Position the crate near to you at first. Ignore their pre-sleep whining. Respond to cries to be let out.

It's not difficult to wash a load of laundry without any tools, but it can be tedious. If you plan to wash all your laundry by hand, especially towels, jeans, and other heavy items of clothing, you may wish to use a handheld agitator, which is simply a plastic tool useful for pressing and moving the clothes. If you cannot find one in a store, look online or make your own by cutting a few holes in the rubber of a brand-new plunger.  Note: You may use these instructions whether or not you have an agitator. Washing clothes by hand usually involves lower temperatures and less agitation than most washing machines, so there is less risk of color bleeding. It can still occur, however, so separating white and light pastel clothing from darker colored clothing is recommended. Separate out wool, cashmere, silk, lace, and any other delicate clothing from your other laundry. Wash these items using the instructions for delicate clothing, in a separate load. If you don't have a large washing tub or bucket, you can thoroughly clean a sink or bathtub and place the clothes in there, spreading them out evenly. The less full the container is, the easier it will be to wash. If you have too many clothes to wash at once, consider keeping a second clean bucket nearby to store clean, wet clothes while you finish washing the rest of the load. If you are only washing a couple small articles of clothing, you may only need a large bowl. If your clothing has a stain that has dyed the fabric, such as a stain from mustard or ink, rub a little stain remover cleaning product over the affected area, or use soap if you do not have any stain remover. Let the clothing sit for at least five minutes before continuing. Fill until the water level is about 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) above the level of the clothing. Unless the clothing is both sturdy and heavily soiled, do not use hot water. Lukewarm or even room temperature water will work fine for most laundry loads, and reduces the chance of damaging or color bleeding. If you are not certain whether an...

TL;DR in English: Consider buying or making an agitator. Separate the white and colored clothing (recommended). Lay the clothes in a clean container. Treat serious stains with a pre-wash stain remover or soap. Fill the bucket with lukewarm water. Add laundry detergent. Let the clothing soak. Swish the clothing around in the water. Rinse repeatedly in new, cool water. Wring and dry the clothing.

Since your puppy is bound to feel a lot of separation anxiety at first, it's a good idea to put their latched crate inside your bedroom or just outside the door for the first few nights.  It's tempting to put them far away from you where you won't hear their whining, but this will only make the transition harder for your puppy. They're far more likely to settle down if they're somewhere where they can see you. You can gradually move your puppy's crate further away if you prefer them to sleep elsewhere in the house. However, it's a good idea to keep your puppy within earshot until you know that they can make it through the night without having to go to the bathroom. It's very likely that your puppy will whine when you first close the door of their crate. They might continue for a long time while you try to go to sleep. Even though they're impossible to tune out, it's important that you do not respond to their cries.  If you respond to their cries, you are teaching them that whining behavior will get them what they want. This can lead to serious issues down the road, not just with their sleeping. Do not punish your puppy for whining. If you scold your puppy, you are still teaching them that whining will get a response from you. You do not want to give them any response. Puppies learn from consistency. Resist any urges to “make exceptions” for one night. Wear ear plugs, close the door, or turn on white noise to help you ignore the puppy. No dog likes to pee where they sleep, and puppies have very small bladders. If your puppy starts suddenly whining in the middle of the night, they likely have to be let out for a bathroom break.  Take your puppy out for a 3-4 minute walk and then put them back in their crate and close the door. Puppies are generally not able to “hold it” through a full night until they reach four or more months of age.

Stack the sheets of paper together. Draw a cactus shape, then cut it out. Be sure to cut through all sheets of paper at the same time; you want the shapes to be identical. Keep the shape simple. You will add details, such as leaves and spikes, separately.  If the paper is too thick to cut all at once, draw a template first, trace it onto the paper, then cut the shapes out individually. If you don't know how to draw a cactus, you can use a stencil or find a template online. You can use any type of paper you want, such as cardstock or construction. You can even paint regular paper green beforehand or used patterned scrapbooking paper. Keep the cacti stacked, and fold them in half lengthwise. Next, take one of the cacti, and fold it in half, lengthwise, the other way to create a mirror fold. Unfold the mirrored cactus. Coat the outer part of it with glue. If you think of it as a card, the outside of the "card" is the part that gets the glue. Unfold the remaining two cacti. Align them with the matching halves on the glue-covered cactus. Press them together, and let the glue dry. If you need to, trim off any excess, overlapping paper with a pair of scissors. An easy way to create spikes is to draw x or * shapes. You can also draw short, tapering lines instead. Let the paint dry before moving on. No paint? Use a white paint pen, crayon, or colored pencil instead. Cut some pink tissue paper into small squares. Scrunch the squares over the end of a pencil or pen to create a cupped flower shape. Glue the tip of the flower to the top of your cactus. Don't like pink? Try red, white, yellow, or orange instead. If you'd like to, you can paint the flower pot first with acrylic paints. You can use any type of flower pot you'd like. Terracotta would be a great choice, but porcelain would also work. You can even use a small bowl or tea cup!  Save space by filling the pot with crumpled foil or paper, or a block or foam. If your flower pot has a hole in the bottom, glue a piece of paper over it from the inside. This will keep...

TL;DR in English: Cut a cactus shape out of three sheets of green-colored paper. Fold the paper in half lengthwise. Coat the mirrored cactus part with glue. Attach the remaining cactus parts. Add some spikes with white, acrylic paint. Add some tissue paper flowers, if desired. Fill a small flower pot with rice, pebbles, or sand. Set the cactus on top of the flower pot.

If the sauce or condiment is very salty, it might be a good idea to use less of the seasoning in the packet. This will help keep the ramen from turning out too salty. Listed below are some tasty options that you could try:  Fish sauce Japanese curry powder Ponzu Miso paste Thai curry paste This is a great option if fish sauce and curry powder or paste aren't your thing. Here are some ideas to get you started:  Citrus juices, such as a squeeze of lemon or lime. Add these just before serving. Oils such as: animal fat, chili oil, or sesame oil. Spices such as: chili flakes, coriander seeds, or white pepper. You will need to remove the seeds prior to serving, however. You can add delicate and quick cooking vegetables just before serving the ramen. You can also add sturdier, long cooking vegetables to the noodles as you cook them.  Here are some more tasty options:  For quick cooking vegetables, try: baby spinach, bean sprouts, scallions, or watercress. For long cooking vegetables, try: broccoli, snap peas, snow peas, or shredded carrots. No fresh vegetables? Try frozen ones instead! Be sure to thaw them under running hot water for about 30 seconds first. Ramen is full of sodium, starch, and fat, which isn't very healthy. You can make your meal a little more nutritious with an egg, which is packed with protein. Soft boiled and hard boiled eggs sliced in half are the most popular, but you can use other types as well. Here are some options for you to try:  Hard boil an egg in cold water. Peel it, slice it in half, then add it on top of the ramen, just before serving. Soft boil an egg after the water has already started to boil. Cook it for 3 to 7 minutes, then peel it, slice it in half, then add it to the ramen just before serving. Try an egg-drop instead. After the noodles and broth have cooked, give them a stir. Pour a lightly-beaten egg into the pot while the broth and noodles are still moving. Poach an egg right on top of the noodles. Let the egg boil for 30 seconds. Turn off the stove, cover the pot with a lid,...

Do not show any emotion. Even if you feel yourself getting angry, annoyed, or irritated, don’t give them what they want by showing that their rudeness is getting to you.  Stay calm and collected. Close your eyes and take a deep breath if you feel yourself losing your temper. Keep a straight face or try going for a “blank” look on your face, disengaging completely from the person and showing them they are not worth your time. When you make eye contact, you are acknowledging the person and validating their actions. Look away from them and gaze straight ahead at something in the distance. Avoiding looking down at the ground. This type of body language comes off as submissive and unconfident. Keeping your gaze up and steady makes you look self-assured and in control. You can convey a lot through your body language alone. Turn your shoulders and feet to point in the opposite direction. Cross your arms in front of your body to look closed off and disengaged. If possible, walk quickly in the opposite direction from them and don’t look back. Stand up tall and look confident as you are walking.  If you feel awkward not saying anything before walking away, keep your response short. This will acknowledge that you’ve heard what they’ve said but don’t agree with it. You can just say something like, “OK” or “I don’t know” before turning away. If a classmate keeps rubbing in your face that he or she got a perfect score on his last exam, just smile and say, "That's nice.” Then turn your or her attention to other, more important things. If it’s someone that you know you will have to interact with again, like a coworker or friend, walking away from a few minutes can give them some space to calm down. Hopefully when you meet again, they will have changed their behavior. . Keep your distance from the rude person so that their negativity does not bog you down on a regular basis.  If the person is a stranger, this should be easy - you will likely never have to see them again. If you really can’t stand the person but tend to run...

TL;DR in English:


Use a hot, running water and unscented soap. Rinse your hands off.

Wash your hands thoroughly. Chill the eggs (optional). Set up three bowls. Crack the egg. Let the whites drip through your fingers. Drop the yolk into the last bowl.

Hold your four dominant fingers together and hit the head of the tambourine in the top or bottom third of the tambourine. Play a simple standard strike to whatever beat or rhythm the accompanying music requires. Striking the tambourine in the center usually produces a muddled tone. Hold the tambourine in your non-dominant hand and hit the head with a snare drumstick. Use more pressure while you hit the head for a louder sound and vice versa for softer. Hold the tambourine at a slight angle from horizontal, and curl your four dominant fingers into a fist. Press your thumb against the tambourine's head and drag it in a circular motion. This should cause the zils, or metal cymbals, to make a sustained jingling sound. Thumb rolls are ideal for short jingling sounds but, if you need something longer than a few seconds, a shake roll will work better. Hold the tambourine vertically in front of you and twist it back and forth with your non-dominant hand. Shake it as quickly or as slowly as you want depending on the rhythm you're trying to achieve.

TL;DR in English: Try a standard strike. Beat a snare drumstick against the tambourine for a louder sound. Do a thumb roll for a continuous sound instead of a rhythm. Use a shake roll for longer periods of time than a thumb roll.

Scrub your hands with hot, running water and unscented soap, then rinse them off. Besides washing away dirt, this will remove skin oils that can prevent whites from fluffing. Cold yolks are less likely to break than warm ones, and easier to separate from the white. If you store your eggs in the fridge, separate them right after taking them out. If you store them at room temperature, you can put them in the fridge half an hour before you cook — though it's not a big deal if you forget. Most recipes call for whites or yolks at room temperature. You can warm chilled, separated egg by placing the bowls of yolks and whites in a pan of warm water (not hot) for 5–10 minutes. If you're only separating a couple eggs, you only need two bowls. But if you're separating many eggs, get another bowl to crack the whole egg into. This way, if you break the yolk, you've only lost one egg instead of ruining a whole bowl of whites. The faster method is to crack all the eggs into one bowl and lift out the yolks one by one. It's best to leave this until you've had some practice, since one broken yolk will ruin all your whites. Crack the egg carefully into the first bowl, taking care not to break the yolk. If you can, you can crack the egg gently, then drop it right into your cupped palm instead — or even crack it in one hand.  If you have trouble with shell fragments in your egg, try cracking it against a flat countertop instead of the edge of the bowl. If a bit of shell falls into your egg, pick it out with your fingers, without breaking the yolk. It's easier to get it out with half of the shell, but that increases the risk of salmonella contamination. Reach into the bowl and cup a yolk, lifting it up. Move your hand over to the second bowl and separate your fingers slightly, letting the whites drip through. Use your other hand to gently pull down thick strands of white if it doesn't fall on its own. If there is still white attached to the yolk, pass it back and forth between your hands until most of the white has dripped into...

If you’re multi-tasking, then the quality of your work will go down because you won’t be able to be fully immersed in any one task.

Stop buying stuff you don’t need. Avoid multi-tasking. Don’t overcommit yourself. Get organized. Don’t drink too much. Cook for the week. Avoid procrastinating. Show up early.

Peel the banana first, then slice it in half lengthwise. Place the two banana halves into a long, slender serving dish, with the pointed ends facing up. If you froze the yogurt, remove it from the muffin liners first, then set it between the banana slices. If you are using regular yogurt, use a spoon to scoop it into the dish, placing it between the banana halves. Dark chocolate or semi-sweet would taste the best, but you can also try milk chocolate or even white chocolate. For an even healthier banana split, omit the chocolate chips altogether.

TL;DR in English: Place the banana into a serving dish. Set the yogurt between the two banana slices. Add a sprinkle of chocolate chips, if desired.

So, a lot of people’s lives look something like this: you work a lot so you can make a decent amount of money, and then you use that money to buy a whole bunch of stuff. You buy the stuff, the money runs out, and back to work you go to rinse and repeat. If you’re having a hard time getting control of your life and your time, then chances are, one of the things you’re doing is working too much. Now, if you cut down on the spending, then you might feel less pressure to keep working so hard or for so many hours, and you’d have more of that free time you want so badly. Here are some tips for minimizing your spending while still having a great life:  Do you really need a car? Is all the time you spend running maintenance on the car, giving rides to people, and trying to find a parking spot everywhere you go really worth it? Wouldn’t your life be easier if you were more dependent on your own two feet and the bus schedule? If so, then it may be time to let go of your favorite vehicle. Do you really need five new outfits every month? Instead of just indiscriminately buying a bunch of new outfits every time you go shopping, focus on quality over quantity. Buy a high quality sweater, a well-fitting pair of pants, and a sturdy scarf that will go with everything so that you leave with a few key items that are made to last. Sure, they may not cost that much less than piles of cheaper new clothes, but they will keep you from having to shop as often as you do. Going out to eat is one of the biggest wastes of money. Try not to go out to eat or order takeout more than once or twice a week and spend more money on high-quality ingredients that can make home cooking more fun and delicious. You may think that multi-tasking is a great way to get your work done faster and to make the most of your time, but the truth is that multi-tasking will actually make all of your work take longer. Additionally, if you’re multi-tasking, then the quality of your work will go down because you won’t be able to be fully immersed in any one task....

It's best to go with a pair that fits you snugly around the hips. Stretchy denim works well.  Wear them inside-out. Take a crayon or marker, and draw a line on both legs to show how tight you want them to be. Remember to make the line on the inside so when you wear them you can't see the seams on the outside of the leg. Make sure you draw the line on the opposite side of the manufacturer's original seam. You can use pins to tack, but you might end up poking yourself or the pins might end up coming out when you take the jeans off. As an alternative, take a pair of skinny jeans you already own as a guide. Spread out the pair you want to reconstruct inside-out and lay the skinny jeans on top (lining up the crotch). Make sure the seam is evenly on the edge (of both pairs) and take your chalk down the side of your pants, starting about mid-thigh, mirroring the line of the skinnies. Iron your jeans first to make everything easier. Flat, unwrinkled jeans are easier to work with. Walk around in them to see that the legs fit well, or you may want to jog a little -- sometimes jeans can come loose if you start moving around, in which case you'll need to tighten them. If you're unhappy, remove the stitches. But if they're tight, short, and spaced closely so that there are no bumps in your jeans and the stitches won't be pulled out in the wash, you're good to go. Work over each stitch as perfectly and as carefully as you can -- there's nothing worse than having a brand new pair of skinny jeans for one day and then having the stitches all pulled out the next. This will be hard work, but it is essential. Cut any excess fabric if necessary (use a zigzag stitch beforehand) or go over it with a serger, which will seal off the edge and cut off the fabric at the same time. However, you might want to wear and wash your jeans at least once before you start cutting them up, in case you want to go back and fix something later on.

TL;DR in English: Put on your jeans to get an idea of the shape you want. Try on your jeans to see if they fit. Go over the seam again with a much shorter stitch.

Very few retailers successfully buy wholesale and then flip the product(s) without changing it in some significant way. What you'll probably find yourself doing is buying the raw materials from a supplier or host of suppliers and then spending time and manpower fashioning your product into reality. You may think you've got a really reliable product on your hands, but no one is as discerning as the customer. The customer uses the product, sometimes on a daily basis, sometimes the "wrong way." The customer is constantly asking herself, "did I get my money's worth?" Testing your product on focus groups, friends, or even (especially) strangers might give you insight into how to make it even better. Say, for example, that you order 100 vegetable peelers wholesale, stick your name on them, and then sell them with a 100% markup. That's not necessarily a bad idea if you can get swift sales. But what if the vegetable peelers dissolve under hot water, and a week into your new sales venture, you've got dozens of angry customers whose dishwashers have been ruined by the peeler? If you had tested them, you'd know they weren't a good product. If you hadn't tested them, you'd be giving refunds, losing money and having your brand take a hit. A tax ID will allow the government to set up taxes associated with your sales. In most cases, you'll need to register your tax ID number in each state you plan on selling your goods. This makes it easier for you to track your profit and expenses, though you can transfer your earnings into your personal account once your records have been noted.  This also makes things a whole lot easier come tax season, when you need to be exact about what expenses you had and how much you were paid. Link a PayPal account to your business bank account in order to make online transactions more efficient. It may sound boring, but boring is better than fines or jail time when the IRS comes auditing. You may choose to hire an accountant or bookkeeper to track these records for you.

Purchase a quality leather conditioner. Squeeze the leather conditioner onto a clean cloth. Spread the conditioner over the surface of the leather. Condition your leather goods regularly.

Before you mop your travertine floor, you will want to make sure you remove any loose dirt or debris from the floor’s surface. Try using a dust mop made of microfiber to remove loose dirt. Carefully read the directions on the label of the travertine-friendly floor cleanser. Add the cleanser to a bucket of warm water, according to the directions on the label. If using mild dish soap, add a small squirt of soap to the bucket. Place the mop in the bucket of water and cleaning solution. Then lift the mop from the bucket and wring out the mop. Make sure you wring out as much water from the mop as possible. After wringing out the mop, use side-to-side motions to mop the floor. Begin at one side of the floor and systematically mop your way to the other side. Rinse the mop in the cleaning solution frequently, thoroughly wringing out the mop after rinsing. If you are mopping a large area, make a fresh bucket of cleaning solution after cleaning half of the floor area. After mopping the floor with cleaning solution, you will want to rinse it with fresh water. Dump the cleaning solution down the drain and fill the bucket with fresh, clean water. Mop the floor with the clean water. Fill the bucket with fresh water about halfway through and continue mopping. After you mop the floors with clean water, you will want to dry them. This will prevent streaks and smudges from forming on the floor as the water dries. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth made of cotton or microfiber to thoroughly dry the floors.

The oils in the conditioner will lubricate the porous leather, allowing it to flex and bend with your body with greater ease. And, unlike homespun oil treatments, they won’t compromise the durability of the material or leave behind a greasy patina.  If you’re willing to spend a little more money, you can also spring for a complete leather maintenance package. These kits often include other products that are useful for extending the lifespan of your leather goods, such as neatsfoot oil, leather milk, and protective beeswax for waterproofing. Avoid using natural alternatives like olive or coconut oil. While these can help relax leather in the short term, they have a tendency to absorb deep into the material. Over time, they can lead to permanent discoloration or more serious cracking and deterioration. Fold the cloth over the tip of your finger so that only one small corner is exposed. Use this corner to soak up a small amount of conditioner. That way, you can ensure that you’re getting just the right amount.  When it comes to leather products, less is more. You just want to treat the surface of the leather, not give it a bath.  Don’t apply the product directly to the leather. Not only is this a recipe for a giant mess, it also makes it harder to distribute the conditioner consistently. Rub the conditioner in smooth, wide strokes or circles, working your way slowly over a broader area. Aim for a single thin coating. The leather should have a faint sheen to it, but not appear wet or oversaturated.  Leather conditioners are safe enough to use on every part of the item’s exterior, but you could also focus your attention where it’s needed most, such as the elbows of a jacket or the toe or ankle area of a boot. There’s no need to rub on multiple coats. Any additional conditioner you apply will just accumulate on the surface. Repeat the process at least once every few months to keep your clothing and accessories in top shape. With each application, the stubborn material will grow more and more supple.  If you live...

Rats are not picky eaters—you can use just about any type of edible item as rodent bait, including meats, cheeses, fish, moldy bread, and produce that’s past its prime. Sweet offerings like fruit are among their favorites, particularly berries. Rats prefer foods with strong odors,

Leave some food sitting out. Entice rats with grains and seeds. Give outdoor rodents access to your garbage. Look for rats around leaf and compost piles. Employ a chemical rat attractant.

After a venomous snakebite, your cat will become lethargic and may start vomiting. She will probably start to become very weak and collapse. In addition, her muscles may begin to twitch and her pupils will start to dilate. As more time passes after the snakebite, she could exhibit even more serious signs, such as seizures, paralysis, and shock.  Signs of shock include rapid shallow breathing, hypothermia, and a rapid heart rate.  Because of the amount of pain she is in, she may also be more vocal. Do not wait to see if your cat shows symptoms of a snakebite. If you saw the snake bite your cat, or if you see the bite wound, take your cat to the veterinarian immediately. The onset of clinical signs after a snakebite is usually rapid—within a few minutes to an hour of being bitten. If your cat shows no clinical signs after 60 minutes, then the snake's venom likely did not enter her system.  Your cat may not exhibit these clinical signs if she has been bitten by a nonvenomous snake. However, you should still take her to your veterinarian for treatment and monitoring. In order to give the appropriate antivenin, it would be helpful for your veterinarian to know the species of the attacking snake. In the US, the most common venomous snakes are rattlesnakes, water moccasins, copperheads, and coral snakes.  If you witnessed the attack, stay calm and take note of the color, length, and pattern of the snake. For your safety, do not approach the snake to get a closer look. Do not try to kill the snake. You will put yourself in more danger of being bitten by approaching the snake and trying to kill it. Venomous snakes have slit-like pupils (similar to a cat), whereas non-venomous snakes have round pupils (like people). There are exceptions, however. For instance, the venomous coral snake has round pupils. If you are not able to identify the snake or do not know if it is venomous, assume that it is venomous. The negative effects on the cardiovascular system can cause your cat to go into shock.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to your cat’s clinical signs. Try to identify the species of snake that bit your cat.

Rats aren't picky eaters—you can use just about any type of edible item as rodent bait, including meats, cheeses, fish, moldy bread, and produce that’s past its prime. Sweet offerings like fruit are among their favorites, particularly berries. Rats prefer foods with strong odors, which they use to sniff out a meal. For this reason, spoiled items may be more effective for drawing them out than fresh ones. Set out an open sack of flour or bucket of rotting feed. Grains, nuts, and other plant-based nibbles provide rats with a lot of energy, which is why it’s no coincidence that they can often be found in places like pantries and storage sheds. It’s not uncommon to spot rats lurking near bird feeders or bags of grass seed. If you have an overflowing trash can or dumpster outside, you may not need to do anything special to whip a community of hidden rats into a frenzy. The mixture of rotting food items in the average waste receptacle is like a buffet for a hungry rodent.  Let your trash sit out for an extra day or two before having it hauled off so it’s extra smelly. Your garbage will become a rat magnet in the sweltering summer months, when the heat speeds decomposition. Rake the scattered leaves, twigs, and weeds from around your property into mounds and wait for the furry invaders to pour in. Rats often seek shelter in these places or make off with small pieces of debris to build their nests. Situate leaf piles and compost heaps next to the tree line or close to dark or confined spaces. Rats are more likely to venture into these areas than those that are out in the open. Squeeze a few drops of rat attractant around the area where you want to lure and trap rats. These products use natural compounds to mimic the scent of rat saliva. Any rats that happen to be passing by will pick up on the smell and think there’s something edible nearby.  You can buy rat attractant from most pet stores, or in the pest control aisle of your local home improvement center. A little bit of rat attractant goes a long way. Hints of the...

Talk to your doctor about your goals. Set realistic goals for yourself. Educate yourself about the risks of a model’s lifestyle.

When it’s cold out, it’s time to switch up your night clothes. Swap out cotton for some flannel pajamas. You can buy flannel tops and bottoms, as well as night shirts. Flannel is a great insulator that will help you retain your body heat. Look for a fun or cute print to liven up your flannel wardrobe. Looser is generally better when it comes to sleepwear. You probably move around during your sleep, and it’s best to wear clothing that will easily move with you. Look for loose clothing, but make sure you won't get tangled up in it if you toss and turn. If you wear pajama pants, make sure that the elastic is loose and breathable. Your feet might be one of the coldest parts of your body. To help keep your whole body toasty, keep your feet warm by sleeping in socks. Choose socks that feel comfortable to you. Make sure they’re not too big or floppy. You don’t want them coming off in the middle of the night! If flannel doesn’t seem to be keeping you warm enough, consider adding additional layers of clothing. You could try a thermal t-shirt underneath your pajama top. You can also add a pair of form fitting leggings underneath your pants or night shirt. If you get cold during the night, add another layer. If you get too hot, just peel one off. A lot of your body heat can escape through your head. If you’re really cold, consider wearing a hat to bed. You can wear a ski cap or even a hunter’s style cap with ear flaps. Whatever feels good to you is the right hat. You could choose to wrap a scarf around your head (not your face) as an alternative to a hat.

TL;DR in English: Wear flannel pajamas. Pay attention to fit. Wear socks. Try layers. Cover your head.

Losing weight, and maintaining your ideal body weight once you achieve it, can be very difficult.  Depending on your current weight and health status, a strict diet and exercise regimen can also create potential health risks.  Talk to your doctor before starting any new weight loss regimen.  Your doctor can help you set healthy weight loss goals and suggest safe strategies for losing weight. Your doctor might also be able to refer you to a registered dietitian or fitness professional who can help you create and achieve realistic goals. Everyone’s body is different. Weight loss can be more difficult (and potentially unhealthy) for some people than for others.  Before trying to achieve a runway model physique, give some serious thought to what sorts of weight-loss goals you can reasonably attain.  Aim for goals that are SMART  ""Specific"".  Plan out exactly how much exercise you are going to do each week, or how many calories you are going to consume every day. ""Measurable"".  Keeping your goals measurable will help you pinpoint how successful you are at meeting them.  For example, while you can’t measure a goal like “eating healthier,” you can definitely measure a goal like “eating 1,200 calories per day.” ""Attainable"".  Consider whether you have the time, resources, and physical ability to meet your goals.  Are your daily exercise goals compatible with your work schedule?  Do your diet plans meet your specific health/nutritional needs? ""Realistic"".  There is only so much weight that you can safely lose in a given amount of time.  Talk to your doctor or dietitian about what kind of weight loss you can realistically hope to attain. ""Trackable"".  You should be able to measure your progress in some way, whether it is through weekly weigh-ins or keeping a diary of your physical activity and calorie intake every day. Keep in mind that models often take extreme and dangerous measures to lose or maintain weight.  Models are at high risk for developing physical and psychological problems as a result of the...

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware does a great job at removing Mywebsearch on its own, but you may need to make some tweaks to regain control of your web browser. If opening your browser brought you to the MyWebSearch site, read on. If you no longer see the MyWebSearch toolbar and you’re brought to your normal homepage, you’re done! This step only pertains to Windows users, as Internet Explorer is integrated with the Windows operating system. Even if you don't use Internet Explorer (IE) regularly, you'll want to reset it to clear out any settings that MyWebSearch changed. While this does reset your browser settings (such as search engines and homepage preference), your personal data will be unaffected:  Open the IE Tools menu (or the Gear button) and select "Internet options." Click the "Advanced" tab and then click "Reset." Check "Delete personal settings" and then click "Reset." This is the same no matter your operating system. Resetting your web browser won’t touch your saved passwords or bookmarks, but you’ll have to install any additional toolbars or browser extensions you use (such as ad blockers) when you’re done. Make sure you do this on every browser on your computer, not just the one you use most.  Chrome: Click the Menu (☰) button and select "Settings." Click the "Show advanced settings" link at the bottom of the screen, then "Reset settings." Click "Reset" to confirm. Firefox: Click the Menu (☰) button and select "?"

this is a failure-to-fire (FTF) malfunction. You pull the trigger and you get a "click" instead of a "boom." This is the simplest type of malfunction, the most common type, and the easiest to fix: just tap, rack/flip. a failure-to-eject is a common problem on older 1911s and other guns with shorter ejectors. This type of malfunction is affectionately known as a "stovepipe." The symptom of this malfunction is a "dead trigger" (no click, just a little bit of movement), and most likely some brass sticking out of your ejection port (but not necessarily), and the slide is not completely in battery (all the way forward). Fix it using the same method at a Type-1 malfunction: tap, rack/flip. this is known as "the Mother Of All Malfunctions" (MOAM) by some. This is a feed-way stoppage, which means that too much brass is in the chamber at the same time.  If you do get a type-3 malfunction under fire, many pistol masters will tell you just to grab for your back-up. Of course, if that is not an option you should find cover before executing the clearing. To clear: grab your slide and lock it back (this is optional on many handguns). Press the magazine eject, grab the magazine and throw it to the ground ("strip" it). Grab the slide again and rack it hard three times. Reach for a fresh magazine, put it in the gun (same as the tactical reload) and rack the slide one more time to load a round into the chamber. You can also learn to keep the magazine you have in your gun, read this. this is pretty uncommon, and if it ever happens to you when you are practicing with your gun at the range, throw the gun away and get a different model! This malfunction is when the slide does not go back into battery after firing. This might happen because your guide rod or guide rails are really gummed up (to the point where it looks as if there is a wad of Juicy Fruit in there), your guide spring is too weak or your chamber design is bad. Either way, modern semi-automatic pistols should never have this happen. A gunsmith (or you) may be able to...

In the United States, the term “otaku” is usually reserved for people who are hardcore anime or manga fans, but in Japan, “otaku” basically defines anyone who is a hardcore fan of any one interest. Even if the otaku girl in your life is a huge anime fan, it helps to know which series and genres she's most interested in.  The Japanese concept of “otaku” is similar to the American idea of a fangirl (or fanboy), geek, or nerd. A person could be an anime otaku or game otaku, but someone could also be something like a train otaku. Anyone who loves something enough to obsess over it can be labeled as an “otaku.” The American concept of “otaku” tends to be someone who is obsessed with some part of Japanese pop culture or Asian pop culture in general. Anime, manga, and computer games are the most notable obsessions, but an otaku could also obsess over J-Pop music or Korean dramas. Simply knowing the title of her favorite series isn't enough. If you really want to impress your otaku girl, you should do a little research into her favorites so that you know what they're all about. You don't need to love everything she loves, but you should have a basic enough understanding to follow along with her rants when she starts talking about one of her passions. Another advantage to your research is that you'll learn more about the type of things she loves, rather than knowing only a few examples. Most otaku girls will branch out from their original obsessions and latch onto things related to them. If you learn enough about what interests her, you may eventually be able to introduce her to something else she'd enjoy, which will definitely leave her feeling impressed with you. Take her to places that cater to her passions. Give her gifts that are related to the things she loves. Otaku girls like to be romanced, but standard “cookie cutter” actions only scratch the surface and fail to address her as an individual.  Keep in mind that your gifts do not need to be expensive to make an impression. As a general rule, otaku girls tend...

TL;DR in English: Know her passions. Do your research. Impress her by acknowledging those interests. Do not look down on her or expect her to change. Compliment her. Notice her other quirks. Don't push her too far out of her comfort zone.

Many people eat as much as 3,500 mg of sodium per day. The DASH diet, which is short for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, recommends no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Sodium is in salt, so the best way to reduce your sodium intake is to eat less salt. You can do this by:  Not adding table salt to your food. This may also include reducing the amount of salt you use when cooking. Easy ways to do this include not salting meats and not adding salt to the water when you cook rice or pasta. Avoiding salty snacks and processed food such as chips, pretzels, and salted nuts. They often have large amounts of salt added to them. If you do purchase prepared foods, look to see if you can get a low-salt version. Check the contents of canned food, premixed seasonings, bouillon cubes, canned soups, jerkies, and sports drinks to see if they have salt added to them. Whole grains are better than processed white rice or processed white flour because they have more fiber and nutrients. A serving is a slice of bread or a half a cup of cooked rice or pasta. You can eat more whole grains by:  Buying whole wheat flour and pasta instead of white. Many whole wheat bread products will say on the packaging that they are whole wheat. Oatmeal and brown rice are also excellent sources of nutrients and fiber. You should eat four to five servings of fruit and four to five servings of vegetables each day. A serving is a half a cup of leafy vegetables or a ½ cup of cooked vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are great sources of potassium and magnesium which help to lower your blood pressure. Excellent ways to get your fruits and vegetables include:  Eating salads with your meals. You can keep them interesting by varying what you put in them. You can add a sweet element by putting apple or orange slices on a salad. Leave on the peels of thin-skinned fruits like apples because they also contain nutrients. You can also go more traditional with fresh greens, carrots, and tomatoes. But go easy on the salad dressings: they often have a...

Most razors come with an added moisture or lubricating strip. These strips tend to be loaded with chemicals and other ingredients—yes, razors have ingredients! However, you can find razors that are more natural. Look for a razor that does not have the moisture strip. An alternative would be to purchase razors that have it and then peel or otherwise remove the strip yourself. Common store brands for shaving creams and gels are also full of chemicals and toxic products. Look for a more natural brand, or make it yourself.  Brands such as Dr. Bronner's, Garden of Eve, and Kiss My Face are known for making more natural shaving products. For homemade shaving cream, you can simply use coconut oil or another carrier oil, like sweet almond oil or sesame oil. You can also look into homemade mixtures. There are some body parts that men and women commonly shave:  Women commonly shave their legs, underarms, and bikini areas. Some women also shave their arms. Men commonly shave their beards, mustaches, and chests. There are some reports that people should not shave certain areas, like their arms, because the hair will grow back faster and thicker. However, scientists have proven this to be untrue. In a thin layer, spread your shaving product over the body part you are shaving. Be sure you have enough to protect your skin from nicks and cuts, especially since your razor does not have a moisture strip. Pull your razor up the body part that you are shaving in one long motion. Continue to do this repeatedly until you have shaved the entire area.  Frequently rinse the excess shaving product and shaved hair from your razor so that you get a clean, smooth shave all around. Take your time and go slowly. You are more likely to get a shaving nick or cut whenever you rush and forget to take care on areas like your ankles and knees. When you are done shaving the entire body part or area that you want shaved, rinse it and then check for any spots you missed while shaving. Dab a little bit of shaving cream or gel on that spot and touch...

TL;DR in English: Purchase an appropriate razor. Buy a natural shaving cream or gel. Wet the area that you would like to shave. Apply the shaving cream or gel to the area to be shaved. Shave the area carefully. Rinse your skin and check for missed spots. Clean your razor.

By default, this is in the Utilities folder, located in the Applications folder. If a normal Force Quit doesn't work, you may need to use this method to end the program. The “top” command displays information about the applications that are currently running. Under the column titled "COMMAND", find the name of the application you wish to quit. The COMMAND list may use a truncated name for the program. Look for a name that looks similar to the program you are trying to close. Once you find the name of program, find the number to the immediate left of it, under the PID column. Make a note of the PID number. This will exit the list of applications and return you to the command line. Replace the "###" with the number from the PID Column you just located. For example: If you were trying to quit iTunes, and found iTunes to have PID number 3703, you would type "kill 3703". If the program does not respond to the “kill” command, type “sudo kill -9 ###”, replacing ### with the PID number. The application should quit and you can be relaunched.

Before you send your album through the necessary channels, you need to make sure that it is polished and presentable. Create album artwork for it, edit all the song titles, and add a description if necessary.  Selling your music on iTunes can be fairly simple even for amateur artists, but you will have a great deal of competition to deal with, and your odds of having success will improve vastly if you make sure that your songs are in top condition. If you have no experience with mastering and do not know how to polish the music up to commercial standards by yourself, hire an engineer or specialist to do it for you. Convert the files to WAV, set at a 44.1 kHz sample rate and 16 bit sample size. You can convert your audio files in iTunes by importing them to the library using the WAV encoder, set to custom settings. You also need cover artwork and complete track credits to submit before an online service will help you add your music to the iTunes store.  You must have rights to the artwork. Aim to make the cover image a JPG file set to 1,000 by 1,000 pixels. Before you can sell your album, it needs to have a UPC code.  Fortunately, obtaining one is pretty easy. You can obtain one by registering directly with the Uniform Code Council, or you can ask a CD manufacturer or distributor if they offer the service. The latter may prove to be a cheaper option. You can also get a UPC online through various online distributors like CD Baby or DiscMakers, and these tend to be even cheaper options. Working with Apple directly usually requires you to have a professional label backing you, or at least enough experience to prove that you are a professional. Even if you do not qualify to work with Apple directly, though, you can still work through a third party. If you weren't able to get through the previous step yourself, get in touch with an aggregator, or a third-party distributing service that allows you to finish and distribute your music for a small fee. Check the Apple iTunes application page for a list of approved...

This method will work best for vehicles with a vertical manual lock—meaning a lock that you pull up to unlock or push down to lock. These locks are usually at the top of the door panel just inside the window. This method requires a thin but rigid tool that you can feed between the weatherstripping around the bottom of the window and the glass itself. A wire coat hanger works well, but you must straighten it first. A universal unlock tool or a “slim jim” also work in this case if you’re prone to locking your keys in your car and want to keep one around for future occurrences. If you cannot seem to get any leverage by going beneath the window, you can always try one of the other methods, or you can simply call a locksmith. With the professional assortment of tools a locksmith will have available, they’ll have you back in your car within minutes.

Trampolines need to air dry to complete the cleaning process. A trampoline should never be washed if the forecast predicts rain at any point during the day as this can inhibit the drying process. Mild cleaners work best for trampolines, as they minimize the risk of damage. Never use a cleaner with bleach or pumice, as this can harm your trampoline. Never rent a pressure washer to clean a trampoline. This can damage the fabric. If you don't have a hose, you can use buckets to wet the trampoline.

A brochure is a valuable, tangible piece of marketing material that is ultimately used to sell. Unlike a website, you have a limited amount of space on which to provide information. When writing a brochure be specific with what you are selling.   Don’t try to cover too many topics in one brochure. While a brochure can be used to highlight your overall offerings, it's often good to have multiple brochures. You should have a brochure for each individual product or service. For example, if you’re a company that builds beautiful custom rooms in people’s homes, like kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, you may have more success in your brochure if you only cover one room. Instead of offering a lot of broad information, you want your brochure to focus on one topic. Perhaps you write one brochure on only kitchens. Get specific to one room so you can explain every detail from the type of tile you offer to the colors of the cabinet handles. Pretend you’ve come across your own brochure. When looking at the front ask yourself what kind of information you would want to find inside. Write down and answer any questions you may have. You can use these in your brochure.  Identify your target audience. You want to think about where people will pick up this brochure. Who these people are. Are you writing your brochure to an individual consumer who is looking for a product or service? Or are you writing your brochure for a team of investors and board members? Your voice and tone and even the information you provide will be different based on who is going to be reading your brochure. If you’re writing about all the ways you can customize a kitchen to a potential customer, your tone may be more lighthearted and include more lifestyle information. Include info for options on materials and different builds. Focus on how what you offer will make your customers feel. You want to create content that the benefits you can provide.

Use a sharp knife to shave the beef into very thin slices. Cut the onion and shiitake mushrooms into moderately thin slices, as well.  To save yourself time and effort, ask the butcher to slice the beef very thinly before packaging it. If the butcher does not slice the beef, freeze it for 1 hour before slicing it yourself. Partially frozen meat is easier to cut than fully thawed meat. The slices of beef should be just a little thicker than cold cut lunchmeat is. This thinness is key. Beef that is too thick will not cook quickly enough. The slices of onion and mushroom should both be approximately 1/3 inch (1 cm) thick. Place the butter in a medium saucepan and set it on the stove. Heat over medium for a few minutes, just until the butter is completely melted. Add the sliced onions and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the melted butter. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes. The onion should become translucent and the shiitake mushrooms should feel notably tender. Add both alcohols to the saucepan. Cook for another 2 minutes. During this time, most of the actual alcohol should burn away, leaving only the flavor behind. Add the water, Dashi powder, soy sauce, sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the contents of the saucepan. Stir to combine. Allow the contents of the pan to reach a steady simmer before continuing. Place the thin slices of raw beef in the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 3 to 5 minutes.  Use cooking chopsticks or tongs to carefully separate the beef slices as they cook. Doing so can help prevent the beef from sticking together. This may seem like an abnormally short cooking time, but if the beef has been sliced to an adequately thin size, it should be plenty. Do not overcook the beef since it can easily become dry. Fill two serving bowls with freshly steamed white rice. Divide the gyudon evenly and spread it over the rice in both bowls. For an even more authentic experience, prepare Asian-style sticky rice or sushi rice instead of relying on instant rice. Top each...

Buckle the helmet onto your head and fasten the Velcro on your elbow and knee pads. When you ride a Ripstik, you can move at rather fast speeds and have the potential to fall and hurt yourself. To prevent hurting your head, arms, and legs, wear a helmet and protective padding. It’s also helpful to have a pair of sneakers with rubber soles. They help you stabilize your feet on the board. It is much easier to balance if you have a friend who can support your weight as you stand on the board. Grasp their shoulder as you get balanced, then let go of them when your footing feels secure. If you don’t have a friend, lean on a wall or railing to help you get on the board. To get started, find a flat paved surface to practice on. This can be a sidewalk, driveway, or empty parking lot, for instance. Place the RipStik on the ground so it rests on its side. The board should face you and the wheels should point away from you. Avoid riding through areas with cracks, speed bumps, water, and sand. Any of these may throw off your balance and cause you to fall. The front of the board is slightly more narrow, and this is called the “nose.” If your right foot is your dominant foot, place your left foot at the nose of the board. When you ride a RipStik, the nose must be facing forward.  Riding with your left foot in front is referred to as riding "regular." Riding "goofy" is when you ride with your right foot on the nose of the board. The larger end called the tail of the board. After one of your feet is centered on the nose, use your other foot to gain some momentum, and then square your foot on the center of the board. Move your foot in one quick motion so you can easily find your balance. At this point, both feet should be centered on each end of the board.  You’ll find that speed equals stability when riding a RipStik, so pushing with one of your feet will help you get balanced. If a friend is helping you, they can let go at this time. If you are struggling to maintain your balance, try pushing off with a bit more force and...

TL;DR in English: Put on a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads to stay safe. Have a friend help you balance if you need help getting on the board. Put your RipStik on a smooth, flat surface. Place your non-dominant foot on the nose of the board. Push off with your dominant foot and place it on the tail. Reposition your footing if your feet are not centered. Maintain your balance as the board is moving. Step off the RipStik when you want to stop.

Now that you have your thesis statement and your outline, focus on composing content for each part of the essay. Try to spend two to three minutes on each body paragraph. Then, take three minutes on your conclusion paragraph and go back to your introduction. Spend the last three minutes revising your introduction so it matches the tone and perspective of the rest of your essay. There are several possible hooks you can use in your essay to draw your reader in.  An interesting or surprising example: This could be a personal experience or a key moment in the life of the historical figure you are discussing in your essay. For example, you may discuss Anthony’s childhood as a Quaker and her later adoption of more casual dress and growing interest in social reform at the age of 26.  A provocative quotation: This could be from a source you used for your essay or one that feels relevant to your topic. For example, you may use a well known quote from Anthony, such as: “Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.”  A vivid anecdote: An anecdote is a very short story that carries moral or symbolic weight. Think of an anecdote that might be a poetic or powerful way to start your essay. A thought provoking question: create a question that will get your reader thinking and engaged in your topic. For example: “Did you ever wonder how women received the right to vote in the United States?” Focus on fleshing out each paragraph with at least one example of your main point. Sign-post each paragraph by beginning with a strong argumentative point that links to a supporting example of your main point. If you use an essay on Susan B. Anthony as an example:  Body paragraph 1: You may start by discussing...

An “I” statement is more likely to lead to a good outcome than starting your sentences with “You.” “You” statements tend to put people on the defensive. Work on phrasing anything you say to your mom so that it starts with “I.” For example, instead of saying, “You never let me have any time to myself,” you might say something like, “I am feeling a little stressed right now, so I would appreciate some time to myself.” If you ask your mom for something, and she says no, do not throw a temper tantrum. If you do, your mom will likely never change her mind. Instead, remain calm and explain your position. Your mom is more likely to understand your side if you communicate in a calm and rational manner. If you just walked in the door and your mom wants you to complete your chores immediately, you could respond by saying: "I need 30 minutes to unwind after school and then I will do my chores." This is more productive than starting a fight with your mom by refusing to do any chores. When you are having a conversation with your mom it is important that you actively listen to what she is saying. Try to make eye contact with her and don’t just look at your phone the whole time. This will cause her to become frustrated and will make it appear as though you are not trying to understand her position. Once you and your mom are able to communicate in a respectful manner and listen to the perspective of the other person, then you will likely be able to come to a compromise on a few key issues. A successful compromise will allow you both to feel as though you reached an appropriate solution.  For example, perhaps you could agree to clean your room if you are allowed to stay out with friends an hour later. Keep in mind that you may not always come to a compromise. If this happens, then work on a compromise for the next issue that comes up.

TL;DR in English: Use “I” statements. Remain calm. Listen to what she says. Try to find a compromise.

so it’s easier to breathe. Poor posture compresses your lungs and airways, making it harder for you to breathe. Improve your posture by straightening your spine when you’re sitting or standing. Additionally, roll your shoulders back and tilt your chin up. This may help you breathe better. Look in the mirror to check out your posture. Practice standing or sitting up straight until it feels natural to you. You may struggle to breathe while you're lying down, especially at night. If this happens, use pillows or a wedge to prop up your upper body. This will take some of the pressure off your lungs so you can breathe better while you sleep. You might also try putting a folded blanket under your pillow. Air pollution can affect your lungs and airways, making it harder for you to breathe. While you might not be able to avoid all air pollution, you can reduce your exposure to it. Here are some ways to avoid exposure to common air pollutants:  Avoid spending time outdoors around pollutants. Stay away from allergens. Don’t use perfumes and colognes. Stop using air fresheners. Pick fragrance-free personal care products and cleaners. Avoid burning candles or incense. Clean your home often to prevent dust and mold. Step away when someone is smoking to avoid second-hand smoke. If you're sensitive to a food you're eating, it may cause holes in your intestines that allow bacteria and food particles to escape into your body. This triggers inflammation and illness in your body as it tries to fight off the invaders. The inflammation can cause breathing issues and allergies. To help you heal, do an elimination diet to improve your gut health. Eliminate common food allergies like milk, gluten, eggs, soy, sugar, nuts, and caffeine for 3-4 weeks. Once you start to feel better, add the foods back 1 at a time to see if they affect you. Stop eating any foods that make your symptoms return.

On a fake pair of Yeezys, the stitching is a messy criss-cross. The real ones have neat stitching that creates an “X” on both sides with a square separating them. Fake Yeezys could have any number of dots, but real Yeezys have exactly 9 in the center box.  The dots outside the rectangle don't count. On fake Yeezys, the stripes look like they've been printed on. A quick way to verify the shoe’s authenticity is by judging the material. A fake pair of Yeezys has a softer fabric, making it easy to identify as a counterfeit. The shoe’s tongue is another dead giveaway regarding its realness. A fake pair of Yeezy's soft material makes the tongue slouchier, while a real pair stands straight up.

TL;DR in English: Look for messy stitching. Count the red dots on the heel tab. See how the stripes on the inside of the heel tab blend in. Check the material’s quality.

Get a generous amount of wax on your fingers. Run it through your roots with your fingertips, which will help with volume, and hit the pieces that float around your face. Finish the ends off with gel, which will help prevent flyaways. Start with blow-dried hair for this process. Separate your hair into sections, and begin applying the wax throughout the hair. Use a generous amount, as you want your hair pretty much soaked in the wax. Gels have too much water in them. They'll make your hair spring back to curls. Start with a leave-in conditioner. Spritz it in to your hair and work it in lightly with your fingers. Add a generous amount of gel to help keep your curls sleek. Use your fingers to work the gel into your hair in sections. For curls that are even more defined, try twisting small strands of hair around your fingers. For a wet ponytail look, comb the pomade in section by section until you've covered all of the hair. Pomade also works on curly hair because it flattens the curls out as you comb it through. If you want to leave your hair down but create a sleek look at the top, work the pomade into the roots with your fingers. Use a fine-tooth comb to work the pomade through the hair, stopping about midway down.

Sometimes it may be hard to get into a book, even if you have a comfy spot, good lighting, and no distractions. If there aren’t any immediate time constraints, consider putting down the book and coming back to it at a later time. Try to choose a more relaxing time to revisit the book. For instance, you may find that you are better able to focus early in the morning, after working out, or when all your chores or tasks are done for the day. Your brain absorbs the unfolding of the story and information better when you read paper books. This is because you can observe the thickness of the book and use your body to interact with it (turning the pages, for example) while reading. If you prefer e-readers, that’s okay too! However, if you are struggling to understand books, try reading a paper one and take note of any changes that occur in your comprehension. When you get to the end of a chapter or section of a book, stop and ask yourself if you understand the major themes and events. If you recall what happened and have a good understanding, feel free to proceed. If you don’t, though, you should refresh your memory by going back over the previous pages, chapters, or sections. Keep a notebook next to you while you read. Use several different pieces of paper to keep track of main characters or key terms, major plot points, big-picture questions, and things that confuse you. You can refer to these notes later to remember what the book was about. This is especially helpful for academic texts. When reading a book for pleasure, however, frequently stopping can disrupt the flow of your reading. Talking about books is a great way to really understand them. Other people may notice things you didn’t, and vice versa. Talk to your friends or go to your local library to join or organize a club. You can also find book clubs and forums for discussion online.

The Better Business Bureau website includes a verification process that you can use to validate your selected website. Note that the Better Business Bureau is geared toward matching businesses with your provided website. If you're simply trying to see if the website is safe, use the Google Transparency Report.   For best results, copy and paste the exact URL into this field.  While this isn't mandatory, doing so will narrow your search. If you don't know your business' geographic location, skip this step.  You can verify your website's credibility by comparing the Better Business Bureau's results with the website's claims.  For example, if your website claims to sell shoes but the Better Business Bureau links the URL to an ad revenue service, you know that the site is a scam. However, if the Better Business Bureau results line up with the site's theme, you can probably trust the site.

Cut off the end of the rectangle. Measure and cut 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) sections across the rectangle. Stack the strips until you are ready to use them.

The first time you mention someone, include their full name (e.g., “Shannon Murnan will become the COO of Toys, Unlimited.”). For subsequent mentions, use their last name only (e.g., “Murnan has 20 years of experience with the company and is prepared to take over day-to-day operations.”). Avoid using fancy fonts or lettering and stylistic additions. Keep your press release simple and straightforward. Type it in Times New Roman font, and single-space the text. Though it may seem like a small detail, you should only use one space after punctuation, rather than two. Editors notice small details, and too many little errors can get your press release sent to the trash. The numbers one through nine should be spelled out, while numerals are used for 10 and above. This goes for cardinal (1, 2, 3, etc.) as well as ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) numbers.  For example, “On Saturday, 250 people attended the ninth annual historical pageant.” You should use figures to indicate time, such as “6 p.m.” rather than “six o’clock.” The Oxford, or serial, comma is used before the word “and” to separate items or phrases in a list. The Associated Press style doesn’t use the Oxford comma, so take care not to add it to your press release. For example, write “Designers Jay Hall, Katie Button and Taylor Sullivan will show their collections on Sunday.” This is opposed to “Designers Jay Hall, Katie Button, and Taylor Sullivan will show their collections on Sunday.”

TL;DR in English: Include a person’s full name on the first mention only. Use single-spaced Times New Roman font. Put one space after punctuation. Write out numbers smaller than 10. Avoid using the Oxford comma.

Place your clear ruler across the shorter area of the rectangle so that it is about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the edge. Then, run the rotary cutter along the edge of the ruler to cut this 0.5 in (1.3 cm) strip off of the rectangle. After you remove the end piece, turn the piece of fabric around and begin cutting 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) sections all the way across the rectangle. You can make your strips smaller or larger if desired by increasing or decreasing the width of the strips. Make sure to cut across the shortest portion of the rectangle. In other words, cut width-wise, not lengthwise. After you cut the strips, stack them up and tie them with the first 0.5 in (1.3 cm) piece of fabric that you cut. This will keep the bias binding strips together until you are ready to use them.

Consider therapy. Understand treatment options. Explore medication options.

You can usually repair a flat just by changing the tube. However, your tire may need to be replaced if it’s damaged beyond repair. This might mean a large break or puncture. It may also be beyond repair if the treads are worn down, the tire is dry rotted, or the tire is very old. If this is the case, you can buy a new set of tires from a local bike store or online.  You’ll need to buy a set of tires labeled for use on your bicycle model. It’s best to get them from the manufacturer. Tires are sold folded up in a package. Usually, the package will contain a set of tires. Always change both tires if you need to change one. Otherwise, the tires won’t match and you risk having a blow out on one of them, particularly the older tire.

TL;DR in English: Buy a new set of tires only if you can’t repair it or the treads are worn.

While it is possible to defeat your addiction to stealing on your own with a great deal of determination, it may also be helpful to consider treatment. The best form of help will be counseling with a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Therapy combined with medication can be effective in treating kleptomania or compulsive stealing. Be reassured that therapy for kleptomania/compulsive stealing can be very successful in helping you to overcome this disorder, but also remember the outcome depends on how badly you want it and how much you are willing to work for it! The most common forms of therapy for stealing include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic treatment, and Group therapy/12-step programs. CBT helps people change their thinking in order to change their feelings and behaviors. DBT is focused on teaching individuals distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Psychodynamic interventions look into your past and upbringing in order to identify the causes of problems and find ways to solve current issues. 12-step programs focus on addictions to substances, but there are also 12-step programs for stealing in particular.  You can discuss these options with a mental health professional. There are also ways you can explore these types of therapy on your own through self-help measures. For example, CBT involves changing your thoughts in order to change you feelings and behaviors. Several medications have been indicated in the treatment of kleptomania including Prozac and Revia. Consult a psychiatrist for additional information or to discuss psychotropic options.

It's tougher to figure out square roots of numbers that are not whole. But it's possible.  Let’s say you want to find the square root of 20. You know that 16 is a perfect square with a square root of 4 (4X4=16). Similarly, 25 has a square root of 5 (5X5=25), so the square root of 20 must fall in between 4 and 5. You could guess that 20’s square root is 4.5. Now, simply square 4.5 to check your guess. That means you multiply it by itself: 4.5X4.5. See if the answer is above or below 20. If the guess seems off, simply try another guess (maybe 4.6 or 4.4) and refine your guess until you hit 20.  For example, 4.5X4.5 = 20.25, so logically you should try a smaller number, probably 4.4. 4.4X4.4 = 19.36. Thus, the square root of 20 must lie in between 4.5 and 4.4. How about 4.445X4.445. That’s 19.758. It’s closer. If you keep trying different numbers using this process, you will eventually get to 4.475X4.475 = 20.03. Rounding off, that’s 20. This process also starts with you trying to find the closest whole numbers that your number falls in between.  Then, divide your number by one of those square root numbers.  Take the answer, and find the average of it and the number you divided by (average is just the sum of those two numbers divided by two). Then take the original number and divide it by the average you got. Finally, find the average of that answer with the first average you got. Sound complicated? It can be easiest to follow an example. For example, 10 lies in between the 2 perfect square numbers of 9 (3X3=9) and 16 (4X4=16). The square roots of those numbers are 3 and 4. So, divide 10 by the first number, 3. You will get 3.33. Now, average the 3 and 3.33 by adding them together and dividing them by 2. You will get 3.1667. Now take 10 divided by 3.1667. The answer is 3.1579. Now, average 3.1579 and 3.1667 by adding them together and dividing the sum you get by two. You will get 3.1623. Check your work by multiplying your answer (in this case 3.1623) by itself. Indeed, 3.1623 multiplied by 3.1623 equals 10.001.

In a small bowl, mix the juice from 1/4 lemon with 1 tablespoon of yogurt or honey. Wash your face with warm water to open the pores. Spread the lemon mixture thickly over the dark areas, then allow the mask to dry. Gently rinse your skin clean with warm water.  You can also blot a makeup pad with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and sugar. Scrub the dark area for 2-3 minutes, then rinse with water. For a heavier treatment, slice a lemon into halves and squeeze the juice onto the dark skin. Rinse after 10 minutes. Avoid sun exposure after using lemon. Use these treatments at night, when you won't see UV rays for a while. If used on your whole face, lemon juice will lighten your whole complexion, not just your dark spots. Spread Aloe Vera gel or its fresh extracts on the dark areas. This will moisturize your skin and help it heal. Aloe Vera is most helpful if your skin is dark from sun exposure. Use a fairly equal amount of each ingredient, enough to cover the dark area. Spread the mixture around your mouth and leave it on your face for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water. This treatment may help your skin heal. Prepare a paste using 2 tablespoons of gram flour, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and half a cup of yogurt. Spread the paste onto the dark area. Leave the treatment for 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Prepare a scrub with 1 tablespoon of oatmeal, 1 teaspoon of tomato juice, and 1 teaspoon of yogurt. Mix the ingredients well. Rub the scrub gently onto the skin for 3-5 minutes. Wash it off after 15 minutes.

Hot showers and baths can dry out your skin, worsening your condition. Shower once daily, for about  10 to 15 minutes. Use gentle, nonabrasive soap. Bleach and vinegar baths can also prevent or end staph infections in your eczema.  Take bleach baths to kill bacteria and prevent outbreaks. Use half a cup of bleach for a full bathtub and soak for approximately 10 minutes. Try to use this procedure approximately two to three times a week.  For a more natural antibacterial bath, add between one cup and one pint of vinegar. If, during a significant flare-up, your skin is too irritated for bath water, try adding salt. Put one cup of table salt in the water to reduce discomfort. To reduce itching, try baking soda or oatmeal baths. Throw in approximately a cup of either to sooth your skin. To avoid abrasive contact after your shower, do not rub yourself with the towel. Instead, you should try to pat yourself dry softly with the towel. Within three minutes of washing, you should apply a moisturizer to trap the moisture in your skin. This is important to reduce dryness. Reapply moisturizer several times throughout the day.  Some people recommend taking the shower and using a moisturizer before going to bed at night. This makes it less likely that your skin will dry out during the night.  Lotions often evaporate too quickly to effectively treat dry skin and creams have additional ingredients that can cause adverse reactions in people with eczema. The best moisturizers for those with eczema are ointments like petroleum jelly and mineral oil. These should not be adulterated with perfumes or other ingredients. Pure petroleum jelly is best, even though many people dislike the feeling of it.  Look for a cream or ointment with ceramides, which help in keeping a good skin barrier. You can also use food-grade oils such as coconut oil, which has some antimicrobial activity. If you are having an outbreak, the last thing you want to do is aggravate the skin. Avoid rough, scratchy fabrics and clothes that are overly tight. A...

TL;DR in English: Take lukewarm showers or baths. Pat skin dry. Apply moisturizer shortly after washing. Wear soft, cotton fabrics. Use a humidifier. Reduce stress. Refrain from scratching. Figure out your triggers.

Using proper body positioning in the backswing, downswing, impact, and finish of each can ease your discomfort and prevent further pain. If you’re just starting a game or are coming back from an injury, decrease how long each swing is. Performing shorter swings can help you maintain your balance, gain mobility gradually and safely, and reduce stress on your back. As you enter your back swing, keep your right knee bent as you turn your left shoulder downward. This allows you to progress into your downswing in the proper position that can ease discomfort and prevent injury or further pain. As you move from the backswing into your downswing, engage your thigh and butt muscles by lightly squatting down. You might even feel like you’re about to leap off the ground. Making this gentle squat motion promotes lateral motion that reduces how much you twist your spine and hips. This can ease back pain and prevent further stress or injury to it. Check to see if about 90% of your body weight is over your left leg as you move from your downswing to hitting the ball. Recognize if your hips and shoulders are becoming level and turning open during the movement. Make adjustments to your back- and downswings if your body weight is over the right leg, which means you used your spine to rotate towards your target. This ensures that you don’t put too much stress on your back or cause additional pain. Push forward with your hips toward your target hole. Then stand up straight as the ball heads towards its target. This can absorb any stress in your back and make each swing more comfortable during your game.

TL;DR in English: Reduce your swing length. Bend the right knee and left shoulder downward for your backswing. Make a squat move for the downswing. Ensure your body weight is over your left leg at impact. Thrust your pelvis toward the target to finish.

For example, you can use your state-issued photo ID, such as a valid driver’s license. If you are a non-citizen, then bring your Resident Alien ID card. You can use other forms of identification if you don’t have a driver’s license with your current address listed on it. For example, you should take at least two of the following: utility bills, lease agreement, voter registration card, property tax statement, or income tax records. You’ll apply at the county courthouse where you live. Find the phone number online or in the phone book and call to check on the fees. You can also find a list of probate courts at this website: http://gaprobate.gov/content/find-your-courts. Click on your county.  The average fee is $75, but each county sets its own fees.  Also ask about acceptable methods of payment. Some counties won’t accept bills larger than a $20. You have to go to the courthouse yourself so you can have your picture taken for the application. Tell the clerk you want to apply for a firearms license. They will give you an application. The court will mail your license to you, but you’ll need to provide a self-addressed, stamped envelope. If you don’t provide one, then you’ll need to stop in and pick up your license when it is ready. After you apply at the courthouse, you’ll need to have your fingerprints taken. In some counties, you’ll have to go to the police department to give fingerprints. The clerk should tell you where to go. About five days after you apply, the judge will request a criminal history check. Law enforcement will analyze your criminal history and should make a decision about 30 days later.  If you don’t hear anything after 30 days, contact the court. Georgia law allows you to sue if you’ve been unlawfully denied a gun license.  When your license arrives, it will be inflexible and shaped like a driver’s license.

Dab at a fresh stain with a makeup remover wipe. Pick up powdered highlighters with clear tape. Pat at liquid makeup with dishwashing soap and water. Apply a dollop of shaving cream for an older stain. Pre-treat the stain and wash as you normally would.

Utah law generally requires a period of 90 days between the date you file the petition and the date the judge signs your final order, regardless of whether you and your spouse agree. The state requires couples with minor children to attend a divorce orientation class and a divorce education class before divorce is granted.  You must pay a $30 fee to attend the classes, which you can attend online. The fee is discounted by $15 if you attend the class in person within 30 days of the day the petition is filed.  The orientation course educates parents about divorce and its alternatives, including resources to improve the marriage and resolve custody issues, along with procedural alternatives to divorce. The education course discusses how children experience divorce, ways to communicate, and how parents can help their children, among other issues. If your spouse files an answer, Utah law requires you to attend at least one mediation session to attempt to resolve your differences.  You and your spouse are responsible for finding a mediator and paying for their services. You can request a list of qualified mediators by calling the Divorce Mediation Help Line at 1-800-620-6318.  If you do not feel safe attending mediation or feel you won't be able to fully express yourself due to an extreme level of conflict between you and your spouse, you can apply to have the mediation requirement waived. If you need the court to resolve certain issues such as use of the marital home or child custody and support while the divorce is pending, you can request a temporary order that will remain into effect until the judge signs your final divorce order.

TL;DR in English: Complete the 90-day waiting period. Take divorce education classes. Comply with mandatory mediation. Request a temporary order.

If you're getting ready, this trick may save you if the stain is fresh. As soon as you see it happen, grab a wipe and dab gently at the stain until it comes up. Don't rub too hard, as you could push the makeup into the fabric. Apply a piece of tape over the area with the sticky side down. Once it's adhered, lift the tape up to remove the color. Use a clean piece of tape to try a second time if you don't get it all up the first time. If any makeup is left behind, rub at it with a clean, dry sponge. Mix a few drops of dishwashing soap into a cup of water. Dip a clean rag or sponge into the mixture and apply it to the stain. Dab at it until the stain comes up. Squirt the shaving cream on the stain; use enough to cover the stain completely. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then wipe the shaving cream away with a clean cloth dipped in cool water. The stain should be gone. If it doesn't work, try the shaving cream again or move on to a different method. Apply a spray stain remover to the area or simply pour a little detergent directly on the stain. Let it sink in for a few minutes and then wash the garment as you normally would. Check it when it comes out of the wash before drying it. If the stain isn't gone, try another stain removal technique before putting it in the dryer, which may set the stain. Alternatively, rub the area with a little bar soap.

While the chicken marinates, make a sauce for sauteeing. Use a small bowl to stir your ingredients together. Combine your wet ingredients first: 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar; 1 tablespoon soy sauce; 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce; 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Then whisk in 2 teaspoons of cornstarch.  Chinese black vinegar works just as well as balsamic.  Add 2 teaspoons of sugar for a touch of sweetness. Ground Sichuan peppers also make a nice addition. Use your remaining time to cut and measure your other ingredients. Mince 2 cloves of garlic. Chop half of a green bell pepper and half of a red bell pepper into rough chunks. Slice 4 scallions (slice the white parts very thinly, while cutting the green parts into inch-long strips). Once you’re done, measure out the following: ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; ¼ teaspoon ground ginger; ¼ cup roasted peanuts.  Instead of fresh peppers, spice your dish up with about 8 dried red chiles, with whole or halved, with or without the seeds and membranes.  You can add 1 ounce of hot chile paste to your sauce instead of whole chiles. Once your chicken has marinated, set a large skillet or wok on your stovetop. Coat it with 1 to 2 tablespoons of cooking oil (peanut or vegetable), as needed. Set the burner to high.

You will need six 2x4 pieces of wood to make one board. Use a mitre saw or a hand saw to cut the boards. Always use caution when using power tools. Don’t forget to factor in the saw’s blade width. If you are not familiar with using a mitre or hand saw, ask an employee at the lumberyard to cut your wood for you. Make sure you bring the correct measurements to the lumberyard. Cut 2 of the 2x4s so that each is 48 inches (121.9 cm) long (these will be the sides of the frame). Cut 2 of the 2x4s so that each is 16 inches (40.6 cm) long (these will be the legs that will be used later). Place the 21-inch boards in between the 48-inch boards. Use two screws for each corner. Drill your holes with a drill bit that is slightly smaller than your screws. This ensures that your wood won’t split when you drill the screws in, and allows the screws to go into the wood more easily. Again, before drilling in your screws, drill holes with a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the screws you will be using. Use 4 screws across the top, 4 screws across the bottom, and 2 on each side. the screws so that you can cover them with putty later on.
