Trying something new requires courage and may show you a new side of yourself and your partner. You might find that you enjoy something you never knew you could enjoy, or discover something about your partner you’ve never noticed. Adding a new experience can help you feel closer and help you bond over the new experience.  For example, try a boxing class, race go karts, or try a dance class. Use your knowledge from your intimate talks to come up with activities you would both enjoy. Alternatively, you could try something that is special to one of you. A little adrenaline can help you feel more attracted to your partner and increase feelings of intimacy. Try doing something fun and maybe even a little risky together. For example, try skydiving, rock climbing, or zip lining. While you don’t want to be scared for too long, it can be fun to do something with a small fear factor to encourage you and your partner to turn toward each other. Knowing you can rely on your partner for emotional support can help you feel close to them and trust them to be there for you. For example, go to a haunted house or take a walk in the dark together. Take a trip down memory lane and open yourself up to exposing a younger version of yourself to your partner. Looking at pictures of your childhood and the people that were important to you is a very intimate act. When you discuss the things that mattered to you and the events and people that led you to become who you are, you reveal a lot of vulnerabilities to your partner.  Show your partner around your hometown and talk about memories from growing up. Then, ask them to do the same for you. Family stuff can be difficult to discuss, but try to answer all of their questions.

TL;DR in English:


Wear clean, pressed clothes. Have good hygiene. Read about the event before you arrive. Exude self-confidence, but don't come off as arrogant.

The hormones needed to grow big, bulky muscles come with puberty, so do not push a child to lift weights or start training plans when they cannot even reap the rewards. Kids will start to build muscle naturally as teenagers, but kids should be focused less on growing muscles and more on being healthy. Weightlifting, body building, and power lifting can all be very dangerous to a child’s still-developing muscles. Strength training, however, is focused on proper technique and safety instead of lifting the biggest piece of metal you can. Weightlifting as a child can damage a kid’s growth plates, which are pieces of cartilage still turning into bone, injuring a child for life. Make a distinction between increasing muscle strength and “bulking up.” Talk to them about the benefits of having lean muscles such as a healthy weight, improved performance in sports, and higher self-esteem. Let them know that it is impossible to "bulk up" a lot of muscle before puberty. If a child can follow directions well and expresses interest in getting stronger, you can safely begin a light workout plan as early as 7 years old. If a child is ready to play organized sports, they are generally ready to start a strength program. Weightlifting, body building, and power lifting can all be very dangerous to a child’s still-developing muscles. Strength training, however, is focused on proper technique and safety instead of lifting the biggest piece of metal you can.

Some things...

TL;DR in English: Remember that kids are not likely to grow muscles before puberty. Focus your energy on strength training, not weightlifting. Know that a child can start strength training around age 7 or 8. Focus your energy on strength training, not weightlifting. Prioritize proper technique over big muscles. Supervise a child as they learn strength training.

Wear clothes that make you feel confident. This will vary depending on the situation you're in. If you're in a formal setting, you should dress up in a suit or a formal dress and nice shoes. If you're in a more casual environment, wear whatever clothes make you feel confident and comfortable. Regardless of the setting, clean, wrinkle-free clothing will always make a good impression. Make sure that you groom your hair and bathe before you go to a networking or social event. If you have bad breath or you smell bad, people won't want to be around you. Brush your teeth, chew gum, or eat breath mints to prevent bad breath. You can wear underarm deodorant or perfume to smell good. Make sure that you know what the event is and who will be there. This will give you an idea of the type of conversations you might be having and the people you should target. You'll most likely want to talk to people in your field of work or study, or people that can help advance your career. If you can get a hold of a guest list, you should do some research on the web on the people who will be there. Don't put others down, ridicule others, or talk about how you're better than others. This comes off as arrogant and will give off a bad impression. Instead, act like you're sure of yourself and your abilities but don't talk about it constantly.

Class will be much more stressful if you don’t bring everything you’re supposed to. Make sure to bring your textbooks, pencils, homework, paper, and anything else you will need to be prepared.  It’s easier to have fun in class when there is no unnecessary stress. Being prepared for class will also show your teacher your seriousness about the subject, which can improve relations, and in turn, make class more enjoyable for both parties. Bring a few extra pens and paper to lend out to other students who may have forgotten their supplies. Personalizing your supplies and locker can make class more enjoyable. Cover your folders with stickers or drawings. Bring cute erasers for the tops of your pencils.  Put pictures of your friends and family into binders. Add any decoration that you enjoy looking at, as long as it’s allowed in the classroom. You can also ask your teacher if it’s possible to help decorate the classroom for holidays like Halloween and Valentine’s Day. It’s not likely that this is something you can do regularly, but occasionally bringing things to pass out to class can liven the mood. First, ask the permission of your teacher. If it’s okay with them, you can bake cookies to pass out to your classmates, or bring another snack that can be enjoyed by everyone. Coordinate with your friends to take turns bringing treats to class.  Ask your classmates if anyone has any food allergies before choosing a treat to bring. Bring healthy snacks like banana bread and popcorn cups.

Feed geese leafy greens. Feed geese other acceptable foods. Do not feed geese processed foods. Do not feed geese dairy products. Feed geese bite-sized portions.

Crack the eggs you wish to freeze and pour the whites into a freezer-safe airtight container. Sift out the yolks—these should be placed in a separate container. Take care not to puncture the yolks while cracking and sifting the eggs.  Protect separated egg yolks by refrigerating them in a bowl cold water.  Storing the white and yolks separately will make them easier to use as needed in culinary projects. Alternately, you can just as easily freeze whole eggs without the need to separate them first. Simply whip the eggs until they’re completely integrated, then transfer them to the freezing container. When properly frozen, whole eggs will usually stay fresh for up to a year. Freezing eggs whole can be a more space-effective storage solution. Eggs yolks have a tendency to harden into a thick gel when frozen. You can avoid this by mixing in a small amount of salt or sugar, which will keep the yolks from congealing. These additives make it more difficult for the proteins in the yolks to bond and solidify in low temperatures.  Generally, you should aim to incorporate about ⅛  teaspoon of salt and 1 ½ teaspoons of sugar for every ¼ cup of eggs (about four large eggs).  Use salt for eggs that are destined for savory dishes and sugar for those that will go into desserts and other sweet confections. As previously mentioned, the container you choose to freeze eggs should be one with a lid that makes it completely airtight. Otherwise, moisture may enter or escape from the container, potentially ruining the eggs. A lidded piece of Tupperware or similar container will work best for this purpose.  If you happen to run low on spare storage containers, you can portion the yolks or white into an ordinary ice cube tray.  Freezer bags aren’t recommended, as they can easily burst and create a mess. Should you be forced to use a freezer bag, make sure it’s securely sealed and that you’ve pressed out all excess air before closing it.

TL;DR in English: Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the eggs together. Add a pinch of sugar or salt. Freeze in an airtight container.

The goose’s natural diet is heavy in tender grasses plants. In winter months, especially, the vegetation geese need for a healthy diet is rare.  Giving them spinach, lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, and chard will keep them happy and healthy.  Geese may find other vegetables like carrots, green beans, and celery amenable as well. Veggies like broccoli and potatoes make geese happy too, but may need to be steamed and fed in a warm (not hot) state before the geese can digest them. Whole grain breads, whole oats, lentils, brown rice, small seeds, and split peas are some of the foods geese enjoy.  Additionally, unprocessed popcorn (free of additives, salt, and butter) and small seeds like sunflower seeds make good snacks for geese.  You can also feed geese foods that occur naturally in their environment such as small fish, mollusks, and crustaceans.  Assorted vegetable/fruit scraps are also welcome. Geese do not like alfalfa and cannot eat raw potato peelings. If we, as humans, shouldn’t eat it, geese definitely shouldn’t eat it.  Things like white bread, candy, junk food, fast food, chips, and anything with high levels of salt, sugar, and fat should not be fed to geese. Young geese (less than 6 weeks old) who are given high-protein or carb-heavy foods regularly may develop angel wing, a condition which causes their wings to develop in an unnatural way and inhibits their ability to fly. Avoid feeding geese milk, yogurt, or baked goods containing milk.  Geese are lactose intolerant.  Consumption of dairy may lead to diarrhea and dehydration, which could in turn lead to death. Do not give food to geese in portions too large for them to swallow.  Their throats are much smaller than ours and they have no teeth with which to chew their food, so it is important that you provide food in bits no bigger than one to two square inches.

Doing so will help you fully appreciate how far your wires will need to stretch, allowing you to adjust the speakers as needed before you connect everything. If you're connecting more than two speakers, you'll need to connect the speakers to each other with speaker wire before proceeding. Skip this step if you're connecting a soundbar. To attach your speakers to the receiver:  Connect the white RCA cable to the white port on the back of the left speaker, then plug it into a white port on the back of the receiver. Connect the red RCA cable to the red port on the back of the right speaker, then plug it into a red port below or next to the white port on the back of the receiver. If you're setting up a soundbar or subwoofer, you'll need to attach the power cable that came with the speaker(s) to the back, side, or front of the speaker in question and then plug the other end into a power source (e.g., a wall outlet or a surge protector). Plug one end of the receiver's optical or HDMI cable into the appropriately labeled port on the back of the receiver, then plug the other end of the cable into the optical or HDMI port on your TV.  If your receiver is old enough, you may end up using RCA cables to attach it to the TV instead. If you're using an adapter (e.g., for a headphone jack), plug it into your TV before connecting the other ends of the cables here. This can be a wall socket or a surge protector. Make sure that the power cable is firmly attached to both the power outlet and the receiver. Your stereo system is now all set up. You may have to change your TV's audio output to use the speakers.

This may mean that you need medical intervention immediately to treat the infection or prevent you from losing too much blood. Signs to watch for include:  Sudden, extreme swelling at the site where the catheter entered your body. It is important that an active infection get treated quickly to prevent it from spreading to your heart and other vital organs. Bleeding that does not stop. If lying down and pressing on the wound for several minutes does not cause the wound to clot and stop bleeding, get immediate medical attention. The emergency medical responders will be able to help you stop the bleeding. If you have the following signs you should speak to a doctor immediately. He may recommend that you have someone drive you to the emergency room. Any of the following symptoms indicate that your wound needs care:  Numbness or tingling in the arm or leg where the catheter was inserted. Increasing bruising. This would suggest that you might have bleeding under the skin. Swelling or drainage at the site of the wound. Fever. The doctor will probably want you to wash the site daily to prevent infections. You may have a bruise, slight swelling, pinkness, and / or a small lump about a half an inch in diameter at the place where the catheter was inserted. Your doctor may recommend:  Changing the bandage daily. If you require more than a simple Band Aid, the nurse in the hospital will teach you how to do it before you are discharged.

This project can easily get messy, so make sure to protect the area around you. You can use a sheet of plastic, a canvas drop cloth, a piece of cardboard, or even an old sheet to catch any spills. Some good areas to paint include outdoors, on cement or blacktop, or on a flat surface indoors, such as a table or hardwood floor. For your base, choose a stretched canvas in whatever size you would like. To achieve the smooth, blended look of an ombre painting, you'll also need some flat, wide-bristle brushes. Though you can adjust your brush sizes based on the size of your canvas, 2 in (5.1 cm) or 3 in (7.6 cm) brushes often work well with most sizes.  For example, you could start by experimenting on small canvases, which include 4 by 6 inches (10 by 15 cm) or 5 by 7 inches (13 by 18 cm). Medium-sized canvases are perfect for hanging and displaying. They can range from 8 by 10 inches (20 by 25 cm) to 12 by 16 inches (30 by 41 cm). Large canvases make for eye-catching statement pieces. They often range in size from 18 by 24 inches (46 by 61 cm) to 36 by 48 inches (91 by 122 cm). Make sure to use acrylic paint that you can paint with straight out of the tube. Once you've chosen the 2 paint colors you'll be using, pour them next to each other onto your palette. Leave some space for mixing the 2 colors together. Adjust the amounts of paint depending on the size of canvas you'll be using.  For example, if you're painting an 8 by 10 inches (20 by 25 cm) canvas, you'll likely need to squeeze out a 2 inches (5.1 cm) circle of each paint color on your palette.  For a simple, authentic ombre effect, only use 2 colors. Adding in extra colors makes the mixing complicated, and the result won't have a true ombre effect. You can use a cheap plastic palette, paper plate, square of glass, or ceramic plate for a palette. Keep in mind that a disposable palette can make the clean-up process a lot easier!

Allow time to pass before responding to someone you feel is offending you. If you are too easily offended, it has probably become an automatic response for you. This means that there is no time between feeling offended and responding as if you’ve been hurt. So, make time to pause and question whether or not you want to take offense.  If the emotions are running too high to just pause, try counting to ten in your head. Learning and practicing mindfulness exercises regularly will make this step easy as pie. Mindfulness involves learning how to strategically detach from strong emotions so that more measured responses can be formulated.  One mindfulness exercise is to spend time focusing on your breath. When you attend to the sensation of your breath coming and going, you gain a stronger connection to your feelings rather than pesky, automatic thoughts. When letting go of a habitual response like taking offense, there’s no use trying to shut out your knee-jerk thoughts. Instead of ignoring what your mind is telling you, listen to it. That way you can determine for yourself whether or not to purse the offense and make a scene.  If someone says that your haircut might not be the best style for you, your head might be screaming “Oh no she didn’t! Give her a piece of your mind!” Hear this anger and feel your urge to lash out in response. This way you can see that as just one of many possible ways that you could respond. It’s also important to see how angry you feel inside so that you can gauge your next move. For example, if you feel enraged then you may not want to respond humorously (since humor in your state might not be perceived as humor at all). Being certain of our interpretation of what a person means or where she is coming from can turn anything into an offense. Consider great works of art; their beauty comes from the possibility of many different interpretations. No interpretation is right, but each one has the power to make us feel differently.  Imagine that an acquaintance just told you that they decided...

Each person’s experience with grief is different. That means that no level of expertise will equip you to tell the person in mourning how he should respond. Your role is to provide company, listen, and validate their feelings.  Don’t tell, listen. Constantly reinforce that their response is normal and natural. Encourage them to use their own skills to cope with grief. If they are an artist, encourage them to use this ability to express his feelings. Help them understand and recognize their feelings. Help them develop a schedule that allows them to manage their daily tasks while reducing unnecessary outside stressors. Remember that your job is to be there, not to take away the pain. That is impossible. Your job is to support them, not to try to fix them. It is important to make it clear that you understand the person's feelings. Be sure that they know that such feelings are natural and that people experience grief differently. It might be useful to explain some of the common responses to grief and make it clear that they are natural.  Those who experience instrumental grief focus on problem solving and try to control emotional responses. Those who experience intuitive grieving have intense emotional experiences that might include depression and thoughts about mortality.  It is common for people to blame themselves, feel anger, hopelessness, anxiety, and withdrawal from the world. Don’t ask leading questions or “yes” and “no” questions.

Paint and stain won’t adhere to a glossy or dirty base, so it is important to sand down the cabinets prior to painting them. If you have a block sander or an electric sander, now would be the time to use it. Use 100-grit sandpaper to smooth down the entire surface of each cabinet; sand until the wood looks dull/matte. As you’ll surely find out, sanding can be messy business. Before moving onto the fun part of the project, it is necessary to clean off the newly-sanded cabinets. Use a damp, lint-free cloth to wipe down the surface of each of the cabinets until there is no sawdust in sight. . If you decided to go for a base color or stain other than the original color, now is the time to apply it. Paint on a layer of paint or stain to each of the cabinets, and wait the package-directed curing time for it to dry. Follow this up with a second coat of paint or stain to finish the job. Wait for the paint to dry completely until moving on to the antiquing process. The moment you’ve been waiting for: antiquing your cabinets. Dip your paintbrush into the antiquing glaze and wipe off the excess stain, to prevent dripping. Brush over the parts of the cabinet you want the antique effect applied to, using a very light coat. Then, use a clean, dry, lint-free rag to wipe off the stain. The result should be some areas of the wood appearing worn and old, without looking fake or dark. When you brush on the glaze, go in the direction of the grain of the wood. Repeat this process of brushing on antiquing glaze and wiping it off, over all of your cabinets. Try to add equal amounts of the antiquing glaze to each cabinets, so that you maintain uniformity across all the wood. Follow the package directions for drying time. . Although you don’t have to, some people like to add a distressed effect to their cabinets to make them appear even more worn and ‘vintage’.

Grind up a handful of citrus peels. Use your body language to flirt. Make frequent eye contact. Brush the person’s cheek. Grab some gum or mints.

Use citrus fruit peels. Use baking soda and vinegar. Rinse with a little bleach. Use Borax.

A French kiss shouldn’t just come out of nowhere. It should happen naturally at a time when two people are sharing an intimate and private moment together, and that means being physically close. To help set the mood, start by finding a way to be alone with the person so you can get close without other people hanging around and interrupting.   If you two are at a party, go for a walk or find somewhere quiet that you can talk. If you're hanging out together, sit down beside the person on a couch, chair, or bench. You can tell your partner that you're interested without saying anything at all. Your partner will subconsciously pick up on your subtle cues, and this will indicate your attraction and desire. You can drop these hints by:  Parting your lips slightly and licking them Smoothing down your hair or clothing Raising your eyebrows slightly as your partner talks Touching your face frequently Orienting your entire body toward your partner Smile a lot Eye contact is another powerful element of body language, and when two people are physically close to each other and make frequent eye contact, this will raise the level of intimacy between them. Frequent eye contact will indicate your attraction, and help you assess whether the chemistry you feel is reciprocated.   For instance, if your partner keeps looking away instead of making eye contact, it’s possible that person is just nervous, but it might also be a sign of lack of interest. On the other hand, if your partner keeps locking eyes with you, this is a good sign that whatever you're feeling is definitely mutual! This gentle and sensual touch will establish a physical connection between the two of you, and make the kiss much easier. Make sure you gage how the person reacts:   Leaning in or pressing into your hand is a sign of interest that says your gesture is welcome. Pulling away is a sign that physical contact isn't welcome. Don’t forget to offer some to your partner. Not only will this ensure fresh breath and a pleasant kiss, but it’s also another great...

A great natural way to freshen up your garbage disposal and leave your kitchen smelling great is to grind up a handful of citrus peels. Any citrus fruit will do -- orange, lemon, grapefruit, lime. The citric acid in the peels will clean the blades and eliminate odors. Afterwards, add some spice, rosemary oil, or lavender oil for an even fresher scent. Baking soda and vinegar make a great odor-busting combo. Sprinkle half a cup of baking soda into the drain, then gently pour a cup of white vinegar on top. The mixture will fizzle and bubble. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse it down with very hot or boiling water, with the garbage disposal running. Bleach is very effective at killing germs and will quickly freshen up your drain., however you don't want to use too much of it as it can also harden any grease in your disposal unit, making it difficult to remove.  Dilute a tablespoon of liquid chlorine bleach in a gallon of water and slowly pour it into your garbage disposal. Allow the bleach to sit there for a minute or two, then turn on the hot water tap and leave it running for several minutes to flush away the bleach. Borax is a safe and natural cleaning product which will effectively clean the garbage disposal and minimize odors. Simply put 3 or 4 tablespoon of Borax into the garbage disposal and allow to sit for about an hour. Then flush away with very hot or boiling water.

There are many signs and symptoms of scabies. The most common and earliest one is intense itching.  The itching represents sensitization, a type of allergic reaction, to the adult female mites, their eggs, and their waste. Itching tends to be more severe at night and has the potential to interrupt the sleep of infested individuals. Along with the itching, you may develop a rash. The rash also represents an allergic reaction to the mite. The rash is typically described as pimple-like with surrounding inflammation and redness.  Mites prefer to burrow into the skin in certain parts of the body.  The most common places that adults can have an itchy rash associated with scabies are the hands, especially the webbing between the fingers, the skin folds of the wrist, elbow, or knee, the buttocks, the waist, the penis, the skin around the nipples, the armpits, the shoulder blades, and the breasts.  In children, the most common sites of infestation include the scalp, face, neck, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. When you have scabies, tiny burrows are sometimes visible on the skin. These appears as tiny raised and crooked grayish-white or skin-colored lines on the surface of the skin. They are usually a centimeter or more in length. Burrows may be difficult to find as most people have only 10 to 15 mites in an average infestation. The intense itching caused by scabies sometimes leads to sores on the skin. The sores are at high risk for infection, which is often a complication of scabies. The sores are most often infected with bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, or beta-hemolytic streptococci, which predominate on the skin.   These bacteria can also lead to inflammation of the kidneys and sometimes sepsis, which is a life-threatening bacterial infection of the blood.  To avoid this, try to be gentle on your skin and do not scratch it. If you can't help yourself, consider wearing mittens or wrapping your fingertips with band-aids to keep yourself from damaging the skin. Keep your nails trimmed short. Signs...

If you are expecting a layover, bring a book or magazine with you. If you find yourself book-less, check out one of the airport shops and purchase something there. Choose something you find engrossing; getting lost in the pages will pass the time more quickly. Have a few options on hand so you can switch back and forth when you feel like it. For instance, buy one of your favorite magazines to read when you need breaks from a dense novel. Switching gears occasionally may prevent you from getting bored with even the most thrilling of books. Getting some shut-eye is a great way to pass the time, especially during overnight layovers. Even a quick power nap can leave you feeling refreshed. If you’re traveling with other people, ask them to watch your stuff while you sleep. Do this with caution if you’re traveling by yourself, since airport theft does happen.  Some airports have designated sleeping areas with comfy chairs where you can secure your belongings. If you’re truly exhausted and facing a long layover, check out the room pricing at the airport hotel. Some airports even offer rooms that you can rent out for a few hours at a time. If you are between one long flight and another, walk around the airport and restore circulation to your legs. Many airports include public exhibits. Otherwise, you can window-shop, read regional billboards, watch airplanes, or simply look around and locate your next flight’s gate. Get some fresh air if you can. Most airports have restaurants and snack bars, even inside security. A meal will give you energy, and it will taste better and likely cost less on the ground than it would in the air. It's easy to get dehydrated when you're traveling, so grab a bottle of water or another of your favorite beverages. Find out what your airport offers before grabbing something from the closest fast food chain. Some have extremely nice restaurants with gourmet offerings.

Just like people, dogs have different stages of sleep: short wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM). REM is considered to be the “sleep of body,” when the body is relaxed but the mind is very active. Dogs dream during REM.  SWS is known as the “sleep of the mind,” when brain activities have decreased, but muscle tone is still present.  It would be somewhat difficult to wake up your dog during the REM sleep stage, but he would probably wake up more easily during SWS. Dogs tend to start dreaming about 20 minutes after they fall asleep. Rapid eye movement is one of the most obvious signs that your dog is dreaming. If you look closely enough, you may be able to see your dog’s eyes moving under his eyelids. This movement is due to your dog actually seeing his dream images as if they were happening in real life. Your dog’s eyes may be fully or partially closed when he is dreaming. Quite naturally, dogs dream about typical dog activities (e.g., running,digging a hole and fighting with an imaginary burglar). His body movements when he is dreaming will likely reflect what is happening in his dream. For example, if he is running and/or chasing after something in his dream, you’ll probably see all of his legs moving in a running motion.  Your dog’s movements will likely be gentle and intermittent when he is dreaming, even if he is ‘running.’ Your dog may also have occasional muscle twitches during his dream. These twitches will look jerky and will not last long. He will quickly fall back into a more relaxed state.  Even though your dog may move occasionally while he is dreaming, his overall body posture will suggest that he is relaxed and at peace. Your dog may begin to make various noises when he is dreaming. For example, he may bark, whine, or cry, depending on what he is dreaming about. Usually, these vocalizations will be brief and infrequent, and will not wake him from his dream.  Your dog may also breathe differently during a dream. For example, he may start to breathe rapidly or have brief periods when he...

Suede tends to get worn down when soap or water are introduced into the material, which means that you'll need a tougher brush to extract grime and dust. Opt for a clean, strong stiff-bristled brush. Hold the brush firmly in your dominant hand and use quick back-and-forth strokes to begin brushing your saddle. Brush each section that you wish to clean 5-10 times before moving to a different part of the saddle. Flick the brush away from you to avoid getting residue in your eyes as you knock it out. You can sit down and brace the saddle in your nondominant hand if you don't have a stable table or saddle stand to brush it on. Hold the cloth in your dominant hand and rub in circular motions across the entirety of your saddle. Check your cloth halfway through the cleaning process to see if it has become discolored at all. If it has, flip your towel over and use the opposite side for the remainder of the cleaning.  Wipe your saddle down again with a different cloth. Continue this process until your cloth is no longer getting dirty when you wipe with it. Avoid conditioning your suede saddle. Suede typically breaks down if you apply a finish. Don't use any oils, conditioners, or lacquers to your suede, as you'll risk permanently damaging your saddle.

TL;DR in English: Use a dry stiff-bristled plastic or brass brush. Flick dirt and dust off of your saddle in quick strokes. Use a dry cloth to wipe your suede down.

Trampolines are great to practice on, as are gymnastics floors, which have springs built in underneath them. It can be helpful to practice on a tumble track while you're learning, which has more give than a gymnastics floor but isn't quite as bouncy as a regular trampoline. Use these softer surfaces to practice good technique and build more confidence while you perfect your roundoff.  If you’re new to gymnastics or to the roundoff, work with a spotter until you’re comfortable. You can even buy mats to use at home if you want to practice when you’re not at the gym. As you prepare for the roundoff, try visualizing yourself moving through the motions and pick a spot on the floor or trampoline where you’d like to land. This can help you get the right momentum and practice with good form as you begin the roundoff.  A roundoff looks just like a cartwheel but you land on two feet instead of one at a time. You generally need more power for a roundoff than for a cartwheel, and you should push off from the floor with your arms, unlike a cartwheel. If you aren’t sure of what the movement is supposed to look like, watch some videos online or ask for a demonstration from a peer. You need to gather momentum for the movement, so run forward a few steps. Swing your arms up so they’re by your ears and keep them as straight as possible. It can help to lead with your dominant foot and end your run with your dominant foot before you move into the roundoff. Try not to run too far before you start your roundoff, as this can actually make you lose some energy and momentum. This motion is kind of like doing a cartwheel where your body is turned slightly sideways. Move so that you plant your dominant hand on the ground first. Move with forward-motion to place your hands on the ground rather than jumping into the roundoff. Plant your hands firmly on the floor and briefly push up into a handstand while you flip yourself over. Position your body so that your shoulders, arms, and wrists are parallel to the ground.  Keep your legs as...

TL;DR in English: Use a trampoline or springy surface when you’re first learning the roundoff. Stand with your feet together and your arms at your sides. Lunge or run forward and raise your arms above your head. Reach your arms towards the ground as you hurdle forward. Bring your legs up over your body as your hands hit the floor. Land with your knees bent then jump into a straight-standing position. Practice jumping up after you land the roundoff.

The first step in attaching your Holter monitor is to clean your skin very well with soap and alcohol where the adhesive pads will attach to your body. Note that some of them have a gel to affix, and some of them have self-stick pads. If your monitor comes with cleansing wipes, use those to clean the area every time you put new sticky pads on. Put the adhesive pads on your body as directed — this usually means three pads on your chest and one near the bottom of your rib cage on the lower, left-hand side. Secure the electrical leads to the pads according to the instructions. Typically, the leads will snap into place on the adhesive pads, but you may have to use a sticky surgical tape instead. There are various types and brands of Holter monitors, so instructions for activating the device may vary; however, for most Holter monitors, you won’t need to do anything except make sure the battery is charged to maintain functionality.  If the battery is charged, the machine automatically turns on. Make sure you see the activity lights flashing on the monitor itself so you know that it is working properly. It is important to live your life normally while wearing the monitor so that your cardiologist can get a genuine representation of your heart activity in your normal life; however, you will not be permitted to get the monitor wet, which means you will have to remove it when you shower. Be sure to reattach the monitor as soon as you are done showering and have dried your body off. It is important to avoid all activities that would get the monitor wet while you’re wearing it. Don’t shower with the monitor, avoid sweaty exercises, don’t go swimming, etc. You will need to make sure the battery for the monitor remains charged. Your cardiologist will probably give you an extra battery so that you can always have a fully charged one that you swap out as needed. This way, you can always have one battery charging while the other is being used.  Typically, you will be given a battery charging port that the battery simply slips...

Say its chosen name excessively. Stick to one name. Purchase an engraved collar with its new name.

You can search "grow zone" or “USDA hardiness zone” on Google and choose a website. Type in your zip code, and the grow zone calculator will give you a number and/or a letter, like "6b." Most cherries grow in climate zones 4-8. Research sweet cherries if you are interested in growing them. Sweet cherries are harder to grow because they require a dry climate that isn't too hot and particularly well-drained soil.  In the United States, cherries grow well west of the Rocky Mountains in low-humidity zones. Sweet cherries vary in type, including Bing, Black Tartarian, Emperor Francis, Kristin, and Stella. Tart cherries also prefer well-drained soil, though they can withstand climates with more rain and greater humidity. Tart cherries tend to produce smaller trees than sweet cherries, which makes them easier to maintain. Research tart cherries to see if they are a better option for your environment.  Tart cherries are great to cook with, and their tartness can be rather mild. Tart cherries come in Meteor, Montmorency, and North Star varieties. Standard-sized trees tend to be more resilient and yield more cherries. They are larger in size and have a longer lifespan than dwarf trees. Dwarf trees are smaller and take up less space. They also yield fruit at a younger age, about 2 - 3 years old.  Both sizes are popular for growing cherries, and you should select the best size to suit your climate zone and growing preferences. Dwarf trees are more sensitive because they have a less vigorous root system. For sweet cherries, standard sized trees grow to about 20–40 feet (6.1–12.2 m) tall, and dwarf trees grow to 8–15 feet (2.4–4.6 m). For tart cherries, standard adult trees grow about 20 feet (6.1 m) tall, and dwarf trees reach around 8–12 feet (2.4–3.7 m)

Use it when you feed, pet, cuddle, and praise your cat. Help it learn its name by using it more than feels natural. Cats are very reward-motivated, so say its name while you give it treats.  Cats are often very independent, so don’t feel discouraged if it doesn't always come when you call. It may just be playing hard-to-get. Try to make sure that your cat has only positive associations with its name. Don’t yell its name when it's done something wrong, but sweetly say its name when it's done something right. If you have decided that its full name must be Sir William Fluffy-Butt but you know that you will often call it Willy, get it used to hearing Willy. If you alternate names every time you call it, it’ll likely be confused. If it's confused, it will probably start ignoring you all together. It’s not at all uncommon for a cat to give its human caretakers the cold shoulder, so help your odds by making sure it knows its name. This is the final, and most official, step in the naming process. It can wear its new jewelry with pride, and it is your cats official introduction to the world. Even better, this new identification can be used if your sweet feline family member gets lost. Its collar can help to bring it safely back home.

You may want to buy a used Apple computer in decent physical condition that is not currently in disrepair, and that does not contain excessive signs of wear. If you are buying a laptop, examine the keys and trackpad for signs of fading or rubbed away letters, numbers, and symbols, which can indicate excessive use. You may not want to purchase a used Apple computer running on an outdated operating system, unless it has enough memory to support an upgraded operating system. If upgrading the operating system is required, verify that the computer's hardware can handle the upgrade in terms of memory and processing speed. For example, if at least 2 additional gigabytes (GB) of memory are required to run a newer operating system, verify that you can install at least 2 GB of memory on the machine. The installation disc is necessary if for some reason you need to reinstall the Apple's operating system and software. Although refurbished computers may have been returned to the manufacturer at one point, Apple technicians have either repaired the computers, replaced non-working parts, or upgraded the computer to return it to a fully operational state. You may want to buy a used computer that has only had 1 previous owner, or that has not been moved frequently between locations. There may be no issues with the computer if the owner is upgrading to a newer model; however, if they are selling the computer because it frequently experienced issues, you may not want to buy that particular computer.

Self educating yourself in religion is an important way to understanding the deepest beliefs and feelings of humanity. Aim to learn all that you can about every religion and show all faiths respect. Research unearths many answers but many people do not have the patience or tenacity to be good researchers. This skill is a great one to develop, as it will empower you to find out many things, from the simplest (such as what time the library stays open until on the weekends) to the most complex (why do stars die?). But all the in between stuff matters too, the things that make the wheels of everyday life turn, such as resolving neighbor disputes over property lines, knowing how to get the local government to fix broken playground equipment and learning how to get an audience with your government representative. Knowing how to research the answers will give you a lot of handy answers to those questions that the curiosity you've been asked to cultivate with bring forth. When researching or finding out something new, if you ever have the question 'why' or something related to that to a particular subject, then search up on it.

Brown Banded cockroaches are a very small and very common cockroach. They are not a problem for you to find. If you are having a problem with Brown Banded cockroaches, you may want to consider a different type of cockroach. Brown Banded cockroaches are a very common cockroach

Assess the size of the bug. Look for a yellowish brown band. Consider the climate you live in. Check for any water source nearby. Determine if the cockroach can fly.

Look for a place with good ventilation where burns and spills won't matter. Put on gloves and goggles to protect yourself. An old baking pan works well for this purpose. If you're making more than 1 soft plastic lure, you can arrange several molds on the pan. This will make it easier to remove the soft plastic lure from the mold after it cools and solidifies. Be aware that the cooking spray may affect the smell of the lure. If you fill the cup fuller than this, you may have difficulty pouring the resin into the mold once it's heated. If you're melting down old soft plastic lures, put them in the cup in place of the resin. As the resin heats, it will first thicken and then thin, changing from a milky white to clear. Microwave the resin in 30 second increments until it is clear. Stop heating at once if you see smoke. The cup may be hot, so use a pot holder and exercise caution. Add the color drop by drop until you have the shade you want. Stir the resin slowly as you add color. Use only non-metal glitter to avoid starting a fire in the microwave. As with color, add scents and flavorings gradually in small amounts. This allows the color, flavoring, scents, and glitter to be incorporated into the resin.

TL;DR in English: Choose a suitable work space and put on protective gear. Put your mold on a heat-resistant surface. Spray the mold cavities with cooking spray. Fill a microwave-safe measuring cup half-full of plastic resin. Microwave the resin in 30 second increments until it is clear. Remove the cup of resin/plastic from the microwave. Add a few drops of your desired color. Add scents, flavorings, and glitter if desired. Return the cup to the microwave and heat on high for 30 seconds.

Brown Banded cockroaches grow to be about 5/8ths of an inch long. They are one of the smallest varieties of cockroaches. To put that size in perspective, a Brown Banded cockroach is a little bit smaller than the size of an American penny (not including the antennae of course). Contrary to what you might think, the Brown Banded cockroach is actually named for a yellow band that can be found on the bug. Look for two bands--there should be a very thick one at the bottom of the abdomen, and a thinner band running across the mid-abdomen area. Brown Banded cockroaches generally only live in hotter, drier climates. If you are having a cockroach problem but live in a humid, mid or low temperature climate, you are probably dealing with another kind of cockroach. Brown Banded cockroaches detest the water--as such, they are not often found near any sort of water source. If you have found a cockroach living near your sink or toilet, it is more than likely not a Brown Banded cockroach. Unlike the German cockroach, the Brown Banded cockroach will fly off if disturbed. If you notice a small cockroach flying through the air, chances are it is a Brown Banded cockroach.

You can start determining if your cat's overweight by looking at him. Examining your cat from above and from the side should help you determine if his weight is a problem.  Look at your cat from above. The area between his ribs and hips should move inward slightly, creating a clearly defined waist. If there is no waist or if his waist is wider than either his hips or ribs, your cat may be overweight.  You should also look at your cat from the side. Cats who are at a healthy weight have what is called an abdominal tuck. This means the area just behind their ribs should have a smaller diameter than the chest. If you do not see an abdominal tuck, your cat may be overweight. You can further examine your cat by touching him. Run your hand over your cat's sides. You should be able to easily feel his ribs. If you cannot feel his ribs, or have to push down to do so, your cat may be overweight. You should also be able to feel bones near the base of your cat's tail. While there should be a small layer of fat protecting this area, you should be able to feel the outlines of his bones without much effort. If you cannot easily feel bones here, your cat may be overweight. A cat's spine, hips, and shoulders should also be fairly bony. While very visible and pointy bones may indicate your cat is underweight, in a healthy cat you should be able to easily detect hip bones, spine bones, and shoulder bones through gentle petting. If you're unable to feel these bones due to layers of fat, your cat is overweight. Many cats have a saggy bit of flesh that hangs down between their back legs. If your cat is otherwise bony, this small pouch of skin is unlikely to be an indication of a weight problem. This skin flap is referred to as the "primordial pouch" and its purpose is to protect the stomach during fights with other cats. Cats often kick with their back legs when angry, and this flap of skin protects your cat from such attacks. Many cats will develop a primordial pouch at some point in their lives and it is not necessarily an...

Blow-drying can make your hair softer, shinier, and more manageable. Avoid blow-drying your hair every day, and do not blow your hair for more than a few minutes. Heat-based products like blow dryers and flat irons can substantially damage your hair, leading to dryness. Consider getting a professional blow-out at a salon. This may be best if you constantly flat-iron or blow-dry your hair, as it is a less damaging way to get your hair straight. Some of the blow-outs may cause damage to your hair, so make sure that you go to a well-reviewed professional to minimize damage. Ditch your brush with plastic bristles for one with natural bristles, such as a boar's hair brush. The natural bristles will distribute your hair's natural oils over your hair from roots to tips, ensuring that it stays soft and shiny. The plastic-bristle brush can actually strip your hair of its oils, making it greasy, stringy, and broken. The grease results from your hair trying to replace its natural oils.

TL;DR in English: Blow-dry your hair, but only sparingly. Consider using a brush with natural bristles.

Early voting is a process that allows a voter to cast their ballot in a given election before Election Day. Some states actually call the process “early voting,” while others use “in-person absentee voting,” meaning that you cast an absentee ballot by physically showing up at a designated location.  Most states allow some form of early voting. Find out your state's early voting rules and dates at https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/. Note that while some states don't technically have early voting, they may allow certain people to vote absentee in-person before the election. In Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah and Hawaii, all elections are conducted by mail. The state mails all registered voters a ballot for each election, rendering early voting and absentee voting procedures less relevant. Voters in these states who need to vote in-person in advance of election day may still be able to do so and should contact their local election office for more information. Absentee voting also allows voters to cast a ballot before Election Day, but involves mailing a ballot instead of voting in person. Absentee voting was originally designed only to serve voters who would actually be absent from their precincts on Election Day, but has gradually expanded in many states to cover a variety of circumstances. If your state does not allow early voting, it may allow absentee voting with or without an excuse. Because this method of voting allows the voter to cast a ballot before election day, it can be considered a type of early voting, but they are typically distinguished from one another. Additionally, a few states technically don't offer early voting but allow for in-person absentee voting if you meet certain criteria. You can see what your state’s rules are by going to https://www.vote.org/absentee-voting-rules/. Even if your state allows early voting, some decisions about early voting may be made at the county level.

You can calculate the average acceleration of an object over a period of time based on its velocity (its speed traveling in a specific direction), before and after that time. To do this you need to know equation for acceleration: a = Δv / Δt where a is acceleration, Δv is the change in velocity, and Δt is the amount of time it took for that change to occur.  The unit for acceleration is meters per second per second or m/s2. Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it has both a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude is the total amount of acceleration whereas the direction is the way in which the object is moving. If it is slowing down the acceleration will be negative. You can further define Δv and Δt:  Δv = vf - vi and  Δt = tf - ti where vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity, tf is the ending time, and ti is the starting time.  Because acceleration has a direction, it is important to always subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity. If you reverse them, the direction of your acceleration will be incorrect. Unless otherwise stated in the problem, the starting time is usually 0 seconds. First write down your equation and all of the given variables. The equation is a = Δv / Δt = (vf - vi)/(tf - ti). Subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity, then divide the result by the time interval. The final result is your average acceleration over that time.  If the final velocity is less than the initial velocity, acceleration will turn out to be a negative quantity or the rate at which an object slows down. Example 1: A race car accelerates uniformly from 18.5 m/s to 46.1 m/s in 2.47 seconds. What is its average acceleration?  Write the equation: a = Δv / Δt = (vf - vi)/(tf - ti)  Define the variables: vf = 46.1 m/s, vi = 18.5 m/s, tf = 2.47 s, ti = 0 s. Solve: a = (46.1 – 18.5)/2.47 = 11.17 meters/second2.   Example 2: A biker traveling at 22.4 m/s comes to halt in 2.55 s after applying brakes. Find his deceleration.  Write the equation: a = Δv / Δt = (vf - vi)/(tf - ti) ...

TL;DR in English: Define the equation for average acceleration. Understand the variables. Use the formula to find acceleration.

Chances are, you’ve got plenty of items sitting around on the shelves of your pantry just waiting to be put to use. A bottle of ordinary cooking oil like olive or canola oil, for example, will bust up even the most difficult stickers. You could even use peanut butter or mayonnaise to achieve the same effect!  A tablespoon of baking soda can up the unsticking power of oil-based products.  These types of substances tend to work best on smooth, hard surfaces that aren't at risk of becoming darkened or discolored by oils. Use a clean cloth to soak up a quarter-sized amount of oil and rub it over the entire surface. If the product is especially thick, it may help to pick up a flexible utensil like a rubber spatula or brush that will allow you to spread it around exactly where you need it. Avoid pouring thinner oils directly onto the surface. It can be easy to oversaturate it this way. Little by little, it will coat the bonds between the adhesive and the sticking surface and the sticker will begin to slip. The longer you allow it to take effect, the better the outcome will be. Wipe the excess oil away with a paper towel when time is up.  Newer stickers may even come unfastened before you ever touch them. If you used a thicker oily substance, such as peanut butter, you may need to use a heavier towel or washcloth to expose the sticker underneath. Scrape up the outer edge with your fingernail, peeling it back gradually until it’s free. A soft kitchen sponge may come in handy for breaking up the last few bits of adhesive. By this point, it will likely have been reduced to a papery goop, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble. Wipe the area clean with a towel and enjoy your new sticker-free surface!  Eliminate any remaining patches of residue by blotting the spot with the corner of a towel soaked in oil. A light dusting of cornstarch or baby powder can absorb leftover oil coating the sticker surface.

TL;DR in English: Grab a product with a high oil content. Smear the oil onto the sticker. Leave the oil in place for 10-20 minutes. Pull or scrub the sticker away.

Preparing for a career as a veterinarian begins long before even graduating from high school.  You will want to gain as much experience with animals and in the veterinary field as possible during high school and your undergraduate career. This experience will expose you to what veterinarians actually do, and will give you veterinary experience to put on your resume for veterinary school.  In the United States there are 30 colleges of veterinary medicine which graduate about 3,000 veterinarians a year.  You could volunteer at your local animal shelter, or you could shadow your pet's veterinarian. Working at a livestock farm can also help you gain valuable animal experience. Most colleges of veterinary medicine require a minimum of 400 hours of animal related experience While in high school, you should pay attention to your performance in science courses, such as Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. Also pay attention to math courses, such as  Trigonometry, Geometry, and Algebra. If you can excel in these areas, it may be a good indicator that medicine is the right field for you.  If possible, take AP classes. Also, excelling in English class will help, as veterinarians need to be good at communicating to other people. Alternatively, you can pass the GED exam. Passing the GED exam might seem like a good idea, but many veterinary colleges would like to see that you have completed high school instead. You will need to attend a college which offers the pre-requisite courses for admittance into veterinary college.  Make sure to complete all prerequisite courses for veterinary school. If one school's prerequisites vary from some of the others, make sure to take the prerequisite courses for all of these schools. These courses consist of many advanced science courses, such as biochemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry, and physics. They are necessary to prepare the student for the vigorous coursework in veterinary college. This may save considerable time and money. According to the Association of American Veterinary...

Set up your work area and safety gear. Spray the chrome bumper with self-etching primer. Spray the bumper with regular automotive primer. Sand the primer without touching the chrome surface. Wipe away any dust or residue from the primer.

If you're going to be a good house guest, you need to help out around the house. Most importantly, don't wait for her to ask you to do something if you notice it needs to be done. Staying with someone requires both sides to work together to keep the space happy and livable. Some chores to look out for include:  Watering plants Doing dishes Washing sheets, blankets, and towels Tending to pets Vacuuming. There are going to be some things that she likes a particular way, even if they don't make sense to you. Maybe her spice rack is particularly organized for easy cooking, or she likes the towels folded particularly. Everyone, including you, has little quirks and preferences for your living conditions -- so be sure to respect hers. Being considerate is not so much about the spice rack or the towels. It is about understanding her personal space and preferences.  She likely has her things in very particular orders and places -- be respectful and ask questions when storing your own stuff. You may have ways of doing things you may think are "better" or "more logical," but remember that this isn't your house. At the end of the day, her preferences for her stuff take priority. If you're staying at her house, you should be willing to help cover at least some of the expenses, particularly food. While she may have it covered, she may also want to split rent or utilities, depending on how long you'll be staying. Don't just assume that "everything's good." Make a point to ask her about finances before unsaid arguments become a problem. Talking about money is never fun, but it is essential to preserve a strong, healthy relationship. Maybe she needs a little quiet time when she gets home from work. Perhaps you both really like to shower before leaving, but need to work out a way that you both have enough time. The best way to handle these situations is to talk about them as they come up -- finding compromise early on instead of waiting until one of you is upset. Common things to cover include:  Who does what chores or house...

TL;DR in English: Help out with general house chores and maintenance. Defer to her preferences when tending the house. Discuss a fair way to split any expenses, such as food, early on. Establish ground rules about any specific living quirks or desires. Talk openly and honestly about any romantic expectations. Treat her house with respect, not like your personal property.

Paint fumes and aerosol sprays aren't very healthy to breathe in, so make sure you're working in a ventilated area. You can set up a ventilated spray booth and wear a respirator, or use a local exhaust ventilation system. Wearing gloves and eye protection are important safety precautions as well. The self-etching primer is what will allow the regular primer to grab hold of the metal. Cover the entire bumper with the self-etching primer, spraying 2-3 even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before continuing. When spraying in between layers, self-etching primer should only take a couple of minutes to dry. Allow the last coat to sit for 3-4 hours before starting to sand. The regular primer will help to bond the paint to the chrome, strengthen the metal, and prevent rusting, so don’t just use the self-etching primer and not the regular one as well. Cover the entire surface evenly using 2-3 coats, and wait for each coat to dry before applying the next one. Depending on which type of primer you're using and what kind of paint you'll be using on top, the regular primer's drying time will vary. Check the instructions on the primer to see how long to let it sit. Once your bumper’s primer is completely dry, you can start sanding. The purpose of this sanding is to smooth out the surface of the primer while not getting to the chrome layer, so only use a very fine sandpaper (400- to 600-grit) for this step. If you do happen to sand through the primer and reach the chrome surface, re-apply the primer, let it dry, and sand again. Use a cloth to wipe off any dust particles left over from sanding. You don’t want any dirt left on your bumper, as this will affect how the paint sticks to the surface. To avoid accidentally removing the primer, be gentle when wiping. You can use water, lacquer thinner, or a wax and grease remover to wipe away the dust.

Your hair should be clean before you flat iron it. Use a detangling shampoo and smoothing conditioner to aid in the straightening process. Unlike other straightening methods, your hair needs to be completely dry before you straight iron it or you could cause heat damage. Let your hair air dry or dry it with a blow dryer before you use the flat iron. Work the serum into your strands, from the roots to tips. Heat protection serum will protect your hair from any heat damage that may occur when your flat iron it. The serum should be applied to all of your hair. Turn the flat iron on to the lowest setting. Gather a 1 inch (2.5 cm) section of your hair with a comb and close the plates of the flat iron around the roots of the section you gathered. Then, move the flat iron over the section to straighten it.  The flat iron should be kept at 120 °C (248 °F) so as not to damage it as you iron it. Use light tension when using the flat iron so that you don’t pull your hair out. Continue ironing different sections of hair until it’s completely straight. If done properly, your hair should be straight without any waves or curls. Do not leave the flat iron on a section of hair for more than 1-2 seconds or you will burn it. to style it. You can also add a styling gel if you want your hair to lay a certain way. Comb your strands back to have a slicked back look, or you can part your hair to one side. Experiment with different straight hairstyles and choose the one you like best.

Anytime you feel the need to ask for a loan, be it from a buddy or the bank, first closely consider why you are in that position and if you have other options available to you.  If low cash flow is a regular problem for you, take the time to examine your household budget and track your spending.  There are numerous programs and apps that can help you with this, but a pen and paper can do the job also. Get a clear picture of your financial situation before asking to borrow money.  You may find that you have alternatives available to you; at very least, you will be better informed as to the amount you need to borrow and your ability to repay it in a timely fashion. Can you cancel your cable service and buy an antenna?  Cut coupons?  Start mowing lawns or shoveling snow on the side?  Sell your car and ride your bike or the bus to work?

You'll need to be able to see every stitch clearly to do the job properly. Don't attempt to remove your stitches in a place that's too dark, or you could accidentally cut yourself. Use the pair of tweezers to gently lift the knot of the first stitch slightly above the skin. Holding the knot above your skin, use your other hand to insert your scissors under the knot and snip the suture next to the knot. Use the tweezers to continue grasping the knot and gently pull the stitch through your skin and out. You might feel a bit of pressure, but it should not be painful.  Do not pull the knot through your skin. It will catch on your skin and cause bleeding to occur. It's a good idea to snip off the knot to avoid accidentally pulling it through. If the skin starts to bleed when you remove the stitch, your stitches are not ready to come out. Stop what you're doing and see a doctor to remove the remaining stitches. Use the tweezers to lift the knots, then snip with the scissors. Pull the thread through and discard. Continue until all the stitches have been removed. Make sure there's no residue left around the area of the wound. If you'd like, you can place a sterile bandage to cover the area and allow it to continue to heal.

Wipe the brass with a soft, damp cloth. Buff gently with a dry cloth. Assess the brass.

Mold is a serious problem that ruins cushion fabric if it is not removed. You can handle it by mixing 0.5 fluid ounces (15 mL) of liquid dish detergent in a bucket filled with approximately 32 fluid ounces (950 mL) of warm water. Then, mix in 1.2 ounces (34 g) of borax. You may be able to use chlorinated laundry bleach if you don’t have borax. Check the manufacturer’s label to see if this is safe. Avoid pouring the solution directly onto the cushion. Dip a clean sponge, nylon scrub brush, or white towel into it. Gently press the solution onto the moldy spots.  You can also pour the mixture into a spray bottle, then spray a light coating onto the stains. If you are unsure about using a borax or bleach solution, test it in an inconspicuous spot on your cushions first. Leave your cushions out in open air while giving the solution time to soak into the stain. Then, come back and check the stains. If they aren’t removed at this point, you can try cleaning them again. Use more of the solution if you are certain you have mold or mildew stains. Otherwise, switch to using absorbent material to draw out the stain. Moisten a clean, white cloth or sponge in lukewarm water. Scrub all the treated spots to remove any solution left on the cushions. For extra cleaning power, scrub the spots with a scrub brush dipped in clean water.  Avoid letting the bleach stay on the cushion, since this can stain or damage fabric. You can spray the cushions with a hose to ensure all the bleach is removed. Cornstarch, or another absorbent material such as newspaper or baking soda, may help you if the bleach fails. This material works best on oil-based stains, such as body oil, sunscreen, bird droppings, and pizza grease. Sprinkle the material until it covers the stains in an even layer. You can apply cornstarch immediately after washing a cushion with soap and water. However, using bleach first can help with tougher stains. Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove any absorbent material. You can also brush it off or scrape it off...

TL;DR in English: Create a bleach and soap mixture to treat mold. Blot the cleaning solution onto moldy spots with a sponge. Let the solution soak for 15 minutes. Rinse the cleaned spots immediately with clean water. Spread cornstarch over oily stains to draw them out. Vacuum the cornstarch off after 15 minutes. Dry wet cushions completely before storing them.

Run a soft rag under lukewarm water. Wring out the excess, then wipe the brass with the damp cloth using small circular motions.  Lacquer is a protective coating, and for lacquered pieces, most mild to moderate dullness can be buffed out with physical means rather than chemical ones. In fact, if you use a household cleaner or other type of polish, you risk ruining the lacquer coating. Use a soft cotton or terrycloth rag for best results. If the lacquered brass still appears somewhat dull, take a dry cloth and buff the surface for several minutes, working across the entire surface in small, circular motions.  For this part of the process, you could consider using either cotton cloth or jewellers' cloth. Jewellers' cloth has an outer layer of soft flannelet and an inner layer of flannel with bits of hematite embedded into it. This hematite acts as a fine abrasive. Note that if you do use jewellers' cloth, you should buff with the abrasive side first and follow up by buffing with the non-abrasive side to remove and residue left behind by the hematite. At this point, the brass should appear fairly polished. If it still looks tarnished and dull, however, you may need to strip the lacquer completely and clean the brass more thoroughly.

Scoop up a small amount with two fingers. Rub the Brylcreem between your palms. Work the pomade through your hair from root to tip. Tame cowlicks and flyaways. Style your hair as usual.

Some things, such as world events and natural disasters, are beyond your control, and there’s no use beating yourself up about something you can’t change. Focus instead on things you can change, like your own choices and judgments. Think of a tennis game. You can’t control things like the skill of your opponent, the referee’s calls, or how random wind gusts might affect the ball. On the other hand, you can decide how much to practice before the game, to show up well-rested, and not to stay up all night partying before the match. Work on having more self-control and self-awareness. Being stoic doesn’t have anything to do with just not talking. It’s more important to think before you speak, whether you’re interested in philosophical Stoicism or want to be stoic in the dictionary sense.  For example, if someone insults you, don’t just blurt out an angry insult back at them. Don’t engage them in an emotional fight, but consider if there’s any truth to their statement and reflect on how you could better yourself. If you feel yourself getting upset and can’t focus on the situation’s facts, try to visualize pleasant surroundings, sing a song in your head, or say a stoic mantra to yourself, such as, “If it’s not in my control, it’s none of my concern.” There’s nothing wrong with talking to people, but try not to ramble nervously and meaninglessly. You can’t control other people, so there’s no reason to be nervous. You also shouldn't feel like you have to conform to other people's standards, especially if it means compromising your own morals. Try to learn at every opportunity, but don’t be a know it all. You can’t learn if you already think you know everything. Wisdom is a core Stoic virtue, and part of cultivating wisdom is admitting that you have a lot to learn.  Educate yourself whenever you can by reading books, listening to podcasts, watching documentaries, and (obviously!) reading how-to guides.  You could listen to podcasts like TEDTalks, RadioLab, and StarTalk Radio. Browse Netflix and other services for...

TL;DR in English: Accept what you cannot change. Think before you speak and emotionally react. Don't worry about other people. Stay humble and open to new knowledge. Focus on being fair instead of being harsh.

Use just enough to completely coat your hair and give it a subtle sheen. If you’re sporting a short, neat cut, you’ll be able to get away with less pomade. For longer styles, you’ll need to gather up a little more.  Brylcreem’s famous ad slogan says it all—a little bit goes a long way. Too much product can weigh down hair and leave it looking flat and greasy. When it comes to taming your mane, two hands are better than one. Spreading the pomade out over a larger surface area will allow you to cover more hair at once. It will also help soften more solid products, as previously mentioned. Smooth it on at the scalp, then run your fingers through your hair in all directions to thoroughly coat each strand. Apply it just like you would shampoo, with the goal of getting full coverage over your entire head.  Spiking your hair upwards during the first few strokes can make it easier to work the product down to the roots.  Every now and then, pause long enough to take a quick peek in the mirror. Checking your progress will help you spot sections that you may have missed. Use the flat part of your hand to smooth unruly hairs and keep them from sticking up. For persistent problem areas, apply a little extra product directly to the stubborn strands. The added weight will help hold them down, and they'll proceed to fall in line.  To avoid messing up your meticulous grooming, be sure to flatten your hair in the direction that it's parted or slicked. Blow drying cowlicks briefly can help lock them in place once you've successfully got them lying down. Once your hair is slick and smooth with a faint shine, just comb your hair like you normally would and you’re good to go! Wax-based pomades like Brylcreem don’t dry out like some styling products, so there’s no need to grab the blow dryer or wait to leave the house. Styling products make it possible to achieve ‘dos that require a little more hold, like pompadours, faux-hawks, and piled curls.

TL;DR in English:


Be patient. Brush your hair often. Avoid styling products. Be confident.

Stretch out your tape measure along the wall on the longest side of the room. Do the same for the shorter side wall. Record both measurements on a notepad, then multiply the numbers together to get the total area. This will give you an idea of how much laminate flooring you’ll need. Make sure you buy enough materials to cover the entire room.  For example, a living room that's 22 feet (6.7 m) by 28 feet (8.5 m) will have an internal area of 616 feet (188 m). To install flooring in odd or irregularly-shaped rooms, it may be necessary to measure and trim the planks provisionally as you go. Before you actually begin installing the laminate flooring, you’ll want to give it a chance to get used to the unique temperature and humidity levels inside your home. Bring the packaged planks inside and find an out-of-the-way place to leave them. They’ll need to sit for at least 48-72 hours before they're ready to be handled.  Store the flooring in your living room or foyer rather than the garage until you get your project underway. Removing the planks from their packaging as soon as they’re delivered will expose them to more direct airflow, which can help them acclimate faster. Go around the room and strip the baseboards, foot moulding, and any other low-lying trim components using a pry bar. Slide the curved end of the pry bar behind the rear face of the moulding, then pull it gently until it comes away from the wall. Once you’ve loosened it enough to grab, wrench it free by hand 1 section at a time.  Handle the pry bar carefully to avoid damaging the wall. Use the claw end of a hammer to coax out any stubborn finishing nails you happen to come across. Starting in a corner of the room, loosen the old flooring with a pry bar. Pull the interlocking planks apart sharply to separate them. You may need to use the backside of a hammer to remove any pieces that have been nailed down, such as threshold strips. Keep a couple oversized garbage bags nearby while. That way, you’ll have a place to put the stripped laminate as you work...

TL;DR in English: Find the area of the room before buying laminate. Allow the new flooring materials to acclimate to their surroundings. Remove the moulding around the edges of the room. Pull up the existing laminate.

There is going to be about four or five weeks where your hair is really greasy and brittle. This might be difficult to deal with, especially if you have bangs. It might be a good idea to pin your bangs back during this time. Try to be patient so you can see if your hair will get used to not having shampoo. Wear a hat, put your hair in a messy bun, or use a headband to cover your hair if you need to. This is going to help get rid of grease on your scalp. Brush your hair a few times a day, but not too much or you will get split ends. Make sure to clean your brush often to remove the grease off of the brush. While your hair is trying to find its natural oil balance, don’t use hair products. Using gels, mousses, or styling products is going to mess up the process. Try to leave your hair alone while it adjusts to no shampoo. Nobody is going to notice that you have not been washing your hair. If you feel weird about it, explain to people what you are doing. Many people find that their scalps adjust to not being shampooed, and that their hair is no longer greasy after a few weeks. Your hair might end up being the envy of your friends.
