Many people like to compare live-action roleplaying to playing "pretend." That is, you hang out with other people and pretend that you are someone else, such as a vampire or a pirate. Some live-action roleplays are action-based, where you fight opponents with boffers (weapons made from foam). Others are story-based, where you do not touch the other characters. Instead, you decide whether you win or lose a battle by rolling dice, playing rock-paper-scissors, or comparing character stats.   Story-based live-action roleplays are also called "theater-style" or "freeform." Some live-action meet regularly in a public area, while others meet seldom (ie: once a month or once a year) in a staged area, such as a campground or hotel. When you first enter the world of LARPing, you may hear certain terms that are completely new to you. Most of them are pretty self-explanatory, but some might be confusing. Different groups might have different terms for certain things, but the following are the most common:  LARP: stands for "live-action roleplay." Boffer: a foam padded weapon, commonly used in action-based LARPs. Game master: the person in charge of leading the LARP's story. He or she will be in charge of bringing in new characters, dilemmas, etc. They may also be called a "Storyteller," and are common in story-based LARPs. NPC: stands for "non-player character." They are unavailable to the other players, and are usually played by the game master. PC: stands for "player character." This is the character that you, the LARPer, plays. Crew: also called "stagehands." They help the game master setup the event. Some may also play NPCs. They will vary depending on which group you join. For example, action-based LARPs often have rules against where you can or can't hit a person with a boffer (ie: the head). Story-based LARPs, on the other hand, often have no-touching rules. Breaking these rules may result in disciplinary action, such as a temporary ban or point deduction. Many LARPs require you to be in character. You have to...

TL;DR in English: Choose live-action roleplaying if you like to act or play fight. Find a type of live-action roleplay that interests you. Understand the terminology. Review the gaming rules. Create your character, and make sure that they fit the LARP's world. Get a costume, if needed. Stay in-character whenever possible. Find a place to roleplay or a group to play with. Be well-prepared for longer roleplay sessions. Don't be afraid to interact with other people, but don't take the spotlight either.

Brush your hair back from your head with a paddle brush or a comb. It should be smooth and free of any tangles or snags. For a more polished look and to prevent flyaways, try finger-combing a smoothing serum through your hair before you get started. Hair can be dry or wet, though it can be easier to braid wet hair if yours is curly or wavy.  If your hair is fine or layered, use a little styling cream or gel to keep hair from slipping out of the pleat. If you want a side braid, brush and separate your hair to the side on which you want the braid to fall.

Identify the causes of blister burns. Determine if you have a third degree burn. Determine if you have a fourth degree burn. Seek medical attention for any fourth degree burn.

Hook your thumb through the loop. Wrap your wrist. Encase your hand.

Blister burns can occur anywhere on the body. The most common causes of blister burns, also known as second degree burns, are:  Touching a hot object Fires Scalding from steam or hot liquids such as cooking oils Electrical burns Chemical burns Blisters occur whenever you burn your skin. The type of burn you have will depend on the severity of the burn. First degree burns affect the topmost layer of skin and appear reddish and swollen.  First degree burns are painful but are considered minor. They do not usually produce blisters, but they may peel. First degree burns are dry, and usually take three to five days to heal. Second degree burns are the next level of severity. They are considered minor as long as they are less than three inches wide in diameter. Second degree burns affect surface layer and the next few under layers of the skin. Blisters are often common with second degree burns.  Second degree burns are painful and often form blisters and are red or pink. They may look swollen or have a pocket of clear, wet liquid. If more severe, a second degree burn can be dry with a reduced level of feeling in the area. If you apply pressure, the skin will not turn white or turn white very slowly.  Second degree burns usually heal within two to three weeks. Blistering burns larger than three inches should be seen at an ER or by your physician as soon as possible. If a second degree burn is on the hands, feet, face, groin, a major joint, or the buttocks, see your physician or go to the ER right away. Older individuals and children should be seen at the ER for any second degree burn because complications are more common in these groups. The most severe burns are third degree burns. Third degree burns are considered a major burn because the skin layers are destroyed and should be seen immediately at an ER. These burns affect the deepest part of the skin and cause whitened or blackened skin.  The burnt areas may be black or white. They also will be dry and leathery.  These burns are often painless at first because...

TL;DR in English: Identify the causes of blister burns. Determine if you have a first degree burn. Decide if you have a second degree burn. Seek medical attention for any third degree burns. Count the number of blisters.

First, hold your hand up in an open position, palm-down. Keep your hand straight with your forearm, with your fingers straight and slightly spread out. Spread your fingers and thumb apart. Then slip the wrap’s looped end over your thumb so that the wrap itself falls across the back of your hand. Be sure to begin wrapping your hand across the back of your hand rather than your palm. Beginning with the back of your hand will prevent the wrap from loosening later on. Let the wrap fall from the outside (pinky-end) of your hand. Pull the loose end under your wrist, below the ball of your thumb. Then wind it over the top of your wrist, drawing it tight enough to provide support for your wrist, but not so tight that it cuts off circulation. Repeat so that you complete a total of two to three passes under and over your wrists. For extra support, wrap your wrist three times. However, if your wrap is too short, or if you prefer keeping your wrists a little loose for specific punching styles (like uppercuts and angled hooks), only wrap it twice. Once you have finished your wrist, let the loose end hang once again from the outside of your wrist. Pull the loose end under your palm to the area between your thumb and index finger. Draw it over the top of your hand, again making sure that you pull it tight enough for support, but not tight enough to restrict blood-flow. Repeat for a total of three passes under and over your hand. At this point, focus more on wrapping your hand securely rather than your knuckles.

Health care professionals and specialists in speech problems can work with you or your child to overcome the effects of stuttering.  Stuttering is best treated sooner, rather than later, as it may become more difficult to treat later in life.  Contact your doctor if your notice any of the following aspects to your stuttering:  Stuttering that develops during adulthood. Any muscle tightening or visible difficulty speaking. If your stuttering is affecting your social life, work life, or quality of life. Any stuttering that causes anxiety, fear, or loss of self-esteem needs to be addressed. Stuttering that lasts for longer than six months. If stuttering occurs along side other speech problems. If you notice stuttering worsening either in yourself or in your child. Speaking quickly or in a hurried fashion can have an effect on the amount of stuttering that occurs in conversation.  By slowing down and speaking deliberately, a person can learn exactly when and what triggers their stuttering.  Speak slowly and simply.  Try saying one syllable words, one at a time.  Strive to have each word come out clearly before moving on to the next word. Monitor your speech as you talk, looking for which words or mental states might cause stuttering to occur or worsen. Don't be afraid to leave pauses or silence in your speech.  Go at your own pace as you practice. Practice words that you notice as problematic. Gradually increase the length of words and sentences.  Overtime you will work towards implementing problematic words in your speech. There are two main types of devices today that can help with stuttering problems.  Some of these are small enough to be worn throughout the day by the person who stutters.  One device plays back a persons voice to them in an ear phone, with a delay.  This delay causes the person to slow their speech down, which can reduce stuttering. Another method makes it sound like your own speech is in unison with the speech of another person.  Hearing your own speech in this way can also reduce any...

Many mothers with mastitis start to feel like they have the flu, with symptoms like a high fever, body aches, chills, and exhaustion. This is the is the most common presentation for mastitis. Take your temperature if you are feeling ill and think you may have mastitis. A temperature above 101 °Fahrenheit (38.3 °C) can be an indication that you have mastitis. These symptoms often occur when a milk duct is clogged prior to the development of mastitis. Detecting these symptoms early can help you take steps to treat the problem before full blown mastitis develops.  The skin of your breasts may also appear shiny and have red streaks or red wedge shaped marks. Your breasts may also feel tender and warm to the touch and it may feel painful when you try to breastfeed. Mastitis usually occurs in the first few weeks of breastfeeding, though it can occur any time during breast feeding. Keep in mind mastitis tends to affect only one breast. If your breasts are not improving, you continue to have a high temperature or you are feeling more ill as time passes, chances are you are dealing with a mastitis infection and should seek immediate medical care.  If the doctor determines that the mastitis is the result of an infection, she may prescribe a round of antibiotics. Mastitis can turn into an abscess which is very difficult to treat and may involve disfiguring surgery, so it is important to see the doctor as soon as you feel like mastitis is developing. You will need to continue breastfeeding, even if you have an infection. You will not pass the infection to the baby. Not breastfeeding when you have mastitis can make the infection worse. Talk with your doctor about ways to minimize the pain.

Gather the ends of the fabric and pin them together. Sew the arms together on each side, over the edges of the arm material. Pin the sides of the robe together in the same fashion. Fold the fleece approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) on each side of the center slit. Sew a 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) hem into the edge of each center slit. Sew together a robe waist band from your scrap pieces of fleece. Turn your robe inside out and try it on. Cut 2 piece of scrap fleece that are 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Put the finishing touches on your robe as desired. Finished.

In this noble quest to positively impact the world, it's easy to always look far down the road and overlook the opportunities you have to help others right now. Think about how you can improve someone's life today.  You may be very busy and think you don't have much time to spare, but you can still find little ways to help others. For example, you can set your alarm just a few minutes earlier than normal and scrape the ice off your neighbor's car before you head off to work. If you're in school, you can offer to organize a study group before a big exam or offer to share notes with your classmate who has been out with the flu for two weeks. Make a resolution to perform good deeds every day. The best way to do this is to look for little ways to spread joy and/or help others. For example:  Hold doors open for the people, making sure to do it with a welcoming smile. Let someone who looks to be in a hurry move in front of you while waiting at the grocery store. Buy a pack of diapers for the new parents across the street (even if you don't know them). Spend a few minutes cutting coupons from the newspaper so that you can pick up some extra groceries, and then donate them to your local food pantry. Sincerely ask those who serve you (your waiters and waitresses, check-out clerks, gas station attendants, etc.) how they are doing. Even though these are fairly small gestures, they can still have a big impact on others. You'll continue to find ways to make positive changes in others' lives on a daily basis, no matter how small. However, don't forget to think bigger and longer-term as well.  For example, do you want to be a philanthropist or work for a non-profit someday? Would you like to work for Doctors Without Borders? Do you want to make sure that all children have (beyond) adequate learning materials at school? Depending upon your longer-term goals, you may need to spend some of your time now developing and sharpening your skills and acquiring the requisite knowledge. This might mean that you'll need to enroll in...

Since fleece doesn't fray, you can gather it right at the edge for a 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) seam allowance. Remember that this will be on the inside of your robe. Sew down each side on your sewing machine. Pin it into place. If you want to have a robe/blanket, sometimes referred to as a "snuggie," you can leave the back open so that you can wear the robe backwards when you are sitting in a chair or lying on a couch. Cut a piece that is approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide. If 1 piece of side fabric is not long enough, sew 2 pieces together. Test the fleece band around your waist to see if you can wrap it around you and tie it comfortably. Mark a place on the back of each side of your waist with a pin. When you take the robe off you can measure to make sure the pins are at the same height on your robe. Hand sew these loops onto the places where you have attached the pins. This will help to hold your waist band in place when it is not tied. You may want to fold in the edges of the arm holes, neck hole and bottom and sew a hem. You can also do a blanket stitch around all the open sides of the robe in a contrasting thread.

Wear the Parisian knot for a professional look on cold days. Fold the scarf in half. Drape the folded scarf around your neck. Pull the loose ends through the loop. Readjust the knot as desired.

Take sharp scissors and cut the main image you want to use from each T-shirt. The square should be at least 12 inches (30 cm) or larger. For example, if you want to include a list of team names from the back of a shirt, cut a large square from the back. The squares don't need to be completely straight or smooth because you'll be cutting them again later. To stabilize the T-shirt squares, lay your squares face-down on an ironing board. Lay a piece of fusible interfacing over the square and iron it with low heat. This should fuse the interfacing to the back of the T-shirt square. Repeat this for each T-shirt square.  The fusible interfacing will make your T-shirts easier to work with since they'll prevent the knit fabric from stretching or sagging a lot. Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for specific directions about fusing the interfacing. You'll need to place the bumpy, fusible adhesive side so it faces the fabric.

TL;DR in English: Cut out the center of each shirt into a rough square. Iron fusible interfacing to the back of each T-shirt square.

Note that you can wear the loose ends of the scarf over your jacket or tucked inside your jacket. The former is more fashion-conscious, while the latter is warmer. This style will keep your neck very warm while also giving you a classy look. Drape the scarf over your forearm and fold it in half lengthwise. Use a scarf that is long and rectangular, as a shorter scarf will not have enough fabric for a Parisian knot. Use your arm to fold the scarf in half in order to create a precisely halved scarf. This type of knot has also been called the European Knot, European Loop, Loop Pull, and Slipknot. Hang the folded scarf off the back of your neck, bringing the loose ends and looped end across your chest. Allow the looped end to sit on your shoulder about chest high. This draping effect should mimic the classic drape style, except for the fact that the scarf is folded in half. Pull the loose end to make a tighter knot, but be careful not to pull too hard. Position the knot in front of your neck and wear the scarf under a coat. Only the loose ends should hang down in front of your chest. Tie the knot tightly around your neck for more warmth. Loosen the knot if you get too warm. Straighten out any twists in the loose ends of the scarf so that the ends lie flat against your chest so that it does not look bulky under your coat. A loose knot creates a more casual, laid back style than a tighter knot will.

Halter tops provide your large bust with the support it needs, but the deep neckline keeps you looking attractive and womanly. While these may provide your bust with the support it needs, they may make you look too matronly. All-over patterns prevent the eye from focusing on any one part of your body. As a result, your heavy bust and shoulders seem less noticeable. This balances out your larger chest with your slim hips. Racer-back straps provide more support that many other types, which may prevent your larger bust from bouncing around. Bathing suits that contain no underwiring may not be enough to keep your chest in check, and you may find an underwire top more comfortable and more attractive. These provide very little support, making you look even bustier as a result. Moreover, you are more likely to experience a wardrobe malfunction with nothing but skimpy string triangle cups to tame your bust.

TL;DR in English: Consider a swimsuit with a halter style top. Avoid swimsuits with high necklines. Gravitate toward patterns instead of solids. Look for swimsuits with draping in the middle. Try a top with a racer-back. Support your busty figure with underwire cups. Avoid triangle tops.

Tuberose bulbs are best planted in early spring after the last frost, but this requires a warm climate with a growing season at least 4 months long, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8, 9, or 10. If you have a shorter growing season, start the tuberose indoors in early spring and transfer once night temperatures outdoors are above 60ºF (15.5ºC).  If you live in zone 7 or below, you will need to bring tuberose indoors for the winter. Zones 8-10 correspond to a minimum winter temperature between 10ºF (-12.2ºC) and 35ºF (1.7ºC). Zone 7 has a minimum winter temperature of 0ºF (-17.8ºC). Tuberose needs well draining, highly nutritious soil. To improve your garden soil, mix in organic material such as peat moss, compost, or old, decomposing manure. Pile this mixture up 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) above the original soil surface to raise it above pooling water.  Tuberose prefers a soil pH between 6.5 to 7, but are fairly adaptable and should do fine in environments with pH as low as 5.5. You may use a large, well draining pot instead of a raised bed. Plant in a location that gets full sun for about 6-8 hours during the day. Tuberose is native to hot climates, and will only need to be moved to bright partial shade if it shows signs of withering or drying before the end of the growing season. If you have purchased a cluster of bulbs, plant the entire cluster. Place bulbs or clusters of bulbs about 6-8 inches (15-20cm) apart to allow for growth. Give the tuberose bulb a thorough watering to settle the soil around the plant. Move on to next section to learn how to care for the bulbs and growing plants. Growth should be visible within a few weeks.

Beginners will be more excited about learning if they can quickly play songs they know and love. Many popular songs have a relatively simple structure. For more complex songs that your student wants to play, look for simplified adaptations that sound similar to the original. Have your student make a list of their favorite songs, and look them up online. Pull songs that use chords your student already knows and have them practice with those songs. Although most attention is paid to the fretting hand, learning how to strum is a big part of learning how to play guitar. A beginner can play many popular songs using a basic down-up, down-up pattern. There are other basic strumming patterns that can open up additional songs for a beginner. Many popular songs only use 3 or 4 relatively common chords. Search online for songs that use the chords your beginning student has already learned. If you know the types of music your student likes, you can find songs they'll be more interested in learning how to play.  Many of these songs, such as "Free Falling," by Tom Petty, or "Lay Down Sally," by Eric Clapton, use only 3 chords within the CAGED system. Your student will better see progress and be motivated to go further if they can start playing popular songs they know relatively quickly.

TL;DR in English: Ask your student what songs they want to play. Use basic strumming patterns. Find popular 3- and 4-chord songs.

Use a hair clip or tie to pull all of your hair together except for one section. Find the first and closest section of artificial hair at the bottom of your head. You want to start at the bottom and work your way up so you know where you’ve already removed extensions. Oil helps break up any chemical bonds from glue or tape. Use either almond oil, coconut oil, baby oil, olive oil, or a hair salon product specifically for removing extensions. Dab or gently rub the oil into the extension bond and wait for the bond to break down.  The oil needs time to seep into the bonds to break them down. Wait at least 15 minutes or even more time for thick tape or glue bonds.  Make sure you set aside time to remove your extensions. You don’t want to be caught off guard with half a head of fake hair that you didn’t have time to finish removing. Rinse your hair thoroughly and then coat your entire head in conditioner. Work the conditioner into your roots and the tape or glue bonds. Wrap your head in a towel and wait 20 minutes. After unwrapping, use a wide toothed comb to gently comb out your extensions.  This can help remove stubborn bonds if using oil did not remove your extensions completely. Comb from the tips of your hair and work your way up to the roots so that you don’t tangle you natural and fake hair together, which makes combing out the fake hair more difficult and painful. For each section, it may take several repetitions of applying oil or wrapping your hair in a towel to remove all of the glue. Work through each section of hair entirely before letting down another section of your from your ponytail or hair clip. Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo and nourishing conditioner afterward.  Even after repeated treatments, you may still have some small bits of glue left in your hair. These will work their way out gradually over a few days to a few weeks.

It's a good idea to pack an extra, clean shirt for yourself, in case one of the babies spits up on your clothes or you spill milk or baby food on yourself. The chances of something like this happening are doubled with twins. Opt for a shirt made from a crease-proof material, as it might be sitting at the bottom of the diaper bag for a while! Being hungry tends to make people more irritable and impatient, which is not a good thing when you're dealing with twins. Therefore, it's a good idea to pack some snacks for yourself that are quick and easy to eat, such as cereal bars, small packs of nuts or raisins, or a yogurt (in a cool pack). You should also pack a bottle of water so you can stay hydrated. This is particularly important if you are breastfeeding twins. Choose the safest pocket of the bag that closes with a zipper and use it for storing important things like car keys, home keys, your cell phone, and money. This will prevent you from having to carry a handbag in addition to a diaper bag. Mothers who enjoy bringing their twin babies to the park or for long walks will benefit from packing items like lip balm and hairpins in the diaper bag, especially if it is very windy or cold outside.

If you specialize in criminal law, family law, tax law or other areas, consider choosing a name that reflects your area of legal expertise. For example, The Davis Family Law Group signals that your firm specializes in family law. A long name might be used professionally, and then shortened when used in marketing and advertising materials. For example, a firm legally called Legacy Tax & Trust could simply be called Legacy by its clients and partners. If the branding associated with your firm name is extremely distinctive, you may consider trademarking the firm name and the brand.  To trademark your business name, simply visit the United States Patent and Trademark Office website. There is a form available online that will register your trademark. Download this form and fill it out. The form will require you to provide information about your business. Additionally, the fee to trademark a business name is between $275 and $325.

Blow your nose correctly. Try using a sinus or saline irrigation container to clear your nasal passages. Use steam treatments. Take a hot shower. Drink hot fluids.

Exercise can help clear your mind, and it often lessens the intensity of emotion that you're feeling. Any kind of exercise you enjoy is fine, from swimming to walking. When you're feeling stressed or anxious about a situation, it's usually because nothing is resolved, and you can't decide what kind of action to take. Taking an action, even if it's not the perfect one, often relieves some stress. For instance, if you're stressing over a family situation, sit your family down to discuss it. Try to come up with a solution together. Mindfulness is the act of being fully present in what you're doing. You savor each bite of your food, for instance, and you give yourself over to the moment when your favorite song comes on the radio. You take a moment to breathe in the cool morning air or appreciate the sunrise. Being mindful helps with stress because it pulls you out of your head into your body. It forces you to feel instead of think. Whether you're an avid gardener, love to read, or enjoy cooking, block out time for those activities. When you do things you love, you enter a flow state where you lose track of time and leave your stress behind. Make sure you're making time at least 2 to 3 days per week to do the things you love, even if it's just for a short period. Spending time relaxing each week is vital to lowering your stress levels. Try relaxing activities like taking a bath, getting a massage, listening to music, practicing yoga, or meditating to keep your stress down.  Engage in relaxation activities at least 2-3 times a week. In fact, many people find a daily meditation practice does wonders for their stress levels. If you find yourself in a stressful situation, try a deep breathing technique. Close your eyes, and focus on your breathing. Breathe in deeply through your nose, counting to 4 in your head. Hold for 4 counts, and then breathe out for 4 counts. Keep using this technique until you feel yourself relax. Socializing is important for lowering stress levels, as it gives you a chance to laugh and let...

It's natural to want to blow your nose when you're feeling stuffed up, but just be careful not to overdo it. While blowing your nose can indeed help to clear the nasal passages of excess mucus, blowing too hard or too frequently can actually have adverse effects. Any kind of bottle or container with a thin spout can be used with a saline solution to thin and flush mucus from the nasal passages.  Make your own saline solution by mixing half a teaspoon of kosher salt into a cup of water. Fill the container with the saline solution, tilt your head to one side (over a sink), and insert the spout into one nostril and pour. The solution should flow in one nostril before coming out the other. When the water stops dripping, blow your nose gently, then repeat the process on the opposite side Steam can be really useful when it comes to clearing your head. The heat of the steam loosens mucus while the moisture from the water helps to relieve dry nasal passages. Use steam in one of the following ways: Give yourself a steam facial by boiling a pot of water. Pour that water into a separate bowl and then place your face over the steaming water. Hold a towel over your head to keep the steam in. Add a couple of drops of a sinus-clearing essential oil (such as tea tree or peppermint) to maximize the sinus-clearing benefits. Yes, even if you're feeling under the weather, you shouldn't skip your daily shower as it can actually help to clear a cold faster. Heat the water to a high, yet comfortable temperature  and let the bathroom steam up as much as possible. If the heat leaves you feeling a little weak or dizzy, consider bringing a plastic chair or stool into the shower with you. A hot, steamy bath can work wonders for you when you have a cold - not just in terms of decongestion, but also in terms of relaxation and heat. Again, try to make the water as hot as possible. If you decide to wash your hair (either in the bath or shower) remember to dry your hair thoroughly afterwards, as damp hair can cause you to lose body heat,...

Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over smelly flip flops or sandals. Deodorize sandals by putting them into a plastic bag with ½ cup (90 grams) of baking soda. Clean dirty and smelly flip flops with a paste made from baking soda and water. Give rubber flip flops a soak in baking soda and water.

Fried cauliflower tastes best when it's freshly cooked, so serve it while it's still hot. You can taste it first and season it with more salt, if you want to. Try garnishing with fresh parsley for a nicer presentation! Refrigerate any leftovers for 3-5 days in an airtight container, or tightly wrapped in aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

TL;DR in English: Serve the cauliflower warm.

If you don't want to make a mess on your floor, place your shoes down on a tray or sheet of newspaper first. Cover the insoles with a thick layer of baking soda, and wait 24 hours. Once the time is up, shake the baking soda off of the shoes. If there is any residue, you can either vacuum it up, or wipe it off with a damp cloth. Place the sandals into the bag first, then add the baking soda. Tie the bag shut tightly, and shake it. Leave the shoes in the bag for 24 to 48 hours, then take the sandals out. Shake off any excess baking soda.  This method may be safe to use on leather sandals, but it is best used sparingly. If you use it too often, your sandals may become dry and brittle. You can also use a large, plastic, zippered bag instead—as long as your sandals can fit comfortably inside. This will not only scrub any dirt away, but also help deodorize them as well. In a small dish, combine some baking soda with enough water to make a paste. Scrub the paste into the flip flops using an old toothbrush. Wait 5 minutes, then rinse them clean with fresh water. Let them air dry before wearing them again.  You can also use an old manicure brush instead. If the flip flops still smell, repeat the process, but with salted water instead. Salt has natural deodorizing properties. You can also use Epsom salt instead, which is good for neutralizing bad odors. Fill a small, plastic tub with one part baking soda and 10 parts water. Stir it to combine, then add the flip flops. Leave the flip flops in the water for at least 12 hours; 24 to 48 hours would be better. Once the time is up, take the flip flops out, and let them air dry.  This method may be used on sandals, as long as they can be soaked or washed. If the flip flops won't stay down, weigh them down using heavy jars or rocks. If you are using a shallow tray, place the flip flops face-down; most of the smell is in the insoles.

Yelling, shouting, and raising your voice at your girlfriend will only lead to a dramatic fight. It will likely make the situation worse and make your girlfriend more angry or upset.  When you feel the urge to yell or shout, try taking a deep breath so you can calm down. Remember that lashing out at your girlfriend will not help to resolve the argument or make the situation better. Avoid name calling and criticizing, too. Use an even tone of voice and try to approach the conflict or argument in a rational way. Encourage your girlfriend to share her point of view and express why she is upset. Be open to her honesty and her perspective. For example, you may say to her, “I’m struggling to understand your perspective. Please explain it to me” or “I’m not sure what I did wrong. Can you explain it to me?” It is important that you not be afraid to express how you are feeling to your girlfriend, especially during an argument. Try not to shut down or close off from her. Instead, be honest about your emotions.  For example, you may say, “To be honest, I’ve been feeling pretty down this past week and that’s why I haven’t been as attentive to your needs.” Or you may say, “Honestly, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed at school so that might be why I haven’t been as emotionally present for you.” Men sometimes have difficulty naming their emotions. Let her know if you are feeling something that you can't quite name or express and try to explain what you're feeling as best as possible. If you have done something to hurt your girlfriend or make her upset, swallow your pride and apologize for your actions. Admitting when you are wrong does not mean you are being weak or less of a man. In fact, being willing to admit your mistakes shows that you are able to be self-reflective and self-aware. It also lets your girlfriend know you are willing to take accountability for your actions. For example, you may say to your girlfriend, “After our discussion, I realize I was wrong to have not called you. I’m sorry I did that to you.” Or you may...

If you meet the qualifications described above, you may apply to join the OES. The easiest way to do this may be to talk to a friend or relative who is already a member. This person will most likely be familiar with your local chapter's entry requirements and can give you the advice necessary to make an informed decision about applying for membership. Additionally, this person can serve as an important character reference. Because members of Masonic organizations (including OES) are required to have good reputations, the word of someone who's already a member can go quite far towards improving your chances of entry. You don't necessarily have to know an OES member to apply. To start the process yourself, simply contact a chapter near you. The precise entry instructions and requirements for each chapter may vary, so contacting the nearest chapter directly is a good way to ensure that you have exactly the information you need to join.  If you're unsure which OES chapter is nearest to you, consult the official listing of Grand Chapters on the Order of the Eastern Star website. This contains links to all of the large regional OES chapters around the world, which includes several chapters outside of the US and Canada. Each of the regional chapter pages in the official OES Grand Chapter listing should contain information on subordinate local chapters near you. If you can't find this, try getting started by contacting your regional Grand Chapter directly. Like the Freemasons themselves, the Order of the Eastern Star requires applicants to complete and submit an official petition to be considered for membership. Usually, the petition is a short official form (obtained directly from the chapter) that demonstrates your eligibility and desire to become a member. Each chapter's precise petition procedure may vary, but, in general, an applicant should expect to provide at least all of the following:  Basic personal information (name, contact info, etc.) An acknowledgement of belief in a supreme being An acknowledgement...

Chop most of your food with a good chef's knife. Use a grater to finely shred firm vegetables. Puree food by cooking it until it's soft, then mashing it. Crush foods by using a rolling pin and plastic bag. Knead bread dough

The first step in cutting your hair at home is to invest in the right tools. You will need a sharp pair of hair cutting scissors (not just any old scissors you have lying around at home) and a fine-toothed comb.  Hair cutting scissors are easily available at beauty supply stores - you can find them pretty cheaply, somewhere in the $25 to $50 range. If you don't want to buy a hair cutting scissors, a fabric scissors will do - just make sure it's really sharp. Using dull scissors is a bad idea as you will find it harder to cut your hair and may end up giving yourself split ends - which defeats the purpose of giving yourself a haircut in the first place! Wet hair is much easier to cut than dry hair, so make sure to shampoo and condition your hair before you start snipping.  Fully comb out your hair once you get out of the shower - your hair needs be as sleek and tangle free as possible.Use a leave-in conditioner if your hair tends to be frizzy or fly-away. If your hair is quite long or thick, there's a good chance that sections of your hair might start to dry before you get around to cutting them. To tackle this, fill a spray bottle with water and a little conditioner. Then you can dampen your hair whenever you need to! Depending on how thick your hair is, expect to work in several sections as you cut, starting with the bottom-most layer and working up.  Use elastic hair ties or crocodile clips to divide hair into sections. Just make sure the sectioned hair isn't left to hang loose - otherwise it could get in the way of your scissors. Once you've finished with the bottom layer of hair, you can start releasing the other sections as you go. If you just want to give your hair a small trim to get rid of your damaged ends, you will first need to inspect your hair to find out how much hair will need to be cut.  Take a look at the ends of your hair. If they seem scraggly or unruly, or you can see the split hairs, they're probably damaged and need to be cut. Expect to trim about 0.25 inch (6 mm) above where the damage...

TL;DR in English: Buy a sharp pair of scissors. Wash your hair, but don't dry it. Clip up the top portions of your hair. Find split ends. Measure where you wish to cut. Trim the ends. Make sure your ends match up. Trim your layers (optional). Double-check your hair when it's dry.

Most of the time, when a recipe calls for a food processor, it's because the food needs to be chopped or minced finely. While it may take a little longer, you can do the same work with a sharp chef's knife. Just place the food on a cutting board and carefully cut it into small pieces. The size of the pieces will depend on what you're chopping and what the recipe calls for.   Garlic, onions, and celery can all be finely minced by hand, for instance. Of course, always remember to be careful when you're cutting anything with a knife. Hold the knife firmly in your dominant hand. With your other hand, curl your fingers in so they look like a bear claw, then use that claw to hold the food you're cutting. This way, even if the knife slips, it will just brush against the back of your knuckles. Instead of using a food processor to shred hard veggies like carrots or potatoes, you can instead run the food across a box grater or a microplaner. Press down slightly as you slide the food back and forth over the holes in the grater. If you're using a microplaner, always use the handle on the tool so you don't accidentally cut yourself.  Graters are perfect when you're making a slaw, salad, or hash. This is also a good option if you need grated ginger for a sauce, stir-fry, or drink. Be sure to keep your fingers free of the grater, or you could get a nasty scrape! One of the most popular uses for a food processor is to puree food, but you can do it by hand if you need to. To start, simmer, boil, or stew the food until it's soft and almost falling apart. Then, mash the food with a fork or a potato masher until it takes on a smooth, even consistency.  For an even finer texture, pour the puree through a sieve and push it through with the back of a spoon. This is perfect for creating fruit toppings for ice cream or your own homemade tomato sauce! If you need to quickly break down food into small pieces, place the ingredient in a resealable plastic bag and place it on a sturdy cutting board. Then, roll back and forth over the bag...

After your asparagus is dry, you can simply grab a fork and dig in! Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top if you’d like some extra flavor. For example, you can serve your plain asparagus with a veggie tray for a yummy appetizer. Add fresh carrots, celery, broccoli, and cauliflower for a full spread. Don’t forget the veggie dip! To do this, place your asparagus on a serving platter or onto individual serving plates. Whisk up 3 tablespoons (44.4 millilitres) of balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons (29.6 grams) minced of red onion, 2 tablespoons (29.6 millilitres) of olive oil, 1 clove of minced garlic, and a sprinkling of black pepper. Then, pour the mixture over top of your asparagus.  This makes a delicious side dish or appetizer. This mixture is great for 4 servings of asparagus. To serve your asparagus warm, throw the mixture into a medium-sized skillet and heat it up for 2-3 minutes. Put your asparagus into a bowl, and mix in 2 tablespoons (29.6 millilitres) of olive oil,  2 tablespoons (29.6 grams) of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon (4.9 grams) of lemon zest. Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste, if you’d like. Mix the ingredients all together thoroughly, then serve it in a platter or individual plates. If you’d like to serve your asparagus warm, you can skip the ice bath and mix the ingredients while the asparagus is still hot.

Pocky are sweet Japanese cookies that come in many flavors. You can find them at your local Asian market or in the international aisle at a grocery store. Milk chocolate is the most popular flavor, but you can also find Pocky in other flavors too, such as matcha (green tea), strawberry, and cookies 'n cream. If you can’t find Pocky, any long, thin biscuit, such as a breadstick, will do. If you’re playing the game with a group of people, the rules of the game are the same. You can have two couples play at once. Then, the winners of both games can face off in their own Pocky game.  The Pocky game often results in a kiss, so it makes sense to pick a partner you wouldn’t mind kissing to begin with. You can use this as an opportunity to break the ice with your crush or bring you closer to a good friend. The Pocky game is meant to be a fun (and sexy!) party game. Bring Pocky to a party, and then simply propose play. You might say, “Has anyone played the Pocky game before?” You’ll either be met with enthusiasm or curiosity. Either way, you’ll have a captive audience to teach the rules. You can also play the game at other occasions too, such as sleepovers. Because you’ll be getting close to the other players, it’s considerate to brush your teeth so that you have good breath for the Pocky game. If you don’t have access to a toothbrush at the party, chewing a stick of mint gum for a little bit would do.  Spit the gum out before you begin to play so that it doesn't get stuck on the Pocky. Make sure that you are in good health. Don't play this game if you are sick. Brushing alone won't get rid of those germs.

These diffusers, which can be bought at many different department stores, are highly porous. They allow the essential oils to diffuse first into the stone and then into the air. These can be placed or hung wherever they can be most useful, such as high traffic areas or in a doorway. People walking by will cause waves of air to move by the diffusers. You can also place these diffusers in front of a fan.  Once the oil evaporates, you will have to refill it. You can also buy necklaces specifically designed to do this as well, which are worn around the neck. Electric fan diffusers are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and styles. These typically come with pads that are used to soak up the oils. The oils can evaporate quickly on these, but the pads are changeable. Avoid any diffuser that heats the oils unless there are settings on the diffuser that you can set to approximate body temperature. Nebulizers and atomizers are like humidifiers. They break up the oil into smaller droplets so they diffuse more easily. These usually contain two basic components, a base that contains the motor for the nebulizer and a glass or plastic bowl where the essential oil is placed.  Glass is preferable to plastic bowls because essential oils won’t stick to glass as much as they will to plastic. Be careful with the glass bowl, because they can be expensive to replace. There are a number of companies and businesses, both online and in stores, that sell these types of diffusers. See which type seems best to you, and check to see if there are any reviews or customer comments to find the best ones.

If you are younger than 27, the best states for marrying are Wyoming, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Idaho and Utah. If you are older than 30, try Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Massachusetts and New York, where they are older brides and grooms.  In most states the average age is under 30. First marriage statistics tend to go down for men over 35, so take this into account when considering a change of location. A study conducted by the European Journal of Operational Research found the highest marriage success rate when the wife was five years younger than her husband. Though not a guarantee a younger woman is right for you, taking this into account while searching for your wife may improve your odds of a favorable union. A study of Facebook’s data showed that 28 percent of married Facebook users found their spouses while attending college. The best colleges for men to find wives were Martin Luther College, Harding University and Faith Baptist Bible College.  Other good choices included Stanford, Harvard, University of Georgia, Bowdoin College, University of Texas-Austin, Columbia, University of Chicago, Wellesley College, Vanderbilt and the Culinary Institute of America. In 2006, the New York Times reported that marriage rates were dropping for single men over 40 without college degrees. Women’s high education rates may have led to fewer women marrying and expecting to be more economically dependent. A college degree may increase your likelihood of marriage. Many reports suggest that  women are upwardly mobile and career-oriented will look for men who are similarly ambitious. Sites like itsjustlunch.com offer dating services for people who are busy and career-minded.  Dating outside your social class can create many difficulties in a relationship, like causing you to feel insecure that you cannot afford her desired lavish lifestyle. A lack of shared life experience between you and your potential spouse can also cause friction.

TL;DR in English: Consider moving to a new state with favorable marriage trends. Try looking for someone who is slightly younger. Go to college, or go back to college. Look for someone in the same social class.

Cut patterned scrapbooking paper into a rectangle that's long enough to wrap around your chocolate bar. Write a message on the back of the paper, when wrap it around the chocolate so that the message is on the inside. Secure the ends of the paper with tape.  Make the label a little bit narrower than the candy bar so that you can see the sides of the candy bar. Use Valentine's day themed scrapbooking paper, or paper with lots of pink, red, or purple in it. Decorate the front of the candy bar with Valentine's day stickers for a cute touch. Cut a rectangle from paper and fold it in half widthwise. Punch a hole in the middle of the crease, then slide the lollipop through the hole, sandwiching it inside the folded paper. Tape the paper shut along the top edge. Write your message on the front of the folded paper.  The rectangle should be the same width as the candy part of the lollipop and twice the height. Valentine's day-themed scrapbooking paper and red, pink, or purple cardstock are all great choices. For a nicer touch, use a heart-shaped sticker instead of tape. For a twist, write your message inside the folded paper, then decorate the outside with Valentine's day stickers. Fold a sheet of red, pink, or purple paper in half. Cut a 4-inch (10-cm) tall half-butterfly shape out of it. Cut 2 slits into the crease, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Unfold the butterfly, then slide a round lollipop through the slit. Decorate the butterfly's wings as desired.  Write a message on the back of the butterfly, or around the edges of the wings. Decorate the wings with Valentine's day stickers or paint them with acrylic craft paint. Round lollipops, such as tootsie pops or dumdums will work the best.

Place the panel in the center of the doorway. Make sure the track is level with the door's edges.

Measure the garage door opening before purchasing panels. Lay weather stripping over the bottom door panel. Place brackets over the panel's lower corners. Center the door panel in the garage doorway. Screw hinges to the top of the panel. Insert rollers into the hinges and brackets. Wrap the roller track around the wheels. Screw the track to the door frame.

Lying in a variety of poses will help loosen phlegm and allow you to cough up mucous. First, lie on your back and prop pillows under you to elevate your hips. Then, lay on your right side with 2 pillows under your right hip. Rotate, and lay on your left side with 2 pillows under your left hip. Finally, lay on your stomach with 2 pillows under your hips.  Stay in each position for 5–10 minutes. The medical term “postural drainage” simply means adjusting the position of your body so that phlegm can drain from your lungs. While reclining in each position for postural drainage, breathe by expanding your stomach. Rather than focusing on breathing high in your chest (which may cause a coughing fit), focus on breathing low in your stomach. This will help the phlegm drain from your lungs.    Press out your stomach as far as it will go, and then imagine that you’re trying to fill that entire space with air when you inhale. The medical term for this type of breathing is “belly breathing” or “diaphragmatic breathing.” If the postural draining doesn’t loosen up your phlegm, you may need to physically loosen up the congestion. Cup one of your hands and tap your chest and back with about as much force as you’d use to crack an egg. Avoid tapping directly on your sternum or on your spine. You may need to ask a friend or family member to help you tap hard-to-reach parts of your chest and back. As you tap your chest and recline for postural drainage, phlegm and mucous will begin to loosen in your lungs. To cough up phlegm, sit down and lean slightly forward in a chair. Fold your arms over your stomach, and lean forward. As you press down on your stomach, cough 2 or 3 times. Pause for a few seconds, and then repeat.  As the phlegm comes up from your lungs, spit it out into a tissue, trash can, or other nearby receptacle. Practice controlled coughing to avoid coughing fits, which often cause your trachea and other airways to constrict.

TL;DR in English: Recline in different positions for postural drainage. Breathe deeply from your stomach while draining your lungs. Tap on your chest and back to loosen up phlegm. Practice controlled coughing.

Use a tape measure to carefully record the length and width of the opening. Order this size so the panels will be made slightly smaller, fitting perfectly in the doorway. The panels will be about 1⁄4 in (6.4 mm) smaller than the opening. At a home improvement store, purchase some rubber weather stripping. Lay the panel flat on a workbench. The stripping is shaped like a tube, and you can fit the edge of the door panel in the tube's groove. Any of the panels can be used as the lower panel. Pick one, but remember that the one with the weather stripping is the one that needs to be placed first. Place 1 bracket on each side of the door over the weather stripping. When the brackets appear level with the door's edges, secure them to the panel with lag screws and a cordless screwdriver. Have a friend help you pick up and move the heavy panel to the doorway. Position the panel in the center of the doorway, then hold a level over the panel to make sure it's level. Use shims to adjust the panel as needed. Shims are small wood strips you can slide under the door panel to even out the sides. Purchase packs at a home improvement store. Start by installing a hinge in each of the panel's upper corners. Screw them in place with more lag screws. Center another hinge on this top edge and screw it in place. The rollers have metal rods that you slide into the holes on the hinges and brackets. Set 1 roller in both of the brackets as well as both side hinges. Pick a side to focus on first. Get the bottom piece of the track and work it onto the wheels. It'll have an indentation that the wheels fit into cleanly. Once you have the wheels in place, line up the track against the door frame. Make sure there's a little bit of space between the track and door frame so the door doesn't create friction later. Find the track's brackets, then use lag screws to secure the track directly to the door frame.

Your own Twitter account and tweets will likely play a big part in getting a reply from your idol.  Depending on who your idol is, they may or may not appreciate certain tone, language, or other elements of your tweets.  Try to use language that you think your idol will most enjoy.  For example, a profanity loaded tweet sent to Martha Stewart is highly unlikely to be noticed. On the other hand, tweeting your favorite comedian a rude joke might be appreciated.

TL;DR in English:


Don’t worry about the fan. It’s not a problem. It’s just a matter of getting the right paint.

Sand the blades with 120-grit sandpaper. Paint all parts with white-colored primer. After the white-colored primer is dry, paint all of the parts. After the first coat of paint is dry, apply a second coat of paint to all parts.

Have you ever gotten angry because you can't find the remote or the Corn Flakes, then gotten even angrier because nobody in your house can put things back where they belong, then eventually calmed down and realized the remote or Corn Flakes are in fact exactly where they belong and you just missed seeing them?  When we panic about losing something, especially something important like a wallet, we lose focus and can easily overlook obvious clues -- or even the item right in front of us.  Take several deep breaths, and try to clear your mind.  Try not to think about all the problems you'll have to face if you can't find your wallet.  Focus only on the wallet, where it should be, and where it could be.  Then begin your true search. Your first search was probably increasingly panic-stricken and thus increasingly useless.  Now that you are calm, pick out the most obvious spots where your wallet would be -- the pocket of your pants hanging on the chair, your nightstand, your desk at work -- and give a proper search. Search in proximity to the obvious places as well -- the floor around your nightstand, your other desk drawers / pants pockets, etc. Think about the last place you remember having your wallet -- paying for coffee downtown, picking it up from your nightstand, etc. -- and work backwards until reaching that point.  Go through all the clothes you’ve worn in that period of time, and check all the pockets carefully.  Be sure to include coats and bags as well. Working your way back through your routine may help jog your memory, so leave no stone unturned even if it seems an unlikely place to have lost your wallet. Consider whether someone may have (without bad intent) picked up your wallet -- a curious child?  a friend trying to help?  Contact anyone who may have had inadvertent contact with your wallet. Did you visit a restaurant, theater, an office, or even a friend’s house?  Call and ask if your wallet has turned up.  You may need to describe your wallet.  Knowing the name on your ID and credit cards will...

TL;DR in English: Relax, focus, and think. Look again in places it would normally be. Retrace your steps. Call places you visited recently. Look carefully in places it would not normally be. Assume your wallet is stolen if not found within a day or so.

This will help strip the fan of any leftover dirt, dust, or old, flaky paint. This part could be optional if you’re working with a fan that’s in very good condition, but for older fans, it makes the job much easier. After sanding, make sure to wipe off any grains of residue. A clean rag and some soapy water is simple and works well. Let the parts air dry. In an old t-shirt and gloves, shake up the bottle and test it on an area of old newspaper or cardboard. Once it’s ready to go, spray the blades and/or hardware pieces with a thin, even coat. Allow them to air dry. It’s easiest to work with primer in spray paint form when it comes to a ceiling fan. You could use generic liquid primer, but this stuff is much less messy and goes on easier and more evenly. Again, using spray paint is easiest (though not mandatory), and for any color you should be spraying from about 6–8 inches (15.2–20.3 cm) away. Move the can in a side-to-side motion to get an even coat of paint. It’s best to start with the blades first, so they can get to drying.  Neutral colors (grey, white, brown) generally always work, but brighter colors can add a splash of fun that match the room’s look, too. What’s more, you could even buy paint in shades of metal, like nickel or copper, to give your fan an updated, more modern look. If you don’t want certain bits to get painted, cover them with painter’s tape. Let it dry, too, and inspect the pieces for any parts that have gone missed or that need a thicker coat in certain areas. If you’ve only missed a teeny, tiny section, you could always touch it up with the right shade of permanent marker.

TL;DR in English:


Many people will tell you to take art lessons if you want to learn how to draw but that can be a little intimidating if you’re a complete beginner. So why not learn at home? If you browse on the Internet, you’ll see that there are lots of great websites offering free and paid lessons, and also YouTube has thousands of terrific videos on the subject.  Have patience with yourself. Even for skilled artists, the beginning of a drawing can look frightening. But it almost always can be corrected. You’ll be surprised, too, at how well a drawing will turn out to be when you’re finished with it.  Practice drawing a pet or roommate. Draw Charlie, your pit-bull dog, when he’s sleeping or when he’s playing in the backyard with a ball. Or, if you have a roommate, start sketching the person while they’re making dinner. Once they leave the room, then finish the drawing from a photo that you have of them. Consider enlarging it so that you can see the person or animal’s features better.  Experts say that it takes about 10,000 hours of doing something before you become expert at it. If that amount of time overwhelms you, don’t let it because you have to start somewhere. One of the best things you can do is buy a good beginner’s book. Look for one that has clear, step-by-step instructions. You also want it to have simple patterns for some basic garments and home decoration items as well. Look for real pattern paper in the book, too. You will also need a good machine. There isn’t anything more discouraging when learning to sew than on a temperamental sewing machine. Vintage machines are actually some of the best but zig-zaggers work well, too.  Start with small sewing projects. It’s a lot more fun to sew something simple and do it well then tackling something too advanced and being disappointed with the results. You’ll learn either way, but it’s easy to get discouraged when the results don’t match what your expectations were.  Like any other skill, you’ll need lots of practice. After a while, sewing tasks that seemed difficult...

TL;DR in English: Teach yourself how to draw. Learn how to sew. Get into yoga.

The first thing you need to look at is your foot placement:  Your front foot should be placed just behind the bolts on your board, pointing slightly towards the front at a 45 degree angle. The ball of your back foot should be perched on the tail of your board. Don't hunch forwards, keeping your shoulders in line with your board.

Text the other person about some of your favorite topics. Send the other person a joke over text. Talk to the other person about things they shared on social media. Text the other person a photo or video.

The parent needs to be the one in control, but all too often, the persistence of the child breaks down the parent’s will.  Consider the little girl who asks for a Coke five or six times in three minutes, all while the parent is on the phone, or dealing with the other baby, or trying to fix dinner. Sometimes it’s tempting - and indeed, easier - to cave in: “Fine—go ahead but leave me in peace!” However, the message being sent out is that persistence will win the day and that she, and not the parent, is in control. ADHD children do not do very well with permissive discipline. These children need firm and loving guidance and boundaries. Long discussions about rules and why we have them do not work. Some parents are uncomfortable with this approach at first. However, keeping rules firm, consistent, and loving is not harsh or cruel. The cardinal rule is that discipline must be consistent, immediate, and powerful. Any punishment should reflect the misbehavior.   Do not send your child to their room as punishment. Most children with ADHD will get easily distracted by their toys and belongings and have a wonderful time...and the "punishment" ends up being a reward. In addition, sending your child to their room is generally removed from and unrelated to the specific infraction, and they will have a hard time connecting the behavior with the punishment in order to learn not to repeat that behavior. Consequences should also be immediate. For example, if a child is told that it is to put their bike away and come inside but they continue to ride, do not tell them they cannot ride it tomorrow. Delayed consequences have little or no meaning to a child with ADHD, as they tend to live in the "here and now" and what happened yesterday has no real meaning for today. As a result, this approach will like result in a blow-up the following day when the consequence is enforced and the child actually has not made the connection. Instead, confiscate the bike immediately and explain you will discuss terms of earning it back at a later...

TL;DR in English: Be the authority--you are the adult. Make sure there are consequences for misbehavior. Be consistent. Avoid inviting debate with your child. Establish a time-out system. Learn to anticipate problems and plan ahead. Forgive quickly.

Incorporating your favorite topics into the conversation will make it easier to keep the conversation going because you’ll have a lot to say about them. You can even make a mental list of topics you like so you never run out of things to say. For example, you could text them something like “I’m watching an old Alfred Hitchcock movie right now, I love classic horror films.” or “I can’t wait for the Super Bowl next weekend, football is my life.” Use the joke to lighten up the conversation and make the other person feel more comfortable texting with you. Just make sure you know your audience; don’t send a crude joke to someone you’re just getting to know (unless they’ve told you they like that sort of thing). Try to keep your jokes light and fun. If you can't think of a joke to send, text them a funny meme or GIF instead. If they posted a funny article you liked on Facebook, mention it to them. If they shared a photo of their meal at a restaurant, ask them where they went to eat. Make sure the other person knows you’re friends on social media before you mention something they shared; you don’t want to come across as intrusive or creepy. Try to send something that’s recent and interesting. If you went on a hike recently and took some beautiful photos at the peak, send a couple of them to the other person. If you have a video of your dog doing something silly, send it to them. Use the photo or video as a way to branch off in the conversation. Make sure you provide some context so they understand what you’re sending them. For example, if you send them a photo a painting you just finished, send them a text along with it that says something like “I just finished this watercolor painting, I’ve been working on it for three weeks. What do you think?”

TL;DR in English:


You can't drive in a car. You can't drive in a car. You can't drive in a car. You can't drive in a car. You can't drive in a car. You can't drive in a car. You can't drive in a car. You can't drive in a car.

Clover mites often lay eggs on dry areas of land, such as those found around sun-exposed walls and the bases of evergreen plants. You can prevent these eggs from hatching by watering the dry patches thoroughly. Clover mite eggs look like small, maroon balls. If you notice clover mites crawling on your trees or other plants, treat the infested greenery with a liquid insecticide or acaricide. Apply the insecticide early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid scorching the plants, and follow the label directions to avoid under-dosing or overdosing. Use an insecticide like permethrin, cyfluthrin, tetramethrin, tralomethrin, chlorpyrifos, or malathion. You can find these online and at many big-box stores. If you find clover mites in your home or on your plants, there’s a good chance your entire lawn is infested. If further inspection proves this to be true, spray your lawn with a broad-range insecticide like permethrin. For the best results, spray the insecticide using a water bottle equipped with a mist nozzle.  Dilute granular and liquid pesticides with water according to the directions on their label. Make sure you spray your lawn in the early morning or evening so you don’t burn the plants. Look for broad-range insecticides online or at big-box stores. If you find clover mites near your house, place strips of double-sided adhesive tape along your exterior walls and in front of openings like windowsills. When mites crawl onto the tape, they will get stuck and eventually die. Once the tape becomes covered with dead mites, you can remove it and stick another one in its place. If you’d prefer, you can tape saran wrap to the house for a greater amount of coverage.

TL;DR in English: Water dry areas of your lawn where clover mites like to lay eggs. Coat individual plants with a liquid insecticide. Treat your entire lawn with a broad-range insecticide. Lay down strips of double-sided tape to capture the clover mites.

Have a sense of the main places you want to hit, and a rough idea of when you want to get there. Check mileages -- in the United States, places can be hundreds of miles apart in reality but look quite close on the map. Think about how long you can realistically drive per day.  It's often fun to get or buy a map and physically work out your route from that. If you'd rather do it online, Google Maps or MapQuest are good tools: https://maps.google.com/ or http://www.mapquest.com/  Don't set yourself up for exhaustion and failure by planning a trip in which you're in the car for 10 hours a day six days in a row -- that's not fun at all. Make a note of some of the places you'll eat along the way. For some great suggestions, go to roadfood.com or websites like yelp.com where locals can weigh in on the best food in their areas. Try to stick to a loose meal schedule so you're not ravenous and looking for food along a stretch of road with nothing. When in doubt, you can always get a good variety of foods at grocery stores. If you have particular diet (vegan, gluten-free, etc.) grocery stores are often going to be your best choices. If you are going to be staying in one place for a few days, it might make sense to rent an apartment and cook for part of your time there. You will end up saving a lot of money on food, and can even prepare food for the next leg of driving. It's fun to drive aimlessly sometimes and just find a hotel for the night, but it's often hard to find the best lodging at the cheapest price if you don't plan ahead. Sometimes you also get stuck going much farther than you had hoped because you can't find lodging, or the lodging you find is not at all what you wanted. You certainly don't need to plan every stop for every night of your trip -- think about planning one or two nights ahead if you like to keep things loose. If you're going to camp, it's essential that you make reservations, especially in summer at popular campgrounds. Some places fill up months in advance.

Everyone needs time alone, teens and young children included, and this kind of private time is when masturbation is generally appropriate.  However, if they decide to masturbate right in front of you or in front of others, the behavior needs to be curtailed.  With an increase in privacy, the inappropriate behavior may decrease.  Ignore it at bedtime.  If you catch them masturbating at bedtime or when they are alone in the bathroom, you should not punish them, and should just leave them be instead. Remember that masturbation does not necessarily mean that your child will become sexually active with another person soon. It is just a sign of personal body discovery. Until inappropriate behavior in front of others has been addressed, provide your child with some privacy at home, but continue to supervise them in front of other children. When you are in public, you might not want to address the behavior directly as this will call even more attention to it.  However, you can distract your child to snap them out of it and shift their focus to something more appropriate.  If they are younger, you might use a game to do so. For example, you could play "I Spy." If they are older, then you can ask them a question or ask them to do you a favor, such as: “Can you go get me a few napkins, please?" If this doesn't work, say "Please stop that" and then redirect them. Providing a younger child with a blanket or stuffed animal can be a great way to occupy their mind and their hands to distract them from masturbation.  This can also help to soothe children who are anxious or who have any developmental disabilities. If this is an older child, consider a fidget toy, such as a fidget box, fidget spinner, or even a piece of clay. If you are close to your home, you might want to send your child to their rooms so that they can be alone and have their privacy.  Perhaps you are at a neighbor’s home with your child and they are old enough to walk home on their own.  If so, send them home and have a conversation afterwards. If they are...

Zooey has said she likes bangs because “they're cute.” She wears bangs in different styles. Bangs are her most signature look.  She's worn a blunt fringe and softer bangs, so play with both looks. Bangs set off her beautiful blue eyes. This is very, very important if you want to look like her! Zooey has been called the “queen of bangs.” She uses them to make a statement.  Blow dry your bangs straight down, and then use your fingers to dry the hair back and forth across the hairline. Then take a round brush, and blow dry straight out from the hairline.  Then take the round brush, and blow dry back away from the face, to give the ends a small bend. She's normally thought of as a brunette, but Zooey has dyed her hair blond for movie roles. She usually wears her hair medium length, several inches past her shoulders.  Zooey has been quoted as saying “blond hair softens me a bit” but has also said she didn't like blonde hair. However, she is most commonly seen in dark brown hair. “I've always felt like a brunette with bangs,” she has said.  At times, she's accented her dark brown hair with amber highlights that provide additional depth. Her hair is so dark brown it almost has a black sheen, usually. She generally puts a few loose curls into the bottom of her hair, while leaving the bangs natural looking.  Use a large-barreled curling iron to create the looser curls. Zooey says she usually lets her hair dry naturally before applying heat to it.  She has some natural wave in it. Then, she uses a curling iron to add a few curls in. Sometimes, though, she uses a roller set, putting Velcro rollers on the top and a hot roller on the bottom. She uses a round brush. On the red carpet, she may pull her hair into a 1960s bouffant. The decade is her key inspiration. Skip on the hair products. She has said she doesn't like feeling of hair product weighing down her hair.

TL;DR in English: Try bangs. Go brunette. Create loose curls.

If you're planning to run your car insurance company as a full-time job, you will likely need to secure financing to do so. This will likely require either a loan or investment capital from private investors to cover your start-up costs and living expenses until you start generating revenue.  Whereas banks are sometimes hesitant offering new business loans, the SBA exists specifically to help start and run small businesses. Reach out to any personal connections you have in the business world.  Private investors can be a great source of investment capital. Have a carefully prepared proposal ready when you apply for financing.  This should contain details including the total capital you require, the salary you intend to pay yourself, and other initial expenses for the first few years.  This will help potential financiers assess the risk involved in a potential loan or investment. In order to sell insurance, you need to register in the city in which you tend to do business.  You also need to get a business license from the city.  Fill out all necessary applications and pay the associated fees.  While it is unlikely that you will have to undergo any further testing or coursework, there will certainly be paperwork and necessary payments. If you intend to hire employees or hope to incorporate your business, you will also need to acquire an agency license. Other aspects of your long term business plan will necessitate identifying customers and the specific sales strategies that will appeal to them, hiring qualified employees, and identifying competitors.  Once it feels like you’re ready to go, there are likely a few more things to do. Be sure you’ve met all legal requirements and have protected yourself and your business. Purchase liability and property insurance for your car insurance company to protect your assets in case of a natural disaster, an accident, and to protect from losses associated with lawsuits. Finalize which specific insurance policies you want to sell. Though much of this will have been determined...
