel alert and energized as you proceed through your morning routine. Natural sunlight can help you feel awake in the morning. As soon as you get up, do something to get some sunlight. Try pulling back the curtains in your bedroom or stepping out on the porch for a few minutes. This may help wake you up, allowing you to proceed through the morning with more focus. During winter months, you may want to invest in a light therapy box. This is a device that simulates sunlight that you can purchase online or at a department store. Use a timer on your phone or alarm clock. Set the timer to go off every 10 to 15 minutes, and keep an eye on the time. Try to keep every aspect of your routine, such as breakfast and showering, within short time frames. This will help you keep your pace up, allowing you to get out the door in time for your early shift. Keep in mind, this may be tricky for the first few days. You may not hit all your timeframes exactly, but stick with it and eventually you'll be breezing through your morning routine. If you have an early shift, do not skip breakfast to save...

TL;DR in English: Avoid the snooze button. Drink a glass of water. Expose yourself to sunlight. Time your routine. Have an energizing and efficient breakfast. Do some light exercise. Listen to music. Shower fast.

While this does not apply to all small offenses, it can help in more serious situations. The best way to suggest reparations is to suggest how you are going to change bad behavior or habits in the future. Another way to suggest reparations is to ask “What can I do to make this better?”  Then let him know you'll take his comments to heart. Try to keep the apology short and sweet. It will be less muddled and allow for a better conversation. A good apology should be a dialogue, not a monologue. There's a good chance that he is still angry. It's important that you keep your cool during the apology. Listen and express additional regret, if you feel it is necessary, but don't turn the apology into an argument. Stop talking about it once he has accepted the apology. Men often find it easier to accept an apology at face value and move on without resentment; so don’t bring it up unless it becomes an issue again.

TL;DR in English:


Know your background. Set up a public profile. Choose a store name. Product listing. Your about page and policies. Pricing. Make your shop visible.

The first is depreciation, the reduction in the value of the car over the term of the lease. The second is financing, the amount that you pay for the use of the car. It is computed on the amount the leasing company invested to purchase it. The third is sales tax, which is added to the monthly lease payment in many U.S. states and in Canada. Choose a vehicle based on the amount it will depreciate rather than the sales price of the car. Your lease payment is dependent on how much your car depreciates during the lease period. Cars depreciate at different rates, and some models lose much more of their value than others in the first few years of use. When considering an auto lease, shop for a vehicle focusing on the amount a vehicle will depreciate during the lease term rather than the initial sale value of the car. If you are the lessor (or person who is leasing the car to someone else), you want to purchase the car that best retains its purchase price; that is, a car with a low depreciation. Many people know they can negotiate on the sale price of a new car but think they have to pay the advertised price for a lease. Look for special offers from dealers and lease at a time of year when they want to reduce their inventory, such as when new models are arriving in September. Note that you can also lease used cars, especially those coming off their first lease term.

TL;DR in English: Learn the three main components of a lease payment. Shop smart. Negotiate aggressively.

Etsy does not have any membership fees; it’s free to set up an account and public profile. It only members costs 0.20 USD to list one item for 4 months or until making a sale, whichever is first. When the item sells, Etsy collects a fee of 3.5% of the selling price. Also Set up your account as mentioned above in second method. Having an account will give you the authority to carry out transactions of any kind on Etsy, as well as use other tools available on the platform. Your bio and profile are a way for sellers to know your background. The first step is typing in your bio on the ‘About’ field which you can access through Account  - Account settings - Public profile. Here you may introduce yourself, interests, hobbies, education and craft, all what might be of interest to Etsy peoples. Also put up a profile picture. Choose a name that stands out. It should be memorable and related to what you want to sell. Search on Google and social media to ensure no one is using it, because you want this name to be consistent across every online site you will be on. Next, choose a banner from Etsy’s free banners, on which to display your store name. You can also design your own banner if nothing on the pre-designed templates impresses you. Take good pictures of your products – ensure the background and lighting is good, and use a steady hand. Many resources are available on how you can do this. Next, ensure your product descriptions stand out. Explain why anyone would want your products – special features, unique material or craftsmanship or a catchy backstory for vintage items for instance. Be brief and concise on your about description. Use natural flowing language and some pictures to make the page easy to follow. Tell potential customers why your shop exists and what the motivation is for what you do. Have your picture and mini-bio on the side.Define your seller policies and disclaimers so that potential buyers know what to expect. For instance, outline payment and shipping terms, refunds and/or exchanges, and address...

. Piano is a common starter instrument because it's easy to really see the music. Common in many cultures and styles of music, piano or keyboard is an excellent choice if you want to learn an instrument, regardless of whether you're young or old. Piano variations you'll be able to add to your repertoire later might include:  Organ Accordion Synthesizer Harpsichord Harmonium . From classical to death metal, learning to play guitar opens all kinds of doors into new musics and styles. It's had an impact on pop culture more than probably any other instrument, and is a super-popular choice for first-timers everywhere. Pick up an acoustic guitar to stay mobile, or check out its electric cousin to get started bumming out your neighbors and playing heady licks. Once you've got guitar basics mastered, you could also add other instruments to your six-string canon:  Bass guitar Mandolin Banjo Harp Dulcimer One of the most viable careers in music performance revolves around playing classical strings, in orchestral, string-quartet, or other settings. The instruments of the chamber might be right for you if you've got an interest in classical sounds. While they may have a stuffy reputation, these are still commonly used in folk musics and other settings all around the world. The classical strings include:   Violin. This is generally seen as the "lead" instrument in the world of strings. It's got an excellent range, is easy to hold, and is sublimely expressive in a way that few other instruments can even try to be.  Viola. Somewhat larger than a violin, it's deeper and darker in tone than the violin. If you have longer arms, and larger hands, you might consider the viola rather than the violin.  Cello.

Bring some water to a boil. Season the water with salt. Add the dried egg noodles. Boil the noodles until they're soft. Drain the noodles.

If the possum is using a structure to get to the plant, make the structure difficult to climb. Wrap galvanized iron sheets around posts and over beams of structures, such as pergolas. This will stop the possum from being able to grip the surface with its claws.  This also requires ensuring that there are no trees or shrubs next to the structure that allow the possum to ease itself down from. You can also use a plastic garbage can with the bottom cut off and a slit up the side. Put it around the trunk of a tree so that the possum is unable to climb up the tree.  You can wrap sheet metal around the trunk of the tree to make it difficult to climb.  You can also place thick netting around the trunk. The netting will catch the possum's feet and discourage them from climbing. If a possum is eating the new growth off a tree, you need to figure out how to block its access to the tree. Branches should be far enough away from fences and structures so that a possum can't jump to them. This, in combination with blocking access to climbing the trunk of the tree, will give you the best chance of saving your tree from being decimated.  The good news is that while possums can jump, they can't jump very far. An agile, young possum can jump approximately 2.5 meters from a fixed, stable base but less than 2 meters from a swaying tree branch. This means that trimming your trees so they are more than 2 meters from your garden fence or other structure should be sufficient. In particular, you should place netting over these plants while they are sending out new growth shoots or are bearing fruit. The netting will not keep possums out completely but they should make it difficult enough for the possums that much of the fruit will be saved. Also remove any fallen fruit below fruit trees or bushes. Fallen fruit will attract possums to the area, so keep it to a minimum if you can. This method only works if your garden is closed in with fencing, as it stops possums from climbing over the fence. It will take about one day of your time to...

TL;DR in English: Make it hard for possums to climb structures or plants. Trim trees that are being eaten. Put netting on fruit bushes and trees. Place a greased PVC pipe on top of your fence.

Fill a deep saucepan with about two quarts (two liters) of water. Place the pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Once the pot has large bubbles rising rapidly to the surface, the water is boiling. For more flavorful noodles, use chicken broth instead of water. Pour a tablespoon of salt into the boiling water and stir it with a long spoon. Continue stirring until all of the salt has dissolved into the water. If you're using chicken broth, don't add salt. Chicken broth has a high sodium content. These noodles can be found in the pasta section of your local grocery store. However, egg noodles are not the same as pasta. These noodles are made from a mixture of wheat or rice flour and eggs, while pasta is made from semolina dough. You can substitute pasta or other noodles for this dish. However, the flavor of the dish will change dramatically. Let the noodles sit in the hot water for six to eight minutes, or until they're soft and flexible. If you want to test the noodles, use tongs to pull a noodle out of the water and let it cool on a paper towel. Eat the noodle to see if it's ready. Avoid overcooking the noodles. They will become mushy and flavorless. As soon as the noodles are ready, remove the saucepan from the heat. Place a sturdy metal or plastic colander in your sink. Pour the noodles and water into the colander, allowing the water to drain away. Once the noodles have drained, immediately place them in the serving dish.

Remove the spark plug. Check the gas. Try the choke.

Avoid saying things like “cheer up.” This is one of the worst things you can say to someone who is upset, especially if she's struggling with depression or anxiety. When you say this you're telling your friend not to be sad. Telling someone to "cheer up" is putting focus on you more than your friend. You're saying that your feelings of discomfort about her unhappiness is more important than her unhappiness. And that is something a friend should never do. It's important to experience emotions, even when they are unpleasant. Don't tell someone how to feel; everyone is entitled to feeling and expressing emotions. Sometimes it can be hard to know what to say when confronted with a friend who is in pain. Don't avoid your friend because you feel awkward about talking about her problem. Instead, focus on what you can say that is supportive. Often you don't need to say anything other than "I'm so sorry. I'm here for you if you need anything." Don’t make her pain all about you. This is a mistake that a lot of people make! You think that you're relating to your friend and her problems, but instead you're turning it into a you-fest.  You can relate to your friend, but make sure that it doesn’t turn into you telling lots of stories how you went through something similar and that you're just fine now. For example, don't say: "I know what it feels like to be broken up with. Remember when Jordan dumped me in front of everyone? I was feeling so awful about it all the time, but I also got over it. I've been doing really well about the break-up lately." Instead, consider saying something like this: "I know that it really hurts right now. I can promise that you'll feel better later, but right now you're going to feel really unhappy. I'm here for you in whatever you need." Often people don't want you to offer them solutions, especially when they're venting about a situation. What many people want is to feel like they've been heard and that someone knows what they've going through.  For example, don't say: "I know your cat just...

TL;DR in English: Allow your friend to be sad. Resist avoiding your friend. Keep the focus on your friend. Avoid offering solutions unless they ask for them.

To check the ignition spark, find the plug on the engine. Make sure the kill switch near the moped’s handlebars is off before you do this. Try to start the moped. If the engine works, you should see a spark inside of it. Your finger would pop off if you held it over the hole.  If the spark plug looks dirty, try a new one. If the engine won’t start at all, you may need a new battery. Open the fuel tank. If the gas has been sitting in there for at least a month, water will gather at the bottom of the tank. Unscrew the drain screw on the carburetor or undo the hose so that the water comes out. Catch any gas in a container. Use compressed air to blow debris out of the carburetor. If you’re sure there’s a spark, gas infusion, and air moving through the moped, try pressing the choke. It’s the small black rod sticking out of the carburetor. Press it and try to start the engine. If it sounds like it is trying to start, open the throttle, which may be operated by turning the right handlebar towards you. Try starting the engine a few times while doing this.

Make sure the piñata is securely attached to the piñata by tying it to something sturdy.

Put the party favors in the piñata first. Push a 10 ft (3.0 m) piece of rope through the loop on the piñata's top. Choose a low-hanging location with plenty of open space around it. Throw the loose end of the rope over the branch, hoop, or porch beam. Secure the loose end of the rope until it’s time to play the game. Untie the loose end of the rope and lower the piñata to start the game.

Applications like Avast!, Kaspersky, and Bitdefender are great for detecting the common Pageset malware. Using your antivirus program, do a full-system scan to check for any files corrupted or infected by Pageset. After it’s done and the results are displayed, select all the detected threats, and click on the “Remove” or “Delete” button to permanently rid your computer of harmful files and items infected by Pageset (Trojan files). This would be such things like the default home page and search engine settings.

TL;DR in English: Open any antivirus program you have installed on your computer. Do a full-system scan. Wait for the antivirus program to finish scanning. Change back the settings on your web browser that were affected.

Use scissors to cut a hole through the piñata's opening, which is usually on the back and covered by a sticker. Then, insert candy, toys, or other small prizes into the piñata by pushing the items through the hole. Some examples of treats and toys you can use are gummies, hard candies, plastic rings, and tiny candy bars. Find the loop attached to the top of the piñata and thread the end of a piece of rope through the loop. Then, tie the rope in a double knot to secure it to the piñata. Low-hanging tree branches are good options, or you can hang the piñata from a basketball hoop or patio beam. Make sure you choose something sturdy! For example, if you're hanging the piñata from a tree, choose one of the main branches and make sure there are no rotten spots. Make sure the location has plenty of open space around it so the kids have ample room to swing the bat or stick at the piñata. The piñata should be on one side of the branch and the loose end of the rope should be on the other. Pull the end of the rope to lift the piñata off the ground so that it's out of the children’s reach. Tie the dangling loose end of the rope to something sturdy, such as a nearby pole or tree. Be sure to tie the knot loosely, since you'll soon need to untie it! Additionally, make sure the rope isn't in the way of your party goers. Take control of the other end of the rope and lower it so the blindfolded players can reach it with their bats. You can also lower and raise the piñata with the rope to change things up and challenge the partygoers! Make sure the blindfolded child doesn’t hit other children with the stick by accident!

Determine how to approach your loved one. Remind them of the harm smoking causes. Encourage longevity through human connection. Offer your support. Come up with a plan of action with them.

Although Emma is sometimes seen without earrings, she’s also been seen wearing multiple earrings for effect.  Her jewelry is classic and understated, as with her makeup. Go for small black circles in the ears. If going out, perhaps teardrop amber pendants are a good idea. Pearls or small silver hoops are good earring choices if you want to look like Emma. Sometimes, she’s been seen wearing only one dramatic earring with the other ear free of jewelry. You won’t see her wearing necklaces much. She has also said she doesn't like wearing nail polish. Emma is often seen in black, especially when she’s dressing up. She is almost never seen in patterns or anything that’s too revealing or too clingy.  Think classic and elegant with monochrome colors. If you don’t choose black, go for gray, white or red, as those are also colors she favors. She is often seen on the red carpet in all white outfits.  Frilly, lacy frocks or overly short won’t capture her look. Think simple. A long caramel skirt with silk black blouse. A white pants suit.  A black blazer. Emma loves to wear tailored suits. You will see her in both black and white pantsuits.  She’s a fan of jackets and blazers, which she might pair with a buttoned-down shirt. It’s sort of a business look but in an elegant, feminine way. She doesn’t wear menswear in a way that it looks like menswear though. Think Katharine Hepburn if you want a sense of Emma’s style. One magazine described this look of Emma’s as being a wardrobe of “own-it-forever” pieces. That’s how one magazine described Emma’s look at times. It’s never too fuzzy, and it’s sometimes very relaxed.  For example, Emma has been seen wearing a headband across her forehead or flowers in her brown hair.  Above all, have the courage to be yourself, and always show confidence about who you are. Emma has pointed out her imperfections (which seem small to everyone else) in interviews. She has said she’s not stick thin and doesn’t regard her teeth as perfect. However, she also has said she doesn’t want to look like...

TL;DR in English: Pierce your ears. Wear black a lot. Go for the tailored look. Get a boho vibe.

Since it's a sensitive topic, it’s a good idea to plan your approach first.  Decide where you want to have the conversation. Somewhere familiar and comfortable is best. Come up with a way to bring the topic up without being too abrupt. You want to cut down on shock as much as possible. Prepare for possible hurt feelings by having planned reactions. For example, if they say, “I can make my own decisions” you reply with, “that’s true and I’m not trying to tell you what to do. I’m just concerned because…” Appeal to their emotional side. This way they’ll know your motivation is in the right place and will be more likely to listen to your advice. Think about what’s important to them and use that as an entry point. For example, if they care about their kids, remind them how secondhand smoke could affect them. Smoking is an unhealthy habit, not only for the person who smokes but also for the people around them. It’s important to keep these messages positive. Don’t berate, nag, or induce fear into your loved one.  Remind them how much you love them and want to keep them around for many years to come. Smoking causes serious health conditions like lung cancer. It’s also a known cause of Osteoporosis, stroke, and depression.  If your loved one values physical beauty, encourage them to preserve their beauty by avoiding smoking-induced wrinkles and yellow teeth. Remind them of their own loved ones (children, grandchildren, husband/wife, valued friends) and how important they are to the people around them. Placing pictures of young people might help serve as a motivating daily reminder. Make the quitting process as easy as possible for your loved one.  Offer to be available by phone when they need you if a craving happens. Let them know you’ll be supportive through the whole process. Recruit others to be part of the support network as well, if possible. Design a concrete plan that your loved one can follow on a daily basis that will help them avoid smoking. You can adjust the plan as needed, but this gives them something...

TL;DR in English:


Be persistent and not take “no” for an answer.

Don’t take “no” for an answer. State your opinions directly. Stand your ground in an argument or a discussion.

It's best to start with the second floor or up, since the first floor will likely differ in appearance from the subsequent floors. The hallway should be a minimum of two blocks wide. To get a feel for how spacious the rooms will be with the hallways in place, add two parallel rows of blocks where the hallway walls will be, then review the space between the inside of a row of blocks and the hotel's outer wall.  If you have less than four blocks of depth in a room, you may want to either narrow your hall or expand your hotel. If your hotel is an odd number of blocks wide, your hallways will need to be at least three blocks wide. These walls should run perpendicular to both the hall walls and the walls opposite of them. As with the hall walls, feel free to lay down a one-block-high wall to see what the walls will look like in practice before committing to building an entire wall.  This is a process you'll complete for each floor. Consider varying room size, since a real hotel would do the same. The way to do this will vary based on your hotel design thus far. You have a couple of options:  Place a staircase in a hallway that branches off from the main hallways. Alternate staircases between each end of the hallways for subsequent floors. You can select stairs from the building materials tab in the ... menu. You'll need two blocks' worth of vertical space for one door, though you'll need a four-by-four space if you're planning on adding double-doors.

TL;DR in English: Pick a floor to begin working on. Create a hallway through the middle of a floor. Place dividing walls between rooms. Add stairs between your floors. Remember to leave a space for a door for rooms.
###
You can demonstrate a stubborn, strong-willed nature by being persistent and not taking “no” for an answer. Try to figure out a way to get what you want and satisfy the needs of others. Finding a way to get a “yes” means you are able to channel your aggression into productive results. For example, perhaps you are trying to apply for insurance coverage for a family member who is ill. Insurance companies can be difficult to deal with and may end up turning your application down. Rather than accept their “no”, you may call them persistently or calmly refuse to leave their office until the matter is resolved or you speak to an authority figure who can help you. Do not yell, berate, or bully — instead, remain calm and be very clear about what you want, avoiding abusive language. It's ok to stand your ground, but do not get inflamed over it. Having an assertive personality also means that you are not shy about your opinions or thoughts. You should be willing to openly state your feelings to others and not try to hide them. Being honest and upfront will show others that you are strong-willed. For example, you may have a co-worker who asks your opinion on how to best serve a picky client. Rather than brush off his question, you should state your opinion and tell the co-worker how you would address the issue. Offer to work with your co-worker to make the client happy, using your assertive personality for something productive and helpful. You should also stand up for what you believe in and demonstrate your strong will during an argument or a discussion. You should be willing to stick to your stance. This will show others that you are determined and willing to act assertively. For example, maybe you get in a heated debate about abortion rights with a friend. Rather than back down on your stance, you may decide to stand your ground and defend your position. Though you and your friend may agree to disagree in the end, at least you will have stood your ground and made it clear how you feel about the issue.

TL;DR in English:


Pick a stock with a Standard and Poor's (S&P) Quality Rating of at least B+. Evaluate the cash flow of the company. Check to see if the company is paying dividends.

This may seem counter-intuitive to getting rid of someone, but the fact is that if you don’t answer the door, they are likely to mark you as “not home” and return in the near future.  If you truly want to be rid of them, you will need to answer the door and let them know. It sounds rude, but doesn’t have to be.  They are likely to delve right into their script and it will only become harder to get a word in.  Politely interrupt to take control of the conversation.  When a Jehovah’s Witness starts talking, interrupt with a polite, “Excuse me” to get their attention. Try raising your hand an holding it between the two of you at chest level with your palm facing the other person and begin your interjection with, “Hold on.” If you wait until the Jehovah’s Witness asks a question, you can simply reply with, “I’d rather not have this conversation.” If you make up a reason for not wanting to talk to them, they may see this as an invitation to come back at another time.  This also initiates a conversation.  Be honest and direct with your response in order to get your point across and avoid one of their conversation starters. Avoid making up excuses.  They are trained to respond to specific protests, and may consider returning in the future if you are just too busy right now. Choose very few words to decline their invitation to talk.  It is unnecessary to be rude, and arguing will only spur on the conversation.  A simple, polite decline will do the trick.  Once you have a chance to speak, try a simple, “No thank you.” You can also be direct saying, “I’m not interested, thanks.” Don’t slam it in their face, but understand that they have been trained to keep the conversation going.  Once you have declined, close the door gently.  This is important, because, like telemarketers or any solicitor, they are not likely to accept the first, “no” and will do their best to reengage you.  Closing the door may be the only way to end the conversation. If this feels rude to you, try saying, “sorry” as you close the door.

TL;DR in English: Answer the door. Interrupt them. Be honest. Politely decline. Close the door.

Standard and Poor's is a major financial company that runs several important stock indexes. Their ratings are considered a gold standard in the industry. Their quality scale runs from D (for low-quality stocks) all the way up to A+ (for quality stocks). A B+ rating indicates that the stock is stable and likely to grow. You can check the quality rating on the S&P website. A company with a positive cash flow and a low price is usually undervalued. Check the cash flow of the company on the “Cash Flow” section of their stock profile online. Compare the current cash flow to previous quarters or years. Look for cash flow that has stayed steady or increased. Avoid stocks with negative or decreasing cash flow. Cash flow tells you how much money the company actually holds. A positive cash flow may indicate that the stock is more liquid, which means that it is easier to sell when you are ready. Dividends are small yearly payments paid to shareholders from the company. Dividends allow you to make a small profit while you wait for your undervalued stocks to become overvalued stocks. Look for stocks that pay steady or increasing dividends each year. To see if a stock pays dividends, look on their stock profile for dividend yields. If the company has a dividend yield posted, then it means that they pay out dividends.

You won't be able to find your newly installed fonts in Illustrator if you install them while Illustrator is running. If you haven't yet downloaded the fonts that you want to install, find and download them before continuing.  Fonts for Illustrator must be complete, meaning that they must include bold, italic, and underlined templates in addition to a full alphabet of upper- and lower-case letters. You can download fonts in .OTF, .TFF, .PFP, and .TTF formats. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Click the folder icon in the lower-left side of the Start window. Click the folder in which the font's ZIP folder is located (e.g., Downloads) in the left-hand column of the File Explorer. You may have to open additional folders in the main window to find the ZIP folder itself. This will select the folder. This tab is at the top of the File Manager window. Doing so will prompt a toolbar to appear below the Extract tab. It's on the right side of the toolbar. The folder will begin extracting itself into a regular folder. Once it does, the font's extracted folder should open, meaning that you can now interact with the font file. Doing so will open a window previewing the font. It's at the top of the preview window. This will install your selected font for any application that uses fonts on your computer, including Illustrator. If there are separate font files for bold, italic, and so on, you'll need to double-click and install each of them in order for the font to work in Illustrator.

Learn about the religion's customs beforehand. Do what others do. Don’t take offense by religion.

Eating food, aside from Monster Meats, is always a good way to recover hunger, health, and sanity. Earlier on in the game, your main source of food will be from rabbits caught in traps, berries picked from berry bushes, and carrots lying around, all of which you can cook over a campfire and eat to restore your Hunger. However, for food that restores sanity, you'll need more thorough methods.  Carrots can be found poking out of the ground and Berry bushes are scattered around the world. You can pick them up by left-clicking or pressing X. To catch rabbits, make a trap with 6 Cut Grass and 2 Twigs. You can craft it in the Survival tab, represented by a looped rope icon. Once created, place it near or on top of a rabbit hole, which is a small hole in the ground found in grasslands and savannahs, then wait until a rabbit is caught. Once caught, the trap will rattle and jump around. If you pick it up, you’ll get both the trap and the rabbit. You can then re-use the trap for 7 more times before it disappears. You’ll need to “murder” the rabbit before you can make use of the meat, though. Right-clicking (PC) it or pressing the right direction button (PS4) when a rabbit is selected will do the trick. With a Science Machine, you can also craft a Bird Trap for 3 Twigs and 4 Silk through the Survival tab. This functions similarly to a trap, but only catches birds. To make a farm plot, you need at least a Science Machine. You can make it through the Food tab, represented by a buried carrot icon, for 8 Grass, 4 Manure, and 4 Logs. You can get Manure from Beefalo, which excrete them regularly at random intervals and are found in savannahs. You can also get Manure by feeding a pig, found individually in random spots in the map or collectively in huge villages normally found at the end of roads, with some non-meat food (berries, carrots, produce from farm plots, cave bananas, etc.). Once you’ve placed the farm plot, you can put a seed on it by selecting the seed and interacting with the farm. You can either wait for it to...

There are times when you might find yourself attending a religious funeral, where you are unfamiliar with the religion's customs. In order to avoid embarrassing or inappropriate situations, do some research beforehand on the different customs for that religion. For example, it is unconventional to bring flowers to a Jewish funeral. For Catholic funerals, it is conventional to send a mass card to the family of the deceased. If you are unsure about what is appropriate at a funeral service, do what others do; stand when people stand, and sit when people sit. It helps if you sit at the back of the venue so you can follow the other’s lead. Remember, you do not have to do anything you are uncomfortable with. If you are attending a religious funeral whose denomination you are not a member of, you do not have to sing or pray with everyone. Instead, bow your head in a respectful manner as if you are reflecting.

Cutting your lumber. Drill holes for rebar. Install boards. Fill in the land side. Maintaining your seawall.

If you plan on creating an original design, you might want to take a piece of paper and a pencil to sketch out some concept designs. If you plan on using a pre-made image, like one used by your favorite artist, video game, or TV show, you should should find a high resolution copy of the image. High resolution images will result in crisper, cleaner stencils. Beginners might want to stick with simple designs while learning the basics of stencil printing. A simple line drawing or thick, plain, black text will work well for your stencil. This can be easily done on a computer with image editing software, like Adobe Photoshop or MS Paint. You might import an image from online or your personal image library and make some modifications to it with your editing software, or you might use your own original artwork. If you don't have a printer, you can always look into how to make a stencil by hand.  With image editing software, it will be easy for you to move around components of the design until you are happy with it. Text, in particular, will likely require some adjustment for you to get the right placement and size.  Compare the size of your design to your substrate, which is the technical name for the thing you'll be stenciling onto later. This will prevent you from creating a stencil that is too large. Some examples of substrates you might stencil your design onto include: t-shirts, backpacks, posters, towels, walls, folders, and so on. You might want to change your image properties to "Black and white" before printing. This will make it easier to identify the parts you will need to cut from your image to make your stencil. You should print your image in black and white on a sturdy piece of paper, like card stock or posterboard. Depending on your printer, you may be able to cut a piece of white posterboard or card stock down to the size of a normal sheet of paper and use it in your printer as you would normally.  Depending on your region and printer, your standard paper size may vary. Generally, you can expect most...

Now you will measure and cut your boards. Your wooden boards are 10’ (3.04m) long. You will 2 of these to fill each (approximately) 2 x 8’ (60.96 x 243.8cm) space between each set of poles.  You metal poles are all 4’ (1.21m) long, with half of each buried in the ground. It will require 2 - 2’ x12” (5.08 x 2.54cm) boards to fill this space. Use a circular saw to cut these boards (originally 10’/3.04m long) to the proper length (approximately 8’/2.43m). Even though you set your poles 8’ (2.43m) apart, it is important to measure each space and each board individually before cutting. Changes in the shoreline can cause discrepancies. Now you will line up each board with each set of poles and mark the locations where you will drill holes for the rebar to pass through. Each board will have 2 holes drilled on either side. Once again, be sure to specifically measure each board to each piece of rebar before you drill. Fit the boards onto the poles by sliding each piece of rebar into the hole that has been drilled for it. This is not so easy, and will require at least 2 people. Install your lumber so that it is flush with the post. Then twist a nut and washer onto each piece of rebar to secure it.  You may need to bend or reposition the rebar in order to make it fit through the holes in your lumber. You can accomplish this by sliding a 2-foot piece of hollow conduit over each piece of rebar, using it to bend the rebar to fit. At the end of the project, you may want to remove excess rebar with a reciprocating saw. Fill in the land side of your seawall with rocks and large gravel, to allow for adequate drainage. Cover these rocks with sand, and finally finish with a layer of topsoil. It is an excellent idea to provide annual maintenance to your existing seawall. Look for broken, cracked, or rotten boards. Remove the nuts, remove the boards, and replace them with fresh wood. Your metal posts should remain in tact for 5 or more years. If they become loose, they may need to be replaced as well.

Reread your final manuscript with your working title in mind. Does it still fit? Strive for a final title that is concise and compelling. A title should sum up the message of your book in a way that piques interest but is not excessively mysterious. Include the title in a larger font on the cover of the book.  Google your prospective title to make sure it isn’t already taken. Sharpen your title idea by using precise nouns and active verbs. “Sadness beside the Tree” is less compelling than “Longing under the Maple.” Keep key plot points or spoilers a secret with your title. If there is a subheading to your title, put it below the title in a smaller font. The exact point size of each will depend upon the look you’re going for and the physical size of the book. Seek out at examples at your local bookstore to get inspiration. If you’ll be hiring a graphic designer to create your cover, simply write down your final title name.

If any of the shows you listed were local news channels or major series on major networks like ABC or NBC, the first step is to connect an indoor or outdoor antenna.  Antennae are available for $20 to $60 online or in box stores. You may want to consider a small indoor antenna, like the Mohu Leaf, which is smaller and less imposing than other models. Antennae usually pick up channels that are broadcast from 35 miles (56 km) away or less. Availability and picture quality will depend upon your location. This is essential for fans of local news or sports broadcasts. Before buying any new device, check to see if your TV is set up to receive Internet streaming from its main interface.  If you have an Internet TV, you can stream movies and television shows through Netflix and Hulu Plus, although it will not extend to other televisions or specialty channels. If you are in the market for a new TV, you may as well purchase an Internet TV, to access movies and TV through these services. If you have a high quality wireless network, then the Roku streaming device is the cheapest and easiest option to set up streaming from regular TVs.  Roku devices are between $50 and $100. The price depends upon the processing speed you require. Get a Roku if you want to stream sports. Apple TV and Roku are the first devices to support sports and movie streaming when new services are released. If you have more than 1 television in your home, you can buy a Roku for each set. The single purchase price of the Roku often equals one month’s cable bill or less. Roku are best for homes that don’t want to do any streaming on the computer or other devices. Older viewers find the Roku requires little set up, as well as a low learning curve. If you simply want to use Netflix and Hulu Plus for network shows, seasons of cable TV shows and movies, then this is the cheapest option with easy set up. A similar device to the Roku is the WD TV Play, created by Western Digital. The price is approximately $70 and supports Netflix and Hulu Plus. Apple TV...

Scales is a great way to learn how to balance your body.

Stand on one foot. Raise one leg slowly in front of you. Switch legs after each scale. Do a back-leg skill using the same methods.

The most effective way to get reviews is to ask your customers for one. And the most effective way to ask is face-to-face. While you are still with the customer, you can say, “If you were satisfied with our service, please let other people know.”  Asking is particularly effective when staff has spent some time with the customer. For example, a sales associate who helps a person pick out a bed has built a small bond with the customer. It is less effective for a cashier who has seen someone for thirty seconds to ask for a review. Asking face-to-face also allows you to prescreen whether the customer had a good experience. If they didn’t, you don’t need to ask for a review. Sometimes an email request is the best way to solicit reviews. Try to find out if the person had a good experience before asking for the review. For example, you can ask them to complete a short survey. If the customer is positive about the experience, you ask them for a review.  Try to have the email come from a person the customer knows, and make sure to include the customer’s name in the subject line. Put links to review sites in the email. You can also use a “Find us on Yelp” banner. Few people leave reviews unless they have had a negative experience. For this reason, you might need to create incentives. For example, you could offer a coupon for future services or a small gift.  Remember that the offer should be for leaving a review, not leaving a positive one. You can’t buy positive reviews.  Realize that Yelp doesn’t allow you to offer incentives in exchange for reviews. If you work in an industry that is heavily covered by Yelp, then you might want to forego incentives for customers. Alternately, you could send the coupon or other gift after the customer writes the review. You’ll get more reviews if all employees understand their importance. Create a bonus program for employees to make sure that they encourage customers to leave reviews. For example, you could give a $50 bonus for each review a customer leaves.  Be careful, however....

TL;DR in English: Ask customers to review you. Request reviews by email. Consider creating incentives for customers. Build incentives for staff. Thank your reviewers. Leverage your positive reviews.

Keep your planted leg straight, along with your upper body. The purpose of scales is to learn how to stably balance your body. In order to be a skilled gymnast, you need complete control of your muscles at all times. Scales allows you to practice this skill in a safe environment. Hold your arms apart for balance. Keep your toes pointed forward and both legs and torso straight. Once your leg is in position, hold it in place for a few seconds. You will want to strengthen and learn how to balance both sides of your body equally. Bring your foot up higher and repeat your scales after doing them with both legs. With training, you will eventually be able to keep your balance with your leg facing forward at a right angle to your body. Swing one leg backwards, keeping both your legs straight. Tilt your body forward to maintain a straight line between your body and airborne leg. With practice, you will be able to do a back leg scale so far that your body and leg become parallel with the ground.

Make sure the check is written in a way that is clear and unambiguous. For example, if the check is for $400.00, the recipient will have written "Four hundred dollars and No/100." If the check is for $400.99, the recipient will have written "Four hundred dollars and No

Read the check amount. Make sure the written amount matches up with the numerical amount. See if the check includes a memo.

If you haven't already, find the exact height and width of the area where you want your TV to go. You'll also need to note the depth of cabinets, stands, or entertainment centers to determine whether they're big enough to hold your TV.  For maximum accuracy, round off your measurements to the nearest 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm). Jot the dimensions of your display space on a piece of paper and keep them with you when you're shopping around for your new TV. Make sure the stand or section of wall you’ll be using is at least half a hand’s width larger than your TV on all sides. That way, you can ensure that it fits comfortably and avoid any unpleasant surprises when it comes time to set it up.  You may be able to squeeze a 50 in (130 cm) TV into an entertainment center with a 45 inches (110 cm) opening, but it will probably be too cramped to look good. A better choice would be a 46 in (120 cm) or 48 in (120 cm) model, which will provide a little breathing room on either side. You’ll need to know your TV’s width and height if you intend to mount it on the wall. If you want to place it on a stand or in an enclosed cabinet, and you’ll also need to factor in its depth. A 50 in (130 cm) screen may sound impressive, but it could be a little underwhelming if you’re watching from the opposite side of the room. When it comes to arriving at a reliable size estimate, a good rule of thumb is to multiply the distance between your seating area and TV in inches by 0.84.  If you’re going to be sitting about 72 inches (180 cm) away from your TV, for instance, a 60 in (150 cm) will provide optimum visibility. Another option is to use an online viewing calculator to get a better idea of what size screen would look best in your display space, or how far away you should sit from a screen of a certain size to get the best view. The term “aspect ratio” refers to the relation between the width and height of a TV’s display image. Newer widescreen TVs normally have an aspect ratio of 16:9. This means that the picture has a height of 9 inches...

TL;DR in English: Measure your intended display space. Allow for an extra 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) of room in your display space. Pick out a TV big enough to see clearly from where you’ll be sitting. Understand your TV's aspect ratio to enjoy the best picture. Multiply standard screen sizes by 1.22 to get the same aspect ratio on a widescreen TV.

The check amount appears twice on the check, once in words and once in digits. First, read the amount as written in words.  Towards the center of a check, there should be a line below the recipient's name with a numerical amount written out in words. The payor writes the amount a check is for to make sure there's no confusion at the bank. They also include the amount of change, if any, as a fraction.  For example, say the check is for $400.00. In the line, the payor would write, "Four hundred dollars and No/100." Once you've read the amount the check is for, make sure this matches up with the numbers written on the check. Just to the right of where the amount is written out, there will be a small box with a currency sign next to it. The recipient will have written the amount the check is worth, in numerals, in this box. Returning to the above example, this box should contain the numbers "$400.00." If the two amounts are not the same, the amount written out in words is the amount that will be honored. For example, if the amount written out is "Four hundred dollars and No/100" and the amount in digits is "$400.99," the check will be redeemed for $400 in cash(the amount written out in words). Some checks include memos. These can be found on a line on the bottom left corner of a check. The memo usually includes information on why the check was written. For example, a rent check may include a memo that says something like "For December Rent." Language in the memo field is legally binding on the person cashing the check in rare instances.

This is probably the only universal rule of fashion. Wearing perfectly fitted clothing makes you appear more put together and mature, even if you're just wearing a T-shirt and jeans. If you have unique proportions that make shopping difficult, try bringing your clothes to a tailor for alterations. Wearing clothing inappropriate for a situation may make you appear unprepared or foolish. You may not be the type of guy who wears a suit every day; just make sure you own one for when you're expected to wear it.  For more formal occasions like a job interview or wedding, stick to a dark matching suit. Your dress shirt and tie can be colorful as long as they don't clash or look tacky. Business casual is a happy medium for when you want to look sharp without overdoing it. Wear a collared shirt, slacks, and dress shoes. Pair with a blazer for a smarter look or a sweater. Ties are optional. This is a good look for networking events, evening parties, and first dates.  Casual wear covers just about everything else, such as the classic T-shirt and jeans look. This can be your day-to-day style. Cities with warmer climates may be more lax with dress codes. Nobody wants to wear a dark suit and jacket in extreme weather. If you aren't sure what to wear to an event, ask other men who will be there what they plan on wearing. If you're going to a restaurant or venue, try figuring out what's expected by looking up photos of the establishment online. No matter how much or how little you spend on your wardrobe, taking care of your clothing will keep them looking better for longer.  Learn how to sew to be able to make minor repairs on the fly. If you really can't stitch, have someone who can mend minor damage before it becomes major. Iron your dress shirts. Wrinkles make you look sloppy. Find a good local cleaner. Some types of clothing you shouldn't do yourself. A professional will know how to remove tough stains and get your clothes looking great again.  Avoid wearing clothes with stains and holes in them.

Outline the verses, choruses, and bridge to your song. Pick a title for your song based on your loved one’s characteristics. Figure out the lyrics of your chorus first. Choose an alternating rhyme scheme for your verses. Make the lines in your bridge rhyme with one another.

If you are interested, smile at him, and if he says something funny, laugh. Put down your phone, and make eye contact while you are talking. You're not just being superficial. Rather, you're showing him you're interested in him, just as he's interested in you. Also, the brain perceives the smiles of other people as a reward. In other words, when you smile at someone, their brain processes that as a reward. If you want to encourage someone who's flirting with you, a smile is a good place to start. If he's just smiling at you, don't be afraid to say hello if you want to talk to him more. If he’s asking you questions, respond in such a way that leaves room for more conversation. You want to open the conversation, so he understands that you find him interesting.  One way to encourage him to start talking is to ask him his opinion about something. For instance, ask what he thinks of the restaurant, what he's eating, or even a question about the team playing on television behind you. Make questions open-ended. Asking a simple yes-or-no question will get you a simple yes-or-no answer. An open ended question requires more than a simple yes or no to answer it. For instance, asking "Do you like the wine?" is a yes-or-no question. Asking "What do you like about that wine?" requires that he provide a deeper answer. If he’s been flirting with you, he’s most likely said some nice things to you, so return the favor. Everyone likes to hear nice things about themselves, and guys are no exception. Plus, giving him a compliment back lets him know you're interested.  Keep it honest. Try to look for something you can sincerely compliment him on, and make it specific. For example, "You're handsome," is pretty general. "Your smile lights up the room," is much more specific. Don't stick to just good looks. Complimenting his brain can be just as flirtatious. For example, you could say, "What an insightful comment. You seem like a really smart guy." It's not enough just to open up the conversation. You also have a responsibility to...

Many songs, especially love songs follow a very similar pattern, containing 2-3 verses, 2-3 choruses, and a bridge. On a piece of paper, write the following structure for a basic love song: Verse 1 - Chorus - Verse 2 - Chorus - Bridge - Verse 3 - Chorus. Leave room between your headings to write your lyrics on your paper.  Verses usually consist of 4-6 long lines, or 8-10 short lines. Choruses are usually about 4-6 lines long. The bridge of a song is usually a 2 line section between the second chorus and the third verse or chorus. Think about the person you’re writing the song for and make a list of some of the things you really love about them. Then, pick one of their characteristics that you want to expand on in your song and use it to influence your title. Keep your title between 1-4 words to keep it simple.  For example, if you want to write a song about how your loved one is a happy presence in your life, you may title the song “Joy” or “Happiness.” Whatever you choose for your title, make sure the rest of your lyrics match the theme. Since your chorus is the most repeated section of your song, try to write it before any other part of your song. Use simple words so your song is catchy and easy to sing along with. In your chorus, try to repeat the title of your song 2-3 times so your loved one will get the song stuck in their head. Plan out 4 lines using similes or metaphors to create imagery.  For example, if you want to write a song called “Joy,” you may use a chorus like: Your joy is a wave spreading over me, And reaching out to the end of the sea, Your joy makes me feel at home, Because with you I’m never alone  You may either make the first two lines one rhyme and the last 2 lines a different rhyme, or you can alternate so line 1 rhymes with line 3, and line 2 rhymes with line 4. Verses are what tell the story throughout your song, so you can use them to expand on how you feel about your loved one. Use an A-B-A-B rhyme scheme so alternating lines end in the same sound. Pick a focus for each verse so...

The more crisp the bill, the easier it will be to make clean folds. Make sure there aren’t any existing creases, because you’ll be creating new creases that will guide you throughout the folding of the turtle.  If you can’t find a crisp $1 bill, try looking for a $10 or $20 bill. Work on a flat surface like a desk or workbench so you can press hard on the folds. Fold the dollar bill in half, lining the top of the bill with the very bottom of the bill. The top and bottom edges should not overlap or be folded on an angle. If you unfolded the bill, there would be a line running horizontally through the middle of the bill. Fold it in half, so the left edge lines up with the right edge of the bill. Press down with your fingernail to flatten out the bill. The bill should now be exactly a quarter of the size that it was when you started. This should reveal two creases forming a perpendicular cross in the middle of the bill. This also splits your bill into 4 equally sized quadrants. The cross should meet right in the middle of George Washington’s cheek. The right hand side of the bill should align with the center crease. This also should leave George Washington’s face half covered by the right side of your bill. This should form a point where you folded both sides and resemble an upside down pyramid. Make sure the flat end of the pyramid lines up, so you’re getting a perfectly diagonal crease. Unfold the bill so it’s flat, and repeat the steps, this time using the top corners of the bill. Take the top left hand corner of the bill and bring it down, creating a 90 degree angle. Repeat with the right hand corner. At this point, you should have two X shapes formed by the creases you just made. Fold the X on both sides so that each one has a crease running down the middle. Take the left edge of your bill and fold it horizontally so it lines up with the center crease, to get a perfect vertical crease down the center of your X. This is the last crease that you need to make before you start folding your bill into a turtle....

TL;DR in English: Obtain a crisp, crease-free bill. Fold the dollar bill in half, lengthwise. Fold the bill in half, from right to left. Unfold the bill and flatten it. Fold the bottom right hand corner on a 90 degree angle. Fold the bottom left hand corner to the center crease. Unfold then fold the top right and left corner of the bill to the center crease. Fold the two Xs in half, vertically. Unfold your bill.

If you’re going clubbing on a busy night, like a Friday or Saturday, there may be a line to get inside. Get in the back of the line and chat with your friends while you wait. The line should move quickly! Most clubs have a bouncer standing outside that checks everyone’s IDs to make sure they’re old enough to get in. Take your ID out before you get to the bouncer so you're ready when it's your turn. Be polite and respectful! The bouncer can turn you away if you're group is being rowdy or rude. Some clubs charge people at the door to get in. Use cash in the exact amount if you have it. If you’re using a card, you may need to sign a receipt. The wristband is so the bartenders and security know you’re of legal age and that you paid to get in. If the bouncer doesn’t put a wristband on you, there may be an attendant inside that will. Don’t take off or lose your wristband or you could get kicked out of the club!

Value other people’s opinions. Speak with kind words. Apologize when you make mistakes.

A One Star rating requires a solid performance on all four tracks of the Cup. While the game doesn't tell you the exact requirements, there are a few general guidelines to follow. If you're partway through a cup and fall way behind these goals, you may want to quit and retry to save time.  Finish the cup with at least 53 points total across the four tracks. For instance, you could place 1st, 1st, 1st, 4th, or 1st, 1st, 2nd, 3rd (the order does not matter). You have a high chance of success if you place 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd or better. Faster completion time will also help. Avoid leaving the road more than two or three times in the entire cup, unless using a boost item. Avoid banging into a wall or an obstacle more than once or twice in the cup. Avoid falling off the track more than once in the cup. Stay in first for a significant amount of each race. When behind, try to catch up without using items whenever possible. If you are hit with many blue shells and similar items in a short amount of time, the game will take this into account and relax the above guidelines a little. If this happens, you may still be able to get a One Star ranking even if you use items to get in first, or if you don't finish in the rank or time limit normally required. If you are having trouble finishing in 1st or 2nd, play a Medium or Large character and a vehicle with good speed. If you can stay in 1st for much of the race, but you frequently hit obstacles or walls, play a Medium or Small character and a vehicle with good handling and acceleration. Before racing, you can set your drifting mode to Automatic or Manual. For best results, set it to Manual and be prepared to press the B button (and shake the Wii mote, if in use) to start drifting sideways when you notice sparks from your wheels. However, if you are using the Wii Wheel, Automatic may give better results do to increased manual drifting difficulty with that controller. .

Listen to people’s ideas, opinions, and advice with an open mind. Even if you don't necessarily agree with them, consider their words without immediately dismissing them. Show that you value the person and what they are saying. You can do this by not speaking over them, asking questions to enhance your understanding, and listening to their opinion, even if it’s different from yours. There is almost always a kind way to say something. This can be the difference between hurting someone’s feelings and making an insightful observation. If you tend to be hurtful or angry in your words, especially during disagreements, get into the practice of using kind words instead.  For example, instead of saying, “You never pay at restaurants when we eat together,” say, “I got the last meal, would you like to get this one?” Using “I” instead of “you” statements when you talk to other people is more respectful and helps to communicate your perspective without making people defensive. Avoid putting someone down, speaking down to them, insulting them, and calling them names. If your discussion is at this point, it’s unlikely you’re treating them with respect. Take a break. If you mess up, own it. It’s normal to make mistakes, but it’s important to acknowledge your mistakes and how they impact others. When you make an apology, show that you are remorseful and know that you made a mistake. If possible, make amends. Try saying something like, “I am sorry I raised my voice at you. That was rude and disrespectful. In the future, I will do my best to speak calmly to you.”

You can often find crayfish for purchase at marine shops that sell tropical fish, as well as some pet stores. Before you start shopping around, do a little reading on the different species and their individual needs. It’s a good idea to start with a single crayfish until you have an understanding of how to properly look after them.  Crayfish usually go for $20, or more. With the rarer varieties, they can for $30 or even more! In some parts of the world, you can catch crayfish in streams or other shallow bodies of water. Just grab a small net and start hunting under rocks until you spot one that will make a suitable pet. to house your crayfish. Generally speaking, the tank you choose should be large enough to hold at least 5–10 gallons (19–38 L) for each crayfish inside. However, a 15–20 US gal (57–76 L) tank is ideal, especially for larger varieties. An air bubbler or long bubble wall is also a must, as it’s possible for crayfish to drown if they stay submerged for too long without a separate source of oxygen.  Crayfish thrive in cool conditions like mud flats and riverbeds, so stay away from heated aquariums. Look for tanks that feature built-in aeration and filtration units to keep the water clean and circulating properly. Crayfish prefer water with a neutral pH (around 7.0). Ideally, the temperature of the water should remain somewhere between 70–75 °F (21–24 °C). You should have no problem keeping the water at the right temperature if you’ve set up your tank indoors.  A pH testing kit can come in handy for determining how acidic or basic the water in your tank is. You can typically find these kits in the fish section at pet stores, or wherever pool supplies are sold. Avoid adding objects like seashells to your tank, as foreign minerals can throw off the pH of the water. e tank at least once a week.

Do you want to bike outdoors or use a stationary bike? The advantage of stationary bikes is that you can do other things while you ride, like watch your favorite TV show. Regular bikes, however, get you outdoors and can have a positive impact on the environment if they replace transport by car. Of course, you can always do both.  If you choose a regular bike, be aware that there are many different bike styles, from mountain bikes to road bikes to beach cruisers to fixed gear bikes. Bikes can vary widely in price. The type of bike you choose will depend on your body type and on where you plan on riding. Talk to your local dealer, and consider arranging a bike fitting.  If you choose a stationary bike, you’ll either need to buy one or join a gym. You’ll also need to decide between a recumbent or an upright bike. Choose the former if you have back problems; choose the latter if you don’t. Upright bikes also help strengthen your core. According to Cornell University weight-loss researcher Brian Wansink, wearing fitted clothes made of lycra instead of baggier outfits makes it easier to keep track of your weight loss. Wansink found that prisoners tend to gain weight because of the baggy jumpsuits they’re forced to wear.  Loose-fitting clothes will also create drag and slow you down. Choose clothes that make more visible to motorists.  Over-dressing to sweat more (a common practice in France) won’t actually help you lose weight. A helmet is a must-have if you plan on taking your bike on the road. Make sure you buy one that fits you properly. You’ll also want to bring along a patch kit to repair busted tires and a small hand pump to inflate them. If you plan on storing your bike outside, get a bike lock.  It’s also a good idea to carry a saddlebag to store your ID, your keys, and your phone, which might fall out of your pockets as you ride.  Carrying a water bottle means that you can stay hydrated while you ride.  Consider carrying carbon dioxide cylinders in your pack to quickly re-inflate flat tires.

Drink plenty of water every day to keep your skin hydrated. Eat a healthy diet rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Protect yourself from the sun to avoid damaging your skin. Get a good night's sleep so you'll look refreshed. Find ways to manage your stress levels to keep your skin looking bright. Take steps to quit if you're a smoker. Avoid drinking alcohol in excess, as it can affect your skin's appearance.

Look around the edges and corners of the contact paper for any parts that may have lifted up slightly. Grasp the edge or corner and slowly tug the contact paper upward to start peeling it from the glass. Don’t worry if the contact paper breaks or if it's stuck in some areas and just focus on getting rid of what you can. It's best not to use heat to remove contact paper from windows and other glass surfaces. This is because if there is a large temperature difference, the glass could break. Attach a single-edge razor blade to a scraper and gently scrape around the edges of the remaining contact paper. When there is enough of the contact paper lifted to hold, use your fingernails to peel the contact paper away from the glass. You can find single-edge razor blades at home improvement and paint stores. Wear gloves and pour some adhesive remover onto a cleaning sponge. Rub the adhesive remover over the sticky residue and wait for 2-3 minutes to let it start working. Then use a clean cloth or the scraper again to easily wipe or scrape away the sticky residue. Choose an adhesive remover that’s designed for non-absorbent surfaces like glass. It’s likely that the glass won’t be looking its best after the contact paper! Get a microfiber cloth and dampen it very lightly with warm water. Wipe the glass with the cloth and then use a dry cloth to remove any excess water. Alternatively, you can use paper towels.

When your skin is hydrated, it's more likely to look healthy and radiant, and less likely to become dry. To make sure you get all the water you need, try carrying around a refillable water bottle. That way, any time you feel a little thirsty, you'll have instant hydration on hand. You might be surprised how quickly your skin shows an improvement!  Other fluids, including juice, broth, tea, and soda, count towards your daily fluid intake. However, water is the healthiest option for your skin. If you're a woman, you should drink about 11.5 cups (2.7 l) of fluids each day. If you're a man, try to drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 l) every day. Following a healthy diet comes with a ton of great benefits for your body and mind, but you might not realize the effect it can have on your skin, as well. There are a number of foods that contain vitamins and nutrients that are essential to having beautiful skin. For instance:  Amino acids help your body produce collagen, the protein that primarily makes up your skin. Get amino acids in your diet by foods like chicken, fish, beef, eggs, dairy, and beans to get amino acids. Add vitamin C to your diet to help repair your skin naturally. You can find vitamin C in foods like citrus fruits, greens, broccoli, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Include skin-protecting minerals zinc and copper in your diet by eating meat and shellfish. If you prefer a plant-based diet, eat plenty of nuts, whole grains, and beans. To help fight acne, get plenty of omega-3 fatty acids from fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, as well as flaxseeds and walnuts. You can also take a supplement containing flax oil, flaxseeds, or fish oil. Any time you're going to be outside, wear sunscreen that's at least SPF 30. For even more protection, cover as much exposed skin as possible with loose-fitting clothing, a hat, and sunglasses. Also, try to avoid going outside between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm, when the sun's rays are the strongest.  If you're wearing normal clothing, use about 2  tsp (9.9 ml) of sunscreen to...

Choose the type of cabbage that you'd like to eat. Buy a head of cabbage that is firm and compact. Try not to buy shredded or pre-cut cabbage.

Proper cleaning usually involves shaking and some scrubbing, which can damage delicate glass parts if you're not careful. Separate each of the parts -- the bong, the slide, and the stem, and set them aside to be cleaned separately. You may want to wear latex gloves, as the smell of resin can be hard to remove from your hands. This will loosen up any of the bigger chunks of resin that may be clogging up your bong. The hotter the water the better, so use tongs to grip the piece if you can't securely hold the piece.  Do not use hot water on a cold piece, as this can cause it to shatter. If your piece is cold, for whatever reason, start with lukewarm water and slowly raise the temperature. For smaller, routine cleanings, you can just rinse out the bong quickly and move on to further cleaning. If there are any large chunks of tar or resin that you can easily reach, simply knock them off with gentle scrubbing. If a chunk resists, that's fine. You just want to get rid of the big, easily removed chunks now. For smaller pieces with tough, thick stains, like your slide or bowl, it can help to freeze the piece for 30 minutes. This loosens up chunks of resin and makes them easier to knock off. Be sure to dry the bowl before freezing. Make sure that they can seal effectively. You'll use the bag to contain your cleaning fluid while you soak the smaller pieces. Though you can do them at the same time, it is safest to put them each in separate bags. You can also use cups and bowls, as long as you can fill them with enough liquid to cover the pieces. However, cleaning may leave an unsavory smell to the cookware, making plastic bags the most convenient option more often than not.

Green cabbage is the most popular type of cabbage, but you can also boil red cabbage, savoy cabbage, Napa cabbage or the Chinese cabbage, bok choy.   Green cabbage: The classic green cabbage has wide fan-like leaves that have a waxy rubber feel when raw. It has a sweet taste when cooked but can taste quite peppery when eaten raw. White cabbage is a type of green cabbage which is a bit mushier when cooked, so extra care needs to be taken of this variety during cooking, to keep it firm and flavorful.  Red cabbage: It's known for its dark reddish-purple leaves and have a deeper flavour than green cabbage. It's often used for pickling and adding colour to dishes.  Savoy cabbage: This cabbage has a softer and crinkly feel to it with deep greens and white veins. It's high in vitamin K, vitamin C, and fiber and has a mild earthy taste to it.  Napa cabbage: This cabbage comes in an oblong shape and looks closely like romaine lettuce with its yellow greenish leaves and prominent white stems. It tastes much sweeter when raw than green cabbages.   Bok choy: A traditional Chinese cabbage, bok choy is light and peppery or bitter to taste. When cooked, the white stems remain crisp while its leaves become soft. It is also quite watery compared to most cabbages. You want leaves that are fresh and crisp, not wilted, brown or marked. The weight of the cabbage should also feel heavy for its size.  Wilted or damaged outer leaves usually indicate the cabbage is old or has been handled rather roughly. The best time to harvest the freshest cabbage is during the summer. Cabbage tastes sweeter and better after frost as cabbage is usually grown in wet and cool conditions. While this may seem convenient, cabbage begins to lose its vitamin C and other nutrients as soon as it is cut. Shredded or pre-cut cabbage may also be stored for long periods of time, depleting its taste.

Keep a pen in your hand. Read an entire paragraph before marking it up. Read out loud. Check for key phrases and information.

To ensure you have plenty of room to paint, you want to clear as much space away from the walls as possible. In addition, leaving furniture near the walls leaves it susceptible to being stained by paint.  If you can't move the furniture out of the room, move it to the center of the room and cover it with a drop cloth instead. Canvas drop cloths work best, but they are a little more expensive. If you don’t have one, lay down a tarp or another waterproof material. That way, if paint drips, it won’t soak through and stain your floor. It’s also a good idea to remove any light switch plates, curtain rods, or other decorative items that are attached to the walls. As you're wiping the walls down, focus especially on the crevices in the panels, since dirt tends to build up here. Dust, dirt, and other debris will create an uneven surface that will show beneath your paint. Let the wall dry completely before you move to the next step.  A damp microfiber cloth is a good option, since it will trap a lot of dust, but you can use any cleaning cloth you have on hand. Professionals often use a solution made from trisodium phosphate (TSP) and water to wash walls before painting, but this is an extremely toxic chemical. If you choose to use it, wear long sleeves, pants, rubber gloves, protective glasses, and a respiratory mask, and open the windows in the room the ventilate it, then let the walls dry for about a day. If there are any nail holes, chips, or other imperfections, use a putty knife to fill them with a generous amount of joint compound or spackle. After you apply it, scrape away excess compound with the putty knife, but don’t worry about getting it all off the wall, since you’ll address that later.  The compound shrinks when it dries, so it's better to apply it in a thick layer and sand it down later, rather than not to apply enough. If you like, you can use a trowel instead of a putty knife, depending on what you have on hand. If there aren’t any chips or holes in the walls, you can skip this. If you want a smooth...

Cover any holes or gashes in the wall with joint compound. Apply joint compound if you don't want to see the grooves in the paneling. Allow the joint compound to dry, then sand away any excess. Lightly sand the entire wall using 220-grit paper. Wipe down the walls again with a damp cloth after you sand them. Use painter's tape to cover anything you don't want painted.

If you can’t remember what you’ve read right after you finish it, you may get discouraged. Taking notes ensures that you can quickly remember what you’ve read, even after you’ve forgotten it.  Take brief summary notes at the end of each chapter to ensure that you can look back and recall what you’ve read. If taking notes interrupts your reading flow, mark key paragraphs with a check mark or star. Later, you can go back to these starred paragraphs and take notes on them for yourself. Many people highlight the first sentence of a paragraph. Sometimes the first sentence is the right one to emphasize, but in other cases, only looking at the first sentence of a paragraph can leave out key information.  Don’t mark up any specific sentences or words right away.  Be patient and wait until the final sentence before deciding. If the paragraph seems important right away, mark it with a star. After a difficult or inspiring paragraph, pause for a moment.  Explain to yourself what you have read, out loud or in your head.  Then summarize that in the margin or on a separate piece of paper. Reading out loud is a great trick for people who are auditory learners.  It also works any time that you may be having difficulty with the language of the book.  You may feel a little bit silly if you are alone, but don’t let it stop you.  You’ll soon get into the rhythm and forget your circumstances. If you are in public, try covering your ears and mouthing the words.  This usually goes unnoticed, and is not really odd behavior for someone reading in a public place. It’s ok not to read the entire book, especially if it is non-fiction. By taking a moment before reading to locate key information, you can save yourself time.  Use the table of contents to locate what you’re looking for. If you’ve skimmed over a few paragraphs, check for summary words (in conclusion, in summary, furthermore) and pay particular attention to that paragraph. Before you start reading, perform a quick check of a chapter.  Take note of its title and any subheadings....

The location is important, and it will help determine some of the other details you choose so pick it first! You could go to the park, the beach, the mountains, or even just your backyard. Some museums have lawns for picnicking, or you could head to any area with natural attractions, such as lakes or rivers. When choosing a place, do a little research. If you need a picnic table, make sure the the area has some. You may want to check for things like bathrooms and running water, too. You could have a brunch picnic in the park and take breakfast foods or a lunch picnic with a friend from work. Alternatively, opt for a dinner picnic and consider bringing foods to grill. It's important to decide what time of day you want to have your picnic, as that will affect the food you choose. Often, a picnic is about more than just the food. See what activities the area offers, so you know what you need to bring. For instance, if the park doesn't have much of a playground, bring some fun sporting equipment with you, such as Frisbees or a soccer ball.  You could also bring along a board game that's fun to play outside, such as Twister. If you're at a nature reserve, consider going on a hike to a picnic spot! Maybe you want to plan a picnic just for your family or maybe you want to throw a big picnic/party for your friends' birthday. Take some time to consider who you want to invite, then make a list of the people you'd like to come.  Remember, if you invite a lot of people, you'll need to plan on bringing food for that many people, unless you do a potluck. With a potluck, you'd provide a main dish and have everyone else bring sides. Also think about the venue. Make sure it has enough tables for your group if you'll have a lot of people. You may need to reserve the space for a large group. You'll need food, utensils, plates, a cooler, activities, and bags for cleanup. You'll also likely want a tablecloth or blanket to spread out wherever you go. Making a checklist helps you keep track of what you need to bring so you don't...

Ask him or her to explain what treatment options are available to you. Decide on one for a treatment.  You can ask for an exfoliant, such as Retin-A Micro. Exfoliants clear away dead skin cells that clog pores. Use this treatment especially if your skin looks ashy, as you could have a build of dry skin.  You can also have an acid peel to exfoliate skin, such as glycolic or salicylic acid. You'll need more than one of these treatments for noticeable results. As with the acid peel, use this treatment if you have a buildup of dry skin. Another option is using lights or lasers, whether IPL (Intense Pulse Light therapy) or LED. This treatment increases collagen and can make pores seem less noticeable. You can use this treatment in conjunction with an acid peel. Keep in mind that these treatments can be expensive, as much as $100-$500.

A ritual release is a mental exercise that can help you forget a memory. To begin the exercise, transform a scene from the spoiler into a detailed mental snapshot. It could be an old-timey black-and-white photograph, or a more recent color printout. Either way, make sure the mental photograph is a three-dimensional object in your mind. Start by picturing the edges of the photo curling up and turning brown. Watch as the fire burns through the mental image until the entire photograph has finally turned to ash and crumbled away. A ritual release can also be conducted using another mental image in place of the imaginary photograph. For example, you could imagine the spoiler as a car sinking into a lake or as an ice cube slowly melting away in the sun. The memory of the spoiler may not disappear immediately. If so, repeat the mental exercise daily until the details begin to fade away.  It may take about a month for the process to take hold.  This mental exercise may not work for everyone since old memories are never completely erased.

TL;DR in English: Picture a part of the spoiler that you want to forget. Imagine that you have set the mental photograph on fire. Repeat the ritual regularly.

To apply for a TN visa, you must have an offer letter which includes a start date and end date such that the period of employment or contract is for 3 years or less. If you will handle the TN visa application yourself without the US company's assistance, request the US company to include in the offer letter that you will be responsible for the TN visa application. Otherwise, the US company will undertake the TN visa handling. In fact, the employer is called the “Petitioner” and you, the employee, are called the “Beneficiary.” Although a TN visa holder status has a maximum period of 3 years, it may be renewed indefinitely. Caution: TN status is temporary and US Customs will ask you questions to determine your intent to work and live in the US is temporary and not permanent. The job must be one of the professions in Appendix 1603.D.1 of the NAFTA.  A list of acceptable occupations can be found at http://www.nafsa.org/_/file/_/amresource/8cfr2146.htm. You must prove that you qualify for the Minimum Education Requirements or Alternative Credentials of the TN occupation for which you are applying.  For most TN occupations, this means you must have a Baccalaureate or Licenciatura degree in a field related to the occupation, although some only require 5 years of relevant work experience.
