If the psychotic individual is not violent,  talk to them in a normal voice.  It is best to give 5 times the amount of space, maintain an open posture, and avoid facing the person squarely, which could appear threatening. Try to comfort them, if they experience or hallucinate something unpleasant. The conversation should be simple; individuals going through a psychotic episode may find communication or speech difficult.  Ask them questions, and if their mind seem to be drifting, try to grab their attention. Make sure to reassure them and let them know that you are there for them. Although you want to avoid blaming or criticizing the psychotic individual, you should also avoid playing into their psychoses. This will only worsen the situation and make the individual’s break with reality more difficult to come back from. However, try not to argue with them or engage in too much discussion with them.   An individual going through a psychotic episode may not realize that what they’re experiencing is unreal or the way they’re acting is abnormal. There's also a small chance that one or more of the things they've noticed are actually real (e.g. they noticed a dog behind a bush that you didn't see), so you don't want to assume right away that something is hallucinated if it's unclear. Instead of saying “Nothing that you’re describing is real; you’re acting crazy and making this up!”, try “I don't see/hear/smell/feel that.” Instead of, “I hear the same voices too,” try saying “I don't hear those voices, but I can tell they are bothering you.” Empathize and validate their feelings. Psychosis can be a frightening and confusing thing to experience. The person may not understand how to handle it. Keep in mind that they can't “snap out of it,” nor is it their fault that this is happening to them. Let the person know that you take them seriously and support them. Here are some examples of helpful things to say:   “I can’t imagine what you are going through, but I’m happy to listen.” “Tell me what you’re experiencing, and I...

TL;DR in English: Hold a calm conversation. Make sure you do not play into the person’s hallucinations. Show understanding. Get them to a doctor. Seek help yourself if you need it.

Purchase a well-draining soil mix and a large pot with holes in the bottom from a plant nursery. Fill the pot with the soil to about halfway full—you will fill it the rest of the way when you plant the onion cutting.  You can also plant your onion bottom outside if your garden has well-draining soil. You can test to see if soil is well-draining by digging a 12 in (30 cm) hole in the soil and filling it with water. If the water drains in 5-15 minutes, the soil is well-draining. When the onion cutting grows white roots from the bottom, position it in the center of the soil. Fill the rest of the pot with soil over the onion until 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) from the top of the pot.  Depending on your preference, you can keep the onion cutting indoors or outdoors in sunny weather. If you plant the whole cut bottom as one piece, you may get more than one new onion but they will likely be crowded together and small.  The number of plants a single onion can grow will vary from 1-6, the onion pictured above can be divided into two.  To get multiple full size new onions from a single onion bottom, use a sharp knife to divide the onion bottom, leaving a portion of the roots on each section, as well as the leaves if it has started sprouting. Watering the onion cutting helps it adapt to its new environment and grow roots faster. Give your onion enough water that the soil is damp to the touch, but not soaking wet. Onions thrive in soil with a high nitrogen content. Spray nitrogen fertilizer directly into the soil and mix it with your hands to give your onion the nutrients it needs to grow.  You can buy nitrogen fertilizer from most garden stores or nurseries. Check the label to determine how much fertilizer to spray into the soil.

Promote your product on social media. Get funding and spread the word using crowd-funding websites. Ask influencers to try and review your product. Contact relevant news outlets about doing a story on your product.

A curious mind seeks to be educated. By asking questions, you can find out a lot of things that many people don't know and won't ever know.  There is no limit to how many questions you can ask, or should ask. Be aware that some people are annoyed by questions. In fact, the less a person knows, and the less patient a person, the more a question will bug that person. That in itself tells you a great deal. Try to expand your mind by learning beyond your comfort zone and seeing how other people think, perceive and understand things.  If you only ever see rom-coms, go and see a documentary or an action film instead. If you only ever read comics, try a novel instead. If you only ever see car rallies, go and see a museum exhibition instead. Curiosity is about pushing yourself beyond what you're used to. There will be times when you feel really uncomfortable, out of your depth and perhaps even upset when trying to learn new things. This can happen especially where you feel dumb, unlearned or when your beliefs and values are challenged. These are the very times when you should keep pushing yourself to learn and to become wiser about whatever it is you've been avoiding.

TL;DR in English: Be curious. Read, watch and see things that you don't know anything about. Challenge yourself.

This is an easy, free way to get the word out about your new product. Use your company’s social media accounts to share the information with you customers. You could even begin grabbing their attention with a teaser post, such as hinting at an exciting new product or promotion. These websites allow you to tell lots of people about your product while also offering customers the opportunity to participate in its creation. If you’re still developing your product, this can be a great way to get support and spread the word about your product at the same time. For example, if you’re working on a new video game, you might create a Kickstarter to share a trailer or demo of gameplay. You could offer to include people’s names in credits or even name a character after them for different levels of financial support. Influencers are well known members of an industry who people trust, such as hairstylists who have a strong social media presence and review hair products. Identify influencers who might be able to spread the word about your product and make an impact on its reception. Contact 2-3 influencers via email to try out your product and review it.  For example, if you’re developing a fitness app, you might ask a popular fitness influencer to try the app and review it for you. Keep in mind that you may have to pay an influencer to review a product. This is part of how they make their money. Depending on the type of product you’re launching, contacting news outlets may also help to get the word out. This can be effective whether you’re a local business hoping to attract the attention of your community for a new product launch, or if you’re an online business hoping to drive traffic to your website. Send an email to any and all news outlets you think might be interested in writing about your product to let them know when it will be launching and what it is.

Say “oui. Politely offer “oui, merci. Reply with “oui, s'il vous plaît.

You can avoid ingrown hairs by regularly exfoliating and moisturizing your skin in the weeks before and after the waxing session.  Use a body scrub, loofah or washcloth to exfoliate your skin, or make your own exfoliating body scrub using sugar or salt.  Follow up with a lightweight moisturizing lotion -- if your skin feels sensitive after the wax, make sure it is color and fragrance free. A good tip to make your waxing session more effective is to sprinkle a little baby powder on your (clean) skin before waxing. The baby powder soaks up any moisture or oil from the surface of your skin and helps the wax to stick to the hairs better. It's important to get the temperature right, as burning yourself with hot wax is no fun at all!  Once you've melted the wax, test the temperature by applying a little to the inside of your wrist. The skin here is very sensitive, so if it feels okay, the wax should be at a safe temperature to apply to the rest of your body. However, it's important that the wax is not too cold either, otherwise it won't spread properly! In order for hair to adhere to the wax and be effectively removed, hair must be at least 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) to 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) in length.  Therefore, you should avoid shaving or using any other hair removal methods in the week or two running up to your waxing session. It may be hard to resist -- but you'll get a much smoother result in the end. You also need to be wary of hair that's too long -- use a safety scissors to trim long hair to about 1/2 on inch in length for more efficient waxing. Waxing the same area twice can be very painful and even damaging to the already-sensitive skin. So if you notice any hairs that you missed,  just use a tweezers to pluck them out instead.

TL;DR in English: Avoid ingrown hairs. Use baby powder. Avoid burning yourself with the wax. Make sure hair is long enough before you attempt to wax it. Don't wax the same area twice.

” This translates into a simple “yes.”  This statement is the basic way of saying “yes” and can be used in just about any circumstance, regardless of how formal or informal the conversation is. Pronounce this French word as wee.  If you want to make this response more polite, you can add the French equivalent of “mister,” “missus,” or “miss” to the end of the term.   Monsieur, pronounced muh-see-euh, translates into “mister.” Oui, monsieur.   Madame, pronounced mah-dehm, translates into “missus.” Oui, madame.   Mademoiselle, pronounced mah-dehm-mwah-zel, translates into “miss.” Oui, mademoiselle. ” This phrase means “yes, thanks.”   Merci means “thanks” or “thank you.” Pronounce this French phrase as WEE, mare-SEE. ” This is another polite phrase. It means “yes, please.”  As a phrase, s'il vous plaît translates into “please.” More literally, it means, “if you please.”  S'il means “if.”  Vous means “you.” Plaît” means “please.”   This French phrase should be pronounced as WEE, sill voo PLEH.

Soldering will not succeed if too much heat is lost to the air or work surface, so you will need to find a specialized surface with low heat conduction. A charcoal soldering block may be the best option for soldering silver, as it reflects heat to create the high temperature silver requires. A magnesia soldering block or a kiln brick are other common options, and may last through more soldering projects than charcoal. These can be purchased at craft stores or jewelry supply stores, and are similar in size and shape to an ordinary building brick. Silver solder is an alloy formed from silver and other metals, designed to join with silver but melt at a lower temperature. You may purchase this as a container of pre-cut chips, or purchase it in sheet or wire form and cut off 1/8 inch (3mm) chips with wire cutters. Do not attempt to use lead solder when soldering silver, as it will usually fail to work and is difficult to remove.   Warning: Avoid silver solders containing cadmium, which may cause health problems if fumes are inhaled. If you are filling a crack, you may want to use a lower-purity "easy" silver solder, as it melts at a lower temperature. For joining two pieces together, use "medium" or "hard" silver solder with more silver content, to create a stronger bond. Note that there is no industry-wide definition for these terms; if you are switching brands and want results similar to what you're used to, look at the percentage of silver content instead. Do not use a soldering iron, as these are intended for use with lower temperature lead solder and may ruin precious metals. Purchase a small oxy-acetylene torch instead from the hardware store, preferably with a flat "chisel tip" rather than a pointed one. Silver quickly conducts heat away from the location exposed tot he flame. Because of this, a small torch tip may make the soldering go much more slowly. A "flux" is necessary to clean the silver's surface and assist in heat transfer. It also helps remove oxides on the silver's surface, which would interfere...

TL;DR in English: Find a charcoal soldering block or other appropriate work surface. Purchase silver solder. Use a torch, not a soldering iron. Select a general purpose flux or brazing flux. Use a fan for ventilation if necessary. Find tweezers and copper tongs. Take precautions with goggles and an apron. Set up a container of water. Heat a container of "pickle."

Know the penalties and jail terms for avoiding local tax obligations through the use of offshore banking.  If you are taxed on worldwide income, it is illegal to not report proceeds earned in an offshore bank/investment account, even though there may be no added tax from that country. If your intention in setting up an offshore account in the Cayman Islands is to skirt tax laws, you cannot do so lawfully. If you are caught skirting tax laws by depositing money into an offshore account, you may face a variety of civil and criminal penalties, including forfeiture of money and possible imprisonment. Having a bank account and an investment account are two different things, each having distinct tax implications.  Offshore bank accounts are administered by banks and offer traditional services associated with holding a bank account: spending, receiving, and transferring funds, along with earning some forms of interest. If you just want to hold money in an offshore account, a bank account is probably your way to go. Offshore investment accounts are administered by investors and can hold money in different currencies, as well as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. They provide greater flexibility than bank accounts, but may come with higher fees. If you want to hold assets in addition to cash overseas, an investment account may be your best bet. Accounts can be opened by mail, precluding the need for you to visit Cayman in order to open an account. Additionally a number of services such as internet banking, mail retaining, credit cards and investment options can be set up on these accounts. You can use the internet or write to your local British embassy for a list of Cayman Islands Banks. Use search terms like "Cayman Private bank account" if you want to deposit more than $300,000 or "Cayman bank account," "Cayman banking," "Cayman banks" for Cayman Islands banks that accept less for opening accounts. Cayman private banks are more about investment and portfolio management than normal banking. Ask each bank you talk to...

TL;DR in English: Understand tax laws in your country. Understand the differences between an offshore account and an investment account. Realize that you don't need to go to the Cayman Islands to open the account. Find a Cayman Islands bank with competitive rates. Ask banks if they require an "apostilles" stamp. Ask for a list of requirements needed to set up an account. Note that some, not all, offshore bank accounts may require far fewer proofs and far less information. Prepare for other requirements sets up by banking institutions that act as safety measures.

Wood also makes great mulch, and you can make wood or bark mulch from organic matter from around the yard. Go around your house and collect fallen branches, bark, or tree trimmings that you pruned from your plants. Put on safety glasses and process the wood and bark through a wood chipper to make a mulch.  Bark and wood mulch can be used on its own or combined with leaf mulch. Wood mulch is ideal for established gardens and plants, but shouldn’t be used with young plants.  You can rent a wood chipper from a hardware store if you don’t have one of your own. Wood decomposes more slowly than leaves, so this would be a good mulch for long term use. Grass clippings make an ideal addition to leaf mulch, though they aren't as effective when used alone. After mowing your lawn, rake up the grass clippings. Mix the clippings in with the leaf mulch and use a spade or pitchfork to mix them together. If your mower has a bag to collect grass, simply pour the contents of the bag into the leaf mulch when you're done. Like grass clippings, fallen pine needles can also be mixed with leaf mulch. Pine mulch is best used with acid-loving plants. Rake up needles from around your yard and combine them with the leaf mulch using a shovel or pitchfork. Newspaper and other types of paper from around the house can also be recycled and turned into mulch. Collect the paper and use an electric shredder or scissors to shred the paper into small pieces. Combine the paper shreds with the leaf mulch and use as normal.

In medical studies, nearly half of the population has been shown to have characteristics of sensitive skin.  These include redness and/or abnormal stinging, tingling, or burning sensations that occur in response to certain triggers (which can vary from person to person). If you have very sensitive skin with redness and bumps, particularly if you are a woman over 20, you may have a common skin condition called rosacea. This skin condition is also common in people who have had acne. There are several subtypes of rosacea, so it’s best to see a dermatologist if your skin is very sensitive and prone to redness. Triggers are highly variable between people, and it takes experience to find out what causes your skin to become irritated (it will be different for each person). Triggers may include:  particular weather (such as sun, heat, wind, and/or cold) certain cosmetics certain soaps stress your menstrual cycle (for females), although this one cannot be avoided. Using the wrong products can worsen your sensitive skin, so it is best to get a handle on what works for you before attempting to add acne treatments. Avoid products that contain alcohol, menthol, or “exfoliating” agents. These can irritate skin and make acne worse.  In general, using fewer products on your skin is better. Look for products that are labeled "hypoallergenic" at the drug store or pharmacy. Or, ones with fewer ingredients (and more natural ingredients) tend to be a better bet. Always observe the response of your skin to various cosmetics and soaps. Go by trial and error and eliminate those that cause you trouble.

TL;DR in English: Understand that sensitive skin is very common. Identify what triggers your sensitive skin, and avoid these whenever whenever possible. Select appropriate cosmetics and skin care agents for your skin.

Without your knowledge, there could be someone attempting to hack your computer to access your personal files.  However, you can prevent hackers from accessing your information by installing security software to your computer.  Some examples of security software include Norton and McAfee. Though you may desire to share many aspects of your personal life onto social media, don’t post overly personal information, like your address or phone number.  Be very hesitant in trusting the world with that kind of information. Your passwords will allow access to your most personal information, including your email and bank account.  Never share this information with anyone, especially those who you have met online. Make sure your passwords are slightly complex and are something only you would know. Beyond your address and passwords, you should be cautious with everything that you are posting.  Pictures, statuses, and location updates all give strangers more and more information about you, information that could potentially be dangerous.  Ask yourself “would I want everyone to know this?” before you post anything. Avoid posting overly revealing pictures as these can elicit responses from potential predators online. Remember that online, people can pretend to be anyone.  Though you may have seen a picture of someone, you have no way of knowing if that is really them unless you FaceTime or Skype.  Also, any information people share with you could be completely false.  Remember this and proceed with caution.  Should you choose to meet, meet in a public place in the middle of the day and make sure you are not followed home. Consider meeting them with your friends as a group. If you are younger than 18, ask your parents if you can meet someone online.

Consider adding some variation to your bacon. Add some spices to the bacon. Marinate the bacon with sauce, salad dressing, or syrup. Make some bacon pancakes.

Sprains come in 3 grades. A grade 1 sprain has slight tearing of the ligaments, and will result in mild tenderness and swelling. A grade 2 sprain has partial ligament tearing,and moderate tenderness and swelling. A grade 3 sprain is a complete tear of the ligament, and will have significant swelling and tenderness around the ankle.  A grade 1 sprain usually does not require medical attention. A grade 3 sprain should almost always be seen by a doctor to make sure there is no other damage to the ankle. Home treatment and management for all 3 grades is the same, but the higher the grade the longer it will take for the ankle to heal. A grade 1 sprain may not require any medical attention, but grades 2-3 should be seen by a doctor. If your sprain prevents you from comfortably putting weight on your ankle for more than a day, or if you experience severe pain and swelling, call your doctor to make an appointment as soon as possible. Avoid walking on your ankle as much as possible until the swelling goes down and it doesn’t hurt to put weight on the sprained ankle. Try not to put weight on the ankle either. If necessary, use crutches to help distribute your weight and keep your balance when you walk. You may consider using an elastic ankle brace as well. Braces add stability and can help control swelling while the ligaments are healing. Depending on the severity of the sprain, you may need the brace for 2-6 weeks. Wrap a handful of ice, an ice pack, or a bag of frozen peas in a dish towel or a thin piece of cloth. Apply the ice compress to the injured ankle, and hold it there for 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat this every 2-3 hours for as long as swelling persists.  Apply ice to your ankle even if you plan to go to the doctor. Ice limits inflammation, especially during the first 24 hours of the injury. Applying ice to any sprain will help reduce overall swelling and bruising. Alternatively, you can fill a bucket with ice water and immerse your foot and ankle. Leave the ice off at least 20-30 minutes between applications....

You can make your bacon more flavorful by marinating it or rubbing spices onto it before frying it. You can also combine it with other food items. This section will give you some ideas on how to add extra flavor to your bacon. To learn how to fry bacon, refer to the section in this article on frying bacon. You can give your bacon an extra burst of flavor by rubbing a combination of spices onto it. Make sure that the bacon is room temperature before adding the spices. Let the spices sit on the bacon for a few minutes before frying it. Here are some combinations:  1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon apple or pumpkin pie spice.  1 teaspoon brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon of cracked pepper.  1 tablespoon of granulated garlic and 1 tablespoon of paprika.  1 ½ tablespoons of dark brown sugar. Put some bacon in a dish and cover it with a sauce, salad dressing, or syrup of your choosing. Make sure that both sides of the bacon are coated. Let the bowl sit in the fridge for 30 minutes, then fry as usual. Consider marinating the bacon with any of the following:  1 cup pineapple juice plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce Italian salad dressing Molasses Teriyaki sauce Maple syrup. Thinner, Vermont-style maple syrup works best.  Note that sweet sauces and dressings will caramelize when you fry the bacon. This will result in some stickiness and messiness. While not quite seasoning or marinating, it is possible to combine the two best breakfast foods: bacon and pancakes. Prepare some pancake batter and fry some bacon. Take the bacon out of the skillet or frying pan, set it on some paper towels, and pour out the grease. Place the bacon back onto the skillet or pan, leaving 2 inches (5.1 cm) of space between each slice. Pour the batter along each slice of bacon and let it cook until the batter starts to turn bubbly (about 1 to 2 minutes). Flip the bacon pancake over, and let it cook until the bottom turns golden (about 2 minutes).

Before loading the revolver, you must remove the manufacturer's preservative and/or any built-up grime. To do so thoroughly, you'll need to disassemble the gun. The exact disassembly process will vary by manufacturer, so check on the procedure before continuing. Scrub all parts of the disassembled gun with a cotton swab to strip the grease away. Dip the swab in a cleaning solvent or hot, soapy water.  Scrub the interior of all cylinder chambers with the cotton swab. Set the cylinder down so that all of the chambers face downward. This will allow the water or solvent to drain. Pass a cleaning patch soaked with solvent or hot, soapy water through the barrel. Pass clean, dry swabs or patches through each chamber and through the barrel to finish the cleaning process. As you reassemble the revolver, you should oil all moving parts and grease the grooves of the cylinder pin.  Note that reassembly will vary by gun manufacturer. As with disassembly, you should check on the exact procedure before continuing. Use a natural lubricant instead of a petroleum-based one. Apply a light coating of your chosen lubricant to all moving parts of the gun. Do not oil the gun heavily since doing so can cause fouling. You should also lightly grease each ball you'll be firing and the opening of each chamber. Even if you just reassembled the revolver, it's a good idea to verify that the gun is currently unloaded before continuing. At this time, you should also put on your safety goggles and hearing protection. Set the hammer in its half cocked position. Aim the gun at a safe target and squeeze the trigger.  The hammer should not move. If you can squeeze the trigger and the hammer falls, the revolver is broken and unsafe. Do not load it. Instead, you must have the gun repaired. The half cocked position acts as the revolver's "safety" position. Slide a cleaning rod or wooden dowel down the barrel and mark rod at the muzzle.

Give new hires a brief tour, pointing out things like different departments, restrooms, break rooms, conference rooms, and the offices of VIPs. People usually don’t start to feel at ease until they become familiar with their environment.  Be sure to let them know if smoking is prohibited on company property. Point out areas of special interest, like where people like to socialize and where they should never go. Part of any orientation is learning the names of the people you’ll be working with. Not only does familiarizing a new employee with coworkers make them more comfortable, it cuts down on confusion and tension in the new worker’s adjustment. Instead of a boring list of employees, make a collage of employee faces so that the new employee feels like they are joining a community instead of just a job. Even if the new employee you’ve taken under your wing works in a different department, you can still point out the most helpful places and coworkers at your company.  You can connect them with people who are known to be friendly, and people whose job is similar to your new employee’s so that they can get guidance. You can direct them to areas of assistance, like Human resources (HR) for details on health insurance or the company purchaser for supplies they might need. No matter what job a new employee has, they will need supplies to make it happen. Part of the new recruit’s first tour should be the supply closet so they don’t waste others’ time (and their own) looking for materials. See to it that their desk is stocked with enough supplies to get them started.

The idea for a business can come from a variety of sources. Perhaps you've noticed a problem in your life or the life of someone close to you that lacks a solution. Or maybe the industry that you've worked in for years is in need of a shakeup. Alternately, maybe you're just looking for a business idea that you can sell to customers and make profitable. Brainstorm ideas for days or weeks and come up with a list of reasonable ideas. When you have a list, consider, for each business idea:  Who are your potential customers? How would you set up the business model? Where are you going to get your supplies/materials from? Do you know enough about this industry to make it work? No business, especially a small one, can appeal to all customers. In fact, a business is usually defined by the customers or markets they choose not to serve. To become successful, you'll have to identify the niche in the market where your audience is. Start by thinking of what type of customers you want to serve. Are they individuals or businesses? Then, look at the problem your business is solving from their perspective. What type of solutions do they want and how should it be done? Then, you can work within this niche to sell to your customers. Just make sure that your niche is substantial enough to sustain your growth. The first step to actually starting a business is to write a business plan for it. This will give you a basic structure that you can use to plan your goals and decisions. Keep in mind that this plan can be edited over time as you learn new strategies and adapt to your market.  At minimum, a business plan should include a summary of the plan, a business description, market strategies, an analysis of competition, a growth plan, operation and management plans, and how financing will be acquired.

Put a handful of almonds or cashews in a plastic bag and stash them in your purse or bag so they are easy to get to when you find yourself craving a snack. If you tend to crave something crunchy, go for homemade popcorn, tossed with sesame oil and sesame seeds, for a healthier alternative to potato chips. Rather than overhaul your entire diet, focus on choosing the healthier option for at least one meal a day. Choose a salad and a smoothie over a burger and fries for lunch or go for a healthy stir fry with vegetables over steak and potatoes at dinner. Try to be consistent about going for a healthy option for at least one meal a day to reduce your calorie intake and stay health conscious. Artificial sugars can be found in many prepackaged foods, such as baked goods, candy, sauces, and dips. Many artificial sweeteners for coffee and tea can also lead to health issues.  If possible, substitute artificial sugar in your meals with natural sugars like maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar. These natural sweeteners contain minerals and nutrients that are good for you and can taste as good or better than artificial sugars. Rather than have a prepackaged cookie or candy, have a piece of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate contains antioxidants and contains less sugar than milk chocolate or other sweets. Try to integrate natural sweeteners like honey, agave, and maple syrup into your baking. This will help you to avoid processed and artificial sugars and ensure your baked goods are healthy alternatives to store bought...

TL;DR in English:


Consider acupuncture to prevent seizures. Talk to your vet about Chinese herbal formulas. Discuss changing your dog’s diet.

Abscesses are a common type of lump that usually form a few days after a fight with another cat or dog. They are rather large and filled with fluid. If you notice your cat seems feverish or unwell and has a lump with a scab in the middle, it is likely an abscess. Abscesses are bacterial infections. While they are usually not too dangerous, it’s best to have a vet look at them. They can drain the fluid and prescribe your cat antibiotics to rid their body of infection. Blood can collect beneath the skin at the site of a minor injury. This will form a swollen, fluid-filled lump called a haematoma. Haematomas are common on cats that shake their head vigorously and damage the capillaries between the cartilage and skin of their ear. Haematomas need to be evaluated by a veterinarian. There is usually an underlying cause of a haematoma, which requires treatment. For example, it may be the result of ear mites or an infection that caused your cat to damage their ear. Some cysts may be caused by blocked hair follicles or oil ducts. If a lump appears suddenly but doesn’t change, and has a hair growing from its center, it may be a cyst. They can be left alone if they do not repeatedly get infected or bother your cat. If you're unsure, the safest option is having a vet check on a cyst and determine whether it should be removed. If you have recently changed the type of food you feed your cat and notice lumps on their head and neck, the lumps are likely evidence of an allergic reaction.  Discontinue feeding them that food and see if the lumps subside.  Lumps of this sort will be small, pale, and filled with fluid. While the lumps themselves are not dangerous, your cat may hurt itself by scratching. If lumps are small, reddish, and slightly pointed, they are likely flea bites.  They will usually be accompanied by scratching, and maybe hair loss.  Talk to your vet about how to get rid of the fleas, and watch out for wounds on your cat’s skin where they are constantly licking and scratching.

TL;DR in English: Determine whether the cat has been fighting. Assess whether an ear lump is a haematoma. Have cysts removed. Consider a potential food allergy. Rule out flea bites.

While natural remedies aren’t backed by scientific research, many people claim that their dogs have experienced relief by using certain methods. Acupuncture is the process of inserting thin, long needles into certain pressure points, which might relieve pain and stop the frequency of seizures. Talk to your vet before trying acupuncture for your dog.  Keep in mind that acupuncture is usually used in addition to medication, not in place of it. Ask your vet, family, and friends for recommendations for professional acupuncturists. You might also want to check out online reviews. Only allow a professional with experience treating dogs to work on your pet. Some people believe that Chinese herbal medication can help reduce seizures in dogs. Ask your vet if herbal remedies might help your pet.  Remember that herbal formulas may not be proven effective. Don't delay treating your dog with medication. Gastrointestinal upset, such as diarrhea, is a common side-effect. It may seem as though your dog gets worse before better. That is common. Herbs might be used to prolong the effects of acupuncture sessions. Since your dog’s food has a big impact on their overall health, it makes sense that changing their diet might help control the seizures. Some vets recommend a high-fat, low-carb diet, or a low salt diet, which may reduce seizures. Talk to your vet before changing your dog’s food.  Ask your vet for a dog food that is right for your pet. You can also ask about making your own dog food, if you want to try that. Ask your vet about giving your dog fish oil supplements, which might help prevent seizures. It's usually safe to give your dog "people" fish oil, but there are also special pills for dogs. Ask your vet which is right for your dog, and follow the vet's dosage instructions, rather than those on the bottle.

TL;DR in English:


Make your paint. Dye the tips. Use multiple colors.

Remove a cabinet door and take it to a hardware store with a paint counter. Collect latex paint swatches at the hardware store to help you choose your color. Scrub the surface of the cabinets with a strong detergent mixed with water and a sponge. Set up a well-ventilated workshop where you can store your cabinet doors and drawers as you prep and paint them and wait for them to cure. Remove all doors and drawers from your cabinets with a screwdriver. Apply wood filler to holes with a putty knife, if you are planning on changing the configuration of your cabinet hardware from door pulls to knobs. Tape the inside edges of the cabinets and the outside edges of the counters. Sand the surface of all the surfaces you plan to paint with 220-grit sandpaper.

Simply place a few drops of color with a 2 tablespoons of water in a shallow dish. The more drops of food coloring you use, the more vibrant your dye will be. To keep it more natural looking, stick to one drop of food coloring with your water. Carefully dip the tips of your flower into the dye. Keep it upside down until your petals dry. This will take anywhere from 5-30 minutes, depending on how heavily you dipped your flowers. Because you’ve used toilet paper, it will soak up the dye very, very quickly. Remember this when dipping the tips of the petals. You barely need to touch the dye to add a lot of color quickly to your petals. Use different dishes to use multiple colors for your flowers. Once you’re comfortable enough dipping them, you can even use different colors per flower. To do this, simply roll the outside tips gently through the dye and then dip the taller petals into your second color.

TL;DR in English: Make your dye. Dye the tips. Use multiple colors.

Oak is porous, and if the pores were not filled during construction, your paint job may look pock marked. It is a good idea to check with a professional to see what paint, primer or sandpaper is specifically necessary for your oak cabinets. Ask the hardware clerk for a high-quality paint that is formulated for kitchen cabinets. Low quality paints can result in drawers and doors that get stuck after reinstallation. If you want to replace the hardware in your doors, take the old pulls and hinges to the hardware store, so you can be sure you are buying the right measurements. New cabinet hardware is often made in different sizes than older hardware. Rinse thoroughly and dry with clean towels. The detergent you use should be identified as a grease-cutting detergent. If the cabinets are extremely old or dirty, you should use trisodium phosphate (TSP) to cut the grease on your cabinets. This is an industrial strength cleaner that should be used with extreme caution. You can use 1/2 cup of TSP mixed with 2 gallons (7.5 l) of water. Make sure to ventilate the area well and rinse thoroughly before drying.    A garage works well for this purpose. Cover the garage floor with drop cloths and bring in sawhorses. Write the location of the cabinet on a piece of blue tape and stick it in the inside of the door or drawer to help you reinstall correctly. Place the drawers and door fronts in your workshop. Store the hardware in small plastic bags to ensure you don't lose anything during the removal process.     Place a piece of painter's tape behind the hole, to keep the putty from spilling out of the other end. Allow it to dry and then lightly sand the surface with 220-grit sandpaper. Cover the floor and appliance surfaces with drop cloths or newspaper. Tape them down at the edges. Spend extra time making sure it is sanded, if the oak has a thick polyurethane coating. Sweep off the dust and wipe the surfaces with tack cloth.

TL;DR in English:


Roll the fondant into a rectangular shape that’s 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) thick. Cut a strip of fondant that’s 1.5 to 2 in (3.8 to 5.1 cm) wide. Fold the strip in half lengthwise. Roll the strip up, pinching the bottom to form a cone shape. Set the roses in a room temperature spot to dry for 24 hours.

Parades can be stressful, and often the best option is to leave him at home in a crate or room, as described in the section on parties. If you don’t want to leave your dog alone, another option is to leave him with friends or family not attending. However, if you do decide to bring your dog with you, follow the steps below to keep your dog as calm and safe as possible. These include:  A crate for securing your dog. A secure leash and collar. A harness or controlling item such as a head collar might be preferred, as your dog may pull. A muzzle. This is a necessary safety precaution, as the sights and sounds of a parade can distress your dog to the point of biting. A collapsible water bowl and water. Your pet must be kept hydrated, as should you. Though you likely won’t be able to follow through a complete desensitization due to lack of time, you can introduce your dog gradually – at first, simply allow him to adjust to the sight, smell, and noise of the crowd at a closer and closer distance, and the parade using the same rules. You should only bring a dog to a parade if he has been obedience trained, but even if he has been, keep a closer eye on your dog than usual. Watch for signs that your dog is uneasy or upset; if the parade upsets your dog too much, you can take him away from the parade or, if possible, set up a crate in a secure location.

TL;DR in English: Consider leaving your dog at home. Purchase or gather the supplies you may need. Introduce your dog to the parade gradually. Keep your dog under control.

You want the fondant to be thin enough that the flowers don’t look clunky, yet thick enough that it won’t rip when you’re forming the petals. Use a rolling pin with gentle pressure to evenly spread out the fondant on a flat surface.  Spread a layer of shortening or sprinkle cornstarch onto your surface if you want to prevent the fondant from sticking. Use pink or red fondant for realistic roses. However, you can use any color you'd like. Trim the edges with a knife to create your rectangle, if necessary. The length of the strip doesn’t matter but the width shouldn’t be more than 2 inches (5.1 cm) or the rose will be too chunky. A butter knife will be sharp enough to slice through the fondant. Cut as many strips as you want roses. Each strip makes 1 rose. Line up the long edges of the fondant to make sure you fold the piece exactly down the center. Don’t smash the 2 sides together. Just rest them on top of each other so you can still see the crease between them. If you’re having trouble folding the fondant, you may have a piece that’s too thin. Re-cut a wider strip. Keep the open edge facing up. Squeeze the bottom of the folded strip between your thumb and forefinger as you roll so it tapers down into a slight point.  The tighter you roll your strip, the smaller your rose will be. If you wind up with extra fondant at the bottom, simply pinch it off with your fingers. Brush a little bit of water along the strip before you begin rolling if you want the rose to hold its shape better. The water acts as glue. Don’t use the roses immediately to decorate a cake or they’ll fall apart or become misshapen. Letting them dry first will harden them into their flower shape. If you aren’t using your roses right away, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for no more than 2 weeks.

Learn everything that you can about bipolar disorder. Take note of your child's mood and behaviors. Talk to your child's teachers. Help your child keep track of therapy appointments and medication.

The best way to do this is work on collecting your layers year round. Whenever you find a warm winter coat someone else has thrown away, hold on to it. It will come in handy during the winter, and can be used as a pillow or to lay on other times of the year. Think about using a plastic bag over you if you don't have a waterproof layer -- if you get wet, you get cold. You can insulate yourself with multiple layers, but if you’re still cold, try newspaper. By crumpling it up and stuffing it between layers of clothing you can create insulating pockets of air that will help keep you warm. You could also try foam pieces or blankets between your clothing, both of which are much warmer than newspaper. Plastic bags also work well. If you have nothing else, dry leaves will even work. Don't use fiberglass insulation (often pink fibers between layers of paper, used in houses). The tiny glass fibers will cut your skin and could cause infection. Wear multiple socks on cold nights. Before it gets cold, work on finding boots that cover your whole foot, ankle, and part of your leg. Keeping your feet and lower legs protected from cold wind is essential to staying warm. If you are really cold, you might need to create layers of insulation on your feet, perhaps even including plastic bags. Make sure you go to bed with dry socks on.

TL;DR in English: Dress in layers. Use insulation techniques. Don’t forget your feet.

When it comes to bipolar disorder in children, family support is important. The best way you can support your child is through education.  Bipolar disorder is marked by mood swings in which a child moves from manic to depressive phases. During a manic phase, a child may be very silly, energetic, and happy while also having a very short temper. They may sleep very little, have difficulty concentrating, and engage in risky behaviors. During a depressive phase, your child may be quiet and withdrawn and cry a lot. They may also feel guilty or worthless and have little interest in activities. They might complain of aches or pains, as children often lack the vocabulary to explain feelings of sadness and despair.  Bipolar disorder comes in a variety of forms. Bipolar Disorder I is generally more intense, with manic episodes lasting up to six days. Bipolar Disorder II involves shorter, less intense manic phases. There are other, milder forms of bipolar disorder that fall outside the two main diagnostic categories. When your child is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a psychiatrist will explain what category they fall into and allow you to ask questions.  The best way to learn about your child's condition is talking to your child's doctor or psychiatrist. They can recommend reading materials to you that can teach you how to manage the moods of a bipolar child. Start taking daily notes regarding your child's behavior. What was their mood like today? What triggered that mood? How have they been sleeping? What medications are they taking? These are all important elements of their disorder. This will help you see what progress has been made and if any negative side effects are sprouting up in the results of new therapies or medications. Share your observations with doctors and psychiatrist to help alter your child's treatment options for the best results. Your child's teachers must be familiar with your child's disorder. Children with bipolar disorder may have difficulty concentrating in school and interacting with others...

Cut the veneer to the size you want, making sure to leave as little overhang as possible. Any more than 1/4" overhang and you'll likely crack the veneer. Using a very short nap roller, roll the contact cement onto the area of the substrate that will be covered by a single panel of the veneer. Roll in one direction and then the other, just like you would a wall, in order to guarantee 100% coverage of the substrate surface. Go through the same motions to apply contact cement to the veneer, also making sure to get 100% coverage. There should not be any dry spots. Allow just enough time for the adhesive to dry slightly. It should feel perhaps somewhat tacky to the touch, but not be able to grab hold of a sheet of paper or the hairs of your arm. This is usually after 5-10 minutes. Place a sheet of wax or parchment paper on your substrate. This will go between the substrate and the veneer while you align the veneer, to help you get it as straight as possible without joining the pieces before they're ready. Line up the corners of the veneer and the substrate and get it into place. Then start to press it down so that the two glued sides touch, removing the paper as you go. Using your hand, smooth out the piece of veneer, starting from the center and moving out toward the edges. Apply firm pressure to ensure that full contact is made. Next, smooth it again using a flat tool like a putty knife or a carpet stair tool. Smooth it in one direction and then the other, just like you applies the adhesive. Do not use a tool like a roller, as this applies weak and uneven pressure. Trim the edges using a utility knife and then sand the edges using high grit sandpaper (180 to 220).

TL;DR in English: Cut your veneer to size. Apply contact cement to the substrate. Apply contact cement to the veneer. Allow for tack time. Place a sheet of wax paper. Align the veneer. Smooth out the piece. Trim the edges.

. Boil the asparagus spears in a pot of water for 3-5 minutes, depending on their thickness. When the spears are bright green and tender, place them into an "ice bath": a large bowl 2/3 filled with cold water and ice cubes. The ice bath will "shock" the asparagus to stop the cooking. Soak the asparagus for as long as it took to boil. Drain your spears using a colander or a paper towel.  Serve blanched asparagus spears in salads, or eat them on their own with dressing and seasoning. For a simple and tasty dish, add a bit of coarse salt and a drizzle of olive oil to your asparagus before serving it. Blanching is a great way to prepare asparagus for storage if you plan to eat it later. If you are blanching asparagus in advance, or you plan on bringing it to a picnic or potluck, refrigerate the spears in a paper towel-lined plastic bag. . Stir-fry tends to include a variety of vegetables, and asparagus isn't an unheard-of addition to the mix. Add to any stir-fry as long as the asparagus goes well with the ingredients. If you have picky children, a stir-fry can be a great way to get them to eat asparagus. You can easily put in some shredded chicken and small chunks of vegetables, and they may not even notice the asparagus. . Wrap bacon around pieces of asparagus and put them into a pot. Use more oil than than you would in a stir-fry. Fry for 10 minutes and serve on a plate. Be careful not to over- or under-cook the bacon. Be prepared to clean the dishes very well, as they may grow greasy and messy. . Cream of asparagus soup is an elegant starter or lunch dish, and you can prepare it in 50 minutes. The soup is hearty enough to be a main dish, but you can also serve it as a side. To serve four:  Cut the tips from 12 asparagus spears, 1.5 inches from the top, and halve the tips lengthwise if thick. Save the tips to garnish the soup. Cut the stalks and all remaining asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces. Sauté one large onion, chopped, in 2 tablespoons butter in a 4-quart pot over moderately low heat. Cook, stirring, until...

Look for signs of tiredness, such as yawning, heavy eyes, whininess, making fists, and eye rubbing. Putting her to bed and letting her fall asleep on her own will help her learn to soothe herself to sleep. Avoid eye contact at this stage, as it might stimulate her and wake her up again. Babies should always sleep on their backs, as babies who sleep on their tummies are at an increased risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). Soothe your baby with physical contact as you transfer her to bed. Gently lay your hand on her stomach, arms, or head to reassure her that you are there and make her feel safe and secure. This includes bedroom lights, lamps, nightlights, monitors and screens, and anything else that might create artificial light. Unnatural light can interfere with our circadian rhythms, which is our natural sleep-wake cycle.  Consider dimming the lights during your pre-bed routine to reduce your baby’s exposure to light before it’s time to sleep.  Keep the room dark all night. Nighttime exposure to artificial light can suppress the body’s production of melatonin, which is the hormone responsible for regulating the sleep-wake cycle. A mid-night feeding while she’s still asleep can stave off hunger longer, and may prevent your baby from waking up for an extra couple hours. Since she’ll be drinking slower and won’t swallow as much air, try forgoing burping after bedtime or mid-night feedings, because this may wake her up and make it difficult to get her back to sleep.

TL;DR in English: Put her to bed when she is sleepy but still awake. Lay her down on her back. Turn off the lights. Feed her before you go to sleep for the night.

For this example, we used a simple black background with the word "FIRE!" in Arial Black on a second layer. It's important that the text be on a different layer than the background. If you're using an existing document, work with a copy of the original. Drag the original text layer to the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers window. Once duplicated, click on the Fx menu at the bottom of the Layers menu, and select Outer Glow. In the resulting Layer Style window, change the glow color from yellow to white, and Opacity to 100%, as shown: Click the OK button. Your image should now look like this: From the Filter menu, select Blur > Gaussian Blur... Photoshop will prompt you with a warning that this action will rasterize the type layer, and that you will not be able to edit the actual text if you proceed. OK the warning, and set the blur so that it looks something like this: Note that if your text layer is larger or smaller than our example, the actual Radius setting will vary. The example was done using 72pt type. Click on the Smudge tool (below the Gradient tool), then click on the brush settings at the top of the window. In the resulting smudge tool adjustment window, use these settings: With these settings, you're going to "draw" the fire. As with any kind of brush work in Photoshop or other graphics applications, the use of a tablet is recommended. Using the smudge tool, brush from the letters outward, to give the appearance of flames. Short, quick strokes will give you the best result, and if you're using a brush, vary the thickness by pressure. Your fire should look as shown: When done, duplicate the smudged layer.

Be kind and considerate. Take an interest in other people. Be kind and considerate. Match the pace of others. Focus on your similarities. Don't make promises you can't keep.

Provide moderate water. Train the plant if desired. Spread mulch. Fertilize with caution. Prune three times a year. Treat the plant for pests when necessary. Watch out for fire blight and scab.

Entering conversations with a good attitude will lead to more positive interactions with others and make it easier to get along. Smile and talk about positive things to the extent that you are able.  You don't need to fake happiness if your best friend has just died, but generally, try not to burden others with your problems, especially minor gripes. For example, if someone asks how you are, and you've just gotten in from a long, difficult commute, try to think of something good that happened that day that you can tell him or her about rather than immediately expressing your frustration with rush hour traffic. Don't just talk about yourself when interacting with others. Find something genuinely interesting about what they have to say, and ask questions about them.  This will make other people feel more important and valued by you.  Be a good listener. People want to feel that what they have to say is heard by others. This will make people enjoy talking to you more and reduce conflict in your day-to-day conversations. Be careful of other people's feelings when talking to them. Avoid unnecessary criticisms or mean-spirited jokes that might make others feel bad. Compliment others, especially at the start of a conversation. Starting a conversation off with some sincere flattery will get things off on the right foot. Each person walks, talks, and generally moves through life at a different pace than others. It's easy to feel like your own pace is the "natural" one, but try to match the pace of other people. If someone talks slowly and quietly, avoid talking to him loudly and at a rapid pace. This will make it more enjoyable and comfortable for the other person to talk to you. It's important to respect people's differences, but it's also good to focus on what you have in common with others. This will make conversation smoother and easier for both of you.  This works at both the individual and cultural level. Whether someone comes form a completely different culture or just has a very different personality from...

Established pyracantha can survive mild to moderate droughts, but if the area has not received any rainwater in over a week, you should soak the soil around the base of the plant using a garden hose. Provide enough water to thoroughly saturate the soil.  If the plant begins to drop leaves, it probably isn't getting enough water. If the leaves begin to turn yellow or if the wood of the plant becomes soft, it might be receiving too much water. If you planted the pyracantha against a wall or fence, you can encourage it to grow upward and against this structure instead of growing outward.  Most pyracantha cultivars are strong enough to hold themselves against a wall or fence without any assistance, but they will still benefit from being tied down. Run wires along your wall next to the pyracantha and tie the branches of the shrub to these wires with string or cable ties. If you are training the pyracantha against a fence or trellis, you can tie the branches directly to the structure using string or cable ties. Spread a 2-inch (5-cm) layer of organic mulch around the base of each pyracantha shrub. Mulch can hold in moisture, thereby preventing the roots of the plant from weakening due to intense dry weather. Mulch also protects the plant from ground frost during cold winters Fertilizer is usually unnecessary when you're dealing with pyracantha. If anything, nitrogen-rich fertilizers can do more harm than good.  Nitrogen causes the plant to grow too many leaves. As a result, fruit yield suffers and the plant can be more susceptible to disease. If you do choose to fertilize the plant, use a balanced fertilizer containing equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium or one containing more phosphorus and potassium than nitrogen. Apply it once during early spring and a second time during late summer. You can technically prune pyracantha during any time of the year, but many gardeners choose to prune these shrubs once in mid spring, once in early to mid fall, and once more in late fall to early winter.  Wait until the...

Put together some strategic questions for an online survey to circulate to your emailing lists. They don’t have to be elaborate or conform strictly to the scientific method. Simple surveys can still be effective. You might be more familiar with using a word processing platform or spreadsheet, but a dedicated survey tool is better. Consider using one such as Constant Contact or SurveyMonkey that aggregates results for you. These tools also have helpful features and types of surveys and questions that you might not have thought about. Decide from the outset which type of information you’re looking to learn so you can be specific and focused. Ask the most important questions first. That way, you can get your most important topics addressed before a respondent tunes out or skips to the end.  Make the survey user friendly and brief. Ask multiple-choice or “closed” questions: ones that can be answered with one word or phrase. This makes results easier to analyze for you, and it makes questions easier to answer for your respondents. Introduce some variety to your queries. You might add some yes-or-no’s to your multiple choice questions, or you could have them answer some queries on a scale of 1 to 10, for example. This might also be the exception to the rule of sticking to closed questions. You could ask an open-ended question or two for variety’s sake. A good survey should help you find out what your customers really value, and may give insight into how they search for you. Then, you can place yourself on the other end of that search. Survey tools also usually provide pie charts and other graphics to help you visualize results or to use in presentations.

TL;DR in English: Develop a survey. Don’t use a simple word processing document. Develop insightful questions. Analyze your results.

Just like in elementary school, there are rules and guidelines that you have to follow. Some of these may be the same, such as raising your hand in class. Some may be different, such as dealing with hall passes. Ask questions. Teachers and staff want to be sure you know what to do and if you understand their instructions or not. Don't be afraid to ask questions! Teachers are there to help you! If you're not sure, just ask. If your school has a student handbook, look it over. While it may not cover everything, it will make clear rules, policies, and expectations. Act mature. While staff will not demand perfection, your behavior will likely be held to a higher standard than in elementary school. Naturally, people talk about other people's problems, behavior, and lives. While being informed of the social goings-on at school is healthy, unfortunately sometimes there's going to be lots of gossip and some really malicious rumors floating around.   Try to ignore rumors, even when they’re about you, and if anyone talks or asks you about a rumor, tell them to ignore it and not spread it around. Never start rumors; they only break friendships, create enemies, hurt feelings, and make things worse for everyone. If you have an issue with someone, talk to them directly. Be kind. If someone is talking nastily about someone, feel free to react with kindness. For instance, if there is gossip about a breakup between two people, you can react by saying, "That would be too bad if they broke up. But I don't see how that's any of my business." For rumors of a person's sexual orientation, know that a lot of people are LGBT+ and there is nothing wrong with it. If people are, they are.  Help stop rumors by standing up for people and not participating by spreading the rumor. Protect other people's privacy and mistakes. You wouldn't want someone spreading your personal secrets around, would you? Drama is unnecessary. Some people think that a life has to be filled with melodrama to be important and appreciated by others. It does not....

Simmer the puree as it's simmering or after it has been blended to ensure that the balance of sweet and tart flavors is just right. Recipes are important guidelines for making sure a dish comes out correctly, but the best cooking is always done to taste and can be altered based on personal preference. Add more sugar

Change the proportions of ingredients. Make a sweeter puree. Thicken it up. Substitute another liquid.

Look over sales figures for past years to determine which times in the year account for the higher percentage of your sales. Are they constant? Do you experience higher sales in winter or summer? Measure the increase or decrease in sales during these times. Was the change higher or lower in certain years? Then, think about why this might be the case. Use what you've learned and apply it to the current year's forecast. For example, if you sell snow boots, you might have experienced a particularly large boost in sales in a cold winter. If this year is forecasted to be a similarly cold winter, you should increase your demand forecast accordingly. This refers to situations where a change in your product or its market resulted in higher or lower sales. Create charts of your historical sales for the product and mark important dates, for example a price increase or the introduction of a competing product. This can also be broader, like a reaction to the shifting economy or changes in consumer spending. Read relevant trade journals and newspaper articles to gather this information. Having all of this data at hand can give you a better idea of what might affect your future demand. A life cycle refers to the "life" of your products, between when it was first introduced and the present day. Look at the sales of your product at various stages. Examine the nature of customers who buy the your product during these stages. For example, you will have early adopters (those who love the latest technology), mainstream buyers (people who wait for product reviews and referrals), laggards (they only buy when the product has been out for a long time), and other types of consumers. This will help you determine your product’s life cycle trends and the demand patterns for your product. The industries that use this model the most include high technology, fashion, and products facing short life cycles. What makes this approach unique is that the cause of the demand is directly linked to the product’s life cycle. Create a model that...

TL;DR in English: Examine previous years' sales for monthly or seasonal trends. Look for customer reactions. Create a life cycle model. Use a simulation model.

Sample the puree as it's simmering or after it has been blended to ensure that the balance of sweet and tart flavors is just right. Recipes are important guidelines for making sure a dish comes out correctly, but the best cooking is always done to taste and can be altered based on personal preference. Add more sugar to give the puree a more dessert-like quality, or increase the lemon juice to bring out the natural acidic notes of the raspberries when the puree is used in other recipes.  Simmering the puree as opposed to blending it can give you more control over the flavor, as the heat will cook out the natural tartness of the raspberries, and sweetness and tartness can then be modified using sugar and lemon juice. Always taste purees and sauces as they're being prepared. Up the amount of sugar in the recipe, or supplement with confectioners sugar or honey for a sweeter variety of puree. Not everybody likes sour things, and the tart flavors of the raspberries and lemon juice can dominate when not counterbalanced by sweeteners. Sweetening the puree will make it more palatable when it is being served on its own as a topping or on the side as part of a dessert plate. Confectioners sugar blends and dissolves better than regular granulated sugar because of how finely it is ground. If you want your puree nice and thick, use 2/3 tablespoons of cornstarch along with 1/4 cup of water to bulk up the consistency. Cornstarch will do little to affect the flavor of the puree, but will thicken it nicely to allow it to stand up better to cooking, microwaving and thawing after it's been frozen. Thickened raspberry purees can even be used as fillings for cupcakes and pastries, which require that the texture be more substantial.  Stir in the cornstarch a little at a time until the desired thickness is reached. Adding too much at once may cause the puree to congeal.  Keep in mind that the puree will thicken on its own somewhat as it cools. Use orange juice, water or even honey in place of lemon juice to cut down on the tartness...

Your doctor can diagnose if it really is a bladder infection or something else. If you can’t get an appointment with your normal doctor, try visiting an urgent care center.  If you suspect a bladder infection, you can purchase a urinary tract infection home test kit at your local pharmacy. You can also check your urine for signs of infection by urinating into a clear glass container and letting it sit for a while. Hold the glass up to the light and look for clouding or sediment. These are both signs of infection. Symptoms of a bladder infection include a constant desire to urinate, a burning sensation when you urinate, red or cloudy urine, a foul unusual smell from your urine, or pelvic pain in women. If you have a fever, chills, flushed skin, or back pain, the infection may have spread to your kidneys. Get immediate medical care. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you could be pregnant. Your doctor may ask you to urinate into a cup. Follow your doctor’s instructions for this test. Generally, you will step into the bathroom and clean your genitals using an antibacterial wipe given to you by your doctor. Hold the cup above the toilet as you urinate into it.  Your doctor may be able to test the sample right in their own office. In some cases, however, they will need to send it off to a lab. Some types of bacteria are resistant to certain antibiotics, so your doctor may want to get a culture and sensitivity test done on your urine to be sure you are getting the most effective treatment. Make sure to follow up with them about the results. Your doctor will likely prescribe you a pill to take once or twice a day. Although discomfort and burning may clear up in a few days, do not stop taking your antibiotic until you have gone through the full course of medication.  Women may take antibiotics for as few as 3 days, although pregnant women may need them for up to 2 weeks. Men will usually take antibiotics for 1-2 weeks. If you stop taking the medication, the infection could return, and it may be harder to...

TL;DR in English: Visit your doctor if you are worried about a bladder infection. Undergo a urine analysis to diagnose the infection. Take a prescription antibiotic according to your doctor’s instructions. Check into the hospital for IV treatment in severe situations.

Newspapers can report on happenings for a school, community or neighborhood, or organization. They can be local, regional, national or international in scope. Determine who your audience is and why you want to publish this newspaper. Be realistic about your reach. If you want to publish nationally, think about how you will reach your audience and convince them to read your paper. Newspapers can be published daily, weekly, monthly, or even less frequently. Think about how frequently your readers will want news. Think too about how you will be able to handle publishing as frequently as you would like. Do you have the staff to support frequent publishing? Are you doing everything yourself? Consider starting publishing less frequently and as your newspaper builds its readership and financial support, you can switch to a more frequent schedule. Circulation is the reach of your paper, or how many copies you will print and circulate. If you are publishing online, circulation numbers are measured in how many people visit and read your online newspaper. Think about how many copies you can afford to publish and how you can realistically distribute them. Choose a number of pages and size of the page for your newspaper. Newspaper pages are typically printed in multiples of 4, with smaller papers running about 8 pages, and larger newspapers running more pages than that. Think about how many sections you’d like in your paper (news, opinion, etc.) and how many pages to devote to each of these. Newspapers can be printed in hard copy, but increasingly, newspapers are turning to an exclusively online format. If you do print in hard copy, consider also offering some of your stories online, or at least having some kind of online presence. Consider too if you are publishing any of your pages in color or black and white . Online printing is in full color, but physical printing will cost more if you add colors. Talk with a printer to find out your options. Most newspapers are funded a combination of advertising and subscriptions or...

Mix your grout according to the directions on the package; usually grout is mixed with water in a 5 gallon (18.9 L) bucket. Use a masonry float to spread the grout into the spaces between the tiles, creating a smooth surface. Remove the excess grout you get on the tiles with a sponge. Seal the grout

The percent increase formula calculates the percent increase in a cost as a percentage of the previous cost. Written out in full, the formula is Percent Increase=(New Cost−Previous Cost)Previous Cost×100{\displaystyle {\text{Percent Increase}}={\frac {({\text{New Cost}}-{\text{Previous Cost}})}{\text{Previous Cost}}}\times 100}. The ×100{\displaystyle \times 100} at the end converts the difference from a decimal to a percentage. Start your calculation by putting your variables into the formula. Then, simplify the part of your equation in parentheses by subtracting the previous cost from the new cost. For example, if you bought a gallon of milk a month ago for $2.50 and, today, it is $3.50, subtract $2.50 from $3.50 to get the dollar amount of the change, or $1.00 in this case. Your next step is to divide the result of the last step by the previous price. This essentially converts the different between the new and old costs to a proportion of the previous cost.  In the example, this would be $1.00 (the result of the previous step) divided by $2.50 (the previous cost). The result is 0.40, which is expressed as a number rather than a dollar amount. Multiply the answer by 100 to get the percentage increase. The result will be the percentage that the previous cost has been increased by to arrive at the new cost.  In the example, this is 0.40×100{\displaystyle 0.40\times 100}, which is 40 percent. So, the cost of a gallon of milk has increased by 40 percent between the previous and new costs.

TL;DR in English: Understand the percent increase formula. Subtract the previous cost from the new cost. Divide the difference by the previous cost. Convert the answer to a percentage.

It should have a peanut butter-like consistency. Like the thinset mortar, it should slake for 10 minutes and then briefly be mixed again before application. Float your grout in several different directions to make sure you're working the grout into the grout lines effectively and evenly. Work quickly here. The grout sets up fast — considerably faster than the mortar does. For this reason work only in small areas before branching out. Again, give yourself a small area to work on so that the grout doesn't set up before you have time to wipe it off the tiles. You can also use a damp cloth after this time to rub away any haze left over on the tile. Let the grout set for at least a few hours. after it has set for 72 hours. Use a grout sealer with an applicator brush and take care not to get any on the tile itself.

The interest rate is the rate of interest that you pay on the bond.

Know the equation for bond accrued interest. Input your variables. Find the period interest rate. Calculate your day-count fraction. Determine the value of your accrued interest.

If you're hanging upside down, remember gravity is not on your side. Be 100% sure you're secure on the surface you're using. Use your hands to stay in place. You can even have someone else hold your feet to ensure you don't fall. Hanging upside down for prolonged periods can cause issues like dizziness and disorientation. Refrain from hanging upside down for more than five to 10 minutes at a time to avoid this. This should give you plenty of time to pull off the Spiderman kiss. Hanging upside down can be detrimental to your health. Conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, and glaucoma can be aggravated by hanging upside down. If you have any of these conditions, it's best to try the Spiderman kiss while lying down instead.

TL;DR in English: Account for gravity. Do not hang upside down for more than five or ten minutes. Do not hang upside down if you have chronic health conditions.

It's simpler than it looks: A=P∗CF∗DT{\displaystyle A=P*{\frac {C}{F}}*{\frac {D}{T}}}  "A" is the accrued interest earned. This is the figure you are solving for. "P" is the par value of the bond. "C" is the annual coupon rate or interest rate. For our purposes it should be expressed as a decimal. Simply take the interest rate shown in the bond indenture and divide by 100 to produce the decimal equivalent. For example, a 6% rate would be expressed as 0.06 (6/100).  "F" is the payment frequency (or number of payments per year). This would be 2 for semi-annual payments or 1 for annual ones. "D" is the number of days since your latest coupon payment. "T" is the total number of days in a payment period. This would be 360 for annual payments and 180 for semi-annual ones. Simply put all of the above information into the appropriate places in the equation. Double-check everything to make sure it's expressed correctly.  In the above example, we will use a bond with a par value of $1000 paying a 6% coupon rate semi-annually with a 30/360 DCC. Two months (60 days) have passed since the last payment, so "D" is 60. The total days in the payment period is 180, because payments are made twice per year (360/2=180). The sample equation with all variables included would look like this: A=$1000∗0.062∗60180{\displaystyle A=\$1000*{\frac {0.06}{2}}*{\frac {60}{180}}} This simply means dividing the coupon rate by the payment frequency. This reflects the interest rate earned in each payment period. In the equation, this is C divided by F.  In our example, this calculation would give a rate of 0.03. The equation will look as follows after this calculation: A=$1000∗(0.03)∗60180{\displaystyle A=\$1000*(0.03)*{\frac {60}{180}}} Divide the number of days that have passed since the latest payment by the number of days in your current payment period. This is the final part of the equation. In the example, this calculation would be 60/180, or 0.333. The equation should now look like this: A=$1000∗(0.03)∗(0.333){\displaystyle...

Though technically all vegetables can be steamed, certain vegetables steam better than others, and all of them steam at different rates. Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus, artichokes, and green beans will all turn out nicely and are standard steaming fare. But if you want to get creative, throw in some potatoes or radishes, too! Here's a brief rundown on steaming times:  Asparagus: 7 to 13 minutes, or 4 to 7 minutes if you cut up the spears into short pieces Broccoli: stalks for 8 to 12 minutes, florets for 5 to 7 minutes Carrots: 7 to 12 minutes, depending on their size and how much you cut them up Cauliflower: 5 to 10 minutes for florets Corn on the cob: 7 to 10 minutes Green beans: 5 to 7 minutes  Potatoes, sliced: 8 to 12 minutes Spinach: 3 to 5 minutes Since some veggies take longer to steam than others, it’s a good idea to keep them separate when you cook them. That way, you won’t end up with some vegetables that are limp and soggy, while others are still crunchy and raw in the middle. You can cook different types together, but you may need a way to keep them separate in the steamer so you can easily remove the faster-cooking vegetables as soon as they’re done.  For example, potatoes will take much longer to steam than green beans, so it’s best not to mix them up while you’re steaming them. You can also speed up the cooking time of denser vegetables by cutting them up into smaller pieces.

Do regular back-ups of your information. Get into the habit of making nightly or weekly backups (whatever fits your needs).

The cast page is commonly the second page in a small playbill. Its purpose is to list the names of the players and the names of their characters. Names of the actors are typically listed on the left side of the page, and character names are listed on the right side. If you don’t know this information yourself, you’ll need to find out. Ask the play’s director or casting manager for the list of actor names and the names of the corresponding characters.  The top of the page can simply read “Cast” or “Players.” Beneath this, it’s common to include a line stating “(in order of appearance),” “(in order of speaking),” or “(in alphabetical order),” according to the director’s preference. The Cast Page can be complex, if the director adds or removes extras or inevitable spelling errors crop up. Start working on this page early in the design process. In order to help audience members follow along with the action of the play, it’s common to include a scene list in the playbill. This page is typically structured like an outline: list the numbers or names of scenes, and within each scene, specify the number and name of each individual act, along with any musical numbers. The list of acts and scenes (and musical numbers) may take up two pages, if you’re creating a playbill for a longer play, or one with many acts. Typically, playbills will provide the audience with the names of all the characters who perform in a certain song or musical number. Under “Act 1” and “Scene 1,” list all of the songs vertically. On the right side of the page, list the character names. For example, for a production of Annie Get Your Gun, list “Annie Oakley and Frank Butler” across from a song in which only those two characters perform. If the director requests, include a very brief description of the plot within each act to help the audience follow the action. The playbill could provide a more detailed plot summary, if you’re concerned that your audience members may become confused about which character is which. For example, if you’re creating a...

TL;DR in English: Fill out the Cast Page. Create a list of acts and scenes. List ensemble members within each song. Provide a brief plot summary for each act. Add a page crediting the crew. Add a “Credits” or “Thank You” page.

Use this line as a guide while you perform your cartwheel. You can even use painter’s tape to create a real line across a carpet or a mat. This line should be at least several feet long. Try to stay on the line, as if the line is a balance beam. But do not focus on just the line. Focus on form too.  Make sure the area around your line is free and clear. Avoid practicing cartwheels near walls or pieces of furniture that you might run into. Injuries occur when you bump into something hard. Slightly bend your front leg at the knee and keep your back leg straight. Keep both feet pointing forward parallel to your imaginary line. Hold your arms straight up by your ears.  A common mistake is to start a cartwheel while facing sideways. Make sure you’re facing forwards as you prepare and start for your cartwheel. That is the correct way. Either leg can be your lead leg. Sometimes, however, it's more comfortable to use one leg instead of the other—you can try to figure out which one by doing a series of handstands, some starting with your right leg in front, others with your left. Whichever leading leg feels more natural is the one you should use for your cartwheel.You can determine your leading by watching which leg in splits feels more comfortable. Keep your arms straight by your ears as you lower them down to bring your head and torso down as well. Only lower your arms about halfway to the ground. Bring your back leg up while keeping it straight so your body forms a “T” shape.  This step requires balance. You may need to drop your leg several times before you find a balanced position you can hold. Don’t worry if you’re having trouble balancing. Once you get the hang of the cartwheel, you won’t have to hold this position for very long since it will all become one continuous and natural movement. Put down the arm on the same side of your body as your lead leg first. Then put your other arm down so they're spread about shoulder width apart, similar to the way they would be positioned for a handstand. Place both hands...

TL;DR in English: Picture an imaginary line extending straight in front of you. Lunge forward with your lead leg and raise your arms. Lower your arms towards the ground while raising your back leg. Place your hands on the mat as you turn your body sideways. Push off on your front leg, then bring your legs up in a V shape. Lower your lead leg as you lift the first hand you put down off the mat. Bring your other leg down while lifting your other hand off the mat. Land in a lunge facing in the opposite direction. Keep practicing until the movements feel comfortable.

Gonorrhea presents itself with different symptoms and can occur on different parts of your body. Learning the symptoms of gonorrhea can help you identify them and get treatment for the disease.  You can get gonorrhea infections in your genitalia, rectum, eyes, throat, and possibly even in your joints. Most women have no or mild symptoms of gonorrhea, and they may seem like a bladder or vaginal infection.  The most common symptoms of gonorrhea include: a burning sensation when urinating, discharge from the penis or increased vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding between periods.  Infections in the rectum may cause no symptoms in both men and women, but you may experience discharge, anal itching, soreness, bleeding, or painful bowel movements.  Gonorrhea of the eyes may cause sensitivity to light and you may notice a pus-like discharge from one or both eyes. Gonorrhea of the throat may be accompanied by a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. If you have any symptoms of gonorrhea or suspect exposure, consult your doctor as soon as possible. She can confirm the disease and prescribe a course of treatment.  Your doctor will likely examine your genitals for symptoms and signs of gonorrhea. She may also perform lab or urine tests to confirm this diagnosis.  The most common medications used to treat gonorrhea are an injection of ceftriaxone given in conjunction with an oral antibiotic such as azithromycin or doxycycline.  Your partner should also get tested for gonorrhea. The treatment is the same for both partners if a diagnosis is concerned. If you don’t see a doctor and get treatment for gonorrhea, you increase your risk for serious health conditions. Knowing the risks of not getting treatment may influence your decision to see your doctor and get treatment.  Untreated gonorrhea can cause infertility in both men and women. Gonorrhea can increase your risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, especially HIV/ AIDS. Untreated gonorrhea can cause an infection that spreads to the rest of your body,...
