Opt for one-syllable words when possible, since these can make your last sentence hold more weight. Additionally, they help you create a feeling of finality.  You might write, "With more funds, the park can give each child a chance to learn and grow." Each of these words contains just one syllable, but it conveys an important final note about the importance of the author's ideas about funding the park. Don’t spend too much time and effort trying to find a one-syllable synonym for every word in the sentence. This isn’t a hard and fast rule—the idea is just to write a concise, punchy sentence. A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses (or sentences) joined together with a coordinating conjunction, which are your FANBOYS. A parallel sentence includes the repetition, or listing, of words or phrases that have the same grammatical structure. For example, "Kate likes reading, writing, and studying."  FANBOYS is an acronym for the conjunctions "for," "and," "nor," "but," "or," "yet," and "so." If you're using a compound sentence, you might write, "The dog food donation program can collect as many as 2,000 bags of food per year, and each shelter will have enough food for every dog." If you're using a parallel structure, write, "The dog food donation program can collect food, feed dogs, and save lives." " Using clichés like these is a big turn-off for readers. They already know they're reading your conclusion because they've reached the end of your paper, so this may feel redundant. These phrases are more appropriate for an oral presentation. Switching tones at the end of your paper can unsettle or confuse your reader, as it will seem out of place. Make sure your attitude toward your topic and the formality of your writing remain the same throughout your paper. For instance, you might think an emotional, dramatic ending will linger with your reader longer. However, that’s not an effective strategy if the body of your paper is logical or analytical. Never bring up a new idea or topic in your conclusion,...

TL;DR in English: Choose simple, one-syllable words for a greater impact. Use a compound or parallel sentence to create a balanced ending. Avoid using opening phrases like "in conclusion" or "in summary. Use the same tone as you did throughout the rest of your paper. Refer only to information you included in your paper. Keep your evidence in the body of your paper. Avoid apologizing for what you’ve written.

When you encounter a problem, stop and think about all possible solutions. Before you begin asking anyone for help, take some time to determine exactly what kind of help you need. A concise call for something specific will always garner better results than a general plea for assistance.  If you are seeking monetary donations, think very carefully about the specific amount you need, and exactly how it would be spent. If you are looking for professional advice, determine the precise question you need to ask. Rather than simply explaining your problem, try to devise a practical solution you can ask for. People are much more likely to help if they feel like you’re doing some of the work. Use the internet or talk to people you know to learn more about your unique problem, as well as what could solve it.  For example, if you need help paying your mortgage, be sure you have investigated all refinancing options and state or federal programs that could help you. Begin with a simple internet search of your problem and read all you can about other people who have been in your shoes, as well as possible solutions to your problem. Some requests are best made in person, others are better over email, and still others are best communicated en masse through social media or other online platforms (such as Facebook, Reddit, or Go Fund Me). Think about how your inquiry will work best.  Do you need to speak to a specific person or would you rather speak to many people at once? Are you able to schedule a meeting and speak to someone? Are you comfortable blasting your situation on the internet? Whether you intend to use the internet or approach someone in person, think about who your target audience is. Who is most likely to respond to your request? Furthermore, make sure you know why you are choosing to reach out to that person (or people). If you can express your motive for choosing them specifically, people are much more likely to help.  Is it a professional acquaintance, or someone whose work you admire? Is it a specific online...

TL;DR in English: Determine what you need. Conduct some research. Determine the best mode of communication. Find the best person (or people) to reach out to.

Using a test phone call is one of the more reliable indicators as to whether or not someone has blocked you. If you hear exactly one ring and are then sent to voicemail, you may have been blocked. Just because your call goes straight to voicemail doesn't mean you have been blocked. Your contact's phone may be dead. If you receive the same result after calling a couple times, it's a good indicator that the person you're trying to reach has blocked you or has a dead phone. Users are not notified if they are receiving a phone call from a blocked number.

Similar to a point spread in football, the run line is how many runs a team will win by; however, the MLB runline will usually be set at 1.5. The odds will be set based on this number. In some cases there will be alternative run lines set at 2.5 or more. For example, a runline can be seen as Seattle -1 1/2 +140. This means that Seattle must win by at least two or more runs for you to win your bet. The +140 represents the payout odds so if you bet $100, you will win $140. Runlines are different than totals and moneylines. Evenly matched teams may payout better odds but be difficult to handicap. Pitching is a good starting point for your game analysis. Make note of alternate runlines as those are runlines that have been flipped. This makes the favourite the underdog and vice versa. In certain scenarios, like when you feel the underdog has a good chance of covering the runline, you can increase your payout. For example: Team Moneyline Runline Alternate Runline New York Yankees -150 -1.5 (-110) +1.5 (-250) Seattle Mariners +140 +1.5 (+100) -1.5 (+220) Wagering -1.5 on Seattle you receive +220 rather than +100 on a +1.5 runline. Find a legal sports book at your location or online. Keep in mind that most sportsbook set the Runline at 1.5 so research which sportsbook gives the best payout.

TL;DR in English: Understand the runline. Strategize before placing your bet. Place your bet.

To start the last phase of the game, the draw pile must be emptied. When it is, don't shuffle. You simply stop drawing from the middle. When you can no longer draw, you rely solely on your hand. Keep playing out of it until there are no cards left in your hand. If you can't play, you still have to pick up the discard pile and put it in your hand. Remember, you have to play a card if you can. When it's your turn and you don't have a hand, play one card from your face-up cards. If you have multiple cards of the same rank, such as 2 jacks, you can play them both at the same time. If you can't play a card, you follow the same rule as before and pick up the discard pile. Once you pick up a pile, you must play all of those before playing from your cards on the table. When it's your turn and you've played all your face-up cards, pick a card that's face-down on the table. Don't look at it to choose. Simply flip it over. If it plays on the current card by being equal or higher, you can play it. If not, you must pick up the discard pile. If you pick up the discard pile, you must play those before continuing to play your face-down cards. You must play all your face-up and face-down cards to win the game. The first person to do so ends the game. The game can continue after the first person is out, but it's more fun to start another game instead.

TL;DR in English: Deplete the draw pile completely. Play until your hand runs out. Move to your face-up cards when you run out of cards in your hand. Play your face-down cards to finish the game. Play all of your cards first to win.

As part of your accounting process, you need to perform an annual stocktaking exercise to determine the value of your inventory.  This means making a list, or inventory, of your stock, noting its location and recording its value.  Tools such as barcodes or radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags help you to keep track of your stock.  You can keep track manually by having staff physically count the stock or electronically with stock control software. This is an important part of inventory management, so you will need to develop a schedule for cycle counting. Many inventory management software systems make it easy to cycle count by category or subcategory, so make sure to prepare what you plan to count each time. Each time you perform a cycle count, you will need to:  Close out any open inventory transactions. Restock all of your overstock, understock, or backstock. Account for all of the received purchase orders and inbound transfers in your system. Put away all items. Close and invoice all completed customer orders. Manual systems work best for small businesses with few stock items.  You can choose from two methods for manual inventory control.  The first is known as the two bin inventory control system.  The second system involves creating a descriptive index and using inventory control cards.  For the two bin system, determine a buying cycle for items and the amount purchased in each cycle.  For example, offices may purchase office supplies weekly or monthly.  To begin, purchase enough of the item to last two buying cycles.  Divide the items into two bundles.  When the first bundle is used up, it's time to reorder enough for one buying cycle of the item.  Materials from the second bundle are used while the materials are being reordered. For the second system, create an index that lists all of the items in inventory and a file of cards for each item.  On each card, record an item description.  When an item is purchased or reordered, someone records the amount received, the unit price and other information...

TL;DR in English: Perform regular stocktaking. Make sure to include cycle counting. Use a manual method. Use computer software.

Giving up on something you want can be frightening, but actually doing so can be a relief. Unconsciously, you've been motivated to pursue him—he's been your goal. Make a conscious decision to no longer pursue him. It may help to write this down, to tell a friend, or even to hold a small ceremony for yourself.  Consider gathering things you have that make you think of him and putting them in a box, throwing them away, or giving them away. Once your private space is cleared of reminders, consider holding a small cleansing ceremony. Burn some sage incense and walk through your room or your home.  When a wish for him comes up, don't suppress it and don't cling to it. Acknowledge how you feel, but remind yourself that you are choosing to move on. Don't push away feelings of sadness when they come. It's totally natural and healthy to be sad when you have feelings for someone and it doesn't work out. Take a week or a few weeks to grieve. Cry if you can: if your feelings are hurt, you are actually hurt, and you will do better to acknowledge it. Crying can be extremely therapeutic.  Listen to music that lets you feel your feelings. Exercise. It helps to clear your mind and you will be healthier. Write in a diary if you have one. Write a letter to him if you want. Keep it for a week or two before you give it to him, or don't give it to him at all. The point is to get your feelings out. Go on some long walks by yourself. You'll have time to think, and you'll feel better for the exercise. Know when to stop. If you're dropping the people and projects that matter to you, you're grieving too much. Consult a therapist if you can't get back into your normal life. Did he lead you on, acting like he liked you for attention? Did you pursue him relentlessly even after he let you know that it wasn't going to work? Was everyone honest and considerate, or was bad behavior involved? If you feel like you misbehaved, apologize.  If you feel like he did something wrong, and you're friends, consider letting him know that you feel hurt....

TL;DR in English: Release your hope for him. Grieve. Evaluate his behavior and your own. Remind yourself of things you didn't like about him.

Your non-padded bra should fit comfortably and correctly. Wearing a padded bra while taking the measurement can prevent an accurate measurement. If you don’t have a non-padded bra, you can purchase a cheap one at stores like Walmart and Target. Take the inch side of a measuring tape and place it firmly around your body just underneath your breasts and below your armpits. Keep your arms as close as possible to your body to get an accurate measurement of your band size. If this becomes too difficult for you to do yourself, ask a friend to help. Look in the mirror to make sure that the tape is parallel to the floor along your back and breasts. You shouldn’t have any fingers underneath the measuring tape. To get the most accurate band size, round the number up to the closest whole number and then add five to allow room for the increase in bust size as your pregnancy progresses. For instance, if the measurement you obtain is 39.5 inches (100.3 cm), rounding up to the nearest whole number is 40. Adding 5 inches (12.7 cm) would mean that your band size is 45 inches (114.3 cm).

After scooping your head in a round, upward motion and arching your back, straighten your arms, lift your torso, and look upwards. Your hips should be down towards the floor, but not touching the floor. At this point, you have pretty much completed the Hindu push-up, but you still need to return to the starting position. To return to the starting position, lower your torso and lift your hips to return to the V position; use your abs and gluteus maximus, i.e., your butt muscles, to bring your backside up into the air. As you push back to the starting position, inhale deeply through your nose, and exhale through your mouth as you reach the V position. To return to the starting position, you do not need to reverse back through the sweeping, arching motion. Simply push back into the starting position. If you are a beginner, it is recommended that you do as many push-ups or repetitions as you are able to, for example, 3 or 5 repetitions is fine. If you need to rest during the exercise, take a break in the starting V position. As you become better you can add more sets and repetitions. For example, you can do 2 sets of 3 repetitions or push-ups. If you are more advanced, you can do more sets with more repetitions. For example, 3 sets with 8 to 10 push-ups or repetitions. These push-ups should be done seamlessly in a sweeping motion without delay between each part.

TL;DR in English: Straighten your arms and look up. Return to the starting position. Repeat.

Start by washing your hair as per usual, and then use a deep conditioner to help soften your strands. Leave the conditioner on your hair for the amount of time recommended on the bottle, then rinse it out with cool water. To minimize dryness and frizz, use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. When you’ve rinsed your conditioner out, use a wide-tooth comb to brush out all the tangles, starting from the ends and working towards the roots. For even gentler detangling, use your fingers to tease out any knots and tangles. Use your hairdryer on “low” to blow out your curls, so that they are almost completely dry. Brush out your hair once more to make sure there are no knots, and then you’re ready to start your braids. Blow-drying your hair will help stretch and relax the curls, reducing frizz and making the hair easier to manage during the braiding process. Box braids use ‘braid hair’ – synthetic hair strands that are very long – to fill in the space on your scalp and give you plenty of fullness in your braids. Take each chunk of hair out of the packages individually, and hold them in the center, cutting off the elastic bands holding it together. With a grip on the center and the 2 tail ends of the hair hanging down, begin pulling the strands on 1 side of the hair. This will give the ends of your hair a more natural look, otherwise the packaged hair is blunt-cut straight across and your braids will look a bit unnatural when you’re finished.  Choose your braid hair in a color similar to your own, and get at least 2 large packages. The longer and thicker you want your braids to be, the more packages of braid hair you will need. If you want shorter braids, use fewer packages and cut the braid hair into halves or thirds. When you’re pulling the hair, gently tug at small strands rather than big portions of hair. Run your fingers through the hair when you’re finished evening out the ends to remove any knots that might have shown up. Section off your first piece of braiding hair into a strand that is about 2–3 inches...

TL;DR in English: Wash and condition your hair. Detangle your hair. Blow-dry your hair to relax and defrizz your curls. Prepare your packages of braiding hair. Get a strand of braiding-hair ready for braiding. Section off your hair on your scalp for braiding. Start your first braid. Braid your section of hair Braid additional sections of hair. Perfect each braid.

If you want to use this method, you'll need to make sure that there is enough space in between the head tension bracket hooks to thread the strap completely through. You can use this method for most bluegrass banjos, especially those with a one-piece flange, but open back banjos and beginner banjos may not have enough space and will require a different technique. Position the banjo in your lap so that the neck faces straight up and the strings face toward you. The neck of the banjo should represent the "12 o'clock" position of the instrument.

Avoiding dairy isn't as simple as no longer drinking milk. Dairy is used in many different foodstuffs to give it a better taste. As such, you'll need to read food labels. Most foods that use some form of dairy, will list “milk” as an additive. The FDA requires that milk be listed under its provision for allergies. If milk isn't listed as an ingredient, you should be ok. You'll want to look for casein and whey as well. Both of these additives are proteins found in cow's milk and make their way into a variety of foods. Whey is used in a variety of products from muscle building supplements to canned chicken broth. This is often the hardest dairy category to give up because we are conditioned to enjoy milk with so many different foods. It becomes a part of our daily activities. Here are some of the most common milk- and cream-based foods:  Milk (whole, 50/50, skim, or condensed milk) Heavy whipping cream Custards Coffee creamer Cream sauces and soups Ice cream, gelatos, and sherbets (sorbets contain no dairy products) Yogurts Some mayonnaise, mustard, and other condiments Non-dairy coffee creamer. Casein is an animal byproduct so it won't work for vegans. Check the labels of your products before you buy to ensure they don't contain butter or margarine. Butter is made by separating cream from whole milk. The cream is then churned until it thickens.  Some nutritionists claim that butters are the least harmful form of dairy to those with dairy allergies or lactose processing problems. Most people who face these issues have problems with the proteins found in milk. Since butter is 80 to 82 percent fat and contains relatively little protein, it doesn't tend to bother patients with dairy problems. For vegans, there are many margarines made without any cow byproducts. Check the label to make sure they don't contain whey, casein, or lactose. Cheeses in all forms constitute dairy. Obviously, you'll want to skip sliced cheeses on your sandwiches. Main dishes like pizza, burritos, tacos, and casseroles have cheeses in them....

TL;DR in English: Read labels on your food purchases. Avoid milk- and cream-based foods. Get rid of butter and most margarines that contain whey, casein, or lactose. Don't eat cheeses. Be wary of baked items.

Using a sharp knife, cut the crusts off of all four sides of the toast and discard.  Some recipes suggest doing this step before toasting the bread, but it will be easier to cut through the bread if you remove the crust after toasting. Using a very sharp serrated knife, cut the width of the toast in half through the untoasted center of the bread, leaving you with two very skinny slices of full-sized toast.  Be sure you are cutting through the soft center of the bread, not changing the dimensions of the bread itself. Place your hand on top of the toast as it is laying flat on the cutting board and cut in towards the center. Rotate the toast while you cut until you have two pieces of toast. Be sure to do this step while the bread is still warm. Using your knife, cut the toasts into the size and shape you would like them to be for serving.  Store-bought melba comes in squares or rectangles, but many people prefer the look of triangular toasts. Determine the size you want based on the purpose for the toast.  Small hors d'oeuvres may call for smaller toasts than toasts accompanying soup. Continue to toast and cut the bread until you have enough pieces for your event or the number of people you wish to serve.

TL;DR in English: Cut the crusts off of the toast. Cut the toast in half. Cut the toasts into smaller pieces. Repeat the toasting and cutting process.

Cantaloupes, also known as muskmelons, are available in dozens of cultivated and heirloom varieties, and grow best in hot weather, at least 2-3 months of consistent warmth. Cantaloupes love very sandy and loamy soil with good drainage, and a pH of around 6.  Varieties good for cooler climates include Hale's Best, Sarah's Choice, and Eden's Gem. Varieties noted for their flavor include Hearts of Gold, Ambrosia, Athena, and Honey Bun. Pay particular attention to the time to maturity listed on the seed package. Most of the time, you won't buy cantaloupe starts, you'll purchase seeds and start them yourself. On the seed package, pay particular attention to planting advice and information about keeping them safe, and pay particularly close attention to the length of time to maturation. If you want to save cantaloupe seeds from a particularly-delicious melon for planting, scoop them from the flesh and soak them for two days in cool water, then dry them thoroughly on a paper towel. Store them in a clean, dry jar in a cool, dark environment until you're ready to start your melons. While viable for around two years, it's usually best to plant seeds within the year. The most important part of planting and growing cantaloupe is warm soil and enough space. The vines need some room to spread out, regardless of whether you plan on trellising or letting the melons mature on the ground, so you'll need a fairly wide bed, depending on how large a crop you're going to plant. It's a common misconception and fear that cantaloupes will cross with other members of the same family, including cucumbers, other melons, squash, and pumpkins. They won't. Don't worry about planting your vining fruits in the same area of your garden plot. Most strange or bland-flavored cantaloupe is not the result of accidental cross-breeding, but the result of environmental factors or other problems. Lay compost or well-rotted manure evenly on your planting bed to create a rich feeding area for the cantaloupe. 6-8 inches of well-tilled soil is...

TL;DR in English: Select a hardy variety appropriate for your climate. Select an appropriate location for cantaloupe. Prepare the soil. Consider starting cantaloupe indoors. In your plot, create mounds for planting. Plant your cantaloupe.

A basic spray paint or latex-acrylic paint will do just fine on a decorative piece or a door. Polyurethane or epoxy paint are better suited to surfaces that will see a lot of heavy use, such as boats, bathtubs, and sinks. Polyurethane paint is ready to use. Epoxy paint must be mixed with a catalyst, just like epoxy resin. The catalyst is usually sold with the epoxy paint. Most polyurethane and epoxy paints do not require primers, but most spray paints and latex-acrylic paints do. If your paint requires a primer, make sure that you buy the same kind of primer and topcoat (i.e. spray paint primer for spray paint, oil-based primer and topcoat for oil-based paint, etc.).  Check the label on the bucket or can of paint to find out if you need a primer and topcoat. Set the topcoat aside for later. If you are using the brush-on kind, simply apply it with a foam roller or a paintbrush. If you are using the spray-on kind, apply a light, even coat. Allow the primer to dry to the touch before applying a second coat. If your primer is not coming out evenly, apply it in short bursts rather than a single, sweeping, side-to-side motion. How long this takes depends on the product that you used. Some primers cure within a few hours while others take much longer. Just because the primer feels dry, that does not mean that it is cured and ready to be painted. Make sure to check the label. If you apply the paint before the primer finishes curing, the final surface may be tacky. If you are working with epoxy paint, you will need to mix the 2 parts together (epoxy and catalyst) first; other types of paint do not require any preparation. Apply the paint systematically, working from the right to the left (or left-to-right if you are left-handed), top-to-bottom. For more specific instructions:  Brush-on paint: pour the paint onto a tray, then apply it with a foam roller first. Smooth it out with a fine-bristled paintbrush.  Spray paint: apply the paint in short bursts, rather than one continuous, side-to-side motion.  How much you use...

TL;DR in English: Purchase the right type of paint for your surface. Purchase the right type of primer and topcoat, if needed. Coat the surface with 1 to 2 coats of primer.

This will make it easier to build. After you attach all of the posts and insert the ladder into the hole, you will need to measure the top and bottom of the ladder to make sure that they are evenly spaced. Then cement the ladder. Saw the board to 45-46” (1.1-1.2 m) so that it’s just the right length to bridge the gap between the vertical supports and complete the frame, which is 42" (1 m) wide. Line up the ends of the 2x6 with the outer edges of the posts and nail or screw it down at both ends. This piece will serve as the upper portion of the frame.  You'll need to stand on a ladder or step stool while affixing the top piece and individual rungs. Buying precut lumber will save you some time, if you don’t mind paying a little extra. That way, all you’ll have to do is assemble the individual pieces once you get them home. Your starting point on the Salmon Ladder will be decided primarily by your unique stature. You want it to be low enough to climb safely and comfortably, but not so low that you’re forced to stoop or crouch to get in position. Once you’ve decided on the optimal placement for the first set of rungs, space every next set 12" (30 cm) apart.  A good way to determine where to put the lowest rungs is to reach up along the frame with one hand (without stretching too far) and draw a line on the side of the post. Measure and mark each set separately and use a flat board or straight edge to make sure they’re evenly aligned. 12” (30 cm) rung spacing is the official standard used for the American Ninja Warrior course, but yours can be more or less as you see fit.  For beginners, 6" (15 cm) rung spacing can be helpful for learning how to do the Salmon Ladder. Starting on one end of the 2x4, draw a line at a 30-35 degree angle every 12” (30 cm). Saw the board along these lines to fashion the individual rungs for the ladder. Keep in mind that you’ll need an even number of rungs, one for each side.  If you are spacing your rungs at 6" (15 cm), then you will need to draw your lines every 6" (15 cm) instead of...

Take a cutting from an herb plant between spring and fall, when the plants are healthy and growing steadily. Avoid cuttings on plants that are currently flowering. Focus on cuttings from new growth, rather than old growth. Avoid cuttings from plants that have been overly fertilized. Water herb plants thoroughly at least 12 hours before taking cuttings.

Most recent smartphones can take a picture so that you can see what’s being taken in the screen.  You can also try propping your phone or camera against something and using the timer feature to take your picture. Even a selfie stick can help you take a more flattering picture. If you must take a picture in front of a mirror, hold the phone/camera at shoulder height and tilt it upwards. If you zoom in enough, this will keep the phone/camera out of the picture. Your face against a white background can seem a little boring. Try taking your picture in front of natural scenery, your work environment, or even a colored background. Don’t make the background too busy, however, If your profile picture is of you at a concert, your face might be lost in the crowd. You want to find a balance between a picture that is too dark and one that is too bright. It’s hard to take a good picture at night, and daylight between 11 pm and 1 pm is typically too harsh for good pictures. Try to take your profile picture in the morning or around sunset.  Natural light is thought to be best for pictures. You can take a good profile picture with indoor light, however. Just position yourself so that the light source is not shining directly on you. If you have to use flash, try to get someone to take the picture of you so that the flash won’t reflect too strongly off of your body.

TL;DR in English: Don’t take the picture in front of a mirror. Include some attractive scenery. Take the picture in good lighting.

While they might want to wear their favorite animal onesie day in and day out, you will have to pick out some nice clothes for your kids. For girls, dresses in bright colors or floral patterns are a great option. Boys can wear corduroys or khakis and a collared shirt. Other clothing ideas include:  For girls: A dress and sweater; a skirt and blouse; some khakis, a blouse, and a sweater. For boys: Khakis and a button up shirt; corduroys and a sweater; slacks and a polo shirt. While it’s important to keep the dress code in mind, you also don’t want fidgeting children making a ruckus at the baptism. When picking out their outfits, like the ones listed in the previous step, make sure that the materials are comfortable and loose fitting. If possible, let your kids pick out which fancy clothes they want to wear--they will be happier if they’ve picked out what they want to wear. You can skip the tights for your little girls--this is a semi-formal event and there is no need to squish them into tights unless specifically asked to do so by the church or family that is having the baptism. Like tights, fancy, uncomfortable kids shoes are probably not necessary. However, it is your call. If you do decide to have your kids wear dress shoes, make sure to bring comfortable shoes that they can change into for the reception.

TL;DR in English: Dress your kids up in church-appropriate clothing. Think about comfort. Pick out comfortable shoes.

Many herbs slow down growth when temperatures begin to drop, so cuttings taken during cooler weather may not root. The cutting is not likely to root strongly while flowering because the plant's energy is focused on the flowers, not the root. If you do take a cutting from an herb that is flowering, remove the flowers from the cutting before propagating. The new growth on most herbs is lighter in color and higher up on the plant. The new growth is most likely to root because the stems aren't as hard. If a plant has been heavily fertilized to stimulate growth, it is unlikely a cutting will take root. Rather, take cuttings from healthy plants that are growing steadily without the need for excessive fertilizer. Well saturated plants are likely to produce healthy cuttings.

TL;DR in English:


Study other character designs for inspiration. Write a list of interests and character traits you want to include. Make a list of features that you can exaggerate for your character. Choose distinctive details for your character to make it unique. Select colors that communicate the character’s personality. Add accessories to your character to emphasize their traits.

After you have selected the appropriate attachment for the job, attach the piece to your deburring tool. You may need to consult your user’s manual to determine how to attach the piece. Make sure that the attachment is locked securely in place before you switch it on. While some larger objects might stay put on their own, it will be difficult (and unsafe) to deburr a smaller item that is not secured in place. For example, a piece of furniture may not need to be secured, but a piece of wood or a pipe will need to be secured in place. Try using a vice to secure smaller items and prevent them from moving around as you deburr them. Next, pick up your deburring tool and hold it firmly by the handle. Then, switch on your deburring tool when you are ready to use it. You may want to start out by using the lowest setting and then increase the speed if necessary. Hold the tool so that it is right up against the edge you wish to deburr. For example, if you are deburring the edge of a piece of wood, then place the tool right up against the edge. You do not need to press hard to deburr the item, just ensure that the tool makes contact with the edge of the object you are deburring. To ensure that the edge is completely deburred, it may be necessary to go over it with the deburring tool two or three times. Start at one end and move all the way to the end, or select a starting point if you are deburring a circular item.  If you are deburring a pipe or other circular area, then you may just have to let the deburring tool rotate two or three times. If you are deburring an edge, then you will need to drag the tool back and forth across the area two or three times. After you have finished deburring the item, remove the tool and turn it off. Then, check the edges of the area you just deburred to ensure that you got all of the larger burrs.  If there are still some burrs left, then you can always go over it again. You can also sand the edges of the area you just deburred to ensure that it is nice and smooth. Use a fine grit...

TL;DR in English: Secure your attachment. Make sure that the object you are deburring is locked in place. Turn on the deburring tool. Place the deburring tool against the edge. Go over the area two or three times. Check the edges to ensure all burrs have been removed.

Frankincense has long been used as part of the practice of aromatherapy, using natural fragrances to counteract a wide range of afflictions. The next time you’re feeling depressed or overwhelmed, dab a little frankincense oil on your wrists or burn it in a scent diffuser. The calming effects of the dry, earthy, spicy aroma will help you instantly feel more at ease.  Fill the air with frankincense while you work, study or meditate. Essential oils like frankincense just smell good, even if you’re not a believer in holistic treatments. Squeeze a few drops into a steaming bath and breathe in the rich vapors. As you soak, you’ll feel the tension in your muscles fading and your worries slipping away. Frankincense also works wonders as a natural moisturizer, so your skin will feel soft and smooth long after you climb out of the tub.  If you prefer a hot shower, try infusing a washcloth or loofah with frankincense oil before you lather up. Enhancing a bath will save you the trouble of applying a moisturizer as a separate step. Forget about addictive sleep aids and medications that leave you feeling groggy. A less disruptive alternative is to burn some frankincense oil in a vaporizer on your bedside table as you drift off. You’re certain to experience a full night of restorative sleep as the pleasant fragrance gently comforts and banishes restlessness. The relaxing floral notes of frankincense can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Combine frankincense oil with a splash of peppermint, sage or juniper essence for your next couples or self-massage session. Not only will it glide over your skin like velvet, it can actually promote muscular relaxation and help heal damaged tissue at a deeper level. After a few rubdowns, you’ll never need to book an appointment at the spa again.  Work frankincense oil into sore, aching muscles and joints rather than relying on oral pain relievers. Rub a drop of oil into your temples or between your palms and breathe slowly and deeply when you begin to feel stressed out.

TL;DR in English: Let the scent relax and comfort you. Add it to a bath. Use it to get to sleep. Try it as a massage oil.

Research your cartoon character design by studying other characters that you admire or animation styles that you enjoy. Take note of defining features, the line quality, the color schemes, and any other artistic styles that are used to bring the character to life so you can include them in your own design.  Read comic books that tell stories with the characters so you can see how they change with different emotions, angles, and actions. Find a cartoon artist whose style you like and look at their character designs to inspire your own work. Brainstorm character design ideas by jotting down a list of hobbies, interests, and personality traits that you want your character to reflect. Write them out on a piece of paper and narrow them down to the key traits that you want to include in your cartoon character.  Your cartoon character’s personality should help guide the way they look. For example, if your character plays football and loves to tell jokes, then they would look different than a character that loves to read poetry and listen to classical music. Choose key details to embellish that will highlight the personality traits of your character. As you’re coming up with your character, think about features that can really bring out their personality without having to say it out loud.  Cartoon characters are meant to be larger than life, with details and traits that are exaggerated and dramatic. For instance, if your character is bookish and shy, then maybe their eyes are sunken and are always looking down. Exaggerated details can illustrate your character’s traits without saying them out loud. For example, a broad chest and strong jaw can make your character seem strong and brave without having to explicitly state it. Use specific features and details to set your cartoon characters apart from others and to bring out their personality. You can also choose to use specific tropes or features to define your cartoon style, such as the Simpson’s yellow skin, that will allow people to immediately recognize your...

TL;DR in English:


Be patient. Give yourself some artistic liberties. Delve deep.

Gross profit is your total revenue earned from your goods or services, minus the cost of producing or providing those goods or services (COGS). This calculation does not include expenses like payroll, rent, or utilities; it only considers the cost directly related to creating those goods and services. Gross profit margin is the gross profit divided by revenues.  Net profit takes all business expenditures into account and is calculated as gross profit minus administrative expenses and other relevant expenses. This includes regular operational costs (payroll, rent, etc.) and one-time costs (taxes, contractor invoices, etc.). You must also include any additional earnings, such as investment income.  Net profit provides a more complete and detailed rendering of the business health and is generally what is used to manage the business. The steps below detail how to find this number. Net profit is also known as "the bottom line." To calculate your business's profit margin, choose the period of time you want to analyze. Generally, people use either months, quarters, or years to calculate their profit margins. Consider why you want to calculate your margins. If you are applying for loans or looking to attract investors, these people will want to know more than just how your business did over a single month. However, if you're comparing your profit margin between different months for your own purposes, it's fine to use shorter periods of time. Revenue is everything the business brings in through sale of goods, services, or earnings of interest.  If your business only sells goods, such a retail shop or restaurant, your total revenue is all the sales you had during the period you've chosen to analyze minus any returns or discounts. If you don't already have this figure on hand, multiply the total number of items you sold by the price of each of those items and then adjust for returns and discounts. Similarly, if your business provides services, such as lawn mowing, your total revenue is all of the amounts you collected...

TL;DR in English: Know the difference between gross profit, gross profit margin, and net profit. Determine your calculation period. Calculate the total revenue generated by your business during the calculation period. Subtract all your expenses to calculate your net income. Divide your net income by the total revenue you already calculated.

Writing lyrics can be tough, but, if you've gotten this far, you're doing well. Kurt wasn't a "I'm going to start at point A, then go to point B, and end with point C," kind of writer, he was a "here's a bunch of pieces of songs that I'm going to throw together," kind of writer. Kurt's lyrics were also often filled with metaphors and confusing. Sometimes, he would write a song that was direct (i.e. "Polly," "Rape Me."), but only occasionally.

Gain confidence in who you are. Life will be much easier when you have the courage to appreciate your self-worth. This doesn't mean becoming self-absorbed. It means taking care of yourself and respecting that you are a precious being like everyone else.   Look for things you like about yourself. Whether you are looking in the mirror or just thinking about your personality, focus on the positive. Be kind to yourself. Do something you enjoy or eat a special meal once in awhile. Be proud of your personality and preferences. From nerd to jock, from athletic to bookworm, you are unique and it's important to honor the expression that fits you rather than squeezing yourself into someone else's expectations. Your main responsibility as a teen is probably schoolwork. While there are many social and emotional distractions, remember that your education is meant to help you in the future. Develop good study habits. Long hours of study don't necessarily show results unless you're studying wisely. Study in a place where you will be most productive and with minimal distractions. Use flashcards, memory games, or review sheets to reinforce new information. Remember to take breaks and stay positive! Keep your mind and body active by eating healthy foods every day. Your body is still growing, and you need to nourish it along the way. A balanced diet includes a large number of vegetables, fruits, proteins, and grains. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and sweets. Remember to eat your three meals per day, especially breakfast.   Do not overeat. Overeating, especially eating junk foods, can cause health problems in the future. If you have a problem with overeating or weight gain, seek help from a doctor or nutritionist.

Generally, if a work has multiple authors you must list all of their names in the citation entry on your reference list. In APA style, you list the last name followed by a comma, then the author's first initial and middle initial.  For instance, an author named Francis Leanne Montgomery would be listed as "Montgomery, F. L." If the author's middle name or initial is not provided, just use their first initial. For example, "Powell, J." Separate names of authors with commas. Check to make sure you have a comma after each last name and after each set of initials. For example: "Sunshine, S. J., Summers, P. T., & Autumnwood, S." When you have multiple authors, the order of their names typically is negotiated by the authors themselves. Keep the order intact as chosen by the authors. Alphabetize entries in your reference list by the last name of the first author listed. In your reference list, use an ampersand (&) rather than spelling out the word and to indicate the end of your list. If everyone listed is an editor, follow the last name with a comma and the abbreviation "eds." The ampersand is always preceded by a comma. For example: "Sunshine, S. J., & Davis, T." The year the work was published follows immediately after your list of names in parentheses. Then, add a period outside the closing parenthesis.  For example: "Sunshine, S. J., Summers, P. T., & Autumnwood, S. (2010)." There is no comma between the last author's initial and the opening parenthesis. After the date, your citation next must let your readers know the complete title of the work. Capitalize the title just as you would a sentence. This means often only the first word is capitalized.  If the work also has a subtitle, include it after a colon. You'll also capitalize the first word of the subtitle.  The title may be in italics, depending on the type of work you're citing. This stays the same regardless of the number of authors. For example, a book title would be italicized, but an article in a scholarly journal would not be italicized. The rest of...

TL;DR in English: List all authors by last name and first and middle initials. Order the authors' names as they appear on the title page. Include an ampersand before the last author's name. Provide the year of publication in parentheses. Include the complete title of the work. Finish by noting the publication information.

If the base of the plant has glossy, green, firm leaves, then it is healthy enough for pruning. However, if the leaves are yellow, brown, dry, or limp, then the plant is not healthy enough for pruning. Give the plant a chance to get healthy before you prune it.Make sure that you wait until all of the flowers have shriveled or fallen off before trimming to encourage new flowers to grow. The speed at which your orchid will flower again will depend on its overall health, climate, and care. However, in general you can expect new flowers to bloom about 8 to 12 weeks after you prune your orchid.If no flowers bloom within 8 to 12 weeks, try lowering the ambient temperature where your orchid is located by 5 °F (−15 °C). This may help to stimulate new growth.

Once you have friends, you should take steps to maintain your friendships. Gaining good friends is difficult and you do not want to have to start at square one if you start losing friends over time. You should always make an effort to spend quality time with your friends, doing things you both enjoy. This way, you and your friends have fun and you also build memories and share experiences together.  For example, if you know your friend is a big fan of a certain comic book character, you may get her a pass to see the creator of the character at next year’s Comic-Con. Or, you may treat your friend to a night out at their favorite restaurant. Doing nice things for your friends and making your time together meaningful will show them how much you value their friendship. Don't get into the habit of waiting to be invited to do things with your friends. Invite your friends to do something fun. Sometimes people become complacent and wait around for an invitation when instead they should take the initiative to plan and invite their friends to something. Try asking your friend something like, "Are you around on Friday night? Do you want to see a movie or go to the football game?" Or you can ask, "Do you want to get together sometime this weekend? I would love to see you!" You can also be a good friend by supporting and cheering on your friends when they need you. You should make an effort to keep up with what your friends are interested in and their goals. Supporting your friend’s goals and aspirations will show them that you can be there for them and are on their side. You may have friends who play sports and attend their games to show your support. Or you may have friends who do the performing arts and attend their performances so they have a familiar, friendly face in the crowd. A good friend will also be honest. You should try to be okay with constructive criticism and feedback from your friends, especially if they have your best interests at heart. You should be willing, to be honest with your friends and accept...

Asthma is a lifelong condition, and your doctor can help control your symptoms so you can breathe easily. Talk to them about your symptoms, as well as the treatments you’re using. Let them know if your symptoms worsen so they can offer you better treatment options. Don’t stop taking your medication unless your doctor tells you it’s okay. Never take more medication than your doctor directs. Only use herbal remedies if your doctor says it’s safe.

When you're growing a plant from a seed, it can help to germinate the seed first, because this will increase the chances of it taking root in the ground.  Place the seeds in a small bowl and fill it with warm water. Let the seeds sit in the water for 24 hours.  After 24 hours, drain the water. On each seed, use your nail to gently pick away a small portion of the seed covering. Note that wisteria should be planted outdoors in the spring or fall, so make sure you start the germination process about six weeks before you want to transplant it outside. Fill a seed starter most of the way with potting soil and place one or two wisteria seeds on top of the soil in each pod. Make sure the seeds are on their sides. Cover them with one-quarter inch of potting soil. Place the seed trays in a warm, bright room. Add some water to the soil, and keep it moist for the duration of the sprouting time. Keep the seeds warm and moist while they germinate, and give them lots of natural light. The seeds should sprout within 10 to 30 days. Before you can transplant the sprouts, make sure they are at least four to five inches tall, and have a couple leaves on each stalk.

TL;DR in English: Germinate the seeds. Plant the seeds in a seed starter. Allow the seeds to sprout.

While you don't want to concentrate on the negative in a diet, it is important to know the boundaries as you adapt to a new set of habits.  Stay away from anything that contains yeast, like most breads, processed foods, and baked goods. Sugar in any form (this included sucrose, glucose and fructose) is also a danger as yeast feeds and grows on sugar. Refined grains, malted products, and fermented products (vinegar, soy, ginger, beer and wine), including all alcohol, either contain yeast or quick-acting carbohydrates which feed the growth of yeast. Dairy products should be avoided, as with most cheese. The primary exception in this category is yogurt with living cultures. Any mushroom or fungus is out. It is recommended that you avoid stimulants like coffee, chocolate, black tea and so forth, as they release stored sugar into the body and so provide a breeding ground for yeast. The same applies for artificial sweeteners and spicy foods. Much easier than creating a list of foods you can't eat, is to create a list of foods that you can eat and stick to those. Find ways to make these foods interesting and broaden your horizons if any of these foods are ones you have yet to try. Essentially you are aiming for a diet of fresh greens and fresh proteins, with limited fresh fruits and dairy (as they are higher in sugars), and complex grains. But get to know the details so that you can make foods you enjoy! Things you can eat include:  Fresh meat, chicken and fish. Eggs. Garbanzo beans and lentils. Avocado. Walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, and coconut. Brown rice (no white rice) and rice cakes. All vegetables, fresh or frozen, including onions and garlic. Fruit that is not bruised (but no melons or grapes). Limited milk (125ml per day) or soya / rice milk. Plain yoghurt with active cultures. Low fat cottage cheese with no sugar. Homemade popcorn. Plain chips with no MSG. Herbal teas. These are foods allowed weekly (only one item of each), that won't throw off your balance entirely in one serving, but will...

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with the foods that are off-limits. Familiarize yourself with the foods that you can eat. Familiarize yourself with treats. Continue this diet for four to six weeks. Slowly add foods back into your diet over a period of a few weeks.

If your divorce is contested or communication breaks down during the divorce process, you can let the court craft the terms of the buy-out and force your ex-spouse to comply with documentation, deed, and asset transfer requirements.  It is better to make every effort to work it out with your spouse, even if you have to split the cost and sit down with an attorney to craft an equity buy-out agreement. The court's decision will not take personal feelings, market conditions, and future plans into account. The result may be a blunt force order with end results that don't work well for either party. If refinancing with a cash payment is the best option, you will need to time the new mortgage correctly. If you live in a community property state, refinancing can be complicated unless you wait until the divorce is final. If you must refinance immediately, consult a real estate attorney about the ramifications of community property laws on the transaction. Unless handled correctly, the refinanced loan could be considered a joint debt, defeating the purpose of the equity split. Both names remain on the deed and the loan, but the spouse who is staying in the house takes over the payments and receives credit for the additional equity that accrues during the co-ownership. Assuming you have the income and credit needed to refinance, you will have several different loan options to consider.   A conventional rate/term refinance trades the old mortgage for a new one. The balance of the old mortgage becomes the new loan amount. The problem with this type of loan is that you will have to come up with the cash to pay your spouse for his share of the equity.   A cash-out refinance allows you to finance a combination of the outstanding balance and the equity, receiving a cash payment. This type of loan requires a favorable loan-to-value ratio and solid credit.  There may be extra fees or a higher interest rate for this type of loan. If your ex-spouse is comfortable with his name remaining on the existing mortgage, you can take a...

Before attempting any double-spins or pirouettes of any kind, it's important to get loosened up to avoid injury. Warm up your neck, shoulders, arms, back, sides, and legs before dancing with a long stretching routine. A nimble, loose neck will aid your equilibrium and balance when spotting and spinning. A loose torso will help you stay grounded and centered.  Warmed up legs will provide the necessary support you need and reduce the possibility of cramping. The most important three body parts for a good turn are your neck, shoulders, and legs. This side of your body will be referred to as your "spin" foot, and the corresponding leg, arm, and side will also be referred to as the "spin" side. The other side of your body will be referred to as your "lift" side. Begin standing with your spin foot in front of your lift foot, in a wide, balanced position, with most of your weight on your spin foot.  Place your spin arm at chest-height in front of you, with relaxed, bent elbow, so your spin forearm is parallel with your stomach. Your lift arm should be extended directly out from your side, in line with your torso, not too far back or too far forward. The lift arm will provide the majority of your spinning power by swinging it in front of your body. This is your spot point. Keep your eyes fixed on this spot throughout the entire motion.  Practice spotting by stepping slowly in a circular motion in one spot. Keep your eyes on one spot at eye level, on the wall or landscape directly in front of you. Keep your eyes there until your turning motion forces you to spin your head. If your head is level, the spotting motion will keep you from becoming overly dizzy or losing balance.  Even with proper spotting, a slight dizzy feeling can be expected during a double spin. Minimize this by keeping your neck and shoulders loose, and turning your head in a full circle as quickly as possible. The faster your body spins, the easier it is to spot properly.

TL;DR in English: Warm up. Choose which foot you will be spinning on. Place your feet and hands properly. Find a spot directly in front of you at eye level.

Coping with this condition can be very difficult. It is useful to gain a clear understanding of what is going on in your body. This will help you understand how to deal with the symptoms. Endometriosis commonly affects women in their 30s and 40s, and the causes are not yet known.  Common symptoms include painful menstrual cramps, consistent pain in the low back, and pain or discomfort during and after sex. Once you have been diagnosed, work with your doctor to come up with a treatment plan. Make sure to candidly discuss your lifestyle and whether or not you plan to become pregnant in the future. Dealing with a chronic illness is very difficult. Make sure that you surround yourself with friends and family who are kind and supportive. You will likely need someone to talk to during the toughest days, so let your best friend know that she is on speed dial. It can often be helpful to discuss your condition with others who suffer from endometriosis. Look for a local support group. Your doctor should be able to provide you with some suggestions. . Your body and mind can benefit from frequent breaks. Regulating your stress levels can improve your overall physical and mental health. Everyone has different calming methods that work for them, so try several relaxation techniques to find one that is most effective.   Focus on your breath. Deep, calming breaths can be very helpful in lowering your heart rate and helping you to feel calm. You can also take a relaxing bath or listen to some feel good music. Your illness is private and you should not feel obligated to discuss it if doing so makes you feel uncomfortable. However, endometriosis symptoms may interfere with your daily life, so it is a good idea to let your closest friends and family know what you are dealing with. Remember, you also need their support, so you will want to consider sharing your diagnosis with those you trust.

If you have a friend who recently went platinum or underwent another dramatic hair color change, ask for the name of her hair stylist. You can also ask friends and family for recommendations on hair salons and stylists who they think might be able to make you a platinum blonde without too much damage.  You can also check out reviews of salons online to narrow your choices down. Look for salons that have high ratings from their customers. If you get some recommendations, check out the stylists Instagram or other social media feeds where they post photos of their work. If your regular stylist has experience with platinum blonde coloring, then you might simply go for a consultation with them. However, if you do not currently have a stylist or your stylist has expressed discomfort with taking you to this color, then call around to find someone who has experience turning people into platinum blondes. Try saying something like, “I want to go platinum blonde without too much damage to my hair, and my current hair color is ____. Do any of your stylists have experience with this type of situation?” After you find someone who has experience, you can make a consultation appointment. Sometimes you can just drop into the salon and see the stylist between clients, but it is best to ask first.  Try saying something like, “I would like to stop in and talk with the stylist before I make an appointment. Do I need to make a consultation appointment, or can I just stop by when the stylist is working?” Make sure to bring picture with you to your consultation so you can show the stylist what you want your hair to look like. Before you decide to make your first hair appointment with a stylist, it is a good idea to ask questions. This will help you to get a sense of how much experience the stylist has and how comfortable you feel trusting your hair to them.  How many times have you taken someone from a shade similar to mine to a platinum blonde shade? What process did you use to get the desired color without causing too much damage?...

You can find sample questions by visiting the official IELTS website: https://www.ielts.org/en-us/about-the-test/sample-test-questions. There are also lots of downloadable practice exams online. These exams and questions will familiarize you with the format of the exam. Getting comfortable with the types of recordings and questions you’ll face is key to improving your score. The British Council, for example, has a practice exam available here: https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/prepare-test/free-sample-tests/listening-sample-test-1/listening-section-1. If you feel more comfortable studying in a structured, classroom environment, a test preparation course may be right for you. Be aware that if you choose in-person instruction, these classes can get pricey. You may need to spend some time saving up or budgeting if you feel you need a class to pass the IELTS exam. For example, an official IELTS test preparation course administered by an English Language Center (ELC) in Boston or Los Angeles costs $445 USD per week, and it last 4-7 weeks. If you choose a less accelerated program (24-47 weeks, for example), instruction costs $385 USD per week. Online courses will generally be less expensive (and may sometimes be available for free!) than classroom instruction. However, you’ll receive less one-on-one interaction with your instructor(s) and fellow classmates. Still, this is a good option if you feel like a course will help you develop a structured study plan.  The British Council provides access to a free online preparation seminar. Go online to find enrollment dates for this class.  You’ll be able to find 8-week online prep courses for about $100 USD. Especially if you’re not enrolled in a class, it’s a good idea to get a test prep booklet. The CD contains samples of the Listening exam. The booklet also provides examples of examiner comments on responses. Reading these comments will help you understand what the test-givers are looking for in a correct answer. Choose a quiet spot where you know you won’t be...

TL;DR in English: Go online to look for sample test questions and exams. Enroll in an in-person prep course. Choose an online prep course if you’re on a budget. Purchase official IELTS audio CDs and practice tests. Simulate the test environment during practice tests.

When you and your family visit Mecca for Umrah, the Saudi government requires that you do not make private travel plans to enter the country, but secure your visa through a travel agent. Licensed Umrah travel agencies will have an agreement with the Saudi government to distribute visa.  For example, if you live in the United States, you can travel through the Dawn Travels travel agency. Fill out or download their Umrah Visa Application at: http://www.dawntravels.com/download-umrah-visa-application.htm. If you live in the UK, you can find a list of approved travel agencies through the Saudi Embassy website at: https://saudiembassyuk.co.uk/. If you’re traveling internationally, you need to have a passport. You may need to renew your passport to ensure it will be valid 6 months after the travel date. So, if you’re traveling for Umrah at the beginning of March, your passport must be valid through early September. As part of your Umrah visa application, you must submit a full-size color passport photo with a white background. For the Umrah visa application, you must be directly facing the camera. A picture taken from the side, or even from a slight angle, may be rejected. If your existing passport photo fits these criteria, you may not need to take a new photo. Contact the organization through which you obtained your passport (e.g. the Post Office) and ask how to obtain a large, printed copy of the photo. Before you apply for your Umrah visa, you need to purchase your airline tickets. The tickets must be nonrefundable and the purchases should be confirmed. Be sure that the date of departure from Saudi Arabia is within 2 weeks of the date of your arrival. You will need to show your travel itinerary when you submit the Umrah application. This demonstrates to the Saudi government that you will not be in the country for longer than 2 weeks.

TL;DR in English: Contact a licensed Umrah travel agent. Obtain a passport that will be valid for 6 months past the travel date. Take a color passport photo that clearly shows your face. Obtain proof of nonrefundable air travel tickets.

Having your own job builds positive character and will help you mature. Even if parents give you money, earning your own paycheck puts you on a path to success by giving you the opportunity to learn time management, job responsibility, leadership skills, team work, and life skills in the real world. Also, earning your own paycheck puts money in your pockets, and what you do with your earnings is up to you. Allowances, gifts, and paychecks will be your sources of income as a teenager. Learning to manage money starts with tracking how you spend that income. Create a money diary where you write down all of your spending for a given time period, either weekly, monthly, or yearly. Then, evaluate what you spend by deciding what is needed (such as gas, car insurance, phone bill) and what is entertainment (such as movie tickets, personal items, going out). Creating this diary will help you visualize where your money goes and can set you on the track to create a budget and savings. Once you earn money, it is very tempting to use it immediately. And as a teenager, it is easy to neglect saving money. In order to be more successful, learn that money can be saved for more-important spending opportunities. To help you save, open up a bank account. Banks can give many opportunities to teenagers. Get advice and research first before opening any accounts. Once you have one, figure out a monthly budget that will help you put aside money. When you start off, more than likely a co-signer or parent will have access to your account activity. Use this as a learning opportunity and ask for them to keep you in check of what you spend. Buying is almost always easier than saving. Small purchases can take a toll on your savings, and more often than not, those purchases could have been avoided. These impulse purchases are difficult for both teenagers and adults, so controlling these impulses at a young age helps ensure better money management throughout your life. Put yourself to the test and wait to buy items. Oftentimes, giving...

One of the unique parts of Nicki Minaj's rap style is her squeaky, giggling, cutesy voice that she goes into to emphasize certain parts of some songs. Her whole persona goes back and forth between cutesy and aggressive, and this voice is an important part of that.  Rap in your normal voice, then pinch your throat and pull your tongue back to rap in the back of your throat, moving your mouth up and down like a ventriloquist dummy. Nicki does this sometimes to get that kind of sound. She also does a kind of Sorority Girl vocal fry in some of her songs for comic effect. For good examples of this voice, check out her earliest mixtape songs like "Itty Bitty Piggy." Just like her mentor Lil Wayne will slip into a variety of voices, Nicki's got a bunch at her disposal, including a sudden and funny "Cookie Monster" growl. Sometimes, when performing live, Nicki will just start going into nonsense words, chanting gibberish that sounds pretty awesome on beat. Check out some live clips of her performing "Starships" on the Today Show for a good example of this voice style. Nicki's got a big voice, so don't try to rap like Nicki if you're going to go to the mic meekly. Work on your roar and rap with lots of confidence in your voice and in your rhymes. Dropping offbeat or flubbing a word is less important than being loud and being aggressive on the mic. When you're rapping, loudly alternate between your two voices, suddenly. One of the reasons Nicki does that growly funny Cookie Monster voice is to show just how much she doesn't care about your opinion, but she's going to throw it in your face anyway. One vocal styling that Nicki Minaj includes in many of her raps in a hard, beat-driven emphasis on the consonants of the words in the songs, like she's trying to nail the words into the ground. It's a hard-stuttering beat that she puts on tracks like "I Don't Give A" that make her rhymes stand out. Check out these songs for good examples of her stresses:  "Blazin'" "Make Me Proud" w/ Drake "Up All Night" w/ Drake "Beam Me Up...

TL;DR in English: Find your giggling high voice. Find your low growly voice. Be loud. Stress the consonants. Don't be afraid to go offbeat. Be confident Use lots of similes and puns.

If you have other clothes in your laundry load, pay attention to their washing requirements. Some clothes can be damaged by using hot water. Depending on how high you value your denim, you might consider letting the pros take care of it. Drop them off to your local dry cleaner and explain what happened. It'll probably take them a day or two, depending on how busy they are.

Just like most other laboratory tests, the normal ranges might be different depending on which lab your doctor uses. Sit down with your doctor when your results become available so you can talk through them together. In general, expect normal ranges to be:  Less than 15 mm/hr (millimeters per hour) for men under 50. Less than 20 mm/hr for men over 50. Less than 20 mm/hr for women under 50. Less than 30 mm/hr for women over 50. 0-2 mm/hr for newborns. 3-13 mm/hr for newborns to puberty. There are a number of conditions that could cause your ESR rate to be above normal, including pregnancy, anemia, thyroid or kidney disease, or cancers such as lymphoma or multiple myeloma. A very high ESR level might indicate lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or a severe infection located somewhere in your body.  A very high level might also be a sign of rare autoimmune disorders like allergic vasculitis, giant cell arteritis, hyperfibrinogenemia, macroglobulinemia, necrotizing vasculitis, or polymyalgia rheumatica. An infection associated with a very high ESR level might be located in your bones, heart, on your skin, or throughout your body. It could also be tuberculosis or rheumatic fever. Since an elevated or even high ESR rate could mean so many different things, your doctor will almost certainly perform other tests to understand what’s going on in your body. While you wait for your doctor to determine which tests you need, breathe and try not to panic. Discuss your fears with your doctor, family, and friends so you can feel supported through this process. An ESR test can’t provide a diagnosis on its own. Unfortunately, rheumatoid arthritis can’t be completely cured. However, it is possible to manage the symptoms and put them into remission. Your doctor will likely prescribe a combination of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, and steroids. Physical or occupational therapy can help you learn exercises to keep your joints moving and flexible. They can also...

This is the highest quality oil you can buy. Because this version of olive oil is unrefined (not treated with chemicals or altered by temperature), it retains more of the true olive taste.  Extra-virgin olive oil also has a lower level of oleic acid (an unsaturated fatty acid), and contains more natural vitamins and minerals found in olive oil, like vitamin E and K.  While you can use this oil in cooking/frying/grilling, keep in mind that it has a lower smoke point. EVOO is great for dips, dressings, and dishes that will not be cooked. This version of olive oil may be simply labeled as olive oil or pure olive oil. This oil is a blend of virgin olive oil and refined olive oil (heat and/or chemicals are used to extract oil and flaws from the olive for a more commercial taste).  This version of olive oil is an all-purpose cooking oil and is great for frying vegetables or meats. Use this oil to sauté instead of EVOO to avoid a smoke filled kitchen. In comparison to EVOO, pure olive oil is lighter in color, more neutral in flavor, and has more oleic acid (3-4%). It is lower quality oil. Contrary to popular belief, the “light” does not refer to lower calories. Instead, it is used to describe the oil's lightness in flavor and taste. Light olive oil also has a higher smoke point. Because light olive oil has a higher smoke point, it is great for baking, sautéing, grilling, and frying.

TL;DR in English: Buy extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO). Buy pure or “regular” olive oil. Buy light olive oil.

. Using graph paper or a graphing calculator, draw the graph of the function. Choose several numerical values for x{\displaystyle x} and insert them into the function to calculate the resulting y{\displaystyle y} value. Plot these points on the graph and, after you have plotted several points, connect them to see the graph of the function. When plotting points, check positive and corresponding negative values for x{\displaystyle x}. For example, if working with the function f(x)=2x2+1{\displaystyle f(x)=2x^{2}+1}, plot the following values:   f(1)=2(1)2+1=2+1=3{\displaystyle f(1)=2(1)^{2}+1=2+1=3}. This gives the point (1,3){\displaystyle (1,3)}.  f(2)=2(2)2+1=2(4)+1=8+1=9{\displaystyle f(2)=2(2)^{2}+1=2(4)+1=8+1=9}. This gives the point (2,9){\displaystyle (2,9)}.  f(−1)=2(−1)2+1=2+1=3{\displaystyle f(-1)=2(-1)^{2}+1=2+1=3}. This gives the point (−1,3){\displaystyle (-1,3)}.  f(−2)=2(−2)2+1=2(4)+1=8+1=9{\displaystyle f(-2)=2(-2)^{2}+1=2(4)+1=8+1=9}. This gives the point (−2,9){\displaystyle (-2,9)}. When looking at a function, symmetry suggests a mirror image. If you see that the part of the graph on the right (positive) side of the y-axis matches the part of the graph on the left (negative) side of the y-axis, then the graph is symmetrical across the y-axis. If a function is symmetrical across the y-axis, then the function is even.  You can test symmetry by selecting individual points. If the y-value for any selected x is the same as the y-value for -x, then the function is even. The points that were chosen above for plotting f(x)=2x2+1{\displaystyle f(x)=2x^{2}+1} gave the following results:  (1,3) and (-1,3) (2,9) and (-2,9).   The matching y-values for x=1 and x=-1 and for x=2 and x=-2 indicate that this is an even function. For a true test, selecting two points is not enough proof, but it is a good indication. The origin is the central point (0,0). Origin symmetry means that a positive result for a chosen x-value will correspond to a negative result for -x, and vice versa. Odd functions display origin...

TL;DR in English: Graph the function Test for symmetry across the y-axis. Test for origin symmetry. Look for no symmetry.

When you first buy black jeans, you should set the dye once before washing them. To set the dye, fill a bath with cold water, one cup of vinegar, and one tablespoon of salt. Soak your jeans in the bath, both inside and out. This will set the dye before you wash your jeans. Small stains can be spot cleaned with household cleaners. This prevents the need to wash black jeans each time they get slightly dirty. Pine sol can easily be used to remove grease. In the event of a paint stain, dab it off with Mötsenböcker’s Lift Off. In the event you need to wash your jeans, use the most gentle settings on your washer possible. Use cold water and cycles like "hand wash" or "gentle wash." This will prevent the color from fading. Never put black jeans in a dryer. Always hang them up by their belt loops to dry. Make sure to keep them out of direct sunlight.

Every time you use the word gay to refer to someone or something that you don't like or think is stupid, wrong or bad in any way, take a mental note. Examine why you want to use it. What situations are you in when this usually happens?  Keep track of the times that you say it, think it, or almost use the word. You can even write it down. If you find yourself using it when you are around certain people or discussing certain topics, you may want to limit your time in those scenarios until you get things under control. You could also be more careful in those situations because you know they trigger your use of the word. When "gay" is used inappropriately, it is typically to describe something that is negative, silly, or dumb. If you do not talk about these things, you will be less likely to call something "gay." Spend more time talking about good and positive things and experiences.  If you find yourself in the middle of one of these conversations, try to think of something positive to say or change the subject. It will take time to change the way you speak and the type of conversations you find yourself in. When using replacements, remember that they apply not only to spoken language, but also to writing and thinking. If you constantly challenge yourself to use alternatives, you will eventually become used to using these alternatives. The alternative words and phrases will eventually become part of your vocabulary.  Instead of using "gay" try using "inappropriate," "weird," "strange," "wrong," out of place," out of line," or "out of order."   Expand your vocabulary to have more words to pull from. Having a wider knowledge of words that you have at your disposal is amazingly useful. Buy yourself a thesaurus, a word-a-day calendar, or add a word-a-day widget to your browser's homepage. You may have a slip up when you are trying to stop using the word "gay." If you do make the mistake, apologize immediately. When you apologize immediately, it shows that you are trying to change, and you are taking responsibility. ...

TL;DR in English: Register every time you use gay in a derogatory manner. Avoid talking about negative subjects. Come up with alternative phrases or words to use. Apologize immediately. Stop other people from using the word inappropriately.

Weight training can help you prepare your body for aerobics so that you burn more fat during your aerobic activities. Not only does weight training make your body naturally burn more calories, it can also warm your body up for fat burning. There are a variety of ways you can engage in weight training. You can use your own body as a weight, use dumbbells at the gym, or work with gym machinery.  Things like push-ups, pull-ups, abdominal crunches, and leg squats use your own body as weight. If you tend to work out at home, these may be good options for a weight training routine. You can purchase resistance tubing at big box or fitness stores. This is a form of lightweight tubing that resists being stretched and varies from very stretchy to highly resistant. There are many weight training regimens you can do with resistance tubing. You can also use free weights, like barbells and dumbbells, which you can buy or find at the gym. If you usually work out at your gym, you can use the weight machines there. You may want to talk to a trainer ahead of time, however, to make sure a weight machine is correctly calibrated for your height, size and strength. Machines have settings for bench height, handle heights, incline, decline, etc. If you've never done weight training before, you need to start small. It's recommended you talk to a trainer before beginning a weight training routine, as it's easy to strain yourself if you don't have a sense of your own strength or proper form and technique. When beginning weight training, you want to start with lighter weights.  Usually, 12 repetitions of a single motion is as much as you should do when starting out. For example, you can hold a dumbbell in one hand and hold it down at your side. Lift the dumbbell up, bending your arm at the elbow, and then lower the dumbbell. Repeat 12 times. By the 12th repetition, you should be tired. It should be difficult for you to finish the motion. If you don't feel tired, you may need to get a heavier weight. The amount of weight you can lift...

TL;DR in English: Engage in weight training prior to aerobics. Choose a mode of weight training. Start with small repetitions and low weights. Aim for two to three half-hour strength training sessions a week. Do aerobics after weight training.

You'll need to know the general details of the topic that you'll be expected to debate, but in particular, you should take note of specific information and figures you might use. This will help with your rational appeal in your argument, as numbers can have a powerful impact in your audience while being difficult to refute.  Research in an open ended fashion to improve your critical evaluation of facts. Open ended research usually entails shifting your reading and viewing habits to include sources that are educational or current event based. Conduct focused research on your topic. List the areas you feel you have strong background knowledge and any gaps in your knowledge on the topic. Try to fill in these gaps while coordinating your research with other teammates, so there is little to no overlap in your research efforts and you make the best use of your time. How you present yourself to your audience is often considered to be part of your delivery and will likely affect your scoring. Depending on the level of your competition and the expectations of those involved, the right outfit for your situation may vary. You will want to come across from the very beginning as being respectful of your audience and a respectable person, both of which can be achieved by wearing more formal clothing.  Ask your teacher or coach what the best clothing for your level of competition might be if you are unsure. Lower level or less serious competitions might only require a dress shirt or polo with a pair of khaki pants. High level competitions, championships for example, will probably be best attended in a suit and tie. Don't overdress; although a tuxedo will set you apart, it might seem to others like you are showing off.

Gather a load of wool clothes, if possible, and wash them all at once. If you don’t have much wool, wash your hat with similar items like knitted clothing or blankets. If your washer has a center agitator, wash your hat in a mesh laundry bag with other clothing.  Be sure to only wash your hat with similar colors or add a color catcher cloth to make sure your hat does not soak up any other colors. If your washer does not have a center agitator, it’s okay to wash the hat by itself. Only wash stocking cap style hats in the washer. Hats with a bill, brim, or other structural pieces should only be washed by hand. Basic laundry detergent can damage the fibers of a wool hat, so don’t use standard detergent. Use either wool-specific detergent, such as Woolite, or another mild detergent for delicate fabrics. Never pour the detergent directly onto the wool hat, as too much detergent on the hat could damage the fibers. Either put the detergent in after water has been added or pour it away from the wool hat. Excessively hot water can shrink wool and damage the fibers, so never put a washing machine on a hot cycle with your wool hat. Make sure that the soak, wash, and rinse cycles are all either warm or cold. Water temperature on the warm setting should be 80℉ (27℃) or below. If you don’t know the temperature of the warm setting, it’s best to stick with cold water. Since wool is not as tough as some other materials, do not use the normal wash settings. Choose “Delicates,” or even “Wool cycle,” if it is an option. Whichever setting provides the gentlest wash is the best setting for your hat. If the washer you want to use does not offer a gentle setting, it is best to wash your wool hat by hand.

TL;DR in English: Put the hat in the washing machine. Use detergent that is formulated for wool. Set the washing machine for warm or cold water. Pick the gentlest wash setting.

Many colleges require students to take electives as a part of their curriculum. Colleges often offer unique and fun classes including wine tasting, bowling, scuba diving, and self-defense classes. To take a break from demanding classes, try taking something that you will enjoy or learn a new skill. College campuses are notorious for having a club to fit just about any interest. If you have a hobby or interest, try and find a club to join. Or, if you can't find one, create one! Look around campus for flyers that advertise these clubs. Check high-traffic areas such as dorms, cafeterias, and/or classroom buildings. Sports can be a fun way to keep in shape and to meet new people. While you may or may not be able to get on the college football team, colleges often have amateur and co-ed sports clubs like hockey, soccer, or frisbee. Colleges may host special guest lecturers, celebrities, and/or bands. Watch your college special events page for more information on these events. Often, you can attend for free or a discount price. A number of colleges offer study abroad programs. Take advantage of this and visit a country you have always wanted to visit.  Check with your advisor about what programs are available. These trips can be expensive; make sure you can afford the means to go. Some study abroad trips can fulfill credits for a specific major. Talk to your academic advisor about this option. Colleges offer many opportunities for professional and personal development.
