Check your owner's manual for the types of fluid you can check at home. Park your car on level ground. Find the engine oil dipstick. Find your engine coolant tank. Locate your power steering fluid tank. Make sure the fluid is warm. Turn the engine back off. Remove the power steering cap by turning it counter-clockwise. Track down your master cylinder (brakes) reservoir. Check your windshield washer tank.

You will need 1 stick for each side of the frame. If you'd like a thicker frame, glue 2 sticks together to make a wide popsicle stick. Place 2 popsicle sticks down in front of you, vertically. Place a drop of glue onto the top and bottom of each stick. Lay 2 sticks across horizontally the vertical sticks to form a square. The best glue to use is hot glue, because it dries fast. You can also use school glue or wood glue instead, but it will take a few hours to dry. Paint your frame using markers or acrylic paint. Let the frame dry, then decorate it further. You can write something on it, such as "Daddy and Me" or "I Love You Mommy." You can also glue things onto it, such as glitter, gemstones, or buttons. For more decorating ideas, click here. Photos can be precious, so it is best to use a photocopy instead of an original photo. Try to just a little bit inside the lines you drew. This way, your photo won't stick out from behind your frame. Gluing the photo will make it permanent. If you only tape the photo, however, you can take it out again later and change it out for another photo. Cut a piece of ribbon, about 12 inches (30.48 centimeters) long. Flip your frame over and place a drop of glue in the upper left and right corner. Press each end of the ribbon into each drop of glue. Let the glue dry, then hang your frame. Flip your frame over, and place a drop of glue on the top and bottom of your frame. Press a magnet into the glue, and wait for the glue to dry. Place the frame onto your fridge.

TL;DR in English: Find 4 popsicle sticks. Glue 4 popsicle sticks together to make a square and wait until the glue dries. Paint and decorate your frame. Trace your frame onto your photo using a pen. Cut the photo out. Glue or tape your photo to the back of the frame. Add a ribbon to the back of your frame if you want to hang it. Consider gluing 2 magnets to the back of your frame so that you can put it on the fridge instead. Finished.

The manual should also tell you how much of each fluid you need, and the type of antifreeze your car uses. If one of the warning lights is lit on your dashboard, you can check the manual for what the light indicates (usually oil or coolant). When one of these lights are on, it is a sign that a leak is possible. If you are pointing uphill or downhill the fluid in your tanks may read more or less than is actually there. It is important to check fluids on level ground. In many vehicles it usually has a yellow handle. If you have difficulty locating the dipstick, look in your owner's manual.  Pull out the dipstick, wipe it off with a paper towel or rag, and reinsert it. Pull the dipstick out again and examine it horizontally. There are two indicator marks, one is the top level and the other the lower level. The amount of oil should be between these two marks.  Wipe off the dipstick with a towel and place it back into the reservoir tank if it is at a normal level. If it isn't between the two lines, this indicates a possible oil leak. Do this when your engine is cold, and look to see if the fluid level is between the hot and cold marks on the tank. Sometimes you may have to take off the radiator cap to see clearly, depending on the color of your tank. If the fluid is below the cold line or is completely empty, you definitely have an antifreeze leak. This is the reservoir for your power steering fluid. Let your engine run at idling speed for a few minutes and turn the steering wheel back and forth several times. This should be done before proceeding to checking your fluid levels. The dipstick is usually built into the cap with an indicator mark. If the liquid is below this mark or there's none on the stick, then you may have a leak. There should be a marker line on the side of the reservoir. If you cannot see the fluid clearly, you can unscrew the cap and look inside.  If the fluid is very low or gone, you have a leak. It is normal to have a slight decrease in fluid if your brake pads are worn down. If you think...

This method works well with these makeup products because they are usually oil-based. Dish soap will not harm most fabrics. Using the tissue, sheet of toilet paper, or paper towel, gently pat the stain to remove any excess makeup. Do not rub the stain as this could make the makeup spread. You can run your fingers through some water, then lightly pat the stain. You can also find a 1/2 teaspoon, then pour it over the stained area. Do not use hot water as it can cause the fabric to absorb the stain. If you are worried about how the soap may affect silk or wool, try it on a small area first before attempting to clean the stain. With your index finger, gently spread the soap so it covers the entire stained surface. A thin layer of soap on the stain is all you need. When choosing a dish soap, pick a strong grease fighting formula at your local grocery or convenience store. Use a cloth towel to gently massage the soap into the stain. Start from the outside corners and work in; rub the soap into the stain in a circular motion. A small terry cloth would work best for this step. The loops of the cloth help remove the makeup from the fabric. If this is not available, you can use a regular hand towel. To help with stubborn stains, use an old toothbrush to massage the soap into the stain instead of a cloth. This will allow the soap to do the stain-fighting without the burden of washing. Do not wait until the soap is all dry. Do not rub the stain, rather dab the area so the towel absorbs the soap and makeup. Rubbing can create friction and leave more makeup or towel pieces behind. Depending on how old the stain is, you may have to repeat these steps until you see a significant amount of makeup is removed from your clothing. The bigger the stain, the longer this process may take.

TL;DR in English: Blot the stain with a clean tissue to remove lipstick, eyeliner, or mascara from your clothing. Spritz with cold water. Apply a drop of dish soap onto the stain. Rub the soap into the stain. Allow the soap to set into the fabric for 10-15 minutes. Pat clean with a dry towel. Repeat if necessary.

The easiest and cheapest way to chemically coat your paper with flame retardants is buying it rather than making it. There are sprays and chemicals available at home improvement stores and on the internet. Follow the directions on the packaging for coating paper. Avoid products that have noxious or toxic chemicals. Since you will likely be keeping this paper in your home, confining chemicals in your living area may be hazardous to your health. Do not buy products labeled ‘poison,’ ‘warning,’ or ‘danger.’ If you want to make your own flame resistant coating, you can do it with a couple chemicals. You can find boric acid powder in many insecticides and repellents. Borax is available by itself, as it is often used as a ‘detergent booster.’ You will also need a gallon bucket and some warm water to mix the compound. Finally, get together a towel to test your solution and a clean paintbrush (or spray bottle) to apply the solution. Put 50 grams of boric acid powder and 60 grams of borax into a half gallon of hot water. Use a stirring implement like a wooden spoon or stick to dissolve the powders into the water. It is advisable to use an implement you can immediately throw away. You certainly shouldn’t use an implement you cook with. Put the rag or cloth into the bucket and soak it thoroughly. Hang it outside to dry and wait until it is completely dry. When it is dry, hold a flame under one of the corners. The cloth should turn black, but if it burns, you did not add enough powder. Play with the amounts of each chemical you added to get a combination that works. Use a fresh cloth every time you tweak the measurements. You will need to soak the paper thoroughly with the solution to make it flame resistant. Use the paint brush, spray bottle, or other implement (use your imagination) to make sure you cover every inch of the paper with plenty of solution. You can even try soaking the paper in the solution. Put it in a tray and submerge the paper, as with developing and printing photographs.

TL;DR in English: Look for flame retardant chemicals. Get boric acid powder and borax. Mix the solution in the bucket. Test the solution. Apply your solution to the paper.

You can help yourself maintain a lead or get a lead by playing certain types of words. If you are trailing your opponent(s), your best bet is to play words that will open up the board and give you opportunities to make better plays. If you are in the lead, then you should play words that will keep the board closed off to your opponents and reduce their opportunities to make better plays. Advanced Scrabble players are always looking ahead to what their opponents might do. Get into the habit of considering what your opponent may do if you play a certain word and try to block any premium squares that your opponent may want to use during his or her turn. Keep in mind that blocking your opponent may not always be possible, but if you do it whenever possible, it may help you to hold onto your lead and win the game.

While it varies from company to company, you usually must either cancel by mail or phone. Some companies will let you cancel online. Call the company or go online to find the best method for your company.  To cancel by mail, print off the cancellation form online or ask the company to send it to you. To cancel online, look for the "cancel policy" button under your policy details. To cancel by phone, call the company's insurance department and ask for the cancellation department. You don't have to wait until your renewal date to cancel your policy. You can cancel any time during the year, so shop around if you'd like. If you're buying a new policy, you should have it in place before you cancel your old one. In some states, the company most notify the DMV when you cancel or get a new policy, so the state can fine you for the gap. Plus, if you get in an accident, you could be in serious trouble without insurance. In addition, sometimes rates will be higher if you a lapse between policies. In some states, you need proof of your new insurance policy before your old company will cancel the policy. In these states, if you don't have a new policy, you will need to show you have surrendered your plates. Call the DMV or go online to find out what your state requires. If you're not switching to a new insurance policy, some states require that you give your license plates back to the state before your policy can be cancelled. Check if your state requires it by calling the DMV or visiting the website for your state. You may think stopping payment is a good way to cancel your insurance. However, it's likely your credit score will take hit because of it. Plus, if you're switching companies, your new insurance company won't look favorably on this type of cancellation. It could raise your rates or be a reason for the new company to cancel your insurance.

TL;DR in English: Contact your insurance company to find out the ways you can cancel. Cancel when it's best for you. Purchase a new policy before cancellation. Show proof of your new insurance. Surrender your license plates to the state. Don't just stop paying your insurance.

Stretching can help restore mobility and strengthen your tendons. However, it’s best to seek advice from a medical professional before you begin a stretching routine. Stretching before you’re ready can lead to further injury. A doctor or physical therapist can also demonstrate how to perform stretches properly. Begin stretching only when you can move your shoulder with little to no pain. Move slowly and gently and hold the position when you feel a comfortable stretch. The goal of stretching is to gradually increase your range of motion. If you can only raise your shoulder slightly, don’t try to push through pain to raise your arm over your head. Walk briskly or jog lightly until you break a sweat. Getting your blood pumping will loosen your muscles and help prevent a stretching-related injury. Raise the affected arm across your chest, and bring your elbow as close to the opposite shoulder as comfortably possible. Grasp the affected arm’s elbow with your opposite hand, and gently pull it to increase the stretch.  Hold the stretch for 10 to 15 seconds, and do 5 to 10 repetitions. Raise your arm only as much as you comfortably can. Don’t get discouraged if you can't reach all the way across your chest. Your range of motion will improve with time. Raise both arms above your head with your elbows facing outward. Extend your elbows so they’re straight and interlock your fingers with the backs of your hands facing your head. Hold the stretch for 10 to 15 seconds, lower your arms, then do a total of 5 to 10 repetitions. If you can’t fully extend your arms straight above your head, bend your elbows and raise your arms as high as you comfortably can. Hold an end of a towel or stick with your hand on your unaffected side. Bring the hand of your affected arm behind your back to the opposite hip with your elbow bent at a 90 degree angle. Raise your unaffected hand above and behind your head, and grasp the towel or stick behind your back with both hands.  Gently pull the towel or stick upward with your unaffected arm until...

TL;DR in English: Consult a doctor or physical therapist to avoid worsening your injury. Don't try to stretch beyond your limits. Warm up for at least 5 to 10 minutes before stretching. Stretch your arm across your body for 10 to 15 seconds. Reach your arms above your head for 10 to 15 seconds. Do 5 to 10 behind the back stretches. Lean into a corner to do external rotation stretches.

Worse means "of a lower quality; less attractive, pleasing, etc; more serious or severe." Worse is a form of the word bad. Worse is an example of a comparative adjective. Comparative adjectives are used to compare the characteristics of the objects they modify. They will be used with 2 nouns in a sentence, which include physical objects, concepts, places, and people.  I think eggplant is worse than boiled cabbage, but that's just my opinion. That red dress looks worse on you than the white one. Which is worse for your health, smoking or drinking? Since worse is a comparative word, it is commonly used with the word than when comparing the 2 nouns. The sentences commonly following the following pattern:  Noun + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun.  Winter weather is worse than summer weather. One tricky use of worse is when 2 or more objects act as a group noun and you need to refer to them as a single object. The car is worse than the other 2 you showed me. In this example, the 2 things being compared are car and the other 2, which functions as one object. There are still 2 things being compared. Although this situation commonly only lists one thing, technically speaking, you are still comparing 2 things - one state of being to another. Often, one of these states is implied instead of mentioned outright.  This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. I think my handwriting is worse [than it was before]. I am feeling worse [than I was before] In some sentences, the than is implied. That means there won't be 2 things being compared in the sentence; the second thing will be implied. Look for a combination of “than” along with a noun to spot an implied comparison. Bob and Fred are bad drivers, but I think Bob is worse [than Fred].

Masonry chisels come in many shapes, including bolster, pitcher, and sculpting chisels. Pick one that is the right width and shape for your job, and is made to chisel the material you are shaping.  A bolster chisel is beveled on one-side of the blade and is used to break off large pieces or sections. A pitcher chisel is beveled on both sides of the blade and is used to cut straight lines. Sculpting or engraving stone requires a wide variety of specialized tools and chisels. Making a line where you want to break the stone or brick will help you keep on track as you chisel. You will make scoring marks along this line before trying to break the brick or stone in half. However, chiseling into stone and brick is not always exact, so be prepared to work with pieces that don’t break right on the line. You want to hold the chisel so that it is at 90 degrees and will go straight into the brick or stone. If you hold it at an angle, the cut will go off at an angle as well. It can take some practice to be able to hold the chisel perfectly upright while hammering it. Try making some practice cuts before chiseling into pieces that need to be cut correctly. Gently tap the end of the chisel with a hammer, mallet, or sledgehammer along the line you want to cut away. After you score one part of the line, move the chisel down the line and continue scoring the entire length.  The score line doesn't need to be very deep. You are just aiming to make the line weaker than the surrounding material, so that the stone naturally wants to break there. The goal here is to make a line that the stone or brick will break cleanly along. If you don’t make a score line, a piece of brick or stone wider than your chisel can break jaggedly. Strike the handle of the chisel sharply with your hammer, mallet, or sledgehammer. Use as much force as you can, so that the chisel is driven down into the stone or brick.  Repeat your strikes all along the score line on either side of the first strike until the break occurs.

TL;DR in English: Pick the right masonry chisel to score, trim, or shape brick or stone. Mark the stone clearly with paver's chalk or a dark pencil. Set the masonry chisel perpendicular to the surface you are chiseling. Make a score line along the brick or stone. Make a hard strike in the middle of your score line.

There are many different substances that can treat dandruff. For mild dandruff without much inflammation or itching, look for shampoos containing salicylic acid or urea, which break apart dead skin cells. Because there is a chance of drying out the scalp and causing even more dandruff, it is recommended to use it in combination with a moisturizing conditioner to neutralize the side effect. If your flakes are thick, white, and found on the scalp (either alone or in addition to the hair), your problem is likely caused by a species of yeast-like fungus called malassezia. Malassezia is a skin surface yeast that has been targeted as a contributing cause of dandruff in people.  This yeast may also have a role in affecting immune systems. For these more severe cases, find a shampoo that lists ketaconozole (at least 1% strength) or ciclopirox in its ingredients. Selenium sulfide (at least 1%) is also effective, but users often dislike the oils it causes to build up on their scalp.   A doctor can prescribe you stronger shampoos than are available over the counter, including 2% ketaconozole anti-fungal shampoo. This is most often prescribed as a foam/shampoo to be used twice a week for initial dandruff relief. After that, it is recommended to be used once a week or every other week. You can also be prescribed a shampoo with 1% ciclopirox , which can be applied twice every week.  If you have black, coarse hair, which may dry out excessively from daily shampoo application, consider a topical steroid ointment instead  such as fluocinolone acetonide. This can be applied as a pomade to dry hair. To apply the shampoo, wet your hair, then massage the dandruff shampoo into your scalp. Let it sit in your hair for five to 10 minutes before rinsing it out. Use your anti-dandruff shampoo once a day, until the flaking, itching, and inflammation is less severe.   If you notice no improvement after a few days of using anti-dandruff shampoo, try a shampoo with a different ingredient. Since dandruff is often caused by a species of...

As soon as a destructive or demotivating thought sneaks into your head, tell yourself to stop. Correct the negative thought with a positive action and press on.  Destructive thoughts are those that attack your worthiness as a human being. They include thoughts like, "I'm so lazy," "I have no talent," and "I'm ugly." Verbalize the command to stop when these types of thoughts enter your mind. You can mentally shout "STOP," or you could choose another word or phrase: "calm down," "don't go there," and so on. As soon as you stop your inner critic, redirect your energy to some constructive activity to prevent your thoughts from sinking back down. When you aren't able to motivate yourself, you won't be able to take the necessary first steps forward. This lack of forward motion can make you feel even more undeserving and less motivated. Break the cycle by learning what makes you tick and how to take advantage of it.  Try reminding yourself of the benefits in completing certain tasks. If necessary, write these benefits down and post the note in a spot you will see daily. Consider refocusing your energy on goals you really want or activities you really enjoy doing. These types of tasks can be naturally easier to pursue, even if you initially feel undeserving of the privilege to pursue them. Take a few minutes each day to write a list of two to four positive qualities you can be proud of. These characteristics do not need to be anything huge. In fact, a larger list of minor positives can have a greater impact than a short list of major positives. For example, one positive can be the you were able to listen to a friend's problem for a few minutes earlier in the day. Another could be that you had the willpower to make a healthier food choice at lunch than you were tempted to do.

Behaving in a way you know to be wrong will cause your conscience to haunt you, and the resulting...

There are two components to ADHD. For children under the age of 17, at least six of these must be present for an ADHD diagnosis. The first set of symptoms deal with an inability to pay attention or focus. A child with an attention disorder will exhibit the following symptoms:  makes careless mistakes, is inattentive to detail has trouble paying attention (tasks, playing) doesn’t seem to be paying attention when someone is talking to him or her doesn’t follow through (homework, chores, jobs); easily sidetracked is organizationally challenged avoids tasks requiring sustained focus (like schoolwork) can’t keep track of or often loses keys, glasses, papers, tools, etc. is easily distracted is forgetful The other category of symptoms related to ADHD suggests hyperactivity or a lack of impulse control. People with ADHD must display six or more of the following:  fidgety, squirmy; taps hands or feet runs/climbs inappropriately or feels restless struggles to play quietly/do quiet activities “on the go” as if “driven by a motor” excessive talking blurts out answers before questions are asked struggles to wait for his or her turn interrupts others, inserts self into others’ discussions/games The brains of persons with ADHD are slightly different than others. Specifically, two structures tend to be smaller: the basal ganglia and the prefrontal cortex.  The basal ganglia regulates the movement of muscles. It signals which should be working and which should be at rest during given activities.  If a child is sitting at his desk in the classroom, the basal ganglia should send a message telling the feet to rest. In the case of ADHD, the feet may not get the message. They often remain in motion when a child with ADHD is seated. A deficiency of the basal ganglia often can also cause fidgety hand movements or pencil tapping. The prefrontal cortex is the brain’s hub for conducting higher-order tasks. It is where memory and learning and attention regulation come together to help us function intellectually.  The prefrontal cortex...

Open the agreement by providing the individual names of the two people signing the agreement, as well as business names if applicable. Include contact information such as addresses and phone numbers for both the general contractor and the subcontractor.  Include the legal status of all parties. For example, if the general contractor is an LLC, but the subcontractor is a sole proprietor, these business entities should be identified in the contract. How each party is organized to do business potentially alters their liability under the contract. The initial part of the contract also should mention the project the subcontractor is being hired to work on and reference the master or prime contract. In this section you also may want to define the relationship of the parties and clarify that the subcontractor is an independent contractor and not an employee of the general contractor. If the subcontractor will be bringing in other workers to help complete her portion of the work under the contract, include a statement that they are her employees, not employees of the general contractor. Provide a description of exactly what the subcontractor is expected to do for the general contractor.  You want these descriptions to be as specific as possible, because these clauses put the subcontractor on notice as to the contractor's expectations. Try to cover as many contingencies as you can think of. If the property owner doesn't like the subcontractor's work, the contract should make it clear under what circumstances the subcontractor is expected to come back and fix it to the owner's expectations. For example, if the subcontractor completes the kitchen cabinets and countertops to the property owner's specifications, but the property owner later decides he wants marble countertops, the contract should state whether it is the subcontractor's responsibility to come back and remove the countertops he installed, or to install the new marble ones, and whether he gets any additional payment for this work.

Addiction is a chronic problem that leads to poor decision making and problems at home, work, and social life. Many addicts think they can control their behavior yet struggle to do so. They may actively seek escape from stress or worries of life and may not know how else to cope outside of alcohol.   Alcoholics are not bad people, they are people who struggle to cope with daily life. Before you decide to help someone, consider whether they show signs of being an alcoholic. These may include trying to cut back and not being able to, spending a lot of time drinking or recovering from hangovers, engaging in risky behaviors due to drinking, having issues with family and friends because of their drinking, or having to drink more than they used to.  The effect of alcohol is biphasic, which means that when BAC (blood alcohol concentration) levels are rising, the stimulant properties of alcohol are more pronounced; when BAC levels are falling, the depressant effects of alcohol are more pronounced. When you are approaching a person who has been drinking they likely will have two different reactions: they may feel positive and stimulated when BAC is rising and may feel alone, depressed, or even suicidal when BAC is dropping. Affirm any positive choices they make. Point out positive behaviors and steps forward the person makes, even if it doesn't involve treatment. Stay positive in your interactions with the person. Let the person know that they can count on you for support and positive feedback. Recovery is often an ongoing process. Even if the person agrees to get help, they may change their mind or experience slip-ups. Support the person in their ups and downs, and support them attending meetings, treatment, and support groups. If someone has made it clear to you that they do not want help, don't force the issue. Don't constantly bring up conversations about alcohol. Don't pressure the person, either. While you may interpret the situation as dire, the person may still be in denial about their problems, and your...

Analgesic medicines are a popular form of pain relief during pregnancy. Such medicines are usually injected into a vein or muscle to help ease pain during labor.  These medicines are usually used very early during labor and are designed to help you rest to save energy for later in labor. However, you can ask your doctor about use of analgesic medicines if you're experiencing back labor and see if she has any suggestions.  There is usually a low risk of complications when using analgesic medicines. Many women use regional anesthesia to treat labor pains, especially those that come in the later stages of childbirth. Ask your doctor about what options are safe for you.   There are typically three types of regional anesthesia used during labor: epidural, spinal, and a combined spinal-epidural.  In an epidural, a thin plastic tube is placed in the back and medicine is released when needed. The tube is left in place throughout labor and can be used to inject a stronger dose of medication if a caesarian section is necessary.  Spinals are usually only used in the event of a caesarian section. A single injection to the spine is used to administer medication.  In a combination of the two, the spinal injection is used, but a tube remains in place in case more medication is needed.  It usually takes 10 to 20 minutes before regional anesthesia works. A lot of research has been conducted on the effects of regional anesthesia on the baby, and it is very safe for you and your baby.

Add a second nut to the hook and bring the pendulum back to where you marked on the paper the first time. When you release the pendulum, start a stopwatch and count the number of oscillations for 1 minute. Repeat the process 5 times, then calculate your average.  Notice the difference in the number of oscillations and the average between 1 nut on the hook and 2 nuts on the hook. Add another nut and repeat the experiment to see if even more mass will affect the pendulum’s oscillations. Go back to just 1 nut on the hook, bring the string back about 10 inches (25 cm), and make a mark on the paper taped behind it so you can repeat the experiment from the same distance. Release the pendulum and count the number of oscillations for 1 minute. Repeat the process 5 times and calculate an average.  You may be surprised to learn that the distance (also called amplitude) does not affect the swing rate, or number of oscillations. Try the experiment again from 5 inches (13 cm) and find the average number of oscillations to see how much of a difference the distance makes. Slide the look off of the pencil and cut off 10 inches (25 cm) of string, tie another loop, and put it back on the pencil. Then bring the pendulum back about 10 inches (25 cm) and mark on the paper where you release it from. Repeat the experiment 5 times and find the average number of oscillations to see how the length of the string affects the pendulum.  Cut off another 10 inches (25 cm) of string to see the difference it makes on the average number of oscillations. The length from which a pendulum is suspended helps determine the speed and regularity of the swings, which is why pendulums have been used to keep time.

TL;DR in English: Add a nut to the hook to see what difference the mass makes. Change the distance to see how it affects the oscillations. Cut off 10 inches (25 cm) of the string to see the effects.

Going on dates one-on-one can be a fun way to spend time with your partner and can improve your feeling of connectedness.  Going on double dates has been shown to improve your bond even more than dating as a single couple.  Try going on a double date to make your relationship feel even more special. Not only will a double date help you and your loved one feel great about each other but it can also lead to you both making new friends.  It has been shown that the more personal the connection between the couples, the more the couples benefit from the date.  Couples who have more friends in common are also generally more happy within their own relationship. Beyond improving your relationship, double dating can lead to larger health benefits.  Since double-dating can be so effective at making your relationship feel secure and loving, it can reduce stress and improve health.

Obtain necessary insurance. Comply with appropriate tax laws. Purchase necessary equipment. Hire employees.

Stress releases the hormone cortisol, which encourages your body to store fat. Try meditation, yoga or changing your schedule to reduce your stress. The place that you store fat, may depend upon genetics; however, studies have shown a correlation between stomach fat and stress. People who don't get at least 7 hours of sleep per night are more likely to store fat in their stomach, hips and thighs. Give yourself 1 hour to decompress before you want to start sleeping. Love handles may have appeared slowly, over the course of a decade or more. This slow weight gain can be caused by a sedentary lifestyle, so try the following things to get moving:  Buy a pedometer. Make sure you are walking 10,000 steps during the course of your daily routine.  Stand up while you talk on the phone, watch television or on the bus. You may think that sitting is unavoidable, but standing for just a few minutes can help with lower body weight loss. Add in a 30 minute walk every day, in addition to exercise. This walk can be done on your lunch break, in the morning or after dinner. Any added exercise will start to give you skinnier hips.

TL;DR in English: Focus on lowering your stress levels. Get more sleep. Be more active.

Once you have a business plan in place and are ready to actually start setting up your business, your first step should be to contact your local government to determine what legal requirements with which you must comply in order to properly run a child-care business in your county. You should ask this office:  What sort of business license you need to operate your business, and how to obtain this license. What sort of building codes you must meet. What sort of occupancy laws are in effect in your county (i.e., how many children will you be able to take care of legally?). You can also contact your local child-care agency (an arm of state government) by typing in your zip code on this website and clicking "search for your local agency." If you plan to operate your child-care business out of your home, then this step is already complete. If you plan to open a separate facility, however, you will need to choose one that is in a good location that you can afford based on your budget. You will also need to consider, depending on your available funding, whether you will buy or rent this space. If you are looking for a location outside of your home, consider the following factors when making your selection:  Is the location convenient for parents? Does public transportation serve your proposed location? Is the area safe? Is the space adequate for the business you intend to run there? Does it have adequate kitchen/bathroom facilities/fixtures? You will have to make sure that your proposed location complies with local zoning laws. To do this, contact your county's zoning office and inquire as to whether your proposed location is properly zoned for child care. This should consist of tasks like installing cabinet locks, setting up changing tables if you are servicing infants and/or toddlers, putting up smoke detectors, and inserting electrical outlet covers. You may also need to post an emergency evacuation plan. If you do not pass the first time, you will likely be given an opportunity to correct the errors and arrange...

Select a well-draining pot that is 25% bigger than the lemon-tree bulb. Use well-draining, composted soil to cover the bulb of the tree. Fertilize the soil surface only so you don’t disturb the roots of the tree. Water your lemon tree every 10 to 14 days. Keep your tree in a location where it won’t be sitting in water.

A default/penalty rate is higher than the rate you got when you signed up for your card. It's triggered when you violate the penalty terms in your contract. Examples of violations might include exceeding your balance limit or consistently making late payments. You may be able to find a standard default/penalty APR somewhere in your statement or contract. It's more likely, though, that the bank will send you a letter telling you that it's changing your rate. The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, or CARD Act, requires banks to give 45 days' notice before adjusting your interest rate. Your bank will explain your new rate in the letter. For example, you may have had an original APR of 20 percent. However, you missed two straight payments — 60 days. You received a letter saying the credit card company was raising your rate to a default/penalty rate of 35 percent. Divide your new rate by the number of days in the year, 365. In our example, you would complete the following equation: 35 ÷ 365 = 0.0958. This is the interest you’re paying on a daily basis. Because the number of days in a month can vary, make sure you’re using the right number for the month in question. Since January has 31 days, you would multiply 0.0958 x 31 to get 2.97. Your interest in January would be 2.97 percent of your balance. Remember to convert the percentage to a decimal. In our example, 2.97 percent becomes 0.0297. If you have a balance of $1,000 at the end of January, you pay $1,000 x 0.0297, or $29.70 in interest.

TL;DR in English: Know what a default/penalty APR is. Figure out what your default/penalty APR is. Calculate the DPR on your new rate. Figure out your interest rate for a given month. Multiply that monthly rate by your outstanding balance.

The bulb consists of the roots and the clumped dirt that is attached to them. If you buy your tree from a nursery, it may already be in an appropriately-sized container—just ask the sales associate to make sure. If you do need to re-pot it, look for a 5 US gal (19 L) pot for a 2 to 3 year-old tree or a 10 US gal (38 L) pot for trees older than that. A pot bigger than 15 US gal (57 L) will be really hard to move around. Pick sandy or loamy soil for an option that drains well. Avoid using soil made with clay or that has heavy alkaline levels. Cover the bulbed part of the tree (the roots and the dirt attached to the roots), but stop when you get to the base of the roots.  Lemon trees are pretty hardy and can grow in many different types of soil, though the loamy soil is the preferred type. If you want to test the pH level, aim for a reading between 5.5 and 6.5 for optimal growth. If the soil is too acidic, you could add a base like compost or manure to the soil. If the soil isn’t acidic enough, add a compound made of powdered limestone. Fertilize the tree every 1 to 2 months during the spring and summer and every 2 to 3 months during the fall and winter. Use a citrus-specific fertilizer, and only apply it to the top of the soil; don’t mix it in with the rest of the soil. Spring and summer are the active-growing months; fall and winter are the dormant months. Water the tree while slowly counting to 20. Stop once you notice water starting to come out of the bottom of the pot; if after 20 seconds you still don’t see water coming out of the pot, continue counting and watering for an additional 10 seconds. If your climate is particularly dry, keep an eye on the soil and the leaves of the tree. If the soil is dry to the touch or if the leaves are drooping, water the tree. During the hottest months, you may need to water it once or twice a week. While lemon trees need a lot of water, they also shouldn’t be left to sit in water. If the pot is outside, place it somewhere that rainwater will flow away from it rather than...

TL;DR in English:


Chant in a loud voice. Decrease the volume. Vary the speed. Keep count. Chant in rhythm with your breathing. Interject the occasional prayer.

Preach the need. Explain the process. Say a prayer. Set the tone.

Begin the chant by reciting the words aloud in a clear, strong voice. By both speaking and hearing the words, you awaken your conscious mind to the meaning of those words.  To further guide your conscious mind, you can also play a recording of the chant for a few minutes and chant along with it. Doing so is only optional, though. Chant at a normal volume or a slightly louder than normal volume when you start. The louder your own voice resonates within you, the easier it will be to drown out all unrelated thoughts and feelings. Gradually decrease the volume of your voice. Soften it to a whisper before closing your mouth altogether and reciting the words only in your mind.  Once your conscious thoughts are focused on the chant, reduce your volume to a whisper. This action brings your chant to a subconscious level. As you whisper, you should eventually feel the words and rhythm of the chant vibrate throughout your mind. At that point, remain outwardly silent and continue chanting inside your mind. Imagine fixating your chant at a place in between your eyebrows. At this point, you have drawn the chant into your super conscious, elevating it to a spiritual discipline. As your volume decreases, the speed at which you recite the lines should gradually increase. After reciting the chant at a rapid speed for a short period of time, gradually decrease the speed back to normal again. Varying the speed of your chants can refresh and refocus your mind when it begins to stray. By changing the pace of your words, you must pay closer attention to the words themselves. When you are reciting a repetitive prayer or mantra, keeping count of the number of recitations can also keep you focused. One of the easiest, most common ways to keep count is to use some form of prayer or chant beads.   Mala, or Japa-Mala, are strings of beads used to count Sanskrit mantras. These beads allow you to count your prayers in sets of 108 repetitions. A Rosary is a similar set of prayer beads used by Roman Catholics. Each element of the Rosary has...

Before you can call unbelievers to the altar, you need to make sure they understand what the call is actually about. This means that you'll need to deliver a powerful sermon that doesn't shy away from the truth about sin, repentance, and the urgency of accepting Christ as Savior.  Preach the gospel. Make sure that your message is derived from the Bible's teachings on repenting and believing.  Don't shy away from the harsh reality of sin. You won't be able to stress the importance of salvation without explaining the consequence of living and dying without it. Your message should clearly explain that accepting Jesus is equivalent to being rescued, not a trick you can use to make your life better. Stress the importance of repentance alongside forgiveness. Explain "church lingo" each time you use it. Terms that you might use regularly, like "born again," "saved," and "repent," can be completely unfamiliar to nonbelievers. Announce the altar call after you finish the sermon. As you make the announcement, explain how the process will work physically and how it should work spiritually. Spelling out the steps can make potential converts feel more at ease. The fear of the unknown can cause plenty of people to hesitate, but describing each stage of the altar call in advance can remove some of that fear. Lead the congregation in prayer at the start of the altar call. Ask God to move the hearts of those who still need to accept Him and to continue working in the hearts and lives of those who already have. Even though the focus is on those who need to repent and accept Christ, you need to address current believers in your prayer, too. Everyone should be able to benefit from this opportunity for spiritual renewal. Play soft music in the background. Dim the lights, but make sure that there is still enough light to maintain visibility.  The idea is to make the environment peaceful since peace encourages reflection. During the actual invitation to the altar, instrumental music is usually preferred over music with lyrics....

If you live with someone who has an overactive sex drive, then he or she may want to have sex at odd times of the day or even multiple times of the day. It is important for you to express your feelings about this behavior and set clear boundaries about when you are willing to have sex. Keep in mind that your partner may feel rejected or think that you don’t like to have sex with him or her at all. Make sure that you emphasize your attraction to your partner to minimize conflict.  For example, if your partner often wants to have sex in the morning when you are trying to get ready for work, explain why this is inconvenient for you. You might say something like, “I love all of the affection that you give me in the morning, but I have been late a few times because of it. I think that we need to keep these encounters to the evening when I have more time to spend with you." Or, if your partner wants to have sex multiple times every day, then you might say, “I am glad that you are attracted to me. I am attracted to you too. However, my sex drive is not as high as yours, so I can’t keep having sex two or three times every day.” People with high sex drives may benefit from incorporating vigorous exercise and other activities into their daily lives. If your partner does not exercise much or if he or she does not have any hobbies, then encourage your partner to do these things. For example, your partner might take up running, cycling, dancing, or swimming to provide an outlet for sexual desire and frustration. Your partner might also take up an enjoyable hobby, such as knitting, cooking, or playing an instrument. Some people might feel like it is not appropriate to masturbate when you are in a relationship, so you may need to discuss your feelings about this with your partner. If your partner is interested in having sex every day or multiple times per day, then he or she may need to masturbate once per day or every other day to control his or her sex drive. Talk to your partner about masturbating on a regular basis. For...

Purchase some sodium thiosulfate at your local department store. Mix 1 tbsp (14.3 g) of sodium thiosulfate with 1 cup (240 mL) of warm water. Take a clean white cloth and dip it in the diluted sodium thiosulfate. Blot the stain with the damp cloth until the fabric absorbs the liquid. Wash and dry the fabric as you normally would.

How you approach the situation depends on how much evidence you have supporting any wrongdoing. You will have to handle situations that are based on strong suspicions differently than you would those with clear evidence.  For suspicions, it's best to present what you suspect in a non-confrontational manner and try to tease out the truth during the interaction. For evidence-based accusations, you should state your claim and present the evidence that you have. In these cases, there's little room for the person wiggling out of the responsibility. Lay out the facts you know by telling the story from your perspective. The person may interject and correct you on part of the story if there’s a detail that is wrong. This may give you a partial confession. You can also deliberately change part of the story to entice them to correct you. For instance, you could say, “So you went to the bar last night,” even though you believe they went somewhere else incriminating. This may prompt them to correct you, which could lead you to the truth. Ask the same question over again in different ways. Be mindful of them saying the same phrases when answering, as this could indicate they’ve rehearsed what they’re going to say. They may also be inconsistent with their answers, which could show they are lying. You could also ask them to tell their story starting from the end and leading up to the beginning or ask them to start in the middle. Relaying the story back may cause them to create errors in their story, which could show they aren’t telling the truth. The language you use can play a huge role in whether a person tells you the truth or not. Using language that implies fault may cause the person to withhold. Selecting less harsh words can encourage the person to tell the truth. For instance, use the word “took” instead of “stole” or “spent time with someone” rather than “cheated.” The person may be more apt to admit guilt if you use more favorable language. Bluffing is a dangerous, yet often effective, tactic. It involves you...

TL;DR in English: Distinguish between a suspicion and evidence-based accusation. Tell a version of their story. Change things up. Choose your words carefully. Bluff, if necessary. Avoid physical coercion.

Sodium thiosulfate, also known as photograph fixer, can be used to neutralize the effects of bleach stains on fabric. It can be purchased at local department and pet stores, or it can be purchased through big-box stores and online retailers.  Find products that are advertised as chlorine neutralizers. Those will contain the sodium thiosulfate needed to treat the bleach stain on the fabric.  This works well as an immediate treatment. If the stain has been sitting for a while, the diluted solution might not remove the stain entirely, but instead make it considerably less noticeable. Mix the solution in a bowl or a plastic basin you solely use for cleaning purposes. Make sure to stir this diluted solution with a disposable spoon until all of the sodium thiosulfate is dissolved. You don’t have to use a white cloth to do this, any old cloth with work fine. Just know that a cloth that is not white will retain stains from the bleach you are lifting from the fabric. Use cotton balls if you do not have a clean cloth. Make sure to blot the fabric and not rub it. If you rub the fabric with the diluted solution you could potentially damage the fabric. Rinse the fabric in cold water if the stain is still visible. Then treat it again with the diluted sodium thiosulfate. Continue to treat the fabric until the stain is reduce to your liking. Even if you have rinsed the fabric in cold water, you need to make sure that all of the diluted sodium thiosulfate is gone. Separately wash the fabric so the item is clean and ready for you to wear.

Pour this new mixture into a large squirt bottle. Test the mix by spraying it onto a small portion of your plant. Spray the mixture anywhere you have problems.

If you have a toddler who doesn’t know how to count, start off simple. Give them a coin and say, “This is 1 coin.” Then, give them another coin and say, “This is 2 coins.” Continue doing this until you reach 5 to 6 coins and see if over time the toddler can count them with you.  It may be helpful to repeat the words “one” and “two” to the toddler until they can repeat them back to you. Be patient with your toddler. It may take several sessions until the child starts repeating the words. Teach the child the names of coins, their size, and what color they are. Give the child a handful of coins and ask them to organize them into different piles. Recite the names of the coins and see if they can point to the correct coin or repeat the name after you. For instance, you can say, “This silver coin is a quarter, and it’s the largest of all the coins. Can you point to another quarter?” A piggy bank will teach the child how to start saving their money. Giving them a clear jar over a porcelain piggy bank, however, will let them visually see the money pile up. As they start saving more coins, be enthusiastic and encouraging about their saving habits.  You can say something like, “Wow! You’ve saved so many coins since I’ve last looked. Great job!” You can give a child a piggy bank starting at the age of 2 to 3. Help your child use a coin machine at the grocery store to show your child how the coins they have saved can be exchanged for dollars. It’s okay to allow your young child to make purchases, but help them set a goal for saving money as well. There are several informative and fun children's books that can help educate your child about money. Search online for titles that you think that your child would enjoy and purchase them online or at a bookstore. Then, read the books to them and explain any lessons that they don’t understand. Examples include Money Madness, Once Upon a Dime, and  One Cent, Two Cents, Old Cent, New Cents.

TL;DR in English: Use coins to teach 1- to 2-year-olds how to count. Teach 3- to 4-year-old children about coins based on color and size. Give the child a clear piggy bank and encourage saving. Read books to your child that teaches them about money.

Avoid anti-bacterial, scented, and other specialized soaps, since these may damage your plants. Dawn and castile soap are both great choices. Measure out both ingredients and pour them into a large bowl. Use either canola or vegetable cooking oil for best results. Stir the ingredients well to mix them thoroughly. Use a funnel to easily transfer the mixture into the spray bottle. Give the mixture another vigorous shake once you get it inside the bottle. If the section of the plant you test the spray on wilts or changes color, try using a different soap for this pesticide or another type of pesticide. If you tested your solution and it did not cause any harm to your plant, spray it around your entire plant, including the undersides of leaves. Focus on areas where pests lay their eggs, since an oil spray is designed to target eggs and immature bugs. Use the spray during the early morning or late afternoon, since direct sunlight could burn your plants after using oil.

Carry someone out of a car. Drag someone by the legs. Drag someone by the shoulders. Carry the victim only when absolutely necessary.

If someone has done something to cause you pain or suffering, the worst thing you can do is return the favor just for the sake of proving a point. Doing so will only compromise your own honor, integrity, and respectability. Stay true to your values and be the bigger person.  Choosing not to act on your vengeful urges can also be very empowering. It screams loud and clear that the only person who has control over your actions and reactions is you.  There’s a lot of truth to be found in the old Spanish proverb, “No revenge is more honorable than the one not taken.” Talk to a trusted loved one about your enemy’s actions and the impact they’ve had on you. More often than not, the fires of revenge are fueled by hurt, not anger. By working through your emotions and coming to terms with the way you were wronged, you’ll be on the fast track to making peace with it and moving on with your life. Getting reassurance from someone who cares about you is far more satisfying and impactful than making your enemies grovel at your feet. In fact, scientific research shows that acts of revenge rarely make the person committing them feel any better at all. Contemplating revenge can give you a sinister thrill, but, taken too far, it can also cast a shadow over your life. Resist the urge to continually reopen old wounds by maintaining an upbeat attitude and taking stock of the things you’re thankful for. In this way, you can break the cycle of rage and one-upmanship that threatens to keep you stuck in an unhealthy state of mind.  Try to look at your enemy’s actions as a blessing in disguise. It could be, for instance, that they’re a former friend who’s stabbed you in the back, and their betrayal has made you more careful about who you let into your inner circle. Don’t feel too bad about being a target for your enemy’s scorn. The fact that they would go to such great lengths to interfere with your happiness means that they think you’re important. Malicious words and actions can sting, but they can also have an energizing effect....

TL;DR in English: Refuse to stoop to your enemy’s level. Vent your feelings to your friends and family. Focus on the good that comes from the situation rather than the bad. Use your enemy’s hostility towards you as motivation.

A possibly injured victim should be left in place whenever possible, since moving may cause injury. If the car is burning or there is another reason the victim must move immediately, follow these instructions:  Move the victim's legs clear of the pedals. Rotate the victim so her back faces the open car door. Lock your arms under her armpits and in front of her chest. Drag the victim to a safe location, supporting her head with your body. If her legs or feet catch on the car, slowly lower her to the ground, lift her legs out by hand, then drag using the next step. If the ground is smooth and there are no obvious leg injuries, use this technique to move the victim out of the danger area. Crouch low and grab the patient's ankles. Lean back and pull the victim to safety. Leaning back uses your own body weight as leverage, allowing you to drag someone much heavier than yourself.  To reduce the risk of self-injury, do not extend your arms more than 15–20 inches (38–51cm). Flex your arms slowly backwards, then reposition yourself before pulling again.  Some first aid agencies do not like this method because it drags the victim's head along the ground. For this reason, never use it on rough ground. Bend over next to the top of the person's head. Grasp the victim's clothing underneath the shoulders, supporting her head with your arm. Drag backward. Alternatively, pull the victim's arms above her head. Grip the elbows, pressing them against the victim's head to support it. Use this method if the victim's clothing is torn or weak. Carrying someone is a last resort in an emergency. It can make an injury worse, or expose the victim to smoke inhalation during a fire. Use it only when immediate movement is necessary, and dragging is not possible.  If the victim is unconscious, it can take considerable strength to lift her to a standing position. To do this, roll the person onto her stomach. Kneel at the top of her head, and place both arms under her armpits. Grasp her back and stand by pushing with your legs, keeping both...

Hydration's importance can't be stressed enough, as water keeps your strong, safe, and healthy. You should drink 4-8 ounces of water each hour at least two days before a race, along with electrolytes-rich foods like bananas and pretzels to help retain that water. One hour before running, gulp 16oz of water, and keep sipping before you leave. The best practice is to keep a water bottle with you all day, simply sipping throughout instead of trying to chug it down later. Constant hydration will do wonders for your stamina. You want food that'll move through your body quickly and provide you with some lasting energy. Try toast with jelly and peanut butter, oatmeal with a bit of fruit, pasta with olive oil and lean chicken, or some granola and yogurt.  You want a light mix of carbs, simple sugars, and a little bit of protein. Avoid excessive dairy, greasy or fatty foods, and empty sugars found in candies and sweets. Over the course of a run, most people's bodies heat up 10-15 degrees, so assume it's about 10 degrees warmer outside, even if it means you must warm up while a little chilly. Try to avoid cotton shirts -- synthetics made for exercises are far more effective at staying dry and comfortable. Wet cotton is not only hot and sticky, it can get noticeably heavy. For races or big events, warm up in warm clothing, removing it once you have a light sweat going. This literally helps your muscles get warm, which makes them more pliable. Don't jump out the front door at top speed -- give you muscles some time to prepare themselves for the stress of a long run. A slow, light jog will lightly stretch and warm up your muscles, allowing you to gradually pick up speed. Many runners like to jog for 5-10 minutes, then stop and stretch, allowing them to jump right into their normal running speed right as they start the clock. . Studies show that the classic "stretch and hold" warm-up, performed on its own, can actually decrease muscle efficiency. Dynamic stretches, however, mimic real running more naturally to eliminate...

TL;DR in English: Hydrate as much, and as regularly, as possible. Eat a simple, low-fiber meal about 1-2 hours before running. Dress in light, breathable clothing, knowing your body temperature will soon rise. Start the first 5-10 minutes at a light pace, roughly a third of your top speed. Use a dynamic warm-up, not static stretching, to prepare your muscles for grueling distances

It can take as long as 6 months to get your passport. If you don't already have one, apply now. You can buy a passport photo at most photo stores and apply for a passport at your local post office or courthouse. For certain countries, you'll need a tourist visa, too. Do your research online about whether citizens of your country need visas to go to your destination. It depends on where you're coming from, too. Getting sick overseas can be costly and very stressful. Lower your risk of spending your time sick in bed by getting your travel vaccinations. There are essentially zero health risks to being vaccinated and it's a very cheap way to protect yourself. You should get vaccinated at least 2-3 months before you leave for your trip. Last minute vaccines will not be very effective for preparing you for your stay. If you're not sure whether you need vaccinations are not, the CDC's website has recommendations based on the type of traveler you are and where you plan to travel. If you're going somewhere chilly and your body isn't used to a colder climate, be sure to bring plenty of layers. You'll want socks, gloves, a thick coat, a sweater, the whole nine yards. You researched the weather, right? What's it like? You may want to bring a few "just in case" pieces. If there's a legitimate chance it could rain, bring an umbrella or a raincoat. A couple pairs of shoes, tennis shoes included, is good, too. You never know when you may wind up going on a spontaneous romantic hike. In general, it's good to not load up on cheap souvenirs. As cute as many of the "Just Married" trinkets can be wherever you go, keep in mind that you will put out very few or none of these things in the future. That money is better put to having a nice dinner or doing an activity you won't have the opportunity to try for some time. That being said, you'll probably want a couple of things to remember your trip by, so leave a bit of room in your pack just in case. Postcards are a good, small trinket to take back (useful, too). You may also want...

Add more weight on a day that you feel good. Do a warm-up before you start lifting. Add a little weight at a time. Lift heavy weights for compound exercises. Exercise with about 10% less than the maximum you can lift. Increase your rest time between sets when you lift more weight. Make a schedule and balance your workout.

Building a positive relationship with your mother-in-law is significant to the well-being of everyone in your household. Plus, maintaining a friendly, respectful nature with her is good role-modeling for your children. One way to boost the connection between the two of you is to join in on one of her hobbies or invite her to participate in yours. Even if you find your mother-in-law particularly difficult, she is still your spouse’s mother and, therefore, deserves your consideration and respect. Instead of shutting her out of the big decisions, consult with her. Doing so may make her feel like a valued member of the family. Likely, asking her opinion may present you in a more favorable light as well.  Keep in mind, asking her opinion does not translate to taking her advice. Grandparents truly want to be helpful. So, even if you choose to go a different route, it still counts that you asked and listened to her opinion on the matter.  Here’s one way to ask her opinion: “So, we were thinking about visiting Cole in college soon. We would like all of us to go together as a surprise. Do you think it would be best to go the first or last weekend in the month?” Multi-generational families are becoming more and more common these days. Even if you are not so happy about having to live under the same roof as your mother-in-law, do your part to make her feel like a part of the larger family. This means that merely sharing meals or holding casual conversations is not enough. Include her in different outings to help her feel like a true part of things. Although you might have a tense relationship, she is still family. Plus, your children probably love to spend time with her. Invite her out for a special dinner to celebrate the kids’ good grades. Ask if she wants to join in on this year’s summer vacation. These small acts of kindness may go a long way towards improving your relationship. With aging parents, the last thing you want to do is make them feel useless or like a burden. If your MIL has moved in with you, she may...

TL;DR in English: Share a hobby. Ask for her opinion sometimes. Include her in family activities. Give her a role, if she wants it.

If you’re feeling tired or sore, adding more weight could leave you especially vulnerable to injury. Instead, wait for a day when you feel strong and energetic. A proper warm-up will increase the oxygen in your bloodstream and your muscles, helping reduce the risk of injury and helping prevent or relieve muscle soreness. Before you lift, try 5-10 minutes of light cardio activity, like push-ups, sit-ups, jogging on a treadmill, or riding a stationary bike. Adding too much weight too fast can cause you to injure yourself. You should increase the weight by no more than 10 percent at a time to your routine to ensure your body stays challenged. Compound lifts, like squats, deadlifts, and lunges, are great for working multiple muscle groups at once. Use heavier weights for these exercises. Don’t strain your body by lifting the absolute most you can every time. This will increase your risk of injury and can lead your body to plateau. Dial it back to about 90% of the most you can lift, then increase a little every 2-4 weeks. Give your body time to recover between sets when you increase your weights. If you normally rest 30-45 seconds between sets, try resting for 60-90 seconds instead. You may need to rest longer if you are performing compound exercises and lifting 90 percent of your maximum weight. Make sure you are alternating your exercises to ensure you equally balance all of your muscle groups. Think about training your pushing and pulling muscles (like your hamstrings vs your quads) equally, as well as balancing your arms, legs, chest, and back. Set up a schedule so you know what muscle group you’ll focus on each day.

Practice delivering your presentation. Exude confidence and enthusiasm with your body language. Familiarize yourself thoroughly with all technology used in the presentation. Anticipate objections and rehearse answers. Practice assessing whether your audience is following along.

TL;DR in English: Practice delivering your presentation. Exude confidence and enthusiasm

Find your ride. Be cautious if you plan to drive yourself. Drive safely.

Commit it to memory so you need only glance at your notes.  Practice your mannerisms, enunciation, and the pitch and volume of your voice.   Record yourself or go through the presentation with a friend or colleague in order to identify areas that need improvement. Avoid slang and jargon and never, ever curse. Smile and shake hands when entering a room.  Make eye contact and address people by name.  Stand up straight with your shoulders back.  Wear the appropriate clothes and be sure your shoes are polished. Keep your hands out of your pockets and don't fidget during quiet moments. If you are giving a presentation to a very large audience, don't just stand on the stage as people file in. Mill about, introducing yourself and greeting people you know. Practice working with a smart board or with a laptop and projector so you can troubleshoot any problems ahead of time. If necessary, bring your own equipment with you.  If possible, set up all technology in advance on the day of the presentation. Go through your presentation and write down any potential questions or objections on a separate piece of paper.  Ask a friend or colleague to role play as the customer and ask questions or raise objections that you did not anticipate.  Draft answers to all possible objections and be prepared to deliver them. Pause for questions where appropriate.  Watch body language that indicates your audience doesn't understand something. Maintain your energy and enthusiasm throughout the presentation. Try to control the meeting by announcing when questions will be taken. This can help you to avoid interruptions at a critical time. Recognize, however, if you are speaking to a decision maker, you might not have a choice.

Walking or catching a bus late at night, especially on your own, is dangerous. Avoid this if at all possible. Taxis and Uber’s are an acceptable choice, but those can be expensive and as a teen, you should never catch a ride late at night on your own. Always try to go there with other people if possible.  Your best choice is getting a lift from a friend who drives. Organize in advance a place for them to pick you up; usually around the corner from your house or a short distance down the street from where you live is ideal. Have them park at a nearby parking lot if you are worried that your parents will wake up easily. If someone is picking you up, tell them beforehand not to have any loud music playing in their car when they are arrive, just to be safe. Avoid turning on your headlights in your driveway because they likely will shine into your house. Switch your headlights on once you get on the street. The last thing you want is to be pulled over by a police officer for a traffic violation when you are in the middle of sneaking out! Follow all speed limits and be extremely cautious in everything you do while on the way to the party.  Avoid very loud music that might draw attention when you’re in the middle of a red light. Of course, always wear your seatbelt.

Have a garage sale. Participate in a flea market. Rent your things. Dress designing or stitching. Paint or craft. Sell entertainment. Take your items to a pawn shop. Sell used books.

This is a common and known method to keep any foods from over-cooking or baking when making them. If you know you'll be away or get distracted, set a timer for the amount prescribed by the recipe. Make sure the timer is loud enough to hear if you're far away from the kitchen. It's possible you could accidentally set the temperature too high without meaning too. Double-check the oven temperature before placing the cake in the oven to bake to ensure it doesn't burn. When the cake starts to brown while it bakes, but the inside of the cake is still raw, cover the edges and top with foil. The aluminum foil will protect the cake from burning and blackening. If you've set the correct temperature and time for the cake to bake and it stills ends up burnt, double-check your oven to make sure there is nothing wrong and that the settings are correct. It's possible your oven's settings could have been switched which causes it to not produce the correct heat level. While the cake bakes, check it every 10-15 minutes to ensure it isn't burning and that it is baking correctly. It's best not keep opening the oven door, however, since the heat leaves every time you open it. Instead, use the oven light that's placed in your oven so you can watch the cake, but also avoid it from under-baking.

TL;DR in English: Set a timer. Check the oven temperature before baking. Use aluminum foil to avoid the cake from burning. Make sure your oven settings are working properly. Check the cake every now and then.

A garage sale is a great way to get rid of unwanted household items and make money in the process! Staples of garage sales include old clothing, books, toys, household knickknacks, lawn and garden tools, sports equipment, and board games. Larger items like furniture and occasionally home appliances are also sold. Garage sales take time and preparation, so make sure to start planning well in advance.  Set a date. Pick a date 2-3 weeks ahead of time. This will give you time to plan and advertise your sale. When setting a date, be conscious of the time of year and be sure to take weather and temperature into account. You are less likely to have good traffic on very hot or very cold days and rain is major deterrent. Advertise your garage sale in local newspapers, on community bulletin boards and on Craigslist. The more people who are aware that your garage sale is taking place, the more people who will show up! Gather items for sale. This should be done in the weeks leading up to your garage sale. Go through old boxes in the garage, attic and under the stairs. Walk from room to room and gather any items you no longer want or need. Attach a clearly written price label to each item. This will make it easier for customers and save you time on the day. You can use small adhesive labels, bits of masking tape or a sticker gun. Enlist help from friends, family and neighbors. This will make your garage sale more manageable and less stressful. You will also have more fun this way! Have plenty of change. Go to the bank the day before your garage sale and get rolls of quarters, dimes and nickels and plenty of dollar bills. Add interest to your garage sale by selling crafts, baked goods and beverages. Items like cookies and lemonade will sell well while also encouraging people to stick around a bit longer. A flea market is a type of bazaar that rents space to people who want to sell or barter merchandise. You can sell all types of used goods at a flea market, though jewelry, household furniture and sports equipment are...

Use a small amount of spray paint to color the basket frame.  Make sure to use spray paint that is approved for use with metal.     White, black, silver, gold, and bronze paints have the most traditional appeal, but you can use any color that matches with the décor of your room

Paint a wire planter basket. Cut out and stack the parchment paper and wax paper. Iron the paper together. Repeat the paper ironing steps. Cut out circles of wax paper. Cut and attach ribbon to the planter basket. Glue the paper capiz shells onto the ribbons. Hang the chandelier over an existing ceiling light.

You may need to come back to the tiles you've just grouted and re-apply grout later on, so it will be helpful to have grout already set aside. Grout will easily absorb moisture that it comes into contact with, so be sure to store it in an airtight container and away from moisture exposure.  A sealable plastic bag is a great container for storing leftover grout. Grout, especially epoxy grout, dries incredibly quickly, so put your leftover grout in an airtight container as soon as you know that you won't be using it on your walls or floors. Your unused grout should last for about a year, so long as it's stored properly. Allow your grout adequate time to set completely, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then, fill the expansion joints with caulk that matches the color of the grout you used on the rest of the tiles. Use your finger to remove excess caulk and form it into the right shape.  Expansion joints and inside corners that are grouted tend to crack over time, which is why it's better to use caulk in these gaps. Grout usually takes 24-48 hours to cure, although this may vary based on the specific kind and brand of grout that you use. There's no harm in allowing your grout to cure for even longer than the recommended time, as long as you don't run water over the tiles or apply too much force to them. Sealant will help prevent mold growth and various forms of water damage from affecting your tiles. Pour a small amount of sealant onto the grout, then work it in with a sponge by rubbing it in small, circular motions. Finally, wipe off the sealant after 5-10 minutes. To stay safe, re-apply sealant to your grout about every 6 months.

TL;DR in English: Keep any leftover grout in an airtight container for touch-ups. Allow the grout to cure, then use caulk to finish the expansion joints. Apply a sealant once the grout has cured.

Use spray paint to color the basket frame.  Make sure to use spray paint that is approved for use with metal.     White, black, silver, gold, and bronze paints have the most traditional appeal, but you can use any color that matches with the décor of your room.    Cut a 36-in (91-cm) piece of parchment paper and three 18-in (46-cm) pieces of wax paper. Lay the parchment paper out on an ironing board and place the three pieces of wax paper inside. Fold the parchment paper over the wax paper to sandwich the pieces in.  The parchment paper helps the wax stick together and stay within the layers of paper. It also creates a smooth, finished surface on the wax paper.     If you do not have an ironing board, you can lay this out on a clean dish towel in the middle of a hard floor or table.    Use a low setting on your iron. Pass the iron over the paper sandwich several times to melt the layers of wax paper together. Remove the layered wax paper from the parchment. The wax paper should stick together, but it should not stick to the parchment paper.    Continue creating stacks of three-layered wax paper until you use an entire roll of wax paper.  For large planter frames, you may want to use half of a second roll, as well. You do not need to use new parchment paper for each layer. The parchment paper can be reused. Use a circle cutter to cut 2.5-in (6.35-cm) circles out of each layered sheet of wax paper. Cut as many circles as possible.  If you do not have a circle cutter, you could use a cookie cutter or other circular stencil that measures roughly 2.5 in (6.35 cm) in diameter. Trace around the stencil using a craft razor or blade.     Cut the circles out over a cutting mat. It may help to tape the wax paper to the mat as you work to prevent it from sliding around.    You will need to cut out anywhere from 90 to 120 strands of ribbon.  You can either attach the ribbon in single or double layers. The method you use will determine the needed length of each strand.     Single-layer ribbon should be about 7 in (18 cm)...

Gather your materials. Print off a pillow box template. Assemble the main part of the box.

Regularly inspect the gas lines connecting your grill to the gas tank by applying a small amount of soapy water to the surface of the line and connectors. This should be done each season you are using the grill and monthly during periods of high usage.  Use a rag or brush to apply soapy water along the length of the gas line. Make sure to apply soapy water liberally around the connections and valves. Look for any bubbles that indicate gas is leaking causing a potentially dangerous situation. In between every 3-4 times you grill, heat up the grill without any food present.  Turn the burners on high. Close the lid to burn up any drippings that have fallen on the burner protectors. Allow the heat to build up inside the grill for 10-15 minutes. Invest in a cover for your grill to protect it from the elements when it is not in being used. Keeping rain and debris from piling up on your grill will help keep it from rusting and extend the life of your grill.

TL;DR in English: Check your gas line for leaks. Burn off any drippings to prevent grimy build up. Cover your grill in between uses. Finished.

Unlike the previous boxes discussed, you will need to do some cutting and gluing. Don't let this intimidate you; pillow boxes are actually the easiest type of paper box to make. It's best to use cardstock or another type of thicker paper for these boxes. In addition to paper, you'll need scissors, a ruler, and glue. You will also need a scoring tool if you use cardstock. Find a template you like online. You can pick a minimalist pattern or an elaborate one.  You can even print out a blank template that you can decorate yourself. If you choose to decorate the paper, do so before you start folding. Decorating an already-folded box is both difficult and runs the risk of collapsing it. You can also print a blank template directly onto decorative paper. Fold the box in half again, decorative sides facing out. Tuck the flap under the far edge of the box. Line up the flap so that its crease is now flush with the far edge. Place your box in a heavy book while the glue dries to seal the edges.

Use a mild soap to clean vinyl furniture. Harsh chemical cleaners are not necessary for a routine cleaning where you're not trying to remove set in stains. In a bucket or bowl, mix a small amount of mild soap with warm water.  A mild dish soap is a good option for vinyl furniture.  The precise amount of soap and water you need depends on how much vinyl you're cleaning. Larger pieces of vinyl furniture will need more soap and water than smaller furniture. Opt for a soft, plastic bristle brush. Use this to scrub down the vinyl furniture on all sides. You can use a decent amount of pressure, as vinyl furniture is fairly strong. Scrub as hard as necessary to remove dirt, debris, and any discoloration. For outdoor vinyl furniture, it's easiest to use a hose to rinse any soap residue from furniture after cleaning it. For indoor furniture, use a rag or towel dipped in clean water. Make sure to hose or wipe down the furniture until water runs clear. Leaving soap residue on your vinyl furniture can cause damage. Vinyl furniture should not be left to air dry. After cleaning and rinsing your furniture, pat it dry with a clean towel. Make sure to remove all moisture from your furniture after cleaning it.

This will help prevent hearing damage when you first put it on. There is a jack on the bottom of the controller in the center. Plug the headset into this jack. When you start playing a game, slowly turn the volume up until it is at a comfortable level. The headset is only for voice chat, no game sound or music will be transferred through the headset. If the headset doesn't work, it may be faulty or the connection port may be dirty. Ensure that the cables are not frayed, and that there is no dirt on the connector. You can use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to clean the port.

Once you have your message in mind and have settled on the elements you want to use to express it you can begin to create your comic.  Creating a basic layout for your comic will allow you to get a feel for how it will look visually and how well it conveys your message.  Think about how best to use your space. Ask yourself what elements are most important.  Give them most space and attention in your layout. You might find that some original ideas don't fit or are cluttering the comics intended message.  Consider removing these extraneous elements. After you have decided the rough layout of your comic you can begin to sketch the outlines that will make up the completed comic.  Don't worry about forming the lines perfectly as you will be able to improve them as you work.  Take your time and enjoy creating the cartoon that you are designing.  Start outlining with a pencil, allowing you to make changes later on. Once you are happy with how the sketch looks begin to clean up your lines. Clean your lines by either making them bold or by erasing any rough areas and drawing them smoothly. It's okay to make some last minute changes and add some finishing touches. If you are happy with how your comic looks you can finalize your lines using black ink. Many political cartoons make use of dialogue which is featured in what is called a speech “bubble” or “balloon”.  These “bubbles” hold the text in an empty white space, allowing the audience to clearly read it.  Draw speech “bubbles” and place your text inside of them now to represent any dialogue you wanted to include.  Speech bubbles are generally smooth and oval shaped, with a triangular extension that points towards the person speaking. You may also want to use thought bubbles.  Thought bubbles are like speech bubbles but appear as small clouds, holding your characters inner dialogue within them. If your comic calls for color you can add it after your lines have been finished.  Adding color can be a great way to make your comic stand out and may even allow for further...

If you're planning on attending a graduate program in business, you may be feeling overwhelmed with the application process. However, it's important to remember that your test scores are only valid for a specific range of time. If you're not planning on attending your program in the near future, you may want to make sure that your scores would still be valid then, or hold off on taking the exam until a later date.  When you take the GMAT will depend, in part, on when your graduate school applications are due. The more time you give, the better, but you should take the GMAT a minimum of 21 days before the deadline. Remember that your GMAT scores are only valid for five years.  If you plan on attending a graduate program in the next year or two, it's best to begin planning and preparing now for the GMAT. If your plan is to attend graduate school in three or more years, you may want to wait another year before taking the GMAT to ensure your scores are valid. Every graduate program has different requirements and application deadlines. Some programs may accept late materials if the rest of your application is submitted on time, while other programs have a firm deadline and will consider any missing component an incomplete and ineligible application.  Find out what each program of interest will require from you, and what that program's deadline is. Some schools do not require the GMAT, though many do.  Many graduate programs have a minimum GMAT score that they'll accept, though that score will vary from one university to another. It's important to know what your school will require so that you can either cancel a poor score and/or retake the test as needed. Make sure your program is through an accredited college or university. You can search for business programs in your area by searching online, or use an online database of schools across the nation through the GMAT website. There are some basic requirements that anyone wishing to register for and schedule the GMAT must meet. In order to meet those requirements,...
