Define the purpose of the road trip. Decide where you're going. Know how long you'll be gone. Gauge various routes. Communicate with your traveling companions.

They are located at the west side of Route 5 or the east side of Route 16, respectively. Both routes are adjacent to Nimbasa City. Marvelous Bridge is suggested for easy EXP while collecting feathers, while Driftveil Drawbridge is suggested for lower leveled Pokémon. Make sure you can hear if there are wing-flaps.  You will either get one of seven different kinds of feathers or battle against Ducklett (on Driftveil Drawbridge) or Swanna (on Marvelous Bridge). Collect as many feathers as you can.

Perhaps you are trying to visit a friend in another city, or perhaps you want to explore a handful of famous national parks. Perhaps you are fed up with the rigors and routines of workaday life, and you just want to go somewhere else. Keep perspective. If you want to plot out the whole trip in advance, then you'll need to do a bit of booking and organizing to make everything run smoothly. If you just want to hit the road for a few days and see where you wind up, then you don't need to plan much at all. Do you have one destination, or several destinations, or no destination? Look at a map, and mark all of the places that you want to visit. Calculate the distances and travel times between these points. Chart out an "optimal route" that touches upon all of the places that you want to see.  If time is a constraint, you may not be able to see everything that you want. Rank your priorities, and decide whether any destinations take you too far out of the way. Think about the balance of your trip. Do you want to spend most of your time rambling through wild, outdoor spaces, or do you want to see the cities along the way? How much time do you want to spend outside of the car? Try using a road trip planning app or website to chart your course. These services can help you decide how far to drive each day, which roads to take, and how to optimally hit all of your destination points. Some of these sites will even help you book hotels and other accommodations! A road trip might last a day, a week, a month, or even longer. The only limits are the length of the road and the strength of your obligations back home. The longest road trips can be hugely ambitious or lushly open-ended – and they may not even have a set "destination" in mind. Try to fit the road trip into a "free" or unscheduled block of time: a vacation from school, a break from work; any time when you don't have any serious, conflicting commitments.  Consider the basic logistics. Ensure that you have enough money to take this trip. Check that you can get the...

Is the purpose to explain why you've joined a class about metal working? Is the purpose to introduce your place and history with your company to a work seminar? Before you write a single thing down, you should have a clear idea about what this speech is meant to accomplish. Write down the purpose of your speech at the top of the page. If the speech is a general introduction of yourself, include things like where you're from, how you ended up here in this group, what your passions and interests are, and what you hope to get out of this event or group. If this is a work-related speech, it would be wise to include things like your own qualifications and important skills, things that bolster your credibility and reason for being there. Ultimately it's up to you to decide what topics and ideas should make up your speech.  One method for brainstorming is to create a mind map. You can do this with a paper and pencil, starting by writing your central idea or theme in the middle of the page. Then use lines to connect ideas and points that branch off from this central idea. For a speech about yourself, you might start with a central bubble labeled "Me". Then you might have three or four bubbles connected to the central one that say things like "Interests", "Aspirations", etcetera. Then as you continue branching out the bubbles will get more specific.  There are other methods for brainstorming you might find useful. You could try the alphabet method, where you list a few things related to the subject of your speech for each letter, starting with A and working down. Another brainstorming method is the three perspectives method. You think about the subject of the speech in three perspectives. First, describe the subject, which is yourself in this case. Then, trace it. Trace your history, where you came from and where you've come to, and how you've changed over that journey. Finally, map it. Think about who and what has influenced you and how. How do you fit into the bigger picture. First, determine who your audience is....

Combine the brine ingredients. Boil over high heat. Add the beef brisket and let soak.

Playing with other vaccinated dogs is a normal part of your dog's puppyhood. And just like your own childhood, this is a time for exploration and learning lessons. Regular play with other well-mannered dogs, who don't need to act to teach bite inhibition, will encourage her to play nicely around other dogs and you. Consider enrolling your puppy in a puppy training class, where your dog can learn essential skills while having fun. Take out a toy or bone and let her bite on it. This will teach her that her teeth belong on a toy or bone instead of on your skin. Playing rough with your hands is plenty fun, but it might be giving your puppy the wrong idea. Encourage other forms of play that don't involve your puppy nipping at your fingers, hands, ankles, and toes.  Learn how to play fetch with your dog. Stick to the same rules every time you play. Learn how to play tug-of-war with your dog. Stick to the same rules to encourage your puppy to stop mouthing if she gets close to your hands. Provide plenty of interesting and new toys so that you keep your dog engaged. A bored dog is a lot more likely to seek attention from you by biting. Cycle out your toys so that your dog is less likely to get bored. Before you start playing with your dog, spray a taste deterrent on areas of your body and clothes that you dog likes to play rough with. When your dog starts biting you, stop all movement and wait for her to react to the taste deterrent. Praise her and continue playing with her when she lets go.  Some options for taste deterrents include bitter apple, vapor rub, tea tree oil, or white vinegar.  Alternatively, you can spray breath freshener spray (such as Binaca) into the puppy’s mouth as both a taste and sound deterrent at the moment of a bite. Spray the taste deterrent on your body and clothes (if it is fabric-safe) for at least two weeks. After two weeks, your puppy will likely have developed a strong distaste for your hands and ankles. A well-exercised puppy (exercised to the point of being tired) will not be as rough...

TL;DR in English: Encourage your puppy to play with other friendly puppies and dogs. Substitute your puppy's favorite bone or chew toy for your skin whenever she bites you. Engage in other forms of play. Use a taste deterrent to keep your dog from biting. Make sure your puppy is getting plenty of exercise. Don't treat like with like. Don't discourage normal forms of play.

Pour the water, salt, liquid smoke, garlic, and pickling spice into a large stockpot.  Make sure that the stockpot you use can fit inside of your refrigerator. You will need to store it there in a later step. Place the stockpot on the stove. Give the ingredients a quick stir with a large mixing spoon to combine well. Turn the burner onto high heat and cook the brine ingredients until they just begin to boil. At that point, the brine should be removed from the heat and cooled to room temperature. Most of the spices in the pickling mix should have had the chance to dissolve, and the same goes for the salt. Essentially, boiling the ingredients together blends the flavors more effectively. Place the brisket in the brine, cover, and refrigerate overnight.  Cover loosely with the stockpot's lid or with a sheet of plastic wrap or aluminum foil. The brisket should chill in the brine for at least 8 hours, if possible. For a stronger flavor and more tender pastrami, though, you could let it sit in the brine up to 3 days.

Accept your parents' plans without arguing. Remember the big picture. Work on bringing your grades up. Maintain communication with your parents.

Hold the closed Bible with one hand. Rest the spine on a table or counter. Throughout the entire process, you'll need to use one hand to hold the upright, closed portion of the Bible in place. You'll need to use your other hand to open and crease each section. Keep the pages closed while carefully releasing the front and back covers. Gently ease the covers open until they lie flat on the table. Instead of letting the covers drop quickly, it would be better to slowly open and lay them down using your free hand. Carefully open the first 50 to 100 pages of the Bible. Lay them out flat, then slowly run your fingers up and down the gutter of the top page, pressing into the binding as you move. This action gently stretches the stitching of the Bible binding, making the pages of the book more flexible, easier to turn, and easier to handle. As a result, the pages of the book are less likely to loosen or fall out when being handled. Open the back 50 to 100 pages of the Bible and let them lay flat on table. Gently yet firmly run your fingers up and down the gutter here, as well.  This back section should be just as thick as the front section was. By alternating between the front and back of the book, you can make sure that the stitches are stretched evenly in both directions. Continue opening and creasing sections of the Bible using the same technique. Alternate back and forth between front sections and back sections, repeating as often as necessary until the Bible is completely and evenly split open. Once the entire book lies open on the table, the “breaking in” process is complete.

TL;DR in English: Place the spine on a hard surface. Let the covers fall open. Crease open a section of pages at the front. Crease open a section at the back. Repeat through the remaining pages.

Once your parents have decided how to proceed, do not argue. Arguing or complaining about your parents' plans will only make them angry. Even if you feel frustrated by new rules, accept them with maturity to avoid making your parents angrier. To keep your own emotions in check, remember why your parents are angry. Grades are important for your future. They can help you get into a good college and eventually get a good job. It can be stressful to deal with your parents' anger, but they want what's best for you. Immediately start trying harder to bring your grades up. This will prevent your parents from becoming angry in the future.   Pay attention during class by taking notes, avoiding electronics, and not sitting near friends.  Ask questions if anything confuses you and schedule a private meeting with your teacher.  Avoid procrastinating on your homework and study for tests and quizzes well in advance. Keep talking to your parents about school, even when things are going well. Let them know how you did on a quiz, any subjects you're struggling with, and other details of your academic life. Open communication helps your parents know when you may need help. This can prevent bad grades in the future.

Add Marmite to soups and stews for savory flavor. Pair Marmite with cheeses. Use Marmite sparingly on spaghetti.

Set small goals. Move on to the next meat. Add in more vegetables. Allow yourself some less-healthy options. Make your own meatless options. Decide how far you want to go.

In small quantities, Marmite can give soups, stews, and other hearty liquid dishes a rich, savory flavor (and also works great as a browning agent). For instance, try mixing a spoonful of Marmite into a pot of French onion soup in place of beef stock — the flavor of the finished soup goes great with bread and cheese, just like ordinary Marmite. In general, you can usually get away with substituting Marmite mixed with water, your favorite vegetables, and a little oil for beef broth. This can allow you to make great-tasting vegetarian versions of all your favorite carnivorous soups and stews. Many Marmite fans agree: the spread pairs deliciously with a wide variety of cheeses. Sharp cheddar is an especially great choice — the salty, yeasty flavor of the Marmite enhances the "sharpness" of the cheese, making for a bold-flavored (but tasty) combination. Try adding a few slices of cheese to standard Marmite and butter toast for a satisfying breakfast. Though it may sound odd, Marmite can be a tasty ingredient to include in glazes and sauces for meat dishes. Used correctly, Marmite can give the outer "crust" of roasted meats, poultry, and seafood a rich, distinct "umami" (savory) flavor. Try painting a light mixture of melted butter and Marmite over a whole roasted chicken for a savory treat — you should only need a spoonful or two to cover it. If you use Marmite as a meat glaze, you may want to forego sprinkling salt from the salt shaker on your meat, especially if you need to be careful about your sodium intake. Marmite has a very high salt content — it's more than 10% salt by mass! Believe it or not, some people not only eat their spaghetti with Marmite — they love it. If you're willing to experiment, try adding a half teaspoon of Marmite to al dente noodles along with a small helping of olive oil! You may want to avoid using fine tomato sauces or cheeses to top your dish until you're positive that you enjoy it! Note that some fans of this recipe describe the flavor as being similar to the British snack food "Twiglets".

TL;DR in English: Add Marmite to soups and stews for savory flavor. Pair Marmite with cheeses. Use Marmite as a glaze for roast meats. Use Marmite sparingly on spaghetti.

Don't try to go completely meatless right away. While that works for some people, it can make the transition much harder for you than if you do it in smaller steps.  For instance, you could say that you're giving up beef for the next 10 days while still eating poultry and/or fish. Alternatively, you could pick what meat you like the least to cut out first. Once you've cut out one meat, move on to the next meat. For instance, once you've cut out red meat, set a timeline for pork.  Don't beat up on yourself if you mess up and eat the meat you're cutting out. It's a process you need to adjust to gradually. You can satisfy a craving, then move on. Over time, eliminate all of the meats you want to give up. As you cut out meat, make sure you're adding in more vegetables to your diet. You should also be adding in plant-based proteins, such as beans and other legumes and whole grains.  It's good to try some new vegetables right now. You may have been fairly predictable in your vegetable choices before going vegetarian, but adding in new vegetables will keep it more interesting. Try to eat vegetables instead of extra carbohydrates such as pasta or rice. While both will fill you up, if you're trying to be healthier, the vegetables are the better option. When you're transitioning, you may want to give into cravings for some less-healthy options. Maybe your craving is sugar or maybe you've got a thing for chips. While you don't want to make these foods a staple of your diet, letting yourself eat a few while you're transitioning can make it easier.  Another way to help deal with cravings is to add umami to your food. Umami is a Japanese word that describes a fifth type of taste in addition to sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. It describes a savoriness that you often find in meats, but that you can also add to your vegetarian diet. For instance, using fermented condiments, such as soy sauce, liquid aminos, or vegan Worcestershire sauce, can help add umami to your food. Other options are dried mushrooms and tomatoes,...

In order to find the total amount you will pay over the course of the time you pay back a loan, you will have to work through the article in stages. Let’s look at an example article: ”You borrow 5,000 from a bank and plan to repay the loan principal, plus and accumulated interest in five years. The rate of the interest is 10%. How much will you pay, in total, at the end of the five years? Once you have read through the article, create an equation based on the standard equation F = P(1 + i)^N. For our question, our equation would be: F = 5000(1 + 0.1)^5. When you have written out your equation, start to solve your problem. The first step towards doing this is to solve the equation within the parentheses first. For our equation: Solve (1 + 0.1) = 1.1. So now our equation looks like this: F = 5000(1.1)^5. Once you have simplified the information in the parentheses, you should move onto applying the years (N) of the equation. This means raising the number inside the parentheses to the Nth degree. For our equation: (1.1)^5 means multiplying 1.1 to itself five times. In this case, (1.1)^5 = 1.61051. You should now only have one step left in the process of solving your equation. To finish the equation and find F, or the total amount paid, you will have to multiply P with the number in the parentheses. For our equation: F = 5000(1.61051) therefore, F = $8,052.55. That means that you would have paid $8,052.55 over the course of the five years.

Turn the engine off when you’re drifting.

Pick a manual transmission car to make drifting easier. Choose a car with rear-wheel drive for more effective drifting. Drive on worn-out tires for an easier time starting a drift.

Avoid using commercial products that have anti-limescale ingredients since they could leave the enamel looking dull. Instead, remove the chalky buildup by mixing together equal parts of white vinegar and water. Dip a soft cloth into the diluted vinegar and rub it on the limescale until it dissolves. Rinse the area and dry it immediately. Avoid rubbing the diluted vinegar over other parts of the tub that don't have limescale since this could damage it. For most stains, mix together 1/2 cup (120 ml) of chlorine bleach and 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water. Dip a cloth in the solution and rub it over the stain. You can also spray the solution directly on the stain. Let the bleach solution sit for 1 to 2 minutes and then rinse it off. Dry the tub once the stain is removed. Do not apply bleach right after you apply vinegar, as they will form a noxious gas if they mix. When you need to use both vinegar and bleach, make sure you thoroughly rinse away the vinegar before you apply the bleach, and vice versa. If you have tougher stains that don't disappear after using the bleach solution, make a gentle cleaning paste. Mix together 1 part hydrogen peroxide with 2 parts cream of tartar. Spread this paste over the stains and let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Use a soft cloth to wipe away the paste and then rinse the area. Dry it if the stains are gone.  As an alternative, you can use baking soda and vinegar to remove tough stains. Sprinkle the baking soda over the stain, then spray vinegar onto the baking soda. The vinegar and baking soda will react to each other, creating a foam. Let the foam sit for 5-10 minutes, then scrub it away with a clean cloth. If the stains aren't gone, you can repeat the treatment until they disappear. Slice a fresh lemon in half and rub it directly onto rust stains. Keep rubbing the lemon until you see the stains lift and disappear. Rinse the tub and dry it immediately. Some people may recommend dipping the lemon in salt before scrubbing it over the stain, but the salt could scratch or damage...

Manual transmission cars have a clutch pedal and a gear shift you use to control the engine. Automatic cars take care of this for you. When you’re drifting, the extra control enables you to achieve the correct speed and angle required to get around a bend. When a car has rear-wheel drive, the engine controls the rear wheels only. Other cars have engines responsible for the front wheels or all 4 wheels. The rear wheels are what you need during a drift, so a car with a rear-wheel drive system is much easier to control. When choosing a car, figure out what kind of system it has by checking the owner’s manual or researching it online.  Another option is to use a 4-wheel drive car where the engine controls all 4 wheels. The best 4-wheel drive cars are ones that have stronger back wheels. You will have to test drive the car to determine which wheels adhere to the road more. Cars with front-wheel drive are very difficult to drift without a lot of practice. The front wheels control the car in order to prevent it from sliding. You end up understeering, which means the car doesn’t turn as much as you desire. Worn-out tires have less traction, so your car slides more easily when you round a bend. The front tires don’t matter as much, but using old rear tires makes a difference if your car doesn’t drift well. Try saving a spare set of tires to put on your car before you practice. Inexpensive tires, even if they are new, often can help with drifting. Many cars come equipped with automatic stability or steering control systems. Turning these systems off makes drifting much easier if a change of tires aren’t enough to make a difference. However, driving without these systems is dangerous unless you’re good at controlling the car.

Speak to well-educated English-speakers. Listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Pronounce the endings of words. Practice tongue-twisters.

Try on the shoes to see which parts need to be smaller. Dab an ill-fitting area of the shoe with water until it is damp but not saturated. Apply heat to the wet fabric with a blow dryer on the medium setting. Put on the shoe to see if the fit has improved. Use leather conditioner to protect leather and suede shoes.

Education is not the most important part of learning proper English by any means, but people with extensive educations do often have a strong grasp on the rules of grammar and syntax. Speak to well-educated people, like your teachers,  your family members, or even nice strangers to hear what English is supposed to sound like. Try to mimic how these people speak. It may feel strange or awkward at first, but with practice it will become second nature. English speakers who are recording their voices will pay extra attention to their pronunciation and how they are saying a word. Read along with an audiobook to see how each word is pronounced, or listen to an educational podcast for a more conversational tone. You can even stop the recording and repeat new words until you get them right. A common mistake many native and non-native English speakers make is not pronouncing the endings of words. Try over-enunciating the endings of words at first, then relax a little. Dropping the ends of words makes the language more informal, since some of them can be versions of slang words. For instance, instead of saying "goin’,” say "going.” Instead of saying "makin’," say "making.” To practice your pronunciation and moving from word to word quickly as you speak, say some tongue-twisters to yourself once a day. Practice ones that rely heavily on different letters and pronunciations so that you get a well-rounded practice.  Common tongue-twisters include: “Sally sells seashells down by the sea shore.” ”Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.” ”How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” Tongue-twisters are notoriously difficult to say, even for native English speakers. Don’t get discouraged if it takes some practice to get these right.

Put the shoes on and stand with your feet flat on the floor, and then take a few steps. Check to see which places on the shoe aren’t touching your foot, and decide which parts need to be smaller for the shoes to fit more snugly.  If you bought the shoe in your size, you probably won’t need to shrink the entire shoe. Instead, you’re just going to be focusing on shrinking one area of the shoe at a time. For instance, you may want to make the sides of a canvas shoe slightly smaller so your foot doesn’t slip out while you walk. Dip your fingers into cool water and pat the water onto the shoe. Continue this until the fabric is damp but not dripping wet. Focus the water on the areas that are the most stretched.  Avoid getting water on the insole of the shoe, as this can cause it to become smelly, cracked, or discolored. For a leather or suede shoe, focus the water around the top edge of the shoe, which tends to be the stretchiest area.  Adding water and heat to shoes like patent leather heels, coated leather sneakers, or larger shoes, like boots, won’t be effective for shrinking them. In those cases, you’ll need to use inserts to get a better fit. Hold a blow dryer about 6 inches (15 cm) away from the area where you applied the water. Turn the dryer on and set the heat at the medium level. Leave the dryer on until the fabric is dry to the touch.  Don’t hold the blow dryer too close to the fabric. The concentrated heat from the dryer discolor lighter canvas fabrics. For leather and suede, continuously move the dryer around the top edge of the shoe to heat the leather, causing it to contract and shrink. If the leather starts to smell or crack while you’re applying heat, turn the blow dryer off and let the shoes air dry. Once the area is dry, put the shoe back on your fut and stand up with your feet flat on the floor. Take a few steps to see if the the fabric feels tighter. If it does, your shoe has shrunk.  If it still feels loose, re-apply the water to the area and continue blow drying. If they feel too tight, wear...

Don't be a jerk. Don't be a jerk. Don't be a jerk.

Drop a subtle, audible hint about being quiet. Ask them to be quiet. Use nonverbal methods to get people to keep it down. Be considerate if the loud patron is a child.

If you want to keep your man happy emotionally and sexually, then you can't just settle into the same old routine, even if you've been together for years. You have to make an effort to keep things fresh or both of you will lose interest. Here are some ways to do it:  Do something that you've never done before together at least once a month. It could be rock climbing, biking, or playing beach volleyball. Take a dance class together. Learning to salsa or ballroom dance will help you keep your bodies in sync as you explore new horizons. Find a new way to compliment your man every week. You can always think of more things that you love about him. Play hard to get once in a while. He shouldn't feel like he can have you whenever he wants. Know that the chase is never over. He should be working as hard to pursue you as he did the day you met. The easiest way to blow a great relationship is to start to get consumed by jealousy for no reason at all. If you're jealous, that will only make your man annoyed and frustrated and will make him feel like you're not secure enough in the relationship to trust that he won't cheat on you. If you can't stand it when your man talks to or even mentions another girl, even if it's completely harmless, then you need to work on keeping your jealousy in check and on making your man feel secure.  If you can avoid gossiping or saying negative things about other girls in your orbit, your man will be impressed. Part of being in a healthy relationship means knowing that there are a lot of other appealing members of the opposite sex out there and recognizing that you won't pursue them. If you think your man can't be around a pretty girl without hitting on her, then you have a problem. If you don't like your man the way he is -- to a degree -- then why bother with him? It's okay to want your man to step it up a bit, whether it's by not showing up late to your dates or by taking less than three hours to return one of your calls, but it's not okay to try to change the way your man looks, dresses,...

TL;DR in English: Keep your relationship fresh. Don't get jealous. Don't try to change him. Give him space. Make sure you're happy.

Instead of yelling at the person or group that's getting on your nerves, make some small noise that will help them get the point that what they're doing isn't appreciated. If they're constantly chatting while you're looking for a book, try clearing your throat or coughing softly. Hopefully this will help quiet them down. Try not to shush them loudly in a way that would seem condescending. This might make them want to continue being loud because you tried to embarrass them. If someone is truly bothering you with their noise, just go up to them and kindly, in a calm voice, ask them to lower their voice. Sometimes just bringing it to their attention that they are being disruptive is all it will take to make them change their behavior. Try using one of these examples:  “I’m sorry to be a bother, but would you mind keeping it down a bit?” “Hi. I hate to be that person, but I have a big test tomorrow that I’m trying to study for and I’d really appreciate it if you could tone it down a bit. Thanks!” “Would you mind moving to a different location? This is a quiet work space. Thank you!” Most people understand that libraries are meant to be a quiet place. A meaningful glance in their direction should give them a hint that a lack of silence isn't appreciated in such an environment. Don’t glare at them or make a mean face. This will only make the situation worse. Try to be understanding if it's children that won't calm down. Infants and toddlers obviously don’t have the same kind of self-control adults do and it is very likely that their parents are just as frustrated about the situation as you are – and probably embarrassed by their child’s behavior too! If you must, ask the parents or caregivers to get the kids to calm down. Generally, don't try to talk to the kids directly. This will probably scare and creep them out or anger their parents since you not only scared their children, you also tried to discipline their kids.

Once you have assumed your posture in a chair or a traditional meditation pose, you should align your back and find a comfortable position. Your lower back should be slightly curved in and your upper back should be slightly curved out. You should have an open chest. Your neck should be very slightly curved in and your head should be level. Your body should be slightly relaxed while remaining upright.  Remember to relax your shoulders. Your arms and hands should feel loose. If you feel tension, you can do a shoulder shrug and then return to meditating. You should be relaxed but not so relaxed that you are falling asleep in your chair. Likewise, you want to be sitting with a straight back but avoid tensing up your back. Put your tongue just behind your front teeth on the roof of your mouth. This helps prevent your mouth from getting dry during meditation. With your eyes half open, look at the ground five or six feet in front of you. Your gaze should be at around a 45 degree angle. Settle your gaze on the floor or ground. You should have your eyes open but should avoid staring at whatever is on the ground. Simply leave your eyes open and leave them in one place, directed to the ground or floor in front of you.  You should not be looking at anything in front of you. If you find yourself directing your attention to something in front of you, remind yourself of the feeling of your breath. To avoid distraction during your meditation session, settle your gaze someplace that is not too stimulating. If there are people moving or electronic lights in front of you, it might be too distracting. If this is the case, find someplace different to meditate. Once you have relaxed in a comfortable position, you may notice that your body is breathing. Place your attention on the movement of your breath in and out of your body. In some meditation traditions, you have to breathe through your nose. If you are a mouth breather or have a hard time with this, it is fine to breathe through your mouth. You may notice that your mind is...

TL;DR in English: Sit in a relaxed position with a straight back. Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Set your gaze a few feet in front of you. Notice that you are breathing. Observe your mind. Come back to your breath.

To prevent further damage to the stained area, test the product on a hidden area of your floor before applying it to the stain. Select a spot beneath a coffee table or covered by a couch.  Spray the WD-40 directly onto the test spot. Allow it to sit on the hardwood for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the product with a clean, wet rag. Spray the test area with a stain remover to get rid of any greasy residue. Wipe up the spray with a damp sponge. Look at the test spot and determine if the product has removed the finish on your floor or left behind a stain. If the test spot is damaged, choose a different method of stain removal. Apply the WD-40 directly to the stain. Allow the product to sit for 3 to 5 minutes. You may also spray some WD-40 onto a clean cloth and apply it to the stained area. Run a clean cloth under the tap or dip it in a small bucket of fresh water. Wring out the rag. Remove the WD-40 from the surface. If the stain remains, re-apply the WD-40. Allow it to sit for 5 to 7 minutes before wiping the surface with a damp rag. Spray the treated area with a stain remover. This will remove any greasy residue left behind by the WD-40. Wipe the area with a damp sponge or cloth. Once the stain remover is cleaned up, run over the area with a dry cloth to pick up any remaining moisture.

Give your cat verbal cues during your training sessions.

Show the toy mouse to your cat. Toss the toy mouse. Encourage your cat to bring the toy mouse back to you. Toss the toy mouse again. Toss the toy further away. Keep your training sessions short.

This mask is runny and may drip down your face. To prevent yourself from getting too messy, consider laying down or sitting back in a chair with your head tilted back. You can also use this mask in the bathtub while you are taking a relaxing bath. The lemon in this mask may be a little drying for your skin. If you find that your face is a little dry, apply some moisturizer to your face.

TL;DR in English: Leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes. Consider following up with some moisturizer.
###
Begin your training session by holding the toy mouse in front of your cat. Stand a few feet back from her so that she cannot easily reach out and grab the toy. If you are training her during her playtime, she will likely already be attentive to you and the toy.  If she is keeping herself busy with something else, or is in a different room, you will probably need to call her to you. Reward her with a treat when she comes to you after being called. Toss the toy mouse two to three feet in front of you. It is important to start with small throwing distances when your cat is first learning the trick. You can increase the distance as your cat becomes more skilled with fetching the toy mouse.  An alternative to throwing the toy is to attaching it to a string. You can sling the stringed toy towards your cat, then pull it back when your cat has a hold of the toy.  Remove the toy from the string as your cat begins to understand the motion of catching the toy and bringing it back to you.  It may be helpful to give your cat verbal cues—'fetch' when you toss the toy mouse and 'good fetch' when she brings it back to you—during your training sessions. Your cat may not bring the toy mouse back to you the first time you throw it—she may not understand that you are teaching her how to fetch. If this happens, try enticing her with a treat in your hand to get her to walk to back to you with the toy.  Reward her with the treat and verbal praise when she brings it back to you. When your cat sees the treat, she may drop the toy before she walks back to you. In this case, do not give her a treat. Instead, walk to her, pick up the toy, and walk back to your original position. Wait to toss the toy mouse until your cat has come back to you. When you toss it again, reward her if she brings it back to you. Keep in mind that you may have to pick up the toy mouse yourself several times before your cat understands that she is supposed to bring it back to you.  Toss the toy in the same direction each time that you toss it. Your cat will...

Wash your laundry early or late at night if you want less of a wait. Look for an open laundry machine. Wait or come back later if all the machines are full. Fill the laundry machine so it's two-thirds of the way full. Add laundry detergent to the machine. Choose cold water if you don't want your clothes to shrink or fade. Pay and press the start button. Set a timer for when your laundry will be done. Remove your laundry from the machine promptly.

The milk the puppy's mother produces contains the exact combination of nutrients it needs to grow healthy and strong. It should make up the entire diet for the first four weeks after birth.  If you actually bred the litter and have the puppies and the mother dog, the introduction of “dog food” typically starts around one month of age.  If you try to wean the puppy too early, his health will be compromised. If possible, let your puppies watch their mother eating. Puppies like to copy and they will understand what to do much better by following her example. Puppy kibble provided three to four times per day will allow the puppies to start investigating and ingesting the new food. Soak the kibble in water or puppy formula. The puppies will start licking and eating the new food as they become more familiar with the taste and new texture.  The puppies will also walk through the food and make a mess. You will need to keep on top of keeping things clean. Make sure the new food is designed for puppies. If you are bringing home a new puppy, stick with the same brand your puppy was fed by the previous owner for a few weeks before deciding to change to a different food. Food changes should be done gradually over a week or two to prevent stomach upset and possible diarrhea. Add in small amounts (about 10%) of new food to the old diet until you reach 100% new food. Unless your veterinarian recommends an abrupt change in diet, take your time. It might be tempting to give your puppy enticing foods like bacon or ham from the table, but do not get into the habit of doing this. Table scraps will often make your puppy vomit or give him diarrhea. Giving your puppy table scraps may also lead to obesity and even pancreatitis.  Bear in mind that the more people food you give your puppy, the more he'll want, so it can interfere with training and even cause behavior problems. Consult your veterinarian about dog safe supplemental feeding. Low fat options include vegetables (green beans, carrots, broccoli, etc.) or tofu or skinless...

TL;DR in English: Let your puppies nurse for the first four weeks. Introduce small quantities of puppy food at four weeks of age. Be consistent with the type of food you give your puppy. Feed your puppy his special food and nothing else. Watch for the signs of low blood sugar in small breeds.

Those are times when other students will be sleeping, so the laundry room won’t be as busy. If you have an early class, wake up an hour or two early and try to get your laundry done then. Or you can wait to do your laundry late at night before you go to bed. If you see a machine that’s currently on or one that has someone’s clothes in it, don’t use it. Wait until there’s an empty machine available. If you’re doing more than one load, try to find several available machines that are all next to each other. That way you can do multiple loads at once. Look at the timers on the machines to see how long of a wait it will be. Keep in mind that if you leave, the machines might still be full when you come back later. You may have better luck getting a machine if you hang out in the laundry room until one is available. Don’t overfill it or your laundry won’t wash properly. Fill the machine with a load of your lights or darks. Wash your towels and bedding separately. If you have liquid detergent, look for a slot on top of the machine that says “detergent.” If there isn’t one, pour your detergent directly into the machine with your laundry. Refer to the lines on the inside of the cap to see how much detergent you should use. You'll need less liquid detergent for smaller loads. If you’re using a gel detergent pod, throw 1 pod directly into the machine with your clothes. There should be a dial or button on the machine you can use to select the water temperature setting. If you’re washing whites, towels, or bedding, you may want to use hot water. Hot water will clean your clothes better than cold water, but it can be more damaging. If you’re not sure, go with cold water. Cold water is less likely to damage or alter your clothes. There should be coin slots on the top or side of the washing machine if the machine takes quarters. If there aren’t, look for a slot to insert cash or swipe a card. Once you’ve paid, hit the start button so your clothes start to wash. That way you’ll know right when your laundry is ready.

Bring the clean diaper into position. Fasten the new diaper. Take the child off the changing surface and clean up.

Eating ice cream and binge-watching some television show on Netflix isn't just for girls who get dumped. If you want to be bummed and slop around the house for a while, do it. No shame. It's a necessary phase, sometimes. Don't let it go on for too long, or it just becomes whiny and depressing. Good rule of thumb? Let yourself grieve one day for each month you were together. If it takes longer, it takes longer, but let yourself get over her. Whether you've been dumped or broke it off mutually, stop talking with the girl. If you're stuck on someone, maintaining your distance is the key. Stop texting with her. Stop calling her. Stop talking to her on G-Chat. Just stop all forms of communication.  If you have to see this girl, in school or elsewhere, keep it cool. Make your interactions professional and brief. If she keeps bothering you, say something like, "I don't have anything to say to you." Unfriend her or block her posts on social networking sites. There's nothing to be gained from constantly checking your ex's page to see who she's been talking to. That's only going to make it worse. That jersey your girlfriend gave you? Get rid of it. The cute cards and notes she sent you? In the trash. There's little value in surrounding yourself with things that remind you of this person who hurt you. If you really like something that reminds you of your girlfriend, or you just don't want to get rid of it entirely, it's still a good idea to box it up and put it somewhere you can't see it. Give it to a friend to take, or shove it into a closet where you can't see it. Often, guys have a hard time talking about their feelings, especially with their male friends. If most of your conversations revolve around sports, music, or some other hobby, it's still good to just talk. Get together and talk about something to distract yourself, and bring up how you're feeling if it comes up.  Consider talking to your dad about it. While he might seem like a gruff dinosaur, he's also probably been there. Open up a little. It's also fine,...

Take the front half of the clean diaper by the side tabs and bring it up to your child’s waist. You’ll want to make sure that the sides are not too tight, and that the ruffle is facing out around the leg to prevent leaks (which can lead to chafing and diaper rash).  If your child is male, direct his penis towards his feet to prevent him from urinating over the diaper and onto himself. When your child is a newborn, position the diaper so that it doesn’t cover the umbilical cord stump. There are special diapers made for newborns with folds in this specific place. Before fastening the diaper, make sure their legs are spread and there’s as much space as possible. Doing this will avoid bunching in advance. Use the tabs on both halves and stick them together to fasten the new diaper. Again, make sure the fit is such that it’s not too tight but isn’t about to fall off. Check to see if there’s any bunching before replacing their clothing. Once they’ve got their clothing back on, check to see if they look comfortable as one last check of the diaper’s fit. Make sure their mobility is as it should be. Once the new diaper is secured, move your child from the changing surface to a safe area where they can be left unattended, such as their playpen. Then return to your changing area to clean up whatever has been left behind. If you can, disinfect the changing surface after every use. Wash your hands and the child’s hands with soap and water immediately afterward to rid yourselves of any lingering mess or associated bacteria.

If you want to start a band, consider picking up up one of the following traditional rock instruments:   Guitar. To complete your transition from young Padawan to Jedi Knight, pick up the rock axe of stardom. Nothing is more wrapped-up in the style and soul of rock and roll than the electric guitar. Only one question remains: Stratocaster or Les Paul?  Bass. A few notable exceptions aside, a band without a bass guitar is like a meal without a plate. It just helps everything stay together. Providing a bottom end and a rhythmic foundation for the tunes, picking up bass will have you in high-demand as a player.  Drums. The drummer is the wild one behind the kit, slapping the skins and keeping everyone in time. Though it's one of the most satisfying instruments to play, drummers must have a natural sense of rhythm and internal time to be good. Are you up to the challenge? .

Take a walk around the house and look for parts of the siding that are especially dirty or moldy. Allocate more time for scrubbing these parts of your siding. Start by applying the cleaning solution to the affected area with the wet cloth. Then, you can scrub the area with a bristle brush or wire brush until it looks clean. If you need to scrub areas that are very high up, you can use an outdoor cleaning wand extension to your garden hose.  If you don’t own a cleaning wand, you can attach a scrub brush to a broom stick or hockey stick. Attach the brush to the broom stick with a roll of duck-tape. If you don’t own a cleaning wand, you can also use a ladder. Follow the safety recommendations for your ladder and always have someone spotting you. Avoid using a ladder with a hose or hose attachments, since this can be very dangerous. If you have areas of your siding that are especially dirty or look moldy, you can use a wire brush.  Use a wire brush to clean tough mildew and stains on fiber cement siding.  Wear a mask while scrubbing away mold. After you have scrubbed off the dirt, grease, oil, and mold, you will want to remove the soap from the siding. You could spray down the freshly cleaned area with a garden hose or you could use a fresh sponge and a bucket of clean water.

Turmeric is an Indian spice that has been used to lighten skin for many centuries. Mix turmeric powder with just enough olive oil to make a thick paste. Spread the turmeric paste in a thin layer over your skin. After about15- 20 minutes, rinse it away with warm water.  Turmeric contains curcumin, which acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and may help brighten your complexion.  It’s a good idea to wear old clothes when you make this paste, because the turmeric may stain your clothing. It may also temporarily stain your skin yellow, but this should wash away quickly. You can repeat this treatment once a day as often as you like. Cut a potato into slices, then sprinkle a little water over each slice. Rub the potato over your skin if you want all-over lightening, or place it on your skin and leave it there if you want to lighten a specific area, like an age spot. Either way, rinse your skin with warm water after about 10 minutes.  The starch and sugar in the potato will help exfoliate your skin, and the vitamin C, potassium, zinc, and other nutrients will help rejuvenate your skin, which can help it look lighter. Potatoes are mild enough that you can use them to lighten your skin every day. If you don’t have a potato on hand, try other fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C, like tomato, cucumber, or blended papaya. Squeeze about 1 US tbsp (15 mL) into a bowl, then stir in 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of water. Dip a cotton ball into the mixture and dab it onto the skin you want to lighten. After about 20 minutes, gently rinse it away with warm water, then pat your skin dry with a soft towel and apply a facial moisturizer.  Repeat three times a week for the best results. Lemon juice acts as a natural exfoliant, taking off the surface layer of the skin to expose the lighter skin underneath. The citric acid in lemon juice also creates a light bleaching effect (just like it does when you put it in your hair). Lemon juice can dry out or irritate some people’s skin, and it can sometimes cause sensitivity to sunlight....

An undertone is the basic tone of your skin underneath the surface layer, which isn’t affected by things like tanning, acne, and surface discoloration. Your undertone will help you choose the best shades for makeup, clothes, and jewelry, because undertones are associated with certain colors, which can be better matched with some colors over others.  People with cool undertones are associated with bluish, reddish, and pinkish skin tones.  People with warm undertones are associated with golden, yellowish, and peachy skin tones. People with neutral undertones can have a combination of cool and warm skin tones. There are a few indicators that will tell you what your undertone is, such as your hair color, how your skin reacts to the sun, the color of your veins, and the color of your hair.   People with cool undertones: look best in silver jewelry, burn easily in the sun, have blue veins at the wrist, and usually have hair that’s blond (ash or sandy), brown (ash or dark), blue-black, auburn, snowy, or silver-gray.  People with warm undertones: look best in gold jewelry, will bronze in the sun, have green veins at the wrist, and often have hair that’s blond (golden, strawberry, or honey), brown (golden or caramel), brown-black, red (copper or wine), or creamy white.   People with neutral undertones: look good in both types of jewelry, have blue-green veins at the wrist, and tend to have hair that’s blond, brown, red, white, or gray. Once you know your undertone, you can select colors that will best complement your skin. Most people with pale or fair skin tend to have cool undertones, which means you should look for cosmetics (and clothing) in sea shades, soft purples, taupes and grayish beiges, metallics, pinks, and berry reds. It’s best to avoid oranges, orange-reds, and yellows.   For pale people with warm undertones, try earthy reds, yellows, greens, browns, peaches, corals, and violet-reds. If you are pale but have a neutral undertone, you can wear any color, but you may look best in muted berry colors, such as...

TL;DR in English: Know what an undertone means. Figure out what your undertone is. Choose appropriate colors. Know what colors to avoid.

Make sure you actually listen to metal on a daily basis. Listening to a few metal songs at a friend's house or on a game doesn't make you a metalhead. If you use a software to play music, you can easily check what you’ve listened to by date and how many times you've listened to a song. You should have at least a couple tracks from a metal band in your recently played playlist. There are “godfathers” of metal that you should know, if you consider yourself a metalhead. There are also several bands that fall on the line of metal and classic rock. The reality of the situation is that genres are malleable and shouldn’t be taken as a strict label. Some of the classic rock/metal bands are Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Van Halen, and Iron Maiden. Other classic metal bands are:  Metallica Megadeth Slayer Death Judas Priest Pantera Make sure you know a few bands of every subgenre of metal. Just a few major metal subgenres are thrash metal, death metal, black metal, power metal and speed metal. Some metalheads consider people who listen metalcore and claim to be metalheads are posers. Metalcore is a fusion genre of extreme metal and hardcore punk; with the latter genre being what stirs away many metal purists from engaging with metalcore.     Metalcore includes bands like Trivium, Parkway Drive, Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine, Poison The Well and Motionless In White. A list of a few bands and their respective subgenres are in the tips section. Know random trivia about bands like Motorhead, Metallica, Pantera, Death, Iron Maiden, Children of Bodom, and any other band you like. Statements like "Slipknot Sucks!" or "Metallica is the only good metal band" are typical statements from a metalhead poser. If you only like one band, you don't like metal thus you're not qualified to be a "Metalhead" but rather, you are a  "Bandhead".  However, there is one exception to this rule. If a person likes Metallica and has only listened to Metallica, then he or she can still be considered a genuine...

Prior to filing for lawful permanent resident status, you may want to meet with a U.S. Immigration Attorney. They can not only help make sure you are completely eligible, they can also help you prepare your forms and documents and assist with any complications that may arise. You can check U.S. Justice Department's List of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers to see if there are attorneys or legal resources in your area to help you prepare for your immigration filings free of charge. If someone, such as a relative or your employer, is sponsoring your immigration, they will need to file an immigrant petition for you. If you qualify to file for yourself, you need to file your petition. The exact petition and documentation you need will depend on how you qualify for lawful permanent resident status. All forms are available from the USCIS website.  If you are unsure what forms you need, talk to your immigration attorney or an immigration services office in your area. You may also be able to receive advice over-the-phone if you cannot get to an office. If you already have an approved immigrant petition and visa, you may just need to file the I-485 application form.

If you were not able to find a store-bought pad, that's okay. You probably have many things at home that can be used. You will want something thick and absorbent, something soft, and something to keep the pad in place.  You can use absorbent materials such as:  Gauze, cotton, other bandages (look in a first aid kit), clean worn-out clothes, and/or heavy-duty paper towels. Soft fabric materials: worn-out but clean clothes, such as a t-shirt or sock. Toilet paper or gauze can be used to keep the pad in place. Form the material you have chosen, turn it into a shape that will fit into your underwear (a rectangle or oval). Then, take your soft fabric and wrap it around your pad. Soft fabric will make your makeshift pad a little more comfortable.</ref>http://jezebel.com/5812246/diy-pad-crisis</ref> Take the makeshift pad and situate it just like you would with a store-bought pad. Use toilet paper or gauze to wrap around the pad and the crotch of your underwear, keeping it in place. Wrap it a few times to make sure it stays put. If your period is very light, or if you just want to buy some time, you can use a bit of toilet paper. Simply fold a long piece of toilet paper into a rectangle and place it in your underwear. You will want to check your pad regularly to be sure you are not leaking or bleeding through. A good rule of thumb is to check your pad every 45 minutes to an hour.

Get an object with which to spear the fish. Use twine, shoelaces, or other string to attach the sharp object to a stick or pole. Get used to light refraction. Find a fish in a relatively contained area. Aim and stab quickly.

Having a written record of the negative effects of alcohol and tobacco will serve as a constant reminder of why you have chosen to quit. Keep it in a place you can reference it easily.  Reflect on any decreased physical or mental health as a result of tobacco and alcohol. Have you gained weight or decreased fitness as a result of using? Do you become angry without alcohol, or anxious without tobacco? Many people choose to quit addictions because they feel sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, and engaging the addiction is more draining than the positive effects of the substance.  Consider how tobacco and alcohol interfere with your relationships and social life. Think of financial costs alcohol and tobacco cost you. Use a notebook to record the times throughout the day you smoke or drink alcohol. Record what feelings or situations preceded using alcohol and tobacco. Avoid situations that may trigger you in the future.  A trigger could be getting into an argument with your family or something not going well at work. Because alcohol and nicotine are highly correlated substances, one can trigger the other. For example, if you begin drinking, you may want to have a cigarette. Be clear on whether you want to stop altogether or slowly taper your use. While some may want to quit for social or health reasons, others may want to quit due to medical reasons or because they have an addiction. Reflect on your reasons and then choose your goals. If you are an alcoholic, it is best to cut alcohol out altogether and not taper it down.  People who smoke have a much harder time quitting alcohol and also tend to relapse more than people who do not smoke. Set goals that include concurrently quitting both nicotine and alcohol together. Write down a date for each goal to solidify the commitment.

TL;DR in English: Write down how alcohol and tobacco affect you. Find your triggers. Set goals.

Useful improvised items include: Pocket knives     Scrap metal, glass or hard plastic     Scissor blades    Alternately, sharpen the stick itself.

Even simple homemade gifts can often mean even more than a gift you purchased in a store. You can make them more personalized and it shows a lot of additional effort on your part to make something. If “it’s the thought that counts” is indeed true, then the thought and effort you put into your homemade gift will warm your significant other’s heart.  For instance, if you have never cooked for the person before, give it a try. Even if your risotto turns out better suited as brick mortar, you can laugh about it over a pizza later on. Once more, listen and learn. What does your partner like? Make something special that shows you’ve been paying attention. Is it too old-fashioned to give your class ring or letterman jacket to your high school sweetheart? Maybe, maybe not. But giving something that has special meaning to you lets the other person know that you care and that you want things to continue for the foreseeable future.  You know that old, faded, but ridiculously comfortable sweatshirt that your significant other likes to borrow when you’re watching TV? Why not make a gift of it? Be realistic, of course. A one month anniversary doesn’t generally warrant giving away a family heirloom like your grandmother’s ring. Why not make your gift something that will help both of you be better people and improve the lives of others? Seek out volunteer opportunities in your community. Help clean up a playground. Spend time with seniors or shelter pets. Collect food for the needy. This gift will provide rewards for both of you and many others. Think about a cause or issue that your partner is very interested in or concerned about. Try to find a way that you can spend quality time together supporting that cause.

TL;DR in English: Make a gift instead of buying one. Give something with personal or sentimental value. Spend time together helping others.

This is the most costly, but also the most proficient way to learn music. A good instructor will not only have a proven track record of helping beginners learn music but also be able to teach you the basics correctly. Using an instructor helps you avoid bad habits that can take a long time to unlearn.  Review sight reading, fingering, and playing with an instructor. Ask the instructor to review where the notes are located on the staff and the piano. Because your goal is to teach yourself how to play, then you probably won't be visiting an instructor frequently. Go to an instructor once a month just to do a check-up on your progress or to ask questions about anything that is puzzling you. For instance, you might have questions about if you're playing a song in the correct tempo. Once again, you will need to practice a great deal in order to learn how to play. Many people that visit piano teachers practice several times a week. So, practice 2 to 3 times a week or every day if you like. Plan on practicing playing for at least 30 minutes 2 times a week, but you also will need to take time out to review your notes and sight reading abilities. You don't need a keyboard or a piano to practice reviewing your notes..

Acid-free cardstock is a staple of scrapbooking. It is a stiff, heavy paper that can withstand the weight of embellishments, photos, and memorabilia. These characteristics make it ideal to use as a background for your album’s pages. Cardstock is available in every imaginable solid color, texture, and finish. When you select your cardstock, pick out colors, textures, and finishes that complement your scrapbook’s color story—the palette of colors you choose to use in the album.  You may also use cardstock to mat photos, frame pictures, and create embellishments. Finishes include: iridescent, glossy, matte, and glitter.  80 pounds is the most popular cardstock weight. It is similar in thickness to a business card. Scrapbookers rely on acid-free patterned paper to help them tell their narrative, express their theme, and unite their album. The patterns you select should reflect your theme and align with your color story. This lightweight paper is perfect for accents and use as a background.  You may choose patterns that clearly expresses your theme—palm trees for tropical vacations or ballerinas for a dance recital—or you can pick paper with an abstract or geometrical pattern that will work for a variety of pages within your album. If you struggle to mix and match patterns and colors, you can purchase sets of printed paper. In addition to using solid and patterned paper, scrapbookers also incorporate transparent sheets of acetate paper into their albums. Transparency paper may be completely see through or contain a printed pattern. You may use this paper as an overlay or for a background. In an effort to keep your album cohesive, the transparency paper you purchase should match the cardstock and patterned paper you select for your project. Do not purchase transparency paper that is unrelated to your theme and/or color palette. Scrapbooking aisles provide consumers with a myriad of options, but don't allow the seemingly endless options to overwhelm you. If you are struggling to mix and match patterns, colors, and...

TL;DR in English: Select plain cardstock paper that supports your color story. Purchase patterned paper that supports your theme. Experiment with transparency paper. Purchase a curated paper collection.

Smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco harms the inner lining of your mouth, and can also cause cancer and other health problems. If you are undergoing chemotherapy, smoking is very likely to produce and mouth sores and make them far more painful and prone to infection.   Quitting tobacco can be very difficult, so talk to your doctor about a plan to help you quit. Your doctor can help provide you with things like the nicotine patch to slowly wean you off cigarettes. You should also ask friends and family members for support as you try to quit smoking. If you know anyone who smokes, ask that they not do so in front of you. Some foods can make mouth sores worse. Sharp foods, or very acidic foods, should be avoided if you want your mouth sores to heal properly.  Acidic and spicy foods tend to irritate the mouth, so stay away from things like citrus fruits and salsas. Sharp foods, and very crunchy foods, should also be avoided. Stay away from things like chips, pretzels, and crackers. Alcohol can irritate your mouth sores and make your symptoms more painful. Do not drink alcohol until your mouth sores are healed. There may be other risk factors associated with drinking alcohol when on chemo, so make sure to talk to your doctor about alcohol consumption. As with smoking, ask family members and friends for support when tapering off alcohol. Request that people not drink in front of you.

Leave meats and bones out. Sprinkle sugar where you want roaches. Set out fruit rinds, peels, and cores. Use grease cans to attract roaches.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the Emtek door hardware from the door. You don't need to remove the internal latch (that thing that keeps the door shut). Only remove the two screws holding the lever to the sides of the doors. Use an Allen Wrench to loosen the Emtek knob or lever's turn post. You need to do this until you can pull the turn post (that brass post with a spring wrapped around it) out of the lever. If you don't have an Allen Wrench that fits your Emtek hardware, you can order one online. Now that you've loosened the Emtek lever or knob with the Allen Wrench, you can remove the turn post and the spring from the lever. You should now be able to see the inner mechanical parts that keep your Emtek lever stiff. If your entry set is sagging, you should still see these parts for the inside lever. If your hardware doesn't look like this, stop now. You might be using a type of Emtek product that this fix-it guide will not show you how to correct. Once you loosen it up, you should be able to pull it out with your finger. This part keeps the torsion spring and keyed washer pressed together. After removing the clip, remove the washer underneath it. (This is not the keyed washer that might be broken.) Shown here is one of the top offenders for a saggy Emtek lever or loose knob. The green arrows point out the two places in the spring that usually break. If you're still not sure if your torsion spring is broken, it will not be sitting tightly in place. Take it out and examine it. The picture below shows an Emtek lever with a new spring. If yours is broken, you need to buy one, but it's important that you keep reading and make sure that your keyed washer is not also broken. We still need to check the keyed washer. Pry out the torsion spring with a screwdriver. If it's stiff and hard to pry out, that's a good thing. That means that the spring is still strong and does not need replacement. This is the piece that the torsion spring pushes against. Look at the picture to see where this washer may be broken. Many...

TL;DR in English: Remove the hardware from the door. Loosen the knob or lever with an Allen Wrench. Remove the turn post. Observe the inner mechanical parts. Use a screwdriver to remove the top clip. Remove the top washer. Look for breaks in the torsion spring. Remove the torsion spring. Look for breaks in the keyed washer. Remove the keyed washer if broken. Contact the manufacturer if the handle still sags.

That rotisserie chicken carcass left over from dinner last night makes perfect roach bait. Leave out scraps of meat or bones that haven’t been picked clean in the areas where you want to attract roaches.  Remember that meat will rot, which will produce both strong smells and bacteria. Do not place it in areas where pets or children will be able to access it, and keep it out of spaces where the odor may become offensive. Place scraps in isolated areas such as cabinets, garages, or other spaces where it will be easy to round up your roaches. Cockroaches are particularly attracted to sugars and starches. Sprinkling some sugar around is a fast and easy way to get roaches where you want them.  A trail of sugar can be particularly helpful when you’re looking to bring roaches through an extended path, such as along the length of a garden or lawn. If you are looking to keep a roach problem under control, throw away any packages of sugar where you’ve found roaches. Be sure to seal any new packages in airtight containers. Fruits are a natural source of sugar, and can be just as helpful in attracting roaches as the kitchen staple. Use fruit scraps such as rinds, peels, cores, and other discarded bits to attract roaches. If you are looking to bring roaches into your yard or another outdoor space, you can bury fruit scraps just below the topsoil. This will attract roaches but keep decaying matter hidden from pets, children, and neighbors. The can you fill with your extra bacon grease and frying oil is fantastic roach food. Set out open grease cans in the area where you want roaches. As a bonus, the cans can double as a temporary housing environment for your insects.

Listen to uplifting music. Avoid jealousy or envy. Be grateful and/or thankful. Contemplate the source of your negative energy.

When you find yourself talking out loud, become aware and acknowledge that you are doing so. You could keep track by tallying the number of times a day you catch yourself talking out loud. Becoming aware of behavior is the first step to reducing it. Try to keep the conversation in your head. As soon as you find you are talking to yourself out loud, try moving the conversation inside your head, to your internal world.  You can even press your teeth down on your lips so you cannot open your mouth. This will help, but keep in mind that it may also look odd to those around you! Try chewing gum too keep your mouth occupied and not able to talk.  If it's too challenging to just start thinking rather than talking, try mouthing the words. This way, the conversation can continue on but won’t be audible to others. Only allow yourself to do it while at home alone or in the car, for example. Be careful with this step, because once you allow yourself to talk out loud, you might start talking to yourself at other times too. Have rules to limit your talking, and if you've followed them for a week, do something to reward yourself, such as watching a movie or allowing yourself a sweet snack. Over time, try to reduce the number of situations in which you allow yourself to talk out loud until you no longer do it at all. Buy a journal for those moments when you find you start talking to yourself. In this way, you can have a written, rather than oral, dialogue with yourself. One way to do this is by writing down your thought then providing a response or answer.  For example, let's say you went on a date but haven't heard from the guy yet. This is one dialogue that you might be tempted to say out loud to yourself, but that you can also write down: "Why hasn’t he called me? Maybe he is busy or maybe he doesn’t like you. Why would you think he doesn’t like you? Maybe he is just really busy with school or maybe you're just not a good match for each other because you don't have the same interests or priorities. Well, maybe, but I...

TL;DR in English: Acknowledge the behavior. Think more. Allow self-talk only in certain situations. Write down your self-talk. Make conversations with people. Keep busy.

Listening to uplifting music is one sure-fire way to help free yourself of negative energy. Positive and uplifting music can help you get into a good frame of mind and energize you for any task or obstacle that you may need to face. Depending on your preferences, consider:  Music with positive lyrical messages. Music with a positive and upbeat rhythm. Music that gets you energized. One way to clear negative energy and promote positivity is to avoid jealousy or envy of others. Jealousy and envy are emotions that simply reinforce a negative outlook and lead us to ignore all of the wonderful things we have going on in our lives.  Be happy for what other people have, even if you don’t have the same. Wish others the best in achieving their goals. Avoid trying to emulate or compete with your friends and neighbors. Everyone is different and has different means, preferences, and goals. Often, people accumulate negative energy by being negative and unhappy about their place or position in life. One way to avoid this is to be grateful and/or thankful for what you do have.  Focus on the great things you have going on in your life. This could include your family, your friends, your job, or the place where you live. Realize that there are a lot of people who are much worse off than you. Understand that life is full of ups and downs, and you need to enjoy the ups. When trying to free yourself of negative energy, you should think about the source of your negative energy. Identifying the source of your energy may give you better insight into cleansing yourself of it.  Make a list of things that are bothering you or causing you anxiety. Think about bad things you’ve done in the past that might have attracted negative energy to you. Consider rectifying them. Examine your list and think about whether any of the listed items are making you unhappy. Commit yourself to solving whatever problem is causing you anxiety. Do some serious self-reflection to see if negativity or your actions or habits constantly draw negative energy to...

Make sure you're on her mind as she's getting ready for bed.

Check in with her a bit when you're apart. Be the last thing she thinks about at night. Give her something that reminds her of you. Write her a sweet note. Ask her questions to show an interest in her life. Treat her well when you're together. Leave your conversations on a good note.

If you've made your own jerky, let it cool for several hours so it's completely dry. If you see grease on the jerky, blot it with paper towels. Removing the moisture and fat helps the jerky last longer when you store it. If you're storing store-bought jerky, you can skip directly to storing the jerky at room temperature or chilling it. You can purchase food-grade oxygen absorbers from some grocery stores or online. Place 1 or 2 of them in each bag or container of jerky to extend the shelf life of the jerky. Then, press the air out of the bag and seal it or put the lid on your storage container. The oxygen absorber will absorb the oxygen, which prevents bacteria from growing on the jerky. Oxygen absorbers can remove a lot of oxygen from the bag, but a vacuum sealing machine removes almost all of it. Put the jerky into the bags that came with your machine and lock them into the machine. Turn it on so the machine sucks out all of the oxygen and shrinks the bag around the jerky. Consider vacuum-sealing bags with different amounts of jerky so you can grab some bags for snacks and keep others for long-term storage.

TL;DR in English: Dry the jerky at room temperature. Add oxygen absorbers to your bag or jar to extend the jerky’s shelf life. Vacuum seal the package for the most long-lasting jerky.

If you want the girl to miss you when you're not together, then you have to remind her of your presence from time to time. Send her a text to say hi or to see how her day is going, or give her a quick call to tell her about what you've been up to. You can also send her an email from work or shoot her a quick text when you're away with your friend for the weekend. Make sure you talk to her just enough that she doesn't forget about you, but that she also doesn't feel smothered by you, either.  If you're apart, make sure you're not always the one getting in touch first. You can call or text her from time to time, but you shouldn't make her take you for granted and feel like you'll always call even if she doesn't. If you know she has something important coming up, such as a job interview or a volleyball game, then check in with her to wish her luck. If it just happened, check in to see how it went. This will show her that you care and that you are paying attention, even if you're not always around. One trick to getting the girl to miss you is to make sure you're on her mind as she's getting ready for bed. You can send her a sweet text or plan your phone calls so you talk to her later in the evening, so she thinks of you as she goes to bed and maybe even dreams about you. She also may wake up thinking about the great conversation you had—and will miss you even more as a result.  Talking to her before she gets ready for bed will give you a better chance of really capturing her attention. She'll be winding down and will be able to focus on you more easily instead of talking to you while having a million other things going on at the same time. Of course, make sure it's okay for her to talk on the phone late at night—you don't want her to get in trouble with her parents. Another way to make sure that the girl misses you is to give her something that makes it so you're never far from her mind. It can be a necklace you gave her for her birthday, a letter you wrote to her, a sweatshirt that smells like you that you let...

Ask your doctor for prescription pain medication. Get steroid injections. Discuss antidepressants and anti-seizure medication with your doctor. Look for a surgeon with experience in spinal surgery. Find out the risks of surgery. Get a laminectomy or a laminotomy to ease the pressure on your spinal nerves. Consider a spinal fusion to stabilize your spine. Recover for several months to 1 year after surgery.

Brown rice is probably the most common and well known nutritious types of rice. It's a 100% whole grain and has a whole host of nutrients and health benefits, including potentially lowering cholesterol levels, associated with it. If you're looking for a nutritious rice, try this chewy and nutty version.  Brown rice is actually the same grain as white rice, just less processed. More of the kernel is removed to make white rice, which can cause the loss of nutritional value including around 90% of the vitamin B6, 50% of the manganese and phosphorus, more than half the iron, and all dietary fiber and essential fatty acids. Each one of these parts has it's own set of nutrients. Brown rice is considered a fairly nutrient dense food. For only 1 cup, its about 200 calories total. In addition, per cup, brown rice has 4 g of fiber, 24 g of protein and 88% of your daily needs for manganese. It's also high in phosphorus, selenium, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin and Vitamin B6. Another extremely nutritious rice to consider is wild rice. Although technically not an actual rice per say (it's a water grass seed), wild rice has even more nutrients and antioxidants than your more commonly found brown rice.  Wild rice was originally grown and farmed in the United States by Native Americans. Although this is a grass seed, wild rice is still considered a 100% whole grain. Wild rice has fewer calories than brown rice - about 160 calories per cup compared to 200 calories - and also contains 3 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein.  This grain also contains high amounts of folate, zinc, copper, manganese and choline. Studies have shown that consumption of wild rice may help lower unhealthy triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Black rice or forbidden rice is a much more unique and exotic form of rice. It's nice black color is beautiful to look at but also is the source of a variety of antioxidants and vitamins.  What makes black rice black in color are antioxidants called anthocyanins (the same ones found in blueberries and...

TL;DR in English: Try brown rice. Cook up wild rice. Look for black rice. Try sprouted rice. Buy Bhutanese red rice.

Your doctor can prescribe medication, such as high-dose NSAIDS or opioids, for short-term pain relief. Do not use opioids long-term, as they can be addicting. Follow your doctor’s instructions on dosage and never take more than the recommended amount.  Your doctor can tell you how long you can take opioids to treat your spinal condition. They may gradually reduce your dosage over time, depending on how you are feeling. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories can help manage day-to-day pain. Discuss which medication is right for your condition with your doctor. Due to certain risk factors, not everyone is a candidate for pain medication. Your doctor can give you steroid injections in your spine to help reduce irritation and swelling. They will inject spots on your spine that are being pinched due to your spinal stenosis. These injections can be done in your doctor’s office and provide temporary pain relief. Over time, steroid injections can weaken your bones and connective tissue. They should only be given a few times a year at most. Chronic pain caused by your spinal condition can be treated with nightly doses of antidepressants like amitriptyline. Your doctor may also prescribe anti-seizure drugs like gabapentin and pregabalin to reduce your pain.  Always follow your doctor’s instructions on dosage. Do not exceed the recommended amount. This medication can be addicting so you should only use it as a temporary solution for managing your pain. Your doctor will outline how long you can be on these medications and will reduce your dosage over time. Surgery for spinal stenosis is usually done if other options are not working or your condition has become severe. Ask your primary care doctor for recommendations on a surgeon. Make sure you are have a consultation with the surgeon before the surgery so you are aware of your options. You should feel you can trust the surgeon and their team, as spinal surgery can be very invasive. Most spinal surgeries result in fewer complications when they are performed by a skilled,...

Invite a discussion (both during and after the initial talk) about what your children are thinking and feeling in response to the news. Keep in mind that this will not be one single conversation, but rather an ongoing discussion. You might say to one child, “You’ve been very quiet over the past few days. I can imagine that this is all very confusing. I want you to know that you can talk about what you’re feeling. I’m here to listen.” Although you might approach the initial conversation as a unified front, it’s easy to drop your guard and start pulling the children into conflict. Avoid this by setting clear boundaries with your spouse. Agree to not discuss one another with the children, or question what’s happening in the other’s household. Keep contact to a minimal when dropping off and picking up. Resist the urge to send messages through the kids. Communicate through written messages like an email or a text message. The reality of a separation can be a lot to handle as a child. Try your best to maintain some semblance of normalcy by keeping to the kid’s usual routines as much as possible. Try to follow the same homework and bedtime schedule across households. And, set the same (or similar) limits and guidelines. . Coping with a separation can be hard for all involved. It may be wise to seek the support and guidance of a marriage and family therapist during this time. Such a professional can offer emotional support to the parents and the children. They can also offer direction about how to navigate your new reality. Don't be afraid to ask your therapist any questions you may have. They can also give you feedback on your plans for custody, visitation, and life after separation.

TL;DR in English: Encourage them to talk about their feelings. Keep them out of the marital squabbles. Maintain their schedule.  Consider family therapy

Choose a durable fabric, such as cotton, linen, canvas, or jersey. Use a tailor's chalk or pen and a ruler to draw a 10 by 20 in (25 by 51 cm) rectangle on the back of the fabric. Cut the fabric out with fabric scissors.  The fabric can be solid colored or it can have a print on it. This pattern already includes seam allowances, so you don't need to add more. You can make a bigger/smaller bag if you want to, but keep the proportions the same. Make it twice as long as it is wide. Choose a piece of ribbon or string that is no more than 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) wide. Measure out 20 inches (51 cm), then cut it. This will make the drawstring that will open and close your bag.  Match the color to your bag, or use a contrasting color. For example, if you have a blue canvas bag, a thin, white rope would look nice. If your ribbon or string is made from polyester, singe the cut ends with a flame to prevent unraveling. If your ribbon or string is not made from polyester, seal the cut ends with fabric glue or fray-check. Let the ends dry before moving on.
