First, you'll feel a headache and a muscular stiffness in the jaw. It will be difficult to open and close your mouth. This is why the condition is commonly known as "lockjaw." Symptoms usually set in about eight days after infection, although the onset has been known to range from three days to three weeks.  A shorter incubation period signals a more heavily infected wound. Also, tetanus-infected wounds take longer to incubate when they are father from the central nervous system. Seek urgent treatment if you experience tetanus symptoms within fewer than eight days of exposure. On their own, a headache and a slightly stiff jaw should not terrify you. This could mean a lot of things. However, it wouldn't hurt to check with a doctor if you're worried. As tetanus worsens, you'll experience a stiff neck, and you'll have trouble swallowing. Other symptoms may include:  Painful hardening of the abdominal muscles Spasms in the jaw, chest, and abdomen. These spasms can cause painful, hyper-extended back arching, or opisthotonos. Sweating and fever Irregular breathing and heartbeat Advanced cases of tetanus can severely impair your breathing with spasms in your throat and vocal cords – and these spasms can cause fractures and muscle tears. Muscular stiffness may cause the spine and other long bones to fracture. You may experience high blood pressure and an irregular heartbeat. Untreated tetanus can cause pneumonia, blood clots in the lungs, and even a coma. Despite the innovations of modern treatment, 10-30% of tetanus patients die from the condition. The mortality rate is highest in unvaccinated people and people over 60 years old. Your chances might be better if you're vaccinated, you have a strong immune system, and you're relatively young. This does not mean that you shouldn't be worried!

TL;DR in English: Identify the early signs of tetanus. Watch for progressing symptoms. Be aware of the complications.

The liver aids both in glandular function and with other organ systems. It protects the body by detoxifying hormones, drugs, and any biological molecules not produced in the human body. The liver also synthesizes cholesterol and proteins that might otherwise lead to clotting and inflammation. It stores vitamins, minerals, and sugar while removing bacteria.  The liver is involved in several important body functions, so it can become taxed by overuse. It's very important to return an overburdened liver to healthy enzyme levels to ensure all of these processes continue to function normally. Partly because the liver performs so many essential functions, it is prone to a number of different diseases. There are a wide variety of diseases that can cause your liver enzyme levels to shoot up:  Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): fats such as triglycerides and cholesterol accumulate in the liver. Hepatitis viruses: Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E all have different causes. However, each different type of hepatitis infection taxes the liver. Other infections that burden the liver include mononucleosis, adenoviruses, and cytomegalovirus. Tick bites and parasites can cause harmful diseases like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or toxoplasmosis. Cancer that is often related to previous viral infections and liver cirrhosis Alcoholic hepatitis Jaundice Cirrhosis or the late-stage scarring of the liver Because the liver is involved in so many different processes, there is no single list of symptoms that point to liver disease. However, every liver disorder has both unique and shared symptoms.  If you experience any of these symptoms, speak with your healthcare provider immediately:  Yellowish skin and eyes that suggest jaundice Abdominal pain and swelling Swelling in the legs and ankles Itchy skin Dark yellow or reddish urine color Pale stools or bloody, tarry stools Chronic fatigue Nausea or vomiting Loss of appetite Weight loss Dry mouth, increased thirst A tendency to...

TL;DR in English: Learn what the liver does for your body. Educate yourself on conditions that can tax the liver. Recognize the symptoms of liver disease. See your healthcare provider for a diagnosis. Track your liver enzymes.

To stay out of trouble, plan in advance how you will handle a confrontation if it happens. When a bully is screaming at you, you're less likely to freeze up and go blank if you already know exactly what you are going to say.  Interrupt them. Say something like, “Sorry, I need to make a phone call,” and walk away before they can stop you. Offer to continue the conversation after class – they may have forgotten you and moved on to something else by then. If you know you can pull it off, smile and act amused. The last thing a bully wants is to be embarrassed in front of his friends. You can avoid trouble at school if you learn to take charge of a dangerous situation before it gets out of control. You may be able to calm your opponent down if you can figure out their underlying motive for harassing you. In some cases, you may be able to find another way to work things out that doesn't involve fighting.  Every time the bully asks a question, reply by asking her to explain herself. (“Why do you believe that?” or “What makes you think I did that?”) Be careful not to lose your temper or come across as sarcastic, as this will only make them angrier. If you're being bullied, you are not alone. Talk to your friends about the problem, and get their advice. You'll probably find that many of them have had to deal with the same thing in the past. You can avoid getting into trouble at school by asking them what they did to resolve the situation.  One out of every 5 high school students in the US reported being bullied at school in 2013, and 1 in every 6 has been bullied online.  Five percent of US students missed a day or more of school because they did not feel safe from a bully. In instances where bullying may lead to physical harm, always tell a parent or a teacher. Bullying is a serious problem – there have been numerous occasions where bullying has resulted in severe injury and even death. You can avoid getting into trouble if the school knows you aren't the one causing the problem.  Allowing a bully to get away with it...

Wet the area of the cut with cold water.  This will wash the blood away from the cut. Typically, an alum block is used to help heal a small nick that results from shaving. Wetting the area can also help you remove shaving cream residue.  Alum blocks can also be used for other small cuts. It is safe enough to use on children. If your child suffers a minor cut, you can apply the alum cut to that area, the same way you would use it on the face. Don't forget to dab the alum block in cold water before use. Apply the block with light pressure and hold for for 20 – 30 seconds or until bleeding stops. You might experience a slight sting at first but that’s the indication that your cut is being sealed. The alum block acts as a coagulant to stop bleeding.  Remove the alum block from the skin if the tingling begins to feel too intense or uncomfortable. Wash face (or other body part) with cold water to close pores and wash away any residue from the alum block. Don't forget to let your block dry before putting it away. Some people use alum as an alternative to typical deodorants. This might be a good alternative if you are looking to avoid spraying or rubbing chemicals on your body. Talk to your doctor before trying an alum (or "crystal") antiperspirant. Some health care providers feel that it might be linked to diseases such as breast cancer. While the research is inconclusive, it is important to be aware of this possibility.

TL;DR in English: Use an alum block to heal a small cut. Apply the block to the area of the cut. Try alum deodorant.

These small, un-detailed sketches--only a square inch or two in size--will allow you to trace out the visual flow of the whole book. There’s no need to erase or revise these; just quickly draw and let your ideas flow. Focus on landscape design, focal points, and general scene layout. Focus on character development, exploring a range of potential expressions, postures, and moods for each character you intend to illustrate. You can use these as references throughout the whole illustration process. For example, if your main character begins the book in a sad state and ends happy, try drawing him or her in both poles of emotion, developing intermediate expressions in between. Each illustration you produce will eventually cover one or two pages of a physical book, so it’s important to match the dimensions of your sketch with those of your final product. Try creating a precise grid with a pencil and a ruler on your sketch paper before sketching your scenes.  If your illustrations cover two pages, make sure to mark the area occupied by the spine of the book, and avoid sketching important details in this space. Make sure to determine where the author intends to place the text on each page. Mark these areas with a grid, and avoid sketching over them with details. Your illustrations should seamlessly follow the plot of the book as printed on each page. Try to capture details portrayed in the story, and look for ways to subtly foreshadow events in coming pages with your images. Make sure each of your characters are easily identifiable across the entire book. Check for consistent clothing, coloration, and expressions. If characters are hard for children to identify across multiple spreads, they may struggle to follow the plot of the book. If you are illustrating for a client, be sure and run your sketches by them before proceeding. At this stage, images are relatively easy to alter or replace, and it is important to have the author’s full approval and feedback before you move on to painting. Using your study sketches for...

TL;DR in English: Draw thumbnail sketches of the book. Draw some study sketches of your story. Create a sketching template. Work with the text. Check for consistency. Share your sketches with your client. Prepare final sketches of each spread.

When you bring it home, feed what it is used to eating at her previous home. A sudden change of diet will upset its tummy. Decide what you want to feed the kitten long term. After 2 - 3 days, when it is settled, you can gradually change its diet. Do this by mixing in increasing quantities of the new food over several days so that the kitten's stomach gets a chance to adjust to the new food. " This food is balanced to provide the calcium and extra protein that a growing kitten needs. Choose a good quality food that has a named meat, for example "chicken" rather than "meat meal" or "chicken meal", as top ingredient on the label. Know that cats are obligate carnivores, which means they depend on meat to be healthy. This means that you need to avoid foods that are heavily bulked up with cereals. You can spot this by seeing if cereals or soy products are high on the food label. Your kitten needs a growth food during their first six months. After that, their growth slows down.  Kitten foods are calorie dense, so if kitty is putting on too much weight, it is fine to switch to an adult food (less calories) at six months of age. If your kitty is at a correct weight switch to adult food at one year of age. For example, don't give milk or cream. The kitten doesn't need it and it is likely to upset its stomach.

Though there are mixed reports about how long you should wait to follow up on a job application, the general consensus is that you should wait at least 3 to 5 days.  In fact, some hiring managers say that they prefer not to receive follow up emails at all. They believe that it is an attention-grabbing tactic and takes away from the time they need to select qualified candidates. That said, others say that following up will make you stand out in a good way.  Just remember that it's possible that dozens of applicants applied for the same position as you did, and that it takes time to sort through applications and find qualified candidates for the next round. You don't want to seem pushy or impatient by following up too soon. Ideally, you should address your email to the same person you reached out to when you applied for the job. If you can’t find the name, then "Dear Hiring Manager" may be the best you can do.  You may be able to find the contact information for the hiring manager on the company website or LinkedIn page. Always check the spelling. Nothing can create a negative impression quicker than misspelling someone's name. Something simple like, "Application Follow-Up for Editor Position" will do the trick. If the position had a reference or requisition number, then you can add that as well. Remember that the hiring manager may be hiring for multiple positions at once, so it's important to be as specific as possible. You can even put your name in the subject to make it easier for the hiring manager to find your application. Simply write "Dear" in front of the hiring manager’s name, just as you did when you wrote your cover letter. Don't fall into being too informal and say "Hi" or "Hey" just because it's an email—it's important to keep things on the formal side for now. "Dear Mr. Smith" is an appropriate salutation. Start off by saying when you applied for the position, how you found it, and that you are checking on the status. You can add that you would like to make sure that they received your materials....

TL;DR in English: Give it at least a few days before sending an email. Address your email to the correct person. Make the subject specific and direct. Write the correct greeting. State the position you applied for and when. Reinforce your enthusiasm and qualifications for the position. Keep the closing short and simple but enthusiastic. Proofread your draft before you send it. Practice patience while you wait for a response.

Place a thin plastic wedge against the body of the vehicle directly above, below, or to the side of the emblem.  Slide the wedge beneath the badge and into the glue.  You may need to do it from multiple angles to loosen the emblem sufficiently.  You can then either pry the emblem off, or use another method to cut through the adhesive in the middle.  If you pry the emblem off, it may break.  If you intend to throw the emblems away after, this method is fine. If you would like to keep the emblems, try using another method to cut through the glue in the middle. Cut a length of fishing line or dental floss that is about eight inches long.  Wrap each end around the index fingers on each of your hands, then press the line against the body of the vehicle.  Slide it down behind the emblem and pull the line to the left and right in a sawing motion as it passes beneath the emblem and through the adhesive.  This method offers the best chances of removing the badge completely intact. If the dental floss breaks, cut another length of it and repeat the process until you are through. .  You can also use a credit card in place of a plastic wedge or wire.  Slide the credit card behind the emblem and continue to work it through the softened adhesive until it is loose enough to remove.  Make sure to face the credit card out, toward yourself, so the letters don’t scratch the paint. If you would like to keep the emblem, try to remove as much glue as possible before pulling the emblem off. Once the emblem is off of the vehicle, spray adhesive removed on the bits of glue that remain on the body of the car.  Allow the adhesive remover to sit for a minute, then wipe the area clean with a rag. You may need to apply adhesive remover more than once to remove all of the glue.

TL;DR in English: Use a plastic wedge to pry the emblem off. Cut the adhesive with dental floss or fishing line. Remove the emblem using a credit card. Spray adhesive remover on the leftover glue.

You may be forgetting to brush your teeth because you have an aversion to it. If brushing your teeth or gums hurts or overwhelms your senses, you may let yourself "forget" more than otherwise. Do everything you can to make brushing a comfortable act. Get a toothbrush that you like.  If you are frustrated with the time brushing takes, try setting a timer or playing a song of a certain length while you brush. If your gums are sensitive, try an electronic toothbrush, or a soft toothbrush. However, also make sure you visit a dentist or a periodontist to teach you the proper brushing technique. Get a kind of toothpaste that smells and tastes good to you. Pick a flavor you like, or choose an unscented, neutral toothpaste. Create a pleasant tooth cleaning environment. Listen to music while you brush your teeth. Wear slippers if your feet are cold. Ask yourself "do I like being in the bathroom?" If you share your bathroom, if it's dirty, or if you don't like looking at yourself in the mirror, you may be avoiding it. Find another place to brush your teeth, or make improvements to your bathroom. If you tend to do a lot of activities in bed before you fall asleep, you may fall asleep where you are. Brush your teeth before you get into bed. You may not be a morning person, and may wake up too groggy to remember to brush. Set a reminder, or brush every day after breakfast or lunch.  If you work or hang out until late and come home exhausted, either set a reminder or bring a toothbrush and toothpaste with you and brush as soon as you are done with food and drink. Even if you are in a hurry for work after breakfast, never brush your teeth in a rush because it can do a lot of harm to your gums and teeth. Take the toothbrush and the toothpaste with you and brush before entering your office. If your routine is making it impossible for you to complete basic acts of self-care, consider making larger changes. It may be hard to remember to care for yourself when you are feeling depressed, anxious, or demoralized. Remind yourself...

This is a more direct approach than the imagery method.  This can actually involve a suggestion to use your imagination, but suggestions, if successful, should seem to take less effort. This method can result in more specific changes to behavior and/or perceptions than other techniques. More careful instruction on the part of the hypnotist will be required. After the subject is in the hypnotic state, they are receptive to suggestions and the hypnotist can pass along the instruction or condition.  The instruction needs to be specific, but simple. Create a cue, such as the opening of eyes or ringing of a bell, to start and end the instruction's effect. Do not deviate from your calm, steady voice during the conditioning. Bring the subject out of the period of suggestion with the cue you created. If you are experimenting, it's best to try one suggestion at a time. If your subject choose a specific behavior they want elicited or stopped, modify your instructions accordingly.   In the experimental setting, the hypnotist can try some practical suggestions as long as they are careful they will do no harm. The hypnotist can try suggesting the subject perform an action like take a drink, eat, write. The hypnotist could try having them respond to a command or stimulus such as doing one action when you play a musical note. The hypnotist can suggest something more complex--perhaps having them respond with a specific phrase when you give a command phrase. Stopping habits like smoking, nail-biting, and the like is a common use for this technique. This technique can also create behaviors and images like seeing lost friends, memory effects, and pain displacement. While this technique is not as drawn out as the imagery method, multiple sessions can still be useful for testing variations of the experimental version's effectiveness. Extended therapy sessions can also be beneficial.  Maintain communication between hypnotist and subject to determine if the therapy is improving behavior and/or lifestyle. Make sure there isn't a...

TL;DR in English: Plant a suggestion in the subject's mind. Speak the instruction after hypnotic induction. Target a particular behavior and/or sensation. Plan regular sessions. Consider other techniques.

Any new hobby, be it something outrageous and sporty like motocross or something modest and home-bound, will add a much-needed dose of variety to your life.  Think about things you’ve always wanted to try, or, if nothing comes to mind, try browsing a YMCA catalog or online forum for suggestions.  Your hobby could be an organic outgrowth of things you’re already interested in: for example, if you’ve always loved Saturday morning cartoons or anime, consider trying your hand at cartoon artistry. It can be especially rewarding to pick a creative hobby that yields tangible results, such as knitting, painting, or preserve-making.  Not only will you feel interested and engaged in a new, unfamiliar activity, but you will also feel productive.  You’ll have a self-made scarf, portrait, or strawberry jam to concretely display your accomplishments.  And, as a bonus, you can use these products of your new hobby as personal gifts for family and friends! Many times people feel bored in life because they forget how diverse, surprising, and boundlessly interesting the world around them really is.  They see the boundaries of the world as the tiny circle of their own job, family, friends, and expertise, rather than recognizing how much information, skills, and ideas exist outside of this limited, personal realm.  You can fix this existential myopia by taking a class and learning a new skill or discipline.    Many studies have shown that learning a language is one of the most rewarding educational experiences an adolescent or adult can do.  It not only teaches you a new mode of communication, but also a fresh perspective on the world: with every language and linguistic system, you’ll also learn about different cultures and social structures. Learning the "language" of music is another rewarding way to stimulate your brain. Take music lessons for that instrument you've always loved. Even though there are a wealth of online-based learning materials like YouTube tutorials and online university courses for all kinds of subjects and...

One important component of your breakfast should be protein.  Studies have shown that those people who had a decent amount of protein at their breakfast stayed satisfied longer and were able to maintain a healthy weight.  To ensure you're eating enough protein at breakfast, aim for about 1 serving of a protein-rich food.  This is about 3 – 4 oz or about 1/2 cup.  Try these protein-rich foods at breakfast:  lean breakfast meat (like turkey bacon, turkey sausage or ham), low-fat dairy products, smoked salmon or eggs. Grains are a common food group found in breakfast meals.  They offer a great source of energy and can be made quickly to help you get out the door faster in the morning.  Grains, especially whole grains, are great for breakfast.  They can offer a little bit of protein and fiber.  The body uses carbohydrates, fat, and lastly protein for fuel. These nutrients follow different metabolic pathways to provide energy (or fuel).  Carbohydrates are a great fuel source and readily broken down for use, so make sure you include them in your breakfast.  Try to choose whole grains at breakfast.  These are less processed and have a high nutrient content (especially fiber) compared to more refined grains. Great grain-based foods for quick breakfasts include:  whole grain waffles, whole grain bread, oatmeal, whole wheat English muffins, mini whole wheat bagels or a whole grain cereal. Another important component at breakfast is a high fiber fruit.  Fruits are an easy way to get in a source of fiber and vitamins early in the morning.  Fruit is a common and tasty breakfast side dish.  Including them helps balance your breakfast meal and provides an adequate source of fiber, vitamins and antioxidants to your meal.  If you choose to include fruit at breakfast, make sure to measure the appropriate portion.  It's one small piece of fruit or about 1/2 cup of diced fruit. You can have any fruit as a side to your meal, but you can also add fruit to your meals to make them balanced.  For example, top yogurt, oatmeal or...

No matter what type of fruit you're drying, the flavor and texture will hold up best over time if you use fruit that's perfectly ripe. Discard fruit that's overripe and bruised, and leave out fruit that's not quite ripe yet. Dried fruit usually still has its peel or skin intact, but you can remove these if you don't like them. Regardless of what you do with the peel and skin, pits and seeds should be removed.  To peel apples, pears and other fruits with a tough peel, use a vegetable peeler or slice off the peel with a paring knife. Remove the seeds using an apple corer or by slicing out the core with a knife. To peel peaches, plums, nectarines and other fruits with a thin skin, use the following process: slice an "x" in the skin at the top of the fruit. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil the fruit for 30 seconds, then remove it from the pot and place it in a bowl of ice to cool down. Once cool enough to handle, pull off the peel with your fingers. Remove the pit by slicing the fruit in half and prying it out. Use a paring knife to cut the fruit into equal-sized slices for easier storage. Fruit dried whole may dry unevenly or take forever to completely dry out, so it's better to cut the fruit first. Small fruits are the exception; there's no need to cut blueberries, raspberries, grapes or small strawberries before drying. It's best to dry fruit at a temperature of 200 °F (93 °C) or lower. If you use a higher temperature the fruit may end up baking instead of drying. If you have a food dehydrator, use it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Spread it out in one even layer to cut back on the time it takes for the fruit to completely dry. Use a nonstick baking sheet to keep the fruit from sticking. The amount of time it takes to dry varies by the type of fruit you're using, how hot your oven is running, and other factors. It could take as little as eight hours or as long as two days to completely dry the fruit. Test the fruit periodically to see if it's finished. Fully dry fruit should have a...

TL;DR in English: Choose ripe, flavorful fruit. Remove the peels, seeds and pits if necessary. Cut the fruit into chunks or slices. Preheat the oven to its lowest temperature. Lay the fruit out on a baking sheet. Place the fruit in the oven until it's dry. Store the dried fruit.

You can completely submerge yourself in any body of water that is higher than you are tall, or that will cover your head when sitting (or even lying down, such as in a wading pool). The most important factor to consider for picking a spot is to observe your surroundings. Always approach holding your breath underwater with caution, especially in a crowded public pool where people are engaged in many different activities and not paying attention to others.  If you want to sink to the bottom of a pool, you may think choosing a spot near the wall is safest. But, remember that people will be entering the water around all edges of a pool. It may be better to find a relatively isolated place, away from where people may be entering the water and away from large groups. Also, keep your distance from the pool drain, which can exert hundreds of pounds of suction and can cause injury and death.Have a friend keep an eye out for you while you’re below the surface. If you’re swimming underwater, keep an eye out for traffic and remember that other swimmers will not necessarily be looking out for you. Ideally you can chart a clear path ahead of you to the other side, one that will stay clear until you get there. If you're in the shallow side of the pool, you will likely be standing. If you're in a part of the pool where the water is higher than you are tall, your body will assume a vertical position with ease as, generally, your lower body will be heavier than your upper body. Do not hyperventilate. Taking several fast breaths in a row before submerging yourself is known as DUBB, "dangerous underwater breath-holding behaviors" and can cause hypoxic blackout, which can lead to brain damage, fainting, and death. Pull your knees in and hold them close to your chest by wrapping your arms around them. This tucked position changes the amount of space you're taking up in the water and will allow you to fall deeper into the water and to more easily remain underwater. Objects, and bodies, sink in water if they have a higher density...

TL;DR in English: Choose a spot in the water to sink. Take a vertical position in the water with your feet pointing down. Take some slow, deep breaths to fill your lungs with oxygen. Get into a tucked position. Sink. Return to the surface.

One of these tools will allow you to lay out consistent, precise angles down the length of the board. Measure 7 inches (18 cm) from the center of the square on one arm to set the rise and 10–11 inches (25–28 cm) on the other arm for the run. It may help to highlight each position with a strip of colored tape to make them easier to see and line up quickly.  For maximum efficiency, consider attaching adjustable stair gauges to your framing square. These can be adjusted to your exact specifications, making it easier to ensure that each angle comes out identical without the need to realign the square every time.  Stair stringers are most often cut from a single 2x12 stock board. The tread arm is the one you’re using to indicate the run of the steps, while the riser arm will serve as a guide for marking the rise. Make sure the square is centered on the board so that each step will come out at a perfect 90 degree angle.  Make sure you leave at least 7 inches (18 cm) inches at the head of the board for the final riser, which you can trim to fit later. If you have the square positioned the wrong way, the rise and run dimensions will be reversed. Holding the square in place with one hand, run the tip of a pencil along the outer edge of the angle. The resulting lines will create a jagged pattern that when cut will form a notch for the tread and riser of one step. Draw all the way to the edges of the board so there will be no guesswork involved once it comes time to begin sawing.  Be careful not to left the square shift while you’re drawing your lines. The slightest movement could throw off the measurements of the finished stairs. When you’re done, check both lines with your tape measure to confirm that they’re the right length. Once you’ve marked the first step, move the square down the board so that the tread arm intersects with the line you just drew for the second riser. Trace the next step in the same fashion. Continue until you’ve outlined the total number of steps you’ve planned for your stairs. You’ll be able to...

Choose a light, carrier oil to use as your base. Pour ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of your carrier oil into a glass bottle. Add 20 to 30 drops of your favorite essential oil. Consider adding 1 teaspoon of rubbing alcohol to help bind the water to the essential oil. Close the bottle, and shake it to mix. Use the diffuser oil.

Read over the following bullets. Answer honestly and without justifying your partner's behavior (don't say "Well, they're not like that ALL the time," or "It's only happened once or twice--" if it happened at all it's an issue!). Simply answer yes or no. Even 3-4 yeses mean it is time to get out and get with someone who treats you with the respect you deserve. Does your partner:  Embarrass or make fun of you in front of your friends or family? Put down your accomplishments or discourage your goals?  Make you feel like you are unable to make decisions? Use intimidation, guilt, or threats to gain compliance? Tell you what you can and cannot wear? Tell you what you need to do with your hair? Tell you that you are nothing without them, or they are nothing without you? Treat you roughly without your consent - grab, push, pinch, shove or hit you? Call you several times a night or show up to make sure you are where you said you would be? Use drugs or alcohol as an excuse for saying hurtful things or abusing you? Blame you for how they feel or act? Pressure you sexually for things you aren’t ready for? Make you feel like there "is no way out" of the relationship? Prevent you from doing things you want - like spending time with your friends or family? Try to keep you from leaving after a fight or leave you somewhere after a fight to "teach you a lesson"? Hearing multiple versions of the "same" story? Do their friends tell you things about your partner that you've never heard, or that your partner flat-out contradicted? Half-truths and selective memories often mean they're shaping the "truth" for you. This is a major red-flag for manipulation, and you best get to the bottom of it.  When you're being controlled or manipulated, it's usually through half-truths or omissions, not outright lies. There's just enough weirdness to make you stop and think, but not quite enough to get you to re-evaluate the entire relationship.  If this happens more than once, STOP and remind yourself that this isn't the first time you've had...

Keep your friends close -- especially if they are trying to cut them out of the picture. Show excessive jealousy or possessiveness the door. Walk out on double standards and can't-win situations. Ignore their sweet, fake attempts to make nice.

Before you do your Kegel exercises, it's important to find your pelvic muscles. These are the muscles that form the floor of your pelvic floor. The most common way to find them is to try to stop the flow of your urine midstream. This tightening is the basic move of a Kegel. Let those muscles go and resume the flow of urine and you'll have a better sense of where those Kegels are. Just remember to see a doctor before you begin your Kegel exercises if you have any medical problems that may prevent you from doing Kegels safely. You should feel the muscles tightening and your pelvic floor move up. Relax and you'll feel the pelvic floor move back again. Make sure your finger is clean before you insert it into your vagina. If you're a sexually active woman, you can also ask your partner if he can feel you "hugging" his penis and letting go during sex. If you're still having trouble locating or isolating your Kegels, place a hand mirror below your perineum, which is the skin-covered area between your vagina and your anus. Practice squeezing and relaxing what you think are your Kegel muscles. If you do this correctly, you should see your perineum contracting with each squeeze. This is important. You don't want to do your Kegels with a full or a partially full bladder, or you may experience pain while you do your Kegels, as well as some leakage. Before you start your exercise routine, do a bladder check so you can perform those exercises as efficiently as possible. Your Kegel exercises should focus on these muscles only, so you should avoid flexing other muscles, such as your buttocks, thighs, or your abdomen, for best results. To help your concentration and the efficiency of your movements, make sure you breathe in and out as you perform each set of Kegels, instead of holding your breath. This will help you relax and get the most out of your pelvic floor exercises.  One way to keep your muscles relaxed is to place one hand on your belly to make sure that your belly is relaxed. If your back or belly ache a bit after...

TL;DR in English: Find your pelvic muscles by stopping the flow of your urine mid-stream. If you still have trouble finding your Kegels, place your finger in your vagina and squeeze your muscles. Use a hand mirror to find your Kegels. Make sure you have an empty bladder before you begin your Kegels. Concentrate on only tightening your pelvic floor muscles. Get into a comfortable position.

You can use just about any type of lightweight oil, such as coconut oil, safflower oil, or sweet almond oil. Avoid using solid coconut oil, and other heavy oils, such as extra virgin olive oil and jojoba oil; they will take too long to travel up the diffuser. This method is intended for reed-based diffusers. Do not use it for plug-in diffusers. Stick a funnel into the neck of the bottle first, so that you don't spill and waste any oil. Lavender, lemon, mint, tea tree, and vanilla are all popular individual choices, but you can combine different oils to create a more unique fragrance. Here are some combinations to get you started:  Bergamot and patchouli Cinnamon and wild orange Lavender and eucalyptus Lavender, lemon, and rosemary White fir and cypress This will also help the oil travel faster up the bamboo reeds. Choose something that is at least 90%. Vodka can be used in place of rubbing alcohol. This will help the different oils (and rubbing alcohol, if you are using it) to blend together instead of just floating on top of each other. If your bottle has a narrow neck, you can simply insert some bamboo skewers into it. You can also pour it into your reed diffuser bottle, but make sure that it is clean and all traces of the previous fragrance have been washed out. When inserting reeds into the bottle, make sure that they are new. Do not reuse old reeds.

Cover a large baking sheet with wax paper. Fill a large bowl with 4 cups (400 grams) of Golden Graham cereal and 3 cups (300 grams) of Chex cereal. Microwave the peanut butter and chocolate for 30 seconds, then stir. Transfer the cereal mixture into a 2 gallon (7.6 liter) resealable bag. Use a spatula to spread the coated cereal across the wax paper so that it can cool. Serve the muddy buddies.

Position your index and middle fingers on either side of the seam. For better ball control, your index finger should just about touch the seam. Your thumb may rest on the ball, but this usually doesn't affect delivery. Use your remaining two fingers to hold the ball in place. Place your wrist at its highest point with your palm facing left (roughly towards the cover position). Keep your arm bent at 15 degrees or less. Anything more than 15 degrees is considered illegal in cricket. Plant the sole of your foot flat on the ground. Position the leg on your bowling side behind you with your toe pointed. Make sure your feet remain aligned during this step. Pivot your waist at a perpendicular angle from the batter. Position your torso toward the side of your bowling hand. For example, if you're bowling with your right hand, your torso should face right. This will help to keep your body balanced. Rotate your shoulder so that your arm is above your head. Bend the elbow of this arm. Position the forearm and hand of this arm toward your bowling hand. Raise the thigh on your non-bowling side, with your shin and foot helping to form a 135-degree angle. Position your knee slightly toward your bowling hand. Keep the foot on your bowling side planted flat on the ground. Keep the back of your hand facing square leg. Move your index finger downwards over the ball. Right before you release the ball, bend your elbow. Just before release, bend your wrist inward. As you deliver the ball, spin it as you would in an off-break.

TL;DR in English: Hold the ball like a fast bowler. Position your bowling arm vertically and close to your head. Step forward with your non-dominant foot. Rotate your torso. Raise your non-bowling arm. Position your legs. Deliver the ball.

Writing in “stages” can help your assignment feel more manageable and help you control your time effectively. Plan to spend about ⅓ of your time and effort on the 3 individual parts of:  Pre-writing: gathering your thoughts or research, brainstorming, and planning the composition Writing: actively writing your composition Editing: re-reading your paper, adding sentences, cutting unnecessary parts, and proofreading When you're first getting started trying to figure out the best way to approach a topic you've got to write about, do some free-writing. No one has to see it, so feel free to explore your thoughts and opinions about a given topic and see where it leads. Try a timed writing by keeping your pen moving for 10 minutes without stopping. Don't shy away from including your opinions about a particular topic, even if your teacher has warned you from including personal opinions in your paper. This isn't the final draft! When you’re first brainstorming for your paper, try to hone in on what you think is the strongest or most interesting idea you have. Start by outlining free-writing about that part, then build outwards to develop ideas for the rest of your paper. Don’t worry about coming up with a polished thesis statement or final argument now; that can come later in the process. Once you've got your main concepts, ideas, and arguments about the topic starting to form, you might consider organizing everything into a formal outline to help you get started writing an actual draft of the paper. Use complete sentences to start getting your main points together for your actual composition. . Your thesis statement will guide your entire composition, and is maybe the single most important part of writing a good composition. A thesis statement is generally one debatable point that you're trying to prove in the essay.  Your thesis statement needs to be debatable. In fact, many thesis statements are structured as the answer to a well-formulated question about the topic. "Romeo & Juliet is an interesting play written by...

You will be spreading the finished muddy buddies across this at the end, so make sure that you have enough room. Save the remaining 1 cup (100 grams) of Golden Graham cereal for later. Keep microwaving and stirring at 30 second intervals until the mixture is smooth. There should be no lumps or clumps. If you don't have a plastic, resealable bag, use a large, plastic container with a lid in stead. You will need to shake the cereal with some powdered sugar, so make sure that whatever container you end up using has enough space for the cereal to move about. Try to spread the cereal mixture as evenly and thinly as possible. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes for them to cool. If you have any left over, put them into an airtight container, and store it in the fridge.

Ask your dentist about using the gel. Consult with your dentist about using the gel. Desensitize and heal your mouth beforehand. Put a small amount of gel into the tray. Wipe away the excess materiel. Use the tray for the prescribed time.

Recognise when you are being impatient. Accept inevitable waits. Think positively. Try some deep breathing. Think of patience as compassion.

A poorly fitted tray can be created by your dentist.  The custom tray can fit the curves and contours of your teeth to properly cover all applicable surfaces, and maximize the ability of the gel.  There are a few downsides if an ill-fitting tray:  Tooth sensitivity can occur, but typically only lasts until the gel is removed. Gum irritation is a common side-effect of whitening gel. Slight burns may even appear. Some using whitening gels experience lips and throat as well. Depending on the type of gel and the construction of tray, there could be variations in the amount of gel to use.  Have your dentist provide you with instructions on how to use the gel, when to use it, and for how long. These things depend on your clinical status and desired final result as well as your oral hygiene and eating habits, which are crucial in the whitening procedure. Your dentist may even demonstrate gel use. To decrease the chances of experiencing sensitivity complications, you’ll want to condition your teeth with something containing potassium nitrate and fluoride.  There are a few things you can do to make the transition easier.  Brush using a desensitizing toothpaste for a few weeks prior to starting bleaching treatments. Allow ample time for any inner-mouth cuts to heal.  Use plain glycerin or alcohol-free mouthwash if there are any existing mouth ulcers Give your tray a bleach-free test-run for fit and comfort. Check if the margins of the tray go over your gum line for more than 4 mm. If they do, you will need to have it reshaped by your dentist. Use either a dab per tooth or put a small line into the front part of the tray.  Do not fill the tray or spread the gel around.  An ideal amount is about halfway up the inner front of the tray.  Approximately 0.5 ml of gel is the amount per arch you’d like to apply.  Apply firm pressure and try moving the tray from left to right for a better distribution of the gel on your teeth. Do not push so hard that the gel oozes outward. Some recommend bleaching just the front 6-8 teeth...

While you don't want to open your first few dates with "do you want to get married," you should find someone who is comfortable with commitment. Signs to look for include:  A willingness to talk about the future. Emotional and social maturity, the ability to have a discussion or argument calmly. Prior serious relationships. Make him dinner. Go to movies. Have a picnic in a park. Take the time to get to know each other and develop a solid relationship built on love and trust. Don't rush him with hints about wanting a happy marriage with him until you've been dating for awhile. People change, especially after the wonder and joy of a brand new relationship wear off. You want to see this side of them before you commit "until death do you part." Relationship expert John Molloy, the author of the book, Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others, says that women who rush a man with hints about marriage too early in the relationship (first 6-8 months) will likely scare him off. Men aren't usually ready to pop the question, at minimum, until age 26 if they are college graduates. If you are looking for a proposal earlier than this, you may need to spend some more time dating before someone pops the question.  Men getting graduate or professional degrees after college usually marry 2-3 years later. Men who did not go to college generally marry 2-3 years earlier. After age 33, most men become less likely to marry. Moving in together is a great step towards marriage, because you get to see how you function during mundane, day-to-day life. After 6-8 months or more, try getting a place together and make sure your relationship stays strong. Rushing into marriage before you know you can live together can lead to awkward and unfortunate surprises later on. Having the blessing of your family and peers leads to longer marriage satisfaction and lower divorce rates. If you want to hide him from your parents or your friends hate him, there is likely something holding you two back from being truly happy. Ask for opinions about you as a...

TL;DR in English: Meet an eligible guy who is serious about being in a long-term relationship. Get to know each other by dating for several months. Know when most people are ready to marry.

We all feel impatient and can get stressed out and anxious waiting for something to happen. The first step to learning to wait patiently is understanding when impatience has arisen, and where that feeling is coming from. Although you may be waiting for something to arrive, or happen, it is your response to that situation that results in the stress of waiting.  For example, if you were stuck in a traffic jam you would probably get annoyed at the situation or maybe the other cars for holding you up. It is, however, your response to this situation which determines whether you wait patiently or impatiently. People often get impatient when they perceive the environment as not conforming to their expectations. Recognising that expectations are only expectations and are often not totally realistic can help you to identify impatience. Waiting can be frustrating because you feel you have lost control over something. The fact is that you cannot control your environment and there will inevitably be times when you have to wait for extended periods. Accepting this can help you to feel more free and calm. Acknowledging that you cannot clear an accident that has caused a traffic jam is much better than getting annoyed and frustrated about something you have no influence on. Often anxiety about waiting is connected to the feeling that the wait will be followed by bad news or a negative outcome, which can make it harder to wait patiently. Research suggests that those people who have a more positive outlook, and are generally more optimistic about the outcome of what they are waiting for, will find waiting patiently easier.  Try to foster a more optimistic outlook and learn to feel more comfortable with uncertainty. This means letting go of a sense of control. Try to ground yourself and focus on the present moment. For instance, you could look for 3 things that are colored blue in your environment, or notice the way your body feels (without judgement).  If you are anticipating bad news, try to find a positive in it in advance....

As your bladder fills, nerve endings in the pelvis send signals to your brain that it is time to relieve yourself. Because the urge to urinate originates from these nerve signals, try to distract yourself by thinking of something else.  Try to think complex thoughts, like brainstorming ideas for a new project at work or coming up with a solution to a scheduling issue at home. If you think of simple thoughts -- like counting to 10 or going over the alphabet -- this will not fully distract you from your body's signals to urinate. If you can wear headphones and have access to your phone or computer, try listening to the news or a podcast with a complex story. Taking in outside information will help you ignore the urge to pee. You will naturally feel the urge to cross your legs and keep pressure on your pelvis. While you can do this, you should keep the rest of your body relaxed as this will distract you from the discomfort of a full bladder.  Roll your shoulders backwards and forwards. Roll your head from side to side. This will relieve pressure on your spine and neck that you might feel if you are keeping a tense posture. If you are sitting, cross your legs so you exert slight pressure on your bladder. Square your shoulders and extend your spine. This will help you sit up straight. Do not slouch as this will put extra, unnecessary weight onto your bladder. If you are standing, position yourself with your feet parallel and your toes touching. Distribute your weight evenly across each leg and stand tall. You might feel the urge to cross your legs while standing, but try to avoid doing this. Crossing your legs will feel awkward because it will put an uneven amount of weight on one leg. If you cannot access a bathroom when you need to urinate, this will cause a significant amount of mental and physical stress. Breathe deeply from your diaphragm, pushing out the muscles in your lower belly as you inhale and drawing them back in as your exhale. This deep, measured breathing will relieve pressure on your pelvis. It...

TL;DR in English: Distract yourself mentally. Relax your muscles. Breathe deeply. Avoid constrictive clothing. Avoid making any disruptive movements, such as bouncing, shaking, or jumping.

Depending on the brand of tuner available, you may need to press a button, flip a switch, or simple open your tuner to turn it on. As there are many different models of tuner, you'll have to follow your tuner's direction for best results.   Desktop tuners are small devices that can be set up on flat surfaces, like a desk or music stand, while tuning. These frequently have ¼" input/output to connect to both bass and amp.  Clip on tuners are generally very convenient for practice, though these can be unsightly if left on during a performance. You should clip these onto your headstock when tuning. When you're in a pinch and you don't have a tuner on hand, you could always look up a free bass guitar tuner online on your phone or computer. There are even guitar tuning apps you can download to your phone so you're never without one. Depending on your phone and the quality of the app/website tuning service, some of these online tuners may be low quality.

TL;DR in English: Turn on your tuner. Make use of online tools when a tuner is unavailable.

It can be difficult to provide concrete evidence of cheating, but it is important to make sure you have proof before you make any allegations.  If you found plagiarism in your student’s paper, try to locate the original passage by searching online. Photocopy a random sample of exams, tests, or major assignments before returning them to students. A common temptation for cheaters is submitting a modified exam for a regrade, especially if they are close and want to be moved across a grade boundary. If you catch a student using notes, study guides, or other materials to cheat on a test or exam, gather these as soon as you discover it. Do so discreetly so as to not disrupt your other students. When you suspect someone of cheating, confront him/her after the exam or test. If he/she is not forthcoming about cheating, ask him/her to reproduce the answers for the exam or test. If he/she is unable to do so, he/she may have cheated. Check with your school before applying penalties for cheating. Doing so without following established procedures can put you at risk for legal action.

An oatmeal mask is a great substitute for bleach on your skin. Oatmeal helps exfoliate the skin. This exfoliation gets rid of old skin cells. Getting rid of these old cells is the best way to encourage growth of new skin cells that will lighten and brighten your skin. To make your mask, you'll need a teaspoon of oatmeal powder, a pinch of turmeric and a few drops of lemon juice. Simply use a blender to blend oats for oatmeal powder. If you don't have a blender, use a tablespoon of raw oats instead. Mix your oatmeal powder (or oatmeal), turmeric powder, and lemon juice in a small bowl. If you plan on putting it on more than just your face, evenly multiply the measurements as necessary. Mix it into a thick paste. Apply the paste evenly over your face. Let it dry. This will take up to 15 minutes so make sure you give yourself enough time. Once your mask has dried, use warm water to wash it off. While you're washing it off, scrub it over your face. The dried oatmeal will exfoliate your skin. This scrub is very effective but takes time to work because it is much less harsh than bleach. It will take patience to reach your desired goal, but continue using this mask daily and you'll see a noticeable difference.

TL;DR in English: Gather your ingredients. Create your mask. Apply and let it sit. Scrub while you wash it off. Repeat once daily.

The best way to do this is work on collecting your layers year round. Whenever you find a warm winter coat someone else has thrown away, hold on to it. It will come in handy during the winter, and can be used as a pillow or to lay on other times of the year. Think about using a plastic bag over you if you don't have a waterproof layer -- if you get wet, you get cold. You can insulate yourself with multiple layers, but if you’re still cold, try newspaper. By crumpling it up and stuffing it between layers of clothing you can create insulating pockets of air that will help keep you warm. You could also try foam pieces or blankets between your clothing, both of which are much warmer than newspaper. Plastic bags also work well. If you have nothing else, dry leaves will even work. Don't use fiberglass insulation (often pink fibers between layers of paper, used in houses). The tiny glass fibers will cut your skin and could cause infection. Wear multiple socks on cold nights. Before it gets cold, work on finding boots that cover your whole foot, ankle, and part of your leg. Keeping your feet and lower legs protected from cold wind is essential to staying warm. If you are really cold, you might need to create layers of insulation on your feet, perhaps even including plastic bags. Make sure you go to bed with dry socks on.

TL;DR in English: Dress in layers. Use insulation techniques. Don’t forget your feet.

Prenuptial agreements must be professionally drafted in order to ensure they do not run afoul of state law. Therefore, it is very important that you and your spouse each hire your own attorneys. If both parties are represented by the same attorney, it will be seen as a direct conflict of interest, which may affect the viability of your agreement.  To find an attorney ask friends and family for recommendations. If they do not have any recommendations, you should look at your state bar's website, which will often have a lawyer referral service or a list of qualified attorneys. When you are choosing an attorney, find one who specializes in marriages and prenuptial agreements. Once you find some potential candidates, sit down with them for an initial consultation. During this consultation you should ask the attorney about their background and experience in dealing with prenuptial agreements. Make sure you feel comfortable with them representing you. When you find the right attorney, hire them and make sure you get your fee arrangement in writing. Prenuptial agreements usually come down to money, so you and your partner should talk openly about your respective finances, and what will happen to each person's money and assets once the two of you are married. Even if you don't end up drafting an actual agreement, getting this information out in the open will provide a strong foundation of trust for your marriage going forward.  Be sure to touch on all the financial issues that may affect your future marriage, including: current assets and debts, credit ratings, shared expenses, whether you and your partner will maintain separate bank accounts, what you and your partner's financial goals are, whether one of you will stay at home with the children or if you will both work, etc.  Try beginning the conversation with a financial issue both of you share: "Hey, so I was looking over some bills today, and I realize I still have a ways to go in paying off my student loans. What do yours look like?" It is best to have this...

Sand blasters are powerful pressure washers that project a blend of water and sand to clean a surface. There are different types of sand blasters, so you will make sure that you select one suited to removing graffiti. Beware, sand blasters can remove underlying paint as well, so you will usually only want to use a sandblaster on a plain surface.  Sand blasters can be used to clean a wide variety of surfaces including concrete, metal, brick, masonry, and wood.  Sand blasters can be erosive! Be careful on old stone, brick, and wood, as a sandblaster can speed the deterioration of porous surfaces. Sand blasters can remove paint, rust, and grease as well. For most sand blasters, you'll want to be choosing round silica to clean graffiti from surfaces. It is effective and inexpensive. Of course, make sure that the sand type you choose is suitable for both your blaster and the surface in question. Place your sandblast probe into the sand you will be using and attach the dispensing end to your power washer nozzle. Make sure that your sand source stays dry and moisture free.  Your sand must be completely dry. Moisture could cause the sand to clump which would compromise functionality.  Be sure to use safety goggles! Sand and debris can easily damage your eyes. Before you begin to work on cleaning the graffiti you may wish to familiarize yourself with the sand blaster by doing a trial run on a similar piece of material. Once you are confident that you have the hang of things you'll be able to get started. When you first start, you'll want to sandblast the graffiti at an angle. Firing directly at the graffiti at a 90 degree angle is extremely powerful and can also cause damage to the underlying surface. Begin at an indirect angle and move from there.  You're looking for an angle that removes the graffiti without harming the underlying surface. Once you find that angle, move back and forth methodically. Generally cleaning a square foot at a time is a good way to start. Now that you are set up and know how to use your...

TL;DR in English: Select a sand blaster. Choose the right type of sand. Set up your equipment. Carefully test your equipment. Start cleaning the graffiti. Keep going until it is clear. Evaluate your work. Wrap up.

Find a church that has a mission trip planned. Ask questions and listen to their experiences intently. Chances are they’ll have a wealth of knowledge to share about the pros and cons of mission work. Some questions to get you started are:  Why did you become a missionary? What did your daily routine

Consult with your pastor about mission trips. Reach out to a mentor. Investigate several different missionary organizations. Narrow down your areas of interest. Research potential landing spots. Speak with an immigrant from any potential countries. Choose a program that meets your length preferences.

Depending on the temperature of the room, choose a blanket that keeps you at a comfortable temperature. Consider having a few options for blankets in case the temperature fluctuates. Tuck the blanket over your shoulders, around your body, and under your legs and feet to prevent drafts. Choose a pillow that will stay in place and provide support for your neck. If a pillow is unavailable, consider using a rolled-up sweatshirt or towel. Aim for both comfort and support in choosing pillows. Controlled breathing allows you to focus on the moment and clear your head. The extra oxygen acts as a "natural tranquilizer for the nervous system." This breathing exercise can lull you to sleep.  Exhale completely through your mouth while making a "whoosh'" sound. Close your mouth and inhale through your nose to the count of four. Hold your breath to the count of seven. Exhale completely through your mouth with the "whoosh" sound for eight seconds Inhale again and repeat the cycle three times. If you cannot fall asleep immediately, do not become anxious. Continue slow, controlled breathing and try to keep your eyes closed. Focus on relaxing each muscle and resting your body and mind.

The pastor at your congregation is most likely a helpful and easily available resource. They will know if your church has any upcoming mission trips planned or will be able to refer you to familiar organizations. They may also provide advice to make sure mission work is the right path for you. It’s very likely someone at your place of worship has been a missionary before. Ask questions and listen to their experiences intently. Chances are they’ll have a wealth of knowledge to share about the pros and cons of mission work. Some questions to get you started are:  Why did you become a missionary? What did your daily routine look like? What kind of lifestyle adjustments did you have to make before leaving? Was there anything you wish you had known prior to leaving? Did the trip end up helping your faith grow? Every group will have a faith-based methodology for its programs. Catholic groups can have differing philosophies from Protestant ones. Make sure to pick one that lines up perfectly with your own ideals. Your pastor or members of your congregation can have great insight into this. Some mission trips will focus on solely promoting Christianity in foreign countries, while others will have more tangible activities for you to complete. These can vary greatly from constructing homes and installing wells in villages to promoting literacy programs and providing medical support. Try making a list of activities you’re most interested in and well equipped at completing. Focus on the groups that entail that kind of work. Many mission trips are based in developing countries, but some stay within the United States or travel to more developed countries. Familiarize yourself with the languages, culture, and geography of the places you plan to work in. Some organizations will let you have a say in where you end up, while others may assign you a location. Be sure to cross check your areas of interest with an organization’s religious philosophy and location options. It’s possible that an immigrant from one of the countries on...

You want to make sure that the page lays flat on the surface, so smooth it with your hands to ensure that it’s not folded or bent in any areas. Cover the ironing board with a clean towel or sheet before setting the paper down to ensure that it doesn’t get dirty.  Depending on the type of paper and what kind of ink is used on it, you may want to lightly mist it with distilled water before setting it on the ironing board. The water can help soften the paper, so it’s easier to press out the wrinkles. However, it can also make some types of ink, such as inkjet printer ink, run, so you may want to mist a test page before doing it to the paper that you’re trying to smooth. If you don’t have an ironing board, any flat surface, such as a table, counter, or even floor, can work. Just make sure to line it with a very thick cotton towel to protect it from the heat. You don’t want the page to get too hot when you apply heat because you run the risk of scorching it. That’s why it helps to place a clean towel or piece of fabric over it before you get your iron out. Don’t fold the towel or fabric into too many layers, though, or it may be difficult for the heat to reach the paper. Because you don’t want to damage the paper, it’s best to start with the lowest heat setting. If you notice that the wrinkles aren’t coming out of the paper once you start ironing, raise the heat slightly. Make sure to wait until the iron is heated before you start ironing the page. Depending on the iron’s type and model, it can take anywhere from one to three minutes. You can use the same technique that you would if you were ironing clothing. Move the iron over the cloth-covered paper in small circular motions, making sure that you don’t let it linger in any one spot for too long. Every so often, stop, lift the cloth, and check to see if the wrinkles are gone. If they aren’t, keep ironing until you’re satisfied with the paper’s smoothness. While you should move the iron just as you would with clothing, it’s important to keep in mind that you’re...

TL;DR in English: Place paper on an ironing board. Cover the paper. Set your iron to low. Iron the paper.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the common cold can fall under several designations, but the most common type experienced is the wind cold. The goal of treatment for wind cold is to shorten the duration of the disease and to provide immediate relief from the symptoms. Some signs of a cold caused by wind cold are: cold intolerance, mild fever, absence of sweat, chest tightness or congestion, and runny nose with clear mucus. Ginger tea is thought to help expel the ‘evil’, or pathogens that cause cold. The ginger is also said to promote a healthy appetite which is needed for speedy recovery.  Prepare ginger tea by shredding about 15 grams of fresh ginger. Put the ginger in a pot of 200 milliliters of boiling water, and then add brown sugar to taste. This tea should be served warm twice a day. After taking the ginger tea, you should go to bed and make it a point to cover your body in warm blankets to ensure perspiration. Expellin extract is thought to rid the body of wind cold. It also serves to relieve headaches caused by the invasion of exogenous wind, the type of headache that is experienced during rhinitis and sinusitis. This remedy is usually used to treat the early stages of common cold caused by wind cold.  This extract contains Japanese honeysuckle, burdock, forsythia, isatis, and lophantherum. These ingredients are thought to expel heat and clear toxins. Ginseng and menthol extract is used to expel or eradicate pathogens coming from the wind. This can also help alleviate the stress of cold and damp conditions due to the imbalance of qi. Blue dragon extract is used to repel harmful fluid from an external cold. It is used to treat fever and the chills through sweating, which can help expel diffused phlegm. The use of this concoction can expel or eradicate exogenous pathogen patterns by allowing the body to release cold through sweating. Treatment of this type is centered on the release of the pathogen through sweating, so other sweat-inducing herbs can be beneficial. Chinese medicine experts...

Start with a 10 pound dumbbell. Hold the dumbbell overhead with both hands.

Perform the tombstone face to face with your opponent and arm length apart. Get into the starting position by grabbing their right shoulder with your left hand.  In a professional setting, the tombstone often starts with a kick or by throwing your opponent against the ropes. Do not try these yet. Just get the basics of the move down first. If you’re left-handed, reverse these instructions. Some piledrivers are performed with the opponent facing away from you, but this wouldn't be a tombstone piledriver. Continue holding your opponent's shoulder. Then lift their left arm and tuck your right hand underneath it. Place your hand on their upper arm, just above the armpit. Lift their arm and bring it towards your left side. Tuck your head down under their arm. Then rest the arm on your left shoulder. Keep holding their right shoulder with your left hand while you flip their other arm. While keeping their arm over your shoulder and your left hand on their shoulder, reach down with your right hand. Grab the inside of the opponent’s thigh a few inches down from their groin. You may have to bend down a bit to reach their leg, depending on how tall you both are. If you do have to bend, lower your body with your legs by bending your knees. Bending over from your hips stresses your back too much. Get a firm grip on the opponent’s leg and shoulder. Then flip them by swinging their legs to your right and rotating them 180 degrees. Point their legs straight up in the air. Both people need to work together at this part especially. The opponent has to jump while you lift. Otherwise you could seriously injure your back trying to lift that much weight. Stand up straight so your body is in a good position to support your opponent's weight. Then rest them on your shoulder by folding their hips over your shoulder. Don't slouch or bend, or you risk injuring your back. Remember that your opponent has to help you here. They shouldn't be dead weight. Make sure they hold onto you and point their legs up to help you support their weight....

TL;DR in English: Face your opponent and grab their right shoulder with your left hand. Tuck your right hand under their left arm. Toss their left arm onto your left shoulder. Grab the inside of their left thigh with your right hand. Flip the opponent over your right shoulder. Rest your opponent on your shoulder by their hips. Hold your opponent around their midsection. Align their head 6 inches (15 cm) above your knees. Drop your knees to the ground. Open your arms and let the person roll away from you.

Consider the possibility of getting treatment for addiction to tramadol. You can also consult your doctor about whether or not in or outpatient treatment might be a good way for you to get through stopping taking the pills. Addiction treatments include the organization of treatment programs for patients, usually offering a combination of medical attention and counseling or group therapy to help get off the drug and understand the emotions behind using.  Inpatient treatment involves a long stay at a residential facility, and is used for severe cases of tramadol addiction. Here, you will find a controlled and safe environment for the detoxification process. Outpatient treatment provides treatment and therapy at a clinic as you continue your normal routine at home. This type of treatment is used for less severe cases of use for patients who want to be able to continue the activities and relationships of daily life while detoxing. If you decide to go to a detox center or rehab facility, use this link to find a program close to you. Counselors, doctors, and psychiatrists are all at your disposal and are trained to help you resist the temptation of drug addiction. Behavior treatments can help to find ways to deal with cravings in drug use, and experts can suggest strategies to avoid relapse and deal with it if it occurs. After tramadol detox, it might be important to begin examining the root causes of your addiction to the drug. Often, drug use becomes a way of coping with life and intense emotions. Through behavioral therapy and counseling, you can look at the causes of and contributors to addiction and start to learn new ways of coping with and healing wounds from life’s difficulties. Support groups, like those that follow the 12-step format, are great opportunities to maintain your sobriety with others who understand the difficulties of doing so. During meetings you will be able to share your struggles and exchange tips for coping with life during and after detox. These groups are also a major help in preventing...

Keep your feet together and flat on the floor.  Hold your torso firmly with abs engaged. Keep your back straight. Your elbows will be pointing forward. Keep them tucked close to your ears.

TL;DR in English:


Don’t expect a long-term partner to read your mind.  If you find yourself becoming frustrated that your partner does not meet your needs or expectations, try having a conversation in which you outline those needs.  For example, you may feel as though your partner does not appreciate you because she does not tell

State your needs explicitly. Ask about your partner’s needs. Be sensitive to your partner’s needs. Stay positive. Manage conflicts. Have “big picture” conversations.

Avoid applying apple cider vinegar to broken or damaged skin. Vinegar is irritating and may make your compromised skin vulnerable to bacterial infections. Your doctor can treat bacterial infections with topical or oral antibiotics. Minimize skin irritation by not putting vinegar on your face or genitals. This will likely sting and can compromise the integrity of your skin. It is especially important to avoid your eye area. Rinse your skin and halt your vinegar use if the vinegar stings or inflames your skin. There are no confirmed medical benefits of using vinegar topically. It's best to consult a doctor about any skin concerns rather than trying untested home remedies. Avoid applying apple cider vinegar to your skin for more than a minute or two at a time, especially not with occlusive dressings, such as bandages. Especially under dressings, vinegar can erode your skin and cause serious burns. Some skin types may be more sensitive to acids like vinegar than others, so it's difficult to advise on a safe level of exposure.

TL;DR in English: Use apple cider vinegar only on healthy skin. Steer clear of sensitive areas. Stop using apple cider vinegar if you feel burning or irritation. Don't put apple cider vinegar on the skin for prolonged periods of time.

After the injured person is stabilized, it's time to immobilize the broken bone if you anticipate a wait of an hour or longer for emergency medical personnel. Immobilizing it can help reduce the pain and protect the broken bone from further injury caused by inadvertent movement. If you don't have proper training, don't try to realign the bone. Attempting to align broken bones improperly can lead to further damage to blood vessels and nerves, leading to potential bleeding and potential paralysis. Keep in mind that splints only work for limb bones, not those of the pelvis or torso.  The best method of immobilization is to make a simple splint. Place a piece of stiff cardboard or plastic, a branch or stick, a metal rod, or rolled up newspaper/magazine on either side of the injury to support the bone. Tie these supports together firmly with tape, string, rope, cord, rubber tubing, leather belt, necktie, scarf, etc. When splinting a fractured bone, try to allow movement in the adjacent joints and don't secure it too tight — allow appropriate blood circulation. Splinting may not be necessary if emergency services are coming right away. In this case, splinting may cause more harm than good if you don't have the appropriate training. Once the broken bone is immobilized, apply something cold (preferably ice) to it as soon as you can while you wait for the ambulance. Cold therapy has many benefits, including numbing the pain, reducing inflammation / swelling and reducing bleeding by causing the arteries to constrict. If you don't have ice handy, consider using frozen gel packs or bags of vegetables, but make sure to wrap anything cold in a thin cloth in order to avoid ice burn or frostbite.  Apply ice for about 20 minutes or until the area is completely numb before removing it. Compressing it against the injury may help reduce swelling even more as long as it doesn't increase the pain. While applying the ice, make sure the broken bone is elevated in order to combat swelling and slow down bleeding (if applicable)....

TL;DR in English: Immobilize the broken bone. Apply ice to the injury. Keep calm and watch for signs of shock. Consider pain medication.

Don't expect a longtime partner to read your mind.  If you find yourself becoming frustrated that your partner does not meet your needs or expectations, try having a conversation in which you outline those needs.  For example, you may feel as though your partner does not appreciate you because she does not tell you that she appreciates you.  It’s quite possible that she feels appreciative and notices all of the things that you do, but she doesn’t say anything about them.  In this case, you might tell her, “Sometimes I feel unappreciated. It would help me feel more appreciated if you would verbally acknowledge what I have done and thank me for it.” Another example is if you feel as though your partner is no longer attracted to you because she does not typically initiate intimacy.  If this is the case, tell her how you feel and explain how you would like her to act differently. When discussing your emotional needs, be sure to offer reciprocation by asking what your partner’s needs are. If your partner tends to be less communicative about emotions, you may need to help her find the language to communicate her needs.  Be patient and realize that she may need time to think about it before responding.  If she asks for time, don’t forget to follow up. When she does talk to you, really listen to and try to understand what she says. Once you have shared your needs with each other, you and your partner should try to put your knowledge into action.  You may even work together to create an “action plan” to implement meeting each other’s needs.   For example, if your partner wishes for you to verbally communicate your appreciation for her, you might set a reminder on your phone to pay her a compliment a couple of times a week. You could say things like, “thank you for planning and organizing our upcoming vacation. I know you have worked very hard to try to make everything go smoothly for the entire family” or “it really means a lot to me that you got up and made me breakfast before I left for work this morning.  You do so...

Eat a healthy diet. Visit your doctor yearly for cholesterol and blood pressure checks. Control your blood sugar. Reduce your risk for Cardiovascular Disease and Atherosclerosis. Stop smoking Drink more tea.

Find inexpensive foods that are filling. Try shopping at discount stores, ethnic markets, and farmers markets. Look into emergency food assistance programs.

Using a light application of perfume or cologne on your pulse points makes you smell fresh. However, spraying loads of it on mid-day to mask the smell of sweat is not a good idea. You’ll make matters worse if you try to cover up unfresh smells with strong floral or earthy scents. It’s better to find a way to take a quick shower or use cleansing wipes if you don’t have time. If you tend to get bad breath after eating onions, or your skin smells like garlic a few hours after consuming spaghetti sauce, choose what you eat a little more carefully. Stick with lighter foods like salads, fruits and vegetables, especially on days when staying fresh is a priority. Eating these foods has the added benefit of keeping body odor to a minimum.  Know which foods give you indigestion, too. Common culprits are beans, greasy foods and cruciferous vegetables. Spicy foods may make you sweat more than usual. If your bedroom, car, and other places where you hang out aren’t clean, it’s going to affect the way you smell and look. For example, if you have a messy bedroom and never hang up your clothes, they might smell a little stale and look wrinkled. Here’s what you can do:  Put away clean laundry right away, and keep dirty laundry in a closed hamper. Vacuum often, especially if you have a pet. Clean out the inside of your car. Clean out your office and other places where you spend hours of time a day.

TL;DR in English: Avoid dousing yourself in perfume or cologne. Stay away from strong-smelling foods. Don’t neglect your personal spaces.

Regular exercise improves blood flow to the brain and can keep thinking and memory skills intact. Being active also helps to decrease cholesterol and blood pressure - two health issues that increase your risk for Alzheimer's. An ideal goal is to do a combination of cardiovascular exercise (i.e. getting sweaty and getting your heart rate up) and strength training to build muscle. Walking and swimming are great for those new to exercise.  Aim for 30 minutes of cardio five times per week. This is the President’s Recommendation for physical fitness. Swim, run, do an at-home exercise tape – whatever gets your blood pumping.  For those less in shape, even 40 minutes of brisk walking three times per week can be of benefit.  Talk to your healthcare provider about any medical conditions before starting a new exercise plan. There is a diet that may be designed to promote a healthy brain: the MIND Diet. The MIND Diet combines a Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet (for lowering cholesterol). The ten best brain foods in the MIND Diet are green leafy vegetables, any other vegetables, nuts (walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts are the best choices), berries (especially blueberries), beans, whole grains, fish, poultry, olive oil, and red wine. This is a great diet for your body, too, since it can also help lower blood pressure and cholesterol.  The top five foods to avoid are: Red meats, butter and margarine, cheese, pastries and sweets (sugar), and fried or fast food.  Fish contains omega-3s, which are great for brain health. Eating fish one or more times per week may reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s by up to 60%. Vegetarian options high in omega-3s are chia and flax seeds.  Red grapes contain a compound, resveratrol, that may help protect the brain. Limited consumption of red wine may be beneficial. As with any alcohol, drink only in moderation (e.g. one glass daily maximum). Red grape juice is a good alternative. Your goal Total Cholesterol should be under 200 mg/dL, and LDLs (or “bad” cholesterol) below 100 mg/dL. However,...

TL;DR in English: Exercise 3-5 times per week. Eat a brain-healthy diet. Visit your doctor yearly for cholesterol and blood pressure checks. Control your blood sugar. Reduce your risk for Cardiovascular Disease and Atherosclerosis. Stop smoking Drink more tea.

Foods that are high in fiber and protein are very filling, and often very inexpensive.  Rice and other whole grains are very cheap and can keep you feeling full for longer periods. Canned or dried beans are very healthy sources of fiber and protein. Bagged, dried beans or canned beans often cost less than a dollar at the supermarket. At times when your food budget is more plentiful, stock up on these items or cook them ahead and freeze them. Less expensive cuts of meat such as chicken thighs, bone-in, and skin-on cuts, and tougher parts of beef are good alternatives for those on a strict budget. These establishments often have better prices that will allow you to stretch a small budget.   Indian and Mexican cuisine often feature ingredients like rice and beans. These items are even cheaper at ethnic markets. Discount food stores often feature very cheap prices on canned and frozen foods. Fresh produce can be hard to come by when you are on a budget. Visit a local farmers' market towards the end of the day. It is easier to find bargains on fresh produce just before closing as the vendors are trying to unload any surplus. These programs can help you find immediate relief during a food shortage as well as long term assistance.   In the United States, the government runs a program called the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). Call your state office to get in touch with someone who will be able to provide immediate assistance. Eligibility for assistance programs varies by state. You will need to contact your state welfare agency to find out if your family is eligible for these services. Contact your local food bank. They may be able to provide you with a one-time emergency donation to get you through an immediate food crisis.
