Make sure you’re not tying the knot on a flat surface.

Hold two points on the line about 12 inches (30 cm) apart. Bring the points together to form a loop. Pass the bottom of the loop over the top. Wrap the loop around itself 5 more times. Pass the loose line through the gap at the top of the loop.

Real gold is very heavy. If you have a piece of quartz with pieces of what you think is gold inside it, try weighing it and compare the weight with a similarly sized piece of quartz. If the quartz with gold pieces in it weighs several grams more than a similarly sized piece of quartz, it's possible that your quartz contains real gold.  Real gold weighs about 1.5 times more than fool's gold, or iron pyrite. Fool's gold and other minerals that look like gold will not produce a weight difference between the pieces of quartz. In fact, the piece with gold-colored particles inside may even be lighter than your other piece of quartz if the gold is not real. Iron pyrite, most commonly referred to as “fool's gold,” is magnetic, whereas real gold is not. Hold a strong magnet up to the gold-colored material in your piece of quartz. If your rock sticks to the magnet, it is iron pyrite and not real gold. Refrigerator magnets may not be strong enough for the gold test. Purchase a stronger magnet, or earth magnet, at a home improvement store. Real gold will not scratch a piece of glass, but other minerals that look like gold often do. If your piece of quartz has a corner or edge that looks like gold on it, try scratching this against a piece of glass. If it leaves a scratch, it is not real gold. You can use any piece of broken glass or mirror for this test. Just be sure to use something that you don't mind scratching. Real gold will leave a gold-colored streak when scratched against unglazed ceramic, such as the back of a bathroom tile. Iron pyrite leaves a greenish-black colored streak when scratched on ceramic. Try the back of a loose bathroom or kitchen tile for this test. Most ceramic dishes are glazed, so they won't work for testing the gold. If you don't mind destroying the quartz, you can find out if you have gold in your quartz by doing an acid test. Place your quartz in a glass jar and cover it completely with white vinegar. The acid in the vinegar will dissolve the quartz crystals in several hours, leaving only...

TL;DR in English: Compare weights between pieces of quartz. Do a magnet test. Try scratching a piece of glass with the gold. Scratch a piece of unglazed ceramic with the gold. Conduct an acid test with vinegar.

Don't wear any clothes that are too tight or restricting or that will keep you too warm at night. They can keep you from falling asleep because you aren't comfortable, as well as make you restless later. One study even found that wearing tight clothing at night suppresses the release of melatonin, which is necessary for falling and staying asleep. Caffeine can interfere with your sleep even if it has been six hours since you last had any, so make sure to stop drinking it early. Another stimulant to avoid is nicotine; it's best to try to quit smoking and using all other nicotine containing products (vaporizing nicotine, chewing tobacco, patches, and gum) altogether if you are having trouble sleeping. Keep in mind that you may have a period of withdrawal as you are cutting out nicotine, and this may interfere with your sleep. Be sure to discuss any issues you are having with your doctor. At least an hour before you want to sleep, turn off your computer, phone, and television. The bright lights of the screen tell your brain to stay awake, so to get your mind ready for bed, they need to go. The blue light from screens is especially responsible for causing sleep disturbances. If you find you can't sleep because your brain keeps going, stop trying to sleep. Go try another activity for a time, such as reading a book. You'll begin to feel sleepy, and when you do, return to bed. This practice helps you to associate your bed with one thing--sleep.  Another way to slow down your mind is to try meditation, as it clears your mind of thoughts if you do it properly. It also relaxes you, helps to regulate your sleep, go through more REM cycles, and sleep better overall.One simple meditation is to concentrate on your breaths. Take deep breaths in and out, focusing solely on your breaths. Try counting to four each time you inhale, and then repeat four counts each time you exhale to help slow your breaths. You can also use a guided meditation app to help you learn how to meditate. Also, have a pen handy. That way, if you think...

TL;DR in English: Get comfortable. Cut out stimulants. Turn off the electronics. Stop your racing mind. Keep snacks light before bed. Stay on schedule. Try melatonin. Try a sleep aid. Understand when to see a doctor.

Use your thumb and index finger to pinch these two points on the line. Choose the knot’s location based on where you would like to add additional lures on your fly line. Although the “loop” of the dropper loop will only end up being 2–3 inches (5–7.5 cm) long, you need much more line than that to tie the entire knot. At this point, it doesn’t matter if the side of the line in your right or left hand is placed on top. Once you’ve brought the two points together to form a loop, pinch the points firmly together using one of your hands. Make sure that the portion of the line which comprises the loop is not twisted. If you’re tying the knot on a flat surface, the loop should lie flat. To begin wrapping the dropper loop around itself, use your free hand to grasp the bottom of the large loop. Pass this over the top of the loop. At some point, you’ll need to release the fingers pinching the top of the loop together while you pass the bottom of the loop over the top. Be sure not to lose track of which part of the knot you were pinching, though, and to grasp it again once you’ve wrapped the loop around itself. Once you’ve wrapped the bottom of the loop over the top, repeat this step until there are 6 loops total. If you’re using a heavy, thick monofilament fishing line—e.g. 100 lb or thicker—you can stop at 3 loops. Separate the initial two points on the line that you’ve been pinching together. This will open up a gap between the two wrapped sides of the line. Once you’ve completed the 6th wrap and the bottom of the loop is beneath the wrapped portion of the line, use your free hand to pass the loose line up through the hole at the top of the loop. Continue passing loose line through the gap until you have a sizeable loop and no loose, dangling line.

Dirndls usually expose a fair amount of cleavage, so it’s best to wear a supportive bra with plenty of lift. Many shops which carry dirndls also sell push-up bras, known in the area as a bustehouder, or BH. Also, you’ll likely want to wear a pair of bloomers or full-coverage undies beneath your dress in case your skirt flies up while you’re dancing. The blouse, or bluse, beneath a dirndl is almost always made so that it stops just beneath the bust. Many of the blouses have a string in the middle that you can use to adjust how low-cut your top is. If you pull the string, the blouse will show more cleavage, or you can loosen the string if you prefer more coverage.  Most dirndl blouses are white, although you can sometimes find them in black or other colors.  Dirndl blouses may have a sweetheart neckline or they may be off-the-shoulder, and they can be plain or adorned with lace and ruffles. A dirndl dress consists of a bodice and a skirt, and it often has both a zipper and laces. The laces are in the front beneath the bust, but the zipper may be on the front, side, or back of the dress. A dirndl dress is designed to fit very snugly. It should be form-fitting when you put it on, and even tighter once you lace it up. If the bodice isn’t already laced, check the pocket of your dirndl for a piece of ribbon or chain. Criss-cross the ribbon through the eyes on the bodice, starting at the top and working your way to the bottom. Pull the laces as tight as you can. The intended effect is to push up your cleavage and cinch in your waist.

TL;DR in English: Start with the appropriate undergarments. Put on your cropped blouse and adjust the neckline. Slide the dress on over the blouse. Tighten the laces on your dress.

You should always start with the title of the poem, as the title can tell you a lot as a reader. Determine what the title is telling you and what expectations the title creates for you as a reader. You can use the title as a jumping off point for analyzing the rest of the poem.  Maybe the title tells you about the subject of the poem, such as “Love and Friendship”, or the title labels the poem as a specific literary genre or type, such as “Ode to Melancholy” or “Sonnet 14.” Use the title as the first clue to what the poem might be about as well as certain themes or ideas in the poem. Write down your initial reaction to the title in the margins of the poem or on a piece of paper. What are your thoughts and expectations about the poem based on the title alone? Once you have read the poem several times, out loud and to yourself, you should try to identify the main subject of the poem. Try to answer the question, what or who is the poem about? Try to be as detailed and precise as possible when you answer this question. Avoid a general statement or a vague impression of the subject of the poem.  For example, perhaps you are trying to understand the poem, “I Hear America Singing” by Walt Whitman.  You may determine that the poem is about America, both as a larger idea and as individual people part of a nation, such as “the boatman, the mason, the carpenter, the mother.” You may also think the poem is trying to look at the uniqueness of each individual American, where “Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else” as well as how this uniqueness contributes to the idea of America as one nation, united. You should consider the premise or situation of the poem. Determining the situation of the poem will help you get some grounding in the piece and situate yourself as a reader.  Ask yourself several questions, such as, What appears to be going on in the poem? Who is talking and to whom? Where is the poem taking place? Why is the poem being told? Does the poem have a turning point where the tone, focus, or...

TL;DR in English: Consider the title of the poem. Identify the main subject of the poem. Determine the key situation in the poem. Note any references to literary or historical events. Research some background on the author of the poem.

In most college applications, there will be a space to list you're achievements and any notable extracurricular activities. Take your time with this space. Make sure you include any relevant information that will reflect well on you as a potential student.  Sports, clubs, the arts, formal organizations, and volunteer work are all good extracurriculars to include. Try to list anything you've done in your academic career. You do not have to limit your list to school-based extracurriculars. If you took piano lessons for 8 years from a private tutor, this is worth mentioning.  Part time or summer jobs can also help, especially if they were more professional in nature. An internship is definitely worth mentioning on a college application.  Achievements are also important. List any semesters you made the honor roll. If you've won or placed in any contests, write that down here. If you set any records on a sports team, mention it. Some college applications have a series of questions you have to answer. For example, you may be asked to provide an explanation of some of your achievements. You may be asked about academic goals or scholarly interests. Spend some time answering these questions to the best of your abilities.  Go for action verbs and detailed descriptions. For example, if an applications wants you to explain an achievement, don't just write, "I worked at a law firm for a summer." Instead, say something like, "I spent my summer vacation learning about the inside workings of the legal profession, assisting lawyers with research and organizing paperwork."  Use your words wisely if necessary. Some applications may limit you to a set number of words per answer. You should type your questions in a separate document before adding them to the application. Then, you can tweak and trim down your sentences as needed to keep it under the word limit.  Always proofread questions extensively. Typos and spelling and grammar errors will not reflect highly on you in a college application. Most college applications require...

Open the can of beans, pour the beans into a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Place a dutch oven or heavy cooking pot on the stovetop and turn the height to medium. Add a high-heat cooking oil, such as safflower or coconut oil, and heat for one to two minutes. At this point you can add aromatics if you wish, such as chopped onions, garlic cloves, carrots or other seasonings. Heat the beans to a low simmer and stir occasionally. You can also add water or stock to the beans if you want more of a sauce consistency or are making soup. Canned beans come precooked, so you really just need to heat the beans to the desired temperature for three to five minutes.

Once you figure out what immigrant category you belong to, you'll need to have your family or employer file an immigrant petition for you. In rare cases, you'll file one yourself.  If you're obtaining a green card through your family, your relative must file Form I-130, the Petition for Alien Relative. If you're obtaining a green card through your employer, your employer must file Form I-140, Petition for an Alien Worker. If you're an entrepreneur investing money, you need to file Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur. If you're in a special category such as a widow or widower, file Form I-360.  If you're a refugee or asylee, you most likely don't need an underlying petition if you meet the requirements to adjust status. Once your relative, employer or you yourself file your initial petition, you need to check to see whether a visa is available before filing the remaining application forms. The number of visas available differs according to your immigrant category and the country from which you are emigrating.  There are an unlimited number of visas available for people applying for a green card through immediate relatives.  There is a limited number of visas available to those applying for green cards through family that is not immediate and for employment purposes. You will receive a priority date and be put on a waiting list until a visa becomes available.  You'll receive a "Visa Bulletin" that will allow you to check your place in the visa queue. You have to wait for a visa to become available before this form can be filed. Read the instructions on the form and make sure to submit all of the required documents and information. Be sure to send your forms to the correct address.  If you're applying for a green card through an immediate family member, you can file form I-485 at the same time your relatives files your petition, since there are unlimited visas available in your category. There is a filing fee of $1070.

If you want to be more fashion forward, reach out to a friend whose style you admire. Being trendy and fashionable takes a certain amount of work. You can learn a lot from someone who knows how to follow the latest styles.  Ask your friend how he or she stays up to date with the latest fashions. Ask him about what blogs you should follow to keep yourself fashion forward. You can also use your friend as a source. Certain trend forecast websites have big user fees. It can much easier to lean on a well informed friend to keep track of the latest in fashion.  Remember, you should never copy someone's style. While you can ask your friend for advice, try not to become a copy of that person. Being trendy does not mean blindly following every trend. It simply means being aware of a variety of styles and following trends that flatter you. Not every trend works for every person. People can often be guilty of overdoing it when it comes to trends as well, resulting in unflattering fashion choices.  Pick what works for you and what you feel comfortable with. You're unlikely to look good in a trendy outfit if it doesn't flatter your body type and if it makes you uncomfortable. For example, if a certain style of dress looks bulky on you simply follow a different fashion trend. There's no reason to wear certain clothes simply because they're trendy.  Do not overdo it. Leggings may be in at the moment but that does not mean a pair of casual leggings looks good with every outfit. A pair of black leggings coupled with a long sweater might look great. However, leggings with a more formal top may look tacky. Use discretion when following trends and don't be afraid to simplify or adjust given the occasion.

If you try to absorb everything there is to know about a topic all at once, you’ll soon find yourself overwhelmed. Whether you’re reading a chapter in a history textbook or trying to learn how to play the piano, focus on one piece of information at a time before moving on to the next. Once you’ve mastered each piece, you can work on putting them together into a coherent whole. For example, if you’re reading a chapter in a textbook, you might start by doing a quick skim of the whole chapter or even just scanning the chapter headings to get a sense of the content. Then, do a close reading of each paragraph and try to identify the key concepts. while you learn. Taking notes can help you engage more fully with the material you are learning, making it easier for your brain to understand and absorb it. If you are listening to a lecture or an explanation of a topic, jot down the key points as you listen. If you’re reading, write down key words, summarize important concepts, and make note of any questions you have about the material. Studies show that taking handwritten notes is more effective for most people than typing your notes on a computer. When you write your notes by hand, you’re more likely to focus on the important points rather than trying to write down everything you hear or see. Summarizing is a good way to test your knowledge and help clarify your understanding of a subject. After learning something new, whether you heard it in a lecture or read about it in a book, take a moment to write a brief paragraph or a few bullet points summing up the key points.  You can also try summarizing the information verbally. If you’re working with a teacher, they can give you direct feedback based on your summary to help you determine whether you understand the concept correctly. For example, you could say, “So, to find the area of a rectangle, I multiply the length by the width. Is that correct?” Instead of spending hours of your time studying a single subject each day, spread it out into multiple sessions of 30-60...

Kittens learn to eat, clean themselves, and drink water from their mothers as they grow. Kittens need to be left with their mother for at least a month before they start being weaned off of milk and onto solid food. This process usually takes about two weeks. If your cat was taken from its mother too early, or was orphaned, you can usually start weaning around three weeks. You shouldn't need to do anything to "teach" a cat to drink but provide plenty of fresh drinking water in an accessible location for your cat. Each day, pour out any leftover water in the cat's bowl and refill it to provide for the cat.  Don't worry if you don't see your cat drinking regularly or your cat doesn't drink just because you put some water in front of it. Water can be room temperature. It doesn't need to be cold for the cat to be attracted to it. Experiment some with different sizes and shapes of cat bowls if your cat seems hesitant to eat or drink from them. Stainless steel, ceramic, and glass bowls are all easy to clean and make for fine cat dishes. If your cat has difficulty reaching into the bowl, get a smaller bowl.  Keep the cat's food and water right next to each other, and introduce them to your cat by sitting and petting the cat while you pour food and water into the bowl. The cat shouldn't have to go looking for something. The cat's food and water should be in a separate place from its litter. Just like people, cats don't like to eat and do their business in the same place. Your cat's water bowl can get gummed up with saliva and minerals from tap water, and it needs to be rinsed out thoroughly every couple of days. Rinse the bowl with warm soapy water and a dish sponge, then rinse it thoroughly before refilling it. No, you don't need to scour cat bowls like you might your fine china, but it's a good idea at least to rinse it out every couple of days. It only takes a minute and your cat will appreciate drinking from a clean bowl. Available at most pet stores, water fountains are sometimes sold for cats who are hesitant...

TL;DR in English: Leave the kitten with its mother until its at least 4-6 weeks old. Provide fresh drinking water daily. Make sure the bowl is easily accessible. Clean the cat's water bowl. Try drinking water fountains. Feed cats canned wet food.

Everyone knows that an even number is divisible by 2, but in magic squares, there are different methodologies for solving singly and doubly even squares.  A singly even square has a number of boxes per side that is divisible by 2, but not 4.  The smallest possible singly even magic square is 6x6, since 2x2 magic squares can’t be made. Use the same method as you would with odd magic squares: the magic constant = [n * (n^2 + 1)] / 2, where n = the number of boxes per side. So, in the example of a 6x6 square:  sum = [6 * (62 + 1)] / 2 sum = [6 * (36 + 1)] / 2 sum = (6 * 37) / 2 sum = 222 / 2 The magic constant for a 6x6 square is 222/2, or 111. All rows, columns, and diagonals must add up to this number. Label them A (top left), C (top right), D (bottom left) and B (bottom right). To figure out how large each square should be, simply divide the number of boxes in each row or column by half. So, for a 6x6 square, each quadrant would be 3x3 boxes. Quadrant A gets for the quarter of numbers; Quadrant B the second quarter; Quadrant C the third quarter, and Quadrant D the final quarter of the total number range for the 6x6 magic square. In the example of a 6x6 square, Quadrant A would be solved with the numbers from 1-9; Quadrant B with 10-18; Quadrant C with 19-27; and Quadrant D with 28-36. Quadrant A will be simple to fill out, as it starts with the number 1, as magic squares usually do. Quadrants B-D, however, will start with strange numbers — 10, 19, and 28, respectively, in our example.  Treat the first number of each quadrant as though it is the number one. Place it in the center box on the top row of each quadrant. Treat each quadrant like its own magic square. Even if a box is available in an adjacent quadrant, ignore it and jump to the “exception” rule that fits your situation. If you tried to add up your columns, rows, and diagonals right now, you’d notice that they don’t yet add up to your magic constant. You have to swap some boxes between the top left and bottom left quadrants to finish your magic...

The ropes used by Navy SEALS are natural fiber Manila ropes.  These ropes are prone to fraying over a long period of time but are very strong and generally accepted as the standard in rope climbing.  They are readily available online and at some military surplus stores.  Your rope should be about twenty feet long and have a two-inch diameter. Without a strong upper body, you will be unable to climb with any speed or competence.  There are many ways to improve your upper-body strength.  Pushups are useful for building upper-body strength.  To perform a pushup, lay down with your chest against the floor.  Place your arms shoulder width apart and place each hand just to the side of its corresponding shoulder.  In other words, place your right hand just to the right of your right shoulder and your left hand just to the left of your left shoulder.  Point the tips of your toes down and balance on them.  Your body should be rigid like a plank.  Push off the ground with your arms, then lower yourself until your arms form a ninety degree angle.  Repeat 15-30 times, or until you feel significant strain. Try pull-ups.  Pull-ups require lifting yourself up on a horizontally-oriented metal bar two to three centimeters in diameter.  Grab the bar with your hands facing either toward or away from you.  Pull your chin up over the bar, then lower yourself back down until your elbows form a ninety degree angle. Lift weights.  You can lift a barbell on a bench press, or use dumbbells.  Start out at a low weight and slowly add weight until you feel a significant strain after 12-15 reps of your given exercise.  You could do simple curls, in which you move the hand holding your dumbbell from a ninety degree angle up toward your chest, then back down again for 10-15 reps.  Alternately, you could lie on your back on a bench with your arm in a fully extended horizontal position while holding a dumbbell or kettle bell, then bring your arm to a vertical position before returning it to an extended horizontal position. Do grip strength...

Having a pattern as your guide for making a cloak will take a lot of the guesswork, measuring, and math out of the process. You can simply follow the pattern’s instructions for how much fabric to buy and use the pattern pieces to cut and sew the fabric.  Look for a beginner level pattern if this is the first time you are making a cloak. You can find a pattern in a craft supply store, or you can find free patterns online.  The pattern package should have a list of the items you will need to make the cloak. Use this as your guide when purchasing your fabric and notions, such as the clasp and thread. Cotton and broadcloth work well for the exterior of a cloak if you want it to be lightweight. If you want something heavier, then you can use wool or linen. If you plan to wear the cloak outdoors, then make sure the fabric you choose will hold up against the elements, such as a waterproof nylon or vinyl fabric. Make sure that the fabric you choose moves easily. Hold a piece in your hand and try to wave it around. If it is stiff, then it probably won’t work well for a cloak. Good choices for the inside of a cloak are satin and silk, but you can use any smooth fabric you like. A smooth fabric will make it easier to get the cloak on and off over your clothes. However, if you do not care about making the inside of your cloak smooth, then you can use any type of fabric you want. Silk and satin can be expensive. To save money, you can use cotton or broadcloth for the interior. They won’t be as smooth, but they are much cheaper. The exterior fabric of the cloak will always be visible, but the interior will only be visible when you flourish the cloak, open it up, or take it off. Still, having a little pop of color on the inside of the cloak is a nice touch, or you can go with an interior fabric that will match the exterior for a more subtle look.  For example, go with a black fabric for the exterior, and a black fabric on the interior for something subtle. Or, use black fabric for the outside of the cloak, and red, green,...

If you are able to choose your own play, pick something easy and something you might already be familiar with to start. Most editions will have a brief synopsis printed on the back cover. If the play sounds intriguing, it might make for a good selection.  Romeo and Juliet is often a good starting point because many of us are familiar with the “star-crossed lovers” plot. Consider a comedy, like Taming of the Shrew, a play which has been adapted to film for modern audiences. Macbeth is another popular Shakespearean tragedy, and if you are interested in political intrigue, this might be the play for you. There are two major choices to make. The first choice is between texts that have been modernized to smooth over the differences in language use from Shakespeare’s time to our own time, or texts that have not been modernized. The second choice is between texts that are annotated or non-annotated. Annotated texts may provide definitions, context, and value-added information that will help you to form a deeper understanding of what is going on in the play.  The "No Fear Shakespeare" series is a good option that offers the original text side-by-side with modernized text. Remember that modernized text should support understanding, and not replace the original. Popular annotated versions are available by Arden and Oxford. Non-annotated texts will provide just the text as it was originally written. ” Language is always evolving, and some of the words in Shakespeare's plays have a different meaning today than when the plays were written, or they are no longer in use. When in doubt, use the context of the sentence to figure out the meaning or reference an online Shakespearean glossary. Here are some examples:  ”Thee” as “you.” For example: “When will I see thee next?” ”Thou” as “you.” For example: “Thou art a villain.” ”Thy as “your.” For example: “Thy name is more hateful than thy face.” ”Hath” as “has.” For example: “He hath killed many a man.” OR “He hath a horse. In Shakespeare’s writing, parts of speech are...

TL;DR in English: Select a play. Choose a good edition. Familiarize yourself with the most frequent “Shakespearisms. Understand Shakespeare’s use of grammar. Enjoy Shakespeare’s wordplay. Gather other resources you might need.

Know their schedules, and plan for a time when they will be away for a least a few hours. Make sure that there's a large enough window before you get too excited. Listen for talk of date nights, weekend events, and movie plans. These are usually good for about 3-5 hours of parental absence during which you can plot your own secret rendezvous. If they ever go out of town and leave you in charge, you’ve hit the jackpot. This is probably the easiest option.  If your parents won't let you go over to a partner's house, you can always lie and claim to go to a friends house or out shopping, however, this could cause more trouble in the long run. You never know when a perfect opportunity is going to appear. If you and your partner are raring to go, you should be ready to jump on the chances that you get. Having sex in a car is doable as long as you can find a secluded place to park. This option might be a bit cramped, but it certainly can be done. If you live in a rural area, try pulling over on a country road. Business parks are usually fairly deserted on weekends and after hours. You can also try to hide in plain sight with lots of other cars around in a big parking lot.  Try to avoid parking near buildings or businesses. Otherwise, make sure to look out for security cameras, and make sure to read any signs that indicate you're not supposed to be there. You don't want to draw the attention of police or security guards! Keep in mind that many public places are closely monitored at night, when people have less reason to come and go. If this is your only option, try to do it during the day if you want to avoid suspicion from police, park rangers, and security guards. You might be able to arrange for some privacy at a social gathering or the house of someone whose parents are less uptight than yours. It’s a long shot, but totally worth looking into. Remote natural settings like parks and forests are usually good places to get some alone time. Pack a picnic with food, drinks, and blankets, and hike around together in...

TL;DR in English: Do it when your parents are away. If your partner's parents are more open-minded or else leave the house more, go over there as much as possible. Seize the moment. Use a car. Talk to mutual friends about other options. Venture into the outdoors. Look for another indoor space. Be aware of the risks.

Then increase them to an effective setting. See a physiotherapist to get help adjusting the settings. This will reduce the likelihood of your using a setting that is too high or too low. Ask about common massage points useful for relaxation on your body. The physiotherapist will have experience and will be able to advise you as to what is best for your condition and what to avoid.  To relieve your personal pains find the pain points with finger tips and apply electrode pads around there. The better settings are different for each person, depending upon how sensitive you are and what your condition is. The body gets resistant to a unit that has only one pattern of electro "tapping". Some have a random pattern. This will prevent you from having too much electricity delivered to too small an area.Turn the TENS device off while you are adjusting the electrodes. You can arrange the electrodes in several ways, depending on what works best for you:  Around the area that hurts or over acupuncture points that the physiotherapist can show you on a chart. If the electrodes are colored red and black, you want to position the black electrodes farther from your trunk or torso, such as on your arms or legs, and the red electrodes should be closer to your torso. This will help prevent unpleasant impulses from going to your central nervous system. It will also stimulate muscle contractions.  You can arrange the electrodes in lines, in X formations, or in squares, but they must be at one inch or farther apart. To make an X, place one pair of matched negative and positive electrodes for one diagonal and another pair for the crossing angle. Start with the machine off, then turn it on when the dial is at its lowest setting.  Slowly raise the electrical current until you feel a pleasant tingling feeling. If it hurts, then  the current is too high. More is not necessarily better. Turning it up too high will not increase the amount of pain relief. Your body may get used to the effect of a certain level of current after a while. If...

If you are a fan of sports, then you’ll want to know what he likes. Determine what he likes the most, or something that he may not have all the equipment for and then think of gift ideas around it. It’s okay if your gift isn’t overly sentimental or meaningful

Write down the hobbies or sports that he enjoys. Talk to him about his interests. Read blogs or magazines for the type of gift you plan on getting him. Narrow your potential gift ideas down to three. Buy an accessory for the guy who has everything. Do an activity together.

Often times natural food, and plant-based oils have a wonderful aroma. They also have the added benefit of moisturizing your skin. Since bleach dries out the skin, it is a win-win: no more dry skin, no more chlorine stink. Some suggestions include:  Coconut oil Almond Oil Olive oil Aloe Vera lotion: make sure the lotion is high in Aloe Vera as that will make a huge difference in its effectiveness Tea tree oil lotion: like Aloe Vera, a higher concentrate will do a better job Citrus based lotions Citrus based soaps: there are some all-natural soaps that provide both the cleaning power of soap and the moisturizing effects of lotion. Check your local health food store to see if they have any that fit your needs and budget. When using oils you don't want to overdo it. You could wind up over-oiling yourself, thus adding another step (namely, removing all that excess oil!). If you're using lotion, this should be enough to coat your entire hand and give you a good idea if you need more and if the lotion you've chosen is doing the job. If you use a citrus based soap, lather up then use hot water. This helps the soap latch onto those base bleach molecules and lift them out.

TL;DR in English: Use select natural oils, lotions, and soaps. Apply a little at a time. Apply a few dollops. Lather up.

Cover your counter with plastic wrap, parchment paper, or wax paper. You can also work on top of a marble counter or a glass sheet instead.  Try to work in a well-ventilated area. Silicone can have a strong odor. The silicone used in this method is not the same as hot glue. Pour some cornstarch onto a smooth counter or into a glass bowl, then squeeze some clear silicone onto it. The measurements don't have to be precise; you just want to have more cornstarch than silicone. Plan on using about 5 tablespoons (50 grams) of cornstarch and 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 40 grams) of silicone.  Make sure that you are using clear silicone. You can find it in home improvement stores. It comes in a syringe.  If you can't find cornstarch, look for cornflour. You can also use potato starch instead. You don't have to do this, but it a good way to make your phone case look more interesting. If you don't do this, your phone case will look white. You use a few drops of liquid dye, liquid watercolor, food coloring, or acrylic paint. You will need to knead it about 20 times or so. You won't pick up all of the cornstarch, which is normal. The dough may look crumbly at first--just keep kneading! You can do this with a rolling pin, a glass, a wine bottle, or even a spray paint can. Keep rolling until you have a sheet a little larger than your phone. It should be about ⅛ inch (0.32 centimeter) thick. Make sure that your screen is facing upwards, and you have equal amounts (or close to it) of dough sticking out over each side. Slide a paint spatula under the dough, then lift it up and fold the dough over the sides of the phone. Smooth out any creases or wrinkles; try to be as neat as possible. Flip your phone over and dust it with cornstarch. Use a stamp to indent designs into it. You can also use cardboard cutouts instead to create your own, unique designs. Lift the stamp away when you are done. If you want to make a quilted design, let the silicone harden for about 10 to 20 minutes, then dust it with cornstarch. Use a knife to make...

TL;DR in English: Put on plastic gloves and protect your work surface. Measure out your cornstarch and clear silicone. Consider adding some color. Knead everything together until the silicone turns to dough. Roll the dough into a flat sheet. Place your phone on top of the sheet. Wrap the dough over the sides and top of your phone. Use stamps to indent designs, if desired. Let the silicone dry before removing it. Trim the excess silicone away from the front. Cut out any indentations. Sand the case smooth, if desired. Paint the stamped areas with nail polish, if desired.

If you are close to the guy, then you’ll already know what sports or hobbies he participates in. Determine what he likes the most, or something that he may not have all the equipment for and then think of gift ideas around it. It’s okay if your gift isn’t overly sentimental or meaningful. Some men prefer practical gifts.  If he plays a sport, new equipment, a signed piece of memorabilia, or tickets to a game are perfect gifts. If you're younger, you could give him baseball cards or a new football. If he’s into art or music, then art supplies or music equipment make for great gifts. You can even buy him a song on iTunes, or make a playlist if you are on a budget. If he’s more of the gamer type, maybe getting him a new game or a new piece of hardware for his system or computer would be greatly appreciated. Artists always need art supplies, so if he’s the artistic type, new brushes or paint would be great gifts. Musicians are always in need of new gear, whether it be an extra strap for a guitar, cords for  a DJ, or strings for a violinist. If you regularly talk to the guy that you’re getting a gift for, you can ask him in casual conversation for things that he wants. Some guys are more open and these guys will likely make their opinion known on things that they don’t have. However, in some friendships, candor can be limited, so make sure the conversation is organic so you don’t send mixed signals, or tip him off to your intentions.  You can bring up something you plan on getting him and get his opinion on it without giving away the fact you plan on gifting it to him Make a mental note of anything that he said he wishes he had in other conversations. A good place to find good ideas for gifts are blogs, forums, and magazines. On blogs and forums, you’ll find people who are into the same interests as the guy you plan on getting the gift for. This will give you a heads up about the hottest new product or upcoming event.  You don’t need to create an account or post anything on the forums. Concentrate on reading up on...

For best results, use "strike anywhere" matches for these tricks. Try striking on a rock. Try striking on rough building materials. Sandpaper. Try cautiously striking on your zipper. Try striking on a window. For an extreme challenge, try striking on your teeth.

Call them when you have some free time. If you’re both busy and it’s difficult for you to both make time, schedule a time to talk. You can also stay in touch via text or email. Send them articles that you think she might enjoy, or things that remind you of her. Ask her how significant people are doing. These will all show that you care about her and the important things in her life. When you talk, try to follow up on topics that she previously mentioned. This shows her both that you remember what she was saying and that you care enough to ask about her life. When you talk to her, you’ll have something specific to ask her about. When appropriate, comment on and like her posts on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Be careful not to overdo it, you don’t want to make her uncomfortable or seem clingy. A good example of using social media to make her feel special: She posts a picture of her going skiing. The next time you talk, tell her you saw her post and ask her if she had fun. Did she go with friends or family? This will show her that you are thinking about her, and that you want to learn more about her. If you don’t get to see her often, but know she’s looking for friends where she lives, think about other friends you have in her area. If someone comes to mind, introduce the two of them. In addition to showing that you’re thinking about her, this will also demonstrate that you care about her happiness even outside of your relationship with her. When you introduce your two friends, tell a fun fact about them to give both of them something to talk about and make them feel good. Example: “Emily, this is my friend Olivia, we played on the same soccer team in high school, and she was by far the best defender on the team. Olivia, Emily and I were both chemistry majors in college and took a lot of classes together, we made class really fun together.” Now they both have context for your friendships, and have a few easy topics to start a conversation. Whether it’s tomorrow or next month, setting time aside in advance...

TL;DR in English: Stay connected. Pay attention to social media. Connect the person with a friend. Plan your next hangout. Follow through.

One of the main ways to build bridges instead of walls is by recognizing shared humanity. That means, we all have much more in common than not. Find a way to relate to others and you’ll limit judgments. If you catch yourself criticizing or judging others, find three things you have in common with that person or the situation. For instance, your partner didn’t stand up for themselves at work. Rather than judging them as weak, think about three different times when you had trouble speaking up for yourself. Acceptance is necessary for overcoming a judgmental attitude. Acceptance implies letting a person be who they are; not trying to change them. When you are able to recognize that another person is human—and all humans make mistakes—you can choose to accept the person.  Acceptance also implies lack of total control. When you judge, there’s an underlying desire to control others, or make them into who you would like them to be. Acceptance means allowing them to be who they are, and recognizing that you have no power to change them anyway.  To demonstrate acceptance, you might remind yourself "I am not in control of who she is. Her behavior does not reflect on me. I can help her by being loving and accepting." Sometimes we get stuck in the mud of flaws and refuse to see the good in others. Counteract this negative tendency by purposely identifying the positives in those around you. Do this daily. Start a practice of listing 10 positive strengths about yourself and others each day. This helps you train your mind to see the good rather than the bad. Your judgments of others often come from an inner need to avoid your own flaws. People who judge others are also often very judgmental of themselves. Don’t use others’ problems to cover up your own, or place yourself on a pedestal. If you notice yourself being judgmental, remind yourself that you are flawed, too. Therefore, you have no place to judge.  Increasing your self compassion will help you gain a natural compassion for others. You might repeat silently, “I am...

TL;DR in English: Focus on similarities, not differences. Accept others’ flaws. Celebrate others’ strengths rather than dwelling on faults. Recall your own shortcomings. Apologize to those you judge.

You don't have to use the included striker to light most matches — as long as you build up enough friction to heat up the match head, you can strike many matches almost anywhere that's dry. However, this is usually easiest if you use strike anywhere matches. As their name suggests, these matches are designed to light well on various surfaces.  Strike anywhere matches are usually wood matches identified as such on the packaging. They are not especially expensive: a 250-match box may cost as little as $2.  Strike anywhere matches only work on dry surfaces. This trick is a must for campers, hikers, and anyone else who might want to improve their wilderness survival skills. For best results, you'll want to find a flat dry rock with a slightly "rough" or abrasive surface. The texture should be similar to sidewalk concrete. As noted above, the rock also must be dry. If you can't find a dry rock, find a suitable wet rock, wipe it on your clothing, and carry it in your pocket for a few hours or set it somewhere dry. Hold the match between your middle finger and thumb and use your index finger to press the head into the rock. This is the same technique you'd use to light a paper match without folding the cover over. The rougher the rock's surface is, the lighter you'll want to press to hit the friction "sweet spot" for lighting a flame. If you're still in civilization but stuck without access to a match striker, you can usually use the materials around you in a pinch. Simply strike the match the same way you would if you were using a normal striker or a stone, using less pressure for rougher materials. For this to work, however, the material you use must be completely dry. Just a few possibilities for materials to use include:  Concrete Grout (between tiles, etc.) Brick Ceramic Keep in mind that striking matches can leave small marks on whatever material you're using, so you may not want to do it on other people's possessions. This trick is handy when you're caught without a matchbook in the garage or workshop. Very...

Test out different things you can attach stickers to. You'll get better results by attaching stickers to slower moving objects that don't get blurry. Got something in your video you don't want others to see? You can pin a 3D sticker to it, and it will remain covered throughout the entire clip, even as the camera moves around. The sticker will automatically resize as necessary. 3D stickers work great for replacing your pet's face with a smiley face. Take a video of your pet and pin a sticker to it. The sticker should track your pet's face as it moves in your video. You can pin more than one emoji to your video at once, allowing different emoji to track different objects. There is no practical limit to the number of emoji that you pin to objects. The object you pin an emoji to doesn't have to start in the video. If you pause and attach an emoji to an object that appears half-way through the video, the emoji won't appear until the object appears.

TL;DR in English: Try pinning stickers to different things. Use stickers to censor objects in your video. Pin a sticker to your pet. Add multiple emoji. Pin emoji to objects that enter the frame later.

If you’ve stopped seeing your therapist or you’ve never seen one, now is a good time to get into therapy. Tell your therapist that you struggle with OCD and relapsed recently. Work toward preventing future relapses by learning skills to manage and cope with OCD symptoms. Work with the therapist to identify specific triggers so that you can avoid additional problems in the future.  The best type of therapy is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, which is also known as “Talk Therapy”.  Other types of therapy to help out with your relapse of OCD include Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is a type of CBT.   ERP involves progressive exposure of the object or situation that is leading to the relapse, and how to best cope with your anxiety about the obsession. It’s okay to ask friends and family for help and support. Share your experience with someone who cares about you and is willing to listen and support you. Even when you would rather isolate yourself, make an effort to make plans with friends, spend time with family, and maintain an active social life. By isolating yourself, you increase your risk of experiencing anxiety and OCD. Surround yourself with people who care about you. A support group is a great place to meet other people who struggle with anxiety and OCD symptoms. You can share your experiences, give and receive advice, share recommendations, gain a sense of community, and make new friends. Consider joining a self-help group, support group, or group therapy for individuals struggling with anxiety and OCD.  If you do not have a group near you in your community, join an online support group. For more information, check out How to Join an Anxiety Disorder Support Group. You may relapse with OCD if you feel better and decide to stop taking your medications. You feel like you are “cured” or that your OCD was just a “phase.” Unfortunately, OCD is a chronic condition that must be treated and prevented. It is possible to manage OCD effectively, yet there is no “cure” for OCD.   OCD is often treated with...

Spread a towel onto a flat surface. Leave in overnight.

The cap is a small covering located over the mouthpiece of the inhaler to prevent foreign objects from getting in the inhaler. Pull the cap to remove it and set it in a safe place.  An uncapped inhaler can pick up germs and debris, which you will then pump into your lungs. Make sure that you don't lose your cap while you're using your inhaler. The inhaler should be clean, especially the mouthpiece. Remove the cap and check the inside and outside of the mouthpiece. Check the expiration date to make sure that it can still be used. Wipe any grime or debris off the inhaler with a dry tissue or cotton swab. If the mouthpiece is dirty, wipe it down with rubbing alcohol, and let it dry. Hold the inhaler in your hand with your index finger on top of the canister. The mouthpiece should be on the bottom with the top of the canister pointing up. Quickly move your inhaler up and down by pumping your forearm or wrist. If you haven't used it in a while, make sure that you prime it by pumping it until it sprays at full force. Don't worry about wasting medicine because an unprimed inhaler will not provide you a full dose, putting your breathing at risk. Instructions for priming vary, so know how many pumps it takes to prime yours. Take off the cap and look inside to make sure that there is no grime or debris inside the spacer. If there is, then try blowing it out. If you can't clear out the debris, you may need to wash your spacer.  Don't wipe your spacer with a cloth because it will create static cling that attracts your medicine.  Clean your spacer by dismantling and washing it in mild dish detergent. Allow it to air dry before putting it back together. Breathe in through your mouth. Open your lungs to their maximum capacity, then hold the breath for just a second. You only need to slightly tilt your head back. This will open your airways so that the medicine can easily flow into your lungs.

When starting the game, you will be able to choose a few upgrades for your virus. What you choose here will have a huge impact on how the game plays out, so choose wisely. There are a few suggested upgrades that you should pick to make this game easier:  DNA Gene - ATP Boost. This will give you extra DNA points at the beginning. Travel Gene - Aquacyte. Basically required to infect difficult islands like Greenland, Iceland, and New Zealand. Evolution Gene - Patho-Stasis. This will make your upgrades much cheaper. Mutation Gene - Genetic Mimic. This slows the cure progression, offsetting the negative effects of the Patho-Stasis upgrade. Environment Gene - Extremophile. This boosts the infection rate in every environmental condition. Before choosing a starting country, use your ATP Boost bonus to purchase a few starting upgrades. These upgrades will increase ineffectiveness while keeping lethal mutations from showing up too early.  Coughing Gene Compression 1 and 2 Your starting country is very important, as this will determine how quickly the virus starts spreading.

Technical analysis is an attempt to understand market psychology or, in other words, what investors as a whole feel about a company as reflected in the stock price. Technical analysts are normally short-term holders, concerned about the timing of their buys and sells.If you can detect a pattern, you might be able to predict when stock prices will fall and drop. This can inform you about when to purchase or sell certain stocks. Technical analysis makes use of moving averages to track security prices. Moving averages measure the average price of the security over a set of period of time. This helps traders more easily identify trends. Patterns identified in a technical analysis include identifiable price boundaries in the market price of a stock. The high boundary, which the stock rarely surpasses, is known as the "resistance." The low boundary, which the stock rarely dips below, is called "support." Identifying these levels can let a trader know when to buy (at resistance) and when to sell (at support).  Some specific patterns are also detectable in stock charts. The most common one is known as "head and shoulders." This is a peak price then drop, followed by a taller peak then drop, and finally followed by a peak similar in height to the first. This pattern signals that an upwards price trend will end. There are also inverse head and shoulders patterns, which signify the end to a downward price trend. An investor seeks to find a company with a competitive advantage in the market place that will provide sales and earning growth over a long period. A trader seeks to find companies with an identifiable price trend that can be exploited in the short-term. Traders typically use technical analysis to identify these price trends. In contrast, investors typically use another type of analysis, fundamental analysis, because of its focus on the long term. Orders are what traders use to specify the trades that they would like their brokers to make for them. There are numerous different types of orders that a trader can...

To prepare the screen for darning, unravel a few strands from the perimeter of the tear to use as your thread. As you do so, take care to not make the holes and tears any larger than they already are. One or two strands is more than enough. For larger holes or tears, you may not be able to darn it. In this case, you may need to patch the hole. Match the two ends of the screen evenly for a neat and secure seam. There should be little-to-no space gap in the middle. If you cannot line up the two ends without leaving a noticeable hole in the middle, you may need to patch the screen instead of darning it. the strands through the screen with a sewing needle. Once the torn edges are lined up, use a needle to weave the thread through the screen strands. If you don't have strands of screen material available or do not want to risk making the hole bigger, use a heavy-duty, polyester thread. Make the stitches as small and identical as possible.  Choose a needle with a large eye that can accommodate the screen strand. If you have sewn the hole or tear and it is still noticeable, cover it with a patch. A securing stitch will prevent the darn from coming undone. Make a small stitch at the end of the hole or tear, then stitch over it again. At the end of the stitch, make a small knot and pull it tightly to finish the securing stitch.

TL;DR in English: Unravel the strands surrounding the hole or tear. Line up the screen seams neatly. Weave Finish darning the screen with a securing stitch.

Make sure your parents have time to talk. If they’re frazzled and running late to work, hold off until things are calmer. Catch your parents when they’re in a good mood, because they’ll be more likely to listen to what you have to say. Don’t act like you deserve a cat. It’ll just make your parents shut down. Instead, approach the situation with an attitude of gratitude. Your parents will be more open to your argument. You might tell your parents, “I want to start by saying that I’m super thankful to have parents who support me and work hard to give me some amazing things.” If you made a presentation, now’s the time to whip it out. Otherwise, go through the key points you planned out earlier. Remember to talk about your plan for care, why you want a cat, and how you plan to address their concerns. You may not be able to pay for everything, but offering to contribute to the cost of a cat shows you’re serious about getting one.  Imagine you only have $50, but a cat costs $100. You could say, “Mom, I really want a cat, but the ones at the shelter cost about $100. If I pay for $50, could you cover the other half?” Or, you could offer to pay for the initial cost of the cat and ask your parents to help you out with the annual expenses. Maybe if you get straight A’s next quarter, your parents will let you get a cat. Or, offer to do extra chores from now on. Whatever you and your parents agree to, stick with it. It’ll show you’re ready for the responsibility of being a cat owner. You could say, “If I get an A in math next quarter, which will take a lot of work because it’s one of my hardest subjects, will you let me get a cat? I want to show you how committed I am.” If you lose your temper, your chances of convincing your parents will be slim. Try to stay calm and avoid getting defensive, even if your parents give you a firm no. If you feel yourself getting riled up, take a few deep, slow breaths.

The first step to preparing an effective apology is to realize what you did wrong. Don’t make up excuses for why you did what you did or blame others. Be brutally honest with yourself, and determine what offense you committed that contributed to the conflict. Consider how what you did or didn’t do effected the other person and his or her life. You can now comprehend the Taurus personality a little better, so take a moment to think of how he or she feels both during and after the offense. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes, and use the Taurus perspective to imagine these emotions very clearly—anger, hurt or disappointment. Recognize that you wish you hadn’t done the action or said the words you did but don’t beat yourself up about it. Everyone makes mistakes, but your apology will only be effective after you forgive yourself. This is because guilt is very distracting, and an apology is not about you but the person you wronged. Forgiving yourself, apologizing to the person you hurt and trying not to make the same mistake again are the best things you can do for a guilty conscience. The purpose of guilt is to discourage you from going against your values, moral codes or beliefs. Know that holding onto guilt serves no positive function. Every conflict has 2 sides and at least 2 people contributing to the problem. If the conflict occurred with a Taurus, then chances are you were also hurt in some way. Your apology will not be sincere if you have not gotten over the harm he or she caused you. Even if you don’t say anything about it, you will not be able to forget the things that hurt you, and resentment may slip through in other ways.   Think of at least one reason that the other person reacted the way he or she did. Consider the earlier exercise when you put yourself in the other person’s shoes.  It is easier to forgive someone when you see their point of view and understand motivations, emotions and personality traits. This type of compassion may encourage others to forgive you more easily as well. ...

TL;DR in English: Admit what you did wrong to yourself. Understand how the other person feels. Forgive yourself. Forgive the Taurus. Plan your apology. Think of a solution.

Sleek black heels will add sex appeal and complete the high-fashion look of your leather lace-ups and black top. Pointed-toe black heels with ankle straps can look sharp with leather pants. High-heeled black booties with a chunky silhouette also work well and can add a rock-and-roll edge to your chic outfit. The sportiness of lace-up leggings goes perfectly with a pair of designer sneakers. High-top and low-top trainers both look great, so choose according to your personal style. You can branch out with color, but plain white sneakers can add a nice contrast while complimenting the overall minimal vibe of the outfit. Keep the rest of your outfit black and simple, then add a glamorous coat on top. You can tone down a racy outfit by wearing a statement coat over it without losing the overall high-fashion vibe. Complete the look with a pair of black cat-eye sunglasses. Go for high drama by wearing a duster-length black coat or one that is trimmed in fur. Your lace-up pants should be the most eye-catching element of your outfit. Choose minimal accessories in dark neutral colors. For example, carry a simple black leather clutch and wear a pair of basic black sunglasses. Wear a pair of nude ballet flats for the ultimate casual minimalism. Avoid wearing a lot of jewelry with this look, which can end up looking overwhelming.

TL;DR in English: Play up the raciness of leather lace-ups by wearing black heels. Wear trendy sneakers or trainers with lace-up leggings. Add a touch of glam with a long black statement coat and sunglasses. Keep your accessories simple and sleek.

If you are committed to a home birth, you should still have a doctor or midwife present. Most doctors will not rush to induce labor unless there are extenuating circumstances, including when:  Your water breaks, but there are no contractions. You are two weeks past your due date. You have a uterine infection You have gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, or not enough amniotic fluid. There is a problem with the placenta or baby's positioning/growth. With gloved fingers, the doctor will reach into the cervix and rub the membrane of the amniotic sac until it separates from the uterine wall. Naturally-released hormones then usually kick-start labor. Known medically as an "amniotomy," the doctor uses a thin hook to break the amniotic sac. This almost always brings on labor within a few hours. While it is short, this may be painful and uncomfortable. It may be applied directly to the vagina or taken orally. This usually happens in a hospital, and it thins out the cervix to prepare it for labor. This often leads to strong cramping and some pain. This is generally for slowed or stalling labor. In emergencies, like those outlined above, it can also help induce labor. Labor induced with oxytocin often leads to more frequent contractions.

TL;DR in English:


Examine the zipper to see if it’s strong enough for stretching. Insert a calf stretcher into the boot. Spray the boot with stretching spray if you want extra stretch. Twist the handle or wheel to widen the boot stretcher. Leave the stretcher in for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Before you get a ferret, you will need to spend a great deal of time setting up. You will have to run many errands gathering supplies, and then take an afternoon to assemble them in your home. In the event you move, you will have to repeat the process. Be honest with yourself about whether you have time for ferret proofing.  You will have to fill in any holes or gaps in furniture or walls, ferrets love to crawl and hide in such areas. You will also have to hide heavier objects, like stereos and speakers, in cupboards. Ferrets love to climb, and can knock such objects over and get hurt.  Staircases need to be blocked off, and household furniture made of products like wood will need protection. Ferrets will chew such objects. Cleaning and upkeep of your home will be more timely when you have a ferret. Ferrets will chew almost anything, and can get hurt if they chew or swallow the wrong object. Therefore, you will have to keep your home very clean if you're housing a ferret. Ferrets are social animals. They will not be happy if they don't have time to play with a human companion. A ferret is, by no means, a hands off pet, so make sure you can dedicate adequate time to playing with your ferret.  Ferrets do sleep a lot. They tend to be sleeping for about 18 hours a day. However, during times when they are awake, they are very active and need a lot of stimulation. Do not leave a ferret in a shelter or cage for the entire day. You will need to spend several hours a day playing with your ferret to keep it healthy and happy. Litter training is important for a ferret, as you don't want a ferret having accidents around the home. Also, ferrets must be taught proper behavior. You will need to dedicate time to training your ferret not to bite and scratch. Ferrets are intelligent and highly trainable. However, like any animal, training takes time and persistence. You will have to train your ferret over the course of several weeks, and always punish negative behaviors like biting. This can be time consuming, so you should...

TL;DR in English: Think about the time commitment of ferret-proofing your home. See if you have enough time to play with a ferret. Remember that ferrets require training. Keep cleaning time in mind. Remember a ferret's lifespan.

Raise your arms straight above your head. Fully extend your dominant leg straight out in front of you, keeping the other leg straight beneath you.. Stand tall and engage your core muscles. If you are starting with a spotter, they should put one hand on your back, and one hand under the thigh of your kicking leg. Point your palms upwards and push your hips forward. Push your arms and head backwards, making sure that you move them together. Bend your back slowly and carefully, keeping your dominant leg in position.  Keep your abdominal muscles tight so that you can keep control of your core as you bend backwards. Make sure to balance your weight firmly on the one leg that is on the ground. Do not bend you knees or elbows just yet. Bend your hands so that your fingertips point towards the ground. Make contact with the mat underneath you and plant your hands onto the ground. Allow your weight to shift onto your hands.

TL;DR in English: Raise your arms and extend your dominant leg. Start bending backwards. Land on your hands.

If your zipper is shoddily constructed, or if it’s not sewn in well, you may damage it by using too much pressure with the boot stretcher. Make sure you are using a stretcher designed for the calf of a boot and not one for the toes or instep. A calf stretcher will look tall and thin. You don’t have to use a stretching spray, but it will help soften the fabric and you will achieve better results. Depending on the style of boot stretcher, you may have a lever or there may be a small wheel in the center. Use these to adjust the stretcher until it fits snugly in the calf of the boot. For best results, you want to leave the stretcher in for as long as possible. If you sprayed your boots with stretching spray, you’ll want to leave the stretcher in until the spray dries.

TL;DR in English:


Be subtle. Get her to respond. Be direct.

Select a contour color and/or matte bronzer that is one or two shades deeper than your skin tone. For the highlighter, choose a color that is slightly lighter than your natural complexion.  Cream and powder are both acceptable choices for contouring your face. Cream provides a glossier texture on your face, while powder provides a matte look. A makeup blending brush is recommended for applying the makeup. Effective brushing ensures proper blending and avoids streaky makeup. Alter your hairstyle to better accentuate your cheeks, or to give your face an overall thinner appearance. Pulling your hair back into a ponytail, parting your hair on the side instead of the middle and adding volume to the crown of your head all help your face appear thinner.

TL;DR in English: Purchase materials. Change your hairstyle (Optional).

You cannot have success if you do not know what it means for you. Everyone views success differently.  True success comes from achieving what will make you happiest in life. Once you have identified this, you can set goals that are meaningful and important to you.  Try writing down your definition of success. Is it earning a certain income, living in a certain area, or supporting a happy family? Would success allow you to travel, save for retirement, or maintain a healthy social life? If you’re struggling, consider what makes you happiest in life. Is it spending time with your family, traveling, pursuing a hobby, or something else? What would you do if money was not a concern? Next, identify what you need in life to achieve that happiness. Identify the things you love to do, the things that give you satisfaction. Once you identify what you love to do, use this information to find the purpose of your life or the objective of your life.  Finding what you love to do will give you motivation along the way. It's much, much easier to persistently chip away at your goal if your goal is something you enjoy doing. Consider where you want to be in 5, 10, and 20 years. What can you do that will help you achieve that dream? If you’re confused about what your goal or purpose might be, try meeting with a career coach or visiting a good psychologist. Your goals should be quantifiable. For example, instead of setting a goal to be better at your job, create benchmarks such as "My goal is to increase my productivity by 30% and only be late for work five times per year, at the most." Focus on streamlining your idea and establish what you need to do to reach that goal. If you have the vision to attack your goal piece by piece, it's easier and less daunting to execute.  For example, does the goal of starting a technology company seem impossibly unattainable? Break it down into smaller goals. Smaller goals could include writing a business plan, finding investors, getting a loan, or coming up with product ideas. Make sure that your...

TL;DR in English: Define what success means to you. Identify your ultimate purpose or goal. Break your goal into small steps. Set a timeline for when you want to achieve your objective. Identify what resources you need to achieve your objectives.

Don't be sneaky or manipulative, just casually drop hints here or there.  Your mom may notice, or she may just start to get an idea of what age you and your peers are reaching.  A subtle hint might be something like, “My friend [insert name] has started shaving her legs.” Don't feel too awkward.  It shouldn't be a big deal. Casually mention what is going on with yourself or other girls at your school. Your mom may be picking up on your hints, but choosing not to respond.  Getting her to respond is the best way to start a conversation.  Use questions that require an answer.  For example, “Some of my friends have started shaving their legs.  When did you start shaving your legs, mom?”   Asking direct questions like, “When do you think it is a good age to start shaving your legs?” will give you a sense of what your mother thinks. Just make sure to ease into it. If you think that your mother will say yes, and if she hasn't acted strangely to your other hints, try hinting more directly.  The most direct way is to ask for razors when you are at the store. You can say, “I think that it's time for me to start shaving my legs. I have the most hair on my legs out of any of the girls in my grade/class.”

TL;DR in English:


Check the zoning restrictions in your area for the maximum structure height. Opt for a turbine if the average wind speed is 14 mph (23 km/h) or more. Calculate the minimum diameter for the turbine blades to power your home. Place the turbine on a tower that’s 30 feet (9.1 m) taller than other structures. Hire an electrician to connect the turbine to your home’s power system.

Don’t use a bronzer that is more than one skin tone darker than your own. Check carefully when buying it at the store and test out a few on your face to see which color will work best for you. Avoid bronzers with orange tints -- these typically do not look good on pale skin. Go for bronzers that lean toward brown. Different products work well for oily, combination, and dry skins. Using testers, check at the store which products feel and spread best on your skin. Bronzers are supposed to add a healthy-looking shine to your skin, and can be very useful for making pale skin appear slightly darker. (They are not designed to make your skin look bronze, despite their name.) After getting some on the brush, tap off any excess before applying. Focus on your temples and cheekbones. Use only a little on your nose and chin, and blend a little on your neck.

TL;DR in English: Choose your bronzer or blush color. Select a bronzer that works for your skin type. Apply bronzer with a big brush.

When he is fully dried off, use your double-sided stainless steel comb to comb through his coat and remove any tangles. Once his coat is all smoothed out, you can use your spray conditioner to put a nice finishing touch on his coat. Keeping your puppy's ears clean is just as important as keeping the rest of him clean. Following the instructions on the ear cleaner bottle, pour the recommended amount of ear cleaner into your puppy's ears, one at a time, and gently massage his ears. Use a clean cotton ball to clear out any obvious debris. If you are comfortable doing so, use a small pair of tweezers to remove hair from your puppy's ear canal. If you are unsure of how to do this, your veterinarian or local pet groomer can do this for you. . Using your nail clippers, trim your puppy's nails down to just above the quick. The quick is the blood vessel that runs halfway through your puppy's nail. It is easy to identify if your puppy has light-colored or transparent nails.  The quick has many nerve endings. If you trim past the quick, not only will the nail start to bleed slightly, but your puppy will experience some pain. If your puppy has light-colored or transparent nails, you may be able to see the quick from the side of your puppy's nail. If this is the case, trim the nail until you see that you are just above the quick. If your puppy has dark-colored nails, trim a very small amount at a time and look at the cut edge of the nail. Stop trimming when you begin to see a gray or pink oval in the cut edge of the nail—this oval is the quick.  If you trim the past the quick and the nail starts to bleed, dab a small amount of styptic powder onto the nail to stop the bleeding. The bleeding will stop immediately after you apply the styptic powder. If you are not comfortable with trimming your puppy's nails, your veterinarian or local pet groomer can perform this task.

TL;DR in English: Comb your puppy's coat. Clean your puppy's ears. Trim your puppy's nails

Since wind systems are tall, you may not be able to install the system in a residential area depending on your zoning requirements. Check with local building inspectors or your city’s homeowner’s association to see if you’re eligible for building a turbine. If zoning isn’t an issue, then you can build a turbine on your property. Many zoning ordinances have a height limit of about 35 feet (11 m), and many wind systems need to be 30 feet (9.1 m) higher than the tallest structure within 500 feet (150 m). Look online for wind speed maps or airport wind speed data to see what the average wind speed is in your area. If the average wind speeds are around 14 miles per hour (23 km/h), then a turbine might be an efficient way to generate electricity to power your home. If the wind speed is slower, then you may not get the turbine’s full effectiveness.  Wind speeds increase the higher above ground you are. Many airports measure their wind speed from about 30 feet (9.1 m) above ground, which is similar to the height of a residential turbine. Hire a professional who installs wind turbines to check the efficiency and wind speed of your property for you if you have trouble determining it yourself. Check with your electric company to find out how many kilowatt-hours your home used in the past year. Use the formula AEO = (0.01328)D2V3, where AEO is your annual energy output in kilowatt-hours per year, D is the diameter of the rotor in feet, and V is the annual average wind speed in miles per hour. Solve the formula for D and buy a turbine system with the correct size rotors.  For example, if you use 11,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year and the average annual wind speed is 20 miles per hour, your formula would be 11,000 = (0.01328)D2(15)3. If you solve for D, the diameter you need for your system is about 10 feet (3.0 m). Once you know what size turbine you need, purchase one from a reputable supplier. This company may also be able to supply you with other crucial parts (like the tower) and/or complete the...

Use a small amount of water to make the cheese. Add a tablespoon (15 mL) of garlic powder and a tablespoon (15 mL) of wet dog food. Blend all the ingredients together. Pour the mixture into a bowl and gradually add flour to thicken it. Separate the dough into small balls.

Choose your method wisely. Be prepared for the time and expense. Build your hair’s health before you go gray. Purchase a 10 to 20-volume cream developer. Buy a hair toner to help eliminate brassiness after bleaching. Buy a gray hair dye and the other necessary tools for home use.

To do your best, you’ll want to concentrate on the moment. But, you can also find small ways to take mental breaks as well. While you are running, pay attention to the environment around you. Try to focus on the spectators on the sidelines of your marathon. Or, perhaps keep your focus on the trees or greenery. This will take your mind off your discomfort. If you are not in pain due to an acute injury, then you can generally compartmentalize the negative sensations connected with pain, thus minimizing its power over you. Don’t give pain more power than it should have. If you experience discomfort, start to think about all of the ways that pain can be good.  For example, muscles are often sore or in pain before they regenerate even stronger. Just be aware of your body and know how to differentiate “true” pain, such as shin splits, from “false” pain, such as muscle soreness. If you know that you are suffering from an injury, such as shin splits, then it is a good idea to modify your training regimen. You may need to run for shorter periods of time or distances. Try to develop a plan to build back up to your desired goals, but realize that you will need to be realistic about what your body can, and can’t, do when injured. There are some moments when pain and discomfort must be taken seriously. If you feel a sharp pain in your shin or hips, it is best to slow or stop running. If you start to experience tightness in your chest or severe stomach pains, stop and seek out help as well. When in doubt, trust your instincts and err on the side of caution. If you suspect that you are injured or if you are experiencing noticeable pain when running, it may be a good idea to talk with your physician. Explain your running routine and ask them for advice regarding potential modifications. View your visit as an opportunity to learn more about your body in order to maximize its potential.

TL;DR in English: Find a focal point outside of yourself. Disconnect pain from injury. Be careful when injured. Respond quickly to serious physical warning signs. Consult with a doctor.

Any kind of cheese will work, but the smellier, the better. Catfish are attracted to strong, intense smells. Use a large spoon to stir the chicken liver into the cheese. You can use any flavor of wet dog food. Once the dog food and garlic powder are in the pot, stir the mixture thoroughly. Pour the bait from the pot into a blender and blend it thoroughly. Blending the mixture will make it easier to turn into a dough later on. Stop adding flour once the mixture develops a dough-like consistency. Don’t add too much flour or you could make the bait too thick. Use your hands to form the balls so they’re small enough to fit on a fishing hook. They should be about the size of a golf ball. Place the cheesy dough balls in a sealable plastic bag or container and stick them in the fridge or freezer. When you’re ready to use your bait, all you need to do is attach one of the dough balls to a fishing hook and you’re ready to go! Your bait can stay in storage for as long as you want, but the smell may become overwhelming after a while. If the bait becomes dry or crumbly, you'll need to throw it away and make a new batch.

TL;DR in English: Melt 1 pound (0.45 kg) of cheese in a large pot. Chop up 8 ounces (230 g) of chicken liver and add it to the melted cheese. Add a can of wet dog food and 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of garlic powder. Blend all the ingredients together. Pour the mixture into a bowl and gradually add flour to thicken it. Separate the dough into small balls. Store your bait in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to use it.

Consider whether to use an at-home dye kit or professional dyes, or go to the salon. Carefully consider the costs, processes, and risks involved in each method.  For the salon method, costs and products will vary. Check out websites of local salons or call them for pricing. If possible, talk to a stylist in person. Use the box kit method with caution. Read online reviews to help you choose a box kit that works best on black hair. A popular box kit is L’Oréal Paris Preference Les Blondissimes LB01: Extra Light Ash Blonde. It won’t dye your hair platinum, but may get you down to an ashy blonde in one go.  Use professional-quality products, if possible. Some professional companies require a cosmetology license in order to make a purchase, so keep that in mind. Regardless of which method you choose, it will likely take multiple bleachings to achieve the gray tone that you want. Take the time and expense (i.e. multiple salon visits, multiple purchases of dye kits or professional products) into consideration before you decide. In the weeks or months leading up to the bleaching, avoid using harsh hair products and heat styling tools on your hair. If your hair feels damaged, do weekly deep-conditioning masks until it feels healthy enough to be bleached.  Use good-quality shampoos and conditioners to moisturize your hair without adding buildup or stripping your hair of its natural oils. Look for low pH, oils (argan, avocado, olive), glycerin, glyceryl stearate, propylene glycol, sodium lactate, sodium PCA, and alcohols that start with “c” or “s.”  Avoid strongly fragranced products, alcohols that begin with “prop,” sulfates, and any products that claim to add volume. Cream developer reacts with the powder to bleach your hair. It comes in different volumes ranging from 10 (weakest) to 40 (strongest). The higher the volume, the quicker it will turn your hair blonde, but also the more damaging it will be. Most stylists recommend using 10-volume or 20-volume. A 20-volume developer is your safest bet for effectiveness and...
